SALE CONTINUED FROM 1A

“We look for the community to consider us with not just books but magazines and DVDs, and old VHS tapes are very popular,” said Librarian Brandon Lowrey.

Proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase materials for the library

such as books and subscriptions for magazines and newspapers. The friends group has purchased shelving that will be used in the reading area to organize donations and discards. The friends group will look at some more projects in the future.

“Right now we’re a rath-

One thing Shaw has stayed away from, up to this point, is social media.

“We don’t do anything with social media at this time and I am not sure if we will,” added Shaw.

“With the age group of students I teach that will either be limited or nonexistent.”

Although social media is still up the air, video production will be part of the curriculum, according to Shaw.

“We are going to do some video work with documentaries and they will do some other video

work, but the main gist of this is not so much the performing angle, but the editing aspect,” Shaw said. “The students will be using the program Final Cut Pro for editing which is used some in Hollywood movies like, ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’ and ‘Spiderman’.”

All students, including the new age Graphic Art students, who complete a career/technical program are ready to continue their education at the postsecondary level or to enter the workforce, said Shaw.

2014 Planning Kickoff Meeting Tuesday, Sept.

17 at Tate Baptist Church Fellowship Hall from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Kristin Chittom, the Community Representative for the Mid-South Division of the American Cancer Society, Inc., said that all participants that want to form teams, or serve, need to plan to at-

tend the 2014 planning committee.

“This is a time to encourage fall fundraising plans,” Chittom said. “We need to share breast cancer and Christmas shirt ideas to sell as well as go over other plans. Also, we will provide food at the planning event so we want to encourage everyone to come.”

Chittom also reports that the Relay for Life is really growing in Alcorn County and many lives are being saved everyday through the efforts of volunteers.

“We encourage all survivors and caregivers to take part in this life changing effort in the fight against cancer,” Chittom added.

“With your help, the or-

ganization isn’t just fighting one type of cancer, they are fighting for every birthday that is threatened by every type of cancer in every community”.

Each person who shares in these Relay For Life experience should take pride in knowing that they are working to create a better world one community at at time, said Chittom.

one to come,” he said.

Harbor said he personally understands how difficult it can be to return to church after getting out of the habit.

As a young person difficult family obligations caused his own family to get away from going to church regularly and he recalls how he felt something was missing in his life.

“It was just a void in my

life at that time,” he said.

He recalls how a friend encouraged him to come to church with them and helped push him to get back involved.

He hopes this national outreach effort can provide a similar push.

The pastor said he also understands it can often be intimidating for people to return to church after being away for whatever reason and he

hopes this type of effort will help ease those feelings of awkwardness and encourage people to take that first step.

“This is a great opportunity. Maybe if everyone is doing it, maybe it will be less awkward,” he said.

He noted last year churches participating in the effort saw an average of a 40 percent jump in attendance and he hopes to see a similar result lo-

cally.

“This is a great opportunity,” he said.

Services at Oakland Baptist Church begin today at 9 a.m. with Bible study followed by worship at 10:15 a.m. and evening services at 6:20 p.m. For a complete list of participating churches in the area visit www.backtochurch.com and click on the “Find a Church” link at the top of the page.

Guest Column Innovative ideas, setting priorities, key to reducing size of state government

BY TATE REEVES Planning Mississippi’s next budget begins Monday when the Joint Legislative Budget Committee convenes to hear requests from key agencies. To fully appreciate the task at hand, one must understand the recent history.

The Legislature, led by Rep. Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, and Sen. Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale, passed two consecutive balanced budgets that only spent 98 percent of expected revenue, setting aside 2 percent for a rainy day. We increased funding for all levels of public education -- from universities to public schools -- while maintaining or reducing funding for virtually every other agency.

Even the Legislature found cost savings.

First, we saved $58,000 by reducing the number of days the Legislature met. We also saved $6,500 by simply changing from legalsized paper to letter-sized paper at the Capitol.

In addition, the Legislature saved taxpayers $9.8 million by not purchasing new cars in Fiscal Year 2013. Unfortunately, my efforts to continue a moratorium on vehicle purchases were not successful this year; I will push for this freeze on wasteful spending in the next session.

While savings have been found across state government in recent years and expenditures have increased less than 2 percent annually, the other side of our income statement improved. Revenues increased slightly above 5 percent annually in each of the last two years. In fact, due to conservative revenue estimates that were criticized at the time, the state ended the most recent fiscal year with an additional $300-million surplus.

However, I must warn special interests groups and agency directors that are so quick to clamor for any surplus … Not so fast. State law guides these funds, which will be split between our Rainy Day funds and an account for building repairs.

The fund for building repairs is being used to honor our commitment to taxpayers we would stop issuing long-term debt to pay for new air conditioners and leaky roofs.

In fact, the state is now paying cash for repairs that were traditionally “bonded.” This year alone, the state will spend $49.2 million on repairs rather than relying on new debt.

That means universities and colleges can spend $15.2 million immediately to begin work on campus improvements.

Reducing government spending is not only trimming waste; we must continue to lower taxpayers’ overall debt burden. That is why this year, the Legislature paid off or repealed almost $500 million in bonds and only issued $199 million for projects. In 2012, the Legislature did not authorize any new debt.

In addition to the aforementioned commitments, other needs must be addressed.

For example, the state’s prison population continues to increase putting pressure on our Corrections budget. Taxpayers expect to have a Correctional system that maintains the safety of the public without bankrupting the state.

I expect the Division of Medicaid to ask for almost $1 billion in state funds — one-fifth of the general fund operating budget. Remember, this request is to simply keep the Medicaid services operating as usual and does not include expansion of Obamacare, which the Legislature opposed. Taxpayers deserve a Medicaid program that provides innovative ways to deliver care while reining in spending.

This week will be our first look at agency directors’ wish lists for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014. Some agency leaders will recognize our conservative philosophy and the fiscal reality the state faces while a few directors will paint a dismal picture they believe can only be cured with more tax dollars.

I hope agency executives will present new ideas for finding efficiencies — not simply ask for more of your money. Taxpayers should demand the same.

Prayer for today Father, please guide me so my overall goal is to persevere to the very end of this life so that when I enter the other side I hear these words of commendation, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Amen.

A verse to share “Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.” — Jeremiah 26:13

Wing-it diplomacy hurts US credibility Here’s how the Obama folks have been starting to spin Syria. The president made a credible threat to use military force in Syria. At the same time, he worked behind the scenes to get Russia’s Vladimir Putin to push Bashir al-Assad to give up chemical weapons.

These two seemingly discordant initiatives, brilliantly coordinated, combined to produce a process to eliminate Assad’s chemical weapons without even a shot being fired across the bow.

Of course, every bit of this is false. Only the most credulous Obama fans are fooled.

Back on Aug. 20, 2012, in response to an intelligent question from NBC’s Chuck Todd, the president said that the use of chemical weapons

by Syria would be a “red line” that would “change my calculus.”

That’s a threat to go to war. As the Washington Post’s Walter Pincus points out, once a president declares a red line, he should be prepared to back it up.

He should order military contingency plans, consult with members of Congress and seek support from foreign governments.

There is no evidence that Obama did any of these things in a serious or sustained way in the 366 days between his red-line statement and the use of chemical weapons in the suburbs

of Damascus -- not even after British and French intelligence reported the use of chemiMichael cal weapons Barone last spring.

Then durColumnist ing the week of Aug. 2630, leaks poured out from the administration that Obama would order air strikes in Syria, but only little ones. Regime change was off the table.

On Friday night before the Labor Day weekend, Obama suddenly decided, during a walk in the White House grounds, to seek congressional approval.

Were any soundings taken of congressional opinion before that decision? It doesn’t seem likely.

Even the slightest pulsetaking would have suggested that getting majority approval would be difficult in a House of Representatives where most Republicans mistrust the president and most Democrats are congenitally dovish.

Especially when public opinion strongly opposed any military intervention.

After Labor Day, as media vote counts started showing a majority of House members voting or leaning no, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who ac-

companied Obama on his Friday night walk, was still predicting that the administration would prevail. That was either insincere or delusional.

The claim that the Russians agreed to push Syria on chemical weapons only because Obama threatened to use force requires a belief they thought he would do so after an adverse congressional vote. Not likely.

Nor is it likely that John Kerry’s statement in his Monday press conference that the attack could be avoided if Syria submitted to inspections was part of a calculated strategy. Kerry’s next words were, “But he isn’t about to do it, and it can’t be done, obviously.”

Kerry was winging it, and so was Obama when he spoke favorably of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s offer to push Syria to give up its poison gas.

So the president’s Wednesday night speech included words supporting military action and other words explaining that it wasn’t necessary.

It can be argued that Obama’s decision to hold off on air strikes and negotiate with the Russians is better for the United States in the short run than the other two alternatives on offer -- ineffective air strikes or a landslide repudiation of the commander in chief by Con-

gress.

But in the long run, it’s a terrible setback for America.

Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger muscled the Soviet Union out of Middle East diplomacy back in 1973. In the 40 years since, American presidents have kept the Russians out.

Now they’re back in. A nation with a declining population, a weakened military and an economy propped up by oil and gas exports has suddenly made itself the key interlocutor in the region.

Obama has allowed this even though it’s obvious that effective disarmament is impossible in a nation riven by civil war and ruled by a regime with every incentive and inclination to lie and conceal.

The negotiations and any fig-leaf inspection process can be dragged out for weeks, months and years, as Saddam Hussein demonstrated.

Obama said he hoped to degrade Syria’s chemical weapons program. Instead he has degraded his own -and America’s -- credibility.

The billionaire mayor vs. the plumber Michael Bloomberg is the mayor of New York and a media mogul who weekends in Bermuda and whose net worth is an estimated $27 billion. Victor Head runs a plumbing business with his brother in Pueblo, Colo.

The two clashed from a distance in the Colorado gun recalls, and Head gave the billionaire a righteous drubbing. The defeat of two progun-control Colorado state senators in recall elections sends a message that should be heard all the way back on the Upper East Side, and maybe even in Hamilton.

It wasn’t too long ago that Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns was supposed to be the great equalizer in the gun debate. This was before dozens of mayors quit the organization, some of them explaining that it had dawned on them that the group wasn’t against illegal guns so much as for making more guns illegal. And before the Colorado recall.

The gun-control measures at issue are relatively mild compared with what guncontrol advocates truly want.

to 15 rounds and imposed background checks on private transactions. Nevertheless, it was Rich a career-endLowry ing vote for the two tarNational Review geted Democrats.

The recallees, state Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo, weren’t fighting on hostile territory.

In terms of registration, Morse’s district is split three ways among Democrats, Republicans and independents. Giron’s district is a heavily working-class area that has been a Democratic stronghold forever.

It was always thought that Morse could go down, and he did by 51 percent to 49 percent. That Giron would follow him and by a larger margin, 56-44, was shocking.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz waved off the defeats. She

blamed “voter suppression, pure and simple,” and the National Rifle Association and the Koch brothers.

It is true that the recall didn’t have Colorado’s accustomed voting by mail and turnout was low, but it was a free and fair election. As for the NRA and the Kochbacked group Americans for Prosperity, they certainly played in Colorado. The prorecall forces were still badly outspent, by as much as 8-to-1 according to some estimates. Mayor Bloomberg wrote a check for $350,000.

For his part, Victor Head embarked months ago on a grass-roots campaign to take on city hall. When he heard that Colorado was going to adopt new gun-control measures in the wake of Newtown, Conn., Head initiated what would become the recall with that most fearsome of political weapons -- some fliers.

He printed and distributed them to local gun clubs to make people aware of an upcoming town-hall meeting for Giron. At the next town hall, he again handed out fliers to build a crowd, but this

time Giron ruled that the discussion was to be exclusively about mortgages.

Head still got Giron to agree to hold one more town hall before the vote on guns, and this time roughly 1,000 people showed up. If Giron didn’t realize then that she had a populist revolt on her hands, she needed to be in a different line of work -- and now she is.

What so got under Head’s skin, the sense that his representative wasn’t listening to him, added fuel to the recalls more broadly.

The anti-recall side can now make excuses, but it used to be cleareyed about the stakes. In an interview with The New Republic prior to the recall, Giron explained, “For Mayors Against Illegal Guns, if they lose even one of these seats, they might as well fold it up.

And they understand that.”

Score one for the plumber.

Rescues accelerate as floodwaters inundate plains LYONS, Colo. — The rescue of Coloradoans stranded by epic mountain flooding accelerated Saturday as debris-filled rivers became muddy seas that extended into towns and farms miles from the Rockies.

Authorities expected to find more fatalities when full scope of destruction emerged.

Helicopters and hundreds of National Guard troops searched the mountainous terrain for people as food and water supplies ran low in remote communities cut off since Thursday. Thousands were being driven to safety in convoys.

A woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses saw floodwaters from the Big Thompson River destroy her home in the Cedar Cove area, Larimer County sheriff’s spokesman John Schulz said.

“We’re sure there are going to be additional homes that have been destroyed, but we won’t know that for a while,” Schulz said. I expect that we’re going to continue to receive reports of confirmed missing and confirmed fatalities throughout the next several days.”

Four people have been confirmed dead since the harrowing floods began Wednesday. The high water has affected an area nearly the size of Connecticut.

National Guard helicopters flew in and out of the mountain hamlet of Jamestown late into Friday night after it became isolated by rushing water that scoured the canyon the village sits in.

Rescuers on the ground focused on the town of Lyons.

By Saturday morning, the Guard had evacuated nearly 800 people by air and ground. More than a dozen helicopters were available to aid with rescue efforts.

Greyhound bus turns over in southwest Ohio; 35 injured CINCINNATI — A Greyhound bus drove off an interstate highway in southwest Ohio early Saturday, struck a tree and a fence and flipped on its side before sliding to a stop in a cornfield, injuring at least 35 people.

None of the injuries was considered lifethreatening, though several people were trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters and paramedics, the State Highway Patrol said in a statement.

There was no immediate word on the cause of the crash, but passenger

Christopher Lake, of Michigan, told WCPOTV in Cincinnati that he saw the driver slumped over. Lake said he heard a woman scream at the driver “Wake up! Wake up!” but that he thinks the man might have had a medical problem.

The bus drove off the right side of northbound Interstate 75 about 25 miles north of Cincinnati at about 3:50 a.m., the patrol said. Lake told the TV station the bus rolled over twice after hitting the tree.

Authorities said that the crash remained under investigation.

Jeff Galloway, director of the Butler County Emergency Management Agency, said 35 people were taken to hospitals, six by helicopters and 29 by ambulance. The injuries ranged from minor to severe, officials said.

Sandusky bid for new trial goes to court in Pennsylvania HARRISBURG, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky’s challenge to his child molestation conviction goes before a state appeals court on Tuesday, as the former Penn State assistant football coach seeks to overturn a sentence that could keep him behind bars for life.

Pennsylvania’s Superior Court will decide whether prosecutors made an improper reference to the fact that Sandusky did not testify, whether jury instructions were mishandled and whether the defense should have been given more time before trial to digest a large volume of investigative material.

The court is meeting in Wilkes-Barre, part of efforts to make its proceedings accessible to a wider public.

Sandusky, who spent decades working under football coach Joe Paterno, was convicted in July 2012 of 45 counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys, including eight victims who testified against him. Judge John Cleland subsequently declared him a sexually violent predator and sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in state prison.

Sandusky is seeking a new trial. His appeals attorney, Norris Gelman, said this week that Sandusky, who is largely isolated from the prison population, will not be in the courtroom.

State Briefs

Hot spots slow search for cause of New Jersey fire SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — Continuing hot spots could hamper investigators trying to figure out the cause of a fire that charred four blocks of bars, pizza shops and T-shirt stands — perhaps 50 businesses in all — on a Jersey shore boardwalk that still was trying to recover from Superstorm Sandy.

The initial problem is spots where flames could keep flaring up among the rubble from the blaze that shot fireballs 50 feet into the sky Thursday night before crews got it contained.

In a news briefing Friday, Gov. Chris Christie said it would be “irresponsible for any of us to speculate” what sparked the fire that is believed to have started in or near a frozen custard stand. He said the firefighters working on spraying down any flare-ups are also doing their best to preserve evidence for the fire investigation team that’s trying to piece together just what happened.

In the meantime, plans to rebuild again already are in the works.

Bob Martucci, the borough administrator in Seaside Park, said it will cost $600,000 to rebuild the boroughowned boardwalk that was burned in his town.

That would cover just the stretch of boardwalk itself, not the businesses that were ruined.

Christie said Friday that government grants or loans could be made available to businesses to cover costs that insurance will not cover.

“I will not permit all the work we’ve done over the last 10 months to be diminished or destroyed by what happened last night,” he said Friday as he stood across the street from a stillsmoldering pizza shop and a gutted arcade that he used to patronize with his family. U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, a Democrat whose district is just a few miles from the boardwalk, said he would ask if federal money sent to towns to rebuild after Sandy could be used to help.

Authorities find woman’s body in Aberdeen ABERDEEN — Police say they have found a body in Aberdeen and are trying to determine if it is a woman who has been missing for nearly three weeks.

Aberdeen Police Chief Henry Randle tells WTVA-TV that the body was found Friday about 10:45 a.m. just off of Peacock Alley in Aberdeen.

Randle stopped short of saying that the body is that of 26-year old Teresa Ewing of Aberdeen, who has been missing for some 18 days.

“We’re going to send the body down to Jackson and make sure it’s a confirmed match as to what we think. Actually we’re not confirming anything just yet,” said Randle.

Randle says it will take a positive identification and DNA to confirm that it is Ewing.

Randle says he expects to know more about the missing body on Saturday and that a person of interest was in custody, but had not been charged.

Residents have been watching and searching with authorities and are coming to grips with what could be the discovery of Teresa Ewing’s body.

“I think it’s sad. It is, it’s very, very sad,” said Shirley Polk of Aberdeen.

Court schedules rental ordinance dispute hearing JACKSON — Property owner Mike Crook’s fight with the city of Madison over an ordinance he claims is designed to keep renters out of the Jackson suburb has made its way to the state Court of Appeals.

Oral arguments are set Oct. 15 in Jackson.

Crook was convicted in 2011 of violating the ordinance and fined $600.

City officials say Crook, a former Madison County chancery clerk and ex-Ridgeland aldermen, didn’t post a $10,000 bond required

under the ordinance despite numerous letters and phone calls to him.

A city judge ruled Madison’s ordinance was constitutionally sound and in compliance with state law.

But Crook argues charging landlords a $10,000 bond to rent in a home is a way to keep renters out.

The case is among dozens before the Appeals Court in its September-October term.

Under the ordinance, passed in 2008, landlords must post bonds or other adequate sureties to be in compliance with Madison’s safety codes, according to the city attorney’s office.

Crook has lost appeals in Madison County Court and circuit court.

A circuit judge upheld Crook’s conviction and fine in 2012.

The city argues in court documents that it has a right to adopt ordinances dealing with general public health and safety.

Among other cases before the Appeals Court in September and October: ■ Brian Bradshaw’s appeal of his 2012 murder conviction in Harrison County. Bradshaw was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 2010 death of Benny Ray Johnston. Prosecutors say Johnston was killed at a Gulfport home and his body was found four days later in some woods.

■ Milford Ivey’s postconviction petition for a new trial. Ivey pleaded guilty in Tishomingo County in 2009 to three counts involving sex crimes against minors.

He is serving a 15-year sentence.

Ivey pleaded guilty to two counts of fondling and one count of sexual battery.

MDOC: Work center inmate steals van, escapes officials HATTIESBURG — Authorities say they are on the lookout for a work center inmate who escaped by stealing a Hattiesburg city-owned van from a local park.

WDAM-TV says 26-year-old Micah Lee Bolton of Beaumont is

serving four years for delivery of a controlled substance in George County.

Police say Bolton stole a 2006 white Dodge Caravan with parks and recreation logos on the side.

The van has government tag number G43834. sBolton has multiple tattoos on his chest and shoulder.

He was last seen wearing Mississippi Department of Corrections green and white striped pants and a white MDOC convict shirt.

Officials: Burglars take narcotics from pharmacy WATER VALLEY — Authorities in Water Valley say the burglary of a drug store there may be connected to a string of pharmacy break-ins around Mississippi.

Police Chief Mike King tells WTVA the burglary happened at the Turnage Drug Store in the early morning hours on Thursday.

King says burglars cut the alarm system and pried open doors at the front and rear of the business.

He says an undetermined amount of narcotics was taken.

Investigators say there may be a connection to the theft of a vehicle in nearby Oakland the same night.

Water Valley police are working with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics to investigate the drug store burglary.

Farmers: Sweet potato harvest going well in county PITTSBORO — Farmers in Calhoun County say the sweet potato crop is looking good, though only about 20 percent of the crop has been harvested.

Farmer Preston McGreger tells WCBI he began harvesting just after Labor Day. McGreger farms about 208 acres, and says about 25 percent of his crop is in.

He says a little lateseason rainfall would be a plus to help boost the size of the remaining potatoes.

7A • Daily Corinthian

Sunday, September 15, 2013

The story behind Munch’s Battery About a year ago, September 23rd to be exact, I shared an article, “The Story of the Cannon in Cane Creek.”

I love talking about artillery and this just happened to be one of my favorite tales. It was about the 1st Minnesota Light Artillery and how they had to get rid of a damaged cannon by throwing it in the creek bottom.

We will be remembering the 151st anniversary of the Battle of Corinth in just a few weeks and this year I’ll be leading a car caravan tour to follow the activities of the 1st Minnesota during the fight.

This will be on Thursday, October 3, and I know one or two of you will not be able to attend. Here’s a peek at what you will miss.

The 1st Minnesota Light Artillery was mustered into service at Fort Snelling in late November of ’61. The recruiting officer was 25 year-old William Z. Clayton of Bangor, Maine. He had recently moved to Minnesota to take up farming and now hoped to win a commission as captain of the new unit.

Then, as now, politics played a part and Clayton had to be satisfied with being a sergeant. The job as captain went to Emil Munch, a native of Halberstadt, Prussia. Munch came to the states in 1849 when he was seventeen years old, and by 1860 he was serving in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

The six-gun battery did well in the Hornet’s Nest at Shiloh though both Munch and Clayton were wounded and one of the cannons was seriously damaged. The cannon was patched up pretty quick as was Sgt. Clayton, but Captain Munch’s leg wound kept him sidelined for the next few months.

As September of ’62 came to an end, the battery had been reduced from six guns to four -- a pair of 12-pounder bronze howitzers and two 12-pounder rifles. The command of the unit had passed to Lieutenant Fred Cooke and they were assigned to the Corinth garrison in Brigadier General Thomas McKean’s division.

The Union army was getting a little antsy as the Confederate army under Van Dorn began their march north from Ripley on September 30th.

No one was really sure where they were headed.

Some infantry of the 2nd brigade were sent out to Alexander’s Crossroads

to keep an eye on the road headed to and from Chewalla. (Alexander’s is at the junction of the Wenasoga Road and the Holly Church Road).

I n Parsons s u p port of the infantry brigade was Sgt. Clayton and the two bronze howitzers. William was appointed an acting 2nd Lieutenant, but he wasn’t given time to don the new uniform.

He went into the fight wearing his old sergeants chevrons.

The big fight started the morning of the 3rd and the heavily outnumbered Union troops slowly moved back in the direction of Corinth. It was a fighting withdrawal and every chance he had, Clayton would make the howitzers boom out a warning for the Confederates to keep their distance.

As bad luck would have it, the gun which had been damaged at Shiloh, began to come apart. The repairs had been poor and on the fifth shot the axle broke, rendering it useless. An attempt was made to haul it off but the wooden carriage came to pieces just as they were about to cross the bridge at Cane Creek. A disabling spike was broken off in the vent, and the barrel was rolled off the steep bank to the creek bottom.

Clayton sent a message off to Lt. Cooke who had the other two guns in reserve near Battery F. (Visit the fort at the corner of Davis Dr. and Bitner Rd.).

Cooke started out with one of the rifles to lend a hand.

Meanwhile, Clayton had come to the top of Oliver Hill where a defensive line was being patched together. Pvt. Thomas Christie recalled seeing, “that fiery Scotchman Gen. John McArthur, in his Glengarry cap,” who took command of every unit he could find, even those not in his brigade.

The single howitzer was placed close to the four big 20-pounder Parrot rifles of Battery D, 1st Missouri Light Artillery.

(Remember the story of the cannon known as the “Lady Richardson?”) Pvt. Christie watched an exchange between Clayton and Captain Henry Richardson, the German commander of the battery.

“A drink or two of ‘commissary’ [whisky] had

filled him with ‘Dutch courage.’ He pranced back and forth on his horse shouting; ‘Ver are dose tam rebels? Vere are dey?’”

Clayton responded, “There they are, captain, coming up through that hollow; you had better turn your guns to that direction and give them canister.” Clayton must not have looked impressive with his smoke blackened face and faded sergeant’s stripes. Richardson responded: “Go pack to your gun, sir! I don’t take orders from a tam sergeant!”

Lt. Cooke arrived with the rifled piece and took command of the two Minnesota guns. It was hot work for over an hour.

Thomas Christie was serving as No.1 on the howitzer, meaning he was the guy with the long sponge staff, ramming home each new round of ammunition. At one point he looked up to see his friend Sgt. Joseph Allen, the gunner of the piece, take a wound from an enemy musket.

In no time at all, the rifle developed a mechanical problem and was hauled into town for repairs. Once again the crew of the howitzer was on their own. The fight on the hill was nearly over, however, as the Confederates swarmed up on three sides. The remaining gun was limbered up and hauled away.

Lt. Cooke had the howitzer taken to Battery F where the remaining rifle of the battery was still waiting in reserve. A new defensive line was being patched together and for a time the two guns from Minnesota were keeping the enemy line at bay.

Just as things began to look bad, the reenergized infantry came forward to support the two artillery pieces. Pvt. Christie was thrilled as the 17th Wisconsin, “came to our rescue.” The 17th was marching under their emerald green battle flag adorned with the harp of Erin.

This Irish regiment was led by the massive Col. John Doran and Christie paused long enough to wonder where they found a sword belt long enough to reach around him.

“Make way for the Irishmen!” Doran shouted, as he led his men in McArthur’s stunning counter-attack. As the 17 Wisconsin crossed over the tracks of the Memphis & Charleston, the Gaelic battle cry, “Faugh a Ballagh!” (Clear the way!), was heard ringing across the outskirts of Corinth.

The battle flag of the 1st Minnesota with the battle honors of Shiloh and Corinth prominently displayed.

The 1st Minnesota took up a new position just to the right side of Battery F and the men were delighted to see their own captain, Emil Munch, arrive on the field of battle.

Though he was still a little shaky and far from healed, Munch was asked to help out by the division chief-of-artillery, Capt.

Andrew Hickenlooper.

Munch “cheerfully and anxiously” volunteered, but the request was not for him to return to his own men, but to take over the guns of the 3rd Ohio inside of Battery F. The 3rd Ohio was under the command of an inexperienced sergeant and they sorely needed some adult supervision.

The 1st Minnesota remained under the helm of Lt. Cooke until near nightfall when they were pulled back into the inner defenses of the city. The two guns were placed into the final position of the day on the grounds of the Corona College, alongside their Irish friends of the 17th Wisconsin.

(The college was at the modern junction of Tate and Gaines, behind Abe’s Grill).

As night fell, the damaged rifle was returned for service and Captain Munch returned to his place at the head of his own battery. The only casualty over the course of the long day was Sgt. Allen who would be given a promotion to 2nd Lieu-

Captain Emil Munch tenant, only to die from his Corinth wound the following March.

For the 1st Minnesota the battle was over. They were not called into action on the second day of battle and on the day after, October 5th, they were able to retrieve their abandoned howitzer from the bank of Cane Creek.

Two months later Captain Munch resigned his commission due to his Shiloh wound which wouldn’t heal. Clayton, who had fought the battle in the uniform of a sergeant, was elevated to the rank of captain and led the battery through the remainder of the war.

As for the 1st Minnesota, they stayed with the

Army of the Tennessee through the campaigns of Vicksburg, Atlanta and the March to the Sea. They had seen more than their fair share of action over the years, and never was the action as heavy as what they experienced right here in Corinth.

If you want to join me on October 3rd give us a call at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center to reserve a spot. The number is 662-287-9273.

Keep an eye out for information on the other tours being offered on October 3-5.

Radio station celebrates 7th year in 1967 (The following article from The Vidette, Iuka, dated Sept. 14, 1967, gives us some history of the WVOM Radio Station in Iuka.)

WVOM Radio Will Celebrate 7th Birthday Sunday with Live Country & Gospel Show in Jaybird Park A gala program is in the planning stages for Sunday afternoon, September 17th, 1967, when WVOM Radio Station will commemorate seven years of service to the Tri-State area. The show will be held on the grandstand in Jaybird Park and will get underway at 1:30 p.m. The general public is invited to this spectacular event and all who choose to do so may pick up free tickets at their favorite participating merchant.

Charlie Louvin, famous c o u n try and western singer of RaNae Nashville, Vaughn Tenn., will headline Historically the show.

Speaking Other performers will be the Liberator’s Quartet, Chuck Comer and the Lucky Guys, also of Memphis, the Choate Sisters of Iuka, and other local groups. Master of Ceremonies will be WVOM’s Dave Floyd, with other speakers being E. C. Holtsford, WVOM owner-manager, Iuka’s Mayor George Cutshall, and Circuit Judge N. S. “Soggy” Sweat, Jr. The spectacular show will continue until 4

o’clock with a variety program that is bound to be pleasing to youngsters from 8 to 80. Front Street from the Iuka Guaranty Bank west of McGill’s Grocery will be blocked off to make room for spectators. All are invited to bring their chairs, find a good location, and enjoy the show.

Behind-the-scenes personnel who have been instrumental in planning this spectacular show are the WVOM staff members Joyce Worsham, Jim “Gentleman Jim” Yarbrough, and Harry “Happy Harry” Farrell, plus many others too numerous to mention. The Iuka Rescue Squad will assist in directing traffic and in taking up tickets.

Sunday is WVOM’s 7th birthday and the beginning of another year of

service to Iuka, Tishomingo County, and the Tri-State area. It was seven years ago on Saturday morning, September 7, 1960, at 5 o’clock, that WVOM first signed on the air for regularly scheduled programming.

Participating in that event were Rev. James T. McCafferty, Pastor of the Iuka Methodist Church at that time, and E. C. Holtsford, owner-manager, along with Charles Kay, Buddy Bain, and E. H. Huntley. Since that time, WVOM has been a constant companion in thousands of homes.

As well as entertainment, the station has provided listeners with news, weather reports, coverage of special events, reports on local sports, and hundreds of other services too nu-

merous to call to mind.

Residents of the TriState area have come to depend upon WVOM as a reliable source for important local information.

Make your plans now to attend WVOM’s spectacular show Sunday afternoon. It’s free if you get your tickets from participating merchants.

If you don’t get your ticket, a small charge will be made to enter the area.

Come, help WVOM celebrate and—have a good time.

JACKSON — The way Mississippi Development Authority officials see it, helping to match businesses in the state with foreign markets is as practical as a financial planner advising a client to diversify an investment portfolio.

MDA's efforts include setting up meetings for Mississippi business leaders in foreign countries, organizing trade fairs and overseeing a network of representatives looking after the state's interests in generating trade. “By introducing Mississippi companies to international markets, we hope to help diversify their sales markets,� said William “Skip� Scaggs, head of MDA's Existing Industry and Business Division.

The trade office's educational, marketing and referral services are available to small and medium-sized companies who want to do business overseas.

MDA's goal is to grow existing businesses longterm, create jobs and add an international dimension to the state's economy. “We run the gamut from small offices with one or two people and small manufacturers up to your major employers,� Scaggs said. “If you've got a competitive product that meets a need within the market here in the U.S., chances are that need is also somewhere around the world and we'd like to help them identify how to take advantage of those opportunities.�

The state's trade overview compiled by the Bureau of the Census, shows

that in 2012, Mississippi exports totaled $11.8 billion, a 7.8 percent increase from 2011. The exports were dispersed to 184 foreign destinations and are credited with creating 65,076 direct jobs. “I think it's been very successful when you look at the growth of Mississippi exports. Over the last 15 years we have continued to increase the number of firms exporting as well as the dollar value of what they're shipping,� said Scaggs.

The top export commodities are led by mineral fuel and oil valued at about $4 billion. ATMs are second, valued at a little more than $1 million, followed by dye products at $928,000. Exports of electrical machinery by Peavey Electronics, Viking, Howard Industries, Triton and others rank fourth at $815 million.

The remainder of the list includes electrical machinery, cotton, vehicles, wood pulp, plastic, poultry and paper.

Hartley Peavey, founder of Peavey Electronics in Meridian, describes himself as a “road warrior� when it comes to doing business all over the world.

He's been doing it since 1972. “We sell to 136 countries,� he said. “I've learned a lot of things.�

Peavey, whose company sells some 2,000 products, said there are “huge opportunities out there� but doing business internationally is “a whole different ball game� with rules and obstacles to overcome. But it's worth it in the long run. “The bottom line: 96 percent of the world population lives outside the USA. To ignore that is stupid,� he said.

Mississippi exports in 2012 were $11.8 billion, a 7.8 percent increase over 2011. Mississippi exported to 184 foreign destinations in 2012.

Some of the top export commodities:

Triton) $815 million

— Mineral Fuel/Oil (Ashland, Ergon, Loresco) $3.96 billion

— Woodpulp (GeorgiaPacific) $476 million

— Automatic Data Processing Machines (Triton) $1.1 billion — Tanning/Dye/Paint/ Putty (du Pont) $928 million — Electrical Machinery (Peavey, Viking, Howard, So who's buying Mississippi products abroad?

Panama tops the list at $2.1 billion, followed by Canada at nearly $2 billion and Mexico is third at $1.2 billion. “If you look at the countries that Mississippi exports to, seven of the top 10 markets have free trade agreements with the U.S.,� Scaggs said.

Another factor that put Panama on the top of the list is the expansion of the Panama Canal. “The money that's being spent on that major project, in addition to the free trade agreement, helps drive demand that Mississippi companies are meeting,� Scaggs said.

The next international hot spot that Mississippi businesses could benefit from is Brazil, which is gearing up to host two major events: the World Cup next year and the 2016 Olympics. “So there will be a lot of construction related to hosting major events like that and we are looking at how we can open doors to

— Cotton & Yarn/Fabric (StaplCotn) $708 million — Vehicles/Not Railway (Griffin, Nissan, Toyota) $604 million

— Plastic (Miss. Polymers, Sanderson Plumbing) $302 million — Meat (Poultry) (Sanderson Farms, Tyson) $290 million — Paper/Paperboard (GP, IP, Weyerhauser) $289 million Mississippi companies to participate in that opportunity,� Scaggs said.

Gov. Phil Bryant led a recent trade mission to Brazil to meet with the Olympic Committee, promoting Mississippi products and services. “Hopefully we will be able to strengthen ties around both of those events.� “Despite the lack of a free trade agreement, Brazil still presents a very good market for Mississippi given the size of its population and sophistication of their economy,� said Scaggs. “They've got a budding automotive industry there, one that we think we might be able to tie in to.�

Japanese automakers Nissan and Toyota represent the biggest chunk of employment in Mississippi through foreign investments at 32 percent with 26,000 employees.

Yokohama Tire Corp. will increase that number when it opens its West Point truck tire plant in late 2015.

US retail sales rise slight 0.2 percent in August

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Americans boosted their spending at retail businesses only modestly in

August, indicating that economic growth remains sluggish. Consumers bought more cars, furniture and electronics last month but held back on most other purchases.

Spending at retail businesses rose just 0.2 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the smallest gain in four months. But the government said retail spending was stronger in the previous month than

first estimated, revising the July estimate to 0.4 percent from 0.2 percent Excluding volatile spending on autos, gas and building supplies, sales in August increased just 0.2 percent, or less than half July’s 0.5 percent gain.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian And the winners are ...

Celebrating the Best of the Best, the 2013 Daily Corinthian Reader’s Choice Awards special section will be presented in the Sunday, Sept. 22 newspaper.

Ex-wife throws a wrench in plan to share happy home DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced woman with three children ages 24, 22 and 16. I live on my own with my girls. I have been dating a man, “Reed,” for three years.

We are very much in love and have been working to blend our families. (He has two children.)

We have decided to move in together at the end of October. My lease will be up then, and Reed has sold his condo. We will be moving into the house he shared with the ex-wife while they were married. I’m comfortable with the move, and our kids are very excited about it.

Everything is fine except for one thing: His ex-wife has not yet found a new home to move into. With little time to go, he’s now suggesting that we move in and live with his ex-wife until she finds a new place. Reed believes this will be very short-term -- a month or so.

The house is big enough for all of us, so that’s not an issue.

His ex-wife and I are friendly, so that’s not an issue either. But I’m not comfortable with this plan.

Am I being irrational? Should I just act like a grown-up and make the move, or should I refuse? -- SECOND THOUGHTS IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: You are neither immature nor irrational. You are thinking ahead -- and that is what grown-ups do.

What if Reed’s ex can’t find a place that suits her in a month

or so? What if it takes six months or even a year? While you may like the woman, do you reAbigail ally want to your Van Buren share dwelling with the “Ghost Dear Abby of Marriage Past”?

If I were you, I’d talk to my landlord and ask if you can work out a month-to-month extension of your lease. If that’s agreeable, Reed can move in with you for the “short term.” I’m sure you’d both be happier.

DEAR ABBY: My mother is in her mid-50s. She’s a wonderful woman, but she makes us late for everything. My husband and children, my siblings and I often attend family functions and other events as a group. When we go to pick up Mom, she announces she has “just a few” chores she wants to do first, and they take forever.

We are not “a few” minutes late; we’re significantly late, and sometimes miss events altogether. These have included weddings and funerals, and we have wasted hundreds of dollars on tickets to missed events. She’ll often make a show of apologizing, but her behavior never changes.

We have stopped inviting Mom to some events, but she makes us feel guilty if we don’t take her to a family event. We have tried helping her do her chores the day before and lied about starting times. Nothing works, and Mom finds more to do.

We have asked her friends about this behavior. They say she never pulls these stunts when they pick her up for things. When we talk to Mom about it, she insists she needs to get things done ahead of time. Her house isn’t messy, nor is it known for being overly tidy.

She’s in good mental and physical health. We’re fresh out of ideas on how to deal with this.

Help! -- LATE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE DEAR LATE: It’s interesting that your mother doesn’t behave this way with her friends. That tells me her behavior is controlling -although it’s hard to understand what perverse pleasure she gets out of it.

I would handle it this way: Tell Mama you will pick her up at a certain time and that you will wait no longer than five minutes for her. If she’s not out by then, you will leave. And then do it.

(Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be a better manager, parent and supportive friend when you praise the efforts of others rather than praising their talent.

No one can control what they are born with, only how hard they try.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No matter how amazing your vocal cords may be (and as the sign that rules the throat, they may be very amazing), without air they cannot sing. You’ll celebrate the elements that allow you to do what you do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are perceptive and can gather quite a lot from a person’s aesthetic qualities. However, learning a person’s values takes time.

Go slow. Being too quick to make commitments now would be a mistake.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Instead of explaining or declaring yourself, tell a story. Stories can sometimes take us to a deeper, more fundamental understanding than could be arrived at by

the unvarnished truth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Independence is, for you, a requirement.

As much as you appreciate the opportunities provided to you by someone else’s hard work, you won’t be satisfied until you absolutely strike out on your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Location is everything in business, and today it’s everything in your personal life, too. You’ll go where you are likely to meet interesting people who appreciate the same kinds of things that you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The theme of the day: discovering latent abilities. If you can spot talent and recognize the finer details of what makes something great, this is a sign that you may have a similar talent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You may negotiate an excellent deal, but that doesn’t mean both parties will benefit from the arrangement. Look beyond the deal, and try to project yourself into the future reality of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t allow yourself too much time for making decisions.

If you let it drag on forever, the passion and interest will die out before you ever get to the final answer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

When friends and family fight, everyone suffers. You want to help everyone get along, but there are some things you should just stay out of. Today your involvement may be counterproductive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Kidding is a way of showing you care -- but it’s a risky way. What you think is good-humored attention doesn’t always come across like that. Just to be safe, show your affection more directly today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll find yourself working hard to own a symbol of success. Realize that the symbol itself isn’t the success. But just because it’s not real doesn’t make it less powerful.

Modern Woodmen representative Steven Eaton visits with Taylor and Destiny Tucker accompanied by their father, Dustin Tucker, and a family friend.

Changing trees lure visitors to Arkansas

BY JEANNIE NUSS Associated Press

JASPER, Ark. — Arkansas may be bestknown for Bill Clinton and Wal-Mart. But come autumn, the state gets attention for something else: stunning foliage.

The brilliant yellow and red leaves of hickory, oak and sweet gum trees lure thousands of visitors to this part of the world every fall, and this year is expected to be no exception.

Peak foliage typically hits the northern half of the state in late October, though forestry and tourism officials caution that the time frame could change.

“It’s like predicting the

“(Predicting peak foliage is) like predicting the weather. It’s not a sure thing.”

Tamara Walkingstick Associate director, Arkansas Forest Resources Center weather,” said Tamara Walkingstick, associate director of the Arkansas Forest Resources Center.

“It’s not a sure thing,” The state will start posting fall foliage updates later this month.

But regardless of the exact timing, there are plenty of curvy, two-lane highways that stretch into the Ozark Mountains and offer striking views of the fall colors.

crossroads wedding planner Daily Corinthian

The Best Local Wedding Resources: “local experts for planning your perfect day”

State Highway 7, known as the Scenic 7 Byway, is among the prettiest.

The roadway spans the state from north to south.

Leaf-peepers seeking out primo foliage would do well to hop on Scenic 7 at Russellville, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock, and head north about 85 miles toward Harrison.

It’s a colorful drive across Arkansas — which is nicknamed the Natural State — and not just because of the leaves.

Cows graze in fields.

Country cemeteries boast names like “God’s Little Half Acre.”

Signs advertising trading posts at Chigger Hollow and Booger Hollow play to outsiders’ fascination with the hillbilly culture tied to this region.

It’s the kind of drive best experienced with the windows down, and because it’s in the South, it’s usually not too cold to do just that in the fall.

It’s worth stopping off at one of the old-timey general stores that fleck the side of the highway.

Hankins Country Store, about 35 miles north of Russellville on Scenic 7,

is a good choice if you’re jonesing for a cream soda or some farm-fresh eggs, or if you just want to see a sign advertising cold drinks, snacks, camping supplies and ammo.

Signs along the drive point to scenic overlooks with vistas of valleys awash in trees. The views seem to get better the farther north you drive, with the best just south of a quaint community called Jasper.

A word of warning as you descend into Jasper: When the street signs say crooked and steep, they’re not kidding.

So once you recover from the plummet into town, reward yourself with a homemade chocolate cheesecake muffin at the Blue Mountain Bakery and Deli.

Walk around the town square, or take your baked goodies to go and have a picnic along the river about 5 miles north in Pruitt.

Once you cross the river at Pruitt, take a moment to look back and marvel at the contrast of the green bones of the bridge and the orange and red leaves that blanket the hillside.

Continue north to Harrison.

If you’re traveling back to Little Rock, head south on U.S. Route 65 toward Interstate 40.

Bask in some more of the Natural State’s fall colors, and watch out for elk along the way.

Choir to voice words of Birmingham’s ‘unsung’

BY ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer

Seeking inspiration for a musical commission to mark the 50th anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, composer Yotam Haber turned to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute’s Oral History Project. Combing through the files in the Alabama city, he came across a 1998 interview with Henrietta Tripp.

He was struck by the former hairdresser’s description of hearing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. speak at the church in the spring of 1963, several months before the horrible blast.

“That was hallelujah time,” she told the interviewer. “And he was talking about Birmingham being one of the hardest cities to crack. It was the hardest city to crack.”

When a chorus of 100 voices performs Haber’s piece later this month, Tripp’s words will soar along with those of King and others — famous and

unsung — who fought to defeat Jim Crow.

“My little words? My little part is so minute in comparison to these great people,” the 77-year-old retired clerk, who became one of the first AfricanAmericans hired by the city police department, said recently. How, she wonders, are “my words going to fit in?”

Perfectly, says Haber.

Rather than focus in a literal way on the Sept.

15, 1963, Ku Klux Klan bombing that killed four black girls during Sunday services, the Dutch-born composer sought to evoke Birmingham’s role in the larger struggle.

“I’m not telling Birmingham her own story,” says Haber, whose work the Alabama Symphony will premiere on Sept. 21.

“She knows it far better than I will ever be able to tell it.”

The composition is titled “A More Convenient Season,” a phrase borrowed from King’s famous “Letter From a Birmingham Jail.”

Cryptoquip

Arrested in April 1963 on a charge of parading without a permit, King drafted the open letter to fellow clergy who had condemned his activities as “unwise and untimely.”

King declared that, more dangerous than a Klansman was the white moderate who “paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who ... constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’”

Haber’s piece — which he says “falls somewhere between an oratorio and an opera” — is divided into three movements.

Before the choir gets to King’s letter, the audience will hear the words and, through archival recordings, voices of ordinary foot soldiers whose names are likely unknown to them.

Names like Pamela Walbert Montanaro.

••• “One of the things they taught you/ You can’t eat in the same place/ You can’t go to the same

place,” says the libretto, quoting Montanaro, who was 15 in 1960, when the civil rights movement reached “Bombingham.”

Among her mother’s closest friends were Deenie Drew, at whose home King stayed while in town, and Willa Adams, who worked to integrate the schools and get rid of racist textbooks.

But Pamela Walbert, as a white teenager, never interacted with AfricanAmericans her own age.

She had been reading about sit-ins in other Southern cities, and when she learned that the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth had helped organize a local campaign, she wrote him a letter, expressing admiration.

It wasn’t long before she received a phone call.

It was a “Negro girl,” and she was inviting Walbert to gather with sit-in participants at Shuttlesworth’s Bethel Baptist Church.

Walbert and three friends sat in a circle of chairs. It was warm, and there weren’t enough drinks to go around.

Someone opened a can of soda, and Walbert watched as it passed from black hand to white, each person taking a sip — taboo in a rigidly segregated society where there were separate drinking fountains for white and “colored.”

When the can reached her, she drank without pause. It was a religious experience.

“I felt flooded with the holy spirit,” she said during a recent telephone interview from her home in Berkeley, Calif. “And I thought, ‘This is what holy communion is supposed to feel like.’”

Later, when an Episcopal clergyman explained “why he couldn’t get involved in the movement,” the Walbert family left the church.

“And so our family was essentially born again in the civil rights movement,” says Montanaro, whose parents subsequently became close with the parents of bombing victim Denise McNair.

Montanaro moved away in 1964, married and raised a family. But her experiences growing up in Birmingham launched her on a lifelong search for social justice.

••• “How high is height?/ How far is distance?/ How many stars in the sky?”

These “rather innocuous sounding questions” that Haber quotes in his second movement were typical of those posed to black residents who tried to register to vote during Jim Crow.

Henrietta Tripp remembers them well.

“It worked your patience,” she said, recalling how she prayed “to keep from saying the wrong thing. Because you were never addressed like a person.”

Tripp was walking to a service at her church, Zion Hill Missionary Baptist, when the 16th Street Baptist bombing occurred.

“Why so much so hatred?” she thought to herself. “Why so much anger?”

She wanted to lash out.

But her father was a minister, and he, like King, preached against retaliation. And so she put that out of her mind.

“I just used to cry myself to sleep, and why?

When you are so helpless, there’s nothing you can do. I mean, who could you hit?”

She got a day job at a beauty shop and studied typing by night. In August 1965, she landed a job as clerk-typist with the police department that only two years earlier, under Theophilus Eugene “Bull” Connor, had turned fire hoses and dogs on black protesters.

The captain who hired Tripp was “a wonderful person,” but her white female co-workers were far from welcoming. When someone from the Birmingham News interviewed Tripp about breaking the color barrier, that just made things worse.

“They harassed me about that. ‘You must think you’re a celebrity,’” she recalls.

She later worked for the Jefferson County Board of Education. Following her retirement, Tripp, who is ordained, started a youth drug ministry “the Lord gave me.”

When she learned that her testimony would appear alongside that of Shuttlesworth and King, she could not “find the words in my vocabulary to say” what an honor it

was.

“God,” she says, “He works in mysterious ways.”

••• “We shall overcome.”

The piece’s final movement begins with a recording Haber found in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution of folk singer Pete Seeger leading a chorus of the civil rights anthem.

Haber took a 25-second snippet of that and stretched it out digitally, so that just the word “we” takes almost a minute to play out.

“You hear every frailty and strength of the voice,” says Haber, 36, who grew up in Israel, Nigeria, and Milwaukee. “To me, it’s like waves in the ocean — like each word that the choir sings is like an almost infinite ocean of sound.”

The entire work runs about 75 minutes, with no intermission. The words “bomb” and “16th Street Baptist” do not appear in the libretto.

“For this piece to resonate out with others, there needs to be a larger message here,” says Haber, whose family’s losses during the Nazi Holocaust informed this work. “And the message is that we cannot sit idly by when we see injustice.

We need to act.”

Many of those whose voices will echo through the concert hall have passed — including King, Shuttlesworth and Colonel Stone Johnson, who once carried a bucket containing 16 sticks of dynamite away from Shuttlesworth’s church before it could explode.

Montanaro plans to attend the performance with her 92-year-old mother, who still lives in Birmingham. She hopes she will be able to sit through it “without completely dissolving into tears.

Although she cites continuing setbacks to true equality, she says what she witnessed as a youth in Alabama prevents her becoming a complete cynic.

“Because I SAW people do it,” she says. “I saw people rise up against something that looked like it could never change — and changed it in a very short period of time through the power of love.”

‘Today’ show plans to reboot with Daly, studio revamp

BY DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — NBC is seeking to reboot the “Today” show by adding Carson Daly, unveiling a new studio set that resembles a “hipster New York City apartment” and a sharper focus gleaned from studies of what viewers and lapsed viewers say they want.

The new look will debut next Monday, and NBC executives offered a studio tour Thursday.

But the real work is in the content, and new NBC News President Deborah Turness — just five weeks into her job — has made a “Today” reboot a top priority.

Daly will be stationed in the studio’s new “Orange Room,” where he will provide continual updates on how the show’s stories are trending online and what kind of feedback viewers are offering through social media.

The set’s new anchor desk will be on a revolving platform that lets “Today” personalities look out over fans peering in through the street-side window. Al Roker has a new 82-inch touch-screen weather display to play with, there’s a new orange couch and all manner of

high-def screens and energy-friendly lights.

“We think it’s an incredibly warm and inviting place,” Turness said. “We feel like it’s somebody’s home — our home.”

The well-publicized problems at “Today” are part of the reason Turness was brought from England for the job. The once-dominant morning show had its 852-week winning streak — that’s 17 years — broken by ABC’s “Good Morning America” last year. “GMA” now has a streak of its own, winning last week for the 55th week in a row. The “Today” daily audience of 4.57 million last week was 743,000 behind ABC, the Nielsen company said.

Despite the change in fortunes, NBC says its studies have shown that only 10 percent of “Today” viewers who have abandoned the show over the past few years have turned to “Good Morning America” instead.

“Today” is devoting itself to a mission statement that involves substance, making connections with viewers and offering people who watch something uplifting, Turness said.

She pointed to stories in recent weeks involving Bradley Manning’s

sex change, interrogation footage of Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro and Matt Lauer’s interviews with Paula Deen and Alex Rodriguez’s lawyer.

“We are a news show,” Turness said. “I’ll say it again. We are a news show.”

At the same time, she said the show’s promise is that “even in the darkness, we will seek the light.” She mentioned how Lauer was on the scene when the spire of the One World Trade Center tower was put into place.

Besides the studio, some of the other changes are cosmetic, and reference back to the show’s history. With a sunrise in its logo, NBC stations across the country are putting cameras on the roof to catch video of the sun rising and “Today” is asking viewers to send in their own sunrise pictures to show on the air.

Lauer said that the mission statement and tightening of the show’s focus is appreciated. “We were occupying too wide a space for a while,” he said.

The show is using relevance as a standard for the stories it puts on the air, “and that’s much different from ‘buzzy,’” he said.

Cards extend rivalry streak

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

ADAMSVILLE, Tenn. — The Adamsville Cardinals extended their winning streak to five straight over county rival McNairy Central with a 26-14 win Friday night in a non-district contest played before a large crowd.

Adamsville’s Zak Neary ran for a pair of touchdowns and Jacob Wallis caught a pair of scoring receptions from Seth Paul to help the Cardinals to the victory.

The Red Rage (3-1) defense shut down the Bobcats (1-2) in the second half allowing only two first downs which prevented the visitors from mounting a comeback.

Adamsville scored on their first possession of the game when Neary scampered in from 26 yards with 6:53 left in the first quarter. Dillon Plunk added the PAT to give AHS a 7-0 lead.

While the Red Rage fans were still celebrating the game’s first touchdown, McNairy’s Tata Newsome returned the ensuing kickoff 65 yards to paydirt. Juan Miranda’s kick tied the game at 7-7.

The Cardinals regained control by covering 65-yards in seven plays with Neary reaching the end zone on a 4-yard run with 3:27 remaining in an exciting first quarter.

AHS padded their lead to 19-7 when Paul connected with Wallis for a 68yard touchdown pass with 4:00 left in the first half.

McNairy responded with a late scoring drive to cover 46-yards in five plays to score on a 6-yard pass from Isaac Cagle to Jarrett Mood with 23 seconds remaining before halftime. Miranda’s

Fins up, Horns down Scott, No. 25 Rebels pull away from Texas in second half The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — Jeff Scott ran for 164 yards and a touchdown and also scored on a 73yard punt return, helping No. 25 Mississippi roll over reeling Texas 44-23 on Saturday night.

Bo Wallace passed for two touchdowns and ran for another for the Rebels (3-0), who led 14-0 midway through the first quarter before Texas scored 23 straight points.

The Rebels rallied when Andrew Ritter kicked a 52-

yard field goal on the last play of the first half and Wallace directed consecutive touchdown drives in the third quarter. Scott eluded six tacklers on a weaving, cross-field touchdown return that put the Rebels ahead 37-23 late in the third.

Texas, which gave up 550 yards rushing a week earlier in a loss to BYU, surrendered 274 on the ground to Ole Miss.

Case McCoy started at quarterback for Texas (1-2)

in place of injured David Ash and passed for 196 yards and one touchdown.

For Mississippi, a road win at a historical powerhouse such as Texas will be another confidence boost under second-year coach Hugh Freeze.

The Rebels are ranked for the first time since 2009, are 3-0 for the first time since 1989 and have a week off before playing at No. 1 Alabama.

Auburn ends SEC skid in closing seconds The Associated Press

AUBURN, Ala. — Nick Marshall hit C.J. Uzomah for an 11-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left to lift Auburn to a 24-20 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday night, ending the Tigers’ 10-game Southeastern Conference losing streak.

Marshall led the Tigers (3-0, 1-0 SEC) down the field with big running and passing plays in easily his best game.

The junior-college transfer

completed his first five passes for 55 yards in leading Auburn 88 yards over the final 1:56.

He then ran 11 yards on 3rdand-10 before lofting the decisive throw to the right corner of the end zone.

The play was reviewed and instant replay officials ruled that the 6-foot-4 tight end, Uzomah, was pushed out of bounds, enabling him to come back.

Subbing for an injured Tyler Russell for a second straight

game, quarterback Dak Prescott ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 213 for Mississippi State (1-2, 0-1). Russell sustained a concussion in the opener against Oklahoma State.

With the game on the line, Marshall suddenly looked like anything but a guy who’s had six weeks to learn an offense.

He hit freshman Marcus Davis on three straight passes to cover 29 yards, then had a 17-yarder to Jaylon Denson.

He also salvaged short gains with a couple of runs before heading out of bounds.

Tre Mason’s 3-yard run pushed it to the 11 before Auburn called timeout with 15 seconds left.

Marshall was 23-of-34 passing for 339 yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted twice. He passed for just 246 yards and two TDs in his first two games as starter Please see BULLDOGS | 13A

Akron falls short Arkansas sends Southern Miss to 15th straight loss of major upset The Associated Press

The Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Akron almost pulled off an upset for the ages.

Fitzgerald Toussaint scored a goahead, 2-yard touchdown with 2:49 left and No. 11 Michigan made a desperately needed stop on the final play to hold on for a 28-24 victory over the Zips on Saturday.

On the third straight snap inside the Wolverines 5, Kyle Pohl was hurried and hit by Brennen Beyer and that led to an incomplete pass in the end zone as time expired.

“I just needed a half-second more to make that throw,” Pohl said.

Pohl also needed to find a teammate in the end zone — not safety Jarrod Wilson — on an interception early in the fourth quarter from the Michigan 2. It would have also helped if Robert Stein made two long field goals late in the first half that would have put the Zips ahead.

The Wolverines (3-0) trailed twice in the second half — including with 4:10 left when Pohl threw a 1-yard TD — and allowed the Zips (1-2) to get to the Michigan 4 on the final drive of the game.

Akron has lost 28 straight road games.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Southern Mississippi’s turnovers problems showed no signs of letting up at Arkansas.

The Golden Eagles, who entered the week last in the country with 10 turnovers through two games, committed two more on Saturday — resulting in a 24-3 loss to the Razorbacks.

The loss was the 15th

straight for Southern Mississippi (0-3), the longest losing streak in the country. The Golden Eagles were 0-12 last season under former coach Ellis Johnson, and they’ve now lost three straight under first-year coach Todd Monken.

“Some things I think are encouraging, but at the end of the day there are no moral victories,” Monken said. “...

We still turned it over too

many times.”

Quarterback Allan Bridgford threw two interceptions against an Arkansas (3-0) team struggling to move the ball offensively after a firstquarter injury to starting quarterback Brandon Allen.

Bridgford has now thrown seven interceptions this season, and he finished 17-of-33 passing for 133 yards.

The senior was under pressure throughout the game

from a Razorbacks defense that finished with three sacks, all by senior defensive end Chris Smith. Jalen Richard led Southern Mississippi with 94 yards rushing on 14 carries.

“I think it played out like I thought it would,” Monken said. “Sometimes that doesn’t work out. I thought they had a good football team.

Mariota tosses 4 TDs, Oregon dominates Tennessee The Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. — Marcus Mariota threw for a careerhigh 456 yards and four touchdowns and No. 2 Oregon handed Tennessee its first loss of the season, 59-14 on Saturday.

Freshman Johnny Mundt, who replaced ailing tight end Colt Lyerla, had five catches for 121 yards and two TDs for the

Ducks (3-0). Josh Huff added six catches for 125 yards and a score.

Mariota, who completed 23 of 33 passes, was the first Oregon quarterback to throw for more than 400 yards in a game since Kellen Clemens in 2005.

The sophomore quarterback's yardage ties for the third-most in a game in school history.

Oregon's sloppy play at the

start — four penalties for 35 yards in the first quarter — helped Tennessee (2-1) take an early lead, but it was fleeting and the Ducks led 38-7 at halftime.

Justin Worley completed 13 of 25 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown for the Volunteers, who opened the season with easy home wins over Austin Peay and Western Kentucky.

But Tennessee could not keep up with the speedy Ducks, who had 687 yards in total offense compared to 316 for the Vols.

Oregon was the first of a tough stretch for the Volunteers and first-year coach Butch Jones: No. 18 Florida, No. 9 Georgia, No. 13 South Carolina and No. 1 Alabama are among Tennessee's next five opponents.

week ago at BYU led Brown to fire defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.

Brown brought back Greg Robinson, the Longhorns’ defensive coordinator in 2004. Texas was more aggressive against the Rebels, but still gave up big yards rushing and surrendered a halftime lead when it looked as if the Longhorns were firmly in control. The offense stumbled as well, gaining just 100 yards in the second half.

And Mississippi is just the latest visiting team to wallop Texas on its home turf. The Longhorns are 11-10 at home since 2010, including seven consecutive losses to ranked opponents.

The Rebels scored on their first two drives for a quick 14-0 lead. Wallace and Scott carved up the Longhorns on the read option and Scott scored on a 5-yard run before Wallace connected with Donte Moncrief on an 18yard touchdown pass.

At one point in the first half, a prerecorded message from Brown on the scoreboard video screen was greeted with audible boos from the crowd of 101,474, the third-largest in school history.

Texas fought back with 23 straight points. The defense recovered a Wallace fumble, knocked down a fourthdown pass and McCoy started connecting on short passes. After Mike Davis scored Texas’ first touchdown on a 13-yard reception, Jonathan Gray ran 8 yards for a touchdown that gave Texas a 17-14 lead.

The Rebels retook the lead on two impressive drives in the third. Ole Miss returned to the dominant running game it had early and Wallace scored on a 15-yard run when he spun through two defenders at the goal line.

After a Texas punt, Wallace found Evan Engram for a 17-yard scoring pass.

Scott’s punt return was the dagger.

He eluded two defenders immediately after the catch, moved to his left and had a wall of blockers to the end zone for a touchdown and a 37-23 at the end of the third quarter.

Marshall showed a knack for turning potential miscues into big plays. He dropped the shotgun snap, collected it on the bounce and hit a wide-open Quan Bray downfield for a 76-yard touchdown on the opening drive. Ryan White then hit Brandon Fulse for the two-point conversion.

In the third quarter, Marshall caught his own batted pass and raced for a 37yard gain. The Bulldogs forced the Tigers to settle for Cody Parkey’s 47-yard field goal after Jamerson Love tackled Corey Grant for a loss.

Parkey also had a 40-yarder and 19-yarder.

The Bulldogs were able to keep in check Auburn tailbacks Corey Grant, Tre Mason and Cameron Artis-Payne, who had been the strength of the offense.

Prescott completed 15 of 28 passes and carried 22 times. LaDarius Perkins gained 36 yards after he was one of seven starters held out of a route of FCS team Alcorn State.

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen gambled on fourth-and-2 from his own 29 late, and Prescott delivered with a 3-yard gain. That enabled the Bulldogs to burn off another two minutes before punting, though they couldn’t get another first down.

ALABAMA CONTINUED FROM 12A

spond this time, ripping off the next 35 points. McCarron tossed three touchdowns in the first half to put Alabama up 28-14. Sunseri’s pick-6 made it 35-14 less than three minutes into the third.

Manziel was his spectacular self, throwing for a careerbest 464 yards and five TDs. But a first-half interception in the end zone swung the game the Tide’s way, and his thirdquarter pick and whiff on the tackle put the Aggies in a deep hole.

Alabama’s best defense was its offense. The Tide gained 568 yards and kept Manziel on the bench with a couple of long drives.

The rematch was hyped for months, heightened by offseason drama over Manziel that culminated with the sophomore getting suspended for half of the opening game after an NCAA investigation into whether he was paid for signing autographs.

Bama-A&M lived up to the billing. But this SEC heavyweight matchup was no 9-6 Game of the Century. The offenses were all but unstoppable.

A&M’s defense was leaky in its first two games against far weaker opponents. Against Alabama, even with the return of four key players from various suspensions, it put up little resistance. And while the Tide’s offense wore out the

Aggies, its defense struck a big blow.

Manziel threw deep down the middle to Malcome Kennedy, but Jarrick Williams had tight coverage for Alabama and tipped the pass into the air. Sunseri came down with it and was off in the other direction, stutter-stepping as Manziel slid on by while trying for a one-arm takedown. The safety broke another tackle on the way into the end zone and Alabama was up 35-14.

Alabama was poised to go up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter when Texas A&M’s defense slammed into T.J. Yeldon a couple of yards from the goal line, causing a fumble the Aggies recovered at the 5.

Two plays later, Manziel found Mike Evans deep. The big receiver broke away from a tackler and went 95 yards for a score that made it 42-35 with 8:04 left. Manziel sprinted out of his end zone toward the other to celebrate. The crowd was alive again.

Evans finished with 279 yards on seven catches.

In need of a time-consuming drive, leaned on Yeldon and McCarron. On thirdand-goal from the 5, McCarron faked the hand off, rolled right and flipped to Jalston Fowler for the touchdown to make it 49-35 with 2:28 left.

Manziel threw one more TD with 15 seconds left, but Alabama grabbed the onside kick and that was that.

by) to handle that second half any better,” Bielema said. “I thought our coaches did a nice job at halftime of getting some plays they felt comfortable with him.”

Without Allen, Arkansas had just 69 yards passing in the win — more than enough thanks to the continued rushing dominance of Collins and Williams, who entered the game first and third, respectively, in the Southeastern Conference in rushing.

Williams had 116 yards rushing on 16 carries, while Collins had 115 on 25 attempts for the Razorbacks.

The Florida native became the first freshman in SEC history to top the 100-yard mark in his first three games, the first player overall since Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson in 2004.

“I’m honored about that, and I appreciate it,” Collins said. “But for my offensive line, I’ve got to give credit to them first. “... I just appreciate every-

thing that everyone has been doing for me.”

Arkansas trailed in the fourth quarter last week against Samford before rallying for a 31-21 win. The Razorbacks never trailed on Saturday, but they had plenty to overcome without Allen.

The sophomore, who won the starting job in the spring, threw his first interception of the season in the first quarter.

However, he responded on Arkansas’ next drive, scrambling for a 5-yard touchdown run on third and goal to put the Razorbacks up 7-0.

It was on that play,

while diving into the end zone, that Allen injured his right shoulder.

With Allen out, Arkansas struggled initially with Derby, who spent last season in junior college after transferring from Iowa. The Razorbacks ran the ball four straight times on Derby’s first drive, which ended on a punt.

Despite the opening, Southern Mississippi was unable to capitalize.

Derby finished 4-of-6 passing for 36 yards in an ultraconservative effort without Allen, who was 2 of 5 for 33 yards before his injury.

ARKANSAS CONTINUED FROM 12A

“I still believe we have a good football team.”

Allen injured his shoulder on a first-quarter touchdown run. He didn’t return following the play, but the Razorbacks didn’t need him.

Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams made sure of that, combining to rush for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Razorbacks.

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said after the game that Allen, who took over as the starter this season for Tyler Wilson, bruised his right shoulder while diving on his 5-yard touchdown run.

The sophomore was replaced by AJ Derby and spent the second half on the Razorbacks sideline, wearing street clothes and with his upper arm tightly held against his body in a sling, but Bielema said Allen is “pretty convinced” he’ll play next week at Rutgers.

“We couldn’t ask for (Der-

Alcorn County Fair calls in top ducks Friday, September 20

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Duck season is still over two months away.

That hasn’t stopped the Alcorn County Fair and Crossroads Arena from using their calls to pull in a pair of popular members of the first family when it comes to the duck business.

A&E “Duck Dynasty” stars Willie Robertson and his son John Luke are the featured entertainment during “Kids and Family Day” on Saturday.

The appearance is being co-hosted by the Arena and Fair.

“The experience is going to be unique and fun for our fans,” said Arena General Manager Tammy Genovese. “It’s going to be something special for the Arena and Fair.”

“Their appearance is being highly anticipated by many fans here and in the surrounding areas,” added fair committee chairman Chris Porterfield.

A&E’s most-watched series features the West Monroe, La., family living the American dream while operating a thriving business and remaining true to their family values.

Known for their long beards and camo-wearing attire, the Robertson men – Phil, Willie, Jase, Jep and good ole uncle Si – find themselves in comical situations each Wednesday night on A&E. Duck Commander was started by Phil Robertson in 1973. Willie, the third son of Phil and Kay Robertson, is the CEO of the business.

Willie often finds it hard to run the business with most of the employees being members of the family. The show depicts the family staying true to outdoorsman lifestyle and southern roots each week while being part of a multi-million dollar empire.

Last year’s Season 3 finale was the highestrated telecast in A&E history as 9.6 million viewers watched the show.

Season 4 premiered

• Livestock Registration, noon-7 p.m.

• Crescent City Carnival, 5-11 p.m.

• Petting Zoo, 5-9 p.m.

• Magnolia Car Show, 5-9 p.m.

• Pony rides, 5-9 p.m.

• Arts & Quilts exhibits, 5-9 p.m.

• Canned goods display, 5-9 p.m.

• Baked goods display, 5-9 p.m.

• Vendor booths, 5-9 p.m.

• Mid-South Talent Show, 6-8 p.m.

Two winners will selected to move onto the MidSouth Fair competition.

• Cattle Showmanship Clinic, 6-7 p.m.

• Rodeo, 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Admission is $5.

A&E “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson and his son, John Luke, will be appearing at the Alcorn County Fair.

Aug. 14 with the eldest son, Alan Robertson, joining the cast. The one-hour premiere drew a whopping 11.8 million viewers to rank as the number one nonfiction series telecast in cable history.

Ticket prices for the 5 p.m. event on Sept. 21 are $78 for the first five rows, $53 for the next five rows, $33 for remaining floor seats and $23 for riser seating. All seats are reserved and include a service charge. Tickets purchased online are an additional $1.50 per ticket.

Crescent City Amusements is back again to provide a carnival all five days.

Also back this year is the Excel by 5 Health Screening sponsored

by Magnolia Regional Health Center.

“The focus is 0-5-yearolds, but we are letting kids up to age 18 come through,” said MRHC’s Penny McDonald.

Children will receive free age-appropriate health screenings, in-

cluding vision, physical growth, hearing, speech and language tests.

“Last year, 160-170 kids came through and I think over half of them were between the age of 0-5 years old,” added McDonald.

Pickin’ on the Square is slated to take a break from playing at the Alcorn County Courthouse on Thursday.

Pickin’ at the Fair, sponsored by Office Pro, will be headlined by Breaking Grass at the 5:30-10 p.m. show.

The fair schedule includes:

Tuesday, September 17 • Canned goods registration, 9 a.m.-noon • Art contest winners posted, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

• Quilt judging, 10 a.m.noon • Canned goods judging, 2-4 p.m.

Cheer, dance, tumbling squads to unveil routines at cheer-off

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Crossroads Arena is about to get loud.

The multi-purpose facility will be filled with a thunderous roar as area cheer, dance and tumble squads take over the building as part of the Alcorn County Fair’s Cheeroff on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Sponsored by The Dinner Bell and CB&S Bank, the event is set to feature teams such as Alcorn Central High School, Alcorn Central Junior High, Corinth High School, Corinth Junior High, Kossuth High School, Kossuth Middle School, Pickwick Southside Junior High, Adamsville High School and Tishomingo County High School. Kossuth

Tumble and Cheer is putting together four teams and Shining Star Gymnastics will also be taking part. In all 15 squads are slated to show off their routines during Tuesday’s opening night of the fair.

“We are expecting a ton of kids and parents for the cheer-off,” said committee member Sandy Mitchell.

Fair organizers will be giving away a ticket to one member of each team for the “Duck Dynasty Show” on Saturday. Each winner will be determined through a drawing.

Corinth Taekwondo is set to get the night going with a demonstration around 6:30 p.m.

A coloring contest, sponsored by Alcorn

County Soil & Water, will be held from 6-9 p.m.

Eight winners from the three different age divisions will be awarded a $30 Malco gift card.

“The contest gives us something for every age group,” added Mitchell.

During the cheer-off, several prizes will be drawn for and T-shirts thrown to the crowd.

“The cheer-off is always a lot of fun for the whole family,” said fair committee member Danny Joe Turner.

Last year, close to 1,500 turned out for the opening night event.

“This isn’t a competition,” added Turner. “It’s a chance for the squads to show everyone their routine.”

Lawn mower pullers return for another year

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The grounds of the Crossroads Arena will be filled with lawn mowers on Saturday.

None built for mowing.

Pullers from three states are expected to arrive during the lawn mower pull at the Alcorn County Fair.

“We have guys coming from all over,” said organizer Larry Nelms. “The interest has really grown since last year.”

Nelms, part of the County Line Pullers, plans on entering four pullers at the fair. He has already sold 20 pulling tractors since the fair debuted a year ago.

“I am selling them as fast I can build them,” said the the owner of Herbie’s Pulling Team.

Pulling is set for 1-4:30 p.m. Saturday.

Tractor pulling competitions are decided not by how fast the vehicle is going, but rather who drags a mechanical weight transfer machine or sled the farthest.

It isn’t a race. It’s a pulling event.

According to Nelms, competitors take old Cub Cadets or John Deere 10-12 horsepower riding mowers -- usually from the early 1960s or 70s --

Demonstration aims to bring more attention to benefits of goat milk

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Mandie Wilbanks is wanting to get the word out.

She will get her chance at the 3rd Alcorn County Fair.

Wilbanks and husband, Josh, raise purebred Nubian goats on their farm.

The couple’s three children also play a part in raising the animals.

The mother of three wants the public to show how wonderful goat milk is. She first brought attention to the milk during a goat milking demonstration at last year’s fair.

The demo is slated for 3-7 p.m. on Saturday with the family bringing a pair of goats to show off.

“It was wonderful and I am thrilled to get to come back,” said the employee at Rickman’s Meat Market. “Kids got chance to play with the baby goat and also try some of the milk.”

Wilbanks started using goat milk after her son, Nate, was having trouble eating at two years-old.

She bought two young dairy goats and quickly

In fact, 65 percent of milk consumption worldwide is from goats. It has been determined that goat milk is less allergenic. Study of infants shows that those allergic to cow milk could drink goat milk with virtually no side

effects.

“Goat milk is really good for people, especially, those who have stomach problems,” added Rickman.

Goat milk is also naturally homogenized and is easier to digest. It rarely causes lactose intolerance and matches up to the human body better, according to studies.

Fair contest slated to crown hairy winner “They pulled me out of the crowd to enter (the contest).

If I had worn a camouflage hat that day, I could have passed for Si.”

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Michael Gilmore has the beard for the part.

The 51-year-old mechanic with Gilmore Automotive has often been mistaken for one of the Robertson men of the popular “Duck Dynasty” reality show on A&E. “Everywhere I go, I have kids come up and think I am Si (Robertson),” said Gilmore.

Gilmore’s likeness of the bearded Robertsons, along with the prompting of numerous friends, caused the avid 4-H supporter to enter the Modern Woodmen of America Best Beard Contest on Sept. 21.

The contest, part of the 3rd Alcorn County Fair, is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena.

Three winners will appear on stage as part of the appearance of A&E “Duck Dynasty” stars Willie Robertson and son John Luke.

Duck Commander was started by Phil Robertson in 1973. Willie, the third son of Phil and Kay

Robertson, is the CEO of the business. Willie often has his hands full dealing with the shenanigans of bearded brothers, Jase

and Jep and good ole uncle Si while they make duck calls.

Gilmore, whose beard is over 10 inches long,

had worn his beard long before the popular series began airing in March of 2012.

“I had a beard when it

wasn’t cool,” he said with a smile. “The last time I completely shaved it off was in 1993.”

While attending a festival in Philadelphia earlier this year, the mechanic was coaxed into entering a Si look-alike contest.

“They pulled me out of the crowd to enter,” he said. “If I had worn a camouflage hat that day, I could have passed for Si.” When Gilmore now goes out in public, people want to know if he is the zany uncle with stories from Vietnam on “Duck Dynasty.”

“Kids come up to me all the time,” said Gilmore.

“The easiest thing to do is just agree and wave.”

Cattle show draws youngsters

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Some of the best cattle around the area will be on display during the Alcorn County Fair and Junior Livestock Show.

The annual show gets started Saturday at the barn of the Crossroads Arena.

“Things are looking good,” said livestock committee chairman Patrick Poindexter. “We are looking at surpassing the 100 entry mark.”

Work to get the barn ready started Wednesday as students in the horticulture and shop classes of the Alcorn Career and Technology Center began setting up show rings and tying out panels for the 9 a.m.-2 p.m. event.

“The show is a tremendous opportunity for kids to show their cattle,” said Poindexter.

“By taking part, they learn responsibility and how to see through a project.”

According to Poindexter, cattle will be judged on such things as appear-

the cheer-off, individuals can donate food at the main entrance of the Crossroads Arena.

“It all goes back to our goal of giving back to the community,” said fair committee chairman Chris Porterfield.

Following last year’s fair, Porterfield made four donations on behalf of the fair committee. Donations totaling $5,000 were made to Corinth/Alcorn County

Excel By 5 ($3,000), Department of Human Services ($1,500), Magnolia Car Club ($250) and TriState Flywheels Antique Tractor Club ($250) during a luncheon in the spring.

“Our focus remains helping children in Alcorn County,” said the committee chairman.

“Hopefully, people will consider the food drive when they come to the fair.”

The junior show is open to all youngsters ages 8-18 who are members of 4-H or FFA. “We have folks as far away as Attala County and a few from Tennessee who are coming,” said Poindexter.

A thing that sets the local show apart from

most is the underage Showmanship Class.

Youngsters not eligible to compete in the regular livestock event due to their age get a chance to see what competing is like.

Squirrel season has plenty of opportunity Beginning next Saturday, area youths will have the opportunity to partake in something that so many of my generation once vigorously engaged in on a regular basis before the arrival of big game at our backdoors: squirrel hunting.

The Mississippi youth squirrel season for Zone 1 opens on Sept. 21 and goes through Sept. 27.

Youths will be allowed to take up to eight squirrels per day.

Squirrel hunting has always been seen as the perfect introductory sport for getting youngsters interested in hunting. The weather is typically not too hot or too cold, and

the action is usually fast enough to keep even the most â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;antsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; David child from Green b e c o m i n g bored and Outdoors loosing interest.

Young sportsmen who plan on hunting next Saturday should see more than their fair share of action. The squirrel hunting in the area was very good last year, and it appears squirrel populations are in even better shape this time around. In fact, after several consecutive years of favorable weather con-

ditions it seems all wild game species are thriving.

Squirrels have an abundance of foods they like to munch on in early fall. Prior to opening day, youth hunters should do some scouting themselves or either get an older, more experienced hunter to accompany them on their mission in locating likely set-ups where squirrels are feeding hardily. Evidence of where squirrels are feeding heavily can often be seen by the enormous amounts of cuttings found underneath mast producing trees.

My advice is to check out the hickory trees.

Squirrels love hickory nuts, and most of the trees

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come across thus far are absolutely loaded.

Youth hunters who have limited experience with guns and at hunting should not be left alone to hunt by themselves.

There are simply too many things that could go wrong, which could lead to a possible tragic and unnecessary mishap. A responsible adult should be in position to take handle of the situation at all times.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m speaking to you about this from a true experience I had with my then teenage son many years ago.

We were squirrel hunting with one of my friends out at Pine Mountain

when I decided to let the boy hunt a small block of woods not far from the truck while I hunted the next ridge over. I should have known better. My son had very little hunting experience, got bored, went back to my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck and accidentally shot out the back glass. Luckily, that was all the damage done. It could have easily been much worse.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt the popularity of squirrel hunting has taken a severe hit due to the wealth of big game hunting opportunities, but hunters of all ages have no excuse for not rekindling the spirit of squirrel hunting days gone by.

After the conclusion of the youth season, Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular squirrel season for our zone opens on Sept. 28. Squirrels are plentiful and archery season for deer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open until Oct. 1.

The Mississippi squirrel season runs through Feb. 28, 2014.

Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer lab finds Midwest antlers are largest

BY DAVE STORMENT MSU Forest and Wildlife Research Center

MISSISSIPPI STATE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Research conducted by Mississippi State University Deer Lab scientists has determined northern deer may have bigger bodies, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have bigger antlers.

The discovery, made by scientists in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deer Lab, a unit of the Forest and Wildlife Research Center, shows that antler size depends more on diet than latitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In white-tailed deer, large antlers are generally found on deer with large bodies. However, the largest antler measurements were found in the Midwestern states and not the far North, as commonly believed,â&#x20AC;? said

Bronson Strickland, associate Extension professor and researcher in the Forest and Wildlife Research Center.

The ecological theory known as Bergmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rule predicts animals found in northern latitudes require larger body size to maintain body temperature in cold weather. This relationship holds true for body size of white-tailed deer, but Mississippi State deer biologists Strickland and Steve Demarais decided to see if a similar relationship existed for antler size. To find out, they used data from Florida to Maine and as far west as the Rocky Mountains.

Scientists have long hypothesized that nutrition contributes more to antler size than latitude.

Steve Demarais (left) and Bronson Strickland (right) take measurements of a tranquilized deer housed at Mississippi State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rusty Dawkins Memorial Deer Unit. Center from left, graduate students Erick Michel and Jake Oates record the data to help researchers correlate nutrition and genetics with white-tailed deer antler growth.

To test the hypothesis, the duo surveyed state agencies for the antler

beam diameter of yearling bucks. The researchers found that the statisti-

cal relationship between latitude and antler size is weak. Geographic location explains only 7 percent of the variation in antler size. The research found that variation in antler size is more closely related to soil quality and land use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Antler size is known to be highly correlated with body size,â&#x20AC;? said Demarais, who is also a Dale H. Arner professor of wildlife ecology in the Forest and Wildlife Research Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, our research further proves that agricultural areas with rich soil provide more food for deer, leading to deer with larger bodies, independent of their latitude.â&#x20AC;?

That means good soil and agricultural crops lead to larger deer with bigger antlers. Places

with rich soil, such as the Mississippi Delta and the bread basket states, produce deer with big bodies and big antlers.

Strickland said soybean crops contribute the most to deer size. White-tailed deer eat only the seed of grain crops like corn, but they eat all parts of soybean plants, which are grown on rich soil. This gives them the nutrients required to grow larger bodies. The research results may be good news for landowners looking to increase antler size on their property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landowners can provide an ample diet through habitat management and supplemental wildlife plantings, which can have a big impact on antler and body size,â&#x20AC;?

Strickland said.
