Two escapees among those indicted

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two men who escaped from the regional correctional facility in June are among those indicted during the latest session of the Alcorn County grand jury.

A joint indictment for Sirdon

Capanion Greer and Garnett Denzell Hughes includes two counts — one for jail escape and one for grand larceny. In addition to the escape, they are accused of taking jail keys and a two-way radio.

Hughes, who was being

housed on charges of burglary of a dwelling, sexual battery, armed robbery and kidnapping, overpowered a guard at the correctional facility while being returned from exercise time and then unlocked the cell of Greer, who was jailed as a double mur-

der and arson suspect.

Other indictments that have been served, according to court records: ■ Joshua Balentine — Taking motor vehicle ■ Sierra Canales — Directing minor to commit felony

■ Timothy Gilley — Possession of controlled substance ■ Dana Gray — One indictment for grand larceny and and another for credit card fraud ■ Michael Gunn — Possession

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Area civic club members got a preview of the local agencies United Way has chosen to support for 2014 during a special kickoff meeting this past week.

More than 150 Kiwanis, Rotary and Civitain members

packed The Chop House at Shiloh Ridge banquet room to hear from United Way of Corinth and Alcorn County President Ellis Rhett.

“After 75 years in Corinth, United Way continues to be a strong community minded organization,” said Rhett. “We

Making it an October to remember, the local shelter is busy making plans for their first ever Bark-O-Toberfest.

The inaugural festival, sponsored by Smith. restaurant, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the historic downtown Corinth Depot.

Strength Team teaches about correct choices

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Choices come in either the good or bad variety.

Strength Team members Joel Caldwell and Zeb Bishop pumped up Glendale Elementary School students to always go with the right choice.

“Good choices are important,” said Caldwell. “Whatever goals and dreams you have, say yes to good choices and no to the bad ones.”

The pair of powerful men impressed the students with a show of strength prior to passing on valuable lessons.

Fillmore Block Party fun

CONTINUED FROM 1A

The United Way works with more than 1,200 local offices around the country to manage fundraising efforts and identify and resolve community issues.

“Each year the board gathers about 150 volunteers who we involve in the process of selecting how we award funds,” said Rhett. “We think we have made some good choices this year.”

Several local organizations receive United Way support each year, including the Boys and Girls Club of Corinth, local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, CorinthAlcorn Literacy Council, Corinth Sportsplex Outreach, Corinth Welfare Association, Easom Outreach Foundation Hot Meals Program, 4-H Clubs, Faith Haven, First Call For Help, Living Healthy Free Medical Clinic, Magnolia Regional Health Center Hospice Volunteer Training, S.A.F.E. and Project Attention.

Funds also provide scholarships for adult classes at Alcorn Career and Technical Center and the FCCLA and FFA student clubs.

Teacher Academy, one of the newest funded projects, is a local student organization to support young people who are interested in education-related careers.

Lead by ACTC instructor Nan Nethery, Teacher Academy is a FEA (Future Educators Association) endorsed club.

Rhett said his board feels very fortunate to reside in such a giving community.

“Without our donors, we would not be successful,” he said. “We have some organizations and businesses in this area that go above and beyond to help raise money each year and we are very thankful.”

(For more information or to donate, call 662-2868662.)

Organizers are calling the first ever Fillmore Block Party in downtown Corinth a huge success as hundreds of people attended to check out booths by local businesses, great food samples from local restaurants, excellent entertainment and a fashion show.

Two 5-year-olds having a great time were Lilly Smith and Daniel Dodd. For more photos of the block party, see the next edition of Crossroads Magazine.

BMC readies ‘Seussical the Musical’

Briefs Today is Sunday, Sept. 21, the 264th day of 2014. There are 101 days left in the year.

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today’s Highlights in History: On Sept. 21, 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, South Carolina (the storm was blamed for 56 deaths in the Caribbean and 29 in the United States). Twenty-one students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, hit by a softdrink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit.

On this date: In 1792, the French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy.

In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Massachusetts, by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles.

In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial, written anonymously by Francis P. Church, which declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

In 1912, magician Harry Houdini first publicly performed his “Water Torture Cell” trick at the Circus Busch in Berlin.

In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives.

In 1948, Milton Berle made his debut as permanent host of “The Texaco Star Theater” on NBC. In 1964, Malta gained independence from Britain.

In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21.

In 1982, Amin Gemayel, brother of Lebanon’s assassinated president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was himself elected president. National Football League players began a 57-day strike, their first regular-season walkout ever.

In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted football owners to hire replacement players.)

In 1991, an 18-hour hostage drama ended in Sandy, Utah, as Richard L. Worthington, who’d seized control of a hospital maternity ward and killed a nurse, finally freed his nine captives, including a baby born during the siege. (Worthington committed suicide in prison in 1993.)

BLUE MOUNTAIN — The outlandish characters of Dr. Seuss will frolic upon the stage as Blue Mountain College presents Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s “Seussical the Musical.”

Featuring personalities from The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who!, Horton Hatches the Egg and Miss Gertrude McFuzz, the humorous show will take place from Sept.

30 to Oct. 4.

“This is great family show,” said Director Jim Andre. “‘Seussical’ has great music and dancing and its as much fun for adults as it is young people – maybe more.”

Drawing its storyline

from 17 of Dr. Suess’s most beloved children’s

books, “Seussical the Musical” brings to life

the adventures of Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie, the Bad Girls, the Sour Kangaroo, the Grinch and a gaggle of other familiar characters.

BMC will offer seven performances.

Show times are at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 and Oct. 2-4; at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 1-2; and at 1 p.m. on Oct 3.

Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $5 for students.

Patrons who are interested in attending the matinée performances are urged to secure reservations.

(For more information contact the BMC Theatre Department at 662-6854771 extension 134 or email the director at jandre@bmc.edu.)

Birthday recognition Elizabeth Curlee of Booneville (seated) recently celebrated her 87th birthday with a surprise luncheon at Blue Mountain College.

Mrs. Curlee attended BMC 1948-49 while her late husband John Curlee served as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army, then returned and earned her degree in 1959. With Mrs. Curlee at her BMC birthday lunch were (from left) Nancy McDonald, director of BMC alumni affairs; Dr. Barbara Childers McMillin, BMC president; Iris Easterling, Mrs. Curlee’s sister; and friends D.W.

Hillary’s dilemma

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Hillary Clinton is increasingly facing the same kind of problem as bedeviled former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey in his failed 1968 race for the presidency. Both she and Humphrey wrestled with how to put distance between themselves and an unpopular president, particularly as he sank deeper and deeper into an increasingly difficult foreign war.

Each sought to take advantage of their experience in the race for the White House while trying to articulate differences with the president on the policy they helped to formulate. In each case, the president – despite declining poll ratings among the general electorate – still retained formidable resources as the leader of his party. Whipsawed between fear of antagonizing the president and his political base and the need to separate from a failed foreign policy, both Humphrey and Hillary present an image of vacillation and possibly weakness.

Like Humphrey, Hillary has a reputation as a hawk, an image carefully cultivated over the years. Her first term in the Senate from New York was shadowed by the 9/11 attacks in her new home state. She always recognized her vulnerability, as a woman, to the charge that she would not be an adequate commanderin-chief. Her anti-war positions during her youth threatened to disrupt a future presidential candidacy as surely as similar views hurt John Kerry in 2004.

So, as an antidote, Hillary opted to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee and became an outspoken advocate of the resolution to use force in Iraq. She also backed the Patriot Act throughout her tenure.

(Hillary felt so insecure about the implications of 9/11 for her career that she reportedly sought to relate to New Yorkers by pretending that Chelsea was right near the Towers when they collapsed and ducked into a coffee shop saving her life. Chelsea soon admitted she was watching the events unfold on TV from her home four miles away.)

But Hillary’s hawkishness backfired and provided fuel for the fire that was Barack Obama. Impelled by the anti-war movement, the upstart won the Iowa caucuses and went on to defeat Hillary for the nomination.

Now that Obama has, in effect, switched sides, advocating new military involvement in the Middle East, the question is: Will Hillary follow him?

So far, she shows signs of not only going along, but also wanting to lead the charge.

Conspicuously, she has called attention to her support for arming the Syrian rebels during her State Department years.

But her hawkishness would seem to be only politically viable if she has no primary opponent, particularly not one from the left. But just as Johnson’s involvement in Vietnam catalyzed an adversary – first the weaker Eugene McCarthy and then the formidable Bobby Kennedy – so Hillary may find an opponent if she continues to tack to the right on ISIS and Syria.

Right now, these problems loom only on a distant horizon. The war with ISIS is broadly popular following their beheadings. Sixtyone percent support military involvement and, if it is restricted to air attacks, 68 percent say they will support it.

But wars have a way of becoming unpopular and swallowing up those who supported them.

Even if Hillary faces no primary, her prowar stand might cause her base voters to say home or even defect. Humphrey lost to Nixon in 1968 because peace activists opted not to vote or even switched over to back the Republican.

The ISIS war makes these days treacherous ones for Hillary to navigate and the history of her own failure in 2008 and Humphrey’s in 1968 serve as dire warnings.

(Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Prayer for today My Father in heaven, may I hear thy voice to-day! May I be quiet as I listen to thee.

Above the clamor of the crowd may I hear thee calling me. May I hear thee in my joys and in my sorrows; in my work and in my leisure. May I listen to thee oftener, that I may be familiar with thy ways. Amen.

A verse to share “And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.”

John 16:22

What will victory look like?

“Congress must now vote to support the first steps of what will be a long march toward victory,” said Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Following this clarion call, 71 House Republicans bolted to join 85 Democrats in voting no to U.S. funds to train and arm Syrian rebels.

Why the hesitation? Because our strategy in Syria is to rely on a Free Syrian Army that has been the least effective force in that civil war, and untrustworthy to boot. Units of the FSA have handed their U.S. weapons over to ISIS. Yet these “feckless” rebels, says Sen. Bob Corker, constitute “our entire ground game.”

John McCain raises a second issue. The FSA came into being to overthrow Bashar Assad. Now they are to be retrained to fight ISIS. How effective will the FSA be when told to change sides and become de facto allies of the dictator against whom they took up arms?

Projections are that it will take a year before we can set up and run camps in Saudi Arabia, vet volunteers, train, equip, and arm rebels, and send 5,000 fighters into battle in Syria.

The United States will then be ensuring that a three-year civil war that

has caused millions of refugees and cost 190,000 lives – soldiers, rebels, jihadists, and Pat civilians alike Buchanan – will go on indefinitely.

Columnist Where is the morality in a superpower decision to arm Syrians and send them into a war they cannot win, so few in number are they, but where they can keep bleeding 5,000 lives a month of their countrymen? Can St. Augustine’s theory of a just war be reconciled with such programmed slaughter with no end in sight?

Brushing aside these concerns is the Wall Street Journal, whose editorial, “The Syria Campaign,” describes how the FSA can emerge victorious.

“American bombs aren’t yet falling on Syria, but on Tuesday Chuck Hagel suggested they soon will. ...

Let’s hope so.” the editorial began. Here is how the Journal’s “military strategy” would unfold: “A devastating air campaign against the Islamic State might at least weaken the group sufficiently to embolden a revolt and send new recruits to the FSA. The

model here is the air cover NATO gave to Kosovars as they fought Serbian aggressors in 1999.”

But were the Serbs really “aggressors” in fighting to hold their cradle province of Kosovo, which ethnic Albanians were trying to tear away? Did Bill Clinton fight a constitutional war in killing 1,000 Serbs without the authorization of the Congress of the United States?

Does the Journal have in mind another unconstitutional war?

So it would seem. For the Journal not only wants bombs falling on ISIS, but on Assad as well.

The Journal wants Obama to bomb Raqqa, ISIS, the Assad regime, and its army and air force, to give the FSA a “psychological boost.”

Questions arise: Does the Journal believe Barack Obama needs Congressional authorization before going to war against Syria, which has neither attacked nor threatened us, but instead has expressed a willingness to work with us to destroy ISIS? Does the Journal believe Hezbollah and Iran, which have expended blood and treasure sustaining their ally Assad in his civil war, will sit still and watch us bomb him? Will Putin do

nothing as we bomb his ally?

What if our air campaign against ISIS, as our air attacks in Iraq seem to have done, brings recruits rushing not to the FSA, but to ISIS? Before we went back into the Iraq war, we were told ISIS had 15,000 fighters.

Now there are estimates of 30,000.

Are we creating more enemies than we are killing?

And if our bombing campaign against Assad breaks him, who comes to power in Damascus, if not ISIS, alNusra or the Islamic Front?

What then becomes of the Christian and Shia minorities?

“Our key allies are the Kurds, the parts of the Iraqi military that aren’t dominated by Iraq’s militia, and the moderate Sunnis in Syria and Iraq,” says the Journal.

But if those are our key allies, then the “long march” to victory of which the majority leader speaks appears to have no end.

And what will victory look like?

A plea for constitutional literacy Earlier this summer, I managed to perplex, perhaps even offend, a famous TV interviewer when I declared I want a federal government that follows the U.S. Constitution. Seemingly aghast, the interviewer went so far as to suggest my position was a “highly charged thing to say.”

Imagine that. A journalist – who, owing to the Constitution, has the right to report and speak freely – being uncomfortable with a fellow American’s allegiance to the Constitution and to the Founding Fathers’ vision of a limited central government.

I fear we as a nation have drifted too far away from an understanding and appreciation of the greatest governance document the world has ever produced. We have a president today who usurps power never given to him in the Constitution, a dysfunctional Congress so gridlocked that it can’t fulfill its mission as a separate-but-equal branch of government, and a Fourth Estate of media elites who cheerlead for a bigger, more intrusive government that unnecessarily addicts those

struggling to escape poverty to handouts, rather than encouraging selfreliance.

Ben Let me be Carson clear. Rightly sized and Columnist empowered, government serves an excellent purpose.

Our Founding Fathers knew that and created a perfect vision for a republic of independent states protected and served by a central federal government with strong checks and balances. Those checks on powers were essential to the Framers, who established three equal but separate branches to ensure we always had a government “of the people, for the people and by the people.”

But today we have people who are simply overgoverned – subjected to taxation, regulation and intrusions by a massive federal government that our Founding Fathers never would have tolerated. It wants to control what we eat, how we live and even how much we can earn. It values political correctness

over freedom, codependence over self-reliance, and redistribution of wealth over personal success.

That’s why I said what I did that Sunday morning to that talk-show host. I told him I would love to have a government again that places the Constitution at the center of its mission, that recognizes government was never intended to intrude on every aspect of our lives.

How do we reverse this creeping despair that we have drifted too far away from our founding principles? It’s simple. I think we must go back to the source of our great American experiment: the Constitution.

In little more than 4,500 words, the Framers created a vision of government that preserves liberty first and foremost and also serves the basic needs of a republic.

For 200 years, that document has guided this great nation through dark times and soaring success. For most of our history, schoolchildren were taught the guiding principles of the Constitution from the earliest age, and even members of Congress with controversial civil rights histories such

as the late Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia kept a copy in their jacket pockets to remind them of the responsibilities and limits of governance.

On this Constitution Day, a wonderful holiday created with bipartisan support just a few short years ago, let’s recommit ourselves to rereading and appreciating our Constitution and to ensuring that our children and our children’s children grow up with the same appreciation we were given. Appreciation will help us all overcome the ignorant political correctness of a few media elites and governing officials who seem to dismiss the fundamental principles of a government that respects liberty first and foremost.

Bergen, versatile actress, singer dies NEW YORK — Emmywinning actress and singer Polly Bergen, who in a long career played the terrorized wife in the original “Cape Fear” and the first woman president in “Kisses for My President,” died Saturday, according to her publicist. She was 84.

Bergen died at her home in Southbury, Connecticut, from natural causes, said publicist Judy Katz, surrounded by family and close friends.

A brunette beauty with a warm, sultry singing voice, Bergen was a household name from her 20s onward.

She made albums and played leading roles in films, stage musicals and TV dramas. She also hosted her own variety series, was a popular game show panelist, and founded a thriving beauty products company that bore her name.

In recent years, she played Felicity Huffman’s mother on “Desperate Housewives” and the past mistress of Tony Soprano’s late father on “The Sopranos.”

Bergen won an Emmy in 1958 portraying the tragic singer Helen Morgan on the famed anthology series “Playhouse 90.” She was nominated for another Emmy in 1989 for best supporting actress in a miniseries or special for “War and Remembrance.”

Intruder caught at White House door WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service is coming under intense scrutiny after a man who hopped the White House fence made it all the way through the front door before being apprehended.

President Barack Obama and his daughters had just departed the White House on Friday evening when an intruder scaled the north fence, darted across the lawn and into the presidential residence, where agents nabbed him. The security

breach triggered a rare evacuation of much of the White House, with Secret Service officers drawing their guns as they rushed staffers and journalists out a side door.

For the Secret Service, the incident was a devastating episode that prompted fresh questions about the storied agency and its ability to protect the president. The Republican Party’s Jason Chaffetz, who chairs the House of Representatives’ subpanel on national security oversight, called it “totally unacceptable” but said the incident was just one of a string of security failings on the Secret Service’s watch.

“Unfortunately, they are failing to do their job,” Chaffetz said.

“These are good men and women, but the Secret Service leadership has a lot of questions to answer.”

“Was the door open?” he added incredulously.

The Secret Service said the incident would be carefully reviewed to ensure proper protocols were followed.

Teams in California assess fire damage POLLOCK PINES, Calif. — Assessment teams hope to get an idea Saturday of just how many structures have been damaged or destroyed by a massive wildfire that threatens thousands of homes in Northern California.

While officials confirmed that several structures have been lost in what is being called the King Fire, dangerous conditions have prevented them from determining an exact number, fire spokesman Mike McMillian said.

miles from Sacramento, the blaze spread another 6 square miles overnight as forecasters say smoke from it could be seen in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nearly 5,000 firefighters — from as far as Florida and Alaska — are helping California crews battle the blaze that’s not only consumed grass and brush, but swaths of extremely dry tall timber.

Obama pushed to grow military effort WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s military campaign against the Islamic State group already has extended beyond the limits he first outlined.

But military experts inside and outside the administration argue that an even greater expansion may be needed for the mission to succeed, including positioning U.S. ground troops with front-line Iraqi security forces.

Doing that could put Obama close to violating his pledge to keep Americans out of combat.

For Obama, reengaging in combat in Iraq would mean going back on promises about the current mission and undercutting a pillar of his presidency — ending long wars and avoid new ones.

If commanders request ground troops and he turns them down, Obama could be accused of putting his legacy first.

Obama has shown a willingness to expand the size and scope of the fight against the Islamic State extremist group.

He first announced a limited airstrike campaign, but the U.S. now is pursuing targets across Iraq and is expected to push the attacks into Syria.

About 1,600 U.S. troops have been sent to Iraq to train local security forces and protect U.S. personnel.

Shooting at store kills 2, injures 2 BATESVILLE — Two men are dead after an early Saturday shooting at a rural grocery store near Batesville.

Panola County Coroner Gracie Grant-Gulledge says the dead men are 20-year-old Quendez Robinson and 24-yearold Rodrick Scurlock.

Gulledge says Robinson died of a gunshot wound after being taken to TriLakes Medical Center, while Scurlock died at the store in the Curtis Station community, about 7 miles northwest of Batesville Both were shot about 1 a.m. at the Hilltop Grocery, where a party was apparently in progress.

At least two other people were shot and are recovering.

Panola County Sheriff Dennis Darby tells that two gang rivals may have argued. Deputies say a fifth person may have also been grazed by a bullet.

Work starts on bike, walk trail in Tupelo TUPELO — After months of planning, work has begun on the Tupelo Birthplace Trail.

City leaders marked the occasion with ceremonial groundbreaking on Friday.

The project will include bike lanes and sidewalks on East Main Street from Green Street to Veterans Boulevard.

Also in the plan is construction of street parking along the route through downtown Tupelo.

Funding for the project

will come in part from the Mississippi Department of Transportation.

Property swap lets Hinds College grow JACKSON — Hinds Community College will expand its nursing and allied health programs in Jackson after agreeing to move Mississippi State extension service employees to college property in Raymond.

The Hinds County Board of Supervisors voted Sept. 2 to accept the swap.

The college will gain use of 11.5 acres and two buildings. President Clyde Muse says one building will be renovated to house classrooms.

The property adjoins the college’s current nursing and allied health programs near Central Mississippi Medical Center.

The college could use the property for a surgical simulation center to help train students.

Plans also call for a lodge for families of burn victims being treated at the hospital.

Council to market: Take food stamps VICKSBURG — Members of the Mayor’s Health Council hope to work out a plan under which the Vicksburg farmers market can accept electronic benefits transactions as part of a plan to improve the health of Vicksburg residents.

“If we don’t get people healthier, they’re always going to be sick and depending on the government’s pockets,” said council member Vanessa Prentiss, who teaches health classes at Kings Empowerment Center.

“This is our city, and we want our city to last and our people to last.”

Council member Gail Kavanaugh, nutrition director for the Vicksburg Warren School District, told The Vicksburg Post the system could involve the farmers market manager accepting EBTs and issuing tokens that can be traded to market vendors, or allowing farmers to accept EBT payments at their booths.

CDC urges healthy adults to remember flu vaccine erwise healthy children, said Dr. Paul Offit of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. At least 100 U.S. children died of flu last year, only half of whom had lung conditions or other illnesses that put them at high risk and most of whom weren’t vaccinated.

About half of pregnant women get vaccinated.

The shot can be given during any trimester, and also protects the baby during the first few months of life, said obstetrician Dr. Laura Riley of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Who should be vaccinated

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s time for flu vaccine again and while it’s important for the whole family, this year health officials have some different advice for different ages: Certain kids should opt for the ouchless nasal spray. Seniors, expect to get a new kind of pneumonia shot along with that flu jab.

And too many young and middle-age adults are skipping the vaccine altogether, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — even though there are more options than ever.

“The best way to protect yourself against the flu is to get a flu vaccination,” said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden on Thursday, before rolling up his sleeve to get his own flu shot.

Some things to know about flu vaccinations:

The government recommends a yearly flu vaccine for nearly everyone starting at 6 months of age. Yet only about half of Americans get one, a number Frieden called unfortunate. On average, the CDC estimates, flu kills about 24,000 Americans a year.

How many are Vaccination rates last year were highest for children under 5 — 70 percent — and for seniors — 65 percent, the CDC said.

But just a third of healthy adults ages 18 to 64 got vaccinated and, surprisingly, last year hospitalizations were highest among that age group.

About 55 percent of school-age children were vaccinated. Parents need to realize that flu vaccine is crucial even for oth-

The vaccine supply About 150 million doses are being shipped this year, with no signs of shortages or delays, Frieden said. About half will protect against four strains of influenza instead of the usual three, he said, as U.S. manufacturers move

toward vaccines with that extra bit of protection.

CDC doesn’t recommend one over the other.

Which kind to choose For the first time this year, the CDC says the ouchless FluMist nasal spray version is the preferred vaccine for healthy children ages 2 to 8, after research showed it works a little better for them. But don’t wait if your doctor has only the shot — just get them vaccinated, said Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.

FluMist also can be used by healthy people ages 2 through 49 who aren’t pregnant.

If a squirt up the nose isn’t for you, there are lots of other options: the regular shot; an egg-free shot for those allergic to eggs; a high-dose shot just for

those 65 and older whose immune systems may need an extra boost; and a tinyneedle shot that just penetrates the skin. The Food and Drug Administration also recently approved a needle-free injector to deliver flu vaccine, although it’s not clear how soon it will be widely available.

New advice for seniors This year, the CDC is urging people 65 and older to get a new kind of pneumonia vaccine along with their flu shot.

Children already receive Pfizer’s Prevnar-13 to prevent a kind of bacteria, called pneumococcus, that can cause pneumonia, meningitis and other infections. Now seniors need a one-time dose, too.

That’s in addition to a one-time dose of another long-used pneumonia vaccine, called a polysaccharide vaccine. The ca-

veat: The two pneumonia shots have to be given at least six months apart. If you’ve had neither so far, get the new kind first — along with this year’s flu shot — and come back later for the second pneumonia vaccine, advised Schaffner.

When to get vaccinated “Now’s the time,” Frieden said. It’s impossible to predict when flu will start spreading and it takes about two weeks for protection to kick in. Flu season typically peaks in January or February.

What’s the cost The vaccine is covered by insurance and Medicare, usually without a copay. For the uninsured, it can cost about $30.

Schaffner advised checking public health clinics for free or reduced-cost shots.

3 guilty in salmonella peanut trial Ocean Springs mayor’s wedding nears

BY RUSS BYNUM Associated Press

ALBANY, Ga. — A federal jury convicted the owner of a peanut plant and two others Friday in a salmonella outbreak that prompted one of the largest U.S. food recalls ever, sickened hundreds across the country and was linked to several deaths.

Experts say the sevenweek trial in Albany, Georgia, marked the first time corporate executives and plant workers were tried in a food poisoning case. Former Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell was convicted on numerous counts including conspiracy,

wire fraud and obstruction of justice related to shipping tainted peanut butter to customers and faking results of lab tests intended to screen for salmonella. His brother, Michael Parnell, was also found guilty on multiple charges related to the false lab results, but was acquitted of shipping salmonella-tainted food.

The jury also found Mary Wilkerson, the plant’s quality assurance manager, guilty of obstruction of justice for hiding information about the plant’s salmonella problems from investigator. But Wilkerson was acquitted on one of two obstruction counts she faced.

The case has been closely followed by the food industry and could rattle some executives, said Bill Marler, an attorney who has represented victims of food-borne illnesses for two decades, including many who got sick after eating Peanut Corporation’s food.

“I think the fact that these guys were charged with felonies and have now been convicted of felonies and obviously are going to face some substantial potential for jail time and fines, I think, sends a pretty strong message to the food industry that U.S. attorneys are willing to charge people with crimes,” Marler said.

OCEAN SPRINGS — Connie Moran’s wedding is less than a month away.

The beautiful, hand-written invitations are long sent.

The Ocean Springs mayor and her Alabama fiance, Jack Rosen, who recently committed to living in Ocean Springs, are headed to the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Ala., to finalize the arrangements with the hotel’s events planner and chef. They will have Ocean Springs florist (Chez) Charles Young in tow.

Moran said she chose the site because her parents honeymooned at the famous hotel in 1949.

The staff is searching the guest books from that year to find her parents’ signatures.

The mayor has been married before. Her daughter, Magdeleine,

is from her marriage to John Henry of Columbus.

She said she had the usual apprehensions at first, marrying again at 58 with a more seasoned, realistic view of life.

“But I feel younger than I have in years,” Moran said after announcing her engagement in April.

Rosen proposed in New Orleans, after climbing an orange tree to pick an orange for her. (That’s why orange is prominent in her wedding scheme.)

“I liked him from the first,” she said. “He has an excellent sense of humor, and he’s a great dancer, all the things a woman my age dreams about.”

They met at a 2012 New Year’s Eve party and dated for more than a year.

Rosen’s family has lived in Mobile for several generations. He is 54, loves history and has four grown children. Their courtship withstood the

Ocean Springs-to-Mobile travel and a full-tilt reelection campaign, in which the Democrat won her third term in office.

“He’s been through it all and knows what it’s like,” she said. “He doesn’t like it if people give me a tough time. But I say that’s just part of being mayor. It’s just politics.

“I’m used to fending for myself. It’s nice for a change to have someone who’s got your back,” she said. “... and he does.”

Moran is a very public figure and her invitation list reflects that — aldermen, councilmen and city department heads. She has chartered a bus to haul friends from Ocean Springs on that Saturday, Oct. 11.

Moran sees a short, formal service with 110 guests, beginning at 2 minutes and 32 seconds past noon, as dictated on the invitation.

rescue.

In addition to their patronage of the festival, attendees can aid the shelter by making pet food

and monetary donations.

“We will also be taking orders for the shelter’s newest calendar,” said Doehner.

Growing in popularity, the colorful calendars contain pictures of local pets and animals who are in need of rescue.

Amateur photographers will see their art displayed as the Crossroads Museum shows off this year’s winners.

The shelter volunteers are looking forward to the event and hope to see a good turn-out.

“Come dance with us, have a beer and brat and join in on the fun,” said the director. “It’s a great opportunity to get away for a few hours, all while helping animals in need.”

Experts say science can dazzle with less danger

BY DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

DENVER — A dazzling show of fire and color can make science come alive for young students, but it can also inflict serious and painful injuries, as flash fires in Nevada and Colorado showed this month.

Educators and investigators say some teachers lack the training required by law and don’t know about standard safety measures that can dramatically lower the inherent dangers of hands-on experiments — experiments they say are vital to science education.

“You’ve got to have it hands-on, but you have to make it a safer experience through that training,” said Ken Roy, a safety consultant for the National Science Teachers Association and a longtime teacher.

Four students were injured, one seriously, when a teacher was pouring methanol onto a table top and igniting it during a chemistry class demonstration Monday at Denver’s Science, Math and Arts Academy, a charter high school. A 4-foot jet of flame erupted out of the methanol bottle and burned one of the students, investigators said.

School officials said the student’s parents asked them not to release any information about his condition.

On Sept. 3, 13 people, mostly children, were burned by a methanolfueled flash fire during a science demonstration at the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum in Reno.

Daniel Horowitz, managing director of the U.S.

Chemical Safety Board, said the board has not been able to find any national standards for teacher training and procedures.

Schools and museums are not required to report such incidents, so no one knows for sure how often they happen.

Jim Kaufman, president of the nonprofit Laboratory Safety Institute, estimates that about five methanol-related accidents occur in high school labs every year.

The Chemical Safety Board, which investigates chemical accidents, said it knows of at least 11 methanol-related fires in science demonstrations since 2000, and more are coming to light amid the news of the Reno and Denver fires.

The Denver teacher wanted the table top fire to be bigger, so he was pouring more methanol from a gallon-size jug when the chemical inside the container caught fire, said Mark Wingard, a Chemical Safety Board investigator. The heat expanded the methanol in-

side the jug, and it erupted in a stream out of the narrow opening, said Dan Tillema, another board investigator.

The teacher had minor injuries and declined medical treatment, officials said.

Methanol, a form of alcohol, is often used as a fuel source for a popular classroom demonstration that shows how different chemicals emit different colors when they burn.

But it emits flammable vapor at temperatures as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit, experts say, making it dangerous.

Safer alternatives to methanol are available, Roy said, but methanol is commonly used because it’s convenient and because many teachers learned the experiment that way.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires school districts to train and supervise teachers who handle hazardous chemicals like methanol, Roy said, but many schools don’t have training and no one is keeping track.

 NEW YORK — It’s easy to dismiss Apple’s new iPhones as merely catching up to Android.

After all, phones running Google’s Android system long have had larger screens. In addition, many Android phones already have the wireless chips that

iPhones are getting for making credit card payments without pulling out a card at retail stores.

But the new iPhones are a big deal for one simple reason: Only Apple has the advantage of building both the hardware and the software, so iPhones are easier to use and more dependable.

There are many flavors of Android out there, and some phones won’t run the latest apps or work with accessories such as smartwatches. In addition, many leading apps come to the iPhone first or have features exclusive to iPhones.

Android phones still have some advantages.

Samsung’s flagship phones are still slightly larger than the new iPhones, for instance. Their cameras have higher megapixel counts — though that’s just one factor in what makes a good photo.

What the new iPhones do is eliminate screen size as a reason to avoid iPhones.

The question, then, becomes: Which one?

The iPhone 5, 5s and 5c have screens measuring 4 inches diagonally. The iPhone 6 boosts that to 4.7 inches, while the iPhone 6 Plus is at 5.5 inches. Yet the new phones are thinner than the smaller models.

Apple gets rid of glass in the back in favor of an all-aluminum body with curved edges. The new iPhones don’t feel as boxy as previous models.

And the new phones make good use of the larger screens. Those with poorer eyesight can choose a “zoom� option so that everything gets blown up to fill the extra space, just like larger Android phones. Otherwise, you can fit in more content, including an extra row of icons on the home screen.

The iPhone 6 Plus also allows apps to rearrange their layout in horizontal mode. Content appears in two columns, so you’re not switching back and forth as much. The drawback: The Plus is huge for those who don’t regularly carry a backpack or purse.

I personally find past iPhones easier to carry and fit in the pocket, especially when I go out running. Apple will still make last year’s 5s and 5c available, at reduced prices. The 5c is essentially 2-year-old technology, so the 5s is the better option.

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

Winners of the 2014 Daily Corinthian Readers Choice competition will be presented Sunday, Sept. 28.

Partner’s sloppy appearance reflects poorly on business DEAR ABBY: I co-own a professional service business with a woman whose appearance has deteriorated significantly over the last three or four years.

“Mary” was never a fashion plate, but she used to be presentable for business.

Four years ago, she put on quite a bit of weight.

She refuses to buy new clothes unAbigail til she loses Van Buren it, but she makes no Dear Abby real attempt to do so.

M a r y wears the same three pair of baggy pants to the office day after day.

She does have two “good” outfits she will wear to see clients, but even those are threadbare.

I dread the idea of a client dropping in and seeing Mary in her normal state, especially since she takes her shoes off at the office because her feet swell.

She has become an embarrassment. How do you think I should handle this? -- IMAGE IS EVERYTHING IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR IMAGE IS EVERYTHING: If clients haven’t dropped in during the last four years, they are not likely to start coming in droves.

However, your partner should look her best when she calls on clients, and she should not represent the business looking “threadbare.”

You should handle this by addressing this part of the problem only.

Unless you dress for the office looking like a page out of Vogue, let the woman be comfortable.

P.S. I take MY shoes off at the office because I see no reason to wear 6-inch stilettos while my feet are under my desk. If someone comes in, I put them back on. That’s what your partner should do if the need arises.

DEAR ABBY: I have been estranged from my family for many years. It was a decision I thought long and hard about, and I have no regrets. It was one of the wisest decisions I have ever made, and it helped me to maintain my mental and physical health.

I recently had a baby, and my family has been sending me gifts. In the past, I have returned them all, but I feel torn under these circumstances because

the gifts are not for me, but for my child.

Normally, I would write thankyou cards for such things, but in this case I don’t want to mislead anyone or set a precedent that such things are welcome.

Please tell me how I should delicately handle this.

There is no hope for reconciliation, and my child will not be having a relationship with any of these people. I don’t want to hurt anyone; I just want to be left alone. -- ETIQUETTECHALLENGED DEAR CHALLENGED: You have already cut your ties with these people.

You do not plan to have a relationship with them, nor will your child. You are under no obligation to thank them for unwanted gifts, and your child will not be deprived if you send the gifts back.

It appears this is an attempt by them to buy their way back into your life. The gifts should be returned unopened, with no comment.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

There are some tricky logistics to figure out, and you’ll definitely need help. Take your time in deciding the right way to ask.

Design your approach by focusing on the needs of the other person, and you can’t go wrong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Sometimes you’re the caretaker; sometimes you’re the one who gets cared for -- at least that’s the way it should be. Avoid relationships that are so one-sided that the other person never quite gets around to caring for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Make your move when you get a clear sign that the timing is right.

Otherwise, you’re bound for a false start or to waste hours on unnecessary happenings and efforts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You don’t have to do trust exercises to know whom to trust.

Real life has taught you all you need to know on the subject.

Someone will be as faithful to you as the tide is faithful to the moon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are futilely trying to resist an attraction that is not going away anytime soon. You may as well investigate further instead. That will help to wear down the glossy fantasy sheen that’s making the situation so enticing for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You and another person are working at cross-purposes, and this is making both of your lives harder. If you can get in alignment, it will be like you hit the “easy button” on your whole life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t take things terribly personally, but not everyone is like you. The one who reacts so strongly to your suggestions and opinions may be suffering from low self-esteem. Be sensitive and take it in stride.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

When others have a problem today, you feel that you have the problem, too. Is this healthy empathy or unhealthy codependency? If it makes you feel better to help, it’s probably healthy enough.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The time you spend anticipating and preparing for the demands of the day won’t be wasted.

Even if you don’t use every tool or supply you bring along, you’ll be better off for the preparation process.

Bulldogs stun No. 8 LSU

BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — Dak Prescott treated a national audience to an extraordinary performance and Mississippi State ended a 14-year losing streak against LSU by holding off a wild rally after most Tigers fans had left Death Valley.

Prescott passed for 268 yards and two touchdowns and highlighted his 105 yards rushing with a 56-yard scoring run, and Mississippi State celebrated a stunning 34-29 victory over No. 8 LSU. MSU led 34-10 in the fourth quarter, but LSU scored three late touchdowns, two in a span of 28 seconds. That set up a last-second desperation heave by LSU backup

quarterback Brandon Harris, which was intercepted by Will Redmond at the goal line.

Prescott, a Louisiana native, not only helped the Bulldogs (4-0) beat LSU (3-1) for the first time since 1999, but win in Tiger Stadium for the first time since 1991 — about two years before Prescott was born.

His touchdown passes included a 74-yarder to Jameon Lewis, who had five catches for 116 yards. De’Runnya Wilson caught four passess for 91 yards, including a tough 9-yard touchdown catch along the sideline to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. Josh Robinson rushed 16 times for 197 yards and a touchdown for MSU, which led 17-3 at halftime and never trailed.

LSU’s offense struggled to sustain drives until after MSU had built a 34-10 fourth-quarter lead, though the Tigers somehow managed to make the final minutes interesting.

Malachi Dupre caught a 31yard touchdown pass from backup Brandon Harris with 1:55 left, and after an MSU fumble on a bad shot-gun snap in its own territory, Harris found Dupre again from 30 yards to make it a onescore game with 1:27 left.

The Bulldogs recovered LSU’s onside kick attempt, then left LSU only 20 seconds after a punt through the end zone. Still, Harris managed to get the Tigers to midfield in time for one last desperate deep pass to the goal line.

Will Redmond intercepted

the pass as time expired, and was mobbed by teammates as players wearing maroon jerseys celebrated on the field, while the few LSU fans who stuck around fell suddenly silent.

Mississippi State had won its first three games easily, but those victories over Southern Mississippi, UAB and South Alabama hadn’t won over enough AP poll voters to get the Bulldogs into the Top 25.

That’s bound to change after Mississippi State became first unranked team to win in Tiger Stadium since Mississippi did it in 2008, when LSU was ranked 18th.

South Carolina Sims, Alabama topple Florida beats Vanderbilt

BY JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Now Steve Spurrier trails only Paul “Bear” Bryant for the most Southeastern Conference wins by a coach. Better yet, his 14th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks shook off a hangover to win their third straight game.

Dylan Thompson threw for 237 yards and three touchdowns, and he ran for another score as South Carolina rallied from 14 points down Saturday night to beat Vanderbilt 48-34.

Spurrier now has 202 Southeastern Conference wins, breaking a tie with Vince Dooley and putting him second only to Bryant (292). Spurrier also got his 20th win all-time against the Commodores.

The Gamecocks (3-1, 2-1) started slow coming off their 38-35 win over Georgia in their first road trip this season. They got going by scoring 17 points in the second quarter, part of 24 straight points that gave them the lead for good, and beat Vanderbilt for a sixth straight time in this series.

Darrius Sims returned two kickoffs for touchdowns for Vanderbilt.

The Commodores (1-3, 0-2) pulled to 34-27 with 5:57 left but couldn’t get closer.

Vanderbilt already has played the most combined freshmen in the country, and the Commodores lost starting quarterback Patton Robinette to an apparent injury after he threw a TD pass for a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter. Freshman Wade Freebeck replaced Robinette, and he drove the Commodores to two field goals by Tommy Openshaw in the second half.

It just wasn’t enough against the Gamecocks who answered with two TDs in the final 4:35.

Pharoh Cooper set up the first, a 1-yard TD plunge

by Thompson, with a 70yard run off the wildcat after Vandy pulled within 34-27.

Thompson finished 22 of 34 passing with his TD passes to three different players as he completed passes to seven receivers.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Neither Florida’s defense nor Alabama’s mistakes could contain Blake Sims and Amari Cooper.

Sims threw for 445 yards, the second-best passing performance in school history, and Cooper scored three touchdowns as the third-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sloppy performance to beat the Gators 42-21 on Saturday.

The Tide (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) committed 11 penalties for 80 yards and four turn-

overs that turned into 21 points for the Gators (21, 1-1), who still couldn’t handle Sims and the prolific passing connection.

Sims threw touchdown passes of 87 yards to Kenyan Drake on the opening play and 79 to Cooper later in the first quarter.

Still, 400 yards for an Alabama offense known more in the past for bruising running games?

“I didn’t think it was possible,” Sims said. “I just try to take what I take and what the defense gives me, and just try to trust my guys that they’re going to be there.”

Cooper, who came in leading the nation in receptions, caught 10 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns. He broke Dennis Homan’s 47-yearold record of 18 career touchdown catches.

The Tide’s turnovers and miscues kept the game close into the fourth quarter. Alabama’s 645 total yards was the most the Gators have allowed.

The previous high was Nebraska’s 629 yards in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. Sims was 23-of-33 passing with four touchdowns, and was already up to 335 by halftime. That placed him a

yard shy of the Tide’s Top 10 passing games.

“People have to respect his passing,” Tide coach Nick Saban said. “He has made too many plays for people not to respect him as a passer.”

Derrick Henry gained 111 yards on 20 rushes.

Sims deflected much of the credit, saying that when you have Alabama’s offensive line, receivers and tailbacks, “You’re bound to have a good game.”

Indiana pulls upset against No. 18 Missouri

BY JAKE KREINBERG Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri needed one more stop and couldn’t get it.

The 18th-ranked Tigers yielded a six-play, 75-yard drive to Indiana in the final minutes, capped by D’Angelo Roberts’ 3-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds remaining that gave Indiana a 31-27 victory Saturday.

“You have a bad taste in

your mouth,” linebacker Michael Scherer said.

“This should have never happened, but it did, so we’ve got to rebound and we’ve got to work. That’s all there is to it.”

Cornerback John Gibson helped Indiana extend its final drive by committing a pass interference penalty on fourthand-6 at the Hoosiers’ 29.

Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld attempted to find Dominique Booth across

the middle of the field, but Gibson wrapped his arms around the receiver before he could make the catch.

Indiana running back Tevin Coleman then ran 44 yards to the Missouri 15-yard line on the following play to set up the game-winning score.

“A team that’s good like Indiana, they’ll beat you on any day,” said receiver Bud Sasser, who caught 11 passes for 142 yards.

“You can’t come out with your B-game and expect to beat those guys.”

The Tigers (3-1) entered the game as a double-digit favorite but allowed Indiana to record 11 tackles for loss, hamstringing them for most of the first three quarters. Missouri finished with 498 total yards, including 145 in the final 15 minutes.

Rouge because it marked the first Southeastern Conference game in Tiger Stadium since it had been expanded with new seating rising steeply above the south end zone, increasing capacity to more than 102,000.

During the Tigers’ previous two home games — victories of 56-0 over Sam Houston State and 31-0 over Louisiana-Monroe — fans left early. With the Bulldogs leading 3110 and driving inside the LSU 20 as the third quarter ended, fans started filing out early again.

Meanwhile, the LSU defense, which was oozing with confidence after shutting out opponents

Baseball A.L. standings, schedule

for the equivalent of about 10 quarters, was staggered repeatedly by Prescott and Co. Mississippi State gained 20 or more yards on 10 separate plays. Those included a 66-yard run by Robinson which set up a second-quarter field goal to make it 17-0.

LSU was as close as 17-10 after defensive end Danielle Hunter returned Prescott’s fumble for a 25-yard score early in the third quarter.

Prescott responded the on the next series by ripping off his long scoring run, faking defensive back Jalen Collins to the ground with a hard cutback to the right before outracing remaining pursuers to the goal line.

ALABAMA CONTINUED FROM 10A

cessful than its defense.

Florida’s Jeff Driskel was harassed and ineffective passing. He was 9-of-28 passing for 93 yards and was intercepted twice while the offense produced just 200 yards.

Driskel did run for 59 yards, but it got so bad that Florida legend Emmitt Smith called for the quarterback’s benching on Twitter.

Demarcus Robinson, who had 15 catches in an overtime win over Kentucky, was held to two receptions for 14 yards.

Florida failed in its bid for a statement-making performance after a 4-8 season and to perhaps lift coach Will Muschamp, whose mentor Saban was on the opposite sideline, from the hot seat. The Tide’s blunders kept the game from being even more lopsided.

“We had our chances and we didn’t do it,” Muschamp said. “That’s

the frustrating thing.”

It was all Alabama after Driskel’s 14-yard touchdown run tied the game at 21-21 early in the third quarter. That came two plays after Neiron Ball got his left hand on a Sims throw at the line and Antonio Morrison scooped it up for a 20yard return. All three of the Gators’ touchdowns came after turnovers.

“Obviously everybody that watched the game could tell that there were some things that we did extremely well and some things (that) were pretty sloppy,” Saban said. “But I thought in the second half we really controlled the game.”

Alabama answered the tying score with a 16play drive sustained despite two penalties and a sack. Henry dodged a couple of defenders for a 29-yard catch on thirdand-23 and scored on a 3-yard run on the next play with 5:27 left in the third quarter.

TIGERS CONTINUED FROM 10A

in prime position, too, after Andrew Baggett kicked a 40-yard field goal with 2:20 remaining to cap an 11-play, 70-yard drive for a 27-24 lead. The score followed a 1-yard touchdown pass from Maty Mauk to Sean Culkin 11 minutes earlier to tie the game.

“When was the last time we faced adversity?” Mauk asked. “Obviously, you don’t want that, but we’re going to bounce back and I have no doubt everybody’s going to get healthy and we’re going to come out ready to play Saturday.”

Mauk completed 28 of 47 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and Russell Hansbrough added

119 yards on the ground on 10 carries. The Tigers play at South Carolina next week to start a stretch of eight consecutive games against Southeastern Conference opponents.

Hansbrough provided sparks for the Tigers in the opening half after walking off the field gingerly on Missouri’s second possession after Indiana’s Antonio Allen committed a horse-collar tackle. He then gained 111 yards on his first three carries, including 68 yards on a touchdown run to tie the score at 14 midway through the second quarter.

“It was all or nothing,” coach Gary Pinkel said.

“We either got negative yards or made a big play. ...”

VANDY CONTINUED FROM 10A

Vanderbilt 449-379 in total offense, and the Gamecocks turned two turnovers into 14 points, including a 53-yard interception return by Brison Williams late in the first half.

Sims tied an NCAA record in the Football Bowl Subdivision with his two TDs off kick returns in the same game, the 18th time that’s happened and first since 2012. He returned the opening kick 91 yards for a TD and then took Vanderbilt’s first kickoff in the second half 100 yards to pull the Commodores within 24-21.

Vanderbilt got the start first-year coach Derek Mason needed off Sims’ kickoff return.

Robinette made it 14-0 with an 8-yard TD pass

to C.J. Duncan in the final minute of the first quarter. Vanderbilt held the ball for more than 9 minutes and outgained the Gamecocks 86-30.

Then Robinette went to the locker room with an apparent injury after he started 4 of 5 for 55 yards.

Freebeck came on, and the Commodores stalled.

The Gamecocks took control scoring with a 45-yard field goal by Elliott Fly, a 29-yard pass from Thompson to Damiere Byrd for a TD. Vanderbilt was driving when Freebeck threw off his back foot and was intercepted by Williams.

Vanderbilt had its chances to recover three fumbles in the second half only to see the Gamecocks get the ball back each time.

NFL to implement new policies

BY BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK — More defiant than contrite, Roger Goodell announced no sweeping changes in his first public statements in more than a week of turmoil surrounding the NFL’s handling of players accused of crimes.

The commissioner was definitive about one thing: He has not considered resigning.

Goodell was short on specifics Friday as he discussed how he would address the rash of domestic violence incidents in the league. He said the NFL wants to implement new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl.

“Unfortunately, over the past several weeks, we have seen all too much of the NFL doing wrong,” he said in his opening statement. “That starts with me.”

The league has faced increasing criticism that it has not acted quickly or emphatically enough. The commissioner reiterated that he botched the handling of the Ray Rice case.

“The same mistakes can never be repeated,” he said.

Goodell said he would meet with NFL Players Association chief DeMaurice Smith next week, and they would work with outside experts to evaluate the league’s policies.

Among the areas that will be examined is Goodell’s role in discipline. The commissioner now oversees all personal conduct cases, deciding guilt and penalties.

He will establish a committee to review NFL personal conduct, seeking experts in the area of domestic abuse and violence to serve on it. Goodell’s role with such a committee was not directly addressed.

“Nothing is off the table,” he said.

One of the key questions is how to balance the league’s desire to take a stance against violent acts with the due process requirements — and the sometimes slow pace — of the legal system. Goodell indicated the league is considering becoming “engaged” in the investigation process while law enforcement is still handling its probes.

Goodell said he believes he has the support of the NFL’s owners, his bosses.

“That has been clear to me,” he said.

The commissioner and some NFL teams have been heavily criticized for lenient or delayed punishment of Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in recent domestic violence cases. Less than three weeks into the season, five such cases have made headlines.

Vikings star running back Peterson and Carolina defensive end Greg Hardy are on a special commissioner’s exemption list and are being paid while they go through the legal process.

Arizona running back Jonathan Dwyer was placed on the reserve/ non-football illness list, meaning he can’t play for the team again this season.

Ray McDonald, a defensive end for San Francisco, continues to practice and play while being investigated on suspicion of domestic violence.

Groups such as the National Organization of Women and league partners and sponsors have come down hard on the NFL to be more responsive in dealing with them.

Congress also is watching to see how the NFL reacts.

NOW President Terry O’Neill reiterated her calls for Goodell to resign.

“NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell today did nothing to increase confidence in his ability to lead the NFL out of its morass,” O’Neill said in a statement.

“What Mr. Goodell doesn’t seem to understand is that he should be aiming to make fundamental changes in the organization.”

Rice was initially suspended for two games.

Goodell admitted more than a month later that he “didn’t get it right” and an-

nounced tougher penalties for future domestic violent incidents.

After video emerged of the assault, the Baltimore Ravens cut the star running back and the league banned him indefinitely.

Goodell reiterated Friday that he didn’t believe anybody at the NFL had seen the video before it was published by TMZ. The Associated Press reported last week that a law enforcement official says he sent the video to a league executive five months ago.

Citing Rice’s appeal of his suspension, Goodell declined to specify Friday how the player’s description of what happened was “inconsistent” with what the video showed — the commissioner’s reason for changing his punishment.

The NFL asked former FBI director Robert Mueller to conduct an investigation into the league’s handling of the Rice case.

The law firm where Mueller is now a partner, WilmerHale, has connections to the NFL. Goodell insisted Friday that it wasn’t a conflict of interest because Mueller himself has not previously worked with the league.

Goodell acknowledged he has learned that interviewing Rice and his nowwife together is an inappropriate way to handle a domestic violence case.

Man makes a name in motorsport drifting

BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

DJ Thornton is a drifter.

And it’s a good thing.

In the 25-year-old Thrasher resident’s world, drifting is a motorsport with crazy cool driving and much more.

“Competitive drifting is judged by speed, line and angle of your car during drift,” Thornton says.

“Plus there is overall impact you have on the fans and judges with style. The neat thing about drifting is everyone has their own style of driving. It’s unique like a fingerprint.

No matter what car one person drives, you know who’s driving it.”

In describing the motor sport itself, Thornton says drifting can either be done on competitive level or just to go out learning car control and enjoying driving “like a mad person in a safe environment.”

“That’s what I love about this sport,” he says.

“Competition isn’t your only option. We all enjoy it together.”

He said another great aspect of drifting is one doesn’t have to be white collar to join and attend events.

“Of course it will save you money as well if you have mechanical knowledge and can build your own car, but it doesn’t take a complete over-thetop modified car to start, either.”

This year Thornton competed in the Tennessee State of Drift in Memphis. He qualified third and finished second.

He had two tandem battles prior to the final bout between him and Hooman Rahimi driving a Nissian 350Z. It was a close one for the judges to decide but in the end it was decided Thornton finished second overall.

“One of those judges at the event, Nick Swann of Midwest Drift Union Pro-Am Series, and also the person to invite me to drive at the HollyLSfest, added it was great to see raw talent. At the end of the day I guess Hooman and myself both walked away with great prizes and opportunity.

“For only driving this new chassis setup three times total and twice this year, I really can’t complain with a second place finish,” he said.

Thornton began drifting in March 2010.

“Using what knowledge I had from the Internet and controlling the out of control since a young age, it was a perfect fit. I will always remember that day forever because at age 20 it has really formed my young adulthood. The things I’ve created out of that day overwhelms me with happiness, joy and any other emotion I can attempt to describe it with.”

He now drives a 1995 Nissan 240sx with a 1999 Chevrolet V8 5.7 liter LS1 engine. It makes 400 horsepower at the rear wheels.

“This car is a rocket

ship, for lack of a betterm. I use this car for competitive driving, though, you don’t really need that to drift or compete either. I just enjoy the horsepower and it’s a great advantage over some competitors.

“In this sport you’ll find many other types of cars.

I chose the 240sx for the selection of aftermarket parts and its great suspension geometry.”

Initially, although he had heard of drifting and seen videos, because of the area where he lives, the Prentiss County resident had no hope of ever getting to try it out.

“I was with some gearhead car friends one night and someone brought up Traction Optional was having an event in Holly Springs. I dropped everything I was doing to go watch the event that weekend. As I watched in amazement the only thing I could picture was building myself a car. By the next season I was on the track,” he said.

He wishes more areas in North Mississippi offered drifting events.

Presently Holly Springs is the only known location in the state where events are held.

Drifting events bring in many people meaning profits for the cities and states if promoted properly, he said.

The nearest place for Formula Drift, the professional series, is Atlanta, where it is held yearly.

“That event has the largest spectator attendance out of all the other series events held in the United States ... the South is getting on board with this sport,” he said.

The nearest events Thornton has driven in are mostly Traction Optional events in Holly Springs and Memphis.

He has also driven in Nashville, Huntsville and Atlanta.

The 2007 Thrasher High School graduate began kart racing in the 9th grade, finishing third in his first event.

He knew then he had something most didn’t.

“And here I am today, still chasing that dream.”

From time to time he has questioned himself about what he is doing because nothing about it is conventional.

“Not long ago I had an older man question me about my car and drifting. I was getting in my car to leave and the man said, ‘Go for it. This is a short life we live.’ That is something I’ve always told myself and to hear him say this gave me a sense of completeness that I needed. I will never forget that coming from someone who is living his final years.”

Thornton is the son of Dean and Tammy Thornton of Thrasher. He works part-time at his father’s business, Thornton and Sons Cabinet.

In 2012 he had an opportunity to drive in California after being selected from over 8,000 submis-

ter

Thrasher’s DJ Thornton won second place in the Tennessee State of Drift in Memphis. Making the presentation is Hayley Anna Harber. sions to be on a TV show hosted by Ford called “Octane Academy” covering four of the smaller known motorsports.

He was selected for Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s camp and finished second overall. Had he finished first he would have won a new 2013 Mustang GT. In the finals he was plagued with some bad luck and over thinking.

“After watching myself at home on TV it taught me a few things I needed to fix about my mental state of driving.”

Thanks to his competitive nature, he can be his own biggest fan and worst critic all rolled into one.

Thornton had an important event coming up last weekend in Bowling Green, Ky. “The event was Holly Performance LSfest, kind of like Super Chevy held in Memphis. LSfest is a weekend event that involves car shows, drag

racing, drifting and autocross,” he said.

The drift event held is by invitation only because the weekend is televised at a later date.

“Being invited to drive at this event opens many doors for me so hopefully I can make something of it.”

He was pleased to bring home a fourth place finish, and that was competing with drifting veterans.

“Finishing in fourth place was as much of a win as I could ask for being only my second competition and also in a field of seasoned veterans of drifting,” he said.

“It was a tremendously tough battle with every driver, especially after limited tandem practice.

I was finally paired with Nate Hamilton from Texas, who is a Formula Drift professional driver and he knocked me out of the chase for first place.

I’ve been told it was the

best tandem battle of the event and it was a pleasure driving against such a talented guy.”

Next Thornton will be driving again in Memphis on Sept. 27 at Memphis International Raceway.

“I hope to see everyone there and I can’t wait to venture through my next path in this sport,” he said.

As for now drifting is a hobby for Thornton but he would be happy for it to be a career.

“I love everything about this sport. The people you connect with, the kids that look up to you, and people that turn to you for advice. The people who make a career out of any motor sport do much more than just drive cars fast. They inspire people, they change lives. You come to a point on this path I’m leading where you become a public figure and not just some guy playing around in a car.

“I’ve slowly crept to that point since 2010 and I really need to push over the edge. It’s something I want more than anything.”

The things Thornton has accomplished since 2010 with the little driving he has done are nothing short of spectacular.

“This is where your dreams become a hard reality. The higher you climb the more funding you need. Most would give up by now but I just can’t. The life I’ve made with this simple sport called drifting is exactly where I need to be.”

Sponsorship is difficult to find because in order to promote that sponsor properly, sponsors need to have national or international businesses.

“Sponsorship in a professional drifting series is a very important part and I want to be able to back Please see DRIFTER | 3B

Wildlife can make for a scary walk in the Mississippi woods

BY BRIAN BROOM The Clarion-Ledger

JACKSON — Fall weather is fast approaching and with it comes the call of the wild.

Families will pack up for camping trips, hikers will set out on nature walks and hunters will take to the woods.

Mississippi has a beauty all its own and abundant wildlife to enjoy, but a sampling of opinions on the Clarion-Ledger’s Outdoors Facebook page indicated there are things out there that folks would rather not run into.

Some are four-legged, some

have two legs and others have none.

At the top of the list are snakes, especially the venomous varieties.

The Magnolia State is home to 6 venomous species, including the eastern diamondback rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake, pygmy rattlesnake, the coral snake, the cottonmouth and the most common of all, the copperhead.

The upside to the numbers of venomous snakes is that bites are almost always avoidable.

“Eighty-five to 90 percent of snake bites happen while some-

one is trying to kill it,” said Terry Vandeventer of Byram.

Vandeventer, a herpetologist, explained there is no reason to try to kill a snake.

Contrary to popular belief, he said, snakes are not aggressive, do not chase people and just want to be left alone.

If a venomous snake — or one that can’t be identified — is encountered, Vandeventer has a simple rule to stay out of harm’s way.

“Take two steps back and walk away,” Vandeventer said.

“At two steps, you’re out of danger of any North American

snake.”

Mississippi also has a wild pig problem, and it’s growing.

As the population increases, so does the chance of encountering one.

Capable of achieving weights in excess of 1,000 pounds and sporting razor-sharp tusks, the animals are a force to be respected.

Like most wildlife, a hog’s typical reaction to human contact is to run away. But if it feels threatened or cornered, the outcome could become quite different.

“Any large mammal like that,

when it feels threatened, it’s going to make a run at you,” said Bronson Strickland, Mississippi State University extension wildlife specialist. “They are going to try to eat you alive if they’re cornered.”

The solution seems simple — don’t corner a wild hog. Unfortunately, they aren’t always predictable.

Monty Campbell of Georgetown said he was driving a golf car around his farm earlier this year looking for hogs with his dog running ahead of him.

Celebrations

Wedding showers break tradition Rain showers on a wedding day may bring good luck, but they are seldom coveted. However, a different type of shower altogether is often highly anticipated and can help couples feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one in a million.

Wedding showers are gift-giving parties held for couples about to get married. The custom began in the nineteenth century and continues to present day, primarily in North America and Australia. Guests traditionally â&#x20AC;&#x153;showerâ&#x20AC;? the bride-to-be with all the necessities (and some fun extras) that she will need after she ties the knot. These gifts will help the soon-to-bemarried couple establish a home together.

Bridal showers are steeped in tradition, but todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bridal showers continue to veer off the beaten path. TheKnot. com, a website that aims to help couples plan their weddings, identifies these key trends in modern bridal showers. â&#x20AC;˘ Couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; showers: Modern couples who like to be all-inclusive are now planning bridal showers that cater to mixed audiences. Dubbed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;couple shower,â&#x20AC;? these parties include female and male friends and relatives.

Gifts are still the main focus, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re varied and include guy-friendly items, too. â&#x20AC;˘ Power showers: Many are familiar with the terms â&#x20AC;&#x153;man caveâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;bromance,â&#x20AC;? but few may know that there are now wedding

showers geared entirely around the groom.

Known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;power showers,â&#x20AC;? these events focus on the groom-to-be, who is showered with a bevy of gadgets and power tools that are certain to stock his future garage. The parties are decidedly more testosterone-friendly and can include golf outings, poker nights or action movie flicks. â&#x20AC;˘ Destination/activity showers: Rather than having guests hang around a restaurant watching gift after gift get unwrapped, some bridal parties opt to throw an activity shower. These showers are focused around a particular activity. For example, ladies may be treated to a day at the spa. Other ideas include horseback riding at a stable or a day at the ballpark. â&#x20AC;˘ Bride-involved showers: The idea of walking into a room and being surprised by friends and family members is appealing to some brides-to-be but not everyone. Some brides prefer not to be surprised by a shower and actually would like to have a role in the planning of the party.

However, this is delicate ground on which to tread, considering there may be differences over where the party is held and even the overall experience of the party.

These type of showers should be discussed before any plans are made, and tasks should be delegated in accordance with those plans.

WILDLIFE CONTINUED FROM 1B

“The dog just stopped suddenly and was looking intently at something,” Campbell said.

Campbell grabbed a shotgun and went to evaluate the situation. When he came to an opening in the bushes, he saw a pig and it charged him.

“It was coming wide open straight at me,” Campbell said.

The pig was about 30 yards away when Campbell fired and killed it.

Campbell said it happened quickly. Afterward, he realized how serious the situation was.

Then there are the cats.

Habitat change and hunting are said to have wiped out panthers in Mississippi over 100 years ago, but sightings

and fear of them linger.

“Over the last 30 years, I’ve had hundreds of calls about panthers,” said Richard Rummel, exotic species program director for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

To his disappointment, none of the reports panned out.

Rummel said there is still the possibility panthers could have returned.

Populations are found in Texas and Florida and individuals have been known to roam long distances. Rummel also said there have been confirmed sightings of the big cats in Louisiana in recent years.

“It’s possible,” Rummel said. “It’s not probable, but it’s possible.”

Crossword

If a panther is sighted, Rummel said shouting and throwing sticks or other objects at it to scare it away is the best plan of action. Running away is not.

“Don’t turn and run,” Rummel said. “That will trigger that predator/ prey response and they may want to take you down.”

Legends of mysterious and frightening creatures are probably as old as mankind.

In Mississippi, no legendary being has gained more attention than Bigfoot, and believers say these beasts are not to be taken lightly.

“I’ve had people get their house beat on,” said Donald McDonald of Brandon. “A pit bull got his head ripped off

a few years ago. I know people who’ve been fishing and had a boulder a foot in diameter thrown at them.”

McDonald, a Bigfoot researcher associated with the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization, said sightings are not uncommon.

“I get 12 to 15 reports a year,” McDonald said.

“I’ve got other research buddies and I’m sure they get more too.”

Because many who may have encountered the unknown animals fear ridicule for what they’ve seen, McDonald said most reports never become public.

But McDonald doesn’t worry about what nonbelievers think and said he has seen a Bigfoot.

McDonald and other researchers were combing a wooded area in Bienville National Forest on a moonlit night when they say they saw a 7.5-foot tall creature.

With ample light and a clear view, McDonald said there was no question as to what was standing in front of them. The beast soon vanished into the wild.

Though the Creatures — whatever they are — may display aggressive behavior, McDonald said they are generally shy and not a threat.

“Most of them don’t want anything to do with you,” he said.

Woodhouse—Mathis Betsy Allen Woodhouse and John Thomas Mathis were united in marriage at 7 o’clock in the evening on May 30, 2014, in the chapel of Oak Hill Farm and Stables in Oxford.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Thomas Woodhouse of Corinth. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Burgess Darnell, Jr., Mr. George Allen Woodhouse, and the late Mrs. Peggy Allen Woodhouse, all of Corinth.

The groom is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Phillips Mathis of Corinth.

He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Taft Ford Little of Corinth, Ms. Margaret Phillips Mathis of Tupelo, and the late Dr. Robert E. Mathis of Corinth.

The Rev. Dennis Smith and the Rev. Jason Marshall of First Baptist Church in Corinth performed the double-ring ceremony.

The groom’s brothers, Dr. Taylor Mathis and Mr. Ben Mathis, provided vocal and guitar music for the occasion.

Escorted by her father and given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore an exquisite ivory strapless lace dress designed by Stella York which featured a trumpet skirt and satin sash.

The back of the gown was adorned with satin covered buttons that gave way to a chapel train.

She carried a traditional hand-tied bouquet of antique garden roses, peonies, sweet peas, and hydrangeas in shades of blush and white. Tucked inside her bouquet were her mother’s gold bracelet and an embroidered handkerchief in memory of her late grandmother, Peggy.

Attending the bride as her maid of honor was her cousin, Miss McKenzie Darnell. She wore a floor length strapless blush chiffon dress and carried a bouquet of blush and white garden roses and peonies.

Flower girls were Misses Morgan and Millie Mathis, nieces of the groom. They wore white ballerina-length dresses with soutache trim at the bodice, full toile skirts, and pink satin ribbons at the waist. They carried white baskets trimmed in pink ribbons.

Dr. Robert Phillips Mathis, father of the groom, served as best man.

Following the ceremony, the bride’s parents entertained guests with a reception at Oak Hill.

Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner buffet, along with traditional wedding cake and cheesecake with a variety of toppings.

After honeymooning at the beach, the couple is at home in Oxford where they are students at the University of Mississippi.

Most other motor sports you find vigorous competition and people that get upset over everything that doesn’t go their way. I understand why they do this ... love, pride, passion ... I raced karts for three years starting at age 15. It’s addictive — I get it.

“Drifting has the same levels of competition, if one chooses, without the drama. We all are just glad to be there doing something we love and would do every day if possible.

“I just want to thank everyone who has made this all possible. Even though I haven’t made it to the top yet, I have no reason to believe I can’t. Without all of you I wouldn’t have made it this far, nor would the sport itself. We all make this sport what it is and I’m humbled to be

a part of it.”

my sponsors to the best of my ability.”

The sport is growing faster every year and he doesn’t see it slowing down anytime soon. He said both the Formula Drift professional series and Traction Optional have been up and growing for over 10 years now.

Another way to describe drifting is a love of all cars and “friendship one can’t imagine without being part of the sport.” One of the best aspects of drifting is everyone is there for each other. “We all stick together no matter your skill level.

“I have met people from all over the country and many new friends just from this sport. It’s amazing when I think about it.

Dr. Robert Shappley helps others see life

BY CAROL HUMPHREYS For the Daily Corinthian

Dr. Robert Shappley practices his profession in an unassuming building built in 1960 tucked away on a side street in downtown Corinth.

Upon meeting the optometrist, one realizes his focus is not on what surrounds him, but on how his patients see the world. The doctor quickly puts his patients at ease with his broad smile and lighthearted conversation.

Though he was born and reared in Tupelo, Corinth has always been a part of Shappley’s life. He points out his office window at a two-story white house with a top floor balcony located behind the Foote Street Church of Christ.

“Mom used to wait for Santa there at her grandparents’ house,” he commented.

The house located at Bunch and Madison Streets has a historical marker at its entrance describing it as “New Hope.” It was built in 1875 and was home to Shappley’s great-grandparents. His grandfather, Howard Meeks, grew up there.

“When we moved to Corinth, most of my relatives who lived here were already out at Henry Cemetery,” said the 54-year-old physician. “But I remember as a child coming up here from Tupelo to visit them. It was a long haul. There was such a feeling of relief when we’d come to the old concrete weigh station at what is now old Hwy. 45 and Highway 72. It signaled we had arrived in Corinth and could finally get out of the car!”

Much of Shappley’s early life centered around Reed’s Department Store in downtown Tupelo where his father, the late Wade Shappley, managed the men’s department for 54 years.

“Reed’s was my background growing up,” he said. “I still occasionally meet people who remember my dad.”

His mother, Ruth Shappley, was a bookkeeper at Gravlee Lumber Company. She now lives close to her son and his family in Corinth.

Shappley attended high school in Tupelo where he was involved in a variety of extracurricular activities including being a member of the Key Club, running cross-country and involved in theater.

When asked how he became interested in optometry, he laughed and said he had really bad eyes as a child.

“A lot of eye doctors say that,” he added, smiling.

His father’s cousin, W.M. Dickerson, practiced optometry in Tupelo and Dickerson’s son, Bill Jr., currently practices there. As a youngster, Shappley was a regular patient at the eye clinic and became interested in the profession.

As a young man, he attended Harding University and the University of Mississippi and received his un-

dergraduate degree in 1982. He received his doctorate degree at Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tenn. in 1986. The young doctor practiced in Tupelo for a few years, then took a sabbatical and got a law degree at University of Mississippi School of Law. “I received my license to practice law, but never practiced,” said Shappley. “I missed patient contact and was soon back in a white coat.”

The physician met his wife, Shelaine, at Ole Miss.

She is the daughter of Ivy and the late Betty Evans of Corinth. Though her mother’s family was from Corinth, Shelaine grew up all over the United States as an “Air Force brat.” She is now a paralegal with Mitchell McNutt in Tupelo and Corinth.

In 1993 after he got out of law school, Shappley began looking for somewhere to practice optometry. He discovered Dr. Jack Hora in Corinth was looking for a partner and began working with him. He continued to commute to Corinth from Tupelo for seven years, finally moving with his family to Corinth in 2000.

Shappley’s daughters, Amelia and Avery, attended

Corinth city schools. Amelia, 23, currently works at Renasant Bank in Corinth while Avery, 17, is a senior at Corinth High School. The family man admits he was anxious about the pending empty nest syndrome but after she graduated from Freed Hardeman this past December, his eldest daughter moved back home.

“It’s pretty much like old times, which I like,” he said.

The father said Corinth has been a good place for his children to grow up.

“It has been to their advantage that we moved here and reared them here,” he said. “In addition to the many positive aspects of living here such as a good school system, there have been times in my children’s life at events where people have prayed. You just don’t see much of that anymore in today’s world, but Corinthians aren’t afraid to pray or express their faith, which I find very valuable.”

The busy doctor said he and his family don’t travel Please see SHAPPLEY | 4

often but that in the past few years, he and his wife have occasionally gone to Charleston, S.C., for a getaway.

“I love the coastline and city of Charleston. We found the beaches at St. Augustine’s prettier, but we are not sun -worshippers. We need a town to knock around in before spending the early evening hours on the beach,” he said.

At his clinic in Corinth, a small inexpensive mandolin hangs on the wall near the examination rooms. The music lover said it was the first instrument he ever bought and it made good “wall art.”

Shappley went on to say he does play the octave mandolin, though he is not a “great” musician. He explained the octave mandolin is a large version of the mandolin but an octave lower. It is similar to the guitar and an instrument used often in Celtic music, a genre he enjoys playing along with folk music.

Shappley commented he was also a “professional writer.” A humorous story he had written was published in Reader’s Digest in 1997. The doctor remarked he received a $400 check in the mail after the publication almost completely rewrote his story.

“I was a little offended they had rewritten my article,” he said, his eyes crinkling with amusement. “When I told my cousin, a commercial artist in Nashville, this, he replied, ‘Hey, you got paid for it, didn’t you?’”

Still, writing is something the health professional wished he had more time to pursue.

“I received a very nice compliment while I was at Ole Miss,” he said. “The grad student who was teaching my English Comp class called me into his office one day and told me I wrote really well. He asked me what I planned on doing with my life. I replied I was in the pre-med program and that was that. He dropped the subject.”

“I have sat down to write the great American novel a few times but after the first page, that was the end of it,” he chuckled.

Shappley also started teaching himself Italian about five years ago. He commented he had a positive start on learn-

Dr. Robert Shappley gives an eye exam. ing the language which he said “rolls trippingly off the tongue” but has lost some of it in recent years due to his busy schedule.

The eye doctor said he often pursues “little” interests now and then, but his passion is a love of history. He said he seldom took history courses as an undergrad because he already knew so much of it.

As far as current history and politics, he admits he stopped keeping up with it because it had become so bad. He’d rather watch “The Big Bang Theory,” he said jokingly.

Shappley is also a member of the Kiwanis Club in Corinth, a civic organization that raises money to provide service projects to families and the community such as scholarships.

Another important element in his life is his church, Foote Street Church of Christ, where he is one of four elders and a church administrator.

As for his profession, it is evident

Shappley enjoys helping his patients have the benefit of their most valuable human sense – their sight.

“I appreciate the texture of my profession and love talking to my patients.

Everybody has their own story,” he said.

“There is a lot of fun in the simplest things. Like when I see a child who is nearsighted and has never remembered the world being clear. You put a pre-

scription in front of them and all a sudden their world changes. They can see individual leaves and the grass almost looks too sharp to walk on.”

“That is a basic part of my working day,” he added. “But it is always neat.”

Relief of leg pain & swelling due to venous disease

BY ANGEL A. RODRIGUEZ MD, RVT, RPVI American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine Diplomate

Approximately 25 million adults in the United States suffer from treatable, symptomatic, venous disease. Symptoms of venous disease range from leg heaviness, pain or tenderness, burning, restless legs, night cramps, leg swelling, skin changes and leg ulcers.

Venous disease occurs when a vein is not functioning properly, causing a disturbance in normal blood flow. The cause of most vein problems is venous insufficency. This happens when veins widen and stretch (dilate) and the valves are not able to close properly. Because of this, diseased veins have difficulty carrying blood back to the heart.

Many patients with venous insufficiency present with large varicose veins.

Varicose veins are large swollen veins

that bulge under the skin and are typically blue or green in color.

An abnormal valve or a weakened vessel wall causes the bulging. While many patients have the outward appearances of venous disease such as varicose veins, others have little or no visible signs of the disease.

Conservative Therapy Whether it is large varicose veins or pain and swelling, patients can benefit from the use of conservative therapy measures. The conservative therapy measures include a combination of daily leg elevations and the use of compression stockings. Leg elevations consist of

Diagnosis Ultrasound has proven a valuable tool in the diagnosis of venous disease. For years, our goal with venous duplex has been to check for blood clots or DVT. With new developments in medicine, we can now identify the anatomy and flow profiles of superficial venous system thus diagnosing insufficiency. We can now isolate the areas of insufficiency or reflux and target these specific veins for laser therapy or other procedures to improve patient’s quality of life.

symptoms. Graduated compression refers to increased compression at the ankle (30mmHg) and less compression at the knee (20mmHg). This graduated compression increases venous return and decreases swelling in the leg. Note: You should put your hose on in the early morning and remove them before bedtime. These conservative measures should help with the symptoms of venous disease; however, it is not a cure.

Treatment Options The commonly used treatment options for venous disease include; compression therapy, thermal ablation, sclerotherapy, phlebectomy and high ligation and stripping. Most experts in the field of venous disease consider thermal ablation to be the safest, simplest, and most effective treatment type in producing the best long-term results when treating problems associated with the superficial venous system.

Our center specializes in the endovenous laser ablation technique (EVLA).

This thermal ablation procedure uses a minimally invasive endovenous laser to treat varicose veins and is a clinically proven alternative to traditional ligation and stripping surgery. It requires no general anesthesia and offers minimal risk and shorter recovery time.

The laser delivers a precise dose of energy into the vein wall, collapsing it. This process, called ablation, cures the condition and diverts blood flow to nearby functional veins. The resulting increased circulation significantly reduces the symptoms of varicose veins and improves their surface appearance.

The EVLT treatment generally takes less than one hour in the office and offers immediate relief with minimal-tono scarring. Patients can usually resume normal activities immediately with minimal or no pain. The success rate of the EVLT procedure is as high as 98 percent and is covered by most insurance.

MRHC honored with Mission: Lifeline achievement award

BY BEN TUCKER MRHC Director of Marketing and Public Relations

Magnolia Regional Health Center has received the Mission Lifeline Gold Receiving Quality Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

Each year in the United States, approximately 250,000 people have a STEMI, or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, caused by a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to immediately restore blood flow, either by surgically opening the blocked vessel or by giving clot-busting medication.

The American Heart Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mission: Lifeline program helps hospitals, emergency medical services and communities improve response times so people who suffer from a STEMI receive

prompt, appropriate treatment. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to streamline systems of care to quickly get heart attack patients from the first 9-1-1 call to hospital treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MRHC is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our all of our patients,â&#x20AC;? said Ronny Humes, CEO of Magnolia Regional Health Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Receiving this recognition not only affirms that we as a hospital are being held to a certain standard in cardiac care, but it ensures that our patients will receive the timely and quality care that they need if the need arises. I am very proud of the hard work and efforts of our team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We commend Magnolia Regional Health Center for this achievement award, which reflects a significant institutional commitment to improve the quality of care for their heart attack patients,â&#x20AC;? said A. Gray Ellrodt, MD, chair of the Mission: Lifeline committee and chief of medicine at the Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All too many heart attack patients in the

United States still fail to receive appropriate treatment for their life-threatening condition within the recommended timeframes. We must all continue this important work to streamline and coordinate regional systems of care to save lives and prevent complications.â&#x20AC;?

MRHC earned the award by meeting specific criteria and standard of performance for the quick and appropriate

treatment of STEMI patients to open the blocked artery. Before patients are discharged, they are started on aggressive risk education therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, aspirin, ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, and they receive smoking cessation counseling if needed. Eligible hospitals must adhere to these measures at a set level for a designated period to receive the awards.

Learn about radiation therapy

BY MICAH MONAGHAN, MD Cancer may be the scariest word that a physician ever tells a patient.

Radiation therapy may be the second most intimidating term for that same patient. This is likely because radiation is shrouded in mystery and myth and seems inaccessible to the general public.

Most people have personal experience with surgery, and nearly all have observed patients who have lost their hair from chemotherapy, thus feeling a passing familiarity with chemoMonaghan therapy. Fewer patients receive radiotherapy and the effects of treatment are often invisible, so this valuable treatment is not as well known in the general population.

This article attempts to familiarize the

general public with radiation therapy and dispel some of the fear that comes from inadequate knowledge of the treatment.

First, a few statistics may highlight how commonly radiation is used to help cancer patients. Nearly two-thirds of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy at some point during their illness.

At least 75 percent of patients are treated with the intent to cure their cancer. The remainder of patients receive radiation to control the growth of their tumor or to relieve symptoms like pain; treatment to relieve symptoms without intent of cure is called palliative radiation. Palliative radiation may span from 1 to 15 treatments. Curative radiation usually requires 15 to 45 treatments depending on tumor type and other treatments received. Consequently, the “average” radiation patient receives 5-6 weeks of Please see RADIATION | 15

New cataract lens technologies makes for promising future

BY DR. JOHN R. SHIPP, M.D. Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in the United States, with about 3 million surgeries every year. With a recent surge of baby boomers reaching the age of 65, more and more people desire cataract surgery to improve their vision.

Thankfully, modern cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures performed Shipp in the country today.

Most patients having cataract surgery will receive an artificial intraocular lens implant (or IOL).

After the cloudy cataract lens has been removed, this new, clear lens implant allows light to pass through and focus vision properly. The IOL becomes a permanent part of the eye. Until re-

cently, all patients received a traditional monofocal IOL. These IOLs provide clear vision at one distance, either close up or far away. But the monofocal IOLs cannot correct for eye conditions such as astigmatism (vision distortion due to an oval-shaped eye) or presbyopia (difficulty seeing up close after the age of 40).

Recent advances in IOL technology have brought about the ability to correct astigmatism or presbyopia. Yet, these advanced IOLs are only the beginning of newer technologies that will be available in the coming years. I will discuss a few of these exciting advances below.

problems people face is presbyopia, which is the need for “readers” to see up close around age 40. The FluidVision accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) technology will restore the vision of youth to people affected by presbyopia.

The fluid-controlled IOLs utilize natural forces within the eye to shift fluid in the lens, resulting in a change in shape of the lens. This change results in restoring the eye’s ability to see things up close, giving patients the reading ability of a 35 year old. FluidVision® is currently in clinical studies in Europe and is expected to begin FDA clinical trials in the U.S. after more data is received from overseas studies.

Depending on the visual potential remaining in the eye, an iolAMD patient could regain the ability to drive, read or see faces - significantly improving their quality of life. This ground breaking new procedure is as safe as routine cataract surgery and is an exciting new alternative for patients with macular disease. iolAMD has achieved approval for use in Europe, but is not currently available in the U.S., although preparations for FDA clinical trials are being made.

What is BPPV? Condition is benign but problematic

BY STEPHANIE DILLON What is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)?

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. Benign means not life threatening but to individuals who are affected by BPPV symptoms, the symptoms are life changing. Paroxysmal is a response, typically nystagmus which is involuntary eye movement from side to side, which Dillon builds, peaks, fatigues and is not continuous.

Change in head or body position with daily activities such as bending forward to read a book, bending head backwards to wash your hair in the shower or turning head to left or right as when rolling over in bed can trigger the response.

Vertigo is the sensation of movement usually described as spinning or turning of self or environment.
