Torrential rains flood local streets BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
More than four inches of heavy rainfall brought flooding to streets throughout Corinth Friday night, but no major damage was reported from the deluge. Corinth Street Commission-
er Phillip Verdung said water covered streets in several areas with the most severe flooding found on Harper Road near the Alcorn County Justice Center where as much as a foot of water stood in the road from the west entrance to the Crossroads Arena to the middle en-

trance to the Justice Center. Waters also rose along Oak Lane, under the city’s railroad underpasses, and along the unnamed creek that crosses Bunch, Foot, Waldron, Cruise, Proper and Wick streets. The parking lot of Harper Square Mall was also briefly underwa-
ter. Verdung said he has seen rainfall estimates of as much as 4.9 inches overnight and believes the area averaged around 4 inches with as much as 6 inches falling in some locations. Street Department workers
were out until around 5 a.m. Saturday morning clearing debris and making certain all roads were passable. While the waters rose during the heaviest period of rainfall, they also receded quickly when

Program teaches offenders way of thinking BY JOSEPH MILLER jmiller@dailycorinthian.com
Mississippi Department of Corrections honored recent graduates at the Northeast Mississippi Community College Corinth campus Friday. Five graduates received a certificate of completion in a ceremony held for the “Thinking for a Change” program that started more than a decade ago. The National Institute of Corrections originally set this program up for the juvenile criminal justice system but the program has evolved over
the past few years, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections Program coordinator director, Jessica Mills. “Over the past years this has progressed into the Adult Criminal Justice system,” explained Mills. “It is primarily set up for offenders who have completed the Regimented Inmate Discipline Program. The program teaches offenders about key life skills and the key ways to use those skills.” The goal of the program is to reduce the recidivism rate by
teaching the offenders a new way of handling situations. By doing this, Mills says that they hope that the offenders do not become repeat offenders. “The curriculum covers cognitive self change,” Mills said. “It also helps with social skills and problem solving skills.” These classes met for an hour once a week for 28 weeks and this type of class is only the second of its kind to be successful in the local area. “Our first class like this was

Gunman’s employer seeks consulting work BY JACK GILLUM AND LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A little more than 24 hours after an IT contractor gunned down a dozen workers at the Washington Navy Yard, the CEO of the company he worked for sent an email to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus saying he has the experience to help the military improve its security. The email from The Experts chief Thomas Hoshko, which included
descriptions of his background and expertise, stunned some Navy leaders still reeling from the shooting rampage Monday that left 13 people dead, including the gunman, former Navy reservist Aaron Alexis. And it fueled concern over what defense officials believe may have been failures by the company to alert the military about Alexis’ apparent mental health problems. In the email, which was obtained by The Associ-
ated Press, Hoshko said he was “dramatically� affected by the incident and “my heart and prayers go out to the families and friends of those innocent victims.� But the email quickly moves on, as Hoshko lays out his work experience and offers his services, saying he is “confident that I can provide valuable input and solutions to the process that will provide better security for the military, contractors and civilians.� Navy officials confirmed that email was sent to Ma-
FAIR
bus, but they declined to characterize its contents. Florida-based The Experts declined to comment. Revelation of the email comes as the Navy and the Defense Department launch a series of shortand long-term reviews into Alexis’ Navy service history, the Pentagon’s security clearance procedures, overall safety at defense installations around the world and the responsibilities that contractors have in reviewing their workers and notifying the military
about potential problems. One of the first reviews ordered by Mabus into the nearly four years of Alexis’ troubled Navy career, is almost complete, according to the Navy. Mabus had asked for a review of Alexis’ service record to determine if his behavioral problems while in the Navy should have affected his ability to keep his security clearance. A secret security clearance is good for 10 years. It carries over, even if a worker leaves the military
and joins a private company, as long as the gap between the two jobs is not more than two years. As a result, Alexis’ clearance level was simply verified when he went to work for The Experts, but no additional research or checks were done. Officials have acknowledged that a lot of red flags may have been missed in the months and years before Alexis brought a sawed-off shotgun into Building 197 at the Navy Yard.

Corn disease spreads to crop
Today in history Today is Sunday, Sept. 22, the 265th day of 2013. There are 100 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:
Associated Press
On Sept. 22, 1776, Nathan Hale was hanged as a spy by the British during the Revolutionary War.
On this date: In 1792, the French Republic was proclaimed. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863. In 1927, Gene Tunney successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title against Jack Dempsey in the famous “long-count” fight in Chicago. In 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb. In 1950, Omar N. Bradley was promoted to the rank of five-star general, joining an elite group that included Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George C. Marshall and Henry H. “Hap” Arnold. In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued rules prohibiting racial discrimination on interstate buses. In 1964, the musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway, beginning a run of 3,242 performances. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed. (Moore served 32 years in prison before being paroled on Dec. 31, 2007.) In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war. In 1985, rock and country music artists participated in “FarmAid,” a concert staged in Champaign, Ill., to help the nation’s farmers. In 1989, songwriter Irving Berlin died in New York City at age 101. In 2001, President George W. Bush consulted at length with Russian President Vladimir Putin (POO’tihn) as the United States mustered a military assault on terrorism in the wake of Sept. 11.
NEW ORLEANS — A bacterial infection of corn called Goss’s wilt has been confirmed in four northeast Louisiana parishes — the farthest south it has been found, the LSU AgCenter says. And though it hasn’t yet shown up in Mississippi and Arkansas, experts there say it’s sure to happen. The disease creates circular patches of dead and wilting corn, said AgCenter plant pathologist Clayton Hollier. If leaves are infected, watery brown patches with dark water-soaked “freckles” near their edges will follow a wavy path along the veins. The bacteria also exude liquid that glistens when wet and dries to a shellac-like appearance. If it infects the system that carries moisture and nutrients throughout the plant, the stalk rots and becomes slimy, agriscientists say. Since it was first identified in 1969 in Lexington, Neb., Goss’s wilt has been
A suicide car bombing outside U.N. offices in Baghdad killed an Iraqi policeman. NATO allies picked Dutch Foreign Minister Jaap de Hoop Scheffer as the alliance’s next secretary-general. Actor Gordon Jump died at age 71.
Five years ago: Jury selection began in Washington for the federal corruption trial of Sen. Ted Stevens,R-Alaska. (Jurors later found that Stevens had lied on Senate financial disclosure forms to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and home renovations from a wealthy oil contractor, but the Justice Department later moved to dismiss the indictment because prosecutors had mishandled the case; Stevens lost his re-election bid.) Marjorie Knoller, whose dogs viciously attacked and killed her neighbor, Dianne Whipple, in their San Francisco apartment building in 2001, was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after her second-degree murder conviction was reinstated. The U.S. Mint unveiled the first changes to the penny in 50 years, with Abraham Lincoln’s portrait still on the obverse side, but new designs replacing the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse side.
One year ago: President Barack Obama campaigned before a crowd of 18,000 in Wisconsin, the home of GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi urged the government of Syria to bring an end to that country’s 18-monthold civil war. In the aftermath of the killing of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, residents of the Libyan city of Benghazi protested at the compounds of several militias, vowing to rid themselves of armed factions and Islamic extremists.
Clayton Hollier AgCenter plant pathologist found in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, according to an article on the University of Nebraska-Lexington website. “Until recent years the disease has not been a serious problem, but has re-emerged, particularly in the tri-state region of western Nebraska, northeast Colorado, and southeast Wyoming,” plant pathologist Tamra Jackson wrote. Hollier said confirmation of the disease “was a surprise to us because there’s a big gap between that historically developed area of the Midwest with Goss’s wilt and where we are.” Louisiana also grows far less corn. According to USDA statistics, Nebraska planted about 10.2 million acres this year and Kansas about 4.5 million.
Arkansas planted 1 million, Mississippi 950,000 and Louisiana 750,000, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Since June 18, Hollier said, infections have been found in Madison, Tensas, and East and West Carroll parishes. He said the bacteria can spread either through seed corn or by being blown from place to place. “How it got here I don’t know,” he said. It hasn’t shown up in Arkansas or Mississippi, but with infections so close it’s just a matter of time, said Jason Kelley, extension wheat and feed grains agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, and Tom Allen, a plant pathologist at Mississippi State University’s Delta Research and Ex-
tension Center in Stoneville, Miss. Although several Mississippi farmers thought their corn was infected this year, lab tests didn’t bear it out, Allen said. He noted that, just as many human diseases have flu-like symptoms, many diseases and problems — including drought stress — share the signs of Goss’s wilt. And, oddly enough, pivot irrigation can leave a sheen that looks like bacterial exudate, Allen said. “There are several other things that could do something pretty similar,” he said. Even when the disease is identified, there’s nothing much farmers can do to keep it from hurting their yield that season, he said. Farmers whose corn has been infected by Goss’s wilt should bury the stalks and leaves left in the field to try to cut their chances of a widespread outbreak next year, Hollier said. Rotating out of corn into other crops could help, too, he said.
Jury indicts man in Greenville robbery BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press
Ten years ago:
“There are several other things that could do something pretty similar.”
JACKSON — A federal grand jury has indicted a man on three charges related to a bank robbery in the Mississippi Delta that investigators say began with a bomb threat to a local school to divert police away from the heist. Wilbert Parish Jr. was indicted this week on two counts related to the robbery and another stemming from the bomb threat. His arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Greenville. He faces up to life in prison if con-
victed of the most serious charge. Federal public defender Greg Park had no comment on Friday. U.S. District Judge Allan Alexander ordered Parish held without bond, saying evidence suggests that he planned the robbery, supplied the guns and spent three days on the run, moving to multiple locations before being arrested. Parish was first charged Sept. 12 in a sealed criminal complaint along with three other people. An affidavit accompanying the complaint says three men rushed into Planters Bank

and Trust Company in Greenville on Sept. 10 and stole $600,425, though a dye pack exploded and it was recovered. Another suspect was the get-away driver, investigators say. The suspects are believed to have called in a bomb threat to the local high school “prior to the bank robbery in a possible attempt to divert law enforcement resources from the robbery.” The affidavit says one of the suspects overpowered the main teller, who tried to stall for time by telling the suspects that the vault was on a timer. “One of the suspects
then placed a gun to the teller’s head and told him to open the vault or he was going to shoot him,” the affidavit said. One of the suspects held a gun on the teller while another filled a black bag with money. The affidavit said police saw Parish drop the bag when the dye pack exploded as he ran away. Investigators say they traced ownership of a gun found in the bag to Parish. Court records said Parish is from Greenville and that he was born in 1982, though the documents on the court website did not list an exact age.
PROGRAM eas that would have normally flooded in the past stayed clear and the areas that did see high water when drainage was overwhelmed by the high volume cleared very quickly indicating drainage has improved. Verdung said the city continues to aggressively focus on improving and maintaining drainage routes to reduce the risk of future flooding problems.

Mills said these students were dedicated and she was very proud of them and they were thankful for all those who helped in the process. “Thanks to the Director of Northeast here in Corinth, Jason Maddox for letting us the facility today and to Tommy Wilson, officer Eric Harris, and Paula Cox for taking time out to speak with our graduates today,” Mills said.

Corinth, Miss.
Martin’s music was one of the echoes of Sun-N-Sand When I saw the obituary for Joe Martin in the Jackson newspaper, my mind shot back to a place that only exists in fading memories from three decades ago – the old Sun-NSand in Jackson. Martin, 85, died Sept. 15 in Forest. A longtime resident of the Harperville community in Scott County, Joe was a professional musician. From age five, Joe Martin was a natural. He could make the bass guitar walk and talk and Joe logged a 60-year career making Sid Salter stellar music. Columnist Along with such jazz greats as trumpeter Al Hirt and clarinet player Pete Fountain, Martin was a staff musician for WWL, the clear channel AM radio station that could be heard across the Gulf Coast in the daytime and across much of the U.S. at night. His wife, Irene Martin, is one of Mississippi’s best known pianists and for many years was the official pianist for the Mississippi Baptist Convention meetings. In her own right, Irene has had a remarkable career as a musician and recording artist performing both religious music and standards. Together, their music took them to California and there’s another column worth of stories about the musicians they performed with, the people they met and the places they performed. But after returning to Mississippi, one of the venues where Joe and Irene and their musician friends played regular gigs was the Sun-N-Sand. The Sun-N-Sand “motor hotel” was the brainchild of R.E. “Dumas” Miller in 1960, who brought a Polynesian motif to the place. As I’ve written before, my reaction in seeing the place in the early 1980s was that it was sort of a dump. But in that era, it was the “dump” of choice for most of the power brokers in the Mississippi Legislature and at the same time it was the place that I learned most of the lessons of value regarding any reasonable attempts at covering legislative news. After years of reading about the nocturnal excesses of legislators the supposedly endless parade of receptions and dinners and cocktail parties that made so many headlines I was prepared to visit the Sun-N-Sand and see the bacchanal first-hand. My first visit there was at the request of a young North Mississippi state representative from Monroe County. Now a federal judge, Michael P. Mills was in 1984 a freshman legislator from Aberdeen. Former House Speaker Billy McCoy of Rienzi was also one of my hosts. I was expecting to see a bunch of drunken middle-aged men slugging scotch and chasing secretaries. What I found was something different. I found a bunch of married guys living in cramped hotel rooms, sitting around in their bare feet and undershorts eating popcorn, parched peanuts, hoop cheese, Vienna sausages, and sardines and crackers. A few had drinks, but not many and not much. Most of the rooms had hot plates, dorm refrigerators or other small appliances. As in most places where men are in charge of decor and housecleaning, the place smelled like a goat and was not in danger of making the cover of Southern Living. Rent was by the month. I went back many times over the years most unannounced looking for legislators I’d learned who to trust and who seemed to trust me. I ate a lot of sardines. I heard a lot of stories. Got a lot of news and made a lot of friends. The hotel closed in October, 2001. My friend and legendary Mississippi newspaper man W.C. “Dub” Shoemaker introduced me to Joe and Irene Martin during a break at one of their performances at the Sun-N-Sand bar. Shoemaker and I had been sharing a table with then House Speaker C.B. “Buddie” Newman. We were trying to talk politics with Newman, but he was far more interested in enjoying Joe and Irene’s music and watching the action on the dance floor. There were a lot of politicos that Newman only knew as “scannelbooga” (a word that Newman coined combining “scoundrel” and “booger”), but the most powerful man in Mississippi in that era knew Joe and Irene Martin by their first names.

Prayer for today My Father, may I know the delight of true friendship which is responsive and sincere. May I never feel so secure in myself that I will cease to want friends, or be so dependent on others that I will be continually seeking them. May I understand the value of having a stanch friend and of being one. Amen.
Sun peeks through war clouds? Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck is sometimes credited with the proverb, “God has a special providence for fools, drunks and the United States of America.” Observing the unfolding of the Syrian crisis, the Iron Chancellor was an insightful man. In August, we were hours away from missile strikes on Syria and involvement in its civil war with the possibility that Hezbollah, Iran and Russia would be drawn in. Seeking a way out of the box into which he gotten himself with his “Assad Must Go!” and “red line” bluster, President Obama announced he was going to Congress to get its backing, before bombing. This ignited a Middle American uprising against Obama’s war. Then John Kerry said Syria could evade the terrible swift sword of Barack Obama only by surrendering all their chemical weapons within a week. Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, watching the United States careening toward a war that Russia no more wanted than did most of Congress, seized upon Kerry’s statement and said: Let us work together to rid Syria of chemical arms. Obama grabbed the life preserver. To say the War Party is apoplectic at Obama for blowing this chance to get us into war with Syria, which held real promise of sucking
us into a war with Iran, is an understatement. The worst peace scare in memory Pat is sweeping Buchanan through the think tanks Columnist of Washington. Conceding the incompetence of how Obama and Kerry got us into this mess, are we not in a far better place than a month ago? —A U.S. war on Syria has been averted. We are not killing Syrians. —Assad has conceded he has chemical weapons and has shown a willingness to have inspectors come in and remove it. —The chilly, almost Cold War-like relations between Obama and Putin have given way to cooperation in getting these chemical weapons chronicled and removed. —While this disarmament may take years, this is a powerful incentive for America and Russia to bring about a cease-fire, truce or end to this civil-sectarian war that has taken so many thousands of lives. —There is a rising realization in the United States that the enemy in Syria is not Assad but the al-Qaida fighters and their allies. A victory for the rebels could mean mass martyrdom for Syria’s Christians and the annihilation of the Alawites.
—Hassan Rouhani, the new prime minister of Iran, has gone on U.S. television to declare Iran is not only not building an atom bomb, it will never do so. And he has signaled a willingness to prove it in return for a lifting of sanctions and readmission to the world community. —A U.S.-Iranian meeting appears possible next week at the U.N., which could lead to direct negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. There is always a possibility an incident could turn the United States back toward the bellicosity of August and put the War Party back in the saddle. But there are reasons to be hopeful. And that hope is not based on some naive trust in the truth of what we are being told by our adversaries, but on what their own cold interests dictate. Take Russia. A U.S. attack on Syria would surely lead to deeper U.S. involvement, the fall of Assad, the loss of her principal ally in the Arab world and her naval base at Latakia, and a loss of prestige at having been proven unable to protect her Syrian ally from the Americans. A U.S. war on Assad’s regime could also mean a victory for Islamists and their capture of some of Assad’s chemical weapons, which could turn up in the Caucasus just in time for the Sochi Olympics. Take Iran. She is suffering from the sanctions. Failure
to do a deal on her nuclear program carries a rising risk the War Party will get its way and the United States will launch air and missile strikes, leading to a war in the Persian Gulf. No matter the damage this might do to America and the global economy, Iran could be set back decades. A breakup of Iran is possible, as Iraq is breaking up. And what would an atom bomb do for Iran? The Saudis would acquire one, and the Israelis would put their hundreds on a hair trigger. If America was not intimidated by thousands of nuclear weapons in Soviet silos and on Soviet submarines, does Tehran think an Iranian bomb is going to frighten the Americans out of the Gulf? Take Syria. Assad wants to survive and emerge victorious from his civil war. That means no war with the United States. That means meeting the Americans at least halfway. In short, the United States, Russia, Syria and even Iran have a cold interest in no wider war in Syria. Unfortunately, powerful forces across the Middle East, and right here in River City, believe they have a vital interest in bringing about just such a war.

Climate change now ice-capped There is a tradition in politics that is similar to one in the legal profession: When evidence supports your position, make your argument based on the evidence, but when it argues against your position, ignore the evidence and appeal to emotion. The evidence is piling up that “climate change,” formerly known as “global warming,” is losing evidentiary support, despite recent “preliminary findings” by a group of “experts” from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that a Washington Post editorial suggests may prove, “warming has boosted the chances, in some cases significantly, that certain unwelcome weather or weather-related disasters will occur.” The Post and other “true believers” ignore or ridicule a growing body of evidence rebutting their beliefs. Most bad weather -- from hurricanes, which have been few this season, to tornadoes -- are unwelcome by those in their paths, but these weather phenomena have existed for centuries. Both sides seem to agree that CO2 levels are elevated, but they don’t agree on whether that will cause

d a n g e r ous climate change, including rising temperatures and turbulent weather. Cal The NongovThomas e r n m e n t a l International Columnist Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) argues, “The human effect is likely to be small relative to natural variability, and whatever small warming is likely to occur will produce benefits as well as costs.” Yet the climate change cultists continue to focus on melting polar ice caps and “displaced” polar bears as part of their emotional appeal for government to “fix” the problem. Now comes a report in the UK Daily Mail that “eminent scientists” have observed a record return of the Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60 percent in a year, covering with ice almost 1 million more square miles of ocean than in 2012. In 2007, the BBC reported that by 2013, global warming would leave the Arctic “ice free.” Oops! Just how silly this is getting is an assertion by some activists that the current tensions in Syria might be
linked to climate change. That’s not as harebrained as a newspaper report in January 1933, which said, “YoYo Banned in Syria, Blamed for Drought by Moslems.” The Syrians of 1933 actually believed the up and down of a toy yo-yo affected the weather. If it went down and sprang right back up, rain. If it went down and didn’t spring up, drought. Police reportedly patrolled the streets, confiscating the toy. Ridiculous? Not as ridiculous as some of the junk science coming out of climate research circles today. Last March, the Daily Mail reported that global temperatures are about to drop “below the level that the (computer) models forecast with ‘90 percent certainty.’” Marc Morano, a former staff member of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (whose web page climatedepot.com offers numerous scientific articles debunking climate change), emails me: “As a long observer of the global weather movement, I can say that the events of 2013 (have) been one of the most devastating to the movement. Both poles have record expanding ice. Global temperatures have

failed to rise for 15 plus years, sea level rise is failing to accelerate, tornadoes are at record lows, hurricanes are near record low activity ... 2013 may be the year in which man-made global warming fears enter the dustbin of history.” I doubt it. Too many people have too much invested in perpetuating this fiction. Billions of dollars and other currencies have been diverted into “green” projects in a Chicken Little attempt to stop the sky from falling. The BBC reports it as fact in virtually every story it does on the environment. Ditto the American media. Most media ignore evidence that counters climate change proponents. Former Vice President Al Gore has made a personal fortune promoting the cult of global warming, a cult being partially defined as a belief system that ignores proof contrary to its beliefs. Perhaps the climate change counter-revolutionaries should adopt the yoyo as their symbol and send Gore and his apostles a box of them.

Government gets poor marks on protecting gun rights, control WASHINGTON — A New Jersey college student wants Congress to stand strong against tougher gun laws. A Colorado software executive thinks the federal government goes too far in protecting gun rights. A child-care worker in Wisconsin just wants the shootings in her city to stop. Even as the debate over tightening national gun control laws is rekindled after the latest mass shooting, a growing number of Americans are questioning the government’s stewardship of the right to bear arms, according to a poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Asked to size up how the government is doing on protecting a variety of rights and freedoms spelled out in the Bill of Rights and federal law, Americans pointed to slippage almost everywhere but most dramatically on the matters of guns and voting rights. The impression of a declining track record on guns rights turned up everywhere: among Republicans and Democrats, men and women,
young and old, city dwellers and those in small towns. Overall, 44 percent of Americans think the federal government is doing a good job of safeguarding the right to keep and bear arms, down from 57 percent two years earlier. Of course, not everyone wants the government to go all out to safeguard Second Amendment rights, and that affects how people assess the government’s success at protecting the right. Republicans and independents were far more likely than Democrats to give the government poor marks for protecting gun rights. Among Republicans, 36 percent said the government was doing a good job protecting the right to bear arms, down from 51 percent two years ago. That compared with 56 percent of Democrats giving a good rating now, down from 64 percent two years ago. The slide was highest among independents, going from 52 percent giving a good rating in 2011 down to 25 percent in the latest poll. The survey was conducted Aug. 12-29, prior to the mass shooting this week at the Washington Navy Yard that left
13 people dead, including the gunman.
Obama to GOP: End brinkmanship on budget, debt WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is appealing to the public anew to pressure Congress to stop undermining his health care law through measures that would threaten a government shutdown or a default on the government’s debts. In his Saturday radio and Internet address Obama makes it clear he would not accede to Republican efforts to defund the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Obama says, quote, “That’s not happening. And they know it’s not happening.” The House on Friday passed a stopgap spending bill through mid-December that cuts off money for the health care law. Later in the month, Congress must raise the nation’s debt limit to avoid a first-ever default. The Republican address was delivered by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval. He calls for economic growth through leadership and bipartisan negotiation in Washington.

Rains break dry spell across parts of Mississippi JACKSON — Significant rain fell across much of Mississippi, but is producing little flooding after two months of drier-than-normal conditions. Some of the heaviest rain fell after midnight Saturday in an area northeast of Jackson, National Weather forecasters say, including 6.21 inches by Saturday morning at Goshen Springs, on the Ross Barnett Reservoir in eastern Rankin County. That band continued into Madison, Leake and Attala counties. The Weather Service reported nearly 5 inches of rain at JacksonMedgar Wiley Evers International Airport from noon Friday to 10 a.m. Saturday. There were isolated reports of flooded roads overnight, including near Hinds Community College in Raymond. No flood warnings are issued. Forecasters in Memphis, Tenn., say about 4 inches of rain fell around Sardis and Batesville, the highest totals in northern Mississippi.
State tourism grants go to events in Lowndes Count COLUMBUS — The Mississippi Development Authority has awarded grants to several tourism-centered events in Lowndes County. The ColumbusLowndes Convention and Visitors Bureau says the Catfish in the Alley, Decorative Arts and Preservation Forum/Antiques Show and Sales, Market Street Festival, DREAM 365-MLK Celebration and Caledonia Days will receive grants under the authority’s 2013-2014 program. The authority had $250,000 to award statewide. The local awards included: ■ $4,000 for Catfish in the Alley. ■ $2,000 for the Decorative Arts and Preservation Forum/Antiques Show and Sales. ■ $4,000 for Caledonia Days. ■ $4,000 for the Market Street Festival. ■ $2,000 for DREAM 365-MLK Celebration.
Meridian council cuts pay of some community officials MERIDIAN — The City Council has voted to cut the salaries of some department heads.
Mayor Percy Bland, who was elected in June, replaced some department heads and kept others. In doing so, he set higher pay for directors of community development, homeland security and the chief of police. The chief administrative officer’s salary was cut, as was the salary of the public works director. The fire chief and parks and recreation director each received slight raises from the City Council but the chief financial officer’s salary remained unchanged. The pay cuts are expected to save almost $39,000 annually. City CAO Curt Goldacker tells The Meridian Star that the pay cut will not affected his future with the city. The council also authorized pay raises for many rank-and-file city workers as part of a budget for the next year of about $50 million. Tax rates remained the same, except for a slight increase requested by the Meridian Public School District, which asked for a 1.6 mill increase. Council President George Thomas said the increase would cost the owner of a house value at $100,000 about $10 a year.

PICAYUNE — Discussion about the future of the former Crosby Memorial Hospital property will be much on the minds of city leaders in residents in Picayune over the coming months. WLOX reported possible uses for the 5-acre site are many, but first the building must be torn down. The city recently bought the site for $200,000 and has entered a contract for demolition of the old hospital building. The building was vacated after a new hospital was built on U.S. Highway 11 in North Picayune. Before the building comes down, interior salvage work will be done. The entire process should take about three month to complete. “It will be bittersweet,” said City Manager Jim Luke. “The hospital has been here for nearly 60 years. A lot of people were born here, a lot of people worked here. But on the other hand, we think it will be great for the future of Picayune.” “Our vision is to make this 5 acres green space for perpetual use by the citizens of Picayune,” Mayor Ed Pinero said. One idea is to create a park. The city is receiving other concepts for the property from Picayune residents. “Some of the ideas that we’ve heard, plant additional trees, but also add an amphitheater. It’s not going to be a playground. We have Friendship Park, we have JP Johnson Park,

Workers seal ammonia leak at Moss Point plant
Police say man arrested in New Orleans robberies
MOSS POINT — Authorities in Jackson County say a leak of anhydrous ammonia at a plant in Moss Point has been contained and no injuries have been reported. WLOX reports the leak was reported about 8:45 a.m. Friday at the Airgas Specialty Gas plant. Jackson County emergency management director Earl Ethridge says responders found ammonia was leaking from a transfer line that linked a 30,000-gallon fixed tank and a rail car. The leak was contained to the transfer area and was sealed in about an hour, he says. Jackson County sheriff’s deputies temporarily blocked Saracennia Road in front of the plant.
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans police have arrested a 50-year-old Mississippi man sought in the robberies of three banks in recent months, when he returned to a bank in New Orleans’ Central Business District and robbed it for a second time. Dwayne Eugene Hupp, of Bay St. Louis, was arrested Thursday at Crescent Bank & Trust after bank security guards watched him rob the bank then try to leave with the cash. The FBI says security officers detained the robber until police arrived. Once in police custody, authorities say Hupp confessed to robbing Crescent Bank & Trust on Sept. 4 and a Liberty Bank & Trust branch on Aug. 6 and Sept. 10.

East Mississippi Community College will receive $2.7 million and Hinds Community College will received $2.2 million. The schools will be part of a consortium led by Lewis and Clark Community College in Illinois. The total grant was $23.8 million. The community colleges will work with employers to identify the most pressing needs for job training in Mississippi such as manufacturing, transportation and health care.

we have parks on the east side. This is going to be an entertainment and leisure park,” Pinero said. “If someone wanted to have a gospel sing or maybe movies on the grass, maybe for an outdoor play, that’s one idea being pitched around. And for the safety of people who walk on Memorial Boulevard, maybe a walking track,” Luke said. City leaders say the last thing they want to see happen is the building and property become an eyesore. “Our biggest concern was not to have a blighted property right in the heart of our city,” Pinero said. The city plans public meetings later this year to solicit more ideas for the property. Bricks from the building will be given to residents as mementos.

told a news conference Friday he sent a letter in July 2012 to Matson Navigation Co. notifying the company of the leak. The letter, provided to reporters Friday, asked Matson to tell the state when the pipeline was repaired. Vic Angoco, Matson’s senior vice president for Pacific operations, said the company responded by inspecting the pipeline twice — at high and low tide — but didn’t see any molasses leaking. The company also didn’t see any molasses in the water, he said. More than 26,000 fish and other marine species in Honolulu Harbor suffocated and died as the molasses spread and sank to the ocean floor about 5 miles west of Waikiki’s hotels and beaches. The spill happened in an industrial area of Honolulu Harbor west of downtown, where Mat-
son loads molasses and other goods for shipping. Grune said the inspector saw the leak while looking for storm water discharge. Harbor tenants are responsible for inspecting their own pipelines, not the Transportation Department, Grune said. A separate state crew in the harbor noticed molasses dripping in May, but Grune said the department didn’t tell Matson. Grune blamed the department’s failure to notify Matson of the second instance on a “breakdown in our procedures and practices.” The department needs to improve on this, he said. Angoco said the company didn’t have a plan to respond to a molasses spill — despite being notified of the dripping pipe last year — because molasses is an unregulated product.

Some grandfatherly advice to his Little Button Dear Anniston, What a special day -Sept. 10, 2013. It was the day I saw you for the first time. You stole my heart without saying a word. I’ve been told granddaughters have special powers to do such a magical thing. My Little Button is no exception. It was a long, emotional day with many strangers crowded in the waiting room to be there upon your arrival, then a dozen hours later those same people were enjoying hugs and tears, smiles and laughter -- all with but one thing in common -- Anniston Rea Boehler. Nana and Gamma; Poppy, Papaw and Pops; G-momma and Jackson; Randaddy and your Daddy; Hudson, Holten and Hayden; Ann, Amanda
and two A m y s ; Carol Ann, Callie and K a y l a ; Meri B. and Mall; NonMark nie and two Boehler N e e - N e e s -there Sidetracks was even a Chip and a Brooke -- all stood in a circle of hope with a united front to offer prayer for you and your dear, sweet mother, Hannah. This group is your kin and your friends. You are now a rock star. This is your fan base. Two cousins were present who haven’t seen the light of day. They will soon come out crying for you to come play with them. Your father embraced me like no other time. We shared tears on this terrific Tuesday because
my Matt was following in his dad’s footsteps in the most important role he will ever play in his life -that of a father. You are special in another way. You are my first grandchild to bear the Boehler name. Your name is unique and rare. It has German roots. Be prepared for people to call you “Bowl-ler” instead of “Bee-ler.” That actually works in your favor. If someone can’t pronounce Boehler, you know immediately if they really know you. As your grandfather, I am going to give you some advice. Be proud of your family and love them. They will love you right back. No questions asked. That’s what families do. Listen to your mother and father. They are good people. Your parents will
take care of you, even when at times you may not deserve it -- like when you turn 16 and you think you know everything. Take care of your parents. Love them. Honor them. Respect them. Always do things the right way. Stay honest. Be truthful. Be generous and kind, helpful and supportive of everything and everything in which you are a part. Be a team player. Take your education and the Lord very seriously. Those two will have more to do with success in your life than good luck and the lottery. Read. Plan. Enjoy the moments. Have fun. Laugh often. Take yourself seriously, but only when necessary. Smiles and jokes will keep you young. Learn the games of soc-
cer and football and be knowledgeable of local, college and pro teams. Have conversations with your father about the world of soccer and football. When you get to the part about staying out late, going on a date or taking a trip to Florida, your father may have a more lenient attitude because you are a very smart woman. Keep a positive attitude, even when the outlook may look dim. Work hard. Study. Play hard. Dream big. Live. Watch meteor showers, sunrises and sunsets. Play in the rain. When you decide what you want in life, go get it. When you decide what you want to be in life, go do it. Take care of your pets. Be patriotic. Appreciate
all that you have. Always say thank you. Give hugs. Don’t make any excuses. Be your own leader. We are on this Earth for a short period. Some are on more borrowed time than others. I promise to enjoy and appreciate every moment we have together. The future we can’t predict, no matter what crystal ball we gaze upon. I love you more than you will ever know, because you are my Little Button. Your grandfather, Mark Boehler (Mark Boehler is editor of the Daily Corinthian. He is the proud father of five and grandfather of three with a fourth of the way. He may be reached at editor@dailycorinthian.com.)
Mississippi community college rolls dip for 3rd straight year BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Enrollment has fallen at Mississippi’s 15 community colleges for the third year in a row, according to preliminary figures reported by the Community College Board. The new data show that the number of students enrolled at the state’s twoyear schools fell 4.3 percent this fall to 77,661. That means community college enrollment has now dipped back below that of the state’s eight public universities. The number of university students fell less than 1 percent to 80,532, breaking a string of 20 straight years of increases. College enrollment usually tracks against the economy, rising when the job market is bad and falling when it’s better. Students streamed into com-
munity college classrooms during the recession, trying to improve their job credentials. But leaders say a decrease in the unemployment rate, along with restrictions on federal student aid, are cutting the number of students. “As the economy improves, folks are getting jobs they weren’t able to get a couple of years ago,” said Eric Clark, executive director of the Community College Board. The National Student Clearinghouse, which counts college students, said in a report last May that community colleges and private for-profit institutions were shedding students more rapidly than four-year public schools and nonprofit private colleges. Community colleges and for-profit schools are more likely to serve people
looking for a quick brushup on their career skills, and the drop in their numbers lines up with a larger increase in older students, the clearinghouse found. Mississippi officials also believe restrictions on federal Pell Grants, which aid needy students, are cutting into enrollment. For example, people without a high school diploma or GED no longer get aid. A study earlier this year by University of Alabama Professor Stephen Katsinas estimated that thousands of students statewide aren’t enrolled in community colleges because of the stricter rule. Clark noted that the number of students remains above the prerecession mark of 67,719 in 2007. “Most of our community colleges were experiencing record enrollments, which
we knew would not continue over time,” he said. After seeing a 10 percent decrease in students last fall, Jones County Junior College was the only school to see enrollment climb this fall: a 6-percent jump to 4,663 students. President Jesse Smith said he is glad to have beaten expectations. “It means we’re doing something right.” College officials cite recruitment efforts, free tuition for residents of Greene and Jasper counties, and a new location in Waynesboro. Enrollment at Coahoma Community College fell 11 percent, the largest percentage drop. The largest total drop was at Hinds Community College, the state’s largest two-year school.

Yamauchi, long- Markets drop time president as investors for Nintendo, dies fret over budget BY YURI KAGEYAMA Associated Press
TOKYO — Hiroshi Yamauchi, who ran Nintendo for more than 50 years and led the Japanese company’s transition from traditional playingcard maker to video game giant, has died. He was 85. Kyoto-based Nintendo said Yamauchi, who was also known for owning the Seattle Mariners major league baseball club, died Thursday of pneumonia at a hospital in central Japan. Yamauchi was Nintendo president from 1949 to 2002, and engineered the company’s global growth, including developing the early Family Computer consoles and Game Boy portables. Nintendo, which makes Super Mario and Pokemon games as well as the Wii U home console, was founded in 1889. Reputed as a visionary and among the richest men in Japan, Yamauchi made key moves such as employing the talents of Shigeru Miyamoto, a global star of game design and the brainchild of Nintendo hits such as Super Mario and Donkey Kong.
A dropout of the prestigious Waseda University in Tokyo, Yamauchi’s raspy voice and tendency to speak informally in his native Kyoto dialect was a kind of disarming spontaneity rare among Japanese executives. Yamauchi had little interest in baseball, but was approached to buy the Mariners, who may have had to move out of Washington state where Nintendo of America Inc. was headquartered to Florida without a new backer. The acquisition in 1992 made the Seattle club the first in the major leagues to have foreign ownership. “Hiroshi Yamauchi is the reason that Seattle has the Mariners,� thenSen. Slade Gorton said Thursday from his home in Bellevue, Wash. “When no one else would stand up and purchase them and they were about to leave to go to Florida, he did, simply as a civic gesture.� The Mariners issued a statement on his death saying his gesture of goodwill to the citizens of the Pacific Northwest is legendary, and he also promoted Japanese players.

Washington’s budget fight jolted investors on Friday, reminding them that the next few weeks could bring a lot of uncertainty. Wall Street hates uncertainty. Stocks fell in an afternoon sell-off that wiped out most of the gains from a rally earlier this week, when the Federal Reserve decided to keep its huge economic stimulus program intact. Major indexes were mixed in morning trading, but turned lower around midday after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to defund President Barack Obama’s health care law. The vote itself wasn’t a surprise, but it reminded investors that the Republican-led House and the Democratic-controlled Senate are poised for a showdown over federal spending. The debt ceiling must be raised by Oct. 1 to avoid a government shutdown, and a potential default on payments, including debt, later in the month. The threat of a default in August 2011 helped send global stock markets into a tailspin. “What we’ve done is basically committed ourselves to two weeks of worry,� said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. Until now, September defied the worriers. The stock market has bounced backed from an August swoon, despite a calendar loaded with potential rally killers. Fears of a conflict with Syria have faded, and Wall Street cheered when Larry Summers withdrew his name as a candidate to replace Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke. Summers, a former Treasury secretary, was viewed as more likely to rein in the Fed’s stimulus program, which has
David Darst Chief investment strategist, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management kept interest rates low and boosted corporate profits. As Middle East strife recedes from investors’ minds, though, fears of budget gridlock grow. “Geopolitics ... is much lower on the list. It’s not off the list� of investor worries, said David Darst, chief investment strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. “No. 1 becomes the debt ceiling and the federal spending debate.� The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 185.46 points, or 1.2 percent, to close at 15,451.09. That was 225 points below its all-time closing high reached Sept. 18 after the Fed’s announcement. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 12.43 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,709.91. All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 fell, led lower by telecom companies and utilities. Even with the decline, the S&P 500 index is up 4.8 percent for the month, and 20 percent this year. In corporate news, BlackBerry plunged $1.79, or 17 percent, to $8.72 on the Nasdaq after announcing a loss of nearly $1 billion and layoffs of 4,500 workers. The company’s phones have been eclipsed by phones from Apple and Samsung.

Driver puts phone out of reach after frightening close call DEAR ABBY: The other day, while backing out of a parking space, I nearly hit a woman who was walking behind my car with her toddler son. I didn’t see them because I was dialing my cellphone and was distracted. The woman rightfully yelled at me to pay attention and get off my phone, and although she was gracious and encouraged me to consider it a “wake-up call,” I didn’t react as kindly to her out of embarrassment. Instead, I became defensive and didn’t apologize, even though it was my fault. I shudder to think of what might have happened, and I admit this wasn’t the first close call I’ve had. I’m a married mother of two and should know better. While I can’t go back and find her, I hope the woman sees this letter. I want her to know that because of that incident, I now lock my purse and phone in the trunk or place them on the backseat out of reach before I start my car. This way, I avoid the temptation to look at messages or make a call. I have also asked my kids to keep me accountable by reminding me if I happen to forget. They will be driving in a few years, and I want to set a good example for them. Please pass this idea along -- especially to moms like me who try to multitask in the car.
-- HANDS ON THE WHEEL IN CALIFORNIA D E A R HANDS ON THE WHEEL: Your sugAbigail gestion of your Van Buren placing purse and phone on the Dear Abby backseat out of reach is a good one. You are really lucky you didn’t kill or seriously injure that mother and her child. Regardless of whether or not the woman sees your letter, I hope it will remind other drivers of the danger of driving while distracted. And while I’m on the subject, I read an article recently that discussed distracted walking. According to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, this has caused an increase in pedestrian deaths. In 2011, more than 1,500 pedestrians were treated in emergency rooms because of injuries they suffered while using a portable electronic device. The safest course of action for drivers and pedestrians is to do only one thing at a time, and to be fully present while doing it. DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced for 13 years, and I often wonder how to fill out
questionnaires that ask my marital status. I have recently started checking “single” because enough time seems to have passed, and I don’t define myself by my divorce. However, now I’m wondering if there’s a certain etiquette recommended. -- STATUS UNKNOWN IN OHIO DEAR STATUS UNKNOWN: Honesty is recommended. As much as you might like to present yourself that way, you are no longer single. Calling yourself single is dishonest. As someone who has been married and divorced, you are a divorcee -and you will be until you remarry. Saying you are single is a misrepresentation of the facts. DEAR ABBY: I have a son-inlaw whom I hate to ask questions. He goes into so much detail that I’m always sorry I asked. Is there any way to make him get to the point? -- LIKES IT BRIEF DEAR LIKES IT BRIEF: Yes. Explain that when he goes into so much detail, you can remember only 10 percent of what he says, so please get to the point. And when he forgets, remind him. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Here’s one rule that will protect your time and happiness: Don’t give unsolicited advice. Share your expertise with those who ask or pay for it. They’re the ones who will value it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you obsess and overanalyze, you will become tired before you’ve handled all of your work. If you start to feel anxious, shift your focus to the things that help you access your inner peace. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Of course doing the same things will produce the same results. The change you desire will begin because of a choice you make to try something unfamiliar. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Conforming to the rules of a culture is sometimes necessary to survive, fit in, influence others and more. But conforming all the time is soul-crushing. You need your moments of rebellion, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone experiences things different-
ly. But today, your experience will be completely different from that of others around you because your sensitivity causes you to feel things with great intensity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be inspired by the people you meet and the stories you hear. Listening to others and mirroring their feelings and memories creates a great sense of satisfaction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are a comfortable person because you accept yourself and try not to judge anyone, including yourself, too harshly. Today you have a way of bringing out a side of people that they hide around others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Does energy that is directed at people really make a difference in what happens to them and how they feel? You do your fair share of sending out good vibes just in case. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Lay down boundaries to
help you avoid having another one of those conversations in which someone else feels better after sharing their feelings and pain with you, but you feel worse. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s strange how being around certain people can cause you to act out of character. You may find this liberating now, as it’s fun not to know exactly what someone is going to do next, especially if that someone is you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The bear who craves honey strongly enough is willing to risk it with the bees. You’re cleverer, though. You’ll stand by and watch until you figure out how honey can be had with the least chance of getting stung. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A new opportunity is masquerading as the same-old same-old. Once you give it a familiar label, you won’t be able to see its potential. So observe more closely. What’s different?

Mississippi State blows out Troy BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer
STARKVILLE — Dak Prescott threw for 233 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 53 yards and two touchdowns and caught a 36-yard touchdown pass to lead Mississippi State over Troy 62-7 on Saturday night. Prescott’s diverse and efficient performance was matched by Jameon Lewis, who caught a 50-yard touchdown pass, rushed for an 8-yard touchdown and threw the 36-yard touchdown that Prescott caught on a trick play. Prescott was starting just his third career game. The

6-foot-2, 230-pound sophomore completed 13 of 21 passes. Mississippi State (2-2) led 10-7 after the first quarter, but erupted for 35 points in the second quarter to take a 45-7 halftime lead. Troy (2-2) never recovered from the brutal second quarter. Corey Robinson, who is the NCAA’s active leader in career passing yards, completed 15 of 25 passes for just 105 yards, one touchdown and one interception. It was the most points Mississippi State has scored in a game since 1994. The Bulldogs finished with 551 total yards.
Besides Prescott and Lewis, Mississippi State didn’t have many players with big individual numbers. That’s because just about any Bulldog who touched the ball produced. Ten players caught a pass and nine had at least one rushing attempt. The exclamation point on the night came early in the second quarter, when Prescott threw a lateral to Lewis, who took off to run before throwing the ball back across the field to Prescott. The quarterback had a convoy of blockers and cruised 36 yards to the end zone to give the Bulldogs a 17-7 lead. The Troy-Mississippi State
series has traditionally been close, with the Trojans even earning one of the biggest wins in school history against the Bulldogs in 2001. But this one turned ugly by halftime. The highlight of the Trojans’ night came when Robinson hit Eric Thomas on a 5-yard touchdown pass, which cut Mississippi State’s lead to 10-7 with six seconds remaining in the first quarter. But the Bulldogs responded with five touchdowns in the second quarter, overwhelming Troy with an avalanche Please see MSU | 11A

Hill leads No. 6 LSU past Auburn, 35-21 Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSU’s offense this early in the season is a matter for debate. His offseason arrest aside, there is no denying what a game-changer the explosive, 6-foot-2, 235-pound running back can be for the surging sixth-ranked Tigers, who have quickly re-established their credentials as contenders in the Southeastern Conference. Hill rushed for a careerhigh 184 yards and tied a career high with three touchdowns, helping LSU defeat previously unbeaten Auburn, 35-21 on Saturday night. Running with a combination of power, agility and speed, Hill scored touchdowns of 49, 10 and 6 yards. He set up
yet another score with a 54yard scamper in which he was shoved out of bounds at the 1. Tre Mason rushed for 132 yards and had two short touchdown runs in the third quarter for Auburn (3-1, 1-1 SEC), the second cutting LSU’s lead to 28-14. Zach Mettenberger responded with his only touchdown pass of the night — a 32-yarder to Jarvis Landry — early in the fourth quarter as LSU (4-0, 1-0) dimmed Auburn’s hopes for a comeback. Mettenberger was 14 of 22 for 229 yards. He threw his first interception of the season, but it wasn’t that costly as LSU’s 228 yards rushing helped it stay in control for most of the game. Auburn’s Nick Marshall was 17-of-33 passing for 224 and was intercepted twice. He
also gained 46 yards on the ground. LSU was favored by 17 points, but Auburn refused to give up. Auburn pulled within two scores on Cameron ArtisPayne’s 12-yard touchdown run with 6:33 left, then nearly pulled off a successful onside kick. Auburn recovered, but on replay review was deemed to have touched the ball before it went the requisite 10 yards. With rain steady throughout the day and well into the first half, ball security was a challenge early on, but hurt Auburn the most. Nick Marshall’s fumbled handoff on fourth-and-1 on the LSU 41 led to Hill’s long TD run three plays later for the game’s opening score. Punter Steven Clark’s mishandled snap on Auburn’s
second possession of the game set up Hill’s 10-yard score to give LSU a 14-0 lead before six minutes had elapsed. At that point, Auburn was facing a larger deficit than at any point in its first three games. LSU was threatening to take a three-score lead when running back Terrence Magee fumbled on the Auburn 12, but Hill’s slashing 54-yard run set up fullback J.C. Copeland’s forceful touchdown carry through the left side of the line to make it 21-0. Auburn did not score until early in the third quarter. Mason’s 2-yard TD run capped a 50-yard drive that began with Auburn safety Jermaine Whitehead’s interception. LSU responded immediPlease see LSU | 11A
No. 19 Florida loses Driskel, beats UT Associated Press
Hit-A-Thon
Sunday, September 22, 2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — After starting quarterback Jeff Driskel was lost to a seasonending ankle injury, Tyler Murphy led No. 19 Florida to five scores in a somewhat ugly game, helping the Gators open Southeastern Conference play with a 31-17 victory over Tennessee on Saturday. Murphy had a 52-yard touchdown throw to Solomon Patton, a swing pass that went the distance, and made several plays with his legs as Florida (2-1, 1-0 SEC) won its ninth consecutive game in the series. Murphy’s 7-yard TD scamper in the fourth quarter made it 31-10 and sent fans scrambling for the exits. The Volunteers (2-2, 0-1) had hoped to rebound from an embarrassing, 59-14 loss at No. 2 Oregon a week ago. Instead, Tennessee and firstyear coach Butch Jones left Gainesville with another double-digit setback. Jones’ strangest decision
might have been to bench Justin Worley and give redshirt freshman Nathan Peterman his first career start on the road and in front of 90,000. Peterman, who grew up in nearby Jacksonville, had three turnovers in a 17-minute span in the first half and was benched at the break. Worley wasn’t a whole lot better. Then again, no one was perfect aside from Florida’s defense. Murphy completed 8 of 14 passes for 134 yards. He also ran 10 times for 84 yards. His biggest mistake was taking a snap off his facemask, a botched play that resulted in a fumble. That was one of seven turnovers on the day. The Volunteers had four — all in the first half. Peterman had three, and Raijon Neal fumbled on the team’s second play. Dante Fowler Jr. wrecked the exchange, his first of several big plays.
Florida had three turnovers in the first half, including running back Matt Jones’ second in two games. The Gators also botched a snap on a punt, a miscue that gave Tennessee great field position before Neal’s fumble. The most worrisome one for Florida was the one in which Driskel got hurt. Driskel, already playing with a brace on his sprained left knee, twisted his right ankle while throwing an interception in the first quarter. Devaun Swafford picked off the pass and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Marlon Walls pulled Driskel to the ground as he released the ball. Driskel tried to get up, but then dropped back to the turf and called for trainers. He limped off the field a few minutes later, got checked on the sideline and then used crutches to get to the locker room. Driskel was then ruled out for the rest of the season. Murphy replaced him on the
next drive. The fourth-year junior had never thrown a pass in college, watching from the sideline as Driskel, Jacoby Brissett, John Brantley, Jordan Reed and Trey Burton all took snaps ahead of him. An injury to Driskel was supposed to significantly hamper Florida’s offense. But the Gators hardly missed a beat with Murphy running things. He led the offense to four touchdowns and a field goal in nine drives. Of course, it came against Tennessee, which has lost the last seven games in the series by double digits. A couple of those were downright one-sided. The Gators finished with 382 total yards, 162 more than Tennessee. The Volunteers got going in the fourth, when Worley found Pig Howard alone in the corner of the end zone. It came with Florida down three Please see FLORIDA | 11A

Johnny Football leads A&M over SMU Associated Press COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Johnny Manziel accounted for 346 yards with three touchdowns in just more than a half to help No. 10 Texas A&M cruise to a 42-13 win over SMU on Saturday night. Texas A&M (3-1) was up 32-6 at halftime, and Manziel led the Aggies to a touchdown on their first drive of the third quarter before the Heisman Trophy-winner went to the bench. It was a nice bounceback game for Texas A&M after falling to topranked Alabama 49-42 last week. Manziel had 244 yards passing with a touchdown and ran for 102 yards and two more scores. Deshazor Everett returned a fumble 12 yards for a touchdown and Ben Malena ran for 71 yards and two scores. He got things going for A&M with a 3-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Former Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert threw for 310 yards and a touchdown with an interception for SMU (1-2). Despite the lopsided score, Texas A&M’s performance was far from flawless. The Aggies missed three straight PATs in the second quarter and were penalized 13 times for 114 yards. The Mustangs didn’t play any cleaner, and piled up 16 penalties for 111 yards. The Aggies took a 14-0 lead when Manziel sidestepped a defender before high-stepping over another one en route to the end zone on a 7-yard run later in the first. Texas A&M recovered an onside kick and was driving again when a pass by Manziel was deflected and intercepted by Hayden Greenbauer. The Mustangs cut the lead 14-3 when the ensuing drive resulted in a 42yard field goal by Chase Hover. Manziel rolled out and found Malcome Kennedy on a 16-yard touchdown pass that extended the lead to 20-3 early in the second quarter. Taylor Bertolet’s kick failed. Manziel’s second 7-yard touchdown run made it 32-3 just more than three minutes later, but Bertolet missed again. Jeremiah Gaines fumbled after a reception on the first play of SMU’s next drive and Everett scooped it up and returned it for the score. Coach Kevin Sumlin had seen enough of Bertolet and brought in Josh Lambo to attempt the PAT. But holder Drew Kaser fumbled the snap and the kick was blocked. A 47-yard field goal by Hover as time expired in the second quarter left A&M up 32-6 at halftime. Manziel had a nifty run on A&M’s first possession after halftime. He evaded three defenders that had hands on him to dash down the sideline on a 20-yard run. Malena’s 1-yard run two plays later — and a made extra point by Lambo — made it 396. He was replaced by Matt Joeckel, who started A&M’s opener while Manziel served an NCAA suspension. Joeckel threw for 63 yards before Sumlin brought in freshman Kenny Hill. Lambo’s 40-yard field goal extended A&M’s lead to 42-6 near the end of the third quarter.

breakout for Mississippi State’s offense, which ranked 13th out of 14 SEC teams in scoring coming into the night. Prescott started the season as Tyler Russell’s backup, but Russell suffered a concussion in the
season opener against Oklahoma State and hasn’t played since. An MSU spokesman said Russell was cleared for contact on Thursday, but Prescott started against Troy anyway, and the way he’s playing
it’s hard to see him losing the starting job any time soon. Mullen came to Mississippi State five years ago after being the offensive coordinator at Florida during most of the Tim Tebow era, and Prescott’s
skill set is similar. He’s always been a good runner for the Bulldogs, but has lately shown good touch in the passing game. Now the Bulldogs get a week off before facing LSU in Starkville on Oct. 5.
ing a punch outside a bar in late April violated of his probation from an earlier misdemeanor plea to carnal knowledge of a juvenile. A judge placed further restrictions on Hill’s probation, but agreed to let him remain out of jail.
LSU coach Les Miles, who’d suspended Hill after his arrest, reinstated him when fall practice began and benched him only for LSU’s seasonopening victory over TCU. A week later, Hill scored on his first carry
against UAB. He then scored twice last week against Kent State, with one TD going for 58 yards. He was even more domi-
nant this weekend, albeit against a defense that had given up an average of 157 yards rushing in its previous three games.
ejected early in the fourth quarter for targeting. The play was upheld after review, meaning Poole will miss the first half of next
week’s game at Kentucky. With Driskel out, the Gators surely feel much better after Murphy’s performance.

Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in Corinth Forrest! The name alone used to be enough to scare the wits out of a Union soldier. He was even responsible, in a roundabout way, for me to run for my life. A few years ago I was asked to speak to at the annual Nathan Bedford Forrest Seminar & Conference in Memphis. My topic was “Forrest at Shiloh.” I spent the morning listening to several folks talk Tom about his Parson u p b r i n g ing in MisPark Ranger sissippi and of his impressive combat record. Then it was my turn and talk about bringing down the house! I mean, really, the house came down. We were on a break for lunch and I was about to speak about the Interpretive Center and then give the keynote speech once the dishes were cleared. There was a rumble, a crash, and the ceiling began to sway. Everyone ran for the doors as the ceiling came crashing down in the Memphis Scottish Rite Building on Union Avenue. What a mess! No one was hurt, but the food was buried under a ton of rubble. I ended up giving my talk across the street alongside the equestrian statue (and grave) of the general himself. Hardly a week goes by without a visitor asking us, “Why don’t you have a picture of Forrest on the wall?” or “Where was Forrest during the Battle of Corinth?” These are both good questions, though fans of Forrest are not always happy with our answer. To be honest, he may have been a major player in the war, but he was just a bit player when it came to Corinth. Forrest was, and is, a controversial figure of the war. Either you love him or you hate him. There are a few unsavory aspects of the man we won’t go into here, but as a leader of mounted infantry, he was without peer in either army. Be that as it may, there is no denying there was a charisma about the man and he never had trouble drawing men to fight with him. He was a self-made man, born in Bedford County, Tenn., though he grew up not far away from us in Tippah (now Benton) County. He made a fortune in slaves and real estate though he could only claim about six months of formal book learning. When the war began, he enlisted as a private in a Tennessee regiment, but he wouldn’t remain there long. When the governor discovered an influential millionaire was serving as
Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest a private, he immediately promoted him to lieutenant colonel and let him recruit his own unit. He raised a troop of cavalry and quickly made a name for himself as a bold leader with unconventional ways. For one, he disdained the conventional role of cavalry. He preferred to use the horse as transportation and have his men fight on foot. He refused to submit to surrender at Fort Donelson and led his men on a wild, dangerous journey through the swamps to Nashville. Through diligence and an iron resolve, he brought order to a city in panic and saved millions of dollars’ worth of Confederate supplies. When General Albert Sidney Johnston’s army began to gather at Corinth, in mid-March of 1862, Forrest and his men arrived as well. Where was he headquartered? Darned if I know, but since he was a rather junior officer at the time, it is a safe bet he was sleeping under a canvas tent. His accomplishments at
the Battle of Shiloh were modest. For half the day on April 6, he guarded a bridge far from the action. Finally, on his own initiative, he led his regiment in a mounted attack against a section of the Union line near the Manse-George cabin. Cavalry charges are pretty exciting, but this one had no bearing on the outcome of the battle. While most of his men were sent back to Corinth as an escort for Union prisoners, he and a few others stayed behind and scouted the east side of the battlefield. That night they stood on the riverside near the Indian mounds and watched the Federal reinforcements arriving. Forrest was actually the last casualty at Shiloh. On April 8th he was involved in a minor rear guard action at a place remembered as Fallen Timbers. His horse became unmanageable and bolted into the Union lines -an unplanned one-man charge! It was inevitable that he would be hit and a bullet entered his side and lodged low against his spine. He rode away
with his right leg hanging numb and useless in the stirrup. There is an old myth about him reaching down, seriously wounded mind you, and plucking up a Union soldier and plopping him down behind the saddle as a human shield. Pshaw! Why do I consider it more fairytale than fact? First, try it yourself with something as heavy as, say, a gallon of milk, or maybe a 50-pound sack of concrete. Remember you have to lift and twist so the load ends up behind you. Got it? Try it again with a sack filled with 125 pounds of bricks. Then do it on the back of a running horse. Last of all, try it with a bullet in your side and a useless leg to keep you off balance. Ah-ha! Harder than it sounds, isn’t it? Second, not a single person claimed to be an eyewitness, not even Forrest himself, who assisted with his own biography. In fact, the story never even appeared in print before 1902 -- 40 years after the fact. There were a couple of thousand men
on hand and though a few mentioned the one-man charge, not a single one saw the use of a human shield. Hmmm. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to tear down the Forrest mystique. Far from it -- in fact I think Forrest the soldier was bigger than the legend and he doesn’t need a hokey story to seem more than he was. To tell you how tough the guy really was, he rode his wounded horse all the way back to Corinth. He tried riding in an ambulance, but the jarring, spring-less ride was torture enough for a man not carrying a bullet against his spine. The horse died within minutes of arriving in Corinth. The surgeons in Corinth couldn’t find the bullet so they sent him home for two months to recover. He was back at work in Cross City just three weeks later. There was a problem with the commissary supplies for his men and he wasn’t about to let them go hungry. He was still in plenty of pain but it didn’t slow him down much. He was lead-
ing a reconnaissance to the northeast of town one day and he took a nasty spill when his horse was jumping over a log. He was brought back to town where his surgeon J.B. Cowan, actually the first cousin of Forrest’s wife, took another look at the wound. That night, somewhere in Corinth, Cowan operated and removed the bullet. Oh, and the doc didn’t use any anesthetic. Forrest went home to recuperate again and by the time he was up on his feet, Corinth was in the hands of the Union. It was a long time before Forrest returned to our fair city. Granted, he wasn’t exactly welcomed by the current tenants, but he was busy elsewhere in a number of battles and campaigns. It was over two years before he made his way back to Corinth. It was in late June of 1864 and his cavalry corps was in the vicinity of Tupelo, resting after their recent victory at Brice’s Crossroads. A second Union expedition was poised to move from Memphis into Mississippi and Forrest was a busy man preparing to meet them. Corinth had been abandoned by the Federals earlier in ’64 and during the early summer the city played host to some of Forrest’s cavalry under Colonel Phillip Roddey. They were a rough, dirty bunch, and since they spent most of their time in Alabama, the general didn’t see them as often as he would have liked. Forrest hopped on the train in the morning and made the 50-mile trip to Corinth in a few hours. If you have ever heard the old story about the Southerners using mules to pull the cars between the two cities, it is not entirely true. There was a brief period when this was so, but for most of the spring and summer of 1864 the Confederates maintained train service between here and Mobile. Later in the day he boarded the cars for the return to Tupelo. This was the last time Forrest visited Corinth, at least during the war. He did plenty of post-war travelling so there is a good possibility he walked the streets again. I couldn’t say for sure. Forrest may not have not have played as big a part in the story of Corinth as other officers who passed through town, and he certainly didn’t stay very long. But for those visitors who are on the quest to follow his footsteps (hoof steps?) I can assure you, he once walked our streets.

WVOM—Tishomingo County’s first radio station (Prepared by RaNae Vaughn for the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society on Sept. 11, 2013. Sources include a newspaper issue of The Vidette, Iuka, dated Sept. 14, 1967, and Mr. E.C. Holtsford’s daughter.) WVOM — Wonderful Voice of Music, 1270 on the AM radio dial, was Tishomingo County’s first radio station. The station signed on the air at 5
o’clock in the morning of Saturday, Sept. 17, 1960, for its first day RaNae of regular Vaughn c o m m e r cial broadHistorically casting. Speaking The Federal Communications Commission granted the construction permit on June 8.
A photograph was taken about 4:30 a.m. that Saturday morning before the station went on the air. Original personnel at the station were photographed for this big moment in time. “Curly” Huntley, the station manager, is seated in the picture. Standing behind Curly, from left to right, are Mr. E.C. “Gene” Holtsford, owner of the station; Buddy Bain, assistant manager working
as announcer and salesperson; Charles Kay, announcer and salesperson; and the Rev. J.T. McCafferty, pastor of the Iuka United Methodist Church, who gave the invocation for the signing on of the new radio station. The first location of the WVOM broadcast studio was next door in the upstairs area of the old Gallagher building adjacent to the Bancorp-
South Bank (formerly the Iuka Guaranty Bank) on Front Street in Iuka. The transmitter building and broadcast tower were located on a four-acre plot of land about a mile and a half south of Iuka on Pleasant Hill Road. The first day’s broadcast from the new studio marked a milestone in Tishomingo County’s progress. Being the first radio broadcast outlet in the county, WVOM was
the most powerful radio station in Northeast Mississippi. Its 1,000-watt radiated power expanded its service area to most of North Mississippi, significant portions of Northwest Alabama, and nine counties in West Central Tennessee. The coverage area represented a population density of more than 1 million people. The station’s programs Please see HISTORY | 2B

Hunters have a lot to look forward to this fall With the hunting seasons beginning to open one by one and considering I have little outdoor news of significance to report on anyway, I’ve decided to go ahead and make my annual forecast on the kind of seasons sportsmen can expect this fall. What I have verified through some of my past speculating is that no one’s perfect. Normally, I’m pretty accurate with my predictions; however, my projections for a better than average turkey season this past spring fell short by a landslide. Success rates among turkey hunters were just so-so. Hunters complained of having a hard time getting an ole tom to cooperate or hearing one gobble at all, period. It wasn’t because there weren’t plenty of turkeys
to hunt. The turkey population was and is in fantastic shape. David One of Green the coldest springs Outdoors ever recorded in history is what kept the turkeys in disarray. Mother Nature played a trick on me… and the other turkeys as well. That’s enough with the excuses. Let’s move on to the present, bigger picture and see if I can do better. Deer hunters should have little problem in packing their freezers with venison this fall. Higher than usual fawn recruitment and lower hunter harvest rates in many areas over the last few years has caused deer
populations to explode. Put mildly, deer are plentiful. With deer herds expanding so rapidly, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks are relaxing regulations in hopes of more deer being harvested. For instance, hunters who use archery equipment will be allowed to use a crossbow instead of having to adhere to standard archery gear for the first time beginning this season. And in the 2014-2015 seasons, hunters will be allowed to use the weapon of choice during any open gun season. Primitive style weapons will no longer have to be used. Just because deer populations are beginning to bust out at the seams doesn’t necessarily mean the hunting is going to be easy. It would be somewhat easier, though, if
food wasn’t so abundant. Favorable growing conditions with adequate rainfall has created a bumper crop of fruits, acorns, and other types of vegetation deer like to eat. I said last year was going to be the year of the big buck, and I nailed it. Mississippi had one of its best seasons ever for the harvesting of super-sized trophy bucks. A repeat could very well be in order for this year considering all of the variables, but I’m not willing to go out on a limb and stake that claim. No doubt, I’m sure there are lots of big ‘uns out there roaming the hills and hollows. But considering the unusually high number of young deer I saw and heard others talk about last year, I see this season as being the year of the spike. I’m sure that’s not
something you were hoping to hear. Anyway, the prospect of good hunting bodes well for future seasons. Small game hunters should have ridiculously great seasons. Good weather conditions over a prolonged period of years have benefited squirrel and rabbit populations substantially. Even quail seems to by trying to make a comeback according to the number of sighting I’ve heard about. Duck hunters for the most part had slightly better seasons last year just like I thought they would. Extreme drought in the Midwest is what I was basing my assumption on, figuring more ducks would fly south in search of food and water. I wish I could be optimistic about this season, but I can’t. The opposite
effect has happened this time, resulting in the region being deluged with rainfall over the spring and summer. But, as you know, the weather this far out is unpredictable. Timely cold fronts with frigid temperatures to our north could send waves of ducks flying farther south for winter. There’s no better time to be a hunter and outdoorsman. Sportsmen have a lot to look forward to this fall. (Daily Corinthian columnist and Alcorn County resident David Green is an avid hunter and fisherman in the Crossroads area.

and in taking up tickets. The show continued until 4 p.m. with a variety program that pleased youngsters from eight to 80. Front Street from the Iuka Guaranty Bank west of McGill’s Grocery was blocked off to make room for spectators. People brought their chairs, found a good location and enjoyed the show. Mr. Holtsford sold WVOM in January 1970 to Dr. Kelly Segars; he also owned and operated WADJ 95.3 (formerly WWTH) in Corinth. At some point in time, Dr. Segars sold the station, and it was called WFOX.

Online orders replace mom’s care packages BY BETH J. HARPAZ Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the decade Sarah Tetley has worked with college students, she’s seen a change in care packages sent from home. The box of homemade goodies “is something of a lost art,” says Tetley, director of the First Year Experience program at Webster University in St. Louis. “And it’s sad, because there’s nothing like seeing a student get excited about a package from home.” The change is partly because parents are more in touch with kids, thanks to cell phones, than they used to be: “They don’t send as many care packages because they just talked to them,” Tetley said. But it’s also due to a rise in commercially prepared options — not just generic gift baskets, but care packages designed specifically for college kids. And those parents who do pack their own care packages are apt to skip homemade brownies in favor of laundry pods, and get their “ty” via text.
The premade care package GourmetGiftBaskets. com “started to see a trend emerge a few years ago” with more orders sent to campus addresses, according to spokesman Chuck Casto. So the New Hampshire-based company introduced products like the “Exam Cram Care Package,” which includes microwave popcorn, cookies, candy, chips and pretzels. They’ve sold thousands of them, with sales up 75 percent this year over last. Many colleges also offer in-house care package programs. At Connecticut College, parents can order the $35 “Birthday Bash,” with a cake or cupcakes, or “Health Nut,” with fresh fruit, rice cakes and yogurt smoothies, $25. The packages are made in a dining hall for same-day pickup. Andy Fortson, 27, cofounded CoedSupply. com after looking online for something to send to a brother in the Marines and a cousin at Penn State. “I was pretty appalled by the options,” he said. “They were overpriced and full of junk food.” So he and a friend launched a hipper alternative last year with a monthly mix of healthfood snacks, personal care items (like Old Spice or a new fragrance from Rihanna) and entertainment (such as CDs), ranging in price from $16.50 to $35 a month. “The response has been over-
whelming,” Fortson said. “We’re already shipping to colleges in 45 states.”
From home, with love Parents who do send care packages say socks, laundry pods (premeasured detergent packs) and cookies are staples. But they also say it’s not so much about sending necessities as it is a message of love, from home. “There’s no way I can send him a copy of ‘I’ll Love You Forever,’ even though that is what I feel like reading right now,” joked Jill Troderman of Soquel, Calif., referring to the classic children’s book about parental devotion. But she did send her son at the University of Washington socks, a flannel throw and homemade chocolate-chip cookies. She figured he could share the cookies with friends since he’s a “bit of a health nut ... he doesn’t want to gain the freshman 15.” Laura Kessler tries to send monthly care packages to her two sons, but she “can’t bake to save her soul,” so instead sends things like Nutella and trinkets. Asked to name a favorite item from one of mom’s packages, son Brian Kessler, a sophomore at the University of Dayton, posted on Facebook, “Gonna have to go with Silly String.”
Saying thanks When it comes to saying thank-you for the effort, acknowledgements are often by text (“Thx” or “ty”) or pictures posted online. “I’ve even seen a student taking a Vine using all the things inside the care package, saying ‘Look what my mom bought me!’” said Tetley, referring to the app for six-second videos. Jackie Parker sent her daughter, a freshman at the University of Missouri at Columbia, a Starbucks gift card two weeks ago and was happy to get back, via text, “a picture of her drink and cake.” Kate Sutherland posted a picture on Instagram and Facebook when her mom sent a “makeyour-own party kit with princess stuff and decorations” for her 22nd birthday last spring — one of many care packages she received as a student at the University of Tennessee-Martin. “My friends thought it was really neat — I think everyone got a little jealous,” Sutherland said. “You really don’t see the homemade care packages that much anymore because it’s so easy to get on the Internet and ship something.”

Danai Gurira reveals little about ‘Walking Dead’ Associated Press
NEW YORK — Asked about the upcoming season of “The Walking Dead,” Danai Gurira goes silent. When prompted again, she breaks into laughter: “I’m thinking. How I’m
going to answer without saying anything?” The actress, who will mark her second full season as the machetewielding fan favorite Michonne when the AMC show returns Oct. 13, is still figuring out how to
dodge questions about what will happen so she doesn’t reveal plotlines. Gurira doesn’t let on much about the new season, although she says many fans are asking whether romance will bloom for Michonne and
Sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). “We know from the comic books even that these two characters do develop a connection. How exactly that plays out — I don’t know — we’ll have to all see,” she says.

Harmon just part of the gang on unstoppable ‘NCIS’ BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer
NEW YORK — Life comes with few chances to witness a fundamental law being turned on its head. But last season 18.5 million viewers did just that every week, tuning to “NCIS” to certify it as one of TV’s highest-rated shows and, even more impressively, make it a series whose audience after 10 seasons has expanded, not shriveled, with age. “NCIS,” which averaged 11.8 million viewers its first season back in 200304, grew by more than a million viewers last year alone. This, of course, contradicts TV’s natural order. “NCIS” (which starts its 11th season Tuesday at 7 p.m. on CBS seems to have a long-term lease on TV’s fountain of youth. It doesn’t hurt that “NCIS” maintains an absorbing, go-down-easy recipe of drama, character and humor that no other
show is able to match. “We’ve been successful so far,” says series star Mark Harmon with some understatement, “and we keep finding ways to grow it.” But don’t go laying too much credit for that growth, or any other metric of success, at Harmon’s feet. He’s the star, of course, playing tormented but intrepid Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Special Agent in Charge of the military’s Major Case Response Team. Harmon is surrounded by a sturdy troupe of actors including fellow charter cast members Michael Weatherly (NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo), David McCallum (Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard) and the wildly popular Pauley Perrette (as Goth lab rat Abby Sciuto). “There’s four of us who were there in the beginning, plus pretty much 90 percent of our crew,” says Harmon, citing the stability of the show’s pro-
Cryptoquip
duction team as one key reason for its continued robustness. Granted, there have been comings and goings. This summer, “NCIS” fans were shocked to learn that Cote de Pablo was exiting after eight seasons. The new season’s first two episodes give her character, Special Agent Ziva David, a dramatic send-off. “We wish Cote well,” says Harmon. “But for those of us still here, it’s all about moving on: ‘This is what we’ve got, and we’re going to find a way to make it even better.’ “I’m not trying to shuck off our success, because it’s all earned, every bit of it. By a lot of people.” Thus does Harmon reaffirm his one-for-alland-all-for-one manifesto. “I’m not the big dog,” he says flatly. “I might be a dog. But there’s a lot of dogs.” Now 62, Harmon is an unlikely TV superstar. His manner during a re-
cent interview is friendly but crisp, soft-spoken and firmly self-effacing. With his pretty-boy looks matured in middle age, this is the all-grown-up version of the star quarterback at UCLA who, after brief turns in law school, advertising and selling shoes, set his sights anew on acting and made good. He forged a solid career in a succession of TV series, including “Reasonable Doubts,” ‘‘Chicago Hope” and “St. Elsewhere,” where, nearly 30 years ago, he played the first prime-time hero to contract, and die of, AIDS. His films include “The Presidio,” ‘‘Natural Born Killers” and “Freaky Friday.” Still, the man crowned as “the greatest actor who ever lived” by “Family Guy” cartoon aesthete Peter Griffin never reached the top tier of show-biz, even as he weathered accolades like People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive”
in 1986. And, as with most actors, he has also suffered setbacks, such as his ABC private-eye drama “Charlie Grace,” which lasted little more than a month in 1995. So when “NCIS” arrived as a spinoff of the durable but non-flashy military drama “JAG,” there was no particular reason to expect fireworks from this new venture. “We were able to keep it afloat a couple of years because we weren’t good enough to get all the attention and we weren’t bad enough to get canceled,” says Harmon with a laugh. “And the biggest thing: We shoot in Santa Clarita,” which sits 30 miles comfortably removed from Los Angeles. “Nobody from the network wanted to drive out there!” Network execs stayed out of their hair. “NCIS” still shoots at Santa Clarita Studios, which means a lengthy commute for Harmon and many of his cast mates.
That’s fine with him. Ten years and running on “NCIS” isn’t about to drive him somewhere else. “I’ve been acting long enough to appreciate the kind of opportunity this show is,” he says. “It’s a machine, but it’s a machine that’s forever changing, and if we’re able to maintain what we have here, I don’t see any reason why it can’t continue for a while.” How long? Harmon answers by explaining what it is about “NCIS” he savors the most. “I love the drive to work,” he says. “I love getting up and looking forward to where I’m going.” If steering his ‘91 Bimmer northward from his Santa Monica home each dawn ever starts to feel punishing, “I think that will be the time to hang it up,” he declares. “But as long as we’re finding ways to do new stories and grow these characters, I’ll be there.”
Performer Linda Ronstadt confronts Parkinson’s disease BY JOHN CARUCCI Associated Press
NEW YORK — These days, it’s hard for Linda Ronstadt to get around without her forearm crutches. The debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease require her to relax for a few minutes before starting an interview. But once she’s ready, the 67-yearold has full command of her voice, even though she’s no longer able to sing. Ronstadt’s voice was one of music’s great treasures, anchoring hits like “When Will I Be Loved” and “You’re No Good” and hop-scotching across genres including pop, rock, jazz and folk. She’s sold more than 30 million albums. While her singing voice has been silenced, she’s expressing herself in her memoir, “Simple Dreams.” It touches on the many milestones in her career, though more personal matters, like her high-profile romances with Jerry Brown and others, are briefly mentioned or not at all. It also doesn’t discuss her Parkinson’s diagnosis, which came after the book was written. Last week, Ronstadt spoke to The Associated Press about the book and battling the degenerative disease, among other topics. AP: How have you adapted to living with Parkinson’s? Ronstadt: I have to ask people to do things for me that are hard. That’s been the hardest thing, I think. It’s harder to go out and do things. I’m not driving anymore. I’m not quite sure of my reflexes. ... I
don’t want to go anyplace where I might get confused. I can really drive fine, but I just don’t go out by myself that much anymore. I live like a person with a disability now. AP: Has Michael J. Fox (who also has Parkinson’s) reached out to you? Ronstadt: I have an email from him. You know, he’s been a great person to raise awareness. Bless his heart because it’s something that people need to know about. Of course, the most promising treatment is fetal stem cell, which is also a great treatment for diabetes, MS, all kinds of things. And of course, the Christian right will not allow that research. It’s a terrible thing that they’re blocking that research because it could help so many people. It could save lives. ... But they won’t get out of the way. AP: Do you see a different political climate today than in the 1970s? Ronstadt: I see an impasse with people that are not rational. There are people in the government that don’t believe in the empirical wisdom of science. They don’t believe that when you have an observed demonstration and when you can repeat an experiment and have the same result each time and prove it to people and print it in a credible science journal that is peer-reviewed, they don’t believe that’s truth. ‘Oh the Earth is 7,000 years old or 10,000 years old,’ which you know is not true. And that there’s no such thing as climate change and they are just going on in their bubble. They’re stupid. They’re doing harm to rest of us.
AP: At what point did you want to write a book? Ronstadt: I got a couple of different contacts from publishing companies saying they’d be interested in a book about my work, not a kiss-and-tell book, which I specifically put in the contract. Just a book about my work and what I did. So I thought it might be interesting to write a book. There have been a lot of people that had written about me saying that I thought this or I sang that for this or that reason. So I wanted to tell my side of it. AP: How do you cope with Parkinson’s? Ronstadt: There are a couple of things that I’m really passionate about. One of them is immigration reform. They’ve got to do something about the laws because they’re separating families, ripping families apart, setting up situations where people are permanently left out of the economic pie. They’re interfering with a natural flow of humanity. Back and forth across the border has been going on for centuries. There never used to be a problem. People used to come and go. We’re a nation of immigrants, and the way it’s has been directed at Mexico, it’s been the most hateful kind of racism. AP: What are some of your proudest moments? Ronstadt: I got to sing with Placido Domingo. ... I got to sing with Aaron Neville, who is one of my favorites. Got to sing with Brian Wilson, one of the great high tenors. And Ricky Skaggs, a bluegrass tenor. I’m also proud of my musical friendship with Emmylou Harris.
Avicii fuses musical genres on debut Associated Press
NEW YORK — When Avicii debuted his electronic-country fusion at the Ultra Music Festival in March, he was met with criticism. Months later, he said the controversy helped him. “People’s expectations were just lowered so much. Country and house? This has got to be a joke,” the DJ-producer said. “Once you get over the fact that it’s country and house, just listen to it as music, a lot of people realized it’s pretty good.” “Wake Me Up” is Avicii’s proof. The upbeat folk tune has topped the charts around the world. It has
peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, where the song is platinum. Avicii, born Tim Bergling in Sweden, fuses many genres on his debut album, “True,” released this week. The 24-yearold prefers the term folk over country, and believes folk and electronic music aren’t so different. “(Folk is) really stripped down and it’s not as complicated as a lot of other things, so to put a 4/4 beat under it and play around and add synths, it really wasn’t hard,” he said. “I never felt like I was forcing anything at all, it just felt completely natural,
otherwise, I never would have done it.” Avicii said he’s finally ready to release his first full-length album. “I’ve always wanted to have an album, but there hasn’t been time for me to not tour and actually sit down and finish an album the way I want my album to sound,” he said of “True,” which he recorded in three months. “Now (there) is no pressure really for me to make an album,” he added. “I’ve been able to play these bigger venues and still advance and make my brand bigger without even thinking about making an album.”
