Marsh invents bathtub lift BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
MARSH TOWN – Ricky Marsh was just looking for a way to help his father-in-law. He did -- along with other elderly people who have trouble taking a relaxing bath. The 59-year-old local man has come up with a design to help those physically challenged or disabled now take a bath without fear of injury. Marsh calls his patentpending design the Tru-Help Lift. “When I went to find a lift for my father-in-law five years ago, I was told there was nothing made that would get him all the way in the tub,� said Marsh, owner of Ricky Marsh Ornamental Iron and Construction. Hearing the news put the skilled iron man to work. “I worked on that thing for a week and didn’t do anything in my shop that paid money,� he said. “It has taken me five years

McDonald’s franchise owner loves giving back BY HEATHER SMITH hsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Now a successful businessman, Lew Anderson remembers back to the days when he was in junior high and successful athletes came to talk to his class about being positive, setting goals and how great it would feel when they achieved those goals. Anderson was inspired by
those athletes and now that he is a well-respected member of his community, as well as a successful McDonald’s franchise owner, he has started giving back the lessons to middle school boys that he was so lucky to receive when he was their age. “I was inspired to begin volPlease see OWNER | 3A

ALLERGIES CONTINUED FROM 1A
Mercedes after she explained Everett’s reaction to the peanut skin test set the record for the allergist’s practice. According to Mercedes, the doctor said he had yet in his 30 years of practice seen such a severe allergy. “Even the protein in the air (from peanuts) could send him into anaphylactic shock,” explained Mercedes. “If he had been exposed to peanuts without an EpiPen, I don’t know what we would have done.” As any parent would do, Mercedes sprang into action for the sake of protecting her son’s health. Apart from immediately removing all peanuts and peanut products from their house, the mom began researching about peanut food allergies online. Turns out, shared Mercedes, food allergies have been on the rise since 1997 and have increased 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, according to a study released this year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Mercedes said she’s yet to read about any clear answers explaining this trend, though a popular theory credits the rise to modern food manipulation such as hormone injection and GMOs. There are “hidden dangers” everywhere since many restaurants cook in peanut oil and there is no FDA regulation on how peanut contamination should be noted on food, said the mother. Wordage can range from

Longer EpiPens are the traditional design. Once the cap is removed and the seal is broken, the needle must be inserted into the body in the leg or arm and held for 10 seconds to ensure all the medication is deposited into the bloodstream. The boxier style pen is the newest design and gives automated instructions and once the needle is inserted only has to be held in place five seconds. The automated instructions count down for you. Mercedes said she always carries extra EpiPens and a demo of the automated pen so she is prepared to explain their usage to whomever may ask. “contains peanuts” to “processed on the same equipment as peanuts” and despite misconception Mercedes said the phrases mean essentially the same thing. Apart from lifestyle changes made at home, Mercedes said the biggest “eye opener” has been finding a cooperative daycare for Everett. “That’s been really difficult because the schools in Corinth do not have a peanut policy and that’s my biggest complaint,” said Mercedes.
Mercedes said Everett’s daycare at the time, a private Christian daycare in Corinth, refused to make any policy changes to limit the presence of peanut allergens since they could not guarantee that the multiuse facility would remain peanut free. “We didn’t expect a guarantee,” said Mercedes, “just a recognition. We understand you can’t live in a peanutfree world.” Fatal reactions occur most often outside of the

home in schools and restaurants and every three accidental reactions are statistically fatal so the point is to lessen the exposure as much as possible, said Mercedes. The daycare still refused a change in policy. The only option they offered was to send a letter home one time asking parents to consider sending peanut-free snacks and lunches with their kids to daycare. But Mercedes said they made it clear the letter would be a suggestion and there would be no follow-up or enforcement to avoid negative recourse from parents. Mercedes said she has heard the criticisms from some other parents who argue for their rights to decide what foods they will or won’t send to school for their kids’ lunches and snacks saying, “Just because your kid has an allergy, my kid shouldn’t have to suffer.” “You have to boil it down to inconvenience versus life-threatening. What may be an inconvenience to one child is life-threatening to another,” said Mercedes. She said one child’s inconvenience in being denied “PB&J” at school is trumped by another child’s life-threatening allergy. “It comes down to compassion and doing the right thing when you know better,” said Mercedes. Everett is now enrolled at Crossroads Learning Center by Church of the Crossroads, which is licensed by the state so that all menus must be approved
by the state and no outside food may be brought into the facility unless prescribed by a doctor, said Judy Bray, school director. While Everett isn’t the first student to be brought into the school with food allergies, Bray said he is the most “aggressive” case they’ve seen and so his needs are accommodated strictly. Bray said several of their children have various allergies and the school does what it can to remove the things that would aggravate those allergies. “Our parents have been very appreciative of (that) fact and they work very well with us on that fact,” said Bray. “It’s a team effort when you’re taking care of children like this and (our parents) are very understanding.” Bray said the school not only monitors their menu but they implement other strict measures to protect Everett by keeping him in his own high chair with his own food while in the cafeteria. His classmates’ hands and faces are washed after eating and the classroom areas Everett comes in contact with are wiped down before he arrives. Though Bray said the school is strict about cleanliness anyway to avoid the spread of communicable diseases among the children. “This school has gone above and beyond to accommodate for Everett’s peanut allergy and make us feel he is as safe as possible when he is not
with us,” said Mercedes about Crossroads Learning Center. The schools efforts are matched by Mercedes willingness to educate the community about food allergies, particularly peanut allergies, and train them in how to use an EpiPen since epinephrine is the only means to reverse anaphylactic shock to save a life. Mercedes began with Everett’s school when on his first day Bray held a staff meeting where Mercedes trained all staff on how to use an EpiPen and distributed EpiPens to every staff member who keep them in their desks at all times. “Our staff is always trained in CPR and first aid and so now everyone is aware of what anaphylactic shock is. We really appreciated the training by Mercedes,” said Bray. Mercedes said she is amazed at how many people aren’t aware of what’s going on concerning the rise in food allergies among children. “There are some who are very open and willing to learn about it,” said Mercedes, “Anyone who will listen to me I’m trying to tell them about peanut awareness and how dangerous it is. I’m trying to educate as many people as I can about EpiPens and how they work. “I feel like this has turned into a mission of sorts. It is my job to protect my child forever. I’ll do what it takes.” (Sarah Rowland is a Selmer, Tenn. resident and a freelance writer.)

Today’s Highlights: CONTINUED FROM 1A
On Nov. 3, 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States, defeating President George H.W. Bush. In Illinois, Democrat Carol Moseley-Braun became the first black woman elected to the U.S. Senate.
On this date: In 1839, the first Opium War between China and Britain broke out. In 1900, the first major U.S. automobile show opened at New York’s Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the Automobile Club of America. In 1903, Panama proclaimed its independence from Colombia. In 1911, the Chevrolet Motor Car Co. was founded in Detroit by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant. (The company was acquired by General Motors in 1918.) In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won a landslide election victory over Republican challenger Alfred M. “Alf” Landon. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2, the second manmade satellite, into orbit; on board was a dog named Laika who was sacrificed in the experiment. In 1960, the Meredith Willson musical “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” opened on Broadway with Tammy Grimes in the title role. In 1961, Burmese diplomat U Thant (oo thahnt) was appointed acting U.N. Secretary-General following the death of Dag Hammarskjold. President John F. Kennedy established the U.S. Agency for International Development. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson soundly defeated Republican Barry Goldwater to win a White House term in his own right. In 1970, Salvador Allende was inaugurated as president of Chile. In 1979, five Communist Workers Party members were killed in a clash with heavily armed Ku Klux Klansmen and neoNazis during an anti-Klan protest in Greensboro, N.C. In 1986, the Iran-Contra affair began to come to light as Ash-Shiraa, a pro-Syrian Lebanese magazine, first broke the story of U.S. arms sales to Iran.

unteering at the school because when I was their age, I saw successful athletes visiting my school and talking to me about being successful and achieving goals I set for myself. I felt a responsibility to reach out because people reached out to me as a child,” Anderson explained. He was inspired by people who did the same thing for him that he is doing for these children. “Most of all, I want to reach out to kids who are coming from challenged households because they are the ones who need structure and guidance,” said the businessman. Anderson is also a retired veteran of the U.S. Navy with more than 20 years of service as well as a husband and a father. Married for 29 years, his daughter Ashley now serves as his business manager. “My military background provided me with principles, pride and integrity. It also gave me a sense of responsibility for developing the characters of younger people,” he said. He has owned two Memphis McDonald’s locations for 11 years and the two Corinth locations for three years. It was last year when he decided he wanted to be-
come involved with local schools. “I visited them once or twice last year and then I felt a strong sense of responsibility to be present at their Friday morning prayer sessions. This year I attend them on a regular basis,” explained Anderson. When asked if being a McDonald’s franchise owner had anything to do with his connection to the school, his answer was sincere. “It was always about the students. The school came first and my success as a businessman did not prompt me to become involved with the children. It was simply the right thing to do. I do this for myself and for the benefit of the children that I talk to every week. I enjoy working with like-minded people,” replied the dedicated school volunteer. Anderson and Lighthouse Foundation Executive Director Gary Caveness are both leaders in a young boys leadership program at Corinth Junior High called “Boyz 2 Men”. “This program is held by the Lighthouse Foundation. Myself and Gary Caveness are the leaders of the 7th grade boys while Greg Parker is the leader of the 8th grade boys. This program has been practiced since 1996 and has become increasingly popular in this school,”

Lew Anderson Owner of McDonald’s Anderson described. “On Tuesdays we go into the 7th grade lunch and take kids to the auditorium to teach them life skills,” said Caveness. “We talk to these young men about looking forward to their futures, setting goals, staying out of trouble and hanging out with positive people. Our hope is that these meetings will give these young men a sense of direction in their lives,” explained group leader Caveness. He and Anderson believe that giving these young men structure now will prevent them from making negative decisions later on in life that could have dire consequences. “Giving these boys a solid foundation that some of them might not be receiving at home could help them to one day become successful, hard-working adults who have strong senses of value and respect for others and pride in themselves,” said Caveness.
Cancer Can Cost a Lot.
So many young men today grow up in struggling households because both parents work full time and they do not always have enough time to sit down with their children and discuss major life decisions, noted Anderson. “I was inspired by my father, who was a pastor. He inspired me to be a guide to children the way that he had been a guide to me growing up. He made me desire to be a positive role model to young people who needed guidance and structure. I also wanted to promote the traditional family structure that so many kids do not have anymore,” noted Anderson. “I enjoy everything about being involved with the school and guiding these children into becoming responsible adults,” explained the businessman. However, there is one part of this program he enjoys most of all. It brought him to recall a story from when he was in school.
“My math teacher called on me to solve an equation. He pressured me to solve it. And when I got the right answer there was a little light that went off in my head. I like seeing the light come on in kids when they improve themselves,” Anderson described. “It is important to start teaching young boys these skills at the right age. They need to be old enough to comprehend the lessons they are being given, but still young enough to become excited about learning something new. It’s all about timing with these boys. I believe this is the most challenging age for these young men because they are no longer young children, but they are not adults either,” Caveness explained. “I want to guide these youth into becoming the hard-working people this community needs. I want to teach them that hard work and dedication can result in accomplished goals and their dreams are worth reaching for,” described Caveness. By giving these lessons to a group of young men in this community, both Anderson and Caveness hope to make a difference in the future of today’s youth.

“I hadn’t even thought about a patent when I was designing the lift,” said Marsh. “It was just something I was working on to help others.” What the inventor came up with is an alternative to expensive bathroom remodeling. “The lift can be installed when needed and removed at any time,” said Marsh. “Most homes are not designed with future needs like this in mind.

MSU invests in innovation BY MARK E. KEENUM MSU President
Mississippi State University welcomed the Governor’s proclamation designating November as “Innovation Month” in Mississippi because it puts a spotlight on the intellectual energy we seek to nurture for the benefit of people here and around the world. Every month is innovation month at Mississippi State. Innovation and discovery that boost economic development is part of our institutional DNA. Mississippi State is among the nation’s top 50 research universities in agricultural sciences, engineering, computer science, social sciences, and the humanities. We channel $230 million a year into research and development. That helps attract new industries and new jobs in areas such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing, biofuels, and telecommunications, while increasing productivity in our state’s $7.5 billion agriculture and natural resources sectors. And we foster an environment of innovation and creativity that inspires students to be successful in a fast-changing world. With support from our Office of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer, Mississippi State students have swept eight of the nine awards given during the past three years in the student division of the Mississippi New Venture Challenge Competition sponsored by Innovate Mississippi. Mississippi State was the second university to offer a course in iPhone programming (Stanford University in California was ahead of us by one semester), and starting in January we’ll offer a dual enrollment course for selected high school students on developing apps for smartphones and other devices in the context of entrepreneurship and marketing. That course is offered in cooperation with the Toyota Enhancement Endowment Fund, formed in conjunction with the Toyota plant at Blue Springs, and the CREATE Foundation. The Thad Cochran Endowment for Entrepreneurship on campus promotes entrepreneurship among faculty, students, and businesses by supporting start-ups with grants, scholarships, incubator space, and mentoring. Mississippi State embraces life-changing innovation and technology-based economic development across a wide spectrum. Last year we hosted a conference on global food security. Our new Global Center for Aquatic Food Security will work with the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in developing countries. Mississippi State has been awarded $2 million by the U.S. Department of Labor to help accelerate job creation and reshore advanced manufacturing jobs. The effort led by our Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems Extension Center in Canton is a partnership with community colleges, workforce investment boards, Innovate Mississippi, and the Mississippi Development Authority. The newest supercomputer at our High Performance Computing Collaboratory will be one of the most powerful in the country, supporting research in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, Center for Computational Sciences, Geosystems Research Institute, Center for Battlefield Innovations, Institute for Genomics, Biocomputing and Biotechnology, and the MSU-led Northern Gulf Institute. Our Center for Environmental Health Sciences and researchers in our chemistry and biochemistry and molecular biology departments are working on a more effective antidote to nerve agents that could be used in chemical warfare. The antidote could also be used for insecticide poisoning. Our Energy Institute coordinates the efforts of 150 researchers and five component centers. Among them, the Sustainable Energy Research Center has commercialized several new technologies and operates a pilot-scale bio-oil and bio-crude production facility that lets industry partners test their products. We’re proud that the path to innovation in Mississippi runs through our university. Mark E. Keenum is president of Mississippi State University in Starkville and a member of the Board of Directors of Innovate Mississippi.
Prayer for today My Creator, may I remember that after thou didst create the earth thou didst say it was good. May I love the fragrance and beauty of the flowers which were made to nourish the soul, and the fruits and herbs which were made to nourish the body. May my song of thanksgiving be new every morning, as I awake in the abundance of what thou hast prepared. Amen.
A verse to share “And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
The first hustler runs the big con “Nothing is lost save honor.” So said Jim Fisk after he and Jay Gould survived yet another scrape in their corrupt and storied careers in the Gilded Age Fisk’s dismissal of honor came to mind while watching Barack Obama in Boston smugly explain how his vow -- “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it!” -- was now inoperative. All along, it had been a bait-and-switch. In Boston, Obama could no longer evade the truth. Hundreds of thousands of Americans who had purchased health insurance in the private market were getting notices their plans were being canceled. That this revelation had blown a hole in his credibility did not seem to trouble Obama. Indeed, the president appeared impatient with the complaints. “So if you’re getting one of those letters (canceling your insurance plan), just shop around in the new marketplace. ... You’re going to get a better deal.” Behind the arrogance is the reality: Obama has the veto power. No alteration of Obamacare, except for changes he approves, can be made before the winter of 2017. And by then, Obamacare will be so deeply em-
bedded in law and practice it will be beyond repeal. Y e t , Obama’s victory calls to Pat mind that of Buchanan King Pyrrhus of Epirus Columnist over the Romans at Asculum as described by Plutarch. Counting up his dead friends, dead commanders and dead soldiers, the king remarked, “Once more such victory and we are undone.” The price Obama will be a long time paying for this victory is historic and huge. First, there is the irreversible damage to his credibility and integrity. He conned the people into believing something he knew to be false -that all Americans would be allowed to keep the health care plans that they had and liked. Obama’s assurances of keeping your insurance plan if you like it now enters presidential history alongside George H.W. Bush’s “Read my lips! No new taxes,” Bill Clinton’s “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” and George W. Bush’s tales of yellow cake in Niger and hidden arsenals of WMDs. As for the idealistic avatar
of hope and change from 2008, who led the nation to believe that he was something new and different in politics, he has been revealed as the biggest cynic of them all. Moreover, where his campaign against Hillary Clinton in the primaries and John McCain in 2008 seemed to hold out promise of a newly competent progressive crowd, those hopes have all but vanished in the legendary incompetence of the Obamacare rollout. Here was the president’s signature program -- what Social Security was to FDR, Medicare to LBJ -- and one month into launch, it is grist for the mills of Saturday Night Live and Comedy Central. And though the Obamacare website will one day be repaired, and people may begin to sign up, the land mines in Obamacare are by no means all exploded. We will be walking right through them. As Obamacare requires the cancellation of insurance plans and forces Americans to buy more expensive insurance than they want, this will inevitably raise the cost of health care for the nation. And when the employer mandates cut in, many businesses will halt hiring at 49
employees to keep out of Obamacare, as others cut part-time workers to 29 hours a week to escape the mandates. This cannot but adversely impact an economy whose growth in job creation under Obama has been anemic at best for five years. Obama and cohorts are celebrating an historic achievement in passing Obamacare. But as one looks at Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Puerto Rico, Detroit and Illinois, the truth seems obvious. The welfare state that began with Bismarck is reaching the end of the line, just as the private sector that generates the wealth to sustain that state is now, almost everywhere, buckling under its weight. The deficits stretch to the horizon. The debts rise inexorably. Across the West, neo-socialism is out, the new austerity in. And of all the great advances proclaimed by progressives over a century and a half, from free schooling to Social Security, Obamacare looks like it will eventually be ranked among the last -- and the least. Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.
Obamacare winners have become whiners Henry Waxman made a plea Wednesday at the end of a House hearing grilling Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The California Democrat asked Republicans to reach across the aisle to work with Democrats to improve Obamacare. Yes, Henry Waxman, who has made a career of ideological witch hunts and smash-mouth partisanship, wants a cease-fire over Obamacare, or so he says. He was picking up a common liberal theme: It’s not fair that Republicans continue to oppose the president’s eponymous health-care law and pick at its failures, deceits and irrationalities. If only they were more reasonable, Obamacare could be tightened up with a few technocratic fixes and go on to its glorious destiny. It’s a little late to get Republican buy-in, though. That would have required serious compromise back in 2009, when Democrats, at the high tide of their power in the Obama era, saw no reason to make any. They insisted on this particular law, at this par-

ticular time. They own it. They own every canceled policy, every rate increase, every uninRich tended conLowry sequence and every unpopNational Review ular intended consequence. It is theirs, lock, stock and two smoking barrels. But they can’t stop whining. They complain that Republicans aren’t as cooperative as Democrats were when the Medicare Part D prescription-drug plan had a rocky start. This is absurd. The Part D website experienced what could be accurately described as “glitches,” rather than the meltdown of HealthCare. gov. And Democrats supported the basic idea of the prescription-drug benefit. They complain that what they really wanted was single-payer, but had to settle for the unsatisfying secondbest of Obamacare. Paul Krugman calls the healthcare law “a clumsy, ugly structure that more or less
deals with a problem, but in an inefficient way.” The reason they couldn’t get singlepayer, though, is that there weren’t enough Democratic votes for it. The White House is loath to give up the falsity about everyone keeping their current insurance. White House aide Valerie Jarrett tweeted that it is a FACT that “nothing in #Obamacare forces people out of their health plans.” Never mind that the entire architecture of the law is based on forcing people in the individual insurance market out of their existing plans and onto the exchanges. In a health-care speech in Boston, President Barack Obama didn’t say anything about how his prior declarations had been misleading. Instead, he tweaked his dishonesty for a different positive spin: “For the fewer than 5 percent of Americans who buy insurance on your own, you will be getting a better deal.” Not if they are forced -- as many of them will be -- to buy benefits they don’t need at a price they don’t want to pay. From the beginning,

Obamacare has depended on a political ethic of doing and saying whatever is necessary. The falsehood about people keeping their coverage was essential to selling the legislation. So the president repeated it relentlessly. Now that actually allowing people keep their current coverage would undermine a pillar of the law, the president will resist all efforts to make good on his famous promise. Near the end of his Boston remarks, the president said, “If Republicans in Congress were as eager to help Americans get covered as some Republican governors have shown themselves to be, we’d make a lot of progress.” Is that how we’d make a lot of progress? The president got his law, and it’s possible more people will be uninsured in 2014 than if it had never passed. That’s on him, no matter how much he and his supporters want to evade responsibility for their own achievement. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Shooting delays thousands of fliers Thousands of fliers across the U.S. were delayed after the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport closed parts of the airport. The prolonged shutdown at the nation’s thirdlargest airport was particularly troublesome for those hoping to head to the East Coast or across the Pacific Ocean. About 1,550 flights with 167,000 passengers were affected, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said in a statement Saturday. Of those, 724 were scheduled arrivals with an estimated 67,850 passengers and 826 were departures with an estimated 99,200 passengers on board. After Friday’s shooting, flights bound for Los Angeles that had not yet taken off were held at their gates for hours by the Federal Aviation Administration. The so-called ground stop lasted several hours. Some flights already in the air were allowed to land at LAX, while others diverted to nearby airports. Some passengers who landed at LAX after the shooting spent at least two hours sitting on planes parked in a remote corner of the airport. The ripple effect was felt across the country. Tasi Lua arrived at LAX after the shooting Friday, but was unable to board his flight to Denver. He found a corner in Terminal 2, plugged in his laptop
and cellphone and slept on the floor. “I’m used to traveling, and things happening. It wasn’t too bad,â€? said the 25-year-old. “I could see other people who weren’t taking it as well.â€? Even though the airport never fully closed, travelers trying to fly out were unable to reach it because of massive road closures. Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, which operates the Los Angeles airport, said it will take “quite a deal of timeâ€? to get operations back to normal. She said it will be a “carefully orchestrated logistical ballet.â€? A man carrying a note that said he wanted to “kill TSAâ€? pulled a semiautomatic rifle from a bag around 9:20 a.m. local time and shot his way past a security checkpoint. One Transportation Security Administration officer was killed, authorities said. Â
Man convicted in 7 slayings dies A drifter who wound up on death row, convicted of killing seven people in a series of Tennessee fast-food robberies two decades ago, died Friday at a hospital. Paul Dennis Reid, 55, was pronounced dead at Nashville General Hospital at Meharry, the state Department of Corrections said. Department spokeswoman Dorinda Carter said the cause of death would be determined by the state medical exam-

iner’s office. Reid was sentenced to death for the 1997 slayings of seven people, including three teenagers, at fast-food restaurants in Nashville and Clarksville. “Glad he’s dead,� said Doyle Brown, whose 17-year-old daughter, Andrea, was among three people killed at a McDonald’s in the Nashville area. “I wished it had happened through the justice system several years ago, rather than him just getting sick and dying. But he’s done, and I’m good with that.� Reid, a former Texas drifter, came to Nashville in hopes of becoming a country singer. He was fired from his job as a dishwasher at a Nashville Shoney’s in February 1997 for losing his temper and throwing a plate at another worker. The next day, Sarah Jackson, 16, and Steve Hampton, 25, were slain execution-style at a Captain D’s restaurant not far from the Shoney’s. One month later, Ronald Santiago, 27; Robert A. Sewell Jr., 23; and Andrea Brown were shot and killed in a midnight robbery at a McDonald’s a few miles from the Captain D’s. A month after the second set of killings, Angela Holmes, 21, and Michelle Mace, 16, were kidnapped during a robbery at a BaskinRobbins ice cream store in Clarksville. Their throats were cut and their bodies dumped at Dunbar Cave State Natural Area.

Convention center gets new director
Burned body found in Brookhaven
VICKSBURG — The Vicksburg Convention Center is getting a new executive director. Annette Kirklin’s hiring was announced Friday by VenuWorks, an Iowabased company that manages the convention center under a city contract. Kirklin has served as director of the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation and Center for the past six years. She will start her new job Dec. 2. Kirklin will replace Troy Thorn, who is taking another position with VenuWorks. Thursday was Thorn’s last day. Kirklin is a Vicksburg resident who also chairs the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau’s board of directors. Â
BROOKHAVEN — Authorities are investigating the death of an unidentified person whose burned body was found on a residential street in Brookhaven earlier this week. The Enterprise-Journal reports that the Lincoln County coroner’s office performed an autopsy on the body after a Brookhaven police officer discovered the remains on Wednesday afternoon. Deputy Coroner John Riggs said the victim has been identified, but the name and gender weren’t immediately released pending notification of relatives. Brookhaven Police Chief Bobby Bell said investigators are treating the death as a homicide. Â
Man charged with extorting teen girl
Man fights sentence in child porn case
GREENWOOD — A Greenwood man has been arrested on charges he posted sexually explicit photos of a teenage girl on the Internet and tried to extort money from her. Christopher Dennis, 21, was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of extortion and enticement of a 16-yearold girl. Leflore County Sheriff Ricky Banks said Dennis allegedly posted explicit photos of the girl on the Internet following an online exchange and then began to demand money from her. The girl’s parents reported the allegations to authorities.
JACKSON — A Mississippi man fighting a 60-year sentence for producing and distributing pornography featuring a 5-year-old boy argues that the prison term is unfair because his cooperation with authorities allowed the breakup of child porn rings in Wisconsin and the Netherlands. Brian Robinson, now 32, of Potts Camp in north Mississippi pleaded guilty in January 2012 to creating various forms of child pornography and distributing on the Internet inside and outside the United States. Robinson admitted that the sexually explicit photos of him with the boy were
among the material distributed. The Department of Justice said Robinson was arrested as part of an international child pornography investigation that has resulted in the arrests of 27 people and the identification of 138 child victims. Robinson argues in briefs filed with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans that at his sentencing, a federal judge in Mississippi failed to consider his cooperation with authorities in the U.S. and the Netherlands. The sentencing issue is among several — including the legality of the search of Robinson’s home and workplace — that are scheduled to be argued Monday before a three-judge 5th Circuit panel in New Orleans. In his appeal, Robinson does not attack the facts of the case. Prosecutors said in court documents that an investigation launched in Massachusetts ultimately lead the FBI to trace the Internet Protocol address to Accurate Roofing Company Inc. in Potts Camp, where Robinson was employed. The FBI obtained search warrants for the business and Robinson’s home in Marshall County. The government said agents found 260 images of child pornography and 19 movies containing child pornography at Robinson’s workplace. They also found evidence that linked Robinson to an instant messaging program on an online forum for individuals interested in young boys and young girls.

ACTC meets truck food drive goal successfully BY JOSEPH MILLER jmiller@dailycorintian.com
The Crossroads area responded to the “Pack the Red Pick-Up Day” on Wednesday to make sure the truck was full of food items. Canned food items were needed to fill the bed of the Alcorn Career and Technology Center (ACTC) truck and they asked for help from the local community. They got the help. The ACTC’s seven career and technical organizations sponsored this canned food drive as part of the school’s National Red Ribbon Week celebration on October 30. “The students’ goal was to pack the bed of the school’s red pick-up truck with canned food to be donated to the A.M.E.N. Food Pantry in Corinth,” said Jennifer Koon, CTE Counselor at ACTC. “That goal was met and exceeded, thanks to the generosity of students, their families, school staff and community members.” According to Koon, a total of 1,700 canned and non-perishable food items were collected to help meet needs in Alcorn County. The seven career and tech-
nical organizations sponsoring the drive were: Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Future Educators Association (FEA), Future Farmers of America (FFA), Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), SkillsUSA, and Technology Student Association (TSA). “We want our students to have every advantage they possibly can, as they begin their journey into young adulthood,” added Koon. “By promoting positive activities like the ‘Pack the Red Pick-up Day’ and the others that were involved in the Red Ribbon week, we can teach students about the problems caused by drug use and we hope to make a difference in their lives.” Koon said students need to know the facts and know they have adults that support them on making good choices in life, and Red Ribbon week is a good time to reinforce this. Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program, reaching millions of Americans during the last week of October every year.

Excel By 5 continues to be a benefit to the local community. The Corinth-Alcorn County Excel By 5 Family and Parent Support team recently implemented a new program that is one of the requirements for the community to become a certified Excel By 5 child friendly community. The Kiwanis Club generously donated funds to create a bag with vital information for every new mother who gives birth at Magnolia Regional Health Center. Leah McQueen, an Excel By 5 Family Team representative, coordinates and delivers 50 of the newborn bags each month to the Labor and Delivery Department at Magnolia Regional Health Center. “We started the program in September and have been pleased with the support,” said Bobby Capps, chairman of the Excel by 5 Family and Parent Support team. “Birth to age five is the most valuable time to prepare our children to enter kindergarten and build a foundation for lifelong success. Our goal is to disseminate community resource information and information about early childhood intervention, screenings and other important material to emphasize the importance of early brain development.” The Corinth-Alcorn County Excel By 5 Coalition wants to strengthen the relationship between the child and parents by providing tools that will help all family members understand the importance of brain development during the first five years of life. The newborn bags are just one of these tools. Each bag contains items to encourage Talk, Touch, Read and Play. These four points emphasize the simple ways families can jump-start brain development even in infancy. Research has shown that 80 percent of a baby’s brain

ers could get relatively inexpensive, bare-bones coverage, but those plans will no longer be available. Many consumers are frustrated by what they call forced upgrades as they’re pushed into plans with coverage options they don’t necessarily want. Owners of canceled policies have a few options. They can stay in the same plan for the same price for one more year if they have one of the few plans that were grandfathered in. They can buy a similar plan with upgraded benefits that meets the new standards — likely at a significant cost increase. Or, if they make less than $45,960 for a single adult or $94,200 for a family of four, they may qualify for subsidies. It’s unclear how many individual plans are being canceled — no one agency keeps track. But it’s likely in the millions. Insurance industry experts estimate that about 14 million people, or 5 percent of the total market for health care coverage, buy individual policies. Most people get coverage through jobs and aren’t affected.

middle class may get rude awakenings when they access the websites and realize they’ll have to pay significantly more. Those not eligible for subsidies generally receive more comprehensive coverage than they had under their soon-to-be-canceled policies, but they’ll have to pay a lot more. Because of the higher cost, the Griffins are considering paying the federal penalty — about $100 or 1 percent of income next year — rather than buying health insurance. They say they are healthy and don’t typically run up large health care costs. Dean Griffin said that will be cheaper because it’s unlikely they will get past the nearly $13,000 deductible for the coverage to kick in. Individual health insurance policies are being canceled because the Affordable Care Act requires plans to cover certain benefits, such as maternity care, hospital visits and mental illness. The law also caps annual out-of-pocket costs consumers will pay each year. In the past, consum-

First-time grandma crushed when told to remain at home DEAR ABBY: I recently found out that after 13 years of marriage, my son and daughter-inlaw are expecting a child; my first grandchild! I was overjoyed at the news. They live about 1,000 miles away from me. I mentioned to my son that I have been looking at flights and want to come out a week before her due date so I’ll be there for the big moment, and stay three to four weeks to help. I was shocked when he told me they don’t want me to visit until at least three weeks after the birth, and stay for one week MAX. He said my daughter-in-law will need time to heal, and they both need time to adjust to being parents before they have guests. I am not a “guest.” I am the grandmother! I was also told not to expect to take care of the baby because it is “their” job. It hurts so bad not to be wanted to share in the joy of the new baby. I have always dreamed of watching my grandchild take his or her first breath, and see the look on my son’s face when he holds his child for the first time. Is there anything I can do to change their minds and allow me to be there at this important moment? Do you agree that they are being unreasonable and cruel? -- FAMILY FIRST IN FLORIDA DEAR FAMILY FIRST: I’m sure you are a loving mother, but I don’t agree, and I doubt you can change their minds. If it is going to take three weeks
for your daughter-inlaw to heal, it appears the baby’s birth will be by Csection, and she will need Abigail time to regain strength. Van Buren her The new parents will also Dear Abby need time to adjust to the baby’s schedules. They will be sleep-deprived, and she will be nursing every few hours and not up for company. While you have always dreamed of being present at your grandchild’s birth, the reality is your son and daughter-in-law would prefer this intimate moment be shared by them alone. I’m sorry you are hurt, truly. Let them know you are willing to help them in any way you can on their terms, and take your cues from them. Do not take any of this personally. DEAR ABBY: My grandmother died recently after a long life. A cousin decided that all of the grandchildren should chip in for an expensive floral arrangement. I reluctantly participated after my wife said it would be “cheap” of me to refuse. I had a closer relationship with Grandma than most of my cousins did, but I felt it was an odd request. I have always understood that flowers were sent
to the grieving family. In this instance, we WERE the family. It felt like we were sending condolences to ourselves. Am I wrong, or was I just being cheap, as my wife suggested? -- MOURNING IN NEVADA DEAR MOURNING: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Your assumption that families do not provide flowers at a loved one’s funeral was incorrect. It is very common for family members to arrange for a floral display or spray of flowers for a deceased relative’s casket. At a sad time like this, it is never wrong to err on the side of being generous, and I’m glad that is what you did. DEAR ABBY: I’m in fifth grade, and I have noticed that teachers pick favorites. I’d like to know if or how I could be one. -- NERVOUS STUDENT IN CALIFORNIA DEAR NERVOUS STUDENT: Teachers have favorites for various reasons. Sometimes it happens because they see something in a child that reminds them of how they were at that age. With others it’s because the student shows an interest in the subjects being taught, isn’t disruptive and always tries his or her best. And that is what I recommend you do. 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). Avoiding attention snags is easier if you have a goal. It also helps that you know yourself well. You have absolutely zero interest in certain topics, so don’t even bother pretending to engage them. Close the door. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Normalcy doesn’t come easily to everyone. You may not realize just how much energy someone is putting into presenting a good front. Your compassion will help to ease this person’s mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some of the people around you are more sensitive than you think they are. Be careful what you choose to laugh at. Laughter can bond people, or it can tear people down. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be observant. People around you need this from you because no one else sees things quite like you. In your lifetime, you’ll have the kind of insights that can change the world.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Scientists are starting to see a correlation between social anxiety and technology. Remember, the best connections are unplugged. Don’t let technology dictate your social life or impede your ability to connect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t want to understand a job; you want to master it. That’s why you’ll explore the inner workings and practice until you know for certain that you’re as good as you can be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Great people are strong people -- and not strong on the outside necessarily, but strong on the inside. To build up inner strength, stick to a job until it’s done. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will set out to have one kind of day and wind up on a journey entirely different from the one you had planned. Intriguing findings will be the highlight. This is just the beginning. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). If a picture is worth a thousand words, a touch is worth 100,000 pictures. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to make a physical connection. Your loved ones need it, and so do you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Making a mistake once is only natural and good. How else are you supposed to figure out what to do? You don’t want to make the same mistake twice, though, so stay aware. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A conversation that seems to have gone wrong will actually produce interesting and helpful results. Hang in there through the rough patches. Keep trying to understand what’s going on at the deeper levels. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being in control of your body is one way of showing the world that you’re in control of your life. Your willpower will be strong in the morning, so take advantage of this with excellent self-care in the a.m.

Shaw leads Gamecocks to victory BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Steve Spurrier didn’t like much of what he saw from South Carolina’s offense Saturday. He was very pleased, however, that the Gamecocks defense looked like its dominating, old self against Mississippi State. Connor Shaw passed for four touchdowns, Mike Davis moved past 1,000 yards this season and the 14th-ranked Gamecocks got five turnovers to defeat the Bulldogs 34-16 for their school-record tying 15th straight home victory Saturday. “We couldn’t run it very well and we couldn’t throw it very well,” Spurrier said. But “our defense played well and got the
turnovers that sort of set us up.” It had been a long time coming for a group that had been one of the Southeastern Conference’s best defenses the past few years. The Gamecocks had collected only 11 turnovers its first eight games, but got five of them — four off Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott — to pull away in the second half. The Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) got 20 points off the turnovers, including 10 in the third quarter as they went from a touchdown up to a 34-10 lead. It had been a frustrating time for defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward, who despite having the college football’s top pro pros-
pect in lineman Jadeveon Clowney, could not get consistent results from the defense. South Carolina had to replace five senior linebackers off last year’s team and Ward said it’s taken time to get the new faces up to speed. “We’re settling down and coming to play defense the way we’re used to around here,” he said. Shaw played quarterback just the way he always has — with an emphasis on results. He missed practice Monday and Tuesday with a virus and was not as sharp as usual. Still, the senior tied his career best with the four TD passes. He had scoring throws of 14 and 43 yards to Shaq Roland, 6 yards to Dam-
iere Byrd and 4 yards to Jerell Adams to move to 23-5 as South Carolina’s starting quarterback. Shaw can tie Todd Ellis’ school record for victories when South Carolina plays Florida here in two weeks. “I don’t keep up too much with career records,” Shaw said. “It’s good to have four touchdowns and I think we were 4 of 4 in the red zone.” Davis had 128 yards and became the Gamecocks’ first 1,000-yard rusher since Marcus Lattimore ran for 1,197 yards his freshman season three years ago. South Carolina won its seventh in row over the Bulldogs (4-4, 1-3). Prescott threw three
interceptions — he had just three in seven games coming in — and had a fumble. He did have TD runs of 1 and 11 yards, upping his SEC-leading touchdown total to 12. The Gamecocks got themselves back in the SEC Eastern Division hunt with last week’s 27-24, double-overtime victory at then No. 5 Missouri. They’ll still need help from Missouri and Georgia to make the Georgia Dome next month, but should have some friendly confines to make as they finish the season with home games against Florida, Coastal Carolina and Clemson after a week off. South Carolina’s home streak is the second current longest in the coun-
try behind Michigan’s 19 in a row. The home win streak “is big,” Clowney said. “We tied it. In two weeks, we’re coming in here to break it.” Mississippi State outgained South Carolina 378 to 305 and held the Gamecocks to 173 yards in the final three quarters. “But if you’re going to turn the ball over five times, go a minus-five in turnover ratio on the road in the SEC, your percentage to win is about one percent,” Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen said. “You can’t do those things and expect to win on the road.” Shaw, who threw for 201 yards and three TDs Please see

Kossuth taking a run at 3A cross country title BY SHEERY SHAWL Special for the Daily Corinthian
KOSSUTH — The Kossuth Aggies cross country team finished their season 59-0 against teams in the 1A, 2A, and 3A divisions. Led by lead runner, Riley McCalla, who is ranked number one in the state in 3A, KHS will take part in the MHSAA Cross Country Championship in Clinton on Saturday. Other members of the Aggie running group in-
clude Jordan Mills, Rick Hodum, senior Nathan Ginn, Kevin Ginn, Zach Shawl, senior Levi Bradley and senior alternate Avery Parks. “This group of boys worked hard this summer and throughout the season,” said fourth-year head coach Scotty Shettles. “Last week, they had a perfect score and that’s hard do ... it’s a reward they deserved.” At state, the Aggies
biggest competition will be St. Andrews Episcopal School, who has won the competition the last two years. The Aggies finished second, third, and second, consecutively, the last three years. “They have done everything I have asked them in practice and then got together at night on their own to put in another four or five miles,” said the coach. “They have pushed hard even being
sick and sometimes injured.” Shettles is anxious to see his team in action at the 3A meet. “We are looking forward to an exciting race,” he said. “We can win if we run well. These boys are already winners ... they give their all and have a strong drive to win.” Though graduating three of their top runners this year, the Aggies’ coach expects his team to
be strong again in 2014. “We will lose our first, fourth, and seventh runner,” the Aggie coach said, “We will still be strong and are fortunate to have some good young runners to help us out.” The Lady Aggies, who finished second in the 3-A Divisional Championship, are looking forward to a great race as well. “Despite having injuries and being young, these girls have done very
well this year,” Shettles said. “We only have two seniors and our team is very young, but very dedicated. We look forward to some exciting years ahead.” Running at state for the Lady Aggies will be Grace Stanford, Makiho Taniquchi, Kaylee Bonds, senior Shelbi Barnes, Sara Talley, Trinity Heavener, Morgan Hodum, and senior alternate Cheyenne Bennett.
Bulldogs hold on to edge past rival Florida 23-20 BY MARK LONG Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Todd Gurley scored twice in his first game in more than a month, helping Georgia beat rival Florida 23-20 on Saturday. Gurley returned from an ankle injury and totaled 187 yards, finding the end zone on a 5-yard run and a 73-yard reception. The Bulldogs scored on their first four possessions, taking a 20-0 lead that looked like it would be enough against one of the Southeastern Conference’s most
anemic offenses. But the Gators rallied, taking advantage of a fumble, a safety and some questionable play calls to seize momentum in weird, wacky and chippy game. Florida cut it to 23-20 early in the fourth, putting Georgia on its heels after a failed fourth-down run followed by a huge defensive penalty. But the Gators faltered down the stretch. Georgia (5-3, 4-2 SEC) won its third in a row in the series, the program’s first three-game winning
streak against Florida since 1989. This one kept the Bulldogs in contention in the Eastern Division. The Gators (4-4, 3-3) have their second threegame losing streak in coach Will Muschamp’s three years, raising speculation about his future in Gainesville. Muschamp fell to 0-7 in the series. He was 0-4 as a Georgia player between 1991 and 1994 and now he’s 0-3 as Florida. Possibly making things worse for Muschamp, he was seen screaming back at a
fan as he left the field. Georgia players and coaches were celebrating all around — something they’ve rarely been able to do in this series. Florida won 18 of 21 meetings before the Bulldogs started their current streak. This had significantly less at stake than many of those, with both unranked teams entering the game riding multigame losing streaks. It was the first time that had happened since 1926. Georgia, though, looked nothing like the
same team that lost consecutive games to Missouri and Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs scored on the game’s opening possession and then shocked Florida when Aaron Murray found Gurley over the middle for a 73-yard catch and run. The Bulldogs piled on from there, making it 23-3 with a 32yard field goal just before halftime. Florida looked down and out. But Georgia helped the Gators get back in it. Arthur Lynch dropped
what he thought was a screen pass near the sideline. Officials ruled it a lateral and a fumble. Lynch didn’t realize the call and left the ball on the ground. Florida’s Leon Orr scooped it up and returned it to the 13-yard line. Mack Brown scored two plays later, cutting Georgia’s lead to 23-10. Loucheiz Purifoy sacked Murray in the end zone two series later, making it 23-12. Tyler Murphy, playing with a sprained Please see GEORGIA | 11A
Mason lifts No. 8 Auburn over SEC foe Razorbacks 35-17 BY KURT VOIGT Associated Press
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Tre Mason rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns as No. 8 Auburn earned their first-year coach a 35-17 win in his return to Arkansas. Mason scored on runs of 9, 4 and 5 and 12 yards as the Tigers (8-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) won their fifth in a row in Malzahn’s first game in Fayetteville since leaving the Razorbacks as an assistant following the
2006 season. Auburn’s Nick Marshall, returning from a shoulder injury, accounted for 177 yards of total offense, including an 88yard touchdown throw to Sammie Coates. Jonathan Williams had 104 yards rushing and Alex Collins added 92 on the ground for Arkansas (3-6, 0-5), which has now lost six in a row. It’s the longest losing streak for the Razorbacks since a seven-game stretch in 1990. Much of the discussion leading up to the game
involved Malzahn’s return to his native state, as well as his budding rivalry with first-year Arkansas coach Bret Bielema. The two engaged in a bit of back and forth regarding player safety in a hurry-up offense this summer, and Bielema stoked the fire earlier this week by accusing Auburn of being less-than forthcoming in game video it shared with the Razorbacks. Bielema and Malzahn briefly shook hands before the game, but it was Mason who quickly
turned into the center of attention — leading a Tigers’ offense that finished with 233 yards rushing. Mason’s third touchdown put Auburn up 28-3 to open the second half, helping secure Malzahn’s first win in four tries at Arkansas. The former high school coach in the state was 0-3 in Fayetteville as an opposing assistant coach with Tulsa and the Tigers, but he left with a convincing win after his first trip home as a head coach. Auburn hasn’t lost since a 35-21 setback at
LSU on Sept. 21. The Tigers were 3-9 last season under former coach Gene Chizik, but they’ve found renewed belief under Malzahn. Arkansas, meanwhile, has struggled mightily under its first-year coach, falling to 0-5 in the SEC for just the second time since joining the conference in 1992. After opening the season with three straight wins, the Razorbacks have now lost six games in a row — lately in convincing fashion. Zach Hocker’s 34-yard field goal in the second
quarter closed Auburn’s lead to 7-3, and it was Arkansas’ first points since the opening quarter against South Carolina on Oct. 12. The points snapped a streak in which the Razorbacks had been outscored 121-0. The Razorbacks did close to within 28-17 early in the fourth quarter after a 2-yard touchdown run by Kiero Small, but even the rally wasn’t without a show of gamesmanship by Bielema , who said the Tigers had cut out the Please see AUBURN | 11A

Connor Shaw got his final scoring pass on the Gamecocks next series, finding Jerell Adams for a four-yard TD. The pass tied Shaw’s mark from 2011 when he had four touchdown throws in a 54-3 win over Kentucky — his first game after taking over the starting job.

after entering in the third quarter last Saturday, looked a bit off early as Mississippi State stuffed the Gamecocks on the opening series before jumping on top on Prescott’s 1-yard run. Prescott set up the touchdown two plays earlier with a 14-yard run to the South Carolina 1. South Carolina quickly answered back, Shaw connecting with Roland on a 14-yard touchdown pass to tie things. The Gamecocks took advantage of Prescott’s mistake for their next TD, linebacker Skai Moore collecting the tipped pass at the Bulldogs 46. Three plays later, Shaw and Roland hooked up again, this time for a 43 yard pass as the Gamecocks sophomore receiver slipped from a tackler to run uncontested the final 20 yards. South Carolina’s defense rattled Prescott into a second interception on the next possession — by linebacker T.J. Holloman. But Shaw lost two yards on first down, didn’t see a wide open Rory Anderson in the end zone on second down and threw incomplete while being chased by defenders on third down, and the Gamecocks settled for Elliott Fry’s career long 44yard field goal to go up 17-7. Two plays into the second half, Prescott was crunched by defensive end Chaz Sutton and fumbled to Sharrod Golightly. Shaw capitalized with a 6-yard touchdown throw to Damiere Byrd. Shaw got his final scoring pass on the Gamecocks next series, finding Jerell Adams for a four-yard TD to go ahead 31-10. The pass tied Shaw’s mark from 2011 when he had four touchdown throws in a 54-3 win over Kentucky — his first game after taking over the starting job from Stephen Garcia.

Small’s touchdown came after Arkansas converted a fourth down, using a play in which the Razorbacks lined up for the first time this season in a swinging gate formation. Even the subtle shot across the field wasn’t enough for Arkansas to overcome Mason, who responded shortly afterward with his fourth touchdown run, a 12-yard score that put the Tigers up 35-17.

right throwing shoulder, had two long runs on the ensuing drive, the second one a 14-yard TD scamper. Murphy hooked up with Clay Burton for the 2-point conversion — and it was a different game. Georgia tried to reclaim the momentum, but Gurley failed to move the chains on a fourth-and-1 play. Florida did little on the next series, but Georgia gifted the Gators more life by having 12 men on the field on a fourthand-2 play. Nonetheless, Florida floundered as it has in recent weeks. Not only did linebacker Neiron Ball remove his helmet on the stop, drawing a 15-yard
of 25 passes for 258 yards and a touchdown for Georgia. Gurley had 100 yards rushing and 87 receiving. Murphy was 13-of-29 passing for 174 yards, and
was sacked four times. Kelvin Taylor, making his first career start, ran 20 times for 76 yards.

she faces up to 20 years behind bars and $15,000 in fines. As with all cases, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. This case is being investigated and prosecuted by the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.

Cannons and Corinth Fortifications tell the story of the battle for the Crossroads Last week we left off our tour of the Rosecrans Line with Battery Williams. The next fort constructed was Battery Robinett, but since I told you the story of Henry Robinett several months ago we will press right on. If you missed it, call my friends at the Daily Corinthian and get a copy of the paper from Jan. 20, 2013. Let’s skip across town and talk about Battery Madison. It was a big one, one of the largest forts in the whole Rosecrans Line, and boasted five and a half foot high walls with embrasures for nine cannon. Embrasures Tom were those Parson holes in the wall Park Ranger that the business end of the cannon stuck out of. The earthwork was named for Captain Relly Madison of Company B, 2nd Illinois Light Artillery. Relly was born in Indiana in 1818. He was a farmer in Clark County, Ill., and a prosperous one at that. Prior to the war he had 200 acres, 2 horses, 2 oxen and 11 pigs. He was doing well for he and his wife Angeline, and his property was valued at $30,000. They were prosperous enough to even hire a young servant girl. Relly raised an understrength artillery battery which was combined with Chapman’s Artillery Battery to form Company B. The unit had six heavy guns and the morning of April 6, 1862, found them parked in a line along the Tennessee River at Pittsburg Landing. The big guns were hauled to the top of the bluff and served as the nucleus for Grant’s “Last Line of Defense.” Madison was a hero of the Battle of Shiloh. I’m not sure where Relly was at the Battle of Corinth but he wasn’t here in town and during the fight Battery Madison was commanded by 1st Lt. Fletcher Chapman. Relly was promoted to Major in December 1862, and died of disease in Corinth, April 11, 1863, at the age of 45. Don’t look for him in the National Cemetery, his family had his remains

brought home to Illinois. Because Madison was not in command of the battery during the battle it is often referred to as Battery Chapman. Don’t get confused, it was the same place with a different name. If it’s confusion you want, stay tuned for the next fort. Whichever name it was called, the Madison/ Chapman was on the hill just east of what is now Cass Street. Some of the older residents of Corinth will remember a gray and yellow sign on the corner of Wick and Pierce Streets with the name “Fort Madison” in big bold letters. Two blocks away is Madison Street. Coincidence? Captain Fletcher H. Chapman was born in 1828 in Staunton Township, Macoupin County, Illinois. In 1853 he was elected County Surveyor, and served in the office for the next six years. In May 1861 he enlisted in the infantry but was transferred in September of the same year to the light artillery. He had the honor of being commissioned Captain of his company, “Chapman’s Battery,” and commanded it until February 1862, when it went through a number of consolidations and name changes and ended up as part of Company B, of the Second Illinois Light Artillery.
In the reorganization Fletcher drew the short straw and ended up a lieutenant, second in command to Captain Madison. He did a great job during the Battle of Shiloh and did well at the Siege of Corinth, too. I can’t say the same for his performance at the Battle of Corinth. At noon on October 4, the Confederates broke through the Union line on the north side of town. Hundreds of Southerners poured through the breach in the lines only to be pushed back by a determined Federal counter-attack. Lt. Chapman’s heart was in the right place when he began to fire his big guns at what he believed to be the enemy. But no had told him the Union had reoccupied their old lines and from where he stood, Fletcher couldn’t see what he was shooting at. Union shells began to rain down on Union troops. Dozens of soldiers were killed or wounded before the artillery could be stopped and the friendly-fire ended. Fletcher Chapman stayed in the army through the end of the war and eventually rose to the rank of captain. He returned to civilian life and became a lawyer, a police chief, superintendent of schools, and a city
attorney. He died in Carlinville, Ill., in 1907. Finally there is Battery Powell, the really confusing one. The last of the original seven forts, this small earthwork was still under construction during the first day of the Battle of Corinth. It was placed north of town adjacent to the Purdy Road, a spot that can be found today at the intersection of Taylor and 3rd Streets. Though it was named for Captain Albert M. Powell, the fort is frequently referred to as Battery Richardson. The confusion in names comes from the second day of the battle when the fort was utilized by the field artillery of Captain Henry Richardson’s Battery D, 1st Missouri Light Artillery. During the fight there were five pieces of small field artillery inside the walls. This fort actually fell to the attacking Confederates but it was quickly retaken in the Union counter-attack. There are some folks who swear up down that the true name of the fort IS Battery Richardson, but I have some awesome drawings by the guy who designed all seven forts and he called it Battery Powell; that’s good enough for me. Others claim there was an eighth fort in the Rosecrans Line, located near the
Natchez occupation sesquicentennial remembered BY VERSHAL HOGAN The Natchez Democrat
NATCHEZ — In 1863, like much of the South, Natchez was deep in the throes of the Civil War. The Union Army had come up the Mississippi River, the home front had become the front lines for a brief moment, and then the city had become a Union-occupied territory. Unlike other parts of the South, that occupation wasn’t notably violent and didn’t result in the destruction of huge swaths of the city. Instead, Union officers occupied Natchez’s grand homes for a time and even became to some degree part of the city’s social scene. The Pilgrimage Garden Club’s 36th Natchez Antiques Forum will explore that history Nov. 7-9 with the program “On the Home Front: Antiques Behind Union Lines.” “The forum has to do with the Yankees coming
in, and when they did, they only burned down two houses here,” forum founder Jeanette Feltus said. “Whenever the people had parties here, they always invited the Union generals so they wouldn’t burn our houses, and it worked.” Because this year’s forum happens during the sesquicentennial of the Union occupation of Natchez, the theme “kind of fell together,” forum chair Donna Callaway said. The Natchez Antiques Forum is one of the nation’s longest-running antiques forums. Every year it has a different focus, but always centers on a Southern theme. Over the course of three days, attendees have the opportunity to hear presentations by experts about history and antiques and to take tours and attend social events related to the forum. Keeping with this year’s Civil War theme, the fo-
rum will have presentations by Ulysses Dietz, the great-great-grandson of the Union general and later President Ulysses S. Grant; and Bertram Hayes-Davis, the greatgreat grandson of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America. “We have representatives from both sides of the war, and have sort of come full circle,” Callaway said. Dietz is senior curator at the Newark Museum and a member of the family of the Dietz Lighting Company. He will make a presentation, “Lighting the North and the South,” which will discuss his family’s company and its role during the Civil War. Hayes-Davis is executive director of Beauvoir, the Davis family’s postCivil War home in Biloxi, and will deliver a lecture titled, “Mrs. Dorsey’s Beauvoir: Home of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis.”
On Nov. 7, the forum will take a tour to Woodville to visit Rosemont, Jefferson Davis’ boyhood home. The tour will also visit two other homes in Woodville and will visit St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, which has in one wall a plaque noting that Jefferson Davis’ mother was baptized there. Upon returning to Natchez, the tour will visit the grave of Natchez native Sarah Dorsey — who donated Beauvoir to Davis after the war — and will visit Magnolia Hall, which houses a piece of furniture that was in Beauvoir at the time it was donated to Davis. The tour will end at The Briars, where Davis was married. The discussions of other lectures during the forum will center on the Fort McPherson area of Natchez, the north side of the city where the Union occupation was concentrated, Callaway said.
corner of Polk and Main, and this one is the true Battery Richardson. My good friend and author Tim Smith and I got into a couple of knock-down, drag-out fights over the controversy. He hits pretty hard for a little guy. So who were Powell and Richardson? Let’s start with Captain Albert Micajh Powell, who was born in Maryland in 1835 and was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1855. He graduated in July 1860, ranked 20th out of 41 cadets. He was assigned to the 10th Infantry and briefly saw service in Colorado. He was soon promoted to Captain in the brand new 13th U.S. Infantry but quickly left for volunteer service as Captain of Battery M, 1st Missouri Light Artillery. He was here for the Siege of Corinth, serving in Pope’s Army. A week before the Battle of Corinth he was promoted to Major and Chief of Artillery for the Third Division, Army of the Mississippi. He wasn’t in the fort that bore his name during the fight but was over in the neighborhood of the old Corinth High School where his gunners fought a fight worth bragging about. Later in the war Albert became Chief of Artillery for the 17th Corps for the
Vicksburg campaigns and was promoted to Lt. Col. The last year of the war found him sitting on the examining board for appointments of officers to the U.S.C.T. When the war ended he reverted to the rank of Captain in the 31st U.S. Infantry. He was killed in 1866 by a throw from a horse at Fort Stevenson in the Dakota Territory. And then there is Captain Henry Richardson, perhaps the most elusive of all. His service record tells me he was born in New York in 1815 and that he mustered into service in 1861 at the age of 46. He was a resident of St. Louis at the time. Henry served for 3 months in the 1st Missouri Infantry and was then elected Captain of Battery D, 1st Missouri Light Artillery. He fought well at Shiloh and here at Corinth as well. In 1863 he was appointed Chief of Artillery for the 4th Division, 15th Army Corps. This made him the head guy over six batteries of artillery. Unfortunately for Henry, there are no glowing accounts of his activities during the Chattanooga Campaign and a few months later he was back in command of his own battery as part of the garrison force in Huntsville, Alabama. When the three year enlistment had expired, Henry and all of his men took their discharges and went home to Missouri. And then the trail grows cold. Oh, I can find a few Henry Richardsons on the occasional census but nothing I can tie to our boy with any certainty. He simply fell off the map. One final tidbit of information I had planned to share on the driving tour was the transformation of the Rosecrans Line after the battle. Earthworks were built to connect all seven forts, which made Corinth virtually impregnable. During the facelift, batteries Phillips, Tannrath, and Lothrop were combined into the massive Fort Jones. I’m not exactly sure who Jones was but I’d give a pretty penny to find out. If you want to see all of these forts and earthworks on a map, come by the Interpretive Center. We’re open every day but Christmas from 8 to 5.
This Week in the Civil War
Confederate forces move toward Knoxville, Tenn. The Associated Press
Editor’s Note: This series marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War draws primarily from wartime dispatches credited to The Associated Press or other accounts distributed through the AP and other historical sources. Confederate President Jefferson Davis ordered one of his most capable commanders, James Longstreet, to send forces against Union rivals and advance toward Knoxville, Tenn. The so-called Knoxville Campaign by Longstreet would drag on through November 1863, part of a series of skirmishes and military assaults in eastern Tennessee 150 years ago in the Civil War.
Both Union and Confederate forces were seeking to control eastern Tennessee in the fall of 1863 and Longstreet began pushing toward Knoxville over muddy roads in a bid to assault Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Union forces defending Knoxville. A Confederate siege of Knoxville would open on Nov. 17, 1863, but after two weeks of trying to starve out the garrison and one disastrous assault, he would scuttle the siege. Not only would Longstreet ultimately fail in his quest to take Knoxville, but Union forces would largely take control of eastern Tennessee after Grant also ended the Confederate siege of Chattanooga in the autumn of 1863.

(One medical argument in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage is that gay people have significantly lower stress levels when married.) Married people may remain more intellectually engaged with others, which helps avoid dementia. And healthy people may be more likely to attract a mate and marry than unhealthy people. It’s not all good news for married people, though: Marriage also increases obesity rates. Getting married raises the risk of a woman becoming overweight by 3.9 percentage points compared to peers who did not marry, and marriage increases her risk of obesity by 1.4 percentage points. The effect is more pronounced for men. Married men see a 6.1 percentage point rise in the risk of becoming overweight and a 3.3 percentage point increase in the risk of obesity. Obesity likely takes a sizable cut out of any longevity benefits of marriage. More than one-third of Americans are obese. It is a major risk factor for the leading cause of death, heart disease.

Want to live a long life? Get married. Study after study has shown that married people, particularly married men, live significantly longer than their single friends. Some of the research is overall correlation, while other studies look at specific diseases and possible mechanisms. Doctors at Harvard tossed some more data on the pile last month, showing that married patients were more likely to identify cancer in its early stages and less likely to die from the disease than their unmarried peers. Epidemiologists refer to the wellestablished correlation between marriage and longevity as the “marriage protection hypothesis.” The marriage protection hypothesis isn’t entirely surprising. Unlike the connection between alcohol and longevity, which still lacks a fully coherent explanation, there are a handful of intuitive and attractive reasons why marriage might extend your life. Having a family gives people something to live for, which may discourage risky behaviors like smoking and riding a motorcycle. Married men commit suicide at lower rates than singles, possibly for the same reason. Your spouse may
diabetes, another illness linked to obesity, doubled from 1998 to 2013. The proportion of adults who are obese increases with age; obesity can be caused by the cumulative effect of years of eating just a little more than we should. While less than 33 percent of us are obese between the ages of 20 and 39, nearly 40 percent of Americans older than 60 are obese. It’s a bit of a paradox that marriage is connected to both longevity and obesity, one of the primary contributors to early death. The nature of the connection between marriage and weight gain is a matter of conjecture. One plausible explanation is the “marriage market hypothesis”: Single people remain thin for no other reason than to attract a mate. Once you’ve legally obligated someone to stick with you through sickness and health, there’s no compelling reason to eat right and exercise. But that theory flies in the face of the overall marriage protection hypothesis. If people quit smoking, wear sunscreen, and eschew suicide for the sake of their families, why would they allow themselves to become obese? (It’s important to note that mere age is not the explanation for the link between obesity and
marriage. Researchers control for our tendency to gain weight as we get older, and the correlation is still easily detectable.) There may be a simple explanation: People eat more when they’re together. A 1992 study that asked participants to record their food consumption for a week found that eating with one companion increased meal size by 41 percent compared with eating alone, while breaking bread with six or more people increased an individual’s caloric intake by a whopping 76 percent. Why do we eat more when we eat with others? It may be a result of social norms. Communal meals tend to last longer than eating solo, and people who sit in front of food can’t resist eating it. Another possible explanation is our habit of mimicking our dining companions: When they take a bite, we take a bite. More people means more cues to eat. Sharing food may be a harmless gesture of friendship for marmosets, and it may have made sense for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who were far more likely to die from scarcity than from the sequelae of diabetes. Our social customs, however, must evolve with us. There are better things to share with your spouse than dessert.

Beach weddings are usually casual affairs, and couples could have more leeway with regard to food and drinks. • Clubhouse: For those who live in a condominium or a community managed by a homeowner’s association, there may be a clubhouse on the premises. Couples interested in an intimate affair can bring in their own food and have a low-cost reception close to home. • Castle or estate: Dreaming of a fairy tale wedding?

Charlaine Harris looks to new series after Sookie BY JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — The final book in Charlaine Harris’ best-selling series about telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse provoked such an outcry that some fans sent death threats and curses. But after spending the last 15 years writing about the intrepid small-town Southern girl whose adventures have featured a host of supernatural beings, Harris says she has no regrets. “I had to be true to my own vision for the books otherwise, what kind of writer am I? Not a very good one,” said Harris, adding that fan reaction to the end of the series was distressing. Harris said she knew it was time to end the Sookie books, which inspired the hit HBO series “True Blood,” when she wasn’t approaching each new addition with excitement.
“And I thought, ‘You know, this is the time to end it, when I still have something to say.’” She released her final nod to Stackhouse and her world last week with “After Dead: What Came Next in the World of Sookie Stackhouse,” an illustrated book that lists the myriad of characters that appeared in the 13book series and tells readers what happens in the ensuing years. But, Harris says, don’t expect any revisions. “I wrote the ending the way I wrote it and I’m not going to change it.” The uproar over her “Dead Ever After” started when an online review appeared about two weeks before its official May release date. (A reviewer obtained a copy from a German bookseller.) “I thought I had two more weeks to brace for it, but I didn’t, and it was just overwhelmingly aw-

“I had to be true to my own vision for the books otherwise, what kind of writer am I? Not a very good one.” Charlaine Harris Author ful,” said Harris, 61. The most vehement were angry that Stackhouse didn’t end up with the vampire Eric. Harris said she’d been steering readers to that eventuality. “Not only is who she ends up with not the point of the books, but I said all along: ‘She loves the sun. She doesn’t want to just be able to go out at night,’” Harris said. “And I said in every interview I gave when someone would ask me: ‘Sookie will never be a vampire.’ And still: shock, horror, amazement, accusations that I’d sold out. I thought, ‘If I would have
sold out I would have written the ending you wanted.’” Ginjer Buchanan, editor-in-chief of Ace Books, which published the series, said it was a credit to the books that fans were so passionate. “What wasn’t good was that they just went totally overboard,” she said. But as fall approached, Harris said the reaction calmed. And she even got some apologies. Harris published her first book in 1981. After years of writing conventional mysteries, she wanted to try something different, something supernatural.
sas for about two decades. So far she’s signed for three books in the series. Stover predicts that those fans upset by the ending of the Sookie series will be happy. “They will remember when the new book comes out what they love about Charlaine Harris,” she said. “Midnight Crossroad,” to be released in May, is about “a mystical crossroad in a little dead Texas town,” Harris said. “It’s at an old town that’s partly derelict but there are a few homes and businesses still in use there. A town called Midnight. And there is a reason the people who live there are living there.” “I didn’t really intend it to be as supernatural as it’s turning out to be. It’s like I just can’t help myself.” Will there be vampires? “Well, there might be one vampire,” she said, eyes twinkling.

It took two years to sell the first Stackhouse book, but it wasn’t long after “Dead Until Dark” was released in 2001 that Harris knew she had a hit. Buchanan said it was published at a time when urban fantasy was becoming popular. And, she said, Harris set herself apart by basing the series in the fictional town of Bon Temps, La. “This is a series that once readers found it they were fans for life,” said Kaite Stover, director of readers’ services for the Kansas City Public Library in Missouri. “Charlaine Harris actually crafted in that first book a wonderful blend of romance, women’s fiction, Southern humor and urban fantasy.” Harris’ next series is set in Texas.

NEW YORK — For eight years as NBC News president, Steve Capus worried about Brian Williams, the “Today” show and rapid changes in the news industry. Now he’s taking time for a passion project: getting Yes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Capus is collaborating with two political pros on an awareness campaign for the band that enthralled him when he attended their concert as a 16-year-old in Philadelphia in 1979. The team is already halfway there: Yes is one of 16 candidates for enshrinement next year, its first time nominated. “I don’t want people to
think I’ve completely lost my mind,” said Capus, who after leaving NBC last spring has done consulting work in communications and plans to teach journalism and management. “This isn’t my new career. I’ve got the luxury of some time on my hands and the ability to do some projects that I believe in and have some fun doing.” Capus’ enthusiasm is no secret to those who know him. NBC got Yes members to film a salute for his going-away party. A reporter covering a rock hall induction a few years ago was surprised by an aggrieved email from Capus about Yes being overlooked. “They’re all great musicians,” said Capus, who’s
taking bass guitar lessons. “Nobody sounds like Yes does. They’ve got their own unique sound. They’ve kind of been the soundtrack to my life.” He was contacted by Republican consultant John Brabender and Tad Devine, a Democrat, to join their effort. Both are Yes fans and admittedly bored between political campaigns. They thought boosting Yes could be fun, and perhaps fodder for a reality TV show about a Republican and Democrat cooperating during polarizing times. The campaign hopes to build a groundswell among fans and tapped Capus to produce a film extolling Yes’ virtues to rock hall voters.
