City inks C-Spire franchise agreement Woman

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth recently inked a franchise agreement with Telepak Networks / C Spire Fiber in anticipation of the launch of gigabit fiber Internet service with television and phone service.

The franchise agreement deals with the television and phone service that will be available to Internet subscribers.

The Board of Aldermen approved a franchise agreement for a term of 25 years with the fee paid to the city for video

services gradually kicking in over time.

No fee will be paid during the first five years. The contract says Telepak will pay 2.5 percent during years six through 10, and a fee of 5 percent will be paid thereafter from the sale of video services.

The contract says the company will pay those amounts or the lowest percentage payable by a third-party provider of video services, whichever is lesser.

The franchise agreement also calls for Telepak to pay 2 Please see C-SPIRE | 2A

A Tennessee woman died in a crash Friday on Highway 72 just west of Corinth.

Coroner Jay Jones identified the woman as Vernell Sellers, 77, of Jackson, Tenn. He said she was originally from Corinth.

The crash happened about 5:35 p.m. on U.S. 72 at County Road 735 near Glidewell Trailer Sales. The Mississippi Highway Patrol said it appeared Sellers attempted to turn off Road 735 onto the highway and entered the path of a westbound 1997 Chevrolet pickup driven by Steven Gray, 34, of Corinth.

Sellers, driving a 2005 Nissan Altima, died at the scene, and Gray was uninjured.

MHP said the investigation remains open.

Funeral arrangements for Sellers are pending.

Party collects gifts for children’s hospital

BY HEATHER SMITH hsmith@dailycorinthian.com

As Lane Bryant celebrated his 9th birthday, he and his mother used the opportunity to help other children who are staying in a children’s hospital.

During Lane’s birthday party on Nov. 8, he and his family decided to go west of the Mississippi River this year to help children in the same situation.

Gifts brought to the birthday party are being donated to the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Shreveport, La., said Lane’s mother, Jamie Bryant.

This year, Lane had a holiday birthday party full of fun. “He had a Disney/Christmas birthday party where we had Santa Claus and elves. We had crafts and story time. We had movie time as well as a snack and drink bar, which is where Lane collected his gifts. Between 20 and 25 children were able to attend and they attended in their pajamas,� explained Lane’s mother.

Bryant is still collecting presents for the Shriners’ Hospital. “I will collect presents up until February and that is when we go back to the Shriners. We collected around 30 presents at his birthday party and we are still collecting,� said Bryant.

Lane Bryant and his family are collected gifts for the Shriners Children’s Hospital. “I came up with the idea to donate the presents to the hospital. We are so blessed and people are so good to us, that we just want to give back,� the grateful mother explained.

Those who attended the party were treated to a day of fun and excitement. “The kids painted ornaments and wrote letters to

Santa. They made hand prints and enjoyed movie time at ‘Donald and Daisy’s Drive-In’.

We made cars that had the Disney characters on them where the children sat in the cars and watched a movie,� said Bryant.

Lane and the other children really enjoyed the party, she said.

Lane donated to Shriner’s in

a different way than he did for LeBonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis last year. “Last year, we had to do an event. We had to set up at LeBonheur and the kids had to come to Lane. This time, when we go to the Shriner’s, Lane will distribute the gifts himPlease see PARTY | 2A

One of the biggest shopping weeks of the year is at hand, presenting opportunities for bargain hunters and thieves alike.

Police Chief David Lancaster said the police department will step up its patrols of retail areas for Black Friday, and he encourages shoppers to keep an eye out for their own safety.

“One of the best things people can do to protect themselves is to go shopping in a group with friends or family,” he said. “A thief is less likely to approach a group of people than someone who is alone.”

Whether lining up for 4 a.m. doorbuster sales or shopping in the evening, shoppers should park in well-lit

areas.

“People need to be alert when they are going into a store and coming back to their vehicle,” he said.

Detective Capt. Ralph Dance said one of the biggest threats at this time of the year is having a purse snatched out of a shopping cart while the owner’s attention is elsewhere.

“Never leave your purse their unattended or open where somebody can reach in and grab your wallet,” he said.

Unattended purchases left inside a vehicle are also an invitation to thieves.

He advises to always lock purchases in the trunk so they are out of sight.

Officials suggest not carrying large amounts of cash and to consider keeping cash in a front pocket or coat pocket rather than a back pants pocket.

Police: Meth bound for Corinth Associated Press

RUSSELVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas State Police arrested three men last weekend who police believe were on their way to Corinth with a large quantity of methamphetamine.

The three Mississippi men were each ordered held in lieu of $1 million cash after they were accused of trafficking a large amount of illegal drugs.

On Saturday, Nov. 16,

an Arkansas State Police (ASP) trooper pulled over a vehicle for a lane violation on Interstate 40 west of Russellville, Ark. The vehicle was occupied by Timothy Deshazier, 37, Michael Smith, 45, and Michael McPherson, 47, all of whom appeared nervous, according to a police report.

The officer noted in the report the three men had bad stories and De-

shazier, the driver, gave consent to search the vehicle. The officer found a soda can with a false compartment containing a small amount of methamphetamine in the rear floorboard of the vehicle.

In the right rear quarter panel of the vehicle, a large bundle of meth was found. The ASP seized 5 pounds 14 ounces of meth from the vehicle with a street value of more than

$266,000.

The men were in a rental car with a San Diego, Calif., origin and possible destination of Corinth. Press reports in Arkansas said the men are from Corinth.

All three men appeared in felony bond hearings Wednesday. If charged, they will appear Dec. 16 in Circuit Court.

Deshazier said Wednesday he did not know the drugs were in the car.

Region Briefs Prentiss school board approves transfer policy BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County School Board members approved a new policy on transfer students from other districts and learned of a change in state policy that will affect the athletic eligibility of some district students during their regular meeting on Monday.

A rule change by the Mississippi High School Activities Association will allow students at Marietta and Hills Chapel elementary schools to participate in high school sports, negating a decision made earlier this year by the Prentiss County School Board which appeared to prevent those students from playing at the higher level.

School Board President Ronny Kesler told his fellow board members the change in the new version of the MHSAA handbook apparently allows students at the county’s two elementary-only campuses to play high school sports at any of the county’s high schools without the schools being officially designated as feeder schools by the board. However,

once any student at any school in a lower grade plays a sport at the high school level they must continue to play for that school and no other or the MHSAA rules on transfers apply.

Kesler said he wanted to be sure the public and the board were aware of the change in policy. In April the board voted against designating the two elementary schools as official “feeder schools” for New Site High School following heated discussion at a series of board meetings. At that time, under MHSAA rules, without the feeder school designation students at the two schools would not be allowed to play on high school teams.

Arkansas woman arrested for Medicare fraud MICHIE, Tenn. — A 57-year-old Arkansas woman pleaded guilty to a pair of counts as a result of a Medicare fraud scheme on Thursday, according to a release by the U.S. Attorney.

Rebecca Christain, of Mountain Home, Ark., pleaded guilty to a two-

count federal information charging her with one count of health care fraud and one count of money laundering in relation to a Medicare fraud scheme, announced U.S. Attorney Edward L. Stanton III. According to the facts alleged in the information and statements made during her guilty plea, Christain was the owner of Sleep Analysts, Inc. and a subsidiary company, Pulmonary Solutions.

Pulmonary Solutions had area offices in Michie and Savannah.

From October 2008 to December 2009, Christain allegedly devised a scheme to defraud the Medicare program by hiring unlicensed individuals to perform services that were billed to Medicare as respiratory therapy services, and by instructing her staff to falsify records setting forth the amount of time during which services were provided.

In total, Christain caused fraudulent claims in excess of $1,000,000 to be paid by Medicare and Medicaid for fraudulently billed respiratory therapy services.

Christain is to be sentenced on Feb. 20 in Jackson.

Corinth, Miss.

JFK conspiracy in plain sight For all these years, they’ve hidden the truth about the Kennedy assassination.

It didn’t require a conspiracy. It just took repeating a falsehood until it became conventional wisdom. The myth about the Kennedy assassination is that President John F. Kennedy, at great personal risk, traveled to Dallas, aka the City of Hate, and was somehow murdered by an atmosphere of Rich intolerance. The truth is that was shot by a communist.

Lowry heAs James Piereson writes National in his brilliant book “Camelot Review and the Cultural Revolution,” liberals had the choice after the assassination to make Kennedy a martyr to civil rights or admit that he was a casualty of the Cold War. They found the notion of Kennedy dying for racial progress much more congenial and useful, even though it depended on a rank distortion.

The interpretive misdirection began in the immediate aftermath of Lee Harvey Oswald’s act of murder. Pundits and analysts still follow the well-worn script, often boiling down their indictment to one word: Dallas. The epigraph of the new book “Dallas 1963” is a letter to the mayor at the time: “Dallas, the city that virtually invited the poor insignificant soul who blotted out the life of President Kennedy to do it in Dallas.”

Slate calls a letter to Kennedy’s press secretary warning JFK not to visit Dallas because he might be killed by a right-wing mob “eerily prophetic,” which would be unassailably true ... if Kennedy had been killed by a right-wing mob.

In a New York Times op-ed, history scholar James McAuley calls Dallas “the city that willed the death of the president.” Who knew that municipalities had such frightening powers? George W. Bush is lucky he wasn’t killed in office by Burlington, Vt., or Berkeley, Calif.

In a news report, Timesman Manny Fernandez writes of the “painful, embarrassing memories of the angry anti-Washington culture that flourished here 50 years ago — and now seems a permanent part of the national mood.”

Get it? The rancid political culture of Dallas that was responsible for the death of Kennedy lives on today in the tea party, which needs to be stopped before it kills again.

There are at least two problems with all this. The first is that cities don’t kill people.

Neither does political hostility. There was plenty of kookery, racism and ugliness in Dallas circa 1963 — and much derision and abuse of Kennedy — but none of those things picked up a rifle and shot the president of the United States.

The second — and amazingly enough, saying it still carries a subversive hint of revisionism — is that Oswald was a thoroughgoing communist. As Piereson recounts, Oswald tried to defect to the Soviet Union. He told a reporter that his reasons were “purely political.” Trying to renounce his citizenship, he gave a note to an official at the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union that said, “I affirm my allegiance to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” and “I am a Marxist.”

Eventually, he returned to the United States and grew disillusioned with the Soviet Union but not with the idea of revolution as exemplified by Fidel Castro’s Cuba. He subscribed to The Militant, published by the Socialist Workers Party, and the Daily Worker, published by the Communist Party. He posed for a photograph holding both publications and the rifle he would use to shoot Kennedy.

Oswald had hoped to travel to Cuba and serve in Castro’s government. To establish his bona fides, he set up a chapter of the “Fair Play for Cuba” committee during a stay in New Orleans. He traveled to Mexico City and visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies in his bid to get to Cuba. He was still trying to navigate the bureaucracy when he heard Kennedy would be visiting Dallas.

The Kennedy assassination has always invited elaborate theories about a cover-up of the truth about that awful day. But it’s not complicated. The lie has always been in plain sight.

Prayer for today Gracious Lord, may I not spend most in equipment and forget the tides, which may desert me on the sands, or the rocks in the channels, which may crush the finest vessel.

May I be prepared for the hard knocks if they come, but may I know how to keep clear of them. Amen.

What happens in Vegas Editor’s Note: Bill O’Reilly is on vacation. The following column was originally published in December 2012.

LAS VEGAS – This is a town that looks better at night. Millions of lights pierce the darkness creating a visual that is both energetic and trance-inducing.

The multilayered lightshow is dazzling and unique in America.

But when the sun comes up, Las Vegas speaks directly to the recession. Halfcompleted buildings loom over the landscape like giant steel skeletons. Some developers ran out of money and simply walked away leaving huge, hulking abandoned structures to absorb the desert wind.

But just down Las Vegas Blvd. are the winners: lavish hotels that cater to one’s every need.

This is a city that best defines the two Americas and our very competitive capitalistic system. If you want to understand the free marketplace, Las Vegas is an excellent classroom.

Millions of hardworking

folks come here to have fun. In order to maximize the entertainment, you have to Bill spend monO’Reilly ey. Whether you spend it The O’Reilly Factor on gambling, live shows or fine dining, it’s up to you. The money flow supports tens of thousands of service workers and, at a much higher level, the movers who run the tourist businesses. If you can’t make a decent living in Vegas, you are in major trouble. Responsible workers are sorely needed.

But still there is destitution on display. Addiction is the primary driver of that, although laziness is featured, as well. Some of the poor in this town simply want to play all the time.

And they pay a price for that, as prosperity eludes them.

Some of the have-nots sit on sidewalks hoping for money from passersby.

Sometimes, gamblers give

the beggars casino chips.

Panhandlers say the best time for them is after midnight when the winners emerge from the gambling dens.

Redistribution is much easier when you’ve just run the table.

President Obama should spend some time in Vegas.

Maybe then he would understand capitalism better. No matter how many handouts the panhandlers get, their circumstances rarely change. The money is mostly used to feed their compulsions.

On the other end, the rich 1 percenters hustling the gambling tables are trying to increase their affluence by taking chances. In the process, they are providing salaries for the hardworking men and women who keep the entertainment establishments running. Bottom line: Both the wealthy and the poor in Vegas are exercising their personal freedoms.

From observing the action in Vegas, Obama might finally realize that it’s freedom of choice that most

often dictates who fails and who succeeds in the capitalistic system. In Vegas, no outcomes are guaranteed and no government can level the playing field. Prosperity or lack thereof is all about individual decisionmaking.

But the president would most likely never admit that, because it goes against his belief that government can impose a form of social justice by forcibly redistributing the wages of the successful.

For Obamacare architects, problems are features, not bugs The defects of the Obamacare website have become well known. But the problems with the law go further than the website. These problems are not incidental, but central to its design and the intentions of its architects.

Many Obamacare backers, including Barack Obama, would prefer “single-payer” health insurance. The government would pay for everything and you would get health care for free.

There is an inconsistency here with the way we treat other things regarded as the basics of life — food, shelter, clothing. Government subsidizes food purchases only for some — though a sharply increasing number in the Obama years — through food stamps. It also has subsidized housing through loan guarantees and laws encouraging mortgages for the uncreditworthy – policies that resulted in the financial crisis of 2008-09.

Government hasn’t yet proposed subsidizing the purchase of clothing. But the thought is that health care, imposing disproportionate costs on some individuals, should be provided for free.

Obamacare’s architects knew the votes weren’t there for single-payer insurance, so they fashioned their health care legislation and regulations to reduce out-of-pocket costs for people with different health care needs.

Insurance policies have to include coverage for servic-

es that many consumers will not need, including maternity coverage and mental Michael health treatBarone ments.

E v e n Columnist Obamacare enthusiasts, such as Harold Pollack of the University of Chicago, suggest that the administration should “revisit just how minimal the most minimal insurance policies should be.” But that would work against the Obamacare goal of moving everyone toward paying less out of pocket for health care.

Even more egregious is Obamacare’s requirement that policies for one age group cost no more than three times the cost for another. In practice, this means that young consumers, who incur few heath care costs, are asked to subsidize people in old age groups, who incur many more.

This is the opposite of the progressive economic redistribution, which American liberals usually favor.

People in their 20s tend to have negative net worths.

They owe more — in consumer debt, on college loans — than they have in bank accounts, home equity and financial assets.

In contrast, people in the 55-64 age group, the oldest covered by Obamacare, tend to have relatively high net worths. Federal Reserve

wealth statistics consistently show that Americans reach their peak net worth in these years. After age 65, they start spending that net worth down.

So why did the Obamacare architects want to take from the poor and give to the relatively rich? Because they want to make health insurance less like insurance — which protects you against unlikely and unwelcome events — and more like an entitlement.

Equalizing premiums tends to move in that direction. The fact that Obamacare policies are like auto insurance policies that cover oil changes is, for the Obamacare architects, a feature — not a bug.

Of course, reducing health care outlays once the insurance premium is paid makes health care consumers less price-conscious. It means that market mechanisms that have reduced the cost of noninsurable treatments — cosmetic surgery, Lasik treatments – will not be operating. And it increases the likelihood that health care providers will act like the callous unionized employees in Britain’s National Health Service who let patients in the Mid Staffordshire hospitals die unattended or lie in their own waste.

The problem for Obamacare architects is that people are resisting being conscripted into their service.

The low penalties for remaining uninsured in early years, plus the difficulty of

using healthcare.gov, mean that many young people are not signing up.

This means that insurers will likely be stuck with a group of subscribers who are relatively sick and will have to raise premiums sharply next year to avoid losses – the death spiral you have been reading about.

It also means that others, particularly those not eligible for subsidies, may go shopping outside the website for policies that cover catastrophic costs and leave them free to decide whether and how much to spend on routine care.

The Obama administration’s response has been lawlessness — suspending the law on employer mandates, subsidy verification, subsidies for federal health exchange policies and availability of pre-existing policies.

The insightful liberal journalist Thomas Edsall asks on his New York Times blog, “Is the federal government capable of managing the provision of a fundamental service through an extraordinarily complex system?”

The answer, on health care as on food, shelter and clothing, seems to be “no.”

Newspaper: Sorry for panning address HARRISBURG, Pa. — It took 150 years, but a Pennsylvania newspaper said Thursday it should have recognized the greatness of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address at the time it was delivered.

The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, about 35 miles northeast of Gettysburg, retracted a dismissive editorial penned by its Civil War-era predecessor, The Harrisburg Patriot & Union.

The president’s speech is now considered a triumph of American oratory.

The retraction, which echoes Lincoln’s nowfamiliar language, said the newspaper’s November 1863 coverage was wrong when it described the speech as “silly remarks” that deserved a “veil of oblivion.”

The paper now says it regrets the error of not seeing its “momentous importance, timeless eloquence and lasting significance.”

“By today’s words alone, we cannot exalt, we cannot hallow, we cannot venerate this sacred text, for a grateful nation long ago came to view those words with reverence, without guidance from this chagrined member of the mainstream media,” the paper wrote, echoing the words of the address.

Separately, the paper also recounted how it covered the dedication

of the national cemetery, nearly five months after the pivotal battle in which federal forces repelled a Confederate Army advance from Virginia into Pennsylvania.

More than 3,500 Union soldiers killed in the battle are buried there.

During the Civil War, the Patriot & Union was a Democratic newspaper that was staunchly opposed to Lincoln.

Guilty plea in bird deaths is a first WASHINGTON — A major U.S. power company has pleaded guilty to killing eagles and other birds at two Wyoming wind farms and agreed to pay $1 million as part of the first enforcement of environmental laws protecting birds against wind energy facilities.

Until the settlement announced Friday with Duke Energy Corp. and its renewable energy arm, not a single wind energy company had been prosecuted for a death of an eagle or other protected bird — even though each death is a violation of federal law, unless a company has a federal permit.

Not a single wind energy facility has obtained a permit.

The Charlotte, N.C.based company pleaded guilty to killing 14 eagles and 149 other birds at its Top of the World and Campbell Hill wind farms outside Casper, Wyo. All the deaths, which included golden eagles, hawks, blackbirds, wrens and

sparrows, occurred from 2009 to 2013.

“Wind energy is not green if it is killing hundreds of thousands of birds,” said George Fenwick, president of the American Bird Conservancy, which supports properly sited wind farms. “The unfortunate reality is that the flagrant violations of the law seen in this case are widespread.”

There could be more enforcement. The Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating 18 birddeath cases involving wind-power facilities, and about a half-dozen have been referred to the Justice Department.

Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Though the blades appear to move slowly, they can reach speeds up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornado-like vortexes. Eagles are especially vulnerable because they don’t look up as they scan the ground for food, failing to notice the blades until it’s too late.

“No form of energy generation, or human activity for that matter, is completely free of impacts, and wind energy is no exception,” the American Wind Energy Association said in a statement.

The case against Duke Energy and Duke Energy Renewables Inc. was the first prosecuted under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act against a wind energy company.

Texan gets prison in fraud plot probe GULFPORT — A Texas man has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for his role in a scheme to defraud customers of a bogus shipping business that he claimed to operate in south Mississippi.

U.S. District Judge Walter J. Gex III also on Thursday ordered 35-year-old Dustin Lee Griswold, of Channelview, Texas, to pay more than $623,000 in restitution to several businesses that weren’t paid for their services.

The Sun Herald reports that Griswold and his wife, 37-year-old Jennifer Griswold, pleaded guilty in August for their roles in the fraud investigation.

Gex sentenced Dustin Lee Griswold to 51 months in prison for his guilty plea to a charge of conspiring to commit wire fraud. Jennifer Griswold, who pleaded guilty to a charge of misprision of a felony, was sentenced earlier this month to seven months in prison.

Prosecutors have said the couple took payments from clients, but hired other companies to move their freight and failed to pay the delivery companies.

Tour stop to honor black soldiers at site BALDWYN — Brice’s Crossroad Battlefield officials are hoping to add a tour stop to honor black soldiers who

fought in the Civil War battle in north Mississippi.

“Nothing has been decided; this is only a concept at this point,” said Edwina Carpenter, the director of the Mississippi’s Final Stands Interpretive Center, which includes the Battle of Brice’s Crossroads and the Battle of Tupelo/ Harrisburg.

Carpenter tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that under consideration are three markers — or “waystops” — plus a monument, perhaps a statue, of some kind to mark units of the United States Colored Troops.

The proposed memorial would honor the soldiers of the 55th and 59th U.S. Colored Infantry and Company F of the 2nd United States Colored Artillery.

The tour stop would sit on about five acres set aside off County Road 166 in Union County, near the site of the Holland House and the first line of defense they formed during the battle.

The units served as a rear guard to protect some 250 wagons and ambulances.

“The memorial would honor these brave soldiers; it’s something we’ve talked about for a long time,” Carpenter said.

The next step is to take the concept plan to the battlefield commission and get their input, she said.

“We estimate the cost would be around $25,000 to $30,000,” she said.

Abortion clinic owner in legal fight JACKSON — Abortion clinic owner Diane Derzis has stared down protesters, laughed off those who call her “baby killer” and smiled through clenched teeth while bantering with people who want to close her centers in the South.

She has been an abortion rights advocate for decades and owned clinics since 1996, but Derzis is facing some of the biggest political and legal pressure she has ever seen. She spars with pastors and politicians alike, and her latest fight is to keep open her Mississippi clinic, the last one remaining in the state.

Derzis is in a legal battle over a 2012 state law that requires the Mississippi clinic’s physicians to have admitting privileges at a local hospital.

The fight is similar to one playing out in Texas, where a third of the state’s abortion clinics have closed since a law there was enacted earlier this year.

The U.S. Supreme Court said this past week the Texas law can remain in effect while a lawsuit is heard.

The laws are the latest in a series of state-level restrictions across country.

Supporters say they are designed to protect women’s health, while opponents say they chip away at the right to abortion established 40 years ago by the Supreme Court’s Roe v.

Wade decision.

“We have every intention of doing that.”

The decision, however, has left some folks associated with the Abbey puzzled and concerned for the program’s future.

“I hope very much it will go on.” said retired USM French professor Elizabeth Anglin, who has both taught in the program and acted as an on-site manager.

“I don’t fault anyone because I don’t know what happened,” she added.

“I’ve known some students who came to USM because of the Abbey program,” Anglin said. “They knew what they wanted to do as soon as they got here, and they were ready.”

Work Hard Rest Easy

USM’s Abbey program suspended for 2014 HATTIESBURG — For University of Southern Mississippi junior Courtney McMullen, studying at the Abbey program in France this past spring was a life-changing experience.

In fact, she and her college roommates have had a hard time letting go ever since.

“We all sit around and watch French movies on Netflix, try to speak French to each other and attempt to cook French food — sometimes rather badly,” said McMullen.

The Abbey, one of USM’s most prominent study-abroad programs, has brought more than 550 students to France through a consortium of universities since it was formed in 2002.

A budget deficit within the program, combined with uncertain leadership in USM’s international studies office, has prompted university officials to suspend the Abbey program for spring 2014.

It will be back, said USM Miss Provost Denis Wiesenburg. He said the university needs time to re-examine the program’s financial operations and find new directors for both the program and Center for International Education that houses it.

“We’re just not in a position to do anything other than suspend what we’re doing and then spin

FEMA forgives Gulfport’s $16 million disaster loan GULFPORT — The Federal Emergency Management Agency has agreed to forgive a $16.4 million loan that Gulfport received after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast in 2005.

The Sun Herald reports that Mayor Billy Hewes notified Gulfport city council members about FEMA’s decision.

Gulfport had been setting aside money to repay the community

disaster loan. Hewes says he and council members will discuss how that money can be used to cover other city expenses.

Gulfport and other Gulf Coast municipalities had previous loanforgiveness requests denied before FEMA changed its rules in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated parts of the East Coast in 2012.

A letter from a FEMA official said Gulfport had demonstrated that the city incurred a total loss of nearly $30 million from Katrina.

Starkville police chief put on paid leave STARKVILLE — Starkville police Chief David Lindley has been placed on paid administrative leave, though a reason for the move wasn’t immediately disclosed.

Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman tells local television stations that the city’s Board of Aldermen decided to place Lindley on leave during a closed-door meeting Friday.

Wiseman didn’t give a reason for the decision, saying he can’t comment on personnel matters.

He didn’t immediately respond to a telephone call and email from The Associated Press on Saturday.

The TV stations report that former Assistant Police Chief John Outlaw will serve as interim chief in Lindley’s absence.

If government backs in-flight calls, will the airlines?

NEW YORK — The Federal Communications Commission might be ready to permit cellphone calls in flight. But what about the airlines?

Old concerns about electronics being a danger to airplane navigation have been debunked. And airlines could make some extra cash charging passengers to call a loved one from 35,000 feet.

But that extra money might not be worth the backlash from fliers who view overly chatty neighbors as another inconvenience to go along with smaller seats and stuffed overhead bins.

“Common courtesy goes out the window when people step in that metal tube,” says James Patrick II, a frequent flier from Newnan, Ga. “You think the debates and fistfights over reclining the seat back was bad. Wait until guys start slugging it out over someone talking too loud on the phone.”

That’s one of the reasons the country’s largest flight attendant union has come out against allowing calls in flight. The FCC is proposing to lift an existing ban, and airlines would have to decide whether to let passengers make calls. The ban would remain in effect during takeoff and landing.

Delta Air Lines is the only major airline to explicitly state that voice calls won’t be allowed on its flights, even if the FCC allows it.

Delta says years of feedback from customers show “the overwhelming sentiment” is to continue prohibiting calls.

Other airlines aren’t as firm.

United Airlines says that if the

among desert dwellers in Arizona and New Mexico.

Snowplows worked overnight and early Saturday to clear roads across northern Arizona and New Mexico as transportation officials warned travelers to reconsider their plans.

Jennifer Palucki, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, called the approaching weather a “big kahuna” of a storm.

“All that arctic air across New Mexico laid the groundwork.

Then we have this bigger upperlevel storm system over southern California and ahead of that is this nice stream of moisture coming up over New Mexico,” she said. “That makes for a good recipe for snow.”

JFK’s death overshadowed Ohio nursing home fire TOLEDO, Ohio — While an anguished nation slept in the hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, flames tore through a nursing home in rural northern Ohio, killing 63 people in what remains one of the worst such fires in U.S. history.

Many victims had been restrained to their beds or trapped behind wheelchairs that were too wide for the exits. Investigators later blamed faulty wiring and found the nursing home didn’t have an evacuation plan.

Overshadowed by the shooting in Dallas 50 years ago and largely forgotten today, that deadly fire — along with a string of other nursing home fires in the 1960s — helped bring about better federal and state oversight and uniform safety rules for the industry.

Don’t worry; hang in there during those tough times There are times when dealing with challenges feels like an endurance test. You become tired, worn out, frustrated, irritable, and your outlook turns negative. Everyone goes through these periods. You can’t avoid them but you can learn to hang in there until you get out.

When in this mode, your perception becomes clouded. Your judgment is compromised. Ironically, when you feel as if you are hanging on by your fingernails and can’t do so much longer, is often the stage where a turning point is just around the corner. It’s especially at these times when you must hang in there a little longer.

Here are some practical strategies to help you hang in there. You are not unique in having to deal with challenges. Everyone goes through this process.

Successful people utilize these strategies to hang in there as long as necessary.

Don’t foster a victim mentality. You are not helpless. There are situations outside your control but your response is up to you. Wallowing in a “woe

is me” attitude only exacerbates your level of frustration.

D o n ’ t Bryan waste time Golden and energy worrying.

Dare to Live Without Limits It will drain you.

Put your effort into being proactive. People with a victim mentality are passive. Remember that worry is like being in a rocking chair; it’s a lot of activity that doesn’t get you anywhere.

Don’t become paralyzed by fear. Trepidation of the unknown is normal. Consider the worst case scenario. Most of the time, it is not as bad as you think.

Progress is possible only when you venture into the unknown.

Keep things in perspective. As your endurance wanes, situations become magnified out of proportion. Take a step back in order to look at things more objectively. How would you be viewing the same situation if it were affecting someone else?

What advice would you offer them? Give yourself

a mental break by not thinking about your situation for a while. When you go back to it, you will have a fresh, more realistic outlook.

Learn from your past.

You don’t have to relive it. We all have had bad experiences. Don’t become jaded. The only direction in life is forward. Don’t waste time lamenting the past.

Focus on what you have, not what you are lacking. A common syndrome is people ignoring their assets while fretting over perceived liabilities.

An appreciation for the good things in your life helps you maintain a positive attitude. A positive outlook helps you hang in there.

There are situations where you have to cut lose and move on. This

strategy is not the same as giving up. Rather, it’s recognizing there is nothing more you can do. Instead of becoming mired in a no win situation, you choose to move forward with your life.

Don’t let others make decisions for you. When frazzled, you become more desperate for solutions. As a result, there is a tendency to take suggestions from people who, although well meaning, don’t have the needed expertise or insight you require. Any decisions you make must be your own. You are the only one responsible for your actions. Blaming others for bad advice gets you nowhere.

Anything worthwhile takes effort. The loftier your goals, the bigger the challenges you will

have to deal with. It’s essential for you to be able to hang in there until you discover appropriate solutions. Since you never know how close you are to success, giving up is not an option. The strategies listed here will all help you hang in there when applied. The next column will offer some more suggestions for hanging in there.

“This is the beginning. We look forward to the upcoming year and future endeavors,” Anerton said, noting ACCO plans to continue to move forward with the Corporate Giving Program in 2014 as it partners with the community.

Booneville Mayor Derrick Blythe thanked ACCO Brands for the generosity of the Corporate Giving Program and the commitment shown to the community.

“It’s overwhelming,” Blythe said. “We’ll see great things happening.”

Leon Hays, Executive Director of the Prentiss County Development Association, also expressed thanks to ACCO. “I was taken aback by their generosity,” Hays said.

In addition to Christina Lawless and Alisha Anerton, other ACCO officials attending the presentation included Bob Alley, Indirect Manufacturing General Manager; Chuck Milner, Indirect Logistics General Manager; and Tammy Freeman, Human Resources Generalist.

The predecessors of ACCO Brands’ Booneville facility have been a manufacturing presence in Booneville since 1969. The local facility joined the ACCO Brands family in 2005.

Brands produced here are Quartet and Wilson Jones while brands managed here are Kensington, Day-Timer and GBC. Items produced in Booneville include ring binders, custom speciality binders, dry erase boards and cork boards.

The square footage of manufacturing and distribution facilities is 885,500 while the number of employees is around 531.

BOONEVILLE — ACCO Brands in Booneville proved its commitment to Booneville and Prentiss County last Thursday by donating a total of $80,000 to eight organizations that will touch thousands of people in the community through their outreach efforts.

“We’ve been blessed to give back to our community,” said Christina Lawless, Senior Human Resources Business Manager.

ACCO Brands is one of Prentiss County’s largest employers with around 531 employees. Company officials said while ACCO has a great community presence, its goal is to make that presence even stronger.

“We are honored to be a part of this community and are committed to continuing our support of those organizations that work to make this a better community,” said Lawless.

The presentation took place in Booneville City Hall amidst much applause as the donations were announced.

This gift of $80,000 is in addition to employee donations raised through giving campaigns.

Organizations tapped to receive donations from the ACCO Brands Corporate Giving Program were the American Cancer Society, Main Street Association, Booneville School District, Goodfellows, Boys and Girls Club, Junior Auxiliary, United Way and Booneville Cultural Arts.

Alisha Anerton, ACCO Human Resources Generalist, announced the funding as follows: ■ American Cancer Society Relay for Life, $4,000. Additionally, ACCO Brands employees raised $6,000 for the Prentiss County Re-

lay for Life that impacts over 3,000 individuals in Prentiss County.

■ Main Street Association, $5,000. ACCO Brands will be sponsoring a community tree lighting ceremony downtown in partnership with the Main Street Association. (The Community Christmas Tree Lighting has been set for Sunday, Dec. 1, at 5 p.m. in the triangle area in downtown Booneville.)

■ Booneville School District, $7,500. Of this donation, $2,500 goes toward the Academic Awards Banquet/sponsor Student of the Month and $5,000 will go toward the indoor baseball/softball practice facility. There are 1,200 students within the Booneville School District.

■ Prentiss County Goodfellows, $7,500. The Goodfellows provide food baskets to those in need during the holiday season (600 to 800 families).

■ Boys & Girls Club, $10,000, which will help propel the S.T.E.M. and Literacy Programs (computers, software, art contest supplies). This serves students 4th grade and up.

■ Junior Auxiliary, $11,000, to go toward sponsoring family meals (deep freezer/food) and Angel Tree. ACCO Brands sponsored a deep freezer and money to make food to fill the freezer for the Fall Festival. ACCO plans to support the Angel Tree program by sponsoring 80 angels and the employees will be partnering with Junior Auxiliary to purchase items for those in need.

■ United Way, $15,000, with the money designated to go toward the organizations within Prentiss County served by United Way. ■ Booneville Cultural Arts, $20,000, to help with the restoration and beautification of the his-

industrial parks with more than 3,000 acres of industrial land since 1948,” Rumbarger said.

“Today, there is more than 22 million square feet of industrial space with less than a six percent vacancy rate. There are 39 industries in Lee County industrial parks that employ more than 8,500 persons.”

When looking at the “pro” side of developing industrial parks, the Golden Triangle Development Link is the poster child for success in Mississippi.

“We have purchased/ developed almost 6,000 acres in the last ten years,” said Link CEO Joe Max Higgins Jr. “We currently have options on another 1,000 acres that are strategically located. We have installed more than $200 million in infrastructure (water/ sewer/rail/roads).

We have secured investment of $4.5 billion and have created 5,600 jobs. In Lowndes alone we are putting almost $20 million into the school and city/ county coffers annually.”

His philosophy is, if you don’t have product, you are not going to win.

“But you must have resources other than the product to win, you must have an adequately funded and staffed organization and also the ability to offer a competitive incentive package in addition to what the state might offer,” Higgins said.

Angela Curry, executive director of the Greenwood-Leflore Industrial Board, said it is important that parks be strategically located and geared toward the types of industry that you want to attract.

“We are very fortunate to have several industrial parks in our county,” Curry said. “The GreenwoodLeflore Industrial Park, located at the intersection of Highways 82 and 49, is our most prominent park. It is home to major industry such as Milwaukee Electric Tool Company, HDW, Inc. and The John Richard Company, among others.”

The Airport Industrial Park markets to aviationrelated companies and currently houses GE Capital Aviation Services. The Itta Bena Industrial Park located in West Leflore County is geared toward retail and service sector industry.

“This park is strategically located off of Highway 82 West, adjacent to the Leflore County Incubator and Mississippi Valley State University,” Curry said. “The Rising Sun Industrial Park located off Highway 49 South is ideal for ag related industry such as Express Grain that currently sits on about 150 acres.”

Curry said industrial parks are great assets for communities looking to recruit new business and industry, as some projects require green space for new construction.

Turkey stuffed with dressing is also dressed with stuffing DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have the same argument every year around Thanksgiving.

He says there is a difference between stuffing and dressing.

I say they’re the same thing, except that stuffing is baked in the turkey, while dressing is baked separately in a casserole dish.

My husband insists I’m wrong -- that the difference has nothing to do with how it’s cooked.

He thinks stuffing is made with regular bread, while dressing is made with cornbread.

The debate is driving me crazy.

Will you please tell me who is right? -- STUFFING VS. DRESSING IN OHIO DEAR STUFFING VS. DRESSING: The terms “dressing” and “stuffing” are interchangeable.

They refer to a seasoned mixture used to stuff meat or poultry. It makes no difference what kind of bread is used.

Some tips: If you plan to stuff your turkey, be sure all the ingredients are pre-cooked (i.e. vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood).

Using pasteurized liquid eggs is safer than using raw eggs. The bird should be loosely stuffed, not packed because stuffing expands while cooking, and the turkey should be stuffed right before it is put into the oven, never ahead of time.

The stuffing takes the longest of the bird’s components to reach the desired safe tempera-

ture (165 degrees). Once the stuffing is in the turkey, it should not be removed until the turkey is ready Abigail toDbe Ecarved.

A R Van Buren ABBY: My husband and Dear Abby I have lived here for 20 years, and so have our lovely, gracious and caring neighbors. We haven’t had any new neighbors for years -- until now.

My husband has met the couple in passing, but I haven’t yet.

There has been a lot of activity over there, what with moving in, etc. As a neighbor, when and how should I approach them and offer my welcome to the neighborhood? Should I bring them something? If so, what’s the best thing? -- KATE IN QUINCY, MASS. DEAR KATE: I can tell by your question that the folks in your neighborhood are indeed “lovely, gracious and caring.” The first thing you should bring the new neighbors is a warm smile. And it wouldn’t hurt if along with it you brought a plate of edible treats and an offer to refer them to the nearest market, dry cleaner, your shoe repair shop and a reliable

plumber.

DEAR ABBY: My dad came into my room and told me he and my mom were having problems -- that they were thinking about getting divorced. I can’t imagine living without them or having to choose who I want to live with.

Every child needs her mother, but Dad is the one who has always been there for me. Should I just live with my grandparents and see how that works out?

What should I do? -- BAFFLED IN THE SOUTH DEAR BAFFLED: It was wrong of your father to talk to you about this before anything had been decided between him and your mother.

I realize that my telling you not to worry about this would do no good because being upset is perfectly natural in these circumstances. Your father may have spoken prematurely, so KEEP THAT IN MIND. You should talk to both of your parents about this. If you are close to your grandparents, discuss it with them, too, since you feel you might like to live with them to avoid hurting either parent.

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).

The questions you ask will bring about the answers you already have in your head. To find out the truth, a person has to let go of preconceived notions and go in with an open mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

What’s more boring than saying nothing? Saying everything! So many people will seem to find you interesting today, and this is because you listen slightly more than you talk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Some small piece of information you once believed will now prove false, casting doubt on the other things you thought you knew.

Take this as a sign of positive growth.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You have made an impression that you were not aware you were making. Someone will be happy to see you -- and much happier than appearances suggest, because this person is trying to

play it cool.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be working with a kind of map.

It won’t take you to a physical place; it will take you to a beautiful place inside your psyche. You can use it to get back whenever you need to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Some pleasures seem universal, but be careful not to impose your idea of a good time on anyone else. You’ll deal with many different types of people, and each one has a unique version of fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will thrive artistically, though not publicly. You’ll explore your talent in a safe environment, delighting in the work. Don’t show anyone until you’re sure it’s ready.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s as though you can project yourself into the future. You’ll take preventive measures and prepare well for an upcoming event. All of this thinking ahead will make you a star when it’s

your turn to shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll feel motivated to change a pattern. Today’s action eventually will turn into a good habit. You quickly will get better at whatever you do repeatedly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Check in with your higher mind before you follow the group.

You’re likely to think of a better way. Groups of people have been known to do rather crazy things that individual people wouldn’t.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You may not be aware of what you value until today’s events point it out to you. Humor and amusement are higher on the list than last week. Levity is what keeps your soul unfettered.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s said that ideas are more powerful than things, and yet you could make a compelling argument in the other direction today.

The action will be stalled until a key material is obtained.

Vandy rallies for 14-10 win over Vols

BY STEVE MEGARGEE Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — In his wildest dreams, Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette couldn’t have imagined a happier homecoming.

In its worst nightmares, Tennessee couldn’t have pictured a more heartbreaking home finale.

Robinette, who grew up about 20 miles from Tennessee’s campus in Maryville, Tenn., ran for a 5-yard touchdown with 16 seconds remaining Saturday as Vanderbilt rallied for a 1410 victory over the Volunteers. Vanderbilt’s winning drive was kept alive after Tennessee’s fourth-and-inches stop of quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels in the final minute was overturned on replay, giving Vanderbilt a first down at the Tennessee 33.

“It was huge for us,” Robinette said.

“The fact I’m from Maryville just made it even sweeter.”

Vanderbilt (7-4, 4-4 SEC) overcame four turnovers to beat Tennessee for the second straight year, giving the Commodores consecutive victories over their in-state rivals for the first time since winning six straight over the Volunteers from 1920-26. The Commodores’ 16 wins over the last two years are their most over a two-season stretch since 1927-28.

“We started the game out on certain sides of the ball trying our hardest to lose the game,” Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said. “But the thing that I think is so special about this team is this team knows how to win.

Over the last three years, we’ve created a culture that the players expect to win and they find ways to win. Sometimes it’s not always pretty.”

The Vols (4-7, 1-6) fell out of bowl contention and clinched their fourth straight losing season, something that hasn’t happened at Tennessee since 1903-06.

“What do you think it is like?” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “You have 28 seniors who have given everything to this football program. Yeah it is emotional because you put a lot of effort and work into it. I feel for these kids who have done everything we have asked of them. Unfortunately we came up short today.”

Just a few minutes before Robinette’s winning touchdown, Tennessee was celebrating an apparent victory.

Neyland Stadium’s partisan crowd of 97,223 was in a frenzy after the Vols apparently stopped Carta-Samuels for no gain, but Vanderbilt maintained possession after replay official Ben Oldham determined Carta-Samuels had crossed the first-down marker.

Jones declined to comment on the officiating after the game. Hood said he wasn’t surprised the call was overturned because of all the breaks that have gone against the Vols.

Mississippi State edges Arkansas in OT

BY CHRIS MURRAY Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Mississippi State finally got the best of Arkansas in an overtime game and in the state of Arkansas.

Damian Williams scored on a 25-yard touchdown run on the first play of overtime, and the Mississippi State defense made it stand, as the Bulldogs defeated Arkansas 24-17 on Saturday before a crowd of 45,198 at War Memorial Stadium.

Mississippi State (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) got an interception by Taveze Calhoun on fourth down to seal the victory and keep its bowl hopes alive. Arkansas gained only one yard on its first three plays, and Calhoun stepped in front of the receiver and snared Brandon Allen’s pass, returning it across midfield before being tackled.

Williams alternated with Tyler Russell at quarterback throughout the game. While Russell is the better passing option, Williams showed what he can do with his legs, following the blocking of his offensive line and running back Josh Robinson into the end zone.

“I love to be in those types of situations,” Williams said.

“That’s the type of guy I am.

I know the offensive line and the rest of the guys were going to help me get through it and they did.”

The Bulldogs lost to Arkansas in overtime contests in 1996, 2000 and 2010, all in Starkville, Miss., and had never defeated the Razorbacks in Arkansas. Mississippi State’s best result in the Natural State was a 13-13 tie in 1993. Arkansas still leads the all-time series 15-8-1. The Bulldogs can become bowl eli-

gible with a win over rival Ole Miss on Thanksgiving night in Starkville.

“Our guys had a lot working against them today, a bangedup, beat-up team,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said.

“A lot of things didn’t go our way. They had years of history going against them, and those guys kept battling and they found a way to win.”

Mississippi State had a chance to win the game in regulation, but Devon Bell’s 42-yard field goal drifted wide right with 24 seconds remaining. That came after Arkansas (3-8, 0-7) failed to cash in on its own chance to take the lead late in regulation. With the score tied 17-17, Allen passed to Jeremy Sprinkle for 44 yards to the Mississippi State 12. But Alex Collins fumbled on the next play, and Nickoe Whitley recovered for the Bulldogs at the Arkansas 9.

Arkansas led 10-0 in the first half, but was unable to maintain the lead and lost its eighth consecutive game for the first time in school history. The only game between Arkansas and its first winless SEC season is Friday’s season finale at LSU. After a first half that ended in a 10-10 tie, the Razorbacks took a 17-10 lead on a 22yard run by Julian Horton in the third quarter on an end around. The Bulldogs answered immediately, covering 75 yards in 11 plays, as Russell connected with Jameon Lewis for a 5-yard touchdown on third down to knot the score.

The Razorbacks took the opening kick and went 56 yards for a touchdown. After Korliss Marshall’s kick return gave it a short field, Arkansas quickly moved into Mississippi State Please see MSU | 11A

Magee, No. 9 LSU upend Texas A&M

BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — Les Miles loves calling Death Valley the place opponents’ dreams go to die. The same might someday be said about Johnny Manziel’s bid for a second Heisman Trophy.

Terrence Magee piled up a career-high 149 yards rushing, LSU’s defense pulled the plug on Johnny Football and Texas A&M’s video-game offense, and No. 18 LSU energized Tiger Stadium with a commanding 34-10 victory over the ninth-ranked Aggies on Saturday.

“We just got punched in the mouth tonight and it wasn’t fun,” Manziel said. “It wasn’t fun to get beat like that. We will see how we handle adversity. This team with a bunch of young guys — we just have to see how they bounce back.”

What was likely Manziel’s only visit to Tiger Stadium (he could turn pro next year) was among the worst outings of his otherwise brilliant career. He passed for 224 yards and a TD, but completed only 16 of 41 attempts, was sacked twice and intercepted twice as the Aggies’ road winning streak ended at 10.

Two weeks ago, LSU’s

young defense appeared ground down in the second half of a 38-17 loss at Alabama, begging the question of how vulnerable the unit might be against Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference), whose SEC-leading offense came in averaging a whopping 578 yards and 49.2 points per game.

Instead, the Tigers (8-3, 4-3) became the first to shut out Manziel in a first quarter since September of 2012, and ended A&M’s 13-game streak of scoring 40 or more points. The Aggies’ point and yardage totals were their lowest since coach Kevin Sumlin arrived last season, when Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, became the starting quarterback as a redshirt freshman.

Miles, given the game ball by his players, counted himself among the least surprised by way the Tigers made Manziel’s visit a miserable one.

“They look forward to playing a quality opponent with marquee written all over it,” LSU’s coach said. “Competition: It’s a long word and there’s a lot to it. ... This is a team that knows how to play in big games and will fight you.

“The defense rushed and maintained leverage and we put speed on the field and covered,” Miles added.

“That’s the kind of LSU defense that we’re used to.”

The Tigers gave some credit to Odell Beckham, who’s been named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation’s top receiver.

His five catches for 50 yards helped, but it was his work imitating Manziel with the scout team in practice that gave LSU’s defense a good sense of how to contain a dynamic scrambler.

“Odell may be faster than the opponent’s quarterback,” Miles said. “He’s as elusive as anybody I’ve ever known.”

The Aggies’ Biletnikoff candidate, Mike Evans, was held to four catches for 51 yards by freshman Rashard Robinson, who also made his first career interception.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton was among the 92,949 in attendance, eager to get a firsthand look at two of the top quarterbacks in college football.

He may have left more impressed with LSU’s Zach Mettenberger, who completed 11-of-20 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns

without an interception in chilly, wet and windy conditions. He found Jarvis Landry four times for 87 yards, including touchdowns of 40 and 10 yards. LSU piled up 324 yards on 55 carries, with Magee and Kenny Hilliard each powering in for short scores. LSU also outgained Texas A&M in total yards, 517-299.

“With the weather conditions tonight, that was something that kind of had to happen,” Magee said. “We wanted to keep Johnny off the field and the only way to do that was to keep the ball on the ground and let the clock run.”

LSU finished with a timeof-possession advantage of 40:19 to 19:41. That kept the defense fresh, and it showed.

In the first half, the Tigers ended one Aggies drive by pressuring Manziel into an errant pass on a fourth-down stop from the LSU 3. Later, Danielle Hunter’s sack forced A&M to settle for Josh Lambo’s 41-yard field goal. Senior safety Craig Loston intercepted Manziel in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

The temperature at kickoff was 51 degrees, with a chilly breeze .

Mississippi falters at home against Tigers

BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

OXFORD, Miss. — The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars.

But as a collective they’re an awfully tough bunch to beat, and the Tigers are now one victory away from playing for a Southeastern Conference championship in just their second season in the league.

Henry Josey rushed for two touchdowns, Marcus Murphy added another and No. 8 Missouri rolled to a 24-10 victory over No. 24 Mississippi on Saturday night.

“To say I’m proud of my football team and my staff would be an understatement,” Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. “They battle every time they play. They prepare well and focus at a very high level.”

The Tigers strolled into a hostile environment at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and never flinched, jumping

out to a 17-3 lead by halftime for the relatively easy victory.

Now the big one awaits for the Tigers (10-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference). The Tigers host Texas A&M next weekend, with a win clinching the SEC’s East Division title.

James Franklin completed 12 of 19 passes for 142 yards and an interception in his first start since a shoulder injury caused him to miss four games.

“I thought he did an outstanding job,” Pinkel said.

“The guy hadn’t played in six weeks and there was a lot of pressure on him to play well.”

The loss snapped a fourgame winning streak for Ole Miss (7-4, 3-4). Bo Wallace threw for 244 yards and an interception, but was battling an illness for much of the game and struggled during the second half.

Donte Moncrief caught six passes for 115 yards, but dropped what would have

been a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

Ole Miss made three trips to the red zone, but managed just three points.

“It’s impossible to beat a top 10 team when you get in the red zone and don’t score touchdowns or points,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. “... If you don’t score some points in the red zone against that team you aren’t going to win.”

It’s the fourth 10-win season for Missouri in the past seven years and was coach Gary Pinkel’s 100th win with the Tigers.

The Tigers’ used a deep running back rotation to slowly wear down the Ole Miss defense. Josey had most of the big plays, but Russell Hansbrough and Murphy combined for 99 more yards, helping Missouri shorten the game in the second half with time-consuming drives.

Missouri jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first quar-

ter after a blistering eightplay, 72-yard drive that took less than three minutes. Andrew Baggett added a 33-yard field goal and Murphy scored on a 3-yard run in the second quarter as the Tigers took a 17-3 halftime lead.

The Tigers finished with 485 total yards, including 260 on the ground.

“We’re just a focused team,” Missouri linebacker Andrew Wilson said. “The coaches did a good job keeping us focused.

We had a great gameplan. We knew what we had to do.”

Franklin — making his first start since suffering a shoulder injury Oct. 12 — completed 7 of 7 passes for 89 yards in the first half.

The Ole Miss offense had a few opportunities to match Missouri, but kept blowing opportunities in the red zone.

The litany of errors included two false start penalties, one blocked field goal attempt and several unsuccessful running plays.

Murray hurts knee, Georgia routs Kentucky

BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. — This was supposed to be the night Aaron Murray was celebrated for the toughness that helped him shine as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in SEC history.

Instead, Murray had to be carried off the field with a knee injury that coach Mark Richt said sapped much of the joy out of Georgia’s lopsided

win over Kentucky.

Murray threw four firsthalf touchdown passes before hurting his left knee, leaving backup Hutson Mason to play the second half in Georgia’s 59-17 rout of Kentucky on Saturday night.

Propped up by trainers, Murray couldn’t put weight on his left leg as he was taken to the locker room late in the first half of his final home game.

It was a sobering sight for Richt after Murray made his 52nd consecutive start.

“It’s just sickening,” Richt said. “I really had a hard time enjoying the rest of the game. ... It’s kind of a crummy feeling when you think of what Aaron is going through right now.”

Todd Gurley ran for 77 yards and had five catches for 90 yards, including touchdown receptions for 16 and

24 yards, for Georgia (7-4, 5-3 Southeastern Conference).

Murray, who has the most yards passing and TD passes in SEC history, began limping in the second quarter following a 28-yard run.

Already favoring the left knee, Murray left the game after he was hit by defensive end Za’Darius Smith following a pass that was intercepted by Khalid Henderson with 2:17 remaining in the half.

territory. Javontee Herndon scored, also on an end around, and Arkansas led 7-0. Zach Hocker added a career-best 54-yard field goal in the second quarter to make it 10-0.

“You can see what (Arkansas) is trying to build and how they’re trying to build it,” Mullen said.

“They have a tough, physical defensive line that makes plays and a big, physical offensive line.”

The Bulldogs countered in the final minutes of the second quarter. Bell’s 24yard field goal got them on the scoreboard with 5:08 left. Russell then found LaDarius Perkins on a play action down the middle of the field for a 30-yard touchdown to pull the Bulldogs even. That touchdown drive began when Arkansas failed to convert on a fake punt.Sam Irwin-Hill was dropped for a 4-yard loss on what was a curious call with the way Arkansas’ defense was playing and having the wind at its back.

“Mississippi State runs ‘punt safe’ quite a bit,” Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. “We thought we had a very, very good look.

It was the look that we wanted and we gave it the green light, and obviously missed a critical block.

“If I had it to do all over again, I obviously wouldn’t do it.”

Russell completed 18 of 28 passes for 263 yards and two scores before leaving the game late in regulation with an apparent shoulder injury. Robinson had 17 carries for 101 yards. Arkansas rushed for 225 yards as a team, spread out among nine ball carriers, but managed only 114 yards passing.

Study: Nuclear force feeling ‘burnout’ from work

BY ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON — Key members of the Air Force’s nuclear missile force are feeling “burnout” from what they see as exhausting, unrewarding and stressful work, according to an unpublished study obtained by The Associated Press.

The finding by researchers for RAND Corp. adds to indications that trouble inside the nuclear missile force runs deeper and wider than officials have acknowledged.

The study, provided to the AP in draft form, also cites heightened levels of misconduct like spousal abuse and says court-martial rates in the nuclear missile force in 2011 and 2012 were more than twice as high as in the overall Air Force.

These indicators add a new dimension to an emerging picture of malaise and worse inside the intercontinental ballistic missile force, an arm of the Air Force with a proud heritage but an uncertain future.

Late last year the Air Force directed RAND, a federally funded research house, to conduct a threemonth study of attitudes among the men and

women inside the ICBM force. It found a toxic mix of frustration and aggravation, heightened by a sense of being unappreciated, overworked, micromanaged and at constant risk of failure.

Remote and rarely seen, the ICBM force gets little public attention. The AP, however, this year has documented a string of missteps that call into question the management of a force that demands strict obedience to procedures.

Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, said in an interview Wednesday that he sees no evidence of fundamental problems in the ICBM force.

“There are issues like there are in every other mission area we have in the United States military, and we deal with the issues as they come up, and we deal with them pretty aggressively. But as far as getting the job done, they’re getting the job done — they do a great job of that every single day,” Welsh said.

The AP was advised in May of the confidential RAND study, shortly after it was completed, by a person who said it should be made public to

improve understanding of discontent within the ICBM force. After repeated inquiries, and shortly after the AP filed a Freedom of Information Act request for a PowerPoint outline, the Air Force provided it last Friday and arranged for RAND officials and two senior Air Force generals to explain it.

Based on confidential small-group discussions last winter with about 100 launch control officers, security forces, missile maintenance workers and others who work in the missile fields — plus responses to confidential questionnaires — RAND found low job satisfaction and workers distressed by staff shortages, equipment flaws and what they felt were stifling management tactics.

It also found what it termed “burnout.” In this context, “burnout” means feeling exhausted, cynical and ineffective on the job, according to Chaitra Hardison, RAND’s senior behavioral scientist and lead author of the study.

She used a system of measure that asks people to rate on a scale of 1 to 7 — from “never” to “always” — how often in their work they experience certain feelings, including tired-

ness, hopelessness and a sense of being trapped.

An average score of 4 or above is judged to put the person in the “burnout” range.

One service member said: “We don’t care if things go properly. We just don’t want to get in trouble.” That person and all others who participated in the study were granted confidentiality by RAND in order to speak freely.

The 13 launch officers who volunteered for the study scored an average of 4.4 on the burnout scale, tied for highest in the group. A group of 20 junior enlisted airmen assigned to missile security forces also scored 4.4.

This has always been considered hard duty, in part due to the enormous responsibility of safely operating nuclear missiles, the most destructive weapons ever invented.

In its Cold War heyday, an ICBM force twice as big as today’s was designed to deter the nuclear Armageddon that at times seemed all too possible amid a standoff with the Soviet Union and a relentless race to build more bombs.

Today the nuclear threat is no longer promi-

nent among America’s security challenges. The arsenal has shrunk — in size and stature. The Air Force struggles to demonstrate the relevance of its aging ICBMs in a world worried more about terrorism and cyberwar and accustomed to 21st century weapons such as drones.

This new reality is not lost on the young men and women who in most cases were “volunteered” for ICBM jobs.

Andrew Neal, 28, who completed a four-year tour in September with F.E. Warren’s 90th Missile Wing in Wyoming, where he served as a Minuteman 3 launch officer, said he saw marked swings in morale.

“Morale was low at times — very low,” Neal said in an interview, though he added that his comrades worked hard.

Neal says his generation has a different view of nuclear weapons.

“We all acknowledge their importance, but at the same time we really don’t think the mission is that critical,” Neal said, adding that his peers see the threat of full-scale nuclear war as “simply nonexistent.” So “we practice for all-out nuclear war, but we know that isn’t go-

ing to happen.”

Every hour of every day, 90 launch officers are on duty in underground command posts that control Minuteman 3 missiles. Inside each buried capsule are two officers responsible for 10 missiles, each in a separate silo, armed with one or more nuclear warheads and ready for launch within minutes.

They await a presidential launch order that has never arrived in the more than 50-year history of American ICBMs. The duty can be tiresome, with long hours, limited opportunities for career advancement and the constraints of life in remote areas of the northcentral U.S., like Minot Air Force Base, N.D. In his doctoral dissertation, published in 2010 after he finished a four-year tour with the 91st Missile Wing at Minot, Christopher J. Ewing said 71 of the 99 launch officers he surveyed there had not chosen that assignment.

RAND was looking for possible explanations for a trend worrying the Air Force — higher levels of personal and professional misconduct within the ICBM force relative to the rest of the Air Force.

Ex-AP writer recalls serving as Oswald pallbearer

BY MIKE COCHRAN Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — On a gloomy November afternoon, I helped carry the inexpensive wooden casket of Lee Harvey Oswald to a grave on a slight rise dotted with dying grass.

With no mourners around to serve as pallbearers, it was a task that fell to me and a few other reporters covering the funeral of John F. Kennedy’s assassin. Fifty years later, I remain a reluctant and minor footnote in American history.

Oswald, we’re gonna have to bury the son of a bitch ourselves.”

Sure enough, officials asked the gathered reporters to serve as pallbearers. I was among the first they asked, my reply not just “No!” but “Hell no!” Then Preston McGraw of United Press International stepped forward and volunteered, and with my top competition for scoops accepting the duty, I realized my error and joined McGraw and other reporters.

The ceremony itself was as brief as it was simple.

The Rev. Louis Saunders, executive secretary of the Fort Worth Council of Churches, had been drafted to fill in for the missing minister. His words — “we are not here to judge, only to commit for burial Lee Harvey Oswald” — were barely audible, mingled with muffled sobs

by Oswald’s mother and widow. Her eyes red and swollen, Marina Oswald stepped beside her husband’s casket and quietly whispered something.

Not long after the nation’s slain president was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery with tearful family members and millions of television viewers around the world looking on, Oswald’s body was lowered into his grave at 4:28 p.m.

For years, I would continue to report on the assassination, interviewing Oswald’s mother, investigating conspiracy theories and writing stories on the anniversary of that dreadful day in Dallas.

For one of the first of those anniversary stories, I wanted to interview Oswald’s widow. She had remarried, moved to suburban Dallas and rarely spoke to reporters. Her new husband had reportedly brandished a pistol and chased one away.

Early on a cloudy November morning, I staked out their house and trudged up the steps after he left for work. I had not called ahead, but identified myself as an AP reporter when Marina Oswald opened the door.

“I am no longer news,” she said, making it clear she did not intend to talk with me.

She was slim and blonde, with arresting eyes of an intense bluegreen and a distinctive Russian accent. She was 24 and I must have stared like a smitten dolt.

“Is something wrong?” she asked.

Embarrassed, I babbled something about not having seen her since that day at Rose Hill.

“You were there?” she asked. I told her I was a pallbearer.

Surprised, she said the least she could do was invite me in for coffee. Several hours later, we were still talking and smoking. Denied cigarettes by Oswald during their marriage, she was now a chain smoker.

“Have you ever tried to analyze yourself?” she asked me at one point, then added: “It’s very hard to do.”

Asked about the Warren Commission’s conclusion that her husband was the lone assassin, she said: “I think about it a lot. I try to forget. It is very difficult.

It is like a nightmare. ... I have nightmares.”

Years later, in 1983, when working on a story about the 20th anniversary, I interviewed Marina Oswald for the second and last time. She was no less candid and still a heavy smoker.

“For a while I thought it would all blow over, just go away,” she said. “But now I accept the fact that I must live with this the rest of my life.

“I may still be naive, but I’m not stupid.”

Experts: HealthCare.gov fix needs time, money

BY BREE FOWLER

“Will it eventually work?

Yes, because they have to make it work. But it’ll be very expensive.”

AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Technology experts say healing what ails the Healthcare.gov website will be a tougher task than the Obama administration acknowledges.

“It’s going to cost a lot of tax dollars to get this done,” says Bill Curtis, senior vice president and chief scientist at CAST, a French software analysis company with offices in the U.S. Curtis says programmers and systems analysts start fixing troubled websites by addressing the glitches they can see. But based on his analysis of the site, he believes the ongoing repairs are likely to reveal even deeper problems, making it tough to predict when all the site’s issues will be resolved.

“Will it eventually work? Yes, because they have to make it work,” he says. “But it’ll be very expensive.”

Curtis and other technology executives say the site’s problems are the result of poor management of its many working parts.

They also believe, as Congressional testimony has revealed, the site suffered from a lack of testing once all its systems were in place.

The federal health insurance exchange website —which cost taxpayers more than $600 million to build, according to the Government Accountability Office — has been crippled by technical problems since its Oct. 1 launch. Since then, everyone from top White House officials to the contractors who worked on the site have been called before congressional committees to determine what went wrong and who is to blame.

Bill Curtis Senior vice president and chief scientist at CAST The White House originally promised to have the site running smoothly by the end of November. But at a news conference last week, President Obama said he couldn’t guarantee that the site will be completely bug free by then.

The HealthCare.gov site is supposed to serve as a marketplace where people can enter their personal information, search and sign up for required health care coverage. But the site is a patchwork quilt of sorts.

It pulls together a slew of contributions from various government contractors and attempts to join the structure with the systems of participating insurance companies.

Experts say the amount of information coursing through HealthCare.gov dwarfs that of any other government website, making it more similar to a high-traffic e-commerce operation such as Amazon.com or eBay. They contend the government didn’t design the site with the kind of retail-like infrastructure it needs to keep up with demand and failed to knit its pieces together in an efficient way.

Curtis says visible parts of the website’s programming code reveal a host of analytic and data coordination failures — a red flag that the site wasn’t designed by people with a lot of experience building high-traffic websites.

He notes that government projects are typi-

Shop offers tattoos for tips Associated Press

BERWICK, Pa. — The owner of a Pennsylvania tattoo shop that was broken into is putting up an unusual reward for information leading to arrests — free tattoos and piercings for life.

Brandon George of Permanently Scarred Tattoos in Berwick posted the offer on his Facebook page after he found the door kicked in Thursday morn-

ing and a TV and other gear stolen.

He said that the breakin cost him several thousand dollars.

George says he thinks more than one person was involved because it would take several people to move his 70-inch TV and other equipment.

As for the tattoo and piercing offer, he says, “I’d do that in a heartbeat.

That offer is good.”

cally awarded to the lowest bid, a factor that limits the amount of money a contractor can make. As a result, bid-winners don’t always assign their top people to those jobs.

Himanshu Sareen, CEO of Icreon Tech, a New York-based web and mobile design and development firm, says the government has made some progress fixing the site in recent weeks, but there are still big problems. He worries that the website is operating at half the capacity that it needs to.

Indeed, fewer than

“If they ultimately get the website working, it’ll just be another thing that people who want it to fail will bring up. I don’t think this story has legs beyond that.”

Wally Krantz Creative director for The Brand Union 27,000 people signed up for insurance through the federal website during the first month of open enrollment in the 36 states, according to federal health officials. Nearly 1 million more applied for coverage and were waiting to finalize decisions.

Sareen says he’s shocked that so few people have been able to sign up. He says the government should focus on fixing the website’s telephone support centers,

the place where many frustrated insurance seekers are looking for help.

Michael Smith, a vice president of product development and operations for Compuware Corp., says the site’s operations have improved significantly. Recent testing of HealthCare.gov’s visible parts done by Compuware APM show seven states with unacceptable response times, down from 26 states on Oct. 25.

Even so, Smith says

the government needs to inform the public that it takes time and patience to fix problem websites.

“They’re building something that’s never been built before, so there’s no prescription for how to do it,” Smith says.

And there’s no better way to improve public opinion than to fix the site as quickly as possible, says Wally Krantz, creative director for The Brand Union, a global brand strategy consultancy that works with clients ranging from Time Warner Cable to The Coca-Cola Co. Krantz says people will forget about its technical problems once they get their insurance coverage.

“If they ultimately get the website working, it’ll just be another thing that people who want it to fail will bring up,” Krantz says.

“I don’t think this story has legs beyond that.”

Congress honors American Indian code talkers

BY HENRY C. JACKSON Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For decades, the wartime service of 96-year-old Edmond Harjo and other American Indian â&#x20AC;&#x153;code talkersâ&#x20AC;? was something that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even officially acknowledged, let alone publically recognized.

But on Wednesday, Harjo sat in the Capitolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emancipation Hall soaking in a standing ovation from hundreds of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after an introduction from House Speaker John Boehner.

Harjo, a member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, is one of the last surviving members of a group of American Indians who used their native language to outwit the enemy and protect U.S. battlefield communications during World Wars I and II. In a ceremony Wednesday, congressional leaders formally awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to American Indians known as code talkers hon-

oring the service of 33 tribes.

From his seat, Lyle Cook watched the applause for Harjo and a procession of speeches proudly, with a lump in his throat.

Cook is a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux in South Dakota. He said all he could think about were members of his tribe who served in World Wars I and II but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live to receive the formal recognition that has been more than 70 years in coming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is wonderful, but it is a bittersweet moment,â&#x20AC;? said Cook, 52, an Army veteran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish they were here.â&#x20AC;?

Code talkers were represented Wednesday by tribal delegations, many in traditional dress, who packed Emancipation Hall.

They represented 33 tribes from states including Arizona, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Members of American Indi-

an tribes heroically exchanged sensitive military information by speaking to each other in their native tongues on the battlefield, eluding enemies trying to break U.S. military codes and dramatically speeding up the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to communicate.

Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., said the critical World War II battle of Iwo Jima would have been a far longer, and bloodier, engagement had it not been for the composed work of American Indians during the conflict. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over 800 battle field communications went out with perfect accuracy,â&#x20AC;? Kind said of Iwo Jima. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It led to a quicker end to that conflict and it saved lives.â&#x20AC;?

Their distinctive work during both world wars went unrecognized for decades in part because the military, which wanted to maintain its advantage, only declassified the program in 1968. Since then, formal recognition of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impor-

tance has come slowly.

Congress awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to Navajo code talkers in 2000, then recognized others in 2008. But lawmakers from South Dakota, Oklahoma and other states have long pressed for more tribes to be formally recognized for their wartime contributions.

Speaking Wednesday, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spent more than 10 years pursuing more acknowledgment and was grateful to finally bring attention to groups that have studiously avoided publicity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These men did not seek the limelight,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there is no question that their contributions were unparalleled.â&#x20AC;?

One by one on Wednesday, members of Congress came to the stage to praise the bravery of the code talkers, some as young as 15 years old, who volunteered to serve on battlefields in Europe and Asia. They

credited them with saving thousands of lives, and praised their abiding sense of patriotism.

Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said the code talkers served bravely, behind enemy lines, even though they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;often barred from full participation in American life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They saved lives and they won battles,â&#x20AC;? said Cole, himself a member of the Chickasaw Nation.

Boehner told the story of two American Indians, serving in the European theater, who did not know each other. They began to speak a tribal language to each other and their commanding officer overheard them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He immediately put them to work on opposite ends of a radio,â&#x20AC;? Boehner said.

As speakers finished their remarks, Boehner called representatives of the 33 tribes to the stage to receive their medals.

The crowd delivered a thunderous standing ovation.

Gen. John Dunlap Stevenson charge as brigade commander. They hopped on a train and made it as far as Bethel where they met up with more troops and division commander, Brig. Gen. James B. McPherson.

The relief column made it to Corinth on October 4th a few hours after the battle had ended. The following morning, however, they led the Union pursuit of Van Dorn’s retreating army. Late in the afternoon they came upon Col. John S. Bowen’s Confederate brigade at Young’s Bridge on the Tuscumbia River. There was a nasty little fight, the last engagement of the Corinth Campaign. Three weeks later John was a brigadier general.

Stevenson and his men returned to Jackson, but not for long. From November through the following July they were involved with all of the operations of Grant’s campaign to take Vicksburg. His attack against the Confederate left flank at the Battle of Champion Hill was considered the key to the Union victory.

Not long after Vicksburg fell Stevenson was

given the reins to a reinforced division and was sent on a successful expedition to Monroe, Louisiana. Again, he did well and at the end of this assignment he was slated for duty at Corinth.

It was the 12th of December 1863 and the city welcomed Gen. Stevenson, the final garrison commander of the District of Corinth. John was busy directing a number of major cavalry expeditions out of Camp Davies, but the truth was, Corinth was about to drop off the military map.

Gen. William T. Sherman was preparing for his upcoming Meridian Campaign and a part of the plan was to shut down Corinth and use all of the garrison troops elsewhere. The city was no longer the strategically important rail hub it had once been and was scheduled to be abandoned by the North.

Before that could happen there was a lot of work to be done.

First, the Contraband Camp had to be emptied of its residents and sent to a new camp in Memphis.

Most of the folks at the

camp were the families of the men serving in the 55th and 110th U.S.C.T. Their goods were carted to the railroad depot and trains sped them on their way to a camp that was every bit as nasty and squalid as Corinth had been organized.

Then work crews were sent to all of the outlying camps to salvage as much lumber as they could and haul it to the trains. The Contraband Camp, Camp Davies, Camp Montgomery, Camp Robinett; they all came down. Anything that could not be hauled off was burned. The prison stockade around the Methodist Church could not be dismantled and both went up in flames.

On the 25th of January the last of the Union troops headed west to Memphis. But not General Stevenson; he was sent east to Decatur, Alabama.

There was a massive build-up of troops and supplies occurring in Chattanooga in preparation for the spring offensive into Georgia. Men and materials passed through Decatur in large numbers and it was John’s job to keep the Confederate cavalry away and the railroad tracks open. John waited patiently for his own orders to report to Chattanooga and a combat assignment, orders that never came.

Apparently John had a falling out with General Sherman who was passing out the assignments for the upcoming expedition. He believed he had been slighted and in April of ’64 resigned his commission and left the army.

He was not destined to stay a civilian for long.

In August there was a chance meeting with Lieutenant General Grant in the lobby of Willard’s Hotel in Washington.

Grant had a great deal of respect for the Missouri lawyer and within days John was reinstated as a brigadier general with orders to command the

District of Harper’s Ferry.

It was a real plum of an assignment. Harper’s Ferry was at the lower (northern) end of the Shenandoah Valley and was the hub and base of operations for General Sheridan’s campaign to take the strategic valley. Though it was not a combat assignment, John was immersed in the operations and played a key role in the eventual Union victory.

The end of the war found him in North Georgia where he administered the early operations of Reconstruction in the area.

In 1866 his talents were recognized when the down-sized military appointed him Colonel in the Regular Army and set him at the head of the 30th U.S. Infantry. It was a true statement of his abilities as a soldier since most of the good jobs in the post-war army went to West Pointers.

John retired in 1871 with the rank of brigadier and returned to his law practice in St. Louis.

He held a number of minor public positions and passed away in 1897 with his beloved Hannah and two of his children by his side.

Seeing as he was the last Union commander in Corinth it might be easy to blame him for the burning of the Corona College.

You could never convince me he was responsible.

Corinth resident W.E. Small told how the college was set afire hours after the Federals had pulled out of town. It was undoubtedly some random act of violence rather than a military order.

His obituary read, “His heart was tender and loving, and the tear drops that would trickle down his weather-worn cheeks when recounting the pathetic incidents of the war told of qualities rarely manifested in the ordinary relations of life.”

Rest well General.

Questions remain over Lincoln’s exact words

BY ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer

It was the biggest assignment of Joseph Ignatius Gilbert’s journalistic career — and he was in serious danger of blowing it.

On Nov. 19, 1863, the 21-year-old Associated Press freelancer was standing before a “rude platform” overlooking the still-ravaged battlefield at Gettysburg, Pa. Towering above him was an almost mythic figure: Abraham Lincoln.

By this time, Gilbert had been covering the president for two and a half long years of civil war. Three months earlier, he had written a dispatch about the Union rout of Gen. George Pickett from this very field, an event often called the “high-water mark of the Confederacy.”

Lincoln had come to dedicate a portion of the battlefield — still strewn with equipment, clothing and horse skeletons — as a national cemetery.

Gilbert was dutifully taking down the president’s words in shorthand when something uncharacteristic happened.

He became star-struck.

“Fascinated by Lincoln’s intense earnestness and depth of feeling, I unconsciously stopped taking notes,” he would recall decades later, “and looked up at him just as he glanced from his manuscript with a faraway look in his eyes as if appealing from the few thousands before him to the invisible audience of countless millions whom his words were to reach.”

Luckily for Gilbert, Lincoln graciously allowed his text to be copied while the ceremonies concluded. And “the press report was made from the copy,” the AP man noted.

Brief as Lincoln’s speech was, many newspaper reports paraphrased or outright butchered it. In his new book, “Writing the Gettysburg Address,” Martin P. Johnson argues

that the fledgling “wire service” played a key role in ensuring that most Americans experienced the true power and poetry of their president’s words at a time when he desperately wanted to reach them.

“The Gettysburg Address was not necessarily going to be an important text, if the first version published had been such a truncated version,” he says.

But 150 years later, the debate continues over exactly what Lincoln said that day — and why it matters.

“Four score and seven years ago ...”

The speech contains about 250 words. Today, a listener with a smartphone could polish it off in 10 tweets or simply post the raw video on YouTube.

But a century and a half ago, the news medium was a reporter taking notes with a pencil, most likely in shorthand.

Once finished, he would race to a telegraph office and hand over his dispatch to an operator, who would tap it out in Morse code. The story would travel to a newspaper office, where the series of dots and dashes were deciphered, then set in lead type.

For a great many papers, the source of that text was the AP, and its “agents” — men like Gilbert.

The goateed Gilbert was a “shorthand novice” in the state Senate at Harrisburg on Feb. 22, 1861, when he first heard the new president speak in the Pennsylvania capital.

His dispatches appeared in the city’s Evening Telegraph. As he moved on to The Philadelphia Press and AP, the young scribe would have other opportunities to report on “the care worn President whose shoulders, Atlaslike, were carrying the pillars of the Republic.”

So Gilbert was an old

hand at covering Lincoln when he joined the throngs assembling on Cemetery Hill in the fall of 1863.

“The battlefield, on that sombre autumn day, was enveloped in gloom,” he wrote in a paper delivered at the 1917 convention of the National Shorthand Reporters’ Association in Cleveland. “Nature seemed to veil her face in sorrow for the awful tragedy enacted there.”

Lincoln was not even the keynote speaker that day; that honor fell to former U.S. Sen. Edward Everett, who spoke for two hours. Lincoln’s address lasted barely two minutes.

There are five known drafts of the speech in Lincoln’s own handwriting, each different from the other in some subtle or not-so-subtle way. The last, penned in March 1864, is the version chiseled in marble on the Lincoln Memorial.

In 1894, Lincoln’s per-

sonal secretary, John Nicolay, published what he called “the autograph manuscript” of the Gettysburg Address. The first page was written in pen on lined stationery marked “Executive Mansion”; the second is in pencil on bluish foolscap.

Johnson, an assistant history professor at Miami University in Ohio, concludes that this is the delivery or “battlefield draft” Lincoln pulled from his coat on the platform that day. John R. Sellers, retired curator of Civil War papers at the Library of Congress, which recently put the pages on display, agrees.

But historian Gabor Boritt, author of “The Gettysburg Gospel,” argues that a version discovered in 1908 among the papers of John M. Hay, Lincoln’s assistant secretary, is the one from which the president read.

This Week in the Civil War Union scales Lookout Mountain in Battle above the Clouds 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.

This week 150 years ago in the Civil War, Union troops scaled Lookout Mountain southwest of federally held Chattanooga, Tenn., and ousted Confederates dug in with artillery on the

heights.

The attack by nearly 12,000 Union soldiers drove the Confederates off the mountaintop overlooking Chattanooga, effectively ending a siege of Union forces holding the city below.

Fog covered the Union forces as they went up the 1,700-foot mountainside, aiding their offensive in what later would became known as “The Battle

Above the Clouds.” By late in the day on Nov. 24, 1863, Confederates under pressure of the Union offensive abandoned their artillery posts atop the summit and withdrew.

A day later, Union forces would definitively break the Confederate siege lines ringing Chattanooga with another withering offensive, this one aimed at another height called Missionary Ridge.

Burnett, Downey take ‘The Bible’ music on the road

BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s “The Bible” franchise continues to grow in unexpected ways.

Up next? A 16-city music tour featuring some of today’s most popular Christian acts.

The tour begins next March following the nationwide theatrical release of “The Bible” companion film “Son of God,” and will feature music inspired by and visual components from the movie and miniseries.

“I think that music just has such a wonderful ability to connect and open your heart and the images from our film certainly are going to touch your heart,” Downey said. “So I think it’s just going to be a really beautiful, heartfelt experience all around for people to attend.”

Attend they will, if previous reaction to “The Bible” continues to hold true.

The five-part History miniseries was one of the surprise hits of 2013, averaging 11 million viewers for each episode last

spring in the U.S. Burnett and Downey have been rolling it out overseas as well — it’s playing in Hong Kong now and the United Kingdom is up next.

“It has continued to ripple — splash really — around the world,” Downey said as the couple spoke publicly about the music tour for the first time Thursday by conference call. Burnett, producer of “The Voice,” ‘‘Survivor” and other reality shows, was in Cleveland, Ohio, and actress Downey was in Boston. Both were screening “Son of God” for

local religious and business leaders, looking to get support for the film before it opens Feb. 28. They plan to hit several more cities, and trailers for the movie will begin running in theaters next week.

The film comprises previously aired material from “The Bible” intercut with new scenes shot concurrently with the miniseries in Morocco in 2012.

The couple said they heard a calling from God to make the miniseries, and the franchise continues to take more and more of their lives. That’s some-

thing their friend, Pastor Rick Warren, warned them about.

“Rick Warren said to me and Roma, ‘You know one of the most dangerous prayers that you can pray is, ‘Use me,’ because he will,’” Burnett said.

“And we can see how that played out in our lives,” Downey said.

“We’ve been working for God ever since.”

The music tour will open March 20 at Warren’s Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., and will conclude April 13 in Baltimore. Francesca Bat-

tistelli, Sidewalk Prophets, Natalie Grant, Chris August, Meredith Andrews and Jason Gray will perform. Most of the concerts will be held at super churches and will include scenes from “The Bible” and “Son of God” mingled with photos of religious art and artifacts along with the music.

“This has been a labor of love for us,” Downey said. “We didn’t need a job when we took this on. ... It’s a combination of everything we love, everything we believe — and we get to do it together.”

Wisconsin collector puts rare comics on the auction block

BY TODD RICHMOND Associated Press

STEVENS POINT, Wis. — Holy auction block, Batman!

Comic book collector and industry legend Mag-

gie Thompson of Wisconsin has decided to put some 500 pieces of her personal collection up for auction over the next few months. Nearly 90 issues went on the block Thurs-

Cryptoquip

Crossword

day, including the first issue of “The Avengers,” ‘‘Journey Into Mystery” No. 83, which features the first appearance of Thor, and the first issue of “The Incredible Hulk.”

News of the auction has comic lovers’ wallets tingling. The books are in exceptional condition; auctioneers expect the total collection could easily fetch $1 million by the time sales wrap up next year.

Comic book collections going for $1 million aren’t unheard of, said J.C. Vaughn, vice president of publishing for Gemstone Publishing, which produces a comic book pricing guide. But it’s rare to find books from such a respected collector and in such good condition, he said.

“What is unique is to get a pedigree collection from somebody of Maggie’s stature within the industry,” Vaughn said.

Thompson, 70, has been collecting comic books since she was a girl in the 1940s. She married another comic book collector, Don Thompson, in 1962. Twenty years later they left Ohio, where Don Thompson had worked as a reporter, for Wisconsin to take over editing duties for an industry magazine, Comics Buyer’s Guide.

They spent years working on the magazine. It grew into a paper-and-ink equivalent of a Facebook page, connecting comic fans, distributors, writers and artists across the country.

Don Thompson died in 1994, and CBG folded in January. But Maggie Thompson is still as sharp as Wolverine’s claws. She blogs about industry happenings and can talk for hours about how comics have evolved from something parents abhorred to a part of mainstream culture.

“Everybody knows, ‘With great power comes

great responsibility.’ They (even) have opinions on Loki!” she said, referring to Spider-Man’s catchphrase philosophy and Thor’s evil adopted brother, who has grown into one of the most popular comics villains after he was featured in the “Thor” and “Avengers” movies.

She doesn’t know exactly how many comic books she has but estimates it’s tens of thousands. She used money from selling “Amazing Fantasy” No. 15, the first appearance of Spider-Man, and the first 100 issues of “The Amazing Spider-Man,” to build a vault-like storage addition on her home east of Stevens Point.

Employees with Dallas-based Heritage Auction took 524 items from her collection in October. The auction house plans to sell them off in waves. Live and online bidding on the first 86 issues started Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif. By the end of the day all 86 issues had sold, netting a total of $784,148. “The Avengers” No. 1 went for $89,625; “Journey Into Mystery” No. 83 sold for $77,675; and “The Incredible Hulk” No. 1 went for $58,256.

The last item in the first wave, the original cover art for the fourth issue of “Conan the Barbarian,” was slated to go on the block Friday. It has already earned a $59,000 bid online.

“You almost never see (a collection) with this type of, basically, love behind it,” said Mike Zapcic, assistant manager at Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash comic book shop and one of the stars of AMC’s “Comic Book Men.”

“She wrote the book on collecting. She knew what to do with them. Even if she pulled them out every five years to read them, they’ve been read maybe five times. Not a lot of wear and tear on these things,” he said.

Thompson isn’t going to part with the stories she loves completely. The auction house has agreed to sell her lower-grade copies of the issues she’s giving up. She wants to read them and use them for research without worrying about damaging them, she said. Selling “Journey Into Mystery” No. 83 at $80,000, for example, would give her enough money to purchase that series’ entire run at a lower grade, Steve Borock, the auction house’s consignment director, said.

But she also wants to pay off a new car, perhaps remodel her kitchen, build a bigger retirement nest egg and care for her grandchildren, she said.

And she’s not sentimental about it.

“We are all temporary custodians,” she said.

“Until they work out that eternal life, fountain-ofyouth thing, we only get to hold it for a little while.

We get to hang it on the wall and say, ‘Oh, that’s fun.’”

Thompson’s daughter, Valerie Thompson, said she was shocked to hear her mother was selling her comics. She said it’s about more than money.

“She’s now in a place where she’s comfortable passing them on to the next generation,” she said. “She’s 70 at this point. Dad died 20 years ago. It’s for the next generation of collectors to treasure these things.”

Different versions either include or omit the word “poor” in “far above our poor power to add or detract.”

“Poor” is missing from the Tribune version, Boritt notes. It’s included in the story published in the Philadelphia North American, which to Johnson “appears to be the closest approximation of the AP version as it was telegraphed from Gettysburg on the day of the speech.”

Unfortunately, Gilbert’s personal account only muddies the waters. In the wire dispatches, the text is interrupted six times to note applause. But in 1917, Gilbert remembered no “tumultuous outbursts of enthusiasm accompanying the President’s utterances,” adding the cemetery was “not the place for it.”

Boritt, director emeritus of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College, has concluded the recollection of the AP man, who died in 1924, “needs to be taken with a grain of salt.”

In the end, does it really matter whether Lincoln said “the government” or just “government?” It certainly did to him.

“The exact words are

important because they clearly reveal Lincoln’s thinking about the importance of the Civil War and the world historical importance of the struggle that he was engaged in,” says Johnson. “He was very clear about wanting to get the words correct, precise — because he knew that it was an important point.”

Johnson says it is fortunate that the AP quickly reported the speech at full length.

“We’d probably always have the delivery text, but that might never have been published during Lincoln’s lifetime,” he says. “So the Gettysburg Address might never have become such an important, iconic text for us if the AP had not been there reporting it properly.”

In a paper prepared for Northern Kentucky University’s Six@Six lecture series, archivist Komor suggests that Gilbert’s greatest contribution to our understanding of the speech is perhaps his recollection of how Lincoln delivered the final lines: “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

LINCOLN CONTINUED FROM 1B

portant difference among the address’s various permutations is the presence or absence of the phrase “under God.” Those words do not appear in either the Nicolay or Hay drafts, but they are present in the three other handwritten copieS..

They also appear in dispatches sent by Gilbert and shorthand stenographer Charles Hale, who was there for the Boston Daily Advertiser, leading Johnson, Boritt and others to conclude that Lincoln added them extemporaneously.

Lincoln told his good friend, Kentuckian James Speed, that he continued to work on the speech after arriving in Gettysburg and had not had time to memorize it. He also acknowledged that he did not stick to the script in his hand.

Due to “inevitable telegraphic variations,” says Johnson, there were almost as many versions in circulation “as there were newspapers that printed them.” No definitive “wire copy” survives in AP files, says company archivist Valerie Komor.
