2013 Christmas Basket Fund “A Community Tradition”

Basket fund tops $11,000 The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as generous donations are arriving daily for the 18th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian 2013 Christmas Basket Fund. The civic club and newspaper have set a $25,000 community fundraising goal this year so 1,000 food baskets could be given away to local families on Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Crossroads Arena. Baskets were given on faith and hope the goal will be reached. The total increased to $11,370 after the most recent donations arrived. They are $100 from Mr. & Mrs. James L. Jones; $50 from the Christian Crusaders Sunday School class at Waldron Street Christian Church; $200 from Peggy Gardner in memory of Jimmy Gardner; $100 from Handy-Man Rentals; $100 from Winston and Genida Whitfield in memory of Please see BASKET | 3A

Adopt-a-Truck fees increased BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The city is raising its fee for the Adopt-a-Truck program, which makes a truck available to residents for discarding large amounts of trash and debris. A 2-ton truck will be available for $75. One-ton trucks will no longer be offered. The Board of Aldermen approved the new fee on Dec. 3, and it becomes effective 30 days later because it is part of an ordinance that must be published. The old fees were $30 for a 1-ton truck and $40 for a 2-ton truck. Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said the increase is a result of changes at the county transfer station, which is now managed by Waste Connections. “The tipping fees have gone up significantly,” he said. “We need to increase our fees to cover our costs.” The 1-ton rental is being discontinued because citizens rarely requested the smaller truck. Verdung couldn’t recall a 1-ton truck being used through the program in the past year. The program is intended to help citizens tackle large cleanup projects, such as working on Please see ADOPT | 3A

Hearing set on ward changes BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Citizens will have an opportunity to comment on Corinth’s ward redistricting this week. The public hearing on the proposed new boundaries of the five wards is set for 5 p.m. Tuesday during a regular

meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Census 2010 results showed a 13.7 percent population variance between the most and least populous wards. The proposal reduces the difference to 7.8 percent with some boundary shifts that the city has de-

scribed as minimal. The largest proposed shift will move the boundary between wards 2 and 5 west from Highway 45 to Forest School Road, with ward 5 taking in the 84 residents between those roads. Ward 5 also would take 21 from Ward 2 with the ward

line moving east from Maple Road to Willow Road south of Magnolia. Ward 5 would go from a population of 2,760 to 2,973. Ward 2 would go from 3,160 to 3,088. Ward 1, at 2,862, and Please see HEARING | 2A

Living Free returns ‘Crossroads Christmas’ BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

An old-fashioned “Crossroads Christmas” will be held on Christmas Day at the Living Free Ministries building in Corinth. Marea and Tommy Wilson will host the family celebration with everyone invited

to join them. The day will begin at 11 a.m. and will end at 4 p.m. There will be a traditional holiday meal with turkey, dressing and home-cooked desserts. “We had such a great time with this last year and we wanted to share Christmas Day with

everyone again this year,” said Marea Wilson. “Tommy and I really did not know how many people to expect last year and we were pleasantly surprised to have over 300 come to eat Christmas lunch with us.” Wilson said there were people in line to get into the Living

Free building last year prior to 11 a.m. and some stayed all day to visit with the others at the lunch. The meal is free. “I remember one man brought his newspaper at 10:30 a.m. and he spent the Please see MINISTRY | 2A

Santa Claus brings smiles to ACHS BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Laughter and children chewing on candy canes filled the lobby at Alcorn Central High School. Christmas is only two weeks away and Santa Claus was at the school to talk with children of all ages before making his annual trip on Dec. 24. St. Nick, who also brought along Mrs. Claus, also took time out for a photo shoot with students and others in the community. For a second straight year, Fellowship of Christian Athletes sponsors are using proceeds from their “Pictures with Santa” to help with the Toy Store of the Lighthouse Foundation. A portion of what is taken in will also be put in a club scholarship fund.

have their photos taken with Santa Claus. “You never forget days like this.” Students received a print of

their photo with Santa for only $5. Please see SANTA | 2A

Corinth artist takes leap into children’s books BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

“Cartoonish” is not a word that springs to mind when looking at the detailed historical paintings of Corinth artist Tony Bullard. But his latest work is something from the lighter side. He will sign copies of “Froggy the Froggy Gets Lost” — a children’s book first begun 16 years ago — on Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Taylor’s Escape. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Corinth-Alcorn County Special Needs Group’s next trip to Disney World. Pictures with Santa will also be part of the event at a cost of $10, also benefiting the trip. In contrast to the scenes of old Corinth he is known for today, “Back in the ‘80s, I had a

passion for wanting to do cartoon work,” said Bullard. “I’ve come up with a lot of characters over the years.” At a time when he was conceiving ideas for board games

and other toys, Bullard’s new “Bedtime Pals” series was inspired by a trip to Las Vegas in 1997 to attend the Toy and Game Inventor’s Forum sponsored by Rhetmeyer Toy Design and Licensing. “Back in ’93, I was doing all these oil paintings and got literally burnt out,” he said. “I just didn’t want to paint, and I totally changed my focus. I started writing songs and tried to come up with original toys and games. When I got off work, in my spare time, I worked on these and sent them to toy agencies.” After rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers of the industry in Las Vegas, he started on the Bedtime Pals concept. “The idea was to have a

stuffed animal character in each one, and the storybook would be included with the animal,” said Bullard. After losing patience with efforts to break into the toy industry, he stopped work on the idea, which he recently resurrected. He touched up and enhanced the artwork and already has the character for book two — a bear — drawn and ready to go. The first story focuses on Froggy and Starbright the firefly helping each other. “I wanted to do something very clean that would have a moral message to it for kids,” said Bullard. “There’s so much junk in the cartoons now.” His most recent oil paintings Please see BULLARD | 3A

day with us,” she commented. “That is what we really wanted was to give people a place to go on Christmas Day to be with others.” An idea to have Christmas movies playing during the afternoon gave people a reason to hang around after their meal. The plan is to have movies again this year for something to do after lunch. Wilson pointed out how last year’s meal was such a “God thing” with enough food provided for everyone who came to eat last year. “It seemed that every time we would run out of dressing, someone would bring another pan through the door,” said Marea. “It was the neatest thing to see because we never ran out of food and even had a little food left over at the end of the day.”

Wilson did ask for home-made desserts to make it seem more like a regular family meal. A few people have told her that they will make an extra dessert and bring it for the holiday meal. The motivation behind the day is to give back to the community and to make sure that no one is lonely on Christmas Day. “A lot of people may have their family Christmas on the weekend prior to Christmas Day and we want to give them something to do with other people in the community,” said Marea. (If anyone would like to volunteer to help with the Living Free Christmas Day event, call Tommy or Marea at 662-287-5394 or by e-mail at livingfreeministries@hotmail.com. Living Free’s building is located off U.S. 72 behind Magnolia Funeral Home.)

“I think this is such a great service since a lot of children wouldn’t normally get to see Santa,” said Foster. This year, sponsors opened the event also to the community. “Mothers have been bringing in their children since this morning,” added the FCA sponsor. According to Foster, “Photos with Santa” is going to be an annual event at the school.

“Children are God’s greatest gift,” she said. “We all do what we do here because we love kids.” Close to 40 ACHS students jumped in to help with some even dressing as elves. “Our kids love doing things like this,” said Katriena Burgess, who helped coordinate the event along with Twila Bridges and Foster. “This is something they really get behind.” Santa’s helpers, Marvin and Sheryl Ratliff from Morris Chapel, Tenn., both donated their services to help with the project.

Agenda set for supervisors meeting

Today in history

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors will hold a regular meeting at 9 a.m. Monday at the supervisors’ office on Fulton Drive. The agenda includes the following items of business: ■ Call to order and prayer by Bro. Carrol Talley, pastor of Brush Creek Baptist Church ■ Approval of Dec. 2 meeting minutes ■ Financial report and claims, Dec. 2 - Dec. 16 ■ Sandra Davis and Bobby Russell regarding the animal shelter ■ Presentation by Therray Taylor, director of Alcorn Industries ■ Bid opening on surplus 1998 Trailstar Trailer ■ Bid opening on surplus 1997 Barko 160A knuckle boom loader with grapple mounted on Pitts trailer ■ Warden Doug Mullins ■ Notification from Office of State

Today is Sunday, Dec. 15, the 349th day of 2013. There are 16 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 15, 1938, groundbreaking for the Jefferson Memorial took place in Washington, D.C. with President Franklin D. Roosevelt taking part in the ceremony.

On this date: In 1791, the Bill of Rights went into effect following ratification by Virginia. In 1890, Sioux Indian Chief Sitting Bull and 11 other tribe members were killed in Grand River, S.D., during a confrontation with Indian police. In 1893, Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95, “From the New World,” was rehearsed before the public at New York’s Carnegie Hall (the official world premiere was held the next day). In 1944, a single-engine plane carrying bandleader Glenn Miller, a major in the U.S. Army Air Forces, disappeared over the English Channel while en route to Paris. American forces invaded Mindoro Island in the Philippines. In 1961, former Nazi official Adolf Eichmann was sentenced to death by an Israeli court for crimes against humanity. (Eichmann was hanged 5 months later.) In 1962, the Vail Mountain ski resort in Colorado officially opened. Actor-director Charles Laughton died in Los Angeles at age 63. In 1965, two U.S. manned spacecraft, Gemini 6A and Gemini 7, maneuvered to within 10 feet of each other while in orbit. In 1971, the Secret Service appointed its first five female special agents. In 1989, a popular uprising began in Romania that resulted in the downfall of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. In 1991, an Egyptian-registered ferry, the Salem Express, hit a reef and sank in the Red Sea; at least 470 people died, although some estimates are much higher. In 1993, U.S. Defense Secretary Les Aspin announced his resignation, citing “personal reasons.” In 2001, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy, was reopened to the public after a $27 million realignment that had dragged on for over a decade.

Corinth, Miss.

Chocola’s right, earmark facts should be on the table In response to my recent column on Club for Growth’s attempt to define Mississippi’s 2014 U.S. Senate campaign as one that should focus on the question of earmarks, the group’s president released a column entitled: “Salter attack on Club for Growth lacked all the facts.” Club for Growth’s president, former Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Chocola, offered the column in response to my prior column outlining how much Mississippi had benefitted from congressionally directed federal spending on public education, public health and safety, transportation inSid Salter frastructure, the national defense, research, and quality of Columnist life issues like water and sewer projects. My column also pointed out that earmarks represent less than one percent of total federal spending and the incumbent Mississippi U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran has defended his prior earmarks by stating his concerns over allowing the White House and Washington bureaucrats to make decisions about funding worthy Mississippi public works projects without congressional input. In response, Rep. Chocola said in part: “Probably the most well-known example of a wasteful earmark is the infamous $400 million ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ in Alaska, which connected an island of 50 people to mainland Alaska. Not only did Senator Cochran vote for the bill that contained the Bridge, but while he was chairman of the Appropriations Committee he also voted against an amendment offered by Senator Tom Coburn that would have cut funding for the Alaskan bridge and shifted that funding to Louisiana to repair a bridge damaged by Hurricane Katrina. I’ll leave it to Mississippians to decide what was more important – the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska or repairs after Hurricane Katrina in neighboring Louisiana.” I agree with Rep. Chocola that “all the facts” about earmarks should be on the table since Club for Growth and the primarily outof-state billionaires who financially back the group is choosing to focus on this issue. So in the interest of putting forth facts, let’s start here – first and foremost, no single member of Congress did more to provide relief from Hurricane Katrina than Cochran. Second, while a member of Congress in 2005, Rep. Chocola voted for the same “Bridge to Nowhere” appropriations bill that he and his group now castigate Cochran for supporting. The Congressional Record also reflects that Chocola was a fan of earmarks for universities. He brought home congressionally directed funding for Notre Dame University. Called to defend those Notre Dame earmarks in his own state and district, Chocola told BizVoice Magazine in 2006: “The bottom line is not only defending your earmarks but arguing that most of the earmarks that are requested, if they are taken out, they will really not reduce spending. That money will be spent anyway, and it will be spent in an arbitrary formula or by some bureaucrat either in Indianapolis or in Washington D.C.” Facts? Here are the facts. As a congressman, Club for Growth’s Chris Chocola supported some of the same earmarks he now criticizes Thad Cochran for supporting, including funds for universities. Challenged about the obvious contradictions between the Club for Growth’s views he champions and his own congressional record by the Indiana press, Chocola has pithily said that “the world has changed.” Apparently, he would have us believe that the earmarks that were good for Indiana in 2006 have become bad for Mississippi in 2013. My original contention, and one that I still believe to be true, is that virtually every public entity in Mississippi has benefitted directly or indirectly from congressionally directed federal spending. The alternative is that the White House Office of Management and Budget or partisan political appointees make the discretionary decisions about such spending rather than the individual members of Mississippi’s congressional delegation – just as Rep. Chocola said back in 2006. Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him at sidsalter@sidsalter.com.

Prayer for today My Father, may I remember that the days of my life that I give over to grief can never be reclaimed. Help me that I may not want to keep sorrow in my life, but with faith may I believe that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Amen.

A verse to share “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” — Isaiah 7:14

The false problem of income inequality In a December 4 speech, President Obama declared income “inequality” to be “the defining challenge of our time.” It is time for me to come clean; to own up to a dark secret I have been hiding most of my life. It is embarrassing to admit it, but I suffer from income inequality. Yes, there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people who make more money than I do and it has affected my life in ways too numerous to recount. Starting with my first summer job as a bellhop and kitchen worker at a hotel in Maine when I was 14, I kept records of the amount of money I earned. The ledger records that on a really good day I made as much as $8 in tips. The hotel owner paid me a salary of $20 a week, but included a small room in the basement and all the food I could eat. He made more money than I did. In the early ‘60s, as a copyboy at NBC News in Washington, my take-home pay was less than $100 a week. Everyone else, including, I suspect, the janitor, made more than I did. When I finally got on

the air as a broadcast journalist, my NBC check stubs were far less than the Cal w i t h h o l d Thomas ing on David Brinkley’s Columnist paycheck. I still bear the scars from this income “inequality.” When I was 37 I made $25,000 a year and took public transportation to and from work. Many others, including most of the people I interviewed, made far more money than I did. Some of them had cars and drivers to squire them around Washington. Was it “fair” that these people were richer than I was? Absolutely, as long as I had the opportunity through education, risktaking, experience and hard work to eventually make more. President Obama and some leaders in the Democratic Party appear to want us to accept a false premise: that if I earn more money than you, I “owe” you some of my money to make things

“fair.” This might be true if the amount of money available were fixed, but it is not. The communist philosophy is similar to this way of thinking: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” is the slogan popularized by Karl Marx. In other words, mutually-shared poverty with just enough to barely sustain everyone, not an avenue out of poverty with hope as the mode of transportation, hard work as the fuel and success as the destination. Income “inequality” is a part of the greed-envyentitlement philosophy promoted by liberals who want to addict more people to government and entice them to vote for the party that is effectively buying their loyalty. And now they want to extend the 99-week limit for unemployment benefits, which has the potential to enable those people who are unwilling to look for a job. Today, we have a tendency to punish the successful and subsidize the unsuccessful. It used to be the reverse, which motivated more people to become, if not a suc-

cess, then at least self-sustaining. There was a time when Americans would have been ashamed to take, much less ask for, anything from their fellow citizens. If you were able-bodied, asking for help from the government was regarded by a previous generation as moral weakness. Today, the attitude promoted by the income “inequality” crowd is one of victimization. Poor people are told they are victims because successful people have stolen from them what is rightfully theirs. Envy, greed and entitlement are not the things that built America, or sustained her through numerous wars and a Great Depression. The concern should not be how much others make, but how much you can make if you apply yourself and adopt the values embraced by successful people. Those who make what I once earned and think they can never earn more are being told a lie. Realizing this is the first step to improving one’s income and one’s life.

The left has a reality problem The “reality-based community” isn’t what it used to be. Progressives spent much of the George W. Bush years deriding the right for disdaining reality itself and waging an associated “war on science,” such was its purported hostility to evidence. The meme arose from a highhanded blind quote from a Bush senior adviser to journalist Ron Suskind; the adviser said that people in the “realitybased community” underestimated how the United States could alter the state of things through the exercise of its power. The left happily adopted the appellation “realitybased community.” It congratulated itself on its factual rigor and nominated for president a man whose initial appeal was based, in part, on his exquisite sense of nuance. Message: We’re more empirically grounded and intellectually supple than you. The erstwhile realitybased community is having a tough time of it lately, though. Most infamously, Obamacare is foundering on the flagrant deceptions used to sell it, exposed every day by the workings of the law in reality. Many liberals still don’t

want to acknowledge the rather straightforward fact that if you mandate more inRich surance benLowry efits in the so-called AfNational fordable Care Review Act, insurance will cost more. Q.E.D. You might be able to cushion the cost increase for some people with subsidies, but not for everyone, and the underlying insurance is still more — not less — expensive. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote a particularly smug op-ed titled “The Wonk Gap” a couple of months ago, celebrating the left’s lopsided advantage in policy analysis at the same time he poohpoohed and took as a sign of rank ignorance the Republican contention that there would be sticker shock from Obamacare. Krugman must consider it in extremely poor form that his own paper is kowtowing to the ignoramuses by publishing stories on how couples like Mike and Kay Horrigan of North Carolina are faring under the Affordable Care Act: “Mr. Horrigan’s coverage by a

state high-risk insurance program was eliminated, then replaced by a more expensive plan. His wife’s individual plan was canceled for being substandard, then suddenly renewed — also at a higher price.” The deceptions around Obamacare are central -both to the law and to the left’s advocacy generally. So much of liberal policy is based on Affordable Care Act-style thinking, which involves hiding and never acknowledging the costs of a given policy; giving legislation a warm and fuzzy name on the assumption that its results will live up to that label; and moralistic attacks on people who resist as fools and ogres. Every side in a political argument tends to gild the lily, but the acknowledgment of any downside is particularly devastating to liberal presumptions. Liberals are inherently activists on domestic policy, and to make the strongest possible case for action, you need certainty, not nuance; costfree benefits, not painful trade-offs; blissful promises, not unintended consequences. Consider the minimum wage. Rarely do liberals truly grapple with the possibility -- supported by some, but

not all research -- that it suppresses employment. If they did, they would be more cautious about advocating a higher minimum wage in a soft job market, and less scornful of opponents. When Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said the other day that extended unemployment benefits could keep people from searching for a job, he was denounced, literally, as a Scrooge. It doesn’t matter that there is plenty of evidence — some of it once mustered by Alan Krueger, the former head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers — on Paul’s side. He is presumed guilty of a moral failing. The 19th-century laissez-faire thinker William Graham Sumner famously wrote of “the forgotten man” who bears the costs of feel-good economic policy. Sumner said that “he is the man who never is thought of. He is the victim of the reformer, the social speculator, and philanthropist.” The left must always pretend he doesn’t exist -- and excoriate those mindful of him -- even as it prides itself on its robust empiricism.

Newtown bells toll for shooting victims NEWTOWN, Conn. — Bells tolled 26 times to honor the children and educators killed one year ago in a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School as local churches held memorial services Saturday and President Barack Obama observed a moment of silence. With snow falling and homes decorated with Christmas lights, Newtown looked every bit the classic New England town, with a coffee shop and general store doing steady business. But reminders of the private grief were everywhere. “God bless the families,” read a sign posted at one house in

the green and white colors of the Sandy Hook school, and a church posted that it was “open for prayer.” Ryan Knaggs, a chef who lives in Newtown, said that as the bells tolled he thought of two young victims who played soccer with his 7-year-old daughter. “The echo of the bells, knowing some of the children personally, you feel the exactitude with each bell ... the exactitude of the loss and the grief,” Knaggs said. The bells rang 26 times at St. Rose of Lima church in Newtown beginning at 9:30 a.m. — the moment the gunman shot his way into the school on Dec. 14, 2012 — and names of the victims were read over a loudspeaker.

Connecticut’s governor had asked for bells to ring across Connecticut and directed that flags be lowered to half-staff.

Obama honors Sandy Hook victims WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has marked the anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school with a moment of silence at the White House. Before pausing to remember the Connecticut school tragedy a year ago Saturday, the president and first lady Michelle Obama lit 26 votive candles set up on a table in the Map Room — one candle for each of the 20 children and six staff members who were killed.

Hattiesburg jaguar has brief getaway HATTIESBURG — Officials at the Hattiesburg Zoo say a jaguar briefly got out of its main holding area before the zoo opened Saturday. Zoo spokeswoman Christy Fariley said the animal never got outside of a secondary containment area that cannot be accessed by visitors. She said the public was never in danger, although police were notified as part of normal zoo procedures. Employees sedated the animal and returned it safely to its holding area. The zoo has not yet released information on how the jaguar got out of its main holding area.

LEAKESVILLE — Greene County Emergency Management Director Trent Robertson says a 2-year-old child died in a house fire just outside of Leakesville. The fire was reported early Friday. Robertson said that the child was trapped inside when responders arrived. The child’s father suffered unspecified injuries. He was treated at Greene County Hospital before being transferred to the University of South Alabama Burn Center in Mobile. Robertson said the mother and two other children escaped. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Names of the victims

were not available.

School bus drivers to return Monday JACKSON — A strike by school bus drivers in Jackson is ending. A representative of the school transportation employees issued a statement Friday night saying the drivers will return to work Monday. Reasons cited include concerns for the safety of the Jackson school district’s students. About half of the district’s 263 bus drivers have been off the job and protesting since Dec 4. They’re seeking improved pay and better work conditions. Schools Superintendent Cedric Gray had told drivers earlier that he can’t raise their pay.

JACKSON — Attorney General Jim Hood says three Biloxi residents have been arrested and charged with insurance fraud. Hood’s Friday news release said 47-year-old Rosemary Henderson, 38-year-old Lavon Donnell Cherry and 30-year-old Johnny Lewis were arrested Thursday by investigators with the Attorney General’s Insurance Fraud Division. All three defendants were indicted by a Harrison County Grand Jury and face one count each of conspiracy, insurance fraud and wire fraud. The indictment alleges that they schemed to defraud Geico Insurance Company with false injury claims and medical bills from Biloxi Regional Medical Center.

has upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a black custodian who argued he was wrongly accused of stealing a teacher’s cellphone and fired because of his race. The Senatobia Municipal School District had argued George Edwards wasn’t fired because he’s black. The school says he was fired because “video footage placed him at the scene” when the phone disappeared on Aug. 1, 2011. Edwards filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in March 2012. He argued he was wrongly accused of stealing the white teacher’s phone. He also alleges that only black employees were questioned about the missing phone. A federal judge in Mississippi dismissed the lawsuit in May. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in New Orleans on Friday said Edwards failed to present any evidence to show he was treated less favorably than any other employee.

Col. Tracy Trott has announced that the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) has partnered with Mother Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to help raise awareness about the importance of designating a non-drinking driver during holiday celebrations. Colonel Trott was joined by representatives from MADD to announce the patrol’s participation in the “Tie One On For Safety” red ribbon campaign, which is the organization’s signature nationwide public awareness program. Troopers statewide will display the “Tie One On For Safety” red ribbons on all patrol cars. Now in its 27th year, the campaign urges drivers across the country to display MADD red ribbons on their vehicles as a reminder to plan ahead and designate a non-

drinking driver before they go out. “We hope as motorists travel across Tennessee this holiday season, they will see the red ribbons on THP patrol cars and be reminded of our continuous efforts to reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads,” Trott said. “Though we want to encourage this practice every day of the year, we’re here today because drunk driving deaths typically rise over the holidays.” Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve in 2011 (the most recent year for which we have national data), 931 people were killed in drunk driving crashes nationwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That number includes the 28 people who were killed in Tennessee in alcohol-impaired crashes during the 2011

holiday time period. Preliminary data show that 198 people have died in alcohol-impaired crashes in Tennessee this year through December 9. In 2012, a total of 295 people lost their lives in alcohol-impaired crashes; and in 2011 that number was 259. A recent national survey released last month by MADD shows that 73.4 percent of people asked said they had been at an event and witnessed someone try to drive home after drinking too much. The “Tie One On For Safety” red ribbons also signify support for law enforcement officers, who will be out in force as part of the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.

State appeals spending law ruling Associated Press

JACKSON — Attorney General Jim Hood is appealing a federal judge’s ruling that part of Mississippi’s campaign finance law creates an unconstitutional burden for people or groups that spend at least $200 to support or oppose a ballot initiative. The appeal was filed in October in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ruled in September that Mississippi may regulate individuals and groups attempting to influence constitutional ballot measures, but that its “convoluted and exacting” requirements are “too burdensome” with the $200 threshold. When Aycock’s ruling was released, Hood said an appeal ruling could be difficult because federal

courts haven’t been kind to states’ defense of their own campaign finance laws. Aycock’s ruling did not change the part of the campaign finance law that requires candidates for statewide office or legislative seats to file reports disclosing the name, address and occupation of anyone donating at least $200 to their campaigns.

Registration open for fiber to the home C Spire’s initiative to bring ultra-fast 1 Gbps fiber to the home Internet service to Corinth and eight other Mississippi cities has shifted into high gear with the launch of customized web pages that allow thousands of residents in the finalist cities to pre-register for the next generation technology. The company launched the pre-registration phase on December 4 for the nation’s first and only statewide roll out of the 1 Gig service, which promises Internet access up to 100 times faster than national average broadband speeds for residents in each of the nine Mississippi cities in the initial phase. These cities and towns were among 33 municipalities that submitted formal applications in late October to be the first to bring the tech-

nology of tomorrow to their communities today. Residents in Corinth, Batesville, Clinton, Hattiesburg, Horn Lake, McComb, Quitman, Ridgeland and Starkville can now pre-register for the ultra-fast Internet as well as related digital television and home phone services. All nine cities approved franchise agreements with C Spire to pave the way for the start of the pre-registration phase. Individuals will need to make a $10 refundable deposit and provide credit card information when they pre-register on their respective site. The web page for each city also features detailed, interactive maps of fiber hoods showing what percentage of residents need to preregister to turn the area “green” and qualify for build out of the service. There are also progress bars for each fiber hood that will be updated daily to help residents get a “real time” snapshot of their success in getting neighbors, friends and others 662-594-3011 (LISTINGS FOR FRI. 12/13-THUR. 12/19/13) CALL THEATRE OR GO TO MALCO.COM FOR SHOW TIMES

who live nearby to preregister for the service. Registration percentage goals for Corinth’s 3 mega fiber hoods vary between 35 and 45 percent. “As soon as a critical number of neighborhoods have reached their percentage goals in a fiber hood, C Spire plans to begin construction — so there is a possibility that work could commence in more than one community at the same time.” said Gregg Logan, senior vice president of C Spire Fiber. The 1 Gbps Internet access will be available for $80 a month, $100 a month for combined Internet and home phone, $140 a month for Internet and digital TV and $160 a month for the entire package of all three services. C Spire Wireless customers will receive an additional $10 monthly discount on all packages. Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin said the breakthrough technology will boost the city’s prospects now and in the future. “We’re excited about the opportunity to bring ultra-fast Gigabit speed Internet to residents in neighborhoods throughout our city,” Irwin said. “We believe this groundbreaking, next-generation service will help us continue to grow and diversify our economy and bring new high technology jobs to our city and state.” C Spire officials said the finalist cities are entering a critical stage of the initiative where local residents and homeowners will determine where the game-changing services go first. “There’s a tremendous amount of excitement in each of these communities and a strong desire to be among the first to receive the 1 Gig Internet service to the home,” said Hu Meena, president and CEO of

C Spire. “We’re looking forward to bringing tomorrow’s technology to Corinth and these other Mississippi communities today because we know that this service has the power to transform communities into hubs for technology investment and economic growth.” To help the cities better prepare for the next phase of the “Get Fiber First” Challenge, C Spire staff participated in a series of town hall meetings in late November with government, community and business leaders who are rallying their respective towns to quickly preregister homeowners in designated “fiber hoods” at percentage levels that will qualify them to be among the first to receive the services. Company representatives shared details on plans, pricing, service package options, the preregistration process and the economic and social benefits from the next-generation technology with hundreds of interested homeowners at town hall meetings in all nine cities. The finalist cities were selected last month by a C Spire review panel that considered factors like proximity to the company’s fiber optic infrastructure, community mobilization capabilities and incentives to speed up the construction process and reduce overall costs. The application review process was monitored and the Individual and overall results tabulated by Ridgelandbased Horne LLP, one of the nation’s top independent public accounting and business advisory firms.

Grandson’s bullying behavior needs professional evaluation DEAR ABBY: Our 7-year-old grandson has been a handful since he was able to walk. He has been sneaky and has told lies for as long as any of us can remember. He has been suspended from school more than 10 times for various things. He stole several hundred dollars from his mom’s purse and took it to school so he would have money to buy snacks. He stays awake longer than everyone else in the house so he can take things and hide them in his closet. He knows what he does is wrong, but it doesn’t bother him. He is also abusive to his disabled sister. It is hard to imagine that a 7-year-old could give hatefilled looks that you don’t even see from adults. I’m afraid at the rate he is going, he will seriously hurt someone or be hurt himself. He also has a very big heart. That is why we don’t understand what is going wrong in this little boy’s head. Please help if you can. -- GRANDMA OF A BULLY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR GRANDMA: Your grandson’s behavior may have something to do with the fact his disabled sibling needs more of his parents’ attention. Or he may have serious emotional problems. The boy needs to be evaluated by a mental health professional so his parents will understand what’s driving his behavior, and it can be addressed. Please don’t wait.

D E A R ABBY: I’m 17 and a few months ago I made the mistake of taking and sending Abigail nude phototo my Van Buren graphs boyfriend. An adult coDear Abby worker, “Jim,” got the photographs without my knowledge or permission and showed them to my other co-workers, including managers. Jim threatened to continue showing the pictures around unless I did him a “favor.” Out of distress, I quit my job, not realizing that managers had seen the photographs. I now know they were aware of the situation, but did nothing. How should I approach the situation? It would be very bad if my parents found out. -- FACING THE CONSEQUENCES IN NEW JERSEY DEAR FACING THE CONSEQUENCES: You now know why it’s a bad idea to send nude pictures, because once they are out of your control, anything can be done with them. While this is embarrassing, you should absolutely tell your parents what happened because they may want to take this matter to their lawyer. Your former employers ignored sexual harassment, attempted coercion and blackmail. If it can

be proven, they should pay the price for it. DEAR ABBY: May I share a pet peeve of mine? I wish you’d raise the consciousness of people who write obituaries and fail to mention the musician who provides the music for the funerals and memorials. The musician often does more preparation for the services than the pallbearers. Why are their names omitted? I usually want to know who they are when I attend. -- WONDERING IN GEORGIA DEAR WONDERING: I can think of a couple of reasons. The first is that some obituaries are actually taken from the eulogy, which may have been written prior to the death by someone in the family. If the obituary was written by an employee of a newspaper, the information may have been taken as part of a standard list of questions about the deceased and any survivors. Frankly, I think it would be more suitable if the musician’s name was included on the program. If it hasn’t been included, there is nothing rude about telling the officiant or a family member how much you enjoyed the music and asking who provided it. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your eyes are open to the problems of this time. One person who stands courageously on the side of what is good and right will be mightier than masses of apathetic wrongdoers. Will that one person be you? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People will take your calls today, and not just your people, but people you’d like to talk with but haven’t seriously considered calling until now. Pick up the phone and try out your superpower. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are curious and able. Given enough time, you can figure out how to do just about anything. Resolve to apply your talents to a problem that regularly afflicts many. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Holding on too tight is a danger in relationships. No one wants to feel trapped, smothered or limited by another. Sometimes you have to be a bit careless with love in order to keep it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If they are not careful, overachievers can defeat their own purposes and make average people feel like losers. That’s why it’s important to grow equally in modesty and achievement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one is always the puppet master. We usually allow ourselves to be the puppets for at least part of the day. But unlike real puppets, we can cut the strings and walk away whenever we want. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As a rule, you are more motivated by dreams of what could be than by a list of what you already have achieved. But keep the list anyway. It will be your fuel if you ever start to lose heart and forget what you’re capable of. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some seem to define their existence through suffering. Avoid those people today. You will only be dragged down by their unchanging litany of grievances. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You’ll never regret the thing you did because you had no choice; you’ll only regret those actions in which you had choices but chose wrong. With this in mind, make every effort to choose right. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Opportunity and risk are related. It is childish to focus on all of the pluses of a deal without looking at what could go wrong, too. You’ll make the best choice after considering all angles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re eager to start a new venture and wary of the debate and discussion that some seem to find necessary before moving forward. You know what’s real: action. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may be asked to explain your choices or discuss the thinking behind them, but here’s the bottom line: You’ll be judged by the things you get done. This doesn’t frighten you. In fact, it pleases you.

Host club, Warriors take wins BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

BIGGERSVILLE — A big gameopening run proved to be the final margin of victory in the seventh and final game Saturday at the BIGG Christmas Classic. Biggersville (7-2) opened the finale with 10 unanswered points and held off a late North Pontotoc rally to prevail 62-52. Alcorn County went 2-1 in the second-year event with Corinth beating Horn Lake 62-49 and Lafayette County edging out Alcorn Central 66-63 in the opener. The other four contests weren’t as close. DeSoto Central thumped Ripley 81-56, Booneville beat Blue Mountain 60-39, Baldwyn won 7250 over Coldwater and Southaven nearly doubled up New Albany behind a 70-40 decision. • John Wiley Works tallied a game-high 27 points for Central (26), but Lafayette County (2-3) offset that effort with four players in double figures. Central got to the line 33 times, with Works taking 17 freebies. The Commodores used eight 3-point buckets to offset their 8-of-17 showing from the line. Works’ spread out his damage, netting 13 in the first half and busting out for 14 more in the second. • Kendall Stafford scored 10 points in a 14-2 Corinth run after Horn Lake had pulled to within a bucket midway of the third. Corinth ran its mark to 9-1. Horn

Winston tops Heisman voting BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Jameis Winston left voters no choice but to give him the Heisman Trophy. And like every other Florida State victory this season, it was a blowout. The quarterback they call Famous Jameis became the youngest Heisman winner and the second straight freshman to win the trophy Saturday night, earning college football’s most prestigious individual trophy award with a performance so dominant even a criminal investigation couldn’t derail his candidacy. “I cannot explain the feeling that I have inside right

now,” Winston said. “I’m so overwhelmed. It’s awesome.” When his name was announced, he popped from his seat and quickly made his way to his mom and dad for hugs and kisses. He smiled and laughed through most of his acceptance speech. He talked about trusting in the “process” on the field and in life and “after all the things I’ve been through this past month.” He got choked up a bit when talking about his parents. “When you see your mom and you see your dad and they’ve been struggling through this whole process and now you see a smile on

their face, it comforted me,” he said later. Winston received 668 firstplace votes and 2,205 points. He finished 1,501 points ahead of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron for the seventh-largest margin of victory in Heisman history, despite being left off 115 of the 900 ballots returned. Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch was third, followed by Boston College’s Andre Williams, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel and Auburn’s Tre Mason. Manziel was the first freshman to win the Heisman last year, and was trying to join Ohio State’s Archie Griffin as

a two-time winner. Instead, Winston made it two redshirt freshman winners in the 79year history of the Heisman. He also became the youngest winner at 23 days short of 20. The 19-year-old also was investigated last month for a year-old sexual assault complaint, but no charges were filed and the case was closed four days before Heisman votes were due. “I really believe that people actually just trusted me. People obviously saw us play. But that comes from my team, too,” Winston said. Winston is the nation’s Please see WINSTON | 11A

Henderson leads Rebels Reynolds, Navy grab to 9-point win at home 34-7 win over Army Associated Press

OXFORD — Marshall Henderson is making strides to become a more complete basketball player. But at heart, the Mississippi guard is still a shooter. And with a few open looks late in the second half of a tight game against Middle Tennessee, he hit the big 3-pointers that sparked the Rebels to a 72-63 victory on Saturday afternoon. Jarvis Summers scored 25 points, Henderson added 15 and the Rebels rallied from a 56-50 deficit with less than eight minutes remaining to snap a twogame losing skid. “Down the stretch, we probably played our best three, four minutes to win this game,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. The Rebels (7-2) took a 61-60 lead on Henderson’s 3-pointer with 5:33 remaining and never trailed again. Henderson hit an-

other big 3-pointer with 28.7 seconds remaining to give Ole Miss an insurmountable 69-63 lead. Henderson was vital late, but Summers was the main offensive option early. The 6-foot-3 junior had an efficient night, making 7 of 11 shots from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. He was also 8 of 11 on free throws. “Every shot I take, I feel like it’s going in,” Summers said. “I’m in the gym all the time and just playing each game like it’s my last.” Ole Miss broke a four-game losing streak in the series against the Blue Raiders. Middle Tennessee (7-3) was led by Shawn Jones, who scored 18 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Neiko Hunter also scored 18 points. Middle Tennessee has been a Please see REBELS | 11A

PHILADELPHIA — All Keenan Reynolds wanted was to beat Army. The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defense all the way into the NCAA record book. Reynolds ran for 136 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Midshipmen to a 34-7 victory Saturday, their 12th straight in the series. “It’s hard to beat anybody 12 times in a row,” coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “But to beat your rivals, I’m very proud of them.” Reynolds scored on runs of 47 yards, 11 yards and 1 yard. The

sophomore has 29 rushing touchdowns, breaking the single-season mark for a quarterback previously held by Ricky Dobbs (Navy, 2009) and Collin Klein (Kansas State, 2011), both of whom had 27. “Coming into the game, I wasn’t too concerned about the record. If I broke it, I broke it. If not, oh well,” Reynolds said. “My main concern was trying to get the W. If that involved me getting zero touchdowns and everyone else having a field day, I was good with that.” It didn’t work that way at all. Reynolds ran 30 times for on a frozen, snow-covered field.

difficult matchup for the Rebels in recent years and Saturday’s game was no exception. The Blue Raiders won 28 games last season and made their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 1989. Kennedy juggled the starting lineup after a two-game losing skid to Kansas State and Oregon. Henderson started his first game of the season after coming off the bench in the previous seven. LaDarius White also started for just the second time this year and added 11 points. The changes didn’t have an immediate impact, with the Blue Raiders jumping out to a 9-6 lead. But the Rebels didn’t trail for long and pushed ahead 30-19 on Henderson’s 3-pointer with 4:01 remaining in the first half. Ole Miss took a 37-30 lead into halftime. Henderson had eight points at halftime — a fairly slow start considering his 39-point outburst against Oregon last week. But he also had four assists, including several nice passes as the Rebels pushed ahead. “I do think we’re making progress with him understanding about staying within the flow of the team,” Kennedy said. Ole Miss built its lead to 40-30 by early in the second half before Middle Tennessee began a methodical comeback. The Blue Raiders took a 50-48 lead on Tweety Knight’s layup with 10:28 left. But the Rebels didn’t panic, and Henderson’s 3-pointer for the 61-60 lead sparked the offense. Summers scored on a layup on the next possession and the Blue Raiders couldn’t respond until it was too late. “Our effort was great,” MTSU coach Kermit Davis. “But we had some untimely turnovers and they got some points off those turnovers.” MTSU made just 11 of 21 free throws (52 percent) to hurt its chances at the upset. The Blue Raiders had a 48-27 rebounding advantage, a margin that was still eating at Kennedy during the postgame interview. “I’m embarrassed,” Kennedy said. “But unfortunately I can’t do a lot about it with these shoes on and with these bad knees. So the guys who are out there, I hope they’re embarrassed by it.”

also caught a 2-point conversion pass on a trick play following his second touchdown. His third score — with 46 seconds left in a lopsided game — gave him 176 points for the season, breaking the school record of 174 set by Bill Ingram in 1917. “The thought did come across my mind to take a knee,” Niumatalolo said. “But then my thoughts went to, I have a kid that has a chance to break a record that’s hard to come by.” Navy (8-4) won the Commander-InChief’s Trophy for the second consecutive season and ninth time in 11 years. The trophy is awarded to the service academy with the most victories in games between Navy, Army and Air Force. The Midshipmen haven’t lost to Army since 2001 and lead the series 5849-7. Navy’s 12-game run is the longest in the history of the rivalry that began in 1890. “I’ve got a lot of good friends on that side,” Niumatalolo said. “They’ve got great kids over there. They go through what our kids go through. But ultimately, I’ve got to think about our team.”

Niumatalolo became the second coach in Navy history to start his coaching career 6-0 against Army, matching Paul Johnson (2002-07). The Midshipmen will conclude their season in the Armed Forces Bowl against Middle Tennessee State on Dec. 30. Army (3-9) fumbled five times and was intercepted once in its fifth straight defeat. Embattled coach Rich Ellerson fell to 0-5 against the Midshipmen and 20-41 overall since taking the job in December 2008. “You turn the ball over against a good football team, you give up big plays on defense, you take some big hits in the penalty game against a good football team, don’t be surprised if the score gets upside down,” Ellerson said. Ellerson’s job could be in jeopardy, and he knows it. “That’s not my call,” Ellerson said. “Obviously, in the body of work, we’ve made some progress. But I wasn’t brought in to make progress. I was brought in to win some football games and beat Navy. I’ve lost to our rival five times.” The snow that was forecast in the morning hours began during the pregame pageantry that makes this game a one-of-a-kind spectacle.

Lake dropped its second game in as many days after taking a 6-0 mark into Friday’s contest. Desmin Harris, who followed Stafford’s game-high tying 15 points with 14, drilled his third 3-pointer of the night in between a pair of fivepoint outbursts by Stafford. Trae Burcham, who played the final 11:36, led Corinth in the fourth quarter with eight markers. Raheem Sorrell, the third Warrior in twin digits with 13, added seven more as Corinth claimed 17-14 advantage over the final eight minutes. • Darian Barnett scored eight of his game-high tying 15 points in the opening period, including four in a game-opening 10-0 run. Biggersville (7-2) held North Pontotoc (7-4) scoreless until the 4:12 mark of the first. Jaylon Gaines hit back-to-back three-pointers to give the Lions a 20-6 lead late in the first. Slater Huggins scored six of his eight points in the third, giving the Lions their biggest lead at 15. Daniel Simmons, who tied Barnett for game honors, pushed the lead back to 15 with 1:56 left before North closed on a 7-2 advantage.

The former five-star recruit from Bessemer, Ala., made college football look easy from his very first game. On Labor Day night, on national television, Winston went 25 for 27 for 356 yards and four touchdowns in a victory at Pittsburgh. “I can’t explain how truly intelligent he is,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. “He always wanted to know why he had success or why he had failure so he could either repeat it or fix it.” There wasn’t much failure on the way to becoming the third Seminoles quarterback to win the Heisman.

‘I’m walkin’ here!’ City turns sour on holidays Associated Press

NEW YORK — For sharp-elbowed New Yorkers accustomed to walking where they need to go at a big-city pace, the holiday season is hardly the most wonderful time of the year. An estimated 5 million tourists who flock to the city between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day to see the tree at Rockefeller Center, the bright lights of Times Square and the Empire State Building often clog the sidewalks in an agonizingly slow procession that grates at locals and turns them into sidewalk Scrooges. “They’re like the walking dead, real slow,” griped Dennis Moran, 46, a fire safety officer at a building in Times Square and a native New Yorker. “They have this unnatural habit of stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.” It’s not that these Grinches don’t like the visitors; they just want them to use a little sidewalk etiquette. Among the biggest complaints: They stop in their tracks to take pictures. They stroll side by side in a sidewalk-blocking line. And worst of all, said Jose Francis, a caterer from Brooklyn who works in midtown Manhattan, they like to discuss group plans smack-dab in the middle of the sidewalk. “They’re walking then they look, they stand there and then, ‘boom,’ you run right into them,” he fumed. “They don’t pay attention. New Yorkers, we’re walking brisk. We keep it moving.” Every year at this time, Bronx-born Macy’s shoe salesman Henry Vega said he has to double down on his resolve to maneuver sidewalks full of shopping-bag carry-

ing, picture-taking, mapholding tourists. “I tell them, ‘New York is a fast-paced town; we get up in the morning and we get on the go, and 24 hours isn’t enough,’” said Vega, 54, as he noshed on a slice of pizza, standing, between

Drug, study method show breast cancer promise BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

SAN ANTONIO — A novel way to speed the testing of cancer drugs and quickly separate winners from duds has yielded its first big result: an experimental medicine that shows promise against a hard-to-treat form of breast cancer. The method involves studying drugs in small groups of people and using advanced statistical techniques to analyze the results as they come in, instead of waiting for all the data to arrive. Whether the drug, veliparib, ever makes it to market remains to be seen, but it has shown enough potential to advance to final-phase testing aimed at Food and Drug Administration ap-

proval. Bringing a new cancer drug to market usually takes more than a decade and tests in thousands of patients, and costs more than $1 billion. Companies can’t afford many studies like that, and patients can’t wait years for potentially life-saving new medicines, said Don Berry, a biostatistician at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He helped design the novel analytical method discussed Friday at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, an international conference. Researchers testing a drug usually don’t see results until they’re all in, to prevent biasing the study. But several years ago, an unusual partnership decided to try a new

way. It involves the National Cancer Institute, the FDA, drug companies, dozens of cancer research centers and charitable foundations. The study, called I-SPY 2, puts small groups of women on experimental drugs or combinations, then gives them surgery to see what effect the medicines had. The best result is a complete response, where no signs of cancer remain. Each patient’s results are analyzed as they come in, and advanced statistical methods are used to calculate probabilities that the drug would help in various situations, depending on which women had a complete response. “This allows us to learn and adapt from each patient as the study goes on,” and results on early

participants guide treatment that later ones get, said Dr. Hope Rugo of the University of California, San Francisco. When enough evidence indicates a high probability of success, the drug “graduates” to final-phase testing. On Friday, Rugo gave results on veliparib, the first of seven drugs being tested. It is made by AbbVie Inc., a North Chicago, Ill., company recently spun off from Abbott Laboratories. It is in a new class of experimental medicines called PARP inhibitors, which target an enzyme cancer relies on to grow. The I-SPY 2 testing suggests that adding the chemotherapy drug carboplatin and veliparib to usual chemo before surgery improved outcomes

for women with “triple negative” breast cancer — tumors that are not fueled by estrogen, progesterone or the gene that the medicine Herceptin targets. Up to 20 percent of breast cancers are this type, and they are more common in young women, blacks and Hispanics, and women with certain breast cancer gene mutations. Researchers were able to determine the drug’s potential after tests in only 71 women and just six months of treatment. They calculated that tests of only 300 women with triple negative tumors are needed to give a definitive answer, and that the drug has at least a 90 percent probability of success in such patients. If more types of cancer are included, the probability of suc-

cess drops to 55 percent. The results show that “we can get early reads on something that is worth pursuing” and bail quickly on treatments that don’t help, said Dr. Carlos Arteaga of the VanderbiltIngram Comprehensive Cancer Center. Veliparib has now graduated and is eligible for testing in a definitive study. It’s not known how long that would take, but it surely would be shorter than the several years that traditional testing requires. FDA officials have said that in certain cases, complete responses can be considered a basis for conditional approval of a drug, as long as follow-up tests are done after the product is on the market to prove that it indeed is improving survival.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The sale on eBay of a city-owned vehicle used by Sarah Palin when she was mayor of Wasilla is causing a stir in smalltown politics: One official says the current mayor is trying to fatten city coffers off Palin’s fame, and the mayor says “guilty as charged.” The city of Wasilla, north of Anchorage, auctioned off a 1999 Ford Expedition with 74,188 miles used by Palin before she became a household name. A Fairbanks woman won the SUV on Nov. 27 with an online bid of $10,300, about $8,000 above its estimated value. Mayor Verne Rupright said the intent was to use the profits to replenish the city’s vehicle replacement fund. But Deputy Mayor Colleen Sullivan-Leonard proposed using the surplus to stock the shelves of the Food Pantry of Wasilla, a proposal that died

Monday night on a 3-3 tie vote by the City Council. Rupright chose not to cast a deciding vote. “I feel like it’s unfortunate the mayor would try to capitalize on Sarah Palin’s fame and her reputation,” Sullivan-Leonard said, adding she felt $8,000 “was above and beyond what the city coffers would need.” Rupright countered it’s not fair to other worthy nonprofits to direct the money to one place. He added selling the surplus SUV for a fivefold profit is just good business. Sullivan-Leonard said she wonders if this is the end. “Down the line, maybe the mayor’s got some tables and chairs that Sarah Palin used he wants to put on eBay?” she said. “It’s getting a little old and dirty,” he said. They might get $10 for it at a secondhand store, or a Palin fan might pay $200 for it because she once sat in it.

The 26th Mississippi Soldiers from the Crossroads battled throughout the South Last week I told you about some of the local boys who joined the Union army. Well turnabout is fair play, so this time I give you a tale of the local men who joined the Confederacy; particularly, the 26th Mississippi Infantry. First off I need to introduce you to Arthur E. Reynolds. Arthur Tom was born Parson in Smith County, Tennessee Park Ranger in 1817, attended Clinton College where he studied law, and moved to Jacinto, Mississippi where he made a living as a lawyer. He was elected to the State Senate in 1850 as a representative of Tishomingo County. Arthur was a Whig and as the war drew close he didn’t want Mississippi to leave the United States. He and three others were sent to the state secession convention in Jackson where the Tishomingo delegates voted to stay in the Union. They were outvoted. You’d think a guy like Reynolds would move north or do his best to stay out of the war, but not Arthur; if Mississippi was determined to go to war, he would go with her. He set out to raise a regiment of fighting men from Tishomingo County and it didn’t take him long. Recruiting began in July of 1861 and by September the unit was sworn into Confederate service. They spent their early days at Camp Clark in Corinth and in September moved out to Iuka. On the 10th of the month Arthur Reynolds was unanimously elected as Colonel. The regimental record makes the claim they were “the first regiment which left the State for the war.” It wasn’t true but they did leave in December of ’61 when they were sent to Tennessee. They were at Fort Donelson in February of the next year and they were in the thick of it when the Confederates made a desperate bid to punch a hole through the Union lines. Captain Daniel T. Beall of “E” company got a lit-

Captain Thaddeus Beall of Rienzi

Col. Arthur E. Reynolds of Jacinto tle excited during the attack and began to spout incomprehensible encouragement to his men. “Load quick, boys, and remember the blood of your mammies! Bend your necks like tobacco worms! Now charge; sweep hell and burn the broom!” As the men swept forward Reynolds’ horse was shot out from under him and he was so large (he tipped the scales at over 300 lbs.) he was unable to keep pace with his men. Lt. Col. Francis Boone temporarily took command. The breakout failed, the fort surrendered, and most of the 26th Mississippi became prisoners of war. The enlisted men were sent to Camp Morton, Indiana while the officers spent the next seven months in Ohio. From that day on, however, company “E” was forever known as the “Tobacco Worms.” Colonel Reynolds was sent to the Capital Prison in Washington D.C., but he was soon paroled and allowed to travel to Union-held St. Louis where he stayed with a sick nephew. He did so with permission of Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck, the commander of the U.S. forces in the western theater. In June of ’62 he sent a rather bizarre re-

quest to Halleck requesting to come inside of the Union lines at Corinth for thirty or forty days to visit his family and push the authorities for an official exchange so he could get back in the fight. He described his home as, “in the immediate neighborhood of Corinth, Miss.” Imagine, a senior officer wanting to come within the enemy lines where he could view troop dispositions and numbers and then forward them on to the Confederate authorities. The request was not granted. By the end of summer the long awaited exchange of the 26th Mississippi was at hand and the regiment was shipped to Vicksburg and on September 16th they were ready to fight once more. There were fewer men in the ranks; prison life had been hard and many of the men were buried in the north. The released prisoners were reunited with the men who had escaped from Fort Donelson and the regiment was sent to Holly Springs. Here they met with General Van Dorn’s army just returned from their defeat at the Battle of Corinth. They were placed in a good brigade under a proven fighter; General Lloyd Tilghman.

After a lapse of nearly nine months the 26th got back into the fight at Coffeeville where they bloodied the advance of Grant’s troops on their way to Vicksburg. Tilghman was delighted with their fighting prowess; “I have seldom seen greater good judgment and impetuous gallantry shown by any officers and men.” The next stop was duty in the garrison at Fort Pemberton on the Yazoo River. Have you ever seen the earthworks at Greenwood, MS? The remains of Fort Pemberton are well worth a visit next time you are down there. Not that they hold a candle to the earthworks in Corinth. In the spring of ’63 Grant was back for another try against Vicksburg. This time he came down the Mississippi River and crossed his troops over from Louisiana to Grand Gulf. The 26th Mississippi was rushed down to help block the landing but by the time they arrived the Federals were on the east side of the river. For the next two weeks the men from Tishomingo County fought time and again to stop the blue juggernaut as the Union advanced first to Jackson and then on towards Vicksburg itself. They were in the thick of it at the Battle of Champion Hill and while the bulk of the defeated Confederate army retreated into the river city, the 26th escaped the trap and reported to General Joseph Johnston for orders. They

fought again in the hopeless Battle of Jackson that saw most of the city burned. An odd turn of events came in August when Colonel Reynolds was made the chief of the Conscript Bureau for Mississippi. The regiment went with him to Meridian to enforce the draft. It was easy duty until February of 1864 when Gen. William T. Sherman made his infamous march from Vicksburg to Meridian, destroying the railroads and most everything else in his path. You could call it a dress rehearsal for his future “March to the Sea.” The 26th Mississippi Infantry marched away into Alabama and then received startling orders; report to Virginia and Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. On May 5-6, at the Battle of the Wilderness, they and three other Mississippi regiments stood alone against the Union army until the bulk of Lee’s army arrived. The fighting was beyond description and the regiment lost heavily in killed and wounded. Capt. Beall, ever the wordsmith, noted the enemy was, “as thick as stars, and we gave them what Paddy gave the drum.” In the center of the line stood color sergeant Jack D. Jones, of Corinth, holding the regimental flag high. Col. Reynolds called for the regiment to fall back but the noise was so great no one could hear him. Lt. Beall ran to tell Jack who began waving

the flag back and forth to signal the men to retreat. Jack ignored the bullets and continued to throw the flag from side to side until the last man was moving to the rear. Colonel Reynolds later gave Jack the praise for saving the day and called out to Beall, “God Almighty never made a cooler and braver man than Jack Jones!” Beall bragged how, “He waved the regiment out of a death trap.” Jack was soon promoted to Ensign, or 1st Lieutenant. The fighting in May and June during the Overland Campaign resulted in catastrophic losses including Lt. Col. Boone and most of the other officers. Lieutenant Sam Barnes of Booneville survived the fighting only to be sent to the General Hospital in Richmond with a raging fever. He wrote to his father, “I am tired of so much blood.” He was released for duty on August 18 and reported to the regiment in the trenches around Petersburg. Within hours he was shot through the right lung and the left thigh. He died the following morning. Barnes fell during the fighting around the Weldon Railroad which claimed another casualty; Col. Reynolds was painfully wounded and was out for the remainder of the war. While he was recovering he was given a promotion to brigadier general. The men of the 26th Mississippi stayed with Marse Robert till the bitter end. Many were discharged for sickness or wounds and there were only a handful of men clustered around the flag at the surrender at Appomattox. Twelve men were all that remained. The survivors, many crippled for life, returned to Tishomingo County and a battered Corinth. Jack Jones returned having miraculously made it through the war without a serious wound though he carried the flag in every battle. General Reynolds, Captain Beall, and a host of others returned as well. They attended all of the reunions in the coming years, proud to the very end that they could claim they had served with the 26th Mississippi Infantry!

JFK fact, Lincoln legend shine from Biloxi Lighthouse The Associated Press

Festive Christmas lights and black mourning cloth 50 years ago turned the Biloxi Lighthouse into a contrasting symbol of unexpected death and joyful life. For more than half a century, Biloxi has used its most famous symbol to celebrate the holidays with lights that have spiraled, shimmied and blinked. The December 1963 tinsel version wouldn’t win decoration awards but remains remarkable for its contrast of joy and loss. When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22 that year, the lighthouse door and fence were outlined in black cloth. Then, when it came time to decorate for the holidays, lights were added. What made the scene memorable, thought those who knew their history, was that the lighthouse had again become an unusual symbol of

presidential murder. An official metal Magnolia State marker, erected earlier that decade on the U.S. 90 median beside the lighthouse, explained: “Biloxi Lighthouse: Built 1848. Apparatus buried in Civil War. Tower painted black at assassination of Lincoln. Tended by Younghan family, mother & daughter 1868-1931.” The legend of the lighthouse being painted black for President Abraham Lincoln’s death was familiar across the United States and appeared in numerous books, including “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.” And now, with the assassination of JFK 98 years later, the tower again became a mourning symbol. Photographs prove the 1963 mourning role without doubt. But the Lincoln legend has turned out to be just that, mere legend. It is a fascinating legend, however, and it should not be forgotten. The tale that the nor-

The legend of the lighthouse being painted black for President Abraham Lincoln’s death was familiar across the United States and appeared in numerous books, including “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.” And now, with the assassination of JFK 98 years later, the tower again became a mourning symbol. mally white wrought iron tower was painted black in 1865 is as important a chapter in Mississippi Coast history as is the truth. In fact, in most legends there is a “grain of truth” and this lighthouse legend is no exception. The late Coast historian M. James Stevens spent years looking for that grain. It’s not that he was a gleeful debunker of legends, Jim told me, it’s that the Lincoln lighthouse legend makes no sense. After the Civil War, the Coast was impover-

ished and no one would have the money to buy that much paint. Also, so many husbands, sons and brothers were killed in the war that locals would be too bitter to commemorate Lincoln’s own death. The Coast knows a lot more about itself because of Jim Stevens and his tenacity for getting history right with original documentation. The Gulfport restaurant and motel owner personally lost a lot in Hurricane Camille in 1969 but also realized much of the Coast’s tangi-

ble history was disappearing. He spent the rest of his life collecting copies of every letter, government document, news clipping and other written source he could find. I remember the day in 1980 when Jim walked into the newsroom waving his newest acquisition, a copy of the recently published Coast Guard publication, “Lighthouses and Lightships of the Northern Gulf of Mexico.” The section on the Biloxi tower mentioned a coat of black tar being applied to the lighthouse to stop rusting caused by neglect of the tower during the war years. Locals had buried the lens to make the lighthouse unusable for “Yankee” warships. The CG book said the black tar was applied two years after Lincoln’s assassination. “It will start a furor when it’s read,” said Jim, who soon became president of the Mississippi Historical Society. “Peo-

ple don’t like to give up their legends.” So true. I continued to tell the legend whenever I gave local history talks because the black paint is a great example of a grain of truth run amok for a good reason, that reason being tourism. Exactly who turned the tar into Lincoln paint is likely lost in time, although local historians have suspected a noted Biloxi promoter. Jim believed the legend grew and persisted because the Coast wanted moneyspending Northern visitors to feel welcomed in this Southern resort. Since 1980, no Magnolia marker has mentioned the Lincoln legend. That’s sad. The Lincoln legend and the JFK mourning cloth are integral to understanding the role of the 165-year-old lighthouse. Next week: Who is the likely Coast culprit who magically changed black tar into Lincoln black paint?

Cool uses for wedding leftovers In an effort to create a once-in-a-lifetime event that is remembered by all in attendance, many couples will admit to going a tad overboard with their weddings. From ultra-stretch limousines to bachelor/bachelorette parties in Las Vegas to course after course of food and beverages, some weddings are a lesson in excess. When the party has winded down, conscious couples can ensure that some of the excesses of the wedding get repurposed for good use. And that begins with the food. Many wedding caterers, in an effort to ensure no guest goes without their fair share of food, grossly overestimate the amount of food needed for the reception. That means there may be plenty of appetizers and main courses leftover, all of which couples have paid for. There are a number of ways that food can be saved and given to others. • Create classy takehome-packages. People have become much less averse to taking home food they cannot fin-

Some organizations can pick up food and deliver it within the same day to a soup kitchen. If you cannot find an organization to help, you may actually be able to donate your food to livestock. Some farms and recreational farmers will feed pigs leftover food. This is a way to ensure food will not go to waste. ish from restaurants. As portion sizes continue to grow, taking a portion home to enjoy later is both cost-conscious and a healthy idea. While a wedding may be a formal event, it shouldn’t preclude guests from feeling comfortable taking home any uneaten food, particularly if they like the food. Provide the reception center with decorative to-go boxes or containers that can be used to package any food guests want to take home with them. Small, handled paper or fabric tote bags will make the leftovers that much more portable.

• Donate leftover food. Neighborhood food banks may be willing to accept food donations from your wedding. Although many deal with only nonperishable foods, some will pick up both. Before the wedding you can inquire within certain organizations to find out which specialize in what area of food collection. Feeding America (feedingamerica.org) has an extensive list of food banks and food-rescue programs available online. Some organizations can pick up food and deliver it within the same day to a soup kitchen. If you cannot find an orga-

nization to help, you may actually be able to donate your food to livestock. Some farms and recreational farmers will feed pigs leftover food. This is a way to ensure food will not go to waste. • Help reduce waste. You can speak with your wedding caterer about cutting down on the amount of food without making it overtly noticeable to guests. First, consider a sit-down dinner where portions are carefully measured rather than buffet where amounts are estimated. Also, removing extra courses such as dessert or breakfast bars can further keep down the amount of extra food as well as the cost. • Take it home. If you will not be traveling to your honeymoon directly after the wedding, you can have the catering staff package the food and you can bring it home. Keep your freezer empty and put the food inside. When you return from your honeymoon you will have plenty of dinners already premade so you can enjoy life as newlyweds. Otherwise, you can invite friends over to view honeymoon photos and serve the food as refreshments. • Recycle flowers. Food may not be the only item leftover at the end of the night. Guests who may not have taken home favors or centerpieces will leave behind many beautiful items that would normally end up in the trash. Flowers and gifts can be donated to a hospital or senior center to brighten the atmosphere. Be sure to keep just a few favors available for people who send gifts in the mail since they weren’t able to attend the festivities. There are a number of ways to ensure that the excesses of a wedding can be put to good use. By donating food and other items or simply taking them home with you, you can stretch your money and resources further.

Professional photography adds shine to weddings Digital cameras have largely replaced traditional cameras, and even those who do not use digital cameras can no doubt use their smartphones or other devices to take pretty good photos. Capturing and sharing life’s memorable or even mundane moments, be it a child’s humorous antics, a meal enjoyed out on the town or just a lazy moment at home, has become the norm, and the digital revolution has turned so many people into budding photographers. But as capable as amateur photographers can be, there are still those moments that are best captured by the professionals. The benefits to hiring a professional photographer to capture life’s more memorable moments, whether it’s a wedding, birthday or family portrait, are many. Professional photographers’ creativity, experience and insight as to what makes a great photo is an invaluable asset. Professionals analyze their shots and know how to create the unique images their clients want. When you have only one chance to capture an important moment, professional photographers can provide peace of mind and quality photos. Professionals use intricate, expensive equipment and specially constructed studios, and they know how to manipulate lenses, lighting and various accessories to achieve the desired

shots. Furthermore, photographers know how to adjust apertures and shutter speeds to capture everything from portraits to action shots. Most photographers have a rapport working with people and can get even the most camera-shy individual to embrace the camera. After spending time with clients during the photography session, professionals often spend several hours uploading the images and editing them to present a diverse gallery of retouched images. Photographers then spend more time working with you and going over options for photo effects and how to best display the images. Even after images have been enhanced, further tweaking may be done on ordered prints, especially if a special effect is desired. When photos are ready to be printed, professional photographers use a trusted “pro lab” that offers top-of-the line equipment. The lab can use specialty paper to ensure your photo lasts through the years and produces the best colors and sharpness. Because such extensive effort is put into professional photos, working with a photographer will be more expensive than taking photos and printing them yourself. However, those costs cover the time commitment on the photographer’s part, the use of high-end and often expensive equipment, and professional editing.

Von Trapps’ lodge taps interest in new musical BY LISA RATHKE Associated Press

STOWE, Vt. — In the week since NBC aired a revival of “The Sound of Music,” the real von Trapp and the vacation lodge it runs in Vermont are in high demand. And yes, the family was watching as Carrie Underwood, in a widely watched and panned performance, took over the role of Maria von Trapp, made famous on Broadway by Mary Martin and on film by Julie Andrews. In a blog post, Francoise von Trapp, daughter of Maria von Trapp’s stepson Rupert, questioned the casting. “For everyone who thought the whole thing was wonderful and that NBC did a spectacular

job, I say maybe your expectations weren’t high to begin with,” she wrote, noting she doesn’t speak for the family or lodge. “If they hoped to have created a new holiday classic, I think they missed their mark.” Kristina von Trapp Frame, granddaughter of the real Maria von Trapp, and her brother Sam von Trapp, executive vice president of the Trapp Family Lodge, were more diplomatic, calling Underwood a beautiful singer. “It is relevant and interesting to a new group of people, and that’s the important thing,” von Trapp Frame said Thursday. “The original movie is an inspiration to many people, and if it continues

“It is relevant and interesting to a new group of people, and that’s the important thing. The original movie is an inspiration to many people, and if it continues that inspiration, that is only a good thing.” Kristina von Trapp Frame Granddaughter of Maria von Trapp that inspiration, that is only a good thing.” The family isn’t denying the musical is helping business, even if most callers are merely curious. And there could be another bump after NBC’s encore broadcast on Saturday. Whenever the movie starring Andrews and

Cryptoquip

Christopher Plummer airs on television — typically around Christmas — the lodge’s website gets a lot of traffic, said marketing director Jennifer Vincent. The musical and movie are a fictionalized account of the life of Maria von Trapp and tell the story of a 1930s Austrian gov-

Everson, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., who has been a visitor for decades. Four of the 10 von Trapp siblings are still alive, and two live on the lodge’s grounds. The 96-room chaletstyle inn is the height of charm during the holidays. With its wide views of the mountains that reminded the family of their native Austria, the lodge is decorated with Christmas trees and poinsettias. In the restaurants, wiener schnitzel and apple strudel are on the menu. On Christmas Eve, guests get a special treat: The von Trapp family sings Christmas carols with the guests. But no songs from “The Sound of Music.”

‘Hobbit’ director Peter Jackson stands by 48 frames-per-second BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

erness who teaches her charges to sing and falls in love with her employer, naval captain Georg von Trapp, and the family’s flight before World War II. They moved to Vermont in 1942 after visiting during a singing tour and vacationing in Stowe. They built a rustic farmhouse and started taking in boarders. As a ski industry developed in the area, they expanded. Fire destroyed it in 1980, but the family rebuilt. One of the captain’s daughters, also named Maria von Trapp, played accordion and taught Austrian dance with sister Rosemarie at the lodge. Rosemarie also taught her sons how to play the recorder, said Phoebe

NEW YORK — Has Peter Jackson reflected on the massive chunk of his life that he’s devoted to Hobbits? “You’re not going to make me are you?” he winces. “It’s a long time. A long time.” The 52-year-old New Zealand director still has another movie to go, so he can be forgiven for not wanting to ponder too deeply the 16 years he’s already spent in the service of J.R.R. Tolkien. The latest installment, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” is his fifth Tolkien film (part two in the three-movie “Hobbit” prequel to the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy) and approximately hour 84 in the Middle-earth saga. That may be a slight overestimate, but in any case, it’s been a lot of Orcs. The journey has largely been a smooth one. Each “Lord of the Rings” film was received rapturously, averaging about $1 billion a pop, and the trilogy culminated in the Oscar steamrolling of “The Return of the King.” But when Jackson turned his attention to Tolkien’s first book, “The Hobbit,” things got bumpier. He and New Line feuded over merchandising revenue from “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” was held up. Initially, Jackson was to executive produce with Guillermo del Toro directing a two-film adaptation, but after delays raged on, del Toro dropped out and Jackson returned to the director’s chair. When Jackson and Warner Bros. opted to make “The Hobbit” three films, a feeling of Hobbit overdose — and claims of overreaching — began to surround the project. The first film didn’t enjoy nearly as warm a response

from critics or filmgoers. “An Unexpected Journey” made another $1 billion, but it was derided for its lengthy running time (182 minutes), its prolonged introduction of characters and its innovative use of 48 frames-persecond, double the industry standard. Jackson had already broken new ground with technical effects like the motioncapture technique used to create the hobbit mutant Gollum, and he hailed the higher frame rate as the future of filmmaking — a sharper image that could attract moviegoers like 3-D had. But the 48 fps wasn’t well received. Critics said the film seemed overamplified and that the increased clarity yielded a discombobulating hyperrealism that contrasted poorly with the set design. With “The Desolation of Smaug,” Jackson hopes to be righting the “Hobbit” ship. But he’s resolutely sticking with 48 fps as the definitive way to see the movie: “It’s by far the best way to see it,” he says. Yet Jackson and Warner Bros. have declined to show film critics Jackson’s preferred version, instead only screening in advance the film in 24 frames-per-second. “I was part of that decision,” says Jackson. “We did feel that last year, we split focus in a way. People were reviewing the frame rate as well as reviewing the movie. I felt the technology dominated.” The director, though, says he’s also worked to improve how the higher frame rate feels. “I spent a lot of time in the color-grading room really putting my head into how we make the 48 not have a video feel,” says Jackson. “Some of the criticism of the 48 frames was not actually to do with the frame rate per se, which is just mak-

ing it easier on your eyes, reducing motion blur. It was to do with the fact that it felt like TV, like soap opera.” Moviegoers will get to choose. They can see “Desolation of Smaug” in 24 or 48, as well as in 3-D. Warner Bros. is increasing the number of theaters showing the film in 48 fps: 750 theaters, up from 450 on the first “Hobbit” movie. Internationally, it will play in 2,500 theaters, an increase of more than 800 screens. The film, meanwhile, is finding much better reviews. Along with Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular dragon created with motion-capture, Jackson has added a notable new character to Tolkien’s tale. Evangeline Lilly plays the female elf, Tauriel, who’s the fighting equal of Orlando Bloom’s Legolas. “It honestly was a coldblooded decision to write a good, strong female role because there aren’t any,” says Jackson. Earlier this year while shooting pickups from the original shooting of “Desolation of Smaug,” Jackson also wrapped up leftover production for the third film, “There and Back Again,” to be released next December. His time with Tolkien is finally coming to an end. But Jackson’s life is fully entwined with the films. He makes them with his wife and creative partner Fran Walsh. Their pugs make a cameo in “Smaug.” Jackson, too, has regularly made appearances in the films. Since the timeline is about 60 years earlier in the “Hobbit” movies, he says his briefly glimpsed character in “Smaug” is the grandfather of his “Rings” cameo. “I care so much about my cameo, I even map all the connections between the films,” he laughs. “It’s just silly fun.”

New Johnny Cash album coming BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — There’s new never-before-heard music coming from Johnny Cash. Cash’s estate is releasing “Out Among the Stars,” an album he recorded with Billy Sherrill in the early 1980s that was never released by Columbia Records, then disappeared when the company dropped Cash in 1986. Turns out Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, stashed the tapes — along with just about everything else that came into their possession.

“They never threw anything away,” said their son, John Carter Cash. “They kept everything in their lives. They had an archive that had everything in it from the original audio tapes from ‘The Johnny Cash Show’ to random things like a camel saddle, a gift from the prince of Saudi Arabia.” They stored away so much, in fact, the younger Cash and archivists at Legacy Recordings didn’t find the material until last year, long after the family began issuing archival music by Cash. “Out Among the Stars” will be

out March 25, and continues an intense period of interest in the singer, who helped shape modern country and rock ‘n’ roll music and became an American pop cultural figure before his death 10 years ago at age 71. Multiple music, book and restoration projects have been started in the past 18 months to mark what would have been the singer’s 80th birthday and the 10th anniversary of his death. The music being released was recorded during a difficult period for Cash personally and professionally.
