City plans Future Fare public hearing BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

While police dealt with a dangerous situation at a U.S. 72 shopping center, a large crowd formed adjacent to the site and across the street.

Today’s social network: Is it accurate reporting? BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Reporter’s note: I was finishing up in the office, about 10 minutes away from clocking out for the night, when I got a call from a friend who was driving down U.S. 72 in Corinth. She told me the police had surrounded the shopping center next to O’Reilly Auto Parts and she could see machine guns and body bags. It sounded like a massacre was in progress. Quitting time and the rest of my weekend would have to wait. ••• Late Saturday afternoon

the Corinth Police responded to a call about a suicidal man who’d barricaded himself inside a business on U.S. 72 East and was threatening to burn the place to the ground. The police soon surrounded the store. The situation was tense. An hour after the incident began, a large crowd had assembled next to the standoff site at a shopping center on the highway’s north side. They milled around and watched from the O’Reilly Auto Parts parking lot and in the parking area of a shopping center across the highway. Some of the spectators had

simply caught a glimpse of the action when driving by, and decided to stop and watch the show. But there were many who’d found out about it through Facebook, Twitter and other social media. Within minutes, the message board site Topix exploded with rumors. The internet brought the news from a few passerby to the whole county in a matter of minutes. People were intrigued. With nothing else going on, they went out to catch the show live. And they called Please see NETWORK | 2A

If Future Fare is approved by Corinth voters, the first city tax increase in 11 years would fund almost 60 different paving projects. Those projects range in size from part of an intersection to large stretches of major thoroughfares such as Shiloh Road and Harper Road (see complete list below). The last tax increase of 5.5 mills came in 2001 with 4 mills going to fund a bond issue for a paving program and the South Harper Road fire station. Also, the school district had a 1.5 mill increase. Now, the city seeks a fiveyear, 12 mill increase for paving and various other projects. Ward 4 Alderman J.C. Hill said he is tremendously excited about the program and believes supporting it ought to be an easy decision for voters to make. “People are invested in the community by living here,” he said. “Why would you not want to make that place look so much better?” While the tax burden will be more for some than others, he believes it is not too much to bear. “It’s the cost of taking the family out on the town for one night a year,” he said. Hill also welcomes citizen input. A public hearing on Future Fare coincides with today’s

regular board meeting at 5 p.m. Ward 3 Alderman Chip Wood said the board members drove the streets in their wards and provided input to shape the paving list. The board is looking to include some areas that haven’t seen new pavement in decades. An example of that in ward 3, he said, is East Clover Lane. The board is also looking forward to a beefed up property cleanup effort. With the small existing budget for cleanup, Wood said the city mostly acts in response to public complaints about specific properties. “Property cleanup is a biggie,” agreed Hill. “We usually work on 10 at a time to make sure that we don’t exceed the budget for that. We can speed that process up. I can see that really being an active endeavor.” Paving makes up $3.636 million of the $5 million program. The proposed street paving list and costs appear below. (Note: An asterisk next to the cost indicates the cost is split among multiple wards because the street lies within different wards.)

After six months in office, supervisors talk pros, cons BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Now on the job for nearly six months, Alcorn County’s new supervisors are learning the ins and outs of government, maintaining roads and answering to constituents. Second District Supervisor Dal Nelms, one of three newcomers to the board this term, said he is finding every day to be a new challenge, “ranging from something as simple as cleaning out a road ditch to talking with an executive about new industry for Alcorn County.” Helping residents with vari-

ous issues is one of the biggest challenges. “Some of the problems we solve on the phone, while others I’ve been working on for six months,” he said. Road conditions is one of the top concerns he hears about from residents. “Not only the conditions of the surface of the road, but also visual problems at intersections, erosion of road shoulders and litter, all of which are directly related to our roads,” said Nelms. He wants to see the county continue to work to improve roads and bridges while purs-

“In business, I was used to making my own decisions,” he said. “That has been one of my holdbacks is it takes so long to get things accomplished.” While industrial recruitment remains his top priority, “I would like to see us developing the park system and working with the arena to promote Corinth and Alcorn County as a whole,” he said. First District Supervisor Lowell Hinton said one of the biggest challenges for the new board is choosing where to spend a limited pot of funds. “With the economy being

slow, the money that you have to work on roads is limited, and the cost of materials to rebuild these roads is high,” he said. Industrial recruitment is also one of his priorities. “We’re moving forward with that, and Caterpillar coming in with a new facility was a big boost,” he said. “We’re working hard along with The Alliance and the city trying to meet as many industries as we can.” He said the board will be looking for funds for an upgrade to the park system.

Corinth-Alcorn County Airport lands MDOT grant BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

With a number of expansion and improvements in the works at the local airport, the sky is the limit. The Corinth-Alcorn County Airport is set to receive state funding for the improvement of existing infrastructure. Operations Supervisor Donna Briggs received official notification Friday of the approval of

the airport’s Application for MDOT Multimodal Transportation Grant Funding. The grant will provide for the enclosure of two existing T-hangar buildings. Briggs said the project should provide additional hangar rental revenue of $14,400 per year and an estimated 30 percent increase in yearly fuel sales – for a total projected net revenue increase of

$24,400. The project will also include repairs to the existing concrete slab and electrical repairs that are needed due to years of exposure to the elements. The airport currently has 18 T-hangers on the airfield, with only six of them enclosed. According to Briggs, the six enclosed T-hangars are always in demand and occupied, whereas the open T-hangars are hard

to fill due to bird droppings, the elements and security concerns. “There has been a waiting list for enclosed Thangars since before I was hired in 2006,” Briggs said. “In my second year here, I mentioned that enclosing these hangars would be a profitable undertaking for the airport.” At the time, however, Briggs was told the enclosure of the hangars “was not feasible.” Now,

she said, thanks to the work of Neel-Schaffer Engineers, Gerald Jasper and Susana Cook – and past and present Airport Board members – the project will soon become a reality.” “This is proof that persistence always pays off,” Briggs said. The total opinion of probable cost for the project is $204,520, with a 1 percent local share of $2,045.

News of the grant’s approval comes at a time when construction continues on another airport improvement. Crews from Rebel Services LLC are currently working to install a new fuel system that will allow 24-hour self-service fueling. The ongoing improvements will mean more convenience for flyers – and increased traffic and revenue for the airport.

their buddies. Rumors quickly spread through the crowd. The man inside had a hostage and a gun, they said. More than one said it was another case of a person going crazy on “bath salts” — an amphetamine like substance that is known to provoke violent actions in its users. Others said he did have a hostage, but no firearm. Some said he had neither hostage nor weapon, but was only distraught. “Well, why do they need so many cops if the guy’s just upset?” wondered one man in the crowd. “Everybody should just go home and let him work it out on his own.” Shortly after 6 p.m. the crowd adjacent to the shopping center had expanded to such a size than an officer was detached from the serious business at hand to try to control the growing crowd. The spectators at the O’Reilly parking lot were told to get in their vehicles and leave. Most of them drove across the street and parked in the area around the former

Coleman Funeral Home and Tans ‘R Us. Eventually, an officer was stationed in the O’Reilly parking lot to make sure another mob wouldn’t form. “When crowds form like that they put their lives in danger — and officers’ lives in danger — because the officers have to focus on the crowd and keeping people back, instead of doing their jobs,” said Corinth Police Chief David Lancaster. “If shots were fired, somebody could lose their life with a crowd like that.” As the police talked among themselves and focused on the situation, the crowd across the highway grew impatient and onlookers began formulating theories about what was taking so long, why the police wouldn’t just rush in and get the guy. One girl had read online that the man inside had a bomb strapped to his chest. Someone else said he and the whole store was soaked in gasoline. To rush him would set off an inferno — and nobody wanted that. “He’s got one bad dog in there,” said one young

The mob swelled. All walks of life were represented. Black, white, Middle Eastern and Mexican, people of all ages and racial make-ups had come together to witness a bit

of real life drama. “Man, this is the biggest thing since Luke Bryan came to town,” someone said. Traffic on 72 slowed to a crawl as motorists tried to get a look at what was going on. Dozens of drivers stopped altogether to ask someone in the crowd what was going on. A lady in a red car stopped and was told about the standoff by a group of boys watching from the tailgate of a pickup. “What’s he doing in there?” she asked. “They say he’s shooting women in red cars,” one of them replied. Big laughs all around. Not everyone was laughing. As a late model Z-71 slowed next to the crowd, its driver rolled down his window and shouted, “You people need to get a life!” By 7 p.m. over 100 onlookers lined the south

side of Highway 72. A cameraman stood in the back of a four-wheeldrive truck, his video camera mounted high on a tripod. Drivers seemed to be as fascinated by the size of the crowd as they were the sight of police officers leaned against their cruisers with assault rifles aimed at the shopping center. Finally the police began to make their move. As the armored SWAT team slowly moved into position at the flanks of their target building, the crowd surged toward the road, all stretching their necks to get a better view as the drama moved toward its climax. Everyone was standing now, and dozens of camera-phones were held high. It looked like an encore performance of a concert. The SWAT team quickly disappeared inside the building. The audience

went nuts — the sound of traffic was drowned by cheers and applause. The local PD had scored a home run. In a matter of seconds the SWAT team was out of the building. The person whose actions had inadvertently started the party was in custody and soon spirited away in a police cruiser for a trip to the hospital. One white-haired man, probably in his 60s, shook his head and smiled when it was all over. “Man,” he said. “It just doesn’t get any better than that.” As the crowd dispersed of its own free will, cell phones again relayed the messages. Time for another status update. The standoff was over. No shots were fired. No hostages. No bombs. No body bags. No dog bites. Nobody dead. But everybody on the south side of the road had a good time. Human interaction today is largely tied to the mobile devices. If not for the instant transmission of the news, the crowd Saturday night would have been much smaller. With the word traveling via Facebook status updates and texts, more and more people came out to see the action for themselves. After the standoff ended, Chief Lancaster got a call from a friend who said he’d watched the whole ordeal online via live video streaming. Later that night, the 10 p.m. news on WTVA featured a grainy cellphone video of the SWAT team moving into position. While social media and instant communication can undoubtedly be a good thing for spreading ideas, there are some people who see a destructive underbelly to the developing trends of do-ityourself reporting. “I heard about one kid in Tishomingo County that died in a car wreck and his parents saw pictures of him in the wreck on Facebook before cops could even get to the scene. I thought that was horrible,” said a local educator who wishes not to be identified. “Regular folks aren’t trained to respond or accurately report. Yet, they have an innate, animalistic drive to witness. They don’t understand the responsibility and ethics that comes with jobs of police or reporters. Their ignorance causes damage.”

Who’s lying about leaks? Obama or the Times? BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Both can’t be telling the truth. One is lying. The New York Times says that the national security leaks that exposed our cyberwar against Iran and how our drone strikes against terrorists operate came from “aides” to the president and “members of the president’s national security team who were in the White House Situation Room” during key discussions and current American officials involved with the program who spoke anonymously because “the effort remains highly classified.” The author of one of the Times stories, David Sanger, writes that some of his sources would be fired for divulging classified material to him. Obama’s Administration Press Secretary Jay Carney calls the charges “grossly irresponsible” and attacks Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for making them. They can’t both be right. My money is on the New York Times. At stake is not just some routine Washington leak. Both the substance conveyed and the motivation for passing the information along separate this story from the run of the mill. The material leaked could not be more sensitive. It includes the procedure by which kill targets among al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen and the Horn of Africa are selected and the personal role the president exercises in the decisions. Another leak explored the details of America’s cyber-war against the Iranian nuclear weapons program. But the intent of these leaks is what makes them all the more extraordinary — indeed, sui generis. While most national security leaks (like the Daniel Ellsberg and Wikileaks) are aimed at exposing and discrediting the program, these leaks are friendly fire — designed to enhance the president’s image during a tough re-election campaign. These leaks are just means to the end of the president’s re-election. They are of a kind with the spiking of the football presidents do. When George Bush declares “mission accomplished” or Obama rehashes the details of his decision to kill bin Laden, these are justifiable victory laps around the stadium. But when the leaks compromise ongoing security operations, they fall into an entirely different category. Indeed, they border on treason. Yet compare the fury generated by the leaking of Valerie Plane’s status as a CIA agent with the silence that has greeted these leaks. Plane’s leaking involved no threat to our nation and did not interdict or threaten any ongoing operation. The leaks were investigated out of pure partisan blood lust. The outrage the leaks have kindled in Congress is bi-partisan. But from the White House, we hear no outrage. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-MA)said the leaks are “frankly all against our national security interest. I think they are dangerous, damaging, and whoever is doing that is not acting in the interest of the United States of America.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said the leaks “endanger American lives and undermine America’s national security.” Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) has convened hearings about the leaks. But from the Administration come only the sounds of silence and the accusation that criticism of the leaks is “grossly irresponsible.” Top political consultant Pat Caddell speculated that National Security Advisor Tom Donlin might be the source of the leaks. That makes sense. What made no sense was to appoint a political consultant to the role of National Security Advisor (unless it was for this very purpose — to turn state secrets into campaign ads). But as the leaks surfaced in the newspapers, the president himself must have figured out that it was his top people doing the leaking. But he has resisted calls for an independent counsel to investigate the source of the leaks and relies, instead, on his own discredited Attorney General to locate their source.

Counties promote rural bridge program BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. JACKSON — Mississippi counties are lobbying to revive funding for the Local System Bridge Program. Funding proposals failed during the 2012 legislative session in the dust-up over a bond bill. Since 1994, the bridge program has made money available to counties for work on bridges where no sources of funding are available other than county funds. There are thousands of substandard local bridges across the state — those not part of the interstate or state highway systems. It has been — along with money for rural fire trucks — one of the most politically popular programs in the Legislature. The state aid engineer runs the Office of State Aid Road Construction, which also helps counties maintain the safety and integrity of bridges not owned by the state. Beyond the issue of public safety, local supervisors and legislators tout bridge replacement and repair as economic development.

“We need to accelerate this program ... this is an investment you get a return on,” said House Transportation Committee chairman Robert Johnson, D-Natchez. “If you are really talking about creating economic development opportunities ... you need roads in good shape and bridges in good shape. And you do better if you that done before an industrial prospect comes in and not tell them you’ll get it done after they come.” Johnson said no one should feel a sense of trepidation when driving across a bridge in the state. Steve A. Gray, director of government affairs for the Mississippi Association of Supervisors, said local boards are passing resolutions asking the governor to call a special session to address the bridge program. “This is a public, nonpartisan, everybody benefits issue,” Gray said. “There should be no disagreement on that.” Gray said the boards of supervisors agree with Johnson and others who say strong infrastructure

includes good roads and bridges to attract industry. He said companies want good bridges and road to get products markets and are unlikely to invest in areas where transportation needs aren’t available. “Just like you don’t want a school bus of kids having to go hours out of its way because of closed bridges, companies don’t want that either,” he said. Gray said counties have done a good job with the funds they’ve received since the program was enacted and funded in 1994. Johnson said while a few counties have healthy tax bases to locally bridge replacement, many do not. Johnson said the program started with a $20 million appropriation and has been part of bond packages passed in recent years by lawmakers. For the first time in as long as people can remember, lawmakers failed to pass a bond bill in 2012. The Senate proposed $7 million in cash and $13 million in bonds for the local bridge rehabilitation program. The House bill would

have issued $20 million in bonds for the program. Supervisors also want $3 million for the rural fire truck acquisition program started in 1995. Resolutions adopted by boards of supervisors note a lack of funding “puts all local citizens and their property at risk, including public schools and those attending and working in them.” The program, which the state insurance commissioner oversees, has placed hundreds of fire trucks into rural Mississippi communities. Counties have been allowed to apply for trucks on behalf of cities with which they have a contract to provide fire protection within a five-mile area of the municipal limits. Backers say the program has also served to encourage boards of supervisors to get involved in fire protection when in the past they weren’t. In that way, the program has done more than just put a fire truck in a county; it has gotten more people involved in their local fire departments.

Just who exactly are you calling ‘extreme?’ Don’t you find it odd that the word extremism seems to apply only to conservative Republicans? Terminology often drives political discourse and those who control the terms often determine the outcome. Establishment Republicans have too often been uncomfortable in their own skin. When they win elections, they sometimes seem unsure of what to do next. Democrats never seem to have this problem. They operate according to their core convictions and are never considered extreme. Instead, they are moderate, even normal. When Republicans stick to their convictions, they are branded with a scarlet “E.” Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush raised the extremist issue June 11 in New York at a breakfast for reporters sponsored by Bloomberg View. As reported by Jim Rutenberg in The New York Times, Bush said Ronald Reagan and Bush’s father, the former president, would have a “hard time” fitting in with a GOP led by the tea party movement. Bush said George H.W. Bush and Reagan would struggle with “an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement.”

Bush’s father agreed with Democrats on raising taxes, breaking his pledge Cal not to, and Thomas was defeated for reColumnist election. Is this the path Jeb Bush recommends for Republicans: agree with Democrats and lose elections? Why does this approach appear to apply only to Republicans and not Democrats? Congressional Democrats recently had an opportunity to prove their moderation by voting in favor of a bill that would have outlawed sex-selection abortions. Most Democrats (and a few Republicans) refused to vote for the measure. President Obama favors a legal right to abortion. As a member of the Illinois legislature, Obama refused to support the “Born-alive Infants Protection Act,” which extends legal protection to an infant born alive after a failed induced abortion, even if the child could not survive. Senator Obama saw the bill as a roundabout attack on a woman’s

abortion rights and voted against it. Extremism? Can anyone name a top aide to President Obama who is pro-life or who favors less spending, smaller government and lower taxes? Where are the “moderates” in his administration? In Maine, former Republican Governor Angus King is running for the U.S. Senate. A Washington Post story headlined: “Angus King makes a last stand for moderation in Maine Senate race.” The story quotes King: “My desire is to be as independent as I can be, as long as I can be, subject to being effective.” What does “effective” mean? If Democrats want to raise taxes and spending, would King go along just to maintain his “moderate” and “effective” image? Does “getting things done” mean not caring what things are done? The tea party exists because its members are weary of the games played by Washington politicians. When they vote for Republicans, they don’t expect them to go to Washington and cut deals that allow the liberal agenda to advance. They want to see real reform, including a reversal of the cultural decline that

offends their beliefs. Why aren’t liberals who are attacking the economic and moral foundations of the country the real extremists? In his breakfast meeting with reporters, Jeb Bush mentioned the need for immigration reform and a change in tone about how illegal immigrants are dealt with. He is right, but that doesn’t make people who want to control our borders and enforce our laws extremists. It isn’t either-or, it’s both, but a nation that cannot, or will not, control its borders will not continue to be the nation it has been or the one most people love and want to preserve. Is that extreme, or are the real extremists people who favor open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens? Many Republicans, it seems, would sooner be called anything but an extremist. Too many of them abandon their convictions at the sound of the word, eagerly desiring the approval of the liberal establishment. Such people are only making a stopover on the way to a destination called liberal extremism. (Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.)

Indoor pot operation shut down in Madison MADISON — Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker said his deputies and Madison police shut down an elaborate indoor marijuana growing operation in a local subdivision. Tucker said his office and police developed information for several months on the operation and were tipped Monday that plants were being grown. Tucker says a room had been set aside for what he said were 150-200 plants in different stages of growth. He said there were grow lights and an indoor water filtering system in the marijuana room.

He said a woman in the house had been arrested and authorities expected to make another arrest. He was not releasing the names until both were in custody.

Ex-inmate sues reputed Klansman JACKSON — A black former prisoner filed a lawsuit Monday that claims he was slandered and defamed by reputed Ku Klux Klansman Edgar Ray Killen and Killen’s wife and lawyer over statements related to a land transfer and book and movie rights. James Stern, who was serving time last year in the same Mississippi prison as Killen, claimed Killen confessed to

him to participating in civil rights killings, then signed over his power of attorney, land rights and book and movie rights. Stern was in prison for mail fraud and said he and Killen were cellmates from August 2010 to November 2011 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. Mississippi Department of Corrections spokeswoman Tara Booth said Stern and Killen were in individual cells, which were close to one another. Stern has been shopping around for book and movie deals about Killen. Killen is serving 60 years for manslaughter related to the 1964 deaths of three civil rights workers in what became known

as the “Mississippi Burning” case. Stern announced last week that Killen “unexpectedly signed over the deed to his 40-acre property” and Stern gave it to a nonprofit organization called Racial Reconciliation, which Stern controls. Records show that Stern actually used power of attorney to transfer a half interest of the land because Killen and Killen’s brothers were partners in it, Killen’s lawyers said.

Second jet engine test stand work under way BAY ST. LOUIS — Rolls-Royce North America broke ground on $50 million second jet engine test stand at the John C.

Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Miss. The ceremony was Monday at the Stennis Center. Rolls-Royce officials said the project will create 35 new jobs. Currently, Rolls-Royce employs 45 workers at the Stennis Space Center. Rolls-Royce’s first jet engine testing facility at Stennis Space Center opened in 2007. The Reston, Va.-based company also owns a foundry in Pascagoula that manufactures Navy and commercial ship propellers. The new jet engine test facility is designed to support specialist engine testing and will be used to conduct research, development, crosswind, thrust reverse, cyclic and

endurance tests on all Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace engines.

Grenada driver’s license office closes GRENADA — The Mississippi Department of Public Safety closed its driver’s license station in Grenada. State officials said the decision was based on budget cuts and the condition of the current building. Officials said the facility was built in the 1940s and has structural problems. For now, residents will need to use offices in Greenwood and Batesville. The state is working with Grenada County supervisors to find another possible location.

Church set to replace Jesus statue Associated Press

MONROE, Ohio — A towering roadside Jesus statue destroyed two years ago in a lightning fire will be replaced later this summer. A new 51-foot statue should be in place by late

July at the Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75. Several sculpture pieces will be made at a plant near Dayton in the next two weeks and then trucked to the Monroe site for assembly. The previous statue

was ruined when it was hit by lightning two years ago this month. It depicted a waist-up Jesus with arms uplifted, drawing the nickname “Touchdown Jesus,” or “Big Butter Jesus” for its creamy color.

GOP on health care: Repeal, replace WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans intend to seek quick repeal of any parts of the health care law that survive a widely anticipated Supreme Court ruling, but don’t plan to push replacement measures until after the fall elections or perhaps 2013. Instead, GOP lawmakers cite recent announcements that some insurance companies will retain a few of the law’s higher-profile provisions as evidence that quick legislative action is not essential. Those are steps that officials say Republicans quietly urged in private conversations with the industry. Once the Supreme Court issues a ruling, “the goal is to repeal anything that is left standing,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a member of the party’s leadership. Beyond that, “we ought to go step by step to lower the cost” of health care, he added, a formula repeated by numerous other Republicans interviewed in recent days. Across the political aisle, neither President Barack Obama nor congressional Democrats have said how they will react to a high court ruling that could wipe out the legislation they worked so hard to enact. “We’re not spending a whole bunch of time planning for contingencies,” Obama said this spring at the annual meeting of The Associated Press. He expressed confidence the court would uphold the law, and neither he nor his aides have said what fallback plans are under discussion. “We will be prepared in any eventuality,” White House aide David Plouffe said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” although he declined to elaborate.

Restaurant co-owner found dead in cooler NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The co-owner of a restaurant in Nashville was found dead inside the business’s walk-in cooler and police believe he may have accidentally locked himself inside. Jay Luther, 47, was found on Monday inside the cooler at Germantown Cafe East when an employee showed up for work in the morning. Police said there was a power outage on Friday night, and the restaurant put dry ice inside the cooler to preserve the food. When the power was restored on Sunday, police think he went inside to check on the food and somehow got trapped inside.

A button that would have opened the cooler from the inside was not working. Police think that Luther may have died from the carbon dioxide fumes created by the dry ice.

Memphis firefighters worry about trucks

Rodney King dies; beating sparked riot

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis firefighters say they’re concerned that a realignment plan that includes decommissioning four ladder trucks and replacing them with two multi-functional trucks will threaten public safety. The dispute involves two so-called “quint” fire trucks that combine five functions into one. The quints are both a ladder truck and a pumper, and they have fire hoses, aerial devices and a water tank. The Memphis Fire Department is decommissioning four ladder trucks, moving four others and adding two quints. Fire Director Alvin Benson says the quints will bolster the reserve fleet while reducing dispatch and response times. But some firefighters say decommissioning ladder trucks and adding quints will weaken fire response. The St. Louis Fire Department issued a letter in February, saying it scrapped its quints to reduce costs and improve response efficiency. Firefighters also say the quints — which cost more than $800,000 each — are heavy and have restricted maneuverability.

LOS ANGELES — Just a few months ago, Rodney King was once again the center of attention as the world checked back in on the man whose videotaped beating by police sparked one of the nation’s worst race riots. King had left Los Angeles behind, moving an hour east to a home where neighbors would often hear him splashing in the pool late at night. The scars from the more than 50 baton blows — those both inside and out— remained, but King struck an upbeat note on his life. “America’s been good to me after I paid the price and stayed alive through it all,” he said. “This part of my life is the easy part now.” But King was found around 5:30 a.m. Sunday at the bottom of the swimming pool at his Rialto, Calif., home. His death at age 47 is being treated as an apparent drowning and there are no signs of foul play, but Capt. Randy De Anda said autopsy results would be needed to determine whether drugs or alcohol were a factor. The autopsy was planned Monday.

Man rescued after whale hits boat SAN FRANCISCO — A Northern California man was rescued after his 50-foot boat was struck by a whale while he sailed alone about 40 miles off the western coast of Mexico, authorities said. The impact from the collision knocked out the sailboat’s steering and the vessel began taking on water late Tuesday, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Pamela Boehland said. Max Young of Sacramento stuffed a mattress into the hole caused by the whale, turned on four bilge pumps and was “trying to bail out water as fast as he could, because he didn’t know how long it would take to be rescued,” his wife, Debra Young, said. He also activated an emergency beacon, which alerted the Coast Guard. “His EPIRB delivered an exact position to us, contact information that allowed us to quickly discern the sail plan of

Focus on news shows in presidential ads RICHMOND, Va. — “Tell President Obama: Stop the spending,” screams an ad running during the broadcast of NBC’s “Today” show in central Virginia. At a break during ABC’s “The View,” Mitt Romney is praised in a different spot for his “strong leadership.” In Tampa, Fla., a commercial in the middle of “Dateline NBC” shows a woman fretting about the national debt under President Barack Obama and saying: “He spent like our country’s credit card had no limit.” In an ad seen during evening newscasts, the Obama campaign trashes Romney for “the worst economic record in the country” when he was governor of Massachusetts. The political pitches are coming early and often in Virginia, Florida and other hotly contested states that are expected to determine the outcome of the White House contest. So far they’re mostly jammed around local newscasts and current affairs shows.

If they're right, that means May's housing starts figures will mark the second monthly increase in a row. The report is due out today. The latest data also will cover building permits, which are a gauge of future construction. The number of single-family home building permits pulled by developers in April rose 2 percent.

Wall Street anticipates that FedEx will report better earnings and revenue figures for its fourth quarter. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest package delivery company is reporting financial results for the March-to-May quarter, a period when gas prices were on the upswing. That had many customers choosing slower and cheaper methods of shipping. But fuel prices have been trending lower since then. Will that prompt FedEx to give a brighter forecast for its business?

Bill Childs Men’s Invitational

Null claims third HCC title BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Gabe Null rode his secondround 62 into his third Bill Childs Men’s Invitational championship. Null finished at even par on Sunday, holding off defending champion Alex Tull by two strokes at Hillandale Country Club. The three-time champion finished at 14-under par over the 36-hole event. Tull was the lone participant in the 50-man field to put together three rounds in the 60s. He took the opening round lead with a 65,

but found himself down four strokes heading into Sunday despite carding a 67 in the second round. Null, the first three-time champion since Eric Russell in 2010, shot two-under on the front nine to up his lead to five strokes. Tull pulled to within two strokes heading to No. 18 going par-birdie while Null bogeyed both 16 and 17. Both players shot par on the final hole, giving Null his first title since going back-to-back in 2003 and 2004. Chase Williams finished third at 208, going three-over

in the final round. “It was a really good tournament,” said event director Paula R. Gunn. Gunn noted the next big event at Hillandale will be the 2-woman scramble on Thursday, June 28.

Field of Dreams Wiffleball League has backyard home BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Paul and Sylvia Moore don’t have a backyard to their residence on CR 185. Well ... not your run of the mill, Home and Garden Channel variety setup. Technically there is a garden, but the only seeds being sown in this particular dirt are of the sunflower kind. What would be seen as a nightmare to a realtor turns into a real life “Field of Dreams” each summer for the Moore’s sons -- Jay and Tyler -- and their friends.

It’s home to the Mississippi Yard Whiffleball League. “We’ve been playing since 2006, but it was just mostly pick-up games,” said Jay Moore. “We officially formed a league in March and we called it the MYWL because we were the first one to claim a league in the state.” Fifty-three groups, ranging

from three to 10 teams, are registered with the National Wiffleball League. The closest ones Jay Moore has found are in Atlanta and East Tennessee. Six teams -- divided into two divisions -- make up the MYWL. The Cardinals, Cubs and Rangers play in the Yard Division, while the Dodgers, Padres and Braves comprise the Lawn Division. Jay Moore and Hunter Bronson, the league CEO, put together weekly schedules and operate the league’s website -www.leaguelineup.com/ msyardwiffleballleague. Stats? Yes, there is an ap for that. The designated scorekeeper uses an iPad to track game and season stats. Those are posted on the website as well.

Five of the six teams have a majority of Alcorn Central High School ties, including many current -- among them seniorsto-be Bronson and Jay Moore -- and former Bear baseball players. Bronson’s roster -- the Cubs -- even boasts Lady Bear softball player Chelsea Buntin. Outside of Josh Harrison, the Rangers are made up of Corinth High School baseball players. Games are normally played on Friday and Saturday, with action kicking up at the end of the high school baseball season. The regular-season schedule will heat up in July after the completion of summer baseball and basketball action. Please see WIFFLE | 9A

Simpson beats tested champions in Open The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The U.S. Open yields few birdies or big celebrations. At Olympic Club, they always come in strange places. Webb Simpson walked off the 18th green on a fog-filled Sunday evening with his face red and his legs limp, settling into a corner of the locker

room to recover with his worried wife and watch Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell chase his 1-over par 281 on the course. After a week that restored the toughest test in golf, this was not the look or score of a mediocre man. This was the 112th U.S. Open champion.

Simpson saved par from the collar around the 18th green and sweated out a pair of past champions three groups behind, becoming the latest to claim his first major title at a club that always crowns the guy nobody expects to win. “To be honest,” Simpson said, “I never thought about,

and I never really wrapped my mind around winning.” With the history here, he should have known better. Olympic Club is called the “graveyard of champions” for a reason. Proven major winners who were poised to win the U.S. Open — Ben Hogan, Please see GOLF | 9A

Thunder deal with mistakes in important Game 3 The Associated Press

MIAMI — The lead was 10, the building was quiet, it was late in the third quarter and the Oklahoma City Thunder were on the cusp of grabbing command of the NBA Finals again. Then the mistakes started. Soon, it was the Miami Heat taking the lead in this championship series — and ensuring the Thunder would spend two days with the memories of so many things going wrong at the

wrong times. A night of missed free throws, more foul trouble for Kevin Durant, wasted opportunities in critical situations and one dreadful stretch to end the third quarter all added up to a loss for the Thunder on Sunday, falling 91-85 to the Heat in Game 3 of the finals. Miami now leads the best-of-seven championship series 2-1, with Game 4 back on its floor Tuesday night.

“A very intense playoff game,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “I thought we did some good things, corrected some things going into this game, and I thought we gave ourselves a chance to win. That’s what you want to do on the road. The game was basically anybody’s ballgame that fourth quarter.” True. Except it probably shouldn’t have been that way. Down by eight in the early

going, the Thunder clamped down defensively to change the complexion of the evening, taking away the easy paths to the basket that Miami enjoyed in the first half and forcing the Heat to shoot from outside. It simply couldn’t have worked better for the Thunder, with Miami missing 11 straight jumpers in one stretch and finishing 5 for 31 on shots taken Please see NBA | 9A

Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Payne Stewart — all lost out to the underdog. And all in a painful finish. Perhaps it was only fitting that the 26-year-old Simpson went to Wake Forest on a Palmer scholarship. “Arnold has been so good to me,” Simpson said. “Just the other day, I read that story and thought about it. He’s meant so much to me and Wake Forest. Hopefully, I can get a little back for him and make him smile.” Simpson did his part in the latest familiar chapter at a club that dates to 1860.

from outside the paint for the game. The Heat needed help to win. And the Thunder accommodated them, with mistake after mistake. “This is not over,” said Durant, the league’s scoring champion. “It’s not over.” He repeated the words for emphasis. But if the Thunder repeat those mistakes, then it might be over. “Game 4 is crucial,” Thunder guard James Harden said. “It’s the series. We don’t want to be down 3-1.”

Durant finished with 25 points for the Thunder, who got 19 from Russell Westbrook and 10 points and 12 rebounds from Kendrick Perkins. LeBron James led everyone with 29 points and 14 rebounds for Miami, which got a 25-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist effort from Dwyane Wade and 10 points and 11 rebounds from Chris Bosh. “This team is not going away,” Heat forward Shane Battier said of the Thunder. “This is an evenly matched series. Literally every game has been decided by four or five possessions. We just want to be on the right side of those

possessions when it counts.” Like they were on Sunday night. Derek Fisher’s four-point play with 4:33 left in the third quarter capped an 18-5 run by the Thunder, who rendered most of the 20,003 people in the building silent during that stretch. Oklahoma City led 64-54, the scoreboard showing those numbers just 68 seconds after Durant went to the bench with four fouls and a mere 28 seconds after Fisher checked in to give Westbrook a rest. So the best two Oklahoma City players were out of the game. If the Heat were going to turn

things around, it had to be in that moment. This is where that aforementioned help enters the picture. Battier and James Jones scored six Miami points 22 seconds apart — after both got fouled trying 3-pointers, on a night where the Heat could barely make anything from outside. James got a 3-pointer to fall late in the third, putting Miami on top 69-67. There were two lead changes in the fourth, but in the end, the Heat had enough. And afterward, Durant and Westbrook got the questions about their absences in the third quarter.

WIFFLE CONTINUED FROM 8A

Playoffs will begin in mid-August. The first round -- with division champions earning a bye -will be best-of-three, while the semifinals and championships will switch to a best-of-five format. The league even has an All-Star Game planned, which pits the Lawn against the Yard. Mirroring Major League Baseball, the club from the winning division will be the home team in the championship round.

Rules Most of the basic rules of baseball apply, but of course, there are some differences in the local league. The most prominent: Wiffleballs with holes on both sides are used, along with the yellow regulation wiffleball bats. Tape is only allowed on the handle of the bat. “We use the little plastic bats because it’s re-

ally a home run field,” Jay Moore said. Games are scheduled for six innings and official after three. A 10-run rule is in effect after four innings. No gloves are allowed and umpires are not used. Safe/out calls are made by the players and strikes are determined by an elevated piece of wood behind the plate -- if it hits it, it’s a strike. There are no walks or hit by pitch. If a batter is hit it’s counted as a ball and if a batter receives four balls the count starts over. Four players can bat but only three -- a pitcher and two fielders -- are allowed in the field. Runners can’t lead-off a base or steal. There is no pegging -- hitting a runner off a base to record an out -- allowed. A pitching circle and halfway lines in the base paths are used to determine if a runner can move up a base on a ball in play or be forced to go back. The elevated strike zone serves as a catcher on bases-loaded and tag-up situations --

whereas hitting the strike zone before the runner crosses the plate constitutes an out.

The Field The playing area has undergone renovations since games were first played in 2006. One constant has remained -- home plate has been stationed in the same spot since the outset. Center field came with the house and sits 70 feet from home plate. A green monster -- yes it’s green -- was recently constructed. At 10-feet high and 24-feet long, it makes for a tempting 75foot poke to left. The right field fence is made up of movable orange, interlocking barriers. Although not very high, a left-handed pull hitter has to hit one 82 feet to earn a trot around the bases. “We are very appreciative of Buz Plaxico Dozer Service for donating the right field wall,” Jay Moore said.

Stats are kept -- and home run music played -- under a tent along the first base line. The area adjacent to right field is used for tailgating. “I never thought I’d see something like this,” said Bronson. “Everyone that’s come back since the renovations has been surprised at how different it looks.” E-mails and phone calls even landed a sponsor in BIGS Sunflower Seeds. Although the league doesn’t profit monetarily from the partnership, players will soon be chewing and spitting free seeds.

Awards Postseason accolades, in the form of The Wiffy Awards, will be bestowed on various league players at the end of the season. ■ Home Run King -Player with the most home runs. ■ Gold Hand Award -Three best defensive players. ■ Yellow Slugger Award

-- Three best offensive players. ■ Cy Young Award -Two best pitchers.

Rosters Braves -- Jeremy Powers, Jonathan Lancaster, Justin Pickle, Hunter Shaw, Logan Ford, Jack Awaad. Cardinals -- Phillip Quinn, Justin Sparks, Dustin Sparks, Dylan

Shook. Cubs -- Hunter Bronson, Tyler Moore, Luke Mattox, Chelsea Buntin. Dodgers -- Jay Moore, Jake Harrison, Riley Mask, Gavin Ingle. Padres -- John Wiley Works, Preston Cline, Saylor Gray, Chandler Young, Zach Marlar. Rangers -- Aaron Austin, Josh Harrison, Tanner Parker, Osiris Copeland, Kyle Webb, Sam Carmichiel.

Couple have had their fill of dinner-time socializing DEAR ABBY: We have been having a problem with a young neighbor couple in our rural area. They drop in to visit us about five evenings a week. They’re nice people and good neighbors, so we don’t want to offend them, but what would be a diplomatic way to tell them we don’t want company that often? The husband gets home from work at 4:30 p.m. every day and his wife always has dinner on the table when he walks in the door. My husband is 62. He works hard 10 to 12 hours a day and returns home anywhere between 5 and 7 p.m. So it’s not possible for me to have dinner ready and waiting. Our idea of a pleasant

evening is eating dinner, watching an hour or two of TV, and goAbigail ing to bed Van Buren about 9 p.m. Dear Abby My husband has to drive by these neighbors’ house on his way home, so they know when he gets here — and they usually arrive shortly thereafter. I feel very uncomfortable cooking a meal and eating with non-eating company in my kitchen, so I always put dinner preparation aside and visit with them for an hour or two. It’s not unusual for us to wind up having dinner at

9 p.m. Sometimes they stay so long my husband and I are too tired to even bother. We have about had it. How can we regain our privacy but remain friends? — MISSING DINNER IN MISSOURI DEAR MISSING DINNER: You and your husband have been such good neighbors that you have made yourselves prisoners in your own home. The next time the couple arrives at your door at dinnertime, in a pleasant tone, say, “John just got home from work and he’s tired and hungry. Please excuse us while we have dinner. We plan to retire early. And in the future, don’t just drop by — please wait until we call you.”

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Ted,” and I have been married for four years and have a 3-yearold son. Before we were married we talked about having at least two children. After our son was born, Ted went through what he believes was postpartum depression. He wasn’t prepared for the reality of having a baby, and it was hard on him. To his credit, he got through it and has been a fantastic father to our son. He now says he doesn’t want any more children. We are financially stable, but Ted says it isn’t the money. He just doesn’t want to go through it again. Abby, I can’t imagine not having one more

child. I know I can’t force him to change his mind, but I’m afraid I will resent him for denying me something I want so badly, especially since we had agreed ahead of time. I feel there is no compromising on this. Either way, one of us is going to be miserable. I cry all the time and don’t know how to move on. Can you help? — DREAMING OF TWO IN TACOMA, WASH. DEAR DREAMING OF TWO: I wish I could, but not knowing the cause of your husband’s anxiety and aversion to having another child, I’m at a disadvantage. You should both talk this out with a licensed marriage and family therapist, and I hope you’ll do it before you become further de-

pressed because your current mental state may adversely affect your ability to parent the child you have. CONFIDENTIAL TO “FEELING OLD AT 45”: Old age doesn’t have to be lonely. It’s what you choose to make it. Reflect on the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall’s comment on aging: “I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110 — shot by a jealous husband!” (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

give it your all. That’s just how you roll. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve always been an empathic person, and it’s surprising to you that

not everyone has this gift. Some simply can’t relate to how others are feeling. You’ll be the one to make up for those people today.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). What you’re looking for is out there, but you have to start asking the right questions in order to find it. Asking friends is a start, but chances are the real answer will come from a perfect stranger. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Most people don’t reach adulthood without a few scars to prove that life can be rough. Be proud of the way you’ve healed, and share your story. It will bond you with someone today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have much to gain by following the instinct to get to know someone. An outgoing mood prevails, and you’ll expand your circle. New

friendships will be ignited with a handshake and an introduction. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It makes you feel warm and fuzzy when others notice subtle improvements you’ve made to your appearance. Each compliment fans the flames, inspiring you to reach your goal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As the sign of entertainment, you have an inherent awareness that the way you tell the stories of your life makes a difference in how you are perceived and respected. Today you’ll love the audience’s response to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The person with the big dreams is the most powerful one in the room -- even more powerful

than the gatekeeper in charge of who is and isn’t allowed to enter a room. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Problems are gifts. Inside each problem is a totally unique and valuable opportunity. Sometimes you see that opportunity, but right now it helps to have an observant friend point it out to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). There’s nothing wrong with wanting and needing validation for your work, especially when it’s a solo effort. The limited perspective you get from working alone is a huge challenge. Reach out. Ask for opinions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be

attracted to strange scenes. If it doesn’t look like anything you’ve experienced, you want to sign up. You could find love, friendship, adventure or work by mingling in a new place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You may be uncharacteristically shy or reluctant to talk about yourself around the people you meet today. It’s because you see life as a creative process and not a series of trophies you trot out for company. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Instead of giving a person the benefit of the doubt, you do something more radically generous. You give the entire benefit without a moment of hesitation or a shred of doubt. You

Nostalgia for cold, crunchy cucumber dishes When I picked up several packages of seed last spring for my little garden plot, I plain old forgot to buy cucumbers. This is a shame. What’s a Southern summer without beaucoups of cold and crunchy cucumbers? Not that a cuke is one of my tiptop favorite vegetables, but it is refreshing and it makes me feel nostalgic. My mom made cucumber sandwiches for us kids every once in a while. Just sliced cukes and spread plenty of mayonnaise on bread. I’d eat one and then I’d eat another. They went down easy. And my dad’s mom kept a covered bowl of cukes and onions on the dining room table. She simply poured vinegar over the freshly sliced veggies and left them out for anybody to help themselves when-

row of zucchini that’s doing so well you’d swear I’d planted elephant ears by mistake. Four jalapenos and four cayennes. Three mounds of pumpkins growing almost as fast as that beanstalk of Jack’s. And a nice long row of eggplants because I adore ratatouille and various eggplant casseroles and a Middle Eastern mushy dip with a name that sounds like Babba Goosh. Unfortunately, the tiny eggplant seeds got tucked into the ground just as one of those dry spells came along last spring, and they never even peeked above the soil. This was very dis-

appointing, since I’m not going to pay a fortune for an eggplant pod, which is what they cost these days. I bought another package of seeds and started them in those three-pack cells tucked inside a lightweight plastic bag from the dry cleaners. They sprouted nicely and are growing as fast as they can, but they’re not even ready to be transplanted into the garden, much less start producing big ole purple globes that weigh a pound or two apiece. So I picked out two 25cent eggplant plants at the Easy Way, as well as a cantaloupe and a watermelon and, of course, a cuke. Now I’m wondering why I didn’t buy at least a couple cukes. Or three or four. I’ve been unearthing recipes. Like the McNairy County Electric

Coop’s for a cucumber spread that’s super on tomato sandwiches. And the cold cucumber soup Charlene used to serve at her dinner parties. (Blend together three medium cukes, 1 large chopped onion, a green onion top, 3 cups chicken stock, 1⁄2 teaspoon dill, and a touch of basil. Add a pint of plain yogurt. Set in fridge to get good and cold.) Can hardly wait to dip my spoon into that bowl. I’ll think I’m once again sitting at her round, white table beneath the swirling ceiling fan with the best and dearest friends of my whole life. (Ryland Bruhwiler lives on a farm in McNairy County, Tenn. A special columnist for the Daily Corinthian, she can be contacted by email at downyonder@wildblue.net.)

roads maintained and the potholes patched.” He has three bridge projects ready to go on County Road 600 — if the Legislature passes a bond bill, which didn’t happen during this year’s session. Waldon hopes to see the board consider ways to improve the county garbage operation by re-

cycling more and processing more efficiently. Trash is also on the mind of the senior board member, 4th District Supervisor Gary Ross — specifically the rubbish site. “We are $781,000 in the red on garbage as of today,” and tons of debris must be removed from the Farmington site, he said.

Ross also shares the others’ concerns about the upkeep of roads. “When I first took office in ‘04, it took $39,000 to overlay a mile of road,” he said. “Now it’s about $100,000.” And the available money is about the same. Ross said this year’s budget will be another chal-

lenge with the loss of property taxes from the former Quad Graphics facility. He said the county is forced to find ways to cut or seek another avenue for that revenue. “It’s just tough times,” he said. “But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, if we can find the right tunnel to get in.”

ever they’d a mind to. I don’t know what the Health Police would say about Ryland that nowaBruhwiler days, but it seemed to Columnist work just fine. Mainly, however, I get them for my husband. He’s made open-faced sandwiches for his lunch almost every day since I met him, spreading tuna fish or leftover meat or cheese or hummus over a piece of bread, then slicing two or three crisp veggies to go with them. Tomatoes, of course, and/or cucumbers, radishes, jalapenos .... He spreads the rounds across the broad, white plate as if it were an artist’s palette. His plate’s

a little different every day, and it’s always pretty. So I was tickled when I ran by the Easy Way market in Memphis a couple weeks ago and noticed that they’re selling the last of their single pots of vegetables for 25 cents apiece. I’m a sucker for a bargain. And there were several empty spots in our garden where I could tuck another plant. We’ve got a nice little garden going in our front yard this year. Two short rows of Early Girls and Big Boys and a couple grape tomatoes to pluck and nibble on when we pass by. Two short rows of okra. One overly long

ual challenge “to do more with less.” The weather has taken a toll on his district’s roads in the last few years. “I really had three floods and two of the worst winters that we’ve seen,” said Waldon. “That has been probably the most challenging thing for me is keeping the

‘The Cupcake Lady’ Elementary school counselor loves to cook, share When it comes to calories, smaller is better — unless it’s Tracy Gardner’s cupcakes. Like potato chips, it’s hard to eat just one. One bite of the light, moist cake teases the tastebuds. But the ultimate delight is the “icing on the cake” — so velvety smooth it literally melts on the tongue. Her cupcakes should Sue be eaten slowly Bronson as to savor every morsel. Down Home Gardener, a counselor at Corinth Elementary School, started making cupcakes and other goodies as “happys” for co-workers, friends and family. Now, they’re frequently requested for birthdays, class parties and other special occasions. After taking a cake decorating classes at Vo-Tech several years ago, Gardner made cakes for the public briefly before going to work full-time. “I enjoyed doing cakes,” she said, “But I’ve always been partial to cupcakes. Sharing some of her secrets, Gardner said “I always use fresh ingredients like making fresh lemon zest for my lemon cupcakes. I make most from scratch, but if I do use a cake mix, I adapt. For example, sifting the mix and adding different flavorings. I always sift confectioners sugar twice and I use real butter.” She said she has always loved to cook. “I learned to cook from my mother’s love of cooking. She could bring the whole family together over for a chocolate cake,” Gardner reminisced. She also likes to try new recipes and invent her own. When she does something new, she sometimes uses teachers and office workers at the school to name her creations. Gardner and husband Jeff at-

1 box confectioners’ sugar 3 to 4 tablespoons milk Cream butter until it is almost white; add vanilla then salt. Gradually add powdered sugar that has been sifted twice. Stir in milk until frosting is spreading consistency. Food coloring may be added if desired. If icing is too thick, add a small amount of milk.

Over-the-Top Brownies 1 box family size Duncan Hines Brownie Mix — follow directions for mix (3 eggs make it cake like) Add to mix: 1 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup pecans, or more if desired 1⁄2 cup sweet coconut 1⁄3 cup butter, melted

Neighbor kids Sydney and Grant Camp enjoy Tracy Gardner’s cupcakes. They are the children of Matt and Jennifer Camp of Corinth. tend Oakland Baptist Church, where members are occasionally treated to her culinary delights. His Sunday School class’ cupcake favorite is chocolatechocolate. The couple have two children: Brandon, who just graduated Northeast and Jennifer, who lives in Memphis. Gardner shares some of her most requested favorites, including Over-the-Top Brownies, which she says is “a little bit sinful.”

Pound Cake Cupcakes 31⁄2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 11⁄2 teaspoon salt 4 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1⁄4 teaspoon butter flavoring 10 large eggs, room temperature, beaten slightly Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour and salt. Mixing on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar. Turn down mixer and add vanilla and butter flavorings and beaten eggs. Combine a little at a time. Add a cup at a time of the flour and salt mixture until well blended. Use a large resealable bag to pour mixture in. Cut a corner off and add mix 3⁄4 of the way full in cupcake liners. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool before icing with basic buttercream icing.

Mix and bake until done. Remove from oven and cover entire top with miniature marshmallows Put back in oven and bake until marshmallows are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Don’t let them get to the brown point or they won’t be good. Take out and cover with frosting.

Basic Buttercream Icing Frosting 3 sticks unsalted butter, softened 1 box confectioners’ sugar 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring Cream butter completely then slowly add confectioners’ sugar, scraping sides to incorporate all. After blending on high speed to aerate, add vanilla flavoring and blend well again. Ice cupcakes.

For director, Lighthouse remains ‘labor of love’ “Every time we communicate a real need, this community steps up to the plate.”

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

Almost two decades ago a group of local men from diverse backgrounds came together to seek answers to the problems they saw in their community. The group met to pray and get to know each other better, forging relationships across lines of race and background as they sought to understand the poverty and racial tensions they saw people struggling with. Two years later, the Lighthouse Foundation was born from these efforts and since 1995 it has served as a beacon of hope for those hurting in Corinth. “The Lighthouse began when a group of men got together and they looked around our community and they said, ‘We’re looking for some answers’,” said Foundation Executive Director Gary Caveness. “There seemed to be some racial tension, economic factors, and a lot of the hurting people didn’t feel they were being addressed.” For the first two years, the men focused on praying and trying to understand how they could make a difference. “In 1994, I became really involved with the group and by 1995 they were wanting to do something,” Caveness recalled. In May of 1995 the foundation began with a fishing trip for 110 young people. On the muddy banks of that lake, they saw those years of planning take root in the hearts of young people who were struggling and searching. “Sixty-six of those kids caught fish for the first time, but more importantly, 14 gave their lives to the Lord on that levee bank at that lake,” said

Lighthouse Foundation Executive Director Gary Caveness loves working with youth and seeing them be successful in life. the director. While the foundation has seen massive growth from those humble roots, today touching the lives of literally thousands of children and families throughout the area, those core concepts of rooting ministry in relationships remain at the center of everything they do. “It began and still is today a very holistic ministry. We’re very program oriented, but we’re very much in relationships with people and trying to meet the needs of people where they are,” said Caveness. An outreach that began with a very small, limited budget has grown into one of the largest organizations of its kind in the region. It’s programs include yearly trips to camp, an after-school tutoring program that includes character education and

more, a GED preparation program, the annual Toy Store Christmas ministry and much more. The after-school program is the flagship outreach of the Lighthouse. It runs from a few weeks after the beginning of school through the first week of May. Working in conjunction with the Corinth School District’s 21st Century Grant program, the after-school effort provides daily tutoring sessions for students. In the midst of that program, the Lighthouse offers the STARS arts and crafts program and the Boys to Men (for junior high boys) and REFINED (for junior high girls) character building and mentoring programs that are designed to help the young people learn leadership skills and prepare them to take on important roles in their community in the future.

Summer programs include the annual trip to Kids Across America Christian sports camp in Branson, Mo. — a camp designed to help work on self-esteem and the children’s relationships with the Lord - and daily programs at the Lighthouse headquarters featuring games, arts and crafts, classes and more. The Foundation has also reached out to the community through a GED preparation program that helps those who missed out on the opportunity to complete high school earn their GED and go on to seek higher education and better opportunities for themselves and their families. The organization is also visible each Christmas with the Toy Store Christmas toy distribution program that helps provide Christmas gifts for more

than 2,000 local families who are struggling each year. They also operate an AAU basketball program that has, since 2001, helped more than 15 athletes sign college scholarships and sent several to professional leagues overseas. The organization also operates the Lighthouse Foundation Thrift Store in Harper Square Mall. The director said the store is not yet a major income generator, but it’s value lies in creating opportunities to help people by creating jobs and providing help for fire victims and others struck by disasters. For Caveness, his role is truly a labor of love. “If I had to design a job for myself, this is what it’d be,” he said. “It’s amazing. I love doing what I do at the Lighthouse, helping people and at the same time having fun in our re-

lationships with the kids.” While it’s tough sometimes to see young people make wrong choices after trying to guide them toward the right path, the reward comes when you see the succeed, he noted. “It’s so rewarding when that one makes a good choice, when you see them graduate high school and watch them be driven and go on to college,” he said. They are now seeing a second generation of people who grew up participating in the Lighthouse programs coming back to the community to make a difference. A perfect example is their assistant director, Marqueena Duff, who has come back to work with children there after taking part in the programs as a youngster. “She’s just an amazing young lady because of what people poured into here and she’s now giving back,” he said. Caveness said the Lighthouse Foundation has been able to be successful because of the spirit of giving they’ve found in the community. He said they’ve always been able to depend on the people of Corinth to step in and help when they have a need. “We live in the best community in the world as far as I’m concerned. Every time we communicate a real need, this community steps up to the plate,” he said.

Business strives to improve breast cancer survivors’ lives BY CAROL HUMPHREYS chumphreys@dailycorinthian. com

Ronnie and Natalie Sleeper, owners of Med Supply Plus, Inc. in Corinth, have made it their mission to help improve the quality of life for women who have had a mastectomy. Choosing to wear a breast prosthesis is a personal decision and the Sleepers and their employees want to help make this as comfortable a process as possible for breast cancer survivors. As a way to add to this process, the medical supply company has recently begun offering fittings inside the patient’s home. So far this year, there has been about 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women, according to The American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States, as skin cancer ranks at the top. The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is a little less 1 in 8. Staggering numbers. Once breast cancer has been diagnosed, a mastectomy — removal of the breast — may become a real possibility. Some women may have the option of reconstructive surgery or may choose a breast prosthesis, an artificial breast form that can be worn after a mastectomy. These are usually custom-designed for most women and made from different types of material that are of similar weight and feel to natural breast tissue. For the Sleepers, the decision to become very active in mastectomy treatment was also a personal one. Ronnie Sleeper

Med Supply Plus, Inc. helpful employees Korey Frosinotes and Natalie Kelley do most of the fitting for women. explained the way he and his wife had got into the business — his wife’s mother was a breast cancer survivor who was often frustrated at where she had to go and how far she had to travel in order to get her form and bras. The couple also heard from ladies in Corinth who were going to Memphis, Tupelo and Birmingham. One lady said she was even traveling to Nashville. “We wanted to meet this need, not only as a business, but also as a ministry to people. We wanted to help them with this personal cost to themselves and their family in this emotional time,” Sleeper said. Though Natalie Sleeper has also been through training, Korey Frosinotes and Natalie Kelley do most of the fitting for the women.

They both have been through extensive training, an educational process and certification to effectively help patients with their garment care. When dealing with a mastectomy, Sleeper said a lot of women suffer from an image concern. Big concerns for a patient is whether she will still look like a woman or be able to maintain her shape and figure. He commented, “While Korey and Natalie are trained medically to not get emotionally connected, they often find that very difficult. These ladies come in and they do have these fears and concerns. As they are fitted into the prosthesis, we watch their shoulders almost relax when they realize, wow, that looks good. There is no doubt what Korey and Natalie offer these ladies is very therapeutic

for them. It’s like a huge emotional weight has been lifted off them when they realize, ‘You know what, I’m going to look OK.’” It was Frosinotes who came up with the idea of Med Supply Plus offering the option of home service for the fittings. Through her experience in dealing with patients, she realized some were uncomfortable in the fitting rooms, with people coming in and out of the office. She thought offering home care would relieve patients of their concerns. “We are beginning to offer this service because we understand some ladies aren’t comfortable going to a store or a retail type setting and being fitted for something as personal as this,” Sleeper said. “We wanted them to know they have another option, that they

don’t have to worry, we will come to their home. We really want to meet the need of these ladies to have local access to these prosthetics and at the same time, do this in a way that values their privacy.” Frosinotes and Kelley can go to the patient’s home and bring samples for viewing. They can oftentimes fit them at home if their sizes and shape are in stock. If not, information to place an order can be taken at the fitting session so the prosthesis can arrive usually within a day. Sleeper added, “We feel this is just one more way to reach out that is not currently being utilized in Corinth.” Insurances each have their own plan to address the cost of the breast prosthesis and mastectomy bra, as long as a prescription is obtained through the doctor. Not all of them pay at the same rate. Some will pay every year or every two years. Almost all of them have a provision for body shape size changes, such as weight gain or weight loss. Most major insurance carriers, including Medicare, cover these services. They may not cover them at 100 percent but most of them cover a majority of the services, he said. Med Supply Plus is also aligned with a program from Memphis, Tenn., the Wings Cancer Foundation. The foundation helps provide post-mastectomy care items such as breast prostheses and mastectomy bras to medically underserved women. Med Supply Plus is the only provider in Corinth authorized by the Wings Cancer Foundation. The Sleepers have really seen their business grow

Sleeper commented, “As word of mouth has gotten out we are in this business seriously, more and more ladies have walked in the door saying, ‘I don’t want to have to drive to Tupelo or Memphis to get my forms and would like to get them here.’ Once our ladies take care of them, they are really appreciative of our approach, the care, concern and sensitivity we show.” Frosinotes says the inhome fittings have been a blessing to her. “I hate to see these ladies travel when they are so tired after the ordeal they’ve been through. I feel the need to be there for them. They talk to me and share their stories with me. I can help them with their fitting and then they walk out of their home never feeling anything less than a woman. “These ladies encourage me every day. Natalie and I are here to listen to them and be supportive for them. I’ve experienced so much. They have truly blessed me. It amazes me how strong these women are and what they been through -- it touches my heart,” said Frosinotes. Sleeper added, “This is so refreshing. It is comforting to know our company is providing this emotional support and ministry to ladies going through this battle.” “Of all the battles they have to fight as a breast cancer patient, we don’t want their image to be one of them. We want them to feel good — we want them to know they won’t lose their womanly appeal, they will still have the body shape they would normally have,” added Sleeper. “Then it only becomes a medical issue ... Let’s fight the fight, let’s beat the disease and let’s move on.”

We would like to Thank You, our customers, for a successful Spring and invite everyone to stop by the CO-OP to see what all we have for you! We will be glad to help with any questions you may have from gardening, pets & livestock, fields and feed. “We didn’t invent quality service, we just still believe in it!”

“I wanted to do what I enjoy, and I love design and working with other designers, but I didn’t want to work as hard. It has become one of the best things I have done.” Debbie Thornton Owner, The Shops at the Barn

Staff photos by Steve Beavers Designer Debbie Thornton came up with the idea of renting space to other vendors at The Barn. The idea has been a successful one with over a dozen shops taking space at the South Fulton Drive location.

The Shops at The Barn Dozen artists, designers come alive in 5,000-square-foot space BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Barn isn’t your average storage building. It’s a place where art comes alive. The Shops at the Barn owners Debbie and Keith Thornton have transformed the one-time barn into a business that rents space to artists and designers. “The best move I have ever made,” said Debbie Thornton while discussing the over a dozen vendors now in the building. “I thought it would go over, but I didn’t think every inch would be filled when I opened in March.” The 5,000 square-foot building at 909 South Fulton Drive has a little bit of everything when it comes to art and collectibles. “We have a diverse group of people and merchandise,” said Thornton. A committee approves all merchandise in the shops. “We don’t want it to be another flea market,” said the owner. The list of the shops and the merchandise they carry are: ■ Art By Jaylene Whitehurst -- Paintings in the upstairs portion of the shop.

■ Tea Room -- A party room that can seat 24 for sit-down dinners. It is also used for art and floral classes. ■ A Fine Line -- The shop offers unique accessories for the home and body and also for both men and women. ■ The Out House -- A shop that has gifts, collectibles, antiques and oddities. ■ The Cottage -- A vintage clothing place that also stocks antiques, home accessories and the largest selection of decorative netting. ■ The Basket Case -- Offers floral arrangements and gift baskets. ■ Out of the Box Designs -- Customers can find vintage chairs newly designed at the shop. ■ Jazzy Junie’s -- All types of antiques, silver jewelry and pottery are the calling card. ■ Sew Fancy -- Anything that pertains to monogramming. ■ Busted Baubles -Jewelry made from bits and pieces of the past. ■ Custom Design Handcrafts -- The shop consist of tables, crafts and other items made from reclaimed wood. ■ Piddles -- Hand-designed art can be found in

the upstairs shop. Debbie Thornton Designs, Tennessee River Mercantile, Pillow Talk, Sho Sho Designs, Holiday House, and Party Rentals are also shops located in The Barn. “We all have a lot of fun and help each other out,” said Thornton. There are several advantages for vendors to

rent space. By renting a spot at The Barn, vendors do not have to pay the overhead and employees to sell the products when Thornton can do it all. It also can be a great way to liquidate a collection or turn a hobby into a business. “All they have to do is bring the merchandise, set it up and sell it,” said

Anything from antiques, jewelry, accessories to art can be found at The Shops at The Barn.

Thornton. The Thorntons bought the barn and made it into a home before turning it into the Corinth Furniture Barn. “It was too much for only two people,” said Thornton of the reason for turning it into a furniture shop. She then decided to rent the space to other

vendors. “I wanted to do what I enjoy, and I love design and working with other designers, but I didn’t want to work as hard,” she said. “It has become one of the best things I have done.” The Barn is open Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 1-5 p.m.

FAMILY FEATURES

F

ood always seems to taste better when enjoyed outdoors. No matter the occasion or location, these packable, snackable recipes are foods fit for a fabulous picnic. Bean Salad Stuffed Shells are a simple, flavorful, portable appetizer. Jumbo shells filled with a can of 3 or 4 bean salad, herbs and cheese make great finger food. Baby Beet and Farro Salad is an easy pack-and-go side. Whole pickled baby beets — just right for one bite — are the star of this whole grain salad, tossed with Dijon mustard dressing. Picnic Sandwiches with Pickled Beet-Mango Slaw, piled high with deli meats, goat cheese and a tangy-sweet slaw can be made ahead. Wrapped tightly and refrigerated for several hours, the flavors meld deliciously. Warm weather classic lemonade gets a ruby-red makeover. Simply add antioxidant rich beets to frozen lemonade concentrate, and Pink Lemonade is ready to enjoy. A Tex-Mex inspired picnic of Southwestern Marinated Chicken with Bean Salad is a meal all its own. The grilled chicken — marinated in liquid from a can of southwestern bean salad — pairs perfectly with the bean salad for a fast fiesta that can be served warm or chilled — just add tortillas and perhaps a margarita. For additional recipes, visit www.AuntNellies.com and www.READsalads.com.

MRHC registered nurse loves helping others “Getting to know (the patients) makes a difference and helps me in my job. It’s what separates a good nurse from a great one.”

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Helping others is what Dustin Yarber does best. He gets plenty of opportunities to practice his mission as a registered nurse. “I have a real calling to make a person’s day better,” said the Magnolia Regional Health Center employee. “I enjoy getting to know them and taking care of them.” The 25 year-old was planning on becoming a highway patrolman when he was led to a different route. “I had a lot of people tell me that I had the right personality for the job,” said the 2004 Tishomingo County High School graduate of his switching gears to nursing. Yarber collected his Associate Nursing Degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in 2009 and began working at MRHC last year. “Magnolia is a really good place to work,” he said. “Their goals are the same as mine.” When caring for patients, Yarber goes into the job with three priorities. “I want to help fix their emotional or physical problem,” he said as the first priority. The 3rd Tower nurse also goes the extra mile to know the patients. “Getting to know them makes a difference and helps me in my job,” he

Yarber’s supervisor, Amy Carmichiel, nurse manager of Tower 3, said

the dedicated nurse has all the right qualities. “Dustin is very warm, caring, compassionate nurse and these characteristics shine through to his patients and their families. He has an easygoing nature with his patients, families and coworkers,” said Carmichiel, RNC, BSN. “He is very

professional, but has the ability to put people at ease. He is a hard worker and a team player. Always willing to go the extra mile. He has strong Christian values that show in his work and interactions on a daily basis.” Not every day on the job is the same, according to the male nurse. “You have to change your personality in every room you go into,” said the Iuka native. “Some times you have to be serious and other times you can joke around with them ... it all depends on the type of person you are caring for on that day.” The middle child of Jeff and Tammy Yarber says the job can be “physical and emotional draining”

at times because “people expect you to know it all.” His relationship with God helps when those days arise. “You need that kind of relationship in this field,” said the nurse. “There are a lot of good things you see, but there is tragedy also.” Singing in the choir at Iuka Baptist Church and fishing are other outlets for the young man. “Singing is my favorite thing to do and fishing bass tournaments gives me a chance to just go out there and relax,” added Yarber. Although he is happy with what he is doing, Yarber has given some thought of going back to school in the future. The

cardiology and orthopedic fields have drawn his attention. “Because I have seen what my dad has gone through with heart problems and because of my love for orthopedics, these are two fields I think I could make a difference,” said the Magnolia employee. Nursing was once believed to be only a field for women. Yarber, whose mother worked in the medical field as an office manager and who also has a sister, Tammy, that is a nurse, doesn’t see that now. “There is an idea that nursing is more a female thing,” he said. “This day and time it’s not that way. We all have to grow into a family relationship because we count on one another every day ... it takes a total team effort to make a patient happy.” Having worked at Tishomingo Manor, as medical administrator for the Tishomingo County Jail and even at a correctional facility, Yarber is pleased to be at Magnolia. “I am so happy where I am,” he said. “This is an easy job compared to what I have done in the past.”

Fall of New Orleans beachhead for emancipation History

BY MARY FOSTER Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They marched out of cotton and cane fields, away from the kitchens, the laundries and the rows of cabins standing behind whitecolumned plantations. In May 1862, the fall of New Orleans to Union forces triggered a dash for freedom as thousands of slaves sought refuge with the occupying army. Historians say their numbers grew so large that they created a beachhead that influenced President Abraham Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategies on slavery and led to Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. Further north in Mississippi, one of the huge â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contraband Campsâ&#x20AC;? as they were called then was located in Corinth, where as many as 6,000 freed slaves sought refuge in 1862 with the Union army stationed there. Tulane professor Larry Powell says the unexpected rush of slaves everywhere in the south caused Lincoln to face more seriously how the Union would handle the slavery issue as its forces pushed deeper into the Confederacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The war was not supposed to be about freeing the slaves, it was about preserving the Union,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the slaves really did force the hand of the government. Especially in south Louisiana where they arrived in battalions and regiments, figuratively speaking.â&#x20AC;? Slaves had been fleeing to sanctuary Northern states for years before the war. In Kentucky for example, they followed a clandestine trail that led them north along the Licking River. At its junction with the Ohio River, they crossed over to the Cincinnati area. After the war began, federal authorities were confronted with what to do about slaves in areas that fell to federal forces. But it was in Louisiana after Union forces took New Orleans that the floodgates opened. The exodus destroyed many myths held about slaves, said University of New Orleans history professor emeritus Raphael Cassimere Jr. Among them was the belief that slaves loved their masters and would not leave the plantations if allowed freedom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was usually the most loyal-seeming slaves that were the first to go,â&#x20AC;? Cassimere said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acting loyal was a survival technique and they used what they could. But when the time came, they put on their tennis shoes and took off running.â&#x20AC;?

Because of the massive flight, Powell said Louisiana had more former slaves serve in the Union Army than any other state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 24,000 out of the 180,000 that put on the blue uniform. In May 1862, Union naval forces ran by forts Jackson and St. Phillip, which guarded the Mississippi River approach about 80 miles south of New Orleans. Confederate forces conceded the city and withdrew to new positions to the west and north. If New Orleans thought its open-city approach would bring leniency, it was somewhat wrong. Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler, who took com-

mand of the occupation, quickly became hated by residents. Among his edicts was one that local women insulting federal troops should be treated as prostitutes. This allowed Union soldiers to treat women according to their actions, and not with the customary tolerance typical of the times. He also earned the nickname of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spoonsâ&#x20AC;? Butler after he acquired a reputation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; history is unclear about whether it was deserved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for pilfering silverware from the occupied territory. But while Butler vexed white New Orleans, he also did much to set up the ground work the United States would need to

Although the law required that runaway slaves be returned to their masters, Butler declared them to be contraband of war, and let them stay. He also set up contract work that required they be paid; disproving the theory that only the lash got them to do hard labor. The American concept of contract work was that it could only be done by

equal partners. It also set a precedent, since only free people could enter into contracts, said Tulane historian Terrence Fitzmorris. But more so, the situation in Louisiana focused Lincoln on emancipation, which he ordered Jan. 1, 1863. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By this time, many of the (Louisiana) slaves

had bolted,â&#x20AC;? Fitzmorris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They realized that the war was really about freedom. Why wait for a piece of paper to make it official. These people had come free on their own and Lincoln was just putting the seal of approval on their actions.â&#x20AC;? Louisiana abolished slavery in 1864, but not in 13 parishes, including Orleans and Jefferson. But slaves quickly learned to tell authorities they were from parishes where it had been banned, Cassimer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole system broke down and it all began with the slaves running away,â&#x20AC;? Cassimer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took things into their own hands and declared they were free.â&#x20AC;?

The passed days of 2011 should tell us that it is easy to make resolutions but it is difďŹ cult to keep them. Think back to the beginning of 2011 and of the resolutions that were made. How many of them have been kept throughout the year? The passing of the old year and the beginning of a new year brings sober reďŹ&#x201A;ection and self-examination, but the passing of time can weaken the sober thought and inspiration of the hour or day until our resolutions die. The days of 2011 should speak to us of the importance of taking time in the coming year for sober thinking and self-examination, so that our resolutions of this year may be carried through the new year. The new year will bring many new opportunities. I resolve to... 1. Read my Bible each day - with the expressed purpose of understanding its message as it ďŹ ts into my life. When one obeys to teaching good changes are made in life. I once was lost but now I am found - Note Acts 2:14-47. 2. Do not be mislead by the many dooms day advocates. The days of 2011 should teach us that many of our worries and anxieties are uncalled for. To obey the gospel - becoming a Christian - and living a Christian life is not difďŹ cult to do. To get our mind focussed on the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way must be our goal. If we are not knowledgeable of the scriptures, we can be easily mislead. The Bible teaches us - me - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane - useless theories that do not honor God - and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodlinessâ&#x20AC;? - 2 Timothy 2:15-16 3. Remember that we have one life-time to prepare to meet our Lord. Each person is important and so is our time to prepare - ONLY ONE. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-mindedâ&#x20AC;? - James 4:9. The responsibility of drawing near to God lies directly on our shoulders. While approaching God through repentance, confession and baptism, we are assured that we are drawing near to God - He is â&#x20AC;&#x153;faithful and just to forgive us our sinsâ&#x20AC;? - 1 John 1:9, Hebrews 5:8-9. Man has a tendency to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;double-minded,â&#x20AC;? that is, having the desire to please both men - Galatians 1:10, and God Luke 6:46. Make wise choices in 2012.

Tips for Planning Summer Getaways with Family FAMILY FEATURES

W

arm weather has finally arrived, and parents everywhere are starting to plan family vacations. But traveling with a little one can be challenging and requires preparation. Huggies has teamed up with family travel expert Shelly Rivoli, author of “Travels with Baby,” to help moms and dads beat the heat and plan a no-stress summer vacation for their entire family — including the youngest of the bunch. Rivoli knows all about vacations with little ones as a mother of three, and has even changed diapers on four continents. “When planning a vacation for the entire family, it’s important to plan simply and only bring necessities for trips,” said Rivoli. “With the right products on hand, like Huggies Hawaiian Diapers and Wipes, you might only need a sun hat for your little one.” Here are more of Rivoli’s tried and true tips and tricks for making the most of this summer’s trip.

Timing Is Everything Stick to your baby’s regular sleep schedule as best you can to ensure a satisfied little one. If your baby sleeps well in the car, you can look forward to putting on miles during naptime drives. However, if your child has trouble sleeping in the car, consider leaving first thing in the morning or right after naptime to make sure your little traveler gets the rest he or she needs to enjoy the adventure.

Bring Liquids Onboard When you travel with a baby or toddler, airport security will allow you to bring a “reasonable amount” of extra liquids for your child, based on your itinerary. Place any prepared bottles, baby food or boxes of shelf-stable milk in a large, clear zip-top bag to present at airport security as you pass through with your child.

Beat the Heat During summer travel, long rides in the car can be even warmer for tots riding snugly within a car seat. To keep your child cool and comfortable, dress him or her down to a vacation-ready diaper. Huggies Hawaiian Diapers are shaped to fit to provide proven leakage protection — with an added tropical twist — perfect for summer.

Pace Your Road Trip Plan a meaningful pit stop for your family at least every two hours on the road for fresh air and exercise. Even rest areas may have space to roll a ball or chase bubbles and enjoy a picnic lunch.

Simplify Diapering on the Go Carrying just one or two diapers at a time in your purse with a travel pack of stylish baby wipes will make it much simpler to change baby on the go. Huggies Hawaiian Diapers come with two different styles in a pack — providing two outfits for your little one. Remember to restock your purse or daypack as needed.

Packing Checklist Diaper Bag Essentials __ Huggies Hawaiian diapers and wipes (5/day + 2 extra) __ Diaper rash cream __ Portable changing pad __ Disposable diaper bags

Go-To Gear

Home Away From Home

__ Car seat

__ Pacifiers

__ Lightweight stroller

__ Pajamas

__ Baby carrier __ Portable crib __ Portable clip-on highchair

__ Stuffed animal/ doll/blankie __ Books __ Music __ Crib sheets __ Waterproof crib mattress pad

Stick to the Routine Traveling babies need the stability of their daily routines to stay happy, especially for naptime or bedtime. If you and your baby go through a nightly bedtime ritual at home, stick to it. Even with the change in scenery, you and your little one will enjoy your special routine and ensure a restful slumber.

Fashionable Protection No Matter Beach or Backyard This summer, dress your little ones to be “Cute for a Cause” and contribute to the fight against diaper need. These vacation-ready Hawaiian Diapers allow mom to stylishly accessorize baby for the hot summer — for a trip to the pool or a family getaway — while also helping a baby in need. For every pack purchased, Huggies Every Little Bottom will help diaper a baby in need for a day. To get excited for vacation planning, upload a photo of your summer-ready little one to the Huggies Facebook page, and create a fun animated dancing Hula Baby video to share with all your friends.

1969 tidbits â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From the Scratch Padâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Here are some interesting tidbits found in a column called â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the Scratch Padâ&#x20AC;? which was written by Judy Holtsford and published in The Vidette, Iuka, July 10, 1969.) Mrs. J. A. Coker has some information to contribute about the grandeur of the Eastport of long ago. It is a description of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Heights,â&#x20AC;? the old Welch home at Eastport which was found in a book about Mrs. Cokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welch ancestors. The book was written by a cousin, Mary McDougal Axelson. The home belonged to E.T. Welch, a brother of Mrs. Cokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather. Edmond Tilly Welch was a merchant, planter, and slave owner. The house was situated on the bluff overlooking the Tennessee River at Eastport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a stately mansion with spacious high ceilinged rooms where beautiful lace curtains under heavy red silk damask draperies hung at each of the tall windows.â&#x20AC;?

All signs of the old Eastport have vanished including town records and such. This is a situation that an area group â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jacinto Foundation, Inc.,â&#x20AC;? is trying to prevent through the work of restoring and renovating the old Jacinto courthouse, still standing, that was once the hub of action for the old State of Tishomingo. A fund drive has been underway for quite awhile. The contributions have been coming in at a steady pace, but those who have not contributed to this cause and would like to do so may send donations, regardless of size, to me at Box 279, Iuka, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy to forward them to the Foundation.

To date, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a number of Tishomingo Countians to make donations, and thus have a part in preserving a portion of our heritage to be enjoyed by those of generations to come. An unusual letter arrived this week addressed to the Editor from Middleton Road, Archley Bicester, Oxon, England, to let us know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an Englishman by the name of F. Castle, who was interested enough to let us know that he had read the paper from so far away. He came across a copy of The Vidette â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Belmont News at the USAF Base near Oxford, England, where he works as an English civilian. Members of the Tishomingo

County Sportsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association were literally beaming over the success of their trap shoot the 4th and 5th. There were so many winners it was impossible to keep up with all the names. Basil Wheeler, the president, said that the event had some women and girls shooting, including Mrs. G. P. James, who â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annie Oakleyedâ&#x20AC;? with Basilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already decided Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to shoot in the one theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning for near Thanksgiving. N.S. Sweat, Jr., our circuit court judge, was re-elected to the Board of Commissioners of the Mississippi State Bar, representing the First Circuit Court District, composed of Alcorn, Itawamba, Lee, Monroe, Pontotoc, Prentiss, and Tishomingo Counties.

Slugburgers remain Corinth’s culinary king BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

Its history is debated. Some will argue the origin of the name. And just what it’s made of can sometimes be a mystery. Only one fact remains certain. Slugburgers are the culinary king of Northeast Mississippi. From Ellie’s in Iuka to R & T’s Burger Shoppe and Weeks’ Diner in Booneville; from Pat’s Cafe north into Selmer, Tenn., and throughout the heart of the Crossroads area in Corinth, diners and cafes are serving up slugburgers to the locals who crave them and visitors who want to give ‘’em a try. There’s even a festival every second weekend in July which produces some popular collectable T-shirts for every new owner to learn how to answer the question which certainly follows the shirt, “And no, they aren’t made from slugs.” “The slugburger is a year-round local delicacy,” said Kristy White, director of the Corinth Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. “It seems more and more travelers are basing their trips in part or around culinary activities such as farmer’s markets, cooking schools or food festivals. ... Here at the tourism office, we hope to use the already wonderful, culinary resources we already have to attract a segment of that market to Corinth.” Also known as cereal burgers, dough burgers or hamburgers in regional towns close to Corinth, the slugburger name and its beginnings are unique to Corinth, the Slugburger Capitol of the World.

What is a slugburger? It’s history dates back to 1919 when John Weeks returned to Corinth from a trip to St. Louis, where he got a German recipe for hamburgers. Weeks opened a cafe that year in Corinth and eventually five Weeks brothers were selling the hamburgers, which began to spread throughout the region. One brother bought an old trolley car in Memphis and a tradition began of serving the hamburgers in those. Those “burgers” were a beef mixture with extenders such as potato flour. Wind the clock forward and at some point after World War II, the term slugburgers entered the cafe scene to separate it from ordering all beef burgers. “I can remember a time when you went to a cafe and ordered a burger, the default was a slugburger,” said John Orman, president of Main Street Corinth. “If you wanted what we think of as a hamburger, you ordered a beef burger.” “It gets the term slugburger because it was sold for a ‘slug’ nickel,” he added. The term slugburger was definitely a Corinth distinction which has grown to surrounding towns. Redius Massengill and Bill Davenport were owners of the White Trolley and believed to be the first to use the term slugburgers. Redius later owned Massengill’s Slugburgers. “People would come in and buy five to six dozen slugburgers and take them back to the farm,” said Massengill’s granddaughter, Laura Holloway. “They were just 10 cents each and remained that price into the ’60s. You could feed all the farm hands for a few dollars.” As slugburger meat demand grew, meat markets

began to produce the mix, first McEwen’s Meat Market and later Gray’s Meat Market, owned by former McEwen employee C.F. Gray.

Where are the slugs? It begs the question and the answer lies in today’s meat markets. And one cafe turning out a fresh mix each day is guarding its recipe. The beef mix with potato flour has changed to beef mix and other extenders. Suitor’s Meat Co. of Rienzi produces “Old Fashioned Hamburger” mix for both individuals and supermarkets. Gardner’s Supermarket in Corinth orders 50 pounds twice a week from Suitor’s, according to Linda Glidewell in the meat department. For $1.59 a pound, one and two pound packs are available. According to the Suitor’s label, the mix includes beef, wheat flour, salt and soy protein concentrate. Rickman’s Meat Market is a huge supplier for the Crossroads area and boasts its slugburger mix contains 50 percent pork. It’s among the market’s most popular items, according to Linda Rickman, who owns the business with husband Jeff. “People have come from everywhere to buy our brand,” said Mrs. Rickman, who adds soy, flour and salt. “The pork gives the slugburger a sweeter taste.” The market makes between 300 to 600 pounds a day, three days a week. Individuals can purchase any amount and 10-day bags are sold to cafes and diners. “It’s a good, cheap meal to have,” added the meat market owner. “You can easily get five burgers out of a pound.”

Don’t try this at home If there was an “ode to a slugburger” and its complex ingredients, how to cook a slugburger, how to serve it and the condiments to place with it complicate the culinary scene. The only given is to serve it on a white bun. Period. No bread. Nothing fancy. Most slugburgers are deep fat fried — especially in Corinth. Some diners cook them on a griddle with a side order of oil, but the old-fashioned Southern way of dropping the mix into some hot vegetable oil is more the rule. Slugburgers come with a standard mustard, sliced dill pickles and white onion, chopped or sliced and always raw. To eat it any other way, one must make the change when ordering, thus giving up to the waitress the rookie slug eater “ain’t from around here.” Cheeseslugs are on most menus and will be topped the same, as is a doubleslug. To understand completely the slugburger experience, one must visit a Corinth diner. Not all restaurants and cafes serve up the delight, but many do. There’s even a more recent Slugburger Cafe on U.S. 72 on the west side of town not far from the Welcome to Corinth sign, a clue of things to come past the fast food chains. But there’s history to experience in some and step no further than Borroum’s Drug Store and the White Trolley Cafe. Please see BURGERS | 3C

Dixie Stampede performer has Corinth connection BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

Crossroads residents visiting Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede in Branson, Mo., might see a familiar face — Aaron Murphree. Murphree, 25, who spent his younger years in Corinth, has been performing at Dixie Stampede for two seasons as an equine performer. His family moved to the Corinth area when he was young and he has many early memories of Corinth. “It was a great place to grow up,” he said, recalling his family moved to the area when his father took a position working on the NASA project in Iuka. Murphree is the son of Jerry Murphree and Cynthia Murphree Carson. “We lived in the Oak Forest area of Corinth. My two brothers and I would play in the woods and build forts most of our days.” He attended Alcorn Central Elementary and First Baptist Church of Corinth where he was baptized by Pastor Dennis Smith. “I recall him being a great leader even at a young age and still regard him, along with my parents, as being a central figure in forming who I am today.” While his mother and father no longer reside in Corinth, Murphree has a good deal of family on the Murphree side in the northern Mississippi area, most of whom live in the Falkner and Ripley areas. “Our family roots are still very much in Mississippi and other Southern states,” he said. He attended high school in Branson where he graduated in 2005. He performs on a daily basis in his work at Dixie Stampede in Branson. “As cast members we have a lot of duties, first and foremost is to put

Aaron Murphree, a performer at Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede in Branson, Mo., has many fond memories of growing up in Corinth. on a great show for our guests,” he said. “We are known as equine performers since most our show is built around horses of many types.” Murphree rides, dances and drives wagons of various sorts throughout the show. “Our typical riding horses are quarter horses and we typically use the Belgian Draft horses to pull our Conestoga wagons in the show.” Along with performing, the performers also care for their horses themselves. Those duties include bathing, clipping, caring for basic physical needs and even at times helping the stablemates feed all the animals. “We also saddle our own mounts and hitch up our own wagons. As a rider/performer we are also required to take care of all of our own horse tack (saddles, harnesses and such),” he said. “We even stack hay in the barn every so many weeks. “Being a performer can be glamorous, but when working in an environ-

ment such as Dixie, the show in the arena is the easy part of the job.” Depending on the time of year and day of the week, he will perform anywhere from one show a day up to four during the really busy season. Murphree has worked in the industry in many areas for a number of years. Before his job at Dixie Stampede, he was regional manager for a photography company based out of Branson where he ran the Myrtle Beach, S.C., operations, doing all sorts of photography, with a lot of business geared around the live theater environment. “I was really wanting to move back closer to home and family so I resigned not fully knowing what I was going to do, packed my car with as much as I could get and moved home to Branson.” He had always loved to ride horses and wanted to work in show business again, so he put his resume together along with a head shot and auditioned for the show. “After a dance audition

and a riding audition, they offered me a job,” he said. He says the part he enjoys the most about his job is working with the horses. “I feel they are the most beautiful creatures God made and have such beauty to them. I love getting to be around them every day. I sit atop a horse six days a week and for me that never gets old.” Murphree is assigned to a horse by the name of Chex, a Bay Quarter horse. “There are bigger horses, prettier horses, stronger than he ... yet he is like my puppy. I do my best with what I am given to work with to ensure that he is well cared for, and that I do take pride in. “Seeing a child smile during the show is a great thing, too. I do my best to give 100 percent every day I am in front of our guests. “People pay good money to come see our show and I always want to know that I did my very best to give them the best show I can give. To be honest I don’t do it for the

glory of Dixie Stampede nor for the money nor to show how great I am, but I do my best because I believe that in all things we do we are to do it for the Lord. So, I enjoy getting a chance to honor Him every day with my efforts, even if I am not the best there is.” In addition to his parents, Murphree’s family includes two other brothers who are his best friends and who both have great wives, he said. “My oldest brother, Nathan, has a daughter named Allie, who I love like she was my own. I hope to teach her to ride if she wants someday.” “I have a great family that supports me in everything I do. Most of my family works in some aspect of show biz from theater management, to behind the scenes with set design or performing,” he said. As for future plans, he says every day is a new day. “Sometimes it’s hard to know what God has in store for me,” he said, adding he would like to finish college where he was working toward a fine arts degree at Missouri State University. He has a background in art based fields, having worked as a full-time artist for a large theater in Branson and Lancaster, Pa., for four years. “I would really love to

make a living producing my work full-time. Teaching at a college and working toward expanding the arts, visual and performing arts, would be a great path. “I do know I will always ride horses and desire to be around them ... Dixie or no Dixie,” he said. What little time there is away from work, he enjoys photography as a side business which keeps him very busy. He loves history and reads a good deal ... “often Civil War related reading, as our Southern culture is rooted deep in that subject.” He goes to church often. “We only get one day off a week, so I try to cram everything I can into that one day ... often that is laundry!” he says. If possible, he drives to Springfield to see his granddad on days off. His grandfather was stationed in Biloxi many years ago. During the Dixie Stampede show he meets people from Mississippi all the time. He invites Crossroads area residents to visit Branson to see him in action at Dixie Stampede. “Coming to see the show is great thing to do. There are so many great things to see in Branson and it is a great family place. “And if you see me on the horse walk be sure to say hello, as I always wear my name tag,” Murphree said. Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede is a unique dinner and show experience set in a giant 35,000-square-foot arena featuring 32 magnificent horses, a stampede of buffalo, thrilling horsemanship, romance, and audience participation, all showcased in a friendly rivalry between North and South and complemented by a four-course feast.

CONTINUED FROM 1C

White Trolley Cafe The trolley car from the 50’s is now gone, but a small brick building rests in the same spot on U.S. 72 — “the main drag through town” — frying up so many slugburgers the current manager won’t give up just how many. “It’s why people come in,” said Jeremiah Dees, manager of the cafe and son of the owner, Ronnie Dees. The slugburger ranks high on the hungry list, right along fried hot dogs with slaw, all beef burgers and ribeye sandwiches. The White Trolley’s slugburgers have been voted Most Favorite for many years in the Reader’s Choice Awards by the Daily Corinthian, the local newspaper. But its all beef burgers got some national fame when Food Network magazine named it “Best Burger in Mississippi” in June/July 2009. It’s 3 p.m. on a recent Saturday afternoon and business has been brisk all day long — the diner is open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It’s an eat-at-the-counter place with a few small tables. An elderly couple, family of four with kids and a young couple all have one thing in common, all eating slugburgers the traditional way with one “hold the onion” request and two orders of “tops dipped.” The kitchen will touch the top of the white bun in the hot oil upon request for an extra burst of the slugburger flavor. “Many customers order ‘tops dipped’,” adds Dees, serving up a pair of takeout orders -- all slugburgers. The popular burgers won’t break the budget at 85 cents each, 99 cents with cheese. And they heap the pickles, onions and the bun isn’t small. Caterpillar employee Adam Ellsworth works on his two slugburger order and a side order of tater tots, covered in ketchup. “I come in here a couple of times of month,” he says. “And it’s always slugburgers.” “We have the original recipe,” boasts Dees, going back to the McEwen Meat Market days. “And we grind our mix with fresh ingredients every day.” As for what is in the mix and how much is made each day, “I can’t say,” notes Dees, whose family has owned the cafe since 1981, first with a partner, then later just the Dees family. “We are the only ones who make the mix fresh,” he adds. “That’s what separates us.”

Slugburger Festival

Customers at the White Trolley Cafe eat their breakfast, lunch and dinner at the counter on a stool. The cafe serves up slugburgers for just 85 cents each, 99 cents with cheese.

Borroum’s Drug Store is a downtown Corinth tradition. It’s the oldest drug store still in operation in Mississippi.

Borroum’s Drug Store It’s 11:15 a.m. on a Saturday morning and grill cook Lex Mitchell stares at 17 slugburger orders just 15 minutes after the downtown Corinth business opened its grill for lunch customers. “It seems like it always picks up on Saturday,”

adds Mitchell, who manages the grill alongside his wife, Debbie. By noon, Mitchell and two helpers were frying up 30 of the burgers and there are no more available seats. Most customers get the burgers the traditional way, but Borroum’s also offers a “dressed” option — lettuce, tomato and

mayo. Burgers are just $1.75 and it comes with a side of Lay’s chips. Borroum’s secret lies inside the freezer, where burgers are patted out thin, frozen and not dropped into the oil until the customer places the order. “We don’t cook ‘em until the order is placed,”

says Mitchell as he gently drops a burger into the oil. The mix was ordered from Rickman’s. Mitchell admits the slugburger is the draw. “We have people come in just to try them,” he says. “They come from all over the country.” Getting a dose of the Corinth slugburger experience is Rick McNeely of Sikeston, Mo., a friend of local minister Nelson Hight. Although Hight has dropped over 100 pounds and still faithful to his low-carb diet — he orders a famous Borroum’s allbeef burger with no bun — the Corinth man just had to bring his friend. “Wow!”, says McNeely after taking his first bite. “What is it?” Hight makes a slug joke — the locals do that a lot — before revealing it’s a meat, flour, soy type mix. “It’s really good. I love the crunch,” says the first timer. “That’s the selling point.” Slugburger history actually takes a back seat at Borroum’s, the oldest drug store in continuous operation and in the same family in Mississippi and perhaps even the entire country. Circa 1865, the drug store has been in operation for 147 years and owned by the same family. “That’s my motivation, to keep it going,” says Mitchell, who began helping out in the family business when he was eight or nine years old. He has helped manage the grill portion since 1999. Mitchell builds and remodels homes, but come lunch time, he’s around the grill. His mother, 86-yearold Camille Borroum Mitchell, is still a practic-

The 25th Annual Slugburger Festival will be held in downtown Corinth on July 12-14 with a carnival, beer garden, nightly quality entertainment, Slug Idol Contest, professional eating contest and plenty of slugburgers. “During festival week, it gets serious around here,” said Dees at the White Trolley. “Our business doubles.” Mitchell said the same happens at Borroum’s, while Mrs. Rickman at the meat market said business is “big time” during festival week. “We have a lot of out-oftown folks,” added Dees. “But we also have locals who eat slugburgers during festival week and no other time of the year.” White, director of tourism which financially supports the festival, said the festival has always been a local favorite and continues to draw the culinary traveler looking for a new experience. Orman, president of Main Street Corinth who stages the event, said the festival’s silver slug anniversary promises to be a huge event. The slug idol competitions are Thursday night, July 12, while the Friday night, July 13 entertainment features Jamie Davis and Soul Gravy. Love & Theft, an up and coming country music act, takes the slug stage on Saturday evening, July 14. A first for the festival this year is the Saturday afternoon World Championship Slugburger Eating Contest, where professional eaters throughout the country will see how many slugburgers they can eat in a short timed period. Other visitors, however, will be encouraged to try the first slugburger very slowly for the first time before ordering a second helping ...

Suitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Robert Lee (R.L.) Suitor formed Suitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meat Company in 1914. Bobby soon followed his father in the business after returning from the Air Force in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did everything from slaughtering to cutting meat and going on the road selling,â&#x20AC;? said the 80 year-old as he sat in an old cooler renovated into a office for his wife, Clarice. Today his sons, John and Mark, are in charge of the daily operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really all I have ever known,â&#x20AC;? said company vice-president Mark Suitor. Mark got his start by going to the business after school and wrapping meat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have done a little bit of everything here over the years,â&#x20AC;? added John. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started here and just stayed.â&#x20AC;? Suitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has changed dramatically after halting its slaughtering end of the business in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, we would butcher 200 head a week,â&#x20AC;? said Bobby Suitor. According to Suitor, people would be lined up to bring pigs and cows in most days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be like people waiting to get in Walmart today,â&#x20AC;? he said. R.L. Suitor took on partners along the way. The business was once King, Savage and Suitor then King and Suitor before becoming Suitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meat Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember going with Carl King and selling sausage to the stores,â&#x20AC;? said Bobby Suitor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We carried the sausage around in a covered number two tub.â&#x20AC;? Bobby not only returned to the family business, but he brought a new bride with him. He met Clarice in Omaha, Neb. as a medic with the

They later married and came back to Alcorn County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love this place,â&#x20AC;? said Clarice who will be married to Bobby 60 years in October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a happy life.â&#x20AC;? While her husband would be on the road marketing the product, Clarice would take care of four children while also making sure things were running smooth at the business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What she said was it,â&#x20AC;? said her husband with a smile. The couple are quick to point out the importance of their employees to the venture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of good employees,â&#x20AC;? said Mrs. Suitor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone does their job and they do it well.â&#x20AC;?

Ackerly, who drives 30 miles every day from McNairy County to work at

the company just outside of Biggersville on County Road 516 in Rienzi, started out on a band saw before moving to sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all wear many hats around here,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Felecia, â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeps the place goingâ&#x20AC;? says the elder Suitors. She has been with the family company for 31 years, starting out as a meat wrapper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started down here just before John and I got engaged,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love my job.â&#x20AC;?

Bobby Suitor and his grandsons have kept the family business of Suitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meat Company going since it was started in 1914 by R.L. Suitor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we buy a lot of our products,â&#x20AC;? said Bobby. Customers can enter the front door and get anything from meat products to frozen vegetables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not just a meat

NEMCC Continuing Education Program More courses are being offered now than ever before BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

More courses are being offered now than ever before through the continuing education program at Northeast Mississippi Community College. This is thanks to demand from the public, said Phyllis Colson, Director of Continuing Education/Workforce Project Manager at NEMCC. “Basic Self Defense for Women and Firearm Safety for Women came from public demand after the Price family tragedy in New Albany (where a gunman shot and killed a woman and wounded her husband in their home). “Additionally, technology and social media are always associated with public demand,” she said. Northeast is now known statewide and nationally for its advancement in Apple Technology, Mac computer labs, iPads in the classrooms, E-Books and iTunes U. “As the equipment and use of it grows in our programs, the knowledge is then shared through continuing ed classes for business and industry, individuals, teachers and economical development groups,” Colson said. Continuing education courses are varied, handson, very informative, instructor lead, short-term and low cost. Courses are targeted toward professional development, personal enrichment and personal growth,” she said. Professional development provides certification courses to refresh, advance or enter a new field of employment. Such courses include Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Certified Nurse Aide (C.N.A.), First Responder, Part-Time Reserve Officer, Radiology for Dental Assistants and ServSafe, to name a few. Personal enrichment includes such classes as cake decorating, exercise, dancing, stained glass and drawing. Personal growth included classes geared toward computers, software and “new and hot” technology. Examples of some class costs are: cake decorating, $50; computer classes, $30 to $45; firearms, $75; and basic self-defense, $35. “We are always working and searching to provide training in the new fields of technology for employment and personal use,”

The Rev. Ann Fraser Female priest loves serving at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church BY CATHY WOOD For the Daily Corinthian

Three years ago, when Louisiana native the Rev. Ann Benton Fraser interviewed for the rectory at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Corinth, she felt an easy connection with both the town and the congregation. St. Paul’s returned the favor. “I was on the search committee,” said St. Paul’s member Jan Grady of Corinth. “We asked her to do a service for the committee, and I was so impressed with the message she brought. She just stood in front of us and blew us away with one of the most delightful talks we’d heard. She touched us all deeply.” Fraser, 31, and her husband, Andrew, equally were delighted. “St. Paul’s is a small church, with around 50 members, but it’s a place where you will get loved and cared for and where you can learn to live with love. We felt that as soon as we walked in,” Fraser said. “It’s a place to proclaim the message that God promises all things new in Jesus Christ.” Plus, Corinth impressed them with its attractive downtown and lived-in feeling – although, admittedly, it was smaller than the city from which they were moving: New York, where Fraser was in a twoyear mentoring program for newly ordained clergy at St. James’ Church. The couple was living near St. James’, on Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side, in a 400-square-foot apartment (“We had to leave our couch on the curb when we moved in be-

Ann Fraser, standing near a butterfly garden planted by a Sunday School class and under the historic bell tower from another St. Paul’s church location, came to Corinth in 2009 as an Episcopal priest. cause it wouldn’t go through the door,” Fraser said, laughing, and taking every opportunity to enjoy living in one of the world’s greatest cities. But as Fraser’s time in the St. James’ program was ending, she and her husband wanted to return to their native South. “With college and seminary and then New York, we felt as if we’d been moving for years,” Fraser said. “We wanted to land someplace where we could unpack and throw away the boxes.” Three years later, the Frasers – along with their daughter, Susanna, age 1 – feel at home in Corinth.

And it’s clear that St. Paul’s congregation feels the same. “She’s one of the youngest clergy person we’ve had and one of the best preachers,” said Grady, a member of St. Paul’s for almost 50 years. “She’s outstanding in her wisdom and insight — she amazes me with her sermons. She has subtle wit and brings humor in, she teaches and imparts historical knowledge and she gives you a faith message, all in one. She’s soft-spoken and even-keeled and yet stands up for herself and for us.” Tana Daniel, of Corinth, was searching for a church

home when she joined St. Paul about a year ago. “I’d heard good things about the church and Ann, and when I met her, I felt as if I’d known her all my life. She’s a wonderful listener, and she encouraged me to think about my spiritual journey before she brought up the Episcopal Church,” Daniel said. “She didn’t pressure me. She feels that everybody has to find their own way. Her faith shows through everything, whether she’s preaching or talking. She wakes up your mind and spirit, and she’s made all the difference in who I am.”

Arch Bulllard, of Corinth, a 15-year-member of St. Paul’s, agreed. “She’s not only a super lady, but she’s simply brilliant. Her Biblical scholarship is remarkable, and she has great emotion in her sermons,” he said. “We’re a small church in a limited area but have been so fortunate with the quality of our priests, and Ann continues the line.” As the father of two daughters – one in high school and one in college – Bullard said he appreciated Fraser’s influence on young women. “Having her in the pulpit, I would agree, provides my two daughters with access to the gospel from a different perspective. I find it refreshing that both of my daughters attend church on a regular basis, in part because of Ann,” he added. Being a female in the male-dominated ministry hasn’t proved much of a problem for Fraser. “I’ve encountered very little bias, except for a few little bumps every now and then,” she said, noting that although women were allowed to be Episcopal priests in 1976, it wasn’t until 30 years later that a woman was named to a parish staff in Fraser’s home diocese. “The Episcopal Church is not fear-based. We are not asked to agree but only to stay in a relationship with each other,” she said. “Besides, Jesus Christ brought change. If we hold on to nostalgia, we’re missing an opportunity to see what God’s vision is for us.” Fraser first thought about the ministry when she worked as a counselor at the Episcopal camp in

Louisiana she had attended as a child. “I loved being a counselor. I loved being in a role where I could help everyone feel valued and loved and make them feel that they mattered,” she said. “Then I started thinking, ‘How can I do this thing that I enjoy and feel I’m good at?’ I had great mentors who encouraged me. My dad was so excited when I told him I wanted to go to seminary, and my mother is one of my strongest supporters. Even my grandparents, who probably wouldn’t say that they agree with women being priests, put that aside when it’s their granddaughter. They’ve all supported me.” After earning a bachelor’s degree in public relations from Louisiana State University, she entered the University of the South’s School of Theology, in Sewanee, Tenn., earning a master of divinity in 2007. From there, she and her husband went to New York and then, in 2009, they came to Corinth. And has she accomplished at St. Paul’s what she wanted to three years ago? “My first job when I got here was to listen and watch and see where the Holy Spirit was already,” she said. “Then, we talk about what gifts we bring to the table. St. Paul’s is where you can rest and heal and reenergize before going out into the world. We are blessed to be a blessing, and love is our guiding ethic.” (A downtown Corinth resident, Cathy Wood is Daily Corinthian columnist and story contributor.)

Taylor Jersey Farm Couple runs one of last family-owned dairies in Northeast Mississippi BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

Nestled in the hills of Prentiss County far off the main road and far from the hustle and bustle of city life, a local couple is continuing a family tradition and helping feed America with one of the last surviving familyowned dairies in Northeast Mississippi. Carla and Bradley Taylor are the owners and operators of Taylor Jersey Farm near Marietta where they live and work on the farm Bradley’s parents purchased the same year he was born. The couple milks approximately 80 cows each day and maintains a total herd of approximately 100 adult cows along with a large group of young heifers who aren’t old enough for milk production yet. There was never any doubt for Bradley about going into the family business. “I guess I really never left here. I didn’t know what I else I would do. Nothing else feels right to me,” he said. He and Carla met through participation in dairy farming organizations and lifelong mutual friends in the business. Carla has also been surrounded by the dairy business her entire life, growing up on a familyowned dairy farm in Wisconsin. Her path back to the farm was not always as certain, however. As she grew up she began to see the benefits of the smalltown, farm life and decided that she wanted her children to grow up with the same kind of life she did. “I didn’t always see myself going back to the farm, but I realized the older I got that was what I wanted to do and what I was meant to do,” she said. The couple has three young sons, Lee, Carl and Holden, and as her middle son swings on nearby swingset under the watchful eyes of Bradley’s parents, Royal and Martha Taylor, she says she can’t imagine any other life for her and her family. “Our children have literally never been in daycare and have only had one person who is not a blood relative watch them. If one of us doesn’t have them, then my inlaws have them,” she said. The family’s life is centered around the farm where they live and work. Each day they milk the cows in the morning and afternoon. In between the hours are filled with chores including feeding, moving the cows out to pasture and back in and the numerous other jobs big and small that come with operating an active farm. Bradley said they grow just enough hay on the farm to supply the needs of their herd when there isn’t enough grass available for grazing, but they try to keep they cows out to pasture as much as possible. Milk from the farm is picked up several times a week and trucked to a plant in Hattiesburg where it is typically sold throughout the southern and eastern United States under a variety of labels. The Taylor’s farm is part of a large cooperative of small to medium sized dairy farms known as Dairy Farmers of America that pool their resources to market and distribute their products. He said he’s seen a big decline in the number of

Bradley Taylor looks over one of the large milking machines used to collect milk from his herd. dairy farms in the region throughout his lifetime, a decline he said is based in large part on the fact that the South is a difficult place for cows to produce milk. “It’s just so hot and dry,” he said. He’s also seen a shift to much larger farms and away from the smaller scale operations that were once the norm in this area. He said it’s actually a myth that dairy farming is in decline. “There are still just as many dairy cows in the United States as there has ever been, but they’re concentrated on larger farms,” he said. Production has also shifted to the north and west, but Taylor said he believes that is slowly starting to change with the increasingly high costs of fuel and transportation. Producers are starting to see a financial benefit in moving production closer to the market where the milk will be sold. “I think this is the first year Southeast production has actually gone up,” he said. Farming is a tough job with unique responsibilities and the dairy farmer said it’s not for everyone. He said people who haven’t lived and worked on a farm have a hard time understanding the lifestyle. “Folks don’t understand that it’s an everyday deal. We milk twice a day, every day. You’re always on call. Somebody’s got to be here,” he said. He recalled a recent conversation about the farm with a non-farmer. “A guy asked us recently what you do if there’s a foot of snow on the ground,” said Bradley with a laugh. “You go to the barn. What do you do if its 100 degrees outside. You go to the barn.” For the farming couple, however, they wouldn’t have their lives any other way. As products of farming families, they say they understand the unique life lessons they gained from the way they grew up and they want their children to learn those same lessons. “It’s something both Bradley and I grew up learning to do at an early age and we want our kids to do it too because it teaches them so much responsibility and good work ethic,” said Carla. “They have to understand that we are responsible for these cows and we have to take care of them just like we take care our kids. The cows depend on us to be fed and taken care of just like a toddler does. They can’t take care of themselves.” Both said they would encourage their kids to go into the family business if that’s the path they choose as they get older. “It’s been good to us,” said Carla. “It’s a good life.”
