ACHS parents rally around Coach McCay BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A group of concerned parents is still seeking answers from the Alcorn School District about the non-renewal of high school football coach Jim McCay’s contract. More than 20 concerned individuals along with McCay met Thursday evening to discuss the issue. It received attention again at a special meeting of the Alcorn School District Board of Trustees Friday afternoon. For legal reasons related to McCay being a first-year employee, the school district said in a board meeting on Monday that it cannot discuss the coach’s non-renewal. However, on Friday, district officials said
there could be some leeway for discussion if McCay provides a signed statement waiving his privacy rights. “We’ll allow y’all to set up an appointment with Mrs. Smith, and he can invite the people he wants to be there,” said Board President Randy Wilbanks. Parents had suggested that Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith meet with the students. She said McCay was notified in a letter of the reason his contract will not be renewed. McCay, who led the struggling Golden Bear high school football team to one win this season, said in Thursday night’s meeting that he has been placed on paid administrative leave and has no choice but to look
for other jobs. But “I want to coach here next year,” he told the group of parents. Without naming the source, he said in January he was told that it was considered a conflict that he was dating an individual whose son was playing on the football team. On April 20, he was notified by phone that his contract would not be renewed. He said he was advised that it would be best for his future if he resigned. “I wrote a letter of resignation and thought about it for a day,” said McCay. “I said, ‘No, this isn’t right. I’m withdrawing my letter of resignation.’” Last week he sent a letter to the superintendent and school

board notifying them that he has not retained legal counsel and requesting answers about the reason he is being let go. It was stated in Thursday’s meeting that attorney Danny Lowrey represented McCay on a volunteer basis at Monday’s meeting of the school board. Parents are frustrated that they have not received specific answers about McCay’s nonrenewal from school district officials. Leigh Turner said students like the coach and want to know why he cannot come back for a second year. Some are threatening to quit the team if the coach does not return. “Legally, you’re right,” she told the board. “You don’t have

Corinth Police Department personnel present at Thursday’s afternoon driving session included Officer Matt Wood, Officer Ken Edmonds, Detective Fred Serio, Lt. Landon Tucker, Officer Nick Walden and Detective Heather Glass.
Officers participate in driving training BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Police Department wrapped up a session of drivers training on Thursday. The course was comprised of morning classroom sessions at the Justice Center and afternoon driving challenges at Crossroads Arena.
“We’re constantly working to update our training and skills,” said Capt. Chuck Hinds, the director of training. “And it’s not just about pursuit — we spend a lot of time on defensive driving, how to protect the public and still be able to do our duty.” Much of the training on the driving course focused on the
techniques of making turns. In the slalom course officers drove through turning gates placed 45 feet apart. In the cloverleaf course, the drivers were required to navigate the course without touching their breaks, using only throttle and steering. Please see DRIVING | 10A
to tell us nothing. But morally, why can’t we get the answers that we need for our kids?” She said the situation is “hurting Central as a school.” The parents presented a petition on Monday and have discussed picketing in support of the coach. McCay’s non-renewal comes at a time when parents say the football program is generating new enthusiasm at the school. “Year before last, we had just enough to play football,” James Jackson said Thursday night. “If somebody got hurt, we were through. This year, we got 40 kids. How did we get those? By word of mouth and a coach that got in there and tried to get the kids to play ball.”
The popular use of cell phones has added another item to the list of things for teachers and administrators to keep an eye on in the classrooms. Administrators with the Corinth School District and the Alcorn County School District have various ways of trying to police student’s cell phones in the school buildings. Dr. Lee Childress, superintendent of the Corinth School District, said it is common for young people to have cell phones now and school officials just try to make sure they do not interfere with classroom instruction. “We have to realize this is the way a lot of students communicate today either verbally or through writing messages,” said Dr. Childress. “We (administrators and teachers) want to make sure the students are paying attention in the classroom and we have security in the assessment of tests.” Wayne Henry, assistant superintendent of schools in Alcorn County, said all schools in the county follow the same protocol for the use of cell phones and electronic devices. “Our students are not allowed to use their cell phones

Boys and Girls Club employees honored BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Ronald Edmond has two jobs. His heart belongs to the one with the Boys & Girls Club. It’s that kind of affection for the club that earned Edmond the Magnolia Chapter of Mississippi Part-Time Professional of the Year. “Ronald is so committed to the club,” said unit director Christy Grice. “He makes a lot of sacrifices at home just to be here.” The 1990 Corinth High School graduate, who also works at Auto Parts Manufacturing in Guntown, has been part of the club the last seven
years. “I love the club,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where you are if the kids see you, they treat you as some kind of a superstar.” Edmond has really been busy since the arrival of Grice last June. He has worked with the youngsters on such projects as the Scarecrow Contest and Angel Prayer Breakfast. It was the breakfast event, where he played the part of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and sang during the Christmas program. “I give Ms. Christy a lot of credit,” he said. “She makes you think outside the box.” Growing up, Edmond didn’t think of the club as being that
big. He has since changed his mind. “I really enjoy working with the kids,” said Edmond. “Some times you don’t think they are paying attention to what you are trying to tell them, but they really are.” His main advice to kids is to stay in schools. “Factory life is okay, but if I had to do it over I would have went back to school and finished what I started,” said the part-time club employee. “Getting an education is something I want them all to do.” Those one-on-one talks are important for a child, accord-

The assistant superintendent said some county students are volunteer firemen and the county system has a plan in place for contacting them. “I’ve talked to the fire chiefs and they are supposed to contact me, if one of our students is needed by the fire department,” said Henry. “I will then contact the students.” If a student is caught
using their cell phones, discipline varies from the city schools and county schools. A student in the city schools will lose their phone for five days for the first violation. The second offense would have their phone taken for 10 days and the third offense would result in the loss of their phone for the rest of the school year. There is no monetary fine. If a student in the coun-
ty system is caught using a cell phone, the penalty can be a loss of the phone for six weeks or a fine of $20. The fine goes into that school’s activity account. Henry said each school can spend the money in its activity account at its own discretion. The money can be spent for example on sports, for paper or for other school supplies. Please see CELL | 3A

“I know social media is very popular with our students and is a way of life for them,” commented Henry. “We just want to make sure we have their attention in
the classroom.” Both systems allow teachers to use their cell phones during their planning periods or break times during the school day. “We do not want our teachers to be on the cell
phone during instructional time,” said Dr. Childress. “I do think it helps them to have a cell phone at school, especially in the case of an emergency.” Dr. Childress said that some phones have
educational applications and could become good tools for future use in the classroom. He pointed out the phones can access the Internet and could provide a more interactive approach to education.
Today in History Today is Sunday, May 20, the 141st day of 2012. There are 225 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On May 20, 1712, the first version of Alexander Pope’s satirical mock-heroic poem “The Rape of the Lock” was published anonymously in Lintot’s Miscellany. (Pope later revised and expanded the poem.)
On this date: In 1799, French author Honore de Balzac (oh-nohr-AY’ duh bahlZAHK’) was born in Tours, France. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act, which was intended to encourage settlements west of the Mississippi River by making federal land available for farming. In 1902, the United States ended a threeyear military presence in Cuba as the Republic of
Cuba was established under its first elected president, Tomas Estrada Palma. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, N.Y., aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France. In 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. (Because of weather and equipment problems, Earhart set down in Northern Ireland instead of her intended destination, France.) In 1939, regular transAtlantic mail service began as a Pan American Airways plane, the Yankee Clipper, took off from Port Washington, N.Y., bound for Marseille, France. In 1942, during World War II, the Office of Civilian Defense was established. In 1959, nearly 5,000 Japanese-Americans had their U.S. citizenship restored after renouncing it
during World War II. In 1961, a white mob attacked a busload of Freedom Riders in Montgomery, Ala., prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order. In 1969, U.S. and South Vietnamese forces captured Ap Bia Mountain, referred to as “Hamburger Hill” by the Americans, following one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. In 1970, some 100,000 people demonstrated in New York’s Wall Street district in support of U.S. policy in Vietnam and Cambodia. In 1985, the FBI arrested John A. Walker Jr., who was later convicted of heading a spy ring for the Soviet Union.
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush said he wouldn’t budge toward easing restrictions on trade and travel with Cuba until Fidel Castro’s government took steps to hold free
and fair elections and began to adopt meaningful economic reform. FBI Director Robert Mueller (MUHL’-ur), addressing district attorneys meeting in Alexandria, Va., said it was inevitable that suicide bombers like those in Israel would strike the United States. East Timor became the first new sovereign nation of the millennium. Paleontologist and author Stephen Jay Gould died in New York at age 60. Veteran Los Angeles TV newscaster Jerry Dunphy died at age 80.
Five years ago: President George W. Bush welcomed NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer to his Crawford, Texas, ranch, to review strategy on a flurry of issues. Gunman Jason Hamilton took his own life following a rampage in Moscow, Idaho, that killed three victims, including his wife. A pair of investment firms agreed to acquire Alltel Corp. in a deal worth $27.5 billion.

Guest Column
2012 Legislative Session wrap-up BY NICK BAIN The 2012 Regular Session of the Mississippi Legislature brought many historic changes to the Magnolia State. For the first time since 1976, there would be a new governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house, all taking office for the first time. And, for Corinth and Alcorn County, there was a new representative for the first time in 28 years. I discussed in my previous columns some of the bills that I authored and presented on the house floor. I will now briefly try to discuss some of the new laws that were passed during this 2012 Legislative Session. Family Protection Several measures were enacted to help make Mississippi a safer place to raise a family. I am proud to say a bill Speaker Philip Gunn asked me to co-author passed the legislature and was signed by Gov. Phil Bryant. The bill was HB16, the Mississippi Child Protection Act of 2012, which requires health care workers, members of the clergy, educators, law enforcement agents, and child care providers to report alleged or suspected sexual abuse against children. Significantly, the bill requires retention of DNA evidence for use in potential criminal prosecution of sexual predators. Abortion rights were addressed this session in a variety of bills. HB1390 requires all physicians performing abortions in clinics to be certified OBGYNs and to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. I voted for the bill because I felt any person performing an abortion should be a certified OBGYN and should have access to a local hospital in case a medical problem arises. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Bryant on April 16. Education As the husband of an educator and a product of public schools, improving education remains a top priority for me as your state representative. I was honored to serve on the House Education committee and I believe major strides were taken during the 2012 session to improve Mississippi’s educational standings. The charter school debate garnered the most publicity for the 2012 House Education Committee this Session. Going into the year, many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle seemed to agree the chronically underperforming public education system in Mississippi needs a major face lift. However, not everyone agreed on the best method to use in revamping the system. Party lines did not necessarily dictate opinions on this issue as serious discussions commenced at the capitol. Ultimately, though, a decision was made to postpone any further action on charter schools during the 2012 regular session. After years of hearing about school district consolidation, I along with other members of the legislature, took action by combining the administrative operations of the three struggling schools in Sunflower County and authorizing the appointment (as opposed to the election) of a school superintendent. The measure will save more than $1 million by combining the administrations of the underperforming Drew, Sunflower and Indianola school districts. Under a separate measure, I supported a bill that would reduce Bolivar County’s school districts from six to three. No schools will be consolidated under either measure; rather, the administrative functions of school districts will be combined. One education bill I am especially proud of is the Diabetic Alert Dog Bill. I presented this bill in the House Education Committee and on the House Floor. This new law allows for a child or licensed school employee, who has purchased a dog that detects low blood sugar, to have the dog on the school campus. (Further descriptions of new bills passed into law during the 2012 Legislative Session will continue in next Sunday’s column. Nick Bain is state representative for District 2, representing Alcorn County. He can be contacted at: email nbain@house.ms.gov or 662-287-1620.)

‘Calico Joe’ evokes memories on drive STARKVILLE — The new “small” novel “Calico Joe” -- John Grisham’s muchanticipated paean to the game of baseball -- was the perfect traveling companion on a long drive from Mississippi to Fayetteville, Ark., to witness my niece’s graduation from the University of Arkansas last week. The 9-hour drive to the northwest corner of Arkansas first across the deltas on both side of the Mississippi River and then up the rocky ridges of the Ozarks offered time to enjoy the book after I located an unabridged copy of the book on CD. Grisham, the former Mississippi lawyer/legislator who once dreamed of a career as a college and professional baseball player, has written about sports before. In 2003, Grisham’s novella “Bleachers” explored the complicated relationship between high school football and small towns -- and between loyal and courageous players and driven, demanding coaches. The character Neely Crenshaw -- the faded, jaded Messina High Spartan quarterback -- is one of Grisham’s most ambivalent literary creations.
In 2004, Grisham’s screenplay for the film “Mickey” was produced and Sid Salter released as a vehicle starColumnist ring Harry Connick, Jr. The screenplay examined integrity versus the “win-at-all-costs” mentality of sports against the backdrop of the Little League World Series. Grisham would say he gained inspiration for his writing from his experiences as a Little League coach. In 2007, Grisham’s ‘small’ novel “Playing for Pizza” was released. The book recounted failed NFL quarterback Rick Dockery’s journey of self-discovery after being drummed out of the NFL and forced to “play for pizza” in the Italian Football League. Despite the fact that “Calico Joe” is indeed a concise novel, it is in truth no “small” book. As one who has followed Grisham’s career since the days he was selling copies of his first novel “A Time to Kill” out of the trunk of his car, this
book is without question one of his best works. Driving across rural Arkansas through hardscrabble towns like Marvell and Brinkley and seeing pristine small baseball fields where the dreams of Little League and high school players live and die, Grisham’s novel came to life. The fictional story of Joe Castle’s childhood in real-life Calico Rock, Ark., and of his storybook journey from the minor leagues to dominating the majors in 1973 as a 21-year-old rookie first baseman for the Chicago Cubs is one that is captivating for anyone who has ever played the game at any level. Grisham’s book focuses the intersecting trajectories of Cubs rookie Castle’s meteoric rise in the majors and the personal and professional fall of veteran New York Mets pitcher Warren Tracey. The confrontation comes during one fateful at bat on one fateful pitch – a beanball that is life-changing for both the batter and the pitcher – and the epic tale is told by Tracey’s gentle son, Paul. “Calico Joe” is a wonderful book that begs to be
made into an iconic movie. Not since Robert Redford and director Barry Levinson adapted Bernard Malamud’s 1952 baseball novel “The Natural” into a film of the same name has a baseball story deserved an appropriate Hollywood treatment. Driving through Grisham’s Arkansas -- as I have driven so many times through Grisham’s similar Mississippi -- I remembered for the first time in a long time the joy that baseball brought to my rural life and the value of the lessons I learned playing the game. I remembered the joy of my best day ever in baseball -- July 16, 1969 -- when I hit two grand slams in one Little League game in Florence. After that unlikely game, I signed the baseball I twice hit over the fence for my father. He kept it for the rest of his life -- a ball worth nothing but a sweet memory of a fleeting triumph. Baseball’s like that -- as Grisham reminds us in “Calico Joe.” (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
Facebook is the time-wasting network “If time be of all things the most precious,” Benjamin Franklin said, “wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.” But he had never heard of a status update. Facebook is the world’s foremost purveyor of information you shouldn’t care about. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is to uselessness what Henry Ford was to the automobile. He has mastered it on an industrial scale and is riding it to a vast fortune. At more than $100 billion, the valuation of Facebook equals the annual GDP of Morocco or Vietnam, countries that don’t top anyone’s list of economic powerhouses, but do actually produce some things of value. Can 900 million people, the roughly one-eighth of the planet that uses Facebook, be wrong? If they are passing around photos of pets in party costumes, telling us whether they are having a good or bad hair day and playing the farming simulation game “FarmVille,” the answer is, “Why, yes they can!” Facebook has transformed oversharing from an annoying habit of the poorly socialized into the very stuff of daily interac-

tions. No thought is too banal, no event too minor, no mood too passing, no Rich photo too Lowery embarrassing to be National posted on Review Facebook. One of great self-regarding egotists of all time, the late author Norman Mailer, might have blanched at the unrelenting self-exposure of it. Facebook has been a boon to employers vetting prospective employees and to divorce lawyers looking for incriminating evidence. Once, taking vodka shots out of the bellybutton of your friend at the bar at 2 a.m. might have been an illconsidered caper to laugh about the next day. Now the photo may well end up on your “timeline.” In the world of Facebook, everyone is his or her own personal TMZ. None of this is to slight Zuckerberg, who saw the potential of an online network enabling mostly meaningless interactions and conceived, marketed and grew it with the genius touch of a truly inspired en-
trepreneur. He is as audacious as he is brilliant in the tradition of the great American businessman. Anyone who saw the movie “The Social Network” surely prefers that this outsider with a hoodie rules our digital world rather than the overdog Winklevoss twins, his Harvard rivals who went on to row in the Olympics and claim he stole their idea. It’s not that Facebook has no redeeming value. It brings together people with similar interests who wouldn’t meet otherwise, and is a powerful organizing tool, in causes ranging from high-school re-unions to Middle Eastern revolutions. And, oh yeah, it reminds you of friends’ birthdays. This is all to the good. Yet Facebook is overwhelmingly the ephemeral chasing the trivial. The “like” and “poke” functions have an appropriately grade-school feel. (It’s hard to believe that Facebook once grew its business on the basis of its supposed cool.) The designation “friend” is often a poor simulacrum of the real thing. In a notable Atlantic magazine cover story, Nicholas Carr asked, “Is Google making us stupid?” Compared with

Google is the entry point to a world of news and information beyond what leftovers your old college roommate is eating for dinner tonight before taking her papillon, Princess, for a walk. The T.S. Eliot line “distracted from distraction by distraction” could have described the temptations of 21st-century social media. Other technologies -- the telephone, television, email -- have had the same double-edged capacity to enable work and bring people together, or fritter away time on nonsense. Facebook tilts toward pure distraction, which is one reason a pall of doubt hangs over its post-IPO future. About half of people in one poll say Facebook is a fad. Mark Zuckerberg is mentioned in the same breath as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, but his product is considerably more vaporous. The threat to Facebook will always be the advent of some new and even more alluring way to waste time. (Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

State Briefs Associated Press
Vicksburg churches switch affiliation VICKSBURG— After a yearlong discussion, three Vicksburg-area Presbyterian churches were given approval to switch affiliations from the Presbyterian Church (USA) to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The Vicksburg Post reports church officials said Friday that First Presbyterian Church of Vicksburg, Yokena Presbyterian and First Presbyterian Church of Port Gibson were given the green light for the switch. The move came after the Presbytery of Mississippi, a governing body for the Presbyterian Church (USA), ap-
proved the request for withdrawal on Thursday at a meeting in Ocean Springs.
High court to review sexual battery case JACKSON— The Mississippi Supreme Court will hear an appeal from a conviction and life sentence handed down in a sexual battery case in Union County. Johnny Young Jr. was found guilty of three counts of sexual battery by a Union County Circuit Court jury in 2009. He was sentenced to serve three life sentences. The state Court of Appeals upheld Young’s conviction last year. The
Supreme Court agreed this week to hear the case. Prosecutor say the victim was under 14 years of age. Young had claimed the trial judge was wrong to allow certain evidence to be used at trial. He says also claimed prosecutors didn’t prove his guilt.
Grant Library getting official designation JACKSON — Mississippi State University is hoping a new Ulysses S. Grant presidential library will make the school a focal point for researchers and tourists interested in the Civil War. The Ulysses S. Grant Association plans to an-

nounce its dedication of the library at its 50th anniversary meeting this weekend at the Starkville campus. The association’s executive director, John Marszalak, said the library will help to set the record straight on one of the nation’s most mythologized leaders. “I’m a great believer in the idea that as historians we have an obligation to the general public to present an accurate history of the United States and our country,” said Marszalak, a professor emeritus at MSU and Grant expert. “He’s gotten such a bad rap over time. It’s totally inaccurate and filled with
mythology.” Grant was the Union commander during the final years of the Civil War. The collection of Grant’s papers is currently housed at the Mitchell Memorial Library. In the past, researchers and members of the public could look at artifacts, but, unlike other presidential libraries, there was no exhibition space. On Friday, the association was holding a ribbon cutting ceremony for the library’s first exhibit. Plans are under way to build an additional floor specifically dedicated to the collection and exhibits. Northeast Mississippi is home to a number of
Civil War battlefields, and MSU hopes the new library will become a nexus of Civil War related tourism. Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to begin the practice of preserving papers for a presidential library. Previous presidents’ papers were often held privately or disseminated to various collections. Marszalak said the Ulysses S. Grant Library has most every important document related to the president, either in original form or as a copy. Marszalak hopes that by connecting the public to Grant through his own words, a new legacy will emerge.

Man suing Flagstaff is now its mayor Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A Flagstaff man who is suing the city is now its mayor. The Arizona Daily Sun reports 63-year-old Jerry Nabours was elected mayor Tuesday night. The retired attorney beat City Councilman Al White by 320 votes in the
Nation Briefs

vote-by-mail election. With more than 10,000 votes cast, turnout was about 39 percent. Nabours says his victory is a validation of his conservative fiscal vision for Flagstaff. He has criticized White’s policies as a waste of taxpayer money as well as the city’s public-private
partnerships. Nabours is suing Flagstaff over an ordinance that requires property owners to pay for repairs of city-owned sidewalks. He initiated the suit in 2009 after receiving a $5,000 bill for a sidewalk in front of an apartment building he co-owns.

Bush to return to White House for portrait event on May 31 WASHINGTON — Former President George W. Bush plans to return to the White House for the unveiling of his official portrait later this month, marking a rare visit by the two-term president who has largely shunned the spotlight since leaving office. The White House and Bush's office said Bush and former first lady Laura Bush will return to the White House on May 31 for the release of their portraits. Bush has avoided politics since he left office in January 2009. The portrait ceremony will be his first visit to the White House in more than two years. Bush appeared with President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton at the Rose Garden following the devastating Haiti earthquake in January 2010. The Republican former president accompanied Obama last year to New York's ground zero on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Bush spokesman Freddy Ford said the couple was “looking forward to seeing a lot of their friends from the administration and they are grateful to the President and First Lady for their hospitality.” Obama criticized Bush's economic and foreign policy record during his 2008 campaign and has said that Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney would help restore the policies that preceded the economic collapse at the end of Bush's presidency. But in their appearances together, they have maintained a presidential protocol. In New York last year, Obama and Bush ran their hands over bronze panels bearing the names of victims listed on the Sept. 11 memorial. Following the earthquake in Haiti, Obama called Bush and Clinton “gentlemen of extraordinary stature” who would marshal financial resources to help the country recover. The Bushes bought a home in Dallas and have been working on the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which is scheduled to open in 2013. Bush's portrait unveiling was first reported by The Dallas Morning News.

SpaceX rocket launch aborted in last half-second in Florida CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A new private supply ship for the International Space Station remained stuck on the ground Saturday after rocket engine trouble led to a last-second abort of the historic flight. All nine engines for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roared to life Saturday morning. But with a mere half-second remaining before liftoff, the onboard computers automatically shut everything down. So instead of blasting off on a delivery mission to the space station, the rocket stayed on its launch pad amid a plume of engine exhaust. Even NASA's most seasoned launch commentator was taken off-guard. “Three, two, one, zero and liftoff,” announced commentator George Diller, his voice trailing as the rocket failed to budge. “We've had a cutoff. Liftoff did not occur.” SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said that high combustion chamber pressure in engine No. 5 was to blame and that technicians would conduct an inspection later in the day. If the engine needs to be replaced, a spare is available. Tuesday is the earliest that SpaceX can try again to send its cargo-laden Dragon capsule to the space station. The California-based company — formally known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp. — is targeting every few days for a launch attempt to save fuel in case of rendezvous problems at the space station. Wednesday also could be a launch option.

former pariah state also known as Burma. Obama says the U.S. is rewarding democratic progress in Myanmar with announcement of the first U.S. ambassador in 22 years and an easing of investment restrictions. Obama's comments on those developments came in a statement issued by the White House. Obama says opening up greater economic engagement will help support reformers and speed development. He pointed to the parliamentary election of opposition figure Aung San Suu Kyi as a prominent example of progress. But Obama says the U.S. remains concerned about a closed political system and human rights issues in Myanmar. The U.S. is retaining sanctions on individuals accused of human rights violations.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — In recognition of its commitment to reliability and quality, Averitt Express was recently presented with a 2011 Outstanding Performance Award from Chevron Lubricants. According to officials from Chevron Lubricants, only carriers that demonstrate high performance and safety standards are considered for the award.
Averitt maintained a pickup and delivery score of greater than 90 percent, while also receiving strong safety survey results, which included zero accidents. “Customers rely on us to move their shipments on time, on target and intact, and to do so with safety and security as top priorities,� said Mike Wise, Averitt’s vice president of corporate accounts. “We consider it an
honor just to partner with fine companies like Chevron Lubricants, and performing well enough to earn this kind of recognition makes our relationship even more special.� The Chevron Lubricants 2011 Outstanding Performance Award is one of several honors Averitt has received from customers in the past few months. Earlier this year, Averitt was named Walmart’s
2011 LTL Carrier of the Year, while adhesive and school supply maker Elmer’s Products recently presented Averitt with its 2011 Carrier of the Year award. Now in its 41st year of service, Averitt Express is a leading provider of freight transportation and supply chain management with international reach to more than 100 countries.

New Tennessee database aids job searchers Staff reports
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Karla Davis have announced a new jobs database to help connect job seekers with Tennessee employers. Jobs4TN Online is a virtual recruiter, automatically notifying job seekers when jobs they may qualify for are posted and notifying employers when candidates who fit their needs register. The online database contains positions from job orders placed directly by Tennessee employers, from corporate Internet sites, and from major job search engines. Jobs4TN Online also identifies available green jobs.
“The unemployment rate for Tennessee is at its lowest since November 2008 and has fallen below the national rate, but it is still too high,� Haslam said. The governor committed to developing a new jobs database during his gubernatorial campaign. “With Jobs4TN Online, those without a job will have quicker and better access to job openings related to their skills, and as we work to make Tennessee an even better place to expand and start a business, we want to help employers find the employees they need.� Jobs4TN Online makes available labor market information, including demand occupations, education requirements and salaries
for positions, labor force projections, and training program graduates. Information can be tailored to focus on specific communities, metro statistical areas or statewide. Employers and job seekers are encouraged to log in to Jobs4TN Online at www.jobs4tn.gov. “This system is much more than a traditional job search engine,� Davis said. “Jobs4TN Online offers extensive information for interviews, lists of local training providers, and the capability to create and send resumes.� The state’s previous job search site, the Source, included job orders received by Tennessee Career Centers and jobs listed by Fortune 500 companies.
Jobs4TN Online uses a more robust search that provides first-run jobs from newspapers, government sites and private job boards, and the amount of jobs listed in Tennessee has gone from 30,000 to more than 85,000. Jobs4TN Online can be accessed anywhere with a computer and Internet access. Tennessee Career Centers across the state have free computer resource rooms with guidance on job searching. For anyone not comfortable with using a computer, referrals can be provided in person at the center once they have registered for services.

Unemployment aid applications stay at 370,000 BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits was unchanged last week, suggesting modest but steady gains in the job market. The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly unemployment aid applications stayed at a seasonally adjusted 370,000, the same level as the previous week. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell from roughly 380,000 to 375,000. Applications for benefits surged in April to a five-month high of 392,000. They have fallen back since then and are near the lowest levels in four years. The decline suggests hiring could pick up in May after slumping in the previous two months. When applications drop below 375,000 a week, it generally suggests hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate. “Although another decline would have been preferred, the results weren't that bad,� said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, in a note to clients. “It does raise the possibility that we may see a pickup in hiring in May.� Investors didn't react
much to the unemployment claims report, economists said. Stock markets are more focused on the Europe's financial crisis. Worries that Greece might have to exit the euro bloc drove stocks lower Thursday. Still, Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at BTIG LLC, said investors will likely be disappointed the coming weeks if applications don't fall further. “You'd like to see 350,000 or less to become convinced that monthly employment gains will accelerate,� he said. A measure of future U.S. economy activity fell in April after reaching a three and a half year high in March. The Conference Board, a business research group, said that its index of leading economic indicators dipped 0.1 percent last month to 95.5. Before the recession began, the index regularly topped 100. Another report showed that manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region contracted in May, as companies received fewer new orders and cut their staffs. The unemployment rate has fallen from 9.1 percent in August to 8.1 percent last month. Part of the reason for the drop
is that employers have added a million jobs over the past five months. But it has also declined because some people gave up looking for work. The government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively looking for a job. The pace of hiring slowed sharply in March and April, to an average of 135,000 jobs per month. That raised fears that the job market is weakening. But economists have cautioned that a warm winter led companies to move up some hiring and accelerate other activity that normally wouldn't occur until spring. That gave the appearance that the economy had strengthened in January and February and weakened in early spring. And temporary layoffs stemming from spring holidays likely pushed unemployment benefit applications higher in April, economists noted. If applications stay where they are or fall further, job growth should pick up. The gains may not match those from earlier in the year, when the economy averaged 252,000 jobs per month from December through February. But several economists said they expect somewhere in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 new jobs each
month. A jump in job openings supports the notion of stronger hiring in the coming months. Employers advertised 3.74 million job openings in March, the most since July 2008. It usually takes one to three months for employers to fill openings. “Rising job openings and relatively flat new filings for unemployment benefits do not point to any underlying slowdown in job creation and we would expect, therefore, a pickup in May from April's rather subdued pace of employment growth,� said John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros, analysts for RDQ Economics, in a note to clients. The number of people on the unemployment benefit rolls is falling steadily, largely because many states are ending some extended benefit programs. The number of recipients dropped by almost 150,000 to 6.3 million in the week ended April 28, the latest data available. Other signs suggest the economy is strengthening after its early spring lull. Home construction rose to near a three-year high in April. And factory output has risen in three of the year's first four months.
Group buys Dippin’ Dots Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Investors from Oklahoma City have completed their $12.7 million purchase of Dippin' Dots LLC, a move that lifts the company from bankruptcy and carries the promise of expansion. The transaction closed Friday. The company will continue to be headquartered at Padacuh, Ky., where 165 employees work. The maker of the flashfrozen ice cream pellets, which are sold at stadiums, amusement parks and arenas, engaged in protracted litigation to protect its patent and ran into financial trouble. Company founder Curt
Jones of Brentwood, Tenn., will act as chief executive officer. The Oklahoman reports Scott Fischer will be Dippin' Dots' president. Fischer and his father, Mark Fischer, are the primary investors in the company. Mark Fischer is CEO and co-founder of Oklahoma City-based Chaparral Energy. Scott Fischer says the company plans to expand from 1,600 sales locations to 2,000 and will use the highly-recognizable brand to expand sales to other countries. “The acquisition process went smoothly,� Scott Fischer said. “Dippin' Dots is an outstanding brand.�

CHS’ Johnson claims 2 golds BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Double J doubled up at the Class 4A State Track Meet. Corinth’s Jaynesia Johnson claimed the county’s lone gold medals, winning both the shot put and discus on Monday. The discus title was the third straight for the Lady Warrior junior. The Lady Warriors finished tied for fifth with Tylertown with 50 points. Perennial power Pontotoc claimed the final meet with 96.5 points. The Warriors, the two-time defending Class 3A champions, finished tied for 15th after moving up a class. Randy Hill’s fifth-place showing in the discus led the 11-point effort. ■ In last Friday’s Class 3A event, the Alcorn Central girls finished 12th with 17 points. Allissa Ann William’s fifth in the pole vault paced the club. The Bears tallied five points, all courtesy Forrest Crumby in the 1600. The Kossuth girls finished No. 18 with 10 points. Clarissa Turner provided the majority of that with a silver in the discus. The Aggies finished 17th with 13 points, highlighted by Brad Roach’s bronze in the pole vault. ■ The Biggersville Lions finished 18th in the 1A event with 10 points. Dexter Stafford provided seven of those, including a bronze in the 110 hurdles. BHS failed to bring home a gold medal in any event, ending a consecutive run of 25 years.
BY BLAKE LONG For the Daily Corinthian
JACKSON — Facing elimination, Kossuth took advantage of a big inning just as Southeast Lauderdale did in its Game 1 win to extend its season one more game. A nine-run fourth inning was all the Aggies needed to claim Game 2 of the Mississippi High School Activities Association’s Class 3A state championship series, winning 9-3 over the Tigers at SmithWills Stadium Saturday afternoon. Kossuth won the coin flip postgame and will be the home team for Game 3, which will be played Monday at 4
p.m. The nine-run frame for the Aggies (25-7) was the culmination of their game plan against Southeast Lauderdale starter and Dandy Dozen product LeDarius Clark. “We did what we were wanting to do and that was work his count, get him behind and see what would happen and not swing at bad pitches,” Kossuth coach Daniel Threadgill said. The plan worked as Clark (7-3) and two other Tiger pitchers walked six batters and hit two more in the first four innings of the game. Josh Whitaker and Tyler Nelms both singled to begin
the fourth for Kossuth. After David Gibson walked, Blake Nethery hit a chopper that was booted by Southeast Lauderdale third baseman Cody Shirley to score two runs. The floodgates opened after the error. Clark hit the next batter and was relieved by Josh Litchfield. John Mitchell greeted him with a 2-RBI single to up Kossuth’s lead to 5-1. Two more walks loaded the bases before Whitaker cleared them with a double down the left field line that made it 9-1. “It put a point on (the inning),” Whitaker, a junior, said. “I knew it was over at that point.” Nathan Ross relieved Litch-

A record 182 participants registered for Saturday’s 2nd Annual Mango Madness Trail Run 5K. The runners/walkers -163 of which completed the cross-country course used by Corinth High School -- were welcomed at the 8:30 a.m. start by 68-degree weather, although race founder Larry Mangus noted it did warm up. “It was a great turnout with some very nice individual performances,” said Mangus. “The Corinth High School Cross Country Team’s Booster Club appreciates the wonderful community support for this event.” Clayton Allred, one of the team captains on CHS’ 2012 cross country team, claimed the male championship with a time of 18:16. Other Warriors in the Top 10 included Jordan Mills (4th), Will Crigger (5th), Dennis Dilworth (7th), and Austin Martin (8th). Amy Chandler of Corinth was the ladies’ champion with a finish of 23:37. The next nine places -- Holley Marshall, Yvette Evans, Anna Ruth Price, Hannah Rogers, Mary Wayne, Hollie Wood, Kelsey Fulghum, Macy Moore and Katie Jones -- were occupied by members of the Lady Warrior program.

Thrower scored later in the inning on Mason Irby’s single to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. However, Gibson (9-1) calmed down and got Colby Ramey to hit into a fielder’s choice to end the inning and leave the bases loaded. “It was amazing honestly,” Gibson said. “It was a big sigh of relief.

Randall Delgado struggles against Tampa Bay Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.— Randall Delgado was done in by too many walks. Alex Cobb won his first start of the season, Matt Joyce hit a grand slam and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Atlanta Braves 5-2 on Saturday. Delgado (2-4) lasted just four innings, allowing four runs, three hits and five walks. After Tampa Bay loaded the bases on a pair of a walks and a single in the third, Joyce put the Rays up 4-2 when he sent a 2-0 pitch from Delgado over the center-field fence.
“I was looking for the double play,” Delgado said. “I tried to keep the ball down, but it caught the middle and he hit it.” Delgado threw just 43 of 84 pitches for strikes. “His stuff was there,” Braves catcher Brian McCann said. “Today was just one of those days where he couldn’t locate as well as he wanted.” The five walks were a career high. “It was a learning start for him,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “Just fell behind hitters. When you’re
dealing with a young kid, there’s going to be times like this.” Cobb (1-0) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. He retired his last 10 batters. Cobb was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday night to take the place of Jeff Niemann, who is on the 60day disabled list with an injured right leg. The 24-yearold righty went 3-2 in nine starts for Tampa Bay last season. Joel Peralta pitched the eighth before Fernando Rod-
ney got the final three outs for his 13th save. The Braves had scoring chances in each of the first four innings, but Cobb induced two double-play grounders. “We kind of let him off the hook I think there early,” McCann said. “Then he fell into a rhythm and he got ahead of everybody after that. The fourth inning, he started really pounding the zone, really trusting his fastball.” Braves third baseman ChipPlease see DEGADO | 9A
I’ll Have Another wins Triple’s 2nd leg in Preakness Associated Press
BALTIMORE — I’ll Have Another did just that, winning another Triple Crown race with even more flash and dash than he did in the Kentucky Derby. By bolting past Bodemeister — again — this time in Saturday’s Preakness, all that stands in the way of racing glory is the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. Win that and the smoothstriding 3-year-old will find himself in the company of Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed, the last to win thoroughbred racing’s most coveted prize in 1978.
That’s heady company for a colt who has yet to be favored in any of his seven races. That should change in the Belmont. “We’re thinking Triple Crown, baby,” elated winning trainer Doug O’Neill said. “He’s a special horse. We’ll see how he comes out of it, and if he comes out of it in good shape, we’re heading to New York, baby.” I’ll Have Another won by 11⁄2 lengths in the Derby and by a neck in the Preakness — the same margins Affirmed posted in wins over rival Alydar in those two races 34 years ago.
But there’s one big storyline difference this time: Bodemeister is skipping the Belmont. “He’s getting off the bus here,” trainer Bob Baffert said. The 1 3-16-mile Preakness unfolded the same way as the 11⁄4-mile Derby, with the speedy Bodemeister moving to the lead under Mike Smith and I’ll Have Another hanging back in fourth in the 11-horse field. The early fractions were slower than the Derby, but when it came time for Bodemeister to dig in, it was I’ll Have Another who found another gear under young jockey Mario Gutier-
rez and surged past the tiring pacesetter in the shadow of the wire. Since Affirmed became the 11th Triple Crown winner, 11 horses have won the first two legs only to come up short in the 11⁄2-mile Belmont, the longest of the races also known as the “Test of the Champion.” The most recent try came in 2008, when Big Brown was pulled up around the turn for home and did not finish. Before that, Smarty Jones was run down in the final 70 yards by Birdstone in the 2004 Belmont. Please see PREAKNESS | 9A

tended the Rays’ advantage to 5-2 on a sixthinning solo homer. Juan Francisco had an RBI single and Eric Hinske hit a sacrifice fly as the Braves took a 2-0 lead in the second. “You felt like you were in the game the whole time, you really did,” Gonzalez said. The Rays threatened
during the second, but Braves right fielder Jason Heyward caught Will Rhymes’ fly ball and then threw out Carlos Pena, who tried to score from third. Rhymes returned to lineup after missing two games with a bruised right forearm. He was hit by a pitch on Wednesday, fainted af-
ter walking to first base and had to be driven off the field on a cart. NOTES: Braves LF Martin Prado went 0 for 3, which snapped his 10-game hitting streak. ... Delgado has given up two grand slams this season. The other was hit by Arizona’s Gerardo Parra on April 22. ... Tampa Bay 3B
Evan Longoria (partial tear left hamstring) increased his agility work on the infield while fielding grounders before the game. ... Atlanta RHP Tim Hudson (2-1) and Tampa Bay LHP David Price (6-2) are Sunday’s scheduled starters. Hudson has a 7-1 career mark against the Rays.
He is contesting another. “We know we play by the rules,” O’Neill said. “It’s all about the horse, and we’re just going to focus on the horse.” I’ll Have Another has made a habit of close calls. Before the Triple Crown began, the chestnut colt won the Santa
Anita Derby by a nose over Creative Cause. As usual, owner Paul Reddam wasn’t sure his colt would come through this time. “I didn’t feel confident we were going to get there until 10 yards from the wire,” Reddam said. “I wasn’t sure that we would get there, but
I knew that our horse had a lot of heart and a lot of fight.” With a record crowd of 121,309 watching, I’ll Have Another was sent off as the second choice at 3-1, with Bodemeister the 8-5 favorite. The winning time was 1:55.94. I’ll Have Another paid
$8.40, $3.80 and $2.80. Bodemeister returned $3.20 and $2.80, and Creative Cause paid $3.60 to show. Zetterholm was fourth, followed by Teeth of the Dog, Optimizer, Cozzetti, Tiger Walk, Daddy Nose Best, Went the Day Well and Pretension.

DRIVING CONTINUED FROM 1A
The training is focused on skills the officers will need while serving within the city limits. With the stop-and-start nature of driving in the city, Hinds explained, there are fewer instances of high-speed driving. The driving courses also help the officers get a feel for their vehicles.
“It lets them understand the car will do what they need it to do,� Hinds said. Another segment was the backing course, in which officers had to navigate through a series of gates entirely in reverse. Approximately 50 percent of all law enforcement officers’ non-emergency wrecks happen while backing up, Hinds
explained. The classroom portion was primarily focused on policy — department policy in relation to emergency driving in pursuit, state statutes, constitutional tort and the civil liabilities officers can face from misuse of equipment. It also included instruction in vehicle dynamics and training in vehicle maintenance.

Internet site claims ‘No matches nationwide!’ BY JIMMY REED Columnist
When I got suckered in by an Internet company’s advertisement guaranteeing it matches lonely people with loving soul mates, I learned what Mark Twain said is true: “There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy. This is a superstition. There are times when the appearance of it is worth six of it.” I logged on to the web site, and read this message: “Our search for your perfect mate will succeed only if your answers are totally honest.” Not a problem, I thought. I never lie, except when lying is a virtue, as it is when talking to politicians, with whom you must lie, since they cannot comprehend truth. After answering questions concerning age, race, employment status, religious beliefs, health, hobbies and so forth, the questions began focusing on my psychological and emotional characteristics. Question: “Are you gentle in dealing with others, or do you tend to speak your mind, regardless of how your words might impact people?” Well, I’d be lying if I described myself as gentle; I’m only gentle with Loretta, my pickup, with whom
I’ve had a love affair for 20 years and 360,000 miles. She is the only woman in my life, and unlike other females, never says no. I answered truthfully: “I’m not always gentle in dealing with others.” My daughters say my bluntspoken nature is my worst fault; I think it’s my chief virtue. Surely, I thought, some lovely lady floating around in cyberspace would appreciate my honesty on this point. Question: “Are you even-tempered, or do you blow your top easily?” Reminding myself honesty will lead me to my perfect mate, I confessed I have a sometimes uncontrollable temper, as many of the college students I teach have learned the hard way. Question: “Do you consider your ideology to be liberal, moderate or conservative?” This question was a no-brainer. I was raised by parents who ingrained in me the honest conviction no one is entitled to anything he doesn’t earn, and since liberals think everybody is entitled to everything, whether he earns it or not, I’m definitely not a liberal. And I’m certainly no moderate. People who profess to be moder-
ates are hypocrites; straddling the fence provides a cowardly way to side with or oppose whatever issues come along. The honest answer is, I’m a gun-loving, Bible-thumping, deep-South, ultra-conservative. Not once did I stray from the truth in providing answers, and finally my personality profile was complete. Then I answered the last question: “Do you affirm that all information provided is accurate?” I affirmed. A message popped on the screen telling me to click the send button to initiate a search of the company’s database. My excitement mounted as I waited to learn who that perfect companion would be -- a loving mate with whom I could share my dotage. Instead I was e-humiliated. Mark Twain was right. My answers should have had the appearance of honesty. A message flashed on the screen: No Matches Nationwide.

Alice Prussia has painted a magnolia for every resident at Dogwood Plantation.
‘She has a gift’ 83-year-old hosts art show at assisted living facility BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Alice Prussia has always wanted to paint. The 83-year-old loved art so much, she took a class at Northeast Mississippi Community College after retiring at the age of 60. “I think about painting all the time,” she said sitting in the family room at Dogwood Plantation. “I try to paint the perfect painting every time.” Several pieces of Prussia’s work will be displayed as the assisted living facility has scheduled an art show for her today from 2-4 p.m. “She has a gift,” said assisted living facility owner DuJuana Thompson. “Ms. Alice doesn’t come out much, but I enjoy going to her room and talking with her about painting.” Prussia got her introduction into painting when she was 6 years-old. She and her husband, Leo, went on to raise a family of three girls and a boy before she got a chance to pick up her love. She retired after 25 years in the insurance business and at Long Wholesale. “Once my family didn’t require my attention any more, I started painting,” she said. “She really concentrated on fulfilling the ambition she had early on in
life,” said Corinth Artist Guild founder James “Sonny” Boatman. “Alice is a painter who has evolved through different kinds of objects.” Boatman says the artist at one time got tired of painting at home and bought another house down the road so “she could eat, sleep and paint.” The painter paints “anything that makes people happy.” She loves for her pieces of art to have color and she spent many times painting her children “when they were little and I had control over them.” “She has painted a magnolia for every resident here,” said Thompson. “I have had trouble fitting in wherever I go, so I wanted them to feel at home,” said Prussia of the reason for the magnolias. Prussia has been a strong supporter of other artists by taking part in auctions and buying other pieces of art. “She is a very generous lady,” said Boatman. “I try to encourage it,” she said. “We lose so much when we don’t have art.” Prussia is also slated to have a small collection on display at the gallery from May 22-31. “I don’t know how talented an artist I am, but I love to talk about it,” she said.
Alice Prussia has painted many things over the years, one being her dog Babe.

Thousands of poorly-marked graves were dug around Corinth.
What happened after ‘Yankees’ left town? BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
Want to know about the Battle of Corinth? Piece of cake, there are plenty of books and other sources to tap. Likewise with the May of ’62 Siege of Corinth. Though it certainly has not been given the attention as such places as Gettysburg or even Shiloh, the history of Corinth during the war years has been pretty well documented. The early Confederate organization of troops, the siege and battle, the lengthy occupation by the Federals, it has all been painstakingly researched and written down. Up to a point, that is. Though little is written about it, military activity did not end when the Union left Corinth on January 24, 1864. It just took a short pause. Six days after the Federals pulled out, the Confederates returned to Corinth, ending a 20-month absence. Battery Williams (site of the modern Long Distribution warehouse) was reoccupied and six cannon were sent from Mobile to guard the tracks of the Memphis & Charleston railroad. A small garrison of about a thousand men made the city their temporary home. Citizens who had left Corinth during the Federal occupation began to return to their homes as
Both sides became experts at destroying the railroads around Corinth. well. What they found was a far cry from the beautiful town they had left two years before. The city was a veritable cemetery with thousands of soldiers, Union and Confederate, buried across the landscape. Most of the Union graves had been marked by their comrades and individual wooden markers identified the resting places. Not so for the Confederates. Many of the Southern graves were men who had died of disease and wounds in the days after Shiloh. Other graves on the west side of town held the dead from the battle
of Corinth. In May of 1864 two Confederate officers, Col. H. E. Burnet and Major E. H. Cummins, were sent from Mobile to “identify and protect the resting places” of the Southerners laid to rest in Corinth. Military activity to the south prevented them from accomplishing their mission and the grave sites have been lost to history. The truth was Corinth was no longer the vital railroad hub which had attracted armies and led to battles. The tracks leading into the city were torn up in all four directions. Bridges and culverts were
destroyed. Many of the public buildings were in ashes and the stately Corona Female College lay in charred ruins. Had it not been for the railroads the town would have probably been allowed to fade away and die in peace. But railroads could be repaired and with limited resources the South slowly put the tracks in operation from Mobile to Corinth. Though the armies had moved on, transportation was vital to move grain and other food supplies out from the Black Prairie Region of Eastern Mississippi. By April of 1864 the
tracks were repaired though a lack of steam engines and boxcars limited the use of the tracks in the Corinth area to flat cars pulled by mules. In June locomotives briefly returned to Corinth. An entire division of Alabama cavalry under General Phillip Roddey came to town late in the month in response to a Federal raid moving out from Memphis. On the 28th of June, Major General Nathan B. Forrest set out from Tupelo and rode the train north to Corinth where he inspected the cavalry and sent them south in preparation for the coming battle. Two Union raids were sent into Northeast Mississippi to divert General Forrest from striking out against Sherman’s supply lines in Tennessee. The raids culminated in two battles -- Brice’s Crossroads and Tupelo (also known as the Battle of Harrisburg). The first was a stunning Confederate victory, the other an equally stunning defeat. One of the results of the fight at Tupelo was the destruction of yet another stretch of the tracks leading up to Corinth and it was months before they were again in operation. In the fall of ’64, a flurry of activity on the tracks once again opened the line as far south as Mobile and eastward to Chero-
kee, Alabama. This was in response to the Confederate offensive under General John Bell Hood and the need to supply his Army of Tennessee. The campaign resulted in the disastrous defeats at Franklin and Nashville. The bloodied army retreated to Florence, Ala., across to Corinth and then south to Tupelo. For a brief period, Hood used the Verandah House as his headquarters. Supplies were stockpiled in Corinth, much of it in the Tishomingo Hotel. When the Confederates pulled out of town on January 19, 1865, they burned the iconic hotel lest the supplies fall into enemy hands. The “old” hotel was a mere six years old. The war would drag on for another four months, but for the town of Corinth, once known as “The Crossroads of the Confederacy,” the war was over. For more information come out to the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. The park rangers can provide information about “Cross City” during the war and can help with questions or research about the Civil War in Northeast Mississippi. The Center is located at 501 West Linden Street and is open 8:00 to 5:00 daily. Park staff can be reached at 662-287-9273.
Grave marker finally placed on young sergeant’s resting place Fairfax Washington, 19-year-old Confederate ordnance sergeant, Company F, 38th Mississippi, was seriously wounded in the Battle of Iuka on Sept. 19, 1862. He died Oct. 2, 1862, at the home of the Rev. William McKnight after a leg amputation from wounds received in the battle. The Rev. McKnight, who migrated to Iuka from North Carolina, was a circuit riding Methodist minister and a trustee of Snowdown Methodist Church. His home was across Indian Creek Bridge, facing Mineral Springs Park. He had protection papers from Federal officers for his family while Union forces were in Iuka; therefore he got passes to go in and out of Union pickets. At times, Rev. McKnight boarded Union of-
ficers, and they protected his property. Once he was paid for carRaNae ing for a Vaughn F e d e r a l colonel. Historically However, Speaking Rev. McKnight’s claim for Civil War damages were repeatedly denied until finally after nine years of filing paperwork, he was partially granted the part he claimed for 273 cords of wood stacked by the Memphis & Charleston Railroad for use by woodburning trains. His claim for pork, lard, coffee, soda, sugar, molasses, dried peaches, flour, salt and candles was denied. The Rev. McKnight buried Fairfax Washing-
ton in his McKnight family plot in the Oak Grove Cemetery where it remained unmarked until his sister, Louisa Washington Bell, wife of Claiborne Bell, left provisions in her will, recorded in Harrison County in 1911, for a marker for Fairfax. The receipt for the purchase of the monument was from a monument company in Columbus. At some later date, a local citizen was granted permission to remove Fairfax’s marker to be cleaned. It never made it back to the grave and wound up in Iuka’s water company yard; it was then placed in the Iuka Public Library and from there to Iuka’s old courthouse museum. If Fairfax’s bones could speak, I’m sure they would have a very disturbing tale to tell.
After all efforts to get the marker returned to the burial site failed, Mrs. Irene Barnes, a local genealogist, applied to the U.S. government for a Confederate marker. The paperwork required naming a relationship to the soldier, and when the marker was denied after leaving that portion of the form blank, a second try listed Mrs. Barnes’ relationship as “President of the Iuka Surname Society,” a local genealogical society. The second try was successful, and now the grave of this solider killed at Iuka has a marble monument, compliments of the U.S. Department of Defense. The 130 pounds of gray granite blend well with weathered monuments in the Oak Grove Cemetery, the final resting place for local ances-
tors for over a century. A phone call from a Washington family relative expressed the Washington family’s appreciation for this marker and their concern over what happened to the original. Oak Grove Cemetery’s Fairfax Washington was a first cousin of President George Washington three times removed. A letter from John A. Washington in Chevy Chase, Md., dated June 12, 1986, related the descendants from George Washington’s father down to Iuka’s Fairfax Washington in Oak Grove Cemetery, as follows: George Washington’s father, Augustine Washington (1694-1743) had one brother who survived childhood, an older brother, John Washington (1692-1746), who lived at a farm called Highgate in
Gloucester County, Va., and who married Catherine Whiting. They had eight children, including two sons who grew to manhood. The elder son was Warner Washington (1722-1790), who moved from Gloucester County to that part of Frederick County which has been cut off as Clarke County; there he had a farm called Fairfield. He was, obviously, a first cousin of George Washington, and they were pretty close friends. Warner Washington (1722-1790) married twice, first to Elizabeth Macon and secondly to Hannah Fairfax. He had four children by the first marriage, including a son named Warner (17511829) and eight children by the second marriage, Please see GRAVE | 4B

Ways to catch big bass in the grass Bass are caught from a variety of water depths and from all types of structure, but perhaps no place produces more consistently during the warm weather months than fishing in or near aquatic greenery. Largemouth bass love congregating amongst the green stuff for a number of reasons. Other than the water being well oxygenated, it provides excellent spawning habitat, cover for ambushing unsuspecting prey, and plenty of shade to shield against the sun’s hot ultraviolet rays. There are several lure types that can be used effectively to pluck bass from the grass. Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, weedless spoons and artificial frogs, topwater plugs, and
T-rigged plastic w o r m s will all produce good results, deDavid p e n d i n g Green on the timing of Outdoors the reason and how much the leafy plants have carpeted the surface. In early spring when plants are just beginning to sprout toward the surface, a spinnerbait is always a good choice. The other baits mentioned above, other than the plastic worm, come in a close second. These lures can be used to thoroughly work an area by pulling them around, over, or through the vegetation. Later, as the season
progresses and the water surface become blanketed with the leafy stuff, a Texas rigged plastic worm is hard to beat. Bass are less apt to chase a lure when the weather warms, which makes a plastic worm deadly when tossed into an open pocket or up against the outer edge of the plants. There is a way to get a lure into those tight spots without even making a cast. A proven fish catching technique known as flipping, which has been around for some time but often under utilized, makes it possible to pitch a lure into a precise location effortlessly. Remember as a kid when you stood on the pond bank with a cane in your hand and you pitched your bait toward
fishy looking structure time after time? The technique in flipping for bass is basically the same, except you’ll be substituting the cane pole for a baitcasting reel spooled with heavy abrasion resistant line affixed to a rod of at least six-and-a-half feet, and you will need to use your fingers on your off hand to loosely hold and pull slack line out to the side between the reel and the first rod eyelet in order to guide the lure toward the intended target. The gear mentioned above is essential for making a better controlled pitch and for pulling hooked fish to the boat quickly before they have a chance of getting wrapped up in the jungle. Using a moderate sized
line will almost assure a break-off if a quality bass is hung and becomes entangled. Making the pitch is another critical aspect. The goal is to flip the lure into the water in a manner that causes the least amount of disturbance. Since you’ll be fishing in close quarters, the bass could be easily spooked if not done correctly. Fishermen with little or no experience can master this technique even before hitting the water. One way this can be done is by tying on a small piece of lead onto the end of your line and practice pitching into a bucket set at a designated distance, repeatedly until you get it right. As it is said, “Practice makes perfect.” Fishing for bass in and
around lily pads, reeds or other types of grasses can be frustrating when lures become entangled or when the mess gets wrapped around your trolling motor, but on the flip side, it’s all worth it to the die-hard fishermen because most know bass can be consistently found lurking in those types of places, ready to be caught, all throughout the summer.

family at all. This Fairfax Washington (1802-1883) probably moved from Clarke County, Va., about 1839, to Hinds County and stayed there a while. He later moved to Handsboro, Harrison County, down on the coast. Fairfax Washington (1802-1883), like his father and grandfather, married twice and had a large family. He had 13 children, four by the first wife and nine by the second marriage. His second wife, whom he married in 1838, was Sarah J. Richards (1819-1895), and the third of her children was another Fairfax Washington (1843-1862). This is the 19-year-old Fairfax Washington who is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Iuka.

Spring makes lovely wedding backdrop Special to the Daily Corinthian
(StatePoint) There is no better time to get married than spring -the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and love is in the air. Spring can be the perfect backdrop for your wedding. The timing is perfect, so make sure the rest of the details follow suit. Be sure to pick out cheerful engagement party and bridal shower invitations, as first impressions are very important in setting the mood. A relaxed and graceful outdoor bridal shower is characteristic for the springtime. “Spring weddings are
elegant and beautiful,” said Mariam Naficy, CEO of Minted.com, an online stationery store that specializes in wedding invitations and accessories. “But elegance doesn’t come without the right amount of preparation. It’s an event that will be remembered forever; why not make it as perfect as can be?” Here are some ways to assure your spring wedding lives up to all your dreams. ■ Guest List: It’s important that you and your fiancé come to an agreement on the guest list, as getting bogged down on minor details can slow down other
critical wedding plans. Send out the “Save the Date” as soon as the list is finalized. ■ Invitations: The right wedding invitations will show personality, follow the theme, and express excitement about the couple’s future life together. ■ Colors: Darker hues are for the cooler months. Use light colors like lilac, green, teal and pink pastels to brighten up the ceremony and reception. ■ Outdoor Ceremony: Imagine saying “I do” outdoors on a beautiful day while lovebirds flutter and chirp around you. With the comfort of
your guests in mind, and for a decorative touch, be sure to provide some shade with a gazebo or a trellised awning. ■ Flowers: The scent of gorgeous fresh cut flowers will spruce up any wedding and accentuate that blissful springtime mindset. Be sure the colors match the rest of your décor! ■ Live Music: Having a live band play at the reception will keep the celebration exciting long after you share your first wedded kiss. You found the dream partner. You picked the dream date. Now your dream wedding awaits you.

Fueling car as engine runs takes dangerous risk DEAR ABBY: My father absolutely refuses to turn off the ignition when fueling his car, despite the warning signs at the pump. How can I convince him to stop endangering himself and my mother? -- WORRIED DOWN SOUTH DEAR WORRIED: Motorists are instructed to “Stop Motor� while refueling for good reason. Gasoline is highly flammable. However, it is not actually the liquid that burns. Even at temperatures as low as 45 degrees, gasoline gives off vapor. It is the VAPORS that ignite. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, so when it ignites, it does so at ground level. All it takes to create a violent explo-
sion is fuel vapors, enough oxygen and a source of ignition. Abigail A spark Van Buren from a cigarette, Dear Abby a hot exh a u s t pipe, faulty wiring, static electricity or the vapor reaching an open flame -- all can cause gasoline vapors to explode. Please show this item to your father. Perhaps it will convince him to be more safety conscious. If there is an attendant at the gas station your father frequents, frankly, I am shocked that the person hasn’t insisted your father
turn off the engine. DEAR ABBY: My husband loves to cook and he’s very good at it. Every night when I get home from work, he greets me with a huge meal. Problem is, I feel obligated to eat it even when I’m not at all hungry. Every morning, he asks me what I want for dinner. I prefer my main meal at noon and a very light meal -- or none at all -- at the end of the day. How can I get him to stop cooking for me without hurting his feelings? I know he does it because he loves me, but I feel I am being forced to eat food I really don’t want. -- STUFFED IN SAN ANTONIO DEAR STUFFED: I presume you’re a new
bride, because otherwise you would have already learned how to communicate openly with your husband while still being tactful. Try this: “Honey, you’re killing me with kindness. If I keep eating like this, I’ll have to invest in an entire new wardrobe. My metabolism works better if I have my main meal at noon and very little -if anything -- in the evening, so please help me by not making these large dinners because they’re too tempting to resist.� P.S. If cooking is his creative outlet, why not suggest he go all out once a week and invite another couple? DEAR ABBY: My daughter recently became
engaged to a wonderful young man. I have looked forward to planning her wedding for years. She always said she wanted to be married in our hometown, but now she says they want to get married near where he lives, which is four hours from where I live. I feel she has been persuaded to do this. I’m paying for the wedding and work full-time, and I’m really stressing about planning the dream wedding she wants from far away. Weddings are usually in the bride’s hometown for obvious reasons, but I’m concerned her mind was changed by his family for their convenience. What do I do? -- JUST THE BRIDE’S
MOM DEAR JUST: Have a frank talk with your daughter and ask why she changed her mind. Tell her that you have dreamed of planning her wedding for years, but the change of venue is causing stress for you. Then ask if she would prefer you just give her a check for the amount you can afford, and whether it would be more practical for her to do the planning herself.

trap that can be avoided through honesty, modesty and a down-to-earth attitude. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t want every encounter to be meaningful, and yet in some ways that’s exactly what’s going on today. Your interactions, however casual or lighthearted, matter immensely. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 20). You’ll enjoy visual and emotional harmony in your immediate environment. Several exciting developments will happen over the next six weeks. You’ll benefit from erring on the side of caution concerning finance and trusting new partners. What builds slowly will be strong. May brings a windfall. Love pursues you in May.

There’s only one way to ensure that you’re getting the best deal on the highest quality and in the most abundant quantity available: ask. Those who don’t ask don’t get. And you would be surprised how few actually ask. Asking takes guts. You could be rejected. But those who ask regularly realize that there’s no shame in this because it’s really the question that is rejected, not the person. Expert askers know this, and they learn not to take the nos they receive personally.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Give someone a highfive, and you’ll see how natural it is for people to meet physical intention with an equal and opposite intention. People are naturally inclined to push against whatever is pushing against them. The Aries moon will highlight this principle in our lives. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The opinions of others won’t matter as much as they once did as you become more deeply immersed in your interest. The thrill you get from learning overrides any self-consciousness you once experienced. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will benefit from reviewing the chain of causation that led up to a problem. Your honesty and willingness to look
in detail at what your part may have been will enable you to see a solution. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re game for fun and amusement, and the world seems to know this about you. You will get the chance to practice the spectrum of mirth -- smiling, grinning, laughing and even dancing for joy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In a way, you have to step back in order to get closer. Being too involved in the minutiae will blind you to the true reality. Removing yourself from a scene will help you see it for what it is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even those who usually are quite mellow may seem irritable. Tempers may flare, but they will
ratchet down when you remove yourself from a problem. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Take a break. Ideas won’t come to a stressed-out mind. So do what you can to make yourself more comfortable. What would it take for you to be more at ease with your surroundings? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can’t say “I love you� too much today. There’s someone you know who really needs to hear those words and probably hasn’t heard them in a long while. You’ll lead with your compassion. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t let some idea about yourself get in the way of happiness. Can you prove this idea is the truth beyond a shadow
of a doubt? If you can’t, it’s time to let it go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You might be surprised how hard it is for some people to be happy for others. Your high emotional IQ is apparent in the way you support another person in good fortune without feeling like you wish it were you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). It is natural to pick up mannerisms, sayings and attitudes from people you admire. Sometimes you do this unconsciously, but right now you benefit from consciously picking and choosing what you want to adopt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). One person’s perceived perfection can inspire another person to feel rather flawed. It’s a

Got story? Hollywood builds tales on famous brands BY SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Hollywood is known for snatching up best-selling books and turning them into big-screen blockbusters: “Twilight,” ‘‘Harry Potter,” ‘‘The Hunger Games,” ‘‘The Help” and countless others. But the adaptations hitting theaters last week didn’t need a novel’s characters or built-in narrative, just a well-known brand name. The must-read pregnancy manual “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” has become an all-star comedy romp about the pitfalls of new parenthood. The book is full of helpful advice, “but it’s almost like a medical manual,” said Shauna Cross, who co-wrote the screenplay. “That’s not that entertaining to go and watch.” So the cinematic version, which opened Friday, stars Jennifer Lo-
pez, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid and others in intertwining tales about various experiences of pregnancy, from infertility and miscarriage to trouble-free twins. Also opening Friday was “Battleship,” an action flick inspired by the 45-year-old board game starring Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna. Based on finding a hidden enemy by searching coordinates on a grid, the classic game may be best known to some readers by an old TV commercial in which an exasperated player proclaims, “You sank my battleship!” The film, set during a war games exercise on the Pacific Ocean, shows how the U.S. Navy might respond to an alien attack at sea. “There are certain elements from the board game that lent themselves well to the DNA of
a movie,” said director Pete Berg. “Two enemies trying to locate and kill each other violently is, good god, a movie... The rest is classic creative endeavor.” Coming up with characters and narratives around popular brands that intrinsically have neither one has become business as usual in Hollywood. “With movies costing so much, studios are looking for any kind of a hook that would ring a bell with an audience,” said veteran film critic Kenneth Turan, who writes for the Los Angeles Times. “It’s the same reason why they have all the sequels and things from TV shows and remakes: They’re desperate to ring that bell.” Still, seizing on a popular brand doesn’t guarantee a successful film. The 1985 film version of the board game “Clue” flopped (though it later gained a cult fol-
lowing). But “Transformers,” based on Hasbro’s shape-shifting robot toys, became a multi-billiondollar global franchise. Berg said turning “Battleship” into a movie “was one of the great and really fun creative challenges of my career.” The film has collected $215 million after five weeks overseas. As with “Battleship,” adapting advice books such as “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and Steve Harvey’s 2009 dating guide, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,” requires writers to develop characters and story lines that aren’t in the books. “Think Like a Man,” which topped the box office for two weeks when it was released last month, successfully spun Harvey’s book into a romantic comedy following five couples navigating their relationship issues. “One of the main challenges of an adaptation
like this is the book already has a loyal following,” said producer Will Packer. “All you can really do is mess it up. It’s very tough to elevate it and take it beyond.” The appeal of tapping such a successful book as source material is, of course, that it “potentially has a built-in audience,” Packer said. “It helps you cut through the clutter in a very, very crowded marketplace in terms of the outlets and mediums trying to get attention from consumers.” Still, those who relied on “What to Expect” during their pregnancies won’t really find the book’s advice on screen. “It’s the source material we wanted to include, but there’s so little there that was actually used,” said Heather Hach, who cowrote the screenplay. “It’s not an adaptation in the truest sense, but without this wonderful pregnancy bible that countless wom-
en have consulted, the germ wouldn’t have been there.” Director Kirk Jones said that while some have called adapting the pregnancy handbook “desperate,” anticipating a baby is a naturally funny experience. “Just stop and look beyond the manual and think about pregnancy and that nine-month period: It affects guys and it affects girls in the most extraordinary ways,” he said. “It was really just taking the essence of the book... You’re basically enhancing the brand, because people are already familiar with the title.” Turan, the film critic, expects the trend to continue, whether or not the results are worthy. “This is not about making good movies. It’s about getting people into theaters... Everything else is secondary,” he said. “They might make a movie out of Scrabble.”
Lady Antebellum fetes students in tornado-hit Indiana town BY DYLAN LOVAN Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Grammy Award-winning country music trio Lady Antebellum performed a “mini-prom” for students of a southern Indiana town that was devastated by a tornado in early March. Henryville Junior-Senior High School students won an online contest to bring in the top-selling act, which also is playing a full benefit concert later Wednesday at the KFC Yum Center in nearby Louisville, Ky. At a prom-style party in Louisville’s down-
town arena overlooking the Ohio River, the band surprised the students by playing for them in a private show. Teens in casual clothes cheered and screamed under a disco ball hung over the dance floor. “Each and every one of you have inspired us, and we’re so honored to be here, I know it’s your second prom technically,” said singer Hillary Scott. The band couldn’t play at the high school’s actual prom last month because of a scheduling conflict. Scott and another band member, Charles Kelley, selected two students to
dance with during the short acoustic show. Henryville junior Kelsey Guernsey said she couldn’t believe how close she was to the band. Her home, like many of the students’ houses, was damaged in the March 2 tornado that destroyed the school. She said private concert with the band was a high point of an otherwise tragic year. “It seemed kind of unbelievable because Henryville is so small and we really don’t ever get anything really big like this,” she said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are capable of having many feelings at once, but only the strongest one will compel you to act. That’s why you might go without food or rest in order to get something exciting accomplished. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some people will push your buttons for as long as you let them get away with it. Your ability to set boundaries will save you from being put out by others. Ultimately, it’s what’s best for everyone. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re ready to move to the next level of personal development. You will feel brave, and you’ll also have a new sense of purpose. You will say what you’ve been unable to say: the words that will set you free. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be in a position to get to the bottom of what’s going on between people you know. The person who swallows hard, wears a fake grin or reacts by asking too many questions is lying. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You expect that others will behave as responsibly and honorably as you do. Yet, those words don’t mean the same thing to every person. So it will be important to spell out your expectations in more concrete terms. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll feel reflective. You’ll consider your life as it might appear “on paper.”
It’s as though you were filling out a job application. Let the best of what you’ve done stand out in your mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This day may start out at a lethargic pace, but a mid-morning event will kick you into high productivity. By evening, you’ll be back to living life on the edge, as usual. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your hobby or special interest poses an interesting challenge. You’re uniquely suited to answer the call. The only way to know how far you can go with this is to take off and see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not ready to let others know what you really want, although they probably do already. No matter how you try to conceal your interest, there’s a burning passion underneath the surface that gives you away. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your goals may still take years to achieve. You will get there, provided you don’t lose hope. The leap of faith you take today may seem small, but it’s actually a shortcut that catapults you ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may wake up and find that you don’t want the same things you once did. One of the ways you keep your energy fresh is by allowing your dreams to shift and change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone considers you to be a superstar, and you’re not really seeing yourself as worthy of the title. Dare to give yourself more credit. It’s well deserved.

filmed a video entry for Lady Antebellum’s prom contest, said he was surprised by the private appearance. “When they came out I was ecstatic,” said Griffin. “I saw everybody crowd around the stage so I just ran up there.” Schools as far away as northern Wisconsin submitted YouTube videos on behalf of Henryville, an unincorporated town hit by two tornadoes — one packing 175 mph winds — on a day when storms killed 13 people in Indiana and 24 in Kentucky. Scott, who came up
with the idea for the band to play at a prom, toured Henryville earlier Wednesday. “It was heartbreaking in a lot of ways,” she said at a news conference before the show. “Where there’s so much sadness and devastation there’s hope being built in its place, so that was really inspiring to see.” Scott said the band was moved by what she called the “selfless” entries from other schools, including rival Silver Creek High School in nearby Sellersburg, Ind., which actually was the band’s pick to win the contest but students
there backed the Henryville bid. “That was just such, honestly, an encouraging thing to think that those high schoolers, that generation, they’re that helpless, they want to help each other that much,” she said. “It was definitely an easy decision.” Lady A’s Kelley said the band hoped to lift the Henryville community’s spirits. “We want to just go there and hopefully bring a little joy, meet them, shake their hands, encourage them to try to get through it as best as they can,” the singer said.
