Sales, tourism tax revenues grow BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A strong month for tax collections led to double-digit gains for sales and tourism tax revenue in Corinth. The latest diversions to cities reported by the Mississippi Department of Revenue included a 10 percent increase for sales tax — the fourth consecutive monthly increase for the city — and a 19 percent increase for the 2 percent tourism tax on prepared food and lodging compared to the same month a year earlier. The funds received in midApril reflect sales activity in local businesses during the month of February. The tourism tax result of $87,581.36 is its best April result to date and the first for

Warm 10K breaks registration record BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K run — Mississippi’s second largest footrace — set a new record for runners and was a “fantastic success,” according to organizers. “We are just really pleased. All the comments and remarks were positive, and we had a big crowd for the awards ceremony and the band,” said Mona Grady, who co-organized the event along with Amy Smith. Out of a record 1,366 runners who registered, 1,176 finished the 6.2 mile course within the allotted two hours and fifteen minutes. The previous registration record was

1,326 in 1991. Last year's 30th race now comes in at number three — 1,289. Over the last 31 years of Coca-Cola Classic 10K Run history, 24,568 runners have covered 152,329 miles altogether. Saturday’s race was one of the warmest in recent memory, with temperatures reaching the mid-80s. While no serious heat-related medical emergencies were reported, organizers say the heat was a definite issue — but one they were prepared for. “We had great support from the hospital and fire department,” Grady said. “And we had many great emergency personnel who attended to ev-

erybody very quickly.” The race’s competition was diverse, including runners originally from Kenya and Mexico, and 16 American states. The age range was equally varied, from a 4-yearold all the way up to two 81-year-old participants. The ladies turned out in force —a little over half of the runners were women. Two of the runners, William and Tara Grall, had a special history with the run. It was where William proposed to Tara during last year’s run.

the month to top $80,000. For the fiscal year to date, the tax has generated $561,784.52, a 4 percent increase from the same point a year earlier. The city’s sales tax diversion was $450,513.34, up 10 percent from a year earlier. The seventh deposit of the fiscal year takes the total to $3.12 million, a gain of 2.4 percent from the same point in the prior fiscal year. Cities across the state generally enjoyed a strong month. Sales tax diversions statewide totaled $32.6 million, up 4.6 percent from a year ago. Nine of 11 area municipalities posted gains.

Republicans unite, elect new local leaders BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Northeast Mississippi Republicans and Alcorn County Republicans joined forces at the recent county caucus to form the new Alcorn County Republican Party. The new party formed at the Alcorn County Republican Caucus on Saturday, April 28, at the Alcorn County Courthouse. At the caucus, 16 delegates — chosen by Republicans in each of the county’s voting precincts — elected the leaders for the Alcorn County Republicans. The leaders of the new party are: Mike Stewart - chairman; Charles Seago - vice chair; and Lou Perry - secretary and treasurer. Stewart said the Republican Caucus was one of the biggest

in recent history, with over 300 people participating. In previous years only a handful of people were actively involved. One of the primary goals of the new party is uniting Republicans in Alcorn County, said the new chairman. Stewart also vowed to work with Joe Caldwell and the Alcorn County Democrats, as well as all city and county officials. Another goal of the new party is to conduct its business in a dignified manner without stooping to dirty politics or personal attacks — or getting mired in partisan squabbles. “I want a clean Republican Party,” said Stewart. “I want to reach across the aisle. We can disagree and still be friends.” The public is invited to atPlease see CAUCUS | 3A

Twin authors will speak Saturday at Boys & Girls Club banquet BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

A pair of Kings are slated to speak when a phenomenal woman is honored. The Boys & Girls Club will name its Phenomenal Woman of the Year from a list of 12 monthly honorees on May 12. A reception is set to kick off things at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and the program at 7. Tickets for the event are $15 and can be purchased at the Boys & Girls Club or by calling 662-286-2808. Katherine and Margaret King — co-authors of “y’all twins?” — will be the special speakers for the black tie reception and dinner at the Crossroads Arena. “Both of them are big community supporters,” said Boys & Girls Club Unit Director Christy Grice. “I think they will inspire others to get excited

about serving.” In the 1950s, identical twin sisters got away with everything. Their stories begin in Oxford at age 6 when they hopped a ride on the back of a wagon driven by William Faulkner. The book follows the twins from the first through sixth grade, detailing the kind of antics only twins can share. “All you have to mention is a child is involved in a crisis and they are there with their sleeves rolled up ready to help,” added Grice. Katherine King graduated from The University of Mississippi in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education with an emphasis in mathematics. In 1971 she received a Master’s of Education from The University of Mississippi with an emphasis in guidance and counseling and graduated with

a Master’s of Science in mathematics in 1986 from The University of Mississippi. During her teaching career, Katherine was twice named Star Teacher. In 2005, she received the Headwae Educator of the Year Award, recognizing her as the outstanding teacher at Northwest Community College. In 2008 Katherine was named the Lamplighter Educator of the Year from Northwest Community College. She is currently an Instructor of Mathematics at the Oxford Campus of NWCC. Margaret King graduated from The University of Mississippi in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts in Education with an emphasis in secondary history. In 1973 she started her stint with the federal government as a courtroom clerk with U.S.

The Alcorn Welcome Center will celebrate Tourists/Traveler Appreciation Day on Wednesday, May 9 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. “This is a day the Welcome Center and the businesses in Corinth and the surrounding area can do things to show our travelers how much we appreciate them stopping in Corinth, whether it’s the Welcome Center, stores, service stations, restaurants, shopping, Civil War attractions or wherever they are stopping in at,” said Sherry Brown, supervisor of the Alcorn Welcome Center. “Restaurants donate

and some come in and serve their specialty dishes. Convention & Visitors Bureaus have a chance to come in to promote their town and artists and other businesses can come in and display and meet and greet.” It is a great networking day, Brown said. The appreciation day isn’t limited to tourists and travelers. “Locals are also invited to come out on this day as they are any other day because they are travelers, too. “They may be just leaving their house to go to a store or go to an appointment and when they do, sometimes they stop and

eat, buy gas, grocery shop and/or sometimes they even do a day trip to see some local attractions,” she said. Refreshments will be served and there will be entertainment by the North Mississippi Dulcimer Club on May 9. The average visitors per day who sign in on the daily register is approximately 350. During some summer months the largest count was around 790 in one day. “In the summer months we have had some days that we have catered to four to five busloads coming in and or traveling through,” she said. The center keeps track of the different zip codes of

each visitor. “For 2011 we captured approximately 80,000 zip codes,” she said. “Hopefully we will capture more in 2012.” The Welcome Center has a new electronic kiosk in the test phase now where travelers can sign in on the keypad and sign up for an e-tourism newsletter if they wish to. Daily counts will be available electronically to the Jackson office at any given time.

Commentary

One of best men never elected governor STARKVILLE — Like Republican Tupelo businessman Jack Reed Sr., Democratic businessman Micajah Purnell “Mike” Sturdivant was one of the best men Mississippi voters never elected governor. Sturdivant died this week at the age of 85 at his home on the Due West Plantation in Glendora. Sturdivant, a highly successful Delta planter and millionaire businessman, made two unsuccessful bids for MissisSid Salter sippi’s Democratic Party gubernatorial nomination. Columnist In the 1983 gubernatorial campaign, Sturdivant placed third in the Democratic gubernatorial primary behind eventual Gov. Bill Allain and former Lt. Gov. Evelyn Gandy. But Sturdivant came roaring back in 1987 in the last great political Pier Six brawl for the Democratic Party’s gubernatorial nomination between eventual winner Ray Mabus, Maurice Dantin, John Arthur Eaves, Gilbert Fountain, Ed Pittman, H.R. Toney, former Gov. Bill Waller, and Sturdivant. In 1987, Sturdivant made the Democratic Party’s second primary in a showdown with fellow Harvard graduate Mabus. It’s the only time in Mississippi history that two Harvard graduates fought over the privilege of leading Mississippi’s executive branch of government. The 1987 showdown with Mabus was a bare-knuckle affair. Despite Mabus’s substantial family wealth, the high profile state auditor framed the contest by lambasting Sturdivant’s status as a plantation owner and accused him of misrepresenting jobs creation numbers from his far-flung hotel management business as jobs all being created in Mississippi. Sturdivant hit back, accusing Mabus of being the darling of Wall Street bond brokers who had made sizeable contributions to his campaign. In putting his personal wealth where his mouth was in the campaign, Sturdivant spent between $1.3 and $1.6 million of his own money in the race against Mabus. That fact led to editorial cartoons lampooning Sturdivant as holding a campaign fundraiser at his own breakfast table attended only by his wife — which hurt his campaign. When the dust settled, Mabus soundly defeated Sturdivant in 1987 by taking 466,883 votes or 64.6 percent of the vote to 255,622 for Sturdivant. Mabus carried 76 of 82 counties. On the evening of that defeat in 1987, Sturdivant said: “To those of you who were disappointed in tonight, remember that the dreams that unite us are greater than the differences of opinions that sometimes separate us.” In retrospect, the 1987 Mabus campaign accusation that Sturdivant represented “oldtime politics and old-time politicians” was grossly unfair and inaccurate. In his business practices, Sturdivant was courageous on matter of civil rights at a time when it was unpopular and dangerous to show such courage. Sturdivant, his uncle, and Sturdivant’s former Harvard roommate Earle Jones built a magnificent company in the hotel management industry called Mississippi Management Inc. They opened their first property in 1956 -- the Holiday Inn in Meridian. It’s was the state’s second hotel to integrate. That decision bought Sturdivant and Jones no small amount of criticism and intimidation, but they stayed the course. Today, MMI owns, manage or serves over 20 hotel properties and manages dining services for over 100 locations in U.S. and has a track record as one of Mississippi’s best and most responsible corporate citizens. Far from an “old-time politician” as branded by Mabus, Sturdivant was indeed a remarkably enlightened businessman, a tech-savvy farmer, and gifted public servant who just happened to be a pretty poor retail politician.

Reece Terry publisher rterry@dailycorinthian.com

Labor unions reveal a cynical process Labor unions, like the United Nations, are all too often judged by what they are envisioned as being -not by what they actually are or what they actually do. Many people, who do not look beyond the vision or the rhetoric to the reality, still think of labor unions as protectors of working people from their employers. And union bosses still employ that kind of rhetoric. However, someone once said, “When I speak I put on a mask, but when I act I must take it off.” That mask has been coming off, more and more, especially during the Obama administration, and what is revealed underneath is very ugly, very cynical and very dangerous. First there was the grossly misnamed “Employee Free Choice Act” that the administration tried to push through Congress. What it would have destroyed was precisely what it claimed to be promoting — a free choice by workers as to whether or not they wanted to join a labor union. Ever since the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, workers have been able to express their free choice of joining or not joining a labor union in a federally conducted election with a secret ballot.

As workers in the private sector have, over the years, increasingly voted to reThomas ject joining Sowell labor unions, union bosses Hoover Institution have sought to replace secret ballots with signed documents -- signed in the presence of union organizers and under the pressures, harassments or implicit threats of those organizers. Now that the Obama administration has appointed a majority of the members of the National Labor Relations Board, the NLRB leadership has imposed new requirements that employers supply union organizers with the names and home addresses of every employee. Nor do employees have a right to decline to have this personal information given out to union organizers, under NLRB rules. In other words, union organizers will now have the legal right to pressure, harass or intimidate workers on the job or in their own homes, in order to get them to sign up with the union. Among the consequences of not signing up is union reprisal on the job if the union wins the election. But phys-

ical threats and actions are by no means off the table, as many people who get in the way of unions have learned. Workers who do not want to join a union will now have to decide how much harassment of themselves and their family they are going to have to put up with, if they don’t knuckle under. In the past, unions had to make the case to workers that it was in their best interests to join. Meanwhile, employers would make their case to the same workers that it was in their best interest to vote against joining. When the unions began losing those elections, they decided to change the rules. And after Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, with large financial support from labor unions, the rules were in fact changed by Obama’s NLRB. As if to make the outcome of workers’ “choices” more of a foregone conclusion, the time period between the announcement of an election and the election itself has been shortened by the NLRB. In other words, the union can spend months, or whatever amount of time it takes, for them to prepare and implement an organizing campaign beforehand — and then suddenly announce a deadline date for the decision

on having or not having a union. The union organizers can launch their full-court press before the employers have time to organize a comparable counter-argument or the workers have time to weigh their decision, while being pressured. The last thing this process is concerned about is a free choice for workers. The first thing it is concerned about is getting a captive group of union members, whose compulsory dues provide a large sum of money to be spent at the discretion of union bosses, to provide those bosses with both personal perks and political power to wield, on the basis of their ability to pick and choose where to make campaign contributions from the union members’ dues. Union elections do not recur like other elections. They are like some Third World elections: “One man, one vote — one time.” And getting a recognized union unrecognized is an uphill struggle. But, so long as many people refuse to see the union for what it is, or the Obama administration for what it is, this cynical and corrupt process can continue.

College, loans and the road to success It is something of a truism that whenever the federal government steps in, costs usually rise and efficiency declines. That is especially true when it comes to a college education, which President Obama promised during the 2008 campaign to make more affordable. “We’ve got to make sure every young person can afford to go to college,” he said then. Instead, tuition costs keep rising, along with the debt owed by increasing numbers of graduates, who are now campaigning — with bipartisan approval in an election year — for Congress to stop interest rates on their subsidized Stafford loans from doubling in July. I feel about those with crushing tuition debt the way I feel about people who choose to live along the frequently flooded banks of the Mississippi River. If students and their parents choose expensive schools, they should accept the responsibility and cost accompanying that decision. The federal government has no constitutional author-

ity to require people to receive an education. Education should be the primary responsiCal bility of state Thomas and local entities. TaxpayColumnist ers should not be expected to pay for college tuition when graduates default on loans they agreed to repay. But, today, is all that college debt even worth it? The value of a college education, at least at the more pricey private universities, is declining. An Associated Press analysis of government data found more than half — 53.6 percent — of bachelor’s degree-holders under the age of 25, either couldn’t find a job, or were underemployed last year. The AP story references a 2011 New York Times article reporting that only half of the jobs landed by new graduates “even require a college degree.” A surprising new report from the Pathways to Prosperity Project, based at Har-

vard’s Graduate School of Education, concludes that four years of college may no longer be the best preparation for a job and career. As noted in Harvard’s education magazine, “... we place far too much emphasis on a single pathway to success: attending and graduating from a four-year college. Yet only 30 percent of adults successfully complete this preferred pathway. Meanwhile, even in the second decade of the 21st century, most jobs do not require a bachelor’s.” Thirty percent of new jobs will only require “an associate’s degree or a postsecondary occupational credential,” the report found. It recommends a new direction by broadening “the range of high-quality pathways that we offer young adults. This would include far more emphasis on career counseling and highquality career education, as well as apprenticeship programs and community colleges as viable routes to well-paying jobs.” Another surprising fact that argues against costly

colleges and universities that impose heavy financial burdens on students, parents and government is found in a study conducted by The Wall Street Journal. It discovered “U.S. companies largely favor graduates of big state universities over Ivy League and other elite liberal-arts schools when hiring to fill entry-level jobs.” This sounds like a winwin-win. Attend a far less expensive state school and save money; avoid crushing debt that will take decades to repay; and reduce the burden on taxpayers. What’s not to like? Students and parents should have the right to choose when it comes to college, but if they choose a costly private institution, they should assume the financial obligations that go with that choice. Before choosing, they should look at these studies and consider whether in the long run the supposed prestige and expense of a well-known school are worth the cost.

place their business info by their items or information that they display and this gets them business. “An example is Prayer Pottery of Iuka has their pottery here for display with their cards. A gentleman from Canada traveling came into the Alcorn Welcome Center and saw this and called them, told them he saw their pottery here at the Welcome Center and after we gave him directions to his shop and after he talked to them on the phone, he went and spent approximately $800 there because his mother collects pottery,” she said. Another example is the Welcome Center has pictures on display from the Civil War Interpretive Center and Final Touch. “When travelers and locals come out and see these things they sometimes go to those places to purchase the certain type items, so our displays are a very important part that we play to help the economy with their business. We are very proud of this because the things we do gets people through the door at least.” Brown expressed a special thank you to all busi-

nesses working with the Welcome Center and their donations and coupons to give out. “They are so good to work with and we appreciate their support very much,” she said. Brown wants the businesses and attractions to know the Welcome Center is available to help them promote in any way they can and welcomes them to even come out and promote on a rotating schedule. “Even if it is just a special that they want to promote if they want to send us some coupons to give out to the traveling public and locals who come out, that is great as well. Dinner Bell sometimes gives us coupons for free dessert with purchase. Arbys provides coupons, Pizza Hut, Jacks and Subway also are good to do this. “For History Theme Month the Crossorads Museum of Corinth let us mark 10 percent off in their gift shop on our business cards and when people asked us what there is to see and do in Corinth we would tell them of course about all of our sites but when we gave them the card with the discount that sometimes made them more inclined to go. Again, this type of

thing gets folks through the door.” In addition to National Tourism Day festivities on May 9, the month of May is also “Music Month” at the Alcorn Welcome Center. There is a literature display and special giveaways. Also on May 28, Memorial Day, there will be decorations for the occasion. The Welcome Center observes Monthly Themes each month. The theme in June is “Fun Things for Children to do in Mississippi Month.” June is also Hospitality Month. (The Welcome Center is located at 2028 South Tate Street in Corinth, just off the U.S. 72 exit at the corner of Harper Road and South Tate Street. The phone number is 662-2863443.)

Plaza Lanes joins special needs Disney World trip fundraiser BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Plaza Lanes is hoping bowlers come out and roll a ball for the Corinth/ Alcorn County Special Needs Group. The area’s lone bowling alley has pledged to donate half of what is taken in on May 8-9 for the group’s trip to Disney World later this month. “It would tickle me to death to fill this place up,” said owner David Curry who saw the many who have stepped up to help the group and wanted to be part of it. Trip organizer Havis Hurley says the group “will be going down a

night earlier” to give the children time to rest for the tour with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The trip is planned for May 26 through June 1. “It will be better for the kids if we can give them a chance to rest before taking part,” said Hurley. The special needs group, which includes 24 kids on the trip -- will try out the Rain Forest Restaurant when it gets to Disney. They are also set to have a character breakfast with Mickey and Goofy. “Right now we are $44,000 and it’s going to take every bit of it,” added the trip organizer. Each child is scheduled

to get $300 to spend on anything they want in the park. Raffle tables will also be set up at Plaza Lanes for a Walmart gift card. Tickets are a $1. “Our part is simple,” said Curry. “I would love for the donation to be in the thousands.” An account -- Disney World Fundraiser -- has been set up at Trustmark Bank for those that would like to donate. Donations can also be sent to: Havis Hurley, 1306 Orchard Lane, Corinth, Ms. 38834. For more info about the special needs trip or to donate call Hurley at 662643-3561.

Counties building ambu-buses for disasters Associated Press

PADUCAH, Ky. — Behold the ambu-bus. Authorities in Kentucky are making use of old school buses that are being turned into ambulances. Each one can carry up to 18 patients, which officials say will be of great help in case of a

major accident or disaster. The Kentucky Hospital Association is helping with the conversions through a grant program. Counties must buy the buses, but the association will help pay to convert them into ambulances. Maj. Randy Harris

is with Mercy Regional Emergency Medical Service. Harris told The Paducah Sun that he envisions the ambulance bus being for large-scale evacuations or in wrecks that involve a large number of people, such as one a few years ago involving a tour bus.

Session shows GOP power great, but not unlimited BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Expectations were sky-high. Republicans, after years of fighting against Democrats who controlled the state House of Representatives, took complete control of Mississippi’s government in January for the first time in 140 years. Newly-elected Gov. Phil Bryant, among others, cast the transition as epochal. “In my lifetime, there has never been such an historic change as we are witnessing in our state government,” Bryant said in his State of the State address Jan. 24. “In the few weeks since January began, Mississippi welcomed a new lieutenant governor, speaker of the House and inaugurated a new governor. For the first time in generations, all three share a common conservative philosophy about how best to move our state forward.” That control helped the GOP accomplish many of its goals in the 2012 session, including passing a budget that saves money for future years, cutting inventory taxes, limiting the attorney general’s power and passing rules aimed at closing the state’s sole abortion clinic. “I think conservatives will be elated as what you can get done,” said Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, one of the Republicans leading Mississippi government, along with Bryant and House Speaker Philip Gunn of Clinton. But the session showed that Republican power is not unlimited, in part because not all Republicans agree on all issues. It highlighted Reeves’ emergence as a power in the legislative process. And in the House, Democrats tried to

adapt to minority status. Intra-Republican disagreement was most apparent on charter schools, where some House Republicans opposed bills backed by their leaders. Republican opinions also didn’t align on borrowing money in a bond bill, on lifting civil service protections from state employees, or on cracking down on illegal immigration. In those cases, lawmakers put their constituents’ wishes first, said Sen. Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale. “Local interest will drive how you vote,” he said. “They’re voting the way their local folks want them to vote.” Gunn and Reeves said they accept that there will be some divisions. “We don’t always agree on every issue,” Reeves said. “That’s not surprising and that’s fine.” Observers, though, say Reeves appears to have the Senate on a tighter leash than Gunn has the House. In part, that’s because Republicans have a 31-21 majority in the chamber, wider than the GOP’s 64-58 House edge. House Minority Leader Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, said lieutenant governors have historically had a “stronger grasp,” given the Senate’s smaller size and more reserved nature. Reeves was willing to go without a bond bill, meaning local governments won’t get aid to replace bridges or buy new fire trucks in the 2013 budget year. Colleges and universities won’t get more money to repair buildings or build new ones. The former state treasurer had warned that state debt was getting too high, and was quite willing to borrow no money

when House negotiators wouldn’t agree to his demands. “There also becomes a point where you can’t compromise your principles,” Reeves said. “I have very strong beliefs as it relates to the state becoming more fiscally responsible.” Reeves also declined to further cut back his proposals for charter schools. Instead he aims to build public pressure for charter schools statewide. “I expect us to get an even stronger charter school bill,” Reeves said. “We’ve already got one bad charter school bill on the books. We don’t need another.” Reeves allowed Senate Judiciary B Committee Chairman Hob Bryan, D-Amory, to shelve a bill clamping down on illegal immigrants. That move won criticism from the Mississippi Tea Party, but plaudits from Democrats. “Our current leader is focusing on statewide policy, as opposed to issues that might get one segment of people riled up,” said Sen. Hillman Frazier, D-Jackson “He’s not a weather vane lieutenant governor.” Reeves’ influence extends down to the committee level in the Senate. “You want to make sure that legislation that gets to the Senate floor is something conservative Mississippians can support,” he said. In the House, committee leaders got more leeway to bring out legislation reflecting their personal preferences. “I have allowed them to work,” Gunn said of his chairs. “I have turned responsibility over to them and our committees and I’m very proud.”

With all of the hype surrounding stimulus packages and estimates of cost starting at $200,000 per job, it is time we all understand where jobs are actually created. In 2009, large corporations shed 700,000 jobs, small business employment was down 20% and startups (because of their 50% failure rate inside of five years) are a net zero. According to studies done by the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy and the Blueprint Growth Institute, virtually all job creation in the past twenty years has come from â€œhigh impactâ€? firms. So, what are high impact firms? They are defined as: â– Those that double sales and employment in the most recent 4-year period â– Are 25 years old on average, not startups in most cases â– Represent less than 4

Memphis in Mayâ€™s president and CEO, Jim Holt, told The Commercial Appeal that his friends joke that he only has to work one month of the year. â€œActually, itâ€™s a nonstop operation,â€? he said a few days before the festival began. â€œWeâ€™re already working on next yearâ€™s

festival.â€? The publicâ€™s interest in the festival usually centers around the concert line-up or the barbecue teams, but the goal is to educate as well as entertain, according to Randy Blevins, who is vice president of programming. He spends the month of May making sure diplomats, performers and scholars from the country honored during the international salute are taken care of.

There is little focused effort to grow existing companies with potential in this or any other region. The Blueprint Growth Institute has identified 7 critical factors that growth companies employ. They studied all companies that went public since 1980 and found that 100 percent of the companies that reached $1B in sales employed at least 5 of the 7 essentials. These companies reached $1 billion in sales on 3 trajectory paths, 4, 6 or 12 years and 100% of the time launched their growth trajectory from the level of $50 million in sales. Of all of the companies that went public since 1980, only 387 (4 percent) reached $1 billion in sales, and those 387 companies accounted for: â– 63 percent of employment

A pair of first-time participants prevailed at the recordsetting 31st Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K. Danie Kirwa and Zamzam Sangau — both 25 — took home the male and female overall titles, respectively, during Mississippi’s secondlargest footrace. A record 1,366 participants signed up despite the lack of race-day registration for the first time in the event’s prestigious history. The previous mark of 1,326 had stood since 1991. During last year’s 30th anniversary registrants totaled 1,289. Sangau, who is pursuing a Masters degree at Middle Tennessee State University, had never run in a 10K prior to answering the gun in historic downtown Corinth. “A friend ran it last year and won,” the Uganda native said, referring to Julius Kos-

gei. “He had to go to a friend’s graduation so he told me I should run in his place.” Participating in races from the 400 to 5000 meter in college, Sangau was aiming for a time of 39:40. She bettered that and edged out Tiffany Dudley of Starkville by 16 clicks with a clocking of 37:23. Sangau finished the 6.2mile course at a 6:02 clip. “I was at six minutes at the first mile,” she said. “It was a good experience. It’s usually cold when I run, I liked the heat.” Kirwa found the Corinth 10K while hunting races online. The Searcy, Ark., resident had never run in the Magnolia State prior to coming away with the overall title. “The weather was tough... really humid,” Kirwa said, sweat still beading on his forehead well after turning in a 30:06 finish. Kirwa was shooting for a

29:50 showing, which would have been 25 seconds of Sammy Nyamongo’s course standard. “I was going to be satisfied with anything under 4:59,” he said of his pace time. “I just wanted to be consistent.” Other notable champions: ■ Bo Boatner of New Albany claimed the Male Masters (40-plus) with a time of 33:47 — which was also good for sixth overall. Sandy Lynch (42:57) of Florence, Ala., took the title in the female division. Boatner, 41, ran at Ole Miss but got out of the game completely at 22. He started competing again at 38, resuming the training from his high school and college days. “I guess you can say it’s kind of my mid-life crisis ... I just couldn’t afford to buy a Porsche,” laughed Boatner. Boatner returned to the 10K last year for the first time since he was a kid. His cousin, Carol Ann Gaines, passed

away that night so returning to Corinth was important for the former Rebel. “Being here this weekend means a lot more to me because I can help my aunt Shirley,” said Boatner. “I would’ve run this race with a broken leg.” ■ Michael Mills claimed the wheelchair title in just under 35 minutes. The Amory native, who also won in 2006, had set out to break Doug Price’s course mark of 31:46. ■ Ivy Price and Rob Laher were the first Alcorn County female and male, respectively to cross the finish line. Laher finished 14th overall at 36:55, while Price turned in a time of 47:07 — 16th among all female participants. ■ The Grandmasters (50Plus) went to Frank Buscher of Memphis, Tenn., and Jeanine Watts of Lamar. Buscher was 22nd overall at 39:27, with Watts coming in at 46:54 — good for 15th among females.

I’ll Have Another rallies to win Kentucky Derby Gutierrez said. “I said in an interview, even if they allowed me to pick from the whole rest of the field, I would have stayed with him, 100 percent, no doubt about it.” Gutierrez, making his Derby debut at 25, got his chance to ride I’ll Have Another after trainer Doug O’Neill and owner J. Paul Reddam just happened to see him win a race at Santa Anita in Southern California. It was another chapter in his unusual route to the Derby winner’s circle. He followed in his father’s footsteps as a jockey, getting on quarterhorses in Veracruz, Mexico, at 14. After a stint in Canada, he eventually started getting noticed on the West Coast, especially after winning the Santa Anita Derby. Still, he was largely a mystery to the record crowd of 165,307, who didn’t know 15-1 shot I’ll Have Another or the jockey had the right stuff until the 20-horse field turned for home. That’s when Gutierrez, who moved up between

Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — I’ll Have Another didn’t seem to have the goods to win the Kentucky Derby. Sold as a yearling for a paltry $11,000, ridden by a rookie jockey hardly anyone knew and stuck in an outside post no horse had ever won from — not exactly a blueprint for success at Churchill Downs. But with the finish line in sight, the chestnut colt overtook highly regarded Bodemeister in the final furlong Saturday to make a name for himself and rider Mario Gutierrez. I’ll Have Another stormed out of post No. 19 — the first winner from there in 138 runnings of the Derby — and bided his time back in mid-pack while Bodemeister set a blistering pace on a hot, muggy afternoon. “He’s an amazing horse. I kept telling everybody, from the first time I met him, I knew he was the one. I knew he was good,”

horses around the final turn, positioned his colt not far from the rail and set him down to run. I’ll Have Another overhauled a tiring Bodemeister to win by 1 1-2 lengths. He paid $32.60, $13.80 and $9. He ran 1 1-4 miles in 2:01.83. Bodemeister, trained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert, was second and returned $6.20 and $5.60 as the 4-1 favorite. Dullahan was a neck back in third and paid $7.20 to show. O’Neill didn’t waste any time vowing that I’ll Have Another will go on to the Preakness in two weeks. “Maryland, here we come baby!” he said. I’ll Have Another made his way to the starting gate accompanied by his stable pony, Lava Man, another cheap purchase turned into a career winner of more than $5 million by O’Neill. The trainer has made his name predominantly in Southern California, although he’s won three Breeders’ Cup races. One of his best hors-

es, Steviewonderboy, was the winter favorite for the 2006 Derby before being sidelined by injuries early that year. A hot pace was anticipated from speedster Trinniberg, although surprisingly it was Bodemeister under jockey Mike Smith who blazed to the front and forced Trinniberg to take a backseat. In the late afternoon heat, Bodemeister set impossibly fast fractions. He ran the opening quarter-mile in 22.32 seconds and the half-mile in 45.39. “I told Mike, ‘Look, if he breaks great and feels like running, we can win it,” said Baffert, who had a heart attack in Dubai five weeks ago. “That’s the only time I’ve run second where I’ve been happy because he ran his race.” Meanwhile, I’ll Have

Another was comfortably galloping along behind the blazing speed.

Nation Briefs Associated Press

Obama: Time to shift attention to home WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says his goal of defeating al-Qaida is within reach and that it’s time to turn the country’s attention to domestic concerns. Just four days after his trip to Afghanistan, Obama said that money saved from ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan should help pay down the national debt and go to health care, education and infrastructure. “After more than a decade of war, it is time to focus on nation-building here at home,” he said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. The president took note of the agreement he signed with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday that shifts security to the Afghan people. He reminded the American public, once again, of the military raid that killed Osama bin Laden a year ago. But he said the nation now should concentrate on economic issues such as tax disparities and government spending. Without mentioning Republicans, he cast the GOP view as one that promotes more tax cuts for millionaires while cutting spending “that built a strong middle class.” “That’s why I’ve called on Congress to take the money we’re no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt and use the other half to rebuild America,” he said.

Romney embarking on new balancing act WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney will need independent voters in November, but he isn’t abandoning his “severely conservative” record.

The likely Republican presidential nominee has embarked on an aggressive campaign against President Barack Obama that straddles two sometimes-conflicting political ideologies. On some days, the former Massachusetts governor is a social conservative and social moderate, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and promoter of political compromise. With the primaries over, it’s an evolving balancing act that, so far, is leaning decidedly right. Romney spoke out Friday against China’s “one-child policy,” in an apparent nod to social conservatives. But later in the same Fox News interview, he defended his decision to hire an openly gay staffer who just quit under pressure from social conservatives. Romney said he hires people “not based upon their ethnicity, or their sexual preference or their gender but upon their capability.” He said the ex-aide, Richard Grenell, who was to become foreign policy spokesman, was a “capable individual” and that many senior campaign advisers had urged him not to leave. But Grenell’s departure pleased some on the religious right. The matter offered a look inside a Romney campaign that would like to broaden his appeal to the political center, while harnessing the antiObama intensity from his party’s right. It’s a tricky move, but Romney is trying to prove he won’t turn his back on his party’s most passionate voters.

Teen points out inaccurate map WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — A Connecticut

seventh-grader says workers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City didn’t believe him when he pointed out an inaccuracy with a map that was on exhibit. The map purported to show the Byzantine Empire at its largest size in the 6th century, but he noticed that Spain and part of Africa were missing from the depiction. Benjamin Lerman Coady knew he was right, because he had just studied the empire in school before last summer’s trip to the museum with his mother. He was told to fill out a form. “The front desk didn’t believe me,” Benjamin told The Hartford Courant. “I’m only a kid.” The 13-year-old West Hartford resident filled out the form and never expected a response, but a museum official wrote him in September saying his comments were under review. Then came an email in January from Helen Evans, the museum’s curator for Byzantine art. “You are, of course, correct about the boundaries of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian,” Evans wrote, and she invited Benjamin to return to the museum. Benjamin took up the offer and met Evans at the museum in February. He brought her notepads from his school, and Evans gave him a tour of the museum including a sneak preview of a new exhibit. She also asked Benjamin to draw what the map should really look like. He’s still working on that project.

For 9⁄11 families, hearing another ordeal NEW YORK — Moans, sighs and exclamations erupted Saturday as IJE9AI CKJK7BÃ<KD:I

relatives of Sept. 11 victims watched four closed-circuit TV feeds from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that showed the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks and co-defendants trying to slow their arraignment, a move that drew outbursts from viewers of “c’mon, are you kidding me?” “It’s actually a joke, it feels ridiculous,” said Jim Riches, whose firefighter son, Jimmy, died at the World Trade Center. Riches watched the hearing from a movie theater at Fort Hamilton in New York City, one of four U.S. military bases where the arraignment was broadcast live for victims’ family members, survivors and emergency personnel who responded to the attacks. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other defendants were arraigned on charges that include terrorism and murder, the first time in more than three years that they appeared in public. During the hearing, they generally refused to cooperate. At one point, one detainee leafed through a copy of The Economist magazine, then passed it to another. At other times, defendants knelt in prayer. Like other family members, Riches expressed frustration about the proceedings. “It’s been a mess for 11 years,” Riches said as he stood in the rain during a break in the proceedings and described the atmosphere inside. And after his first glimpse inside the military courtroom, he said, “It looks like it’s going to be a very long trial. ... They want what they want.” Riches, himself a retired firefighter who worked digging up remains in the days after Sept. 11, said he carried with him dark memories

year on what’s sure to be a painstaking effort. And leaving the shipwreck in place is not an option: Officials say the harbor must be deepened to accommodate supersize cargo ships coming through an expanded Panama Canal in 2014 — ships that will bring valuable revenue to the state and would otherwise go to other ports. Underwater surveys show two large chunks of the ship’s iron-armored siding have survived, the largest being 68 feet long and 24 feet tall. Raising them intact will be a priority. Researchers also spotted three cannons on the riverbed, an intact propeller and other pieces of the warship’s steam engines. And there’s smaller debris scattered across the site that could yield unexpected treasures, requiring careful sifting beneath 40 feet of water.

of the days after the attacks, and he hoped that if convicted the five men would be executed. “I saw what they did to our loved ones — crushed them to pieces,” he said. About 60 people representing 30 families were in the theater at Fort Hamilton, where the military provided chaplains and grief counselors, Riches said. The other bases providing feeds were Fort Devens in Massachusetts, Joint Base McGuire Dix in New Jersey and Fort Meade in Maryland, the only one open to the public.

Civil War shipwreck in way of port project SAVANNAH, Ga. — Before government engineers can deepen one of the nation’s busiest seaports to accommodate future trade, they first need to remove a $14 million obstacle from the past — a Confederate warship rotting on the Savannah River bottom for nearly 150 years. Confederate troops scuttled the ironclad CSS Georgia to prevent its capture by Gen. William T. Sherman when his Union troops took Savannah in December 1864. It’s been on the river bottom ever since. Now, the Civil War shipwreck sits in the way of a government agency’s $653 million plan to deepen the waterway that links the nation’s fourth-busiest container port to the Atlantic Ocean. The ship’s remains are considered so historically significant that dredging the river is prohibited within 50 feet of the wreckage. So the Army Corps of Engineers plans to raise and preserve what’s left of the CSS Georgia. The agency’s final report on the project last month estimated the cost to taxpayers at $14 million. The work could start next

Fishermen free entangled whale SAN FRANCISCO — Crab fisherman Mark Anello noticed something odd near his boat off the Northern California coast: three buoys floating nearby were moving. Motoring closer he saw a gray whale tangled in a large fishing line. It was the same whale, officials determined later, that was first spotted hundreds of miles south off the Orange County coast April 17, dragging several buoys attached to a net. At that time, rescuers attempted to free the marine mammal, but it disappeared. It was spotted about a week later still entangled off the coast of Monterey County. On Thursday, Anello was out on his 48-foot wooden crab boat about 31⁄2 miles off the coast of Sonoma County near Bodega Bay, located about 67 miles north of San Francisco.

Supporting youth baseball Crossroads Automotive Chevrolet in Corinth owner Jeff Smith and salesperson Joe Moore recently presented City of Corinth Parks and Recreation Director Todd Witt with a check for $500 and over $1,000 in youth baseball equipment. The donation, part of the Chevy Youth Baseball program, is set to benefit the 9, 10, 11 and 12 age groups in youth baseball at the Crossroads Regional Park in Corinth. Now in its sixth year, Chevy Youth Baseball is a grassroots initiative that establishes a positive relationship between local dealers and the communities they serve. Chevy Dealers sponsor their local youth baseball leagues as a part of Chevrolet’s nationwide commitment to support youth sports.

Junking on the ‘Net worth the time, effort “The Net is a waste of time, and that’s exactly what’s right about it.” — William Gibson My friend Charlie was rejoicing the other day over the fact he’d been able to go to one of his favorite online auction Beth sites and Jacks buy something he’d Snippets a l w a y s wanted — a football program from the famous 1959 Halloween night game between Ole Miss and LSU. LSU trailed 3-0 in the fourth quarter in that game, but Billy Cannon made an 89-yard punt return to score, giving LSU the victory. Yeah, yeah . . . everybody knows the story because, as Paul Dietzel

(LSU coach at the time) says, all the human beings he’s met since that fateful night tell him they were “right there at that game.” Well, if we weren’t there we were listening to it on our little RCA transistor table radios. I remember. And where did Charlie find the game program? At a most remarkable site. I had to investigate and share with readers. The name of the website is shopgoodwill.com, affiliated with reputable, not-for-profit, Goodwill Industries. Of course, we know about the good work done by Goodwill groups in many cities, but I didn’t realize the extent of their outreach, a global presence that extends to five continents. “Goodwill provides job training, employment placement services and

other community-based programs for people who have a disability, who lack education or job experience, or who face employment challenges,” explains their website, adding that Goodwill is “funded by a massive network of retail thrift stores which operate as nonprofits as well.” Expanding their ability to reach those who might donate or buy items, a Goodwill organization in California designed shopgoodwill.com for those, like me, who enjoy wasting a bit of time surfing the Net. How does it work? Shopgoodwill.com explains: “Participating Goodwill groups from across the country offer for auction on the site a wide array of art, antiques and collectibles as well as new and nearly

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS

new items pulled from their vast inventories of donated goods. From unique one-of-a-kind items to estate pieces, the depth of resources is enormous. Revenues from these auction sales fund Goodwill's education, training and job placement programs for people with disabilities and other barriers.” I couldn’t resist, had to go see, and what I found was truly impressive. If you’re a fan of junktiques and old attics, you’ll love this place. There are over 20 categories for browsers, including Art, Clothing, Books, Movies, Jewelry, Crafts, Computers, Religious items and more. Under each category are pages and pages of listings. Starting toward the

top, I clicked the Art link and was whisked to a page telling me I could look through 35 drawings, 484 paintings, 72 photographic offerings, 800 posters and prints, 70 pieces of pottery, and 87 sculptures — everything from oil and watercolor paintings to handcarved stone animals. The bids on the items on the first three pages were unbelievably low. Clicking then to the Antiques category, I found a gold carved shell cameo ring (at that time going for $35), a preColumbian pedestal pottery vessel ($124), a Sterling silver baby brush and comb set ($11), a Civil War 1800’s leather bound photo album ($101), a wide array of coin silver flatware, and a 1932 signed opening day baseball ($88).

Finally, I went to Miscellaneous and had a jolly good time with the unusual items listed on those pages. The most unusual was a link promising to take me to “The Personal Effects of Ohio Man Who Died Young.” I didn’t go there; I’ll leave that one for more adventurous souls. Signing up at shopgoodwill.com is a snap, the site is user friendly, and there’s no fee to join. This is one of those occasions when browsing the Net and wasting a little time is worth the waste. Try it — I’m betting you’ll like it. (Beth Boswell Jacks is a freelance writer and newspaper columnist from Cleveland. Her grandparents and aunt and uncle were natives of Iuka.

David McLemore retired 20 years ago after starting Lake Hill in 1962, first as an automobile repair shop, small engine repair and selling chainsaws. His most prized possession is a 1947 Famous James motorcycle he bought when he was 16 years old.

A McLemore family affair Lake Hill Motors still running smoothly after 50 years BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

David McLemore had his sons involved in the family business from the start. Fifty years later, Dwayne and Dan McLemore are still going strong at Lake Hill Motors. The business is celebrating its 50th anniversary during the entire month of May with all kinds of special events and discounts. “You are not going to grow up in this family and not be connected with motorcycles,” said Dwayne. “I was 12 and Dan was 11 when we started here sweeping the floor and picking up shop rags ... we have worked here all of our life.” Their father — David — started the business in 1962 as an automotive repair and small engine shop that also sold chainsaws. “Anything to make a living,” said David of his business in the early ’60s, which included his wife Crystal as his “parts lady.” The introduction to the motorcycle business came when a company out of Memphis, Tenn. asked McLemore to try and sell a Bridgestone model. “I got one and sold it, then got another one and sold it,” recalled the McLemore’s father. “Pretty soon, I was selling them as quick as we could put them out on the floor.” Lake Hill Motors started dealing Yamaha in 1964 and four years later Honda came on board. From 2003-2005, the business located at 2003 Highway 72 East would be the largest Honda dealer in the world. Lake Hill is now among the top six dealers in the country. “I started with four brands and kept the best two,” added David McLemore. Being the world’s top Honda dealer meant a heavier workload for Lake Hill. “The best move we made was to quit being the world’s largest dealer,” said Dan McLemore. “It was wide open every day and we were worked to death.” Being among the first to franchise with Honda and Yamaha in Mississippi, the McLemores opened stores in Starkville (1971) and Tupelo (1974) before later selling the shops. “We went through some hard times in the ’70s but luckily we saved enough in the good times

to make it through the bad times,” said Dwayne. “It takes lots of hard work if you want to be successful ... you can’t be afraid of hard work.” Lake Hill Motors moved from across Oakland School Road to its present site in 1997. The 18,000 square foot showroom draws customers from across the country. “We have enough room now,” added David, who retired 20 years ago. Their motorcycle business has grown so much that the marine part has been phased out. Lake Hill still carries the Yamaha waverunners and accessories, but the boats are no longer available. “We got out of the boat business around 2000,” said Dwayne. “Boats take up so much room that we ran out of space for the motorcycles.” The McLemores also have a museum that houses 136 motorcycles from every decade except the early 1900s. Only one of the cycles isn’t in running condition — a 1911 Model H Pope. “I am working on getting parts for it,” said Dwayne. “I like to get them really nice that aren’t restored for the museum.” Also included in the museum is a 1947 Famous James bought by David when he was 16 yearsold. “I worked hard and paid $250 at Heyer Motor Company,” he said. The McLemore brothers couldn’t imagine being anywhere else but at Lake Hill. While Dan handles the role as sales manager, Dwayne focuses on the service end of the business. “We have always worked good together,” said Dwayne. “We both know what needs to be done.” “I love what I do and there is nothing else I would rather do than this,” added Dan. Dwayne’s son, Lee, is next in line to take over the family business some day. “We have a business plan that sends it to the next generation,” said 61 year-old Dwayne. “Lee’s son (Lucas) will grow up in the middle of this.” Just like the rest of the McLemore males have over the past 50 years.

Dan McLemore is the sales manager at Lake Hill Motors. He was worked his entire life at the family business and began there when he was just 11 years old.

Dwayne McLemore is the service manager at Lake Hill Motors. He has worked his entire life at the family business and began there when he was just 12 years old.

50th Celebration During the month of May, Lake Hill Motors will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary with numerous special events, shows, discounts and entertainment each weekend during the month.

May 11-12 Cruiser-Vintage Days An antique bike show and swap meet along with vintage bike ride. Tucker Rocky and Bikers Choice will be at Lake Hill. There will be discounts on accessories, tires and more. Free oil change with purchase of oil and filter. Door prizes, food and drinks along with live entertainment are also slated. A swap meet and cookout for vendors will be Friday and Saturday night.

May 18-19 ATV/UTV Days Trans-America Trail Ride with Sam Correrro. Guides and solo rides are set for Saturday. A Friday night cookout is set for Saturday riders. Primitive Camping available. Bennche will be on hand with demo units. There will be discounts on accessories, tires and more.

May 25-26 Moto Cross Days Lake Hill race team and trackside will appear. There will be discounts on accessories, tires and more. Door prizes, food and drinks along with live entertainment are also slated.

Take the rough out of roughing it New amenities improve comfort at the campsite BY DIANA MARSZALEK For The Associated Press

Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Ethan Dunn

Dean — Dunn Sara Denise Dean and Forrest Ethan Dunn exchanged vows on Flamingo Beach in Santa Cruz, Costa Rica on March 29, 2012. Denise is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lane Dean of Olive Branch. She is the granddaughter of Mr. Ernest Bowen and the late Mrs. Sadie Bowen of Corinth, and the late Mr. and Mrs. A.O. Dean of Monroe, La. She graduated from Immaculate Conception High School and attended the University of Memphis. She is an agency manager for Netstreet Brokerage. Ethan is the son of Ms. Jeannie Cameron of Naples, Fla. and Mr. Len Dunn. He is the grand-

son of the late John W. and Vida V. Richards, and the late Forest and Muriel Dunn. He graduated from Ridgeway High School and the University of Memphis with a degree in finance. He is a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch. A bridal tea, hosted by the bride’s cousin, Cathy Alexander, was held in Corinth on March 11. Friends of the bride -- Allison Swan, Crystal Griffin, Nikole Dunn and sister of the bride, Corrie Dean -- honored the couple with a couples shower on March 17 in Memphis, Tenn. A reception was held on April 21 at the home of the bride’s parents to introduce the newlyweds.

Those of you who wiggle out of family camping trips by claiming you’re just not into roughing it will have to find another excuse. A range of camping options and innovations have made it far more comfortable to eat, sleep and otherwise spend time in the Great Outdoors. “‘Soft rugged’ is what so many Americans are seeking in their outdoor experience today,” says Jim Rogers, chairman and CEO of Kampgrounds of America, or KOA, which runs about 500 campgrounds around the country. So much so that he now refers to the camping industry as “outdoor hospitality.” KOA has beefed up some of its campgrounds to include both basic and luxury cabins - the latter being the kind more often equated with family resorts than places to pitch tents. Rental costs $100 to $150 per night. Some sites offer coffee carts, pancake breakfasts, kids’ activities and entertainment. Campers who want things a bit more - but not much more - rustic can browse the equipment lining the shelves at well-stocked outdoors stores (although some

of the fancy new goodies may hike the price of that simple camping trip). Take, for instance, REI’s Kingdom 8 tent, which is big enough to sleep eight. For $529, the tent is not just waterproof and bug-proof but also has moveable room dividers to create separate spaces with private entrances. Fill it with cots, airbeds and perhaps a ceiling fan created for tents, and you’re bound to get in a good night’s sleep. Toss in another $100, and you can add to it a “garage” to store food or gear -- or use it as a place for the family dog to sleep. Nifty outdoor stoves and cooking gear have made campfire-cooked canned beans and hot dogs moot, unless you really like them. REI’s camp kitchen, for example, is a folding trove of food-prep workspace and storage - all of which can be carried around in a zipper bag. It even includes hooks for hanging up spatulas, and windproof screens so the elements don’t mess with your cooking. Coleman, one of the biggest manufactures of camping gear, sells a camping oven that fits handily onto one of the company’s two- or threeburner grills. Don’t even think about

grainy cowboy coffee, or even those classic enamel percolators. French presses, specifically engineered for outdoor use, are now the way to go if you’re picky about your coffee preparation (although the experience may not be exactly what you’re used to in your own kitchen). Coleman sells a propane-powered drip coffee maker that you don’t even have to put over heat. Freeze-dried food now includes dark chocolate cheesecake, spinach puttanesca and Indian dishes. And the retailer Eastern Mountain Sports sells solar chargers for your portable electronics because, as its website says, “Trees don’t come with electrical outlets to charge your iPhone.” Some purists snub the idea of making camping more comfortable. They question whether lugging and using all that stuff dilutes the nature of, well, getting back to nature. Much of the fancy new stuff is meant to be driven, not carried, into a campsite, and is heavy enough that retailers don’t recommend carrying it far. So can you really get away from it all when you are bringing it all with you? “There are so many dif-

ferent kinds of camping experiences, and they are all camping,” says Avery Stonich, spokeswoman for the Outdoor Industry Association. “It’s all what it means to the individual.” “You can even go out to dinner if you go camping,” she says. All of which has spurred a newfound interest in camping among folks who might not have tried it otherwise, says Stuart Bourdon, editor and associate publisher of the magazine Camping Life. Campgrounds near lakes or the ocean are particularly popular, with reservations filling up a good two months in advance, he says. “The camping experience can be as close to a home kitchen and bedroom experience as you want to make it,” Bourdon says. The way Rogers at KOA sees it, the facilities and the gear are only small parts of the larger experience of being on a campground, which he calls “the last small town in America.” “People who consider ‘camping’ the Marriott will be very accommodated both in terms of the facilities available and the amenities,” he says, adding, “It’s hard to have a campfire in a Marriott hotel room.”

Today in history Today is Sunday, May 6, the 127th day of 2012. There are 239

days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 6, 1937, the hydrogen-filled German airship Hindenburg burned and crashed in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 35 of the 97 people on board and a Navy crewman on the ground. On this date: In 1861, Confederate President Jefferson Davis approved an act passed by the Confederate Congress recognizing that a state of war

existed with the United States of America. In 1862, author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau died in Concord, Mass., at age 44. In 1882, President Chester Alan Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which called for barring Chinese immigrants from the U.S. for ten years (Arthur had opposed an earlier version with a 20-year ban). In 1910, Britain’s Edwardian era came to an end upon the death of

King Edward VII; he was succeeded by George V. In 1932, French President Paul Doumer was assassinated in Paris by Paul Gorguloff, who was executed the following September. In 1941, Josef Stalin assumed the Soviet premiership, replacing Vyacheslav M. Molotov. In 1954, medical student Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile during a track meet in Oxford, England, in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband, “Stu,” for 27 years. His brother’s family continues to send invitations addressed only to Stu. When they call to invite us to anything and I answer, they ask to speak to him. He has asked them not to do that. When RSVPing to the latest invitation to our niece’s graduation party -- addressed only to my husband -- I said that he would attend as he was the only one invited. I also asked if I had done something to offend anyone. I was told, “No, of course not,” and they were “sorry if there was a misunderstanding,” because the invite was for the whole family. When we see each other, they are polite. I feel that pushing the point or not attending would reflect badly on me. What do you suggest? I am hurt by years of this treatment, and Stu is just as offended. -- HAD ENOUGH IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR HAD ENOUGH: Either your brother-inlaw and his family never learned how to properly address an invitation (i.e., “Mr. and Mrs.” or “and family”), or on some emotional level you were never accepted as a fullfledged family member.

As I see it, you have two choices: Continue to attend these events as Abigail you have Van Buren for the past 27 Dear Abby years, or both of you decline and tell them exactly why. DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter, “Corey,” is in a two-year relationship with “Greg,” who’s 19 and in the Naval Academy at Annapolis. They have exchanged promise rings and agreed to make this long-distance relationship work. She went to visit him for Thanksgiving and he came home for Christmas. He also returned for spring break. He takes advantage of every opportunity to see Corey. We live in California and Corey is a junior in high school. Prom is almost here, and Greg has told her he doesn’t want her to miss out on anything. I feel she should not go with anyone else -- that it’s a sacrifice you make when you have a boyfriend. Well, she accepted an invitation from a guy “friend” and Greg said he was fine with it. I sent Greg a text message,

and he repeated that sentiment. I believe Greg was thinking she wouldn’t actually go to the prom and he was just trying to be nice, hoping she’d make the better decision. I am stressed that this may ruin her relationship and she’ll be devastated. What’s the etiquette? Is it OK for her to go to the prom with a friend, even if she has a boyfriend? -- ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR HER DEAR ONLY: If your daughter cleared it with her boyfriend and he said he’s fine with it, then it’s all right for her to go to the prom. I’m more concerned that you took it upon yourself to text your daughter’s boyfriend to “double-check.” Greg appears to be a mature, confident and stable young man. If you’ll stop trying to run interference for your daughter and let the relationship continue to evolve naturally, the romance might actually pan out.

‘Avenger’ Clark Gregg’s 5 favorite sci-fi movies BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES — There’s a little movie called “The Avengers” coming out this weekend. You might have heard something about it. Among its impressive ensemble cast is Clark Gregg, returning from previous Marvel movies as Agent Coulson, Nick Fury’s no-nonsense, right-hand man at S.H.I.E.L.D. In all his copious free time this week, Gregg was kind enough to choose his five favorite science fiction films. Here they are in his own thoughtful words, with the last being most favorite. He’s got good taste: ■ “Another Earth”

(2011): I saw this at Sundance in 2011 and was completely mesmerized by its low-budget, ideadriven premise, which, like the best sci-fi, uses an alternative, near-future reality to provide a unique perspective on who we are now. Mike Cahill’s powerful direction of a clever, haunting script by the movie’s beautiful, unknown lead, Brit Marling, along with an emotional but restrained performance by William Mapother, make this a deeply resonant film about grief and redemption. ■ “Alien” (1979): This belongs at the top of about five different lists, including best thriller and best horror film, as well. Ridley Scott did so many

things right here — from the grimy, lived-in world of the Nostromo mixed with H.R. Giger’s eerily seductive design to the perfect cast and Sigourney Weaver’s bad-ass performance. I also love the way Scott keeps the alien unseen for so much of the gut-churning build up, then delivers one of the most terrifying creatures ever seen on screen. I still can’t watch this one after about 8 p.m. ■ “The Matrix” (1999): The ultimate popcorn movie. I accompanied a friend to the premiere with no idea what I was walking into and had about as much fun as I’ve ever had in a movie theater. Spectacular, mindbending premise which

provides the seductive setting for a story delivered with style and precision and more shell casings than all the “Rambo” movies combined. The sequels never quite lived up to this promise, but I can’t hold that against this perfect piece of wired-action pie. ■ “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968): Stanley Kubrick at his visionary finest. My dad took me to see this when I was about 9 and I was changed forever. Kubrick’s visceral and prescient take on such themes as artificial intelligence, extraterrestrials and their role in human evolution was adapted with novelist Arthur C. Clarke from one of his short stories.

From the astonishing first act at the dawn of man to the hallucinatory, largely non-verbal climax, the film takes more risks than any 10 studio films made today. I watch it over and over and always experience something different. ■ “Blade Runner” (1982): Holy crap, I love this movie. I’ve seen it countless times in all its incarnations, read Phillip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” on which it’s loosely based and never flip past it on cable. I love the futuristic neo-noir tone, the moody Vangelis score and the pitch-perfect performances by the entire cast, especially Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Daryl

Hannah and, above all, the young, Brando-esque Rutger Hauer. His turn as the murderous replicant Roy Batty on a desperate, all-toohuman quest to prolong his artificially shortened life in a rain-soaked, postapocalyptic, 21st century Los Angeles always breaks my heart. There may be a few logic issues here and there, but the whole thing is so damn sexy that you don’t even care. Think of any other examples?

Trophies, laughs await on Sunday’s ‘The Comedy Awards’ BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — The notion that TV viewers need another awards show may be laughable. Exactly. “The Comedy Awards,” which began last year, celebrates the art of comedy. And this year’s presentation, which airs today at 8 p.m. on Comedy Central, is a funny affair packed with masters of mirthmaking including Ty Burrell, Tina Fey, Chris Parnell, Maya Rudolph, Adam Scott and Jim Carrey. Taped April 28 at New York’s Hammerstein Auditorium, the gala event salutes comedy achievements in standup, TV, films and digital. Robin Williams gets the Standup Icon Award.

Don Rickles is honored with the Johnny Carson Award For Comedic Excellence, presented by Jon Stewart and Robert De Niro (who demonstrates his own shortcomings as a standup, bobbling wisecracks such as telling Rickles, “I’ve always thought of you as a comedian and actor. But since we did ‘Casino’ together, I’ve come to think of you as, well, more of a comedian”). “Rango” is the best animated comedy film. French actor (and Oscar winner) Jean Dujardin is named best film actor for “The Artist.” NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” is chosen as best comedy series, and its star, Amy Poehler, is named best actress, while

FX’s “Louie” is the best sketch/alternative comedy series. Best club comic: Hannibal Buress. Most of the two dozen categories were judged by 1500 working members of the comedy community, choosing from nominees selected by a board of directors comprising such names as Carol Burnett, James Burrows, Stephen Colbert, Budd Friedman, Conan O’Brien, Joan Rivers, George Schlatter, Jon Stewart and Lily Tomlin. But several categories are left to the public, who, through airtime on Sunday, can make their picks on the Comedy Awards website for categories that include the funniest person on Twitter; best

Horoscopes Sunday, May 6, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

Wanting isn’t an entirely uncomfortable emotion. It can have a way of focusing a person, as well as unifying and energizing internal forces. The Scorpio moon opposes Jupiter and then goes void-of-course, bringing attention to all the good fortune we would like and then letting us stew in the wanting for a while. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may feel like you are running from yourself, refusing to see yourself as the complete person you are. Self-acceptance will be the key to getting on your side so you can play for Team You. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You love to maintain your friendships, especially by entertaining your nearest and dearest. This is also a good way to reach out to new people. Plan an event that includes your friends introducing you to their friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People who maximize their qualities while minimizing yours will be toxic to you now, so it’s best to stay away. If you can’t stay away, establish firm boundaries. Seek out those who truly believe that all people are created equal. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll give yourself the gift of experience. How it turns out isn’t the point. You are who you are because you keep putting yourself in the mix, taking risks and making a daily effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your frustration is warranted, but it may do you little good to express it just yet. Calm down and get your story in order. With a systematic approach, you can work everything out in due time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are a hard worker, and your efforts will bring fruit when you focus them on a worthy plan. So work with the best planner you can find. Ask for guidance on matters big and small. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You put yourself in a good mood because you’re drawn to high-minded activities. You’ll dwell on inspiring texts, contemplate expansive spiritual concepts and revel in the beauty and creativity that’s all around you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your mood is lively, and many will be attracted to your animated style of making a point. You’ll feel most satisfied when you can bring laughter to the ones you love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Uncertainty is a natural stage of learning. Remember this and be patient with yourself. You can only go as fast as you are able. When you accept your natural rhythms and work within them, learning gets easier. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Thanks to a combination of your expertise and modern technology, what used to take you several hours can now be accomplished in a few minutes. You have more time for what you really want to do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some of your loved ones think your plans are a little crazy, which makes you all the more determined to prove them wrong. You’ll do something to grab their attention this evening. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Do not give up too easily. You’ll reflect back to a time when you walked away when you should have stayed to fight. This reflection is a reminder of the power you have right now.

And one was NEVER funny!” Taking the award is the online standup special “Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater.” The winner as best comedy director of a film (for “Bridesmaids”), Paul Feig, plies his craft by directing Will Arnett in a performance reading Feig’s acceptance remarks. And accepting the award for “Bridesmaids”

as best comedy film, Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo deliver a funny, even fetching display of wrestling on the stage floor for custody of the single trophy. Now, THAT’s comedy! Presenter Tracy Morgan delivers a bombshell: He announces he’s quitting show business, to join the party-hearty life of the U.S. Secret Service. The sentimental highlight of the evening is seeing Don Rickles gratefully receive his trophy. In rambling remarks that alternate between tender recollections of performers he reveres (notably Johnny Carson) intercut with his trademark insults, Rickles, who turns 86 on Tuesday, clinches his title as (in the

words of Stewart) “the patron saint of comedy.” “I see many in the audience,” he says tenderly, then hurls a zinger: “I realize tonight, I’m the biggest name here.” He’s kidding, but he needn’t be. “The Comedy Awards” is a zesty who’s who of jesters, supplemented by Andy Richter in the announcer’s booth and The Roots as the robust house band. And though Chris Rock marvels at the top of the evening, “They televise THIS — and they DON’T do the Nobel Peace Prize,” it’s no wonder. This is much funnier. Anything for a laugh!

Oliver’s Hill was the scene of some heavy fighting BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

(Editor’s Note: This the eighth of a nine-part series of frequently overlooked Civil War sites in and around Corinth.) Who was Col. John Oliver and why is there a hill named for him on the north side of town? He wasn’t a Corinthian. In fact, he wasn’t even Southern. John Morrison Oliver was a native New Yorker who came to Corinth in 1862 as the command- Name ing officer of the 15th Michigan Infantry. He had put in a strong performance at the Battle of Shiloh as well as the Siege of Corinth, and as a result he’d been elevated to the command of a small brigade. In the days prior to the Battle of Corinth, his brigade was sent to Chewalla, Tenn., to keep an eye out for the advancing Confederates under General Van Dorn. He found them. On the morning of Oct. 3, Oliver met the entire Confederate army on its way to Corinth. He had about 500 men. The enemy, 21,000. He was so heavily outnumbered he didn’t have a prayer of stopping them. The best he could hope for was to delay them for a bit. Oliver withdrew his men back into Mississippi, down the road leading to Corinth and across Cane Creek. He finally came to a halt on the steep slopes of a hill close to the crossing of the Memphis & Charleston R.R. with the Chewalla Road. The hill marked the western end of the “Beauregard Line” of earthworks, for-

tifications built by the Confederates back in the spring. It was here the Union chose to make their first stand against the advancing enemy. Once across, Oliver had burned the rickety bridge over Cane Creek and it took time for the Confederates to rebuild the span and then cross their own ranks over. The Union soldiers took a shaky defensive position on top of the hill and warily watched rank upon rank of Confederates prepare for the coming charge. A sigh of relief came from the Federals when they were joined by another small brigade of troops. They were still outgunned but their odds had improved slightly. Their job would be to once again delay Van Dorn while the bulk of Gen. Rosecrans’ army arrived from camps south of town. Luckily for Oliver, the reinforcing troops were led by Brig. Gen. John McArthur, truly the right man in the right place at the right time. John McArthur (no relation to that other famous Gen. McArthur) was a native Scotsman and a born fighter. He was 35 years old and, as Gen. Rosecrans said, “General MacArthur’s Scotch blood rose” and he took command with a will. As the senior man on the hill, he positioned the men of both his and Oliver’s brigades, “borrowed” a third brigade from another division and appropriated as much artillery as he could lay his hands on. Unfortunately for McArthur, the earth-

A battery of 20-pounder Parrot rifles in action during the Battle of Corinth. works ended before they reached the top of the hill and most of his men were without protection. When the Confederates attacked it was with a fury. Maj. Gen. Mansfield Lovell’s Division slammed into the Oliver’s Hill defenses and the fighting was bitter. It was give and take for over an hour and both sides took heavy casualties. McArthur masterfully directed his troops and held back the superior force but the final outcome was inevitable. The tide finally turned in favor of the Confederates when a large gap in the Union lines was discovered and Southern troops began to pour through. A soldier from the 7th Illinois Infantry

told how they were nearly encircled, “Rebels on our right and rear; rebels on our left and rear; soon their right and left columns will meet; soon we will be surrounded if we remain here.” The Federals fell back several hundred yards and rallied for another stand. Among the Union losses on Oliver’s Hill was a 20-pounder Parrot Rifle (named for the cannon’s designer, not the bird) from Richardson’s Battery, 1st Missouri Light Artillery. As the Confederate lines swept forward the cannon fell into Southern hands. The cannon itself was distinctive as the black cast iron barrel had been graced with painted white letters spelling out “Lady

Richardson” in honor of the battery commander’s wife. A last-minute attempt to haul the cannon off failed and it became a trophy of war. But who’s trophy? It was a big thing to capture a cannon or a flag during the war and both the 22nd and 33rd Mississippi Infantry took credit for capturing it. Their claims and counter claims went on for years, both sides utterly convinced their own regiment had taken the prize. The “Lady Richardson” would eventually be recaptured by the Union at the siege of Vicksburg. Oliver’s Hill was the scene of the first of several bloody engagements in Corinth over the next 24 hours. The Confederates took the high ground,

but the Federals held it long enough to allow reinforcements to arrive from Kossuth. Col. Oliver did well on the heights, but the man of the hour was really Gen. John McArthur. Perhaps it should have been called McArthur’s Hill. The Scots blood in me would agree. For more information on what took place on Oliver’s Hill, come by the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. The research library has copies of the reports written by McArthur and Oliver as well as all of the principal commanders at the Battle of Corinth The Center is located at 501 West Linden Street and is open 8:00 to 5:00 daily.

The National Museum of Civil War Medicine gives severed arm a good look BY DAVID DISHNEAU Associated Press

FREDERICK, Md. — Long after the guns fell silent at Antietam, the earth yielded up gruesome reminders of the bloodiest day of the American Civil War: bodies, bones, buttons and entire severed limbs — one of which is now the focus of intense study at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. A Sharpsburg-area farmer is said to have found the human forearm while plowing a field two weeks after the 1862 battle. Officials at the museum in Frederick, Md., are trying to learn more about the limb in hopes of verifying that it’s a relic of the Battle of Antietam and exhibiting the wellpreserved specimen during the battle’s 150th anniversary in September. The muddy-looking right forearm, with skin and hand attached, was donated anonymously to the museum earlier this year, said Executive Director George Wunderlich. It had been displayed for several decades at a private museum

in Sharpsburg. Though there is little hope of identifying the young man who lost it, Wunderlich said forensic experts may be able to discern his nationality and whether the arm was, as Wunderlich suspects, torn from his body by a bullet or artillery round. “Being able to put the story of this unknown person before this country is very important to us,” Wunderlich said. “His remains will tell a story that will relate us back to his sacrifice. This was what they gave for what they believed. If done properly, it’s a very poignant story.” The unidentified farmer who found the limb put it in a barrel of brine, according to Thomas McGrath’s 1997 book, “Maryland September: True Stories from the Antietam Campaign.” The farmer reportedly gave it to a Boonsboro physician, who is said to have preserved it with embalming fluid. The arm eventually ended up in a private museum that was sold in the 1960s to John G. Ray Jr. After Ray

died in 2001, his widow had the museum’s contents sold at an auction, according to battlefield historian Ted Alexander. The arm’s owner was probably a small man less than 20 years old, said William Gardner, a former Marshall University forensic medicine instructor who examined it in March. Since the elbow joint is undamaged, with no surgical saw marks, the arm was likely removed somewhere between the shoulder and elbow, he said. The forearm skin and tendons appear to have been violently twisted. The battlefield’s history and geography offer clues about how a solitary arm could end up in a farm field. “That entire battle took place in people’s fields, their yards,” Gardner said. The pivotal clash on Sept. 17, 1862, left more than 23,000 soldiers dead, wounded or missing in the war’s bloodiest one-day battle. Many were buried were they fell, their shallow graves crudely marked for their eventual removal to cemeteries.

Lures, presentations for catching post spawn bass A bass fishermen’s tackle box is usually littered with an assortment of lures. But most of the time, many anglers only use one, maybe two, of what they consider to be their best fish catching lures. It’s always good to have a go-to lure that you’re confident will catch a fish or two, and all’s fine in the world when bass are being reeled in and yanked over the side of the boat. But as bass complete their spawning cycles like they have now, those one or two lures and the tactics used in working them may not be the best options for producing the most action. Post spawn bass, especially the larger ones, present new challenges for the angler trying to catch them. Sometimes, when bass are in transition back to their deep water haunts from where they came prior to the spawn, they often exhibit

a sluggish behavior and become finicky in what they want and David how they Green want it. This is Outdoors when it’s time to dig deep into the box of tricks and experiment with a variety of lures and lure presentations. Fortunately there are several that will produce at a given time on post spawn bass. A good choice of lures to try at first light or early on cloudy mornings would be a type of surface running lure, whether it is of the buzz-bait variety or your basic top water plug. Many species of panfish and forage fish are moving into the shallows to begin their spawn now, which is what makes these lures so effective. Bass instinctively hang-out on the outer fingers of these

beds in the early morning hours waiting for an easy made-to-order breakfast. A topwaterbn plug with propellers on both ends often works well in getting the desired results. Baits like the Devil’s Horse, Tiny Torpedo, and other similar lures are excellent choices. These lures are designed to be worked effectively in a number of ways with retrieve speeds to match whatever mood the bass are in on a particular day. They can be fished by making short twitches of the rod tip that do little more than make a ripple on the water’s surface, or much longer sweeps of the rod and pauses can be used. In some instances, just reeling the bait steadily will trigger a strike. A three-eight to onehalf oz. buzz-bait works best with a slow but methodical retrieve just enough to keep the bait gurgling on the surface

during the first hour or so of daylight. This lure is great for fishing parallel to weedy vegetation, and it is one of the deadliest lures known to man for catching trophy-sized bass. But the knock on surface lures is that fish don’t always pound them. Sometimes they’ll just nip at it or tease you by making a boil underneath the bait. This problem can be remedied by shifting to a shallow to medium depth running crank-bait or by using a hard bodied minnow type plug in an erratic fashion. When fishing deeper water with crankbaits however, try ripping the lure through the water fast. Even a bass that appears to be lethargic from the rigorous spawn will find it hard to resist taking a swipe at the lure as it goes zipping by. The old faithful “RatL-Trap” and the Bandit crank-bait are two of the

most popular plugs used by area fishermen. You can’t talk about bass fishing without mentioning plastic worms. The plastic worm is a reliable standby that can be used in numerous ways and comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. On large reservoir type lakes, you can’t go wrong by using pumpkin or watermelon colors. And on smaller impoundments, shades of blue, black, and purple seem to work better. The clarity of the water can be used to dictate what size worm to try first. A good rule of thumb is to use worms six inches in length or less in clear water and worms seven inches or longer in dark water. Worms can be fished by employing the commonly used Texas rig to probe weedy or wood filled cover, by inserting one onto a lead jig head to fish gravel bars or steep rock bluff

ledges, or on a Carolina rig to thoroughly cover lake points, creek ledges, offshore humps and other similar locations. These are not the only ways to fish the versatile plastic worm, but they do tend to be the ones used most often. Just about every angler has a favorite lure they like to throw more than others, but during the post spawn stage, bass tend to hit a variety of lures. What I’ve found out, and you will too, is the favorite lure is the one catching the most fish at the moment.

Vibrant knockout roses bring a punch of color to landscapes A lot of new gardeners who enjoy roses want to jump right into growing hybrid tea or floribunda roses, but these can be tricky for begingarGary ning deners. I Bachman think the easiest Southern way for the Gardening gardening novice -- or the master gardener -- to enjoy roses is to plant Knockout roses. Knockout roses are very disease-resistant, shrubtype roses. They produce flower clusters nonstop and in huge numbers. Colors range from red to pink and yellow, and flowers can be 3-1/2 inches in diameter. This plant has multiseason interest. The foliage in the spring and summer is a dark, glossy green, and fall brings on a deep maroon-purple show. Choose a location that receives at least five hours of full sun a day. Morning sun is most beneficial. Incorporate good organic matter into the landscape bed, and raise the bed above the normal grade to improve drainage around the plant crown. Avoid overhead watering if possible, and use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to keep the soil moisture consistent. The plants can easily grow three to four feet tall and wide if unpruned, but pruning helps you enjoy the full landscape poten-

This plant has multi-season interest. The foliage in the spring and summer is a dark, glossy green, and fall brings on a deep maroonpurple show.

Pruning roses is actually very easy; it may be harder to convince yourself that pruning is necessary! An overgrown Knockout rose bush is not very attractive, so get out the pruners and get started. Always protect yourself when pruning roses. Wear heavy-duty leather gloves and long sleeves to keep pesky thorns at bay. Always use bypass pruners, because these produce the best and cleanest cut, like a pair of scissors cutting paper.

Anvil pruners, while less expensive, do a great deal of damage by literally crushing the rose stems. Crushed stems are not attractive and can allow dis-

ease organisms into the plant. Prune Knockout roses early each spring. The first step is removing any dead or winter-damaged

canes by cutting them off close to the base of the plant. Prune the remaining canes up to 50 percent, maintaining the desired shape and size of

the shrub as you prune. Cut the canes at a 45 degree angle facing out to prevent the canes from holding water. Pruning will stimulate vigorous growth in the spring and the abundant flowering Knockouts are known for. Later this summer when the rose bushes are starting to look a little tired, prune them back by about a third. The resulting flush of growth will produce a display of flowers to enjoy in the fall.
