Unemployment ticks upward in county

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County’s unemployment rate rose half a percentage point for the month of May, matching an overall rise in unemployment across the state.

Unemployment in the county stood at 9.1 percent for the

month of May according to the latest figures released by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. In April, the county posted an unemployment rate of 8.6 percent.

In May 2011, Alcorn County’s unemployment rate stood at 11.3 percent.

Mississippi as a whole also saw a 0.5 percent increase in unemployment with the overall rate for the state rising from 8.4 percent in April to 8.9 percent for May. Initial claims for unemployment benefits in the state also rose from 10,417 in April to 16,095 in May.

Alcorn County continued to post the lowest unemployment rate among immediately surrounding counties. Alcorn’s rate of 9.1 percent put it lower than the next lowest county, Prentiss at 9.2 percent. Tishomingo County had a rate of 10.1 percent and Tippah County

posted the area’s highest rate at 10.2 percent for May. Alcorn County had the 25th lowest unemployment rate in the state in May. Rankin County near Jackson continued to post the lowest rate at 5.7 percent and Clay County had the highest rate at 16.1 percent.

New book tells key Civil War battle story

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

A new book in a series commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War tells the story of the Battle of Brice’s Crossroads.

Author Stewart L. Bennett’s “The Battle of Brice’s Crossroads” details the tale of the battle fought just west of Baldwyn on June 10, 1864.

“Using a wealth of firstperson soldier accounts, Dr. Bennett’s account of Brice’s Crossroads is highly engaging and readable,” said Katie Parry, publicist for the History Press. “The book is part of the History Press Civil War Sesquicentennial Series which offers thoroughly researched, accessible accounts of the war rarely covered outside the academic realm.”

The new book tells the story of the battle at an insignificant crossroads in northeast Mississippi that became the setting for one of the most spectacular Confederate victories in the western theater of the Civil War. It is the story of two generals — the North’s Samuel D. Strurgis and the South’s Nathan Bedford Forrest — and how their decisions determined the destinies of their men.

“The Battle of Brice’s Crossroads is a story of courage,” wrote Stewart. “It is a story about winning against long odds, a story of the stinging torment of defeat and about

For a brighter and cleaner future, the students of today must understand waste issues and how waste can be managed. Garbage will always be a part of life, so it’s crucial to know how to deal with it.

That is the premise of Waste in Place, a new educational resource from Keep America Beautiful that is designed to help teachers and their students develop a balanced perspective of waste and the options for its management.

“We are very excited to get this completely new material out into our teachers’ hands and have this training so close

to our community,” said Andrea Rose, community development director for the Alliance.

Waste in Place is a newly redesigned resource and activity guide for educators from preK to 6th grade.

Designed to be fun and interactive, the workshop will be held Thursday, July 19, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Northeast at Corinth WIN Job Center. During the workshop, the state director for Keep America Beautiful will be on hand to train area educators to use the new activities and resources.

seasonal concerts at Lake Junaluska, tours the world sharing God’s love through inspiring music.

Lake Junaluska -- located in Haywood County, North Carolina -- is the site of the headquarters of the World Methodist Council, a consultative body linking almost all

churches in the Methodist tradition.

The WMC headquarters is itself located on the campus of the Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center, an assembly for the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church which hosts Annual Conferences and other United Methodist and religious confer-

ences.

“The mission of the Lake Junaluska Singers is to be a vocal ensemble that provides inspirational music for concert and worship, performing at the highest level of musical excellence,” says singer director Dr. Melodie Galloway.

Every year, singers have to audition whether they

are a returning singer or a new singer to the group.

“I am personally so proud and amazed at how this group has come together,” added Dr. Galloway.

There is no charge for admission to the event, but a free-will offering may be taken.

Group attracts funds for community center Special to the Daily Corinthian

Most conferences and training programs require that “participants pay” to attend. Did you ever attend a workshop that “pays participants”?

A group of four Corinth citizens recently attended a state-sponsored workshop and received a $3,000 investment from the Governor’s Office of Appalachia for a community revitalization project. Easom Outreach Foundation was awarded funds to begin the Kitchen Connection portion of its long-awaited community center. The campus is currently being utilized as a city school district summer feeding site for

Investigators crack string of burglaries

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

CAIRO — One adult and two juveniles have been arrested in connection with stealing items from a church and two residences in the Cairo community of northeast Prentiss County.

Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said the trio is accused of burglarizing the Clausel Hill Independent Methodist Church and two homes.

Lucas Garret Sims, 18, of Cairo and two unnamed juveniles have been charged with two counts each of burglary of a dwelling and one count each of burglary of a building.

Sims has been released on a $25,000 bond. The two juveniles were released to the custody of their parents pending an appearance in county youth court.

Tolar said investiga-

tors arrested the trio on Wednesday, July 4 following the burglary of a home on Prentiss County Road 2186. Two Pioneer speakers, a bow and arrow, two pistols, a BB gun and other items were taken from the home. Investigators Roy Ragin and Derrick Hester, along with other deputies, developed information connecting Sims and the juveniles to that break-in and the previous cases.

Two laptop computers, three swords, a compact disc player and speakers, two prayer boxes and other miscellaneous items were taken in the burglary of the church and the first residence.

Tolar said lamost all of the items have been recovered.

“The officers and investigators did an oustanding job bringing this case to a conclusion,” said Tolar.

University offering drought assistance for farmers

BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian

University of Tennessee Extension has launched a new effort to assist the state’s farmers and ranchers as they respond to the historic and unseasonably hot and dry weather – weather that is causing crops to wither and turning pastures to dust plots. The impacts are already far-reaching, with estimated drastic reductions in harvests, especially in feed available for livestock this fall.

A meeting will be held in Jackson by UT Extension to help the farmers.

The first will be July 27, 5:30-9 p.m., at the UT Extension Western Region Office.

Through a public website, farmers have direct access online to information that can help them make the critical and decisions necessary to keep their operations and families financially viable. Information specific to Tennessee production systems has been collected and cross-linked on the website: https://utextension. tennessee.edu/drought/.

Dr. Justin Rhinehart, UT Extension beef cattle specialist, is coordinating

the effort, which includes livestock specialists, plant and pest specialists, veterinarians, family science experts, environmental engineers, horticulturists, and forestry and wildlife experts from across the state.

Rhinehart says the webpage is a collection of resources that were already available to the state’s producers. “The information is collected in one comprehensive website,” he said. “The majority of the listed publications have been developed by UT Institute of Agriculture faculty and staff specifically to help Tennessee farmers and families cope with the immediate negative consequences of drought and high temperature.”

Additional links are provided to resources available from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, including a hay directory for producers struggling to provide feed for livestock.

“The record temperatures coupled with the lack of rainfall is really having an impact on farmers, who are seeing their crops wilt and their pastures and water

sources dry up,” state Agriculture Commissioner Julius Johnson said.

The information collected on the pages is also relevant for everyday citizens and homeowners. “Some of the linked information includes tips on reducing power usage during extreme heat and lawn and garden management during drought,” Rhinehart said. “There are even links relevant to working with kids and heat stress in the elderly.”

UT Extension is also coordinating a series of livestock producer meetings to assist with the increasing dire situation of the state’s forage and pastures. Two meetings will be held in each grand division of the state: The drought response website will be an ongoing project and materials and links will be continually updated and added, said Rhinehart. He also reminds folks that they have direct, personal access to experts with the University of Tennessee in every county. “Your UT County Extension Agent is available to work with you on your unique situation,” he said.

Clinton visits patients at St. Jude

BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former President Bill Clinton says research being done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis is helping increase the survival rate for children who have cancer.

Clinton visited pa-

tients and their parents at the hospital Friday before heading to nearby Horn Lake, Miss. for the unveiling of a new electric car.

Clinton also spoke with doctors and praised them for their work on the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project. The project is attempting to find better ways to treat diseases that

affect children, including cancers of the eye, blood, brain and nervous system.

The hospital, founded by the late actor Danny Thomas, treats child cancer patients from all over the world. It also hosts foreign doctors, who then apply what they learned when they return to their home countries.

Judicial betrayal of oath to Constitution Betrayal is hard to take, whether in our personal lives or in the political life of the nation. Yet there are people in Washington — too often, Republicans — who start living in the Beltway atmosphere, and start forgetting those hundreds of millions of Americans beyond the Beltway who trusted them to do right by them, to use their wisdom instead of their cleverness.

President Bush 41 epitomized these betrayals when he broke his “read my lips, no new taxes” pledge. He paid the price when he quickly went from high approval ratings as president to someone defeated for reelection by a little known governor from Arkansas.

Chief Justice John Roberts need fear no such fate because he has lifetime tenure on the Court. But conscience Thomas Supreme can be a more implacable and Sowell inescapable punisher.

The Chief Justice probably Columnist made as good a case as could be made for upholding the constitutionality of ObamaCare by defining one of its key features as a “tax.”

The legislation didn't call it a tax and Chief Justice Roberts admitted that this might not be the most “natural” reading of the law. But he fell back on the long-standing principle of judicial interpretation that the courts should not declare a law unconstitutional if it can be reasonably read in a way that would make it constitutional, out of “deference” to the legislative branch of government.

How far do you bend over backwards to avoid the obvious, that ObamaCare was an unprecedented extension of federal power over the lives of 300 million Americans today and of generations yet unborn?

These are the people that Chief Justice Roberts betrayed when he declared constitutional something that is nowhere authorized in the Constitution of the United States.

John Roberts is no doubt a brainy man, and that seems to carry a lot of weight among the intelligentsia — despite glaring lessons from history, showing very brainy men creating everything from absurdities to catastrophes.

One of the Chief Justice's admirers said that when others are playing checkers, he is playing chess. How much consolation that will be as a footnote to the story of the decline of individual freedom in America, and the wrecking of the best medical care in the world, is another story.

There are many speculations as to why Chief Justice Roberts did what he did, some attributing noble and far-sighted reasons, and others attributing petty and short-sighted reasons, including personal vanity. But all of that is ultimately irrelevant.

What he did was betray his oath to be faithful to the Constitution of the United States.

Who he betrayed were the hundreds of millions of Americans — past, present and future — whole generations in the past who have fought and died for a freedom that he has put in jeopardy, in a moment of intellectual inspiration and moral forgetfulness, 300 million Americans today whose lives are to be regimented by Washington bureaucrats, and generations yet unborn who may never know the individual freedoms that their ancestors took for granted.

Some claim that Chief Justice Roberts did what he did to save the Supreme Court as an institution from the wrath — and retaliation — of those in Congress who have been railing against Justices who invalidate the laws they have passed. Many in the media and in academia have joined the shrill chorus of those who claim that the Supreme Court does not show proper “deference” to the legislative branch of government.

But what does the Bill of Rights seek to protect the ordinary citizen from? The government! To defer to those who expand government power beyond its constitutional limits is to betray those whose freedom depends on the Bill of Rights.

Similar reasoning was used back in the 1970s to justify the Federal Reserve's inflationary policies. Otherwise, it was said, Congress would destroy the Fed's independence, as it can also change the courts' jurisdiction. But is it better for an institution to undermine its own independence, and freedom along with it, while forfeiting the trust of the people in the process?

ECO car looks like Mississippi today STARKVILLE —Stepping out the back door of the Mississippi State University Library several weeks ago, I was reminded briefly of the self-serving remarks of North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue that sought to make Mississippi the political whip- Sid Salter ping boy of 61 Columnist percent of her state’s voters to become the 30th state to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Perdue’s reaction: “Folks are saying what in the world is going on in North Carolina. We look like Mississippi.” Perdue’s cheap shot ignored the fact that her perception of what Mississippi “looks like” is based far more on stereotype than fact.

Politically, what Gov. Perdue might have said was that the vote in North Carolina “looked like the South” or “looked like the Red states” and would have been correct on the issue of gay marriage rights. But “like Mis-

sissippi?” That was a slap at Mississippi that deserved the ire it produced from our leaders.

Across the street from the MSU library’s back entrance -- on the university’s “engineering row” -- was something that truly “looks like Mississippi” today. It was the MSU EcoCAR model, a re-engineered General Motors SUV that gets 118 mpg and has a 60-mile all-electric driving range.

That research was done

by MSU undergraduate and graduate students here in Starkville -- not in the vaunted North Carolina Research Triangle, Gov. Perdue.

The MSU Alternative Vehicle Design Team was formed eight years ago for ChallengeX, a four-year EcoCAR competition that MSU ultimately won Recently, the MSU team won the first year of a threeyear competition sponsored

by GM and the Department of Energy on the ECO Car 2 -- again designed by MSU’s Alternative Vehicle Design Team – in which 15 North American universities are tasked “to re-engineer a

2013 Chevrolet Malibu to improve its efficiency while maintaining safety and consumer appeal.”

MSU engineers outpointed colleagues at the Ohio State University and the University of Waterloo on the way to winning the competition by producing a Chevrolet Malibu vehicle redesign that is projected to get 81.4 mpg and have a 57-mile allelectric driving range.

The MSU team now consists of 80 graduate and undergraduate students from 16 different majors. They are led by faculty advisor Marshall Molen. Readers can learn more about the research at www.msuecocar2. com.

Is the research relevant?

Well, Gov. Phil Bryant just took part in the announcement of an additional 1,000 Mississippi jobs at the Nissan plant in Canton as the company brings production of the Nissan Sentra to the Magnolia State.

And while MSU is rightly proud of what the Carnegie Foundation calls “very high research activity” status on this campus, state-of-the-

art research in other fields is going on at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and among the polymer science researchers at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Those subjects just scratch the surface. The contributions that Mississippi researchers and scholars are making toward creating a future in which all Americans can be more energy independent, can live longer, and live better might not fit the stereotype of political cheap shot artists like Gov. Perdue, but those contributions are what Mississippi “looks like” and the view’s getting better every day.

For the last two weeks, MSU’s Alternative Vehicle Design Team and their winning projects were on the National Mall in Washington as part of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. More than a million visitors got a change to see first-hand what Mississippi really “looks like.”

An election in Mexico nobody came to

BY MICHAEL BARONE That’s more or less what happened last Sunday in Mexico, at least as far as most American journalists (including me) are concerned.

That’s a vivid contrast with the last three presidential elections in Mexico, which had enormous consequences for that country and for the United States.

I happened to be in Mexico on vacation in spring 1994 when Luis Donaldo Colosio, the candidate of the ruling PRI party, was assassinated. I listened to the radio broadcast as Ernesto Zedillo, speaking shakily, accepted the party’s nomination to succeed him.

As with every PRI candidate since 1929, he won the election in July.

In 2000, I was in Mexico to cover the election in which Vicente Fox, candidate of the center-right PAN party, was elected -the first opposition victory in 71 years.

I was there as the PAN crowd was celebrating at the Angel of Independence statute on the Paseo de la Reforma. As they jumped up and down in rhythm to a classic Mexican song, I felt the earth move -- it turns out that the boulevard is built on spongy fill land that vibrates under stress.

And in 2006 I was in Mexico City as PAN candidate Felipe Calderon beat the left-wing mayor of Mexico City, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, by 1 percent of the vote. AMLO’s followers protested the result for months, occupying the Reforma Boulevard and separating the capital in two.

These elections effectively ended the one-party rule of the PRI, whose very name -the party of the institutional revolution -- suggested its peculiar nature.

It was established in 1929, after two decades of revolutionary violence.

Each Mexican president would serve for a single six-year term, and in the last year would pick his successor -- put his finger, or dedazo, on him -- who would be nominated by the PRI. After a campaign of elaborate ceremony around the country, he would be routinely elected.

The PRI system appealed to an Aztec sensibility, containing as it did elements of elaborate ceremony, calendrical regularity and (in the expulsion of the former president) human sacrifice.

For about 35 years, the PRI system worked tolerably well. Mexico’s economy grew, and its centralized institutions -- the government-owned Pemex oil mo-

nopoly, the favored Televisa broadcasting network -- accommodated themselves to one handpicked president after another.

From 1968, when soldiers massacred several hundred protesting students in the weeks before the Mexico City Olympics, it worked less well. Carlos Salinas, the winner in 1988 in an election many considered fraudulent, saw that the system had to be changed.

Salinas negotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement and ordered Televisa to conduct an exit poll to validate the next election. He nonetheless handpicked Colosio and then Zedillo to succeed him.

Zedillo declined to exercise the dedazo, and on election night in 2000, when the PRI candidate claimed fraud, went on television and said, “I recognize that Vicente Fox is the next president of Mexico.” That was the end of 71 years of one-party rule.

Six years later, Mexico narrowly avoided a victory by the leftist Lopez Obrador, which would have undoubtedly held back its economy.

Now it has better economic growth than the United States, and as former Foreign Secretary Jorge Castaneda points out, it’s a majority middle-class country.

And one with something like a normal politics. The winner in Sunday’s election was PRI candidate Enrique Pena Nieto, who got 38 percent of the vote, to 32 percent for AMLO and 25 percent for PAN’s Josefina Vasquez Mota.

But Pena will not bring back the old PRI system.

He won based on his record as governor of the state of Mexico and his fame as the husband of a telenovela actress.

He has promised to get rid of the law prohibiting Pemex from making contracts with private oil service firms, one of the hallmarks of the old PRI system.

It’s not clear whether he’ll keep that promise, or whether he’ll continue Calderon’s aggressive fight against drug traffickers. As for immigration, it appears that the flow of Mexicans to the U.S. has been reversed since 2007.

What is clear is that Mexico has become a neighbor much easier to live with.

State Attorneys feud over impact of state abortion law

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Attorneys for the state of Mississippi are trying to persuade a federal judge to let a restrictive new abortion law take effect, while those representing the state's only abortion clinic are asking the judge to extend the temporary hold he put on the law.

The opposing sides filed their latest court documents Friday, a deadline set by U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III. Jordan issued an order

July 1, stopping the state from immediately enforcing a law that requires physicians performing abortions at the clinic to have privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.

The order came the same day the law was supposed to take effect.

The judge will hold a hearing Wednesday in Jackson to consider whether to extend that order.

The clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, filed a lawsuit June 27 seeking to stop the law from being used. The

clinic says the law could put it out of business and deny women access to a constitutionally protected procedure.

The clinic's attorneys, Robert McDuff of Jackson and Michelle Movahed of the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York, argued in papers filed Friday that the clinic will face irreparable harm if the state is allowed to enforce the law.

The clinic said Friday it does not know when, if ever, it would be able to get hospital admitting privileges for its two out-

of-state physicians who do abortions.

“If all of the local hospitals deny privileges, it will then be even more clear that the act has not only the purpose, but the effect, of denying reproductive freedom to the women of Mississippi,” the clinic's attorneys wrote.

Two Mississippi special assistant attorneys general, Benjamin Bryant and Roger Googe, wrote that the law is designed to protect patients.

“The state has substantial reason for concern

regarding the health and safety record of Jackson Women's Health Organization,” the state attorneys wrote.

The state attorneys wrote that Diane Derzis, who owns Jackson Women's Health Organization, also owned a clinic in Alabama that was shut down because of health violations.

“Inspection reports compiled by the Alabama authorities contain evidence that clinic staff failed to respond to complaints of post-surgical

complications,” the Mississippi attorneys wrote.

“Derzis resolved the matter with the state of Alabama by entering into a consent order in which she agreed not to run the clinic.”

Derzis told reporters Monday in Jackson that since 2010 when she acquired Jackson Women's Health Organization, there has been no need to call an ambulance to the clinic because of complications from abortions. She said she would call an ambulance, if one were needed.

Tombstone falls on, kills Utah boy, 4 PARK CITY, Utah — A 6-foot-tall tombstone that weighed hundreds of pounds fell on and killed a 4-year-old boy who was posing for photos with family and friends at a historic cemetery in a Utah ski resort town, authorities said.

Carson Dean Cheney was holding onto the headstone Thursday when some metal connecting it to the pedestal broke, said Park City police Capt. Phil Kirk.

Some of the children being photographed were not being responsive, so Carson tried to help the photographer — his father — by pretending to be a leprechaun and making them laugh, said Curtis Morley, a family friend. Morley said the boy went behind a tombstone and was playfully poking his head out from behind it when it fell on him.

“Carson passed away while trying to make others smile,” Morley said.

Carson was just about to enter kindergarten, loved to ride his bike and was “full of life,” said his grandmother, Geri Gibbs.

“There's still so much disbelief and sorrow and anguish,” she said.

“We just keep waiting for the door to open up and Carson to come through, a happy little

boy.”

She said it took three men to pull the slab off the boy, and rescuers “did everything they could possibly do.”

The child suffered injuries to his head, chest and abdomen and was taken to the nearby Park City Medical Center, where he died.

Authorities were still investigating Friday.

Gibbs said the boy and his family were visiting from Lehi, about an hour away. Morley, who works with the boy's father, Zac Cheney, at a professional services firm in Salt Lake City, said Zac Cheney does photography in his spare time and was shooting portraits at the cemetery because of its extensive landscaping.

Extreme heat bakes Midwest, East Coast PHILADELPHIA — The heat gripping much of the country was set to peak Saturday in many places, including some Northeast cities, where temperatures close to or surpassing 100 degrees are expected in Philadelphia and New York.

Temperatures were also forecast to remain high in the Midwest.

Excessive heat warnings continue in several states including Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. In Fort Wayne, Ind., temperatures could reach 106 degrees, but feel more

like 114.

And tens of thousands remained without power Friday night in the midAtlantic, where extreme heat is expected into the weekend. A local utility says damage from a major storm last week and high demand for power during the heat are stressing the electrical system's capabilities.

Relief is on the way in the form of a cold front as the weekend ends, but forecasters expect it to bring severe weather, too.

Yahoo, Facebook settle patent dispute SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook and Yahoo have agreed to settle a patent dispute. This averts a potentially bitter battle over the technology running two of the Internet's most popular destinations.

They have agreed to drop their lawsuits and license each other's patents.

They are also agreeing to an advertising alliance that expands their existing partnership.

Friday's settlement comes after a months-long patent squabble between the two Internet icons.

The advertising alliance could help Yahoo recover some of the revenue that it has been losing to newer companies such as Facebook.

For Facebook, the deal ends a potential distraction less than two months after it went public.

Tepid jobs data set a tone for presidential debate

BY BEN FELLER & JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Disappointing job growth jolted the presidential campaign four months before Election Day, and the candidates quickly put their vastly different views on display, un-

derscoring the economy as the central issue between President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney.

Obama sought consolation from hiring figures that showed at least some job growth still under way, calling them a “step

in the right direction” and pleading with voters to stick with him. Romney spoke of misery across the nation, warned Obama would do nothing but deepen it and addressed a disgruntled middle class by saying, “This kick in the gut has got to end.”

Overall, the stand-pat nature of the new data was not a game-changer in the close presidential contest — one in which the president's approval ratings hover around or slightly below 50 percent and he retains a slight lead, if any, over Romney.

And while no president since the Great Depression has sought re-election with unemployment as high as it is now, Obama has proven to be a resilient cam-

paigner while Romney has come under conservative criticism, accused of playing it too safe and muddling his message.

The lackluster jobs report showed a net of only 80,000 jobs created in June and an unemployment rate unchanged at 8.2 percent. The monthly snapshot has taken on outsized importance, providing a plain measure by which to judge the president and give Romney

further grounds to attack.

Yet even as the economy dominates the political landscape, fallout from the Supreme Court's decision on health care and Romney's shifting response to it also continues to reverberate.

The president accused Romney of caving in to the pressure of conservatives in his party on the question of whether the health insurance requirement carries a “penalty” or a “tax.” The former governor of Massachusetts had little to say when pressed about that, turning all attention back to job creation and Obama's record, the areas where he wants to compete and win.

“It's still tough out there,” Obama conceded to a campaign crowd in Poland, Ohio, a small town outside Youngstown. He noted that the private sector jobs created in June contributed to 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs.

“That's a step in the right direction,” he said.

But he added: “We've got to grow the economy even faster, and we have to put even more people back to work.”

Business & Farm Minerals key to cattle production

FRI

13,000

Daily Corinthian â&#x20AC;˘ Sunday, July 8, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ 7A

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to touch on an area that is oftentimes overlooked. That area is providing minerals for your cattle. I believe that this point cannot be over stressed.

Not only d u r i n g the winter months when cattle are being supplePatrick mented but Poindexter minerals need to be Ag Lines provided throughout the year as well, especially during hot, dry weather much like we are experiencing in the area right now.

Minerals play very important roles in practically every aspect of the cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth and reproductive performance.

Minerals can be provided relatively easily in the form of supplements and addition to feedstuffs.

You can check the label on the bag of feed that you are using to see what proportions of minerals your animals are receiving from that feed. Another thing to remember during hot weather is to always have fresh, clean water available for your animals in addition to the minerals. Adult cattle will ingest between 16 to 30 gallons of water per day during the hot summer months.

Oftentimes you will hear people talk about macro minerals and trace minerals. Macro minerals include calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and sulfur. The trace minerals include chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iron, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silicon, and zinc.

Failure to meet the minimum mineral requirements in cattle can and will result in problems.

These problems may take to time to show up but can manifest themselves very quickly in some instances. Symptoms of deficiencies can include poor growth, reproductive problems, poor milk production, calving difficulties, neurological dysfunctions and death.

One deficiency that is well known is referred to as grass tetany (hypomagnesemia). This is one you need to be on the look-out for if you turn your cattle in on ryegrass this winter.

It often affects cows that are lactating shortly after grazing lush, succulent grasses. It is a deficiency of magnesium. This can be prevented by making sure you have adequate magnesium in the diet or the supplement that you are providing.

There are several commercial mineral mixes that are available to producers. Some producers make their mixes, if you

are one of these producers make sure that you are meeting the minimum requirements of your cattle.

As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said before, what works for one person wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily work for another. Mineral mixes can vary depending on what types of conditions and situations your cattle are under. Make sure to make the minerals accessible to your cattle.

Using a mineral feeder helps eliminate waste due to weather and the cattle themselves.

Whether your using mineral blocks or bagged minerals keep in mind how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being fed so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up losing minerals due to wastage.

If you have any questions about mineral supplementation please feel free to call me at the Alcorn County Extension Service at 286-7755 or you can look us up on the web at www.msucares. com.

US hiring improved modestly in June

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hiring likely picked up slightly in June after sputtering in April and May. But the gains aren't expected to be enough to lower the unemployment rate.

Analysts forecast that the economy gained only 90,000 jobs last month, according to a survey by FactSet. It would mark a third straight month of weak job growth. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 8.2 percent.

The Labor Department will report on June hiring and unemployment at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time Friday.

Some economists grew more optimistic on Thursday after a pair of reports signaled improvement in the job market last month. The government said fewer people applied for unemployment benefits for the second straight week. And payroll provider ADP said businesses added 176,000 jobs last month, up from its reported gain of 136,000 jobs in May. Goldman Sachs responded to the better data by raising its forecast to a gain of 125,000 jobs last month, up from its initial prediction of 75,000.

Still, the economy and the job market remain lackluster. Even a gain of 125,000 jobs is only enough, over time, to keep up with population growth and prevent the unemployment rate from rising.

In April and May, employers added an average

of just 73,000 jobs. That was far fewer than the 226,000 a month added in the first three months of the year. And it's far too low to reduce the unemployment rate.

Another weak month of hiring could benefit Mitt Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

President Barack Obama is expected to face voters with the highest unemployment rate of any president since the Great Depression, and the economy is the top issue for many voters.

Griffin, Harden, Iguodala finish roster The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala and James Harden were chosen Saturday to complete the roster for the U.S. Olympic basketball team.

They earned the final three spots that opened after a rash of injuries knocked out at least four players who would have been on the team. They beat out Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay and No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of New Orleans, who couldn’t scrimmage this week because of a sprained ankle.

Also heading to London for the defending gold medalists are: LeBron James, Kobe Bry-

Couples Tournament

ant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love.

USA Basketball Jerry Colangelo acknowledged the adversity the team faced with all the injuries before the players were introduced during a press conference, all wearing their white USA jerseys.

“But as the dust settles, I’m proud to say that we’ve put together in my opinion a terrific team with great athleticism and great versatility and we believe we’re going to be successful,” Colangelo said.

Griffin showed he was healthy again after being

slowed by a knee injury during the playoffs, putting on an impressive dunking display following practice Saturday.

Harden, the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year with Oklahoma City, gives the Americans more scoring punch off the bench, and Iguodala is a defensive specialist who can guard multiple positions.

The Americans lost Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to injuries in recent months, forcing them to scrap plans to name their 12-man roster on June 18. They asked the US Olympic Committee for a roster extension and added Harden and Davis to their

original pool of finalists chosen in January.

Colangelo was intrigued by Davis’ skills, but the national player of the year at Kentucky sprained his ankle last week and was not able to take part this week, robbing him of a chance to show he was ready to handle international competition now.

James, Bryant, Anthony, Paul and Williams were all part of the 2008 Olympic gold medalists. Durant, Westbrook, Chandler and Love played on the world championship team two years ago.

Harper, Bourn added to roster The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Nationals manager Davey Johnson was talking to general manager Mike Rizzo on Saturday when he called for Bryce Harper to come over.

Harper thought it was one of two things: “I was thinking I was going down because Rizzo and everybody was over there or the All-Star game,” he said.

Next stop, baseball’s showcase game in Kansas City.

The 19-year-old Harper became the youngest position player to make the Midsummer Classic and third youngest All-Star ever when NL manager Tony La Russa selected the precocious outfielder to replace injured Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton.

Atlanta Braves speedster Michael Bourn also made the NL team Saturday, replacing Washington Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond.

“Words can’t explain it right now,” Harper said following Washington’s 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. “I think it’s exciting to go and I’m excited to get there and be around all the top guys in the country, of course, top guys in baseball. So I’m just going to take it all in, try to enjoy it with the family and try to just be as mellow and calm as I can.”

Stanton left in the third inning of Miami’s 3-2 loss at St. Louis and the Marlins said he would have arthroscopic right knee surgery on Sunday, shelving one of baseball’s best young sluggers for next week’s All-Star festivities.

Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen will take his spot for Monday night’s home run derby. Desmond has been dealing with a left oblique strain and is going to use the break to rest. He consulted with team doctors, management and La Russa before the decision was made to skip the game.

“It’s definitely a tough decision, one that we spent quite a few days kind of mulling over,” said Desmond, a first-time All-Star. “But in the end I think it’s best for the team and best for myself to take the rest. I would hate to be two, three weeks down the road and something happened and I didn’t take the four days to rest my body and put the team first.”

New faces dot landscape in MLB’s 1st half The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Mike Trout is burning up the base paths in Los Angeles. Bryce Harper is rocking and rolling in D.C. And the standings in both leagues are dotted with newcomers like the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates who are surprisingly in the hunt for the playoffs.

Suddenly the Grand Old Game has a fresh-faced new edge to it as the season passes the halfway point and heads into the All-Star break. As the big leagues prepare to convene in Kansas City for the midsummer classic, the 20-year-old Trout has electrified the Angels and brought them back into contention in the AL West, the Orioles are within shouting distance of the mighty New York Yankees in the AL East and the young Pirates are finally playing a brand of ball worthy of that

gem of a ballpark in Pittsburgh.

One of the dusty old arguments used to criticize baseball is that the game is too often dominated by the same teams and same stars. Derek Jeter and the Yankees still lead the AL East, but David Ortiz and the Red Sox are looking up at Adam Jones and Baltimore in baseball’s best division, the veteran Philadelphia Phillies are buried in the cellar in the NL East and the defending champion Cardinals don’t look quite like themselves yet in the post Pujols era.

It’s no wonder that baseball officials are seeing rising attendance this season. There are some charismatic young stars that are giving fans new reasons to get off their couches and head to the ballpark to see what all the fuss is about.

It all starts with Trout, who is hitting .343 with 10 hom-

ers and 23 stolen bases in 60 games this season, becoming the rare power-speed dual threat.

“He’s been a game-changer, offensively, defensively,” New York manager Joe Girardi said earlier this season. “The kid has got a lot of talent, a ton. Usually when you see a guy that fast, you don’t anticipate him hitting the ball that hard. What he’s doing at 20, it’s really pretty amazing.

You think about it, most guys don’t hit triples down the leftfield line.”

And Trout isn’t even the youngest star setting the league on fire these days.

Harper rocketed through the minor leagues to reach the big time at just 19, doing it his own way with a cocky attitude that rankled some of the old guard. Cole Hamels even drew a suspension for hitting Harper in the back early in the season.

Harper stole home an inning after being hit by Hamels, and he’s hitting .280 with eight homers and has shown off his rocket arm in the outfield to help the Nationals to the top of the division. He and Stephen Strasburg are giving the Redskins a run for their money as the most popular athletes in town. Attendance is up 32 percent in an area that hasn’t seen a first-place baseball team since 1933.

“When you go into restaurants, fans are coming up to you and shaking your hand,” Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond said, “saying we appreciate what you’ve done for us and done for the city.”

Andrew McCutchen, the 25-year-old speedster in center field, was hitting .360 with 16 homers and 54 RBIs as of Thursday to help revive the Pirates.

Back at top: Williams wins 5th Wimbledon The Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months.

The high point came Saturday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, when Williams dropped down to the grass, hands covering her face. She was all the way back, a Grand Slam champion yet again.

Her serve as good as there is, her grit as good as ever, Williams was dominant at the start and finish, beating Agnieszka

Radwanska of Poland 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 to win a fifth championship at the All England Club and 14th major title overall, ending a two-year drought.

“I just remember, I was on the couch and I didn’t leave the whole day, for two days. I was just over it. I was praying, like, ‘I can’t take any more. I’ve endured enough. Let me be

able to get through this,”’ recalled Williams, a former No. 1 whose ranking slid to 175th after a fourth-round loss at the All England Club last year, her second tournament back.

“Coming here and winning today is amazing,” she said.

this team was deeper and better than the ’08 squad, but added that “only time will tell.”

The injuries leave the Americans short-handed at center, where Howard started four years ago in Beijing and Bosh backed him up. Chandler is the only natural center left, so the Americans will be forced to use some players out of their normal NBA positions.

But what remains is still the most athletic team in the world, with potent scorers at nearly every spot, and the Americans will look to overcome any size disadvantage by punishing teams in transition.

The Americans opened training camp Friday and will practice here through next Wednesday, then play an exhibition game against the Dominican Republic on Thursday.

The players who were not selected will be alternates who could be replacements in case of further injuries up until 48 hours before the July 27 start of the Olympics.

James and Anthony will be playing in their third Olympics for a U.S. team with an average age is 26.1 years

Paul has sprained thumb The U.S. Olympic basketball team says guard Chris Paul’s injury is a sprained right thumb.

Paul was hurt Friday during the first day of training camp and had an X-ray that revealed the injury. He took part in some non-contact portions of practice Saturday, but did not scrimmage with the Americans.

The Los Angeles Clippers AllStar had a protective splint over the thumb and likely will sit out scrimmages for a few days.

San Diego fireworks go off in single massive blast

BY ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Trolley was packed.

Hotel rooms facing the bay were sold out. And local radio was set to simulcast a patriotic score for the Fourth of July show.

But instead of 20 minutes of fireworks, the crowd in San Diego got about 20 seconds of giant, deafening booms after a computer mishap sent multiple bulb-shaped explosions over the bay.

The show's producer blamed a “technical glitch” Thursday, saying an error in its computer system caused tens of thousands of fireworks on four barges to go off simultaneously with a single command.

“It was like a giant, serious bomb went off,” said Mike Newton, 29, a photographer who watched from a friend's 28th-floor apartment. “That's what it looked like and felt like. It hit you right in the chest.”

There were no reported injuries and Garden State Fireworks, based in Millington, N.J., apologized and vowed to determine precisely what went wrong. The 122-yearold company produced hundreds of other shows across the country Wednesday night.

August Santore, partowner of Garden State Fireworks, said the company felt terrible, but the mood was unforgiving among many of the hundreds of

thousands of people who witnessed the explosions before they could get off their first “ooh” or “ah.”

A patriotic score was set to be simulcast on a local radio station. The show was set to stream live on the Web. The crowd stood in quiet disbelief, with many wondering what just happened to a show billed as the Big Bay Boom. Word went out on the radio about 20 minutes later that it was over.

Bre Nelson, a 26-yearold wedding planner, watched from a hillside street packed with “tons and tons of people and cars.”

“It was really neat to see the entire sky light up but

then we just waited there,” said Nelson. “Everyone was just sitting around.”

By late Thursday afternoon, the fireworks flop had become a hit online with about 2 million views of the footage on YouTube.

Sponsors contributed about $380,000 to host the show, said Sandy Purdon, owner of a bay marina and the chief organizer.

The Port of San Diego contributed $145,000 as title sponsor, with hotels and restaurants giving much of the rest.

The port district gave an additional $50,000 worth of services, including traffic control, portable toilets and cleanup.

The fireworks cost $125,000 and the barges

and tugs cost $45,000, Purdon said. After permits, publicity, buses and other costs, there was about $50,000 left, which was earmarked to help young military families though the San Diego Armed Services YMCA. The port district said in a statement that it was “very disappointed” in what it described as an apparent technical error.

It was unclear if anyone will get reimbursed. Purdon, who witnessed the explosions from his home with his sponsors, said he had discussed with Garden State Fireworks the possibility that it foots the bill for next year's Fourth of July show.

Garden State Fireworks

has staged pyrotechnic displays for the 1988 Winter Olympics, the Statue of Liberty Bicentennial Celebration and New Year's Eve in Central Park in New York.

“We are a good strong company, and we rely on technology. We'll take the ridicule as long as no one was injured,” Santore said.

The debacle will likely fuel a long-running controversy in San Diego about damage that fireworks displays inflict on marine life. Environmental attorney Marco Gonzalez has repeatedly challenged shows that take place over water, inviting ire and ridicule from critics including San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders.

CT-A honors volunteers with Magnolia Awards

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Theatre-Arts production of “Steel Magnolias” was the night’s big winner at last Saturday’s Magnolia Awards, the annual event in which CT-A honors those who made outstanding contributions to the theater season.

“Steel Magnolias” racked up five awards in total — the most of any other play — including the award for Outstanding Production.

“That was a great feeling for me,” said Director David Maxedon. “I’m so excited for the ladies of ‘Steel Magnolias,’ who worked so hard, to have their talents recognized.”

Staged June 1-3, “Steel Magnolias” won the awards for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Barbara Rogers); Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role (Mary McRae); Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Cindy Howie); Outstanding Set; and Outstanding Production (Paul Locke and Gentry Parker, producers).

All of the season’s productions were well-represented in the awards standing.

The 2012 Magnolia Awards also celebrated CT-A’s return to the Crossroads Playhouse after two seasons in temporary locations following the 2010 Corinth flood. For the return home, Magnolia Awards wanted to make the event extra special.

“We decided to celebrate our homecoming,” said Maxedon.

“We said, ‘Let’s make it an elegant evening — like a true awards show. Let’s give our patrons and season tickets holders something extra.”

Leland Hendrix served as master of ceremonies for the night. Hendrix opened with a rewritten version of “Fully Dressed” from “Annie” — a tip of the hat to things that happened in the 2011-12 season.

“He did a wonderful job and got a lot of laughs from the audience,” Maxedon said. “It was a great way to warm.”

Maxedon praised the Theatre Guild for adding flair and elegance to sponsors’ night events throughout the season.

The battleflag of the 42nd Alabama Infantry, the unit of Lt. Charles Labuzan.

Lt. Charles Labuzan Witness to a nightmare

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

One of the most often repeated quotes of the Civil War comes from the pen of Union general William T. Sherman who said, “War is hell.” He was right, of course, but the quote is perhaps the greatest understatement of all time. Just three words to state how horrific war can be. In truth, there is no describing the horrors of war. Some tried to express what they went through in letters home but they rarely went into graphic detail to the folks at home. It was simply too much to describe the shocking sights while assuring family and friends they were fine and there was no need for worry.

Boys in their teens and early 20s became men, often sooner than they should have had to. Occasionally one of these young men would attempt to describe the indescribable. One of these was Charles Labuzan of Mobile, Ala. Charles had a nice job before the war started.

He was the acting British Consul in Mobile, a lofty position for a 20-yearold. Then along came the war and in April 1861 young Charles enlisted in the “Mobile Rifles,” which soon became the 3rd Alabama Infantry. He ended up taking a promotion into a second regiment which ended 12 months of service without seeing

any action.

Lt. Labuzan then signed on with his third and final unit, the 42nd Alabama Infantry. In June of 1862 the new regiment arrived in Tupelo and took up Provost duties, sort of like MPs or Military Police. The chance to see action was dashed again when the Army of Tennessee marched away on campaign and the 42nd was left behind. At long last they were assigned to the new Army of West Tennessee under Gen. Earl Van Dorn, and by the 30th of September they were marching north from Ripley headed for Corinth.

Charles’ baptism of fire came on October 3rd when his brigade charged the old Confederate earthworks near Oliver’s Hill. For the first time he saw men killed and wounded and, amazingly, took time to make entries in his journal. “Am writing on the battlefield at 2 ½ o’clock while heavy firing of artillery is going on ahead.” The regiment was in the thick of it in the fighting around Battery F. “Within about 50 yards they opened an awful fire and our men fell flat on their faces and replied with awful ruin.”

He spent the night on a captured “yankee” blanket talking with his close friend Gatsby about the men they had seen shot and what the morning would bring. It would

prove to be far worse than anything they had ever seen.

An artillery bombardment woke Charles at 4 a.m. “The shells flew thick and fast cutting off large limbs and filling the air with fragments, many burst within twenty feet and the pieces passed within two or three.” At 10:15 Col. William P. Rogers of the 2nd Texas Infantry called on the men of the 42nd Alabama to join in a charge against Battery Robinett. The men of Alabama responded.

“Rising the crest of the hill the whole of Corinth with its enemy fortifications burst upon our view.

The US flag was floating over the forts and in town.

We were now met by a perfect storm of grape, canister and cannon balls and minie balls. Oh God, I have never seen the like, the men fell like grass. I saw men running at full speed stop suddenly and fall on their faces with their brains scattered all around with legs or arms cut off shrieking within a few feet of me. I gave myself to God and got ahead of my company.

The ground was literally strewn with corpses.

I rushed to the ditch of the fort right between some large cannon. A man within 2 feet of me put his head cautiously up to shoot into the fort but he suddenly dropped his musket and his brains

Lt. Charles Labuzan’s grave can be found in Monroe County, Ala., where the Civil War veteran died in peace at the age of 90 in June 1930. were dashed in a stream over my fine coat. Oh, we were butchered like dogs.

I could see men falling as they attempted to run some with their heads to pieces and others with blood streaming down their backs. It was horrible. One poor fellow lying almost on top of me told me his name and asked me to take his pocket book if I escaped and give it to his mother and tell her he died a brave man.

I asked him if he was a Christian and told him to pray which he did with cannon thundering deadly accompaniment.”

Miraculously, Charles not only survived, but was not even wounded.

He took cover behind a stump and the enemy captured him at the end of the fight. He remained a prisoner in Corinth for several days but was given permission to walk the battlefield to look for his friend. The terror of the field returned to him as he walked among the dead. He saw Col. Rogers “shot with four balls” and several others but not his good friend Gatsby, who he would later learn had made it through the fight unscathed. He was treated well by his captors, one Union captain even going so far as to take him to his quarters where “he pressed a clean shirt on me so humanely that I

could not refuse.”

Lazuban was paroled and soon exchanged for another soldier and returned to duty. He was captured again at Vicksburg and a third time at the end of the war while in a Georgia hospital.

With his parole in hand he returned to Mobile and took a job as a produce merchant. He married rather late in life and a single child, a daughter, gave him three wonderful grandchildren. The years in uniform had ruined his health but despite the ravages of time and war he lived to be 90 years old, finally joining his fallen comrades in June of 1930.

Shiloh National Military Park offering kids camps July 12-14 Special to the Daily Corinthian

Shiloh National Military Park Superintendent John Bundy is pleased to announce three days of fun and educational day camps for local children.

The camps will be held at various locations on the battlefield from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 12, 13, and 14. Each day will consist of different and exciting activities that relate to Shiloh National Military Park.

The first day, children will discover and explore the 800-year-old Native American mound complex located on the park. Day two will encourage children to become stewards of the land, by teaching them about wildlife, water quality, and the native trees of Shiloh. The camp will end on day three with “School of the Soldier,” a Civil War camp; where children will experience what it was like to be a soldier during the Civil War. “We are excited to present this opportunity to area children. We hope the fun-filled, yet educational, activities will introduce young people to the importance of preservation and commemoration in an exciting environment. The youngsters will be able to trace the history of Shiloh, from the early Native Americans through the turbulent times of the Civil War, and visualize what life would have been like for past generations,” stated Superintendent Bundy.

Children ages 9-11 years old are invited to participate in one of the camps, or sign up for all three!

All camps will be located out of doors, so children will need to come prepared to stay outside during the camps. Participants need to bring water, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen, and wear comfortable clothing for outside activities.

Participation is by registration only, as the program can only accommodate 30 children. Registered children will participate in the activities noted above from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. each day.

To register, contact the park visitor center at 731-689-5696.

Nuisance wildlife regulations get an update Wild hogs cause extensive damage to crops, timber, pastures, destroys quail and turkey nests, and competes with native wildlife for food resources. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates the cost of damage nationwide by pigs at around $1 billion annually.

Over the past decade, many game agencies have reached two conclusions in trying to resolve the wild hog issue. The hogs need to be eradicated, and traditional hunting wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the job done.

At a May 16, 2012 meeting, the Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks adopted new regulations concerning nuisance wildlife in Missis-

sippi.

B e a ver, coyote, fox, nutria, skunk, and wild David hogs are Green c l a s s i fied as Outdoors nuisance animals in Mississippi due to their often destructive behavior to private lands.

These current regulations, as set forth in Public Notice LE-06 3779, allow private land owners to manage nuisance animals throughout the year with special exceptions and restrictions. The new measures are considered crucial in helping control

Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever-expanding wild hog population.

For more information regarding hunting rules and regulations, log onto www.mdwfp.com or call (601) 432-2400.

Not long ago I ran into a fellow named Keith Lawson who, along with his hunting partner, Jimmy Robbins, had already begun implementing a combat strategy to eradicate some of the unwanted swine from their hunting territory. In talking with Keith, he told of what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done to be successful.

The first step is to find where pigs are using regularly. Keith scouts for pigs just like you would if you

were planning on hunting deer, turkey or any other game animal.

Once a hot location is found, he sets up a trail camera to get a read on when the hogs are coming through the area and determines what kind of setup he needs to make, usually in a location where a 30 to 50 yard shot is the norm.

Depending on the area, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll choose between using a portable climbing stand, a ground blind, or simply sit on the ground in a well-concealed spot.

Regardless of which set-up he uses, just like in deer hunting, he always makes sure the wind is in his favor.

US Senate passes wide-ranging farm bill

BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Columnist

The U.S. Senate recently passed the Farm Bill, the wide-ranging legislation that represents the largest federal investment in agricultural and private lands conservation in the nation.

While there are concerns in the commodity title, the conservation title is basically a good one. The Senate Farm Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservation Title invokes sportsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values, helps sustain fish and wildlife habitat and makes the conservation program more user friendly and more efficient.

Notable amendments approved by the Senate include a measure re-linking conservation compliance and crop insurance, which was introduced by Senator Saxby Chambliss

of Georgia and passed in a close 52-47 vote. The amendment helps ensure that taxpayer funds support sustainable and environmentally-friendly farming practices. In addition to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sodsaverâ&#x20AC;? provision already included in the bill, it will strengthen the farm safety net by focusing crop production on traditionally productive acres.

With the Senate Farm Bill now finalized, all eyes now turn to the House of Representatives, which has yet to release its version of the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waiting only increases budget pressures, while rural landscapes continue to be diminished and fish and wildlife populations and the economies they support suffer,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Mock Schaeffer, Farm Bill coordina-

tor for the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Farm Bill has helped conserve and enhance millions of acres of fish and game habitat, and we urge the House to follow the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead and finalize its version of the bill without delay.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sportsmen spend $76 billion annually to hunt and fish on lands like those maintained under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP),â&#x20AC;? said Dave Nomsen, vice president of government affairs for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the value of these programs, the need for the House to move forward swiftly in passing its own Farm Bill cannot be overstated.â&#x20AC;?

American hunters and anglers must work diligently to ensure that Con-

gress continues to press forward in finalizing the new Farm Bill and that critical conservation program functions are maintained. As the singlelargest source of federal funding for conservation on private lands in our country, the conservation title of the Farm Bill is one of our most valuable tools to improve fish and wildlife, sustain important habitat and uphold outdoor opportunities in partnership with agriculture.

James L. Cummins is executive director of Wildlife Mississippi, a nonprofit, conservation organization founded to conserve, restore and enhance fish, wildlife and plant resources throughout Mississippi. Their website is www.wildlifemiss.org.

does something else to sweeten the pot, so to say. He concocts his own food source by blending 50 lbs. of grain with water, 1 pack of yeast, 1 cup of sugar, and allows it to sit in a covered container out in the sun for 3 to 5 days before placing the concoction in the hunting area about 2 days prior to the hunt.

Hogs generally find the sweet and sour mash heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created fairly quickly.

When applying it to an area, he digs a 3 ft. hole in depth and pours in half the mixture, puts jello or kool-aid on top, covers lightly with dirt, and then repeats the process to finish filling the hole.

Keith says the food will

last longer by doing it this way and makes for a great bow-hunting opportunity.

Online resources can aid in battle against feral hogs MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wild pigs may be a boon to hunters, but to many of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landowners, they are a nuisance, an economic and environmental liability, and a disease hazard.

Farmers and landowners can arm themselves with information from a new website. The site, http://extension. org/feral_hogs, lists resources ranging from the history and biology of feral hogs to designs for corral traps.

The website, organized by a national consortium of wildlife biologists and Extension Service specialists, includes both state-specific help and general suggestions. Mississippi State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feral hog website, http://

wildpiginfo.msstate. edu/, is linked to the national site and includes the educational video, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Pickup Load of Pigs: The Feral Swine Pandemic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because wild pig damage is a nationwide concern, Extension personnel decided a collaborative website with input from specialists all over the country would be informative for natural resource managers and the public,â&#x20AC;? said Bronson Strickland, associate Extension professor at MSU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What may be most useful is an extensive FAQ section that addresses most of the questions people have about wild pigs.â&#x20AC;?

Andy Griffith evoked, stylized small-town America

BY TED ANTHONY AP National Writer

Close your eyes and picture it: small-town America.

It has a little post office, of course. A general store, too, and a fishing hole.

There’s a barber who knows everyone — and knows about everyone.

There’s a friendly auto mechanic. The picture wouldn’t be complete without several women who could be anyone’s favorite older sister or aunt.

Kids scurry around at reasonable paces, making low-grade mischief while dirtying their short-sleeve plaid shirts or striped Tshirts. Quirky characters wander about in a landscape of picket fences and healthy storefronts.

And the police officer in charge? He’s tough but fair, community minded, the Solomon of his entire, geographically limited

jurisdiction. He’s Atticus Finch without any of the racial tension.

This is, today, the comforting script America often reaches for when it summons the vanished rural nation that so many say they long for. Not coincidentally, it is also the state of mind given to us

by Andy Griffith and his long-running TV show.

More than anyone except perhaps Walt Disney, Griffith was the entertainment-world emblem of the 20th-century values Americans often like to say they prize most. He spread the notion, begun by no less a figure than Thomas Jefferson, that somehow the very best of us was contained in the rural life — in this case, the fictional tales of Mayberry that “The Andy Griffith Show” delivered for almost a decade.

“The show is kind of

like a step back in time, especially for my generation,” Molly Jones 24, of Raleigh, N.C., said after learning of Griffith’s death Tuesday. “It’s kind of like, ‘Oh, this is how it used to be,’ and ‘Why isn’t it this way still?’ Things were so much simpler back then.”

They certainly were in Mayberry, N.C. When Deputy Barney Fife wasn’t arresting someone for jaywalking, little Opie was accidentally killing a bird with his slingshot and earnestly dealing with the moral fallout.

Aunt Bee was usually either offering affection, feeling underappreciated or cooking ham. Goober and Gomer were causing disarray, and Floyd Lawson or Howard Sprague was dispensing quirky wisdom.

The reality of the age was somewhat different.

Griffith’s show, in a way, defied its times rather than captured them.

Though it felt like the 1950s in many ways, it was actually a product of the roller-coaster decade that followed. It debuted in 1960, four weeks before John F. Kennedy was elected, and ended its run on a spring evening in 1968 three nights before the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot in Memphis. While the country was tearing itself apart, Mayberry quietly endured, a Dick-and-Jane primer for an America yanked in every direction — a vision, during the Cold War, of friendly, unintruded-upon isolationism.

At the center of it all was Griffith himself, a product of Mount Airy, N.C., who began his career doing comedic interpretations of yokels years before he honed his

persona into the Sheriff Andy Taylor combination of avuncular community figure, doting father and common-sense Southerner. Though Griffith would later say the sheriff was the better angel of his nature, the perception was otherwise. “Andy was Mayberry, and Mayberry was Andy,” Don Knotts, who played Barney Fife, said in 1999.

Griffith was a far more complicated figure than he appeared. As Sheriff Taylor, he effectively acted as a cultural interpreter for a fast-urbanizing nation reared on, and comforted by, Norman Rockwell imagery.

Griffith’s take on a postEisenhower “Our Town” made him, to television, what Woody Guthrie had been to music two decades earlier — a popularizer who came from authentic country roots,

polished it all up, then fed Americans back a more digestible version of rural culture.

Four decades later, the spirit of Mayberry lives on in Mount Airy, the town that claims to be its muse.

Tourism has made the marketing of small-town flavor good business, and Griffith’s hometown has taken the ball and run with it.

Americans loved, and still love, the notion of the small town as a manageable, nonthreatening, friendly, finite community — an idea all but upended in the 21st century, where the truly isolated town is, for all practical purposes, no more. The black-and-white world that Andy Griffith shaped so masterfully is there for our perusal from a distance, but it is not coming back — either on television or anywhere else.

007 exhibit looks at British screen spy as enduring style icon

BY JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — If there’s one thing James Bond has taught us it’s that behind every great spy is a great tailor.

A new exhibition at London’s Barbican Centre explores the style of the suave secret agent, displaying costumes, props, set pieces and design drawings from half a century of 007 films.

Assembled with help from the films’ producer, EON Productions— which has a new Bond movie to promote in the fall — the exhibition includes the spy’s tuxedos, Bond girl ball gowns and villains’ vestments, as well as a selection of props and

gadgets. There are also sketches by the films’ influential set designer, Ken Adam, whose cavernous lairs and sleek space stations did much to create the movies’ modernist luster.

The show is both a reflection of the remarkable staying power of Ian Fleming’s fictional secret agent and a tribute to the British, European and American craftspeople and designers who have created the look of the quintessentially British icon.

“The films always attracted the greatest design talent,” curator Bronwyn Cosgrave said Thursday.

They ranged from the German-born Adam to

Academy Award-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, a Briton who helped put together the exhibition.

“In the beginning they didn’t have the money — but they had the ingenuity,” Cosgrave said.

The money came later, as the globally successful franchise sent Bond to exotic locations around the world — and eventually, in 1979’s “Moonraker,” into space.

Clips from the movies are screened throughout the exhibition, which includes items that have become mini-icons, from the white bikini worn by Ursula Andress in the first Bond film, “Dr. No,” to the tight blue swim

Horoscopes Sunday, July 8, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re in the mood to decide quickly what you want to do and then execute just as fast. This is good because you don’t want anyone waiting on you now.

Vacillation and procrastination wear people out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You lift up your community just by being the kind of person you are. People perform to their potential because you set an example of excellence. You may have no idea that this is occurring, but it is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s never too late to set things straight.

You’ll prove that today when you see an opportunity to address something that happened in the past, thereby adjusting a relationship and directing it onto a more positive course.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today brings a case of shiny object syndrome, as things that catch the light beckon you nigh. This isn’t a bad thing unless you start reaching into your pockets to buy said objects.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When the world gets hectic (and when is it not?), you feel an urgent need to disconnect from the information and drama barrage in favor of simple pleasures. A walk, for instance, will bring back your joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Here’s a wonderfully refreshing way to clear your surroundings of bad energy: 1) Admit what went wrong. 2) Offer or

ask for forgiveness. 3) Light a candle.

4) Begin the exciting new era.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Going the extra mile once will put you a mile ahead of the competition. Do it every day, and you’ll be seven miles ahead of the competition in a week. Soon the competition will be a small dot in the distance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The difference between external and internal wealth will be a main theme of the day. Real wealth is recognizing the gems of your soul and their priceless value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

When your fire-sign energy mixes with a water sign’s emotional makeup, the result is steamy. As with a teakettle, unless you remove it from the burner, the whistle turns into a scream.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

When things spin out of control, it’s a positive occurrence, an affirmation that your life is a co-creation with the universe at large. It’s beautiful that you can’t control it all. Why would you ever want to?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re not messing around today.

There’s a kind of celestial fire inside you as you do what feels important and meaningful. That this action also happens to be extremely fun is a perk.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may not be able to do everything, but you can always do something. This principle guides your day, and everywhere you go, you’ll see opportunities to improve your environment and relationships.

Cryptoquip

trunks sported by Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale.”

Cosgrave said that since “Dr. No” in 1962, “Bond has consistently led the way” in style.

She said Sean Connery’s “conduit cut” suit

by Saville Row tailor Anthony Sinclair from the 1960s films is “the men’s equivalent of a Chanel suit,” while a sharply cut tuxedo is so identified with the character it has become known as “the James Bond look.”

The first time Bond appeared onscreen, in “Dr. No,” viewers saw the silklined cuff of his tuxedo sleeve before they saw Connery’s face.

Cosgrave said the success of the look is simple

to explain.

“It’s sexy,” she said.

“When does a man look his best? In a tuxedo.”

The exhibition includes tuxes worn by Bonds from Connery (classic Saville Row) to Roger Moore (by designer-to-the-stars Doug Hayward) to Craig, who is dressed by American designer Tom Ford.

Ford’s lean suits — in neatly circular fashion — draw on the 1960s for inspiration.

Cosgrave said that because actors typically play 007 over several films — apart from oneoff George Lazenby in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” — “each Bond had an opportunity to forge a relationship

with their tailor. As a result, they’re impeccably dressed.”

All those designer names reveal another Bond secret — 007 is both an international brand himself and a magnet for other luxury labels.

With the 23rd Bond film, “Skyfall,” set for release in October, the exhibition gift shop lets visitors purchase a piece of Bond style, from cocktail shakers and martini glasses to silk ties and gold bars made of chocolate.

“Designing 007” opens Friday and runs to Sept.

5. It will then tour internationally, opening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto in October.
