Talant in the bag Entrepreneur finds niche with unique business

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Late in 2011, Wenasoga resident Johnson Benjamin was searching for a name for his new company. In Benjamin’s new venture, the young entrepreneur planned to hand-make durable and high quality canvas bags.

Finally he came across a passage in the Bible that spoke to him, Matthew 25, the parable of the talents, a lesson about using the gifts one is given.

“That really inspired me. It made me think, ‘What am I doing?’ and realize that has to be the name,” recalled Benjamin.

“Even as a child, I don’t know if it scared me, but it held a heavy weight on me. All of us have a responsibility.”

Thus was born Benjamin’s Talant Trade Co. With Talant,

the 23-year-old MSU grad has an opportunity to engage his appreciation of design and aesthetics, while creating and selling quality merchandise made

by Benjamin and his family in a shop behind their home on County Road 718.

Benjamin graduated from MSU last spring after studying landscaping architecture.

Last summer he started a lawn care business. Halfway through the summer he began thinking about a different direction for his life.

Around September the idea for what would become Talant Trading Co. began to form.

“I was inspired by people doing things like this, the artisans and craftsmen who were making and selling items that were better quality than you can buy from a name brand,” Benjamin

Corinth’s program is patterned on Tupelo’s Major Thoroughfare Program, which has been operating in Northeast Mississippi’s largest municipality for almost two decades.

The local Excel by 5 accreditation, O’Connell said, will demonstrate to business and individuals who are looking to invest in the area that Corinth and Alcorn County has invested in the children – the future of the community.

“Excel by 5 is a pathway to ensure success for the smallest children in our community, but it takes a village,” said O’Connell.

Launched in 2004, Excel by 5 is a program designed to encourage and assist communities to become actively involved in supporting their young children. It emphasizes the important roles of parents and primary caregivers in educating children during their most formative years.

City leaders hope the proposed thoroughfare program will provide funds to make more streets look like Proper Street, which was recently milled, paved and striped and had new curbs, gutters and sidewalks installed.

Couple shares career in law enforcement Husband and wife Derrick and Shannon Hester both work in law enforcement in Booneville and Prentiss County.

Derrick Hester is an investigator with the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department. Shannon Hester, a native of Alcorn County and a former dispatcher at the Corinth Police Department, is a patrol officer with the Booneville Police Department.

Pursuing a career in law enforcement was not a difficult decision for Shannon as she had been around law enforcement all her life. An Alcorn County native, her dad, the late Charles Hinds Sr., was a highway patrolman, while her brother, Chuck Hinds, is employed with Corinth PD and serves as a constable in Alcorn County.

Shannon’s career began as a dispatcher with the Corinth Police Department in 1994, a job she held for 11 years.

The entire time she worked in communications she knew she wanted to be an officer. “I had to get nerve up to try out for the academy. Ten weeks away from family is a long time,” she says.

The best hope for tomorrow rests with the children of today, and local leaders are working for a brighter future by focusing on the most crucial period of a child’s mental development – the first five years.

By adopting the Excel By 5 program, Corinth and Alcorn County are working to improve their efforts in early childhood education. The community of Corinth and Alcorn County was recently designated as an Excel By 5 candidate community, one of 25 in the state.

Nine Mississippi communities have thus far received Excel By 5 certification.

“The adoption of the Excel By 5 program shows a commitment of the city and county business, government and civic leaders to better prepare our children from ages 0 to 5,” said Susan O’Connell, project manager for the Corinth and Alcorn County Excel by 5. “If our kids are better prepared to start school, then our hope

By October the idea became more defined. From November through February, Benjamin was buying equipment and visiting old sewing factories to purchase equipment.

He also began learning to sew, helped by his mother, Janet. He worked out his new prototypes while sitting at the kitchen table.

Benjamin’s father, Larry, is also part of the business. He worked with sewing machines for years in his own father’s garmet factories as well his own career. Benjamin brings the aesthetic and design sense, his mother brings the sewing expertise and his father is the mechanical side of the family. When they brought in

As Corinth voters prepare to head to the polls this summer to consider a new tax levy to fund major improvements to the city’s infrastructure, one Northeast Mississippi municipality has been reaping the benefits of a similar program for nearly two decades.

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin and the city’s board of aldermen have proposed a plan to significantly improve city streets along with other infrastructure. The board has set a special election for Aug. 21 for voters to consider a 12 mill tax increase to fund the program.

The tax levy is expected to generate approximately $1 million per year and will run for five years before it would either expire or have to be voted on again.

Funds generated by the proposed tax would be kept entirely separate from the city’s general fund. The majority of the money would be used for street paving with other potential projects including drainage work, improvements to entrances to the city, handicap accesibility improvements, strategic planning and grant matching for various improvement projects.

Irwin has said he believes the program is necessary because the city needs to make a commitment to improving the community’s infrastructure, but those kind of improvements require significant funding. He has said this vote gives citizens an opportunity to decide what they want their community to be in the future.

The mayor has said

Benjamin’s sister Katie, a graphic design professional who helps on the marketing end, the formula was complete.

By February Benjamin’s shop was set up and he began producing his products. The Talant Trading Co. goods made their big debut at the April installment of the Green Market in down-

town Corinth. After another successful Green Market day in May — and many canvas bags sold through word of mouth advertising and Benjamin’s online efforts, Talant’s founder is looking to expand into new types and styles of canvas bags.

By the end of Fall 2012 he hopes to have a line of six or more canvas bags in various styles to serve a range of purposes.

Two styles of bags are currently available for purchase, the $35 drawstring canvas backpack, and the $65 cross-body bag with canvas outer and cotton liner.

Less than a year after Talant was only an idea, a dream, Benjamin is selling finished, original products and seeing to the details of his growing company. So far he has sold approximately 70 of his hand-made canvas bags.

“I’ve sold bags from here to New York, South

The entrepreneur has also discovered an unexpected source of happiness: Seeing people complete strangers carrying his products.

“It’s a joy seeing somebody I don’t know using and appreciating one of my bags,” he said. “It’s something I never expect-

“Almost every major street has benefited from the program,” he said.

Harbor explained the program began almost 20 years ago with the goal of greatly improving traffic flow through the city. It is funded through a 10 mill property tax levy and voters must go to the polls every five years to renew the tax and approve a list of projects to be funded by the next phase of the program.

Harbor said one of the keys to the success of the program is that the tax levy provides guaranteed money for the city to take

Deaths on major projects.

“It is a pay as you go system,” he said.

Major Thoroughfare has generated approximately $90 million in funds for projects in Tupelo through the years and has allowed the city to create a modern network of roads that can support increased traffic flow as the city has grown and developed.

One of the centerpieces of the program has been the creation of a loop around the city. Composed of Cliff Gookin, Cooley Road, McCullough Boulevard and others, the loop is nearing completion with the

final phase of the project currently underway. It has also provided funds to improve and widen key arteries throughout the city.

Harbor said Tupelo’s program has been succesful and provided key funds that have made the expansion of the city’s traffic system possible.

The director said he is unaware of any other municipality in Northeast Mississippi that has a similar program funded in the same way, though the city of Saltillo is also currently preparing for a vote on a program patterned after Tupelo’s Major Thoroughfare pro-

gram.

Saltillo aldermen are preparing to go to voters with a proposal for STEP, the Saltillo Transportation Enhancement Program. Also modeled after Tupelo’s program, STEP will seek a similar ad valorem tax increase to the one proposed in Corinth to fund significant improvements to the city’s road system.

Voters in the Lee County city will go to the polls on Aug. 14 to vote on the proposal which would increase taxes by 8 mills for five years to fund significant improvements to roads and other infrastructure.

cery Court bailiff and as a part-time officer with Northeast Mississippi Community College Campus Police.

The couple met through mutual law enforcement connections.

They married on Feb. 14, 2007. The couple resides in the Thrasher community with their three children, Jodie Taylor, 15, and Valerie Hester, 4, and Casen Hester, 3.

Both cite helping their community as being one of the most rewarding aspects of their work.

“The sense of accomplishment for the betterment of the community and I work with absolutely the best administration and co-workers anyone could ask for,” Derrick says when asked about some of the best things he likes about his work.

For Shannon it’s “Helping people in general ... just being there to help people and making a difference in the world.”

“Every call you go on you never know what that call will hold for you,” she adds. “You never know what to expect. You never do the same thing every day. When you put your uniform on to go to work, you just have to pray that you and your fellow officers make it back home to your families at the end of the shift.”

“The most important aspect of any officer’s job should be to ‘do the right thing’ (a motto the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department has adopted),” Derrick said.

“The second most important aspect is to uphold a positive public image,” he said.

Because both work in law enforcement, it’s easier for them to know what the other deals with on any given day.

Derrick’s work as an investigator often involves some of the most devastating crimes such as murder, child molestation, armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, ar-

son, as well as break-ins, identity theft, narcotics involved charges, aggravated assault, petit larceny, DUI, perjury, forgery, burglaries, chop shops, missing persons, Internet crimes, felony fleeing and vandalism.

“Sometimes the work is very trying and stressful,” Derrick says. “But in the end my spouse knows what’s going through my mind and knows how to handle the emotional roller coaster.”

As a law enforcement officer herself, Shannon thinks it’s great to be married to a fellow officer. “We understand what each of us does during the day and understand the stress with the job.

“You have somebody that understands what you do each day. To me it’s a good thing. We know that each day that we may not get to come back home to our families but we made that decision to try and make this a better place for our children and everyone else’s children to grow up,” she said.

Sometimes with their busy work schedules it can be hard to see each other.

“We try to make the most of what time we do have together,” Shannon said. The couple enjoys spending a lot of time outdoors with their children and the couple likes to get away riding Derrick’s Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Even away from work, Derrick often finds he is still thinking of what he needs to be doing on certain cases the following day.

And both can be called out at all hours of the day or night.

Daughter, Jodie, just completed her sophomore year at Thrasher High School. Jodie is very good to help with her younger siblings who very often ask their parents when they leave for work, “Are you going to

catch some bad guys and put them in jail?”

Jodie also plays basketball at THS and Valerie plays on a T-ball team during summer league at the Booneville City Park.

The entire family enjoys riding 4-wheelers around the house.

“When we walk in the house, we try to go into mom and dad mode and not think about work and what we’ve experienced during the day or what we’ve had to deal with,” she said.

Yet so often no matter what they are doing, their careers are never far from their minds.

“Law enforcement is everything I thought it would be and more,” Shannon says. “It’s a career I would not ever want to change. It gives you a lot of pride every day to know it’s possible you’re going to make a difference in somebody else’s life ... even though most of the times people never hear about the good things we do.”

Derrick remembers when he was attending the police academy, one of his instructors really put his mind to work.

“He said, ‘I want you to visualize what kind of cop you want to be in your future.’

“Immediately, I knew the kind of officer I wanted to be,” Derrick said. “Prior to my leaving for the academy, some words of wisdom were offered to me by retired Booneville Police Officer J.R. Gray.

“Gray told me that the only way to get respect of the public was to give respect to the public first.

I took the words to heart and try to live by this daily,” Derrick said.

“If you find a job you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. With that being said, I also believe that attitude reflects leadership and that is why I love getting up and going to work every morning,” he said.

police officer in 2005 after having completed training at Mississippi Delta Community College Law Enforcement Training Academy.

“Every day was a challenge but if it’s something you want enough you can get through it,” Shannon said.

She worked as a police officer at Corinth PD from 2005-07 and later worked as a probation officer for the Mississippi Department of Corrections from 2007-2010.

After staying home with their children for eight months, she then began working at Booneville PD in July 2011.

“No two days are the same,” Derrick says about his work. But they can often be stressed and fast paced. “Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day,” he says.

Shannon agrees no day is typical in law enforcement.

“When you put the uniform on to go to work you never know what your day will hold. You have to be prepared for anything,” she said.

“Growing up, I think every kid wants to be a police officer, but I never dreamed I would actually become one,” said Derrick, a 1995 graduate of Booneville High School.

He began working in law enforcement in 2003.

Derrick worked for the Booneville Police Department as a part-time/ reserve officer for about three years and 61⁄2 years as a patrol deputy for the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department. He has served as an investigator for the sheriff’s department for the last two years.

While serving as a patrol officer for Booneville PD is Shannon’s main job, she also works as an independent process server for attorneys, a Prentiss County Chan-

In Corinth and Alcorn County, the effort toward Excel By 5 certification was spearheaded by the Committee for the Future of Alcorn County.

Over two years ago the committee formed seven focus areas following a series of public forums. Of the three education-related focus areas, one was centered on early childhood education.

“The committee looked into additional ways to concentrate on early childhood education, and one of the things that surfaced was Excel By 5,” explained Sandy Williams, chairman of the CARE board and member of the Committee for the Future of Alcorn County steering committee.

To help fund the program, the Committee for the Future of Alcorn County received a $30,000 grant, half from CARE and half from the Pierce Foundation.

“Excel By 5 is truly a county-wide community effort,” Williams emphasized. “All segments of the population are attempting to improve our early childhood education.”

Excel By 5 certification requirements are divided into four groups: Community Involvement; Family and Parent Support; Early Care and Education; and Health. The groups vary according to community size and capacity.

The certification process takes about two years to complete, and the certification is awarded for three years. If the community wants to maintain its Excel By 5 certification, it has to reapply in the third year and complete the criteria for recertification.

The president of the Excel By 5 board of directors recently wrote a letter welcoming Corinth and Alcorn County into the programs group of candidate communities.

“It’s with great pride that I recognize Corinth/Alcorn County as the latest addition to Mississippi’s family of Excel By 5 candidate communities. Congratulations!” wrote Renfroe.

Corinth, Miss.

Union push: Hardest sell found in numbers STARKVILLE — Public sectors unions took a political beating in Wisconsin this week in a political exercise that may have far-reaching impacts on public pension programs across the country. Private sector unions continue to face a steady decline in membership.

That’s the backdrop against which efforts to unionize the state’s burgeoning auto manufacturing industry is unfoldSid Salter ing. Clearly, there is an effort to break Mississippi’s “right to Columnist work” state status with a successful unionization push at the Nissan plant in Canton.

Yet other than perpetuating the union’s eroding existence with new members and new union dues, the United Auto Workers have to make some sort of rational pitch to the state’s auto workers as to why it would be to their advantage to pay dues to the union.

While there have been incredibly vague and as yet unsubstantiated allegations of “human rights violations” by union organizers and some of the beneficiaries of their campaign contribution largesse in Congress, the UAW has yet to offer any substantive examples of why Mississippi auto workers need union representation.

But more than failing to make the case that worker safety is endangered or that wages are out of line with other non-union auto manufacturing plants in the region, here’s the hardest sell for the UAW in Mississippi: According to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis, Mississippi’s per capita personal income level increased 3.6 percent from 2010 ($31,071) to 2011 ($32,176). Since 2003, per capita personal income has increased by $8,206 or 34.2 percent.

The numbers show that as Mississippi continued and expedited the long and difficult transition from low skill, low wage jobs to high skill, high wage jobs during the twoterm administration of Haley Barbour, the state’s per capita personal income actually increased despite the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, a global recession and the collapse of the nation’s real estate markets -- as did the state’s per capita income.

The Commerce Department defines per capita personal income is “the income that is received by persons from all sources. It is calculated as the sum of wage and salary disbursements, supplements to wages and salaries, proprietors’ income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts, less contributions for government social insurance.”

The relatively new high skill, high wage jobs like those at Nissan, Toyota, Severstal, PACCAR and others are giant steps toward getting Mississippi off the bottom of the U.S. per capita income ranking. Now, the UAW proposes to have new Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn attack economic development with one collective hand tied behind their backs by organized labor.

Nationally, labor unions represent 11.8 percent of the work force or some 14.8 million workers - down from an all-time high of 22.2 million in 1975 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor.

The unintended consequence of the UAW push in Mississippi in the current economic environment with the current leadership of the Mississippi Legislature is that public employees and existing members of organized labor may well be impacted negatively by the UAW push.

Conservative legislative leaders who have already taken some steps to stabilize the state’s public employee retirement system aren’t oblivious to public opinion as expressed in the Wisconsin recall fight. Those same conservative leaders are concerned about the state not losing competitive ground in the fight for high wage, high skill jobs among other Southern “right to work” states.

In politics, it is difficult once the ant hill has been kicked to escape getting a few stings. In the state’s new conservative leadership regime, it’s seems a particularly foolhardy time to kick the organized labor expansion ant hill.

Now Appearing: Two Bills and a Bull

BY ROGER SIMON The Good Bill Clinton is the one who is a loyal supporter of Barack Obama.

The Good Bill appeared at three fundraisers with the president last Monday night and did everything but samba with him.

After giving the president a manly hug, the Good Bill said that Obama deserved a second term because “the alternative would be, in my opinion, calamitous for our country and the world.”

Of all the reasons to vote for a guy, preventing a world calamity would be high on my list.

But the Good Bill has a flaw: He has little staying power. The Bad Bill always seems to bubble to the surface.

Bad Bill had appeared last week when he went on CNN and said Mitt Romney had a “sterling” record while running Bain Capital. Bad Bill added that Romney was “a man who has been governor and ... crosses the qualification threshold.”

But that was last week.

And those fundraisers in New York Monday were a sign that Good Bill had taken over permanently, right?

Nah. If you catch Clinton at just the right moment, you can actually see Good and Bad Bill fighting for control of the same body.

NBC’s Brian Williams did this last Tuesday in a

sit-down interview with Clinton, less than 24 hours after Good Bill had pronounced his undying love for Obama’s policies.

Williams began his “NBC Nightly News” interview with my two favorite words in the English language.

Williams: “Roger Simon, the political writer, has a piece on the Web today, the headline of which I noticed this morning is, ‘Bill Clinton Out of Control in 2012.’ People are wanting to find room between you and the president on issues like Romney, Bain Capital, your quote that they had -- a sterling record in their line of work. Is there any difference between you and the tack the Obama campaign has taken?”

This was a straightforward and highly pertinent question — did I mention I liked how it began? -- and it should have been an easy one for Good Bill to answer.

The correct answer should have been any variation of, “There is no room between myself and the president.”

But Bad Bill has a thing about clawing his way onto TV. Perhaps Clinton was angry he was being asked on national television about what some dopey columnist had to say, but his answer was not exactly what the Obama campaign wanted.

The answer begins, by the way, with my other two fa-

vorite words in the English language.

President Clinton: “Mr. Simon may think I should be an employee of the campaign, but I’m not.”

Whoa! What? Supporting Obama would make Clinton an “employee of the campaign?” You could see Bad Bill’s wounded pride spilling all over the place.

Clinton did say Obama’s “health care bill is a step in the right direction” and praised Obama’s energy policy by saying that “on balance” it was good.

Bad Bill went on. “I don’t think I should have to criticize Romney personally to disagree with his politics,” he said.

Why is this Bad Bill? Because nobody had asked Clinton to criticize Romney “personally.” The Obama campaign was just hoping Clinton would stop going around the country saying that Romney had a “sterling” career at Bain at the same time Obama was running a TV ad attacking Romney’s career at Bain.

But, wait, there was more.

With Good and Bad Bill there is always more.

In a CNBC interview last Tuesday with Maria Bartiromo, Clinton said that the Bush tax cuts, which are due to expire with Obama’s blessing, should be temporarily extended until the nation is out of its “recession.”

Oh, my. Bad Bill just can’t resist headlines (or anything else). Even though Good Bill later put out a statement denying what Bad Bill had said, the media knew which was the true Bill.

The Chicago Tribune wrote: “Clinton’s remark is not in line with the position held by the White House or Capitol Hill Democrats. ... Asked last week about a possible temporary extension, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the notion ‘fairly stupid.’”

Politico’s Seung Min Kum wrote, “Congressional Republicans are embracing their latest gift from Bill Clinton, blasting out one statement after another backing the former president’s comment that the Bush-era tax rates should be temporarily extended.”

Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News, “I think (Clinton) really is now a bull in a china shop, and there’s a lot of crockery that’s being destroyed.”

Actually, the Obama people are not worried about the crockery that Bad Bill destroys. They are worried about the re-election campaign that the old bull is smashing up.

The left’s rationalization of recall defeat The recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker didn’t fail, it was only outspent.

This is the considered verdict of the left after a year and a half of trying to smite Gov. Walker with its terrible swift sword. What began as a crusade to vindicate the rights of publicsector unions ended in a pathetic bleat of a complaint against spending in political campaigns.

“It hurts too much to laugh and I’m too big to cry,” Abraham Lincoln said after he lost his Senate bid to Stephen Douglas. Too earnest to laugh and too proud to cry, the left can only rationalize. If the antiWalker forces hadn’t been so badly outspent -- and especially if the Supreme Court hadn’t unleashed the forces of darkness in its Citizens United decision -Wisconsin voters assuredly would have rejected his reforms.

For the left, Citizens United has practically supplanted Dred Scott as the worst Supreme Court decision of all time. It held that political spending is a form of speech, and therefore corporations and unions can spend freely in elections.

The decision came down in January 2010. If its vicious

logic made it impossible to recall Scott Walker, everyone determined to do so had fair Rich warning.

Lowery In reality, Citizens National had Review United nothing to do with the outcome in Wisconsin.

Yes, Scott Walker outspent his opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, by a margin of roughly 8-1. This wasn’t the handiwork of the highest court in the land. A provision in Wisconsin law going back to 1987 gives the target of a recall a window to raise unlimited funds.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it arose when Democratic state senators fighting recalls needed to raise more money for legal expenses, and it passed with bipartisan support.

If the organizers of the recall had done more thinking and less shouting into bullhorns, they might have realized that Walker got a period of free and easy fundraising not available to his eventual Democratic opponent; that he could marshal his resources while Democrats might have to

fight it out in a primary until a month before the recall vote; that their assault on Walker had elevated his national profile such that he could raise money from all around the country.

In other words, they might have realized Walker had natural advantages that had nothing to do with Citizens United or any other boogeyman. Sure enough, Walker garnered millions in donations from rich people living outside Wisconsin.

Is there something wrong with out-of-state money?

Certainly not in such a nationalized race. The whole world was watching, remember?

Of course, outside groups played in a big way in Wisconsin, too. The biggest, the Republican Governors Association, existed prior to Citizens United, and the group’s fundraising hasn’t been affected by it much.

David Koch could give it $1 million as easily prior to the decision as he can now.

The RGA spent $9 million in Wisconsin — defending a Republican governor. What else is a governors association for?

In the end, all the money in Texas couldn’t have saved Walker if his reforms hadn’t been favored by

the Wisconsin public. The exit polls say 52 percent of Wisconsinites approved of Walker’s measures. Rather than grapple with this highly inconvenient fact, the left rages against a Supreme Court decision.

Its beef isn’t so much with Citizens United per se, but the entire line of reasoning -- evident in follow-on court decisions -- that says free people in a free country should be able to band together and spend to advance whatever cause they like.

After all, it wasn’t corporations that flooded Wisconsin with money, but engaged individuals interested in the outcome of a momentous contest. The left will now set out to shut down as much of this political activity as possible.

Nancy Pelosi is already proposing to amend the First Amendment so a crackdown on spending passes new-and-improved constitutional muster.

The Wisconsin recall was ill-considered petulance; the second act will be a deliberate assault on liberty.

State One-time money remains state budget fixture Associated Press

JACKSON — While legislative leaders and Gov. Phil Bryant have spoken of the need to reduce the use of one-time money to fund recurring expenses, the state's reliance on one-time money has spanned numerous governors and legislative leaders.

Even during the 1990s when the state was experiencing double-digit revenue growth thanks to a new and burgeoning

casino gambling industry, legislators were lamenting the use of one-time funds even as they passed bills to use those funds.

The term one-time money can mean many different things.

In recent years, the state has scooped up money from various special fund agencies that operate on a specific fee or tax, such as the Department of Transportation which is funded through a fuel tax, to prop up agencies that are fund-

ed through more general taxes, such as the tax on income or retail items.

One-time money also can refer to the more than $100 million that the state gets each year as result of a lawsuit settlement with tobacco companies. The money is received annually, but is viewed as onetime money because by law it is not supposed to go to fund recurring expenses.

Additionally, by law the Legislature is not sup-

posed to spend 2 percent of anticipated revenue each year. When the Legislature changes the law to spend the 2 percent set aside, it is identified as one-time money.

During the 2007 session, a high water mark for the state in terms of revenue collections and appropriations, the budget still included almost $280 million in one-time funds. The 2007 legislative session was a heady time as far as funding

state agencies.

The Mississippi Adequate Education Program, which provides state funds to local school districts, was fully funded for only the second time since it was fully enacted in 2002 while school teachers and state employees received raises.

Universities and community colleges received a combined $132.6 million increase, or 18.8 percent.

for re-election — from the governor on down — bragged about the funding levels passed during the 2007 session.

When the 2008 session started, state leaders anticipated the record revenue collections that were used to fund the budget during the 2007 session would continue to increase. During the 2008 session, legislators and then-Gov. Haley Barbour approved even larger increases.

Flashlight bombs puzzle authorities PHOENIX — They look like your standard flashlights. When you flick the switch on, however, they don’t light up. They blow up.

Three of these flashlight bombs exploded within the last month in the Phoenix area, causing minor injuries to five people and raising fears of more serious ones.

Police still have no idea who is behind them and have taken the unusual step of putting up 22 billboards across the sprawling metro area to warn residents about discarded flashlights.

Authorities ruled out any connection to terrorism because the targets have been random and there have been no messages or demands.

They said the bombs appear to have been made by the same person or people because their design was identical.

Officials probe E. coli outbreak ATLANTA — A mysterious and scattered outbreak of the E. coli bacteria is linked to 14 illnesses and one death, health officials say.

No form of contaminated food or other cause has been identified in the illnesses, which occurred in April and May, according to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention.

Three people were hospitalized. One — a child in the New Orleans area — died last week.

The reported illnesses were spread across six states. Georgia had five cases, Louisiana four, Alabama two, and Tennessee, Florida and California each had one.

E. coli is a large family of bacteria and most strains are harmless.

The most deadly strain is considered E. coli O157:H7, which became well-known in the early 1990s through a deadly outbreak associated with hamburger meat.

Six similar strains are also considered dangerous and one of them is E. coli O145, the strain identified in this new outbreak. It was only in 2009 that the CDC began recommending labs test for it.

NPR ‘Car Talk’ duo retiring; reruns go on NEW YORK — The comic mechanics on NPR’s “Car Talk” are pulling in to the garage.

Brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi said Friday they will stop making new episodes of their jokefilled auto advice show at the end of September, 25 years after “Car Talk” began in Boston.

Repurposed versions of old shows will stay on National Public Radio indefinitely, however.

The show airs every

Saturday morning and is NPR’s most popular program.

“We’ve managed to avoid getting thrown off NPR for 25 years, giving tens of thousands of wrong answers and had a hell of a time every week talking to callers,” Ray Magliozzi said. “The stuff in our archives still makes us laugh. So we figured, why keep slaving over a hot microphone?”

The duo will continue writing their “Dear Tom and Ray” column twice a week, NPR said.

Emotional baggage brings charge PORTLAND, Ore. — Police say a 50-year-old Oregon woman is in trouble because of her relationship baggage — but it’s not the emotional kind.

Kola J. McGrath was arrested Monday for trespassing after workers at her boyfriend’s downtown Portland apartment complex discovered the man was sneaking her into the building by hiding her in a large rolling suitcase. She was banned from the building last year for breaking a fire extinguisher case.

Police were notified when a caller reported a man had kidnapped a woman, placed her in a pink suitcase and taken her to the apartment building.

Officers then searched Curtis T. Lowe’s apartment and found McGrath hiding in a closet.

Pentagon halts free guns for police, orders audit

BY HOLBROOK MOHR AND MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press

The Defense Department has stopped issuing weapons to thousands of law enforcement agencies until it is satisfied that state officials can account for all the surplus guns, aircraft, Humvees and armored personnel carriers it has given police under a $2.6 billion program, The Associated Press has learned.

The department’s Defense Logistics Agency ordered state-appointed coordinators in 49 states to certify the whereabouts of

that equipment that has already been distributed through the long-running arrangement overseen by the agency’s Law Enforcement Support Office. The temporary halt on transferring weapons applies to all states, agency officials said Thursday.

The program provides police departments and other law enforcement agencies with military equipment ranging from guns and helicopters to computers and air conditioners and even toilet paper. The equipment is cheap or free for law enforcement agencies to acquire, but much of it

comes with strict rules that prohibit it from being sold and dictate how it must be tracked.

The military decided to conduct a “one-time, clean sweep” of all state inventories instead of reviewing them piecemeal, said Kenneth MacNevin, a spokesman for the federal agency. While some gear, including guns, has been stolen or otherwise gone missing over the years, MacNevin said the reporting requirements themselves aren’t new and that the review wasn’t prompted by anything specific.

“Leadership decided to make sure we have a

good, full accounting for all of this,” he said. “We’re not doing this based on any thought there’s a problem. We’re doing it because accountability is accountability.”

However, MacNevin said a pair of news media reports and a weekslong series of AP requests for records were factors in the decision to send letters to the states late last month ordering them to comply with program rules or face suspension from it. Only New Hampshire didn’t get a letter; State Police Major Russ Conte, the state’s liaison for the surplus program, said his office al-

ready had completed a full accounting of the equipment it has received.

The Arizona Republic reported last month that the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has stockpiled millions of dollars’ worth of equipment through the program, distributing some of the gear to nonpolice agencies, and intended to sell other property, which would violate the program’s rules.

“I don’t have any info on if something triggered” the Defense Department’s recent order, Matt Van Camp, a police detective in Payson, Ariz., who coordinates that state’s program, told the AP in an email.

“All I know is Arizona is 100 percent compliant on weapons inventory.”

A report in March by California Watch, which was founded by the Center for Investigative Reporting, found that California police accumulated more equipment during 2011 than any other year in the program’s twodecade history. That follows the overall trend in the program, which last year doled out almost $500 million in gear, up

by more than double from the year before.

Tim Hoyle, another spokesman for the Battle Creek, Mich.-based Defense Logistics Agency, said all weapons will be withheld until the accounting is completed.

That may be easier said than done. Most of the state surplus program coordinators who have responded to records requests from the AP say they only keep paper records, and the few states that keep electronic records only recently made the switch from paper.

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services, for instance, said it would take its staff members at least 500 hours to review the records requested by the AP. “There are over 800 Illinois law enforcement agencies that submit applications to the state under the LESO program,” agency employee Sunny Clark wrote. “CMS would need to go through each file individually in order to gather the records requested, which would be a difficult and time-consuming process.”

Stony Brook evens series with LSU Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — Tyler Johnson has given all his spectacular right arm can take to get his little baseball program from Long Island to within one victory of its first College World Series.

Johnson threw a three-hitter and allowed an unearned run, and Stony Brook defeated LSU 3-1 on Saturday to even the best-of-three Baton Rouge super regional at one game each.

Too bad for the Seawolves (51-13) that after throwing 356

pitches in three games over the past nine days, Johnson won’t likely be able to throw at all in Sunday’s deciding game against the Tigers (47-17).

“I was thinking about it today, after I finished,” said Johnson (12-1), who did not allow a hit until the fifth inning and threw 127 pitches.

“But I think you might have to bury me in (LSU’s) Alex Box field. As much as I’d like to, I don’t know if that’s going to happen (Sunday). I’d do anything for this team, but I might fall apart.”

LSU could not muster the late-inning magic of the series opener, when the Tigers hit three game-tying homers before winning a rain-postponed game in the 12th inning Saturday morning. There was, however, a brief moment when a comeback seemed to be in the air after third baseman William Carmona overthrew first base on a routine grounder with two outs in the ninth, bringing Tyler Moore to the plate as the tying run.

“I saw it come out of (Carmona’s) hand and kind of

put my head down and was like ‘Oh man,”’ Johnson said.

“Two seconds later I went right back to, ‘You’ve got to get the next guy out. You’ve been doing this for 82⁄3 innings. It’s your game. Go out and get this guy.”’

Moore then popped up and Johnson put his hand on his hat in what called a “pleaseGod-catch-this-moment” as Carmona settled under the ball for the final out.

Kossuth’s Annaleigh Coleman’s work on the hardwood and softball diamond and in the classroom allowed her to be selected as the state’s female recipient of the Wendy’s High School Heisman.

Coleman named Wendy’s state winner

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Annaleigh Coleman has no beef with Wendy’s.

Earlier this year the recent Kossuth High School graduate was selected as the Mississippi female recipient of the Wendy’s High School Heisman.

The 20 finalists -- 10 male and 10 female -- were honored at the annual banquet held at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Former Ole Miss standout and current New Albany

girls’ basketball coach John Stroud was the speaker for the event.

Then-Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame Executive Director Michael Rubenstein, who has since passed away, announced the top male and female from the state.

Kevin Muzzi of Saint Joseph’s in Greenville was the male recipient.

Seattle 6-pack: Mariners no-hit Dodgers Associated Press

SEATTLE— Mariners shortstop Brendan Ryan popped his head into the clubhouse interview room and insisted his normally stoic manager enjoyed the history that just took place.

“It’s OK to smile skip, we just got a no-no,” Ryan shouted to Seattle manager Eric Wedge, bringing a smile and chuckle to Wedge’s face.

There were plenty of smiles

to go around the Seattle clubhouse late Friday night, mostly because so many had a hand in the third no-hitter in Seattle’s history.

Kevin Millwood pitched six no-hit innings before leaving with a groin injury, and a of Seattle relievers continued to hold the Dodgers in check until Tom Wilhelmsen closed out a 1-0 win over Los Angeles for his third save.

Seattle’s six-pack of arms

joined the Mets’ Johan Santana, the Angels’ Jered Weaver and White Sox right-hander Philip Humber on the no-hit list of 2012. It was the second no-hitter at Safeco Field this season after Humber’s perfect game against the Mariners in April — the first two in the park’s 13-year history.

The 10th combined no-hitter in major league history tied the record with six pitchers used and was the first since a

six-pack of Astros no-hit the New York Yankees in June 2003. Three combined nohitters happened in a two-year span of 1990 and 1991, including then California Angels’ Mark Langston and Mike Witt combining to no-hit the Mariners 1-0 on April 11, 1990.

This time it was Seattle’s turn to add another bit of baseball lore to its history.

To the Finals: Heat top Celtics 101-88 in Game 7

BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press

MIAMI — LeBron James finally got a Game 7 victory, on his third try.

Next up, the NBA finals — and his third try at that elusive first championship.

James had 31 points and 12 rebounds, Chris Bosh hit

a career-best three 3-pointers — the last sparking the run that put it away — and the Miami Heat won their second straight Eastern Conference title by beating the Boston Celtics 101-88 in Game 7 on Saturday night.

Miami opens the title series in Oklahoma City on Tuesday

night.

Dwyane Wade scored and Shane Battier added 12 for the Heat, who won a Game 7 for the first time since 2004 — Wade’s rookie season.

Rajon Rondo finished with 22 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds for Boston, which got 19 points from Paul Pierce in

what might be the last game of the “Big Four” era for the Celtics.

Boston took out its starters with 28.3 seconds left. By then, workers already had a rope around the perimeter of the court, preparing for the Please see HEAT | 9A

HEAT

CONTINUED FROM 8A

Division I baseball in 2000, usually plays home games before a few hundred fans. Now in its first super regional, Stony Brook became the first team to win an NCAA tournament game in LSU’s 10,000-plus-seat baseball cathedral since it opened in 2009, dropping the six-time national champs to 9-1 in tournament games in the current Alex Box, built just down the road from the old one.

Perhaps if the Seawolves can win again Sunday against an LSU program seeking its 16th trip to Omaha, they’ll return to the New York metro area as the toast of the town.

“I’ve been hearing from my friends and family back home and they’ve been saying we’re the buzz in Long Island right now,” said Stony Brook first baseman Kevin Courtney, who was 3 for 3 with a home run. “This is a great story. It’s the best thing you could ask for.”

Stony Brook coach Matt Senk said he had not decided who his Game 3 starter would be. LSU coach Paul Mainieri said Ryan Eades (5-2) will start for the Tigers.

“This is why you come to LSU, to pitch in games like this; if you’re afraid, you came to the wrong school,” Mainieri said.

“It’s not going to be easy for the other team to stop us at the end.

We feel confident in ourselves, and Ryan’s got to lead the way.”

East trophy presentation.

Down by seven at the half and eight early in the third quarter, Miami started clawing back. An 8-0 run tied it at 59-all, capped

by Wade hitting a jumper, and then the fun really started.

There were six lead changes and five more ties in the final 7 minutes of the third. Bosh scored with 29 seconds left for the last of those ties, and it was 73-all going into the fourth.

Six games decided nothing, and nothing was decided in Game 7 until the very last moments, neither team yielding much of anything. Battier’s 3-pointer with 8:06 left in the third cut Boston’s lead at the time to 59-57.

And back and forth they went.

For the next 13 minutes, a span of 46 dizzying, unbelievable possessions, neither team

led by more than two points.

That finally changed when Bosh his third 3-pointer with 7:17 left. James made a runner on the next Miami trip, and suddenly the Heat had their biggest lead of the night to that point, 88-82 with 6:54 remaining.

They were on their way.

James made a 3-pointer — it went into the books as a 30-footer, as he leaped from atop one of the Eastern Conference finals stickers on the floor — as the shot clock was expiring with just under 6 minutes left, making it 91-84. Even mistakes were going Miami’s way, as James lost a behindthe-back dribble, only to have the ball skip right into Battier’s hands.

Bosh scored from inside the lane to end that possession.

Wade scored on the next one, the lead was 95-86 with 3:23 left, Boston called time and the

building was simply rocking.

James did plenty of talking on the Heat bench in that stoppage, clearly saying the word “Finish” at one point.

They listened. A three-point play by Wade with 2:53 left all but sealed it, the Heat were up 12, and Oklahoma City beckoned.

Brandon Bass scored 16, Ray Allen finished with 15 and Kevin Garnett scored 14 for the Celtics, who know next season could bring big changes.

A team that was under .500 at the All-Star break almost made the NBA finals.

Almost.

Boston’s first score came when the Celtics were inbounding from under their own basket with 1.2 seconds left on the shot clock. Rondo surveyed the defense, then decided to simply toss the ball off Wade’s back, catch it and score himself.

It was an omen — the Celtics

got plenty of easy scores early.

Boston ran out to a 23-14 lead, before the Heat settled down and tied it twice in the second quarter, the last of those at 35-all with 6:50 left. It was then that Garnett left with his third foul. Heat on a run, Garnett going to the bench, so momentum Miami, right?

Not quite.

Bass scored 10 points in a stretch of just over 3 minutes to spark a 14-3 run, with the Celtics scoring three times off turnovers in that stretch. Allen waltzed in unbothered for a layup with 22 seconds left in the half, and Boston took a 5346 lead into the break. And the least surprised person in the arena was Rivers, who sensed at the morning shootaround that his team would be sharp for Game 7.

They were.

Just in the end, Miami was sharper.

SEATTLE CONTINUED FROM 8A

Seattle had not thrown a no-hitter since Chris Bosio did it against the Boston Red Sox on April 22, 1993.

Since that day, the Mariners had been no-hit twice, including earlier this season when Humber tossed the 21st perfect game in major league history and the Mariners were left to watch the White Sox celebrate on the Safeco Field mound.

On Friday night, after Wilhelmsen got Andre Ethier to ground out to second for the final out, it was rookie catcher Jesus Montero running around with his arms in the air looking for someone to celebrate with.

“It was really fun. I was praying at the last inning,” Montero said. “It was one of my dreams. It was amazing, an amazing feeling.”

The six pitchers tied the

record for the most used in a no-hitter and each played an important role, from Charlie Furbush quickly entering the game after Millwood left in the seventh to Brandon League finding the nasty splitter that had eluded him in recent weeks to Wilhelmsen being so oblivious that teammates had to tell him he just completed a nohitter.

Exactly a week after Santana pitched the first no-hitter in Mets history, Millwood cruised through six innings, giving up only a walk. But after throwing his first warmup pitch for the seventh he felt a twinge in his groin and was pulled.

The Dodgers nearly got a hit when speedy Dee Gordon led off the ninth with a slow roller to shortstop. Ryan, who had just entered as a defensive replacement, charged in and fired to first, where umpire

Ted Barrett called Gordon out on a bang-bang play.

Gordon and manager Don Mattingly argued. Replays were inconclusive.

Elian Herrera then lined out to Ryan before Ethier’s grounder ended the first no-hitter for the Mariners since Bosio. Seattle’s other no-hitter was thrown by Randy Johnson against Detroit on June 2, 1990.

It was the 10th combined no-hitter in big league history and the first since six Astros accomplished the feat at Yankee Stadium on June 11, 2003.

Roy Oswalt started that game for Houston but left two pitches into the second inning with a strained right groin.

“I’m excited for all these guys that came in the game out of the bullpen and kept it going. It’s a little bit more exciting for those guys when they can be a part of it,” Millwood said.

Jamey Bragg gets clothing items ready for Oakland’s Closet of Hope.

Closet of Hope Oakland Baptist Church plans to distribute more than 20,000 pieces of clothing

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

When all else fails, there is still hope.

Oakland Baptist Church is proclaiming the message with a caring heart and more than 20,000 pieces of clothing.

The church-sponsored Closet of Hope is providing an opportunity for those in need to be able to get clothing free of charge.

“We are saying to the community that we care,” said Oakland member Jamey Bragg who is part of one of the committees involved with the closet.

“The closet is for anyone in the area that needs clothes no strings attached.”

The Closet of Hope will be a one-day event located in the former bingo building of Harper Square Mall. Oakland rented the building as a labor of love so individuals can come between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and get a limited amount of clothing on Saturday.

“Volunteers have been donating, sorting and sizing clothing for weeks,” said Bragg. “It has been a group effort by the church and everyone has been so generous.”

The idea for the closet was one that stayed on the heart of Ginger Lancaster following a hope sermon by church pastor Dr. Randy Bostick.

“I have been involved with the youth ministry with my children, but I felt this was something the Lord was telling me to do,” she said. “The clothes are here, now we need people.”

No article of clothing — which also includes shoes — will go to waste. Items left over will be distributed back into the community.

“We would like to see all the racks emptied,” said church volunteer Sherryl Rogers.

Organizers are planning a party atmosphere for the day. There will be a puppet show and coloring stations for kids. Counseling will also be available along with singing and light refreshments throughout the day.

“We want people to realize that God loves them

Harrison Wilhite (lef t) and sister Norah Kate help with the putting of clothes on racks. and so do we,” said Bragg.

“It has been wonderful to see people who like to stay behind the scenes come out and work on this.”

Oakland rented the old bingo hall the first week of May. On Monday, several volunteers continued to place items on the 110 clothing racks.

“Whatever talents people have, we have used them,” added Bragg.

On the day of event, individuals should enter the main entrance of the mall — directly behind Backyard Burgers. Once registered, they will be given a number and then be allowed to shop as long as they want. Both summer and winter clothing along with shoes have been organized by department and size.

Between 2-3 p.m., individuals will be allowed to come back and get more than their limited amount. Organizers are doing this in order to allow as many people as possible to get clothes.

The shopping day also isn’t limited to only people in Corinth and Alcorn County.

“The only hope we have is Jesus and we want to share him,” said Bragg.

“You can live a certain amount of days without food and water, but you can’t live without hope,” added Rogers.

Oakland plans on distributing that plus plenty of clothing come Saturday.

An execution in Corinth Union soldier’s death intriguing chapter in Corinth history

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

Death came to Corinth in many forms during the war. Disease was by far the greatest killer of men followed by the appalling numbers who died in battle or who later succumbed to their wounds. Fatal accidents were not uncommon and during summer months men were known to die from heatstroke. One of the strangest deaths of all was the execution of a Union soldier by his own comrades.

Alex J. Johnson enlisted in the 1st Alabama Cavalry (Union) on June 1st, 1863. Little is known about him; in fact we don’t know a thing about his life before he joined the army. Civil War service records are often filled with fascinating information for genealogists tracing their roots: hometown, hair color, height, age at enlistment, even the last time he was paid. But with Johnson there is next to nothing.

The 1st Alabama Cavalry was an intriguing regiment, a topic I will explore in detail in another article. The troopers of this unit were local boys from Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee who remained faithful to the old Union and chose to fight for the North. As can be expected they were hardly popular with the patriotic Southerners who referred to them as loyalists, Tories or traitors.

Alex Johnson didn’t spend too much time with his new unit. He joined up on Monday the 1st of June at Camp Glendale (modern day Glen), and

by Friday the 19th he had enough. While he was on picket duty, guarding his camp and comrades, he deserted his post.

Desertion was not that uncommon on either side during the war, but it was against military law and offenders were punished if they were captured.

Depending on the circumstances a man could be reduced in rank, sent to prison, given a dishonorable discharge or even face execution. Alex compounded his crime by joining up with a local band of Confederate guerrillas and then was captured fighting for the enemy.

A court martial was convened and considered his case, but it was a foregone conclusion.

For desertion to the en-

emy there could be only one result: death by firing squad. On July 23, at the order of Gen. Greenville Dodge, the officers and men of the Corinth garrison gathered at the Parade Grounds on the east side of town to witness the execution.

It was an intensely hot morning and by 8 a.m. the men in the regiments which had assembled were sweating in their uniforms. The troops were arranged on three sides of a hollow square and at 8:30 the procession arrived. A brass band marched into the square playing a solemn dirge, followed by a wagon bearing Johnson sitting on his coffin. Behind them came the detail of eight men from the 1st Alabama who would serve as the firing squad. Seven of the weapons had been loaded with bullets but a single gun was given a blank round.

When the weapons were handed out to the firing squad no one knew who had the blank, so each man could believe he had not fired one of the fatal bullets.

As the procession fully entered the square the wagon was stopped and four men carried the coffin while Johnson walked behind with the chaplain of the 66th Indiana Infantry.

When they reached the center of the clearing the chaplain and Johnson took off their hats to pray and the condemned man slumped forward, his knees resting against the rough pine box. The firing squad and the officiating officers doffed their hats as well and a photographer from the local studio of Howard & Hall captured the image on a glass plate. Johnson’s last request was to see the photograph but as it would take hours to develop the image, the request was denied.

At last Johnson was directed to sit on the edge of his coffin, a blindfold was tied over his eyes and the firing squad came to attention. At exactly four minutes past 10, “the Provost Marshall gave the command and the unhappy man was launched into eternity.” The photographer took a second image of the still blindfolded body lying next to the coffin with his battered hat placed on top of it. The assembled troops were marched past to view the fate of any man caught

the military service I have not seen before and don’t want to see again; still I think it was perfectly right to shoot the man. He possessed a knowledge of the place here and its

situation so he then deserted, joined the enemy and could have led them in here or at least have troubled us a great deal.”

Wildlife should be left out in the wild As a young lad back in the day, I knew of several people who tried raising wild animals as pets, caring for them just like they would for their baby kitty or pups. I often thought of how neat it would be to have a pet coon or deer of my own.

But the fact was, and still is, wild animals are what they are... wild. They do not make good pets.

Their instinctive nature remains even after being raised into adulthood, making them unsafe to be around. Not only that, it is illegal to hold wild animals captive regardless of the circumstances.

E a c h y e a r around this time w h e n deer begin dropDavid ping their Green f a w n s , state wildOutdoors life officials send out a reminder of what to do in the event of encountering a babe in the wild. Valery Smith, Executive Director of Mississippi Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc., passed along some helpful information through a recent press release.

In it she said,” A lot of folks just don’t know wild animals rarely abandon their babies and, as a result, they try to raise the fawns themselves, which is illegal, or they bring them to us. We want to educate the public on what to look for if they find a wild baby alone.”

Upon such an encounter, the best thing to do is leave them alone or, at a minimum, make sure the animal is truly orphaned.

Animals in the wild are exceptional parents and do not need our help.

Mothers routinely leave to feed close by, but they will not return if the pres-

ence of humans is sensed.

So as long as mom and dad are nearby, the baby will be fine. A baby’s best chance of survival is with its parents.

On the other hand, if you know the mother is dead, or if the baby is injured, call a wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible. Though wellmeaning, most people do not have the skills necessary to rehabilitate an animal, successfully returning it to the wild.

Also by handling wildlife without wearing gloves, there are a number of diseases that can be passed on to you. Some of

these diseases can cause serious problems and even death. With that said, it would be wise to never allow children to handle or cuddle wildlife.

Federal laws prohibit untrained people to administer aid to injured or orphaned wildlife. Rescue them, but call Mississippi Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc. at (662) 429-5105 as soon as possible.

In other outdoor news: The National Catfish Derby on Pickwick Lake kicked off on June 1 and goes through July 5.

In each week of the event, the angler who catches the largest cat-

fish for that week will be the recipient of $100 in cash and a $50 Bass Pro Shops gift card. No cost is required to enter, but fish must be weighed in alive at Pickwick Pro Bass, Hardin County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau or Savannah BP. At the end of the derby, the angler who has caught the largest catfish during the five-week marathon will receive an additional $200 in cash, a $100 Bass Pro Shops card and a free entry to compete in the “World Championship of Catfishing” tournament that will be held July 7 on Pickwick Lake.

Consider purchasing boating insurance for added security

BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Conservation Corner

Recently, we covered some safe boating rules.

However, have you considered another important subject – boat insurance – should an accident occur?

Of course, the wise thing to do is to have your vessel insured properly – that is, if it has a value which would be difficult for you to replace. There are several factors to consider when dealing with this topic. You will have to do some research on

your own before actually obtaining the appropriate insurance for your boating needs.

The first step in finding a good insurer is to ask friends who have had a claim in the past about their experiences with the particular insurer.

Do they have a separate policy or did they add their boat to their homeowner’s policy. If the boat is covered under the homeowner’s policy, then this could be very limiting. Just check it out.

Do you want coverage

for the fishing gear on board? What about towing service for any onthe-water problems that might occur? Find an insurance company that offers this service and ask if it will count against you as an insurance claim.

“Agreed Value” and “Actual Cash Value” are two types of coverage. The difference between them is depreciation. “Agreed Value” costs more up front but your boat is covered at whatever value you and your insurer agree upon.

The other coverage costs

less but the company will factor in depreciation and only pay up to the actual cash value at the time the boat is declared a total or partial loss or property is lost.

Another item to consider is “cruising areas.” This means there are certain areas where the policy is in force. For example, is your cruising area limited to Ross Barnett Reservoir, or Okatibee Reservoir or maybe Eagle Lake? You may have to contact your insurer for an “extension” if you travel outside

of these areas. If you fish in tournaments, make sure you have the liability coverage required. Also, look for a policy that offers some type of reimbursement for your entry fee if something unforeseen prevents you from competing after you have paid.

Last but certainly not least, see if the insurer offers discounts for features such as a diesel powered engine, fire extinguishers and on-board radios.

It doesn’t matter if you are new to the water or

if you’ve been acquainted with it for years, it is very important to have the right kind of insurance coverage. So get that vessel insured and continue boating in Mississippi’s great waters!

Stone was a great Confederate leader as well as governor John Marshall Stone, the son of Asher and Judith Royal Stone, was a great Confederate leader and governor of Mississippi. Stone was born in Gibson County, Tenn., in 1830. His father died when he was about 11 years old and the responsibility of looking after a family of nine children fell largely upon him. In early manhood, he taught school in his native county. Later he became a clerk on a steamboat running from Eastport to the Ohio River. Even later, he became a clerk in the mercantile establishment of Col. R.W. Price, the largest landowner and merchant of Eastport, a prosperous village on the Tennessee River.

When the Memphis & Charleston Railroad was completed and the new town of Iuka was established, Stone became the first depot agent. War came soon on the heels of the opening of the railroad, and the office was frequently closed since the trains were run by the different armies.

When war was declared,

Stone, left Iuka in May 1861 for northern Virginia. It received its first taste of war at Harper’s Ferry. Later at Yorktown in April 1862, Capt. Stone was elected colonel of the regiment. At the Battle of the Wilderness, Col. Stone was publicly commended

by General Lee and was given the commission of brigadier general. He was offered the command of the Texas regiment but refused to leave the men he had brought from Mississippi.

Returning from a recruiting trip to Mississippi with 800 recruits, Col. Stone was surprised at Salisbury, N.C., and he and all the 800 were taken prisoner. They were

moved to Johnson’s Island, where John Stone remained a prisoner until July 25, 1865.

Returning to Iuka after his release from prison, John Stone again took up the duties of the railroad agent. He was also mayor and county treasurer. In 1869, he was elected to the state Senate, representing the northern Mississippi counties of Tishomingo and Itawamba. He was made speaker pro tem of the Senate. When Lt. Gov. A.K. Davis was removed from office and Gov. A. Ames resigned under fire in 1876, Col. Stone succeeded to the governorship. A new era dawned in the carpet bagridden state of Mississippi. How well he served is one of the bright pages of Mississippi history. He was elected without opposition for a full term afterwards.

After a yellow fever epidemic, a state board of health was organized during the governorship of John M. Stone. The A & M College at Starkville, now Mississippi State University, was established in

However, private life was not for him to enjoy. In 1886, he was appointed by the governor as one of the first board of railroad commissioners.

In 1889, Stone again ran for governor and was inaugurated on Jan. 13, 1890. It was during this term of office that the constitutional convention was called and which gave to Mississippi what was said to be one of the best state constitutions of the

U.S. It served as a model for many other states.

After being ineligible for reelection due to the terms of the new constitution, Gov. Stone again retired to private life in 1896. He was first elected president of the Merchants Bank of Jackson.

He then filled the vacancy of president at the A & M College in Starkville.

Unfortunately, he only served there nine months, dying at the home of his adopted daughter, Mrs. Annie Stone McKie, in Holly Springs on March 26, 1900.

Gov. Stone was buried in Iuka and his funeral was the largest the town had ever witnessed. The

entire student body of A & M College attended.

Over his grave the cadets sounded taps to one of the most distinguished citizens Mississippi has given the world.

No story would be complete which did not emphasize the impact Gov. Stone had on Tishomingo County and the state of Mississippi. Gov. Stone’s love and devotion to those around him was beautiful. The United Daughters of the Confederacy of Tishomingo County is known as the John Marshall Stone Chapter and a portion of the highway passing through Tishomingo County is named after him. The genealogical library at the Tishomingo County Archives & History Museum is known as the John Marshall Stone Research Library. It is fitting that Tishomingo County honors his name.

(StatePoint) Long days, lush plants, beautiful sunsets -- summer can be the perfect backdrop for the ideal wedding.

The timing is perfect, so make sure the rest of the details follow suit. Be sure to pick out cheerful engagement party and bridal shower invitations, as first impressions are very important in setting the mood. A relaxed and graceful outdoor bridal shower is characteristic for summer.

From there, it is on to the main event.

“Summer weddings are elegant and beautiful,” said Mariam Naficy, CEO of Minted. com, an online stationery store that specializes in wedding invitations and accessories.

“But elegance doesn’t come without the right amount of preparation.

It’s an event that will be remembered forever; why not make it as perfect as can be?”

Here are some ways to assure your summer wedding lives up to all your dreams.

■ Guest List: It’s important that you and your fiancé come to an agreement on the guest list, as getting bogged down on minor details can slow other critical wedding plans. Many people make travel plans in summer so keep it organized and send the “Save the Date” as soon as the list is finalized.

■ Invitations: Let

guests know they should expect to be impressed by the ceremony. The right wedding invitations will show personality, follow the theme, and express excitement about the couple’s future life together. Specialty websites are an ideal place to get just the right invitation for the big day.

■ Colors: Darker hues are for the cooler months. Use light and bright colors evocative of the season like baby blue, green, teal and pink.

■ Outdoor Ceremony: Imagine saying “I do” outdoors on a beautiful day while lovebirds flutter and chirp around you. There won’t be a dry eye in sight. With the comfort of your guests in mind, and for a decorative touch, be sure to provide some relief from the heat and sun with a gazebo or a trellised awning.

■ Flowers: The scent of gorgeous fresh cut flowers will spruce up any wedding and accentuate that summer mindset. Opt for Birds of Paradise for a tropical feel or Calla Lilly for a touch of elegance. Just be sure the colors match the rest of your décor!

■ Live Music: Having a live band play at the reception will keep the celebration exciting long after you share your first wedded kiss.

You found the dream partner. You picked the dream date. Now your dream wedding awaits you.

Couple hesitates to confess living arrangements DEAR ABBY: My fiancee, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jenny,â&#x20AC;? and I are being married next year.

Jenny is a devout Catholic and is having a difficult time coming to terms with the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living together. We recently moved out of state as a result of job transfers and -- for purely economic reasons -- moved in together.

Now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to be married, Jenny is beside herself with what to tell her new parish priest because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid he will refuse to marry us if she reveals that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living together.

Abby, I love Jenny very much, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned that this is going to cause

problems between us. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considering not telling the priest that Abigail we live toVan Buren gether because she Dear Abby feels he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inclined to agree. Before we moved, we were living separately.

Any advice would be helpful. -- LIVING IN SIN IN ST. LOUIS DEAR LIVING IN SIN: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the policies are in St. Louis, but some dioceses will not marry couples who co-

habitate unless they first separate.

You and your fiancee should go to the priest, explain the entire situation, including the economic reasons for your living together, and tell him you would like to be married.

It may not be as bad as Jenny fears. The alternative, starting married life with a lie, is worse than separating temporarily.

DEAR ABBY: My husband of many years has asked me to promise him that I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inform his family and adult children when he dies. He wants no funeral or obituary -nothing to mark his passing. I am concerned because his health isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good

and I must decide soon if I can make that promise.

His adult children and their families rarely call, visit or write to him. They never send a greeting card for any occasion. The only time he hears from them is when they want something. He says that since they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about him while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care when he dies.

I feel torn about this.

Only a few members of his family like me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to cause more hard feelings. Were my husband to die next week, I would be hard-pressed to obey his final wish.

I would want to notify those few family members who would be hurt if

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Please print this. Perhaps his children will see it and change their ways.

But please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention my name or town. -- BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE DEAR BETWEEN: While I understand your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire that his children, who show no concern for him, not be notified in the event of his death, I do not agree that they should not be told of their fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing. People who feel the need to mourn should be allowed to work through their grief and achieve closure. Failure to notify them will only fuel the fire of resentment they al-

ready feel for you.

In spite of their inattentiveness, the children should be notified, whether there is to be a funeral or not. If you wish to have a memorial service of some kind to enable you and those you care about to grieve, you should be entitled to have a private one. His children can hold their own service if they need the closure.

Reunited, The Mavericks ready to run at CMA Fest

BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Entertainment Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — For years, people have been approaching Raul Malo with an annoyingly frequent question: When are The Mavericks getting back together?

“I always thought it was funny — people holding on to a certain of part of their lives they didn’t want to let go,” Malo said.

“And I always dismissed it: ‘Oh, get on with your life. You’ll be better off without us anyway.’”

At his solo shows, in restaurants, on the street, the question kept coming and coming from random places. Then he started to hear from people with the money to back a reunion tour.

“It just kept brewing and brewing,” Malo said.

When finally the idea

of an album was tossed out, the group that once turned country music on its ear with a galloping run of unexpected successes was back together again. And with the changing face of country music finally catching up with the band’s all-overthe-map vibe, who knows where this might end up?

The Mavericks take the largest step in its return Sunday at LP Field during CMA Music Fest when the band will play in front of more than 60,000. The quartet (original members Malo, bassist Robert Reynolds and drummer Paul Deakin with guitarist Eddie Perez) have a new single, “Born To Be Blue,” a five-song EP called “Suited Up and Ready” and the new untitled album on the way in September.

Some at LP Field will remember their run of hits like “What a Crying Shame,” ‘‘There Goes My Heart” and “Here Comes the Rain” and their renowned live shows from their heyday in the 1990s.

Others will experience it for the first time, an opportunity to blow minds the band is excited to have.

“If we’d continued together we would’ve just been a band,” Reynolds said. “Maybe we would’ve eventually bored everybody to death, right? But the break gives us a chance to be something relevant again — and irreverent at the same time.”

Irreverent might be the perfect word to describe The Mavericks. Born of the very non-country music scene in Miami where they were more likely to play for fans of Mari-

lyn Manson than Garth Brooks, the band never fit the cowboy hat mold popular in Nashville.

With music flavored by Latin rhythms and rock, punctuated by Malo’s soaring, romantic tenor and accentuated with orange suits and a very South Florida flamboyance, The Mavericks nonetheless elbowed their way into Nashville.

Scott Borchetta was at MCA when the guys released its first major label album in 1992 and now hosts the band at his Big Machine Label Group.

“We were made aware of them at MCA because of these incredible live shows we were hearing about that would start at midnight and play till 6 in the morning,” Borchetta said. “And it wasn’t legend we found out. Not

unlike the way Dwight Yoakam broke out of LA punk and new wave clubs, you had The Mavericks that had created their entirely own unique scene.”

He described the group as “just left of core, if you will,” and a hard sell at radio. But they had platinum records and sold-out tours and won a Grammy and multiple awards from the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.

“Man, you don’t just like The Mavericks, you love The Mavericks — or you just don’t get it and that’s OK,” Borchetta said. “But the people who love The Mavericks, get out of their way because they are going to have it.”

The group officially fell apart in the early 2000s under an extreme case of burnout. Each went their

own way. Malo started a solo career and considered moving away from Nashville. Reynolds hadn’t performed in six or seven years and was developing music business projects, including the new television reality show “Rock N’ Roll Recon,” which will debut on CMT later this year.

The chance to do it all again has been spirit-lifting.

“I’d begun to wonder if I’d even bother performing again, so maybe what’s happened for me is almost like a magical rediscovery of myself, to know that performing was really all I ever wanted to do,” Reynolds said. “... Short of wearing a suit, I was out in meetings in conference rooms. So when you put the guitar on — wow, you’re born again.”

Gamemakers flip focus to multiple screens at annual E3

BY DERRIK J. LANG AND RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writers

LOS ANGELES — If the gaming industry agreed on one idea at this week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, it’s that playing video games on just one screen is no longer enough.

The top three publishers — Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony — each focused on new ways to spread games and other content across several screens at the gaming industry’s annual trade show in downtown Los Angeles.

While the publishers’ systems rely on the same premise, namely using more screens to access more content, each is achieving multi-screen functionality through dif-

ferent means: Microsoft is tapping into existing phones and tablets; Sony is depending on its PlayStation Vita handheld device; and Nintendo is coupling an iPad-like controller with its new Wii U console.

“I don’t know who has the best approach,” said Martin Rae, president of the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. “I kind of like Microsoft’s at this point, but it’s going to be whatever is easiest, and then I think they’ll all get it right.”

Microsoft Corp. surprised E3 attendees Monday by unveiling software called Xbox SmartGlass that will allow Xbox 360 users to stream content to their smartphones, tablets and PCs. The app was

demonstrated through such actions as turning a smartphone into a remote used to browse the Web and transforming a tablet into a map for the new game “Ascend: New Gods.”

“I think you’re going to see these persistent entertainment experiences show up all the time,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios.

“You’re really going to start blurring where I’m playing to what I’m playing.”

Sony Corp. continued to build upon the “crossplay” functionality of its PlayStation 3 console and high-definition Vita handheld device. In one example on the E3 show floor with the platform

Horoscopes Sunday, June 10, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

The Pisces moon brings a denouement before the weekend’s closing curtain. Conflicts are resolved, scores are settled, tension is released. The recounting of recent events reveals that we are better off for all the work and play that filled the past few days.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In your opinion, excessive flirting just looks ridiculous. You know exactly how thick to lay on the flattery and attention. You’ll like what comes from using your talent for flirting appropriately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your ability or inability to accomplish something is defined solely by your will. If you want something enough, you will do what it takes to get there regardless of the obstacles you encounter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your sign mate Walt Whitman said, “Keep your face always toward the sunshine -- and the shadows will fall behind you.” Given your optimistic mood, that will be an easy thing to do now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Socially conscious, you’re worried about making things all about you or pulling too much focus from the rest of the group. But don’t worry. You’re supposed to be the central character in today’s story.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day features lingering feelings and a tendency to go over (and over) the recent past in your mind. It will benefit you to stop rereading this chapter of your life so you can start writing a new one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If it

seems too good to be true, that’s probably because you just haven’t worked out in your head what’s in it for the other person. Realizing all the other person has to gain will impact your decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Perhaps no one will throw a parade for you if you take time to do simple things the right way. But there’s a certain sacred elegance in adhering to your own quiet method.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your day is best summed up by the French expression c’est la vie. In other words, that is just the way life is. Acceptance is key to staying emotionally even, which is the most powerful way to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Contrary to the saying, you absolutely can judge a book by its cover.

You won’t know the story, but you’ll certainly know the sensibility of the publisher and author. Trust your first impression.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your solid earth-sign nature keeps you cautiously guarded against the wave of change, a wave that is going to crash regardless of how you feel.

The prospect is either exciting or scary. Or both. Definitely both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The future is knitted together out of the yarn of the present. So by being and interacting fully in the present, you are forming the future. A playful, joyful present equals a future of the same feeling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The compassion you give to yourself is the most precious kind. You’ll have the sense that all is forgiven. Truly you can let bygones be bygones and begin anew at any moment.

Cryptoquip

game “LittleBigPlanet 2,” one player tapped the Vita screen to drop eggs into the tops of chutes, while two other players tried catching them below on the TV using PS3 remotes.

“The future of gaming is something like ‘PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale,’ where you’re playing against people all over the world, and some people are playing on a Vita and some people are playing on a PlayStation,” said Jack Tretton, president of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, of the new fighting game that will be available for online play across both systems.

Nintendo Co. is taking a decidedly different route when it comes to multiple

screens.

The company unleashed several games at E3 for its new Wii U console, which uses a 6.2inch touchscreen controller to provide different perspectives and gameplay compared to what’s on TV. It can also be used independent of the TV, but it’s not portable like the Nintendo 3DS. “It’s not a separate purchase,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America.

“It’s an integrated part of the overall system, and what that means is the gameplay and experiences you’ll have are much more continuous and holistic.”

The game that seemed to win the most acclaim with expo-goers for its

use of a second screen was Ubisoft Entertainment’s “ZombiU,” a firstperson Wii U zombie game that transforms the gyroscope-equipped controller’s screen into a virtual scanner that can find items, hack electronic locks and zoom in on the undead when it’s moved around in the real world.

Publishers, already spurred by the popularity of cheaper-to-produce mobile and social games, were coy on when these new systems would be released and how much they’d cost.

Nintendo didn’t reveal a price or release date for the Wii U beyond the holiday season, and Microsoft said SmartGlass would be free and out sometime this fall.
