James Meredith, the first black Ole Miss student, is on a journey to challenge how the African-American community thinks about its responsibility to its youth. The 78-year-old Meredith stopped by the Daily Corinthian office Thursday afternoon on his “Walk for Education & Truth” — a trip around Mississippi to spread his message of racial advancement. Meredith’s walk comes 50 years after he made history by breaking the color barrier at the University of Mississippi. In 1962, he became the first African-American student to attend classes at all-white Ole Miss. Meredith’s admittance to the college sparked a riot on the campus and made the 28-year-old air force veteran an icon of the civil rights movement. On Thursday Meredith said he was on a mission from God to get the people of Mississippi to do for themselves, to do all they can to make their own lives better. “A lot of things have changed in Mississippi, but in many ways they’ve made things
much worse,” said Meredith. “I graduated high school 61 years ago. Then every black high school graduate could go to some good college in America. Today, less than one out of 10 goes to college, because they don’t make high enough on the entrance exam.” Meredith said he had promised God to spend the rest of his life fighting against this problem. What is the solution? According to Meredith, the solution is reaching children in their most formative years. “What any human being can do is determine a child’s foundation from birth to age 5. That foundation is not being laid today in Mississippi. And we’ve got to change it,” he said. The Columbia Law School graduate believes Mississippi can move from the bottom to the top if people will follow a list of five points he has established. “These five points...it took me 40 years to get that into five sentences,” Meredith said. Meredith’s five points are: 1. Only the family of God can Please see TOUR | 2A
Portraits of a Battle: Exhibit shares images of anniversary reenactments BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
Photographers Lisa Wilbanks and Bill Avery have captured the dedication and commitment of the Civil War reenactors who took part in this year's 150th anniversary reenactments of the Battle of Shiloh in a new exhibit now open at the Corinth Library. The display of portraits of those who came to the area to bring to life the region's Civil War history will run through July and August at the library. Avery said the project began when he and Wilbanks, who have partnered on several other exhibits in the past, decided they wanted to document the 150th anniversary events. “We decided it was some-
thing we wanted to capture,” said Avery. Wilbanks said she initially wanted to focus on the battle itself, but found herself drawn to the scenes of the reenactors and their unique dedication to history. “They're so very very much into the history,” she said. The photographers both said they were impressed with the commitment shown by the reenactors who spend countless years and huge amounts of money studying the history and collecting material and equipment to properly depict life in this era. “These people are trying to keep alive the memory of this time,” said Avery. Wilbanks said as she visited
with the reenactors she found entire families involved in the reenactment. Many of the participants plan their lives around these events, taking their vacation time to go and live the stories of the past. “It really is a lifestyle for them,” she said. Avery said he hopes the exhibit will allow those who weren't able to attend all the events to see what went on and those who did gain a new perspective on the commemoration. Wilbanks said her goal was to create portraits of the individuals and show their dedication to detail and commitment to their craft. The exhibit is open now through August at the Corinth Library.

Youth group organize auction to benefit orphanage in Ethiopia BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Ginger Jones saw the need. The Tate Baptist Church youth girls were ready to help. Jones, the wife of Tate Baptist youth minister Daniel Jones, read about the effort of friends Russ and Anna Polsgrove to raise money for orphans in Ethiopia. The Polsgrove, who have an adopted daughter from Ethiopia, are trying to raise $30,000 for a new orphanage program there. In Africa, nearly 12 percent of the children have lost at least one parent, and Ethiopia has one of the highest orphan rates of any African country. Bring Love In is setting up several new widow led homes in Ethiopia, and it needs new sponsors to make it happen. Each home costs $625 per month to fully support a widow

for mission,” said Jones. “All I had to do was ask and they were
ready to help.” Their idea to help is having a Ladies Night Auction on Thursday, June 28 in the church’s youth room. Individuals will be allowed to preview the items up for auction at 6:30 p.m. with the actual event beginning at 7. Money raised from the event will go to the Bring Love In organization. “Christians are called to care for widows and the fatherless,” said youth member Abby Brady. “We are also called to have a mission-minded heart,” added Anna Martin. “Our church is very mission minded.” The young ladies have set a goal of $1,000 on Thursday night.

solve the problems of our time. 2. The Bible says, “You should train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” 3. The African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” 4. God’s Plan: Every church in Mississippi should take responsibility for every child born within two miles of the church. 5. The church should keep a record of each child from birth to age 21. A big part of his plan is to spread his message through the media, or “the message machine,” which Meredith sees as being a force more powerful than the govern-
ment. “In high school what they taught was there is three branches of government — the executive, judicial and legislative. The truth is, there’s four branches, when you count the media,” he said. “And the media is 100 times more powerful than the other three together.” The “Walk for Education & Truth” isn’t the first time Meredith has used a trip across the state to raise awareness for a cause. In 1966, he began a one-man “March Against Fear” from Memphis all the way through Mississippi. Just south of Hernando on Highway 51, Meredith was bushwhacked — blasted with three volleys of buckshot by unemployed Memphis resident Aubrey Norvell.
After a brief period of recuperation, Meredith would continue his march and help hundreds of black Mississippians register to vote. While Meredith is a symbol of the civil rights movement, he has never allowed himself to be controlled by any organization. Years after he became the first black student in a Mississippi college, Meredith came out as an opponent of ebonics, a word used to describe the language of African Americans. Along the way his seemingly contradictory actions have puzzled and enraged those who wish to use his energy and intelligence for their own ends. Corinth High School graduate, author and
journalist Curtis Wilkie described Meredith in his book “Dixie: A Personal Odyssey Through Events That Shaped the Modern South.” Wilkie wrote: “An eccentric whose politics befuddled others in the civil rights community, Meredith moved like a lone wolf, criticizing movement leaders and voting Republican.” Now — 50 years after he became famous for destroying the notion that Mississippi’s colleges were only for students born with white skin — Meredith is still out there. He’s still prowling, challenging what he identifies as the wrongs in his native state, and still at war with the forces that are holding back the black community. Staff photo Mark Boehler

from their preoperation education and preparation through the actual operation itself and on through the physical therapy and rehabilitation that follows. The center is currently focused on hip and knee replacements, but Hardwick said they hope to offer other joint replacements in the future. She said they use a team approach that involves all
members of their staff in caring for the patient and encouraging them through their surgery and recuperation. They also work to involve not only the patient, but the patient’s family in the process to make sure the patient is fully supported on their road to recovery. Hardwick said the center’s work begins when the patient is initially referred to one of their three orthopaedic specialists
- Dr. John Foropoulos, Dr. Randall Frazier or Dr. Daniel Downs. The patient receives comprehensive education and support to help them fully understand what they need to do before and after their surgery and what their treatment plan will involve. The staff of the center was handpicked for their interest in the specialty and for their highly motivated attitude toward caring for the patients.
The patient benefits from working with the same group of dedicated and caring professionals throughout their surgery and recovery so their constantly surrounded by people they know and trust, said Hardwick. She said they’ve already received a great deal of positive feedback from patients and families during their first two weeks of operation. This feedback is important and they will be
constantly seeking opinions from their patients to help them continue to improve what they do to create the best possible experience for those they care for. Hardwick said they plan to hold a grand opening for the center within the next few weeks. They will also be reaching out to the community with education efforts including a seminar on arthritis currently being planned. The
seminar will be held during the second week of July with a final date to be announced soon. They are also already planning a patient reunion luncheon for each quarter of the year. Hardwick said they hope the luncheons will be an opportunity for them to see the progress their former patients have made as well as learn from them about how they can continue to improve their services for future patients.

‘Angry’ money gives funding edge to GOP BY MICHAEL BARONE There has been a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth as, in the spring, it appeared that forces supporting Mitt Romney would be able to raise about as much money as those supporting Barack Obama. There’s even more now that it seems likely that the pro-Romney side will raise and spend more money than the pro-Obama side. Four years ago, the Obama forces heavily outspent those supporting John McCain. The Obama campaign had enough money to target — and carry — heretofore Republican states like North Carolina and Indiana. That experience made the Democrats spoiled. The prospect that the other side would have as much money as they do struck them as a cosmic injustice. The prospect that it would have more —heaven forfend! They like to blame this situation on the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, which allows corporations and unions to spend money on political speech. They did so even after their defeat in the June 5 Wisconsin recall election, in which Citizens United had no effect because fundraising was governed by state campaign finance laws. What’s interesting is that, if current projections are right, this will be the third election in a row in which the party holding the White House will be outspent by the opposition. In 2004, incumbent Republican George W. Bush’s side was outspent narrowly by those opposing him and favoring Democrat John Kerry. In 2008, Barack Obama broke his promise to rely on public financing and raised and spent about $750 million. About half as much was spent on behalf of John McCain, who accepted public financing. Now, despite the clout any incumbent president has, Democrats are likely to be outspent by Republicans. All of which tends to undermine the case made for campaign spending limits. In the 1976 Buckley v. Valeo case, the Supreme Court said limits on campaign contributions were constitutional. They didn’t violate the First Amendment guarantee of free speech because they were intended to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption. In effect, the Court said that you can abridge First Amendment rights in order to limit “smart money” contributions. Smart money, by definition, goes only to incumbents and candidates with a good chance of winning. But in our last two presidential elections and apparently in this one, the smart money going to the party in power has been outweighed by “angry money” going to the party out of power. The billionaires and the many, many others fueling the anti-Bush coffers in 2004 believed that the 43rd president had lied America into an unjustified and probably unwinnable war. In 2008, Barack Obama raised a lot of “hope” money and, since it looked like a Democratic year, a lot of smart money. But angry money from Bush-haters helped propel his total take to record levels. This year, there’s no doubt that the billionaires and the many, many others contributing to the Romney campaign and pro-Romney super PACs are angry about the Obama Democrats’ policies and believe they will be harmful to the nation. In sum, angry money seems to be trumping smart money in American politics these days. Which leads one to wonder whether the increasingly Sisyphean project of restricting campaign contributions is worth pursuing. The Supreme Court in Citizens United and other cases seems to be edging toward a reversal of Buckley v. Valeo. There may be five votes in favor of giving political speech the same First Amendment treatment as student armbands, nude dancing and flag burning. That would restore the priorities of the Framers, who were interested in protecting political speech more than these other things. American voter turnout has been rising, and so has Americans’ willingness to contribute money to political causes they think important. These are not negative trends, though incumbents targeted in attack ads tend to think so. The apparent Republican edge in spending this year, like the Democratic edge in 2004, was evidence of widespread and heartfelt opposition to an incumbent president. It’s a sign of civic health, not sickness. (Michael Barone, senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner,www.washingtonexaminer.com, is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)
Prayer for today Lord God, in times of grief help us to lean on your word. Strengthen us to know what is most important — our relationship with you. Amen.

Gas prices still huge issue in election STARKVILLE — Remember the 2012 Mississippi GOP presidential primary? Remember former Republican U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich’s promises to bring the nation’s gas prices back down to $2.50 per gallon? Gingrich went on to his losses to former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) in Mississippi and Alabama, two Southern states that by rights should have been Gingrich strongholds with eventual Republican nominee Mitt Romney not far behind either of them. But during Gingrich’s time of maximum momentum in the GOP primaries in the Deep South, it was Gingrich’s energy policy that got the most play and that resonated with Southerners. Gingrich preached domestic energy production and pointed the finger of blame at President Barack Obama for the country’s high gas prices. There’s a reason Gingrich’s message resonated in the South in general and in Mississippi specifically. Mississippi’s average gas price of late has been
about $3.19 per gallon and cheaper than that in several venues. Yet that price is more Sid Salter p r o f o u n d l y to Columnist painful Mississippi motorists than the $4.36 per gallon price paid by Alaska motorists or the $4.06 per gallon being paid by California drivers. Why? The Oil Price Information Service reports that Mississippi drivers pay 11.8 percent of their total income for gasoline at the $3.19 per gallon price while Alaskans pay 5.2 percent of their total income for gasoline at $4.36 per gallon. Californians pay 7.1 percent of their income for gasoline at $4.06 per gallon. High gas prices in states like Mississippi with large rural populations who must travel farm-to-market roads to commute great distances for jobs or to sell their wares are particular drags on a state’s economy and greatly impede the creation of jobs. The current numbers
represent an improvement over the same statistics back in March of 2011. In that month, Mississippians were spending 13.2 percent of their total income on gasoline at $3.42 per gallon. At that time, the national average was 7.92 percent of total income spent for gasoline nationwide. It stands to reason that the state with the lowest per capita income would also be the state with the people most vulnerable to rising gasoline prices. Mississippi’s poverty has virtually guaranteed that rising gas prices would hit this state harder than more affluent states. Drivers in Connecticut spend only 2.5 percent of their income on gasoline. Clearly, President Barack Obama’s energy policy will be a key factor in the 2012 presidential election. Should gasoline prices soar at the pumps leading up to the November election, Obama’s fortunes will take a decided hit. For good or ill, Obama has been roundly criticized for failing to make it easier for U.S. companies to drill for new U.S. domestic supplies of oil rather
than to maintain dependence on oil from the nation’s enemies like Iran and other hostile countries in the Middle East. Obama has also been criticized for his management of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The country is still dependent on imports for about half the nation’s energy needs. The truth is that no president – Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative – can truly have much impact on the market price of gas. The U.S. produces only about 9 percent of the world’s oil. Complying with everything the “drillbaby-drill” supporters want would only push that total to about 20 percent. But perception is reality in politics and should gas prices soar again in states like Mississippi where nothing hurts the economy like higher gas prices, President Obama will likely have to pay the political tab that comes due in November.

Behind the crack-up of the Right In introducing his new book, “Leo Strauss and the Conservative Movement in America,” Paul Gottfried identifies a fundamental divide between neoconservatives and the traditional right. The divide is over the question: What is this nation, America? Straussians, writes Gottfried, “wish to present the construction of government as an open-ended rationalist process. All children of the Enlightenment, once properly instructed, should be able to carry out this ... task.” For traditional conservatives, before the nation is born, “ethnic and cultural preconditions” must exist. All “successful constitutional orders,” he writes, “are the expressions of already formed nations and cultures.” To the old right, America as a nation and a people already existed by 1789. In a recent issue of Modern Age, Jack Kerwick deals with this divide. Irving Kristol, he writes, and quotes that founding father of modern neoconservatism, saw America as “a ‘creedal’ nation, a nation to which anyone can belong irrespective of ‘ethnicity or blood ties of any kind, or lineage, or length of residence even.’” “For Kristol and his ilk,” Kerwick goes on, “one’s identity as an American is established by nothing more than an intellectual exercise whereby one rationally assents to the propositions encapsulated in the

Declaration.” “Given this unqualified quasi-religious commitment to ‘the Rights of Pat Man,’ (for a Buchanan neoconservative) America Columnist must be future-oriented, for as long as human rights are threatened, and regardless of where they are imperiled, her work in the world will never be complete.” Here one arrives at a root cause of the conflict between neocons and the right — a conflict that did not mature until the end of the Cold War. Given their belief in America as an ideological nation and their fear that the party of George McGovern and Jimmy Carter was failing to wage the Cold War effectively against our ideological foe, communism, it was natural that the neocons would defect from their party to align with the party of Ronald Reagan. By the 1980s, they were allies of the Old Right for the last decade of the Cold War. It was when that Cold War ended that the chasm came into full view. Some conservatives began to argue that now that the Soviet Union was history and Mao’s China had given up on world revolution, our war was over and we should bring our troops home and become again “a normal country in a normal time.”
Neoconservatives cried that this was “isolationism,” and backed U.S. interventions in Panama, Haiti, Somalia, Kuwait and Iraq. While a Republican House opposed war on Serbia, neocons cheered Bill Clinton’s 78 days of bombing that tore Kosovo from the mother country. When some on the right opposed the invasion of Iraq as an unwise and unnecessary war, National Review denounced them as “unpatriotic.” On reflection, the neoconservative rage made sense. If one believes America is not a normal nation with definable interests, but a creedal nation dedicated to democracy, equality and human rights, one has converted to what Kristol called a “civic religion.” And the mission of that faith is to advance the work begun in 1776, to make America — then the entire world — free, democratic and egalitarian. Either our ideology triumphs or another shall, neocons believe. We are in a world historic struggle for the hearts and souls of mankind. This ideology causes neocons to see opponents on the right as heretics and enemies of the true faith. Yet, in the final analysis, the neoconservatism of Irving Kristol, writes Kerwick, future-oriented and utopian, “is not ... a form of conservatism at all.” Decades ago, when Irving called for a “Republican ide-

ology,” the scholar Gerhart Niemeyer upbraided him: “All modern ideologies have the same irrational root: the permeation of politics with millenarian ideas of pseudo-religious character. The result is a dream world.” Neocons envision a future that is utopian — i.e., it is unattainable. For in the real world, history, faith and culture shape peoples, and peoples shape countries to reflect who and what they are. Nations constructed from ideological blueprints like the Soviet Union of Vladimir Lenin and the China of Mao Zedong eventually collapse when their ruling ideas collide fatally with reality and human nature. The one great success of the neocons came about by accident. In the shock of 9/11, George W. Bush was converted to global democratic revolution “to end tyranny in our world.” And off we marched. And after decade-long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, we reaped the harvest: 6,500 dead, 40,000 wounded, trillions in debt, a nation divided and pandemic hatred of America across the Islamic world. Perhaps the new wars for which our neocons clamor in Syria and Iran will prove at last the great leap forward into the brave new world of their dreams. (Patrick J.

State Briefs Associated Press
Quick enforcement sought for abortion law JACKSON — The sponsor of Mississippi’s new abortion law wants the state Health Department to immediately enforce the measure when it takes effect July 1. But the Health Department generally allows some time for any facility it inspects to come into compliance with a law. New restrictions could shut down the state’s only abortion clinic, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a few miles north of the state Capitol. The law requires anyone doing abortions in an abortion clinic to be an OB-GYN with admitting privileges at a local hos-
pital. Such privileges can be difficult to obtain, because hospitals don’t give them to out-of-state doctors or because religiousaffiliated hospitals might not give them to doctors doing elective abortions. The clinic’s spokeswoman, Betty Thompson, said Friday that the three physicians who do abortions at the clinic are all board-certified OB-GYNs. She said two of them have applied for admitting privileges at Jackson-area hospitals, and the third one will submit his applications next week. The sponsor of the new law, House Public Health Committee Chairman Sam Mims, R-McComb, sent a letter this week to the state health officer, Dr. Mary Currier,
saying there’s no reason to delay enforcement. “I am certainly aware that the Health Facilities Licensure Division is responsible for regulatory and enforcement duties on many types of facilities and does so with a limited number of employees,” Mims wrote in the letter, which he also sent to The Associated Press. “However, as the author of HB1390, this legislation was one of my priorities as chairman of the Public Health and Human Services Committee, and I consider it an important accomplishment.” July 1 is on a Sunday, when most state government offices are closed. The clinic is also closed on Sundays, according to its website. Health Department

spokesman Liz Sharlot said the clinic could be inspected Monday, July 2. “We will be inspecting the facility as soon as the law goes into effect to ensure the facility is in compliance,” Sharlot said Friday. Sharlot said if the clinic is found not to be in compliance, it gets 10 working days to submit a plan of corrections, outlining how it would meet the requirements of the law. The clinic’s owner, Diane Derzis, has said she will file a lawsuit if the clinic is unable to comply with the new law.
Epps against medical release for killer GREENWOOD — Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps is
indicating he won’t support the medical release of a 79-year-old man convicted of killing a Leflore County deputy. Earnest Conrod, now 79, shot and killed Melvin “Buster” Brown in 1994. The Mississippi Department of Corrections is considering a conditional medical release for Conrod. But Brown’s family objects. And Epps tells The Greenwood Commonwealth that he usually sides with the victims in such matters. Epps said Conrod is going through a process spelled out in state law when an inmate becomes bedridden. He said a doctor does an evaluation and the judge, district attorney and sheriff are consulted. The ultimate decision
lies with Epps and Department of Corrections’ medical director.
Grand Gulf says renewal on track VICKSBURG — Entergy Nuclear officials say the license renewal for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Plant in Claiborne County remains on track. Grand Gulf’s license expires in 2024, and an application to extend it an additional 20 years is expected to be finalized by September 2013. On June 8, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia threw out the so-called Waste Confidence Rule, used since 1984 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to license new reactors or relicense existing reactors.

‘Mugly’ wins World’s Ugliest Dog Associated Press
PETALUMA, Calif. — A Chinese crested’s short snout, beady eyes and white whiskers earned it the title of World’s Ugliest Dog at the annual contest in California Friday. Competing for fame,
$1,000 and a year’s worth of dog cookies, Mugly won the honor by beating out 28 other ugly dogs from around the world. The 8-year-old rescue dog from the United Kingdom will also be invited for a photo shoot and will re-
ceive a VIP stay at the local Sheraton. “I couldn’t speak when they announced Mugly’s name,” said Bev Nicholson, the dog’s owner. “I didn’t know which way to look. I was shaking as much as the dog.”

No bond for ex-principal charged in stabbings LEALMAN, Fla. — After Anthony Giancola was arrested five years ago for buying crack cocaine at the Tampa Bay-area middle school that he oversaw as principal, he told reporters that he needed to make some changes. “I need to get my life together, and then maybe from that other people will learn not to, you know, make the mistakes that I’ve made,” Giancola, who lost his job, told WFLA-TV in February 2007. Now, the 45-year-old Giancola could face the death penalty or life in prison if he is convicted of first-degree murder. A judge denied him bond Saturday, and he was being held at the Pinellas County jail. Authorities say he went on a drug- or alcohol-induced rampage on Friday, stabbing several people — killing two — before driving his car into a crowded porch and brutally attacking a couple at a motel they ran. “You’ll be very proud of me, I just killed 10 drug dealers,” Giancola told his mother afterward, according to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri. The sheriff said Giancola was bloody and “apparently high on drugs, intoxicated.” Giancola was arrested Friday afternoon. Authorities said there were 11 victims in all, and several are being treated at area hospitals for injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening. “This is the worst of the worst here, because this does appear to be a random crime at this point,” the sheriff said. Capt. Sanfield Fors-
eth of the Pinellas Park police said Friday evening that the suspect’s motive is not known, but said of the victims: “These people were not drug dealers” as far as police can tell.
Sandusky faces long road to sentencing BELLEFONTE, Pa. — A jury took less than two days to find Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse, but the judge will need substantially more time to decide his punishment. Judge John Cleland ordered a pre-sentencing report, which will take anywhere from one to two months to complete. During that time, Sandusky will be examined by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board to decide if he should be treated as a sexually violent predator, and prosecutors could ask the judge for a hearing. The judge determines whether someone is a sexually violent predator — it carries stiffer reporting and treatment requirements once someone is out of prison — and can use information from the board’s investigation in a sentencing decision. If he’s sentenced to state prison — which appears to be certain in this case — then Sandusky will be transferred to Camp Hill, in south-central Pennsylvania, which has 3,000 to 4,000 inmates, about 1,000 of whom are held temporarily for classification. New inmates are put through a battery of medical, dental, psychiatric, psychological, vocational and educational testing, according to Department of Corrections spokeswoman Sue Bensinger,
who spoke generally about a male inmate convicted in Centre County and not of Sandusky’s case in particular. He would then be placed in a state prison based on his treatment plan and the available beds. Sex offenders must undergo mandatory treatment programs, she said. A judge can request placement near an inmate’s home, but the department cannot necessarily honor those requests, she said. Age is not a factor in the placement of Sandusky, 68, but any medical conditions could be. Inmates from 18 to 79 are housed in general populations, although older inmates may be put in lower bunks and have other handicap accommodations, she said. The majority of state facilities have infirmaries.
Biden helps launch dating violence PSA WASHINGTON — The White House is issuing a public service announcement against dating violence, combining the voices of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden with those of top sports figures in a campaign to reduce assaults on women. The campaign, which was launched by Biden last year, is called “1 is 2 Many.” Last year, 1 in 10 teens was hurt by a date. In the announcement, prominent athletes urge men never to strike a woman. “Violence against women hurts all of us,” says former New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, recalling his own experience as a boy. “Growing up I was afraid and ashamed of my father when he abused my mom.”

Don’t be afraid to hire a consultant
FRI
13,000
BY MARTIN HARSHBURGER

Many business leaders are reluctant to hire a consultant when they need one. In my 15 years as a CEO, I used consultants sparingly, and usually to handle something new to the organization such as ISO9000 certification or lean manufacturing initiatives. Question: Why are businesses afraid to hire a consultant? Answer: There is a misunderstanding about the purpose, meaning and value of a consultant. 4 barriers generally keep companies from reaping the potential benefits of a consultant. Barrier #1: Outsider Threat Business leaders may see an outsider coming into the organization and making suggestions for change as a threat. They may feel, if they agree to make changes, they’re admitting what they were doing previously was wrong. A mature leader has to accept the fact that,

other organizations in their own company, citing unique qualities of the service, product, culture or other item that makes it impossible for the suggestion to work. However, one of the main benefits a consultant brings is the knowledge of best practices across all industries, many of which can be applied to organizations of varying types and sizes. Barrier #4: “We Don’t Need to Change� Sometimes, the business is only as healthy as the attitude of its leader. And, if a leader is unwilling to listen to constructive feedback, the company may be in need of a new leader in order to survive. The advantage of a seasoned consultant is the ability to ask probing and sometimes uncomfortable questions that challenge the status quo. The knowledge of what needs to be done is often there, it just has to be analyzed and validated. So, what should a consultant provide? ■Confidential and honest feedback to help rede-
fine and achieve goals ■A source of new information and ideas ■A facilitator of gathering internal and external feedback ■An unbiased viewpoint not swayed by internal politics or history ■The freedom to make decisions for yourself, given their input You can get the most out of the relationship with your consultant if you both agree on discretion, expectations and deliverables at the outset and with regularly scheduled checkpoints along the way.

sometimes, an outside perspective is needed in order to grow. A consultant is a fresh pair of eyes to look at the business without the emotion that comes with ownership. Barrier #2: Inside Expert Many business leaders feel that they know more about their business than an outsider, and they don’t need any help. A company leader usually knows more about their business than their consultant – that’s true. However, that’s not always an advantage. They disregard any advice given because the consultant doesn’t have the depth of experience in their area of expertise. However, many times, the change needed does not require industryspecific knowledge. It requires openness to new ways of doing business that allow for more productivity and increased revenues. Barrier #3: “That Won’t Work Here� Many business leaders are reluctant to apply what has worked for
JACKSON — The Mississippi Gaming Commission gave site approval last week to the proposed Biloxi Boardwalk Casino & Resort. It’s the first in a series of approvals required for the casino proposed by Louisiana businessman Chris Ferrara. Biloxi Boardwalk would be the 10th casino in Biloxi and 13th on Mississippi’s coast. It used to be a Heinz pet food factory and Ferrara bought the 37 acres and 185,000 square-foot building in 2000 after the factory closed. Ferrara, who also owns fire truck maker Ferrara Fire Apparatus in Holden, La., said he wants to renovate the building to hold a 50,000 squarefoot casino and a 100,000 square-foot convention center. “A lot of people take the building for granted,�
said Ferrara, who noted that it survived 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. “We think it’s a fortress.� Ferrara has built a marina at the site and plans to open a restaurant in September. He also said the complex would include an outdoor amphitheater and a RV park. However, he wouldn’t say whether he plans a hotel. “I don’t want to discuss all the aspects,� Ferrara said. Ferrara said that if his plans come to pass, he anticipates an investment of more than $100 million. He said he’s in talks for financing, and could be ready to return to the commission in 60 to 90 days. The site is near the recently opened Margaritaville Casino & Restaurant. The commission approved that Jimmy Buffett-backed casino, but has twice rejected plans for Harbor Town
casino in Gulfport. Investors had promised to sink $83 million into the project the second time it was rejected. Commissioners have said they approved Margaritaville because it would draw Buffett fans from outside the state, expanding Mississippi’s gambling market. Some experts have been dubious of that contention because the initial phase of the casino doesn’t include a hotel. Gaming Commission Chairman Jerry St. Pe said that for Biloxi Boardwalk, his panel would be looking at the number of jobs, amount of taxes

Bank downgrades could hurt loans, credit cards BY PALLAVI GOGOI Associated Press
NEW YORK — When a major bank's credit rating is cut, it deals a psychological blow — to customers, the public and financial markets. So Thursday's downgrading of 15 of the world's largest banks is almost sure to cause wide concern. Most deposits are perfectly safe, but the downgrades could hurt people in more subtle ways: Banks may jack up fees and might be reluctant to lend, which could affect mortgages, credit cards and even the job market. “It is normal that the first thing that people worry about is whether their money is safe,� said Jim Nadler, chief operating officer at Kroll Bond Ratings Agency. “But the real costs may be hidden.� Bank deposits up to $250,000 are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. But the downgrades come at a tenuous time for banks. An avalanche of new regulations adopted after the financial crisis has wiped out many of the fees they charged on credit cards and checking accounts. Banks are also barred from making lucrative bets in the stock and bond markets, elimi-
nating billions of dollars in trading income. So banks are now squeezing income from any place they can. Basic services that were once free now cost money. Checking accounts can cost $8, a bank statement $3, canceling a check $2.
and types of amenities it would bring. “It’s going to be looking at the size of the investment,� St. Pe said. “It’s going to be looking at the content of the investment.� St. Pe reiterated that the commission wants to approve casinos that enlarge the total casino market, not just take business from current operators. Ferrara, for his part, said he believed that Biloxi would remain attractive to gamblers from the east. “Looking at the Alabama market and looking at the Florida market, we think they’re not moving forward,� he said.

OMAHA, Neb. — Arizona came to the College World Series as one of the hottest teams in the nation and swept three straight games to reach the championship round. Yet coach Andy Lopez and his players know few outside their fan base are paying much attention to them as the best-of-three series starts Sunday. That’s because South Carolina (49-18) has completed an improbable run to the finals, where it will try to become the first team in 40 years to win a third straight title. “We’re just excited to be
invited to the Ray Tanner Invitational,” Lopez said Saturday. At that, Tanner, the Gamecocks’ 16th-year coach, playfully punched Lopez to open their pre-finals news conference. “We’ve got a pretty good team,” Tanner said, “but we’re not the ‘27 Yankees. We’ve had 28 one-run games. We know that every at-bat is crucial for us. “We’ve got the chance to play in the finals a third time in a row. It’s hard to wrap your arms around that. You just have to have some good luck and fortune along the
way, a couple clutch performances along the way.” Sophomore right-hander Konner Wade (10-3), who threw a complete-game fivehit shutout against UCLA last Sunday, will be the Game 1 starter for Arizona (46-17). Tanner was undecided on which pitcher will face an Arizona team that is fourth in the nation in batting (.330) and sixth in scoring (7.4 runs a game). “Most of the time I’ll get a guy or two that kind of gets to me and says I really want the ball,” Tanner said with a smile. “But since they’ve watched these guys hit, I’m not getting
those guys. They’re avoiding me. All the pitchers are going in a different direction.” Few would have expected the Gamecocks to even return to Omaha this year after they had to replace five regulars in the lineup from the team that beat Florida in the 2011 finals. They had to develop chemistry in an infield that had three new faces and bounce back from losses in five of their first six Southeastern Conference games. At the CWS, their streak of 22 straight wins in NCAA tournament games ended Please see TITLE | 9A

O’s release 49-year-old Moyer at his request Associated Press
BALTIMORE — The Orioles have released 49-year-old pitcher Jamie Moyer, who requested the move after the team failed to promote him from the minor leagues. Moyer started the season with Colorado, where he became the oldest pitcher to win a game in the big leagues. He was released by the Rockies after going 2-5 and signed a minor league deal with the Orioles on June 6. Moyer signed the contract with the stipulation that he make three starts with Triple-A Norfolk. After that, the team had to promote him or grant his release. Following his third start with Norfolk on Wednesday, the Orioles offered Moyer another start with the Tides. The left-hander instead opted to become a free agent. Moyer, a former Oriole, went 1-1 with a 1.69 ERA at Norfolk.

Juror: Accusers’ credibility boosted case Associated Press
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — The credibility of the accusers who testified at the trial of Jerry Sandusky solidified the case against him, a juror said Saturday, a day after the retired Penn State coach once viewed as the successor to Joe Paterno was found guilty on 45 counts of child sex abuse. “It’s hard to judge character on the stand because you don’t know these kids,” Joshua Harper told NBC’s “Today.” “But most were very credible — I would say all.” “It was very convincing,” he added. After a swift trial and less
than two days of deliberations, Sandusky was found guilty Friday. Mandatory minimums mean he will likely die in prison. Sanduksy’s own impassivity as the verdict was read was also a confirmation that the jury’s decision was the right one, Harper said. “I looked at him during the reading of the verdict and just the look on his face. No real emotion,” he said. Sandusky appeared to be accepting his fate, Harper said, “because he knew it was true.” The verdict is not the end of the scandal that took down Paterno and deeply shook
the state’s most prominent university. It will play out for years in courtrooms and through a set of ongoing investigations. But the trial did present one piece of finality: Sandusky was taken away in handcuffs to the county jail. Sentencing will be in about three months. Sandusky is one 272 inmates at the Centre County Correctional Facility and was kept under watch overnight. The jail is just seven miles from the Penn State campus. Like other inmates there, he was allowed to bring a small number of items in with him. The options include six pairs
of white underwear, white socks and white undershirts, prescription glasses or contact lenses, a wedding band, religious prayer book, no more than 10 personal photographs and 10 letters and no more than 4 inches of legal documents or materials. Sandusky will be allowed to shower daily, and can get visits from his family, friends and lawyers, too. The jail did not say whether anyone had come to see him Saturday. At his home, his wife and three of their adopted children remained inside Please see SANDUSKY | 9A
Thunder face some tough choices after loss Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — By keeping largely the same group together and building over time, the Oklahoma City Thunder climbed from the bottom of the league to the NBA Finals. They were so close to the pinnacle. Now it gets only more difficult to keep all the pieces in place to try to finish the job. The Thunder enter the
offseason with coach Scott Brooks’ contract about to expire, Sixth Man of the Year James Harden and NBA blocks leader Serge Ibaka eligible for new deals and the future of veterans Derek Fisher and Nazr Mohammed up in the air. It will be up to general manager Sam Presti to determine whether they all can still fit on a team where All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell West-
brook are already locked into expensive, long-term deals. “It’s going to be difficult decisions but we’ll see what happens,” forward Nick Collison said Saturday. “Obviously, we want everybody back. We feel like we’ve got a really good core group and we feel like we can get it done with our group, so hopefully it can happen.” Brooks’ situation is the most urgent, with his deal expiring
at the end of the month. “I’m sure in the next couple of days we will sit down and get together. Definitely, I wish I was preparing or just finishing up practice going into Game 6,” Brooks said. “You definitely need a few days just to reflect on what we’ve done this year. But the next couple of days, we plan on getting together.” Please see THUNDER | 9A

NFL rookies gather for guidance Associated Press
Troy Vincent wants to make it absolutely clear that the upcoming NFL rookie symposium is not the beginning of the players’ journey into the pros. That trip began years ago. “This is not something that starts when you become a professional,� said Vincent, the league’s vice president of player engagement and a five-time Pro Bowler. “There are elements that surround an athlete in his development, from youth sports through high school and college. It’s a lifestyle. “Parents are a key. What do they do with their youngsters who are playing sports as far as their mental health, their safety in the sport. Are we doing enough to encourage balancing their lives for those in athletics? “Parents have questions, and rightfully so. And we should answer them, dispel the myths.� The symposium helps do that. This is the 15th year the league has brought together draftees to hear speakers on such subjects as “Are You Bigger Then The Game� and “What Defines Success?� This gathering, which is a bit different because of the location in Aurora, Ohio, with a side trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in nearby Canton, begins Sunday with four days of orientation for NFC draft picks. The AFC choices attend from Wednesday through next Saturday. Scheduled to speak are several players who have experienced serious off-field issues, including Michael Vick, Adam Jones and Michael Irvin. Also on the docket are Terrell Owens, New England’s Devin McCourty, Antonio Freeman, LaVar Arrington, Aeneas Williams, Jamie Dukes, Luther Ellis and Carl Eller. Irvin and Eller are Hall of Fame members. “Each rookie should leave the symposium with the knowledge and history of where our game began, where it is today, and challenged to make a positive personal impact on the future of our game,� added Vincent, a former president of the players’ union. “The NFL and its clubs are committed to providing players with the best resources to succeed both on and off the field.� The program will includes presentations and speeches, videos and workshops focused on NFL history, experience, player expectations, and professional and social responsibility. Other topics included player health and safety, decision making and maintaining positive relationships. “Athletes are not immune to what takes place in society. They are not exempt to societal issues,� Vincent said. “We do have things in place to help deal with any issues, and we are very proactive in doing so. You have to retrain them or develop a new culture of thinking, and it starts with young men and ladies as they are maturing. This is a challenge not just as a sports organization, but as parents, as mentors and teachers. We welcome that challenge and charge as a league, and hope to become part of a greater conversation, be part of the continuing campaigns to raise awareness of these issues and problems that can come up.�

I definitely would be rooting for that because that’s an unbelievable feat,� Arizona right fielder Robert Refsnyder said. “The weird, quirky fan who wants to see Arizona win, I’ll take that fan.� The last program to show as much dominance as the Gamecocks was Southern California, which won five
straight championships from 1970-74. The difference is that the Gamecocks have had to deal with scholarship limits and bat standards that have reduced offense and created unprecedented parity in the college game. They also have had to survive the night-in, night-out battles in the SEC, the nation’s most power-
ful baseball conference. The SEC has had a team in the finals five straight years. Tanner said the Gamecocks have had sustained success because they don’t dwell on accomplishments. “You really can’t allow yourself to go there,� Tanner said. “You just try to play the next game.�
For all the roster turnover, the Gamecocks have found stability in their pitching staff. Michael Roth, a senior left-hander, has a 1.34 career ERA in the CWS. He has allowed just eight runs on 31 hits in a CWS career-record 53 2-3 innings. Seven of his nine appearances in Omaha have been starts, tied for the most ever.
little emotion as the verdict was read, giving his wife, Dottie, and family members a half-wave as the county sheriff led him away. There were only three acquittals among the charges related to 10 victims, eight of whom took the stand to describe fondling, forced oral sex and anal rape. Many of the accusers testified that they had told no one of the abuse
that dated as far back as the mid-1990s — not parents, not girlfriends and not police. The accuser known in court papers as Victim 6, whose mother alerted authorities in 1998 after Sandusky took her son into a shower, broke down in tears upon hearing the verdicts in the courtroom. Afterward, a prosecutor embraced him and said, “Did I ever lie to you?�
The man, now 25, testified that Sandusky called himself the “tickle monster� in a shower assault. He declined to comment to a reporter afterward. His mother said: “Nobody wins. We’ve all lost.� One of the three counts for which Sandusky was acquitted concerned Victim 6, an indecent assault charge. The man testified that Sandusky had given him
a bear hug in the shower but at one point he just “blacked out.� The other acquittals were an indecent assault charge related to Victim 5, who said Sandusky fondled him in the shower, and an involuntary deviate sexual intercourse charge regarding Victim 2, the boy graduate assistant Mike McQueary saw being attacked in a campus shower.
it. It’s the friendships. “I’m going to just play the year out and have fun and not worry about it. I’ll let them figure that out and discuss all that.� Harden said his immediate concern is winning a spot on the U.S. Olympic team, along with Durant and Westbrook. Ibaka could also be in the
Olympics, representing Spain. “I love it here. This team is like a family, like we’re really brothers,� Harden said. “We hang out most of the time every single day. You can’t find any other team like this. I love it here.� The Thunder have been able to keep their
youthful core together, with their best players still under their less-expensive rookie contracts. Durant got his extension two summers ago, and Westbrook signed his new deal in December. As more of the team’s nucleus gets fatter contracts, the luxury tax becomes a bigger factor.

Brooks has overseen a steady improvement since taking over early in the 2008-09 season, when Oklahoma City finished with 23 wins. After that, the Thunder lost in the first round of the playoffs the next year and then were defeated in the Western Conference finals before falling in five games in the NBA Finals this season against Miami. “Scotty is my guy for life, no matter what,� Durant said during the finals. “If he’s our coach for 10 more years or not, that’s my guy. I love him like family. He’s pushing me every single day. He demands a lot out of me and when I’m messing up, he’s going to tell me. And that’s what I need.� Harden and Ibaka still have a year left under contract but will become eligible for their first contract extension in July. If they don’t sign over the next
year, they would become restricted free agents — with the Thunder getting the chance to match any offer from another team. “This is something special here. A dynasty is being built here,� Harden said. “We’re winning, we’re having fun and we’re brothers. ... The other stuff, you can’t buy

Take steps to avoid timeshare scams BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian
Have you received an offer in the mail promising a cheap travel package for a hotel stay or a short cruise? To get the discounted package, all you have to do is attend a timeshare presentation. Once you show up to the presentation, you may get more than you bargained for: high-pressure sales tactics and scammers that don’t deliver what they promise. Vacation timeshares give you the right to use a vacation home for a limited, planned period throughout the year. Consumers are usually contacted on the phone by a telemarketer or through the mail with a postcard asking them to call a toll-
free number. Scams can occur at the front-end, when consumers are purchasing a timeshare. The salesperson might suggest that customers have to sign the papers that day or might claim to be overwhelmed with buyer requests for the same resort – all to pressure customers to make a hasty decision. Scams can also beset a consumer trying to sell a timeshare. During a bad economy when many people can no longer afford a timeshare, owners can be more vulnerable to scammers. Telemarketers call people throughout the country offering to sell or rent the owners’ timeshares in exchange for an advertising fee.

Local team wins Big Cat Quest tournament Fishing teams from Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee found themselves battling rough water and weather conditions while competing in the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest Truitt Stockton Memorial Tournament held at Pickwick Lake on June 9. For most fishermen, the fishing was every bit as difficult as having to contend with the choppy, wind-blown water. The promoter of the tournament, Ken Freeman, had previously thought it would take over 100 pounds to win the event, but due to a tough post-spawn bite along with the nasty weather, not a single competitor came close to meeting his
expectations. “Better late than never� is a phrase that rings David true in a Green lot of instances, Outdoors but not on this day. The winners of the tournament arrived at the J.P. Coleman State Park weigh-in site with a little less than two minutes to spare. Two minutes later, arriving after the 4 p.m. deadline, would have been disastrous. The Corinth team of Larry Muse, Dino Meador and Frank Meador took home the first place prize with five catfish that weighed in at 77.95
pounds. Larry also caught the big fish of the tournament with a blue catfish weighing 37.95 lbs. Upon reaching the weigh-in site, the trio expressed their gratitude to Jeff Dodd of Trenton, Tenn., a fellow competitor, for helping them make it in on time. They were fishing Alabama’s Lake Wilson and experienced a delay in locking through the dam. Larry said if Jeff hadn’t allowed them to follow directly behind the wake of his big boat, smoothing out the choppy water ahead, there’s no way he could have made the 46-mile run on time since his boat would only go about 40 miles per hour. The tournament was named in honor of the late
The Corinth team of Larry Muse, Dino Meador and Frank Meador took home the first-place prize with five catfish that weighed in at 77.95 pounds. Truitt Stockton, who was an extremely successful business owner in Corinth. Truitt was not only a success story in the business world but a devout fisherman who definitely knew how and where to catch big catfish from the waters of Pickwick.
Muse said what really got him interested in fishing for catfish in a big way was when he was eight years old and saw an unusually large catfish that Truitt had just caught. He went on to say that Truitt knew all the little tricks to catch fish of that size, and that other anglers would stop and watch to see where he was going so they’d know where to go drop a line. For Larry and his cohorts, it seems only fitting they won this tournament in honor of Truitt and the city of Corinth. Another interesting tidbit of information concerning the tournament was something said by a reporter from another newspaper. The guy echoed, “What
is it about Corinth, Miss., and catfishing? The folks who live over there must start catfishing about the time they can walk, because there are certainly plenty of excellent catfish anglers from that particular town.� Well ‌ he might have been stretching it just a little on the first part, but he correctly nailed it on the last.

Plan a trip to state-of-the-art North Mississippi Fish Hatchery BY JAMES L. CUMMINGS Conservation Corner
The North Mississippi Fish Hatchery located in Enid is a $13 million state-of-the-art facility that benefits an estimated 750,000 Mississippi fishermen. The hatchery was constructed to provide a number of fish species, which are raised from eggs to sizes specified as suitable for stocking the state’s lakes and waterways. The Visitor Education Center at the Hatchery is the first and only facility of its kind in Mississippi. The center gives visitors an in-depth look at fish production as well as
Among the species the hatchery produces are Magnolia crappie, Gulf Coast walleye, paddlefish, Florida and northern strain largemouth bass, triploid grass carp, bluegill, and redear. the progression of fishing through the ages. The complex is located on 58 acres and is less than a quarter mile from Interstate 55. The facility, which is operated by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, is easily accessible to Mississippi residents and out-of-state visitors. The hatchery and center are located below Enid Dam in Yalobusha Coun-
ty at Exit 233 on Interstate 55. On the Hatchery side, there are 1-acre ponds, a 9,500-square-foot building, two 80-foot concrete raceways and a water supply pond. The fish are hatched in a lab, kept for about a week and then moved to rearing ponds. The survival rate of newly hatched fish to fingerling size is close to 28 percent in the safety of the Hatch-
ery tanks and ponds, as compare to less than 1 percent in the wild. Among the species the hatchery produces are Magnolia crappie, Gulf Coast walleye, paddlefish, Florida and northern strain largemouth bass, triploid grass carp, bluegill, and redear. Water to the hatchery is supplied by two ground-water wells and a pipeline from Enid Lake. The center provides an educational and entertaining experience that promotes freshwater sport fishing, encourages the conservation and stewardship of aquatic resources and offers information about the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fish-
eries, and Parks. It features a native habitat area, 10,000-gallon aquarium, interactive exhibits, displays, artifacts, fishing rodeo pond and an art gallery celebrating Mississippi’s natural resources. The center also houses a 75-person capacity conference room that can be rented out for business meetings and other gatherings. All of these elements serve as entertaining and engaging learning experiences for all visitors, especially children. This is a great place for people of all ages to have a better understanding of nature. The North Mississippi Fish Hatchery and Visitor
Education Center are serving dual missions of conservation and education. They offer a myriad of programs and workshops for the public. Please call (662) 563-8068 regarding hours of operation, scheduled events and programs, admission rates and rental fees. This major tourism stop is sitting in our own backyard. Plan a trip today!

Union officer earns Medal of Honor BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
The 43rd Ohio Infantry was in trouble. It was 10 o’clock in the morning, October 4, 1862 and the Confederate army was advancing. The problem was the 43rd was facing in the wrong direction. These men, under the command of Col. Joseph L. Kirby Smith, were strung out in line of battle between Battery Robinett and Battery Williams which meant they were looking toward the west. The attackers, men of Alabama and Texas, were coming at them from the north. If they stayed where they were they would be flanked and the regiment likely annihilated. To save his regiment, Smith ordered a right wheel. What’s a right wheel? Smith had the right of his regiment hold its position against Battery Robinett, while the rest of the men pivoted like the closing of a door. Smith was a talented young officer, a West Pointer from the Class of 1857, who was only a few months past his 26th birthday. His men were just completing the movement when a bullet crashed into the young officers’ head, knocking him from his horse. He wasn’t dead, but the regiment thought he was and the men began to waver. He was a very popular officer and to be shot down at the moment of crisis nearly brought on a panic. Disaster was averted by the actions of the next ranking officer in the 43rd Ohio, Lt. Col. Wa-
Col. Wager Swayne was promoted to brigadier general before the end of the Civil War.
Medal of Honor given to Col. Wager Swayne for his leadership and actions during the Battle of Corinth. ger Swayne. Two years older than Smith, Swayne was no professional soldier. He was a Yale man, a lawyer, with no military experience prior to the war, but he proved a quick study. The men liked Smith, but they loved Swayne, and it was this devotion that saved the day at Corinth. In a flash, Swayne was among his men, calling them by name back into line, inspiring them to meet the charge of the 42nd Alabama. He was
joined by the division commander, Brigadier General David Stanley, but it was Swayne who held the line together. Three times the Confederates charged and the 43rd Ohio took heavy casualties. During the final charge, some of the Southerners got into and around the far side of Battery Robinett and began firing their rifles into the backs of Swayne’s men. Once again tragedy was averted by changing their position.
Now let’s get this understood, changing a position while under fire is not only dangerous, it is very tricky to pull off. Just try and get 500 men to march in a straight line and you’ll see what I mean. Add in smoke, noise, cannonballs, bullets and a complicated maneuver and the task becomes darn near impossible. Swayne ordered his men to side step to the left and then, with the left end of the line standing firm, pivoted in a clockwise motion. This means the men had to step backward while still fighting men in front of them. The new position allowed Swayne’s men to fire at the Confederates who had been behind them and helped drive the attackers away from Robinett. The third Confederate charge had almost broken
the Union line, but it too failed. As the Southerners were falling back to the shelter of the trees, Swayne ordered his men to charge and sweep them from the field. Bayonets were fitted on to the ends of muskets and the regiment rushed forward, across the field strewn with the dead and wounded bodies of the men from Alabama. The Buckeyes of Ohio had to slow down as they passed through the abatis, the layer of fallen trees in front of Robinett which had been placed there to slow the Confederate advance. By the time they had cleared the obstruction and made it to the tree line, the Confederates were gone. The Battle of Corinth was over. The 43rd Ohio’s loss was 16 killed and 74 wounded. The total in-
creased to 17 dead a few days later when Col. Smith succumbed to his terrible head wound. The war went on for Col. Swayne. The 43rd served as garrison troops in Tennessee for a year and then joined Gen. Sherman’s army group for the campaign to take Atlanta. They fought at Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain and in the outskirts of Atlanta itself. On Feb. 22, 1865, Swayne was hit in the right leg by a fragment of an artillery shell and his leg was amputated. He recovered, stayed in the army and was promoted to brigadier general. At the close of the war he was appointed to serve as commissioner of the new Freedman’s Bureau in Alabama and helped establish schools in Selma, Montgomery and Mobile. He left the army in 1870 and resumed his law career, hanging his shingle in Toledo and later in New York City. In August 1893, an aging Wager Swayne was presented the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award presented by the Congress of the United States. The citation for the award read simply: “Conspicuous gallantry in restoring order at a critical moment and leading his regiment in a charge.” Just 16 words to describe one of the defining moments of his life, but those few words were enough. America had not forgotten what a young Lt. Col. Swayne had done on the west side of Corinth 31 years before.

US hotels welcoming Chinese BY MEGHAN BARR Associated Press
NEW YORK — Major hotel brands are bending over backward to cater to the needs of the world’s most sought-after traveler: the Chinese tourist. Now arriving on American shores in unprecedented numbers thanks to a streamlined visa process and a rising Chinese middle class, Chinese tourists are being treated to the comforts of home when they check in at the front desk. That means hot tea in their rooms, congee for breakfast and Mandarin-speaking hotel employees at their disposal. Chinese “welcome programs” at reputable chains like Marriott and Hilton even address delicate cultural differences: No Chinese tour group should be placed on a floor containing the number four, which sounds like the word for death in Mandarin. “They’re very relieved, like finally somebody’s doing these things that make sense,” said Robert Armstrong, a sales manager who handles all bookings for incoming Chinese travelers at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. “Finally somebody’s catering to them.” More than a million Chinese visited the U.S. in 2011, contributing more than $5.7 billion to
“Everybody’s going after this market because of the sheer volume of luxury customers. At the same time, it’s a very crowded landscape.” Clayton Ruebensaal Vice president of marketing, Ritz-Carlton the U.S. economy. That’s up 36 percent from 2010, according to the Department of Commerce. By 2016, that figure is expected to reach 2.6 million Chinese. In a striking departure from the traditional Chinese business traveler, a growing number of them are simply coming to America for fun — with lots of cash on hand. (The average Chinese visitor spends more than $6,000 per trip.) And so hotels are openly competing to win the hearts of the Chinese, who generally travel in large groups and stick to a tight itinerary, often packing multiple cities into a two-week American tour. What they’re
looking for is a hotel that makes them feel at ease with their surroundings, said Roy Graff, a travel consultant who educates hotels in proper Chinese culture and hospitality. That may take the form of slippers and a tea kettle in the hotel room or a Mandarin-speaking employee at the front desk — or all of the above. “They drink tea. Eastern style, everything cold,” explained Charlie Shao, president of Galaxy Tours, a New York City-based Chinese tour agency, who used to frequently request special amenities for his clients. “They don’t walk inside the room with bare feet.” It’s rare that Shao has to ask hotels for anything anymore. Marriott International, for example, now offers not one but several Chinese breakfasts, depending upon which region of China the traveler hails from: there are salted duck eggs and pickled vegetables for eastern Chinese, for example, and dim sum and sliced pig’s liver for the southerners. Major chains are also training employees to avoid cultural missteps that would offend a Chinese visitor. Superstition is a big one: Red is considered a lucky color, along with the number eight, which signifies wealth. The color white,
meanwhile, is frowned upon, not to mention the cursed number four. Failing to respect the pecking order in a Chinese group is another common blunder by hotels that have limited knowledge of Chinese culture. “We try to make sure nobody’s on a higher floor than their boss,” Armstrong said. “Even if the boss is on a beautiful suite on the eighth floor, if the assistant is in a standard room on the 38th floor, it doesn’t translate.” As hotels fine-tune Chinese outreach stateside, the race is on to build loyalty within China’s borders. Last year, Starwood Hotels relocated its entire senior leadership team to China for a month. The Ritz-Carlton rotates general managers and other hotel staff into its Chinese hotels for three-year stints at a time. “It’s important for our leaders to understand what’s going on there at a more personal level than just the statistics,” said Clayton Ruebensaal, vice president of marketing for the Ritz. “Everybody’s going after this market because of the sheer volume of luxury customers. At the same time, it’s a very crowded landscape.”

PUBLIC NOTICE If you are a Corinth Gas customer, or a non-customer but live near a natural gas line, you may receive a random computerized telephone call during the first two weeks of July where the person answering the phone is asked a series of questions concerning natural gas safety. If no answer is received from your residence on the first call a follow-up call will be made. Results from this survey will be used by Corinth Gas & Water Department to make sure we are doing our job to provide you with as much natural gas safety information as possible. The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete and we appreciate your participation. New regulations from the federal Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) require gas utilities to develop and follow public awareness plans regarding safety and the safe use of natural gas. One of the requirements of the plan is that each utility must periodically assess the effectiveness of their efforts to inform customers, and noncustomers living near gas lines, about safety and the safe use of natural gas. More information about natural gas is available on our website at www.corinthgasandwater.com.

July 4th hostess thinks some guests have fizzled DEAR ABBY: I have set the guest list for my Fourth of July party. A few people I entertained last year will not be invited back this summer. Perhaps they’ll recognize themselves when they read the following list: (1) You arrived emptyhanded. (2) You arrived early and stayed late. (3) You never reciprocated. It’s OK if you don’t entertain in your home, but how about a restaurant, bar or cafe? (4) You complained about what I served. (5) You solicited free advice from other guests who are legal or medical professionals. No guest in my home should have to
work. (If you need a doctor or a lawyer, call their office during the Abigail week to Van Buren make an appointDear Abby ment!) (6) You raided our liquor cabinet without permission. (7) You complained about how bad the traffic was getting here. Abby, thanks for the forum. -- SAN FRANCISCO HOSTESS DEAR HOSTESS: Hmmm. So you have been entertaining a collection of complaining moochers. I don’t blame
you for paring down your guest list. I’m sure it will make your Fourth of July parties more enjoyable and less stressful in the future. DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law, “Lisa,” is 50 and married to husband No. 5. I’ll call him “Steve.” He is 38. (Lisa’s son is 31.) The problem isn’t the age difference. It’s the fact that her husband refuses to hold a steady job. Steve is often “between jobs” for six to eight months at a crack. Lisa had a job with the same company for 28 years and has a very nice income. My husband and I are sick of seeing Steve mooching off his mom. He drives around in a new
truck, dresses well, has a nice place to live and anything else he wants -- all at my mother-in-law’s expense. Abby, she retired recently, and Steve is spending her retirement money faster than it’s coming in. What can we do to get rid of this bum? -- BUMMED OUT IN GEORGIA DEAR BUMMED OUT: There is nothing you can do. After five husbands, Lisa knows what she wants. She wants a companion and is willing to pay the price. It’s her money, and she has a right to spend it any way she wishes. I’m sorry, but not as sorry as she will be when her money runs out and Steve latches onto an-
other meal ticket. DEAR ABBY: My parents will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary this summer. I know this is a huge deal for them, and I’d like to do something really nice. I have been considering throwing them a party because they were never able to have a real wedding reception. It would probably include a guest list of about 150. However, because I am a fulltime college student, my funds are limited. I want to do something my parents will like, but I don’t know how I’ll pay for it. What could I do that will be nice, but not require me to take out a loan? -- AMY IN TEN-
NESSEE DEAR AMY: Under no circumstances should you take out a loan in order to give your parents an anniversary party you can’t afford. Figure out how many people you can afford to entertain within your budget -- or just take your parents out for a nice dinner. I am positive that whatever you do for them they will deeply appreciate.

Today in history Today is Sunday, June 24, the 176th day of 2012. There are 190 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History On June 24, 1982, a British Airways Boeing 747 with 262 people aboard experienced the failure of all four engines at an altitude of 37,000 feet while passing through volcanic ash generated by Mount Galunggung in Indonesia. (By the time the crew was able to restart the engines, the jumbo jet had glided down to 12,000 feet before making a safe emergency landing in Jakarta.)
On this date In 1314, the forces of Scotland’s King Robert I defeated the English in the Battle of Bannockburn. In 1509, Henry VIII was crowned king of England; his wife, Catherine of Aragon, was crowned queen consort. In 1793, the first republican constitution in France was adopted. In 1807, a grand jury in Richmond, Va., indicted former Vice President Aaron Burr on charges of treason and high misdemeanor (he was later acquitted). In 1908, the 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States, Grover Cleveland, died in Princeton, N.J., at age 71. In 1940, France signed an armistice with Italy during World War II. In 1948, Communist forces cut off all land and water routes between West Germany and West Berlin, prompting the western allies to organize the Berlin Airlift. The Republican National Convention, meeting in Philadelphia, nominated New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president. In 1968, “Resurrection City,” a shantytown constructed as part of the Poor People’s March on Washington D.C., was closed down by authorities. In 1975, 113 people were killed when an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 crashed while attempting to land during a thunderstorm at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger — carrying America’s first woman in space, Sally K. Ride — coasted to a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1987, comedian-actor Jackie Gleason died at his home in Lauderhill, Fla., at age 71. In 1992, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, strengthened its 30-year ban on officially sponsored worship in public schools, prohibiting prayer as a part of gradu-
ation ceremonies. Ten years ago President George W. Bush urged the Palestinians to replace Yasser Arafat with leaders “not compromised by terror” and adopt democratic reforms that could produce an independent state within three years. The Supreme Court ruled that juries, not judges, must decide whether a convicted killer lives or dies. A train crash in central Tanzania killed at least 288 people. Five years ago: Ali Hassan al-Majid, Saddam Hussein’s cousin known as “Chemical Ali,” and two other ex-officials were sentenced by the Iraqi High Tribunal to hang for slaughtering up to 180,000 Kurdish men, women and children two decades earlier. Charles W. Lindberg, one of the U.S. Marines who raised the first of two American flags over Iwo Jima during World War II, died in Edina, Minn., at age 86.
One year ago A defiant U.S. House voted overwhelmingly to deny President Barack Obama the authority to wage war against Libya, but Republicans fell short in an effort to actually cut off funds for the operation. New York State legalized same-sex marriage. A truck-tractor hauling two side-dump trailers ran into a 12car Amtrak passenger train at a crossing in the Nevada desert, killing six people, including the truck driver.
Kossuth FFA winning teams include: (front row) John Andrews, Brittany Killough, Kelsey Wills, Billy Armenta, Sayde Turner, Claire Cornelius and Ty Dickson; and (back row) Brad Gillmore, Cullen Irvin, Lee Hopson, Keri Crum, Katie Wilbanks, Kyle Mitchell, Will Downs, Trey Rogers, Brandon Beckham and Jared Beasley.
FFA judging teams make it look easy Special to the Daily Corinthian
Recently, Mississippi State University hosted 16 different FFA State Career Development Events. Kossuth FFA teams represented themselves quite well, with the chapter entering four teams with three of them placing in the top three in their contest. The dairy judging team placed classes of cows and heifers; linear evaluated dairy cows, took a written test, and presented two sets of oral reasons. The team of Will Downs, Lee Hopson, Brittany Killough, and Trey Rogers moved up one spot from last year
and were crowned state champions. Trey Rogers was the high individual in the contest. The team has earned the right to represent Mississippi at the National FFA Dairy Contest and Convention this October in Indianapolis, Ind. The chapter fielded a meats judging team for the first time, with Keri Crum, Cullen Irvin, Sayde Turner, Katie Wilbanks competing. The contestants identified retail cuts of meat, placed classes of pork chops, T-bone steaks, and beef carcasses, and answered questions about placings in the classes. In addi-

Thought for Today “If you have it and you know you have it, then you have it. If you have it and don’t know you have it, you don’t have it. If you don’t have it but you think you have it, then you have it.” — Jackie Gleason (1916-1987).
tion, the contest included quality and yield grading beef carcasses and taking a written test. The team placed second at the state contest, which is impressive the first time out. The horse judging contest consisted of judging mares and geldings at halter, and while performing in Western pleasure and hunter under saddle. The team members completed a team activity and two sets of oral reasons individually. Team members Billy Armenta, Claire Cornelius and Kelsey Wills placed third overall; a fantastic accomplishment for their first time.
The livestock team of John Andrews, Brandon Beckham, Ty Dickson, and Kyle Mitchell placed classes of meat goats, breeding cattle, and market and breeding swine, along with a written test and two sets of oral reasons. While the team did not place in the top three in the state, team members agreed that they learned a lot in the process and look forward to competing and placing next year. The team members were coached byJared Beasley, student intern, and Brad Gillmore, vocational agriculture instructor and FFA advisor.
TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) No. 306 recently held its open house. In conjunction with the open house, recognition awards were given and 2012-13 officers were installed.

Who’s landing the big interviews after Oprah? BY DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer
NEW YORK — Since Oprah Winfrey packed up the couch that Tom Cruise jumped on and ended her daytime talk show last year, no one has truly filled her role as the top go-to person in television for major celebrity and news interviews. Now someone is trying to claim that spot — and would you believe it’s Oprah again? Faced with the potential failure of her moneypit cable network OWN, Winfrey is working the phones hard to secure big-name interviews for her show, “Oprah’s Next Chapter.” Back-to-back episodes last Sunday featured the Kardashian family and rapper 50 Cent, and the Kardashians will be back this weekend. Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris and the late Whitney Houston’s family made news with their interviews in
recent weeks. The open question is whether she can have the same cultural impact on a smaller stage. Winfrey’s daytime talk show was generally seen by around 6 million people in her final years; “Oprah’s Next Chapter” with the Kardashians was seen by 1.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings. “I am sure that people have a conversation about that when they are exploring their options,” said Sheri Salata, OWN president. “The one constant we have ... is that you have the opportunity to sit down with Oprah.” Winfrey’s daytime show wasn’t all about interviews, of course. But in her last few seasons, she sat down for conversations with the likes of Tina Fey, Elizabeth Edwards, Michelle Obama, Madonna, Denzel Washington, Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Branson and Beyonce. The audience was pri-
marily women but, as Cruise proved with his declarations of love for Katie Holmes in 2005, the cultural impact could spread. “Doing an interview on one of those shows was like Johnny Carson asking you to come sit with him after you’ve done your stand-up,” said Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. “If there was any equivalent to playing the Palace at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, being on ‘Oprah’ might have been it.” While Thompson said that “half the people can’t find OWN on their cable television,” that may underestimate Winfrey. The “Oprah’s Next Chapter” episode with Houston’s family in March premiered to 3.5 million people, Nielsen said. Many others heard about it or saw clips.
Winfrey’s presence in daytime was a mixed blessing for veteran Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman. Most of his clients wanted to be on “Oprah” and were convinced they had a story she wanted to hear. When they did, it was great. When they didn’t, not so great. “It was a ton of pressure,” he said, “and there’s a part of me that is happy the pressure has lifted.” Ellen DeGeneres is probably the leading personality in daytime now, but her show is about entertainment. Dr. Phil and Anderson Cooper get some interviews, as does “The View” and “The Talk.” None has the impact that Winfrey had on a consistent basis, said Bill Carroll, an expert in the syndication market for Katz Media. Also missing from the scene is CNN’s Larry King, who didn’t have the
same juice as Winfrey but had a friendly reputation that made him a popular stop for people with hard stories to tell. King’s replacement, Piers Morgan, is not as established and is dragged down by CNN’s ratings problems. Katie Couric, whose daytime talk show starts in the fall, could be Winfrey’s true heir as an interviewer in daytime. Her lengthy tenure at NBC’s “Today” show makes her able to deftly switch from world leaders to actors to quirky celebrities enjoying 15 minutes of fame. “Not many people can do that,” Bragman said. First things first, however. Couric needs to build a show and prove that people want to watch her. Establishing booking superiority before Couric starts could benefit Winfrey. While “Today” and CBS’ “60 Minutes” are able to land strong interviews, no television organization has been as aggressive as
ABC News in seeking the big “gets.” ABC usually gives its interviews wide exposure, on shows like “Good Morning America,” ‘’World News” and “Nightline,” and will often give interview subjects an hour in prime-time. ABC News’ content sharing deal with Yahoo! also guarantees a wide web presence for the stories. While ABC is doing well now, Bragman said not to underestimate NBC and the competition between the two. “They are both working very hard now,” he said. So is Winfrey, Salata said. “If somebody has a rough story and wants to be more than a movie star or more than a pop singer, they know they’re going to get that opportunity with Oprah,” she said. “That is a huge advantage. That really does keep us in the game with all the big interviews.”
In honor of Pixar’s new film ‘Brave,’ 5 great movie redheads BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic
LOS ANGELES — “Brave” came out this week, Pixar’s first feature with a strong female character at its center. Among its more appealing visual elements is the wild mane of long, red curls on the head of Scottish princess Merida. So that got me thinking about other famous movie redheads. There are so many to choose from but I only get to pick five. Sorry, Carrot Top. ■ Katharine Hepburn: The classic redhead, even though it may not have been obvious in her early,
black-and-white movies. Hepburn’s hair — along with those sharp cheekbones, bright eyes and tall, athletic frame — gave her an aura of patrician bearing and strength. In color films, the red locks magnified her fiery persona, contributed to the sense that she was not a woman to be trifled with. . ■ Nicole Kidman: We see her as a blonde sometimes: on the red carpet for the Oscars, for example, or in her upcoming movie “The Paperboy,” for which she bleached her locks platinum. She switched to a mediumbrown shade for the bi-
opic “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus.” But for the most part, Kidman’s raven hair is a key component of her signature, statuesque look. In early films like “Dead Calm” and “Days of Thunder,” the prodigious nature of her red curls signaled the presence of someone fierce and formidable. But she’s also smoothed them out and tamed them to a softer strawberry shade for movies including “To Die For.” ■ Emma Stone: A redhead on the rise. Yes, she’s back to her natural blonde hair for her latest
Horoscopes Sunday, Sunday 24, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
The square of Uranus and Pluto is a backdrop to the drama on center stage, not the action itself. Like any excellent backdrop, it’s lit to give emotional cues to the audience. For instance, red lighting feels hostile, while blue is calming — this squared aspect is something in between, like a sunset. A new feeling is coming. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you started out doing what you do to impress people, but you no longer care about that. You’re much more interested in mastering the skill for your own private reasons, which no one else possibly could understand. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not very analytical these days and will instead drift where your inner compass guides you. By doing the thing that makes you happy, you put a smile on someone else’s face, too. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your faith is strong now, and you can help others by simply believing when they don’t. You have hope for those who don’t feel hopeful. People you don’t even know will feel your optimism. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll care for others all day long. By late afternoon, your energy may be depleted, so don’t push it. Resting is not the same as doing nothing. Resting is a productive part of your work cycle. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People do not set out to disappoint you, but sometimes their self-interest is diametrically opposed to your own. It’s best to seek help only from those who will be helped by helping you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
contribution to a group dynamic will determine the effectiveness of the group. When things aren’t going the way you’d like, offer something different, and the dynamic will change. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your respectful treatment of others doesn’t always come in a quiet, tolerant package. Sometimes you respect others enough to let them see the emotional impact their actions have on you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be many available options in which you could invest your time. It doesn’t matter what you do; what matters is that you enjoy it enough to expend the time and energy it takes to excel at it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your project is coming along nicely, but there’s still something missing: that personal touch that only you can give. Experiment with the purpose of creating something unique. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re too busy dreaming up ways to over-deliver on your promises to worry about merely keeping up with them. The sad truth is that no one notices “good.” That’s why you’re going for greatness today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some people actually avoid introductions, afraid of the judgment that might come with human contact. With this in mind, you’ll be sensitive to the vulnerability of others as you try to meet everyone you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Before you speak, there’s an inner filter working overtime, asking you whether what you’re about to say is necessary, supportive and truthful. It has to pass all three tests before you’ll give it up.
Cryptoquip
role as Gwen Stacy in “The Amazing Spider-Man.” But in the movies that put her on the map — “Superbad,” “Zombieland” and especially “Easy A,” — her red hair adds to her sly, subversive allure. More mature roles came along last year in two big movies: “The Help” and “Crazy Stupid Love.” Her entire vibe suggests that she’d just be a cool chick to hang out with, and a lot of that has to do with the intriguing contrast of her dark red hair and bright green eyes. ■ Woody Allen: They can’t all be women, right? He’s 76 now and the years
have understandably grayed him, as evidenced this week in his latest movie, “To Rome With Love.” But in his earliest films, like 1971’s “Bananas” and 1977’s “Annie Hall,” the shaggy red hair combined with the eyeglasses, the demeanor and the delivery to create his trademark, neurotic persona. While red hair can seem so exciting on women, Allen’s contributed to the sensation that he was an underdog, someone you always want to root for. ■ Jessica Rabbit: OK, this is a bit of a cheat. So maybe she’s not a “real”
person (although she’s inspired countless naughty Halloween costumes). But I have to admit then when I started pondering the notion of movie redheads, this cartoon character’s name is the first one that popped into my head. The femme fatale from Robert Zemeckis’ “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” a groundbreaking mix of live-action and animation, simply oozes sex appeal, especially as voiced by Kathleen Turner. Crucial to her look is her long mane of wavy, red tresses, which cascade down all the right places on her curvy frame.
