Kevin “LA Beast” Strahle puts down one of his 18 slugburgers he ate during the World Slugburger Eating contest on Saturday.

‘Megatoad’ downs 30 in 10 minutes

BY STEVE BEAVERS The Megatoad knows how to eat.

Matt “Megatoad” Stonie of San Jose, Calif., downed 30 slugburgers in 10 minutes to become the first World Slugburger Eating champion during the 25th Annual Slugburger Festival on Saturday.

The 20 year-old ate his way past seven other competitors, including three-time local

slugburger champion Jeremy “Slug” Smith.

“It was rough like all the contests are,” said Stonie, who won $1,500 along with the title. “It was a great event with a great sponsor and hopefully it will become a bigger event in the future.”

Smith, in his first try against the big eaters of Major League Eating (MLE), put down nine of the burgers that included the usual additions of pickle,

“It was amazing to compete against the professionals,” said the former champion. “You can see why they are pros ... all of them are really super guys.”

Other than “needing to lay down,” Smith said he was fine following his first MLE event.

Task force targets dropout prevention

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Helping insure fewer children fall through the gaps and fail to finish high school is the focus of the Alcorn County Dropout Prevention Task Force.

The task force is one of several subgroups created by the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County, a communitybased effort begun two years ago with the goal of strengthening the community and improving the prospects for longterm growth and success. The Commission was patterned on the regional Commission on the Future of Northeast Mississippi formed by the Tupelobased CREATE Foundation in 1995.

Tammie Ray, an educator and member of the Dropout Prevention Task Force, said their goal is to bring people from throughout the community together to better understand why students drop out of school and get everyone in the community involved in addressing those issues.

“We want to have a whatever it takes attitude toward dropout prevention,” said Ray.

The first step in the effort has been the process of collecting data on students who dropout and are at risk for dropping out. They’ve also met with educators and individuals in the community who work with at-risk students to help better understand the factors that lead to students leaving school early.

Members of the task force include a cross-section of leaders in the community from both local school districts, nonprofit and community-based organizations who serve young people and students, business leaders and others. The chair of the task force is local BancorpSouth president Terry Cartwright.

Ray said the broad range of people involved with the task force provides a variety of perspectives and unique talents and resources. By bringing together educators, community leaders, business people and others they can share their experiences and the resources they have available to help address the dropout issue.

Tishomingo woman faces murder charge

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

IUKA — The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department has arrested three people in connection with a fatal shooting on Thursday night, including one person charged with murder.

Cristi Knight, 43, of Tishomingo, has been charged with murder in the shooting of 28 year-old Kevin Douglas Long Jr., of Blue Springs.

Knight’s boyfriend, Shad Reed, 38, of Seattle, and Knight’s daughter, Stephanie Truelock, 20, of Tishomingo, face lesser charges. According to sheriff

Glenn Whitlock, Knight used a handgun to kill Long, who was her daughter’s boyfriend, during an argument while the four were drinking at Knight’s trailer on Hill Drive.

Reed was arrested for failure to comply because he attempted to leave the scene and wouldn’t stop for officers.

Truelock faces child neglect charges after leaving her 1 yearold daughter alone at a home next door.

Long died around 9:20 p.m. following the shooting that took place on County Road 116, just west of Tishomingo.

MRHC CEO reflects Church offers free yard sale in August on health care changes

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Magnolia Regional Health Center CEO Rick Napper spoke to a meeting of the Alcorn County Republicans on Thursday about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — popularly known as “Obamacare” — and what effects it will have on hospitals and their patients.

“The problem with what they’re doing in D.C. — and I’m not being a smart-aleck — is the average person doesn’t understand it,” said the hospital leader.

With 7,700 changes occurring over the next 16 months, Napper said, hospitals across the country are struggling to understand all the changes inaugurated by the act. Mag-

nolia Hospital alone has hired 43 new employees to keep up with the ongoing changes in health care.

The new regulations are also causing problems with budgeting. Napper is currently working on MRHC’s budget, but he doesn’t know how much to charge for procedures or how many doctors will be leaving due to the bill.

Not only confusing, the bill is dangerous, according to Napper.

“Health care reform is the most dangerous legislation ever passed in the United States,” he said to a group of approximately 50 Republicans in their regular meeting at the Corinth Library.

Kossuth United Methodist Church hopes to convey the message with a free yard sale.

The church is sponsoring the event as an extension of its Forever, Unending, Eternal, Love (FUEL) after school program. New school supplies along with new and gently used clothing will be available to the public. Non-perishable food will also be awarded.

Each one taking part will be given vouchers to accommodate the needs of the family according to the number of family members.

“In these hard economic times, we all need help some time,” said church pastor Kenny McGill. “We are stepping out on faith to ease the financial burdens of families.”

all approach to helping those at-risk for dropping out because a variety of factors may play a role in placing the student in that situation.

Ray, who serves as director of mentoring for the Alcorn School District, said some students consider dropping out because of academic issues such as learning disabilities and other problems that affect their ability to learn well and keep up with the material. When those issues are identified early educators can take steps to help the student overcome those obstacles.

Often social issues are a key factor in the decision

to dropout. Students may be dealing with bullying, low self-esteem or other issues in their personal lives. There may also be problems at home such as alcoholism or abuse.

Drug or alcohol use by the student may also be a factor.

She said the breakdown of the family unit is also often a factor in putting students at risk of dropping out. Many students lack strong adult role models in their lives to show them how to grow into responsible adults, making it hard for them to know how to do the things they need to do to be successful.

A common thread in addressing all of these issues, said Ray, is the

importance of getting to know the at-risk students as individuals and finding ways to understand their unique situation and how it can be addressed.

This is where a key aspect of the dropout prevention task force’s efforts - mentoring - comes into play. Ray said mentoring programs in both districts are designed to bring students together with adults in the community to build relationships that can help turn lives around.

“It can make a difference in these lives,” she said.

The goal of mentoring programs is to give adults one-on-one time with students so they can get to know each other

as people. As the mentor begins to understand the student’s unique academic and personal needs they can see ways to encourage the student and help address some of the issues they may be dealing with that could put them at risk of dropping out.

More adult mentors are needed and they are asking anyone in the community interested in working with students in this way to get involved in helping them make a difference.

They are also developing youth mentors from groups at the upper high school levels who will be able to work with younger students to help encourage them to succeed.

Ray said they also want to work closely with community organizations such as the Lighthouse Foundation, the Boys and Girls Club, Project Attention and others who have already seen success in encouraging young people and improving their opportunities for success.

She said the task force wants to be the leader in the community in bringing everyone together and addressing these issues to create better opportunities for students and reduce the risk of dropouts. She said everyone in the community benefits when more students are educated and fewer drop out of school early.

Magnolia Hospital CEO Rick Napper joins Mike Stewart, chairman of the Alcorn County Republicans, at the group’s meeting on Thursday.

NAPPER CONTINUED FROM 1A

Napper discussed the rumors regarding “death panels” in the new legislation. Instead, Napper said, the equivalent of the death panels is in the details, the way the new health care system will make patients wait longer for treatment, the way it will control treatments patients receive and from the exodus of doctors after the implementation of the bill.

“If President Obama wins the election, you will see a massive re-

tirement of physicians,” Napper predicted.

“They’re not really talking about it now. They don’t want to scare their patients.”

While there are good parts to the legislation, Napper said, much of the problem comes from trying to accomplish too much at one time.

“I’ll be the first one to tell you, I don’t know how to fix health care,” he said. “If you try to fix health care as one big bundle — you can’t do it. It took us since 1966 to screw it up, and now

we’re trying to fix it in three years.”

Perhaps most disturbing result of the new system will be the resulting loss of health care jobs. During the recession, jobs in the health care sector continued to grow. With 14 million people in America now employed in health care, it is a significant portion of the nation’s economy.

While traveling around the country attending conferences about health care reform, Napper repeatedly heard experts predict that between 10

and 16 percent of health care jobs will be cut as a result of Obamacare.

“That’s 760,000 of the highest paid jobs in America,” Napper said.

“That is devastating to our economy.”

What is the hospital CEO’s best advice for people concerned with the changes in health care?

“I wouldn’t believe anything said on TV. I’d fact-check everything that’s said. Go to the documents — not the Republican’s or Democrat’s websites,” said Napper.

Canadian cyclist comes to Corinth

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Chris Greig believes in looking at the positives.

The 25 year-old Canadian is nearing the end of a 5,000-mile bicycle ride where he has shared uplifting stories about each stop along the route.

Greig, aiming to set a solo and unsupported ride record, is expected to conclude his 30-day ride from Fairbanks, Alaska to Miami, Florida

on July 21. The cyclist will be making a stop in Corinth on Monday as he enters the home stretch of his journey.

“We are looking forward to it,” said Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Kristy White. “It takes a special kind of person to do what he is doing.”

Corinth is stop 25 on his 30 stop ride. Greig has shared a good news story from each community along the route.

“I want to remind people of the positive things happening in the world and inspire others to dream big and make a difference in whatever they can,” he said in a statement prior to beginning the journey.

A group to welcome the cyclist will gather in front of Borroum’s Drug Store on Monday. He will be presented a 25th Slugburger Festival Tshirt and fed a traditional slugburger. Greig’s

arrival is expected sometimes Monday but no specific time is known.

Greig has covered 150 miles per day and averages 10 hours on the bike a day. He sleeps around 4-5 hours a night with his latest stop being Jonesboro, Ark. on Saturday.

Following his stop in Corinth, Greig will pedal off to Birmingham, Ala. with three more stops planned before arriving in Miami.

Our View

Excel By 5 deserves everyone’s support Our children are our future.

And should the next generation be better prepared to begin school, our children will remain in school, eventually graduate and become part of a better workforce.

For those reasons, the entire community should get behind the effort to adopt the Excel By 5 program which works to improve efforts in early childhood education in Corinth and Alcorn County.

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.

By adopting the Excel By 5 program, it shows a commitment by city and county businesses, city and county government and civic leaders to better prepare our children from ages birth to five.

The local Excel By 5 accreditation will demonstrate to business and individuals who are looking to invest in the area that Corinth and Alcorn County has invested in the our children – the future of our community.

“Excel By 5 is a pathway to ensure success for the smallest children in our community, but it takes a village,” said Susan O’Connell, project manager for the Corinth and Alcorn County Excel By 5, in a recent interview.

We agree. The buck stops everywhere and on every doorstep.

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.

Originally funded by Chevron and the Phil Hardin Foundation, the project was developed by representatives from the Early Childhood Institute at Mississippi State University, the Barksdale Reading Institute at the University of Mississippi, the Mississippi departments of Education, Health and Human Services, the state legislature, the Mississippi Community College Board, Head Start, the MSU Extension Service, the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service, Mississippi Public Broadcasting and several other nonprofit organizations.

This group developed the basis of a standard to define “early childhood” communities.

Excel By 5 is essentially a standard certification whereby communities that choose to can be formally recognized for their progress to support young children and their families. It identifies gaps in community resources, promotes community collaboration, volunteerism and economic development.

Organizers expect that children in Excel By 5 communities will be healthier and better prepared for kindergarten and first grade.

Communities begin the certification process by forming a local leadership team made up of representatives from key community groups, including schools, churches, businesses, parents, hospitals, early care and education centers and government organizations.

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.

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 certification requirements are divided into four groups: Community Involvement; Family and Parent Support; Early Care and Education; and Health.

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.

Excel By 5 will only be successful with community involvement, commitment and support.

A strong local leadership team is in place, but they can’t accomplish this alone.

Let us all get on board.

Reece Terry publisher rterry@dailycorinthian.com

Salad days of public sector are over San Bernardino, Calif., has now followed Stockton into bankruptcy.

Harrisburg and Scranton, Pa., and Jefferson County, Ala., home to Birmingham, are already there to welcome them.

Detroit has been taken into receivership by Michigan. A plan under discussion is to level a fourth of the city and reconvert it into the pasture and farmland it used to be a century ago.

On the Web, one may find a pictorial tale of two cities: Hiroshima, a smoking flattened ruin in 1945, now a beautiful gleaming metropolis. And Detroit, forge and furnace of democracy in 1945, today resembling Dresden after Bomber Command paid its visit.

Other American cities are exploring bankruptcy to escape from under the mountain of debt they have amassed or to get out of contracts that an earlier generation of politicians negotiated.

No longer shameful, bankruptcy is now seen as an option for U.S. cities.

The crisis of the public sector has come to River City.

What happened to us?

In the Reagan-Clinton prosperity, officials earned popularity by making commitments that could be met only if the good times lasted forever. They added new beneficiaries to old programs and launched new ones. They hired more

bureaucrats, aides, teachers, firemen, cops.

Government’s share of the labor Pat force soared Buchanan to 22.5 million. This is Columnist almost three times the number in the public sector when JFK took the oath of office. These employees were guaranteed job security and high salaries, given subsidized health care, and promised early retirement and pensions that the private sector could not match.

The balance between the private and public sectors shifted. As a share of the U.S. population, the number of taxpayers fell, as tax consumers — the beneficiaries of government programs and government employees who run those programs -rose.

The top 1 percent now pays 40 percent of the income tax. The top 10 percent pays 70 percent. The bottom half, scores of millions of workers, pay nothing. They ride free.

U.S. cities depend on property and sales taxes.

But property tax revenue has fallen with the collapse of the housing market. Sales tax revenue has fallen as a result of the recession that has kept the consumers out of the malls.

Revenues down, cities

and counties face a choice.

Raise taxes, or cut payrolls and services. But if taxes rise or workers are laid off and services decline, Americans in our mobile society move across city and state lines, as they are moving from California to Colorado, Nevada and Arizona.

Bankruptcy not only offers cities relief from paying interest to bondholders, it enables mayors to break contracts with public service unions. Since the recession began, 650,000 government workers, almost all city, county or state employees, have lost their jobs. Millions have seen pay and benefits cut.

The salad days of the public sector are over. From San Joaquin Valley to Spain, its numbers have begun to shrink and its benefits to be cut.

A declaration of bankruptcy by a few cities, however, has an impact upon all -- for it usually involves a default on debts. This terrifies investors, who then demand a higher rate of interest for the increased risk they take when they buy the new municipal bonds that fund the educational and infrastructure projects of the solvent cities.

Cities and counties have no way out of the vicious cycle. Rising deficits and debts force new tax hikes and new cuts in schools, cops and firemen.

Residents see the town

going down, and pack and leave.

This further reduces the tax base and further enlarges the deficit.

Then the process begins anew.

Since the New Deal, Keynesianism has been our answer to recession. As the private sector shrinks, the public sector expands to fill the void until the private sector returns to health.

Only Keynesianism is not working.

Obama gave us an $800 billion stimulus and four deficits totaling $5 trillion.

The Fed tripled the money supply and put interest rates at near zero. The banks are flush with cash. But the engine will not turn over.

What about supply-side tax cuts? But with the Bush tax cuts still in place, taxes are generating the smallest share of gross domestic product in decades.

How much bigger a deficit should we run?

Liberal economists are saying, deficits be damned, print money and spend.

With Republicans blocking tax hikes and Democrats resisting cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, all eyes turn to the Fed. As Milton Friedman said, “Inflation is the one form of taxation that can be imposed without legislation.”

(Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

Obama’s dupes carry brunt of economic failures Give the Obama Youth credit for this: At least they didn’t vote their self-interest.

The cadres of college students and recent graduates who swooned and fainted for Barack Obama four years ago will long be remembered for one of the most ill-considered fliers in the annals of self-defeating enthusiasms.

In the cold light of day, the youthful idealists, believers and activists of 2008 look like the lamentable saps, patsies and suckers of 2012.

Rarely has a politician owed so much to a constituency he has served so poorly.

The president promised young voters the moon, and all they got was their old childhood bedroom back in their parents’ house. He fired them with an inspirational vision that didn’t include struggling to find a job to begin to pay off their onerous student loans. He sold a new kind of politics and gave them more debt and more entitlement spending that they will labor to fund all their working lives. He talked of hope and change — and gave it to them good and hard.

Obama’s inability to deliver on a recovery worthy of the name has devastated

recent college graduates. By one count, half of them are unemployed or underemRich ployed. More Lowery of them are carrying debt National from college, Review more than 60 percent, than have full-time employment.

Studies show that graduating into such a weak economy has a long-lasting dampening effect on the earnings of young people. They bear the brunt of the economic failure of their champion.

If man doesn’t live by bread alone, neither does the youthful Obama voter.

He is attracted to the president’s social views, to his supposedly forward-looking progressivism, to what his historic election symbolized in 2008, to his cool and cerebral style. Obama hasn’t created the conditions for them to get a decent job, but he can represent their mutual values. In effect, the president’s approach is, “Let them eat gay marriage.”

Based on fiscal calculations alone, it would take a clinical psychologist, not

a political scientist, to understand the young Obama voter. He isn’t sticking it to his elders or to the establishment; he is sticking it to himself. The basic dynamic of the entitlement state favors the old over the young.

It is natural that retirees and baby boomers would be fiercely protective of the entitlement status quo that they will benefit from at someone else’s expense. It is less natural for the someone else — i.e., the young worker — to volunteer for the privilege of getting fleeced.

Older Americans needn’t worry about the unsustainability of our fiscal commitments. It is of little concern that interest payments on the debt alone are projected to consume almost 10 percent of GDP by 2037. It is of only theoretical interest that the 75-year unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare are $8.6 trillion and $26.4 trillion, respectively. John Maynard Keynes famously said, “In the long run we are all dead.” For youthful Obama supporters, the long run won’t come soon enough to save them from the consequences of today’s policies.

They qualify as double

victims of the president’s Keynesian-inflected deficit spending; they suffer from the still-anemic economy now, yet must pay the $5 trillion bill later. They are Generation Debt. On the current trajectory, they will inherit the country after the locusts have eaten. But, hey, did you see the president “slow jam” the news on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon?”

Crumbs from the president’s giveaways — like lowinterest Stafford college loans — can’t possibly compensate for this larger picture. Some young people notice. A New York Times article reported that the president is encountering more youthful skepticism than in 2008: “The nation’s first-time voters are less enthusiastic about him, are significantly more likely to identify as conservative and cite a growing lack of faith in government in general.”

For all that, the president is still performing well among voters under 30.

They were fooled once, and will be fooled again. They are Obama’s dupes.

Judge grants more time to abortion clinic

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — The future of Mississippi’s only clinic where women can get an abortion remains unclear after a federal judge’s ruling in a closely watched court case.

U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III ruled Friday that a strict abortion law passed by the Republican-controlled legislature can take effect, but he gave the clinic more time to comply with the law’s requirements and said it won’t face any criminal or civil penalties as it tries to do so.

The law requires anyone who performs abortions at the clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.

The clinic’s two out-of-state OB-GYNS don’t have those privileges and have had difficulty getting them from local hospitals.

“We do not yet know whether the clinic will obtain admitting and staff privileges,” the judge wrote.

“As both parties stated during the hearing, the resolution of that issue will impact the ultimate issues in this case.”

Both sides claimed partial victory Friday evening.

“The federal judge has provided crucial temporary protection for the clinic and

its physicians,” said Nancy Northup, the president and CEO of the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights.

be a United Methodist thing,” added the pastor.

“If every church in the area will come together, this will be a huge God thing.”

Children in the Kossuth School district are the focus for the need to help.

“A lot of families need this kind of help because of the financial burdens of going back to school,” said FUEL Director Anthia Follin King.

King says the church is hoping to “collect two outfits for each child” as school gets back in session.

“Some kinks have to be worked out, but it will come together,” said the after school director.

“This is a way of giving back for what God has

given us,” added McGill.

Members of the Kossuth church are behind the ministry.

“We want those in need to realize we care,” said member Bobbie Shadburn.

“It’s not about church or those that are in church here, it’s about helping the community,” added Linda Davis.

FUEL began in 2008 as a means to show each child that he or she is loved. The Christianbased program provides each child a hot meal, counseling, scripturebased curriculum, bible lesson and organized games every Wednesday from 3-5:30 p.m. during the school year.

Kossuth United Methodist averages around 100 kids each Wednesday.

Surfing goats ride the waves Associated Press

SAN ONOFRE STATE BEACH, Calif. — Two goats named Goatee and Pismo are wowing California beachgoers with their surfing skills.

The goats’ owner, Dana McGregor, says he taught his goats to surf because he loves to ride the waves and thought they would like it,

too.

The goats stood on surfboards and cruised along waves this past week at San Onofre State Beach, as bystanders watched in amazement.

Goatee, a nanny goat, and her billy goat, Pismo, even rode waves together.

But after a few rides, Goatee swam to shore.

McGregor says he originally got Goatee to eat unwanted foliage on his property.

He began taking the goat to the beach with him, eventually putting her on a surfboard.

McGregor says he started putting Pismo on a board after he was born in March.

DC chief: Reports differ on ‘threats’ WASHINGTON — If your job is protecting the first lady’s motorcade, mouthing off about the boss can lead to more than a citation in a personnel file.

A District of Columbia police officer found that out this week when he came under investigation for threatening comments he was accused of making about first lady Michelle Obama, though police are still trying to figure out exactly what was said, Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Friday.

“Five people can be in the room and will relate five different kinds of stories or versions of a story,” Lanier said. “As we take statements, there’s going to naturally in every investigation be some inconsistencies.”

Authorities have not identified the officer, a 17-year department veteran who has been placed on paid desk duty. He had been assigned to a unit that provides a motor escort for the White House and other dignitaries.

Lanier said the officer is accused of making a threat about the first lady — a comment overheard by another officer and then reported to a superior. The department’s internal affairs division and the U.S. Secret Service are investigating the remarks and taking statements from officers who heard them.

The Washington Post cited anonymous police officials in reporting that the officer allegedly told colleagues over breakfast at a restaurant that he would shoot the first lady and then showed a photo on his mobile phone of a gun he would use. He may also have used a phone application that makes the sound of gunfire, the newspaper reported.

Panel calls for annual PTSD screening WASHINGTON — The Institute of Medicine recommended Friday that soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan undergo annual screening for posttraumatic stress disorder and that federal agencies conduct more research to determine how well the various treatments for PTSD are working.

Of the 2.6 million service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s estimated that 13 percent to 20 percent have symptoms of PTSD. Federal agencies have increasingly dedicated more resources to screen and treat soldiers, but considerable gaps remain, according to the Institute of Medicine, an independent group of experts that advises the federal government on medical issues.

Its recommendations often make their way into laws drafted by Congress and policies implemented by federal agencies.

Barely more than half of those diagnosed with PTSD actually get treatment, often because many soldiers worry it could jeopardize their careers. Also, when soldiers do get care, they’re not tracked to determine which treatments are successful in the long-term.

The Defense Department provides medical care to active members of the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs cares for those who no longer serve.

Sandro Galea, the chairman of the Institute of Medicine panel, said both departments offer many programs for PTSD.

ing, negative impressions of Republican Mitt Romney before he and his allies ramp up for the fall.

In a reflection of campaign strategy, more than one-fifth of the president’s ad spending has been in Ohio, a state that looms as a must-win for Romney more so than for Obama. Florida ranks second and Virginia third, according to organizations that track media spending and other sources.

About three-quarters of the president’s advertising has been critical of Romney as Obama struggles to turn the election into a choice between him and his rival, rather than a referendum on his own handling of the weak economy. Obama’s television ad spending dwarfs the Romney campaign’s so far by a margin of 4-1 or more. It is at rough parity with the Republican challenger and several outside GOP-led organizations combined.

They appear positioned to outspend the president and his allies this fall, perhaps heavily.

The latest attack ad, released on Saturday, includes Romney singing an off-key rendition of “America The Beautiful.”

Pictures and signs scroll by that say his companies shipped jobs to Mexico and China, Massachusetts state jobs went to India while he was governor and he has personal investments in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Feds reroute ships to protect whales SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists studying the carcass of a 47-foot fin whale that washed up on a beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore last month found the creature’s spine and ribs severed, likely from the propeller of one of the huge cargo ships that sail those waters.

There have been many victims of such accidents in recent years as migrating blue, fin and humpback whales have been lured close to California’s shore by plentiful krill, the shrimp-like organisms they eat. All three species are endangered.

Now, after a two-year effort spurred by the uptick in accidents, federal maritime officials have approved a plan to protect whales in and around San Francisco Bay. It includes rerouting shipping traffic and establishing better ways to track whale locations.

The changes crafted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, shipping industry representatives, whale researchers and the Coast Guard will likely take effect next year, after a final review by the United Nations International Maritime Organization.

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Aquarium of the Americas is delving into the past for its first major improvement since Hurricane Katrina, transforming its Caribbean reef tunnel into a mock-up of an ancient Mayan city.

The $1.5 million project is scheduled to open in January, and will also include a wall of fish where a video board now hangs in the lobby, The TimesPicayune reported. The tank will be 20 feet long and 8 feet tall, and filled with more than 5,000 silvery fish native to the Mayan reef off the coast of Mexico.

The fish are a herringlike species called false

pilchard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they school together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a moving disco ball,â&#x20AC;? said aquarium curator James Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fish swim against the flow in nature. In this case, they will swim in the same direction that visitors walk.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Mayan Reefâ&#x20AC;? exhibit will use recreations of ruins artifacts as a backdrop for marine life, as well as interactive technology and new displays. Aquarium officials said it was inspired by the discovery of ancient Mayan ruins submerged beneath Lake Atitlan in Guatemala and the Tulum ruin site off the Mexican coast.

With aquarium at-

tendance rising steadily since Katrina, officials say they want to keep the momentum going by offering visitors something fresh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted something new that provided a way to say we need to be better environmental citizens and still do it in a fun way,â&#x20AC;? Audubon Institute CEO Ron Forman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This reef is a unique biosystem, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also very fragile. And it needs to be protected.â&#x20AC;?

From inside the tunnel, Mayan columns and replicas of massive stone pieces in the shape of heads, pottery and â&#x20AC;&#x153;stelae,â&#x20AC;? tall sculpted stone shafts that served as altars, will dot the landscape. New LED lighting

will accent the addition of colorful creatures native to the reef, including pork fish, hog fish, angel fish and butterfly fish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be lots of the same species, just more of them,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Dorand, an Audubon vice president for design and exhibitry.

The tube will have interactive screens with information about the fish and a wi-fi connection for explanatory smartphone â&#x20AC;&#x153;fish apps.â&#x20AC;?

The carpet that now covers the tunnel floor will be replaced by a stone treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as I know, there were no carpets in Mayan temples,â&#x20AC;? Forman said, smiling.

Redbanded stink bugs show early in soybeans Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Warm winter weather led to stink bugs showing up earlier than usual this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bad news for soybean farmers because redbanded stink bugs can destroy entire fields if left unchecked.

The threat comes as high prices and drier weather prompted Louisiana and Mississippi farmers to boost soybean acreage from last year.

Insecticides are the main restraint against the stinkbugs. LSU AgCenter entomologist Jeff Davis says farmers probably will have to spray more than usual this year. He says the AgCenter usually recommends three to five applications for soybeans, and Louisiana farmers likely will need five this year.

Mississippi usually plants more soybeans than Louisiana, and this year is no exception.

Louisiana farmers have put in about 1.14 million acres compared to 2.13 million in Mississippi.

Redbanded stinkbugs destroy the crop by squirting digestive enzymes into beans through needle-like mouth parts, then slurping up the goop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They slurp it up kind of like a Slurpee. Like a big smoothie,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Davis, an LSU AgCenter entomologist.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a potentially costly problem. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prices had a record average of $11.90 a bushel, and June prices in Mississippi averaged $14.20, up 90 cents from June of 2011, said Serial Kenerson, acting director of the U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Agricultural Statistics Service office in Mississippi.

Soybean prices nationally hit a record $16.79 per bushel Monday after a USDA report said widespread drought in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midsection has left 27 percent of soybeans in poor or very poor condition in the 18 states where most are grown, and only 40 percent was in good or excellent condition.

At $16 a bushel and 35 bushels an acre, a 100acre field could be worth $56,000.

Mississippi is No. 12 and Louisiana 18th in soybean acreage this year with 2.13 million and 1.14 million acres respectively; No. 11 Arkansas planted almost as many acres in soybeans as Louisiana and Mississippi together.

Redbanded stink bugs apparently moved into the United States from Central and South America, and are a bigger threat in the Deep South than in more Northern climates, where cold winters keep them in check, Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been found

as far north as southern Missouri and Tennessee,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Insecticides are the main way to control them, and farmers probably will have to spray more than usual this year, he said.

The AgCenter usually recommends three to five insecticide applications on soybeans, and farmers likely will need five this year, he said.

Farmers who have planted strains resistant to the bugs would need less pesticide, he said. Of six varieties tested over three years, one called Pioneer 95 Y20 has consistently been most resistant, he said. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many acres are planted in that variety, and said that the most stinkbug-resistant plant may not be the best for a given areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil type and growing conditions.

Fire ants also can keep stink bug numbers down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pest for us ... but they do provide a service in those fields,â&#x20AC;? he

Mississippi farmers triple peanut plantings Associated Press

Mississippi farmers moved from ninth to seventh this year among peanut-growing states, more than tripling the number of acres planted in peanuts.

Fresh figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show Mississippi farmers put 50,000 acres into peanuts this year, up sharply from the estimated 15,000 acres planted in 2011.

The increase leapfrogged the Magnolia State over Oklahoma and Virginia on the top 10 list of peanut-planting states.

All 10 leading peanut states in terms of total acreage all expanded peanut plantings this year.

Plantings in sector leader Georgia rose almost 50 percent, going from 475,000 to 710,000 acres.

All told, about one-third more land was put into peanuts this year than last, going from 1.14 million to 1.53 million acres, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to plant too many and kill the market,â&#x20AC;? said Emory Murphy, assistant executive director of the Georgia Peanut Commission.

Winter contract prices of

up to $750 a ton encouraged planting, said Mike Howell, the peanut expert at the University of Southern Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agricultural Extension Service.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any farmer encourages fire ants. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ubiquitous in the fields now; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ubiquitous around Louisiana every year.â&#x20AC;?

Davis said farmers began calling about stink bugs in early May, almost two months earlier than usual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have pods yet, and stink bugs were showing up,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

Another indication of the early start is the speed with which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reproduced in white clover, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re common before soybeans begin producing seeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve documented four generations at a time in white clover this year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve rarely seen more than one or two,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were warmer earlier, they were more active earlier, feeding earlier, multiplying earlier, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good potential for them to have many generations in soybeans.â&#x20AC;?

Braves win 6th in a row

BY GEORGE HENRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — Jason Heyward singled to cap a three-run rally and the Atlanta Braves took advantage after the umpires reversed a call, beating the New York Mets 8-7 Saturday for their sixth straight win.

The Braves’ comeback prevented a shaky R.A. Dickey from getting his 11th win in a row. Bobby Parnell (2-2) gave up RBI singles with two outs in the eighth to Michael Bourn, Martin Prado and Heyward.

Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected while disputing a call in Atlanta’s two-run fifth.

With the score 3-all and Prado on first base with one

out, Heyward hit a sinking liner that left fielder Jordany Valdespin charged. Third base umpire Dale Scott, the crew chief, initially ruled Valdespin made a diving catch and Prado, who had reached second, was trapped while retreating for an apparent inning-ending double play.

But after the umpires conferred, they ruled — correctly, as replays showed — that Heyward’s ball bounced. The umpires then placed Prado safely on second.

Freddie Freeman’s twoout, two-run double gave the Braves a 5-3 lead.

Dickey was furious after returning to the Mets’ dugout,

slamming his glove several times against the bench. His teammates bailed him out by scoring three runs in the sixth to give the Mets a 6-5 lead and put Dickey in line to earn the victory.

Dickey struggled for his second straight start. The All-Star knuckleballer allowed eight hits and two walks in five innings.

Anthony Varvaro (1-0) allowed one hit and struck out two in the eighth.

In the ninth, Braves closer Craig Kimbrel struck out Ike Davis, Daniel Murphy and pinch hitter Lucas Duda to convert his 19th straight save opportunity. Kimbrel has

earned his 27 of 28 chances this season.

Parnell gave up three hits while getting only one out. He was the third Mets pitcher of the inning, with Tim Byrdak and Pedro Beato also each being charged with a run.

Ike Davis hit his 13th homer and Andres Torres’ RBI single tied it at 3 in the fourth. The Mets got RBI singles from pinch hitter Justin Turner, Ruben Tejada and Valdespin to take a 6-5 lead in the sixth.

Tejada added an RBI single in the eighth to make it 7-5.

Braves starter Tommy Hanson gave up six runs on five hits and two walks in 5 1-3 innings.

Hall set to enshrine Larkin, Santo Associated Press

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Barry Larkin almost seemed wistful as his mind traveled back through time.

“I think coming out of high school I was a better football player than a baseball player,” Larkin said. “I wanted to play football. That was my first real love at the time.”

Larkin, an honor student and a two-sport standout in his senior year at Cincinnati’s Moeller High School, went to the University of Michigan on a scholarship to play for coach Bo Schembechler’s Wolverines, opting for college life after being picked in the second round of the 1982

Details on the careers of Barry Larkin and Ron Santo.

9A draft by his hometown Reds.

Larkin’s dream of becoming a standout defensive back was doused when Schembechler redshirted him as a freshman, and it didn’t take long for football to become an afterthought.

“That was really the first time in my life that I just played one sport, and I got a lot better at that sport,” Larkin said.

That sport was baseball, and much to the chagrin

of an incredulous Schembechler, Larkin walked away from football, became a twotime All-American who appeared in two College World Series while at Michigan, and rode his considerable talent to heights he never imagined as a kid — election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

“This is kind of off the charts as far as something that I could even dream about,” said Larkin, who will be inducted a week from today (July 22) along with late Chicago Cubs third baseman Ron Santo.

Also to be enshrined in a separate ceremony the day

before are former St. Louis Cardinals catcher and longtime broadcaster Tim McCarver, recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, and Toronto Sun beat writer and columnist Bob Elliott, recipient of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award.

Instead of someday playing in the Rose Bowl, Larkin made his major league debut for Cincinnati under playermanager Pete Rose after being picked again by the Reds — this time with the fourth selection in the 1985 draft.

Despite playing just 41 games his first year, Larkin finished seventh in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1986.

Recreational fishing rebounds on coast Associated Press

D’IBERVILLE — Recreational fishing is making a strong comeback on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. But small charter boats are getting more of the business.

At the D’Iberville Marina, Captain Robert Brodie pours buckets of water on the dock and tosses out the morning catch.

“Today we caught Florida pompano, that’s sort of like an exotic species we catch at the barrier islands. Also, we caught southern kingfish, which are commonly called

whiting. Today we also caught some really big flounder.”

Brodie’s business, Team Brodie Charters, charges $375 for half a day and $475 for a full day. He can take up to four people.

“The fishing has really come back strong. Doing little boats like we do, we do the inshore.

So we can fish no matter what the weather,” Brodie tells Mississippi Public Broadcasting.

For Jane Clare Edwards of Brandon: “Oh, the fishing was great. We got rained on, but we made it work and we had a great time.

“We live on the reservoir, so we fish a lot at home. This is our second year. We came last summer and had a great time and caught a lot of fish. And so we’re back this summer. We went out further this time, and so we caught bigger fish this time.”

Other people are coming back, too. Last year 65,000 people bought recreational saltwater fishing licenses. This year, it’s up to nearly 70,000, according to the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.

At the marine supply store,

President of the Mississippi Charter Boat Captain’s Association Tom Becker is buying a new rod holder for his boat.

“Recreational fishing, if you’re talking strictly fishing, the fish are out there, believe me, they are out there. The problem is, the people, to my type boat, which is a big offshore boat, they don’t have that kind of money,” he said.

Becker charges $750 for half a day and $950 for a full day.

Unhappy Valley: Penn Staters tire of scandal Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — They’ve had to reconcile the school whose sports programs vow “success with honor” with one of the worst scandals in sports history.

Almost inconceivably, they have been forced to reconsider the integrity and iconic status of the late Joe Paterno, the longtime football coach whose program helped turn a school focused on agriculture into one of the nation’s biggest and most respected research universities.

In the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal — and a report that said

school officials hid accusations against him — the school is bracing for civil lawsuits and perhaps NCAA sanctions. Meanwhile, Penn Staters are trying to protect Happy Valley, the almost-too-goodto-be-true nickname for the campus enclave at the foot of Mount Nittany and the protective veil the community feels in its central Pennsylvania home.

“I think it’s one of the finest universities around and the crimes of a few doesn’t dictate the university’s reputation,” said Craig Lehnowsky, whose son just finished getting three degrees in eight

years. “If today was the day to decide where my son would go (to college), he’d be coming here.”

Sandusky, Paterno’s one-time top defensive coach, was charged in November with sexually preying on boys, some on campus, and was convicted last month on 45 charges.

Paterno died of cancer in January and wasn’t charged, but he was fired by trustees days after the Nov. 5 grand jury report came out and Pennsylvania’s state police commissioner said Paterno failed his “moral responsibility” to do more.

On Thursday, for-

mer FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was hired by the university’s trustees to investigate, issued a report that said Paterno, former university president Graham Spanier and two other school administrators buried allegations against Sandusky out of a desire to “avoid the consequences of bad publicity.”

Their inaction allowed the retired assistant coach to continue molesting boys, Freeh’s report found.

On Saturday, artist Michael Pilato removed a halo he had added to Paterno’s image on a large mural in State College after the coach died in January. He said he

usually puts a halo over one of his subjects when they die, but felt after release of the report that it should be removed in Paterno’s case.

“It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, but I’m glad I did it,” he told The Associated Press.

Instead, Pilato added a large blue ribbon on Paterno’s lapel symbolizing support for child abuse victims — an idea he said Paterno endorsed before his death.

Pilato earlier removed Sandusky from the mural. He said he hasn’t made a decision on the image of Spanier but will make some kind of change.

FISHING CONTINUED FROM 8A

hands to pay. Usually about 10 people charter the boat, to cover the cost. Becker says with the cost of fuel and the weak economy, in the past few years, he’s lost about half of his business.

Capt. Kyle Jarreau runs the Jus Add Water

out of its home in a Bay St. Louis marina. Jarreau is one of four captains who put guests atop schools of sport fish at Shore Thing Fishing Charters.

They also say recreational fishing is bouncing back after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 and the

release of freshwater from Lake Pontchartrain in 2011 into the Mississippi Sound.

Along with the closing of fishing at times because of them, recreational fishing in the Gulf of Mexico off the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts went through several years of hard times.

What global warming looks like

BY SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Is it just freakish weather or something more?

Climate scientists suggest that if you want a glimpse of some of the worst of global warming, take a look at U.S. weather in recent weeks.

Horrendous wildfires.

Oppressive heat waves.

Devastating droughts.

Flooding from giant deluges. And a powerful freak wind storm called a derecho.

These are the kinds of extremes experts have predicted will come with climate change, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far too early to say that is the cause.

Nor will they say global warming is the reason 3,215 daily high temperature records were set in the month of June.

Scientifically linking individual weather events to climate change takes intensive study, complicated mathematics, computer models and lots of time. Sometimes it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caused by global warming. Weather is always variable; freak things happen.

And this weather has been local. Europe, Asia and Africa arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having similar disasters now, although theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had their own extreme events in recent years.

But since at least 1988, climate scientists have warned that climate change would bring, in general, increased heat waves, more droughts, more sudden downpours, more widespread wildfires and worsening storms. In the United States, those extremes are happening here and now.

So far this year, more than 2.1 million acres have burned in wildfires, more than 113 million people in the U.S.

were in areas under extreme heat advisories last Friday, two-thirds of the country is experiencing drought, and earlier in June, deluges flooded Minnesota and Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what global warming looks like at the regional or personal level,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Overpeck, professor of geosciences and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The extra heat increases the odds of worse heat waves, droughts, storms and wildfire. This is certainly what I and many other climate scientists have been warning about.â&#x20AC;?

Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in fire-charred Colorado, said these are the very record-breaking conditions he has said would happen, but many people wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I told-you-so time, he said.

As recently as March, a special report an extreme events and disasters by the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned of â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedented extreme weather and climate events.â&#x20AC;? Its lead author, Chris Field of the Carnegie Institution and Stanford University, said Monday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really dramatic how many of the patterns that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about as the expression of the extremes are hitting the U.S. right now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing really is a window into what global warming really looks like,â&#x20AC;? said Princeton University geosciences and international affairs professor Michael Oppenheimer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like heat. It looks like fires.

It looks like this kind of environmental disasters.â&#x20AC;?

Oppenheimer said that on Thursday. That was before the East Coast was hit with triple-digit temperatures and before a derecho â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a large, powerful and long-lasting straightline wind storm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; blew from Chicago to Washington.

The storm and its aftermath killed more than 20 people and left millions without electricity. Experts say it had energy readings five times that of normal thunderstorms.

Fueled by the record high heat, this was among the strongest of this type of storm in the region in recent history, said research meteorologist Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storm Laboratory in Norman, Okla.

Scientists expect â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-tornadic wind eventsâ&#x20AC;? like this one and other thunderstorms to increase with climate change because of the heat and instability, he said.

Such patterns havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened only in the past week or two. The spring and winter in the U.S. were the warmest on record and among the least snowy, setting the stage for the weather extremes to come, scientists say.

Since Jan. 1, the United States has set more than 40,000 hot temperature records, but fewer than 6,000 cold temperature records, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Through most of last century, the U.S. used to set cold and hot records evenly, but in the first decade of this century America set two hot re-

cords for every cold one, said Jerry Meehl, a climate extreme expert at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

This year the ratio is about 7 hot to 1 cold.

Some computer models say that ratio will hit 20-to-1 by midcentury, Meehl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the future you would expect larger, longer more intense heat waves and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen that in the last few summers,â&#x20AC;? NOAA Climate Monitoring chief Derek Arndt said.

The 100-degree heat, drought, early snowpack melt and beetles waking from hibernation early to strip trees all combined to set the stage for the current unusual spread of wildfires in the West, said University of Montana ecosystems professor Steven Running, an expert on wildfires.

While at least 15 climate scientists told The Associated Press that this long hot U.S. summer is consistent with what is to be expected in global warming, history is full of such extremes, said John Christy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a global warming skeptic who says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guilty party in my view is Mother Nature.â&#x20AC;?

But the vast majority of mainstream climate scientists, such as Meehl, disagree: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what global warming is like, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see more of this as we go into the future.â&#x20AC;?

Whitehurst wins Slug Idol

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth native Garrett Whitehurst wowed judges with his deep, country singing voice and fought off a stiff challenge from a couple of female competitors to become the 2012 Slug Idol winner.

Whitehurst, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Whitehurst, performed on main stage before a large, energetic crowd Friday night in the entertainment area of the 25th Annual Slugburger Festival in the CARE Garden at the historic Corinth Depot in

downtown Corinth.

Rain postponed the event from Thursday night and both the preliminaries and finals of both the Junior Slug Idol and Slug Idol contests were held Friday night before Jamie Davis and Soul Gravy took stage.

Rachel Turner, whose grandparents live in Corinth, finished second.

Turner is a Belmont University (Nashville, Tenn.) student and finished third in the Miss Texas pageant this year. She also performed country.

Talented Corinth na-

tive Leah Houston finished third.

Junior Slug Idol finalists were: ■ First Place, Ashlyn Inman of Walnut; ■ Second Place, Brendie Eaton of Rienzi; ■ Third Place, Sky Hughes of Corinth.

“We had some amazing local talent on stage,” said coordinator Steve Knight. “We appreciate all the competitors, congratulate the finalists and encourage everyone to come back next year as this event continues to grow.”

Grant’s chief engineer left mark on Corinth

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

I was driving around town the other day and noticed the new building being put up by Worsham Brothers on U.S. Highway 72.

It got me to thinking about construction and contractors and how the appearance of Corinth has changed over the years.

I’ve only been around these parts for 14 years and I’ve seen a number of changes, but just talk to some of the older residents in town and they’ll tell you about a whole different Corinth.

Of course, that got me to thinking about how Corinth looked during the war and all of the changes to the young city. One of the men most responsible for those changes was Captain Frederick E. Prime of the United States Army.

Frederick Prime was born in Florence, Italy to American parents. He attended school in Paris and Geneva and returned to the States to become a cadet at West Point. He graduated 1st in the class of 1850 and was assigned to the prestigious Engineer Corps. He spent the years before the war traveling the country and superintending the work on a number of construction projects for the army.

Most of his work can still be seen — Fort Massachusetts on Ship Island, Mississippi, Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, Fort Gaines at the mouth of Mobile Bay and Forts Wood and Schuyler in New York Harbor.

When the war broke out, Frederick worked on the defenses of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore and was later wounded and captured during a reconnaissance near Mill Creek, Ky. Once he was exchanged, he was sent to Mississippi and served as an assistant engineer in the closing days of the Siege of Corinth. In July of 1862 he was appointed as General Grant’s Chief Engineer.

When Corinth fell to

A post-war image of Captain Frederick Prime.

Capt. Prime made this drawing of Battery Powell as it appeared on October 4, 1862. the Union, one of the first engineering projects to be started was the completion of the “Beauregard Line” of earthworks around the city. Grant was never enthused about the venture and he was willing to drag his heels when Gen. Halleck ordered the job to begin.

Grant felt the project was too big and was convinced if the earthworks were ever completed it would take every Union soldier in the United States to fully man them.

One evening in July Grant was having supper with Gen. Rosecrans, the commander of the Corinth garrison. The talk turned to the fortifica-

tions and Rosecrans suggested a smaller line of defense focusing on forts built close to the railroad crossing. Grant liked the idea and after the meal they set out on their horses to seek out possible locations.

Captain Prime rode with them.

Within days Frederick was ordered to commence the new line of defenses dubbed the “Rosecrans Line.” The line would eventually consist of seven earthen redoubts, each strategically placed to defend a key road or railroad leading into town.

High ground was chosen to ensure an unobstructed field of fire.

Captain Prime was a gifted architect and each of the forts was laid out with military precision.

Detailed drawings were created to guide the work crews in building the earthworks to his exact specifications. The walls of the forts were 4 ½ feet high and on average were 20 feet thick. In front of the wall was a ditch, 3 to 5 feet deep. Embrasures were built into the works as well. These were the openings in the wall which the cannon fire through, each embrasure placed to create interlocking fields of fire between the forts.

Construction of the forts continued through

the summer and one by one the redoubts were completed and named for individual officers within the garrison. The last to be completed was Battery Powell on the north side of town and construction was still in full swing when the Confederates returned in early October.

While the combat was raging less than a mile away, Prime was fighting the battle with a pick and shovel.

Work crews labored throughout the sweltering day moving tons of earth.

Powell was the smallest of the forts, but its walls were still over 100 feet long and the amount of labor it took to complete was gargantuan. Prime worked the men mercilessly, racing the clock to finish the earthwork in time. Dirt was still being thrown onto the walls that night as six pieces of field artillery were wheeled into the enclosure and their gaping muzzles pointed toward the Confederate lines.

Work on the “Rosecrans Line” did not end with the defeat of Van Dorn’s army. Idle soldiers are prone to get into mischief and to keep the men busy they were put back to work on the earthworks, strengthening and improving the forts and making the city impregnable. Captain Prime su-

pervised the extension of the walls of all the forts and the addition of wooden palisades which gave the works the appearance of the classic western fort from the Hollywood movies.

Prime rejoined General Grant in time for the Vicksburg operations, but the extended campaigning took a toll on his health and he was sent back east to recover. He remained in the army for six years after the war and supervised work up and down the Gulf Coast.

For his service he was promoted to colonel and given a brevet promotion to brigadier general, which he declined. By 1871 his failing health forced his retirement from active duty and he settled in Litchfield, Connecticut where he remained until his death in 1900.

Fred Prime is a shining example of all of those patriotic Americans who over the years have served our country in time of war, though never called upon to fire a weapon or lead men in battle.

Combat is not the only measure of heroism and devotion to duty. All of the work performed by Captain Prime has been erased from our town, but there was a time when his actions changed the face of Corinth.

‘Anna Terry Guards’ were named after Tishomingo woman (Compiled June 14, 2012 by the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society.)

Annie Terry, daughter of Wiley Blount Terry and Mary Gooch Terry, was born April 3, 1839 in Jackson, Tenn.; she died Jan. 21, 1907 in Muskogee, Okla.

Annie Terry married Dew Moore Wisdom in 1861 in Tishomingo County. He was born Feb. 3, 1836 in Madison Co., Tenn., and died Nov. 4, 1905 in Muskogee, Okla.

Extracts from Annie Terry Wisdom’s obituary are as follows: Mrs. Anna Terry Wisdom, wife of the late Colonel Dew M. Wisdom, passed away at her home Monday morning. Mrs.

Wisdom was the daughter of Mary G o o c h Terry and W i l e y RaNae B l o u n t Vaughn Terry. Her father was Historically a wealthy Speaking merchant and planter from Eastport, Miss., where Anna was born 3 Apr 1839.

She entered into the cause of the Confederacy with the generous zeal that characterized her throughout her life.

At her own expense, she equipped a company of troops, who proudly called themselves the “Anna Terry Guards,” in

honor of their fair young patroness.

On 8 Jan 1862, she was married to Captain Dew Moore Wisdom, a gallant young officer of the 13th Tennessee Regiment.

The defeat of the southern cause and the destruction of property changed circumstances, bringing to her, as to so great a multitude of the south, the entire readjustment of life and a demand for courage no less than the war itself had required.

Anna Wisdom was a woman of education and a true Southern belle.

Petite of form with the vivacity of manner that showed her French ancestry through the finest strain of American blood, that of the exiled Hugue-

nots, she never grew old in heart, courage, or interests.

After the war, she went to live in Jackson, Tenn., where her husband held various offices of public honor and trust.

From there, the family moved to Fort Smith, Ark., in the days when that city seemed destined to become the metropolis of the southwest. Her husband became part owner in a newspaper there.

In 1885, the family moved to Muskogee, Okla., when Colonel Wisdom accepted the job of chief clerk at the Indian Agency. Since that time, the family identified with Muskogee history and interests.

Although very fond of

social events, Anna Wisdom was devoted to her church, home, and family. She died 21 January 1907. Funeral services were held in the Grace Episcopal Church. Interment was in Greenhill Cemetery.

The three sons of Anna and Dew Wisdom were quite prominent in Muskogee business.

Their daughter, Lucille Wisdom Eberle was married to Charles H. Eberle, the county’s first registrar of Deeds. Anna Terry Eberle was one of the daughters of Lucille and Charles Eberle, and the mother of Zeb Jackson, Jr. The Jackson family has been in business in Muskogee since 1901 when Ulysses L. Jackson estab-

lished the firm of U. L. Jackson and son.

Winners of Big Cat Quest Tourney has local flavor “There’s no place like home,” “Home is where the heart is,” and “There’s nothing like home cooking,” are all sentiments that several local anglers can identify with after enduring sweltering heat while competing in the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest World Championship of Catfishing tournament held on Pickwick Lake on Saturday, July 7.

The home lake of Pickwick was an exquisite recipe for success for many of the local participants.

Out of the top five catches weighed in, four belonged to area teams.

Finishing atop the leader board was a tall order considering the number of capable fishermen, but the Counce, Tenn. team of Doug Matlock, Ricky Matlock and Terri Switch-

er were up to the challenge.

The trio combined to catch a 5-fish David limit of Green c a t f i s h weighOutdoors ing in at a whopping 115.90 pounds, earning them the first prize payout of $3,000 in cash.

In any tournament it’s important to get off to a good start and it’s equally important to finish strong. The team did just that. Terri got the team cooking by catching the overall big fish of the tournament, a 53.70 pound lunker, at 8:07 a.m. and Ricky added the finishing touches by landing another 50-plus pounder

at 2:30 p.m., just 30 minutes prior to the end of the tournament day.

Though most teams brought in good weights, those two fish alone would have bested the rest of the field even if they hadn’t weighed in another fish.

The winning weight was taken by using cut shad while fishing depths in the 23-to 24-foot range.

Terri received an additional $500 for having the overall lunker, and Doug got an extra $250 for being the top senior angler of the tournament.

The team of John Raines, Josh Raines and Sam Brooks from the state of Indiana earned $1,600 for coming in second with a solid weight of 100.90 pounds. They were the only team to finish in the top five not from the sur-

rounding area.

The next two places went to teams from Corinth. David Shipman, Jackie Cooksey and Jonathan Cooksey weighed in 87.15 pounds of fish to garner $1,400 in prize money for their third place finish, while Phil King and Tim Haynie came in fourth with an even 76 pounds for a not too shabby $1,200 paycheck.

James and Jenny Sanders of Bethel Springs rounded out the top five by hauling in 74.60 pounds of catfish worth $1,000. Jenny also received $250 for being the youngest female catching the largest catfish. The fish tipped the scales at 29.53 pounds.

Seeing unusually large fish hoisted into the air

at a weigh-in site is a sight to behold, but what struck me the most in this tournament was the joy, broad smiles and giddiness characterized by some of the younger participants. Jenny was so happy she could hardly keep from tripping over herself. Terri’s enthusiasm over her accomplishment was busting at the seams and Jonathan’s big smile stretched from ear to ear as he hoisted his 32.35 pound catfish while posing for a picture.

Sportsmen, especially brothers, are extremely competitive in nature, but sometimes they must pull together in order for the cream to rise to the top. Doug and Ricky Matlock normally fish in tournaments against one another. On this day, the

decision to join forces appeared to be the right one.

A considerable amount of playful kidding sometimes goes on between friendly rivals during a tournament, but considering the end results and the hot conditions endured, I doubt the Matlock boys will be hearing anytime soon someone say “If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.”

Jennifer Lopez follows Tyler off ’American Idol’

BY LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES — Jennifer Lopez followed Steven Tyler’s lead off “American Idol” on Friday, a one-two punch for a show on the brink of an adolescent identity crisis.

Lopez will not be back for a third year on television’s top-rated but struggling show, her representative, Mark Young, said Friday. Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler announced Thursday he was exiting.

That means the “Idol” panel is down to one, original judge Randy Jackson, and there are reports that he may take a different role when the Fox show returns next January.

Lopez broke the news to “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest on his radio show.

“I really was dreading this phone call with you,” she told him. “I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things

that I do that I’ve put kind of on hold because I love ‘Idol’ so much.”

“American Idol” has been TV’s most popular program for nearly a decade, but its ratings have declined as TV’s talent show field has grown more competitive.

When it returns for its 12th season next January, “Idol” will have to be a reengineered version of the once-powerhouse series that turned hopefuls such as Jennifer Hudson into stars and gave network rivals fits.

Speculation about potential new panelists has focused on Mariah Carey, with former “Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert getting a shout-out from his fans. Much is at stake for the show and for its judges: Lopez’s contract reportedly was worth $12 million and the stint proved a career-booster for her.

Fox and Jackson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Tyler started the exodus with his announcement Thursday that he was putting rock ‘n’ roll ahead of the show that he said had been “over-the-top fun.”

“I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I’m back — but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band,” Tyler said in a statement.

Aerosmith is on a nationwide tour with Tyler and has an album due out in the fall.

In a phone interview Thursday with The Associated Press as the news about Tyler broke, Lopez had said she was saddened to hear that Tyler was leaving and that his departure would play a role in her decision.

“I can’t even imagine anyone else there right now because I’ve just spent two years sitting next to him,” she said. “I love Steven, and we became close during that time. We were a great

support for each other, on an adventure that neither one of us knew what it was going to be. So it’s hard to hear that he won’t be doing it.”

Jackson and his “dawg!” exclamations have been a stalwart part of “Idol.”

But the show’s multi-year contracts, such as the one Jackson signed, typically include an escape clause that the network can choose to exercise or not.

In a statement Thursday, one Fox executive expressed measured regret over Tyler’s decision.

“We are very sad that Steven has chosen to focus more on his music, but we always knew when we hired a rock ‘n’ roll legend, he would go back to his music,” said Mike Darnell, the network’s president of alternative entertainment.

Seacrest, the other original cast member, will provide a stable center. He signed a two-year contract with “American Idol” producers this

spring to continue as host.

The Fox series, which began with Jackson, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul as judges, has made changes on the panel over the years. Ellen DeGeneres joined one season, and songwriter Kara DioGuardi was added as a fourth judge to work with Jackson, Cowell and Abdul.

The addition of Tyler and Lopez two years ago added fresh star power, and the pair and Jackson clicked on-camera.

But “American Idol” ended up in a vulnerable position, coming off a May finale that drew 21.5 million viewers as Phillip Phillips was crowned the newest winner.

It was a record low finish and followed a pattern of declining viewership for the onceinevitably top-rated series, not to mention a pattern of “white guys with guitars,” as fans describe the show’s recent string of similar winners.

The series ended the 2011-12 season as No. 2 with an average 20 million viewers for the Wednesday performance episodes, just edging third-place “CSI” on CBS (19.7 million) and NBC’s top-rated “Sunday Night Football” (20.7 million).

“Idol” still rules among the most-watched talent shows, topping ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” and NBC’s “The Voice.”

But the Fox show is fighting to keep advertiser-favored young viewers, with “The Voice” nearly equaling its audience among adults 18 to 49.

“American Idol” hasn’t been helped by a run of champions who have failed to achieve the career sizzle of Hudson, Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson.

The winner, however, ultimately is up to the audience. The judges are in the network’s and producers’ control, and their next moves are critical ones.

Helen Reddy comes out of retirement after decade-long break

BY MICHAEL CIDONI LENNOX AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — Helen Reddy failed to take her own advice for the last few years — she did not “Keep on Singing,” to quote the title of her 1974 hit.

Ten years ago, the “I Am Woman” singersongwriter gave up on show business and started a whole new life in her homeland of Australia.

She got her degree in clinical hypnotherapy, and for the last decade has lived modestly in Sydney.

“I have very wide-rang-

ing interests,” she said in a recent interview. “So, singing ‘Leave Me Alone’ 43 times per song lost its charm a long time ago.”

But she couldn’t stay silent forever. Reddy is making her return to the musical stage this week, at a club in San Diego and for a high school benefit in the Panorama City section of Los Angeles.

She decided to return to performing after being buoyed by the warm reception she recently got when she sang at her sister’s birthday party.

But don’t expect to hear all of the old chart makers

during her performances.

“One of the reasons that I’m coming back to singing is because I’m not doing the greatest hits,” Reddy explained. “I’m doing the songs that I always loved. So many are album cuts that never got any airplay, and they’re gorgeous songs.”

Reddy, 70, has been singing since she was a young girl, as part of a well-known show-business family in Melbourne.

But she didn’t score hugely until her 1971 hit cover of “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” the big ballad from the musi-

Horoscopes Sunday, July 15, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

Jupiter and Mars are like Batman and Robin: cosmic superheroes intent on blocking the potential negatives of Mercury’s retrograde and the sun square Saturn. They needn’t be so vigilant, though, because the Gemini moon is on our side, suggesting we talk about problems, share knowledge and work toward satisfying solutions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because you’re not exactly cut out for a certain kind of work doesn’t mean you shouldn’t force yourself to do it.

You’ll enjoy trying something new, regardless of your skill level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re the consummate problem solver, and you’ll spend quite a lot of time making life run more smoothly. Ultimately, you’ll be the one to change a system, refine a technique or improve the available tools.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a gift for listening objectively to your thoughts. Extract wisdom from them while weeding out the voices that are pointlessly negative.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The truth shall not only set you free; it shall make you laugh in the process.

So after you laugh, consider why you did. There is no “funny” without “truth.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Inaction may save you from making a bad move, but if you are letting fear paralyze you, it’s not worth it. Right now, a bad move is better than no move at all, because it puts you back in the game.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The reason so many people want to be around you now is that you appreciate those who were already around you, and the others got wind of your good vibes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For you, it’s not about the money; it’s about what you could do with it. Filmmakers turn money into light. Songwriters turn it into music. Once the cash is in hand, your mind whirs with possibilities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Unlike water, different people boil at different degrees. A situation has you at a simmer now, and you’ll decide whether to get out of the fire or give it more fuel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Your visual sense is enhanced now.

You’ll be exposed to beauty, and you’ll love the experience of learning through your eyeballs. Also, you can learn quickly by picturing information.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your inspiration comes from a source, and then later you’re the source of inspiration for someone else. So keep looking for what gets your creative juices going. You owe it to the next person to stay inspired.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A friend in need may be a friend indeed, but today you can’t help but favor the ones who aren’t in need. Even giving souls like you appreciate a break now and then.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be surrounded by the things that reflect who you are. Your values, taste and sensibilities shine through as you share, display and decorate from the heart.

Cryptoquip

cal “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Over the next decade, she produced 15 top 40 hits, with three reaching No. 1.

Her biggest song was the feminist anthem “I Am Woman” — which ultimately inspired her to retire.

“That was one of the reasons that I stopped singing, was when I was shown a modern American history high-school textbook, and a whole chapter on feminism — and my name and my lyrics (were) in the book,” she recalled. “And I thought, ‘Well, I’m part

of history now. And how do I top that? I can’t top that.’ So, it was an easy withdrawal.”

Still, that is one of the classics from her catalog that she will sing on stage — or, to be more accurate, recite.

“Sometimes the words get lost in a song,” Reddy said. “And I think the words are very important.

So I am reciting ‘I Am Woman.’ And I hadn’t realized, but it’s wonderful acting piece, as well. So, that will probably be the end of the set for me.”

She added: “A lot of things that (women

have) gained during the ‘70s have been lost. And I think it is time to put woman forward in more places.”

As for Reddy, who recently had cataract surgery, she says she’s already in a “very good place.”

“I’m still very active, physically. I walk four miles a day. And I love the fact that I don’t care so much about things — things that were so terribly important when you’re younger, they don’t matter when you get older,” she said. “And it’s such a sense of freedom.”
