There is no stop in Mallie Kate Williams. The 12 year-old has faced her share of challenges throughout her young life. Each obstacle has given the oldest child of Ritchie and Ginger Williams the opportunity to let God work. “I really trust the Lord and the plan he has for my life,” said a smiling Williams. “I know He can take care of every need.” The Alcorn Central seventhgrader has had a rare blood disease called Pyruvate Kinase or PK Deficiency since birth. The blood disorder, which also effects her younger brother Hayden, is an inherited lack of the enzyme py-

Monday’s Celebration of Excellence in Education will be a significant step forward for that area’s schools, according to local education leaders. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the Crossroads Arena, the event will celebrate and honor the hard work and dedication of the educational staff in Corinth and Alcorn County. The key speaker for the event will be Ron Clark, a renowned educator, speaker and author. It is sponsored by the Commission for the Future of Alcorn County in cooperation with the Pierce Foundation and CARE Community Foundation. “I view it as a pretty significant and timely event for several reasons,” said Sandy Williams, chairman of the CARE board and member of the Committee for the Future of Alcorn County’s steering committee. “One, this may be the first time both our school districts have come together to host their staffs and get them off to a good start for the school year.” Another important factor is the number of distinguished education leaders in attendance. Dr. Wayne Gann, the recently elected chairman of the State Board of Education will present “The Charge” to the educators in attendance. “This will perhaps be the first public meeting where he will be recognized,” said Williams. Also in attendance will be the former and longtime chair of the State Board of Education, Tupelo resident

Transition focused on students BOONEVILLE — When students return to Northeast Mississippi Community College next Thursday for the first day of regular classes, they’ll find a campus on the move and in the midst of a major transition. College officials and employees have been hard at work this summer sprucing up buildings, improving parking and moving toward the completion of one of the largest construction projects in the school’s history. NEMCC President Dr. Johnny Allen said all of the work currently being done on campus and the projects planned for the years to come are centered on one basic idea - putting the students and their needs first. “It’s all about making the college more accessible for the students,” he said. The most visible sign of progress on the campus is the ongoing construction of the Jack T. Ramsey Student Services Building. Located on the eastern end of Cunningham Boulevard at the center of the campus, the building will bring all student service offices under a single roof for the first time. The first floor of the building houses the college’s admissions, business, financial aid, records and student housing offices, along with counseling offices and other student-related services. Allen said these offices are located on the ground floor, with easy access from all four sides of the building, to make it more convenient for students to find the offices they most commonly need to visit. These offices have previously been scattered in multiple buildings across the college campus. The second floor houses the offices of the president, chief financial officer, deans and other key college officials, keeping them all close together to facilitate interaction among the departments. The west side of the building also includes a large plaza stretching west to the western side of the Union property

ruvate kinase, which is used by red blood cells. Without the enzyme, red blood cells break down too easily, resulting in hemolytic anemia. Both Hayden and Mallie Kate had transfusions when they were only five days old. By the age of two, Mallie Kate had her spleen removed to reduce the destruction of her red blood cells. The Williams’ middle child, John Riley, does not have the blood disorder. “They both are doing extremely better than expected,” added their mother.

Chinese drywall turns dream home into nightmare BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
It’s early on a rainy and dreary day. Emily, a 40-year-old mother of three, is sitting in her car, looking across the driveway at the four-year-old home she bought last April. She thought it would be her dream home, but her experience has been more like a nightmare. In the yard sits a large metal container. It looks like a shipping container that would be used on a boat. The container holds the recently stripped out interior of her home, the toxic Chinese drywall that cost Emily and her family so much — even their health. “I thought I bought my dream home,” said Emily. “I had pictures of the front of my house plastered everywhere, at work, on my fridge. It was my first house as a single woman. I thought I did everything right. I brought in a home inspec-

tor, I asked all the right questions. How did this happen to me?” Emily bought the house from its previous owner in August of 2011. She works hard every day in the medical field, and after saving for a year and a half, she wanted to do everything right. So, she called in a home inspector. After spending over two hours in the house, the home inspector told Emily it was perfect. He couldn’t find anything wrong with it, he said. A second home inspection would also get the thumbs up. Soon the air conditioning went out. She called one of the big air conditioning companies in town and workers said her AC was low on freon. They had to refill her air conditioning system with Freon four times from August to the following March. “Finally that company called me and said the EPA would not allow
them to continue putting Freon in my unit without doing a leak test,” Emily remembered. “It was high dollar already. I had only been in the house six months — how can it already be a money pit?” Emily enlisted Jeff Crabb, of Crabb’s Heating & Air, to do the leak test. “He wasn’t in the house but a couple of minutes and he detected it,” Emily said. “It was Chinese drywall. The gases from it corroded the copper in my unit. That’s why the Freon was leaking out.” Chinese drywall is defective drywall imported from Chinese manufacturers beginning in the first years of the 21st century. Lab tests have identified emissions of several sulfurous gasses — carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide and hydrogen sulfide — coming from the drywall. Please see DRYWALL | 5A

become the centerpiece of campus life. The building is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 1 and the college plans to hold a ribbon cutting and celebration of the opening during homecoming weekend Oct. 14. They will then begin the process of moving offices into the building which will be done over a period of several weeks and be scheduled to limit any disruption to services for students. Landscaping of the building’s grounds and the surrounding area is already underway and began with the removal of numerous old oak trees in the area. Allen said many of those trees are diseased and they are being removed to allow for a comprehensive landscaping plan to be put in place
that will give the entire campus a cohesive look. The construction of the new building on the college’s main thoroughfare has brought concerns from some about parking on campus, but Allen said the changes will actually increase parking for students on the boulevard. The road, which was paved in recent weeks, will now have parking only for students and the disabled. This will increase the number of student parking spaces on the boulevard. Faculty and staff parking will be relocated to other areas, allowing these prime spots to remain open for students going to classes. The student services building is only the tip of the iceberg for improvements and construction at the college and is the start of a major 3-5 year transition for the campus,
explained the president. The opening of the new building will move offices out of Estes Hall and Stringer Hall, currently the home of most student services and administration offices. Allen said Estes Hall will be torn down later this year and replaced with a green space for students to study and relax. Stringer Hall, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, will be left visually unchanged on the exterior to protect its historic integrity but will be converted on the inside to a large, open bookstore on the ground floor and offices for distance and computerbased learning on the second floor. The fall will also bring the installation of security call posts throughout campus to enhance safety for students. Allen said
the posts will be located all over the campus and will feature a call button that, when activated, will turn on video and audio recording and immediately summon law enforcement and other emergency responders to the location. Students this fall will also find a more comprehensive bookstore offering more electronics and college apparel and souvenirs. They will also soon launch an iPhone app that will allow textbooks to be ordered and packed for pickup or shipment via the smartphone. On the drawing board for the near future are several large construction projects including a new athletic field house and a new fine arts building. The fine arts building will be constructed on the corner of Veterans Drive
and College Street and will include a state of the art auditorium with floor and balcony seating for all types of performances. The facility will also include a new band hall, rehearsal spaces, classroom and studio spaces for music and other fine arts and more. Allen said the movement of fine arts from Hines Hall and Anderson Hall to the new facility will allow the shifting of classes throughout the campus to eventually bring disciplines together, grouping science, math, fine arts, humanities and other subject areas closer together. The fieldhouse is in the early planning stages, but is expected to be constructed in the area near the north endzone at Tiger Stadium and will replace the current aging and dilapidated struc-
ture. The president said all of the ongoing changes to the campus are part of a long-term vision to help prepare the college for the future and make sure they meet the needs of students for years to come. He said they want to create a campus that is both convenient for students, attractive and that helps encourage a campus life focused on both academics and extracurricular activities. Allen said there will be some growing pains as they work on all these projects and changes and they ask for patience from students and the community as they work to improve the campus and create a better and stronger NEMCC. He said the challenges will be worth it in the end and will help make the college better than ever. Š 2012 Vera Bradley Designs, Inc.

Claude Hartley. Williams said the event’s organizers “are pulling off a pretty significant coup” by having Ron Clark as the key speaker, as Clark is very much in demand. “And fourth, as Bob Dylan sang,, ‘The times, they are a-changing’ — and we all need to be preparing ourselves and our systems for whatever form that change may come in,” said Williams. Clark, 40, is best known for a series of books about teaching he wrote after teaching disadvantaged children in rural North Carolina and Harlem, in New York City. The Ron Clark Academy is his latest project — a private non-profit school in Atlanta, that provides a unique curriculum and allows students the opportunity to travel around the world. It also offers workshops for teachers to learn more about Clark’s teaching methods. He is the author of three books: “The Essential 55: An AwardWinning Educator’s Rules for Discovering the Successful Student in Every Child” (2003); “The Excellent 11: Qualities Teachers and Parents Use to Motivate, Inspire and Educate Children” (2004); and “The End of Molasses Classes: Getting Our Kids Unstuck — 101 Extraordinary Solutions for Parents and Teachers.” Corinth Superintendent Lee Childress said he was excited about the joint meeting between
the two local school districts. “I think as we move into a new era of education in Mississippi it’s important that teachers, administrators, schools and school districts really start to collaborate more,” said Childress. “If we really want to improve education in the state we’re going to have to collaborate more.” Schools Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith said the current cooperation of the school districts stems from a 2011 collaboration on Common Core staff development between the Alcorn School District and the Corinth School District. “This venture motivated Dr. Childress and I to collaborate on other projects that promote academic success for every child in Alcorn County,” said Smith. Smith said beginning a new school year with the vested interest of so many should reflect that Alcorn County cares about the children and the future, and she looked forward to both districts’ faculty having the chance to hear Clark. “Thanks to Mr. Sandy Williams and his wonderful staff, both districts’ faculty and staff will be inspired by Mr. Ron Clark,” she said. “Ron Clark is a dynamic speaker,” added Childress, “and he will definitely motivate and energize teachers for the start of the new school year.” The event, beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 6, will include door prizes and refreshments.
McNairy County elects new mayor BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian
SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy County voters elected a new county mayor and returned the incumbent assessor of property to office for another four-year term in office to highlight Thursday’s General Election. Ronnie Brooks used a large voting bloc in his
hometown Selmer and a good showing in early voting to defeat Tom Cauley in the race for county mayor. Brooks presently serves as McNairy County Circuit Court Clerk. Betty Ashe had the largest vote total of the day and defeated challenger Keith Jernigan by a wide margin in the
race for assessor of property. Ashe collected 2,591 votes compared to Jernigan’s total of 1,677 votes. Brooks came into the mayor’s office with a vote total of 2,431 and Cauley had 1,855 votes. He will serve a two-year term and have to run for a full term in 2014. “This is a very humbling experience to be
elected as county mayor,” said Brooks. “I’ve wanted to serve and help people all my life. I’m still shocked that I have been elected as county mayor.” Ashe was elected to her third term in office after having been first elected in 2004. She worked in the assessor’s office for 13 years prior to being elected as assessor.

MRHC provides huge local economic impact A patient was lying in a bed at Magnolia Regional Health Center recently as nurses prepared him for a pending medical procedure. Above the beeps of the medical machines and the sound coming from the television, there was the nearby buzz of a circular saw and the tap of a hammer. “I’ll be glad when they (construction workers) are finally done,” the nurse told the patient’s wife as she took a blood pressure reading on her husband. At the local medical facility, screwdrivers and stethoscopes go hand in hand. Magnolia Regional Health Center continues to grow, and grow, and grow. As Alcorn County’s number one employer, the state of the art medical center is surrounded by an ever-growing community of physicians, while other related services have made healthcare a key ingredient in the prescription for economic growth and success in Alcorn County and the entire Crossroads area. If we could rate MRHC like a teacher giving out grades, A Plus would be just what the doctor ordered. Magnolia Regional Health Center stands at the center of local growth with a workforce that has nearly doubled over the past decade and an annual economic impact on the region of more than $200 million. That’s impressive stuff. “I think we consider ourselves to be an important economic engine for the community and we take that as a very serious part of our job,” MRHC CEO Rick Napper told the Daily Corinthian in a recent interview. There are numbers to back the CEO’s “economic engine” reference. MRHC currently employs approximately 1,390 people directly, up from 760 employees in 2004. The past decade has seen major expansion for the hospital with the opening of the Magnolia Heart and Vascular Center that offers state of the art heart surgery and cardiovascular care and the Cancer Center at Magnolia has the latest in full-service cancer care and treatment. There has been a major expansion and renovation of patient rooms and other areas throughout the hospital. Continuous upgrades to the hospital bring the latest medical technology and services to the region. The continued focus on bringing new services to the area while providing the absolute highest standards of patient care has resulted in MRHC establishing itself as one of the premier medical centers of its size in the country. The hospital’s expansion provides countless benefits for residents, who now don’t have to leave the Crossroads area for medical services. A study by the Mississippi Hospital Association reports MRHC pumps $59 million into the area’s economy annually just in terms of its direct impact on employees. The study doesn’t take into account the impact of other spending by the hospital, including purchasing of supplies and equipment. The study shows a total economic impact of just over $243 million, taking into account all effects on the regional economy. According to Napper, Magnolia generates about $150 million in cash per year. Of that $150 million, all but about $4 million of it gets reinvested in employees or supplies and a big majority of that money is put back into the community. While the hospital’s direct impact on the economy is enormous, it’s the powerful effect the hospital has on growing the area’s economic base beyond the borders of its own facilities that makes the healthcare industry unique. The presence of a state of the art medical center creates an environment that draws physicians and other medical professionals and services to the community in order to be close to the hospital’s services. Physician recruitment continues to be a key focus for MRHC and each doctor who comes into the community has a big impact on the economy. The hospital and the doctors it brings sit at the center of a massive network of related healthcare service providers. These pharmacies, nursing homes, rehab centers, home health providers, therapy programs and others provide an additional influx of jobs for residents and revenue. The impact of the healthcare industry is more than just the creation of healthcare-related jobs. The expansion of the hospital over the past decade has also brought a steady increase in the number of patients and their families coming into the community. Those people eat at local restaurants, purchase fuel and stay in area hotels, creating another layer of economic impact by supporting the creation of jobs and businesses that might not otherwise exist. The healthcare industry is a unique and valuable player in the region’s economy because it has traditionally grown despite any economic downturn. As the hospital’s continued growth over the past decade shows, the needs of patients for health care services remain despite difficulties in the national economy. During the last recession, healthcare was one of the few industries that showed growth, with approximately a 6.3 percent increase in jobs despite the downturn, according to Napper. Alliance President Gary Chandler recently said the hospital is a vital part of the economy in Alcorn County and throughout the entire Crossroads area. We certainly agree. Thanks to sound leadership, a vision for the future, dedicated employees and some hard work by a lot of people, Magnolia Regional Health Center remains the strong economic lifeblood of the community. We promise to not take MRHC for granted. We challenge others to do the same.

Merit pay proposal could survive political wars STARKVILLE — Back in 1996, former Republican Mississippi Gov. Kirk Fordice was pushing merit pay for teacher in a Legislature that was firmly controlled by Democrats. Merit pay is performance-related pay for teachers based on the performance of their students — usually in the realm of standardized tests. Teachers and teacher unions have resisted merit pay both nationally and in Mississippi based on their claims that there is little evidence that the incentives improve performance beyond “teaching to the test,” that administering such programs are expensive, and that such programs produce low teacher morale. As the 1997 session approached, Fordice was touting a merit pay plan for teachers and asking for an income tax cut in the form of eliminating the so-called “marriage penalty” from the state’s tax code. The legislative leadership — House Speaker Tim Ford, Lt. Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Charlie Capps — came to the table with a plan to spend $52 million in across-the-board teacher pay raises and $45.7 in income tax cuts. The teacher pay hike proposal promised a threepercent raise for teacher in each of three years while
state employees would get a one-time three percent raise. State emSid Salter p l o y e e s Columnist joined the fray in contending that if teachers got a multi-year raise, all state employees should get a multi-year raise as well. Fordice ultimately lost his merit pay fight in 1997, but won the income tax cut he was seeking. Over his objections and a failed veto, the Legislature adopted the Adequate Education Program equity funding bill. Fast-forward to current Republican Gov. Phil Bryant’s recent embrace of specific recommendations from Mississippi State University’s Research and Curriculum Unit that outlines how such incentivebased program could be effectively incorporated into the state’s teacher compensation model. For Bryant, merit pay is not a new issue. Fordice was Bryant’s political patron and during Bryant’s legislative career he watched as Fordice struggled in a Democratcontrolled Legislature for the issue of merit pay to overcome objections from politically powerful state teacher unions. That Bryant went to political school
on those former battles is an understatement. State teacher unions will likely renew their opposition to merit pay, but there is growing support for merit pay approaches both at the federal level and in a growing number of states. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Education reported that 62 school districts and nonprofit groups received $442 million in funding from the federal Teacher Incentive Fund. State governments have also been in the performance or merit pay mix, along with individual school districts. In the past, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina and Texas have utilized varied performance pay programs either as pilot or regular programs in their public schools. Within the last year, Kentucky, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine and Nevada state governments have debated similar plans. Bryant, unlike Fordice, has a Mississippi Legislature that is controlled by Republicans. The merit pay bid that Fordice tried but failed to orchestrate when Bryant was a young state lawmaker is one that Bryant — with the help of Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn — just might finish. (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
Is Mitt being Neoconned into war? Has Mitt Romney given Israel a blank check for war? So it seemed from the declaration in Jerusalem by his adviser Dan Senor, who all but flashed Israel a green light for war, signaling the Israelis that, if you go, Mitt’s got your back: “If Israel has to take action on its own in order to stop Iran from developing that capability, the governor would respect that decision.” “No option would be excluded. Gov. Romney recognizes Israel’s right to defend itself and that it is right for America to stand with it.” What does “stand with” Israel, if she launches a surprise attack on Iran, mean? Does it mean the United States will guide Israeli planes to their targets and provide bases on their return? This would make America complicit in a pre-emptive strike and a co-belligerent in the war to follow. What Senor said comes close to being a U.S. war guarantee for Israel, while leaving the decision as to when the war begins to them. And what does Senor mean by Israel’s need to act “to stop Iran from developing (the) capability” to acquire nuclear weapons? The collective decision of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007 — that Iran is
not pursuing a nuclear weapon — reportedly reaffirmed in 2011 — has Pat never been Buchanan rescinded. Nor has Columnist the White House produced any hard evidence Iran is building a bomb. Moreover, Iran’s known nuclear facilities are under inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Undeniably, Iran, by enriching uranium to 3.5 percent, then up to 20 percent, has a greater “capability” than five years ago of building a nuclear weapon. The governor seems to be aligning himself with Israel’s hawks who are demanding that not only must Iran swear off nuclear weapons forever, Iran must cease all enrichment of uranium, and dismantle the facilities at Natanz and Fordow. Romney’s policy is zero enrichment, said Senor. Tehran must understand that “the alternative to zero enrichment is severe, and that’s why the threat of military force has to be critical.” This is tantamount to an ultimatum to Tehran: Either give up all enrichment of uranium and any right to enrich, or face war. Here we come to the

heart of the issue, which may be impossible to resolve short of war. Unlike its neighbors Israel and Pakistan, Iran has signed the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty and has no nuclear weapons. But under the NPT, Iran claims the right to enrich uranium and seek the benefits of nuclear technology. Is denying Iran the right to enrich uranium a reason for America to plunge into its fifth war in that region in a generation? Before we outsource to Bibi and Ehud Barak the decision to take us to war with a country three times the size of Iraq, we need to know: Was the U.S. intelligence community wrong in 2007 and 2011? Is Iran hell-bent on building nuclear weapons? If so, where are they constructing and testing these weapons? Finally, if Iran is willing to permit intrusive inspections of its actual and suspected nuclear sites, but insists on its right to enrich uranium, should we go to war to deny them that right? But if we are going to go to war again, this time with Iran, the decision should be made in America, according to our Constitution, not by any other country. (Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

DRYWALL CONTINUED FROM 5A
These gases emitted by Chinese drywall can be destructive to home materials and pose a serious health risk to people exposed to it. Shortterm exposure (a period of a few hours) has been shown to result in sore throat, eye irritation, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain and nausea. Long-term exposure over a period of weeks can cause chronic fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, dizziness, irritability, headaches and memory loss. The gases from the drywall had been eating through the copper coiling on Emily’s air conditioning unit. “If drywall is eating through copper that quickly, then what is it doing to us?” Emily said. Once it was pointed out by the air conditioning man, the presence of Chinese drywall was obvious, Emily said. In
the unfinished upstairs part of the home there are places where the backs of sheets of drywall are exposed. On the back it is clearly marked: Made in China. “The home inspector either turned a blind eye or didn’t know what that meant,” Emily said. “How could you not see that?” Four months later, Emily still speaks from a deep sense of gratitude about the man who discovered the cause of her problems. “If there is a hero to my story it’s Jeff Crabb, the man that discovered the Chinese drywall in my home and warned me about the dangers of it,” she said. “Jeff detected it immediately. All AC repairmen in our area need training in this area, because without Jeff, I would still be oblivious and living in it, breathing it every day.” Emily was shocked to learn of the hazardous materials in her home, but it
answered a lot of questions, she said. “We were sick all winter, like a really bad upper-respiratory infection. You can’t stay on antibiotics all the time, but it just wouldn’t go away,” she said. “My symptoms got worse. Very bad. Very random.” She had a constant headache. Her nose ran constantly. It continued to get worse. Emily and her children all developed styes. They would go away and return. Finally, she had to have one removed from the inside of her eyelid. She would later learn that eye irritation is one of the main symptoms of being exposed to the toxic drywall. And Emily’s family wasn’t alone. “All the houses on my street have it. They were all built at the same time, by the same man, with the same products,” she said. “We all have the same symptoms.
Soon, on the advice of her friends and members of her family, Emily moved out of what she thought was going to be her dream home. Three months after moving all of the symptoms have disappeared from Emily and her children. While the illnesses are gone, she is still saddled with the financial burden of trying to make her home livable for herself and her family. Her homeowners’ insurance will not pay to have the drywall replaced, so she’s had to pay for all the work out of her own pocket. “I get up at 5:30 every morning and work hard,” she said. “I had a home inspection. I had my ducks in a row. I followed all the steps. Why is there nothing in place to help people like me? Why — on a local, state or federal level — is there not somebody to help me? Like a low-interest home loan, or
rs o d en oof V 2 r 1 er 1 R e v O nd U
n Off o 10% s with ay Sund church your etin bull
a break on my taxes. I did nothing wrong.” Some have suggested that Emily should just cut her losses, stop making payments and let the house go back to the bank. “I can’t do that,” she said. “I’ve been working on my credit since I was 17. And I took it on myself to tear my house down and have it rebuilt so my children can have a safe place to grow up.” Emily hopes that her story will help other people who are going through similar situations. One way to do that is to teach them how to identify the effects of Chinese drywall. One thing to look for is the tell-tale deterioration of copper coils on an air conditioning system. The copper will be covered by a black, ashy, soot — like it has been in a fire — and will turn a person’s fingers black if they
touch it. Another way to tell is to remove the plate from an electrical outlet and look at the wires. The Chinese drywall often turns these wires black. Another telltale sign is the smell. “After a while it will smell like sulfur, like the house is burning,” Emily explained. Now Emily is looking ahead to the future. Last week she had all new drywall installed in her home. This time it is stamped with the words “Made in America.” She doesn’t want to focus on how hard her ordeal has been, she said. Instead, she wants to help others who may not even know they are in the same situation. “I just hope I can help one person in Alcorn County if they have this,” she said. “I’m focusing on helping people who are living in it and don’t know it.”

More than gay marriage driving Chick-fil-A flap ATLANTA — When President Barack Obama said same-sex couples should have the right to marry, it was national news for a few days before the presidential campaign and the country went back to business as usual. Yet weeks after a fastfood executive doubled down on his opposition to gay marriage, debate rages on about equality, religious values and free speech. “Chickfil-A Appreciation Day” on Wednesday, with supporters flooding the chain’s franchises around the country, was countered with “kiss-ins” by same-sex couples at assorted locations Friday, long after Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s initial comments to a religious publication touched off the clash. That’s an unusual amount of staying power for what initially looked like just another skirmish over a hot-button question. Coursing throughout the conversations on social media, in letters to the editor and in long lines to buy chicken sandwiches is the sense among proud Southerners that the outcry over Cathy’s comments smacks of regional stereotyping. When public officials in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago tell a Southern icon such as Chick-fil-A that it’s no longer welcome, and that Cathy should keep his opinions to himself, many in the Atlantabased chain’s home region hear more than a little northern condescension. “Maybe the reaction is just because we’re Southerners,” said Rose Mason, who was lunching Friday at a Chick-fil-A in suburban Atlanta. Mason, who described herself as Christian, said she grew up in New York City. Now, she said, “I deal with my sister telling me we’re a little backward. People have this idea that we’re just behind on everything. So they view anything we say through that (perception).”
Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist whose family has always been outspoken about its faith, sparked the controversy by telling the Baptist Press that he and his family-owned restaurant chain are “guilty as charged” for openly — and financially — supporting groups that advocate for “the biblical definition of a family unit.” He later added that the United States is “inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.” For Marci Alt, organizer of a protest Friday at a Chick-fil-A in the relatively liberal Atlanta suburb of Decatur, it’s Cathy’s financial backing of conservative groups such as the Family Research Council that takes the conversation beyond merely what he said. “Dan Cathy has the same First Amendment rights that I do. If he doesn’t want to agree with same-sex marriage, I understand that,” she said. “But when he puts a pen to paper and writes a check to an organization that is about to squash my equal rights, I have a problem with that.” Cathy’s comments were in keeping with the tradition established by his father, Truett Cathy, who started the chain in 1967 and never allowed franchises to open on Sundays. Beyond Friday’s organized displays of affection, there were other signs that the furor still had legs. Police were investigating graffiti on the side of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Torrance, Calif., that read “Tastes like hate” and had a painting of a cow, in reference to the chain’s ubiquitous ads featuring cows encouraging people to eat poultry. In Tucson, Ariz., an executive at a medical manufacturing company lost his job after filming himself verbally attacking a Chick-fil-A employee and posting the video online. For William Klaus, a 26-year-old X-ray technician with traditional views on marriage, the
debate starts and ends with Cathy’s liberty to voice his beliefs. “He said what he said. Freedom of speech. Bottom line,” Klaus said at a Chick-fil-A in Jackson, Miss.
Spacecraft heading toward Mars landing PASADENA, Calif. — NASA’s Curiosity rover is zooming toward Mars. With about a day to go until a landing attempt, the space agency says the nuclear-powered rover appears on course. Tension will be high Sunday night when Curiosity plummets through the thin Martian atmosphere and attempts to set its six wheels down on the surface. During the “seven minutes of terror” plunge, it will steer itself part of the way and in the final seconds — if all goes as planned — cables will lower the rover to the ground. This novel, controlled way of landing was necessary because Curiosity is too heavy to bounce to a stop using air bags. The $2.5 billion Mars mission is the most hightech and priciest yet. It will expand beyond previous missions’ search for water.
Lochte’s parents face foreclosure DELAND, Fla. — The parents of U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte are facing foreclosure in Florida. According to a lawsuit filed in May in Volusia County, CitiMortgage is suing to foreclose on Steven and Ileana Lochte. The bank is seeking to recoup $250,000. The news was first reported by TMZ. Court records show that Ileana Lochte asked the court to dismiss the case last month. Messages left Saturday for her attorney were not immediately returned. The Lochtes divorced last year. Court records did not show whether Steven Lochte had an attorney. Both parents have been in London recently to watch their son compete. Ryan Lochte has won five medals, including two gold medals, in swimming events at the London Olympics.

The utility had planned total operating revenues of $12.1 billion for 2012. Operating revenues were 7 percent below the planned amount during the first nine months of the fiscal year, officials said. In spite of the shortfall, TVA officials said the system continued to prove itself reliable under intense demand for electricity during record highs in the summer. TVA’s power system hit record demand on June 29 and then for the weekend of June 30July 1 because of temperatures in the triple digits. TVA provides electricity to about 9 million people in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.
Publication recently featured Corinth’s own slugburger MONTICELLO — When it comes to the newspaper industry in Mississippi, the Carney family has a long-standing history that can be traced back four generations. When J.J. Carney married into the family in 1991, she naturally joined in the family business. However, her love of food and cooking has never been far from her mind. “People have always told me that I needed to go into the food industry,� Carney reveals. “Had the foodie culture been what it is today when I graduated from high school, I probably would have gone to culinary school to become a pastry chef.� As key employees of the Lawrence County Press, Carney knew there would be no way she and her husband could find the time to run a newspaper and support a restaurant or catering business. It was then that she decided to combine her love of food
with her knowledge of the publishing industry. In December, the first issue of Carney’s new magazine Eat. Drink. Mississippi hit newsstands across the state. As Mississippi’s only publication solely focused on showcasing, promoting, and celebrating the food and hospitality that Mississippi is famous for, Carney hopes the magazine will not only encourage more people to visit local restaurants, but also inspire today’s cooks to preserve and impart the passion of Southern food and cooking styles on future generations. Each issue of the bimonthly publication features news on local restaurants from Northern Mississippi, the Delta, and the Capital / River Region of Central Mississippi to the Pine Belt and the Gulf Coast region. Other sections include features on local and native Mississippians
making their way in the culinary world both here and abroad, information on local food banks and pantries, spotlights on Mississippi-manufactured food products, and reviews of Mississippiauthored cookbooks. In addition, readers can find a statewide calendar of events listing food-centered festivals and events, dream kitchens from Mississippi homeowners, and recipes from local chefs and home cooks. The magazine recently included a feature celebrating Corinth's unique culinary creation — the slugburger. A future issue is also scheduled to include a profile of Abe's Grill in Corinth, highlighting the unique history and atmosphere of the Corinth institution. In keeping with the Carney tradition, the magazine has become a family affair. Carney’s husband John serves as executive editor while their two
children, sixteen-year old Anne Morgan and twelveyear-old John Taylor, help out where they can with getting the magazines ready for distribution. “The response has been overwhelming,� says Carney. “Readers have shared how much they enjoy reading the magazine from cover to cover. Plus, the restaurants we have featured are happy to have new diners come in to their restaurants because of the exposure they gained from being in the magazine.� Eat. Drink. Mississippi is available by subscription or for purchase at Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, and at numerous consignment vendors.

Judge denies Apple’s bid for Samsung sanctions Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A federal judge on Friday denied Apple Inc.'s demands for an immediate victory in a multibillion-dollar patent trial. Apple sought the longshot bid as punishment for Samsung Electronics Inc.'s decision to issue a controversial press release on the first day of testimony. The San Jose Mercury News reported Friday that U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh denied Apple's request after polling the nine jurors to determine if they read media accounts based on the news release. All said they've abided by
the judge's admonition to refrain from reading about the case. Samsung attorney John Quinn authorized the release Tuesday, which complained about Koh's exclusion of evidence favorable to Samsung. The release also included the evidence. Apple sued Samsung last year alleging that some of the South Korean company's smartphones and computer tablets are illegal knockoffs of Apple's iPhone and iPad. Samsung denies the allegations and argues that all companies in the cutthroat phone industry mimic each other's
successes without crossing the legal line. Quinn had been arguing for weeks to allow the jury to see the disputed evidence that purports to show Apple's iPhone being
influenced by Sony Corp. designs. Quinn and the judge had a testy exchange over the evidence on Tuesday before opening statements started.

release of TVA’s third quarter report. Officials said they were committed to low rates but would not be able to say whether there will be plans to increase utility rates until after its board meets later this month. TVA chief financial officer John Thomas III said officials did not expect to see similar losses next year. “We’re planning for normal weather so you wouldn’t expect to see that $500 million shortfall that you’re seeing this year.� Because of the losses earlier in the year, TVA officials have instituted a cost-cutting program that calls for the elimination of 1,000 positions in addition to delaying some capital projects.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Hot weather from April to June, including a heat wave that sent temperatures soaring above 100 degrees for four straight days, led to a five percent increase in operating revenues for the Tennessee Valley Authority this quarter. But officials at the federal utility say it still wasn’t enough to overcome the loss TVA suffered earlier in the year amid the mildest winter in decades combined with a sluggish economy. TVA reported a $290 million net loss in the first nine months of 2012. Last year the federal utility reported a $35 million loss during that same time period. The announcement came Friday with the

Ole Miss veterans wants to win now Associated Press
OXFORD — Mississippi won only two games last season, so it would appear obvious that the Rebels are rebuilding. But the team’s veterans say they’re not allowing themselves to think that way. “We’re playing for now,” Ole Miss junior linebacker Mike Marry said. “We’re not playing for next season. Every time we step on the field we want to win. You can’t play for the future, because the future’s not promised to you.” Marry said first-year coach Hugh Freeze isn’t just laying the foundation for future wins, but preparing the Rebels for immediate success.
Freeze led quick turnarounds at both NAIA-level Lambuth (Tenn.) and Arkansas State before being hired by Ole Miss in December after Houston Nutt was fired following a 2-10 season. Instant success in the SEC might be a little more difficult — especially with a roster that even Freeze admits is short on elite talent. A brutal schedule that includes games against Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, Texas and Georgia doesn’t help. Freeze says his players are realistic about the challenges ahead, but have responded well during offseason workouts. Ole Miss begins pre-
season practice Saturday. “They understand that we’re in rebuilding mode,” Freeze said. “But I also think we’ll have them ready to play. If you don’t expect to win, then you’re certainly not going to. I think it’s a combination. We understand where we are and that we have some uphill climbs in some games — on paper anyway — but I do think we can create a confidence during fall camp.” The Rebels will have several position battles in camp, including at quarterback between returner Barry Brunetti and junior college transfer Bo Wallace. Former quarterback Randall Mackey has been
moved to running back as the Rebels try to build more depth in the backfield behind starter Jeff Scott. Brunetti completed 19 of 35 passes (54.3 percent) for 144 yards and rushed for 110 yards in a part-time role last season. Wallace had spectacular numbers last season at East Mississippi Community College, throwing for 4,604 yards and 53 touchdowns. Freeze says he doesn’t expect a quick resolution to the quarterback race, indicating that the battle could last well into September. He’s not opposed to playing two quarPlease see VETERANS | 9A
Phelps helps U.S. win medley relay Associated Press
LONDON — Five things to know about Saturday, Day 8 of the London Olympics: ■ One last splash: Phelps grabs 22nd medal with U.S. medley relay win. ■ Britannia you rock! An Olympic day to remember for the hosts. ■ Pistorius makes 400 semis in Olympic debut. ■ LeBron and Co. pushed in U.S. hoops win over Lithuania. ■ Serena Williams gets a Golden Slam, beats Sharapo-
va in tennis final. ——— When it was over, Michael Phelps hugged his teammates, then headed off the deck for the final time. Reclaiming the lead with his trademark butterfly stroke, Phelps won the 18th gold of an unparalleled career when he helped the U.S. win the 4x100-meter medley relay Saturday night. Phelps retires with twice as many golds as any other Olympian, and his total of 22 medals is easily the best
mark, too. “It’s been a great career,” he said. “It’s been a great journey. I can’t be any more happy than I am.” The U.S. women also won the medley relay on swimming’s final night at the games, setting a world record in the final. Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands took the women’s 50-meter freestyle to complete a sweep of the sprints, and China’s Sun Yang lowered his own world record while winning the men’s 1,500 freestyle.
Britain’s banner day stretched from Dorney Lake to Olympic Stadium, which opened with Oscar Pistorius’ debut and ended with a crowd-pleasing performance by the home team. How to describe the action in track and field? The Blade Runner and Britannia. Pistorius, a double-amputee who runs on carbon-fiber blades, finished second in his 400-meter heat to earn a berth in the semifinals SunPlease see PHELPS | 9A
Hernandez blanks Yanks again on 2-hitter Associated Press
NEW YORK — Every five days, Felix Hernandez makes Seattle just so much better. King Felix dominated the Yankees in their own ballpark again, helping the light-hitting, last-place Mariners look like world beaters by pitching a two-hitter for his third shutout of the season in a 1-0 win over New York 1-0 on a sticky, sunny Saturday. “That’s probably the best
start I’ve seen as a manager,” Seattle’s Eric Wedge said. “In a 1-0 ballgame, he knows one pitch can be the ballgame. That was just special stuff to watch today. What you saw today, you’re not going to see anything better than that.” It’s one of the best starts the Bronx has seen from a visiting pitcher in a while. According to Baseball-reference.com, the last pitcher to win a 1-0 complete game at either Yankee
Stadium was Cleveland’s Greg Swindell in September 1988. The last pitcher to win 1-0 while allowing two hits or less in the Yankees’ ballpark was Baltimore’s Jim Palmer, who pitched a two-hitter on June 1, 1978. Hernandez (10-5) outdid Hiroki Kuroda in a duel of pitchers who hadn’t lost since June. Mike Carp hit an RBI single in the second inning for Seattle, which bounced
back from having its sevengame winning streak ended the night before. The Yankees have lost 10 of 15. After Robinson Cano doubled with two outs in the first, Hernandez didn’t allow a runner to second. Only seven balls were even hit out of the infield — all to center until Derek Jeter flied out to right field for the second out of the ninth. Please see HERNANDEZ | 9A

rewarded with the finish they deserved, a World Series championship.” Leigh Hodum added, “From the first tournament of the season to the last game of the year, I knew these girls were champions. The word ‘defeat’ was not in their vocabulary. They proved it every time they would step on the field. “It did not matter if it was for one game or 23 innings straight, they would not quit until the job was done. Their hearts are why we are the World Series champions.” Coach Duncan summarized: “We have a remarkable team who has proven that practice, perseverance, and teamwork pays off. It is very gratifying to know that this team of local girls have played with class and dignity. “They have achieved tremendous success all season which ended with the impressive World Series championship title. I am beyond proud of these outstanding girls who have brought great pride to our area.” The team would like to say thank you to the coaches, parents, grandparents, and others who supported them this year.
HERNANDEZ CONTINUED FROM 8A
“Even on a Felix day, I still figured there’d be some better swings out there, and there were a couple balls hit hard, but that was outstanding,” Seattle shortstop Brendan Ryan said. “That changeup, it defies science.” It was the All-Star right-hander’s second shutout in five starts at the new Yankee Stadium. Hernandez has the ballpark’s lowest career ERA of any pitcher with at least two starts there. He lowered his ERA to 1.13 in the stadium that opened in 2009. He beat the Yankees 7-0 in the Bronx on June 30, 2010. On Saturday, he faced the top of the Yankees order in the ninth and retired Curtis Granderson, Jeter and Cano in order, fanning Cano to end the game in a breezy 2 hours, 32 minutes.

day night. He posted a season-best time of 45.44 seconds. “I’ve worked for six years ... to get my chance,” said the South African, who became the first amputee to compete on the track at an Olympics. “I found myself smiling in the starting block. Which is very rare in the 400 meters.” Team GB sent a charge through the capacity crowd with a quick series of victories, producing repeated roars that could be heard throughout Olympic Park. The victors: Jes-
sica Ennis in heptathlon; Greg Rutherford in men’s long jump; and Mo Farah in the men’s 10,000 meters. Three gold medals in about one hour for the host country — and the capper to a big British surge. The hosts pulled in two more golds on the final day of the Olympic regatta, and another in women’s pursuit at the London Velodrome. The U.S. men’s basketball team was pushed — and then some. Two days after running and gunning to a record-shattering 83-point win, the United States needed a strong finish from LeBron James to eke out a 99-94 victory over Lithuania.
The Americans trailed 84-82 with 5:50 to play, but James scored nine of his 20 points in the final four minutes to help the U.S. remain unbeaten. “You want to get tested. The best teams want to be tested. We love the competition,” James said. “I think we’ve got some of the greatest competitors in our league, in this world, so you want to have a game where you feel like you were tested, and we had that today.” Carmelo Anthony also had 20 points for the U.S. (4-0), which looked nearly invincible in thrashing Nigeria 15673 on Thursday night and breaking several records. Linas Kleiza scored
25 for Lithuania, which shot 58 percent and outrebounded the U.S. 4237. There was no such test for Serena Williams, who blew away the field at Wimbledon. The American star became only the second woman to achieve a Golden Slam, routing Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 in the most lopsided women’s final in Olympic history. The victory completed a remarkable run of domination by the No. 4-seeded Williams, who lost only 17 games in six matches en route to her first singles gold medal. She went 13-0 this summer at the All England Club, where she won her fifth Wimbledon title a
month ago. “I was so focused here,” she said. “I remember I was serving and I was thinking: ’Serena, this is your best chance to win a gold medal. You’re at Wimbledon, you’re on grass, you play great on grass, pull it together, just win this.’ And that’s what I thought about.” Top-seeded Bob and Mike Bryan also won Olympic gold for the U.S., beating Michael Llodra and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France 6-4, 7-6 (2) in the men’s doubles final. Roger Federer will try to complete a career Golden Slam when he plays Andy Murray of Britain in the men’s final Sunday.
couldn’t. Which one is going to be the best for us? It’s hard to say right now.” Brunetti started the opener against BYU last season, but wasn’t particularly effective and lost the job. He said he spent the summer making sure that won’t happen again if he’s given another opportunity. “There wasn’t a day I didn’t go into the film room,” Brunetti said. “There’s not a day I didn’t lift or throw or
run.” Ole Miss is also trying to strengthen a defense that gave up more than 32 points per game last season, which ranked last in the SEC. The Rebels were particularly bad against the run, giving up nearly 225 yards per game. “Sometimes a change of voice is a good thing,” Ole Miss linebacker Joel Kight said. “But at the end of the day — defense is defense. You’ve got
to be in correct position and you’ve got to be physical. We’ve got to take care of the little
things and be accountable. I think we’re very talented, but we’ve got to have some leadership.”

Mallie Kate Williams, far left, was granted a wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation in April. The 12 year-old is set to appear in an episode of the “Cake Boss” this fall. Submitted photos
Mallie Kate Williams, above, had her photo made with the Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, and his wife. A cake made with nail polish and eye mascara, left, was the project of Mallie Kate Williams during a taping of the reality show “Cake Boss.”
DREAM CONTINUED FROM 11A
granted the surprised junior high student a wish in April. Thinking she had won a spot in a cake decorating event at Bailey Station Elementary School in Collierville, Tenn., Williams was shocked to learn she would be filmed during an episode of the “Cake Boss” that airs on the TLC Network. “I had tears in my eyes,” she said after being told the decorating event was actually her reveal party. “It touched my life that someone that didn’t know who I was, would do something like that for me ... hopefully I can help someone else like that.” “Bailey Station is really involved in Make-A-Wish and grants one wish a year,” added Ginger. Meeting the Boss
Buddy Valastro -- the Cake Boss -- runs his family bakery in Hoboken, N.J. He and his staff at Carlo’s Bake Shop are featured every Monday night on TLC. “I wanted to be the Cake Boss ever since I saw a commercial,” said the former state reading fair champion. The Williams crew got to see all the sights and sounds in New York such as Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and the 9/11 Memorial. They spent four nights and five days in the Big Apple, touring the original bakery of Valastro's family and getting to try some real Italian pizza. “Make-A-Wish took care of every need,” said Ginger. Show time Mallie Kate was among 10 other wish children on the episode that will featured in the fall. All the children were
part of the World Wish Day -- which celebrates the first wish ever granted -- on April 29. Each youngster was allowed to choose what kind of cake they wanted to make and received help from Valastro's crew. Williams went with a project that featured finger nail polish and eye mascara. The 2010 state reading fair champion with Kaylin Lavender also was awarded an autographed apron, autographed photo of Valastro, photos with his staff along with a Wilton cooking case. “Buddy basically shut down his operation for the day to be with the kids,” said Ginger. The seventh-grade cheerleader has also been corresponding with Valastro via email.
“I told him I wanted to work for him someday,” she said. According to the youngster, the Cake Boss is holding her to the desire. Giving back The wish has given Mallie Kate even more desire to help others. “This has inspired me to trust Jesus in everything,” she said. “I want to support others who are going through what I have with advice or through help to find a cure.” “When she puts her mind to something, there is no stopping her,” said her mother. Ginger Williams is proud all of her children have a caring heart when it comes to others. “There is more to life than what you have,” said Ginger. “If I could instill
anything in them, it would be to help someone else … what Hayden and Mallie Kate have been through has made all of my children sensitive to the tough times others are going through.”
Mallie Kate has that down pat and she knows who to turn to when help is needed. “Never give up and always trust the Lord,” said the 12 year-old. “He has a plan for all of us.” J7NÂ<H;;Ã?DL;IJ?D= tqxÃ;:K97J?EDÃI7L?D=IÃFB7D <?N;:Ã?D9EC; I H;J?H;C;DJÃFB7DD?D=

The 11th Ohio Battery: a story of rebirth BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
There were about 46,000 men involved in the Battle of Corinth, which means there are 46,000 fascinating stories to tell. There are even more if you count all the tales from people like me who weren’t there. No, despite all the gray in my beard, and my co-workers, comments, I was not a participant. One of my favorite stories is about a unit that took a beating at the Battle of Iuka but got its own back at Corinth. It’s the story of the 11th Ohio Battery of Light Artillery. On Sept. 19, 1862, six guns of the unit were placed on a commanding ridge southwest of Iuka and the fighting they experienced is impossible to describe. I won’t even try. Out of 54 men serving the cannons, 48 were killed or wounded, and of the 80 horses, only three survived. The damage they inflicted on the attacking Confederates could be measured by the carnage found in the ravine in front of them. At one point, the cannons were overrun by the charging Southerners, but a Union counterattack took them back. Not to be denied, the Confederates surged forward and took the guns a second time. Capt. Cyrus Sears and his men refused to leave their guns and defended them with their rammers and their fists. Despite their heroic efforts, the cannons were captured. Unable to haul their prizes away, the Confederates “spiked” the guns by breaking off metal spikes in the vents. Why did they do that? With the vent blocked, the primer couldn’t be inserted, so the cannon was harmless. For his part in the gallant defense, the wounded Capt. Sears was later awarded the Medal of Honor. The location of this hallowed ground is easy to find. Head out to Iuka on U.S. Hwy 72 and turn north onto Mississippi Hwy 25. Take an immediate left into the parking lot of the Sunset Lodge and you have arrived. It
An old photograph depicts an artillery battery with all of the men, horses, cannon, limbers and caissons.
A caisson and limber. was on this piece of high ground and on the slopes below where so many men poured out their life’s blood into the soil of Mississippi. Despite all the concrete and asphalt, it really is a sacred place. After the battle, the 11th Ohio Battery was a wreck, but not for long. The senior officer still on his feet was Lt. Henry Neil and he was given the impossible job of returning the unit to fighting trim. Under normal circumstances a member of the battery would have returned to Ohio to recruit new men, but there was no time for this. Gen. Rosecrans allowed Neil to accept volunteers from the infantry regiments and in no time his roster was filled to normal. Putting the cannons
back into fighting condition was not as easy. A machinist was needed to remove the spikes from the vents, but that was the simple part. The carriages and wheels had been splintered by hundreds of bullets, and carpenters went to work replacing spokes and hubs. Leather workers got busy with all of the harnesses, while other men inventoried the remaining gear and drew replacements from the quartermasters. There was a slew of equipment needed before the guns could once again thunder — sponge rammers, thumb stalls, trail spikes, lanyards, trace chains, water buckets and oat bags. Hundreds of items. For every cannon that was put back in order, two limbers and a
caisson had to be repaired as well. What are those? A limber was a two-wheeled cart with an ammunition chest that the cannon was hooked to when it was being towed. A caisson was another two-wheeled cart, this one with two ammunition chests. While his gear was being replaced and restored, Neil began the task of training his new men how to fire the cannons. Even with all of the equipment in top condition, they couldn’t fire a shot if the men didn’t know what they were doing. The survivors of the Iuka fight taught the rookies and the lessons were repeated over and over again until each man knew his job and everyone else’s as well. By the evening of Oct. 1, the decimated battery was once again ready for action. It had taken Lt. Neil just 12 days to accomplish the impossible. The Confederates were once again on the march and the 11th Ohio Battery was needed in Corinth. Without waiting for an infantry escort, the unit set out on its own, disregarding the threat of enemy patrols and bands of roving guerillas. The battery was not called into action
the first day of battle, but on the 4th of October the unit was placed on the extreme right of the Union line guarding what was then called the Pittsburg Landing Road. It was on a bit of high ground supported by a brigade of infantry and ready to face the foe. They didn’t have to wait long. At about 10 a.m., the Confederates came out of the woods to their north. Opposite the Ohioans were men from Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. They were Col. Bruce Colbert’s Second Brigade, the very men who had captured the guns of the 11th Ohio at Iuka. The Rebel yell sounded through the woods as the Southerners charged forward. Neil later wrote, “As the mass approached I recognized them and called to the men: ‘Boys, these are the same troops that fought us at Iuka; are you going to let them touch the guns to-day?’ The yell of rage that went up was more ominous than a rebel yell ever tried to be.” Neil acted like a man possessed. He rode his horse out into the open and waved his sword over his head screaming at the
Confederates, “Come on! Come On! If you think you can play Iuka over again!” Three charges were made against the Union right but the line held firm. In other parts of the battlefield, the Confederates had some success, but not in front of the 11th Ohio Battery. “The men worked like tigers,” recalled Neil. “Each time they came so close that we resorted to double charges of canister and never a rebel reached the muzzles of our guns.” At Iuka the 11th Ohio kept their honor, but lost their guns. At Corinth they kept them both. Where did the 11th Ohio Battery make their stand and defend the Union right and their precious cannons? Go out to the old Corinth High School on 5th Street — the present day Corinth Middle School — not too far from the old “Warrior Stadium.” There was a time when other warriors fought on those grounds — warriors in blue and gray.

Showplace hides behind civic center’s modest exterior BY M. SCOTT MORRIS Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
CORINTH — The old days live in photographs and faded memories, but despite the sweep of time, some pieces of the past endure. The Coliseum Civic Center in downtown Corinth is one of those pieces. “It fools you on the outside,” said Rosemary Williams, who’s spent decades seeing to the Coliseum’s survival. “You don’t expect elegance.” It’s clear from the brick exterior that the building’s been around for a while. B.F. Liddon opened the Corinth Coliseum Theater on July 4, 1924, and people who walked through the front doors on that day encountered grandeur. “It was like nothing else, of course, around here,” said Alan Simmons, Liddon’s great-grandson. Imagine imported marble steps, along with marble wainscoting. Picture plaster florets and friezes on the walls, as well as intricate “egg and dart” crown moldings, and all of that comes before step-
ping into the main auditorium with its balconies, box seats and stainedglass lights. “They called them movie palaces for a reason,” Williams said. “It was an architectural masterpiece in a Mississippi small town.” Liddon created a showplace, where early audiences checked their coats on the way in then lost themselves in silent movies or live shows. “My great-grandfather did his own blueprints for it,” Simmons said, “and he built the whole thing as his own contractor.” Simmons said it appeared to be a risky venture. The building held just under 1,000 people, which was about onesixth of Corinth’s population at the time. Liddon’s gamble was met with standing-room crowds, and Simmons partially attributed its success to low ticket prices. “When people asked my great-grandfather about the prices, he said, ‘There are more dimes than quarters in Corinth,”’ Simmons said. The theater drew people from towns around Northeast Mississippi,
“It’s from a bygone era. That’s what keeps it so special. We will probably never see its like again.” Alan Simmons Grandson of B.F. Liddon, who opened the Corinth Coliseum Theater in1924 and it also benefited from Corinth’s crossroads’ nature, Williams said. “Corinth used to be a big railroad town,” she said. “There were hotels up and down the street. Actors came in to do vaudeville shows, or variety shows.” The Coliseum had an organ, so someone could play along to silent movies. It adapted over the decades, as “talkies” became the motion picture norm. It continued to entertain crowds through the ’30s, ’40, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. “Back in the 1960s, when I was 10 or 12 years old, they would show movies on Saturday afternoon,” said Tommy Ledbetter, Coliseum manager. “Most of the time they were ‘B’ horror movies, the old black and white scary movies. That’s what
I remember, old horror movies and a lot of westerns.” Progress caught up to the Coliseum in the late 1970s, when a twin cinema opened in Corinth. “People wanted to go to the new thing,” said Simmons, who inherited the building from his greatgrandfather in 1957 at the age of 5. Simmons sold the building in 1977. The new owner tried to keep it running, but the audience wasn’t there. The Coliseum was donated to Alcorn County in 1981. The story could’ve gone any number of directions from there. But those marble stairs and plaster friezes survived for today’s visitors thanks to the leadership of the Corinth Area Arts Council Inc. board of directors, which oversees the building.
Williams was building manager for nearly 30 years. During that time, a mix of grants and private donations helped fund the Coliseum’s restoration. The Mississippi Arts Commission’s Governor’s Award for the Arts recognized the arts council’s work, and the League of Historic American Theatres honored the council with a Historic Theatre Preservation Award. The building is on the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historic Places. “We tried to get it back to the original look from when it was built,” Ledbetter said. The building has new seats and updated lighting, and some of the flooring has been replaced. Because the screen and projector were removed, the Coliseum Civic Center had to relinquish its status as a “movie palace,” but the stage, fly loft and dressing room have been put to good use in recent years. “Corinth Theatre-Arts uses it for Christmas shows, and we bring in students from 20 to 30 schools,” said Ledbetter,
who also serves as managing director of CT-A. “We have a lot of gospel events and revivals. We had a couple of gospel plays last year.” The site has hosted weddings and receptions, and musicians have recorded in the venue because of Liddon’s practical genius. “The acoustics are great,” Ledbetter said. “You can stand on the stage and talk normally and people can hear it in the back. We’ve tested it.” Alcorn County provides money for a building manager and a janitor. Most of the maintenance and general upkeep is funded by rental fees. “It’s an old building, so there’s always something to fix,” Ledbetter said. “We keep a list. When we get the money, we do the next thing.” The past is never assured a place in the present. It’s natural for the old to make way for the new, but the Coliseum Civic Center remains an elegant survivor. “It’s from a bygone era,” Simmons said. “That’s what keeps it so special. We will probably never see its like again.”

Early migratory game bird seasons set The oppressive heat continuing into August along with the fishing action slowing down on area lakes make for one of the tougher times to be a sportsman. Recent information released by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks leaves plenty of optimism for better days ahead. The Mississippi Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks approved dates for the state’s 20122013 early hunting seasons for migratory game birds during its July meeting. Hunters in Mississippi will once again have the opportunity to partake in a 70-day season with a 15bird daily bag limit and a possession limit of 30 for mourning and white-

winged doves. Mississippi is divided into two zones to maximize hunting opportunities through-
out the state. The North Dove Zone, which includes this area, is defined as areas north of U.S. Hwy. 84 plus areas south of U.S. Hwy 84 and west of State Hwy. 35. Season dates for the North Zone are: Sept. 1 through Sept. 23, Oct. 13 through Nov. 11, and Dec. 15 through Dec. 31. The South Dove Zone is defined as areas south of U.S. Hwy. 84 and east of State Hwy. 35. Season
dates for these areas are: Sept. 1-9, Oct. 6 through Nov. 11, and Dec. 21 through Jan. 13. Other notable seasons scheduled to make their debut in September are the early teal season and the season for Canada geese. The early teal season runs from Sept. 15-30 with a bag limit of 4 per day not exceeding more than 8 in possession, and the resident Canada geese season opens on Sept. 1 and goes through Sept. 15 with a bag limit of 5 with no more than 10 in possession. The season for rails, moorhens and gallinules is Sept. 22-Nov. 30. Daily bag limits for clapper rails, king rails, moorhens and gallinules is 15 singly or in aggregate, and the possession limit is double
the daily limit. Daily bag limits for Virginia rails and sora rails is 25 singly or combined, and the possession limit is the same. Duck season finished with mixed reviews last season, depending on the locale and part of the state being hunted. A lot of hunters did well in the Delta region, while many locally had a dismal season. According to a study conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, hunters have good reason to be optimistic for a better upcoming duck season. The survey indicated North American breeding waterfowl populations increased 7 percent from 2011 to just over 48 million birds. Population estimates
for eight of the ten surveyed duck species increased this year. Mallard numbers went up 15 percent from last year to 10.6 million birds. Green-winged teal and scaup showed the highest increases, 20 and 21 percent, respectively. The American widgeon, canvasback and gadwall populations increased only slightly. The survey conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last year showed a healthier than normal population of ducks, but the numbers didn’t necessarily materialize into better hunting for most local hunters. Then again, as it was for most of the country, there was no winter last year. Good duck hunting is dependent on the
weather, food and water availability. The stage is already set. If the states to our extreme north has an unusually cold winter and since the states to our west and Midwest has experienced severe drought, area hunters could see a boom in the number of ducks flogging them this fall. That is, if everything falls into place. (Daily Corinthian columnist and Alcorn County resident David Green is an avid hunter and fisherman in the Crossroads area.

‘Dog days of summer’ — what does that saying mean? BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Conservation Corner
While growing up in the Mississippi Delta, I was accustomed to hearing the saying that we were in “the dog days of summer.� I just knew we were in the hot days of summer. I heard it again recently and began to wonder what the phrase actually meant. After doing some research, this is what I found. In ancient times, when the night sky was not obscured by artificial lights and smog, different groups of peoples in different parts of the world drew images in the sky by “connecting the dots� of stars. They saw images
of bears (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor), twins (Gemini), a bull (Taurus) and others, including dogs (Canis Major and Canis Minor). The brightest of the stars in Canis Major (the big dog) is Sirius, which also happens to be the brightest star in the night sky. In fact, it is so bright that the ancient Romans thought that the earth received heat from it. In the summer, however, Sirius, the “dog star,� rises and sets with the sun. During late July Sirius is in conjunction with the sun, and the ancients believed that its heat added to the heat of the sun, creating a stretch of hot and sultry weather.
The conjunction of Sirius with the sun varies somewhat with latitude. And the “precession of the equinoxes� (a gradual drifting of the constellations over time) means that the constellations today are not in exactly the same place in the sky as they were in ancient Rome. Today, dog days occur during the period between July 3 and August 11. They named this period of time, from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after, “dog days� after the “dog star.� The conjunction of Sirius with the sun varies somewhat with latitude.
And the “precession of the equinoxes� (a gradual drifting of the constellations over time) means that the constellations today are not in exactly the same place in the sky as they were in ancient
Rome. Today, dog days occur during the period between July 3 and August 11. Although it is certainly the warmest period of the summer, the heat is not due to the added radiation from a far-away star, regardless of its brightness. It is a direct result of the earth’s tilt. If you ask some of your friends, you will usually find that many people believe the phrase is in reference to the conspicuous laziness of domesticated dogs (who are in danger of overheating with too much exercise) during the hottest days of the summer. When speaking of “dog days� there seems to be
a connotation of lying or “dogging� around, or being “dog tired� on these hot and humid days. Although these meanings have nothing to do with the original source of the phrase, they may have been attached to the phrase in recent years due to common usage or misunderstanding of the origin of the phrase.

Couple remarries 48 years after divorce BY CAROLYN THOMPSON Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. — They got hitched while still in their teens, divorced 20 years and four children later, and are getting remarried after nearly a half-century apart. For Lena Henderson and Roland Davis, both 85 years old, the second time around is finally here. The couple got married again Saturday with four generations on hand to see it happen. “It’s every child’s dream, every child who has ever been in a family where divorce has occurred, that your parents would come back together,” said their youngest daughter, Renita Chadwick.
“We are all so ridiculously excited. We’re like little children again,” said Chadwick, herself a grandmother. Henderson and Davis met as teenagers in Chattanooga, Tenn., and were married by a justice of the peace. There was no reception or honeymoon. “Oh no,” Henderson recalled with a laugh. “He went to work and I went home.” Davis was a hotel bellhop at the time, about to begin a career in the military. This time around, a church wedding was planned at Elim Christian Fellowship Church in Buffalo followed by a reception at an Amherst restaurant. Still no honeymoon

trip, though. “I’m just happy that we’re here,” said Davis, who recently moved to suburban Buffalo from Colorado, where he was living alone following the death of his second wife in January. Henderson also was widowed after remarrying. Davis proposed to Henderson over the phone around Easter and she accepted, even though they hadn’t seen each other since a family funeral in 1996. Before that, the two hadn’t been face-to-face since splitting up in 1964, though they had stayed in touch and kept up with each other’s lives through the children. Their oldest daughter, Johnnie Mae Funderbirk,
had been urging her father to return to New York since his wife’s death. Davis was receptive, especially to the idea of reconnecting with Henderson. “I had always kind of had that in mind, mostly because of the children,” he said. “You never forget someone that you cared for at one time or another.” Henderson and Davis both said it was “nice” to see one another again, this time as an engaged couple. The children are less reserved. “I’m as excited as some 9-year-old whose parents are getting back together,” Funderbirk said, “and I’m 65 years old.”
DEAR ABBY: I’m becoming increasingly concerned about my wife, “Traci,” and her influence over our 3-yearold son, “Grant.” I love having a son, as does Traci, although she always wanted a girl. Over the last few months, Traci has been buying Grant more and more feminine clothing. I’m OK with a pink shirt now and then, but lately it has gotten out of hand. My wife says not to take it so seriously, but it bothers me when people tell us we have a “lovely little girl.” I’m worried that what my wife is doing will have an adverse effect on my son, but I need to know if I’m overreacting. -- IT’S A BOY! DEAR IT’S A BOY!: My experts tell me that there is no data that demonstrates what your wife is doing will cause gender confusion in your son. What’s important is that you talk to her and express your concerns privately. Your little boy is at an age where he can sense stress in your marriage, and that could cause him problems. DEAR ABBY: I’m dating a man who is genuine, considerate, thoughtful, humble, responsible, and we have great physical chemistry. Unfortunately, there is no intellectual/social “connection.” We have never had an intellectually stimulating conversation, and I’m not sure he’s even someone I would have picked to be friends with, although we do share interests in the outdoors and our faith. I keep wondering if I’m being overly critical or choosing to stay in a relationship out of fear of not finding someone better in time to start a family. Please advise. -- INDECISIVE IN PLEASANTON, CALIF. DEAR INDECISIVE: To be frank, no one person has “everything.” If intellectual stimula-
tion is the quality that’s m o s t important to you, then Abigail the man Van Buren you have b e e n Dear Abby dating isn’t the one for you. The fine qualities you listed would weigh heavily in his favor with many women. What you must ask yourself is whether or not you can be with him and find intellectual stimulation elsewhere when you feel you need it. DEAR ABBY: I have four grown children between the ages of 21 and 25. For years I had a career, supported them financially and put them through college and trade schools. I remarried last January. My youngest daughter now says my kids are no longer No. 1 in my life and she will no longer speak to me. I told her my husband and my children will always be No. 1. She’s having a baby soon and hasn’t included me in her life since January. I’m torn between getting on with my life or trying to reach out to her every now and then. She has blocked me on Facebook and changed her cellphone number. Any suggestions? -- TORN IN TUCSON DEAR TORN: Get on with your life. On her birthday and at Christmas, send cards to let her know you love her and are thinking of her. When she needs you for something, she’ll contact you. Until then, don’t hold your breath. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Olympics inspire list of Queen Elizabeth II movies BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic
LOS ANGELES — Queen Elizabeth II became an unofficial Bond girl over the weekend after parachuting out of a helicopter with Daniel Craig during the lavish opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Well, not really. It was all a bit of movie trickery, courtesy of director Danny Boyle, who oversaw the Friday night spectacle. But the real-life queen did take part in a scene full of drama and action alongside Craig, who escorted her from Buckingham Palace in classic, tuxedoclad style in character as James Bond. It was an unexpectedly sly side of the normally reserved royal, who celebrated
her Diamond Jubilee last month to mark her 60 years on the throne. Queen Elizabeth II has been portrayed only a few times in major films, but they’ve been indelible. So start working on your curtsey ‘cause here we go: ■ “The Queen” (2006): Helen Mirren was positively withering in a performance that earned her a well-deserved Academy Award for best actress. Director Stephen Frears’ film depicts the week after Princess Diana’s death, and how the royal family responded to it — or rather, how they tried to ignore it. Mirren gave a subtle, stinging and eventually sympathetic portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II during this tumultuous time, showing real vulnerability as the queen
struggled to find the right tone. And Peter Morgan’s wry, observant script provided an intimate glimpse inside this rarefied realm. ■ “The King’s Speech” (2010): The winner of four Oscars including best picture features Queen Elizabeth II as a little girl, when she was still a princess and went by the nickname Lilibet. The film shows the future queen (portrayed by Freya Wilson), the daughter of King George VI (Oscar-winner Colin Firth), in a few glimpses at home during the 1930s. Britain is about to enter World War II and Bertie, as the king was known, is about to give the biggest speech of his life, which the lifelong stutterer pulls off with the help of his irrepressible therapist and friend,
played by Geoffrey Rush. The presence of Elizabeth and her sister helps humanize Bertie and gives him strength during the challenging time. ■ “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” (1988): Queen Elizabeth II is a crucial figure in this first film in the “Naked Gun” series of spoofs. She’s the target of an assassination attempt, and the intrepid Lt. Frank Drebin (the late, great Leslie Nielsen) must foil this deadly plot at a baseball game between the Angels and Mariners (which, weirdly, is being played at Dodger Stadium). The Queen (played by Jeannette Charles) enjoys American culture by throwing out the first pitch and even taking part in The Wave.
But once Reggie Jackson (who’s been programmed to kill her) starts making his way robotically over to her box, gun in hand, it’s up to Frank to save the day. ■ “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002): Jeannette Charles’ resemblance to Elizabeth II has allowed her to carve out an unexpected niche career as an actress: She’s played the monarch repeatedly over the past four decades. Besides the first “Naked Gun” movie, Charles also played the queen in the third and final “Austin Powers” movie, the one in which Austin travels back to 1975 and meets up with old flame Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles). But before that, to reward Austin for finally nabbing
Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, the queen makes him a knight. “Your father must be very proud,” she says. But Austin is disappointed to discover that the famous Nigel Powers isn’t there for his son’s big day. ■ “National Lampoon’s European Vacation” (1985): Here’s Charles again in this slapsticky, inferior sequel to the 1983 hit “National Lampoon’s Vacation.” The Griswolds are the ugly Americans wherever they go. But Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) imagines greater things during a dream sequence in which a bored, yawning Queen Elizabeth II suddenly brightens up when she sees her and Clark (Chevy Chase) in a reception line. It’s hugs and air kisses all around — then she wakes up.
Country duo Love and Theft making a new start, yet again (Editor’s Note: Love and Theft was the main stage act scheduled for Saturday night at this year’s Slugburger Festival, but heavy rain canceled the performance.) BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The members of country duo Love and Theft view the last few years as addition by subtraction. First, they lost their record label. Then Brian Bandas, the third member of their trio, quit. But with a new deal with Sony Music Nashville imprint RCA Nashville and a single chugging up the charts, Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles love their new lives. “We’re both on the
same page,” Liles said. “We’re way closer friends than either of us were with Brian. We musically have the same influences. We have the same goals and visions with what we want to do with our band.” “And let’s be honest,” Gunderson joked, “it doesn’t take a genius to realize that if you split money two ways instead of three ways, you make more money.” You can’t blame Gunderson, 27, and Liles, 28, for feeling nervous upon the release of their self-titled second album, which came out last week. They’ve been to this point before and had everything fall apart — twice. Originally signed by Disney Music Group to
Carolwood Records, that imprint was shuttered just a few months after the release of their debut album, “World Wide Open.” They moved to Disney’s Lyric Street, which was already home to another trio you might have heard of, Rascal Flatts. That label closed in 2010, leaving the band to start over from scratch. They didn’t even have the rights to re-record their own music. “At the time, we were like (the closure) is awesome,” Gunderson said. “We don’t have to pay anything back. We can go get a fresh start and we’ve already done all the legwork. But then we kind of realized, oh, it’s really not as easy as we thought it would be to go find a label
Horoscopes SUNDAY, AUGUST 5, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
The day gets off to a slow start as the Pisces moon goes void-of-course inducing a spacey, ethereal mood. Those who have the luxury of staying in the cozy warmth of dreams and bed for as long as possible will get the most out of the morning. The arrival of the Aries moon later in the day brings a fresh infusion of vigor. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today is mostly about strengthening certain relationships while distancing yourself from the ties that either don’t add much to -- or seem to subtract something from -- your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Wherever you go, you will long to feel at home. It may take more than the usual efforts to get comfortable. An excellent host will earn a place in your heart. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When your problems get pushy, instead of pushing back, take a break to visit dreamland. Your dreams will float you above the situation, and from that aerial view, you will see options you couldn’t see from the ground. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re having fun, why cut yourself off? Let the fun play out to its natural conclusion. Who says success has to be all suffering, sweat and sacrifices? If you’re enjoying yourself, you’re winning. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Relationships get complicated temporarily. Writing about people you know will help you to understand them better and put you in touch with your own
feelings about them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll enjoy an increased amount of control over people’s perception of you. You’ll hold back instead of rushing forward. You’re building a mystery with all you keep in reserve. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s always fun to know what you want and go for it in a big way. The object of today’s journey has a glittery appeal, and yet it will quickly wash out against the brightness of the journey itself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll relate cautiously to others, partly due to your mood and partly because you sense that there is more to some people than they want you to know. Proceed observantly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fame and power are not your goals now, though they may come as a byproduct of your passion and dedication to the goal. You’re more appealing because you don’t care to whom you appeal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll learn quickly because you’re not worried about having to get things right the first time. Nothing is forced. You simply allow your mind to absorb new knowledge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you are engaged in what interests you the most, and that interest continues to feed you, it’s love. Right now, this kind of love could be a stronger force in your life than romantic love with another person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Drive is not a function of I.Q. Acquiring wealth has less to do with intelligence than it does inspiration. You will be as wealthy as you are inspired.

home.” Executives at Sony had looked closely at the band early on and were again interested in signing a deal last year. But on the day the offer came through, Bandas called Gunderson and Liles and told them he was quitting. They weren’t about to give up, though, and tried to convince label executives they were still viable as a duo. As it turns out, Sony agreed. “I think when you hear Stephen’s and Eric’s voices together that’s the answer right there,” Sony Music Nashville President and CEO Gary Overton said. When Overton first heard the group’s work as a trio, he said he liked
the music but didn’t know who was singing what part. As a duo, Liles and Gunderson still trade off on vocals — sometimes mid-song — but there was something more distinctive about Love and Theft’s newest incarnation. “They love to perform,” Overton said. “And I talked to our radio staff here and they said they checked them out at radio and radio loves them. But really it just comes down to that music piece. I spent a little time with those guys and I told them I don’t care if you’re a duo or a trio or anything else, it’s just what I love. And they have not disappointed.” Fans have responded, making lead single “An-
gel Eyes” into a top five hit that’s approaching No. 1 and gold sales status. They’re making the rounds on television, supporting Brad Paisley on tour and doing all the things they thought they’d be doing three years ago. Yet, they admit they’re having difficulty getting past the feeling that something catastrophic might happen any minute. “Definitely, after what we’ve been through,” Liles said. “We thought we were out of the tunnel three or four times. We’re a little more protective, but we do feel pretty good. We do feel like we’re on top of something.” Online: http://www.loveandtheft.com
