Hospital implements new rules to combat growing flu outbreak BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
A flu outbreak has caused Magnolia Regional Health Center to carry out several strategies recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In order to contain the illness, the hospital is asking visitors for their help. Visitors are being asked to limit themselves to one per patient at a time. In an effort to limit the number of visitors, one family member should be designated to visit and/or stay with a patient. “It appears the 2012-2013 flu season may be more severe than last year,” said Dr. Gene Combest, vice president for medical affairs at the hospital. “If a person develops a flu-like illness, it is important for them to avoid contact with others.” Children under the age of 14 should not visit the hospital, according MRHC officials. Those who have been ill with symptoms of the flu are also urged to not visit. “To protect patients, coworkers, visitors and them-
selves, hospital and clinic staff who have not received the flu vaccine are being asked to wear masks,” said Combest. Symptoms of the flu include fever, chills, muscle aches, and cough. All symptoms may not be present in every case. To prevent the spread of the illness, everyone is encouraged to wash hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer frequently. Because the flu is airborne, the mouth and nose should be covered completely when coughing or sneezing. Tissues should be disposed of in the trash. “Vaccination continues to be the best prevention,” added Combest. “Although it may take up to two weeks after receiving the vaccine for it to be effective, the flu typically continues to occur until March, so it’s not too late to get the shot.” An adequate supply of the vaccine remains in the area, according to MRHC. “It is important for children Please see MRHC | 2A

House fire injures man, baby Man drops child to safety before collapsing inside home BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Before collapsing, unconscious, a man dropped a baby out a window of a burning Corinth home Friday night. The fire at 1803 E. Fifth St. between North Parkway and
Meeks was reported at 10:53 p.m., and firemen arrived at the scene to find the house fully involved, with fire coming from the front door, windows and kitchen area, said Assistant Fire Chief John Wood. People at the scene told firemen a man
was still inside. A baby, whose name and an age were not on record, had already been dropped out a window and taken to the hospital. After speaking with bystand-

The Harrells met 38 years ago at the information desk of the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Subsequent work with the National Park Service took them to Chickamauga Battlefield, Manassas Battlefield, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the south rim of the Grand Canyon. They first came to the Shiloh area in the fall of 1990. In 2003, they moved from Hardin County to Corinth to be closer to the new Civil War Interpretive Center and Cynthia’s work as executive director of the Crow’s Neck Environmental Education Center. With two grown sons, as “empty nesters” the Harrells have been able to indulge in their passion for travel, pursuing Woody’s goal of visiting all 398 units of the National Park System and also making memPlease see ADVENTURE | 3A

“A lot of people will be getting ready for the Super Bowl in a few weeks and planning to have people over,” said Tim Alvis, director of the Bread of Life. “As they get together, we want them to remember those less fortunate.”
The Boys & Girls Club is looking for phenomenal women, and the input of the community is needed. “The club is asking the public to help fill our 2013 Phenomenal Woman award calendar,” said unit director Christy Grice. “Individuals can nominate a deserving female community leader of their choice who inspires, educates and empowers other women and young girls to go beyond mediocrity and create excellence in their lives.” Grice started the program last year with a woman highlighted each month. A Phenomenal Woman of the Year was named from the 12 monthly winners at a gala last May. “The award celebrates women who have made outstanding contributions to our community,” added Grice.

ers, Lt. Chris Duncan learned where the man, identified as Don Pruitt, had last been seen and used an axe to get into the window. “The room was hot and heavily smoked up,” said
Wood. “He found the man not too far from the window and was able to push him to the window where firemen could pull him out.” The man was unconscious and was taken from the scene by ambulance. He was later taken
to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tenn. The extent of his injuries was unknown, Wood said. No one else was in the residence, and firemen extinguished the blaze after removing Pruitt. The fire department was at
the scene for a little more than three hours. The shell of the yellow, wood frame home remained standing Saturday morning, Wood said the cause of the fire is undetermined, and a state fire marshal will visit the scene on Monday.

Alvis would like people to remember by purchasing an extra can of soup or chili and donating it to the Bread of Life. “We are low and somewhat depleted after the holidays,” said the director. “I know times are tough for a lot of people, but I believe most can afford one extra can of food a week, and if they can’t they need to come see us on Thursday.” The only thing the ministry can’t take is home-canned items. The director is asking those who would like to donate during the drive to drop off non-perishable food items at Tate Baptist Church. Items can be dropped off Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Although the drive goes through the first weekend in February, donations are welcome at other times. “We appreciate donations any time, but this is something we are doing since it’s time for the Super Bowl,” said Alvis. “We just need to restock our shelves.” Bread of Life delivers the word of God along with food each Thursday at Tate Baptist. The service begins at 10 a.m.
with the sign-in deadline being 10:30 a.m. Food is distributed in three different categories. There is an amount for a family of 1-2, 3-4 and 5-plus, according to Alvis. “This isn’t a Baptist thing or for people who go to church,” said Alvis. “It’s a ministry for anyone, and there is no requirement for them to come here.” Last year, Bread of Life had 846 families visit while providing food for 2,853. “The past year was the biggest one I can remember,” said the director. Over the past five years, the ministry has had 3,185 visits from families and 12,445 individuals fed both physically and spiritually. “The best part for me is the 269 professions of faith during that time,” said Alvis. An even bigger year is expected in 2013 by Alvis, meaning more donations will be needed. “We can wish people well all the time and tell them we are praying for them, but if we don’t help what good have we done?,” said Alvis. For more information about helping the Bread of Life Ministry call Alvis at 731-645-2806.

Free Flynn on the fattening board BY JIMMY REED That fall day Boss was short a driver. The Mississippi Delta’s weather during gathering time had been as good as the cotton harvest, but now rain was coming, and the dead stalks had to be cut before it arrived, meaning two drivers must operate the stalk cutter tractor night and day. Remembering years when fall rains halted stalk cutting and delayed spring planting, Boss knew he must find a night driver. Then Flynn showed up, offering to work for free, if he was provided housing and food. “What a stroke of luck, Ned,” Boss said to his manager. Ned distrusted Flynn. He’d once worked a man with cold, shark eyes like Flynn’s, a backstabber who would do anything to better himself at others’ expense.
“I’ll teach him to operate the stalk cutter,” Ned replied. “Will he eat on the fattening board?” Boss nodded. The plantation hands called Miss Lena’s table the fattening board. Boss’ wife was the best cook ever to light a stove. True to his word, Flynn drove sundown to sunup, and Boss was mighty pleased when the stalk cutter tractor pulled into the shop just ahead of a heavy rain, with not a stalk left standing anywhere … so pleased he agreed to let Flynn stay on. For once Boss didn’t see trouble coming. He liked this newcomer with a knack for saying what he wanted to hear and he liked how Flynn offered snippets of information about other hands -- about how they didn’t do all they were supposed to do or used farm equipment for personal reasons. Those who had worked
on the farm for years were dismayed that “Free Flynn,” as they called him, could enter the farm office any time — even when Boss wasn’t there, something they weren’t allowed to do. And, he was still eating on the fattening board! Ned noticed the demoralizing influence Flynn was having on these loyal farm hands and determined to get rid of the impostor — but he didn’t have to. When he saw Boss’ panicked face, he knew what happened. Flynn had robbed the vault in the office and was long gone. But Ned was no fool. He’d anticipated Flynn’s plan. The box in the vault marked “Stocks, Bonds, Deeds, Cash” was missing, but not its contents. Like Flynn, Ned knew where Boss hid the vault’s combination and had removed the box’s contents. When Ned handed over
the priceless possessions, Boss collapsed in relief. That night as Boss and Lena were eating supper and watching the news, they saw a fettered, frowning Flynn being shoved into a sheriff’s car. “It’s never too late to learn in life, Lena,” the old man said to his wife. “I favored that thieving phony above those who’ve proven their loyalty, and in so doing almost broke this farm. Henceforth, I’ll listen to doers, not talkers.” Smiling, Miss Lena glanced at the thief’s empty seat and said, “You’re not the only one who’s glad to be rid of ‘Free Flynn on the fattening board.’” (Oxford resident and Daily Corinthian columnist Jimmy Reed is a newspaper columnist, author and college professor.

McNairy sheriff seeks school resource officers BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian
McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck made a presentation to the McNairy County Board of Education Thursday about his proposal to have school resource officers in the schools. Buck hopes to have one officer in each of the eight schools in the county by the opening of the 2013-2014 school year. The school board members approved support of Buck’s proposal to allow him to carry the endorsement to Monday’s
McNairy County Board of Commissioners meeting. Buck will make the same presentation to the county commissioners at their meeting on Monday, Jan. 14. “I was pleased the school board was supportive of our efforts to get school resource officers,” said Buck. “We hope the various committees from the county commission will try to help us find the funding.” Buck has estimated it would cost $42,000 a year per officer. The sheriff makes it plain that figure
includes the complete cost of salary, insurance, uniform and vehicle for each officer. There are eight schools in McNairy County. The sheriff said he would like to see the Law Enforcement, Budget and Education committees from the county commission to find a way to get the funding to implement the officers by the start of the new school year in August. Buck said using volunteers as school resource officers would not be feasible because of their lack of
training and background checks. “It would be a nightmare to do background checks and the other qualifications needed for a volunteer to be school resource officer,” said Buck. “I would want the officers to have the same training as our deputies.” If the funding is supplied for the next year’s budget for the officers there would be a “memorandum of understanding” between the school system and sheriff’s department about the direction of the program.
Reeves proposes armed guards in schools BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves is proposing a $7.5 million program to help schools hire trained and armed law enforcement officers to work on campus. Reeves said Friday that the plan is a direct response to last month’s slayings at an elementary
school in Newtown, Conn., and he’ll ask lawmakers to approve it this session. Individual schools could apply for $10,000 from the state, and the schools would have to spend at least that much themselves. Reeves said if the plan is popular, lawmakers could expand it later. The $7.5 million would cover 750 of the roughly 1,050 public
school campuses. He said 369 officers are already working in schools, some splitting their time among multiple campuses. His plan would not make the hiring of officers mandatory. Rather, it would make money available if schools want to apply. “The decision to have an officer or not is ultimately going to be made at the lo-
cal level,” Reeves said. Reeves said he also wants Mississippi courts to report to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System database when a court finds a person mentally incompetent or commits a person to a mental institution or when someone either pleads guilty or is found guilty of a crime because of insanity.

Corinth, Miss.
Hagel’s troubling attitude on American defense Biography isn’t policy. President Obama’s choice for secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel, former Nebraska Republican senator, has a resume most politicians can envy: a clean senatorial record, no ethical lapses and two purple hearts from a war many opposed and many more tried to avoid. Some think Hagel’s 2006 comment about “the Jewish lobby” should disqualify him, believing it a code word for anCal ti-Semitic sentiments. There Thomas is nothing wrong with criticizing the policies of any Israeli Columnist government. Israelis likely do this more than foreigners. It’s just that Jews are rightly sensitive to the use of words like these because it may mean the person using them wishes to put the nation and policies of Israel on an equal footing with Israel’s enemies who have vowed to destroy it. Recall the remark former Secretary of State James Baker reportedly made in a private conversation with colleagues and you see what I mean. “F--- the Jews,” Baker supposedly said, “they don’t vote for us anyway.” Baker was no friend of Israel, frequently siding with Palestinian positions. Hagel will likely be confirmed, but that should not mean Republican senators must roll over and relinquish their constitutional power of “advice and consent.” Of even greater concern than Hagel’s apparent attitude toward the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, is what he thinks about American defense in an increasingly tumultuous world. Yes, the defense budget is “bloated,” as Hagel has said, but does that mean the best solution is to dismember it? In an interview with the Financial Times last fall, Hagel said, “I think the Pentagon needs to be pared down. I don’t think that our military has really looked at themselves strategically, critically, in a long, long time.” Maybe not, but outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, when it appeared that the just averted “fiscal cliff” might bring $600 billion in cuts to defense, indicated that defense budget cuts that large would bring “dire consequences” to national security. In remarks to the American Iranian Council, June 2001, Hagel said, “The national security of the United States is not served by isolating Iran.” He also opposed sanctions against Libya and was one of just two senators who voted against renewing sanctions on both countries. At the Council on Foreign Relations in 2005, Hagel said, “Any lasting solution to Iran’s nuclear weapons program will also require the United States’ direct discussions with Iran.” A private letter to President George W. Bush also urged the pursuit of “direct, unconditional and comprehensive talks” with Iran. In 2007, Hagel voted against an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill that labeled the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. Also in 2007, Hagel said, “The Palestinian people have been chained down for many, many years.” Whose fault is that? If he suggests Israel is to blame for their situation, he either misunderstands history or accepts the propaganda of the “Islamist lobby.” In his 2008 book, “America: Our Next Chapter,” Hagel wrote, “Regime change (in Iran) should not be our objective.” He did allow that getting rid of Iran’s fanatical leadership might be desirable. According to the Boston Globe, Hagel and a number of former senior U.S. officials and one current adviser, sent a letter to Barack Obama days before he took office asking him to “talk with leaders of Hamas to determine whether the militant group can be persuaded to disarm and join a peaceful Palestinian government...” Hamas leaders have pledged to eradicate Israel. U.S. policy has been that Hamas must first renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept all previous agreements signed by Palestinian leaders, which they, in fact, have not done. There’s one more. In 1999, Hagel was the only U.S. senator not to sign a letter condemning anti-Semitism in Russia. Republican and even some Democratic senators should question Hagel about all this and more during confirmation hearings. It’s their job and responsibility.

A verse to share How are they to believe in a Saviour of whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? — Romans 10:14 (NRSV)
An analysis of America’s coming gun war Eight days after the massacre of 20 first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary, where each child was shot with a Bushmaster .223, The Nation’s Gun Show, the biggest east of the Mississippi, opened. “A line already snaked around the building shortly after the three-day event began at 3 p.m., and the parking lot was jammed” at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Va., wrote Justin Jouvenal of The Washington Post: “With an AK-47 slung over one shoulder, Marco Hernandez offered one word when asked why he was in the overflow crowd at the gun show.” “Obama,” he said. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the possible gun ban.” The weapon most in demand at Chantilly? The AR-15 black rifle, a version of which was used to slaughter the innocents in Newtown. At Chantilly, their price doubled in hours to $1,800. Gun stores have sold out their inventory. Yet for weeks after Sandy Hook, journalists and politicians from the president to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who were making the case for a new assault weapons ban, dominated the airwaves. Those calling for reinstatement of the ban that
was in effect from 1994 to 2004 had the national audience almost entirely to themselves. The NaPat Buchanan tional Rifle Association Columnist was largely silent. Not until nine days after Newtown did the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre appear on “Meet the Press” to be subjected to hostile interrogation. Yet, from the record gun sales in December, and 2012 — there were 16.8 million calls to the FBI for background checks for gun purchases last year — the elites have lost the argument with the audience that counts. They have failed to convince those who buy guns. Just as East Berliners, before the Wall was built, voted with their feet, fleeing west, Americans are voting with their checkbooks, paying hundreds and thousands of dollars to buy the guns liberals loathe. The reflexive response of the gun controllers is to blame this on that malevolent force, the gun lobby, at whose apex is the NRA. Today, we Americans are a far more heavily armed people than half a century ago. Forty-seven percent of
adult males own a firearm. There are 270 million rifles, shotguns and pistols in private hands. Are they for hunting? Not according to the Financial Times. “The number of hunters fell from 16.6 million in 1975 to 12.5 million in 2006, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.” The FT notes that Freedom Group, owner of Bushmaster, has estimated that while “total sales of long guns to U.S. consumers rose at an annual rate of just 3 percent during 20072011, modern sporting rifles grew at an annual rate of 27 percent.” Last year, sporting rifle sales doubled. The number of rifles like the AR-15 in private hands has probably tripled since the assault weapons ban expired. The NRA’s David Keene estimates the number now at above 3 million. Who owns these weapons? Half are owned by veterans and cops. Writes Keene: “Nearly 90 percent of those who own an AR-15 use it for recreational target shooting; 51 percent of AR owners are members of shooting clubs and visit the range regularly; the typical AR owner is not a crazed teenage psychopath, but a 35-plus-year-old, married and has some college
education.” Many gun controllers not only do not understand what motivates those who disagree with them. For given the loosening of gun laws at the state level in recent years, the gun controllers no longer have the numbers to impose their will on the folks who have a love for, or feel a need for, guns. To most Americans, an armed guard in a school is a good idea in our too-violent nation. Most Americans realize that when shooting breaks out in a gun-free zone — a school, movie theater, mall — the first call goes to 911 to get cops with Glocks and a SWAT team with black rifles there as soon as possible. Most folks understand why air marshals on planes might have to be armed. Most folks know that the people running up the death toll in murder capitals like Chicago are not using AR15s. And many Americans yet accept that in the last analysis it is a man’s duty to be the defender and protector of his wife and children. Human nature will ultimately triumph over ideology.

Hagel puts country ahead of conquest BY ROGER SIMON “They’re already saying Chuck Hagel may be unwilling to send troops into a warzone needlessly,” David Letterman said a few nights ago. “What kind of a nut job is he?” Letterman hit on one of Hagel’s chief appeals as Barack Obama’s nominee to become secretary of defense: Hagel doesn’t believe in needless wars or endless wars or wars as our first choice. And, in that, both he and the president match the public mood perfectly. Iraq has been a calamity, pouring precious U.S. lives and dollars into a war over mythical weapons of mass destruction. Does anybody still doubt that George W. Bush wanted to believe in those weapons because he wanted to finish off the dictator that his father had failed to remove? Our invasion of Afghanistan was certainly justified, but we are still fighting there long after our legitimate objective has been accomplished: the crippling of al-Qaida’s ability to strike at the American homeland and the destruction of alQaida’s top leadership. But we have remained in

Afghanistan to build it into an American suburb, where everybody will think like we do about human and civil rights. It is a worthy but dream-like goal, and all we have really accomplished is to prop up a corrupt and unpopular regime in Kabul. If that echoes Vietnam to you, it should. Hagel was a sergeant in Vietnam, a squad leader in the 9th Infantry Division, where he was awarded two Purple Hearts. He, like Obama’s nominee for secretary of state, John Kerry, learned valuable lessons over there: Be careful about feeding the meat grinder. The butcher’s bill is always going to be higher than you think. And the members of Congress who bravely vote to fund our wars don’t have to fight in them. Here is Hagel in an interview last year with Robert Nolan, an editor at the Foreign Policy Association: “One of the reasons we’re in trouble in Afghanistan is because we went well beyond our mission. We accomplished the mission, then we took our eye off the ball and intervened, invaded and occupied Iraq. And now, 12 years later, we’re
not sure what our mission is. ... We always learn. They’re tough lessons to learn. Vietnam was a tough lesson for us to learn.” Even though Hagel is a Republican, some Republican hawks read those words and shudder. How can we have a defense secretary who does not want more and more money to invade more and more nations, but believes the money would be better spent on cybersecurity at home? And how can we have a defense secretary who actually says America is capable of making mistakes and that we should learn from them? How? Easy. We put Hagel in the job. As a senator, did he vote against gay rights and make ugly comments about homosexuals? Yes. He has apologized and now says he is a full supporter of Obama’s position on gay rights and gays serving in the military. Did he once use the term “Jewish lobby” instead of “pro-Israel lobby”? Yes, in 2006, he said: “The political reality is that the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here. I have always argued against some of

the dumb things they do because I don’t think it’s in the interest of Israel. I just don’t think it’s smart for Israel.” As someone who has zero tolerance for anti-Semitism, I don’t think Hagel is an anti-Semite, and urging Israel to follow policies that are in both its and our best interests is hardly misconduct. There is one other quality a good defense secretary should have. “We lead the world; we don’t dictate to the world, we don’t impose to the world, we don’t intervene everywhere, and we don’t occupy and invade,” Hagel told Robert Nolan last year. “We work with our allies. We do exactly what Eisenhower, Truman and Marshall, and all those other wise leaders after WWII did. That’s what’s brought us over the last 65 years to where we are.” Chuck Hagel is a man who loves his country more than he loves war. And that is exactly the kind of man we need as our secretary of defense.

Only Mississippi abortion clinic can’t comply with law BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi's only abortion clinic missed a Friday deadline to comply with a 2012 state law that requires each of its physicians to get hospital admitting privileges — a law the governor said he signed with the hopes of shutting the clinic down. The state Health Department won't immediately close the clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization. The department will set an inspection later, and if it orders a shutdown, the clinic can appeal. Clinic administrator Diane Derzis said every Jackson-area hospital where the clinic applied
for privileges said no. “They were clear that they didn't deal with abortion and they didn't want the internal or the external pressure of dealing with it,” Derzis told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said repeatedly that he wants Mississippi to be abortion-free. “My goal, of course, is to shut it down,” Bryant said Thursday. “Now, we'll follow the laws. The bill is in the courts now, related to the physicians and their association with a hospital. But, certainly, if I had the power to do so legally, I'd do so tomorrow.” The law requires anyone doing abortions in a clinic to be an OB-GYN
with privileges to admit patients to a hospital near the facility where the abortions are done. The clinic filed a lawsuit last summer. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III gave the facility time to try to comply with the law, blocking any criminal or civil penalties while the clinic tries to do so. Admitting privileges can be difficult to obtain. Some hospitals won't issue them to out-of-state physicians, while hospitals that are affiliated with religious groups might not want to associate with anyone who does elective abortions. One of the clinic's four physicians has admitting privileges, but the clinic said in court papers that he does little work at the
response, saying the law should take full effect because it's designed to protect patients' safety. “Two federal circuit courts have expressly found that 'admitting privileges at local hospitals and referral arrangements with local expert' are 'so obviously beneficial to patients' undergoing abortions as to easily withstand a facial constitutional challenge alleging them to be undue burdens,” Hood wrote. No hearing has been set for Jordan to consider the competing requests. Bryant's comments about wanting to shut the clinic came in response to reporters' questions after he spoke to several dozen pastors at a Pro-Life Mississippi luncheon, where
clinic and he had the privileges before the new law took effect last July. The other three don't have privileges. Even if the clinic's physicians don't have admitting privileges, a patient can be transferred from the clinic to a hospital emergency room, if needed. The clinic has said the customary practice is for a hospital to remain in contact with the physician who transferred the patient to the emergency room, regardless of whether that physician has admitting privileges at the hospital. In November, the clinic asked Jordan to extend its time to comply with the law. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood on Friday filed a 35-page

people talked about holding church services outside the clinic for 40 days to mark the upcoming 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that established a nationwide right to abortion. The clinic is about two miles north of the state Capitol building, in a trendy neighborhood with restaurants, art galleries and clothing stores. It's a nondescript mauve building separated from a street by an iron fence woven with the type of heavy black vinyl that's used for easy-clean restaurant tablecloths. Outside the clinic Friday, small groups of people prayed, sang hymns and tried to talk to women as they entered or left.

Sandy relief package swells aid for past disasters BY ANDREW MIGA Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Conservatives and watchdog groups are mounting a “not-so-fast” campaign against a $50.7 billion Superstorm Sandy aid package that Northeastern governors and lawmakers hope to push through the House this coming week. Their complaint is that lots of the money that lawmakers are considering will actually go toward recovery efforts for past disasters and other projects unrelated to the late-October storm. A Senate-passed version from the end of the last Congress included $150 million for what the Commerce Department described as fisheries disasters in Alaska, Mississippi and the Northeast, and $50 million in subsidies for replanting trees on private land damaged by wildfires. The objections have led senior House Republicans to assemble their own $17 billion proposal, that when combined with already approved money for flood insurance claims, is less than half what President Barack Obama sought and the Senate passed in December That $17 billion package will be brought to the floor by the House Appropriations Committee, and Northeast lawmakers will have a chance to add $33.7 billion more. House Speaker John Boehner intends to let the House vote on both measures. He's responding both to conservatives who are opposed to more deficit spending, and to Govs. Andrew Cuomo, DN.Y., and Chris Christie, R-N.J., who are irate that the House hasn't acted sooner. Critics are taking the sharpest aim at $12.1 billion in the amendment for Department of Housing and Urban Development emergency block grants. Any state struck by a federally declared major disaster in 2011, 2012 or this year would qualify for the grants, and that's just about all the

states, said Stephen Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a budget watchdog group. Only South Carolina, Arizona and Michigan would not qualify, he said. “That's not a bad chunk of change, particularly if you are trying to get other lawmakers to vote for the bill,” Ellis said. State and local governments like block grants because they provide more flexibility in how the money is spent. The money can go toward a variety of needs, including hospitals, utilities, roads, small businesses and rent subsidies. The Northeast lawmakers' $33.7 billion amendment also includes more than $135 million to help the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration improve weather forecasting. “A lot of the money goes to government agencies to rebuild rather than helping people actually afflicted by Sandy,” Ellis said. Before getting to the aid measures, the House on Monday planned to consider legislation intended to streamline Federal Emergency Management Agency regulations that critics blame for slowing down recovery efforts. That bill would let FEMA make limited repairs instead of lease payments to provide housing that might be less expensive than traditional agency trailers. A $60.4 billion storm aid package passed by the Senate in December included $188 million for an Amtrak expansion project with an indirect link to Sandy: Officials say that new, long-planned tunnels from New Jersey to Penn Station in Manhattan would be better protected against future flooding. The Club for Growth, a conservative group, complained the Senate bill was overpriced, full of pork and would swell the federal deficit because other government programs weren't being cut to cover the costs of the legislation. That
bill expired with the old Congress on Jan. 3. So whatever additional aid package the House passes would have to go back to the Senate for its approval. Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, two frequent critics of government spending, tried unsuccessfully to strip the Senate version of $125 million for an Agriculture Department program to restore watersheds damaged by wildfires and drought, $2 million for roof repairs at Smithsonian Institution museums in the Washington area and the $50 million in tree planting subsidies. McCain also targeted $15 million to repair storm-damaged NASA facilities, saying the agency had called its Sandy damage “minimal.” “An emergency funding bill should focus on the emergency needs of the victims, not the needs of politicians,” said Indiana Sen. Dan Coats, the senior Republican on Senate Appropriations subcommittee on homeland security. “Loading up a massive $60.4 billion package with unrelated projects and earmarks for other states is not the way we should use taxpayer dollars.” Coats' scaled-back $23.8 billion Sandy aid bill was rejected by the Senate. Republicans also criticized $13 billion in the Senate bill for projects to protect against future storms, including fortification of mass transit systems in the Northeast and building new jetties in vulnerable seaside areas. While maybe worthwhile, those projects don't represent emergencies and shouldn't be exempt from federal spending caps, GOP lawmakers said. The basic $17 billion before the House on Tuesday is aimed at immediate Sandy recovery needs, including $5.4 billion for New York and New Jersey transit systems and $5.4 billion for FEMA's disaster aid fund.

Obama won't support building ‘Death Star’ WASHINGTON — A “Death Star” won't be a part of the U.S. military's arsenal any time soon. More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to build the “Star Wars” inspired super-weapon to spur job growth and bolster national defense. But in a posting Friday on the White House website, Paul Shawcross, an administration adviser on science and space, says a Death Star would cost too much to build — an estimated $850 quadrillion — at a time the White House is working to reduce the federal budget. Besides, Shawcross says, the Obama administration “does not support blowing up planets.” The U.S., Shawcross points out, is already involved in several outof-this-world projects, including the International Space Station, which is currently orbiting Earth with a half-dozen astronauts.
Government tells users to disable Java WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is advising people to temporarily disable the Java software on their computers to avoid potential hacking attacks. The recommendation came in an advisory issued late Thursday, following up on concerns raised by computer security experts. Experts believe hackers have found a flaw in Java's coding that creates an opening for criminal activity and other high-tech mischief. Java is a widely used technical language that allows computer programmers to write a wide variety of Internet applications and other software programs that can run on just about any computer's operating system. Oracle Corp. bought Java as part of a $7.3 billion acquisition of the software's creator, Sun Microsystems, in 2010.
Oracle, which is based in Redwood Shores, Calif., had no immediate comment late Friday.
FAA to review Boeing 787, but calls plane safe WASHINGTON — The government stepped in Friday to assure the public that Boeing's new 787 “Dreamliner” is safe to fly, even as it launched a comprehensive review to find out what caused a fire, a fuel leak and other worrisome incidents this week. Despite the incidents, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood declared, “I believe this plane is safe, and I would have absolutely no reservations about boarding one of these planes and taking a flight.” Administrator Michael Huerta of the Federal Aviation Administration said his agency has seen no data suggesting the plane isn't safe but wanted the review to find out why safety-related incidents were occurring. The 787 is the aircraft maker's newest and most technologically advanced airliner, and the company is counting heavily on its success. It relies more than any other modern airliner on electrical signals to help power nearly everything the plane does. It's also the first Boeing plane to use rechargeable lithium ion batteries, which charge faster and can be molded to space-saving shapes compared to other airplane batteries. The plane is made with lightweight composite materials instead of aluminum. A fire ignited Monday in the battery pack of an auxiliary power unit of a Japan Airlines 787 empty of passengers as the plane sat on the tarmac at Boston's Logan International Airport. It took firefighters 40 minutes to put out the blaze. Also this week, a fuel leak delayed a flight from Boston to Tokyo of another Japan Airlines 787. On Friday, Japan's All Nippon Airways reported two new cases of problems with the aircraft. ANA spokeswoman Ayumi Kunimatsu said a very small amount of oil was discovered leaking from an engine of a
787 flight from southern Japan's Miyazaki airport to Tokyo. The jet returned to Miyazaki, and after checks found no safety risk it flew to Tokyo. ANA said that on another flight, to Matsuyama on the island of Shikoku, glass in a cockpit window cracked, and the aircraft was grounded for repairs. ANA said it has no specific plan for inspections and will continue regular operations, though it said it would comply with instructions from the FAA and other authorities. The FAA review announced Friday, which will be conducted jointly with Boeing, will include the design, manufacture and assembly of the 787 with an emphasis on the plane's electrical power and distribution systems. The review will also examine how the plane's electrical and mechanical systems interact with each other. There is no obvious trend or similarity to the problems, which suggests they are more likely the result of quality control than a design flaw, aviation safety experts said.
Californians deal with freezing temps, snow SAN DIEGO — Traffic is flowing again on a major Southern California traffic artery that was severed for the second time in three days because of ice and snow from a winter storm that brought freezing temperatures to much of the state. The California Highway Patrol says the Grapevine segment of Interstate 5 was reopened at 7:25 a.m. Saturday, about four hours after icy conditions forced the closure. Californians are bundling up with sweaters and gloves as they deal with morning temperatures that fell into the 20s and 30s in many areas, and much lower in the mountains. The National Weather Service says records could fall as the cold snap stretches into early Sunday. Citrus growers broke out wind machines and took other steps to protect crops from freezing.
No charges for NBC host over ammunition magazine BY ERIC TUCKER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — NBC journalist David Gregory won’t face charges for displaying a high-capacity ammunition magazine on his “Meet the Press” news program last month, District of Columbia prosecutors announced Friday. The city’s Office of the Attorney General, which handles low-level crimes, said criminal charges wouldn’t serve the public’s best interests even though possession of the magazine — capable of holding up to 30 rounds of ammunition — was clearly against local gun laws. “Influencing our judgment in this case, among other things, is our recognition that the intent of the temporary possession and short display of the magazine was to promote the First Amendment purpose of informing an ongoing public debate about firearms policy in the United States, especially while this subject was foremost in the minds of the public” after the Connecticut school massacre and President Barack Obama’s address to the nation, D.C. Attorney General Irvin Nathan wrote a lawyer for NBC. Still, Nathan said, there
were other legal ways to prove the point and that “there is no doubt of the gravity of the illegal conduct in this matter, especially in a city and a nation that have been plagued by carnage from gun violence.” He said it was a “very close decision” to not bring charges. Firearms laws in the nation’s capital generally restrict the possession of high-capacity ammunition magazines, such as the one Gregory said he was holding up during a Dec. 23 interview, regardless of whether they’re attached to a firearm. Punishment can carry up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine. D.C. police say NBC asked for permission to use the clip during a segment and was advised that it would be illegal, though NBC has said it received conflicting guidance from other law enforcement sources. Gregory held up the magazine as a prop during an interview on gun control with Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. “Here is a magazine for ammunition that carries 30 bullets. Now, isn’t it possible that if we got rid
of these, if we replaced them and said, ‘Well, you can only have a magazine that carries five bullets or 10 bullets,’ isn’t it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?” Gregory asked, referring to the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which a gunman killed 20 children and six adults. LaPierre replied: “I don’t believe that’s going to make one difference. There are so many different ways to evade that even if you had that” ban. Police began investigating after the program aired and recently referred its findings to the attorney general’s office. The NRA couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Friday. However, NRA president David Keene told CNN last month that he didn’t believe Gregory should be prosecuted for what he called a “silly felony.” “I do think it illustrates the craziness of some of these laws,” Keene said at the time. Gregory, a longtime correspondent, was named “Meet the Press” moderator in 2008. The program is generally taped in Washington.

Turner scores 40, Calipari suffers rare home lose Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Looking back, Texas A&M’s Elston Turner said preseason runs through 110-degree heat were the foundation of preparing the Aggies for their first pass at playing in the Southeastern Conference. The summer heat in eastern Texas couldn’t match Turner’s shooting hand Saturday against Kentucky. Turner dropped 40 points at Rupp Arena, easily topping his previous career high, and the Aggies won their first league road game as SEC members 83-71. The loss was John Calipari’s first home conference loss since becoming the Wildcats’ head coach before the 200910 season. He’s 24-1 at home in SEC games as Kentucky’s coach.
Turner finished 14 of 19 from the floor, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range. He said he got a good feel for the Rupp Arena rims during shoot-around, and he wasn’t intimidated by the 24,193 fans in attendance who, at one point in the second half, grew so loud that the referee’s whistle to indicate a timeout was almost inaudible at court level. Turner’s father, also named Elston Turner, played a handful of games at Rupp Arena as a guard for Mississippi from 1977-81. “He said it was loud, and it’s going to be at least 20,000 people there,” Turner said of speaking to his father. “I haven’t talked to him in the past couple of days, but I’m sure he’s calling me right now.”
Calipari stuck struggling freshman Alex Poythress with defending Turner from the opening tip, and Turner struck right away. He scored nine points in the first six minutes, and Calipari spent the rest of the game throwing different matchups and a variety of defensive schemes at Turner. “It was a mistake,” Calipari said of putting Poythress on Turner. Turner dominated the first half, scoring 25 before the break — his previous career high for a single game was 26 — and sending the Aggies into the locker room with a 36-31 lead. Kentucky’s Archie Goodwin was largely responsible for Turner’s slow start to the second half. Goodwin bodied him up, guarding him aggres-
sively away from the ball to limit catch-and-shoot opportunities that piled up in the first half. When Turner hit his first field goal of the second half with 9:34 to play, it broke a 51-51 tie. Kentucky took the lead twice over the next five minutes, and both times Turner turned around with a 3-pointer. “It took a 40-point game to beat Kentucky at Kentucky,” Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. “The run that they have in the SEC, winning all these home games, it’s for a reason. They’re very good, they’re very deep, very talented and very well coached. But for us to score 83 against their defense was incredible, and it took a special performance.” The Wildcats last tied the game with 4:33 to play on a Goodwin free throw.
Lewis, Ravens shock Broncos; 49ers rout Packers BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press
The 49ers and Ravens are getting another shot at making the Super Bowl. Losers in tight conference championship games a year ago, they are returning to the final step before the big game in the Big Easy after wins Saturday. Baltimore took the long, frigid route, rallying at Denver for a 38-35 victory in an AFC divisional playoff. The Ravens will go to either New England, where they lost 2320 in the conference championship match last January, or Houston. The Patriots and
Texans face off Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. San Francisco took the NFC game at night 45-31 over Green Bay behind the running and passing of quarterback Colin Kaepernick. That gave both coaching Harbaughs victories Saturday: Jim with the 49ers, John with the Ravens. San Francisco fell in overtime to the New York Giants for the NFC title last year. The Niners will either visit Atlanta or host Seattle in next weekend’s championship matchup. The wild-card Seahawks are at the Falcons in Sunday’s early game.
Second-year QB Kaepernick made Jim Harbaugh’s decision to stick with him over incumbent Alex Smith during the season look brilliant. He set a playoff mark for the position by rushing for 183 yards, including a 56-yard TD, and threw for 263 yards. Kaepernick hit Michael Crabtree for two scores and Frank Gore rushed for 119 yards. The AFC West champion Niners (12-4-1) gained 579 yards. The NFC North-winning Packers (12-6) beat Minnesota in the wild-card round last weekend, but their de-
fense was overmatched at San Francisco. Aaron Rodgers finished 26 for 39 for 257 with two TDs and an interception. Ravens 38, Broncos 35, 2 OT Rookie Justin Tucker’s 47-yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime of the longest playoff game in 26 years advanced the Ravens and kept star linebacker Ray Lewis’ career going at least another week. Earlier this season, the AFC North champ Ravens (126) beat the Patriots 31-30 in Baltimore. They lost 43-13 at Houston.

Murphy scores 22, Mississippi beats No. 10 Missouri 64-49 BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. — Murphy Holloway has huge, broad shoulders and uses his left hand on nearly every drive to the basket. The Mississippi senior has been doing it for four seasons, so it’s no secret. Missouri was completely ready for it. And the Tigers could do nothing to stop it. Holloway scored a gamehigh 22 points, repeatedly getting his chiseled 6-foot7, 240-pound body into good position and finishing at the rim, to lead Mississippi to a surprisingly easy 64-49 victory over No. 10 Missouri on Saturday. “He’s an all-league player and we were getting the ball to his big, broad shoulders and that left hand,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “He’s a man. If the season ended today, and I wish it did because we’d be the champions, he would be the league MVP.” Jarvis Summers added 12 points. He and Holloway helped offset a mediocre night from Marshall Henderson, the SEC’s leading scorer who finished with only 11 points on 4 of 11 shooting. Ole Miss (13-2, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) led the entire game, jumping out to an early 9-0 lead thanks to timely shooting and superior defense. Holloway was nearly unstoppable in the paint, making 8 of 12 shots from the field and 6 of 10 free throws. “You know there’s a little extra motivation against
the No. 10 team in the nation,” Holloway said. “It’s motivation. You want to beat them, show them that they’re not that good. We had to make those (hustle) plays to beat that team.” Missouri (12-3, 1-1) was without leading scorer Laurence Bowers, who is out with a sprained MCL in his right knee, and it was obvious the offense missed him. The Tigers were led by 13 points from Jabari Brown. “It was really difficult (without Bowers) and it really affected us I thought at the start of the game,” Missouri coach Frank Haith said. “But hats off to Ole Miss — we just didn’t execute well.” Missouri pulled to 41-33 with 16 minutes remaining, but couldn’t get any closer. The Rebels’ defense was suffocating for most of the night, forcing 19 turnovers. And it seemed like every time there was a loose ball,

Flu season strikes early and, in some places, hard BY MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK — From the Rocky Mountains to New England, hospitals are swamped with people with flu symptoms. Some medical centers are turning away visitors or making them wear face masks, and one Pennsylvania hospital set up a tent outside its ER to deal with the feverish patients. Flu season in the U.S. has struck early and, in many places, hard. While flu normally doesn’t blanket the country until late January or February, it is already widespread in more than 40 states, with about 30 reporting some major hot spots. On Thursday, health officials blamed the flu for the deaths of 20 children so far. Whether this will be considered a bad season by the time it has run its course in the spring remains to be seen. “Those of us with gray
hair have seen worse,� said Dr. William Schaffner, a flu expert at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The evidence so far points to a moderate season, Schaffner and others say. It looks bad in part because last year was unusually mild and because the main strain of influenza circulating this year tends to make people sicker and really lay them low. David Smythe of New York City saw it happen to his 50-year-old girlfriend, who has been knocked out for about two weeks. “She’s been in bed. She can’t even get up,� he said. Also, the flu’s early arrival coincided with spikes in a variety of other viruses, including a childhood malady that mimics flu and a new norovirus that causes vomiting and diarrhea, or what is commonly known as “stomach flu.� So what people are calling the flu may, in
fact, be something else. “There may be more of an overlap than we normally see,� said Dr. Joseph Bresee, who tracks the flu for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most people don’t undergo lab tests to confirm flu, and the symptoms are so similar that it can be hard to distinguish flu from other viruses, or even a cold. Over the holidays, 250 people were sickened at a Mormon missionary training center in Utah, but the culprit turned out to be a norovirus, not the flu. Flu is a major contributor, though, to what’s going on. “I’d say 75 percent,� said Dr. Dan Surdam, head of the emergency department at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, Wyoming’s largest hospital. The 17-bed emergency room saw its busiest day ever last week, with 166 visitors.
The early onslaught has resulted in a spike in hospitalizations. To deal with the influx and protect other patients from getting sick, hospitals are restricting visits from children, requiring family members to wear masks and banning anyone with flu symptoms from maternity wards. One hospital in Allentown, Pa., set up a tent this week for a steady stream of patients with flu symptoms. But so far “what we’re seeing is a typical flu season,� said Terry Burger, director of infection control and prevention for the hospital, Lehigh Valley HospitalCedar Crest. On Wednesday, Boston declared a public health emergency, with the city’s hospitals counting about 1,500 emergency room visits since December by people with flu-like symptoms. All the flu activity has led some to question
whether this year’s flu shot is working. While health officials are still analyzing the vaccine, early indications are that it’s about 60 percent effective, which is in line with what’s been seen in other years. The vaccine is reformulated each year, based on experts’ best guess of which strains of the virus will predominate. This year’s vaccine is wellmatched to what’s going around. The government estimates that between a third and half of Americans have gotten the vaccine. In New York City, 57-year-old Judith Quinones skipped getting a flu shot this season and suffered her worst case of flu-like illness in years. She was laid up for nearly a month with fever and body aches. “I just couldn’t function,� she said. But her daughter got the vaccine. “And she
got sick twice,� Quinones said. On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the CDC. That’s an estimate — the agency does not keep a running tally of adult flu deaths each year, only for children. Some state health departments do keep count, and they’ve reported dozens of flu deaths so far. Flu usually peaks in midwinter. Symptoms can include fever, cough, runny nose, head and body aches and fatigue. Some people also suffer vomiting and diarrhea, and some develop pneumonia or other severe complications. Most people with flu have a mild illness and can help themselves and protect others by staying home and resting. But people with severe symptoms should see a doctor. They may be given antiviral drugs or other medications to ease symptoms.
Texas Supreme Court asks: Is man’s best friend priceless? BY PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — They say all dogs go to heaven. But if they get there before their time, should someone pay up? The Texas Supreme Court began mulling Thursday whether grieving dog owners should be able to sue for the “emotional value� of man’s best friend. It comes after a Fort Worth animal shelter mistakenly euthanized a beloved — but essentially worthless, in terms of actual market value — family Labrador retriever named Avery who ran away from home in 2009. Lining up in opposition are skittish veterinarians who say letting juries
somehow calculate sentimental payouts would set a costly precedent that would ripple nationwide. Justices on Texas’ highest civil court appeared skeptical, too, at times of whether dogs should be granted an emotional price tag that humans in many scenarios aren’t even afforded under state law. “Where do we draw the line?� Justice Jeffrey S. Boyd asked from the bench. “Cats? Fish? Birds?� The court isn’t expected to issue a ruling for several weeks. Dogs are property under Texas law. Steal your neighbor’s cocker spaniel, and you’ll be jailed
for theft. But Jeremy and Kathryn Medlen, Avery’s owners, believe dogs deserve the same standing the law gives to truly irreplaceable objects — say a great-grandmother’s wedding ring, or an old family photograph destroyed in a fire. Juries in Texas are allowed to weigh sentimental value when it comes to that kind of one-of-akind, cherished property. So the Meldens asked: Why aren’t dogs and their loyal, loving companionship classified the same? “We’re asking dogs to be treated like all other property,� Randall Turner, the family’s attorney, told the court. Justices of the nine-
member panel peppered Turner with questions and wild hypotheticals, resulting in stifled laughs from the courtroom gallery more than once. Justice Don Willett asked where a stuffed dog might fall under this new standard. He later painted a difference scenario: a twin sister walking a dog down the street when both are run over by a distracted driver barreling around the curve while texting. Under the law, damages for mental anguish can be collected only for the death of a parent, spouse or child. So wouldn’t it be strange, Willett asked, for the surviving sister to collect money for the dog,
but not her twin? “It might seem strange. But not really,� Turner responded. “Let’s change the hypothetical and say that instead of walking her dog, she’s carrying a family heirloom. And there’s a collision, the sister is killed, and also the cherished family heirloom is destroyed. Well, under existing Texas law handed down by this court, there is no dispute she couldn’t recover a wrongful death case for (her) sister, but she could for the sentimental value of the heirloom. That would be a strange result, but that’s the law.� John Cayce, an attorney for the shelter worker named in the lawsuit, ar-
gued that a victory for the Medlens would result in skyrocketing insurance premiums for veterinarians afraid of being sued. He also said that sentient beings aren’t like any other irreplaceable family memorabilia. “Humans don’t bond to heirlooms,� Cayce said. “They bond to pets.� The Medlen family did not attend the hearing. Their dog was mistakenly euthanized in 2009 despite the shelter placing a hold tag on Avery after the family came to claim her at the shelter, but was unable to pay an $80 fee to get her back. When the family returned with the cash, they learned Avery had been put down.

The Corinth Depot Historic building sits at the crossroads of history BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
The other day we stopped for a visit with our dear friend Virginia Seabrook. She’s my “Corinth mom” and it’s always a delight to sit on her sofa or porch swing and drink tea. It was a nice surprise to see her daughter Beth Hendricks there as well. Beth and I had a great conversation about Corinth during the Civil War. That is one lady who knows her Corinth history! We talked about earthworks, houses, old families, and the changing face of Corinth. We spent a lot of time talking about the railroad depot, a particular fascination of mine. I go by the depot pretty often, and not just with tour groups. Nita works there part-time and when she is on duty I always have my lunch with her in the little break room. I know it is not the original depot from Civil War days but I can still feel the history every time I go in. The energy, the smell, the sounds, and the vibrations of the trains as they pass just feet away make me think of that first historic building. Back in 1855 the land was owned by William and Hannah Lesley. It was a hot piece of real estate, and if the Lesleys didn’t know it Hamilton Mask and Houston Mitchell did. The two men were surveyors and they bought up the property where the two new railroads, the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio, were destined to cross. These were the guys who surveyed out the new town of Cross City and determined where our streets would be. They also put up the first depot building. In 1857 the Memphis & Charleston began passenger and freight service through Corinth and every train stopped at the new depot. There were plenty of depots up and down the track and most of them were no more than shacks and not much to look at. But not the Corinth depot. It was a beauty, and because it stood at what would soon be an important junction it had an unusual shape. Though the wooden building was bigger than most, it was not much different than the others along the right of way. What set it apart was the huge covered platform. The whole affair was actually in the shape of the letter L and was built in the southeast quadrant of the crossing. The long part of the L ran east and west along the tracks and the shorter arm was along the north-south section of

The current depot is shown from the view of the railroad tracks in the 1930s. Note the double crossing of the railroad lines at the junction. the unfinished Mobile & Ohio. The depot was set mid-way down the longer arm of the platform. Take a look at the drawing from Harper’s Weekly and all this talk begins to make sense. The great covered platform meant that passengers getting on and off the trains could do so without getting soaked on a rainy day. Travelers waiting for a train could rest in the shade under the high roof supported by columns and arches. The design had an airy look and kept the space open to the breezes. The high pitched roof was made of tin and did a fine job of reflecting the heat on those hot summer days. Just behind the depot, and practically set inside the L shape, was the two story brick Tishomingo Hotel. You know the old saying “location, location, location?” Well the owners of the hotel had the most desirable property in town. The hotel was a private affair but everything else
around the junction was owned and operated by the railroad. Anyone getting off one of the trains had only to glance about to see this was a railroad town. There were platforms stretching for a hundred yards in each direction for loading and off-loading freight. Just across the tracks to the west was a roundtable, which allowed the engineers to turn the huge locomotives so they could return to wherever they had come from. There were machine shops, forges, and warehouses. The classic view of the crossing is a bit misleading, I mean it’s not the way it looked 150 years ago. There were actually two sets of tracks that crossed at the junction; the two main lines and two side tracks. This allowed for one train to remain parked at the depot or one of the platforms while another passed it on its way to some other destination. Locomotives with names like City of Charleston, Pocahontas, Chickasaw,
and Paducah, passed through on their way to the Atlantic or the Mississippi River. When the Mobile & Ohio was completed in April of 1861 the city of Corinth was linked with the Gulf of Mexico in one direction and Columbus, Ky., in the other. Unfortunately the Mobile & Ohio never had a chance to prove its worth before the war broke out. I’m not suggesting the line wasn’t important; on the contrary, if anything the two lines were too important for their own good. The two railroads were the longest trunk lines in the South and their crossing in Corinth made the city a strategic site of great importance. It was a simple bit of military logic: whoever controlled the railroads held the ability to move men, bullets, and beans from point A to point B much faster than the other guy. The depot was soon the scene of frenzied activities as troops from the Deep South came to Corinth for training and
to await orders to the front. Soldiers came and soldiers left. Trains that took soldiers to Virginia early in the war arrived with others for the Battle of Shiloh and the Siege of Corinth. And all of them came though the depot. Inevitably, the importance of the depot made it a target. Literally. On the 28th of May Union artillery shells rained down on the junction and though the depot was spared any damage, a train engineer was killed in the barrage. Two days later, as the last of the Confederates were pulling out of the abandoned city, General Beauregard’s orders were carried out and the depot and the surrounding buildings were put to the torch. The “Yankees” have been given a bad rap for being loose with a book of matches, but in this case they were the fire department. The men of Brig. Gen. Thomas Davies’ division threw down their rifles and managed to extinguish the flames before
they consumed the building. Several warehouses and the roundhouse were lost but the depot was saved. A few months later, during the Battle of Corinth in October, fighting swirled around the depot as the two armies fought for control of the crossroads. Once again it was the target for artillery fire and once again it came through the worst of the fight. There were bullet holes in the woodwork and a cannonball had crashed through the adjacent Tishomingo Hotel, but when the smoke cleared the depot was still there. What happened next is a little murky. The Union abandoned Corinth on Jan. 24, 1864, and the departing troops were under orders to burn any buildings with military value. That would mean the depot. But there are some accounts that say the depot survived only to be destroyed a year later by the Confederates. In January ’65, following the Union victory at Nashville, the Southern army retreated through Corinth. At the end of their brief stay the Confederates burned the Tishomingo Hotel and, so the story goes, the depot as well. At the end of the war the town was a wreck but the importance of the railroads ensured the depot would be rebuilt. A temporary building was eventually exchanged for the Union Depot. This new Victorian style building became a Corinth landmark with a round central structure and a coneshaped roof reminiscent of a European castle. An attached lunch room on the east side provided meals for hungry travelers. Finally, in 1909, the building we now love was erected at the famous railroad junction. It flourished during the heyday of rail travel but with the end of passenger service the building soon fell into disrepair. Lucky for us some of the folks in town had the foresight to preserve it and in 2005 it became home to the Crossroads Museum. If you’ve never been there you should stop by. In the back of the main exhibit room, next to a big bank of windows looking out over the crossroads, is the most extraordinary artifact in the whole museum; the engineer’s transit and tripod used by Mitchell & Mask. This little device made of brass and wood breathed life into our little city and those steel rails connected us to the rest of the world. Go to the museum and take a look.

Strategy for hunting during the secondary rut It is often said “Time flies when you’re having fun.” If that’s the case, then I must be having way too much fun. It seemed like an eternity waiting for deer season to get here and now it’s almost over. The Tennessee season has already closed and Mississippi’s modern firearms season concludes at the end of the day on Jan. 17, which then gives way to the primitive weapons season on Jan. 18 and runs through the end of the month. As deer season has progressed, I’ve tried to put together a column to coincide with the stage of the season we were about to enter. So, it should be no mystery about what’s next on the agenda. In most fall outdoor magazine publications,
you’ll find stories telling how to go about hunting post rut David bucks. The Green stories are interestOutdoors ing and much of the information is useful, but a large part of it really doesn’t apply to this area. Maybe it did at one time, but with all the freakish weather we have these days, the primary rut appears to drag out later and later. It’s like we don’t have a post rut any more, at least not while season is going on. Peak rutting activity seems to taper off gradually and then goes directly into the second peak toward the end of
the month, without even much of a lull in activity. Rutting activity during the second peak is not normally as frantic and exciting as in the first, but there is good news that should keep you from nodding off in your stand. The next rustle of leaves or twig snap you hear could very well be the biggest buck you have ever seen. While the first peak generally produces the most buck sightings, the second peak is normally when the biggest and smartest mature bucks put their nocturnal antics aside and come out to play. Post rut outdoor stories will tell you to hunt near prime food sources. Bucks expend a lot of energy and have to restore body fat lost during the rigors of the rut by pig-
ging out on groceries is the reason usually given. It is true you need to hunt near a hot food source, but not specifically for that reason. Doe deer like to eat, too. And where the females are at, the big boys will be around somewhere nearby checking them out. If it were my choice, I’d hunt doe bedding areas in the morning and in the proximity of a feeding area in the afternoon. Bucks are likely to cruise known bedding areas looking for a receptive mate early and are just as likely to follow them to a feeding area in the afternoon. There’s a reason why some bucks make it to their golden years. They’ve become wise through their experiences and will not risk moving
during daylight unless they feel comfortable doing so. They’ll do anything and everything to avoid interaction with humans. Mid-day hunting is one way of doing a little trickery of your own. By this late into the season, bucks have patterned the hunters better than the hunters have patterned them. Mature bucks are more likely to move during the middle of the day because they know most hunters have usually left the woods and will not be back for some time. Truth be known, there’s probably more monster bucks taken between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. than at any other time. The area’s doe herd had a real good fawn drop this past summer which should make the secondary rut even more excit-
ing and intriguing, putting an exclamation point on what has already been a good season. Bucks will have to get busy in order to get around to servicing all of the new additions to the herd. And the most exciting part about hunting during the second peak is, there’s a decent chance the biggest buck you’ve ever seen is liable to materialize from out of nowhere and at any time.

Hunter turns accident into dream realized with OWLS BY MIKE GILES The Meridian Star
Kainen Gilley was born blind and with a mild case of cerebral palsy. He was just a small boy when Kirk Thomas had an accident that changed Thomas’ life. Thomas’ accident would eventually have a great impact on both their lives. Though they were many years and worlds apart, that accident and fate would later bring them together, and have a profound impact on Gilley’s life. Thomas, a mountain of a man, was a star football player and the consummate outdoorsman. He played ball with a fire rarely seen among athletes nowadays. After a freak hunting accident occurred, when a tree fell on him, Thomas was left paralyzed from the waist down. He was forced to
look at life from a different perspective. Like a lot of accident victims he thought his life was over. His first thoughts were that he would never hunt again, or be a productive citizen. While Thomas was going through an extreme range of emotions like most accident victims experience, his friends unexpectedly picked him up one day and carried him to the woods. Instead of looking at what he couldn’t do, they focused on the possibilities. They carried him to the woods on a hunt. Later he would hunt fields, pipelines, and other areas out of his truck, as there were no blinds available for paralyzed or wheelchair bound hunters at that time. As a result of that accident and eventual posi-
tive hunting experience with his friends, Thomas realized that he could have a productive life after the accident. And more importantly, Thomas experienced a dream, or vision, about people all over the country helping each other. That dream led to an idea which was realized through the birth of “Wheelin’ Sportsmen.” Of course Thomas became the organization’s founder and CEO. Thomas eventually invited Gilley to participate in a disabled hunt and low and behold helped the blind boy to see! See good enough to harvest his first deer, even though he was blind as a bat. Through extensive preparation, knowledge and hands on instruction from Thomas and friends, Gilley did everything but look through his scope as
his dad stood behind him and instructed him where to aim. And aim and shoot he did, and the rest is history. Many blind people have now participated in Thomas’ hunts with great success! Thomas now operates the Outdoors Without Limits (OWLS) an organization that is even more powerful in providing disabled hunters not only a chance to hunt and fish but to have a say in how their local chapter is run. Meridian and East Mississippi residents will have an opportunity to join in with Outdoors Without Limits and make a difference today and tomorrow as the OWLS holds its annual Meridian hunt. After an afternoon hunt they will have a fundraising dinner Friday night at Evangel Temple and then have guided
hunts Saturday morning and afternoon. “My disability is the greatest blessing of my life,” Kirk Thomas said. “It’s just a blessing from me to be involved with these disabled people. Every time one of these hunters kills a deer it’s the same as if I kill one.” How can you change the world? One person at a time! “When you volunteer and help out, you can be their eyes, legs, feet, hands and you take away their disability,” Thomas said. “Although I can’t reach every disabled person in the world, my goal is to touch as many people in person as I can,” Thomas continued. Yes, just imagine what the world would be like if Thomas had not had his accident. And now imagine the possibilities that
he has introduced to the world. Nothing is impossible when you have a little help from your friends. If you don’t believe one person can make a difference, just ask Kainen Gilley. He’ll tell you what a blessing it was to meet Thomas and to be able to participate on a disabled hunt. Thomas’ latest organization (OWLS) gives disabled hunters even greater opportunities to do what they love, while also putting the focus entirely on their successes and opportunities to get outdoors. If you’re interested in helping make a difference in somebody’s life contact Kirk Thomas at 803-4800167. You’ll be glad you did, I guarantee!

Stay safe while outdoors in the dark Tennessee deer season going (BPT) - In dark corners and spaces where the sun doesn’t shine – or has gone below the horizon for the night – the most useful tool in the world is a light. Having a light source helps keep you safe from tripping, running into objects and causing injuries. Safety is a big concern for those who enjoy the outdoors, especially when their outdoor activities involve recreational equipment that can be difficult to use when natural light is not available. Here are some tips to stay safe while playing outside – both day and night. ■ Boating — Boat enthusiasts love to spend as many hours as possible on the water, but when the sun drops, lights are required. Boat manufacturers make bow and stern tall lights to help other boaters see your vessel. But that doesn’t help the family onboard see maps or each other. Installing a 12-inch, 39inch or even a 60-inch Access LED light along the inside edge of the boat rail and connecting it to a 12-volt energy source makes it easy for families to stay out on the boat, even after the sun sets. Once installed,
pushing the button is all that is needed to turn the lights on – no additional set up required. And the light is waterproof, so you don’t need to worry about water splashing over the edge and shorting it out. ■ Trailers — Ever walked inside a cargo trailer to unload your sporting equipment with your sunglasses on, and bumped your head on the roof, or your shin on the items stored inside? When trailering, the equipment can shift during the ride, making it a potentially dangerous area to enter without precaution. Consider securing all equipment to the front or walls of the trailer with safety straps, and protecting sharp edges with padding. Also line the entry way with reflective tape to help avoid bumping your head on the low roof. Installing one or two Access LED lights along the ceiling or front of the trailer with the on/ off button next to the doorway will also help eliminate bruised heads and shins in the future. ■ Ice fishing – Ice fishermen have poles in the water 24/7 when the fishing is good. And ice houses are built to be
dark at all times of the day on the inside. This is to prevent any light shining through the hole in the ice and spooking the fish. But when it comes time to bait a lure or check a line, light becomes a necessity. Hooking a finger instead of the bait, or cutting a hand on the teeth or fins of a caught fish could entail a trip to the emergency room. Fish houses usually come with window patches, which when removed on a sunny day provide ample light, but on overcast days, or in the early evening hours, additional light is necessary. The Access LED light can quickly fill that need with the push of a button. As soon as the lure is baited – or the fish measured and returned to the water – just push the button to turn off the light stuck to the roof of the fishing shanty and go back to fishing. Have fun outdoors both this winter and summer, but be certain to keep as many safety measures in place as possible to prevent injury. When in doubt, always be certain to incorporate additional lighting so you can see the equipment you’re working with.
strong despite warmer autumn BY RANDALL DICKERSON Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee wildlife officials say the deer season was a good one that colder weather would have improved even more. “I would call it a normal harvest,” said Chuck Yoest, the state big game coordinator for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The count stood at about 165,000 on Jan. 4 with two days of the season and a youth hunt on the following weekend remaining. That was about 3,000 more deer killed than at the same point last season. “We’ll see that number rise in the next couple of weeks as late tags come in,” Yoest said. “It could break 170,000.” The number of deer taken by hunters has rebounded well from an outbreak of a hemorrhagic disease commonly called “blue tongue” that reduced the number of deer killed in 2007. “Our harvest was down sharply then,” said Randy Cromer, who manages the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area near
Ashland City. Cromer said hunters had no complaints this season. TWRA spokesman Lee Wilmot said, heading into the final regular hunting weekend, sportsmen had taken 164,549 deer since the archery-only season began Sept. 22. That was followed by a muzzle loading gun season and then the modern gun segment. Agency records show Giles County in southern Middle Tennessee was the hot spot for hunters this season, with more than 5,000 deer harvested there. The harvest was strong in West Tennessee as well, with Fayette County and Henry County coming in second and third with nearly 5,000 deer taken in each. “We have higher deer density in West (Tennessee) and Middle than in East,” Yoest said. “The bucks tend to be larger. Northern Middle Tennessee is where we see our biggest racks, but those Mississippi River deer produce some large racks, too.” Dave Johnson, a semiretired police officer who
lives in Cheatham County, said he only shot one buck, although he saw more. His kill had an eightpoint rack and Johnson said he ground the venison to make summer sausage. Hunters are allowed three bucks each season and more does. Johnson spent more time shooting video, which he then edits into wildlife footage for the benefit of family and friends’ viewing. Johnson said the season got off to a great start, but nearly ground to a halt when a warm spell and full moon occurred the second week in December. “The deer have their winter coat on, but unlike you and me they can’t take it off,” he explained. “It was too hot for them to move during the day and, with a full moon (to see by), they waited until it cooled off.” That also protected them from hunters, who can’t take game after sunset. Yoest said the agency will compile biological information on the hunt to help set rules for next season.
Mallards, shovelers, gadwalls frequently observed in MDWFP waterfowl survey JACKSON — MDWFP recently completed the December 2012 Aerial Waterfowl Survey. Funded through a partnership with Delta Wildlife, MDWFP conducts these surveys several times each winter to
estimate wintering waterfowl abundance. Mallards, northern shovelers, and gadwalls were the most frequently observed species. When compared to previous surveys, December duck estimates and available flood-
ed habitat were relatively low. Mallards (122,779) and other dabblers (176,950) followed the same trend, with estimates below the past 4-year averages for this time of year. Mild winter weather conditions and the lack
of flooded habitat most likely contributed to relatively low estimates. However, the estimate of diving ducks (171,542) was greater than the recent 4-year average for December. The December 2012 Aerial
Waterfowl Survey and distribution maps, as well as archived reports from previous surveys can be found at www.mdwfp. com/waterfowl. The next Aerial Waterfowl Survey is scheduled for this month.

Daughter visiting aging dad seeks respite from strife DEAR ABBY: My husband and I just got back from visiting my dad and stepmother in another state. We are the only ones in the family who don’t live in close proximity, Abigail Van Buren and we get to see him only once Dear Abby a year. Dad is elderly, and I know my time with him is limited. Apparently, his marriage is in a shambles and they are on the verge of divorce. He comes home only to sleep. The rest of the time he finds places to get away from her and her constant arguments. The time we were there was tense, unpleasant and, frankly, a waste of time and money. I wasn’t able to spend more than five minutes with Daddy without my stepmother trying to pick a fight with him. My husband and I decided it was best to make excuses and fly home early. Now I don’t know how I can see my father without my stepmother. Because he didn’t tell me his marriage was on the rocks (I was told by my siblings), I’m not sure how to broach making alternate arrangements to meet him so we can talk and spend time together without all the drama. My husband thinks it may cause more problems, but I don’t know how else to avoid being in a war zone. Have you any suggestions or advice? I just want to spend time with him in the time he has left. -- DADDY’S GIRL DOWN SOUTH DEAR DADDY’S GIRL: Now that you have been in the “war zone,� the cat is out of the bag. Because your stepmother was such a distraction, consider staying elsewhere and having him spend time with you away from the house. Alternatively, if he’s able to travel, offer to send him a ticket to visit you and your husband for a few days or a week without her. That’s cheaper than plane fare for you and your husband to visit him.
Contact your siblings and find out if your father plans to spend the rest of his “limited� time married to your stepmother, because the stress of the hostility in their household could shorten his life. If he plans to divorce her, one of the places where he should seek refuge is his lawyer’s office. And because your father hasn’t been forthcoming, be sure to ask your siblings to keep you more informed about the status of his health and his marriage. As his daughter, you have a right to know. DEAR ABBY: My fiancee, “Tara,� has a problem with social boundaries. She was home-schooled most of her education and missed out on a social life. Recently, a male friend of mine quit talking to both of us because of her behavior. When I talked with him about it, he said Tara makes him uncomfortable. She doesn’t understand where friendly joking stops and serious flirting starts. She gave him the impression she wanted to start an affair, so he walked away. Tara has been open and upfront about everything. She doesn’t lie. It’s like she doesn’t know any other way to interact with the opposite sex, and it’s spooking me before our wedding. I don’t want to have to be my fiancee’s constant social monitor. What can I do to help her with this? Are there social classes for late bloomers? -- FREAKEDOUT FIANCE IN OHIO DEAR FREAKED-OUT FIANCE: I don’t blame you for being “freaked out� because Tara’s behavior must have been blatant for your friend to avoid both of you. My advice is to put your wedding on hold until you, a female relative (or two) whom Tara respects and will listen to, or a counselor is able to make her understand the boundaries of socially appropriate behavior. (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.

Beloved vintage cars star in ‘Gangster Squad’ BY SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — To bring the story of mobster Mickey Cohen’s reign over post-war Los Angeles to life, the director of “Gangster Squad” employed Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and more than 100 irreplaceable vintage American cars. There’s the 1941 light blue Ford Deluxe Convertible that Gosling’s character drives; the bulbous, bullet-nosed 1947 Ford sedans that served as police cars; the gorgeous black 1936 Oldsmobile convertible with a tan ragtop and the regal 1949 Packard Super 8 limousines that carried Cohen. These rare beauties are stars themselves, bringing an authenticity and aesthetic charm to the screen that no computer graphics can match. “These cars, they’re as important as the buildings and clothing and makeup in establishing the time and place,”
said Leslie Kendall, chief curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, which has three cars from “Gangster Squad” on display this month. “If you want to lock a movie scene in, use the right car and they will immediately get it.” Picture car coordinator Tim Woods spent 12 weeks working with “Gangster Squad” director Ruben Fleischer to get the automotive look of 1949 Los Angeles just right. A few of the vintage cars came from Woods’ own personal collection. He called on Southern California car collectors (and a few local junkyards) for the rest. Most of the cars in the movie were lovingly loaned by private owners, many of whom drove the priceless vehicles during filming. “It’s always good to have the owner of the vehicle to drive the car, because it’s their baby,” said Woods, 50, whose 1946 Chevy pickup, 1947 Ford sedan
and (Gosling’s) 1941 Ford Deluxe Convertible play roles on screen. Garvin Kotzin, 63, lent two of his babies to the film, including that rare ‘36 Olds (only 32 made). The retired entrepreneur showed off the vintage convertible recently on a dusty lot in a suburban Los Angeles neighborhood. The L.A. native started collecting cars at 16, when he took out a loan to buy a 1927 Franklin for $800 that he fixed up and drove to school. As his terrarium-manufacturing business grew, he invested in other vintage vehicles: a 1934 Packard, a cherry red-and-white 1958 Cadillac convertible with pointy fins, and his favorite, the 1936 Oldsmobile, which also appeared in “Hoover,” ‘‘Changeling” and “The Aviator.” Kotzin has been loaning his cars to the entertainment business for 12 years. They’ve played roles in photo shoots, music videos, weddings
and various movies. He insists on driving the cars himself, and he spent several weeks driving his and a dozen other vehicles on set during the filming of “Gangster Squad.” Dressed alternately like a chauffeur and a deliveryman, Kotzin rolled in a 1947 Cadillac limo, a 1940 Cadillac and a 1937 Chrysler. He drove a taxicab, a police car and a diaper-delivery truck. Owners of movie-star cars get paid around $300 a day, he said. Kotzin got into the business through his buddy Chuck Shubb, who calls himself a picture car supplier. Shubb owns some 60 classic cars and belongs to six car clubs, including the Lincoln Club, where he serves as a judge. He collected cars as a hobby while running his construction company until a chance meeting with an art director in 1985. She borrowed a few of his cars to use in commercials and music videos, and soon after,
Shubb’s movie-car business was born. He keeps his vehicles — from a 1914 Ford Model T to a 1929 Packard to a 1963 AMC Rambler — at various locations around the city and still gets under the hoods regularly. His staff includes a mechanic and a driver who moves the cars on a flatbed truck. A soft-spoken 72-year-old who recites his cars’ years and makes like the names of beloved children, Shubb shops swap meets for rare parts and has a machinist make the ones he can’t find. He travels with his cars, though he lamented that so much production has moved out of the area in recent years. Still, there’s one thing he won’t accept: “I don’t do wrecks.” “They’re my babies,” he said. “They’re not replaceable.” As the picture car coordinator, Woods has to do wrecks. They wrecked four classic 1949 Cadillacs in “Gangster Squad,”
along with eight other cars. “We blew them up, crashed them and destroyed them,” he said, adding that there was also “one unforeseen accident where we hit a real 2010 Ford taxi in the middle of the night.” With rare exception, though, his team buys junkyard cars that don’t run, then modifies them for stunts — and destruction. Still, Woods hates to see such classic beauties wrecked. “The integrity of these cars is too much,” he said, adding that none of the working, cared-for vehicles was harmed during the making of the film. “We never ever shot a hole in a single fender,” he said. “Those cars are down here in my office and they’re not even scratched or hurt. All bullet holes were CG.” That’s good news for Kotzin, who draws the line at “no dancing on the hood.”
Beyonce, Clarkson to perform at Obama’s Jan. 21 inauguration BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama can expect some sweet serenades at his inauguration ceremony, with hit-makers Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor on tap to perform some of the country’s most patriotic songs. From Hollywood to Music Row, celebrities have been a staple of Obama’s candidacy and presidency, so it was with
little surprise that some of the biggest names in entertainment are helping him celebrate his Jan. 21 swearing-in. Planners said Wednesday that Obama picked Beyonce to sing the national anthem, Clarkson to sing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and Taylor to sing “America the Beautiful.” Beyonce and Taylor have been devoted Obama supporters. Beyonce sang the Etta James classic “At Last” for the president
and first lady’s dance at the inaugural balls four years ago and hosted a $4 million fundraiser for his re-election. Taylor sang at the White House in Obama’s first term and at the Democratic National Convention last summer. Clarkson, however, once said she was a fan of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul for the 2012 race, although she said she voted Obama in 2008. She said on Twitter Wednesday that she is

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re starting to see that there is no fast way to get there or mysterious process you need to go through. You are willing to work for what you want and so you’ll eventually have it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You go respectfully into different territory, realizing that the scene was set long before you arrived on it and that it will probably go on long after you leave too. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Managing what you own isn’t easy. One Gemini said, “A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life; he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair the rest of his days.” -- Ralph Waldo Emerson CANCER (June 22-July 22). Considering that those who do the opposite of what they believe find it extremely difficult to be happy, or even restful, one way to be happy is simply to do what you believe. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wish that you could control your thinking, but to some extent it’s too much to ask of yourself right now. The best you can do is be aware of the thoughts drifting through and single out the pleasant ones for further examination. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just as soon as you think you’re certain about something, another possibility will emerge to challenge that certainty. So stay open, trusting that you’ll manage whatever comes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve
recently set some ambitious goals. Today you’ll be in just the clearheaded mood to organize your efforts, prioritize your responsibilities and make a plan. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In some religions, the lotus flower is a simple of non-attachment to the material world. Focusing on this symbol will help you rise above the issue that’s been bothering you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If the walls of your kitchen could talk, what would they say? The secrets they know about your eating patterns are a window into how well you’re taking care of yourself these days. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Youth is a gift. Immaturity is a choice. A bit of silly fun will be the perfect remedy for a relationship teetering on dullness. Your charm is amplified by the element of surprise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While some chase after fame and fortune, you’re not so sure you want to be noticed for all you do. There’s something to be said for wanting to learn in private and make your mistakes quietly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Creating is easy for you, but maintaining all of those creations is a lot trickier. You’ll love the challenge of it now. There’s much to order, store, give and throw away. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 13). Not only do you get what you need this year, but you attain it with style. In February, community groups bring business contacts and feed romance. You may disagree with loved ones in March, but your love is unconditional. Your open mind allows for many moments of deep feeling and beauty.

“excited & honored” to be performing. Richard Blanco, the son of Cuban exiles, is the 2013 inaugural poet, joining a select group that includes Maya Angelou and the late Robert Frost. Blanco’s works explore his family’s exile from Cuba and “the intersection of his cultural identities as a Cuban-American gay man,” planners announced. They said Blanco, 44, will be the youngest-ever inaugural poet
and the first Hispanic or gay to recite a poem at the ceremonial swearing-in. Obama also gave a nod to the diversity of styles and backgrounds of the musical performers, saying that “their music is often at the heart of the American story and speaks to folks across the country.” Blanco said in the statement that he was “brimming over with excitement, awe, and gratitude” at being selected.
“In many ways, this is the very ‘stuff’ of the American Dream, which underlies so much of my work and my life’s story — America’s story, really,” he said. The official celebration will include the swearingin on the Capitol’s west front, followed by a luncheon inside the building’s Statuary Hall for 200 including congressional leaders, Cabinet members and Supreme Court justices.

Scenes from 2012 Alcorn Co. Farm & Machinery Outdoor & Home Show
Farming is big business.
The Crossroads Arena is reaching out to the farming community with its Alcorn Farm & Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show. “Things have progressed so much over the last decade in farming,” said Greg Moss, Operations Manager of the Crossroads Arena. “We wanted to do something to reach out not only to the serious farmer but also to the weekend type.” That reaching out has become the largest agricultural-based trade show in Northeast Mississippi. Last year’s event, saw an excess of $5 million in equipment with the auction netting close to $3 million. A week prior to the show, Moss learned equipment committed had already surpassed the $5 million total. The show will also feature some celebrities when it comes to the farming and gardening circles. Greg Peterson, aka Machinery Pete, will be filming segments for his “Machinery Show” that is televised on RFD-TV. The GardenMama Nellie Neal is slated to broadcast her SuperTalk Mississippi radio show on Saturday. Peterson, who puts out a Kelley Blue Book of farming equip-
ment, has been going to farm shows for over 20 years. “I was very impressed last year,” he said. “It’s a challenge to start a regional farm show, but the show had a lot of machinery last year.” Word got out about the success of the first show before it was even over. “We had people calling from three states wanting reservations,” said Moss. This year the base has been expanded to incorporate something for everyone. “It’s going to be pretty impressive whether you are a farmer or not,” said Moss. “Plus it’s a free event.” Doors open on Jan. 17-18 at 9 a.m. and runs through 6 p.m. Farmers can check out the auction equipment beginning at 6 a.m. Saturday with the sale starting at 10 a.m. and lasting to 5 p.m. Inside the facility, vendors will have many items on display. “There will be everything from lawn mowers to barbecue grills inside and even some arts and crafts,” added Moss.
Scenes from 2012 Alcorn Co. Farm & Machinery Outdoor & Home Show
DeWitt is the name to know when it comes to auctioning farm equipment. Founded in 1976, DeWitt Auction Company has become the leader in offering appraisals and selling farm equipment. The company will be in charge of the Alcorn Farm & Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show auction on Jan. 19. “It will be a good sale,” said Jeff DeWitt, company owner. “We have a good consignment of small equipment for the part-time farmer and we also have some big equipment … we take care of our customers.” DeWitt, of Sikeston, Missouri., is considered the premier auction company. Last year, the company helped the Crossroads Arena collect $2.2 million in sales at the used-machinery auction. “The name DeWitt will bring a lot of people,” said Dr. Hardwick Kay, Crossroads Arena Board Chairman. Conducting 50 to 75 farm
equipment auctions a year, along with a monthly equipment auction at the DeWitt Auction lot in Sikeston, DeWitt Auction Co. has become the leader in offering appraisals and selling farm equipment. For the last 36 years DeWitt Auction Co. has constantly
equipment. The company also provides a professional staff to assist in preparing for auction including a full crew on site and loading equipment at conclusion of the auction. If necessary DeWitt can pick up, move, and store equipment. DeWitt guarantees
conducted auctions throughout 12 states and has built an extensive mailing list of buyers from all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, Greece and Central America. DeWitt Auction Co. also offers a complete professional auction service including accurate appraisal of
clear title on purchases and we guarantee seller is not responsible for items after the auction. “We have a good clientele of farmers and will work with both consignors and buyers any way we can,” said DeWitt.

Machinery Pete will have cameras rolling at show Machinery Pete is coming back to the Alcorn County Farm & Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show. The cameras of RFD-TV are also making the trip. Greg Peterson, aka Machinery Pete, is well known in the agriculture business. His “Machinery Show” is televised on RFD-TV. “The national attention he brings will be good for our show and everyone in the community,” said Crossroads Arena Operations Manager Greg Moss. Moss received word from Peterson of his plans to be at the show. “He will shoot the auction and get four Machinery Pete segments for upcoming episodes of the “Machinery Show” while he is here,” said Moss. Two arena board members believe the visit of Peterson for a second straight year is going to get the word out about the show. “This is just another positive that has fallen into place for us,” said board member Sam Tull. “I want to commend Greg and Cindy (Davis) for their work on getting this done,” added board chairman Dr, Hardwick Kay. Peterson, who has been tracking auction prices on all types of farm and construction equipment since 1989, is known as the most
trusted source for used equipment values on the internet. “It should be big fun,” said Peterson. “I will promote the event and auction in advance and also do live Facebook/Twitter posts.” He is also set to work in Youtube videos in advance of the show. The show, set for January 17-19, was billed as the largest agricultural-based trade show in Northeast Mississippi in its first year. “Last year we had in excess of $5 million in equipment with the auction selling around $3 million,” said Tull. DeWitt Auctions of Sikeston, Mo. will be in charge of the used-machinery auction again this year. “The name DeWitt will bring a lot of people,” said Kay. “They are the premier auctioneer in this part of the country,” added Tull. RFD-TV can be seen by DIRECTV subscribers on channel 345 and by DISH Network subscribers on channel 231. The station is home to the most comprehensive lineup of agricul-
ture-based programs. The latest agriculture news and technology can be viewed on the station. “People can get a taste on what they will be seeing by viewing the station,” said Moss. The board decided to change some things up for its second show. “We are going to broaden the base a little bit this year,” said the operations manager. “The name was changed to add home and garden to draw the average person.”

hosting a four-hour training session to tackle farming accidents at the Alcorn Farm & Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show. The training will be held Jan. 17 from 6-10 p.m. and is open to all surrounding fire departments. “The training will be counted as EMT hours and on their academy transcript,” said Corinth fireman Michael Taylor. The training will be conducted by a instructor with the Mississippi State Fire Academy and is no cost for those who attend. “We don’t have many of these types of accidents, but it is important to know what to do should one happen,” said Taylor. According to the fireman, the session will be a classroom type sitting. Farm machinery incidents make up a large part of the farm-related injuries and may result from the equipment’s age, lack of maintenance
Class calls attention to farm accidents
Accidents do happen when dealing with large pieces of farming equipment. The Corinth Fire Department wants firemen and first responders to be ready should an emergency happen locally. The department will be
or missing safety equipment; the operator’s inadequate training; failure to read the operator’s manual; ignoring safety warnings; or failure to follow safety rules. Any of factors can result in entanglement or injury. Farm machinery is totally different from highway vehicles. The equipment is heavier and has a different center of gravity and could be stronger than rescue tools used to extricate victims in normal situations. “Farm equipment today has so many moving parts that it’s important to know how to handle things should an emergency situation happen,” said Taylor.

Nelms turns mowers into pulling machines Lil Herb is set for its debut. The Cub Cadet isn’t an ordinary riding mower or garden tractor. This tractor is built to pull. “It’s amazing to see 3-5,000 pounds pulled down a track by a lawn mower,” said Nelms who is part of the County Line Pullers. Nelms’ Lil Herb -- a member of his Herbie’s Pulling Team -has a 20 horsepower four-wheeler engine that is sure to grab atten-
tion when it’s cranked. The tractor is just one of six pullers that belong to Nelms. “I just try to come up with
something different to build than anyone else,” he said. Tractor pulling competitions are decided not by how fast the vehicle is going but rather who drags a mechanical weight transfer machine or sled the farthest. It isn’t a race. It’s a pulling event. As the vehicle pulls the sled down the track, ballast (weights) that’s in a box which is positioned at the rear of the sled is automatically transferred (mechanically winched) forward on the frame of the sled. This transfer of weight, or ever-increasing of weight, creates friction between the skid pan -- part of the front of the sled -- and the ground, and that in turn
makes the sled harder to pull, eventually stopping the vehicle. According to Nelms, competitors take old Cub Cadets or John Deere 10-12 horsepower riding mowers - usually from the early 1960’s or ‘70s -- an turn them into pullers. “They are hard to find these days,” said Nelms. Bigger tires and a wheelie bar are added after the mowing deck is removed. Weights are also added to the front and rear of the mowers. Engines can also be replaced with other types such as motorcycle, four-wheeler engines or built with two lawn mower engines. There will be several of Nelms “Pulling Team Members” at the Farm & Machinery Show to view.
