MRHC showcases new improvements

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

It never stops for Magnolia Regional Health Center.

The hospital remains committed to making things better for its patients.

The commitment is reaching another level with the completion of a two-year project that will see the opening of a new main entrance along with upgrades to departments such as the emergency room and radiology.

“The community deserves the best health care it can be given” said MRHC CEO / President Rick Napper. “This is not about doctors and employees, it's about the patients and the experiences they have here.”

An open house for the public to see the changes is set for Thursday from 8 a.m. until noon. During the open house, individuals will be taken on tours through the hospital's new emergency room, pre-admission testing area, radiology

department, central scheduling area, women's imaging center and cardiology.

“In the past, it has been very difficult to get into the hospital for patients … there were six points of entering the facility,” said Mark Studdard, vice president of the Heart and Cancer Centers. “One of the goals of the project was to have one main entrance and have all the parking centered around that Please see MRHC | 2A

Rules have been set for the planned year-round Alcorn County Farmers Market on Fulton Drive across from the Crossroads Playhouse and former county jail.

The board of the Fulton Drive farmer’s market, where a covered shed is soon to be constructed, have released a number of rules of operation for the location.

The decision to go to a yearround market reflects the increasing availability of some

items. The year-round market is expected to open up new sales for growers.

The board, which includes McCoy Phillips, President Rufus Duncan Jr., Billy Haynie, David Johnson and Vice President Charlie Crum, has established a permit fee of $25 for farmers and producers to participate in the market yearround. The board is also requiring participating producers to be residents of Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss or TipPlease see MARKET | 3A

Power surge causes damage at arena

“Their promoter reached out to us with an interest to come,” said general manager Tammy Genovese.

“They did a Christmas show here in 2007 and 2009,” Genovese told the board. “We probably need to make a decision pretty quick.”

The promoter wanted the show to be either April 26 or 28.

The Crossroads Arena is waiting for a quote before it can fix its backup power system.

Board members learned Wednesday that a power surge damaged the transfer switch of the facility, leaving the facility with no backup system should something happen.

“It's going to be fairly expensive,” said operations manager Greg Moss. “It could cost $5,000 to $6,000.”

Moss said he was notified recently of a possible lightning strike that destroyed the board in the control room.

Farmers from across the region thought so as hundreds turned out for the equipment auction at the Alcorn Farm & Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show.

“For the second year, it has grown tremendously,” said Crossroads Arena Operations Manager Greg Moss. “I am well pleased with the turnout, and we are in the process of getting ready for a third year.”

Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry was one of many strolling through the numerous pieces of equipment.

entrance.”

Renovations now make the south side or side facing the surgery center as the main entrance. The move also elevates traffic around the hospital and adds another 120 parking spaces.

“When we started, we were looking for a way to move things to the tower,” added Napper.

The $17 million improvement added 23,000 square feet of new space and renovated 27,000 square feet of existing space.

“This building has the most state-of-the-art technology you will find,” said the hospital CEO. The relocation and consolidation of some existing services to the tower increases the square footage to 53,000. In 2007, Robins and Morton completed a major expansion project involving construction of a medical office building, patient tower, and new surgery areas along with the addition of 84 beds.

In the latest renovations, emergency rooms were made bigger with more privacy. All rooms are now single instead of double occupant. There are now 25 rooms — up from 24 — and the trauma rooms have increased from two to three rooms.

“We have really advanced the trauma side,” added Napper.

Napper said the hospital will move all necessary equipment into the areas Feb. 1 and start seeing patients the following day.

MRHC has also purchased three new Philips CT Scanners. A new MRI Machine equipped with Ambient Therapy. The type of therapy removes the institutional noise, both mechanical and human, that contributes to a patient’s feelings of confinement, uncertainty and being unwell.

“You have to go a long way to find something better than this,” said Napper. “It's very special and the ease of getting in and out of the hospital will be phenomenal.”

Ronald Benjamin Clements, 24, of Hwy. 4 West, Booneville, was ar-

Comfort Revolution begins operations in Belmont For the Daily Corinthian

BELMONT — Gov. Phil Bryant welcomes a new business to Mississippi as Comfort Revolution gets ready to open shop in Tishomingo County. Comfort Revolution is a developer of high-end sleep products and is projected to create 200 new jobs over the next three years.

Comfort Revolution announced in September 2012 it would locate operations in the 432,650-square-foot facility formerly occupied by Schnadig Furniture Corporation.

“It’s an exciting day for Belmont and Tishomingo County as Comfort Revolution opens its doors for business and becomes the newest member of Mississippi’s business community,” Gov. Bryant said. “I

am grateful to company officials for choosing to locate in Mississippi, and I look forward to a long partnership.”

“I’ve always been impressed with the honesty and integrity of the people who live here. So when I started looking at site plans for a new plant, my thoughts naturally turned to Mississippi,” Comfort Revolution Chief Executive Office Michael Fux said. “We are pleased to unveil this innovative, state-of-the-art facility to produce the finest mattresses, toppers and bed pillows available at retail stores today. And we are proud that once again we can label our products ‘made in America!’

The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) provided assistance for

infrastructure improvements in support of the project.

Tishomingo County provided assistance for the project, as well.

“I congratulate Comfort Revolution on this milestone, and I look forward to watching the company thrive in Tishomingo County,” said MDA Executive Director Brent Christensen. “We thank our partners in Tishomingo County for working with us in support of this project, and I extend my congratulations to them, as well, on this exciting day.”

Headquartered in West Long Branch, N.J., Comfort Revolution is a developer and marketer of high-end, revolutionary mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows.

Board of Supervisors recently gave approval to build the covered shed near the recycling area on Fulton Drive.

The market will be open daily from daylight until dark.

All items sold in the market, including vegetables, fruits, plants or small homemade crafts, must be grown or made by the person whose names is on the permit, according to the committee.

To sell any crafts, 75 percent of sales must come from fruits, vegetables or plants. The permit must be displayed at all times while the person is selling at the market.

“You must grow or make it yourself to be able to sell it the Alcorn County Farmers Market on Fulton Drive,” states

the committee in its outline of rules, which notes the market isn’t intended to be a flea market.

Each grower is responsible for reviewing and adhering to any health department regulations, which had restrictions on canned and baked goods, noted the committee.

“Fraudulent, dishonest or deceptive merchandising or collusion to set prices among growers is prohibited. Camaraderie and cooperation among growers is encouraged,” states the market’s conduct code.

Other general rules include no resale of items, no cooking, parking only where authorized, no pets allowed, no sale of animals, plus bans of alcoholic beverages, profanity, gambling and loitering.

“Glen (Mynatt) is working with several forestry consultants and timber companies to come up with some trees for the giveaway,” said Mitchell.

Mynatt is an Alcorn County forester.

State issues include PERS, guns, education

BY CLAYTON STANLEY Columnist

The 2013 legislative session is under way and members have education, guns and PERS on their minds.

After a slow first week marked with members reacquainting themselves and the introduction of a few newly elected ones, activity in the Mississippi legislature began to pick up during the second week.

It should be noted the legislative process in Mississippi is very structured and lasts just 90 calendar days, consequently there are numerous deadlines to keep the process on track. This past week marked the first of such deadlines. Wednesday was the deadline for members to make a request with the Capitol drafting attorneys to have a bill drafted. The next deadline is Monday, at which time all general bills must be filed in either the House or Senate.

After Monday, committees will begin meeting in earnest and bills will start being reported out of the various committees. Once the bills start coming out of committee, they will go to the General Calendar, where they can start being brought up for floor debate in either the House or Senate. While it is likely that some floor debate will occur this week on a few of the higher profile issues, most of week three will be taken up by the smaller committee meetings going on throughout the Capitol.

Like most weeks of a legislative session, there are a few issues that garner most of the conversation and action in any given week.

This past week, a lot of the excitement was around the issue of charter schools. Allowing charter schools has been a priority for the governor, lt. governor and speaker since they began their respective campaigns in 2011. After a long but unsuccessful fight during the 2012 session, the state's leaders appear to be more determined than ever to pass a bill this session.

It came as no surprise when the Senate Education Committee went right to work on Tuesday and passed Senate Bill 2189, which would allow not-for-profit charter schools to be established in Mississippi. This action by the committee moved the bill to the entire Senate where on Wednesday, Senator Tollison brought the bill up for consideration. After a long and at times spirited floor debate, the bill passed with bipartisan support, 31-17.

Two other issues that had legislators’ phones ringing were the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) and gun laws.

Sen. Nancy Collins filed a bill proposing changes to PERS. Only time will tell how far this bill will advance in the legislative process, but what it has done is start an important dialog on the long term solvency of the program.

On Wednesday, Speaker Gunn held a press conference to address concerns of many that Washington may try to infringe on gun rights.

He was joined by Gov. Bryant and members of the House, where they declared that they would do anything legally possible to resist such changes.

Expect the action to pick up considerably Monday when both the House and Senate reconvene at 4 p.m.

Prayer for today

Mental health treatment must remain priority STARKVILLE — President Barack Obama’s strategy of responding to the Connecticut school shootings and other recent mass shootings with overreaching limits on Second Amendment rights is burdened by precious little attention to the mental health component of such atrocities.

Obama proposes background checks on all gun sales, a renewal for the former assault weapons ban, renewal of a 10-round limit on magazines, a prohibition on ownership of armor-piercing ammunition and other initiatives designed to impede Second Amendment rights.

But in terms of the mental health component of such crimes, the president’s initiatives are far less bold and intrusive on individual liberties.

Here in Mississippi, where public officials from the Governor’s Mansion to the town hall of the smallest hamlet are usually gun owners and staunch defenders of Second Amendment rights, the reaction was predictable. Gov. Phil Bryant flatly promised to block any new federal gun restrictions -- that after forming a task force to make school safety recom-

former Arizona U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the mass shooting at the Aurora, CO, movie theater and in the Connecticut school shooting, guns were only half of the common denominators of those crimes. The fact that all three of these shooters had identifiable patterns of mental illness is left in the political dust of a rush to implement new laws that erode basic gun ownership rights.

The proposed laws speak directly to the question of just whom the Obama administration thinks should or should not own guns and what type of guns they should be allowed to own.

But the same standards aren’t applied in the administration’s proposals to deal with how the federal government or state governments deal with the problems of mental health and funding mental health treatment.

The fact is, Mississippi -for all our “pry it from my cold, dead hand” majority views on gun rights -- operates a mental health system that is lacking in many, many ways but is clearly more robust and responsive than that of our peer states.

As I recently cited, the

National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors Research Institute reported that in Fiscal Year 2009, percapita spending on mental health agencies in Mississippi was $108.96 per capita. That compared with a national average of $122.90 per capita. Alabama spent $77.89 per capita on mental health, while Arkansas spent $42.77, Louisiana spent $71.80 and Tennessee spent $78.31. Mississippi’s mental health funding declined 10.4 percent between Fiscal Year 2009 and Fiscal Year 2012 -- but that percentage cut was far greater in other Southern states.

The question now remains whether Mississippi’s mental health system is efficient and effective enough to be a reliable factor in the Mississippi school safety debate. State officials who are leading on the protection of gun rights have an obligation -- one President Obama skirted -to lead equally well on the mental health component of school safety.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves is on record opposing any infringement on current Second Amendment rights and got out front of proposed legislation to fund a $7.5 million grant program to helps Mississippi schools hire more armed law enforcement officers.

Legal scholars question how effective the efforts of state officials to block federal gun restrictions can be. Since Southern states are virtually uniform in their opposition to additional gun restrictions, it stands to reason that many of those same legal scholars cite the “supremacy clause” of the Constitution as the basis for their doubts and liken opposition to new federal guns laws today to opposition to new federal civil rights laws in the 1960s.

There is a district-wide financial concern focusing upon the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). It is a source of anxiety to both the retired public citizens and to the legislators who are responsible to maintain good stewardship of the funds entrusted to them.

Senator Nancy Collins has proposed bold action.

I respect her proposal, but I cannot support it at this time. I agree that a path must be developed to ensure stability for the current recipients of state funded retirements. And, if we are to embrace 21st century growth, we must implement methods to continue to support the current employees and to provide attractive hiring policies to future employees.

This crisis is real and

the repercussions could be dramatic. It is documented that the state retirement funding level is at 58 percent which is well below the industry standard of 80 percent. For example, if Mississippi were to experience the ‘perfect financial storm,’ only 58 percent of state claims could be funded by PERS. That is a very sobering statistic.

So what can be done to avoid these fiscal events and to incorporate a reasonable course to protect the current and provide stability for future recipients?

The solutions begin with communication, research, and responsibility. With the compass of accountability and responsibility to all Mississippi citizens, guidance and direction should be welcomed from all statewide entities to include but not limited to PERS, the State Personnel Board, the State Economist, the Legislature and any agency or department that could be affected by the budget and retirement systems. Research and factual data should take precedence over emotional

conversation.

PERS is not out of money and it will continue to support its obligations and commitments. But we must be truthful in our assessment and recognize that Mississippi must remain competitive in a difficult economy. To accomplish that goal, we must work toward a realistic solution that will maintain the integrity of the retirement system and the common sense implementation of the financial parameters of our state.

A subject of immense importance is gun control legislation. I have received countless messages expressing your emotions ranging from concern to compassion and from frustration to reason. I share all of these passions with you, but with this Second Amendment debate, you and I share the same boundaries. As you know, this is a federal discussion and not a state matter.

However, our freedom will neither be dismissed nor ignored.

In the Senate, I have proposed two pieces of legislation to protect and insure that freedom. The first bill

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

would enable Mississippi to share in a proposed Montana legislation that states in part: an act exempting from federal regulation under the commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition manufactured and retained in Mississippi…

The second item of legislation would permit those citizens who have completed the ‘Enhanced Carry Permit’ requirements in the state of Mississippi, to be exempt from the ban on weapons imposed by the Federal government.

I can assure you that I have shared my thoughts and opinions about the proposed federal gun control legislation to my district and state legislators in Washington, D.C. I am eager to know of your issues, your opinions, your challenges and your achievements.

State Briefs Associated Press

Bills to remove gun permits from records JACKSON — Some Mississippi lawmakers propose cutting off public access to records about state-issued permits forpeople to carry concealed guns.

Rep. Mark Baker of Brandon and Sen. Will Longwitz of Madison say they want the change because a newspaper in New York published names and other information about people there who have concealed weapons permits.

The two Republicans said permit holders shouldn’t have to worry about their address or other personal informa-

tion being publicly disclosed.

No permit is required for people to have guns in their homes, businesses or vehicles, and no permit is required for antique or collectible weapons. Baker said the document gives permission for someone to carry a pistol or revolver concealed in a bag or under a jacket in other places, such as public sidewalks.

A background check is required before a permit is issued. Baker told The Associated Press that he filed a bill after receiving requests from constituents who believe it’s none of anyone else’s business if they carry concealed guns.

“It just struck me that

simply because the document is in possession of the government does not, in my mind, make it a public document,” Baker said.

Under current law, information about a concealed weapons permit becomes public record 45 days after the document is issued or the application is denied. The documents are filed with the state Department of Public Safety.

State agency inspects only abortion clinic JACKSON — The state Health Department this week conducted an unannounced inspection of Mississippi’s only abortion clinic to see if it’s complying with a 2012 state law

that eventually could put it out of business.

Findings from the Wednesday inspection aren’t being released to the public yet, but clinic owner Diane Derzis said last week that her Jackson Women’s Health Organization had been unable to meet the law’s requirements.

Meanwhile, the clinic remains open as it goes through a lengthy process that’s set out in a separate a state law governing administrative procedures.

Health Department spokeswoman Liz Sharlot said Friday that it is standard practice for findings of an inspection to be given first to any facility the department examines, whether it’s a clinic, hospital, restaurant or day care

center. The findings would later be made public.

“They got treated the same way as any other facility we license,” Sharlot told The Associated Press.

Derzis has said the clinic missed a Jan. 11 deadline to comply with a law requiring every person doing abortion there to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. She said the three physicians who do most of the abortions at the clinic applied for privileges at several Jacksonarea hospitals, but did not receive them.

Signet Maritime plans $3.6 million expansion PASCAGOULA — Signet Maritime Corporate has announced plans for a

$3.6 million expansion of its shipbuilding and repair operations at the Port of Pascagoula, creating 50 additional jobs.

The company said the 50 spots have already been filled, and those new employees will assist the construction of a new tractor tug boat, Signet Magic, which is a 140-by-40-foot heavy deck barge.

The Sun Herald reports the expansion also will include additional repair work for customer and company vessels, construction of new fabrication and support shops, a new 1,000foot waterfront bulkhead and more office space.

The company said it is expanding its facilities to meet an increase in demand for shipbuilding and fleet repair.

Inauguration Day marks rare intersection with King Associated Press

ATLANTA — President Barack Obama plans to use a Bible that belonged to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as he takes his oath of office on the holiday honoring the slain icon, marking what some say is an inextricable tie between the nation’s first black president and the civil rights movement.

It’s only the second time Inauguration Day has coincided with the King holiday. Some say it’s only fitting the celebrations are intertwined.

“It’s almost like fate and history coming together,” said U.S. Rep. John Lewis, who worked alongside King in the fight for civil rights during the 1950s and ‘60s and plans to attend the inauguration. “If it hadn’t been for Martin Luther King Jr., there would be no Barack Obama as president.”

Some King commemorations have been shuffled around to accommodate the inauguration, though others are going on as planned.

King’s youngest daughter, Bernice King, plans to attend the observance of her father’s memory at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where he preached, and said she doesn’t fear the inauguration will overshadow the celebration.

“I think it enhances the observance, actually,

because it heightens people’s awareness about the King holiday,” she said. “I also think it gives some sort of validation to the significant work that my father made to this country, to this world, in fact.”

The only other time a presidential inauguration has fallen on the King holiday was in 1997 at the start of President Bill Clinton’s second term.

Clinton invoked King’s memory in his inaugural address, and events were planned throughout the inauguration weekend to commemorate King.

“Thirty-four years ago, the man whose life we celebrate today spoke to us down there at the other end of this Mall in words that moved the conscience of a nation. Like a prophet of old, he told of his dream that one day America would rise up and treat all its citizens as equals before the law and in the heart,” Clinton said in his address. “Martin Luther King’s dream was the American dream.”

Obama plans to incorporate the legacy of the civil rights movement into his inauguration.

Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of slain civil rights activist Medgar Evers, is slated to deliver the invocation.

The president also plans to take the oath of office for his second term with his hand on two Bi-

bles, one owned by King and one by Abraham Lincoln. As he takes the oath, Obama will be facing the Lincoln Memorial, where King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech 50 years ago this August.

Having the president call for her father’s Bible was a special moment, Bernice King said.

“What a significant honor,” she said. “To me, it’s like another elevation for my father.”

Obama also plans to honor King throughout his inaugural weekend, beginning by asking Americans to volunteer in their communities on Saturday to honor the civil right leader’s legacy of service. Inaugural planners also say there will be a float honoring King in the parade to the White House after the swearing-in ceremony.

In Washington and Baltimore, however, annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day parades have been moved to avoid conflicting with the inauguration. The Baltimore parade, typically a major event in the majorityblack city, will be held Saturday.

The parade along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in southeast Washington has been moved to April 20, the 50-year anniversary of King’s release from a Birmingham, Ala., jail.

out what happened,” Kosugi said.

In the case of the 787 in Boston, the battery in the plane’s auxiliary power unit had recently received a large demand on its power and was in the process of charging when the fire ignited, a source familiar with the investigation of the 787 fire in Boston told The Associated Press. The plane had landed a short time earlier and was empty of passengers, although a cleaning crew was working in the plane.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency order Wednesday temporarily grounding the six 787s belonging to United Airlines, the lone U.S. carrier operating Boeing’s newest and most technologically advanced airliner. The Japanese carriers already had grounded their 787s, and airlines and civil aviation authorities in other countries followed suit, shutting down all 50 Dreamliners that Boeing has delivered so far.

Boeing said Friday it will stop delivering new 787s to customers until the electrical system is fixed. However, production is not stopping. The plane is assembled in Everett, Wash., and North Charleston, S.C. The aircraft maker has booked orders for more than 800 of the planes from airlines around the world attracted by its increased fuel efficiency.

A battery fire in a Cessna Citation CJ4, a business jet, prompted the Federal Aviation Administration in October 2011 to issue an emergency order requiring the lithium ion batteries in all 42 of the jets in operation at that time to be replaced with a conventional nickel-cadmium or lead-acid battery. The fire occurred while the plane was hooked up to a ground power station at Cessna’s aircraft completion center in Wichita, Kan. Normally, that would cause an aircraft battery to automatically start charging, experts said.

A letter from Cessna to CJ4 owners after the incident cautioned: “Do not connect a ground power unit to the airplane if you have reason to believe the battery may be in a depleted state ...

Do not leave the aircraft unattended with a ground power unit connected.”

The Citation was Cessna’s first business jet with a lithium ion battery as its main battery, and the 787 is the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium ion batteries.

But the two are vastly different in size and in other respects, including their electrical systems, making comparisons difficult.

Their batteries also came from different makers.

The reasons they overcharged are likely to be different, experts said.

Nation Briefs Associated Press

Rallies against strict gun control draw hundreds AUSTIN, Texas — Hundreds of gun owners and Second Amendment advocates rallied in state capitals nationwide Saturday, days after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping package of federal guncontrol proposals.

Some 600 attendees in Austin, Texas, carried signs bearing messages such as “An Armed Society is a Polite Society” and “The Second Amendment Comes from God.” About 2,000 people — many carrying American flags and “Don’t Tread On Me” banners —

turned out for the chilly outdoor rally at the New York state capitol in Albany.

The “Guns Across America” rallies, which activists promoted primarily via social media, also followed New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signing this week of the nation’s toughest assault weapon and magazine restrictions.

Republican Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin told the crowd in Albany that New York’s new law was an “abuse of power” by the governor.

“This is an outrage against humanity, what we’re seeing,” said protester Robert Candea, of Warwick, who brought his family along.

Police in Connecticut said about 1,000 people showed up on the capitol grounds in Hartford, about 50 miles from the site of last month’s mass shooting at Newtown’s Sandy Hook Elementary School. Demonstrators there urged state and federal authorities not to introduce new restrictions on gun ownership as task forces created by the Legislature and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy consider changes to state gun laws.

Marines study mindfulness training CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — The U.S. Marine Corps, known for turning out some of the military’s toughest warriors, is studying how to make its troops even tougher through meditative practices, yoga-type stretching and exercises based on mindfulness.

Marine Corps officials say they will build a curriculum that would integrate mindfulness-based techniques into their training if they see positive results from a pilot project. Mindfulness is a Buddhist-inspired concept that emphasizes active attention on the moment to keep the mind in the present.

Facing a record suicide rate and thousands of veterans seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress, the military has been searching for ways to reduce strains on service members burdened with more than a decade of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Marine Corps officials are testing a series of brain calming exercises called “MindfulnessBased Mind Fitness Training” that they believe could enhance the performance of troops, who are under mounting pressures from long deployments and looming budget cuts expected to slim down forces.

“Some people might say these are Easternbased religious practices but this goes way beyond that,” said Jeffery Bearor, the executive deputy of the Marine Corps training and edu-

cation command at its headquarters in Quantico, Va.. “This is not tied to any religious practice.

This is about mental preparation to better handle stress.”

The School InfantryWest at Camp Pendleton will offer the eight-week course starting Tuesday to about 80 Marines.

The experiment builds on a 2011 study involving 160 Marines who were taught to focus their attention by concentrating on their body’s sensations, including breathing, in a period of silence. The Marines practiced the calming methods after being immersed in a mock Afghan village with screaming actors and controlled blasts to expose them to combat stress. Naval Health Research Center scientist Douglas C. Johnson, who is leading the research, monitored their reactions by looking at blood and saliva samples, images of their brains and problem-solving tests they took.

Overcharged batteries eyed in Boeing mishaps WASHINGTON — It’s likely that burning lithium ion batteries on two Boeing 787 Dreamliners were caused by overcharging, aviation safety and battery experts said Friday, pointing to developments in the investigation of the Boeing incidents as well as a battery fire in a business jet more than a year ago.

An investigator in Japan, where a 787 made an emergency landing earlier this week, said the charred insides of the plane’s lithium ion battery show the battery received voltage in excess of its design limits.

The similarity of the burned battery from the All Nippon Airways flight to the burned battery in a Japan Airlines 787 that caught fire Jan. 7 while the jet was parked at Boston’s Logan International Airport suggests a common cause, Japan transport ministry investigator Hideyo Kosugi said.

“If we compare data from the latest case here and that in the U.S., we can pretty much figure

House to vote on debt limit increase WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House will vote next week to permit the government to borrow more money to meet its obligations, a move aimed at heading off a market-rattling confrontation with President Barack Obama over the so-called debt limit.

Full details aren’t settled yet, but the measure would give the government about three more months of borrowing authority beyond a deadline expected to hit as early as mid-February, No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor of Virginia said Friday.

The legislation wouldn’t require immediate spending cuts as earlier promised by GOP leaders like Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. Instead, it’s aimed at forcing the Democraticcontrolled Senate to join the House in debating the federal budget. It would try to do so by conditioning pay for members of Congress on passing budget measures through the House and Senate.

“We are going to pursue strategies that will obligate the Senate to finally join the House in confronting the government’s spending problem,” Boehner told GOP lawmakers at a retreat in Williamsburg, Va. “The principle is simple: ‘no budget, no pay.”’

also established that the disgraced cycling champion had spent much of his life as an aggressive liar and weakened a lot of what was to follow as a viewing experience.

Armstrong even admitted it at points.

He knew people tuning in would have a hard time believing much of what he said.

There were no tears, no pleading for sympathy.

Armstrong was a beaten man, and he knew it.

For Winfrey, it was a particularly challenging interview. She needed to get in the weeds of technical material involving drugs, investigations and a huge cast of characters and accusations. Yet it was important not to get lost in those weeds, to keep sight of the human element, and for the most part she handled it ably.

Winfrey discussed the accusations that Armstrong had essentially led the doping program involving his cycling team, putting pressure on teammates to join him and race dirty. Armstrong said he never explicitly told teammates they had to dope â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite testimony to the contrary that Winfrey reported â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but acknowledged that his own position as the team leader amounted to implicit pressure.

Winfrey recognized that for what it was:

BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The most effective part of Oprah Winfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interview with Lance Armstrong came right at the beginning: five questions, five oneword answers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each of them the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes or no,â&#x20AC;? Winfrey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was one of those banned substances EPO? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you ever use any other banned substances like testosterone, cortisone or human growth hormones? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all seven of your Tour de France victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood dope?â&#x20AC;?

Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. In what Winfrey has called the most important interview of her television career, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be accused of burying the lead. It set up everything that followed in the first, 90-minute segment of Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confessional, aired Thursday night.

It was a program that was seen by a total of 3.2 million viewers and an additional 1.1 million in a repeat airing immediately afterward. (Part two aired Friday.)

This opening sequence

semantics. Then she abruptly switched gears to ask Armstrong: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Were you a bully?â&#x20AC;?

It was a talk-show hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question, not necessarily a journalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

And it was brutally effective.

Armstrong seemed initially taken aback but admitted to it and explained what led to his behavior.

She showed tapes of Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive denials through the years and explained how he often set his lawyers on old friends or colleagues that accused him of doping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suing people and you know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling the truth?â&#x20AC;? Winfrey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is that?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major flaw,â&#x20AC;?

Armstrong answered, blandly. Winfrey could have come at him even harder.

In an especially chilling and effective passage, Winfrey got Armstrong to admit he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel what he was doing was wrong at the time.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like he was cheating.

Winfrey showed some nervousness after the interviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong opening that manifested itself in interrupting Armstrong before he could fully answer a question. An effective TV interviewer needs to know when to give the subject some space and when to bore in, and Winfrey mostly achieved that mix after

settling down.

After Armstrong batted away a general question about the doping culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;how did it all work?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Winfrey quickly learned to be specific in these discussions. At one point Armstrong acknowledged calling one former friend who had turned on him crazy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I never called her fat.â&#x20AC;? It was ridiculous, and Winfrey should have called him on it.

Winfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggling OWN network took advantage of the high-profile interview by using virtually every commercial break to promote its other programming. The time between commercial breaks shortened to the point of distraction in the final third of the 90-minute program.

Winfrey asked the most pressing question after Armstrong got his admissions out of the way at the top of the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 13 years you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just deny it, you brazenly and defiantly denied everything you just admitted right now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So why now admit it?â&#x20AC;?

Armstrong acknowledged the importance of the question, and said he had no real answer. One suspects that if the question is asked again, and yet again if need be, that an answer might emerge.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to look forward to in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Part two.

Road upgrades on hold at USM posal.

The Hattiesburg American reports that other campus road improvements could be on the horizon, once a new administration is in place at the university.

The state College Board interviewed candidates this past week to replace Martha Saunders, who resigned as president in April.

Before Saunders left, she and the Executive Cabinet formed the Traffic and Circulation Flow

Associated Press

HATTIESBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; University of Southern Mississippi officials are looking at ways to improve the traffic flow on the Hattiesburg campus but they are abandoning plans for a road between the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Nursing and Liberal Arts buildings.

GLEN — Alcorn Central is still looking for a win after dropping a pair of games against the Tigers of Middleton, Tenn., on Saturday night.

For the Lady Bears, defeated in a 6948 final, the game is the second consecutive loss following their Thursday game against Hardin County, Tenn.

The Golden Bears losing streak extends to three games following their 57-52 defeat, with Hardin County, and Booneville completing the trio.

The Lady Bears again struggled in the opening quarter after putting up only 5 points, The Tigers cruised to the win, never holding a lead less then 10 points for the duration of the game.

Averdale Joy ranked first in scoring for both teams at 30 points, assisted by four 3-point shots in the middle period of play.

Deja Faulkner also earned double digits for Middleton, earning 21 inside the paint.

Gwyn Foster lead for the Lady Bears with 14 points, with Haley Barnes grabbing 10.

In the final game, the first quarter saw three ties between the Tigers and Central.

A lay-up from Middleton’s Deshun Thomas gave the Tigers a 15-13 advantage.

Two back-to-back 3-pointers by Trdarius Girley put the Tigers up to a 10 point leading entering the half.

The Bears trailed for the remainder of the game, reducing the lead to as little as four points in the closing quar-

The Corinth Warriors did everything but win the state soccer title in their first season back in Class 4A. Corinth (11-6-2) begins a new road to Clinton on Monday, hosting Florence in a 5 p.m. contest at Warrior Stadium II. “This team is really committed to one another and it’s great to coach them,” said Parker.

The Corinth girls finished as runners-up in Division 1-4A and will travel to Germantown on Tuesday for a first-round match.

■ Corinth finished 17-32 last season, winning two

straight 3-2 thrillers en route to the North Half title. Bay High edged the Warriors 2-1 in the 4A title game.

Despite losing six starters from last season, Gregg Parker’s 2012-2013 club finished off a second straight unbeaten season in 1-4A. Consecutive road wins on Thursday and Friday over New Albany and Tishomingo County, respectively, to secure a 6-0 mark.

John Michael McFall provided the game winner in a 3-2 game at New Albany. The Warriors closed out the regular season with a 3-1 win at Tishomingo County.

“The New Albany game was brilliant. They worked their tails off and stayed with the

game plan,” said Parker. “We just didn’t click as well on Friday, be it from dead legs or cold weather.”

Of Corinth’s six losses, only one is against a school in the same classification. That came to Division 2-4A champion Amory.

CHS also lost to 5A Oxford (twice), 6A Tupelo, and two other 5A clubs in Saltillo and Center Hill.

“We went through a string of losses in games that we should have won,” said Parker. “You don’t like losing them, but I think we learned from it and gave us a little extra down the stretch.”

Among the starters gone from last season were the

team’s top three — John Mathis, Josh Trest and Albert Stanley — in goals and assists. Parker cited the work of Fletcher Hall, McFall and Graves Marshall to this year’s success.

“They’ve really stepped up,” said Parker. “It’s good watching them come into their own this year.”

Preston Snyder has also filled the void at goalkeeper following the graduation of Cullen Grantham. The new keeper has fared well despite being only and eighth grader.

“He’s been phenomenal,” said Parker. “It’s hard to look out there and think that he’s Please see WARRIORS | 9A

Ole Miss’ Murphy Holloway (31) goes up for two of his 15 points in the Rebels’ 76-64 win over Arkansas on Saturday. The senior added a game-high 11 rebounds for his 34th career double-double.

Turn back the clock: Ole Miss 4-0 in SEC Associated Press

OXFORD — First there was the terrible shooting touch and then a power outage plunged Tad Smith Coliseum into darkness.

Ole Miss senior Murphy Holloway could have been frustrated, but instead he just laughed it off. Not much can faze these Rebels, and now they’re off to their best start in Southeastern Conference

play since the 1936-37 season.

Marshall Henderson scored 16 points, Murphy Holloway added 15 and Ole Miss slowly pulled away late in the second half for a 76-64 victory over Arkansas on Saturday afternoon.

“I’m proud that our team continues to find a way to win,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “We’ve still got a lot of things that we can im-

prove. It’s the first time we’ve started 4-0 since 1937, but that actually has absolutely nothing to do with this group.

They don’t think about any of that stuff. It’s just about us getting better and getting to the next game. Obviously, the spotlight’s gotten a little brighter.”

The hard-fought game was stopped by an approximately 30-minute long power outage

with 5:37 left in the first half, which school officials said was due to a power failure that affected a large chunk of the campus. Ole Miss led 2421 when the court went dark, and the Rebels seemed to respond better to the lengthy delay, pushing the lead to 34-26 by halftime when play finally resumed.

Tennessee tops MSU for first league victory Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee finally gave Jordan McRae some help, and the Volunteers finally picked up their first Southeastern Conference victory.

Jarnell Stokes scored 18 points and pulled down 11 rebounds Saturday as Tennessee defeated Mississippi State 72-57 to avoid starting 0-4 in

SEC competition for the first time since 1993-94.

Josh Richardson added 16 points and McRae had 12 points as the Volunteers (9-7, 1-3) snapped a four-game losing streak.

It also ended a string of four consecutive games in which McRae had scored over 20 points.

“We just wanted to over-

come,” Stokes said. “We feel all we needed was one win, and now we can bounce back.

We have a great opportunity Thursday (at Mississippi) to turn things around.”

The Vols lost three of their first four SEC games last year but rebounded to finish second in the league with a 10-6 conference record. The last time Tennessee started 0-3

in league play was 1997-98, when it went on to finish 20-9 overall and reach the NCAA tournament.

Tennessee believes it can produce a similar turnaround this year.

“Just keep playing well,” Richardson said. “I don’t think it’s going to be that tough. Just play like we know how to play, and we’ll be fine.”

Hall of Fame Cardinal Stan Musial dies at 92 Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Stan Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals star with the corkscrew stance and too many batting records to fit on his Hall of Fame plaque, died Saturday. He was 92.

Stan the Man was so revered in St. Louis that two statues in his honor stand

outside Busch Stadium — one just wouldn’t do him justice. He was one of baseball’s greatest hitters, every bit the equal of Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio even without the bright lights of the big city.

Musial won seven National League batting titles, was a three-time MVP and helped

the Cardinals capture three World Series championships in the 1940s.

The Cardinals announced Musial’s death in a news release. They said he died Saturday evening at his home in Ladue, a St. Louis suburb, surrounded by his family.

The team said Musial’s son-

in-law, Dave Edmonds, informed the club of Musial’s death.

“I never heard anybody say a bad word about him, ever,” Willie Mays said in a statement released by the Hall of Fame.

“Arkansas was probably more mad about it than we were,” Holloway said with a grin. “We go to Ole Miss — a lot of stuff doesn’t work right around here.”

Ole Miss’ home court — affectionately known as the “Tad Pad” — is one of the older facilities in the SEC and isn’t known for its aesthetic beauty. It’s also had issues before, like during a Ole Miss-Tennessee women’s game in 2011 when a rainstorm outside leaked through the roof and flooded the floor.

But when the lights were on during Saturday’s game, the Tad Pad was loud. The school announced a second straight sellout.

The Rebels didn’t make a 3-pointer in the first half, but hit six of them after halftime to slowly pull away. Jarvis Summers and Nick Williams both added 14 points to help extend the team’s winning streak to seven games.

Williams began the season as a starter, but has moved into a sixth man role that he’s embraced. He was 3 of 5 from 3-point range.

“I had to get used to it at first,” Williams said. “Me and coach talked about some ways I can help the team and we thought that was best.”

WARRIORS CONTINUED FROM 8A

only in the eighth grade.”

Corinth and Florence met in the second round last year, with the Warriors taking a 3-2 win in overtime. CHS also got a late goal that knotted the quarterfinal bout at 2-2.

Florence comes in with a losing record and has given up more goals than it’s scored. Heading into Friday’s game, the Eagles had managed just 41 goals.

Parker knows those numbers don’t tell the whole story.

“They’ve played a really tough schedule, including a lot of the big schools in and around Jackson,” he said. “From what I’ve been able to gather, they are every bit as strong as last season.

“I also expect them to play with a chip on their shoulder because we put them out last year.”

Admission — which is set by the Mississippi High School Activities Association — is $ 7.

MUSIAL CONTINUED FROM 8A

Earlier on Saturday, baseball lost another Hall of Famer when longtime Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver died at age 82.

Musial spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and made the All-Star team 24 times — baseball held two AllStar games each summer for a few seasons. He was the longest-tenured living Hall of Famer.

“Stan will be remem-

bered in baseball annals as one of the pillars of our game,” Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said.

“The mold broke with Stan. There will never be another like him.”

A pitcher in the low minors until he injured his arm, Musial turned to playing the outfield and first base. It was a stroke of luck for him, as he went on to hit .331 with 475 home runs before retiring in 1963.

Widely considered the greatest Cardinals player

ever, the outfielder and first baseman was the first person in team history to have his number retired.

Ol’ 6 probably was the most popular, too, especially after Albert Pujols skipped town.

“I will cherish my friendship with Stan for as long as I live,” Pujols wrote on Twitter. “Rest in Peace.”

At the suggestion of a pal, actor John Wayne, Musial carried around autographed cards of himself to give away. He enjoyed doing magic tricks for kids

and was fond of pulling out a harmonica to entertain crowds with a favorite, “The Wabash Cannonball.”

Humble, scandal-free, and eager to play every day, Musial struck a chord with fans throughout the Midwest and beyond. For much of his career, St. Louis was the most western outpost in the majors, and the Cardinals’ vast radio network spread word about him in all directions.

Farmers in the field and families on the porch

would tune in, as did a future president — Bill Clinton recalled doing his homework listening to Musial’s exploits.

“We have lost the most beloved member of the Cardinals family,” team chairman William DeWitt Jr. said.

Musial’s public appearances dwindled in recent years, though he took part in the pregame festivities at Busch during the 2011 postseason as the Cardinals won the World Series.

And he was at the White

House in February 2011 when President Barack Obama presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor for contributions to society.

At the ceremony, President Obama said: “Stan remains to this day an icon untarnished, a beloved pillar of the community, a gentleman you’d want your kids to emulate.”

He certainly delivered at the plate.

Musial never struck out 50 times in a season.

Sunday, January 27th

First Baptist Church 501 Main Street, Corinth, MS

10:45 am and 6:30 pm

Nationally known speaker, David Ring, will be speaking Sunday, January 27th, at First Baptist Church. The service will focus on how to emerge victorious rather than victimized in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. David Ring knows a thing or two about being victorious in the face of insurmountable odds. Born in 1953, David was deprived of oxygen for 18 minutes at birth leaving him with cerebral palsy. Orphaned at the age of 14 after both parents died of cancer, he was cast from family to family with nowhere to call home. He endured constant physical pain, humiliating public ridicule and constant discouragement. Yet he chose to be victorious rather than a victim. After surrendering his heart and life to Jesus Christ, he learned self-respect and acceptance of his physical challenges. To most, physical challenges of this magnitude would prove to be a tombstone. For David Ring, this coming of age was and remains a milestone. Although difficult at first to understand, Ring quickly captures his audiences with his quick wit and warm personality. He always focuses on an individual ‘s need to conquer the personal challenges and adversities of life. As one who has not been stifled by his physical limitations, he clearly states his challenge to everyone. “I have Cerebral Palsy ... what’ s your problem?” asks Ring. Ring has authored one book, and speaks to more than 100,000 people annually. Entrance to the event is free.

Arrive early as seats will fill up quickly.

Contact 662-286-2208 for more details.

This is a free event. A love offering will be taken.

The tragic story about Henry C. Robinett

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

If you keep up with my stories, you know I try to keep things not only interesting, but also fun.

I crack jokes now and then and try to keep a light side to the articles, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy. When you write about war, you are always faced with the ever-present death and suffering.

Sometimes there is no way to put a bow on it and make it look nice. The story of Henry Robinett is one of the sad ones.

Battery Robinett. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unusual name for a fort. If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me about the origins of the name Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have, well, a big bag of nickels.

All of the forts of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosecrans Lineâ&#x20AC;? of earthworks were named for Union officers who were in Corinth during the early occupation of Corinth. Is that a confusing sentence? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosecrans Lineâ&#x20AC;? was a series of small forts that were built in the summer and early fall of 1862 to protect the all-important railroad crossing in Corinth.

There were seven forts, all within half a mile of the depot, and the defensive line was named for Major General William S. Rosecrans, the commander of the Corinth garrison.

Battery Robinett was located on a small ridge 750 yards northwest of the depot. The site was selected because it had a wonderful field of vision in every direction and it could guard the Memphis & Charleston Railroad as well as the dirt Memphis Road. The fort was named

for the young officer who was in command of the three cannons and the men who served them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lieutenant Henry Robinett.

Henry Clay Robinett was born in Virginia in 1841, though he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a Virginian. His folks had hailed from Pennsylvania for the previous two centuries and his Southern birth didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite make him a Southerner.

I had the same experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from California, but my daughter Sarah was born in Alabama. When she was a little tyke, a neighbor told me she would never be a true Southerner.

He explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em biscuits.â&#x20AC;? How can you argue with that?

At any rate, Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s folks moved back to Pennsylvania before settling in Delaware -- a border state. When he was 15 years old, he was admitted to the Delaware Military Academy. It was a logical move for young Henry as he had ancestors who were quick to serve in the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Indian wars of the late 1830s and the Mexican War. The Robinetts had a fine military tradition.

The curriculum at the Delaware Military Academy was much like that of the more prestigious West Point. Henry studied Latin, algebra, chemistry, grammar, engineering, drawing and French. And of course, the military arts, which included extensive training with artillery. He rose to the rank

of Cadet sergeant-major by the time he graduated in the summer of 1862.

Many of his classmates had resigned to join the new Confederacy.

Henry could have taken a commission in one of the Delaware regiments that were being recruited, but he took a pass. He wanted a commission in the Regular Army. And so he became a 2nd Lieutenant in the 1st United States Infantry.

His first duty station was Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, though he was soon transferred to St. Joseph, Mo., where he spent his days processing paroled Union prisoners. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long before he was promoted to 1st lieutenant, given command of Company C of the 1st U.S. Infantry and shipped off to the Siege of New Madrid, Mo. It sounds pretty straight forward, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Henry commanded an infantry company, but rather than fight with muskets, his company, as well as five other companies of the regiment, were assigned to the heavy artillery. They were all under the command of Captain George Williams.

What was considered heavy artillery? Most field artillery pieces fired 6 or 12 pound projectiles. The artillery manned by the 1st U.S. Infantry consisted of 20 and 30-pound Parrot rifles, 24-pound siege guns and squat 8-inch siege howitzers that fired 64-pound cannon balls.

After New Madrid fell to the Federals, the 1st U.S. was sent to Corinth.

Henry and his men of Company C were as-

signed to the small fort being built northwest of town. As was the custom, the fort was named for the commanding officer, hence the name Battery Robinett. Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men worked to strengthen the earthwork and they were given three of the big 20-pound Parrot rifles to defend it. Just across the tracks to the south was the even bigger Battery Williams with 30-pound Parrots and one of the 64-pound siege howitzers.

The Battle of Corinth commenced on the 3rd of October, and the men in Battery Robinett were spectators until late in the afternoon. As the fighting sputtered out half a mile north of the fort, Henry fired a few rounds toward the enemy just to let them know there was still some fight left in the Union army.

The Confederates woke everyone early the next morning with an artillery bombardment aimed at Batteries Robinett and Williams. The Union had bigger guns and the Southerners were forced to haul off their cannons.

One of the Confederate guns was left behind and four of Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys ran across the open ground and captured it. I talked about that story in an earlier article, so if you missed it, you will have to come by the interpretive center so I can tell you about it.

At around 10 a.m., the Southerners charged the Union line near Battery Powell. Lt. Robinett ordered his men to open fire on the advancing enemy. The big gun on the

Henry C. Robinett right side of the fort was soon sending fused shells crashing into the Confederate lines.

Soon all three of the guns were turned to the north as another Confederate division came screaming out of the woods toward Battery Robinett. Aside from Henry, there was another officer and 24 enlisted men to defend the little fort. In support were a few thousand infantrymen from Ohio and Missouri.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to go into the gory details of the

fighting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to say the carnage on our little hill here in Corinth was rarely equaled on any battlefield during the war. At the height of the fighting, half of the men of Company C were down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; killed or wounded.

Among the wounded was Henry Robinett.

A bullet struck Henry just above the forehead and plowed a furrow down the length of his head, exposing the bone.

He undoubtedly suffered a concussion and, more Please see HISTORY | 2B

Deer populations growing, create nuisance Deer populations are continuing to expand, and the proof thereof lies within the harvest numbers starting to trickle in from some of our neighboring states.

Tennessee deer harvest numbers are better than they’ve been since the EHD outbreak of 2007.

The harvest total is not yet complete, but as of late, nearly 175,000 deer have been reported taken.

That’s about 6,000 more than the previous season’s total.

Arkansas hunters are having one of their best seasons ever. According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, more than 210,000 deer have been checked in so

far, which easily surpasses the record set during the 19992 0 0 0 David h u n t i n g Green season by roughly Outdoors 16,000.

But one doesn’t have to see the harvest numbers to know the deer herd is expanding. Evidence of this is proven every day by the number of deer sightings within city limits and urban areas where deer are not supposed to be.

There’s no telling how many times I’ve left out to go hunting before daylight and see deer standing in

people’s yards under my headlights. These yards weren’t exactly what I’d call rural either, and it sure was odd seeing deer standing amongst a row of houses as though they were the family’s pets.

Who needs a dog when you’ve got pets like “Mr. Buck and Jane Doe?” No complaints in regard to an expanding deer herd will be heard from hunters, but it can be a nuisance in cities and urban areas when deer populations get out of control, especially during the mating season. According to Lann Wilf, biologist for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries northern region, a much more abun-

only 250,000 to 350,000 deer, or about 15 percent.

The city of Oxford is Mississippi’s pilot city for implementing a deer population control plan.

The town’s mayor and board of Aldermen grant a license to bow hunters who meet a strict set of requirements, including a weapon proficiency test.

Once a hunter is cleared, they are given specific areas within the city they can bow- hunt.

Wilf said the program is helping in reducing the deer population within the city limits. He says hunters take about 60 to 80 each season in Oxford, and the hunting has also instilled fear in the deer that have been living in

the city for generations.

“The deer have walked up into people’s yards and seen people on their porch for years without being shot at,” said Lann.

Oxford is currently the only city with the control program, but Wilf said he expects other cities to sign up as the deer population continues to move into neighborhoods.

To make matters worse, he soon got into a drunken brawl in a saloon and was discharged from the army. General Grant got involved and in no time Henry was reinstated and back on active duty.

The two incidents, however, were the first indications of a bi-polar, Jekyll and Hyde personality that was emerging and taking control of his life. Henry’s wound had not healed and whatever damage

was done by the Southern bullet was continuing to cause him harm.

More incidents followed -- fights and drunken rampages. He once was found in his room with his hands on either side of his head screaming that the pain was so bad he felt his head would burst. His psychological disorder dominated his life and the tragic death of his fiancée, Miss Elsie Starr, pushed him over

the edge.

Henry crossed the threshold into insanity and on the 22nd of April, 1868, he took a pistol and put an end to his pain.

Henry may have fired the final shot, but it was the bullet that hit him in Corinth that truly ended his life.

dant deer population and bucks with breeding on their mind makes driving more dangerous, even in cities.

Wilf said Mississippi’s deer herd is approaching two million, meaning there is one deer for every one-and-a-half persons living in Mississippi.

“Last year we had possibly the largest crop in 50 years,” he said. “Deer did not move last year and our population is through the roof. Hunters generally do not take enough deer each year.”

For the state’s deer population to stabilize hunters would have to take 30 percent of the state’s population each year and Lann said they are taking

lieutenant was involved in the fighting through the end of the siege in July of 1863. He next saw service in New Orleans and then back home for a little recruiting duty. He was afraid the war was passing him by, so he applied for, and received, a coveted position on the staff of Lt. General U.S. Grant. He was promoted to captain and then again to major.

He was at Appomat-

tox at the end of the war, but being a regular army officer, he remained on active duty when many of the volunteers were given their discharge. Henry returned for duty in New Orleans, but ran afoul of his new commanding officer and after some heated words, Robinett was placed under arrest.

Wisdom

Stubborn grandma knits name she wants on babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afghan DEAR ABBY: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m two months pregnant with my second child. Our first child is a boy. My problem is my mother. She loves her grandson dearly, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desperate for a granddaughter.

Recently, the subject of names came up. Although we have already decided on a name if the child is a boy, we had not discussed girls names at length.

When Mother asked me what the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name would be, I said I had always liked â&#x20AC;&#x153;Melody,â&#x20AC;? and that if I had my way, that is what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d name a girl. My mother immediately started knitting an afghan with the name Melody on it.

A week later, my husband said that while he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind the name Melody, he thought we should decide on a name together. I tried to tell Mom that Melody might not be the name we choose. Her response was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, my granddaughter will always be Melody to me.â&#x20AC;?

Mom and I are very close, but she can be extremely stubborn. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

the best way to tell her we have decided on another name? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Abigail WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Van Buren IN A NAME IN Dear Abby CANADA DEAR WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S: Tell her in plain English, and do it before the afghan has to be unraveled and redone.

If she insists on completing the blanket with the wrong name, accept it graciously and quietly donate it to charity.

DEAR ABBY: I was a busy wife, mother and grandmother who had always been active and involved in my church and community.

When my beloved husband died three years ago, everything changed.

I became so consumed by grief, all my regular activities suddenly meant nothing to me.

My children and grandchildren were busy with their own families and

careers. I missed having someone to talk to and began feeling deeply lonely, even in a crowd.

Then something remarkable happened: I learned I have an incurable cancer. I was so scared and worried, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat or sleep. One of my sons took me to a world-famous cancer center.

Everyone I met there was loving and kind, and radiated positive feelings.

Once again, I felt surrounded by love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it changed my outlook.

I was able to return to my hometown for further treatment in a cancer center here, and I return to the larger center for follow-ups.

Now I have the best of two worlds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a worldfamous cancer center a plane ride away, and the ability to sleep in my own bed at night. I also have people in two centers who treat me with love and respect. Community and church members are rallying around me to show their support. I feel

blessed and content, and the best part is I am no longer afraid.

Abby, what do you think about my change in attitude? Am I in denial or experiencing some new stage of grief? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have cancer. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave everyone behind. But I am not afraid to die. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; LOVING EVERY DAY WITHOUT FEAR DEAR LOVING: What you have experienced could be called an epiphany. In your case, it may be the simple, striking and illuminating discovery that once you felt again surrounded by love, respect and security, leaving this world and joining your husband in the next no longer held terror, but gave you peace.

Today In History  Today is Sunday, Jan. 20, the 20th day of 2013. There are 345 days left in the year.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlight: On Jan. 20, 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower took the oath of office as president of the United States; Richard M. Nixon was sworn in as vice president.

 On this date:  In 1265, Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first representative Parliament, which included officials from districts, cities and boroughs, met for the first time.  In 1649, King Charles I of England went on trial, accused of high treason (he was found guilty and executed by monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end).  In 1887, the U.S. Senate approved an agreement to lease Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as a naval base.  In 1936, Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King George V died; he was succeeded by Edward VIII.  In 1942, Nazi officials held the notorious Wannsee conference, during which they arrived at their â&#x20AC;&#x153;final solutionâ&#x20AC;? that called for exterminating Jews.  In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon were sworn in for their second terms of office in a private Sunday ceremony (a public ceremony was held the next day).  In 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th President of the United States.  In 1981, Iran released 52 Americans it had held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.  In 1986, the United States observed the first federal holiday in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.  In 1993, Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd president of the United States. Actress Audrey Hepburn died in Switzerland at age 63.  In 2001, George Walker Bush became Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43rd president after one of the most turbulent elections in U.S. history.  In 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 44th, as well as first African-

American, president.

Ten years ago: Secretary of State Colin Powell, faced with stiff resistance and calls for caution, bluntly told the Security Council that the U.N. â&#x20AC;&#x153;must not shrinkâ&#x20AC;? from its responsibility to disarm Saddam Husseinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iraq. Caricaturist Al Hirschfeld died in New York at age 99.

Pollster Burns W. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;?

Roper died on Cape Cod, Mass., at age 77.

Five years ago: The Los Angeles Times announced its top editor, James Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea, had been fired after he rejected a management order to cut $4 million from the newsroom budget, 14 months after his predecessor was also ousted in a budget dispute. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was sworn in for a second term. The New England Patriots defeated the San Diego Chargers in the AFC championship game, pulling out a 21-12 victory that sent them back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven seasons.

Armstrong interview spotlights Winfrey’s network

BY DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Lance Armstrong is more than an illustration of a hero athlete tumbling from the heights. It’s also a pivotal moment for a famous media figure trying to climb the ladder back up.

Winfrey’s OWN network is showing signs of life after a rocky start, and the Armstrong interview offered a chance for many more viewers to check it out.

The former Tour de France cyclist admitted to cheating with performance enhancing drugs throughout his career during the first half of the interview Thursday night.

The interview “showcases the No. 1 asset this network has over everybody else — and that’s Oprah Winfrey,” said Erik Logan, co-president of the network with Sheri Solata. It also showcased about everything else;

OWN relentlessly advertised its programming on just about every commercial break.

Winfrey, who hosts “Oprah’s Master Class,” “Oprah’s Life Class” and a weekly interview show on OWN, attended a reallife television management class over the past three years. The network launch at the dawn of 2011 came during the last season of Winfrey’s popular syndicated show, and that proved to be a major strategic error.

The daily talk show gave Winfrey’s fans their Oprah jolt, and they had little reason to watch the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Winfrey wasn’t much of a presence there, anyway.

She was concentrating on making sure her syndicated show went out with a flourish.

OWN flailed for direction with little-noticed celebrity reality shows featuring the Judds and Ryan and Tatum O’Neal.

A Rosie O’Donnell talk

show was an expensive flop.

Discovery Communications, which sunk a reported $250 million into OWN, told Winfrey she needed to be more involved with OWN, on and off screen. In July 2011, she became CEO as well as chairwoman of OWN, replacing Christina Norman.

“The initial expectations for this network turned out to be unrealistic,” said Brad Adgate, an analyst for Horizon Media. “Oprah wasn’t on camera. The shows weren’t all that good. The network got raked over the coals. People thought the network would be doing a million viewers (on average) and it’s doing a third of that.”

The Discovery networks save money by sharing services, yet OWN had set up its own fiefdom. That ended. Discovery brought in its executives to take over legal and business affairs, and

OWN laid off one-fifth of its staff last March. To the outside world it looked like a sinking ship, while to Discovery the ship was being righted.

Like all cable networks, OWN has a dual revenue stream with advertising income as well as payments from cable and satellite operators to carry it on their systems. In its early days, OWN was operating on fees negotiated for its predecessor network, Discovery Health.

Now much larger fees negotiated specifically for OWN are kicking in, many of them at the first of this year. Discovery says OWN will turn profitable this year.

A network still needs viewers to sustain itself, and there are some signs of life there, too. OWN’s prime-time audience averaged 310,000 in 2012, up 30 percent from 2011, the Nielsen company said.

Isolate the last three months of each year and

the increase is 61 percent, even more among the target of middle-aged women.

OWN is carving out a small niche where it hadn’t expected.

The Saturday night lineup of “Welcome to Sweety Pie’s,” about former Ike and Tina Turner backup singer Robbie Montgomery’s soul food restaurant that she operates with her family, and “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” an advice show with inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, represent the most successful nonOprah shows. Another new program, “Six Little McGhees, which follows the life of an Ohio couple with sextuplets, is also on the Saturday lineup.

The Armstrong interview aired before the usual Sunday night time slot partly because it was considered newsworthy enough to rush, but also because Winfrey had scheduled and promoted a talk with Drew Barrymore for Sunday.

Considering many viewers still have to search to find the network on their cable system, that’s a particularly strong lineup for OWN. She’s more competitive with the much bigger broadcast networks than could have rightly been considered.

The impact of the Armstrong interview won’t be known for a while, Logan said. Winfrey has called it the biggest interview of her career and it has already drawn more attention to OWN’s content than anything else so far.

Removing the stench of failure in itself would be a big step.

The interview could also help OWN reach the 20 million or so cable and satellite subscribers across the country that currently don’t have it on their systems, Adgate said.

“They’ll be calling their cable operators and saying, ‘How come I’m not getting this?”’ he said.

Women win equal time in Sundance drama competition

BY DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

PARK CITY, Utah — For the first time, the Sundance Film Festival could do a boy-girl, boygirl seating arrangement of directors in its U.S. dramatic competition — and not run out of girls.

The festival has 50-50 parity — eight women, eight men — among the 16 films in the competition, a record that female filmmakers consider to be a hopeful sign they are making progress toward equal time with males.

“It just feels like justice.

Like, OK, this is the way it’s supposed to be. This reflects the population of the earth. There’s no reason why there shouldn’t be as many women making movies as men,” said Lynn Shelton, a Sundance regular whose film “Touchy Feely,” starring Rosemarie DeWitt as a massage therapist suddenly averse to touching people, is playing in the dramatic competition.

“But I’m also waiting for the day when I’m not treated as an oddity as a

woman. I’m just treated as another filmmaker.”

Other dramatic entries directed by women include Liz W. Garcia’s “The Lifeguard,” starring Kristen Bell as a lifeguard who enters a risky relationship with a teen; Stacie Passon’s “Concussion,” a midlife-crisis tale starring Robin Weigert; Francesca Gregorini’s “Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes,” with Jessica Biel and Kaya Scodelario in the story of a troubled teen; and Jerusha Hess’ “Austenland,”

Horoscopes Sunday, January 20, 2013

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Hurrying can be an addiction. But there is a cure. Prioritize people before tasks.

Truly there is little that you need to do that is more important than caring for those around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A lot has happened in your personal life over the last few months, and you still don’t know exactly what to think of it, but you definitely do know how you feel. Respond to those emotions and all else falls into place.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll note the level of discomfort you feel around certain people. Maybe this is a good thing. If you’re very comfortable running with the wolves, there’s a good chance that you’re a wolf, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give some thought to your preferences. If you do as you would prefer, instead of jumping to the social calling of the moment, you’ll go to bed with a contented smile on your face.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be skeptical of aggressive agendas. Trying to change too much too fast causes a loss of control. In a healthy environment, there is a steady and predictable growth pattern.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you are the buffer between those two strong-willed people you know. Other times, you’re the prize they fight for. When they compete for you, run!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Trust yourself. Sure, you haven’t always done what you wanted to do. But

there are more chances. If you can start, you can start over. If you can finish one project, you can finish another.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even the most solid things you know can drift from time to time. Continental plates have a way of colliding. Consider putting your faith in something that is not so solid -- something you can’t see at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Your mouth is an inventor. You’ll cause a thrill with what you say. You always tell a good story. Just be sure people know, sooner rather than later, that you’re having fun with fiction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To save the best for last is an amateur move at this point. The one who saves the best for last is often too full of mediocrity to really enjoy a sublime experience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll use silence effectively. You’ll use it to calm down, or to make a point. You’ll use it to convey your love, anger, reverence, annoyance or tenderness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even though you often serve those you love, loving someone and serving them is not the same thing. You’d do well to pull back. There’s a point in which you’re better off letting them serve themselves.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 20).

You’ll love how your life entwines with another. You and a partner will be so connected in February, you’ll experience telepathy. The professional worries you’ve had are solved with training and extra focus in March.

Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 14, 3 and 7.

Cryptoquip

featuring Keri Russell as a woman searching for her own Jane Austenstyle perfect man.

Sarah Polley has been coming to Sundance with short films and features since 2000 and has seen a steady rise in the presence of women.

“I feel like there’s been a seismic shift since I had my first short film at Sundance when I was 20 and now going back today at 34,” said Polley, who returns this time with “Stories We Tell,” a documentary examining

the secret life of her late mother — and just who Polley’s real father is. “My first time at Sundance, I spent the whole time just trying to find other female filmmakers. Now you see there’s been huge progress.”

This year’s lineup is not an all-out celebration, though, as women continue to worry about career longevity and whether they can extend their gains in low-budget independent films to bigmoney Hollywood productions — work that goes

predominantly to men.

Equal time at Sundance today does not necessarily mean those women will have a smoother time finding backers for future films, said Cathy Schulman, president of Women in Film, which promotes work by female filmmakers.

“One would hope that those women would go on to get agents and representation and be put up for jobs to lead to their next movie,” Schulman said. “My guess is it won’t be that simple.”
