The Corinth Professionals’ next “Lunch and Learn” event will provide an opportunity for networking and a chance to learn what everyone should know about preparing for emergencies at home or work. Scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 21, at Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Corinth campus, the event will feature an emergency preparedness session with NEMCC Workforce Trainer Shelia Archer. “I think it’s very important for people to attend this session to learn about an important topic — especially as we’re going into the extreme weather season,” said Andrea Rose, community development director for the Alliance. According to the National Weather Service, the season for severe weather in Northeast Mississippi begins around Valentine’s Day and continues through mid-August. The Corinth Professionals formed as the Corinth Young Professionals in May of 2011. Members recently decided to change the name in order to to be more inclusive and make sure all area professionals feel welcome. The group’s purpose is to provide local professionals a chance to network and build their business base — as well as socialize and have a good time. The group meets monthly, usually on a Thursday eve-

District 2 Rep. Nick Bain said he will not support a bill that would require all school boards in Mississippi to be elected by the voters. “I’m not going to support it,” said Bain. “We’ve got a good system both in Alcorn County and Corinth, and I don’t see the need to change something that’s working.” In the Senate, the Senate Education Committee passed SB 2141 on Tuesday, a bill that mandates all board members to run for four-year terms beginning at the 2016 presidential election. The races would be nonpartisan. The Senate bill will soon go to the House Education Committee, where it may see changes before going to the House floor. A similar bill recently worked its way through the House Education Committee. The bill, which passed by a slim margin, would not require the Corinth school board to hold elections. Bain said he does not believe a bill will become law that makes every school board in the state be elected. On Thursday the Corinth Board of Aldermen formally stated its opposition to the possibility of all school boards in Mississippi being elected. Ward 1 Alderman Andrew Labas said the Corinth system has worked well for 50 years and there is no need to penalize a municipality for something that is working well.

... Liquor makes return to Corinth BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

For the first time since the liquor-beer swap of 1989, liquor was legally sold again in Corinth for the first time on Friday. Corinth Wine & Spirits at 3113 Shiloh Road is the first of the city’s 15 liquor license applicants to begin sales. The store opened late Friday after hustling to get everything in place. After turning away customers all day long, sales were brisk when the doors finally opened. By Saturday morning a sign hung on the door announcing it would reopen by 2 p.m. to allow time for restocking after the massive crowds they saw Friday evening. “We are excited to be the first store to open,” said Kathryn Lee, owner with husband Allan.

Corinth Wine & Spirits became the first liquor store in Corinth to open for business. From a business standpoint, she said they were hopeful to be first out of the gate. Lee said she is hearing much enthusiasm for the return of liquor, including a lot of feedback from people in neighboring areas of Tennessee. She

Ole Miss’ first black student to speak in Corinth BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

James Meredith, the first black Ole Miss student, has added Corinth to his upcoming visit to northeast Mississippi. Meredith will speak at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church at 1000 Scott St. at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21. He is also scheduled to visit the Corinth Library for a book signing at 3 p.m. the same day. His memoir, “A Mission from God,” was published last year. St. Mark Pastor Kim Ratliff said the entire community is invited to attend. Meredith recently contacted the pastor and requested an opportunity to speak in Corinth. “He stated to me how driven he still feels to speak not only about racial reconciliation but also progress, education and issues that are important not only to the whole community but also young African-Americans who need to focus on education and improvement.”

“He doesn’t wear race on his sleeve — that’s the impression I get from him.” Kim Ratliff Pastor, St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church

The program will include music by the St. Mark choir and a welcome from the community. Ratliff is looking forward to the message from the historic figure. “He doesn’t wear race on his sleeve — that’s the impression I get from him,” he said. The following day, Meredith will be at Tishomingo County High School for a history and unity program to speak about his ideas for improving Mississippi’s education system. It begins at 10 a.m. Feb. 22

in the school gymnasium. Last year, the 79-year-old Kosciusko native traveled throughout the state on a “Walk for Education & Truth” to encourage black students to get prepared for college. “A lot of things have changed in Mississippi, but in many ways they’ve made things much worse,” Meredith told the Daily Corinthian last year. “I graduated high school 61 years ago. Then, every black high school graduate could go to some good college in America. Today, less than one out of 10 goes to college because they don’t make high enough on the entrance exam.” He became part of a defining civil rights moment when he enrolled at the University of Mississippi in 1962.

Man charged with making fake $20 bills BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

A Prentiss County resident has been arrested after being accused of passing counterfeit money in Booneville. Kenny Joe Lindley, 18, of 67-B County Road 2121, Booneville, was arrested Feb. 2, on a one count of possession of counterfeit bank notes

and four counts of uttering a counterfeit bank note, said Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey. “It appears Lindley passed counterfeit money to three different businesses in town over the weekend,” he said. The police chief said Lindley admitted making the $20 bills.

A juvenile was also charged with one count possession of counterfeit bank notes and four counts uttering a counterfeit bank note. He was released to the custody of his parents and will have a hearing in youth court. Bond for Lindley was

In addition to keeping the tax dollars at home, he believes the return of liquor and wine sales will be good for consumers by cutting the gasoline expense of driving out of town to make purchases and by paying less sales tax than they would at Tennessee or Alabama liquor stores. The last couple of weeks have brought just one additional license

applicant — Shiloh Ridge Hospitality, LLC, for an on-premises retailer permit at the Chop House — for a total of 15 applicants in the city, including eight package stores, six dining establishments and one fraternal organization. The sale of alcoholic beverages by permitted retailers became legal Feb. 1 as the result of voter approval in December’s special election stemming from the new state law affecting cities of a certain size located in dry counties. Package stores may open for business Monday through Saturday.

On Feb. 10, 1763, Britain, Spain and France signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years’ War (also known as the French and Indian War in North America).

On this date: In 1840, Britain’s Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of SaxeCoburg and Gotha. In 1841, Upper Canada and Lower Canada were proclaimed united under an Act of Union passed by the British Parliament. In 1863, showman P.T. Barnum staged the wedding of General Tom Thumb and Mercy Lavinia Warren — both little people — in New York City. In 1933, the first singing telegram was introduced by the Postal Telegram Co. in New York. In 1942, the former French liner Normandie capsized in New York Harbor a day after it caught fire while being refitted for the U.S. Navy. RCA Victor presented Glenn Miller and his Orchestra with a “gold record” for their recording of “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” which had sold more than 1 million copies. In 1949, Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” opened at Broadway’s Morosco Theater with Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman. In 1962, the Soviet Union exchanged captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Rudolf Abel, a Soviet spy held by the United States. Republican George W. Romney announced his ultimately successful candidacy for governor of Michigan. In 1967, the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, dealing with presidential disability and succession, was ratified as Minnesota and Nevada adopted it. In 1968, U.S. figure skater Peggy Fleming won America’s only gold medal of the Winter Olympic Games in Grenoble, France. In 1981, eight people were killed when a fire set by a busboy broke out at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine invites youths with interests in animals and veterinary medicine to apply for a summer camp. MSU Veterinary Camp will provide a hands-on experience to youths aged 13 to 15. Campers will participate in interactive labs and learn about veterinary medicine from CVM instructors. Students considering a career in veterinary medicine, scientific research or an animal-related field are encouraged to apply. “The sessions will introduce campers to everything from anatomy and microbiology to radiology and physical exams,” said Tori Hall, camp founder and CVM student. “They’ll learn about a wide variety of career options from small- to large- animal, public health to pathology and research topet-

health veterinarians. Most importantly, those involved are going to have a great time.” Current CVM students will serve as camp counselors, and participants will get a firsthand look at life as a veterinary student. Interested youths can apply to attend one of two camp sessions: an overnight camp June 6-8 or a day camp June 13-15. The registration fee is $500 for the overnight session and $200 for the day camp. Both fees include accommodations, meals (lunch only for the day camp session), a scrub top and all lab activities. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Space is very limited, and qualified applicants are encouraged to review the application instructions and information at http://www. msuvetcamp.com. All applications must be postmarked by March 1.

Thursday deadlines loom for bills in state legislature BY CLAYTON STANLEY Columnist

With the committee deadline behind them, legislators spent this past week taking up the bills on the floor of the House and the Senate. Members have until Thursday to debate legislation on the floor of each chamber. Like the committee deadline last Tuesday, bills that do not get voted on in the originating chamber by Thursday will die. This week several pieces of legislation appeared that had locals paying attention. Senate Bill 2141 is an education bill that would require that all school board members be elected. This bill was introduced to complement SB2199, which would require that all school superintendents be appointed by the school board. Electing the school board is intended to be a compromise to those districts that would lose the right to elect the superintendent. The unintended consequences of this legislation would have a significant impact on the Corinth School District and others that already have an appointed superintendent. In the Corinth School District, school board members are appointed by the city's aldermen to fill five-year staggered terms. Under the current method voters do have a say in the process through the elected aldermen, and this system insulates the school board position from becoming a politically charged popularity contest. The current method also provides continuity through staggered terms. The proposed Senate language would change this requiring that all board members be up for election at the same time to serve four year terms, greatly politicizing the position. Changing the superintendent position from elected to appointed would be a great improvement to the Mississippi education system. Nationwide only 146 school superintendents are elected, 65 of which are in Mississippi. However the local impact of 2141 is believed by many to be a step backward for the Corinth district that has functioned quite well since its inception. Another bill with some interest locally is HB523. This language would allow the voters of any municipality the option to hold an election to increase local sales tax to fund specified infrastructure projects. This is an option that is being considered as city officials in Corinth and around the state struggle with how to maintain and improve an aging infrastructure system. After the unsuccessful Future Fare election last year, Mayor Tommy Irwin and the board have pursued this as a possible alternative for the city. The fact that this bill made it out of committee was a surprise to most, and its future before the full House appears to be dim. Regardless of the outcome this year, this issue appears to be one that is not going away. Passing legislation is often a slow process requiring several years of education and familiarization before a bill is ultimately passed. The introduction of the bill this year could be the start, should city leaders from around the state decide to stick with it.

Federal government shouldn’t define ‘church’ Under pressure from religious and conservative groups, the Obama administration has offered another compromise on the issue of birth control coverage within the Affordable Care Act. While exempting churches and some religiously affiliated institutions, such as hospitals and universities, from supplying the coverage, the new proposal calls for their employees to receive stand-alone private insurance policies providing birth control coverage at no cost. Insurance companies will foot the bill, but only the naive can possibly think the cost won’t find its way back to the institution in the form of higher health premiums. Numerous lawsuits filed against this and other portions of “Obamacare” will proceed and for good reason: the federal government seems intent on setting rules on matters of conscience and worse, defining what constitutes a church, or religious institution. One of the litigants is Hobby Lobby, a chain of craft stores, whose CEO, David Green, is an evangelical Christian. Green says, “We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate.” That mandate includes, in addition to contraceptive

Amendment, which state “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” and appears to put the state in the position of supreme authority and arbiter of what constitutes “legitimate” religious faith and practice. The Supreme Court will likely have to resolve its constitutionality. Permit me to offer the justices some assistance. The early church was not a building with a towering steeple. The early church met in homes. If one accepts New Testament teaching (and what higher authority on the church could there be?), the concept of the church being an organism that resides in each individual believer is clearly spelled out in several passages. Paul the Apostle writes in his letter to the Colossians (1:24) about the “body” of Jesus Christ, “which is the church.” By this, he means the “body of believers” in whom Christ dwells. Wherever that body is, whether an individual, or a group of believers, that’s the church. It was only later that this concept of church was turned into something with expensive buildings, tax exemptions and denominations. The same theme can be

found in Revelation where John is asked by Jesus to write letters to several churches. Those, too, were bodies of believers, not physical structures. In the Old Testament, God told Solomon that while He was too big to live in buildings, He would “dwell” in the Temple Solomon built for Him. Ultimately, though, He said He had other intentions: “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:33) That was and remains for believers the authentic church, so when people say, “I am going to church,” it is an impossibility because they can’t go to themselves. The administration’s efforts to effectively gerrymander lines between what it considers legitimate religious practice and the secular is what the Founders hoped to avoid when they linked the establishment clause with the free exercise clause. That is why, among other reasons, government should not mandate birth control coverage as part of any national health care plan. (Readers may e-mail Daily Corinthian columnist Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.)

Administration’s ‘white paper’: Cheney’s revenge

Prayer for today Lord God, help each of us to find our way of serving you so we can make music that de-

coverage in employees’ health care, “preventive services,” including “morning-afCal ter” pills and Thomas other drugs, which Green Columnist c o n s i d e r s abortifacients. After Hobby Lobby’s appeal to Justice Sonia Sotomayor was rejected, the Christian Post reports the company then made plans to “...shift the beginning of its employee health plan to temporarily avoid $1.3 million a day in fines for each day since Jan. 1 that it did not comply with the Affordable Care Act.” (According to the new health care law, businesses with more than 50 employees that refuse to comply can be fined by the IRS $100 per day per employee.) Hobby Lobby’s appeals continue. The core issue as I see it — and there are others — is whether the government has the right to define a church as a building in which people congregate on Sundays and whether a private company headed by a religious person qualifies for conscience exemptions. For government to decide such things violates the establishment and free exercise clauses of the First

Will the author of the Obama administration white paper on killing U.S. citizens please report for his war-crimes trial right away? If he served in the George W. Bush administration, someone would already be agitating for his extraordinary rendition to The Hague. The white paper outlines why the Obama administration believes that it can kill U.S. citizens involved in al-Qaida without due process. This is not a merely theoretical question, as Anwar al-Awlaki found out from the business end of a Hellfire missile a couple of years ago in Yemen. The left is still furious that the Bush administration waterboarded three captured terrorists after Sept. 11, 2001. Yet, with a few exceptions, it has blithely accepted the Obama administration’s extrajudicial assassination policy that has killed about 1,000 times as many people. During the Bush years, a small army of former Democratic officials, law professors, op-ed writers and bloggers blasted the Bush administration as dangerous and un-American for assert-

ing the executive branch’s war powers, aka “trampling the Constitution.” Barack Rich Obama was Lowery going to be different. We National Review had this on the highest possible authority: Barack Obama. As a senator in 2007, he set out his contrasting vision: “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers, and that justice is not arbitrary.” In a speech as president in 2009, he said we must fight al-Qaida. “But,” he added, pointedly, “we must do so with an abiding confidence in the rule of law and due process; in checks and balances and accountability.” The white paper outlines how that looks like in practice. If an “informed, highlevel official” of the Obama administration determines that a U.S. citizen is one of the “senior operational leaders” of al-Qaida and “recently” involved in “activities” related to a violent

attack against the United States, well then, he can be terminated with extreme prejudice. Note that the high-level official has to be “informed.” This must be what Obama meant when he insisted his policies would respect “due process” and “checks and balances.” They rarely say what their alternative would be. Does a U.S. citizen get an exemption from targeting if he becomes a high-level al-Qaida operative? Should his status be litigated before he can be targeted, and if so, by whom, for how long and on the basis of what evidence? Can he show up in court to confront his accusers, a basic element of the AngloAmerican system? It is self-evidently absurd. Civil libertarians lament that the argument of the white paper parallels the reasoning of the Bush administration. No kidding. It’s not for nothing that the author sounds like he could have worked for Dick Cheney. The Obama administration’s approach reflects the logic of the laws of war, the structure of American government and the exi-

gencies of the fight against al-Qaida. It is well-established by the courts that an American citizen who is an enemy combatant can be treated as an enemy combatant. It is also well-established by the courts that it is not the role of the judiciary to interfere in the executive branch’s conduct of a war. When an American citizen joins a shadowy band at war with America and operating in areas beyond the reach of law enforcement, he is a legitimate target. This is not to say that the white paper is beyond reproach, or that it should have been kept secret for so long, but the basic point would seem obvious. Democratic partisans might be confused. They considered Bush a threat to America’s liberty because of his defense of his war powers, yet their hero now stands on similar ground. How to resolve the contradiction? Easy. Conclude that they were wrong the first time. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. He can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Northeast digs out after snowstorm BOSTON — A howling storm across the Northeast left the New York-toBoston corridor shrouded in 1 to 3 feet of snow Saturday, stranding motorists on highways overnight and piling up drifts so high that some homeowners couldn’t get their doors open. More than 650,000 homes and businesses were left without electricity. At least three deaths in the U.S. were blamed on the wind-whipped snowstorm, including that of a New York man killed when the tractor he was using to plow his driveway ran off the edge of the road. More than 38 inches of snow fell in Milford, Conn., and an 82 mph gust was recorded in nearby Westport. Areas of southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire got at least 2 feet of snow, with more falling. Portland, Maine, received 29.3 inches, breaking the record set in 1979. Roads in many places were impassable. Across much of New England, snowed-over cars looked like white blobs. Streets were mostly deserted save for snowplow crews and a few hardy souls walking dogs or venturing out to take pictures. In Boston’s Financial District, the only sound was an army of snowblowers clearing sidewalks. The digging-out went more smoothly in some places than in others. A little more than 11 inches fell in New York, but the city “dodged a bullet” and was “in great shape,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, predicting streets would be cleared by the end of the day. The New York region’s three major airports — LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark, N.J. — were up and running again by late morning after shutting down the evening before.

But hundreds of motorists abandoned their vehicles on New York’s Long Island, which got 2½ feet of snow, and even snowplows were getting stuck. Emergency workers used snowmobiles to try to reach stranded motorists, some of whom spent the night in their cars. Richard Ebbrecht, a chiropractor, left his office in Brooklyn at 3 p.m. on Friday and head for his home in Middle Island, N.Y., but got stuck six or seven times on the Long Island Expressway and other roads. “There was a bunch of us Long Islanders. We were all helping each other, shoveling, pushing,” he said. He finally gave up and settled in for the night in his car just two miles from his destination. At 8 a.m., when it was light out, he walked home. “I could run my car and keep the heat on and listen to the radio a little bit,” he said. “It was very icy under my car. That’s why my car is still there.” Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut closed roads to all but essential traffic. The Interstate 95 corridor from the New York metropolitan area to Boston, with a population of roughly 25 million, appeared to take the brunt of the storm. One of hardest-hit places was Connecticut, where even emergency responders found themselves stuck on highways all night. In Fairfield, police and firefighters could not come in to work, so the overnight shift stayed on.

Lawmakers test legal waters for drones WASHINGTON — Lawmakers are considering whether Congress should set up a special court to decide when drones can kill American al-Qaida suspects overseas, much as a secret court now grants permission for surveillance. The effort, after CIA Director-designate John

State Briefs

Brennan’s vigorous defense of a drone attack that killed U.S. citizens, reflects a philosophical struggle in government over remote warfare. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein of California, spelled it out at the start of Brennan’s confirmation hearing on Thursday. She declared that she intended to review proposals for “legislation to ensure that drone strikes are carried out in a manner consistent with our values and the proposal to create an analogue of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the conduct of such strikes.” And Sen. Angus King Jr., in a letter Friday to senior leaders of the panel, suggested an “independent process - similar to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court - to provide an appropriate check on the executive branch’s procedure for determining whether using lethal force in a foreign country against a U.S. citizen would be lawful.” In FISA proceedings, 11 federal judges review wiretap applications that enable the FBI and other agencies to gather evidence to build cases. Suspects have no lawyers present, as they would in other U.S. courts, and the proceedings are secret. The government presents its case to a judge, who issues a warrant or not. The notion of something similar for drone strikes drew immediate criticism from human rights and legal groups, which contend that such a court must allow the accused to mount a defense. “It’s not about evidence gathering, it’s about punishment to the point of execution,” said Mary Ellen O’Connell, professor of international law at the University of Notre Dame and a critic of the government’s drone program. “We have never thought people could be executed without some kind of trial.”

Gholar, an alleged gang member nicknamed “Head,” was charged with buying two of the guns — an M16 assault rifle and a shotgun — for $120 and an ounce of marijuana. He was sentenced on Jan. 23 to nearly four years. Eatmon awaits sentencing, though court records did not give a date. Eatmon was charged on state charges with kidnapping, raping and shooting a woman while on bond in the guns case.

Trial delay sought in school threat case OXFORD — A lawyer wants to delay the trial of a man accused of making online threats to attack Oxford High School. Joshua Brandon Pillault is scheduled for trial on Feb. 25 in U. S. District Court in Oxford. He has pleaded not guilty. Pillault is accused of making the threats while playing the online game “Runescape.” His lawyer wants more time to prepare. Court documents say he made references to an attack on Oxford High School, where he is a former student. The indictment says he mentioned acquiring guns, ammunition magazines, Molotov cocktails, and pipe bombs and using them to level the school. Pillault underwent a psychiatric evaluation and the report was submitted to the court, but it was sealed.

Retired court of appeals Judge Myers dies JACKSON — Retired Judge William Myers, who served on the Mississippi Court of Appeals and was the Gulf Coast chancery judge who oversaw Mississippi’s landmark lawsuit against the tobacco industry, has died. Myers, of Ocean Springs, died Thursday. He was 71. The Court of Appeals announced his death in a news release Friday. Myers was remembered by former colleagues as a kind man. “I am honored to have served with Judge Myers during his entire tenure on the court,” Mississippi Court of Appeals Chief Judge L. Joseph Lee said. “He was always pleasant, kindhearted and genuinely cared for all, and was well loved by everyone on the court.” In June 2000, thenGov. Ronnie Musgrove appointed Myers to the Court of Appeals; he was later elected to the post twice, retiring on Dec. 31, 2011. “Judge Myers performed his duties with dignity, timeliness and scholarship. His pleasant demeanor and sense of humor will be missed by all,” said Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr.

Sentencing date set in stolen FBI guns case HATTIESBURG — A man convicted on a charge of theft of government property related to several guns and other equipment stolen from an FBI agent’s car will be sentenced March 19. Court records say that Christopher Ryan Burkett will be sentenced in U.S. District Court in Hattiesburg. Burkett was charged in the case with Cameron Undrae Eatmon and Glenn Eddie Gholar. Prosecutors say Eatmon broke into the car in Hattiesburg on June 6, took a submachine gun, assault rifle, shotgun and other equipment. He allegedly gave the guns to Burkett. Authorities say Burkett spread the weapons out on his bed, took a cellphone

CLINTON — Clinton Public School District officials say an Eastside Elementary school student took a gun onto campus Friday, but no one was injured. District spokeswoman Sandi Beason says the gun was discovered Friday afternoon when the student showed it to another child, who then reported it to the school. The school has classes for fourth and fifthgraders. She did not know whether the gun was loaded. Local police are investigating. Certified police officers work on the school campuses in Clinton, a suburb of Jackson. State law says any student with a gun, knife or other weapon on campus can be expelled. The student also has the right to appeal the expulsion.

In addition to his judicial duties, Myers was active in his community. He was at one time the president of the Mississippi Gulf Coast YMCA, a member of the American Legion and the Masons, and was named Outstanding Citizen of Ocean Springs in 1981. He was a graduate of Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi School of Law. He also served in the U.S. Army from 1964 to 1966, where he earned the Army Commendation Medal. Bradford O’Keefe Funeral Home says services are set for noon Monday at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Ocean Springs, with burial in Biloxi National Cemetery. Myers was in private law practice 23 years before becoming a chancery court judge on the Gulf Coast in July 1992, a job he held until moving to the Court of Appeals.

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin presents Amelia Parkes, community educator at S.A.F.E., Inc. with a proclamation stating that Corinth recognizes February as Dating Violence Awareness month.

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security will partner with Donate Life Tennessee to designate February as Show Us Your Heart! month. Over the course of the month, select driver service centers will distribute chocolate hearts to customers who check “Yes” to join the state’s organ and tissue donor registry. “We are pleased to join Donate Life Tennessee in the Show Us Your Heart! campaign,” Michael Hogan, director of driver services, said. “As thousands of Tennesseans wait for a lifesaving transplant, we hope people will take notice and take action to sign up to be an organ, eye and tissue donor.” Currently only 35 percent of Tennessee’s licensed drivers have said “Yes” to organ and tissue donation, and documented their decision on the Tennessee Donor Registry. Donate Life America and each state is striving for a national average of 50 percent of licensed drivers to be listed on state organ and tissue registries. “Our ongoing partnership with the Department of Safety and Homeland Security is a key in saving more lives through transplantation,” Lisa Clark, the department’s liaison with

Mary Sue Heyer

Donate Life Tennessee said. “The driver license process is the easiest and best opportunity for residents to legally document their decision to be a donor on the Tennessee Donor Registry.” Over 117,000 people are currently on the national waiting list for a lifesaving transplant. Of that figure, more than 2,500 live in Tennessee. In an effort to educate the public and call attention to the great need for donors, Donate Life Tennessee representatives and volunteers will be located in various driver license service centers throughout the state during February providing information to customers. Tennesseans can register to be an organ donor by simply Checking Yes when applying for or renewing their driver’s license or state identification card. A red heart is placed on the driver license and ID, signifying them as an organ donor. For more information on organ and tissue donation visit www.DonateLifeTn.org or call toll free 1-877-552-5050. The Donate Life Registry assures that all personal information is kept confidential and stored in a secure database, accessible only to authorized OPO personnel. For more information, please contact Lisa Clark at 865-250-1950 or lclark@dcids.org.

Mary Sue Morrison Heyer died February 9, 2013 at Magnolia Regional Health Center. She was born May 3, 1927 to the late Neal and Maxine Morrison. Mary Sue’s journey in nursing began following graduation from Corinth High School, when she joined the United States Cadet Corp Nursing School. She attended Birmingham Baptist Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1948, and was honored with the Doctor’s award, the highest award given to a graduating nurse. Wanting to continue her education, she applied and was accepted to Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, Mo., associated with Washington University, to attend anesthesia school. After completing the anesthesia program in 1952, she returned to Corinth and became the first and only certified registered nurse anesthetist at Community Hospital. In 1954, she left nursing Heyer to marry the late Richard Heyer and raise her family. At the age of 52 she returned to nursing, working for twenty five years before retiring. She was a member of First United Methodist Church. Preceded in death by her husband, Richard Heyer; and her parents.

of sealants, referral for treatment and dental education not only make a child healthier, they can prevent more expensive health care costs later in life.” “We know early intervention and dental health education have two important dividends: helping more people keep their natural teeth and avoiding more costly restorative dental care,” said TDH Com-

missioner John Dreyzehner, MD. “A small investment of time in daily dental health care can make significant differences for children. As many dentists will tell you, you only need to brush and floss the teeth you want to keep.” In Tennessee, 33.7 percent of adults aged 65 and older have had all their teeth extracted, compared to 17 percent nationwide. While there

are many contributing factors to that statistic, among the most significant are poor early oral health habits and the lack of dental health services and information early in life. In addition to the School Based Dental Prevention Program, TDH has 55 dental clinics located in 54 counties. These clinics provide comprehensive care for children and

emergency dental services for adults. Because some patients are not reached early enough, many teeth are not able to be saved. In 2012, more than 3,900 extractions were performed in TDH clinics. The TDH Oral Health Services program estimates every dollar spent on preventing early childhood cavities saves between $300 and $3,000. Find contact information for TDH

Departments honored by Keep America Beautiful WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Mississippi and Tennessee departments of transportations were two of five Keep America Beautiful/U.S. State Department of Transportation Partner Award recipients at the National Awards ceremony, which took place during Keep America Beautiful’s recent 60th anniversary National Conference in Washington, D.C. The Keep America Beautiful/U.S. State Department of Transportation Partner Awards recognizes state DOTs for their support of KAB affiliates through joint partnership projects. These awards were created to recognize the high value KAB places on public-private partnerships. “To reduce roadside litter and illegal dumping, KAB state affiliates must develop effective public-private partnerships,” said Keep America Beautiful President & CEO Matt McKenna. “Our State Department of Transportation Partner Awards represents the fine work that state DOTs achieve with their respective KAB state affiliate partners.”

As an extension of its sponsorship with the National FFA Foundation, Tractor Supply Company has recently announced a new scholarship program to assist FFA members in their pursuit of a college degree. The Growing Scholars program will be supported nationally by each of the more than 1,150 Tractor Supply stores, including the Corinth location on Highway 72, Feb. 1524, which includes National FFA Week. Tractor Supply customers can donate $1 at store registers during the checkout process to support local FFA chapters and their members. Ninety percent of funds raised through Tractor Supplyâ€™s Growing Scholars program will be utilized to fund scholarships for FFA members. The remaining 10 percent of donations will benefit state FFA organizations. â€œThis program will provide critical funding to FFA members who intend to pursue a college degree and local FFA chapters that enrich the lives of

young members by teaching life skills, citizenship and leadership qualities,â€? said Tractor Supply President and CEO Greg Sandfort. â€œFor us, this is an outstanding way to support our current and future customers and future team members and a way to give back to the 1,100-plus unique communities we serve.â€? To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be current FFA members and either high school seniors or a freshman, sophomore or junior college student seeking a two- or four-year degree or other specialized training program. Major areas of study will also be considered when determining scholarship recipients. â€œWe are extremely grateful to Tractor Supply and its customers for supporting FFA, student and alumni members and agriculture education in general,â€? said National FFA Foundation Executive Director Robert K. Cooper. In addition to the Growing Scholars program,

Tractor Supply and the National FFA Foundation have many other joint initiatives, including the FFA horse evaluation career development event, National FFA Week and the annual National Association of Agricultural Educators Conference. At an individual store level, Tractor Supply continually hosts fund-raising events and works closely with local FFA chapters and high school agriculture advisors to provide resources and leverage synergies. â€œLocal high school agricultural advisors and FFA chapters feel at home in their local Tractor Supply stores,â€? said John Wendler, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply. â€œThese groups often host fund-raising events at our stores to raise money for community projects, like building a

Cell service holding up after blizzard Associated Press

NEW YORK â€” Cellphone companies say their networks are largely up and running after a blizzard dumped up to 3 feet of snow on New England. Not all cell towers have backup power, so natural disasters can take out cell service through power outages. Last fallâ€™s Superstorm Sandy

had a major impact on cell service in flooded areas of the Northeast. This weekâ€™s snowstorm had much less effect. AT&T Inc. says the â€œvast majorityâ€? of its cell towers in the hardest-hit states are operating fine, and work is under way to restore service in some areas.

school greenhouse, a new bridge in a public park or an animal care lab. Our stores also work with local FFA members to support specific programs and proficiencies by providing demonstrations from knowledgeable Tractor Supply employees and our vendor partners, which brings significant value to both organizations.â€? Tractor Supply has been a sponsor of the National FFA Foundation for 27 years. The National FFA Foundation is the fundraising arm of the National FFA Organization, which provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 557,318 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,498 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
