County begins alert system BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County has activated the CodeRED alert system to inform the community of severe weather and to make other important announcements. With available phone numbers, CodeRED has already been used once on the morning of Feb. 2 to alert residents of icy road conditions that developed with a late-breaking freezing rain event. The Alcorn County Emergency Services Agency and E911 are preparing to make a call to the entire commu-

nity on Wednesday, Feb. 20, to announce and promote the CodeRED system. It will direct call recipients to the Alcorn County website (alcorncounty.org), where individuals can click on the CodeRED link to customize the types of warnings they are interested in receiving or opt out of the system entirely. Individuals can also visit the link to add a phone number to the database. After the call on Feb. 2, “We had a few people call and wanted to opt out, and we had Please see ALERT | 3A

MSU mobile unit remains life saver for animal shelter BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Dr. Phil Bushby is in the business of taking shelter animals off death row. The veterinarian and 35-year faculty member along with veterinary students from Mississippi State University were on the job at the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter on Monday.

NEMCC names Robbins new student dean/ athletic director For the Daily Corinthian

BOONEVILLE — After nearly a decade serving as Northeast Mississippi Community College’s head men’s basketball coach, David Robbins’ role is changing. Northeast President Dr. Johnny L. Allen, Ed.D., announced recently that Robbins would become the college’s new dean of students/athletic director, a position vacated when Ricky Ford was named executive vice president to replace Dr. Larry Nabors, current president at Mississippi Delta Community College. Robbins’ said he would coach the remainder of the season, Please see ROBBINS | 6A

mobile unit, performed 23 surgeries on animals of the shelter. About the same number of animals were put through the procedure Tuesday. “Being able to have animals spayed or neutered before they leave the shelter ensures happier and healthier animals,� said shelter director Charlotte Doehner. “It also increases their chances of being adopted.� Doehner said the shelter had

2,800 animals come through last year. “The key to getting the population under control is spaying and neutering,� she said. “It is critical for shelters to have animals spayed or neutered prior to adoption,� added Bushby. That can be costly when dealing with close to 3,000 animals. Please see VET | 3A

The Corinth School District is taking a look at how an increasing student population will affect facility needs in the coming years. Growth has been the trend in recent years, including an enrollment increase of about 8 percent in the current school year, and the district expects to continue adding students. District-wide enrollment is currently about 2,500, including those in pre-kindergarten. “Potentially, if we had between 2 and 3 percent growth over a period of time, we could grow to the neighborhood of 3,100 children by the ’16-’17 school year,� Superintendent Lee Childress told the board of trustees. With continued growth each

year, the middle school will be facing the need for additional classrooms in four to six years, he said. Plans to sell all three of the vacated elementary school properties could change, based on these numbers. The district expects to close the deal with Easom Outreach Foundation for the transfer of the South Corinth campus for use as a community center within 30 days, and the East Corinth and West Corinth campuses are going to be advertised for bids. However, the district may consider holding on to one of those for possible use again in the future. “If we were going to keep a school that we possibly might want to look at in terms of Please see GROWTH | 6A

Kiwanis Club honors Master Gardener BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Kiwanis honored Herman Gray on Tuesday for the Master Gardener’s contribution to the community through his work with local kids at the Lighthouse Foundation. “Every so often an outstanding individual comes into kids’ lives at the the Lighthouse,� said Gary Caveness, of the Lighthouse Foundation. “Two years ago, Herman came and intervened and got involved in these kids’ lives.� The Kiwanis recognized Gray and presented him with a plaque for his involvement in the Lighthouse Foundation’s Corinthian Garden. The Corinthian Garden began as a vacant inner-city lot, but thanks to Gray, other volunteers and the kids at the Lighthouse Foundation, it soon became a thriving garden, producing corn, squash,

The kids work in the garden and learn lessons about long-

term goals and reaping what one sows. At harvest time, the kids get to take the fresh produce home to their families. “I have enjoyed doing this,� said Gray. “It’s been a worthwhile experience. And these boys — I’ve really enjoyed working with them.� The Lighthouse Foundation is a non-profit organization that works with urban youths through after-school tutoring programs, summer camps and leadership programs. The garden project involves approximately 15 boys in third through sixth grade who work alongside volunteers. Kiwanis member Danny Turner praised Gray’s work with the kids in the garden. “He volunteered to teach these kids how to grow a garden,� said Turner. “It’s a great thing.

Today in history Today is Ash Wednesday, Feb. 13, the 44th day of 2013. There are 321 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 13, 1943, during World War II, the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve was officially established.

On this date: In 1542, the fifth wife of England’s King Henry VIII, Catherine Howard, was executed for adultery. In 1741, Andrew Bradford of Pennsylvania published the first American magazine. “The American Magazine, or A Monthly View of the Political State of the British Colonies” lasted three issues. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was officially declared winner of the 1860 presidential election as electors cast their ballots. In 1920, the League of Nations recognized the perpetual neutrality of Switzerland. In 1933, the Warsaw Convention, governing airlines’ liability for international carriage of persons, luggage and goods, went into effect. In 1935, a jury in Flemington, N.J. found Bruno Richard Hauptmann guilty of first-degree murder in the kidnap-slaying of the son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. (Hauptmann was later executed.) In 1945, during World War II, Allied planes began bombing the German city of Dresden. The Soviets captured Budapest, Hungary, from the Germans. In 1960, France exploded its first atomic bomb in the Sahara Desert. In 1972, the 11th Winter Olympics ended in Sapporo, Japan. In 1980, the 13th Winter Olympics opened in Lake Placid, N.Y. In 1988, the 15th winter Olympics opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, allied warplanes destroyed an underground shelter in Baghdad that had been identified as a military command center; Iraqi officials said 500 civilians were killed.

some that wanted to know why they didn’t get the call,” said Ricky Gibens, emergency services coordinator. Other than severe weather, the notification system could be used to announce road closings, Amber alerts, boil water advisories or evacuation notices. “We also suggest that all individuals and businesses take the time to visit our website and add contact information to include cellular phones and other nontraditional phones, as well as e-mail and text addresses,” said Gibens. “If your contact information is not in the database, you will not receive a call.” People who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their number recently, who use a cell phone exclusively or who use VoIP service may need to add their numbers to the database. The required information

includes a street address and a primary phone number. People can tailor the alerts to their method of choice, whether by phone, text or one of the other available options. A smart phone application is also available. A CodeRED Emergency message will have a caller ID of 866419-5000. A CodeRED General message will have a caller ID of 855969-4636. The service suggests programming both numbers into a cell phone as a “new contact” and use “CodeRED Emergency” and “CodeRED General” as the contact names. The website link is expected to go live on Friday and will be a secure link, Gibens said. People who do not have Internet access may call 286-7703 or 286-7737 to add or delete phone numbers from the database. For questions about CodeRED, contact Gibens at 286-7737 or 415-3851.

to know what that’s like without what he’s done.” According to other Kiwanis members, Gray has been a member of the organization longer than anyone else locally.

Speaking of the garden project, the longtime gardener still gets excited about what can be accomplished with a piece of land and a great deal of work. “It’s amazing what a little piece of ground can produce,” Gray said.

“Every shelter goes through struggles financially,” said Bushby. “We make it easier for them (shelters) by coming in and doing the surgeries for free.” Since starting the mobile unit in 2007, around 33,000 spay and neuter procedures have been completed. Funded by grants and donations, the two mobile units hit the road four days a week year round. Procedures are provided to 18 shelters in North Mississippi at no charge. “We go out 50 weeks

Each visit generally consists of three vet students, a technician and faculty member. The students become more aware of the overpopulation plight and the challenges shelters face through their work on the mobile unit. “It gets the students up to speed … they can do surgeries without batting an eye and it solves the problem of overpopulation,” said Bushby.

Corinth, Miss.

Hundreds of bills die during session BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. JACKSON — Hundreds of bills don’t survive a session of the Mississippi Legislature. Some are filed by multiple lawmakers when only one bill is needed. Some Senate bills are duplicates of House bills and vice versa. Some are silly. Some need more study. Some make no sense. Others originated in coffee shop discussions as something the Legislature should do — but really shouldn’t. The 2013 legislative session is no different. But folks will tell you that until a session is over, nothing dead until it is “dead dead dead.” As Sen. Terry Burton, R-Newton said: “There’s dead, dead-dead and really dead.” This past week was the deadline for committees to consider bills that would change general laws. Another deadline is Feb. 14 for the full House and Senate to consider bills that started in their own chamber. Then, they swap bills with a March 5 deadline for Senate committees to act House bills and vice versa. Some perennial issues died again last week. No radar for sheriff’s departments, no ban on texting by motorists and no harsher penalties for cockfighting. Sen. Briggs Hopson III, R-Vicksburg, took his Judiciary A Committee through a series of bills. As the meeting drew to a close, Hopson acknowledged he wasn’t going to take up a number of adoption bills filed in the committee. Hopson talked about the complicated issues associated with adoptions and his committee didn’t have the time to look as closely at them as he would have liked. “I would urge you to do some more work during the break,” Hopson said. Among the adoption bills was one that would have levied a $500,000 fine for any organization that illegally placed a child for adoption and another addressed adoption of children from overseas. One adoption bill is alive in the House. It would provide for restoration of parental rights of a natural parent. Switching to the other side of the Capitol, House Municipalities Committee chairman Ed Blackmon Jr., D-Canton, agonized over bringing up a particular bill. So much was his agony that he skipped all over his committee’s printed agenda to avoid it. Short title was: “Municipal judge; require to be an attorney.” “What’s wrong with it?” asked one committee member. “It’s lawyer’s bill. It’s a lawyer’s bill,” said Blackmon, who is a lawyer himself. State law says “in all municipalities where a municipal judge is not appointed, the mayor, or mayor pro tempore, shall be the municipal judge.” It says nothing about them being lawyers. Non-lawyers in the Legislature — some of them anti-lawyer — will tell you they love to see lawyers fight over something that affects their livelihood. Debate can hang up the Legislature for hours. Blackmon didn’t want to do that. There were other bills that didn’t get out of House and Senate committees. Mississippi loves naming things — see flower, toy, fish, reptile and others in the Blue Book. But, a bill to name the black bear the state mammal didn’t survive. Lawmakers still don’t want to be bothered with changing the state song. Bills died in both houses. The Senate Wildlife Committee let die a bill that would require a hunter who places a tree stand on public lands or lands not his own to attach to the stand a weather-resistant tag containing his name and address. Legislation to allow hunting of over bait during any open season on deer failed to get out of committees. Wildlife bills are like lawyer’s bills. Debate can last for hours. One dead bill that may have legs: A proposal from Rep. Tom Miles, D-Forest, to require the state wildlife agency to install wireless Internet access at all state parks. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jack Elliott is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Prayer for today O Lord, who hast mercy upon all, take away from us our sins, and mercifully kindle in us the fire of thy Holy Spirit. Amen.

A verse to share Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” — John 14:6 (ESV)

Worth Quoting We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us. — Winston Churchill

A Godly man in an ungodly age “To govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.” With those brave, wise, simple words, Benedict XVI announced an end of his papacy. How stands the Church he has led for eight years? While he could not match the charisma of his predecessor, John Paul II, his has been a successful papacy. He restored some of the ancient beauty and majesty to the liturgy. He brought back to the fold separated Anglican brethren. The Church is making converts in subSaharan Africa. And in America, new traditionalist colleges and seminaries have begun to flourish. That is looking back eight years. Looking back half a century, to that October day in 1962 when Pope John XXIII declared the opening of Vatican II, the Church appears to have been in a decline that, in parts of the world, seems to be leading to near extinction. At Vatican II, the Rev. Joseph Ratzinger, the future Benedict XVI, was among the reformers who were going to bring the church into the modern world. The encounter did not turn out well.

In 1965, three in four American Catholics attended Sunday mass. Today, it is Pat closer to one Buchanan in four. The number of Columnist priests has fallen by a third, of nuns by two-thirds. Orders like the Christian Brothers have virtually vanished. The Jesuits are down to a fraction of their strength in the 1950s. Parochial schools teaching 4.5 million children in the early 1960s were teaching a third of that number at the end of the century. Catholic high schools lost half their enrollment. Churches have been put up for sale to pay diocesan debts. And the predator-priest sex-abuse scandal, with the offenses dating back decades, continues to suppurate and stain her reputation. The highest-ranking Catholic politicians, Vice President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, support samesex marriage and belong to a party whose platform calls for funding abortions to the day of birth. Catholic teaching on contraception, divorce and sexual morality is openly mocked. Among Catholics, there has long been a dispute over the issue: Did Vatican II cause the crisis in the Church, or did the council

merely fail to arrest what was an inevitable decline with the triumph of the counterculture of the 1960s? It seems that Catholicism and Christianity have been in a centuries-long retreat. In the mid-19th century, Matthew Arnold wrote in “Dover Beach”: The Sea of Faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar ... In Christianity’s cradle, the Holy Land and the Near East, from Egypt to Afghanistan, Christians are subjected to persecution and pogroms, as their numbers dwindle. In Latin America, the Church has been losing congregants for decades. In Europe, Christianity is regarded less as the founding faith of the West and the wellspring of Western culture and civilization, than as an antique; a religion that European Man once embraced before the coming of the Enlightenment. Many cathedrals on the continent have taken on the aspect of Greek and Roman temples — places to visit and marvel at what once was, and no longer is. The Faith is Europe, Europe is the Faith, wrote Hilaire Belloc. And when the faith dies, the culture dies, the civilization dies, and the people die. So historians and poets alike have written.

Surely that seems true in Europe. In the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, Western Man, under the banners of God and country, conquered almost the entire world. But now that Christianity has died in much of the West, the culture seems decadent, the civilization in decline. And the people have begun to die. No Western nation has had a birth rate in three decades that will enable its native-born to survive. Dispensing with Christianity, Western peoples sought new gods and new faiths: communism, Leninism, fascism, Nazism. Those gods all failed. Now we have converted to even newer faiths to create paradise in this, the only world we shall ever know. Democratic capitalism, consumerism, globalism, environmentalism, egalitarianism. The Secular City seems to have triumphed over the City of God. But in the Islamic world, an ancient and transcendental faith is undergoing a great awakening after centuries of slumber and seems anxious to reengage and settle accounts with an agnostic West. As ever, the outcome of the struggle for the world is in doubt. (Daily Corinthian columnist Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

Lost as a goose on GPS PASS CHRISTIAN — Four different groups have ventured to our new holiday home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. One found it. I’ve carefully typed out the same detailed instructions for all travelers, giving the benefit of my considerable experience finding the shortest route. All four carloads ignored my directions and relied on some kind of global positioning gadget in their computers, telephones or cars. The last visitors to not arrive on time were my best friends from Louisiana. They love high-tech gizmos. And though I mailed directions and a photograph of my house, they left all that behind after asking a granddaughter to enter my address into something they call the Garmin. About an hour after they were due — who knows where they’d already been? — John called from his cellphone. “Where are you?” he asked, testily. “I’m home,” I answered.

“Where are you?” “The Garmin says we’ve arrived at our destination, but Rheta you’re not Johnson here. And this isn’t your Columnist house, but it is the right destination,” John insisted. “Are you on my street?” I asked, looking outside, seeing nothing. “Yes. At 1141. But you’re not here.” “No, I’m not. Because that’s not my house. Do you have my house number? “No,” he said, almost angrily. “Julie put it in the Garmin.” “It’s 1425, not 1141. Keep heading east. I’ll stand by the mailbox and wave.” Meanwhile, the stranger at 1141 came outside and stared suspiciously at the people parked in her drive. That scared John’s wife, who is timid, and she backed out too fast and hit a live oak,

bending her bumper. “Why didn’t you use the directions I mailed you?” I asked when they arrived. “Oh, no,” they both insisted. “The Garmin gets you there every time.” It’s not that I’m against all technology. I approve of icemakers. But ours is the only generation that believes with the advent of something new you must throw out everything that came before. Because we now have computers, you must quit using your eyes and ears and brains. When the automobile was invented, they didn’t shoot all the horses. When the airplane came along, nobody junked every car. When man stepped on the moon, we didn’t all abandon earth. Somehow this is all connected with last week’s announcement that the U.S. Postal Service will no longer make Saturday deliveries. That’s because so many use emails exclusively and have stopped writing real letters. More alarming, 70 percent

of the American public doesn’t care whether the post office delivers on Saturday or not. I find that incredible. Not everyone has a computer or gets email. Not yet. Those poor out-of-step folks cannot get their mail online, their news online or even find botched directions online. Things I love are expanding the scrapheap. Newspapers, real letters, camera film, landline telephones, maps that fold, books that open. Directions that get you there. Some days it feels as if I’ve been personally targeted. If something works, that’s one thing. But if you’re sitting in a stranger’s driveway thinking you’ve arrived, perhaps you should reconsider.

Obama pledges swift reaction to nuke test WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama reacted sharply to North Korea’s nuclear test Tuesday, promising swift international action to bring the rogue communist regime in line. The detonation came hours before the president’s State of the Union address, where he was expected to touch on U.S. plans to reduce its nuclear arsenal. In a statement, Obama called Pyongyang’s third nuclear test in seven years a “highly provocative act� that threatens U.S. security and international peace. The reaction from the White House was significantly stronger than it was after North Korea’s long-range missile test in December, when the administration only promised “appropriate action� alongside America’s allies. “The danger posed by North Korea’s threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community,� Obama said in a statement early Tuesday. “The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies.� Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by telephone with the foreign ministers of South Korea and Japan after the test, as well as China, and Obama called South Korean President Lee Myung-bak to assure him the U.S. would help defend his country. North Korea said it successfully detonated a miniaturized nuclear device at a northeastern test site Tuesday. South Korean, U.S. and Japanese seismic monitoring agencies said they detected an earthquake in North Korea with a magnitude between 4.9 and 5.2. North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said the test was conducted safely but with “great explosive power.� The test counters the “ferocious� U.S. hostility that undermines the North’s peaceful, sovereign right to launch satellites, it argued. Last month, North Korea’s National Defense Commission said the United States was its prime target for a nuclear test and long-range rocket launches. “These provocations do not make North Korea more secure,� Obama said. “Far from achieving its stated goal of becoming a strong and prosperous nation, North Korea has instead increasingly isolated and impoverished its people through

its ill-advised pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.â€? The Obama administration’s options for a response are limited — even though it is committed to protecting America’s key Asian allies, South Korea and Japan. The U.S. already maintains severe unilateral sanctions against North Korea, and commerce between the two countries is nearly nonexistent. Tougher global sanctions are dependent on the participation of China, Pyongyang’s primary trading partner, but Beijing has resisted measures that would cut off North Korea’s economy completely. At the U.N., the Security Council opened an emergency meeting Tuesday and condemned North Korea’s action. But any new, binding international sanctions will now have to be worked out. Â

Senators clash at gun hearing WASHINGTON — The plague of gun violence makes it plain that current firearms restrictions are insufficient and new federal limits are needed, a top Democrat said Tuesday at a Senate hearing on gun control. Parrying that, a Republican said gun rights must be protected, even amid horrors like the mass shooting of school children in Connecticut. “There are too many families who now face an empty seat at the dinner table� because of gun violence, said Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee. He said that while opponents of stricter gun limits claim that existing laws simply need to be better enforced, “that’s not enough. There are so many gaps in those laws.� Durbin said restrictions such as requiring background checks for all gun purchases could be written that would still protect the Constitution’s Second Amendment right to bear arms. Currently, such checks are required only for

sales by licensed federal dealers. At one point in the packed hearing, Durbin asked that people with relatives or friends who were victims of gun violence to stand, and several dozen rose from their seats. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, top Republican on the panel, expressed sympathy for those directly affected by gun violence. But he added that constitutional rights must be protected “not just when they’re popular, but especially when passions are seeking to restrict and limit those rights.� Cruz said he believed that “stripping the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens does nothing to stop criminals� from committing violent acts. There has been a renewed focus on guns on Capitol Hill in the wake of the December slayings of 20 first-graders and six adult staffers at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Some family members of those shot there were in the hearing room Tuesday, according to Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. President Barack Obama wants Congress to enact new curbs, including bans on assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines and a requirement that all gun buyers be subject to background checks, not just sales by federally licensed dealers. Obama is expected to push anew for his plans in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. Democrats have been more receptive to Obama’s proposals than Republicans, most of whom — along with the National Rifle Association — have opposed them. The universal background check has the broadest support and is expected to be a centerpiece of legislation that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy hopes to write in the next few weeks. The assault weapons ban is given little chance of enactment, and passage of a ban on large-capacity magazines also seems doubtful.

State Briefs Associated Press

Child support bills advance in House JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are advancing a second bill to let the state hire private companies to collect overdue child support. House Bill 1009 passed the House 5957 Tuesday. A similar measure, Senate Bill 2734, passed the Senate 3516 last week. The two chambers would have to agree on a single bill before anything could go to the governor. The bills would allow the Department of Human Services to hire a private vendor, or vendors, to collect overdue child support payments in some parts of the state. Supporters say privatization could improve efficiency. Opponents say Mississippi’s experience with privatizing child support collections from 1995 to 2000 was disastrous. Both sides say DHS has too few attorneys working in child support collections, and the ones it has are overworked. Â

Beason says none of the students were injured and the bus driver sustained minor injuries. She says all students have been transported to school. Clinton police are investigating the accident. Â

ROBBINS CONTINUED FROM 1A

then take on his new job. Robbins came to Northeast in the spring of 2005 after successfully leading the Corinth High School basketball program and also serving as the high school’s athletic director. When Robbins accepted the position of men’s basketball coach at Northeast in the spring of 2005, he enthusiastically accepted the challenge of returning the traditionrich program to a place of prominence in the state and nation. With an emphasis on doing things the right way on and off the floor, the Tigers (15-9) recorded their first winning season since the 1999-2000 season. After making semifinal runs in the State and

Region 23 tournament, Robbins led the 2008-09 Tiger basketball team to a 12-13 record, and the 2009-10 team to a 12-11, 7-5 record. Entering the 2012-13 season, Robbins stood just five wins away from career win No. 400 and has a career record of 395235 on the high school and collegiate level. Before returning to his alma mater, Robbins spent 14 seasons as head boy’s basketball coach at Corinth High School. During that time, Robbins led the Warriors to a 310-147 overall record, including four 30-win seasons, eight 20-win seasons, nine Alcorn County championships (seven straight from ‘99’05), three North Half titles and three state championship trophies. Robbins’ teams ap-

peared in five State Tournaments and eight North Half Tournaments en route to a 44-15 record in post season play, a .745 winning percentage. In only his second season at CHS, Robbins guided the Warriors to the State Championship and a 36-5 overall mark, a school record for wins in a season. He became the winningest coach in Warrior history with win number 267 in 2003 and picked up win number 300 with a 50-46 victory over Ripley on Jan. 11, 2005 Initially, Robbins also served as a physical education instructor, but left the classroom to become athletic director in 2002. As athletic director, Robbins supervised every aspect of the athletic programs at Corinth high and junior high schools.

A Tippah County native, Blue Mountain High School graduate and former basketball player and team captain at Northeast Mississippi Junior College, Robbins worked at Northeast, assisting both former men’s basketball coach Harvey Childers and women’s basketball coach Ricky Ford (198789). Robbins earned an Associate in Arts Degree from Northeast in 1985, a Bachelor of Science degree from Millsaps College in 1987 and a master’s degree from Mississippi College in 1989. Robbins played two seasons for the Millsaps Majors and was selected the 1987 team captain. David and his wife Pam have three children, Brandon, Mary Beth, and Brody.

GROWTH CONTINUED FROM 1A

space if this happens, it would probably be the old East campus,” said Childress. “It’s probably more conducive to upper age children than West Corinth would be.” The projections for 2013-2014, based on normal patterns and not taking into account extra growth, would take the district to a little more than 2,600, including pre-K. First grade is projected to number about 273. “Our grade one class size has crept up a little, so I think we’re going to

have to have some conversations over the next couple of months as to what we want to do to look particularly at class size,” the superintendent said. “We think we will have in the neighborhood of 1,230 students at the elementary school next year, which will be up in the neighborhood of 45 to 50 children.” The middle school is expected to hold steady at about 745 with a large sixth-grade class of about 209 and a slightly smaller seventh-grade class. CHS should gain about 50, going to 631, with a larger senior class and a

slight increase in ninth grade. Childress also presented five-year projections that include annual growth of 2.5 to 3 percent. “We’re going to end up going from these classes that we’re accustomed to of 160 to 200 and occasionally over 200 to classes that are 225 to 250 if we continue 3 percent growth,” he said. “Should some type of major economic development issue take place in this area, you could even see greater growth.” By 2016-2017, elementary enrollment would

top 1,400; the middle school would be at about 880; and the high school would climb to almost 800. Space would also become problematic at the high school. “Every classroom would have to be used for instructional purposes and you very well might even have some people sharing some classrooms at that point,” said Childress. The current growth trajectory will put the district near 5A classification for high school athletics within two or three years.

NASA said in a news release Tuesday that engineers will conduct a series of tests on the sec-

ond J-2X development engine, designated number 10002, on the A-2 Test Stand at Stennis. Once the series is completed, the engine will undergo a series of gimbal, or pivot, tests for the first time. “This test series will help us increase our knowledge of the J-2X and its performance capabilities,” said Gary Benton, manager of the J-2X test project at Stennis. The J-2X will provide

upper-stage power for NASA’s Space Launch System, a new heavy-lift vehicle capable of missions beyond low-Earth orbit. The engine is being designed and built by NASA and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne of Canoga Park, Calif., to power the upper stage of the 143-ton version of the SLS rocket. Data from what is known as hot-fire engine tests will be compared to the performance of the first engine.

Obama presses for jobs without raising deficit BY JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama declared the nation is unquestionably stronger Tuesday night in his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, though he conceded America's economic revival is an “unfinished task.” He challenged a deeply divided Congress to compromise in the country's interest on ways to boost job creation and strengthen the middle class. In specific proposals for his second term, he called for increased federal spending to fix the nation's roads and bridges, the first increase in the minimum wage in six years and expansion of early education to every American 4-year-old. The president also pledged to cut the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan in half within a year. In a speech centered squarely on jump-starting the economy, Obama sought support from Republicans by asserting

that his proposals would not increase the deficit “by a single dime.” But with unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, he pressed a case for a significant government role in reigniting economic growth. “The American people don't expect government to solve every problem; they don't expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue,” he said. “But they do expect us to put the nation's interests before party. They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can.” “It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country — the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love,” Obama said, speaking to a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a rising Republican star, sought to draw a contrast with Obama in

excerpts of his GOP response, saying economic opportunity “isn't bestowed on us from Washington.” “It comes from a vibrant free economy where people can risk their own money to open a business. And when they succeed, they hire more people, who in turn invest or spend the money they make, helping others start a business and create jobs,” Rubio said in the excerpts, released before Obama spoke. The president's address marked the most specific outline of his secondterm agenda since winning re-election, and included proposals for increased spending on manufacturing, infrastructure and education. His focus on jobs and growth underscored the degree to which he is still hampered by the economy, even as he pursues a bolder agenda including overhauling the nation's immigration laws, enacting stricter gun-control measures and tackling climate change. Obama's proposals,

many of which are repackaged versions of initiatives that stalled in his first term, face an uncertain future on Capitol Hill, where Republicans retain control of the House. The GOP is most ardently opposed to Obama's calls for legislating more tax revenue to reduce the deficit and offset broad automatic spending cuts — known as the sequester — that are to take effect March 1. The president was uncompromising in call for bringing down the deficit through a combination of tax increases and targeted spending cuts, though he has offered few specifics on either. He did reiterate his willingness to tackle entitlement changes, particularly on Medicare, though he has ruled out increasing the eligibility age for the popular benefit program for seniors. Pivoting briefly to foreign policy, Obama announced a scaling back of the U.S. military footprint abroad, with 34,000 American troops withdrawing from Afghanistan within a year. He also sharply rebuked

North Korea for its latest nuclear launch, warning that the impoverished nation's nuclear program has only further isolated it from the international community. North Korea said Tuesday that it successfully detonated a nuclear device in defiance of U.N. warnings. Despite the challenges abroad, Obama said it is economic growth that serves as his “North Star.” He challenged a Congress often stalled by partisan bickering to focus on three key principles: attracting more jobs to the U.S., equipping Americans with the skills to compete for the positions and making sure hard work leads to a decent living. “It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth — a rising, thriving middle class,” Obama said. Seeking to increase wages for 15 million Americans, Obama called for raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 by 2015. The minimum wage has been stagnant

since 2007, and administration officials said the increase would strengthen purchasing power. The president also wants Congress to approve automatic increases in the wage to keep pace with inflation. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney backed a similar proposal during last year's campaign. Obama also renewed his calls for infrastructure spending, investments he sought repeatedly during his first term with little support from Republicans. He pressed lawmakers to approve a $50 billion “fix it first” program that would address the most urgent infrastructure needs. Education also figures in Obama's plans to boost American competitiveness in the global economy. Under his proposal, the federal government would help states provide pre-school for all 4-yearolds. Officials did not provide a cost for the preschool programs but said the government would provide financial incentives to help states.

Senate endorses appointment People search for nostalgic of school superintendents items after Sunday’s twister BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — State senators want to end the election of local school superintendents, raise the requirements for becoming a teacher and limit the state’s ability to take over schools in Mississippi. The state Senate passed bills to do all three Tuesday. Each bill goes to the House for more debate. Meanwhile, the House passed a bill that would require the state Department of Education to refigure the state’s public school funding formula annually. Such a move could, at least for a time, cut the amount of money per student called for by the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. That bill moves on to the Senate. Senate Bill 2199 calls for all local superintendents to be appointed by school boards, unless

voters opt out. Now, 62 superintendents in county districts are elected. Heads of the remaining 89 city and county districts are appointed. The Senate passed the bill 456. Republicans control both chambers. Superintendents could still be elected in any district where voters choose to continue. A referendum would be called if 20 percent of registered voters — or 1,500 voters, whichever is less — sign a petition. Such elections could only be held in November 2013 or November 2014. If an election is not held, the superintendent would automatically become appointed. Senate Education Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said the measure would allow small districts to look beyond their own borders for leaders, and allow school boards to remove inef-

fective superintendents without waiting until the next election. “It will improve school governance,” Tollison said. House Bill 1530 would require the state Department of Education to recalculate each year the base student cost that drives MAEP. When the formula was originally enacted in 1997, annual recalculation was required. Several years ago, lawmakers changed recalculation to once every four years. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, said an annual update will give budget writers a more accurate idea of schools’ expenses. Right now, it would reduce the gap between what the state is actually spending and the higher amount called for in the formula.

JACKSON — Brian Bernard has spent hours since Sunday’s tornado sifting through the wreckage of his family’s house in search of his daughter’s flute. It’s not worth a lot of money, but it’s important to her and that makes it invaluable to him. Like dozens of families across Mississippi, the 51-year-old Bernard devoted hours Tuesday to rummaging through broken boards and other debris. They try to salvage whatever is left from destroyed homes, though family pictures and other items with sentimental value often mean the most. “Some people might think I’m crazy, but you know how kids are,” Bernard said of his 13-year-old daughter, Brooklee, who plays in

And crews throughout the area are still working to clear roads and repair power lines. More rain and a slight risk for damaging winds and tornadoes late Tuesday afternoon threatened to complicate those efforts and deliver even more misery.

Post-holiday bump? Americans shopped the winter clearance racks in January, resulting in strong sales during the month for retailers. The International Council of Shopping Centersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest data on 20 major retailers show revenue at stores open at least a year rose 5.1 percent last month. The Commerce Department reports retail sales for January today. Economists anticipate that sales, excluding autos, increased slightly.

Investors are flirting with stocks once again. And if the flirtation turns into a long-term commitment, it could mean big gains for asset management companies. Money surged into stock mutual funds last month: $38 billion during the four weeks through Jan. 30, according to the Investment Company Institute. When the final numbers come out, some experts say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be the biggest monthly investment in stock funds in nine years. Investors have dabbled in stocks at the beginning of the last few years, only to run away as the months pass. Although financial analysts say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to definitively declare this time is different, several factors make a sustained move into stocks more plausible. One is the size of the investment in January, which dwarfs prior years. A second is the improvement in the housing and job markets, which are starting to give some investors more confidence. If investors plunge back into stocks, the increase in assets for money managers would translate into more fee income.

Open marriage takes sharing too far DEAR ABBY: My daughters are attractive young women, both doing well in their professional careers. “Melanie,” who is 27, is married to “Sam,” an extremely attractive and successful man. My 30-year-old daughter, “Alicia,” has been divorced for a year. Her marriage failed two years ago because she and her husband had an appetite for sex outside their marriage. While I was disturbed about that, I was horrified to learn that Melanie allows her sister to occasionally have sex with Sam. Melanie’s argument is that Sam is less likely to cheat given this situation. When I asked her and Sam about it, he said it wasn’t his idea. My current husband says any man who would refuse this “set-up” would be nuts. Alicia claims she “doesn’t have time” to date right now, and after she finishes her MBA, she’ll seek out a more normal relationship. I am distraught about this mess. Melanie says she wants to start a family soon. She says she loves Sam, who can “handle everything,” and she enjoys seeing “everyone happy.” She says Alicia won’t sleep around now and, maybe, one day she’ll marry a handsome man like Sam who

will “return the favor!” I can’t believe these girls are my daughters. Should I continue to Abigail protest or Van Buren let it go? Is this relaxed Dear Abby attitude about sex prevalent in young people today? I cannot understand Melanie’s lack of desire to defend her turf. — HEARTBROKEN MOM IN FLORIDA DEAR MOM: Your daughters appear to be into the concept of open marriage. Clearly, they do not view marriage and relationships the same way you do. Melanie is naive to think that encouraging Sam to have a sexual relationship with her sister will discourage him from seeking other partners. Far from it. And as for her wanting to start a family, has she considered what will happen if her husband impregnates Alicia at the same time — or first? But back to your question: Are you right to protest? You certainly are. That’s what mothers are for — to inject a dose of sanity when everyone

around her is losing theirs. DEAR ABBY: The other day at work, my girlfriend overheard a group of people in the break room talking about what they’d do first if they won the lottery. Without exception, everyone in that room said the first thing they would do is get a divorce. My girlfriend was stunned. Have you ever done an informal reader survey on this subject? Is the state of marriage in America really that bad? I’m also curious if answers would differ along gender lines. Let me know what you think, and thanks. — HAPPILY SINGLE BUT STILL A BELIEVER IN MARRIAGE DEAR HAPPILY SINGLE: No, I have not done a reader survey on this subject. But I’m glad you asked, because I think what your girlfriend heard is a sad commentary on the state of the marriages of her co-workers. Readers, if you’d care to chime in on this, I’m sure it would be enlightening. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have doubts about whether you can accomplish what’s being asked of you, but try to believe in yourself anyway. Your training will kick in just when you need it the most. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You love a challenge, and the one you face today will be lifealtering. You’ll be forced to show a different side of you, and this new personality is surprisingly effective at getting people to move. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can’t change another person, but you can inspire a person to change, and that’s precisely what you’ll do. You’ll be an example of the change you want to see in someone else. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You strive to be accepting. It’s not easy when you’re around people who don’t give you any obvious incentive for kindness, but those are precisely

the people who most need an open heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No matter how long you have known a person, you can always learn something new about him or her. Today you’ll ask the questions that invite surprising answers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Social skills are like any other skill set in that if you don’t put them to good use, they will atrophy. The mixing and mingling you do now will keep you strong for upcoming events. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whenever you start, you feel like you should have begun sooner, but this is just one of time’s ways of playing tricks on you. Don’t buy it! Rest assured, your timing is perfect. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone near you may be in a crabby mood, and there’s nothing you can say to make it better. The most supportive move of all is to give this person space.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Your genuine interest in a subject makes learning about it very easy. This is also true of an intriguing person. With your curiosity in the lead, you always know what to say next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Human nature being what it is, very few people know how to make a cool exit. It takes a fair amount of selfcontrol to quit while you’re ahead and leave them wanting more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The chemical reactions between you and the people in your environment may be particularly strong now. You can’t help who you like or don’t like, but you can still choose how to act on the feeling. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Facing your challenges dead-on makes you powerful. And you’re relatively fearless today, too, so stare your problem in the eyeballs until it blinks or flinches.

Hall of Fame night highlights racing’s bonds

T

he induction ceremony for the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the latest of which was held last Friday night in Charlotte, N.C., is a formal affair, but not so stiff that it becomes uncomfortable to the inductees and guests in attendance. In many ways, it has the feel of a reunion, a time for old-timers and a younger generation to gather and share stories from a bygone era. The four Hall of Fame induction ceremonies held to date have provided opportunities for people who were once fierce competitors on the track to put aside any old animosities or rivalries and come together as members of the community that is NASCAR. “The really cool thing about the Hall of Fame is … every time they have one of these it fixes so many things,” said Eddie Wood, who stood on stage last Friday night and inducted his uncle Leonard Wood. “It fixes relationships, and it gives people a chance to say things that they normally wouldn’t say, wouldn’t be brave enough to say. I know I said things I wouldn’t be brave enough to say.” He pointed out how David Pearson, who drove for the Wood Brothers team, and Richard Petty, his chief rival in the 1960s and ’70s, both used their Hall inductions to praise each other. “Pearson and Petty got to say … ‘You were the best, no, you were the best,’ those kind of things,” Wood said. “And I think that’s what really makes the Hall of Fame special.” For example, Leonard Wood, the longtime chief mechanic and crew chief for the Wood Brothers No. 21 Fords and Mercuries, talked about his main rival back in the day, Dale Inman, who was crew chief for his cousin Richard Petty. Wood said Inman was “a great team leader, organizer and called the races. He was one of the best there was in calling races. He kept up with everything that was going on … He was just a great, intelligent person to call races,

He was great at that.” And Wood also made it clear that the Woods and Pettys were more than just competitors on the race track and in the garage. “Even though we were really rivals … at the end of the day they’re the best friends we’ve got,” he said. It also was noted during the induction of the late Cotton Owens just how close he was to his one-time driver David Pearson and to a rival car owner, Walter “Bud” Moore. Owens’ grandson Kyle Owens, representing the Owens family, spoke of his grandparents’ relationship with Pearson and Moore. “I can’t tell you how much these guys meant to them throughout the years, and especially when their health took a turn for the worse because those guys came by and saw them weekly,” Owens said. “It meant so much to Pop.” Herb Thomas’ son Joel Thomas relayed a

side of his late father that showed he was much more than a two-time champion whose winning percentage of .211 has never been bettered. “Before he started racing, dad successfully operated his own sawmill,” Thomas said. “Almost 50 years later, he was excited to teach me how to run it. When dad finally retired from racing in 1962, he returned to the farm where he worked with his family for many years. “Those were wonderful times. I often rode with him to the market when it was time to sell. When his crops brought top dollar at auction, I could see his satisfaction and contentment.” Buddy Baker, a great racer in his own right and an accomplished broadcaster, talked afterward about how nervous he was going on stage to induct his hero and father, the late two-time NASCAR champion Buck Baker. “When I started racing he was my hero, and when he passed away he was still my hero,” Baker said. “That’s pressure. It’s so much pressure because you want to do it right and make sure that everybody knows to me he was the champion on the race track, he was the champion in life.” Rusty Wallace, the youngest of the inductees and someone who is rarely fazed, was obviously emotional as he walked on stage. And for someone who was known for his brashness for most of his career, he seemed quite humbled. “I look out in this crowd and I see some of the biggest stars in history. I look at Robert Yates, one of the best engine builders in the world, Ricky Rudd, Jack Roush, Michael Waltrip, big winner at Daytona, Darrell [Waltrip], everybody,” he said. “I am humbled that I’ve made it here. I’m humbled that I’m standing up here, and I can’t thank everybody enough for selecting me to be in the Hall of Fame.”

NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program gained some traction last week with the announcements that two of its former participants will be racing full-time this season in the higher levels of NASCAR. Kyle Larson, who is of Japanese descent, is set to run the full Nationwide Series in a car prepared by Turner Motorsports with veteran crew chief Trent Owens leading the team. Larson is under contract to Sprint Cup car owner Chip Ganassi, who helped put the Nationwide deal together. And Darrell Wallace Jr., one of only a few black drivers in the sport, will race the full season in the Camping World Truck Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports while also running some Nationwide Series races for Joe Gibbs Racing. Both drivers appear to be getting career breaks not only because they’re fast on the race track and part of the diversity program, but because they’re handling themselves well on and off the track, as Ganassi pointed out on a NASCAR teleconference last week. “You look to his parents, what kind of people they are, what kind of upbringing he had,” Ganassi said. “Is he stable in his thought? That usually comes from a stable household. “You really want guys that understand the sport, that have been in the sport for a long time, not looking for a piece of Hollywood, not looking to be on TMZ at night, just guys that respect the sport and appreciate it and come from a good, solid background with their family.” Team owner Joe Gibbs said in a team release that he has high hopes for Wallace. “This is exciting for Darrell, for Joe Gibbs Racing and really for NASCAR, I believe,” Gibbs said. “NASCAR has made tremendous progress through their diversity program, and we started our diversity program 10 years ago with Reggie White in hopes of providing opportunities to drivers we think have the ability to grow in our sport … We have a great deal of confidence in Darrell, and this is a big step in his career.” Wallace, 19, worked his way up through NASCAR’s developmental circuit, the K&N Pro Series, where he became the K&N circuit’s youngest and first African-American to win a race, at Greenville-Pickens [S.C.] Speedway in 2010, along with winning rookie of the year. Last year, he ran four Nationwide Series races and recorded three top-10 finishes and a pole, at Dover International Raceway. Larson, 19, won the 2012 K&N Pro Series East championship in his rookie season in that division, and also made four Truck Series starts last year. He finished second at Phoenix after leading 43 laps, and led 48 laps at Homestead before wrecking with Ty Dillon. He finished 10th in his series debut at Kentucky Speedway and was sixth in his second start, at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

NASCAR to curb start-and-park The practice of starting and quickly parking a car in NASCAR races won’t be as lucrative this year as it has been in the past. Series officials have whacked money off the bottom positions in the finishing order and moved that money up to mid-pack. NASCAR president Mike Helton said the change, which is estimated to be about $4,000 per position, is NASCAR’s way of trying to reward struggling teams that are trying to gain a foothold in the sport while penalizing those who are only there to collect some cash. “We’re moving the money to kind of reward owners like Tommy Baldwin and Frankie Stoddard and David Stremme’s Swan Racing group,” he said. “It’s not a lot of money, but it’s a starting point.” Helton added that if the blatant starting and parking continues, more changes could be in the offing. “It’s kind of a soft move now, but if it doesn’t work we can take more off the bottom and move it up,” he said.

All eyes on Gen 6 cars as competitive debut nears With NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series set to kick off the 2013 campaign this weekend at Daytona International Speedway with the non-points Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night followed by pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 on Sunday, much of the focus will be on the new Generation 6 race car, which makes its first appearance in a competitive environment. NASCAR president Mike Helton will be watching as closely as anyone, because he’s the one who will be responsible for making adjustments if one manufacturer winds up with a significant advantage over its competitors. The new cars are built to more closely resemble the showroom versions they represent, so Fords, Chevrolets and Toyotas all have different shapes. NASCAR has made every effort to ensure that all cars, while having different characteristics, are equal aerodynamically, but the true test won’t come until there are points and money on the line. Helton said that going into Speedweeks at Daytona, he believes the three manufacturers’ products are close aerodynamically. “We gave the manufacturers the aero numbers to match up to and asked them to design a car that would do that,” he said. “In today’s world, we can use a lot of science and technology to go into the design of these cars from a competition aspect. Hopefully we’ve done that correctly, but with the uniqueness of the shapes of these things, we could get back to the days where we have to adjust spoilers or something, but we don’t think so.” In an earlier era, it was almost a weekly occurrence to see representatives of race teams and

(NASCAR photo) manufacturers trekking to the NASCAR hauler in the garage to plead with Helton and other officials for rules tweaks to help them overcome disadvantages. Those disadvantages, both real and perceived, also were discussed and debated in many a water-cooler conversation across the NASCAR nation. Helton said that the return of that kind of debate wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. “The design of the cars and matching up to the showroom cars represents a bit of a throwback of its own, so going back to arguing over who’s got the best aero package and who’s got the best horsepower is part of the rivalry of our sport,” he said. “That’s something we’ve got experience with. It’s not the worst thing.” Helton also said he’ll be watching closely when the Gen-6 car makes its first competitive appearance on an intermediate-length track, at Las

Vegas Motor Speedway on March 10. “We want the intermediate-track racing to get better,” he said. “We’d like to figure out how to keep the guy from getting out by himself and just running away from everybody.” But he believes another unpopular kind of racing, one involving the two-car tandems that dominated recent races at Daytona and Talladega Superspeedway, is a thing of the past with the new car. “I think it’s gone,” Helton said. “... What we’ve seen so far – and what the garage area thinks – is that it doesn’t work any more.” Helton said the risks involved in tandem racing now far exceed the potential reward. “In testing, we saw two cars hooking up, and one car by itself could run as fast as they could,” he said. “And drivers in the tandem have to rely even more on each other’s talent than they did in the past.”

Walnut trailed 12-9 after one but fought back to knot the game at 21-21 at the break. The Cardinals expanded the lead to nine heading into the final eight minutes by doubling the host club 18-9 in the third. The Lady Wildcats, who finished second in all of 2A last season, advanced to Thursday’s semifinal round with a 37-27 win over Hickory Flat in Game 3.

Division 1-3A

BOONEVILLE -— The Kossuth Lady Aggies ended a lateseason slide by extending its recent stranglehold. Kossuth was 8-of-10 from the line in the fourth quarter and 26-of-30 overall in getting past Alcorn Central 61-50 in the fourth and final opening-round game of the Division 1-3A Tournament held Tuesday at Bonner Arnold Coliseum. The Lady Aggies ended a two-game slide and won their third straight over the Lady Bears in advancing to today’s semifinal contest against topseeded Ripley. Kossuth (16-12) has already punched its ticket into next week’s North Half Tournament. A win tonight would put them in a host role on Monday, while a loss would bring with it a road trip for the first of three elimination contests. Alcorn Central, which had won two of three coming into the postseason, saw its season end at 13-16. Parrish Tice had eight of her game-high-tying 18 points in the first half as Kossuth took a 26-22 lead at the break in the fourth meeting of the Alcorn County rivals. Kennedy Hester, who tied Tice for team honors, scored eight points in the third to keep the Lady Bears within striking distance at 41-34 after three. After being held to just two points in the first half, the senior went out in style with a 16-point second half. Kossuth would outscored the Lady Bears 20-16 in the fourth. The Lady Aggies would tally six buckets -- two each by Tice and Carleigh Mills, who filled in for injured senior Jordan Dickson -- and hit 8-of-10

Two turnovers and lay-ups from Holly Springs DeAndre Griffin and Marvin Burt stretched the lead to four. In the final 90 seconds, Holly Springs would send Jarvin Dowdy and Griffin to the line where both would drain five total points for the

Hawks to secure the win. Dowdy led in scoring for the Hawks at 15 points, as Courtavious Daughtery and Tyler Brown both finished with 12. The loss marks the final game of the season for the Kossuth Aggies who finish with a 12-14 record and a fifth place ranking in Division 1-3A. The Hawks advance to the semi-final round where they will face the Alcorn Central Golden Bears, the secondseeded team in 1-3A. The Hawks and Central will play at 4 p.m. today in Bonner Arnold Coliseum on the Northeast Mississippi Community College campus.

Lady Warriors complete sweep; Pontotoc awaits BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

FULTON — The Corinth Lady Warriors broke open a close game with a 13-4 advantage in the third quarter and held on to beat Tishomingo County 53-52 in the first of four first-round games of the Division 1-4A Tournament on Tuesday. Corinth (11-14) earned a berth in today’s semifinal round and a spot in Monday’s North Half Tournament with

their third win in as many tries against the Lady Braves. “We kind of underestimated them and got comfortable,” said Corinth Head Coach Patricia Barr. “We didn’t think they would fight back.” CHS will draw defending 4A state champion Pontotoc in today’s 7 p.m. contest. The Warriors (21-6) will play Pontotoc in the 5:30 semifinal match. Other winners included the Amory boys and Shannon

girls as the seeds held true in the elimination round. Tish County (7-19) puled to within one twice in the final quarter. Corinth missed four straight from the line and Tish answered with two makes to make it a one-point contest. The Lady Braves had the ball in the closing seconds but couldn’t get a bucket to avoid elimination. A.C. Griffen paced Tish County with a game-high 35

points, including 15 of her club’s 18 in the final quarter. Six other Lady Braves scored but none broke into double figures. Aspen Stricklen paced Corinth with 16 points — eight in each half. Kadejhi Long added 13, nine coming after the break. Teosha Boyd and Jaynesia Johnson chipped in nine each. Aundrea Adams (4) and Monique Barton (2) rounded out the scoring.

Kentucky star injured at Florida Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Scottie Wilbekin had 14 points and eight assists, Pat Young recorded his sixth double-double of the season and No. 7 Florida handled No. 25 Kentucky 69-52 on Tuesday night. The Gators (20-3, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) snapped a five-game losing streak in the series. The Wildcats (17-7, 8-3) lost for the first time in six games, and it may have been costly. Nerlens Noel, the nation’s leading shot-blocker, injured his left knee in the second half and did not return. Noel, a freshman who averages 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.5 blocks a game for the defending national champions, landed awkwardly on his leg with about 8 minutes to play. He screamed in pain as trainers rushed to his side. Teammates carried him to the locker room for tests. Florida had a comfortable lead before the injury.

Olympics panel cuts wrestling from 2020 games Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — For wrestling, this may have been the ultimate body slam: getting tossed out of the Olympic rings. The vote Tuesday by the IOC’s executive board stunned the world’s wrestlers, who see their sport as popular in many countries and steeped in history as old as the Olympics themselves. While wrestling will be included at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, it was cut from the games in 2020, which have yet to be awarded to a host city. 2004 Olympic Greco-Roman champion Khasan Baroev of Russia called the decision “mind-boggling.” “I just can’t believe it. And what sport will then be added to the Olympic program? What sport is worthy of replacing ours?” Baroev told the ITAR-Tass news agency. “Wrestling is popular in many countries — just see how the medals were distributed at the last Olympics.” The executive board of the International Olympic Committee reviewed the 26 sports on its summer program in order to remove one of them so it could add one later this year. It decided to cut wrestling

and keep modern pentathlon — a sport that combines fencing, horse riding, swimming, running and shooting — and was considered to be the most likely to be dropped. The board voted after reviewing a report by the IOC program commission report that analyzed 39 criteria, including TV ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping policy and global participation and popularity. With no official rankings or recommendations contained in the report, the final decision by the 15-member board was also subject to political, emotional and sentimental factors.

According to IOC documents obtained by the AP, wrestling ranked “low” in several of the technical criteria, including popularity with the public at the London Games — just below 5 on a scale of 10. Wrestling sold 113,851 tickets in London out of 116,854 available. Wrestling also ranked “low” in global TV audience with a maximum of 58.5 million viewers and an average of 23 million, the documents show. Internet hits and press coverage were also ranked as low. NBC, which televises the Olympics in the U.S., declined comment.

New book describes role of salt dome BY LAREECA RUCKER The Clarion-Ledger

JACKSON (AP) — He was 7 years old when U.S. government representatives came to his Lamar County home, boarded it up and evacuated his family three miles away to protect them from a nuclear blast that would both shake his body and the earth in a 30-mile radius of the Tatum Salt Dome. “We were probably about a mile and a half from ground zero,” said Kevin Saul, now 55. “They evacuated us to my grandmother’s house in Baxterville. It was just like an earthquake came through. The house was shimmering and shaking. The ground had a buckle effect to it. It would knock you off your feet.” For 30 seconds, Saul experienced the effects

of a moment in history designed to help the U.S. fight the Cold War. “They kept us out for a day, and we were allowed to go back in,” said Saul, a Mississippi Forestry Commission employee at Jamie White State Forest. When they did, they found damage. “The chimney had moved out from the house,” he said. “It caved the water well in. It broke lots of windows and moved the outhouse and the home off its foundation.” The tests are discussed in a new book, “Atomic Testing in Mississippi: Project Dribble and the Quest for Nuclear Weapons Treaty Verification in the Cold War Era,” by David Allen Burke. Released in November, it explores the history of America’s only

nuclear detonations east of the Mississippi River. Conducted in the 1960s nearly 3,000 feet below ground in Mississippi’s Tatum Salt Dome, it posed a potential threat for those living within 150 miles of the site in the cities of Hattiesburg, Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi, Mobile and New Orleans. Inspired by Peter Kuran’s video “Atomic Journeys: Welcome to Ground Zero,” which mentioned the Mississippi detonations, Burke, who grew up in Louisiana and Alabama, decided to write about the subject for his doctoral dissertation. Nuclear testing resulted in “massive amounts of radioactive fallout,” Burke said. But the U.S. needed that fallout to assess Soviet nuclear weapons development, he said. Moving Soviet and American tests underground eliminated the fallout but also the source of intelligence. Called the Vela Uniform program, testing began in 1960. “The first and largest detonation, code-named ‘Salmon,’ was fired Oct. 22, 1964, with an explosive yield of 5.3 kilotons — roughly one-third the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima,” Burke

said. “The second, smaller one, ‘Sterling,’ was fired Dec. 3, 1966, with a yield of 380 tons, in the underground cavity created by the Salmon blast. These tests were followed by two ethane/oxygen detonations in the chamber in 1969 and 1970.” Why Mississippi? Burke said the Atomic Energy Commission and the Advanced Research Projects Agency wanted to find a large salt dome devoid of petroleum. “The Tatum Dome, discovered in the 1930s, was deep underground, lacked oil and had been pretty much forgotten about,” Burke said. The tests conducted there were designed to examine seismic wave propagation as it spread through various types of soil and materials. Data collected helped determine whether the “Soviets could cheat when it came to underground atomic testing treaties that were anticipated for the future,” Burke said. “It is worth noting that these tests were conducted publicly and were reported on constantly. They were not secret, by any means. This was intentional. We wanted the Soviets to observe the

ing those people informed as to events at the site, and I would argue that it led to far more fear than was warranted,” Burke said. Wayne Tucker, a retired assistant forester with the Mississippi Forestry Commission, said it’s not widely known that nuclear testing occurred in Mississippi. He said the Department of Energy approached the Mississippi Institute for Forest Inventory, where he worked, about three years ago, offering the state the 1,740-acre tract. “They had these sites all over the country, and they wanted to divest of them,” Tucker said, adding state officials initially suspected radioactivity. “The only way we would accept it is if we did a study of the trees on the site to make sure there was no radiation.” Tucker said the agency worked with Mississippi State University and the state Department of Health’s radiology department, sampling about 700 trees. “We only found one tree that had any contamination at all — called tritium. It’s a precursor to radioactivity,” he said. Nursing students frequently conduct community health assessments in the area, Tucker said, and there are some 25 water wells routinely tested. Records go back to 1972 for any contamination on that site, Tucker said. “Like the guy from the radiology group said, there is more radiation in downtown Jackson than there is on that site. Every time I go out there, I see turkey, deer, rattlesnakes, cottonmouth, lots of critters.

tests, as well, from their own seismological stations.” In 1971, the land was returned to the Tatum family, but the Department of Energy purchased it in 1979 after a radiation leak scare, Burke said. “The Mississippi Department of Forestry obtained the land a couple of years back and is using it as an experimental tree farm,” he said. After high school, Saul moved away but returned two years ago. “Radiation was always a big concern,” Saul said. “They did testing there over the years and found out there was a higher rate of cancer there. They have a lot of sample wells out there. They come by periodically to test. It’s a rural area, but there’s a pretty good population now that’s built up over the last few years.” Burke said periodic monitoring of local plant and animal life for radioactivity continues. Although there has been no evidence of contamination, he says “there are a lot of people who live around the site, and many are either worried or convinced that they have been exposed to radioactive contamination.” “Still, radioactivity can be tricky, and it is true radioactive substances were brought up to the surface from the test chamber, and there was at least one instance of radioactive steam issuing from the borehole that led into the test chamber deep within the salt dome. Most of this was cleaned up. I cannot say if this is a source for concern, but it also cannot be ignored. “Over the years, the government dropped the ball when it came to keep-

Every once and a while, they will trap, grind them up and test the meat for contamination, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no contamination.â&#x20AC;? Liz Sharlot, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Health Department, said the agency routinely tests the Lamar County site and has never discovered significant radioactive levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We test quarterly and then conduct in-depth testing every April,â&#x20AC;? she said. Still, says Tucker, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you come down here, there are all kinds of old wivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tales that there are three-headed snakes and the animals glow at night.â&#x20AC;? Tucker said the salt dome testing is a fascinating piece of history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really contributed to the demise of the Cold War because we were able to know exactly what the Russians were doing with their underground testing.â&#x20AC;? The chilling part of the story is uncertainty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the uncertainty of the tests and the times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the federal government or any of the government officials knew what to expect,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They felt like they needed to do it, which I think proved that they did, but they really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the consequences.â&#x20AC;?

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 1 million Americans wind up back in the hospital only weeks after they left for reasons that could have been prevented â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a revolving door that for years has seemed impossible to slow. Now Medicare has begun punishing hospitals with hefty fines if they have too many readmissions, and a top official says signs of improvement are beginning to emerge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a very promising moment,â&#x20AC;? Medicare deputy administrator Jonathan Blum told The Associated Press. Nearly 1 in 5 Medicare patients is hospitalized again within a month of going home, and many of those return trips could have been avoided. But readmissions can happen at any age, not just with the over-65 crowd who are counted most closely. Where you live makes a difference, according to new research that shows how much room for improvement there really is. In parts of Utah, your chances of being rehospitalized are much lower than in areas of New York or New Jersey, says

a report being released this week from the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. The AP teamed with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore, through the eyes of patients, the myriad roadblocks to recovery that make it so difficult to trim unneeded readmissions. The hurdles start as patients walk out the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scared to go home,â&#x20AC;? is what Eric Davis, 51, remembers most as he left a Washington hospital, newly diagnosed with a dangerous lung disease. His instructions: stop smoking. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to use his inhaler or if it was safe to exercise, until a second hospitalization weeks later. There is no single solution. But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear is that hospitals will have to reach well outside their own walls if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to make a dent in readmissions. Otherwise a slew of athome difficulties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; confusion about what pills to take, no ride to the drugstore to fill prescriptions, not being able to get a post-hospital check-up in time to spot complications â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will keep sending people back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a team sport,â&#x20AC;?

says readmissions expert Dr. Eric Coleman of the University of Colorado in Denver. It requires â&#x20AC;&#x153;true community-wide engagement.â&#x20AC;? Pushed by those Medicare penalties, hospitals are getting the message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made hospitals go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh, just because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outside my door doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said nurse practitioner Jayne Mitchell of Oregon Health & Science University, who heads a new program to reduce readmissions of patients with heart failure. In a pilot test, her hospital is sending special telemedicine monitors home with certain high-risk patients so that nurses can make a quick daily check of how these patients are faring in that first critical month. Too often, families donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that many readmissions can be prevented. In Fort Washington, Md., Reggie Stokes started asking questions after his 84-year-old stepmother was hospitalized four times in a row, for transfusions to treat a rare blood disorder. He found a specialist in another city who said a bigger dose of a common medication is all she

needs. The hospital â&#x20AC;&#x153;could have helped her and saved moneyâ&#x20AC;? by doing that legwork, Stokes said. His advice: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have got to go out and do research for yourself.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling ill, said Lincoln Carter, 50, of New York, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think his pneumonia was under control when the hospital discharged him. But, Carter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even really know the questions to ask.â&#x20AC;? Nor could he get to his regular doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. When â&#x20AC;&#x153;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe, the last thing you want to do is sit on the subway.â&#x20AC;? A few days later, he was back in the hospital. Patients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be powerless, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation this week begins an effort called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Care About Your Care,â&#x20AC;? which offers consumers tips to guard against unnecessary readmissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has to understand their role in improving the quality of care, including families,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Risa LavizzoMourey, the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could be a time when we turn the corner.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Rehospitalizations are

miserable for patients, and a huge cost â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than $17 billion a year in avoidable Medicare bills alone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a nation struggling with the price of health care. Make no mistake, not all readmissions are preventable. But many are, if patients are given the right information and outpatient support. The new Dartmouth Atlas evaluated Medicare records for 2008 to 2010, the latest publicly available data, to check progress just before Medicare cracked down. In October, the government began fining more than 2,000 hospitals where too many patients with heart failure, pneumonia or a heart attack had to be readmitted in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Change is hard and comes slowly,â&#x20AC;? said Dartmouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. David Goodman, who led the work. Of seniors hospitalized for nonsurgical reasons, 15.9 percent were readmitted within a month in 2010, barely budging from 16.2 percent in 2008. Surgery readmissions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as frequent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 12.4 percent in 2010, compared with 12.7 percent in 2008. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably because the surgeon tends to provide some follow-up care.

Sale of Champions hits $5 million milestone BY KERI COLLINS LEWIS

“Raising livestock, keeping detailed records and traveling to competitions, in addition to school work, family commitments, jobs and other extracurricular activities, requires serious dedication from the youth and their families.”

MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE — After a week of intense competition, 42 animals and their exhibitors qualified for the 44th annual Dixie National Sale of Junior Champions, Mississippi’s premier youth livestock auction. Thirteen hogs, 12 lambs, nine goats and eight steers were auctioned off at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds’ Trade Mart. For the first time, the animals were sold by the head instead of by the pound to make it easier to calculate multiple buyers’ bids. The 2013 sale brought in bids with a preliminary total of $316,914. This figure included about $88,000 for the steers, $72,250 for the hogs, $61,750 for the lambs and $49,500 for the goats.

Paula Threadgill Associate Extension director “Many people have contributed to this accomplishment,” said Dean Jousan, Mississippi State University Extension Service 4-H livestock specialist. “The committee members, sponsors, buyers, Extension agents and FFA advisors, and families across the state work hard to instill in our youth a sense of pride in being

ones who walk into the ring. They show, they win and they make the sale.” Volunteers started the Dixie National Junior Sale of Champions in 1970 to encourage youth to continue investing their time and effort into livestock projects. “Raising livestock, keeping detailed records and traveling to competitions, in addition to school work, family commitments, jobs and other extracurricular activities, requires serious dedication from the youth and their families,” said Paula Threadgill, associate Extension director. “It’s more than simply taking care of an animal; it’s time management, organization, responsibility, patience, determination and just plain hard work.” Eleven-year-old twins Jillian and James Roberts of Belzoni qualified for

Donors added more than $45,000 to animals in the sale and in scholarship contributions after bidding closed. Two new sales records were set: the highest price paid for a goat at $15,500 and $25,000 for a steer. This year the sale hit a major milestone when it passed the $5 million mark in funds raised over the sale’s 44-year history.

involved in agriculture. “We rely on an extensive network of supporters to make an event of this size happen. Passing the $5 million mark is a huge compliment to the state’s youth and agriculture industry,” he said. 4-H and FFA participants brought their winning animals into the sale ring before an audience of included family members, business owners, agricultural leaders, mentors and friends. The buyers’ purpose is to show their support of these future leaders. “This is a way for the business community to honor the hard work these kids have done,” said Harry Dendy, chair of the Dixie National Sale of Junior Champions promotion committee. “They have a lot of support from their families, but at the end of the day, they’re the

the sale for the first time with their Mississippibred Chester hog, Bossy Bessie, named after their great-aunt. “Aunt Bessie is a force to be reckoned with, and so is that hog,” said Crystal Roberts, the twins’ mother. The twins spend three hours a day taking care of their animals. “We get up at 6 o’clock in the morning and feed them before we go to school,” said Jillian. “We walk them in the afternoon and feed them at night.” Sharing responsibility for Bossy Bessie has not been a problem, and they have taken turns showing her. “Jillian was showing the pig, and when we found out she was going to be in the sale I jumped out of the bleachers,” James said. “Aunt Bessie was there with us, and she loves it that Bossy Bessie won.” Since 1993, the Dixie National Sale of Junior Champions promotion committee has also raised funds for scholarships based on academic achievement and livestock showmanship. To date, they have awarded 467 scholarships totaling $551,200. Donors contributed funds for 25 academic scholarships worth $1,500 each awarded to outstanding seniors; five premier exhibitor scholarships worth $2,000 each given to top beef, dairy, swine, lamb and goat competitors; and three supreme exhibitor scholarships worth $1,500 each for beef, dairy cattle, and dairy goat exhibitors.

Grammy Awards reward variety of artists BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

LOS ANGELES — Unlike last year, when the Grammys became the Adele show, each of the leading nominees in a diverse and eclectic field got a chance to bask in the spotlight of music’s biggest night. Fun., whose anthemic and semidark jam “We Are Young” dominated the charts in 2012, won song of the year. Gotye’s massive and oddball pop hit, “Somebody I Used to Know,” picked up record of the year. And folkrockers Mumford & Sons won album of the year for their platinum-selling “Babel.” Fun. also won best new artist, besting Frank Ocean in an upset. The Recording Academy had a clear message at its 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night: There are a lot of top acts today with both mainstream appeal and an edge to their music, and the academy was happy to spread the love. “One after the other, it was like, ‘And the Black Keys...,’ so I think we just sort of resigned ourselves to like, last year was Adele’s year and this

year would be the Black Keys,” said lead singer Marcus Mumford, who thought his band would lose album of the year to the Black Keys. Then Mumford added in a loud scream once he learned they won: “It’s (expletive) awesome!” Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, the night’s big winner with four trophies, was one of six acts with the most nominations — six each. He won non-classical producer of the year, while the Black Keys earned the best rock album, song and performance honors. “Thank you to our families and everybody in Akron, Ohio, and everybody in Nashville,” the band’s drummer, Patrick Carney, said. The Black Keys dominated the rock category, while Jay-Z and Kanye West did the same in the rap area. But the pop, country and R&B categories were a reflection of the top four honors, with no single act dominating. Winners in those categories ranged from Adele to Paul McCartney, Carrie Underwood to the Zac Brown Band, and Usher to Miguel. Ocean, Mumford &

But the pop, country and R&B categories were a reflection of the top four honors, with no single act dominating. Winners in those categories ranged from Adele to Paul McCartney, Carrie Underwood to the Zac Brown Band, and Usher to Miguel. Sons, Jay-Z, Kanye West and fun. were also the top nominees of the night, and they won multiple Grammys. But Ocean — who was anticipated to win best new artist — won two trophies and was restricted to the urban categories. It was another year the Grammys dissed a rap or R&B artist from the top awards. Last year, West lost in an upset and in 2011 it was Eminem. Ocean’s official studio debut, “channel ORANGE,” did win best urban contemporary album. He also won best rap/ sung collaboration for “No Church In the Wild” with West, Jay-Z and

The-Dream. But the R&B singer released one of the year’s most critically revered albums last year, which made several best-of-theyear lists. He also made headlines when he revealed his first love was a man shortly before the album’s release. Ocean’s loss to fun. for best new artist was a shock, but the band’s win was understood. The pop-rock trio had two of the year’s biggest hits with “We Are Young” and “Some Nights.” Their sophomore album, “Some Nights,” is also near-platinum. “Making music for 12 years — you don’t think

you’ll get Grammy-nominated,” lead singer Nate Ruess said backstage. “Radio and mainstream just kind of picked up on (us) and it feels good for us after 12 years of people kind of just ignoring you and always feeling like you’re kind of the bridesmaid.” Like fun., Gotye had a monstrous hit with the Kimbra-assisted “Somebody that I Used to Know,” and it won record of the year and best pop duo/group collaboration. His album, “Making Mirrors,” won best alternative music album. Gotye’s three wins were joined by Black Keys, West, Jay-Z and Skrillex, who picked up the same trophies he won last year. “You know what, I thought I’d get used to it, but I tripped over every word when I was up there. I felt like I just wanted a pool of ice water and just couldn’t even breathe or think,” said the electronic-DJ, who won best dance recording, dance/ electronica album and remixed recording. “It was crazy. I think it was even crazier than last year.” Double winners included Ocean, fun., Mumford & Sons, Chick Corea, Esperanza Spalding and Matt Redman. The various winners of the night were hard to predict. Mumford & Sons won album of the year, though the band lost best Americana album to Bonnie Raitt. And fun. won song of the year and best new artist, but lost best pop vocal album to Kelly Clarkson. The performances — as usual — were also a reflection of diversity in music: Taylor Swift opened with her pop smash “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and Miguel sang his R&B hit “Adorn” onstage and off of it.

“Miguel, I don’t know who the hell you are, but we need to sing together,” Clarkson said when accepting an award. “I mean, good god. That was the sexiest dancing I’ve ever seen.” The night’s most memorable performance was the tribute to Levon Helm, which featured Elton John, Mumford & Sons, T Bone Burnett and the raspy vocals of Mavis Staples and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes. They earned a standing ovation. Jack White, who was nominated for the album of the year, was also well-received Sunday night. Justin Timberlake made a return to the Grammy stage, performing his new hit “Suit & Tie” and a new song, the falsetto-heavy “Push Your Love Girl.” Jay-Z joined the pop star onstage, and there were more collaborations like it throughout the night. Alicia Keys joined Maroon 5, Miranda Lambert sang with Dierks Bentley, and Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Sting paid tribute to Bob Marley. They were joined by Damian and Ziggy Marley. The crowd sang along during “Could You Be Loved.” Adele, who was last year’s big winner with six trophies, won best pop performance for “Set Fire to the Rain (Live).” She said backstage that she’s enjoying motherhood and is at the beginning stages of recording her next album. “I’ve been up since 6 a.m. so I’m quite tired. But it’s nice, I haven’t been as stressed out,” she said. “You kind of have to prioritize what you stress about and worry about when you have a child.” Online: http://grammys.com

Shiloh CCC exhibit Museum extends hours The next four weeks

Throughout February, in commemoration of African American History Month, Shiloh National

Military Park will be displaying a special exhibit on the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) at Shiloh. The exhibit runs through Thursday, Feb. 28, in the Shiloh Visitor Center, 1055 Pittsburg Landing Rd. Shiloh, Tenn. It features many rarely seen images and documents from Shilohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archival collection pertaining to the African American CCC crew that was stationed at Shiloh in the 1930s. The CCC exhibit is viewable during regular business hours, 8 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5 p.m. in the Shiloh Battlefield Visitor Center. For more information go to www.nps.gov/shil or www.facebook.com/ ShilohNMP, or call the Visitor Center at 731689-5696.

Emancipation Proclamation on display NASHVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The original Emancipation Proclamation, a document that changed the lives of countless AfricanAmericans during the Civil War, is on display in Nashville as the fragile historical document makes its only stop in the Southeast on a 150th anniversary tour. The exhibit opened Tuesday at the Tennessee State Museum and runs through Monday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rare visit outside the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital for the original document Lincoln signed in 1863 declaring â&#x20AC;&#x153;forever freeâ&#x20AC;? all slaves

held in Confederate states rebelling against the Union. Because lights are harmful to the papers, the document can only be viewed for 72 hours over the course of the six days. After Feb. 18, a replica of the Emancipation Proclamation will be on display until the exhibit ends Sept. 1. Bruce Bustard, senior curator at the National Archives where the document is kept, said Tennessee was a key battleground in the war, so he expects the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discovering The Civil Warâ&#x20AC;? exhibit will draw many visitors interested in seeing some

of the original documents from the war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tennessee was an incredibly important state during the Civil War,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were more battles in Tennessee than any other state in the Union except for Virginia.â&#x20AC;? The exhibit is organized by topic, rather than chronologically like most Civil War museum exhibits. It emphasizes a wide range of documents, records and artifacts that have been preserved at the National Archives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are trying to do is tell you the littleknown stories, and also some seldom seen docu-

ments and unusual perspectives on the war,â&#x20AC;? said Bustard, during a preview of the exhibit Monday. The museum gave out all of some 18,000 reservations for visitors and school groups, but it will be accommodating additional walk-in visitors, spokeswoman Mary Skinner said. Along with the original proclamation, the exhibit also displays the original signed copy of the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery in 1865, and the 1861 unratified amendment that would have prevented the federal government from interfering in slavery.

After serving this community for the past 16 years,

Hematology and Oncology Associates of Corinth IS CLOSING on Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Changes in oncology economics and reimbursements cuts are the driving force behind this decision. We will continue our practice at our central office in Tupelo and look forward to meeting your healthcare needs there.

Card of Thanks

I would like to thank everyone for the donations of furniture and money after my home was destroyed by a semi truck. All the prayers and words of comfort meant so much. I feel so blessed to know that I have so many people who care when you are in need. I thank God everyday for letting me spend a little more time with my family and friends. David Stevens, my guardian angel, I am so glad to have met you and have you as a friend in my life. I believe God put you in my life at just the right time. Yuu have made me laugh and have helped me through this and I thank you so much. To my coworkers, Conner and Cindy, thank you for taking over for me while my family and I dealt with this. I am so proud to work with you and also have you as my friends. My bosses, the Patels, have been a great help and I am so grateful. God bless you all! Lisa Miller Mgr. Shiloh Rd. BP
