Junior Auxiliary honors Mary Dee Kemp as Outstanding Citizen

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

An educator praised for her big heart and Southern charm is the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth’s Outstanding Citizen of 2013.

Mary Dee Kemp, an educator for more than 30 years, was honored with the title Saturday evening at the annual Charity Ball.

Supporters of her nomination for the honor cited her dedication to others both in and out of the classroom through the years.

“I am always amazed that she can be so devoted to so many people and organizations,” Hulene King wrote in support of Kemp’s nomination.

A Biggersville native, Kemp briefly taught school at Farmington in the 1970s before teaching in Memphis schools.

She later spent more than 20 years with the Alcorn School District, where she taught junior high history.

“She inspired many young people with a love of history,”

wrote Rosemary Fisher. “While at Central, she began the Geography Bees for her students, taking them to county and state contests.”

At First Presbyterian Church, Kemp drove the launch of the Presbyterian Day School in 1973, a program that continues today, and formed The Friendship Class for special-needs adults, a program that also continues. The Friendship group has sessions in the spring and fall to give those individuals a variety of enrichment and recreational activities.

“One can see and feel the love within the group,” wrote Margaret Anne Orr. “Mary Dee is a hero to these students and also to their parents. I am thankful every day for her leadership with this group.”

The nomination of Kemp also noted her involvement in establishing the Artist Series, which brought professional musicians, dancers and drama to the local theatre. She helped to form Horizon, a support

organization for the city and county school districts, and has led Girl Scout troops.

Kemp has been one of the key players in bringing back a regular home tour along with an art auction to benefit efforts to restore the VerandahCurlee House.

Kemp is also an avid tennis player.

“Her love for tennis has drawn many onto the courts,” wrote Orr. “One spring she chose not to play on her team but to get a group of beginners out and be their captain. She inspired this group of Corinth’s younger ladies, and they continue to play and enjoy the sport.”

Judy Smelser praised her ability to raise the bar and inspire others to try new things.

“If you were to describe her in three words, they would be ‘determined, disciplined and dedicated,’” she wrote. “Her involvement in the community spans her entire life.”

With husband Sam, Kemp

“I was very surprised when I got the letter of recommendation to be a part of the committee,” said Hibbard. “My first reaction was wow.”

Hibbard received a letter from the Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka requesting her to serve on the convention promotion committee in August of last year.

She and her husband, Jack, traveled to Australia on Feb. 11 and were back the following week after going through training.

Legendary civil rights icon James Meredith visits Corinth

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Legendary civil rights icon James Meredith has reached an age when many are content to relax and assess how their lifetime was spent, but the feisty hero of desegregation is still fighting the good fight, still striving to help black people fulfill their full potential.

Meredith’s name was entered into the lexicon of Amer-

ican history in 1962, when the 29-year-old armed forces veteran registered for classes at Ole Miss and became the first black student in a Mississippi university.

On Thursday, Meredith spent almost two hours at the Corinth Library speaking to a gathering of about 30 Corinthians and signing copies of his newest book, “A Message from God: A Memoir and Challenge

for America.”

The Kosciusko-born Meredith – who will turn 80 in June – has never considered himself part of the civil rights movement, or a tool of any other group, for that matter.

Instead, he sees himself as a warrior, one man waging battle for his people against white supremacy and an unfair, corrupt and often downright evil system.

God’s Plan for Our Time Looking spry in a red Ole Miss baseball cap and matching polo shirt over white slacks, Meredith was full of energy and conviction when he stepped to the podium.

He talked for almost an hour about his book and his home state – delineating how far Mississippians have come from the days of segregation

and Jim Crow, and how far they still have to go.

Meredith’s words made it known that the man truly loves Mississippi – but it is the affection of an old lover who loves perhaps even more deeply, in spite of his partner’s flaws and shortcomings that he sees all too clear.

MEREDITH CONTINUED FROM 1A

come a long way in providing opportunities at the higher levels in the state of Mississippi, but we are a near-total failure at the lower level – particularly in our public schools,” Meredith said.

Throughout most of his life, Meredith said, especially the last 20 years, one of his biggest struggles has been wondering why God has preserved his life on Earth.

“Then the message came: You have not done your job yet,” he said.

After receiving God’s instructions, Meredith vowed to spend the rest of his life fighting to focus his fellow Mississippians’ attention on providing better opportunities for the state’s lower levels of society.

He defines the lower levels according to two criteria – age and riches – and Meredith doesn’t follow a strictly financial definition of “riches.”

He explained, “Most people think the important riches are material riches, but actually the most important riches are spiritual riches.”

Meredith said the state’s black Christians hold the keys to a better future for tomorrow’s black Mississippians.

Black Mississippians know the Bible “from back to front,” he said, but at the same time many blacks are not following its teachings.

Meredith’s vision for the future is centered on Biblical teachings.

“We all know the Bible says you should train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it,” he said.

Scripture forms the foundation for Meredith’s five-point plan to create a better future for black Mississippians by influencing the children during their most formative years, from birth to the age of 5.

“It took me 50 years to write this one page,” he said. “This is God’s message for our time, and we must work to make God’s will on Earth as it is in heaven.”

Meredith’s longwrought plan is an integral part of his “A Mission from God” book. His five points are: 1. Only the family of God can solve the problems of our time.

2. The Bible says, “You should train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

3. The African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.”

4. God’s Plan: Every church in Mississippi should take responsibility for every child born within two miles of the church.

5. The church should keep a record of each child from birth to age 21.

“The solution to our public education problem is to get black Christians to do more than they already do,” he stressed. “Jesus Christ teaches us to build our church on a solid foundation. But the church is not a building – it’s the people – and the future depends on what the elders of the black race do or not do.”

Meredith is adamant that the way to a better tomorrow must come from the hands of elders in Mississippi’s black

Christian community.

“The old black folks of Mississippi have to do their job,” he emphasized. “The only way to solve the problems of the youth is for elders to do their job.”

An unpredictable ixcon It has been just over 50 years since federal marshals escorted Meredith through the doors of the University of Mississippi’s administration building and into the pages of history. His actions over the decades show Meredith to be a man not content to rest on his laurels.

His steps have never been predictable.

Some of his efforts have been lauded by black leaders and civil rights advocates, such as the 1966 “March Against Fear” when Meredith set out solo to walk from Memphis all the way through the state of Mississippi to inspire the state’s blacks to register and vote.

The march didn’t go as planned. Just south of Hernando on Highway 51, a bushwhacker almost laid him low with three rounds of buckshot. A photo taken seconds after the shooting as Meredith writhed in pain on the pavement became an indelible image of black Americans’ struggle for equality in the 1960s and won a Pulitzer Prize for the photographer.

Other episodes from the James Howard Meredith story are not so easily packaged into the convenient narrative of a civil rights hero. Unpredictable and an ad-

Civil Rights legend and author James Meredith signs a copy of his new book for Corinth’s Charlotte Icardi. mitted egotist, Meredith has demonstrated over and over that he has no interest in living up to anyone’s expectations and will not let his iconic name and story become co-opted by any group or organization. He is a man who answers only to God and his own conscience.

Years after breaking the color barrier in Mississippi colleges, Meredith declared himself an opponent of ebonics – a word used to describe the idiosyncratic form of English spoken by African Americans. The term “African American” is also anathema to Meredith; he describes himself and other members of his race simply as blacks.

Over the years he has

campaigned for statelevel office on the Republican ticket, served on the staff of former segregationist Sen. Jesse Helms and endorsed the gubernatorial campaign of David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan member.

The renowned journalist, author and Corinth High School grad Curtis Wilkie wrote about Meredith in his book “Dixie: A Personal Odyssey Through Events That Shaped the Modern South.”

Wilkie wrote: “An eccentric whose politics befuddled others in the civil rights community, Meredith moved like a lone wolf, criticizing movement leaders and voting Republican.”

The unpredictable arc of Meredith’s life may

not fit neatly against the simplified image of a saintly crusader for equality, and his route may have been impossible to understand at times, but Meredith has never lost his drive to make America a better place for his people. Now he is approaching his eighth decade of life, and that fiery courage that pushed him out front in the war against bigotry has never cooled.

Andserson Elementary gets new principal

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Sunday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2013. There are 310 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1868, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate.

On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull, or edict, outlining his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.)

In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes.

In 1821, Mexican rebels proclaimed the “Plan de Iguala,” their declaration of independence from Spain.

In 1863, Arizona was organized as a territory.

In 1912, the American Jewish women’s organization Hadassah was founded in New York City.

In 1920, the German Workers Party, which later became the Nazi Party, met in Munich to adopt its platform.

In 1938, the first nylon bristle toothbrush, manufactured by DuPont under the name “Dr. West’s Miracle Toothbrush,” went on sale. (Previously, toothbrush bristles were made from animal hair.)

In 1942, the SS Struma, a charter ship attempting to carry Jewish refugees from Romania to Palestine during World War II, was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine; all but one of the 769 refugees on board perished.

In 1961, the Federal Communications Commission authorized the nation’s first full-scale trial of pay television in Hartford, Conn.

In 1983, a congressional commission released a report condemning the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II as a “grave injustice.”

In 1988, in a ruling that expanded legal protections for parody and satire, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a $150,000 award that the Rev. Jerry Falwell had won against Hustler magazine and publisher Larry Flynt.

Booneville’s Anderson Elementary School will get a new leader this fall with the promotion of the school’s current principal to a district office-level leadership position.

LaQuita McDonald was named principal of the school for the upcoming 2013-2014 school year

by the district’s board of trustees at their most recent meeting.

McDonald currently serves as assistant principal at AES and will move into the school’s top position with the start of the new school year this fall.

Current AES principal Beverly Hill has been promoted to the position of academic coach begin-

ning with the start of the 2013-2014 school year.

Superintendent Todd English said Hill will be responsible for working with teachers and administrators throughout the district in implementing the more rigorous common core curriculum standards and supporting their training and other efforts as the district

makes this transition.

The board approved all other administrative personnel for the 2013-2014 school year with no other changes.

The administrative staff will include: Lisa Kilgore (special programs/testing coordinator), Brad Jackson (assistant principal at Booneville Middle School), Terry King

(principal at Booneville High School), Brad Mixon (principal at Booneville Middle School), Jeri Potts (NEMRAEC Director), Dustin Pounders (technology coordinator), Bo Sandlin (assistant principal at BHS), Michael Smith (athletic director) and Martha Spearman (part-time federal programs director).

board to understand the logistical and operation details of the Green Market, possibly arranging a meeting between the two boards.

The Crossroads Museum board will likely vote to accept responsibility for the Green Market during its regular monthly meeting next Thursday.

“We’re in agreement to take it, but we don’t know a lot about it and want to work with you guys,”

Walker said.

The tourism board voted to give the Green Market event to the Crossroads Museum and give the museum $3,000 to get started on advertising since the event is getting so close.

The first Green Market for 2013 will be held April 6 in conjunction with the annual Crossroads Chili Cook-Off. Established in 2009, the Green Market pro-

vides an opportunity for farmers, gardeners, artisans and craftsmen to sell their wares in an openair, grassroots setting.

The event was selected as a top fair or festival in the state by “Mississippi Magazine” readers and voted the Best Small Event by the Mississippi Tourism Association.

The Green Market encourages buying and selling locally, stimulates the local economy and pro-

vides a place for residents and visitors to gather and share their goods. Items must be handmade and homegrown.

The Green Market is held the first Saturday of the month from April thru October, followed by a Christmas-theme event during November. It is held on museum property known as the CARE Garden behind the tourism office in downtown Corinth.

sponsible of drawing attention to the convention in Zone 30 and 31, starting at the end of March.

The two zones are composed of 26 districts over parts of 13 states.

“I will be required to get in touch with and present information to all 26 districts,” said the first female president of the Corinth Rotary Club.

“It will be a busy year.”

The Sydney Convention is set for June 1-4 of 2014 at Sydney Olympic

Park. According to Hibbard, organizers of the event are hoping to break the 22,000 mark in attendance.

“I think we will have over 400 from the district attend,” said the University of Mississippi graduate. “I am going to encourage all Rotarians to go.”

The mother of 11-yearold Jacqueline, Hibbard has been to three prior conventions in the United States.

“Those who attend will see Rotary as so much more than just in their community,” she said. “It opens an Rotarian’s eyes to the importance the organization can make.”

Introduced to Rotary by her uncle Winston Whitfield in 1991, Hibbard said there will be several speakers and breakout sessions involving Rotary missions and goals during the Sydney event.

“It’s a lot of fun to go

to these type of events,” said Hibbard. “You meet new people and make lasting friendships.”

Presently, Rotary is composed of 1.2 million members in over 200 countries. There are more than 30,000 clubs worldwide.

“The fellowship I have gained by being a member is remarkable,” said the Rotarian. “Rotary has given me a chance to meet so many wonderful friends from all over.”

“The last time a blanket notification was sent out, many homeowners either ignored the warning or claimed they were hobbies or had plans to get them back on the road in the future,” said Ratliff.

“Many of these cars are still where they were the last time a check was made.”

Properties in the ward 4 area that are on the list and face possible action by the city: ■ 1202, 1204, 1602, 1606 and 1609 Droke Road, as well as another property on Droke with a number of junk cars, old appliances and debris in the yard ■ Overgrown lot in the 200 block of Cemetery ■ 1604 Horton Street ■ 1224 White Street

303 Johns Street 1006 Ross Street and a few empty lots elsewhere on Ross Street ■ Lots on the northeast and southeast corner of the intersection of Allen Street and Pierce Street ■ An empty, overgrown lot between 1508 and 1520 Tate Street ■ 1204, 1219, 1223 and a couple of other properties on Wick Street ■ Two burned-out properties on Johns Street north of the national cemetery ■ 1302 Dickey Street and another nearby lot with junk cars and debris After notices are sent, if property owners do not take action, the city may adjudicate properties for cleanup at the

owner’s expense. A public hearing before the Board of Aldermen precedes adjudication.

“This is never a popular or easy thing to do, but

it's something that must be done,” said Ratliff.

“We want to continue the work of making our community an attractive one.”

MARKET CONTINUED FROM 1A

for years, she said.

Crossroads Museum Board President Sandy Walker said the board of trustees is excited about taking over the event.

“It will be a good fundraiser for the museum,” Walker said. “As with many small museums, we struggle with funding.”

Along with properties that are overgrown, burned out or pose some other hazard, the city is looking at “junk” vehicles that are in violation of code.

“Several junk cars have been identified on Meadows, Frazier and throughout the South Corinth community,” Ratliff. “If a car does not have a current inspection sticker and up-to-date license plate, it qualifies as a junk car.”

Owners need to remove the cars or bring them up to code to avoid action by the city.

Legislators turn attention to budget

BY CLAYTON STANLEY Columnist

With a little more than a month to go in the 2013 legislative session, last week members turned their attention to budgeting for next fiscal year, which begins on July 1.

The FY14 budget is believed to be around $5.5 billion, slightly more than the current fiscal year.

With a few exceptions most agencies are expected to receive roughly the same amount they received this year with the exception of money being added to each agencies appropriation to fund the employees’ retirement.

Last week the appropriations bills for the roughly 100 state agencies were introduced.

The Senate introduced half of the bills, and the House introduced the other half. The way the process works is each house passes its own bills and then sends them to the other house for further consideration. The deadline for passing these bills out of the originating house is Wednesday.

With the exception of the secretary of state’s appropriation bill, which failed in the Senate on Thursday, all of the appropriation bills have been passed out of the originating house. The secretary of state budget failed to pass after a partisan debate over money intended to fund anticipated court costs to defend Mississippi’s voter ID legislation.

The voter ID law which was passed several years ago, must be approved by the U.S. Justice Department. The secretary of state and others believe the Obama Justice Department is likely to strike down the law, a measure he then intends to challenge in court.

The delay on passing this appropriation bill should be temporary as several senators were absent on Thursday when the issue failed on a close vote. The Senate should have the votes to reconsider and pass this bill next week once everyone returns.

Once members put the Wednesday appropriation and revenue deadline behind, the focus will return to the general bills that were passed earlier in the opposing house.

One bill to be watched locally deals with appointing school superintendents.

While the House version of a bill died, the Senate version remains alive. The Senate version will soon be considered by the House Education Committee, where it is believed to have the necessary votes. Having appointed superintendents is a priority for legislative leaders which typically means they will find a way to make it happen.

Look for this bill, SB2199, to pass without much trouble.

Finally, the Senate is now considering a bill that local sportsmen are watching. HB1139 would allow hunters to use “a weapon of choice” on private land during the primitive weapon seasons for deer.

Since legalizing the use of certain single shot center fire rifles several years ago, the weapons used during the primitive weapon season are hardly “primitive” any longer. Should this bill become law, hunters would have the flexibility to use any modern rifle during the primitive weapon season provided they are hunting on private land. The bill has been amended, pushing back the effective date to July 2014 to appease gun dealers who requested time to clear their inventories of the single shot rifles which will likely fall out of favor.

Legislators reconvene at 4 on Monday to kick off what is likely to be another busy deadline week.

Prayer for today Lord, give us wisdom and a loving heart so that at every moment of our life we will be ready for a meeting with you. Amen.

A verse to share But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, — 1 Peter 3:15

Cut commitments, not muscle in sequestration In that year of happy memory, 1972, George McGovern, the Democratic nominee, declared he would chop defense by fully onethird.

A friendly congressman was persuaded to ask Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird to expatiate on what this might mean.

The Pentagon replied the Sixth Fleet might have to be pulled out of the Med, leaving Israel without U.S. protection against the fleet of Adm. Sergei Gorshkov, and provided the congressman a list of U.S. bases that would have to be shut down.

Radio ads were run in the towns closest to the bases on the Pentagon list, declaring they would be closed and all jobs terminated, should McGovern win. Something akin to this is going on with the impending sequester.

A cut of 7 percent, $46 billion, in Pentagon spending, says Army chief Ray Odierno, will mean a “hollowing” out of his force.

The Navy? The carrier Harry Truman will not be sailing to the Persian Gulf.

The Abraham Lincoln will not be overhauled in Newport News. Thousands of jobs will be lost.

Military aid to Israel may be cut, says John Kerry.

But if an evisceration of the national defense is imminent, why did Obama not tell us in 2012? Why were the joint chiefs silent, when they are panicked now? Are

the generals, admirals and contractors all crying wolf?

Undeniably, spendPat ing cuts by seBuchanan quester slicer, chopping Columnist all equally, is mindless.

And with the national security, it manifests a failure of both parties to come to terms with the world we are now in.

The Cold War is over. The Soviet Union is gone. Mao’s China is gone, though a mightier China has emerged, as America’s share of the global economy is shrinking.

Moreover, as ex-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mike Mullen contends, our greatest strategic threat is not Kim Jong Un or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but the soaring national debt.

And if, as Republicans insist, we have a debt crisis because we are “spending too much,” spending will have to be cut — discretionary spending, entitlements and defense. And the only question about the defense cuts is not whether they are coming, but where.

What is needed is what America, since the collapse of the Soviet Empire, has stubbornly resisted doing: a strategic review of all U.S. commitments abroad to determine which remain vital to the national security.

Before we decide what our defense forces should be, let us determine what is in the U.S. vital interest to defend at risk of war.

Start with NATO. In 1961, President Eisenhower urged JFK to bring home the U.S. forces and let the Europeans raise the armies to defend themselves, lest they become military dependencies.

Yet, more than 20 years after the Wall fell, the Red Army went home, East Europe broke free and the Soviet Union fell apart, we have scores of thousands of troops in Europe.

Why? The European Union’s economy is 10 times that of Russia. Europe’s population is twice Russia’s.

Why are we still there?

Though we have given NATO war guarantees to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, our McCainiacs want them handed out to the Ukraine and Georgia. Yet no president in his right mind is going to go to war with a nuclear-armed Russia over some Caucasus dustup or Baltic brawl.

If Richard Nixon could achieve a modus vivendi with Chairman Mao, have we no statesman who can patch it up with Vladimir Putin? A first step might be to pull all U.S. missiles out of Eastern Europe and put our democracy-meddlers on the next plane out of Moscow.

Even as Ike was telling JFK to bring the troops home from Europe, Gen. Douglas

MacArthur was urging JFK not to put his foot soldiers in Asia — advice not taken there, either.

On retirement, Robert Gates said any future defense secretary who advises a president to fight another land war in Asia ought to have his head examined. So why do we have 28,000 U.S. troops in Korea and 50,000 in Japan?

In his Guam Doctrine, Nixon declared that in any future Asian war, we should provide the weapons to our Asian allies and they should do the fighting. Does that not still make sense today?

Before we can decide the size and shape of our defense budget, we need a consensus on what we must defend.

And if Republicans wish to remain a viable party, they cannot delegate these decisions to the “We-are-allGeorgians-now!” crowd that plunged us into Iraq and is bawling for intervention in Syria and war on Iran.

The GOP desperately needs a credible, countervailing voice to the uberhawks whose bellicosity all but killed the party in the Bush era.

Obama is president because of them. And his most popular act, according to voter surveys from 2012?

Ending the war in Iraq.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

Extortionist in chief’s plan harms country At the end of 1995 and stretching into January 1996, the federal government “shut down” because of an impasse between President Bill Clinton and House Republicans led by then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The issue was increased taxes vs. less spending. Sound familiar?

The government re-opened when a bipartisan agreement was reached to balance the budget by 2003. It wasn’t for reasons that included, but were not limited to, two wars. Now the national debt is racing toward an unsustainable $17 trillion.

This time around it isn’t about closing government.

It’s about “sequestration,” which President Obama, the Democrats and their big media toadies are styling as economic Armageddon.

On Tuesday, President Obama appeared in the Eisenhower Executive Office building next to the White House. Behind him on risers, looking like a church choir but without the robes, were his usual Greek chorus of potential victims should Republicans cut spending

by a single dollar.

The president said the cuts from sequestration would be “brutal” if lawmakers allow “this meat cleaver approach to

take place.”

Military readiness would be hurt, he claimed, if these cuts were allowed to happen. Investments in energy curtailed, medical research impaired, teacher layoffs and emergency responders couldn’t respond.

Once again, the president offered up the old bait and switch: “targeted spending cuts” along with “closing tax loopholes.” As has happened before, if Republicans agree to this they’ll likely get inconsequential “cuts,” if they get any at all, but tax hikes will occur right away. More importantly, any new revenue will likely not reduce the debt because Democrats in Congress are noted for spending new revenue and they won’t deal with the ma-

jor reason for the debt: entitlements.

Last Sunday’s New York Times was a kind of preview of Obama’s Tuesday remarks. An editorial running more than half the page offered a litany of gloom and doom if Republicans forced the administration to start behaving more responsibly with our money.

The president is again betting that playing to people’s emotions, along with envy of “the rich” and calls for “fair share” in taxes will produce a win for him. But if it does, it won’t be a win for the country. Can there be any doubt that the president’s goal is to marginalize the Republican Party and make them ineffective now and in the next two elections?

The major media can be relied on — with help from the administration -- to find people who will be laid off work, or a “homeless” person, or a crying woman with her baby down to the last drop of milk. They did during the government shutdown, obscuring the real issue, which is overspending.

As John Makin of the

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

American Enterprise Institute wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal, the sequester “...amounts to $2 of spending cuts for every dollar of the president’s tax increases enacted on Jan. 2.” The looming cuts, Makin notes, are “minuscule” when compared to the overall debt.

The president got his tax hike in the fiscal cliff debate.

To ask for more now without significant spending cuts, entitlement reform and a rewritten tax code aligns him with the extortionists who ruled Chicago during the Roaring ’20s.

In his oath of office, the president promised to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Instead, he appears to be shredding it.

Whatever the short-term political price, Republicans must stand for the Constitution, the country and the future. Allowing the president to have his way again risks harming all three.

Smugglers cashing in on can refund LANSING, Mich. — Michigan lawmakers want to crack down on can and bottle smugglers they say are scamming Michigan for undeserved recycling refunds, corrupting a generous 10-cent per container payback policy once infamously portrayed in a “Seinfeld” episode and which beverage officials now claim costs the state millions of dollars annually.

“Seinfeld” characters Kramer and Newman failed miserably in their comedic attempt to cash in on the refund, when they loaded a mail truck full of cans and bottles in New York and attempted to drive them to Michigan. But lawmakers say it’s a serious problem, especially in border counties, and they want to toughen penalties on people who try to return unmarked, out-of-state cans and bottles for refunds.

“If you are intending to defraud ... then you should be held accountable for it,” said Republican Rep. Kenneth Kurtz of Coldwater.

He recently introduced legislation aimed at cracking down on scammers who drive car and truck loads of cans from Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio — states that do not offer refunds — to stores across the border in Michigan.

His legislation would make an attempt to return between 100 and 10,000 non-returnable containers punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Current law sets penalties only for those who actually return fraudulent containers.

Michigan’s 10 cent-percontainer refund — the highest in the country — was enacted more than 30 years ago to encourage recycling. Many say it’s worked. The state’s recycling rate for cans and bottles was nearly 96 percent in 2011. By contrast, New York, one of nine states with nickel deposits on most containers, saw only a 66.8 percent redemption rate in 2007, the most recent figure available.

Despite measures Michigan lawmakers have taken over the years, including tougher penalties for bottle scammers and new machines that kick out fraudulent cans, store owners and distributors along the border say illegal returns persist.

Report of gunman at MIT was a hoax CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

— An unfounded report of a gunman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that briefly caused a campus-wide lockdown Saturday stemmed from an electronic message sent to police, authorities said.

Officers searched for a man reported to be carrying a long rifle and wearing body armor but found nothing unusual, Cambridge police said.

The report turned out to be a hoax, and there

Cambridge police received the tip in an electronic chat message around 7:30 a.m., but witnesses on the scene eventually contradicted it, spokesman Dan Riviello said. MIT sent two emergency alerts via text message, urging people to stay indoors. Less than an hour later, police posted on Twitter that the scene was clear.

Investigators are trying to identify the prankster and will pursue criminal charges if they do, Riviello said.

He declined to provide additional details or confirm reports that the IP address used by the prankster has been traced to New York, saying “as it is an active and ongoing investigation, I cannot release any additional information at this time.”

6 leaking tanks are nuke site’s latest woe

Postcard mailed in 1967 turns up PAULS VALLEY, Okla.

— It may have taken 46 years, but one boy’s postcard has made it home to Mom. Bert Jacobson sent the postcard to his mother in Pauls Valley, Okla., in January 1967, when he was 13 years old. The card, from the Old Country Store Museum in Hereford, Penn., arrived Friday.

Jacobson tells Tulsa television station KOTV (http://is.gd/5MzAmX ) that he traveled to the East Coast with his father and cousins to buy concrete trucks and mixing equipment for the family business.

The postcard was sent with a 4-cent Abraham Lincoln stamp. The card reads: “Mom, Hi. We’ve been having a great time.”

Jacobson’s sister, Marilyn Hubbard, says their mother wasn’t surprised that her son sent a card — only that it took 46 years to arrive.

YAKIMA, Wash. — Federal and state officials say six underground tanks holding a brew of radioactive and toxic waste are leaking at the country’s most contaminated nuclear site in south-central Washington, raising concerns about delays for emptying the aging tanks.

The leaking materials at Hanford Nuclear Reservation pose no immediate risk to public safety or the environment because it would take perhaps years for the chemicals to reach groundwater, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday.

But the news has renewed discussion over delays for emptying the tanks, which were installed decades ago and are long past their intended 20-year life span.

“None of these tanks would be acceptable for use today. They are all beyond their design life.

None of them should be in service,” said Tom Carpenter of Hanford Challenge, a Hanford watchdog group. “And yet, they’re holding two-thirds of the nation’s high-level nuclear waste.”

Just last week, state officials announced that one of Hanford’s 177 tanks was leaking 150 to 300 gallons a year, posing a risk to groundwater and rivers. So far, nearby monitoring wells haven’t detected higher radioactivity levels.

Inslee then traveled to Washington, D.C., to discuss the problem with federal officials, learning in meetings Friday that six tanks are leaking.

The declining waste levels in the six tanks were missed because only a narrow band of measurements was evaluated, rather than a wider band that would have shown the levels changing over time, Inslee said.

“It’s like if you’re trying to determine if climate change is happening, only looking at the data for today,” he said. “Perhaps human error, the Please see NATION | 6A

Credit agency cuts Gulfport’s rating GULFPORT — A credit agency has cut Gulfport’s rating by a notch.

Moody’s Investors Service says the city’s cash reserves are suffering because of hurricane recovery projects the city hasn’t collected federal money for and because sales tax collections are lagging.

John Kelly, Gulfport’s chief administrative officer, tells the Sun Herald that the lower rating means the city could pay more if it wants to borrow money. But the city doesn’t currently have any borrowing plans.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency owes Gulfport $15 million for projects completed to help the city recover from 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.

Kelly says $7 million of that amount is “in the pipeline” and could arrive soon.

Sales tax collections, which make up 40 percent of the revenue of Mississippi’s secondlargest city have also fallen.

7 airport towers could be closed by cuts JACKSON — Automatic federal budget cuts could shut down control towers at as many as seven Mississippi airports.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned Friday of the closing of 100 airport towers at airports that have 150,000 flights or fewer each year if automatic federal spending cuts take effect March 1.

The Federal Aviation Administration says that among the airports that could be affected are Greenville’s Mid-Delta Regional Airport, Columbus’ Golden Triangle Regional Airport, Jackson’s Hawkins Field, Bay St. Louis’ Stennis International Airport, Meridian’s Key Field, Olive Branch Airport and Tupelo Regional Airport.

They’re on a list of 200 airports from which the FAA expects to select 100 towers to be closed

by April 1.

Midnight shifts could be eliminated for 60 towers nationwide, though none in Mississippi.

If towers close, pilots

who are landing and taking off would probably communicate with each other on a common radio frequency. But it could slow down airport operations and make fields ineligible for some military operations.

Mike Hainsey, the executive director of Golden Triangle Regional Airport, told WCBI-TV that he’s mainly worried about the impact on Columbus Air Force Base, which plans to base some of its training planes at the civilian airport.

“For normal operations at the Golden Triangle Regional Airport, we would still be able to operate at a smaller, slower tempo, which would still maintain a level of safety,” Hainsey said. “Our No. 1 concern would be the impact on Columbus Air Force Base. Columbus Air Force Base is planning on the first of March on putting a dozen air planes there to operate to help them continue to produce students while their main runway is closed. They would not be able to do that if our tower is closed.”

The air base also faces civilian employee furloughs because of the budget cuts.

The FAA says it will cut $600 million from the rest of the 2013 budget year. LaHood warns that because other controllers will be furloughed without pay up to one day a week, delays are likely even with air travel to larger airports. LaHood warned of delays of up to 90 minutes to fly to major airports and predicted airlines will reschedule or cancel flights.

Man accused of killing estranged wife WAYNESBORO — An Alabama man is charged with killing his estranged wife in Mississippi.

Authorities say the 22-year-old Andrews was driving alone on U.S. 84 outside Waynesboro when Pace shot her Thursday afternoon, causing her to wreck.

She died at the scene.

Pace was arrested shortly afterward at his mother’s house in nearby Gilbertown, Ala. A judge ordered him returned to Mississippi after a hearing Friday.

COLUMBUS — The Columbus Police Department will launch a gun buy-back program on Monday.

The Commercial Dispatch reports guns can be exchanged for cash payments at the Wal-Mart parking lot, Townsend Community Center, Sim Scott Park and the East Columbus Gym. The first set of buyback dates are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The City Council approved the program at the recommendation of Mayor Robert Smith and Councilman Kabir Karriem.

Participants can anonymously swap guns for payments of $20 for BB guns or air pistols, $100 for hand guns, $200 for rifles or shotguns and $300 for military/assault rifles. City officials say the weapons will be destroyed.

“No one has to worry about selling the guns and putting them back in circulation,” Columbus Police Chief Selvain McQueen said.

There is one exception, McQueen said.

“We will run the guns to see if they are stolen and try to get them back to their owners.”

There were 13 homicides in Columbus between 2008 and 2012, seven of them in 2011.

Three of the crimes remain unsolved.

There have also been 160 arrests for aggravated assaults with a firearm in the same fiveyear period according to the police Department.

McQueen said he hopes the program will help reduce gun violence in Columbus.

The effectiveness of such programs is contested.

A legend visits Corinth Northeast Regional Libraries Director William McMullin remarked on the importance of Meredith’s visit to Corinth.

“We are extremely grateful that Mr. Meredith made it here today,” said McMullin. “He was at Booneville at 11 a.m. and got a good response from the crowd there. I know Corinth people will give him a great welcome.

He’s such a historical figure, and we’re glad he decided to stop in Corinth.”

Corinth resident and Crossroads Poetry Project President Autry Davis listened attentively to Meredith’s discussion of his book and his instructions for black Mississippians. Davis said as long as he lives he’ll be proud of making Meredith’s acquaintance, hearing him

speak and sitting for a photo with the living legend.

“The thrill is just meeting the man,” Davis said.

“I remember – I was 12 or 13 years old then – and I remember just sympathizing, I guess, with all that was happening during a time black people didn’t know how it was going to turn out. We really didn’t.”

Davis spoke with admiration of Meredith’s brave actions at Ole Miss almost a half-century ago and emphasized the courage it took for Meredith to put his life on the line in the name of equal opportunity and integration.

“What he did, most of us will never know what it really took. In my senior year of high school they integrated McNairy County,” said Davis, who graduated in 1966. “I was still scared to go to a white school, so I stayed at my school. Just think of what Meredith did. How quickly the time flies.”

Three tornadoes confirmed in state JACKSON — Three tornadoes have been confirmed in the storms that moved across Louisiana and Mississippi Thursday, though none caused injuries The National Weather Service says a tornado with winds as strong as 120 mph cut a 6-mile path in an area of Jefferson Davis County west of Bassfield, Miss.

The storm, with a path as wide as 400 yards, destroyed a farm building and damaged homes and other structures. It was rated EF-2 on the Fujita scale.

Near Clayton, La., a tornado left a 2.5-mile damage trail. Weather Service meteorologists say it had peak winds of about 90 mph, rating EF-1. The Concordia Parish twister tore the roof from a mobile home, flipped a truck trailer and damaged roofs.

“It was a pretty lowend F-1 on the weaker end of the scale,” Warning Coordination Meteorologist Stephen Wilkinson told The Natchez Democrat.

Southwest of Collins, Miss., a tornado with

top winds of 80 mph left a 1-mile damage trail.

The Covington County twister, rated EF-0, took the roof off a chicken house.

A tornado also hit Pineland, Texas, Thursday, about 20 miles west of the Louisiana state line. It killed a 74-year-old woman when a tree fell onto her mobile home, damaging as many as 25 houses.

The same weather system caused widespread hail across southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana Friday, occasionally accompanied by damaging winds.

It was the second outbreak of rough weather in four days for the region. Monday, the Weather Service counted 17 tornadoes in an outbreak across east Texas and northwest Louisiana. Damage was light and there were no injuries.

Animal shelter gets car tag funds OXFORD — The Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society has received $6,000 from sales of “I Care for Animals” car tag program.

The “I Care for Animals” tag allows people to purchase a special license plate that helps homeless animals in the state.

The license plate program is in its ninth year and has funded 61 organizations throughout the state.

The program is administered through the Mississippi Board of Animal Health.

The Oxford shelter, founded in 1982, has used the funds to offset costs of spaying and neutering for adopted animals.

Shelter representative Sarah Layton tells the Oxford Eagle that the adoption fee covers most of the cost but it doesn’t always cover all expenses such as food, medications and veterinary bills.

Danger revises Las Vegas image LAS VEGAS (AP) — Variously known as an adult playground and Disneyland for grown-ups, Las Vegas brands itself as a place where tourists can enjoy a sense of edginess with no real danger.

But a series of high-profile episodes of random violence amid the throngs of tourists is threatening Sin City’s reputation as a padded room of a town where people can cut loose with no fear of consequences.

A car-to-car shooting and fiery crash that killed two bystanders and an

aspiring rapper Thursday followed a bizarre elevator stabbing and a movie theater parking lot shooting.

Though crime has been falling on the glitzy stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that houses most of the city’s major casinos, tourism officials worry that vacationers and convention planners could begin to steer clear of the town because of a perception of mayhem.

“We are concerned because it can create misperceptions about the safety of the city, the safety of the Strip,” said Gary Thompson, spokesman for Caesars Entertainment, which owns 10 resorts in the tourist zone, including Caesars Palace and Paris Las Vegas.

Casinos are particularly worried about convention business, which helps fill rooms and gambling tables between weekends. Corporate planners can swing the market with a few decisions, said Gordon Absher, spokesman for MGM Resorts International.

“And that decision will bring thousands of people,” he said. MGM operates several major

Violent crime, which includes murder, rape, robbery and assault, in the city’s main tourist hub fell 13 percent in 2012, from 256 to 223 incidents, and is down 11 percent for the first part of 2013, with 50 incidents reported. The number of rapes has fallen by more than a third.

There have been two homicides just off the Strip this year, in addition to the three deaths Thursday, compared to none in the area during the first month and a half of 2012.

NRA uses memo to accuse Obama WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Rifle Association is using a Justice Department memo it obtained to argue in ads that the Obama administration believes its gun control plans won’t work unless the government seizes firearms and requires national gun registration — ideas the White House has not proposed and does not support.

JACKSON — The Mississippi Development Authority is leading a trade mission of businessmen to Germany and Poland.

The event is May 2024.

Aggie Sikora, MDA’s European trade specialist, says the German and Polish markets that have grown significantly for U.S. companies in recent years. She says both countries are key strategic locations for expansion into the European Union and developing Eastern European markets.

Sikora says the MDA will help Mississippi businesses schedule appointments with prospective, qualified buyers, provide local transportation assistance and a customized itinerary.

The NRA’s assertion and its obtaining of the memo in the first place underscore the no-holds-barred battle under way as Washington’s fight over gun restrictions heats up.

The memo, under the name of one of the Justice Department’s leading crime researchers, critiques the effectiveness of gun control proposals, including some of President Barack Obama’s. A Justice Department official called the memo an unfinished review of gun violence research and said it does not represent administration policy.

The memo says requiring background checks for more gun purchases could help, but also could lead to more illicit weapons sales. It says banning assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines produced in the future but exempting those already owned by the public, as Obama has proposed, would have limited impact because people now own so many of those items.

A little taste on the wild side Annual Wildlife Tasting Supper names recipe winners What could be better than venison chili or stew?

Maybe 17 different varieties.

I’d planned on making venison chili for the wildlife testing annual event this year, but discovered all our venison was in my Sue son’s freezBronson er. It’s a good thing Down Home I didn’t because daughter-in-law Kristi claimed first place. I don’t think I could have tolerated the bragging if she’d upped one on me.

I’m proud of her because she really earned it, working all day getting it just right. At the last moment, she said she added an extra can of RoTel because most men like the heat.

Several week ago, grandson Jerod brought me six squirrels to make him some squirrel and dumplings.

When I told him I’d like to save them for the wildlife supper, he said, “I’ll kill you some more, Mamaw.”

That didn’t happen, so I ended up buying shrimp for shrimp gumbo.

Even though the family said they were the best dumplings I’d ever made, I don’t think they would have been competition for Linda Garrett’s. I just made drop dumplings, since presentation is wasted on grandchildren.

I’ve been enjoying the wildlife tasting supper for many years. There were about 50 people at the first supper I attended and someone commented that was a good turnout. Every year it has gotten bigger and better, with over 600 attending this year. After 28 years, it still surprises me when I talk with someone who’s there for the first time.

I grew up eating fried squirrel for breakfast and any other wildlife Daddy brought home. My favorite is still Mommy’s rabbit hash.

I always told my boys and some of their friends whose mothers wouldn’t touch wildlife -- “You kill it and I’ll cook it.”

That still holds now for my grandsons.

The is only one rule.

I’ll cook it, but I won’t clean it. I had enough of that when I had to help Daddy skin rabbits and squirrels.

At the wildlife tasting, I always try to eat something different so over the years I’ve experienced shark, alligator, black bear, opossum and rattlesnake, to name a few.

This year, while talking to server Patricia Coleman, she said, “That’s pulled coon. Would you like to try some?”

Right after that, I spotted an old friend Ralph Coln and told him about the coon. He said, “A friend of mine brought that. I’d like for you to meet him.”

It was a delight to meet

Kenneth Laroux, a bona fide Cajun from Converse, La., who’s used to cooking all kinds of “critter” dishes.

There was certainly a variety of wildlife dishes in every category, especially antlered with 51 entries.

It was hard to sample everything, but some of the favorites of the men at my table were deer summer sausage, beaver balls and deer sausage stuffed mushrooms.

With the coon being my first choice, venison hot tamales came in a close second.

When I got in the dessert line, I started counting the people ahead of me and stopped at 70. Amanda Caldwell’s blueberry crunch alone was worth the wait, but I didn’t stop there. With 64 entries in that category, it didn’t take long to fill my plate.

Kristi Bronson shares her recipe for first-place chili. Even though it didn’t win, I’m including my shrimp gumbo recipe.

Kenneth Laroux, a bona fide Cajun, likes to eat as well as make wildlife dishes. He brought pulled coon to the event.

Patricia Coleman readies pulled coon for serving.

MICHIE, Tenn. — A year of hard work has been a positive thing for owner Tim Hearnsberger and his Top o’ the River restaurant in Michie.

Top o’ the River will celebrate their first anniversary with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Feb. 28. The ceremony at the restaurant will begin at 4 p.m.

A cautious Hearnsberger chose to not have a normal grand opening when he first opened for business and is now ready to celebrate the successful first year. “A lot of restaurants that fail do so in the first year and I wanted to make sure we were going to make it before we had the grand opening,� said Hearnsberger.

The great sign of how well the business is doing that Hearnsberger plans to begin an addition in the next two months. He said the work on a new dining room would start soon and give him room for more customers.

Michie’s central location with almost equal distance between Selmer, Savannah and Corinth

has been good for business at the restaurant. “I believe that half of my business comes from Mississippi,� he said. “I’ve been really blessed by the people from the Corinth area.�

Hearnsberger has plenty of experience running a restaurant, having owned the Sonic in Selmer for 19 years. His wife Becky is now the manager at Sonic.

His family owned three Top o’ the River locations in Alabama and he knew that was the type of restaurant he wanted to run in this area. “I went down there to learn how they ran their restaurants,� said Hearnsberger. “I did everything from washing dishes to carrying out the orders to the tables.�

The restaurant has 54 employees now and Hearnsberger expects to add at least 15 employees when the new dining room is complete.

Top o’ the River is open six days week, only closed on Monday. They are open from 4:30 p.m.- 9 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. The business is opened at 4 p.m. on Saturday and at noon on Sunday.

Park cuts detailed in memo Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The towering giant sequoias at Yosemite National Park would go unprotected from visitors who might trample their shallow roots. At Cape Cod National Seashore, large sections of the Great Beach would close to keep eggs from being destroyed if natural resource managers are cut.

Gettysburg would decrease by one-fifth the numbers of school children who learn about the historic Pennsylvania battle that was a turning point in the Civil War. As America’s financial clock ticks toward forced spending cuts to countless government agencies, The Associated Press has obtained a National Park Service memo that compiles a list of potential effects at the nation’s most beautiful and historic places just as spring vacation season begins. “We’re planning for this to happen and hoping that it doesn’t,� said Park Service spokesman Jeffrey Olson, who confirmed that the list is authentic and represents cuts the department is considering.

Park Service Director Jon Jarvis last month asked superintendents to show by Feb. 11 how they would absorb the 5 percent funding cuts. The memo includes some of those decisions.

While not all 398 parks had submitted plans by the time the memo was written, a pattern of deep slashes that could harm resources and provide fewer protections for visitors has emerged.

In Yosemite National Park in California, for example, park administrators fear that less frequent trash pickup would potentially attract bears into campgrounds.

The cuts will be challenging considering they would be implemented over the next seven months — peak season for national parks. That’s especially true in Yellowstone, where the summertime crush of millions of visitors in cars and RVs dwarfs those who venture into the park on snowmobiles during the winter.

More than 3 million people typically visit Yellowstone between May and September, 10 times

as many as the park gets the rest of the year. “This is a big, complex park, and we provide a lot of services that people don’t realize,� Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash said. “They don’t realize we’re also the water and wastewater treatment operators and that it’s our job to patch potholes, for heaven’s sake.�

Distance doesn’t diminish man’s misplaced anger DEAR ABBY: I have been in love with “Richard” for 14 years. We broke up after we dated for a while because my alcoholic mother kept interfering.

She kept telling me Abigail how “bad” Van Buren he was for me — and I, Dear Abby thinking my mother had my best interests at heart, believed her.

After a divorce on my part and a breakup on his, we are now in a long-distance relationship. We hope to make our relationship permanent after getting to know each other again.

My problem is, when Richard is unhappy or upset with someone else, he takes it out on me. It doesn’t seem

to matter what happened, he’ll pick a fight over something inconsequential. It drives me crazy.

I know what he’s doing; I just don’t know how to stop it. The latest flare-up involved the fact that his dog was missing, so he picked a fight with me because I “always tell him how nice the weather is where I live.”

He refuses to get counseling. What do I do? —PULLING MY HAIR OUT DEAR PULLING: Your problem isn’t that Richard uses you as a scapegoat for his frustrations; it’s that you tolerate it. It’s possible that because of your mother’s alcoholism and the unpredictable behavior you were subjected to during your formative years, you have accepted Richard’s behavior.

Because he refuses counseling, you should get some.

What he’s doing is not acceptable. It is emotional abuse. From my perspective, the healthiest thing you could do for yourself besides break up with Richard would be to keep the romance long-distance.

DEAR ABBY: A good friend of mine gave me some books -- books she didn’t like! My question: Why would you pass on something you did not enjoy reading? — THERESA IN SAN DIEGO DEAR THERESA: Perhaps she thought you would like them. Because she didn’t care for the books didn’t mean you automatically wouldn’t. Or, having paid for them, she didn’t want the money she had spent to go to waste.

My thought: Give her the benefit of the doubt and stop looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s wonderful to have niceties and treats in your life, but setting limits in this regard is essential to good living.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your life force is surging strongly now, so don’t be surprised if people stop to stare. They are only trying to figure out that indescribable something that makes you so compelling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To recover from a fall is life-affirming. To recover before the fall is even more so. Staying on your feet will require a series of adjustments, and you’re so ready for whatever comes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Every rose has its thorn, but a good florist will handle the problem for paying customers. And today, you’ll be more than happy to trade your hard-earned cash to get another prickly problem handled.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Over-familiarity is not good for relationships. When common courtesies go out the window, it’s a signal to distance yourself. How far should you step back?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). The best luck you have today comes in the form of another person. The one you most like to play with will be available and open to your whims.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ve learned quite a lot from your mentor, and yet your results have their own unique flavor. It’s a taste that the world needs right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t go swimming without getting wet. Today you’ll willingly suffer some little inconvenience because you realize it’s part of the deal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Just because they don’t get you doesn’t mean

you’re wrong. If you can find a way to tolerate the feeling of being misunderstood, you’ll have a great advantage over those who rely on the approval of others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’re up for playing games when it’s fun.

Your fellow gamer’s strategy is to feign helplessness so you’ll participate in a big way -- maybe even jump through hoops.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be negotiating once more. It always helps your side to be autonomous.

If you feel like you could step away at any moment and it’s all the same to you, you’re in a good position.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Can you have too many hobbies? Not really. If a new one appeals to you, there is probably a reason for it. It might take a small investment to go where your intrigue leads you, but the cost will be worthwhile.

Elzy ends Corinth’s streak Panthers earn first North title

With the house sitting on 20, Amanda Elzy left the table a winner.

The defending Class 4A state champion Panthers claimed their first North State championship with a 57-45 win over Corinth in the finals of the Class 4A North Half Tournament championship on Saturday.

“It’s our first North State title and I’m happy to be a part

of it,” said Elzy Head Coach Gerald Glass. “I thought we would come out a play well.”

Elzy (29-5) dethroned the reigning North champions and ended Corinth’s 20-game home winning streak in the process. The Warriors had gone 20-up and 20-down in the Tepee since falling to Booneville 70-68 in the 3A event two years and four days prior to Saturday.

Both clubs, who punched their collective tickets to the State Tournament with semifinal wins on Friday, will play Monday, March 4, in the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.

The Panthers will face South

runner-up Raymond at 2:30, while Corinth (26-7) will take on two-time South champ Laurel in the 8 p.m. nightcap.

The winners will meet in the title game the following Friday at 8:30 p.m.

The Panthers, whose lone in-state loss came at the hands of Class 5A North runner-up Provine, jumped out to a sixpoint lead three minutes into the contest. Corinth rallied to take a 13-12 lead after one and snared its second three-point advantage on a long twopointer by Terrel Payton at the 6:21-mark of the second.

Elzy took the lead for good on its long deuce – this one

from Gerald Glass Jr. – midway in the period and took a 27-21 lead at recess.

“We’re know for our slow starts,” said Coach Glass. “But we just keep fighting and never let up.”

DeKarrius Prayer, who tallied half of Elzy’s 12 points in the third, pushed the lead out to 10 twice in the third. An 8-2 run – with Payton and Antares Gwyn splitting the load – got Corinth to within six late in the third before Reginald Wright’s drive to the hold with five seconds remaining.

County softball sweeps opening day contests

BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinithan.com

A six-game sweep opened fast-pitch softball season for three county teams.

At Kossuth, the Lady Aggies played host in the Lady Aggie Classic, where four area teams went head-to-head for a four-game slate.

Kossuth Lady Aggies

INGOMAR — Biggersville’s six-game winning streak came to end Saturday at the hands of the Coldwater Cougars, the 2012 Class 1A state title rematch ending in a familiar way for the Lions.

The 76-55 loss echoed the 68-55 defeat that the Cougars handed BHS on March 2, 2012.

The game would remain scoreless until the 5:36 mark, as Coldwater’s Devonte Roberts knocked in the first basket.

Daniel Simmons put up the first points for the Lions, a three-pointer for a 3-2 lead.

A one-point lead proved to be all the Lions got in the first half, as the Cougars rallied for 11 turnovers against the Biggersville five.

The Lions fought back in the second quarter from a 30-17 deficit to enter the break with a 36-30 score following a 4-0 run by Jaylon Gaines and Emmanuel Simmons.

Biggersville opened the second half in a similar vein, getting two unanswered baskets to tie the game at 36.

Daniel Simmons punched in a twopointer for a 38-36 lead, and again tie the game at 44 with a three basket.

Down by eight at the close of three, Coldwater knocked in 18 more points to dominate the Lions in the final period.

The Lions ended the game with 23 turnovers, while forcing another 20 on the Cougars, but turned in only 21 rebounds.

Earlando Blair led with 18 for the Cougars, with three others making double digits: Brian Polk at 12, and Marcel Hunt and Devonte Roberts with 10 each.

Daniel Simmons and Jaylon Gaines each finished with 17 points for the Lions. Emmanuel Simmons rounded out double digits with 10.

The Lady Aggies came up big in the tournament, knocking down the Tupelo Golden Wave in a 3-0 shutout, where pitcher Kristen Devers tossed a perfect game.

Over four innings, Devers sat down each batter in turn,

while the Aggies banked in runs during the first and third inning.

In the closing contest, Kossuth pulled in a come-frombehind win over the Tishomingo County Braves.

The 4-3 game saw TCHS leading after a base hit by Kalee Nash to usher Breeze Knupp over home plate to close top half of the second inning.

A double from Rebekah Lambert brought in two additional runs in the third inning after an error by the Aggie outfield, but the Aggies came roaring back in the bottom of the inning.

Madison Hales knocked a

double into center field after Hannah Parks slid into home plate on a wild pitch.

Hales hit sent pinch-runner Abby Lyles and outfielder Shelby Stewart across home plate to tie the score at 3.

Brittany Brooks got the winning hit for the Aggies in the fourth, sending a double into left field for Madison Holt, pinch-running for Paden Tomlin, to score the final run.

just two buckets and six points out of its backcourt and none after the first quarter.

Corinth finished just 1-of-13 from 3-point range and missed its final 11 tries after Desmin Harris gave the host club its first lead at 8-7 at the 4:14 mark of the first.

“They challenged our shots so well that we couldn’t make anything from the outside,” said Corinth Head Coach Keith Greene.

Corinth shot just 33 percent overall in the first half, making 7-of-

21 shots. The Warriors were 10-of-26 in the final half to finish 17-of47 on the night.

Nothing came easy for the Warriors inside the arc either.

Gwyn came away with a steal at midcourt on the opening possession of the second half, but Rahkeem Lehaman thwarted the breakway layup with a block from behind and one of the Panthers’ 20 defensive rebounds.

“We got some good looks at the rim, but they are athletic enough that they can play the

ball without fouling,” said Greene.

Lehaman added 10 points and Prayer finished with nine. Maurice Dunlap II managed only a pair of free throws with 35.8 seconds remaining.

Elzy finished 23-42 overall and 2-of-7 from deep. The much taller club ended the night with a 28-27 advantage on the boards, 14 from Middleton. Payton and Sorrell lead Corinth with six boards each.

Corinth had 14 turnovers, nine in falling behind by six at the break.

The court martial of General Earl Van Dorn

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

I just love a good courtroom drama and the military court martial movies are some of the best.

Who could forget Jack Nicholson screaming “You can’t handle the truth” in “A Few Good Men” or Humphrey Bogart as “Old Yellow Stain” in “The Caine Mutiny”?

The list could go on and on.

In the real world a court martial is pretty boring.

When I was on the USS Pensacola I had to testify when my skipper was accused of negligence in putting the ship aground.

I was the Engineering Officer of the Watch when it happened and my account was deemed critical in determining guilt or innocence. I walked into the courtroom expecting to see that actor from “JAG” but it was not to be.

I guess that only happens in Hollywood.

The Battle of Corinth led to a military trial and the accused was none other than Confederate Gen. Earl Van Dorn.

The battle was a Southern defeat, and if somebody had to be blamed, it’s logical that the guy at the top be the one held responsible. Interestingly enough, the trial came at Van Dorn’s own request when charges emerged concerning his leadership. To be technical, the trial was deemed a Court of Inquiry, but the results could be just as devastating to a military career.

In the days following the Confederate defeat, Brigadier General John S. Bowen, one of Van Dorn’s brigade commanders, was convinced the loss could have been a victory and the blame should rightfully be placed squarely on Van Dorn’s shoulders.

Bowen claimed the army commander undertook “an important military expedition against the enemy at Corinth, Miss., where they (the enemy) were strongly fortified and in formidable numbers, fully prepared for a stubborn resistance, without due consideration or forethought; and did utterly fail to discharge his duties as a general commanding an army.”

There were two main charges with a whole host of specifications and particulars.

The first charge, “Neglect of Duty,” was broken into several parts that accused “Buck” Van Dorn of setting out on the campaign without proper maps, without a competent engineering officer, without enough food, without proper reconnaissance, and without regard for the men who were marched too far and too hard in a bid to achieve a level of surprise that was never actually achieved.

He was also accused of calling off the attack on

Major General Earl “Buck” Van Dorn

Brigadier General John S. Bowen

The Battle of Corinth was a Southern defeat, and if somebody had to be blamed, it’s logical that the guy at the top be the one held responsible. Interestingly enough, the trial came at Van Dorn’s own request when charges emerged concerning his leadership.

Oct. 3, which allowed the Union to receive large reenforcements, and that he didn’t take into account these reinforcements or enemy entrenchments before attacking on the 4th. And this was just the first charge against him.

The second charge was the “Cruel and improper treatment of officers and soldiers under his command,” specifically because he marched and counter-marched his exhausted and foot-sore men due to an ignorance of the roads, and that he also left a train load of badly wounded men unattended without doctors, bandages or water.

These were some serious charges.

And to top it off, a third charge was added after the trial had begun: “Drunkenness.”

Three generals were appointed to be officers of the court; Maj. Gen. Sterling Price, Ma. Gen. Dabney Maury and Brig. Gen. Lloyd Tilghman.

Price and Maury had been at the battle and had first-hand knowledge of the events in question. Whether or not this would be good or bad for Van Dorn would remain to be seen.

The accuser, Gen. Bowen, would be brought in as a witness but backed away from being an active member of the prosecution. He felt such a duty would be “exceedingly unpleasant” and was best

left to the judge advocate and the court recorder.

The first witness called was Brig. Gen. Albert Rust, who commanded one of Van Dorn’s brigades. He claimed he didn’t know anything about maps, engineers or reinforcements. His men had plenty of food and ammo and they did not do any excessive marching.

The only thing negative he had to say was his absolute belief the attack never stood a chance, but then under cross examination, he said he had a change of heart during the fight and felt they stood a pretty good chance of lickin’ the enemy after all.

He was hardly a star witness for the prosecution or the defense.

The next witness was Gen. Bowen, the officer who had preferred the charges. The judge advocate and the three members of the court raked the young general over the coals. You’d have thought he was the one on trial, and in a way, he was. Since he made the accusations, it was up to him to give proof of his claims. He did okay but didn’t exactly produce the “smoking gun.”

The third witness gave the case a bizarre twist.

Maj. Gen. Price, a friend of the accused and one of the three judges, was asked to leave the table of the court officers and take a seat on the witness

stand.

I’m not a lawyer, but this smells pretty fishy to me. In a modern court this would raise questions of conflict of interest and bias. Not only were Van Dorn and Price friends, Van Dorn was his superior officer and had included Price in most of the planning for the campaign. More than one of the standing charges could have easily been leveled at “Pap” Price, yet here he was, both judge and witness, without a thought given to recusing himself.

Predictably, Price’s testimony painted his friend in fairly glowing terms and pointed the finger of blame at Maj. Gen. Mansfield Lovell, one of the three division officers present during the battle and the eventual scapegoat for the defeat.

As if to ensure there wasn’t a shred of credibility left in the case, Gen. Maury, another of the judges, was called to testify. Maury had been Van Dorn’s chief-of-staff during the Siege of Corinth and had been friends with him since they had been young U.S. officers together during the Mexican War. It may come as a shock to learn he also spoke well of his friend and testified that not only was Van Dorn sober during the battle, Maury had never seen him take a drink in his life.

There were several other witnesses to be sworn in and the testimony went on for a week. It could have been concluded in a matter of minutes if all the legal stuff hadn’t gotten in the way.

At long last, Gen. Van Dorn took the stand and read a lengthy statement giving his version of the battle. There were no questions raised by the defense and the prosecution didn’t even bother to get out of his chair.

The trial was over.

The officers of the court reported they were “unanimously of the opinion that the evidence before it fully disproves every allegation contained in said charges and specifications.”

The Department Commander, Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton, slapped his seal of approval on the findings and the court was dissolved.

The findings came as a surprise to no one. Pemberton had stacked the court in Van Dorn’s favor and Gen. Bowen, perhaps the finest combat officer in the Confederacy, was made to look petty and foolish.

One thing the court could not white-wash, however, was Van Dorn’s image in the court of public approval. “Buck” had been soundly defeated in two battles and the people were clamoring for his dismissal.

Pemberton had already

replaced him as commander of the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana but that wasn’t enough, the people wanted him thrown out of the army.

Luckily for the Confederacy, President Davis ignored the complaints and kept Van Dorn in uniform. Four weeks later, his leniency was rewarded when Van Dorn led the brilliant and devastating cavalry raid against Gen. Grant’s supply depot at Holly Springs. Overnight “Buck” was the toast of the Confederacy and all was forgiven.

In the end the court martial was less like Tom Cruise demanding the truth and more like the Marx Brothers in Duck Soup.

We can’t end this story without asking the question: Was Van Dorn actually guilty of the charges?

Different historians have different answers.

As for me, I think I’ve made it pretty obvious I believe the trial was a sham, though some of the charges were valid and others were rather farfetched. I’ll leave you with a final question.

If Gen. Pemberton believed Van Dorn to be innocent, why did he stack the court to guarantee an acquittal?

Rhine was ‘Biggest Tale Teller’ in Tishomingo County Harry Mortimer Rhine, Sr., son of Luther Mortimer Rhine and Victoria Hoyle Rhine, was born March 23, 1883, in Texas.

He was orphaned at about 10 years of age and reared by his maternal grandparents, Phillip R. and Ellen Hoyle. He had a gift for speaking that possibly came from the fact that his grandfather was a minister of the gospel.

At an early age, he developed an interest in politics and storytelling, and by the time of his death in 1962, Rhine had the unri-

valed “distinction” of being known as the “Biggest Liar in TishoRaNae m i n g o Vaughn County.”

It is said by those who knew him that he could tell one story after another for hours on end without any indication whatsoever that the words he spoke were anything less than the gospel truth.

Those who struggled as children to get close enough to listen to his nonsensical tales now relate them to their children and grandchildren.

Some of those who knew Rhine best contend his dubious honor of being known as the “Biggest Tale Teller in Tishomingo County” was undeserved; that he was never caught telling a falsehood, and if any of his descriptions of his experiences were untrue, no one ever did prove it.

Certainly there were

many who doubted his veracity, but the final determination of his guilt or innocence will rest with the reader of these tales.

Angler gets satisfaction in making crappie jigs Good fortune comes to those who pour themselves into their work.

Danny Wilson of Corinth is one angler who leaves nothing to chance.

S i t ting in his usual spot on a bar David stool with kitchGreen the en countertop as Outdoors his work space illuminated by the chandelier above as he usually does at this time of year, Danny handcrafts his own version of jigs to use in crappie fishing.

Crafted to imitate baitfish, these strike provoking lures are created one

at a time. The whole process is time consuming, but he considers it as time well spent. Thousands upon thousands of jigs made later, he’s still enjoying the satisfaction of his handywork.

“I’ve fished all my life, and it feels good to make something that would catch a fish, then actually go out and do it.” Wilson said. “I started making jigs several years ago when my little brother and I got into crappie fishing in a big way. It’s something I still enjoy doing, plus it gives me added satisfaction when I’m catching fish.”

The making of hair jigs is Danny’s specialty. Molten lead is poured into a mold with the hooks positioned in a certain way.

When the lead cools and

“I started making jigs several years ago when my little brother and I got into crappie fishing in a big way. It’s something I still enjoy doing, plus it gives me added satisfaction when I’m catching fish.”

Danny Wilson Corinth angler becomes hardened, then the painting process of the jig heads begins. The tying on of hair with colored thread after about 12 hours of drying time completes the process.

Danny takes his jig making process a step further than most others would. After the 12 hours of drying time, he takes a

utility knife and scrapes away the paint from the eyelets. He says it’s a lot easier to remove the paint while it’s still fresh than it is when it’s allowed to set up and become hardened.

“I make jigs to use for myself, but I also make for the public, and it gives me great satisfaction when customers give

positive feedback about the jigs they’ve gotten from me,” noted Wilson.

“Fishermen really like the jigs with the eyes already cleaned out. Since they don’t have to do it themselves, they can concentrate more of their time on fishing.”

There’s another feature about his jigs that differ from others. Most crappie hair jigs have a lot of fluff with very little flare. His jigs are right the opposite.

He uses about half the hair you would normally see in a crappie jig and makes the tie extra tight.

“Making the tie tight gives a jig more flare and makes the lure more enticing,” said Wilson. “A lot of hair on a jig is not essential for catching crappie.”

Danny gets satisfaction

in making crappie jigs for himself, but he also enjoys supplying the needs of other fishermen. He says it thrills him just as much to hear about others making good catches with his jigs.

Good sport hunting to crow about continues through Tuesday

BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Columnist

Crow season will continue through Tuesday.

Crow hunting is an often overlooked and fun sport and there is no limit to the number one can shoot. Although it is not the most popular form of hunting, there is no shortage of crows to hunt.

The first time I went crow hunting was with Jody Gee near Carrollton several years ago. In our hunting party were real people like Lightpole, Mrs. Tutle and Hootie Ray and Fat Cat – all true Carroll County crow hunters.

Crows may not be the

first species on your list of hunting options, but the hunting of crows is very exciting and it is an activity that not many Mississippi hunters participate in. It also helps control a bird that presents a problem to many farmers. I remember my grandfather purchased a Remington 1100 and buckshot just to help keep crows out of his corn fields and chicken yard. Crows in most parts of Mississippi could certainly use a bit of thinning.

Crows are in the category of predators and have been such for many years. Long ago, King Henry VII placed a boun-

Crows may not be the first species on your list of hunting options, but the hunting of crows is very exciting and it is an activity that not many Mississippi hunters participate in. ty on crows. Crows gather in such numbers that they cause great problems in the form of noise and feces. For example, in 1937, 26,000 crows were killed on a roost in Oklahoma.

In 1940, 328,000 of them were killed on roosts throughout the state of Illinois.

Scaring crows with bird scare devices and hunting

are the main methods of crow dispersal. Bird scare devices such as propane cannons and roost dispersal guns are the main types of non-lethal methods of control.

Regarding hunting, which is the most effective control mechanism, it is through the use of decoys and calls. The first step is to locate a good

area through scouting. If it is not your land, be sure to get permission from the landowner. The best decoy is a great-horned owl since crows hate owls. Set the owl in a visible location, such as on the edge of a field near a thicket. Some people recommend using 10 to 15 crow decoys.

While wearing good camouflage clothing, hide in the thicket and then use a crow call or tape to call the crows. If any crows are within hearing distance, they will quickly come and will often land in the decoys. The first crow is a scout and it is important to take it first.

If that bird is not killed, probably no more crows will be taken.

The best time is almost any time except mid-day.

I often hunt them after deer hunting, but usually in a different location so I don’t spook deer for the afternoon hunt. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon are usually the best times.

Engagement

The smooth sounds and close harmonies of the 1950s return to the Blue Mountain College stage with the production of the musical comedy “Forever Plaid,” Feb. 26 through March 2. Members of the four-man group are Daniel Eli Rodgers of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., Zac Gooch of Corinth, Troy Hudson of Tupelo and Riley Bennett of Ripley.

BMC thespians to present ‘Plaid’ Special to the Daily Corinthian

BLUE MOUNTAIN — Theatre patrons will find it hard to sit still when Blue Mountain College presents “Forever Plaid,” Feb. 26-March 2.

The smooth sounds and close harmony of allmale groups of the 1950s come alive in the musical comedy scheduled for seven performances: 7:30 p.m. shows on Feb. 26, Feb. 28, March 1, March 2; 9:30 a.m.; 9:30 a.m. matinees on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28; and a 1 p.m. matinee on March 1.

Tickets for the evening performances are $7 for adults and $5 for stu-

dents and children, and all matinee tickets are $5. All performances are in Garrett Auditorium.

Forever Plaid includes such songs as “Three Coins in the Fountain”; “Moments to Remember”; “Crazy ’Bout Ya, Baby”; “Sixteen Tons”; “Chain Gang”; “Perfidia”; “Heart and Soul”; “Lady of Spain”; and “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.”

“This will be a very entertaining evening,” said director Jim Andre, and associate professor of speech and theatre at BMC. “It will bring back a lot of memories for, shall we say, folks of a certain

age, and the younger audiences will be exposed to some songs and a type of singing they’ve probably never heard before. . . . And the show is really funny.”

BMC’s all-male group is comprised of Daniel Eli Rodgers (Frankie), a junior from Lawrenceburg, Tenn.; Zac Gooch (Jinx), a sophomore from Corinth; Riley Bennett (Smudge), a sophomore from Ripley; and Troy Hudson (Sparky), a freshman from Tupelo.

“This has really been a learning experience for them,” Andre said. “They sound really good togeth-

er and they’ve worked very hard on their comedy. People will be impressed when they hear that harmony.”

Dr. Jerri Lamar Kantack is the musical director and Anna Rainey Miller, a sophomore from Clinton, is the choreographer.

Andre pointed out that “Forever Plaid” is a 90-minute show with no intermission.

“But it does include a performance of an entire ‘Ed Sullivan Show’ in three minutes and 11 seconds,” he added. “It doesn’t get much better than that.”

Tips to help couples plan financial future Special to the Daily Corinthian

(StatePoint) Experts say that with good communication and solid planning, couples can put themselves in a position to build a solid financial future together.

“American couples across all demographics need to spend time talking about financial and retirement issues sooner rather than later,” says Tim Johnson, chief investment strategist for Lincoln Financial Network. “A couple should literally ask each other, ‘What are we really trying to accomplish here and what do you want out of this whole thing?’”

As part of an ongoing effort to educate consumers about financial preparedness, Lincoln Financial recently launched a set of tips and actionable steps designed to help people achieve financial well-being: ■ Plan with purpose: When reviewing investments and solutions that can help grow and protect wealth, couples need to have a shared plan and an understanding of what’s important.

Remember, the conversation doesn’t have to be all budgets and numbers. You can engage your loved one by talk-

“A couple should literally ask each other, ‘What are we really trying to accomplish here and what do you want out of this whole thing?’”

Tim Johnson Chief investment strategist, Lincoln Financial Network ing about goals, such as a wedding, vacations and homeownership.

■ Be engaged, no matter what: Don’t throw your hands up at uncertain economic conditions. The market has always gone up and down.

Volatility is just part of investing. So rather than toss account statements into a pile of unopened mail, identify what’s working well and build on it. For what’s not working well, rebalance portfolios, as necessary.

You can stay motivated as a couple by celebrating small steps along the way. Be sure to reward yourself responsibly when something good happens.

■ Communicate: Each person in the relationship has an opportunity to take steps, both large and small, that help achieve short- and longterm financial goals. But

MacFarlane aims to perk up stodgy Oscars

BY DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — You think the Academy Awards are boring? Try the nominations. They only last a few minutes, but it’s generally a sleepy academy suit and a sleepy starlet droning a list of names at 5:30 in the morning.

Except last time. Some baby-faced guy took the stage, advised people who don’t know him to pretend he’s Donny Osmond, then stood beside sleepy starlet Emma Stone and cut loose with this line about best-picture nominee “Amour”: “I read ‘Amour’ was coproduced in Austria and Germany, right? The last time Austria and Germany got together and co-produced something, it was Hitler.”

For good or bad, Oscar host Seth MacFarlane already has enlivened the awards scene. As emcee of a broadcast notorious for its predictability and geezer audience, MacFar-

lane may bring a cheekiness that prods younger viewers to check out the Oscars just to see what he might pull. But given his Hitler wisecrack, just how far will MacFarlane push it?

“It’s a balance between not being completely dismissive of the ceremony, but at the same time, injecting a little bit of a lighter sensibility than maybe we’ve seen in the past,” said MacFarlane, the impudent creator of “Family Guy” and last summer’s potty-mouthed blockbuster “Ted.” “The Oscars does have a history of taking itself so deadly seriously.

And while it obviously is a ceremony that’s important to the people involved, you know we’re not curing cancer here. So if there’s any subtle reminder that I’ll try to inject into the show tonally, it would be that.”

The most-beloved Oscar hosts — Billy Crystal, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope — are those who play it safe while manag-

Cryptoquip

ing to poke gentle fun at Hollywood, the awards and the nominees. With TV ratings generally declining over the last few decades, Oscar overseers have tried shaking things up, trying out new hosts and different ways of handing out prizes.

The results have been mixed. Jon Stewart and Ellen DeGeneres earned polite praise as Oscar hosts. Chris Rock ruffled feathers with a few tart jabs but was mostly respectful. Hugh Jackman was charming and energetic, while Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were an able team as dual hosts.

Another duo, Anne Hathaway and James Franco, were brought in two years ago to court young viewers. Hathaway was cute and perky, but Franco seemed to sleepwalk through the show. So last year, Oscar organizers lured back old stand-by Crystal, the most-popular among recent hosts.

The show’s audience has inched up from its all-

time low five years ago, when 32 million people watched the Oscars. But ratings remain well below the Oscar heyday of decades ago, and no matter who’s the host, the show has never been able to shed its image as a marathon broadcast where rich and famous people hand out trophies to other rich and famous people.

Enter MacFarlane, who’s not just a funny guy but a gifted singer, with a Frank Sinatra-style album of standards to his credit.

“What I’m hoping for — like everybody else, the other billion people watching — is just that it’s the best show of all time and he’s the greatest host ever to have lived,” said former emcee Jackman, a best-actor nominee for “Les Miserables.” “He’s going to nail it. I think he’s very funny.”

Not everyone’s looking forward to a Seth-fest Oscars.

“I’m not that big a fan of his,” said Alan Arkin, a

supporting-actor winner for “Little Miss Sunshine” who’s nominated in the same category this time for “Argo.” “I find him a little crude, more crude than necessary.”

MacFarlane gave a taste of things to come Jan. 10, when he became just the second Oscar host to join the nominations announcement (Charlton Heston was the first, for the 1972 show).

His early-morning shtick lasted just 10 minutes, but it brought a backlash from people wondering what sort of show might be expected from a guy whose chubby cartoon hero on “Family Guy” once was forced to strip off his shirt and moo like a cow while a woman pretended to milk his man-breasts.

The Hitler joke aside, critics said MacFarlane disparaged women with a comment that supportingactress nominees no longer had to pretend they’re attracted to Oscar kingpin Harvey Weinstein; be-

littled writers by saying adapted-screenplay contenders just cut-and-pasted from their source material; and slammed the directing picks as the “five people who are the very best at sitting in a chair watching other people make a movie.”

Edgy or insulting?

Some feel it’s just the jolt the stodgy Oscars need to get younger, hipper fans — the key audience for Hollywood films — to tune in.

“The Oscars still remain the pinnacle of artistic achievement in film, and I think it will always be that,” said Jim Gianopulos, studio chairman at 20th Century Fox, whose Fox network airs “Family Guy” and MacFarlane’s other animated series, “American Dad” and “The Cleveland Show.” “At the same time, I think it needs to be able to have a certain level of irreverence to be culturally relatable at this point, and I think Seth is the absolute perfect host to bring that.”

Review: ‘Snitch’ a well-made yarn chronicling drug world

BY TODD MCCARTHY The Hollywood Reporter

LOS ANGELES — Although it sometimes accompanies fine films such as “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Argo,” the phrase “inspired by a true story” tacked onto the front of a movie too often warns you that you’re about to see something “inspiring” in the most hackneyed, triumph-of-the-humanspirit sort of way.

What’s surprising about “Snitch” is that, rather than taking the reductive path of offering innocuous emotional uplift or one-man-army action, it generates a feeling of real desperation and fear as it shows a man getting in way over his head when he takes on some very bad guys. In other words, this is a pretty good film starring an actor named Dwayne Johnson, not a commodity with The Rock as a hood ornament.

Summit’s main commercial hopes still rest with the mainstream action crowd — which likely will be satisfied despite the film’s refusal to dish out doses of bodily harm like clockwork — but for Johnson, this could broaden the perception of the sorts of roles he can play as he pushes into his 40s.

Directed with intensity by longtime stuntman Ric Roman Waugh (“Felon”), “Snitch” takes its dramatic opportunities seriously and not just as an excuse for brutal confrontations between drug dealers and assorted thugs. The “inspiring” part lies in the fact that a father, John Matthews (Johnson), is willing to go to the absolute limit to prevent his teenage son Jason (Rafi Gavron) from serving 10 years in prison under mandatory-sentencing laws for having made one stupid mistake. The involving part is how he goes about it: getting entangled with some very unsavory characters while trying to preserve a vestige of his morality and remain alive.

Inspired by a “Frontline” report about an aspect of the law that allows for reduced time in exchange for informing on drug dealers, the script

by Justin Haythe (“Revolutionary Road,” “The Clearing”) and Waugh follows a familiar-feeling template but goes deep enough with character detail and legal issues to set it apart from standardissue drug- and crimerelated films. Jason gets sent away for ill-advisedly

Never removing his shirt, Dwayne Johnson behaves within a narrow range but is engagingly distressed and stalwart in equal measure, conveying sufficient feeling and subtext to suggest the actor could be entrusted with greater dramatic challenges in the future. accepting delivery of a box full of Ecstasy as a sort-of favor for a friend and also in order to try it with his girlfriend.

Unwilling to rat his buddy out, the terrified, physically unprepossessing Jason is tossed into the pen, where he’ll be as defenseless as a rabbit in a foxhole. His resentful mother (Melina Kanakaredes) lashes out at John, her ex, while the only solution offered by politically hungry U.S. Attorney Joanne Keeghan (Susan Sarandon) is for Jason to offer evidence against some other drug dealer, but he truly doesn’t have any.

The biggest dramatic leap the film imposes is that John, a straightarrow guy who runs a shipping company but suffers guilt over having been a deficient dad postdivorce, would conceive of and then persuade the attorney to accept a plan under which he himself would deliver drug dealers to her in exchange for his son’s freedom.

Keeghan expresses the same dubiousness the audience might feel, but once John gets the green light, you can feel the sweat and inner turmoil begin to simmer, as he’s no better-suited than Homer Simpson to figure out how to go about this. John’s formidable physique and straightshooter personality might serve him well in most situations, but they have little bearing given his new challenges.

Reluctantly, John leans on one of his employees who has done time, Daniel Cruz (Jon Bernthal), to point him in the right direction — a wrenching decision in that the man, who has a son of his own, is trying to stay straight.

But John finally gets entree to dealer Malik (a terrific Michael Kenneth Williams), a two-time loser who, after some tense testing, agrees to use him on an out-of-state drug run.

The first big action scene doesn’t arrive until an hour in, at which point the stakes grow much

higher with the involvement of a U.S. branch of a Mexican drug cartel run by the cool Juan Carlos (Benjamin Bratt).

With her congressional race heating up, the idea of bringing down such a big dog excites Keeghan to no end but puts John and Daniel in untenable positions, leading to some tough choices for both men. The danger they face feels real, as does their angst over moral compromises, and the film climaxes in a wellstaged chase involving John’s 18-wheel big rig that presumably draws upon the director’s stunt experience in achieving such old-school, real-deal power.

Unusual for this sort of thing, “Snitch” is a film after which you remember the characters and actors more than the big action moments. Never removing his shirt, Johnson behaves within a narrow range but is engagingly distressed and stalwart in equal measure, conveying sufficient feeling and subtext to suggest the actor could be entrusted with greater dramatic challenges in the future.

Bernthal (“The Walking Dead”) strongly puts over a conflicted man pushed into a terribly precarious position, and Barry Pepper keeps you guessing as a hipster-looking undercover cop. Sarandon’s ambitious crime-buster remains unfortunately one-dimensional.

Waugh and sharp-eyed cinematographer Dana Gonzales keep their framing quite tight, which amplifies the actors’ work but, more ambiguously, keeps you worried about what might be going on outside the field of view.

A very large contribution is made by Brazilian composer Antonio Pinto (“City of God,” “Senna,” “Get the Gringo”), whose eerie, ever-hovering electronic score gathers cumulative force to greatly amplify the story’s power.

“Snitch,” a Lionsgate/ Summit release, is rated PG-13 for drug content and sequences of violence. 112 minutes.
