Corinth man faces kidnapping charge

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth police say a woman was briefly kidnapped after confronting a man who stole something from her vehicle in a store parking lot.

Joseph Doug Tapp, 32, of County Road 416, Corinth, was charged with kidnapping

and a misdemeanor charge of petty larceny. Bond was set at $10,000.

Detective Capt. Ralph Dance said it happened on Saturday in the area of the Dollar Tree store at 2113 South Harper Road, where witnesses reported they had seen Tapp looking into the windows of vehicles in the

parking lot.

The woman apparently confronted the man after he took some tools out of the back of her pickup.

“He pushed her into his vehicle and got in and drove off with her,” said Dance. “He drove around to the back of the Walmart store. She was trying

to get out, and he pushed her out of the vehicle.”

The driver also tossed the tools out of the vehicle and got out and unhooked a trailer from the rear, leaving it there.

Officers Ben Moore and Tim Lancaster apprehended a suspect a short time later.

The victim was not injured

and the stolen tools were returned.

Dance said Tapp was out on bond for a prior felony charge of burglary of a vehicle.

Although she was abducted for a only a short period of time, Dance said it is considered kidnapping because the woman was held against her will.

County supervisors are close to making a move to the old Alcorn County Jail.

It appears renovations will be complete in time for the board to hold its first meeting in the building on March 18, with the moving process for furnishings and the financial staff beginning during the prior week, according to Supervisor Dal Nelms, who is overseeing the construction work.

An open house for the facility will be scheduled.

That means the board’s final meeting in the Alcorn Chancery Building will likely be this coming Monday. Supervisors have met upstairs in the Chancery Building since July 1990 following renovation of the former bank building.

Exterior painting and finishing of the old jail on Fulton Drive is mostly complete.

Landscaping is planned and the parking lot will be resealed.

Floors have been stripped to the concrete, which is awaiting its finish. The floors will remain finished concrete so that cleanup will be easier if water ever enters the building during flooding.

Classic ’72 musical comes to life

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth High School production of “Grease” takes the stage on Thursday.

A cast of 82 students will bring the classic 1972 musical to life beginning at 7 p.m. in the CHS Auditorium.

Directing such a large group of high school actors presents a range of special challenges, said theater instructor Kelly Treadway.

“It takes a lot of planning and knowing the kids. You have to be able to know the kids and the craft. It takes a lot to keep their

interest in this Xbox age,” said Treadway. “I’ve been planning parts and organizing parts since November, and we’ve casted some people into roles they created for themselves.”

“Grease” was the first production of CHS theater students at the new school 20 years ago.

Local Girl Scouts set up booths for cookie sales

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Local Girl Scouts cookie booth sales are off to a good start this year.

“In Alcorn County it’s going really well this year,” said Membership Manager Rhonda Tennyson.

Total sales for last year were 22,690 boxes. This year, with three weeks to go, 22,291 boxes have already been sold.

Locally the most popular cookies are Samoas, Tennyson said. Nationally, cookie buyers prefer Thin Mints.

Booth sales began last weekend and will continue for three more weeks. Local Girl Scouts Cookie Booths are located at Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Gardner’s Supermarket, Roger’s Supermarket, Kroger, Raceway, The Slugburger Cafe and Belk.

The Girls Scouts also offer the option of purchases going to the Troop to Troop program, in which cookies can be bought and sent to members of the armed forces serving overseas.

McNairy County Grand Jury hands down indictments

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2013. There are 307 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 27, 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire as justification for suspending civil liberties.

On this date: In 1801, the District of Columbia was placed under the jurisdiction of Congress.

In 1911, inventor Charles F. Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter in Detroit by starting a Cadillac’s motor with just the press of a switch, instead of hand-cranking.

In 1913, author and playwright Irwin Shaw (“Rich Man, Poor Man�) was born in New York.

In 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote.

In 1939, the Supreme Court, in National Labor Relations Board v. Fansteel Metallurgical Corp., outlawed sit-down strikes.

In 1943, during World War II, Norwegian commandos launched a raid to sabotage a German-operated heavy water plant in Norway. The U.S. government began circulating one-cent coins made of steel plated with zinc (the steel pennies proved very unpopular, since they were easily mistaken for dimes).

In 1951, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a president to two terms of office, was ratified.

In 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets, 3-2, at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)

In 1968, at the conclusion of a CBS News special report on the Vietnam War, Walter Cronkite delivered a commentary in which he said the conflict appeared “mired in stalemate.�

In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children.

(The occupation lasted until May.) In 1982, Wayne Williams was found guilty of murdering two of the 28 young blacks whose bodies were found in the Atlanta area over a 22-month period. (Williams, who was also blamed for 22 other deaths, has maintained his innocence.)

In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, President George H.W. Bush declared that “Kuwait is liberated, Iraq’s army is defeated,� and announced that the allies would suspend combat operations at midnight, Eastern time.

Ten years ago: The Bush administration lowered the national terror alert from orange to yellow. Iraq agreed in principle to destroy its Al Samoud II missiles, two days before a U.N. deadline. Former Bosnian Serb leader Biljana Plavsic was sentenced by the U.N. tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, to eleven years in prison.

BY CHARLIE SPEARMAN NPS Ranger

Slavery in the United States existed as a legal institution from the early years of the colonial period and was firmly established by the time the United States sought independence in 1776.

Although some thought it would die out, slavery gained new life in the South with the cotton industry after 1800, and expanded into the Southwest (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas). By 1860 the United States had become polarized between slave states and free states. Many Southerners felt that attempts at compromise had failed and the institution was threatened.

By 1860 the slave population was nearly 4 million, making the ratio of free to enslaved Ameri-

cans approximately 7:1.

Many Southerners were unhappy when Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 and they considered the election a threat to slavery, and began to think about the possibility of leaving the Union.

Southern politicians in 1861 made it clear that slavery was the cause for which they seceded. The Mississippi secession convention claimed, “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery.�

The new Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens said that slavery was the cornerstone on which the new government was established.

In spite of Southern fears, Lincoln did not call for the abolition of

Corinth, Miss.

Letters to the editor

Why is US Hwy. 72 property being ignored?

To the editor: After each meeting of the Corinth Mayor and Board of Aldermen, I watch the Daily Corinthian to see what new efforts are being made to clean up our town. On a regular basis some area, usually on Wick, Tate, Droke or Polk streets, faces the scrutiny of our city fathers and is ordered cleaned up.

Few of us can argue with the fact that the areas named by the city need cleaning.

However, one thing continues to amaze me about this process and that is why the city chooses to turn a blind eye to property on U.S. Hwy. 72 west.

Just west of Tate (old Hwy. 45) a lot full of old equipment, used metal and junk lines the highway. Have you ever heard this property discussed for possible cleanup? The answer is “NO,” yet it has looked like this for years.

The building next to the Moses building is lined with junk and in need of cleanup and repair, but again this property is never mentioned in any cleanup proposal.

U.S. Hwy. 72 is the access corridor to Corinth used by many prospective business and industry owners and tourists. What kind of an impression does this section of highway leave on them?

If our city officials really want to improve the way Corinth looks and make Corinth more appealing aesthetically, why not address the eyesores that have the highest visibility?

While I would hope this letter might prod the Mayor and Board of Alderman to take some action, I am not going to bet the farm on it.

The mentally ill are fighting to be heard To the editor: What if you were so stressed you wanted to scream, but had nowhere to scream? You had no voice. This is how we feel as individuals in our Meridian Connection group. The group is where persons with a mental illness can come for support.

We have legitimate mental health care concerns to deal with every day. But now the Mississippi Division of Medicaid is expanding managed care (MSCANS) to include mental health services. This means the managed care system removes decision making power from psychiatrists, patients, and family members — placing the power in the hands of managed care companies who typically profit by trimming mental health services by use of prior authorizations.

DOM is also cutting costs by closing “clubhouses,” places where mentally ill persons can go to “scream” instead of hurting themselves or others. MSCANS wants people on certain medications to cut their dose in half.

Other programs for the mentally ill are being cut, too.

The Connection groups will still go on, because they are part of N.A.M.I. (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and we will continue to fight.

Let your voice be heard — tell your legislators to reverse the mental health care portion of HB-421.

Sen. Hob Bryan effective in Democratic minority

BY JEFF AMY JACKSON — There’s no such title as minority leader in the Mississippi Senate.

“We’re too disorganized,” jokes Sen. Hob Bryan.

But the Amory Democrat can be considered his party’s Senate chief, anyway.

Bryan has been leading the Senate effort to expand Medicaid under the 2010 federal health care law, and he managed to get a bill out of the chamber that at least kept that possibility open.

Of course, House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, had the bill killed in the Rules Committee, leaving lawmakers without an obvious way to reauthorize Medicaid. The state law governing the federal-state insurance program expires June 30, although some say Gov. Phil Bryant could run it by executive order.

Bryan, an attorney, is the second longest-serving senator, his 30 years trailing only Biloxi Republican Tommy Gollott’s 46-year legislative tenure. Bryan attributes his effectiveness not to partisanship, but to its opposite, saying Republicans were so scarce that

party mattered little when he first arrived in Jackson.

“In my ideal world, the Senate would operate on a nonpartisan basis and to the extent we have remnants of that, I think we should preserve that,” Bryan said. “I would like very much for legislators to think for themselves. I think it’s counterproductive if every single vote is seen as a partisan issue.”

His Medicaid push has been tolerated by Republicans, including Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee Chairman Dean Kirby, R-Pearl.

“I’m certainly not going to do anything as a subcommittee chair that Senator Kirby is telling me not to do” Bryan said.

On the other hand, Bryan spoke against Sen. John Horhn’s attempt in committee to amend the Senate Medicaid bill to expand it, telling the Jackson Democrat that the time wasn’t right.

Bryan has threaded the Medicaid needle with only 20 Democrats in what’s currently a 51-member Senate.

A vacant seat held by the

late Sen. Alice Harden, a Jackson Democrat, is likely to be filled by a Democrat after a Tuesday runoff.

Even with 21 members, Democrats are deep in the minority. On tax legislation that requires a three-fifths vote, they can only defeat it if they all stick together.

Strangely, being far outnumbered may make Bryan more effective, because Democrats are less a threat.

In the House, with its narrower gap, Democrats seem to have less sway.

“The House Democrats feel like they have nothing to lose,” Bryan said.

That may contribute to the House’s fractious atmosphere, although it has traditionally had a more pugnacious culture than the Senate.

Maybe more important for Bryan is that Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves decided he wasn’t going to treat Democrats like potted plants when he took office in January 2012.

That’s in part because Reeves faced a factional divide between senators who supported him for lieutenant governor in the GOP

primary and those who supported then-Sen. Billy Hewes of Gulfport, a Bryant ally.

Bryan says his interactions with Reeves are “frank and straightforward and basically friendly.”

In part because Reeves named Democrats to run a number of committees, he has won at least a modicum of cooperation. That doesn’t mean that Bryan isn’t loudly opposing charter schools or business tax breaks. But because top Democrats aren’t frozen out, they’re not out fighting Reeves at every moment.

In exchange, Senate Democrats occasionally get something they want. That can be seen not only in Bryan’s efforts on Medicaid. For example, the upper chamber has backed an effort by Senate Public Property Committee Chairman David Blount, D-Jackson, to move the state Department of Revenue to downtown Jackson, even while Gunn is trying to keep the tax collection agency in Clinton.

(Jeff Amy is writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Top-tier benefits soaking up knowledge No springtime ritual was better at Auburn than sitting on hard rocks at a nearby state park to let cold water rush over your feet.

You wore cut-off blue jeans and Dr. Scholl’s sandals, the unofficial uniform for coeds in the 1970s, and when you left, you felt ready to tackle tests, term papers and blind dates.

The state park is still there. The water is still rushing. But evidently that’s not enough to relax today’s Auburn students.

This spring at Auburn a new 240,000-square-foot recreation and fitness center will open so students and faculty can stay well and fit.

The building will include a 50-foot rock-climbing wall “with an auto-belaying system,” whatever that is, “four bordering caves for lateral climbing, a 20-foot wet rock climbing wall in the 20,000 gallon leisure activity pool, a 45-person hot tub in the shape of a tiger paw and a third of a mile indoor track with a corkscrew formation

The track reportedly will be the longest inRheta door track in Johnson the country.

In the counColumnist try.

There will be floors for dancing, cycling, “core training” and a five-floor tower with “a gorgeous view of Auburn” at the top. You can pump iron or dance the Zumba.

Did I mention that the new recreation and wellness center will be “green,” “a sustainable building that decreases Auburn’s carbon footprint?” You wouldn’t want wellness and recreation to be offset by a huge carbon footprint.

In my day you went to the rooftop of Haley Center if you wanted a gorgeous view of Auburn. I guess you could have walked the stairway up the nine floors if you wanted exercise. Everyone I knew rode the elevator be-

cause most of us didn’t have cars and were tired from walking all day.

We also rode bikes, but we didn’t call it “cycling.” Our brand of biking didn’t need its own floor in a building. We danced, but not in a wellness center, more often in a frat house with a beverage in our hand. If we wanted to climb rocks, they were the ones at the aforementioned state park. We sometimes jogged at the Coliseum, but more often just ran to and from classes.

From what I’ve noticed on recent visits to campus, in my day we were as fit as today’s students without benefit of all the recreational frills.

“You’ll forgive me,” an Auburn professor emailed his department colleagues, “when in future meetings I just blurt out ‘45-person hot tub in the shape of a tiger paw’ when the next round of budget cuts or library cancellations is announced.”

A campus marketing spokesman saw it differ-

ently. “The students voiced a major concern that they wanted to have a top-tier facility. They see their friends at other universities having that. They wanted the same amenities and features that are at other institutions.”

Well, by all means. You wouldn’t want some other Alabama university or Louisiana campus or Georgia college getting a bigger hot tub or longer track or better view than Auburn gets.

This way, when Auburn students leave campus, they will be fit to climb rocks, Zumba, cycle or run. And if Auburn graduates haven’t learned as much as, say, graduates of Princeton or Bucks County School of Beauty Culture, at least they’ll be well and rested up.

Boat sinking report possible hoax SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — The Pacific Ocean either swallowed an adventurous couple and two young children aboard a sailboat off the Monterey coast this week, or someone played a cruel hoax that wasted Coast Guard resources and tugged at the hearts of coastal residents over two days of desperate searching.

The Coast Guard on Tuesday called off the search for a boat that reportedly sank in rough seas far off the Central California coast, saying nothing more could be done and that the family’s distress calls might have been a hoax.

“We’ve exhausted the possibilities,” Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Mike Lutz said. The Coast Guard is treating the incident as a rescue, with the possibility the calls came from a trickster. Neither the family nor the boat has been reported missing.

Crews have been looking for the family by sea and air since receiving their first distress call Sunday afternoon when the boaters said their 29-foot sailboat was taking on water and their electronics were failing.

The boat had no working GPS system, but investigators used its radio signal and radar to determine the call came from an area about 60 miles west of Monterey, where strong winter winds, cold water and big swells made for perilous conditions. Forecasters had issued a weekend advisory warning boaters of rough seas in the area.

An hour later, the family members reported they had to abandon the boat and were trying to tie together a makeshift life raft out of a cooler and life-preserver ring, a method taught in survival classes. The Coast Guard then lost radio

contact with the boat, which the agency said might have been called the “Charmblow.”

Investigators determined from the broken distress calls that the family included a husband and wife, their 4-year-old son and his cousin, Coast Guard Lt. Heather Lampert has said. But the agency received no reports about a family missing at sea.

On Monday, the Coast Guard released one of the recorded calls in hopes that it would lead to new information from the public that could help in the search.

In the crackling recording, a man’s calm voice is heard saying, “Coast Guard, Coast Guard, we are abandoning ship.

This is the (Charmblow).

We are abandoning ship.”

Obama: No smart way to kick in budget cuts NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — No progress to report in efforts to stave off looming government-wide spending cuts, President Barack Obama on Tuesday singled out for praise the few Republicans who say they’re open to aspects of his approach, seeking to turn up the heat on GOP leaders ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Obama rejected a proposal floated by Senate Republicans to give the president more flexibility to pick and choose which programs should be cut to reach the $85 billion over seven months mandated by the so-called sequester. “There’s no smart way to do that,” he said.

“These cuts are wrong.

They’re not smart, they’re not fair. They’re a self-inflicted wound that doesn’t have to happen,” Obama added at a shipbuilding site in Virginia.

The White House has warned the $85 billion in cuts could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. The cuts would slash domes-

tic and defense spending, leading to forced unpaid days off for hundreds of thousands of workers.

The impact won’t be immediate. Federal workers would be notified next week that they will have to take up to a day every week off without pay, but the furloughs won’t start for a month due to notification requirements. That will give negotiators some breathing room to keep working on a deal.

The sequester was designed as an unpalatable fallback, meant to take effect only if a congressional super-committee failed to come up with at least $1 trillion in savings from benefit programs. Obama wants to replace the sequester with a package of targeted cuts and tax increases, while Republican leaders insist the savings should come from reduced spending alone.

Court conflicted over DNA sampling issue WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday struggled with what one of the justices called its most important criminal procedure case in decades, whether to let police take DNA without a warrant from those arrested in hopes of using it to solve old cases.

Justices seemed conflicted over whether police have a right to take genetic information from people who have only been arrested without getting a judge’s approval first, or if the government’s interest in solving cold cases trumped the immediate privacy rights of those under police suspicion of other crimes.

One justice seemed to make clear what he thought. “I think this is perhaps the most important criminal procedure case that this court has heard in decades,” said Justice Samuel Alito, a former prosecutor.

NASA flight includes crop experiment OXFORD — NASA’s second SpaceX mission to the International Space Station will carry an experiment developed by a University of Mississippi biologist.

The launch is scheduled for Friday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The mission is the second of 12 SpaceX flights contracted by NASA to resupply the space station.

The experiment, by John Z. Kiss, dean of the Ole Miss Graduate School, involves seedling growth.

Kiss, who will be at the launch, said in a news release that the experiment will study light and gravity signaling in plants and their effects on cell growth and proliferation. He said the experiment may lead to improving crop species on Earth to obtain increased production and sustainability.

“Since plants will be a necessary part of bioregenerative life support needed to send humans to Mars and beyond, the knowledge obtained from our space flight experiments will be critical for developing ways to effectively use plants in these life-support systems,” Kiss said.

Kiss is collaborating with F. Javier Medina of Centro de Investigaciones Biolsgicas in Madrid.

The seedlings’ containers will be placed in a large incubator that provides control over the atmosphere, lighting and humidity of growth chambers to study plant growth. The experiment containers contain white, blue and red lights that can be controlled from the ground to expose the plants to different kinds of light.

“The samples will be either frozen or chemically fixed and returned to us,” Kiss said. “Ad-

ditionally, images will be taken throughout the whole experiment and downloaded real time.”

Kiss has worked with NASA since 1987 and has served as principal investigator on six spaceflight projects on the space shuttle, the Russian space station Mir and the International Space Station. This project started in 2011 and was selected through an international competition by competitive peerreview panel and then

by NASA.

Davis accepts life without parole LEAKESVILLE — A Greene County man who had been on death row for 20 years has been resentenced to life in prison without parole.

Jeffrey Keller Davis, 52, was convicted in 1992 of capital murder for shooting and stabbing Linda Hillman.

The Mississippi Supreme Court overturned his death sentence in May, finding that a poor job by his trial attorney may have cost him a chance at life in prison.

District Attorney Tony Lawrence tells The Mississippi Press that a jury had been seated but Davis agreed to a sentenced of life without parole Tuesday after consulting with his attor-

neys and his family.

Court records show Davis told investigators that he killed Hillman at her trailer in Greene County in 1991 after she refused to give him money to buy drugs.

Jail authorities foil contraband plot MERIDIAN — Five people, including two inmates, have been arrested on charges related to attempting to sneak contraband in to the Lauderdale County jail.

Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun says the five were trying to bring marijuana, tobacco or other items into the jail.

Calhoun says guards were checking the perimeter of the jail on Feb. 14 found a cell window had been pried open and strings lowered over a fence.

Calhoun says those outside were tying items to the strong to hoisted back into the jail.

Calhoun says inmates Darrell Tyler Long and Travis Sullivan and two other adults, Janie Long and Thomas Taylor, were each charged with conspiracy to introduce contraband into a correctional facility.

A 14-year-old was turned over to the youth court.

HISTORY CONTINUED FROM 3A

slavery.

At the beginning of the war, Lincoln prohibited his generals from freeing slaves even in captured territories. Lincoln’s focus was to save the Union and he said, “ If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.”

In Virginia at Fort Monroe, held by Union Gen. Benjamin Butler, slaves working for the Confederate army escaped and came into Union lines.

He said he was under no obligation to return slaves who were working for the Confederates but would hold them as “contraband of war.” Soon more slaves joined them and a “Grand Contraband Camp” was established to provide accommodations for the escaped slaves who served as a labor force for the Union Army.

By the time of the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862 the government’s policy had changed and slaves who had escaped from Confederate owners were no longer returned. The army,

however, was unsure of how to use the escaped slaves; some became laborers, cooks, servants to officers or teamsters.

As northern forces continued occupying portions of the South more escaped slaves reached Union lines and were placed in a series of “Contraband Camps.” Corinth, Mississippi, which came under Union control at the end of May 1862, became the site of one of these camps in the fall of 1862.

Under the supervision of Chaplain James M. Alexander, the Corinth camp grew from a tent city into a small town with houses, schools and a selfsupporting farm that produced a profit. The camp, which eventually housed up to 6,000 inhabitants, came to be considered a model camp.

When Maj. Gen. Lorenzo Thomas, adjutant general of the Union Army, came to visit Corinth in May 1863 he was impressed by the progress and promised to tell President Lincoln about it. Although the camp was abandoned when the Union pulled out of Corinth in January 1864, the site is now preserved as part of the Corinth Unit

of Shiloh National Military Park. Visitors can walk around the grounds and examine commemorative bronze statues portraying the tasks the contraband and their families would have been performing in camp.

One of the statues portrays a member of the 1st Alabama Infantry (African Descent), eventually renamed the 55th United States Colored Troops (USCT) raised from the men of this camp along with portions of other units. (This Park Service Trading Card can be obtained by children at Shiloh or Corinth Interpretive Center by discussing what they learned from this article with a ranger at either facility).

On January 1, 1863, Lincoln issued an Emancipation Proclamation announcing that all slaves in rebellious states were free. With the heavy casualties at battles like Shiloh and Antietam the North began to consider using the men from the contraband camps as soldiers.

Recruitment of Colored regiments began in full force following the Proclamation. African Americans continued to volunteer and helped the North win the war.

Approximately 175 regiments composed of more than 178,000 free blacks and freedmen served during the last two years of the war. By war’s end, the men of the USCT composed nearly one tenth of all Union troops.

The United State Colored Troops were commanded by white officers and were originally paid less than white soldiers.

Many officers, including Gen. Sherman, were opposed to the use of African-Americans as soldiers. In combat, the USCT proved their bravery at various battles including, Fort Wagner, Port Hudson, Milliken’s Bend and Nashville.

The Confederacy had passed a law stating that blacks captured in uniform and their white officers would be tried as slave insurrectionists with a sentence of death.

Those who had been slaves could be returned to slavery. In some cases USCT soldiers were murdered by Confederate troops after or in the act of surrendering.

One soldier who volunteered late in the war was Pvt. Hubbard Pryor.

Hubbard had run away from his master, a unionist from Polk County, Ga.,

to Chattanooga where he joined the 44th US Colored Infantry.

In October 1864, many of the soldiers in the regiment, including Hubbard, were assigned to Garrison Duty near Dalton, Ga. with about 750 men where they were surrounded by a Confederate Army of 40,000 on Oct. 13, 1864. Gen. Hood sent in a demand for unconditional surrender or risk the whole garrison being put to the sword.

The officers requested that their men be treated equally to all prisoners and Hood gave his approval.

Col. Lewis Johnson, commander of the 44th USCT, found that his men were immediately robbed and abused in a terrible manner. “The treatment of the officers of my regiment exceeded anything in brutality I have ever witnessed, and a General Bate distinguished himself especially by meanness and beastly conduct.

“He had my colored soldiers robbed of their shoes and sent them to tear up the railroad track. One of my soldiers who refused was shot on the spot and five others who were sick and were unable to keep up were also shot.”

Pvt. Pryor was taken prisoner and at the end of the war was set free near Griffin, Ga. With no personal possessions he attempted to walk back home. Fearful of reprisal from ex-Confederate soldiers, he traveled at night, eventually reaching a U.S. military post near Rome, Ga. A soldier reported that Pryor walked into camp in “a sick, broken down, naked, and starved condition.”

He returned home and married his sweetheart, a former slave named Ann Deaves. Hubbard and Ann Pryor settled down as farmers and raised four children, three boys and a girl. The family later left Georgia for Texas where Pryor died on Aug. 16, 1890, in Calvert, Texas.

The veterans of the United States Colored Troops, like Pryor, as well as newly freed African Americans became U. S. citizens and established families, businesses, schools and farms after the war.

Their efforts helped to preserve and create the United States we live in today.

dance was better, senators passed the measure, Senate Bill 2901.

Mississippi needs federal approval for any changes to election laws, to ensure that the changes don’t dilute minority voting strength. If the Justice Department rejects the voter ID proposal, as many lawmakers expect, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann could ask federal judges to approve it.

Supporters of voter ID say it will help prevent people from voting under others’ names, while critics say it could disproportionately hurt poor or older residents who are less likely to have a driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification.

Part of Mississippi’s proposal is to provide free ID to people who don’t have one already.

Sen. David Blount, D-Jackson, said the bill was a waste of money because the attorney general is handling voter ID submissions to the federal government.

Republican Hosemann told The Associated

Press that most Mississippians support voter ID. He said senators voting against his budget were showing symbolic opposition.

In the November 2011 election, 62 percent of Mississippi voters approved a proposed constitutional amendment that says each voter must show some sort of photo identification before casting a ballot.

In 2012, the Republicanled Legislature voted to put voter ID into law. But the mandates can’t take effect without federal approval.

private childcare operators who have been critical of some parts of the proposal don’t speak for them.

The House and Senate Education Committees have endorsed separate, though similar measures, and the differences need to be worked out before the plans can go to Gov. Phil Bryant for his consideration.

One main difference is that the Senate bill contains $6 million in state money to pay for classes the first year, while the House bill contains no funding provision.

Child care groups rally for preschool plan

Inmate pleads guilty in state prison riot

JACKSON — A group of preschool operators is adding to the push for state funding to educate 4-year-olds.

Members of the Mississippi Early Childhood Association said at a Tuesday rally at the state Capitol that they support House and Senate proposals to use state money to pay for such classes.

The members say that

JACKSON — An inmate pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in a deadly riot at a prison for illegal immigrants in Mississippi, authorities said.

One guard was killed and 20 people were injured

in the May 20 riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez. The prison holds illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in the U.S. Yoany Oriel SerranoBejarano will be sentenced June 4 at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Natchez.

He faces up to 10 years in prison.

A complaint filed by an FBI agent says prisoners took food service carts out of the dining hall and kitchen and stacked them on top of each other to climb onto the roof where correction officer Catlin Carithers was beaten to death.

“Serrano-Bejarano has been identified as one of the inmates who held the food carts so the inmates could access the roof,” according to the affidavit.

Serrano-Bejarano’s lawyer, Clarence T. “Gup” Guthrie III, said in an email that the statement of facts read in court indicated that “Serrano-Bejarano had a

minor role in the incident, and did not participate in any physical assaults.”

The FBI said in court records that the riot was started by a group of Mexican inmates, known as Paisas, who were angry about what they considered poor food and medical care and disrespectful guards. Paisas are a loosely affiliated group within the prison, without ties to organized gangs, FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden has said.

Several inmates have been charged in the case.

A man indicted last week, Marco Perez-Serrano, has been identified as the first person to attack Carithers when he hit him with a food tray.

The prison holds nearly 2,500 illegal immigrants, most of them convicted on charges of coming back to the U.S. after being deported. The prison is owned

by Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corporation of America.

STATE CONTINUED FROM 5A

Bryant signs bills ratifying settlement JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant has signed bills codifying a settlement between the Public Service Commission and Mississippi Power Co. over the company’s Kemper County power plant.

Bryant told The Associated Press Tuesday he supports both measures.

Tuesday was the last day for Bryant to act without the bills becoming law without his signature.

One measure allows a multi-year rate plan for the plant. Another bill allows the unit of Atlantabased Southern Co. to sell up to $1 billion in bonds to pay Kemper costs over $2.4 billion.

The settlement says Mississippi Power can earn profit on $2.4 billion in plant costs as well as $377 million in lignite mine and pipeline costs.

Customers would repay debt on costs above $2.4 billion, but Mississippi Power would earn no profit.

Senate passes State budget JACKSON — The Mississippi Senate on Tuesday approved $695,000 for the secretary of state to defend a proposed voter identification law, and the budget bill moves on to the House for more work.

The secretary of state’s overall $13 million budget for fiscal 2014 was rejected last week, but several senators were out of the chamber at the time.

Dark clouds?

The earnings outlook for corporate America suddenly doesn’t look so great.

More companies than usual are advising investors to lower their expectations for the first quarter. And financial analysts are listening: Their forecasts for earnings growth have fallen steadily and now average 0.7 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ. At the beginning of the year, analysts expected earnings to grow almost 3.7 percent in the first quarter. Earnings grew at an average pace of 4.5 percent in 2012.

There are a few factors to blame. Businesses are nervous about the latest government gridlock that could lead to automatic spending cuts. Also, the end of the Social Security tax holiday, delayed

income tax refunds and higher gasoline prices are sapping spending money.

Wal-Mart offered a dreary outlook for the first quarter even as it reported strong earnings growth last quarter. The same was true at Nordstrom, which caters to more affluent customers.

Twelve companies in the consumer discretionary sector – which includes everything from restaurant chains to clothing companies – have shared their outlook for the first quarter. Of those, 10 have offered earnings guidance lower than what analysts had expected, according to FactSet. The silver lining: Earnings growth is expected to rebound fast later in the year – to 7 percent in the second quarter and 9 percent in the third.

Lessons learned?

Spotlight on energy drinks

During the critical shopping months of November and December, Target embraced several strategies to woo customers.

The retailer, which reports fourth-quarter earnings today, matched the prices of online competitors such as Amazon.com. It also partnered with luxury merchant Neiman Marcus to offer a limited selection of products from 24 designers, though Target ended up offering big discounts to clear unsold merchandise. What lessons did Target learn from its holiday season strategy?

Some lawmakers are seeking greater disclosures on the ingredients in energy drinks.

The push followed the release of a government survey in January that suggests the number of emergency room visits tied to energy drinks doubled nationwide in the past four years. That put Monster Beverage and other energy drink makers on the defensive. Wall Street will be looking at Monster’s fourth-quarter earnings today for signs the increased scrutiny is hurting sales.

Man’s online porn addiction robs marriage of its passion DEAR ABBY: I need help and I can’t talk to anyone I know, so I’m pouring my heart out to you.

My husband is addicted to online porn. Our sex life has suffered massively because of it.

He seems uninterested in sex with me. I had a feeling that it might be something or someone else.

My woman’s intuition told me there had to be a reason for him turning to porn, so I checked our computer’s history log and found he has been surfing gay porn. He does watch straight porn, but now peppers it with male-on-male porn as well.

It has shattered my world.

I don’t know what to think or what to do. I can’t discuss this with my family. They would never view him in the same way again. Help! — J. IN BRIGHTON, ENGLAND DEAR J.: Your husband may be curious, bisexual or have discovered (late) that he is gay.

It happens. You need to have a frank conversation with him.

Remain calm, stay strong and remember that you, too, are entitled to a sex life. You have nothing to lose by discussing this, and everything to gain.

If you need more help afterward, consider going online and contacting the Straight Spouse Network at www. straightspouse.org.

DEAR ABBY: I have been in

therapy for four years. I like my therapist, who has helped me immensely.

H o w e v e r, over the past Abigail year she has inVan Buren become creasingly tardy.

Dear Abby I understand there are sometimes emergencies, but being a half-hour late every week is excessive. I feel it is disrespectful to me. She keeps saying I just don’t understand.

How can I get across to her how frustrated I am? Or do I need to find a new therapist?

— BY THE CLOCK IN CONNECTICUT DEAR BY THE CLOCK: Tell your therapist exactly how this is affecting you and ask what her problem is. She owes you an explanation.

I agree that being late for your appointment is disrespectful if it happens regularly. You may need to find another therapist.

If that’s the case, be sure to tell her why you are leaving. It will help you in your personal growth.

DEAR ABBY: Please help me with a delicate situation between me and my husband of seven years.

For our 20th anniversary, my first husband gave me a diamond anniversary ring. After running across it again, I have recently started wearing it.

My husband is very offended that I have chosen to do this. I wear it on the middle finger of my left hand. (The knuckle on my right hand was broken when I was a teen and it won’t fit on that hand.)

I have tried explaining that there is no sentimental reason for wearing the ring. It’s just a beautiful piece of jewelry. He doesn’t want me to wear it at all, but I do. Do you have any advice? — LIKES THE SPARKLE IN WISCONSIN DEAR LIKES THE SPARKLE: While the ring may be just a beautiful piece of jewelry to you, to your husband it may symbolize the 20-plus years you spent with someone else. Ask if he would mind if you had the stones in the ring remounted into something you could wear on your right hand — or consider selling it and using the money to buy another piece of jewelry that would be less threatening to your current spouse.

Horoscopes

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You feel wonderful about yourself when you make others feel good about themselves. It’s a talent for sure, and one that requires an astute mind and a high level of attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Instead of imagining how you might succeed in business, think about how you could help your clients and customers succeed.

Your success depends on the positive difference you make in the lives of others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There’s a limit to what can be accomplished through thinking.

At some point, you have to test the theory. In today’s case, the outcome will be surprising and nothing at all like you thought.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Are you on a quest, or just in a dramatic mood? Beware: Questing can be a habit instead of a bona fide activity. You may find out that you already have what you seek.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In some way, you’ll pour out stale feelings to make way for warm, loving ones. It’s similar to the way you must empty your cup of the old, cold coffee before you can properly accept a new brew.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll overlook the peccadilloes of certain friends, but when your nearest and dearest commit such offenses, you feel it’s your responsibility to acknowledge it, if only to keep things honest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As your planets angle to cook up a financial snafu, you might consider seeing it as a math quiz of sorts. And if you have the right attitude, this ultimately leads you to a better relationship with money.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You do not deem it necessary that everyone obey you. But you cannot be an effective leader unless your team follows you at least some of the time. So don’t be afraid to request this at key

points today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Right away you notice something to like in the new people you meet, and you forge fast bonds. Ironically, you’re unconcerned about whether or not they like you, and they genuinely like you because of this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life will give you reasons to get physical. Your hard work in this regard will pay off first in a short-term exercise high and later as a general contribution to your good health.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Someone who once caused you stress will no longer be a bother to you. This person has moved on, and so will you. A smooth transaction this afternoon will be the first sign of progress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll prove that the face of effective work is not always stern and serious. Sometimes it’s no sweat. Through your chuckles and levity, you’ll accomplish a significant feat.

NOTEBOOK

Little-funded teams score big

The horrifying crash at the end of Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway sent parts of Kyle Larson’s car flying into the grandstands, injuring 28 fans — up to 30-something by some reports — and raising questions of the safety of auto racing, particularly at the faster race tracks like Daytona and its sister track, Talladega Superspeedway.

Race winner Tony Stewart, who skipped most of the traditional postrace ritual out of respect to the injured fans, described his view during his brief comments just after the race: “I looked in the mirror, and that’s the worst image I’ve ever seen in a race in my life.”

But others before him have had similar experiences over the years, particularly at the two giant tracks, both of which were designed decades ago with maximum speed in mind.

Daytona, opened in 1959, is 2.5-miles long, with the turns banked 31 degrees and the tri-oval at 18. Talladega, which held its first race 10 years later, is Jimmie Johnson races through the finish line to win the Daytona 500. slightly longer at 2.66 miles. Its turns were tweaked for even higher speeds ger at many tracks, including Daytona than Daytona, with a more sweeping layout and Talladega, after Edwards’ wreck, and and higher banking at 33 degrees. officials continued to try to figure out how But about the time Talladega opened, the to have racing there that is relatively safe, technology on the race cars had outrun but not boring. the safety of the race tracks.

The Daytona 500, NASCAR’s richest race, sometimes rewards those on the lower end of the financial ladder.

In 2005, journeyman driver Kevin Lepage finished ninth driving for maverick car owner John Carter. In 2011, David Gilliland finished third in Bob Jenkins’ modestly funded No. 34 Ford. And this year, Michael McDowell and J.J. Yeley, both of whom have been relegated to start-and-park efforts in recent seasons, finished ninth and 10th, respectively.

McDowell, whose career average finish is a dismal 37.8, got his first-ever top-10 finish but stayed out of trouble, running a smart race and running the entire race.

“We were in a good position there at the end and just stayed out of trouble,” he said. “Every time I would pull to the bottom to try and make a move I wouldn’t be able to pull it off, so the last 30 laps I committed to the top. I said to myself, ‘I’m not moving. I’m not even going to try anything. I’m just going to ride right here,’ and made up a lot of spots there coming to the white and coming to the checkered ...

“For us, an under-funded team, to come here to Daytona and get a top 10 finish is pretty cool.”

Yeley, who has an average finish of 37.4 for the past three seasons, scored his first top-10 since 2008 and the eighth of his career.

Sauter wins NextEra 250

Camping World Truck Series driver Johnny Sauter finally put his Daytona bad luck behind him and won last Friday’s NextEra Energy Resources 250.

Sauter held a tenuous lead on the white flag lap, with Kyle Busch poised to draft past him, when the caution flag flew and ended the race early and left him with his seventh career Truck victory and his first at Daytona.

“We came down here a couple years ago and crashed before the first half lap was over,” he said. “Couple guys got together and we were in it. Last year, we were leading coming to the white [and] got wrecked.”

Sauter said he hopes the win in the season opener will propel him to the series championship that also has eluded him. The 2011 season was particularly heartbreaking, as he won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but lost the title by six points to Austin Dillon.

“The Truck Series has been a tough row to hoe for me,” he said, adding that his Daytona troubles have put him behind in points from the start. “Every year we’ve been looking at being 25th to 35th in points, depending where we finished going in to the season, and came close to winning the championship two years ago.

“Hopefully, we can get back to championship form. I think we can. I know the guys are working hard. We’re going to Martinsville next, which is a great race track for us. We’ve won there, so I’m digging right now where we’re sitting, that’s for sure.”

Lady Tigers Kentucky finds success without Noel in semifinals The Associated Press

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Northeast Lady Tigers will be action today, facing Jones County Junior College in the semifinals of the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges State Tournament.

Northeast advanced with a 68-66 overtime win over South Division No. 2 seed Mississippi Gulf Coast on Monday. The extra-session win was the first postseason win for the Lady Tigers since 2006-07.

The Lady Tigers will face No. 4 seed JCJC today at 1 p.m. at Pearl River.

Jones County thumped North Division champion Northwest 77-50 in another quarterfinal game on Monday.

The women’s eight-team tournament began on Monday. The men’s tournament, which didn’t include the Tigers, tipped off on Tuesday. Championship play on both sides is set for Thursday.

Northeast trailed 32-24 at the break before knotting the game at 58-58 after 40 minutes of play.

LaTonya Gadison tied for team honors with 15 points and also pulled down 10 rebounds. Antionette Riddle had 15 to tie for team honors, while Belmont’s Angelia Allen chipped in with 14 points and had eight rebounds.

Markia Nix scored a game-high 34 points and added 10 rebounds for Gulf Coast.

Jones County claimed a 76-73 win against visiting Northeast in the teams’ previous meeting on Nov. 12.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The dark cloud that hung over Kentucky following Nerlens Noel’s season-ending knee injury has given way to a silver lining in the form of a modest two-game winning streak.

The initial forecast wasn’t encouraging after the Wildcats (19-8, 10-4 Southeastern Conference) were drilled at Tennessee in their first game without their defensive anchor 10 days ago. But they’ve boosted their NCAA tournament prospects with backto-back wins over Vanderbilt and Missouri behind the play of Julius Mays and Willie Cauley-Stein.

As a team, they Wildcats have displayed the precision, communication and dedica-

tion coach John Calipari has sought all season.

Still, Kentucky can’t overlook last-place Mississippi State (7-19, 2-12) on Wednesday night. A loss to the struggling Bulldogs — who have lost 12 straight — would be a devastating setback.

“This team is capable,” Calipari said of the Bulldogs’ upset potential, “and if we don’t have the maturity to understand one week ago, where were we? One week ago, we were in coffins and people were trying to nail ‘em shut.

Now, all of sudden we’re like, ok, wow.

“You can go right back to where you were if you don’t have maturity or toughness. ... We’ll see.”

Right now, the Wildcats ap-

pear to have a grip on both qualities.

To a player, Saturday night’s 90-83 overtime victory over Missouri marked Kentucky’s best all-around performance this season. Mays’ 24 points led four Wildcats with 16 or more points and outdid one of the SEC’s best offensive teams, but Kentucky’s resolve in overcoming a 13-point first half deficit demonstrated its growing poise.

Then again, the Wildcats had nowhere to go but up after losing Noel on Feb. 12 and then getting hammered by 30 points four days later by the Volunteers. After some individual soul searching, team meetings and stress relievers including a dodgeball game with a helmeted Calipari,

Kentucky has been crisper in practices and games.

The Wildcats have shot 50 percent from the field in both games and Cauley-Stein is getting help while he adjusts to taking over for Noel in the post. The 7-footer has done his part, averaging 13.5 points, 9.5 rebounds while blocking 10 shots, earning SEC freshman of the week honors.

“It really hurt losing like that, so we really just used that as motivation and didn’t want to be back in that situation again,” sophomore forward Kyle Wiltjer said of the Tennessee loss. “We were really focused in practice following that game, so that’s why we’re starting to play better.”

“If it’s something special for all the generations of players and coaches that I’ve been a part of, then, yeah, I’m happy.

But I’m looking forward to more.”

Stringer joined Pat Summitt, Jody Conradt and Sylvia Hatchell, who reached the

mark on Feb. 7. Only three Division I men’s coaches have reached 900 victories -- Mike Krzyzewski, Bob Knight and Jim Boeheim.

As the game ended, a crowd of 1,304 at the Rutgers Athletic Center saluted Stringer with chants of “900” and “C.V.S.” and Scarlet Knights Athletics Director Tim Pernetti was among the first to greet her with a framed No. 900 jersey.

Alabama rebounds with win over Auburn The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Trevor Releford had 21 points and Alabama used a strong second half to win a rematch with rival Auburn 61-43 on Tuesday.

The Crimson Tide (19-9, 11-4 Southeastern Conference) held the Tigers (9-19, 3-12) to 30 percent shooting — 15 of 50 — and a season-low in points.

Alabama scored 38 points in the second half. 24 more than the team managed in the first meeting — a 49-37 loss.

Nats-Braves has all the makings of long rivalry The Associated Press

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman were walking back to the Atlanta clubhouse, having finishing up a stint in the batting cages on a rainy morning, when they spotted Bryce Harper sitting at the end of the Washington dugout.

They went over to shake hands and chat for a few minutes, their first chance to catch up with the Nationals young star this season.

It won’t be the last time they meet.

This has all the makings of a great baseball rivalry: two youthful teams in the same division, both poised for longterm success but likely to be in each other’s way.

“You definitely know what’s across the table,” said Uggla, the Braves’ second baseman, before the teams met in a spring training game Tuesday.

Last year, they battled all

season for the NL East title, the Nationals leading most of the way with the Braves in hot pursuit. Washington finished with a league-leading 98 wins — four games ahead of Atlanta, though both made the playoffs.

After each lost to St. Louis in the postseason (the Braves in a disputed one-game playoff, the Nationals in a bitter division series), they began making moves with an eye on a longer October run, ever

mindful of what their division rival was up to.

The Braves signed B.J. Upton and traded for his younger brother, Justin, to give their offense a much needed boost from the right side of the plate. The Nationals traded for a true leadoff hitter, Denard Span, and signed closer Rafael Soriano, adding to a team that already includes two of baseball’s brightest young players, Harper and pitcher Stephen Strasburg.

Listen up ladies! Uncle Sam might want you too

BY RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tennnnnn-hut, ladies!

The next time Uncle Sam comes calling, he’s probably going to want you, too.

The Obama administration’s recent decision to lift the ban on women in combat has opened the door for a change in the law that currently compels only men between age 18 and 25 to register for a military draft, according to legal experts and military historians.

Never before has the country drafted women into military service, and neither the administration nor Congress is in a hurry to make them register for a future call-up.

But, legally, they may have no other choice.

It is only constitutional to register men for a draft, the Supreme Court ruled more than three decades ago, because the reason for registration is to create a pool of potential combat troops should a national emergency demand a rapid increase in the size of the military.

Women were excluded from serving in battlefield jobs, so there was no reason to register them for possible conscription into the armed forces, the court held.

Now that front-line infantry, armor, artillery and special operations jobs are open to female volunteers who can meet the physical requirements, it will be difficult for anyone to make a persuasive argument that women should continue to be exempt from registration, said Diane Mazur, a law professor at the University of Florida and a former Air Force officer.

“They’re going to have to show that excluding women from the draft actually improves military readiness,” Mazur said. “I just don’t see how you can make that argument.”

Groups that backed the end of the ban on women in combat also support including women in draft registration as a matter of basic citizenship.

Women should have the same civic obligations as men, said Greg Jacob, a

former Marine Corps officer and policy director for the Service Women’s Action Network. “We see registration as another step forward in terms of equality and fairness,” Jacob said.

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., supports draft registration for women, according to his spokeswoman. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., who heads the House Armed Services Committee, hasn’t made up his mind. McKeon said through a spokesman that he’s awaiting a Defense Department report due in the coming weeks that will assess the legal impact of lifting the ban women in combat on draft registration.

But if you’re worried a draft notice is going to soon be in your mailbox, take a deep breath. There is no looming national crisis that makes a military draft likely.

A draft would be enormously unpopular; a new poll by Quinnipiac Uni-

Collectors o r n e r • Antiques • Collectibles • Lots of unique items

versity found that American voters firmly oppose a return to conscription.

Also, adding women to the mix just doesn’t appear to be a high priority for a battle-weary nation nearing the end of more than a decade of war.

The U.S. military has been an all-volunteer force for the past 40 years and women have become an integral part of it. Nearly 15 percent of the 1.4 million troops on active duty are female. More than 280,000 women have served in Iraq, Afghanistan or other countries in support of the wars. There have been 152 women killed in the fighting.

Americans overwhelmingly support allowing female volunteers to serve in ground combat roles by a 75-25 margin, according to the Quinnipiac poll. But the survey of 1,772 registered voters found them conflicted over mandated military service for women.

On the question of reestablishing a military draft, male and female voters said they were opposed, 65-28, according to the poll. If a draft were called, however, men backed the conscription of women as well as men, by 59-36, the poll said. But

48 percent of the women surveyed said they did not want women to be drafted while 45 percent said they should be.

Maj. Mary Jennings Hegar, a California Air National Guard pilot who served three tours in Afghanistan, said excluding women from a draft reinforces a stereotype that they are less capable than men and need to be protected. Not every woman can handle a close combat job, she said, and neither can every man.

But they can contribute in other ways if a crisis demands their service, said Hegar, who received a Purple Heart for wounds she suffered when her Medevac helicopter was shot at during a mission near Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Hegar and three other female service members filed a lawsuit last year challenging the combat ban on the grounds that the policy unfairly blocked them from promotions and other advancements open to men.

The suit did not address the question of draft registration for women.

“You can’t pick and choose when equality should apply to you,” Hegar said. “Making generalized statements

like, ‘Women are capable of being in combat’ or ‘Women are incapable of being in combat,’ are equally ignorant. People are either competent or they’re not competent.”

For baby boomers in particular, talk of conscription stirs memories of the social and political upheaval of the late 1960s and early 1970s caused in large part by the unpopularity of the Vietnam war and the perceived unfairness of the draft. Research published in the late 1970s showed that men from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds were more likely to fight in Vietnam than men from middle- and high-income families who could avoid being drafted by going to college or finding a slot in a stateside National Guard unit.

“The American people lost confidence in the draft as a means of raising an army when it ceased to require equal sacrifice from everyone that was eligible to serve,” said Bernard Rostker, a former director of the Selective Service System and the author of “I Want You! The Evolution of the All-Volunteer Force.”

Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., has made several attempts over the past decade to reinstitute the draft on the grounds that a small fraction of U.S. citizens are bearing a disproportionate burden in fighting the nation’s wars.

But his bills have gone nowhere.

That hasn’t stopped him from trying. Just this month, Rangel introduced another bringback-the-draft bill that also would require women to register.

“Women have proven that they can do the very same tasks, military and non-military, that men can,” Rangel said.

Pro-social education helps offenders enter society TUPELO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One way the Mississippi Department of Corrections works to reduce recidivism is provide a course that teaches soft-skills and pro-social behaviors.

The Thinking For a Change course graduated its second class at the ICC Belden campus this month.

James Johnson, associate director of community corrections, said the ultimate goal is to reduce the already low repeat offender rate by changing the way offenders think about problem solving and stressful situations.

The program is a part of MDOCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-release supervision programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes back to social learning,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up in a pro-social environment and learned through family, friends and school programs. Many offend-

ers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow up in these environments. Just like you can learn these bad problem solving skills, we can teach good ones.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said the offenders in these courses have to work together to solve problems and are given a path toward job training and GED programs along the way.

He said extended incarceration often helps to create the problems that breed the anti-social behaviors they are trying to change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all connected,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the same attitudes that lead to teen pregnancy and high dropout rates.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-perpetuating.â&#x20AC;?

Half of Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inmate population didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish high school. Since thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-reported, the figure could be higher.

The average state in-

mate reads on a sixthgrade level.

Jartavious Jones graduated from the most recent Thinking for a Change class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing MDOC did for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things we wanted to do in life, they had in the classroom for us.â&#x20AC;?

He said with the help of the program he was able to get his GED and get on track to find employment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to stay out of legal trouble with educational opportunities,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to go on and get your GED while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out in the world than wait until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incarcerated.â&#x20AC;?

Jones said he probably would have avoided incarceration altogether had he stayed in school or gotten a GED. Marcus Cherry, another recent graduate of the

program, said not only do you learn better problemsolving skills and have more opportunities, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just got me around a positive crowd of people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting your education, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re busy, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly doing activities and staying out of trouble.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said they hope with this program to reduce recidivism and in some cases help keep families together and break the cycles that lead to anti-social and criminal behavior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the right programs, you can get better results than from just locking someone up,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps said while the average inmate reads on a sixth-grade level, half of them never finished high

school.

Epps said the commonly heard maxim that prison cells can be built based on a stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literacy rates at third grade isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely true but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely believe that someone who is illiterate has a better chance of being an inmate they are coming in on a sixthgrade reading, writing and arithmetic level,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot coming in our system with a Bachelor of Science or arts or a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Ph.D.â&#x20AC;?

Epps said the reason people with lower literacy levels are more susceptible to criminal behavior is a lack of opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are individuals Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware of with degrees who are having trouble finding jobs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a person at the sixth-grade level doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a GED

* Landscape Design & Installation *Flagstone/Paver Patios & Walkways * Outdoor Kitchens & Fireplaces * Arbors & Pergolas

or high school diploma, their (lower) quality of life is probably going to lead to criminal activity and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably get in trouble.â&#x20AC;?

Epps said a student may fall behind or drop out of school, but once he becomes an inmate he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re classified to go to school, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go to school,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our inmates may say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Commissioner, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to school,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll write them up and after so many write ups they go to a single cell by themselves for 23 hours a day. Regular school teachers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that.â&#x20AC;?

Epps and his staff take advantage of their captive audience. There are 3,798 slots for inmates to go to school and 2,370 slots for inmates to receive drug rehabilitation.

Home & Garden

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Spring brings garden shows across the state Cabin fever seems to hit me earlier each year, and it doesn’t help that we haven’t had much of a winter the past couple of years.

I already have tomato transplants ready to put in the ground even though it’s still two months from the traditional last frost date here on the coast. I saw blooming annuals for sale this weekend at a local garGary den center.

I think Bachman I’m feelSouthern ing a little Gardening warm.

Every time I find a new catalog in the mailbox, the pictures look so good that I start to feel a little guilty that I don’t have at least one of everything. Now if I’m feeling this way and I’m a professional gardener, what’s the casual gardener supposed to do?

In case you’re feeling overwhelmed by the options already showing up in stores, I’d like to recommend a few colorful annual plants that will hold up well until the warmer days of spring are upon us. These are the snapdragon, nemesia and diascia, all available at local garden centers.

The snapdragon is an old standby, and you can’t go wrong with the Sonnet variety. These plants have colorful flower spikes available in a kaleidoscope of colors that include orange, scarlet, pink, white and yellow. It’s easy to see why Sonnet snapdragons are so popular.

Nemesia is a colorful annual native to South Africa that is related to snapdragon. Flowers are up to an inch in diameter, and the interior is bearded like an Iris. Blue Bird is an old standby variety that offers some of the best bright blue flowers, each having a white and yellow throat.

A newer series of nemesia called Juicy Fruit put on a colorful flower display. Their delicioussounding names -- like Papaya, Kumquat and

Watermelon -- come in almost gaudy colors.

Diascia is another snapdragon-like favorite that is vigorous and cold tolerant. This plant is commonly called twin spur because of the descending spurs on the back of the flower. Wink Garnet is a bright magenta, while Whisper Pumpkin is a glowing orange. Diascia are cheerful plants especially wellsuited for combination containers.

There are several really good gardening shows coming up in the next several weeks that will help give Mississippi gardeners ideas for their own landscapes and scratch those gardening itches. No matter where you live in Mississippi, you will be fairly close to one of these: ■ Gulf Coast Garden and Patio Show, Biloxi, March 1-3 ■ Jackson Garden and Patio Show, March 15-17 ■ Everything Garden Expo, Starkville, March 22-23 ■ New Albany Home and Garden Show, April 5-6 These events are great opportunities for home gardeners to get inspired to plant the newest trees, shrubs, and flowering annuals and perennials for the home landscape and garden. Local garden centers and landscape professionals will have vendor displays, and some of the leading horticulture and landscape professionals in the Southeast will present seminars.

So come to a garden show if you’re ready for spring and want to catch a glimpse of how these beautiful plants could look in your landscape or learn how to grow them successfully.

The nemesia Juicy Fruits series has almost gaudy colors, such as those found on this Papaya Nemesia.

Gardeners can’t go wrong with the colorful flower spikes of these Sonnet snapdragons.

The musical “Grease” begins at 7 p.m. Thursday at CHS. Other “Grease” performances include 7 p.m.

Saturday and Tuesday and 2 p.m. Sunday. There is a cast of 82 students in the production. As the performances are expected to sell out, it is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance.

‘GREASE’ CONTINUED FROM 1A

stepped up to fill more than just the roles of the cast, Treadway said. They are also in charge of the set, costumes, lighting and sound.

“This is so they can understand the responsibilities of producing a

show. It’s part of the Theatre II and III curriculum — to produce,” explained Treadway, who serves only as director. “There’s nothing tougher than producing a musical and being in charge of that many kids.”

Treadway said the students working on

“Grease” have really made the production their own.

“They got to view a 1993 production after they had already started reading and practicing, and they’ve seen the movie, but it’s amazing how there can be a third version, because it’s theirs.”

The theatre teacher

praised the hard work and dedication of her students.

“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to direct such a talented bunch of teenagers, and every day I learn from them,” Treadway said. “I would like to thank the parents of my cast and my family for al-

lowing me to work many, many hours to produce this musical.”

Four performances of “Grease” are scheduled: Thursday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 7 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m.; and Tuesday at 7 p.m.

A sock hop for parents, the public and 1993 cast

members is slated to begin after the Sunday performance in the school commons.

Tickets are $7 for the show and $2 for the sock hop. As the performances are expected to sell out, it is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance.

Book Review Book chronicles journalists’ history-making race

BY JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press

“Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland’s History Making Race Around the World” by Matthew Goodman In his book “Eighty Days,” Matthew Goodman tells the story of two pioneering female journalists who raced each other 28,000 miles around the globe in 1889. One woman went east. The other went west. For more than two months, readers followed the women as they battled storms, snow and delays until one got back to New York City first.

The competition didn’t start as a race but as a stunt. To boost its circulation, Joseph Pulitzer’s “The World” newspaper dispatched its star investigative journalist, Nellie Bly, off to circumnavigate the globe in 75 days.

If she made it, she would beat the fictional record set by Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s 1873 novel, “Around the World in 80 Days.”

The racing reporters were strikingly different.

At the time she departed New York City on the morning of Nov. 14, 1889, Bly was already a star. The 25-year-old had posed as a mental patient to expose the horrific conditions at a women’s asylum, gone undercover to out a man preying on women in Central Park and assumed a different identity to expose a corrupt lobbyist.

She had also traveled outside the country, reporting from Mexico for several months.

Bisland had less grand ambitions. The 28-yearold initially told her boss she didn’t want to drop everything for the trip in part because she had guests coming for tea

the next day. And while Bly famously wore only one dress on her trip and brought a single piece of luggage she could carry herself, Bisland left with a steamer trunk.

It is remarkable how slowly the women traveled. Getting across the

country by train took Bisland more than four days. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean by steamship took Bly a week. Then there was the challenge of communication, with the women relying on telegraph offices to announce their arrivals.
