Colon cancer remains high cause of death

Are you coming home for Christmas, son it’s been almost 3 years Christmas isn’t the same without you, son there is no laughter, just tears last night I dreamt about you, son and its only added to my fears There’s a knock on the door, son now, who could that be? There’s a man at the door, son he says he’s from the U.S. Army What was that, sir? what did you say? My son won’t get this letter, why? because he died last Saturday of premeditated murder and three counts of attempted premeditated murder. He was sentenced to death on April 28 and is confined in the United States Disciplinary Barracks. Akbar told prosecutors he carried out the attacks to prevent the soldiers from killing Muslims in Iraq. He became the first American soldier accused of killing fellow soldiers since the Vietnam War. “He (Seifert) was shot in the back five minutes after I spoke

to him,” said Seigars of that day. “It was worse than anything that happened in Iraq.” Seigars was the 101st Airborne non-commissioned supply officer for his battalion which was preparing to invade Iraq. He struck up a quick friendship with Seifert. “When you are in the Army, you get to be fast friends,” he said. The two were headed to mess Please see LETTER | 3A

Work to see an Alcorn County bridge replaced has been a slow go. The District 2 bridge on County Road 346 has been closed for eight years, according to supervisor Dal Nelms. The bridge located near Liberty Hill Baptist Church has already collapsed. Legal issues with the railroad has delayed work on the project. “What is a short process with the railroad has basically turned into a battle,” said county engineer Johnny

Crotts of Cook Coggin Engineers Inc., to supervisors Monday. “We are behind in what we thought we would be at this time.” Redmont Railway Company of Red Bay, Ala., owns the land under the structure. “The holdup has been the railroad,” said Nelms. “Before we can do the work, the land has to be signed over to the county.” “The railway company wants to sign over the land, it’s just the matter of going Please see BRIDGE | 3A

March may come in like a lion, but lions can be tamed. With proper screening and treatments, the same can be said for colorectal cancer. M a r c h has been designated National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. As Dr. David C.

Getting connected is making life simpler for senior citizens in the area. The Corinth Connectors, a group of retirees who meet once a month for a luncheon, find opportunities for senior volunteers to help in the community. “Seniors bring life experiences, knowledge and skill that are a value to the community,” said member Tom Chartres. “Putting those skills to use in our community is one of our goals.” The group meets the third Wednesday of each month at 11 a.m. for a lunch at a different area restaurant. “We make an effort to have a program pertaining to seniors each time we meet,” said Chartres, who is an ambassador along with his wife, Martha. “Corinth is one of 20 Certified Retirement Communities by MDA (Mississippi Develop-

Last Letter

BY STEVE BEAVERS A knock at the door. It’s what most military families dread the most. James D. Seigars survived 26 years in the Army. His family escaped hearing that unwanted tap from an United States Army representative. The 46-year-old Booneville man often thinks of the many soldiers who lost their lives over the years — one in particular. Capt. Christopher Seifert is the reason for Seigars’ poem — “Last Letter” — written April 14, 2004. Seifert and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone were murdered March 23, 2003, when former Sgt. Hasan Akbar carried out an attack on the 101st Airborne Division. Akbar threw four grenades into three tents and then fired his rifle during the chaos. Fourteen other soldiers were wounded in the attack at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait. On April 21, 2005, Akbar was found guilty of two counts

Supervisors approved the request of a small Tippah County town to extend lines into Alcorn County in effort to improve its water system. County Engineer Johnny Crotts of Cook Coggin Engineering told supervisors the Chalybeate Water Association needs an agent for its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application. “The town has to have an agent since it’s not incorporated,” said Crotts. Some lines from the town already exist in Alcorn County. “This will help finish services that haven’t been completed,” said District 5 Super-

visor Jimmy Tate Waldon. “It’s another way we can work together to help our rural areas.” According to Crotts, 12-15 new customers would be accommodated by the upgrade. “The line extensions will also improve the water pressure service to around 100 people,” said the engineer. The CDBG is a grant program that is available to fund publicly owned infrastructure for community based projects. Funding from this program can be used by municipalities and counties. Grants can be used on such projects as: ■ Drainage systems

Today in history Today is Tuesday, March 19, the 78th day of 2013. There are 287 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 19, 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the start of war against Iraq. (Because of the time difference, it was early March 20 in Iraq.) On this date: In 1687, French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle — the first European to navigate the length of the Mississippi River — was murdered by mutineers in present-day Texas. In 1863, the Confederate cruiser Georgianna, on its maiden voyage, was scuttled off Charleston, S.C., to prevent it from falling into Union hands. In 1918, Congress approved Daylight-Saving Time. In 1920, the Senate rejected, for a second time, the Treaty of Versailles by a vote of 49 in favor, 35 against, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed for approval. In 1931, Nevada Gov. Fred B. Balzar signed a measure legalizing casino gambling. In 1943, gangster Frank Nitti, leader of Al Capone’s Chicago Outfit, shot himself to death in a railroad yard. In 1945, 724 people were killed when a Japanese dive bomber attacked the carrier USS Franklin off Japan; the ship, however, was saved. Adolf Hitler issued his so-called “Nero Decree,” ordering the destruction of German facilities that could fall into Allied hands. In 1953, the Academy Awards ceremony was televised for the first time; “The Greatest Show on Earth” was named best picture of 1952. In 1962, Bob Dylan’s first album, titled “Bob Dylan,” was released by Columbia Records. In 1965, the wreck of the Confederate cruiser Georgianna was discovered by E. Lee Spence, 102 years to the day after it had been scuttled. In 1979, the U.S. House of Representatives began televising its day-to-day business. In 1993, Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White announced plans to retire. (White’s departure paved the way for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to become the court’s second female justice.) Ten years ago: Tobacco farmer Dwight Ware Watson, who claimed to be carrying bombs in a tractor and trailer that he’d driven into a pond on Washington’s National Mall, surrendered after disrupting traffic for two days; there were no explosives. Five years ago: Five years after launching the invasion of Iraq, President George W. Bush strongly signaled he wouldn’t order troop withdrawals beyond those already planned because he refused to “jeopardize the hard-fought gains” of the past year. One year ago: The federal Justice Department announced it had begun an investigation into the fatal shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida by a neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman.

on a little preventative medicine. Early detection is key since most colorectal cancers occur without symptoms until the disease has advanced. “A colonoscopy is the most powerful prevention test and screening test that we have ... there’s no controversy with it,” said Portnoy. “People need to be aware that it’s a disease that’s very treatable, often curable and sometimes preventable.” During a colonoscopy, a patient is sedated and a colonoscope — a lighted tube — is inserted into the rectum to look for polyps or cancer the entire length of the colon.

During the procedure, the doctor can remove polyps or other tissue for examination. Of the many screening tests used to detect colorectal cancer, a colonoscopy is the only one that allows for the removal of polyps, which can help prevent colon cancer. “It’s not just a screening tool, it’s a preventative tool,” said Portnoy. Guidelines recommend screening beginning at age 50 if there is no strong family history of the disease. Those with a history are urged to begin the preventative process early and should discuss it with their family doctor.

Welcome Center

Activity center Bishop Activity Center has the following activity for today — outing to Tate Baptist Church for exercise, Country Cottage, games, puzzles and open discussion. Senior citizens age 60 and above are welcome and encouraged to attend. A variety of activities is offered for everyone.

most common among those that affect men and women,” said Portnoy. “It’s also the third leading cause of death.” Colorectal cancer is a result of the change and uncontrollable growth of normal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. The change and growth typically results in the formation of a polyp which can turn into a tumor over time. Despite all the haunting statistics associated with colorectal cancer, it’s one that can be easily detected and often times prevented if caught in the early stages. That is provided patients embark

With the current treatments available, patients who didn’t benefit from or didn’t fit into the guidelines for screening, all is not lost. “Unlike other cancers at stage IV (such as breast and lung) colorectal cancer can sometimes be curable,” said Portnoy. There’s also been some better for those patients. Within the last few months, two new drugs have been approved for the treatment of metastatic colon cancer, which occurs when cancer cells break away and spread to other parts of the body. “These are the first ones in several years,”

said Portnoy. “It’s a big deal.” The West Clinic opened its clinic in Corinth in 2004, with Dr. Sylvia Richey serving as the first medical oncology and hematology specialist to treat patients locally. In 2009, a partnership with Magnolia Regional Health Center brought forth the state-of-the-art Magnolia Cancer Center, which encompasses both radiation and chemotherapy. As well as Portnoy and Richey, The West Clinic Corinth physician team includes Dr. Mark Reed, Gynecologic Oncologist, and Dr. Stephen Besh, Medical Oncology and Hematology specialist.

He spent a year in Iraq before going back to Fort Campbell, Ky., then to Germany. It was in Germany that the former solider wrote the poem. “I was thinking about everything that had

gone on and I was going through a tough time myself,” he said. The Prentiss County man has read “Last Letter” several times during events to honor soldiers on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. It has also been published in a few weekly newspapers. “I wrote it just like a mom writing a letter to her son,” he said.

Seifert reprimanded Akbar for leaving his post. “Akbar said the depot wasn’t left unguarded,”

explained Seigars. “He left three Iraqi interpreters to watch over the ammo, which got him into more trouble.” Following the incident, Seigars and Seifert carried on a conversation about family. “He talked about a new baby daughter and how he would be going to see her for the first time once we got settled in Iraq,” added the Booneville man. The chance to see his daughter never came. Five minutes later, Seif-

The supervisor also said Monday that some land from property owners would have to be acquired in the future to complete the project.

Beat Obama over spending BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Republicans need to focus their fire on spending, spending and spending. Obama is vulnerable and exposed and can be taken down over this issue. His recent drop in polling can be directly attributed to his spirited opposition to the sequester cuts. Ever since President Obama succeeded in raising taxes, he has been left naked and unprotected on his opposition to spending cuts. No longer can he deflect proposals to curb the massive federal spending and debt by saying that we should first try to raise taxes on the rich. Now that he has had his way, he’s lost his cover. Obama has been badly hurt during the sequester battle. Openly exposed for pushing higher spending and crying wolf at the sequester cuts; it has become clear that he wants spending to go higher and higher. He can no longer sell dire warnings about the looming threats of spending cuts. With only 24 percent now saying that sequester cuts hurt his credibility, warning of the impact of spending reductions is shot. He now is seeking to cover up his plans for higher spending through his charm offensive with Republican leaders. But don’t fall for it. Republicans should take dead aim at Medicaid and push for its block-granting, as Congressman Paul Ryan has proposed and turn it over to the states. By making Meådicaid the focus, Republicans can point to its rapid inflation (it is rising in cost 50 percent faster than Medicare) and note that, under Obamacare, it is slated to rise even more. Obama’s strategy is to diver the focus from Medicaid or any of the other means-tested entitlements (food stamps, section 8 housing, unemployment insurance, disability benefits or welfare) by talking, instead, about Medicare. It’s not that he wants to cut Medicare -- he doesn’t -- but it is that he hopes to get the GOP committed to Medicare cuts so that he can use it as a club to beat them up. Obama wants Medicare to be the issue; Republicans must insist that it be Medicaid that is the center of attention. Unfortunately, the Ryan budget includes his usual proposal to transform Medicare into a voucher system in ten years. He says that his voucher system (called a premium support payment) will exist side-by-side with traditional Medicare. But only 5-10 percent of his projected budget savings of almost $5 trillion over ten years comes from Medicare cuts. It is very unwise for the party to go down that road. It’s a trap. But by avoiding Medicare and Social Security and focusing the debate on Medicaid and government spending, the Republicans can call Obama’s bluff and leave his plans for big government for all to see. (Daily Corinthian columnist Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Types of prayers heard in state’s schools After Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill that could lead to public prayers by students at functions like graduation, sporting events, or even over the school’s intercom, I couldn’t escape memories of my childhood. My late father was a high school principal and vocational agriculture teacher in rural Mississippi from the late 1940s through the early 1970s, a Southern Baptist, and a U.S. Army veteran who served in the Normandy Invasion in World War II. At school assembly programs or sporting events he led, two preliminary activities preceded the main event – first, a prayer, and second, either a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance or the singing of the National Anthem, or both. Students were not required to pray or to pledge, but they were required to maintain decorum while others did. Those students who deviated from the rules of decorum during those preliminaries saw the order of events altered to include prayer, patriotism and the addition of corporal punishment. As it was available in the communities he served, Dad also engaged in what he believed was an exercise in religious diversity. He would alternately ask local Baptist, Methodist, Pres-

byterian or Pentecostal ministers to deliver those prayers. A f t e r school inteSid Salter gration was Columnist implemented in the latter days of his career in public education, Dad widened the circle of ministers invited to offer those prayers to include African American ministers of those same basically Protestant or evangelical faiths. Such was life in Mississippi public schools in that era. Such was life in the vast majority of the nation in that era. But those days were changed by a series of Supreme Court decisions beginning in the early 1960s and continuing into the 1970s that saw religious expression in public schools limited. My dad retired before those cultural changes came about – particularly the Lemon case, which established a “test” of sorts for laws impacting questions of the separation of church and state. In the 1971 case Lemon v. Kurtzman, Chief Justice Warren Burger enunciated his “Lemon test” as follows: First, the statute must have a secular legislative purpose; second, its principal or primary effect must be one that nei-

ther advances nor inhibits religion; finally, the statute must not foster “an excessive government entanglement with religion.” To address those issues, the new Mississippi law – and others like it around the country – features language requiring that state school districts adopt a policy to allow a “limited public forum” at school events such as football games or morning announcements for students to express religious beliefs. The policy must include a disclaimer that such student speech “does not reflect the endorsement, sponsorship, position or expression of the district.” The question then becomes one of exactly what kinds of prayers the new law would allow to be expressed in this “limited public forum.” Does the law allow school-sanctioned public student expressions of basically Protestant or evangelical prayers and religious beliefs, or does it broadly allow Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and other faiths to have equal expression? What about paganism? Atheism? Agnosticism? Will Mississippi communities, particularly those with dominant Protestant or evangelical majorities, be able to handle that? If so, it will require a far greater

level of tolerance for minority religious faiths and for non-believers than I ever saw practiced during my childhood when diversity meant asking the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Pentecostal ministers to share the microphone during an average football season of pre-game prayers. Win, lose or draw in court, the new law is intensely popular with the majority of Mississippians. Yet for my fellow Methodist Gov. Bryant and the mostly Protestant or evangelical Mississippi legislative majority that passed Senate Bill 2633, the Lemon test may ultimately determine whether the new law passes constitutional muster when opponents almost certainly file suits seeking to challenge the law. The specific legal battle and the larger cultural war will continue to rage. I think my father understood the dilemma in his day. He often repeated that old canard about school prayer – bent slightly to his own observances: “As long as there are algebra tests and cheerleader try-outs, there will always be prayer in schools.” (Daily Corinthian and syndicated columnist Sid Salter can be contacted at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)

One-party rule is hastening Detroit’s decline Since the Motown sound went silent — except on oldies stations — and General Motors and Chrysler (but not Ford) required life support from Washington, there has been little to recommend Detroit, Mich., to visitors, much less its residents. The recent conviction of Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit, on multiple charges, including racketeering, fraud and extortion, adds another insult to the city’s injury, increasing its misery. During the mid-20th century, Detroit was a vibrant city with a population of almost 2 million. Today, it stands near ruin. The number of residents has now been estimated at just over 700,000. According to the Chicago Tribune, “The city has a crushing debt of $14 billion, and a budget deficit of as much as $327 million. The pay and benefit structure of public employees can’t be sustained. ... The city could run out of cash in a matter of weeks.” And yet the city’s main courthouse reports having $280 million worth of uncollected fines and fees. The state plans to send in

an emergency manager to try and repair Detroit’s finances. It might take an exorcist or Cal faith healer. Thomas The initial response to Columnist all of this sad news was denial. Some tried to change the subject by playing the race card. The majority of those who live in Detroit are African American. Michigan’s governor, Rick Snyder, is white, as are a majority of the state’s residents. But crime, corruption, malfeasance and misfeasance are not exclusive to a single race. Ask New Jersey. The problem for Detroit is something no one wants to address: one-party rule. And that would be the Democratic Party. While the road to Hell may be paved with good intentions, the road to corruption and municipal failure seems to have been paved by Detroit’s Democratic monopoly. Political monopolies invite bribes, kickbacks, misuse of funds, cronyism and a sense of entitlement.

Many businesses have fled Detroit for the usual reasons, including crime. In 2009, Time Magazine reported the city’s functional literacy rate was near 50 percent and its unsolved murder rate was nearly 70 percent. The Detroit News reported last month that nearly half of the city’s 305,000 properties failed to pay their 2012 tax bills. Michigan law provides for an emergency manager with the authority to prevent local elected officials from making financial decisions. That person also would be granted the power to alter labor contracts, shut or privatize departments and, reports The New York Times, “...even recommend that Detroit enter bankruptcy proceedings, a possibility that experts say raises the prospect of the largest municipal bankruptcy in the nation’s history, at $14 billion worth of long-term obligations.” Altering labor contracts caused quite the controversy in neighboring Wisconsin, but it had to be done. Democrats there (and in Detroit) had given away too much of the store in ex-

change for votes. Shrinking government and encouraging personal responsibility can be a winwin and not only for Detroit. “We can’t go on like this,” is starting, however slowly, to become clear to more and more people. In contrast to the city government, the private sector in Detroit is doing well. “Booming” is the word used in a March 5 New York Times front-page story. That, too, has accentuated in some minds the city’s racial divisions because the young entrepreneurs and artists moving back into the city are mostly white. They have revived parts of downtown, but that revival has not spilled over into blighted AfricanAmerican neighborhoods. Some years back, Detroit leaders announced a “Renaissance” for the city. There’s a hotel there by that name, but that’s about it. Detroit needs more than a Renaissance. It needs a revival, but that is not likely to happen as long as Democrats maintain their political stranglehold. (Readers may e-mail Daily Corinthian columnist Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.)

Firms begin defense in Gulf oil spill trial NEW ORLEANS — The owner of the drilling rig that exploded at the outset of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill catastrophe started its defense Monday at a trial designed to determine the disaster’s causes and assign fault to the companies involved. Transocean Ltd. called its first witness, well control expert Calvin Barnhill, on the 13th day of the trial. Transocean president and CEO Steven Newman was scheduled to testify Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier already has heard testimony by more than a dozen witnesses called by the Justice Department and attorneys for Gulf Coast businesses and residents who claim the spill cost them money. The plaintiffs’ lawyers still expect to call another witness to the stand this week, an employee of cement contractor Halliburton. Tranoscean’s witnesses could take up the rest of the trial’s fourth week. Halliburton and Macondo well owner BP PLC plan to call their own witnesses after Transocean finishes. The judge is hearing the case without a jury and — barring a settlement — could decide how much more money BP and its contractors owe for their roles in the catastrophe. BP could be on the hook for nearly $18 billion in penalties under the Clean Water Act if the judge

finds that it acted with “gross negligence.” The explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, killed 11 workers and led to the nation’s worst offshore oil spill.

Must voters prove their citizenship? WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court argued Monday over whether states fighting voter fraud and illegal immigration can make people document their U.S. citizenship before allowing them to use a federal voter registration system that was designed to make it easier to vote. Several justices questioned whether Arizona and other states have the right to force people to document their citizenships when Congress didn’t require it in ordering states to accept and use the “Motor Voter” registration card. But other justices said states should be able to police the citizenship of voters since the federal government only asks people to swear on paper that they’re U.S. citizens. “This is proof? This is not proof at all,” said Justice Antonin Scalia, who sounded skeptical of the opponents of Arizona’s law. But lawyer Patricia Millett, representing those challenging the law, answered that courts accept sworn statements as proof in criminal cases, some of which end in executions. “It’s a very serious oath,” she said.

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

Congress decided that a sworn statement with the risk of perjury was sufficient to register to vote in the federal system, she said. “This is not just a ticket into the state’s own registration process so they can go, ‘Thank you very much, (throw) it in the garbage can, now do what we would like you to do.’ It is a registration form,” Millett said. The court is deciding the legality of Arizona’s requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under a federal voter registration law. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which doesn’t require that documentation, trumped Arizona’s Proposition 200 passed in 2004.

Obama nominates pick for Labor slot WASHINGTON — Thomas Perez, President Barack Obama’s choice for Labor secretary, has used his perch as the nation’s chief civil rights enforcer to crack down on voter suppression, discrimination and police brutality. Labor advocates and civil rights groups expect him to bring the same aggressive mindset to the Labor Department, raising the agency’s profile and playing a more prominent role in the Cabinet than Hilda Solis, who left the post in January.

Harris sentenced for rape, burglary VICKSBURG — A Vicksburg man has been sentenced for raping a woman who suffers from multiple sclerosis and stealing her television. The Vicksburg Post reports that Eddie Lee Harris was sentenced Friday by Warren County Circuit Judge M. James Chaney to 40 years in prison for rape and 20 years for burglary. The sentences are to run concurrently. Under Mississippi law, Harris must serve every day of his 40-year rape sentence before he is eligible for release. Harris was convicted Feb. 27. Prosecutors say Harris kicked in the door on a side porch to get inside the woman’s home on Oct. 26, 2011. He then beat and raped the

woman and stole her television. Harris’ cousin, Charles Harris, is awaiting trial on accessory after the fact to burglary.

Great Rotation? Not yet The Great Rotation. Thatâ€™s the name market pros use to describe a long-awaited scenario in which investors take their money out of bonds and put it into stocks. U.S. stock mutual funds began attracting cash in January for the first time since February 2012. But itâ€™s maybe a half-turn, not a great rotation. Thatâ€™s because money continues to be put into bond funds at a rapid pace this year, much as it has since the financial crisis in 2008. Net deposits into bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds totaled $59 billion through March 13, according to TrimTabs Investment Research. Bond funds have attracted cash at only a slightly slower pace than they did in late 2012. Analysts expect the strong flows into bonds to continue, despite currently low yields. The yield on the 10-yr Treasury note hovers around 2 percent, although investmentAs the stock market moves higher, grade corporate bonds yield around 3 percent and investors are putting money into U.S. stock mutual funds, corporate â€œjunk bondsâ€? yield just under 6 percent. but that money isnâ€™t coming out of bond funds. â€œThe expectations of a big exodus from bonds

A rising tide

are way overblown,â€? says TrimTabs CEO David Santschi. One reason is that more and more baby boomers are retiring, and many rely on bond interest payments to meet daily expenses. Since the 2008 financial crisis, net deposits into bond funds have topped $1 trillion. Still, since the stock market has returned to its past heights, U.S. stock funds and ETFs have taken in about $48 billion this year. Some of that may be coming from money-market mutual funds. They offer an average yield of 0.02 percent and their assets have dropped by $32 billion this year according to the Investment Company Institute. If U.S. stock funds continue to take in money, this could be the first year since 2006 that they will grow from net deposits.

Bullish on home construction Economists expect that builders broke ground on more homes last month than in January. The consensus forecast calls for the Commerce Department to report today that housing starts jumped to an annual rate of 916,000 in February, up from 890,000 a month earlier. The housing market is gaining strength amid a dearth of available homes for sale. Thatâ€™s prompting homebuilders to ramp up the pace of construction on new homes.

Sandy fallout?

Many retailers had to temporarily shutter stores in areas that were ravaged when Superstorm Sandy swept through the Northeast. Among them is the discount shoe and accessories chain DSW. About 27 percent of the companyâ€™s stores are in the Northeast, and half of those were in areas affected by the storm. Wall Street finds out today the degree to which those store closings hampered DSWâ€™s fourth-quarter sales.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The tourism board, Corinth city board and the Alcorn school board all have regular meetings today. Staff Writers Bobby J. Smith and Steve Beavers will be covering these meetings. Look for these stories coming this week.

Sisters trying to get pregnant may share the same problem DEAR ABBY: I’m in my early 20s, happily married and financially secure. My husband and I have been discussing having children. My problem is my sister has been trying to start a family for three years, to no avail because she has infertility issues. These issues run in our family, and there is a 75 percent chance that I will have the same problem. Should I talk to my sister about my trying to get pregnant, or wait until I’m pregnant and break the news to her then? Since I may have the same problem she’s having, I don’t want to discuss something with her that may never happen. Any thoughts? — DON’T WANT TO HURT HER DEAR DON’T WANT TO HURT HER: “Springing” news that you are pregnant would be more of a jolt to her than hearing that you’re trying. I see no reason to keep this a secret from your sister. Because problems conceiving run in your family, talking about it might be helpful to both of you. If you do become pregnant, she may want to consult your doctor. If it doesn’t happen, the two of you can emotionally support each other. DEAR ABBY: After 20 years of marriage, I am now again in the dating world — and wow, have things ever changed! What happened to the days when men

would open doors, kiss your cheek, or try to impress you by sending flowers, complimenting you Abigail and chasing to go out Van Buren you with them? Nowadays, Dear Abby the guys expect me to impress them, call them first, etc. What are your thoughts on this? I have been on numerous dates, and out of all of them only one man acted like an old-school gentleman. Unfortunately, he was only 30. I’m in my mid-40s. I’m not super-rich, but I have a stable job, good benefits and two well-behaved boys. What’s wrong with me? — NEW TO THE DATING WORLD DEAR NEW: Nothing is “wrong” with you. In fact, if men still chased you, complimented you and didn’t expect to drag you to bed in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, you were lucky! Old-fashioned romance started dying out in the late 1960s and early ’70s. As women became more aggressive, men became more passive. If you like the way the 30-yearold man treats you, please don’t let the age difference get in the way. Grab him, because his kind

is now a rarity. DEAR ABBY: On Feb. 5 you referred to someone as a “controlling, slave-driving witch.” A lot of people in the Wiccan community, practitioners of Wicca, use the term “witch” with positive connotations. There are several slur words that I heard growing up that I would never dream of using these days because of how society has changed. Please help to spread the word. It took years of fighting the system, but we are now recognized by the VA and included on headstones with other religious symbols. And by the way, in our religion, the word “warlock” is an insult that means “oath breaker.” “Witch” is a genderneutral name. — PROUD MALE WITCH AND VETERAN DEAR PROUD MALE WITCH AND VETERAN: I hope that you and other members of the Wiccan religion will forgive my lapse, which was made out of ignorance. I used the term “witch” as a substitute for the word I wanted to use because my editors told me that referring to a woman in that way is not acceptable in family newspapers. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Letters and emails require thought; conversations are where the real deals happen. You never know what the other person is going to say. That’s why conversation is the art that separates the amateurs from the pros. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get dressed up appropriately and show up where expected with an attitude of service. This simple effort may seem to take more out of you now, but it will give you much more than it takes. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you’re to win the game you’re playing, you need a well-tested strategy. Talk it over with a friend or teammate. You’ve already played a few moves, but now is a good time to pause and reconnoiter. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will like hearing your compliments only if they desire them first. So don’t give them

too early. If you hold back, it will mean more when you finally gush a bit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is safety in agreement, acceptance and doing what you’ve been doing. If only there were fun there, too. But since there’s not, seek danger. Follow your curiosity to the unpopular and unknown choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Now that your guiding planet, Mercury, is flying direct again, you’ll find that a certain someone can be more readily contacted and is also much easier to understand and connect with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you were able to meet one of your heroes, what would you say to that person? The future holds such a meeting, and you’ll get something valuable out of any time you spend preparing for it now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The very thing your ancestors had to fight and die for is now a part of your daily life that you often take for granted. Not today.

You will be fully aware and appreciative of their sacrifices. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Understanding where others are coming from will require special attention and a few adjustments. But once everyone is on the same page, moving forward will be easy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The attention lavished on you may not be a direct result of something you did today. Rather, your past efforts have accumulated, and you’re now enjoying the fruits of your labor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll surprise them again. They really should be onto you by now. Don’t they know that you have already been many people and lived many lifetimes between zero and your current age? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You come across as so amazingly competent now that the one in charge can’t help but give you a new assignment. With any luck, it’s something you can accomplish in a few hours.

Ole Miss wins SEC, draws Wisconsin Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Mississippi Rebels now have two very big items on their resume that nobody can take away. Murphy Holloway scored 23 points and Marshall Henderson had 21 as the Rebels gave coach Andy Kennedy his first NCAA tournament berth by upsetting 13th-ranked Florida 66-63 on Sunday for the Southeastern Conference tournament championship. “So much is made about the NCAA tournament,” Kennedy said. “I was just glad to get the albatross that is the NCAA tournament off the neck of our program so people can now exhale and get a new focal point.” Ole Miss (26-8) is a No. 12

seed and will face No. 5 Wisconsin (23-11) in the West Regional. Game time is 11:40 a.m. in Kansas City, Mo. The winner will face the Kansas State-Boise State survivor on Sunday. The Rebels have won seven of eight grabbing their first tournament title since 1981 and their second ever. Even though they thought reaching this game for the first time since 2001 probably clinched their seventh NCAA bid in Kennedy’s seventh season as coach, the Rebels wanted the SEC championship too. “We worked so hard to get to this point, and it just feels so good to celebrate with the guys in the locker room,” Rebels senior guard Nick Williams said. “I don’t know

man. I’m at a loss for words.” Reginald Buckner added 13 points for Ole Miss, which won two straight without point guard Jarvis Summers. The sophomore suffered a concussion in Friday night’s 64-62 win over Missouri. That forced Kennedy to use Ladarius White, while Henderson and freshman Derrick Millinghaus also handled the ball. “Can you imagine going into a game of this magnitude with a backup quarterback?” Kennedy said. “And that’s what this team had to do.” Florida (26-7) hasn’t won this tournament since wrapping up a three-peat in 2007, and the Gators lost to Kentucky in this game two years go. The SEC regular season

champs still haven’t won a game by fewer than 10 points this season. They go into the NCAA tournament 0-6 in games decided by six points or less. “The people trying to create this drama around a situation that’s not necessarily true,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said. “Our guys haven’t lost confidence at all. They dug themselves a hole with our lack of defense. ... The truth of the matter is we were up 12 and allowed Ole Miss to shoot 53 percent in the second half and we shot 29 percent.” The Gators had a final chance to force overtime.

Louisville top overall seed in NCAA tournament Associated Press

Good luck filling out those brackets. The No. 1 seeds are set for the NCAA tournament, but very little has gone as expected in this college basketball season. No reason for things to change now. Louisville received the top overall seed Sunday after romping through the Big East tournament, while Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga claimed the other No. 1 spots. Yet, considering all the upsets that have prevented anyone from establishing themselves as a clear-cut favorite, there are plenty of teams that think they can run the table. “More than any year I can remember, I don’t think seeding really matters,” said Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford, whose team has a chance at getting Louisville in the round

of 16. “Probably if you’re a 1 seed, your first game, you’ve got a pretty good chance of getting by that. Then even after that, I think it’s throw it up in the air.” One thing is for certain: Kentucky won’t be repeating as national champion. The Wildcats didn’t even make the 68-team field, becoming the first defending champ since North Carolina in 2010 to miss out the following season. “You’ve got to earn it each and every year,” said Mike Bobinski, the Xavier athletic director who chaired the selection committee. Louisville (29-5) certainly earned it, impressing the committee with a 10-game winning streak capped by a stunning turnaround in the final Big East championship game as we know it. The Cardinals

were 16 points down to Syracuse early in the second half, but they turned up the fullcourt pressure and wound up with a 78-61 triumph. Now, they’re what passes for a favorite in this wideopen field, after making a surprising run to the Final Four as a No. 4 seed in 2012. The Big East, in its final year before the basketball-only schools break away to form their own league, led the way with eight NCAA teams. “We are ecstatic to be the No. 1 seed, particularly after finishing off one of the greatest conferences in the history of college basketball with a Big East championship,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. The Cardinals might face a tough matchup with Saint Louis on the second weekend, and could get No. 2 seed Duke — which led the RPI rankings

but lost out on a top seed after stumbling in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament — in the regional final. “We know we will be challenged right away in one of the toughest brackets that I’ve seen in quite some time,” Pitino said. “I think our guys are up for the challenge.” The Big Ten was next with seven NCAA teams, but the so-called power conferences hardly had a monopoly on the at-large berths. For the second year in a row, the committee gave 11 of the 37 spots to teams from the lesserknown leagues. Most surprising was Middle Tennessee, which lost in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference tournament after winning the regular-season title. In previous years, that Please see NCAA | 11A

left, and Kenny Boynton’s last gasp 3 glanced off the rim after he took a step back to make sure he was over the line. “I kind of rushed it because I was trying to back up and make sure it was a 3-point shot before time ran out,” Boynton said. Mike Rosario had 18 points and Boynton added 13 for the Gators. Ole Miss outshot the regular season champs 47.4 percent (27 of 57) compared to 37.3 percent (22 of 59) and outrebounded them 37-34. That gave the Rebels an 11-5 edge on second-chance points. The Gators struggled at the free throw line, making 3 of 11 there in the second half. They missed their final five attempts over the last 4:19.

likely would have been enough to knock the Blue Raiders (28-5) out of the NCAAs. Not this time. They are headed to the tournament, helped along by another in a series of upsets on the final weekend — Mississippi, which lost at Middle Tennessee in early December, knocked off Florida in the SEC championship game Sunday. “They had no rough patches along the way, and their win over Ole Miss looks better at this point in time,” Bobinski said of the Blue Raiders. The tournament begins Tuesday with a pair of games in Dayton, Ohio, but things really get rolling on Thursday and Friday, when 64 teams will be in action. Everyone is trying to get to Atlanta for the Final Four, which starts April 6 at the Georgia Dome.

Southern Miss basketball earns top seed at NIT Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — A free throw or two short of the NCAA Tournament, the Southern Miss basketball team received a bid Sunday to the NIT for the first time since 2001. The Golden Eagles earned a measure of respect from the NIT selection committee, receiving a No. 1 seed. The three other top seeds are Kentucky, Alabama and Virginia. “When you think about where we started this year, to really be honest, I hoped we’d have a winning season and be around the middle of the pack,” first-year USM coach Donnie Tyndall said. “To be considered for a top seed along with a Kentucky team coming off a national champi-

onship, that’s pretty impressive for our young guys.” USM (25-9) will host No. 8 seed Charleston Southern of the Big South at 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday at Reed Green Coliseum in the first round. Charleston Southern went 19-12 overall and 12-4 in the Big South this season. Memphis beat Southern Miss 91-79 in an exciting double-overtime contest in the Conference USA Tournament championship game on Saturday to take the league’s NCAA Tournament automatic bid. USM failed to capitalize on opportunities in the first overtime and struggled at the free throw line, hitting just 15-of-28. USM coaches and play-

ers gathered at the Reed Green Coliseum basketball offices on Sunday to watch the NCAA selection show, holding out hope that they could still earn an at-large bid. When Southern Miss was passed over for other bubble teams, disappointment set in. “I don’t want to say our players were shocked,” Tyndall said. “We felt after Memphis game that it would be tough to get in. With a team like Middle Tennessee not winning its conference tournament, we knew one game might be the difference. We’re disappointed. I thought we were much more crushed, emotional after the Memphis loss. “After the selection show, we quickly met as a team. We want to regroup and talk about the

positives.” Of the teams left out of the 68-team field, USM had the highest RPI ranking at No. 32. “Obviously, we thought our team deserved to be in NCAA Tournament, but it didn’t go our way,” Tyndall said. “There’s no easy way to say it. With that being said, the NIT is a very prestigious tournament and we’re very proud to be a part of it. We were rightfully selected as a No. 1 seed.” Tyndall is hoping for a strong showing of fans on Wednesday night. “We need a great crowd,” Tyndall said. “It’s an opportunity to come out and support our team. We had a fantastic year and over achieved in every shape and form. I hope people understand how important it is to come out for

the game. There are only so many times that you get a chance to play postseason games on your home court.” Southern Miss will try to repeat history with the 1987 NIT champi-

onship serving as one of the proudest moments in program history. USM’s last NIT bid followed the 2000-01 season after it earned a share of the Conference USA regular season title.

Pit Stop family serves quick service, good food Vroom-vroom — refuel those taste buds with the cooking crew at The Pit Stop. Devoted NASCAR fans, Linda Reed and family wanted a restaurant noted for fast, speedy service, especially the drive thru — thus the name The Pit Crew. The restaurant, located at 726 S. Tate St. (better known as College Hill), is a family-run operation. Reed’s sister-in-law Margaret Glidewell and her brother David Risner, along with two other employees who are as close as family, make up the staff. Her son Joey, who lives in Water Valley, comes home on weekends to help his mom. “Also my brother Billy has helped for years and still comes in if I need him,” commented Reed. Her first restaurant job was at Country Kitchen. “Ï was working at a shirt factory and knew that was not what I wanted to do. My mom worked in the kitchen at Country Kitchen so I wanted to work in the kitchen with her,” said Reed. “My first day, the owner said, ‘You’re not working in the kitchen. You’re going to be a waitress.’ I’ve loved it ever since.” One would have to love it to put in the hours she does. The restaurant opens weekdays at

5 a.m. but she’s there at 4 making biscuits and getting everything prepared. Sue When they Bronson close at 2 p.m. she’s Down Home put in 10 hours, and that’s not counting cleanup time. Friday and Saturday nights the restaurant is open until 9 p.m. “That’s when I drink a lot of coffee, and I mean a lot,” she said with a smile. The sign on the front of the building reads “The Best Bar-B-Q in Town.” That’s a big brag since there are several places in town serving barbecue. Plate lunches, along with barbecue, are served every day. With eight shoulders cooked each week, she said, “We may run out of something, but it won’t be barbecue.” And homemade desserts — Reed’s always looking for unique recipes -- but customers can also bet on their standard favorites. If anyone is fortunate enough to be there when Yum Yum Cake is available, they’re in for a treat. Fish, steaks, smoked chicken and ribs are reserved for weekend dinners. Her well-known ribs are cooked once a week.

Before putting them on the grill, she starts with a dry rub, then adds her secret ingredients. An exclusive item at The Pit Stop is the Buddy Potato — a delicious alternative to baked potato. It is a concoction of grilled chunks of potato, onions and other seasonings that only two people know. The Buddy Potato is an original creation by Buddy Kemp, who cooks it at Hog Wild competitions. He shared the recipe so the public can enjoy it. This also is only served on weekend nights. The Pit Stop has more than its share of regulars. Some eat there every day, either breakfast or lunch, sometimes both. “I come two or three times a week and for breakfast most Saturdays because the food is good,” said Michael Ross, as Reed served his lunch. Others at his table, David, Zendall and James Null, confirmed that they come about as often. Early mornings, several tables are usually filled with EMTs. The Pit Stop is not only conventionally located with good hearty portions of food, but it helps that a half-price discount is given to all city and county EMTs, firemen and policemen. “It’s a win-win situation,” she explained. “I

Tornado debris study could lead to better warnings BY JEFF MARTIN Associated Press

ATLANTA — Photos and mementoes that were snatched up and blown hundreds of miles during a Southern tornado outbreak two years ago are giving researchers new insight on how debris is carried by the storms and how it could threaten the public. A new study has documented how one photo traveled nearly 220 miles over Alabama and Tennessee, said John Knox, an associate professor of geography at the University of Georgia who led the research. That is among the longest-documented trajectories of tornado debris. The slightly scratched snapshot, which shows a stream flowing through a mountainous landscape, traveled from the northwest Alabama town of Phil Campbell to the east Tennessee town of Lenoir City. The study was recently published online by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. It tracked the direction the items traveled in relation to the storms that struck Alabama and other Southern states on April 27, 2011. The researchers analyzed the takeoff and

landing points of the items using geography software and mathematical models. Most debris fell slightly to the left of the storm’s track. But the items that traveled the farthest were found to the right of the path. Knowing where the debris is likely to fall could help protect the public if a tornado were to strike a hazardous site and suck up toxic biological or radioactive debris, Knox said. “We need to get enough understanding so we can get fairly reasonable predictions of where the stuff goes,” said John Snow, a professor of meteorology and dean emeritus at the University of Oklahoma who studied tornado debris in the 1990s. Knox’s study builds on research done by Snow and others. Though nuclear reactors are designed to withstand the force of tornadoes, radioactive materials such as fuel rods are often stored nearby, Snow said. A direct hit on such material is one of many catastrophic scenarios involving tornadoblown debris. Tornadoes have struck toxic materials in the past. In May 2008, a twister slammed into the Tar

Creek Superfund site in Oklahoma, where mountains of mining waste tower over the landscape. Joshua Wurman, an atmospheric scientist who founded the Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder, Colo., was not involved in the Georgia research but thinks it could have benefits. “Let’s say a tornado struck some kind of toxic waste dump. Sure, some of the debris or dust would have some contaminants in that,” Wurman said. “Understanding which direction those contaminants would go could be useful.” The 934 objects studied by Knox and his students were posted on a Facebook page and later claimed by their owners. Patty Bullion created the site hours after the tornadoes struck, when several photos and scraps of paper were found in her neighborhood in the northern Alabama town of Lester. She began posting the pictures on her site. More than 2,000 of those photos and documents eventually were claimed by their owners and returned to them. That gave the researchers a gold mine of raw data on which to build. “I was very thankful

that the page could be a help,” Bullion said. “I never dreamed that it would send as many pictures home as it did and then help with research like that. God works in mysterious ways.” Bullion has since taken down the Facebook site.

The historic 2011 tornado outbreak in the South, combined with Bullion’s social media effort, represented a unique opportunity for the new study, Knox said. On April 27, 2011, more than 120 tornadoes caused more than 300

deaths across the South. The items studied from the 2011 outbreak represent “just a small cross section of debris that just carpeted the Southeast,” said Knox. “What was amazing was that there was so much debris that went so far.”

To this day, not nary ’nother noose BY JIMMY REED Columnist

If Jaybird, the old black man who was my boyhood mentor, hadn’t shown me how to tie hangman’s nooses, I wouldn’t have lynched Gloria’s dolls. My sister’s passion was dolls. In her upstairs room, they cluttered her bed, dresser, and bookshelf. These weren’t ordinary five-and-dime Raggedy Ann dolls: They were aristocratic debutantes, celebrities, princesses, and queens. Some were coiffed in bouffant hairdos; others wore pigtails like Gloria’s, which were so long she could sit on them. Each doll had multiple ensembles of dresses, purses, shoes, tiaras, bracelets, brooches, and pendants. It irked me that Mama spent hours sewing beautiful outfits for those dolls, while my wardrobe

was jeans and t-shirts. One day, when Gloria and Mama went shopping, I committed the heinous hanging crime. The heebie-jeebies came over me when I crept upstairs, partly because my sister’s room was off limits to all males, but mainly because those staring dolls made me feel like I’d entered Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. In preparation for the dolls’ date with the Grim Reaper, I fashioned four nooses and tied them to the stairs. Then I abducted Barbie, Scarlett O’Hara, Marilyn Monroe, and Gloria’s favorite, Queen Cleopatra. What fun it was to loop nooses around the elegant necks of those poutymouthed, glossy-cheeked beauties, their cornflower blue eyes a-blinkin’. So that Gloria would know they agonized while

One day, when Gloria and Mama went shopping, I committed the heinous hanging crime. The heebie-jeebies came over me when I crept upstairs, partly because my sister’s room was off limits to all males, but mainly because those staring dolls made me feel like I’d entered Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. asphyxiating, I twisted their arms and legs grotesquely and mussed their hair. The deceased dolls were a ghastly sight, slowly rotating at ropes’ ends, eyelids at half blink. By the time Mama finished frazzling me with a willow switch, I was an even ghastlier sight. Months passed before she forgave me, and Gloria still hasn’t. But I kept making hangman’s nooses. One day Reverend Mortimer came calling, and he,

Mama, Gloria and I were sipping sweet tea and munching cookies in the parlor. Mortimer’s monologue became boring, so I eased down on the floor to harass Stokely, Mama’s Siamese cat, fast asleep under the table. Noticing Gloria’s pigtails hanging behind her chair, I made a noose from a piece of twine I had in my pocket and slipped it over one of the pigtails, and tied the other end of the line to Stokely’s tail. What happened next

precipitated pure pandemonium. Gloria reached across the table for a cookie, and instantly that which the preacher warned would be the eternal destination of malicious miscreants like me — hell! — chaotically broke loose in Mama’s parlor. When the pigtail pulled the string, it pulled Stokely’s tail. He shot up Gloria’s back and across the table. His claws jerked the tablecloth, spilling tea, cookies, and sugar. Mor-

tified, Mama froze; Gloria and Stokely entwined each other, one hissing, one screaming; and His Reverence blurted out an extremely un-ecumenical expletive. When the twine finally broke, some semblance of sanity returned, but only after Mortimer, my sister, and Stokely witnessed a switching even more severe than the one I got for murdering the dolls. From that day to this, I’ve knotted not nary ’nother noose. (Daily Corinthian columnist and Oxford resident Jimmy Reed can be reached at jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com or 662832-8031.

While in the trunk of a car she speaks with Jordan, who gives her advice and confidence. However, is that enough to stop the serial killer from completing his atrocious plans? The serial killer is Michael (Michael Ekland), a really weird individual living a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde life. Paul (Morris Chestnut) is a police officer and a close friend of Jordan.

He gives some advice about police officers and those who are helping to keep civilians safe: “Many times the job of a police officer and a 911 dispatch operator comes down to the process of somebody living or somebody dying which is the hardest part of their job.” “The Call” is violent movie with some very disturbing scenes. As the serial killer said on two occasions, “It is already done.” I begin to feel the movie should hurry up and be over. Many of the

intense scenes are full of psychologically disturbing actions. The ending could have been much better. It was a little anticlimactic in one respect and creative in another. Just be prepared for a great deal of edgy scenes and sinister violence coming from a certifiable nut case. (Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System.

Work on the vehicle began in August, and the completed unique car made its road debut in December at area Christmas parades.

NEMCC vehicle — is it coming or going? Car with two front ends becomes one-of-a-kind rolling advertisement for college’s vocational programs BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

A talented group of Northeast Mississippi Community College students has proven that two heads are better than one when it comes to eyecatching automotive creations. The students in the college’s Auto Body Repair program have created a one-of-a-kind rolling advertisement for the college’s vocational programs in the form of a Ford Taurus with two front ends that leaves everyone who sees it asking if it’s coming or going. The car was the brainchild of instructor Randy Mitchell who said he was looking for a unique project that would provide his students with experience in all aspects of the automotive trades. He had heard of similar cars being created and decided it would make the perfect semester-long project for his students. The work began last August with the delivery of two almost identical Ford Tauruses from a local used car lot. The students immediately went to work carefully planning the details of the major surgery ahead for the vehicles. The job included determining how to reroute brake and fuel lines, electrical connections and more and how to connect the cars physically to ensure a stable and drivable end product. Mitchell explained the complex undertaking stretched his students’ skills and gave them broad experience in all areas of automotive work including auto body repair and fabrication, mechanical systems, interior work and much more. With the planning complete the work began by first stripping the cars down and then slicing them apart at the center. The front halves of the sedans were then carefully welded back together. They then connected the mechanical systems so the car would function safely on the road. Mitchell said the job involved a great deal of creative problem solving and ingenuity because there’s no manual or instruction sheet for this type of project. The combined car was completed in December and outfitted with graphics advertising the college. The work was done just in time for the vehicle to appear in area Christmas parades to promote the school. Mitchell said his students learned a lot from

Northeast photos document the project from the day the two separate vehicles were purchased, removing the rear portions of each Ford Taurus, then putting the two car’s engines and front seat back together. the project and he’s proud of the entire group for the dedication to the work. Auto Body Repair is one of a full-slate of automotive oriented programs offers by NEMCC. Students in the two-year program can work toward

either a certificate or an associates degree in the field. Mitchell said the goal of the program is to prepare the students to work in the growing field of auto body repair. Most of his students are lifelong car

buffs with an interest in vehicles and, often, racing or customizing. He said the auto repair business has been an extremely strong field to be in, especially during the recent economic downturn because people are

holding on to older vehicles longer and therefore making more of an effort to repair them rather than replace them with a newer car. He said auto body work is particularly recession-proof because accidents will always happen.

“People are going to have wrecks and have to get their car fixed,” he said. (To learn more about automotive and other programs offered by the college, visit them online at www.nemcc.edu.)

Picture yourself inside the historic Coliseum BY KATHRYN DILWORTH For the Daily Corinthian

In July 1924, the palatial Coliseum Theater celebrated its opening in downtown Corinth. The Historic Coliseum, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, creates an enchanting setting for a wedding or reception. Brides have walked down the lobby’s Italian white marble staircase for generations, and the stage is a dramatic setting for wedding ceremonies and formal receptions. Many brides choose to welcome guests into the lovely Coliseum garden, where tents can be set up to add an outdoor element. Tents can also be set up on Taylor Street, creating a romantic entrance to the Coliseum’s elegant lobby and providing space for an outdoor band and dancing. The options for utilizing the space are limitless, however. Bridal luncheons, “Sweet 16” teas, benefits and fundraisers, theater productions, live music, corporate events, educational presentations, private events and dinners are all possible in this spectacular space. Depending on the type of event, the lobby can create an intimate environment for a small group, or the main auditorium can seat 458. The stage, at 22 feet in depth and 28 in width, is large enough for a formal dinner or reception. Space is still available for spring and summer weddings just in time for guests to enjoy the new, state-of-the-art cooling system recently installed. The Coliseum has been and remains today the most monumental theatre space in Corinth and Please see COLISEUM | 3B

Karen Benson, an area family and child development agent with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, has been on both sides of wedding challenges. After directing several weddings for other couples, she gained planning experience last fall as the mother of the bride. “Experience helps directors anticipate needs and have back-up plans,

but no matter how much experience someone has, if they are part of the wedding party, they should not be the director,” she said. “There are too many details that will need special attention at the last minute, often while other things are happening.” Benson said couples may cut some corners to reduce costs, but a good director is a must. “There needs to be a point person that the wedding party, the caterer, the florist and all others involved can look to for guidance and decision making,” she said. “The couple, friends, family and other advisers can be actively involved ahead of

“As a father of two daughters and a retired fire chief, I can attest to the fact that weddings and disasters have a lot in common, especially when it comes to managing the chaos created by both.” Michael Burns Tupelo time, but on the wedding day, someone outside the immediate wedding party needs to be in charge.” Benson recommended couples meet with their wedding director well ahead of the date to review plans.

“If the director does not meet your expectations and communicate well, look for someone else,” she said. “Together, you can identify others whose advice and assistance will be appreciated.” Michael Burns of Tu-

pelo might not seem like a wedding expert, but as a retired fire chief, he is well trained for this sort of major event. “As a father of two daughters and a retired fire chief, I can attest to the fact that weddings and disasters have a lot in common, especially when it comes to managing the chaos created by both,” he said. “Without some system of management, both can go from bad to worse in a matter of seconds.” For Burns, a longtime trainer and advocate for the Incident Command System, it was natural for him to turn to his ICS background when his daughters married. ICS

originated many years ago to help organize responses to wildfires. After the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, agencies across the nation adapted it to all hazards, meaning that the National Incident Command Systemworks during any event or incident to minimize the chaos. “The ICS strategy facilitates planning and improves communication with everyone involved. The emphasis is on teamwork,” he said. “One person cannot anticipate or respond to every need. Major events, like a wedding, need a written plan of action and an effort to identify gaps that need to be addressed.”

COLISEUM CONTINUED FROM 2B

the surrounding area. Built in 1924 by selfstyled architect Benjamin Franklin Liddon, the Coliseum has long been integral to the cultural development of Northeast Mississippi as well as being architecturally significant in its city and state. In the city, it serves as a major congregation space and physical reminder of the richness of the city and county’s past. In the state, it is one of a breed of shelters for culture built in a day when concern for quality was manifested in people’s reverence of the arts. In its life the Coliseum has served a variety of purposes. Originally designed as a multi-purpose theatre, the Coliseum has accommodated both live and screen performances in its acoustically perfect auditorium. Traveling Vaudeville shows came to Corinth by rail to perform in the Coliseum. Child stars, who later became nationally known as adult actors and actresses, often performed here. During the infancy of the movie industry, a theatre organ in the orchestra pit accompanied the silent screen performances shown on a screen dropped from the fly area over the stage. Later, “Talkies” arrived, and traveling performances by musicians from the Grand Ole Opry to the rock and roll of the Elvis Presley era became a part of the Coliseum’s rich repertoire. In more recent years the Coliseum was the most visited movie theatre in the area and since 1981 has served the Corinth and Alcorn County area as a civic and performing arts center for a myriad of events among diverse groups. “To have my son married at the Coliseum was so special for our family and allowed us to host our guests in a building that so proudly repre-

sents our wonderful city. One of our out-of-town guests thanked me for the chance to experience the history of Corinth through the Coliseum. He was so surprised to discover such an important historical theater in our little city,” said Marilyn Nixon Dodd. “The Arts Council has devoted countless hours and raised the funds to support the Coliseum since its founding in 1980. We are honored to play a role in the preservation of this important historic space. We hope the community will take advantage of the space and use it for their special events and celebrations,” said Rosemary Williams, executive director, Corinth Area Arts Council.

Jim Berry Owner/Installer Your home is probably the most valuable investment that you have, we know that and take great pride in protecting and beautifying your home to give you decades of leak free, worry free protection. We have always been aâ€œHigh Endâ€?roofing company. We do charge a higher price than most. However we strive to give you the â€œperfectâ€?roof. We only use Owens Corning limited lifetime architectural shingles purchased from Lowes in Corinth. This shingle is a number 1 grade shingle, has a 110 MPH wind warranty, a stain and algae resistance warranty and class A fire resistance warranty, the highest in the industry.This shingle also carries a 10 year tru-protection, non pro-rated warranty. This shingle is rated a consumer best buy in consumer reports magazine. Owens Corning is the leader in the roofing industry since 1977. A lot of local companies use seconds, NOT US! When we tear off your old roof we are probably cleaner than you would expect. We first cover the ground around the perimeter of house with tarps to catch any small debris and nails. When we tear off the roof we do not throw any material onto the ground. We hand carry it in barrells over the roof to the dump truck, parked in your driveway. We never drive onto your lawn. We then inspect your decking and replace any bad, broken, or rotten wood with new. When we finish the tear off, we roll up the tarps and you are left with a well respected clean lawn. We always use a #1 grade 30 lb felt paper which is twice as thick as your normal 15 lb felt paper. We always install new drip metal with a white baked on enamel finish around the perimeter. We always install all new plumbing pipe flashings and new chimney metal on all 4 sides of chimney.We always install step flashings up both sides on all dormers and anywhere a roof buts up to a wall. On a recover, which is adding a new roof over your existing one layer roof, we first cut back the 1â€?shingle overhang around perimeter, then we install the white drip metal which will protect your facias andâ€œhidesâ€?the old existing roof, then we install a new 30 lb felt paper over the old roof along with all new plumbing pipe flashings, chimney flashings and step flashings.Then we install the same Owens Corning limited lifetime architectural shingles, basically the same as a tear off other than we use longer nails. All shingles are installed per the manufacturers instructions with 4 nails per shingle on normal pitched roof and 6 nails per shingle on steep roofs, with all nails placed in the white nail lines. All singles are installed perfectly straight and no shingles are marred or scuffed up during the installation process.We cap off each job by installing either whirlybirds, electric power vents or continuous ridge vent. This is necessary to keep your attic cool and to comply with the manufactures warranty.We finish each job by painting all your vent pipes, chimney metal and all other flashings with enamel paint to blend in with your roof color. Our final touch: we wash off your new roof and wash out your gutters. You wind up with a beautiful, professionally installed roof that will protect you from the elements for decades to come. If you have a commercial or industrial building with a metal roof that has started to rust... donâ€™t want until itâ€™s too late. We can extend the life of your roof and beautify it at the same time. Also, is your metal roof getting so hot in the summer that your A/C can hardly keep up, causing your utility bill to skyrocket? Let us spray a coat of MuleHide A300 brand, bright white elastomeric rubber coating. This is an industrial grade roof coating that will adhere to your old metal roof. It is an EnergyStar rated product and will drastically reduce the temperature of the roof and also lower the temperature in the attic. This product is a finished brite white monolithic roof after it has dried however it can be top coated with a spray applied coat of Sherwin Williams metal latex paint in any color of your choosing. The same MuleHide A320 can also be applied to any flat, hot tar, torchdown or E.P.D.M. roof to stop leaks, reduce attic temperature and extend the life of the roof. It is not a cheap product but well worth it when compared to the replacement cost of a new roof. We also do metal, concrete tile, slate, cedar shakes, torchdown, E.P.D.M., and roof coatings. We also do roof inspection and certifications.We install a wide variety of shapes and sizes of skylights that is guaranteed not to leak.We also do expert carpentry work in case you may decide to add a carport, an addition, a front or back porch or maybe a deck. We are great at detecting and stopping leaks. We can also repair any damage you may have to you ceiling from previous leaks and eliminate any mold problems.We also work closely with Shawn Arnold over at S&G Gutters who can come out to your home and fabricate on site, a continuous seamless gutter with a baked on enamel finish available in 20 different colors. After Shawn is finished we will install our drip metal over into the gutters giving you TOTAL protection from the elements at the dripline of your roof. This is our 35th year straight of installing a quality roof. We never subcontract out any of our jobs and my roofers are screened and highly trained.We have many, many references from many satisfied customers.We are clean, prompt, professional & courteous. We carry a $1,000,000 Liability policy for your protection. We may be a higher priced company but we are well worth what we charge. Give us the opportunity to add you to our long list of satisfied customers. Remember... itâ€™s your home, your most valuable investment.You wouldnâ€™t take your $30,000 car to a shade tree mechanic.Your roof, along with your foundation, is the two most important parts to your home..., donâ€™t be sorry...., be sure! You only get one chance to get it right, donâ€™t be taken for a ride, call the name you can always trust... JIMCO! All of our roof jobs carry a 5 year warranty which is transferable in case you sell your home. We have no quarrels with others who bid their jobs for less..., they obviously know what their job is worth!

Pastor seeks volunteers for Philippines mission trip BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

A Southern Baptist pastor from Prentiss County, who helped establish an orphanage in the Philippines, is now organizing a medical mission trip to the same rural area this summer. Bro. Ray Hall, pastor of East Marietta Baptist Church and who also serves as the public affairs officer for Mississippi Highway Patrol Troop F which includes Alcorn and surrounding counties, has done missions work in the Philippines every summer since 2007. At first his focus was on evangelism, then he began to see the need to help homeless children in the rural province of Southern Leyte. With God’s guidance and the help of his mission-minded church family and others who wanted to provide assistance, an orphanage called Rosemary’s Home of Hope, was built in the Philippines. It is now home to 11 children, ages one year to 16 years of age. A church, East Marietta Baptist Church of the Philippines, has also been established there and has about 70 attending. Built of bamboo, the church is the only one in that community. The monthly operating cost of the orphanage is nearly $1,500. “God has really blessed us. I definitely give God all the glory,” he said. Now Hall is organizing a medical mission to the area “So many, many people there have never been to a doctor, can’t afford to go or have no transportation,” he said. “Last year a small child came to the Vacation Bible School we had and she had a splinter in her finger. Her thumb was so infected she couldn’t use it. The ladies on the trip took her to the hospital where her wound was cleaned and she could use her thumb again. It cost approximately $10 but her family had no money.” The goal is to reach three communities with a free health care clinic set up for one day in each community of those living in the mountains of Kananga. “In addition to the

health clinics, we will also be ministering to the orphans at Rosemary’s Home of Hope and the surrounding area,” Hall said. He is seeking approximately eight to 10 Godcalled men/women who have some experience in the healthcare field. However, the trip is not limited to health care professionals only. The missions trip will cost about $3,000 per person with about 75% of the cost being airline tickets. Any extra money raised will go toward the mission trip to have money on hand to meet needs of the residents there. He is collecting multivitamins for adults and children and prenatal vitamins for expectant mothers to give those who come to the clinic, along with baby aspirin and other medicines. Reading glasses are also welcomed as those citizens do not have access to any reading glasses, he said. Reading glasses can often be found for $1 apiece at some stores, he said. Old glasses no longer worn would also be welcome. Supplies, such as new clothing and hygiene products, are always taken to the orphanage when he goes. Since living conditions are often described there as “rough,” Hall said he doesn’t mind taking donations of used clothing as long as the clothing is still good quality. Hall and a small team will initially go in April to

Forgiveness is Available God could never forgive me. I have done some awful things. How many times has that thought passed through the human mind? Does it frequently lodge in your mind? When we are alone at night with just our thoughts, are they thoughts of despair, hopelessness, and frustration? We turn and learn from the Bible that there is hope. Tucked away in Luke 15:11-32, the private thoughts of a prodigal boy in a pigpen invention in the far country gives us some hope. That boy was an invention of the Master storyteller to share a message about forgiveness... about a father’s all-encompassing, incomprehensible love. Heaven’s sermon of hope when the devil preaches despair. Satan has convinced many - who live in sin - that there is no hope. Last man ﬁnds hope in Christ. That hungry prodigal knew his rich father would not go to bed without supper that night. But the son would. Pondering this thought, he realized that nobody on his father’s farm would fall asleep with a growling stomach. But he would. Even his father’s servants had “bread enough and to spare” (Luke 15:17). But he didn’t. When we think of man and see the magnitude of his sin, we can hardly understand how a single sinner can be saved, but when we think of God and see the magnitude of His love, we can hardly understand how a single one could be lost. Have you considered that God loved sinners better than he loved His own Son. You may ask, how can I say that? Bible- “He spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all” (Rom. 8:32), but he spares sinners. He poured out His wrath upon His Son and made Him - being innocent - the substitute for sinners, that He might lavish more love His love - upon us - the guilty - who deserved His anger. Since God gives us all things freely (Rom. 8:32) and with-holds “No good thing---from them who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11), what can we count on, when we turn to God and seek His forgiveness? Those whose hands God saw crimson stains that matched His Son’s blood were told, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin” (Acts 2:38). We must obey Jesus in order to be forgiven our sins. What can we learn? Christ forgives when man-obeys. Do not tarry. Read Luke 15.

At this small town cafe, there are no strangers BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GUYS, Tenn. — Once individuals enter the red door, they become like family. Strangers can’t be found at Family’s Cafe in downtown Guys next to the railroad tracks. “Everyone who comes in knows everyone or does before they leave,” said Pam Wheeler, the daughter of owners Pete and Shirley Rinehart. Wheeler is part of the family-run cafe as is “Uncle” Raymond Price, Melissa Witt, Rita Coleman and the Rinehart’s. “Pam and I started the cafe, but they try and say I’m the boss,” said Shirley Rinehart. “But I can’t boss anyone.” “The name was obvious,” added Pam. “Everyone who works here is family.” “The ones who aren’t, we have adopted,” added Shirley with a smile. The at-home feel of the cafe is evident throughout the room. There are family photos on the walls along with fresh flowers on the tables. Tennessee Lady Vols memorabilia -- a favorite of Shirley and Pam -- can be found in the ladies restroom. “Our goal is to create a family atmosphere,” said Wheeler. “That and the good food keeps people coming back.” Everyone knows their job on Friday and Saturday nights from 4-9 p.m. Shirley is the resident hostess, a job she relishes. “Sometimes they have to ring the bell when I get to talking too much,” she said with a laugh. “Daddy” Pete is in charge of all the grilling while Raymond does all the frying. Wheeler has the role of preparing the appetizers of white beans and a salad. Witt and Coleman are the waitresses. “We all do everything,” said Wheeler. “Even the customers pitch in sometimes … it’s just like being in your dining room at home.” People start arriving early to get a fish plate or hamburger steak. They are greeted with a bowl of white beans and a basket of homemade hush puppies. Socializing over a homemade meal continues sometimes past the closing time of 9 p.m. “It’s hard work, but a lot of fun,” said the Rinehart’s lone daughter. “Sometimes we don’t close to the cows come home … we don’t turn anyone away.” Pete, who has become “quiet the cook” according to his wife, likes talking with customers during a break in his grilling. “Ninety percent of the people who come in here I wouldn’t normally see,” he said. “The good part is meeting those people.” “Daddy” Pete also wants his cooking to be the way a customer orders it. “I want it to be right,” said Rinehart while standing over the grill. “If it’s not the way they want it, I want them to send it back and we will get it right.” While Pete mans the grill, Raymond has the job of doing something he has done most of his life. “Uncle Raymond has always loved to cook,” said Pam. “I don’t have anything else to do,” said Price who spent 32 years with Norfork Southern Railway before retiring. “I have been cooking fish since I was 10- or 11-years old … you have to do something when you retire because when you sit down you begin to die.” A pair of hunters -- Roy

Customers are greeted by a bowl of white beans when they come to Family’s Cafe. Hager and Larry Tignor -- made their first stop at the cafe after some advice from the landowner where they were hunting quail. “A guy told us this is the place to come for some catfish and a piece of cake,” said Hager, from Montgomery, Ala., as he walked up the kitchen entranance. “We took his advice.” “We drive far and wide for catfish,” added Tignor from Henderson, Tenn. After getting a sample of the fish and desserts to take home to their wives, the two bird hunters vowed to be back. “This is at the top of the list,” said Tignor. “If a place has good catfish and desserts we will be back because that’s what

we like.” Ernest and Shelby Derryberry, of nearby Chewalla, make the short trip to Guys on a regular basis. “We have been coming here every Friday night forever,” said Shelby. “I get here early for the fish,” added Ernest, who “grew up with Shirley”. Although the family atmosphere is a big draw to customers, the food is also worth the trip. “We have created our own way on a lot of things,” said Wheeler. “Our menu has evolved over the years from just fish, hamburger steaks and chicken to things like grilled pork chops … if someone is looking to watch their weight, we can also fix them up.”

“Everything we serve is homemade,” added Shirley, who spent 25 years at ITT in Corinth. The cafe, which once hosted a wake, has been a fixture next to the tracks since March of 1999. The weekends of Thanksgiving, and if Christmas falls on the two days, are the only times the eating place is closed. “I have always wanted to do this,” said Shirley about her business. Shirley’s plan was put into play when Pam moved back to Guys. “I didn’t know if would do as well as it has,” said Shirley. “I hope it will last forever.” That’s also Pam’s plan. “I am not going to let any of them retire,” she said with a smile.

Story of faith continues for Rienzi family Couple adopts 14-year-old girl from China who canâ€™t speak, hear BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

RIENZI â€” A story of faith continues to unfold for the Phil and Niki Smith family of Rienzi as the couple welcomes a new member to their family. Their adoption of a Chinese girl named Guan Ya was to be completed before Guan Ya turned 14 on March 9. The coupleâ€™s trip to China this month to finalize adoption of Guan Ya would also be the first time the parents met their new daughter face to face. They have spoken by email through Google Translate and received letters written in Chinese translated into English. â€œShe seems to be very excited and happy about coming over here,â€? Phil Smith said earlier this month. Although Guan Ya does not hear or speak, thanks to email communications there has been bonding with her new family and she is already calling them â€˜motherâ€™ and â€˜father,â€™ he said. The Smiths also have two biological children, Colt, 9, a third grader,

and Macy Jade, 7, a first grader, both Rienzi Elementary School students. Guan Ya is the second child from China adopted by the couple. The first was GiGi, who is now three years old. Although GiGi has scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, she recently received a good bill of health. The scoliosis has not progressed, he said. â€œGiGi is doing great, just climbing around and fitting right in.â€? The couple believes adoption of orphans is a lifelong mission God has called them to do. Smith teaches Career Pathways Experience at the Alcorn Career and Technical Center while his wife Niki is a stay-athome mom. â€œIt is a very blessed life, but a very hectic life,â€? said Phil Smith. â€œOur children definitely dominate our time and is what we think about all the time. It seems like there is always one more thing to do. â€œThis is most definitely Godâ€™s mission or we wouldnâ€™t have made it

The Hollis boys and their fancy rifles BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

A few weeks back I told you about the Corinth Rifles and how all the local boys rushed to join up. This was a scene that was repeated in every little community across the two countries, not just here in Dixie. The way it worked was pretty simple — a big shot in town was authorized to raise a 100man company and virtually everyone of military age clamored to join up. Everybody wanted in — farmers, merchants, lawyers, hat makers. The sheriff and the mayor were frequently commissioned as officers. Those who didn’t join up were branded as cowards and shunned. As you can imagine, there was often a number of kin who signed up together — fathers, sons, nephews, cousins and brothers. Such a company was raised in Edgar County, Illinois. They signed on when they learned the company would be shipped to St. Louis and attached to a Missouri regiment known as Birge’s Western Sharpshooters. Among them were four brothers of the Hollis family. The brothers were the sons of Hinson and Rebecca Hollis, a couple who had come from Delaware to settle in the town of Embarrass on the Illinois-Indiana state line. Hinson was a brick mason as well as a farmer and reared his eight sons and two daughters on the family farm. In mid-September, 1861, four of the brothers were sworn into service though the paperwork on the youngest, Ira, was a little fishy. The enlistment forms for Francis, 26, Stansbury, 22, and Nelson, 17, were all above

board. Ira, however, was only 14 years old and too young to become a soldier. So he enlisted under his cousin Wesley’s name, lied about his age, and joined his brothers in Company E. The regiment they enlisted in was truly unique. The different companies were raised in Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan and the men poured in from every state in the west. The regiment was the brainchild of Gen. John C. Fremont who envisioned a regiment of sharp shooters, armed and dressed like the hunters he had seen on the Great Plains. He contracted with St. Louis gun maker Horace Dimick to provide them with 1,000 Plains Rifles. Dimick was known for his signature American Deer and Target Rifle, a formidable .40 caliber weapon with a one-inch thick octagonal barrel and a distinctive curved trigger guard. The enormous barrel made the piece heavy. But the problem was not the weight, but the quantity. Horace Dimick didn’t have 1,000 rifles on hand. His guns were all handmade and, as a result, took a lot of TLC to create. This was the time of the American system of manufacturing which allowed for mass production and interchangeable parts. Each of Dimick’s guns was a work of art and took weeks to complete. Instead of hiring more gunsmiths to work in his armory, Dimick was able to fill the order by purchasing all of his competitor’s weapons. Unfortunately, the rifles came from over 20 different gun makers and the weapons were a variety of calibers ranging from .28 Please see HOLLIS | 4C

this far,” he said. Generosity from people from around the world has enabled the couple to pursue adoption of children from foreign countries as they have said adoption fees cost around $35,000 to $40,000. They stepped out on faith believing since God called them to do this He would provide the way. “The outpouring has been nothing short of miraculous,” he said. “The amount of money we’ve been able to raise and lives we’ve touched from as far away as Los Angeles to our back door, to South Africa, Australia, Germany, Washington ... we have literally been able to reach people all over the world who have been touched by our story of faith,” he said. Niki posts a blog at

“I cannot tell you the number of people that contact me daily to tell me how Guan Ya’s story has touched their lives.” Niki Smith long-road-to-china. blogspot.com read by a wide range of people. “I cannot tell you the number of people that contact me daily to tell me how Guan Ya’s story has touched their lives,” Niki said. The Smith family is looking forward to helping Guan Ya acclimate to her new surroundings and feel comfortable in her new home surrounded by her new family who has been anticipating her arrival with open arms. Niki noted some Chi-

nese children want a more American name and change their name during the adoption process. “We were having conversations with Guan Ya via emails and I asked her if she would like to keep her Chinese name or change it. “She told me if it was okay she wanted to keep her Chinese name Guan Ya but wanted to take on her Baba’s (Daddy’s) last name of Smith. She wished her name would be Guan Ya Smith so she would have a family name as we all had her Daddy’s family name,” Niki said. The Smiths say Colt, Macy Jade and GiGi are very excited about Guan Ya’s arrival in Mississippi. “They can’t wait to meet her. They accept her as a sibling ... there’s no question in their mind that’s their sister,” said Phil Smith.

to .72. This created a potential logistical nightmare. How do you resupply a unit that required over 20 different types of ammunition? Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of different weapons used during the war, but at least the attempt was made to arm all of the men in a regiment with the same type of gun. It’s just common sense. Dimick caused the problem and he came up with the answer. Each man would have to make his own ammunition. Every new rifle was issued with a bullet mold to create ammunition of the proper caliber. To prevent any confusion the mold and the rifle barrel were stamped with a serial number corresponding to the proper caliber. Along with the bullet mold each man was issued some non-standard accouterments. Instead of the regulation cartridge box, soldiers were given a bear skin bullet pouch and a powder flask. Unlike the rest of the army who used factory made cartridges, the sharpshooters would load each individual round just as deer hunters had been

doing for generations. The regiment was officially the 14th Missouri Infantry but throughout the war they were known as the Western Sharp Shooters. Lt. Colonel John M. Birge was selected as their leader. Birge was unable to outfit the men in the frontier garb Fremont had pictured them in, but he was able to supply them with gray hats decorated with a knot of three squirrel tails. The unusual headgear was a boast to their reputation as crack shots. They saw action in small engagements in Missouri, but the first real fight was at Fort Donelson in Tennessee. The sharpshooters were assigned to the division of Brig. Gen. C. F. Smith who frankly didn’t know what to do with them. Rather than place them shoulder to shoulder with the other infantry regiments, Smith allowed them to fight as skirmishers in advance of the main line. It was a good idea. They hid behind trees and bushes and were credited with silencing a 12-gun Confederate artillery battery. The Hollis brothers came through the fight unhurt but the second oldest, Stansbury, became

sick and was shipped off to a hospital in Mound City, Illinois. On the 5th of March he died of an unrecorded disease. Two weeks later the three remaining brothers traveled with the regiment up the Tennessee River to the growing Union camp at Pittsburg Landing. The unit set up their tents a mile west of the landing in the field of a local tenant farmer. During the Battle of Shiloh the Squirrel Tails were engaged on the far right of the Union line protecting the Owl Creek bridge and they had some sharp fighting with Confederate cavalry. There is a monument to their bravery in the woods across the highway from the main park entrance. The Hollis boys soldiered through the Siege of Corinth and in August they were once again a quartet when they were joined by their 18-yearold brother Clark. One afternoon the brothers posed with their fearsome Dimick rifles at one of the local photography studios. The next test of arms for the regiment came during the Battle of Corinth. On the first day of fighting, October 3rd, the Squirrel Tails were kept in town

as a reserve. Along with another regiment they served as the Provost Guard, or military police, and maintained order in town. The following morning, long before dawn, they were placed out in front of the main defensive line to serve as skirmishers. The men spread out in a long line from Battery Robinett nearly to Battery Powell, or, roughly from the Civil War Interpretive Center to the First Baptist Church. They played a big part in driving away three batteries of Confederate cannon which had opened the fight with a pre-dawn bombardment. Because they were skirmishers, they were the first ones to see the two Southern divisions come out of the woods for the attack on Corinth. For a time the Western Sharp Shooters were caught between the two closing lines of infantry but they managed to fall back before they could be captured. The regiment suffered 6 killed, 14 wounded and 3 captured, but again, the Hollis boys made it through unharmed. On November 20, 1862, by order of Edwin McMasters the Secretary of War and Richard Yates,

the Governor of Illinois, the 14th Missouri was officially redesignated as the 66th Illinois Infantry. It didn’t make much difference to the men in ranks who continued to call themselves the Western Sharp Shooters. The regiment was destined to be part of the occupation force of Corinth and the men settled into the relatively posh quarters at Camp Davies. It was a nice stay. But in November of ’63 they began the move east to Chattanooga and a gathering of armies in preparation for the Atlanta Campaign. The three-year enlistments of the original members of the regiment were coming to an end and the majority of the soldiers in the 66th Illinois re-enlisted as veterans. For “reupping” they each got a cash bonus and a month long furlough at home. It was then that many of the men discarded their cumbersome Dimick rifles for the more up to date Henry repeating Rifles. The .44 caliber Henry fired a metallic cartridge and was far easier to load and fire than the old Dimick. The men had to pay for the weapons out of pocket, but it was

worth it. They were very formidable weapons. It was during the reenlistment phase that Ira’s falsified papers were discovered. (Remember, the 14 year-old Ira signed up using his older cousin Wesley’s name.) As a result the underage Ira was given a discharge and sent home. He was still shy of 16 but already a seasoned combat veteran. Not to worry, though. The Hollis family would remain a quartet as cousin Henry joined their ranks in early 1864. At war’s end there had been six Hollis boys in the Sharp Shooters and despite all of the action they had seen not a one had been killed or wounded in combat. They returned to Illinois and like their father became famers and brick masons. Each one married and reared a house full of kids. As they lived close by, they were able to get together now and again. Just imagine the stories at those family reunions. (Tom Parson is a National Park Service ranger at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. His column appears every Sunday in the Daily Corinthian.

Poll finds attitude shift among working moms BY JENNIFER C. KERR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Working mothers increasingly want full-time jobs, and tough economic times might be a big reason, according to a national survey. In the Pew Research Center study being released Thursday, researchers saw a big spike in the share of working

mothers who said they’d prefer to work full time; 37 percent said that was their ideal, up from 21 percent in 2007. The poll comes amid a national debate on women in the workplace ignited by top Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, who writes in a new book about the need for women to be more professionally aggressive.

In “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” Sandberg argues that women have not made true progress in the workplace over the past decade and that they need to raise their hands more and “lean in” if they want to land more senior positions in corporate America. The shift toward fulltime work in the Pew poll,

however, coincides with the recession and may have less to do with career ambitions than with financial realities. “Women aren’t necessarily evolving toward some belief or comfort level with work,” says study co-author Kim Parker, an associate director at the center. “They are also reacting to outside forces and in this case, it is the economy.” Among women who said their financial situations aren’t sufficient to meet basic expenses, about half said working full time was best for them. Of the women who said they live comfortably, only 31 percent said full time was their best situation. Melody Armstrong, 34, of Hampton, N.H., works full time and says she wouldn’t have it any other way. “It works better for my family, and for our finances,” Armstrong said in an interview. “It helps pay the bills and we can enjoy the lifestyle we have. We need to have two incomes.” Armstrong and her husband have six children between them, a blended family with one child off to college and a baby at home. She works for Double Black Imaging, a Colorado-based company that sells medical monitors. Armstrong says her

company gives her the flexibility she needs to work her sales position from home. “I do some work early in the morning or after dinner,” Armstrong says, and can adjust around her children’s school and sports schedules. Mothers’ attitudes — both for those who work outside the home and those who don’t — have changed significantly. Among women with children under 18 years old, the proportion of those who say they would prefer to work full time has increased from 20 percent in 2007 to 32 percent last year. When all adults were asked about working moms, however, just 16 percent said the best situation for a young child is to have a mother working full time. Slightly over 40 percent said part time was ideal, and one-third said staying home was best for kids. Guiomar Ochoa, 38, of Chevy Chase, Md., has two young children and works full time. She says she’d rather work part time but says it’s just not an option for her family. “We just can’t afford to not have two full-time incomes,” Ochoa says. “We wouldn’t be able to do it otherwise.” Ochoa, an international specialist with the National Endowment for the

Arts, says she’s doing her best to juggle her career and caring for her children. “I’ve done a really good job of wearing my mom hat when I get home and putting everything aside as far as work goes and focusing on them,” said Ochoa. Most moms in the poll expressed confidence as parents. Nearly threequarters of mothers with children under 18 said they were doing an excellent or very good job raising their children. Fathers were asked that question, too, and 64 percent gave themselves high marks. Other findings in the poll: ■ Roughly half of working mothers and fathers say they would rather be home with their children but work because they need the income. ■ Fifty-six percent of working mothers and 50 percent of working fathers say it’s either very or somewhat difficult for them to balance work and family. ■ Forty percent of working mothers with children under 18 and 34 percent of working fathers say they always feel rushed. The Pew Research findings are based on a survey of 2,511 adults nationwide conducted Nov. 28-Dec. 5. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.

Medical center revives live transplant program BY RUTH INGRAM The Clarion-Ledger

JACKSON — As cameras and microphones edged in and the room grew quiet, University of Mississippi Medical Center transplant surgeon Christopher Anderson turned to face Karen Battle and her new liver. “All right,” he said. “It’s your show.” It was a spotlight moment 22 years in the making. When Battle, a lifelong south Jackson resident, got a new liver earlier this month, it signaled new life not just for the 36-year-old mom, but for UMMC’s longdormant liver transplant program. On Thursday, Battle and two members of her transplant team — Anderson, associate professor of surgery and division chief of transplant and hepatobiliary surgery, and associate professor of medicine and hepatologist Dr. Brian Borg — shared their stories before Battle got to

go home, just 10 days after surgery. “I feel like I’ve won the lottery,” said Battle, sitting in a wheelchair, her hands folded and a soft smile on her face. “I feel like my life is a new adventure.” Two weeks ago in UMMC’s ICU, her kidneys failing and drifting between confusion and unconsciousness, Battle was so gravely ill that Anderson and Borg weren’t sure she’d even be a candidate for a transplant. “She was straddling the fence,” Anderson said. “I had no life,” said Battle, diagnosed in 2009 with autoimmune hepatitis. “I was always physically exhausted.” And then, Anderson’s phone rang shortly after midnight March 4. A matching organ was available. Based on a report of the liver’s condition and knowing that Battle had little time, Anderson said, they said yes to the offer.

The clock was ticking. Anderson even sent his transplant partner, assistant professor of surgery Dr. Mark Earl, to procure the organ, better ensuring its quality and hastening the transplant time line. “A transplant surgery is about 90 percent logistics,” Anderson said. The team was positioned: Doctors. Nurses. Anesthesiologists specially trained for transplant. A plethora of support staff from throughout the hospital. Surgery began before midnight, wrapping up in the wee hours of March 5. Confidentiality rules prevent UMMC from revealing who donated an organ or from where it came. “When we left the OR, I realized she was probably going to do just fine, the way she was looking,” Anderson said. “No one anticipated our first liver transplant to have all of these variables, but it did. It wasn’t a run-of-the-mill

transplant. We were on edge.” Said Borg: “Her case was not the easiest one, but with the help of teamwork, it was a success story. It’s really good to see a person like Karen benefiting from this first surgery.” In August 2011, Anderson left St. Louis’ Barnes Jewish Hospital and the nearby St. Louis Children’s Hospital after being recruited by UMMC to jump-start its liver and kidney transplant programs. UMC’s heart transplant program had been operating for two decades, but there had been no liver transplants since 1991. The kidney program wasn’t meeting demand, with 50-80 performed annually, yet another 100 patients having to leave the state. “In general, the physicians and surgeons required to run a liver program left the university,” Anderson said. “At that

point in time, there must not have been the vision that the program was a priority.” Anderson spent the next year and a half painstakingly recruiting a transplant team and putting in place a support staff. The last regulatory hurdle was cleared in late January with final liver transplant approval from the United Network for Organ Sharing, which governs all organ transplantation in the country. Battle’s care was being handled by doctors at Vanderbilt University in Nashville in the absence of a liver transplant program at UMMC. One of her doctors called him, Anderson said, knowing the UMMC program was reforming. “Would you be willing to see her?” the doctor asked Anderson. Battle was physically and emotionally exhausted. She’d traveled between liver specialists,

most recently at Vanderbilt, but also at Tulane Medical Center and Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. “I said, ‘Of course,”’ Anderson said. The timing was unique. UMMC’s program got the nod from UNOS; Battle’s condition rapidly deteriorated. “God planted them (Anderson and Borg) for me,” Battle said. She longs to meet the family of her donor, whose organs saved not just Battle’s life, but others. “If it wasn’t for this donor and the family giving up this precious gift, I wouldn’t be here,” said Battle, whose father donated his corneas for transplant. Could be, Anderson said, that his team will perform 10-15 liver transplants in 2013. There wasn’t a transplant scheduled on Thursday, but like in Battle’s case, that can change overnight.

Study: Radiation for breast cancer can harm hearts BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later, even with the lower doses used today, troubling new research suggests. The risk comes from any amount of radiation, starts five years after treatment and lasts for decades, doctors found.

Patients shouldn’t panic — radiation has improved cancer survival, and that is the top priority, doctors say. The chance of suffering a radiation-induced heart problem is fairly small. For example, 4 to 5 of every 100 women who are 50 years old and free of heart risks will develop a major cardiac problem by age 80, and radiation treatment would add one

more case, the research suggests. Women also can do a lot to cut their risk by keeping weight, cholesterol and blood pressure under control. Still, the study reveals that the potential harm from radiation runs deeper than many medical experts may have realized, especially for women who already have cardiac risk factors such as diabetes.

cause a heart attack. Women who receive both treatments have both types of risk. The study “will raise the antenna” about the need to do more to prevent this, said Dr. David Slosky, a cardiologist at Vanderbilt University, one of the growing number of medical centers with special “cardio-oncology” programs for cancer survivors. With today’s lower ra-

diation doses, “it is less of a problem, but it is not going away,” he said. The artery-related problems that the study tracked may be just the most visible of many risks because radiation also can cause valve, rhythm and other heart troubles, said Dr. Javid Moslehi. He is co-director of the cardio-oncology program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Mississippi Museum of Art hosts French exhibit BY SHERRY LUCAS The Clarion-Ledger

JACKSON â€” The impression: Youâ€™re walking into a painting. In a Family Corner of the upcoming major French painting exhibition at the Mississippi Museum of Art, artist Ginger Williams-Cook has re-created a Renoir painting of Monetâ€™s gardens to give pint-sized creators a pretend shot at the easel, beret included. The wall-sized work is just one of the preparations under way at the museum, where â€œOld Masters to Monet: Three Centuries of French Painting from the Wadsworth Atheneumâ€? opens March 23 and remains on display through Sept. 8. The paintings themselves, 50 masterpieces boasting a bounty of household art names, are

expected in town soon. Works by Cezanne, Degas, van Gogh, Monet and more are included in the exhibition, 13th in the Annie Laurie Swaim Hearin Memorial Exhibition Series. Also on display in the Barksdale Galleries, March 23-June 22, will be â€œSymbols of Faith, Home and Beyond: The Art of Theora Hamblett.â€? Williams-Cook, master teaching artist at the museum, was tasked with â€œdoing my best recreationâ€? of Renoirâ€™s work. â€œNo pressure there, right?â€? she quipped. No projector was used. Working from a color Xerox, now wrinkled and smudged, she enlarged Renoirâ€™s image for the installation piece, omitting the image of Monet (for whom visitors will be able to stand-in). A piece of bamboo, 8

feet long with a piece of charcoal attached with masking tape, became her drawing pole, to eliminate yo-yo-ing on the ladder, keep some distance for the big picture and preserve sketchy lines and movement, she said. Layering of color was handled in a similar way, from broad and brushy dark strokes of underpainting to the linear patterns, color and contrast. â€œI used a sponge to diffuse light a little bit. Because in this painting, itâ€™s probably late afternoon,â€? Williams-Cook said. â€œI had to consider direction of light and all of that. â€œItâ€™s pretty tricky to try to re-create a Renoir,â€? she said, â€œcapturing the play of light, softness and gesture of nature.â€? She jumped into construction, too, creating threedimensional elements

â€” tree and shrub cutouts and a weathered white picket fence â€” that will flesh out the illusion and invite viewers in. The exhibition covers art history at a time when the worldâ€™s art capital shifted from Rome to Paris. â€œWeâ€™re only getting 50 paintings, but they actually do tell the story of art history from the 1600s until the early 20th century,â€? said Robin Dietrick, who organized and designed â€œOld Masters to Monetâ€? and the Theora Hamblett exhibitions for presentation in Jackson. â€œBecause all of these are French pieces, you actually are following the history of art history for 300 years.â€? Baroque, rococo, neoclassical, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements are included. â€œPost-Impressionism

at the beginning of the 20th century ultimately led to what we know as modern art.â€? Most of the showâ€™s name-dropping potential is concentrated in the Impressionist and PostImpressionist periods â€” Monet (a depiction of his water lilies), Cezanne, Pissaro, Degas, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, van Gogh (a self-portrait). â€œJust about, if you can name a French artist of the time, weâ€™ve got them,â€? Dietrick said. â€œThis is just such an impressive collection that rarely travels, that we seized the opportunity to get it and bring it here,â€? museum director Betsy Bradley said. â€œWe knew that Mississippians would want to see some of these iconic works that donâ€™t travel much.â€? The exhibition was

organized by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Conn., the first public art institution in the United States. That museum, in the midst of some construction projects, mounted a big exhibition of these works in their galleries, then sent them on the road, Bradley said. The exhibition travels to Denver next. Related programming during the exhibitionâ€™s run will include lectures and a May 9 Mississippi Symphony Orchestra concert of 17th to 19th century French music in the Art Garden. â– â– â–

Recordings: President Nixon wished for total handgun ban BY FREDERIC J. FROMMER Associated Press

WASHINGTON â€” Few presidents in modern times have been as interested in gun control as Richard Nixon, of all people. He proposed ridding the market of Saturday night specials, contemplated banning handguns altogether and refused to pander to gun owners by feigning interest in their weapons. Several previously unreported Oval Office recordings and White House memos from the Nixon years show a conservative president who at times appeared willing to take on the National Rifle Association, a powerful gun lobby then as now, even as his aides worried about the political ramifications. â€œI donâ€™t know why any individual should have a right to have a revolver in his house,â€? Nixon said in a taped conversation with aides. â€œThe kids usually kill themselves with it and so forth.â€? He asked why â€œcanâ€™t we go after handguns, period?â€? Nixon went on: â€œI know the rifle association will be against it, the gun makers will be against it.â€? But â€œpeople should not have handguns.â€? Nixon made his remarks in the Oval Office on May 16, 1972, the day after a would-be assassin shot and paralyzed segregationist presidential candidate George Wallace. As president, Nixon never publicly called for a ban on all handguns. Instead, he urged Congress to pass more modest legislation banning Saturday night specials, which were cheaply made, easily concealed and often used by criminals. Not all of the presidentâ€™s men appeared to

share his passion on the issue. The recordings and memos show that Nixon administration officials saw gun control as a political loser. Nixon, a Republican, did say publicly that if Congress passed a ban on Saturday night specials, he would sign it. But in a sign of how potent the NRA was even 40 years ago, this narrow piece of legislation never made it to his desk, and there is no sign that he ever sent a draft bill to Capitol Hill. Today, President Barack Obama faces similar hurdles in trying to ban assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines. Gun control advocates say no one needs such powerful weapons to kill an intruder or take down an animal. In Nixonâ€™s time, the argument of such advocates was that Saturday night specials were too poorly made to be relied on for self-defense or hunting. â€œLet me ask you,â€? Nixon said to Attorney General John Mitchell in June 1971, â€œthere is only one thing you are checking on, thatâ€™s the manufacture of those $20 guns? We should probably stop that.â€? Saturday night specials sold for $10 to $30 at the time. Mitchell responded that banning those guns would be â€œpretty difficult, actually,â€? because of the gun lobby. â€œNo hunters are going to use $20 guns,â€? Nixon countered. â€œNo, but the gun lobbyâ€™s against any incursion into the elimination of firearms,â€? said Mitchell. The term Saturday night special originated in Detroit, where police observed the frequency with which the guns were used to commit weekend mayhem. Lynyrd Skynyrd memorialized the weapon

â€œI donâ€™t know why any individual should have a right to have a revolver in his house The kids usually kill themselves with it and so forth. ... (why) canâ€™t we go after handguns, period?â€? President Richard Nixon In taped conversation with aides in its 1975 song, â€œSaturday Night Special,â€? in which the Southern rock band sang: â€œAinâ€™t good for nothinâ€™/But put a man six feet in a hole.â€? Nixonâ€™s private comments were not always supportive of gun control, particularly measures that would go beyond handguns. For example, in a taped conversation just a few days after saying that people shouldnâ€™t have handguns, the president asked rhetorically, â€œWhat do they want to do, just disarm the populace? Disarm the good folks and leave the arms in the hands of criminals?â€? But most of his comments on the tapes, available at the websites of the National Archives and of the University of Virginiaâ€™s Miller Center, were in favor of stronger gun control. At a June 29, 1972, news conference, about six weeks after Wallaceâ€™s shooting, Nixon said heâ€™d sign legislation banning Saturday night specials. Later that year, the Senate did pass such a bill, but the House never acted on the legislation. The shooting of another politician put gun control back on the radar the following year. On Jan. 30, 1973, two robbers shot Sen. John Stennis, DMiss., and surgeons initially thought he would die. Stennis survived and lived until 1995. The day of the shooting,

Nixon told White House special counsel Charles Colson, â€œAt least I hope that Saturday night special legislation, at least weâ€™re supporting that, you know. Weâ€™re not for gun control generally, but we are for that. God damn it that ought to be passed. Or was it passed?â€? When Colson told him it hadnâ€™t, Nixon told his counsel, â€œWe better damn well be for it now, huh?â€?

At a news conference the next day, the president repeated his call to ban Saturday night specials. He also volunteered a comment that few national politicians would make today: â€œLet me say, personally, I have never hunted in my life. I have no interest in guns and so forth.â€? By March 1973, aide John Ehrlichman was telling Nixon that gun control was a â€œloser issue for us.â€? Other White House officials also argued against doing much, including Tom C. Korologos, a White House deputy assistant for legislative affairs who later was an outside lobbyist for the NRA and ambassador to Belgium under President George W. Bush. â€œThe thing that worries me is that the presi-

dentâ€™s hard-core support comes from the gun-folk and obviously we need support these days,â€? Korologos wrote in an Aug. 31, 1973, memo, referring to the Watergate scandal that would undo Nixonâ€™s presidency. â€œLurking in the background is the presidentâ€™s personal statement: â€˜Iâ€™m a liberal on gun control,â€?â€™ Korologos said. Nixon might have made this statement privately; there is no record of him saying it publicly. Korologosâ€™ conclusion: â€œI vote for a â€˜talkâ€™ meeting and then â€˜tough it outâ€™ by doing nothing and hope nobody gets shot in the next three years.â€? The effort to ban Saturday night specials receded in recent decades as the focus of gun control advocates shifted to rein in more powerful weapons.

Tycoon wants to send married couple on Mars flyby BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON â€” Itâ€™s a road trip that could test the best of marriages: Mars. A tycoon has announced plans to send a middle-aged couple on a privately built spaceship to slingshot around the red planet and come back home, hopefully with their bodies and marriage in one piece after 501 days of no-escape togetherness in a cramped capsule half the size of an RV. Under the audacious but bare-bones plan, the spacecraft would blast off less than five years from now and pass within 100 miles of the Martian surface. The cost was not disclosed, but outsiders put it at more than $1 billion. The team of space veterans behind the project hasnâ€™t quite figured out the technical details of the rocket they will use or the capsule the husband-andwife astronauts will live in during the 16-month voyage. But they know it will be an adventure not for the weak of body or heart. â€œThis is not going to be an easy mission,â€? chief technical officer and po-

tential crew member Taber MacCallum said. â€œWe called it the Lewis and Clark trip to Mars.â€? The trying circumstances include: no showers, limits on toilet paper and clothing, drinking water made from the crew membersâ€™ recycled urine and sweat, and almost no privacy. But the flight also comes with never-beforeseen views of Mars. And thereâ€™s ample time for zero-gravity sex in space, something NASA doesnâ€™t like to talk about. As for why a man and a woman will be selected, â€œthis is very symbolic and we really need it to represent humanity,â€? MacCallum said. He said if it is a man and a woman on such a long, close-quarters voyage, it makes sense for them to be married so that they can give each other the emotional support they will probably need when they look out the window and see Earth get smaller and more distant: â€œIf thatâ€™s not scary, I donâ€™t know what is.â€? The private, nonprofit project, called Inspiration Mars, will get initial money from NASA engineer-

turned-multimillionaire investment consultant Dennis Tito, the first space tourist. The organizers hope to raise the rest through donations, advertising and media partnerships. NASA will not be involved. Instead, the projectâ€™s backers intend to use a ship built by other aerospace companies, employing an austere design that could take people to Mars for a fraction of what it would cost NASA to do with robots, officials said. Even though some of the hardware hasnâ€™t even been built, Tito said he is confident everything will come together by 2018 with no test flights. It will be a strippeddown mission when it comes to automation and complexity, meaning the couple will have to fix things on the fly like TVâ€™s MacGyver and do more piloting than on NASA vehicles, said chief medical officer Jonathan Clark. The flight is timed to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation close approach of the two planetsâ€™ orbits. The timeline calls for launch on

Jan. 5, 2018, the Mars flyby on Aug. 20, 2018, and a return to Earth on May 21, 2019. It involves huge risk, more than a government agency like NASA would normally permit, officials concede. For example, the spaceship will fly during a period when galactic cosmic rays will be high because of the sunspot cycle. That will increase the crewâ€™s cancer risk by about 3 percent, which is more than on any NASA mission, Clark said. The ship would also reenter Earthâ€™s atmosphere at twice the speed of ordinary space capsules, something Tito said still needs to be worked out. â€œLife is risky,â€? said Clark, a former NASA flight surgeon whose astronaut wife died in the 2003 space shuttle Columbia accident. â€œAnything thatâ€™s worth it is worth putting it all at stake for.â€? What may be most at stake is the crew membersâ€™ marriage. The couple will be selected within a year. MacCallum and his wife, Jane Poynter, hope to be picked. They were

a couple when they participated in Biosphere 2, a sort of giant terrarium that was supposed to replicate a mission on another planet. Poynter said it was such a fraught experience psychologically that some participants wouldnâ€™t talk to each other for most of the two years. But MacCallum said it brought him and Poynter closer together. He said the right couple going to Mars, if screened and counseled ahead of time, would come back with a stronger marriage. Poynter said the husband and wife need to be even-tempered. Clark said they should be postchildbearing age because of exposure to radiation. Poynter is 50, MacCallum 48. For the 30 years NASA has been flying men and women, it has avoided the question of sex in space. MacCallum said it will happen: â€œItâ€™s a man and wife. Private time. Let your imagination run wild.â€? In a statement, NASA spokesman David Steitz said the venture validates President Barack

Obamaâ€™s decision to rely more on private sector ingenuity to explore space, and is â€œa testament to the audacity of Americaâ€™s commercial aerospace industry and the adventurous spirit of Americaâ€™s citizen-explorers.â€? He said â€œNASA will continue discussions with Inspiration Mars to see how the agency might collaborate on mutually beneficial activities.â€? Stanford University professor Scott Hubbard, NASAâ€™s former Mars mission chief, said the teamâ€™s technical paper outlining the flight is â€œlong on inspiration, short on technical details. What is there is correct.â€? Other outside experts praised the expertise of the team but worried about the lack of testing. Former astronaut and current MIT aerospace engineering professor Jeff Hoffman said: â€œSince they donâ€™t plan to land on Mars, itâ€™s really a question of keeping people alive for 501 days in space, which is not an impossible task.â€?

On edge at times, Newtown elementary school tries to cope BY JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN Associated Press

NEWTOWN, Conn. â€” They relocated the entire student body to a new school unstained by blood. They brought in counselors to soothe shattered nerves, and parents to comfort the distraught. But authorities know they cannot erase the lingering effects of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School â€” students and faculty members still on edge, still traumatized by the sounds of gunshots and by the horrors they survived. In the new school building in the neighboring town of Monroe, police remain a presence. Signs ask people to close doors softly and not to drag objects across the floor. â€œThere are reactions to noises, doors slamming, things being dropped have a strong startled response,â€? said Newtown School Superintendent Janet Robinson. â€œWeâ€™re really just trying to have the whole school be as calm as possible.â€? A group of Sandy Hook Elementary School third-graders attending a Brownie meeting on a recent day heard a loud

noise and looked around nervously. Though the troop leader assured them it was probably just someone pushing a cart, one girl began to cry. â€œYou can tell that every little sound that is made in that school, the kids are still extremely scared,â€? said Brenda Lebinski, parent of a third-grader who witnessed the episode. At home, Robinson said, parents say children have cried and asked, â€œIs the bad man coming back?â€? Parents have been volunteering as hall monitors and aides to help comfort the students. Teachers, still coping with their own trauma, also struggle to make the children feel safe. â€œI think theyâ€™re exhausted, mentally, physically,â€? said Wendy Davenson, a therapist working with school staff. â€œIt takes ages to create a safe environment after something like this. I think the teachers are trying so hard to do that for the students and yet some of them may not really feel particularly safe either.â€? On the morning of Dec. 14, a 20-year-old gunman entered the school and slaughtered

â€œIt takes ages to create a safe environment after something like this. I think the teachers are trying so hard to do that for the students and yet some of them may not really feel particularly safe either.â€? Wendy Davenson Therapist working with Sandy Hook staff 20 first-graders and six staff members before killing himself. Gunshots resounded through the school on the public address system; teachers hid with students in classrooms until they were rescued by police, and some passed the carnage on their way out. When the students returned to school on Jan. 3, it was in a different building â€” the former Chalk Hill Middle School. It had been refurbished, and desks and other equipment were brought in from Sandy Hook. But there was no way to pretend that the shootings did not happen. Kiki Leyba, a teacher who survived the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, spoke last month to about a dozen Sandy Hook staff

members. Leyba said he told them how he couldnâ€™t sleep, jumped at noises and looked for exits wherever he went, even church. Sandy Hook educators shared similar experiences, describing how they were jumpy around noises and had trouble sleeping and concentrating, Leyba said. â€œI just canâ€™t say it strongly enough, if they spare no expense taking care of that staff, no one will ever regret it,â€? he said. â€œThe students will feel the benefits of that, the parents will feel the benefits of that. That staff is so traumatized.â€? Mental health services have been available from the beginning and will continue to be offered, Robinson said. Specialists trained in child trauma

Legal Scene

have been brought in, she said. A few teachers have taken short periods of time off. â€œWe understand that this is a trauma that people take different lengths of time to get over and it may re-occur with some memory, so weâ€™re trying to be very understanding about that,â€? Robinson said. Survivors of such shootings can experience nightmares, flashbacks, hyper-vigilance in which they are constantly on the lookout for danger and startled responses, said Russell Jones, a psychology professor at Virginia Tech who counseled survivors of a mass shooting at his school. Between 8 to 15 percent of those who experience traumas such as mass shootings develop PTSD, but about half of them no longer have the symptoms after three months, he said. Sounds and smells associated with mass shootings can bring back memories of the horror, said Carolyn Mears, author of the book â€œReclaiming School in the Aftermath of Trauma.â€? Mears, whose son survived the Columbine shooting, said the high school for years had a

sign on its entrance declaring the building a balloon-free school because the popping of balloons sounded like the echo of gunfire. The school also changed the sound of its fire alarm so that students and staff would not be reminded of the sound from the shooting, she said. Brenda Lebinski said sheâ€™s heard from other parents that some children have outbursts they never had before. When she hears gunshots on TV, Lebinskiâ€™s daughter tells her mother to turn it off immediately. Lebinski is coping by keeping her daughter busy with sports and other activities. Another parent of a survivor, Stephen Delgiudice, said his 8-yearold daughter doesnâ€™t talk about the shooting, but appears to be doing well. â€œThe transition has been really nice. Theyâ€™ve done everything one can imagine for the kids,â€? Delgiudice said. â€œSo far weâ€™re very pleased with the security at the school.â€? He himself turned to acupuncture and counseling to help him deal with the anger he felt. â€œHow could someone do this to these children?â€? Delgiadice said. â€œHow could this happen?â€?

Interior pick puts outdoor industry in spotlight BY PAUL FOY AND NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — She doesn’t wear a cowboy hat favored by traditional picks for interior secretary. Sally Jewell prefers fleece and Gore-Tex jackets and wears a safety helmet when she needs it for scaling cliffs, skiing or kayaking. Jewell, the 57-yearold chief of Recreational Equipment Inc., represents a new face for a cabinet post more often associated with ranching or oil, gas and mining development. The fact that a mountain-climbing CEO of an outdoors company is President Barack Obama’s nominee underscores a new reality in Washington and beyond: the growing influence of outdoor recreation as a political and economic force. “It’s a total gamechanger — a recognition of changes in how public lands are used,” said Peter Metcalf, president and CEO of Salt Lake Citybased Black Diamond Inc., a maker of ski and climbing gear and apparel. “Politics in Washington have finally caught up with reality.” While past interior secretaries have ranged from conservationists, like former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt, to allies of industry like Reagan’s first Interior Secretary James G. Watt, they always have been challenged by the competing forces that want to use the federal government’s vast lands. That tension doesn’t figure to ease under Jewell, who faced her first Senate hearing Thursday and is expected to be confirmed in coming weeks. Critics complain that the outdoor industry has worked to lock up valuable lands and stymie

development in the West. Though oil and gas trade groups aren’t opposing Jewell, the nomination of a woman who has a led a recreation-focused company with 128 stores in 31 states alarms some who argue that she might favor her own industry over others. Rep. Rob Bishop, RUtah said the recreation industry is “a special interest group like any other .... They have clearly wanted their industry to have a primary position on certain pieces of land.” At Thursday’s hearing, Jewell cited federal statistics showing that the Interior Department generated more than $12 billion in revenue from energy production last year, and that visitors to national parks generated an estimated $30 billion in economic activity. “These are impressive numbers. They underscore the important balance that the Department of the Interior must maintain to ensure that our public lands and waters are managed wisely, using the best science available, to harness their economic potential while preserving their multiple uses for future generations,” she said. Jewell, who also has experience in the oil industry and as a banker, already has been tested with demands as she prepares to take over the department, which manages 780,000 square miles of public lands, including the national parks. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski threatened to hold up Jewell’s nomination if the Obama administration refuses to approve a road to an all-weather airport across a wildlife refuge in the Aleutian Islands. Murkowski called Jewell into her Washington

“It’s a total game-changer — a recognition of changes in how public lands are used. Politics in Washington have finally caught up with reality.” Peter Metcalf President and CEO of Salt Lake City-based Black Diamond Inc.

“Our industry is often overlooked because of how diverse and broad it is. It’s not a normal economic sector. We’re a horizontal industry that touches many traditional economic sectors.” Frank Hugelmeyer OIA president

office Feb. 27 on the demand, but said she’s expecting departing interior secretary Ken Salazar to give the approval before he leaves office. It wasn’t long ago that that the notion of the outdoors industry holding major political clout would have been difficult to imagine. “We’ve always thought the outdoor sector was important. It’s just getting others to recognize it that was the challenge,” said Sue Rechner, chief of Confluence Watersports, a Greenville, S.C., maker of Mad River canoes and other watersports brands. Outdoor executives acknowledge they were somewhat naive when they started in politics. They first tried to lobby members of Congress by giving ice-ax awards — that didn’t cut it, said Metcalf, one of the industry’s most active and passionate voices. “Some of the feedback we began to get back was, ‘By the way, this is Washington, D.C. Money talks. Nice to hear from you, but I got a campaign to run,”’ he said. “So we began making contributions. It was clear if there wasn’t any money behind it, we were compromising ourselves.” Industry officials say Americans spend $646 billion a year on outdoor gear and apparel, off-road vehicles and travel and services, creating 6.1 mil-

lion professional and seasonal jobs. Many American brands dominate the global marketplace for outdoor equipment. In Washington, the 4,000-member Outdoor Industry Association tripled its PAC contributions in 2012 to nearly $90,000, according to data compiled by opensecrets.org. The industry spends around $300,000 a year on lobbying, but says it didn’t push for Jewell’s nomination and that she earned it on her own. In Utah, the OIA pressured the state’s Republican governor to treat outdoor recreation seriously by threatening to pull a lucrative trade show out of Salt Lake City. They have helped fund nonprofits that push for increased land preservation, sometimes butting heads with energy groups seeking to drill on federal lands. “This is an economic engine, not just a bunch of guys trying to protect the land,” said Mike Reberg, district director for Rep. Jim Matheson, DUtah. “They created an economic perspective on why this stuff is important.” Lobbying disclosures show the OIA’s leading issues are protecting wilderness lands and full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Act, which steers money from offshore oil leases to rec-

reation programs. It has teamed up with other industry players to push for a repeal of the 1930s tariff on imported shoes. “Our industry is often overlooked because of how diverse and broad it is. It’s not a normal economic sector,” said Frank Hugelmeyer, OIA’s president. “We’re a horizontal industry that touches many traditional economic sectors.” Beyond her executive experience, it was Jewell’s work on the board of the National Parks Conservation Association and for President Barack Obama’s “America’s Great Outdoors Initiative” brought her leadership to the attention of the White House. “She knows the link between conservation and good jobs,” Obama said at a White House ceremony Feb. 6. “She knows that there’s no contradiction.” Jewell is inspirational, “mission-driven” and a consensus builder who nearly doubled REI’s revenues to $1.8 billion since joining REI in 2000 and will raise the profile of the industry, said company chairman John Hamlin, managing partner of the private-equity firm Bozeman Limited Partnership. Among the issues Jewell will need to navigate is the collision between a record-setting energy boom — which has led to sharply increased drilling

over the past decade — and the desire of western communities to lure tourists and information-age workers who want to be able to play outdoors, using the gear the industry makes. Kathleen Sgamma, vice president of government and public affairs for the Western Energy Alliance, said she’s baffled at the hostility to energy exploration among the outdoor recreation industry. “They’re not transporting their products via windmills,” she said. “Their customers wouldn’t be able to use all that gear in the mountains without driving in their cars.” Bishop complained that REI has pushed for America’s Redrock Wilderness Act, a bill that has languished in Congress for years without action because of the Utah delegation’s opposition. It also helped fund nonprofits who sued to stop the Bush administration’s award of 77 oil and gas leases on Utah land in 2008. He scoffed at those who argue that the West can prosper from the recreation economy. “Recreation is a great element but it’s only one of the elements you need,” Bishop said. “It is extremely volatile. You need a good industrial sector. You need a good manufacturing sector. You need a good mining sector.”
