Bank robbery suspect goes to trial

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

An Alabama man charged in the robbery of four area banks, including the Renasant Bank branches in downtown Iuka and Booneville, will face trial in federal court next month.

The trial of Brian Perry Jones of Toney, Ala. is set to begin April 1 at 9:30 a.m. in U.S. Dis-

trict Court in Oxford under an order filed earlier this month.

Jones was charged last November with four counts of bank robbery by force or violence for robberies of Renasant Bank branches in Booneville, Iuka and Tupelo. He has pleaded not guilty to all four counts and remains jailed without bond.

The robbery spree began with the Aug. 16, 2012 robbery of the Renasant Bank office on Constitution Drive in Iuka. The next robbery occurred on Sept.

21 when Jones is accused of robbing the Renasant branch on Veterans Drive in Tupelo.

On Nov. 16 he is accused of walking into Renasant Bank’s main office in downtown Boon-

and Tishomingo County deputies spotted a vehicle matching the vehicle on the Natchez Trace Parkway near the Mississippi/Alabama line.

Jones faces up to 20 years in prison, up to three years postrelease supervision and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count of the indictment if convicted.

He was arrested Nov. 19 following the robbery of the Renasant Bank office on North Gloster Street in Tupelo near the Mall at Barnes Crossing. The arrest came after a witness was able to provide a description of a vehicle used in the robbery

The three Marines killed were part of the staff at the officer training school on the sprawling Marine Corps Base Quantico in northern Virginia.

said the former accounting manager at Mississippi Polymers. “I want to see it keep growing.�

The 40-year-old will assume the title of tourism director on April 3. Burns, the former owner of Waldron Street Market in downtown, has been a life-

long resident of Alcorn County.

The 23-year-old U.S. Marine killed in a shooting at a Virginia Marine training school is remembered locally as a good friend and for his dedication to serving others.

Alcorn County native Jacob Wooley was one of three Marines killed in a shooting at Marine Corps Base Quantico late Thursday. According to base officials, a male and female soldier were killed before a shooter ended his own life in a barracks dormitory.

The military had yet to publically announced the names of the victims on Saturday, nor any results of an ongoing investigation.

Central Pentecostal Church Pastor Terry Harmon knew Wooley as a youth and has remained in contact with the family over the years. “I do know from what everybody has said, he had always wanted to go serve his country,� said Harmon. “He was also part of the Farmington Volunteer Fire Department. He had a passion to help people.�

Corinth resident Christine Sellers is the stepmother of Wooley’s best friend, Zack Sellers. She said her son and Wooley were always at one or the other’s house. “He was a good ol’ southern

Best general manager Steven Hodnett, general manager of McAlister’s Deli on South Harper Road in Corinth, was recently awarded General Manager of the Year for Southern Rock Restaurants, a franchisee operating in three states. The award earned him among other things an electric guitar signed by his favorite guitarist as well as recognition from McAlister’s Deli Inc., which invited him and his wife for a cruise. David Blackburn, owner of Southern Rock Restaurants, said, “I couldn’t be more proud of Steven and his hard work to win the loyalty of so many folks in the Corinth community. His commitment to service, quality and knowing his guests has set the bar high for the others in our organization.”

Children’s Research Hospital.

“The kids have been wanting to know when they could ride their bikes all week,” said school director Tina Crigger.

School children were taught important toy-riding safety lessons a week leading up to the event.

Animated characters such as Bikewell Bear and Pedals the Bunny took the youngsters through four safety lessons: always wear a helmet, never ride in the street, be careful near driveways and watch where you are going.

At the end of the week, children brought their trikes or riding toys along

with helmets to practice the rules they learned.

“Stickers were handed out each day the four lessons were completed,” added Crigger.

Thirty-five kids took part in helping to raise money for the research and treatments of ill children at the hospital. Last year over $3,700 was collected during the Oakland Trike-A-Thon.

St. Jude depends on donors. The daily operations cost is $1.7 million with public donations providing more than 70 percent of the funding.

Children are able to earn prizes such as a Tshirt, Bikewell Bear hand puppet or Bikewell Bear umbrella.

Alcorn Honor Choir performs concert today

Today in History

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Palm Sunday, March 24, the 83rd day of 2013. There are 282 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 24, 1913, New York’s Palace Theatre, the legendary home of vaudeville, opened on Broadway.

On this date: In 1765, Britain enacted the Quartering Act, requiring American colonists to provide temporary housing to British soldiers.

In 1832, a mob in Hiram, Ohio, attacked, tarred and feathered Mormon leaders Joseph Smith Jr. and Sidney Rigdon.

In 1882, German scientist Robert Koch (kohk) announced in Berlin that he had discovered the bacillus responsible for tuberculosis.

In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill granting future independence to the Philippines.

The Alcorn School District Honor Choir concert begins at 2 p.m. today at Tate Baptist Church.

The Honor Choir is composed of 52 local students chosen from all of the elementary

schools and middle schools in the the Alcorn School District.

Honor Choir members practiced after school Thursday, all day Friday and all day Saturday to prepare for today’s concert, said Bethany Cheaves, the Honor Choir teacher for Big-

gersville and Rienzi.

The concert will include songs from a variety of styles with different instrumental accompaniment, including the old folk song “All Things Shall Perish.”

Cheaves said Honor Choir teachers are very happy with the hard

work done by the students in the group.

“We’ve done things differently this year, and we’re really impressed with how it has turned out. We’ve done a lot in a few days, and it’s turned out better,” said Cheaves. “We’ve got some dedicated, well

behaved, very respectful students. It’s a great group of kids.”

Other Honor Choir teachers include Nancy Harvell (Kossuth) and Tina Downs (Alcorn Central, Glen).

Although admission is free, donations will be accepted.

wellness of the school in my first year,” said Glendale Principal Brian Phelps. “The mentoring program has been a tremendous help.”

ACMS received funds as part of its Health Plan through HealthWorks.

In the plan, ACMS submitted a plan on how to be more healthier overall as a school.

The goal of both schools was to attain the knowledge and skills necessary to make healthy choices that promote healthy lifestyles. Schools staffs were encouraged to model healthful eating and physical activity as a valuable part of daily life.

“Getting our teachers involved was a plus for us,” said ACMS Assistant Principal Nellie Massen-

gill. “When teachers pick up on it students begin to pick up on it.”

Throughout the year, the two schools have incorporated fun activities to help promote a healthy school. One incentive Glendale is using is a short dance time at any time during the day.

“I can put on a song and they will be allowed to get up and dance as part of staying active,” said Phelps. “The kids don’t know what day or the time of day that I will do it … they like it so much that they want to be at school and they encourage other students to be here also.”

Massengill said the plan is to have students doing something.

“We want them mov-

ing and not just sitting,” she said.

That’s also the goal of HealthWorks.

“It has become apparent that problems such as poor nutrition and lack of physical activity can adversely affect not only a child’s health but their ability to learn,” said Tucker. “If children are to successful in school, they can’t be tired, hungry, sick, suffering from drug abuse or worried that school in an unsafe environment.”

HealthWorks is able to work with school health councils through grants to build and strengthen the councils, implement action plans, and create wellness policies.

Glendale and Alcorn Middle will be able to use

the money in the eight areas of: ■ School Health and Safety Policies and Environment ■ Health Education ■ Physical Education and other Physical Activity Programs ■ Nutrition Services ■ Health Services ■ Counseling, Psychological and Social Services ■ Health Promotion for Staff ■ Family and Community Involvement “I am tickled to death with the HealthWorks’ program,” said Smith.

“Students are now provided with a healthier background and I am excited to see the money used for the good health of the children.”

“I am ready to get the information out here on how great this town is,” she stated. “Tourism is

a function of growth and I am excited to see how much we grow over the years to come.”

cessful district,” HealthWorks’ Kathy Tucker told the board and superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Students who are more fit have proven to perform better on tests.”

Glendale has completed HealthWorks’ School Health Council Mentoring Program.

The program, supported and funded by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Of Mississippi Foundation, partners with 10 schools each year to provide personal guided assistance in forming an effective, productive and sustainable school health councils.

ism while at the Waldron Street Market,” said Burns, who is married to husband Bobby. “I think it all comes down to how you market the city.”

Burns has a strong resume in budgeting and cross-department project management from her work at Mississippi Polymers and the Waldron Street Market.

“I am looking forward to learning the market and seeing what others ways I can draw people to Corinth,” said the Kossuth graduate.

The new director has been part of the Main Street Corinth Board, Junior Auxiliary and numerous other community and school activities.

“Bobby and I love being around people,” she said.

“Anything the kids are involved with, we are usually right behind them.”

Burns is hoping to rely more on social media to draw tourists while educating locals on how much the area has to offer.

“We can do a lot through social media …

people who are looking for things to do today are going to websites to see what is happening,” said Burns. “Education is also important to let others see what is going on in their town.”

Burns said she wasn’t discouraged about the job even though the office has seen numerous changes over the last two months.

“I have always wanted to be involved in the community,” she said. “This wasn’t on my radar, but I am excited to be in the

position … this was a good time to jump in with everyone on the same learning curve and I think we are all headed in the same direction.”

Making adjustments is part of the job, according to Burns.

“I was continuously making them at my previous jobs,” said the Ole Miss grad. “You have to work with what you have and go forward … sometimes that requires thinking outside the box.”

Although she doesn’t

officially start until April, Burns is ready to start selling what the city and county has.

Deadlines are looming in the House, Senate

BY CLAYTON STANLEY Columnist

While the last day of the session, commonly referred to as Sine Die, is technically April 7, legislative rules require that all spending bills be adopted five days prior to Sine Die. This means the last real work day will be one week from tomorrow.

With deadlines looming the House and Senate spent much of this past week considering items on the Concurrence or Non-concurrence Calendar. These bills were passed out of the original chamber and sent to the other chamber where they were amended or changed in some way. Since the language was changed from what was originally passed, the bill goes back to the originating chamber where members can elect to concur or not concur.

By concurring, members accept the changes made by the opposing house and send the bill directly to the governor for his signature. The alternative is to not concur and invite conference. When a bill goes to conference, it is worked on further by three members from the House and Senate tasked with reaching a compromise agreeable to both chambers.

The larger policy issues, including the entire budget, will be decided over the next week in the conference process.

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee met on Thursday in advance of the upcoming conference week. Committee members heard from the state’s economist and fiscal officer who recommended adding to $60 million to current fiscal year’s revenue estimates and $97 million to the 2014 estimate.

After hearing the recommendation, members elected to accept the 2014 recommendation, but not the recommendation for 2013. Lt. Governor Tate Reeves led the opposition to the 2013 increase citing that the state’s economy is “fragile” and he worries the state might not collect the additional $60 million with just four months left in the fiscal year.

Members generally agreed that report was good news for the state -- suggesting Mississippi’s economy appears to have stabilized.

Budget writers must consider requests from the state agencies that far exceed revenue projections. This process will not be easy and will likely extend into Easter weekend in order to finish before the constitutional deadlines. The additional $97 million for 2014 will certainly help.

The House and Senate reconvene at 4 p.m.

Monday for the final sprint of the 2013 session.

State isn’t immune from college tuition trends Higher education in Mississippi has not been immune from national trends cited in a recent Center on Budget and Policy Priorities report which concludes that over the last five years, the global economic downturn and a “no new taxes” political climate have increasingly shifted the burden of higher education finance to students and parents at a time when enrollment is increasing and the percentage of state support is decreasing.

As one who has for more than three decades studied and consumed a lot of think-tank public policy white papers, I have learned to take those studies with a grain of philosophical salt and to pay attention to the source of the numbers and the conclusions drawn from them. Without question, the CBPP is a liberal organization that focuses their research on issues that impact low-income populations.

But that philosophical background duly noted, the CBPP’s numbers are usually above reproach. The CBPP’s numbers on the topic of how U.S. states are handling higher education finance over the last five years – adjusted for infla-

tion – are as follows: The report cites that national averages show states are Sid Salter s p e n d i n g or Columnist $2,353 28 percent less per student on higher education in the current 2013 fiscal year than they did in 2008, when the recession hit. In addition, the report indicates that every state except for North Dakota and Wyoming is spending less per student on higher education than they did prior to the recession.

CBPP researchers conclude that 11 states have cut funding by more than onethird per student, and two states — Arizona and New Hampshire — have cut their higher education spending per student in half.

What do the numbers reflect for Mississippi in the report? The CBPP report cites that the decrease in state spending per student in Mississippi over the period from Fiscal Year 2008 to FY 2013 — again with researchers adjusting for inflation — is $3,146 per student or down 32.4 percent.

At the same time that Mississippi is part of a national trend of declining percentages of state support for higher education, the state is likewise part of a corresponding national trend of escalating tuition.

The CBPP report finds that nationally “average annual published tuition at fouryear public colleges has grown by $1,850, or 27 percent, in real terms between the 2007-08 school year, the year just prior to the recession, and the current 2012-13 school year.”

What about Mississippi?

The report identifies Mississippi’s overall growth in tuition – adjusted for inflation – over the same fiveyear period as increasing by an average 17.5 percent or an average $915.

Perhaps the most germane numbers cited in the report has to do with access to higher education in Mississippi, which still struggles as the poorest state in the union. The CBPP report cites a national shift over the last 25 years in responsibility for funding higher education from the state to the students.

From 1987 through 2012, the CBPP report examined total educational revenues

— tuition plus state/local government appropriations — made available from the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association that reflected nationally that students were bearing 23 percent of the cost of funding higher education in 1987. That percentage had grown to just over 46 percent by 2012.

It is a myth to suggest that all good jobs in the nation’s evolving economy require a college education. We all know exceptions to that rule among Mississippi’s skilled workers in trades and craft — and the behemoth economic engine of small businesses and sole proprietorships.

Education has an intrinsic value. But another study — this one by the Brookings Institution — shows that a young college graduate earns $12,000 more per year than someone who did not attend college. In the state with the lowest per capita income, isn’t that the bottom line when evaluating strategies to move the state’s economic needle forward?

Obama’s flight of fancy about the Middle East President Obama should listen to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the “founder” of shuttle diplomacy.

Kissinger told Bloomberg TV’s Judy Woodruff recently that he sees little hope in the “Arab Spring,” nor is he optimistic about peace in the region following the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Welcome to the party, Dr. Kissinger. Some of us who have been denigrated for taking seriously the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal to promote radical Islam worldwide are happy for you to join us in Realityville.

The New York Times headlined a recent story: “Muslim Brotherhood’s Statement on Women Stirs Liberals’ Fears.” What took them so long? It isn’t like the fundamentalist Muslim position on women is new.

President Obama’s first inoffice trip to Israel, the West Bank and Jordan, seemingly, is mostly about keeping Israel from attacking Iranian nuclear sites. He may also restate the failed policy of

asking Israel to “do more” for peace.

How about asking Israel’s enemies to do less: Less terCal rorism, less Thomas incitement, less teaching Columnist young people that Israel is evil and must be destroyed?

Former Danish journalist and anti-Islamist Lars Hedegaard understands Islamic fundamentalism better than most. A selfdescribed “secularist,” Hedegaard has confronted the Islamist philosophy in the worst possible way. Last month, he was nearly assassinated by a jihadist pretending to deliver a package to his door. The man fired, the bullet narrowly missing Hedegaard’s head, the gun jammed and, following a brief tussle with Hedegaard, the man fled.

On a recent visit to Washington, Hedegaard told me the growing presence of Islamic radicals throughout

Europe will soon land on America’s doorstep. “If,” he says, “it hasn’t already.”

Does anyone believe America is ready?

“The concept of Jihad,” he says, “is really not war in our sense of the word. ...

It’s not two armies opposing each other on the battlefield. Jihad is an instrumentarium of hundreds of different things you can do to further the cause.”

Such as, I asked?

“One of them is terror,” he says. “One is assassination.”

Hedegaard says radical Muslims “know how to wage war because they’ve been at it for 1,400 years. I would say Mohammed as a strategist is unsurpassed. ... He has come up with a warfaring system that does not depend on a state. The warfare can even include factions that disagree with each other, such as Sunnis and Shia. ... At the same time they can wage war against the infidels. So as a warfaring concept, it is lodged in every man and

woman’s head. That’s why it is so effective.”

Germany appears to be heeding Hedegaard’s warnings. BBC News reports the government has banned three Islamist groups, one of which allegedly inspired the man who shot and killed two American airmen at Frankfurt airport in 2011.

Too many people shy away from confronting the truth of radical Islam because they fear being attacked, as happened to Hedegaard and the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, shot and stabbed to death in 2004 because of a film he made that criticized the treatment of women in Islam.

Welcoming President Obama to Israel, op-eds in the official Palestinian Authority Daily implied that Hitler was greater than Franklin Roosevelt and that Americans were behind the 9-11 attacks. Parse that, Mr. President.

FAA to close 149 air traffic towers CHICAGO — Under orders to trim hundreds of millions of dollars from its budget, the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday released a final list of 149 air traffic control towers that it will close at small airports around the country starting early next month.

The closures will not force any of those airports to shut down, but pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers.

Those procedures are familiar to all pilots.

Since a preliminary list of facilities was released a month ago, the FAA plan has raised wideranging concerns, including worries about the effect on safety and the potential financial consequences for communities that rely on airports to help attract businesses and tourists.

“We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports,” FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in a statement.

Airlines have yet to say whether they will continue offering service to airports that lose tower staff. The trade group Airlines for America said its member carriers have no plans to cancel or suspend flights as a result of the closures.

The FAA is being forced to trim $637 million for the rest of the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. The agency said it had no choice but to subject most of its 47,000 employees, including tower controllers, to periodic furloughs and to close air traffic facilities at small airports with lighter traffic. The changes are part of the across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration, which went into effect March 1.

The airports targeted for tower shutdowns have fewer than 150,000 total flight operations

Alcatraz marks 50 years since closure ALCATRAZ ISLAND, Calif. — The black-andwhite photographs show a line of prisoners — some with heads bowed, others with eyes staring forlornly at the camera — as a guard leads them to a boat for their final trip off The Rock.

The striking images were taken on March 21, 1963, the day the infamous prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay was closed after holding the likes of gangsters Al Capone and Mickey Cohen.

Swarms of reporters chronicled the singlefile line of departing inmates.

On Thursday, however, the National Park Service unveiled an exhibit of newly discovered photos that depict new details about the final hours of Alcatraz.

The ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the closing was attended by former guard Jim Albright, who can be seen in the photographs in a light gray suit and dark tie, walking the shackled prisoners past reporters.

He had been a guard during two escapes, including the one made famous in the movie “Escape from Alcatraz,” and was keeping an eye open for any funny business involving the prisoners and reporters.

“What I was worried about was that one of these god-darned fools was going to give the inmates something that they could get out of their cuffs with,” Albright, now 77, said. “These were all the worst bad guys. If you messed up somewhere else you came to Alcatraz.”

Alcatraz started as a fortress and became an Army disciplinary barracks before the Bureau of Prisons took it over in 1934 to house America’s

most notorious criminals.

U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy signed an order in 1962 to close the prison due to its expensive upkeep and its prime location in the bay.

Nine years later, Alcatraz became a national park and one of California’s most popular tourist attractions with about 1.5 million visitors a year.

The new exhibit at Alcatraz features photos made by Los Angelesbased freelance photographer Leigh Wiener for Life Magazine.

Antivenin saves snakebitten man SEATTLE — A Canadian man who was bitten by a snake while vacationing in Costa Rica survived because of antivenin provided by a Seattle zoo, officials said Friday.

Michael Lovatt of Vancouver, B.C., had not realized he’d been bitten by a viper on his foot, but when the 61-year-old returned home on Monday, he was ill and was diagnosed with kidney failure after being rushed to the hospital. His legs were swollen from his foot to his mid-thigh.

But not knowing what bit him, doctors called in help from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

The medical team determined based on Lovatt’s symptoms that he was bitten by a Fer-de-lance Bothrops asper, which is native to Central and South America and is known to be deadly to humans.

The medical team contacted the Woodland Park Zoo and Harborview Medical Center for help.

The zoo keeps a cache of antivenins from Mexican pit vipers, cantils, rattlesnakes, eyelash vipers and bushmasters.

They are kept in case of emergencies.

Once the call came in from the Canadians, a

State courts not bound by federal court’s ruling JACKSON — The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision that Mississippi’s $1 million cap on noneconomic damages arising from civil litigation does not violate the state constitution’s separation of powers clause does not necessarily mean state courts have to abide by the ruling.

The cap was considered the centerpiece of tort reform, with supporters saying it would guarantee businesses’ liability insurance premiums would remain reasonably priced and would also ensure predictability in jury awards.

Specifically, the Mississippi Supreme Court, if and when the cap is before it again, could rule differently than the Fifth Circuit.

“The Mississippi Supreme Court is not by anyway bound by the Fifth Circuit’s opinion,” said Matt Steffey, professor at Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson. “They may or may not find it persuasive.”

Steffey said the part of the Fifth Circuit’s opinion that referred to the disposition as an “eerie guess” means the court is supposing what state law will be.

“It’s certainly not settling the matter,” he said.

The issue will likely reach the Mississippi Supreme Court in a way that it will be obligated to answer it, Steffey said, referring to the state court’s decision to pass on the issue last summer.

“By that I mean it will

be presented in such a way that it will be straight-forward constitutionally.

“Even if the Mississippi Supreme Court is persuaded by the Fifth Circuit’s reasoning on the central issue of this appeal, and that is the inviolate right to the jury guarantee, that’s the central holding of the Fifth Circuit’s opinion, and maybe the Mississippi Supreme Court finds that persuasive and adopts it,” he said.

Pike supervisors donate for cemetery upkeep MCCOMB — Cemetery associations in Pike County will receive small payments from the Pike County Board of Supervisors for upkeep of the graves of Confederate soldiers.

The Enterprise-Journal reports the supervisors, on a 4-1 vote, agreed to allocate a total of $320 to the Allen, East Union, Holmesville and Magnolia cemetery associations.

The dissenting vote was cast by Supervisor Tazwell Bowsky.

Morial will keynote Alcorn commencement LORMAN — National Urban league President Marc H. Morial will serve as the keynote speaker during Alcorn State’s 142nd graduation ceremony in May.

In addition, Rev. Dr. Gwendolyn E. Boyd, a mechanical engineer

Brown also said Friday that recording artist Chrystal Rucker and choreographer and educator Michelle Gibson will perform during commencement week.

Sales tax collections increase in Starkville STARKVILLE — Sales tax collections in January were the secondhighest-ever for the month in Starkville, city data shows.

The Commercial Dispatch reports the city collected about $430,734 in January.

Sales tax returns have improved every year but one since 2001. Fullyear revenue failed to eclipse $4 million only in 2001.

City officials said sales tax collections for the current fiscal year are outpacing last fiscal year’s monthly average by about $21,000.

January proved fruitful for the 2 percent tax on food and beverages. The city collected $131,985 for the month, an increase of almost 32 percent over January 2012.

Starkville also posted increases in the 2 percent hotel tax. The city collected $23,302, down a bit from January 2012.

A portion of the 2 percent taxes returns to the city, while the remainder is split between various organizations, including tourism initiatives, the parks and recreation department and Mississippi State Please see STATE | 5A

look at a proposed traffic control ordinance when it meets April 16.

The board this week asked the Oxford Pathways Commission to come up with a traffic calming policy for the city.

The Oxford Eagle reports that Assistant City Engineer Reanna Mayoral has presented a draft proposal to the Pathways Commission for consideration when it meets in April.

Mayoral said the draft outlines a process people will to get their streets considered for traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps, and how the city will determine what, if anything, should be done.

Only local, neighbor-

hood roads will be considered — not main thoroughfares.

Mayoral said some neighborhoods are concerned with the volume of vehicles on their roads. To be considered a problem, a street will need to have a minimum of 1,000 vehicles per day to be eligible for traffic calming.

For neighborhoods that are concerned about speeders, she said it must be determined that 85 percent of users on the road are exceeding the established speed limit by at least 7 mph.

The Public Works Department will conduct traffic studies to determine the speed and volume on each road.

If a valid traffic issue is found. Public Works will deal with each road on a first-come basis.

“We felt it was the fairest way to deal with it,” Mayoral said.

“There’s no way we could track which street came to a city official first. Some have been trying to get this done for several years. Filling out the application is a good way to start over and go from there. It

dent Barack Obama is designating five new national monuments, using executive authority to protect historic or ecologically significant sites — including one in Delaware sought by Vice President Joe Biden.

The White House said Obama would make the designations Monday, using the century-old Antiquities Act to protect unique natural and historic landmarks. The sites are Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in New Mexico; First State National Monument in Delaware; Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument in Maryland; Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio; and San Juan Islands National Monument in Washington state.

The Delaware monument, commemorating the state’s history and preserving about 1,100

acres near Wilmington, is the first step toward creating a national park in Delaware, the only state not included in the national park system. The project is a longtime priority for Biden, a former senator from Delaware.

“This national monument will tell the story of the essential role my state played in the history of the United States,” Biden said in a statement. “I couldn’t be more proud to call Delaware home.”

The largest site is Rio Grande del Norte in New Mexico, where Obama will designate nearly 240,000 acres for protection. The site includes wildlife habitat valued by hunters and anglers; rafting, camping, and other recreation, and is prized by the region’s Hispanic and tribal groups.

Advocates say the new monument in New Mexico, to be run by the U.S

Bureau of Land Management, will contribute an estimated $15 million a year in economic benefits to the area.

The San Juan Islands monument off Washington’s northwest coast includes roughly 1,000 acres of public land already managed by the BLM. Supporters say the designation will protect important cultural and historical areas and safeguard natural areas used for recreation and other purposes.

While their victory was by a razor-thin 50-49 vote, it allowed Democrats to tout their priorities. Yet it doesn’t resolve the deep differences the two parties have over deficits and the size of government.

Joining all Republicans voting no were four Democrats who face re-election next year in potentially difficult races: Sens.

Developing good habits worth the hard work We all develop habits.

However, bad habits seem to form faster and require less effort than good ones. But what distinguishes good habits from bad? Good habits help you achieve your g o a l s , make you happier, healthier, less stressed, enable you to accomBryan plish more, Golden and have no negative Dare to Live side effects Without Limits or ramifications.

Forming good habits takes repetition but procrastination delays starting. Once you begin, there will be setbacks. You can get frustrated. Forming a new habit can take lon-

ger than you’d like. Old habits may creep back in. Regardless, you can successfully develop and maintain good habits.

Start with an understanding of why you want to develop the habit.

What do you want to accomplish? What are the benefits of the new habit?

Recognizing all of the ways you will gain keeps you motivated.

Write down what habit you want to develop, your motivation, and what it will achieve. Make copies and post them in places where you will be able to read them several times a day. This procedure keeps your mind programmed with your desired habit.

Visualize yourself attaining the desired good habit. Experience the feelings associated with your success. Watch how

your life improves. This visualization is an important mental preview that focuses your mind on where you want to go.

Begin today. Start out with small steps. Engage in just one small element of your good habit. For example, if you want to develop a regular exercise routine, you might start with just five minutes a day. Getting started by taking action is essential to the formation of any good habit. Until you take this step, nothing will happen.

After getting started, you have to consistently work on your habit. When you start exercising five minutes a day, create a weekly schedule and stick to it. Whether it’s five minutes a day seven days a week, or only two days a week, you must

stick to your plan. Repetition is essential for your habit to take hold. Doing something now and then or when you remember is not effective.

Commit to your new habit for at least 30 days.

This is a manageable period of time that’s not overwhelming. It’s also enough time for the new habit to take hold. Sticking with the new habit for 30 days gives you a sense of accomplishment. You will feel that you don’t want to waste the time and effort already spent and are more compelled to continue.

Give yourself credit for any accomplishments, regardless how small. This positive reinforcement keeps you motivated and moving forward. It’s good to acknowledge your achievements.

Take bigger steps as you make progress. After consistently exercising five minutes a day, consider expanding your workout to 10 minutes.

Maintain this progression until you are achieving your desired results.

Setbacks are normal and expected. Don’t become discouraged.

Should you stumble and fall, just get back up and on track. If you give up and abandon your good habit, all of your progress will be wasted.

Fight discouragement by going back to the beginning of the habit forming process. Read and reread your reasons for forming the habit. Any period of time where you neglect your good habit is insignificant as long as you get back to your habit.

You banish bad habits by replacing them with good habits. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. The length of time a bad habit has been with you is irrelevant. All you need is a desire and a willingness to change.

You benefit from good habits. The sooner you get started the sooner you’ll reap the rewards.

Follow the guidelines described above. Get started today and enjoy the journey which leads to your destination.

Four UNA faculty members receive math, science grants

BY ELISE COFIELD UNA Student Writer

FLORENCE, Ala. — Four University of North Alabama math and computer-science faculty recently received a $188,000 National Science Foundation Math/ Science partnership grant from the State Department of Education to support the first phase of their three-year initiative designed to improve STEM education in high schools.

The principal investigators for the grant are Dr. Cynthia Stenger and Dr. Jessica Stovall, professors of mathematics; and Dr. James Jerkins and Dr. Janet Jenkins, professors of computer science.

The team’s initiative is called Collaborative Partnership to Teach Mathematical Reasoning through Computer Programming (CPR^2).

It uses an instructional treatment the team has been investigating for its effectiveness since the summer of 2012 which merges computer programming and mathematical problem-solving, according to Jenkins.

The team found that high school students better understand mathematical concepts when they explore the essential concepts in each problem as a simple computer program, Jerkins said.

The grant will provide a vehicle for the UNA math and computer-science faculty to form partnerships with regional high school mathematics faculty.

The team is partnering with the Alabama Math, Science and Technology Initiative (AMSTI), a State Department of Education program designed to improve math and science education in Alabama. UNA’s East Campus is the AMSTI host for northwest Alabama.

“Mathematical problem solving and computer programming are essential to innovation, and STEM education is where it all begins. Our long-term goal is to see this deployed, through AMSTI, statewide.”

Dr. James Jerkins Professor of computer science, University of North Alabama “Mathematical problem solving and computer programming are essential to innovation, and STEM education is where it all begins,” Jerkins said. “Our longterm goal is to see this deployed, through AMSTI, statewide.”

The grant was awarded March 1. It will fund onsite training visits for 24 northwest Alabama high school teachers, an interactive web community for instructional support, and the cost of hosting a two-week professional development seminar at the AMSTI in-service center this summer.

The team’s plan is that,

by Sept. 30, 2015, 75 high school math teachers will integrate the instructional treatment into their classrooms, and more than 8,000 high school students in Alabama will actively participate in computer programming and mathematical reasoning.

“We will be presenting the material to the high schools,” Jenkins said, “but also the plan is that over time the teach-

ers become comfortable enough to do it themselves and it becomes a

part of their regular curriculum.”

TUPELO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scott Morton, a longtime furniture manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales representative, has proposed a Tunica Furniture Market he insists is not aimed at pulling away business from the Tupelo Furniture Market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to compete against Tupelo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to work with them,â&#x20AC;?

Morton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to attend both markets.â&#x20AC;?

Morton said his market Jan. 8-9, 2014, will cater to retailers and buyers looking to find special deals and promotional items from participating exhibitors.

He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secured 175,000 square feet spread out at six casinos, the Tunica arena and another facility to host the market.

He also said he has a transportation company lined up that will provide shuttles between the venues.

Morton will be introducing another show into an already crowded schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad he recognizes that Mississippi is the place to have a furniture market,â&#x20AC;? said TFM Chairman and CEO V.M. Cleveland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think it may be bad timing to add another market when there are plenty of other markets.â&#x20AC;?

In January alone, Atlanta and Las Vegas have their events. Tupelo follows in mid-to late February.

High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premarket is held in mid-March, followed by its spring market in April. Sprinkled around them are smaller markets in Dallas and Chicago.

And then there are international markets in China as well.

Furniture industry consultant and analyst Jerry Epperson said a Tunica market, in comparison to the larger, established markets, would have little impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at a very small, regional market, versus 11 million square feet at High Point, 4.5 million square feet in Las Vegas and more than 1.5 million square feet at Tupelo,â&#x20AC;?

Epperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Tupelo, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at an established market thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been entrenched for a long time.â&#x20AC;?

Morton has been gauging interest since last fall and said there is interest in his Tunica market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody I talked to has had anything negative to say. They think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great idea,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Morton said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s received 10 firm commitments from companies who will show at Tunica, and said at least 50 others have indicated their interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask anyone to pull out of Tupelo,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to do. I think we can

Epperson said a small regional show like the one Morton proposes might hit a chord with smaller retailers who tend to favor staying in their stores as tax season kicks up in February. He said smaller furniture shows travel around the country, and a Tunica market could draw interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manufacturers will go where retailers are showing up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the key is getting them there.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a second market.â&#x20AC;?

Having the financial resources needed to put on a trade show can be challenging, but Morton believes he has a good handle on what to expect.

Best friend stayed silent about pastor’s sex addiction DEAR ABBY: My best friend of more than 12 years — the pastor of a large church — was sent to prison several months ago for soliciting sex with two minor children. While I despise what he did, I have enough intimate knowledge to know this was a one-time thing.

He’s a sex addict and, while this Abigail does not forgive the act, Van Buren it was just an escalation of Dear Abby his addiction.

I have decided to forgive him and be supportive. I send him a small amount of money each week and provide emotional support.

My problem is, I knew about his addiction for 11 of the 12 years we have known each other. I feel I could have prevented all this from happening if I had told others, intervened and helped him get treatment. How do I apologize to all of those who loved and supported him, not knowing he wasn’t celibate? — THE GUILTY ENABLER DEAR ENABLER: Excuse me? “Just” an escalation of the man’s sex addiction? The man’s lack of character is ap-

palling. That you would turn a blind eye to what he was doing indicates that you have issues of your own that need resolving.

Forget about apologizing. You can’t make this better. What’s done is done.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend was raised in a family that didn’t celebrate holidays, including birthdays. They converted to that religion when he was 10, and while he no longer identifies with that religion, he still doesn’t recognize any celebrations.

I was raised with all the traditions surrounding the holidays and the family time that comes with it. I feel they are very important. I have tried explaining this to him, but his attitude toward holidays borders on hatred.

He recently told me he wants me to stop including him in activities or conversations related to holidays and birthdays, and I’m not sure what to do. He finds the same activities acceptable as long as they don’t happen around a holiday and are not associated with one.

Would it be unfair to ask him to compromise and share certain traditions with me, in light of the fact that he has no family traditions to bring to the table?

— NO HAPPY BIRTHDAYS DEAR NO HAPPY BIRTHDAYS: You could ask him to

compromise, but it would be unrealistic to expect that someone with his ingrained attitude will do so. A fish and a bird may love each other, but it doesn’t mean they can happily cohabit.

If you want a happy relationship, find someone whose traditions more closely resemble your own.

DEAR ABBY: I’m an almost 18-year-old girl. I hoped that by now I would be over my fear of the dark, but I’m not. I can’t sleep without the TV, go outside after dark or walk through my house at night without being terrified. I always feel as if there is “something” there, no matter how many times I shine a light to check. I’m pretty sure this is irrational, but I don’t know what to do. — SCAREDY-CAT IN FLORIDA DEAR SCAREDY-CAT: When someone has an irrational fear, the thing to do is to consult a licensed psychotherapist and discuss it. There are counselors who specialize in phobias, and your physician may be able to refer you to one.

(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 ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll receive feedback. This could come from higher-ups regarding your upward potential, or it could be a customer’s reaction to work product. Either way, it’s a gift -- albeit a gift that you’ll be processing for a while.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Not everyone will share your high opinion of certain people. It would help you to take off your rosecolored glasses for a moment and see what others are seeing.

Don’t worry. You can always put them back on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The most successful and talented people you know have struggles. So don’t think you’re alone in this business of being human, having flaws and making mistakes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

We are, by and large, a culture with a short attention span. It’s something to consider when you’re relaying a story today. Perhaps you should start in the middle.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll

be inspired by what you experience and discover. Sharing this is tricky, though, because your point of view is so different now.

What aren’t they seeing that you see? How can you make them see it?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The reason you get things done now is that you consider what matters before you act. With a clear idea of why, you take the actions that are likely to have the biggest impact.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Efforts that are not in line with your goals give you an anxious feeling; whereas, you have a lot of fun when you know you’re getting the right things done at the right time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Forthright, cheerful, outgoing people seem to get all of the attention. Not from you, though.

A wonderful thing happens because you take the time to understand the enigmatic nuances of subtler types.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Others might misperceive you, and if they do, it’s still valuable to know what they are thinking and why. No matter how off base the outsiders may be, there’s still some wee kernel of truth to glean from their insight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You recognize that each person must follow his or her own path. You’ve demonstrated your affection quite fully, and now you want to appreciate and love someone while simply letting that person be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

When you go public with your creativity, the reaction might be mixed -- and that is fine with you.

You seek the unswerving devotion that comes from unconditional love, not the fickle attention of strangers.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Before you chastise yourself for over-thinking, lighten up. Rationalizing can be fun. The misuse of logical thought plus a wallop of humor equals an entertaining exercise or an excellent story.

Lady Aggies split tourney games

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

IUKA — The Kossuth Lady Aggies braved the elements and came away with a split Saturday at the Tishomingo County Tri-State Challenge.

Kossuth, now 9-3, dropped a 7-1 decision to Muscle Shoals (Ala.) before run-ruling First Assembly Christian School (Tenn.) 15-0 in the finale.

Muscle Shoals broke open a 3-1 contest with a four-run fourth. The big inning also coincided with departure of starting pitcher Kristen Devers (4-1), who began experiencing tightness in the cold air.

Kossuth recorded only three hits in the loss, including doubles by Alyssa Rice, Madison Switcher at Shelby Stewart.

Carleigh Mills (5-0) tossed a one-hitter in the finale, striking out 12 batters -- including eight straight to start the game -- in four innings of work. The nohit bid ended with one out in the fourth Kossuth recorded 11 hits, two each

by Madison Hales, Briana Bryan and Hannah Parks. Stewart recorded an inside-the-park homer in the second.

All 26 players that made the trip played in the finale.

Kossuth hosts Tishomingo County in a make-up game on Monday. Varsity play begins at 5, with jv action to follow.

Ole Miss hopes Henderson’s hot early Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If he had any hair, Andy Kennedy would probably be pulling it out.

The Mississippi coach has been searching in vain all season for a way to jolt Marshall Henderson out of his habitual first-half funks.

In the upset victory over Florida in the Southeastern Conference finals, the affable and at times agitating — at least to opponents and their fans — Henderson scored all but three of his 21 points in the second half.

Then on Friday in a secondround NCAA tournament victory over Wisconsin, it was the same old story of cold early, hot late for the SEC’s top scorer. His teammates kept running ball screens to get him open looks, but Henderson managed only two points in the first half. Then he went off for 17 in the second.

If Henderson finds his touch early Sunday night in the third-round game against La Salle, the 13th-seeded Explorers (23-9) could be in for a long game.

“I would like him to make

shots earlier, that’s for sure,” Kennedy said. “And he talks about it. I told him today he may be talking about it too much. It’s almost like it’s set in his mind. I’ve stopped fighting getting him to turn.

I thought in the first half his looks were as clean if not cleaner than the second half.

I don’t know what it is.”

Jaunty and outgoing, Marshall seems to be enjoying this NCAA tournament as much as anyone involved. A few hours after the 12-seeded Rebels (27-8) ousted Wisconsin, pictures of him decked

out in an Ole Miss sweatshirt having fun at a Kansas City nightspot were all over Twitter. The next day, Ole Miss officials were quick to say he was not drinking, but only at dinner with the rest of the team.

Showboating seems to come easier to Henderson than hitting an unguarded jumper. He revels in all the attention. He does not seem worried about giving anyone the wrong impression of himself or his school by getting Please see HENDERSON | 11A

Top-seeded Cardinals cruise into Sweet 16 Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Russ Smith had another big night, leading four players in double figures with 27 points, and top-seeded Louisville is into the Midwest Region semifinals.

The Cardinals put on a defensive clinic as they dismantled Colorado State 82-56.

Louisville forced the eighthseeded Rams into a seasonhigh 20 turnovers, made Colton Iverson look as invisible as a 6-foot-10 guy can be and limited one of the nation’s best rebounding teams to 24 boards, more than a dozen below their average.

It was the 12th straight win for Louisville (31-5), which will play the winner of Saint Louis-Oregon on Friday in In-

dianapolis.

Arizona 74, Harvard 51 At Salt Lake City, Arizona put an emphatic end to Harvard’s March Madness success story. Mark Lyons matched his career high with 27 points to lead the sixthseeded Wildcats (27-7). Arizona sprinted to a 30-9 lead, as the Crimson (20-10) missed 20 of its first 22 shots. Lyons led Arizona to the program’s 15th appearance in the Sweet 16. The Wildcats will play Iowa State or Ohio State next week in Los Angeles.

Harvard, meanwhile, goes home with its first NCAA win in tow. The 14th-seeded Crimson beat third-seeded New Mexico on Thursday but

couldn’t recreate the magic.

Kenyatta Smith led Harvard with 10 points. Freshman Siyani Chambers lost part of his front tooth after Arizona’s Kevin Parrom elbowed him in the face.

Michigan 78, VCU 53 At Auburn Hills, Mich., Mitch McGary had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and fourthseeded Michigan breezed through Virginia Commonwealth’s vaunted pressure with a clinical performance and advanced to the round of 16 for the first time since 1994.

VCU (27-9) was relentless in a 46-point rout of Akron on Thursday night, but the Rams met their match against

Michigan’s cool-headed backcourt. Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. rarely looked rattled against VCU, and although Michigan (28-7) committed 12 turnovers, the Rams couldn’t turn many of them into quick scoring opportunities. McGary, a 6-foot10 freshman, set season highs in scoring and rebounding.

The 71-point swing by VCU — from a 46-point win to a 25-point loss — was the largest in NCAA tournament history, according to STATS. In 1968, Houston beat Texas Christian 103-68, then lost to UCLA 101-69 for a 67-point swing.

The Wolverines will play the winner of Sunday’s game between Kansas and North Carolina in Arlington, Texas.

Sparty takes Memphis behind the woodshed Associated Press

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Entering the NCAA tournament, Memphis trailed only Gonzaga in wins.

After the sixth-seeded Tigers were eliminated by a 70-48 loss to Michigan State on Saturday, they remained among the most confident schools in the nation.

“We know we have one of the best teams in the country,” Memphis forward D.J. Stephens said. “We should have never lost this game. We just let ourselves down.”

The Tigers (31-5) advanced

in the NCAA tournament for the first time in Josh Pastner’s four seasons. The Conference USA champions are headed home because they struggled to stop Gary Harris on the outside or his teammates inside all afternoon.

Gary Harris scored 16 of his career-high 23 points in the first half, and post players Adreian Payne and Derrick Nix combined for 27 points and 18 rebounds. Michigan State (278) earned a spot in the round of 16 for the fifth time in six years by outscoring Memphis 38-19 in the second half. The

Spartans will play the winner of Sunday’s Duke-Creighton game on Friday in the Midwest Regional semifinals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

“No disrespect, but we know that we are a better team than Michigan State,” Stephens said after scoring three points, grabbing six rebounds and blocking four shots. “We just gave this game away.”

Memphis’ Geron Johnson scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half, and Joe Jackson finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, five turnovers and

three assists.

Adonis Thomas was held to five points — seven below his average — on 2-of-6 shooting and like Stephens, he was very disappointed with being eliminated in the round of 32.

“This was a year where we should have gone all the way,” Thomas said. “We knew that, but we didn’t play well. We weren’t hitting shots like we normally do, and they did a good job of taking away our 3-pointers. We’ll get more chances, but I feel bad for the seniors, because this is it for them.”

Tennessee rolls in women’s NCAA tourney opener Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee got the kind of test it wanted in its NCAA tournament opener.

Oral Roberts, the No. 15 seed in the Oklahoma City Regional, led for the first few minutes and stayed competitive for most of the first half Saturday before the secondseeded Lady Vols pulled away for an 83-62 victory in their first NCAA tournament game of the post-Pat Summitt era.

“I prefer a challenge personally,” said guard Meighan Simmons, who scored a team-high 18 points. “The rest of the games aren’t going to be easy. You don’t want to just breeze through the first round and then come up the next game and everything is difficult. I’d rather be tested

early on.”

The Lady Vols (25-7) improved to 51-0 in NCAA tournament games on their home floor and advanced to a second-round game Monday against No. 10 seed Creighton (25-7). The Bluejays defeated Syracuse 61-56 in their firstround game.

Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale both scored 13 points for Tennessee, and Bashaara Graves added 11.

After missing nine of her last 11 games because of injuries to each knee, Isabelle Harrison had seven points and five rebounds in her return.

Tennessee got points from all 10 of its healthy players.

“That just makes us that much harder to scout,” Massengale said. “It’s kind of like, ‘Who do you guard?’ because

all of us are capable of putting the ball in the basket.”

Kevi Luper scored 20, and Taylor Cooper and Savanna Buck had 15 each for Oral Roberts (18-13).

Tennessee is 49-1 in firstround and second-round games. The Lady Vols have played in every NCAA tournament since the event started in 1982 and have lost in the first two rounds just once, falling to Ball State in a 2009 opening-round game.

“I think it just builds our confidence,” Graves said. “We don’t really worry about the numbers or anything. We just go out and try to win.”

All those tournament wins before Saturday came under Summitt, who stepped down last April after leading Tennessee to eight national titles

and 18 Final Four appearances in 38 seasons. Summitt had announced in 2011 that she has early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. Summitt has remained on staff as head coach emeritus.

Holly Warlick, who played for Summitt and worked as an assistant on her staff for 27 seasons, took over the program and led Tennessee to a Southeastern Conference regular-season title. She is trying to guide Tennessee to its first Final Four appearance since its 2008 national title.

That 2008 championship run included a 94-55 first-round victory over Oral Roberts. In that game, Oral Roberts lost its leading scorer soon after the opening tip when point guard Mariana Camargo injured her knee.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a joke really. It is funny to get people riled up.

The story of Brigadier General Joseph L. Hogg

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

One of my favorite things to do is to take visitors to the site of Battery Robinett and tell them of the desperate fighting on the little hill above Corinth.

The fort is gone, but in its place are a handful of monuments and headstones to mark where brave men gave their all and where many of them breathed their last. I tell about the Union officer who was given the Medal of Honor for his part in the fight and of the Confederate colonel who led three charges against his foes.

Eventually, my story turns to the large reddish brown monument near the pine tree -- a piece of Texas marble that marks the resting place of a man who did not die here. In fact, he was not even in the battle.

Brigadier General Joseph Lewis Hogg’s grave is a bit of an anomaly, but none the less, his is a fascinating tale.

In 1906 Confederate Veteran Magazine printed a heartbreaking story titled “The Pathetic Story of General Hogg of Texas.”

The account details how the desperately wounded general limped away from the Shiloh battlefield and died alone in a home near Corinth, his grave forgotten and overgrown.

Before you get all mistyeyed, I need to fill in a few minor details.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not being hardhearted or sarcastic, it’s just the article was as factual as a children’s fairy tale. The author of the piece, identified only as “Youth’s Companion,” made so many errors I am surprised he actually managed to spell the general’s name correctly. Let me set the record straight.

Joseph Hogg was born in Georgia in 1806, though he grew up in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.

His father was a well off planter and sent Joseph to law school. When he was 25, Joseph married Miss Lucinda McMath and the couple set out to have a total of eight kids.

In 1839 Joseph packed up and moved the family to Rusk, Texas where he opened a law firm in nearby Nacogdoches.

The young lawyer threw his hat into the political ring and was elected to the House of Representatives and later to the Senate. He was a delegate to

An example of 19th century “photoshopping.” General Joseph L. Hogg was 54 years old when he died, not the young man of his earlier photo. By clever editing, his head was pasted onto the image with the uniform. The messy hair is a dead give away.

Eventually, my story turns to the large reddish brown monument near the pine tree -- a piece of Texas marble that marks the resting place of a man who did not die here. In fact, he was not even in the battle. the Republic’s convention on annexation and voted for a union with the United States.

When the Mexican War broke out, he put in a bid to be colonel of the 2nd Regiment of Texas Mounted Volunteers. Another man was selected for the top job but Joseph stayed with the unit as a lowly private and did his part in the Battle of Monterrey.

When his folks died, he inherited the family fortune along with 20 slaves.

Between his law career, his time in office, and his new found wealth, Joseph became a man of power and influence by the time the Civil War began.

He was a member of the state secession convention and 15 years after casting a vote to bring Texas into the Union he cast another to take it back out. He lost in an attempt to be elected to the Confederate Congress but was given a commission to raise a company for what would become the 3rd Texas Cavalry. Com-

pany C, or the Lone Star Defenders, elected Joseph their captain and his son Tom was on the rolls as a private.

Sgt. Samuel Barron of the 3rd Texas described his new commander as, “a fine specimen of the best type of Southern manhood – tall, slender, straight as an Indian, and exceedingly dignified in his manner.”

Joseph’s role as a captain was a short one. Before he could buy a uniform, he was promoted to brigadier general and sent off to Missouri to report to General Earl Van Dorn. The new general and his staff set off for the Show-Me-State though he hardly looked the part.

In a “Prince Albert coat, stiff-collared white shirt, and tall silk hat,” Joseph looked more like a school teacher than a soldier.

The men of his staff called him “Professor Hogg,” or “Parson Hogg.”

He no sooner arrived in Missouri than he was placed at the head of a brigade of five regiments

Brigadier General Joseph L. Hogg from Texas and Arkansas.

At about the same time, Gen. Van Dorn received orders to bring his army across the Mississippi River to Corinth.

The trip went well enough until the brigade boarded a train in Memphis headed east for Corinth. Time after time the train was shunted off on a siding to let other trains pass by. As the day wore on Hogg became increasingly irritated and suspicious that he was not being treated as a general ought to be. When they were once again directed onto a side track, Joseph ordered the conductor and engineer placed under arrest.

The stoker and fireman were ordered to proceed to Corinth at full speed at the risk of being shot as spies. The two men protested, but to no avail. Within three miles of town, just as it was getting dark, they came upon another train headed east. An irate Major stated the train was Beauregard’s express bearing important dispatches, but his words fell on deaf

ears. He was forced to back his train all the way to Corinth to allow Hogg through.

The next morning it was Hogg’s turn to be placed under arrest and he was soon standing, still in civilian clothes, before General Beauregard. Joseph, ever the politician, did a quick little tap dance and explained he was so determined to reach the front there was no obstacle that could stand in his way. Beauregard saw through the codswallop, but welcomed the Texan and released him from arrest.

The brigade was posted on the east side of town and before Joseph could fit himself with proper clothes, he came down with dysentery. He was taken to a private home near the Mount Holly Church, four miles west of town and was attended

by Dr. Wallace McDugald and his faithful slave, Bob. Dysentery was the biggest killer of the war and was no respecter of rank.

It took the lowliest privates and the highest of generals. Hogg’s son Tom

was with him on May 16, 1862, when Joseph went to his final rest.

He was buried nearby and a simple limestone headstone was placed over his grave.

Joseph’s third son, James “Big Jim” Hogg, was the Governor of Texas from 1887 to 1891. The story is that Big Jim wanted his dad moved from the Holly Church area to Confederate Park (Battery Robinett) and the project was turned over to the general’s grandchildren. Big Jim passed away in 1906 before the move could be made.

Finally in 1918, Joseph Hogg’s remains were moved to the hill on the west side of town and the beautiful monument of red Texas marble was placed above him.

There was no big fanfare, no big ceremony.

Just a simple service for a soldier who never did get his uniform.

Fred’s opened doors in ’68 Memphis leaders propose new park names (Fred’s Dollar Store opened for business in Iuka on July 17, 1968. The following information was obtained from The Vidette, Iuka, July 18, 1968.)

Fred’s Fred’s Dollar Store opened its doors for business on July 17, 1968, in the biggest retail building available in Iuka, Mississippi. Featuring outstanding buys coupled with a marvelous array of valuable prizes, the Grand Opening held that Wednesday morning attracted hundreds of shoppers.

The spaciousness of the building, the convenient displays of merchandise, the fine illumination of lights recently installed, and the cool temperatures produced an ideal situation for leisurely shopping.

Situated in the old Liberty Super Market building below the railroad on Fulton Street, the new store offered free parking and a wide expanse of over 8,500 square feet of shopping space. The building was purchased by the Fred’s Dollar Store chain from Mr. Herman C. Gann who moved

the Liberty Super Market to a new shopping center on Highway 25 South.

Fred’s comRaNae pletely remodVaughn eled the building with an Historically extension built Speaking on the back of the structure.

New paneling was installed and new decorations created an attractive atmosphere.

Among prizes offered in the grand opening were a 23-inch color TV, a 21-jewel Hamilton wrist watch, and a clock radio.

Gerald McCarver, manager of the new store, stated that there was no obligation for any shopper to buy merchandise.

Everyone was still eligible for the prizes if they visited the store and picked up a ticket during the grand opening sale.

Civil War Park, Battle of Memphis Park among proposed names Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn.

— Memphis officials are proposing a compromise after the City Council stripped Confederacy names from three city parks.

Mayor A C Wharton and Councilman Jim Strickland held out the olive branch Wednesday, saying the city needs to unite and get on to more important issues.

“I think what the mayor and I wanted to do was start the discussion on trying to compromise and achieve some consensus,” Strickland told The Commercial Appeal.

In a letter to a ninemember Park Naming Committee, Wharton and Strickland suggested calling the for-

mer Forrest Park by the name Civil War Park. It currently is called Health Sciences Park because it is close to the University of Tennessee medical school. The officials propose erecting a privately funded statue of Ulysses S. Grant to complement the existing statue of Confederate cavalry officer Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Grant, a Union general during the Civil War and later president, had his headquarters in Memphis for a time during the conflict. The grave of Forrest and a monument to him have been at the park for more than a century.

The letter suggested changing the name of the former Confederate Park to the Battle of Memphis Park.

That park has a marker about the 1862 battle on the Mississippi River between

“Those are both historic names and neutral names, so I think those names are not too offensive to any segments of our community.”

Lee Harris Memphis city councilman Union and Confederate ships. The letter from Wharton and Strickland said much more about the history of the war could be interpreted for visitors to the park, which overlooks the river.

There was no suggestion for the park formerly called Jeffer-

son Davis Park, which honored the president of the Confederate States of America.

The City Council quickly renamed the parks on Feb. 5 after the placement of a privately funded marker that identified Forrest Park. There was also pending state legislation that would prevent renaming parks in the future.

The move to rename the parks was led by council member Lee Harris, who said he supports the new names advanced by Wharton and Strickland.

“Those are both historic names and neutral names, so I think those names are not too offensive to any segments of our community,” Harris said.

“And so I think that, hopefully, those are names that people will rally around and put this matter to bed.”

Tim Johnson, chief investment strategist for Lincoln Financial Network. “A couple should literally ask each other, ‘What are we really trying to accomplish here and what do you want out of this whole thing?’”

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

■ Be Engaged, No Matter What: Don’t throw your hands up at uncertain economic conditions. The market has always gone up and down. Volatility is just part of investing.

So rather than toss account statements into a pile of unopened mail, identify what’s working well and build on it.

For what’s not working well, rebalance portfolios, as necessary.

■ Communicate: Each person in the relationship has an opportunity to take steps, both large and small, that help achieve shortand long-term financial goals. But working together is important. A couple is most powerful when pulling in the same direction.

Be sure to hold regular financial meetings to address weaknesses and celebrate successes. Make it fun. Understanding who your partner is and what motivates him or her can make for a strong relationship.

A healthy financial relationship is a building block for a healthy overall relationship.

Take steps now to define your priorities, so you can begin working toward your shared goals.

Passing ‘Argo’ reference rankles New Zealanders

BY NICK PERRY Associated Press

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Thirteen minutes into the Oscarwinning movie “Argo,” CIA agent Tony Mendez asks supervisor Jack O’Donnell what happened to a group of Americans when the U.S. Embassy was stormed in Tehran.

“The six of them went out a back exit,” O’Donnell tells Mendez, played by Ben Affleck.

“Brits turned them away.

Kiwis turned them away.

Canadians took them in.”

That passing reference to New Zealand is rankling Kiwis five months after “Argo” was released in the South Pacific nation. Even Parliament has expressed its dismay, passing a motion stating that Affleck, who also directed the film, “saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened.”

New Zealand joins other countries, including Iran and Canada, that have felt offended by the fictionalized account of how the six Americans were sheltered and secreted out of Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The strong reaction in New Zealand indicates the country remains insecure about its own culture, said Steve Matthewman, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Auckland. People are prone to bouts of unwarranted outrage when somebody from abroad says something bad about the country, he said, and simpering enjoyment when they say something good.

“It’s touched a really raw nerve,” Matthewman said. “We do seem in New Zealand to be oversensitive to how the rest of the world perceives us.”

The movie’s New Zealand reference may not be totally fair but has an element of truth.

Some in New Zealand have taken those words — “Kiwis turned them away” — as implying the country did nothing to help.

In fact, a U.S. State Department document dated Feb. 6, 1980, says “four Embassies — Canadians, British, Swedish and New Zealand — were involved in their protection and escape.” The document was posted online last fall by the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum.

And published interviews indicate diplomats from Britain and New Zealand did help by briefly sheltering the Americans, visiting them and

bringing them food, even driving them to the airport when they left.

Yet those interviews also indicate that both countries considered it too risky to shelter the Americans for long. That left the Canadians shouldering the biggest risk by taking them in.

Lawmaker Winston Peters, who brought last week’s uncontested motion before Parliament, said New Zealanders are unfairly portrayed as “a bunch of cowards,” an impression that would be given to millions who watch the movie.

“It’s a diabolical misrepresentation of the acts of courage and bravery, done at significant risk to themselves, by New Zealand diplomats,” he said.

Affleck could not be reached for comment this week.

During Oscar media interviews last month, Affleck told reporters: “Let me just start by saying I love New Zealand, and I love New Zealanders.” He added that “I think that it’s tricky. You walk a fine line. You are doing a historical movie and naturally you have to make some creative choices about how you are going to condense this into a three-act structure.”

But Affleck and his screenwriter, Chris Terrio, who won the adapted screenplay Oscar, did catch some flak from critics for taking major liberties, especially a heartstopping — but fictional — airport finale that had gun-wielding Iranian Revolutionary Guards chasing the Swissair plane down the tarmac, with the plane lifting off just in the nick of time.

(In reality, the airport exit went smoothly.)

And after the film was made, Affleck took the step of changing the film’s postscript, the Toronto Star reported, to more generously credit Canada and its ambassador at the time, Ken Taylor, who protected the Americans at huge personal risk and was uncomfortable with some details in the film.

“Argo” was not the only Oscar-nominated film this year to be criticized for factual issues.

Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” came under fire for its depictions of interrogations. A group of senators charged that the film misled viewers for suggesting that torture provided information that helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden.

Even Steven Spielberg’s

“Lincoln,” with its rich attention to historically accurate detail, was criticized for its inaccurate depiction of the Connecticut delegation’s vote on the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. The film’s Pulitzer-winning screenwriter, Tony Kushner, said he’d changed the details for dramatic effect.

Matthewman, the sociology professor, said the line in Argo may have provoked New Zealanders because the country prides itself on being generous and hospitable.

People have a reputation for doing things like picking up hitchhikers and inviting them into their homes for a week, he said.

Small countries like New Zealand that are far from the world’s centers of power are often shaped by bigger countries like the U.S. and often look to them for affirmation, Matthewman said. It’s interesting to note the different reaction Affleck got in Britain, Matthewman said, which was arguably equally maligned in the movie.

“They give the guy a BAFTA in Britain and bash him in New Zealand,” he said, referring to the best director prize Affleck won at the British Academy Film Awards.

Some in Britain, however, have criticized “Argo’s” reference to that country, and some in Canada are upset the CIA gets credit at the expense of the Canadians, a claim backed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

And Iran is planning to sue Hollywood for the movie’s alleged “unrealistic portrayal” of that country, according to Iranian media reports.

Yet while Iran and Canada are central parts of the movie, the New Zealand reference could easily be missed — at least by outsiders.

Patrick Gower, the political editor for TV3, one of two main television news stations in New Zealand, wrote in a blog that Affleck should apologize after he “deliberately slammed” the country.

“Some people will say I’m being oversensitive here,” he wrote. “But in my opinion, what Affleck has done just isn’t right.”

The controversy was not reflected in box-office receipts. “Argo” has done well in New Zealand, earning just over $1 million. As of this week, the film has earned $92.3 million internationally and $135 million in North America.

New crappie fishing regulations taking effect Area crappie fishermen fish the local lakes hard at every chance they get when the dogwoods begin to blossom.

But as the season progresses and the bite shows, some of the more devout fishermen take their show on the road and head south to one of the state’s other top crappie fisheries.

Sardis Lake is the popular destination of choice for many area anglers, and for good reason. The lake has always been known for high catch rates, though not always so much for its size of crappie. That is, until the last few years. Three-pound crappies are no longer uncommon to catch, which has led some media out-

lets to proclaim it as one of the top crappie fisheries in the country.

David The betGreen ter quality of fish Outdoors showing up on the lake has been attributed to the fishing regulations that were imposed on the fishery in 2007 by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks. Only crappie measuring a minimum of 12 inches or more could be kept, the daily creel limit was reduced to 20 per person, and a boat with three or more anglers could only keep a total of

50 per day.

Protecting the fishery was the main intent for implementing the regulations, according to wildlife officials. Sardis was several feet below normal pool due to a severe drought, which forced the fish to live in a smaller area, making them more vulnerable. And, at the same time, fishing pressure was at an all-time high due to all of the positive publicity the lake was receiving.

Since the inception of the regulations, anglers have voiced their unhappiness. Negative comments kept coming in even though the quality of fishing was improving.

The unhappiness boiled down to not being able

to catch a limit of 20 that met the 12-inch minimum requirement even though they had no problem catching a boat load of fish daily.

After doing some careful study, the MDWFP has recently decided to make a change to the regulations that should quell some of the grumblings.

They decided to lower the minimum length requirement, lower the daily creel limit, limit the number of rods a person can use at a time to three, and lower the number of fish that can be taken per boat daily.

The proposed regulation changes were set to take effect on March 21.

By instituting the new minimum length limit

and knowing there’s already a sizable population of keeper fish in the lake, wildlife officials are expecting anglers to be able to keep more fish this year, and they’re hoping by reducing the creel limit from 20 to 15 and the 50 per boat to 40 daily will offset any possible negative imbalance in the crappie population brought on because of more fish being removed from the lake.

I’ve dropped the ball on this one. I’ve come across two reports stating different numbers for the new minimum length requirements, and so far I haven’t been able to verify which one is correct.

One says the new minimum length for keeper

crappies on Sardis Lake is 10 inches, and the other says it’s 11.

Either way, a 10 or 11 inch fish makes for much better table fare than crappies 12-inches or larger.

But make sure before heading out onto the lake that you find out for certain what’s legal and what’s not.

Crappie transition each spring provides challenge for anglers

BY BRIAN ALBERT BROOM The Clarion-Ledge

JACKSON — Much like a telegraph, Terry Stewart’s fishing line was transmitting messages — and the news was good.

Rod tips bent down toward the water under the strain of a 1⁄2-ounce weight as he slowly trolled minnows when one tip suddenly lifted. But just as quickly as it sprang up, it went back down to its normal position.

For Stewart of Clinton, it signaled that the fish were feeding on Ross Barnett Reservoir, but the bite was light. When the tip lifted again, Stewart gently raised the rod out of its holder and, feeling tension, he set the hook on the first crappie of the day.

A light bite is common in March as fish begin transitioning from their deep-water holds of winter toward the shallow spawning grounds of spring. Just as common, the crappie will stage at different depths and areas — frustrating some anglers as they hunt and peck for an area holding fish.

“They’ve moved out of 24 or 25 feet of water into 10 to 12 feet of water,” said Stewart. “Some will still be in 25 feet of water, but they will be suspended at 10 to 12 feet deep.”

A tournament angler and fishing guide, Stewart knows that there are few hard and fast rules in a crappie’s world, so he tries to put the odds in his favor while attempting to locate transitioning

fish. A six-rod spider rig suspends baits at various depths.

“I’ll set them at 8 feet deep, one or two at 12 and then one or two at 16,” said Stewart. This leaves Stewart covering 8 feet of the water column. “When I figure out how deep they are, I just drop them all to that depth.”

According to Stewart, using live bait — and lots of it — is equally as important as varying depths.

He uses a Kentucky rig, which consists of a halfounce weight at the bottom with two hooks above it spaced out about 18 to 20 inches to ensure he gets an offering in front of any fish he comes across.

Chris Horton of Cleveland strongly prefers jig fishing because he likes the thrill of feeling

the bite. But under prespawn conditions, he said that he isn’t married to the one- or two-rod tactic.

“It’s real hit and miss.

They aren’t just stacked,” said Horton. “I love to jig fish, but the logical answer to catching more fish is more poles.” And more bait. Horton also relies on the double-hook Kentucky rig for transitioning fish.

Trolling a ledge of the Pearl River channel below Mississippi Highway 43, Stewart’s tactics were paying off as he boated a half-dozen more fish from around the 12-foot mark.

With the water surface temperature in the low 50s and the air temperature hovering around a chilly 40 degrees, each bite was a repeat performance of the first as fish after fish gently picked

up the minnows and mouthed them before Stewart set the hook.

By early afternoon, the temperature had climbed to the mid-60s and Stewart was testing the water upriver along the channel edge.

Outside the river bed produced few bites, but as soon as Stewart entered the 23-foot depth of the channel, a rod set at 16 feet jerked down.

No sooner was that fish in the boat when another went down. Unlike the earlier gentle bites, most of these fish weren’t playing around.

Rod after rod connected until two slabs crossed paths. As Stewart sorted out the lines, a third rod slapped the water.

While action can be fast and furious right now, it

is only going to get better.

As the water heats up, the crappie will start stacking up in shallower water.

“When the water gets 60 to 65 degrees, the fish are going to start spawning,” said Joe Lowery of Louisville.

Though those are typical spawning temperatures, Lowery said it varies from lake to lake.

Along with that variation, Horton said different lakes will reach those temperatures at different times.

The challenges of patterning transitioning crappie and all the variables that go with it as they slowly move toward the spawn make March a favorite for Horton.

“It’s a great time of year to fish for them; it’s a lot of fun.”
