Man charged in suspicious letters case BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press
BRANDON, Miss. — An exmartial arts instructor made ricin and put the poison in letters to President Barack Obama and others, the FBI charged Saturday, days after dropping similar charges against an Elvis imper-
James Everett Dutschke arrested in Tupelo home sonator who insisted he had been framed. The arrest of 41-year-old James Everett Dutschke early Saturday capped a week in which investigators initially ze-
roed in on a rival of Dutschke’s, then decided they had the wrong man. The hunt for a suspect revealed tie after smalltown tie between the two men and the 80-year-old county
judge who, along with Obama and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, was among the targets of the letters. Dutschke’s house, business and vehicles in Tupelo were
searched earlier in the week often by crews in hazardous materials suits and he had been under surveillance. Dutschke was charged with “knowingly developing, producing, stockpiling, transferPlease see ARREST | 3A

Seasonal trends helped ease area jobless rates in March. Alcorn County was at 7.8 percent for the month, down from 9.2 percent in February and 8.8 percent a year earlier. Early spring weather helped fuel improvement across the state with an unadjusted Mississippi rate of 8.7 percent, down from 9.9 percent the prior month. Alcorn County had 14,880 employed, rising slightly from 14,640 one year earlier, and 1,260 unemployed, down from 1,420 a year ago. The county saw 86 first claims for unemployment insurance, compared to 81 a year earlier, and 884 continued claims, an increase from 799 a year earlier. Among neighboring counties, Prentiss was at 9.1 percent, down from 10.2 percent in February; Tishomingo was at 9.6 percent, down from 10.8 percent; and Tippah was at 10.6 percent, down from 12 percent.

Iuka landmark is only remaining Mississippi drive-in theater BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — The state’s only remaining drive-in movie theatre needs the help of the public. With movies being converted from reels to digital next year, the Iuka Drive-In must come up with the money to purchase the needed equipment to stay in business. “To make the change it’s go-
ing to cost around $65,000,” said employee James D. Seigars. “Right now we are trying to raise the money in the community and have some donation areas set up at the drivein.” The drive-in has been a fixture in Iuka since May 2, 1957. Next month will mark its 56th anniversary for the theatre which was first just called the
Drive-In. Ironman 3 is set to be shown during the anniversary weekend. Open from April to October, the historical landmark shows a double-feature each Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 and 9:15 p.m. The drive-in is owned by Bubba Jourdan and leased by Earl

GARDENING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Raises Our Wellness (GROW) is a $15,000 grant which allows schools to plant a vegetable garden. “The garden will be a constant reminder for the students that good nutrition along with fruits and vegetables are an important part of a daily diet,� said district superintendent Dr. Lee Childress. Kindergarten through 4th grade students all got their hands dirty by helping plant numerous items in one of the 60 garden boxes which are 10-foot long by 4-foot wide. “Every class will have a box,� said principal Brian Knippers. “Once they are assigned a box, the students will research what they planted and learn how to care for it.� CES physical education teacher Brandon Robbins is the project manager of the garden and will be in charge of maintaining the 60
mini gardens. “We are looking at having everything done by the end of the week,� said Robbins, who was also getting help from the district’s maintenance crew and community volunteers on Tuesday. Knippers said items such onions, leeks, peppers, turnips, radishes, carrots, egg plants, corn, peas, cucumbers, beans, butter beans, squash, okra, tomatoes and strawberries are all slated to be planted this week. “We wanted to give the students something that was already growing to plant along with some seeds,� said the principal. “We are in a good climate here to grow anything we need.� The first harvest of the garden is expected to take place the last week of school in late May. “Our goal is to have a few things harvested by that time,� added
Knippers. Items raised will be used in the school cafeteria. The remaining items will be used for a farmer’s market at the school during the summer. Money taken in from the market will be used to sustain the year-round garden. “Once we get things set, all we have to do is buy new plants and seeds,� said Knippers of the garden located off the east patio area. The project is something everyone on campus can participate and that’s something both the principal and superintendent enjoy. “I like seeing both teachers and students involved in something like this,� said Knippers. “I like the fact students have the opportunity to experience something so many today don’t get to see,� added Childress. “The garden can be both an educational and joyful experience.�
begin around 11:45 a.m. at the Alcorn County courthouse. Other organized events will be held around the country with intercession made for America and its leadership. This year’s theme – “Pray for Americaâ€? – is based on the verse found in Matthew 12:21 which reminds us: In His name the nations will put their hope. “Today we are letting so many things go that God doesn’t approve of,â€? said Rev. Walker, who will be specifically praying for education during the event. “We need prayer in school ‌ we just need to come together and have a prayer time because I believe God hears our prayers and he answers those prayers.â€? The areas of prayer being lifted up on Thursday include government, church, military, family, education, media and business. Crosswind Ministries Executive Director Bobby Capps will be delivering prayer for the family. “There are very few moments in America’s official culture where we are encouraged and even allowed to cry out to God,â€? said Capps. “This is where for a moment we can pause and remember there is a
God.â€? Capps said now is the time for Christians “to start acting like Christiansâ€? in society. “We have allowed this loud, rowdy, minority voice to say we can’t love God and celebrate Him in public,â€? he said. “A small minority is trying to run God out of everything ‌ we need to quit caving in to that minority culture.â€? Dr. Prentiss “Budâ€? Gordon, of First United Methodist Church, will open things with a welcome while Tate Baptist pastor Mickey Trammel will be voicing the closing prayer. Other pastors speaking during the local prayer time include, Rev. Kim Ratliff, St. Mark Missionary Baptist; Dr. Don Elliott, First Presbyterian; Bro. Dennis Smith, First Baptist and Bro. Tim Nall, Farmington Baptist. The Corinth Middle School choir, led by Anita Temple, will sing two selections and Brock Thompson will blow the shofar. On April 17, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming the National Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Ronald Reagan amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer.

VFW Post 3962 to celebrate Loyalty Day BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Today is Sunday, April 28, the 118th day of 2013. There are 247 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 28, 1788, Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the Constitution of the United States. On this date: In 1789, rebelling crew members of the British ship HMS Bounty led by Fletcher Christian set Capt. William Bligh and 18 sailors adrift in a launch in the South Pacific. (Bligh and most of the men with him managed to reach Timor in 47 days.) In 1817, the United States and Britain signed the Rush-Bagot Treaty, which limited the number of naval vessels allowed in the Great Lakes. In 1918, Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and the archduke’s wife, Sophie, died in prison of tuberculosis. In 1945, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans as they attempted to flee the country. In 1952, war with Japan officially ended as a treaty signed in San Francisco the year before took effect. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as Supreme Allied commander in Europe; he was succeeded by Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. In 1963, at Broadway’s Tony Awards, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” was named best play while “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” won best musical. In 1967, heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali refused to be inducted into the Army, the same day General William C. Westmoreland told Congress the U.S. “would prevail in Vietnam.” In 1980, President Jimmy Carter accepted the resignation of Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, who had opposed the failed rescue mission aimed at freeing American hostages in Iran. In 1988, a flight attendant was killed and more than 60 persons injured when part of the roof of an Aloha Airlines Boeing 737 tore off during a flight from Hilo to Honolulu. In 1993, the first “Take Our Daughters to Work Day,” promoted by the New York-based Ms. Foundation, was held in an attempt to boost the self-esteem of girls by having them visit a parent’s place of work. (The event was later expanded to include sons.) Ten years ago: On Saddam Hussein’s 66th birthday, delegates from inside and outside Iraq agreed to hold a nationbuilding meeting and fashion a temporary, post-Saddam government. Five years ago: The first tax rebates were direct-deposited into bank accounts from a $168 billion stimulus package. One year ago: Syria derided United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as biased and called his comments “outrageous” after he blamed the regime for widespread cease-fire violations.

The VFW continues to remember patriots who risked their lives to bring freedom to the United States. As part of its tribute to those men and women, Post 3962 will celebrate Loyalty Day on Sunday, May 5 at the Post. “This will give some of our older members a chance to get together with new members as
a sort of a meet and greet,” said VFW Men’s Auxiliary President Tom Chartres. “We want anyone interested in knowing about the VFW to come out and get to know one another.” According to Chartres, the Ladies Auxiliary of the Post is spearheading the event set for 2-5 p.m. “There will also be membership information should anyone be interested in joining,” said
Chartres. Loyalty Day is held May 1 every year and began as “Americanization Day” in 1921 as a counter to the Communists celebration of the Russian Revolution. Congress designated May 1 of each year as Loyalty Day on July 18, 1958. Loyalty Day is an observance, but it is not a public holiday in the United States. Schools, post offices, stores and other busi-
nesses and organizations are open as usual. On May 1, 1930, about 10,000 Veterans of Foreign War members staged a rally at New York’s Union Square to promote patriotism. “The VFW is a staunch supporter of the day,” added Chartres. Hot dogs and hamburgers are being supplied by the Post during the event. Music will be provided by Lanny Cox.

ring, acquiring, retaining and possessing a biological agent, toxin and delivery system, for use as a weapon, to wit: ricin.” U.S. attorney Felicia Adams and Daniel McMullen, the FBI agent in charge in Mississippi, made the announcement in a news release Saturday. Dutschke’s attorney, Lori Nail Basham, said she had no comment. Earlier this week she said that Dutschke was cooperating fully with investigators and Dutschke has insisted he had nothing to do with the letters. He was arrested about 12:50 a.m. at his house in Tupelo and is expected in court Monday. He faces up to life in prison, if convicted. He already had legal problems. Earlier this month, he pleaded not guilty in state court to two child molestation charges involving three girls younger than 16.
He also was appealing a conviction on a different charge of indecent exposure. He told AP earlier this week that his lawyer told him not to comment on those cases. The letters, which tests showed were tainted with ricin, were sent April 8 to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Mississippi judge, Sadie Holland. Wicker spokesman Ryan Taylor said since the investigation was ongoing, the senator couldn’t comment. The first suspect fingered by the FBI was Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, an Elvis impersonator. He was arrested on April 17 at his Corinth home, but the charges were dropped six days later and Curtis, who says he was framed, was released from jail. The focus then turned to Dutschke, who has ties to the former suspect, the judge and the senator. Earlier in the week, as investigators searched his
But he said they later had a feud. Curtis’ attorneys have said they believe their client was set up. An FBI agent testified that no evidence of ricin was found in searches of Curtis’ home. Curtis attorney Hal Neilson said the defense gave authorities a list of people who may have had a reason to hurt Curtis and Dutschke came up. Judge Holland also is a common link between the two men, and both know Wicker. Holland was the presiding judge in a 2004 case in which Curtis was accused of assaulting a Tupelo attorney a year earlier. Holland sentenced him to six months in the county jail. He served only part of the sentence, according to his brother. And Holland’s family has had political skirmishes with Dutschke. Her son, Steve Holland, a Democratic state repre-
sentative, said he thinks his mother’s only other encounter with Dutschke was at a rally in the town of Verona in 2007, when Dutschke ran as a Republican against Steve Holland. Holland said his mother confronted Dutschke after he made a derogatory speech about the Holland family. She demanded that he apologize, which Holland says he did. On Saturday, Steve Holland said he can’t say for certain that Dutschke is the person who sent the letter to his mother but added, “I feel confident the FBI knows what they are doing.” “We’re ready for this long nightmare to be over,” Holland told The Associated Press. He said he’s not sure why someone would target his mother. Holland said he believes Dutschke would have more reason to target him than his mother.

primary residence in Tupelo, Dutschke told The Associated Press, “I don’t know how much more of this I can take.” “I’m a patriotic American. I don’t have any grudges against anybody. ... I did not send the letters,” Dutschke said. Curtis’ attorney, Christi McCoy, said Saturday: “We are relieved but also saddened. This crime is nothing short of diabolical. I have seen a lot of meanness in the past two decades, but this stops me in my tracks.” Some of the language in the letters was similar to posts on Curtis’ Facebook page and they were signed, “I am KC and I approve this message.” Curtis’ signoff online was often similar. And Dutschke and Curtis were acquainted. Curtis said they had talked about possibly publishing a book on a conspiracy that Curtis insists he has uncovered to sell body parts on a black market.

ATVs on city streets need to be ticketed Thanks so much, City of Corinth, Ward 2 Alderman Ben Albarracin for bringing to our attention the ongoing issue of people riding four wheelers and dirt bikes on city streets. Albarracin said in a recent interview with the Daily Corinthian he has heard from a number of concerned constituents. “ATVs have turned into a major safety issue within some of our residential neighborhoods,” said the alderman. “This is a problem many communities all over the U.S. are facing. The last thing any of us want to see is a child get severely injured while riding an ATV on our city streets.” We agree. Police Chief David Lancaster said it is a widespread problem, but the recent complaints have come from the northern residential areas of the city. “It is illegal to use four-wheelers or dirt bikes that are not equipped with tags and that are not street legal on the roadways,” noted the police chief. “With summer coming up, it is a safety concern, and we encourage people not to ride them on the city streets.” Some have expressed concern that the vehicles can be difficult for motorists to spot before coming upon them. This isn’t just a north Corinth problem. Many residents who live in the city blocks just outside the downtown area will testify it’s a common occurrence to see youngsters cruising on dirt bikes — some without helmets. The most horrifying scene is a man commonly seen riding his four-wheeler — with a toddler in his arms. And of course, the ATV rider has no helmet, nor his child. With many Corinth motorists being color blind when it comes to stop signs, this is a tragedy just waiting to happen. We say violators should be ticketed. That would be a good start. Daily Corinthian
Sound Off Something smells about intersection change First of all I don’t believe the mayor was overwhelmed with calls about Liddon Lake Road. The people of Corinth are simply not that engaged. I do find it interesting MDOT and Cook Coggin is wanting to spend over a quarter million dollars on this intersection. But a problem has arisen. The people don’t want it done the way they have it planned and in a childish move they have threatened the funding. That is a lot of money to re-signalize an intersection that only needs South Parkway widened to accommodate a left turn lane and a left turn signal. Something stinks here. First of all, it is about what the people want not what MDOT wants. It is taxpayer money, not theirs. It is also ridiculous to replace all of these perfectly functional signals. The cantilevered poles are nice, but not necessary. If they want traffic to flow quickly then someone needs to be perusing a US 72 bypass. The affected business should also be considered. I suspect this is more about the money, than anything else. Three hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. I fully support the residents of Liddon Lake Road. Don’t be bullied. The mayor and aldermen need to support their citizens. Rick Smith Corinth

A verse to share “And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.” — Judges 2:10
Militant Islam shows dark side of diversity “I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people,” said Edmund Burke of the rebellious Americans. The same holds true of Islam, the majority faith of 49 nations from Morocco to Indonesia, a religion that 1.6 billion people profess. Yet, some assertions appear true. Islam is growing in militancy and intolerance, evolving again into a fighting faith, and spreading not only through proselytizing, but violence. How to justify the charge of intolerance? The Taliban blew up the Bamiyan Buddhas. The Sufi shrines of Timbuktu were blown up by Ansar Dine. In Saudi Arabia, Iran and Afghanistan, Christian converts face the death sentence. In Nigeria, the Boko Haram attacks churches and kills Christians, as in Ethiopia and the Sudan, where the south seceded over the persecution. Has Islam become again a fighting faith? Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia are the sites of Islamist uprisings using terror to rip these statelets from Russia. “Islam has bloody borders,” wrote the late Samuel Huntington. They are bloodier today. At the time of 9/11, alQaida seemed confined to Afghanistan. Al-Qaida may now be found in the

Since Y2K, Islamists have perpetrated massacres in Mumbai, Madrid, London, Moscow, Beslan and Boston. Osama bin Laden appears no longer as popular as he once was, yet millions worldwide still admire him. Why? Islamism can also call upon true believers prepared to die for the cause. No other faith produces so many suicide bombers. Muslims counter-argue that America has killed many more noncombatants, in Iraq, and Afghanistan and Pakistan with drone strikes. What right, they ask, did we have to attack Iraq? Did we not ourselves stir up the nest of hornets that stung us in Boston? Yet there is another reality. While the clash of cultures widens between the West and Islam, leaders in the Muslim world can be found working with the United States against their own extremists. Jihadists are by no means a majority in the Islamic world, where they are also
feared and hated. And in the West, they are but a fraction of our Muslim communities. The crisis: Even a tiny minority of terrorists like the Tsarnaevs can so inflame tensions between the West and the Muslim world they can bring our two civilizations into conflict. Would we have fought those wars in Iraq and Afghanistan without the atrocity of 9/11? What are the goals of the jihadists? Expulsion of Christians and infidels from the Dar alIslam, the house of Islam. Expulsion of the American Crusaders. Overthrow of Muslim rulers who collude with the Great Satan. Annihilation of Israel. Death to all who insult the Prophet. Ultimate goal: Bring the world to acknowledge and act on the truth that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet. And while the Islamic world remains far inferior in technology and manufacturing and military power, Muslim peoples are far more numerous and devout. With a fourth of mankind, their birth rate is higher and their numbers soaring, along with their militancy at home and in the diaspora. In population and territory, the West is shrinking, while our Muslim minorities are growing and becoming more assertive in their demands. “No army can withstand
the strength of an idea whose time has come,” said Victor Hugo. Many in the Muslim world believe that as the Christian West dominated for 500 years, their time has come. How do we deal with this irreconcilable conflict between a secular West and a resurgent Islam? First, as it is our presence in their world that enrages so many, we should end our interventions, shut down the empire and let Muslim rulers deal with Muslim radicals. Second, we need a moratorium on immigration from the Islamic world. Inevitably, some of the young we bring in, like the Tsarnaevs, will yield to radicalization and seek to strike a blow for Islam against us. What benefit do we derive as a people to justify the risks we take by opening up America to mass migration from a world aflame with hatred and hostility over race, ethnicity, culture, history and faith? Why are we bringing all of the world’s quarrelsome minorities, and all the world’s quarrels with them, into our home? What we saw in Boston was the dark side of diversity.

No boundaries creates big security problem One of the consequences of abandoning a standard by which right and wrong can be judged is our increasing inability to mete out punishment that fits the crime. In fact, too often we weigh extenuating circumstances rather than guilty actions. In the case of the Boston bombers, observers search for reasons why the attacks occurred. But the failure to view the attackers as anything other than simply guilty and judge them accordingly, is similar to the U.S. government’s attitude toward the Middle East, which often sees Israel as the major impediment to peace. There is little expectation that Israel’s enemies be held accountable, much less punished for terrorist acts, hateful rhetoric against Jews and their refusal to reciprocate Israel’s peace offerings. The irrational reasoning goes that we must work to understand why they hate and kill, not hold them accountable for hating and killing. The Tsarnaev brothers are killers. They should be punished as killers. The surviving bomber, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has been charged

with using a “weapon of mass destruction.” The U.S. government could have Cal charged him Thomas with a lot more. Why Columnist didn’t it? Does not charging Tsarnaev with more lessen the severity of what happened in Boston? The Obama administration should have included treason among the charges and designated Tsarnaev as an enemy combatant in this “war on terror.” This administration has been reluctant to try terrorists in military courts. It attempted to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in the Manhattan federal courthouse, not Guantanamo. Faced with widespread opposition, the U.S. government quickly abandoned its plans. Tsarnaev, a naturalized U.S. citizen, and therefore entitled to all the rights of citizenship, will be tried in U.S. federal court. He should be tried by military tribunal. Tsarnaev is a traitor to his adopted country. When he took the oath of citizenship
last Sept. 11, of all dates, he swore allegiance to America. Whether he lied about his intentions at the time, or became “radicalized” since then, the acts he and his brother are alleged to have committed are treasonous. He is an enemy combatant. Refusing to label Tsarnaev’s actions for what they are — traitorous — does not change the nature of the act, or the intentions behind it. But that’s what President Obama seems to be doing elsewhere. Foxnews.com reported in 2010 that, according to counterterrorism officials, there was a proposal by the Obama administration to remove religious terms such as “Islamic extremism” from the National Security Strategy document, a radical shift in language from previous documents. That year, the Washington Times reported, the Department of Homeland Security’s Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, “... does not use the words ‘Islam’ or ‘Islamist’ a single time.” How will erasing a few words from the National Security Strategy lead to Muslim nations making nice? The president’s 2009 “outreach” speech in Cairo

did nothing to change the dynamic between many Muslim nations and the West, and there appears little or no evidence that similar efforts have changed anything since. Here is what the National Security Strategy document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventative war said: “The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the greatest ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century.” Is this not true? If it is true, how will massaging the language reduce the likelihood of future terrorist acts? How will not fitting the punishment to the crime make us any safer? Having removed many of the boundaries of right and wrong and forgetting what makes an American an American, we are finding it difficult now to redraw boundaries that will keep us safe at a time when we need it most. Call terror by its rightful name. Judge Dzhokhar Tsarnaev by the crimes he has committed and let his punishment fit them.

Inquiry proceeds in bombing probe BOSTON — With the Boston marathon bombing suspect in a prison hospital, investigators are pushing forward in the U.S. and abroad to piece together the myriad details of a plot that killed three people and injured more than 260. FBI agents have wrapped up a two-day search at a landfill near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where 19-year-old suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was a sophomore. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wouldn’t say what investigators were looking for or whether they recovered anything from the landfill before the search ended Friday. A federal law enforcement official not authorized to speak on the record about the investigation told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Friday that the FBI was gathering evidence regarding “everything imaginable.” Meanwhile, U.S. officials said the bombing suspects’ mother had been added to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the April 15 attack — a disclosure that deepens the mystery around the Tsarnaev family and marks the first time American authorities have acknowledged that Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was under investigation before the tragedy. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with joining with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, now dead, in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Investigators have said it appears the brothers were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Two government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, said the CIA had Zubeidat Tsarnaeva’s
name added to the terror database along with that of her son Tamerlan after Russia contacted the agency in 2011 with concerns that the two were religious militants.
Possible 9/11 plane landing gear found NEW YORK — A rusted 5-foot-tall piece of landing gear believed to be from one of the hijacked planes destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks has been discovered near the World Trade Center wedged between a luxury apartment building and a mosque site that once prompted virulent national debate about Islam and free speech. The twisted metal part, jammed in an 18-inchwide sliver of open space between the buildings, has cables and levers on it and is about 17 inches wide and 4 feet long, New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Friday. “It’s a manifestation of a horrific terrorist act a block and a half away from where we stand,” he said. “So, sure, it brings back terrible memories to anyone who was here or who was involved in that event.” Kelly edged down the narrow passageway to look at the object Friday evening, noting there is also a piece of rope intertwined with the part in what looks like a broken pulley that may have come down from the roof of the site of the planned Islamic community center, at 51 Park Place. The piece of equipment was discovered Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the lower Manhattan site of a planned Islamic community center on behalf of the building’s owner, police said. An inspector was on the roof and noticed the debris and then called 911. Police secured the scene, documenting it with photos. It includes a clearly visible Boeing Co. iden-

tification number, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. “The odds of this being wedged between there is amazing,” Browne said, adding it was not surprising that it went undiscovered for more than a decade given the location. “It had to have fallen just the right way to make it into that space.” Other World Trade Center wreckage had been discovered at the buildings and around the area in years past. Police detectives and National Transportation Safety Board investigators will determine whether the equipment is from the American Airlines plane or the United Airlines plane that slammed into the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, destroying the towers and killing nearly 3,000 people.
Mom gets 51 years in newborn deaths NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee woman convicted of murdering her newborn twins was sentenced Friday to a minimum of 51 years in prison, despite her family pleading with the judge who said he found the 26-year-old untruthful and selfish. Lindsey Lowe was convicted last month of felony murder, premeditated murder and aggravated child abuse. The murder charges carry an automatic life sentence. At a Friday hearing in Gallatin, Sumner County Criminal Court Judge Dee David Gay sentenced Lowe to the maximum 25 years on each of the aggravated child abuse charges. However, Gay ordered the sentences for murder and child abuse to be served at the same time, not tacked on. The courtroom was packed with Lowe’s friends and family, several of whom gave emotional testimony on her behalf.

Tupelo unveils civil rights marker TUPELO — A new civil rights marker in Tupelo commemorates a 1960s sit-in by blacks at the lunch counter at the local F.W. Woolworth store. Reed’s Gumtree Book Store is now located at the downtown site of the old Woolworth’s. The marker was placed Friday. The sign has the full story of the event. The sit-in was one of many staged around the country to protest Woolworth’s policy to racially segregate seating at lunch counters. Protest participant the Rev. Robert Jamison of Tupelo says the sit-in was peaceful, compared to others around the South that often resulted in violence and arrests. He credited that to “good-thinking, true individuals” in the city.
Mental health expansion approved OLIVE BRANCH — Parkwood Behavioral Health System in Olive Branch has been given state approval to add 20 acute adult psychiatric beds at its mental health facility. The Mississippi State Department of Health issued a certificate of need for the project this week. Mississippi requires a CON in a process designed to avoid duplication of health care services and control costs. The behavioral health and chemical dependen-
cy center will construct a 12,000-square-foot addition and renovate 750-square-feet of existing space. The project will cost $4.8 million.
Health officials try to avoid job cuts JACKSON — Top officials at the Mississippi State Department of Health say they’re trying to prevent layoffs for 41 employees and 41 contract workers who were part of a program to help women with highrisk pregnancies. Dr. Mary Currier, the state health officer, said Friday that the social workers were told April 15 their jobs could be eliminated July 1. The 82 people were among 187 who worked for a program to help women with high-risk pregnancies. In December, the program was moved out of the Health Department and into a managed-care program that’s under the Division of Medicaid. More than 100 of the employees who had worked for the high-risk pregnancy program were moved into other Health Department jobs, Currier said. But the Health Department had no other duties for the 82 social workers. Currier said it’s possible the high-risk pregnancy program will be moved back to the Health Department before July 1. If that happens, the 82 jobs would be saved, she said. Some lawmakers said Friday they had received calls from constituents worried about Health
Department layoffs. A group of House members called Currier to the Capitol so she could explain what’s happening. Currier said she had spoken earlier in the day to the Division of Medicaid executive director, Dr. David J. Dzielak, about the possibility of moving the high-risk pregnancy program back to the Health Department. Medicaid spokeswoman Erin Barham confirmed in a separate interview that leaders of the two agencies are talking.
Abortion-inducing drugs to be regulated JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has signed a bill that regulates the prescription and use of abortion-inducing drugs. He signed Senate Bill 2795 on Thursday, and it becomes law July 1. It says a physician must be present when a woman takes drugs prescribed to end a pregnancy in its early weeks. It also says the woman must have a follow-up physical examination two weeks later. The current practice at Mississippi’s only abortion clinic is for each woman to have a sonogram to determine how far along the pregnancy is. Those who take the prescription are given some of the medication at the clinic and the rest to take at home on subsequent days. The clinic advises women to have a followup exam three weeks later.

Okolona revisits repo regulations Associated Press
OKOLONA — The city of Okolona will hold a public hearing May 14 to sort out complaints that its new ordinance for repossessing vehicles runs afoul of laws already in place. The Okolona Board of Aldermen voted in March to adopt rules for companies and individuals repossessing cars in the community in response to an altercation earlier this year. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the board backed up this week and scheduled the public hearing. “I heard from bankers who said they contract with these companies, it’s part of business and they are following the law,� said Mayor Louise Cole. Cole said a public hearing would address everyone’s concerns. Alderman Elderidge Lowe said,
“People need to pay what they owe and it is legal to repossess a car. I do think what we are trying to do will just make it safer for everyone.� The city’s action in March was sparked by an incident where a vehicle was repossessed at night and the owner thought it was being stolen. Okolona police were called to the scene. The city wanted to require companies and individuals who repossess cars to register with the police department. Those companies would have been required to identify and describe those wreckers and individuals who are picking up cars. The police department has asked the companies to contact them if they think they may have a problem with a repossession or if they are just looking for information on the individual, location and owner of the car.

Flight nurse proves nothing is impossible Air Evac Lifeteam ight nurse Gail Hudson can start an IV as fast as any other nurse. That surprises many people who watch her do it …without ngers. Hudson, a ight nurse at the Corinth base, celebrated 11 years with Air Evac Lifeteam in April. She is used to ghting to help save others, but Hudson had just barely started with the company when she had to ght for her own life. “I was hired to work at the base in Cullman, Ala., ” Hudson said. “I completed the academy and went in for a hysterectomy on Dec. 28, 2000. I went home New Year ’s Eve, but woke up New Year ’s Day in pain. ” Hudson was back in the operating room on January 2, 2001. Her body was lled with infection, and the hospital called her family in to break the news. “They told my family I
was going to die, ” Hudson recalled. “Something dirty was used during my initial surgery, and I had a staph and strep infection and ended up with Toxic Shock Syndrome. ” Hudson was on a ventilator for 23 days and in the Intensive Care Unit for 25 days. When she woke up, her Air Evac ight wings were pinned to her pillow. “Flight nurse Kevin Walls and ight paramedic Bruce Carson pinned my wings to the pillow, and told me I had to get better so I could come to work, ” Hudson said. “My family said it was like daylight and dark after they visited. I started to get better real quick. They gave me a chance to do something I didn ’t think I ’d be able to do after that. ” First, though, Hudson had to learn how to do things a little differently. When she woke up her ngers and toes were
dead. Within six months all of her toes and nine of her ngers were removed. “I didn ’t think I ’d be able to nurse, let alone still work for Air Evac and y, ” she said. “After 11 months I was back to work at the emergency room in Muscle Shoals, Ala. David Gardner was my boss at the ER in Muscle Shoals (he is now the program director for the Air Evac Lifeteam base in Muscle Shoals). ” “Deb Milner was the chief ight nurse back then, and she was full of spunk. She came through the area while making the rounds at the bases and found out I was working. Deb talked with David about my skill level and found out what I was and wasn ’t able to do. She asked me if I was ready to try. I told her I didn ’t have my ngers and toes. She said, ‘Is there anything wrong with your mind? ’ ” Hudson ofcially started with Air Evac Lifeteam
in April 2002. She said so many people put a lot of faith in her. “Air Evac was just great, ” she said. “I ’ve had hospitals look at me like they couldn ’t believe I was actually doing this. There ’s not anything I can ’t do. We have lots of nubby jokes around here. It is what it is …I can ’t grow them back. I decided from the beginning that I couldn ’t get bitter because I couldn ’t change it. ” She loves her job as a ight nurse, and she loves Air Evac Lifeteam ’s mission of serving those who typically live at least 70 miles from the nearest trauma center. Air Evac Lifeteam has 113 bases in 15 states, and each base is staffed 24/7 with a nurse, paramedic and pilot. The crew is ready to y to the scene of an emergency, or transport patients between medical facilities. It ’s all about providing safe, rapid access to qual-

Local 4-H volunteer devotes 50 years to youth progress BY SUSAN COLLINS-SMITH MSU Ag Communications
Marcia Ann Glisson believes in the power of youth. That ’s why she has spent more than 50 years as an Alcorn County 4-H volunteer. And she has no plans to give it up anytime soon. “It ’s just something that is in my blood, ” said Glisson, who currently serves as a member of the Alcorn County 4-H Advisory Council. “I was in 4-H, and all four of my children were in 4-H. ” Glisson served as a club leader for a few years
when her children were young but now devotes her time to the advisory council. As an advisory council member, Glisson coordinates fundraising events, serves as the 4-H liaison for the West Corinth Community Homemakers Club and helps rally support for 4-H throughout the community. She also serves as a judge for various contests and helps shape the state ’s 4-H curriculum. “Ms. Glisson is a wonderful supporter and ambassador for our program here in the county, ” said Tammy Parker, 4-H agent with Mississippi State Uni-
versity ’s Extension Service in Alcorn County. “Her understanding of the program as a member, club leader, parent and advisory member is very valuable to 4-H. She brings great experience to the table, and that is so important in gaining the support of the community. ” Glisson, a retired teacher and medical librarian, had many opportunities through the years to serve her community but always chose to serve in 4-H. 4-H is the youth development program of the MSU Extension Service. “I believe in 4-H because I ’ve seen the impact
Hume completes National Guard basic training Army National Guard Pvt. Jonathon W. Hume has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C. During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition
and core values, physical tness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rie marksmanship, armed
and unarmed combat, map reading, eld tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic rst aid, foot marches, and eld training exercises. Hume is a 2012 graduate of Kossuth High School.
it has on children, ” Glisson said. “4-H gives kids the opportunity to be a step ahead of others because of the opportunities 4-H ’ers are given to lead. When I judge school book fairs or science fairs, I can always tell which children are in 4-H because they communicate better. ” After 50 years of volunteer service, she has a unique perspective on the impact 4-H makes. “I ’ve kept up with most of the kids who were in my club, and they ’ve all done quite well. The program areas they studied in 4-H led a lot of them to the elds they are in
now, ” Glisson said. “One of my daughters is an interior designer and the other studied fashion. Some of the other 4-H ’ers are nurses and social workers. ” About 12 years ago, Glisson helped found a scholarship for Alcorn County senior 4-H ’ers. “We award up to eight $250 scholarships per year from this fund, ” Parkersaid. “On average, we award $1,000 each year. ” Harvey Gordon, Extension 4-H volunteer development specialist, said Glisson has made a difference in the lives of many young people. “Without individuals
like Ms. Glisson, it would be impossible for youth to reach their full potential, ” Gordon said. National 4-H Volunteer Week, held April 2127, recognizes the efforts of adult 4-H volunteers, such as Glisson. “Volunteers are the lifeblood of 4-H youth development programs, ” Gordon said. “Without the volunteers, it would be impossible for us to provide the wide range of life skills training we offer. ” Individuals interested in becoming 4-H volunteers should check with the local Extension ofce for more information.

Consumer spending accelerates economy BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON — U.S. economic growth accelerated to an annual rate of 2.5 percent from January through March, buoyed by the strongest consumer spending in more than two years. Government spending fell, though, and tax increases and federal budget cuts could slow growth later this year. The Commerce Department said Friday that the economy rebounded from an anemic 0.4 percent annual growth rate in the October-December quarter. Consumer spending surged at an annual rate of 3.2 percent — its biggest jump since the end of 2010. Growth was also helped by businesses, which responded to the greater demand by rebuilding their stockpiles. And home construction rose further. Government spending sank at a 4.1 percent annual rate, led by another deep cut in defense spending. The decline kept last quarter’s increase in economic growth below expectations of a 3 percent rate or more. Many economists say they think growth as mea-
sured by the gross domestic product is slowing in the April-June quarter to an annual rate of just 2 percent. Most foresee growth remaining around that subpar level for the rest of the year.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Coming Saturday, May 4 — Crossroads Magazine Sports Rewind Edition.
Dad anticipates tough talks with his teenage daughters DEAR ABBY: As a father of two teenage daughters, I have a question about couples living together. Do relationships that start this way have a higher failure rate than those that don’t? What should be considered when a young girl has the “living together” question presented to her by a young man? And most important, what can I as a father do to help my daughters make an intelligent decision about this, other than just “load my shotgun” (LOL)? As always, thank you for broadening my wisdom horizon and giving me examples of solid advice from which both my and my family’s life have been enriched. — LONGTIME FAN IN OHIO DEAR LONGTIME FAN: It depends upon whether the couple living together are engaged to be married and their level of education. From what I’ve read, the higher the level of education, the more stable the couple will be. If the question is presented to your daughters, ideally you will have gotten to know the young man, and the relationship will have developed beyond the casual stage. However, I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of your girls being independent, self-supporting and completing their education before they decide to do this. DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I are hoping you could shed some light on the practice of throwing rice at a wedding. Abigail We were not wonVan Buren only dering when and how Dear Abby the practice started, but also do people still throw rice today at weddings? We had heard that guests had stopped doing so to help protect wildlife (especially birds). Have you found this to be true? If so, what do we throw now? — EMPTY-HANDED IN WISCONSIN DEAR EMPTY-HANDED: Rice-throwing is a tradition that may date back to ancient Rome and Egypt or even earlier. It was a ritual having to do with fertility — many grains of rice equating to having many children. In some countries, the couple is pelted with dates, raisins or even eggs, according to Ask Yahoo. According to Emily Post: “All the traditional materials have their drawbacks: Rice can be dangerous for birds if ingested; birdseed can sprout weeds in unwanted places; rose petals are notoriously slippery; and even bubbles can stain a gown. Instead, you might distribute colored flags or streamers for
guests to wave. ... It beats assigning someone the nearly impossible task of trying to recover grains and seeds from grass and flower beds.” DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have three daughters, identical triplets. We, like many parents of multiples, are tired of questions and unsolicited comments from strangers concerning IVF — which we did not use, hence “identical” — or anything else triplet-related. I don’t think people realize how rude they are being. I have been asked when did I know, how much did they weigh, what are their full names, etc. Abby, would you please discuss baby etiquette with the world? I do not feel questions about my children from total strangers are appropriate. They even make me feel unsafe. — MULTIPLE MOM IN OKLAHOMA DEAR MULTIPLE MOM: Identical triplets are unusual, and what the questioners are doing is exhibiting natural curiosity. While I agree that asking how your daughters were conceived is inappropriate, a polite way to respond would be to say, “They were conceived with love.” (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). Manual labor, especially having to do with cleaning up your environment, is the fastest way to feeling better. Clear a counter, desk or table, and your mind becomes fresh and clear, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The creativity is flowing for you, and you’ll come up with exciting ideas — not all of them practical. Test them out on a Virgo or Capricorn to find out which ones are the best. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The compromises you’ve been making are starting to add up to a vague dissatisfaction with the way things are. What needs to happen for you to feel like you’re getting more of what you want? CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could get by on charm, but you prefer not to. You want to contribute something useful, and with all you’ve learned, it’s easy for you to do so. Charm becomes unnecessary when you can deliver the real deal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s always easier to talk about what other people should do than it is to command your own ship. The wise individual won’t comment; he is too busy steering his own vessel. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have options about where to spend your money. You won’t regret the choices that have to do with increasing your domestic satisfaction on a day-to-day basis. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s important to feel a sense of progress, especially when you’re bummed out. Forget your hard challenges for a while, and tackle a job or game that’s easily done, easily won. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When people are ready to learn, the learning happens easily and quickly. Teach those who are in the “ready” position. Those who aren’t ready may become inspired as they watch. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As the sign of the archer,
you are always immensely satisfied when you hit your mark. If you don’t have a target, you rob yourself of that satisfaction. Make some goals just for the fun of it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Children desire to be very grown up, so in a sense, being a grownup is a childish desire with which adults needn’t be overly concerned. Who said that grown people should always act like grownups? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can’t please everyone, so the best thing to do is aim to please yourself. You’ll be amazed at the number of faces you’ll put smiles on while following through with what you believe to be purely selfish motives. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some tasks are like boomerangs, always giving you more to do and never finished until you decide you’re not going to play that game anymore. In some sense, you’ll have to put down your “toy” in order to be free.

Bulls, Grizzlies earn playoff wins Associated Press
CHICAGO — Nate Robinson scored 34 points, and the Chicago Bulls wiped out a 14-point deficit late in regulation and beat the Brooklyn Nets 142-134 in triple overtime Saturday to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round playoff series. The Bulls were trailing 10995 with less than 4 minutes to go in the fourth quarter when Robinson put the Bulls on his back and carried them to the wild victory. He scored all but five of his points after the third quarter, including the first 12 in a 14-0 run that wiped out the deficit. Then, with 2 seconds left in the first overtime, he banked in a go-ahead jumper over Deron Williams.
Joe Johnson answered with one of his own to send it into a second overtime, tied at 121. The Bulls had a chance to win in the closing seconds of the next extra session, but Joakim Noah was blocked, and the game went to a third overtime. The Bulls finally pulled away after Williams (32 points) drove for a layup to pull Brooklyn to 133-130 — the only points for him after regulation — with 3 minutes left. Luol Deng answered with a basket to make it a five-point game, and Nazr Mohammed came up with two baskets in the final 32 seconds to help preserve the win. He scored on a jump hook, then grabbed the rebound and scored with 19 seconds left af-
ter Carlos Boozer made a free throw and missed the second, making it 140-134. The Bulls will try to wrap up the best-of-seven series at Brooklyn on Monday night.
Grizzlies 104, Clippers 83 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol had 24 points and 13 rebounds, and Memphis beat Los Angeles to even the firstround playoff series at 2-all. Zach Randolph finished with 24 points and nine rebounds as the Grizzlies won their second straight to ensure another stop in Memphis for Game 6. Mike Conley had 15 points and 13 assists, and Tayshaun Prince scored 15 in his best game of the series.
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin had 19 points apiece for the Clippers, and Griffin also grabbed 10 rebounds. Los Angeles’ reserves outscored its counterparts again, 43-16. But DeAndre Jordan was the only other starter to score for Los Angeles, and he had two points. Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler went a combined 0 for 10 from the floor in being shut out. Game 5 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

USC’s Barkley, 3 other QBs picked in 4th round BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press
NEW YORK — This was one rush quarterbacks embraced. Starting with Matt Barkley, the fourth round of the NFL draft was the landing spot for quarterbacks who carried hopes of going much higher. Philadelphia traded up with Jacksonville to get the Southern California QB with the opening pick Saturday. “I try not to get stressed about things I can’t control,” Barkley said when asked about his drop in the draft from likely first-rounder in 2012 to No. 98 overall. “I’m just glad I know where my home is and I can’t wait to hit the playbook.” Yes, it was three rounds later than Barkley hoped for. Same thing for Ryan Nassib
of Syracuse, Landry Jones of Oklahoma and Tyler Wilson of Arkansas, the other quarterbacks chosen in Round 4. “We’re going to take the best value on the board,” coach Chip Kelly said, adding the Eagles rated Barkley in the top 50. “There’s a prime example. The best value on the board by far was Matt. He’s an extremely mature young man, intelligent, articulate. He has that ‘it’ factor.” Perhaps. But he seemed to have a lot more of it last year, but Barkley opted to return to school. He and the Trojans slumped, Barkley injured his shoulder, and his stock plummeted. He will join quarterbacks Michael Vick and Nick Foles in Philadelphia. The New York Giants,
hardly in need of a quarterback with Eli Manning in his prime, still dealt with Arizona to move up for Nassib. Nassib, from the Philadelphia suburbs, took a call from Giants coach Tom Coughlin, but wasn’t sure what Coughlin told him. “To be honest with you, I blacked out. I didn’t get everything,” Nassib said. “What I did get from him was that first off I had to cut my ties with the Philadelphia Eagles and switch, which won’t be a problem.” Oakland, which acquired Matt Flynn from Seattle in the offseason to be its starter, followed two picks later at No. 112 overall with Wilson. Three spots after that, Pittsburgh grabbed Jones, probably hoping to groom
him behind Ben Roethlisberger. “I just think it was time to start grooming a new player, freshen up the room if you will,” quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner said. “I get to learn from one of the best quarterbacks to play the game,” Jones added. Before Saturday’s surge, quarterbacks were rare — only one was chosen in each of the first three rounds: Florida State’s EJ Manuel by Buffalo in the first round; West Virginia’s Geno Smith by the Jets in the second; and North Carolina State’s Mike Glennon by Tampa Bay in the third. In all, 11 QBs were selected, the same number as last year. But four went in the first round in 2012.

ries against Indiana, blowing out the Pacers in Game 3. Playing with much more urgency than they did in two double-digit losses at Indianapolis, the Hawks raced to a 54-30 halftime lead and narrowed the best-of-seven series to 2-1. Game 4 is Monday night in Atlanta, where the Hawks have won 12 straight over the Pacers dating to 2006. The Hawks changed up their lineup — inserting 7-footer Johan Petro at center and bringing 3-point specialist Kyle Korver off the bench — after getting manhandled on the road. With more favorable matchups and a lot more energy, Atlanta suddenly made a series of it. Indiana, which looked so dominant on its home court, was a totally different team after heading south. David West led the Pacers with 18 points. Paul George, who averaged 25 points in the first two games, was held to 16 on 4-of-11 shooting.

NEMCC seeks Alumni Hall of Fame nominations Northeast Mississippi Community College officials are seeking nominations for the school’s Alumni Hall of Fame. Entering its second class, Northeast’s Alumni Hall of Fame was created to recognize the achievement of outstanding alumnus of Northeast. A maximum of five honorees will be inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame each year. Criteria for nominees includes having a verifiable academic transcript
from Northeast Mississippi Community or Junior College, to have demonstrated outstanding traits of leadership and character, be distinguished in one’s chosen profession, to have career, service and/or volunteer accomplishments and to have demonstrated a high level of integrity in one’s personal life. Preference will be given to those who have shown continuing support for the college through con-
tribution of time, talent and/or resources. “With the creation of the Alumni Hall of Fame, Dr. Allen wanted to recognize the achievement of outstanding Northeast alumni who have excelled personally and professionally by making a continued and significant difference in their community on a local, state, national or international level,” said Patrick Eaton, executive director of the Northeast Development
foundation. Nominations may be initiated by anyone, including the nominee. All nominations must be received in electronic form (e-mail) and include a completed nomination form, a letter of explanation, two letters of support and an electronic photo. A complete outline of the nomination process and the nomination form is found on the Northeast Development Foundation web site on the Northeast web-

During the inaugural class of the Northeast Alumni Hall of Fame, major general Augustus L. “Leon” Collins and former speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives, the honorable William J. “Billy Joe” McCoy made up the first class of Alumni Hall of Fame in-
ductees. “Alumni are our most treasured asset,” said Eaton, “so it is a privilege to have the opportunity to recognize their many accomplishments.” For more information, or questions regarding how to make a nomination, contact the Northeast Development Foundation at 662-720-7185 or by email at tsjohnson@ nemcc.edu.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi is home to a wide variety of creatures, and warmer spring temperatures bring many of them — including snakes — out into the sun. “We have 35 species of nonvenomous snakes and just 6 species of venomous snakes,” said Adam Tullos, who specializes in wildlife management with the Mississippi State University Extension

Snakes benefit people by keeping insect, reptile and small mammal populations under control.” Tullos, who works at the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center, said as temperatures rise in spring, snakes become more active. “Snakes come out about the time turkey hunting is at its best,” he said. “I encourage hunters to wear snake guards or knee-

high snake boots when trudging through the woods.” Tullos said outdoor adventurers need to watch where they step when hiking, camping, canoeing and boating, because snakes love to sun on the trail and water’s edge. “If you see a snake, take two steps back to get out of the strike zone. Then take a deep breath and try to identify it,” he said. “Is it rattling or hissing? If it’s in an aggressive position, action might be required. If it’s minding its own business, leave it alone for 20 minutes to see if it will go away on its own.” Allowing nonvenomous snakes to pursue rodents, such as moles and voles, can benefit Mississippi’s landscapes. “When we remove our reptilian friends from our landscapes, gardens and lawns, we risk opening ourselves to increased rodent problems. The lack of environmental controls, like predators, allows rodent populations to expand rapidly,” he said. Several species of snakes typically found around Mississippi gar-

dens are beneficial, such as gray rat, garter, black racer, brown, Eastern hog nose, corn and the snakeeating king snake. Jarrod Fogarty, biology instructor at MSU’s Meridian campus, said cleaning up around your house and yard removes the desired food source – rats and mice. “People want to store gardening pots and supplies around the house and in the garage, but they’ll attract mice, and subsequently, snakes,” he said. The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science maintains a list of reptile and amphibians at http:// bit.ly/ZYLgxx. Two MSU Extension Service publications about snakes are available at http://msucares.com: IS-641, “Snakes Alive!

History
Sunday, April 28, 2013
Story of an almost average Union officer This story begins across the pond in Europe. In 1838 Wilhelm Henrich Mengel was born in Hesse-Kassel Germany. Little is known about this young Hessian’s early life but the winds of political strife and revolution were blowing and the Mengel family departed for America when Wilhelm was nine years old. The family Tom put down roots Parson in the town of California, MisPark Ranger souri and once he came of age, Wilhelm Henrich changed his name to William Henry. He took a job as a clerk in a retail store and settled into a good life in the heavily German community. California is smack dab in the middle of the state and during the war years the region was known as Little Dixie, since most of the folks supported secession and the Confederacy. William, however, supported the Union. At the start of the war he enlisted in a Missouri Home Guard regiment and was quickly promoted to 1st Sergeant and then to 2nd Lieutenant. His enlistment papers describe him as being 5’ 11”, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and a dark complexion. One of his first assignments was to take a detachment of 20 men and keep guard over a steamboat in Lexington on the Missouri River. There was a small battle in Lexington in September, 1861, and the victory went to the Confederates under General Sterling Price. William was among the prisoners and was quickly released on a “parole of honor.” By the time he was exchanged, his unit had been disbanded and he once again enlisted, this time as 1st Sergeant in Company G of the 26th Missouri Infantry. In no time at all he was a lieutenant again and was eventually promoted to captain. William kept a diary of his life as a soldier and his entries in the spring of 1862 record his movements in Missouri and then on to the campaign and capture of Island No. 10 near New Madrid. Reading the diary is both fascinating and frustrating. William wrote about a great many things, but unfortunately his handwriting is only a little better than his spelling. When he was describing the fighting in Lexington he wrote, “fight comenced and we hat to run like turkis.” The 26th Missouri was part of the Army of the Mississippi during the May, 1862, Siege of Corinth, and they spent most

Frequent diary entries describe the sounds of musketry and cannonading in the distance. At the end of the siege, the 26th Missouri joined in the pursuit of the Southern army. William talks about marching through Corinth, Danville and Kossuth. I won’t even tell you how he tried to spell Kossuth! For two weeks the regiment camped along Clear Creek to the south of Corinth. The weather was mild and the men were pleased with their newly issued Springfield rifles. On June 17th William wrote, “Pleasant. I visit today one of the finest springs I ever seen.” He was describing Lion Head Spring near Bridge Creek. Most of the summer was spent in camps around Rienzi and Jacinto. In September the men marched with General Rosecrans to Iuka and were in the thick of the battle on the 19th. “When the fight began we first fell back but regained our position and fought from 4 o’clock p.m. till dark, holding the field.” William fought in command of Company G and lost nine of his men. A few weeks later, at the Battle of Corinth, the 26th Missouri was lightly engaged on the first day of fighting. The next morning, October 4th, he wrote “Battle with Artillery openet at break of day, firing heavy.” The regiment was on the extreme right of the Union line of battle, a block east of where the junior
high school is today. The next evening he was able to report, “The Rebels have flead off in great disorder.” In the months and years to follow, the 26th Missouri participated in the Vicksburg campaigns, the taking of Atlanta and the March to the Sea. In January of 1865 William’s three years were up and he resigned his commission and returned to his home in California, Mo. On Christmas Eve of that year, he married Lizzie Meyer, a girl from a good German family, and they raised six children together. William opened a dry goods store and later ran a lumber yard. He was active in the veterans group, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), and attended all of the regimental reunions. At the age of 79 he passed away at his house in California. So what makes William’s story any different than anyone else’s? Just one thing. This particular average officer spent virtually the entire war with a bullet lodged in his chest. Way back in 1861, during the fighting at Lexington, a bullet entered just below his collar bone, passed through his lung and lodged next to his spine. He was never admitted to a hospital but was treated in camp by the regimental surgeon. The doctor put a dressing on the wound and that was that. A wound that was almost always fatal was given little more than

When he was describing the fighting in Lexington he wrote, “fight comenced and we hat to run like turkis.” a Band-Aid. The wound, which never really healed, caused him little discomfort during the war. Fourteen years later the pain had grown to the point where William applied for a pension for disability. For the next two years he collected statements and affidavits from his old comrades who could testify as to how and where he had been shot. In 1881 he was granted a $15 a month pension. In 1886, with the bullet still lodged against his spine, he applied for an increase which was denied. Eventually the amount was raised to $30 a month. It is amazing to think of, in this age of entitlements, that a young immigrant soldier with an ounce of lead buried in his chest would not even consider asking his government for money for nearly 20 years. He could have taken a discharge for disability and avoided the many battles and campaigns of the 26th Missouri. What is even more amazing
is that it never even seems to have crossed his mind. His diary contains no entries about his wound other than a mention in the early pages. He just soldiered on. He was a proud young American who felt he had a job to do and was not willing to stop until victory was assured. While writing about William, I was reminded of the lyrics in the third verse of that great song, “America, the Beautiful” “O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life!” What an incredible line, “Who more than self their country loved.” It takes a special man or woman to fit that description and it certainly describes William Mengel. We could use a lot more like him. (Tom Parson is a National Park Service ranger at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.)
Peabody Hotel and the Brinkley connection Robert Campbell Brinkley, who usually signed his name as “R.C.,” went to Memphis, Tenn., as a lawyer. The son of William Brinkley and Margaret Garrett Campbell Brinkley, R.C. was born on May 26, 1816, in North Carolina. He was about 20 years old when his father bought a farm near Jackson, Tenn. Brinkley read law in the office of Judge Pleasant M. Miller at Jackson, and then in the office of Foster & Fogg in Nashville, which was probably the top legal firm in the state during that time. Brinkley was admitted to the practice of law in 1839. In October 1841, Brinkley married Anne Coleman Overton, daughter of Judge John Overton and his wife, Mary, in Davidson County, Tenn. Anne’s father was one of Tennessee’s prominent early citizens and a close friend of Andrew Jackson. Judge Overton had reportedly once owned all of the land on which the original Memphis city plan was laid. He had been the ultimate authority on land laws of Tennessee, which was the Brinkley specialty. In 1842, R.C. and Anne Brinkley moved to Memphis. He was soon in a quandary over
whether to use his time for his blooming career as a lawyer or for managing his wife’s extensive real estate, most RaNae of it empty and Vaughn producing large tax bills. Historically R.C. and Speaking Anne had two children, Anne Overton Brinkley and Hugh Lawson White Brinkley. Hugh was named after a great-uncle, senator and one-time presidential candidate, Hugh Lawson White. The children’s mother died on May 31, 1845, before she reached her 22nd birthday, and Brinkley took down his professional shingle to manage her real estate holdings. R.C. Brinkley then married Elizabeth Mhoon of Pride’s Crossing, Ala. in October 1853 in Franklin County, Ala. This marriage produced five children: James Mhoon, Bettie F., Robert C., Lucille and William Junius. The Brinkley family had homes at Iuka; Horseshoe Lake, Ark.; as well as a large house occupying a city block of Poplar and Manassas in Memphis.
In 1869, Brinkley connected four buildings he owned at the northwest corner of Main and Monroe into a 75-room hotel, which he briefly named the Brinkley Hotel. The $60,000 hotel boasted gas-lit rooms with private baths, a first class dining room and tearoom, shops and amenities, exceptional entertainment, a ballroom, a saloon, and lobby. It cost $3 to $4 a day for a room and meals, and an extra charge was added for a fire or gas light. Just prior to its opening, R.C. Brinkley received news of the death of his good friend, philanthropist George Peabody. As a sign of respect and to honor his friend, the structure became the original Peabody Hotel and led the way toward the Memphis street, park and school with names honoring Peabody. The original Peabody Hotel was a center for travelers until it closed in 1923 and the building was replaced with Lowenstein’s Department Store. R.C. Brinkley’s daughter, Anne Overton Brinkley, married Robert Bogardus Snowden, a Confederate lieutenant colonel. R.C. Brinkley was generous in his wedding gifts to his
daughter and her new husband. He purchased the couple a house located on 200 acres on Pidgeon Roost Road (now Lamar); the Italianate mansion was built in 1855 by Dr. Samuel Mansfield. After it was purchased for the Snowden couple, it was named “Annesdale” in honor of the bride. The mansion, surrounded by trees and shrubbery, is located at 1325 Lamar and adjoined by Snowden Circle. He also gave them the Peabody Hotel, a MidSouth institution considered synonymous with Southern hospitality and Delta style to this day. The 13-story hotel is an excellent example of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture and is Memphis’ only historic hotel. For 96 years, the Snowden heirs were connected directly or indirectly with the affairs of the hotel. Lavish balls were held at The Peabody. The original Peabody was host to such notables as Presidents Andrew Johnson and William McKinley and Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee, Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jubal Early. Plantation owners, professional gamblers and movie stars frequented The
Peabody. It was the place to see and be seen. The Peabody continued to enjoy success until it closed in 1923. In 1925, a $5 million Peabody Hotel, designed by architect Walter Ahlschlager, opened at its present downtown Memphis location on Union Avenue. At this point, ownership had passed into the hands of the Memphis Hotel Company, controlled by R. Brinkley Snowden, great-grandson of the original builder. Writing long after R.C. Brinkley’s death, J.M. Keating said in his history of the city of Memphis that Brinkley was “an amiable gentleman of agreeable manners, upright in all his dealings, full of enterprise, and a leader who moved toward the goal he set without faltering for a moment.” R.C. Brinkley spent the majority of his time and energy in the Memphis area; nevertheless, Tishomingo County is proud of its Brinkley heritage.

Late-season turkey hunting has its challenges Success in turkey hunting depends a lot on the landscape and the mood of the birds, both of which can change drastically through the course of a season. And, to bag a late-season bird, the tactics and game plan usually have to be altered as to those that were used in the latter days of March. Hunting in the late season is generally more on the visual side than the vocal, which is the opposite of early season hunting. Gobblers are usually not as vocal directly after flydown -- or may not even gobble at all -- seldom respond to aggressive calling after having received lots of hunting pressure, and the spring green-up provides turkeys with new food sources and another obstacle for hunters to hurdle. Late season
strategies should involve more looking to go along with the listening. David H a m Green m e r i n g call-shy Outdoors birds with a barrage of hen chatter will rarely get the response you’re looking for. Still, you need to let them know a hen is in the vicinity. Pique their interest by making soft clucks, purrs and yelps ever so often. They’ll know exactly where the sounds are coming from, and if they’re in the mood, they’ll come around to check it out. This is one case when you need to remain patient, still and keep your eyes glued to the sur-
rounding area. Just when the woods has grown silent and you think nothing is going to happen, the gobbler is liable to come slipping in quietly without uttering a sound. Green fields are top choices for hunting and getting visuals of turkeys during the late season. Turkeys relish the fresh clovers and insects the fields have to offer. But not all green fields are the same. Turkeys will not use fields that have grown too high, especially during the early morning when heavy dew drenches the landscape. Spring green-up presents another challenge. That is, if the hunter doesn’t have his or her eyes and ears tuned to the max. When the woods and fields are greened up in all their glory, it can fool
you on how far away a gobbler is when he makes his presence known. A gobble that sounds like a mile away could actually only be a scant 100 or so yards in distance, making it equally important to look and listen close as you make your next move. Putting a bird to roost is a good strategy for any time of the season, but it’s especially effective for hunting late season heavily pressured birds that have become increasingly unresponsive. The idea is to make it as easy as possible for the gobbler to fly down and not have far to stroll to get into gun range. By now, many hunters have a good general idea where a gobbler likes to call home for the night. And, in a case like this, they can go into the woods late in the evening
to listen for the flapping of wings going skyward to verify their assumption. Assumptions are not always correct though, especially when it comes to turkey behavior and habits. If a bird is not heard going to roost, forgo the hen talk that many use during the early season and use an owl or crow call to get the tom to gobble and give away his location. Once a tom is roosted, wait for complete darkness before easing out of the area. On the next morning while it’s still pitch dark, move in as close as the conditions and terrain permits. Even if the bird hears you moving about, he’ll assume it’s just another animal moving around in the dark. Hunting turkeys during the last days of the
season has its challenges, but it can be done successfully. I’m reminded of that as I think back to last year when I took an exceptional bird sporting two lengthy beards with only two days left in the season. So, what are you waiting for? Time’s a wasting. There are only three days left to hunt. The Mississippi turkey season comes to a conclusion at the end of the day on May 1.

There’s nothing like catching spring slab crappie BY MIKE GILES The Meridian Star
“I’m heading to the lake in the morning if you want to go,” advised Ken Murphy. It didn’t take but a minute to jump at the invite and take a bit of a break from knee rehab and low impact turkey hunting. “I was really catching the bass and caught a few crappie before I quit for the day,” he said. “I think we can get on them tomorrow and catch a bunch if you want to try them.” Now asking Mike Giles if he wants to go fishing, any type of fishing, anytime, anywhere, anyhow, is like asking a baby if they like ice cream. That would be an affirmative in the strongest answer pos-
sible. Ken Murphy maneuvered his Ranger boat along a shallow shoreline on Okatibbee Lake just after sunup the next morning and dissected the vegetation and cover like a skilled surgeon. The veteran bass angler, who’s already won two bass tournaments this year, took a break and enjoyed a few relaxing crappie outings. Fortunately I was able to join in the fun and witness his jig fishing prowess as well. As Murphy dropped the jig by a clump of grass a nice crappie nailed it and Murphy quickly set the hook and our first fish of the day went straight to the “supper well.” Now most boats have a live
well for tournaments and catch and release bass fishing, but Murphy’s Ranger Boat is also equipped with a supper well reserved for slab crappie, white perch and Soc-e-lait. While all bass are caught and quickly released, the slab sized crappie are immediately deposited in the supper well for filleting and frying up until they are crisp and golden brown. No finer table fare can be found in the southern spring woods, except maybe fried turkey nuggets which run neck and neck, as to which is the best this time of year. Either one is hard to beat if fried up fresh out of the water or field.
Murphy had located an area that had a few crappie in shallow water and they were obviously spawning to beat the band! As we moved along the water’s edge we dipped and jigged our lures beside almost every piece of grass, brush or wood cover we could find. Occasionally Murphy and I doubled on the scrumptious perch, but more often than not he’d be catching one while I was removing one from the hook and vice versa. At the time of our trip we were catching crappie alongside different structure with no rhyme or reason except for the fact that they were spawning by some type of cover. Otherwise all of the
shoreline cover looked the same on the surface. Crappie are voracious feeders when they are spawning and will usually hit anything that moves during a short period of time. White, chartreuse, black, hot pink and red are all good producers when combined or in solid colors. Black and chartreuse, black and hot pink, chartreuse or just plain white are all some of my favorites and occasionally when the water muddies up a bit I’ll use a pumpkinseed and chartreuse tail or crawfish and orange tail. As the morning wore on we really started whacking the lunker sized crappie and almost every oth-
er one was a slab, which is unusual on Okatibbee, at least until the last couple of years. With a family gathering looming closer with each minute on the water we were pulling them in with regularity until I finally had to quit and head out. Our Saturday fishing trip was a great success as we caught a boatload of slab crappie on jigs using jig poles. There’s just nothing like catching crappie on lightweight tackle in the springtime in the southern outdoors with family and friends. Give it a try and you just might be hooked as well!

‘Bridging the Blues’ festival lined up for fall BY SARAH KRAMER Delta Democrat Times
GREENVILLE — A new two-day music festival spearheading the tristate “Bridging the Blues” event is coming to Warfield Point Park in October. The Mighty Mississippi Music Festival, which will include the Highway 61 Blues Festival, will kick off the 20-day “Bridging the Blues” event Oct. 4-6, festival officials announced Thursday. Country music artist Steve Azar said he and Jason Fratesi, a local music artist, recently formed Down River Entertainment and wanted to be a part of the “Bridging the Blues” event, an awardwinning festival linking the Highway 61 Blues Festival to the King Biscuit Festival in Helena, Ark. “Jason and I got together and wanted to put on a music festival that would pay homage to the blues and the farms, and at the same time, be a multi-

Talks that the Highway 61 Blues Festival was coming to Greenville this fall have been floating around the Delta for months. But on Thursday evening at the opening reception of the Washington County Convention Center’s new suite, the rumors were confirmed. Billy Johnson, with the Highway 61 fest, said the festival in years past has attracted thousands of folks from around the world, and he knew including camping — and additional musicians — to

the mix would be another incentive for people to come to the Delta. “Looking at Washington County, we are a very blessed area. We have two of the most famous iconic thoroughfares in America running through this county: Highway 61 and the Mississippi River,” he said. “The state of Mississippi is promoting Mississippi as the birthplace of American Music and promoting the Mississippi River as the river of song, so we are going to give them something to sing about.” Johnson said Leland’s
festival started 14 years ago as a fundraiser for the Highway 61 Blues Museum. “Through those 14 years, we stayed true to keeping it real,” he said. Because the Highway 61 Blues Festival has been an attraction for festivalgoers and blues-enthusiasts, Azar said he and Fratesi wanted to “bring it under our umbrella.” “We are going to have a celebration of the blues and the Highway 61 music festival … and at the same time, create a crazy music stage on the Mississippi River at Warfield Point,” he said. But the festival, as Azar and Johnson said, is more than just music. Fratesi said it was important to him to include the farming — or the outdoors — aspect. “A lot of the old blues music came from farms and farming areas and from the guys who worked on them,” he said. “It seems like sometimes that gets lost, but we need
to pay homage to those older guys who created the blues and where it came from.” Wesley Smith, executive director of the Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau and initiator of “Bridging the Blues,” said the change in the festival offers more opportunities for folks coming to the Delta for the tri-state pilgrimage. “We are offering even more people the opportunity to come and camp and enjoy the beautiful view of the Mississippi River,” he said. Heading into the second year of “Bridging the Blues,” Smith said the event continues to grow. “We have more partners and tour operators in Europe selling the Delta. … It’s just one thing after another,” he said, adding that more — and bigger — announcements will unfold in the coming months. With the hype and national-media atten-
tion “Bridging the Blues” has gained this past year, Johnson said the Delta is putting itself on the map — in a positive way. “It’s easy to read and hear about what’s all wrong with the Mississippi Delta, and we are always on the bottom of the wrong list and this and that. …. But, it’s amazing. The thing about our part of our country is that over 250 internationally known blues artists came from a 100-mile radius,” he said. “This is a 20-day cultural experience, where people from around the world can come here to the Delta and enjoy the festivals — the music, museum, food and really feel the full flavor of our culture and our area.” Azar said the artist lineup will be announced in the next month. “We are planning to have about 22 to 25 musical acts over two days,” he said. “We hope to make it one of the biggest festivals in the South.”
Accidental outlaw Willie Nelson hits 80th birthday BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — America loves its outlaws, and few are as admired and lionized as Willie Nelson. As the enduring American icon’s 80th birthday has approached, he’s been honored with lifetime achievement awards, serenaded at special performances and saluted by musicians from every genre of music. And Nelson has taken it all in with a bemused smile. “It’s a nice thing to do for someone on their birthday and I appreciate it,” Nelson said in a recent interview aboard his bus. “Usually I like to forget my birthdays as much as possible.” The hubbub is as much about celebrating Nelson as it has been celebrating with Nelson. The singer whose birthday is Monday or Tuesday — Nelson says April 29, the state of Texas claims April 30 — occupies a unique space in America’s cultural memory. A walking bag of contradictions, he wears his hair long in braids and has a penchant for pot smoking, yet remains arguably conservative country music’s greatest songwriter. He’s accepted by left and right, black and white and is instantly recognizable to a majority of Americans. Like few other music stars, his image has grown to represent more than the notes he’s played or the lyrics he’s written. Like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash or Frank Sinatra, he’s become a figurehead for a uniquely American way of thinking. He represents the outlaw and the maverick. If Elvis was all about the pelvis and the sexual revolution, Nelson is American independence: the raised middle finger tossed with a twinkle in the eye. “America is a bizarre place and Willie is our captain,” said Jamey Johnson, Nelson’s good friend and sometimes opener. “Willie in every way represents all the greatest things about America to me.” Nelson didn’t set out to be a folk hero, as Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum calls him. He spends something like 200 days on the road still, a pace that challenges men a quarter his age. In a series of interviews over the last year, Nelson explained he just came to Nashville wanting someone to buy his songs. That
“America is a bizarre place and Willie is our captain. Willie in every way represents all the greatest things about America to me.” Jamey Johnson Willie Nelson’s good friend and sometimes opener young man never imagined he’d be on the road for more than 50 years. His first real songwriting job paid $50 a week. He played — and sometimes slept — at Tootsie’s on Lower Broadway in Nashville, just a few miles — but really a million miles — away from Music Row. Nelson thinks that young man wouldn’t know what to make of the spectacle he’s become. “He’d probably wonder what’s that old man doing out there,” Nelson said with a chuckle. “He’s got a house. He’s not homeless. Why don’t he go home?” The truth is Nelson is home as he sits at the pleasantly cluttered kitchen table of his bus. With its portrait of an American Indian on the side and its reputation for mellow encounters, the bus is as much a part of Nelson’s mythos as his braids and battered old guitar. An invitation to join Nelson on the bus is coveted. “I’ve never smoked weed ever in my entire life,” Lady A’s Hillary Scott joked. “But if I got invited on the bus I might have to make a concession just because of purely what it is, what it represents.” For Nelson, it’s a refuge, office, songwriting room and parlor where he hosts friends and band members for morning coffee. Nelson has pursued this nomadic lifestyle for more than four decades, almost unchanged. The personnel in the band has remained the same. Until recently, harmonica player Mickey Raphael was pretty much the new guy. He recently celebrated his 40th anniversary with Nelson. “I was never officially hired,” Raphael says with a grin, “but I was never asked to leave.” Nelson hangs onto his buses till they’re over a million miles, still wears a black T-shirt and that red, white and blue guitar strap. His children grew up on the bus and now they play in his band from time to time.
So, to paraphrase Waylon Jennings, the outlaw thing’s been overdone. All he wanted to do was play his own music the way he chose. In Nashville, that idea was sacrilegious. And while Nelson was something of a known quantity in town — he had written hits and was a member of the Grand Ole Opry — conventional wisdom said he was never going to amount to much if he insisted on singing his own songs in a manner that didn’t fit Music City’s countrypolitan ways. “You ever heard the song me and Waylon did back in the old days called ‘Write Your Own Songs?’” Nelson says with a laugh. “I still do that one occasionally. I get a kick out of doing it because it takes you back to the days when me and Waylon were fighting the outlaw wars here in Nashville and losing. I enjoyed those times. I even enjoyed being the outlaw and the outcast. I thought, ‘All right, that’s great. I must be doing something right.’ You remember the old saying, ‘You keep on doing it wrong till you like it that way?’” Two things happened in the early 1970s to give Nelson the advantage in those wars — his decision to leave Nashville and relocate to Austin, Texas, and the release of “Outlaws.” The album, a collection of odds and ends from Nelson, Jennings and others, was the first country album to go platinum and was accidentally timed perfectly to take advantage of an obsession with Southern culture in the U.S. during the Age of Burt Reynolds. Quickly, Nelson was not only a well-known singer with a group of suddenly popular friends, but he was an actor on film and television. His influence spread quickly. Friend Kris Kristofferson invited Nelson down to Mexico to the set of Sam Peckinpah’s “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” where he introduced him to Bob Dylan. Nelson played a song for a group of new friends.
