Again: Sales tax down, tourism up BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A trend of small decreases for Corinth sales tax continued in the latest reported month. Figures released by the Mississippi Department of Revenue on Friday showed the city will receive $464,977.28 this month, a decrease of 1.5 percent, or about $5,000, from one year ago. This month’s sales tax
diversion reflects sales activity in local establishments during the month of April. It is the fourth consecutive month of declines. The Christmas shopping period of December was the last month to produce positive growth. The year-to-date total of $4.121 million is up about half of a percentage point from the same point a year earlier.
Collections across the state for the latest month rose 3.5 percent, but northeast Mississippi didn’t follow that pattern, with 11 area municipalities posting decreases. The 2 percent tourism tax collected at Corinth restaurants and hotels had another big month, however, with $101,257.29, an 11 percent spike, and only the third month
that the tax has ever generated more than $100,000. The tax has posted eight consecutive monthly increases. The year-to-date total for the tourism tax is $816,862.45, a 5 percent increase. Other sales tax results from the region (percentages rounded): ■ Booneville - $144,569.65 (-6%)

Herman Gray remembered for genuine love of community BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Herman Gray left a mark of genuine caring for his community and others. Gray, 80, died Friday at Magnolia Regional Health Center. “Herman had a great influence on his church, the Kiwanis Club and everything he was involved with,” said fellow Kiwanian and First United Methodist Church member Harold P. Smith. “He was honest, thoughtful and a prince of a man.”
The long list of accomplishments for Gray, born near Jacinto on July 29, 1932, continued up until his death. He and wife, Janet Davis Gray came to Corinth in 1958 when he founded the accounting firm of Chism, Jones and Gray. The Master Gardener went on to organize the Northeast Mississippi Chapter of the Mississippi Society of CPAs after moving to the city. As a long-time member of the Yocona Area Council of Boy Scouts of America, he helped create the Yocona Area
Foundation, received the Silver Beaver award in 2000, and was named a lifetime sustaining member in 2012. He used his skills as a Master Gardener to teach urban children how to garden. The past president of the Corinth Kiwanis Club organized the Corinthian Garden at the Lighthouse Foundation. “Herman was one of our first Master Gardeners in Alcorn County and was always a pleasure to work with,” said Patrick Poindexter, County Director with the Mississippi

State Extension Service. “He was a driving force behind the garden at the Lighthouse and he will be truly missed.” The father of four was the longest tenured Kiwanian, having been a member of the club since Dec. 29, 1958. He served as president of the club in 1961. The community-minded gentleman also served as president of Chamber of Commerce and was the driving force behind plans to build a facility for the organization. An active member of Unit-
ed Way of Corinth and Alcorn County Board of Directors, he was named the Junior Auxiliary’s Citizen of the Year in 2000. Gray Mr. Gray is survived by his wife of 55 years, Janet Davis Gray; children, Linda Please see GRAY | 2A

CHS Alumni Association honors Plummer, Myers BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
On Thursday the CHS Alumni Association will honor former coach and teacher Johnny Plummer as its living Distinguished Faculty/Staff of the Year and former teacher Mildred Myers in memoriam. The Alumni Association will gather at KC’s Espresso from 6 to 8 p.m. A short program will begin around 6:15 p.m. All former students, players, faculty and staff are invited to stop by between 6 and 8 p.m. to congratulate and visit with Plummer and the family of Myers. “The program will consist of alumni sharing their thoughts about both
of these individuals,” said Callie Emmons, president of the CHS Alumni Association. “In the past, remarks about those being honored have been heartfelt, inspiring, touching and comical.” The event will have a tailgating theme, and light refreshments will be served. The Alumni Association solicits nominees through the alumni membership. Then a committee meets to determine who will be awarded. Next graduates are asked to send in their stories and comments about the honorees. “In our mission statement, set forth by the Alumni Association, it has been established as
cessful and productive citizens.” The group is now seeking nominations for the 2013 Distinguished Alum of the Year, who will be honored at halftime of Corinth’s Homecoming game or a game that the individual is able to attend.

Federal court to hear appeal from Mississippi doctor Associated Press
JACKSON — A Mississippi doctor convicted of orchestrating a $6.9 million Medicaid and Medicare fraud scheme will have her appeal heard in July by federal judges in New Orleans. Oral arguments in Dr. Cassandra Faye Thomas' appeal will be heard July 10 by a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Thomas was convicted on 10 counts by a federal jury in Jackson in 2011. She was sentenced to 14 years in prison. She filed an appeal with the 5th Circuit. She remains free on
bond while her appeal is pending. Thomas was convicted of conspiracy, health care fraud, making false statements, theft of public money and wire fraud. She was ordered to pay restitution and serve three years of supervised release. Prosecutors said Thomas, then owner of Central Mississippi Physical Medicine Inc. in Jackson, Miss., submitted $16 million in claims and was paid about $6.9 million in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements from 2002 until 2005. They said Thomas created a scheme by sending
unlicensed and unqualified personnel into homes to give therapy sessions to patients. Medicaid and Medicare regulations require a physician to provide the therapy or be in the home during the sessions. Mississippi law also mandates that only licensed individuals provide such therapy. Prosecutors said Thomas turned to the scheme because she knew she couldn't make that amount of money doing the work herself. Thomas billed Medicaid and Medicare from March 2002 until September 2004 for the in-home
therapy sessions, and pocketed nearly $7 million in payments, according to prosecutors. In her appeal to the 5th Circuit, Thomas renewed her arguments that there was no intent on her part to submit fraudulent claims. She argues that she didn't know Medicaid expected her to be in the home of each patient. Thomas' attorneys describe those requirements as confusing and ambiguous. Thomas argues that under the federal law she was subject only to general rather than direct supervision when “nurses
and other paramedical personnel” provided therapeutic exercises to patients who were homebound. Thomas' attorneys argue that state and federal rules and regulations are in conflict over whether persons who serve such homebound patients must be licensed. “Because of the confusing nature and confusing interpretations of these laws and rules, it was impossible for Thomas to act with knowledge that her conduct was unlawful,” her lawyers said. The government said Thomas was billing Medi-
care as though skilled medical professionals were providing physical therapy to elderly patients. Prosecutors said Thomas hired largely untrained employees — many with no medical background — to travel alone to patient homes. “Dressed in medial scrubs, these physical therapy 'techs' generally were paid less than $20 per hour — even though Thomas billed Medicare as though they were being paid at professional rates,” prosecutors said. The government said Thomas kept the rest of the money for herself.
faith,” said Sherri Batie. “Other than trying to stay cool, I will be out here
spending time with my only grandson.” Juneteenth — a port-
manteau of June and nineteenth — is the oldest known celebration marking the death of slavery in America. Its history reaches back to June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers landed in Texas carrying news that the Civil War was over and slaves were now free. “I am enjoying seeing friends who I haven’t seen in a long time,” said Hildred Davis as she sat under a shade tree. “It’s usually too hot for me to come, but it has been an enjoyable day to be with friends.” Vincent Ross was glad to
see all the fellowship taking place just after noon at the park. “I like the idea that we can come together and celebrate each other,” said Ross, chairman of the board for the Minority Volunteers Association, a United Way agency that helps provide for the continued education of youth in Corinth. “The good thing is that Christians, businesses and the common man can all come together and be unified today.” Recognizing those who have paved the way for others plays an important part in the annual celebra-
tion, according to Ross. “That’s what Juneteenth is all about,” he said. “We can’t forget about those people who have helped us develop to where we are today.” Ross thinks Bishop, the only African American mayor of Corinth, would be proud of the celebration on Saturday. “He would look around and think what he went through was well worth it,” said Ross. “It’s about the content of our heart not the color of our skin … now we can all respect one another and appreciate who we are.”
speakers include Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin, Sen. Chris McDaniel, Navy Commander (Retired) Judge Henry Ross, District Attorney Trent Kelly, State Libertarian Party Chairman Danny Bedwell and Rev. Clayton “Blackhawk” Self, who will recite the Lord’s Prayer in native Cherokee language.
“It’s a bring your lawn chair and American flag event,” noted McDaniel. “It will be a fun filled day of fellowship and fun for the entire family.” What began as an appreciation event for local state representatives and Sen. Parks “continues to grow into an even bigger event and it continues to grow as people hear about it,” he said. “We are expecting a huge crowd,” added McDaniel. Armed security will be provided, he said. In case of rain, the event will move to the American Legion building on Tate Street.

Today in history
A Grandfather’s Prayer on Father’s Day BY JAMES RORIE Columnist
Today is Sunday, June 16, the 167th day of 2013. There are 198 days left in the year. This is Father’s Day.
Today’s Highlight in History: On June 16, 1963, the world’s first female space traveler, Valentina Tereshkova, 26, was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union aboard Vostok 6; she spent 71 hours in flight, circling the Earth 48 times before returning safely.
On this date: In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in Lochleven Castle in Scotland. (She escaped almost a year later but ended up imprisoned again.) In 1858, accepting the Illinois Republican Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln said the slavery issue had to be resolved, declaring, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” In 1883, baseball’s first “Ladies’ Day” took place as the New York Gothams offered women free admission to a game against the Cleveland Spiders. (New York won, 5-2.) In 1903, Ford Motor Co. was incorporated. In 1911, IBM had its beginnings as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. was incorporated in New York State. In 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act became law with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s signature. (The Act was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was founded as President Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933. In 1943, comedian Charles Chaplin, 54, married his fourth wife, 18-year-old Oona O’Neill, daughter of playwright Eugene O’Neill, in Carpinteria, Calif. In 1959, actor George Reeves, TV’s “Superman,” was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound in the bedroom of his Beverly Hills, Calif., home; he was 45. In 1962, The New Yorker published the first of a three-part serialization of “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson.

I pray you will be in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. The news shows there are thousands of them who need help now. I pray you will help them. I pray for them who lost their lives in Chili. I pray you will be in the aftermath of flooding in Burma. Thousands of them lost everything they had and thousands lost their lives. I pray you will help the ones who made it. I pray you will be in the aftermath of the cyclone in Bangladesh. Some lost their lives and
lost love ones. The ones who remain, extend them your hands and let them pick up and move on. I pray you will continue to be in the aftermath of New Orleans and Hurricane Ruth. Thousands lost everything they had. Some lost their life and I pray they find all who lost their life, so they can take care of them. I pray you will continue to be in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I pray you will be with the ones who are left. Oh Lord, I love you. I pray you will give me more strength in my body and when I lay down to sleep, you will give my body more sleep. I pray you will watch over me the rest of the night and pray you will put the shield of armor around us to protect us from harm. As I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Praise you, Lord! (James Rorie is a 93-year-old Alcorn County resident. Special thanks to granddaughter Minnie Turnbough for her assistance to help share this prayer on Father's Day.)
Ethics panel clears way for GOP Medicaid votes Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Ethics Commission has cleared the way for six Republican state House members to vote on Medicaid issues, but the commission’s ruling wasn’t unanimous and one member called it “illogical.” The lawmakers sought ethics guidance because they have potential financial conflicts, either because they work for health care providers that could receive Medicaid money or because they have relatives who work for providers. The commission voted 5-3 to allow the half dozen lawmakers to help decide three issues related to the government health insurance program for the needy — whether to approve the Medicaid budget, whether to reauthorize the program to stay in existence once the new fiscal year begins July 1 and whether to expand the program to an estimated 300,000 additional people. The Ethics Commission specified that the
Celebrate
six were cleared to vote against Medicaid expansion. Commissioners said the lawmakers never sought clearance to vote for expansion, but the ruling Friday said the commission “consistently advises public servants to fully recuse themselves from any matter which could result in a pecuniary benefit to their employer.” The half dozen GOP votes could be important if Republican Gov. Phil Bryant calls lawmakers into session later this month to keep Medicaid in business July 1 and beyond. Republicans hold a majority in both the House and the Senate. But if six Republicans had to abstain from voting, it’s not clear whether the GOP would be able to get the minimum 62 House votes needed to adopt a Medicaid budget. Because of a partisan dispute over whether to expand Medicaid, legislators ended their three-month regular session without setting a budget for the
program or even re-authorizing it. The expansion is allowed under the federal health law that President Barack Obama signed. Republican leaders oppose expansion, while many Democrats say it would boost the economy and help the working poor. Ethics Commission members on Friday talked about two previous, contradictory rulings. In 2005, the commission ruled that a lawmaker who’s married to a public school teacher could vote on the state education budget without having a financial conflict. In 2012, the commission ruled that a
lawmaker who’s involved with a business that receives money from Medicaid should refrain from voting on Medicaid to avoid a conflict. Ethics Commission member Bill Wheeler of Tupelo, who served as a Democrat in the state House from 1988 to 1995, voted Friday against clearing the six House members to vote. He said it’s inconsistent to tell lawmakers it’s OK to vote for the Medicaid budget but not for Med-
icaid expansion. “If there’s something wrong with the second dollar you received,” he said, meaning expansion, “then there has to be something wrong with the first dollar you received under the normal appropriations. It’s just quite illogical.” Billy Powell of Brandon, one of the five Ethics Commission members who voted for the ruling Friday, is a former chairman of the state Republican Party.

Our View
One vote can truly make a difference In these days of growing voter apathy and discontent, sometimes an election happens to remind us all that one vote does count and can truly make a difference. For those who missed the turn of events in the south Alcorn County hamlet of Rienzi — the toss of a coin is apparently sending Harold W. Palmer to a second term on the Rienzi Board of Aldermen. Town officials said at first a runoff would break the tie between two incumbents on the board, but they learned from the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office that the proper procedure in a general election is a tiebreaker. Municipal Clerk Elaine Pitts said the town was advised to consider a coin toss or the drawing of straws. The coin came up heads, giving Palmer a win by luck after the democratic process had ended in a 45-45 tie between Palmer and Melissa Bearden Morgan, both incumbents. The results at the top were close with Sandra Williams at 58; David Wayne Massey, 53; Dale A. Leonard, 52; Betty J. Williams, 49; and then Palmer and Morgan at 45. A tie higher on the list wouldn’t have mattered, but it came at the final slot for the five-member board. The candidates and municipal election commissioners gathered at Rienzi Town Hall June 7 for the fateful coin toss. Pitts said the town was instructed to select two registered voters to conduct the tiebreaker — one to toss the coin and one to read the result. Prior to the toss, the election commissioners determined who would be assigned to heads and who would be tails and put that information in a sealed envelope to be opened after the toss. Morgan was seeking a third term on the board. The two new aldermen will be Betty J. Williams and Dale A. Leonard. The new four-year term of office begins July 1. Four years ago, Palmer led the field of candidates for alderman. Thanks to a coin flip and 45 supporters, he returns to office. At least two other places had tied results for alderman recently, according to AP reports — Walls, the smallest municipality in DeSoto County, where two people tied with 18 votes, and Mendenhall, a town near Jackson. So you see, ties do happen. See you at the polls come next election season. Let's save heads or tails for football kickoffs and the drawing of straws for who gets to bat first in a backyard game of wiffle ball. The democratic process should be based on the people's choice, rather than a flip of a coin. — Mark Boehler

Hood’s ‘open carry’ ruling strikes important balances Attorney General Jim Hood’s office issued an opinion this week that went a long way toward establishing some order and applying some common sense to what has become a contentious and confusing debate both for proponents and opponents of free exercise of the Second Amendment. House Bill 2, which becomes law July 1, was authored and led to passage by state Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton. Gipson has told the press that he believed the legislation was necessary to clearly define what a concealed weapon is under the law and to distinguish between “concealed carry” and “open carry” rights. But many law enforcement officers charged with enforcing the state’s “concealed carry” law and other contradictory statutes, the bill created some confusion and Hood’s AG opinion brought some clarity to the ongoing debate. As Hood’s opinion expressly notes, the ruling doesn’t apply to people who carry a concealed weapon with a standard or enhanced permit. Those who seek and win concealed carry permits in Mississippi have already agreed to rather broad restrictions on carrying their
weapons in most local, state and federal government buildings, law enforceSid Salter ment venues, Columnist educational facilities, professional athletic events, airport terminals, and bars. So what do we learn from the ruling? First, Mississippians have the right to openly carry a firearm without a concealed weapon permit as long as the weapon at least partially visible. The fact that Mississippi is by law an “open carry” state and that Mississippi has a reasonably clear law authorizing “concealed carry” of firearms by those with the appropriate standard or expanded permits. Second, neither the “concealed carry” nor “open carry” laws trump an existing state statute that makes it illegal to carry a weapon onto the campus of a school or university. The state’s universities and schools have operated under the cloak of that law and the AG ruling puts those entities in a little stronger position. Third, the act of engaging in “open carry” does
not give law enforcement the right to require a person carrying the weapon to submit to questioning or to answer questions. Fourth, private property owners and “custodians” of public property may exercise property rights that allow them to deny entry to persons carrying weapons in either “open carry” of “concealed carry permit” modes. Fifth, sheriffs have the authority to disallow the open carry of firearms into county courthouses and other government buildings, noting that said courthouses are “the scene of emotionally charged disputes such as child custody battles, criminal prosecutions, property forfeitures, tax sales, etc.” The opinion noted that a ban on weapons in sensitive areas like the courthouse “is reasonably tailored to serve the governmental interest in preserving security for courthouse proceedings and personnel.” No government ruling on guns ever wins universal praise, but Hood – a serious outdoorsman and a former district attorney who has more than a passing acquaintance with both guns and violent crime – does a good job in this ruling of
striking a common sense balance between respecting guns rights and public safety. Open carry advocates generally fared well in this ruling, but then so did those concerned about people packing in volatile venues like university campuses, schools, athletic events, and government buildings. So, too, did private property owners who want to maintain some control of the liability they accept on their property. The group most likely to have problems with this opinion is law enforcement officers, for the simple reason that it allows more lawabiding citizens to legally be on the streets of Mississippi with weapons and it allows them to do so without fear of much interference from the police. That, based on the laws passed in recent years, is clearly the will of the majority of the Legislature. Hood’s ruling, tracing recent U.S. Supreme Court cases and state legislative actions, succeeds in nodding to that fact.

Is our guardian angel Big Brother? “Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail,” said Secretary of State Henry Stimson of his 1929 decision to shut down “The Black Chamber” that decoded the secret messages of foreign powers. “This means war!” said FDR, after reading the intercepted instructions from Tokyo to its diplomats the night of Dec. 6, 1941. Roosevelt’s secretary of war? Henry Stimson. Times change, and they change us. The CIA was created in 1947; the National Security Agency in 1952, with its headquarters at Ft. Meade in Maryland. This writer’s late brother was stationed at Meade doing “photo interpretation’’ in the years the CIA’s Gary Powers, flying U-2s at 70,000 feet above Mother Russia, was providing the agency with some interesting photographs. Recently, through security leaks, we learned that the NSA has access to the phone records of Verizon, Sprint and AT&T. Of every call made to, from or in the U.S., NSA can determine what phone the call came from, which phone it went to, and how long the conversation lasted. While NSA cannot recapture the contents of calls, it can use this information to select phones to tap for future recording and listening.

Through its PRISM program, the NSA can acquire access, via servers such as ApPat ple, Google, Buchanan Yahoo, Facebook, MicroColumnist soft and AOL, to all emails sent, received and presumably deleted or spammed. And if the NSA can persuade a secret court that it has to know the contents of past, present or future emails, it can be accorded that right. Our ability to intercept and read communications of foreigners and foreign governments seems almost limitless. We learned recently that Barack Obama, by Presidential Policy Directive 20, has tasked our government to prepare for both defensive and offensive cyberwarfare to enable us to attack whatever depends on the Internet anywhere in the world. Lately, the U.S. and Israel planted a Stuxnet worm that crippled scores of centrifuges and disabled Iran’s nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz. If we can do this in Iran, can we not do the same to nuclear plants all over the world, creating two, three, a hundred Chernobyls and Fukushimas? Is it too much to imagine that, one day, if not already, the United States will be able to cyber-sabotage the power
plants, electrical grids and communications systems of any country on earth? With its ability to locate and listen in to terrorists, to track by satellite and kill by drone, America has acquired an extraordinary ability to protect its people and prevent and punish terrorist attacks. But was any of this really surprising? Were we all in the dark as to what the CIA, the NSA and the Pentagon could do? And as we think back on 9/11, of our doomed countrymen jumping to their deaths from the World Trade Center, the dead and maimed at the Boston Marathon, will not most Americans say, “Thank the Lord we have this power, and God bless the men and women who are using it to defend us”? While this power is extraordinary, it is still not of the same magnitude as the 50,000 nuclear weapons we had 50 years ago, at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, when war could have led to scores of millions of American dead. Nevertheless, for a people whose proud boast is that our nation was conceived in freedom, this brave new world is sobering. Our own government has the power to intercept and listen to every phone call we make, to read every email we send or receive, to track us with cameras we cannot see, and to wage secret cyberwar against enemies real or per-

ceived without a declaration of war. Yet, we can no more uninvent the technology that enables our government to do this than we can uninvent the atom bomb. Rival powers like China are surely seeking the same capabilities. Thomas Jefferson instructed us that “in questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” But, ultimately, what other option do we have than to place our confidence in those whom we have entrusted with this power? Congress is not going to pass a law telling the NSA that it may not coordinate with AOL, Apple or Google to access information that might prevent a terrorist attack. And if a terrorist attack hits this country, and our security agencies say their hands were tied in trying to protect us, all bets would be off as to what intrusions upon their freedom Americans might accept. In the end, we ourselves are going to have to strike the balance between freedom and security. But the question lingers. If Big Brother is our guardian angel now, could he become Lucifer?

Firefighters advance containment on wildfire COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Colorado sheriff said firefighters “are getting the upper hand� on the most destructive wildfire in state history Saturday, an announcement that came as authorities gained a clearer picture of the grim landscape the blaze has left behind. No additional homes were destroyed as fire crews expanded containment lines, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said. Also, there were no new reports of injury or death, he said. The fire that exploded Tuesday outside of Colorado Springs, amid recordsetting heat and tinder-dry conditions, has destroyed nearly 500 homes and killed two people, whose bodies were found inside their garage Thursday, their car doors open as though they had been about to flee. On Saturday, worried residents waited for permission to return to their neighborhoods to see whether their homes were still standing. Maketa said the fire’s destruction has made it difficult for his deputies to assess damage. Deputies have said “it looks like a nuclear bomb went off in some of those areas, and you can’t even recognize whether it was a house or some other kind of structure,� Maketa said. “That is the level of incineration and destruction that took place in some areas.� Containment is at 45 percent, an increase from 30 percent on Friday. It’s
unknown what sparked the blaze, but investigators believe it was humancaused. So far, it’s cost more than $3.5 million to fight. Â
Police seek suspect in shooting of 4 NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Nashville police say they are still looking for a man they say shot his girlfriend and her three teenage daughters at an apartment complex and fled the scene barefoot. Police said in a statement on Saturday that Earnest Woodley, who also goes by Earnest Moore, should be considered armed and dangerous. Police say he shot 34-yearold Nicole Luke and her daughters Friday night before slipping into a nearby wooded area wearing a gray T-shirt and blue shorts. Police say one of the teens who was shot has been released from Vanderbilt University Hospital. The others remain hospitalized in stable condition. Police have asked for the public’s help in locating Woodley. Â
Bear with head stuck in jar is rescued JAMISON CITY, Pa. — Four central Pennsylvania residents said they used only a rope and a flashlight during a wild chase to rescue a young bear whose head had been stuck in a plastic jar for at least 11 days. The frightened but powerful bruin fell into a swimming pool at least twice during the ordeal, according to a report Saturday in the Press Enterprise of Bloomsburg. But the group

eventually yanked off the jar and set the animal free. “I thought, ‘No one is going to believe us,’â€? said Morgan Laskowski, 22, the bartender at the Jamison City Hotel and a member of the impromptu bear-wrangling team. Area residents first spotted the 100-pound bruin with its head in a red jar on June 3, but it eluded game wardens. The animal was attracted to the container because it appeared to have once contained cooking oil. “He put his head in, and had a problem,â€? said Mike Jurbala, 68, another rescuer. “He’d have died in a couple more days.â€? Jurbala saw the bear Thursday night as he was leaving the bar at the Jamison City Hotel. He called Jeff Hubler, a local employee of the state Game Commission who had been among those trying to capture it for days with a lasso. The two teamed up with Laskowski and her mother, bar owner Jody Boyle, to follow the bear through the darkness. “You knew where he was because you could hear him banging into things,â€? Jurbala said.

VA hospital adds 30 to mental health staff JACKSON — The G.V. “Sonny� Montgomery Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Jackson has added 30 new mental health professionals.
President Barack Obama has set a goal of adding 1,600 providers in the nation’s 152 VA medical centers. Jackson VA Medical Center Director Joe Battle says in a statement that the hirings include four marriage and family therapists and three licensed professional counselors. Both fields are new at the Jackson VA. The Department of Veterans Affairs has put an increased focus on mental health services for veterans over the last few years. The VA set a goal of 14 days for patients to wait for a mental health appointment. The average wait for Jackson’s center was slightly more than 20 days, according to VA figures from the first six months of FY 2011. Â
Summer meetings focus on math HERNANDO — The DeSoto County school system will host meetings in late June and July to explain a new Common Core math curriculum being implemented in the fall. Michelle Corbin, the school district’s math specialist, tells The Commercial Appeal that the new math courses will better prepare students for college. She said the program uses a common set of standards being used in all schools nationwide that adopt the Common Core standards, currently 47 states. “We’ve looked at why kids aren’t performing well (nationwide),�
Corbin said, “and we’ve found we’re too busy looking for the answer and not the reasoning behind it.â€? The new curriculum is designed to address such shortcoming in U.S. students by taking a harder look at how solutions are reached. While the school district is only holding meetings on math in the 6-12 grade levels, the Common Core approach involves other subject areas as well, such as English and language arts. For now, the district wants to get out the word about the math curriculum at the middle and high school levels since that’s where educators will be focusing beginning in the fall, Corbin said. An initial meeting was held June 3 attracted about 30 people, Corbin said. She said the meetings will share the same information and are open parents and other local residents. Â

‘Leaflets three, let it be’ This time of year, many people in the Crossroads area are just itching to get outdoors. But please be aware many people are allergic to poison ivy. I’ve noticed over the last few days poison ivy vines seem to be thriving in several areas, so I decided to write a short article on how to identify some of these vines. Always be sure to check with your doctor if you are severely allergic to poison ivy in order to assess your risk potential. Poison ivy is known by many names because of its wide variation of appearance in different locations. Some poison ivy has heavy, rough, woody vines. Others are small trailing shrubs that run on the ground
or are erect, woody shrubs. The shape of the leaf can vary on different plants as well as on the same Patrick plant. One thing remains Poindexter that the same: there Ag Lines are always three leaflets. Remember, leaflets three, let it be. The flowers and fruit of poison ivy are always in clusters on stems that are attached to the branches where the leaves come out. The berries have a white, waxy appearance. After the leaves have shed, the waxy white berries are an easy way to identify poison ivy.
Some poison ivy fruit looks like a peeled orange; others are hairy, and some are smooth. Most people identify poison ivy by the number of leaflets. Oak-leaf ivy has leaflets similar to white oak leaves. It is also known as poison oak. This form of ivy usually does not climb as a vine but is found as a low-growing shrub. Common poison ivy grows in many places as a shrub. It also grows as a vine in some localities. Other vines are sometimes confused with poison ivy. These plants are Virginia creeper and some forms of Boston ivy. Neither of these vines is poisonous. You can recognize Virginia creeper by its five leaflets radiating
from one point of attachment. (Leaves of five, let it thrive) Boston ivy, with three leaflets, is hard to tell from its poisonous brother. The best policy to follow is to avoid plants and vines that look like poison ivy. Poison sumac, a third member of the poison ivy family, is different because it usually is a shrub or even a small tree that can reach heights up to 25 feet tall. The leaves are sevento 15-inches long and have seven- to 13-leaflets attached to a central stem. The berry of poison sumac is also ivory or white and formed in clusters. Poison sumac is usually found in permanently wet swamps or moist bottomlands. It is not as abundant as its two poisonous
relatives -- poison ivy and poison oak. Another point to remember is people with allergic reactions to poison ivy don’t necessarily have to touch the leaves in order to have a reaction. Roots and stems can also cause reactions. The point I’m trying to make is to be careful if you know you are allergic. Try to avoid areas where poison ivy is located. If you do have a reaction know the proper medical steps to take in order to prevent the severity. (For more information concerning any of the above information, call Patrick Poindexter, Extension agent, at the Alcorn County Extension Service at 286-7755.)
Half-baked garden needs more than ‘Goldilocks’ Summer’s here at last, and I can’t say I’m happy about it. Ninety degrees and climbing is low on my list of Favorite Things. Not, of course, that I should complain. We’ve had the longest, coolest spring I can remember. On the other hand, last winter lasted way too long. I got tired of being cold. This is the first year since we moved out to the farm that we worked through our whole woodpile to keep the woodstove burning. Then John cut down another dead oak, split the logs, piled it -- and we used that up as well. A stretch of days, cerulean and warm, would relieve the gloom, then we’d wake up to moody skies and tornado warnings. The previous winter was also odd. Way too warm. Some folks had azaleas blooming just a little early. As in January. One thing about weather, it keeps you guessing. And
most of the time, that’s fine with me. I’d hate every year to be the same. Not all of the surprises are to Ryland my liking. This Bruhwiler was the puniest showing Columnist we’ve ever had for dogwoods. I kept thinking how disappointed my dear Joyce would be if she’d been able to visit us this spring. Our driveway winds through a couple dozen dogwoods beneath the massive pines. Come April, they look like bridesmaids decked in white dancing through a cathedral of tall grey columns. Last time Joyce beheld this sight, she stopped her car, got out, and started snapping pictures. This spring, an occasional tree managed to half dress itself. A few opened a blossom here or there, like girls carelessly tucking barrettes into
their hair. Most didn’t bother even to do that. Still, the early columbines and wild blue phlox put on their usual fine show, and it was an astounding year for Indian pinks, their flowers like tiny paint brushes dipped in red and yellow. They’re fading now, just as scads of coneflowers are bursting into bloom. So is the salvia called “black and blue.” Thank goodness for the faithful perennials. As for the rest, I have never been so far behind. Finally got the poor tomatoes planted as well as a few peppers. Otherwise, the veggie garden is a blank, while my flower beds are overrun with “volunteers,” some wanted, most not. I’ve tucked a few annuals into clay pots, but their sisters are impatiently waiting in their six-pack cells, pretty faces turned to mine as I give them their daily drink of water, their rootbound feet as cramped as any Chinese lady’s in the olden times.
Here’s my confession: There’s nothing I enjoy more than getting my hands into the dirt, as my mother used to say, and I can work for hours, so absorbed I do not even know what time it is. Howsoever, I sure can be a Goldilocks. Too hot? Too cold? Too dripping wet? Well, maybe I’ll just wait until tomorrow .... Let me tell you, that’s a surefire way to make a half-baked garden. Especially if, like me, you dabble on too many fronts. When it finally warmed up enough last month for Goldie to get going, I started out by tackling an area behind the house that had turned into a jungle. It took me days and irritated my allergies and made me ache all over. But it sure was satisfying. So I cast my eye around to a couple other ugly spots that have nagged for years, and thought about that fine old line: What am I waiting for? Imagining a lovely little but-
terfly garden in the sunny spot surrounding a rugged stump -- and a charming grouping of ferns and astilbe and other lovers of dappled shade filling a long loop beneath the oak (which heretofore has been a tangle of scrawny weeds), I splurged and hired a crew to dig the clay out of two large pits. In a couple hours they accomplished what I’d have taken weeks to do. Hooray! Then I had to fill them. Backbreaking hours later, I am still sifting the good dark earth from the bad orange clay. And hauling buckets of horse manure from the barn. And shoveling up composted leaves and kitchen scraps. And turning the heavy, lasagna-like layers to mix them. Sure could use another spring to get it all done. (Daily Corinthian columnist Ryland Bruhwiler lives on a farm in McNairy County, Tenn. She can be contacted by email at downyonder@wildblue.net.)
Taylor Swift not worried about connecting with fans Associated Press
NEW YORK — Taylor Swift shares her feelings and personal experiences on her hit records, but the 23-year-old Grammy winner isn’t worried about losing intimacy with her fans on a stadium tour. “I find that you have to emote a little bigger, but you can reach all the way up to the top,” she said. “Eye contact is important, even if it’s from 500 yards away.” Swift said she’s never worried about the sound being lost in a massive space. With a few shows already under her belt, she feels they’ve gone pretty well. “Everyone who comes
to these shows seems so engaged,” she said. “They come to the show. They know the words. I’m singing the words. We’re singing them at the same time, and therein lies the connection. It goes beyond what size the venue is.” She recently embarked on her RED tour of North America. Later this fall, she’ll perform in Australia and New Zealand. Swift, who writes her own songs, has sold more than 75 million albums. She recently appeared on the Fox sitcom “New Girl.” And while she likes acting, she has no plans to put aside her guitar and pen — unless something really impresses her.
“Eye contact is important, even if it’s from 500 yards away.” Taylor Swift “I love to write music. And I love to put an album together and take
two years to do it and put everything I have into it. (Except) if there was

something, some script that came along that was so enticing that I couldn’t walk away from it, that I became obsessed with that the way I obsess over music,” she said. “If you see me commit to a film, it’s only because I couldn’t focus on anything else.”
Swift was honored as Fragrance Celebrity of the Year at the Fragrance Awards, presented Wednesday night at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. “Getting this award is such an honor,” she said on the red carpet before the event.

This father feels blessed to have confident daughters DEAR ABBY: I am writing you not because of a problem, but because of two special people in my life. I have two daughters, both in their 20s. They are welleducated and happy. I adore them. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be their parents. We never pushed them toward goals or to succeed, but they are self-motivated and confident. I have come to the conclusion that some of us are quite blessed. I’d like you to know that at least two parents in this world realize that we are, and that we count our blessings. I am older now, and my relationship with my daughters continues to mature and grow. Older age has its joys, too -- some far deeper than I had ever imagined. -- AN APPRECIATIVE FATHER IN OREGON DEAR APPRECIATIVE FATHER: Thank you for writing an “upper” of a letter. Your daughters didn’t turn out so well by magic, and congratulations to you and your wife for what was obviously successful parenting. I would like to wish you a very happy Father’s Day and offer the same to fathers everywhere -- birth fathers, stepfathers, adoptive fathers, foster fathers, and those caring men who mentor children and fill the role of
absent fathers. D E A R ABBY: My son is married to a wonderful young wom“Dana,” Abigail an, and they Van Buren have a small baby. Dana Dear Abby suffered a brain injury years ago that left her somewhat developmentally delayed. Until the baby was born, it wasn’t much of an issue, but it is becoming apparent that Dana is not always able to parent the child appropriately. (She will leave her on a table to get a diaper, doesn’t feed her according to schedule and doesn’t dress her warmly in cold weather.) My son takes care of things when he’s home, but he works every day. When I think of my own daughter’s development, I see that Dana is operating at approximately a middle-teen level even though she’s 28. Can you advise what I can do to ensure my granddaughter is safe and secure without making my daughter-in-law feel inadequate? I don’t want to seem like a meddling M-I-L. -- LOVES DANA
DEAR LOVES DANA: If Dana would leave the baby on a table while she went to get a diaper, would she also leave the baby in a tub while she went to answer a phone? If you haven’t voiced your concerns to your son, please do because your granddaughter could be seriously injured. Parenting classes might help your daughter-in-law, or involving a social worker or arranging for day care for the baby could also solve this problem. DEAR ABBY: My wife of 37 years is calling out another man’s name and moving her lips in her sleep. I don’t recognize the name and I believe it might be someone she works with. Should I be concerned? -SLEEPLESS IN TEXAS DEAR SLEEPLESS: You should be curious, but sleeptalking is not necessarily indicative of romance. If you haven’t already, ask her who the man of her dreams is. She could be mumbling the name of an old boyfriend from high school or that of a beloved pet from childhood. (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). If a problem is important to you, it’s important -- but not as important as a problem that affects many. If you are able to improve something that will help many people, do so, and your own problem might get solved in the process. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Why you do what you do speaks to what kind of person you are. Different people have different reasons. The same act can be cowardly or brave, depending on the reason motivating it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one is all good or all bad. The action today highlights the complex mix that’s inside each individual. You’ll watch loved ones closely, and their unpredictable behavior will intrigue you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Deal only with the things you’re pretty sure you can change today, because many of the issues presented will not be worth your time. You have a talent for staying on purpose.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The amount of attention you give someone determines whether they are major or minor characters in your day. You’re the director of this scene, so don’t cast people who make you miserable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re no stranger to feeling displaced and bewildered. Your lovely characteristics will be a contrast to your environment at some point today, and you’ll have to take a step back to remember: “How did I land here?” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is creativity in your soul that needs a vehicle. You won’t be satisfied by doing the same kind of work you did last week. You need the stimulation of a new challenge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Every day is special to you, but some days, you have to try a little harder to see why. Not now. Your eyes will be open to the unique qualities of this time, and your heart will be tender with the real-
ization of how precious life is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a group you’re thinking of joining, and it’s a good idea. Belonging to a group will make you more comfortable with groups in general. The more you interact the higher your confidence will rise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Personal space becomes an issue as noisy circumstances or obtrusive people threaten to invade your peace. Take precautions, and stand up for yourself sooner rather than being overly polite. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may be surprised at what flies out of your mouth when you’re feeling comfortable. The person who can make you drop your defenses is attractive on many levels. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Become a teacher of what you most need or want to learn. There’s no reason to wait. No one is going to give you permission. Dive in and start figuring it out.

Rea keys Bulldogs at CWS Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Mississippi State’s Wes Rea went to bat in the eighth inning expecting to see a changeup, and Oregon State pitcher Matt Boyd didn’t disappoint him. Rea drove the ball into right-center for a two-run double that gave the Bulldogs the lead, and closer Jonathan Holder worked out of trouble twice to secure a 5-4 victory Saturday in the opening game of the College World Series. “I’m fortunate enough I’ve been up at the plate in these situations and have been able to get it done,” Rea said. “It’s something I take a lot of pride in when there are runners in
scoring position.” The Bulldogs (49-18) advanced to a Monday game against Indiana, who beat Louisville 2-0 in Saturday’s late game. The Beavers (5012), the No. 3 national seed, are one loss from elimination. There still were some anxious moments for the Bulldogs after Rea’s big hit. Oregon State had two runners on base with one out in the eighth, but Holder got a flyout and struck out pinchhitter Joey Jansen. The Beavers had two runners on base with one out again in the ninth after Holder pitched carefully to Mi-
chael Conforto and walked him. It wasn’t bad strategy. Conforto had reached base four times. “I definitely didn’t want Conforto to beat me,” Holder said. “He had been pretty hot early in the game so I was kind of taking a pattern-two kind of mentality to him. I wasn’t going to let him really get off a good swing and hurt us, so I was all right with the walk and try to get a groundball with the next guy.” Holder actually struck out the next batter, Dylan Davis, before Danny Hayes drove a ball to right that Hunter Renfroe caught on the warning track to end the game.
Hayes threw his helmet to the ground as Renfroe gloved the ball, and the Bulldogs came pouring out of the dugout in celebration. “Yeah, I think everybody might have had a shaky feeling there,” said Holder, who earned his 19th save. Renfroe’s hard comebacker off the leg of Boyd (10-4) put runners on first and second in the eighth for the Bulldogs. Rea then drove Boyd’s first-pitch changeup into the right-center gap. Andy Detz scored easily and Renfroe beat second baseman Andy Peterson’s relay throw home. Please see CWS | 11A

Spurs’ Parker: Hamstring can ‘tear any time’ BY PAUL J. WEBER The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Spurs guard Tony Parker said Saturday the strained right hamstring that wore him down this week could tear “any time now” heading into Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat. But he’s giving no thought to letting the injury properly heal. “If it was the regular season, I would be resting like 10 days,” Parker said. “But now it’s the NBA Finals. If it gets a tear, it’s life.” It would also deal a major blow to the Spurs’ chances of winning this title. Yet despite the blunt assessment of his hamstring, the All-Star told reporters he is getting stronger on the eve of San Antonio’s final home game Sunday night. Parker said he is confident, staying disciplined with treatment and still aspires to be “close to 100 percent” by tipoff. That’s exactly how the 31-year-old point guard looked to start Game 4 on Thursday night, two days after straining the hamstring in a blowout win. But Parker faded badly after a sizzling start, going scoreless in the second half while the Heat pulled away and tied the series 2-all, reclaiming home-court advantage. Parker acknowledged feeling fatigued as Game 4 dragged on. His scoring average in the Finals has dipped to 13.8 points after arguably the best season of his 12-year career. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich downplayed the severity of Parker’s injury and the struggles of another of his Big Three, guard Manu Ginobili, who is shooting a career-worst 38 percent in the playoffs but whose need to pick up the slack heightens when Parker is ailing. “They’re fine,” Popovich said Saturday. Popovich’s concern instead: turnovers. Especially now that the Spurs are faced with needing another win in Miami — and maybe two — in order to claim a fifth championship. They stole Game 1 in South Beach behind an exceptionally careful and disciplined game by NBA standards — playoffs or regular season — tying a Finals record with just four turnovers. But since then, the Spurs have 49 turnovers, including 36 in two losses. Sloppy play is one culprit. But so is the sheer athleticism and talent of the Heat, which has scored 42 points off turnovers in its two victories. Making matters worse for the Spurs in Game 4 was the resurgence of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who combined to score 85 of Miami’s 109 points on Thursday night. San Antonio has survived careless ball protection this season, going 2513 when committing 16 or more turnovers. But against Miami’s Big Three, the margin for error shrinks. “You got to be close to perfect to beat them,” Ginobili said Saturday. “And we were pretty far from that (in Game 4). If they’re having an OK game, we can make a few mistakes here and there and we can mask it. But when they’re playing like we just can’t make mistakes.”

Freeman, Braves rally past Giants Associated Press
ATLANTA — Justin Upton has seen a lot of Sergio Romo and knew what pitches to look for — and what pitch to take. Freddie Freeman didn’t have that advantage, so he said he was just looking for anything to hit. The strategies worked for each of the Braves’ hitters in a ninth-inning comeback against the Giants’ closer. Upton drew a bases-loaded walk from Romo to force in the tying run and Freeman followed with a line-drive single off the closer to cap a two-run rally in the ninth that lifted Atlanta to a 6-5 win over San Francisco on Saturday. “It’s just nice to be able to come back,” Freeman said. “We battled and to come back and get a win makes it nice.” B.J. Upton hit two homers off Chad Gaudin, but the
Braves trailed 5-4 entering the ninth. Romo (3-3) walked pinchhitter Evan Gattis, who was replaced by pinch-runner Reed Johnson, with one out. Andrelton Simmons followed with a grounder that skipped past third baseman Joaquin Arias for an error, putting runners on first and second. Jason Heyward followed with a liner that fell in front of left fielder Andres Torres, loading the bases. Justin Upton, who came to Atlanta in an offseason trade from Arizona, where the Giants were a division rival, took a close 3-2 pitch for a ball to force in the tying run. The pitch, which had Upton backing away, was close to the inside part of the plate. Romo took a few steps toward the plate to express his disagreement.
“It was a close pitch but I obviously think it’s a ball,” Upton said. “Pitchers want that pitch. It went my way.” Added Upton: “I’ve seen him a few times so I know what to look for.” Asked about the 3-2 pitch, Romo said “It really doesn’t matter what I think. The outcome of the game is already settled.” Romo said he didn’t let the walk affect his concentration against Freeman. “I was fine,” he said. “I had to focus. We were still in the game. Although they tied the game we still had an opportunity to keep playing. You got to dig down deep right there and stay focused.” Romo threw Freeman two sliders — one ball and one strike — before trying to sneak a fastball past the big first baseman. The left-handed hit-
ting Freeman turned on the pitch, lining the game-winning single to right field. “I just put my foot down and swung when I saw the ball,” Freeman said. “I don’t look for anything. I just put my foot down and swing and hope for the best.” Romo took his third blown save in 19 opportunities. Braves closer Craig Kimbrel (2-1) struck out Hunter Pence to end the ninth with runners on first and second. Pence drove in two runs. Gaudin gave up four runs on eight hits in five-plus innings. Pence had a run-scoring single in the Giants’ three-run third inning and a sacrifice fly in a two-run fifth. The Giants had won three straight.

ARDMORE, Pa. — For all those runner-up finishes, with so much heartache chasing the major he covets, Phil Mickelson has never had a better chance to win the U.S. Open. It’s the first time he has ever had the outright lead going into the final round. Of the nine players within five shots, only one has the experience of winning a major. And Tiger Woods went from contender to middle-of-the-pack by matching his worst U.S. Open score as a pro. Despite a bogey on the final hole at Merion — the 18th was so tough it didn’t yield a single birdie in the third round — Mickelson was the sole survivor to par Saturday with an even-par 70 that gave him a one-shot lead over Hunter Mahan, Steve Stricker and
former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel. Mickelson celebrates his 43rd birthday Sunday — on Father’s Day, no less. He left Merion on Monday and didn’t return until three hours before his tee time on Thursday so he could attend the eighthgrade graduation of his oldest daughter. “It’s got the makings to be something special,” Mickelson said. “But I still have to go out and perform, and play some of my best golf.” He has been good enough to play 54 holes in 1-under 209. And he was close to perfection when he stood on the par-3 17th hole with a 4-iron in his hand, 253 yards away from the orange wicker basket attached to the pin, the signature look at Merion. He was one shot behind Luke
Donald until a pure swing and an 8-foot birdie putt gave him the lead. “I just stood and admired it,” Mickelson said. “It was one of the best shots I’ve ever hit. I mean, it just was right down the center of the green and I was hoping it would kind of get the right bounces. It left me a beautiful uphill putt that I could be aggressive with and I made it. That was fun to do that because that’s just not a hole you expect to get one back.” Four others players who had been under par late in the round couldn’t hang on. Donald twice made poor swings with a 2-iron, and it cost him three shots. Mahan, Schwartzel and Justin Rose all finished bogey-bogey. There was trouble everywhere at Merion, and it didn’t take much to find it. One
swing cost Ian Poulter, who drove out-of-bounds on the 15th. One decision cost Nicolas Colsaerts, who tried to hit a shot under a tree on the 18th and made triple bogey. That left Mickelson alone at the top for only the second time in a major — he won the 2006 Masters with the lead. The U.S. Open, however, has been nothing but trouble for Lefty. “I don’t think I feel any more pressure than anybody else who wants to win ... the U.S. Open,” Mickelson said. “This is a tournament for years I’ve had opportunities, I’ve come close to, and it would mean a lot tomorrow if I could play some of my best golf — certainly if I can play the way I have been.” Saturday was more about Please see OPEN | 11A

“The swing Wes makes is symbolic of what he’s been doing the last three weeks,” Bulldogs coach John Cohen said. “He’s been crunching the ball and he’s getting big, big hits for us.” Ross Mitchell (13-0) pitched 2 2-3 shutout innings before turning the game over to Holder. Oregon State starter Andrew Moore turned in a strong performance after giving up three runs in the second inning. Moore, the Pac-12 freshman of the year, came into the game off wins in seven straight games and had worked eight or more innings in five of his previous six starters. Moore missed up with his fastball early but settled down to retire 18 of 20 batters before Detz singled with one out in the eighth. “Mo had one bad inning and got real sharp,” Oregon State coach Pat Casey said. “We’re playing a club that’s got really good pitching out of the ‘pen. When we get 10 hits, we’ve got to be better. We didn’t execute in certain situations. And like always, little things win and lose big games.” Conforto, the Pac-12 player of the year, matched his career high with four hits. He doubled twice, threw out Sam Frost at the plate from left field to end the second inning and made a sprinting catch on Rea’s short fly to start the fourth. Kendall Graveman came in as the only Mississippi State starter to pitch out of the fourth inning in 10 postseason games. He left after Davis’ RBI groundout gave the Beavers a 4-3 lead in the fifth. Mississippi State overcame Adam Frazier’s early base-running mistake, a bad decision by left fielder Demarcus Henderson that led to a triple, and Frost’s throwing error at third that led to two Oregon State runs. “We can do some pretty dumb things and still find a way to win a ball game,” Cohen said, “because of the competitive nature of our kids.”
Indiana 2, Louisville 0 Joey DeNato threw a fourhitter and Indiana looked right at home in beating Louisville 2-0 on Saturday night in the Hoosiers’ first appearance in the College World Series. The Hoosiers manufactured their runs early, and DeNato (10-2) made them stand up in a masterful performance in front of a TD Ameritrade Park-record crowd of 27,122. Indiana (49-18) has beaten the Cardinals (51-13) in three of four meetings, shutting them out twice. The Hoosiers will play Monday against Mississippi State, and the Cardinals will face Oregon State in an elimination game. DeNato allowed three singles and a double in his second complete game. He struck out eight and walked three. Louisville starter Chad Green (10-4) left after Indiana loaded the bases with none out in the third inning.

UCLA star reliever patiently waits for scholarship BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — David Berg has pitched in three of every four UCLA baseball games over two seasons, set a school record for saves and was the Pac-12 pitcher of the year. For all that, he’s still a walkon. He said Saturday he’s been promised a scholarship for next year, when he’s a junior. Of course, Berg is grateful to be playing Division I baseball at all after going largely unrecruited through high school. UCLA’s coaching staff didn’t offer him a chance to make the team until a month after his senior year of high school in
2011. “Just a great college baseball story,” Bruins coach John Savage said. “It gives, I think, a feel for any young guy out there that feels like he’s not wanted. It was just a credit to him that he took advantage of the opportunity and he became what he is today.” Berg will go into UCLA’s College World Series opener against LSU on Sunday night with a 7-0 record and a Bruinsrecord 21 saves, tied for second in the nation. He has an 0.88 ERA, tied for first nationally. The two-time all-conference pick added to his collection of awards Saturday when he was
selected the Stopper of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. As a freshman, he was used as a setup man, which, Savage said, probably will be his role if he pitches professionally. Berg said he didn’t take it personally when people told him he couldn’t pitch at a big baseball school. “I was just happy I did what I did to prove coach Savage and coach (T.J.) Bruce right,” he said. “They were the ones willing to give me a chance.” Savage described Berg as an average high school pitcher who didn’t appear destined to land at a major baseball school
until his coaches at Bishop Amat High helped him develop his distinct sidearm delivery. Berg led Bishop Amat to the sectional championship at Dodger Stadium, where he was spotted by UCLA pitching coach T.J. Bruce. UC Irvine and Nevada also showed interest, but Berg jumped at Savage’s invitation to walk on with the understanding there would be no scholarship money available for two years. “I visited with him for about 45 minutes, and I could tell he was going to be good,” Savage said. “I didn’t know he was going to be this good.”
fourth time he shot 76 in the U.S. Open, but never when he started out so close to the lead. Now, he’s 10 shots behind. “It certainly is frustrating,” said Woods, who has been stuck on 14 majors since winning the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. “I’m playing well enough to do it, and unfortunately just haven’t gotten it done.” The final hour might have been a sneak
preview for Sunday. At one point, there were five players under par, and suddenly there was only Mickelson. Donald made double bogey on the 18th hole from the middle of the fairway, trying to swing too hard on a 2-iron to get up the hill and beyond the false front of the green. He wound up in ankle-deep rough, so gnarly that his third shot
squirted across the green and into more thick grass. “I should have done better,” Donald said. “It was disappointing, but I’ll take the positives out of today — a really solid 16 holes of golf, and I’m only two back.” Mahan let his spectacular back nine filled with four birdies go to waste with a bogeybogey finish for a 69.

weeding out the pretenders for this U.S. Open — and one of them turned out to be Woods. He started out just four shots out of the lead, and made a bending, 12-foot birdie putt on the opening hole. It never got any better for the world’s No. 1 player. He made seven bogeys the rest of the way and didn’t add another birdie. It was the

A Civil War image of residential Corinth.
Civil War affected average citizens The Citizens of Cross City I’ve told you plenty of stories about the generals, soldiers, and battles, but what about the regular folks who called Corinth home? How did the war affect them and what was life like with soldiers camped all over the neighborhood? In the days leading up to the war Corinth was a prosperous little town with all the potential to become a prosperous big town. T h e r e Tom w e r e Parson a b o u t 1 , 6 0 0 Park Ranger folks living in Corinth, and around 400 of them were slaves. Most of the people in town made a living connected with the railroad while those in the country made a living, of course, by farming. Everything changed on January 9th, 1861. A few weeks earlier South Carolina had decided to go it alone and seceded from the United States. The Governor of Mississippi called for a convention in Jackson to decide if the state wanted to follow South Carolina’s example. Most of the other counties may have liked the idea but Tishomingo County (modern Alcorn, Tishomingo, and Prentiss counties) was in no hurry to leave the Union. The four delegates from Tishomingo County were sent to the state capital with orders to vote against secession. You see, most of the
folks in Corinth made a living, directly or indirectly, through interstate commerce; their bread and butter was tied to the railroad tracks leading to the four points of the compass. If Mississippi left the country there was no telling what might happen to their way of life. When the big vote came on the 9th of January, Mississippi left the Union and for a few weeks was a sovereign nation. As a result, the population in town dropped by several hundred when folks with strong ties to the north packed up and left. Another drop in the population occurred in the next few months when most of the ablebodied men joined the army and were sent off to Virginia or the Gulf Coast. Of course the “transient” population soared as soldiers poured into town from across the state, but this article is about the local residents. The biggest hit to the population came following the Battle of Shiloh. All the public buildings were filled with wounded soldiers and the army was putting up earthworks as fast as they could. General Beauregard expected the Northern army to arrive at practically any minute and he feared the townsfolk might get caught in the crossfire of a major battle. On the 9th of April he ordered all civilians to leave the city. Thus began the second exodus of Corinth which left fewer than a hundred residents in their homes. Those that did so stayed for a number of reasons; a few didn’t have the means to leave, some just outright refused and there
When the big vote came on the 9th of January, Mississippi left the Union and for a few weeks was a sovereign nation. As a result, the population in town dropped by several hundred when folks with strong ties to the north packed up and left. were several slaves who kept an eye on the house as their owners fled to the south. By the end of May the army pulled out for Tupelo and a number of the remaining citizens went with them. A nearly deserted Corinth was left to the Union. But not everyone left. The mayor’s clerk, a fellow by the name of Harrington, stayed behind and made a plea that the private homes be spared from burning. It can be debated whether Harrington saved them or the Union generals wanted the homes for their own headquarters. At any rate, there was no bonfire of homes. The Rev. Leroy Gaston and his wife Susan, who I talked about in a previous article, remained in their beloved Corona College which had been pressed into service as a hospital. The big brick building was filled with Confederates too badly sick or wounded to retreat with the army. Mrs. Gaston soon beat it out of town a few steps ahead of the Provost Marshal who had a warrant for her arrest for being a spy, which she was. A few days later Mr. Gaston pulled up stakes as well. Dr. Joseph Stout chose to remain and continue his practice in town. It didn’t take long for some
of the other townsfolk to label him a traitor for consorting with the enemy. And it was true, he did spend plenty of time chatting and making nice with the Union officers. What his neighbors didn’t know was that Doc Stout was a patriotic Confederate spy who spent the entire occupation passing along information about the enemy. He stood the abuse and kept the secret so well his neighbors didn’t know a thing until long after the war. The good doctor’s contact with the army was teenage soldier Daniel Hyneman of Corinth. Daniel had enlisted when he was barely 15 and though he left town with the army he kept sneaking back in to pass information to and from Doc Stout. Daniel was very small for his age and looked more like a boy than a soldier. He used his appearance to his advantage. He would ride to a nearby sympathetic farmer by the name of John (Jack) Tabscott who would hide the horse while Daniel changed into some wellworn civilian clothes. Jack had stayed on his farm while his son Lucius was fighting in the 2nd Mississippi Infantry. On one occasion Daniel met up with an old couple in a buggy and posed as
their young son to make his way into town. He kept up the ruse of being a local boy throughout the Union occupation. After the war Daniel returned to Corinth and partnered up with William Borroum and the two operated a grocery store on the corner of Cruise and Fillmore, right where the Weeden Law Firm sits today. Afraid of implicating Dr. Stout as a traitor he kept the spy story a secret until after the doctor died. As the Union occupation went on there was an easy peace between the Corinthians and the soldiers. One female resident made a surprising confession to Pvt. Clinton Parkhurst of the 16th Iowa Infantry. She had been led to expect the worse of the enemy but, “the Federals were not the dreadful monsters she had long supposed them to be.” Indeed, a few of those “monsters” came to the aid of some of the locals in their hour of need. When the Battle of Corinth broke out on the 3rd of October the fighting could be heard to the northwest shortly after dawn. Benjamin Bruton, a local farmer on the west side of town, was getting nervous. His wife America and their four daughters were still asleep when a kindly Federal officer reined up his horse and advised Ben to take his family and flee. Good advice is worth its weight in gold; Benjamin threw a pile of quilts into the back of the wagon and headed south, away from the fighting. When they returned they found their clap board home full of bullet holes. The home
has been known ever since as the White House and was the site of some of the most intense fighting of the battle. Another Union officer gave a similar warning to Mrs. Martha Wilson, the wife of Francis Wilson who was a wagon driver before the war. It’s kind of sketchy whether Francis had joined the army or not but he was out of town on October 4th when the Confederates were attacking Battery Powell (Taylor & 3rd Street). Martha and her mother-in-law, McElwee, were living in a house just behind the fort and the officer urged them to take cover immediately. There was nowhere to run. With no other options the two women, with the officer’s help, were lowered into a nearby dry well, all the while Martha was holding tight to her three year-old daughter Maggie. For extra protection the soldier piled some boards and a mattress over the mouth of the well. The fighting roared all over the low hill and around the house. The Confederates took the piece of property and a few minutes later the Union took it back. After the fighting the officer pulled away the coverings from the well and helped the ladies back to the surface where they saw the devastation they had been listening to. I have often wondered if anyone else knew they were down that well and what would’ve become of them had the officer been killed. (Tom Parson is a National Park Service ranger at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.)
Two grand old men continued serving their town (The following was transcribed by Deborah Grimes for the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society from The Vidette, Iuka, Oct. 26, 1950.)
Iuka continues to be served by elderly minister, doctor (By Lyla Mc Donald, correspondent for The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn.) Retire? “No!,” says Iuka’s two grand old men, the Rev. J. H. Holder and Dr. A. E. Bostick both of whom celebrated their birthdays last Thursday.
The Rev. Mr. Holder is 76 and Dr. Bostick is 80. The Rev. Mr. Holder reached the age prescribed by his church for retirement several years ago, after serving RaNae the Iuka Vaughn Methodist Church as Historically Speaking pastor two years, but he asked to be kept in active service. He was put in charge of the Iuka Circuit, which at that time consisted of eight widely separated churches.
As pastor (Rev. J.H. Holder) has received 3,000 into the church and claimed the privilege of standing at the graves of more Confederate soldiers than any other man in the conference. He served them all. Two years later a helper was assigned to him.
Born In Tate County The Rev. Mr. Holder was born in Tate County, Miss. He was ordained at Tupelo in December 1900. He has served four circuit charges and nine
station charges, among which were Pontotoc, Grenada, West Point, Cleveland and Winona. He served two terms as district superintendent in the Sardis and Holly Springs District. He also served six years as field representative of the colleges and universities of the church. As
pastor he has received 3,000 into the church and claimed the privilege of standing at the graves of more Confederate soldiers than any other man in the conference. While serving the Iuka Circuit he has built three new churches which were dedicated by Bishop Franklin on Sunday.
Doctor’s career Dr. A. E. Bostick was born near Winfield, Ala. When he was 13 years of age, he moved to Mississippi. He taught school and farmed until he went to medical college in Memphis, where he grad-
uated in 1907. According to the custom of the day, he practiced medicine while still a student. He practiced in Tishomingo, Itawamba and Prentiss Counties in Mississippi and in Franklin and Marion counties in Alabama. He moved to Iuka in 1930. A general practitioner, he has delivered about 6,000 babies.

MDWFP urges ‘Let nature take its course’ With spring in fullswing and summer quickly approaching, newborn wildlife will be in abundance all across the Magnolia State; which means a chance encounter with newly hatched birds, newborn squirrels and white-tailed fawns are quite likely. From that perspective, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks recently sent out a reminder urging its constituents to let nature take its course. Many of Mississippi’s citizens will come across some type of newborn
wildlife this spring and summer that they feel has been a b a n David d o n e d , Green and according Outdoors to Deer Program Biologist Justin Thayer, baby birds, squirrels, and white-tailed fawns are among the top wildlife that people most often report as being abandoned. “Well-meaning people often pick these animals up in an attempt to care
for them, but often do more harm than good,” Thayer commented. Mississippi law prohibits the capture, possession, or caging of any wild animal. ”This law is in place to protect wildlife, and residents should heed the warning if they care about the best interest of the animal,” Thayer says. In cases such as young birds or squirrels being blown out of nests during summer storms, the adult animals will find their young and continue to take care of them. As for white-tail fawns,
doe deer take great care to purposefully hide the fawn during its first few weeks of life. The doe returns several times a day to nurse and will have the fawn following her, and able to outrun predators, in just a matter of weeks. The months of May and June are the peak nesting season for many birds. And some species, like the wild turkey and bobwhite quail, nest directly on the ground, often nesting adjacent to roadways, along fields, or near forest edges, and the proximity to these areas can lead to
their disturbance by human activities. In the event a nest site is discovered, the MDWFP urges citizens to leave the area immediately and avoid unnecessary disturbances around the nest area in order to lessen the threat of undue detrimental impact. When feasible, the Department of Wildlife also recommends delaying pasture maintenance activities such as mowing or haying until July 1 to ensure the safety of nesting wild turkeys in these areas. Spring is a magical time of year in the wild-
life world with new life abounding, and the MDWFP hopes everyone takes the time this spring and summer to look around and observe some of the new wildlife calling the Magnolia State home. So get out and enjoy it, but remember -- leave young wildlife alone. Nature has a way of taking care of itself!

‘Mad Men’ actor bites off bigger role in season 6 The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — No one is more surprised than Kevin Rahm that his “Mad Men” character Ted Chaough has become a major player in the AMC drama’s sixth season. “I’m always surprised,” Rahm said of the series’ many twists and turns. “It wasn’t until Don said, ‘Do you want to get in some trouble?’ that I was like ‘Oh, oh!’ The first time I read (the script) I was like ‘Oh, yes! Yes, we should merge!’ And you know Matt (Weiner) had told me that there were big things coming for the character, but I didn’t see it.” Rahm’s character appeared in a handful episodes in past seasons as the boss of a competing advertising firm. But the recent merger of his and Don Draper’s companies — along with a shocking kiss with Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) — has
thrust Ted to the forefront of the 1960s ad world drama. In a recent interview, the one-time “Desperate Housewives” actor compared leading man Jon Hamm to Hollywood megastar George Clooney and discussed why he’s staying tight-lipped about that Ted/Peggy lip lock. AP: Initially you wanted to be a lawyer? Kevin Rahm: My intent was to go to law school. ... And then what I realized quickly is what I wanted was to be on ‘L.A. Law.’ And ironically now I get to work with Mr. (Harry) Hamlin. AP: You also share the screen with Jon Hamm. What’s that like? Rahm: The first scene two years ago when we met in the Benihana on the Honda episode — it was daunting. I mean Jon’s the nicest guy, a genuinely good guy and so he makes it easier. ... He’s
Cryptoquip
My intent was to go to law school. ... And then what I realized quickly is what I wanted was to be on ‘L.A. Law.’ And ironically now I get to work with Mr. (Harry) Hamlin. Kevin Rahm Actor, “Mad Men” just a good guy. I call it the ‘Clooney effect,’ when you don’t get famous till you’re 30 or in your mid30s. Adam Carolla said in his podcast last week that he thinks of us (men) like cement and if it’s still wet you can write into it, but once it hardens you’re going to be the guy you are. AP: What do fans usually want to talk about? Rahm: It’s weird. I had someone yesterday stop me from (my role on) ‘Friends.’ So I think it depends on whatever their milieu is, but more and more ‘Mad Men.’ ...
They all want to know what is going to happen (with Peggy and Ted), if something is going to happen and if it does — when. I got to meet a lot of the ‘Downton Abbey’ cast last night and I’m a huge fan of ‘Downton.’ So I’m like ‘Oh my god! I love your show!’ And they in turn (ask about ‘Mad Men’) and I’m like ‘Oh my god that’s right. I’m on a show, too!’ AP: So you have fan moments too? Rahm: Oh absolutely. I’m a fan first and foremost. I watch way too
much television and like a lot of shows so I’m always excited to meet those people and hope they’re not douchey. AP: So what exactly was the deal with the TedPeggy kiss? Rahm: You can argue that it’s out of gratitude. You could argue that he’s completely in love with her and he’s fighting it. That’s the other thing that is exciting about the show is that we don’t know. It’s not handed to you — or us — on a silver platter. AP: It is impossible to get spoilers from ‘Mad Men’ actors. Why is that? Rahm: For threat of life and limb! It’s been pounded into us. Matt (Weiner) gives a speech before every table read and he says ‘Welcome. We’re really happy to have you here. You’re part of the family now and if you say anything we will destroy you.’ So yeah, he explains the commercial viability of the
show is that no one knows. And that’s rare these days. ... That’s what creates the buzz about Bob Benson and Ted and Peggy and Don. What’s going to happen to Don? Megan wears a shirt with a star and everyone all of a sudden goes to the (Sharon) Tate killings. But that’s what can happen because of the secrecy. AP: I understand you recently celebrated your one year anniversary with your wife Amy Lonkar, a cardiothoracic surgeon. How has married life been? Rahm: It’s the best decision I ever made. She grounds me in a great way. ... She puts my job in perspective real quick. You know any time people are talking about Emmys or something like that and you start to think ‘Oh, I’m pretty cool’ and then I talk to her about her day and I go ‘Yeah, we (actors) play. We play.’
Media giant Murdoch files for divorce from Wendi Deng The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch has filed for divorce from Wendi Deng Murdoch, his wife since 1999, citing a breakdown in the relationship. The matter doesn’t alter the succession plan for the media company, which the 82-year-old founder controls through a family trust. Murdoch filed a onepage document Thursday indicating that he was opening a divorce case in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. A News Corp. spokesperson confirmed the filing. A sealed document with the filing says, “the relationship between the husband and wife has broken down irretrievably,” according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter was personal. The couple are parents to two daughters, Grace and Chloe, ages 11 and 9. The girls have no voting stake in the company, but they are beneficiaries of 8.7 million non-voting
shares that are held in a trust. Wendi Deng Murdoch, 44, also has nonvoting shares. Murdoch controls nearly 40 percent of the voting shares of News Corp. through a separate family trust. He has four other children from two previous marriages, including three who have active roles within the company: James, Lachlan and Elisabeth. All four children, including Prudence, his child from his first marriage, have equal votes in electing trustees. That means that upon Murdoch’s death, his four eldest children will continue to have the most say in who controls News Corp. Rupert Murdoch’s lawyer, Ira Garr, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The divorce filing comes just a week before the company begins the process to split in two. One company will contain a publishing division and Australian TV assets. A separate company will house global TV and movie businesses. Markets appeared to be
unfazed by the announcement. After starting the day in negative territory, News Corp.’s widely traded non-voting shares were up 1.4 percent at $31.37 by late afternoon. Born in China, Wendi Deng Murdoch is a Yale graduate who went on to work as a junior executive at News Corp.’s subsidiary Star TV in Hong Kong. Deng was introduced to Murdoch at a Hong Kong cocktail party in 1997. She left Star TV before marrying the media mogul in June 1999 aboard Murdoch’s private yacht, in New York. She produced the movie “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan,” which was released in 2011 by News Corp.’s Fox Searchlight. According to entertainment website IMDb, The movie did not recoup its $6 million budget. Wendi Deng Murdoch leapt into the spotlight during a July 2011 British parliamentary hearing into phone hacking by News Corp. newspapers. She jumped up to smack a protester who was throwing a cream pie at her husband.
Johnson slips into headlining spot for Mumford and Sons at Bonnaroo The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, Tenn. — It’s Jack Johnson to the rescue at Bonnaroo. Johnson has agreed to take the Saturday night headlining slot at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival after Mumford & Sons were forced to cancel due to bassist Ted Dwane’s illness. Festival officials announced the move Friday. The “Upside Down” singer last headlined at Bonnaroo in 2008. “I called my band and asked if they were up for it,” Johnson said in a statement. “Long story short — they are headed this way. I’ve got a lot of lyrics and chords to relearn by Saturday night. I was here to play the first Bonnaroo, and it is a very special festival to my band. We are excited to hit the stage again. Get well Ted!” Mumford & Sons’ decision comes after Dwane received treatment this week for a blood clot on his brain. The band postponed three shows in Dallas and Woodlands, Texas, and New Orleans after the blood clot was discovered but hoped to
“(Ted Dwane’s) surgery went well, and the excellent medical team helping him are very pleased with his progress. He has been nothing short of heroic in how he has handled the whole ordeal, and now it has been medically proved that he does indeed have a brain.” Mumford and Sons play Bonnaroo on Saturday night. Dwane has been discharged from the hospital and is recovering from the procedure but is not yet ready to play. Rather than perform with a replacement, the London-based, Grammy-award-winning folk rock band decided to pull out. The band also canceled appearances at the Telluride Festival in Colorado and a performance in Bonner, Kan., ending their summer tour early. “The surgery went well, and the excellent medical team helping him are very pleased with his progress,” a band statement said. “He has been noth-
ing short of heroic in how he has handled the whole ordeal, and now it has been medically proved that he does indeed have a brain.” It was a case of being in the right place at the right time for Johnson. The 38-year-old Hawaii-born folk-rock singer was in town to play with friends ALO on Thursday night. He also was already scheduled to be in Manchester this weekend to perform a small secret show for reporters and participate in a questionand-answer session to promote his new album, “From Here To Now To You,” which is due out in September.

Reception decor trends get creative, personal BY KIM COOK Associated Press
More personal, more inventive. Those are the dominant trends in wedding receptions, experts say, in an era when brides have all the resources of the Internet to plan, share and often produce their own affairs. Many are drawn to something beyond the traditional banquet/speeches/garter throw-and-go reception of the past.
Pins and Plans Sites like Project Wedding, The Knot, Wedding Wire and Pinterest show a wide variety of designs for fabric and paper decorations, centerpieces, color schemes, food table displays and party activities. A bride can take on the creative task herself with friends, or share her favorite ideas with professional planners or vendors. There are tips online for hosting an under-$5,000 wedding, or making a large reception feel more intimate. Many sites include region-specific vendor lists. A bride “has access to tons of creative, easy ideas that she can even replicate herself to save a little money and add unique personality to her event,” says Diana Vermeulen, who runs the Detroit-based Moxie Photography. She shoots photojournalist-style weddings with a contemporary vibe; she likes to train her camera on candid moments — a group of guests sharing
Our Family Chain We little knew that morning That God would call your name, In life we loved you dearly; In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our Family Chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The Chain will link again.
a laugh; the bride in a pensive moment; kids and dogs enjoying the party. Shira Savada, an editor at Martha Stewart Weddings, says that when it comes to details, today’s brides aren’t “just duplicating something they see in a magazine — it’s ordering something custom through Etsy, or having mom make fabric napkins instead of renting.”
Themes Craig Norton, director of operations for the Prince George Hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, says themes are in. He oversees between 40 and 50 weddings a year, with budgets from $10,000 to $120,000. “We’ve done a Parisian theme, with a bistro menu en francais. We did a summer camp theme for a couple who had met at one. There was food served in a canoe, a campfire, picnic tables and s’mores,” he says.
Colors Savada, at Martha Stewart, says color palettes have gotten more unusual: combos such as gray and black paired with coral, or ivory and cream with emerald. “Black may not be the first color you think of when you think wedding, but it packs a punch and can be quite elegant,” she says. “And metallics are all over the place.” Savada also notes that some brides love modern typography and juxtaposing
Although there are lots of new alternatives to flowers, Norton, at the Prince George, observes that brides still love blooms. “With the green movement, they were out of style for a while, but we’re once again getting requests for big centerpieces and buckets of flowers,” he says. For elaborate affairs, towering glass cylinders filled with crystals, ornaments, glittery sand or submerged blooms are popular.
Nuptial Nosh Norton’s seeing the return of a wedding-reception icon: the cake. “Cupcakes are out, and cakes are back,” Norton says. “At one wedding, we did a parade of cakes. Each table got its own two-tiered cake, cut and served family style. It’s impressive when a train of servers carrying 22 identical cakes walk into a room!”

sleek elements with a rustic outdoor venue, for example. Others love all things vintage — but now are finding inspiration in mid-century, ‘60s and ‘70s style. Another trend, she says, is having decor pull double duty: escort cards as favors, place cards integrated into the menu, centerpieces for the guests to take home. “And centerpieces don’t have to be flowers,” she says. “Couples are using paper blooms, plants, simple candles, fruits or vegetables, and shells.”
