Iuka man drowns in Pickwick Lake BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
IUKA — A 54-year-old Iuka resident died on Sunday morning after he drowned on Pickwick Lake close to the Tennessee-Mississippi state line, according to Hardin County
Fire Chief Melvin Martin. Roger Deaton was the victim after he drown around 11 a.m. Sunday. His boat was approximately a quarter-mile on the Mississippi side of the lake at the mouth of Yellow Creek when Dea-
ton lost his cap. He turned the boat around to retrieve his cap and jumped into the water and never came back up, according to Martin. Chief Martin said there were probably 10 boats on the water Monday to drag the lake look-
ing for Deaton’s body. The Hardin County Fire Department, the Mississippi and Alabama Wildlife, Colbert County and Cherokee, Ala., all had boats involved in the dragging operation. Martin estimated the wa-
ter was around 32-feet deep where Deaton jumped into the lake. He said the victim was not wearing a life jacket. The chief thought there were six to eight people on the boat with Deaton at the time of the accident.
MRHC employee relies on faith, positivity for job BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
Co-workers identify Marquetta Trice as a smiler and a hugger. A person who looks for the positive outcome in any situation, Trice was awarded the Magnolia Regional Health Center’s 2013 Employee of The Year Award. While employed with MRHC, Trice served as a social worker, but has recently transferred to Home Health and Hospice as she marks her third anniversary with the Alcorn County employer. “I couldn’t believe that I was
chosen, but I am really active with all parts of the hospital because, as a social worker, I run into everybody,” Trice said. The Selmer, Tenn., resident was selected from 11 other candidates during a hospital wide vote, having been placed on the list for consideration after having been named the November Employee of the Month. Each monthly honor is put up for the yearly selection, Trice’s hospital supervisor Jill Tays said. “She never put her own thoughts or judgements sepaPlease see TRICE | 3A

Today in history Today is Tuesday, June 25, the 176th day of 2013. There are 189 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 25, 1973, former White House Counsel John W. Dean began testifying before the Senate Watergate Committee, implicating top administration officials, including President Richard Nixon as well as himself, in the Watergate scandal and cover-up. On this date: In 1788, Virginia ratified the U.S. Constitution. In 1876, Lt. Col. Colonel George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were wiped out by Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana. In 1910, President William Howard Taft signed the White-Slave Traffic Act, more popularly known as the Mann Act, which made it illegal to transport women across state lines for “immoral” purposes. In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 was enacted. In 1943, Congress passed, over President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s veto, the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike Act, which allowed the federal government to seize and operate privately owned war plants facing labor strikes. In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Engel v. Vitale, ruled 6-1 that recitation of a statesponsored prayer in New York State public schools was unconstitutional. In 1988, Americanborn Mildred Gillars, known as “Axis Sally” for her Nazi propaganda broadcasts during World War II, died in Columbus, Ohio, at age 87. (Gillars had served 12 years in prison for treason.) In 1993, Kim Campbell was sworn in as Canada’s 19th prime minister, the first woman to hold the post. In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a line-item veto law as unconstitutional, and ruled that HIV-infected people are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2009, death claimed Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop,” in Los Angeles and actress Farrah Fawcett in Santa Monica, Calif.

rate and looked towards what was the best outcome for her patients…. she is a very compassionate, and dedicated person,” Tays said. Trice’s background and arrival to MRHC was through a diverse path which began in nursing. “My ultimate desire is people — I love helping people…,” Trice said, including that her transition from nursing to social work was to fill a needed position with a family business where she was the facility nurse. “We had no one in the social work field there, so I went to school while I worked to get my degree,” Trice said. It was during the work towards the degree where Trice first made contact with Magnolia, via an internship and the experience soon moved towards a job offer once she finished with school. “I felt so honored, they didn’t know much about me but they took a chance,” Trice said. Three years removed from her day on the job, Trice completed a Master’s degree in public health the same month as her Employee of the Year distinction. In December she made a transition from the hospital into the Home Health and Hospice division, taking the position as a ‘growing opportunity’.
Despite a new role inside the MRHC network, Trice’s job remains the same. “Your first priority is always to advocate for the patients and their families,” Trice said “Beyond the medical care they are receiving, you are looking out for other things. Do they need financial assistance for their medicine, do they have health insurance or any family issues? I can serve as a resource for patients and their families.” Going into homes and having personal contact with families allows for a more personal relationship, an aspect of the job that Trice finds rewarding. But it isn’t always easy, Trice said. “To do this job, I really do have to have a greater understanding of who I am and what my role is both as a social worker and as a person….. sometimes its not just an easily given solution. No patient experience is the same and I celebrate that because I can make a positive change,” Trice said. Trice’s positivity and motivation to help is also secured in a deeper power, one which is rooted firmly in her active church life and faith in God. “I think her faith has 100% influence the way she approaches her job and how she makes contact with patients on a daily basis, especially with a positive influence
over patients and their families,” Tays said. Faith also provides a little more focus for her job, Trice said. “It keeps me grounded because with some of the things you see and the things you come in contact with -- it can really effect you and so you have to be able to remain objective and go beyond what you see and pull something positive,” Trice said. Every day she tells herself that she is up for the challenge, and the fact every day brings something difference is one of the favorite portions of the job. “I look back every day and make sure that I’ve been the best I could be, that I’ve been kind to people, have treated people the way I want to be treated, and that something was accomplished,” Trice said. And, above all, Trice hopes she makes a difference in a positive and encouraging way. “If I can make someone else smile, if its a patient or a co-worker, then I’ve done something good. And I’m always looking for good in something,” Trice said. Outside of her work, Trice enjoys reading, spending time with her grandchildren and keeping an active church life that includes teaching adult Sunday School. “At the end of it all, I just keep some joy in my life and try to spread it around. I’m very lucky,” Trice said.

Corinth, Miss.
Omaha sojourn more than about baseball I’m a Mississippi State guy. Always have been, always will be. For more than 30 years now, I’ve made no secret of my allegiance to my alma mater and have never missed an opportunity to tell the story of what a difference Mississippi State University has made in my life and that of my late parents and my sisters. I love the place and I love the people. In 2011, I wrote a biograSid Salter phy of legendary MSU radio Columnist broadcaster Jack Cristil, who broadcast MSU sports for 58 years and never saw State compete for national title. The 1996 NCAA Final Four basketball tournament saw MSU drop their opening game to Syracuse and not make it to the championship game. Finally, a Mississippi team is playing for a national championship. And this championship won’t be left to the sportswriters or the wire services to decide. If MSU can beat UCLA twice in Omaha, the national championship trophy will be displayed in Starkville – and a celebration will rock the town ESPN’s Lee Corso likes to call “StarkVegas.” NCAA championships have been hard to come by in Mississippi, regardless of one’s loyalties. Sports rivalries in Mississippi are special. When one looks at the ranks of professional sports, it’s easy to see how truly dominant one combined University of Nebraska-style school could be in Mississippi. But in such a scenario, what would folks talk about before Sunday school? How would we torment our brother-in-laws, our co-workers or our friends? I do not indulge in the fantasy that everyone in Mississippi is rooting for the Bulldogs to win the national championship next week in Omaha. Will Bardwell - one of my favorite Ole Miss fans who is both a talented attorney and a Twitter ninja – offered this bit of bonejarring honesty in less than 140 characters on Saturday: “I don’t care whether it makes me a bad fan, a bad Mississippian, or a bad person. I don’t root for State. Period.” Far from angering me, I laughed out loud when I read Will’s tweet. Like Haley Barbour once said of politics, there’s the verity of always being for what you’re for. Will is an Ole Miss fan. He doesn’t waver from that position. It takes that kind of steadfast support for one’s school to maintain a decent rivalry. What I can say is that for Mississippi State folks, baseball is a great tradition and one that matters to us all year long, year after year, decade after decade. Our goal is always to win the SEC, always to make it to NCAA regional play, and always to advance to the College World Series. We love Dudy Noble Field and the Left Field Lounge. We love how the place smells, how it sounds, and how being there makes us feel. We love the energy of the record crowds that gather there. The 2013 sojourn to Omaha by Coach John Cohen and our MSU Bulldogs has raised an already storied baseball history to new and unprecedented heights. We are closer to a major sport NCAA national championship than MSU has ever been – closer even than the storied 1985 MSU squad led by future major-league All-Stars Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Brantley and Bobby Thigpen. We’re closer to an undisputed NCAA Division 1 major sport national championship as any Mississippi university has been since 1960. For Mississippi State folks – win, lose, or draw the rest of the way in Omaha – this has already been a dream baseball season. Now, the Bulldogs get to challenge UCLA for the national championship and I’d be surprised if most Mississippians aren’t rooting for them to win the whole thing. Now, it’s about more than baseball. It’s about history and Mississippians finishing first. More than anything, it’s about a MSU baseball team that has earned a programbest 3.38 grade point average this year while winning 51 games to get to the CWS championship series. How much it would mean to MSU folks if we could, as Jack Cristil liked to say, “wrap it in Maroon and White.” (Daily Corinthian and syndicated columnist Sid Salter can be contacted at 601-5078004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
Prayer for today Lord, thank You for being the anchor for our soul, keeping us steadfast and hopeful when the strong tides of doubt, disappointment and fear seek to overtake us. Amen.
A verse to share “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.” — Ezra 7:10
Scandals plague Dems; GOP debates policy The two political parties are in disarray. The Democrats are disheartened. The Republicans are disunited. Start with (because they’re first in alphabetical order) the Democrats. The Barack Obama they were so enthusiastic about in 2008 has been disappointing many of them lately. Not many happy Obama voters envisioned last November that his presidency would face multiple scandals six months later. During the campaign most of the media provided voters with little information about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi. But now it’s apparent to anyone paying attention that Obama and Hillary Clinton repeatedly misled Americans about the nature of the attack and their response. Strong partisans try to ignore that kind of information about their leader. But it’s getting harder to do so. It’s even harder to ignore the Justice Department’s actions against The Associated Press and Fox News’s James Rosen. (Disclosure: I’m a Fox News contributor.) As for the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups, prominent Democratic officeholders, including Obama, have
appropriately condemned it. I have seen no evidence yet that anyone in the Micahel White House Barone ordered the targeting. But Columnist it does seem peculiar that IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman and his chief of staff attended hundreds of meetings in the White House complex. And then there’s the news that the National Security Agency has been data mining and intercepting communications between suspected terrorists abroad and persons in the U.S. The latter used to be called “domestic wiretapping” during the Bush administration. Barack Obama denounced it vigorously. But as president he’s kept it up and now, perfunctorily, defends it. Many are surely disheartened by this and by his decision to provide some arms to Syrian rebels. Democrats’ disillusion comes on top of some disenchantment during Obama’s first term. Sluggish economy growth and the unpopularity of Obamacare contributed to that. It’s been little noticed, but Obama got 3.6 million fewer
votes in 2012 than he did in 2008. In contrast, George W. Bush was re-elected with 11.6 million more votes than he won four years before. Obama’s job approval now is just about identical to Bush’s at this point in his second term. It may not fall as far as Bush’s did. But the numbers and the news don’t suggest that Democrats will flock enthusiastically to the polls in 2014 and 2016. At the same time, it’s not apparent that Republican voters are taking heart from these developments. Their party seems divided even more than is usual for a party that’s been out of the White House for five years. Republicans are split on immigration, with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida rallying the Senate Gang of Eight bill and other Republicans denouncing it as amnesty. They’re divided on the farm/ food stamps bill. They’re divided especially on foreign policy. Sen. John McCain of Arizona and others labeled as neoconservatives have long called for military aid for the Syrian rebels. They’ve defended the administration’s surveillance programs. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has been shrewdly seeking attention, takes an opposite view. He’s against involvement in the Middle
East and decries the use of drones and data mining. The GOP had a weak field of presidential candidates in 2012, and the strongest of them, Mitt Romney, won only 1 million more votes than McCain had in 2008. The party seems likely to have a much stronger field in 2016 -- and one with a wide range of positions and platforms. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin has put forward fiscal plans that have been backed by almost all House Republicans. But there could still be wide disagreement on economic issues in the primaries. There could be disagreement on health care, as well. No one is sure how the rollout of Obamacare will go. Republican politicians are united in opposing Obamacare. They are, unsurprisingly, not united on how to respond to a rollout that hasn’t happened yet. Often one of the two major parties is in disarray. Today, unusually, both of them are.

Sharing random thoughts on the passing scene Edmund Burke said, “There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men.” Evil men do not always snarl. Some smile charmingly. Those are the most dangerous. If you don’t think the mainstream media slants the news, keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding. The latter news would not fit the “global warming” scenario that so many in the media are promoting. Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obama’s “impeachment insurance.” Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obama’s policies do not want anything to cut short his presidency, with Joe Biden as his successor. People who refuse to accept unpleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them. What other kind of candidates would such people elect? Given the shortage of

articulate Republican leaders, it will be a real loss if Senator Marco Rubio disThomas credits himSowell self, early in his career, Columnist by supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform that amounts to just another amnesty, with false promises to secure the border. Ever since I learned, as a teenager, that the “Saturday Evening Post” magazine was actually published on Wednesday mornings, I have been very skeptical about words. “Gun control” laws do not control guns, “rent control” laws do not control rent and government “stimulus” spending does not stimulate the economy. It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama. But they are soul mates when it comes to thinking that they ought
to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizens’ hands, and impose the government’s decisions on them. President Obama’s denial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Innocent-Bystanderin-Chief. When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants was a “civil right” and a “human right,” that epitomized the contempt for the public’s intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama administration. Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama, it is hard to think of a president whose policies were more predictable from his history, however radically different those policies are from his rhetoric. Have you heard any gun control advocate even try to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates?

Does anyone seriously believe that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against owning guns or large capacity magazines? I may be among the few people who want Attorney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections. Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration. He is essentially Barack Obama without the charm, so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption. Despite political differences, it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Carney, for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face. What is he going to do when this administration is over? Wear a disguise, change his name or be put into a witness protection program?

Deen re-scheduled for ‘Today’ show NEW YORK — Paula Deen will appear on NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday, according to host Matt Lauer. Lauer’s announcement came Monday, three days after the celebrity cook abruptly canceled on the morning show, where she was scheduled to answer questions about her past use of racial slurs. Lauer said Deen “told us she will be here this time.” While questioned last month in a discrimination lawsuit, the 66-year-old Food Network star admitted to using the N-word in the past, but she insisted she and her family do not tolerate prejudice. Deen issued videotaped apologies Friday afternoon seeking forgiveness from fans and critics. But hours later, the Food Network announced it wouldn’t renew her contract when it ends this month.
Pelosi’s defense of NSA draws boos SAN JOSE, Calif. — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has disappointed some of her liberal base with her defense of the Obama administration’s classified surveillance of U.S. residents’ phone and Internet records. Some of the activists attending the annual Netroots Nation political conference Saturday booed and interrupted the San Francisco Democrat when she commented on the surveillance programs carried out by the National Security Agency and revealed by a former contractor, Edward Snowden, The San Jose Mercury News reports. The boos came when Pelosi said that Snowden had violated the law and that the government needed to strike a balance between security and privacy. As she was attempting to argue that Obama’s approach to citizen surveillance was an improvement over the policies under President George W. Bush, an activist, identified by the Mercury News as Mac Perkel of Gilroy, stood up and tried loudly to question her, prompting security guards to escort him out of the convention hall. “Leave him alone!” audience members shouted. Others yelled “Secrets and lies!,” ‘‘No secret courts!” and “Protect the First Amendment!,” according to the Mercury News. Perkel told the newspaper that he thinks Pelosi does not fully understand what the NSA is up to. Several others in the audience walked out in support of Perkel. “We’re listening to our progressive leaders who are supposed to be on our side of the team saying it’s OK for us to get targeted” for online surveillance, said Jana Thrift of Eugene, Ore. “It’s crazy. I don’t know who Nancy Pelosi really is.” Her remarks criticizing the Republican majority in the House and encouraging powerful women brought applause, cheers and laughs.
Police search again near Hernandez home NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. — Police are again searching the area near the home of New England Patriots
tight end Aaron Hernandez, a week after his friend’s body was found about a mile away. Some law enforcement officers wore wetsuits Monday while searching near both Hernandez’s home and the industrial park where Odin Lloyd’s body was found. Lloyd was a 27-year-old semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits who was found slain June 17. His family says he was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. They say the two men were friends and were out together on the last night of Lloyd’s life.
Wing walker, pilot had clean records CINCINNATI — An aerobatic pilot and a wing walker killed in a fiery crash at an Ohio air show over the weekend had clean safety records, according to Federal Aviation Administration records released Monday. Neither wing walker Jane Wicker, who had a pilot’s license, nor pilot Charlie Schwenker had accidents in the past or were disciplined for any reason, the FAA records showed, according to agency spokesman Roland Herwig. The information was released as the result of a public records request by The Associated Press. Wicker and Schwenker, both of Virginia, were killed Saturday in a crash captured on video and witnessed by thousands of horrified spectators at the Vectren Air Show near Dayton. Wicker was on the wing of the plane when it suddenly went down after a stunt, exploding on impact. Wicker, 44, was the mother of two teenage sons and was engaged to be married next year atop an airplane. Schwenker, 64, was about to celebrate his nine-year wedding anniversary, which is Tuesday. Friends and family were working on planning funerals for both. Wicker is the third wing walker to die in two years. John Cudahy, president of the Leesburg, Va.-based International Council of Air Shows, said it was too early to say whether Saturday’s crash would lead to any changes in safety standards among wing walkers and their pilots and that those standards already are high. Jason Aguilera, the National Transportation Safety Board investigator leading the probe into the crash, said Sunday that it was too early to rule anything out and that the agency would issue its findings in six months to a year.
Texas lawmakers debate abortion AUSTIN, Texas — Republicans armed with Bible verses and Democrats carrying coat hangers are debating some of the strictest abortion regulations in the country as time runs out on the Texas special legislative session. Democrats were supported by hundreds of women’s rights demonstrators in audience as they tried to stall the legislation early Monday morning. The measure would ban abortions after 20th week of pregnancy, require doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and limit abortions to surgical centers. Supporters say the bill will raise the standard of women’s
health care, but opponents point out the bill would shut down 37 of 42 abortion clinics in the state. If the House can delay long enough, Senate Democrats can stage a filibuster until the session ends at midnight Tuesday.
Astronauts take spacewalk CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two space station astronauts took care of a little outside maintenance Monday. Russian flight engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin replaced a main valve on the International Space Station, after emerging from their 250-mile-high home. “To save the time, I’m embroidering,” one of the spacewalkers said in Russian, holding a clump of cord as he worked on the fluid valve. “It’s not easy to handle all these ropes.” Later, he added, “OK, now we’re doing bead work.” Also on the spacewalkers’ to-do list: installing clamps and retrieving science experiments. Some of the work will pave the way for the arrival of a new Russian compartment at the end of this year. The year’s third spacewalk was under the direction of Russian Mission Control outside Moscow. The four other space station residents monitored the action from inside. Yurchikhin arrived at the space station just a few weeks ago. Misurkin has been on board since March.
Dissension, fiscal woe beset the Girl Scouts NEW YORK — Given the friction and financial woes facing the Girl Scouts these days, perhaps it’s time for a giant friendship circle. Under that long-standing tradition, a ring of Scouts clasp hands and give a little squeeze, accompanied by a silent wish of good will. A year after its centennial, the Girl Scouts of the USA finds itself in a different sort of squeeze. Its interconnected problems include declining membership and revenues, a dearth of volunteers, rifts between leadership and grassroots members, a pension plan with a $347 million deficit, and an uproar over efforts by many local councils to sell venerable summer camps. The tangle of difficulties has prompted one congressman to request an inquiry by the House Ways and Means Committee into the pension liabilities and the sale of camps. Compounding the problems are tensions at GSUSA headquarters in New York, where several senior executives have quit or been ousted since Anna Maria Chavez took over as CEO in 2011. Last week, some of the roughly 325 employees there were invited to take early retirement. Chavez said layoffs were expected in August. Chavez insists the GSUSA is on the right track, although she acknowledged that sweeping changes in structure and programs over the past 10 years have been difficult for many in the Scouts’ extended family. There’s a common denominator between the GSUSA leaders and their critics — earnest expressions of devotion to the Girl Scouts and fervent hopes that it manages to thrive.

JACKSON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the post-conviction appeal of a Greenville man convicted of killing his ex-wife in 2005. Forrest Thomas III pleaded guilty to manslaughter and kidnapping in 2007 in Washington County. Prosecutors say Kimberly Norton of Greenville was shot to death on June 7, 2005, at her home. Her body was found three days later off a county road. The kidnapping charge stemmed from Thomas taking his children from his ex-wife’s home. In his post-conviction appeal, Thomas said his attorney should have done a better job in advising him about a guilty

Survey: Mississippi ranks 49th in child well-being Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi is 49th overall for the well-being of children, according to a new national survey released Monday. The Anne E. Casey Foundation has done its Kids Count survey 24 years, and this is the first time Mississippi has not ranked 50th. New Mexico is in that spot now. The survey says Mississippi ranks 48th in education and health, showing improvements in both areas. The state ranked 50th in economic well-being and family and community issues. “While the health and education indicators have improved somewhat, keeping Mississippi out of its perennial 50th spot, the high percentage of children living in poverty coupled with children living in households whose parents lack secure employment continue to be of concern,” Linda Southward, the Kids Count
director for Mississippi, said in a news release. Southward is a professor at Mississippi State University’s Social Science Research Center. “Improving quality early care and learning environments and having families with secure employment are two of the critical factors in advancing the overall well-being of Mississippi’s children and youth,” she said. The survey showed that: ■ In the category of education, 36 percent of Mississippi high school students were not graduating on time in 20092010, compared with 22 percent in the nation. In 2011, 78 percent of Mississippi fourth graders were not proficient in reading, compared to 68 percent nationally; and 81 percent of Mississippi eighth graders were not proficient in math, compared to 66 percent nationally.
■ In the category of health, 12.1 percent of Mississippi babies born in 2010 had low birth weight, while the national rate was 8.1 percent. In 2011, 7 percent of Mississippi children were uninsured, compared to the national rate of 8 percent. ■ In the category of economic well-being, 32 percent of Mississippi children lived in poverty in 2011, compared to 23 percent nationally. In Mississippi, 38 percent of children had parents who lacked secure employment in 2011, compared to 32 percent nationally. ■ In the category of family and community issues, 47 percent of Mississippi children were living in a single-parent family in 2011, compared to 35 percent nationally. From 2007 to 2011, 24 percent of Mississippi children were living in high-poverty areas, compared to 12 percent nationally.

Marion authorities investigating death COLUMBIA — The Marion County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the death of man whose body was found in a wooded area. The Hattiesburg American reports sheriff’s deputies responded to a call of a missing person about 2:48 a.m. Sunday, and later discovered the body of 21-year-old Patrick Davis of the East Columbia community. The cause of death has not been determined pending an autopsy. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, MBI Crime Scene Unit and the Marion County Narcotics Task Force assisted with the investigation.
Company ready to run school NATCHEZ — A Chicago-based company is finalizing its plans to operate the Central Alternative School with hopes of decreasing dropout rates, increasing graduation rates and saving the Natchez-Adams School District money. The Natchez Democrat reports the district approved a contract in late May to outsource the operation of the school to Ombudsman Educational Services. The company will operate its program within the school — hiring its
own faculty and staff and providing all technological and learning materials. The contract will save approximately $150,000 with the district not having to staff or operate the facility.

Allen began his law enforcement career in 1993 as a patrol deputy under Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Ariz. He joined the Waveland Police Department in 1997 and worked his way up from a patrol officer to sergeant.
Repairs to pier damaged in fire begin PASCAGOULA — Work has started on repairs to a damaged part of the Pascagoula River Park pier that was burned in 2011. Arson was suspected to be the cause of the fire; however, no arrests have been made. Darci Crew, director of the Pascagoula Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment, tells The Mississippi Press that the work should be completed on or before Sept. 12. The repairs are costing about $107,733. It could be more if pilings on the pier need replacing. The repairs are part of a project funded by a Hurricane Katrina-related Community Development Block Grant. The second phase will be done on the east side of Lowery Island.

The ordinance will take effect in about 30 days. It would take four to six weeks before a liquor permit would be issued. There are permits for restaurants, package stores, wholesale businesses, catering businesses, temporary businesses and private clubs.

Summertime sleep Research park road opens at MSU tips help children Special to the Daily Corinthian
Special to the Daily Corinthian
With summer officially here, there are now a few more factors that can make getting restful sleep for your child more challenging. Luanne Bruneau, M.Sc, Certified Child Sleep Consultant by The Family Sleep Institute and Founder of Baby Sleep Right, gives child sleep tips to beat the summer heat and get a restful night’s sleep.
Block out the light Probably one of the biggest challenges with the summer weather is the longer days. We have light earlier in the morning and later in the day, which may seem to encourage your early riser or bedtime battler. Sunlight is a key factor regulating our sleep cycles. Longer exposure will interfere with melatonin production, which would normally have an effect to make you feel drowsy. ■ Keep your child’s room as dark as possible. ■ Use black out shades — or if that’s not in the budget, use dark colored bed sheets thrown over your curtain rod or even garbage bags taped to the window. ■ If you’re traveling, bring the garbage bags and some tape with you to ensure you can keep your motel room as dark as possible if black out shades aren’t available in your room.
Keep cool Just like when your child has a fever, when the temperature of the room is too hot they’ll be uncomfortable enough to wake up. Excessive heat and humidity can disrupt sleep. Health Canada recommends room temperature to be between 64-72F. Unless you have air conditioning, this temperature may not be possible to achieve in some areas. ■ If you have air conditioning — set your temperature to be between 64-72F with a humidity of about 50-65 percent. ■ If you don’t have air conditioning, use a fan to keep the air moving and create convection heat loss. ■ Dress appropriately and limit bedding — heat is lost through the head, hands and feet, so keep them uncovered. You may decide to skip the pajamas and let your child sleep in a T-shirt and diaper if it is an especially hot night. Don’t worry about drying your child’s hair before going to bed — as the water from your child’s hair evaporates it will create a cooling effect.
Stay Hydrated With all the extra heat
and excitement, your child is likely to be more active during the day and may sweat more than usual. ■ Dehydration interferes with melatonin production, which we know is an important part of inducing healthy sleep. Ensure that he/she is well hydrated during the day and before bed.
White noise Personally I’m a fan of singing birds in the summer, but I’ve chatted with many parents who curse the birds chirping away at that first sign of light, or other noises at different times of the day that make it hard to convince their little one to go or stay asleep. ■ Use a specially designed white noise machine, air purifier, or fan to drown out irregular background noise. Keep it on all night, and you may want to use it during nap time too. ■ With the summer weather on its way, neighbors will want to take advantage of their patios and decks and may be out later than usual, perhaps even talking louder than usual depending on their beverage of choice.
Allergy management With the nice weather, allergies tend to follow. Like spring, the biggest summer allergens are pollen. The most common summer pollen allergies are caused by grasses and weeds. However, dust mites also peak in the summer months. ■ Allergies can cause itchy, watery eyes and stuffy noses making it hard to breathes. If you’re the parent of a child with atopic dermatitis, more common referred to as eczema, allergies can make the itching worse. Itching leads to scratching which may introduce infection. always talk with your doctor and/or pharmacist about using any over the counter or prescription drugs, including oral antihistamines to reduce allergy symptoms and topical creams/ointments to manage eczema/atopic dermatitis. ■ Bathe more frequently — washing will remove pollens from your child’s hair and skin that he/she may have come in contact with during the day. ■ Use an air purifier to prevent allergens from recirculating in your child’s room.

STARKVILLE — A new roadway is now open in the state’s largest research park, and its completion sets the stage for expansion, according to Mississippi State University officials. The new four-lane Technology Blvd. connects with U.S. 182 via Verner Hurt Blvd. just west of the Mississippi Highway Patrol’s Troop G district office, and provides an additional entrance to the Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park near the Veterans Memorial Rose Garden. “We expect to make significant progress on developing Phase II now that the new road is open and water, sewer and electrical infrastructure are in place,” said Marc McGee, the director of the MSU Research and Technology Corporation, who manages the park. Columbus-based Burns Dirt Construction, Inc. was the general contractor for the road’s construction, which was funded by the Mississippi Department of Transportation and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Since opening in 1989,

The Technology Blvd. entrance to the Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park is now open near Mississippi State University’s Veterans Memorial Rose Garden. the park has grown steadily. Its 272 acres are home to 1,500 employees and nine buildings, McGee said. Park tenants include private businesses, spinoff companies, government offices and research centers and institutes. “We are very pleased that the new road is open, and believe that it will be an additional catalyst for
the momentum we have in Cochran Research Park,” said David Shaw, MSU’s vice president for research and economic development. “There is nothing else like the park anywhere in Mississippi, and it is a tremendous economic development asset for our state,” he added. The park is a joint venture between the City
of Starkville, Oktibbeha County and MSU, with the university providing day-to-day management. For additional information, please visit www.cochranresearchpark.com or contact McGee at mmcgee@research.msstate. edu or 662-325-9575. Mississippi State is online at www.msstate. edu.

Nook strategy shift?
Home sales snapshot
Barnes & Noble has invested heavily in its Nook unit amid rising competition from online stores and discounters. But there has been speculation that the company wants to exit the hardware business to develop software and content for other companies’ tablets and smartphones. Investors will be listening for clues about Barnes & Noble's Nook strategy today after the company reports its latest quarterly results.
Economists are anticipating that the sales pace for new homes grew in May from the previous month. A thin supply of previously owned homes for sale and low mortgage rates have helped boost sales for homebuilders this year and allowed them to raise sale prices. Sales of new homes rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 454,000 homes in April. The Commerce Department is expected to report today the sales rate rose to 455,000 last month.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Corinth native Jimbo Mathus will perform at Grahams Corner Store. Look for staff reporter Bobby J. Smith’s story coming up this week.
Fear of losing his beloved pet keeping man awake at night DEAR ABBY: I have written to you before, and your advice served me well. I have another problem now, and I don’t know what to do about it. I am a childless man, but I have owned my dog for 12 years. I work from home and we are together constantly. Honestly, Abby, he is the joy of my life. My problem is I live in constant fear of losing him. I know it will break my heart, and I’m not sure I can deal with it. At night, when I rub his belly at bedtime and see the love in his eyes, I can’t sleep for thinking about the day when he will no longer be with me. I know he’s “just a dog,” but he has been my kid for all this time. Do you have any advice for me? — AFRAID OF THE LOSS DEAR AFRAID: I understand your feelings. I doubt there is any pet owner who hasn’t had one special departed pet who lives on forever in his or her heart. My advice to you is to not spoil one more precious second you have with your dog by worrying about what will eventually happen. You knew going in that your dog would have a certain life span. That’s the “deal” we make when we become animal guardians. When the time comes, talk to your veterinarian about support groups in which you can share your feelings. And don’t be surprised when you find out you are one of many.
D E A R ABBY: I have this co-worker, “Sam,” who is no longer performing 100 percent at work. It started Abigail shortly after he out of Van Buren moved town and he was forced to Dear Abby start commuting. Sam complains a lot about the commute because he doesn’t allow enough time for it and he ends up being late to work. Lately I have noticed that he has also started to slack off on his daily tasks. He’ll sit down, prepare to do something, then get up and disappear for 20 to 25 minutes. He’ll come back for a few minutes, then disappear again. I don’t know where he’s going. All I know is we generally have to pick up the slack. Is this something I should report to my managers? I feel it’s unfair that Sam gets paid for the same amount of time that I do, while I’m doing my work at full capacity and he’s putting in less than half. — FRUSTRATED CO-WORKER IN ILLINOIS DEAR FRUSTRATED: If it won’t have a negative impact on your job ratings, you and the others on your shift should stop picking up the slack for Sam. It
will then become apparent to your managers that he’s not doing his share, and he will cook his own goose. DEAR ABBY: When I was 11, I lived with my dad and stepmom. My 14-year-old brother lived with our grandparents in another town, but they would visit every couple of months. After one visit, as they were leaving, my grandmother said, “Come here and give your brother a kiss and tell him you love him.” My brother and I looked at each other and, in typical kid fashion, said, “Yuck!” Abby, I never saw my brother again. He died the next week from a congenital brain aneurism. It taught me a lesson. The words we say to our loved ones should be sweet, because they may be the last words from us they will ever hear. My brother died 55 years ago and I miss him still.— STILL MISSING HIM DEAR STILL MISSING HIM: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. The life lesson you learned from your brother’s untimely death was an important one. I am sorry it is one you had to learn at such a tender age. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to help a friend but are not sure quite how to accomplish this. Start by asking the magic words, “Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?” You’ll be surprised by the answer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You think it’s cute when children have an overblown idea of their current capabilities, but this quality is far less adorable in adults. Work with the straight shooters and those who are inclined to under promise. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In order to stay open to the flood of intuition that could enter your decision making at any moment, agree not to rely solely on the navigation of your mind and logic. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have the opportunity to bring your work to a new crowd or mingle outside of your usual setting. This is not to be missed. Don’t worry about fitting in, it’s better that you don’t. You’ll be a smashing success either way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sense that much is riding on your decisions, and you’re right. So even though it would be easier to act impulsively, you’ll take time to reflect on issues that have far reaching consequences, especially to the people around you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being well informed on a subject can give you are narrower vision of it than someone who knows little. Instead of taking an intellectual approach, invite whimsy and wonder to inform you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When doubt pulls at you like a rip tide, don’t try and struggle against it. Instead agree, “Yes, maybe I won’t be able to do this, but I’m going to try anyway.” It’s the equivalent of swimming parallel to the shore. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People who live carefully considered lives wouldn’t make some of the choices you’ve made, but many of those choices worked out brilliantly in spite of being impulsive or intuitive. Follow your
next instinct. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Waiting for inspiration or motivation will prove to be a waste of time. Move even when you are not motivated, and you’ll get the same good result as if you had moved when you were. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is there something you could do to alleviate the pressure on you lately? For instance, cancel an appointment or sell something that requires more maintenance than it is worth. Simplification leads to happiness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t always make the kind of impression you want to make, but you often make an unintended good impression when you’re not even trying. It all evens out in the end. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be guided by a profound curiosity. To get to know someone, ask vague and open-ended questions. What a person wants to talk about will tell you more than you could learn with specific questions.

County teams open week with wins at NEMCABB Tournament BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
NEW ALBANY — Another week in the NEMCABB tournament marked more wins for the Alcorn County participants. Alcorn Central opened play on the junior high field of the BNA Park complex, defeating the Oxford Chargers 2-1. One field over, the Corinth Warriors defeated South Pontotoc 4-2, for the Alcorn County rivals to advance into Tuesday’s double-header play.
The Aggies of Kossuth dropped their opening game at the park to Lafayette in a 5-0 decision. Quade Reaves gained the win for the Warriors, throwing 10 strikeouts in seven innings. South Pontotoc out-hit the Warriors by a 7-5 ratio, but a 2 RBI single from Austin McClamroch during the second inning gave Corinth a 3-1 advantage. Reaves opened the third inning with a strike, and two back to back singles drove in
South Pontotoc’s Colby Dill for the last run the Cougars would score. Two more strike outs closed the inning as Tanner Maness opened the Warriors turn at bat with a single. Reaves walked to first before two more hits, from Cody Davis and Noah Hill, consecutively loaded the bases and placed Maness at home for the 4-2 advantage. The Cougars attempted to strike once more, a double from Wesley Ross placing a runner in scoring position.
With a fielders choice from Kaleb Morgan, Dill ran for home to be tagged out at home plate by catcher Tyler Mercer. South Pontotoc logged one final hit in the sixth inning before the Corinth defense closed the game with only one runner touching beyond second base - a double from Kolten Ferguson providing the hit. Alcorn Central and Corinth both advance to today’s round Please see TOURNEY | 13A Donica Phifer

FIFA ‘not ashamed’ of Brazil World Cup, no Plan B BY ROB HARRIS Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — With antigovernment protests worrying Brazil, world football’s governing body and the national government sought Monday to highlight the benefits of the World Cup investment, while stressing that the civil unrest during the test event posed no threat to the 2014 tournament going ahead. More than a million Brazilians have taken to the streets during the Confederations Cup to protest about the lack of spending in public services compared with the billions of dollars being spent on the World Cup project. Tear gas and rubber bullets have been fired at some demonstrators, leading to increased security around venues and suggestions that investment in Brazil is being wrongly diverted to fund a football tournament. “We are definitely not under (siege), there is security,” FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke said. The government is projecting that $13.3 billion will be spent on stadiums, airport renovations and other projects for the World Cup, with an estimated $3.5 billion on the 12 venues. At a briefing, Valcke and government officials outlined how the whole of Brazil will benefit from the fact infrastructure is being upgraded to host 32 football teams and thousands of fans next June. “I think there’s a need to express all the good jobs we are doing,” Valcke said. “We are doing plenty of good things. And again, it’s never enough, but I am not ashamed about what we are doing. “We are doing well and we are doing a lot of good things.” While protests have posed the greatest challenge to Confederations Cup organizers, anticipated problems with the six stadiums being used for the eight-team tournament have not materialized. And FIFA is saying publicly that there is no prospect of Brazil being stripped of the hosting rights. “There is no Plan B and, by the way, I have never received any official offer from any other countries around the world to stage the World Cup in 2014,” Valcke said.
Nadal loses in first round at Wimbledon BY STEPHEN WILSON Associated Press
LONDON — For the second straight year, Rafael Nadal is leaving Wimbledon early after a stunning loss to a littleknown player ranked in the hundreds. In one of the tournament’s greatest upsets, an ailing Nadal was knocked out in straight sets Monday by 135th-ranked Steve Darcis of Belgium — the Spaniard’s first loss in the opening round of any Grand Slam event. The free-swinging Darcis defeated the two-time champion 7-6 (4), 7-6 (8), 6-4 on Court 1, ending Nadal’s 22-match winning streak and
eliminating one of the Big Four of men’s tennis on the very first day of the grasscourt Grand Slam. After serving an ace down the middle on match point, Darcis conceded he was as surprised as everyone. “Nobody was expecting me to win,” he said. “So I had to play a good match, relax, and enjoy the game. That’s what I did.” There were no surprises for the other big names: Defending champion Roger Federer, bidding for a record eighth Wimbledon title, and secondseeded Andy Murray both won in straight sets on Centre Court.
Nadal was sidelined for seven months with a left knee injury after losing in the second round of Wimbledon last year. He seemed to be struggling physically Monday. He was unable to turn on the speed or use his legs to spring into his groundstrokes, limping and failing to run for some shots. Nadal declined to blame any injury and gave full credit to the 29-year-old Darcis, who had never beaten a top-5 player before and has yet to go beyond the third round of any Grand Slam. “I don’t ... talk about my knee this afternoon,” Nadal said. “Only thing that can say today is congratulate Steve
Darcis. He played a fantastic match. Everything that I will say today about my knee is an excuse, and I don’t like to put any excuse when I’m losing a match like I lost today.” Darcis, who had won only one previous match at Wimbledon, played the match of his life Monday, going for his shots and moving Nadal from corner to corner. Darcis amassed a total of 53 winners, compared with 32 for Nadal. “Of course, Rafa didn’t play his best tennis,” Darcis said. “I could see it. So I took advantage of it, tried to fight. Maybe he was not in the best shape Please see TENNIS | 13A
Heat celebrate with parade through downtown Miami BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
MIAMI — The last piece of confetti had landed, the Miami Heat championship celebration was officially over and many in the crowd of revelers were starting to make their way to the exits. Players and coaches remained on the stage. They were in no hurry to leave. Every member of the NBA champions stood and watched a giant video board play highlights of Miami’s march through the playoffs, from LeBron James’ MVP-caliber plays on both ends to Ray Allen’s season-saving 3-pointer in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and countless moments in between.
“It’s a special group,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “You know what? This season started over nine months ago with that trip to China and we were able to experience so many cool things together in the regular season. But at times, it just seems to be going by so fast.” So maybe that’s why the Heat aren’t ready to stop celebrating this title just yet. With an estimated 400,000 people lining the downtown Miami streets, the Heat held their parade and an in-arena rally afterward Monday. James stood atop a doubledecker bus with a cigar in his mouth for the parade. Shane Battier blew kisses to the crowd, Dwyane Wade raised
three fingers aloft and Chris Andersen flapped his arms in a nod to his “Birdman” moniker. “It’s the ultimate,” James told Sun Sports, the Heat broadcast partner. “It’s the ultimate. This is what I came down here, to be able to have a parade at the end of the year. I’m extremely blessed, man. It doesn’t get any better than this.” Several players held super-soaker squirt guns and sprayed water on fans, confetti dotted the streets, and horns honked from all directions. Heat managing general partner Micky Arison and team president Pat Riley stood in the front of one bus, while Spoelstra — his championship cap turned backward — waved
and clapped at fans. “Miami parties better than any city in the world,” Spoelstra said. “But it took nine months, nine months of incredible sacrifice, not only by these men right here but everybody in our organization, grinding it out every single day, ups and downs, highs and lows. And to have a culmination like Game 7 in front of all of you here is incredible.” Wade said that without the fans, Miami wouldn’t have found a way to win the title. “It’s humbling. It’s very humbling to be here,” Wade said, gazing out at the enormous crowd. “I envision a lot of things. I can’t say I enviPlease see PARADE | 13A

ever. Maybe he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play his best match. But I have to be proud of me, I think.â&#x20AC;? Darcis said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether Nadal was injured, or was just troubled by the grass conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not the day to talk about these kind of things,â&#x20AC;? Nadal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am confident that I will have a good recovery and be ready for the next tournaments.â&#x20AC;? Darcis finished the match in style, serving his 13th ace as Nadal failed to chase the ball. Darcis is the lowest ranked player to beat Nadal at any tournament since Joachim Johansson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ranked No. 690 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; defeated the Spaniard in 2006 in Stockholm. Gustavo Kuerten, in 1997, was the last reigning French Open champion to lose in the first round at Wimbledon. Nadal was coming off his eighth championship at the French Open this month. But on this day he never looked like the player who has won 12 Grand Slam titles and established himself as one of the greatest players of his generation. Last year, Nadal was ousted in the second round by 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol, a match that finished under the closed roof of Centre Court. After that loss, Nadal took the rest of the year off to recover from the knee problem, missing the U.S. Open and Australian Open. Since returning to action this year, he had made it to the finals of all nine tournaments he entered, winning seven. After winning the French Open, Nadal pulled out of a grass-court tuneup in Halle, Germany. He came to Wimbledon without any serious grasscourt preparation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opponent played well,â&#x20AC;? Nadal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had my chances. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it. So in grass (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) difficult to adapt yourself, to adapt your game. When you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the chance to play before, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that chance this year, is tougher. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find my rhythm.â&#x20AC;? Ten years after his first Wimbledon championship, Federer opened play on Centre Court as defending champion and looked right as home as he dismantled Victor Hanescu of Romania 6-3, 6-2, 6-0. This was a grass-court clinic lasting 68 minutes. Federer had 32 winners, seven aces and just six unforced errors. He won 90 percent of the points when he put his first serve in. When his serve is clicking, Federer usually is unbeatable. On this day, he won his first 15 service points and 24 out of the first 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to get out of there early and quickly,â&#x20AC;? Federer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it was a perfect day.â&#x20AC;? Last year, Federer equaled Pete Sampras and William Renshaw with seven Wimbledon titles. He is now contending to become the first man to win the tournament eight times, which would bring his total of Grand Slam titles to 18. Federer came out wearing a white collared jacket with orange trim, then quickly got down to business. He never faced a break point and broke six times. Federer has a habit of making things look easy. And so it was in the opening game when, stranded at the net, he reached behind him for a reflex forehand volley that landed in for a winner. In the third set, Federer lifted a perfect backhand lob over the 6-foot-6 Hanescu for a break and a 5-0 lead.

Wallenda walks tightrope high over Arizona gorge Associated Press
LITTLE COLORADO RIVER GORGE, Ariz. — Nik Wallenda studied the plunging walls of the Little Colorado River Gorge before stepping out on a quarter-mile tightrope cable. “Whoo! That’s an amazing view.” With that observation, the well-known aerialist embarked Sunday afternoon on a walk without a safety net or harness, 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona. The successful, 22-minute walk on the 2-inchthick steel cable was monitored by people around the world via television and computer screens during a broadcast of Wallenda’s most ambitious stunt yet. They watched as the winds tested the Florida daredevil, and listened as he called on God to calm
“It was unbelievable. It was everything I wanted it to be. It was extremely emotional. I got to the other end and started crying.” Nik Wallenda On his tightrope walk 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River Gorge the swaying cable and as he paid homage to his famed great-grandfather. The stunt was the leading trending topic on Twitter on Sunday afternoon. “It was unbelievable,” he told reporters later. “It was everything I wanted it to be. It was extremely emotional. I got to the other end and started crying.” Hundreds of people watched from the remote site on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona
that led them past roadside vendors selling traditional jewelry and about a dozen protesters who consider the area sacred. During his walk above the dry river bed near the Grand Canyon, Wallenda paused and crouched twice as winds whipped around him and the rope swayed. Gusts had been expected to be around 30 mph. He said they sent dust flying into his eyes. “It was strenuous the whole way across. It was
a battle. The winds were strong, they were gusty,” he told reporters. “But there was never a point where I thought, ‘oh my gosh, I’m going to fall.’” Wallenda stepped slowly and steady throughout, murmuring prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. He jogged and hopped the last few steps. “Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God,” he said about 13 minutes into the walk. The Discovery Channel broadcast the event live. He wore a microphone and two cameras, one that looked down on the river bed and one that faced straight ahead. The 34-year-old Sarasota, Fla., resident is a seventh-generation highwire artist and is part of the famous “Flying Wallendas” circus family — a
clan that is no stranger to death-defying feats. His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died at the age of 73. Several other family members, including a cousin and an uncle, have perished while performing wire walking stunts. Nik Wallenda grew up performing with his family and dreamed of crossing the Grand Canyon since he was a teenager. Sunday’s stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record. About 600 spectators watching on a large video screen on site cheered him on as he walked toward them. A Navajo Nation ranger, a paramedic and two members of a film crew were stationed on the canyon floor. The ranger, Elmer Phil-
lips, he got a little nervous when Wallenda stopped the first time. “Other than that, a pretty amazing feat,” Phillips said. Discovery’s two-hour broadcast showcased the Navajo landscape that includes Monument Valley, Four Corners, Canyon de Chelly and the tribal capital of Window Rock. Wallenda already is eyeing his next stunt, which he hopes will take him between the Chrysler and Empire State buildings in New York. As a nod to his Internet audience, he said he also would ask his Facebook and Twitter followers what the next challenge should be But he said he would give up tightrope walking altogether if his wife and children ever asked him. “That’s a serious talk that we’ll have. But absolutely, it weighs on heavy on me,” he said.
Legendary blues singer Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland dies in Memphis Associated Press
GRENADA — Bobby “Blue” Bland, a distinguished singer who blended Southern blues and soul in songs such as “Turn on Your Love Light” and “Further On Up the Road,” died Sunday. He was 83. Rodd Bland said his father died due to complications from an ongoing illness at his Memphis, Tenn., home. He was surrounded by relatives. Bland was known as the “the Sinatra of the blues” and was heavily influenced by Nat King Cole, often recording with lavish arrangements to accompany his smooth vocals. He even openly imitated Frank Sinatra on the “Two Steps From the Blues” album
“He brought a certain level of class to the blues genre.” Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell Son of musician and producer Willie Mitchell
“He’s always been the type of guy that if he could help you in any way, form or fashion, he would.” Rodd Bland
cover, standing in front of a building with a coat thrown over his shoulder. “He brought a certain level of class to the blues genre,” said Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell, son of legendary musician and producer Willie Mitchell. Bland was a contemporary of B.B. King’s, serving as the blues great’s valet and chauffer at one point, and was one of the last of the living connections to the roots of the genre. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1992 and was an influence on scores of young rock ’n’ rollers. Born in Rosemark, Tenn., he moved to nearby Memphis as a teenager and became a founding member of the Beale Streeters, a group that also included King and Johnny Ace. Upon his induction, the Rock Hall of Fame noted Bland was “second in stature only to B.B. King as a product of Memphis’ Beale Street blues scene.”
Son
After a stint in the Army, he recorded with producer Sam Phillips, who helped launch the careers of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, in the early 1950s with little to show for it. It wasn’t until later that decade Bland began to find success. He scored his first No. 1 on the R&B charts with “Further On Up the Road” in 1957 and it was around this time he
got his nickname, taken from his song “Little Boy Blue” because his repertoire focused so closely on lovelorn subject matter. Beginning with “I’ll Take Care of You” in early 1960, Bland released a dozen R&B hits in a row. That string included “Turn On Your Love Light” in 1961. Some of his best-known songs included “Call on Me” and “That’s the Way Love Is,” both released in
1963, and “Ain’t Nothing You Can Do” in 1964. “Lead Me On,” another well-known song, breaks the listener’s heart with the opening lines: “You know how it feels, you understand/What it is to be a stranger, in this unfriendly land.” Bland wasn’t as well known as some of his contemporaries, but was no less an influential figure for early rock ’n’ roll stars. Many of his songs, especially “Further On Up the Road” and “I Pity the Fool,” were recorded by young rockers, including David Bowie and Eric Clapton. “He’s always been the type of guy that if he could help you in any way, form or fashion, he would,” Rodd Bland said.

Jerry’s Transmissions For more than 35 years, Fowler’s has been the name to know BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Jerry Fowler looks forward to coming to work every Monday. Fowler, who turns 69 on July 4th, has been in business close to 50 years. He isn’t ready to slow down just yet. “I still enjoy what I do,” said the owner of Jerry’s Transmission Service, Inc. “Business is lot like life. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” Fowler started out in the auto parts business in 1965 before making the switch to building transmissions in 1978. “I wanted a change and it felt like a good time,” he said. For 35 years, Fowler has been the name to know when it comes to transmission problems. Over the period, he has been joined by son-inlaw Mike Armstrong and grandson Cade Armstrong in the family business that employs seven, counting Fowler and wife, Janis. “We do things the old fashioned way here,” said Janis, who serves as the company bookkeeper as well as errand runner. “We build each transmission like it is going in our own vehicle.” Janis should know since she even built some transmissions in the early days. “I will never forget the day Jerry called me over here to wash some parts,” she recalled. “I had the dirtiest job and wanted to move up … I wanted to build them even though the pay wasn’t any different.” Janis holds a distinction over the rest of the workers at the shop. “Everyone went to school to learn how to build a transmission except me,” she said with a smile. Once Jerry decided he was making the move to the transmission side, he enrolled in a class at Northeast Mississippi Junior College in 1978. For two nights a week over 18 weeks, the owner made the trek to Booneville. “Sometimes it was only me and teacher there,” he said, smiling. The couple, who will be married 50 years next year, built the shop in 1978. Currently, the 50x100 building has seven lifts inside. “I can remember when this place had only two lifts,” said Charles Hamm, who will be with Jerry’s Transmission Service 34 years in November. “I have seen a lot come and go, both people and transmissions, since that time.” Employee stability is one thing that sets Fowler’s apart from others. “We have over 125 years of experience,” said the owner. “We have a fine bunch of people and all of them are Christians,” added Janis. Besides Hamm, transmission builder Brian Hudson has been with Fowler 25 years. Mike, a technician and builder, has been there just over 25 years while Anthony Bain has been on site since 2002. Cade joined the team last year after graduating from Kossuth High School. Jerry and Janis’ two daughters, Cindy Mills and Tina Armstrong, have even helped out over the years. “We are just like a big family,” said Janis. Things have changed through the years in the transmission business,

Mike Armstrong (right) and his son Cade are part of the family business at Jerry’s Transmission Service. Jerry Fowler is the name to know when it comes to transmission problems. according to Jerry. “We use to do over a 100 a month, but now they are so complicated … so many electronics involved today,” said Jerry. “Every one of them has a failure point. If it didn’t have a weak place, we
wouldn’t have a job, but we build them to be better than new.” An employee scans the vehicle when it is brought to Jerry’s. “That’s the first process,” said the longtime transmission builder.
“Sometimes the problem isn’t even the transmission.” Most people associate Jerry Fowler with transmissions. His employees think of a good man to work for when they hear the name.
“Jerry is a man of his word,” said Hamm. “He is a very honest guy,” added Mike Armstrong. “Jerry had a vision after growing up the hard way … not just anyone can take a business and turn it into something like he has.”
The business has been “a blast”, according to its owner. “One of life’s greatest teachers is failure,” said Jerry. “Everything you do doesn’t always turn out like you want it, but it’s how you deal with it that matters.”

Cemetery with area’s early settlers gets marker BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com
THRASHER — A historical marker was recently unveiled for the Campground Cemetery in Prentiss County, the final resting place for some of the early settlers of Prentiss and Alcorn counties. A little rain did not dampen the excitement for the crowd gathered to witness the dedication and historical marker unveiling at the Campground Cemetery on Friday afternoon, May 10. It was a much anticipated day for the Prentiss County Genealogical & Historical Society and those who worked to seek approval from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History for the Historical Marker for the cemetery located off County Road 1021 in the Thrasher community. Diane Garvin, president of the Prentiss County Genealogical & Historical Society, expressed thanks to all those involved in the work, including Mrs. Dot Weathersby and Mrs. Doris Thomas who began the project years ago; and to the families of Eugene Gifford, Glenn Williams and Marie Parker and others whose concern for the cemetery’s preservation propelled the local historical society to take on the project. Garvin also commended Prentiss County First District Supervisor James Ray Plaxico and his crew for their work in the cemetery and making the road to the cemetery passable. The designation as a Mississippi Historical Site was a crucial step in ensuring the protection and maintenance of the historic cemetery. She noted she had been told it was almost next to impossible to get a cemetery declared one of Mississippi’s historical sites. The historic value of the cemetery is immeasurable as it is the final resting place of many of the early settlers who played important roles in the development of old Tishomingo County, now home to modern day Prentiss and Alcorn Counties and the towns of Rienzi and Booneville. One of the earliest markers that can be read is some 190 years old, dating back to 1823 marking the grave of 5-year-old Joseph Edwin Bryant. As one of the oldest cemeteries in Prentiss County, the Campground Cemetery has both blacks and whites buried there. The Boone family, for whom the nearby town of Booneville is named, is represented in the cemetery. Located in such a rural setting, about .4 mile

off County Road 1021, the cemetery could have become virtually lost if not for maintenance performed over the years by Glenn Williams and members of his family and Eugene Gifford, an adjacent landowner. Gloria Smith, vice president of the Prentiss County Genealogical & Historical Society, gave a devotion during the ceremony, calling attention to not only the Campground Cemetery, but other cemeteries off the beaten path. “Practically invisible to the world outside, basically unseen by those who hurry by on their way to somewhere else, and unknown except for those who seek to find them; these are our cemeteries, the grave sites of our ancestors, our loved ones ... harboring treasures of history scattered across our county, our community,” she said. The gravestones may be the only tangible links to lives
lived once upon a time. The ceremony marked a celebration to honor “the people in this place,” she said. “We know that nothing is ended until it is forgotten. That which is held in our memories still endures.” Booneville attorney Eugene Gifford, one of the community speakers during the ceremony, said other things he would like to see done are repairs made to broken headstones and a fence installed around the cemetery. Thrasher School gifted class students, Baileigh
Morelock, Ethan Cummings, Zachary Spencer, Albanie Windham, Corvallis Evans and Montgomery Tittle, led by Denice Downs and Sharon Gifford Cheek, presented a tribute program representing six people buried in the cemetery — Drucilla Morris, Francis Marion Boone, Rev. Reuben Ellis, Elizabeth “Bettie” Smith Whiteside, Andrew Glenn Williams and Gladys Parker Callaway. Poems were read by two students, Amyia White and Elisa-Claire Young. Guest speaker was Major General Leon Col-
lins, Adjutant General of the Mississippi National Guard, who has relatives buried in the Campground Cemetery. Collins told the students the things they do for others will not be forgotten. The students not only sought out history about the cemetery but worked to help clean it up. Collins said the students will never forget how they came to the Campground Cemetery and worked to make it beautiful again and that they had given a gift by honoring the lives of those buried in the
cemetery. Student greeters were Alex Crowson, Caleb Thorson and Taylor Fryar. Thrasher senior Anna Bray sang the national anthem. Gifted Students/ Boy Scouts Gabe Hall and Justin McCoy led the pledge of allegiance. At the close of the ceremony, Mitch Moore played “Taps” on the trumpet. The historical marker, located on County Road 1021 where the road turns to the cemetery across from house #247, was then unveiled. The marker reads: “Campground Cemetery — This site was first established in the early 1800s as a Methodist revival meeting campground. Although a sanctuary was never built, services were held under a large brush arbor. The last meeting was held here during the early 1880s. Established in 1823 with the burial of Joseph Bryant, the cemetery also contains the graves of several Tishomingo and Prentiss County pioneers, elected officials, and veterans from the War of 1812, First Seminole Indian War, Civil War, World War I, and World War II.” Those attending were given a poem (author unknown) titled “Dear Ancestor.” The poem in part reads: “Your tombstone stands among the rest, neglected and alone ... I wonder if you knew that someday I would find this spot and come to visit you.”

State honors Rienzi for having good tasting water BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com
RIENZI — The Town of Rienzi is proud of its water. It’s no wonder since the town was awarded second place in the State of Mississippi water tasting contest. The award was presented to Rienzi’s water operator Chad Potts by Kirby Mayfield of the Mississippi Rural Water Association during the 2013 Annual Management and Technical Conference and Exhibition held at the Trade Mart in Jackson March 25-28. Potts, a Class C certified water operator, has been working for the town 41⁄2 years. It’s not the first award the town has received in the water tasting contest. In 2010 Rienzi garnered a third place, the first year Potts was working. Entries in the contest increase every year with about 20 entrants this year, Potts said. “I am thrilled to death about our water system,” said Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams, noting those awards are great compliments. “I am real proud of Chad and everybody that has been working to make our water better. We have been blessed on our water compared to a lot of people who have trouble with their water. “We hope we can move up to first place. If not, I’ll be well content with number two,” said Mayor Williams. What makes Rienzi’s water taste so good? “The first thing, we’re in the Eutaw Aquifer — that’s the source where we get our water,” says Potts. “That, plus we’re a Class D system. All I have to do is add chlorine to meet the health department requirements and omni-phos to help clear up its color and make it more presentable. “Being in that aquifer is a big plus ... it means real good water. I don’t have to do much to clean it up. And the less you have to
do to it, the better the water is going to be.” Another factor the town has going for it is the water system being taken care of in a good manner for the past 40 years by the late James Reed, said Potts. The water must be tested once a month. Potts pulls a water sample and delivers it to the Prentiss County Health Department and from there it is taken to the State Health Department in Jackson for testing. Rienzi has about 340 water customers who also play a vital role. “The customers are pretty quick to call if something is wrong with the water so we can go out and clean it up ... and good flushing on the end of the line helps,” he said. The town has two wells and one stand (water tank). A focal point painted on the white water tank is an eagle, the mascot for Rienzi School. Potts has much to do in addition to his water operator duties. “If it’s done in town it pertains to me,” he said. His work includes reading meters, mowing, weedeating, cleaning out culverts and ditches and much more. Helping him is Anthony Patton, an inmate from Alcorn County. “If it wasn’t for Anthony helping me I couldn’t do it all.” He also gives credit to Brandon Burcham of the Big V Water Association in Prentiss County, who trained him in his water operator responsibilities; and is appreciative for the expertise of the “riders” for the north end of the state, Tom Abernethy and Larry Bratton of the Mississippi Rural Water Association for their help. Rienzi Town Clerk Elaine Pitts also helps with the paperwork for the water samples by typing everything neatly instead of it being handwritten. Rienzi recently had its yearly state inspection and passed with flying colors, receiving a 4.3 out of a possible score of 5.

Chad Potts serves as water operator for the Town of Rienzi. He holds awards the town has won in the water tasting contest presented by the Mississippi Rural Water Association. The town recently won a second place trophy at the 2013 conference and received third place in 2010. If the name Potts sounds familiar to many in the area, Chad’s father, the late David Potts, was a former Rienzi mayor, who served as mayor and/or alderman for a total of 24 years. Having grown up in Rienzi, it’s understand-
able Rienzi holds a special place in his heart. He now lives with his family in the nearby Hinkle community of Alcorn County but admits he is partial to the taste of Rienzi’s water. The Town of Sherman has won the water tasting contest for the last two
consecutive years. Potts tasted Sherman’s water himself so he could see how it compared to Rienzi water. “Sherman’s water is like drinking spring wa-
ter. They’ll be hard to beat ... but we’ll try,” he says with a grin. It’s a worthy goal all Rienzians can raise their water glasses and drink to.

Local beekeeper carries on grandfather’s legacy BY CAROL HUMPHREYS chumphreys@ dailycorinthian.com.
Jacky Feazell is doing his part to help area gardens, fruit trees and crops be more productive. At the same time, he adds sweetness to the bounty harvested afterwards. The self-employed mechanical contractor and beekeeper inherited his fascination with bees from his grandfather. “My grandfather always kept bees and I would watch him,” Feazell said. “He had really tame bees and didn’t wear a bee suit, but only a veil. If he got stung by a bee, it wouldn’t bother him that much. That got me interested in beekeeping. Then several years ago, I worked with a good friend who had 20 to 30 hives and I helped him rob his bees and process his honey.” Feazell started his own hives about six years ago and currently has five hives on his Corinth property. According to the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, the beekeeping industry in Mississippi is composed of beekeepers who manage their colonies for honey production, as well as producing queens and package bees. Mississippi ranks 28th in the nation in honey production and produces about 2.25 million pounds of honey each year. Honey bees contribute a value to pollination of fruits, berries, vegetables, sunflowers, cotton, soybeans, peanuts and wild plants in Mississippi. The beehive’s internal structure is a denselypacked group of hexagonal cells made of beeswax. These are called a honeycomb and the bees use the cells to store food and to house the “brood” or eggs. Feazel explained how a bee colony will accept only one queen. A queen produces pheromones that attract a worker court and stimulates comb production. A beehive consists of a queen, female worker bees and drones. Drones are males and the sole purpose for a drone is so it can mate with the queen. The only reason there are drones in the hive is in case something happens to the queen. “The drones do nothing for the hive, but eat,” the avid beekeeper said. “The worker bees are born in the hive and they normally spend the first two or three weeks of their lives on hive maintenance. They clean up the hive, taking out dead corpses and another debris. They spend the rest of their lives foraging. They are the ones who make the honey.” The worker bees only live about 30 days from the time they leave the hive. The drones live through the summer but in the fall the female bees
will run them out the hive. There is no use for them anymore during the winter when the hive is dormant. In the spring, the queen will lay new drone eggs along with worker bee eggs. Walking toward his bee hives, Feazell described how bees propagate, “The bees swarm, which is a natural thing for them to do. In the spring of the year, the nucleus of the hive will get pretty populous which causes them to swarm from the spring into the summer. The hive really grows and there is a lot of drone bees. The hive will only have one queen and she will mate only one time in her lifetime. She’ll live about four or five years. From that mating, she’ll lay up to 500,000 eggs. The hive normally contains 60,000 to 90,000 bees.” The bees from the eggs that have been laid will make themselves a new queen when the current one gets too old. Displaying a queen cell, Feazell described how a regular hive cell will be a cone, there will be an egg, and the bees will cap it off and this makes a bee. To make a queen, the bees take an egg and make royal jelly which they feed to a little grub. This will make a queen who is bigger than the other bees. The young queen and the old queen will fight and the young queen usually wins. He recently ordered a queen and put her in one of the swarms he captured. The “Carolina” queen had been bred and raised by beekeepers for this purpose. The reason he ordered a queen is when he captured a swarm, apparently he didn’t get the queen. She flew away or died. But the bees stayed. The way he knew he didn’t have a queen was when he checked his frames, there wasn’t any eggs there and the bees began to wane off. So he ordered a new queen. The queen comes in the mail in a plastic box. Inside is an envelope marked “Live Queen.” Inside the envelope, the queen is in a little plastic container that looks like a screen and has a candy plug at the end of the container. If a queen is getting old, a lot of time the bees will kill her and raise or accept a new queen. A hybrid queen like the “Carolina” queen can be introduced to them. Different breeds of queens will make different bees, some of which make more honey. An example is the “Italian” queen, considered a good starter queen and known for making more honey than other breeds. To introduce the new queen, the beekeeper opens up the hive and finds the old queen and “sends her on home.”
A bee swarm
Feazell’s ‘honey house’ Jacky Feazell wears his bee suit as he attends his hives. The new queen is then put into the hive in the container with the candy plug. It takes about three days for the bees to eat through the candy plug to get to the queen. By the time they have eaten through the candy plug they have accepted her. “If you just take a live queen and put her into the hive the bees will “ball” the queen,” the experienced beekeeper explained. “They just ball up and kill her because she is strange. That is why you go through the process to introduce the queen to the hive. A pheromone of some kind like honey water can also be sprayed to camouflage the queen’s strange scent so they will accept her.” The range of distance honeybees travel is about five miles. They also have their own built-in direction. Feazel was reminded of this recently. “I made a mistake of moving a bee hive out of the direct sun. It was hot so I moved the hive into the shade. The next day I went outside and there was bees everywhere. I didn’t know what I had done wrong.” He looked for an answer in his books and found out a bee has to know exactly where her hive is. Usually half the hive will overnight somewhere if they get too far out. When a honeybee leaves, no matter where she goes, she comes back to the same spot. If the hive is moved more than two feet she can’t find her hive, so she’ll go back to where her hive was. Feazell said the best time of day to check the bees is mid-morning, because half the hive has gone foraging. He cautioned not to check the bees on a cloudy or cold day because they will be
testy. During certain times of the year, there will be a “honey flow” where the bees are out foraging. Feazell said they will be in a good mood then and he can walk around them. On the days it is a cold or windy day or the barometric pressure is low, they will try to run him off. Starting around 2005, bees began dying in large masses, creating what has been called “colony collapse disorder.” Onethird of all honeybees are now being lost. Feazell thinks cellphone and the radio waves that are in the air may be reasons behind the bee deaths. He added that nobody really knows. Bee researchers have shown bees are sensitive to magnetic fields. When asked about whether pesticides or pests could be behind the bee deaths, he remarked, “Bee hives are sterile and they have what is called a propolis, a gummy substance with which they’ll seal their entire hive up for the health of their bees. If a mouse, for instance, gets into the hive and dies, the bees will completely entombed the mouse in the propolis to keep the hive sterile.” He recently lost three hives due to hive beetles. He then captured three swarms but three days later one swarm left. He thinks this may be because he didn’t get the swarm’s queen or she may have flown away. If he didn’t get the queen, the rest of the bees in the swarm were not staying. He added, “I don’t know why, sometimes bees act strange and just leave. During the winter time, the bees will ball up in the hive, and whether it is cold or hot outside, they will keep the hive at
a constant temperature, a little above 96 degrees. The hive stays at the same temperature year round. The bees go out in front of the hive and make warm or cool air with their wings. The female bee only lives 30 days because she wears her wings out. Feazell told how a bee who knows where a honey source is will come back and communicate this to the other bees. “She does a little dance around the hive,” he chuckled. He explained how he captured a swarm one time and he knew he had the swarm by a bee when she came back to his swarm trap. He watched as another bee came out of a little hole in the trap and she danced her little dance. The same thing happened when another bee came out so he knew she was giving direction to the honey source. He knew by this he had a swarm. He said you can watch the bees actually communicating. This has been proven by bee researchers who have put dots on bees and tracked them. When hearing about his hobby, Feazell said, “Folks, say ‘Oh, my goodness, I couldn’t do that, I’m scared of bees,’ but you are around thousands of them everyday, not even noticing them.” A person can go around the hives and the bees won’t normally bother anyone unless they run into them as they are coming into the hives. “Your have to be comfortable around them. You can’t be skittish around them.” A swarm is captured by putting them into a box, then pouring them out onto a sheet. The bees will then immediately migrate into a hive. If a mass of bees — a swarm — is taken from a tree,
they are shaken until they all fall out into the box. They can then be poured onto a sheet where they will then naturally go into the hive because of the pheromone and the scent. Whether they stay in there depends on where the queen is. If they don’t have a queen, they won’t stay in the hive. Feazell said he has never been afraid of bees. He does, however, wear a bee suit with a veil and gloves for protection. The components that make up his hive are a hive box and different frames the honey goes in. His normal frame is 6-inches for the honeycomb and then he has two brood chambers with nine-inch frames, one for the bees to keep their honey in and a queen excluder where she can’t get through but the honeybees can. A brood chamber is where the queen bee is raised. He puts honey supers on top of the chamber with the queen excluder so the bees can fill it up with honey. “They are natural hoarders. They won’t quit. They will make honey as long as they can,” he said When a super gets full of honey, Feazell lifts it out and processes it. He has a little “honey house” where he processes his honey. He has regular honey like one eats on biscuits, but he also tries to keep comb honey. Comb section honey is considered most prized by many consumers. To process his honey, he puts two frames into a cylinder and creates a centrifugal force to sling the honey out. He uses a hot knife to take the cap off both sides of the honeycomb. He harvests about 70 pints of honey from his hives in the fall. When the spring comes, he cleans his honey house out and starts all over again.

‘The Language of Aprons’ Iuka museum draws interest from around the world BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — Carolyn Terry had no grand opening when she opened a quaint little shop seven years ago on Eastport Street in the small downtown area here. “I was afraid I wouldn’t still be here three months later,” she explained. Today the Apron Museum at Pineslab Shop LLC is home to about 2,500 aprons either on display or to buy, sell or trade. It has gained considerable nationwide and even international attention in what is believed to be the only apron museum in the world. “I never dreamed this would be so popular,” said the 62-year-old Burnsville native. “I just opened the doors to see what would happen.” And happen it did -and still does. “It’s the only Apron Museum in the world, as far as we know,” she said. Although a Mississippi native, Terry’s family moved away when she was in first grade. She grew up in Chicago and has lived in Nebraska, Arkansas, North Dakota and Colorado. She moved to Iuka in 1995 to live in her grandmother’s house. “I’m back under the rainbow,” she said, smiling. The now museum curator is a book collector, which began the roots for collecting aprons. “I am always looking for (collectible) books,” she said. “After the books, I’d always look for aprons.” She had some lifechanging events before she opened the museum. She first inquired about renting the property and then purchased it. She left her job as a legal secretary, thinking she might learn to sew. She also had quilts on her mind -- Iuka is home to a huge quilt show every two years -- then she went to an apron show in Dallas. “The aprons took over,” she said. Although she has a small local following, most of the visitors are from out-of-state. Recent examples include three women from Missouri who had attended an apron show and heard about the museum and a couple from Connecticut traveling to Florida via a boat on nearby Pickwick Lake. People doing research on aprons or related women studies will visit and stay an entire day, noted Terry. “People working on es-

They bought four the day they visited. hows, writing books and research papers come to visit,” she said, as most are graduate students. “And they stay longer than a typical visitor.” International visitors are usually Elvis fans who traveled to the famous singer’s birthplace in Tupelo and want to have another Mississippi experie-
ence. Unfortunately, if there are any Elvis aprons, they have left the building. As each visitor enters the small, shotgun-style attraction, it’s museum to the right and those for purchase to the left. “I buy, sell and trade,” noted Terry. “There are no rules.”
On a recent quiet weekday morning, Linda Bentley of nearby Cherokee, Ala., toured the museum with her visiting 18-yearold granddaughter, Nikki Bentley of Clay City, Ky. “It’s very interesting,” said Nikki, who will be a freshman at the University of Kentucky this fall. “I like the old stuff -- the museum aprons.” Grandmother heard about the museum on the Internet and she came to do some shopping. They browsed for an hour, then purchased four aprons and two vintage tablecloths. “She loves museums,” said Linda about her granddaughter. “And I
Many aprons are food related, including “Chow Time.” like aprons. So it was a good combination.” The Apron Museum currently offers three lines of handcrafted aprons from area designers -- Dora Day of Pontotoc, Diane Deming of Triple D Designs of Pickwick, Tenn., and Charlotte Farrington of Iuka. In a bit of irony, male aprons sell so well, Terry can’t keep them in stock, she said. Female shoppers apparently want aprons for their husbands who aspire to be grill masters and king of the kitchen. Donated aprons keep pouring into the museum by the bagfull. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and themes and each with a story -- some over 100 years old. “Look at this,” said Terry, holding a “France” apron made in 1917 which had arrived via Olympia, Wash. “There’s a story here.” Grown men will leave in tears, noted the apron collector, because they will see an apron “which reminds them of their mother or grandmother.” The donations arrived after national exposure in publications like American Profile magazine and Country Woman magazine. “It’s amazing,” said Terry. Country Woman asked Terry to complete this sentence: “An apron is a symbol of ______.” “It’s not a symbol of
anything,” replied Terry. “It’s an entire language.” Terry gives credit to learning the apron language by reading the 390page thesis by Dr. Avis Carol Smith titled “The Language of Aprons.” “Without reading her research, I would have never learned the language that aprons tell,” noted Terry. As more people speak the language, Terry continues to grow this once crazy idea to open an Apron Museum in a small town in extreme Northeast Mississippi. Terry is now working on an apron book to share all those great stories behind aprons donated to the museum. “There’s just so much to share,” she added, showing scores of typed or handwritten letters from people donating their family treasures from all across the United States. At the Apron Museum, it’s more than just fabric worn around the waist for public view. It’s also about the person behind the apron who unknowingly was cooking up some history and stovetop memories to stand the test of time. (Visit www.apronmuseum.com for more information. Carolyn Terry advises to call or e-mail her before a visit as she isn’t there all day long on most days. She can be reached at apronfriends@yahoo. com or 662-279-2390.) Some aprons are smiling faces, while others promote different states. Half of the museum has aprons for display only, while the other half is the “buy, sell or trade” area.

Polly the bear keeps on creating office smiles Her name is Polly. Although she stands guard at my office desk, fear not. She has a friendly disposition. Her attitude remains sincere. And her daily goal is to make all visitors and co-workers smile. This is her story. Last spring I had a notion, one which ended up going a long way. It was the same feeling when I felt the need to go see my aunt, who was struggling with cancer. She died three days after my visit. I was honored to be a pallbearer at her funeral. It was the same feeling when I had the notion to contact a former newspaper publisher who once employed me. I got word he was in poor health. We had a good chat by phone. He died three days later. This same notion hit me to do something on my bucket list for years — have a photo session with Bill McPeters, a true town character and longtime local funeral director who was still active and nearing his 90th birthday. Another item on the bucket list is a photo show at the artist guild, and Bill would be a welcome addition along side the faces of Sonny Boatman, Tobe Clausel, “The Mississippi Redneck” Robert Voyles, Moon Mullins, Baily Williams, Charles Shipman, Jessica Humphreys, James Aaron Null, Timothy Tyson, Abe (Abe’s Grill) Whitfield, Kenneth Williams, Joel Smith of the band Sweet Tea and the late Garvin Phillips, to name a few. As instructed, Bill dressed in bright colors and met me outside McPeters Funeral Directors on a really hot morning, May 9, 2012. I had to take my photos quickly, least Bill start swearing about the heat of the day. He was decked
Back to School Polly out in a red jacket, straw hat and red snake skin boots. Bill only asked one question. “What’s this for, hon?” he asked. Mark He never Boehler called me by name. Sidetracks It was always hon, I guess short for honey. “It’s for me,” I replied. Bill wanted to make sure I included the large purple stone ring on his finger. I assured him I would. At one point I encouraged him to fire up his stogie and keep puffing away. I was after smoke circles with his bright red sportcoat as the backdrop. “Hon, you must like cigar smoke,” he told me, cursing. A week later, Bill appeared at the newspaper office. He sent word he had something for me. He asked for assistance as his delivery was heavy and in the trunk. I feared a dead body. My special delivery was a three-foot tall, wooden black bear handcrafted by local chainsaw artist Bo Hancock. The art came with a framed poem writ-
Tennessee Volunteer Polly
Holiday Season Polly
ten by Bill. “You’ve always been good to me,” was all Bill said that day. According to the poem, the bear’s name is Polly, “and she don’t want no x$#%!* cracker!” Polly has been standing guard over me ever since. Wind the clock forward, and those gut feelings to have photos of Bill McPeters’ would prove priceless. Bill had a horrible accident and was badly burned. He would never recover from his injuries. He lived to see his 90th birthday, but he was in very ill health. The huge birthday party being planned by friends and family wasn’t held in February. It was held after Mr. Bill’s funeral. About nine months after my photo session, we had to say good-bye to Bill. My unusual gift is one of many stories of what Bill did for people, but what he didn’t know is how much fun Polly has been for me, my family, my newspaper family and
visitors to my office. Our line of work gets sticky at times as we are always under deadline, sometimes the news we have to report isn’t pleasant and we sit at the center of controversy as we try to report various sides to local issues. Ole Polly takes it all in stride. The likeable little bear has become legend status with co-workers making sure she keeps giving smiles. She has made some fashion statements with each holiday, but has helped some people make a few statements. She surprised everyone in her Ole Miss outfit after their football defeat of Mississippi State, something I couldn’t have done because my grandson is a State fan. I’m a Tennessee fan, but it wasn’t me who dressed Polly up in an orange Volunteer cheerleading outfit. Polly sure looked good in it. I can’t take credit.

WELCOME
Polly pays tribute to Mr. Bill. Christmas and Easter celebrations, Back to School Polly or a little devil at Halloween, she changes the season with the same smile. At one point I recall a bare bear between holidays as I pondered the next fashion. “Oh my,” someone said. “Polly is naked!” She’s been wearing something ever since. She is currently wearing a purple Bill McPeters certified hat, purple tie and pink tie belt, an outfit Bill wore not long before the accident. Polly has an arm full of stogies and the newspaper where folks mourned his passing. The tribute will soon
come down and the items returned to his wife Judy, but Polly’s story of what Bill could do to bring smiles to those around him will never be forgotten. Everyone has their favorite Bill story and all are special in their own way. My Bill story isn’t any better than any other. It’s special because it’s mine. Bill would have liked that — and so does Polly. I call her hon. (Mark Boehler served as editor of the Daily Corinthian from 19952008. He returned for a second tour of duty in September 2010.

Corinth: A town where history was made BY CAMILLE BORROUM MITCHELL Guest Columnist
I just wanted to add my two bits about the old buildings downtown after the controversy of the gas station being torn down. People from all over the world come to Corinth to visit our Borroumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store and many other historical sites. Not because we are modern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that can be seen all over the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but because in spite of some, we have been able to save a lot of our historical sites. Urban renewal is an excellent example of â&#x20AC;&#x153;what not to do.â&#x20AC;? We lost so much, such as the magnificent Ruble Building, the hanging jail (unique example of manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inhumanity to man). It had a hanging tower built in it so executions could be carried out quickly. Not so pleasant to some, but interesting to others. People flock to see where history was made and the battlefields where many died. We all have different but similar interests. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the American way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we can have individuality. I can only speak about what I know. Urban renewal destroyed our downtown. There was a time you could have shot a cannon down the streets and you would not hit anyone. We lost the quaint old Waldron Hotel, McAmis Hardware, Byrnes Hardware, The Leader, The Black & White Store, Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost all of our business that were owned by â&#x20AC;&#x153;we the people,â&#x20AC;? and now the Lion Oil building as people call â&#x20AC;&#x153;that old gas station.â&#x20AC;? Some of these buildings have been brought back to life. For instance, Van Hedges and Joe

Not because we are modern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that can be seen all over the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but because in spite of some, we have been able to save a lot of our historical sites. Vann saved the McAmis building. It is now an office building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waitsâ&#x20AC;? was saved by Mrs. Waits and her brother and restored by Sandy and Rosemary Williams. The McAmis Drug Store building was saved by Jimbo Bryant, Charlie Gooch and Mark Gardner and is now Weeden Law Firm. The old James Lindsey building is now being restored by Bob Moore for his new law office. Another restoration contractor, Lex Mitchell, is working on it now. Just look at the buildings. The Leader, Perkins Drug Store building, Drokes Jewelry Store building, Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant, the old Woolworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are now the Littlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office buildings, Cullen Potts Accounting Office and All Fired Up Pottery. On Cruise Street one will see Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewelry Store, Biggers Hardware and Woods Law Office â&#x20AC;&#x201D; formerly Billings Grocery Store. Across from it is Franklin on Cruise and Dr. McQueenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dental Arts building. All the facades have been restored, upper facades not restored, but saved. There are others on Cruise such as Joe McKewen, the law firm of Price & Krohn and Labas & Cooley. We managed to save Borroumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store,
Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the oldest in the USA still family-owned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the same place, same building. This building was once a tannery, the one to the right was a livery stable, and the one to the left was a tin shop. Often a person will see a symbol on the front of columns that depicts what once was there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a horse shoe, tin snipes, hammers and pencils â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the one on the old printery building, soon to become a new restaurant by Russell Smith. On an average day, we will see people from Ireland, Scotland, Amsterdam (Netherlands), France, Germany, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and British Columbia. I could go on and on. They come to see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old,â&#x20AC;? not the new. Our storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time is set in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, a great time for the USA. The war was over, everything was made in the USA and everyone was working. Parents could afford to send their children to college. Most of the people who come to visit our town seem to enjoy reminiscing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual to me they come here from thousands of miles away to see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old.â&#x20AC;? They spend money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; motels, food, gifts, gasoline, medicines. They tell other people about our South-

They come not because we are modern, but because we have been able to blend the old with the new, saving the best of both. Stop and look sometimes when you are driving or walking downtown at the original façades that have been rebuilt or saved. It is rather interesting. Then there is the Slugburger Festival taken from the 20s. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be beat and brings in people from all over to Corinth. They spend money. Betty and Jimmy Hathcock had the idea and we all joined in. lf all of this had not been done, our downtown would not exist. The tourists say they are amazed at how we saved our downtown and it is very vital. We employ a lot of people. We are proud of it. This is my story about the old Lion Oil Company building â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is how I have heard it referred to. I remember as a child, I lived on Jackson Street, seeing Col. Roscoe Turner in full uniform with his lion cub Gilmore there. Lion Oil was his sponsor. Sometimes he would bring a plane and park it out front. If you remember they were small, covered in canvas. Some people said they were put
together with spit and bailing wire. Sometimes the Colonel would pick us kids up and let us sit in the cockpit of the plane for one brief moment. It was a thrill of a lifetime for us. I like flying, it has always fascinated me, and I had a license at the ripe old age of 20 and was a member of The Flying Rebels. Col. Turner was a pioneer in aviation. He is in the Aviation Hall of Fame. These men of that time were smart and daring. Aviation was in its infancy. We tend to forget this as aviation has flown in such leaps and bounds. In less than a century, we have gone from these canvas covered planes to landing on the moon. We think nothing of getting on a jet and flying around the world. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for men like Col. Turner, it would not be possible to do what we do today. It is easy to follow â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is the first step that takes the most courage. Col. Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown was Corinth. Roscoe Turner broke more air records, won more races and made more headlines then anyone else involved in early aviation history. He broke air records seven times and two of these times he broke his own record. The Crossroads Museum has a great space donated
to just his accomplishments. The Lion Oil Station meant more to me because when I thought of it, I remembered him. As a young fellow, he is given credit for driving up our courthouse steps in Norren McCullarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s T model Ford on a dare. Not all approved and how little did they know this daring young man would play such a great part in aviation history. As for the Lion Oil building, it could have been restored to its original condition, but I believe it is moot now. It is possible but not probable. In its hay day, it was a good looking building, it was painted brilliant white with black and reddish orange stripes and a sign depicting a large lion standing up on its back legs appearing to roar. I have thought of an idea (if landowner willing) to paint a large mural on the west wall of the Dollar Store building with a picture of the Colonel and his lion cub when Gilmore was larger, and a scene of one of his planes flying across or whatever the artist to be thought. It would be nice if a hometown artist would offer to paint it for free, sign it and date it. He or she might consider it an honor. I would if I could. My hats off to the Corinth Preservation Commission. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for this dedicated group of volunteers, more history would have been lost. We lost the Corinth Machinery building by being too slow. This was the oldest commercial building in the state. Put a bite in the preservation rules â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no wiggle room! We need to work together for what is best for our town.

Insurers may skip health plans in much of state Associated Press
JACKSON — People in 36 of Mississippi’s 82 counties may not be able to buy health insurance through the new federal online marketplace when it starts enrolling customers in October. Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney says two insurers have announced offerings so far, planning to serve 46 counties. Unless more companies sign up or the existing companies expand their plans, consumers in the remaining counties won’t be able to buy health insurance through the online exchange. Coverage under those policies begins Jan. 1 “I don’t know what to tell you about the other 36 counties,” Chaney told The Associated Press in a phone interview this week. “You’re just out of luck.”
That means they won’t be able to use federal tax credits offered to consumers with incomes of between 133 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level. That’s up to about $46,000 for an individual and about $94,000 for a family of four, with those at the top end getting little or no subsidy. People who don’t buy insurance are required to pay a $95-a-year penalty starting in 2014. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Treasury Department couldn’t immediately say Thursday whether people would be penalized in counties without offerings. Residents in the 36 counties will still be able to buy individual policies through the traditional market, as well as rely on insurance provided by employers or government plans such as Medicaid
“I was hoping we would have more than two companies and it did not occur to me that there would be areas that wouldn’t be covered.” Therese Hanna Executive director of the Mississippi Center for Health Policy and Medicare. Under the federal health care law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010, every state is required to have an online marketplace so people can get coverage starting in January 2014, much of it federally subsidized. A 2012 study by the Mississippi Center for Health Policy had projected that as many as 275,000 Mississippians could gain insurance through exchanges, with 230,000 of those benefit-
ting from federal tax credits that could total $900 million a year. The marketplace program is separate from proposals to expand the state-federal Medicaid program to cover people with incomes up to 138 percent of poverty. In February, the federal government rejected Chaney’s effort to create a state-based exchange in Mississippi because of opposition by fellow Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. That means Mississippi’s

market will be run by the federal government. Chaney had contended that a state-run exchange would attract more insurers. “We would definitely have more options and I would have more authority,” he said. Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Magnolia Health Plan will offer coverage in 46 counties. It is a unit of St. Louis-based Centene Corp., and runs a Mississippi Medicaid network with 77,000 enrollees. Humana, based in Louisville, Ky., will offer coverage in four of the 46 counties — DeSoto, Hinds, Rankin and Madison — that will also be included in Magnolia’s plan. Areas that won’t have coverage offered through the online marketplace include swaths of the Delta region and southwest Mississippi, plus scattered areas elsewhere. Among those areas are Corinth, Greenville, Laurel, Natchez and Picayune. Chaney said the department has been told that the state’s two largest private insurers, Flowood-based Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi and UnitedHealth Group of Minnetonka, Minn., would not offer plans on the online marketplace beginning in October. Meredith Virden, a spokeswoman for Blue Cross, declined to confirm the company’s plans or comment. UnitedHealth’s Elizabeth Calzadilla-Fiallo said the company is still looking at options. Dr. Jason Dees, the CEO of Magnolia Health Plan, said the company plans to offer coverage at “a very affordable price” if state and federal authorities approve its rate filing. It would be aimed at people who might have been on the Medicaid plan managed by the company, but get a job and become ineligible for coverage. “Many people who transition off of Medicaid have no coverage at that point,” Dees said. Offerings would mimic Magnolia’s Medicaid plan in terms of allowed drugs and available physicians. Dees said making sure people who lose Medicaid eligibility stay insured
will help them manage chronic conditions. And even for those who might find insurance elsewhere, staying with Magnolia saves the cost of switching drugs and doctors Because Mississippi is a small, poor state whose market is dominated by Blue Cross, it’s not surprising that there isn’t a flood of new entries, said Gary Claxton, a vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation who leads a project studying the health insurance market. Any new insurer would have to try to sign up a network of doctors and hospitals, and could have a hard time negotiating favorable payment rates because it would have few customers at the beginning. “The thing that makes it difficult is getting a network together, because you don’t have market share,” Claxton said. Still, those who follow Mississippi said they were surprised that some areas would be without coverage options on the new online marketplace. “I was not expecting Mississippi to have a wide array of options,” said Therese Hanna, executive director of the Mississippi Center for Health Policy. “I was hoping we would have more than two companies and it did not occur to me that there would be areas that wouldn’t be covered.” Availability could improve in 2015 or 2016. By then, for example multistate plans may be offered in Mississippi. Claxton said the national Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, UnitedHealth and Humana are all expected to offer national plans. Chaney said he believed opposition to health care changes by many Mississippi Republicans, along with the deadlock over renewing or expanding the state-federal Medicaid program was scaring off insurers. Roy Mitchell, executive director of the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program, which has been pushing for expanded coverage, agrees. “We’re in a polarized atmosphere here were our governor denies the Affordable Care Act even exists,” Mitchell said. “Mississippi is just a worst-case scenario in these things.”

After dropping off a prescription, step over a couple of aisles for a dose of calcium, protein and probiotics. Gooseberry Frozen Yogurt may not be the cure, but it does have benefits. Not only a source of calcium and proSue tein, it is Bronson low in cholesterol and Down Home c o n t a i n s five cultural strains, including three probiotics. Did I also mention — it’s delicious and addictive? Gooseberry opened Oct. 8, 2011, the same day as the pharmacy/gift shop on Harper Road in Corinth. According to Manager Nancy Essary, more and more people are discovering the parlor, especially now that hot weather is upon us. She estimates serving an average of 50 or more gallons of yogurt and sorbets weekly. Customers never know what to expect. Along with the usuals, different and unusual flavors are added periodically, especially during holidays. And there’s always a vast array of toppings. Can’t decide? Essary suggests trying them all with the one-ounce selfserve sample cups. For the more health conscious, sugar-free yogurts and sorbets are offered. “We always have at least one sugar-free, sweetened with Splenda, alternating between chocolate, vanilla and strawberry,” said Essary. The sugar-free is good, not only for diabetics, but dieters. She told of three customers on a high-protein diet who go to The Dinner Bell each day for meat then stop by Gooseberry for sugar-free yogurt. One of their wives buys it in larger containers for home. “Our yogurts keep well and freeze well. Just let it set out a few minutes at room temperature,” she said. “But don’t soften it in the microwave, because it kills the probiotics.” Essary said, “Right now a huge hit for us is the non-dairy, non-fat sorbets.” She explained that since it’s non-dairy, it’s a great alternative for people who are lactose-intolerant. They have five flavors of sorbets, offering a different one each day and each week. With a smile, she said, “Frequently, a customer will call just to ask which

With the Customer Loyalty Program, every dollar spent equals a point and 30 points earns a free, seven-ounce yogurt. Every Tuesday is “Buy One — Get One Free day,” which is good for larger families.
“We also believe in supporting the community, churches and schools,” said Essary. “We have just bought ads in the way of coupons in two area schools’ projects and are proud to give certificates for free yogurts to all players in local Upward programs.” Gooseberry is a perfect place to host a birthday party.

Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report lists legislative expenses Associated Press
JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mississippi spent nearly $7.5 million for salaries and expenses of state lawmakers during the 11 months that ended in early April, according to a new report from the state auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. That breaks down to nearly $5.2 million for the House of Representatives and $2.3 million for the Senate. The report is dated June 7 but was released to the public on Wednesday. It covers expenses from May 4, 2012, the end of that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular legis-
lative session; through April 7, 2013, the end of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session. When all seats are filled, the House has 122 members and the Senate has 52. There were several vacancies during the past year because of deaths or resignations, and several lawmakers received significantly lower than average compensation because they served only part of the 11 months. Because of a quirk in state law, the presiding officer of the House, the speaker, is paid more than the presiding officer
of the Senate, the lieutenant governor. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves of Brandon was paid $77,185 during the 11 months, which was $67,000 in salary and $10,185 in expenses. House Speaker Philip Gunn of Clinton was paid $93,127, which was $75,625 in salary and $17,502 in expenses. The president pro tempore of the Senate, Terry Brown of Columbus, was paid $60,973 during the 11 months, which was $35,750 in salary and $25,223 in expenses. The House speaker pro
tempore, Greg Snowden of Meridian, was paid $55,124, which was $35,750 in salary and $19,374 in expenses. Each rank-and-file lawmaker who served the full 11 months was paid $22,000 in salary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $10,000 for the three months they were in session and $12,000 for the eight months they were out of session. The report shows that lawmakers who live farther from Jackson generally were compensated more for expenses because they were paid for more miles driven.
Excluding the presiding officers, the total compensation House members who served the entire period, including salaries and expenses, ranged from a low of $31,296 by Rep. Cecil Brown of Jackson, who lives just a few miles from the Capitol; to a high of $58,323, by Rep. Donnie Bell of Fulton, who lives about 225 miles away. For the Senate, the range was a low of $34,553 for Sen. Tommy Gollott of Biloxi to a high of $56,105 to Sen. Nickey Browning of Pontotoc. Lawmakers receive the
same mileage reimbursement as federal employees: It was 55.5 cents a mile until December and has been 56.5 cents per mile since January. Being a legislator in Mississippi is considered a part-time job. During the first year of a four-year term, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in regular session from early January until early May. During the other three years, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in regular session from early January until early April. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also sometimes called into special sessions by the governor.
Texas auction house to sell John Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leg irons BY VICKI SMITH Associated Press
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The leg irons that restrained abolitionist John Brown after his failed 1859 raid on a federal arsenal in Harpers Ferry are being sold Saturday in Texas, but two historical parks dedicated to his legacy canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to bid on them. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions estimates the shackles are worth at least $10,000, but some Brown memorabilia has fetched much more. In 2007, a rare daguerreotype sold for $97,750 at a Cincinnati auction. John Boling of Buhl, Idaho, whose family has long owned them, said his family hopes that whoever buys the shackles will display them publicly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that history should be learned and understood,â&#x20AC;? said Boling, whose great-great-greatgrandfather, Hezekiah Atwood Jr., apparently obtained them shortly
after Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution on Dec. 2, 1859, in what is today West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Panhandle. History long regarded Brown as a domestic terrorist, and some Southerners still do. Many scholars consider Brown and his raid to be flash points, hastening the start of the Civil War. But many now see him as a martyr, ahead of his time in trying to end slavery. The Connecticut native spent months plotting to seize 100,000 weapons from the arsenal and use them to launch a guerrilla war with the slaves he believed would join him. Yet the first casualty in the Harpers Ferry raid was a free black man, a baggage handler who bled to death while Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raiders grabbed hostages and holed up at a fire engine house. Within 48 hours, the rebellion was dead, along with at least four civilians, 10 raiders and a U.S. Marine.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that history should be learned and understood,â&#x20AC;? John Boling His great-great-great-grandfather apparently obtained the leg irons shortly after John Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution on Dec. 2, 1859, in West Virginia
Brown was tried for treason, murder and inciting a rebellion. He was hanged in Charles Town, and is buried on his former farmstead in North Elba, N.Y., now home to the John Brown Farm State Historic Site. An official with New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks system said the state has no plans to bid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The raid didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen here, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the resources at this time,â&#x20AC;? said Brendan Mills, manager of the site near Lake Placid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they were donated, we would take them,â&#x20AC;? Much of the Harpers Ferry National Histori-
cal Park is devoted to the story of John Brown, but Superintendent Rebecca Harriett said Monday that she was unaware of the auction. Funding would also be an issue, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially on such short notice.â&#x20AC;? Don Ackerman, consignment director for the auction house, said historians had to sift through a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;murky family loreâ&#x20AC;? to verify the shackles are authentic. Among the stampings are the initials ER, for a well-known Shepherdstown locksmith, Elijah Rickard. Bolingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancestor served with the First Maine Volunteers in the Civil War
and was in Charles Town at some point, perhaps to put down the rebellion, Ackerman said. At least four newspaper articles published between 1889 and 1893 reported that Atwood obtained Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leg irons from an elderly black woman, providing her a substitute pair that he bought for $8. The shackles were briefly exhibited at the Portland Historical Society in Maine after Atwood returned home. When he died, his widow gave them to his brother, James N. Atwood. They later ended up at Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y., where the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher stomped on them during sermons about slavery. Beecher was the brother of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uncle Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabinâ&#x20AC;? author Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Hezekiah Atwood Sr. had been a Congregationalist minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking
about historical objects like this ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always possible to say with absolute certainty that it is what is,â&#x20AC;? Ackerman said. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;deductive reasoningâ&#x20AC;? and the evidence heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reviewed provide 99 percent certainty. Nor has there ever been a contradictory claim of ownership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m satisfied that everything matches and makes sense,â&#x20AC;? Ackerman said, starting with the fact that the same family has had the artifact for generations and that family was connected to Charles Town. The makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marks appear genuine, linked to a well-known family of local locksmiths the jail would likely have used â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the jail acknowledged the shackles had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;liberatedâ&#x20AC;? after Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of those taken in totality,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairly convincing to me that these are the ones.â&#x20AC;? The bidding process is over.
