School budget includes no tax increase

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Rising student enrollment continues to help avert a tax increase for city schools.

The Corinth School District is requesting no change to the

millage rate of 59.2 taxed to city residents.

“We think that we can make it where we are,” said Superintendent Lee Childress. “That’s what we need to try to do in these times.”

A trend of increasing enrollment has bolstered funding through the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.

MAEP funding is expected to be $10.2 million this year, an increase of $417,501 from last

year.

“It has been nice to get that increased revenue from the state, because that then relieves a little bit of the pressure in terms of what you have to do on the local level,” said Childress.

Since MAEP funding is based on attendance, districts will be watching for the impact of the new state law requiring students to be present 63 percent Please see BUDGET | 3A

Scottish pastor experiences From the heart Health scare inspires student some Southern hospitality to spread the word about CPR

BIGGERSVILLE — When The Rev. Janet Mathieson spreads the good word, it flows from the pulpit with a pleasantly lilting Scottish brogue.

Today, she preaches at New Hope Presbyterian Church for the last time of her several-weeks visit. Meanwhile, New Hope’s Nicholas Phillips has preached to Mathieson’s Church of Scotland congregations at Cawdor and Croy & Dalcross.

The visiting pastor, who has been staying with Evelyn and Bill Farrior, previously came to some of America’s bigger cities such as New York and San Francisco but not the rural South.

“This is a whole new experience, but it’s been very good,” she said. “People have been very welcoming and generous and hospitable.”

The visitor from the land of haggis and fish & chips has sampled Mississippi cuisine such as banana pudding, cornbread and tamales.

Her reaction to Corinth’s signature slugburger?

Spreading awareness of the importance of CPR training is a cause close to Avery Shappley’s heart, a heart that might not be beating today but for the lifesaving technique.

The Corinth High School junior was a freshman taking part in the first tennis practice of the year on Feb. 1, 2012, when she suddenly went into cardiac arrest.

Her coach was able to immediately begin CPR until paramedics arrived and shocked her heart back into its normal rhythm using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Shappley recently shared her story with the Corinth Civitan Club as part of her efforts to encourage CPR training and spread the word about the importance of learning how to help others in life-threatening distress.

“The fact is that it can save lives, and luckily, I’m an example of that,” she told the club.

The outreach is part of her Heart Start project, a community service effort she’s

Crow’s Neck reopens as Fellowship Christian retreat center

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Crow’s Neck Environmental Education Center is being reborn as a site for religious study and community outreach.

The center officially reopened Saturday as Fellowship Christian Retreat at Crow’s Neck, more than two years after it was

shuttered by Northeast Mississippi Community College due to falling state support and a lack of use by paying groups to support its upkeep.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns the site and it was previously operated by a group of area colleges in partnership with the Tombigbee

River Valley Water Management District. The group of colleges slowly disintegrated, leaving only Northeast Mississippi Community College to operate the site and in 2011 the school’s board of trustees made the decision to close the facility.

The location was the right fit at the right time for Fellowship

Christian Retreat (FCR), said Karen Comer with the group.

FCR is a non-profit, non-denominational group that was looking for a location to open a Christian camp and retreat center in the region.

“We saw the need for a Christian camp in this part of the country,” she said.

Their search for the perfect location led them to Crow’s Neck and after a year of negotiations they entered into an agreement with the Corps of Engineers to lease the property and provide for its maintenance.

She said the sprawling site with Please see CENTER | 2A

NEMCC, Blue Mountain partner on degree program BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College and Blue Mountain College (BMC) have agreed to an accelerated degree partnership program to be hosted on Northeast’s Corinth campus.

Under the agreement, an undergraduate transfer student from or a graduate of Northeast may take courses offered by Blue Mountain College at the Northeast at Corinth center.

After completing the academic requirements of both institutions, the student shall be awarded a bachelor’s degree from Blue Mountain.

“We look forward to continuing our association with Blue Mountain College with this partnership that is not

only a benefit to both institutions, but also, and most importantly, a benefit to those seeking higher education opportunities in north Mississippi,” said Northeast president Dr. Johnny L. Allen.

Goals of the partnership include enabling students to earn college credit applicable to degrees at both institutions by passing College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests and DSST tests (formerly DANTES Subject Standardized Tests); enabling Northeast graduates to be admitted into Blue Mountain College; expanding student options for collegelevel services and curriculum and improving student access, success and fouryear degree completion.

Selmer woman killed in crash

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A Selmer mother died and two people were injured in a two-car accident Thursday in McNairy County, according to a Tennessee Highway Patrol report.

Heaven Stewart, 19, was killed in the afternoon accident, which happened at 3:45 p.m. on Rowsey School Road about six

miles west of Selmer.

Kevin Austin, 27, of Selmer, was driving east in a 2000 Dodge Neon.

Vickie Hurst, 52, of Bethel Springs, was traveling west in a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox.

Hurst’s Equinox crossed into the path of the Neon on the top of a hill, hitting the Neon head-on, according to the report by the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Austin and Hurst were injured in the accident.

Heaven Stewart was a passenger in Austin’s car, according to the report. A second passenger in the car, Jacob Stewart, 2, had only a minor injury. The toddler was properly restrained in a car seat, according to the report, which also noted Heaven Stewart and Austin were not wearing seat belts.

Comer said they also want the facility to be open to the general public and welcome any school group, church group, corporate group or anyone else who wants to use the site for a retreat or event.

They will also restart Crow’s Neck’s tradition as one of the area’s most beloved wedding venues and already have several weddings booked.

She said they want the retreat to benefit the com-

munity and be a part of the community’s life.

“The facility is just so nice. It’s such a terrific resource,” she said.

The hope to host festivals and other events for the general public later in the year as a way of bringing more people to the site and giving the community a chance to see all that’s there.

“We want to be a good neighbor. I think it will be good for the area,” she said.

MINISTER CONTINUED FROM 1A

“It was good,” she says politely. “Am I going back to have another one before I leave? Probably not.”

The contrasting accents of the minister and the congregation make for a conversation piece.

“It’s certainly a whole new language,” she said.

“You say, ‘parking lot,’ and I say, ‘car park.’ Evelyn puts ‘pitchers’ in the refrigerator, and I put ‘jugs’ in the fridge.

There are differences of language and certainly a very distinctive accent.”

While there are many cultural differences, the two lands are not so different.

“The parishes of Cawdor and Croy & Dalcross and the village of Croy where I live are both rural communities, so there is a lot of farming and a lot of work on the big estates,” said Mathieson. “In some ways it’s quite similar to this area in that it’s rural.

We also have a lot of people who retire to the area, so it’s an older population.”

Her parishes are home to four castles, one in ruins, and a distillery.

The Cawdor church dates to 1619, and the story goes that one of the lords was caught in a terrible storm while aboard a ship off the west coast of Scotland.

“He was so worried that he prayed and said that if he got out of the storm alive, he would build a church in the village,” she said. “So the story is he got out of the shipwreck alive, and he kept his promise and built a church in the center of the village.”

Croy & Dalcross began in 1767.

Originally from Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland, Mathieson moved north to pastor the churches about 10 years ago. She previously earned a degree in English and Scottish literature and worked as a teacher for about 14 years.

During that time, she was involved in the church and Christian education, and eventually she began to consider getting into the ministry.

“It’s one of those very difficult things to explain,” said Mathieson. “There was a certain kind of inevitability about it, and it seemed right to explore the possibility of going into ministry. First of all, I thought I wouldn’t be accepted, and secondly, I thought the school authorities wouldn’t release me in time to begin a course.”

Once she made the leap, however, it all fell into place. She completed a divinity degree at the University of Edinburgh and brought a new perspective to the church.

“When I went to the Presbytery of Inverness — there are 34 Church of Scotland congregations there — I was the only woman,” she said. “I now have another female colleague in the Presbytery.”

She and the Cawdor church had a brush with celebrity a few years ago when Mark Owen, a member of the popular British band Take That, wed Emma Ferguson at the church.

“We kept it secret from all the press people for a very long time, but they got to know about it,” said Mathieson. “The side of my gown has appeared in Hello magazine.”

After her last sermon in Biggersville, she will soon be on her way back to Scotland and will have a little time off to digest the experience of a different culture.

“In terms of the church, there’s the sense of the church worldwide, and that is a very real thing, that there are very strong connections between people who haven’t met but share much in common,” she said.

As for the people, “The overwhelming thing is the friendliness of the people and the hospitality,” said Mathieson. “I had heard about Southern hospitality, and that certainly has been true.”

hopes to raise awareness of the importance of the AED devices which are now available on school campuses throughout the city thanks to sponsors.

She also plans to set up radio promotions to provide information about CPR classes and is helping through the association with efforts to get a bill passed in the legislator to allow high school students to learn CPR or become more aware of it in health classes.

Shappley said she’s never had a problem with public speaking and even though it can be hard to share such a frightening incident it’s important to share her story to help others.

“Telling my story is more important to me than getting nervous about speaking in front of a bunch of people,” she said.

She believes the knowledge of CPR is vital because that knowledge could be the difference between life and death.

“The more you know and are aware of CPR and the more you’re prepared for emergencies, the more chance that your knowledge could save a life one day like it did mine,” she said.

her heart and into her body.

While she was aware of CPR before, her life-threatening experience taught her the importance of CPR. “In my case, I could have gone into cardiac arrest at any point from the time I was born, so the ability of the people around me to do CPR at home, church and other places should have been more available than it probably was,” she told the Civitans.

She’s now visiting local civic groups and working with Magnolia Regional Health Center to spread the word about CPR and how to get training. She also

HATTIESBURG — Most damage from a tornado that struck Feb. 10 has been repaired at the historic Eureka School.

Rick Taylor, executive director of the Hattiesburg Convention

Today’s Highlight: On August 11, 1965, rioting and looting that claimed 34 lives broke out in the predominantly black Watts section of Los Angeles.

On this date: In 1786, Capt. Francis Light arrived in Penang to claim the Malaysian island for Britain.

In 1860, the nation’s first successful silver mill began operation near Virginia City, Nev. In 1909, the steamship SS Arapahoe became the first ship in North America to issue an S.O.S. distress signal, off North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras.

In 1934, the first federal prisoners arrived at Alcatraz Island (a former military prison) in San Francisco Bay. In 1942, during World War II, Pierre Laval, prime minister of Vichy France, publicly declared that “the hour of liberation for France is the hour when Germany wins the war.”

In 1952, Hussein bin Talal was proclaimed King of Jordan, beginning a reign lasting nearly 47 years.

In 1954, a formal peace took hold in Indochina, ending more than seven years of fighting between the French and Communist Viet Minh.

In 1962, Andrian Nikolayev became the Soviet Union’s third cosmonaut in space as he was launched on a 94-hour flight.

In 1984, during a voice test for a paid political radio address, President Ronald Reagan joked that he had “signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

In 1992, the Mall of America opened in Bloomington, Minn.

BUDGET CONTINUED FROM 1A

of the day, a little more than four hours, in order to be counted present.

While MAEP funding is up, some other sources will be down.

The district will receive about $315,000 in Chickasaw Session funds, down about $50,000 as the result of a decline in what 16th section lands yielded last year, and ad valorem reduction funds from the state have dwindled to zero.

State sources will make up 48 percent of revenues, while local taxes will provide 22 percent.

Ad valorem funding from the city has yielded about $10,000 more this year than during the prior year.

The district anticipates total revenue of

about $23,318,697 and expenses of $27,507,040.

Making up most of the difference in those two numbers is $3.6 million in qualified school construction bond funds that will be expended this fiscal year.

The Corinth School District Board of Trustees conducted a public hearing on the budget on Wednesday with no comments received. The board will adopt the budget in the coming week.

As the Iuka woman sat having her blood drawn, she was thinking how to get the word to others about the importance of blood drives.

“Proud to be yo’ country cousin”

BY JIMMY REED My mother and Jaybird befriended animals — then slaughtered them. Mama loved chickens, but showed no feelings when fixing to fry fowl for family feasts. She’d chortle her feed call while scattering corn from her apron, and the flock flapped to the feeding frenzy.

As they ate, Mama eased a cane fitted with a hook under a soon-to-be-plucked pullet, and snatched. Sunday’s supper squawked for mercy, but the unmerciful executioner rung its neck. The decapitated carcass flopped its finale in a feathery flurry, and I fled in fright.

Just as ruthlessly, Jaybird betrayed his pigs. They were shot between the eyes, scalded, swung from scaffolds, scraped, and converted into cracklings, chitterlings, sausage, souse, chops, ribs and hams.

Jaybird’s goats faced Fate on July the Fourth. The old black man, my mentor and best friend, was an excellent cook and, on America’s birthday, invited friends to feast on barbecued goat, baked beans, potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon. I loved the barbecue, but hated the goat dispatching process.

Using chewing tobacco, an irresistible goat snack, Jaybird lured each victim under a shade tree to which he’d attached a board.

As the goat chewed contently, Jaybird suddenly pulled its horns upward and slashed its throat with his Bowie knife. Then he looped a rope tied to the goat’s back legs over the board and let the blood drain.

Watching headless hens fling blood around in a death dance upset me; watching shot hogs pin-wheeling gave me nightmares.

But those gory spectacles didn’t terrify me nearly as much as a goat’s legs running in mid-air, with unhinged head thrashing about, tongue flopping, bleating baa-aahaahs of betrayal.

One 4th, Aunt Ina and her snobbish, snooty daughter Sabrina were coming to visit. I loathed Sabrina, mainly because she was a girl, but also because she condescendingly called me her “country cousin.”

“Son, y’all go outside and play,” Mama said. “Be nice to Sabrina, and don’t take her to Jaybird’s house. You know why.”

No sooner were we outdoors than Sabrina wanted to know why. “On accounta Jay’s killin’ goats,” I said.

“I wanna see, I wanna see,” she shouted.

Mama’s admonition was no match for the devil within me. I could withstand anything to see Sabrina scared — even a goat slaughtering.

The first victim was Giles, my favorite goat.

Sabrina and I scratched his floppy ears while Jaybird stropped his knife.

To my surprise, instead of screaming when Jaybird slashed the goat’s jugulars, Sabrina gloated as Giles gamboled in ghastly, gory, gallows gyrations.

Then it happened — the rope broke. Giles hit the ground running, and pounced directly on me!

Immediately Sabrina, in patent-leather shoes, starched blue dress, and knee-length socks, jumped astraddle the bleeding, bleating beast, grabbed its horns and pulled it away, shouting all the while, “Leave my cousin alone, you mean ole goat!”

That evening, while gorging on Giles’ ribs and watching Jaybird shoot fireworks, I said what I thought I’d never say: “Sabrina, I’m mighty proud to be yo’ country cousin.”

Prayer for today Father, thank You for Your Spirit at work in us as we invite You into the throne-rooms of our mind and into the recesses of our heart to shape us into Your likeness. Amen.

A verse to share “The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.”

— Proverbs 13:9

Worth quoting You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

— C. S. Lewis

Do we really want a Cold War II? “There have been times when they slip back into Cold War thinking,” said President Obama in his tutorial with Jay Leno.

And to show the Russians that such Cold War thinking is antiquated, Obama canceled his September summit with Vladimir Putin.

The reason: Putin’s grant of asylum to Edward Snowden, who showed up at the Moscow airport, his computers full of secrets that our National Security Agency has been thieving from every country on earth, including Russia.

Yet there are many KGB defectors in the United States, and Russia has never used this as an excuse to cancel a summit.

But is a second Cold War really a good idea? And if it is coming, who is more responsible for it?

From 1989 to 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to let Eastern Europe go free and withdraw his troops and tank armies back to the Urals. The Soviet Union was allowed to dissolve into 15 nations. In three years, the USSR gave up an empire, a third of its territory, and half its people.

And it extended to us a hand of friendship.

How did we respond? We pushed NATO right up to Russia’s borders, bringing in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, even former Soviet republics Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

European objections

alone prevented us from handing out NATO war guarantees to Ukraine and Pat Georgia. Was Buchanan this a friendly act?

Columnist Would we have regarded post-Cold War Russian alliances with Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Mexico as friendly acts?

To cut Moscow out of the Caspian Sea oil, we helped build a pipeline through two former Soviet republics, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and, thence, under the Black Sea to our NATO ally Turkey.

In the Boris Yeltsin decade, the 1990s, U.S. hustlers colluded with local oligarchs in looting Russia of her natural resources.

In the past decade, the National Endowment for Democracy and its Republican and Democratic subsidiaries helped dump over governments in Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia, and replace them with regimes friendlier to us and more distant from Moscow.

George W. Bush sought to put an anti-missile system in Poland and the Czech Republic. Neither country had requested it. We said it was aimed at Iran.

When my late friend, columnist Tony Blankley, visited Russia in the Bush II era, he was astounded at the hostility he encountered

from Russians who felt we had responded to their offer of friendship at the end of the Cold War by taking advantage of them.

How did we think he would react to U.S. encirclement of his country by NATO and U.S. meddling in his internal affairs?

How did American patriots in the Truman-McCarthy era react to the discovery that Hollywood, the U.S. government and our atom bomb project were riddled with communists loyal to Josef Stalin?

Why cannot we Americans see ourselves as others see us? Why is Russia still supporting the brutal regime of Bashar Assad in Syria, the Post and Journal demand to know.

Well, Russia has a long relationship with the Assad family, selling it arms and maintaining a naval base on Syria’s coast. Did we expect Russia to behave as we did when our autocratic ally of 30 years, Hosni Mubarak, was challenged by crowds in Tahrir Square?

We ditched Mubarak and washed our hands of him in weeks.

Russia stood by its man.

And does not Putin have a point when he asks why we are backing Syrian rebels among whom are elements of that same al-Qaida that killed thousands of us in the twin towers?

Is the Syrian war so clearcut a case of good and evil that the Russians should dump their friends and sup-

port ours?

If the Assad family is irredeemably wicked, why did George H.W. Bush enlist Hafez Assad in his war to liberate Kuwait in 1991, a war to which Damascus contributed 4,000 troops?

There is another reason Russia is recoiling from America.

With the death of its Marxist-Leninist ideology, Russia is moving back toward its religious and Orthodox roots.

Increasingly, religious Russians look on America, with our Hollywood values and celebrations of homosexuality, as a sick society, a focus of cultural and moral evil in the world.

Much of the Islamic world that once admired America has reached the same conclusion. Yet the Post is demanding that our government stand with “the persecuted rock band” of young women who desecrated with obscene acts the high altar of Moscow’s most sacred cathedral.

Upon what ground do we Americans, 53 million abortions behind us since Roe v.

Wade, stand to lecture other nations on morality?

Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, trade, arms reduction — we have fish to fry with Putin.

As for our lectures on democracy and morality, how ’bout we put a sock in it?

Floating conservatives want to focus on voters’ concerns STAVANGER, Norway — The several hundred conservatives on the National Review’s summer cruise, which I was asked to attend as a speaker, are united in what they don’t like about the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, but divided on the best strategy for winning the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016.

On a panel titled “The State of the GOP and Conservatism,” Bob Costa, the magazine’s Washington bureau chief, asks if anyone agrees with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who thinks Republicans should be willing to shutdown the government over the issue of defunding the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, who served as chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush, thinks closing government over a policy disagreement will only harm the Republican image, as it did nearly 20 years ago when Republicans tried that approach.

West agrees.

He thinks a better strategy is to “single out” portions of the ACA, deny Cal funding them Thomas and make the president Columnist defend those parts that polls show are unpopular.

West, the only AfricanAmerican on the roster of speakers, thinks the best strategy for winning over at least some minority voters is to focus on school choice.

He says Republicans should offer to vote for an increase in the debt limit in exchange for Democrats allowing poor and minority children to select the schools offering them the best education and a ticket out of poverty, instead of supporting teachers’ unions, which oppose charter schools.

When it’s my turn to comment, I quote columnist Thomas Sowell: “Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has been a history of replacing what

worked with what sounded good.”

There is a history to liberal programs and whether they have worked, or not. Republicans and conservatives should tap into the country’s Puritan DNA, which detests waste. Every government agency should be required to justify not only its budget, but its existence.

Republicans should cite publicly as examples people who have made it, either without government, or with help from government, but who are now independent of government. Stop allowing Democrats to set the agenda. You can’t disprove a negative that Republicans care only for the rich. Demonstrate that real caring means showing the poor a way out of poverty, not sustaining them with a government check and that caring for the middle class means an improved economy, which would create more jobs and higher wages.

On the cruise ship’s TV, I watch Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus fret over two forthcoming programs on NBC and CNN that he

thinks will be pro-Hillary Clinton. If the shows air, he threatens not to allow those networks to provide questioners for the 2016 GOP presidential candidates’ debates.

A better strategy would be to demand the right of Republicans to choose one panel member to question Democratic presidential candidates and allow the Democrats to do the same for the Republican debates.

In the latter case, it would make little difference since most journalists are liberal and would ask predictable questions.

The cruising conservatives haven’t yet coalesced around a presidential candidate (some think that a female governor should be on the ticket, especially if Clinton is the Democratic nominee), but there seems to be agreement to first get the policies right, talking less about ideology and statistics and focusing more on the concerns of average voters.

Easier screenings for vets becomes law WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill making it easier for wounded or disabled members of the military and veterans to get through airport security screening.

Obama signed the bill Friday, a week after it received final approval in the House. The measure requires the Defense Department and Veterans Affairs to work with the Transportation Security Administration on a new protocol.

Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, an Iraq war veteran, sponsored the bill, with Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire leading the Senate effort.

Gabbard says the law ensures troops can return to life at home as quickly and seamlessly as possible. She says veterans deserve dignified screening processes that respect their service and sacrifices.

of northwest Washington. One man, Gary Dederichs, a 66-year-old retired nurse visiting from Colorado and staying in a private home, was killed as he walked alone down the street.

Postal Service posts $740 million loss WASHINGTON — The Postal Service says it lost $740 million over the last three months and that without help from Congress its financial woes will only worsen.

The report for the financial quarter ending June 30 comes as Congress considers proposals to fix the agency’s finances. The agency lost $16 billion last year and is trying to restructuring its retail, delivery and mail-processing operations.

The service wants to end most Saturday and door-to-door mail delivery. It also is seeking to reduce its congressionally mandated $5.6 billion annual payment for future retiree health benefits. The agency says ending Saturday mail delivery would save $2 billion each year.

DC hammer attacks trigger witness list

Plane wreckage yields 4 bodies

WASHINGTON — District of Columbia prosecutors plan to call at least 15 witnesses in the trial of a man charged in a series of random hammer attacks last year, according to a letter sent last week to his lawyers.

One of the witnesses is prepared to testify that 20-year-old Michael Davis, the younger brother of NFL players Vernon and Vontae Davis, was not taking medicine for a psychiatric illness at the time of the attacks in late April 2012, prosecutors wrote. Another witness responsible for giving Davis his medication could not remember administering the drug over the course of several days, including on April 24, when authorities say Davis fatally attacked a man visiting from Colorado.

The witnesses are not identified by name but past statements — and presumably expected trial testimony — is summarized in the court filing.

Davis was charged last year with random and unprovoked attacks in a residential neighborhood

EAST HAVEN, Conn.

— Four bodies have been recovered from the site of a plane crash in a residential Connecticut neighborhood, a fire official said Saturday. Those presumed dead are the pilot, a former Microsoft executive, his teenage son and two children in a home struck by the plane.

The bodies — two from the plane and two from one of the two houses it struck — were pulled from the site Friday shortly before midnight, said Anthony Moscato, deputy chief of the East Haven Fire Department.

He said they are believed to be the only victims.

Two children, ages 1 and 13, have been missing since the plane crashed into their home.

The multi-engine, propeller-driven plane struck the two small homes near Tweed New Haven Airport just before noon Friday. The aircraft’s left wing lodged in one house and its right wing in the other.

Authorities had said as many as six people could have been killed. The victims were not immediately identified.

Suit against school district reinstated JACKSON — A lawsuit against the Lafayette County School District has been reinstated by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The case centers on a lawsuit that alleges the district fired assistant principal Lisa Mooney because she campaigned for an opponent of Schools Superintendent Mike Foster in 2007.

Mooney’s attorney, Jim Waide of Tupelo, said the court found there was circumstantial evidence that the

district fired Mooney because she campaigned for a special education teacher who ran against Foster.

U.S. District Judge Neal Biggers of Oxford had dismissed Mooney’s lawsuit, ruling it had been too long since the 2007 election to support a finding that Mooney’s campaigning was the reason for her 2010 firing.

Mooney said she was the only administrator fired when the district reduced staffing. The district claimed Money’s performance had deteriorated after the political campaign, according to court records.

Find of marijuana leads to 1 arrest ABERDEEN— Authorities say a 38-year-old Memphis, Tenn., woman was arrested Friday after they found more than 4 pounds of marijuana in her car during a traffic stop.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department tells WTVA that Tammy Vanessa Thomas, 38, was arrested after her vehicle was pulled over on U.S. Highway 45.

Authorities say they recovered about four pounds, 11 ounces of marijuana from her vehicle.

Thomas was booked

with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Meridian robbery suspect arrested MERIDIAN — Police say a 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that took place in July.

Capt. Dean Harper tells The Meridian Star that Devante D. May was booked on Wednesday with armed robbery.

Authorities say May is suspect of robbing a clerk at gunpoint on July 8 at the Paradise FoodMart.

STARKVILLE — A successful tailgate party requires a winning game plan for the food, not just for the football game that follows.

Food safety experts say one in six people gets a food-borne illness each year. While most of these incidents do not require hospitalization and are even blamed on a stomach bug or 24-hour virus, these illnesses are avoidable.

Brent Fountain, a registered dietitian and nutrition specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said time and temperature abuse are the most common mistakes people make at tailgates, picnics and other outdoor events involving food.

“The longer you leave food in the temperature danger zone, which is between 40 and 140 de-

Kudzu bugs: Pest worries Mississippi STARKVILLE — After just one year in Mississippi, invasive kudzu bugs are becoming a management headache in soybeans and a pest in houses. And the pea-sized bugs made their way into Louisiana this year, probably as hitchhikers.

Farmers and entomologists in both states had been watching for an invasion since July 2012, when kudzu bugs were spotted in Vicksburg — about 270 miles west of the nearest Alabama county where they’d been seen.

In June, the LSU AgCenter confirmed its arrival in a soybean field in Madison Parish.

Mississippi State University Extension Service entomologist Angus Catchot says the highest numbers found were in southwest Mississippi near Warren County.

Columbus schools change uniform policy COLUMBUS — Students in the Columbus Municipal School District will be able to add a little color to their uniform choice this year.

The district board voted this week to allow students to wear purple, gold and their school spirit shirts in addition to their white and blue polo shirts. The purple and gold shirts must also be polo shirts. Students are still required to wear khaki pants, shorts or skirts.

Tract may become park in DeSoto LEWISBURG — Supervisors in DeSoto County have agreed to accept more than 40 acres, including a lake, for a future Lewisburg park.

an actual scoop with a handle, not just a spare cup, in the ice chest for serving the ice,” Vosbein said.

The primary reason for these precautions is to prevent the spread of viruses that may be on hands. The cold and flu season usually has started before football season is over, and infected people can spread viruses by using their bare hands on ice that will go in cups.

Ice is a key player in the successful tailgate because it makes portable refrigeration possible.

Fountain suggested using different ice chests for different purposes at outdoor events.

“Have one ice chest for beverages that will be consumed right away, one ice chest that holds ice for drinks and another ice chest for the ready-to-eat foods that must be kept chilled to prevent spoilage,” he said. “You also

JACKSON — A federal appeals court will hear arguments Sept. 4 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a Mississippi man who died after being stunned by police during an arrest.

The lawsuit seeking $25 million in damages was filed by Jermaine Williams’ family. It’s on the docket of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

Authorities say Cleveland, Miss., officers responded to a July 2010 call about loiterers and found what they believed to be a bag of cocaine.

Williams allegedly grabbed the bag and ran. Authorities say officers used stun guns to subdue Williams when he became combative.

A judge in Mississippi dismissed the lawsuit in 2012, ruling the officers’ conduct didn’t rise to the level of reckless disregard. The family wants it reinstated.

grees, the greater the chance that bacteria will grow,” Fountain said.

Keeping foods out of the danger zone requires plenty of ice, thorough cooking and a careful eye on the thermometer and the clock. Food that has stayed in the danger zone for two hours must be thrown away.

“The best thing is to plan to have no leftovers at the tailgate party,” Fountain said.

This goal requires tailgate organizers to plan ahead so there is sufficient food for the anticipated number of people, limiting waste.

Dawn Vosbein, a registered dietitian and Extension family and consumer science agent in Pearl River County, had some tips on how ice fits into the tailgate game plan.

$50,000 offered for info regarding defaced statue NEW YORK — The reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for defacing a statue of Jackie Robinson in New York with swastikas and hate speech is now $50,000.

The Jackie Robinson Foundation says Friday it has received two donations totaling $40,000. The Daily News has offered $10,000 for information in the case.

On Wednesday, the words “Heil Hitler,” an expletive and racist epithets were discovered scrawled on the statue in black marker.

The statute of Jackie Robinson and a teammate stands outside Brooklyn’s minor league baseball stadium. The New York City Parks Department removed the hate speech Thursday.

The Daily News reports $20,000 of the reward money was donated by foundation board member Joe Plumeri. The other $20,000 was donated anonymously.

Florida murder suspect posted photo of wife’s body SOUTH MIAMI, Fla. — A South Florida man faces first-degree murder charges after authorities say he fatally shot his wife, and then apparently posted a photo of her dead body on Facebook.

Miami-Dade police report that 31-year-old Derek Medina turned himself in Thursday, telling them he had shot 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso in their South Miami home after she said she was leaving him, they got into an argument and she punched him.

A post on a Facebook page identified as Medina’s says, “I’m going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife.”

The post claims that his wife was punching him and that he wasn’t going to stand any more abuse. The photo was up for more than five hours before Facebook took it down Thursday afternoon.

Judge sides with Usher; ex-wife denied custody order ATLANTA — A judge in Atlanta on Friday dismissed an emergency request by R&B singer Usher’s exwife seeking temporary custody of their two children.

Tameka Foster Raymond requested the hearing a day after the former couple’s 5-year-old son got caught in a pool drain while in the care of the Grammy winner’s aunt. After a hearing in which both Usher and Raymond took the stand, Fulton County Superior Court Judge John Goger dismissed her request for temporary primary custody and decisionmaking authority.

Based on the evidence presented at the hearing, Goger said he wasn’t certain anyone really could have done anything to prevent the accident. But he also advised Usher to keep his ex-wife well advised of his whereabouts and who’s taking care of the children.

After the judge issued his ruling, Usher approached his ex-wife and gave her a long hug.

Usher Raymond V fell to the bottom of the pool and became stuck in the drain on Monday, according to an Atlanta police report. A contractor doing work at the home pulled the boy from the pool and performed CPR.

New York man pleads guilty in Deen extortion case SAVANNAH, Ga. — A New York man has pleaded guilty in federal court to trying to extort $200,000 from Paula Deen by threatening to reveal damaging information about the embattled celebrity cook if she didn’t pay him.

Thomas George Paculis told a U.S. District Court judge Friday in Savannah: “I did try to take money from her.” The 62-year-old defendant said he wanted to make a deal with Deen’s lawyer to sign a nondisclosure agreement because “I thought that would make this more legal.”

need a separate cooler for raw foods that will be cooked. It’s also a good idea to freeze these items ahead of time to make sure they are fresh and safe.”

Chilled items need to remain cold on the serving table to stay safe to eat. Commercial products are available for this purpose, but the task can also be accomplished by setting serving dishes in larger bowls of ice. Either consume hot foods within the two-hour safety window or keep them warm by using chafing dishes or portable heat cans.

A final part of the food safety game plan is knowing when to call it quits.

While spoiled food may be easy to spot, foods capable of making a person sick often appear harmless. Bacteria are microscopic, and food contaminated with bacteria does not smell, look or taste bad.

Pastures, forages face new battles

BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications

STARKVILLE — Forage producers and their livestock are not the only ones admiring the plentiful bermudagrass fields and pastures across the state this year.

Another invasive insect has arrived in Mississippi, this time to take a bite out of potentially strong hay yields.

Stem maggots are joining the list of invasive species in the state that includes fire ants, fall armyworms, kudzu bugs, and once upon a time, boll weevils.

Blake Layton, entomologist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said stem maggots probably arrived in 2011, one year after they were first detected in Georgia.

2012 was the first year Mississippi entomologists documented their activity throughout the state. The mature flies are similar to horn flies in size and shape, and they have yellow abdomens.

“They kill the last two leaves growing out of the shoot on bermudagrass,” he said. “Once the late fall arrives, they can kill side shoots too. Grass looks like it has had a frost.”

Layton said hay producers will not want to spray for these new invaders because control will require two treatments and will not be cost-effective.

“Most producers will go ahead and cut the grass or hay when the populations reach damaging levels,” he said.

“They are not nearly as damaging as fall armyworms, which growers do control with insecticide treatments.”

AUG. 11 (8/11) SERVES AS CONVENIENT REMINDER FOR CORINTH AREA RESIDENTS TO ALWAYS CALL 811 BEFORE DIGGING City of Corinth Gas & Water Department encourages people to make a free call 2 days before digging to know what’s below.

With Aug. 11 almost here, Corinth Gas & Water Department hopes this date on the calendar, 8/11, will serve as a natural reminder for residents to call 811 prior to any digging project to have underground utility lines marked. Every eight minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811.

When calling 811, homeowners and contractors are connected to Corinth Gas & Water, the local one-call center, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig.

Professional locators are then sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags, spray paint or both.

Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs, fines and inconvenient outages.

Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811. Installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and laying a patio are all examples of digging projects that need a call to 811 before starting.

“On Aug. 11 and throughout the year, we remind homeowners and professional contractors alike to call 811 before digging to eliminate the risk of striking an underground utility line,” said John Rhodes, Manager of Corinth Gas & Water Department. “It really is the only way to know which utilities are buried in your area.”

The depth of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists.

Visit www.call811.com or www.corinthgasandwater.com for more information about 811 and safe digging practices.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian A keepsake magazine “100 Years of Corinth High School Football” will be published before the start of the 2013 season. Look for this magazine to be inserted in the Friday, Aug. 23, edition of the Daily Corinthian.

Dad who treasures his trash refuses to part with any of it DEAR ABBY: I am fed up with my father’s hoarding. Junk is piled everywhere, and our cat has twice gotten hurt in the piles.

If there is a spare corner, junk is thrown in it. When I try to say anything, Dad gets defensive over his “stuff,” and my mother defends his “pack rat” ways.

She says they are his things, not mine.

I’m extremely embarrassed when friends, relatives or neighbors visit. I have offered to help clean, but he refuses to get rid of anything. What do you do when someone doesn’t believe this is a problem? — EMBARRASSED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR EMBARRASSED: There is nothing you can say that will fix your father’s problem because it’s a psychological disorder. Even if he was willing to do something about his hoarding, it would take the assistance of a mental health professional and a support group to help him let go of his “stuff” because it would be like letting go of a part of himself.

If you’re still living at home with your parents, all you can do is keep your own space as neat and organized as possible and not allow your father’s problem to affect your self-esteem. Once you can afford to live on your own — move. After that, if your father’s hoarding continues to the point it becomes a danger

to your parents’ health or a fire hazard, quietly notify the fire department or health department, Abigail which then be able Van Buren may to intervene.

D E A R Dear Abby ABBY: My husband and I had a beautiful baby boy four months ago. Since then, he has admitted that he married me only to have a child. My husband says he “cares for me,” but he’s not in love with me.

Still, he provides for all my needs and I don’t want a divorce.

I know I’ll be happy enough.

My friend is telling me I am doing a disservice to my little one because he will never learn to love a woman. Am I harming my baby? — NEW MOM IN TEXAS DEAR MOM: I can’t see how you are harming your child. If you are a loving, attentive mother, your baby boy will love you unconditionally.

Your friend may feel you are short-changing yourself because she doesn’t understand that you’re willing to settle for financial security and forgo romantic love. However, if you are truly happy with this arrangement, your friend should be less

judgmental.

DEAR ABBY: I was diagnosed with breast cancer at a very young age and underwent a double mastectomy. Fortunately, I am cancer-free.

My husband was totally turned off by my appearance, and hasn’t touched me sexually in many years. I have no desire to leave him, but I’m wondering how many other women have gone through the same thing.

We have lost so much of ourselves, and when we need our husbands the most, they turn the other way! —ANONYMOUS IN WISCONSIN DEAR ANONYMOUS: I strongly suspect that you’re not the only woman this has happened to. We live in a society that has sexualized breasts to the point that it has caused many men to forget there are real people attached to them.

While a life-threatening illness has caused some males to turn away, it has reminded other men what is really important in life.

I am throwing your question open to my readers. I am sure the responses it generates will be educational for everyone.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Ignore that little voice inside, and you will wind up frustrated and bored. But if you listen to your intuition instead, it will lead you to scenarios that will inspire moments of clarity, joy and delight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your sign mate Jerry Seinfeld said, “There’s no such thing as fun for the whole family.”

You’ll avoid the futility of trying to please everyone by pleasing yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Projecting the likely outcome is like a game to you today. You may even feel confident enough in your predictions that you’ll want to make a bet, and a gambling friend will take you up on it, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Doing what it takes to compete with the big fish is the order of the day. Strangely, the more ready you are for the challenge the less competitive toward others you feel.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Someone who speaks with confidence and has plenty of pertinent knowledge to share will enter your scene, although you may learn even more from someone who thinks more and talks less.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There’s a new kind of learning that’s necessary today. In order to understand how things really are, you must strip away some of the erroneous information you’ve been taught and start over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be feeling tough today and a bit cheeky, as well. When someone challenges you, you’ll accept and possibly raise the stakes just to make things even more interesting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s not enough to appreciate those who work hard to help you now; financial compensation will speak louder than words. This isn’t always the case, but today people are focused on the bottom line of their bank accounts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Enjoying what you have is better than plotting and planning how you’re going to keep it forever. You’re not going to keep it forever. Nothing is permanent.

Hopefully this will inspire you to savor the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s easier to overcome an obstacle in your environment than an obstacle in your head.

What’s hard is being able to tell the difference. Keep asking, “Is this real, or is it just me?”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some people talk too much when they are nervous; others go the opposite direction and don’t say much. You’ll avoid both extremes as you gravitate toward people who make you feel comfortable and free to be yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You do not need people to be agreeable in order for you to like them. You’re one of those rare individuals who appreciate and even celebrate the differences between people.

McKinney leads MSU linebackers The Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State linebacker Benardrick McKinney was one of the Southeastern Conference’s most productive freshmen last season, providing a ferocious presence in the middle of the Bulldogs’ defense.

His trick to such earlycareer production: He didn’t have to think much. Veteran Cameron Lawrence did a lot of that for him.

But now Lawrence is gone — off to pursue a career in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. So McKinney and the other linebackers are ready to prove they can handle the mental side of the game, too.

Defensive coordinator Geoff Collins said McKinney is becoming comfortable with Xs and Os during preseason camp, and that should lead to even more production this season.

“He has embraced it,” Collins said. “He knows what every kid on our defense is doing.”

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound McKinney was second on the team with 102 tackles last year, behind Lawrence’s 120.

The sophomore has emerged as the leader of a group that’s got several experienced veterans like Matthew Wells, Deontae Skinner and Ferlando Bohanna.

It’s a position loaded with talent for the Bulldogs. Collins said he might have 10 linebackers capable of helping the defense on Saturdays.

“I’m very lucky to have the group of guys that I have,” Collins said. “The (players) I have in my room embody everything that this program stands for — relentless effort, competitiveness, great attitude and getting better every day. I couldn’t be more proud of the guys I coach every day.

They come into meetings, there’s 12 of them sitting there wired, ready to get better. It’s not like that everywhere.”

Collins is in his first season as Mississippi State’s sole

defensive coordinator after spending two years as a cocoordinator and linebackers coach.

He brings an infectious energy to the field, bouncing around among the players even on the 95-degree days so common during August in Starkville. The Bulldogs are trying to replace several highprofile defensive players from a year ago, including Lawrence and cornerbacks Johnthan Banks and Darius Slay.

Collins and the other assistants have developed a lighthearted system called “juice Please see LINEBACKERS | 11A

The SunDolls finished 7-2 in the World Series with their only losses coming to the champion Red Devils.

SunDolls take runner-up in World Series

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

A team with three Alcorn County players recently finished second in the USSSA 12U Fastpitch Softball World Series played in Collierville, Tenn.

The SunDolls lost to the Germantown Red Devils in the title game 4-1. There were teams from six states in

the tournament.

The local players on the SunDolls are Brianna Barnes, Presley Tice and Brylee Kate Duncan.

The SunDolls finished 7-2 in the World Series with their only losses coming to the champion Red Devils. A majority of this year’s SunDolls played on last year’s World Series champion in

the 10U division.

Annabelle Whitaker was named the Most Outstanding Pitcher in the World Series for her performance in the circle.

The SunDolls scored the most amount of runs (66) and allowed the fewest runs (18) of any team in the World Series.

After losing to the Red

Devils in the winners’ bracket final, the SunDolls defeated the number two team in the nation Rip-It to reach the championship round.

The other players on the SunDolls are Tori York, Ainsley Hale, Allie King, Paige Mask, Megan Hodum, Whitaker, Bailey Phillips and the coach is Leigh Hodum.

High-power offenses leaving teams defenseless The Associated Press

Offense is out of control.

Points have never been more plentiful in college football. If touchdowns could be weighed they’d be measured in tons. And yards? On some Saturdays it seems you could get to the moon and back with all the ground that gets covered.

Quarterbacks are better trained than ever before and their skills more diverse.

The days when a QB was a rare commodity if he could run AND pass are long gone.

Offensive coordinators aren’t afraid to blend eras and philosophies if it’ll get them a first down. A little triple-option here. A little West Coast there. A dash of run-and-shoot for flavor.

“Every Saturday you’re seeing all of football history in every game,” said Chris B. Brown, the author of “The Essential Smart Football” and the Smart Football blog.

And to top it all off, they’re running plays almost as fast as Usain Bolt can run the 200.

Outside of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and a few other spots around the country, defenses have become defenseless.

“In the early 90s, the defenses were ahead and Miami was dominating defensively. Things kind of evolved,” said Arizona State coach Todd Graham, a former defensive coordinator. “But I will tell you, the last 10 years, man, it’s been steadily, steadily,

steadily the offenses having the edge. The game has changed.”

How does a defensive coach deal with it?

“It’s hard,” UCLA coach Jim Mora said, his eyes widening and his voice rising.

“It’s crazy.”

Mora, a former NFL defensive coordinator, is one of the many feeling flummoxed.

Defensive innovators haven’t been able to counter with Xs and Os. They’re hoping a different approach in recruiting might help or possibly doubling down on fundamentals. Something to turn around a trend that’s been developing for years.

In 2008, FBS teams averaged 27 points per game

and 371.6 yards. Last year, those figures jumped to 29.5 points per game and 409 yards. Plays per game from scrimmage have increased from 67.7 to 71.5 per team.

And yards per play has risen from 5.48 to 5.72.

Even in the Southeastern Conference, which boasts of its defensive prowess, the offenses are taking over.

SEC’s teams averaged a league-record 402.4 yards per game and 30.4 points, a bit shy of the record of 31 per game set in 2010.

And with more SEC teams picking up the pace of play these days — despite the protests of Nick Saban and Bret Bielema — don’t be surprised if the record book is rewritten again in 2013.

More than 1,000 attend Texas A&M player’s funeral The Associated Press

COLLEYVILLE, Texas — The mother of a Texas A&M defensive lineman and his younger brother told her sons goodbye in front of a packed church Saturday, almost two weeks after they and another teen were killed in a car accident in New Mexico.

Texas A&M football coach

Kevin Sumlin and about 75 of his players and staff were among the more than 1,000 people who attended the funeral for defensive lineman Polo Manukainiu, 19, and his brother, 13-year old Andrew “Lolo” Uhatafe.

Tulima Uhatafe and other family members remembered the teens as humble

boys who brought smiles to everyone they met.

“The heavenly father gave me those beautiful sons for me to take care of them,” Uhatafe said as she wiped away tears. “To teach them (how) to be humble.”

A line of family members greeted Texas A&M football players as they walked into

the service, which was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Fort Worth suburb of Colleyville.

“It’s very touching for our family. And for (the team) coming to pay their respects is very much appreciated,” said Tupou Taufa, a cousin of the brothers.

Collins said McKinney almost always leads the pack in the subjective scoring system and that in many ways he’s an extension of the coaching staff on the field.

“Benardrick is just a ball of energy,” Collins said. “He is everything this program stands for from a leadership, attitude and character standpoint.”

McKinney said he’s aware that his production needs to improve during the coming season, but it might not necessarily show in more tackles or sacks. Instead, he’s helping put others in position to be successful.

That means just as much time spent in the film room as on the practice field.

“I like to be a leader,” McKinney said. “I like to see other people make plays before I make them. I’m not a selfish player.

The coaches are going to put me in position to make plays, so all I have to do is make them.”

Collins said McKinney’s role as a facilitator is even more vital because several SEC programs use the trendy high-tempo offense.

Defensive players are often on the field for several plays at a time because there’s no time for substitutions, meaning decisions have to be made quickly when players are tired. The Bulldogs will get a test in the season’s first weekend against Oklahoma State’s high-scoring offense.

‘The Sweetest Hallelujah’ remains a beautiful novel

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER Columnist

“The Sweetest Hallelujah” by Elaine Hussey c.2013, Harlequin $15.95 /$18.95 Canada 346 pages Your best friend knows everything she needs to know.

She knows your secrets, and the dreams you hold. She chases away your insecurities, your sorrows are her burdens, your joy is her triumph.

Your best friend knows your heart, and loves you better for it. And in the new book “The Sweetest Hallelujah” by Elaine Hussey, a friendship that starts with a secret ends with a forever bond.

Dead Alice Watkins knew how to send a message to residents of Shakerag, Miss., on the north side of Tupelo.

When something bad was about to happen, everybody knew that Alice sent the odor

Book review of barbecue and notes from a blues harmonica around. Now, those things could be blamed on Tiny Jim’s barbecue house and juke joint, it was true, but most folks knew a warning when they smelled one.

And lately, 10-year-old Billie Hughes smelled barbecue a lot.

She tried not to think about it, however, even though she knew Mama was sick. That’s because Billie knew something Alice didn’t: if Billie could find her daddy, he’d fix everything.

He was a famous musician in Memphis, and was surely rich.

Billie figured he was kind of like Roy Rogers, only black.

Betty Jewel, Billie’s Mama, knew her daughter idolized the father she’d never met. Billie talked all the time about finding

him, but Betty Jewel knew that Saint Hughes was no good. He ruined her life and her career.

The only thing he’d ever give Billie was his last name.

Ten years after her husband,

Joe, died, Cassie Malone still grieved deeply.

Not one day went by without her missing his hugs, his laughter. She couldn’t bear to get rid of his clothes, or the empty crib for the babies they never had.

She regretted most of all that they never had children. Three miscarriages still made her ache.

Which is maybe why the ad in the weekly paper caught her eye.

“Desperate,” it said. “Dying woman seeks mother for her child.”

What would make a woman do that? Cassie had to know – though lynchings and Jim Crow laws would make it dangerous to find out. So she left her wellappointed Tupelo house, and stepped right into a secret...

I loved this book, but not for the story itself — which is wonderful and a little reminiscent of a certain Oscar-winning

movie, only with a twist. I loved this book, but not for the exceptionally likeable characters. No, I loved “The Sweetest Hallelujah” because of the way author Elaine Hussey has written it.

With words that will make you weep and descriptions that put you directly in the scene, Hussey tells a tale of racism, understanding, and a mother’s love.

There’s conflict in here, and maybe a bit of controversy; some Southern hospitality, and a haint that plays a surprisingly large part in the story.

It’s a beautiful novel. That’s all.

If your book group is in need of a great title, give them this one: “The Sweetest Hallelujah.”

With that, they have everything they need to know.

History

Major General Earl Van Dorn

Colonel Lawrence “Sul” Ross, later served two terms as governor of Texas.

Sunday, August 11, 2013

Major General Braxton Bragg

I lost my pants in Corinth There was this one time for the ride down to Tuwhen I was flying from pelo.

The by wagons to the railroad commander of the outfit, Colonel Sul Ross, wrote depot.

At the time the army, his wife how his men 15,000 strong, was at were “almost in a state of Camp Churchill Clarke on nudity.”

Captain James Bates, the east side of Corinth, somewhere in the neigh- of the 9th Texas, wrote borhood between the home about how his bagmodern Crossroads Re- gage had been burned at gional Park and High- Corinth, but being an ofway 72.

After a week or so it Crawford, way down in must have gotten pretty Lowndes County.

Captain Bates was sent gamey in camp. Wool coats and pants, long un- down by rail to gather up derwear, lots of sweat, the wayward duds. He little fresh water. Oh, found them and had them I’m holding my nose just loaded in boxcars when an officer sent from Genthinking about it.

When the decision eral Braxton Bragg orcame to abandon the city dered him to stop. Bragg to the Union, the baggage confiscated the clothes for was loaded in boxcars the use of his own men.

On the same day a Lieutenant Alexander, a supply officer in one of Van Dorn’s brigades, was also sent to bring in a load of tents and cooking utensils to the brigade headquarters. Again, Bragg, acting like he was a quartermaster instead of corps commander, ordered the boxcars to be emptied before they could be sent north.

He took the tents and pots, too.

I’ve heard some bad things said about General Bragg, a guy who was not the most popular man in either army. But nothing he ever did deserved a cussing like what he did to those poor boys from Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas.

All this reminds me of a story General Grant used to tell about Bragg back in his U.S. Army days. It seems Bragg was wearing two hats at the time; one as company commander, the other as company quartermaster. One day he wrote out a requisition for supplies he needed and sent it to himself. As company quartermaster he decided the requisition was unnecessary, so he disapproved the request and sent it back to himself. As company commander he turned around and sent the request right back to ... you know who.

This went back and forth until he finally went to his own boss to resolve the disagreement before it turned into a fistfight.

The exasperated officer told him, “My God, Mr. Bragg, you have quarreled with every officer in the army, and now you are quarreling with yourself.” So much for Bragg the quartermaster.

At any rate, Bates and Alexander returned to camp with the news of how Bragg refused to let them have their own clothes, tents and kitchen supplies. So began a firestorm of angry letters.

Colonel Ross wrote to his boss, General Charles Pfifer, of the “wretched condition” of his men, as each man had “worn one suit without change” for weeks. He pointed out that because they had nothing else to wear, the clothes had not been washed in weeks. “Now they are too much worn and rotten, leaving the men in a state of nudity and covered with vermin.” Vermin meant lice.

Ross complained how he had sent for the wayward clothes on two occasions and had been refused both times. His men, who had endured the march south from Corinth, were now “Barefooted to a great extent & half naked.”

General Pfifer sent the letter up the chain of command, adding the endorsement, “Can state of my own knowledge that the case is even worse than represented.” Worse than naked and covered in lice?

Next in line was the division commander, General Dabney Maury. He forwarded the letter without comment but he had already fired off a letter of his own complaining about the failed mission of Lt. Alexander. “He had the cooking utensils on the cars and they were removed by order, as was said, of General Bragg.”

The letters quickly made it to the army commander, Gen. Van Dorn,

who in turn forwarded them to the overall commanding officer, General Beauregard.

A very peeved Van Dorn then wrote his own letter to General Beauregard stating he was about to send another man south for the wayward uniforms, tents, and cooking items. He asked for an order from the big man himself just in case Bragg once again tried to get in the way.

Bragg was not just a corps commander in the Army of the Mississippi; he was also Beauregard’s chief-of-staff. It was in this capacity he gave his despicable orders and Van Dorn was convinced the man had over stepped his authority.

Bragg was fast becoming a burr under Van Dorn’s saddle prompting him to write, “Also, some information in regard to Gen. Bragg’s authority in the matter. I was not aware that I was in any way under his control. I presume however, that there is some mistake about it but it has occurred more than once.”

The message was clear; Van Dorn was telling Bragg to keep his hands off when it came to the Army of the West.

With that, the war of words ended. The clothes must have been returned or new ones found to take their place. There were no more complaints, no more angry letters, and no more reports of half-naked Confederates roaming the neighborhood.

Did Beauregard intervene in the situation? Did he see to the return of the britches and the cutlery?

It’s hard to say as “Gus” was pretty busy at the time. The administration in Richmond was breathing down his neck for an explanation of why he abandoned Corinth. Also, he was suffering from a nasty throat infection and his surgeons were demanding he take some time off.

I mentioned in a previous article about how Beauregard took a little vacation near Mobile to recover his health and President Davis took the opportunity to relieve him of his command. In lieu of “Gus,” General Bragg was placed in overall command of the department, which meant Van Dorn was now working for him.

And how well did they get along? Remember the last scene in Casablanca when Humphrey Bogart says, “Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”? That’s not what happened here.

Just a day after Bragg took command he transferred Van Dorn to Vicksburg. The transfer was literally the first thing Bragg did upon taking over.

Was it because “Buck” Van Dorn blamed Bragg for taking his supplies?

Or accusing him of overstepping his authority?

Maybe, maybe not.

But Braxton Bragg was a man who knew how to hold a grudge and he was undoubtedly noneto-pleased at having been called out for stealing Van Dorn’s pants, the pants everyone thought he had lost in Corinth.

This Week in the Civil War The Associated Press

Editors Notes: This series marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War draws primarily from wartime dispatches credited to The Associated Press or other accounts distributed through the AP and other historical sources.

This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, Aug. 11: Shelling near Fort Sumter, S.C., Confederate sub to Charleston.

Federal forces continued to lay siege to Confederate forces holding defensive positions in South Carolina’s Charleston harbor area. From late July of 1863 until early September of that year, Union forces were intent on reducing Confederate fighters defending Charleston — where the Civil War

broke out at federally-held Fort Sumter in 1861. The prolonged federal siege began after a failed assault July 18, 1863, on Confederate defenses at Fort Wagner — led by a courageous black regiment which suffered heavy loss of life. It would not be until Sept. 7, 1863, that Confederate foes would abandon Fort Wagner when their position there became untenable. This week 150 years ago in the Civil War, the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley arrived by train at Charleston after its construction in Mobile, Ala. It was billed as the world’s first successful submarine and seen as a secret weapon for the South in fighting Abraham Lincoln’s wartime blockade of Southern seaports.

This Week in The Civil War, for week

of Sunday, Aug. 18: Siege prolonged at Fort Sumter, S.C. Federal forces have positioned artillery batteries on a barrier island near Charleston Harbor, S.C., and begun firing on Confederate-held Fort Sumter 150 years ago this week in the Civil War. The prolonged bombardment will continue for weeks, though the Confederates remain stoutly entrenched in the massive-walled fort where the Civil War began in 1861. The move comes as Union forces hope to penetrate the Charleston Harbor defenses and seize the city as part of a tightening blockade on Southern river and seaports.

The Associated Press, in a dispatch titled “Latest from Charleston” reported on the artillery barrages. It said “the bombardment of

Sumter ... proceeds sluggishly” as Union fighters fortified their positions near the harbor. In between bouts of firing, there is calm, “everything perfect quiet except the occasional boom of the guns.”

Another dispatch said witnesses reported seeing several artillery shells strike Fort Sumter, “which caused the brick and mortar to fly profusely.

This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, Aug. 25: South Carolina fighting, violence in Kansas.

The Associated Press reported in a dispatch dated Aug. 25, 1863: “The bombardment of (Fort) Sumter still continues, and the south wall has been demolished almost to its base.” For weeks now, Union forces have been attempting to smash

through heavy Confederate defenses on islands ringing Charleston Harbor off South Carolina’s coast.

The AP dispatch added that rebel batteries have answered the Union’s artillery bombardment with bursts of return fire at short intervals. Federal forces reported that their casualties are few and that “every confidence in success is felt by the officers and troops.”

At one point the bombardment became so intense, AP reported, that the entire southwest side of Fort Sumter has been reduced to rubble — “nothing but a heap of ruins.”

Even the Confederate flag flying above the fort was shot away during one barrage, The AP reported.

In Kansas, meanwhile, authorities report the dis-

covery 150 years ago this week of 28 bodies — part of the sectarian violence that the war has touched off in the West. Witnesses said in dispatches that the discovery of murdered civilians in one town was “heart-rending and sickening.”

This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, Sept. 1: Confederates abandon Morris Island off Charleston, S.C. Sporadic shelling of Confederate defenses on Morris Island, at the mouth of Charleston Harbor, S.C., have their effect this week 150 years ago in the Civil War. The night of Sept.

6-7, 1863, the Confederate garrison at Battery Wagner on Morris Island was evacuated — leaving the Union to control the barrier island near the harbor entrance.

I made a big mess out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love making them just my first attempt but I kept to look at once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, and kept at it, until

David Todd displays some of his bone-handled knives.

I got it right. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a perfectionist, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no telling how many Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thrown away because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way they were supposed to be.â&#x20AC;?

Even after all these years, David says he learns something new every time he makes a knife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting some good horn to work with is the next hardest part.â&#x20AC;? David says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a pretty

I even made them to sell at one time.â&#x20AC;?

David no longer makes knives to sell to the public and wishes he had never

sold any to begin with.

That regretful feeling came about a while back when he stopped off at a Selmer pawn shop and found one of his knives on display.

But David doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just make bone-handled knives. He also makes the scabbard the knife goes in.

Only sturdy rawhide leather is used. Most scabbards on the market

are either synthetic or made of thin leather. His scabbards, like the knives, are made to last.

The complete process for making a knife and a scabbard takes two days for each.

David says he would gladly make a bone-handled knife for anyone on one condition: Any person who brings him a good enough set of antlers to work with can get a knife made free of charge, but he gets to keep the rest of the antler to make knives for himself.

Anyone interested in his proposition or to learn more about the knife-making process can contact Todd at 662- 415-3831.

New York village trying birth control to try to trim deer herd The Associated Press

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This suburban village overlooking the Hudson River is a mere 2 square miles, home to a hip downtown, neighborhoods of neatly kept homes and an evergrowing population of deer that overrun woods, chew through gardens and cause more than a dozen car crashes a year.

Grasping for a way to control the deer with-

out hunting the animals, leaders of this village of 7,900 have proposed an ambitious compromise to shoot them up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not with bullets but with birth control.

Scientists and humane groups hope the program, which seeks to capture and inject female whitetailed deer with a contraceptive made from pigsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ovaries, can become a model for other places that are too congested or

compassionate to consider killing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hearing all about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kill Bambiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and all the jokes about deer condoms,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Peter Swiderski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are having their little chuckles. But deer have a pretty big negative effect on the community.â&#x20AC;?

Under the plan, which will begin this winter if approved by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, as many

as 90 percent of the does in Hastings will be tranquilized, inoculated with the contraceptive, then tagged and released. The deer population is estimated at up to 120, a density of 60 per square mile.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three times the deer density that some studies have tied to a decline in plant and animal species.

The goal is a 35 to 40 percent reduction in five years.

Stephanie Boyles Griffin, a senior director at the Humane Society of the United States, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are thousands of communities in the U.S. that are looking for alternative ways to manage the deer populations.â&#x20AC;?

If successful, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hastings would be the first open suburb in the U.S. to manage deer exclusively through the use of immunocontraception.â&#x20AC;?

The mayor said dozens of residents have volunteered to monitor deer numbers and travel patterns and measure landscape damage.

The mayor said he suspects most Hastings residents would support a killing program, but opponents could delay or sabotage it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m picturing kids on TV with signs that say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot the deer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said.

HONOLULU — Want to fly like George Jetson or Iron Man? Thrill-seekers eager to try the next new watersport are rushing to strap on jetpacks that propel people into the air with the help of pumped water. But the devices are meeting calls for regulation in Hawaii, where fishermen, scientists and state officials are questioning their safety and how they may affect fish and coral in the state’s heavily trafficked tropical waters.

A device called the Jetlev can lift a person 30 feet high by pumping water from a backpack through a hose connected to a small, unmanned boat. Another contraption called the Flyboard, which looks like a small snowboard attached to a hose, can propel riders

45 feet in the air. Promotional videos racking up millions of YouTube views show riders shooting out of the ocean into the sky, then diving back in the water like dolphins.

The devices are starting to show up for recreational rental in San Diego, Key West, Fla., and Cancun, Mexico.

But some in the Aloha State are far less enthusiastic about the machines.

Complaints from fishermen and other ocean enthusiasts prompted the state Department of Land and Natural Resources to call a public meeting about the devices last month.

The department’s top enforcement officer, Randy Awo, expressed alarm about unsafe maneuvers, such as riders dive-bombing into the water next to moving boats.

University of Hawaii coral scientist Bob Richmond told officials he was concerned about the noise the devices make, as fish avoid areas that are too loud. He’s also worried fish and coral larvae could get pumped through some of the equipment the watercraft use and die.

Fisherman Carl Jellings said watercraft already scare fish away from Oahu’s bays, and he worries these new machines will just add to the problem.

“More and more and more these bays are being run over, taken over by other activities. The marine life that depend on these places — they’re being displaced,” he said in an interview.

The state may find a way to accommodate the devices, perhaps in selected places, said William Aila, chairman of

the Board of Land and Natural Resources. But Aila said studies are needed examining how such watersports may affect fish and coral.

“When you look at it, it looks fairly exciting,” he said. “But you got to look beyond the excitement.”

Thom Hall, whose Salt Lake City company Rocky Mountain Flyboards has the rights to distribute the boards in Hawaii, said he wouldn’t object to regulations, so long as he has input.

“There’s room for this device to be used and be used in a responsible way,” Hall said.

Victor Verlage, a 51-year-old corporate executive who donned a Jetlev jetpack while visiting Honolulu from Mexico, compared it to kite surfing but said it’s “10 times better.”

“You feel the adrenaline rush,” he said.

Airport wedding clears final hurdle in Bay City The Associated Press

Tupelo — Fun will not only be the only thing in the air Sept. 13 and 14 at Ballard Park. The Up, Up and Away Hot Air Balloon Festival has activities for people of all ages. Admission is free with tickets/ armbands for games area.

The festival will include a variety of arts and crafts plus plenty of music and entertainment from bands like The Mink Brothers and Elvis Tribute Artist Jack Curtis. For the kids there are pony rides, video game trailer, petting zoo, a rock wall and more.

BAY CITY, Mich. — A couple’s months-long effort to hold their wedding at Bay City’s James Clements Airport has cleared a final hurdle.

Twenty-nine-yearold Karen Engle and 30-year-old Kevin Hol-

comb decided they wanted to hold the ceremony at the airport and discovered that getting the needed approvals was a long and challenging effort.

They found they needed Federal Aviation Administration permission,

as well as a state and city OK. MLive.com reports (http://bit.ly/16wz8vb ) the City Commission on Monday night approved a special events permit.

The ceremony could take place as soon as Saturday.

Holcomb says they’re

“absolutely ecstatic.” He took private flying lessons at the airport, inspiring Engle to suggest the airport venue.

Bay City is charging the couple $942 for airportrelated expenses, including use of the facility and security.

And they lived Happily Ever After......

Stars work without a script at TV conference

BY LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

— So, all you actors and other folks with TV shows to promote, what do you have to say for yourself?

Their proving ground was the just-ended Television Critics Association summer meeting, at which the TV industry paraded the stars and creators of next season’s fare to produce newspaper ink or blogs or tweets that might entice viewers to tune in.

It turned out some celebrities, familiar faces and new ones, can be charming, funny or impressively honest without a script. Here are some of the breakout moments, possible clues to the shows to look for in the 2013-14 season.

■ Michael J. Fox, patiently explaining that, yes, he has Parkinson’s disease and, yes, it’s OK to make his life with it part of his NBC sitcom. “It is what I deal with. It is my

reality and my life, but it’s not horrible. ... There’s nothing on the surface horrible about someone with a shaky hand.”

■ Jeff Garlin of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” fame, stealing the session for ABC’s “The Goldbergs” with good-natured, highdecibel razzing of reporters. “It’s very unsettling to be up here and have half of you playing poker,” he bellowed at reporters peering at their laptop screens.

■ The women of PBS’ “Downtown Abbey,” upstairs and downstairs.

Laura Carmichael, aka the downtrodden Lady Edith, dazzled in chic hair and dress as she proclaimed that in season four Edith would prove “the Carrie Bradshaw of the ‘20s.” On-screen servants Daisy, Mrs. Hughes and Anna, played respectively by Sophie McShera, Phyllis Logan and Joanne Froggatt, looked like a million bucks — or pounds — each.

Cryptoquip

“It is what I deal with. It is my reality and my life, but it’s not horrible. ... There’s nothing on the surface horrible about someone with a shaky hand.”

Michael J. Fox Actor ■ Robin Williams, politely sedate, until one reporter lit the fuse by comparing the star of CBS’ “The Crazy Ones” to a sad clown. Replied Williams, gleefully: “Especially a sad clown you wake up next (to) and go, ‘Oh, my God. What are those big feet doing in the bed?!’”

■ Tennis great Billie Jean King, winning skeptical media hearts with her candor and courage.

The first sports figure profiled on PBS’ “American Masters,” King, who fought for women’s rights on and off the court, said she overcame her self-described “homophobia” to

become comfortable as a lesbian in middle age.

■ Arsenio Hall, looking sharp and fit for his return to late-night television and sharing startling gossip about his competitors: Jay Leno offered contacts for writers on his staff who were forced out during layoffs, while Jimmy Kimmel wrote a check to support Hall’s charity when he won “Celebrity Apprentice” last year.

■ The cast and producers of Fox’s sitcom “Enlisted,” promising the show would be better than the pilot. The cast and producers of Fox’s sitcom “Dads,” slammed in early

reviews for being sexist, crass and more, promising much the same.

■ Spike Lee, playing video Boswell to Mike Tyson’s chipper Samuel Johnson as the pair touted the boxer’s oneman stage show coming to HBO. Tyson said he couldn’t wait to perform each night and “just like in a fight, I wanted to kill everybody in the room — by my performance, of course.” Some kidder.

■ Collectively, the pintsized charmers of Fox’s “MasterChef Junior,” who took the sting out of tough guy Gordon Ramsay. “He can’t be really mean because, like, we’re kids,” one of them explained, then corrected Ramsay’s claim he never swore. “Twice,” she said.

■ The joy of British wit, as exemplified by Max Irons when asked about his nudity in Starz’ “The White Queen” series and how dad Jeremy Irons may react. “I’d refer him to his back catalog,” Irons

said, alluding to the elder Irons’ explicit sex scenes in films including 1988’s “Dead Ringers.”

■ The joy of British charm, courtesy of London cabbie Tony Walker, among the group whose lives have been chronicled by filmmaker Michael Apted in his “Up” series, with “56 Up,” the latest chapter on PBS. Whether explaining “reluctantly and with respect” that he’s never watched “Downton Abbey,” or describing his up-by-the-bootstraps life, Walker was a winner.

■ Wit, American superhero style: Co-creator and executive producer Jed Whedon, explaining how ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” can maintain the high production standards of the pilot: “In future we will use coupons.”

Reality television meets real world, ‘Mountain Man’ style

BY ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer

TRIPLETT, N.C. — The way Eustace Conway sees it, there’s the natural world, as exemplified by his Turtle Island Preserve in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And then there’s the “plastic, imitation” world that most other humans inhabit.

But the border between the two has always been porous — uncomfortably so these days.

When Conway — known today as a star of the History Channel reality show “Mountain Men” — bought his first 107 acres in 1987, his vision for Turtle Island was as “a tiny bowl in the earth, intact and natural, surrounded by pavement and highways.” People peering inside from nearby ridges would see “a pristine and green example of what the whole world once looked like.”

Since leaving his parents’ suburban home at 17 and moving into the woods, Conway has been preaching the gospel of sustainable, “primitive” living. But over the past three decades, those notions have clearly evolved.

Conway has ditched his trademark buckskins for jeans and T-shirts. Visitors to Turtle Island are as likely to hear the buzz of a chain saw as the call of an eagle, and interns learn that “Dumpster diving” is as important a skill as hunting or fishing.

And then there are the TV cameras, which he’s used to convey his message of simpler living for two seasons of “Mountain Men” — a role he concedes is inherently oxymoronic.

“I think television’s terrible,” the 52-year-old woodsman says with a chuckle that shakes his long, iron-grey beard and braids. “So it’s definitely a paradox.”

But it’s all part of a complex dance. For Conway and Turtle Island, sustainability has come to depend on interns and apprentices, and on taxexempt status from a regulatory system he openly despises.

It also depends, increasingly, on a steady stream of paying campers. And that is where Conway’s peaceful coexistence with the “modern world” broke down.

Acting on a complaint about alleged improper building, officials from the Watauga County Planning and Inspection Department raided Turtle Island last fall and found

dozens of structures without required permits. Citing numerous potential health and safety code violations, the county attorney gave Conway three options: Bring the buildings up to minimum state standards, have an expert certify that they already met code and obtain proper permits, or tear them down.

What ensued was more than just a battle of government versus an individual. It was also very much about the lines between what is real and what is “reality.”

er connections. All of the buildings were constructed mostly of wood milled on site, not the marked, graded lumber required in the building codes.

Solar panels run the equipment in Conway’s little office, and a microhydroelectric plant installed by students from Appalachian State’s Appropriate Technology Program powers a small workshop. Inspectors say they found wiring and junction boxes that were not up to code.
