For two decades the Crossroads Center for Emotional Care has served as a beacon of hope for those suffering from mental and emotional disorders in Alcorn County and throughout the region. The center, located at Magnolia Regional Health Center, will celebrate 20 years of caring for those struggling to deal with these types of issues with a reception this Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the hospital’s conference center. The Crossroads Center opened its doors on Sept. 4, 1992, as the result of a vision by the hospital's administrators to create a facility to provide psychiatric care for the people of the region. “We had four patients that day,” said the center’s director, Gordon Crowe. Crowe has been with the center since that first day and seen first hand how the existence of a full-service psychiatric unit has helped save and improve the lives of those dealing with psychiatric illnesses. She said the greatest value of the center lies in providing access to care for a population that often struggles to find resources to get the care they need.
“I think that we give our patients excellent care. We’re able to see them improve and get better and go out in the community and live their lives,” she said. Since the Crossroads Center opened in 1992 they've served 7,800 in-patient admissions and answered nearly 20,000 calls for assistance or referrals, said Community Education Director Dana Jenkins. The center is a 19-bed, fullservice psychiatric treatment unit serving patients 18-yearold and older dealing with a variety of psychiatric illnesses and disorders including depression, psychosis, anxiety and chronic mental illness. The serve both voluntary and involuntary admissions. Jenkins said they use a team approach to make sure patients receive the best possible care - bringing together medical doctors and nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, social workers, activity therapists and others to treat all aspects of the person’s condition. The center’s location at MRHC provides a unique resource by giving the staff the ability to consult with other medical specialists and provide additional medical care for ongoing issues (such as

Actress Shari Rigby will visit Corinth as keynote speaker for the Celebrating Life Banquet, hosted by Oasis Medical Center — formerly Resource Center for Women. The Oct. 23 event is the center's biggest fundraiser of the year. “After seeing October Baby with its powerful theme of forgiveness and hearing Shari give her story during the credits, I immediately thought how wonderful it would be for her to speak at our banquet,” said Oasis Medical Center Executive Director Martha Jobe. Rigby plays the birth mother in October Baby, a role she said parallels her personal life and was transformational for her. “What everyone sees on Please see OASIS | 2A

McNairy sheriff reflects on Pusser’s legacy BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
McNairy Count Sheriff Guy Buck recently spoke to a tour group that traveled to Corinth and McNairy County to learn more about the legendary and controversial Sheriff Buford Pusser. The purpose of the tour was to hold up the Pusser legend — as presented by Hollywood movies and Pusser’s authorized biography — to the findings of the tour’s leader, Mike Elam, a former law enforcement officer from northwest Arkansas. Buck spoke to the group in the upstairs courtroom of the McNairy County Courthouse, the building that served as the headquarters for the county’s law enforcement until the construction of a new justice center in 1994. The McNairy County Sheriff was quick to point out that the purpose of his
talk was not to denigrate his famous predecessor. “Nobody ever said they thought the movie was the factual version of his life,� said Buck. “I’m not here to bash him.� The current McNairy County Sheriff said he was a child when he first became aware of Pusser, seeing the legendary sheriff on a Channel 7 talk show promoting one of the movies made about his exploits. The sheriff agreed that the Pusser era was at the very least a very colorful period of McNairy County’s history, but he pointed out there were other controversial McNairy County sheriffs. “Clifford Coleman was probably the most ruthless sheriff who ever lived,� Buck pointed out. Coleman was sheriff of McNairy County from 1956 until 1962, and again from 1970 to 1974.

the lawman’s penchant for self-promotion. “If Buford did nothing else, he was really good at self-promotion — that’s why you’re here today,� Buck told the group. “I don’t know how a man in the ‘60s was able to self-promote like he did. There was no internet. There were very few people in McNairy County who died and the news went across the nation. Love him, hate him, whatever you want to do — he was larger than life. The media loved him. He went to Buckingham Palace, places McNairy Countians don’t often get a chance to go.� Also discussed by the McNairy County sheriff, were some of the differences between Pusser’s time in office and his own. Back in the Pusser days, the great challenge was combatting the moonshiners and bootleggers.
The major problem today is drugs — specifically methamphetamine. Buck said his office discovers over 150 meth labs in McNairy County each year. “Meth dominates our efforts,� said the sheriff. “In the last couple years shake-and-bake has inundated our county with the production of meth.� The sheriff said he’d love to see McNairy County embrace the law enforcement community because of Buford Pusser’s name. “Not just for a Buford Pusser festival, but a law enforcement festival,� said Buck. “You’d be amazed how many people say the reason they are in law enforcement is because they saw the movie from 1972. If nothing else it’s a great thing for law enforcement, a very positive image of a good guy going against the bad guys.�

McPeters has always been more than willing to help out local photographers who are interested in photographing the colorful subject as evidenced by the number of entries of him over the years. “I was amazed at the number of participants the photo contest had this year,� said museum director Brandy Steen. “The
quality of photographs were wonderful considering this is an amateur competition.� Benjamin has always wanted to enter the contest. “I always missed the deadline,� she said. “I did it on a whim this year and was just glad they arrived on time.� Her longing for home drew Benjamin into finally entering. “I missed Corinth and thought this was something I would like to do after seeing the call for entries,� she said. Photographers could enters photos in the seven divisions of Architectural Landscapes, Natural
Landscapes, People, Pets/ Animals, Blossoms, Vacations and Digitally Edited. A reception to announce the winners was held last Sunday at the museum. “The judges had a tough time and I am proud of them for the choices they made,� added Steen. The Best of Show winner has been shooting since a youngster. “My parents gave me my first camera at seven and it’s been close ever since,� said the winner, who has studied photography at Memphis College of Arts and Northeast Mississippi Community College.

Lauvell Leatherwood Steen
On August 21, 1915, Lauvell Leatherwood was born to C.V. and Sallie Leatherwood at home in Olive Hill, Tenn. Weighing only two pounds, she survived against all odds at a time when it was nothing less than miracle. The Lord gave her 97 wonderful years to enjoy on this earth before He took her home September 14, 2012. Lauvell grew up in Ramer, Tenn. before she met and married Harry Steen in January 1942. On their wedding day, he was called to serve in World War II and began active duty four months later. When Harry had been overseas for three years, Lauvell promised the Lord that if Harry returned safely, she would always love him and never argue with him. That was a promise she kept for 64 years. Their children were blessed with having a mother and father who were the true ““Ozzie and Harriet”� parents who never showed anything but love, devotion, and spiritual guidance throughout

their lives. ““Memama”â€? was known for being one of the best cooks in Alcorn County and her kitchen was always open to everyone. Her biscuits would ďƒ&#x;oat and her rum cakes were famous. Even in the 1950s, the hobos had the railroad marked for others to know that you could always get a meal on her back porch steps. She was a longtime member of Tate Baptist Church. She loved her church and was devoted to her church family.

Along with forgiveness, Rigby believes moviegoers have been strengthened by October Baby's messages of hope, healing, and endurance. ““It's really incredible to hear the stories, mainly from women but a lot of men too …‌ it's just amazing,”â€? she said. Compared to twenty years ago, the actress believes women today have more information available to them as they are coping with a crisis pregnancy. ““There is more counseling, talking, and sharing,”â€? said the keynote speaker. ““We didn't have that. The only thing we had was a phone book to get out and look for a counselor.

Our View Run with Rotary event remains worthwhile cause On your mark, get set, have some fun and help raise funds for a good local cause. Those words might not be spoken at the start of the Austin’s Shoes Run with Rotary 5K set for Saturday, Oct. 6, but they certainly could be. The race can be a competitive event for the serious runner, a jog or walk for the not-so-serious type trying to stay in shape, or simply a leisurely 3.1-mile walk for anyone. There’s even a one-mile fun run. Whatever the case, it’s a growing community 4th annual event put on by the Corinth Rotary Club to raise money for many local civic projects. Thanks to Austin’s Shoes sponsorship and many participants, the 5K race has raised almost $50,000 the past three years for worthy causes and projects sponsored by Rotarians. Last year, 262 took part in the 5K. Rotarians are optimistic even more will take part this year. Registration for the 5K and 1-mile fun run can be completed by going to www.rotary5k.com. Registration forms can also be picked up at Cooley and Labas Financial Advisors on 409 Cruise Street and at Austin’s Shoes located on 1792 Highway 72. Cost for the 5K is $25 until Sept. 30 and $30 after the deadline. Package pickup for pre-registered participants will be available on Friday, Sept. 30, from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at SOUTHBank downtown. Entry fee for the fun run is $10. Racy day registration will be in the SOUTHBank lobby from 7-8 a.m. The race begins next to SOUTHBank and takes runners through the shaded streets of the older residential neighborhoods of Corinth. Runners will finish adjacent to Fillmore Street Chapel. We encourage everyone to take part in this worthwhile event. If running or walking isn’t your cup or tea or there are limitations, find a way to help out and volunteer. With Hog Wild going on later in the day on Oct. 6, the Run with Rotary is a good start to a great day in Corinth. See you there ... Daily Corinthian

Public pension issues likely to resurface in state STARKVILLE — In great measure, the current public pension reform battles underway in California and Ohio are battles that have already been fought in Mississippi, but the pension war is likely to continue. In Ohio, GOP Gov. John Kasich is expected to sign five bills adopted by the Ohio Legislature that will mean increased pension contributions down the line for teachers, cops and firefighters. The bills also raise retirement eligibility ages, set new guidelines for costof-living adjustments and establish a new formula to calculate benefits. Each of Ohio’s five retirement systems will undergo a unique combination of adjustments. In California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed pension reform legislation this week that will likewise raise the retirement age and raise contributions rates plus cap retirement benefits. In 2012, Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, New York, South Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming all enacted substantial state pension system reforms. According

Revenue for the PERS system comes from three primary sources — investment income, employer contributions (paid by the taxpayers) and employee contributions (deducted from the pay of state employees participating in the PERS plans). Former Gov. Haley Barbour appointed a 12-member study commission to evaluate PERS and recommend improvements that would streamline its organization and funding mechanisms. That action came in the wake of 2010 changes to the system by the Legislature that saw employee contributions raised from 7.25 percent to 9 percent, retirement eligibility was increased from 25 to 30 years for individuals hired on or after July 1, 2011, and the overall benefit formula was reduced for individuals hired on or after July 1, 2011. Pension reform is a grow-
ing national issue and Mississippi is not immune to the problems inherent in public pension systems. In 2011, state lawmakers backed away from the issue during an election year in which retirees and public employees politicized the issue. But it is unlikely that the issue won’t require legislative intervention as it has in some many other states. As in Ohio and California, the partisan divide has little to do with the pension reform issue. Pension reform isn’t a political problem, it’s a math problem. The long recession with low rates of return on investments have combined with the rush of Baby Boomers to retirement age create a problems exacerbated in Mississippi by the fact that past legislatures raised state employee retirement benefits without providing a funding mechanism while simultaneously failing to set aside funds sufficient to meet future retiree health care benefits.

Romney was right to talk about important stuff
Dear God, we are often perplexed. Let us trust you to work in our lives for good. Amen.
A verse to share
to the National Conference of State Legislatures, six of the seven states that Sid Salter enacted maColumnist jor legislation in 2012 had already undertaken pension reform in the past three years. Since 2009, 45 states that have enacted pension reforms and some have taken up reform efforts more than once. Mississippi has already undertaken state pension reform in recent years, but expect the issue to return unless there is a swift and dramatic turnaround in the national economy. But with an unfunded liability of more than $11 billion and an economy that still not growing, it’s virtually a certainty that lawmakers will at some point have to revisit the politically unpopular issue. Founded in 1952, PERS originally provided full retirement benefits to state workers when they had reached full Social Security retirement age. PERS is a
When a U.S. embassy gets stormed by protesters overseas, it’s usually a matter of public concern. And it might even occasion debate between presidential candidates. Unless one of the candidates is President Barack Obama and the other is Mitt Romney. Then, everything changes. In the immediate aftermath of the deadly attacks on U.S. diplomatic installations in Egypt and Libya, the political debate fastened on the propriety of Romney criticizing the administration for its initial response. You know, the important stuff. The glowing media reports from earlier this week about how President Obama would use foreign policy as a cudgel against Romney had barely faded when the press pack turned around and declared politics must stop at the water’s edge, thank you very much. The old complaint about Romney was that he didn’t talk about foreign policy; the newly minted complaint about Romney was that he did talk about foreign policy.

Terry Jones — the embassy in Cairo released a statement that was craven and Rich dumb. It reLowery buked “the continuing National by Review efforts misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.” The first thing to say about this is that it shamefully aped the reasoning of efforts to restrict free speech in order to protect Muslim sensibilities. The second is that it failed to appease the mob. American-hating thugs usually don’t check out the websites of their targets on the off chance that something posted there might dissuade them from trying to burn the place down. The embassy reaffirmed its statement via Twitter even after protesters had stormed the compound. At one point the embassy had to tweet, pathetically, “Of course we condemn breaches of our compound, we’re the ones actually living through this.” These people work for the world’s lone superpower? Late that night, Romney condemned the thorough-
ly condemnable embassy press release. In a rapid confirmation of Romney’s wisdom in doing so, the White House threw the embassy’s statement under the bus. But reporters and liberal pundits reacted in collective horror at Romney’s temerity. No one should get the vapors over Romney’s critique. Matters of war and peace are inherently political. Does anyone remember the Vietnam War? I’m sure Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon would have loved a rule that put debating it off-limits. Instead, anti-war protesters and politicians are still lionized. In 1980, the foreignpolicy debate didn’t stop because Americans were held hostage in Tehran. Nor did it stop in 2004 because Americans were fighting in Iraq. One of John Kerry’s ads included the graphic: “2 Americans beheaded just this week.” The embassy attacks shine a light on our deteriorating position in the broader Middle East. The signature Obama foreignpolicy success has been killing people -- Osama bin Laden with a Special Forces raid and a bunch of other al-Qaida terrorists with drones. If that could

be the sum total of U.S. foreign policy, we’d be in fine shape. We’re not. Relations with Israel are poisonous. We lost an ally in Egypt, and the revolution there may yet prove Iran 1979 redux. Iraq is sliding into the orbit of Tehran and perhaps back into chaos. Iran is closer to a nuclear weapon. We have made progress in the Afghanistan War but may throw it away with an arbitrary withdrawal, and the Pakistanis hate us more than ever. This is not the record of a modern-day Metternich. Some of this is the president’s fault, some of it is the drift of events. But none of it serves to vindicate Obama’s initial theory that as long as we sound soothing enough, pressure Israel to make concessions and end our wars, the Middle East will enfold us in its warm embrace. If this isn’t the time to talk about this record, when is the right time? For the press, politics doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. It stops wherever is most convenient for Obama’s re-election campaign. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

State MDOT building dedicated to former Speaker McCoy BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — Officials dedicated the Mississippi Department of Transportation headquarters in downtown Jackson on Friday as the William J. “Billy” McCoy Building, honoring a former state House speaker who was instrumental in passing a highway construction program early in his career. McCoy, a Yellow Dog Democrat from the northeast Mississippi hill
country town of Rienzi, served in the House from January 1980 until January 2012, holding a seat once held by his father. He was elected by his colleagues as speaker, the chamber’s presiding officer, for the final eight years. McCoy didn’t seek reelection to the Legislature in 2011 and he has remained out of politics since leaving the Capitol. He attended the ceremony Friday with his wife, Edith; their children and five grandchildren.
“I can look out and see his accomplishments from my house.” Rep. Bo Eaton About 100 other people were also there, including former Gov. William Winter and many of McCoy’s friends and neighbors who drove more than three hours from Rienzi. Rep. Bo Eaton, D-Taylorsville, who has served in the House since 1996, said McCoy worked hard

to improve highways and schools. “I can look out and see his accomplishments from my house,” Eaton said. Republican Dick Hall, the Central District transportation commissioner, served with McCoy in the House in 1987, when the Legislature overrode a
veto of then-Gov. Bill Allain to enact a program that increased the fuel tax by 3.6 cents a gallon to fund construction of hundreds of miles of four-lane highways. “It was Billy McCoy’s leadership that made that happen,” Hall said. McCoy was vice chairman of the House Transportation Committee at the time, and he traveled the state to persuade local leaders that better highways would boost Mississippi’s economy, Hall said.
The 10-story MDOT building, which opened in the mid-1990s, faces the western side of the state Capitol. The 2011 Legislature voted to name the MDOT building for McCoy and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency building for Republican Gov. Haley Barbour, who led the state’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina. The MEMA building, in Pearl, was dedicated in January, before Barbour left office at the end of his second term.

Deputy's gear winds up in photo BAY ST. LOUIS — A parttime Hancock County deputy has been questioned about leaving his service revolver, duty belt and uniform shirt unattended at a restaurant, where a young woman put them on and posed for a picture. Sheriff Ricky Adam said the deputy had left the gear in an area designated only for employees, and was unaware that it had been moved. The SunHerald reports that the woman had posed for the picture for the business owner after the restaurant had closed for the evening. Adam said Friday that investigators believe the deputy was not present and the gun was not loaded when the picture
was taken more than two months ago. The deputy hasn't done work for the sheriff's office in the past 11⁄2 months. His name has not been released. Adam said an internal investigation began Friday after he received a copy of the picture. “Good, bad or indifferent, we are going to investigate anything that appears to involve inappropriate conduct or policy violations,” Adam said. “We're not going to cover anything up.” The picture shows a woman wearing the deputy's uniform shirt and the duty belt, with a holstered gun, cinched around her waist. In the background are tables with checkered cloths and what appears to be a bar area. He said the woman is 21 or 22. “I don't have a problem with reprimands if a situation calls for it,” Adam
said. “Ultimately, officers are responsible for keeping their guns and gear secure.”
Grace period planned for Oxford parkers OXFORD — A 30-day educational period will begin Oct. 22 in Oxford where new parking regulations will take effect. Officials tell the Oxford Eagle that no tickets for overtime parking will be given to violators. Instead, Standard Parking ambassadors, who were hired last month by the board aldermen to manage parking around the Square, will give out informational “tickets” only that will explain the new laws. Tickets for other parking violations, such as parking in handicapped spaces or loading zones, will continue throughout the 30-day period.

Groom sentenced before wedding Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — A judge sentenced an Oklahoma man to four years in federal prison on a firearm charge — then minutes later performed a marriage ceremony to wed the new inmate and his girlfriend.
Thursday was a busy day for Larry Austin and Dustie Trojack. First they obtained their marriage license, then Austin pleaded guilty to the firearm charge and was sentenced by Judge Jerry Bass. Shortly afterward, Bass married the happy couple.

Feds investigate police car steering DETROIT— Government safety regulators are investigating Ford's Crown Victoria police cars due to complaints about defective steering columns. The probe affects about 195,000 cars from the 2005 through 2008 model years. The government has received three complaints that part of the steering column can separate and cause loss of steering control. No crashes or injuries were reported, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Saturday on its website. Investigators will determine if the cars have a safety defect and whether a recall is needed. So far the vehicles haven't been recalled. Ford spokeswoman Susan Krusel said that the company is aware of the investigation and is cooperating. The problem only affects police versions of the Crown Victoria, she said. The Crown Victoria had been the police car of choice in the U.S. for 15 years before Ford Motor Co. stopped making it at the end of 2011. The Dearborn, Mich. company controlled 70 percent of the police car market and averaged sales of 50,000 per year. NHTSA said in the doc-
uments that two of the complaints involved police cars and one affected a local government vehicle. In all three cases, the steering column separations happened at low speeds. One complaint said steering effort increased just before the separation. The government also has received 10 complaints that inspections found steering columns that were about to separate. In one complaint, the driver reported that when the steering column separated, there was no mechanical connection to the front wheels.
Neil Armstrong buried at sea WASHINGTON — The first man to walk on the moon has been buried at sea. NASA says Neil Armstrong's cremated remains were buried in the Atlantic Ocean on Friday during a ceremony aboard the USS Philippine Sea. Armstrong was a Navy fighter pilot before joining the space program. He died last month in Ohio at age 82. His burial follows a memorial service in Washington on Thursday. NASA photographs show Armstrong's widow, Carol Armstrong, accepting a folded American flag during the ceremony, which NASA said included a bugler and a rifle salute.
The space agency didn't give the location of the ceremony. The ship's homeport is Mayport, Fla.
US rushes spies, drones to Libya WASHINGTON — The U.S. is sending more spies, Marines and drones to Libya, trying to speed the search for those who killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, but the investigation is complicated by a chaotic security picture in the post-revolutionary country and limited American and Libyan intelligence resources. The CIA has fewer people available to send, stretched thin from tracking conflicts across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Much of the team dispatched to Libya during the revolution had been sent onward to the Syrian border, U.S. officials say. And the Libyans have barely re-established full control of their country, much less rebuilt their intelligence service, less than a year after the overthrow of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The U.S. has already deployed an FBI investigation team, trying to track al-Qaida sympathizers thought to be responsible for turning a demonstration over an anti-Islamic video into a violent, coordinated militant attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
Obama makes fresh push on economy BY JULIE PACE AND STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press
BOSTON — Sensing an opening on the economy, President Barack Obama launched an aggressive new effort Saturday to convince voters in the most competitive states that Republican rival Mitt Romney is risky for the nation's recovery with a plan that caters to multimillionaires over the middle class. “They want to go back to the same old policies that got us in trouble in the first place,” former President Bill Clinton is shown saying in the 60-second TV ad set to run in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia. “We're not going back, we are moving forward,” Obama adds in the commercial. Romney doesn't agree, and says the U.S. is not better off after nearly four years of Obama's leadership of a nation with the unemployment rate stubbornly stuck around 8 percent. The new Obama push, coupled with ads this past week by both candidates squaring off over China's impact on the U.S. economy, comes seven weeks
before Election Day, and as polls point to modest gains for the president following the national political conventions. Both campaigns say they expect the race to be decided by eight or nine states. Romney, a former business executive who argues that only he can fix the sluggish economy, was taking Saturday off from campaigning. He was trying to refocus his campaign on the economy after a difficult week dominated by foreign policy, a vulnerability, in the wake of unrest at U.S. embassies. At the same time, Romney is working to reassure concerned conservatives that he has a winning strategy that relies partly on strong performances at next month's debates. He also was finalizing plans to make an aggressive push to try to narrow Obama's advantage among women and Hispanics. The president was in Washington this weekend keeping tabs on the situation in the Middle East following the deaths of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. While he, too, had no plans to campaign this
weekend, he also was keeping his eye on winning a second term. The ad, 60 seconds long and airing in seven states, is an expensive and expansive effort by Obama to gain the upper hand on the economy, Romney's strength, at a time when voters are reporting feeling slightly more optimistic that the president's policies are helping. Polls in several of the most contested states show the president with a slight edge. Also, a new national survey by The New York Times and CBS News finds that Romney has lost his longstanding edge on the question of who voters view as most likely to restore the economy and create jobs. Despite that, the poll found the race narrowly divided. Obama's new ad features snippets from both presidents' convention speeches and serves as a rebuttal to Romney's argument that the nation is not better off than it was four years ago. It highlights news reports from September 2008 that describe the “worst financial collapse since the Great Depression” and says that, since then, the country has seen 30 months of
FAMILY CARE
private-sector job growth resulting in 4.6 million new jobs. It argues that Obama would ask “millionaires to pay a little more” — it doesn't mention that would come through a tax increase — while Romney wants “a new $250,000 tax break for multimillionaires.” “We're not there yet, but the real question is, whose plan is better for you?” the ad asks. Expect to hear the same argument this week as Obama holds rallies in Ohio on Monday, a fundraiser in New York on Tuesday and a two-city Florida swing on Thursday. The president is also expected to campaign next weekend in Wisconsin, the home state of GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan and one that Romney is working to turn competitive. Romney is set to campaign in Colorado on Sunday before Monday appearances in California and Texas. He'll spend Wednesday and Thursday campaigning in Florida. Both candidates will appear separately at a forum this week hosted by the influential Hispanic television outlet Univision.

STARKVILLE — The dinosaur laid her eggs in well-ordered rows on the high ground adjacent to the river while volcanoes exploded in the distance and ash wafted in the breeze. The herbivorous hadrosaur could not know the river would flood and her clutch would be buried in river sand and volcanic ash for the next 65 to 70 million years. The eggs that weren't crushed or swept away hardened into fossils. In 2002, John Paul Jones found a clutch with four dinosaur eggs fused to a stone that was once soil. During the next 10 years, Jones' desire to answer questions about the eggs took him to Mississippi State University, where the geosciences doctoral degree candidate continues his quest. The eggs, part of Jones' personal collection, are on display each Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Dunn-Seiler Geology Museum, located at the main entrance of Hilbun Hall. Jones, also a graduate assistant lecturer, said he wants to answer visitors' questions and show them the museum's collections. Jones noted that the study of the dinosaur
a skull, if one remains inside the eggs, he said. But cutting into the fossil is not an option. “If you cut into them, as so many people have wanted to do, then you've damaged the egg beyond repair. You do get direct access, but you've destroyed the bones,� he explained. Modern 21st century technology, though, is allowing Jones to move closer to seeing what exactly is inside the eggs without damaging the specimens. MSU geoscientist and professor Brenda Kirkland recently advised Jones to scan the fossil with the LightSpeed VCT 64-Slice CT Scanner, a research tool accessible through a partnership between MSU's Institute for Imaging and Analytical Technologies and Premier Imaging of Starkville. The high resolution CT scanner took thousands of 2D X-rays around a single axis of the dinosaur eggs to generate a 3D image of them. “This way, you've preserved the egg and as the technology continues to improve, the eggs will still be there without destroying the sample. Plus I get to look at the specimens whole. They are beautiful,� Jones said. In mid-August, a few days before the fall 2012
eggs fossil ties directly to the mission and purpose of the museum, which is open Tuesdays-Thursdays, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and Fridays, 9 a.m.-noon. In fact, he hopes to include the dinosaur eggs in his dissertation research, which is focused on how increased public understanding of fossils contributes to geoscience education. “My fossils tie in with our museum,� he explained. “Here we have a lot of fossils -- minerals, rocks, meteorites, volcanic rock and fossils that date back from about 10,000 years ago. We have some fossils that people can touch and handle, and a whole wall on Mississippi.� Because of the eggs' location, size and shape, as well as their position in the nest and other artifacts in the vicinity, Jones decided they are most likely some type of hadrosaur -- duck-billed, social, herbivorous dinosaurs that were among the most common and widespread dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. However, which species of hadrosaur is inside the eggs remains Jones' biggest question. The only way to identify it will be to examine
semester began, Robin Luke, technologist and Premier Health Complex facilities director, scanned the eggs and generated more than 10,000 images. The image data sets are being filtered according to density and may offer Jones the answers he's been waiting for. “We already confirmed that there was an embryo and parts of an embryo inside. In one of the eggs, it appears that there is a skull, and the shape of that skull may be a great help in identifying the species,� Jones said. While he acknowledged that interpreting the data sets will take time, Jones went on to hypothesize the eggs might be the species parasaurolophus, hadrosaurs with huge hollow crests used to make warning sounds or mating calls. If Jones is correct, the skulls inside the eggs would have crests. “We've got to look at the higher intensity scans to get through the dense rock,� he explained. Jones' quest to unearth more knowledge about the dinosaur eggs and other fossils is giving him the tools he needs to help others get excited about learning science and history, he said.
MSU research reels in success for fisheries BY LACI KYLES MSU Forest and Wildlife Research Center
STARKVILLE — Mississippi has some of the best fisheries in the nation, and Mississippi State University researchers are working to keep the threatened species in them from disappearing. Peter Allen, assistant professor of aquatic sciences, conducts research on the fisheries that provide food and fun for Mississippians. He works at MSU’s South Farm Aquaculture Facility, a joint venture of the Forest and Wildlife Research Center and the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. Allen is an expert in how fish adapt to environmental changes. His work includes projects on paddlefish, alligator gar, catfish and other species. With 204 native fish species, only four other states rank higher than Mississippi in types of freshwater fish. “The paddlefish is a native species with a lot of potential in Mississippi,� Allen said. “This species is a boneless fish and produces tasty caviar.� The paddlefish has a long, spatula-shaped snout that is longer than the rest of its head. Human constructions such as dams, water control structures and water diversions have caused paddlefish populations to decline. Paddlefish are sensitive to changes in water quality, Allen said. MSU researchers are examining how much oxygen paddlefish need and how the fish adapt to low oxygen levels. The scientists hope to use the information to develop management suggestions for Mississippi fisheries operators. Like paddlefish, the alligator gar is sensitive to changes in water quality, and population numbers are decreasing. A dual row of large teeth in the
university in the state examining the potential for inland saltwater fish production facilities. “The Gulf of Mexico oil spill and extensive harvest have diminished the populations of these fish,� said Bruce Leopold, head of MSU’s Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture. “This research could provide opportunities for existing aquacul-
upper jaw and an elongated snout give this fish its alligator-like appearance. The alligator gar is one of the largest freshwater fish found in North America. “We are trying to get a better understanding of the alligator gar’s early life history,� Allen said. “This research is needed to provide long-term management strategies for the remaining populations in Mississippi and to guide reintroduction efforts in Mississippi and elsewhere.� Allen and others are researching how channel and hybrid catfish react to high temperatures and climate change. “We are trying to understand how increasing temperatures may affect different strains of catfish and what genes contribute to the health of these fish at high temperatures,� Allen said. Determining the best type of catfish to produce in Mississippi’s climate will assist catfish production, a $222 million industry in the state. One of the newest fish to be studied is the killifish, an important baitfish on Mississippi’s coast. MSU is the only
ture facilities to enhance their production.� The research at Mississippi State University is vital to protecting the state’s resources, Leopold added. “Understanding these fish species allows us to protect and enhance their populations and maintain the recreation opportunities and sustenance they provide,� Allen said.

Bumphis’ 3 TDs help MSU top Troy Associated Press
TROY, Ala. — Tyler Russell and Chad Bumphis hooked up on touchdown passes of 72, 58 and 25 yards to help lead Mississippi State to a 3024 victory over Troy on Saturday night. The Bulldogs (3-0) finished their scoring with Bumphis’s 25-yarder at the back of the end zone on fourth-and-4 with 7:00 left. That proved enough
in the latest Sun Belt scare against a Southeastern Conference team. The Trojans (1-2) stayed within striking distance with Will Scott’s 40-yard field goal three minutes later in Troy’s first time hosting an SEC team. LaDarius Perkins, who gained 179 yards on 23 carries, helped the Bulldogs run out the clock. It was a game of milestones for Dan Mullen’s team.
Mississippi State is off to its first 3-0 start since 1999 and has won 13 consecutive nonconference games. Bumphis became the first Mississippi State player to catch three touchdown passes since Sammy Milner did it against Florida in 1969. He had six catches for a career-high 180 yards. It’s the first time the Bulldogs have had a 175-yard rusher and
receiver in a game. The Trojans didn’t go quietly with a school-record 29,013 fans envisioning an upset a la Louisiana-Monroe-Arkansas a week ago and Western Kentucky over Kentucky. Both offenses pretty much had their way. Troy outgained Mississippi State 572-457 but committed Please see STATE | 9A
No. 18 Gators rally to defeat No. 23 Vols Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jeff Driskel threw a pair of touchdown passes and Trey Burton rushed for two more scores as No. 18 Florida scored the final 24 points to beat No. 23 Tennessee 37-20 on Saturday night and run its winning streak in the series to eight straight. Gators coach Will Muschamp said there’s a “nightand-day” difference in the
toughness of this year’s Florida team. “I’m really proud of our effort, coming on the road two weeks in a row,” Muschamp said. “We were really poised at halftime again, no bickering (or) finger-pointing, just doing what we needed to do to get this thing going.” Mike Gillislee ran for 115 yards to lead a 336-yard rushing effort for the Gators (3-0, 2-0 Southeastern Confer-
ence), who have outrushed Tennessee in each game of the streak. Burton added 91 rushing yards on only three carries and Driskel ran for 81 yards on eight attempts. Tennessee (2-1, 0-1) seemed intent on ending the streak for much of the night in front of a sellout crowd at Neyland Stadium. The Vols led 20-13 and had a chance to take a double-digit advantage midway through
the third quarter after an unsuccessful Florida fake punt attempt gave the Vols possession at the Gators’ 47-yard line. Tennessee failed to capitalize and ended up punting into the end zone. Florida dominated from that point on. No. 1 Alabama 52, Arkansas 0 — Eddie Lacy ran for three touchdowns and the Please see SEC | 9A

ter. A pair of scores in the fourth expanded a 13-7 lead. Mike Mattox’s club finishes non-division play at 3-2. The Blue Devils are open next week before beginning Division 1-3A play at home against Alcorn Central on Sept. 28. ■ At Hatley, Adam Carter’s 18-yard run in the first quarter accounted for all the scoring as Central beat the Tigers 6-0 in non-division action.

four turnovers in the first half, leading to 20 points for the Bulldogs. Russell, the reigning SEC offensive player of the week, completed 11 of 26 passes for 244 yards and the three touchdowns. Corey Robinson directed the Trojans’ fast-paced offense by going 32-of-45 passing for 343 yards. He was intercepted twice by Darius Slay, who has four picks in three games. Shawn Southward rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns. The Trojans kept answering against a defense that had given up 10 points total in the first two games. Justin Albert cut through a sizable hole in the line for a careerlong 31-yard touchdown with 12:40 left to cut Mississippi State’s lead to 23-21. The Trojans had been down 23-7 before Southward’s 3-yard score late in the third. While Robinson pecked away with largely short passes, Russell feasted on the big play and avoided mistakes. He had 10 yards passing before Bumphis took a screen pass 72 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter. Devon Bell’s missed extra point left the Bulldogs’ lead at 16-7. Russell found Bumphis streaking by himself down the field for the 58-yarder on the first play after Slay’s second interception. He hung in there in the face of an incoming blitz before launching the long ball.

Turkey survey gives season insight
Animals in the Afternoon
Staff photo by Steve Beavers
Gracie Vickers pets one of the animals in the petting zoo at the Alcorn County Fair. The petting zoo stayed busy throughout the final day of the fair on Saturday.
I’ve had several outdoorsmen tell me they’ve seen quite a few of hen turkeys leading young poults around this summer, which suggests the area’s turkey flock had a better than usual hatch. Recent information released by the MissisDeDavid sippi partment Green of Wildlife, Outdoors Fisheries, and Parks confirms what these people have witnessed. Each year from June to August, the MDWFP conducts a survey to monitor wild turkey reproduction across the state. As it is commonly known, the brood survey, enlists numerous observers who take note of all turkeys seen during the threemonth survey period. The results gathered from the information allows turkey biologists to measure reproductive success and gives hunters an outlook on how turkeys are faring across the Magnolia State. After two months of observations, the 2012 turkey hatch appears to be one of the best in a decade. Dave Godwin, the MDWFP wild turkey program coordinator, is well pleased with the report. “For a while now, our survey has not shown the kinds of state-wide numbers we’d like. We’ve had good hatches in a few re-
gions during some years, but not really had what I’d call a solid overall statewide hatch since about 2002,” said Godwin. Adam Butler, MDWFP wild turkey biologist, offers a logical explanation for this year’s good reports. Butler said, ”We had an outstanding acorn crop across the state last year along with a very mild winter, so hens should have come into the breeding season in very good condition. Due to the unusually early spring this year, nesting appeared to get an early start. Those factors really set the table for a good hatch. To top it off, we had excellent weather during the prime incubation period.” He concluded by saying,” It appears as if everything has lined up perfectly for the birds this year.” Few things in the outdoors can compare with the thrill of hearing a turkey sound off with a thunderous gobble on a crisp spring morning and, according to the survey report, Mississippi turkey hunters will likely find the spring woods very exciting over the next few years. (Alcorn County resident and Daily Corinthian columnist David Green is an avid hunter and fisherman in the Crossroads area. Anyone wishing to share their own unique outdoor story or have any news to report pertaining to the outdoors, David can be contacted at dgreen_ outdoors@yahoo.com.)
Telecom business appeals court decision Associated Press
OXFORD — Dixie-Net Communications Inc. has asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear its appeal of an adverse ruling in Mississippi over in-state fees. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that U.S. District Judge Michael Mills in Oxford ruled against Ripley-based DixieNet.
At issue is whether calls made under AT&T’s Area Calling Plan and Area Plus services should be treated as local traffic. Dixie-Net asked the Mississippi Public Service Commission to resolve the dispute. In 2007, the PSC said the calls are local traffic and, therefore, AT&T isn’t required to pay inside-state switched access fees to Dixie-Net for these calls.

The cannon that’s not really in the river BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
Several years ago I wrote an article for Blue & Gray Magazine titled “Hell on the Hatchie: The Fight at Davis Bridge, Tennessee.” I made dozens of trips out to the battle site, got stung by mosquitoes the size of parakeets, carried home whole species of ticks and chiggers and loved every minute of it. One of the best parts of the field trips to Hardeman County was talking to the local folks who lived on or near the battlefield. They were friendly, helpful, full of wonderful information and willing to walk the field with me. They were also amazed I did not believe the story of the cannon in the river. The fight at Davis Bridge — it was too small to be classified as a battle — took place on the Oct. 5, 1862, the day after the Battle of Corinth. General Van Dorn’s army was in full retreat and the path to safety led across the Hatchie River at Davis Bridge. The army had passed over the river just three days earlier and had left a long line of supply wagons behind so the column could march faster. It was essential for Van Dorn to return for the wagons as they were filled with the supplies needed to feed his army. When the wagons were left behind, 1,000 men were ordered to serve as a guard over the wagons and mules. Four cannon were left as well. These artillery pieces were the bronze 12-pounder howitzers of Captain William Dawson’s St. Louis Battery. On the morning of October 5th, a Union relief column appeared out of the west and Dawson’s Battery was rolled over Davis Bridge and took up a defensive position in the yard of farmer Willie Davis. It wasn’t a very good position to fight from. The land was flat as a billiard table except for Matamora Ridge to the west where the enemy was located. The odds didn’t look so good for the Confeder-
It was out of this fight that a myth emerged, a story of a cannon abandoned and tossed into the river. ates. There were 6,000 Federals with 16 cannon on the hill and only 1,000 men and four pieces of artillery for the home team. Van Dorn was moving up with about 15,000 men, but they were stretched out for miles along the road and would not be of much help for a few hours. The fight started out with the artillery blasting away at each other for about an hour. The contest wasn’t even close. With the advantage of the high ground, the Union was able to drop shells among Dawson’s cannon and the men began to fall at an alarming rate. A horse makes a bigger target than a man, and in the hour-long fight, every one of the battery horses was killed or wounded. That meant 50 horses were down, leaving no way to move the heavy cannons. The first Confederate reinforcements arrived in time to meet the enemy charging headlong down the slope. They could not hold back the blue tide and in a flash, the Southerners were sent reeling back across the bridge. When the dust settled, it was found that over 400 men had been captured… and, with no way to haul them away, all four of the big, bronze howitzers. The fighting lasted a few more hours, and over the next few days, all of the dead were buried and the wounded carted off. Peace and quiet returned to the little piece of West Tennessee. It was out of this fight that a myth emerged, a story of a cannon abandoned and tossed into the river. There have been plenty of people who have
The Hatchie River is near the site of the so-called “cannon hole.” claimed to have seen it in “the cannon hole” just upriver from the old bridge site. I talked to a gentleman who said he used to dive off the end of it into the river when he was a boy and another who said he used to catch fish out of the barrel. I’m not saying these are tall tales, I believe that they are telling the truth. I’m just not convinced it was not a big section of pipe they were playing on. Why would I say such a thing? First off, it would have to be a mighty small fish to come out of the barrel of a cannon. The muzzle diameter of a 12-pounder howitzer is only 4.62 inches, pretty small for catching anything bigger than a minnow. The same fellow said the barrel was badly corroded and red with rust. Again there is a problem. Bronze does not rust. When it is exposed to oxygen, it will turn green, but it will not corrode. Another fellow told of trying to haul the barrel out with a length of chain that was passed through

barrel. On another visit, I came across two men in wet suits who had been metal detecting the river. They came away with a few beer cans and a bullet, but no cannon. By the way, such activity is now illegal and a Tennessee State Park Ranger lives on the field and keeps a weather eye out for such shenanigans. At any rate, the four captured howitzers became property of the U.S. Army and were hauled away to Bolivar. Maybe it was a cannon from a different battery? There were other skirmishes in the vicinity during the war, but none of them involved artillery. There are no records or stories about anyone abandoning a big gun in
the Hatchie. Besides, you just didn’t throw away a perfectly good cannon. If it was broke it could usually be fixed. It was the equivalent of a modern main battle tank and not lightly discarded. So when I’m asked if I have ever heard of the cannon in the Hatchie, I smile and nod. Nobody throws a cannon into the water. Unless, of course, you want to talk about the bronze cannon thrown into Cane Creek during the Battle of Corinth. Now there’s another story ...

Special to the Daily Corinthian
FLORENCE, Ala. — Nine business students from the University of North Alabama brought home a collective 11 awards from the Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas, recently. Twelve from UNA were eligible to attend the conference and national competition after placing first or second at the state level in April. In total, more than 2,000 collegiate competitors attended this year -- one of the highest attendance rates in the conference’s history -- representing several hundred chapters from across the nation. This was UNA’s 25th consecutive year attending the national conference. This year’s awards were highly contested, with as many as 30-50 competitors in each category. “It was so exciting to hear the University of North Alabama name called to the stage 11 times during the awards ceremony,” said Donna Yancey, a marketing instructor in the College of Business. Yancey has attended these conferences as an instructor since UNA’s PBL chapter first competed in 1987 with just three students. “National awards like these are not easy to achieve,” she said. “It takes hard work, dedication and preparation.” The UNA PBL Chapter as a whole was awarded National Outstanding Chapter and Gold Seal Award of Merit. LeAnne Vogel of Iuka won fifth place in Emerging Business Issues team competition. Phi Beta Lambda is the college division of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) education association with a quarter million student members, more than any other student business organization in the world. FBLA-PBA exists to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career development programs.

The Mississippi FFA Summer Leadership Conference is designed to prepare local FFA chapter officers and members both in high school and middle school for leadership roles in their chapter, school, and community for the upcoming year. It also allows FFA members to exchange ideas with other FFA chapters in their state. The 2012-2013 State FFA Officer Team planned and conducted this conference to encourage the participants to develop their leadership potential, to challenge them to set personal and chapter goals for the year and to motivate the students to take advantage of the many opportunities available to them through the FFA.

Generous man keeps heart under lock and key DEAR ABBY: I’m a 41-year-old divorced mother of two and grandmother of two. I own my own business, God blessed me with my first home two years ago, and I’m happier than I have been in years. I’m writing because I have been seeing a man for about six months whom I met at church. We have attended the same church for about two years. “Gavin” has never been married, has no children and doesn’t want any. We have a great time together. We act like teenagers in love. I know he’s not seeing anyone else because we spend too much time together. Gavin calls me four to five times a day, brings me lunch at work and takes me out to eat all the time. He constantly buys me presents and helps my daughter out with money when things get tight. He has even helped me financially a few times and refuses to let me pay him back. I am falling in love with him. My problem? Every
Sunday, September 16, 2012
time I try to let G a v i n know how I feel, he tells me not to let Abigail that hapVan Buren pen. It’s not what Dear Abby he wants, and he wants me to stop. (Yeah, right! Like I can turn my feelings on and off.) Anyway, he says we are not a couple, and I am free to do whatever I want to do. Am I asking too much to want us to take this relationship to a new level? He shows all the signs of being in love with me by the way he treats me. His mixed signals are confusing. Am I really that naive? -- UNSURE IN GREENSBORO, N.C. DEAR UNSURE: You are not naive. Hope springs eternal in the breast, and you are only human. When a man tells you he wants you to be free and to do whatever you want to do, what he really means is he wants to be free to do whatever
he wants to do. As much as Gavin cares for you, it’s not enough for him to make a lifetime commitment. So, if being married is your goal, recognize that this honest, but reluctant Prince Charming is not for you. DEAR ABBY: My 24-year-old daughter, “Lisa,” informed me a year ago that she was engaged. She’s a college graduate living in another state and still looking for a job. Her fiance is a young Marine who plans to make it a career. Lisa was visiting this weekend and gave us the wedding date, which is in three months. She already has her invitations and bridesmaids picked out, etc. As she was leaving, she broke down and said she had “something to tell me.” They were married six months ago. She still wants to continue with her “wedding” plans, and have me walk her down the aisle. My wife and I are extremely hurt and angry for having been lied to all this time. My question is,
should I go along with this charade? Any other wisdom to impart? -- LISA’S DISAPPOINTED DAD DEAR DAD: At least your daughter told you in advance. I have heard from parents who didn’t learn the truth until months or years after the “wedding.” Feeling as you do, calmly convey your thoughts to your daughter as you have done so clearly in your letter. As to any “other wisdom” I would offer: As a low-ranking member of the military, Lisa’s husband isn’t going to make a lot of money until he climbs the promotional ladder. Their money would be better invested in other ways than the wedding of her dreams. They can reaffirm their vows later, in a way that is open, honest and less expensive.

Horoscopes Sunday, September 16, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
As the moon trips lightly into the air sign of Libra, words fall sweetly from our lips. Do we mean them? It certainly feels like it at the time, although it can’t be ignored that much is gained through compliments, cleverness and connection. Mercury follows the moon, seemingly to prove the point. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Dress to lead, and don’t be surprised when people follow. It’s not the clothes, but the way they make you feel about yourself. You move differently when you know you look your best. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even though sometimes it might be better to think, reflect and then act, now you are more inclined just to act. There’s intelligence in your action. You’ll get right to the point. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For a few hours of this day, you will actively live in the future. Your mental projections will allow you to try out different possibilities to find a good fit. This future-play will help you focus your time wisely. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your brain processes millions of pieces of information every hour you’re awake. Organizing it all is a challenge made easier today because you’re clear about your priorities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one who says all the right things may be hiding behind this mask of appropriateness. You may have the urge to get this person to drop the act. You may be deliberately provocative just to see what happens.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When the environment changes, you won’t hesitate to adapt. You’ll enjoy the wide variety of characters you meet today, and you’ll find the fast pace stimulating. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a strong idea of who you are. Those you meet will get the sense that you live in a completely different world from the one they know, and it’s a world they might like to tour sometime. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be friendly with everyone you meet, but you also have a getaway plan. When you know your escape route, you can relax and enjoy where you are without feeling trapped. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll strive for harmony. It can be achieved in a number of ways. Winning isn’t always victory. Surrender can be victory, too -- and so can losing. Step back to see the big picture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Serendipity is what happens when you focus yourself on the things that make you happy. All of the energy you put into your interests and passions magnetizes them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be reminded about the importance of simple kindness. Someone’s willingness to let you go first or to help you solve a problem will be so impactful that you can’t help but pay it forward. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Justice prevails in a personal way. The food arrives when you’re hungry, and you’ll get a break when you need a break. Bonus: The one you like likes you just as much.
