Wheeler Grove Baptist Church is honoring those who protect America on a daily basis. God and Country Day will be held October 28 from 10 a.m. until noon. The church is located at 21 County Road 519. “This will be a very special occasion and something we can never do too much,” said church minister of music Steve Byrd. The church will be recognizing those in the military, firefighters along with those associated with the police department and sheriff's office. “We want to give the highest honor and recognition to those who serve in our military and our local heroes,” said Byrd. “These men and women risk their lives to protect us each and every day.” Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore will be the guest speaker. Moore, who in 2003 was unanimously removed him from office by fellow judges due to his repeated refusal to comply with a federal court order requiring him
to remove a giant Ten Commandments monument that he installed in the state’s judicial building, will speak about the importance of the flag. Moore first grabbed national headlines in the mid-1990s when the ACLU threatened to sue him for displaying a copy of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. The controversy helped catapult him to win election as Alabama chief justice in 2000. He then installed his granite monument of the Ten Commandments after taking office. A flag folding ceremony will be conducted by Colonel Doug Hayhurst, who is retired from the U.S. Army. “The importance of the American flag, its true meaning and what is stands for will be emphasized,” said Byrd. “The special service will also give the highest honor and greatest respect to our Fallen Mississippi Soldiers.” The Heisman Quartet, Loveless Family, Mary Ann Johnson, Tiffany Blackard, Byrd along with the church choir and children's choir will provide special music. A fellowship meal will be held following the service.
Activities commemorate 150th anniversary of Battle of Corinth Conference
focuses on women and the home
BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center was busy Friday as National Park Service rangers wrapped up the last day of the Battle of Corinth 150th anniversary commemoration. On the grassy hill where once stood Battery Robinett, near the monument to slain Confederate Col. W.P. Rogers, Park Ranger Jim Minor led a battlefield hike that told the story of the aftermath of the Battle of Corinth — the Confederate retreat and the beginning of the Union pursuit. “It was a mess,” said Minor, himself a veteran of the Vietnam War. “Did you ever see that movie ‘Patton’ when he had to get out at the crossroads and direct traffic? That’s what it was like here.” On Friday first and second grade students from Corinth Elementary School visited the Interpretive Center to learn about the war at a series of stations on the battlefield and participate in Civil War-themed activities.

The need to know. Around 150 individuals are taking the stance when it comes to health care. The New Healthcare, Medicare & You seminar expects to answer the many questions about the Affordable Care Act. The seminar is scheduled for Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. at the Mississippi State Extension Building. “I think people are waking up,” said Ginger Dill-
inger who is sponsoring the event through her insurance business. “They want to know how they are going to be affected by the health care act.” Rick Napper, Magnolia Regional Health Center CEO, will be the guest speaker at the seminar. “Rick is such a good source,” said Dillinger. “He will have the actual facts when it comes to health care.” Refreshments will be served at 5 p.m. with Nap-
per set to speak at 5:30. “It looks like we are going to have a good turnout,” said the insurance business owner. “The seminar will contain plenty of information based on facts.” Napper is expected to speak around 45 minutes. “No one will there to try and sell you something,” said Dillinger. “This is an education presentation.” The seminar is RSVP.

He finished the presentation with a comment on the right way to settle on a conflict. “Thousands of Americans died because they couldn’t work out their disagreement,” Spearman told the kids. “About 700,000 Americans wouldn’t have been killed if they would have compromised.” At each station the students were given a different National Park Service
trading card telling the story of Shiloh and the Corinth area. As the day rolled into afternoon, the kids boarded the bus and headed back to school — all knowing a little more than before about the great war that happened in their own hometown. “This was our first field trip of the year, and the kids are very excited to learn about the Civil War,” said third grade teacher Amber Hare. “It’s been a very fun day.”
Lamphere’s teachings will help those at the conference learn how to “keep it positive” and become motivated to put their homes first. The conference will also feature worship music with Harrisburg Baptist Church. Everyone in the community is invited to attend the Women’s Conference from 6 until 9:45 p.m. on
Friday, Oct. 12, and 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13. Tickets are $15 each. The cost includes continental breakfast, a box lunch and a chance to win door prizes. They are available at West Corinth Baptist Church. (For more information call 286-6529 or 4157682.)

Corinth, Miss.
‘Supermajority’ votes to raise taxes gaining traction STARKVILLE — One product of the protracted economic downturn nationally has been an explosion of anti-tax legislation in state government. The purpose of the legislation is simply to make it structurally harder to raise taxes and to build those tax hike roadblocks into either state law or to the state constitution. Michigan is one of the latest states to see such a battle play out. In the Mississippi LegislaSid Salter ture since 1970, lawmakers Columnist have to earn a three-fifths “supermajority” vote to pass a bill that raises revenue or enacts taxation. It’s a requirement of the Mississippi Constitution. The adoption of general obligation bonds like those used for school construction and the like require 60 percent “supermajority” votes under Mississippi law as well. And the notion of “supermajority” votes likewise factor into the process of gubernatorial veto override votes. Mississippi’s governor can veto legislation if he can garner enough support in the Legislature to stave off a three-fifths majority vote. But that power is tempered by judicial oversight. The landmark state Supreme Court ruling on gubernatorial vetoes in Mississippi came in 1989 when the court ruled that while the governor is authorized to veto “parts of an appropriation bill,” the veto must be related to items of “distinct appropriations.” In the ruling, the court said the governor could not veto unwanted legislation on appropriation bills - saying in effect that the Legislature has the constitutional authority to place conditions on appropriations. There are 16 other states – Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin – that have at least some applicable “supermajority” requirement for raising taxes. Arizona, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Nevada, South Dakota and Washington all have two-thirds majority requirements. Delaware, Florida (at least for corporate income tax increases), Kentucky and Oregon require the same three-fifths “supermajority” as does Mississippi. Michigan’s current “supermajority” requirement only applies to state property taxes, but voters there are about to decide Proposition 5, which would require a two-thirds “supermajority” to raise income, corporate, or other taxes. In Michigan, opponents of the “supermajority” legislation say it will guarantee political gridlock, stymie economic development and hamstring government from raising necessary revenue. Proponents say the laws would make it harder for lawmakers to raise taxes and make the Michigan tax system more predictable. In Mississippi, existing “supermajority” constitutional requirements have indeed made raising taxes at the state level more difficult and likewise have made the state’s tax system more predictable. But those rules have likewise not been an impediment to major economic development projects like Nissan and Toyota. One interesting development in Michigan is that the “supermajority” legislation has made strange political bedfellows of business groups and labor unions. The unintended consequence of “supermajority” tax laws is that they in truth empower minority coalitions who have learned to use the laws to play not to win, but to block. The result is that often the will of the majority of voters gets thwarted. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him at 601507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)

Folks, we have a brand new ballgame Mitt Romney on Wednesday night turned in the finest debate performance of any candidate of either party in the 52 years since Richard Nixon faced John F. Kennedy, with the possible exception of Ronald Reagan’s demolition of Jimmy Carter in 1980. But where Reagan won with style and quips — “There you go again” — and his closing line, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” Romney crushed Obama on both substance and style. Obama was mauled, with facts, figures, anecdotes, arguments, jokes, quips. A smiling Romney was on offense all night. And the president’s performance seems inexplicable. Obama made no serious blunder. Yet, on the split screen, as Romney lectured him with a stern smile, Obama seemed a chastened schoolboy, head down, being instructed by a professor that if he did not get his grades up he would not be back next semester. The verdict on the Denver encounter — that Romney turned in the performance of his life and one of the most impressive in the history of presidential debates, and that the president underperformed, was outclassed and lost badly — was virtually unanimous. Indeed, liberal columnists and commentators are
among those most angered and appalled at Obama’s performance. Why did he not fight Pat back, they Buchanan ask, with all the ammuColumnist nition at his disposal? The defense being offered by the Obama spinners is that Mitt was brazenly changing positions right up there on stage, that he was not telling the truth about his positions, that he was misstating facts. But that leaves a glaring question. Why, then, didn’t the president call him out? To this they have no answer. Where does the race stand, a month from Election Day? Members of the Republican commentariat who were grousing that Mitt had blown it may now become enthusiastic again, as clearly this race is far from over. Folks in the grandstand who were heading for the exit ramps are heading back to their seats. We have a brand new ballgame here. But if the campaign of 2012 is not lost, not by a long shot, it is not won, either. The first sign of how great a recovery Mitt made will come next week in the headto-head polls, when the na-
tion has absorbed the news that Obama not only got waxed, he came off as man exhausted, weary with the duties of office, who lacks the fire and energy to lead us out of the economic doldrums in which this country finds itself. Yet even if the national polls find Mitt surging, the polls in the battleground states will have to turn dramatically, as early voting is already taking place in half of the country. And that voting began when it appeared that Obama was coasting to a second term. Can Ohio, for example, where Mitt has been consistently down by high single digits, be retrieved? Is Wisconsin just too far a reach? Perhaps the greatest advance Mitt Romney made in that debate was that, for once, he came off not just as a tough businessman and resolute budget-cutter who can put the nation’s fiscal house in order, but as something of a conservative of the heart. This has always been the missing dimension. The reaction of the Obamaites to the thrashing their man sustained is probably not going to be sportsmanlike. We will now hear more of the Gordon Gecko of Bain Capital writing off the 47 percent and more on the missing tax returns and Cayman Islands account.
But if we do, that will also tell the nation something. It will testify to the truth that Barack Obama is not the nice guy he is portrayed as being. And if his campaign reverts to the low road, it will convey another unmistakable message: i.e., the president cannot win on his record; he cannot win in debates about the future. Where Reagan after his first term spoke of “Morning in America,” the only way Obama can win a second term is to demonize his opponent. Gov. Romney still has miles to go before he sleeps. But the president is today facing a dilemma, as well. Given his performance, one of the worst in debate history, Obama cannot afford to lose a second or third debate like that. This crushing defeat has to be shown to be, and to be seen as, an aberration. Otherwise, the country may conclude that no matter how much it likes him, Obama as a leader is burned out, a mechanic who has tried every tool in the toolbox but cannot get the machinery running again. The first debate made the race a toss-up again. The second could decide it. (Daily Corinthian columnist Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)
The particulars of public opinion polls BY MICHAEL BARONE As a recovering pollster (I worked for Democratic pollster Peter Hart from 1974 to 1981), let me weigh in on the controversy over whether the polls are accurate. Many conservatives are claiming that multiple polls have overly Democratic samples, and some charge that media pollsters are trying to discourage Republican voters. First, some points about the limits of polls. Random sample polling is an imprecise instrument. There’s an error margin of 3 or 4 percent, and polling theory tells us that one of 20 polls is wrong, with results outside the margin of error. Sometimes it’s easy to spot such an outlier; sometimes not. In addition, it’s getting much harder for pollsters to get people to respond to interviews. The Pew Research Center reports that it’s getting only 9 percent of the people it contacts to respond to its questions. Are those 9 percent representative of the larger population? As that percentage declines, it seems increasingly possible that

the sample is unrepresentative of the much larger voting public. One thing a poll can’t tell us is the opinion of people who refuse to be polled. Then there is the problem of cellphone-only households. Today the percentage of households without landline phones is increasing. Under federal law, cellphone numbers have to be hand-dialed rather than dialed by computer. Cellphone-only individuals tend to be younger and more Democratic than landline owners. Most pollsters are conducting a set number of interviews with cellphone-only households. But they can only guess at what percentage of the electorate they’ll constitute. Oversample them, and you’ll get overly Democratic results. That, many conservatives are arguing, is what pollsters have been getting in polls this month. They point out that Mitt Romney is running ahead among Independents in many polls but trails overall. This can only happen if Democrats have a big lead in party identification, as
they did in 2008. In the exit poll then, 39 percent of voters identified themselves as Democrats and 32 percent as Republicans. In contrast, exit polls showed an even break on party identification in 2004 and 2010. But many September polls and some earlier polls showed Democrats with an even bigger party identification lead than four years before. That seems implausible. Party identification does change over time, as exit polls indicate. I don’t believe that any of the media pollsters have been tilting their results in order to demoralize Republicans, though I do look with suspicion on the work of some partisan pollsters. But I do have my doubts about whether samples with more Democratic party identification than in 2008 are accurate representations of the actual electorate. Many states with party registration have shown big drops in registered Democrats since then. Pollster Scott Rasmussen, who weights his robocall results by party identifica-

tion, adjusted monthly, has shown a much closer race than most pollsters who leave party identification numbers unweighted. It may be that we’re seeing the phenomenon we’ve seen for years in exit polls, which have consistently skewed Democratic (and toward Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries). Part of that is interviewer error: Exit poll pioneer Warren Mitofsky found that the biggest discrepancies between exit polls and actual results were in precincts where the interviewers were female graduate students. But he also found that Democrats were simply more willing to fill out the exit poll. That raises the question: Are we seeing the same thing in this month’s polls?

Bryant unfolds roadmap to develop state energy BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant is renewing his focus on promoting energy-related development. Bryant unveiled an “energy roadmap” at the Mississippi Energy Summit, including promoting oil and gas production, finding ways to use the state's available energy resources to attract more business, improving energy efficiency, expanding energy-focused research and training workers to take advantage of opportunities. When inaugurated, Bryant emphasized energy and health care as avenues to economic development. Legislators created tax breaks for health care investments this year. Now it appears to be energy's turn for attention. He said Mississippi should focus on energy development because it has natural advantages in the area and because the field produces highpaying jobs. “Most energy jobs pay twice the average household income in Mississippi,” the governor said. Bryant listed few specifics Thursday. He said that his administration was considering sponsoring a bill to encourage research and development in the energy industry. He said such measures might include allowing university researchers to keep more profits from patented inventions. He also said the Mississippi Development Authority and the private Mississippi Energy Institute might combine money to fund energy research and lure
top researchers to the state. Bryant acknowledged a ranking Wednesday by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy that named Mississippi last among states for promoting energy conservation. “We don't do a very good job,” he said. “We're going to work hard to get off of that list.” Southern Co. CEO Thomas Fanning reiterated support for the coal-fired plant that its Mississippi Power Co. subsidiary is building in Kemper County, despite the cost rising to $2.8 billion. “There's a big capital cost, I get that, but the energy coming out of this technology will be supercheap,” Fanning said. He said Kemper's technology, which would capture carbon dioxide and other byproducts and sell them to other users is “a home run, not only for the state of Mississippi but for America and the world.” Fanning warned against relying too much on natural gas, though Southern Co. is currently burning gas for 47 percent of its power. He said coal and nuclear should be kept viable, indicating that's why his company is building Kemper as well as new nuclear reactors in Georgia. Bryant also repeated his support for the Kemper plant. When asked if the Public Service Commission should reverse itself and grant Mississippi Power a rate increase now, Bryant said he'd leave that up to the PSC.
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Republican U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper and others attacked President Barack Obama's administration and environmentalists Giuliani said those opposed to burning coal and drilling for oil are “living in some kind of ideological dream world that makes sense only to you.” Harper touted House Republican plans to expand oil and gas production offshore and on public lands. He said those measures are stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate and said regulators are clamping down on projects that would be beneficial. “The Environmental Protection Agency is probably the most unfriendly agency I've ever seen,” Harper said.
State Briefs Associated Press
Thames back at USM HATTIESBURG — Shelby Thames, former University of Southern Mississippi president and polymer science professor, has returned to the school as “emeritus professor.” The Hattiesburg American reports that the honorary title was approved by the state College Board. Emeritus status recognizes long service of distinction. Thames retired from USM in July, after four decades at the university, including five as president. He began work on Oct. 1 on a multi-year $3 million Department of Defense grant that will pay his salary. Thames resigned as president in 2007 and returned to his position within the university as a distinguished research
professor — a post he held when he retired.
Harris set to perform in Meridian MERIDIAN — Singersongwriter Emmylou Harris will perform Oct. 18 at the MSU Riley Center. A pre-show party starts at 6 p.m. and Harris is expected to take the stage at 7:30 p.m. The 12-time Grammy winner’s work includes country, folk and alternative rock. Her debut album was released in 1969. Her latest album, “Hard Bargain,” was released in 2011 and includes many songs written by Harris.
Thompson seeks rejection of voter ID JACKSON — Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson wants the federal government to block Mississippi’s Voter ID law.
Thompson, Mississippi’s only congressional Democrat, sent the request Friday to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Because of past discrimination, the Justice Department or a federal court must clear changes to Mississippi electoral procedures. Mississippi voters approved photo identification before voting in a November 2011 referendum. The law must still win clearance, and federal officials want state Attorney General Jim Hood to provide information showing it won’t have discriminatory effects. Supporters say voter ID will prevent fraud. Opponents say it would make it harder for the poor and elderly to vote, doing outsized harm to black voters. Even if the law wins approval, state officials say it won’t be used for the Nov. 6 presidential election.

Man receives call from dog Associated Press
OREM, Utah — Police in Orem, Utah, say a man who thought he was getting a call from a burglar had actually gotten a call from his dog. Authorities in the community south of Salt Lake City say the man alerted
police Wednesday after he received a phone call from his home phone on his cellphone. Officials say the man heard banging and scratching noises on the line and figured it was an intruder. Police went to the man's home but didn't find any-
thing missing or broken. The man later called officers and told them he figured out the mystery. He said his dog had grabbed the home phone's receiver and apparently hit the redial button while burying it in the backyard.

FBI: Strong signs border death was friendly fire BY BRIAN SKOLOFF AND JACQUES BILLEAUD Associated Press
PHOENIX — Friendly fire likely was to blame in a shooting near the Arizona-Mexico line that killed one federal agent and wounded another, the FBI said, noting the investigation was still ongoing in the case that reignited the political debate over border security. “There are strong preliminary indications that the death of United States Border Patrol Agent Nicholas J. Ivie and the injury to a second agent was the result of an accidental shooting incident involving only the agents,” FBI Special Agent in Charge James L. Turgal Jr. said in a statement Friday. Turgal said the FBI is using “all necessary investigative, forensic and analytical resources” as it investigates the Tuesday shooting about five miles north of the border near Bisbee. Ivie was killed after he and two other agents responded to an alarm triggered by a sensor aimed at detecting smugglers and others entering the U.S. illegally. Another agent was wounded, and released from a hospital after surgery; the third agent was uninjured. Federal investigators used ballistic testing to determine that the shootings likely resulted from
friendly fire, according to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, which is assisting the FBI in the probe. Jeffrey D. Self, commander of Customs and Border Protection's Joint Field Command-Arizona, said that despite the initial findings that the shootings appeared accidental, Ivie still “gave the ultimate sacrifice and died serving his country.” “The fact is the work of the Border Patrol is dangerous,” Self said at a news conference in Tucson. While federal authorities declined to offer details of the shooting, George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said all three agents fired their weapons. McCubbin told The Arizona Republic that the agents had split up as they investigated the sensor alarm. “Coming in from different angles, that is more than likely how it ended up happening,” he said. A Mexican law enforcement official said Thursday that federal police had arrested two men who may have been connected to the shootings. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said it was unclear if there was strong evidence linking the men
to the case. Mexican authorities didn't respond to telephone messages Friday. Ivie's funeral is set for Monday in Sierra Vista. The Border Patrol couldn't immediately comment on the frequency of friendly fire shootings involving its agents. However, such incidents appear to be extremely rare, if they've ever occurred at all. “I know of absolutely none in the past, and my past goes back to 1968,” Kent Lundgren, chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers said, citing the year he joined the agency. “I'm not saying it never happened. I'm just saying I've never heard of it.” Also Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano traveled to Arizona to express her condolences to Ivie's family and meet with authorities. Ivie's death marked the first fatal shooting of an agent since a 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that killed U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and spawned congressional probes of a botched government gunsmuggling investigation. The “Fast and Furious” operation allowed people suspected of illegally buying guns for others to walk away from gun shops with weapons, rather than be arrested.

Fungal meningitis cases rise to 47 NEW YORK (AP) — As the tally from a deadly meningitis outbreak rose Friday, health officials identified the medical clinics across the country that received steroid shots for back pain now linked to the illnesses. Authorities took the step to help identify everyone who may have gotten sick — or may still get sick — in the outbreak. “All patients who may have received these medications need to be tracked down immediately,” said Dr. Benjamin Park of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It is possible that if patients with infection are identified soon and put on appropriate antifungal therapy, lives may be saved,” he said in a statement. The CDC said the number of cases of the rare fungal meningitis reached nearly 50 cases, and spread to a seventh state Friday. The number of deaths in the outbreak remained at five.
Investigators have focused on a steroid medication made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts. All the outbreak patients had gotten shots of the steroid for back pain, a common treatment, and inspectors found at least one sealed vial contaminated with fungus. On Friday, officials said they have found fungal infections in nine sick patients. They weren’t able to identify what types of fungus in every one of those patients, but did distinguish at least two types — Aspergillus and Exserohilum. In all, 47 people have contracted fungal meningitis, the CDC said. Michigan became the seventh state to report cases, with four. Tennessee’s cases now total 29; Virginia, six; Indiana, 3; two each in Maryland and Florida and one in North Carolina. Three people have died in Tennessee and one in Virginia and Maryland. The first known case in the meningitis outbreak was diagnosed about two weeks ago in Tennessee, and the steroid was recalled last week by the pharmacy, New England Compounding
Center in Framingham, Mass.
CBO tallies 2012 deficit at $1.1 trillion WASHINGTON — A new estimate puts the deficit for the just-completed 2012 budget year at $1.1 trillion, the fourth straight year of trillion dollar deficits on President Barack Obama’s watch. The result was a slight, $207 billion improvement from the 2011 deficit of $1.3 trillion. The bleak figures from the Congressional Budget Office, while expected, add fodder for the heated presidential campaign, in which Obama’s handling of the economy and the budget is a main topic. Friday’s release came as the government announced that the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent last month, matching the rate when Obama took office. “President Obama once promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, but ... he’s broken that promise, and has presided over his fourth straight trillion-dollar budget deficit,” said GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in nearly four years and giving President Barack Obama a potential boost with the election a month away. The rate dropped from 8.1 percent because the number of people who said they were employed jumped by 873,000 — an encouraging sign for an economy that's been struggling to create enough jobs.
The number of unemployed Americans is now 12.1 million, the fewest since January 2009. The Labor Department said employers added 114,000 jobs in September. It also said 86,000 more jobs were added in July and August than the department had initially estimated. Still, many of the jobs the economy added last month were part time. The number of people with part-time jobs who wanted full-time work rose 7.5 percent to 8.6 million, the most since February 2009. But overall, Friday's re-

port dispelled some fears about the job market. Average wages rose. And more people started looking for work. The revisions show employers added 146,000 jobs a month from July through September, up from 67,000 in the previous three months. The 7.8 percent unemployment rate for September matches the rate in January 2009, when Obama took office. In the months after Obama's inauguration, the rate rose sharply and had topped 8 percent for 43 straight months. The decline in unemployment comes at a critical moment for Obama, who is coming off a weak debate performance this week against GOP challenger Mitt Romney. The September employment report may be the last that might sway the remaining undecided voters. The jobs report for October will be released only four days before Election Day. Speaking Friday in Fairfax, Va., Obama said the lower unemployment rate shows that the “country has come too far to turn back now.� Romney released a statement Friday pointing out that the number of jobs on employers' payrolls in September was lower than
the revised 142,000 for August. He also noted that manufacturing has lost 600,000 jobs since Obama took office. “This is not what a real recovery looks like,� Romney said in a statement. But Sal Guatieri, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, said the report signals improvement. “An overall better-thanexpected jobs report, consistent with most recent data that suggest the economy is gaining some momentum,� Guatieri said in a note to clients. “The sizeable drop in the unemployment rate could lift the president's re-election chances following a post-debate dip.� Labor Secretary Hilda Solis was asked on CNBC about suspicions that the Obama administration might have skewed the jobs numbers to aid Obama's re-election prospects. “I'm insulted when I hear that because we have a very professional civil service,� Solis said. “I have the highest regard for our professionals that do the calculations at the (Bureau of Labor Statistics). They are trained economists.� After the jobs report was released, stocks rose. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 60 points in the first hour of trading before trimming some of its gains.

Teenager runner wins Rotary 5K BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
An early morning run through the streets of Downtown Corinth brought the title of winner to two Northeast Mississippi youngsters. It only took them 20 minutes. Sixteen year old Danielle Cobb of Baldwyn, MS and 11-year-old Macain Chunn of Blue Springs. MS grabbed the fastest times for male and fe-
male runners. Cobb claimed the overall title by crossing the finish line at 19:38, 20 seconds behind her best time for the year. Chunn followed on Cobb’s heels with a 19:40 finish. “I feel great, it was my best time that I’ve ever ran,” Chunn said. Both Chunn and Cobb came to the race with the Spartan Cross Country Team, a group made up of children who
are enrolled in home school throughout Northeast Mississippi. “We just find races and go run in them,” Cobb said. Those participating in the event ranged from 6-year-old Ethan Kimbrough to several runners over 70. “Every year we have somewhere between 220 and 300 runners,” Rotary Club member Greg Cooley said, “Its based on the weather, ball games....we’ve
had two other races start in this region that compete with us which has affected us but its alright. We still have fun.” The run has raised over $50,000 in the past three years, helped by the effort of sponsors for the race. Total amounts raised for this years event will be posted in a few weeks. “It’s a good fun time, and we have people who take advantage of it....this one has been great,” Cooley said.

Going Bananas: Local club wins title BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
It was party time for the Flying Bananas. The Party Time Inflatables/Flying Bananas recently claimed the ASA Class E National Championship, going unscathed through the 2-day, 11-team, double-elimination tournament held in Tupelo. The team, composed mostly of local players that participate in the various Adult Softball League at Crossroads Regional Park, bounced back from a fifth-place showing in the State Tournament. “We didn’t play like we were capable at the state tournament,” said 3B Jon Isbell. “We hit better and played better defense ... it was just our
day.” Clubs from Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi competed in the annual event. The location of the tournament provided an opportunity for the locals. “If it had been far away, we wouldn’t have played,” said Isbell. Michael Crum and Jake Glidewell served as the team managers. Dustin Talley, Billy Williams, Ronnie Joslin, Colby Roberts, Neil Taylor, Will Stanford, Daniel Crum, Allan Fugitt, Rod Williams and Isbell rounded out the championship team. The Bananas opened with victories over Show Me/ Pound Town, Ind. (15-0) and Art Horizons (15-11) on
the first day of action. A pair of one-run wins over Different Strokes (9-8) and Sports Country (6-5) put them in the championship round. After Sports Country prevailed in the loser’s bracket final, the Flying Bananas hoisted the trophy with a 13-8 decision. It was the first national title for all the team members with the exception of Joslin. The 58-year-old claimed his third big title to go along with seven state crowns. “Ronnie played insane,” said Isbell. “He was 18-of-20 in the tournament.” Joslin was easily the veteran of the bunch. About half the team is aged 20-24, with another five in their mid-30s.
“Some players go their whole lives and never put it together,” said Isbell. Isbell said Fugitt came up big for the team in their run to the title. Neil Taylor received some extra hardware, winning the trophy for highest batting average. “It was a complete group effort,” said Isbell. The Bananas were put in a bind late Saturday. With no subs on the bench, Joslin came up lame with a hamstring injury. Struggling to run, the team asked Joslin to just put the ball in the air to advance base runners.

No. 20 Bulldogs roll through Kentucky BY GARY GRAVES Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen was slightly concerned about his team’s focus against Kentucky coming off a bye week. Not only did the No. 20 Bulldogs ease his mind on that issue, they did it effectively. Tyler Russell passed for two touchdowns and Mississippi State held Kentucky to just 228 yards on offense, leading to a 27-14 victory Saturday. “We lost our focus a couple of times with a couple of people, but overall I’m real pleased,” Mullen said. “I think our defense played very well over the course of the game. “I would’ve liked a couple more scores.” LaDarius Perkins carried 25 times for 110 yards, in-
cluding a 31-yard score, and Devon Bell kicked field goals of 20 and 37 yards as Mississippi State moved to 5-0 for the first time since 1999. The Bulldogs are 2-0 in the Southeastern Conference. Russell was 23 of 39 for 269 yards, hitting Adrian Marcus and Chad Bumphis for touchdowns of 10 and 27 yards, respectively. Bumphis, who finished with 9 receptions for 104 yards, also broke the school record with his 17th career TD. “It’s a big deal to get it (the record) out of the way, finally,” Bumphis said. Mississippi State finished with 158 yards rushing and 427 overall, splitting its season-high 78 plays evenly running and passing. Freshmen quarterbacks Patrick Towles and Jalen
Whitlow both led scoring drives for Kentucky (1-5, 0-3), which lost its fourth straight. Whitlow played the second half after Towles sprained his ankle just before halftime. Whitlow finished 10of-21 passing for 73 yards, adding 26 rushing yards on eight carries. Towles was 5 of 6 for 71 yards. “I thought both of them competed hard,” Kentucky coach Joker Phillips said. But it was all about the Bulldogs, who showed no rust from a week off. The defense allowed its second-fewest yards this season, 12 more than it allowed in a 28-10 victory over Auburn last month. “It’s good to get a win even though we didn’t cause any turnovers,” cornerback Darius Slay said. “We at least had about seven or eight 3-and-
outs, so it put the offense in good field position a lot.” Offensively, Mississippi State converted 10 of 18 third downs and one fourth down. The offense started deliberately in taking the opening kickoff and driving 85 yards in 13 plays. Russell’s mix of quick slants and short out patterns accounted for 57 yards on 6-of-8 passing, including a screen pass to Marcus for the first score. Marcus was helped by a collision between Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham and safety Martavius Neloms as they appeared to have him hemmed up in the backfield. That cleared his path to the end zone. The Bulldogs had an easier time taking a 14-0 lead, movPlease see BULLDOGS | 9A

that do leave the yard end the inning. “He went 4-for-4 ... couldn’t have gotten out if he wanted to,� said Isbell. “I asked him if having to run the bases hurting was worth it to win a national and he replied ‘You better believe it.’� The Bananas came full circle with the national championship. After struggling in a couple of tournaments earlier in the year, the team took on a different look in June. “We tried some different combinations,� said Isbell. “We even picked up some semi-pro baseball players. They’d play softball on a Saturday, then go play baseball on Sundays. “We knew we could play with the other teams. We just needed to find the right combination.�

ing 61 yards in six plays with little resistance from the Wildcats, especially on the final two snaps. After Russell’s fourth-down run for 4 yards to Kentucky’s 31, Perkins broke through the right side virtually untouched for his sixth touchdown this season. “We wanted that kind of fast start, playing on the road against a team with freshman quarterbacks,� Mullen said. Kentucky stumbled to consecutive 3-and-outs totaling 3 yards with Whitlow starting at quarterback. The Wildcats had suggested alternating him and Towles from play to play, but the switch didn’t happen until the third possession. Towles entered the game to cheers, and he drew even more in leading a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive. The highly touted freshman was 5 of 5 for 71 yards, completing it with a 32-yard TD pass to wide-open La’Rod King. But the Wildcats couldn’t sustain anything else, and Towles sprained his ankle on a second-quarter sack and did not return. Neloms left the game with a hamstring injury. Bell’s field goals made it 20-7
Texas rallies to beat Ole Miss 30-27 BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press
OXFORD — Johnny Manziel’s final pass of Texas A&M’s stunning comeback was perfect, an expertly lofted ball on a fade route that fell right into Ryan Swope’s hands in the corner of the end zone. At one point, it looked like the precocious freshman had run out of magic. Turns out he was just getting warmed up. Shaking off more than three quarters of mistake-riddled football, Manziel rushed for a 29-yard touchdown and then threw a 20yard touchdown pass to Swope in the fourth quarter as Texas A&M rallied for a 30-27 victory over Mississippi on Saturday night. “That’s the most emotional game I’ve ever played in,� Swope said. “I walked off with tears in my eyes. But the guys were hungry and we never gave up.� Manziel accounted for 320 yards of total offense — 191 passing and 129 rushing. The Aggies (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) won despite a season-high six turnovers, including four fumbles and two interceptions. “A year ago this team couldn’t seem to close these games out,� first-year Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. “But for us to go on the road in the SEC and to win is something we’ll take a lot of confidence from.�

Despite rampant violence, ‘Looper’ has great message Looper, R, ****,Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Jeff Daniels, Pierce Gagnon; Film District; Director Rian Johnson; length — 119 minutes “Looper” is a sci-fi movie with an interesting plot. The time period is 2044. Joe (Joseph GordonLevitt) is an assassin who kills individuals sent from the future. The victim appears with a hood over his head and the assassin kills him the second he arrives from the future.
The victims are being sent from 2074. The hood keeps the assassin from recognizing the person he kills. If the person from the future happens to be the older version of the assasTerry sin, and Burns he is killed then it is Movie Critic just like the assassin never existed. This is called closing the “Loop.”
The movie takes place in Kansas. With the city in turmoil filled with homeless people and crime, the “Loopers,” along with those who make the rules, have all the money. It will remind one of “The Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy says, “Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more. We must be over the rainbow!” Believe me — there is no pot of gold below the rainbow for most people. Joe is learning the French language because he wants to save enough
money to travel to France and live out his life in peace. However, things change. He receives an assignment and guess who arrives in 2044 — an older version of Joe (Bruce Willis). Old Joe gets away and he figures a way to stop what is happening. Now the young Joe must face Abe (Jeff Daniels). Abe is unhappy with what happened. Joe escapes and meets Sara (Emily Blunt) who has a Cain farm. Her son Cid (Pierce Gagnon) is capa-
ble of “Raising Cain!” This is an expression of acts of violence. There is plenty of violence in “Looper.” However, the movie has a message and Sara expresses the significance of the phrase, “It is better to give than to receive,” in a subtle but moving way. I have to say I am not a big sci-fi fan but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this story play out to the very end. Despite the rampant violence, it has a great message. I will say this again as I did last week —
this fall's movies are much better than what I viewed during the summer. (Daily Corinthian columnist Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System. A lifelong movie buff, he can be contacted by email at burns984@bellsouth.net. Terry’s movie grading scale: five-plus stars — as good as it gets; five stars — don’t miss; four stars — excellent; three stars — good; two stars — fair; one star — poor; no stars — don’t bother.)
Corinth High students create unique mural Elvis balloon flies at New Mexico event BY KIM JOBE
Corinth School District
Students have eaten lunch and watched a wall in the Commons Area bloom into a large mural at Corinth High School this semester. Lynn Haynie, the art teacher, had wanted to paint something on that wall for quite some time. The project officially started after CHS Principal Russ Elam showed Dr. Lee Childress, Corinth’s superintendent, the preliminary sketch for the mural and received approval to place it on the Commons Area wall. The sketch came from two seniors — Madison Wigginton and Morgan Wigginton — who worked on the orginal idea of spelling out Warriors on the wall filled in with school-related items. Haynie drew the twins’ sketch on graph paper for scale and tweaked the lettering style. The design for the CHS and feathers came next. Then art students Elizabeth McPheters, Kelsey Pounders, Michaela Roberts, Jake Kushner and Stennett

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A giant Elvis, an ice cream cone and a child in a wheelchair are among the new shapes set to take to the sky at an annual hot-air balloon festival in New Mexico that's expected to draw more than 700,000 visitors from around the globe. The 41st Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta was scheduled to begin Saturday with the launch of hundreds of hot-air balloons. Fiesta officials hope for better weather at this year's nine-day affair after wind and rains sidelined balloons for a few events last year, cutting attendance by around 100,000 visitors. Still, organizers last year were able to break a world record by sending up 345 balloons at one time. “There were some things we just couldn't control,” director Don Edwards said. “But we still tried to put on a good show.” Officials aren't planning to break any records this year, but more than 550 pilots have signed up to fly

Lynn Haynie, Morgan Wigginton, Noah McQueen and Madison Wigginton pose in front of the new mural at Corinth High School. Smith teamed up to choose ideas for inside the letters. Noah McQueen, another art student, helped with the layout, taping and painting the background and borders. “Madison, Morgan and I chalked off the letters first before sketching inside the letters,” Haynie explained. “It’s definitely
been a group effort because working up close to the wall alters your perspective. We have really counted on other students viewing from a distance to help us keep things accurate.” Haynie said that all of this year’s high school art students have contributed to the project by add-
ing ideas and painting some, too. The mural is almost completed. “Working in shifts from class changes and clean-up slows us down, but the painting goes much faster thank the sketching,” Haynie said. “The entire CHS staff and student body has been complimentary about the design and bright school colors. “I hope this will be contagious and art will blossom around campus,” Haynie added.

balloons at the fiesta, Edwards said. That's slightly higher than in most years, he said.. Last year, the event drew slightly more than 700,000 spectators. That was down from 800,000 visitors from 2010, officials said. The forecast called for mostly cloudy skies in the area Saturday and Sunday, with winds up to 12 mph. Winds faster than 11.5 mph, less than three miles visibility and clouds below 1,500 feet would postpone or cancel any launch of balloons. However, winds vary near the Fiesta Park launch site because some are blocked by the Sandia Mountains. Officials determine whether balloons can be launched by measuring wind speeds at the site. Making its first appearance at the event this year is the Spainmade “Shining Star” balloon, which is shaped like a child sitting in a wheelchair reaching for a star. Other balloons set to make their fiesta debuts include “Simba the Lion,” “Cosmo the Astronaut” and “Little Fireman,” a balloon shaped like a fire helmet. Officials said this year's event will have more activities for the balloon pilots, with chances of winning a horseback-riding trip in New Mexico's Sandia Mountains or a whitewater rafting trip on the Rio Grande.

Colonel fails to make most of second chance BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
Everybody deserves a second chance, right? I mean as long as the person didn’t commit some heinous crime everybody should get that shot at forgiveness. This is a story about a guy who got a second chance: Colonel Robert C. Murphy of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry. You’ve heard of the 8th Wisconsin? This was the “Eagle Regiment,” the unit that had the bald eagle, “Old Abe,” for a mascot. It was a proud regiment and amassed a respectable combat record and Murphy was their first commanding officer. Murphy was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1827 and studied law as a young man. He helped lay out the revised border with Mexico following the Mexican War and was the first U.S. consul to Shanghai, China. By his 30th birthday he had moved to Wisconsin to manage the business interests of Caleb Cushing, a Massachusetts congressman and the former attorney general of the United States. Murphy had plenty of political connections and when the war broke out he used this influence to secure the top spot in the 8th Wisconsin. He didn’t have any military experience and he didn’t do too much to acquire any. It seemed every time the regiment was in a position to see any action he was away on detached duty somewhere else. It happened in Missouri and again at Farmington during the Siege of Corinth. Even though he was a no show when it was time for a fight, Murphy impressed someone and he was awarded command of a brigade of troops: his
The battle flag of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry is adorned with a list of battle honors including action in Corinth and the surrounding region.
Col. Robert C. Murphy own 8th Wisconsin plus the 26th Illinois, 5th Minnesota, and the 11th Missouri. In early September he was placed over the small garrison in Iuka consisting of the “Eagle Regiment” and a portion of the 5th Minnesota. On the 13th of September, 1862, a Confederate cavalry force under Brigadier General Frank Armstrong paid him a visit. Murphy did fine at first and pulled enough of his men into line to drive the Southerners away. Then he learned about General Sterling Price’s Army of the West approaching and he began to lose his nerve. The telegraph lines were down and he was out of touch with Corinth so he sent three couriers bearing the important
news. None of them made it and therefore no one returned to tell him what he should do. Murphy’s orders were clear enough: if he was threatened he was to load as much of the supplies at Iuka on a train, destroy the remainder and march his men to Corinth. But that isn’t what he did. He was afraid the tracks had been torn up so he loaded up as much of the stores he could on wagons (which wasn’t very much) and set out for the safety of Corinth. He left the train fully loaded sitting on the tracks as well as over $30,000 worth of supplies in the local warehouses. General Rosecrans, commander of the Corinth garrison, was
furious. As far as he was concerned Murphy had “skedaddled” to save his own hide and had left plenty of groceries behind to feed Price’s army. A court martial was convened but the officers of the board were sympathetic to Murphy’s plight and he was acquitted. Then Rosecrans got really mad. He dismissed the results of the trial and wrote, “The General Commanding, having himself a high personal regard for Colonel Murphy, considers that to pass over such conduct with nothing but the announcement of an honorable acquittal, would be to sanction that which would ruin the service.” Murphy was in deep trouble but salvation came at the hands of General Grant who restored Murphy to his command. “I sustained the Colonel at the time,” Grant later wrote, “because his command [at Iuka] was a small one compared with that of the enemy – not one tenth as large – and
I thought he had done well to get away without falling into their hands.” Murphy kept his rank but lost his brigade to the hard-drinking Col. Joseph “Fighting Joe” Mower. He got his second chance when Grant appointed him to command the garrison at the important Union supply depot at Holly Springs. Grant had begun his first campaign against Vicksburg and his army was moving south along the tracks of the Mississippi Central Railroad. The supply depot at Holly Springs was immense. There was literally millions of dollars worth of supplies stockpiled in and around town. And, as luck would have it, another Confederate cavalry column was on the way to pay their respects to Colonel Murphy. Grant learned of the threat to his supply line and gave Murphy ample warning the night of December 19th. With 3,500 Southerners bearing
down on him Murphy read the telegram, put it in his pocket and went to bed. He didn’t do a thing to prepare, not even to bother alerting his 2,000 men of the approaching enemy. At dawn General Earl Van Dorn (yes, the same Van Dorn who was defeated at Corinth and working on his own second chance) arrived and found an unprepared Union garrison that he captured without much of a fight. The supplies and weapons were destroyed along with Murphy’s career as a soldier. His report of the action is kind of sad to read as he tries to blame everybody but himself for the fiasco. But even he knew he was responsible and would have to face the music. “My fate is most mortifying. I have wished a hundred times to-day that I had been killed.” This time Grant did not come to his rescue. He did not even get the benefit of a court martial but was dismissed from the service, by Grant’s order, for “cowardly and disgraceful conduct.” President Lincoln and the Secretary of War agreed and Murphy was made a civilian. He eventually made his way to Washington, D.C. where, with the last of his political connections, he was able to secure a post as a clerk in the Post Office department. Murphy blew his second chance but Van Dorn made the best of his. Van Dorn redeemed his military fortunes while Murphy disappeared into obscurity. A second chance is a great thing, as long as it is used wisely. Woe be to the person who expects a third.
Henry Little’s diary foretells clash of arms at Iuka in 1862 (The following information leading up to the Battle of Iuka on Sept. 19, 1862, is excerpted from “Service in Two Armies: The Diaries of Henry Little” written by Fielding Lewis Tyler and RaNae Smith Vaughn. The book was published in August 2012 and is available for purchase in the historical museum’s gift shop.)
Clash of arms at Iuka The lead elements of the 1st Division, Army of the West, rode into old Tishomingo County near the village of Marietta after sunset on September 11. The exhausted soldiers of Henry Little’s four gray-clad infantry brigades were strung out on a single road leading into Tishomingo County and immediately ate their rations and bedded down for the night. A majority of the men laid out their blankets in a swampy area near Twenty Mile Creek. Little himself was quartered in a farm house a mile east of town, and he commented that he had “a good supper and a feather bed.” During the night a storm came up, and by morning the rain had added to the misery of the soldiers. On the 12th of September, Little strapped on his Colt Navy revolver and noted that he felt much better. The lead elements of the column of infantry brigades reached the small grist mill village of Bay Springs. The cavalry were spread out in advance of his plodding infantry column. It was necessary for the infantrymen to cross what Little described as a weak bridge; this crossing con-
sumed a number of hours. The troops went into camp in the rain, RaNae and Henry Vaughn Little ate a hearty Historically supper Speaking and went to bed in an ambulance. He wrote in his diary that he did not know of the enemy dispositions in Iuka, but he believed that “we will have a battle at that place.” On the following day, he made a diary notation that it was a cloudy morning and he did not sleep well in the ambulance. Progress continued to be slow; the troops had to pause briefly and repair a bridge. The division then reached Peyton’s Mills, and Little observed that it was “quite a picturesque appearance of the brigades of my command cooking their food and preparing for the fight ... God give us victory.” The rations probably consisted of coffee, salt pork, and crackers, but they would improve once they entered Iuka and found the enemy’s stores. A soldier from Company B, 43rd Mississippi Infantry, remarked on that day that the troops were fatigued and the neighboring hills were overgrown with oak and pine. He also mentioned that the roads were bad and that the soldiers were eating only parched corn. Additional troops from both armies were also on the march. Brigadier General Dabney H. Maury’s 2nd Division of Price’s Army of the West had three assigned infantry brigades. The division’s
line of advance was generally north along the old Natchez Trace to the east of Little’s command. On the Federal side, General Grant directed a three division force commanded by Major General Edward O. C. Ord from Corinth eastward in the direction of Burnsville north of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad. The troops from both commands would later deploy and face each other on the western edge of town; however, they would not be committed to the battle. Little’s division was up at 11 p.m. Saturday evening, and on Sunday, they were in a column of brigades proceeding north along the rutted wagon roads of Tishomingo County towards Iuka, Mississippi. Little commented that it “was hard on me being hardly able to ride on horseback.” He also noted that his troops were exhausted and needed a rest before dawn. The troops were back on the march at five in the morning, and three hours later, the lead elements of the division entered the Town of Iuka. They were led by the veteran soldiers of the 3rd Louisiana Infantry who helped themselves to the commissary supplies left behind. The infantrymen also amused themselves by pushing railroad handcars uphill, and then watching the cars coming back down at breakneck speed. The soldiers remarked that they were well received by the large number of ladies residing in town. The Federal Army had assembled some 30 railcars with military supplies on the tracks in the center of town as a depot for future operations.
Additionally, there were wagons laden with supplies—some of which were filled with prized sutlers’ provisions. The sutlers were licensed traders serving as the 1860s version of the modern Post Exchange. This lucrative target had been guarded by soldiers of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and some Illinois cavalry. After dawn on Saturday, gray-clad Mississippi cavalrymen belonging to Frank Armstrong’s Brigade entered Iuka from the south and laid eyes on the mountains of abandoned military supplies. After trading a few rounds with the retreating 8th Wisconsin Infantry, the mounted men descended on the wealth of abandoned stores. Cavalrymen cut the Federal telegraph lines and began to destroy the rail line between Iuka and Burnsville. Armstrong also sent a messenger to Major General Price at Peyton’s Mill. The dawn had risen on Sunday, the 14th of September 1862, as Brigadier General Henry Little arrived in the sleepy northern Mississippi town of Iuka. He was sick, covered with fleas, and barely able to stay in the saddle. His accompanying staff had obtained him a room in the cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Pride. The Prides were possibly Edward and Jane Pride of nearby Burnsville who had relocated to Iuka as refugees to escape advancing Federal forces. Arriving with him were the foot soldiers of the 1st Division, Army of the West. The accompanying wagons and artillery had approached the town in column of brigades from the south on the narrow dry roads
which were in poor condition. Iuka was a railroad town with the tracks of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad running from east to west. Two years earlier the town boasted a population of 1,500 souls, but the town had been stripped of much of its male population with the departure of the young men into volunteer service with the Tishomingo Riflemen and the Iuka Rifles. The median age of these new departed volunteers was 23 years of age, and 64 percent of them identified themselves as farmers. Many would never return to the county. Known for its mineral springs, Iuka was incorporated in 1857. The railroad was completed on March 28, 1857, and the town began to grow exponentially. Businesses from Eastport to the north relocated to Iuka after the railroad bypassed their town. A number of structures were also relocated by wagon from Eastport. Near the railroad were the three hotels—Leatherwood, Blythe, and the Iuka Springs. These three facilities, in conjunction with the Iuka Female College and the Iuka Methodist Church, would serve the wounded of both sides during September 1862 and beyond. At least a dozen private homes, some of which are still standing in town, also served as medical facilities. The four infantry brigades spread into positions near the town and began distributing the large number of supplies left behind by the Federal forces which had just withdrawn from
Iuka. Henry Little was alarmed to read in a captured newspaper that his courier, Major Absalom Grimes, had been captured. It was the same officer who had been carrying letters that Gen. Little had been sending regularly to his wife, Martha, in St. Louis. His diary notation read: “Good bye to hearing from my darling wife and child.” On the following morning, Little awoke after a good night’s rest and was served a “poor breakfast.” He was still wrestling with his “old enemies, the fleas.” His 1st Division of four infantry brigades with a total of nearly 8,000 soldiers encamped in the vicinity of the town as the Army commander, Major General Price, awaited the Federals’ next move. The soldiers slept on their arms with the prospect of battle within a day or so. On Tuesday, Little awoke after a night at the house of Mr. Pride and had breakfast. He was still devoured by fleas, and he spent much of the windy and dusty morning sleeping. His encamped division spent much of the day on alert, and he heard sounds of artillery firing. On Wednesday, September 17th, he moved his headquarters into the Coman House which he considered dilapidated, but he still had breakfast with the Pride family. He was given a Federal dragoon coat and commented that he was “once more in Uncle Sam’s blue.” Military activity was also coming to a head in the Eastern Theater.

MDWFP emphasizes safe use of tree stands Several years ago my nephew tried talking me into going hunting with him to one of his favorite places to deer hunt. He said that he’d already hung a portable stand at the end of a hardwood hollow next to some cut-over and I was more than welcome to use it. It sounded promising, so I agreed to take him up on his offer. Before going our separate ways on the morning of the hunt, we agreed to stick it out until 10 a.m. before climbing down and meeting back up. The woods were quiet, not a breeze stirring under the overcast sky. I hadn’t seen or heard anything resembling a deer. Realizing it was getting late, I glanced at my watch, which read five minutes ’til 10 and, almost simultaneously, out of the corner of my eye I saw a nice buck step into the hardwoods to my right. Being right handed, I shifted my
body to make the shot and promptly missed. The buck held his David g r o u n d . Green I chamb e r e d Outdoors another round, shifted my body more as I tried to stand up at the same time, and then fired again. This time, the shot was true. I was so intent on getting the buck I didn’t realize what had just taken place amid all of my twisting and turning. It never dawned on me my life nearly came to a crashing halt. When I looked down right after the deer was put to the ground, I noticed there was no platform under my feet. Somehow, during the excitement, the platform had fallen to the base of the tree, and so would I
I’ve relived the near miss many times, knowing good and well what might have happened had the buck not walked up when it did. If the event hadn’t occurred as it played out, there’s a good possibility I would have met a dreadful fate as I stood up and tried to climb down. In other words, the buck probably saved my life. if had I not managed to lodge my butt cheeks onto one rail and my feet to another. I’m sure glad no one was around to take a picture while I was hanging 20 feet up on the side of that pine tree. If there were, I would have probably become the poster child for promoting tree stand safety. The story is one I’ve told before but felt worth repeating to increase
awareness of tree stand safety, especially since tree stand mishaps account for most of the hunting related injuries and fatalities each year. And I’m not the only one who is urging tree stand safety. The Mississippi Dept. Of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks recently released a list of tips for tree stand users: Always use a fullbody harness; read all instructions and watch
the video included with any tree stand or related product; carry and know how to use the suspension relief device; practice suspension and using the SRD while being supervised by another responsible adult; inspect tree stands and safety equipment each time they are used; maintain connection to the tree from the time you leave the ground till you return to the ground (life lines are a good option for fixedposition stands); make a plan prior to each hunt that includes informing someone of where you’ll be hunting; carry an emergency signal device such as a cell phone or whistle; use a lineman’s belt and the supplied tree strap while hanging a fixed-position stand; never use tree limbs to climb; and, remove all stands from the woods each year and store out of the weather. I’ve relived the near
miss many times, knowing good and well what might have happened had the buck not walked up when it did. If the event hadn’t occurred as it played out, there’s a good possibility I would have met a dreadful fate as I stood up and tried to climb down. In other words, the buck probably saved my life. Be aware of tree stand safety and heed the advice given by the MDWFP. Don’t put yourself at risk like I did many years ago. Be safe and live to hunt another day.

Law will freeze sport fish restoration, other conservation funds BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Columnist
Each year, recreational fishing adds $125 billion to the nation’s economy and supports more than one million jobs. The Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950 was enacted to protect this favored sport by placing a federal excise tax on all recreational fishing equipment. In 1984 the Act was amended to include that part of the federal gasoline fuel tax attributable to motor
boat use. The total annual value of the Trust Fund is approximately $650 million. The monies from this fund are apportioned to state conservation agencies for sport fish restoration, boating safety, angler and boat access and other fishing and boating programs. In September, the Office of Management and Budget released its recommendations for budget cuts that include withholding parts of the Sport Fish Restoration
and Boating Trust Fund, a move that would have a significant impact on fisheries conservation and the jobs it supports. This action was triggered by the failure of Congress and the Administration to enact a plan to reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion, as required by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Upon hearing this news, Gordon Robertson, vice president of the American Sportfishing Association said, “The angling and boating community was

Mississippi rabbit season opens Oct. 13 JACKSON — Mississippi’s rabbit hunting season begins October 13, 2012 and closes February 28, 2013. The bag limit is 8 rabbits per day. Rabbit hunting is a fun and exciting way to spend time with family and friends and is great way to introduce new people to hunting. Areas with an ample mixture of grasses, legumes and other broadleaf plants, and low brushy cover typically produce the greatest numbers of rabbits.

“We expect rabbit populations to be mostly abundant where they have good habitat,” said Rick Hamrick, MDWFP Small Game Biologist. “In many areas with suitable habitat, numbers of rabbits observed seem to be up from previous years. Last winter was mild, and vegetation growing conditions this summer have been mostly favorable. We believe those factors contributed to greater survival and reproduction this year.”

shocked to learn that for the first time in its 62year history, the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund – the backbone of fisheries conservation in the United States – is recommended for a cut under sequestration totaling $34 million.” The Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund is not the only conservation fund to be affected. Its older sibling, the Wildlife Restoration Act of 1936 is slated for a $31 million freeze. That act is also user-pay funded and supports wildlife restoration. “This level of cuts to conservation programs that pay their own way is unprecedented and all anglers, hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts must speak up to prevent these cuts,” Robertson concluded. Many other critical conservation funds are also listed for significant cuts.

Aunt denies addiction because pills are prescribed DEAR ABBY: My Aunt “Betty,” with whom I have always been close, is 68 and retired. She is abusing prescription drugs and spends several days a week passed out or confused -- sometimes hallucinating. I rarely call her anymore because all she does is mumble and make odd comments. Sometimes she passes out on the phone. My uncle is in denial. He comes from a generation where family problems are kept within the family. He refuses to seek professional treatment for her or get her into detox. Caring for Aunt Betty is affecting his health, but he refuses to budge. Please don’t tell me to
notify her doctor -I already tried. Aunt Betty is an accomplished Abigail m a n i p u Van Buren lator and doctor Dear Abby s h o p s until she finds new doctors who load her up when the old ones won’t cooperate. She does have genuine health issues that require meds, but her doctors have said she would never be stoned if she used them properly. Confronting my aunt when she’s coherent only makes her angry. She denies she’s abusing drugs
because “they are all prescription.” My mom is dead and I’m worried about my aunt and uncle’s health. Help! -- DESPERATE NIECE IN FLORIDA DEAR DESPERATE: Start calling your aunt more often, because addiction is an illness and denial is one of the symptoms. Older people do react differently to medications than younger ones do, and a dose that might be tolerated when someone is middle-aged can be too great for a senior. Because your uncle isn’t able to insist that your aunt get professional help, allow me to offer a suggestion. The next time she passes out during one

When she winds up in the emergency room, her doctor will be alerted about the overdose. It would be a first step in seeing her get the help she needs. P.S. There’s a common misconception among older people that because a drug is “prescription” it’s somehow not addictive. And your aunt isn’t the first person to fall into this trap.

Today’s Highlight in History On Oct. 7, 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall, one of the main figures of the Teapot Dome scandal, went on trial in Washington, D.C., charged with accepting a bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serving nine months. Ironically, Doheny was acquitted at trial of offering the bribe that Fall was convicted of taking.)
On this date In 1612, Italian poet Giovanni Battista Guarini died in Venice. In 1777, the second Battle of Saratoga began during the American Revolution. (British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered ten days later.) In 1849, author Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore at age 40. In 1858, the fifth debate between Illinois senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place in Galesburg. In 1910, a major wildfire devastated the northern Minnesota towns of Spooner and Baudette, charring at least 300,000 acres. Some 40 people are believed to have died. In 1949, the Republic of East Germany was formed. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard M. Nixon held their second televised debate, in Washington, D.C.
In 1982, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical “Cats” opened on Broadway. (The show closed Sept. 10, 2000, after a record 7,485 performances.) In 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers, who killed Jewish American tourist Leon Klinghoffer, surrendered two days after taking over the ship.) In 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill’s allegations. In 1992, trade representatives of the United States, Canada and Mexico initialed the North American Free Trade Agreement during a ceremony in San Antonio, Texas. In 2001, the current war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s training camps in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Ten years ago In an address to the nation, President George W. Bush labeled Saddam Hussein a “homicidal dictator” and said the threat from Iraq was unique and imminent. The Washington-area sniper struck again, shooting and critically wounding a 13-year-old boy as his aunt dropped him off at school in Bowie, Md. British researchers Sydney Brenner and John E.

tightwad. Carolyn was profoundly touched when he offered to pay for most of the wedding expenses. Last night, Carolyn’s mother confessed to us that Carolyn’s father is not paying for the wedding. He is deducting the expenses from Carolyn’s inheritance from her grandmother. (The father is executor of her grandmother’s estate.)

Maryland, the two sides clashed in what would be the bloodiest single day in American military history. On the day before the battle, Little returned to his quarters, took a bath, and put on some clean clothes. He also received some pickles, preserves, and marmalades from the supplies left behind when the Federals departed. He then rode out to see General Price and hoped for a good night’s rest. But then a report was received that the Federals were advancing, and he took up a position in front of his deployed division. He commented: “... feel very hopeful and think if they attack us we will not only repulse them but gain a victory! God grant it.”

Rosecrans’ Army of the Mississippi moved through a downpour to a rendezvous point at the Jacinto Courthouse. Brigadier General Charles S. Hamilton’s 3rd Division took the lead followed by the 2nd Division commanded by Brigadier General David S. Stanley. Continued rain and incorrect instructions from a local guide slowed the blue-clad columns and prevented them from
getting underway again. On Friday, September 19, the two divisions of Rosecrans were near Barrett’s Crossroads. The Jacinto Road led straight to Iuka, and the lumbering infantry moved forward with a cavalry screen preceding them.

tions, said Sarabeth Quattlebaum, spokeswoman for the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners, in Dallas. “Couples want a party atmosphere and have realized that the more guests mix and mingle, the more relaxed they’ll be,” said Quattlebaum, owner of Sarabeth Events in Keller, Texas. “This also adds a personal touch to their reception party.” Disc jockey Peter Merry says more and more couples are asking him to help organize reception activities, such as contests to win table centerpieces or asking guests to serenade the bride and groom with songs that include the word love in the lyrics. Other couples are incorporating photo booths, where guests can have their pictures taken in silly hats and holding goofy props. With guests from different phases of their lives who may not know each other, brides and grooms want to provide opportunities to interact. “If you can break down any discomfort, guests will stay longer and have more fun on the dance floor,” said Merry, of Dallas, author of “The Best Wedding Reception Ever” (Sellers, 2010). DJ Jimmie Malone, who owns the company Exceptional Receptions in Binghamton, N.Y., encourages couples to include activities to set the tone and help balance the wedding’s “pomp and circumstance.” “It keeps guests engaged,” Malone said. Stephanie Goetz of Binghamton said the games at her 2011 wedding “helped break the ice. Between the different families and friends, the
majority of people didn’t know each other. It was a lot of fun.” Malone sometimes leads guests through an elaborate game in which they must pass a drink, a set of car keys and a dollar bill around the table. He keeps the crowd laughing and guessing about what the items mean. At the end, he announces that the person holding the money is “$1 richer” and that the holder of the drink must serve as the table’s bartender for the evening. The person with the car keys? Malone tells them jokingly, “Congratulations you just won a new car.” The centerpiece goes to the “generous person” who donated the $1. If you can get guests “laughing early in the night, it sets the tone for the rest of the reception,” he said. At other receptions, he has organized a version of “Let’s Make a Deal,” rewarding guests who can produce an expired driver’s license or the oldest penny in the room. Of course, the games may not work for all the guests. “It’s very easy for people to duck out,” Malone said. “If a table chooses not to play,” it’s not a problem. Most times, the games help create a sense of camaraderie at the table where guests may not know one another, he said. Along with trivia, the Hajovskys arranged for an instructor to teach line dances. Jordan Hajovsky loved watching her new friends interact with her college friends and family. “It got everybody on the dance floor,” she recalled of her March 30 wedding.

Broken toe spurs Neil Young to write first book BY DAVID BAUDER AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK — Neil Young’s fans have come to expect wild swings if they’ve followed his music career since the 1960s. There’s the near-violent guitar solos and throbbing rock of his collaborations with Crazy Horse. Lilting acoustic melodies like “Harvest Moon.” Electronic experiments. Moments of genius and ill-advised detours. No one should be surprised that reading his first book, the memoir “Waging Heavy Peace,” should feel exactly the same. Young’s scatter-shot style includes a description of Crazy Horse as a living organism that illustrates an artistic sensibility better than any nonmusician can, along with a recitation of a shopping trip he took once in Hawaii and praise for his electric toothbrush. He generally avoids
specific talk about songwriting. Yet he candidly admits that his song “Alabama,” a trigger for Lynyrd Skynyrd’s answer “Sweet Home Alabama,” was ill-advised. Young’s passions — his family, electric trains, cars and a system to sonically improve digital music files — get as much space as music. “If you hang out with somebody, the conversation doesn’t always run out in a linear fashion, from A to B,” he said. “It’s what’s on their minds. Things happen. You see things out the window, you get interested in that. You get distracted by things. I always thought that was a natural way to go with it.” Ultimately, a reader learns more about Young than they would if he had a ghostwriter’s help, a notion he practically snorts at in disdain. Some free time and a broken toe led the
66-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member into the project. It was in his blood. Young’s father, who died in 2005, was a well-known journalist and author in Canada. Young has always been a careful steward of his musical history and it’s little surprise he’d want to look back at his life in the same way. “My whole M.O. for doing the book was that it was going to be off the top of my head,” he said. “I wasn’t going to spend any time trying to organize anything. That’s always worked for me with everything else I’ve done.” He also wrote with a clear head, swearing off alcohol and marijuana, the latter due to a doctor’s advice and fear that continued use could lead him into dementia, which his father suffered from. That was no easy decision. Young said he wrote virtually all of his songs while high and wondered
if he could without the crutch. His songwriting dry spell lasted more than a year before he started again, and he’s set to release the new two-CD set “Psychedelic Pill” on Oct. 30 that includes some epic jams with Crazy Horse. Young writes movingly about his family and with admiration for son Ben, who is afflicted with severe cerebral palsy. There’s a heavy sense of loss, too, for old friends who died like Danny Whitten of Crazy Horse and David Briggs, his record producer. He was clearly rocked when Kurt Cobain’s suicide note quoted Young’s lyric, “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” The book is not for gossips. Look elsewhere to find out who slept with who or who’s feuding. Some of his direct celebrity references are mundane (Linda Ronstadt’s fondness for peanut but-
ter), although he couldn’t resist a joke about David Crosby’s advanced chemical collection. “I just don’t care about it at all,” Young said. “Tell all? Tell what? ... I don’t like to read it and I don’t like to write about it.” Some celebrity references are oddly oblique, like a paragraph about “my friend Paul.” “Paul and I are friends because we both knew and loved Linda, who I met first during Buffalo Springfield days,” he wrote. “Linda was a wonderful girl and lady. Today we are in touch periodically and talk about music or whatever. I like Paul a lot.” Wait a minute. Would that be McCartney? (Yes). Does that mean Linda McCartney, whose photo of Young is on the book’s back cover, had a prePaul romance with Neil? (No). His editor would occasionally probe Young to
reveal more details. Often he’d just say no. Young said he doesn’t read reviews of his music, but he did sneak some peeks at book reviews. They’re mixed: Entertainment Weekly called it a “jumbled, slightly surreal narrative that struggles with momentum.” The Wall Street Journal called it terrific, “modest, honest, funny and frequently moving.” Young has already written part of a sequel, which he said started out to be about cars and dogs but now is largely about record players. He’s not leaving music behind, though. There’s a tour with Crazy Horse this fall. “When music is finished with me, I’ll be OK,” he said. “Right now I still do it because it seems natural. If it ever comes to the point where I can’t do it justice, when I’m not doing my best, then I’ll stop.”
Latifah, Woodard lead cast of updated ‘Steel Magnolias’ BY SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — The onscreen love between Queen Latifah, Alfre Woodard, Jill Scott and Phylicia Rashad in the updated version of “Steel Magnolias” is real. The actresses, who take on the roles originated by Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton and Olympia Dukakis in the 1989 film, bonded in real life just like their characters do in Truvy’s salon. “It’s been a love fest,” said Scott, who plays Truvy, adding that she would have taken any role to be
a part of the star-studded, small-screen retelling of Robert Harling’s stage play and original film, set to premiere todayon Lifetime. The new “Steel Magnolias,” produced by Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, maintains the flavor of Harling’s story, only this time with an allblack cast. Zadan said he learned over a lunch discussion with Harling about the story that his “dream would be to do it again but do it with an AfricanAmerican cast,” the pro-
ducer recalled. “It could be like a completely new film that you’ve never seen before. We thought, wow, that’s a great idea, so we called our friends and made the movie.” (Latifah, also an executive producer of “Steel Magnolias,” previously worked with Zadan and Meron on “Chicago” and “Hairspray.”) Harling’s words are essentially unchanged in the updated version, producers said, save for references to Facebook and Michelle Obama and some medical details that reflect advances in sci-

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are the one who places a value on your thoughts, deciding which ones deserve credence and action. Because you place a low value on negative and scary thoughts, you easily rise above them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes you want something, but you forget to follow up with “the ask.” Make a conscious effort to ask today, because you are as powerful as you are direct. Your specific requests will quickly be answered. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a bit of fun brewing in your imagination. You will weave together your many interests into a single project. You will need to pull from your wide variety of skills to make a project work. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are sincere and honest and real. Remembering your excellent qualities will help you gain the confidence you need to be stronger. You’ll get an insight about something that has been bothering you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you seek to expand your circle, it will be as though the barriers between you and those you don’t know melt away. You’ll feel as relaxed and easy-going around strangers as you do around your nearest and dearest. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you still don’t feel entirely secure about your future, but you know that whatever happens, you’re just the type of person to find happiness while making the most of what you have.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are powerful because you accept yourself fully and feel good about your weaknesses as well as your strengths. You can be happy about who you are even as you work toward improvement. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You respect yourself and others, and you take responsibility for your actions. With these principles guiding your day, you’ll live honorably and enjoy much. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may not dare to speak of gigantic goals, afraid that they’ll ring ridiculous in your ears. But keep thinking about them. Mull over your dreams long enough, and they will start to enter the realm of possibility. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Change is positive, as long as your values stay the same. Like a child growing into an adult, you won’t change into someone you’re not. You will fulfill the potential of who you always were. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be in a creative mood, and you’ll want to explore new ways of putting things together. Make notes as you go. Later, you’ll pass them on. Always share knowledge; your immortality depends on it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you are so gloriously empathetic, you assume it’s easy for anyone to put themselves in the shoes of another. Not so. Your gift is rare. Set an example for others, and eventually they may follow. (If you would like to write to Holiday Mathis, please go to www. creators.com and click on “Write the Author” on the Holiday Mathis page.)

ence. “That’s why we think the material is classic material,” Meron said, “because it can live no matter where you put it.” As in the original film, the story is set in the south and opens as M’Lynn (Latifah) and her husband are preparing for daughter Shelby’s wedding. The communal center in their town is Truvy’s hair salon, where M’Lynn and her friends, Ouiser (Woodard) and Clairee (Rashad), gather to catch up on their beauty regimens — and gossip. “We connected imme-
diately, so we didn’t really have to fake being girls in the beauty shop,” Latifah said. “We just bonded right away.” It’s that sisterhood among women — and the enduring safety of the salon space — that makes “Steel Magnolias” such a timeless story. Women have long turned to one another in times of joy and sorrow, said Woodard, and the salon is practically sacred ground. The connection the women share in Truvy’s salon is what drew Latifah to the project. “I just love seeing that
sisterhood, that bond between women in this film,” she said. “It’s something that doesn’t really have to change from the play to the original movie to this movie. That’s an important thing for all women: for us to rally around each other in tough times, in good times.” And this may be just the beginning for this incarnation of “Steel Magnolias.” Meron said the team would hit Broadway “in a heartbeat” if given the chance. “We’d be the luckiest people in the world,” he said.

Items from Charley Pride’s life set for museum BY JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press
DALLAS — Growing up the son of sharecroppers in Mississippi, Charley Pride developed a love of country music that propelled him into a legendary career as one of its biggest stars. Now, items donated by Pride from throughout his life will become part of the Smithsonian’s upcoming National Museum of African American History and Culture, set to open in 2015. A gala reception will be held Wednesday in Pride’s hometown of Dallas to celebrate the museum gift, which includes a pair of Pride’s boots, one of his guitars and his Country Music Association male vocalist of the year award from 1971. “Obviously, the one thing that stands out to people is that Charley Pride was country music’s first black superstar. But what he was trying to do was play the music that he liked and entertain his audiences,� said Dwan
Reece, the museum’s curator of music and performing arts. “His links to country music are just as natural as Loretta Lynn’s. This is his childhood. This is the music that he knows.� Pride said that while it was difficult to part with some of the items, it’s nice to know that they will be in the museum where he can always go visit. As the museum began acquiring its collection of items documenting African-American life, art, history and culture, Reece said there was “no question� that Pride’s was an important story to tell. “One of the things we want to express in the exhibit is that AfricanAmericans have a history in all kinds of music,� Reece said. “I’m not sure everybody would expect us to have a section on country music.� Once the museum opens, items from Pride’s life will join a collection that also will represent music artists including
me coming out here on a country music show wearing this permanent tan.’ When I said that there was this big old applause — saying exactly what they were thinking,� Pride said. He told the crowd he would play his three singles and maybe a hit from another singer, but that “I ain’t got time to talk about pigmentation all night.� After the show, fans lined up to get his autograph. “That’s the way it’s been for the last 40 some years,� he said. Pride, who grew up in a family of 11 children in Sledge, Miss., first had his sights set on a career in Major League Baseball. He played in the Negro American League and Pioneer League before country singers Red Sovine and Red Foley heard him performing in Montana — where Pride was working at a smelting plant and playing for the plant ball team — and told him he needed to go to Nashville, Tenn.
Louis Armstrong, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and Michael Jackson. Reece said Pride’s rise to fame during the civil rights movement of the 1960s is among many interesting threads to his story. “He’s a great example of a man transcending the barriers of race who was accepted by audiences because he was a good country singer,� she said. Pride, who at 78 is still touring and heads to Ireland this month and the United Kingdom next month, said he never had trouble from audiences over his race. “I never had one iota of hoot calls from the audience,� Pride said. However, he did recall a 1966 performance when a crowd of 10,000 at Detroit’s Olympia Stadium — the biggest audience of his career at that point — grew quiet upon seeing that the fledgling country singer was black. “I said, ‘You know, I realize it’s a little unique
He eventually made it to Nashville and recorded a demo that RCA Records liked. “They decided to sign me and there’s history looking at you right now,� Pride said. “I’ve been singing all my life. I heard a song I’d like, I’d just sing it, not realizing that I was preparing myself for this, but here I am,� he said. “People liked my singing and once they got me on record, a whole bunch of people liked me.� Pride, who has won three Grammy Awards and had dozens of No. 1 hits, also is donating albums, cassettes and CDs of his music to the museum collection. Other items, including a baseball bat and Texas Rangers uniform, are tied to his love of the sport. Pride is a part owner of the Rangers. Pride’s most popular songs include “Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone,� ‘‘I’m So Afraid of Losing You Again� and the crossover hit “Kiss an
Angel Good Mornin’.� He was the Country Music Association’s entertainer of the year in 1971 and top male vocalist in 1971 and 1972. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000. “My business is selling lyrics, feelings and emotions,� Pride said. “Once you hear me and if you come to see my show, you’ll never forget it because I sell every song. “I hope to keep doing it because I ain’t ready to quit yet.� John Rumble, senior historian for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, said that while Pride is regarded as country music’s biggest African-American star, “in the history of country music, he’s also one of the biggest stars.� “Audiences love him because he’s an entertainer, he’s a performer. They know that he’s singing for them and that he appreciates their support,� Rumble said.
Wisconsin anchor says viewer criticizing weight a ‘bully’ BY CARRIE ANTLFINGER Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Jennifer Livingston has always rebuffed personal attacks, so when the Wisconsin television anchorwoman got an email from a viewer criticizing her weight, she thought nothing of it. But then she thought of her daughters and other children who may not have the same emotional shield. Livingston took the airways Tuesday to respond to the email during a 4-minute segment on WKBT-TV in La Crosse, calling the writer a bully. She urged young viewers not to allow such people
to define their self-worth. She didn’t identify the man, who wrote that he was surprised to see her physical condition hadn’t improved for years. He told her that he hopes she doesn’t consider herself a suitable example for young people, especially girls. The man who wrote the email, Kenneth Krause, told The Associated Press in an interview that his emails had nothing to do with bullying. Livingston, who has worked in broadcast journalism since 1997, said at least 1,000 people have posted supportive messages on her Facebook
page and even more sent her emails. She said many wrote that they wished someone had stood up for them, including some who said they were bullied years ago “and it still haunts them today.� “It’s not what this one particular man said to me,� the 37-year-old said in a phone interview from the station. “It’s the reaction that what I am saying back to him and bullies everywhere is impacting me. I am just shocked right now that the words of one journalist in small La Crosse, Wis., can make such a loud roar.� Livingston said she’s been asked to appear on
national morning shows Wednesday. In his initial email, Krause wrote that “obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make,� then urged Livingston to “reconsider your responsibility to present and promote a healthy lifestyle.� They exchanged a few emails, but Livingston said he wouldn’t back down from his opinion that she was a bad role model. Krause, who wouldn’t reveal his profession or age to the AP, said he no longer had the emails. In her television response, Livingston ac-
knowledged she was overweight but said the man’s words were cruel. Livingston said she could brush off such comments but worried about children who didn’t know how to do the same. “To all of the children out there who feel lost, who are struggling with your weight, with the color of your skin, your sexual preference, your disability, even the acne on your face, listen to me right now: Do not let your self-worth be defined by bullies. “Learn from my experience — that the cruel words of one are nothing compared to the shouts
of many,� she said on the air. Her husband, who also is an anchor at the station, originally posted the email Friday on Facebook. Livingston didn’t decide to address it on air until after a few local radio stations did segments on it and about bullying — and she thought about how her three young daughters would eventually face bullies. “For me, it’s not about him,� she said. “It’s about the culture of emails like his that not only come to us as journalists but to people all over the place and especially to our kids.�

Positive thinking can improve your health Special to the Daily Corinthian
(StatePoint) Life has its ups and downs -- and adversity touches everyone at some point. But some experts believe that a focus on the positive can help you persevere through tough times. For Anita Moorjani for example, life took a horrific turn when she was diagnosed with late stage Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Admitted to the hospital as a terminal patient, Moorjani slipped into a deep coma, nearly dying before she experienced a spontaneous remission and recovery. Her case has since fascinated the medical community. While spontaneous remission of breast cancer is not uncommon, according to a study done by physician researchers at Dartmouth Medical School in 2009, it is rarely seen in a terminal cancer case.
“Her recovery was certainly remarkable. Based on what we have learned about cancer cell behaviors, I am unable to attribute her dramatic recovery to chemotherapy. I speculate that something non-physical switched off the mutated genes,� said Dr. Peter Ko, an oncologist with The University of Southern California, who has studied Moorjani’s case. Moorjani attributes her victory in overcoming cancer to a belief in positive things, learning to live fearlessly, and finally loving herself. In her New York Times bestseller, “Dying to Be Me� (Hay House), Moorjani candidly shares her story, discussing the lessons she learned from her near death experience, what she would have done differently and what she wants people to know now.
Here are some tips Moorjani feels can help others face their own trials: ■Prior to her devastating diagnosis, Moorjani’s life was driven by fear of illness. Rather than letting similar fears and stressors get the better of you, learn to enjoy yourself and take care of what’s inside. ■Much of our suffering stems from feeling “less than.� Love yourself unconditionally and be yourself fearlessly. Remind those close to you that you love them just the way they are. ■Don’t obsess over problems or allow your days to revolve around solving them. It’s actually far more productive to distract yourself and stay occupied with activities that stimulate you in positive, creative ways. ■“Thinking positive� can be tiring. Never suppress negative feelings when
they creep in. Instead of bottling up your emotions, experience them naturally. After all, a bad mood won’t last forever. ■Everyday joys can go a long way toward helping you cope with stress and depression. Be it a box of chocolates, a home cooked meal or a great bottle of wine, don’t be shy about indulging yourself in moderation at meal time with foods that make you happiest. “What’s most important for your well-being is how you feel about yourself during tough times,� Moorjani says. You can’t always eliminate adversity from your life. Whether you are simply experiencing the stresses of daily life, are grieving the loss of a loved one, or struggling with the ramifications of your own health crisis, knowing how to cope is crucial to your health and can make all the difference in the world.

Caring for yourself before, after breast surgery BY NATALIE KELLEY AND KOREY FROSINOTES As trained and experienced fitters for mastectomy products, we are asked a lot of questions about care both before and after breast surgery. In our experience, we have found it is important to educate yourself about the options available to you. Our hope is that you will read the information below and be better prepared to ask your doctor which options are right for you. Prior to surgery, there are a number of questions you will need to consider. Here are some of them: ■ How much of my breast tissue will be removed? And how do I dress after the surgery? ■ How long will my recovery take? ■ Am I a candidate for reconstruction? ■ Will my medical insurance cover the costs of the surgery, post surgical care, and reconstruction? ■ How soon before I can wear breast forms? ■ Should I expect swelling in my arm? ■ What steps can I take to prevent the onset of lymphedema? Before surgery, many surgeons recommend you be fitted for a post-surgical bra kit that will accomplish several things – it supports the surgery area during recovery; it allows you to dress without raising your arms over your head; and it holds a very light, postsurgical “puff” form for use following the surgery. Most insurance plans allow for the costs associated with breast cancer treatment, but as with all insurance plans, you are well served if you consult with your insurance carrier about coverage prior to surgery. Each company

We can assist you with this inquiry, but, again, it’s always best to call before surgery and to discuss the options with your doctor. Lymph edema is a condition seen following breast surgeries in approximately 25%-65% of breast cancer cases, but particularly in those who experience lymph node removal or who undergo radiation therapy. Physical therapists can often teach patients with lymph edema various massage techniques and recommended garments that reduce the effects of this swelling condition. Left untreated, lymph edema can lead to extreme swelling, skin infection, and oozing. After your surgical site has healed (approximately 4-6 weeks in most cases), you can make an appointment with us to be fitted for and to receive the post-surgical products you need. There are many styles of bras available for your selection and all feature a range of function and design, from seamless molded to M-frame designs that provide needed support for larger breast forms. We will take measurements, evaluate your individual needs, and we will work with you to create the proper forms for symmetry and optimal appearance. Breast forms come in a variety of materials, from foam to silicone, and they vary in weight, shape and size. We can even order shaping or
partial forms for women who need them, especially during reconstruction. Our goal is always to assist women in achieving an image for themselves that is important following breast surgery. Our product line includes many different types of forms for you to consider. As women, we often feel the need to nurture and put others’ needs before our own. While recovering from breast cancer surgery and
treatment, don’t forget to take care of yourself. You’ve been through a traumatic experience, and these helpful tips are designed to assist you in the transition.

Breast Cancer: Causes, risk factors, prevention According to the American Cancer Society there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer. But there are things all women can do that might reduce their risk and help increase the odds that if cancer does occur, it is found at an early, more treatable stage.
Lowering your risk You can lower your risk of breast cancer by changing those risk factors that can be changed. Body weight, physical activity, and diet have all been linked to breast cancer, so these might be areas where you can take action. Both increased body weight and weight gain as an adult are linked with a higher risk of breast cancer after menopause. Alcohol also increases risk of breast cancer. Even low levels of alcohol intake have been linked with an increase in risk. Many studies have shown that moderate to vigorous physical activity is linked with lower breast cancer risk. A diet that is rich in vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish, and low-fat dairy products has also been linked with a lower risk of breast cancer in some studies. But it is not clear if specific vegetables, fruits, or other foods can lower risk. Most studies have not found that lowering fat intake has much of an effect on breast cancer risk. At this time, the best advice about diet and activity to possibly reduce the risk
st
of breast cancer is to: ■ Get regular, intentional physical activity. ■ Reduce your lifetime weight gain by limiting your calories and getting regular physical activity. ■ Avoid or limit your alcohol intake. For more information, see American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention. Women who choose to breastfeed for at least several months may also get an added benefit of reducing their breast cancer risk. Not using hormone therapy after menopause can help you avoid raising your risk. It’s not clear at this time if environmental chemicals that have estrogenlike properties (like those found in some plastic bottles or certain cosmetics and personal care products) increase breast cancer risk. If there is an increased risk, it is likely to be very small. Still, women who are concerned may choose to avoid products that contain these substances when possible.
Finding breast cancer early Other than lifestyle changes, the most important action a woman can take is to follow the American Cancer Society’s guidelines for early detection. Early detection will not prevent breast cancer, but it can help find it when the likelihood of successful treatment is greatest.

For women who are or may be at increased risk If you are a woman at increased risk for breast cancer (for example, because you have a strong family history of breast cancer, a known genetic mutation of a BRCA gene, or you have had DCIS, LCIS, or biopsies that have shown pre-cancerous changes), there may be some things you can do to reduce your chances of developing breast cancer. Before deciding which, if any, of these may be right for you, talk with your doctor to understand your risk and how much any of these approaches might lower this risk.
Genetic testing for BRCA gene mutations Many women may have relatives with breast cancer, but in most cases this is not the result of BRCA gene mutations. Genetic testing for these mutations can be expensive and the results are often not clear cut. Testing can have a wide range of consequences that need to be considered. It should only be done when there is a reasonable suspicion that a mutation may be present. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that only women with a strong family history be evaluated for genetic testing for BRCA mutations. This group represents only about 2 percent of adult women in the United States. The USPSTF recommends that women who are not of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish heritage should be referred for genetic evaluation if they have any of the following: ■ 2 first-degree relatives (mother, sisters, daughters) with breast cancer, one of whom was diagnosed when they were younger than 50 ■ 3 or more first- or second-degree relatives (includes grandmothers, aunts) diagnosed with breast cancer ■ Both breast and ovarian cancer among first- and second-degree relatives ■ A first-degree relative diagnosed with cancer in both breasts
■ 2 or more first- or second-degree relatives diagnosed with ovarian cancer ■ A male relative with breast cancer Women of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish heritage should be referred for genetic evaluation if they have: ■ A first-degree relative with breast or ovarian cancer ■ 2 second-degree relatives on the same side of the family with breast or ovarian cancer Other medical groups have different guidelines for referral for genetic risk evaluation that your doctor may follow. For example, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines advise referring women 60 and under who have triple negative breast cancer. For more information, see American Cancer Society’s topic Genetic Testing: What You Need to Know. You may also want to visit the National Cancer Institute web site (www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/Genetic-Testing-for-Breastand-Ovarian-Cancer-Risk).
Breast cancer chemoprevention Chemoprevention is the use of drugs to reduce the risk of cancer. Several drugs have been studied for lowering breast cancer risk: Tamoxifen: Tamoxifen blocks some of the effects of estrogen on breast tissue. It has been used for many years to reduce the risk of recurrence in localized breast cancer and as a treatment for advanced breast cancer when the tumor is estrogen-receptor positive (see the Amercian Cancer Society’s section, “How is breast cancer treated?”). Tamoxifen can also lower the risk of getting breast cancer in women who are at increased risk for the disease. It seems to affect the risk of breast cancers that are estrogen receptor−positive (ERpostive), but not those that are estrogen receptor−negative (ER-negative). Most breast cancers that occur in women after menopause are ER-positive. Results from the Breast Cancer PrePlease see CANCER | 6

Texas hospital plans ‘moonshot’ against cancer BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE Associated Press
The nation’s largest cancer center is launching a massive “moonshot� effort against eight specific forms of the disease, similar to the all-out push for space exploration 50 years ago. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston expects to spend as much as $3 billion on the project over the next 10 years and already has “tens of millions� of dollars in gifts to jump start it now, said its president, Dr. Ronald DePinho. One of the cancers is myelodysplastic syndrome. “Good Morning America� coanchor Robin Roberts has that kind and had a bone marrow transplant to treat it on Thursday. The others are especially deadly forms of breast and ovarian cancer, along with lung, prostate, melanoma and two types of leukemia. The project aims to find cures and
lower deaths. Although no overall benchmarks have been set, individual projects for various cancers have specific goals. With genetic information and more precise drugs, “we have many of the tools we need to pick the fight of the 21st century� and find ways to defeat these cancers, DePinho said. Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, which has no role in the project, praised DePinho’s effort. “I’m thrilled to see somebody take the lead,� Brawley said. “The results that I see him promising, in my mind are reasonable,� both in terms of raising money and fighting cancer. Cancer death rates have been falling since the 1990s at an average of more than 1 percent per year but the disease remains a top killer worldwide. In the United States this year, estimates are
that more than 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with cancer, and more than 500,000 will die from it. The MD Anderson program was inspired by the goal President John F. Kennedy announced in 1962 to put a man on the moon by the end of that decade. He described it to Congress that May and in a speech in September at Rice University, a mile from MD Anderson. The Houston cancer center treats 112,000 patients a year and has been building a database of tumor samples and their genetic characteristics, especially of breast and ovarian cancers. A year ago, when DePinho became its new president, he started a competition among its researchers to submit ideas for how to make fresh inroads against the disease. Six teams were chosen to tackle the eight cancers. Each team has specific goals, rang-
ing from basic research to clinical trials that test treatments, biomarkers and diagnostics. Some projects are aimed at novel prevention methods — a mandatory role for any of the federally funded National Comprehensive Cancer Centers, DePinho said. The teams will focus on personalizing treatment according to an individual’s tumor genes, real-time assessment of the effectiveness of therapies being tried, better diagnoses and early detection and reducing side effects of treatment. Money for all of the moonshot projects will come from foundations, gifts from individuals, grants, revenues from treating the additional patients the center expects to attract, and patents and royalties from discoveries, MD Anderson officials said. That will be on top of the $700 million the cancer center spends each year now on research.

vention Trial (BCPT) have shown that women at increased risk for breast cancer are less likely to develop the disease if they take tamoxifen. Women in the study took either tamoxifen or a placebo pill for 5 years. After 7 years of followup, women taking tamoxifen had 42% fewer breast cancers than women who took the placebo, although there was no difference in the risk of dying from breast cancer. Tamoxifen is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reducing breast cancer risk in women at high risk. It can be used in women even if they haven’t gone through menopause. Tamoxifen has side effects that include increased risks of endometrial (uterine) cancer (in women who have gone through menopause) and serious blood clots, so women should consider the possible benefits and risks of
tamoxifen before deciding if it is right for them. And while tamoxifen seems to reduce breast cancer risk in women with BRCA2 gene mutations, the same may not be true for those with BRCA1 mutations. Raloxifene: Like tamoxifen, raloxifene (EvistaÂŽ) also blocks the effect of estrogen on breast tissue. A study comparing the effectiveness of the 2 drugs in women after menopause found that raloxifene worked nearly as well as tamoxifen in reducing the risk of invasive breast cancer and non-invasive cancer. Raloxifene also had lower risks of certain side effects such as uterine cancer and blood clots in the legs or lungs, compared to tamoxifen (although the risk of blood clots was still higher than normal). Like tamoxifen, it only lowers the risk of ER-postive breast cancer and not ERnegative tumors. Raloxifene is FDA approved to help reduce breast cancer risk in women past

menopause who have osteoporosis or are at high risk for breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors: Drugs such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane are also being studied as breast cancer chemopreventive agents in post-menopausal women. These drugs, called aromatase inhibitors, are already being used to help prevent breast cancer recurrences. Exemestane and the other aromatase inhibitors can also have side effects, such as causing joint pain and stiffness. These drugs also can cause bone loss, leading to a higher risk of osteoporosis. None of these drugs is currently FDA-approved for reducing the risk of developing breast cancer. Many of the drugs mentioned here are discussed further in the American Cancer Society section, “How is breast cancer treated?� For more information on the possible benefits and risks of chemopreventive drugs see the Amercian Cancer Society document, Medicines to Reduce Breast Cancer Risk.

For the few women who have a very high risk for breast cancer, surgery to remove the breasts or ovaries may be an option. Preventive (prophylactic) mastectomy: Removing both breasts before cancer is diagnosed can greatly reduce the risk of breast cancer (by up to 97 percent). Some women diagnosed with cancer in one breast choose to have the
other, healthy breast removed as well to prevent a second breast cancer. Breast removal does not completely prevent breast cancer because even a very careful surgeon will leave behind at least a few breast cells. The cells can go on to become cancerous. While this type of surgery has been shown to be helpful in studies of large groups of women with certain conditions, there is no way to know ahead of time if this surgery will benefit any one woman. Some women with BRCA mutations will develop breast cancer early in life, and have a very high risk of getting a second breast cancer. Prophylactic mastectomy before the cancer occurs might add many years to their lives. But while most women with BRCA mutations develop breast cancer, some don’t. These women would not benefit from the surgery, but they would still have to deal with its after effects. Prophylactic oophorectomy (ovary removal): Women with a BRCA mutation may reduce their risk of breast cancer by 50 percent or more by having their ovaries surgically removed before menopause. This is likely because the surgery removes the main sources of estrogen in the body (the ovaries). It is important that women with a BRCA mutation recognize they also have a high risk of developing ovarian cancer. Most doctors recommend that women with BRCA mutations have their ovaries surgically removed once they finish having children to lower this risk. (Source: American Cancer Society; www.cancer.com.)
