Fire destroys mobile home

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Firefighters from throughout the county converged on the Jacinto area Saturday morning in an effort to battle a fire that destroyed a mobile home.

Alcorn County Fire Coordinator Rickey Gibens said firefighters were dispatched to the double-wide mobile home on County Road 449 early Saturday.

Jacinto Volunteer Fire Department led the response

backed up by Rienzi Volunteer Fire Department and numerous other departments from throughout the county.

Gibens said the fire was fully involved when the first firefighters arrived on the scene and the home was destroyed.

Only the front porch and a few other external elements were left standing.

Firefighters were called back to the home around 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon to extinguish some of the debris that had flared up again.

Gibens said no one was at home at the time of the fire.

The cause has not been determined and Gibens said work to determine the exact cause for the blaze will begin once the wreckage cools down enough to be examined.

The first sales tax proceeds delivered in the new fiscal year posted a healthy gain for the city.

The mid-October deposit totaled $443,926.56, an increase of almost $20,000, or 5 percent, from the same month a year earlier. It reflects sales activity at local establishments during the month of August.

While results were inconsistent across the state’s northeast corner, with six of 11 area municipalities posting gains, the general trend across the state was positive. The Mississippi State Tax Commission returned a total of $32.28 million to cities and towns, an increase of 2.6 percent.

With a solid run of months posting increases, the city ended fiscal 2012 with a gain from fiscal 2011 of that same

number, 2.6 percent.

With $86,880.84, the tourism tax posted a significant 10 percent drop, but the yearago total was unusually large.

The 2 percent tax on prepared food and lodging ended fiscal 2012 with a 5 percent increase, averaging about $88,200 monthly.

Other sales tax results from the region at mid-October: ■ Booneville — $148,980.24 (+5%) ■ Burnsville — $12,552.22 (+3%) ■ Farmington — $5,259.65 (+42%) ■ Glen — $1,761.03 (-0%) ■ Iuka — $71,891.38 (+21%) ■ Kossuth — $3,580.33 (-3%) ■ Rienzi — $2,525.13 (-12%) ■ Ripley — $97,187.35 (-1%) ■ Tupelo — $1,460,046.65 (+4%) ■ Walnut — $15,297.58 (-10%)

Giving boost to children’s health CT-A offers tips through

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A recent effort by a coalition of leaders throughout the community to help get the community’s youngest residents off to the best start possible brought a new emphasis on childhood healthcare to the fun and excitement of the recent Alcorn County Fair.

The Commission on the Future of Alcorn County hosted its first ever Excel by 5 Children’s Health Fair last month during the fair. The event brought together healthcare and nutrition specialists from throughout the community to provide free health screen-

ings and information for children.

Magnolia Regional Health Center Community Education and Events Coordinator Penny McDonald said the effort was part of the hospital’s commitment to the health component of the Excel by 5 program.

Corinth and Alcorn County are currently working to achieve certification as an Excel by 5 community, with the effort spearheaded by the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County.

Excel by 5 is a program developed by the Mississippi State University Early Childhood Institute to help communities sup-

port early childhood development from ages 0 to 5 and ensure children are prepared and ready to learn when they begin school.

The program focuses on four key areas: Community involvement, family and parent support, early care and education and health and safety.

McDonald said MRHC is part of the group focusing on the health and safety component of the program and one of the goals is to ensure that all children are getting the health care they need.

VFW post launching men’s auxiliary

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3962 is looking to expand its base of support with a men’s auxiliary.

The Ladies’ Auxiliary is an active and well-established part of the VFW, and members believe the time has come for men to have the same opportunity, particularly in a time when more women are serving in the military. The post is now recruiting members to organize the new auxiliary.

“The requirements for the Ladies’ Auxiliary and Men’s Auxiliary are basically the same as far as the relationships,” said Tom Chartres, who has been appointed interim president for the Men’s Auxiliary. “You do not have to be a veteran to join this auxiliary.”

Eligibility is limited to husbands, widowers, fathers, grandfathers, sons, grandsons, brothers and half-brothers of individuals who are eligible for VFW membership. The minimum age is 16.

Applications are available at the VFW at 1 Purdy School Road or from Quartermaster Tom Reinke, who believes there will be good interest in the new auxiliary.

“There are quite a few that would like to join the regular VFW, but they are not qualified because they haven’t served boots-on-the-ground in a combat area,” he said.

The Men’s Auxiliary needs at least 15 dues-paying members Please see AUXILIARY | 2A

Halloween makeovers

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Just in time for Halloween, a Corinth Theatre-Arts makeup artist has taken the time to demonstrate and explain her craft for Daily Corinthian readers.

Amber Fletcher is a CT-A board member and instructor at the Corinth School of Cosmetology. Her makeup artistry in the production of “Marley & Scrooge” earned Fletcher a Magnolia Award at this year’s “Maggies” ceremony.

For the benefit of folks thinking about Halloween this time of year, Fletcher recently transformed three young volunteers using only makeup and colored hairspray.

Over the course of a slightly over a half-hour, the makeup artist turned Iuka resident Jeremy Taylor into a much olderlooking version of himself.

The makeup for the two other volunteers was inspired by “Alice in Wonderland.” Rebekah Petty, 18, of Iuka, became the Red Queen and 17-year-old Corinth senior Journey McCalister morphed into the Cheshire Cat. For Old Man Taylor, Fletcher used eyeliner to exaggerate the natural lines in the 22-year-

old’s face, using the eyeliner to trace all of the lines in his face.

“If you want a harsher effect use black eyeliner, and for a lighter effect use brown,” Fletcher pointed out.

The next step in creating Taylor’s ghoulish old appearance was to apply a gray eye shadow.

This color creates the illusion of decay. The makeover into an old, old man was literally topped off with white hairspray.

The first step in the two girls’ makeup jobs was to apply a layer of white paint. This serves as a canvas. It will make the colors applied later stand out better and remain on the skin for longer. The most time-consuming part of the process is waiting for the white base layer to dry.

Rebekah’s Red Queen details were created by using eye-shadow for the coloring around her eyes outlined with black eyeliner. The Cheshire Cat required green hair spray — readily available in many stores, especially around Halloween — and green eye shadow to give Journey the proper face markings of a cat.

Fletcher also used liquid latex to glue her hair extensions into place.

first large community efforts of the program aimed at children’s health and offered free eye, dental and medical screenings to children along with information on nutrition, safety and other healthrelated issues. McDonald explained the goal of the health component of Excel by 5 is to help address the physical issues that can create barriers and difficulties in learning later in life by ensuring access to needed care during these vital formative years.

McDonald said they had over 150 children participate in the event, with more than half of those in the targeted birth to fiveyears-old age range. Hosting the event in conjunction with the fair offered them a unique opportunity to reach children and families by taking advantage of the draw of the fun and excitement of the fair

The education coordinator said they’re already making plans to host the event at the fair next year after seeing the success of this year’s effort.

Our Pansies Will Make You Smile!

What are some of the makeup artist’s tips for anyone who wishes to go the makeup route for Halloween?

First and most importantly, get the basic cream makeup for the “canvas� layer. “The colored cream is available everywhere right now,� said Fletcher. “It’ll make the other makeup last longer and you won’t have to worry about it falling off for awhile.�

And with the canvas in place, less colored makeup is required for the detail work.

Where should one purchase makeup to achieve the wanted effects? Should it be purchased from a specialty store or company? “The dollar store has all kinds of makeup that comes in kits. K-Mart has a really wide variety and all different colors. When you’ve got your own palette, you can be anything you can want to make,� she said. “There were tons of colors at Wal-Mart the last time I was there.�

Another tip: Don’t waste money on special makeup applicators. A plain cotton swab will perform just as good — and save on expenses.

One of the best things about using makeup as opposed to a mask is the opportunity to get creative, Fletcher said. “Everybody can buy the same mask, but you can create something of your own with makeup,� she emphasized.

CT-A Artistic Director Cristina Skinner said the Halloween makeup demonstration is a way to show how the local theatre company strives to include all artistic processes with the

performing arts. “We look for people who can paint, craft props, do scenery — and there is also a great need for artists who can create the world of the characters,� Skinner said. “Makeup is part of the outside-in process, a way to help the audience believe in the character.�

CT-A will be using some new makeup techniques in this season’s production of “The Wizard of Oz,� coming March 2, 2013 to the Crossroads Playhouse. “We want to create a really fantastic world, and we want the faces of the characters — characters we all know and love — to be fantastic as well,� said the artistic director.

While masks can create very specific and striking effects onstage, they also limit the actors’ ability of expression by muffling voices and covering facial expression.

Another reason CT-A intends to utilize masks to conjure the land of Oz, is because the show will be taken on the road, with several performances slated for local schools. “Without having to use the masks, our actors will be able to see and won’t fall off the stage,� Skinner said with a laugh.

Another purpose of the recent makeup demonstration is to get the young theatre people acquainted with a skill they’ll get to know better if they choose to pursue a career in theatre — which all three of the volunteers intend to do.

Jeremy, who had a role in the recent CT-A play “Rumors� and is in this weekend’s production of “You Can’t Take It With You,� wants to experience more of the life of an actor.

Rebekah is a student at the Corinth School of Cosme-

tology. She was the stage manager for “Rumors� and appeared in several CT-A productions, including “Footloose� and “You Can’t Take It With You.�

Journey, the youngest of the trio, also appeared in “Footloose.�

One purpose of the demo is to introduce the young theatre-lovers to makeup techniques as a preview of the stage makeup classes they will be required to take while studying theatre in college.

In the end, it’s all about having fun. “People like to dress up. It’s fun to dress up and be different people,� said Skinner. “The casual participant can learn a lot from the theatre or talking to Amber. We want to get the community involved and compare what we do with Halloween with the new characters they create.�

Skinner said people can incorporate the makeup tips they learned from the local theatre company into their own plans for Halloween. Another perk: At a Halloween party, it’s much easier to function — that is, to eat, speak and drink -- in makeup than a mask.

And that’s the real purpose of Halloween and learning about makeup and all the time spent finding and implementing the perfect disguise for the last day of October. “Halloween is the one time of year you can have fun with it,� said Fletcher. “It’s the only time you can go out in public dressed like the Joker — and people won’t call the law on you!�

Early voting brisk in McNairy County

BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy County voters have already been coming in to cast their ballots at a brisk pace this week during the early voting period.

Administrator of elections Joanie Collins said she expected a heavy turnout for this year’s early voting because of the high interest in the

race for president of the United States.

Collins said that 299 voted Wednesday and over 240 had voted early just after lunch on Thursday. She expected to top Wednesday’s total before the office closed at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

“The first day total was double what we normally get on a regular day during early voting,”

said Collins. “We are going to be extremely busy during this election.”

McNairy County voters can vote in the election commission office in the basement of the McNairy County Courthouse.

The office is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday-Friday and from 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday. The office is closed on Sunday.

Collins did not believe the photo ID required for voters were going to be a problem at all during this election.

“We have been through two elections since the photo ID requirement was put in and we have not had any problems with it.”

If you have a question about voting early, call the election office at 731645-6432.

Unemployment drops in McNairy County

BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — The unemployment news was positive for McNairy County based on the numbers recently released by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The county dipped just below double-digit unemployment with a rate of 9.8 percent for August.

McNairy County reversed a slide that had seen the county’s jobless rate increase for three consecutive months of this summer.

The county had a labor force of 11,120 in August and 10,030 of those had jobs during August. This left 1,100 possible workers without a job.

McNairy County’s August jobless rate of 9.8 percent was 0.3 percent

WHY YOU

lower than July’s total of 10.1 percent. The unemployment rate was almost one percent higher than the same month in 2011.

Tennessee had 90 counties register a decrease in unemployment for August and just two counties saw their jobless rate increase and three counties remained the same as in July.

West Tennessee still

lags behind the other two grand divisions of the state in unemployment. The West State has six of the eight highest county totals in unemployment in the state.

Lincoln County again leads the state with 5.7 percent unemployment, the lowest in the state.

Scott County has the highest unemployment in the state at 17.5 percent.

Motorists urged to watch for deer

BY JEFF YORK Special to the Daily Corinthian

The Tennessee Highway Patrol cautions motorists to watch out for deer on or near the roadways this fall season. An increase in deerrelated crashes is likely during the months of October through December due to deer mating and hunting season.

“Deer pose a danger to motorists throughout the year, but especially in the fall,” THP Colonel Tracy Trott said. “November is typically the worst month for deer-related crashes.

It is important to exercise caution, slow down and stay alert in areas where deer are populated.”

Corinth, Miss.

Our View Woody Harrell deserves recognition for contributions to Corinth, Shiloh and area A proclamation by the speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives and District 2 Rep. Nick Bank of Corinth recently honored Corinth resident and longtime Shiloh National Military Park Superintendent Woody Harrell.

It was a fitting tribute to a man who has been a great community leader and longtime cooperative spirit between local groups and the National Park Service.

A group of legislators presented a plaque inscribed with the words of the proclamation to Harrell recently at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.

The proclamation commends “the esteemed character” of Harrell and congratulates him upon the occasion of his retirement from Shiloh Park.

With a 40-year career in the National Park Service and 22 years of service as superintendent at Shiloh, Harrell is the longest serving superintendent in the park’s history.

The proclamation outlines Harrell’s life and career and pays tribute to some of his greatest achievements as park superintendent, including obtaining the funds to stabilize and study the Indian mounds in the park which were threatened by erosion by the Tennessee River; acquiring “buffer” land surrounding the park; and his work on developing the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, particularly the courtyard and unique water feature.

U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran is quoted in the proclamation, describing Harrell as “a true scholar of the Civil War.” The proclamation also pays tribute to Harrell’s personal achievements.

After visiting 397 national parks and historic sites, Harrell kicked off his retirement with a six-month hike of the Appalachian Trail with his wife, Cynthia. The hike began in Georgia and recently finished in Maine.

“It is the policy of the House of Representatives to commend the dedicated career of remarkable individuals, such as Mr. Harrell, whose career and service should be appreciated by all citizens of this great state,” the proclamation read.

“Now, therefore, one behalf of the House of Representatives of the State of Mississippi, we hereby commend the esteemed career of Mr. Woody Harrell and congratulate him upon the occasion of his retirement from Shiloh National Military Park, and extend warmest wishes for continued success in all of his future endeavors, and for good health, happiness and peace of mind in the later years of his life.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Thanks, Woody, for all you have done for Corinth, Shiloh and the Crossroads area. The entire community joins us as we wish you the best in the retirement.

Gill represented intriguing template for Democrats STARKVILLE — When the news came that Mayor Joel Gill, D-Pickens, was killed in an automobile accident on Thursday, I could not help but reflect on what an intriguing template he presented to Mississippi’s struggling Democratic Party.

Joel Gill, in addition to being an incredibly nice, positive and genuinely dedicated public servant, was truly a conservative Democrat. In this age of the reliable demonization of any opponent from the party across the aisle, Gill’s Republican opponents were hard pressed to find issues with which they had much policy disagreement with the avuncular cattleman and he was simply too polite and courteous to give his GOP opponents much to shoot at personally, either.

U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Pearl, faced Gill twice in 2008 and in 2010 for the 3rd District congressio-

nal seat that Harper first won in 2008.

I moderated a couple of campaign forums where Sid Salter the two faced Columnist off and hosted both as guests on my old SuperTalk radio show.

Particularly in the 2008 race and perhaps only a bit less in 2010, I saw exhibited

by Harper and Gill a mutual respect and a genuinely cordial and congenial relationship in a campaign that is rare in partisan politics.

Gill, quick with a joke and a story and likewise passionate about his beliefs, was workmanlike in his campaign but rarely let things get personal or petty.

“Sidney and I were saddened to learn that Joel had passed,” said Harper on Friday. “Joel was always a gentleman and ran very good and honorable races

against us.”

Gill was also a candidate for agriculture commissioner in 2011. A native of Joplin, Missouri, Gill’s family moved to Mississippi when he was a boy in 1963. Gill was a second-generation cattleman who joined his father’s Jackson cattle business after a stint running a suburban Jackson gas station.

He moved to Pickens in 1979, where he would enter public service as a town alderman and later as mayor.

Gill served two terms on the board of aldermen and was elected mayor in 2009 by a wide margin. In his first bid for Congress, Gill took 127,698 votes or 37.5 percent of the vote in a district that was drawn to elect a Republican in much the same way that the state’s 2nd congressional district is drawn to elect a Democrat.

Gill believed in the Democratic Party, but was unashamed of his basic fiscal conservatism. I asked him

often how he could justify his personal conservatism with some of the platform planks of the Democratic Party.

“I’m a conservative Democrat and I believe in changing the party from within rather than just criticizing from the outside,” Gill said.

“Single party politics were bad when the Democrats were in the majority in Mississippi and I don’t think that’s changed just because the Republicans have the upper hand now.”

Unlike most “perennial” candidates, Joel Gill wasn’t about ego or publicity. He really believed in the ideals he espoused. He worked hard. He was honest. And win, lose or draw, Mississippi’s political landscape was brighter when he was still on the horizon.

Yet Woodrow Wilson won in 1916 on the slogan, “He Kept Us Out of War!” And Dwight Eisenhower won a landslide with his declaration about the stalemate in Harry Truman’s war: “I shall go to Korea.”

Richard Nixon pledged in 1968 that “new leadership will end the war and win the peace.” Vice President Hubert Humphrey, behind by double digits on Oct. 1, promised to halt the bombing of North Vietnam. He united his party and closed the gap to less than a point

by Election Day. George McGovern ran as an antiwar candidate in 1972. By November, almost all U.S. troops were home from Vietnam, however, and in late October Henry Kissinger had announced, “Peace is at hand.” Nixon had expropriated the peace issue. Result: 49 states.

Today, after the longest wars in our history in Afghanistan and Iraq, Americans are sick over the 6,500 dead and 40,000 wounded, fed up with the $2 trillion in costs, and disillusioned with the results that a decade of sacrifice has produced in Baghdad and Kabul.

A w a r e of this war weariness, especially among women, President Obama and Pat Vice PresiBuchanan dent Biden seem intent Columnist on appearing before the nation on Election Day as the sole peace party. This fact leaps out of a close read of Biden’s debate transcript.

Lost in his manic grinning and mocking laughter at Paul Ryan’s points and rude interruptions was a recurring theme: President Obama ended the war in Iraq and is dialing back the war in Afghanistan, but Ryan and Romney seem to be looking to new military interventions in Syria and Iran.

Consider but a few Biden comments nestled in the transcript of his half of that 90-minute debate.

“The last thing we need now is another war.”

“Are you (Ryan) ... going to go to war?”

“We will not let them (the Iranians) acquire a nuclear weapon, period, unless he’s (Ryan) talking about going to war.”

“War should always be the absolute last resort.”

“He (Ryan) voted to put two wars on a credit card.”

“We’ve been in this war (Afghanistan) for over a decade. ... We are leaving in 2014, period.”

About intervention in Syria, Biden said: “The last thing America needs is to

get into another ground war in the Middle East, requiring tens of thousands if not well over a hundred thousand American forces.”

This drumbeat, implying Romney and Ryan are champing at the bit to get into the war in Syria or into a new war with Iran, was deliberate.

Biden’s words almost surely reflect what Democratic focus groups, pollsters, political analysts and pundits are advising the party to say and do: Play the peace card Monday night in Boca Raton, Fla., and tag Romney-Ryan as a trigger-happy ticket of the war party.

The charges Romney is likely to hear from the president and the questions he is likely to face from the moderator, pushing him toward bellicosity, are not that difficult to discern.

“Governor, President Obama has said Iran will not be allowed to get a nuclear weapon. You have said Iran will not be allowed to have a ‘nuclear weapons capability.’ What is the difference? Doesn’t Iran already have the capability to produce a nuclear weapon?

What will you do about it?”

“Governor, Paul Ryan said in his debate Iran ‘is racing toward a nuclear weapon.” But 16 U.S. intelligence agencies said in 2007 and reaffirmed in 2011 that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. What is your evidence that Iran is ‘racing toward a nuclear weapon?’”

“Governor, you have said

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

of America and Israel, ‘The world must never see daylight between our two nations.’ Does that mean if Israel attacks Iran, you would take us to war on Israel’s side?”

“Governor, at VMI you said, ‘In Syria, I will work ... to identify and organize those members of the opposition who share our values and ensure they obtain the arms they need to defeat Assad’s tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.’ Would you give surface-to-air missiles to the Syrian rebels?”

“Governor, Japan and China are at sword’s point over the Senkaku Islands. If war breaks out, are we obligated by our alliance with Japan to come to her defense?”

The Republican peril in Boca Raton is that headlines the next day will have Romney, consciously or inadvertently, laying down some marker for a new war.

“Peace through strength,” the Eisenhower-Reagan slogan, is the GOP slogan that still resonates with American voters.

Even in 1940, FDR, though plotting war, ran as a peace candidate: “I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.”

Hopefully, Gov. Romney will say something like this, and mean it.

State Briefs Associated Press

Wife accuses man of luring mayor away SOUTHAVEN — The former wife of Southaven Mayor Greg Davis is seeking $1 million in an alienation of affection lawsuit against a 26-year-old Starkville, Miss., man who she says broke up her marriage by luring Davis away from her.

Suzann Savage Davis claims in the suit that Jansen Fair told Greg Davis he was looking forward to a tryst in Las Vegas. The Commercial Appeal reports the suit was filed Thursday in DeSoto County.

It’s the latest in a string of legal battles for the Southaven mayor. He was ordered to repay more than $170,000 in city funds that the Mississippi auditor’s

office says he misspent and he faces possible criminal charges in an FBI probe. Also, Davis’s former wife seeks to change their divorce terms in a separate court action.

MSU says campaign tops $100 million goal STARKVILLE — Mississippi State University has topped its $100 million goal in its fundraising campaign.

The StatePride campaign began in 2009 and runs through the end of the year. As of Friday, the MSU Foundation had collected gifts and pledges of more than $104 million.

The campaign has raised more than $71 million to pay for undergraduate and graduate student scholarships.

Almost $33 million has been raised to support faculty members, including creating endowed professorships. MSU says it now has 65 professorships that are endowed with private funds, a number that counts 12 where gifts have been pledged but not received. Endowed positions often allow a school to boost a professor’s salary or provide extra money for research.

The MSU Foundation raises money and administers endowments for the 20,000-student university.

Woman to plead guilty to SS fraud ABERDEEN — Federal court records say a north Mississippi woman plans to plead guilty to stealing from the Social Security

Administration.

Sara Deloach of Columbus is charged with taking survivors benefit checks that she knew she weren’t hers from August 2008 to December 2009.

The amount cited in court records is $13,684.

She was indicted April 25 and had pleaded not guilty. A change of plea hearing is scheduled for Oct. 31 in U.S. District Court in Aberdeen.

10 tornadoes counted from outbreak JACKSON — The National Weather Service now counts 10 tornadoes in Mississippi from storms Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

Surveyors continued examining damage Friday.

At least seven people were injured in the storms, though no injuries were life-threatening.

The biggest twister traveled 16 miles from Scott County into Newton County east of Jackson. With a half-mile-wide path, it was rated EF-3 on the Fujita scale, with peak winds estimated at 140 mph.

The second-strongest storm had top winds of 125 mph, running 7 miles from Sharkey County into Humphreys County.

Eight shorter-lived tornadoes included two in Leake County near Carthage, one in Neshoba County near Bethsaida, one in Bolivar County near Shelby, one in Grenada County near Grenada, one in Yazoo County northeast of Benton and two in

Humphreys County near Louise.

No-fly list strands Hawaii visitor GULFPORT — A Mississippi man stranded in the Hawaiian islands after being told he was on the FBI’s no-fly list has returned to San Francisco after being cleared to board an airplane.

The Sun-Herald reports that Wade E. Hicks Jr., of Gulfport, reached California late Friday on a military airplane.

Hicks, 34, was traveling to visit his wife, a U.S. Navy lieutenant stationed on Okinawa. He hitched a ride on a scheduled military flight, as military dependents are allowed to do when there’s room.

Government: Violent crimes rose 18 percent in 2011

BY PETE YOST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Violent crimes unexpectedly jumped 18 percent last year, the first rise in nearly 20 years, and property crimes rose for first time in a decade. But academic experts said the new government data fall short of signaling a reversal of the long decline in crime.

The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reported Wednesday that the increase in the number of violent crimes was the result of an upward swing in simple assaults, which rose 22 percent, from 4 million in 2010 to 5 million last year.

The incidence of rape, sexual assault and robbery remained largely unchanged, as did serious violent crime involving weapons or injury.

Property crimes were up 11 percent in 2011, from 15.4 million in 2010 to 17 million, according to the bureau's annual national crime victimization survey. Household burglaries rose 14 percent, from 3.2 million to 3.6 million. The number of thefts jumped by 10 percent, from 11.6 million to 12.8 million.

The statistics bureau said the percentage increases last year were so large primarily because the 2011 crime totals were compared to historically low levels of crime in 2010. Violent crime has

fallen by 65 percent since 1993, from 16.8 million to 5.8 million last year.

“2011 may be worse than 2010, but it was also the second-best in recent history,” said Northeastern University criminology professor James Alan Fox. “These simple assaults are so low-level in severity that they are not even included in the FBI counts of serious crime,” Fox said.

FBI crime data only counts aggravated assaults.

The growth in violent crime experienced by whites, Hispanics, younger people and men accounted for the majority of the increase.

Chris Melde, an assistant professor at Michigan State University's school of criminal justice, said: “you can have percentage changes that seem quite large but unless you put them in a longer-term perspective you can sometimes misinterpret the overall seriousness of the problem.

I would caution against forecasting future crime trends based on a oneyear fluctuation.”

A retired police chief says the growing number of assaults last year may reflect a need by law enforcement to spend more time and attention on what's happening in the nation's schools.

“My experience was that almost always, disputes started on campus

and the young people took care of them offcampus with fists,” said Jim Bueermann, president of the Police Foundation, the country's oldest, non-partisan, nonprofit police research organization. Bueermann was the police chief in Redlands, Calif., for 13 years.

Bueermann said the bureau's crime victimization reports can be a useful tool for police because “you get a different snapshot that's just as valuable” as looking at crimes which are formally reported to police.

The victimization figures are based on surveys by the Census Bureau of a large sample of Americans in order to gather data from those who are victims of crime. The results are considered the government's most comprehensive crime statistics because they count both crimes that never are reported to the police as well as those reported.

Historically, less than half of all crimes, including violent crimes, are reported to police.

Last May, the FBI's preliminary crime report for 2011, which counts only crimes reported to police, concluded that while crime dropped again last year, the declines slowed in the last half of the year.

In the FBI report, violent crime fell 6.4 percent in the first six months of last year.

Security Income, the disability program for poor people, will also receive the COLA. In all, the increase will affect about one in five U.S. residents.

Since 1975, the annual COLA has averaged 4.2 percent. Only five times has it been below 2 percent, including the two times it was zero. Before 1975, it took an act of Congress to increase Social Security payments.

“While this modest increase will help, much of the COLA will be consumed by health care and prescription costs, which continually outpace inflation,” LeaMond said.

Medicare Part B premiums, which cover doctor visits, are expected to rise by about $7 per month for 2013, according to government projections. Since the premiums are deducted from Social Security payments, that would eat up more than a third of the average COLA. The Part B premium is currently $99.90 a month for most seniors. Medicare is expected to announce the premium for 2013 in the coming weeks.

Social Security is supported by a 12.4 percent tax on wages up to $110,100. That threshold will increase to $113,700

next year, resulting in higher taxes for nearly 10 million workers and their employers, according to the Social Security Administration.

Nation Briefs Associated Press

Obama promotes positive housing market WASHINGTON — Eager to take note of signs of recovery, President Obama is drawing attention to improvements in the housing industry while keeping up pressure on Republicans to back policies the White House says would help struggling homeowners refinance their debts.

“One of the heaviest drags on our recovery is getting lighter,” Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address.

“Now we have to build on the progress we've made and keep moving forward.”

Obama cited an increased pace in construction of single-family houses and apartments in September. The Commerce Department said this week that last month's construction pace was the fastest in more than four years.

Home sales are also up compared with last year, though sales dipped in September from August's two-year high.

With the economy still the dominant issue of the presidential campaign, Obama has been counting on voters believing that

conditions are improving.

But even indicators that are favorable to Obama still don't signal a strong recovery.

Obama conceded that too many mortgage holders are still under water, owing more than their homes are worth, and blamed congressional Republicans for not passing legislation he proposed in February that would lower lending rates for millions of borrowers.

Republicans have objected, citing among other things the estimated $5 billion to $10 billion cost of the proposal.

Obama urged listeners to contact their members of Congress to push for the plan's passage.

“Let's be honest — Republicans in Congress won't act on this plan before the election,” Obama said. “But maybe they'll come to their senses afterward if you give them a push.”

In the Republican address, Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona said Obama had inherited a fragile economy, “but he's done little to improve it.”

Flake, who is running for the Senate from Arizona, accused the Obama administration of regulatory overreach, citing examples in

his own state to bar mining on certain lands, impose expensive requirements on power plants and threatening to require hotels and resorts to install lifts in pools and spas.

Social Security benefits get a 1.7 percent bump WASHINGTON — More than 56 million Americans on Social Security will get raises averaging $19 a month come January, one of the smallest hikes since automatic adjustments for inflation were adopted in 1975, the government announced Tuesday.

Much of the 1.7 percent increase in benefits could get wiped out by higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments.

At the same time, about 10 million working people who make more than $110,100 will be hit with a tax increase next year because more of their wages will be subjected to Social Security taxes.

The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, on payments is tied to a government measure of inflation released Tuesday.

It confirms that inflation has been relatively low over the past year, despite the

recent surge in gasoline prices.

Social Security recipients received a 3.6 percent increase in benefits this year after getting none the previous two years.

“The annual COLA is critically important to the financial security of the (56) million Americans receiving Social Security benefits today,” said Nancy LeaMond, AARP's executive vice president. “Amid rising costs for food, utilities and health care and continued economic uncertainty, the COLA helps millions of older Americans maintain their standard of living, keeping many out of poverty.”

Social Security payments average $1,131 a month, or $13,572 a year. A 1.7 percent increase amounts to a $19 increase each month, or about $230 a year.

Payments for retired workers are a little higher on average, about $1,237, so the typical increase will be slightly larger. Disabled workers get a little less on average, about $1,111 a month, so their typical increase will be a little smaller. Social Security also provides benefits to millions of spouses, widows, widowers and children.

About 8 million people who receive Supplemental

Big tobacco says statements go too far WASHINGTON — Tobacco companies are urging a federal judge to reject the government's proposed industry-financed corrective statements, calling them “forced public confessions.”

The Justice Department countered that the statements need to be strong enough to protect people from future false statements made by cigarette makers. The statements include admissions that the companies lied about the dangers of smoking.

U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler, who is hearing the case, has already said she wants the industry to pay for corrective statements in various types of ads. Although she has not made a decision on what the statements will say, she said at Monday's hearing that she doesn't have to take the government's proposed statements word-for-word, and will come up with “modifications.”

Nissan to add 800 jobs at Smyrna plant

BY ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co. announced Friday it will add a third shift at a vehicle assembly plant in Tennessee, adding more than 800 jobs.

Gov. Bill Haslam made the jobs announcement at an economic development conference. Haslam said it's the first time the plant will operate on three shifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nissan and Tennessee have enjoyed a long and successful partnership, and this announcement shows the strength of the company and the market demand for its products,â&#x20AC;?

Haslam said in a statement.

The staffing for the expanded work hours bring the total new Nissan jobs in the state to more than 2,000 since the middle

of last year. About 5,600 people currently work at the Smyrna plant that first began production in 1983.

The Smyrna plant makes Nissan's most popular car, the midsize Altima sedan, among other models. Production of the all-electric Leaf is set to begin at the plant in December, while assembly of the Rogue is set to come to Smyrna next year. That will mark the first time the small SUV is made in the United States.

Nissan Americas Vice Chairman Bill Krueger said the new shift will begin work on Sunday, building the Altima, Pathfinder, Maxima and Infiniti JX. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The third shift plays an important role in Nissan's plan to make cars where we sell them,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By 2015, 85 percent of Nissan vehicles sold in

the U.S. will be built here in North America.â&#x20AC;?

Vandy holds on against Auburn The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Luckily for Zac Stacy, he won’t be remembered for his last carry on a record-setting day.

Vanderbilt overcame a fourth-quarter fumble by its senior running back, who rushed for 169 yards and a goahead touchdown in a 17-13 victory over Auburn on Saturday.

Stacy had 27 carries but coughed up the ball just five plays after becoming the school’s all-time leading rusher.

The Tigers (1-6, 0-5 Southeastern Conference) took over at their 32-yard line with 2:24 left. Vanderbilt (3-4, 2-3) responded by smothering the SEC’s worst-scoring offense. Clint Moseley overshot an open Sammie Coates on fourth-and-13 with 52 seconds remaining.

“The defense had my back on that costly fumble,” Stacy said. “That can’t happen, but at the same time, as a senior captain on this team, you just have to stay positive. I had very good confidence in my defense to get a stop and get the win.”

The Commodores tied the game at 10 on Carey Spear’s 30-yard field goal at the end of the first half. They regained the lead on their first drive of the second half on Stacy’s 2-yard touchdown with 7:34 left in the third quarter.

His 27-yard sprint in the fourth quarter — his first of six straight runs — broke Frank Mordica’s previous school mark of 2,632 rushing yards from 1976-79. Stacy, who also holds the Commodores’ single-season rushing record, now has 2,670 yards.

“I didn’t go into the game thinking about the record. I came into the game trying to get a ‘W,”’ Stacy said. “I’m very honored to break the record, but that’s really just a reflection of the offensive line.”

The Tigers are off to their worst start since losing six of their first seven in 1952 in Shug Jordan’s second year as coach. Auburn is the first team to start 1-6 within two years of finishing first in The Associated Press rankings since the poll began in 1936.

For the first time since 1996, a sellout crowd of 40,350 filled Vanderbilt Stadium in consecutive games. They saw the Commodores persevere de-

STATE CHAMPIONS Lady Warriors claim first softball title

BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com

RIDGELAND -— It was a series of redemption for the Corinth Lady Warriors.

In a rematch of last season’s Class 4A Slow-Pitch Softball Championship, Corinth knocked of defending champion Newton County in a three-game series on Saturday to claim its first state title.

After splitting the first two games, Corinth racked up three runs in the opening inning and never trailed in taking the game and the series by a score of 8-1.

“From the get go we knew

we were going to win this game… they came out with a lot of fire and intensity,” said Corinth Head Coach Jana LaBarreare. “We’ve been great with our backs against the wall knowing that we’ve got to win. They proved over and over again what kind of kids they are -- they never give up, they fight.”

The Lady Warriors closed out the season with a 28-9 record. The fourth consecutive trip to the postseason also included Division 1-4A and North Half Tournament championships.

Senior Portia Patterson

put Corinth on top early in the decisive game with a tworun homer. A sacrifice fly into right field by Anna Kayte Webb brought home Bailee Kramer to make it 3-0.

The Lady Warrior defense kept Newton County scoreless until the fourth inning, where the Lady Cougars grabbed what proved to be their lone run on a double by Savannah Gates.

Following the score, defensive efforts provided two straight three-up, three-down innings and kept it a 3-1 game into the seventh The Lady Warriors found a

No. 15 Mississippi St. cruises to 45-3 win

Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Alabama may have a championship-caliber offense to go along with its best-in-the-nation defense.

A.J. McCarron threw four touchdown passes and passed for a career-high 306 yards Saturday as the top-ranked Crimson Tide trounced Tennessee 44-13 at Neyland Stadium.

Freshman receiver Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns, while freshman running back T.J. Yeldon ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.

Tyler Bray went 13-of-27 for 184 yards with two interceptions and no touchdown passes for Tennessee.

The Volunteers had scored at least 31 points in each of their first six games, but they couldn’t muster much offense against an Alabama team that entered Saturday leading the country in total defense, scoring defense, run defense and pass efficiency defense.

Tennessee (3-4, 0-4 SEC) has lost 11 of its last 12 SEC games and is 0-14 against the Top 25 since Derek Dooley took over the program in 2010.

The different circumstances facing each team were evident from a look at the stands, as more than one-third of the 102,455 fans were cheering for Alabama (7-0, 4-0). By the midway point of the fourth quarter, many of the Tennessee fans headed to the parking lot.

The Vols pulled out all the stops in their attempt to beat a top-ranked team for the first time since their 3820 triumph over Auburn on Sept. 28, 1985.

No such luck this time.

Cooper put Alabama ahead opened the scoring and put the Crimson Tide ahead to stay by getting all alone in the right corner of the end zone for a 23yard catch midway through the first quarter.

Tennessee’s beleaguered defense had forced a three-and-out on Alabama’s opening possession, but the Tide scored on four of their next five drives to take a 23-10 halftime lead.

Alabama’s lone scoreless series the rest of the first half came when Cade Foster was wide right on a 44-yard field-goal attempt.

Alabama then put the game away by reaching the end zone on its next three drives.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Tyler Russell threw for 191 yards and three touchdowns, Johnthan Banks tied a school record with his 16th career interception and No. 15 Mississippi State pulled away in the second half to beat Middle Tennessee 45-3 on Saturday night.

Mississippi State (7-0) led just 10-3 at halftime, but scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to open a comfortable lead in the non-

conference game. It was the ninth straight win for the Bulldogs, dating to last season.

LaDarius Perkins shook Mississippi State’s offense out of an extended drought midway through the third quarter, bursting through the middle of the line for a 64yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs ahead 17-3. He finished with 125 yards rushing on 20 carries.

Mississippi State’s Chris Smith caught a career-high seven passes for 66 yards and

two touchdowns.

Middle Tennessee (4-3) was led by Jordan Parker’s 66 yards rushing.

The Mississippi State victory sets up an undefeated conference showdown with No. 1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala., next weekend.

Middle Tennessee isn’t a big-name program, but it certainly had Mississippi State’s attention after crushing ACCmember Georgia Tech by three touchdowns on Sept.

But the Blue Raiders

couldn’t muster much of a challenge on Saturday.

The Bulldogs were sharp on their first drive, moving 74 yards on 14 plays, capped by Russell’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Smith for the 7-0 lead.

They pushed that advantage to 10-0 later in the first quarter on a 32-yard field goal by Devon Bell.

No. 3 Florida drubs No. 9 South Carolina The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Jeff Driskel threw four touchdown passes — three of them after turnovers — and No. 3 Florida matched its win total from last season with a 4411 drubbing of ninth-ranked South Carolina on Saturday.

The Gators avenged consecutive losses to the Gamecocks, including one two years ago that ended with Steve Spurrier and his players celebrating a division title

in The Swamp.

Florida’s latest whateverit-takes win kept coach Will Muschamp’s team undefeated and put it on the cusp of the Southeasten Conference’s Eastern Division title.

The Gators (7-0, 6-0 SEC) can clinch a spot in the SEC championship game by beating No. 13 Georgia next week in nearby Jacksonville.

Florida won this one with turnovers, stellar defense and more halftime adjustments —

the kind of successful tweaks that are making Muschamp and his staff seem like the right fit in Gainesville.

The Gators finished 7-6 last season, barely avoiding the program’s first losing season since 1979. The struggles had outsiders questioning whether Muschamp could get them back to national prominence.

He’s got them there now — even if it hasn’t always been pretty.

Florida managed just 29

yards and two first downs in the first half against South Carolina (6-2, 4-2). But the Gators led 21-6 thanks to three turnovers.

Loucheiz Purifoy knocked the ball out of Connor Shaw’s hands on the first play. Lerentee McCray recovered, giving Florida the ball at the 2-yard line. Driskel hooked up with Jordan Reed on third down, giving the Gators a lead they Please see FLORIDA | 9A

LSU’s defense holds off Manziel, Texas A&M The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Say hello to the LSU defense, Johnny Manziel.

Jeremy Hill rushed for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown, and the sixthranked Tigers controlled Texas A&M’s dual-threat quarterback to rally from an early deficit and beat the 20th-ranked Aggies 24-19 at Kyle Field on Saturday.

Michael Ford had a touchdown run and Zach Metten-

berger threw a TD pass to Kadron Boone for the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference), who scored 21 points off Texas A&M turnovers.

A&M (5-2, 2-2) outplayed the Tigers for much of the first half and led 12-0, LSU’s largest deficit since the national championship game against Alabama in January. LSU converted two A&M miscues into touchdowns just before halftime, and Boone’s diving catch in the end zone with 11

seconds left put the Tigers up 14-12 at the break.

Manziel, the SEC’s leader in total offense, completed 29 of 56 passes for 276 yards and also threw three interceptions. He was also the league’s leading rusher coming into the game and was held to 27 yards on 17 carries.

“Defense just had to get their feet set and understand what was going on,” LSU coach Les Miles said, “get the comfort of the scheme and

the habit of throw and how to chase that quarterback. He’s a gutsy, tough guy.”

The Tigers’ offense ranks eighth in the SEC and struggled to produce points in two of three previous conference games. The defense forced three turnovers and notched a safety in a 12-10 win over Auburn last month, and stepped up again with the offense sputtering on Saturday.

10-3 after a 32-yard field goal by Carlos Lopez.

Mississippi State’s struggles continued until midway through the third quarter, when Perkins burst through the line for the 64-yard score. It was the longest touchdown run of his career, and it sparked the Bulldogs to what turned into an easy victory.

Perkins is one of just two running backs in the Football Bowl Subdivision with a rushing touchdown in every game this season.

Banks picked off a pass from Logan Kilgore in the third quarter and returned it to the MTSU 25-yard line. The interception tied the school mark set by Walt Harris. Banks has four interceptions this season.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior appeared to injure his knee after the play and didn’t return, though he walked off the field without any help.

Mississippi State was playing so well at that point, there was no need for Banks. Russell hit Smith on an 11-yard touchdown and later found Robert Johnson for a 23-yard score to stretch the Bulldogs’ lead to 31-3 by the end of the third quarter.

would never relinquish.

It also was a sign of things to come for the Gamecocks, who had trouble holding onto the ball all afternoon.

Ace Sanders fumbled on a punt return, Florida recovered and drove 29 yards for a 14-3 lead.

Driskel found Quinton Dunbar for a 13-yard score. Dunbar spun out of DeVonte Holloman’s grasp before coasting across the goal line.

On the ensuing kickoff, Solomon Patton forced Damiere Byrd to fumble. Chris Johnson picked it up and nearly scored.

He was stopped at the 1, setting up Driskel’s second TD pass to Reed. Driskel faked a handoff and found Reed alone in the back of the end zone, which made it 21-3.

The Gators could have had a first-half shutout, but penalties set up two field goals for the Gamecocks.

“They’ve made life difficult on everybody they’ve played,” Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said.

A&M started strong, taking a 6-0 lead on Christine Michael’s short touchdown run. LSU hadn’t given up a first-quarter score in four games.

LSU went three-and-out on its initial series, and the defense looked a step slow again when A&M got the ball back. Manziel got plenty of protection from the Aggies’ offensive line and threaded a 21-yard pass to Mike Evans for a first down at the LSU 34. Taylor Bertolet kicked a 32yard field goal to put A&M up 9-0.

Kramer stepped up for a single and drove home pinch-runner Che Curlee for the final run.

Up by seven runs, the Lady Warriors headed into their last battle for the title and shut down Newton County over four batters.

“We knew we were going to have to go and take it, they weren’t going to give it to us which is how we want it,” LaBarreare said following the awarding of the championship trophy. “We have the utmost respect for Newton County and what they do.”

LaBarreare and the Lady Warriors will bid farewell to

“They always graduate, and I’m just proud of the opportunity I’ve had to coach them,” said LaBarreare. “They are such a good group of girls... this is how I want to end it. If it has to end this is how we want to end. You couldn’t ask for a better one.”

Corinth grabbed Game One in a 9-6 final, led by a four-run opening inning that included a double from Haley Christian that produced two runs.

Newton County remained scoreless until the third inning, putting one run up from a double by Hannah May. The Lady Cougars next runs came late in

VANDY spite three fumbles and overambitious play-calling that went awry at times.

“I do think you make progress when you don’t play your best football and you still find a way to win a game against an SEC opponent,” Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said. “Our kids need to learn how to finish and win tough games. ... It’s why we have to keep winning ugly against the top 25, against the top 5, against the top 122. We just need to win.”

The Commodores gambled on fourth down five times, converting two that led to their first score. But they also botched a fake punt and halfback pass — both involving Stacy.

Looking for something to do after the game?

Wesley Tate moved the chains on fourth-and-2, the Vanderbilt tailback took a direct snap and burst 7 yards into the end zone for a 7-0. The score capped the Commodores’ longest drive of the season — a 16-play, 75-yard march that lasted 8:25.

“We did it in the first quarter, we converted, went down and scored, everybody says great decision,” Franklin said. “We go for it later in the game, it doesn’t work out, bad decision. The coach is an idiot. I’ll live with that.

Like I’ve told you guys before, we’re going to play aggressive around here.

We’re going to take some calculated risks.”

Auburn’s offense sputtered on its first two drives with just one first down and three negative yardage plays. But Vanderbilt offered the Tigers a gift on fourth-and-9 at its own 43

early in the second quarter. Tate took a direct snap and misfired on an option pitch to Stacy, who lined up as the punter.

Auburn’s Ashton Richardson recovered the fumble at the 36. Eight plays later, Cody Parkey kicked a 27-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3.

HALLOWEEN MAKEOVERS Staff photos by Mark Boehler

Corinth Theatre-Arts makeup artist Amber Fletcher (left) outlines the teeth of the “Cheshire Cat” on the face of model Journey McCalister during a Halloween makeover event at the Crossroads Playhouse. McCalister, a 17-year-old Corinth High School senior, enjoys being involved in character makeup at CT-A and recently appeared in Footloose. McCalister was one of three models transformed into characters during the artistic makeover. Fletcher, a CT-A board member and instructor at Corinth School of Cosmetology, turned model Rebekah Petty into the “Red Queen” from Alice in Wonderland, while model Jeremy Taylor was transformed into an “Old Man.” For related story, see page 1A.

1 Union general dies, another injured in Corinth

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

The Republican convention in Chicago was one for the books. Yes, I said Chicago, not Tampa.

This is a history column and I’m talking about the convention of 1860, not the one in 2012. This was the convention that elected Abraham Lincoln as the Republican candidate on the 4th call of the roll.

So what does the Republican convention in “The Wigwam” have to do with Civil War Corinth?

If you were a politically savvy guy and you had the right connections, you could possibly wrangle an officer’s commission, especially if you were friends with the president. Two Union generals who fought in the Battle of Corinth were at that convention and both had friends in the right places.

Pleasant A. Hackleman had plenty of such friends. He was a 49 yearold native Hoosier and held several judicial positions in the Indiana State House. Though he was defeated in a bid for congress, he was chosen as a delegate to the Republican convention and cast his final vote for Abraham Lincoln. His connections secured a colonel’s commission of the 16th Indiana and he was involved in some of the early fighting in Virginia.

His performance in the field (and, of course, the political connections) secured a promotion to Brigadier General and orders to report to General Grant in Mississippi.

Then there was Richard Oglesby, who had friends at an even higher level.

“Uncle Dick” Oglesby was born in Kentucky, but he was an Illinois man from

Brigadier General Pleasnat A. Hackleman, who died during the Battle of Corinth. He was the only general from either side to die during the two-day battle. the start. He studied law and was admitted to the bar shortly before the Mexican War. He served as a junior officer in an Illinois regiment (the unit that captured General Santa Anna’s cork leg) and later went prospecting for gold in California.

He entered Illinois politics and was one of the first to join the new Republican Party. He was a friend of Lincoln’s and it was Oglesby who came up with the nickname “Honest Abe” on the convention floor. It was also “Uncle Dick” who had the idea of bringing a couple of wooden rails onto the stage and claimed they had been cut by “the railsplitter” -- another nickname courtesy of Dick Oglesby.

“Uncle Dick” took a commission as Colonel in the 8th Illinois Infantry and did well at Fort Donelson though, to his mortification, he was home on furlough during the Battle of Shiloh. Like

Hackleman, he was given a post battle promotion to brigadier general.

During the Battle of Corinth, both Dick Oglesby and Pleasant Hackleman were in command of brigades in the division of General Thomas Davies. They started the morning of October 3rd in a section of the old Confederate “Beauregard Line” of earthworks north of town. They were heavily outnumbered by the attacking Southerners and were forced to fall back to a second position near a home forever known as “The White House.”

The generals lined their men up on the south side of a large field and for the better part of an hour, 27 cannon made the ground shake. When the artillery duel ceased, the Confederates attacked and the fighting was furious. The lines moved forward and back, first one side had the advantage and then the other. Oglesby’s men had just beaten back a

Brigadier General Richard J. “Uncle Dick” Oglesby in a photo taken in Corinth after recovering from his severe wound. Doctors thought he would die, but he lived a long life in politics. particularly savage charge when a bullet entered his left armpit, passed near his heart and pierced both lungs. He was loaded into an ambulance and taken from the field.

The ambulance had not gone far when Hackleman was hit in the neck while rallying his men.

The ambulance was stopped and the two men were brought into Corinth together. They were taken to the Tishomingo Hotel, which had been pressed into service as a hospital and a more grisly sight is hard to imagine. Sgt. Sam Byers of the 5th Iowa Infantry described the scene: “In one large room of the Tishomingo House surgeons worked all the night, cutting off arms and legs...I saw the floors,

tables, and chairs covered with the amputated limbs, some white and some broken and bleeding. There were simply bushels of them, and the floor was running blood.”

That evening General Davies came to the Tishomingo to see his two brigade commanders who were lying together in the ladies’ parlor. His third brigade commander, Colonel Silas Baldwin was also in the room, hiding in the corner with a slightly wounded hand. It was clear that Hackleman was fading fast and there was nothing more the surgeons could do. Davies was with Hackleman as the general breathed one final time. Nearby, Oglesby was in excruciating pain and each labored

breath blew a froth of bubbles out of his wound.

He was not expected to live through the night.

Baldwin would soon be tossed out of the army for his cowardly conduct.

“Uncle Dick” was still clinging to life on the 8th of October when President Lincoln sent a telegram to congratulate General Grant on the victory in his district.

He took the time to add he was “very anxious to know the condition of Gen. Oglesby who is an intimate personal friend.”

The wound had been pronounced mortal and the doctors were waiting for him to pass on. But he didn’t die. The wound stopped bleeding and, as luck would have it, his family doctor was on duty in Bethel, Tennessee, and rushed to his side.

It was a long recovery, but Dick Oglesby beat the odds.

He returned to the army in the spring of 1863 wearing the twin stars of a major general. He fought well in the Vicksburg campaign, but resigned his commission in 1864 to run for Governor of Illinois. He won in a landslide and became a threeterm governor as well as a U.S. senator. He died in 1899 still carrying the bullet in his chest he had taken at Corinth.

As for Pleasant Hackleman, his body was returned to Indiana for burial, the only general officer on either side to be killed in the Battle of Corinth.

Play the wind game in choosing perfect tree Sportsmen who are serious about deer hunting have one thing in common right now. With the opening of gun season being less than a month away, all are scouring their favorite hunting places looking for the perfect spot to hang a stand.

The perfect tree, though, is like finding a good friend you can count on. They are often hard to find. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare to locate a place where there are lots of deer sign and ample bedding cover nearby that provides a definite wind advantage.

A mistake often made by hunters is choosing a stand site that reveals plenty of deer activity but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer a clear wind advantage. Hunting over lots of hot signs instills confidence; however, that confidence quickly erodes

w h e n the deer continually keeps busting you, blowing and David scamperGreen ing off the other way Outdoors with their tails waving bye-bye before you even have a chance.

Educating the deer letting them know they are being hunted is the last thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to do. A perfectly good deer travel route can be ruined in a hurry by not taking into account how wind plays in a given area, causing the deer in the entire area to move less freely on their own.

After experience hunting an area, this means you may have to deviate from

The third is one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used for many years. I place my stand on the downwind lip of a ridgetop so the deer passing below will have a difficult time picking up my scent stream since the wind will be carrying it well over the top of their heads.

You still have to work on scent control, though, because on gusty days the breeze will swirl down the slope rather than carrying your scent out over the valley.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hunted spots like that enough to know you have to get high up in the

what was first considered the perfect tree to hang a stand and choose one where there is marginal sign but gives a distinct wind advantage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better to locate and set up on a travel corridor leading to a high traffic area rather than running the risk of blowing your cover.

Three kinds of spots come to mind, and two of them are sort of obvious in giving a wind advantage. Examples of the two include setting up on the upwind side of a lake or the lip of a steep bluff.

These locations are not foolproof but as close as

There is one other thing that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overlooked in choosing the perfect stand site. The perfect stand has to permit undetected entry and exit routes before you can expect to consistently see deer.

Deer often behave like ghosts and so should you.

Hunters tend to compromise this principle, especially in trying to get to a stand that overlooks lots of awesome buck sign.

Always remember though, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better off hunting a stand with easy access overlooking a smattering of sign than one with marginal access and lots of deer sign.

Finding a perfect tree to hang a stand where there appears to be plenty of deer activity, accessibility friendly, and where the wind tends to work on your side is seldom easy.

Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error through hunting.

But when you do find that special spot, rest assured the hunting will be nothing short of fantastic for years to come.

President Theodore Roosevelt and his savvy guide Holt Collier tromped through the woods of Sharkey County in search of bears. They found one, and the rest, as they say, is history. The Great Delta Bear Affair is one of the most unique festivals in Mississippi.

Engagement

Luxembourg in spotlight with royal vows

BY DON MELVIN Associated Press

Jesse Matthew Puckett, Emily Beth Carpenter

Carpenter — Puckett Miss Emily Beth Carpenter and Mr. Jesse Matthew Puckett will exchange wedding vows at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012 at Elk Springs Resort in Gatlinburg, Tenn.

The bride-elect is the daughter of Jeffrey and Donna Huggins of Cherokee, Ala. She is the granddaughter of the late Charles and Janice Cox of Rienzi.

The prospective bridegroom is the son of Robert and Deborah Deaton and Kent Puckett of Tishomingo. He is the grandson of Walter and Jolene Puckett of Dennis and the late Joy Puckett of Tishomingo and the late B.C. and Earlene Riddle of Burton.

Miss Carpenter is a 2005 graduate of Biggersville High School.

She received her degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in 2010. She is presently employed at Tishomingo Healthcare as a nurse.

Mr. Puckett is a 1998 graduate of Belmont High School and a 2004 graduate of Mississippi State University where he received his bachelor’s degree in business administration and his master’s degree in agribusiness management in 2006.

He is presently employed at USDA Farm Service Agency in New Albany.

All friends and relatives of the couple are invited to attend the ceremony and the reception which follows.

LUXEMBOURG — The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg doesn’t get a lot of turns in the spotlight.

It’s an independent country tinier than Rhode Island, the smallest U.S. state, and it would fit inside Germany, its neighbor to the east, 138 times with room to spare. It won no medals at the 2012 London Olympics — in fact it hasn’t won a medal at the summer Games since 1952.

But this week is Luxembourg’s turn to shine. Prince Guillaume, the heir to the throne — the grand duke-to-be — will marry Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy. It will be a two-day affair, including fireworks, concerts, a gala dinner at the grand ducal palace, and two marriages between the betrothed — a civil wedding Friday afternoon and a religious ceremony Saturday morning.

A glittering array of European royalty has been invited. The guest list for the religious ceremony includes kings, queens, princes and princesses from European countries including, among others, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Lichtenstein, Denmark, the Netherlands, Romania and Britain, which is sending Prince Edward, Queen

Elizabeth’s youngest child, and his wife, Sophie.

Non-European royalty will be attending, as well, from Morocco, Japan and Jordan and elsewhere.

With all those royals coming to Luxembourg, can international attention be far behind?

“It’s good for Luxembourg,” said Nadine Chenet, a 46-yearold street cleaner who was picking up cigarette butts with pincers in front of the grand ducal palace. “Many people will come now.”

Besides, she just plain likes the royal family, she said: They give a good impression of the country.

That’s a sentiment common in Luxembourg. To all appearances, the bride and groom are a lovely couple. He is 30, with dark hair and an immaculate beard. She is 28, blonde and smiling. In public appearances, including at the London Olympics, they have appeared besotted with each other.

According to biographies distributed by the royal court, each has an array of interests befitting those who are to the manner born.

Guillaume speaks four languages, has studied international politics, is a lieutenant

colonel in the Luxembourg army (a force of 900 soldiers), and has been engaged in humanitarian work in other countries, including Nepal. The duchess-to-be has studied the influence of German romanticism on Russian romanticism, plays piano and violin, swims, skis, and says she reads three books at a time.

In the language department, she already speaks French and German — two of Luxembourg’s three official languages — and, perhaps more importantly, is studying the third, which is called Luxembourgish. She plans to renounce her Belgian citizenship in order to become, eventually, Luxembourg’s grand duchess.

Luxembourg is a linguistically complicated country, a reflection of its complicated past. It began as a Roman fortress. It has, at one time or another, fallen under the control of Spain, France and Austria. In 1839, it gained its independence from the Netherlands, but lost more than half its territory to Belgium, which now has a province of the same name. In the 20th century, Germany swept through Luxembourg twice despite its protestations of neutrality.

Luxembourgish is related to German, but it is primarily a

spoken language. In the country’s schools, elementary students take all their classes in German. When students reach their teens, gradually all classes are converted to French. And English is studied the entire time.

But the language dearest to their hearts is Luxembourgish.

As 71-year-old retired engineer Rene Ries — a typical Luxembourger, with a French first name and a German last name — said, Luxembourgish is generally spoken in the home.

Above all, citizens are proud.

Proud of their multilingualism.

Proud of their grand duchy. And proud of their royal family. The current grand duke, Henri, who is 57, is popular. People can greet him on the street without bowing down before him. His 31year marriage to Grand Duchess Maria Teresa appears to be very happy. Showcasing the royal family, as the country will do this week, allows Luxembourg to put its best foot forward.

For, as Ries emphasized more than once, the Luxembourgish royals — in contrast to some others — do not sunbathe topless.

And for him, that is a source of pride, one he is happy to share with the rest of the world.

“It is a good family,” he said.

College grad living at home wants more control of life DEAR ABBY: I am 24 and graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. I am currently living with my parents. They are a bit controlling and hate resistance from me. I grew up doing everything they told me with no personal opinions of my own, until I met my fiance a year ago. He has helped me gain the strength to speak up and let my thoughts be known.

We’re trying to save enough money to live together. Mom has made it clear that she doesn’t like that idea because we’re not married yet. She and Dad are also unhappy that I no longer want to work in the field my degree is in. (I worked for a sheriff’s office for a couple of months and was treated horribly, then I was fired.)

I have told my parents repeatedly that this is my life, but it seems Abigail to do no Van Buren good. Do you have Dear Abby any suggestions on what I should say to them about these issues?

-- GROWN-UP GIRL IN ALABAMA DEAR GROWN-UP GIRL: You appear to be a bright young woman who was raised to be submissive and compliant. That may be the reason working at the sheriff’s office didn’t work out for you.

Rather than turn your back on the profession you trained for, you need to learn to be more assertive. That way you won’t be dependent on anyone

else for the strength to voice your opinions, or live your life according to the standards you set for yourself.

P.S. Return to the college from which you graduated and talk to a counselor there about the various career options in your field for someone with your degree. Surely there are more opportunities than working at that sheriff’s office.

DEAR ABBY: My stepdaughter, “Sharon,” has invited us for Thanksgiving weekend and insists that we be her houseguests. As sweet as she is, she and her family live in a borderline “hoarder” home.

The last time we visited our hometown, we stopped by to see them.

After a struggle to get the front door open, Sharon’s first words were, “We

know it’s a mess. We don’t clean or cook.” When we returned to our car, my husband said he had never seen a house that filthy.

But he insists we accept their invitation and not hurt their feelings.

I’d rather get a motel room and take them out to dinner. I have strongly voiced my concerns for our safety and health to my husband. How can I address the subject of needing clean sheets and being able to cook a meal, and getting to the (dirty) bathroom during the night? I’m already having anxiety issues. -- HAVING NIGHTMARES IN TENNESSEE DEAR HAVING NIGHTMARES: I sympathize with your husband’s desire not to cause hurt feelings, but the invitation under these circumstances is not practical.

Sharon should be told that you are a very private person and you would not feel comfortable getting up in the middle of the night and flushing a toilet; therefore you would be more at ease in a motel.

If her kitchen and eating areas are “filthy,” you should not eat in her house, either. Your husband should cheerfully assert his role as the patriarch and insist on taking the family out for Thanksgiving dinner.

How can she argue? After all, “Father knows best!”

Today in history Today is Sunday, Oct. 21, the 295th day of 2012. There are 71 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On Oct. 21, 1962, the Seattle World’s Fair closed after six months and nearly 10 million visitors. (President John F. Kennedy, scheduled to attend the closing ceremony, canceled because of what was described as a “head cold”; the actual reason turned out to be the Cuban Missile Crisis.)

On this date In 1797, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides,” was christened in Boston’s harbor.

In 1805, a British fleet commanded by Adm. Horatio Nelson defeated a French-Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar; Nelson, however, was killed.

In 1879, Thomas Edison perfected a workable electric light at his laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J. In 1912, classical music conductor Sir Georg Solti was born Gyorgy Stern in Budapest.

In 1917, members of the 1st Division of the U.S. Army training in Luneville, France, became the first Americans to see action on the front

lines of World War I. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. troops captured the German city of Aachen.

In 1959, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened to the public in New York.

In 1960, Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon clashed in their fourth and final presidential debate in New York.

In 1967, the Israeli destroyer INS Eilat was sunk by Egyptian missile boats near Port Said; 47 Israeli crew members were lost.

In 1971, President Richard Nixon nominated Lewis F. Powell and William H. Rehnquist to the U.S. Supreme Court.

(Both nominees were confirmed.)

Ten years ago President George W. Bush said he would try diplomacy “one more time,” but did not think Saddam Hussein would disarm — even if doing so would allow the Iraqi president to remain in power.

Brooks heads for Country Hall of Fame, looks ahead

BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Garth Brooks will spend Sunday looking back when he’s inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, touching on some of the greatest moments of the most electric career in country history.

“It’s so exciting,” Brooks said. “I’m trying to be somewhat professional or somewhat have manners or something, but I’m probably going to be Garth and fall apart.”

Unlike most honorees, whose best performances are usually behind them at this point, there’s a chance the semi-retired superstar could continue a career that helped country music evolve from a regional sound to an international phenomenon.

At 50, Brooks has been mulling a return, occasionally hinting at what’s to come. He went into retirement about a decade ago so he could be around the house while his three daughters grew up, and he’s mostly stuck to that plan — though he did agree to a three-year stint in Las Vegas that recently ended and he’s played charity concerts, including a nine-gig run following the Nashville flood in 2010.

Two of his daughters have graduated high school and moved on to college and Brooks said in an interview before the recent Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame induction that he and his wife Trisha Yearwood have been kicking around ideas about what the

second act of his career might entail.

“We’re just going to start,” Brooks said. “It will be fun. We’ve got our youngest baby (Allie), this is her junior year, and she’s really in touch. Now, down from three to one (at home), you spend a lot more time with that one.

She’s in on every plan. She knows all the decisions.

She’s really well-educated in what’s going on.”

“I think she’s ready for us to go on the road because she’ll be home by herself,” Yearwood joked.

“She’s doing every afterschool activity you can do.

‘You don’t just want to sit and stare at us?’ It’s really fun.”

Fun might be the perfect word to describe Brooks’ one-of-a-kind career. The Oklahoma native, who will

be inducted with Connie Smith and Hargus “Pig” Robbins, got his start playing for tips in bars near the Oklahoma State campus and went on to become the third highest-selling act in U.S. history. He has sold more than 128 million albums — more than anyone except The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Brooks could start adding to that tally by making a simple announcement to Music Row: Send me your songs.

“You talk about songwriters, the great ones can birth a career, but the greatest ones can bring life back into one,” Brooks said. “So we’ll be looking hard for songs just to see what the future might hold for us.”

One of the songwriters who’d like to make a contribution if the singer

returns is Kim Williams, who has written four No. 1 hits with Brooks.

“I think it will be incredible,” Williams said.

“I don’t know if the (album) sales will ever be what they were because of downloading and all those things have changed. But one thing I can guarantee you is people will flock to see him. I think he proved it when he came down and did the flood shows.

He sold out nine shows.”

Scott Borchetta, who as head of Big Machine Label Group put out Brooks’ last platinum-selling greatest hits package, said there remains a hunger to see Brooks on stage. “I can tell you I don’t think Garth Brooks is done by any stretch of the imagination,” Borchetta said.

“There’s a huge fan base

out there. There’s a huge desire. The man lives to perform.”

George Strait said in an email interview that Brooks “transcends country music.” His gifts were apparent immediately when he arrived in Nashville, and they retain their gravity even in his retirement.

“He opened a show for me somewhere, and I remember someone telling me he was sitting on the stage hanging his feet over singing to the crowd,” Strait recalled. “I thought to myself, ‘I’m not sure this is going to work out for the boy.’ Hah, what do I know? It’s been amazing to watch how he exploded into the biggest-selling artist of the time and then laid it all down to raise his kids.”

‘Night of Too Many Stars’ benefit shines on one who’s not

BY JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — Moments of absurdity are to be expected at the biennial “Night of Too Many Stars” benefit on Comedy Central. Things like Seth Rogen auctioning off a trip to the urinal with him; a knock-down, dragout fight between Kevin Bacon in a butter costume and Liev Schreiber dressed as broccoli; a performance of “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen and Harvey Keitel.

All of those are memorable highlights of the fourth “Night of Too Many Stars,” which uses comedy to raise money for autism education programs. But at the event, which was taped last Saturday at the Beacon Theatre in New York and will

air tonight at 7 on Comedy Central, something remarkable and unusually tender happened along with Stephen Colbert being mauled by a bear.

A young autistic girl accomplished a feat beyond that of most, autistic or not: She sang a duet of “Firework” with Katy Perry that brought the house down and moved host Jon Stewart (and many others) to tears. As the standing ovation roared for young Jodi DiPiazza, she stood up from behind the piano and wrapped her arms around Perry, nestling herself against the pop star.

“It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever been associated with,” said the comedian Robert Smigel, who organizes and produces “Night of Too Many

Stars.” “I’ve made a career of all this nonsense — and I’m very proud of it — but it all pales in comparison to what happened Saturday.”

Perhaps more than any other installment, this year’s “Night of Too Many Stars” strikes an uncommon balance between heart-rending emotion and knee-slapping slapstick. It’s certainly the only show that can get away with filming Seth Rogen peeing, and say it’s for a good cause.

Smigel is best known as the comic genius behind the Borscht Belt-inspired hand puppet, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. He’s a New York comic veteran whose career has covered “Saturday Night Live,” where as a writer he made the TV Funhouse car-

Horoscopes Sunday, October 21, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

In the same way that two chemicals can mix together to form a substance with its very own identifying attributes, partnerships have an identity separate from that of the individuals involved. This, the last full day of the Libra sun in 2012, is an excellent moment to take stock of what relationships have taught us in the past four weeks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Right now you will learn best from your peers. So look for someone who possesses the skill you want to master, knows it well and is in other ways very much like you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t always choose the people you surround yourself with, but if you could, they would be the same people who are around you today. Taking in so much love is good for your health.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Too much thinking, and you’ll lose a game. Instead of trying to figure out why you know something, just act on what you know. You can trust that there are unseen forces of good guiding you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be happily exposed to the different things that interest you. Also, you’ll discover a simple way to accomplish what you thought would be hard work. You just need to ask the right question of the right person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Events will reinforce recent life lessons, giving you the feeling that you are truly on track with your evolution. The best part is that you love who you are on

the way to who you’re becoming.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you feel uncharacteristically flighty, go with the new mood. It’s really acceptable to let your attention float to what is intangible and of seemingly little use. Such reflections are the essence of creativity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because it’s the last day of the sun in your sign for this year, you’ll feel inspired to take your chances. You’ll get the sense that it may be a while before opportunities such as these come around again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The sun headed toward your part of the zodiac will redefine your relationship with time and space. You’ll be reminded of your vital need for inner quiet and the time to ponder life’s mysteries.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The day brings many gifts, and you’ll be in the mood to unwrap them. The effort it takes to get to the heart of a matter is well worth it. Don’t be too careful. Dig in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The truth is that you enjoy taking care of others. Of course, it’s always a little easier when you know your efforts in this regard are appreciated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll learn by making things. The hands-on experience is unbeatable.

Your stellar attitude is part of the reason why everything you touch turns to gold today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is nothing to be gained from overscheduling yourself. By trying to maximize the quantity of today’s interactions you will only minimize the quality. Less is more.

Cryptoquip

toons; “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” where he was head writer in a room that included Louis C.K.; and numerous projects with Adam Sandler.

Smigel and his wife, Michelle, also have a 14-year-old son, Daniel, who’s autistic. It was their trouble getting him placed in one of the too few quality schools for autistic children that led Smigel to begin the “Night of Too Many Stars” fundraisers, which prior to this year brought in more than $14 million.

“They deserve to be nurtured,” says Smigel of children with autism.

“They deserve to be educated. They deserve to be encouraged and not written off and not ostracized.”

The show couldn’t be

more personal to Smigel, who founded the event by calling on his comedian friends to ask the favor of their participation. Stewart, with whom Smigel hadn’t been close, has been a mainstay of “Night of Too Many Stars.” Stewart’s generosity, Smigel says, has “overwhelmed” him and Michelle.

But as the years have gone on, putting it together has grown more difficult.

“It started with me just asking my friends and of course they all said yes,” Smigel says. “But it’s hard to keep going back to the same people. And I don’t know everybody in show business, as old and experienced as I am.”

This year’s show features many familiar comic faces, like Tina Fey

and Amy Poehler (who auction off the chance to be their best friend for the night), J.B. Smoove (who makes a DVD commentary watching HBO’s “Game of Thrones” with Tracy Morgan) and Ben Stiller (who, as his fashion model character Derek Zoolander, dresses down Tommy Hilfiger). On his show “Conan,” O’Brien is also chipping in by trying to raise $100,000 from his viewers. If he succeeds, O’Brien has pledged to do an episode in a deep spray tan.

But there are also more musicians this year, including Sting, Jepsen and Perry. After the show, Perry tweeted that she would never forget the evening, that “it was the most important moment thus far of what I do.”
