Courts hear guilty pleas cident that resulted in death.

Robert Shane Parker entered the plea before Judge Thomas J. Gardner III during the November term of Alcorn County

Circuit Court, according to court records. His sentencing will occur at a later date.

On the morning of April 7, 2011, Parker was driving a Jeep Cherokee on County Road 180 when the vehicle struck John D. Calvery, 85, who was near the roadside picking up trash.

Calvery was pronounced dead a short time later.

The Jeep overturned and

came to a rest in a field off the road.

Parker was also originally indicted for culpable negligence manslaughter.

The indictment noted prior convictions for burglary and larceny of a dwelling in 1997, uttering a forged prescription in 2005 and conspiracy to sell

vin S. Brown in the upcoming March-April term of Alcorn County Circuit Court on a charge of sexual battery.

Brown’s first trial came to an end quickly on Nov. 5 as the result of statements made by the first state witness, who made

reference to a second victim in violation of the court’s prior ruling, according to the order declaring a mistrial.

Brown was released on his present bond.

In December 2010, a grand jury returned two separate

indictments against Brown for alleged sexual battery that occurred between 2001 and 2005. He is being tried on one of those indictments and has previously entered a plea of

Record number seek Toy Store assistance

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A record need is going to require a record response from the community to make Christmas wishes come true from children in need in Alcorn County.

More than 600 families have registered for assistance this year from the Lighthouse Foundation’s annual Toy Store Christmas toy drive. Foundation Executive Director Gary Caveness said that number represents more than 2,000 children who will receive Christmas gifts through the annual effort this year.

The number is a significant jump from last year and a record for the annual program.

Last year the program operated on a budget of around $100,000 and it will take even more this year to pay for the effort.

KCB planting trees along Main Street

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful is focusing its efforts on downtown Corinth.

The group’s board of directors is currently undertaking a beautification project that will add some life — in the form of trees — to Main Street.

“The seven islands down Main Street used to be beautifully adorned with gorgeous trees that over the years died or were removed for various reasons. A few of the older trees still remain,” explained Andrea Rose, community development director for the Alliance.

During the remainder of this year and throughout the next, Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful will work with a local landscaping company to bring the trees back to Main Street.

Gerald Sellers and his crew at Archer Landscape are working to install the trees in two phases. They began planting the first of the trees this week and will finish in the spring.

American Legion begins weekly prayer breakfast

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The American Legion is taking the lead.

In a continued effort to promote wholesome programs in the community, American Legion Post 6 will begin hosting a mid-week prayer breakfast. “There is certainly a need for it in our community,� said Post 6 Commander Mark Houston.

“We have been thinking about this for a while and decided to go ahead and kick it off.�

The initial prayer breakfast is set for Wednesday at 7 a.m. and will consist of sausage, biscuits and coffee. The event will be held at the legion building on Tate Street “It’s just a simple breakfast at no charge,� added Houston. “The breakfast is open to the

public ‌ people do not have to be a member of the American Legion to attend.�

Local pastor Bro. Warren Jones of Crossroads Baptist Church will give the devotional.

A different speaker is scheduled to give a devotional each week. “This is one way we can get out and let people know what

we are doing,� added the commander. “We will see how it works for a few weeks and if people are coming, we will continue it.�

Congress chartered and incorporated the American Legion in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness.

The organization belongs to the people it serves and the

TRIAL

communities in which it thrives.

American Legion Baseball is one of the many programs sponsored by the organization.

The local post also sponsors an oratorical contest for high school students among its numerous programs for young people.

Brown was arrested by law enforcement in Vicksburg at his place of employment on Jan. 19, 2011, and transported to Corinth. He was 34 at the time of arrest.

At the time, the Corinth Police Department said the alleged crimes happened in Corinth with two children, both less than 10 years old. The mother was told of the alleged activity by one of the children after the family

learned that Brown was possibly moving back to north Mississippi.

The two victims testified before the grand jury.

Brown is represented

by Tom Fortiner.

Circuit court completed the November term

with guilty pleas from more than 30 individuals in criminal cases. The next term is scheduled to begin March 25, and subsequent terms will begin on July 22 and Nov. 4. Grand jury dates for 2013 are Feb. 25, May 28, Aug. 19 and Dec. 2.

Several residents of the area have pledged to adopt one of the tree islands to help ensure it continues to look its best long after the trees are planted. “They will keep an eye out for litter, check mulch and let us know if there are any issues,�

Rose said. “The City of Corinth has done a fine job at keeping the islands mowed, and we know they will keep them looking wonderful.�

The project was spearheaded by City Judge Johnny Ross, the current chairman for Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful. Ross took it upon himself to per-

sonally plant and maintain one of the islands.

He was the driving force behind the organization moving ahead to restore the tree-lined area of the community.

The project is funded in part by beautification grants from Keep America Beautiful.

Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful focuses on improving Corinth and Alcorn County through beautification, litter prevention and waste reduction. It is a division of the Alliance governed by a board of volunteers representing local businesses and government.

Corinth plywood mill fined Associated Press

Timber Products Co. in Corinth has paid a $47,000 civil fine for failing to conduct required environmental tests.

The company, based in Springfield, Ore., agreed in October to pay the fine to the Mississippi

Department of Environmental Quality.

An order published by the department says the company failed to test for emissions from a saw and a sander for at least four years after being issued air pollution permits in 2007.

The 50-employee mill

also failed to maintain records of equipment inspections and stormwater inspections and was late in applying to renew its permit.

Of the fine, $3,000 will go back to the company so it can develop an environmental management system.

A silent auction of beautifully decorated Christmas trees, holiday wreaths and holiday decor donated by local businesses will also take place.

“All proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Magnolia Foundation,” said Moore.

The Magnolia Foundation is planning a gift raffle along with selling T-shirts at the event.

Shirts will be available in

children sizes along with adults with all proceeds earned going to the hospital’s foundation.

Moore said all children must be accompanied by an adult with workers at “Winter Wonderland” all volunteering their time.

Those who attend are asked to enter through the front entrance of the arena.

“Events like Winter Wonderland provide the Magnolia Foundation an avenue to reveal its vision of stewardship, giving, benevolence and leadership while taking a role in wishing our friends and neighbors a happy holiday season,” said Moore.

The Magnolia Foundation was formed in May of 1980. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization and all donations are tax deductible.

The Foundation mission is to improve the health and well being of people in the community.

Our View

Red kettles, ringing bells provide reminder of the spirit of giving A Crossroads area holiday tradition began last week in front of many Corinth store fronts.

We speak of the familiar sight of red kettles and the traditional sound of bells ringing as a call to help those in need.

The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign kicked off outside various stores with the bellringers set to be present at the sites through Christmas Eve. “The campaign is an important way that helps us fund our social service programs,” Alcorn County Salvation Army Director Michelle Miles recently told the newspaper. “This is the only time of the year we get to do the red kettle.”

Bellringers will be located in front of Kroger, Walgreens, Belk, J.C. Penney, Walmart, Roger’s, Gardner’s and K-Mart.

“I encourage everyone to try it at least once,” said the director. “You will hear some amazing stories that warm your heart.”

The traditional red kettle is an integral part of the Christmas scene, with millions of dollars donated each year to aid needy families, seniors, and the homeless, in keeping with the spirit of the season.

In 1891, Salvation Army Capt.

Joseph McFee was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry. He came up with the idea of a large iron pot so people could toss coins in as the way to fund the mission.

Capt. McFee’s kettle idea launched a tradition that has spread not only throughout the United States, but all across the world. Kettles are now used in such distant lands as South Korea, Japan, Chile and many European countries.

Today in the United States, the Salvation Army assists more than 4.5 million people during the Thanksgiving and Christmas time periods.

Last Christmas season, Americans donated a record $147.6 million to the iconic red kettles, allowing the Salvation Army to serve millions of Americans in need with food, clothing, toys, shelter and other assistance.

The Salvation Army has a major local presence helping local families and a storefront on U.S. 72 in Corinth which serves as both a distribution center and donation drop off point.

Please drop some change in those red iron kettles as you pass and give some coins to your young kids and grandchildren so they can do the same.

Teaching the act of giving to others is the most important lesson adults should be demonstrating this holiday season.

Daily Corinthian (Any church group, individual or business who would like to volunteer for the Red Kettle Campaign or other projects by the Salvation Army can do so by calling Michelle Miles at 662-287-6979.)

Prayer for today Beloved God, when life is going as we plan and when it is not, help us to yield ourselves to what you want to do in us and through us.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lockstep, robotic state Republican Party is misnomer STARKVILLE — The Politico Web site in recent days trumpeted what they call a Mississippi Republican political “feud” over the question of health care exchanges. The truth is slightly less dramatic — and the notion that Mississippi’s GOP is a robotic, lockstep organization simply ignores reality.

According to the site: “In red-state capitols in places like Idaho, Tennessee and Mississippi, Republicans are clashing over whether to participate in a Democratic president’s signature legislative achievement.

“At issue are the statebased health care exchanges, set to start in 2014, which will create new marketplaces for people who can’t get insurance elsewhere. If states don’t declare their plans to set one up by Dec. 14, the Department of Health and Human Services will begin doing it for them. So Republicans face a choice: Create their own and appear to endorse a federal government health care takeover, or allow Washington to take control.

“Nowhere is the fight playing out more publicly

among Republicans than in Mississippi.”

F a c i n g a Nov. 16 deadline for Sid Salter states to tell the federal Columnist government whether they will create a health insurance exchange, Chaney chose what he considered the lesser of policy evils.

The same Supreme Court ruling that initially gave Republican leaders some wiggle room on Medicaid expansion leaves far less such on the health exchanges under the Affordable Care Act. Under the ruling, states are left with three choices: First, the states can operate their own insurance marketplace using federal funds to acquire and implement the technology to allow insurance customers to compare and buy their own insurance.

Second, the states can leave that responsibility and the control of the process to the federal government.

Third, states can create a federal-state “partnership”

to set up a health exchange.

Despite criticism of the policy decision from Gov. Phil Bryant and other fellow Republicans, Chaney chose to lay the groundwork for Mississippi to operate its own health insurance exchange under state control.

Bryant has consistently held opposition to the exchanges, as he has the overall ACA. Chaney, while also a longtime opponent of the ACA, thought the state-operated health exchanges gave Mississippi the most flexibility and control.

Do Bryant and Chaney disagree over the policy?

Sure, but does that disagreement reach the level of a political “feud?” Makes for a nice headline, but the fact is that back in the days when the Democratic Party dominated Mississippi politics, there was no great outcry when Democrats regularly disagreed among themselves over public policy.

It was accepted, expected and given little notice with the possible exception of the issue of segregation.

Anyone remember “Freedom Democrats” and “Reg-

ular Democrats?”

Now, magically, are we to accept the suggestion that Republicans in Mississippi are always of like mind on questions of complex public policy? The fact is that Mississippi Republicans have long had significant factions and will likely continue to do so.

Bryant aligned himself with fellow Republican governors who fear future changes in the ACA — and the policy stance has not wavered. Chaney is looking at his own immediate regulatory and service responsibilities. Those strategies are difficult to reconcile to a cookie-cutter, one-size-fitsall policy and hence, they disagree.

As it was with state Democrats, the existence of factions and divergent thought and even a few healthy disagreements among Mississippi Republicans is the sign of a maturing, growing political party — not a “feud.”

Don’t be depressed — game still on

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Cut it out! Pick your chin up! We lost a battle, not the war!

Here’s how to look at it: We are right and President Obama is wrong. The issues at play here are not subjective with fuzzy answers, each a little right and a little wrong. They are objective.

Either Obama’s approach to the economy is correct or not.

If Obama is right — which he’s not — his policies will solve the economic problems we face. And if he is wrong, they won’t. They’ll get worse. And then worse again.

By 2013 and 2014, the truth will become increasingly apparent. Unemployment will worsen, driven by Obama’s brilliant idea of taxing job creators more heavily. Economic growth will have halted and a contraction (recession) set in. The consequences of Obama’s policies will be too evident for even the most hardened Democrat to ignore.

It is true that the elections of both 2008 and 2012 stemmed, ultimately, from a national demographic change. But the fact that someone is black, Latino, a single woman, or young doesn’t mean they lose their powers of perception and reasoning! Obama will school an entirely new group of voters -- and a new demographic -- in the shortcomings of leftist economic policies. They will see, in their own lives, the disastrous consequences of his ideas.

Why don’t they get it now? Haven’t they suffered enough already? Apparently not.

Some do. Obama’s vote share dropped by 2.5 points from 2008 to 2012. Most notable was among the young where he fell from 66 percent of the vote in 2008 to 60 percent in 2012. The process will continue. More and more disillusioned voters will leave Obama’s ranks. His name will become a modern equivalent to what Herbert Hoover meant in the thirties.

That the Republican Party will rise again is inevitable -- if Obama’s policies are wrong.

What is our task between now and then? To stop this administration from doing permanent damage while they are in power. They will continue to accumulate debt, pile on spending, and raise taxes. But what went up can come down once we get power.

But some things cannot be reversed: ■ We must stop any cessation of American sovereignty to the U.N. (read “Here Come the Black Helicopters.”) Once we give up our sovereignty, we’ll never get it back.

■ We need to block the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Labor Relations Board from forcing our manufacturing jobs offshore by changing the game for domestic business. Once they are gone, they won’t return.

■ We’ve got to enact immigration reform to end the GOP’s war with the Hispan-

ics. At the same time, we must make it clear that we are conferring legal status only for work, not for citizenship or voting. For that, they need to go to the back of the line.

■ Stop Obama from enacting euthanasia-like health care changes. Block the implementation of any cuts his 15 member board will propose that would shorten lives or condemn those to an early death who could be saved.

These are the fundamental elements of what we must do. But, above all, we need to end our collective depression. Depression is not an option for our brave troops in harm’s way and it shouldn’t be for us sitting comfortably at home.

Get back in the game!

State Winter: Too little momentum to help education

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Democrats who pushed Mississippi’s Education Reform Act into law 30 years ago said Friday that current leaders are offering only small-scale ideas, not ambitious plans that could strengthen the entire public school system.

In December 1982, then-Gov. William Winter called a special session and persuaded lawmakers to pass the law, which

made several changes, including compulsory attendance, addition of teachers’ aides and creation of kindergarten in all public schools.

The special session came after months of public meetings that generated support for Winter’s ideas, combined with in-depth coverage by The ClarionLedger, which frequently published a front-page “Hall of Shame” listing legislators who opposed the act. Critics said Winter’s education proposals

were too expensive.

During a forum Friday at Millsaps College to discuss the 30th anniversary of the act, Winter said improving schools takes constant effort and that other states aren’t standing still.

“I do think we’ve lost our momentum,” Winter said. “I do think we have lost that political will, at least as spoken by the politicians. We’ve lost that political will to do the hard things that must be done. They can’t be done

The Hottest Looks for The Season!!

without more investment in public education.”

Gov. Gov. Phil Bryant and other Republicans are pushing charter schools, which are public schools free of some regulations.

Bryant also is proposing tax credits to create about 2,200 scholarships for children to attend private schools, although it’s not clear whether he’ll have widespread support even within his own party.

One of Winter’s former staffers, Dick Molpus, said current state leaders are

presenting “piecemeal” education proposals.

“We’re seeing artificial solutions being presented,” Molpus said. “We’ve got to take giant steps in Mississippi to catch up. Instead, what we’re seeing debated are baby steps, little timid steps.”

He said that even if charter schools and private-school scholarships are created, only a minuscule percentage of student would be affected.

“The charter school legislation’s going to suck all

the oxygen out of that legislative session,” Molpus said. “If 10 schools get established at 500 apiece, that’s 5,000 students.

That’s less than 1 percent of the students in Mississippi.”

Some lawmakers propose creating a governing body for charter schools that would be separate from the state Board of Education.

“I’m 100 percent opposed to that,” said former Winter aide Andy Mullins.

Pressure still mounts over pipeline decision

BY JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Embarking on a second term, President Barack Obama faces mounting pressure on a decision he had put off during his re-election campaign: whether to approve the $7 billion proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline between the U.S. and Canada.

On its surface, it’s a choice between the promise of jobs and economic growth and environmental concerns. But it’s also become a proxy for a much broader fight over American energy consumption and climate change, amplified by Superstorm Sandy and the conclusion of an election that was all about the economy.

Environmental activists and oil producers alike are looking to Obama’s decision as a harbinger of what he’ll do on climate and energy in the next four years. Both sides are holding out hope that, freed from the political constraints of re-election, the president will side with them on this and countless related issues down the road.

“The broader climate movement is absolutely looking at this administration’s Keystone XL decision as a really significant decision to signal

that dirty fuels are not acceptable in the U.S.,” said Danielle Droitsch, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Once content with delays that have so far kept the pipeline from moving forward at full speed, opponents of Keystone XL have launched protests in recent weeks at the White House and in Texas urging Obama to nix the project outright. Meanwhile, support for the pipeline appears to be picking up steam on Capitol Hill.

But Obama has shown little urgency about the pipeline, which would carry crude oil about 1,700 miles from western Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. The pipeline requires State Department approval because it crosses an international boundary.

The pipeline became an issue in the campaign, and Obama put it on hold while a plan was worked out to avoid routing it through Nebraska’s environmentally sensitive Sandhills region. TransCanada, the company applying to build it, revised the route, but that caused the lengthy environmental review process to start over. In the meantime, the company split the project into two parts, starting

construction in August on a southern segment between Oklahoma and Texas even as it waits for approval for the northern segment that crosses the Canadian border.

Although the lower leg didn’t require Obama’s sign-off, he gave it his blessing in March anyway, irking environmental activists who see the pipeline as a slap to efforts to reduce oil consumption and fend off climate change.

“At a time when we are desperately trying to bend the emissions curve downwards, it is wrong to open up a new source of energy that is more carbon intensive and makes the problem worse,” wrote former Vice President Al Gore, now a climate activist, in an email.

Still, in an otherwise highly polarized political climate, access to affordable energy has become a rare issue with bipartisan appeal.

“It’s just a no-brainer,” Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., told The Associated Press. “Canada is going to export this oil. It’s either going to come to the U.S. or it’s going to go to Russia or China. Even Democrats that aren’t really excited about oil and gas development generally can figure that out.”

New Powerball jackpot millionaires want to live normally

BY MARIA SUDEKUM Associated Press

DEARBORN, Mo. — To announce one of the biggest events of their lives together, Cindy and Mark Hill returned to the place where it all began — the high school where they became sweethearts in the 1970s.

Surrounded by family and friends, the two were introduced Friday as winners in this week’s huge Powerball lottery — an extraordinary stroke of luck that gives them half of the $588 million jackpot.

The nostalgic high school homecoming seemed to reflect the couple’s hopes of staying true to their roots and living simply, at least as simply as possible for winners of one of the biggest lottery

prizes in history.

“We will still be going down to the corner cafe for breakfast or fish day. I can guarantee you,” Cindy Hill said. “You know it’s just us. We’re just normal human beings. We’re as common as anybody. We just have a little bit more money.”

The Hills, who have three grown sons and a 6-year-old daughter, said they don’t play the lottery regularly. They spent $10 on five tickets with random numbers. The result: After taxes, they will take home a lump sum of $136.5 million.

“We’re still stunned by what’s happened,” said Hill, a former office manager who was laid off in 2010. “It’s surreal.”

The other winning tick-

et was sold in Fountain Hills, Ariz., near Phoenix.

No one has come forward with it yet, lottery officials said.

Joining the Hills at the news conference were their children, with the youngest, Jaiden, sitting on her father’s lap clutching a black stuffed horse.

She was adopted from China five years ago.

When asked what she wanted for Christmas, the little girl said simply: “Pony.”

Friday’s news conference made official what just about everyone in the town of 500 north of Kansas City already knew, thanks in part to a Facebook posting by Mark Hill, said their son Cody.

At first, the elder Hill told his son about the

winning ticket but instructed him not to share the news with anyone.

Cody Hill said he went to work and heard people commenting about how one of the winning tickets came from a local store.

He said nothing. But then a relative told him to look at his dad’s Facebook page, where his father had announced the family’s good fortune.

Cindy Hill, sounding cautious and a little concerned about the windfall, said they have no immediate plans to move out of their single-story ranch house on a quiet cul-desac.

But they will have more free time. Mark Hill quit his job as a mechanic Thursday. His wife, who missed a scheduled job

interview on the same day, has no plans to keep looking for work. Instead, she plans to focus on their daughter.

“Right now, she’s our most important thing,” Cindy Hill said. “And we want her to have normal things. It’s Christmastime, and we want to be home. ... We want everything normal.”

Mark Hill said the adjustment in the family income hadn’t quite sunk in yet. He had to buy some small things Thursday when the family was in Jefferson City waiting for the Missouri Lottery to validate their ticket.

“We had to get like toothpaste and stuff like that, and I found myself at the store still looking at the price of stuff,” he said.

Some of the money will go toward travel, perhaps back to China for another

adoption or “wherever the wind takes us,” Cindy Hill said. They also will help relatives, including establishing college funds for their grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

Mark Hill has his eye on a red Camaro.

“When it’s that big of a Powerball, you’re going to get people coming out of the woodwork, some of them might not be too sane,” Cindy Hill said.

“We have to protect our family and grandkids.”

She said the family will also be contributing to charities, including a scholarship fund in the local school district in her father-in-law’s name. And they hope to continue advocating for adoption, which is “very big with us.”

The jackpot was the second-largest in U.S. history and set off a nationwide buying frenzy.

STARKVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; National Guard troops stationed in Afghanistan enjoyed a taste of home when the Mississippi Beef Council sent them a special care package.

The council supported the production of beef jerky by the Mississippi State University Meat Laboratory to send to National Guard units engaged in helping native farmers improve agricultural practices.

Sammy Blossom, Mississippi Beef Council executive director, said the council started the beef jerky project about six years ago and has used the MSU Meat Lab the past two years.

Tim Armstrong, MSU Meats Lab manager, said all of the meat for the jerky came from MSUraised animals. The most recent shipment was about 280 pounds of beef jerky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was made with our beef and produced in our lab, and we were happy to help with this project to show our gratitude to our troops,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Blossom said the council originally decided to send beef jerky because

Beef jerky produced by Mississippi State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meat Laboratory, such as this product at the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station Sales Store at MSU, went to National Guard troops stationed in Afghanistan in a special care package sent by the Mississippi Beef Council. livestock practices in Afghanistan.

Blossom said a flat rate box holds about 70 packs of jerky, and the council includes a handwritten note in each box thanking the troops for their service, encouraging them to share the jerky with others and explaining who sent the gift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten some great thank you letters back from the soldiers,â&#x20AC;?

Blossom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a note from one group saying they used half of the jerky to give to kids

there to help build friendships that they otherwise would no thave been able to build.â&#x20AC;?

Blossom said if possible, counties send the jerky to units with someone from their area. In recent years, six to 10 county associations have participated in the project.

The MSU Meat Laboratory is a unit of the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. Products from the Meat Lab are sold in the MAFES Sales Store.

it does not require refrigeration and is a treat from home that troops cannot often get overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an organization, we really wanted to do something to show our gratitude for everything our troops do, and we figured using our resources to make beef jerky was a great idea,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Blossom said the council has sent as many as 3,000 packs of beef jerky per year to troops.

To pay for the gift, the council uses funds from the beef check-off program, a national promotion, education and research project supported by cattle sales.

In April, the MSU Extension Service trained 54 soldiers in basic agriculture to prepare for their mission in Afghanistan, working with local growers to help improve their agricultural production practices and sustainability.

Mississippi Beef Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent beef jerky shipment went to this unit of Mississippi National Guard troops and a unit of Nebraska National Guard troops working with Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state veterinarian Jim Watson to improve native

its debt before Mississippi sued. The firm proposed to repay $1.25 million or less, and give the state rights worth up to 20 percent of any future royalty payments from its technologies, an amount that could be worth up to $8 million. The state described royalty income as â&#x20AC;&#x153;highly uncertainâ&#x20AC;? in the suit.

Gov. Phil Bryant told The Associated Press on Friday that when he met with Twin Creeks CEO Siva Sivaram on Oct. 17, he realized that the company wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to live up to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) it had signed with the state, where it promised to begin production or make its first lease payment by Dec. 31, much less ultimately hire 500 employees or invest $132 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It began to be clearer to me that they were not going to be able to meet some requirements of the MOU,â&#x20AC;? Bryant said.

The Republican governor said lawyers advised that the state should sue on Nov. 8. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three days after Twin Creeks told the state it was selling its assets to GT Ad-

vanced Technologies, according to the suit. That same day, MDA spokesman Dan Turner told the AP that Twin Creeks hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;missed any contractual obligations with the state.â&#x20AC;?

In the suit, filed in Tate County Chancery Court, the state demands not only the $23.7 million, but damages related to alleged fraud, plus punitive damages against Twin Creeks.

The state agreed to loan Twin Creeks up to $50 million at no interest for 20 years, channeling the money through the city of Senatobia. The city was supposed to collect lease payments and pay off its debt to the state. One provision of the contract called for Twin Creeks to start commercial production before Dec. 31.

The lawsuit says Twin Creeks gave the state an invoice showing it had made a sale of panels in August 2012. However, the state claims the panels were delivered to the home of a current or former Twin Creeks employee in California, and that the customer got an 85 percent discount, paying less than $500.

Friendship Christian quarterback A.J. Long threw for 84 yards and two touchdowns on 6-of-14 passing.

John Reed Odom scored Adamsville’s (12-2) lone touchdown on a 73yard run and finished the game with 112 yards on nine carries.

Bama Tide stops Dawgs for SEC crown Associated Press

ATLANTA — Alabama is heading back to the national championship game — by a mere 5 yards.

AJ McCarron threw a 45yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining, and the No. 2 Crimson Tide barely held off No. 3 Georgia 32-28 in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday.

After an apparent gameclinching interception by Alabama was overturned on a video review, Georgia’s Aaron Murray completed a 15-yard pass to Arthur Lynch, a 23-yarder to Tavarres King and a 26-yarder to Lynch, who was hauled down at the Alabama 8 as the clock continued to run.

The Bulldogs were out of timeouts.

Instead of spiking the ball and gathering themselves, the Bulldog snapped the ball

with 9 seconds to go. Murray attempted a pass into the corner but it was deflected at the line, winding up in the arms of Chris Conley out in the right flats.

Surprised to get the ball, he slipped down at the 5.

Georgia couldn’t get off another play. Alabama celebrated as confetti fell from the Georgia Dome roof. The Bulldogs collapsed on the field, stunned they had come so close to knocking off the team that has won two of the last three national titles.

The Tide will get a chance to make it three out of four when they face top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS crown on Jan. 7 in Miami.

“I’m ready to have heart attack here,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

For the Bulldogs (11-2), the consolation prize will likely be a spot in the Capital One Bowl, though they certainly

looked like a team deserving of a BCS bid. Georgia coach Mark Richt said his team had the play it wanted at the end, but Alabama ruined it by getting a hand on the ball. And if it had fallen incomplete instead of going to Conley, who instinctively caught it, the Bulldogs could have tried another play.

“I told the guys I was disappointed, but I’m not disappointed in them,” Richt said.

“They’re warriors. We had a chance at the end.”

In a back-and-forth second half that looked nothing like a game in the defensive-minded SEC, the Crimson Tide trailed 21-10 after Alec Ogletree returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Alabama rallied behind a punishing run game, finishing with 350 yards on the ground, an SEC championship game record. Eddie Lacy — the game’s MVP — rumbled for 181 yards

on 20 carries, including two TDs. Freshman T.J. Yeldon added 153 yards on 25 carries, also scoring a TD. But the Tide won it through the air.

With Georgia stacking the line, McCarron fooled the Bulldogs with play action and delivered a perfectly thrown pass to Cooper, who beat Damian Swann in single coverage down the left side.

Georgia played like a champion, too.

Using up their timeouts and forcing a punt, the Bulldogs got the ball back at their 15 with 1:16 remaining. Alabama broke into a celebration when a pass down the middle for Conley was deflected and Dee Milliner appeared to make a diving interception. But the replay showed the ball hit the ground, so Murray and the Georgia offense trotted back on the field Please see BAMA | 9A

Henderson lifts Mississippi over Rutgers 80-67 Associated Press

OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy is not a history expert, but he confirmed his research to the media after Saturday’s 80-67 win over Rutgers.

“I checked it. Ole Miss has never beaten a Big East Conference team at home until today,” Kennedy said. “I thought we would have done it pre-Civil War maybe. I thought General Lee might have gotten one, but he didn’t.”

The Rebels (6-0) needed a 14-2 outburst in the final seven minutes to snap a 5555 tie with scrappy Rutgers.

Marshall Henderson, who led the Rebels with 18 points, was the decisive factor in the winning surge.

Henderson drilled consecu-

tive three-point shots and fired an assist to Reginald Buckner to start a three-point play. LaDarius White finished the run with a three-point shot for an insurmountable 69-57 lead with 5:28 left. Rutgers never got closer than 10 points again.

“We blinked. We blinked on Henderson,” Rutgers coach Mike Rice said. “I liked 75 percent of what I saw today and the other 25 percent we’re working hard to correct.

We were right there at 55-55 with an opportunity.”

The Scarlet Knights (4-2) made it difficult for Ole Miss, racing to a 12-2 lead in the opening five minutes and holding a 36-32 lead at halftime. In the final 10 minutes, Rutgers had no effective answers for the inside combina-

tion of Murphy Holloway and Reginald Buckner.

Holloway finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds, while Buckner had 14 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots. The duo was joined in double figures with 13 points from White and 12 from Jarvis Summers.

“We stayed after it inside.

I don’t think we wore them down, but we got them in foul trouble,” Holloway said.

“Rutgers played hard. It was physical out there, but we were able to get it done around the basket.”

The Rebels needed that inside edge, since they managed a season-low 17 of 39 from the free throw line. Ole Miss actually shot a higher percentage from the field, hitting 28 of 64 shots.

“It’s been that way in these Big East/SEC games,” Kennedy said. “The games I’ve watched, the games have been really physical and the teams struggle offensively to hit shots. I’m happy we got to 80 points shooting those percentages.”

Rutgers struggled from the field, managing 22 of 54, 40.7 percent and had only four baskets in the final seven minutes. Eli Carter, the leading scorer this season with 18 points per game, finished with 10 points, including 1 of 12 from the field and 0 of 6 from three-point range.

Myles Mack led Rutgers with 15 points, six rebounds and five assists. Dane Miller added 14 points and Wally Judge had a team-high nine rebounds.

CONTINUED FROM 8A

Super 10 and No. 1 in 4A, joins Bassfield, Hazlehurst and Lafayette in finishing the season 16-0.

Fernando Phillips had a 12yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Robinson scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth to finish the season with 50 touchdowns.

Noxubee County’s defense held Greene County to just 121 yards total offense and nine first downs.

Lamarcus Franks had a 4-yard touchdown run for Greene County (10-5).

BAMA CONTINUED FROM 8A

for their last gasp.

And what a gasp it was.

Just not quite enough.

Todd Gurley led Georgia with 122 yards rushing, including a couple of TDs. Murray was 18 of 33 for 265 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

McCarron was 12 of 21 for 162 yards with an interception, just his third of the season.

After a defensive slugfest in the first half, the final two quarters were nothing but run-and-gun.

Alabama running. Georgia gunning.

Trailing 10-7, Georgia took the kickoff to start the second half and marched down the field for a goahead touchdown. Gurley ran it seven times, capped by leg-churning, 3-yard drive up the middle to make it 14-10.

Alabama looked like it was about to answer, holding the ball for more than 5 1-2 minutes, before the drive stalled.

Cade Foster came on for a 50yard field-goal attempt, but his low kick was swatted down by Cornelius Washington. Ogletree scooped up the bouncing ball and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown.

Suddenly, the Bulldogs led 2110.

But the Tide wasn’t about to go away that easy. Yeldon broke off a 31-yard run, Swann was called interference on a throw down the middle, and Yeldon powered in from the 10. He ran it again for the 2-point conversion, pulling Alabama to 21-18.

Georgia went three-and-out, and the ground assault resumed.

Lacy barreled over right guard for 32 yards. Yeldon got it down to the 1. Lacy returned for the first snap of the fourth period, bulling over to put Alabama ahead 25-21.

The Tide’s momentum lasted about 2 minutes.

Murray found King down the middle for a 45-yard completion and Gurley finished off the lightning-quick possession with a 10-yard touchdown run up the middle.

After the clock had finally run out on Georgia, Richt made one last pitch for a BCS bid.

“Do I think we’re worthy of a BCS bowl?” he said. “Yes I do.”

The Bulldogs even got props from Saban.

“It would be a crying shame if Georgia doesn’t get to go to a BCS bowl game,” the Alabama coach said. “They played a tremendous game out there. That was a great football game, by both teams.

Providence defeats Mississippi State 73-63 Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Kadeem Batts scored 32 points and LaDontae Henton added 18, leading Providence to a 7363 nonconference victory over Mississippi State on Saturday.

Wendell Lewis came off the bench strong for Mississippi State (2-5), setting a career high with 16 points and also grabbing 11 rebounds.

Providence guard Bryce Cotton left the game with 3:54 remaining in the first half with an apparent knee injury, leaving the

Friars (6-2) just six players for the rest of the game. Coach Ed Cooley said Cotton’s status is unknown.

Cotton’s exit today follows a leg injury suffered early in the season by Vincent Council, who is day-to-day, and a shoulder injury that has held Kris Dunn out of the lineup so far. Four more Friars are currently ineligible to compete.

“It’s a great win under the circumstances,” said Cooley. “Kadeem was a lottery pick today, how he played, he had an incred-

ible presence on the floor, a demanding presence; he was great in the huddle, great in the locker room.”

Walk-on Ted Bancroft came off the bench for 32 minutes for the Friars, and freshman Josh Fortune assumed the role of point guard for most of the game after Cotton’s injury, playing all 40 minutes.

The Friars never trailed after starting off the game with a 13-1 run over a span of 5:28. Batts contributed six points to the run, during which Mississippi State

went 0-for-8 from the field.

The first few minutes were a sign of things to come for Mississippi State, which shot 35.9 percent overall (23 of 64) from the field and went 2-for-22 from 3-point range in the SEC-Big East Challenge contest.

The Bulldogs made it interesting late in the second half, going on a 13-0 run to narrow the Friars’ lead to 66-60 with less than a minute to go. Providence, however, locked down the game by making seven free throws down the stretch, four by Henton.

Police: Chiefs’ Jovan Belcher kills girlfriend, self

fined to the street just outside the gates.

The team said it would play its home game against the Carolina Panthers as scheduled on Sunday at noon local time “after discussions between the league office, Head Coach Romeo Crennel and Chiefs team captains.”

A spokesman for Kansas City told The Associated Press that Crennel plans to coach the team.

Belcher was a 25-year-old native of West Babylon, N.Y., on Long Island, who played col-

lege ball at Maine. He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, made the team and stayed with it for four years, moving into the starting lineup.

He’d played in all 11 games this season.

“The entire Chiefs family is deeply saddened by today’s events, and our collective hearts are heavy with sympathy, thoughts and prayers for the families and friends affected by this unthinkable tragedy,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend Saturday, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager.

Authorities did not release a possible motive for the murder-suicide, though police said that Belcher and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, had been arguing recently.

The two of them have a 3-monthold girl who was being cared for by family.

Belcher thanked general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel before shooting himself in the parking lot of the team’s Pellets $235.00 practice facility, A Ton police spokesman Darin Snapp said.

Engagement

Cleveland couple bit by travel bug The Bolivar Commercial

Leslie Renae Purvis, Russ Michael Tally

Purvis — Tally Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Purvis III announce the engagement of their daughter, Leslie Renae Purvis, to Russ Michael Tally, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Lee Tally of Saltillo.

The bride-elect is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Erbie B. Rencher of Corinth and Mr. Robert C. Purvis Jr. and the late Mrs. Kathleen Joan Purvis of Corinth.

Miss Purvis is a 2004 graduate of Corinth High School Academic and Performing Arts center where she was a member of the basketball and tennis teams and graduated with honors. She is also a 2009 graduate of Mississippi State University where she earned a master of science degree in elementary education. She is currently a first-grade teacher at Mooreville Elementary School.

The prospective groom

is the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. James P. “Bud” Tally of Mooreville and Mrs. Coline Merrit and the late Mr. Wayne M. Merritt of Saltillo.

Mr. Tally is a 2004 graduate of Mooreville High School where he was a member of the basketball and baseball teams and graduated as valedictorian of his class.

He is also a 2008 graduate of Mississippi State University, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in accountancy. He is currently an information systems representative at Central Service Association in Tupelo.

The couple will exchange wedding vows on Dec. 8, 2012 at 2 p.m. at the Fillmore Street Chapel in Corinth. A reception will follow at the First United Methodist Church fellowship hall. Family and friends are invited to attend.

Victim of molestation breaks her long silence DEAR ABBY: When I was in grammar school 50 years ago, I was molested by two boys. I recently learned that they are now both dead.

I wrote to the sister of one of them Abigail and told Van Buren her what her brothDear Abby er had done to me and how I felt about it.

I’m glad that he is dead, and I told her so.

She responded, calling my letter sad and bitter for bringing up the matter after so much time has transpired. In the ‘60s the norm was not to tell anyone for fear of being spanked or beaten or called a liar. I am a female, and the standard was so different in those days. Please print my letter. -- CONFUSED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CONFUSED: If this was something the sister was unaware of, you shouldn’t be surprised that she responded as she did to your bombshell.

I agree that we have become more open about discussing sex and sexual assaults than we were in the ‘60s. And I hope that somewhere along the way you received counseling to help you deal with the molestation, because talking with a qualified mental health professional about it can be therapeutic. However, if you haven’t, please contact RAINN, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Net-

work. Its toll-free number is 800-656-4673. You can find assistance there, and nothing will shock them.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating the most wonderful man, “Art,” for almost four years. He’s strong, caring and he treats me like a princess.

We have discussed marriage several times, and I suspect he will propose soon. My only worry is that we’ll end up like my parents someday.

While I was growing up, I never saw any signs that my parents really loved each other. Dad always seemed like he was trying too hard to make Mom happy, while she either was indifferent to his affections or dismissed his efforts.

I have mentioned my fears to Art and he has told me not to worry, but I can’t help but worry. How can I keep the past from repeating? -- UNLIKE MY PARENTS DEAR UNLIKE: Your mother may have been attempting to control your father by withholding affection and approval as he tried harder and harder to please her, and that’s very sad. But you don’t have to follow in her footsteps.

If you and Art are able to discuss your differences and reach a consensus when problems arise, you should be fine.

(Dear Abby is written

by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

For some, when the travel bugs bites, there is no cure.

Clevelander Dr. Macklyn “Mack” Hubbell, 81, and his wife of 60 years, Elizabeth, were bit in the ‘50s and have been adventuring ever since.

The couple first fell in love with travel while attending graduate school in Switzerland in 1953 and have since visited 125 countries on the map.

Hubbell, who served as the senior pastor at Cleveland’s First Baptist Church from 1962-1980, began taking his wife around the world thanks to his background in psychology and counseling.

“Through the International Mission Board, I was sent to provide professional help to the missionaries located in different countries,” said Hubbell.

“We’ve had so many amazing experiences living on five of the seven continents because of my assignments.”

The Hubbells lived this exciting lifestyle for

Airman Larue graduates basic training Air Force Airman Breeana W. Larue graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Larue is the daughter of Mike Larue of Rienzi. She is a 2009 graduate of Corinth High School.

about 10 years before settling back in Cleveland but the globetrotting never ends.

“Since 2002 onward we have been tackling our travel bucket list,” he said. “We’ve had a long list of countries and places to visit for a while now.”

Their most recent journey was one of their fondest a two-week excursion in early November through the Hudson Bay arctic region of Canada.

“We were moving along real slow in our tundra-mobile and this giant polar bear came right up and stuck his head through the open window,” he said. “I will never forget it.”

One of Hubbell’s favorite travel elements is developing a special connection with local wildlife; from close encounters with artic polar bears, walking among gorillas in Rwanda, sighting giant sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands, seeing a pride of lions in Africa or being chased by a family of ba-

boons.

With all the incredible voyages, the Hubbells remain proud of their Bolivar County ties and enjoy sharing their stories with locals.

“Every day our lives are impacted by the travel experiences we’ve had,” said Elizabeth. “We enjoy it when people approach us and are curious about our trips.”

Hubbell frequently writes of their travels in a weekly Bolivar Commercial column, and he is also the author of books ranging in many topics religion, philosophy, travel, restaurants, miniessays and beyond.

“A lot of people in the area connect with his articles and his writing,” said Elizabeth. “People are very curious about our vast world.”

Hubbell, mostly retired, still provides counseling services out of his home, but he spends a great deal of his time as a torchbearer for community service.

He has worked closely with the court system to improve city beautifica-

tion in Cleveland, and he also voluntarily teaches through a rehab program at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman.

Hubbell also works with the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce to recognize quality courtesy workers from local businesses.

“My philosophy is that if you live in a community, you need to contribute to it,” Hubbell said.

“I want to do more than just pay taxes I want to make a contribution.

“We are drawn to Cleveland because of the connections we’ve made with so many great people.”

The appreciation for travel and service live strong in the Hubbell family, as they have for so many years.

Future destinations include Belgium, Holland, Greenland and everywhere else on the extraordinary bucket list.

“I always say, just live as long as you can live,” he said. “As long as you are healthy, live as long as you can live.”

Horoscopes Sunday, December 2, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

It’s the moment of truth. In the poker game of the stars, Jupiter sits across from the sun with a jolly look on his face and casually asks everyone at the table to show their cards.

But life isn’t totally like poker. In life, it’s those who feel best about their cards who take the pot.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t give into the pressure to change.

The person pushing you doesn’t understand that you still need nurturing and care. When you’re ready to change, you won’t be able to stop yourself from doing so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While dealing with an authority figure, ignore the minor mistakes. They will soon be forgotten, and they don’t matter anyway. Being the bigger person helps you see the bigger picture.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You might make a purchase if it costs less than the amount in your wallet. But if it requires you to go to the ATM, you’ll skip it. What you want on impulse you devalue if you take the time to think about it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly wondering how to make sultry eye contact or scintillating small talk. These interests are an outcropping of your broader interest in getting a certain person’s undivided attention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may take two to tango, but each partner can work on the steps alone to get ready for the next dance. Preparation is the magic ingredient that will make a relationship work beautifully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are things that look nice from the outside -- a beach house, marriage to royalty, a pony -- that are actually a lot more work than appearances suggest. Right now the fantasy is more enjoyable than the reality would be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). True friends will reflect back to you your best qualities. If you feel less wonderful about yourself around a certain person, consider that the person may not be a true friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). At times like now, inaction can be the most positive and powerful thing to do -- or to not do. Be cautious. Only make a move if you feel undeniably driven to do so. Also, people will respect your decision not to decide.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Even simple things can seem confounding now. If you have a mind full of question marks, consider yourself wise. Only the very young and the very immature think they know everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

People have a tendency to be overly dramatic and drag you into it. The only person you should get serious about now is someone who makes you laugh.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re not exactly working for a seal of approval, but it still feels good to get one from someone you admire.

Self-acceptance has a subtler benefit, but it lasts longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The person whose opinion matters so much to you will give up a stamp of approval. Soon you’re on to bigger things -- like self-acceptance. Diversity keeps you creative.

Child star of ‘Beasts’ back in Louisiana bayou

BY STACEY PLAISANCE Associated Press

HOUMA, La. — She was just nominated for a Spirit Award for her leading role in “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” and there’s buzz that Golden Globe and Oscar nods could be next. But these days, Quvenzhane Wallis is more concerned about picking up long division in her math class than trophies in Hollywood.

“I actually had to learn what an Oscar was,” Quvenzhane said over a lunch of fried shrimp and crawfish at the 9-year-old girl’s favorite seafood restaurant in her hometown of Houma, about 60 miles southeast of New Orleans.

Quvenzhane said she was shown a picture of what an Oscar looks like and came up with a nickname: “I call him ‘the

golden man,”’ she said, crossing her arms across her chest emulating the iconic statue.

If given the opportunity to go to the Oscars, Quvenzhane certainly knows what to expect.

The fourth-grader has walked many red carpets since “Beasts” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won a grand jury prize, and then played at the Cannes fest, where the film took the Camera d’Or prize.

Quvenzhane, who had never acted before and doesn’t watch much television, said she didn’t know who Susan Sarandon was when the actress presented her with a New Hollywood Award in Beverly Hills last month. Nor did she know Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington when the actors congrat-

ulated her at another ceremony.

“I’m just like, OK I got an award, nice to know.

And then I just go back to what I do,” she said.

In the bayou town of Houma, that means cheerleading and school, where her favorite subject is math. It also means being picked on by her two older brothers and spending Halloween dressed in an orange and black tiger costume, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows with her friends and family.

“I’m just normal,” she said. “I’m just this girl who always fights with her brothers, like normal, always tackles the big dog that’s always in the house, like normal.”

She’s the youngest of four children — ages 9 to 19 — to a teacher mom

and truck driver dad who have been married for 20 years. During the “Beasts” publicity run, her mom has been traveling with her while her dad stays behind with the couple’s other children — two sons, and a daughter in college.

“We’re still us,” said her mom, Qulyndreia Wallis.

She said being a teacher has helped keep Quvenzhane on track with her studies while traveling, and her family’s distance from the entertainment industry has made it easy to keep their youngest child grounded.

“This is all still so new to us, so we are totally on the outside,” Wallis said.

“We just go with the flow.”

Quvenzhane was just 5 when she auditioned for the film’s lead role of Hushpuppy, a little

girl with a wild imagination struggling to survive in the southern Delta with her ailing father as a storm approaches.

Dwight Henry plays the father and like Quvenzhane, he had no acting experience.

It was also the directorial debut for Behn Zeitlin, who co-wrote “Beasts.”

Quvenzhane had turned 6 when the film was shot in Pointe-auxChenes and Isle de Jean Charles — the last inhabited speck of land at the end of a winding highway south of Houma.

She gripped the hearts of audiences around the world with her portrayal of a little girl fighting for her physical and spiritual survival in a big, hard world .

Although it was her first time on a film set, Quven-

zhane read her lines and took direction like a pro, said Henry.

“She has something inside her that is so very special,” he said, joking that one day he’ll be old and in a wheelchair and will be watching Quvenzhane on TV. “She has such a bright future ahead of her, and I look forward to seeing her in film again and maybe possibly working with her again.”

Quvenzhane says she would like to be a dentist “to see people smile,” but won’t be giving up acting, which so far has given her plenty to smile about as the honors for her and “Beasts” just keep coming.

But whether she or the film will be nominated for an Academy Award, “that’s not in my head,” she said.

MIDDLETON, Wis. — Remember Roseanne Roseannadana? Or Emily Litella? Or Baba Wawa?

Younger generations might not recognize the characters popularized by comedian Gilda Radner. Nor might they remember Radner herself, an original cast member of “Saturday Night Live” who died 23 years ago and for whom a national cancer support group is named.

That’s troubling to the Madison-area chapter of Gilda’s Club, which planned to change its name in part because of concern that many don’t know who Radner was.

But the move prompted outrage from some Radner fans — who see it as a slight to a woman who confronted cancer with dignity and humor — and led other chapters to hastily reaffirm they have absolutely no intention of changing their names.

Lannia Syren Stenz, the Madison-area club’s executive director, said her organization decided to change its name to Cancer Support Community Southwest Wisconsin after it realized that most college students were born after Radner died in 1989.

“We are seeing younger and younger adults who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis,” Stenz told the Wisconsin State Journal.

“We want to make sure that what we are is clear to them and that there’s not a lot of confusion that would cause people not to come in our doors.”

Her comments angered some Radner fans, who let loose a storm of criticism on the organization’s Facebook page.

“The only educating you’re doing is teaching kids that when they die from cancer, their name will be erased from history in 20 years because the next generation doesn’t know who they are. Way to give them hope!” wrote Mark Warneke, 44, a fulltime college student in Arlington, Texas.

On Thursday, Stenz referred questions from the AP to Linda House, executive vice president of the national group. House said there was no evidence that young people are unfamiliar with Radner and the name change was motivated by the desire to make the organization’s mission clear. She called Stenz’s comments “not accurate, period.”

“Gilda Radner is very much a part of the fiber of this organization,” House said. “There has never been an intent and there is no intent to lose Gilda as part of the organiza-

tion.”

Radner, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1986, sought support from The Wellness Community in California and wrote about her experience in her book “It’s Always Something,” a reference to one of her characters’ catch-phrases.

Her friends and family started Gilda’s Club in 1991 on the East Coast to honor her legacy. The name was inspired by something Radner said after her diagnosis: “Having cancer gave me membership in an elite club I’d rather not belong to.”

Gilda’s Club Worldwide merged with The Wellness Community in 2009, and the joint headquarters in Washington changed its name to the Cancer Support Community. Local chapters were given the choice of keeping their names or switching to Cancer Support Community, House said.

The 56 chapters around the world deliver $40 million a year in free care to about 1 million cancer patients and their families, she said. Of those chapters, 20 are known as Gilda’s Club, three are Wellness Community and 23 are Cancer Support Community.

Changing the chapters’ names made sense to Ron Nief, a professor at Beloit College in southern Wisconsin. He said it could become harder for Gilda’s Club to attract donations as fewer people remember seeing Radner on TV. “I think we all want to keep our traditions alive,” he said, “but there comes a reality in this case of what does this group represent and how do we raise money for it.”

Radner’s husband, actor Gene Wilder, said he didn’t like the name change but he understood it. He said if he had to break the news to his late wife she might ask, “Do they have to throw me out?”

“I’d say, ‘It’s not throwing you out, honey, it’s getting more money.’ And she’d say, ‘OK, I guess if they have to, they have to,”’ he said. “It’s too bad.

I wish it weren’t so. But I understand.”

Other organizations were adamant about keeping the Gilda’s Club name. LauraJane Hyde, who runs the Chicago chapter, said her group has spent 15 years teaching people that Radner’s name was synonymous with cancer support, in the same way people know what Starbucks sells even though “coffee” isn’t in its name.

“A lot of people feel very passionately about the name,” she said. “We will lose donations if we change it.”

Entertainment was plenty during Civil War years

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

I like to take Nita out on the town on Saturday nights.

Sometimes it’s out to the movies on Harper or occasionally we roll a few frames over at the bowling alley. Thursdays we are tapping our toes at “Pickin’ on the Square” down at the courthouse and we’re big fans of the plays at the Corinth Theater-Arts.

The point is — there is plenty of good entertainment in Corinth and there always has been.

This goes for the Civil War days, too. A soldier with time on his hands could always find something to see or do downtown. A good place to start was the local paper, The Corinth Chanticleer, which strived to keep its readers abreast of all the options in town.

“The Corinth Theater is now the accepted place of amusement of the city.

It is conveniently located on Union Square opposite the Tishomingo House.

This institution is owned

by Benjamin and Shaw, who have engaged some of the best talent in the country, who are nightly drawing crowded houses.

Tom Cony – Sharpe – Hastings – Sallie Thayer – Kate Taylor and Little Flora, supported by a nu-

merous troupe of auxiliaries, would give satisfactory entertainment in any city of the Union.”

“Little Flora” Cony was packing the seats with her “Enfield Rifle Dance,” whatever that was. Tom Cony, her husband, brother or father, was also a draw who had been pulling in big crowds at Chicago, St. Louis and Memphis before making his way to Corinth. Tom was a clown and kept them rolling in the aisles with his trademark act of “Jocko, the Brazilian Ape.” Sallie Thayer was a dancer though the Chanticleer admitted, “as we don’t understand French, we have forgotten the name of it.”

The editor/publisher of the paper, Pvt. Charles Hildreth, was a big fan and frequent patron of the Corinth Theater. As a consequence they received glowing reviews in the Chanticleer.

“This fashionable place of entertainment is crowded nightly. The popular troupe under the direction of Mr. Hann has finished the first week of their engagement with unbounded success. Mr. Hann is a first class performer and has shown much taste in the selection of his company. Miss Nellie Lewis has been outdoing herself lately, and

her fair sylph-like form as it hovers ‘twixt earth and air in the maze of ‘the many twinkling feet,” has almost divested her admirers of their sober senses, - Nellie is, besides being a graceful danseuse, a good general performer, and though as yet, quite young, promises to be an ornament to the stage.

The late appearance of the pretty little form of Miss Helen Howe upon the stage causes a new flutter among the susceptible, and her winning ways and coquettish glances, cause immense palpitations in the vicinity of a fellow’s pocket watch. Miss Howe has been sick for some time, but the bloom of health is fast returning to her cheek. Messrs. Landers, Marble and Matthews are all good performers, and combine a variety of talent. We “respectfully request” that Miss Nellie Lewis will favor her numerous admirers with a ballad now and then, as the few notes she warbled forth the other night in the play of the “Dumb Belle,” convinced us that there is “music in her soule,” and if she will allow it to breathe its soft accents through her mouth, there will be “music in the air.”

The Corinth Theater wasn’t the only show in town.

Beiders’ brought in big

crowds as well and they also received a sparkling write-up in the paper.

“Beiders’s Pavilion Novelties have been giving entertainments in our city for some time, with apparent success, though up to going to press we have had little opportunity of judging their merits.

They have a large troupe, and are drawing crowded houses. Mr. Sparks and his wife who is better known in this city as Emma Winthrop, came in on yesterday’s train and will appear soon. Emma is a great favorite in Corinth, as we know her numerous friends and will be glad to welcome her back. The celebrated Mr. Salisbury and family have engaged, which is of itself, enough to ensure success.

His little daughter is a trump, and should study for the legitimate drama, as she gives evidence of talent. We should be glad to speak of the troupe and their performance, in detail, but want of space prevents until next issue.”

Another option was the Corinth Music Hall, but apparently their acts were of a lower caliber and ticket sales were falling off.

The proprietors sold the building to a fellow who planned to operate a store but “the show must go on” and the Music Hall

reopened under a tent.

There was even an early version of Pickin’ on the Square. “Our Post Band have received their new silver instruments, and are nightly enlivening the city with their spirited music. Their leader, Jim Porter, is a fine musician, and his selections are from the best music of the day.”

As you would expect, there were other forms of entertainment that mother would not approve of.

There was a racetrack, billiard parlors, a bowling alley, and any number of saloons.

Cpl. J.E. Carraway of the 19th Louisiana Infantry told how some of the men in his company returned from a visit to such an establishment.

“Our Irish comrades were found to be almost to a man drinking or drunk, and I can assure you it took means more foul than persuasion to quiet them. The question, ‘where did you get your whiskey?’ was asked one after the other. Not until a late hour the following day were the facts ascertained. The saloon men, upon closing their doors, let the barrels and casks remain in the same position which they had occupied while in use. These positions were known to the patrons of the sa-

loon, and at a dark hour and in the stillness of the night these dear lovers of the overjoyful stealthily crawled under the floor of the saloon, with camp kettles and with a brace and bit, and bored through the floor and into the barrel, and the barrel having in it rather more than the kettles would hold, they undertook to drink the overflow and save the kettles for future use. The overflow being enough to make all hands drunk, drunk, drunk.”

But not all the saloons were the notorious gin houses you might expect.

The Secession Saloon is a case in point and ran the following ad in the paper: “Ice Cream and Soda Water. The undersigned would respectfully announce to the citizens and soldiers of Corinth and vicinity, that he has located himself at the Secession Saloon, where he will, at any moment, be pleased to serve his customers with Ice Cream, Soda-Water, Cakes, and everything usually kept in establishments of this kind. E.H. Chapin.”

Then, as now, there was always something to do in Corinth.

Family tradition: Etta man still operating a sorghum mill

BY ERROL CASTENS Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal

ETTA — “Slow as molasses” has a multitude of meanings, and sorghum syrup maker Terry Norwood knows them all.

There’s the long summer of growth between planting tiny sorghum seeds and harvesting the tall, grass-family plants.

There’s the three- to five-day wait after cutting and bundling to let nature work on the sugars in the stalks before running it through an antique roller apparatus to squeeze the juice out.

And even when the sorghum has been squeezed, the fire is hot and the steam is rising, it seems an eternity before the first clear juice cooks down into the thick amber syrup that some folks say is the best friend a biscuit ever had.

Sorghum is in Norwood’s blood.

“My uncle, great-uncle, granddaddy and greatgranddaddy were all sorghum makers,” he said.

It was away from home that Norwood first made his own sorghum.

“Actually I had a fellow that was helping me when I was farming in Tennessee,” he said. “His brother made syrup, so he and I would grow eight or 10 rows, enough for us to have a little bit. They had all the equipment, and I learned a little bit.”

When Norwood started teaching vocational agriculture at Ingomar, he and his students raised sorghum for the school festival.

“We cooked down at the school a couple of years, but as a rule the kids weren’t as enthused about it as I was,” he said.

“I loaded up equipment

one day, and I landed right there under this tree. That’s where my great-granddaddy and my granddaddy cooked.”

For 30 years since, Norwood has spent much of every fall making sorghum molasses in a rustic but efficient building of his own construction.

When any of several plantings reaches a certain maturity, he uses one ancient machine to decapitate the seed heads, then another to cut the stalks and tie them in bundles.

“We want to leave it in the field for three to five days to let the leaves dry up, let the cane mellow,” he said. “Once that cane is cut off the ground, the natural enzymes take over and change that form of sugar so it can be cooked down.” He grinds the stalks in the field until he fills a 300-gallon

converted milk tank that keeps the juice at 34 degrees for a day or two, until he cooks it down to 30 gallons of syrup the next day.

Norwood, a board member of the National Association of Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors, said sorghum takes over his life in the fall.

“When I started, I was farming in a pretty big way, but eventually this got to be the tail that wagged the dog,” he said.

Even when he went to work with Farm Bureau full time, his sorghum making only increased.

Though the principle is the same sugary juice concentrated into thick syrup sorghum and sugar cane are different plants.

Sugar cane yields several years’ harvest from one laborious planting in its favored climes but won’t

reliably survive winters in Northeast Mississippi.

Sweet sorghum has to be replanted each year, but it’s an easy process.

The juicy grass will reliably grow even in parts of the Midwest, although it has long been identified with the rural South.

“It’s very cheap to grow an acre of sorghum,” he said. “I’ve got a poundand-a-half of seed and no fertilizer. I may plow it, but until it’s ready to harvest, we really haven’t got anything in it.

“When we say it’s ready to harvest, the fun’s over and the work starts.”

The juice trickles down a tube to one end of the slightly tapered, 12-footlong copper cooking pan, under which a fire made from dry pine sawmill slabs heats the juice, boiling off most of the liquid and concentrating the sugars in a 90-minute trip

around several baffles. At the syrup end of the pan, Norwood lifts the scalding liquid over the last barrier, which prevents partially cooked juice from mixing with the finished molasses.

Norwood’s wife, Debbie, likes to bring their grandson, Lem Tate, to the syrup shed while she pours syrup into quartand pint-sized plastic jugs and caps them.

“He’s taking it all in,” she said of the 1-year-old.

“He’s learning how to make syrup.”

While the Norwoods sell some of their crop at festivals and pumpkin patches and some through mail order to out-of-state and out-ofcountry customers, most of it leaves with folks who come down their driveway.

Tough early deer season should get much better Each year the white-tail breeding period, otherwise known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;rutâ&#x20AC;?, seems to start later and later.

Some wildlife biologists argue itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true, but according to the number of buck sightings and the amount of rutting sign reported seen by hunters during the first firearms season this year and last year tell a different story.

Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firearms season has once again gotten off to a slow start here in the Northeast corner of the state -- just like it did last year. Many local hunters have found it hard to see any deer, much less a legal buck. Plenty of sign such as tracks and droppings were being

found, but nowhere near the amount of good buck sign that was being found at this time of the season last year.

The abof David sence buck rutGreen ting activOutdoors ity is not just strictly a local theme. Sportsmen hunting in the edges of Tennessee and as far west as Benton are all telling the same story.

It could be one of two things ... or maybe both.

You make the call. Climate change is impacting the timing of the rut or, as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mentioned before,

acorns are not near as prevalent as in previous years.

Bucks tend to lay down a lot more sign and exhibit rutting behavior early in the season during years that boasts very good mast crops.

Deer of both sexes have been nocturnal for the most part, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to stay that way through the first week of December due to the full moon.

But after that, be ready because the season is going to get a lot more interesting.

Increased daytime deer movement is nothing out of the ordinary for the time frame I just talked about. The primitive weapons season has

havens to check the ladies out.

Doe deer prefer bedding in more subtle terrain such as young growth cut-over and pine thickets that have ample browse.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever wondered why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always stressed hunting in or around tracts of pine, now you know.

Most hunters like hunting cut-over because they can see for an extended range. On the other hand, many do not like hunting pine timber because of the opposite effect. But if you can find where two or more trails intersect in a sparse section of pines or a pine ridge and hollow leading from a somewhat brushy creek bottom, odds are good youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

found a likely place to intercept a cruising buck looking for a receptive girlfriend.

Tough hunting was the storyline for many area hunters during the first gun season. But as the rut nears and food sources deplete, count on it to get better. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real good chance a feel good story is about to unfold.

always been a prime time to catch a big buck on the move. Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primitive weapons season began yesterday, Dec.1 and extends through Friday, Dec.14.

In my last two columns I talked about hunting near a food source deer are using at the moment and hunting big buck hang-outs such as brushy creek bottoms.

Those are good early season options, but as the breeding period approaches, one of the best places to set up is near a known doe bedding area.

Bucks wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as concerned as much about food, they know where doe family groups like to bed, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be leaving their out-of-the-way safe

Even though much of the work is within the capacity of one man, syrup making often remains a social event, with both new customers and old friends hanging around, trying (or pretending) to be useful.

It evokes memories of now-gone relatives and friends who used to do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daddy was my fireman, and Woodrow Gray and Daddy would get out here on Saturday evening, lying and telling stories,â&#x20AC;? Norwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them a time or two, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all are going to help

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give anything to have them back.â&#x20AC;?

Sorghum making is still a family affair for the Norwoods, but to keep it that way Terry Norwood had to mechanize, cobbling together a cutterbinder from corn pickers last made in the 1940s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to take my personal days when I was teaching at Independence to take a machete and cut sorghum by hand,â&#x20AC;? Deb-

Terry Norwood remembers the moment of truth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One time I got told I could probably run around with the bestlooking woman in Union County and talk my way out of it but that if I planted any more sorghum I was probably going to get a divorce,â&#x20AC;? he joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the family, and it kind of got to be an obsession.â&#x20AC;?
