Sales tax enjoyed a boost in the latest reported month while the tourism tax continues on an up-and-down pattern in the new fi scal year.
Corinth’s sales tax diver-sion for the month totaled $486,100.86, an increase of 6.8 percent, or about $31,000, from the same month a year earlier, according to numbers released Friday by the Missis-
sippi Department of Revenue. The number refl ects sales activ-ity in Corinth businesses during the month of November.
The fi rst four months of the fi scal year yielded $1.847 mil-lion in sales tax proceeds re-
turned to the city, an increase of 4.7 percent from the same point a year earlier. The city has posted gains in three of the four months since the new fi s-cal year began Oct. 1.
The latest month was gener-
ally positive across the state, with total sales tax rising 5 percent across Mississippi. In northeast Mississippi, eight of 11 municipalities posted gains.

Corinth police are seeking leads on a suspect who robbed employees as they closed a South Harper Road store Fri-day night.
It happened at the Dollar Tree about 10:30 p.m.
Detective Capt. Ralph Dance said two female employees exited the store and one had turned to lock the door when a male subject suddenly came running down the sidewalk and knocked her to the ground. The man took the store bank bag with an unspecifi ed amount of cash and fl ed around the back of the building.
The man did not display a fi rearm.
One of the girls had minor injuries including bruises and was taken to Magnolia Regional Health Center to be checked out.
Police have few details on the suspect. Dance said the man was described as having an average build, and he wore all black and a ski mask. The race of the suspect is unknown.
Detective Dell Green is work-ing the case.
To report information, con-tact the police department at 286-3377 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-773-tips or crimestop-persms.com to report tips anonymously.
Suspect robs clerksBY JEBB JOHNSTON
The Crossroads Museum will be among four across the state getting some time in the spot-light before attendees at the annual meeting of the Missis-sippi Historical Society.
Set for March 6 through March 8, the event will give Museum Director Brandy
Steen an opportunity to pro-mote the museum during the Local History Matters Session in the historic House of Repre-sentatives Chamber at the Old Capitol Museum.
“It is a rare opportunity, and I am excited about the chance to go down there,” said Steen.
Crossroads Museum gets time in spotlight
BY JEBB [email protected]
Since its inception in April 2009, the Green Market at the Corinth Depot has provided a place where Crossroads resi-dents could sell their handmade and homegrown items.
The market has been the foundation for many aspiring crafters, artisans and gardeners whose hobbies quickly turned into successful businesses as demand for their unique items grew.
Green Market season sell-ers Traci Underwood and her mom, Sandi Johnson, own-
ers of Traci & Mom’s Treats & Gifts, are quick to give credit to the market for jump starting their venture during the 2010 season.
“We had been to the market before as customers and knew what others were doing,” said Underwood. “But we were un-certain if our homemade jams and jellies would be a hit or a miss.”
The yummy treats were a hit.“Since we got started doing
this, we have sold over 2,400 jars of jams and jellies,” said Johnson. “When we think about that number, its very
humbling.”
A yummy beginning
As a young girl, Underwood spent her summers with her grandmother, Bernice Norton or as many know her, Nana Bea. It was during this time Under-wood fi rst became interested in cooking and canning.
“Nana Bea was always in the kitchen doing something,” said Underwood pondering her childhood. “I was about ten years old when she fi nally

started letting me help do some of the actual can-ning.”
Underwood loved bak-ing and coming up with her own special recipes from an early age.
“She’d come back from Nana’s, telling me about everything she made,” said Johnson.
After a 20 year stint at Quebecor World, Under-wood found herself on the long list of employees who would lose their job in the spring of 2010. The 42-year-old soon settled into a new job as a pre-school teacher at Wheeler Grove Learning Center, but it was still tough mak-ing “ends meet”.
She started thinking about ways to make extra income.
“We had done crafts for the public forever and had sold our things at various craft malls in recent years,” said Under-wood. “I knew I wanted to get back into that some-how and thought canning would be a good main fo-cus for us.”
Underwood fi nally talk-ed her mother into joining her in the new venture.
“We were picking blue-berries one day and I asked her .... begged her, almost,” said Underwood while laughing. “We start-ed working that day mak-ing jams and jellies and never looked back.”
The mother-daughter team started stock pil-ing fruits and vegetables grown on their Rienzi and
Wenasoga properties. Blueberries, strawber-ries, blackberries, apples, fi gs, pears, peaches, mus-cadines, tomatoes, zuc-chinis, cucumbers and around 20 different types of peppers all grow be-hind the Johnson’s home.
“We started off making what the family liked the most,” Johnson said. “We used my mother’s recipe and made pear preserves, which remains our best
seller to this day.”Muscadine jam was
also an early favorite.“Some of the more off
the wall favors, I had to buy the contents of at the store,” Underwood add-ed, speaking of the tasty, yet unique mango, apri-cot, raspberry, cranberry and pineapple favored jams and jellies available for purchase.
“I love inventing these different favors and try-
ing them out,” she said. “Some people say they don’t eat jelly, because they don’t eat toast. But, jelly and jam goes good on anything.”
Underwood said she enjoys their special recipe pepper jelly on steak and the apple honey with pork chops.
Nana Bea’s favorite combination is topping her pancakes with freshly canned pear preserves, while Johnson likes to add any of the jams to ice cream.
“Biscuits, waffl es, ham, Boston butt ... the options are end-less,” Underwood said.
Cook it and can it
The canning process was a timely event in the beginning for Johnson and her mom.
“We would pick the fruit, come inside and wash it off, cut it, core it, mix it with other ingredi-ents, cook it and can it,” said Underwood. “It took us 8 hours to completely prepare and have ready to sale one batch of jelly.”
These days, the moth-er-daughter team have it down to a science.
“We have our recipes and know exactly what to do ... it doesn’t take us near as long now,” said Johnson.
Each batch of jams and jellies are tasted by some-one in the family before the batch is canned.
To help offset the cost of preparing the jams and jellies, Traci & Mom’s added salsa, relish and chow-chow to their can-ning options. On the bak-ing front, the team added brownies, cakes, gooey bars, breads, pound cakes and other mouthwater-ing items all prepared by hand.
“My favorite thing to make is the gooey bars,” said Johnson. “I like to eat them, too.”
Gooey bar fl avors in-clude plain, chocolate, lemon, pineapple, straw-berry, orange, coconut,
red velvet ... and by re-quest, apple.
Reduced sugar options in some of the more pop-ular fl avors were recently added, as well.
Crafting bug
The excitement of Traci & Mom’s success has in-fected the entire family.
Underwood’s daugh-ter Bailey is a crafter by heart.
“She is always got to be doing something, mak-ing something with her hands,” said the proud mother of the 8 year old. “She is very creative.”
This past Green Market season Bailey made and sold her own hair bows. “I sold 300 hair bows,” the Kossuth Elementary School second grader said.
Johnson said she want-ed her granddaughter to learn the importance of working for money. “Just like I taught her mama, she needs to know you can’t have everything for free,” she said.
Bailey says she loves helping her mother and grandmother can and bake in the kitchen.
Underwood’s 12-year-old son, Logan, has also been bitten by the crafting bug. He often makes lanterns out of recycled soup cans for sale at the Green Market.
Next course
So, what does the future of Traci & Mom’s Treats & Gifts hold?
A retail business maybe.“One day, I would love
to turn this hobby into a full time business with a store front,” Under-wood said, with a smile. “I love to cook and I love marketing, so run-ning my own business would be perfect ... as long as my family didn’t mind working for me.”

Helping others is a pas-sion for Lanell Coln.
She has spent most of her life putting smiles on the faces of others.
The popular commu-nity volunteer is now the one in need of support af-ter being diagnosed with Adenocarinoma, a type of cancer that forms in mucus-secreting glands throughout the body.
“She got really sick before Christmas,” said longtime friend and Ar-by’s Manager Linda Pace. “Lanell was in the hospi-tal before and after the holidays.”
Currently, Coln is at home gaining strength to have a surgery at the UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Ala. The surgery – called the “Whipple Procedure” – is set for Monday and will remove part of her pancreas, lower stomach and small intestine. The type of treatment needed won’t be known until the
surgery is complete.“Lanell has been such
a giver, a person always ready to give a helping hand in our community … she takes the initiative to make a difference,” said Callie Emmons, part of a group organizing a fund-raiser for Coln. “Now is a time we can give back
during her time of need.”A group of around 15
co-workers and friends are in the process of form-ing fundraisers to help the community volunteer. A large benefi t has been tentatively set for March 8 to help the Legacy Hos-pice Volunteer Coordina-tor. The March event is
slated to have barbecue plates for sale along with several of the local bands who perform at “Pickin’ on the Square” possibly performing. A Poker Run, Rally Ride, Cruise In and several raffl ed items have also been discussed as possible fundraisers.
“A location for the event
hasn’t been locked down as of yet, but the times and dates will be announced when a decision is made,” added Emmons.
Those wanting to make a donation now can do us by going to BancorpSouth and making a contribu-tion in the name of Bren-da Lanell Coln. Checks, made out to Brenda Lanell Coln, can also be sent to: Peggy Holder, 263 CR 218, Corinth, Ms. 38834. The checks will then be deposited into the account for Coln.
“Our main focus is get-ting money generated ASAP to help with her needs,” said Emmons.
Coln is involved with such events as a Blue Grass Festival, Relay for Life, Bingo at Arby’s and United Blood Ser-vices Drives. She also helped raise funds for the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter along with being part of the Civitan Club functions, Summit Coor-dinator of Modern Wood-
men of America and BNI. Coln is a member and youth leader at Acton Church of Christ, Sharing Hearts Program Director and volunteer coordina-tor at Legacy Hospice.
“Lanell is totally in-volved in everything,” said Pace. “She cares about people … the coun-ty owes her a lot.”
Emmons spoke to her friend earlier this week.
“She is very grateful and thankful for the many prayers, texts, calls, cards, and donations that have already been made on her behalf,” said Emmons. “Lanell has a strong faith in God and knows this is just a bump in the road.”
Businesses who would like to donate for a raf-fl e or silent auction can contact Pace at Arby’s or Vicky McLemore at Leg-acy Hospice at 286-5333. If any business would like to put a jar/container at their cash register, to get donations, this would be appreciated.

Today in
history
Today is Sunday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 2014. There are 346 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 19, 1807, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was born in West-moreland County, Va.
On this date:
In 1764, John Wil-kes was expelled from the British Parliament for seditious libel and obscenity (the former charge was for criticiz-ing a speech delivered by King George III; the latter, for penning a por-nographic parody of Al-exander Pope’s “Essay on Man”). In 1853, Giuseppe Ver-di’s opera “Il Trovatore” premiered in Rome. In 1861, Georgia be-came the fifth state to secede from the Union. In 1944, the federal government relinquished control of the nation’s railroads to their owners following settlement of a wage dispute. In 1955, a presiden-tial news conference was filmed for television for the first time, with the permission of Presi-dent Dwight D. Eisen-hower. In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon nomi-nated G. Harrold Car-swell to the Supreme Court; however, the nomination was de-feated because of con-troversy over Carswell’s past racial views. In 1977, in one of his last acts of office, President Gerald R. Ford pardoned Iva Toguri D’Aquino, an American convicted of treason for making wartime broad-casts for Japan. In 1992, German government and Jewish officials dedicated a Ho-locaust memorial at the villa on the outskirts of Berlin where the notori-ous Wannsee Confer-ence had taken place.
Ten years ago: A freight-er capsized near the western Norwegian port of Bergen, killing 18.
Five years ago: Russia and Ukraine signed a deal restoring natu-ral gas shipments to Ukraine and paving the way for an end to the nearly two-week cutoff of most Russian gas to a freezing Europe.
“There is nothing I love to do more than talk about our museum.”
She will have about 25 minutes to pres-ent an overview of the depot museum and its holdings. Steen said she is planning a visual presentation that may incorporate the virtual tour available on the museum’s website.
Other museums se-lected for the event are the Amory Regional Museum, the Lawrence County Civic Center & History Museum and the DeSoto County Museum. The session with the mu-
seum presentations is set for 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 8.
Each annual meeting includes distinguished speakers, tours of historic sites and special events.
The historical society dates back to 1858. It aims to educate the pub-lic about matters of his-tory through programs, books, maps, brochures and websites. It provides annual grants to support programs of the Junior Historical Society, which has chapters in schools across the state.
Dues-paying members receive the quarterly “Journal of Mississippi History.”
The tourism tax gener-ated $81,117.23, slipping 2.8 percent, or about $2,300. The 2 percent tax on prepared food and lodging in the city is up about half of a percent-age point for the fi scal year with a cumulative total of $343,297.06.
Other sales tax results from the region for the latest reported month (percentages rounded):
• Booneville — $153,380.28 (+4%)
• Burnsville — $13,564.22 (+12%)
• Farmington — $3,306.73 (-43%)
• Glen — $1,570.84 (-7%)
• Iuka — $65,517.10 (+5%)
• Kossuth — $3,291.71 (-11%)
• Rienzi — $3,866 (+48%)
• Ripley — $108,873.37 (+8%)

“When I took over for Bro. Rocky (Tzib), I preached to only my wife and two more adults the fi rst three or four times,” said Hernandez. “The Lord provided though … it would be impossible without His hand.”
Fountain of Life has grown from only a few to over a 100 the last two months with a high of 137 the previous Sunday.
“They have a heart for reaching people,” said Oakland Baptist Church Associate Pastor Dyer Harbor. “The thing I like about them is the folks who came here have gone back home and started churches.”
Oakland saw a need for a Spanish Church over 10 years ago.
“We knew there were a lot of Spanish people in our area who weren’t going to church,” added Harbor.
Harbor said OBC found out about a Spanish min-istry in Pontotoc then ran the idea past the Alcorn Baptist Association.
The Mississippi Baptist Association and the local association committed a certain amount of money to the start of the church with Oakland serving as the lead church in the
formation.“We knew we had to
start with small Bible stud-ies and couldn’t just put a sign out there that said (church),” said Harbor.
Fountain of Life goers began meeting in the old youth room of Oakland on Sundays.
“They would come in a hour behind us on Sun-day and have their Sun-day School, and when our service ended, they would have their worship service,” said the Oakland pastor.
It took only a short time for Fountain of Life to be self-sustaining.
“Five years later, the church is totally on their own,” added Harbor. “They have their own fi -nance guys, deacons and everything.”
Since its start, Fountain of Life has seen over 300 saved.
“The church has grown with Mario over the years,” said Harbor. “Bro. Rocky trusted him and thought he was ready to be his Timothy.”
Hernandez wasn’t so sure he was ready at the time.
“I was scared because of the responsibility,” say the pastor, married to Silvia and father of Kevin, Justin and Cathy. “I wondered if I was the right person.”
It would take praying with Silvia to see the Lord would be his help.
“The Lord just put on my heart to lead,” he said.
“Mario is very gracious and a good pastor,” add-ed Harbor. “He does so much more outside the church.”
The fi rst service in the new building, which is lo-cated next to the old Sim-mons Furniture building at 3572 County Road 100 – Kendrick Road – was held on Thursday. Sun-day School is held each Sunday at 10 a.m. with worship following at 11. Thursday night services begin at 7 p.m.
“I am excited,” said the Hernandez, who is origi-nally from El Salvador. “Through this experience my faith has grown.”
The block building has been completely remod-eled into six Sunday School rooms and a sanctuary.
“That place is going to be a good spot for them,” said Harbor. “We have had a good relationship with the people and they are so excited to be in their own building.”
Hernandez agrees with Harbor.
“The Lord has provided the right people to make things work,” said the Fountain of Life preacher. “It has taken everyone.”

SHEFFIELD, Ala. — The University of North Alabama Department of Music and Theatre will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) with a choral concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.
The UNA choruses will be joined for the off-campus concert by a spe-
cial guest group, UNA’s Ascending Voices, at Grace Episcopal Church, 103 Darby Ave., Sheffi eld. Karen Cantrell, John Moore, Jeremiah Moore and Jeremy Calloway will provide accompaniment.
The musical tribute takes place a day after the national holiday that commemorates the life and achievements of the
slain civil-rights leader.“This is going to be a
fantastic concert celebrat-ing the dream, the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” said Carole Maynard, UNA’s coordinator of mu-sic and theatre events.
Dr. Ian Loeppky, an as-sociate professor of music and UNA’s director of cho-ral activities, will conduct the performance along
with Je’Licia Dickerson. Selections cover a range of musical styles, includ-ing spiritual and gospel music.
“(These styles) would be standard fare for any Martin Luther King Jr. concert, as they’re the two most important genres for African-American mu-sic,” Loeppky said. “The concert is a celebration
of his life in music, with readings as well. It will be a wonderful concert.”
Tickets will be sold at the door. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for stu-dents, senior adults and veterans.
For more information, contact the UNA Depart-ment of Music and Theatre at 256-765-5122 or visit una.edu/music-theatre.

As we anticipated, the primary issue on most Legislators’ minds during the fi rst few days of the 2014 Legislative session has been public education. It is encouraging to hear broad-based support for raising the base pay of our classroom teachers.
Sadly, some of our teachers are qualifying for government assistance because their pay has remained the same for seven years. We all know that the cost of groceries, utilities, fuel, clothing and all other living expenses have increased dramatically over the past seven years. We should not expect our teach-ers to absorb these rising costs of living with no help.
Speaker of the House Philip Gunn is among those who are supporting the idea of bringing our professional educators’ salaries in line with those in surrounding areas. It is a matter of record that Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama pay their teachers much more than we do and that our Mississippi educa-tors are driving across state lines in order to make reasonable salaries.
I fully support across-the-board pay raises for our teachers in 2014, and I voted in favor of this issue during the 2013 session.
Also important to teachers are the propos-als being discussed about making sure fund-ing is available for classroom supplies and materials. I am in favor of assuring that our teachers are not expected to pay for neces-sary supplies from their own pockets.
I am a strong supporter of fully funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. This program was made into law in 1999, and it has been fully funded only twice since then. We cannot expect our public schools to thrive in an underfunded environment. Without full funding of MAEP, necessary costs of the schools are passed down to local taxpayers to make up the difference. This is not accept-able.
I believe it is important that we examine our state expenditures to make sure that money is going to important programs that work. Efforts are underway at the Capitol to try to regain our fi nancial footing by looking to curb unnecessary spending. While I sup-port living within our means, I will certainly do my part to make sure that vital services such as public safety, education and mental health services are not underfunded.
I am pleased that we passed House Bill 48, the Youth Concussion Act, within the fi rst four days of the session. This measure will go a long way to make sure that our student ath-letes receive the precaution and care neces-sary to protect themselves from long-term ef-fects of head injuries. The recent revelations about professional athletes’ suffering from earlier head trauma has spiked an interest in protecting our youth. I was proud to vote for this measure.
I spoke at the Capitol Prayer Group on Tuesday, sharing with my colleagues about my experiences on a fall mission to India with Oakland Baptist Church. For those of us in positions to make a difference in Missis-sippi, the opportunity to fellowship like this is a way that we can keep ourselves ground-ed. I was honored to share what the Lord ac-complished in India during my time there.
I was proud to welcome Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin, Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry, Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams, Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell, Chancery Clerk Bobby Marolt and Supervisors Lowell Hinton and Jimmy Tate Waldon to the Capitol dur-ing the fi rst week of the session. It is a plea-sure to show my local friends and neighbors around the Capitol. Please let me know if you are planning a trip to Jackson, so I can intro-duce you. On that note, there will be a teacher pay raise rally on Monday, January 20, at 2 p.m. at the Capitol. Please let me know if you intend to participate. I will be there.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please call me at 662-287-1620, email [email protected], message me on FaceBook at Nicholas Ryan Bain or follow me on Twitter @StaterepBain2.

A verse to share
The rhetoric from the United Auto Workers and their hired or rented guns that seeks to equate union organizing efforts at Nis-san’s Canton plant with the civil rights struggle in Mis-sissippi in the 1950s and 1960s truly strains credu-lity.
The line being peddled is that both Mississippi-ans and the wider world should equate civil rights with the UAW’s desire for a union vote at the Nis-san plant in Canton. The struggle for “civil rights” sounds far more noble and desirable than what is actu-ally happening in Canton and across the landscape of foreign-owned automobile manufacturing plants in the South – which is nothing more or less than a desper-ate struggle for survival by a union that has endured a 75 percent membership de-cline since 1979.
With Detroit now a bank-rupt remnant of the Golden Age of American automobile manufacturing, the UAW now must literally fi nd a new host on which to feed. The right-to-work states in the South are the prime tar-gets and the foreign-owned manufacturers that helped build “Detroit South” are truly the only possible sal-vation of the weakened
UAW.In Can-
ton, in Chat-t a n o o g a , T e n n . ’ s Volkswagen plant and in Vance, Ala.’s M e r c e d e s plant, the UAW con-
tinues to nibble around the edges of unionization by pushing card check instant organizing schemes. And in the South – and perhaps in no state more than Missis-sippi – the UAW and their sycophants seek to cloak that unionization effort in the South’s sorry history on civil rights.
Politically, it’s both a con-venient and powerful nar-rative that has absolutely nothing to do with any ac-tual civil rights shortcom-ings by the targeted com-panies. The hope is that these global companies will simply buckle under the false claims of civil rights violations and capitulate to the unions – creating high-er membership numbers and bolstering the revenue stream of the UAW. That would also enable UAW’s bosses to continue to sweet-en the campaign coffers of congressional Democrats who take their generous do-nations.
According to the Federal Election Commission, the UAW has given more than $50.7 million to Democrats while giving $1.7 million to GOP candidates. The UAW also gave out another $7.2 in “soft” money.
The stakes in the South and particularly in Missis-sippi are high for the UAW’s president, Bob King. “Bob King has basically staked his legacy on organizing these international assem-bly plants,” Kristin Dziczek, director of the labor and in-dustry group at the Center for Automotive Research, recently told the Detroit Free Press. “Unless they unionize more of the au-tomotive work force in the country, the UAW workers will become wage takers, not wage setters in this in-dustry.”
While using the rhetoric of the late Dr. Martin Lu-ther King, the pro-union voices in the Mississippi political establishment are in truth carrying Bob King’s water. The pro-union forces aligned with the UAW – in-cluding Mississippi NAACP leaders Derrick Johnson, a handful of Canton-area African-American min-isters, and let us not for-get that great Mississippi leader actor Danny Glover – get plenty of recogni-
tion in a national media that embraces the false and misleading narrative that Mississippi’s right-to-work laws represent civil rights violations.
But what about reputable prominent Mississippi Afri-can-American leaders like former Mission Mississippi chairman Dolphus Weary and others in the Move Mississippi Forward group who oppose unionization as an impediment to good jobs and economic growth in Mississippi? Readers can learn more about that group at movemississippiforward.com
The bottom line is that the UAW is a union in decline that must infi ltrate South-ern auto plants to survive. They want to take from the success of these industries to perpetuate their own or-ganizations. And they want to do so in the name of the nobility of civil rights.
Since Nissan came to Canton (and remem-ber Canton’s pre-Nissan economy?), some 16,000 Mississippians have good, high-paying jobs. The UAW doesn’t want to build on that, they want to leech from it to replenish their own dying business model.

UAW’s desperate survival tactics aren’t remotely about civil rights
If you don’t know who “they” are, you haven’t been watching the news or read-ing the papers.
Usually, it takes winning the GOP presidential nomi-nation for a Republican me-dia darling to experience such an onslaught of glee-fully negative press cover-age. John McCain was the straight-talking maverick right up until the moment he effectively clinched the nomination in 2008 -- im-mediately triggering a thin-ly sourced New York Times report insinuating an affair with a lobbyist.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has gotten his dis-illusioning out of the way early, if he needed it. An oc-cupational hazard of a cer-tain kind of Republican is wanting to be loved by the wrong people. If the past week hasn’t cured Christie of that tendency, nothing will.
This is not to say that “Bridgegate” is, to use the left’s favorite term for any Obama-administration scandal, “a faux scandal.” The abuse of power it in-volves is genuinely outra-geous and, since Christie is a prominent potential presidential candidate, one that legitimately deserves national attention. But it
isn’t Water-gate or the Lewinsky af-fair. Christie is governor, not presi-dent, of New Jersey.
At least the episode has given MSN-BC a second purpose in
its broadcast life. In addi-tion to calling people racist, it now exists to obsess over Bridgegate.
Chris Hayes had an hour-long 11 p.m. special the other night. Perhaps Bridgegate, just as the Iran hostage cri-sis spawned the late-night news show “Nightline,” will spin off a new late-night MSNBC program devoted to investing inordinate emotional and intellectual energy in traffi c-related po-litical scandals.
In their Bridgegate analy-sis, Rachel Maddow and her fellow MSNBC-er Steve Ko-rnacki have concluded that Christie aides may have sought to bring a $1 billion development abutting the George Washington Bridge to a halt with a couple of rows of traffi c cones. Hey, stranger things have hap-pened, and we still don’t know the exact motivation
behind the bogus traffi c study. But so far, Maddow and Kornacki have failed to meet the most basic eviden-tiary standard of, you know, marshaling some evidence. They could just as easily speculate that Team Chris-tie hoped to poison the en-tire population of Fort Lee with the fumes of idling cars.
In a similarly breathless spirit, pundits have been declaring Christie’s presi-dential hopes over. They are following the lead of the New York Daily News, which judiciously declared “Fat Chance Now, Chris.”
Bridgegate inarguably hurts Christie. It blunts the momentum from his crush-ing re-election victory. It opens him up to intense investigative scrutiny. It makes his political persona problematic -- it will now be harder for him to strike back against hecklers in classic Christie style with-out validating the “bully” charge.
But over? Assuming Christie isn’t exposed as a liar, that’s silly. If the Fort Lee caucuses were a key event in the Republican nomination fi ght and took place next month, the gover-nor might have an insuper-able problem. Fortunately
for Christie, Manchester, N.H., is a couple of hundred miles away, and the First in the Nation primary won’t be held for two years.
The idea that Christie is over depends on people car-ing about the scandal more rather than less over time, and core Republican vot-ers nationally caring more about it than random people in New Jersey.
The new Quinnipiac poll of New Jersey voters shows Christie getting one of his lowest “bully” scores since the public-opinion outfi t started asking the question about him in 2010. By 54-40, more people consider him a leader than think him a bully. Although the governor’s approval rating is down to 55 percent from 68 percent last July, 67 per-cent think he can work with Democrats in the Legisla-ture, and 55 percent believe he cares about ordinary people.
These aren’t the ratings of a dead man walking. But that’s not going to stop some of Christie’s erstwhile friends from merrily bury-ing him alive and dancing a jig on his premature grave.

“And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” Exodus 33:14
Lord God, I pray that if I have struggled for the wrong, and have worked with weak hands, thou wilt forgive me for my lost strength. Give me more light to shine upon my work, upon thy promises, and upon my duties; and with thy wisdom may I search for the truth that is behind every wrong, and for the purpose that is beyond all journeyings. Amen.

Conviction appealedin sheriff’s death
JACKSON — Christo-pher Lee Baxter is ap-pealing his conviction in the 2010 death of George County Sheriff Garry Welford, citing what he claims was an involuntary confession and a lack of evidence that he was driving the truck that struck and killed Welford.
Lawyers for Baxter, 28, will present his argu-ment to the State Court of Appeals on Jan. 28 in Jackson.
The case is among dozens the Appeals Court will consider dur-ing its July-August term. A decision is expected later this year.
Baxter and his girl-friend, Brandy Nicole Wil-liams, were convicted in 2012 of capital murder. Each was sentenced to life without parole.
Welford was struck by a pickup truck in which Williams and Baxter were fleeing from authorities on July 21, 2010. Baxter was sought on an arrest warrant issued after he missed a sentencing date for drug convictions.
Welford, 62, was run over while putting spikes at the intersection of Bexley and Howard roads near the Alabama line to stop Baxter’s truck and end a high-speed chase.
After an all-night search, Baxter and Wil-liams were captured the next morning at a mobile home about six miles north of the scene.
Over defense objec-tions, the trial judge ruled that after his ar-rest, Baxter understood his rights to remain silent and to counsel, or Miranda rights, and vol-untarily gave statements to police. The judge ruled the statements could be used at trial.
In briefs filed with the Appeals Court, defense attorneys argue Baxter never knowingly gave up his rights.
“To the contrary, the record shows that Mr. Baxter was intellectually disabled, illiterate, brain damaged, intoxicated, sleep deprived ... and had been electroshocked by a Taser and punched just hours prior to the questioning.
Tippah schools hopeto hire more security
RIPLEY — South Tip-pah School District is applying for a grant of $10,000 to help pay the salary of a full-time school resource officer, who would divide his time between Blue Mountain and Pine Grove schools.
The school district and
Tippah County Sheriff Karl Gaillard will split the salary of a deputy who would be designated as the resource officer. The grant funds would be ap-plied toward the district’s portion of the salary.
The Northeast Mis-sissippi Daily Journal reports that the grant is available from the Mis-sissippi Department of Education.
Presently, one Ripley police officer is assigned to the Ripley High School and Middle School cam-puses, which adjoin.
Schools Superinten-dent Frank Campbell says he expects to learn in February if the grant has been approved.
Campbell says the school resource officer would spend half the day at Pine Grove School and the other half of the day at Blue Mountain School. The two rural schools have a combined student population of 986.
“Pine Grove and Blue Mountain schools have both put several mea-sures in place to ensure a safe school environ-ment. An SRO would provide an added ele-ment of safety to each of these schools,” he said.
Petal woman killedby train in Biloxi
BILOXI, Miss. — Au-thorities say a 22-year-ld Petal woman has died after being struck by a train in Biloxi.
Harrison County Depu-ty Coroner Charles Wise tells the Sun Herald that Alishia Michelle Newman was crossing the railroad tracks Friday night when she was hit.
Wise says Newman, who was recently mar-ried, was in town visiting friends and was heading south across the train tracks to get something to eat at the time of the accident.
Wave of vehiclebreak-ins hits county
BROOKHAVEN — Au-thorities say a wave of vehicle burglaries ap-pears to be intensifying in Lincoln County.
Brookhaven police and Lincoln County sheriff’s deputies tell The Daily Leader that the burglar-ies began Jan. 11 in the Zetus and Hilltop com-munities.
Initial reports included vehicle break-ins and mailbox vandalism in the area of Lucky Lane, Truly Trail, Lonesome Pine Trail and Oilfield Lane.
Since then, vehicle burglaries have been reported in other ar-eas, including on South Jackson Street, South Church Street, Morning-side Drive, Kraner Lane
and Loyd Star Lane.Sheriff Steve Rushing
says it appears the sus-pects are going from ve-hicle to vehicle, looking for unlocked doors and taking whatever is inside.
Earlier this week, Brookhaven police re-sponded to reports that more vehicles had been burglarized.
Investigators say the incidents are similar to earlier break-ins on South Jackson and South Church streets.
Rushing said informa-tion gathered in the Brookhaven investigation is aiding sheriff’s depu-ties in their investigation, but no suspects had yet been arrested.
“My investigators have been following up on some promising leads,” Rushing.
Search for police chief on hold
GREENWOOD (AP) — Mayor Carolyn McAdams said the search for a new police chief for Greenwood will have to wait until she completes a review of the city’s personnel policy barring employment of city po-lice officers by other law-enforcement agencies.
The Greenwood Com-monwealth reported that city policy bars officers from being employed by other jurisdictions that have police powers. The policy came to the fore-front when the mayor de-railed the nomination of Rob Banks for the police chief’s job.
Banks, 35, is a Carroll County constable and a criminal and narcot-ics investigator with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department.
Banks says if he got the job as Greenwood’s police chief, he would resign from the Sheriff’s Department but would continue to serve as constable, an elected position, until his term expires in 2015.
Initially, both McAd-ams and City Attorney Don Brock maintained that constables do not have police powers and so Banks, under Green-wood’s policy, could hold both jobs.
That position however, was refuted by Banks during a Jan. 7 meeting of the City Council.
Banks said constables do have the power to write tickets and make arrests.
That led the council to postpone indefinitely a vote on his nomination as police chief.
McAdams said that while Banks’ name is “still on the table” as a contender for police chief, she hasn’t talked to him about it.

Mayor: Christie withheld grants
TRENTON, N.J. — The Christie administra-tion withheld millions of dollars in Superstorm Sandy recovery grants from a New Jersey city because its mayor re-fused to sign off on a politically connected commercial develop-ment, the mayor said Saturday.
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer alleged that Gov. Chris Christie’s lieutenant governor and a top community devel-opment official told her recovery funds would flow to her city if she allowed the project to move forward.
Zimmer said Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno pulled her aside at an event in May and told her Sandy aid was tied to the proj-ect — a proposal from the New York City-based Rockefeller Group aimed at prime real estate in the densely populated city across the river from New York City.
“I was directly told the by the lieutenant gover-nor — she made it very clear — that the Rock-efeller project needed to move forward or they wouldn’t be able to help me,” Zimmer told The Associated Press.
“There is no way I could ethically do what the governor, through the lieutenant governor, is asking me to do.”
Christie’s office de-nied Zimmer’s claims. Spokesman Colin Reed said the administration has been helping Hobo-ken secure assistance since Sandy struck.
Christie is already embroiled in another scandal involving traf-fic jams apparently manufactured to settle a political score. And Zimmer said Guadagno and Community Affairs Commissioner Richard Constable, a member of Christie’s cabinet, both delivered messages about Sandy aid in no uncertain terms.
Zimmer, who first spoke with MSNBC on Saturday, told the cable network that at another event in May Constable said “the money would start flowing to you” if she backed the project.
Borgata ends fakechip poker match
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Saying they have confirmed that one or more people used “a significant number of counterfeit chips” at an Atlantic City poker tour-nament, state casino regulators on Saturday canceled the tainted match and ordered all
prize money frozen until an investigation is com-plete.
The New Jersey Divi-sion of Gaming Enforce-ment canceled the first event of the Borgata Winter Poker Open. It had suspended the game Friday after suspi-cions about the use of fake chips arose.
No charges have been filed in the case.
“Thus far, investiga-tors have found that one or more tournament entrants improperly introduced a significant number of counterfeit chips into the tourna-ment, gaining an unfair advantage and compro-mising the integrity of play for the event,” Tom Ballance, the Borgata’s president and chief operating officer said Saturday.
“It is extremely unfor-tunate that the crimi-nal actions of these individuals can have a detrimental impact on more than 4,000 other entrants,” he said. “We fully understand and regret the disappoint-ment this cancellation causes our valued customers, and we will work diligently with DGE investigators to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. The integ-rity of our games and the confidence of our players is of the utmost importance to us.”
Ballance said the Borgata has thoroughly examined its remaining stock of chips, which were cleared by inves-tigators for use in doz-ens of other events in the poker tournament, which will be played as scheduled.
Nut farmers fight theft in California
ESCALON, Calif. — The soaring value of California’s nut crops is attracting a new breed of thieves who have been making off with the pricey commodities by the truckload, recall-ing images of cattle rus-tlers of bygone days.
This harvest season in the Central Valley, thieves cut through a fence and hauled off $400,000 in walnuts. Another $100,000 in almonds was stolen by a driver with a fake license. And $100,000 in pistachios was taken by a big rig driver who left a farm without fill-ing out any paperwork.
Investigators suspect low-level organized crime may have a hand in cases, while some pilfered nuts are ending up in Los Angeles for re-sale at farmers markets or disappear into the black market.
Domestic demand for
specialty foods and an expanding Asian market for them have prompted a nut orchard boom in the state’s agricultural heartland. Such heists have become so com-mon that an industry taskforce recently formed to devise ways to thwart thieves.
“The Wild West is alive and well in certain aspects,” said Danielle Oliver of the California Farm Bureau. “There’s always someone out there trying to make a quick dollar on some-body else’s hard work.”
Tightened voting requirements denied
WICHITA, Kan. — The U.S. Election As-sistance Commission found Friday that height-ened proof-of-citizen-ship requirements likely would hinder eligible citizens from voting in federal elections, hand-ing down a ruling that denied requests from Kansas, Arizona and Georgia to modify the registration form for their residents.
The decision came just hours before a court-imposed deadline in a lawsuit filed in fed-eral court by Kansas and Arizona that seeks to force the commission to modify state-specific requirements for regis-tering to vote in those states. Georgia, which has a similar voter reg-istration law, is not part of the litigation but was included in the commis-sion’s decision.
Those states have enacted laws requiring new voters to provide a birth certificate, pass-port or other proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. Peo-ple who register using the federal form only need to sign a state-ment, under penalty of perjury, that he or she is a U.S. citizen.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has championed his state’s proof-of-citizenship law to keep non-citizens from voting, particularly those in the U.S. illegal-ly. But critics say voter fraud is extremely rare and contend such laws suppress the vote and threaten to keep thou-sands of citizens from casting ballots.
Kobach said in an email that he had an-ticipated the adverse ruling from the commis-sion and the states will now press their consti-tutional claims before the U.S. District Court in Kansas. He argues the decision is uncon-stitutional because it prevents Kansas and Arizona from securing their voter rolls.

Lone Survivor, R, *****, Mark Walhberg, Taylor Kitsch. Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster. Di-rector Peter Berg. Uni-versal fi lm. Length: 122 minutes.
The song War which was recorded by the Temptations and later by Edwin Starr was written by Norman Whitfi eld and Barrett Strong in 1969 opposing the Vietnam War.
I visited the Vietnam War Memorial on two oc-casions. It honors the sol-diers who lost their lives there. It is heartbreaking, as well as, an honorable dedication to the brave soldiers who gave their lives for America. The journey walking next to the Vietnam War Memo-rial pulls at our heart-
strings and memories.
War is h o r r i b l e . Sometimes it is neces-sary. The scary part is that I cannot re-m e m b e r the U.S. winning a war since World War II.
I included the above information because “Lone Warrior” captures the horrors of war. It is a story about the war in the Middle East. The audience was attentive throughout the 122 min-utes, as well as the pic-tures shown at the end of the real warriors who sacrifi ced their lives. It is defi nitely a very bru-tal fi lm, as well as heart-
breaking.However, it is a story
that needed to be told. It seems we do not take the duties of our armed ser-vices as we should. They deserve all of our prayers and support. I salute and honor all who have been in the armed services, and those who are there now and will be there in the future.
“Lone Warrior” is a true story about Seal Team 10. It is based on “Operation Red Wings”. Marcus Luttrell was the only survivor of the Seal Team who fought in “Op-eration Red Wings.” This is as much as possible a realistic look at the hor-rors and pain of war. Marcus Luttrell wrote the book and advised the fi lm makers while creat-ing the fi lm.
The fi lm grabs the au-dience from the very be-ginning as the Seal Team wait for their orders. Knowing what we are about to witness cuts into our hearts and souls.
“Lone Survivor” gives the audience a close up look at the horrible re-sults of what our soldiers go through. The fi nal words of the Seals that do not survive will break the hearts of the audience.
Again, the fi lm is dif-fi cult to watch at times. A decision is made by the commander, Mar-cus Luttrell (Mark Wal-hberg), which according to the dialogue was the decision that he was sup-posed to make, and it is understandable.
Help from some vil-lagers is heart warming, because they know the
Americans are there to help the situation. The choice made earlier in the fi lm was something the villagers will never forget. There is specula-tion on the Internet as to the decision, but I believe in the commanders or-ders of the Nave Seals.
Decisions in war are very diffi cult, but war is harsh and diffi cult. Reg-ular everyday life is not easy at times. However, many times our everyday choices do not compare with the actions we civil-ians have to make each day.
No matter what our problems and issues are, we should be very proud we live in and are a part of America and democ-racy.
I recommend the fi lm with the understanding it
is very ruthless and based on a true heartbreaking story. The theater was packed and everyone in there had their eyes glued to the screen and their ears to the dialogue.
I thank and appreci-ate all who wear the uni-forms of the American services.

BY CAROL HUMPHREYSColumnist
While creating my web-site recently, I noticed a space I needed to fi ll on the top right hand side of the home page. It was the perfect spot to put a white rabbit.
I knew the white rab-bit had been represented many times in literature, movies, music and even on TV, but I was deter-mined to have my own white rabbit. I had, in fact, already written sev-eral columns in the past mentioning white rabbits.
I searched and found the image I wanted for my web page. It showed a white rabbit from be-hind as he sat among tall blades of grass. He looks upwards into the wide blue yonder. It was per-fect.
My family actually had a pet white rabbit. His name was “Mr. Fluffers.”
There wasn’t anything special about him. His breed – “New Zealand,” I think - was the fi rst breed to be introduced to America and as common as apple pie. There are a bazillion of them.
Unfortunately, this
breed also became the most common to be used in lab tests or as a meat source.
So I’d say when my husband Randy brought a baby rabbit (or “kit”) home from a local farm supply store as a birthday gift to our daughter Jes-sica, the new pet was a lucky rabbit indeed.
His appearance could be startling at fi rst. He was an albino which makes his kind extra vul-nerable in the wild. And due to an illness early in his life, Fluffers was also blind in one eye and had a poor sense of balance.
As far as any special tal-ents -- I would dare any magician to try to pull this rabbit out of a hat. First of all, he’d have a hard time stuffi ng all of Mr. Fluffers’ 10 pounds into a top hat. Then he’d end up pulling out a very furious, indig-nant rabbit.
Fluffers’ pure white fur, ruby eyes and long pink ears may have resembled Alice’s famous white rab-bit, but you’d have a hard time getting him to scurry. Though a very rambunc-tious youngster, Fluffers now took his own sweet
time in doing anything. If you tried to hurry him up, all you’d get would be ir-ritated grunts.
He wasn’t as cuddly or cute as other breeds of rabbits but I thought he was quite beautiful. He absolutely loved being rubbed around his ears and under his bearded chin. He also liked it when I gently grabbed his paw and shook it, calling it my “lucky rabbit’s foot.”
House-trained as a baby, Fluffers spent the recent holidays inside. He had suffered a serious, al-most fatal ailment in late summer. Despite having a nice long hutch outside, he was brought inside for what turned out to be a long recuperation.
He became a fi xture in my home, stretched out full length on the fl oor, his long pink ears attuned to the myriad of every day sounds and goings-on.
When I was alone at home cleaning up or in the kitchen cooking, Fluff-ers was a constant com-panion. I’d glance over to where he was laying and strike up a one-sided conversation, sometimes singing a little ditty I’d
made up for him. His ear would instantly stand up in listening mode, alert to my every move. If I kept talking, he’d hop over to me so I could reach down and gently pull at his ears or reach my fi ngers into his soft, silky fur for a quick massage.
The little “piglet” would then circle my feet de-manding food. So I would go to the fridge and pull him out some baby car-rots, crispy celery or his favorite – vibrant green cilantro or parsley. As soon as I laid the snacks down, he attacked the food as if he hadn’t eaten for days.
Yes, I know rabbits are not known for their per-sonalities or intelligence. My white rabbit had none of the conversational ca-pabilities of Alice’s rabbit. Instead, he looked at me sometimes as if he won-dered about my conver-sational and intellectual capabilities.
But somehow, the fl uffy little creature had crept into my heart.
Maybe, it was seeing the devotion Jessica took in caring for him, espe-cially when he was sick.
Or watching him allow my daughter Anna cuddle him like a baby though he hated being picked up.
For a rabbit who pre-tended to be hard of hear-ing, his hearing suddenly improved when Randy was nearby. Randy would pat his hand against his chair to get the rabbit’s attention and Fluffers eagerly bounced over so Randy could stroke his ears.
And every day, whether Fluffers was inside or out, my son Conner would make sure he had been fed and clean up after him.
Still, all in all, Fluffers was just an ordinary rab-bit.
The evening I put the white rabbit on my web-site, Fluffers was in his usual spot, all stretched out, listening as the house quieten down for the night. He appeared fi ne.
Mid-morning the next day, Anna, who was still on her Christmas break from college, noticed something wrong with the rabbit. Other than his labored breathing, our pet laid motionless and would not respond to
anything.Despite it being Sun-
day, Jessica and I were able to get the very sick rabbit to the veterinar-ian. After treating the still laboring animal, the concern on his face spoke volumes.
Within an hour after leaving the vet’s, Fluff-ers died. I attempted to console my grieving daughters with the only thoughts that gave me comfort. God had blessed us with this ordinary little creature who loved us and who we loved in return.
It’s amazing to me, the grief I feel at losing him.
Fluffers was just a sweet little creature who enriched my life in the fi ve years he was here. He showed me once again even the most common of God’s creatures have ex-traordinary value.
Now the little white rabbit on my web page will be my inspiration.
I knew there was a rea-son I wanted him there.

How an ordinary rabbit became extraordinary
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
Is reality absolute? Does everyone share the same reality? Or does each person have their own unique reality. When two or more people ex-perience the exact same event, will they all react the same way or does each person have their own specifi c assessment as to what happened?
Let’s look at some sim-ple examples. You walk into a room that’s 65 de-grees. Is the room warm or cold? If you had been outside in sub zero tem-perature, the room would feel very warm. If you had just come inside after be-ing in a 98 degree heat wave, you would think the
room tem-p e r a t u r e was cool.
H o w much mon-ey does it take to be well paid? W h e n s o m e o n e who is used to mak-ing $7 an hour gets a promotion and starts making $18 an hour, it may feel as if they have just won the lottery. However, to a person who was laid off from a job making $50 an hour and then has to take a job making $18 an hour, their fi nancial world has col-lapsed.
So your expectations affect your reality. When your expectations are met or exceeded you ex-
perience positive real-ity. However when your expectations are missed, your reality is negative.
Your expectations are based on your experienc-es. Bad experiences tend to lower expectations whereas good experienc-es lead to higher expecta-tions. You become con-ditioned to expect what you are used to. However, if your experiences have been negative, you can and should have expecta-tions that exceed your ex-periences.
Low expectations limit your reality and become a self-fulfi lling prophecy. When you don’t expect much, or are convinced that something is not possible, your brain will not exceed your expecta-tions.
Comparisons with oth-
ers also determines your reality. This is the essence of, “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” When you believe a better situation exists somewhere else, you think less of your own circumstances regardless of how good they may be. This is why those who are never satisfi ed don’t ap-preciate what they have.
Your adjust real-ity when you are trying to avoid criticism. In this case, instead of your re-ality being aligned with your beliefs, you make ac-commodations in order to escape disapproval. This results in your reality be-ing aligned with someone else’s.
Going along with the crowd or following fads are situations where your reality is adjusted to cor-
respond to the prevailing group think. Frustration ultimately ensues when you change your reality to conform to outside infl u-ences.
Optimists have a posi-tive, can do reality. Pessi-mists have a negative, it’s not possible reality. Both will argue vociferously as to the validity of their po-sition.
Regardless of the rea-son, you ultimately create your own reality. Oth-ers may not understand your reality or agree with it. You have no obliga-tion to explain it to them or convince them of your reasoning.
Your perception is your reality. Do you see the glass as half full or half empty? This is a simple comparison that is the core of your reality. Giv-
en that you control your perception, you also have control of your reality.
Since you create your reality, you can change it to be aligned with your aspirations. If you are not happy with your reality, you must fi rst understand why before you can make effective adjustments. Next, visualize your world the way you would like it to be. This will start to change your perception and thus your reality. You can make your real-ity whatever you want it to be.

Kossuth High names second nine weeks honor roll students
JACKSON — A new re-port calls for Mississippi’s road-building agency to do more to account for the money it spends, but agrees the state doesn’t have enough money to maintain its roads and bridges.
The report by the Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review, could fi gure prominently into the ongoing debate over raising more money for the Mississippi De-partment of Transporta-tion.
The watchdog commit-tee agreed with MDOT’s position that Mississippi
needs to spend about $400 million more per year to keep roads and bridges from getting worse.
“There is clearly a shortage of funds to meet the state’s road needs,” said the report, released Friday.
Proponents of more money have pushed to raise the state gasoline tax. But they’re now seek-ing other options, given Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves are both opposed to such a tax in-crease.
Opponents of more spending have said it’s unclear how MDOT de-cides to spend money, or whether it’s spending
on the highest needs. In a series of 14 recommen-dations, PEER called on MDOT to make its deci-sion making easier for outsiders to understand, and for the agency to do more to measure its bang for the buck.
PEER wrote that MDOT not only needs to describe how it selects projects, but “show that it selected the right project and car-ried out the project in an effi cient manner.”
PEER criticized MDOT for deviating from its in-ternal rating system to select bridge replacement projects, but said the agency is “moving in the right direction of provid-ing suffi cient documenta-
tion to support its bridge project decisions.”
MDOT is trying to allo-cate maintenance money to its six districts based on need, versus the prior system based on vehicle miles traveled. That tran-sition has left northeast Mississippi’s fi rst district with a larger share of funds than need calls for, while it’s left the sixth dis-trict running from Laurel to the Gulf Coast with a smaller share.
PEER criticized the agency for spending mon-ey studying and buying land for expansions un-likely to be built for years.
MDOT Executive Di-rector Melinda McGrath wrote back to PEER that
the department would use the recommendations as “a guiding document” to develop a strategic plan to report on the de-partment’s effi ciency and performance in a way the public can understand. The department has also received and is analyzing a study about how it uses its equipment.
PEER’s analysis shows MDOT spent $505 mil-lion on maintenance last year, or 46 percent of the agency’s $1.1 billion bud-get. Transportation Com-missioner Dick Hall, a Re-publican who represents the Central District, has been leading the fi ght for more revenue. He found the report favorable to
MDOT.“I’m for more resourc-
es,” he said Tuesday. “I’ll leave it to the Legisla-ture to determine what shape it takes. I’m trying to make the case that we need more resources or we’re going to be driving on gravel roads.”
But with opposition strong to raising the state’s fuel tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, lawmak-ers are looking for other ideas.
House Transportation Committee Chairman Robert Johnson III, D-Natchez, said he hoped lawmakers might add an-other $20 million from general tax receipts to pay for bridges.

Promoting Corinth Corinth Tourism Director Christy Burns (left) visited the Mississippi Capitol on Wednesday and met with Sen. Rita Parks, who arranged meetings for Burns with Senate Tourism Chairman Lydia Chassaniol and Rep. Rita Martinson, who chairs the House Tourism Committee. Burns made other valuable contacts throughout the day that she will use to boost tourism efforts in the city.
DETROIT — A race-worthy Corvette, a sump-tuous Mercedes C-Class and other glitzy new mod-els caught the eye at this year’s North American International Auto Show, but larger trends in the auto industry were also on display.
Ford’s aluminum-clad F-150 shows us that au-tomakers are fi guring out how to improve fuel econ-omy and still give Ameri-cans the big vehicles they want. Porsche’s 911 Targa and pocket rockets from Volkswagen and Subaru demonstrate that buy-ers still love performance cars, no matter what their budget. And new main-stream cars like the Hon-da Fit and Chrysler 200 will have to work hard to compete in a market that’s not growing as fast as it once did.
Here are fi ve things we learned at the auto show’s media days this week:
Glimpseof the future
Infi niti, Kia, Volkswa-gen, Nissan, Audi, Mini, Volvo, Honda. These and other automakers showed concepts, which are ex-perimental cars that test design ideas and new technology.
Toyota’s FT-1, a sin-ewy sport car, refl ects the company’s desire to shed its stodgy reputation and build cars that make your heart pound. The clean, white Volvo XC coupe, made of high-strength steel, shows that Scandi-navian safety can be sexy. Volkswagen’s BlueMotion concept — a souped up Passat — shows techni-
cal prowess, deactivating cylinders from its four-cylinder engine to get an estimated 42 mpg on the highway.
Some concepts are just trial balloons. Honda’s space age FCEV barely looks drivable; it’s just testing the design lim-its for Honda’s new fuel cell cars. Others, like Kia’s radical GT4 Stinger sports car — which would take the Korean carmaker in a whole new direc-tion — may be headed to showrooms.
The fact that the show is packed with concepts is a good sign. During the re-cession, budgets for these dream cars dried up.
“Automakers are clear-ly comfortable spend-ing more,” said Jessica Caldwell, a senior analyst with Edmunds.com
Let’s make a deal
Automakers and ana-lysts expect total U.S. sales between 16 million and 16.5 million this year. That’s a return to pre-re-cession levels and a natu-ral place for sales to be, based on population and other factors. But there’s a catch: The easy sales have already been made.
Jim Lentz, Toyota’s North American CEO, says the big sales gains — at least 1 million a year for four straight years — were driven by pent-up demand from people who held on to their cars through the recession and needed new ones. But that demand is drying up; many are forecasting industry sales gains of 500,000 or less this year.
“I call it a levelling off,” Lentz said. “We’re going to rely more on the fun-damentals of a strength-
ening economy that will grow the market.”
That could be a boon for car buyers. Automak-ers could offer better lease deals and other in-centives get their share of sales. But that can quickly spiral into an expensive game for carmakers.
“They’re eating their young if they’re not care-ful,” said Larry Domi-nique, president of ALG, an automotive data com-pany.
Everyone’san engineer
At past shows, nobody talked much about what the cars were made of. The widespread use of aluminum in the body of Ford’s new F-150 pickup truck changed that. “Al-loy” is now a buzz word.
The F-150 — whose body is made of 5000 and 600 series aluminum alloys — had everyone talking about materials. Toyota pointed out the aluminum hood of the hy-brid Prius. Honda said it uses magnesium for steer-ing beams. The electric BMW i3 is made of car-bon fi ber. Volvo promises high-strength boron steel.
In the future, expect even more discussion about materials, their properties, their cost and their benefi ts or draw-backs. The carbon fi ber used on the hood of the Corvette Stingray, for ex-ample, is half the weight of aluminum, says chief engineer Tadge Juechter. But carbon fi ber also has drawbacks. It’s pricey and takes longer to form into parts — hardly ideal for high-production models.
“It’s about choosing the right material for the right purpose,” said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning for American Honda.
Bigger is better
Using new materials does more than just shed weight. It also debunks the widely held theory that cars and trucks will have to get smaller, or use batteries or other al-
ternative power, in order to meet strict federal gas mileage requirements.
“The expectation used to be that you’d have to get the green version, the eco model,” Dominique said. “But now everyone’s baking it in normally.”
That’s good news for the industry. Vehicles have quietly been getting big-ger for the past few years, to the point that compacts are as big as older mid-size cars. The Audi A4, for example, has gained 6 inches in the last decade, and its little sibling, the A3, has stretched to take its place. The A3 sedan is nearly the same size as the A4 was in 2004.
At the same time, U.S. consumers are also choosing bigger vehicles, at least while gas prices are steady. Car sales grew at less than half the pace of SUVs and crossovers last year, according to Au-todata Corp.
Ford’s gamble on alumi-num suggests those trends could continue despite the government’s mandate that fl eets meet a 54.5 mpg average by 2025.
Zoom, zoom
Those fuel economy mandates once appeared to signal the death of sporty cars. But of the 50-plus new models being in-troduced in Detroit, more than a dozen are perfor-mance cars.
Americans have more discretionary income — and a growing appetite for fast, maneuverable cars.
Chevrolet unveiled two race-worthy versions of the Corvette, each with a staggering 625 horse-power V8, while Volk-swagen pulled the cover off the 290-horsepower Golf R compact. Subaru unveiled a high-speed version of the already powerful WRX small car. Lexus showed its 450-horsepower RC F. Kia omitted the radio from its 315-horsepower GT4 Stinger because it thinks drivers will prefer the sound of the engine.
The industry isn’t just showing off. Sports cars take a lot of research and development time and money, but the payoff to automakers comes when technology fi nds its way into mainstream cars, said Stifel auto analyst Jamie Albertine. Chrysler has a sporty version of its new 200 midsize car, a segment known for more pedestrian rides. And BMW added M sport ver-sions to its 3-Series sedan and 4-Series coupe.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “George,” and I have been mar-ried for 13 years. Last night he dropped a bombshell. He told me that while he loves me, he isn’t happy. He assured me he has no inclination to divorce me, but he pretty much laid the en-tire reason for his unhappiness at my feet.
I don’t handle people well. I love George and our son, but I am most relaxed and comfort-able when I’m by myself. I don’t neglect them. We do lots of stuff outside the house as a family. I have no close friends, and that’s how I prefer it.
George’s complaint is that I keep him from having friends. I have never tried to stop him. In fact, I have encouraged him to cultivate friendships and hang out with “the guys,” join groups, etc.
He says he can’t do that and leave me at home. I wouldn’t mind his going out, but it’s nerve-racking for me to go.
Abby, in 13 years I don’t think I have ever looked George or my son in the eye. It’s not something I’m comfortable with. My husband knew how I was when he married me. What can I do? — OKLAHOMA LONER
DEAR LONER: You need to fi nd out why you are unable to look even the people closest to you in the eye. Eye contact is an important part of com-munication, and that you are
unable to do it even with your child is of con-cern to me. There may be a psy-chological or neurological reason for it.
While it’s fi ne for you to encour-age your
husband to socialize without you, it’s understandable that he would feel uncomfortable doing it all the time. He isn’t a bach-elor. Couples usually socialize together, and the women often initiate the arranging.
If the root of your problem is a social anxiety disorder, there is help available for it. Your doc-tor may be able to refer you to a specialist. For the sake of your marriage and your family, please don’t put it off.
DEAR ABBY: I’m thinking about marrying my longtime boyfriend, but I’m hesitant be-cause he wants me to change my last name. I want to keep my maiden name as my mother did. Most of the women I look up to in my life kept their names.
My boyfriend says my wanting to keep my name tells him I am not committed. He says he’d be really hurt if I did it. I feel that retaining my name is the ulti-mate in female empowerment.
The tradition of women chang-ing their last name goes back to when we were treated as prop-erty and not educated.
What do you think I should do? — FEMALE FIRST, WIFE SECOND
DEAR FEMALE FIRST: Wom-en retain their maiden names for a variety of reasons: Many do it because they are established in their careers when they marry and feel a name change would be confusing. Others prefer to keep their personal and pro-fessional lives separate. This shouldn’t be a contest of wills, and you should not change your name to prove the depth of your commitment.
Your boyfriend appears to be very traditional in his think-ing. Stop for a moment and ask yourself what that would mean for your future if you marry him. Would he be willing to compro-mise if you offer to hyphenate your name with his? If he isn’t, and you feel giving up your name would make you feel like chattel, then perhaps you should look for a man whose beliefs are closer to your own.

Woman prefers solitary life, despite husband’s protests
ARIES (March 21-April 19). What’s lovely is also rare. Catch the beauty -- don’t let it fl y by without observation. Collect it in pictures or words so it can bring you happiness many times over.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People have grown comfortable with who you are, but you want to make a change. Expect them to resist this at fi rst, and don’t let it deter you. You know best.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will be more than the usu-al amount of the kind of compli-cations you can chalk up to hu-man folly. You can fi nd your way by disregarding what people say and judging them solely on their actions.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Greatness sometimes leads to obtaining power, but power is not greatness. Understand-ing the difference will keep you humble, wise and well suited to a position of leadership.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Those
who tell you their good qualities are cheating. Discovering them for yourself is half the fun of get-ting to know people. Help people feel relaxed around you so this process will be easier.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People who don’t believe in magic will change their minds when they see what’s going on in your life now. You would be hard-pressed to fi nd a reason-able explanation for your good fortune. Enjoy!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are rising inch by inch to the level at which you want to be. Your slow pace reinforces all that you’re learning. Because you don’t rush things, you’ll re-member more.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s an excellent day to veer un-expectedly left. You can always come back to center later. Try new things, say new words, feel new feelings. You were meant to know the fullness of life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s nothing wrong with wanting to control your environ-ment, as long as you realize that much of it will remain out of your control and there’s little to be gained by forcing things.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People who are adventur-ous by nature like to break the rules. Realizing that this is just how they are will help you to predict their behavior instead of being blindsided by it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Make a record of the things you like right now. Your tastes will change in interesting ways over the next three months, and you’ll be glad you took note of this interesting progression.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A project seems not to be work-ing. Don’t abandon it yet -- not without a fi ght. And if you must let it go, at least break down the parts. There is something to sal-vage here.

ECRU -— The Corinth War-riors turned the ball over on each of their fi rst three pos-sessions before rebounding for a 74-51 win over New Hope on Saturday.
Corinth, which extended its season-best winning streak to eight games, never shook the turnover bug completely but literally did rebound for its 18th win in 20 outings.
The Warriors had 10 second-chance points in a 23-point quarter and ended the fourth of eight games at the Kings of the Court Show-down at North Pontotoc High School with a 35-20 advan-tage over the Class 5A Tro-jans on the boards.
The Biggersville Lions dropped a 62-48 decision to Class 4A Pontotoc in the fi -nale. The Lions (15-4) trailed 21-7 after one, but took the lead in the third quarter be-fore Pontotoc pulled away in the fourth.
Other scores from the an-nual event were: Tremont 39, Houston 33; South Pontotoc 61, Itawamba AHS 58; Bel-mont 65, Falkner 52; Ripley 83, Calhoun City 69; Horn Lake 55, and Shannon 53; Collierville (Tenn.) 52, North Pontotoc 50 in overtime as the Vikings played without star Marcus Green, who was on a football recruiting visit.
Corinth (18-2) jumped out to a 10-0 lead, making four of its fi rst seven shots, and held
New Hope (9-8) scoreless until the 4:32 mark. Behind six points each from Kendall Stafford and Raheem Sorrell, the Warriors led 23-13 after one.
Desmin Harris, who played in his 100th game along with Sorrell, had 12 in the fi rst half as Corinth pushed the lead to 43-27 at the break. The senior had seven in the period, in-cluding a buzzer-beater from midcourt.
Corinth was 16-of-29 from the fl oor and 9-of-13 from the line in the opening half. Of the 15 reboundable misses on the offensive end, the War-riors hauled down 11 and con-verted eight into 14 points.
The Warriors used an 18-13 advantage, highlighted by
Stafford’s eight, to push the count to 61-40 after three.
Stafford fi nished with a game-high 20, two off his ca-reer high. Harris had 14 -- go-ing 5-for-7 from the fl oor and making his only attempt in the second half. Sorrell added 12, all in the fi rst half.

Warriors claim 8th straight win
BY DAVID BRANDTAP Sports Writer
STARKVILLE — Gavin Ware has always been nim-ble and skilled for a big man, blessed with a soft touch around the rim and good in-stincts for scoring.
Now he’s becoming more aggressive. It’s no coinci-dence Mississippi State’s pro-gram is improving as a result.
Craig Sword scored 23 points, Ware added 22 points and 10 rebounds and the Bulldogs rallied for an 81-72 overtime victory against Tex-as A&M.
Mississippi State (12-5, 2-2
Southeastern Conference) fought back from a 52-42 def-icit midway through the sec-ond half. Ware’s crucial steal under Mississippi State’s own basket and then the ensuing putback tied the game at 67 with 30 seconds left.
The 6-foot-9, 262-pound big man was even better in
overtime, scoring eight of the team’s 14 points as the Bull-dogs pulled away for the vic-tory.
“I just felt that I needed to be a guy who stepped up,” Ware said. “I knew my team-mates were going to step up too, but Texas A&M had a smaller (frontcourt), so this was my time to eat, as people like to say. I just used that ad-vantage.”
Texas A&M’s Jamal Jones led the Aggies with 24 points, but he was ejected from the game with 1:07 remaining in overtime after receiving two quick technical fouls. Davon-
te Fitzgerald added 20.The Bulldogs shot 52.7 per-
cent (29 of 55) from the fi eld.Fitzgerald missed a long
3-pointer at the buzzer that would have won it in regula-tion. Texas A&M (12-5, 3-1) lost for the fi rst time in con-ference play.
The Aggies came into the game as a surprising co-lead-er in the league, matching Florida with three straight wins. They missed a good opportunity to make it 4-0, leading for most of the game before the late collapse.

The Associated PressDENVER — Only one of
them can be the greatest.Peyton Manning could be
the one — owner of a record four, working on fi ve, Most Valuable Player awards, cur-rent holder of NFL single-season records for passing yardage and touchdowns and architect of a career-re-viving second act, the likes of which has rarely been seen in any sport.
Tom Brady could also be that man — leader of fi ve Super Bowl teams and win-ner of three titles, one-time holder of some of the records Manning holds now and au-thor of an undefeated regu-lar season. He also has that
10-4 record against Manning despite constant turnover on his roster and a lack of a star-studded receiving corps.
Manning and Brady will meet Sunday for the 15th time, and the fourth time in the postseason, when the Broncos (14-3) face the Pa-triots (13-4) in the AFC title game.
The winner between the top two quarterbacks over an era in which quarterbacks have never been so good will get what could be the last say in the debate over who goes down as the greatest — not so much because of what the win-loss numbers will say
Brady vs. Manning again with SB on line
The Associated PressSEATTLE — From the fi rst
kickoff back in September, the 49ers and Seahawks seemed destined to meet for the NFC title.
Time to get it on.With the conference’s
most physical, relentless de-fenses, adept at forcing turn-overs and making opponents think twice about, well, just about anything, Seattle (now 14-3) won the NFC West by one game over San Francisco (now 14-4). The offenses, while not nearly as imposing, have the right elements for a champion: strong running games, effi cient and some-times dynamic quarterbacks, and staunch lines.
Their coaches have the proper pedigree, as well. Jim Harbaugh has led the 49ers to the NFC champion-ship game in all three sea-sons in charge, making the Super Bowl last year. Pete Carroll had a 28-23 record in three seasons as Patriots coach, then went to the col-lege ranks and built a pow-erhouse at Southern Califor-nia, with two national titles.
That there’s no love lost between Harbaugh and Car-roll dating back to when they both were working in college — Harbaugh at Stanford, where he ran up the score on Carroll’s Trojans — adds
49ers, Seahawks just belong in this game

The Associated PressCOLUMBIA, S.C. — An-
thony Perez scored a career-high 22 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:02 remaining as Mississippi erased a 12-point defi cit and held on to defeat South Caro-lina 75-74 Saturday.
Marshall Henderson had 16 of his 19 points in the second half for the Rebels (12-5, 3-1 Southeastern Conference), who rallied after falling be-hind 39-27 early on the sec-ond half. Ole Miss still trailed 66-61 after Duane Notice’s
two jumpers with four min-utes left.
That’s when Henderson drove right of the lane for a basket and got fouled for a
three-point play. Perez tied the game with two foul shots on Ole Miss’ next possession. Perez followed a minute later with a three to put the Rebels ahead for good, 71-68.
South Carolina (7-10, 0-4) closed to 75-74 and had pos-session with 1.8 seconds left, but Sindarius Thorn-well’s 3-point heave was off the mark. Thornwell led the Gamecocks with 24 points.
Perez bettered his career mark of 14, set against Mis-sissippi Valley State in No-vember.
Henderson was held to 1-of-8 shooting in the open-ing half, yet made his points count — and put on a show — in the second half. When he hit the last of his three 3-pointers to put Ole Miss ahead 48-47, Henderson dragged his fi nger across the fl oor like a match on his way to the bench.
Jarvis Summers added 19 points for the Rebels.

Perez’s 22 leads Rebels to road victory
The Associated PressAUBURN, Ala. — Billy
Donovan cautioned his Flor-ida Gators before the game not to assume Casey Prather would instantly return to form after a two-game layoff.
Prather scored 16 of his 21 points in the fi rst half in his comeback from a badly bruised right knee and helped No. 7 Florida survive a scare from Auburn in a 68-61 vic-tory on Saturday. Donovan’s warning proved unnecessary.
“That rule went out the win-dow after the fi rst half, when
he had 16,” the coach said. “He was clearly going to play a lot more since he played so well.
“I’m not so sure if he’s hurt again this game, that this is a game we could pull out.”
Prather made eight of 10 shots for the Gators (15-2, 4-0 Southeastern Conference), who have won nine straight games and eight in a row at Auburn (8-7, 0-4).
Donovan said Prather looked just OK in practice Thursday with no contact, but fared better the day before the game.
“He was like, ‘When you come back to practice, are you going to baby it or are you go-ing to play?’” Prather said. “I said I was going to play.”
Tahj Shamsid-Deen hit a jump shot with 1:59 left to cut Florida’s lead to 62-61, but Scottie Wilbekin answered with a fadeaway jumper.
“We didn’t really have any-thing going on that posses-sion,” Wilbeken said. “My fi rst drive, I didn’t have any-thing so I tried to give it to Casey Prather coming around behind me. His man denied
him, so I had to make another move and I just made it.”
Wilbekin, who scored 16 points, made two of four free throws over the fi nal 48 sec-onds.
Patric Young blocked KT Harrell’s attempt to bring Auburn to within two points in between those trips to the line.
Kasey Hill made two late free throws for the fi nal mar-gin.
Chris Denson had 15 of his 21 points in the second half to help keep the Tigers close.

plenty of spice.The sum total on both
sides should be a wor-thy conference champion to meet either Denver or New England in two weeks in the New Jersey Meadowlands for the NFL crown.
Even if both teams are playing down the drama they fi gure to provide be-fore an ear-shattering wall of noise at CenturyLink Field on Sunday.
“I think it’s pretty much, the game’s a bigger stage and gets you to the Su-per Bowl obviously,” said 49ers defensive line-man Justin Smith. “But I think for the most part how we’ve gone into every game in the year’s past is we try to be as regimented as possible in how we do things. We’re not going to get all caught up in ‘This
game gets us to the Super Bowl or this and that.’ We all know. There’s nothing that needs to be said or a special meeting or any-thing.”
Just football.“It’s like every game,”
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson confi rmed. “Every game is no dif-ferent even though it’s a championship game and all of that. We talk about playing 1-0 every week, and the game doesn’t change.
“It comes down to not turning over the football, being in the plus in that situation, having a lim-ited amount of penalties; you’re going to get some penalties, especially in a game like this, but not having too many of them.
“The biggest thing is just staying on schedule.”
The schedule brought these teams together in
September and Decem-ber. Seattle won 29-3 at home in Week 2, then lost 19-17 at San Francisco on Dec. 8.
CenturyLink Field might be the toughest ven-ue in the NFL for visitors, with architecture that not only keeps the noise inside the stadium, but funnels it toward the fi eld itself. Wil-son became a starter as a rookie in 2012 and went undefeated. He won his fi rst six home starts this season before a stumble against Arizona, but then Seattle defeated St. Louis to fi nish off the regular season, and New Orleans in a divisional-round play-off last weekend.
“That’s pretty spectacu-lar and it just shows how amazing our fans are, how much energy the city has for our football team,” Wilson said of the super-sonic sound levels the
49ers can expect to deal with when they have the ball. “That’s what we’re looking forward to, and we want to bring something special to this city, and to do it we have to play one play at a time and see what happens at the end of the game.”
Not that the 49ers are likely to be intimidated by the surroundings. They went 6-2 away from home in the regular season, and their two road wins have come at venerable Lam-beau Field in frigid con-ditions, and at Carolina, which had won its last seven home games.
“The last time we went up there we kind of lost it in the fourth quarter,” Smith said, “but we’re not too worried about that. We know what we have to do. We split with them. We happen to be up there and we’re ready to play.”

but because this could be the last time they meet with the stakes so high.
“I don’t know that there will ever be anoth-er rivalry like it, or has been a rivalry like it,” said John Elway, whose own rivalry with Dan Marino was held to only three meetings because of scheduling quirks over their decade-plus careers.
The game will either give Brady a chance to match Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for a fourth title or afford Manning the oppor-tunity to win a second ring, which would put him one behind Brady, and in the same com-pany with his brother, Eli, Roger Staubach and Elway, among others. It would also make Man-ning the fi rst QB to win championships with two different teams.
While paying ultimate respect to each other — “I feel like he’s been a bet-ter player each year than he was the year before,” Manning said — neither quarterback professes to care much about how their own head-to-head showdowns will defi ne their legacy.
Don’t believe it, says Phil Simms, who admits in retirement that the smile was a little wider after he walked off the fi eld with a win over a Staubach or Joe Theis-mann.
“It’s always personal, no matter what,” Simms said. “It’s part of being a competitor and doing what you do.”
One reason Brady has a .714 win percentage in the head-to-head meet-ings and also holds a 2-1 advantage in the playoffs is because, more often than not, he’s been sur-rounded by the more complete team.
He has been anything but a one-man show in New England this sea-son, illustrated best by the fact that the Patri-ots are in the AFC title game even though Brady
threw for 25 touchdowns — less than half of Man-ning’s record-setting 55.
Without Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Her-nandez or Wes Welker to throw to, Brady made it work, with a big as-sist from head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh Mc-Daniels, who used to coach the Broncos.
New England’s run-ning game, led by Le-Garrette Blount and Shane Vereen, has aver-aged 214 yards the last three games. Brady’s 75 passes over the last three games are the fewest of any three-game stretch in his career.
Welker, who played with Brady for six years before coming to Denver this season, says it’s not so much stats or physical attributes that defi nes these two Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks.
“They do a great job of keeping guys ac-countable, and their leadership skills and ev-erything else,” he said. “They are two guys you want quarterbacking your team. It’s a toss-up between those two.”
Manning has thrown for 92 touchdowns since arriving in Denver at the start of the 2012 season, his neck rebuilt from multiple surgeries, his future uncertain because of his weakened throw-ing arm.
He’d be the fi rst to ad-mit he’s not the same as he once was, physically. But nobody prepares better.
His record-setting 5,477 yards and all those touchdown throws came with a gifted group of of-fensive stars surround-ing him — Welker, Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas and this sea-son’s difference maker, 6-foot-5 tight end Julius Thomas. But Manning had great players around him in Indianapolis, as well, and never put up these sort of numbers.
“Honestly, no one will probably ever break that, not in this day and age,” former Broncos re-ceiver Rod Smith said.

this one. The Gamecocks came in having lost nine straight SEC games, in-cluding three this season.
Point guard Tyrone Johnson was lost indefi -nitely when he broke his right foot in a loss at Tex-as A&M last Wednesday night. Established point guard Bruce Ellington, also the football team’s top receiver, gave up the rest of his senior season in basketball to train for the NFL draft. That left the Gamecocks with three freshmen rotating in at the position in Duane Notice, Jaylen Shaw and Thornwell.
And Henderson looked like he was ready to build on his last showing when he scored 25 points to lead the Rebels past LSU, 88-74, on Wednesday. But Henderson and Ole Miss were off — way off — in the opening period.
He laughed off the pre-game fan taunts, imitat-
ed the drummers in the pep band and bounced around as he waited for the tip.
Henderson had a 3-pointer early as the Reb-els led 12-4 in the fi rst six minutes. They were still ahead 18-12 on Summers’ basket when the Game-cocks found their game.
Michael Carrera had a three-point play and two foul shots as part of 12-1 run to move in front. The Gamecocks kept up the pace, especially on de-fense as Ole Miss missed fi ve shots and committed seven of its 11 fi rst-half turnovers during a six-minute stretch.
By then, South Carolina had built a double-digit lead and led 37-27 at half-time.
Henderson missed his fi nal seven shots of the half and was 1 of 5 on 3-pointers the fi rst 20 minutes.
Shaw topped the Game-cocks with nine points in the opening period.
South Carolina may have been fueled by the atmosphere and large crowd at the 18,000-seat arena. The program was celebrating the legacy of late coach Frank McGuire and several of his players, including Alex English, Bobby Cremins, Mike Dunleavy and Brian Win-ters were on hand for cer-emonies.
Then Gamecocks foot-ball coach Steve Spur-rier and his players took the fl oor at halftime, the crowd saluting a third straight 11-2 season. Also on hand was defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who gave up his senior season for the NFL draft. Clowney is considered by many the top pro pros-pect.

Texas A&M and Mis-sissippi State both have a deliberate offense and put an emphasis on tight defense, so the sporadic scoring in the fi rst half wasn’t a surprise.
The frantic scoring in the second half and overtime was.
The Bulldogs shot 63.6 percent from the fi eld in the second half and 62.5 percent in overtime. Co-lin Borchert added 14 points and Fred Thomas had 13.
“We were grinding the whole game,” Sword said.
Texas A&M came into the game giving up 60.2 points per game, but couldn’t stop the Bull-dogs when it mattered most.
Things turned ugly late in overtime when Texas A&M’s Jones and Mississippi State’s Thomas received tech-nical fouls after ex-changing words. Then Jones picked up an-other technical as he walked to the bench and had to be escorted off the fl oor by Texas A&M assistants.
“I’d like to apologize about the way the game ended,” Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. “I’ve never had a team act like that, dem-onstrate that type of character at the end.”
Kennedy said the Ag-gies got frustrated after a few no-calls and didn’t
get back on defense. Texas A&M also fought foul trouble most of the afternoon and starters Alex Caruso and Kourt-ney Roberson both fouled out.
The Aggies jumped out to an early 15-7 lead, but the Bulldogs slowly fought back when a few outside jumpers fi nally went down. Shooting has been a struggle all season for Mississippi State, which came into the game a league-worst 29.1 percent from 3-point range.
But Sword hit his fi rst from behind the arc in more than a month to pull Mississippi State within 26-24. Then Thomas’ 3-pointer gave the Bulldogs a 27-26 lead going into halftime.
The Aggies quickly reclaimed the lead early in the second half and Jones knocked down a 3-pointer with 10:30 re-maining to push Texas A&M ahead 52-42.
But Mississippi State was just getting start-ed. Sword and Ware hit several clutch shots down the stretch for the Bulldogs, who have al-ready won more games this season than all of last year.
Now Ware hopes Sat-urday’s win leads to big-ger things.
“We still have to be humble,” Ware said. “Like coach says, we have to handle adversity and success. Don’t let things get to your head.”

So what do you think of the guy in the photo? Benjamin Butler is often at the top of the list of the ugliest generals in the Civ-
il War. In fact there was once a woman in New Or-leans who told him, “ G e n e r a l Butler, if I thought the devil was as ugly a man as
you I would double my prayers night and morn-ing that I never fall into his clutches.”
Let me introduce you to Major General Benjamin Butler, not just the ugli-est, but perhaps the most hated man in the South during the war, and for quite a few years after as well. He never came to Corinth but many of the soldiers who were in town had plenty to say about him.
First, a little back-ground. He hailed from Massachusetts and would eventually serve in Con-gress and later make his home in the Governor’s mansion. He was a bril-liant politician and was a major player in the Democratic convention in South Carolina in 1860.
During the process to select a viable candidate there were literally scores of nominations and votes to select the party’s nomi-nee for U.S. President. Through the course of the nominations Butler voted for future Confederate president Jefferson Davis not once, not twice, but fi fty-seven times!
When the war broke out his loyalties lay with the North and thanks to his high standing in the
Democratic Party, he was given a commission as a general in the volunteer army. It was thought an infl uential guy like him would hold the anti-war democrats in check, espe-cially if he was wearing a spiffy blue uniform.
The problem was he was an absolute zero as a military man. I could go on and on about his failures on the battlefi eld but I want to talk about a specifi c action of his that made him Public Enemy No. 1 of the Southern peo-ple. It started with his as-signment as commander of occupied New Orleans.
The Crescent City was the largest city in the Con-federacy when it fell to the Union in April, 1862. As the military governor of Louisiana he was a competent administrator but he was also consid-ered one of the most cor-rupt men to ever walk the streets of New Orleans. And that’s saying some-thing.
The story is he swiped all of the silverware from the home he had seized as his headquarters, enough cutlery to earn him the derisive nickname, “Spoons.” He also specu-lated in cotton of dubious ownership and fattened his bank account with the proceeds.
New Orleans didn’t hate just Ben Butler, they resented the entire Union occupation force and as such were less than gra-cious to their new guests. There were a number of violent incidents, several arrests and one hanging, but within two weeks the men of the city were pret-ty well subdued. Not so the ladies.
Patriotic women would cross the street rather than share the sidewalk
with one of the North-erners. They would exit churches, schools, stores, and streetcars for the same reason. Children were encouraged to sing patriotic songs and wave Confederate fl ags in the faces of the men in blue.
The less genteel among the ladies would shower the enemy with curses, dirt clods, and spit. The number of incidents and level of abuses reached an almost fever pitch by mid-May.
Things came to a head when Admiral David G. Farragut and his staff were walking down the street and a resident dumped a “vessel of not very clean water” on his head as he passed under one of the iron balconies. The vessel was in fact a chamber pot.
Butler had put up with all he was willing to put up with, and a few days later he released his infamous General Order No. 28.
“As the offi cers and soldiers of the United States have been subject to repeated insults from the women (calling them-selves ladies) of New Or-leans, in return for the most scrupulous non-interference and courtesy on our part, it is ordered that hereafter when any female shall, by word, gesture or movement, insult or show contempt for any offi cer or soldier of the United States, she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town ply-ing her avocation.”
You can only imagine the immediate outcry. In one paragraph he swept the Southern women off the pedestal and into the gutter. Or so it was re-ported in every Southern newspaper.
It only took a day for the proclamation to reach Corinth and it ran like wildfi re through the camps. Captain George Dobson of the 10th Mis-sissippi, like all of the men of his company, was outraged.
From his tent at Camp Smith, Dobson wrote his wife that the proclama-tion had “stretched the fi ghting quality of the army to its utmost ten-sion. The Rev. Palmer of New Orleans read it to the troops yesterday, with suitable sentiments; nearly all the regiments were represented here, and the horror, and in-dignation expressed by those present was only a release of the feelings of the whole army. I think few prisoners will be tak-en here as, if that is their game, termination will be the best way of working on their feelings.”
George enclosed a copy of the General Order and directed his wife to, “Read this and ponder it, and if it does not call up the fi erc-est passions of Southern chivalry, then the cause we are fi ghting for ought to be buried beneath the waves of oblivion so deep that a bubble would not mark the place where it had sunk to eternal rest.”
Private William Tru-man of Wade’s Missouri Battery had just moved camp from Rienzi to Corinth when the news arrived. “The papers from Mobile and Memphis contained the sad and unexpected news of the fall of New Orleans, and shortly afterwards But-ler’s beastly order was read to us, by order of Be-auregard. Butler autho-rizing his soldiers to treat, ‘all Southern women who did not treat them nicely,
as lewed women.’”Truman was correct.
From his headquarters in the Fish Pond House on Kilpatrick Street, Be-auregard wrote a reply to Butler’s order and di-rected it to be read to ev-ery Confederate soldier in Corinth.
“Men of the South! Shall our mothers, our wives, our daughters and our sisters, be thus out-raged by the ruffi anly soldiers of the North, to whom is given the right to treat, at their pleasure, the ladies of the South as common harlots? Arouse friends, and drive back from our soil, those in-famous invaders of our homes and disturbers of our family ties., G.T. BE-AUREGARD., General Commanding.”
The response was picked up by the South-ern papers, and to borrow a modern term, it went viral. From one end of the country to the other, everyone read Beaure-gard’s words and all good Confederates clamored for Butler’s head. Presi-dent Davis denounced the now infamous order and placed a bounty on the head of the Union general. He was to be ex-ecuted immediately upon capture.
Alas, the “Beast” was never caged. He survived the war but had returned to civilian life by the time it ended. General Grant detested the incompetent general who had amassed a string of defeats on a number of battlefi elds. After the election of No-vember, 1864, Butler’s political infl uence was no longer needed and the administration turned its back on him. He was fi red by Grant and sent packing to Massachusetts.
The people of New Or-leans have been a long time in forgiving ol’ “Spoons”; maybe some-day they actually will. You can still fi nd his likeness in town however, if you look in the right antique shops. It was a popular item in many homes in New Or-leans, and throughout the South, to keep a chamber pot under the bed with a likeness in the bowl of the ugliest man who ever wore Union blue.
P.S. I want to extend my personal invitation to join our Civil War Book Chat. We hold our meetings on Thursday mornings at 8:30 in the library of the Interpretive Center. We are about to start a new book, “The Tarnished Cavalier: Major General Earl Van Dorn, C.S.A.” by Arthur B. Carter. We have copies of the book avail-able in the bookstore. The book chat will kick off on Thursday, Jan. 30.
Our core group has read a number of Corinth re-lated books and we often have spirited discussions that everyone joins in on. Given the subject of our newest book we should have some very lively de-bates indeed. So bring a cup of coffee and be pre-pared to join the group as well as Jim, Ashley, and myself, for an in-depth look at the man who led the Confederate army at the Battle of Corinth. We will begin by discussing Chapters 1 & 2.
See you there.

Friday is normally a crazy day for Randy Heil.
On this particular end of the weekday, it was more like Christmas for a pair of customers who stopped by his muzzle-loader business.
Out-of-towners Phil Boatwright and Carl Rinehart had made the trip to collect something they had been anxiously waiting.
“I can’t wait to shoot it,” said Boatwright as he marveled at the black powder pistol made by Randy’s Muzzleloading in Corinth. “I have been looking high and low for one … it’s a handsome piece of work.”
The response of the Etta resident is what Heil hears a lot when he pres-ents the fi nished product to a customer.
“People like a certain pattern,” said Heil, who took over running Ten-nessee Valley Manufac-turing – since changed to Randy’s Muzzleload-ing – from Jack Garner six years ago. “It took me a good 10 years to learn everything about muzzle-loaders … they are a lot like women in the respect you have to learn them.”
Heil and his team of Brian Turner, Nathan Stephenson and Greg Christian make around 1,000 muzzleloaders a year.
“Most are made by Bri-an,” said Heil while tak-ing a puff on a cigarette. “Nathan builds all the custom and fancy carving models, and if you want something crisp and clean Johnny (Turner) is the person you need to go to.”
Rinehart was im-pressed with his Virginian style .50-caliber rifl e.
“It’s a gorgeous gun,” he said. “Some people like a lot of fl ash, but I like things that are useful … Randy can build anything you want.”
“We are lucky to have him this close,” added Boatwright.
Both Boatwright and Rinehart, who lives in Coldwater, are members of the Hatchie Run Long-rifl es Club along with Heil.
“There aren’t many who do this,” said Rinehart. “Randy makes a custom-made gun for the person buying it.”
Heil, who previously worked for Quebecor World, met Garner over 25 years ago. After the two drifted apart, Heil, now 46, went back to work for the original gun maker.
“Jack retired before he was supposed to,” said the business owner with a smile.
Those looking to have
a muzzleloader built have to decide a few things before a plan is put into work.
“I want to fi nd out what caliber and style of rifl e they want,” said Heil. “The .54, .45 and .40-cali-ber models are the best selling guns … the 40 is a wicked son of a gun.”
The gun maker pointed out the Tennessee and Southern styles are also popular.
“The smooth bore is real big because you can shoot a ball or shot,” said the owner.
A pattern is the next thing to be decided. Once a pattern is selected, the gunmakers will use a plank that is 2 1⁄4 inches wide and 60 inches long to transform the curly maple or walnut piece of wood into a rifl e.
If the customer goes the kit route, they can expect to receive items such as a stock, barrel, lock, trig-gers, nosecap, breech plug, tennons, thimble, vent, ramrod, buttplate and trigger guard.
“A lot of times people will send the kit back and ask us to do it,” said Heil.
Six weeks after taking an order, the gun is in the hands of the buyer.
“A lot of our business is from up north,” said the 46-year-old Heil. “Most of the local calls are from people who think we are modern gun repairmen.”
Many fi nd out about the local maker through the website www.tennes-seevalleymanufacturing.com.
“The phone rings off the wall Monday through Thursday,” said Heil. “It might slow down at the end of February, but right now we stay busy.”
Customers can expect to pay in the neighbor-hood of at least $1,000 to have a rifl e made by the business.
“Customers like to pick out what they want if they are going to spend a lot of money on it,” said Heil. “The muzzleloader is still cheaper than the modern gun and we can make it anyway the customers wants.”

IUKA — These are the slow times at J.P. Cole-man State Park, and that probably won’t change until March.
“We have three weeks of spring breaks in March — Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama,” said Ruth Watson, park manager. “That’s when it starts.”
The place was all but deserted during the re-cent cold snap, when the temperature reached mi-nus 6 degrees.
But the views of Pick-wick Lake that keep the place hopping in the spring, summer and fall are still there in winter.
“In November and De-cember, we have a lot of people from Florida,” Watson said. “They stay in the motel because of
the view. They usually come on the Tuesday be-fore Thanksgiving and go home on Sunday. They just have a ball.”
Businesses hold their Christmas parties at the park’s meeting room, which has giant picture windows overlooking the water. The room is also a winter wedding spot.
J.P. Coleman State Park in Iuka got its start in 1958, when the Ten-nessee Valley Authority donated land adjacent to Pickwick Reservoir to cre-ate a recreation area.
“Most of the weddings, if it’s in the summer, are outside,” Watson said. “They have the reception indoors.”
When a park ranger was married at J.P. Coleman, he and his new bride left the park in a boat.
And boating is a prime
attraction during the busy season. There are three docks for boat owners that rent slips from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks for long-term use.
About a year ago, the park added a transient dock for visitors who didn’t want to have to take their boats in and out of the water numerous times during their stay.
“We have water skiing, jet skiing, pontoon boats and really high-dollar fi shing boats and house boats,” Watson said.
Pickwick Lake offers 47,500 acres of water, and comes complete with crappie, bream, catfi sh, sauger, walleye and bass. The park will host a fi sh-ing tournament on Satur-day Feb. 15.
“They’ll come in on the Thursday before then
leave out early in the morning to do their pre-liminary scouting,” Wat-son said. “They’re serious about it.”
The park offers a mo-tel with balcony views of the water. There also are cabins, as well as cottages that were once used by Hurricane Katrina evacu-ees.
“They have become popular because they are two-bedroom cottages,” Watson said.
Full hookups are avail-able for recreational vehi-cles, and there are primi-tive tent sites.
Reservations can be made two years in ad-vance, and that makes getting a room at the height of the busy season a tough prospect.
“A lot of them, as soon as they fi nish their stay, they’ll make a reservation
for two years out,” she said.
The park has a pool that’s open from Memo-rial Day to Labor Day. A 19-hole miniature golf course is part of 680 de-veloped acres.
A trail goes to the for-mer location of a steel bridge. That’s the same area where people hook up a rope and swing into the water, though Watson doesn’t endorse that prac-tice.
“The whole park is sheets of rock and it goes out into the water. They have to jump out past it,” Watson said. “It’s pretty dangerous.”
Another water feature is far less dangerous, but it’s not technically a part of the park. A creek runs along the entrance and actually fl ows across the drive.
“You have a lot of kids who like to go walking in the creek, especially in June and July, when it’s hot. They love that creek,” Watson said. “They’ll see a car coming and you’ll see them line up on each side of the creek where it crosses the road because they want to be splashed.”
Hikers also are invited to trek out to Mansell Spring.
“Boy Scouts built a trail. It’s about half a mile long,” she said. “It’s a spring, and the water is absolutely delicious. It’s really cold now, but it’s usually cold, even in the summer.”
Bald eagles make year-ly appearances. Watson saw one hover in the air just off from the meeting room, then it fl ew over to

Have you ever had your makeup profes-sionally applied? Apart from a trial application at a department store makeup counter, many women likely have no experience with profes-sional makeup artists. While one may not hire a makeup artist for every-day events, a wedding is an occasion that often warrants the expertise of a professional.
Many brides-to-be and their attendants book the services of a hairstylist to achieve beautiful wedding day hair but may not fi nd it necessary to enlist the services of a makeup art-ist, fi guring they can ap-ply makeup effectively enough.
But a makeup art-ist has a wealth of in-formation in makeup application, as well as knowledge of what looks best under the lights and fl ashes of a camera. For those spending sev-eral thousand dollars on professional photogra-phy, an investment in a makeup artist can help ensure the faces smiling back from the photos look their best.
Hiring a professional who understands how makeup reads in a pho-tograph and how it looks in everyday light can help any bride-to-be put her best face forward. It also takes away some of the stress of readying for the wedding day. Many do-it-yourself brides do not use the right prod-ucts and can end up looking washed out in photographs. Brides, es-pecially those who typi-cally do not wear a lot of makeup, may not know how much to apply, re-sulting in a lackluster fi nished product. Here’s why the makeup artist can prove invaluable.
• He or she can pin-point your best features and play them up. As an unbiased observer, the makeup artist will not see your fl aws but rather will look at your best as-sets.
• A makeup artist knows that the bride wants to see herself and not the makeup. He or
she is creating the best version of the bride.
• Makeup artists use tricks of the trade to enhance or camoufl age certain features. They have an intimate knowl-edge of highlighting and shading they are capable of, through applying makeup, sculpting the face.
• A professional will know the products avail-able and be familiar with which formulations work best on all types of skin. If you have oily or dry skin, they can work to minimize any appear-ances of fl aws. Also, a makeup artist will have many products and tools at the ready, reducing your need to shop prior to your wedding for all of the makeup essentials.
• You get a trial run with a makeup artist. Sitting down with a pro-fessional gives you the opportunity to try on a few different looks and decide on which you prefer. Do-it-yourself brides sometimes leave makeup decisions to the last minute and really do not have a game plan the day of the wedding.
• A professional can advise on the right tone. A common mistake made by do-it-your-selfers is choosing the wrong shade of founda-tion. Brides may end up looking like a pasty vam-pire or someone who has spent too much time in the sun. A makeup art-ist can help fi nd the right shade and blend it in so there are no apparent lines from the face to the neck and decolletage.
• A makeup artist can get those tricky false lashes to look natural. Lush, full lashes really get eyes noticed, but many women are unsure of just how to apply false lashes. Lashes may be part of the makeup art-ist’s insider tricks, and he or she can apply them so no one knows they are not real.
Hiring a makeup art-ist to apply your wed-ding day look could be a smart investment, par-ticularly if you want to stand out and be noticed on your big day.
Makeup artists can add a lot to a wedding
Many brides-to-be look forward to the day when they visit a bridal salon and are able to try on gowns for the fi rst time. There are cer-tain tips that can make the day go much more smoothly and potential-ly reduce the amount of time it may take to fi nd the perfect gown.
• Wear a supportive, well constructed strap-less bra or corset in your correct size. If you will be wearing a petticoat, also have the right size available.
• Go without face makeup when trying on gowns so they remain clean.
• Try to wear your hair similar to the style you have in mind for your wedding.
• Note that the size of the wedding gown you will wear is typically one to two sizes larger than your day-to-day clothes. Proper measurements can be matched to de-signers’ size charts.
• It’s best to limit the number of people with whom you shop to 1 or 2 trusted friends or family members. An entourage can be confusing.
• It’s always better to order a slightly larger gown and leave room for alterations if you are be-tween sizes.

The winter months are
a time for the park’s eight employees to catch up on repairs. There’s not a lot of action out on the lake, except for commercial fi shermen who hunt for catfi sh each morning.
During the busy season, though, things can get stressful for the staff.
“You know you’ve got a lot of work to be doing and you wish you were out on the water, so it does cause stress for your heart and mind,” Watson said.
Luckily for them, the park offers a built-in rem-edy.
“It is very peaceful after
a long day in the sum-mer when it’s been busy,” Watson said.
“I’ll go right behind the motel and sit on the rocks and have a book and I’ll read. A lot of times, I’ll jot things down, things I’ve seen. It’s restful after a long day.”

Tips can make finding a gown a great experience
An elaborate ceremony punctuated with a white dress and gift registry is no longer reserved for couples marrying for the fi rst time.
“With about 40 percent of couples remarrying, our society has become more accustomed to sec-ond marriages,” said Carla Stanford, a Mis-sissippi State University Extension Service agent in Pontotoc County. “In the past, if either member of the couple had been married before, there was not a lot of pomp and cir-cumstance surrounding
the marriage. But today, people may go all out.”
Second marriages sometimes occur at a time when people are more fi -nancially stable and can afford a big event.
“Many individuals could not afford a formal affair the fi rst time around,” said Cassandra Kirkland, fam-ily life specialist with the MSU Extension Service. “Couples should make the most of the celebration in a manner that fi ts their identity best – simple or elaborate.”
Modern brides in some remarriages wear white gowns, register for gifts and send formal invita-tions, actions once con-
sidered taboo.“Couples should allow
friends and family to be-stow them with gifts if that is their desire,” she said. “The act of giving gifts can serve as a symbol of support and encour-agement to the couple, and it is okay to celebrate fi nding love again with a bridal shower.”
Honeymoon regis-tries are popular among couples marrying for the second time and are good alternatives for couples who already have tradi-tional wedding registry items.
“Honeymoons are widely acceptable as an after-wedding trip, and
they provide the couple a chance to have prime bonding time,” Stanford said.
Families with children should make sure chil-dren feel included in the process of blending fami-lies, Stanford said.
“Some couples include children in the actual cer-emony, and others use the ceremony to highlight the joining of families,” she said. “Children can decide what to wear to the wed-ding, help shop for sup-plies or help decorate.”

MISSISSIPPI STATE — Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but some couples are using apps to help reduce stress and improve organiza-tion.
Engaged couples can fi nd dozens of free wed-ding-planning apps, said Mariah Smith, assistant professor in the Exten-sion Center for Technol-
ogy Outreach. Brides and grooms can use these apps for tasks such as organiz-ing guest lists, wedding registries and to-do lists.
“Apps are great because you tend to remember at 3 a.m. that you forgot to invite your second cous-in twice removed to the wedding, and using your phone is handier than pulling out a computer,” she said. “You can also fi nd apps that let you scan
barcodes for wedding reg-istries, which may be eas-ier than doing it online.”
While many brides al-ready use Pinterest to get wedding decoration or dress ideas, Kasey Busby, a Senatobia resident who got married in Febru-ary 2012, said she used the Pinterest app to fi nd budget tips and planning timelines.
Busby said she found the app more useful than
traditional organization methods, such as paper planners or folders.
“I didn’t have a wed-ding planner, so I had to keep up with everything on my own,” she said. “It was easy to have it all on my phone to carry with me while I was shopping or talking to caterers and fl orists. I didn’t have to write everything down and keep up with it, which was great.”

NEW YORK — Actor Russell Johnson, who became known to genera-tions of TV fans as “The Professor,” the fi x-it man who kept his fellow “Gil-ligan’s Island” castaways supplied with gadgets, has died. He was 89.
Johnson died Thurs-day morning at his home in Washington State of natural causes, said his agent, Mike Eisenstadt.
Johnson was a busy but little-known character ac-tor when he was cast in the slapstick 1960s com-edy about seven people marooned on an unchart-ed Pacifi c island.
He played high school science teacher Roy Hin-kley, known to his fellow castaways as The Profes-sor. There was seemingly nothing he couldn’t do when it came to building generators, short-wave radios and other contrap-tions from scraps of fl ot-sam and jetsam he found
on the island. But, as Rus-sell would joke years later, the one thing The Profes-sor never accomplished was fi guring out how to patch the hole in the bot-tom of the S.S. Minnow so the group could get back to civilization.
During its three-season run on CBS, critics re-peatedly lambasted the show as insipid. But after its cancellation in 1967, it found generations of new fans in reruns and reunion movies.
One of the most recent of the reunion fi lms was 2001’s “Surviving Gil-ligan’s Island: The In-credibly True Story of the Longest Three-Hour Tour in History,” in which other actors portrayed the original seven-member cast while Johnson and two other surviving cast members narrated and reminisced.
In a 2004 interview, Johnson analyzed the show’s lasting appeal.
“Parents are happy to
have their children watch it,” he said. “No one gets hurt. No murders. No car crashes. Just good, plain, silly fun — that’s the charm.”
He admitted he had trouble fi nding work after “Gilligan’s Island,” hav-ing become typecast as the egg-headed profes-sor. But he harbored no resentment for the show, and in later years he and other cast members, in-cluding Bob Denver, who had played the bumbling fi rst mate Gilligan, often appeared together at fan conventions.
Johnson, Dawn Wells and Tina Louise were the last of the cast’s survivors. Wells played vacationing farm girl Mary Ann Sum-mers and Louise was sexy movie star Ginger Grant. Besides Denver, the other stars were Alan Hale Jr. as Skipper Jonas Grumby and Jim Backus and Nat-alie Schafer as snooty mil-lionaires Thurston and Lovey Howell.
“Russell was a true gentleman, a dear friend with a fantastic wit, and a wonderful actor,” said Wells in a statement on Thursday.
“The other half of ‘The rest’ is gone,” she said, in a reference to the way her character and The Profes-sor were lumped together in the original version of the show’s theme song.
Before “Gilligan’s Is-land,” Johnson had ap-peared in dozens of fi lms and television shows. His TV credits included “77 Sunset Strip,” ‘‘Gun-smoke,” ‘‘Rawhide,” ‘‘Wagon Train,” ‘‘The Lone Ranger,” ‘‘The Twi-light Zone,” ‘‘Ben Casey,” ‘‘Hawaiian Eye” and “Death Valley Days.”
He also appeared in more than two dozen fea-ture fi lms, including “Ma-cArthur,” ‘‘The Greatest Story Ever Told” and cult science fi ction favorites such as “It Came From Outer Space.” In the 1953 Western “Law and
Order,” he took part in a gunfi ght with the fi lm’s star, Ronald Reagan.
Although he didn’t work as often after “Gil-ligan’s Island,” Johnson remained active into the late 1990s, appearing on “My Two Dads,” ‘‘Dynas-ty” and “Newhart.”
The future actor was part of a family of seven children raised in Ashley, Pa.
He joined the Army Air Corps during World War II and served as a B-24 bombardier on missions over the Pacifi c, breaking his ankles in 1945 when his plane was shot down over the Philippine island of Mindanao. He was dis-charged as a fi rst lieuten-ant in November 1945, having earned a Purple Heart and other medals.
Upon his discharge, Johnson enrolled at the Actors Lab in Hollywood under the GI Bill. Fellow actor Paul Henreid saw him in a play there and landed him a role as a vil-
lain in the fi lm “For Men Only.” Until “Gilligan’s Island,” the ruggedly handsome Johnson often played villains.
He married actress Kay Cousins after leaving the Army, and the couple had a son, David, and a daughter, Kim. His wife died in 1980, and his son, a prominent Los Ange-les AIDS activist, died of AIDS in 1994.
After remarrying, Johnson and wife Con-stance Dane moved to Bainbridge Island, Wash., in 1988.
“We didn’t intention-ally set out to move to an island,” the actor, noting the irony, told a reporter in 1993. “We’d lived in Los Angeles for 40 years and just wanted to get away from the heat, the smog and crowds.”
It was also on Bain-bridge Island that John-son wrote the memoir “Here on Gilligan’s Isle.”
Survivors include his wife and daughter.
Russell Johnson, 89, was ‘Gilligan’ professorBY FRAZIER MOORE

In a hydra-headed Os-car race, “American Hus-tle,” ‘‘12 Years a Slave” and “Gravity” all have le-gitimate claims to favorite status. And that’s a good thing.
Even if a front-runner emerges from the much-nominated trio over the six weeks leading up to the 86th Academy Awards on March 2, the credentials of each fi lm should be plenty to heighten nerves and add to the drama on Oscar night.
“It’s an extremely com-petitive year,” said David O. Russell, whose “Amer-ican Hustle” landed 10 nods, tied for most with “Gravity,” in nominations announced Thursday from Beverly Hills, Calif. “It could go any which way.”
Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave,” an un-fl inching depiction of 19th century American slavery, trailed close be-hind with nine nomina-tions, including nods for McQueen, lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and sup-porting players Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o. Since its festi-val debut, it’s been seen by many as the movie to beat, a fi lm bearing heavy historical gravitas that the lighter “American Hustle” and the literally weightless “Gravity” can’t match.
But Russell’s wild Ab-scam comedy, thick in 1970s style, has ridden a wave of enthusiasm for its manic performances. It’s three in a row for Russell, too, who may be due for bigger Oscar wins than his much-nominated fi lms “Silver Linings Play-book” and “The Fighter” managed. A year after “Silver Linings Playbook” landed nominations in all four acting categories, “Hustle” managed the same feat with Amy Ad-ams, Christian Bale, Jen-nifer Lawrence and Brad-ley Cooper all receiving nods.
Then there’s “Grav-
ity,” which, along with nominations for director Alfonso Cuaron and lead actress Sandra Bullock, exerted its force with nominations in all seven technical categories. With $670 million in world-wide box-offi ce, the 3-D space odyssey is easily the most popular of the best-picture nominees, widely credited with reinvigorat-ing the spectacle of the big-screen experience.
The three fi lms will vie in the best picture catego-ry with “Captain Phillips,” ‘‘Dallas Buyers Club,” ‘‘Her,” ‘‘Nebraska,” ‘‘The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Philomena.” If any of them poses a dark-horse threat, it’s Martin Scors-ese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” a nearly three hour-long portrait of he-donism and greed that some have said glorifi es former trader Jordan Bel-fort.
“The Wolf of Wall Street” landed fi ve big nominations, including best director (Scorsese, his eighth for directing), best actor (Leonardo Di-Caprio), best supporting actor (Jonah Hill), and best adapted screenplay (Terence Winter). Di-Caprio, now a four-time nominee, said he felt vin-dicated.
“To be recognized like this and to see that there were enough people out there who said, ‘Look, we get what this fi lm is’ — not what it’s trying to say, but what it’s trying to refl ect,” said DiCaprio. “Nobody wants to be misunder-stood.”
The nominations seemed to favor new blood over esteemed veterans. In an especially strong best actor race, Tom Hanks (“Captain Phil-lips”) and Robert Redford (“All Is Lost”) were sur-prisingly left out. Emma Thompson was omitted from best actress, and her fi lm, Disney’s making-of “Mary Poppins” tale “Sav-ing Mr. Banks,” was over-looked in the best picture category.
The best actor cat-
egory is led by fi rst-time nominee Matthew Mc-Conaughey, whose Texas HIV drama “Dallas Buy-ers Club” earned six nom-inations.
“I’m at home in Malibu, having a cup of tea, catch-ing the sunrise. My new-born’s walking around,” said McConaughey, whose nod capped a re-markable reinvention by the actor after sliding into mediocrity. “What a great alarm clock and news to wake up to this morning.”
Others enjoying their fi rst nod were Ejiofor, McQueen, Fassbender, Barkhad Abdi (a limo driver before being cast as a Somali pirate in “Cap-tain Phillips”), 84-year-old June Squibb (“Ne-braska”) and Jared Leto, who had devoted himself to music before returning to play a transsexual in “Dallas Buyers Club.”
Said Leto: “Yesterday I was doing jury duty, today I woke up with an Academy Award nomina-tion. Only in America.”
There were plenty of familiar faces, though, too. Meryl Streep padded her acting record with her 18th nomination, best ac-tress for her truth-telling, pill-popping matriarch in “August: Osage County.” Streep, Adams and Bull-ock are joined by Cate Blanchett (her sixth nom) for “Blue Jasmine” and Judi Dench (her seventh) for “Philomena.”
Along with Nyong’o, Squibb and Lawrence, the best supporting ac-tress nominees were Julia Roberts (“August: Osage County”) and Sal-ly Hawkins (“Blue Jas-mine”).
Woody Allen scored his record 16th screenwrit-ing nomination for “Blue Jasmine.” Also up for original screenplay are “American Hustle,” ‘‘Dal-las Buyers Club,” ‘‘Her” and “Nebraska.” In the adapted screenplay cat-egory are “Before Mid-night,” ‘‘Captain Phillips,” ‘‘Philomena,” ‘‘12 Years a Slave” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Associated PressNEW YORK — Nielsen
says “Duck Dynasty” drew 8.5 million viewers for its fi fth-season premiere.
That audience was slightly higher than for October’s fourth-season fi nale of the A&E reality show. But last summer, 12 million viewers caught the fourth-season pre-
miere.Set in Louisiana bayou
country, “Duck Dynasty” follows a family that man-ufactures duck calls and loves to go bird hunting.
Wednesday’s airing gave viewers their fi rst fresh look at the series since it got caught up in an uproar.
Phil Robertson, the
family patriarch, was briefl y suspended by A&E after GQ magazine quoted him declaring that gays are sinners and African-Americans were happy under Jim Crow laws. Supporters of Rob-ertson’s right to voice his opinions fl ocked to his defense before the net-work reinstated him.
