Mark Suitor and the slugburger meat that Suitor’s Food Service produces will be part of a Travel Channel series in April.

Mark Suitor wasn't expect-ing to be fi lmed as he made his normal Wednesday rounds for Suitor's Food Service.

The company vice president was dropping off an order at Phillips Grocery in Holly Springs when he noticed nu-merous cameras in the parking lot.

“I thought they were mak-ing a movie,” said Suitor. “They had cameras everywhere.”

All the cameras were part of the Travel Channel's new origi-nal series “Burger Land” that is set to premiere April 15 at 9

p.m. In the series, host George Motz travels the country show-ing the different style of burg-ers.

“Once they told me was what was going on, I told them I might have something they were interested in,” said Suitor.

Suitor pulled out a box of the company's slugburger meat and patties for the fi lm crew to check out.

“They had heard of dough and cereal burgers, but never heard them called slugburg-ers,” added Suitor's, whose business is based in Rienzi.

The crew preceded to fi lm Suitor for about 30 minutes,

pulling up in his truck and unloading at Phillips Grocery. He was also interviewed for the segment that will be called “Burger Land Mississippi.”

Motz, a self-proclaimed ham-burger expert, takes viewers on a taste-testing adventure across America, exploring the nation’s most iconic and historic burger joints to reveal what goes into making these burgers the best in the land, according to the Travel Channel website.

Motz tours a different region each week, focusing on three established burger spots and

GLEN — Residents concerned about possible changes at the Glen Post Offi ce can express their views to postal offi cials in a meeting on Monday.

As part of the Postal Service Post Plan, the offi ce at 2430 Highway 72 East is targeted for a possible reduction in hours of window service. The U.S. Postal Service is holding the meeting at 6 p.m. at Glen Town Hall for questions and additional infor-mation about the plan. USPS management will share results of a survey that was sent to Glen residents and solicit input on the time of day the Glen Post Offi ce will be open.

Glen Municipal Clerk Lynn

Fielding said residents of the area are concerned about service possibly being reduced.

“There needs to be as many people as possible to come to the meeting and show support for the community so we can at least keep the post offi ce open part-time,” she said.

The postal service says it is considering reducing the Glen offi ce’s window service hours to four hours weekdays. Saturday hours would not change. Week-day hours would decrease by two and three-quarter hours.

The current hours are 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays.

Members of the Mayor’s Youth Council Advisory Board met Thursday to de-termine what role the new council will play in the com-munity.

“We decided we really want them to have a knowledge of city government, how the city and its government works,” said Youth Council Coordina-tor Emily McGrath. “Also, we want them to determine what they’d like to see for them-selves.”

The Mayor’s Youth Council will be a group of 21 Corinth High School students who meets with the Corinth may-or each month in an effort to develop individual leader-ship skills to strengthen their communities through vol-

unteer service and increased communication with munici-pal leaders.

Prospective members ap-plied to join the council over the last few weeks. Those picked to be part of the coun-cil will be notifi ed at school on March 18, following spring break.

The fi rst meeting of the council is set for March 21.

McGrath said the Mayor’s Youth Council will seek to work closely with the Missis-sippi Municipal League.

“They have special train-ing and conferences for these youth to help them be better leaders and more communi-ty-oriented. We hope to get plugged in to those,” she said.

my Irwin has been a big supporter of the council since the planning stage begun.

“When we fi rst ap-proached the mayor, he was very excited,” Mc-Grath said. “He’s been in contact with other may-ors and has spoken to them about their youth committees.”

The group is seeking sponsors, not only mon-etarily, but also to help the council fi nd ways to become more part of the community.

Advisor board mem-bers hope the Mayor’s Youth Council will be-come a long-term project they will continue to im-prove upon.

“I want it to be some-thing the kids look for-ward to when they get to high school, to apply to the Mayor’s Youth Coun-cil,” said McGrath.

DanceForce is part of Tim Lancaster’s Train-ing Center.

“We have girls from all over the area,” added Witt. “The competitions we take part in are usu-ally judged by college dance coaches, so this helps prepare the girls for the next level.”

The team is made of 17 young ladies including, Lindee Witt, Tishomin-go County High School; Abby Cutshall, Tisho-mingo County High School; Kaylee Simms, Booneville High School; Kameron Talley, Tisho-mingo County High School; Erica Doran, Alcorn Central High School; Kaitlynn Frazier, Corinth High School; Keely Groves, Boonev-

DanceForce competes in around 4-5 competi-tions a year. The team is open to girls ages 15-21 with tryouts scheduled for the spring.

The group’s next event is set for March 23 in Tu-pelo.

one “newcomer” that’s proven it can hold its own amongst the greats.

“It might help us some,” said Suitor of be-ing on the show. “I just thought it was interest-ing.”

Suitor's has been making slugburger meat since 2000.

“We grind about

1,500 pounds a week,” said the company vice president. “It is grow-ing since the economy is bad and people are trying to eat cheaper … I can't believe how sales have gone up.”

Motz hopes the series catches on.

“The hope is that Burger Land inspires people to get on the road and eat what I like

to call ‘primary source’ American hamburgers,” he said.

Each restaurant fea-tured in the fi lm has been around for more than 40 years, uses only fresh meat, and in many cases can boast the fact that ownership has stayed within the same family.

Unless the survey fi nds that at least 60 percent of residents are interest in a discontinuance study for the Glen Post Offi ce and possibly opening a contrac-tor-operated retail unit, the postal service intends to go

to the four-hour schedule. USPS will make a fi nal de-cision after the public meet-ing based on all of the com-munity input, according to the information distributed to residents.

The Postal Service Post Plan affects many of the na-tion’s smallest post offi ces.

ues today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A whole galaxy of old time items are for sale at the relic show — from bot-tles to boots and bayonets. One will fi nd muskets, muzzleloaders, Colt re-volvers, Bowie knives, old currency, antique books, one-of-a-kind weapons, clothing, photos, display cases, fl ags, bullets and even a bombsight from a Japanese World War II dive bomber.

For area relic hunt-ers like Guntown’s Larry Hutcheson, the event is a time to come together with others who have caught the relic hunting bug.

“It’s a good time,” said Hutcheson. “When I see all this stuff it makes me lust after it, thinking about why I can’t fi nd none of it. And it’s all about the camaraderie. I like to come up here and see what everybody else has found and hear their stories. ”

The stories are a big part of relic hunting, Hutcheson said.

“The best stories are in coon hunting, relic hunt-ing and fi shing,” he said. “You hear more lies about those three things than anything else. Even when they’re telling the truth, sometimes it sounds like lies.”

The show also hails the return of a relic with spe-cial signifi cance to the Battle of Corinth — the sword that belonged to Col. William P. Rogers, the Confederate hero killed in the climactic charge on Battery Robi-nett and namesake of the local Sons of Confederate Veterans camp that pro-duces the relic show each year.

Rogers’ sword trav-eled to Corinth for the second straight year in the company of its new owner, Missouri-based

collector Allen Wandling. Wandling brought an-other item of interest to Corinth this year -- a previously unknown pho-tograph taken in the af-termath of the carnage at Battery Robinett.

Wandling said he hopes one day to be able to loan the sword to the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, as he believes the sword belongs in Corinth, where it is most appreci-ated.

“I want to put the sword on loan here, but on my own terms,” said Wandling. “It’s got to be at the Interpretive Center if it comes back. The peo-ple are so nice here, and it belongs here.”

The collector also has family connections to the Battle of Corinth. Two of his ancestors fought in an Ohio unit and very likely took some shots at the man whose sword he now owns, he said. This year, Wandling brought his son to Corinth to see the place where their ancestors fought.

“He’s really excited to see where his family was,” Wandling said. “Later today, when everything calms down, we’re going to go out to the battlefi eld where he can learn about what happened.”

As of Saturday, the event’s sponsors were al-ready calling the fourth annual Corinth Civil War Relic & Militaria Show and Sale a success.

“It’s been such a success that we’ve had to put deal-ers outside on the porch,” said Buddy Ellis, event co-ordinator, avid relic hunt-er and longtime member of the Col. Rogers SCV camp. “It’s the biggest event we’ve ever had.”

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children under 13.

Today in

History

Today is Sunday, March 10, the 69th day of 2013. There are 296 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlightin History

On March 10, 1913, former slave, abolitionist and Underground Rail-road “conductor” Harriet Tubman died in Auburn, N.Y.; she was in her 90s.

On this date

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell say over his experi-mental telephone: “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you.”

In 1880, the Salvation Army arrived in the Unit-ed States from England.

In 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tenn., to as-sassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudi-ated that plea, maintain-ing his innocence until his death.)

In 1973, the Pink Floyd album “The Dark Side of the Moon” was first released in the U.S. by Capitol Records (the Brit-ish release came nearly two weeks later).

In 1988, Pop singer Andy Gibb died in Oxford, England, of heart inflam-mation five days after turning 30.

Five years ago:

Eliot Spitzer apologized after allegations sur-faced that he had paid thousands of dollars for a high-end call girl; he did not elaborate on the scandal, which drew calls for his resignation.

One year ago:

Rick Santorum won the Kansas caucuses in a rout and Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney countered in Wyoming.

Today’s Birthdays:

Talk show host Ralph Emery is 80. Actor Chuck Norris is 73. Singer Dean Torrence (Jan and Dean) is 73. Rock musician Tom Scholz (Boston) is 66.

Mississippi youth in Alcorn County will join kids in other states, and even countries, all across the world on March 20 to voice their opposition to big to-bacco companies during 2013 Kick Butts Day.

Kick Butts Day is a national day for activ-ism when thousands of youth around the world will speak up and stand out against the tobacco

industry.As part of this year’s

Kick Butts Day celebra-tion, the Mississippi Tobacco-Free Coali-tion of Alcorn County is working with students in Corinth and the sur-rounding areas to help empower youth to speak up and take action.

“Kick Butts Day is an opportunity for partici-pating youth to speak out and tell others they are not going to be in-

fl uenced by pressure to use tobacco products. While Kick Butts Day is offi cially held on one day each year, our hope is that every day will be Kick Butts Day in the fi ght against tobacco,” said Emily J. McGrath, director of MS Tobacco Free Coalition.

Local Views

Several elephants remain in the room, or state house. Among them are Education and Medicaid. Not surprisingly, these two repre-sent the lion’s share of the state’s budget.

Earlier in the year many began to refer to this legislative session as the “education session” due to the number of bills proposing sweep-ing changes to the way Mississippi educates its young. Education came back into the spotlight this week after a meeting of the Senate Educa-tion Committee.

Tuesday the committee met to consider edu-cation bills previously passed by the House.

While several bills were addressed, the one that received the most attention was HB 890, the governor’s “Mississippi Education Works” bill. This bill originally focused on literacy per-formance measures and a pilot program for establishing performance based teacher pay. This is the bill mentioned in a previous column that was amended to include a $5,000 teacher pay raise.

The committee passed HB 890 on Tues-day, but the bill number was the only thing in common with the bill that came over from the House. The committee inserted a “strike-all” amendment that removed all of the House language and inserted the Senate’s ideas on not only literacy programs and merit pay, but also compulsory attendance, abolishing failing schools and the real lightening rod – charter schools. Notably absent from this new omni-bus education bill – the $5,000 teacher pay raise.

The Senate is likely to pass this bill next week. The real test comes later when the House and Senate take this and other education bills to conference, and will be forced to agree on a compromise or let the legislation die.

Mississippi’s Medicaid program is still set to expire at midnight on June 30. Just as no one believes this will actually happen, no one yet knows exactly how the crisis will be averted. The real issue is over whether or not Missis-sippi should expand Medicaid in accordance with Obamacare.

Governor Bryant and some legislative Re-publicans on one side disagree with Demo-crats over whether or not Mississippi Medicaid should be expanded by 300,000 from the cur-rent 640,000. (Mississippi’s population is ap-proximately 3 million.)

Democrats argue that we cannot afford to turn down three years of “free money” from the federal government to provide care for these Mississippians. They say this money would not only provide healthcare, but would also create jobs and tax revenue as it moves through the economy. The governor argues that we cannot afford to be left with an unfunded mandate of billions of dollars after the three-year govern-ment subsidy is scaled back. The reality is that both sides are probably right.

Lawmakers have a long way to go before they will have this matter resolved, but in the spirit of compromise, a group of Democrats sent a letter to the governor suggesting Med-icaid expansion be conditioned on the federal government eliminating another type of fed-eral payment to hospitals known as the “dis-proportionate share.”

Whether it’s this solution or another one, lawmakers must fi nd a compromise. The elim-ination of Medicaid would be catastrophic to health care recipients and providers alike.

On a lighter more practical note, each year thousands of bills are offered that would add to government bureaucracy.

Occasionally there are a few that have an im-mediate impact of convenience on the lives of Mississippians. One such bill that many might fi nd helpful is a new law that allows drivers to show proof of auto insurance on their smart phone instead of the card that is always lost somewhere in our glove compartment.

For those of us who live tethered to our phones, this should come in very handy.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

Most people are not even surprised any more when they hear about someone who came here from Ko-rea or Vietnam with very little money, and very little knowledge of English, who nevertheless persevered and rose in American soci-ety. Nor are we surprised when their children excel in school and go on to profes-sional careers.

Yet, in utter disregard of such plain facts, so-called “social scientists” do studies which conclude that Ameri-ca is no longer a land of op-portunity, and that upward mobility is a “myth.” Even when these studies have lots of numbers in tables and equations that mimic the appearance of science, too often their conclusions depend on wholly arbitrary assumptions.

Even people regarded as serious academic scholars often measure social mo-bility by how many people from families in the lower part of the income distribu-tion end up in higher income brackets. But social mobility — the opportunity to move up — cannot be measured solely by how much move-ment takes place.

Opportunity is just one factor in economic ad-vancement. How well a given individual or group takes advantage of existing opportunities is another. Only by implicitly (and ar-

bitrarily) as-suming that a failure to rise must be due to soci-ety’s barriers can we say that Ameri-can society no longer has opportunity for upward

social mobility.The very same attitudes

and behavior that landed a father in a lower income bracket can land the son in that same bracket. But someone with a different set of attitudes and behavior may rise dramatically in the same society. Sometimes even a member of the same family may rise while a sib-ling stagnates or falls by the wayside.

Ironically, many of the very people who are pro-moting the idea that the “unfairness” of Ameri-can society is the reason why some individuals and groups are not advancing are themselves a big part of the reason for the stagna-tion that occurs.

The welfare state promot-ed by those who insist that it is society that is keeping some people down makes it unnecessary for many low-income people to exert themselves — and therefore makes it unnecessary for them to develop their own potential to the fullest.

The multiculturalist dog-ma that says one culture is just as good as another paints people into the cul-tural corner where they hap-pened to have been born, even if other cultures around them have features that offer better prospects of rising.

Just speaking standard English in an English-speaking country can im-prove the odds of rising. But multiculturalists’ cele-bration of foreign languages or ethnic dialects, and of counterproductive cultural patterns exemplifi ed by such things as gangsta rap, can promote the very social stagnation that they blame on “society.”

Meanwhile, Asian im-migrants or refugees who arrive here are not handi-capped or distracted by a counterproductive social vision full of envy, resent-ment and paranoia, and so can rise in the very same so-ciety where opportunity is said to be absent.

Those “social scientists,” journalists and others who are committed to the theory that social barriers keep people down often cite sta-tistics showing that the top income brackets receive a disproportionate and grow-ing share of the country’s income.

But the very opposite conclusion arises in studies that follow actual fl esh-and-blood individuals over time,

most of whom move up across the various income brackets with the passing years. Most working Ameri-cans who were initially in the bottom 20 percent of income-earners, rise out of that bottom 20 percent. More of them end up in the top 20 percent than remain in the bottom 20 percent.

People who were initially in the bottom 20 percent in income have had the high-est rate of increase in their incomes, while those who were initially in the top 20 percent have had the lowest. This is the direct opposite of the pattern found when fol-lowing income brackets over time, rather than following individual people.

Most of the media pub-licize what is happening to the statistical brackets — especially that “top one per-cent” — rather than what is happening to individual people.

We should be concerned with the economic fate of fl esh-and-blood human be-ings, not waxing indignant over the fate of abstract sta-tistical brackets. Unless, of course, we are hustling for an expansion of the welfare state.

Upward economic mobility is possible in America

Let us pause and re-fl ect. The left’s favorite self-aggrandizing thug has shed this mortal coil. Hugo Chavez, R.I.P.

All the country’s least-re-fl ective and most-refl exive ideologues of the left imme-diately issued warm fare-wells — Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Oliver Stone and, of course, the nation’s 39th president, Jimmy Carter.

Carter praised Chavez for his commitment “to bring profound changes to his country,” which, by install-ing himself as the effective president for life, he cer-tainly did. Carter allowed that he did not agree “with all of the methods followed by his government.”

New York Rep. Jose Serrano rushed to praise Chavez: “He understood democracy and basic hu-man desires for a dignifi ed life.” As a technical matter, Serrano is right: Chavez understood democracy ex-ceedingly well, if by that you mean he understood how to exploit its forms while hol-lowing out its institutions to entrench himself in power in perpetuity.

He displaced a corrupt, conscienceless oligarchy when he took power in

1999 with his own corrupt, conscience-less rule. In a recent re-port, Human Rights Watch detailed how “the accu-mulation of power in the executive and the erosion

of human rights protections have allowed the Chavez government to intimidate, censor, and prosecute critics and perceived opponents.”

Fidel Castro was his mentor, and he propped up the Castro regime with Venezuela’s ample oil. He praised every heinous dic-tator around the planet as a brother-in-arms. He was hell on the plutocrats, and also on the Jews.

All of this should make Chavez an unsympathet-ic fi gure for everyone in America. Not so, sadly. For some, all is forgiven if you hate the rich with a white-hot passion and talk the language of populist redis-tribution, while wrapping your program in a bow of rancid anti-Americanism. Then, every allowance will be made for your thuggery.

Everyone will obsess about your colorful and charming personality. And praise you when you’re gone.

Chavez’s American ad-mirers apparently consider his program as being SCHIP with teeth. They must envy that while we endlessly de-bate ending “tax breaks for oil companies,” Chavez got to run a state-owned oil company and nationalize other industries besides. They must rue that some-one here in the U.S. who speaks the truth about the noxiousness of American power merely gets a tenure-track position, while down in Venezuela he gets to run a country by decree.

During Chavez’s time in offi ce — blessed by high oil prices — poverty fell in Venezuela. But it fell in other countries in the re-gion as well, according to The Economist, thanks to a commodity boom. Chavez left his country crime-rid-den, wracked by infl ation and beset by a shortage of goods.

The night of his death, Ra-chel Maddow had Washing-ton Post columnist Eugene Robinson on her program to discuss him. She asked Robinson in a voice heavy

with sarcasm whether Hugo Chavez was really “the mon-ster” he was made out to be. Robinson explained that Chavez bonded with the poor and had lots of popu-lar support. Maddow gently prodded Robinson to ad-dress criticisms of Chavez for not advancing freedom.

Unable to muster any of the denunciatory venom he lavishes on Republi-cans once or twice a week, Robinson issued forth with a strangely tortured con-struction: “He was not what we would call a lover of de-mocracy as we would like to see it practiced.” Rob-inson noted that Chavez gerrymandered electoral districts, but, hey, “that happens elsewhere as well.” All in all, he was “a man of contradictions.” You know, like Disraeli or Gladstone.

Goodbye, Hugo Chavez. All your friends who got to admire your authoritarian savvy and gross economic mismanagement from a safe distance will miss you very much.

WASHINGTON — Un-derstated. Self-effacing. Nonthreatening. Re-freshingly old-fashioned.

Don’t let these cool descriptors from friends and colleagues fool you: As the vice president’s chief of staff, Bruce Reed plays Mr. Fix-It, guid-ing Joe Biden’s role as a driving force behind the Obama administration’s agenda.

With the White House wrestling Congress over gun control and tax-and-spending priorities, Reed’s deep ties to the Oval Offi ce and reputa-tion for getting along with both parties make him a central character in some of Washington’s biggest political battles.

Those who know Reed say his low-key style and consensus-oriented ap-proach to deal-making are the keys to how he’s managed time and again to bridge an ever-widen-ing gap between Demo-crats and Republicans — even when it rankles partisan Democrats who see concessions to the GOP as selling out.

“It gets character-ized from an ideologi-cal perspective, mean-ing centrist vs. leftist. Bruce would probably see it more as, ‘Are you a reformer and willing to make changes to accom-plish the same goals?”’ said Chicago mayor and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who co-wrote a policy book with Reed after they served togeth-er in the Clinton admin-istration.

It’s a trait that meshes well with the pragmatic, do-what-you-can approach to governing of President Barack Obama’s admin-istration. Reed’s former and current colleagues say his method is also in sync with Biden’s free-wheeling but driven per-sonality.

Once considered a po-tential liability to Obama, Biden has evolved into a serious heavy hitter whose broad portfolio of issues is never far re-moved from the presi-dent’s top priorities. It was Biden, not Obama, who fi nally cut the New Year’s deal with the Sen-ate that averted the so-called fi scal cliff. White House offi cials credit Reed, who turns 53 this month, with steering Biden away from politi-cal pitfalls, helping him gauge which battles to fi ght and just how far to push.

But Reed’s infl uence extends far beyond the vice president’s quarters and deep into the West Wing. He’s considered a full-fl edged member of the economic team, join-ing the treasury secretary and others when the Na-tional Economic Council meets. Last year, he was tapped by Obama’s then-chief of staff, Bill Daley, to help coordinate the State of the Union ad-dress. When Biden nego-tiates with Republicans in Congress, Reed is of-ten the only other person on the phone.

And when Obama’s most senior advisers meet every morning at 7:40 to set the day’s agenda, Reed is there. These mornings, it’s Reed who keeps Obama’s team up to date on one of the administration’s top priorities: gun control.

When the president tasked Biden with craft-ing a series of proposals to respond to a scourge of mass shootings, the role of chief architect fell to Reed, who cut

his teeth on gun issues as Clinton’s domestic policy adviser. The en-suing proposal includes broadly supported mea-sures like universal back-ground checks, but also a controversial ban on as-sault weapons.

It quickly became clear the ban would face near-insurmountable obstacles in Congress. That led many to ques-tion whether the White House proposed the ban to placate those demand-ing tough action, but was ready to drop it if nec-essary to strike a deal. A Senate panel plans to vote on the ban Tuesday, though it has virtually no chance of passing the full Senate. While Biden and Obama say the ban de-serves a vote, both have avoided describing it as a must-have.

“Nobody needed to tell me. I saw Bruce’s fi ngerprints all over it,” said former Clinton ad-viser William Galston, who met Reed in the late 1980s working on Al Gore’s fi rst presiden-tial campaign. “Bruce is not afraid of the politics of aspiration, but he has a healthy awareness of the distinction between the best and the attain-able. He will not counsel people to fall on their sword.”

So far, there have been few outcries from the left over the prospect that the White House will aban-don the assault-weapons ban — perhaps because even many Democrats are on the fence and fear being cast as infringing on lawful gun ownership.

On other issues where Reed has sought consen-sus with Republicans, the backlash has some-times been quite public.

Credited with coining the phrase “end welfare as we know it,” Reed bore the wrath of liberals when he helped Clinton in 1996 secure a welfare overhaul — negotiated with Republicans — that ended some guarantees for poor Americans. A handful of Clinton offi -cials resigned in protest.

Still, even those on the losing end of policy disagreements say Reed somehow manages to keep it from getting per-sonal. Peter Edelman, one of the offi cials who resigned, said even when consensus proved elu-sive, Reed treated his ad-versaries with respect.

“In all the years I worked with him, I only saw him lose his temper once at me,” said Paul Weinstein, an economist who has worked for Reed in various roles since the 1980s. The rare outburst came in 1992, near the end of Clinton’s cam-paign, when Weinstein told Reed he needed to step away from the cam-paign to fi nish his Ph.D. “Bruce just lost it on me,” Weinstein said. “When I tell people I saw him lose his temper, they practi-cally fall over backwards because they don’t be-lieve it.”

Democratic strategist

Kiki McLean, who has known Reed for more than two decades, said his sense of humor is striking considering his unobtrusive manner. “Bruce is not the guy who will stand on the table and sing, but he is the guy who will lean over and whisper something so you have to hold your sides to keep from burst-ing out laughing,” she said.

Raised in Coeur d’Alene, a small Idaho town near the Washing-ton state border, Reed followed his mother, Mary Lou Reed, a Demo-crat and former Idaho state senator, into poli-tics. He moved east for school, studying Eng-lish at Princeton Uni-versity before becoming a Rhodes Scholar and earning a master’s de-gree at Oxford Univer-sity. An avid baseball fan, Reed proposed to his wife, attorney Bonnie LePard, at a Pittsburgh Pirates game; they have two children.

He wrote speeches for then-Sen. Al Gore, D-Tenn., starting in 1985, then joined the Demo-cratic Leadership Coun-cil, a now-defunct group that sought to push the Democratic Party toward the political center. He served for all eight years in the Clinton White House, where he was of-ten the public face of the administration’s policies on education, guns and welfare reform. Later, he ran the Simpson-Bowles commission, tasked with forging a bipartisan defi -cit-reduction deal.

That deal never made it to a vote in Congress, but Reed impressed law-makers from both par-ties. Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, a vocal critic of Obama, recalled how Reed would fl esh out a lawmaker’s idea, providing the anal-ysis and fi gures needed to fully evaluate it.

“It happened again and again,” Crapo said. “Even if it wasn’t necessarily something he would sup-port from his personal political perspective, he was very focused on helping the individual member.”

It’s been just over two years since Biden tapped Reed to be his chief of staff, and his cautious and meticulous manner often serves as a counter-

GREENWOOD — In 2009, a group of fi lm-makers descended on Greenwood, looking for potential locations for their adaptation of the bestselling novel “The Help.” As they drove through the Mississippi town, they watched the homes and haunts of the book’s characters spring up before them.

Thanks to the determi-nation of the fi lmmakers, the project was eventu-ally fi lmed in the Delta town. But fi rst, Missis-sippi had to beat out neighboring Louisiana for the business. That state has one of the coun-try’s most aggressive fi lm incentive programs, an approach that’s spawned a deep infrastructure of production crews, equip-ment suppliers, studios and actors.

Studio fi lms cost mil-lions to make and cre-ate a tizzy of purchases, from construction sup-plies to caterers to hotel rooms. It’s no wonder states around the coun-try use tax incentives to tempt studios, hoping the infl ux of cash will ultimately reward their investment. Mississippi has slowly worked to ex-pand its incentives over the past decade. Now, a new bill would allow the state to offer more mon-ey to individual produc-tions and give back more cash for salaries.

Supporters hope the legislation will ultimately lure bigger-budget fi lms to the state and make it more competitive with Louisiana and other states that offer incen-tives.

Mississippi offers up to $20 million in cash re-bates to motion picture productions per year, a maximum that would remain the same under the new bill. But rebates toward salaries would be raised from $1 million to $5 million, and the total rebate for a production would be raised from $8 million to $10 million.

The rebates are cal-culated as a percentage of production costs, in-cluding the salaries of production staff. The salaries of Mississippi residents are eligible for a 30 percent rebate, while non-residents are eligible for a 25 percent rebate. The new bill would give back an ad-ditional 5 percent if the

employee is a veteran. A production must spend at least $50,000 in base investment or payroll to qualify.

The effi cacy of the in-centives is contested. Studies pile up on the desk of Mississippi Film Offi ce Director Ward Emling. Some argue that the rewards of incentives are fi ckle and fl eeting, the money disappearing as soon as a production leaves town. Others, like a 2012 report by account-ing fi rm Ernst & Young, argue that the incentives must be studied over a period of many years, looking at the indirect ways fi lms benefi t com-munities through tour-ism and job creation.

“I would think that, just like any industry, you have to take the long view,” Emling said.

“The Help,” the big-gest-budget fi lm to shoot in Mississippi since in-centive programs came en vogue, was shot in Greenwood thanks large-ly to the efforts of a few determined natives. Di-rector Tate Taylor and producer Brunson Green are both Mississippians, as is author Kathryn Stockett. Bill Crump, the chair of Greenwood’s economic develop-ment nonprofi t, raised $50,000 to lure the fi lm to town. That money paled in comparison to the savings in Louisiana, but it was a good-faith gesture that gave the city a boost.

Emling and Taylor hope that by raising the salary reimbursement cap from $1 million to $5 million, Mississippi would attract larger fi lms, since Hollywood stars earn bigger pay-checks.

“Mississippi has a great chance to do something with this legislation,” said Taylor, “so people don’t have to struggle the way I did.”

The impact of “The Help” is clear in Green-wood. The cast and crew ate daily at local restau-rants, including the Delta Bistro, where sales nearly doubled. They stayed in hotels like the Alluvian, and frequented local bars and grocery stores. They bought set supplies at antique shops and home improvement stores. They also employed local people for jobs in cater-ing, sign-making and as extras.

Even those who didn’t

receive money directly from the hands of the cast and crew benefi ted from the sudden infl ux of cash, symbolized by the ubiquity of the $50 bills used to pay per diems.

“There was just money fl oating around,” said Cale Ainsworth, owner of Ainsworth Sign Co. “If it hadn’t been for the movie, 2010 was not go-ing to be a banner year.” Ainsworth said he made around 100 signs for the movie, including several that continue to hang in the Fondren neighbor-hood of Jackson, where a few of the fi lm’s scenes were shot.

Over the course of the shoot, Crump estimates Greenwood reaped $13 million of the fi lm’s $25 million budget. The city still gets many visitors who take tours of the locations and enroll in “The Help” themed cook-ing classes at the Viking Cooking School.

At the end of the pro-duction, the Economic Development Council raised $30,000 from the cast and crew to help the historically black neigh-borhood of Baptist Town, where the scenes fea-turing the homes of the maids were fi lmed. An additional $150,000 was raised for the cause dur-ing a premiere in Madi-son, Miss, which will go toward the construction of a new community center. Baptist Town re-mains the impoverished neighborhood it appears to be on fi lm. The house that served as the main character Abilene’s home is boarded over and cov-ered with graffi ti.

Crump said that if states look at the eco-nomic impact of a fi lm on a macro-level, they may be hard-pressed to fi nd a bump. It’s the local story that’s evident.

The fi lmmakers be-hind “The Help” aren’t alone in their apprecia-tion of Mississippi’s po-tential. Film festivals are mushrooming around the state, and in recent years the incentives have drawn a number of fi lms with smaller but substantial budgets, like James Franco’s adapta-tion of “As I Lay Dying,” based on the book by William Faulkner. Direc-tor Wes Benton recently committed to shooting three fi lms here in the next two years. Director

weight to the more verbose and unre-hearsed Biden. In that short time, Biden has played a leading role in winding down the war in Iraq, negotiat-ing a fi scal-cliff deal with Senate Republi-cans, nudging Obama toward an embrace of gay marriage and spearheading Obama’s push on gun control.

Reed declined to be interviewed for this story. But Galston, the former Clinton ad-viser, said Reed values clarity of expression above almost all else.

“He edits documents the way a sculptor works with a block of marble: by subtrac-tion,” said Galston. “You get rid of what you don’t want, and what’s left is what you have in mind.”

United States, killing more than 400,000 people every year. Each year, 3,900 Mis-sissippi kids under the age of 18 become new, daily smokers. Sixty-nine thou-sand Mississippi kids now under 18 will ultimately die prematurely from smok-ing, according to the Cam-paign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

“Mississippi’s kids play a huge role in helping to re-duce youth tobacco use in our state,” said Roy Hart, director of the Missis-sippi State Department of Health (MSDH) Offi ce of Tobacco Control. “The kids participating in Kick Butts Day 2013 are sending two very important messages: they want to raise aware-ness of the problem of tobacco use in their com-

munity and they want to urge elected leaders to do more to protect them from tobacco.”

Through MSDH’s lo-cal tobacco-free coalitions, young advocates take part in a variety of tobacco pre-vention activities through-out the school year, includ-ing working with elected leaders to develop policies that reduce youth tobacco use and exposure to sec-

ondhand smoke, and edu-cating their peers about the risks of tobacco use.

Daniel Zirilli, who com-pleted the forthcoming “Blunt Force” last year, plans to return to shoot in Mississippi again.

“In New Orleans, people are kind of sick of fi lm pro-duction. They tend to jack the prices up because they can. I want to pay a fair price for what I get,” Zirilli said.

Zirilli and other fi lm-makers marveled at the freshness of Mississippi’s locations. Directors ac-customed to shooting in California and New Or-

leans are excited to fi nd locations that have never been shot before. This is especially evident in “The Help,” where the inimi-table landscape and char-acters’ homes take center stage.

Emling said none of this would be possible without the incentives. Even the producers of “The Help,” who were incredibly com-mitted to fi lming in Mis-sissippi, said they would not have shot the movie here without the state’s incentive program.

“Not a chance,” Taylor said.

NEW YORK — At bar-becue joints, coffee coun-ters and bottle-service nightclubs, a coming clampdown on big, sug-ary soft drinks is begin-ning to take shape on ta-bles and menus in a city that thrives on eating and going out.

Some restaurants are ordering smaller glasses. Dunkin’ Donuts shops are telling customers they’ll have to sweeten and fl avor their own cof-fee. Coca-Cola has print-ed posters explaining the new rules, and a bowling lounge is squeezing car-rot and beet juice as a potential substitute for pitchers of soda at family parties — all in prepara-tion for the nation’s fi rst limit on the size of sugar-laden beverages, set to take effect Tuesday.

Some businesses are holding off, hoping a court challenge nixes or at least delays the restric-tion. But many are get-ting ready for tasks in-cluding reprinting menus and changing movie the-aters’ supersized soda-and-popcorn deals.

At Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, customers still will be able to order margari-tas by the pitcher, cock-tails in jumbo Mason jars and heaping plates of ribs. But they’ll no longer get 24-ounce tumblers of soda, since the new rule bars selling non-diet cola in cups, bottles or pitch-ers bigger than 16 ounc-es.

“Everything we do is big, so serving it in a quaint little 16-ounce soda cups is going to look kind of odd,” owner Josh Lebowitz said. Nonethe-less, he’s ordered 1,000 of them for the North Carolina-themed restau-rant’s fi ve Manhattan lo-cations, rather than take on a fi ght that carries the threat of $200 fi nes.

“As long as they keep allowing us to serve beer in glasses larger than 16 ounces, we’ll be OK,” Lebowitz reasoned.

Beer drinkers can breathe easy: The re-striction doesn’t apply to alcoholic beverages, among other exemptions for various reasons. But it does cover such bever-ages as energy drinks and sweetened fruit smooth-ies.

City offi cials say it’s a pioneering, practical step to staunch an obe-sity rate that has risen from 18 to 24 percent in a decade among adult

New Yorkers. Health of-fi cials say sugar-fi lled drinks bear much of the blame because they carry hundreds of calories — a 32-ounce soda has more than a typical fast-food cheeseburger — without making people feel full.

The city “has the ability to do this and the obliga-tion to try to help,” the plan’s chief cheerleader, Mayor Michael Bloom-berg, said last month.

Critics say the regula-tion won’t make a mean-ingful difference in diets but will unfairly hurt some businesses while sparing others. A cus-tomer who can’t get a 20-ounce Coke at a sand-wich shop could still buy a Big Gulp at a 7-Eleven, for instance, since many convenience stores and supermarkets are be-yond the city’s regulatory reach.

New Yorkers are di-vided on the restriction. A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found 51 percent op-posed it, while 46 percent approved.

“I don’t know if the state should be our sur-rogate parent,” Peter Sar-faty, 71, said as he drank a diet cola with lunch in Manhattan this week. “You get the information out there, but to tell peo-ple what they can or can’t do? As if it’s going to stop them.”

Business organization ranging from the mas-sive American Beverage Association to a local Ko-rean-American grocers’ group have asked a judge to stop the size limit from taking effect until he de-cides on their bid to block it altogether. He hasn’t ruled on either request.

Many businesses aren’t taking chances in the meantime.

Dominic Fazio, the manager of a Penn Sta-tion pizzeria, has stopped ordering 32-ounce and 24-ounce cups, though he calls the regulation “ridiculous.”

“But I guess the law is the law, right?” said Fazio, who put up an ex-planatory sign Coca-Cola Co. provided. The Atlan-ta-based soda giant said in a statement that help-ing small businesses pre-pare was “the responsible thing to do.”

Managers at rapper Jay-Z’s 40-40 Club were busy this week making sure they wouldn’t get in hot water over carafes of soda and other sweet mixers that accompany bottle service, spokes-woman Lauren Menache said. The carafes are slightly bigger than 16 ounces; city lawyers have indicated such contain-ers should pass muster.

Dunkin’ Donuts shops, meanwhile, have set out colorful fl iers explaining the complex rules sur-rounding coffee.

Lots of lattes are ex-empt because they’re more than half milk. And it’s OK for customers to load their large and extra-large coffees with all the sugar or sweet fl avoring they want. But the chain will no longer do it for them, for fear of running over the limit of roughly three calories per ounce.

Starbucks, meanwhile, believes most of its prod-ucts won’t be affected and isn’t making any im-mediate changes, spokes-woman Linda Mills said.

Even some businesses that specialize in big so-das aren’t making moves — yet — in light of the lawsuit and the city’s pledge not to impose fi nes until June. Until then, violations would just spur a notice.

At Dallas BBQ, “Texas-size” 20-ounce sodas are staying for now, said Eric Levine, one of the direc-tors.

Switching to 16 ounc-es would mean order-ing roughly 10,000 new glasses for the New York-based company’s 10 loca-tions, including a Times Square spot that seats 1,000 people. And cus-tomers wouldn’t feel they were getting the same deal: double the soda for little more than the price of the 10-ounce size, Levine said.

The rule’s effects may be particularly pro-nounced at movie the-aters, where belly-buster sodas are as familiar as coming attractions. Big beverages also account for about 10 percent of profi ts, according to court papers.

“People just like that comfort, while they’re sitting there — to make sure they have enough to drink for the whole mov-ie,” Russell Levinson, the general manager of Movieworld, mused this week.

The family-owned theater sells soda in 20-ounce bottles and 44-, 32-, 22-, and 12-ounce cups. The theater is look-ing at getting 16-ounce cups, considering two-drink and refi ll specials and retooling all its drink-and-popcorn com-bination offers, Levinson said.

Some businesses, though, are adapting to the new rule with gusto.

At Frames Bowling Lounge, a Manhattan spot that mixes bowling with an upscale bar, the families who pack the lanes on weekend days will no longer be offered pitchers of soda as part of a party package, execu-tive general manager Ay-man Kamel said.

Instead, they can get individual, eight-ounce cups of soda — or pitch-ers of the low-sugar, house-made juices that he and staffers spent an afternoon tasting this week. They experiment-ed with such options as carrot, beet and mint-and-citrus.

“It’s going to cost a little bit more money, but nothing is more valu-able than having freshly squeezed juice available for our clients,” he said. “We’re taking advantage of the situation to pro-mote the good side — healthy options.”

WASHINGTON — Two people familiar with the White House delib-erations say President Barack Obama is poised to select Justice Depart-ment offi cial Thomas Perez as the next labor secretary.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the offi cial an-nouncement has not yet been made.

Perez is head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and previously served as Maryland’s labor secre-tary.

He is expected to have solid support from or-ganized labor and the Hispanic community, which is eager to have Hispanic representation in Obama’s cabinet.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

Daily Corinthian • Sunday, March 10, 2013 • 9A

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may receive credit, but you also attribute it to your teachers. The ones who have been af-fectionate and selfl ess with you in the past have nurtured your ability to give in the same way to others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). How can you care and be de-tached at the same time? You’ll fi gure that out and more today as life brings you assistance and lessons both practical and spiritual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is one accomplishment that once achieved will make many other areas of your life fall into place. It may take weeks to fi nally get there, but after today’s efforts, you’ll be well on your way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Is naivety a negative trait? That depends on whether it is caused by a lack of experience or re-fusal to experience. You’ll help someone who is currently un-able or unwilling to help himself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll

be in a quiet mood, and if your environment matches, you’ll be golden. There’s strength to be gained from the experience of your thoughts. Your energy in-creases because you let less of it escape through voluminous words.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The correlation between your inner and outer world will be increasingly pronounced. As your unspoken inner will aligns with advantageous events you’ll know that you’re on the right track.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t be tricked into thinking that someone can’t live without you. Do what feels comfortable. Times like this, it’s benefi cial and healthier for all involved to let people fend for themselves.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s amazing what a smile can do to light up someone else’s world and open doors. You’ll smile of-ten and in many directions. This difference in attitude will bring new developments.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your ability to envision the future will be highlighted. What you speak will in some way an-nounce the next moment even when you have no idea what that moment holds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The best goals are as chal-lenging as they are realistic. You’re the expert in this regard and the restless feeling inside you declares that it’s about time you found a new target to aim for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are usually responsive to those who reach out to you. When you’re not, there are spe-cifi c reasons. Those reasons are probably mysterious now, but take notes. Later you’ll solve this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll develop new objectives. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. It’s better to name a narrow focus and be successful there than try for a broad accomplishment.

DEAR ABBY: I met a man 15 years ago who has re-cently come back into my life. I hadn’t seen him in years. He says he wants to be with me and marry me, and I very much would like to be his wife. I live in one state, he lives in another and his work is in yet another state. He does travel — not much —but some.

The problem is I think he’s married to his job. He says he wants to be home with me once we are married. But then he says that once his work slows down, he won’t earn as much.

I’m not sure how I can do this, with him working in one state and living in another. Sometimes I wonder if he’s really in love with me or if he’s stringing me along. How can I be with him if I never see him? If you have any advice for me, please let me know soon. — HEARTS AWAITING

DEAR HEARTS AWAIT-ING: If a “little voice” is telling you this man may be stringing you along, make no hasty de-cisions. It’s important that you visit him at his home at least a few times, get to know his friends and family, if he has any, and see how you would fi t in.

You also need to decide how

you would spend your “alone” time while he’s working. If you are an independent type, you’ll be able to fi ll the time. But if you’re not, then face the fact that as much as you care for him, you’d be miserable. So look carefully before you leap to the altar.

DEAR ABBY: I am an edu-cated, open-minded, well-spoken, well-mannered single man. I enjoy life and smile just about every waking moment.

My problem is that people — especially women — think I’m gay. I assure you, I’m not! One woman recently lambast-ed me, saying her “gaydar” is never wrong, so I should just admit it to myself.

This issue has prohibited me from dating, especially over the last few years, because ladies see me as a peer in-stead of potential partner. Also, people tell others that I’m gay, so there are precon-ceived opinions.

Please don’t think I am anti-gay. I have several gay male and female friends. I don’t think my speech infl ections or mannerisms make people as-sume this. I don’t know what to do. Help! — STRAIGHT, BUT NOT NARROW IN AL-ABAMA

DEAR STRAIGHT: Be-

cause there appears to be some confusion about your sexual orientation, I recom-mend you talk frankly with some of your female and male friends and ask what it is about you that has created this impression. Obviously there is something about the way you present your-self that’s causing it, and the quickest way to fi nd out what it is would be to ask direct ques-tions of the people who know you best.

DEAR ABBY: My dear friend, God rest her soul, had a saying I think everyone could benefi t from:

“You are the master of the unspoken word. Once it is spoken, it is your master for-ever.”

Comments, Abby? — DIS-CREET MIDWESTERNER

DEAR DISCREET: Your dear friend was a smart wom-an. Too many times we say things that we wish we could take back. The same is true for the written word.

The Baldwyn Bearcats celebrate as the buzzer sounds on the Class 2A Boys Championship game. Baldwyn defeated Bassfield 66-46 for the state championship title. 

STARKVILLE, Miss. — For fi rst-year Mississippi State coach Rick Ray, there’s a silver lining to every cloud. Despite an unending string of injuries, suspensions and defections, Ray guided his team to a 74-71 overtime vic-tory over Auburn on Saturday behind 19 points from Craig Sword.

The win meant Mississippi State didn’t fi nish at the bot-tom of the Southeastern Con-ference.

It meant they fi nished next to last.

“You get a chance to read some things, and people talk about us being the worst SEC team in history,” Ray said. “Well that can’t be possible if we fi nished thirteenth out of 14.”

Sword hit two crucial free throws in overtime, but he

wasn’t Mississippi State’s only hero.

Mississippi State (9-21, 4-14) trailed by three late in regulation, but Colin Borchert hit a deep 3-pointer to force overtime. Borchert fi nished with 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting and had 13 rebounds.

“I just went out there with a free mind,” Borchert said. “I was feeling it. I just let it ride.”

Mississippi State was 25 of 62 (40 percent) from the fi eld, and hit 8 of 17 3-point-ers. The Bulldogs overcame 17 turnovers and won the re-bounding battle 46-42.

Sword was 7 of 17 from the fi eld with six assists, two blocks and two steals. Roquez Johnson and Fred Thomas both chipped in 10 points.

“I was wondering where our offense was going to come

from,” Ray said. “Sword got in the lane and created some things for himself in there. He’s that guy for us.”

Thomas scored most of his points late, hitting two 3-pointers in close situations.

“Fred had been in a funk,” Ray said. “Not just on offense, but on the defensive end, too. He had his head down, no energy. Once he did that, had some energy and made some stops on defense. That was huge for us.”

The win moves Mississippi State into the thirteenth seed in the upcoming SEC tourna-ment, just ahead of Auburn. The Bulldogs will play South Carolina on Wednesday night for the third time this season.

Auburn (9-22, 3-15) had a chance to win the game in regulation, but Chris Denson couldn’t get his runner to fall.

“Coach said to cut him off

going left,” Sword said. “Ev-ery time he went left, he was fi nishing.”

Auburn was 28 of 68 (41 percent) from the fi eld, and hit only 3 of 17 3-pointers. The Tigers turned the ball over 14 times.

In overtime, a 3-pointer by Thomas put Mississippi State up 71-69, but a goaltend-ing call on the other end tied the game again. After a foul, Sword hit both free throws and Johnson added another for the win.

Mississippi State led early, but a 17-4 run by Auburn mid-way through the fi rst half gave the Tigers a 22-16 lead. The teams were tied 24-24 at the half. Auburn opened up a six-point lead early in the second half, but was never able to hold it for more than a few minutes.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Mississippi coach Andy Ken-nedy responded to one of the Rebels’ most defl ating upset losses this season by inces-santly reminding his players that if they pulled together, they could still capture an all-important top-four seed in the Southeastern Conference tournament.

“I talked about it every day simply because it was some-thing that was attainable to us. We didn’t need anyone else’s help,” Kennedy said. “We put ourselves in harm’s way. We realize that. But we can still control our own des-tiny when there’s opportuni-

ties.”The Rebels responded as

Kennedy hoped.Marshall Henderson scored

22 points, Murphy Holloway added 16 and Mississippi clinched a double-bye in the Southeastern Conference tournament with an 81-67 victory over LSU on Saturday.

The triumph in Baton Rouge came on the heels of an 87-83 home victory over Alabama and capped a confi -dence-building week that the Rebels needed after a stun-ning 73-67 loss at Mississippi State on March 2.

“Some days we look like one of the best teams in the SEC. Some days, we look like one of the worst,” Holloway

said. “Today, we looked like one of the best.”

Jarvis Summers added 15 points and Nick Williams 11 for Ole Miss (23-8, 12-6), which will head to the league tournament in Nashville next week knowing it will play in Friday’s quarterfi nal round.

Johnny O’Bryant III had 17 points and 12 rebounds for LSU (18-11, 9-9), which need-ed a victory to fi nish higher than the eighth seed and avoid a potential quarterfi -nal pairing with league-lead-ing Florida. Andre Stringer scored 18 for the Tigers, who fi nished as the ninth seed, setting up a fi rst-round bye and second-round matchup with No. 8 seed Georgia on

Thursday afternoon.“When you go into the

conference tournament, any-thing can happen,” O’Bryant said. “It’s a whole new sea-son, so we’re ready to put it in front of us. We’re going to be ready to play.”

LSU absorbed an early blow when Charles Carmouche, who had scored 20 or more in fi ve of the previous six games, landed hard on his left hip when he was bumped by Hol-loway on a drive to the hoop. He returned after receiving treatment in the locker room, but fi nished with only eight points.

Ole Miss led by as many as 19 after a 14-4 run that included a pair of inside baskets by Terry Brutus and Hender-son’s 3. LaDarius White’s free throw closed out the surge, making it 60-41 with 11:24 to go.

After that, LSU coach Johnny Jones lamented, “We just couldn’t recover against a really good team.”

“You have a setback, and if you’re going to have it at this time of year you’d much rather have it now than in your next game,” Jones added. “It gives us an opportunity to go back to the drawing board.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Florida coach Billy Dono-van said there was noth-ing wrong with his team’s execution down the stretch Saturday against Kentucky.

The shots were there. They just weren’t falling.

The 11th-ranked Gators didn’t score in the fi nal 7½ minutes and lost 61-57 to Kentucky in their regular-season fi nale.

Florida (24-6, 14-4 Southeastern Confer-ence) scored with 7:36 left on Scottie Wilbekin’s 3-pointer that turned out to be the team’s fi nal points. The Gators went 0 for 11 after that and com-mitted fi ve turnovers in coughing up the lead.

“For the most part, we defended pretty well,”

Donovan said. “We just couldn’t make it. We don’t need to shoot 50 percent. But if we make a couple of chippies around the basket and maybe one jump shot, you’re right there to win the game, and you probably do win the game.”

It wasn’t that the Gators were taking forced shots during their drought. Patric Young missed a

layup and a point-blank jump hook. Wilbekin also missed a layup.

And when Donovan drew up a play to get an alley-oop dunk for Casey Prather, the play worked. But Wilbekin threw a bad pass, and Prather couldn’t handle it. The ball sailed out of bounds.

With about 15 seconds left and Kentucky up 59-57, Kenny Boynton pulled

up for a 15-foot jumper to tie the game. The ball glanced off the back rim and bounced out of bounds to the Wildcats (21-10, 12-6).

“Honestly, we just missed some shots that we should have made,” said Erik Murphy, who led all scorers with 17 points. “Ev-erybody had some good shots that they could have made and we just missed

them. They stopped us, played defense and caused some misses. That’s what happens.”

Despite the loss, Flor-ida fi nished the season as SEC regular-season

champions for the second time in three seasons and third time in seven years. Five of the Gators’ six SEC championships have come during Donovan’s 17-year tenure as coach.

History1B • Daily Corinthian Sunday, March 10, 2013

(The following information was obtained in part from The Tishomingo County News, the Vidette and Belmont News, Iuka, May 12, 1988.)

Molly’s and Claude’s Ham-burgers! How they interrupted the hunger and fi lled the stom-achs of a generation of Tishom-ingo Countians! It was a terri-bly sad day for Iuka when their café doors were closed after 44 years of business.

Claude’s fi rst location was at the corner of Fulton and East-port Streets. From there, he moved to the middle block of Main Street downtown in 1925. At that time the café was a long, narrow building; dimly lit, and offered barely enough room to

squeeze through, climb up on a stool at the long counter, and en-joy the aroma of hamburgers and onions while waiting for an or-der. The building was only 7-foot by 3-inches wide and 40 feet long, and Molly and

Claude kept it full of satisfi ed customers.

The menu was simple, and it offered just what the pub-lic demanded–hamburgers. The burgers were better than the ordinary and had the spe-cial “Claude Curtis fl avor.” In

1925, along with hamburgers, beverages offered were coffee or a choice of three soft drinks -- Coke, Cherry Cola, or Peach Whip. A meal, hamburger and drink, was 10 cents.

Claude Curtis Hamburgers were sold in Iuka for 5 cents for 30 years. In 1954, when the price of the bun increased, the Curtis’ found it necessary to raise the price to 10 cents where it remained until their retire-ment.

Eight years prior to retire-ment, Claude and Molly pulled up stakes from the building they had occupied for so long and built, at the same site, a roomy brick café with a spa-cious counter, tables and

booths, and a juke box. This is the building which later housed Main Street Restaurant and is now home to Friendly Spider. In this larger and more effi cient facility, they were better able to accommodate the increased number of workers who needed quick service on a lunch break with limited time to spare.

Finally, after 1,440,000 ham-burgers and 80 tons of meat, the Curtises had enough and sold their thriving business to Bobby and Ruby James. Coca-Cola Bottling Works of Corinth presented Claude a gold Coca-Cola bottle, and friends and well wishers from all the world called and wrote their thanks and their regrets. Letters from

Sam Traylor, Jr.; Jim Jack-son (Houston, Texas); Captain James F. Oaks (Vietnam); and Leon Bruton (Marshall Islands) were received and printed in Iuka’s local newspaper, The Vidette. American servicemen were especially fond of Claude as he often fed them free in his restaurant and gave each de-parting serviceman from Tisho-mingo County a silver dollar on behalf of the local American Le-gion Post.

(Daily Corinthian columnist RaNae Vaughn is board mem-ber and in charge of marketing and publications for the Tisho-mingo County Historical & Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 203, Iuka, MS 38852.

Curtis’ 5-cent hamburgers were great for hungry stomachs

RaNae VaughnHistorically

Speaking

When I was a younger man I couldn’t get enough of the old western novels.

I was particularly im-pressed with those law-men and trackers who were always on the trail after the bad guys. Even with the barest amount of “sign” they could follow the track over mountains and across deserts.

Sometimes when I’m searching old military records I’m reminded of those trackers, real and fi ctional, who could follow the trail like any blood-hound. I like to believe that most of the time I do just as well with historic research, nothing gets by me. Other days I feel I couldn’t track a horse if I was tied to his tail.

This has been one of those weeks.

I set out to tell the tale of Corinth resident and soldier Thomas Dudley Duncan.

How hard could it be?I ended up covering my

desk with stacks of books, piles of old newspapers, the U.S. Census reports, a couple of letters and the Corinth City Directory of 1875.

To tell the truth, fol-lowing the man was not a problem. He wrote a book about his Civil War days and told his story with fl air and panache. No, the problem I had was the relatively simple task of fi guring out which unit he was attached to, and this was what led me on a merry chase.

Tom Duncan was born in Jacinto in 1847, the son of William and Rebec-ca Duncan, who reared their seven children on the family farm. Wil-liam gave up farming in 1856 and moved to Cross City and set up shop as a merchant. He must have done well as he was able to build a fi ne home on the north-west corner of Bunch and Fillmore.

When the war broke out, young Tom was anx-ious to join the Confed-eracy. Since he was only a 15-year-old at the time, his father was not too keen on the idea. He did consent to Tom enlisting in the Corinth Rifl es un-der his neighbor William Kilpatrick.

After a matter of weeks the elder Duncan had sec-ond thoughts about his boy being in the infantry. Due to Tom’s “youth and rather frail body,” Wil-liam secured a transfer and had his boy dropped from the company rolls. Tom was then allowed to enlist in the Tishomingo Rangers, a cavalry com-pany being raised by an-other neighbor, William Inge, a unit which would eventually be part of the 12th Battalion of Missis-sippi Cavalry.

Are you starting to see my dilemma?

The boy hadn’t even left Corinth and I had three units to research.

Papa Duncan no doubt allowed this transfer to

the Rangers as Tom’s older brother John was the 1st Lieutenant of the company. To sweeten the deal, William gave Tom a fi ne horse as all Confederate cavalrymen had to provide their own mounts.

When orders came for the troops in Corinth to be sent off to war, the Tisho-mingo Rangers were not included. Several of the men, led by Captain Inge, secured transfers to regi-ments headed for combat and the number of men in the Rangers dwindled to a mere handful.

1st Lt. John Duncan became the new leader and they were rechris-tened Duncan’s Compa-ny. There weren’t enough men in the Rangers and they were compelled to join with another compa-ny from Alabama under Captain (and future gen-eral) Philip D. Roddey. Yet another name change was in the works and they were soon known as Rod-dey’s Company.

From here on it gets a little confusing.

Roddey’s Company was assigned to the 4th Battalion of Mississippi Cavalry, also known as the 2nd Battalion Missis-sippi Cavalry, aka Pope Walker’s Battalion, aka Baskerville’s Battalion. To top it off, there was another unit with the name “Tishomingo Rang-ers” who were assigned to Ham’s 1st Battalion State Cavalry, aka 16th Battalion of State Cavalry and then attached to the 12th Battalion Partisan Rangers under William Inge who had recruited the original Tishomingo Rangers in the fi rst place.

At this point my head was spinning.

All of the confusing name changes did little to affect young Tom, who

was delighted to be a cav-alryman. After a short bit of training in Columbus, the company was tempo-rarily attached to Forrest’s Regiment of Cavalry.

Buckle up, here we go again.

Researching this one regiment was a joy be-cause they were known at different times as For-rest’s Regiment, the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry, the 18th Tennessee Cavalry Battalion, 26th Battalion, Balch’s Battalion, Kelley’s Regiment and McDon-ald’s Battalion.

Take your pick.Tom’s stint with For-

rest’s Cavalry led him to

the battle at Fort Donel-son on the Cumberland River and then a return to his home in Corinth. When Tom came up the front steps, he found Gen. Beauregard had taken up residence in his father’s home and Duncan House was now the headquarters of the Confederate army’s number two man.

As a result of Beaure-gard’s visit to the family fi reside, Thomas was re-assigned, again, this time as a courier on the gen-eral’s staff. It was Tom’s knowledge of the land be-tween Corinth and Pitts-burg Landing that led to his reassignment. His

duties during the Battle of Shiloh led him to ev-ery corner of the battle-fi eld and it’s doubtful that anyone saw more of the terrible fi ght than the 16 year-old courier. He had his horse shot out from underneath him, but es-caped with only a minor scratch over his eye.

On his return to Corinth, young Tom was detailed away from his company yet again. He was assigned to Captain Samuel Lockett, the West Point trained engineer who surveyed and super-vised the construction of the Confederate earth-works around Corinth. It was Tom’s job to lead the engineer to the north and east of town and help him select suitable sites for what we know as the Be-auregard Line.

Forrest had been wounded in the clos-ing action of the Battle of Shiloh and when he recovered to once again take the fi eld, Duncan’s/Roddey’s Company was permanently assigned to Forrest’s Cavalry.

Ah, another transfer for young Tom, but at least this time to a familiar unit.

In the days following the Battle of Chickam-auga, in September of ‘63, General Forrest had a minor falling out with his boss General Braxton Bragg. Okay, it was more than a disagreement. For-rest threatened fi rst to “slap his jaws” and then to kill his supervisor.

For that lack of discre-tion, Forrest was ban-ished to West Tennessee with a mere 300 men of his cavalry division. He would have to rebuild his force from recruits in West Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi. Tom Duncan was trans-ferred for the fi nal time

and assigned to Forrest’s Escort and for the rest of the war he was associ-ated with the Confederate chieftain.

At long last the war was over and the 19-year-old veteran of 52 engage-ments began to make his way home.

He paid a visit to his father, who had moved to Pontotoc during the Union occupation. In June of ‘65 he fi nally re-turned to a Corinth that looked far different from the one he had left three years before. A regiment of Negro troops was the occupying military force in town and many of the buildings he had known had been burned to the ground.

Tom had a small stake of cash to start his new life and he found em-ployment as a clerk in a downtown store. He moved back into the fam-ily house and restored it to its former beauty.

A few years later he married Miss Juliette El-gin of Huntsville, “a beau-tiful and petite young lady of 118 pounds.” The cou-ple had a pair of daugh-ters and life was good. His brother-in-law Clifton Elgin came to town and opened a combination undertaking, furniture and cabinet shop on the corner of Waldron and Franklin. Tom worked there as his assistant and partner.

In 1881 Thomas Dun-can was given a plum of a job when he was ap-pointed U. S. Post Master of Corinth by none other than his former adver-sary, President Ulysses S. Grant.

In his declining years Tom was known as “Colo-nel” Duncan though he had never risen above the rank of private. It was an honorary title given to an honorable man, described in a Memphis newspaper as “a scholarly man … one of the city’s most brilliant literary men and some of his contributions to the historical literature of his native city and state ought to and no doubt will be permanently preserved.”

And his work has been preserved. You can down-load “The Recollections of Thomas D. Duncan” for free at Google Books.

It wasn’t easy to track the path of Tom Duncan during the four years of the Civil War, but it was a rewarding journey. For you see, I’ve had an inter-est in Tom for a very long time. For several years I lived in the Duncan House on Polk Street. I did quite a bit of writing under the same roof where another Tom wrote his book.

It was indeed a confus-ing trail at times. But in the end, it was less like tracking some unknown historic fi gure and more like following the path of an old friend.

STARKVILLE — Per-sonal touches in a wed-ding can take the cer-

emony from textbook to storybook, and they may even save the new couple some money.

“Sometimes the sen-timental things are less expensive than the new-est and most fashionable things, and they certainly make the wedding memo-rable and personal,” said Bobbie Shaffett, fam-ily resource management specialist with the Missis-sippi State University Ex-tension Service.

While family and the commitment of a mar-riage are more important than the wedding event, many opportunities ex-ist to make the ceremony personal and special, she said.

“A bride can express her individuality by hav-ing her attendants each carry a long-stem rose rather than big fl ower bouquets,” Shaffett said.

Bridesmaids can wear differently styled dresses of the same color. This lets attendants choose a style that is fl attering and refl ects their personal style. When bridesmaids go less formal, the groom and his attendants can wear black suits rather than rented tuxedoes.

Susan Cosgrove, an Ex-tension family resource management area agent in Newton County, said simplicity in weddings is a good thing.

“You don’t have to do things the traditional way. You can use simple decorations and simple fl owers,” Cosgrove said. “There is a prevalent phi-losophy of getting back to the basics and paring down the excess.”

Beth Bell, child and family development spe-cialist in Tallahatchie County, said every aspect

of a wedding is custom-ized these days.

“The possibilities of having a personalized wedding are endless,” Bell said. “It is the bride and groom’s special day, and the wedding and re-ception should refl ect their personalities and in-terests.”

Special touches can in-clude a ceremony that in-cludes a Bible verse that is special to the couple or a specifi c song performed at the wedding or recep-tion.

Some weddings have themes, although these are more commonly seen expressed in the rehearsal dinner, the reception or on a smaller scale at the groom’s table with his cake.

“A theme is a great way to personalize part of the wedding celebration,” Bell said. “These can highlight a particular ac-tivity the bride and groom like to do together, such as outdoor activities or tailgating.”

Sometimes, personal-izing a wedding ceremony also brings the cost down. Bell encouraged prospec-tive couples to draw on the talents and generos-ity of friends and family with certain tasks. Artistic friends can help with in-vitations or decorations, musician friends can per-form in the wedding or at the reception, and those with cooking skills can form a catering crew.

“Ask for help and uti-lize family members and friends with talents and access to items that might be needed for the wed-ding,” Bell said. “Not only can this save some mon-ey, but it makes the event so much more personal and memorable.”

“TGIF” is something that’s often said when people are looking for-ward to the ending of the traditional work week.

A true sentiment in-deed, but next week area sportsmen will have an-other reason to scream the four capital case let-ters aloud. Friday will be a beginning rather than an end. The second most popular of all the hunting seasons will be opening.

The Mississippi spring wild turkey season opens March 15 and runs through May 1.

Only one adult gobbler or one gobbler with a six-inch or longer beard may be taken per day, not ex-ceeding more than three throughout the duration of the season.

Many of today’s hunters

take pride of their skills in working a turkey call, sometimes p l a c i n g too much emphas is on sound-ing sweet instead of

assessing the whole pic-ture prior to and during a hunt.

The sweet talk does sound good and it can be helpful in fooling a wise old tom, but it’s only a small portion of what it takes to garner success in turkey hunting. Other factors which play into being successful include: knowing the lay of the land like the back of your hand, knowledge of the

turkey’s roosts and travel routes, mastering excep-tional woodsman skills, and knowing where and how to set up in order to boost the odds.

By knowing the ter-ritory and possessing a general knowledge of how turkeys use it, the hunter can use his woodsman skills to best maneuver the landscape and get a wing up on his quarry. This is something that should be learned prior to a hunt so obstacles such as creeks, thickets, steep hillsides or some other abnormal feature doesn’t hinder impediment if a gobbler responds to your calling. Turkeys will fl y over said barriers during normal travel, but rarely will they cross over when responding to hen calls.

The hunter has to make it as easy as possible for a tom to come in. If a bird gobbles, for instance, and you are aware there’s a barrier in the way, don’t just sit down and hope for the best. Back out of the area and make a wide circle around to put your-self on the same side of the terrain feature as the gobbler.

How you set up is criti-cal. Beware of the skinny tree and don’t set up in brush so thick that it makes it cumbersome to swing your gun. Where possible, set up against a tree wider than your shoulders, remain still, and trust your camo to conceal your silhouette from the approaching tom.

The best case scenario

for an opening day hunt, or any other hunt for that matter, is to get in as close as possible to a gobbling tom on the roost. Using the available cover and getting within, say, 60 to 80 yards lessens the chance of hens pulling the tom away. Once situated, make a few soft tree calls and most likely it won’t be long before you’ll be headed back to the truck with the bird draped over your shoulder.

Some toms aren’t so easy, though; stubborn and wise old birds are known to fl y down in the opposite direction from what was expected. If a problem such as this con-tinues to be encountered, it can be remedied by tak-ing a buddy along and positioning him in the

general area of the tom’s back-ended escape path. The bird will be greeted with an unexpected sur-prise.

Fortunate hunters who are lucky enough to bag a bird by the end of the day next Friday should be re-served the right to make a change in the old saying, at least for this year.

“TGITS”, thank good-ness it’s turkey season!

TSEs are caused by un-usual infectious agents known as prions. CWD at-tacks the brain of infected animals, causing the ani-mal to become emaciated, display abnormal behav-ior, lose bodily functions and eventually die.

First recognized in 1967 as a clinical wast-ing syndrome, CWD is a disease of farmed and free-ranging deer, elk

and moose. Although this disease shares certain features with other TSEs, it distinctly affects only these animals. There is no known vaccine or treat-ment for this terrible dis-ease and though research is underway to develop live-animal testing, cur-rently the only means of positive diagnosis is through the examination of the brain tissue of a dead animal.

The exact mechanism of transmission is un-clear, but evidence sug-gests CWD is transmitted directly from one animal to another through saliva, feces and urine contain-ing abnormal prions shed in those fl uids and tissues.

This includes transmis-sion through eating grass growing in contaminated soil.

CWD progresses rather slowly. Because of its long incubation period, a sus-ceptible animal may not show signs for a number of months, or even years, after it is infected. As the disease progresses, however, the animal will gradually show changes in appearance and behav-

ior. These changes may include signifi cant weight loss, stumbling, tremors, blank facial expressions, lack of coordination, ex-cessive drooling, sup-pressed appetite, teeth grinding, listlessness and other outward, notable signs. It has even been noted that animals with this disease emit a smell like meat starting to rot.

Although CWD is con-tagious and fatal among

deer, elk and moose, re-search suggests that hu-mans, cattle and other domestic livestock are resistant to natural trans-mission. While the possi-bility of human infection remains a concern, it is important to note there have been no verifi ed cas-es of humans contracting the disease.

However, to minimize the risk of exposure, hunters should consult their state wildlife agen-cies to identify any areas where CWD occurs and take appropriate precau-tions when hunting in those areas.

In June of 2012, the U. S. Department of Agri-culture Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service announced an interim fi nal rule to establish a CWD herd certifi cation program along with mini-mum requirements for interstate movement of deer, elk and moose in the United States. This proac-tive step should help to control the spread of this dreadful disease.

LOS ANGELES — Re-turning to the mystical land of “The Wizard of Oz” took more than 70 years and several hun-dred millions dollars.

Disney releases its highly anticipated pre-quel to the 1939 movie classic on Friday. Direct-ed by Sam Raimi, “Oz the Great and Powerful” ex-plores the origins of the wizard (James Franco) and the witches (Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz) in a three-dimensional Oz.

The $200 million pro-duction, not counting an-other $100 million in es-timated marketing costs, is a huge gamble for ev-eryone involved, consid-ering “The Wizard of Oz” is among the most endur-ing and beloved fi lms of all time. Even Raimi, di-rector of the fi rst three “Spider-Man” movies, described the project as “daunting.”

The risk is compound-ed by a general box-offi ce slump and a poor show-

ing for last weekend’s $200 million big-screen take on another popular tale, “Jack the Giant Slay-er,” based on “Jack and the Beanstalk.”

“The plus side is that there’s such incredible awareness of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ that it’s going to translate into a mammoth opening weekend for ‘Oz the Great and Powerful,”’ said Dave Karger, chief correspondent for Fan-dango.com. “The dan-ger is that many people’s natural tendency will be to compare this to ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and there’s no fi lm that will ever live up to that.”

According to a survey done by the site, nearly all those buying tickets for the new “Oz” fi lm have seen the original, and the fi lm is far and away the most popular of the week, comprising almost 80 percent of tickets sold.

Franco has loved the world created by L. Frank Baum since he fi rst saw the 1939 movie on TV as a kid. It inspired him to read all of Baum’s books,

which led him to other fantasy fare such as “Alice in Wonderland” and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. But the notion of revisit-ing the Land of Oz with an A-list director wasn’t enough to lure Franco to the leading role.

“I already had a lot of faith in the movie because Sam was attached, but as an Oz fan, I wanted to be sure that the approach was sound,” the actor said. “They very smartly did not just do a boy version of Dorothy and have the same trip through Oz.”

For one, Franco notes the wizard is a con man and his trip through Oz is very different than Doro-thy’s was. “He’ll be getting into awkward situations, basically kind of bounc-ing off of Oz in ways that Dorothy didn’t,” the actor said.

While the new “Oz” has plenty of familiar elements — the yellow brick road, Emerald City, witches, munchkins (now multi-ethnic) — “the ways they’re interacting with the protagonist (are)

completely different,” Franco said.

As the fi lm opens in sepia-toned 1905 Kansas, Franco’s Oscar Diggs is a carnival magician who dreams of fame and for-tune at any cost. When a twister whisks him to a fantastical land bearing his stage name — Oz — whose inhabitants believe him to be a wizard sent to save them, he can’t be-lieve his luck. Power and riches are practically his for the taking.

But fi rst, he faces three witches, none of whom are exactly as they seem. Oz befriends a few locals, including a fl ying mon-key (Zach Braff) and a china doll (Joey King), and eventually makes the plight of the people of Oz his own.

Like Franco, Raimi grew up loving the origi-nal “Oz” fi lm.

“I remember it being the scariest movie I’d ever seen in my life and also the most touching mov-ie, the saddest, sweetest thing I’d ever seen,” he said. “It was that spirit

of sweetness, of charac-ters becoming complete by the end of the story — that was the most power-ful thing I took away from the 1939 classic and the thing we tried collectively to put in our picture.”

Some critics have ques-tioned the casting of Fran-co as the wizard. The AP’s Christy Lemire wrote that he’s “too boyish for the role ... neither charismatic nor self-loathing enough.”

Yet Raimi believes Franco was the perfect ac-tor to portray the wizard: “He was born to play the part.”

Franco and Raimi are personal friends, and the director said he’s seen the actor’s growth as a per-former and an individual since they fi rst worked to-gether on 2002’s “Spider-Man.”

“I knew James was a moody dreamer, and that’s who Oz is,” Raimi said. “He dreams of being this great man, even if he doesn’t know what great-ness is.”

The director knew Franco could embody

both the selfi shness — which Raimi had seen in the actor when he was younger — and the heart of the wizard.

“Because James had, in his life, been all of these things, I knew that if he could grab a hold of them and recognize them and hold up a mirror to himself — however ac-tors do that — he could channel everything he was through this charac-ter and really bring him to life like no one else,” Raimi said.

Franco said playing the role “was really like I was stepping into the imagi-native world of my child-hood.”

And coming into Oz through the wily wiz-ard, whose origins were never fully explored in the Baum books, is an in-spired way to revisit the world, he said.

“It’s a great way to re-turn to Oz through a character that you sort of know but not really,” the actor said. “Because of that, it’s a great entry that feels familiar and new.”

Disney, Sam Raimi gamble on return trip to OzBY SANDY COHENAP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — For a book that has yet to be re-leased, Sheryl Sandberg’s “Lean In” — part feminist manifesto, part how-to career guide — has got a lot of people talking.

In the weeks leading up to the book’s release on Monday, pundits and press hounds have been debating its merits. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called Sandberg a “PowerPoint Pied Piper in Prada an-kle boots,” and countless bloggers have suggested that Facebook’s chief operating offi cer is the wrong person to lead a women’s movement.

“Most of the criticism has to do with the posi-tion she is coming from,” said Susan Yohn, profes-sor and chairwoman of Hofstra University’s his-tory department.

Sandberg, 43, hopes that her message of em-powerment won’t be ob-scured by the lofty pedes-tal from which she speaks. But is the multi-million-aire with two Harvard degrees too rich to offer advice? Too successful? Does her blueprint for success ignore the plight of poor and working-class women? Does the book’s very premise blame wom-en for not rising to top corporate positions at the same rate as men?

And just how big is her house?

The questions keep coming largely because few people have actually read the book. But in it, Sandberg seems to have foreseen much of the crit-icism. The book acknowl-edges that critics might discount her feminist call to action with an easy-for-her-to-say shrug.

“My hope is that my message will be judged on its merits,” she writes in the preamble.

Sandberg recognizes that parts of the book are targeted toward women who are in a position to make decisions about their careers. Still, she writes, “we can’t avoid this conversation. This issue transcends all of us. The time is long over-due to encourage more women to dream the pos-sible dream and encour-age more men to support women in the workforce and in the home.”

Published by Alfred A. Knopf Inc., “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead” will be launched Thursday with a reception in New York City hosted by Mayor Mi-chael Bloomberg and Ari-

anna Huffi ngton.It’s true that Sandberg

is wealthy. She also has a supportive husband. Mark Zuckerberg is her boss. And, yes, her home in Menlo Park, Calif., has 9,000 square feet.

But as a woman in Silicon Valley, Sand-berg hasn’t exactly had it easy, and her tale shows she’s no armchair activ-ist. After all, not many women would march into their boss’ offi ce and demand special parking for expectant mothers. But Sandberg did just that when she worked at Google. Company found-ers Larry Page and Sergey Brin complied.

After Sandberg moved to Facebook in 2008, she became even more out-spoken on the issues fac-ing women in corporate America. At a time when other executives, male or female, have largely stayed quiet, Sandberg has delivered speeches on topics such as “Why we have too few women lead-ers.”

And she’s no worka-holic. In an age of endless work hours, Sandberg is famous for leaving the of-fi ce at 5:30 to spend time with her family. She does admit, however, to pick-ing up work once her kids have gone to bed.

Of the many inspira-tional slogans that hang on Facebook’s walls, her favorite asks “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” “Lean In” is about pushing past fear.

“Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face,” she writes. “Fear of not being liked. Fear of making the wrong choice. Fear of drawing negative attention. Fear of overreaching. Fear of being judged. Fear of fail-ure. And the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daugh-ter.”

Sandberg peppers the book with studies, reports and personal anecdotes to back up her premise — that for reasons both in and out of their control, there are fewer woman leaders than men in the business world and be-yond. For example, the Fortune 500 has only 21 female CEOs. Sandberg is among the 14 percent of women who hold execu-tive offi cer positions and the 16 percent of women who hold board of direc-tor seats, according to Catalyst.org.

For minority women, the numbers are even bleaker. Women of color, she writes, hold just 4 percent of top corporate

jobs and 3 percent of board seats.

“A truly equal world would be one where wom-en ran half our countries and companies and men ran half our homes. I be-lieve that this would be a better world,” she writes. “The laws of economics and many studies of di-versity tell us that if we tapped the entire pool of human resources and tal-ent, our collective perfor-mance would improve.”

At less than 200 pages, plus a good chunk of foot-notes, “Lean In” does not purport to be the end-all solution to inequality. It deals with issues Sand-berg sees as in women’s control.

“Don’t leave before you leave” is one of her catch-phrases, aimed at success-ful women who gradually drop out of the workforce in anticipation of children they may someday bear. “Make your partner a real partner” is another. She says everyone should en-courage men to “lean in” at home by being equal partners in parenting and housework.

“Lean In” is, by and large, for women who are looking to climb the corporate ladder (which Sandberg calls a jungle gym), and ideally their male supporters. She hopes it’s the start of a conversation. To that end, Sandberg plans to donate all of the proceeds to her newly minted nonprofi t, LeanIn.org.

Sandberg writes about the “ambition gap” be-tween men and women in the workplace — that while men are expected to be driven, ambition in women can be seen as negative. She writes about parents’ gender-based approaches to child rearing that teach girls to be “pretty like mommy” and boys “smart like dad-dy,” as she’s seen on baby onesies sold at Gymboree.

And she writes about “feeling like a fraud” — that insidious notion, felt largely by women but men as well, that success is due not to one’s own merit but to some sort of gross oversight or acci-dent.

In the end, “Lean In” is a call to action to make it easier for women to be-come leaders. It’s a call for women to take space at the table, raise their hands, speak up and step up. It’s a personal account of a woman who, through a mix of talent, luck and ambition, but also with plenty of internal and ex-ternal obstacles along the way, managed to do that.
