Snazzier stopping: Board OKs new signs

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Board of Aldermen approved the purchase of decorative stop signs for the downtown area.

Tuesday’s action includes 110 signs at a cost of $48,620 from Nickels Signs & Graphics.

A competing quote from H&H Sign Shop was $59,884. The city is matching up to $25,000 in private funding for the project to upgrade the downtown stop signs.

“We’ve had a number of private businesses contribute to this project,” said Alderman

Andrew “Bubba” Labas. “Without them, it wouldn’t have been possible.”

The CARE Foundation is also contributing.

The signs will have black decorative posts, and some will be

t appears prayers were answered when a break in the clouds allowed the sun to peek through for the annual Walk for Life.

Retiring Oasis Medical Center Executive Director Martha Jobe could be heard singing

“Here Comes the Sun” as she walked through the crowd lining up to register to walk for the 23rd annual Walk for Life.

She greeted the walkers with a big smile of welcome.

New incoming Oasis CEO Matt Mitchell said, “We are so glad the weather cleared. So many people prayed over this.”

One walker standing in line for registration said, “We would have been here anyway ... no matter what.”

Such was the dedication of the people who came out to walk in support of the OMC’s annual fundraiser.

Corinth residents can help shape the city’s path for the next couple of decades as the Envision Corinth 2040 planning process invites public input.

The first public meeting, set for Thursday, April 27, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Corinth Elementary School gym, will present Orion Planning and Design’s initial research findings for the city and begin to identify the city’s strengths and opportunities. It is part of a comprehensive city planning initiative designed to establish the long-range vision and direction for Corinth.

Mayor Tommy Irwin encourages citizens to get involved.

“The plan process gives us an excellent opportunity to form a long range shared vision and shape the future of a great city,” he said.

The year-long process will involve multiple opportunities for citizen input through surveys, focus groups, workshops and public meetings.

“We have been very impressed by the city’s eagerness to get the process moving,” said Bob Barber, partner with Orion. “Advisory group response has been excellent.

Corinth represents one of the most well-positioned small

cities in the region, with outstanding potential. We strongly encourage the community to take advantage of the opportunity to engage. The city will be better for it.”

The advisory group includes 28 individuals who are guiding the overall initiative. In addition to the Hernando office of Orion, the planning team includes Alta Planning+Design and the Stennis Institute of Government.

The process, as outlined by Orion, includes: • Studying and understanding Corinth’s current conditions, including population, growth prospects, economy, natural environment, development patterns, attractiveness, preservation and mobility.

Corinth native earns education’s top honor

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

As a young girl she often “played school” with her Barbie dolls.

Soon she would follow in her mother’s footsteps and grow up to be recognized as one of Mississippi’s top educators.

Corinth native Jessica (Atkins) Broome was named administrator of the year by the Mississippi Department of Education earlier this month.

As principal of Pearl Junior High School, Broome was hailed by MDE for helping improve school gradua-

tion rates and increasing the share of students meeting learning goals.

She told the Daily Corinthian being recognized by MDE was the greatest honor of her career, one that began in the Corinth School District.

“From a young age I have always wanted to be an educator,” Broome said.

She credits her mother – Patricia Atkins of Corinth – for instilling her with a love for education.

“My mother was a public school teacher for 37 years,” said Broome, a 1995 CHS grad. “She always taught me

WALK CONTINUED FROM 1A

Oasis is a non-profit ministry that offers pregnancy medical services to hundreds of individuals from Alcorn and surrounding counties. OMC is able to provide services at no cost due to the support of local individuals, churches and businesses.

By helping raise money for the center, walkers play a vital part in the work of this ministry, according to representatives for the center.

“Your hearts are so precious to want to do this.

God sees your heart and I know He’s just smiling down on each one of you,” said Jobe, addressing the crowd.

Jobe asked each business, church, or club participating to call out.

Hands shot up throughout the crowd announcing who the walkers represented. Participating in the 2017 Walk for Life were: Waldron Street Christian Church, Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Corinth, First Baptist Boonev-

to God. Number one — that He’s the Creator and He is honored above all and that every life is precious to Him. Before He formed each one of us in the womb, He knew us. He knows every one of you.”

Early statistics for 2017 were shared by Jobe. She said OMC had already have seen almost 250 women this year, so far. One person this year already accepted Christ, and 179 spiritual conversations took place where OMC was able to “gently talk about the Lord for those who wanted to hear.” So far, OMC reported five people have chosen life and 43 women stated that their intention before leaving the OMC was to carry out their pregnancy to full term.

Last year, Jobe reported, OMC saw over 500 people and provided over 1,400 visits and services for them.

“Each one received just the kindness and love of God and the ministry of love, kindness and

respect ... and that’s what you’re helping to support,” said Jobe to the gathered group. “If it were not for people like you, this would not be possible.”

One woman shared her personal testimony of abortion recovery and why she chose to participate in the Walk for Life. She said she wanted to spare any woman the pain and anguish she suffered by choosing to take the life of an unborn child.

Mitchell told the crowd that 18 people chose life last year.

“Oasis is working. We are doing what we strive to do,” said Mitchell.

“Our mission statement is to share the Gospel and to uphold the sanctity of all human life and we are fulfilling that mission statement with your help.”

Assessor’s office begins reappraisals

BY JEBB JOHNSTON

Today is Sunday, April 23, the 113th day of 2017. There are 252 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 23, 1789, President-elect George Washington and his wife, Martha, moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York.

On this date In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his “Man in the Arena” speech at the Sorbonne in Paris.

In 1935, Poland adopted a constitution which gave new powers to the presidency.

In 1940, about 200 people died in the Rhythm Night Club Fire in Natchez, Mississippi.

In 1954, Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit the first of his 755 major-league home runs in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. (The Braves won, 7-5.)

In 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for assassinating New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. (The sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.)

In 1971, hundreds of Vietnam War veterans opposed to the conflict protested by tossing their medals and ribbons over a wire fence in front of the U.S. Capitol.

In 1987, 28 construction workers were killed when an apartment complex being built in Bridgeport, Connecticut, suddenly collapsed.

In 1992, McDonald’s opened its first fast-food restaurant in the Chinese capital of Beijing.

The Alcorn County Tax Assessor’s Office is beginning the property reappraisal process.

As mandated by law, the process begins anew every four years. Tax Assessor Kenneth Brawner received the Board of Supervisors’ informal approval this week to proceed with hiring part-time help to complete the process, which is done in-house rather than contracted to an outside group.

Brawner estimated the cost for

part-time help will not exceed $40,000.

“I believe that it’s a tremendous savings to the county to do it in-house,” said Brawner.

“Plus, if somebody’s got a problem, they can talk to the person who did it.”

If the county hired an outside group to complete the reappraisal, the estimated minimum cost is $225,000.

The office also completes the reappraisals for the municipalities of Corinth, Farmington and Rienzi.

In other business before the supervisors: • For the sheriff’s department, the board approved the purchase of a 2011 Dodge Charger from the city of Farmington using insurance settlement and other funds to replace a wrecked vehicle.

• The board approved the promotion of correctional officer James Talley to the rank of sergeant.

• Sheriff Ben Caldwell reported monthly correctional facility billing for March of $221,265.60

for state inmates; $1,700 for state inmates housed in county jail beds; $50,375 for the county jail; $569.27 for Juvenile Detention Center meals; $31,000 for Corinth PD inmates; $1,400 for Farmington PD inmates; $4,300 for the medical reimbursement; and $564.63 for inmate cable. The month’s total billing is $311,174.50.

• The March tax settlement for general county is $243,556.07; for roads, $14,171.64 per district; and for bridge and culvert, $3,425.31 per district.

Prentiss County reports no major damage

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Two more tornado warnings were issued Saturday, the first for Prentiss County at 2:43 and a second for south Tishomingo County at 2:56.

In both cases there were reports of a tornado on the ground, one at New Site and another near Tishomingo State Park. Officials in both counties searched-

for damage and as of 4 p.m., no damage was reported in Prentiss County and Tishomingo County had several trees down — two on county roads and several on houses with no injuries.)

BOONEVILLE — Friday evening’s “surprise” severe storm system sent residents to safe areas, but Prentiss County is reporting no major damage.

“It was a surprise,” Prentiss

County Emergency Management Director Bud Lindsey told the Daily Corinthian. “All of the sudden, it was right on top of us.”

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for east Tippah County and west Prentiss County about 7:45 p.m.

Friday, creating a social media frenzy and WTVA-TV stayed live with weather.

Casino revenue rebounds strongly in March JACKSON — Gamblers lost more at Mississippi casinos in March, as revenue rebounded from a dismal February.

State Revenue Department figures show gamblers lost $202 million last month, up 7 percent from $188 million in March 2016.

March is traditionally the most lucrative month for Mississippi casinos, fueled in part by income tax refunds.

The 12 coastal casinos posted revenue of $110 million, up from $103 million in March 2016.

Mississippi expands private school funding for dyslexia JACKSON — Mississippi is expanding a program that lets students with dyslexia receive state money to attend private schools.

Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1046 on April 13, and it becomes law July 1.

The new law will expand the availability of state money through 12th grade.

cipal in Brandon. After moving to Atlanta for a short time, she worked with the Georgia Department of Education, Division of School Improvement. She would also earn her doctorate in education in 2010 from Georgia State University.

In 2011, she took over as principal of Pearl Junior High School – a sixth, seventh and eighth grade “B” rated public school with 929 students about 15 minutes east of Jackson. Now the principal is being honored for her many accomplishments

while at the helm of the school.

“The most rewarding part of my job is being afforded the opportunity to work every day with the fun (and always curious) students of Pearl Junior High School,” added Broome. “It is also a privilege to serve alongside a tremendous staff and school board who strive daily to serve the individual and collective needs of our students and who are driven by the belief that failure is not an option.”

In addition to her mother, other family members living in Corinth include father, John Atkins and sister, Jennifer Latch.

“We had a report of a funnel cloud being spotted,” said Lindsey. “But it never touched the ground.”

There were no reports of structure damage, closed roads or power outages, he said.

There were a few trees down and a couple of outside trampolines went for a ride, “but that was about it,” added the EMS director.

Across The Region Booneville City leaders ponder options for cemetery BOONEVILLE — City leaders will be looking at options to deal with a cemetery that has fallen into disrepair.

Alderman-at-Large Harold Eaton asked the board to consider what can be done to clean up the old Fairview Cemetery on Lake Street.

The property is not owned by the city and City Attorney Daniel Tucker reminded the board the issue has come up in the past but there are issues regarding its ownership.

Tucker said the cemetery property is owned by a church in Tishomingo County that is no longer in existence and they have had no luck locating anyone willing to take responsibility for it. Because it is privately owned the city can not legally go on the property to clean it up.

Eaton said he would be willing to volunteer as

a private citizen to help clean up the property since he has received numerous complaints regarding its condition.

Other board members also expressed willingness to volunteer if necessary.

Mayor Derrick Blythe suggested first contacting local community service organizations to see if any of them would consider taking it on as a volunteer project. He said he would work on that and report back to the board at a later date.

The board also agreed to send Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer Charles Sanders to an upcoming meeting in Tupelo on dealing with dilapidated housing to learn more about options available to deal with the issue.

The board voted to formally rescind the city’s gas rate schedule policy adopted in 1989. Blythe noted the move was due to “potential litigation with the PSC (Public Service Commission)” but did not elaborate.

Letter To The Editor

Dog park would benefit community To the Editor: I hope my fellow dog lovers can get behind encouraging the city of Farmington to consider adding an off-leash dog park to its phase two development of its gorgeous park.

I live in downtown Corinth and the older I get; the harder it is for me to maneuver the broken sidewalks in Corinth as I walk my dog. And, I have no fenced-in yard, so we walk a lot. He also loves to play and be social with other dogs.

I’ve all but given up on one being developed in Corinth. That park is beautiful, but it offers nothing for a resident and his dog, or a senior citizen who doesn’t have kids or grandkids playing sports. Heck, we can’t even walk our dog on leash in the walking area which is forbidden! So, my tax contribution isn’t providing as much as I would like.

Off-leash dog parks can even be self-sustaining with a small yearly membership fee.

If you are so inclined, I would encourage you to email the Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry at info@farmingtonms.com. Thank you.

Seat belts save lives It pains us to keep having this discussion but once again we need to talk. About seat belts. And why so many of us aren’t wearing them.

There is some good news. We are doing better. More than 80 percent of us regularly use seat belts, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It’s the other 17 percent or so that bother us.

In Mississippi, two out of every three people killed in a highway crash weren’t wearing seat belts, the Mississippi Department of Transportation says.

And it’s our young people who are most likely to be killed.

There is no excuse. It’s a matter of personal responsibility. You are responsible for your children. It is your duty as a parent to teach them how to navigate life as safely as possible.

Teach them to buckle up whenever they get in a car.

Make it fun. Make it an adventure.

Make it a habit.

Most of us have been reaching for those seat belts for years. It’s as natural as putting the key in the ignition. It’s that easy.

Now, to the adults who refuse to take this most basic of safety steps, shame on you for setting such a poor example for children.

You’re putting your life at risk every time you fail to buckle up.

If you don’t buckle up, you are more likely to suffer a serious injury.

And no, you aren’t likely to drown in a submerged vehicle if you buckle up.

You are more likely to be ejected from the vehicle and be dead before it ever reaches the water if you don’t.

It’s time to end these senseless deaths.

Buckle up.

Prayer For Today My Father, give me a sense of nearness to thee when I may be faltering from weariness in well doing. May I hold to my determinations. Help me to know what is useless, that I may not give unnecessary energy, and to know what is worth while, that I may acquire strength through the power of truth. Amen.

A Verse To Share For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and selfdiscipline.

A Trump victory on the border Donald Trump’s saber rattling may or may not deter Kim Jong Un, but it’s had an effect south of the border.

In the first few months of this year, illegal border crossings have dropped precipitously. It is an early proof of concept that yes, it is possible to secure the border and a victory, even if a provisional and incomplete one, for President Trump’s enforcement agenda.

Once you stripped away the impossibilities from Trump’s rhetoric on immigration during the campaign -- there wasn’t going to be a wall along the entire border paid for by Mexico, nor were there going to be mass deportations and a Muslim ban -- the core of his message was a commitment to crack down on illegal border crossings.

This is happening. It has been reported in the press, but it almost never makes it into the conversation about his first 100 days.

If Trump had promised to almost immediately reduce illegal border crossings from Mexico to a 17-year low, it would have been dismissed as bombast. But here we are. On the border, there is cause to be, if not

tired of, at least encouraged by all the winning.

According to the Department of Rich H o m e l a n d Lowry S e c u r i t y , there were National arReview 17,000 rests at the border in March, the lowest figure since 2000, and down significantly from the nearly 60,000 arrests in December. The evidence on the ground backs up the statistics. A week or so ago, the Los Angeles Times reported that it found a “once-bustling crossing point” along the Rio Grande “desolate.”

The message has been received that President Trump is, to coin a phrase, a bad hombre. His tough rhetoric alone would be enough to make would-be migrants think twice about coming across the border.

But the administration also has tightened up on enforcement; both immigration arrests and so-called detainers — requests to local law enforcement to turn over to the feds illegal immigrants in jail — have increased.

The fees charged by socalled coyotes to bring people across the border have risen, reflecting the higher risk. A jump from, say, $3,500 to $8,000 represents an enormous new expense for a mother in Honduras, especially if her chances of staying in the United States are diminishing.

The early trend at the border is a rebuke to the fatalists who have argued that it’s impossible to reduce illegal immigration because it is the product of ineluctable economic forces. It is certainly true that jobs in the U.S. are a magnet. But the cost-benefit calculation people make when considering to come here illegally or not is obviously subject to change based on changing incentives.

Mexico and its southern neighbors haven’t suddenly become better countries over the past several months. Nor has the U.S. jobs market become less alluring -- indeed, it might be getting stronger. Enhanced enforcement, real and perceived, is clearly affecting the decision-making of would-be migrants.

Some caveats. First, the Trump administration will have to continue to

strengthen enforcement.

Otherwise, illegal immigration will bounce back to its normal trend. The experience after the 1986 amnesty confirms this. The law was supposed to include tougher enforcement, and this expectation initially suppressed immigrant flows.

When it became clear that it was all talk, illegal immigration continued as before.

Second, visa overstays are a large and perhaps growing contributor to illegal immigration. This deserves as much attention as the border.

Finally, the administration will have to resist the urge to declare victory and go home. The moderates in the White House may be tempted to soften Trump’s image via a grand bargain on immigration, arguing that it’s “mission accomplished” on enforcement and time to pivot to a largescale amnesty.

Despite the hostile press coverage, what Trump has done so far on immigration is hardly radical and basically represents a return to the pre-Barack Obama status quo, when the federal government didn’t openly flout its own laws. For now, it has gotten results.

Is democracy in a death spiral?

“You all start with the premise that democracy is some good. I don’t think it’s worth a (expletive).

Churchill is right. The only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that’s any better. ...

“People say, ‘If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better.’ I say Congress is too damn representative.

It’s just as stupid as the people are, just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish.”

This dismissal of democracy, cited by historian H. W. Brands in “The General vs. the President: MacArthur and Truman at the Brink of Nuclear War,” is attributed to that great populist Secretary of State Dean Acheson.

Few would air such views today, as democracy has been divinized.

Indeed, for allegedly hacking the Clinton campaign and attacking “our democracy,” Vladimir Putin has been condemned to the ninth circle of hell. Dick Cheney and John McCain have equated Moscow’s mucking around in our sacred democratic rituals to an “act of war.”

Yet democracy seems everywhere to be losing its luster.

Among its idealized features is the New England town meeting. There, citizens argued, debated, decided questions of common concern.

recall a time when folks came out to mock miscreants locked in stocks in the village Patrick square. ConBuchanan g r e s s m e n returning to Columnist their districts in Holy Week were shouted down as a spectator sport. A Trump rally in Berkeley was busted up by a mob. The university there has now canceled an appearance by Ann Coulter.

Charles Murray, whose books challenge conventional wisdom about the equality of civilizations, and Heather Mac Donald, who has documented the case that hostility to cops is rooted in statistical ignorance, have both had their speeches violently disrupted on elite campuses.

In Washington, our twoparty system is in gridlock.

Comity and collegiality are vanishing. Across Europe, centrist parties shrink as splinter parties arise and “illiberal democracies” take power.

Russia and China, which have embraced autocratic capitalism, have attracted admirers and emulators by the seeming success of their strongman rule.

President Trump, seeing the way the world is going, welcomes to the White House Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi, whose army dumped over the elected government and

jailed thousands.

Following a disputed referendum that granted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan near-dictatorial powers, Trump phoned his congratulations to the Turkish autocrat. It was Erdogan who described democracy as a bus you get off when it reaches your stop.

Why is liberal democracy, once hailed as the future of mankind, in a deepening bear market? First, Acheson was not all wrong.

When George W. Bush declared that the peoples of the Middle East should decide their future in democratic elections, Lebanon chose Hezbollah, the Palestinians chose Hamas, the Egyptians the Muslim Brotherhood. The first two are U.S.-designated terrorist groups, as members of Congress wish to designate the third. Not an auspicious beginning for Arab democracy.

In Federalist No. 2, John Jay called us a “band of brethren” and “one united people” who shared the same ancestors, language, religion, principles, manners, customs.

We have two major languages now. Scores of other languages are taught in schools.

Not only do we disagree on God, gays and guns, but on politics and ideology, morality and faith, right and wrong. One-half of America sees the other as “a basket of deplorables. ... racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic ... bigots.”

How, outside an external attack that unites us, like 9/11, do we find unity among people who dislike each other so much and regard each other’s ideas and ideals as hateful and repellent?

Democracy requires common ground on which all can stand, but that ground is sinking beneath our feet, and democracy may be going down the sinkhole with it.

Where liberals see as an ever-more splendid diversity of colors, creeds, ethnicities, ideologies, beliefs and lifestyles, the Right sees the disintegration of a country, a nation, a people, and its replacement with a Tower of Babel.

Visions in conflict that democracy cannot reconcile.

The Northeast Mississippi Community College chamber choir will be the featured performers at the Corinth Music Club’s upcoming concert.

NEMCC Chamber Choir featured in Corinth concert The beautifully renovated sanctuary of First United Methodist Church in Corinth will be filled with the sweet harmonies of the Northeast Community College Chamber Choir on Thursday, April 27.

The concert will begin at 11 a.m. It is sponsored by the Corinth Music Club as part of

its Mid-Morning Concert series, which are open to the public. There is no cost to attend.

The Northeast Community College Chamber Choir is an auditioned group and is the choir which is most often used for travel concerts. Kathy Anderson directs the choir and Dr. Ray Harris, Department

Head, accompanies the choir.

The choir will be presenting a mixture of choral literature including Ubi Caritas, Homeland, Glory Hallelujah, In Remembrance and several more favorites of the members. “We are excited about coming on the 27th of April. Our students have been talking about

singing in the beautiful sanctuary again because of the wonderful acoustics,� said Anderson.

The final Mid-Morning concert before the summer break will be at 11 am on May 4. It will be held in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church in Corinth, and it will be a “Spring Ring� featuring the hand-

bell choirs from First Baptist Church and First United Methodist Church. After the summer break, Mid-Morning Concerts will resume in September.

The Mid-Morning Concerts are sponsored by the Corinth Music Club, a member of the Mississippi Federation of Music Clubs since 1924.

Reduce energy costs while ensuring homes stay cool

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.comÂ

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to space limitations in the Spring Home Improvement special section, we present this additional story today.)

When attempting to cool their homes, many homeowners’ first instinct may be to adjust the air conditioning thermostat. “The most savings payback can come with a standard thermostat setting,� said Kevin Bragg with ACE Power. “During warm weather, it is best to set your home’s cooling

system to 78 degrees.�

Programmable thermostats are also a good way to cut costs. They allow homeowners to adjust their cooling systems for when they are home and when they are out. Air conditioners can be set at higher temperatures when residents are at work or school, and then lowered before residents arrive home.

There are other, more energy-eďŹƒcient methods to cooling a home.

According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspec-

tors, as much as half of the energy used in homes goes toward heating and cooling.

Insulation is also important. “Installation installed in the attic also normally delivers a homeowner with lots of savings,� added Bragg.

Many insulation materials work by slowing down the way heat moves through materials and into spaces. Proper insulation can provide eective resistance to the flow of heat, meaning it can help block hot air from

flowing into the interior of a home. Insulation will help reduce the amount of work a cooling system will have to do to cool a home thanks to the flow of heat.

Bragg also recommends replacing air filters regularly.

Air filters trap dust, debris and other microscopic particles so they are not circulating in the air or clogging up vents.

Over time, air filters can become so bogged down with dirt that air cannot move through a home very easily, forcing cooling systems to work harder. “Replacing the filters can help cooling systems work more eďŹƒciently,â€? added Bragg.

Ceiling fans also help to circulate air throughout a home and create an effective draft. Ceiling fans

are usually most eective at circulating air throughout a room. The larger the blades, the more air that can be oset by the fan.

Many fans operate quietly and eectively.

Keeping a home cool and saving money in the process is possible by making a few tweaks to the cooling system.

Avoid aches, pains when gardening

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to space limitations in the Spring Home Improvement special section, we present this additional story today.)

People who have not spent much time in a garden may not consider this rewarding hobby much of a threat to their health.

But as veteran gardeners can attest, gardening can contribute to nagging aches and pains that force even the most ardent green-thumbers indoors.

Gardening is a physical activity that, despite its peaceful nature, can be demanding on the body.

Thankfully, there are several ways gardening enthusiasts can prevent the aches and pains that sometimes pop up after long days in the garden.

Cindy Pearson of Trinity Health Clinic said there are many safety aspects of gardening to keep in mind, depending on the type of gardening or lawn care one decides to do.

One most basic thought would be to wear appropriate clothing and take precautions to protect one’s skin. “Wear sunscreen and hats. Protect yourself by wearing the proper clothing and gloves,� said Pearson. “And, don’t forget to protect your eyes.�

As the South can have brutal temperatures, Pearson said people in this region need to keep this in mind. “Do your gardening early in the day or late in the evening to avoid the daytime heat,� she said.

Pearson also advised it was a good idea to brush up on one’s knowledge of plants to know what

Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Poison Sumac look like so contact with those rash-causing plants can be avoided.

Finally, Pearson strongly urged people to never use equipment unless one is familiar with it and know how to use it properly.

Other general advice for gardening to avoid aches and pains would be: ■Use ergonomic gardening tools. Ergonomic gardening tools are designed to prevent the types of aches, pains and injuries that can cut gardeners’ seasons short.

Gardening injuries can affect any area of the body, but injuries or aches and pains aecting the back, wrists and hands are among the most com-

mon physical problems gardeners endure. Look for ergonomic tools that reduce the strain on these areas of the body. Even arthritis suerers who love to garden may find that ergonomic tools make it possible for them to spend more time in their gardens without increasing their risk for injury. ■Alternate tasks. Repetitive-strain injuries can aect gardeners who spend long periods of time performing the same activity in their gardens.

By alternating tasks during gardening sessions, gardeners can reduce their risk of suering repetitive strain injuries.

Vice president embraces U.S.-Australia alliance Associated Press

SYDNEY — U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Australia’s prime minister swept aside any lingering tensions Saturday over an Obama era agreement on the resettlement of refugees, joining forces to urge China to take a greater role in pressuring North Korea to scuttle its nuclear weapons and missile program.

Pence and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull repeatedly praised the decades-long AmericanAustralian alliance following a meeting in Sydney, with the vice president passing along President Donald Trump’s “very best regards” and thanking Turnbull for calling on Beijing to be more assertive in the international effort to de-escalate Pyongyang’s nuclear threat.

Meeting at the governor-general’s residence with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour and the city’s famed opera house, the two leaders appeared at pains to present a united front following an unusual period of strain between the longtime allies. The anxieties

were sparked by a spat between Turnbull and Trump over a refugee resettlement deal struck by former President Barack Obama.

Pence said Saturday that the U.S. would honor the agreement even if the administration didn’t agree with it.

Under the deal, the U.S. would take up to 1,250 refugees housed by Australia in detention camps on the Pacific island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

Trump’s anger over the agreement led to a tense phone call with Turnbull in January and an angry tweet in which the president called the deal “dumb.”

“President Trump has made it clear that we’ll honor the agreement — that doesn’t mean we admire the agreement,” Pence said during a news conference with Turnbull.

Turnbull, for his part, said that “whatever the reservations of the president are,” the decision “speaks volumes for the commitment, the integrity of President Trump, and your administration, sir, to honor that commitment.”

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers returning to Washington this coming week will find a familiar quagmire on health care legislation and a budget deadline dramatized by the prospect of a protracted battle between President Donald Trump and Democrats over his border wall.

Trump’s GOP allies control Congress, but they’ve been unable to send him a single major bill as his presidency faces the symbolic 100day mark on April 29 — the very day when the government, in a worstcase scenario, could shut down.

Feeling pressure to deliver results, Trump wants to revive a troubled health care measure from House Republicans to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Trump also hopes to use a $1 trillion catchall

WASHINGTON — A Democratic privacy advocate and libertarianminded Republican are asking the nation’s top intelligence official to release more information about the communications of American citizens swept up in surveillance operations.

The request by Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky adds to a chorus of calls for more transparency about how intelligence agencies use and share communications to, from and about Americans.

The two want to know more about how agencies handle these communications as well as data about the number of Americans affected.

They also want to make public the procedures on how intelligence about members of Congress is disseminated.

NEW YORK — Another day, another cellphone video of a conflict on an airplane.

American Airlines said it grounded a flight attendant who got into a verbal confrontation with a passenger on a Friday flight from San Francisco to Dallas-Fort Worth.

Spokeswoman Leslie Scott says the airline is looking into whether the male flight attendant violently took away a stroller from the female passenger just before she boarded a Friday flight from San Francisco to Dallas.

He has been removed from duty in the meantime.

In an age of cellphone videos and social media, airlines are learning the hard way that it is essential to deescalate tense situations that occur during air travel, even as there are more passengers, less room and fewer flight attendants than ever before.

The incident comes less than two weeks after

Cell:731-926-0249

video of a man being violently dragged off a United Express flight sparked widespread outrage .

United initially blamed its passenger, Dr. David Dao, before finally apologizing days after the incident, fanning the public’s fury. American, by contrast, seems to have learned from United’s mistakes: it immediately said it was sorry, that it had grounded the flight attendant while it investigates the incident, and that it had upgraded the passenger involved and her family to first class.

“American doesn’t want to become the next United, but then, United didn’t want to become the next United,” said Henry Harteveldt, travel industry analyst at Atmosphere Research Group. “No airline wants to be seen as being anti-consumer or anti-passenger.”

Smartphone cameras and social media are shifting power to consumers who can share customer relations gaffes with the world. They’re increasingly making confrontations with customer-facing staff headline news, making it harder for companies to sweep complaints under the rug. The faster companies own up to mistakes, the quicker they can start to do damage control.

American’s fast reaction to the incident could be helpful, said brand consultant Allen Adamson, CEO of BrandSimple.

An additional Democratic demand is for costsharing payments to insurance companies that help low-income people afford health policies under Obama’s health law.

The payments are a critical subsidy and the subject of a lawsuit by House Republicans. Trump has threatened to withhold the money to force Democrats to negotiate on health legislation.

Health care is on a separate track and facing trouble, too. The White House is pressing House Republicans to rally behind a revised bill so GOP leaders can schedule a vote this coming week that could let Trump fulfill a 100-days promise.

A quick vote, let alone approval, seems unlikely.

There are still “holes in the public’s understanding of how U.S. person information — collected pursuant to different authorities and by different agencies — is handled,” they wrote.

The senators’ Friday letter to Dan Coats, director of national intelligence, comes as lawmakers gear up for debate over the reauthorization of one of the government’s key surveillance programs, which expires at the end of the year. Programs authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act target foreigners, but domestic communications are sometimes vacuumed up as well.

Critics who want the law reformed worry that agencies use the foreign intelligence collection tool too loosely and sometimes in connection with domestic law enforcement investigations.

Negotiations have faltered because of disputes over the border wall and health law subsidies to help low-income people afford health insurance.

Trump’s Capitol Hill allies had been tempering expectations that the president will win much in the budget talks. Democratic support will be needed to pass the spending measure and Republicans fear taking the blame if the government shuts down on their watch.

Congress faces a midnight Friday deadline to avert a government shutdown. But negotiations on the spending measure, a huge pile of leftover business from last year that includes the budgets of almost every federal agency, have hit a rough patch.

Canyon search uses drones for 1st time PHOENIX — The desperate effort this week to find two hikers who disappeared at the bottom of the Grand Canyon represented the National Park Service’s most extensive use yet of drones in a search-and-rescue mission.

The Grand Canyon is the only national park with its own fleet of unmanned aircraft for locating people who have gotten lost, stranded, injured or killed. Under a program that began last fall, it has five drones and four certified operators.

While the aerial search for the two hikers came up empty, it threw a spotlight on technology that can enter crevices and other rugged spots unreachable by foot while sparing searchers the dangers of going up in a helicopter.

With its steep cliffs, nearly 2,000 square miles and mesmerizing views, the Grand Canyon can be as dangerous as it is captivating.

Rangers were confronted with 1,200 medical emergencies, 293 search-and-rescue missions and 17 deaths in 2016, a year in which the park had nearly 6 million visitors. Last summer, a 35-year-old Yelp executive tripped while hiking, fell backward and was found dead 400 feet below.

“Our historic model was to take the helicopter to look and see,” said Grand Canyon chief ranger Matt Vandzura.

But now, drones can offer “that same close look but without putting any people at risk. It has dramatically increased our ability to keep our people safe.”

Premature hippo a happy hit for zoo CINCINNATI (AP) — A prematurely born hippo in Ohio has been providing regular doses of happiness for animal lovers, in a show of public affection that’s also given an emotional lift to Cincinnati Zoo workers.

After months of backlash over the zoo’s fatal shooting of Harambe, a gorilla who became a pop culture phenomenon in death, baby Fiona is the new center of attention there.

“She has brought everyone together,” said Jenna Wingate, one of Fiona’s caregivers. “It brings us to tears sometimes.”

Blog and video updates such as Fiona taking a bottle, splashing in a pool or learning to run have drawn tens of millions of online views.

Tens of thousands of people have bought Team Fiona T-shirts, and thousands more have eaten a Cincinnati bakery

chain’s Fiona-themed treats, with proceeds supporting the zoo’s efforts. She gets so many cards and letters that she has her own mail bin.

On a recent sunny afternoon at the zoo, Gina Brockman, of Taylor Mill, Kentucky, got her children in place for a photo near the hippopotamus area and just before snapping it, said: “Say Fiona!”

“They can’t wait to see her,” Brockman said. “I think she has brought everybody lots of excitement.”

Problems remain at Washington hospital SEATTLE — Inspectors who visited Washington state’s largest psychiatric hospital found that safety problems that thrust the facility into the national spotlight after the escape of two dangerous patients a year ago persist, including neglected patients.

And a survey of Western State Hospital staff, conducted as part of federal oversight in December and January, found that administrators make decisions that “adversely affect patient safety” and there was a lack of trained or qualified staff, fear of retaliation from managers and too much focus on bureaucracy over staff safety.

The survey and the consultants’ report were obtained by The Associated Press from someone close to the hospital who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation.

State officials say they are making progress, including hiring additional staff members, as they try to turn around the facility since the patients escaped in April 2016.

They say correcting problems that have developed over decades will take time to resolve.

Dr. Joseph Wainer, a psychiatrist at the hospital, said the problems continue. He wrote a letter to the editor that recently appeared in the Tacoma, Washington, newspaper in which he alleged that management at the facility was traumatizing employees and patients.

NYC to give jobs to released inmates NEW YORK (AP) — Neftali Thomas Diaz swears he’s done with Rikers Island.

After being locked up twice at the notorious New York City jail for stealing a credit card and violating parole, Diaz entered a private jobs program. Once he’s back on his feet with a paycheck, Diaz says, “I know I’m not ever going back there — ever.”

New York City is betting that Diaz and other low-level offenders like him are right about the salvation in secondchance employment.

Mayor Bill de Blasio says the city will spend $10 million a year on a “jails to jobs” initiative that will guarantee all Rikers inmates serving sentences of a year or less a chance at shortterm employment once they do their time. The jobs will last up to eight weeks, with hourly wages covered by taxpayer money rather than coming out of the pocket of the employers.

The program, expected to be in place by the end of the year, is part of a broader effort to drive down the city’s inmate population to the point where the city could build new, smaller jails to replace Rikers.

Vicksburg port gets economic boost

Sign vandalized at Islamic Center

VICKSBURG — A contractor says business is picking up at the Port of Vicksburg, reflecting better performance in the economy.

The Vicksburg Post reports that the tonnage for incoming freight shipments was 22 percent higher in January and February this year compared to the same two months in 2016.

Although March 2017 saw a decrease compared to March 2016, the overall numbers for this year are still looking better.

Chris Maxwell works for Kansas-based Watco Companies, which has a contract to operate the Vicksburg port.

He gave numbers to the local Port Commission last week.

HATTIESBURG — The sign at the Islamic center of Hattiesburg has been vandalized.

The Hattiesburg American reports the sign in front of the city’s Islamic Center was knocked out of its frame early Friday morning.

Jerry Buti helped establish the center in 2008 and says whoever removed the sign is welcome to meet and pray with members.

Buti has been in Hattiesburg for almost 40 years and says he’s never experienced negativity. He also says the sign was vandalized another time a year ago but neither incident has been reported to police.

In 2014 shots fired into the center damaged windows and walls but no one was hurt.

2 men sentenced for false tax returns

Alcorn State arrest total jumps to 18

JACKSON — Two Gulfport, Mississippi men have been sentenced for preparing fraudulent tax returns.

Acting U.S. Attorney Harold Brittain says Allen Brice was sentenced to 63 months in prison for seven counts of aiding in the preparation of false tax returns.

In addition, Jeremi Washington was sentenced to 46 months after pleading guilty to conspiring to defraud the United States.

Brittain, in a news release earlier this week, said Washington owned and operated Flash Financial and Brice was his sole employee.

Court documents show that from 2009 through 2011, the men filed fraudulent returns that included bogus education expenses and retirement contributions, which were never discussed with their clients.

Brice was ordered to pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $1.91 million, while Washington was ordered to pay $1.95 million.

LORMAN — More Alcorn State football players have been arrested in connection with an on-campus brawl.

The total number of arrests now stands at 18, after seven more players were charged Thursday with misdemeanors following a fight last week.

The Clarion-Ledger reports the charges against the players range from malicious mischief to simple assault.

The fight started April 10 in the school’s cafeteria. Officials say the event was captured on several cellphone cameras and widely circulated last week.

The Braves are coming off a 5-6 season in which they won the SWAC East title and competed for the league championship for a second year in a row.

Bridge repair closes Westbound I-20 JACKSON — People driving from Atlanta to Dallas might expect a traffic snarl around Mississippi’s capital city

next week.

The Mississippi Department of Transportation says the westbound lanes of Interstate 20 in Jackson are scheduled to be closed from 10 p.m. April 28 until 6 a.m. May 1 so workers can repair a bridge.

Trash fires under a bridge in 2012 and 2014 damaged its concrete deck and steel girders. MDOT executive director Melinda McGrath says the fires were set by vagrants.

She says keeping that section of I-20 open during repairs would take three months and cost significantly more money.

Westbound drivers can take a detour by going up I-55 north to reach the I-220 bypass around Jackson. That will add about 16 miles.

I-20 eastbound lanes will remain open.

Jobless rate falls to lowest level since ’76 JACKSON — Mississippi unemployment fell to 5 percent in March, tying the lowest level since the current survey began in 1976.

That’s down from 5.2 percent in February and 6 percent a year ago.

It’s the 10th month Mississippi has dipped to 5 percent, including six months in 1999 and three in 2000.

Some earlier surveys show Mississippi had lower jobless rates between 1965 and 1974.

Lowe unemployment nationwide means Mississippi’s jobless rate remained tied for ninth-highest among states. The U.S. rate fell to 4.5 percent in March from February’s 4.7 percent.

Mississippi payrolls were flat at 1.15 million in March. That separate survey — many economists’ top labor market indicator — was even with January 2016 levels.

The U.S. Labor Department released figures Friday, adjusted to cancel out seasonal changes.

Trump sons take helm of company NEW YORK — Apprentices no more, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are now at the helm of the Trump Organization and adjusting to the reality presented by their father’s presidency. They’re eyeing ways to use the new lease on the family fame by expanding the brand into parts of the United States that embrace him.

Some business has slowed as a result of the pledge to stall international dealmaking while Trump is president. But a U.S. push is planned, and two new hotel chains are being considered

PYONGYANG, North Korea — Coca-Cola is possibly the world’s most recognizable brand, an almost inescapable symbol of the global appeal of American-style consumer culture. There are only two countries in the world where Coke doesn’t officially operate, and one of them is North Korea.

But even the North is developing quite a taste for cola — though the iconic red-and-white labeled bottles the cola comes in likely are not exactly the Real Thing and their twist tops need a bit more than the usual caution. They have a tendency to leak or refuse to come off at all.

North Korea and Cuba are the only countries where Coca-Cola Co. has no operations, said communications director Ann Moore. Coke doesn’t do business with either because of sanctions.

That doesn’t stop Coke making its way over the North Korean border, however.

Coke bottled in China and bearing Chinese la-

North Korea and Cuba are the only countries where Coca-Cola Co. has no operations ... but that doesn’t stop Coke making its way over the North Korean border. bels isn’t hard to find in North Korea’s relatively affluent capital, Pyongyang. It is sold in upscale grocery stores that cater to the capital’s elite and a growing number of middle class residents, who are increasingly earning enough hard cash through entrepreneurial side businesses to purchase more than bare necessities.

Coke from China can also be quaffed in international hotels frequented by both locals who can afford their high prices and foreign tourists and business people, most of them from China as well.

Pepsi sightings are rarer.

The cola served at restaurants and lining the shelves in stores where more typical North Koreans shop are likely to be local imitations, though one of the more popular ones could, from a dis-

tance, easily pass as a Coke.

Its 1.25-liter bottle has the same Coke shape, the Coke-like red and white label, the distinctive red cap. But instead of the usual Chinese phonetic characters for Coca-Cola, it has “Cocoa-flavored Sweet Soda Drink” splashed across its label in yellow Korean lettering.

The label also prominently features a bar code and the universally recognized anti-littering logo of a person responsibly tossing his trash in a bin. It includes a calorie count and the address and phone number of the bottler, the Wonbong Trading Co. in Pyongyang. Such numbers can only be accessed

by North Koreans using the North Korean phone network.

So no comment there.

How does it taste?

Not bad, it turns out.

Good fizz. Indistinguishable appearance. If you like Coke, it’s a very good facsimile. Some other similar sodas claiming to be cocoa-flavored but not aiming to match Coke’s taste do in fact taste like chocolate.

Back in 2000, when ties between the U.S. and North Korea were going through something of a thaw, there were widespread rumors that Coke was on the verge of officially breaking into the market. Blame North Korea’s decision to develop nuclear weapons for dooming that plan.

The locally bottled versions of Coke-like drinks have filled the vacuum.

Air Koryo, the country’s flagship airline, recently introduced its own brand of cola on flights to and from Beijing. That’s not quite as odd as it might sound. Like many large state-run enterprises, the airline also operates a fleet of taxis, has at least one gas station in Pyongyang and puts its name on other soft drinks in order to turn a profit.

Last killer whale born CD coming due? in captivity at SeaWorld Compare our rates.

Associated Press

MIAMI — The last orca has been born in captivity at a SeaWorld park in San Antonio, Texas, just over a year after the theme park decided to stop breeding orcas following animal rights protests and declining ticket sales.

The Orlando-based company said the orca — the last in a generation of whales bred in confinement — was born Wednesday.

SeaWorld did not immediately name the calf because the park’s veterinarians had not yet

determined whether it was male or female.

The mother, 25-yearold Takara, was already pregnant when SeaWorld announced in March 2016 that it had stopped breeding its orcas. The gestation period for orcas is about 18 months.

Preparing late last month for the moment, SeaWorld’s chief zoological officer, Chris Dold, told The Associated Press he expected the birth to be bittersweet, because it would be the last such event at any of the parks.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss — Crossroads Magazine 2016-17 Sports Rewind coming in your Saturday, April 29, Daily Corinthian.

Widower in new relationship is shunned by sisters-in-law D E A R ABBY: My wife of 43 years died nine months ago after losing her fouryear battle Abigail with cancer. I a woman Van Buren met who had also experienced Dear Abby tragedy in her life, and we started seeing each other casually. When my wife’s three sisters found out, I became the outcast.

Why do people think there is a set time to grieve?

Life is too short to sit and pine.

Memories will always be there.

This woman has brought me out of my depression and sorrow. I can’t understand how people I thought cared for me could be so mean.

I was told by the pastor and hospice counselor that grieving takes time, but what is enough time? I was also told to look at the marriages of these women.

When I did, I realized that they were unhappy in their unions and probably don’t want anyone else to be happy.

So what do I do now? — OUTCAST IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR OUTCAST: You have had more than four years to grieve your late wife’s illness and death.

Now go on with your life and don’t look back.

There’s a story in the book of Genesis about a man named Lot, whose wife looked back during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and was turned into a pillar of salt.

What I take from the story is that sometimes it isn’t healthy for people to spend a lot of time looking backward, because if you do, you too can become “frozen” and unable to move forward with your life.

DEAR ABBY: One of my coworkers, “Bob,” has the same bad habit as I do — smoking. (I know smoking isn’t good for me and I have tried to quit several times. One day I will, but not just yet.)

Bob has been bumming cigarettes from me two to three times a day, five days a week, since I started here over a year ago. He’s always asking me or another co-worker.

He never buys his own.

Strike that!

He has bought two cartons about eight months apart to “thank me” for giving him cigarettes, but in the end, I smoked only one pack total out of both cartons.

It’s like he gave them to me so I could ration them to him.

My problem is, Bob is the vice president of the company, and I’m the receptionist.

There’s a huge salary gap between our positions.

How can I respectfully tell him I can no longer afford his habit and mine, and that he should support his own habit?

I have tried to think of different ways to say it, but our cultures are different as well, and I don’t want to come across as disrespectful and end up not getting promoted — or worse, lose my job. — TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IN SUGAR LAND, TEXAS DEAR TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF: Sometimes what we regard as a problem is actually an opportunity.

Because you feel that refusing to be your boss’ supplier could jeopardize your job, the safest way to handle this would be for you to quit smoking NOW. Talk to your doctor (who will be thrilled, I’m sure) about a nicotine withdrawal system to help ease you through the withdrawal.

Then, when Mr. VP asks to bum his next cigarette, give him a smile along with the good news that you’re kicking your addiction and suggest he join you.

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

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). At first you won’t understand. You’ll break it down and try to figure out the smaller pieces; then put it back together and see if the whole picture makes a little more sense. It’s too soon to say whether you like or agree with it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your choices are pretty clear early on. You can either fall back asleep to dream another dream or you can get out the pen and paper and start hashing out the original dream with a to-do list.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one really wants to be loved with a quality that smacks subtly of charity. That is why these days you’re careful to choose love objects that challenge and inspire you instead of endear and require you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Yes, within the circumstances into which you were born you can still construct a life of your own choosing. To spot where you have options that you are not taking advantage of is the trick. It will be easier to do so

today!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When the external pursuit of change seems in and of itself a recipe for staying stuck (as often is the case) turn inward instead. To face the facts of who you are is to change who you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

In a good relationship, there is no such thing as a winner and a loser. If one person is losing, you both are. You have to be on the same team or it’s not going to work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re likely to run this day on gut decisions rather than measured conclusions. Either way, you’ll come to the same decision. With your gut you’ll get there faster and less able to explain yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Oscar Wilde said, “Morality is simply the attitude we adopt toward people we personally dislike.” You’d like to think you have better guidelines than that, and yet today’s events will have you questioning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll have the luxury to choose among the temptations of many entertainments. The further away an activity is from your wheelhouse, the more alive you’ll feel while exploring it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Financial barriers can be worked around in non-financial ways. This works to your benefit, as it’s not the dollars, but the effort you put in that will earn you a standing and reputation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You might be surprised at how little attention some people get.

It’s a good reason to ask the question on your mind. Those who need it will be flattered by your focus. You may very well be the only one who cares today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Is your heart’s desire realistic?

Not according to you! Fortunately, your criterion for realism does not match up with those who are in a position to grant your wild wishes.

Corinth resident and elementary school teacher Amy Chandler recently ran her first Boston Marathon and finished in 3:35.52. She was the first female entry from Mississippi this year to cross the finish line. She proudly shows off her medal and has a nice cold bottle of water in her left hand to cool off with after a rather warm and muggy day in Boston.

Local teacher runs Boston Marathon Amy Chandler isn’t Forrest Gump but there are eery similarities in how they became long-distance runners.

In the infamous 1994 movie Gump began his fictional threeyear, two month and Kent 14 day crossMohundro country run by simply jogSports Editor ging first to the mailbox in front of his home. He then decided to keep running across town eventually running across the state of Alabama and ultimately the entire United States from coast to coast.

More than once.

Granted, Chandler doesn’t take it that far but her first casual run was, in her words, to a couple of mailboxes and to the end of the street in the neighborhood she and her husband and kids live on.

Last week she did something she never thought she would when she first started by running the 2017 Boston Marathon. And she completed the highly-challenging course in under four hours with a time of 3:35.52.

She was the top female finisher from Mississippi in Boston

How did a young woman who didn’t run track or cross country in high school or even college decide to run the ‘Super Bowl’ of marathons?

“I went and ran the (Washington) D.C. Marathon back in the summer of 2015 and then in December of that same year I ran my second St. Jude Marathon in Memphis,” said the Corinth Elementary School fourth-grade teacher.”They were both qualifiers for the Boston race and I beat the qualifying times at both.”

“Then last September I sent my qualifying times to Massachusetts to qualify for this year’s Boston Marathon. It’s a long process but well worth it.”

Chandler is originally from Athens, Alabama and attended Clements High School there, graduating in 1998. She attended college at the University of North Alabama where she met her husband Gary, who is originally from Tupelo and is the former Alliance Director for the City of Corinth.

The Chandlers have two children: Carter, a Corinth High School junior who plays on the Division 1-4A champion Warrior soccer team, and Caroline, a 12year old student at Corinth Middle School who also is involved in athletics and

plays soccer and volleyball.

How did Amy get to this point?

“I just always loved to run,” she continued. “Even though the school I attended didn’t have track or cross country I still played basketball and volleyball. I also enjoyed running and competing against the boys on the playground and in the neighborhood. I was always trying to outdo them and I did most of the time.”

Upon earning her high school diploma, Chandler decided she wanted to be a teacher and enrolled at UNA where she graduated in 2002. She and her family moved to Corinth in 2008 and have called Alcorn County home ever since.

They enjoy and like it here. And it’s conveniently close to her Alabama hometown and to Tupelo as well.

Running casually is one thing while advancing in status to run a 10K is yet another. But to reach the level of the Boston Marathon requires much more training and the ability to endure.

Amy was originally a firstgrade teacher at the former West Corinth Elementary School upon her arrival in the Crossroads city and later moved to East Corinth until the time the current Corinth Elementary School was built.

The year before she started teaching fourth grade at CES Chandler says she started walking and running casually, just as Gump did in the movie. First it was to the end of the block, then around the block and ultimately to Boston.

“I ran my first 10K here in Corinth in 2011 at the Coca Cola race,” Chandler stated.

“I didn’t know what to expect or how I would do but I wasn’t gonna quit until I finished, even if that meant crawling across the finish line.”

“At one point during the race I remember running past an ambulance and thinking ‘I’m not dead’,” she said. “I enjoyed running in that race and I actually did better than I thought I would.”

Chandler and her good friend Ginger Green then decided to enter the St. Jude half marathon in December of 2011. They put a lot of time in practicing and getting ready physically and emotionally. It was Amy’s first attempt at 12 miles.

“That St. Jude half marathon was when I first became acquainted with Kenneth Williams,” Chandler commented. “I finished the run in under two hours and ever since then Mr. WilPlease see TEACHER | 12

Bama spring game showcase for Hurts, young backfield The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama’s offensive backfield is sporting a new look these days, even if in some ways it’s only temporary.

Coaches and teammates say quarterback Jalen Hurts has improved his dropback passing during spring practices while his freshman backups learned the offense and got acclimated to college life.

Then there’s a talented group of tailbacks, half of whom are recovering from injuries and unlikely to play in Saturday’s spring game at BryantDenny Stadium.

That left fans to get a glimpse at a future that appears about as bright as it’s ever been under coach Nick Saban at both positions. Plenty showed up, with Alabama announcing the crowd at 74,326. Saban has said a top spring priority was to help Hurts work on his passing, where he struggled late in the season, including during the national championship game loss to Clemson.

“We have spent a tremendous amount of practice time on it this spring,” Saban said this

week. “I think he’s made progress.”

So do Hurts’ teammates, like wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

“I think it’s night and day,” Ridley said. “He’s gotten so much better. He sits in there and sometimes when I’m not in, and I look and he’s stepping up, making good throws. So, he’s gotten a lot better.”

Mid-year enrollees Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones are the only other scholarship quarterbacks on campus after a string of transfers.

They’re continuing a duel for the backup job.

It’s the first time in three years that the spring game wasn’t a showcase of quarterbacks vying for the starting job. But there has been plenty of anticipation about the two freshmen, especially Tagovailoa as the nation’s top-rated dual-threat quarterback according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

He and Hurts both delivered on Saturday.

Hurts passed for 301 yards and two touchdowns, including a 65-yarder to Robert Foster.

Dominant pitching leads Ole Miss to win Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — Getting bumped up a day in the rotation didn’t seem to affect Ryan Rolison. The freshman left-hander pitched 6.0 shutout innings Saturday evening to lead the Ole Miss baseball team to a 3-1 victory over Missouri in game two of the Southeastern Conference series at Swayze Field.

The Rebels (24-15, 8-9 SEC) limited the Tigers (27-13, 8-9 SEC) to only three hits throughout the game, including one during the first eight innings. Rolison (5-2) allowed one hit and struck out a career-high nine, while working around five walks. He retired 14 of the final 16 hitters he went up against and even went through the order without allowing a baserunner at one point in the contest. The freshman had to move

up in the rotation after projected starter David Parkinson woke up Saturday morning with a stomach virus.

Another freshman, Will Ethridge, tossed a pair of scoreless frames by retiring all six hitters he faced. Closing out the game, Dallas Woolfolk (8) worked out of a jam in the ninth to complete an impressive pitching performance by Ole Miss.

Five different Rebels recorded one hit apiece.

Senior Colby Bortles had the biggest hit of the game with a twoRBI single in the fifth, which ended up being the game winner. Will Golsan scored two of the Rebels’ three runs, and Tim Rowe added an RBI as well. Ryan Olenek continued to be a double machine, hitting his team-leading 14th of the season.

Drivers trying to figure out Bristol surface The Associated Press

BRISTOL, Tenn. — The moment practice ended at Bristol Motor Speedway, Kurt Busch climbed the steep banking of the concrete bullring. He checked the track temperature in several spots, then used his shoes to test the grip of the surface as he scuffed his way back down.

There’s a sticky situation heading into Sunday’s race in Thunder Valley, and it’s causing fits for the drivers.

“It’s tough to trust, it’s tough to predict,” said Busch, a five-time Bristol winner.

Bristol officials applied a VHT resin to the track surface that is intended to enhance grip. The TrackBite is much wider than it was last summer, when Bristol first tried it in August in an effort to make a stronger second lane. The top lane for years had been the preferred line, but the wider swath of VHT seems to have made the bottom of the track the place to be as drivers used limited practice time to prepare for Sunday.

Intermittent rain at Bristol has wiped out a ton of the notes drivers have gathered about the surface because every time they think they’ve

figured out a lane, the showers wash off any tire rubber that’s been accumulated. The Xfinity Series race was stopped for rain Saturday, hours after the Cup drivers had completed their final practice.

“The surface was real slick and then it was really grippy and then it started to slicken back up,” Brad Keselowski said.

“It’s going to be an evolving surface race, so that just means it’s going to be tough. We’re supposed to be the best, so we’ll have to figure it out.

“It’s changing faster than I can keep up with it. This will be a weekend full of things we’ve never seen before, which usually means the field is privy to making a lot of mistakes, a lot of action, a lot of wrecks and that’s not always a bad thing.”

Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson said the driver’s council met during the fall and was in favor of Bristol continuing to explore using the VHT because “we were all eager to make sure it was back down and thought that it did offer more options.

“I welcome any change that might be thrown at us and any opportunity to create different lanes and

searching around the race track,” he said.

Only every time on the track, the bottom lane is where everyone wants to be — all but current points leader Kyle Larson.

Larson, who starts on the pole because Friday qualifying was washed out, was among only a handful of drivers trying to run near the wall during practice. It almost bit him during Saturday morning’s session when he spun and clipped the outside wall. It caused only cosmetic damage to his car.

But, after running a chunk of practice on the bottom line, he went to work on the top and wondered why so few other drivers were willing to try to make it a two-lane track.

“I feel like it would still be really fast up there (in the top lane), it’s just nobody is brave enough to go up there and work in the groove,” Larson said.

“The VHT is wider than the width of our race cars now, too, which makes it extremely easy to run around the bottom.”

Should the top line fail to become appealing by race time, Bristol could revert to the way it once was — a one-lane track in which bumping a car out

of the way was the only way to make a pass.

The old ways The current crop of younger drivers in NASCAR’s top series has never experienced the old bump-and-run ways that made Bristol famous. It could be a disadvantage to Larson and Chase Elliott, who both start on the front row.

“I mean I will probably have to go back and watch like 1980 Bristol or something like that,” Larson quipped. “Myself and Chase, who I feel like have been the fastest all year long who are young, haven’t gotten to race around Bristol when it’s been on the bottom.

“I think you will see some of the veterans, the older guys who did get to run on the old Bristol excel if it does end up being around the bottom.”

Happy hour Kyle Busch led the field in Saturday’s final practice. He had two wins at this point of the season last year but has yet to visit victory lane this season.

In fact, all of Joe Gibbs Racing is still seeking its first Cup victory.

Busch led the field with a lap at 128.563 mph and teammate Daniel Suarez was second at 128.262.

Tied at 2: Grizzlies top Spurs in OT

TEACHER CONTINUED FROM 10A

The Associated Press

liams has been so supportive and kind to me and has told me over and over that he will help me any way he can.”

She has participated in all but one Corinth Coca Cola 10K since she first started and last year helped push a wheelchair for a friend for the first time so she didn’t run her normal race.

Three years ago she ran with a group of students.

Her best finish was two years ago when she was the top female finisher from Alcorn County.

“Running is an outlet for me,” Chandler said.

“It’s something I love to do. I feel alive when I’m running and I’ve made a lot of great friends by doing so. There’s a special bond you develop with other runners and it’s almost instant.”

Chandler is part of a local group of runners by the name of ‘Team Corinth’. They get together every Saturday morning off highway 350 at Kendrick at the old girl scout camp.

Williams, of course, is the catalyst and driving force behind the group and has been for many years. He recently broke the five-hour time barrier in Massachusetts and set a new personal Boston Marathon record for himself. Just prior to the Boston race, Chandler had a slight setback and wasn’t sure if she would be able to run. “It was a leg injury and it happened during training.” she mentioned.

“I ended up seeing Rusty Whitten at Magnolia Orthopedics and he and the staff there helped me maintain my strength and get back to where I could run in Boston. But the Thursday before we left I couldn’t run some of the ‘back four’ (referring to the last 4 miles of

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol hit a 12-foot floater with 0.7 seconds left in overtime, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the San Antonio Spurs 110-108 Saturday night to even up their Western Conference first-round series at 2-2. The Grizzlies won despite blowing a 10-point lead with 7:38 left in regulation and 23 turnovers that San Antonio turned into 31 points.

Mike Conley set a franchise postseason record with 35 points, and Gasol finished with 16 points after shooting 5 of 12 for the game. He also had 12 rebounds.

The Grizzlies overcame another postseason personal best from Kawhi Leonard, who had 43 points. He rallied the Spurs by scoring the last 16 points of regulation, but missed a 21-footer short of the rim with James Ennis defending him just before the buzzer. Leonard also tied it at 108 with 17 seconds left with a 3 from the left corner. Game 5 is Tuesday night in San Antonio.

Conley also had eight assists and nine rebounds. Zach Randolph added 12 points and 11 rebounds, but was 4 of 12 from the field.

Leonard finished with 24 points combined in the fourth quarter and overtime in a thrilling game that also featured six lead changes and seven ties in the fourth quarter and overtime.

In overtime, the Spurs led 102-100 when Parker intercepted a pass by Conley and pushed the ball up-court. But rookie Andrew Harrison raced down to block Mills’ shot, and Gasol was fouled when he scored inside to tie it up. His free throw with 1:32 left put the Grizzlies up 103-102, then Conley hit a floater with

I got retaped at Boston and by then I was just simply determined that nothing was gonna stop me.”

“I prayed before the race that I would be able to complete the course,” she said. “I started to hurt just a little around mile ten but it didn’t bother me anymore and I was able to finish.”

“Running by Boston College was great and it’s a beautiful campus,” Chandler reminisced.

“All the students were out there cheering for us and there was also a really peaceful lake we ran by along the course that was extremely beautiful.

There weren’t many observers on that part of the

course and we were able to really take it in.”

When she crossed the finish line in Boston Amy remembers thinking one thing.

“Thank you God,” she concluded. With her time this year Chandler qualified to run in Boston again next April but hasn’t decided yet whether she will or not.

It’s been an interesting and unique journey to this point for Amy Chandler. What lies ahead for her remains to be seen.

But it’s fairly certain she will continue to run. You might even see her running across Corinth.

If you do don’t be surprised. That’s the way Forrest Gump started.

“That is what is so wonderful about the new cabins and their location. They are surrounded by natural beauty.”

Mike Dobis Pickwick Landing State Park Manager

Pickwick State Park opens seven new villas

BY CAROL HUMPHREYS For the Daily Corinthian

PICKWICK, Tenn. — Pickwick Landing State Park is a great example of what the Tennessee State Parks system has to offer as it celebrates its 80th year. he well-maintained park not only offers amazing views of the beautiful Pickwick Lake but acres of forested hills and hollows. Park guests can enjoy recreational boating, fishing, swimming, nature walks and bird-watching.

Accommodations on the park include an inn and restaurant, a camping area and 17 cabins – including seven new premium cabins with lake views and spacious living quarters.

The “ultra-modern” two- and three-bedroom villas with full kitchens and fireplaces, also feature decks overlooking a cove in Pickwick Lake.

Park and state officials attended a ribbon-cutting commemorating the new cabins on Nov. 18. The cabins opened to the public on Jan. 1.

The construction of the new cabins was part of an initiative by the state park system to improve the parks and park visitor experience. In the past decade, economic conditions and state budget cuts have resulted in a maintenance and renovation backlog. In recent years there has been a renewed effort to showcase the state parks as precious natural resources.

As a result, the park system is about 50 percent in reaching its goal of being self-sustaining state-wide.

“We have been able to put revenue back into the park,” said Mike Dobis, park manager of Pickwick Landing. “This is allowing us to do renovations and improvements we haven’t been able to do for several years.”

Recent improvements include replacing mattresses in lodging areas throughout the park, pressure washing the inn and creating a new third beach due to the popularity of Circle Beach and Sandy Beach.

In addition, Friends of Pickwick Landing State Park are constructing a new aviary near the park office. Educational panels will also be featured detailing the 145-plus species of birds that have been identified in the park.

In concert with the Greener State Parks directives, there is permeable pavement in the cabin area, which allows water to filter through. Park staff are also encouraged to use native plants in the butterfly gardens and in the landscape. Any falling or diseased mature trees are replanted with native species.

“That is what is so wonderful about the new cabins and their location,” said Dobis. “They are surrounded by natural beauty.”

The cabins’ living rooms provide breathtaking views. The living room furniture is handmade solid oak furni-

T

ture. The majority of the cabins’ furnishings were made in Tennessee.

“There is a ‘home away from home’ atmosphere,” said the park manager.

Outside decks have some bench seating, a table and chairs, and a kitchen island with a gas grill. Each cabin has WiFi, cable TV, central heat and air, and a gas fireplace. Cookware, dishes and linens are all provided. All seven cabins have two bathrooms.

Other amenities for cabin guests include the use of the indoor and outdoor swimming pools at the inn, a restaurant and a free shuttle service from the restaurant to the marina.

Reservations for the new cabins has really picked up since they opened to the public at the beginning of the year, said Dobis.

“The March 17-19 weekend was the first one where all 17 cabins/villas were booked,” said the park manager.

Many of the cabin renters were enjoying Spring Break but Dobis said fishermen, including people from Colorado and Indiana, also resided in the new cabins. The recent warm weather has benefitted the park, and judging by the feedback, the cabins are a big hit, he said.

With more pretty weather on the way, the park offers a lot of activities for cabin renters to enjoy.

In addition to water sports, there is hiking, golfing and picnicking. A one-hour, ranger-guided pontoon tour on Pickwick Lake is being offered during the months of May-September. Five ranger-led hikes are offered throughout the year, allowing guests to explore the incredible biodiversity of the park.

The new cabins are not only an added attraction to the park, but will also help generate funds for the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation. According to TDEC’s FY 2015 annual report, there was a 23 percent increase in revenue or $1 million in revenue from cabin use in the prior year.

The future looks bright for Tennessee State Parks, including Pickwick Landing. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported in his budget released Jan. 30, Gov. Haslam proposed $11.68 million for the park.

Funds will be for the enhancement of hospitality operations -- supporting renovations of the inn, conference center, kitchen and restaurant.

(Rates to rent premium cabins at Pickwick Landing State Park are $229-$264 per night.

Minimum stay during the off season is two nights and during the peak season, beginning Memorial Day weekend, is six nights with maximum stay of 14 nights.

The cabins are located close to the marina on the east side of the park at the site of the former inn. For more information, visit www.tnstateparks.com.)

All seven new villas feature outside decks with Pickwick Lake views.

Spacious living areas inside the villas include a kitchen bar, lots of windows and a gas fireplace.

The villas have either two or three bedrooms.

Mississippi Delta has many stories to tell

BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

CLARKSDALE — The Mississippi Delta has no shortage of museums, historic attractions and clubs devoted to the blues. But visitors will find the region has many other stories to tell, from the cotton plantations where African-American families worked and lived in desperate poverty to culinary traditions that reflect a surprising ethnic diversity.

The blues trail and museums

You can’t miss the big blue guitars marking the famous crossroads of Highways 61 and 49 in Clarksdale.

This is where, according to legend, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil to learn how to play the blues.

Roadside signs for the Mississippi Blues Trail make it easy to find other sites as well, from Clarksdale’s Riverside Hotel, where Bessie Smith died, to the Dockery Farms cotton plantation in Cleveland, where many pioneering bluesmen lived, worked and made music, among them Charley Patton, Roebuck “Pops” Staples and Howlin’ Wolf.

A sign in a field at

Clarksdale’s Stovall Plantation notes that Muddy Waters’ songs were recorded here in 1941 by musicologist Alan Lomax as he collected folk music for the Library of Congress. The sharecropper’s shack that Waters lived in has been restored and relocated to the nearby Delta Blues Museum . In Indianola, the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center pays tribute to King’s life and legacy. He’s buried there as well.

These museums and others use photos, artifacts, videos and other exhibits to explore the blues’ roots, beginning with African musical traditions brought to the South by slaves. Because Delta cotton plantations were relatively isolated, musical styles developed here uninfluenced by trends elsewhere. But eventually many AfricanAmericans who barely eked out a living working for white landowners in the decades after the Civil War migrated away from the South, seeking economic opportunity elsewhere along with an escape from segregation and racial terror.

Muddy Waters left the Delta for Chicago in 1943.

B.B. King left Mississippi

for Memphis, where he got his big break at radio station WDIA. These and other bluesmen were worshipped by 1960s music giants like Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones.

“Muddy Waters’ music changed my life,” said Eric Clapton. As the title of one of Waters’ songs puts it, “The Blues Had A Baby And They Named It Rock And Roll.”

Cat head, clubs and festivals

Stop in Cat Head, a Mississippi blues music and gift store in Clarksdale, for a chat with owner Roger Stolle, a blues fan who moved there to “help pull the blues scene together in a way that would get people to come.” Local clubs stagger their schedules so you can hear live music every night. Stolle keeps a list online of who’s playing where .

Clarksdale’s bestknown club is Ground Zero, co-owned by actor Morgan Freeman and Clarksdale Mayor Bill Luckett, but blues fans may be disappointed by party-vibe bands playing songs here like “Sweet Home Alabama.” A more interesting venue is Red’s. Don’t be fooled by its rundown appearance

and tiny, informal living room-style interior. Red’s showcases under-theradar, brilliantly talented musicians like Lucious Spiller whose performances will make you realize why the blues still matter.

Delta festivals include the Sunflower River Blues & Gospel Festival, Aug. 11-13, and the Oct. 12-15 Deep Blues Fest. Next year’s Juke Joint Festival will be April 12-15, 2018.

Food, lodging and curtained booths

Mississippi cuisine isn’t just catfish and barbecue. Doe’s, in Greenville, where a security guard watches over your car as you dine and walks you to the parking area when you leave, is known for steaks the size of your head and has been recognized by the James Beard Foundation. Chamoun’s Rest Haven in Clarksdale, founded by a Lebanese family in the 1940s, serves some of the best kibbe you’ll find

outside the Middle East.

At Larry’s Hot Tamales, ask owner Larry Lee to share stories of how Mexican tamales became a scrumptious Mississippi staple. For upscale bistro fare like ceviche and roasted vegetables, try Yazoo Pass in Clarksdale.

To learn more about culinary traditions in Mississippi and elsewhere in the South, visit the Southern Foodways Alliance website.

Delta accommodations range from motels to the Alluvian, a luxury boutique hotel in Greenwood.

The city, once a major shipping point for Delta cotton, is also where the movie “The Help” was filmed.

Today Greenwood is headquarters for Viking Range, the kitchen appliance manufacturer, and a Viking cooking school (classes fill up fast so book ahead). Other Greenwood spots include the excellent Turnrow bookstore and the tasting room for

Documentary delves into life of music pioneer Clive Davis

BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

NEW YORK — Clive Davis celebrated his legacy with the debut of a documentary about his life, along with performances from artists he helped become icons, during the opening night of the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.

Davis, 85, said it was a dream come true to launch “Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives” at Radio City Music Hall since he grew up in Brooklyn and didn’t visit Manhattan until he was 13.

The music mogul was all smiles at the multihour event Wednesday night, as performers like Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, Barry Manilow and Earth, Wind & Fire took the stage to pay tribute to Davis.

“All of them fresh from not performing at the inauguration,” Robert De Niro, who co-founded the festival, said before the film began, earning laughs and handclaps from the audience.

Jennifer Hudson left the stage to walk into the aisles to dance with the crowd as she sang Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”

“Where is Clive at?” she yelled. Davis earned a loud cheer from the audience when he started

dancing.

When Franklin — who closed the show — sang “Natural Woman,” she pointed to Davis and sang the lyrics, “He makes me feel.” She also called her longtime collaborator a “chieftain” and “humanitarian.”

Others shared the sentiment on-screen.

“The Soundtrack of Our Lives,” directed by Chris Perkel, gave a peek into Davis’ personal and professional life. He lost his parents while he was an undergraduate at New York University, and later attended Harvard Law School. After working as a lawyer for Columbia Records, he was promoted to president in 1967, despite not desiring a career in music.

“I had no inkling that music would be my passion of life,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday from his office at the new Sony building in Manhattan. “I had no money after my parents died, so I went through school on scholarships. And I was going to be a lawyer.”

He said watching the documentary was somewhat hard, especially scenes with Houston, who died in 2012.

“It was very emotional to see artists that I worked with 20, 30, 40 years ago have the same

vivid memories of how we interrelated and what we worked on and issues that arose,” he said.

“It certainly gives a very compelling picture of the relationship that I had with Whitney Houston and of course that’s filled with emotional impact, and it really showed sides of Whitney that no one has ever seen before.”

Davis went on to become the world’s most popular music executive, discovering talents such as Houston, Alicia Keys and Manilow and creating second acts for legends like Franklin and Santana.

He even had a large role in shaping the careers of Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin and Billy Joel.

“What a movie,” Manilow yelled before he sang some of his popular hits.

Other performers included Kenny G and Dionne Warwick, who earned a standing ovation after she hit a high note.

Whoopi Goldberg worked as the emcee in between the performances.

“No matter who you voted for, fight for the arts in school please,” she told the audience. “This is in our hands now.”

Davis founded Arista Records in 1975 and J Records in 2000. His documentary will be available on Apple Music.

Prince’s 1980s band hits the road for memorial tour

BY JEFF BAENEN Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — For members of Prince’s 1980s backing band The Revolution, reuniting and hitting the road for a spring U.S. tour is how they are coping with the “Purple Rain” pop superstar’s unexpected death a year ago.

“We’re taking it to the people who are grieving like we are, and letting them have a little bit of relief,” guitarist Wendy Melvoin, sitting on a couch with other members of the band during a break at their Minneapolis rehearsal space, said.

When Prince died of an accidental painkiller overdose, members of The Revolution were mourn-

ing at a Minneapolis hotel and made an impromptu video, promising to reunite for shows honoring their one-time flamboyant front man. After three sold-out shows at the fabled First Avenue nightclub (the setting of Prince’s hit 1984 movie “Purple Rain”) in September, The Revolution is back, preparing to kick off a tour.

The tour includes stops in Chicago, Washington, D.C., New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles and San Francisco before ending in Seattle on July 15.

Melvoin is joined by bassist BrownMark, keyboardists Matt Fink and Lisa Coleman, and drummer Bobby Z. The re-

united Revolution plans to play Prince’s synthesizer-heavy 1980s music through his lauded 1987 double album “Sign o’ the Times.”

“We have the ability now to give people a glimpse of what we experienced with him,” BrownMark said. “And I think that’s a powerful thing. I know it helped me heal.”

While Prince had a reputation as a perfectionist, members of The Revolution remember the good times goofing in the studio.

“We had fun. We had a lot of fun. Sometimes we would be rehearsing and we’d crack up, we’d just laugh for an hour, cracking jokes,” BrownMark recalls.

the Winery at Williams Landing, which specializes in wines made from Mississippi-grown muscadine grapes. Pick up a bottle for dinner at Lusco’s, a BYOB restaurant famous for whole grilled pompano fish and for curtained booths that offered cotton traders privacy for business deals, romantic liaisons and alcohol consumption.

A unique lodging option in the Delta is spending the night in a preserved sharecropper’s shack at the Shack Up Inn in Clarksdale or at Tallahatchie Flats in Greenwood. Some travelers may find the concept offensive as a sugarcoating of the misery experienced by those who had no choice but to live this way.

But for others, a night spent in a rustic cabin that rattles with the howling wind or shakes to its foundations in a thunderstorm may evoke the very vulnerability that makes the blues so haunting.

State convention success

Nine students from Alcorn Career and Technology Center Technology Student Association recently participated in the Association’s three day State Convention and Competition in Tupelo. Students participated in Digital Video Production, Music Production, On-Demand Video Production, and Technology Problem Solving. All students participated in events on the District level before being eligible to compete on the State level. Students participating at the State Technology Student Association were (from left) Jackson Strickland, Jacob Pegg, Kelli Kiddy, Joe Perry, J’Lista Pams, Carleigh Holt, Bailey Mills, Logan Null, and Skyler Martin.

The three member Digital Video Production team from the Alcorn Career and Technology Center placed second in the state for its event, which consisted of producing a video informing the public of the dangers of living in a digital world.

It promoted the aspects of being a good digital citizen. The team includes (from left) Kelli Kiddy, Jacob Pegg, and Jackson Strickland.

Students attend 4-H Congress NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jacob Genung and Johnathan Martin, freshmen at McNairy Central, spent their Spring Break at Tennessee 4-H Congress.

“I got to meet State Representative Ron Gant.

He was a very interesting and nice guy to meet,” said Jacob Genung. “We gave him a broom that was personally made by Jack Martin of Hockaday Handmade Brooms. We gave him a small broom, too. He said he was going to hang it up in his office.

You could really tell that he appreciated both of

them. Going to the State Capitol was a very interesting event.”

Genung said they got to sit in the Senate chamber where they go to pass bills. They discussed mock bills there. He recalled that one of the bills that was discussed was starting school later in the day. And I’m talking about, these kids got into it! They were going back and forth on the bill; it was extremely interesting to hear what they had to say about it. Finally, the bill was defeated.

“The History Bowl was

also an interesting event.

I won the chance to compete at Congress by being one of the two highest scorers at the regional contest. It was two kids from every region; there were Eastern, Central, and Western regions. The Eastern Region came in first; Western (my team) got second, and Central got third. Questions were about Tennessee History, and we had to buzz in first to answer,” said Genung.

MSU’s Keenum, U.S. Senator Cochran work to grow Morocco partnerships U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) and Mississippi State University President Mark E. Keenum were part of a recent U.S. delegation to Morocco that explored U.S.-Morocco relations and their implications across the African continent, as well as ways to grow beneficial partnerships.

The visit provided insight into Morocco’s changing political and economic landscape, as well as U.S.-Morocco cooperation in the areas of commerce, education, economic development and humanitarian assistance. During the visit, Cochran and Keenum met with officials from Université Internationale de Rabat (UIR), which has a nationally-recognized partnership with Mississippi State to provide academic programs in aerospace and mechanical engineering.

“The United States has an interest in improving economic, educational, and security ties with Morocco and other North

African countries. I was pleased to take part in the discussions,” said Cochran, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

In addition to Keenum, five other MSU representatives were part of the visit to Morocco. MSU and UIR launched a program in 2015 that allows Moroccan students to study at Mississippi State and earn a diploma of engineering from UIR and bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MSU. Since the program’s launch, the two universities have continued to explore other academic partnerships and research collaborations.

“This visit represents an excellent opportunity for Senator Thad Cochran to get a first-hand look at the work Mississippi State is doing in this important international collaboration with our academic colleagues in Morocco,” said Keenum, who was named Honorary Consul to the Kingdom of Morocco in 2015. “Our hosts in Mo-

rocco were particularly impressed to receive an official visit from such a highranking official in the U.S. government as Senator Cochran.”

Earlier this year, the MSU-UIR partnership received the Institute of International Education’s Andrew Heiskell Award for International Partnerships. The collaboration between the two universities is now featured as a “best practice” in international education by the IIE. Since the academic program began, Morocco has become one of the top 10 countries sending students to MSU, allowing for increased cultural exchange between students at both universities.

MSU and UIR’s relationship began based on complementary strengths in the field of engineering and has expanded to include collaborations and exchanges that will enhance education and economic development in both Morocco and Mississippi.

A park news release says an event Thursday commemorated the start of the last initiative for the uncompleted 16-mile section of road between Walland and Wears Valley.
