At 83, James Anthony “Tony” Ferguson Sr. has stories to tell. He enjoys sharing memories of a long and varied life, from selling tamales on the streets of Corinth to running track against Medgar Evers at Alcorn State University to operating a hyperbaric chamber at the University of Minnesota. He is one of the five sons from the Ferguson family known for the tamale carts seen on the streets of Corinth years ago. “Everybody in the family made hot tamales,” he said. Please see FERGUSON | 7A

Aaron elected to go with the exercise route. “It has been six weeks since the surgery and I feel great,” he said. “I had never done a 10K before, but it has always been something I wanted to try.” Rogers finished with a time of 1:48.44 in the 50-54 age division as 1,293 competed in the 34th Annual Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K.

Aaron Rogers had plans to participate in his first Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K. Those intentions seemed unclear when Rogers suffered a heart attack on March 12. “The doctor told me I was lucky to be alive,” said Rogers as he prepared to walk his first Corinth event with his wife Sandra on Saturday. Rogers had the attack while at work at Caterpillar. His goal of walking his first 10K appeared to be over after doctors performed the four-bypass procedure.

Dorothy Denton was trying something different in her 12th run in Corinth. “I wanted to have fun this year,” said Denton, who was dressed as a human Coke bottle thanks to Corinth race founder Kenneth Williams. Denton called Williams and told him of her plans. The race founder informed the runner he had just what she needed. “He let me borrow a bottle costume he had,” said Denton. Denton began her run in Corinth in 2004, making the

Local/Region Across the Region Two Tishomingo residents charged with burglary

On May 3, 1765, the first school of medicine in the American colonies, the Medical School of the College of Philadelphia (now the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania), was founded.

IUKA — Two Tishomingo County residents have been charged with burglary. Justin Johnson, 33, and Samantha Blair, 38, were arrested for two counts of burglary, according to Tishomingo County Sheriff Glenn Whitlock. The couple were charged with burglary of a residence and burglary of a vehicle in the Oldham area of Tishomingo County. Both suspects have a $10,000 bond each.

In 1802, Washington D.C., was incorporated as a city. In 1916, Irish nationalist Padraic Pearse and two others were executed by the British for their roles in the Easter Rising. In 1945, during World War II, Allied forces recaptured Rangoon (Yangon) from the Japanese. In 1952, the Kentucky Derby was televised nationally for the first time on CBS; the winner was Hill Gail. In 1975, America’s oldest operational aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz, was commissioned. In 1979, Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher was chosen to become Britain’s first female prime minister as the Tories ousted the incumbent Labor government in parliamentary elections. In 1986, in NASA’s first post-Challenger launch, an unmanned Delta rocket lost power in its main engine shortly after liftoff, forcing safety officers to destroy it by remote control. In 1999, some 70 tornadoes roared across Oklahoma and Kansas, killing 46 people and injuring hundreds.

Prentiss County industries honored BOONEVILLE — A pair of industries whose steady growth has shown their commitment to Prentiss County have been honored as this year’s Industries of the Year. The Prentiss County Develop-

ment Association recognized South Central Polymers (SCP) as the 2015 small industry of the year and Southern Motion as the year’s large industry of the year. SCP has grown from a oneman operation opened in 2009 by owner Bud Hanna into an ever expanding company that now employees more than 50 people and continues to grow as a provider of custom plastic molded parts to numerous industries. PCDA President Travis Childers said the county is grateful for Hanna’s commitment to growing his business in the community as well as the company’s role as a strong contributor to numerous community activities and events. Hanna accepted the honor with heartfelt thanks to his employees and customers who have believed in what they

are doing from the beginning. He also thanked PCDA and all those in local government and economic development for their support. He said there’s no place he’d rather be doing business. “I’m dedicated to being here,” he said. Southern Motion, a furniture manufacturer located in the Baldwyn industrial park, has grown to more than 150 employees since its opening and recently announced another expansion that will add more than 60 new jobs. Childers said PCDA is grateful that the Pontotoc-based company chose to put its faith in Prentiss County by opening its second plant in the community. “It’s a very well-run and wellmanaged operation by a company that’s well-committed to Prentiss County,” said Childers.

May proclaimed Mental Health Month Most of us know about the importance about taking care of our health—eating right, getting enough sleep, exercising. Healthy habits positively influence how a person feels and how their body functions. But good health involves so much more that. It involves not only taking care of our bodies, but our minds as well. Our mental health plays an integral role in our overall health, and far too many of us fail to incorporate this into our health choices. On Wednesday, Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin met with representatives from Magnolia Regional Health Center and Crossroads Center for Emotional Care, located at the hospital also, to officially proclaim the month of May as “Mental Health Month” in the city of Corinth. “I am excited to proclaim this month “Mental Health Month” for the city of Corinth, because of the tremendous cause it represents,” said Mayor Irwin. “Often times, people only pay attention to their physical well-being, so by doing this, I hope that it will make people take notice of their mental well-being as well. I’m proud to partner with Magnolia

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin is joined by local mental health professionals from Magnolia Regional Health Center and Crossroads Center for Emotional Care as he presents a proclamation designating May as Mental Health Month. Regional Health Center and Crossroads Center for Emotional Care in the signing of this proclamation, and I hope it has a positive impact on the lives of people in Corinth.” Most people might describe mental health as a certain state of mind or just the way we think about things, such as life and ourselves. But it is merely the way we cope with daily life and the challenges it brings. When people show signs of “good” mental health, they deal with problems and situations very well when they come their way. On the other hand, individuals with “poor” mental health often experience feelings of stress

and depression. Many times, stress and depression are accompanied by greater risk of physical illnesses. The purpose of designating this month as “Mental Health Month”, is to shine some light on the causes and effects that “poor” mental health has on each one of us. The good news is there are many healthy choices and steps we can adopt to promote “good” mental health, which in return has a positive effect on our overall health and well-being. By taking control of our mental health and recognizing ways to overcome it, we can prevent the onset of mental disorders such as depression and

anxiety, but also physical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic health problems. By recognizing this month, MRHC and Crossroads Center for Emotional Care hopes to raise awareness of the role mental health plays in our lives and to provide tips and resources so anyone can take steps to promote good mental health. These include building social support, eating with your mental health in mind, recogniz-

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

‘Y’ gets new life, needs community support for success Kiwanis Club member Zane Elliott perhaps summed up Corinth’s emotional ties to the Sportplex when he asked at last week’s meeting an interesting question directed at fellow club members. Elliott asked for a show of hands of anyone present who had played a sport at the local recreational facility, formally called Corinth YMCA or the Corinth Y. Over half of the hands in the room went into the air. This could happen at any meeting in Corinth involving most any generation. The “Y” has been a part of many people’s lives over the years, whether it be swimming, water exercise, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, weightlifting or a host of other activities, such as yoga, exercise classes, summer camps, day camps and lock-ins. It’s been the home of many tournaments, including the crowning of state champs. Youth and adults of all races with both men and women, the Sportsplex always had an open door. Many youth literally “grew up” at the “Y.” It was with great sadness as we watched the deterioration of the Sportsplex as it fell into disrepair and lack of use over the past few years. Ultimately, the news of the group over the facility filing bankruptcy and a significant amount owned on back taxes was a sad day — not just for Corinth — but the entire Crossroads area. Just when most of us left the Sportsplex for dead, along came longtime Corinth physician Pat Tucker, who has purchased the bankrupted facility and paid all back taxes. It was a major investment to pull the “Y” from its grave, as Dr. Tucker acquired the property from a debt collection company. The physician told the Daily Corinthian last week he acquired the property on faith to develop a youth ministry. His vision is to create a new multi-denominational, non-profit youth sports ministry, and to offer programs to the community. Tucker founded the Crossroads Youth Ministry Association to operate the property, which he said will now be known as 101. The numbers are inspired by basic courses offered in college, commonly called 101 “We are going to work to feed the youth who come to this facility the basics -- not only in sports, but how to be good human beings and how to be Christians,” said Dr. Tucker. The association and 101 will be managed by Tucker and a community-wide board of pastors and successful Christian businesspeople. The facility will offer free indoor ministry for youth and be accessible by local ministries. Financial support will come from community donations and the continued leases of certain areas on the property. This is where the community can come in. We encourage everyone to get involved in Dr. Tucker’s efforts to bring the Sportsplex back to its glory days. There is much work to do and it will take both money and huge effort. Dr. Tucker said the building on the property has many structural problems and he hopes to have church and community support to make the necessary repairs and upgrades. Think about what the “Y” has done for you and your family and think about paying back. Dr. Tucker took a large leap of faith. Let us all join forces and take an even bigger leap for what this could do for our community — and our future youth. It’s called Community Pay Forward 101. Enroll now.

Continue to exercise voting privilege I grew up in Detroit, in an environment where one was supposed to be Democrat and where people constantly told me that Republicans were evil and racist people. As I entered my teenage years, I did not have the exposure to the political world that is more easily afforded young people via technology today. I did not develop my own train of thought regarding political parties and what politicians could help accomplish for myself, my family and my community. The first presidential election in which I could vote was in 1972, which saw George McGovern face off against Richard Nixon. As a student of Yale University, I found it comforting to follow my classmates and vote Democrat. While McGovern fell dramatically to Nixon, I still identified with Democrats and voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976 as he battled Gerald Ford. I decided to vote for Carter again in 1980, as he seemed like a decent person. However, he would lose in a landslide to Ronald Reagan. During Reagan’s first term, I had just begun my neurosurgery residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. I had exposure to many patients

with unfulfilled lives because they were becoming dependent on government Ben p r o g r a m s , Carson and it struck me as the Columnist wrong way to go. Almost all of my patients were on some kind of medical assistance and social welfare programs, and their lives were in shambles. Simultaneously, I listened to President Reagan’s speeches and he did not seem evil and racist, as portrayed by the Democrats. In fact, I viewed him as a decent, trustworthy man who was a true leader. Thus, in 1984, I voted for Reagan. This was a pivotal moment in my life, as I allowed myself to make a decision based on who the candidate was and his capabilities. This was contrary to voting based solely on party affiliation, which I had been conditioned to do my entire young adulthood. Fast forward to 1988 and 1992. I voted for George H.W. Bush, who seemed very pro-American and preached the importance of caring for everyone. My

ways of voting Republican continued in 1996 because of Bob Dole’s strong military and war record (U.S. Army second lieutenant during World War II), a man who appeared compassionate, was a strong leader, and who thrived as Senate majority leader for eight years. Although Dole did not win, I still believed strongly in my conservative values and realized that the more you build in your life and in your career, and the more you raise children, the more conservative and the less liberal you become. When George W. Bush campaigned in 2000, his policies and general philosophy appeared more in line with my beliefs. The same held true in 2004, and I was intent on him seeing through what he had started in Iraq and other parts of the world. The country had been exposed to dangerous forces that threatened our way of life, and President Bush was adamant about protecting our nation. 2008 was monumental for the United States, with Barack Obama becoming the first African-American with a legitimate chance of winning the presidency. I was torn by history, being an African-American my-

self and understanding the tribulations that my race had endured over time. Nevertheless, I understood that Obama did not represent me as an American. Instead, Senator John McCain’s principles and military experience earned him my vote. The financial crisis that devastated our economy would prove to be an important factor in the next election, and I believed we needed someone with sound business acumen and an ability to lead the nation towards prosperity. With the risk of a growing national debt and frivolous spending, it was clear to me that the man I voted for, Mitt Romney, would be a more able candidate in uplifting the economy. Voting is critical to holding our elected officials accountable for their actions and inactions. Continue to exercise that amazing privilege and vote the leadership that is necessary to move our great nation forward. (Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University and author of the new book “One Nation: What We Can All Do To Save America’s Future” – Sentinel.)

Paul right to demand reporters ask about abortions It was sort of inevitable that on his first day of campaigning as an announced candidate for president earlier this month, Rand Paul would be asked whether he supported a ban on abortions in cases of rape or incest. Reporters have been asking Republican candidates that question ever since 2012, when the Missouri Republican Senate candidate said he supported such a ban and added that pregnancies were unlikely in cases of “legitimate rape.” But Paul’s reply wasn’t what the reporter expected. “Why don’t we ask the (Democratic National Committee) is it OK to kill a seven-pound baby in the uterus? You go back and go ask (DNC Chair) Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she’s OK with killing a seven-pound baby that’s just not born yet. “Ask her when life begins, and ask Debbie when she’s willing to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me.” Reporters didn’t have to ask Wasserman Shultz, who quickly tweeted in reply, “I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story.” In

other words, any abortion before birth is OK. That’s consistent with the platform adopted Michael at the 2012 Barone Democratic National Columnist Convention. It’s also a position, like Akin’s, not supported by a large majority of the American people. Large majorities oppose recriminalizing all abortions. But large majorities also support limits on abortion, including banning them after 20 weeks (when about one-quarter of babies can survive) or 24 weeks (when half or more can). The Democratic National chairman and the Democratic national platform say that abortions are permissible beyond that time. If reporters can ask Republicans all over the country whether they share the view of a past Republican Missouri Senate nominee, shouldn’t they be able to ask Democrats all over the country whether they share the view of the national Democratic Party’s chair and platform? It’s not big news when a party’s Senate nominee

in one state disagrees with the party’s Senate nominee in another. That happens fairly often. It’s bigger news -- not earthshaking news, but bigger news -- when a party’s Senate nominee disagrees with the party’s national leaders. So Rand Paul was on solid ground when he refused to answer the rape-and-incest question until reporters started asking Democrats the 7-pound-baby question. Including, certainly, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. Which conscientious reporters will do if they consider it more important to do their jobs fairly than to help candidates they like or causes they support. “Abortion should remain legal, but it needs to be safe and rare,” Clinton said on the 2008 campaign trail. She has also claimed that the decision to have an abortion is “one in which the government should have no role.” As a senator, she voted against the partial-birth abortion ban and against a bill to make it a crime to harm a fetus in the course of committing a violent crime. During her 2000 Senate campaign she said, “I can support a ban on late-term

abortions, including partial-birth abortions, so long as the health and life of the mother is protected.” But as those who follow the issue know, “health of the mother” is a loophole that devours the law. The courts have interpreted “health” to include emotional health, and it seems reasonable to assume that most women with unwanted pregnancies are suffering some emotional distress. So let the reporters who ask Hillary Clinton and other Democrats their views on late-term abortions keep in mind, for use in follow-up questions, that the “health” exception means abortion at every stage is permitted. On this issue, many Democrats are out of step with public opinion. Rand Paul is right that reporters who avoid questioning them about that are remiss in their journalistic duty.

Judge Andrew Gordon ruled Friday that International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1224 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strike in order to gain leverage over the airline while both sides are in mediation under federal law. The union argued that it is allowed to strike because the company had not obeyed a court order to restore work rules in its pilot-labor contract. Allegiant, which is based in Las Vegas, says in a statement that the order will prevent disruption of travel for thousands of passengers.

Camps teach kids about cybersecurity MONTPELIER, Vt. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The federal government is helping to teach kids the basics of cybersecurity by offering more than 40 expenses-paid camps across the country this summer. At Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Norwich University, 20 high school students will build computers theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to take home. At Dakota State University in South Dakota, about 200 students will learn about programming. In Southern California, 250 middle school Girl Scouts will be given tiny computers, the opportunity to fly drones and earn special patches. The camps are part of a program called GenCyber. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being funded by the National Science Foundation and National Security Agency. The agencies are taking the long view in fulfilling a need for cybersecurity experts, both in government and private industry.

Museum expands immigration historyÂ NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Not all the stories at Ellis Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immigration museum are about someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-grandfather who arrived as a boy from Europe at the start of the 20th century. With the unveiling of a new exhibition next month, Ellis Island is tell-

ing stories of immigrants who have come as recently as the start of this century. Combined with a section that opened in 2011 looking at immigration pre-Ellis Island, the museum is taking on a broader mission of showcasing the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire migration history, not just the part of it that happened while Ellis Island operated from 1892 to 1954.

Scientists working on bird flu questionsÂ DES MOINES, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been five months since the H5N2 bird flu virus was discovered in the U.S., and producers have lost more than 21 million birds in the Midwest alone. Yet, researchers with federal agencies acknowledge they still know little about the virusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; origin and how it spreads, especially with heightened biosecurity measures at commercial poultry farms and the apparent lack of widespread deaths in largely unprotected backyard flocks. A leader with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says not much is known about the virus because it only surfaced in the U.S. in early December. Unanswered questions include how exactly the virus finds its way into sheltered commercial chicken and turkey flocks and if wild birds spread the virus why more backyard flocks havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t died.

Cold weather keeps skiers, riders stokedÂ CONCORD, N.H. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Skiers and snowboarders at Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sugarbush resort this weekend can spend the morning on the slopes and play golf in the afternoon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; testament to the abundance of snow that extended the ski season throughout northern New England. Sugarbush is one of more than half dozen areas in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine still operating this weekend. New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wildcat Mountain in Pinkham Notch prides itself on being the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last ski area open in the spring but marketing director Thomas Prindle says they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it into

Charges are mixed news for Christie NEWARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The charges handed down against three former allies of Gov. Chris Christie in the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal provide mixed news for the Republican governor as he tries to regain momentum in support of an expected presidential bid. Christie appears to have been cleared of any allegations that he personally participated in a scheme to shut down access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September 2013. But the charges brought by the U.S. Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office in New Jersey still hit close to home: Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former deputy chief of staff and his former top appointee to the authority that controls the bridge were indicted. Another former ally pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy.

Japan premier touts U.S. economic ties Â LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United States and Japan will work toward strengthened economic ties, including promoting more direct investment in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets and approval of a Pacific trade agreement, officials said Friday. Speaking through an interpreter, Abe said during the Los Angeles stop in his U.S. visit that he envisioned a new era of cooperation between the two allies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an â&#x20AC;&#x153;alliance of hopeâ&#x20AC;? that included growing investments and closer business and political ties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must reinforce an economic architecture that will shape and secure our future,â&#x20AC;? U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said at a Japan-U.S. economic forum downtown attended by visiting Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two essential cornerstones of that architecture: increasing two-way investment and deepening tradeâ&#x20AC;? through a trans-Pacific agreement, Pritzker said.

Felony drunk driving leads to prison term GULFPORT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Gulfport man with seven drunken-driving arrests since 1999 has been sentenced to prison. The Sun Herald reportsÂ a jury on Thursday found 40-year-old Jonathan Richardson guilty of felony DUI stemming from an October 2012 arrest. Harrison County Circuit Judge Lisa Dodson sentenced Richardson to the maximum penalty of five years in prison District Attorney Joel Smith says a witness called 911 after seeing a pickup truck weaving in traffic. The witness saw the truck park in an alley. A police officer testified Richardson was passed out in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat with headlights on, keys in the ignition, an open can of beer in the center console and an opened 12-pack in the passenger seat. Dodson ordered Richardson to attend an alcohol and drug treatment program in prison.

Eagle atop Capitol gets new gold layerÂ JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The eagle atop the Mississippi Capitol has a new golden glow. Craftsmen recently coated the statue with a fresh layer of 23Âž karat gold leaf. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about

$10,000 worth of material manufactured in Italy especially for this project. The work is part of an overall restoration of the 112-year-old statehouse, designed to keep the building in good working shape for decades to come. The eagle is made of copper and has always been covered in gold. Although it looks considerably smaller from ground level, the statue is 8 feet, 5 inches tall from its base to the top of its wings and is 14 feet, 2 inches wide from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. Craftsmen from a Maryland-based company, Gildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Studio, used chemicals to strip away the gilding that had been put on the big bird back in 1980. They needed only 3 ounces of gold leaf to cover the eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire textured surface â&#x20AC;&#x201D; beak, feathers and all. How much is 3 ounces? Imagine the weight of a small apple.

King in hospice care at Las Vegas home Â LAS VEGAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Blues legend B.B. King remains in hospice care Saturday at his home in Las Vegas. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime business manager Laverne Toney says the musician had a good night and she welcomed the con-

cern about his health. Toney has legal control over Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affairs. The 89-year-old musician posted thanks on his official website for fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; well-wishes and prayers on Friday after returning home from a brief hospitalization. The hospitalization was the second in a month for King, who was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Troopers say driver caused fatal wreckÂ REFORM, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; State troopers say an inattentive driver from Aberdeen caused a crash that killed a west Alabama school bus driver. Local media report Daniel Alexander Bunch of Aberdeen, Mississippi, was driving an SUV when he ran a stop sign and hit a Pickens County school bus. The bus hit a tree. WBRC-TV reportsÂ a report release by state troopers says the SUV driver â&#x20AC;&#x153;stated he was not paying attention and did not see the stop sign.â&#x20AC;? Bus driver Sharon Beard Hood died from injuries suffered in the April 10 wreck. At least two of 14 students on the bus suffered serious injuries.

Films on Fillmore event in the C.A.R.E. Garden. “I love to give back,” Willis said. “It makes me happy.” The Hardin County, Tenn. native serves on eight different community boards, including the Corinth Arts Council, The Alliance, the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Mississippi, Crosswind Ministry and the Lighthouse Foundation. “I had a reputation in Tupelo of being an active volunteer — I’m kind of a person that will say yes to just about any kind of volunteer activity,” he said. “It’s been real easy in Corinth, because everyone is so welcoming — it’s made me want to be active and help wherever

“God works in mysterious ways. He has brought us all back together.” Rick Willis I’m needed.” During his 24 years at BancorpSouth, he worked at locations in the Tupelo and Booneville. Willis and his wife, Linda, moved to Corinth in February 2013 when he took the president seat following the retirement of long time banker Terry Cartwright. “Corinth is a great city. We love the downtown area and the close-knit community,” he said. “We haven’t really found anything we don’t like about Corinth — it’s already like home to us.”

Willis also serves as market president and spends at least one day a week at one of the area’s other BancorpSouth locations in Booneville, Iuka, Tishomingo and Selmer, Tenn. “We are blessed with some amazing employees at Corinth, and all of the locations I cover,” said the Freed Hardeman University graduate. “We have a lot of long term employees with a world of experience — it makes doing your banking business at BancorpSouth even better.”

When Willis took the Corinth job, he had no idea what was in store. “We are now closer to our family then ever,” he said. “It was an unexpected surprise.” The Willis’ daughter, Courtney Monoghan and her family had lived in Texas for several years. “A job opened up at The West Clinic and Courtney’s husband got it,” Willis added. “Now our daughter and three granddaughters live right across town.” The Willis’ other daughter, Mary Beth, teaches at the University of North Alabama — a short onehour drive from the Crossroads. “God works in mysterious ways,” he said. “He has brought us all back together.”

BALTIMORE — Chants of “no justice, no peace, no racist police” echoed through the streets of Baltimore Saturday during a march that organizers billed as a “victory rally” a day after a prosecutor charged six officers involved in the arrest of a man who died in police custody. State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby on Friday charged the six with felonies ranging from assault to murder in the death of Freddie Gray. He died from spinal injuries a week after his April 12 arrest. It provoked riots on the streets of West Baltimore and quickly became a rallying cry against police brutality and social inequality in the city and elsewhere.

The march was to be a mass protest of Gray’s d treatment by police, but after Mosby’s announcement, the tone had changed to more celebratory. At Gilmor Homes, a group of demonstrators, both black and white, young and older, congregated. “Are you ready to march for justice?” Kwame Rose, 20, of Baltimore, said. The crowded chanted, “Yes.” “Are you all ready to march for peace?” Rose asked. “Yeah,” the group answered. Black Lawyers for Justice expected at least 10,000 people to show up downtown. Smaller groups gathered and made their way through the streets to join the thousands at the main rally at City Hall.

way to show they care. If I could be seen by all mankind, maybe peace will come in my lifetime.” Emblems of each branch of the military and a purple heart symbol appear on back of the monument. Modern Woodmen has worked closely with MOPH on the fundraising project. Organizers had to come up with $5,000 to place an order. Modern Woodmen pledged to match $2,500 of the cost. “Everything is just right,” said Modern Woodmen’s Steven Eaton. “There are no mistakes on it … it is perfect.” Bricks, which will provide a walkway around the red stone monument, continue to be sold. The bricks, which are being sold for $50, can be purchased to honor a relative who is a veteran. “You do not have to have a Purple Heart to purchase a paver,” said Jerry Eaton. “The pavers are for all veterans,” added Jerry Eaton’s son, Steven. Rank, name, branch of service, service dates and war served in will all appear on the bricks. “We are shooting for July 1 to have all orders in place,” said Steven. Thus far 218 bricks have been purchased. “With over 7,000 veterans in Alcorn County, we were shooting for 500 bricks to be sold,” said Harris. The monument is expected to be placed at the Alcorn County Courthouse in about a month. “Right now, we are looking for the best person to put the bricks in place and do the concrete work,” said Steven.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circuit Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has long musical history On Saturday I plan to see Mississippi blues musician Bobby Rush in concert. Although, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my first time to see Rush, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to bet that not all Mississippians know who Stacy he is or Jones have even heard of The him. Dowtowner I saw Rush perform last fall at the Crossroads Arena in Corinth. It had been years since I had seen him at the annual Delta Blues Festival in Greenville, back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s when I was still in college. Although perhaps not widely known, Rush is seminal in Mississippi music history. He is not originally from Mississippi, but not long after he moved to the state in 1980, he earned the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;King of the Chitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circuit.â&#x20AC;?

town. The list of performers who worked the Chitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circuit reads like a Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Who of African American performers, including Count Basie, B.B. King, Richard Pryor, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holliday, Etta James, Otis Redding, and Bobby â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blueâ&#x20AC;? Bland, to name only a few. The term preferred now is apparently â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban theater circuit,â&#x20AC;? although segregated venues are a thing of the past. Rush, well-connected with the former incarnation known as the Chitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circuit, is originally from Homer, La. Born Emmett Ellis, Jr. in 1935, Rush moved as a child with his family to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He made his first instrument, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;diddleybow,â&#x20AC;? which had only one string, and he donned a mustache to look older so he could play in venues with the likes of Elmore James and other distin-

First, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circuitâ&#x20AC;? itself has an interesting history. From the early 19th century until at least the 1960s, African American blues singers, comedians, and other entertainers were relegated to performing in particular venues that were considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;safeâ&#x20AC;? in the midst of racial segregation. The name is derived from the obvious reference: the chitterlings, or cooked pork intestines, that often provided part of the fare at such events. Some of the best known theaters on the circuit included the Cotton Club and Apollo Theatre in New York, the Carver Theatre in Birmingham, the Regal Theatre in Chicago, the Howard Theatre in Washington, and the Uptown Theatre in Philadelphia. Blues singer Ruth Brown once said that a singer had made it on the Chitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circuit if he or she had performed at the Regal, the Apollo, the Howard, and the Up-

tured in 2003 in a documentary titled The Road to Memphis, part of the PBS series Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues. Rush is interesting because the roots of his music run back to racial segregation and present an offering that audiences cannot obtain through mainstream media. He has attempted to maintain both black and white audiences, adhering to a mantra of â&#x20AC;&#x153;crossover, not cross out.â&#x20AC;? Rush said of his performances, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;?What I do is a black thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the beginning of B.B. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career it never crossed his mind that there was gonna be a white audience today. He was just doing like I am now. Do what you do for the audience that will listen to you.â&#x20AC;? He describes what he does on stage as â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost like two lovers watching an X-rated movie. I sell myself to the lady thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into me, who wishes she had me. Then I put the

dancing girls on stage, where the men can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Baby, I wish that was you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; My whole thing is about a story and a dialogue from the time I walk out on stage until the time I leave,â&#x20AC;? he said. Away from the stage, Rush is a devoted grandfather, an activist who has performed in China and for troops in Iraq, and a man who has battled the loss of his first wife and three children to sicklecell anemia. Rush, a veteran blues performer who may not be well known among all Mississippians, is a performer who is part blues musician, part comedian, and part thespianâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and he always delivers a good show.

nician,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson. Later, he began working as an orderly and jumped at the chance to fill an opening for an xray technician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what an x-ray technician was, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be an orderly,â&#x20AC;? he said. That opportunity took him back to Lackland and on to other locations for training. After leaving the service, he took a job at the University of Minnesota. It was there that he operated a hyperbaric chamber. Ferguson, who recalls his first flight being a C-94 cargo plane headed to Biloxi, spent 13 years in the Air National Guard

as his fascination with planes continued. He became interested in the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black military aviators in the armed forces, and for some time provided x-rays and other services for the pilots, he said. Ferguson is a big follower of history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he is currently reading Nelson Mandelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long Walk to Freedomâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and has a manuscript of his own life story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to form a chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen right here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an inspiration. We need to become more inspired. We need to know more about our history.â&#x20AC;?

Later, he moved to Chicago, where he worked with blues musicians Howlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wolf, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, and both Albert and Freddie King (no relation). He learned to play guitar, bass, and harmonicaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and often transformed his act into a mixture of music, dance, and comedy. He called his approach â&#x20AC;&#x153;folk funk,â&#x20AC;? as it mixed contemporary sounds with themes borrowed from more traditional African American folklore and blues. In the early 1980s, he moved to Jackson, Mississippi, to be closer to his fan base and there he recorded on a Malaco Record label imprint. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the 1990s that Rush began to crossover to a white audience, and ultimately he was fea-

Buyers, buoyed by lower gasoline prices, flocked to crossover SUVS that handle like cars and sit up higher. The gains came at the expense of many small and midsize cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The demand for crossover SUVs is off the charts,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Fay, a Toyota group vice president. Erich Merkle, Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top sales analyst, said small SUVs accounted for almost 19 percent of industry sales last month, two percentage points higher than a year ago. General Motors Co., the top-selling automaker in the U.S., posted a 5.9 percent increase and sold 269,000 vehicles. Sales of the Chevrolet Equinox midsize SUV rose 42 percent to nearly 29,000, while sales of the Buick Encore small SUV gained 29 percent to nearly 5,600. But the Chevrolet Malibu midsize car fell nearly 13 percent, while sales of the Chevy Cruze compact dropped nearly 4 percent. Ford Motor Co. posted a 5 percent gain for its best April in nine years. The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker sold more than 222,000 cars and trucks last month, led by record SUV sales. The revamped Ford Edge midsize SUV posted its best April sales ever at just over 13,000, up 78 percent from a year ago. Ford sold 26,000 Escape small SUVs, up nearly 5 percent. Sales of the F-Series pickup, Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-selling vehicle, fell 1 percent to 63,000. The company continues to ramp up production of a new model with an aluminum body. Selling prices for the FSeries averaged a record $42,600, with lower monthly payments due to longer loans driving purchases of loaded-out trucks. GM sold 46,000 Chevrolet Silverado pickups, its best-seller, for a gain of nearly an 8 percent. Sales of the Ram pickup, Fiat Chrysler U.S. LLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topselling vehicle, rose 3 percent to just under 38,000. Fiat Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeep brand benefited from the SUV craze as well. Jeep posted its best-ever monthly sales at nearly 72,000, up 20 percent from a year ago. Overall, Fiat Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. sales rose about 6 percent. Toyota Motor Corp. reported a 1.8 percent sales increase to just over 203,000 with record April sales of the RAV4 small SUV and Highlander midsize SUV.

Prayer can turn to panic during restaurant outings DEAR ABBY: I’m comfortable with my faith and pray before a meal at home and at friends’ houses. We have become friendly with individuals from our church, and on many occasions have gone out to eat together at restaurants. W h e n Abigail the meal is out, Van Buren brought it has become a cusDear Abby tom to pray. I feel uncomfortable praying aloud in public, and have seen others at our table already eating when someone says, “Let’s pray.” My wife tells me to just go with it. But sometimes when the praying goes on for a lengthy time, I start to get sweaty and on the verge of a panic attack. I wish they would take into consideration that others may feel praying is a private matter. I don’t believe that because one person doesn’t want to do something, others shouldn’t do it. So what say you? When food is brought to the table, should I

dash to the restroom, or would that be rude? — PREFERS PRAYING PRIVATELY DEAR P.P.P.: No rule of etiquette decrees that you must pray out loud if someone else chooses to. Obviously, others in the group feel as you do, or they wouldn’t start eating. Because the situation makes you uncomfortable to the point of a panic attack, I think your solution to excuse yourself from the table for a few minutes is a good one -- provided you say over your shoulder that you could be gone “awhile” and no one should wait for you. DEAR ABBY: It will be three years since my mother passed. Her house was sold and the money split among me and my two sisters. I opened a separate bank account for my inheritance money. My partner of 16 years thinks I was wrong to do that and still throws it in my face. I spent the money on my children, grandchildren, taxes, bills, big flatscreen and stuff for him. (I also bought myself a pair of jeans.) I felt the money was my gift from my mom. I told my partner that when his parents pass, whatever they leave him will be his. It

doesn’t matter how close I am to them. Your opinion, please, and no, he wasn’t close to my mom. — A GIFT FROM MY MOTHER DEAR GIFT: In my opinion, your partner appears to be greedy and have an outsized sense of entitlement. If your mother had wanted your partner to get his hands on any of her estate, she would have put her wishes in writing. DEAR ABBY: I recently attended the funeral of my exhusband’s uncle. I wore a conservative suit in dark navy blue with a white blouse. Several family members criticized me for not wearing black. I assumed that because I’m no longer a family member, that I wasn’t required to dress as one. Should I have worn black? — DIVORCEE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR DIVORCEE: No. You showed respect for the deceased by attending. Sometimes funerals (and weddings) bring out the worst rather than the best in people. I’m surprised your ex-husband’s family took time out from their grief to notice what you were wearing. It appears no good deed goes unpunished.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone steered you wrong, and now that you realize it, you can take back the wheel and get on track. There’s no time for placing blame -- you have too much ground to cover. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Happiness and risk go together today. You won’t be content unless you’re on the verge of the unknown. Of all the different varieties of risk, social risk will take the most courage. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve learned that trying to get along with everyone all of the time can only lead to inconsistencies. Telling the truth is just easier. Better to disappoint through honesty than to please through lies. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re wondering why sitting around makes you so uncomfortable, it’s because you are a storehouse of knowledge and creativity and are bursting with ideas. You’re ready to get up, out and on with it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Halfhearted whims and casual interests are not enough to make wishes come true. You will do exactly what you wish to do as long as your wish is strong enough to carry you through to the realization. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When the situation gets tough, the tough don’t fret and fume -that only makes things worse. You prove your exceptional character by not only taking things on, but also by doing so without complaint. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stolen moments of time add up. You could learn something remarkable, like a language or a musical instrument, with a short period of daily practice, and this is a fine day to start. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your social instincts will be even keener than usual. You’ll meet new people and get an immediate sense of how well you’ll get along and where to take the relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). It will feel like the people around you are working just to make you happy. Maybe they are, or maybe your needs happen to line up precisely with what they most want to deliver. Either way, you win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Nothing is inherently good or bad, beautiful or ugly. You decide. However you see it, it will broaden your mind to challenge yourself to also see it the other way, if only for a moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are times when it’s best to stay put and beckon the thing you want to come to you. Then there are times to pursue. Your cosmic gift is an instinct for whether to stay or go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). First impressions, though they are sometimes wrong, are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to erase. It’s one more reason to put time and thought into your presentation.

Grizzlies, Warriors in conference semis The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Golden State Warriors waited a week to play another playoff game, and they’re still not exactly sure who they’re facing in the Western Conference semifinals. Sure, they know they’ll host the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 on Sunday. They just have no idea whether Mike Conley can play after having surgery to repair broken bones in his face or how Memphis will adjust without its point guard. “I’m not ruling him out until I don’t see him on the court in Game 1,” Warriors center Andrew Bogut said. “He’s

got a week to prepare. These pills these days do wonderful things. We’re preparing like he’s playing. You never know what’s going to happen. They could make him an Iron Man mask. Who knows?” Conley traveled to the Bay Area with the Grizzlies. The team has said the swelling in Conley’s face must subside before he can be fitted for a protective mask — a clear, plastic one — that he’ll need when he returns. When that happens is anybody’s guess. This much is certain: the Grizzlies are among the NBA’s most formidable and physical teams regardless of who’s on the floor.

“We believe we can get it done,” Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said. These two teams spent most of the season atop the West standings and many thought they might not meet until the conference finals. The top-seeded Warriors won a franchise-record 67 games before sweeping New Orleans in the first round. They’ve been almost unbeatable on their home floor, going 41-2 at raucous Oracle Arena, including winning their past 20 games. Memphis slipped to the fifth seed in the final week of the regular season before dispatching the short-handed

Portland Trail Blazers in five games. The Grizzlies are in the conference semifinals for the third time in five years, and their playoff-tested pedigree gives them reason to believe they can overcome Conley’s absence if needed. “I have confidence in my teammates,” Grizzlies center Marc Gasol said. “I know we have talent. We have competitiveness. I have no doubt in my mind that we can win against anybody in this league.” The Grizzlies gave Golden State fits the past few years, Please see SEMIS | 11A

American Pharoah wins Kentucky Derby The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Brilliant but untested, American Pharoah was put to a fight in the Kentucky Derby and won. Sent off as the 5-2 favorite by the record crowd of 170,513, the brown colt rallied in the stretch to beat Firing Line by a length Saturday and deliver trainer Bob Baffert’s fourth Derby win and first

since 2002. “It’s a fantasy moment for us,” said a joyous Baffert, surrounded by his three older sons and his youngest, 10-year-old Bode, who jumped up and down and waved his arms in celebration. Baffert also saddled thirdplace Dortmund, the other part of his lethal 1-2 punch in the 141st Derby. Firing Line

finished second. “We were ready to rumble,” Baffert said. Dortmund set a leisurely pace with Firing Line tracking him closely in second. American Pharoah sat comfortably in third down the backstretch. That trio made it a threehorse race in the stretch, with none of the closers able to make up ground. American

Pharoah angled outside and fought off a persistent Firing Line as Dortmund tired along the rail. Victor Espinoza won his second consecutive Derby a year after being aboard California Chrome, and third overall. “He’s been a special horse Please see DERBY | 11A

NFL Draft: Jets, Packers wheel and deal for quarterbacks The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Quarterbacks Bryce Petty and Brett Hundley found their way into the NFL on Day 3 of the draft Saturday — heading to entirely different circumstances. Baylor’s Petty went to the New York Jets, who’ve had inconsistency at the position for years. UCLA’s Hundley will journey to Green Bay, where hardly anyone can remember the last time the Packers had questions behind center.

The Jets made an early splash in the fourth round after a night of contemplating who remained on the board. New York moved up one spot in a deal with Jacksonville to get the prolific passer who operated a spread offense in college. Petty will have plenty to learn in the pros, and will have Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Simms ahead on the depth chart. But the Jets have not

truly been set at quarterback since the days of Chad Pennington, and new coach Todd Bowles has no ties to the other QBs. As for the big transition, Petty was confident he can do it smoothly. “What I was asked to do in college, it was different, but it’s not because I couldn’t do a pro-style offense or West Coast offense or whatever,” he said. It’s what I was told to do, and I did it.”

Hundley, who went in the first round of some mock drafts, instead had to wait until No. 147 overall. His next stop is Lambeau Field, hardly a quarterbacking abyss. “I think Green Bay is the perfect organization to learn as much as possible, and they have the best coaches to help me do that,” Hundley said. “And Aaron Rodgers.” Another quarterback went in the fourth round — well a former QB, Blake

Bell of Oklahoma. The “Belldozer” is now a tight end and wound up San Francisco. “In your eyes, you’re kind of just, ‘Hey, I played quarterback before. So, it’s I can see the coverage, man, zone, what the corner’s doing, linebackers, D-ends, stuff like that,’ “ he said. “It obviously helped.” Tennessee began the fourth round by taking defensive tackle Angelo Blackson of Auburn. His

partner at the position with the Tigers, Gabe Wright, went to Detroit soon after. Cincinnati chose cornerback Josh Shaw of Southern California, who had a 10-game suspension when he lied to school officials about how he sprained his ankles in a preseason fall. Shaw jumped 20 feet from a balcony following an argument with his girlfriend in late August. He Please see DRAFT | 11A

but the Warriors shifted the matchup under new coach Steve Kerr this season. The Warriors went 2-1 against Memphis, winning once at home and once on the road. Their only loss in the season series came in Memphis without center and defensive stopper Bogut, who is as healthy as he’s been in years. Conley sat out Golden State’s 111-107 win over the Grizzlies on April 13 with a sprained right foot. The Warriors led by 32 points in the third quarter of that game before Kerr rested his starters prolonged minutes. “Whether it’s a flashy up-tempo game or whether it’s an 87-83 game, we feel like we have enough pieces and versatility to win all sorts of ways now,” Warriors point guard and MVP candidate Stephen Curry said. “Our defense is going to show up. That’s what we’re going to bank on for the whole series.” Here are some other things to look out for going into the series: Replacing Conley If Conley can’t play, the Grizzlies’ reserves will be under a lot of pressure to perform. Memphis handled Conley’s absence the past two games by starting Nick Calathes and bringing Beno Udrih off the bench. They’ll need to play better than they have all season against a Warriors team that starts Curry at point guard and has one of the league’s deepest benches. Physical Frontcourts The series features two of the most physical frontcourts in the league.

Golden State’s Andrew Bogut and Draymond Green ranked in the top five in defensive efficiency this season to pace the league’s top-rated defense. Gasol won defensive player of the year in 2013 and power forward Zach Randolph is as crafty as they come inside. The matchup down low will loom large. Splash Brothers The league’s highestscoring offense flows through sweet-shooting Curry and Klay Thompson. Curry surpassed his NBA record for most 3-pointers in a season, finishing with 286 from beyond the arc, where he shot 41.7 percent in the opening round. Thompson ranked second in the league with 239 3-pointers and shot 48.5 percent from long range in the first round. Grizzlies guard Tony Allen is one of the league’s best perimeter defenders, but it’ll have to be a team effort to slow down Golden State’s dynamic duo. The Lee Factor Grizzlies guard Courtney Lee struggled with a right hand injury through the end of the regular season, scoring in single digits in nine of the final 14 games. But he looked healthy in the opening round, shooting 66 percent (31 of 47) from the floor and 54.5 percent (6 of 11) from 3-point range. Speaking of Gasol The man nicknamed “Big Spain” is coming off possibly his best playoff series. He tied his playoff high with 26 points to finish off Portland, and he has at least 15 or more points, seven or more rebounds and a block in each of his first five games this postseason.

DRAFT man by Detroit in the sixth round. One spot earlier, the first kicker was chosen, punter Bradley Pinion of Clemson going to San Francisco. He will try to unseat veteran Andy Lee. “Andy’s been in the league a long time and he’s a great punter,” Pinion said. “There’s a reason he’s been in the league 10 years. They said it’s an open competition and let the best person win.” UAB, which has disbanded its football program, had two players selected: WR J.J. Nelson to Arizona in the fifth round, TE Kennard Backman to Green Bay in Round 6. Florida State All-America TE Nick O’Leary, the grandson of Jack Nicklaus, wound up with Buffalo in the sixth, and, fittingly on Saturday, A.J. Derby, tight end from Arkansas, went to New England. The final pick of the shortest seven-round

draft at 13 hours, 45 minutes, is dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant.” The, uh, honor went to Louisville tight end Gerald Christian, who was selected by Arizona. In all, 24 trades were made, including two transactions involving the last tradable pick, No. 249. That wound up with Atlanta, which grabbed San Jose State safety Akeem King before the compensatory picks began. ACC schools Florida State (11) and Louisville (10) led the way in total picks. Florida was next with eight. The three big Florida schools had 26 players chosen, with Miami adding in seven. But the SEC had the most players taken with 54, followed by the ACC with 47. Among the major schools with no selections were North Carolina, North Carolina State, Syracuse, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Colorado, Arizona and California.

then made up an elaborate story about saving his nephew from drowning in a swimming pool. “I know that I’m selected in the fourth round primarily because of that incident and me lying,” he said. “The most important thing I learned is to not even put myself in that position and always be truthful.” The first player drafted from Navy in 20 years, long snapper Joe Cardona, went 186th to New England. He was the only player at that position at the combine in February. “Right now I’m prepared to be the best football player I can be for the New England Patriots, and the best naval officer I can be,” Cardona said. “Whatever duty I’m doing at the time I’m doing it, I’m just prepared to do my best. “ The last Middie selected was tight end Kevin Hick-

Bowler makes Plaza Lanes history BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

April Lumpkin bowls like a girl. The fourth generation bowler is fine with that just as long as she continues to knock down pins and beat the guys. Lumpkin added her name to Plaza Lanes Bowling lore by becoming the first female bowler to ever put together a 700 series. “She had no idea she was bowling a 700 series,” said Lumpkin’s husband and avid bowler, Justin. “I was just trying for another 600 series,” added April, who has bowled at least 600 three other times. April collected nine

“She had no idea she was bowling a 700 series.” Justin Lumpkin April Lumpkin’s husband and avid bowler consecutive strikes in her final game to finish with 727 which eclipsed her previous high series of 666. Over three games, the 25-year-old knocked down 23 strikes, nine spares and one open in putting up scores of 214, 244 and 269 while bowling in the Rebel Volunteer League with Sweeter Than Yoo Hoo. Her high game of 269 was the highest in the house – male or female – on April 16.

“She was shocked because she didn’t know what was going on,” said Justin, who is also part of the Sweeter Than Yoo Hoo team along with Jamie Fowler, Dave Olive and Tyler Corbin. “The first 700 always slips up on you,” added Plaza Lanes owner David Curry. According to Curry, Betty Brooks held the scoring record after rolling a 688 during the Friday Night Mixed Couples League in 1987.

April has her sights set on the next prize when it comes to bowling. She hopes to join her husband, who has rolled two 300 games and three 800 series, as part of the perfect game club. “I am shooting for 300,” she said. “I have already told Justin I was going to do it.” “She is really competitive,” added her husband with a smile. April has four more weeks to reach bowling perfection at Plaza Lanes before the winter season ends. If she can put up a 300 game over that period, it would be Sweeter Than Yoo Hoo and make bowling like a girl the thing to do.

Author looks back at Beanie Baby hysteria from 1990s BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“The Great Beanie Baby Bubble” by Zac Bissonnette c.2015, Penguin Portfolio $26.95 / $31.00 Canada 260 pages Your broker thinks your portfolio needs more diversification. Take a little out of metals, he says, put it into tech. Move money from here, put it there. Sell manufacturing, buy oil. You hope that’s sound advice but you’ve noticed that he never uttered a word about stuffed animals. That’s a good thing, as you’ll see in “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble” by Zac Bissonnette. At the end of 1998, the “richest man in the American toy industry” threw a party for his employees, at which he handed out

lavish bonuses and palmsized bears stuffed with synthetic beans. The man, Ty Warner, was the billionaire creator of Beanie Babies. The bears, in coming weeks, were worth more than $5,000 each. How did it happen that people lost their minds – and their childrens’ college funds – over stuffed animals? Zac Bissonnette tried to find out, but discovered that Warner grants few face-to-faces. Still, plenty of people were happy to fill in the blanks… Warner got his start in toys when his father got him a job at Dakin, a premiere “plush” company; there, charm and a flirtatious manner quickly made Warner Dakin’s top salesman. When he was caught promoting his own line of plush on Dakin’s time, he lost his

From a what-were-we-thinking vantage point years removed from the loss of serious money in pursuit of toys, that’s amusing - but this well-researched and well-told story also serves as a cautionary tale: it’s happened before - as Bissonnette indicates, it’s perhaps no coincidence that Beanie Babies and the dot-com bubble burst at the same time - and it could happen again.

job but by then, he’d become obsessed with the animals he’d created. He constantly refined them, trying to understand how to make them a sensation. That was only a matter of time. Says Bissonnette, “Warner understood things about toy sales that others didn’t,” pricing his Beanie Babies simply and at low-cost. That they became a fad with a handful

of women in Chicago was a bonus. Those women were fierce about Beanie Babies, and they called stores around the country, looking for hard-tofind animals and spreading the mania. Salesmen began referring to no-longer-stocked animals as “retired,” raising the perception of rarity. People realized they could “flip [stuffed animals] for two to five times” the original price. Word spread as “everyone

who did it told everyone they knew about it.” Warner became a billionaire. But as “people abandoned their senses” and the market became saturated by millions of plush on store shelves in the U.S. , Canada , and England , the bubble burst. And, says author Zac Bissonnette, that’s still not the end of the story… As someone who never bought one such toy, I found “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble” to be a fascinating study of the

proverbial madness of crowds. From a what-were-wethinking vantage point years removed from the loss of serious money in pursuit of toys, that’s amusing - but this wellresearched and well-told story also serves as a cautionary tale: it’s happened before - as Bissonnette indicates, it’s perhaps no coincidence that Beanie Babies and the dot-com bubble burst at the same time - and it could happen again.

Hattiesburg teen helps nursing home residents by spending time with them BY ELLEN CIURCZAK The Hattiesburg American

HATTIESBURG — Sixteen-year-old Zoe Fokakis is not your average teenager. The Presbyterian Christian School junior has plenty of friends her own age and she participates in lots of school activities, but her favorite thing to do just might be playing the piano for elderly nursing home residents. “When I was in seventh grade, I decided I wanted to be a geriatrician,” Fokakis said. “I’ve always had a heart for the elderly. I’ve always wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. “My grandfather has a debilitating disease similar to Parkinson’s, and I don’t want anyone to go through that. I want to be able to help.” Fokakis had been playing piano off and on at

nursing homes during her junior high years, but she felt called to do something more when she was in ninth grade. “A voice in my head said, ‘Why not do something now?’ she said. “I started praying about it, but I couldn’t even drive yet.” Fokakis said she felt the need to make a big difference in elderly people’s lives and decided to raise money and start a nonprofit. She came up with a name for her organization — Eleos: Messengers of Mercy. “My dad’s side of the family is Greek and I wanted to tie something that I am into it,” she said. “I came across ‘Eleos,’ which is an ancient Greek word which means ‘compassion’ and ‘keeping our covenant with God.’ Fokakis and her moth-

“My dad’s side of the family is Greek and I wanted to tie something that I am into it. I came across ‘Eleos,’ which is an ancient Greek word which means ‘compassion’ and ‘keeping our covenant with God.’” Zoe Fokakis er put in the long hours of detail-oriented work needed to get Eleos nonprofit status with the state, which was achieved in November 2013. Then in May 2014, they took on another gigantic project — planning a 5K run to raise money for Eleos. Fokakis’ mother Lisa said they got a lot of help. “The 5K was definitely a big deal,” she said. “Not only are we not runners, we had never even been

to one as an observer. A lady from our church sent Zoe a step-by-step list of what to do.” Pastor Dwayne Higgason, with Grace Temple, where Fokakis goes to church, also lent a hand. He was impressed by how Fokakis ran things. “She was very organized and on top of things,” he said. “All of us who were helping her knew our jobs, and what she expected of us. The 5K raised $3,000.

Since then, Fokakis has been keeping the coffers filled with donations she gets from collection boxes she has set up at merchants in Forrest and Lamar counties. The box includes a detailed post card explaining what Eleos is. “We collect the money and then we use that to make the lives of nursing home residents a better experience,” Fokakis said. She gets a list each month of residents’ birthdays from the activities director at Hattiesburg Health and Rehab. “We’ll deliver gifts to their room,” Fokakis said. “ My personal favorite is an extra large print King James Bible we got for one man.” Lisa Richardson, activities director at the rehab, appreciates the things Fokakis does for the resi-

dents. “She does a lot of good deeds around here,” Richardson said. “She’s really compassionate. She took over the Birthday Club. I send her an email and she gets what (they) need and she passes (the gifts) out.” Richardson said before Fokakis, the residents didn’t get presents for their birthday. “Now they’re expecting something for their birthday,” she said. “They’re totally excited when their birthday comes around.” Neighbor Robert Touchstone is a big fan of Fokakis. He’s also a contributor to Eleos. “I thought it was unique for a girl her age — many times they’re not interested in older people,” he said. “I felt it was extraordinary. It’s a labor of love.”

Horn Island gets ready for 30 year showcase with various styles of art included BY TAMMY SMITH The Sun Herald

HORN ISLAND — Horn Island, just off the coast of Jackson County, is a long, thin island between the Mississippi Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. It’s one of the barrier islands that has given protection to the coastline for centuries. It’s deserted except for the flora and fauna that naturally thrive on its sandy shores. The island was a favorite refuge of artist Walter Anderson, a place where the encroachment of civilization could be shaken off and replaced with immersion in absolute na-

ture, a man amid the elements. For 30 years, students, faculty and alumni of the Memphis College of Art have traveled to Horn Island each spring to experience what many consider Anderson’s retreat and main source of inspiration. This year, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art is recognizing those three decades through an exhibit, “A Halcyon Place: Horn Island 30,” which showcases works connected to the 2014 trip as well as older pieces. Each work “was created by participants in direct response to the 10-day

“I really love this show. Not only are they wonderful works, they are a wide range of media: sculpture, oils, watercolor, photography, drawings, metalwork.” Doug Myatt WAMA curator trip to the island. It is a reminder of and tribute to its source, original impetus and namesake of this museum, Walter Anderson,” Remy Miller, dean and vice president for Academic Affairs and professor of fine arts, wrote for the exhibit.

Works are completed either on the island during that 10-day odyssey or within a certain time afterwards, said Doug Myatt, WAMA curator. Their time on the island is primitive; fresh water, food, shelter all must be brought along, and in-

sects, heat and exposure to the elements are part of the experience. The exhibit will be up through May, which includes the time the 2015 participants will arrive for their trip to the island. “I really love this show,” Myatt said. “Not only are they wonderful works, they are a wide range of media: sculpture, oils, watercolor, photography, drawings, metalwork.” Works include pieces by Bob Riseling, founder and director of the Horn Island experience for more than 20 years; assistant professor of foundation studies and design arts Don DuMont, who is

the director of the Horn Island program; and Coast artist Bill Nelson, who assisted Riseling in starting the program and is longtime participant in the trips. There also are works by Walter Anderson and Mac Anderson, his brother. Exhibit works are as diverse as their creators’ personal experiences and impressions, from whimsical to disturbing, peaceful to riotous, but each presenting its own interpretation of the island’s wild beauty. “I really would love to see this become an annual thing,” Myatt said.

Kossuth students plant trees on Earth Day Local Modern Woodmen of America members gave a lasting gift to the community on April 22 as members of the Kossuth Middle School Modern Woodmen Youth Service Club gathered at the school to plant two trees. The project was part of the Plant A Tree Program, a nationwide program introduced by Modern Woodmen for its members in 2004. Through the program and the help of its members, Modern Woodmen has planted thousands of trees across the United States. “This project allows local Modern Woodmen members to give a gift to the community,” says Jonathan Marsh, local Modern Woodmen contact. “Planting trees is an important way to create a secure future for families, communities and

the environment.” Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, chapters provide opportunities to take part in social activities and community service proj-

ects to meet local needs. Youth service clubs provide young Modern Woodmen members with opportunities to volunteer, be patriotic, learn new skills, make friends

and have fun. (For more information or to get involved, contact Jonathan Marsh at 662-665-7904 or jonathan.marsh@mwarep. org.)
