Alcorn school board member dies BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn Central has lost one of its biggest supporters. Peggy Bain, a member of the Alcorn School District Board of Education, died on Wednesday. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Alcorn Central High School with burial following at Lovejoy Cemetery. Other arrangements are pending with McPeters Funeral Directors. Bain had a successful heart procedure on Tuesday but died

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much an icon for Alcorn Central. She was an excellent advocate for all of the kids and schools.â&#x20AC;? Stacy Suggs Alcorn Schools superintendent suddenly Wednesday morning. She had served on the county school board for a year, taking office last January for the second district seat. Alcorn Central High School

Principal Tim Littlejohn recalled that when he came to the school in the 1970s, the Bain family was already well-known for its involvement on the campus.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost a great lady today,â&#x20AC;? said Littlejohn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a leader and a mentor. I can honestly say that nobody cared about Alcorn Central like she did. She was at every ball game you could be at, and she was an outstanding board member as well.

Emily Nooner and her family continue a family tradition by selling fireworks around the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday at their stand on U.S. 72 just east of Corinth. Shooting fireworks is a huge Crossroads area tradition around the end of the year, including the evenings of New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve on Saturday and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on Sunday. The legal New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day holiday this year is Monday, Jan. 2.

Officials stress fireworks safety BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

With a mild New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve in the forecast, many firecrackers, bottle rockets and sparklers are likely to be ignited this

weekend. Public safety officials encourage people to keep it safe by having proper supervision for children and following common sense safety practices.

Fireworks are prohibited in the Corinth city limits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conditions are pretty damp, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be as danPlease see FIREWORKS | 2A

Northeast Mississippi Community College will start the new year with a new emphasis on health as the school implements a complete ban on the use of tobacco products on its property. The ban, which will apply to all college property and locations including the Booneville main campus and the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extension centers at Corinth and New Albany, will prohibit the use of tobacco in any form at any time. College President Dr. Johnny Allen said the decision to restrict the use of tobacco comes out of a concern for public health and is part of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall efforts to create a healthy and safe environment for all who visit their facilities. He noted smoking has been prohibited inside campus buildings for several years and this move simply extends that restriction to the entire campus. The president said they want to encourage better health in all aspects of life and this move is another way for them to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is the right thing to do to encourage people to live healthy lives,â&#x20AC;? he said. Allen said they want to em-

phasize that the ban is in no way meant to make those who use tobacco products feel unwelcome, and they want to continue to maintain a campus that is open to all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizens who use tobacco products are welcome on our campuses, we just ask that they not use it while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said they hope that all those who come to the campus will respect the new rule and he expects to have few problems. He said that the school will not be heavy-handed about the policy but will continue to treat everyone who comes on campus with respect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to handle it in a very professional and respectful way,â&#x20AC;? he said. The decision to ban tobacco at the college was made last year and the college has conducted an extensive campaign to communicate the change to its staff, employees, students and the community. Signs have been posted throughout the campus since that time announcing the move. The school has also taken steps to help those who wish to quit using tobacco. Resources have been made available through the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counseling center.

CT-A to search for artistic director Company to close Stephenson at least 100 stores resigns due to health reasons BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth Theatre-Arts will soon begin the search for a new artistic director. Former Artistic Director Tyson Stephenson was recently forced to resign from the position and return to Oregon due to ongoing health issues, confirmed Linda Dixon, president of CT-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors. Dixon, a longtime participant in the local theatre company, filled in as artistic director for the CT-A production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carol: Scrooge & Marley.â&#x20AC;? Other CT-A regulars will act as substitute artistic directors in upcoming performances until

someone is found to permanently fill the position. The community theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board will actively begin the search for a new artistic director after the first of the year.

Upcoming Auditions In other CT-A news, the search is on for young actors to take the stage in two upcoming productions. Auditions for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fisherman and His Wifeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Clothesâ&#x20AC;? will be held Monday, Jan. 2, and Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012, beginning at 4 p.m. at the Crossroads Playhouse. Tryouts for both productions will be held on both dates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for youth of all ages through 19,â&#x20AC;? said CT-A Managing Director Tommy Ledbetter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No preparation or experience is required â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do is show up for the audition and read a page of the script.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fisherman and His Wifeâ&#x20AC;? is based on one of the Broth-

ers Grimmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous fairy tales, the story of a good man content with very little and the destruction caused by his dissatisfied wife after an encounter with a magical fish with the power to grant wishes. The cast will require approximately 12 actors. Sponsored by Northside Mini Storage and LINK, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fisherman and His Wife will be performed on Friday, Feb. 24, at 7:30 p.m. It is also a traveling production, and will be taken to several schools in Alcorn County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Clothesâ&#x20AC;? is a classic, comic tale of blindness and arrogance. Sponsored by Physicians Urgent Care, it will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 17 and 18, and 2 p.m. on Feb. 19. The play calls for eight male and four female cast members. Following the cast selection process, rehearsal will begin in mid-January and require about four evenings each week.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a disastrous holiday shopping season, the parent company of Sears and Kmart will close at least 100 stores to raise cash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move that sparked speculation about whether the 125-year-old retailer can avoid a death spiral fed by declining sales and deteriorating stores. Sears Holdings Corp., a pillar of American retailing that famously began with a mailorder catalog in the 1880s, declared Tuesday that it would no longer prop up â&#x20AC;&#x153;marginally performingâ&#x20AC;? locations. The company pledged to refocus its efforts on stores that make money.

UNA partners with National Park Service Special to the Daily Corinthian

FLORENCE, Ala. — The University of North Alabama Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation and the Natchez Trace Parkway with the National Park Service are partnering to offer a full week of Wildland Firefighter Training courses to students, professionals, and community members March 26-30 in Flowers Hall. Dr. Tom Coates, chair of the Department of HPER,

said the certified courses will be offered during spring break from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The courses offered will include Basic Wildland Fire Orientation, Wildland Firefighter Training, Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior, Human Factors on the Fireline, ICS Orientation, and Lookouts, Communication, Escape Routes and Safety Zones (LCES). “The advantage for our students is they would already have this training when

they begin their job search,” Coates said. “Very few students that graduate from college already have this kind of training on their resume. This opportunity will also be a community service because we will be inviting local, volunteer firefighters to take the courses as well.” Coates said the courses are certified through the federal government and give anyone the basic training they would need to respond to wildland fires. The courses also fulfill

the basic class work a person would need to become a federal or state wildland firefighter. Officials will also offer the Pack Test during the afternoon of March 30 for individuals who are interested in fulfilling the physical requirement to conduct the job of a wildland firefighter. The free test includes a three-mile walk with a 45-pound pack/vest that must be completed in 45 minutes or less.

ate was active in booster club and PTC activities through the years. Bain was retired after selling real estate for many years. She had also worked as a teacher’s aide

at Biggersville. Superintendent Stacy Suggs said he enjoyed working with Bain. “She’s pretty much an icon for Alcorn Central,” he said. “She was an excellent advocate for all of the kids and schools.”

In October 2010, Bain told the Daily Corinthian that she decided to run for the school board post after being encouraged by a number of people when it appeared that no one was going to qualify to run for the seat. She

ran unopposed for the post. Five years remain on her term of office. An appointment will likely be made to the board and a special election held on the November general election ballot.

DIRECTOR: Current season will conclude with two more productions CONTINUED FROM 1

2012 Productions Corinth Theatre-Arts will conclude its current season of theatrical offerings with two more productions. “On Shiloh Hill: A Musical Resurrection of the American Civil War” will be staged in April. The play is a guided trip

through America’s darkest days. Guided by a troubadour, “On Shiloh Hill” takes place in an attic, with period music establishing the mood and all of the words taken from letters, memoirs, diaries and other sources that reveal the War Between the States as seen by the men who fought it.

Auditions are set for Feb. 27-28, and “On Shiloh Hill” will be performed April 13-15. Set in small-town Louisiana, “Steel Magnolias “ is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together in Truvy’s Beauty Parlor. With comedic and tragic elements intertwined,

“Steel Magnolias” features sharp dialogue and serious themes. Auditions for “Steel Magnolias” are set for April 23-24, and the performances are scheduled for June 1-3. For more information contact CT-A at 287-2995 or visit corinththeatrearts. com

has not been resolved. The Sears store in Corinth is a locallyowned independent dealer and won’t be affected by Sears Holdings closures. The national closings are the latest and most visible move by Eddie Lampert, the handson chairman who has struggled to reverse the company’s fortunes. As rivals Wal-Mart and Target Corp. spruced up stores in recent years, Sears Holdings struggled with falling sales and perceptions of dowdy merchandise. Some analysts wondered if it was already too late, questioning whether the retailer can afford to upgrade stores as it burns through its cash reserves. The sales weakness “begins and some would argue ends with Sears’ reluctance to invest in stores and service,” Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter wrote in a note to clients. Sears and Kmart were both retail pioneers. Sears’ catalog and department stores were fixtures of American life stretching back to the 19th century before being hurt in recent years by competition from steep discounters and by missteps that included forays into financial services and the decision to sell off a lucrative credit card business. Kmart helped create the discount-store format that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. came to dominate. Sears Holdings has watched its cash and short-term investments plummet by nearly half since Jan. 31, from about $1.3 billion to about $700 million. The projected closings represent only about 3 percent of Sears Holdings’ U.S. stores. And the company has actually added stores since the Sears-Kmart merger in 2005. It has about 3,560 stores in the U.S., up from 3,500 right after the merger, thanks to the addition of more small stores. But the company hinted that more closings could be on the horizon as it focuses on honing the better-performing stores. The store closings were expected to generate $140 million to $170 million in cash as the company sells down their inventory. Selling or subleasing the prop-

erties could generate more money. Spokesman Chris Brathwaite said the company had not determined which stores would close or how many jobs might be cut. He disputed speculation that the company will have problems surviving, noting it still has $2.9 billion available under its credit lines. “While our operating performance has not met our expectations, we have significant assets,” including inventory, real estate and proprietary brands like Kenmore and Craftsman, Brathwaite said. Still, the company’s announcements were grim. In addition to the closings, it announced that revenue at stores open at least a year fell 5.2 percent for the eight weeks ended Dec. 25, a crucial time because of the holiday shopping season. Kmart’s layaway program, meant to help cash-strapped customers buy presents by paying for them a little at a time, faltered as WalMart and Toy R Us introduced or expanded competing programs. Sears stores reported softer sales of home appliances, usually a strength. The company predicted that fourth-quarter adjusted earnings will be less than half the $933 million reported for the same quarter last year. It also expects a non-cash charge of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion in the quarter to write off the value of carriedover tax deductions it now doesn’t expect to be profitable enough to use. Part of Sears Holdings’ problem is the weak economy that is hurting virtually all retailers that cater to lowand middle-income shoppers, who are being forced to cut back on spending. But both Lampert and Lou D’Ambrosio, who was named CEO in February, have said the company needs to keep up with the changing retail landscape, where shoppers are going online for convenience and finding better prices on their smartphones even once they’re in the store. Andrew Jassin, at clothing consultant Jassin Consulting Group, said his clients that sell to Sears aren’t limiting orders, but they’re watching to see what steps the company will take next.

lands on a house and you see a spark, it’s best to call 911 to get the fire department to check it out.” It’s best to use open fields, he said, and avoid shooting fireworks in subdivisions with houses close together. “For children, it’s best to use sparklers and roman candles, those types of things,” he said. “You should use a tube for bot-

tle rockets and not hold them. Light the fuse and get back.” Most injuries from sparklers involve children under the age of 14, according to the National Council on Fireworks Safety. Some other recommendations from the American Pyrotechnics Association: ■ Don’t mix alcohol and

fireworks. If people are drinking, have a sober person handle the fireworks. ■ Have some water available in a bucket or a garden hose in case something needs to be extinguished. ■ Do not reignite fireworks that malfunction. Douse them in water before disposing. ■ Read and follow the

including cherry bombs, tubular salutes, repeating bombs, aerial bombs and torpedoes. The sale of fireworks is allowed from June 15 through July 5 and from Dec. 5 through Jan. 2. “Fireworks are pretty to see as long as you follow all of the precautions set forth by the manufacturers and the law,” said Gibens.

Summer of 1862 brought high temps Source: Alcorn County Family History, Volume I Federals Occupy Corinth (Part 2) Summer came in with a vengeance in 1862. Temperatures soared, shallow wells and small streams went dry, dust thickened, flies, mosquitoes, fleas and lice tormented men and animals. A convalescent hospital was established there and every effort was made to improve men’s diet. Another hospital was set up at Farmington with “Mother” Mary Ann Bickerdyke in charge. “Mother” believed in soap, soup, fresh fruit and fresh air. A brigade was sent to Rienzi and Cavalry units to Jacinto, Blackland and Booneville. Needless to say, there was a significant drop in the sick list. During the next three months the soldiers began plying their peacetime trades, ferriers, gunsmiths, photographers, carpenters and some shopkeepers set up businesses and at least two newspapers were published. “The Corinth War Eagle,” a weekly, edited and published by E.D. Fenn began July 31st and lasted until December. Major General Henry W. Halleck’s last order from Corinth was printed in the first issue. (President Abraham Lincoln had appointed Halleck as general-in-chief of the United States land forces.) A second paper, “The Corinth Chanticleer” was edited and published by C.W. Hildreth of the 2nd Iowa Infantry. General Grant was named to succeed Halleck. For the first time General Rosecrans was

Vicki Roach Family Branches

brought into contact with General G r a n t . Civil and military matters occupied their time during the remainder of the

summer. When dealing with the remaining citizens, Rosecrans was very effective. He had Union sympathizers take an oath of allegiance to the United States; citizens of Confederate persuasion he requested to pledge themselves to abstain from mischief or to leave the country. Grant, meanwhile, was supervising the new line of defense begun by General Halleck. These were Batteries A through F extending from the southwest below the Memphis & Charleston westward and then north to the Memphis & Charleston. It is supposed these batteries were to be connected by breastworks later. General Rosecrans thought these defenses were too extended and that a line of batteries along the ridge which extended from east of Corona College and then northward toward the Mobile & Ohio Railroad would be more easily defended. General Grant looked over the terrain and ordered Colonel F.E. Prime to construct five open batteries; Robinett, Williams, Phillips, Tannrath and Lothropon these low hills. During the last week of July, CSA General Bragg began transferring most of his forces from Tupelo to Chattanooga. Earlier he had sent Van Dorn’s and

Breckinridge’s troops to Vicksburg. General Price was left in Tupelo with instructions to watch Grant in Corinth. Price’s army consisted of two divisions. The Missouri division was under Henry Little. Dabney Maury commanded the division composed of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas regiments. Under these two able commanders the two divisions had become efficient, well drilled and thoroughly disciplined soldiers-they had always been fierce fighters. In addition, Frank C. Armstrong commanded a cavalry brigade of 1500 troops. The total force numbered a little more than 15,000 and these men had with them some forty pieces of artillery. Conflicting reports and rumors bedeviled both Union and Confederate armies in early September. CSA Bragg was in Tennessee planning to move into Kentucky. Buell moved his Federal troops from north Alabama to Murfreesboro near Nashville. Bragg believed Rosecrans would reinforce Buell; so, he wrote Price to prevent the junction of the two Union forces. Accordingly Price moved from Baldwyn to Iuka where he routed the small Federal garrison left to guard that place, But, when he learned Rosecrans was still in north Mississippi, he felt it imprudent to cross the Tennessee River and waited in Iuka. On the 18th Price received two dispatches. One from Armstrong reporting Federal forces were advancing upon him and the second from Van Dorn requesting that he move back to Baldwyn in order to form a junc-

tion with his army. Price replied that he would move to Baldwyn immediately and ordered his troops to prepare at once for the move. The following day, September 19th, the battle of Iuka occurred. Henry Little was killed and was replaced by General Louis Herbert. That night Price retreated down the Fulton Road to Baldwyn. After several days rest, he marched northwest to Ripley where on September 28th he finally linked with Van Dorn. In conference with Van Dorn and General Mansfield Lovell, Price advised against attacking Corinth until the Confederates were reinforced by 15,000 exchanged prisoners then in Jackson, Mississippi. Because of the recent battle at Iuka, Price realized how rapidly the Federals could concentrate their forces. Van Dorn argued that the Federals would have time to strengthen the defenses at Corinth and to bring in reinforcements if they delayed until the exchanged prisoners could be brought up and armed. Price agreed “that the importance of Corinth was so great it warranted more than the usual hazards of battle.” He presented the facts as he knew them and offered his considered advice.

SELMER, Tenn. – For the first time in three years, McNairy County has recorded two consecutive months of an unemployment rate under 10 percent. The county had registered almost three straight years of doubledigit unemployment last month. Tennessee’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development figures said McNairy County had an unemployment rate of 9.6 percent in November, a drop of 0.3 percent from the October total of 9.9 percent. The county had a labor force of 10,840 in November and 9,810 of those had jobs during the month. This left 1,040 potential workers without jobs in November. Tennessee’s unemployment rate for November fell to 9.1 percent, down from the October rate of 9.5. “This is the lowest unemployment rate Tennessee has experienced since January of 2009 at 9.0 percent,” Tennessee Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development Karla Davis said. “After seasonal adjustments were made, nearly 10,000 jobs were created since

October with positive job growth in the service sector such as retail trade and temporary jobs.” Lincoln County had the lowest unemployment rate in the state at 5.6 percent. Scott County had the largest unemployment rate in the state at 15.2 percent. Obion County had the highest unemployment rate in West Tennessee at 15.2 percent, most likely the result of the shutdown of the Goodyear tire manufacturing facility in Union City. Tennessee had 79 counties show a decrease in unemployment during November while 12 counties had an increase and four counties remained the same as the previous month. McNairy County fared well when compared to their neighboring counties in Tennessee. Hardeman County had a jobless rate of 11.8 percent, Hardin County had a rate of 9.8 percent and Chester County registered the lowest rate of 8.7 percent. The state’s unemployment rate is seasonally adjusted to account for the hiring and layoff patterns that accompany regular events such as the winter holiday season and the summer vacation season.

Federal court must address redistricting A three-judge federal panel did what the 2011 Legislature could not, and produced a congressional district map. As The Associated Press reported, “Notwithstanding the movement or potential movement of 146,000 persons, we made as few changes to the current districts as possible,” the three federal judges wrote in releasing the plan Monday. The foremost feature of the new map is that the lone Mississippi congressional Democrat, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, prevailed in not having Adams County added to his predominately black voting age district. As long as his 2nd District stays essentially intact, he’s likely to stay in office as long as he likes. There were no radical changes, which raises the question: Should there be? Lumping black voters into the 2nd District virtually assures a black, Democrat district, but it also concentrates white voters and Republicans elsewhere. Another question: Why is it that the Legislature, charged with the redistricting task, is unable to do its job? Given the small amount of fiddling involved, if lawmakers wanted to play it safe, it should have been an easy task. And it was — by the courts. But it should be remembered, that a federal court did the job the last time 10 years ago, too, because partisan battles ended in stalemate. So, we have a decade-old federal court-ordered map being amended by a federal court for Mississippi elections for another 10 years, and not popularly elected leaders doing the job they were elected to do. And we must ask: How representative are these districts? The 2nd District may intentionally be favorable to a Democrat, but the 3rd District, represented by Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Pearl, was drawn to favor a white Republican. Is that representative? Or just facts of life? Partisan, political life. We have another 10 years to ponder such issues, now. — The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson

Miss. state economy ... we’re not there yet Over the last couple of years, the Mississippi economy first dipped and then flattened out. Everyone’s eager for business in the state to begin growing again, but statistics released this week say we’re not there yet. The two statistics are vastly different ones, but they provide fairly good signals about the state of the economy. One is the unemployment rate; the other is the amount of money taken in by casinos. Unemployment actually declined in November, to 10.5 percent, but unfortunately that’s because about 2,000 people withdrew from the labor force — not because there were new jobs available. This reduction in the labor force reverses a trend in which more people have been actively looking for work in the state. The number of available workers is 4 percent higher than when the recession began. There simply are not enough jobs for everyone. There was one bright spot: A separate survey indicated there are 10,500 more jobs in the state than there were a year ago. However, business payrolls are about 55,000 jobs below their peak before the recession began in 2008. As for the casinos, they had a bad November compared to a year ago, taking eight percent less from gamblers than they did in 2010. Obviously part of the problem is that fewer people have extra money to spend on entertainment. Another part could be increased competition. ... State budget writers had forecast a 2 percent increase in gambling revenue for the current fiscal year. So far, that has not happened. Things may change. There are, while still mixed, some hopeful signs in the national economy. Employers are adding jobs again, the holiday shopping numbers are coming in higher than predicted, gas is cheaper, and consumer confidence is on the rise. ... — Greenwood Commonwealth

Prayer for today Lord, may we not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. Amen.

Random thoughts on the passing scene Talk show host Dennis Miller said, “I don’t dig polo. It’s like miniature golf meets the Kentucky Derby.” Nothing illustrates the superficiality of our times better than the enthusiasm for electric cars, because they are supposed to greatly reduce air pollution. But the electricity that ultimately powers these cars has to be generated somewhere — and nearly half the electricity generated in this country is generated by burning coal. The 2012 Republican primaries may be a rerun of the 2008 primaries, where the various conservative candidates split the conservative vote so many ways that the candidate of the mushy middle got the nomination — and then lost the election. Because morality does not always prevail, by any means, too many of the intelligentsia act as if it has no effect. But, even in Nazi Germany, thousands of Germans hid Jews during the war, at the risk of their own lives, because it was the right thing to do. In recent times, Christmas has brought not only holiday cheer but also attacks on the very word “Christmas,” chasing it from the vocabulary of institutions and even from most “holi-

day cards.” Like many other social crusades, this one is based on a lie — namely that the ConThomas stitution puts Sowell a wall of sepColumnist aration between church and state. It also shows how easily intimidated we are by strident zealots. If you don’t like growing older, don’t worry about it. You may not be growing older much longer. What do you call it when someone steals someone else’s money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else’s money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else’s money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice. When an organization has more of its decisions made by committees, that gives more influence to those who have more time available to attend committee meetings and to drag out each meeting longer. In other words, it reduces the influence of those who have work to do, and are doing it,

while making those who are less productive more influential. Anyone who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left, more so than others, denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them — instead of answering their arguments. The wisest and most knowledgeable human being on the planet is utterly incompetent to make even 10 percent of the consequential decisions that have to be made in a modern nation. Yet all sorts of people want to decide how much money other people can make or keep, and to micromanage how other people live their lives. The real egalitarians are not the people who want to redistribute wealth to the poor, but those who want to extend to the poor the ability to create their own wealth, to lift themselves up, instead of trying to tear others down. Earning respect, including selfrespect, is better than being a parasite. Of all the arguments for giving amnesty to illegal immigrants, the most foolish is the argument that we can’t find and expel all of them. There is not a law on

the books that someone has not violated, including laws against murder, and we certainly have not found and prosecuted all the violators — whether murderers or traffic law violators. But do we then legalize all the illegalities we haven’t been able to detect and prosecute? In the 1920s, Congressman Thomas S. Adams referred to “the ease with which the income tax may be legally avoided” but also said some congressmen “so fervently believe that the rich ought to pay 40 or 50 per cent of their incomes” in taxes that they would rather make this a law, even if the government would get more revenue from a lower tax rate that people actually pay. Some also prefer class warfare politics that brings in votes, if not revenue. Can you imagine a man who had never run any kind of organization, large or small, taking it upon himself to fundamentally change all kinds of organizations in a huge and complex economy? Yet that is what Barack Obama did when he said, “We are going to change the United States of America!” This was not “The Audacity of Hope.” It was the audacity of hype.

Choosing a loser as a winner in Iowa The Iowa caucuses may be over by the time you read this. But it doesn’t matter. The caucuses are the second-most fraudulent event on the nation’s political calendar. The first, of course, is the Ames Straw Poll. It’s entirely meaningless, but political reporters pay attention to it because if they didn’t, their editors would make them cover a real story, like a meeting of the local water board. Quick! Who won the Ames Straw Poll in August? Did you forget already? I thought so. Michele Bachmann won it and was immediately anointed a serious contender for the presidency. That’s of the United States, mind you. By Thanksgiving, her candidacy had shrunk to Lilliputian proportions. Told you so. The Iowa caucuses are the oddest oddball of the political year. They have virtually no predictive value, but reporters and commentators act as though they do. Historically, they are as apt to choose a loser as a winner. Don’t believe me? Here are some of the people who have won the caucuses that preceded presidential elections past: Democrats Tom

Harkin and Dick Gephardt, and Republicans Mike Huckabee and Pat Robertson. Donald None of them Kaul ever got within spitting Other Words distance of their party’s nomination. Bob Dole won the Iowa caucuses once. It wasn’t the year he secured the GOP nomination. In 1988, Democrat Mike Dukakis and Republican George H. W. Bush both finished third in their respective party caucuses and went on to win their nominations. In 1980, Ronald Reagan finished second in Iowa and first in the hearts of his countrymen. The first President Bush won Iowa the year he lost the nomination to Reagan. He lost it in 1988, the year he defeated Dukakis. In 1976, Democrats put up a strong array of strong candidates. The contenders for their party’s nomination included Sen. Birch Bayh of Indiana, former Sen. Fred Harris of Oklahoma, Rep. Morris Udall of Arizona, Sen. Scoop Jackson of Washington state, and Sargent Shriver, who had been

George McGovern’s running mate four years earlier. Oh, and the relatively unknown former governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter. Carter finished ahead of them all in Iowa and was propelled to a successful run for the presidency, more’s the pity. In fairness to Iowa voters, it should be pointed out that Carter finished second to “uncommitted.” The rules for the caucuses — one set for Democrats, another for Republicans — are almost impossible to fully understand, though in my many years of covering them as a reporter and newspaper columnist I always found that drinking helped. The Democrats keep breaking apart into ever-smaller groups with more emphasis on making sure every group, gender, race, and sexual preference is represented than on whom the candidate should be. The Republicans, as I understand it, vote in their precincts on caucus night, pass the results on to the press, then forget about them. Months later, at the state convention where delegates to the national convention are actually chosen, everyone votes for whom-

ever they choose without reference to the caucuses. These things take place at hundreds of venues in the dead of an Iowa winter and can consume as much as two or three hours, with no absentee voting. Nor is there a secret ballot. It’s no more or less democratic than a Russian election, I suppose. Out of this mess comes an avalanche of stories. I’m guessing that many will have headlines such as this one: “Newt Gingrich has seized the reins of the campaign.” The best thing about the caucuses is that they are really fun. Iowa campaigns are retail politics at their most charming, and the people are great. I remember one caucus at which Orville Armstrong, a legendary if rough-hewn Polk County supervisor, became incensed at what the speaker in front of him was saying, so he punched him between the shoulder blades, sending him flying over a row of chairs. You don’t get action like that with a secret ballot. As far as being a crystal ball into the future, however, reporters would be better served by reading the entrails of frogs.

State Familiar budget shortfall faces new leaders BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers and Gov.elect Phil Bryant will face a difficult task in crafting a state budget for the fiscal year that starts on July 1. Bryant will propose a budget after taking office in January, but he has been vague about his plans. Lt. Gov.-elect Tate Reeves and likely House Speaker Philip Gunn also have made no specific proposals. One legislative proposal would retain funding levels for public elementary and secondary schools as well as community colleges, but imposes funding cuts for other agencies that outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour said are unrealistically deep. Lawmakers also will have to decide whether to renew a tax on hospital beds that funds Medicaid, and whether they want to change the state’s Public Employees Retirement System. The Legislature convenes on Tuesday. An overarching tone is likely to be whether Bryant and the Republican-controlled Legislature move toward more spending cuts, or raid state reserves to patch together a budget. Because the state is spending the last of its federal stimulus money this year, spending will likely shrink in the new budget year. The Joint Legislative Budget Committee has proposed a 2.3

percent decrease, while outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour proposed a 2.9 percent cut. The situation is more unpredictable because there will be a new governor, lieutenant governor, House speaker and budget committee leaders. Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock said the Republican governor-in-waiting regards work done to date on a new budget as only a “conversation starter.” Bryant will issue his own proposal after taking office. Bullock said top priorities will continue to be education, public safety, economic development and health care. The legislative plan already floated seeks to hold funding levels for K-12 schools and community colleges, but cuts university funding by 1.93 percent. Reeves and Gunn, R-Clinton, echoed Bryant’s preference to protect schools. “We’ve got to make sure we don’t compromise the quality of education we’ve got,” Gunn said. “I believe you will see bills that pass the Senate

that encourage more efficiency in our education spending and I expect an effort to improve funding for our schools,” Reeves said. Rep. Cecil Brown, DJackson, who sat on the panel that wrote the legislative proposal, said members chose to reduce funding for some agencies to spend on schools. For example, he said, a proposed 19.6 percent cut in the state Health Department’s budget is an unrealistic number used to make ends meet. Another area of concern is Medicaid. Brown said a 7 percent decrease in funding also is probably not achievable. Compounding worries about Medicaid, a tax on hospital beds that Barbour pushed through the Legislature in 2009 over the objection of the state’s hospitals expires at the end of the current budget year. Lawmakers will have to vote to renew that tax or find $60 million in additional cuts. “They intentionally underfunded expenditures that we all know have to

Primary Care Treatment of illness & chronic disease Wellness exams

be funded,” Reeves said. In his budget, Barbour took aim at proposals that lawmakers used to balance their plan. For example, he described the deletion of all unfilled state employee positions as “bad budgeting policy and simply unrealistic.” “The Legislature has no intention of deleting all unfilled positions in state government,” the outgoing governor wrote. Barbour instead proposed cutting 25 percent of vacant positions in the current budget year, and 25 percent more in 2013. It’s unclear whether Barbour will have much influence this year. His budget document rehashes proposals, such as school and university consolidation, that originally won little legislative support. Most agree that Mississippi will have to tap some existing savings and find more one-time money to prevent searing cuts. For several years, the state has used federal stimulus money approved by Congress when it was controlled by Democrats

to prop up the Mississippi budget. But the last $126 million will be gone after the current budget year. Barbour says the state’s reserve is likely to fall to about $240 million by the end of the current budget year, down from $800 million five years before. He wants the nest egg to be rebuilt, in accordance with a law that requires setting aside 2 percent of state revenue. The Legislature proposes to override the 2 percent reserve law, as it is legally allowed to do. Even Reeves, who said he wants to use “recurring revenues for recurring expenses,” said “the budget situation we are inheriting is such that it will take several years to reach this goal.” Lawmakers would rely on slight improvements in revenue, delays of some obligations and savings to spend about $367 million more than they otherwise could. For example, both Barbour’s proposal and the legislative plan would spend the $97.4 million remaining in a health care trust fund. Legislators

created the fund in 1999 to save the proceeds of Mississippi’s 1997 settlement of a lawsuit against tobacco companies, intending to spend only interest it generates. Barbour also is trying to renew a discussion of requiring schools, community colleges and universities to spend their own reserves to ease pressure on the state. Lawmakers searching for cuts also could freeze or reduce the cost-of-living adjustment for those drawing benefits from the Public Employees Retirement System. One idea floated has been to freeze the annual 3 percent adjustment for three years. Proponents say that could save about $40 million a year. Such a move would face opposition, said Rep. George Flaggs, DVicksburg. “I don’t think that’s something the Legislature’s going to hang its hat on.” Reeves said he hoped lawmakers would review recommendations with an eye toward shoring up the retirement system.
