Prisoners escape justice center Two state inmates assault correctional officer, climb razor wire fences; caught quickly

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two state inmates briefly escaped the Alcorn County Justice Center Thursday morning after assaulting a correctional officer, scaling two razor wire fences and entering a home

in the West Hills subdivision, where a woman was assaulted.

The inmates are David Payton, 31, who was serving 25 years on an armed robbery charge out of Hinds County, and Kendrick Davis, 27, who was serving 10 years on an at-

tempted rape charge and five years on a residential burglary charge from Sharkey County.

Warden Doug Mullins said it happened about 7:49 a.m. in the recreation yard when the two inmates assaulted the officer and handcuffed him. The of-

ficer was not seriously injured.

After scaling the two fences, the inmates headed north to the neighboring subdivision, where they were able to enter the unlocked back door at 507 West Hills. Police Chief David Lancaster said they apparently

went there because one of the subjects is acquainted with a female resident of the address.

Davis knocked the female down and struck her in the face and head several times, he said.

Board reconsiders, rehires Rivers Stroup

Do clothes make the man?

The Emperor of China in the Corinth TheatreArts’ production of The Emperor’s New Clothes apparently believes the phrase.

“He cares for nothing but clothes,” said director David Maxedon. “Con men make him believe that they can make cloth that can’t be seen by anyone unfit for the position he holds.”

The show is set for Friday and Saturday night, beginning at 7:30 at the Crossroads Playhouse.

A Sunday showing is scheduled for 2 p.m.

In the fairy tale, Emperor (Caleb Henson) hires two swindlers posing as tailors to make him the finest clothes. He walks proudly in his new attire even though he can’t see the clothes himself.

While the Emperor struts around in his new invisible clothes with everyone afraid to tell him they can’t see the clothes, a child blurts that the Emperor is actually wearing nothing at all.

The Emperor cringes, suspecting the claim is true, but holds himself up proudly and continues the procession, deciding never to be so vain again and to take his position more seriously.

“It does have a wonderful ending,” said Maxedon of the second production under his direction. “The story is set deep in China around the dawn of the 1900s. When the curtain is drawn, I want the audience to be transformed to China during that time.”

The Emperor’s New Clothes is written by Charlotte Chorpenning and adapted from the story by Hans Christian Anderson. The cast is made up of 15 talented children.

“I really like working with the kids,” said the director. “They are young enough where they listen and you can do some teaching.”

The Alcorn School District is monitoring a small number of cases of scabies at Alcorn Central High School.

The itchy condition is believed to be limited to Alcorn Central High School, where there have been three reported cases, although only two of those have been confirmed by a physician, according to Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith.

The first case was reported Feb. 9, and the school district nurse sent a letter to all ACHS parents on Monday to advise them of the situation.

Smith said a student who has scabies can return to school the day after being treated with a prescription medicated cream. The nurse

recommends Elimite. Although the rash may still be present for one or two weeks, the individual will no longer be contagious.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, scabies is an infestation of the skin caused by a microscopic mite that burrows into the upper layer of the skin, where it lives and lays eggs. An intense itch and pimple-like skin rash typically develops. The itching is sometimes worse at night.

The mite is usually spread by skin-to-skin contact or shared bedding, towels and clothing.

The rash often appears in a line. The note sent to parents says it is commonly found on

Prentiss County School Board members reversed course Wednesday, voting to rehire Thrasher Principal Rivers Stroup for the next school year and rescind a previous decision not to renew his contract.

A single changed vote reversed the outcome of the previous decision.

During Monday’s regular board meeting, the board voted 3-2 against renewing Stroup’s contract to serve as principal at Thrasher for the 2012-2013 school year. Board members Jason McCoy, Shelia Johnson and Ronny Kesler voted against the renewal while Steve Taylor and Lisa Slack voted in favor of renewing the contract.

Monday’s meeting was recessed until Wednesday when the board again took up the issue of the contract renewal.

The board room was packed Wednesday with approximate-

Paving projects for Fillmore, Proper streets should begin this week

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two Corinth street paving projects are expected to start this week.

The contract time began to elapse on Monday for both the Proper Street and Fillmore Street improvement projects, and the city expects the contractors to begin work at anytime.

The Proper Street project includes milling and paving of the

Projects include handicap accessibility ramps, limited sidewalk repair street from the junction with Cruise Street to Young Street.

The Fillmore Street project includes milling and paving from Childs Street to Main Street.

The Fillmore project is an extension of the street’s prior milling and paving work.

The projects include some handicap accessibility ramps,

mainly on Fillmore, and some limited sidewalk repair, said Dave Huwe, director of community development and planning.

Closing of the streets is not anticipated during the work, but there could be some occasional brief traffic delays, he said.

the sewer department replaced 400 feet of deteriorated sewer line. The replacement had to be completed before the paving project could begin.

The contract length is 90 calendar days for Proper Street and 60 calendar days for Fillmore Street.

Prairie Construction of Tupelo was low bidder on the Proper

Street project at $241,431.80.

Rutledge Contractors of Tupelo was the low bidder on the Fillmore Street project at $181,025.15.

The projects involve an allotment of federal dollars through the Mississippi Department of Transportation in a program aimed at higher-traffic thoroughfares.

To escape the Alcorn County Justice Center, the two state inmates had to climb over two razor-wire 12-foot fences.

ESCAPE: Deputies, Corinth officers were quickly on trail of suspects, had them back in custody by 8:16 CONTINUED FROM 1A

A male subject in the residence came to the defense of the woman, and Davis ran into a bedroom closet, while Payton knocked a hole in the ceiling and climbed into the attic.

Mullins said deputies and Corinth officers were quickly on the trail of the suspects and had them back in custody by 8:16.

The female subject was treated and released

hands, between the fingers, under the arms, on the chest and abdomen, and around the buttocks.

The CDC says it may take four to six weeks for symptoms to appear in a person who has never had scabies. Symptoms appear in one to four days in a person who has previously had scabies.

The school district advises parents to contact a doctor or school nurse if they suspect their child has scabies.

After treatment for scabies, all clothing, towels and bed linens should be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer.

at Magnolia Regional Health Center. One of the inmates was also treated and released for injuries sustained while climbing over the fences.

Mullins said the inmates will be charged with escape and assault on an officer and will be transferred to another MDOC facility.

Lancaster said the Corinth Police Department has charged both with burglary with in-

tent to commit assault. A $100,000 bond was set.

Mullins praised the work of officers from both departments in apprehending the inmates.

It is the first instance of escape at the new South Harper Road facility, and Mullins said the situation will be reviewed to see if any procedural changes are needed.

Also, “We will be looking at the perimeter of the facility and see if there is

anything we could do to keep that from happening again,” he said.

Mullins said it is no small feat to get over the facility’s razor wire fences.

“That stuff will slice you like a razor blade,” he said.

Because of the escape, the facility is on lockdown for a few days.

The state inmate population has been ranging from about 293 to 300.

STROUP: Kesler believes board members elected to make best decisions for district CONTINUED FROM 1A

the board met in closed session to discuss the issue with the group asking the Lord to give the board wisdom as they make their decisions for the good of the students.

After meeting for approximately 15 minutes in the closed executive session, the board reopened the meeting and voted to change the decision and rehire Stroup for the next school year. The

vote was again 3-2 with Kesler switching his vote from opposed to in favor of renewing the contract and all other votes remaining the same from the previous meeting.

Kesler had said following the original vote that he felt he should go along with the decision of McCoy, who represents the board district that includes Thrasher.

On Wednesday, Kesler said it was a very difficult decision to change his

vote and he emphasized the challenges faced by board members in doing their jobs and trying to make the best choices for the good of the district.

“I think at the time McCoy made the decision he thought was best and I stand by his decision.

However, at this time under the current circumstances, which I will not go into fully, I feel like it’s in the best interest for me to reassess my vote,” he said.

Kesler said he believes

the board members are elected to make the best possible decisions for the district and for the schools in their districts and no one can understand the pressures they face and the difficulty of those decisions unless they’ve been in that role. He emphasized his belief that McCoy was making the decision he felt was best and said he does not feel the decision was ever personal.

He also said he feels it’s time for the parents,

teachers and community to take a close look at their school and their test scores.

No other board members chose to make any public comment on the decision.

Stroup is a former principal of Alcorn Central High School and previously served as an assistant superintendent in the Alcorn School District before coming to Thrasher.

He ran unsuccessfully last year for the post of Alcorn County Superintendent.

Man faces weapon violations

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@ dailycorinthian.com

An Alabama man faces felony charges after Corinth police found he was carrying a semi-automatic handgun.

Zachary Lilley, 22, of Oakwood Road, Huntsville, Ala., was arrested Jan. 29 and charged with

possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a stolen firearm.

Police Chief David Lancaster said the arrest happened after officers saw Lilley’s vehicle weaving on U.S. Highway 72 during the early morning hours of Sunday, Jan. 29, and made a traffic stop.

Officers inquired about the smell of marijuana, and the subject informed them that he had a small amount in the vehicle.

A search of the vehicle uncovered the handgun, which a later records check revealed had been reported stolen from Huntsville.

Corinth, Miss.

Obama rules by mandate FOX News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace asked Jack Lew, White House Chief of Staff, what authorized President Obama to mandate free contraceptive, sterilization, and “plan B” pills for all women.

Lew replied the Affordable Daniel L. Gardner Health Care Act aka Obamacare authorizes the president Columnist to make any mandates he believes will make healthcare more affordable or effective.

Really? Any mandates he wants?

The stuff really hit the fan last week when the Obama administration revealed a mandate forcing Catholic hospitals and other organizations to provide a free assortment of services for all their women employees.

The Catholic Church has firmly stood against contraception, abortion, and other birth control for hundreds of years. Mr. Obama’s mandate would have forced Catholic hospitals to violate their own religious convictions.

Obamacare notwithstanding, the First Amendment is quite clear: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Did Mr. Obama’s mandate prohibit the free exercise of religion? Catholic bishops say “yes.” The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement saying in part, “Today’s proposal continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of religious institutions, and to threaten government coercion of religious people and groups to violate their most deeply held convictions.”

What if President Obama mandated the press could only report or comment on “what was good for the nation” as he saw it?

You may remember the White House actually tried to cut FOX News out of the White House news pool and refused requests for interviews in the early days of his presidency.

The mainstream media already toe the line for all things progressive. Freedom of the press allows Americans to see all sides of issues, not just the government line.

The Obama administration has a pattern of issuing mandates not only in this case against the Catholic Church regarding its practice of religion with a clear conscience. When the Congress could not pass so-called cap and trade legislation that would severely cost industries billions of dollars in energy mandates, the EPA went around Congress and announced its own mandates. After an outcry from the manufacturing sector as well as Congress and the American people, the EPA stepped back from those prohibitive mandates. And, we all know how Mr. Obama has basically crushed oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico costing thousands of jobs and hiking oil and gas prices to historic levels.

Mr. Obama has a well-documented White House record of ruling by mandate. If he can’t get Congress to pass his laws, he has shown he is more than willing to go around Congress and force businesses, industries and even individuals to do whatever he thinks is best. He has reminded us he is the president and he can do whatever he wants to do. Yes he can.

The president’s authority to impose his mandates for what he considers is best for America ends with the Constitution and Bill of Rights. That President Obama has forced his progressive views against our most basic religious rights is evident by the statement of the Conference of Catholic Bishops. What would his supporters say if another president imposed his or her non-progressive views against our most sacred rights?

ing if we start arming the rebels.

Syria is not Libya. Assad’s arsenal of missiles, tanks, planes and guns is far superior. He has a 270,000-man army and thousands of security police.

And with a tiny Shia Alawite sect dominant in Syria, and the rebellion rooted in a Sunni Muslim majority, Assad and his loyalists know that if they go down, they go to the wall.

“Christians to Beirut and Alawites to the wall,” was an early slogan of the resistance.

And after seeing the atrocities visited upon the Christians in Iraq when Saddam went down, and on Copts when Mubarak went down, do we want to depose another secular dictator — only to empower another regime of Islamic fundamentalists?

In Libya, the British and French led us in. Those NATO allies want no part of a Syrian civil war. In Libya, a third of the country was rebel-held territory. With a single coastal road leading from Gadhafi’s command post in Tripoli to Benghazi, NATO planes could easily interdict convoys trying to reach the rebel base. In Syria, the rebels have no “liberated” territory.

The U.N. Security Council authorized a no-fly zone over Libya. But Russia, burned by what NATO did in Libya, stands ready to veto a no-fly zone over Syria. U.S. military aid to the rebels could bring Russian military aid to its client re-

gime in Damascus.

U.S. intervention could also trigger a proxy war and a regional war.

Assad’s ally, Hezbollah, is already battling Syrian rebels in Lebanon. Sunnis in Iraq’s Anbar province are shipping guns to their fellow Sunnis in Syria.

And if Assad falls, who rises? Would a triumphant Muslim Brotherhood in Damascus keep the peace on the Golan Heights, as the Assads did for 40 years?

According to U.S. sources, al-Qaida was behind the four suicide bombings that killed scores of Syrian soldiers and officials in Damascus and Aleppo.

Osama bin Laden’s successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has called on Sunnis from all neighboring countries to join the war against Assad’s “pernicious, cancerous regime.”

If the ouster of Assad is good for al-Qaida, can it also be good for America?

As for the Free Syrian Army to whom U.S. military aid would go, it is divided with itself, and one ranking colonel has described the Syrian National Council, with whom we have been working, as “traitors.”

Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya — none has turned out as was predicted when we plunged in. And other than neoconservative ideology, what makes us think intervening in Syria will?

They became my friends because I stopped seeing them as labels and began seeing them as persons with innate worth. That is what I failed to do in my first response to Rachel Maddow. One might expect a pro-lifer like me to support the birth of fellow human beings and not suggest they should never have been born.

I expect to like Rachel Maddow because my instinct is to separate the value of a person from his or her political position.

State Associated Press

Supervisors to look at door-to-door sales PURVIS — The Lamar County supervisors want to consider a stronger ordinance governing doorto-door sales.

The Hattiesburg American reports that the board on Thursday asked its attorney draft a new version of the ordinance regulating door-to-door vendors that would put more teeth into the law.

Currently the ordinance only spells out the times of day that door-to-door sales are allowed. It does not offer any sort of punitive element for those violating the ordinance.

Besides the county ordinance, state law requires door-to-door vendors to be bonded and register in the counties where the sales calls will be made.

Runoff set in Ripley mayor’s election RIPLEY — Breat Tye and Chris Marsalis will participate in the Feb. 28 runoff for mayor of Ripley.

After affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday and the election certified, Tye had 262 votes to 244 for Marsalis.

Nine candidates were on Tuesday’s ballot.

City election officials had to switch to paper ballots Tuesday after Tye discovered about an hour after polls opened that his name had been left off the ballot used by electronic voting machines.

The winner will serve the remaining term of Kerri Hill who died in December.

Special election set for superintendent JACKSON — Noxubee County voters will choose a superintendent of schools in an April 3 special election.

Gov. Phil Bryant announced the election date on Thursday.

A news release from Bryant’s office says a circuit court determined in January that a special election is needed because some absentee ballots were not properly

processed in the August 2011 Democratic primary for Noxubee superintendent.

No other party fielded a candidate for superintendent in the November 2011 general election.

The school district’s website says Roger W. Lidell is superintendent.

Bill proposes charter school overhaul JACKSON (AP) — A new bill in the Mississippi Senate would let students cross district lines to attend charter schools.

The bill also would send local tax money along with the student to any charter school, even if the charter school is in another district.

A new commission would approve applications and oversee operations of the schools, meant to achieve better academic performance in exchange for freedom from regulation.

Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, an Oxford Republican, says his Senate

Bill 2401 would set the stage for innovative approaches to improve Mississippi’s schools.

Critics question whether the state should allow charter schools as widely as Tollison proposes.

Nancy Loome, head of the Parents’ Campaign, says that with scarce money, Mississippi needs to limit charter schools to areas where schools are chronically failing.

Johnson says when and if they are captured and deemed to be healthy, the coyotes will be transported to state wildlife preserve near Vancleave.

Johnson says residents are still being urged to stay away from the animals and protect their pets.

FBI issues scam alert Officials believe coyotes roam town PASCAGOULA — Pascagoula officials are trying new bait in hopes of capturing at least two adult coyotes seen in the local neighborhood.

Police Chief Kenny Johnson tells the Mississippi Press says a little internet search found the animals might be attracted to rotten eggs.

Johnson says the eggs were being tried Thursday. Traps had been baited with dog food.

He says at least one coyote was spotted again Thursday — the

JACKSON — The FBI has warned Mississippi residents of a telephone scam that claims the person is eligible for a $5,000 to $10,000 grant from the Grants Depart-

ment of the federal government.

It supposedly can be used for home or residential purposes.

The FBI says in a statement that a claim code containing two letters and three numbers is provided, along with a telephone number beginning with “202,” which is a Washington, D.C. area code.

The FBI says the scammer asks the person to provide credit card or banking information in order to pay a processing fee for the grant.

The FBI says they also give the person the option of sending funds through Western Union.

Six slow-down times irk driver Associated Press

WHITE LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — An unusual school zone speed limit sign in suburban Detroit has drawn the attention of an irked driver.

Greg Smith tells The Oakland Press of Pontiac that he noticed the sign recently in Oakland County’s White Lake Township that lists six separate times when drivers should

slow down to 25 mph on school days.

Smith says drivers “practically have to come to a stop to read it.” An elementary, middle and high school all are nearby.

U.S. officials tie terror group to Syrian bombings

BY KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Top U.S. intelligence officials pointed to al-Qaida in Iraq on Thursday as the likely culprit behind recent bombings in Syria, the deadliest attacks against the Syrian government in the 11-month uprising.

Though the U.S. has called for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down, his fall could lead to a power vacuum that al-Qaida’s largest regional affiliate or other extremist groups could fill, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress. And that could allow such groups to help themselves to Syria’s vast stockpiles of chemical weapons.

At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the crisis in Syria has become “that much more serious” and worrisome to the United States as a result of indications that al-Qaida has infiltrated the government’s opposition.

“It does raise concerns for us that al-Qaida is trying to assert a presence there,” he said. “As to just what their role is and how extensive their role is, I think that still remains to be seen.”

In New York, meanwhile, the U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution backing an Arab League plan calling for Assad to step down and strongly condemning human rights violations it said his government had committed. The vote, though not legally binding, reflects widespread world opinion.

Likewise, in Vienna, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian government of committing “almost certain” crimes against hu-

manity as activists reported fresh violence and the arrest of several prominent dissidents, including a U.S.-born blogger.

The comments by Panetta and Clapper in Washington marked a diplomatically dissonant moment of near-agreement between American officials and the Syrian leadership they have called on to step down, after the deaths of thousands of Syrians in the unrest that started during last year’s Arab Spring.

Syrian President Assad has long blamed terrorists for starting the uprising, which has pitted his military against a rag-tag group of angry Syrians, divided by religion and neighborhood.

Al-Qaida’s leader called for Assad’s ouster last week. That endorsement has created new obstacles for the U.S., its Western allies and Arab states trying to figure out a way to help push Assad from power.

Clapper said bombings against Syrian security and intelligence targets in Damascus in December, and two more recent bombings in the nation’s largest city, Aleppo, bear “all the earmarks of an alQaida-like attack,” leading the U.S. intelligence to believe the Iraqi militant branch is extending its reach into Syria.

He added the mixture of Syrian opposition groups may have been infiltrated by such militants, probably without their knowledge.

“We’ve seen evidence of Sunni extremists,” he said. “Can’t label them specifically as al-Qaida, but similar ilk who are infiltrating the oppositionist groups.”

Clapper predicted continued stalemate in Syria, with the opposition too disorganized to present a formidable threat on one side, and Iran providing arms and continued support to prop up the government on the other.

But he warned Assad’s fall would be a boon to extremists.

“There is no identifiable group that would succeed him,” Clapper said. “So there would be kind of a vacuum, I think, that would lend itself to extremists operating in Syria,” who could potentially access the country’s multiple chemical weapons sites.

Al-Qaida in Iraq is best positioned to take advantage of that chaos, with its strong family and Sunni religious ties in Syria. The group has long used the country as a transit point to smuggle bombers and bomb-making material over Syria’s long desert border with Iraq. During the U.S. war in Iraq, Syrian coordinators were able to smuggle fighters back and forth between the two countries.

Clapper said the Iraqbased group “remains capable of high-profile attacks” inside Iraq, and is likely to continue attacking U.S. interests there.

Prior to Clapper’s remarks, U.S. intelligence officials had been more circumspect, saying the main trunk of al-Qaida was seeking to ally itself with the Syrian rebels as a way to reinvigorate its overall campaign, so under siege is the group from the CIA drone war in Pakistan and the steady drumbeat of special operations raids and air strikes in Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.

Campbell Soup reports financial results today for a quarter that includes the cold months when the company counts on strong sales of its soups. But Campbell's revenue from soup has fallen during the past year. The company has raised prices to offset higher costs of ingredients, packaging and energy, but budgetconscious shoppers have tightened their spending on groceries.

Financial analysts expect Campbell to report lower earnings.

Boozer, Deng lead Chicago The Associated Press

CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls understand they’ll be better off once Derrick Rose returns.

No need to rush, though. They keep winning even with their star sidelined.

Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng each scored 23 points, and Chicago escaped with an 89-80 victory over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night after blowing a 16-point lead.

It was hardly an easy night for the Bulls, but they won again even though Rose, the reigning MVP, missed his fourth straight game because of lower back pain.

For now, they’re getting by. It hasn’t been easy the past few games, though.

The Bulls struggled early before going on a big run that gave them a 16-point lead in the opening minutes of the third quarter.

North Half Basketball Lions ‘Squirt’ past West Oktibbeha into 1A semifinals

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

BIGGERSVILLE — Squirt squirmed through the lane and Biggersville celebrated.

Darrien “Squirt” Williams penetrated the West Oktibbeha defense and connected on a floater with four seconds remaining as the Lions remained alive with a 51-49 win in the first of four games at the Class 1A Boys North State Tournament.

Biggersville (25-7) will face H.W. Byers tonight at 6 in the first of two semifinal games.

Coffeeville and Coldwater will battle in the nightcap.

Tonight’s winners will qualify for the State Tournament and play for the North State title at 7:30 on Saturday.

Williams W e s t Oktibbeha (22-9) knotted things at 49 on Dantaveous Crawford’s runner with one minute remaining. The bucket capped a 6-0 run that erased the Lions’ second six-point advan-

tage of the second half.

Biggersville held the ball for a final shot and Williams sent the home crowd into a frenzy and the Lions to within one win of a coveted berth in the State Tournament.

“I’ll win or go down with the ball in his hands every night,” said first-year BHS Head Coach Cliff Little. “He’s just a warrior. He played all 32 minutes and could’ve played another game if we needed him to.”

Biggersville led on just four occasions in the first half for a total of 1:39. West Oktibbeha led by six in the first and took

its biggest lead of seven -- at 23-16 -- with five minutes left in the second quarter.

The Lions used a 10-2 run to erase the seven-point disadvantage. Dexter Stafford, who had a team-high 18, reeled off six straight points and another Williams bucket off penetration gave BHS a 26-25 lead with 2:04 left.

The Timberwolves responded with six straight for a 31-26 lead with 11 ticks remaining before recess. Jaylon Gaines gave the Lions some momentum going into the Please see LIONS | 9A

Warriors roll into semifinal contest

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

SHANNON -— Corinth hit North Pontotoc with five straight points and never looked back in advancing in the Class 4A Boys North State Tournament.

The Warriors remained unbeaten all-time against the Vikings and moved into the semifinal round with an easy 78-53 in the third of four games Thursday at Shannon High School.

Corinth (26-5) will play Greenwood tonight at 7:30

with a berth in the State Tournament on the line. Greenwood advanced with a 51-44 decision over New Albany.

Host Shannon and Amanda Elzy will battle in the first semifinal game.

Corinth took a quick 5-0 lead in the elimination round and had the Vikings doubled at 20-10 before the end of the period.

The Warriors were 10-of16 from the floor and didn’t commit a turnover in taking a 25-14 lead after one.

CHS extended the lead to

41-26 at the break. Deione Weeks closed the frame on a personal 5-0 run and nearly had as many points (21) as the Vikings after 16 minutes.

Eric Richardson, who tied Weeks for game honors, opened the third quarter with consecutive three-point buckets as the lead swelled to 23.

The senior hit three extrapoint baskets in each half, finishing 6-of-10 from beyond the arc.

Raheem Sorrell had 10 of Corinth’s 22 points in the

third en route to a 16-point night.

Vanderbilt rolls over Mississippi behind Taylor, Jenkins duo

BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

OXFORD, Miss. — The avalanche of offense started with Jeffery Taylor’s first layup and ended on Kyle Fuller’s free throw. In between was a Vanderbilt performance so dominant that coach Kevin Stallings couldn’t help feel a little sorry for Mississippi.

“Honestly, I felt sympathy for them because things were going so well,” Stallings said.

But he’ll certainly take the win. And Vanderbilt’s 102-76 road victory over Ole Miss on Thursday night was as impressive as they come.

Taylor scored 28 points — including 23 in the first half — and John Jenkins added 26 as the Commodores rebounded from an emotional loss to No. 1 Kentucky. It was the first time the Commodores have topped 100 points since 2006.

Vanderbilt (18-8, 7-4 Southeastern Conference) put the Rebels away early with a blazing first half that featured 70.8 percent shooting from the field (17 of 24), including 83.3 percent (10 of 12) from 3-point range, on the way to a 53-28 halftime lead.

“It was ridiculous,” Taylor said. “But everyone got on a roll. When we get on a roll we’re hard to defend.”

Taylor’s first half was nearly perfect. The 6-foot-

7 senior made 8 of 10 shots, including his first seven. He fell two points short of tying a career high.

It was embarrassing game for Ole Miss (15-10, 5-6), which received three technical fouls, including one after the fans threw ice on the floor for a second time.

Jarvis Summers led the Rebels with 14 points.

Murphy Holloway added 13.

Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy and senior Terrance Henry both had technical fouls by the end of the night. After the game, teammates Reginald Buckner and Jelan Kendrick had to be separated by the coaching staff after an argument.

It was the most fight the Rebels showed all night.

“When you played like we played there’s a lot of frustration to go around,” Kennedy said. “I’m sure

some of that got misguided.”

Kennedy didn’t say if there would be any discipline for Kendrick or Buckner going forward.

Taylor scored on a driving lay-up to give the Commodores a 2-0 lead and kept on hitting shots.

He made four 3-pointers, three regular buckets and a free throw before finally missing — on a free throw Please see REBELS | 9A

hits game-winner CONTINUED FROM 8A

break with a three-pointer just ahead of the buzzer.

Biggersville carried the momentum over into the second half. A Martonious Watson bucket erased the Wolves last lead and the Lions scored eight of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next 10 points for a 39-33 advantage midway through the third.

The Lions never trailed again.

BHS took a 43-41 lead following three quarters and after the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swapped out buckets over the first 30 seconds of the fourth, Little opted to take the air out of the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they could guard us man-to-man and wanted to get them out of their zone,â&#x20AC;? said Little. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we could dice them up by spreading them out.â&#x20AC;?

While shortening the game the Lions were able to add to their lead. BHS used a 4-0 advantage over the next five minutes, upping its advantage to 4943 on a Gainesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; steal and lay-up with 2:35 remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People might have thought we were scared, but we wanted them to make a decision,â&#x20AC;? Little said of holding the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to hold it that long, but they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out and guard us.â&#x20AC;?

Two quick buckets, the latter of a Biggersville turnover, pulled West Oktibbeha to within 49-47 with 1:54 remaining. BHS came up empty on an inside shot with 1:32 remaining and the Timberwolves answered with a gametying shot with one minute left.

The Lions played for the win or overtime in the final minute with Williams providing the game-winning bucket in the final seconds.

REBELS: Vandy cools off after half CONTINUED FROM 8A

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with 5:33 remaining in the first half.

Ole Miss managed to hang with Vanderbiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frantic scoring pace for a while, pulling within 22-21 on a Demarco Cox dunk with 11:42 remaining in the first half. But the Commodores ended the half on a 31-7 run thanks to their stunning shooting display.

Vanderbilt cooled off in the second half, but by then the game was decided. The Commodores finished with a 62.5 percent (30 of 48) shooting percentage from the floor, including 63.2 percent (12 of 19) from behind the 3-point line.

Festus Ezeli added 13 points and four blocked shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never sensed this,â&#x20AC;? Stallings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We caught them on a great night. We just got off to a good start and it snowballed from there.â&#x20AC;?

Florida, South Carolina among SEC favorites

BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

Florida coach Kevin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe he was saying the words. Just two years ago it would have been college baseball blasphemy: Pitchers are dominant in the Southeastern Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pitching is as good as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had the Friday night starters, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a deep league that has great Saturday and Sunday starters too. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got power arms in every bullpen. The depth is tremendous.â&#x20AC;?

The SEC has won three straight national championships and the contenders are lining up once again this season. Two-time defending national champion South Carolina lost some of its top-shelf talent, but is still formidable.

The Gamecocks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with Florida, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and LSU â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are among the favorites to win the SEC and contend nationally.

All of them have a common trait: Terrific pitching.

The trend is a combination of talent and circumstances. The NCAA made a dramatic change last season when it adjusted the potency of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous metal bats that sent homers and pitchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; earned run aver-

ages soaring. The new bats play much more like their wooden counterparts.

As a result, almost all offensive categories plummeted.

Now pitching is king. And there are multiple aces in the SEC who have taken advantage, including Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hudson Randall, South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Roth and Arkansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; D.J. Baxendale.

The Gators were picked by the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite after returning almost all of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team that finished with a 53-19 record (22-8 SEC) and advanced to the College World Series championship series before losing to the Gamecocks. SEC player of the year Mike Zunino (.371 batting average, 19 homers and 67 RBIs) and Preston Tucker (.308, 15, 74) anchor a lineup that has six regulars returning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the capability to string a lot of hits together,â&#x20AC;?

Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about approach and focusing on driving the baseball. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to focus on winning each weekend and everything else will take care of itself.â&#x20AC;?

Randall, a junior right-hander, leads the rotation after finishing 11-3 with 2.17 ERA last season. Right-hander Karsten Whitson (8-1, 2.40) and left-

Stricklen leads Lady Vols over MSU

hander Brian Johnson (8-3, 3.62) also have lots of experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of guys back who played a big role and that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen very often in our game,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got guys who have been through it before, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. But this league is so competitive that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to worry about the SEC East first. If we take care of that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in line to accomplish all of our other goals.â&#x20AC;?

South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest for a three-peat will begin with several new faces. The Gamecocks lost most of their lineup mainstays, but have some experience on the mound. Roth, a senior left-hander, dominated with a 14-3 record and 1.06 ERA last season. Junior Matt Price moves into the rotation after saving 30 games over the past two seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too far ahead of ourselves,â&#x20AC;? South Carolina coach Ray Tanner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I have said this many, many times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you can survive your conference through the regular season, you win enough to get to the postseason, you have a chance because you are battletested. 2012 is not going to be any different.â&#x20AC;?

Arkansas won the SEC Western Division last season and

returns a deep pitching staff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s led by Baxendale, a junior right-hander who finished with a 10-2 record and 1.58 ERA last season.

LSU is trying to rebound from a rough season by the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lofty standards.

The Tigers missed the SEC tournament and an NCAA regional last season, finishing with a 36-20 record. But they return six regulars and the bulk of their pitching staff from a year ago, including sophomore Kevin Gausman, who had a 3.51 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 90 innings last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there were some lessons learned last season,â&#x20AC;?

Mainieri said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because the front of our jersey says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we automatically win. But we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far off from having a great team last season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to win the one-run games.â&#x20AC;?

Vanderbilt returns several regulars after making the College World Series last season for the first time in program history, but is rebuilding its pitching staff with young talent.

Georgia figures to be a factor in the Eastern Division as well, returning senior right-hander Michael Palazzone, who helped the Bulldogs bounce back from subpar 2010 season with a 10-5 record and 3.14 ERA in 2011.

Stand up for what is right Northeast at Corinth’s veteran Many times our decisions are made regarding the frame of mind we are in. The question is: Are we always in the right frame of mind to make realistic decisions according to what God would have us to do instead of what the world wants us to do?

Have you tuned into the world or have you tuned into Jesus? Life on earth is short and based on your conversion experience eternal life can be your reward.

Have the courage to set the trend. If you follow the world’s leadership you are losing sight of the straight and narrow road Jesus has laid out for you.

Don’t let worldly pleasures misguide you or keep you from doing what is right. To be a leader you have a goal in life, a bright outlook and a fellowship.

Even though it is unpopular to stand for Christ and have good ethical morals, people will respect you in the long run. Satan is only for the minute and the quick satisfaction. He will lift you to a great high and allow you to feel good about yourself and then drop you like a ton of bricks.

E v e n though it is unpopular to stand for the Christian Gary v a l u e s , Andrews you will be surprised Devotionals how well you are respected by your peers for your decisions. Moral integrity and values are God given attributes that will always gain favor.

Even the simple and weak minded will desire what you have if you will stand firm and do what is right.

Make yourself accountable to God as Jesus made Himself accountable to the Father. Jesus prayed for guidance and strength from the Father and we should do the same each day in every situation. Jesus was the great example of how a world full of sin will treat you. Even Pilate, and his wife, conformed to what the world wanted.

Both wanted Jesus freed but allowed Him to be crucified.

Stand up for what you know is right and morally correct. Don’t allow the world to lead you in direc-

tions and decisions that you know are not based on Christian values.

Remember what Jesus said to His disciples which in turn speak to us of today: John 15:5-8 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

7. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

8. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

Prayer: Thank you Jesus for another day of life. I pray that today and everyday of my life on earth will be under your guidance and influence.

Amen.

rt Hea

director has worn many hats “Would you like to have a job this summer?”

That is a question many young people have been asked by Nelson Wall. Presently he is the director of Northeast at Corinth, but he has worn many other hats during his 51 years in school administration and special programs.

As you continue to read, you may discover why Mr. Wall liked helping students find employment. He has walked a mile in their shoes!

At the beginning of summer 1965, Nelson came to my house and several other teenagers’ homes, asking the above question. He was lining up workers for the first Head Start summer program in Alcorn County, and many high school students benefited from the work experience as well as the income. The pay, if I remember correctly, was $1.15/hour.

Alcorn’s Head Start turned out to be the first working Head Start program in the entire nation.

Mr. Wall had everything organized, workers lined up and got permission to begin the program ahead of everyone else in the country.

Two of my older brothers, Leon and Leroy, were

When Farmington Principal J.L. Ray heard about Wall’s decision, he was not happy. He set to change his course.

Nelson had worked about three weeks, when Mr. Ray walked into Elmore’s one day.

Nelson explained to his principal about the decision to drop out of school — his family needed money. Mr. Ray had a different plan, however. He had made arrangements for Nelson to work only part-time at Elmore’s, making $12/ week, and then work during recess at Carter’s store beside the school, making $6/week, ending up with the same total pay.

Nelson agreed to the deal, made up his three weeks of missed homework, and got on track to complete his education.

He graduated from Farmington in 1952 as Valedictorian of his class.

(Nelson Wall’s story continues in next week’s The Back Porch.

p l a y m a t e s with Nelson, and w h e n my next brother Lora Ann was reHuff covering from poBack Porch lio, Nelson was quite handy as he helped carry Lenard around outside.

The neighborhood school was Fields, an 8th grade facility with only two rooms and no lunch room or indoor plumbing.

Farmington High School was the next step in education — quite a change from Fields but a definite step toward success.

Sadness came in 1946 when Nelson’s dad passed away. Nelson and his younger sister were still in school, and times were especially hard as Mrs. Wall tried to carry on without her husband.

Nelson was the first in his family to graduate from high school, but that didn’t come easy.

In fact, Nelson dropped out of school in the 11th grade, intending to work and help his mother provide for the family.

He went to work at V. J. Elmore (five and dime store) in Corinth, making

Everyone knows Amber is lying, but she keeps it going like she believes it herself. Abby, should I try to save her the embarrassment and tell her that everyone knows she’s faking? Or should I just sit back and see where the lying gets her? — REALLY EXPECTING IN CHICAGO DEAR REALLY EXPECTING: Your coworker appears to be mentally disturbed. This is something that should be discussed with Amber’s supervisor, so perhaps an intervention can be done and she can get the help she needs. As much of a concern as this is for you, it should be even more so to her employer.

Because there is no way to predict how she might react if her fantasy is threatened, you should not be the person to question it. If she’s taking time from work for OB/ GYN appointments, her employer could request a note from the doctor.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Jared,” who is the nephew of my sister’s husband. Due to the

family situation, this is a very weird relationship. I was widowed at 22. I am now 27, and this is the first relationship I have had since my husband died. I’m not sure what to do.

Is it wrong to date Jared? How do I introduce him to family and friends?

My sister always refers to him as her nephew. That makes me feel like my relationship with him is incestuous. — MIXED UP IN WISCONSIN DEAR MIXED UP: Because Jared isn’t a blood relative, your relationship with him is not incestuous.

Introduce him to family and friends as Jared, the friend you’re dating. If the relationship becomes more serious, introduce him as Jared, your boyfriend or fiance.

But please stop feeling guilty about your relationship because you’re doing nothing wrong.

Horoscopes by Holiday

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The Capricorn moon is a doer. The energy of this determined lunar placement reminds us that action speaks louder than words. The alignment of word and deed builds reputation. Because Capricorn is also the station of social standing, you may be ultra-conscious of what people are saying about you during this moon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because you are tolerant and sensitive to the beliefs of others, you’ll be a kind of liaison between people who would otherwise have a hard time coming to terms.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). Your energy has a magical quality, opening flowers, hearts, mysteries... You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish with a well-placed question and the timing of your touch.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whether or not you believe in angels, you won’t be able to deny that there are unseen forces on your side now. Events will come together in inexplicable ways.

CANCER (June 22July 22). Avoid giving instructions or advice.

Teach only through example. What happens this evening will be a story you’ll tell at the water cooler -- or its digital equivalent -- tomorrow morning.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beginnings and excitement make your life more wonderful in the next 24-hour cycle. You are lucky. You have felt that life was against you, but all of that is going away now. Believe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your poetic sign mate said it best: “Ring the bells that still can ring._ Forget your per-

fect offering._ There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in._” -Leonard Cohen LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Of course the help comes when you need it most; that’s when you’re asking for it. Consider asking long before that crucial point. You are favored now, and you will be answered.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Why would someone follow you? The question will arise, and perhaps this is something you never considered before. The result has something to do with your superlative taste.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your friends know you -- and sometimes better than you know yourself. Sometimes. Listen with an open mind to their observance of you, and see whether it brings you a deeper understanding.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Someone may give you the impression that winning big and being all that you can be isn’t appropriate. That person is wrong. Shine your light at full wattage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Secret goals gain power and momentum.

Ambition alone can’t take you where you want to go. Diplomacy is crucial.

When you make it a priority to be politically savvy, you’ll succeed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to connect and may even be feeling a touch sentimental. The social schedule is tight; you’ll flit like a butterfly from one scene to the next. Contact an inspiring person from your past.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 17). It’s a year of enrichment. You open up to others and let them teach you.

The next five weeks

HOLDER’S 1914 Polk St. (old Hwy. 45 N.) • Corinth, MS

bring an important breakthrough in your personal life. Professional progress will be slow and steady. Your talent gets a showcase in June. You’ll be part of a winning team in July. Moves are featured in October. Aries and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 13, 10 and 5.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Silent types will be attractive to you. A person of few words has much to say.

TAURUS: Not needing to be the center of attention shows virtue and class.

GEMINI: Your independent mood will be broken up by lovely bits of connection.

CANCER: Your balanced life makes you depend less on others for your happiness.

LEO: You will study your history with a person and define your future together.

VIRGO: Some people back away from those who seem needy, but you sense that you can help another person out, so you’ll move forward with a generous heart.

LIBRA: Someone with your same basic interests will be nonetheless different enough to excite and surprise you.

SCORPIO: A break from romance helps you gain a healthy perspective.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll be straightforward with those you love, and your relationships are better for it.

CAPRICORN: You feel good about your life, and this energized karma attracts optimistic people to you.

AQUARIUS: You’ll trade secrets with a potential love.

PISCES: Issues of power affect a relationship.

Everyone wants to feel in control of the scene, but that’s not always possible.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: With the moon in Capricorn and the sun in its final hours of an Aquarius journey, these two signs experience a sense of urgency in their union. Their relationship could appear to be impractical or maybe even forbidden in some way, and that only adds to their desire to be together. In all great love stories, there are seemingly impossible obstacles for love to overcome.
