Downtown Blaze

Quick action by the Corinth Fire Department kept a downtown fire from consuming a whole block on Sunday night.

Crossroads Dry Cleaners destroyed in Sunday night fire

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The quick response of the Corinth Fire Department kept a tragic blaze from escalating.

Firemen controlled a late Sunday night re that destroyed Crossroads Dry Clean-

ers on 712 Cruise Street, and didn ’t allow the blaze to overwhelm any other business.

Corinth remen were dispatched at 11:18 p.m. and remained on the scene until 2:56 a.m. according to Fire Chief Rob Price. Five units battled

the re with several off-duty remen also being called to the scene.

“We haven ’t been able to get in there and determine what caused the re, ” said Price.

Firemen were able to contain the blaze and keep it from

causing major damage to The BelHaven, which houses apartments and ofce space, located next door to the dry cleaners.

Residents of the apartments were evacuated but no one was Please see FIRE | 2

Veterans office move frees space

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County supervisors on Monday approved the veteran service ofce ’s request to move to the vacated justice court ofces in the courthouse.

Justice Court has made its move to the new Alcorn County Justice Center, freeing space in the Alcorn County Courthouse.

The Veterans Service Ofce currently occupies cramped quarters on the lower level of the courthouse, and Veterans Service Ofcer Pat Ray told the board more space is needed to ensure privacy for clients. The current ofce has three rooms — a front lobby/ofce, a back ofce and a copy/ling room.

The layout poses a problem if more than one client is being consulted.

“If I ’m ling a claim in the back ofce and someone comes in the front ofce, they cannot talk to the other service ofcer without the public overhearing, ” she said.

Getting in the Christmas spirit

Corinth’s 2011 Christmas parade was themed “An 1800s Christmas.” Residents lined downtown streets to view floats, marching bands and vehicle entries.

injured.

“The fire tried to go in one of the windows, but the guys made a quick save,” said Price.

Crossroads Dry Cleaners owner Kevin Harvell was swift to commend the efforts of the firemen.

“Rob Price and his firemen did an excellent job,” said Harvell. “I want to

commend them along with the police and other emergency personnel.”

“The guys did a superior job of keeping it contained to just the one building,” added Price.

Harvell, who has owned the dry cleaning business for two years, says the business will bounce back.

“The toughest part is it happened this time of

the year,” he said. “Fortunately, no one was hurt and we hope our customers will be patient as we look forward to building back down the road.”

The fire affected eight employees at the dry cleaning business along with eight tenants of The BelHaven.

Jonathan Marsh, who owns The BelHaven, says things could have been

much worse.

“When I pulled up it looked like all of downtown was on fire,” said Marsh, who has a Modern Woodmen office located downstairs in the building next door to the dry cleaners. “It could have

The additional space would allow the office to have a conference room which could be used to offer post traumatic stress disorder counseling through the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Memphis.

“They are willing to come to Alcorn County and meet with our veterans,” said Ray. “But it’s got to be a secure location. It’s a very emotional, hard thing for these vet-

erans. If we had that office, they could go out the back door and the public wouldn’t see them.”

Supervisors approved the request to move contingent upon justice court being fully moved out of the space.

Ray said she plans to have the carpets cleaned and ceilings painted in the offices.

The Veterans Service Office had 2,087 filings in a 12-month period as it assisted veterans from Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo, Tippah, McNairy and Marshall counties.

In other business: ■ The board reappoint-

ed Larry James as a county appointee on the Magnolia Regional Health Center Board of Trustees.

■ Sheriff Charles Rinehart reported an additional 50 state inmates are expected to arrive at the regional correctional facility on Wednesday stemming from the closing of the Delta Correctional Facility. The latest monthly payment to Alcorn County for housing state inmates was $222,514.68 and for the work center inmates was $22,450.

■ The board’s next meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 19.

Marsh says he has been told that his tenants will be able to move back in within a few days.

“My hat is off to our firemen,” said Marsh. “The whole building could have easily caught on fire without the job they did.”

Marsh spent most of the day at the site trying to get the apartments cleaned.

“We had the one apartment catch fire around a window. Other than that it’s mostly smoke and water damage,” he said.

from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., throughout the week.

Recipients from previous years are not guaranteed to be deemed eligible in the 2011 Christmas Basket program. This has been a point of confusion in the past, Sleeper said.

Selected Christmas Baskets applicants should be at the distribution point at the Crossroads Arena at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10. Applicants must have a photo ID. If making a pick-up for a recipient, they must have the actual recipient’s photo ID. If selected recipients on the list do not show up, the food packages will be

distributed to people on a standby list. This list will be developed Saturday.

Applicants who wish to be put on the standby list should go to the distribution area at the Crossroads Arena on Saturday, Dec. 10.

So far the community has raised slightly over $17,000 — about $8,000 shy of the $25,000 goal for the 2011 Christmas Basket program.

“The community is off to a very good start, but we’re still a long way from that goal,” Sleeper said. “It’s a difficult time to give but donors can be confident that the money will go to where they intend it to go. All the money goes to food,

and all the food will be distributed to somebody.”

Obama would rather run against Newt than Mitt

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Does President Barack Obama get a vote in the Republican primary?

Apparently, he wants one. His campaign organization has targeted Mitt Romney for negative ads, a sure sign that he would rather run against Newt Gingrich than against Mitt.

Obama may not be right. His political judgment is, after all, flawed. But he likely sees the race in ideological terms — as he sees the world — and would rather run against a strong conservative like Newt than someone with moderate credentials like Romney.

How do we know? Obama is now running ads, through the Democratic Party, in Virginia, North Carolina, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin attacking Romney for changing his position on abortion. The ad begins with an announcer saying, in ominous tones, that he is about to describe the drama of “two men inhabiting one body.” But he’s not talking about multiple personality disorder. He’s attacking Romney for once having been pro-choice and now being pro-life.

Apparently, Obama does not understand that Mitt — like Reagan, Nixon and Bush 41 before him — has abandoned his pro-choice position as he came to know more about the issue.

But where are the ads attacking Newt?

There aren’t any. It is unprecedented for a Democratic candidate to take sides in a Republican presidential primary. But Obama is doing it. He’s scared to death of Romney. All of the things that make his nomination more problematic among conservatives strengthen his credentials to defeat Obama in November. His former pro-choice posture, his embrace of gay civil unions (but not marriage), and his sponsorship of Romneycare in Massachusetts — despite its obvious differences from Obama’s program — make him more acceptable to independents. So Obama is determined to vote in the Republican Primary for Newt.

Bill Clinton, doubtless following the same instincts, says positive things about Newt.

The Democrats want to defeat Romney.

But they may be wrong. Newt is the better debater and would doubtless destroy Obama in a face-to-face confrontation. And Newt’s creative thinking and original ideas might well appeal to an electorate used to sound bites that mean nothing and lead nowhere.

(Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and author of “Rewriting History.” He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Exec pushes to transform education JACKSON (AP) — It’s been said so often that it’s cliché: Mississippi needs to invest in public education to improve its economic future.

The warm-and-fuzzy sentiment gets polite applause from politicians, even from those who consistently vote to shortchange the state’s school funding formula and from those who are unwilling to challenge the status quo by pushing for stronger school administrators or innovative teaching methods.

Still, when one of Mississippi’s most successful business executives speaks out for stronger education system, and invests millions of his own dollars to help create the change he’s seeking, that grabs people’s attention.

Former Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale is helping the state chamber of commerce, the Mississippi Economic Council, promote ideas in Blueprint Mississippi, an outline of proposals to improve the state. MEC will present Blueprint to legislators in January, offering it as a ready-made policy package.

Blueprint calls for creating

an early childhood education system; setting more rigorous standards for admission Emily Wagster to and graduPettus ation from university Under the Capitol Dome programs that train teachers; setting a system of merit pay for teachers; bringing in more educators from Teach for America, which sends graduates of top universities to teach in some of the neediest parts of the U.S.; and eliminating the election of local school superintendents by 2015.

Barksdale has long advocated improving education by boosting literacy. In 2000, he donated $100 million to create the Barksdale Reading Institute, a group that has provided books and teacher training for some of Mississippi’s neediest schools.

“If a child can’t read, it doesn’t much matter what else you’re trying to teach them. They can’t learn science, they can’t learn history, they can’t learn math,” Barksdale said in November at the MEC’s Hobnob, a ca-

sual gathering of business and political leaders.

The Barksdale Reading Institute is now investing in leadership programs for principals.

“One person can go into a failing school, a principal that’s really a transformative go-getter, and can make a huge difference,” Barksdale said.

He rejects the notion that some children can’t learn because of their background.

“Let’s go find out why one school district does better than another when they’ve got the same demographics. Demographics is a code word for ‘black or white,”’ Barksdale said, adding that the phrase “free and reduced lunch” is “a code word for ‘poor.”’

He said some people expect poor districts to have lower academic performance than more affluent ones.

“But then you say, ‘Wait a minute. Let me show you another district. It’s got the same percentage of children in poverty, or the same percentage of African-American children. And this district does well and that one doesn’t -- and by the way, this one doing poorly might spend more

money per child.”’ Barksdale said. “How’d that happen?

“You see, that one factor refutes all these arguments about that ‘poor, black children can’t learn,”’ Barksdale told the mostly white MEC audience. “Of course they can. Any child can learn. And the sooner we face up to that, the sooner we’ll get on with our business.”

Barksdale is calling on lawmakers to put $12 million into Teach for America, saying it has helped energize schools. He said the $12 million needs to be on top of the money going into the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, a complex funding formula adopted in the late 1990s. MAEP is designed to ensure schools receive enough money to meet midlevel academic standards, but the formula has been shortchanged in recent years.

“There are a lot of people say, ‘Oh, we throw money at education. We don’t get anything for it.’ You ever heard that?” Barksdale said. “We, by the way, give less than any state in the nation, except for three, per child. So let’s not kid ourselves. We’re not throwing any money at anybody.”

Better to be good at pasta than war If patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels (and it is), then telling other people’s jokes is the last refuge of columnists (who are often mistaken for scoundrels, for some reason).

Let me tell you a joke. It’s a terrorist joke that belongs to John Cleese, the British actor and Monty Python comic genius.

It’s called “Alerts to Threats in 2011 Europe.”

“The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from ‘Miffed’ to ‘Peeved.’ Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to ‘Irritated’ or even ‘A Bit Cross.’

(The English have not been ‘A Bit Cross’ since the Blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out.)

“Terrorists have been recategorized from ‘Tiresome’ to ‘A Bloody Nuisance.’

(The last time the British issued a ‘Bloody Nuisance’ warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.)

“The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from ‘Run’ to ‘Hide.’

The only two higher levels in France are ‘Collaborate’

and ‘Surrender.’

(The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed Donald France’s Kaul white flag factory, efOtherWords fectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.)

“Italy has increased the alert level from ‘Shout Loudly and Excitedly’ to ‘Elaborate Military Posturing.’ Two more levels remain: ‘Ineffective Combat Operations’ and ‘Change Sides.’

“The Germans have increased their alert state from ‘Disdainful Arrogance’ to ‘Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.’

They also have two higher levels: ‘Invade a Neighbor’ and ‘Lose.’

“The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.

These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.”

I know, I know. It’s humor that relies on national stereotyping and you

shouldn’t do it. It’s like Polish jokes. (Poles, by the way, tell Bulgarian jokes.)

But that’s why ethnic jokes are funny, at least to the less sensitive. They allow one to feel superior to other people without having to actually do anything that’s superior.

If you make a joke about French cowardice, it makes you look brave. Are the Germans warlike? Sure, to peaceful people like us.

All nonsense, of course.

The French are no more cowardly (or brave) than anyone else. Their quick surrender to the Germans in 1940 can be attributed to the fact that only 25 years before they’d fed an entire generation of their young men into German machine guns and cannon.

They weren’t cowardly, they were exhausted. (And their reluctance to take part in our invasion of Iraq can be written off to good judgment, rather than lack of courage.)

Germans, on the other hand, while they earned their reputation as bellicose bullies, have pretty much outgrown it. They are now one of the most peaceful nations in Europe and one of the more cautious about

signing up for a fight.

The Italian reputation as ineffective warriors has a basis in fact also, I suppose, but their real problem is that they are terrible at picking allies. Do you really want to get enthusiastic about a war when Hitler is the guy running the show?

Italians are wonderful people — warm, welcoming, and possessing of a great ability to enjoy life.

If that makes them indifferent soldiers, I say more power to them.

There are a lot of people in the world who are good at war. Being good at pasta is better.

I once made up WhiteAnglo-Saxon-Protestant jokes as a counter-attack against Polish jokes. (I am Polish, kind of.) I’ve forgotten all of them except one: “At a White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant’s funeral, how do you accommodate all the friends who want to be pallbearers?

“You take two handles off the casket.”

Local Briefs Associated Press

Flu case reported in Tate County JACKSON — Mississippi Department of Health officials said Monday that the state’s first reported case of flu has been confirmed in Tate County.

State Health Officer Dr. Mary Currier said the report should serve as a reminder that it is time to get flu shots.

“The flu shot takes one to two weeks to produce immunity, and although flu season usually peaks in January through March, it sometimes reaches high levels as early as December,” Currier said in a news release.

Children 6 months through 18 years can receive flu vaccinations for $10 through the Health Department’s Vaccines for Children program.

Seasonal flu vaccinations for adults are $25 at county health departments. High-dosage vaccinations for those 65 and older are available for $50.

Flu activity is monitored through the Influenza-like Illness Sentinel Surveillance System, made up of health care providers in Mississippi report the percentage of patients with flulike symptoms to a statewide database, according to the news release.

State health officials use this information to determine the spread of influenza in Mississippi.

Health care providers also submit samples for

testing to the state lab.

Basic infection control measures can help reduce the spread of flu, Currier said in the news release. She said measures include covering your mouth when coughing and sneezing, staying at home when you or your children are sick and washing your hands frequently.

Miss. unemployment rate still rising VICKSBURG — Mississippi’s unemployment rate has drifted upward during 2011, hovering at 10.6 percent in October.

That’s tied with Michigan for the third highest nationwide, behind No. 1 Nevada and No. 2 California.

The state is adding jobs, but growth hasn’t kept up with the expanding number of job seekers.

Almost as many Mississippians had a job in October as in January 2008, the pre-recession peak.

But 4.5 percent more people were seeking jobs in October.

Economist Marianne Hill says people who had stepped to the sidelines may have entered the job market when the economy began to improve.

Hill says one disadvantage for Mississippi is that it depends more heavily than the nation on manufacturing and government jobs. Those two sectors have shed jobs this past year in the state.

High court won’t hear appeal JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court says it made a mistake in June when it agreed to hear a Brookhaven woman’s appeal of her guilty plea to manslaughter in Lincoln County in 2008.

The court announced its latest decision in the case in a 5-3 ruling Thursday.

The state Court of Appeals upheld Lawanda Dillon’s conviction last year.

Dillon has claimed in a post-conviction petition that her attorney should have done a better job.

She argues she has found new evidence or a possible constitutional issue that could persuade a court to order a new trial.

Dillon was charged in the 2006 death of her boyfriend, 32-year-old Boris E. Jackson. Authorities said he was run over while walking on a Brookhaven street.

Dillon pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years in prison with six years suspended.

The court’s majority did not give any details of its decision.

However, Presiding Justice Jess Dickinson, in a dissent, said in dismissing Dillon’s petition the majority of the court was ignoring the trial judge’s actions regarding her mental incompetency claim. He said the Court of Appeals also ignored Dillon’s claim.

Barbour backs plan to tax online purchases

BY JEFF AMY The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is now backing a congressional proposal to allow states to directly collect sales taxes from Internet and catalog merchants.

Barbour expressed support in a letter last week to Republican Sens. Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.

He said that he backed a tax exemption for Internet retailers at their birth, but they have now matured, and technology is now available for them to collect sales taxes.

“Today, e-commerce has grown, and there is simply no longer a compelling reason for government to continue giving online retailers special treatment over small businesses who reside on the Main Streets across Mississippi and the country,” Barbour wrote. “The time to level the playing field is now, as there are no effective barriers to complying with the states’ sales tax laws.”

The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that Mississippi and its local governments will lose more than $300 million in 2012 because such retailers do not collect the state’s 7 percent sales tax. Consum-

ers are supposed to pay use taxes on their state income tax returns — but few do.

Mississippi and its local governments collected $2.64 billion in sales taxes in the budget year ended June 30, meaning that if the estimates are right, they could boost sales tax collections around 10 percent.

Nationwide, Denverbased NCSL estimates that state and local governments will miss out on $23.3 billion in 2012.

Crowell Armstrong, president of Retail Association of Mississippi, noted that the tax is due under current law, saying the effort doesn’t amount to a tax increase.

“It’s not a tax, it’s a tax collection problem,” Armstrong said. “The simple way to solve that is for these Internet companies to collect that tax and send it to Mississippi.”

A 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled businesses with no physical location in a state didn’t

have to collect sales taxes because there are thousands of taxing jurisdictions with different rates and different definitions of what is taxable.

Advocates of tax collection, though, say computer technology has improved greatly since then, and it’s less of a barrier to keep track of various sales tax rates. Also, as part of the legislation, states would have to simplify their sales tax collection systems and offer software and services to sellers to aid compliance. The bill would exempt businesses with sales of less than $500,000 a year through the Internet or catalogs.

Cuts to first-class mail to slow delivery in 2012

BY HOPE YEN Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service said Monday it is seeking to move quickly to close 252 mail processing centers and slow firstclass delivery next spring, citing steadily declining mail volume.

The cuts are part of $3 billion in reductions aimed at helping the agency avert bankruptcy next year. It would virtually eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day, a change in first-class delivery standards that have been in place since 1971.

The plant closures are expected to result in the elimination of roughly 28,000 jobs nationwide.

At a news briefing, postal vice president David Williams stressed the move was necessary to cut costs as more people turn to the Internet for email communications and bill payment. After reaching a peak of 98 million in 2006, first-class mail volume is now at 78 million.

It is projected to drop by roughly half by 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we writing off first class mail? No,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customers are making their choices, and what we are doing is responding to the current market conditions and placing the postal service on a path to allow us to re-

spond to future changes.â&#x20AC;?

The cuts, now being finalized, would close 252 out of 461 mail processing centers across the country starting next April. Because the consolidations typically would lengthen the distance mail travels from post office to processing center, the agency also would lower delivery standards.

Currently, first-class mail is supposed to be delivered to homes and businesses within the continental U.S. in one day to three days. That will lengthen to two days to three days, meaning mailers no longer could expect next-day delivery in surrounding communities. Periodicals could take between two days and nine days.

Williams said in certain narrow situations firstclass mail might be delivered the next day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if, for example, newspapers, magazines or other bulk mailers are able to meet new tighter deadlines and drop off shipments directly at the processing centers that remain open.

But in the vast majority of cases, everyday users of first-class mail will see delays of one or two days, including those who pay bills by check, send birthday cards, write letters, or receive prescription drugs or Netflix DVDs by mail.

After five years in the

red, the post office faces imminent default this month on a $5.5 billion annual payment to the Treasury for retiree health benefits. It is projected to have a record loss of $14.1 billion next year. The Postal Service has said the agency must make cuts of $20 billion by 2015 to be profitable.

It already has announced a 1-cent increase in first-class mail to 45 cents beginning Jan. 22.

Separate bills that have passed House and Senate committees would give the Postal Service more authority and liquidity to stave off immediate bankruptcy. But prospects are somewhat dim for final congressional action on those bills anytime soon, especially if the measures are seen in an election year as promoting layoffs and cuts to neighborhood post offices.

On Monday, the Postal Service said it welcomed congressional changes that would give it more authority to reduce delivery to five days a week, raise stamp prices and reduce health care and other labor costs. But the Postal Service said it was opposed to provisions in both the House and Senate measures that would require additional layers of review before it could close post offices and processing centers.

Feds to allow use of Medicare data to rate doctors Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Picking a specialist for a delicate medical procedure like a heart bypass could soon get easier.

The government announced Monday that Medicare will finally allow its extensive claims database to be used by employers, insurance companies and consumer groups to produce report

cards on local doctors and hospitals.

By analyzing masses of billing records, experts can glean such critical information as how often a doctor has performed a particular procedure and get a general sense of problems such as preventable complications.

Compiled in an easily understood format and released to the public, medical report cards could become a power-

Michael Hasenstab

Bill Gross

David Herro

Fixed Income Manager of the Year, 2010

Fixed Income Manager of the Decade (2000-09)

International Stock Manager of the Decade (2000-09)

Hastenstab’s Templeton Global Bond fund (TPINX) has lost 2.4 percent this year. The fund has lagged because of its investments in the currencies of South Korea and Australia, which have fallen against the U.S. dollar. Hasenstab also structured the fund’s portfolio on expectations that interest rates would rise.

But they have fallen instead.

The manager of the world’s largest fund, the $244 billion Pimco Total Return fund (PTTAX), recently sent shareholders a “Mea Culpa” letter. The fund has had a 2 percent gain this year and trailed 91 percent of its peers. It’s Gross’ worst performance in more than 12 years. He sold the fund’s portfolio of Treasury bonds by early in 2011. Treasurys then rose.

Herro’s Oakmark International Fund (OAKIX) is down nearly 13 percent this year. That’s in the bottom 25 percent of its category, uncharacteristic for a fund that finished in the top 2 percent the previous two years. Four of the fund’s top holdings as of Sept.

30 were financial stocks. Each is down more than 30 percent this year.

Berkowitz’s Fairholme Fund (FAIRX) is down 29 percent this year. The S&P 500 has a 1 percent total return. Fairholme can be volatile because it owns just 19 stocks. And about three-quarters of the fund’s $8 billion in assets was recently invested in financial services stocks.

A look at some of the struggling stars:

Domestic Stock Fund Manager of the Year, 2009; Stock Fund Manager of the Decade (2000-09)

$18.87

Operating EPS

Some of the biggest stars in the mutual fund industry are in a slump.

Among them are recent winners of Morningstar’s awards for fund manager of the year or the decade. Wrong bets on Treasurys and financial stocks are partly to blame for the poor performance. One fund did poorly because it invests in a small number of stocks.

Post-Thanksgiving shopping

A big vote in Greece

Look for two weekly readings on retail sales, the Johnson Redbook index and the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs Index. Both will give a sense of how holiday shopping fared after the big rush of the Thanksgiving weekend. Shopping has tended to trail off after Black Friday in recent years. The reports will show if consumers are following that pattern and waiting for the last 10 days to do most of their buying.

The Greek Parliament is scheduled to vote on the country’s 2012 austerity budget after five days of debate. The budget is a critical step for Greece to continue receiving bailout money from the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Greek citizens have protested the budget, but the country hasn’t had the violent demonstrations that sent stocks falling around the world in recent months.

BY JAMES MCQUAID MURPHY jmurphy@dailycorinthian.com

Looking back on 36 years of marriage, Woody and Cynthia Harrell have been talking about a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail (AT) since forever ago, plus a day.

Now the day swiftly approaches, a departure date set for 2012.

“I’ve been saying for years that we would do this (hike the AT) once we retire,” said Woody, the current National Park Service superintendent of Shiloh National Military Park and its Corinth unit, the Civil War Interpretive Center.

“So I’ve been avoiding retirement, because I was afraid my friends would hold me to it.

But we aren’t spring chickens anymore, so it’s now or never.”

Next year the Harrells will embark on a 2,180+1 mile trek that hard-core nature enthusiasts rank among the Triple Crown of North American hikes. What’s more, that last +one mile might literally kill or cripple you.

“The longest hike we’ve every taken is five days,” admitted Woody. “This one will last 180, at roughly two miles an hour, seven hours each day.

That’s approximately fourteen miles a day over six months.”

Their journey will begin at Springer Mountain in Georgia, where the Harrells will follow a series of painted white blazes (i.e. trail markers) from which the term trail-blazing is originally derived.

Their trek will end across 14 states, at Baxter State Park in Maine, where they’ll climb a narrow path called “The Knife’s Edge” to the northern terminus of Mt. Katahdin, elevation 5,268 feet.

“From there we’ll have to decide whether to catch a bus, or a train, or just hike it all the way back home,” chuckled Woody. “It’ll be interesting to see how our views differ from before, once we’re standing on top of Katahdin looking back on what we’ll have discovered about ourselves.”

Woody and Cynthia Harrell, are shown here on a preparatory shakedown hike near the Georgia-North Carolina state line. As part of their conditioning for an Appalachian thru-hike, the Harrells also went to New Hampshire for a 60-mile trek through the Whites - Woody says, “They’ll kick your butt!” - plus two other stretches of AT from Interstate 40 to Hot Springs and Nantahala Gorge to Dahlonega.

Cynthia echoed his sentiments. As former executive director of Crow’s Neck Education Center, she shares his enthusiasm for the great outdoors. Their careers have uniquely mirrored one another.

“I think it will be interesting to see how we view life once we’re finished,” she smiled.

“After carrying only 30 pounds of belongings, wearing the same clothes day in and day out for six months straight, hungry and cold a great deal of the time... yeah, I think we’ll question whether all that we have, the big house and all that, whether all that’s really necessary. I expect we’ll find there’s a lot we can do without.”

Perhaps that is the prime motivation for the thousands of people each year who attempt a similar thru-hike.

While only 25 percent actually complete it, and of those only 10 percent are couples, it’s a chance for the Harrells to lose themselves in the wild and ultimately be redefined by what AT thru-hikers call, “The Green Tunnel.” What is it?

The Green Tunnel Panoramic views aside, “The Green Tunnel” is an AT-specific catch-phrase describing the slow and repetitive crawl of winding your way beneath dense canopy, with nothing but your thoughts to keep you company, amid rain and wind and temperatures ranging from cold to the high humid heat of summer.

Add to that an average pack weight of 25 to 30 lbs. - carried over the Great Smokies, through the Shenandoahs, on into the White Mountains and over the Presidential Range, where you’ll probably be met

with snow before you finally arrive at Mt. Katahdin - and you’re mildly close to conceiving what the Harrells will endure.

“It will be very routine day after day,” said Woody. “So it’s more a matter of mental perseverance over physical, not so much what you’re doing, but the repetition of it. The drudgery starts to eat at people, and once you hit Harper’s Ferry (the established mid-point) a gun lap syndrome kicks in.

“We’ll just try to remember that every day offers something new that we’ve never seen before, and that it’s all part of the spirit of adventure.

Eventually, the adrenaline should kick back in for the big finish,” he added.

Mississippi introduces Freeze as new head coach

BY DAVID BRANDT The Associated Press

OXFORD — Hugh Freeze choked up less than a minute after being introduced as Mississippi’s new football coach, acknowledging his wife and three daughters sitting on the stage behind him.

“I’ve taken them all around the country to bring them back to one place,” an emotional Freeze said. “And that’s the University of Mississippi.”

Freeze, 42, was named Ole Miss’ 37th football coach on Monday afternoon at a press conference on the university campus. He takes over for Houston Nutt, who was fired following one of the worst seasons in Ole Miss history.

The Rebels finished with a 2-10 record, including a 0-8 mark in the Southeastern Conference.

Freeze could be considered a risky hire considering his relative lack of experience.

When Ole Miss started its

search, names like Rich Rodriguez and Mike Leach were on the market, but the Rebels went with someone who’s coached on the college level for less than a decade.

Freeze, however, has capitalized on that short window of opportunity.

He comes to the Rebels from Arkansas State, where he led the Red Wolves to the 2011 Sun Belt Conference championship and a 10-2 record in his first season as a coach at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. It was Arkansas State’s first 10-win season since 1986.

Freeze will not coach Arkansas State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl game Jan. 8 against Northern Illinois in Alabama.

Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones said Freeze has a fouryear contract that pays a base salary of about $1.5 million per season. Jones said incentives could raise that salary to as much as $2.5 million per

year. The Rebels already owe Nutt a $6 million buyout on top of the $2.7 million he was paid last season.

Freeze made just $202,160 last season, according to USA Today, which made him the lowest paid coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Freeze attacked his opening press conference like a Baptist preacher, galvanizing the packed Ford Center with an emotional address peppered with jokes and jabs that included the occasional remark about dominating the state of Mississippi — a not-so-subtle jab at Mississippi State and coach Dan Mullen.

While Nutt never completely seemed to grasp the state’s culture — especially the Egg Bowl rivalry — Freeze jumped into the fray unabashedly. He went to high school less than 45 miles away in Senatobia, Miss.

“This is home to me,” Freeze said. “This is a desti-

nation job.”

He’s known for a highpowered offensive philosophy, that he called a “fundamentally efficient scoring machine” when it’s going well.

Freeze is a Southern Mississippi graduate, but has Ole Miss ties, serving as an assistant under then-Rebels’ coach Ed Orgeron from 2005-’07. During that time, he coached receivers, tight ends and also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. He had a 20-5 record as head coach at NAIA-level Lambuth (Tenn.) in 2008 and ‘09.

After his successful twoyear stint at Lambuth, he joined Arkansas State’s staff as the offensive coordinator in 2010. The Red Wolves broke nine offensive records that season and ranked second in the Sun Belt in total offense, but head coach Steve Roberts was fired after a 4-8 season.

Rematch: LSU vs. Alabama in BCS title game

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Play it again, LSU and Alabama.

The Crimson Tide edged out Oklahoma State in the final round of voting Sunday and will play the top-ranked Tigers in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans.

Undefeated LSU is the only team to beat Alabama this season, and the head BCS official sees a do-over as a perfectly good title game.

“Absolutely, if they’re 1 and 2, and they are in all the polls released today,” executive director Bill Hancock said.

Still, it’s not exactly a game the public was clamoring for — at least outside of Southeastern Conference territory. And it will do nothing to quiet the critics of the Bowl Champion-

ship Series or the calls for a college football playoff.

But like it or not, the system has ensured that the SEC — home to both schools — will run its streak of BCS championships to six in a row.

The Cowboys made a late surge by beating Oklahoma 44-10 on Saturday night, and closed the gap between themselves and Alabama in the polls. But it was not enough to avoid the first title game rematch in the 14-year history of the BCS. The Tigers (13-0) beat the Tide 9-6 in overtime on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa.

“This could be a totally different type of game,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

“There’s so many good players on both sides of the ball for both teams.

“There’s so much opportu-

nity for this game to play out completely different and have a completely different flavor than the first game.”

Alabama (11-1) finished second in both the Harris and coaches’ polls by a wide enough margin to make up for the fact that Oklahoma State was ahead in the computer ratings.

The Cowboys (11-1), champions of the Big 12, will play in the Fiesta Bowl against Stanford from the Pac-12.

“We can’t control it,” Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden said. “But I know we had a heck of a year and we beat really good football teams in this conference and we’re conference champions, so we did everything that we could.”

The other BCS matchups are: ■ Michigan vs. Virginia Tech

in the Sugar Bowl; ■ Clemson vs. West Virginia in the Orange Bowl; ■ Oregon vs. Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.

No BCS busters made it into the big-money games for the first time since the 2005 season, teams such as Boise State, TCU and Houston, which had a chance but lost in the Conference USA championship on Saturday to Southern Mississippi. The Cougars will now play Penn State, which dropped to the Ticket City Bowl in Dallas following the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal that has overshadowed the Nittany Lions’ season.

patient, he never imposes limits’ CONTINUED FROM 8

the language of a former marathoner, having run the Boston at a six-minute pace, Cynthia thinks of him as more the cheerleader.

“He’s very patient,” she noted.

“He never imposes his physical limits or abilities on me, and I’ve never felt like he’s a taskmaster or that he’s pushing me beyond my limits. We support one another, and hopefully we’ll never share a bad day at the same time.”

Asked whether he expects the trip may strain their marriage, Woody just smiled.

“Nah,” he said. “We’ve done this kind of thing enough together in the past, so we pretty much fall into lockstep. So far we’ve never run out of things to talk about or gotten on each others’ nerves, and it will be easier having a partner.

That’s a big reassurance.”

AT ain’t no Everest... or is it?

The Harrells’ apparent nonchalance is born of having tried themselves on rough terrain before, including hikes into the Grand Canyon, trips up to Alaska, and a climb to the base camp of Mt. Everest.

“Someday we may even hike the Continental Divide and the Pacific Crest,” added Woody, referring to the two trails comprising that infamous Triple Crown.

Yet the total elevation gain of an AT thru-hike is equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest a total of 16 times, and though the trail is largely flat and easygoing through its mid-section, the AT is not without its dangers. Katahdin and the Knife’s Edge have claimed 19 lives since 1963 - truly, that last mile might kill you.

Meanwhile, AT thru-hikes have been completed by people as young as six and as old as 81 years of age. So what’s the big deal?

Pack weight being the most technical concern, some hikers cut the tags off their clothing and gear. Extreme, perhaps, but for entertainment the Harrells plan to take with them a deck of miniature cards, and they’ll be dumping the excess grammage of jokers.

“You have to be aware of the conditions, since water sources often dry up in an unseasonably warm summer,” said Woody. “We can only carry so much water and food. Besides that, I just look forward to the challenge of spending that length of time in such a longterm commitment.”

Sounds like marriage itself, no?

Of course, Cynthia shares his dedication to finishing it.

“At first, it was just about not wanting to be away from my husband for so long,” she said. “But once I got into preparation mode, the idea of finishing it became enormously appealing.”

While the Harrells might seem like a couple of jokers themselves they plan to travel under the trail name “The Troverts,” with Woody being Mr. N-Trovert and Cynthia going by Mrs. X-Trovert - one has to envy their tenacity, vision and courage.

If they succeed, they’ll be added to a relatively small registry of 12,368 people who’ve earned the status of “2000-Miler,” a title imparted by the AT Conservancy coalition of volunteers, who donate over 200,000 hours annually to maintaining this multi-state trail for the millions who visit it annually.

2,000 - A pretty large number in itself. That’s two-thirds of the distance from New York to San Francisco.

What else can you call that, other than “One Monster of a Hike?”

BCS: ‘We wanted the opportunity to settle the debate that has gone on all year’ CONTINUED FROM 8

the future, the 2011 season is once more exposing the flaws in the current system.

Oklahoma State and Alabama, two teams with perfectly good arguments to play for a national championship, wound up fighting over one spot, with subjective voters and mysterious computer ratings — the formulas of which are not even publicly known — doing the choosing.

Alabama, with the nation’s No. 1 defense, won out and will play for its second BCS crown in three years.

Oklahoma State, with one of the most potent offenses in the country, gets its first BCS

appearance as a consolation prize.

“We wanted the opportunity to settle the debate that has gone all year about the offense in the Big 12 and the defense in the SEC,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said on ESPN. A rematch between LSU and Alabama in the title game seemed almost a foregone conclusion heading into conference championship weekend.

But with Alabama idle, Oklahoma State made one last, dramatic statement against the Sooners on Saturday night in Stillwater. And the Cowboys had an impressive resume, beating three teams ranked in

the final BCS top 15. Alabama had only one such victory.

So instead of Sunday being a coronation there was drama, and another BCS controversy.

Working in Alabama’s favor was its dominance throughout the season — all its victories have been by at least 16 points — and the fact that no other team has challenged LSU this season the way Heisman Trophy contender Trent Richardson and the Tide did.

The Tide and Tigers played a hardhitting defensive slog billed as the Game of the Century. And it was exciting in the way Notre Dame and

Army’s scoreless tie was exciting in the 1946 version of the Game of the Century.

Immediately the talk of rematch started, pro and con.

Oklahoma State was in position to keep it from happening. The Cowboys were undefeated and second in the BCS standings heading into a Friday

Airlines are thinking small as Americans are getting big DEAR ABBY: This letter is to offer sympathy to “Trish in Louisiana” (Sept.

25), who was seated next to two large passengers on a three-hour flight. It has happened to me.

The airlines control the size and weight of baggage, whether it’s checked or carry-on, and charge when it’s overweight. So why do they turn a blind eye when it comes to passengers who must endure being crowded out of the seats we have paid for? If airlines aren’t willing to screen passengers for size, perhaps they should provide a few rows of larger seats to accommodate them.

Airlines have sacrificed comfort for economy to the point that the seats are simply too small. I’m an average-size woman, but I find the seats are barely large enough. They’re crowded so close together you can’t move your legs, and they don’t actually recline. I agree with your advice to speak up if you find yourself being squeezed.

-- ELLEN IN LAS CRUCES DEAR ELLEN: While

your letter reflects the views of many readers, they all emphatiagree Abigail cally that airlines Van Buren need to do Dear Abby a better job of customer service regarding the seating on passenger planes. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: As America grows larger, airline seats grow smaller. Trish was right to be compassionate. If airlines treat large people (who are also paying customers) like dirt so they can turn a profit by squeezing passengers into every inch of space, they are wrong.

There are ways to be creative and not humiliate anyone. The flight attendant could have moved a child to her seat with Mom across the aisle.

I recommend that flight attendants think along those lines, because having a gate attendant drag people off flights is not the

best way to handle this and should only be a last resort.

We’re all customers, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity. -- MARY IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. DEAR ABBY: The fault lies with airline management. They should specify up front in their ad campaigns that if the passengers’ dimensions exceed certain parameters, they must buy two tickets. -COMFORTABLE ON THE GROUND DEAR ABBY: My heart goes out to all three. I am a plus-size woman and my husband is “normal” size. His field is marketing, and I showed him your letter. He said recent surveys have shown that one-third of people who refuse to fly do so because of the tight seating, and not fear of an accident. Airlines pack people in like sardines to make more money, and it is resented.

I quit flying years ago because of claustrophobia. If I had to fly now, I’d buy a first-class ticket. I wonder why the planes don’t have six or eight seats in the

back of coach that are larger and cost more money, but less than first class.

Something has to be done to make flying safer and more comfortable for everyone. Surely we have the intellectual capacity to solve these problems.

-- NO LONGER A FREQUENT FLIER IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: It’s unfortunate that Trish didn’t stick to her guns and continue with her complaint.

I believe airlines should head these problems off at the gate. They have a box to check the size of carryon luggage; they should also have a passenger seat to check the size of people.

If someone doesn’t fit, then that person must buy an additional ticket for a second seat. -- REFUSES TO BE SQUISHED (Dear Abby is written

Horoscopes

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS If ever there was a time to lose sight of the big picture, it’s now. The big picture can be needlessly daunting. Right now, it’s enough just to trust that there is one. Progress happens one step at a time. The moon will have a grounding influence on our emotions as she enters Taurus. What was overwhelming seems suddenly doable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can rely on other people to do what they said they would do, though you may have to issue friendly reminders. Also, make sure everyone is clear about what the task at hand really is.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). You don’t need to be told what to do or who to be, and you’ll likely reject anyone who tries to guide you in this manner.

But the one who tells you

how to do a job well will get your attention and respect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can help others out and still have fun; you just have to get organized.

When you think it through first, you’ll put things together in a way that will help you get the most enjoyment out of your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though there are moments when you feel uncared for, there are more moments in which you realize you’re being taken care of on all levels. It’s as though some unseen force is putting you in the right place at the right time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll get the opportunity to show people what you can do best. And if you step up and let your talent be seen, more such opportunities will arise in the near future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

The Son of God The word “angel” means “Messenger”, angels are special servants of God, created to do His bidding. They often took on a human appearance (Genesis 18:1-2). They came to announce the good news of the birth of Jesus--good news, a great joy, which shall be to all people – Luke 2:10.

“There is born unto you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord” – Luke 3:11. The angel used three titles to identify the Son of God. The first is “Saviour”.

This is the only time this title is used for Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels. Joseph was told, “You shall call His name, for He will save his people from their sins” – Matthew 1:21. The word “Saviour” is employed many times in other books of the New Testament – John 4:42; I John 4:14.

The second title, the angel used, was “Christ”. The infant whose birth received so much attention was the Messiah, God’s anointed, the one sent to be King over His eternal Kingdom.

Jesus came to be King over God’s Kingdom. People, who look for a future fulfillment of this promise, fail to understand the Kingdom has come. Jesus promised some of His disciples that the Kingdom would be established before they died and the kingdom would come with power – Mark 9:1; Acts 1:68. This event was fulfilled on Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus – Acts 2:1-4. Peter said that Jesus had ascended to heaven to sit on the throne of His Father David and that He was now both Lord and Christ” – Acts 2:30-36. Jesus Christ is reigning today over His Church–the Kingdom–Colossians 1:13. He will reign until the last enemy of mankind, death, has been defeated – I Corinthians 15:24-27.

The third title, used by the angel, was “Lord”. The name is used more that 435 times to refer to Jesus. This name refers to someone who has undisputed possession of a person or a thing. It means master or owner in the most definite sense. When we say “Jesus is Lord”, we are saying He is the absolute Ruler and Controller of our lives. The Church is not a democracy – it is a Kingdom, an absolute monarchy.

Only Jesus makes the rules for God’s Kingdom – James 4:12.

Christ’s coming brought the opportunity for all man to have peace with God – with self and other people – Acts 10:36.

True peace is found by obeying the gospel. Am I at peace with God?

22). There is not always a cure for what ails you, but sometimes the way you deal with a problem is even better than a cure. A system of management may now give you fresh life and vitality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will try to put things in perspective for you, but that probably won’t work. Who are they to tell you how to feel? If it’s important to you, then it’s important, period.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You see an opportunity, and yet this is no easy feat. You won’t be able to simply “let it happen” on this one. If you want it to happen, you’ll have to make it happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people are disturbed by thoughts of the future. Not you. You know it will be better than the present because you keep getting more and

more savvy about how to make it so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s so much you take for granted about your own talents and strengths. You need someone to hold a mirror up to you. Also, glimpsing into another person’s life will make you feel more connected to your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’re farther along in a project than you thought you’d be at this time. With a little more organization and the helping hand of a friend, you can finish this up or at least bring it to a workable end as early as tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life presents itself to you, and you feel the privilege in this. Your breath, your thoughts and fantasies, the filling of your senses -- it’s all a gift that you keep unwrapping.

Improve digital photos with editing techniques

BY MARIAH SMITH MSU Computer Applications and Services

Many software programs and features can help you manage your digital photos with the click of a button.

After photos are downloaded to your computer, decide whether editing is required. Several photo editing software packages are available that can improve pictures by removing red eye, cropping or removing blemishes.

To make basic edits to digital photos, consider starting out with free editing software. Some free programs include Google’s Picasa, Picnik , or Windows Live Photo Gallery for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The primary difference between them is that both Google and Windows Live Photo Gallery allow you to edit photos on your computer, whereas Picnik requires photos be uploaded to their site.

Google owns both Picasa and Picnik. Both Picasa and Windows Live give you the ability to tag photos through their facial recognition software.

Facial recognition software can be quite useful if you routinely take lots of digital photographs or you are scanning in piles of old family photos.

Facial recognition soft-

ware asks you to identify a person or persons in one photograph of your choosing. It then sorts through all the other photos in your collection and tags them with the name of the person you identified. If there are multiple people in the photo, you can tag multiple people. After you have tagged the photos, you can then search the collection for only photos that include that person.

If you scan in old photos, burn the images to a CD-ROM after you have scanned them. You can also use the clone stamp tool available in many software packages to restore the appearance of torn or degraded images.

If you want to do more advanced editing, try GIMP. GIMP, available at http://www.gimp.org, is a free photo-editing software package that has many more features than the previously mentioned packages. It is most similar to the industry standard, Adobe Photoshop.

GIMP is a powerful program and can be somewhat overwhelming to the novice user.

Adobe Photoshop is the premier photo editing software but it is rather expensive, especially for the casual user who simply wants to remove red eye or change a color photo to black and white.

Bachmann, from Waterloo to White House contender

BY ADAM GELLER Associated Press

ON THE ROAD TO ESTHERVILLE, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The cornfields edging twolane Iowa Highway 9 fade to a sunbaked blur as Rep. Michele Bachmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blue-and-white campaign coach rolls on, bound for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;town hallâ&#x20AC;? meeting with voters in the basement of a public library 25 minutes down the road.

Inside the bus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which four years ago was chartered by John McCain and whose odometer now has 460,000 miles to show for it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the candidate folds her feet underneath her on a blue velour bench, answering questions with variations of the sound bites sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeated for months across this critical first-to-vote state.

She pauses just once for a query that seems to catch her by surprise: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest misconception about her? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good question,â&#x20AC;? she says, the brassiness in her voice softening as she looks to a pair of campaign aides.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing people will say to me at these town hall conventions ... theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the media doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the story of who you are.

They make you two-dimensional, a caricature.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bachmann has a point.

The choreographed repetition of modern presidential campaigns can turn the most personable candidate into an endless loop of talking points.

But any close observer of Bachmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political career would be hardpressed to dismiss her as two-dimensional.

At a time when voters accuse politicians of being difficult to pin down on issues, Bachmann proudly draws herself with hard lines and sharp edges. First in Minnesota and later in Washington, Bachmann has alienated some members of her own party nearly as much as Democrats.

On this trip through a conservative corner Bachmann must win to resuscitate her candidacy in Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s January caucus, she has another chance to make her case and offer voters a window into

tight. The family managed by rigorously watching spending and relying on the generosity of relatives, says Bachmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Paul Amble, a Connecticut psychiatrist six years her junior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just remember taking trips down to Iowa where my grandmother lived and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come back with huge Tupperware things full of food,â&#x20AC;? Amble says.

The family attended a Lutheran church. But Bachmann says her life was transformed at 16 by a religious awakening. In a speech this year at Liberty University, Bachmann recalled entering church one night with three friends after mistakenly hearing there was a party inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got up to the front of the church, all of us under the power of the Holy Spirit, were called to our knees and we knelt in front of the altar and we started in prayer and the Holy Spirit convicted me and touched my heart and that of my three friends and one thing that I understood at that moment is that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Jesus,â&#x20AC;? she said.

a political life that, now clouded by time and rhetoric, remains a singular story.

Bachmann calls herself an accidental politician.

But both supporters and critics say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selling her short. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Campaigning across Iowa, Bachmann frequently reminds voters she is a native.

But that does not explain the route she has traveled: from Waterloo, a manufacturing city of 68,000 where she was born 55 years ago in a Democraticvoting family with union roots, to congresswoman from St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exurbs whose personal and political life have been shaped by her embrace of evangelical Christianity and later, a highly combative brand of conservatism.

Bachmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family left Iowa when she was 12 and her father, an engineer, took a job in Minnesota.

Her parents divorced two years later. Bachmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father moved to California. Her mother found work as a store clerk and bank teller, but money was

In college, Bachmann met husband Marcus (in a vision, God told her to marry him, she says). After law school, the Bachmanns returned to Minnesota, eventually settling in Stillwater, whose historic downtown along the St. Croix River is a popular shopping and dining destination. Marcus opened a Christian mental health counseling practice nearby.

Michele Bachmann tells audiences she began working as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax litigation attorney.â&#x20AC;? But the outspoken critic of big government avoids talking about the specifics of her job as an Internal Revenue Service lawyer pursuing people who did not pay their taxes.

The couple sent their five children to a private Christian school. But over the years their colonial became home to 23 foster children who attended public schools. Bachmann says she became dismayed by one girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school math assignment to color a poster.

In 1993, Bachmann joined a group starting

one of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first publicly funded charter schools. But it immediately became the center of controversy, with some parents and teachers complaining founders were trying to incorporate religious teachings.

Bob Beltrame, a member of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parental advisory board, says teachers complained that Bachmann and another school board member were sitting in on classes and questioning them about their methods. He recalls a phone conversation with Bachmann that fall discussing the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember one thing she said. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget it. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know, if you really read the scientific literature youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find that today thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more evidence of creationism than there is the theory of evolution,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Beltrame says.

The controversy peaked that December, when the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO and board members including Bachmann resigned. But her interest in education and policy was far from over.
