lice Department will provide two additional offi cers to fo-cus on a high-crime area.

The Board of Aldermen this week accepted a grant of $78,417 awarded by the the Mississippi Department of Public Safety for the Corinth Hot-Spot Policing project. The city will match the grant with $26,139.

In addition to two pa-trol offi cers who will work the 5.3-square-mile South Corinth area, the funds will provide a low-speed Global Electric Motorcar for patrol, as well as uniforms and gear for the offi cers.

CPD arrest records show

about 50 percent of all arrests during the past year occurred in South Corinth, including 100 percent of all arrests for shooting into a dwelling, 80 percent of all aggravated as-sault arrests and 49 percent of all domestic violence ar-rests.

In its grant application, CPD also said this project will help deter gang activity, which appears to be present in the area.

Use of the electric car is expected to allow offi cers to interact more easily with resi-dents of the area and help to build relationships.

The board also agreed to hold off on demolition of the previously adjudicated property at 1509 Washing-ton Street. The owner told the board he has a potential buyer who may handle the demolition. It was the prop-erty of Viola Paden, who is now deceased.

A peaceful drive home turned deadly for a Corinth business-man Friday night.

Local pharmacist Rick Quinn is in critical condition at Re-gional One Health in Memphis after he apparently lost control of his BMW sedan around 8:15 p.m. on Afton Drive. Quinn’s vehicle left the roadway, hit a tree and overturned into a lake inside the subdivision off High-way 2 in North Corinth.

Fire Chief Lucky Briggs’ Sta-tion 2 fi refi ghters were the fi rst to arrive on the scene.

“The car was almost fully submerged in the frozen wa-ter. They could only see the car trunk lid,” said Briggs. “They got the driver out fairly quick-ly. A fi refi ghter went under the water and pulled the driver out and immediately started CPR.”

Briggs said the initial 911 call reported multiple occupants were inside the vehicle.

“A fi refi ghter happened to have his dive suit with him,” he said. “He suited up and actually went under to make sure no one else was in the vehicle. At the same time, several other fi re-fi ghters were hooking the car to a fi re truck to be pulled out of the water.”

Corinth will remain one of Mississippi’s group of cities promoted to retirees looking to settle in the state.

The city learned on Friday that it has earned recertifi cation with the Hometown Mississippi Retirement City program of the Mississippi Development

Authority. Corinth is one of 16 out of 21 in the program to complete recertifi cation, giving the city certifi ed status through 2020.

The recertifi cation process was designed to revamp the lo-cal programs and increase the benefi ts of being recognized as a “certifi ed retirement city,” ac-cording to MDA.

“Retirees are a big benefi t to our community because they come here with the skills that they learned over a lifetime, and we are able to benefi t from their volunteerism,” said An-drea Rose, community develop-ment director for The Alliance. “I know that in December we had three retiree households that came as a result of this pro-

gram.”Since Corinth has been a part

of the program, about 270 veri-fi able households have come to the area as a result.

In addition to promoting the city to retirees, the local com-mittee for the program brings retirees together through the Senior Connectors group and the annual retiree spring fl ing

event.The program did not recer-

tify fi ve previous retirement cities — Booneville, Colum-bus, Starkville, West Point and Meridian. Along with Corinth, those recertifi ed are Aberdeen, Brandon, Brookhaven, Clinton, Hattiesburg, Laurel, Madison,

Young Corinth native Maty Noyes is living her dream.

The 17-year-old gave up her junior and senior years at Corinth High School for a record deal with one the hot-test labels in the country. She wasn’t forced into the industry like many other child stars. The singer-song writer knew at a young age that music was in her D.N.A.

“Maty came to me when she was 12 and told me she was gonna be a musician,” said her mother, Erica. “It was the weirdest thing.”

Maty’s parents, Tim and Erica Noyes, have always been very supportive of her.

“We bought her a guitar and let her take some guitar les-sons, but she started teaching herself cords,” Erica added. “She was writing songs like crazy — it amazed us. Before

we knew it, she had written more than 100 songs.”

At age 13, she performed in front of an audience for the fi rst time. She didn’t sing cov-ers of hit songs by other artists like many other up and com-ing musicians — everything she sung at K.C. Espresso that

open mic night four years ago was from her heart. Origi-nal songs and music she had written about her life and her dreams fi lled the small down-town eatery.

“I was so nervous I was shak-ing, but it was fun after I start-ed singing,” Maty said.

Later that year, she entered and won a song writers con-test in Nashville. Then, back in Corinth, after piecing together a band she opened for country legend Charlie Daniels at the Crossroads Arena.

Cat of the Week Dexter is this week’s Daily Corinthian Cat of the Week (ID #1016). Dexter is an 8 to 10 pound, 11⁄2 year old male who would make a great addition to the family. Lively and intelligent, he is always looking for a new adventure. You may contact the Corinth Alcorn Animal Shelter at 662-284-5800 with any questions about Dexter or any other pets from the local shelter.

Dog of the Week Cujo is this week’s Daily Corinthian Dog of the Week. Cujo needs a human who is familiar with the Chihuahua breed. Cared for since he was a pup by his now deceased owner, he was surrendered by the family upon her death. Chihua-huas usually attach themselves to one person and are very loyal to their human. Cujo was really confused when he got to the shelter. After leaving his temporary home, he was not so receptive to the volunteers at the shelter, but after a long walk and a good talk, a little monster was created. He now loves being held and going on walks. He walks really well on a lead. Cujo likes most women, but not so much men. He will allow men to walk him. This precious baby needs a home with someone who really wants a loving protective fur baby. Cujo is a perfectly proportioned Chihuahua. He is approximately 8 to 10 inches tall. He weighs about 6 to 8 pounds. He is estimated to be about 6 or 7 years old. Contact the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter on hnow to adopt Cujo or other dogs.

A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached.

So far, $18,279 has been raised, meaning $6,721 still needs to be raised to make the goal. The deadline to give has been extended to Friday, Jan. 16

Recent donations include $25 from Me-linda Grady in honor of Sharing Hearts Vol-unteers; and $50 from Stacie S. Thurner and honor of Ruth Sharp.

Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memo-ry of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published in the Daily Corinthian.

Donations can be brought by the newspa-per office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

frontation with a young black male outside of the home,” said Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance. “Later Murphy was inside the home when he answered a knock at the door. The individual pointed a gun and fired as Mur-phy tried to run.”

Dance said the person of in-terest is a 17 to 19 year old black male.

Prentiss leaders tout economic success

BOONEVILLE — The past year has been a good one for economic development efforts in Prentiss County.

That’s the message Prentiss County Development Associa-tion Executive Director Leon Hays brought Monday to the county board of supervisors as he reviewed 2014 and offered encouragement for the coming year.

Hays noted the latest un-

employment rate figure of 6.6 percent for November is the lowest the county has seen since 2007. He said 200 new jobs were announced during 2014 and he’s hoping for more success in 2015.

He noted PCDA and the coun-ty continue to work together to pursue new opportunities and prepare for growth. Two recent-ly completed projects in the West Prentiss Industrial Park and the Booneville Industrial Park to prepare sites for future development are part of those

continuing efforts.

Gas meter project continues in Booneville

BOONEVILLE — City lead-ers plan to continue to move forward with replacement of natural gas meters to allow au-tomated reading.

Aldermen voted Tuesday to approve the continuation of the project which began several years ago to change out gas meters, starting with the routes the farthest outside the city.

The effort has been described as a cost saving measure be-cause of the long-term savings of not having to drive out to read the meters by hand.

Mayor Derrick Blythe noted under the city’s agreement with the Mississippi Public Service Commission they must spend at least $100,000 of funds generated by the gas system each year on system improve-ments or expansion and this effort would count toward that required spending, along with ongoing expansion efforts.

Associated PressOXFORD — The trial of 14

alleged members of a white su-premacist prison gang in Mis-sissippi has been pushed back again, this time to Aug. 3.

The 14, including two from Alcorn County, are each charged with racketeering tied to violent crimes and drug distribution.

Senior U.S. District Judge Glen Davidson had delayed the trial to April 27 just before Christmas.

In court records fi led Friday, Davidson made the second de-

lay in the trial, scheduled to take place in Oxford.

Federal prosecutors an-nounced indictments in No-vember in Mississippi and Okla-homa. Eleven other people were indicted in Oklahoma.

Those indicted in Mississippi are Perry Wayne Mask, Stephen Neal Hubanks, Frank George Owens Jr., Joseph Brandon Creel, Sonny Todd Maxwell, James Milton Dean, Walter Thomas Burrus, Ricky Wayne Jenkins, David Ladrone Willis, Kathy June Shadburn, Natasha

Baxter Ellis, Ruthie Gail Rut-ledge, Gary Brian Lee and Wil-liam Ellis Overton.

Prosecutors said those indict-ed are believed to be members of Aryan Brotherhood Mississippi, or members or associates of Universal Aryan Brotherhood of Oklahoma — whites-only gangs that use Nazi symbols and have crime operations inside and out-side prisons.

The Mississippi indictment said the gang has carried out killings, assaults, kidnappings, money laundering and distri-

bution of illegal drugs such as methamphetamine.

The document described an organizational structure that includes offi cers inside and out-side prison.

The Oklahoma indictment said fi ve alleged gang members kidnapped and maimed another member who did not supply and distribute drugs. A news release said: “Following a direct order, the defendants held down a UAB member and placed a heat-ed knife on his neck to burn off the UAB patch-tattoo.”

Judge makes second delay in prison gang case

“She started begging us to let her move to Nashville and we resisted for a long time. She was just too young to be on her own,” her mother said. “Finally when she turned 15, we told her if she could keep up her grades, stay out of trouble, go to church, setup her online school and do chores around the house to prove she could live on her own, we would consider letting her move to Nashville when she turned 16. We felt like the longer she stayed in school the more depressed she became be-cause she wasn’t getting to play music and be herself.”

Erica and Tim never thought their daughter would make all the requirements, but she proved them wrong.

“When they fi rst told me, I said I would do whatever it takes,” added Maty. “The day after I turned 16, I got my driv-ers license and moved to Nash-ville. Everyone thought my par-ents were crazy for letting me go out on my own at 16. I’m so glad they did -- I’m so glad they trusted me and believed in me. They fi nally realized that school and going to college just wasn’t for me.”

A family friend offered Maty a place to stay while in Music City, and for awhile, Erica visit-ed her every weekend. Between online high school classes and song writing sessions, she hopped around the music scene hot spots, hoping to fi nd her big break.

“It wasn’t easy at fi rst. I was doing a lot of baby sitting and other odd jobs,” added Maty. “I had to sell my vintage saxo-phone to pay rent. It was so heart breaking to let it go.”

Her parents made a deal with her while in Nashville.

“If her grades started to slip or if she was caught drinking or doing drugs, then she would be moving back home -- we had several people keeping a good

eye on her,” said Erica.It was a low key Wednesday

night party where Maty fi rst meet her future manager, Phoe-nix Stone.

The former Backstreet Boy soon started introducing Maty to the right people, and helped her get signed with well know music exec Jason Flom and his growing division of Republic Music, Lava Records.

“I kinda hand picked Lava. I told my manager Lava was who I had dreamed of signing with because of their reputation,” said Maty. “I had to go to New York City and play in front of the all the Lava executives. It was scary, but they were inter-ested in signing me right after they heard me. I never imaged it would ever be that easy.”

Lava is known for fi nding great artists, developing them and making the biggest records in the business. The label cur-rently has multiple Billboard hits with Lorde, Jessie J and Ariana Grande. They are also credited with discovering and launching the career of Katy Perry.

Since signing with Lava early last year, not much has changed for Maty.

“Instead of spending all my time at home writing, I’m now in the studio writing,” she said. “I have creative control over what I record. If I don’t like it, they don’t make me do it.”

Lava hasn’t forced a major change on the teenager. The la-bel allows her to dress and style herself.

“They like me for me,” she said.

One change was mutual be-tween the artist and the label.

Maty Noyes is now simply — Noyes, pronounced “noise,” not “no-yes.”

“I wanted to drop my fi rst name, because I feel like one word names are more empow-ering,” Matty said with confi -dence. “It’s also really my name -- it’s prefect, because Noyes is like music.”

Maty has certainly raked up the frequent fl yer miles.

“I’m back and fourth between California and Nashville,” she said. “I am constantly working on my new album.”

Scheduled for a spring re-lease, Maty’s new album will feature all new tracks. Her mu-sic style remains untouched. A little rock and a little pop mixed with an organic sound, giving her new EP an Indy and Alter-native feel.

“It’s gonna be something ev-erybody can listen to,” she said. “We have so many new songs I can’t wait for everyone to hear.”

Maty is most excited about her new songs that were co-written by Max Martin, who just fi nished producing iconic Taylor Swift’s new “1989” al-bum.

“It’s pretty neat,” Maty said. “The studio hosts these huge song writing sessions. It’s so cool, because stars are just walking around like normal.”

So how does she cope with seeing famous people every-day?

“It’s really exciting — I see stars everywhere. It’s some-thing I never thought about. I have to keep reminding myself to act normal, because I’m a star, too,” she added.

Not name dropping, Maty shared a few stars in which she has become friends.

“I had lunch with Joe Jonas the other day,” said Maty. “I see Robin Thick, The Weekend and Kendall Jenner all the time.“

She also calls fellow Lava art-ists Lorde and Ro Shon friends.

Of all the celebrities, she hopes to one day meet actor James Franco.

“I think he’s hilarious and wonderful in every way. He makes me laugh,” she admitted. “I just want to hang out with him someday.”

More impressive than her re-cord deal with Lava, may be her publishing deal with Kobalt.

“They publish the songs and markets them through TV, ra-dio, motion pictures and other artists all around the globe. They also provide more pro-tection against people stealing stuff I have written,” Maty ex-plained. “I’ll also get a monthly salary for writing songs -- it’s actually a more stable income.”

Her agency, CAA, also recent-ly landed her a movie audition.

“I can’t really talk about it -- it’s a pretty big movie,” she said.

Due to a somewhat L.A. music industry shutdown in late December, Maty was able to come home for Christmas last month. Back to her small, southern hometown of Corinth, where she would be celebrat-ing her senior year as a Corinth Warrior if things had gone dif-ferently.

“High school just wasn’t my scene. I wouldn’t want to spend my life any other way then get-ting to travel and play and write music,” she said. “I defi nitely miss home and my friends and family, but I’m doing what I love. It’s just the nature of the beast.”

She was able to create a more few memories around the Christmas tree this year with her parents and her older sis-ter, Abby, and younger brother Grant.

“I miss certain things about Corinth, too,” said Maty. “The ease and pace of everything. I miss the little things, too — like Mi Toro’s cheese dip and being able stop in KC’s whenever I want. I always get a slugburger when I come back home -- I’m kinda crazy about food.”

Maty understands with fame, her life will get harder.

“I think I’m busy now, but I know its gonna get 100 times worst,” she said. “I know I need to be around my family every chance I get, because one day it’s gonna be a lot harder to get home.”

After she fi nished up her holiday in the Crossroads, Maty made her trek back to Nash-ville where she’ll begin pack-ing to permanently move to the West coast.

“I’m working on making L.A. my home. I hope to have Mom fl y out sometime in January to look for a place,” said Maty. “California feels like it could be home, because I love the warm weather and being around beaches.”

After her album release, she’ll start touring.

“I want some place to call home and not random hotel rooms,” Maty added. “I’m re-ally looking forward to getting my own place.”

It’s hard for Maty to wrap her head around everything that has happened in such a short time.

“It’s all more than I ever thought it would be. I really didn’t know what to except. It’s just like in the movies -- I walk in and there’s these big screens and expensive equipment ev-erywhere. Stars walking around and people asking if I need any-thing,” she said. “I guess I will eventually get used to it.”

The young star has promised her mother one thing -- she’ll never forget where she came from.

“I’m going to try to stay hum-ble,” Maty added. “I’m thankful to have grown up in Corinth. I think it will help me stay more grounded.”

“I never want to feel like I’m ever better than anyone. The last thing I want to happen is for anyone to treat me any dif-ferently, because I signed a re-cord deal,” she said.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

Lou Cannon has a nice remembrance in RealClear-Politics of Martin Anderson, the economist and adviser to Ronald Reagan who died last week at 78. He touches on all of Anderson’s accom-plishments, from his suc-cessful advocacy in the Nix-on White House to abolish the military draft to his un-earthing, with his wife An-nelise Anderson and Kiron Skinner, the handwritten drafts of Ronald Reagan’s radio speeches, which show the impressive breadth of Reagan’s reading and depth of his thinking.

Let me add one more item to the list: Anderson’s 1964 book “The Federal Bulldozer: A Critical Analy-sis of Urban Renewal 1942-1962.”

When I fi rst met Ander-son at the Hoover Institu-tion, his professional base after he left the Reagan ad-ministration, he was pleased when I mentioned the book and the infl uence it had on

me. I had i m a g i n e d that urban renewal was a good idea; A n d e r s o n demonstrat-ed that it was a terrible one. The theory, promoted by New Dealers

but endorsed by the con-servative Republican Sen. Robert Taft, was that poor housing conditions blighted people’s lives and that the free market would never produce adequate housing. This had some plausibil-ity since very little hous-ing was built in the United States between 1930 and 1945, because of depression and war; and since many New York tenements built around 1900 were notori-ously dismal places.

But as Anderson pointed out, urban renewal admin-istrators were much bet-ter at tearing down often

functional neighborhoods and very bad at building housing to replace it. Ben-efi ts went to politically con-nected insiders; costs were borne by ordinary people — often ordinary black people — with no clout.

In my home city of De-troit, the old black neigh-borhood on Hastings Street (don’t look for it on the map; it has been replaced by the Chrysler Freeway) was torn down circa 1948, but the handsome Mies van der Rohe high-rises and townhouses in what was called Lafayette Park were not opened for occupation until 1961. I remember that because I lived in one of the high-rises from 1969 to 1972.

As I read “The Federal Bulldozer,” I found myself arguing with Anderson – and losing one argument after another. In retro-spect, the uncanny ability of Franklin Roosevelt to ap-point administrators such

as Harry Hopkins and to work with New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who were geniuses at getting things done, gave Ameri-cans confi dence in the ef-fi cacy of big government. Martin Anderson, in his research for “The Federal Bulldozer” showed that their successors lacked this unusual ability. It was a pio-neering book, which came under blistering attacking by boosters of urban re-newal but which remains relevant now a half-century after its publication — the fi rst of Martin Anderson’s many contributions to good public policy.

Martin Anderson: A remembrance

With the new legislative session upon us, our state leaders are listing their pri-orities. None of them has a proposal to improve our business climate and create jobs.

Gov. Phil Bryant comes the closest with a proposal to reduce taxes on middle income families, but that would barely move the nee-dle. Mississippi just took the bottom spot in the na-tion for unemployment. Maybe we should focus on improving Mississippi’s business climate.

It wasn’t always so. In the mid-1990s, Mississippi had one of the lowest un-employment rates in the country – a full two percent better than the national av-erage.

It was about that time, our state began trying to outbid bigger states for mega deals such as Nissan, Toyota and Yokohama. This approach to job growth is not working.

For one thing, Mississippi is foolish to think we can out-bid a state like Texas, with 10 times our population. The statewide tax impact of these company-specifi c tax breaks is 10 times greater in Mississippi than Texas.

Let’s take the recent Yo-kohama deal as an example. As it stands, Yokohama plans to hire 500 employees in West Point this year. Yo-kohama promises to hire up to 2,000 in the future, but often these rosy employ-

ment promises never pan out.

Dividing the $330 million in Yokohama incentives by the 500 jobs comes to $660,000 a job.

Let’s think logically. Where do those 500 jobs come from? If they all come from out-of-state, then it re-ally doesn’t benefi t existing Mississippians at all.

If the jobs come from ex-isting Mississippians, then there is no net increase in jobs. You are just moving jobs out of one pocket into another. The Yokohama jobs are coming from its Tupelo competitor, Cooper Tire.

Only if 100 percent of the Yokohama employees come from the ranks of the exist-ing unemployed, could you even begin to make a case. Unfortunately, most of the chronically unemployed have low skill levels. These are not the people likely to be employed by Yokohama.

In the end, Mississippi loses $330 million in tax revenue and gets nothing in return. This stifl es growth. That money would have gone a long way to fully funding education in Mis-sissippi or improving job training.

Numerous studies have shown states engaging in these mega incentive deals have slower growth rates. Mississippi, per capita, is the second biggest mega deal participant in the na-tion. Now, Mississippi has the highest unemployment rate. Let’s connect the dots.

Our goal should be a fa-vorable business environ-ment for all businessess, not just the handful of mega corporations. That is the key.

How do we do this? For one, get rid of several of the anti-business taxes that hurt job growth. Mississippi has several under-the-radar business taxes.

One of them was the in-ventory tax. This was just a pure add-on tax on busi-ness, plain and simple. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves deserves applause for getting rid of this job killer last year.

Now is the time to kill the Mississippi franchise tax. Despite its name, a fran-chise tax is not a tax on fran-chisees. A franchise tax is a business tax imposed for the privilege of doing busi-ness in a state. Currently, about half the states impose a franchise tax, either in conjunction with, or in lieu of, an income tax. Missis-sippi has both a corporate tax and a franchise tax.

Even worse, the franchise tax hits Mississippi corpo-rations while giving a free ride to out-of-state corpora-tions doing business in Mis-sissippi. If you are incorpo-rated outside Mississippi, you don’t pay it.

The franchise tax is a 2.5 percent tax on the equity of a corporation. If a corpora-tion is worth one million dollars, the franchise tax is $25,000 a year.

Ironically, equity is the accumulated after-tax earn-ings of a company. This is a

second tax added on after the company has already paid a corporate tax.

Companies pay the cor-porate tax one time when they make money, but the franchise tax never ends. Over 40 years, the franchise tax will wipe out all the eq-uity a company earns un-less it eventually dissolves. How’s that for encouraging business to grow in Missis-sippi?

Of course, it is not politi-cally popular to cut taxes on businesses, so even our Re-publican leadership (Reeves excepted) has put improv-ing our business climate on the back burner.

Ironically, huge tax breaks to mega companies seem to pass unanimously in spe-cial sessions with little de-bate. How can this be? We jump to give some Japanese multi-national half a billion in tax breaks while we wipe out our home-grown com-panies in 40 years with the franchise tax. Go fi gure.

It’s politics. A governor can go around the state making speeches about how he brought jobs to Missis-sippi and got a gold shovel from some huge conglom-erate. Meanwhile, we suffer.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get worse than politics. Let’s hope these company hand-outs don’t lead to corrup-tion. To prove adultery in Mississippi, you have to show inclination and op-portunity. Anybody out there think those factors are at work in our government today?

State leaders are listing own priorities

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

— Joshua 1:8

Lord God, I come to thee for help that the small things may not force themselves into my life, and keep me from pursuing the larg-er things which are continually open to me. May I not be blind to what I may have and be, through inspiration and work. Grant that I may not be satisfi ed to remain in that in which I have triumphed, but climb to greater endeavors. Amen.

The U.S Constitution was designed to pre-serve the freedom and rights of all citizens. Our Declaration of Independence states that

all men are created equal and that we have certain God-giv-en rights. With documents like these, how have we arrived at the state of such discord be-tween purported haves and have-nots in our society?

Some will try, of course, to discount any discussion of this topic by talking about the treat-ment of slaves, indentured ser-vants, Native Americans and

others who historically were not treated well. I am willing to acknowledge that the same human frailties that characterized societies throughout the world found their way into America, but it is unfair to demonize a nation and its many constituents based on the short-comings of some of its members.

Those who condemn America for its past seldom talk about the tremendous good and generosity that have been demonstrated by the country that cannot be denied the title of most benign pinnacle nation in the history of the world.

One of the reasons that I fi nd the concept of royalty and celebrity amusing is watching people putting on airs and trying to act like someone special when they are acutely aware that, in fact, they are just like everyone else. In my opinion, either everyone is special, or no one is special. America is supposed to be a place of equality, and whether a person is homeless or a billionaire, he should be treat-ed well and equally.

There is no social class or political class that has the right to lord it over everyone else unless “we the people” confer such power upon them or allow them to confer it upon themselves without resistance.

Obviously, the billionaire can afford to pay for certain things like luxurious homes and cars and the best seats on airplanes and at the theater. There is nothing wrong with that. It should not cause resentment in a society in which anyone is free to work hard and use their God-given talents to excel and increase their own value in the marketplace.

I realize that it is not a politically correct thing to say, but the real problem is not the ex-istence of wealthy people among us. Rather, it is the feeling of helplessness and dependency that has been propagated falsely throughout many facets of our society.

Perhaps it would be wise for our govern-ment to look back at the history of our na-tion and realize that the unprecedented rise of America to pinnacle status occurred be-cause people knew that if they worked hard and were innovative and productive, they and their families would be the benefi ciaries of that labor. I am not saying that taxes should not be paid in a fair manner, but I am saying that the government will never be successful in resolving income disparity and other social problems by taking from the haves and giving to the have-nots.

The great equalizer in America remains education. A good education or the acquisi-tion of technical skills provides tremendous options for everyone, regardless of their birth circumstances. We live in a country where people are free to move without penalty to any state where jobs are available. We need to emphasize the fact that almost any kind of employment confers knowledge and skills that become valuable when trying to move up the economic ladder.

Those who have achieved great fi nancial suc-cess should be encouraged to invest in their fel-low Americans, with the return on investment being the transformation from dependency to proud achiever of the American dream.

Summit brings cops together with youth

JACKSON — Black youths and law enforce-ment agencies came together Saturday for a summit to talk about crime and how to stay safe while interacting with police officers.

The Clarion-Ledger re-ports that the Saving Our Sons Conference, spon-sored by Cade Chapel, is meant to give black males between 12 and 25 years of age a chance to talk with law enforce-ment officers and learn more about topics like staying safe during po-lice stops, knowing their rights, de-escalation strategies, and seeing situations in the light of a police officer’s training and perspective.

Officials say they hope a summit will open a dia-logue and keep events such as recent ones in New York City and Fergu-son, Missouri, from hap-pening in Jackson and Hinds counties.

Rap artist David Ban-ner, Jackson Police Chief Lee Vance, Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis and Mississippi Highway Pa-trol Capt. Ken Brown were to be the facilitators.

The Rev. Reginald Buckley, Cade Chapel’s senior pastor and the event organizer, said he planned for it to be the beginning of several conversations he would open with the community through similar semi-nars.

 KiOR claims state seeks to destroy it

JACKSON — Bankrupt biofuel maker KiOR and

controlling shareholder Vinod Khosla say the state of Mississippi is using legal tactics in an attempt to squeeze mon-ey from the company.

KiOR, based in Pasa-dena, Texas, fired back Thursday at the Missis-sippi Development Au-thority’s December call to convert KiOR’s case from Chapter 11 reorga-nization into Chapter 7 liquidation.

“The motion reflects a continuation of the MDA’s aggressive and scorched-earth litiga-tion in this case, which apparently is intended to extort a recovery from the debtor and the Khosla-related plan sup-port parties,” lawyers wrote in a papers filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

KiOR denies MDA’s claims that it’s manipu-lating its case to ben-efit Khosla, a billionaire venture capitalist who has invested heavily in alternative energy. A new company controlled by Khosla is in line to buy KiOR’s assets, saying it will continue KiOR’s research meant to turn wood chips into a crude oil substitute.

Khosla’s companies, in their own motion, say the case is not overly complicated and that the Khosla entities are not gaining any unfair advan-tage.

“In fact, they stand to lose the most — more than three times as much as the MDA,” Kho-sla’s lawyers wrote.

 Rental ordinance case at high court

JACKSON — The Mis-sissippi Supreme Court

has agreed to review property owner Mike Crook’s challenge to a city of Madison ordi-nance he argues was designed to keep rent-ers out of the Jackson suburb.

Crook was convicted in 2011 of violating the ordinance and fined $600. The state Court of Appeals denied Crook’s appeal in 2014.

City officials say Crook, a former Madi-son County chancery clerk and ex-Ridgeland aldermen, didn’t post a $10,000 bond required under the ordinance de-spite numerous letters and phone calls to him.

A city judge ruled Madi-son’s ordinance was con-stitutionally sound and in compliance with state law. But Crook argued charging landlords a $10,000 bond to rent in a home is a way to keep renters out.

Under the ordinance, passed in 2008, land-lords must post bonds or other adequate sureties to be in compliance with Madison’s safety codes, according to the city at-torney’s office.

Crook lost appeals in Madison County Court and circuit court. A cir-cuit judge upheld Crook’s conviction and fine in 2012.

The city argued it has a right to adopt ordinanc-es dealing with general public health and safety.

The Appeals Court said Madison’s ordinance was not unconstitutional. The court said a city has an interest in regulating property and enacting building codes and zon-ing regulations to prevent the deterioration of prop-erty values.

Zimmerman booked on assault charge

MIAMI — Florida authorities say George Zimmerman, whose acquittal of murdering an unarmed black teen sparked a national de-bate on race and self-defense laws, has been arrested for allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office says the 31-year-old Zimmer-man was arrested for aggravated assault at his home in Lake Mary about 10 p.m. Friday.

Zimmerman was released on a $5,000 bond Saturday after-noon. At a court appear-ance earlier Saturday, he was ordered to avoid contact with the woman, who was not identified.

Judge John Galluzzo gave few details of the incident, but said a wine bottle was involved and that the alleged assault happened at Zimmerman’s home. Prosecutors questioned whether substance abuse treatment was needed, but the judge said that didn’t seem to be a factor.

After the brief hear-ing, Zimmerman’s at-torney, Don West, told the Orlando Sentinel his client was arrested after allegedly throwing a wine bottle ‘in the di-rection of’ his girlfriend several days ago.

“No injuries, no con-tact, nothing that I’m aware of that led up to it. It’s just one of those things that somehow brought us here,” West told reporters.

West didn’t know who called police, but said he didn’t think the al-leged victim placed the call.

 Rocket breaks up in SpaceX launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX sent a supply ship soaring flawlessly toward the International Space Station on Saturday, but the booster rocket ended up in pieces in the Atlantic following a failed attempt to land on a barge.

“Close, but no cigar this time,” the compa-ny’s billionaire founder, Elon Musk, announced via Twitter shortly after the unprecedented touchdown effort.

Despite the high-profile flop in the dark ocean, Musk said he was encouraged. The 14-story booster man-aged, at least, to fly back to the floating platform from an alti-

tude dozens of miles high.

“Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard,” he said in a tweet. “Bodes well for the future tho.”

Musk, who also runs electric car maker Tesla Motors, maintains that recovering and reusing rockets is essential for bringing down launch costs and speeding up operations.

Until Saturday, no one had ever tried anything like this before.

The modified barge — nearly the size of a football field — was po-sitioned a couple hun-dred miles off Florida’s northeastern coast. The uncrewed platform was spared serious damage from the impact, al-though some equipment on deck will need to be replaced, according to Musk. A recovery ship with SpaceX staff was a safe 10 miles away.

SpaceX’s primary mission was deliver-ing more than 5,000 pounds of station sup-plies ordered up by NASA, including hasty replacements for experi-ments and equipment lost in the destruction of another company’s cargo ship last fall, as well as extra grocer-ies. Belated Christmas presents were also on board for the six station astronauts.

 No tickets in Times Square on holiday

NEW YORK — Of all the statistics from the recent New Year’s Eve in Times Square — 1 million revelers, 2,000 pounds of confetti, thousands of police of-ficers, dozens of surveil-lance cameras — there is one number that stands out: zero, as in zero tickets for low-level crimes.

No tickets for hav-ing an open container of alcohol, no tickets for public urination, no tickets for double park-ing, no tickets for furry, costumed characters hassling tourists to take their picture. Add in low-level arrests, and there was just one, for a sub-way-related offense.

And that wasn’t just on New Year’s Eve. That was for the entire week containing the holiday. During the Christmas week, when the neon-lit streets were every bit as jammed, the total for such infractions was 23 — compared to more than 650 summonses per week the previous year, according to police statistics.

Times Square is per-haps the most jarring example of a slowdown

in low-level enforcement across New York City amid tension between rank-and-file police and Mayor Bill de Blasio, whom they accuse of encouraging violence against cops by siding with protesters after the chokehold death of Eric Garner. They were particularly incensed by comments in which the mayor warned his bira-cial son to be wary in dealing with officers.

In the two weeks after two NYPD officers were shot to death in their patrol car Dec. 20 by a fugitive who had ranted online about avenging police killings, low-level arrests citywide dropped 61 percent. Summonses were down more than 90 percent. Arraignment courts have been so slow they have sometimes closed early, and Rikers Is-land’s jails have about 2,000 fewer inmates.

 Pipeline decision back to Obama

WASHINGTON — Congressional Repub-licans and Nebraska’s Supreme Court have shipped the Keystone XL oil pipeline project right back to a reluctant Pres-ident Barack Obama.

Obama is so loath to make the call that delib-erations have entered their sixth year, nearly as long as he has held office.

He has blamed the delays on bureaucratic formalities and parochial issues in Nebraska, even when skeptics claimed that the politics of Obama’s re-election race in 2012 were a more ac-curate explanation.

That campaign is past, the Nebraska is-sue is settled and a bi-partisan bill forcing the pipeline’s approval may soon reach Obama. Those on opposite sides of the debate just want the president to decide.

“It’s time for the State Department and the president to make a decision on the Key-stone XL pipeline — however they decide — because six years is be-yond long enough,” said Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, among the Democrats support-ing the pipeline.

In April, just as the State Department’s review was nearing an end, Obama suspended it. The department has jurisdiction because the pipeline would start in Canada.

The White House cited uncertainty about the pipeline’s route, spurred by a Nebraska court challenge.

CONTINUED FROM 1A

It seems like a positive statement when some-one announces they are going to give something a try.

Isn’t their intention to attain a specifi c goal ad-

mirable? D o e s n ’ t t r y i n g d e m o n -strate a desire to succeed? In reality, trying is a back door to failure.

A f t e r t r y i n g

and failing, the phrase we then hear is, “Well, at least I gave it my best try.” A person taking this approach avoids feel-ing guilty as they might if no attempt was made. Then, after their failed bid, they give up on their objective as being unob-tainable.

Success requires un-wavering determination and commitment. For successful people, fail-ure is not an option. The problem with trying is that it is less than a full and total commitment. Trying is the equivalent of, “let’s see what hap-pens.”

Many things you at-tempt will not initially

work out as planned. Those who give some-thing a try give up at the fi rst obstacle. For them, a setback is a roadblock. Failure is assured only when you give up. Suc-cess rarely occurs at the fi rst attempt. Success requires adjusting as needed, knowledge, and experience.

Rather than giving something a try, commit to doing it. Be willing to do whatever is necessary to reach your objective. This requires time and dedication.

When something doesn’t work as expect-ed, it’s a learning experi-ence, not failure.

Willpower is the force that propels you to your destination. You must turn setbacks into come-backs. When something doesn’t work, make an adjustment and move forward. Learn from experience. Avoid what-ever didn’t work while repeating those things that did.

The road to success is fi lled with naysayers. Critics abound who are eager to inform you as to why you will not, cannot, or should not be success-ful. They will offer an endless barrage of rea-sons for failure.

Failure is assured when you take no for an answer. The reasons for allowing “no” to stop you are varied, but the re-sult is always the same. Seeking acceptance is one motivation. The fear of being rejected com-pels you to take this bad advice.

Concern about ridi-cule is another justifi ca-tion for taking no as an answer. Why risk being laughed at if you should fail? The reasoning is that it’s easier to play it safe rather than going out on a limb.

Fear of criticism is a powerful driving force. We grow up seeking to please others. From a young age we learn the supposed benefi ts of avoiding denunciation.

Now that you know what pitfalls to avoid, here is the strategy uti-lized by successful peo-ple. Start with an under-standing of what it is you really, really want. Your goal must be important to you. It has to be yours rather than imposed on you by someone else. You need to have a burn-ing desire for its achieve-ment.

Next, tell your mind that you will achieve your objective. You will

do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, in or-der to be successful. Vi-sualize what it will feel like once you are where you want to be.

Obstacles, pitfalls, set-backs, disappointments, and problems are a nor-mal part of the process. Don’t be deterred when they are encountered. Ignore the naysayers. They always fi nd you. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do.

Stay on your path, al-ways keeping your objec-tive in mind.

An interesting side note is that as you be-come successful, your detractors will miracu-lously turn into support-ers. Nothing succeeds like success.

Success requires will-power, not try power. There is nothing to be achieved by giving up. Failure is not an option. There is always a way to reach your destination.

Dare to Live Without Limits

Associated PressGREENVILLE — A fed-

eral appeals court has up-held the fi ring of a Green-ville police offi cer who alleged she was dismissed over comments posted on a social networking site.

Former Sgt. Susan Graziosi was fi red in 2012 after posting criticism on Facebook about Police Chief Freddie Cannon’s decision not to send de-partment representatives to the funeral for a Pearl police offi cer killed in the line of duty.

According to the law-suit, the posting to the mayor’s Facebook page read: “Dear Mayor, can we please get a leader that understands that a depart-ment sends offi cers (to) the funeral of an offi cer killed in the line of duty?”

She posted further comments directed at Cannon, writing “we had somethings (sic) then that we no longer have ... LEADERS. If (Cannon) suddenly decided ‘we couldn’t afford the gas’ (how absurd — I would be embarrassed as chief to make that statement) he should have let us know so we could have gone ourselves” and “if you don’t want to lead, can you just get the hell out of the way.”

She fi led a wrongful ter-

mination lawsuit against the city, then-Mayor Chuck Jordan and Can-non.

U.S. District Judge Michael Mills ruled in 2013 Graziosi’s venting on Facebook was not ac-corded First Amendment protection. Mills said Graziosi had a chain of command she could have used to raise her concerns about Cannon’s decision.

A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans on Friday upheld Mills’ ruling.

“We hold that Green-ville’s substantial inter-ests in maintaining disci-pline and close working relationships and pre-venting insubordination within the department outweigh Graziosi’s mini-mal interest in speaking on a matter of public con-cern,” the panel said.

The panel said Grazio-si’s concession that her displeasure with Can-non’s decision prompted her to make the Facebook posts.

That “underscores our characterization of her statements as a rant,” the panel said. “Therefore, the speech at issue here is akin to an internal griev-ance, the content of which is not entitled to First Amendment protection.”

Fired officer loses suit over Facebook remarks

JACKSON — The sec-retary of state’s offi ce and a pair of coastal gov-ernments are challeng-ing a 2012 decision by a Mississippi judge who denied the state’s claim to two parcels of prop-erty on East Beach in Ocean Springs.

The Mississippi Su-preme Court will hear arguments in the case on Feb. 10 in Jackson.

Two families fi led the lawsuit in 2010 to stop Ocean Springs from building a 3,470-foot long sidewalk on the beach. The city had ob-tained a lease from Sec-retary of State Delbert Hosemann.

The families argued they own about 1,000 feet of the property where the proposed side-

walk was to be located. They also argue property south of the road and the seawall was on their deeds and they pay taxes on it.

Attorneys for Hose-mann, Jackson County and the city argue the property is public tide-lands to be used for the benefi t of the public.

The families argue the tidelands boundary is ac-tually at the water’s edge.

In his decision, the judge found the tidelands owned by the state is the current mean high wa-ter line that adjoins the lands owned by families. The judge said as far as he could determine the beach between the sea-wall and the mean high water line was natural-made, not man-made.

The seawall was built along the Mississippi

coast to break the force of the waves from the Gulf of Mexico and to protect the shore from erosion.

The state’s position is that everything seaward of the average high tide line belongs to the state. In cases where there is a seawall and a beach that has had sand added to it below the seawall, the state owns everything from the bottom of the wall.

The judge disagreed.“There is no factual

basis for fi nding that the tidelands of the state ex-tend any further inland than the mean high wa-ter line of the existing shoreline,” the judge wrote.

Hosemann and the others argue the judge misapplied the law. They said if the ruling stands,

a majority of the beach-es in Jackson County could be considered private property.

Attorney Paula S. Yancey, representing

Jackson County, said the property owners want to keep the beaches for themselves with the ex-pectation the city and county would provide upkeep.

Yancey said all parties in the case agreed the county built the beach in 1954. However, she said the judge found the county should use public funds to build the beach, maintain and replenish the beach for the benefi t of the families. She said the families never pro-tested about the county’s care for the beach until Ocean Springs sought to build a walkway.

“In order to expend public funds on the con-struction and mainte-nance of the beach, Jack-son County must have exclusive control of the beach,” Yancey said.

John G. Corlew, a Jackson attorney repre-senting the families, said the families’ deeds and tax receipts support their arguments their proper-

ties extend to the wa-ter’s edge. Corlew said the city and county have an easement that allows them on the property to take care of the beach.

Corlew said the fam-ilies have not refused to allow public usage of their property.

Regardless, Corlew said there was noth-ing inconsistent in the judge’s fi nding that a private property owner does not have to al-low public usage of his property.

“Nor is there any inconsistency with a fi nding that property is private, but is subject to some ... easement or right of usage in anoth-er party,” Corlew said.

Corlew said the judge made no ruling on as to whether the public could or could not use the beach and the waters beyond the beach as argued by the secretary of state and others.

WASHINGTON — Strains of listeria found inside a California apple packing facility match listeria bacteria that have sickened 32 people across the country, including at least three deaths, the Food and Drug Adminis-tration said.

The illnesses and deaths have been linked to consumption of cara-mel apples. Health offi -cials warned consumers in December to avoid all prepackaged caramel ap-ples after the deaths and

illnesses in 11 states were reported.

Last week, California-based Bidart Bros. re-called all shipments of Granny Smith and Gala apples that came from its Shafter, California, pack-ing facility in 2014. The company said the last ap-ples shipped Dec. 2.

The FDA and the Cali-fornia Department of Public Health inspected the facility after learning the company had supplied apples to manufacturers of caramel apple brands that made people sick.

ATLANTA — Forty-nine years after John Lewis and fellow marchers tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, the memories of “Bloody Sunday” are still vivid in his mind. It was one of the defi ning moments of the civil rights era.

“We were beaten, tear gassed, trampled and chased by men on horse-back,” said Lewis, a civil rights activist and long-time Democratic con-gressman from Georgia.

“Many of us accepted the way of non-violence as a way of life, as a way of living. We were willing to be arrested, to be jailed. We accepted the beatings. And we never gave up.”

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Lewis — who is portrayed by the actor Stephan James in the historical drama “Selma” — said the timing of the fi lm’s release was fi tting and appropriate after protests of grand jury decisions not to indict white police offi cers in

the deaths of black men in Ferguson, Missouri; and New York.

“Selma,” the fi lm co-written and directed by Ava DuVernay, is based on the 1965 marches from the Alabama cities of Selma to Montgomery, led by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“It is very powerful. It is very moving. It is real. It is so real,” Lewis said. “It says something about the distance we’ve come in laying down the burden of race.”

The son of sharecrop-

pers, Lewis grew up on a family farm outside Troy, Alabama, and attended segregated public schools. During the civil rights movement, he organized sit-in demonstrations at segregated lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee.

In 1963, he addressed the historic March on Washington — two years before he and hundreds of others marched on “Bloody Sunday.”

On March 7, 1965, Lew-is and others were beaten by state troopers as they began to march to Mont-

gomery.The march is credited

with helping build mo-mentum for passage that year of the landmark Voting Rights Act, which opened polling places to millions of blacks and ended all-white govern-ments in the South.

“We broke down those signs that said, ‘White Waiting,’ ‘Colored Wait-ing,’ ‘White Men,’ ‘Col-ored Men,’ ‘White Wom-en,’ ‘Colored Women.’ We got a Voting Rights Act passed 50 years ago, a Civil Rights Act passed.

But, we still have a dis-tance to go,” said Lewis.

“In many communi-ties today, the question of race is still very real. You can feel it. You can almost taste it. But, you cannot deny the fact that Ameri-ca is a different America. Even in the heart of the Deep South, those signs are gone. And, they will not return. People regis-tered. And, they are vot-ing.”

Lewis was fi rst elected to Congress in 1986. He was re-elected to a 15th term in November.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s extraordinary decision to point fi ngers at North Korea over the hacking of Sony Pictures Enter-tainment Inc. could lead to a courtroom spectacle in the event charges are ultimately fi led against someone without ties to the isolated country, such as a disgruntled employee or an unrelated hacker.

Legal experts say po-tential complications il-lustrate why federal au-thorities rarely announce they’ve solved a case be-fore an arrest.

“Once the government says it has good reason to believe North Korea did it, then that is good reason to believe that the defendant did not do it unless the defendant was an agent of North Korea,” said Jennifer Granick, di-rector of civil liberties at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society.

U.S. offi cials for weeks have been emphatic in blaming North Korea for the hack attack, citing similarities to other tools developed by the country in specifi c lines of com-puter code, encryption algorithms and data dele-tion methods. The Obama administration — reel-ing over persistent public skepticism whether North Korea was to blame — as-serted its certainty again last week, announcing a

new round of sanctions against North Korea that offi cials said will be just the fi rst step of retalia-tion.

FBI Director James Comey told a cybersecuri-ty conference in New York on Wednesday that the hackers “got sloppy” and mistakenly sent messag-es directly that could be traced to Internet address-es used exclusively by the North Korea. Comey said the hackers had sought to use proxy computer serv-ers, a common ploy to dis-guise hackers’ identities and throw investigators off their trail by hiding their true locations.

“It was a mistake by them,” Comey said. “It made it very clear who was doing this.”

Though the FBI has repeatedly maintained that there’s no credible evidence suggesting any-one other than North Ko-rea was responsible, that hasn’t stopped skeptics from challenging the gov-ernment’s conclusion and raising questions about whether hackers or Sony insiders could be the cul-prits instead of — or may-be along with — North Korea. At least one fi rm claims to have identifi ed a group of individuals it says may have attacked the company’s networks.

Comey said only the FBI has the whole picture, but the U.S. government has been hamstrung over its reluctance to disclose

sensitive information that could be persuasive yet might reveal intelli-gence secrets about how the U.S. secretly watches North Korea.

“They don’t have the facts that I have, don’t see what I see,” he said.

Either way, the pub-lic fi nger-pointing was exceptional considering that federal law enforce-ment is ordinarily loath to discuss an ongoing inves-tigation, particularly in cybersecurity cases where it’s notoriously diffi cult to assign blame. It’s even more unusual for a presi-dent to make public accu-sations ahead of an arrest.

In a conversation with reporters just one week before the Obama admin-istration’s statements, the FBI director said inves-tigators had not fi nished sorting through the evi-dence to arrive at a point of certainty about who was responsible.

“The temptation to en-gage in the kind of global politics surrounding this rogue nation is probably just too great to resist,” Harvard Law School pro-fessor Lawrence Lessig said in explaining why the administration might have felt compelled to speak publicly about the investigation. He added, “Finding a way to contin-ue to reinforce the world’s commitment to bring-ing North Korea around to sanity seems a pretty compelling objective —

which might lead them to deviate from standard practice.”

It’s not clear whether any individuals, in North Korea or elsewhere, will ultimately be implicated in the break-in at Sony. Prosecutions of cyber-crime are challenging, es-pecially when they reach overseas. Five Chinese military offi cers were in-dicted months ago on charges of vast corporate cyberespionage, but none has appeared in an Amer-ican courtroom.

In this case, if anyone outside the North Ko-rean government were to wind up accused, lawyers representing a defendant would almost certainly demand access to all non-public evidence pointing to North Korea as poten-tially exculpatory mate-rial.

The government would risk revealing sensitive sources and methods about the North Koreans if it shared such evidence during the discovery pro-cess. If it refused to turn over the material, the gov-ernment would face de-mands from the defense that it dismiss the pros-ecution, Granick said.

If the government were ultimately to blame some-one other than North Korea, a defense lawyer would easily “stand up and say, ‘But that’s not what they said before. They said it was North Korea,’” Lessig said.

Hacking claims could cause bindBY ERIC TUCKER

Associated Press

NEW YORK — A re-bounding economy and big discounts fueled Americans to spend more briskly in stores than ex-

pected during the winter holiday shopping season.

Sales at 1,000 retail chains nationwide rose 4.6 percent to $270.1 bil-lion in November and December, ShopperTrak, a Chicago-based technol-

ogy company, said Thurs-day.

The results beat Shop-perTrak’s forecast for a 3.8 percent increase and mark the strongest growth since 2005 when sales rose 5.2 percent.

The ShopperTrak data offers the fi rst glimpse of holiday spending, al-though it does not include online sales. A fuller pic-ture comes next week when the National Retail Federation releases its holiday results based on government data that in-cludes online sales. The trade group estimates a 4.1 percent increase to $616.9 billion.

But the ShopperTrak data suggests Americans are more encouraged by the improving economy, including a rebounding job market and lower gas prices. Even with the positive economic news, though, stores were con-cerned that shoppers would remain tight fi sted during the holiday shop-ping season, which can account for an average of

20 percent of the indus-try’s annual sales.

Many stores started discounting heavily on holiday merchandise as early as Halloween to help spur spending. They also pulled some deals on the day after Thanksgiv-ing known as Black Fri-day earlier, resulting in the declining importance of a single day within the season. Additionally, ana-lysts say stores cut back on how much merchan-dise they carried to avoid having fi re sales at the end of the season.

The moves seemed to have worked. At least 10 retailers, including Barnes & Noble and J.C. Penney, reported holiday sales this week that beat expectations.

“The reports strongly suggest that the holiday season turned out to be a pretty good one,” said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics LLC, a retail research fi rm. “Con-sumers felt more confi -dent.”

J.C. Penney Co. became the fi rst major retailer to do so on Tuesday when it said revenue at stores open at least a year rose 3.7 percent in November and December. As a result, it now expects the sales metric to be at the upper end of a predicted 2 per-cent to 4 percent increase for the fourth quarter.

Other retailers followed on Thursday, including Barnes & Noble, which has been struggling to compete with Amazon.com. The company said its revenue at stores open at least a year rose 1.7 per-cent during the holiday season as sales of physical books continued to stabi-lize following declines as more customers moved to e-books.

Pier 1 Imports Inc. also reported revenue at stores open at least a year rose 8.2 percent for the fi ve weeks that ended on Jan. 4. It did not have a holi-day sales forecast. “Traffi c to the brand was up nice-ly,” said Alex W. Smith, President and Chief Ex-ecutive Offi cer.

The Daily Corinthian’s family of quality magazines continues

with an all new product coming out on Saturday, Jan. 31. Watch for

Crossroads Magazine — Healthy Living.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t get a rainbow without the rain. An inconvenient expe-rience will prove necessary as the day goes on. Also, some-one will admire how strong and able you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Where there is an expectation, there is an opportunity for dis-appointment. Where there is no expectation, there are no standards. You’ll fi nd that sweet spot and expect to a level that life will satisfy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is no time to stifl e the weird and random impulses, because they are precisely the things on which other people will connect with you. You never know who is falling in love with your quirks.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Self-discovery is a perpetuat-ing process. You know yourself, and then you change, and you have to go through the process of knowing yourself all over again. Keep making the effort. You’re worth it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your environment is as lovely as your feelings about it. When the people you enjoy are near you, it makes everything more beau-tiful, even if it makes it a little messy at the same time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Learning about another person is one of the best things you will learn this week. A slowly devel-oping friendship is happening. This one will be built over years, and there is no reason to rush the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Compromise is a necessary part of relationships, which is why this month is so peculiar. You hardly have to budge an inch, and you’re still adored. If your loved one knew what to expect, the spell would be bro-ken.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Keep after what you want. You may change tactics, but don’t lose your intention. Your stars dose you with all the determina-tion and tenacity you will need

to succeed.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Your romantic history has caused you to be cautious and protective of your heart. A char-ismatic someone will melt your resistance. You might not know what makes your action com-pelling, but someone is hooked.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your love life is a drama, and you’re both the director and the star. Revel in this creation of yours. It’s masterful and some-times comedic, just like you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Keep fi nding new ways to take excellent care of yourself. Your self-esteem will make a difference in how things turn out. Having the confi dence to go for what you want is a big deal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know what makes you feel great, so why not do more of it? A walk in the sunshine, a laugh with a friend, enjoying a simple pleasure -- these are the de-lightful events of the day.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 47-year-old woman with a 12-year-old son. I met a wonderful man I’ll

call “Daryl,” and we have been dat-ing for about three years. We recently became en-gaged and are planning to be married this spring.

I have had one concern for a while, and I prob-

ably should have already ad-dressed it with him. Daryl is very good about including my son, “Kevin,” in almost all of our out-ings, but he never asks Kevin to do any “guy” things with him. Da-ryl has grown sons, so it’s not like he doesn’t know how to do the guy thing. Kevin has never had a father in his life, so he longs for this kind of companionship.

I’m afraid if I bring it up, Daryl may feel compelled to start do-ing it, but I don’t want him to do it only because I said something. I was hoping it was something my fi ance might have wanted to do earlier on in the relation-ship. Should I say something or let it take its course? -- MOM IN ALABAMA

DEAR MOM: Bring it up! Da-ryl isn’t clairvoyant, and he may

not realize how much your son longs for a role model. Explain it to him and see how he re-sponds. Your fi ance may not have been a hands-on dad with his own sons.

The teen years are an impor-tant time, and Daryl still has time to lay the groundwork for a mentoring relationship if he starts showing an interest now. If he waits too long, Kevin may conclude that Daryl doesn’t re-ally care about him and thinks he doesn’t measure up in some way, which could affect his self-esteem for years to come.

DEAR ABBY: I am 40, mar-ried and busy. I work a full-time job and go to school part-time. My schedule is fi lled with just my normal activities. I have a busy social life and many fam-ily members, so every weekend my husband and I are invited to something.

I enjoy these gatherings, but sometimes I just want a week-end to myself to do what I want to do -- go to the beach, a park, take care of something that needs to be done around the house, or just sit and watch TV or go to a movie.

I fi nd it hard to say no to the invitations. How can I politely decline some of them without offending or hurting friends or family members? -- SOCIAL ENOUGH IN THE SOUTH

DEAR SOCIAL ENOUGH:

So you’re a people pleaser. It is not rude or hurtful to refuse invitations by saying, “Thank you for wanting us, but we al-ready have a commitment for that day.” It’s also not rude to tell the person your schedule has been so full that you have been buzzing around like a bee in a fi t and need to just plain rest and catch up on chores. That’s what I recommend you start do-ing without feeling guilty about it, because everyone needs a cer-tain amount of downtime so they don’t make themselves sick.

DEAR ABBY: I was talking to my daughter about what I would want for a birthday present since I have plenty of “stuff” and I am trying to get rid of it. Could I sug-gest that instead of giving me something, she come and take something -- or even two some-things? What do you think? -- ANN IN UPSTATE NEW YORK

DEAR ANN: I think it’s a novel idea for someone who is downsizing, and if you and your daughter have similar taste, she would appreciate it. Start by say-ing, “It’s better to give than to re-ceive ...”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -— Alabama guard Rodney Cooper scored 17 points Saturday and Alabama improved its win streak to six games with a 56-38 win over Tennessee.

Alabama (12-3, 2-0 SEC) held the Vols (9-5, 1-1) without a fi eld for more than 14 minutes in the second half to overcome a 6-of-22 performance from the perimeter.

Alabama guard Ricky Tarrant had 14 points and forward Jimmie Taylor added 13.

Josh Richardson had 17 points for Tennessee, which shot 31 percent from the fl oor.

Tennessee trailed by fi ve points at the half, but Richardson scored eight consecutive points for the Vols coming out of the break for a 32-30 lead with 16:50 remaining.

Cooper connected 23 seconds later on a 3-pointer to regain the lead, 33-32. He buried another from the wing with 8:16 to go that put Alabama ahead 41-36.

The Vols went 14:06 without a made fi eld goal in the second half after Derek Reese’s jumper at the 14:44 mark. Ala-bama outscored Tennessee 18-2 dur-ing that span.

Armani Moore snapped that drought with a put-back score with 38 seconds to play.

Alabama owned the lead in the fi rst half, as well — for 15:04, despite 3-for-11 shooting from 3-point range. Alabama entered the contest shooting 29.9 percent from distance.

Taylor was 4 of 4 from the fl oor in the fi rst half and made a baseline dunk with 1 second left before halftime for a 29-24 advantage.

Behind three buckets from Che Curlee, Corinth led Kos-suth 7-0 just over two min-utes into the girls’ champi-onship game of the Alcorn County Basketball Tourna-ment.

Curlee would end the night earning Most Valuable Player honors.

Kossuth wouldn’t surpass seven points as a team until early in the third quarter.

Corinth led 14-2 after one

quarter and 30-4 at intermis-sion in earning its fi rst ever ACT repeat with a 53-32 win over Kossuth in the third of four games Saturday at the Crossroads Arena.

It was Corinth’s fourth title overall since 1950 and third in the last four years. The Lady Warriors (11-5) came in 0-4 against the Lady Aggies in ACT championships

Kossuth, the No. 1 seed, was seeking its 29th title in 53 championship appearanc-es since 1950.

Aundrea Adams led Corinth with a game-high 16 points. She tallied 11 of Corinth’s 23 second-half points and added 13 rebounds while be-ing named to the All-Tourna-ment team.

Teosha Boyd added 14, matching Curlee’s fi rst-half output of nine.

Kossuth was 2-of-20 from the fl oor in the fi rst 16 min-utes in falling behind 30-4 at the break.

Corinth was 6-of-15 from the fl oor in jumping out to a

14-2 lead after one. The Lady Warriors rebounded fi ve of the nine misses and turned three of those into six second-chance points.

The Lady Aggies got their fi rst points at the 4:42 mark on a drive by Jade Barnes. Kossuth (11-6) wouldn’t score again for another 7:31 when Parrish Tice found the range inside.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — There’s no doubt Florida is bet-ter when Eli Carter is healthy.

When he’s making shots, the Gators are a completely differ-ent team.

Carter scored 20 points, his best outing since the second game of the season, and Flor-ida handled Mississippi State 72-47 on Saturday night. Cart-er made 6 of 8 shots, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range, and was perfect from the free throw line. He also had three assists and a turnover.

“He can make the game easy for other guys,” coach Billy Donovan said. “We need that out of him.”

Dorian Finney-Smith added 16 points as the Gators ex-tended their school record for consecutive victories in South-

eastern Conference play to 23. The latest one was never in doubt, with Florida (9-6, 2-0 SEC) opening up a double-digit lead in the fi rst six minutes, go-ing up by more than 20 early in the second half and then coast-ing down the stretch.Florida shot a blistering 62.5 percent in the fi rst half, making 15 of 24 shots.

Mississippi State did little right in the fi rst 20 minutes — until Demetrius Houston’s 65-footer at the buzzer. It was one of the few highlights for the Bulldogs (7-8, 0-2), who have lost eight of their last 10.

“Our guys started to fi gure it out and settle down as the game progressed,” Bulldogs coach Rick Ray said. “Really there was nothing to play for at that point, so the guys played with a better offense, but it was too late. Our guys had to go out

there from the very beginning with some confi dence.”

Mississippi State lost its fi rst two conference games for the fi rst time since 2006 and ex-tended its road-losing streak to 20 games.

Roquez Johnson led the Bulldogs with 11 points off the bench. Fred Thomas and I.J. Ready added 10 apiece.

Finney-Smith was the best player on the fl oor for most of the game, making 7 of 11 shots and adding six rebounds. Cart-er was just as good, a step in the right direction after missing signifi cant time with a mid-foot sprain and then strep throat.

“It’s defi nitely a weight off my shoulders,” he said. “It felt good being out there and help-ing my brothers. I’m just trying to stay healthy, obviously.”

Kasey Hill, who fi nished with nine points and six turnovers

in Florida’s conference opener, had seven points, seven assists, two rebounds and a turnover in this one.

Michael Frazier II, who missed two days of practice this week because of an upper re-spiratory infection, provided a spark off the bench for the sec-ond straight game. He fi nished with six points, four rebounds and three assists.

The Gators played their sec-ond straight game without center Jon Horford, who was suspended earlier in the week for conduct detrimental to the team. Donovan reinstated him Friday, but said he wouldn’t play against the Bulldogs. Hor-ford wasn’t even on the bench.

Walk-on Zach Hodskins re-mains suspended.

Donovan said the suspen-sions, along with Frazier’s

OXFORD, Miss. — Jar-vis Summers is a deliberate, steady veteran point guard who makes plays using angles and a funky mid-range game. Stefan Moody is the explosive newcomer who can shoot over — and sometimes jump over — the opposing defense to

score points.It’s taken Mississippi’s top

two guards a little while to get used to playing with each other.

Now that they have, the Rebels are showing they can be a threat in the Southeast-ern Conference.

Summers scored 20 points and Moody added 16 as Mis-

sissippi beat South Carolina 65-49 on Saturday at Tad Smith Coliseum.

“It’s a process,” Moody said. “You can’t just throw a bunch of different guys together and expect it to mesh automati-cally. It takes a little while and I think we’re starting to fi gure it out.”

The 5-foot-10 Moody scored

all of his points, including three 3-pointers, in the second half to lead the Rebels to the relatively easy victory. Moody is a junior college transfer who leads the team with nearly 15 points per game.

Sebastian Saiz added 10 points and fi ve rebounds.

The Corinth Warriors set a standard while extending an-other.

Corinth (14-4) extended its record streak of consecutive Alcorn County Tournament titles to nine while posting the most points in a title game dating back to 1955 with a 96-54 win over Kossuth in the fourth and fi nal game at the Crossroads Arena on Satur-

day.It also capped a 4-for-4

night in titles, as Corinth add-ed the boys’ crown to earlier wins in girls and both junior-varsity contests. Corinth vied for all four crowns in 2012, prevailing in both varsity contests.

Corinth scored 58 points in the middle quarters en route to surpassing the highest total in championship action from another Warrior win -- 88-66

over Biggersville in 1971.The Warriors had three

in double fi gures, paced by ACT MVP Kendall Stafford’s game-high 22, which includ-ed three dunks. Trae Bur-cham posted a career-high 21 as all 10 players that saw ac-tion scored.

Antares Gwyn -- who had 17 points, 14 rebounds, fi ve assists and four steals to go along with two dunks -- and Burcham would be named to

the All-Tournament team.“It was a good team win,”

said CHS Head Coach Keith Greene, now 18-1 in Alcorn County Tournament play. “We clicked on offense and played well on defense.

“We were consistent with our pressure and everything fell into place.”

STREAK

CONTINUED FROM 10A

Ole Miss (10-5, 1-1 Southeastern Confer-ence) never trailed, though South Carolina tied the game at 33 early in the second half. The Rebels responded with fi ve straight points and the Gamecocks never se-riously threatened again.

“It’s not a physical thing, it’s a mental thing,” South Carolina coach Frank Martin said. “We tried to kind of dig into our bag, but our enthu-siasm, our discipline has been so bad.”

South Carolina (9-5, 0-2) has lost two straight following a seven-game winning streak. Tyrone Johnson led the Game-cocks with 13 points. The Gamecocks’ two leading scorers — Duane Notice and Sindarius Thornwell — combined to shoot just 6 of 21 from the fi eld and score 18 points.

South Carolina shot just 4 of 20 (20 percent) from 3-point range.

The Rebels led 7-6 with

15:42 remaining in the fi rst half when a power outage delayed the game for 23 minutes. It’s at least the second time in the last three years the aging arena has lost pow-er during a game — one of many reasons the out-dated facility is being re-placed next season with a new arena that’s being built across the street.

Ole Miss led the entire fi rst half, pushing their advantage to 28-16 on a Saiz dunk before the Rebels settled for a 33-27 lead at halftime.

South Carolina made three straight baskets to tie the game early in the second half, but Ole Miss responded with a 17-7 run to jump back into control with a 50-40 ad-vantage.

Summers fi nished just 5 of 14 from the fi eld, but made 2 of 3 from 3-point range and 8 of 9 free throws.

“We had some huge 3s down the stretch that put it away,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said.

OLE MISS

CONTINUED FROM 1OA

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -— Kentucky coach John Calipari repeated the same thing again and again after his top-ranked team remained undefeated with a double-overtime victory against Texas A&M on Sat-urday.

“We’re not a very good team right now,” Calipari said.

But surprisingly, that’s OK with the veteran coach.

“I don’t want us to be great right now anyway,” he said. “We need to be great at the end of February and March ... you win and you learn. It’s winning and learning and that’s all we’re trying to do.”

Tyler Ulis put Kentucky ahead with a 3-pointer deep in double overtime to help hold off Texas A&M for the 70-64 win.

The game was tied at 63 when Ulis hit the shot with 1:26 left for his fi rst points of the game.

Kentucky (15-0, 2-0 SEC) was coming off an overtime win against Mississippi on Tuesday.

“These kids are not ma-chines,” Calipari said.

“They make mistakes. They do dumb things, but I’ve got a good group that has a will to win.”

The Aggies rallied in the fi nal minutes to tie it in regulation. Trey Lyles made two foul shots with six seconds left in the fi rst overtime for Kentucky, and Texas A&M took its time before missing a long 3 at the buzzer.

Down 66-63, Kourtney Roberson made one of two free throws for A&M (9-5, 0-2 SEC) before a turnover by Lyles gave the Aggies the ball back with 26.9 sec-onds left.

Danuel House missed a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left and Dakari Johnson made two free throws for Kentucky. House fi nished with 25 points.

Johnson wasn’t sur-prised that A&M gave them such a fi ght.

“We know that this is ev-ery team’s Super Bowl and everybody is going to give us their best shot,” he said.

Devin Booker led Ken-tucky with 18 points, Aaron Harrison had 12 and An-drew Harrison had nine. Three players fouled out

for Kentucky and one for the Aggies.

Kentucky trailed by as many as 11 in the fi rst half before a big run just before halftime and at the begin-ning of the second half put the Wildcats on top.

The Aggies didn’t score a basket in the fi rst over-time, but made four of six free throws to stay in it. The Wildcats got a bucket from Booker and missed three free throws before Lyles’ tying foul shots.

“I’m crushed that we didn’t win ... but I’m proud of the way we com-peted and gave ourselves a chance to win,” Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said.

House made a pair of free throws to tie it with 18.4 seconds left in regulation. The Wildcats had a chance to win it in regulation, but a long 3-pointer by Aaron Harrison bounced off the rim.

The Aggies used a 5-2 run to cut the lead to 53-51 with 1 1/2 minutes left. They got the ball back and missed three shots on one pos-session before Kentucky grabbed a rebound and An-drew Harrison’s layup on

the other end rolled in and out of the basket before the free throws by House.

Texas A&M scored fi ve straight points, with two la-yups by House, to get with-in 48-46 with fi ve minutes left. But Aaron Harrison sunk a 3 to extend Ken-tucky’s lead to 5.

The Aggies played with-out leading scorer Jalen Jones (12.1 points a game) who missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle.

Booker scored fi ve straight points for the Wildcats before Alex Rob-inson made A&M’s fi rst fi eld goal in 6 1/2 minutes on a layup about a minute later to cut the lead to 39-35.

The Wildcats scored the fi rst four points of the sec-ond half to cap a 12-0 run that started before halftime and take their fi rst lead of the game 29-28.

Texas A&M jumped out to a 9-0 lead as Ken-tucky missed its fi rst seven shots thanks in part to two blocks. The Wildcats fi -nally got on the board on a 3-pointer by Booker with 14:40 left in the fi rst half.

“We are not going to be able to out-talent people,”

Donovan said. “We’ve got to become a really good team. It’s got to be a team that the sum is greater than its parts.”

___WINDED WALKER:

Florida center Chris Walk-er played 22 minutes, his most since the season opener, and Donovan cred-ited him with getting better at fi ghting through fatigue.

Walker fi nished with two points, four rebounds and two blocked shots.

Specializing inDevelopmental-Behavioral Pediatrics

Features1B • Daily Corinthian Sunday, January 11, 2015

The following is adapt-ed from one of my earlier articles which appeared in the Daily Corinthian on October 18, 2011.

For the Civil War com-munity the last four years have consisted of one commemorative event after the other, all observ-ing the 150th anniversary of the war. The big Ses-quicentennial events for Shiloh and Corinth were back in 2012 and aside from the smaller (but still awesome) programs in Farmington, Iuka, Rienzi and Baldwyn there has been little to note here in our corner of Mississippi.

This Tuesday, however, will be the 150th anniver-sary of a very poignant, very personal event for Corinth. It was 150 years ago on Tuesday, Jan. 13 that the Tishomingo Ho-tel burned down. The iconic hotel, the symbol of war-time Corinth, stood at that vital rail crossing for a mere six years.

The site is paved over now and is just a parking lot tucked between the Crossroads Museum and the Tourism offi ce. You walk over it every time you shop at the Green Market. It is where the Corinth Symphony used to give us those wonderful 4th of July concerts.

We know what it looked like thanks to the local photography studios of Armstead & White who produced at least four im-ages of the building. There are also a pair of drawings that appeared in the pages of Frank Leslie’s Illustrat-ed Newspaper and Harp-er’s Weekly. Perhaps the most impressive likeness is artist Keith Rocco’s painting “Decision at the Crossroads” which graces the lobby of the Interpre-tive Center.

The hotel was designed and built by Swiss immi-grant Martin Siegrist who was lured to Corinth in 1857 to build the Corona Female College. (After the war Siegrist built the Corinth Machinery Works which for many years stood adjacent to the old hotel site and was often mistaken for the big brick inn.)

Real estate agents tell us the three key elements that determine a prop-erty’s value are; location, location, location. The Tishomingo Hotel had all three for it was built on the choicest piece of property in town. Nestled into the southeast corner of the soon-to-be-famous railroad junction the new hotel stood at the very heart of the young city.

The largest building in town at the time, the ho-tel was easily identifi ed by the eight chimneys, the two-story wrap-around porch, and the large sign

proudly proclaiming “Tishomingo Hotel.”

As with any building of size there were a num-ber of out-buildings. In a fenced backyard behind the hotel stood four struc-tures, the largest of which was the hotel’s kitchen. Snug up against the back of the hotel, the yellow and white kitchen had two tall chimneys, high enough so the smoke would not in-trude on guests staying on the second story of the ho-tel. As for the other three out-buildings, we don’t know for sure but it is a safe bet one was a spring house for storing vegeta-bles, the second was a big chicken coop, and the last, with its own chimney for winter heat, a privy for the hotel guests.

From the earliest days of the war Corinth was used as a marshalling point and training camp for a growing Confeder-ate army. The hotel was pressed into service as a hospital and it was in this capacity it was used for much of the confl ict. After the Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862, wounded men were placed in ev-ery corner of the hotel as well as every other pub-lic building in town, be it hotel or warehouse, and even in private homes. A yellow fl ag could usually be seen fl uttering from the roof of the hotel, the Civil War equivalent of the Red Cross.

A young nurse from Mo-bile, Miss Kate Cumming, was deeply affected by the gruesome sites within the hotel walls, “Nothing that I have ever heard or read had given me the faint-est idea of the horrors witnessed here. I do not think there are words in our vocabulary expres-sive enough to present to the mind the realities of that sad scene. Certainly none of the glories of war were presented here. Gray haired men, men in the pride of manhood, beardless boys, Federals and all, mutilated in every imaginable way, lying on the fl oor, just as they were taken from the battlefi eld, so close together that it was almost impossible to walk without stepping on them.”

The hotel continued in its role as a hospital dur-ing the Battle of Corinth in October. In one horrifi c scene a Confederate artil-lery shell pierced the brick walls, eviscerating a sol-dier being taken upstairs on a stretcher. Two Union generals, wounded within feet of each other, were brought in for treatment. General Richard Oglesby survived, General Pleas-ant Hackleman did not. During the very height of the battle on October 4th, fi ghting swirled around the hotel which briefl y fell into Confederate hands.

In the months following the battle the hotel was al-lowed to return to its orig-inal function of providing lodging for visitors.

It was also pressed into service as an impromptu school house for the chil-dren of runaway slaves. Eight year-old Maude Morrow of Aberdeen, Ohio came to Corinth with her mother to nurse her ailing father. As a grown woman she later wrote, “From among the children of the refugees I organized and taught a school on the upper ve-randa of the Tishomingo.”

“The pupils were all girls,” she recalled, “some older some younger than myself, and as far as I have ever been able to learn to the contrary, this was the fi rst crude, little contra-band school organized in the great state of Missis-sippi, and humble though I was, I feel very proud of my share in it. Our text-books were the heads of newspapers, and cards with fi gures numbering

the rooms which we tore off the doors. Many trains passed our schoolroom daily and each whistle that pierced the air was a signal to suspend lessons, and teacher and pupils alike would scramble to the front and leaning over the rotten railing would wave and cheer at the blue-coated soldiers being borne onward to victory or defeat, life or death, God alone knew.”

The Union abandoned Corinth in January of 1864 and a few weeks later the Confederates returned and placed the railroad back in operation all the way to the southern terminus in Mobile. The Tishomingo remained in operation as a hotel, at least for a time, for soon it was a hospital once again.

On the last day of 1864 the battered and bloody Army of Tennessee came to Corinth under the com-mand of Lt. General John Bell Hood. They were re-turning south following the tragic defeat at Nash-

ville in mid-December and the New Year found them arriving here in Corinth. The wounded were treated and cared for in the hotel and a mountain of supplies was brought in out of the weather.

When the army left town for Tupelo the hotel was still full of supplies with no available trans-portation to move them. To prevent the supplies from falling into enemy hands the order was given to put the torch to the ho-tel. On January 13, 1865, one hundred and fi fty years ago today, the order was carried out.

A Union patrol from the camp at Eastport ar-rived to see the building fully engulfed. Lieutenant James K. Newton of the 14th Wisconsin Infantry wrote his mother about the fate of the hotel. “We found the Old Tishomingo Hotel in Corinth in fl ames probably set on fi re by the Rebs who left the place on learning of our approach.”

The hotel had weath-ered nearly four years of war and the end of the struggle was only a mere eleven weeks away when the fi re claimed it. The loss is even harder to recon-cile when it’s understood that the Union soldiers had no need for what was inside the Tishomingo. Their well-fed and well-equipped legions were on the eve of their own fi nal campaigns into Alabama and would not return to Corinth until after the peace.

The end of the Tisho-mingo Hotel marked the end of the war for Cross City. Soon her sons who had marched away to war would return and they would fi nd a much changed Corinth. As resi-dent Walter Overton sad-ly observed, “If there is a city within the Union that has felt the breath of war, that city is Corinth.”

The city would heal and move on but the Tishom-ingo Hotel would never be rebuilt.

The south and west sides of the hotel as they appear in the C.A. Miller sketchbook. Note the Artesian well on the right flowing up like a fountain.

The year 1864 had been terrible for the Confeder-acy as their fortunes con-tinued to diminish. The year had been one of de-feats, lost ground and the depletion of an already small fi ghting force.

While 1864 was bad, 1865 promised to be even worse as more soldiers, wearing blue and gray, continued to give their last full measure of devo-tion.

When Ulysses S. Grant was given overall com-mand of the Union army, there was a shift in tac-tics. Richmond was no longer the prize.

For Grant, destroying Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia would bring about an end to the war.

Lee scored victories during Grant’s Overland Campaign of 1864.

The last signifi cant Confederate victory was at Cold Harbor but Grant didn’t retreat after that setback.

Unlike the generals be-fore him, Abraham Lin-coln had fi nally found a general that would fi ght.

Instead of retreat, Grant, with his superior numbers, simply out-fl anked Lee’s position.

This had continued throughout 1864 until

Lee was forced into the trenches at Richmond and Petersburg. Mean-while, William T. Sher-man had secured victory at Atlanta, Ga., and with his March to the Sea, end-ing up in Savannah.

The Army of Tennes-see, the Confederacy’s second largest army, was decimated by John Bell Hood’s ill-advised attacks at Franklin and Nashville, Tenn.

At the start of 1865, only remnants of the Army of Tennessee re-mained.

Many of these soldiers gave up the fi ght and re-turned to what was left of their homes.

Others made their way to the Carolinas to serve under Joseph E. John-ston as he continued to face Sherman.

As the New Year began, Fort Fisher and Wilm-ington, N.C., were high on the Federal priorities. Wilmington was the last surviving Confederate port.

Capturing Fort Fisher would greatly hinder Confederate efforts to supply the dwindling Confederate troops.

As the war began its fourth year, there were also overtures of peace. Francis Preston Blair beseeched Lincoln to al-low him to cross lines to

talk to Jefferson Davis in Richmond.

Blair, a Virginian who owned slaves, helped form the Republican Party and had thrown his support to Lincoln. Blair also knew Davis.

This wasn’t the fi rst time Lincoln trusted Blair’s connections.

Prior to the start of the Civil War, Lincoln en-trusted Blair to offer com-mand of the Union army to Robert E. Lee.

Lee turned down Blair’s offer, telling him “I look upon secession as anar-chy. . . But how can I draw my sword upon Virginia, my native state?” Lee eventually became the

leader of the famed Army of Northern Virginia.

Blair met with Davis, even presenting a pro-posal that the North and South quit fi ghting each other and join forces to oust the French from Mexico.

While this proposal wasn’t agreed to by Lin-coln or Davis, the Con-federate president did send word through Blair that he was ready to enter into conference with his Union counterpart.

Such a conference would take place in Feb-ruary 1865 at what would become known as the Hampton Roads Confer-ence.

Fourth year of war brings more Confederate misfortuneBY TIM ISBELL

The Sun-Herald

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — An acetate recording of the ballad “My Happi-

ness,” the fi rst song Elvis Presley ever recorded, sold at auction Thursday night for $300,000.

An undisclosed Inter-

net buyer placed the win-ning bid at Graceland, the museum and tourist attraction that was Pre-sley’s former home. The

auction was held on what would have been the late singer’s 80th birthday.

The 78 rpm record, with its tattered yellow label, sold for $240,000. But the total buyer’s price includes a premium of 25 percent, or $60,000, that goes to the auction house, Graceland Auc-tions. Bidding for the re-cord started at $50,000.

Other items in the auc-tion included scarves worn by Presley at con-certs, gold necklaces with the initials TCB (short for the slogan “Taking Care of Business”), prescrip-tion sunglasses made for Presley, and his fi rst driv-er’s license.

But the big prize was the “My Happiness” re-cord, which is highly val-ued because of its place in the career of Presley, who died in Memphis on Aug. 16, 1977.

The acetate is in origi-nal condition and the re-cord is playable.

Presley recorded the song in 1953 at Sun Re-cords, the Memphis studio operated by Sam Phillips. Presley, then 18, paid $4 for the recording. As the story goes, Presley — whose family did not have a record player — left Sun and went to the

home of friend Ed Leek to listen to it. But Presley left the record at Leek’s house.

Leek kept the record in a safe for six decades. After he and his wife died, their niece Lorisa Hilburn inherited it. Hil-burn, of Rockledge, Flor-ida, contacted Graceland, and it was offered for auction.

Hilburn said after the auction that she did not expect the record to sell for such a large amount. She has already “splurged” on an iPad, but plans to invest the rest of the $240,000, with some going to pay for college for her two sons.

“I’m very happy,” said Hilburn, who smiled widely after auctioneer Wendell Hanson banged his gavel and said “Sold!”

“There was adrenaline beforehand ... but when it was over, I was numb,” she said. “It was surreal.”

Before he became the “King of Rock n’ Roll,” Presley was a shy young man who had moved to Memphis from Tupelo, Mississippi, with his par-ents. He liked to sing and one day summoned up the courage to walk into Sun Records.

Phillips was not there that day, so Presley was helped by Phillips’ as-sistant, Marion Keisker. Presley sang the ballads “My Happiness,” which was the A-side of the re-cord, and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin,” which became side B. Both are slow-moving and stop short of sug-gesting a singer ready to help open the way for the emergence of rock ‘n’ roll.

After the record was cut, Keisker wrote down Presley’s name and phone number and jot-ted a note that said he was a good ballad singer. In 1954, Presley record-ed the more up-tempo “That’s All Right” at Sun Records. That song be-came Presley’s fi rst hit, and it catapulted him to a successful career that in-cluded hit songs such as “Hound Dog” and “Sus-picious Minds,” and to making popular movies such as “Jailhouse Rock.”

The story about the “My Happiness” record-ing is told to visitors who take the tour of Sun Re-cords, now a museum. Along with Presley, Phil-lips also recorded music legends Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins at Sun.

LOS ANGELES — Ava DuVernay doesn’t like historical dramas — es-pecially those of the civil rights variety. Their con-ventions, their sentimen-tality, their lack of texture or edginess, and their insistence on either hero worship or takedown just aren’t her style.

It’s a wonder she ever considered boarding “Selma” in the fi rst place. Not only is it one of the most important chapters in civil rights history — having led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act — it’s also one that’s still in the living memory of many (including her fa-ther).

Toss in the fact the proj-ect had been in develop-ment for years with a host of different directors, that it’s the fi rst signifi cant portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on fi lm, and that DuVernay had mostly directed small in-dependent features, and the whole feat becomes even more unlikely.

Now, it seems impos-sible to imagine the fi lm with anyone but DuVer-nay behind the camera. With her confi dent di-rection, “Selma,” which opened wide on Friday, gives audiences a layered look at King, the South-ern Christian Leadership Conference and the cam-paign leading up to the historic 54-mile march from Selma to Montgom-ery, Alabama.

On Jan. 15, DuVernay, a former publicist, may also make history by becoming the fi rst African American woman ever to be nomi-nated for a best director Oscar.

And yet she always seems to be defl ecting praise with a self-dep-recating aside or by re-focusing it on one of her collaborators. At the fi rst public screening of “Sel-ma,” after a lengthy stand-ing ovation from the jam-packed theater, DuVernay still took the opportunity to poke fun at her own job qualifi cations, joking that she was “more of a black indie hipster romance kind of gal.”

Ultimately, her friend-ship and trust with the man who would be step-ping into King’s shoes pushed her to the proj-ect. “I was like, well, I’ve got Dr. King and I know he’s amazing. From there, we’re just telling a story about people,” she said of star David Oyelowo.

To portray Dr. King, in addition to a dramatic physical transformation, the U.K.-born Oyelowo would certainly need to lose the British accent.

Sitting together in Bev-erly Hills the morning after the fi rst screening last fall, Oyelowo and DuVernay recounted the time she tried to test him by catching him off guard with a phone call after he landed in Atlanta for the shoot. Oyelowo surprised her and answered in per-fect King-speak.

“You’re going to play Dr. King in Atlanta? I can’t go around talking like this,” said Oyelowo, sounding “very Royal Shakespeare Company,” as DuVernay describes it,

“Acting is confi dence,” the actor continued. “You need to feel like you know what you’re doing. If there are people looking at you going ‘yeah, but I just saw him in the lunch line

sounding very much like a tea-drinking Brit...’”

When DuVernay signed on to the project in July 2013, the fi rst thing she did was go back to the script, tightening and re-focusing Paul Webb’s take on King and the people who surrounded him, in-cluding President Lyndon B. Johnson (Tom Wilkin-son).

“We wanted to give it scale, but also intimacy,” she said. “I think the best positivity is complexity. I wasn’t trying to not show him (King) smoke, or not show that he had some issues with his wife (Car-men Ejogo). You have to show a full, multifaceted point of view in order for it to be real.”

She also wanted to make sure she was repre-senting who was actually there. The initial script made composites out of some fi gures. For Du-Vernay, who majored in African-American studies at UCLA, that was unac-ceptable.

“It’s important to me that that stuff is right. Anything you can make up is not as good as what really happened,” she said. “There’s some cre-ative license we took to get people in the same room or same place together, but overall, I think it will stand up to some fact checking.”

In recent weeks, “Sel-ma” has stirred debate over whether or not its representation of John-son’s involvement in the movement — or lack thereof — is accurate and fair. DuVernay strongly defended her fi lm on Twitter, encouraging au-diences to “interrogate history” for themselves.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Little Jimmy Dickens was remembered on Thursday for his humor and warmth at a funeral on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, where he per-formed regularly for de-cades until shortly before his death at age 94.

Brad Paisley, Car-rie Underwood, Vince Gill and other stars sang songs and told stories about the 4-foot-11 show-man with the amazing 76-year career who had a reputation for making nervous, young newcom-ers feel welcome.

“When you’re young and someone’s kind to

you like that, you never forget it,” Gill said, recall-ing his own early experi-ences with Dickens. Then he asked the group of sev-eral hundred mourners, “Let me have a show of hands — who all thought that Little Jimmy Dickens was your best friend?”

One of Dickens’ friends included gold-medal Olympic fi gure skater Scott Hamilton, who joked that he and Dick-ens hit it off because they were both short and “we both made a living per-forming in lots of beads and spangles.”

Underwood said her mother warned her to watch out for Dickens when she fi rst performed

on the Opry “‘because he likes the pretty girls.’” But she said Dickens al-ways kissed her hand whenever he saw her and “had a little piece of my heart.”

Opry General Manager Pete Fisher spoke of how Dickens always was up for anything, whether it was dressing up like a Leprechaun on St. Pat-rick’s Day or climbing onto a step ladder to get eye level with 6-foot-6 country singer Trace Ad-kins.

Dickens was best known for his novelty songs and his jokes: His biggest hit was “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose,” which

earned him a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1983.

But on Thursday, fans and friends also remem-bered him for his heart-wrenching ballads.

Larry and Vickie Hurst drove from Kansas City, Missouri, and waited out-side the Opry House in single-digit temperatures for nearly an hour before the doors opened.

Interviewed before the funeral about their favor-ite Dickens song, Larry Hurst said, “There are so many, but one that always makes me cry is “Raggedy Ann.”

In that song, listeners learn through a man’s conversation with a doll

of his love for a daugh-ter who died. A Raggedy Ann doll was placed by a fl ower arrangement near Dickens’ coffi n on Thurs-day.

“He could break your heart out with a ballad,” Vickie Hurst added.

Eddie Stubbs, who gave the eulogy, also praised Dickens’ talent as a bal-ladeer and noted that when Dickens fi rst began performing in 1938, there were people listening to him who had been alive during the Civil War.

“His loss is incalculable to country music. It rep-resents the end of an era. Within his lifetime the entire country music in-dustry happened.”

Stubbs and others also spoke of how tough Dick-ens was, growing up poor in West Virginia, some-times struggling in his early years as a performer and suffering from nu-merous health problems.

“The joy of bringing happiness to others sus-tained him in good times and bad,” Stubbs said.

At the closing, Brad Paisley teared up before leading a group of per-formers in singing “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” a tradition that he said Dickens started.

“At 94, your journey has ended,” Paisley said, stopping to choke back tears, “but we’ll take it from here, little buddy.”
