Alcorn County won’t be voting on bond issues for road and bridge improvements. Supervisors canceled district elections after the number of signatures on petitions fell below the number necessary to call for a vote.
A group of historians from across the state will converge on Corinth this week, and a welcome committee of local residents is needed.
The Mississippi Historical Society, originally organized in
the 1800s in Jackson, will hold its annual meeting in Corinth. The three-day event kicks off Thursday with a welcoming reception from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Corinth Coliseum on Taylor Street.
“I want to invite everyone in the community to please come
join us during the reception,” said long time society member and local historian Rosemary Williams. “We want to show off the best part of Corinth — our people.”
Williams said the reception is free to the public and will in-clude a sampling of Corinth’s
favorite food and the musical talents of pianist Ben Tomlin-son.
“This is a great opportunity for us and for Corinth. People will be here from all walks of life from across our state and surrounding states,” said Wil-liams. “The reception actually
happens right after check-in and registration, so this is like their fi rst impression of Corinth and our hospitality.”
Williams said she is expecting more than 100 members, which may include college professors,

Wrapping up a three-day quilting retreat at the Missis-sippi University State Exten-sion Service in Alcorn County, 10 area members of the Cross City Piecemakers Guild gath-ered together to put the fi nal touches on current projects.
“We’ve had a wonderful time,” said Guild President Gail Stables. “This was the fi rst time we’ve done a retreat like this and everyone has really enjoyed it.
“Each day members brought various projects with them to work on and we held demon-strations,” she added. “It’s been a lot of fun spending time to-gether and learning from one another.”
Demonstrations included the fi nishing of the last border on their gorgeous raffl e quilt which will serve as the group’s main fundraiser this year and the making of chemo-caps.
Along with the chemo-caps, the ladies crocheted afghans and shawls to be given to can-
cer patients at Corinth’s West Clinic.
“We also made pillows,” said Stables, as she gestured to a generous pile of items destined for the clinic.
Special oblong pillows were created to bring comfort during chemotherapy treatments.
The quilters also created quilts for the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department.

They proudly display the items they created during their quilting retreat.
A cross-country manhunt led offi cers to Alcorn County this week.
Corinth Police Detective Chief Chuck Hinds said Breon Preston, 24, was arrested at 4 p.m. Friday at his home on Breckenridge Street.
Preston had violated his probation for child molesta-
tion charges in Marion Coun-ty, Indiana.
Hinds said charges are also pending against Preston in Alcorn County for failing to register as a sex offender. Preston had been in the area since November.
Fugitive Apprehension Offi -cer Spence Spencer and offi cer Adam Rencher assisted U.S. Marshal agents with the arrest.

Corinth is taking over the capitol.
Tourism representatives will visit the Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson in a few weeks. The group plans on sharing all things wonderful about Corinth with legislators from across the state.
“We’ll have the entire ro-tunda in the capitol building,” said Christy Burns, Corinth Area Convention & Visitors Bureau director. “We plan to show off Corinth by provid-ing information and other goodies that will hopefully make folks want to come visit Corinth.”
Staff members from The Al-liance, Main Street Corinth, Keep Corinth Beautiful, Mag-
nolia Regional Health Center, Corinth-Alcorn County Air-port, Corinth School District and Alcorn School District will assist the tourism offi ce during the special Corinth Capitol Day set for March 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“We will also be inviting ev-eryone from other tourism re-lated groups in town,” Burns added.
Corinth has not participat-ed in a Capitol Day in about 10 years.
“It’s going to be a great op-portunity for us and for the city,” said Burns. “We’ll be serving slugburgers and hot tamales, and providing each legislator with a special swag bag full of cool Corinth stuff.”

WHEELER GROVE — Bailey Smith took a chance when he brought his Real Evangelism Conference to Wheeler Grove Baptist Church.
The church hasn’t disap-pointed.
“At the beginning we didn’t know what to expect,” said Wheeler Grove pastor Dr. Kara Blackard, who met Smith in Starkville years ago to discuss the possibly of bringing the
c o n f e r e n c e to the area. “We believed we would do well if given the opportu-nity and we have.”
Countless lives have been changed through the preaching of God’s Word, sing-ing and fellowship, according to Blackard.
“The con-ference has been a real blessing,” he said. “The Lord has met the need each year.”
The annual event — set for March 18-20 — will be
last conference done by Smith not only at Wheeler Grove but also at Indian Trail Baptist
Church in North Carolina.“After 10 years, we feel like
it’s time to move onto some-thing else,” said Dr. Blackard. “The conference has been won-derfully supported by people across the country and we all hate to see it end, but maybe the Lord will open the door to something else.”
The Wheeler Grove event was a successful one over the years with thousands of people at-tending over the three days.
“Bailey often said the one at
Wheeler Grove was his premier conference,” said Blackard.
Wheeler Grove plans to end the conference with a bang. Nationally known speakers Dr. David Jeremiah and Col. Oliver North will headline the fi nal two nights.
“This is going to be the grand fi nale and we are putting all of our eggs in one basket,” said Blackard. “I think this will be the best conference we have

ever done.”The fi rst night of the
event will see musical groups performing. The night gets started at 6:30 p.m. with the Wheeler Grove Choir and Mike Speck Trio performing. The Collingsworth Fam-ily will be in full concert later during the night.
“The Collingsworth Family starting things off on the fi rst night is going to be a highlight of the whole week,” said Black-ard.
On Thursday March 19, Dr. Blackard and evange-lism founder Smith will be leading a 10 a.m. ses-sion.
Following a noon lunch break — provided at no cost for all who attend — Gerald Harris and Steve
Hale step behind the pul-pit at 1:45 p.m.
Dr. Jeremiah follows Junior Hill at 6:30 p.m. after a dinner break at 5 p.m.
“There will be no charge for anything un-less someone wants to buy a CD or DVD,” said Blackard.
Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in California, has been in the ministry since 1969.
On Friday, Mike Stone and Paul Blair will be speaking in the 10 a.m. session.
Josh Smith, Steve Smith and Bob Pittman are each slated for the 1:45 p.m. time.
Paige Patterson and
North conclude the con-ference at 6:30 p.m.
North – a combat deco-rated U.S. Marine – is a #1 best-selling author, syndicated columnist and the host of “War Stories” on Fox News Channel.
The Mike Speck Trio along with Mae Beth and Eddie Middleton will provide music on the fi -nal night.
A noon and 5 p.m. meal will also be included on Friday at no cost.
“The conference is not only spiritually good, but it is good for the town,” said Blackard. “People from across the country come to the conference and the motels are en-tirely booked up.”
There is no cost to at-tend any of the services.
“I don’t know how you can beat the three nights we have lined up,” said Blackard. “We want people to come and if they do, they will get a blessing.”
Wheeler Grove Bap-tist Church is located just over three miles off of U.S. Highway 45 South. Those wanting to attend the conference should turn right onto County Road 512 for 3.2 miles then turn right onto CR 519.

told us they were in need of some more quilts,” said the guild president. “We usually give them about a dozen and they keep them in the trunk of their cars to wrap people in when an emergency strikes. Community members are good about donating scrap pieces and other materials to us to help.”
Past projects have in-cluded the creation of items for the Oasis Medi-cal Center and Pine Vale Children’s Home.
“We recently made pil-low cases for the youth at Pine Vale,” said Stables. “I will never forget how this one little boy imme-diately took his pillow-case to his bed and put it on his pillow. It’s a good feeling to know that the things you’ve made will
be of benefi t to those who have so little.”
Boasting a current membership of 21, the guild holds a monthly meeting at the exten-sion service where after a short program, they re-view their quilt book and show quilting gadgets.

History
Today is Sunday, March 1, the 60th day of 2015. There are 305 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlightin History:
On March 1, 1565, the city of Rio de Janeiro was founded by Portuguese knight Estacio de Sa.
On this date:
In 1790, President George Washington signed a measure au-thorizing the first U.S. Census.
In 1815, Napoleon, having escaped exile in Elba, arrived in Cannes, France, and headed for Paris to begin his “Hun-dred Days” rule.
In 1890, J.P. Lippincott published the first U.S. edition of the Sherlock Holmes mystery “A Study in Scarlet” by Arthur Conan Doyle.
In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lind-bergh, was kidnapped from the family home near Hopewell, New Jer-sey. (Remains identified as those of the child were found the following May.)
In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, back from the Yalta Con-ference, proclaimed the meeting a success as he addressed a joint ses-sion of Congress.
In 1954, four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the spectators’ gallery of the U.S. House of Represen-tatives, wounding five members of Congress. The United States deto-nated a dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, codenamed Cas-tle Bravo, at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order estab-lishing the Peace Corps.
In 1971, a bomb went off inside a men’s room at the U.S. Capitol; the radical group Weather Underground claimed re-sponsibility.
In 1981, Irish Republi-can Army member Bobby Sands began a hunger strike at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland; he died 65 days later.
In 1995, the Internet search engine website Yahoo! was incorporated by founders Jerry Yang and David Filo.
Ten years ago:
Dennis Rader, the churchgoing family man accused of leading a double life as the BTK serial killer, was charged in Wichita, Kansas, with 10 counts of first-degree murder. (Rader later pleaded guilty and re-ceived multiple life sen-tences.) A closely divided Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty for ju-venile criminals.
Dear reader,We want to bring at-
tention to a new front page feature which be-gan today. We are now researching old bound editions of the Daily Co-rinthian to discover what
happened locally 25 years ago, much of the time on the exact date.
This will be expanded on May 7 to include both 25 years ago and 10 years ago.
Both will be what hap-
pened on a local level.May 6 will be the last
day of “On this day in his-tory 150 years ago.” We wish to thank National Park Service Ranger Tom Parson of the Corinth Civil War Interpretive
Center for providing this history.
The Civil War began winding down during March 150 years ago, but Parson said there will be interesting entries until May 6.
We hope readers enjoy the new 25 years ago fea-ture and the 10 years ago element when it arrives in May.
Sincerely,Mark Boehler

Letter From the Editor
‘Laissez les bon temps rouler’
PICKWICK, Tenn. — The good times will roll as guests in whimsical masks, costumes, boas and beads descend on Pickwick for the 6th an-nual Mardi Gras bash.
“It is the Pickwick par-ty of the year,” said Micki Greer, who served as the events chairman for fi ve years.
Originally slated for Fat Tuesday, the party was rescheduled due to winter weather and will now be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 20 at Freddy T’s Beach Club.
Tickets for the party are $40 per person in ad-vance or $50 at the door.
Advance tickets can be purchased at Crye Leike, Eclectic Spaces, Central Bank, Murry’s Discount Liquor Store and Sun-Trust Bank in Savannah, Tenn.
The festivities will kick-off with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by a “put your money where your mouth is” karaoke chal-lenge.
“Those who don’t wish to sing should bring their checkbooks,” said Rotary Member Pam Goese.
Continuing the experi-ence, a Cajun dinner will also be served with plen-ty of red beans and rice, gumbo, shrimp and grits.
Hosted by the Pickwick Landing Rotary Club, proceeds from the charity event will benefi t the Dis-trict 3 Fire Department.
According to Fire Chief Richard Childers, any-thing raised goes right
back into the existing building and will be used to add dormitory/living quarters.
The new addition will provide sleeping quarters for up to two fi reman, en-suring the station always has a fi refi ghter on the premises and allowing them to lower their fi re insurance rating.
Photographer Marga-ret Bradley is a familiar face at the Mardi Gras celebration, having at-tended the event since its inception fi ve years ago.
“It started as a small
fund-raiser at Johns Pier and every year since has gotten bigger and better,”
said the photographer, who wished to thank Da-vid Woods for opening up Freddy T’s as the ven-ue for the private fund-raising event.
Describing the Pickwick lifestyle as laid back and relaxed, Bradley described the dress as being refl ec-tive of the care-free at-titude which encourages everyone to come as they are without judgment.
“The attire ranges from a simple mask to elabo-rate sequined costumes, jewelry, makeup and hats,” said the Franklin
Courtyard owner.“If you haven’t heard
the band, Magi, you should make and effort to come out and hear them perform,” she add-ed. “They are a fabulous band with no downtime and their dance fl oor al-ways stays full.”
Magi will perform at 7:30 p.m. A live auction is slated for later in the evening.
(For more information about the event call 731-412-7493 or 901-860-1299.)

The Pickwick Landing Rotary Club is fired up about helping the District 3 Fire Department. District 3 Fire Chief Richard Childers (from left) and Rotary members Mary Lee Dunaway, Pam Goese and Joe Dwyer get in the Mardi Gras spirit in preparation for the annual bash held by the club at Freddy T’s.
Spring is just around the corner -- which means Green Market is too.
The 7th annual season of the Green Market at the Crossroads Museum will kick off on Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the C.A.R.E. Gar-den green space at the Corinth Depot.
The market will once again be held in conjunc-tion with the Crossroads Chili Cookoff.
“We’re so excited about getting started with an-other season,” said com-mittee member Cathy Wood. “The Green Mar-ket is such a great com-
munity event, and I think a lot of people see it as a sign spring is here and it’s time to get out of the house.”
A free event to the public, the Green Mar-ket offers handmade or homegrown items only including fresh produce,
pottery, wood work, repurposed furniture, jams, jellies, honey, food goodies, clothing, soaps, lotions, yard art, bird houses, home décor, jewelry and much more. Food concessions in-clude hand dipped corn dogs, funnel cakes, fi sh sandwiches, kettle corn, boiled peanuts and much more.
Local entertainment and fun events are often provided and admission to the museum is free.
Season dates are May 2, June 6, July 11, Sep-tember 5, October 3 and November 21.
Wood noted unlike previous years there will not be a market in Au-
gust.“August has always
been one of our least popular markets,” she said. “It’s just so hot on everyone.”
Another change this year includes the Green Market’s partnership with Main Street Corinth.
“The July Green Mar-ket will be held in con-junction with the Slug-burger Festival,” added Wood. “We are really looking forward to team-ing up with Main Street on this one. We’ve got some special events planned.”
Vendor registration opened earlier this week, and seven vendors have already signed up for the
April market.“Vendors continue
to be very important to the committee,” she said. “Without them, we would not be able to put on these markets.”
Vendor setup fee is $20 per market or $100 for the entire season, not including the Christ-mas themed RED Green Market held in Novem-ber. Deadline for sign up is the Thursday prior to market.
All products sold must be handcrafted or grown by the applicant.

Our View
The general population and the national media follow every move of President Barack Obama and the bickering between our na-tion’s leader and Democrat vs. Republican leaders.
There is also much political discussion and interest across the country about who will run for president with scores of names be-ing mentioned, including Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.
But folks in the Crossroads area and across Northeast Mississippi need to turn their at-tention to something far more important on the local political scene.
Our voice in Washington, D.C. is up for grabs.
The 1st District congressional seat has been vacant since Feb. 6, when Republican U.S. Congressman Alan Nunnelee died of brain cancer.
Nunnelee served 15 years in the state Sen-ate before he unseated Democratic U.S. Con-gressman Travis Childers in 2010. The 1st District includes much of North Mississippi and all of Northeast Mississippi, including Alcorn County.
The nonpartisan special election is set for May 12. If a runoff is needed, it will be June 2.
Candidates so far are state Sen. Nancy Col-lins of Tupelo, District Attorney Trent Kelly of Saltillo and attorney Quentin Whitwell of Oxford, who previously served on the Jack-son City Council.
State Rep. Chris Brown of Aberdeen said recently he would run, but later announced he’s out of the race because his father is retir-ing and he needs to spend more time with the family’s business.
Collins, 67, was elected to the state Senate in a 2011 special election to succeed Nun-nelee. She was founding president of Sanctu-ary Hospice House in Tupelo.
Kelly, 48, is in his fi rst term as district at-torney for Lee, Pontotoc, Alcorn, Monroe, Itawamba, Prentiss and Tishomingo coun-ties. He is an Iraq war veteran and has served 29 years in the Mississippi Army National Guard.
Whitwell, 42, is an attorney and business-man who served on the Jackson City Council from February 2011 to October 2014, before moving his family back to Oxford.
More candidates are expected to seek the position. March 27 is the deadline to qualify.
We need to follow who is seeking this po-sition and become educated on who these people are and fi nd out what they stand for.
Historically, special elections gain very lit-tle interest and have low voter turnouts.
But quite frankly, there is nothing more important going on in our nation’s capitol than who we send there to represent us.

A verse to share
Let the climate inquisi-tion begin. The ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Com-mittee, Raul Grijalva of Ari-zona, has written to seven universities about seven researchers who harbor impure thoughts about cli-mate change.
One of the targets is Ste-ven Hayward, an author and academic now at Pep-perdine University. As Hay-ward puts it, the spirit of the inquiry is, “Are you now or have you ever been a cli-mate skeptic?”
Grijalva’s letters were prompted by the revela-tion that Wei-Hock Soon, a scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and a skeptic, didn’t adequately disclose support for his research from energy interests.
Soon’s lapse aside, the as-sumption of Grijalva’s fi sh-ing expedition is that anyone who questions global-warm-ing orthodoxy is a greedy tool of Big Oil and must be harried in the name of plan-etary justice and survival.
Science as an enterprise usually doesn’t need po-litical enforcers. But pro-ponents of a climate alarm-ism demanding immediate action to avert worldwide catastrophe won’t and can’t simply let the science speak
for itself.In fact,
for people who claim to champion science, they have the least scien-tifi c tempera-ment imag-inable. Their attitude owes more to Tro-
fi m Lysenko, the high priest of the Soviet Union’s politi-cized science, than, say, to Gregor Mendel, the founder of modern genetics whose work was shunned by Ly-senko for ideological rea-sons.
Consider the plight of Roger Pielke Jr. of the Uni-versity of Colorado, Boul-der, who has done work on extreme weather. He, too, is on the receiving end of one of Grijalva’s letters.
At fi rst blush, Pielke seems a most unlikely tar-get. It’s not that he doubts climate change or that it could be harmful. His of-fense is merely pointing to data showing that ex-treme weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes and droughts haven’t yet been affected by climate change, and this is enough to enrage advocates who need imme-diate disasters as a handy political cudgel.
It can’t be Apocalypse 100 Years From Now; it has to be Apocalypse Now.
Eager to blame the on-going California drought on climate change, John Holdren, President Barack Obama’s science czar, chal-lenged Pielke on droughts, citing various research showing that they may be getting worse.
But the bible of the cli-mate “consensus,” the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says that “there is not enough evidence at present to suggest more than low confi dence in a global-scale observed trend in drought or dryness (lack of rainfall) since the middle of the 20th century.” Even Holdren’s long written response to Pielke is full of stipulations of uncertainty.
To move a political de-bate this simply is not good enough. It is impossible to scare people with a long list of methodological im-ponderables and projec-tions showing far-off harms, should the modeling hold up over eight decades. The imperative is to show that, in Holdren’s words, “climate change is an urgent public health, safety, national secu-rity, and environmental im-perative” (emphasis added).
It has to be counted a
small victory in this proj-ect that Pielke will no lon-ger be an obstacle. Citing his harassment, Pielke has sworn off academic work on climate issues. And so the alarmists have hounded a serious researcher out of the climate business. All hail science!
The other day, the head of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, quit amid a sexu-al-harassment scandal and noted in his letter of resig-nation: “For me the pro-tection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our eco-systems is more than a mis-sion. It is my religion.”
Is it too much to ask that the man in charge of a proj-ect supposedly marshaling the best scientifi c evidence for the objective consider-ation of a highly complex and contested phenomenon not feel that he has a reli-gious commitment to a cer-tain outcome?
Why, yes it is. The kind of people who run inquisitions may lack for perspective and careful respect for the facts and evidence. But they never lack for zeal.

A shameful climate witch hunt
If the sadists of ISIS are seeking — with their mass executions, child rapes, im-molations, and beheadings of Christians — to stampede us into a new war in the Middle East, they are suc-ceeding.
“Nearly three-quarters of Republicans now favor sending ground troops into combat against the Islamic State,” says a CBS News poll. The poll was cited in a New York Times story about how the voice of the hawk is as-cendant again in the GOP.
In April or May 2015, said a Pentagon briefer last week, the Iraqi Army will march north to recapture Mosul from the Islamic State.
On to Mosul! On to Raqqa!Yet, who, exactly, will be
taking Mosul?According to Rowan Scar-
borough of The Washington Times, the U.S. general who trained the Iraqi army says Mosul is a mined, booby-trapped city, infested with thousands of suicide fi ghters.
Any Iraqi army attack this spring would be “doomed.”
Translation: Either U.S. troops lead, or Mosul re-mains in ISIS’ hands.
Yet taking Mosul is only the beginning. Scores of thousands of troops will be needed to defeat and de-stroy ISIS in Syria.
And eradicating ISIS is but the fi rst of the wars Republicans have in mind.
This coming week, at the i n v i t a t i o n of Speaker John Boeh-ner, Bibi Ne-tanyahu will address a joint session of Congress.
His mes-sage: Obama
and John Kerry are bringing back a rotten deal that will ensure Iran acquires nuclear weapons and becomes an existential threat to Israel. Congress must repudiate Obama’s deal, impose new sanctions on Iran and termi-nate the appeasement talks.
Should Bibi and his Re-publican allies succeed in closing the ramp to a dip-lomatic solution, we will be on the road to war.
Which is where Bibi wants us.
To him, Iran is the Nazi Germany of the 21st centu-ry, hell-bent on a new Holo-caust. A U.S. war that does to the Ayatollah’s Iran what a U.S. war did to Hitler’s Germany would put Bibi in the history books as the Is-raeli Churchill.
But if Republicans scuttle the Iranian negotiations by voting new sanctions, Iran will take back the conces-sions it has made, and we are indeed headed for war.
In 2010, Sen. Lindsey Graham declared: “In-
stead of a surgical strike on [Iran’s] nuclear infrastruc-ture ... we’re to the point now that you have to really neuter the regime’s abil-ity to wage war against us and our allies. ... [We must] destroy the ability of the re-gime to strike back.”
Today, the entire Shi-ite Crescent — Iran, Iraq, Bashar Assad’s Syria, Hez-bollah — is fi ghting ISIS. All these Shiites are de facto al-lies in any war against ISIS. But should we attack Iran, they will become enemies.
And what would war with Iran mean for U.S. interests?
With its anti-ship missiles and hundreds of missile boats, Iran could imperil our fl eet in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. The Gulf could be closed to commercial shipping by a sinking or two.
Hezbollah could go after the U.S. embassy in Beirut. The Green Zone in Baghdad could come under attack by Shiite militia loyal to Iran.
Would Assad’s army join Iran’s fi ght against America?
It surely would if America listened to those Republi-cans who now say we must bring down Assad to con-vince Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arabs to join the fi ght against ISIS.
By clashing with Iran, we would make enemies of Da-mascus and Baghdad and the Shiite militias in Iraq and Beirut battling ISIS today –
in the hope that, tomorrow, the conscientious objectors of the Sunni world — Turks, Saudis, Gulf Arabs — might come and fi ght beside us.
Listen for long to GOP foreign policy voices, and you can hear calls for war on ISIS, al-Qaida, Boko Haram, the Houthi rebels, the Assad regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, to name but a few.
Are we to fi ght them all? How many U.S. troops will be needed? How long will all these wars take? What will the Middle East look like af-ter we crush them all? Who will fi ll the vacuum if we go? Or must we stay forever?
Nor does this exhaust the GOP war menu.
Enraged by Vladimir Pu-tin’s defi ance, Republicans are calling for U.S. weapons, trainers and troops to be sent to Ukraine and Moldova.
Says John Bolton, him-self looking at a presidential run, “Most of the Republi-can candidates or prospec-tive candidates are head-ing in the right direction; there’s one who’s headed in the wrong direction.”
That would be Rand Paul, who prefers “Arab boots on the ground.”

State seeks to hire 50 prison guards
JACKSON — The Mis-sissippi Department of Corrections seeks to hire 50 new correctional officers for the prison in Leakesvile.
Interviews will be held Saturday, March 7, at the South Mississippi Cor-rectional Institution start-ing at 8:30 a.m. Starting pay is $1,833.80 per month.
Correctional Officer Trainees are responsible for the supervision, care, custody, and control of inmates in a correctional institution or facility.
An applicant must be 18 years old, provide proof of a high school diploma or G.E.D., pos-sess a valid driver’s license and Social Secu-rity card and have no fel-ony or domestic violence conviction. Applicants also must complete a math quiz, a written re-port, a physical agility exercise and a drug test.
Appeals to be heard in death of deputy
JACKSON — The Mis-sissippi Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Franklin Fitzpatrick, who was convicted of capital murder in the 2010 fa-tal shooting of a Tippah County sheriff’s deputy.
Fitzpatrick, now 30, was convicted in 2013 and was sentenced to life in prison without pa-role.
Fitzpatrick, who was on parole for two cocaine sale convictions at the time of the murder, was tried as a habitual of-fender.
Prosecutors say Dep-
uty Dewayne Crenshaw was killed while respond-ing to a disturbance call on Dec. 3, 2010.
Prosecutors say Cren-shaw was shot with his service pistol while he and another deputy were grappling with Fitzpat-rick.
Inmate’s appeal set in rape conviction
JACKSON — Attorneys for death row inmate Charles Ray Crawford will argue before the Mis-sissippi Supreme Court March 23 that the man’s 1994 rape conviction should be tossed out be-cause he received poor legal representation at his trial.
The result of the ap-peal could mean the dif-ference between life and death for Crawford.
Crawford, now 49, is on death row for the 1992 slaying of Kristy Ray in the Chalybeate community in Tippah County. Crawford argues he received ineffective counsel to defend him-self against the rape charges, which were used by prosecutors to seek the death penalty. Few details of the rape conviction are discussed in earlier briefs in the death penalty case.
The Supreme Court refused in December to throw out Crawford’s ap-peal of his 1994 rape conviction. Prosecutors had argued in requesting the dismissal that Craw-ford got a fair trial and that if there was any er-ror, it was Crawford’s for waiting 20 years to file an appeal.
Glenn Swartzfager, Crawford’s lawyer, has argued there were nu-
merous errors in Craw-ford’s rape trial including poor performance by the defense, prosecutorial misconduct, and ques-tionable rulings and jury instructions from the trial judge.
“A more error-ridden case may never have come before this court,” Swartzfager wrote in the brief to the Supreme Court.
Aldermen reject bids for depot renovation
NATCHEZ — Plans for the renovation of the downtown railroad de-pot in Natchez are at a standstill.
The Natchez Board of Alderman rejected five base bids for renova-tion projects Tuesday, citing all bids were too high. The lowest bid was $1.19 million and the highest $1.78 million.
The Natchez Democrat reports James Johnston, Natchez community de-velopment director, along with Mayor Butch Brown and consulting engineer Sharpie Smith are work-ing to draft a new bid to advertise within the next six weeks.
In an effort to cut costs, Smith said the bid will be redrafted to include three phases, which are to be deter-mined.
Johnston said the depot needs extensive roofing renovations, new electrical installations, updated plumbing and general interior and exte-rior updates.
Once a bid is ac-cepted, Smith estimates the project would take 240 days to complete — hopefully in time for the city’s tricentennial.

Stolen NASCAR car located in Atlanta
HAMPTON, Ga. — The No. 44 race car returned to its NAS-CAR shop in North Carolina on Saturday after it was recovered along a remote road in suburban Atlanta, ap-parently abandoned by the thieves who stole it from a hotel parking lot.
While the discovery didn’t occur in nearly enough time for Team XTREME to compete in this weekend’s race at Atlanta Motor Speed-way, it was a huge boost for the small-bud-get operation in its bid to make the next event at Las Vegas.
“There was no dam-age whatsoever,” team owner John Cohen told The Associated Press. “Nothing was taken off the car. Even the anten-nas that went to the radio were still in the seats.”
Police in Gwinnett County northeast of Atlanta received a suspicious vehicle call at approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday, nearly 24 hours after the race car was stolen, said Jef-fery Richter, the public information officer. A motorist spotted the No. 44 machine along a darkened road and quickly realized it must be the stolen race car.
Cohen was called to the scene, confirmed it was his $250,000 race car off the shoulder of the road, and called a tow truck to take it back to their shop in subur-ban Charlotte.
Lake is Lower 48’s only ice jet runway
ALTON, N.H. (AP) — Winter on New Hampshire’s Lake Win-nipesaukee means ice fishing, hockey tourna-ments and, if the ice is strong enough, air-planes.
After being grounded by bad ice and worse weather for most of the winter, the Alton Bay Seaplane Base and its ice runway are open.
Dozens of pilots from all over the Northeast took advantage of a rare, sunny, storm-free Saturday to touch down on the frozen lake, the only ice runway in the lower 48 states ap-proved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
“How many times can a non-amphibian plane land on water?” asked pilot Ken Ortmann of Rochester, New Hamp-shire.
Another pilot, Angela Leedy, flew three hours from Pittstown, New
Jersey, to try out the runway.
The 3,000-foot air-strip is popular with pilots, said airport di-rector Paul LaRochelle, who keeps it plowed when the ice is strong enough.
As he directs pilots to park he advises them not to use their brakes: “You’ll just skid,” he said.
GOP heads struggle to control Congress
WASHINGTON — Two months into full Republican control of Congress, GOP leaders are struggling to dem-onstrate they really are in charge.
The stunning House defeat Friday of a three-week spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security exposed Speaker John Boehner’s weakness in the face of rebellious conservatives.
It also again demon-strated his need to rely on Democrats at critical moments as the minor-ity party’s agreement to a one-week spending bill helped the speaker get it over the finish line with only hours to spare before a threatened agency shutdown.
President Barack Obama signed the bill shortly before midnight.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell, R-Ky., already had bowed to Democrats’ demands and stripped the contentious pro-visions rolling back Obama’s immigra-tion policies from his chamber’s version of the Homeland Security spending bill.
The two leaders face different, and often competing, challenges as they try to produce the responsible gover-nance they promised voters after November elections, when Republi-cans won control of the Senate and increased their House majority to the largest in 70 years.
Dems: Homeland strategy a blunder
WASHINGTON — Democrats are losing some skirmishes over the Department of Homeland Security, but many feel they are win-ning a political war that will haunt Republicans in 2016 and beyond.
Democrats lacked the votes Friday to force Republicans to fund the department for a year with no strings. Still, even some Republicans say party leaders are on a perilous path with a very public ideological struggle only highlight-
ing the GOP’s inability to pass contested leg-islation and possibly worsening its weak re-lationship with Hispanic voters.
Worst of all, numer-ous lawmakers said, Republican leaders have offered no plau-sible scenario for a suc-cessful ending, so they simply are delaying an almost certain and em-barrassing defeat.
Conservatives defend their doggedness. They say they courageously are keeping promises to oppose President Barack Obama’s liber-alization of deportation policies, which they con-sider unconstitutional. Several said their con-stituents support their stand, while others said the issue transcends politics.
As a deadline fast ap-proached Friday night, the House agreed to ex-tend the department’s funding for a week. But some in both parties said the Republicans were losing political ground.
Health form errors add hassle to taxes
WASHINGTON — It’s not uncommon to feel some trepidation around tax-filing sea-son.
But there’s an added hassle this year for nearly a million con-sumers who got finan-cial help with health insurance premiums under President Barack Obama’s law.
The government sent consumers erroneous information on forms that they need to com-plete their 2014 tax returns.
Now these people are getting robocalls and emails advising them to delay filing until the mis-takes are fixed.
“It’s been a com-edy of errors from the start,” said K.C. Crafts, a freelance financial writer from South Ber-wick, Maine.
The mistake the gov-ernment made affected 800,000 customers receiving subsidized health coverage through the federal insurance market. Some states running their own in-surance exchanges also have had tax-form troubles.
In the federal case, 2015 premiums were substituted for what should have been 2014 numbers on new tax forms called 1095-As. Those forms are like W-2s for people who got subsidized health insur-ance — building blocks for filing an accurate tax return.

RECEPTION
CONTINUED FROM 1A
In life, you are the driver, not a passenger.
You are ultimately in charge of the route you travel. The decisions you make or don’t make im-pact your journey. As the
driver, you have to deal with other traf-fi c, road c o n d i -tions and w e a t h e r . You have to be aware of what is going on a r o u n d
you at all times. For safe travel, you make what-ever adjustments are needed when needed.
All you have control over are your actions. Your life is your respon-sibility. Blaming other people or circumstances has the same impact as letting go of the steering wheel; you will run off the road and crash.
You may possibly get lost on your journey. If this happens, you need to ask directions or look at a map. Waiting for the situation to improve on its own is useless. Get-ting back on track re-
quires deliberate action on your part.
When a road is closed or blocked, you have to take an unplanned de-tour. Doing so is neces-sary in order to reach your objective. When faced with a detour, you don’t give up, get out of your car, and lie down on the side of the road. Instead, you follow the alternate route to your destination.
Suppose after arriv-ing at your destination you decide it’s not what you expected or not what you wanted. Remaining there would be foolish. It makes more sense to go someplace else. It doesn’t matter how long or ardu-ous a journey you took. If you are not happy where you have wound up, fi nd a more desirable destina-tion and go there.
It’s nice when every-thing works out exactly as planned. But your trip can take longer than ex-pected. Traffi c, detours, getting lost, and the weather all add to your travel time. It’s easy to become impatient. The problems you have to deal with are frustration inducing. Expending more effort than antici-
pated is not unusual.Every successful trip
requires patience as you deal with obstacles as they occur. The longer the trip, the more chal-lenges you will face. Be-ing able to handle what-ever situations arise is essential in order to reach your destination.
Long trips require preparation. Your desti-nation should be known. The route must be planned. Your car needs to be in good working condition. Your bags have to be packed and loaded into the car. Simi-larly in life, having the skills, knowledge, and ability necessary to reach your destination enhanc-es your ability to reach it. Preparation greatly in-creases your capacity to succeed.
Developing good driv-ing skills requires prac-tice. Do you remember how awkward it felt to be behind the wheel of a car for the fi rst time? The more you drive, the bet-ter you become. Practice is key to improving.
You want to practice driving under any condi-tions you may encounter. Urban driving requires a different skill set than
country driving. In order to prepare for driving in snow you have to drive in snow. The same require-ments hold true for driv-ing in the rain or at night. Restricting your driving to ideal conditions leaves you unprepared to han-dle the unexpected.
Life is no different than driving a car. In both situations, you are responsible for the di-rection you are headed. The decisions you make determine your experi-ence and impact your ability to reach your des-tination.
Decide where you want to go. Determine the best way to get there. Prepare for your journey. Get started. You are re-sponsible for where you are now. If you are not happy with your current situation, it’s up to you to change direction. Take the wheel and get going to wherever you would like to be.

JACKSON — Each of the eight statewide elected offi cials in Mis-sissippi has at least one challenger this year, although some of the newcomers might run low-budget campaigns.
Just before candi-dates’ qualifying dead-line Friday, a teacher who describes herself as not having “a fancy ped-igree or a lot of money” signed up to run against fi rst-term Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves in the Republi-can primary.
Alisha Nelson McEl-henney, who lives in Moss Point and teaches in Alabama, originally fi led Thursday to run for a state Senate seat held by Republican Michael Watson of Pascagoula.
There had been wide-
spread speculation that Watson would become a tea party-allied candidate to challenge Reeves in the GOP primary for lieu-tenant governor. Instead, Watson qualifi ed Thurs-day to seek a third term in the Senate. After that, McElhenney switched to the lieutenant governor’s race Friday.
“Let’s stop Common Core. Let’s phase out our state income tax,” McElhenney said in a news release Friday.
Reeves, who served two terms as state trea-surer before he was elected lieutenant gov-ernor four years ago, has about $2.4 million in his campaign fund. This is McElhenney’s fi rst run for offi ce, and she has not fi led a cam-paign fi nance report.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — At a taco shop in Southern California, milkshakes are served in mason jars and a chalk-board menu lists “The 1%er” made with lobster meat.
The logo is a pink skull and instead of buzzers, customers are given li-cense plates so servers can identify them when bringing out orders.
Nowhere is it evident that the U.S. Taco Co. is an outpost of a chain bet-ter known for cheesy gut bombs: Taco Bell.
Major companies are testing whether it would pay to tuck away their world famous logos in fa-vor of more hipster guis-es: PepsiCo, for instance, introduced a craft soda called Caleb’s last year and McDonald’s opened a cafe that lists lentils and eggplant on its menu. The stealth efforts refl ect the pressures on the coun-try’s biggest food mak-ers, which are contending with the surging popular-ity of smaller brands that position themselves as decidedly less corporate.
For big food compa-nies, the low-key efforts are a way feel out chang-ing tastes and cozy up to
new customers, particu-larly those in their 20s and 30s. Among that age group, marketing experts say there’s a growing pref-erence for qualities like “real” and “authentic.” Additionally, millennials aren’t as impressed by big brands when it comes to food, and instead take pride in discovering and sharing new places and products with friends on social media networks.
As such, Allen Adamson of Landor Associates, a brand consulting fi rm, said companies should keep the images for their latest efforts smaller and more niche: “You don’t want to scream from the mountain top that you’re Pepsi.”
Unlike Pepsi cola — which has suffered sales declines since 1998, ac-cording to Beverage Di-gest — PepsiCo’s Caleb’s Kola comes in a glass bottle and is sweetened with cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup.
There are no signs the drink is from the maker of Mountain Dew and Gatorade, and the bottles bear the words “Honor In Craft.”
Nick Hammit, who heads Caleb’s Kola at PepsiCo, said Caleb’s was the creation of a group of “Kola Nuts” at the compa-
ny who were passionate about making a cola that “takes pride in every little aspect.”
McDonald’s also decid-ed not to use its name rec-ognition when it opened The Corner late last year.
The restaurant in Aus-tralia has a minimalist white exterior and serves dishes like Moroccan roast chicken, chipotle pulled pork and lentil and egg-plant salad. The only sign it’s owned by McDonald’s is the “McCafe” in small print at the bottom of the restaurant logo.
McDonald’s spokes-woman Becca Hary said in an email the location is a “learning lab” for test-ing “new and different food and beverages never before seen in our restau-rants.”
The Corner comes as McDonald’s suffers ongo-ing sales struggles, with global sales down 1 per-cent last year at estab-lished locations as cus-tomer visits declined in regions around the world.
For its part, Taco Bell said in an emailed state-ment that U.S. Taco’s opening was the result of a “segmentation study” that found some people just don’t want to eat at tradi-tional fast-food chains.
So instead of trying to
win them over with Taco Bell, a team known as “in-trapreneurs” at the com-pany came up with an entirely separate concept, which charges about $3 to $4 per taco.
The shop in Huntington Beach, California caught the attention of Christina Kaoh, a 30-year-old re-search coordinator who was in the area paddle boarding with friends.
“I fi gured it’s going to be a hip version of tacos,” Kaoh said.
She only learned it was owned by Taco Bell after reading an article that mentioned the link in Mother Jones. Kaoh said she wouldn’t go back since she tries to support independent establish-ments, and didn’t particu-larly enjoy the food.
The ownership of smaller brands by major corporations isn’t a deal breaker, of course. In the beer industry, Anheuser-Busch InBev in 2006 cre-ated Shock Top. Harry Schuhmacher, editor of Beer Business Daily, said most people probably don’t realize it’s owned by the maker of Bud Light. Even if they did, he said it wouldn’t matter now that Shock Top is established enough to have its own following.
Big food firms try hipster guisesBY CANDICE CHOIAP Food Industry Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — State Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey said Thursday that it may have been “a mistake” for Tennes-see to subsidize the de-velopment of the Gen-eral Motors plant outside Nashville because it has a United Auto Workers union contract.
The Blountville Repub-lican’s comments came as GOP lawmakers weighing a $166 million incentive package for Volkswagen expansion in Chattanooga seek assurances that the German automaker will remain neutral on labor issues among its workers.
Republican lawmak-ers have grumbled about the United Auto Work-ers union’s ongoing role at the plant, and Ramsey pointed to the thriving Nissan plant in Smyrna as an example of the benefi ts of nonunion auto produc-tion compared with the GM plant that begun its life making Saturns.
“Maybe we made a mis-take years ago with the things we did for Saturn, because it’s been up and down, closed and open,
and yet Nissan is booming right now,” Ramsey said.
The GM plant in Spring Hill produced more than 3.7 million vehicles be-tween 1990 and 2007. At its peak, the facility employed nearly 8,000 workers. But that number had dwindled to about 630 by 2009, when auto assembly was idled dur-ing the Great Recession.
Production was re-started following a 2011 contract agreement with the UAW that included salary concessions for entry-level workers and an agreement to bring jobs to Spring Hill that would have otherwise gone to Mexico. The plant now employs about 1,700 hourly workers. GM announced earlier this month that under the 2011 contract, each work-er will receive $9,000 in profi t sharing.
The Nissan plant in Smyrna has added about 4,500 jobs since 2011, bringing its total to 8,400 employees. The plant made 648,000 vehicles last year.
Mike Herron, the chair-man of UAW Local 1853 in Spring Hill, said organized labor has played “a criti-cal role” in developing the auto industry in Tennes-see. The UAW estimates that all but 2,000 posi-tions at Nissan are fi lled by temporary employees, while all of the blue-collar jobs at GM have perma-nent status and benefi ts.
“These jobs give people the opportunity to be part of the middle class,” Her-ron said. “If you really take a look at some of the stuff happening at Nissan, do we really want — in the state of Tennessee — that to be held up as our pin-nacle of success?”
Nissan declines to di-vulge how many of its workers are permanent employees.
The UAW narrowly lost a unionization vote at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga last year, but the union has since quali-fi ed for a new labor policy at the plant that grants access to meeting space and to regular discussions with management. The policy stops short of col-lective bargaining rights.

DEAR ABBY: I am 23 and my husband is 27. We’ve been mar-ried for two years.
Since our wedding, I have felt an overwhelming amount of pressure to “settle down and buy a house.”
One friend’s boyfriend recent-ly bought a house.
She lives with him. Every time we get together
she brags about how impor-tant it is to buy a house and not “waste money” by renting an apartment.
My husband and I are happy renting because it allows us the money to travel and experience life together.
The thought of being tied down to a mortgage at 23 years old for the next 30 years doesn’t sit well with me.
I am new in my career and have no idea where it may take me.
I understand that buying a house is a good investment.
I often feel as if we are the “minority,” as it seems everyone is rushing to settle down, have children, buy a house, etc.
Is it wrong that we would rath-er wait, enjoy ourselves travel-ing and doing what we like to do, and then follow the status quo and sign a mortgage that will tie us down for the next 30 years? -- FEELING PRESSURED IN MARYLAND
D E A R P R E S -S U R E D : Have you ever heard the say-ing, “Differ-ent strokes for different folks”?
You ap-pear to be p ressu r i ng yourself as a
result of your friend’s bragging. Whether or not to buy a home
is a personal decision, and one that can vary from couple to couple (or person to person).
You do not need to “keep up with the Joneses” or do any-thing you don’t feel ready for. A house is more than a roof over one’s head.
It can also be a reservoir of money that accrues as equity. If you’re afraid that if you buy a home you will be trapped for 30 years, think again.
People have been known to change homes several times in a lifetime.
However, because you and your husband would prefer to take your time and wait to buy until you’re more established in your careers, then that’s what you should do.
DEAR ABBY: I am a cat per-
son. I’m not particularly fond of
dogs, especially when they jump on you, try to lick you or sit in your lap, etc.
This is regardless of the breed or size.
My question is, when visiting someone who has a dog that behaves like this, what should I do?
It makes me really uncom-fortable, and sometimes I don’t even want to visit someone’s home if I know I’m going to be slobbered on or have my clothes soiled or damaged by their dogs. -- UNCOMFORT-ABLE CAT PERSON
DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: A way to ensure it won’t hap-pen would be to talk to the dog owner in advance, explain that it makes you very uncomfortable when animals do this and ask that the dog be kept in another room while you’re there.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A predisposition is not the same thing as a predetermination. To-day, an optimistic point of view will help you land in a better place than many of your friends and relatives.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in the mood to take the initiative. Unsolicited encourage-ment is a much better gift than unsolicited advice, which pretty much no one will like today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Generally speaking, you’ve been too hard on yourself and it’s time to let up. Today there is nothing good that comes of pun-ishment. Sometimes the most active thing you can do is just relax.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll hear the song you’ve been singing and decide the sound is so “last year” that you no longer relate. New songs will be invent-ed just as soon as you stop sing-ing the old one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have an excellent sense of what’s worthwhile. A moment of happiness will be brief and nonetheless so completely full that it’s certainly worth all of the efforts and anticipation you en-dured to get to it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know that the world existed before you and will go on after you, but you still feel that, some-how, it’s yours to win right now. You’re right about that. This is your time. Seize the day.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The pang of someone pulling on your heart strings will remind you where you left your heart and/or whom you gave it to. How fragile your heart can seem in some-one else’s hands.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everything works out better when you keep it simple. Instead of worrying about tomorrow and the next day, do today’s work and trust that the rest will come together.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Better to be open-minded and let yourself wonder than to land prematurely on a belief that prevents you from exploring your curiosities and all of the dif-ferent options.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are traits your loved one possesses that annoy you but are inconsequential in the long run. The graceful way is to distinguish those traits from the true problems and overlook them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to know what another person knows, but you don’t want to see things as this person does. Through your skillful ques-tioning and careful listening, you will learn much.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Let’s say your emotions are a kind of bank account. Someone close to you is making a with-drawal that’s much larger than is fair, agreed upon or allowed. There needs to be a deposit to offset this.
A house is worth having only if it feels like home

Dear Abby
The fi nal day of February wasn’t kind to the Biggersville and Corinth girls, as well as, the Kossuth boys.
The trio exited the state playoffs in the second round, one win shy of reaching the newly-formatted, eight-team State Tournament.
The Lady Lions (18-13) dropped a heartbreaker to Ashland, falling 41-39 in the Class 1A Girls’ bracket.
Biggersville fell behind 14-2 after one, but battled back. The two were tied at 33-all with just under three minutes left in the state qualifi er.
Camee Faulkner, who led all scorers with 17, came up with two huge buckets down the stretch to punch the Lady Dev-ils’ ticket to the Capital City.
Biggersville had the ball for a poten-tial game-tying shot, but were left two points short of advancing.
The Lady Lions cut the halftime defi cit to 20-12 with Elly Nash supplying six of her team’s points on a perfect showing from the charity stripe.
Six points by Nash and fi ve by Jada Tubbs accounted for all of the host club’s points in the third. BHS took two more points of the Ashland lead to pull to within 29-23 heading to the fi nal eight minutes.
Faulker was the lone Lady Devil in double fi gures.
Nash and Tubbs paced the Lady Lions with 14 points each.
• At Holly Springs, Kossuth fell in a 23-7 hole after one period and never re-covered in second-round Class 3A Boys’ play.
The Aggies (18-14) pulled to within 38-27 at the break and got to within seven at the 5:46 mark of the third before the Hawks (19-9) pushed out to a 19-point lead after three.
Holly Springs followed a 26-point third with a 26-point fourth in advanc-ing to the State Tournament.
Kennedy Dye paced Kossuth with 17.• At New Albany, the host Lady Bull-
dogs scored 42 points in the opening half and cruised past Corinth 72-45 in
the second round of the Class 4A Girls’ playoffs.
New Albany (19-9) earned a berth in the State Tournament, while Corinth saw one of its most successful seasons

The Corinth Warriors were the lone local survivor on Sat-urday.
While the Kossuth Lady Aggies will have to wait until Monday to decide their fate, Corinth returned to the State Tournament for the third time in four years with a 73-51 win at Rosa Fort on Saturday.
Corinth (24-7) will open its 17th State Tournament on Friday at 4 p.m. against New-ton County (18-12) at Jack-son State University. Newton County knocked off Division
6 champion Florence by a count of 49-47.
Byhalia, Gentry and New Albany are the other North teams in the bracket, and will play the same day against South foes.
Corinth trailed by one point for two short periods, once in the fi rst quarter and once in the second.
The Warriors led by as many as 11 points in the opening half, at 34-23 on a Trae Burcham 3-pointer off a second-chance opportunity. CHS got 24 second-chance points off 23 rebounds and
were a plus-four on the glass on their end of the court.
Antares Gwyn scored eight points in the fi rst quarter as Corinth led 15-13 at the fi rst horn. Rosa Fort (23-7) stayed in the game by getting to the line and making all eight tries in the opening eight minutes.
Corinth avoided trouble when Kendall Stafford went to the bench after picking up his second foul with 7:33 left in the half. The Warriors would close the half on an 18-10 advantage without their leading scorer and went to the break with a 34-25 lead.
The Warriors broke open the game with 11 straight points in the third, scoring on all fi ve possessions. Gwyn, who had 24 points and 15 re-bounds, scored six of those as the lead swelled to 20 at 45-25.
After Rosa Fort reeled off fi ve straight points of its own, Stafford took over. The se-nior, who tallied 21, scored four straight points and fi n-ished with 12 of his team’s 22 in the quarter.

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU guard Tim Quarterman only hoped his sore left ankle wouldn’t render him a defen-sive liability against Missis-sippi’s leading scorer, Stefan Moody.
Quarterman did more than just hold up against Moody on Saturday. One day after twisting his ankle in practice, he turned in the fi rst triple-double by an LSU player since Shaquille O’Neal in 1992.
Quarterman had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and LSU pulled into a fourth-place tie in the Southeastern Conference with a 73-63 vic-tory over Ole Miss.
“I’m surprised,” Quarter-man said. “Just to be men-
tioned with Shaq — he’s a leg-end around here.”
“It was just a special mo-ment for me and my team-mates. They celebrated more than me,” Quarterman add-ed. “Everything happens for a reason. I don’t even know.”
Moody fi nished with 15 points, but that was below the 20.1 points he’d averaged in his previous eight games and he hit only three of 16 shots, going 1-of-7 from 3-point range.
“Of course, it’s frustrating,” Moody said. “At the end of the day it’s on all of us. It’s a team effort. We all just have to play better.”
Quarterman is not the marquee player for LSU that O’Neal was — or that Jordan
Mickey is now — but that only made coach Johnny Jones more appreciative of what his hobbled guard’s performance meant at a time when the stakes are rising.
“Anytime you’ve got guys like that, they’re winners and they step up,” Jones said. “He laid it on the line for his team and that’s what you need night in and night out. And if the guys around you know that, some good things can happen to you.”
Jarell Martin added 18 points and Keith Hornsby 16 for the Tigers (21-8, 10-6 SEC), who won their third straight overall while sweep-ing the season series with Ole Miss.
Mickey added 11 points —
all in the second half — and blocked four shots.
Sebastian Saiz scored 11 for Ole Miss (19-10, 10-6), which came in with a school-record four straight road victories in SEC play. But the Rebels shot only 38.3 percent (23 of 60) and turned the ball over 17 times, leading to 15 LSU points.
With stats like those, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said, “The outcome is going to be pretty predictable.”
“For us to turn it over 17 times against a team as ath-letic as LSU, they are going to score in transition,” added Kennedy, whose team has lost two straight for the fi rst time

Corinth’s Jamia Kirk tries to get off a shot as New Albany’s Anna Frances Stroud applies the defensive pressure. New Albany ended Corinth’s season with a 72-45 win on Saturday.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — After 11 straight games of shoot-ing 40 percent or less, South Carolina coach Frank Martin might have thrown up his hands and given up on the Southeastern Conference’s worst shooting team.
But instead, he kept believ-ing in them, and the Game-cocks (14-14, 5-11) fi nally found their touch in an 81-68 win over Mississippi State on Saturday night.
South Carolina shot 46 percent and that was miss-ing seven of its last eight fi eld goals when the game was pretty much out of hand. It was a surprise for many for
a team that was shooting just 35 percent in SEC games.
But it wasn’t for Martin. “What do you tell guys to get them to make shots? Tell them you believe in them,” Martin said.
Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said his Bulldogs (12-17, 5-11) also helped with some poor defense.
“They were uncontested shots. We didn’t do a good job of contesting shots,” Ray said.
Perhaps no one benefi ted from Martin’s belief and the Bulldogs lack of defensive effort than South Carolina senior guard Tyrone John-son. He scored a career-high
28 points on 7-of-10 shoot-ing and made 13 of 15 free throws.
“There were gaps wide open and I took them,” John-son said.
The Gamecocks led for the fi nal 37 minutes of the game, but Mississippi State did cut its defi cit to four with 17 min-utes to go.
Laimonas Chatkevicius then took over, scoring seven of the next eight points to put South Carolina ahead 52-38 with 15 minutes left.
The Gamecocks would lead by at least nine the rest of the way.
Chatkevicius tied a career-high with 18 points and had
nine rebounds for the Game-cocks.
Mississippi State shot 47.8 percent, but turned the ball over fi ve more times and had fi ve fewer offensive rebounds. Craig Sword led the Bulldogs with 26 points.
South Carolina climbed into 11th place in the SEC with the win. Both teams still need at least one more win in their last two games to have a chance to avoid playing in the fi rst day of the fi ve-day SEC tournament since the league expanded to 14 teams in 2013.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — An-drew Harrison and Trey Lyles each scored 18 points, and top-ranked Kentucky rolled past No. 18 Arkansas 84-67 Satur-day to clinch the South-eastern Conference regu-lar-season title.
The long-awaited mar-quee matchup of the SEC’s top two teams belonged to the undefeated Wildcats (29-0, 16-0) on both ends as they earned their 46th league title and halted a three-game losing streak against the Razorbacks (23-6, 12-4). Kentucky’s league-leading defense held the conference’s top scoring team to just 38 percent shooting and 12 points below its average.
The Wildcats mean-while shot 48 percent from the fi eld and out-rebounded the Razor-
backs 38-32, among other statistics, to extend their best-ever start.
Tyler Ulis added 14 points and Devin Booker 10 for Kentucky, which led by as many as 31 with eight minutes left.
Michael Qualls’ 17 points led four Arkan-sas players in double fi g-ures, but the Razorbacks couldn’t keep up after the early minutes.
Bobby Portis added 15 points, Alandise Harris 12 and Rashad Madden 11, none of which mattered against a Kentucky squad that once again played its best against a ranked op-ponent.
Then again, this game mattered a little more for the Wildcats. Besides fac-ing perhaps their last ma-jor hurdle to an unbeaten regular season, they were also motivated to beat Ar-
kansas for just the second time in six meetings.
The Wildcats succeeded by slowing down Arkansas and keeping its danger-ous duo of 6-foot-11 Por-tis and 6-6 Qualls. Lyles, Willie Cauley-Stein (seven points, nine rebounds, four blocks) and Karl-Anthony Towns (eight points, fi ve rebounds) had a lot to do with that as Kentucky controlled the paint 40-24.
Kentucky’s other objec-tive was avoiding lapses that made Wednesday’s game at Mississippi State tight for a stretch before the Wildcats eventu-ally took control for an 18-point win.
The Wildcats quelled that concern from the start with a quick pace that knocked the Razor-backs on their heels. Lyles started things off with a
lob dunk from Towns, who followed with a put-back basket.
Aaron Harrison soon added a 3-pointer to get a sellout crowd into the game, and Kentucky had plenty more in an ener-getic if chippy fi rst half by both teams.
The teams combined for 22 fouls and 32 free throws and Kentucky made the most of its chances by making 15 of 20 from the line in building a 42-26 halftime lead. The Wild-cats went to make 21 of 28 free throws.
Arkansas went 0-for-9 from long range and shot 30 percent shooting over-all along with outrebound-ing the Razorbacks 24-18 through 20 minutes. Few things got better as they made fi ve 3-pointers that made a slight dent in their defi cit.

goal up. The Bulldogs fi nish with ninth-place Vanderbilt and last-place Missouri.
And South Carolina thinks it can also make a late-season surge like in 2014 when the Game-cocks won four of their last six, including two SEC tournament games — the fi rst wins in the league tournament in six seasons.
“When we play like we did today — like we did early in the season — we can play with the best of them,” Johnson said.
TIP-INSSouth Carolina: Third-
year coach Frank Martin needs one more win in the last two SEC games to improve his win to-tal each season with the Gamecocks ... South Car-olina has not won more than fi ve SEC games since 2010.
Mississippi State: The Bulldogs are 18-11 all-time against South Carolina. The only other SEC team they have a winning record over is Mississippi ... Five SEC wins are already the best for third-year Bulldogs coach Rick Ray.
SWORD SLASHESCraig Sword’s 26
points were just one off his season high. And he impressed Martin.
“God, is Craig Sword good,” Martin said, opening his news con-ference. “He may be the hardest guard in the league.”
Sword’s coach also praised him. Rick Ray said he was the only Bulldog that really at-tacked the basket.

Six months or two years.Those were the two choices
facing Eloise Mowers after she learned she had lung cancer.
Mowers went with another option.
The 62-year-old decided she was going to make it. She took on an attitude to defeat Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
“I was told I had six months without treatment or two years with treatment,” said the Hin-kle woman.
Mowers underwent 19 rounds of radiation then chemotherapy in her battle with the disease.
“I would have done anything to live,” she said. “Whatever they told me I was going to do.”
Mowers, a 39-year smoker, wasn’t feeling well in 2010. She thought she just had a round of bronchitis.
“I had never been sick a day in my life,” said the cancer sur-vivor.
Four rounds of antibiotics still didn’t make her feel any better. Mowers, the mother of Frank and Emily, was diagnosed with having Chronic obstructive pul-monary disease (COPD).
Her health still didn’t im-prove.
“I went to work one day and still didn’t feel well,” she said. “I thought it was just the COPD.”
Days of testing showed some-thing else for the then 57-year-old. Mowers found out in Au-gust of 2010 she had Stage IV cancer.
“It came on so fast,” she said. “It’s so terrifying when you hear the ‘C’ word.”
Her thoughts turned to her children. Frank had just gradu-ated college and Emily was go-ing into her senior year at col-lege.
“I was more worried about them than myself,” said Mow-ers.
Mowers was part of a chemical trial to be given the experimen-tal drug Erbitux for a year. She also underwent three rounds of Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) – a treatment were doctors are guided by imaging techniques and insert a thin needle through the skin and into the tumor – to get rid of a spot.
“I went almost two years were I had nothing then they found a spot,” said Mowers, who is mar-ried to Eddie – a cancer survi-vor himself.
Mowers’ outlook on life has
changed since 2010.“I am more patient now,” she
said. “In 2010, my thought was will I be around next Christ-
mas? … you can’t think that way.”
Attitude is everything, ac-cording to the cancer survivor.
“You have to believe you are going to make it,” she said.
A great support cast is also vital.
“I don’t know what I would have done without Eddie and the outpour of love from family and friends,” said Mowers.
Mowers said she should have known something wasn’t right in 2010.
“I should have known some-thing was wrong,” said Mow-ers, who quit smoking cold turkey in June of 2010. “But I never thought it would be can-cer.”
Today, Mowers has to have a CAT scan every three months to make sure the cancer hasn’t returned.
“She is a walking miracle,” said West Clinic Oncology Nurse Jerri Simpson. “Eloise is our poster child for lung can-cer.”
“She was our fi rst research patient and now she is our pride and joy,” added West Clinic On-cology Nurse Penny Hare.
Mowers said her physician, Dr. Sylvia Richey, is amazed how far she has come.
“She calls me her miracle and I want to continue to be her miracle,” said Mowers. “Just one day at a time.”

HATTIESBURG — Thomas A. Blanton is a theologian. And a student of Jean Lafi tte.
An oilman. And an en-vironmentalist.
A rock ’n’ roll impresa-rio twice over. And a pro-test singer with an unre-leased album.
A fan of Mark Twain. And Uncle Remus.
A community orga-nizer who can direct the distribution of thousands of campaign cards a day. And an unsuccessful can-didate for the Public Ser-vice Commission.
A strict constitutional constructionist. And a Democrat.
A cancer survivor. And a professional hell-raiser.
He resists labeling. You could say he is eclectic. Even his friends allow he’s a bit eccentric.
With white hair fl ow-ing down his back, an eye lost to cancer and a beard gone wild, he’s the image of a pirate. But he says the only thing he’s interested in raiding is the corpo-rate boardrooms of those interested in pocketing a fortune at the expense of the little guy, or the plan-et.
He’s well known in south Mississippi as the
man who took on Mis-sissippi Power and the state’s Republican po-litical machine over the baseload act and subse-quent rate increases for electricity meant to pay for the Kemper County power plant.
“I was fi nishing school in ’77 — Harvard Divinity School — and got a de-gree, master’s of divinity. It’s a three-year profes-sional degree,” he said. “I knew I wasn’t supposed to be a minister, but I felt called. And I just had this really powerful feeling I needed to move back to Mississippi.”
During summers at Harvard, he worked for Massachusetts on envi-ronmental issues such as energy conservation, gar-bage burners and curb-side recycling.
“We let computers route the garbage trucks,” he said. “We saved 18 per-cent in one year. The same thing for school buses.”
By the time he returned home, it was evident his calling was environmen-tal activism.
“Three weeks later, they announced Richton (salt domes) was going to be a nuclear dump,” he said. “Spontaneously, all these different people began having meetings. Several
hundred here in Hatties-burg and on the Coast a thousand. Everybody rose up.”
Among those rising up was Stan Flint, who runs The Consulting Group in Jackson, which lobbies on a variety of issues before the Legislature.
“(Blanton) has car-ried that fi re-in-the-belly commitment to the little guy, commitment to true democracy, commitment to participation in true democracy,” Flint said. “He’s always been on the side of what’s right. He sometimes does it a little more eccentrically than the others might do it but it’s because of people like Tommy, who delayed their lives for 12 years to do something about a proposal that became universally hated in the
state. And for good rea-son, because it was a re-ally bad idea.”
Flint said Blanton’s background in the oil business, which he got into in the late 1970s, was priceless to the cause of stopping a plan to store radioactive waste in the state’s underground salt domes.
“Whether he was talk-ing to scientists about ra-dionuclides leaking from salt stock or addressing a botanical society,” he said, “he has a core of unassailable scientifi c knowledge and dogged persistence.
“And he was doing it all out of his back pocket.”
Tenacity seems to come naturally. In the early ‘70s as an undergraduate, he brought big-name rock acts to the University of
Mississippi, including Ste-ven Stills and Manassas, an act so big the Ole Miss brass was afraid the elec-trical system couldn’t bear the load. So, Blanton and his cohorts on the student concert committee rented two generators. He said the show made $50,000.
He took on the pow-ers that be again and again. He fought to keep a bargeful of garbage from the East Coast off 16th Section school land in Stone County. He helped reject a plan to put 2,000 pig farms in the state and he lost a battle against “desnagging” or clearing Okatoma Creek.
All the while, he was building his oil holdings. He said one of his early partners, Charlie Meeks, called him “one of the great ones” for his ability to fi nd oil and gas. He said he was doing horizontal drilling in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, a sedimen-tary rock formation con-taining oil that stretches from Mississippi across Louisiana, in 1992.
“I’ve always been out front,” he said. “I like it there, where the air is clean and the big vista is.”
But “a lot of times you get out there and you lose.”
He said they lost $65
million in one explora-tion.
“We try to keep the wells clean,” he said, ex-plaining oil production and environmentalism needn’t be mutually ex-clusive. “You do the best you can and you clean up the rest.”
Oil has given him the wherewithal to battle the power company all the way to the state Supreme Court, where earlier this month the court ruled the Public Service Com-mission shouldn’t have granted the rate increase and ordered millions of dollars returned to rate-payers. Mississippi Power has asked the court to re-consider.
Mississippi Power de-clined to comment for this story, although its chief executive offi cer, Ed Holland, wrote in a recent editorial forum in The Sun-Herald: “Mississippi Power has worked hard to make sure our custom-ers pay the minimum in-crease for the costs of the Kemper facility.”
Blanton doesn’t think the energy company has much of a case.
“I don’t have this great sense of victory, of vindi-cation,” he said. “It’s been a long row to hoe and it’s not over yet.”
Man who challenged power plant resists easy labels“Whether he was talking to
scientists about radionuclides leaking from salt stock or
addressing a botanical society, he has a core of unassailable
scientific knowledge and dogged persistence. And he was doing it
all out of his back pocket.”

Over the course of their lifetimes, many people will be wedding guests on several occasions. Dur-ing the height of wedding season, weddings can run into one another, as the format and festivities are similar at the ceremonies.
Who hasn’t attended a wedding that seems formulaic? The couple enters, they do their spot-light dance, there’s food, a bouquet toss and then the cake cutting. While it is often customary and easy to follow tradition, that doesn’t mean you cannot buck with tradi-tion and offer a few cre-ative ideas to make your event stand out.
Here are several ideas you can introduce into your wedding to add something special to the reception.
• Skip the big entrance. Those who were kind enough to attend the cer-emony have already been introduced to the newly minted happy couple. Instead of spending the cocktail hour in the isola-tion of the wedding suite, mingle with your guests from start to fi nish.
• Dance to an upbeat number. Guests are ex-pecting a slow, sappy tune. What they may not expect is an upbeat song that shows you are will-ing to have a little fun. If you haven’t mastered the
waltz but enjoy a little quick step now and again, feel free to choose a tune that shows your love for each other.
• Encourage couples to dance together. It’s often customary for the bridal party to join the bride and groom on the dance fl oor midway through the fi rst dance. However, that leaves spouses or signifi -cant others waiting in the wings while their dates tango with groomsmen or bridesmaids. Encour-age your bridal party members to dance with whomever they choose.
• Swap the garter/bouquet toss for some-thing more meaningful. If you’re part of a couple who feels the garter and bouquet toss has become trite, there are other ways to create special moments in your cel-ebration. Use this time to present a small gift or token of your affection to someone on the guest list who has served as a source of inspiration.
• Let them eat ... cook-ies? Some people just don’t like cake. There-fore, why should a couple have to cut a seven-tiered white confection? Towers of different types of treats can be created from just about anything and serve as the perfect backdrop for that classic cake-cut-ting photo.

NEW YORK — Since strutting onto the big screen in “Saturday Night Fever,” John Travolta has had a career marked by dramatic ups and downs, from comeback king to Internet meme.
Travolta’s latest step back into the spotlight at Sunday’s Academy Awards was uneasy. He’s been widely pilloried for his touching of Idina Menzel’s face while he cooed “You, you my dar-ling, my beautiful, my wickedly talented Idina Menzel.”
“Apparently I played with her chin too much,” Travolta told Jimmy Kim-mel about his reunion with Menzel. At the con-clusion of the Oscars, host Neil Patrick Harris pre-dicted Travolta (booked to redeem himself for his infamous mangling of Menzel’s name the year before) will be back at next year’s show to apolo-gize again for “all the face
touching.”Images of Travolta kiss-
ing Scarlett Johansson in front of photographers on the red carpet also went viral, turning the star into a social media punch line. Johansson, however, defended Travolta in a statement to The Associ-ated Press on Thursday, saying, “There is nothing at all strange, creepy or inappropriate about John Travolta” and called the photo “an unfortunate still-frame from a live-action encounter that was very sweet and totally welcome.”
The Oscar incidents come at a time when Tra-volta, 61, is prepping a handful of projects and ahead of the release of an explosive documentary on Scientology that focus-es considerably on Tra-volta’s relationship with the organization. Should that upcoming fi lm, “Go-ing Clear,” go on to be Oscar nominated, it could again make Travolta a part of next year’s Acad-
emy Awards, albeit in a much different way.
But Travolta has long navigated the ebb and fl ow of celebrity, relying on his charisma and a few good dance moves for nu-merous revivals. Here’s a look at his highs and lows:
HIGH: Already known to TV viewers of “Welcome Back Kotter,” Travolta emphatically debuted as a leading man in the 1977 disco sensation “Saturday Night Fever.” He pro-nounced: “This is danc-ing, not that Fred Astaire thing. I just move and strut, and THAT’S DANC-ING!” He followed it up as Danny Zuko in 1978’s “Grease,” forever immor-talizing his high voice and pomade-slicked hair.
LOW: The 1980s weren’t nearly as good to Travolta as the ’70s. He worked consistently, but in a string of fl ops like “Perfect,” in which he played a Rolling Stone reporter, and “Two of a Kind,” which reteamed him with “Grease” co-
star Olivia Newton-John. Many of the fi lms he turned down (like “Amer-ican Gigolo”) were more successful than the fi lms he chose to make.
HIGH: Though the “Look Who’s Talking” comedies restored Travol-ta’s popularity, his resur-rection was undoubtedly due to one man: Quentin Tarantino. The director sought out Travolta, even though Daniel Day-Lewis, fresh off his Oscar win for “My Left Foot,” report-edly wanted the part. Travolta’s performance as Vincent Vega earned him his second Oscar nomination and brought on a rush of work, includ-ing the acclaimed “Get Shorty.”
LOW: The “Pulp Fic-tion” rejuvenation did not last long, though Travolta’s track record (“Michael,” ‘‘Face/Off,” ‘‘Primary Colors,” ‘‘A Civil Action”) was better in the late 1990s than it was in the ’80s. He even had a notable cameo in Ter-
rence Malick’s “The Thin Red Line.” But in 2000, he starred in perhaps the biggest bomb of his ca-reer: “Battlefi eld Earth.” The futuristic science-fi c-tion fi lm was partly based on a novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It was made by indepen-dent production company Franchise Pictures (which was later convicted for infl ating the budget to “Battlefi eld Earth” and went bankrupt), with Tra-volta putting up money of his own. It’s frequently ranked among the worst movies of the decade.
HIGH: Travolta per-haps never recovered af-ter “Battlefi eld Earth,” but he continued to co-star in big-budget releases that received mediocre reviews and did modest box offi ce: “Swordfi sh,” ‘‘The Pun-isher,” ‘‘The Taking of Pel-ham 123.” More recently, Travolta has lined up sev-eral fi lms: “The Forger” (a crime drama due out in April), “Criminal Ac-tivities” (a mob thriller
directed by Jackie Earle Haley) and “In a Valley of Violence” (a Western co-starring Ethan Hawke). Most intriguingly, he’s to play O.J. Simpson defense attorney Robert Shapiro in the upcoming FX series “American Crime Story” by Ryan Murphy (“Nip/Tuck,” ‘‘American Horror Story”).
LOW: Travolta’s recent years have been marred by tragedy, lawsuits and increased attention to his long-held religion. His son, Jett, died in 2009 of a seizure at age 16. In 2013, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright published “Going Clear: Scientology, Hol-lywood, and the Prison of Belief,” a thoroughly researched expose of the Church of Scientol-ogy, that Travolta joined in the ’70s. The book and Gibney’s upcoming documentary, made with Wright, are critical of Tra-volta for being a public face to the controversial organization.
‘Pulp Fiction’ to Oscars: Travolta’s highs, lowsBY JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
LAS VEGAS — Grace-land will always be home, but Las Vegas is set to be Elvis Presley’s home away from home yet again.
The King fi rst played Vegas almost 59 years ago and spent months as a Sin City resident. Now, the Westgate Las Vegas hotel-casino will house a rotating display of Elvis memorabilia and artifacts rarely seen outside his famed Memphis, Tennes-see, Graceland mansion.
Feel like getting mar-ried? Graceland Vegas will include an Elvis Pre-sley-sanctioned wedding chapel.
Such chapels already dot the Las Vegas land-scape and there’s been no scarcity of Elvis exhib-its and shows, including a short-lived tribute by Cirque du Soleil in 2012. But organizers say this is the real deal.
The exhibit — all 28,000 square feet — will be the largest Presley dis-play outside Memphis.
Here’s a look at some of the memorabilia and memories the exhibit will feature:
Pieces of Elvis
Angie Marchese, Grace-land’s director of ar-
chives, said the exhibit will be the largest Elvis exhibit outside Grace-land. The clothing will come straight from Elvis’ closet in most cases. Blue Suede Shoes anyone?
Among the items ex-pected to be displayed:
■ A wooden sign larger than even Elvis. Parker paid for the 24-foot tall image of Elvis to adver-tise the singer’s fi rst per-formances in Las Vegas in 1956 at the New Frontier, since demolished.
■ The tablecloth con-tract. To ink the $1 mil-lion a year contract to perform at The Inter-national, Parker and the hotel’s owner Kirk Kerkorian retreated to a nearby coffee shop, sign-ing where there was no dotted line — on the ta-blecloth itself — complete with coffee cup stains.
■ A two-piece black tunic and single-button black suit. For his fi rst performances at The In-ternational, Elvis wore two demure outfi ts — the
black tunic during the show and the black suit for the news conference afterward. Neither have felt the Las Vegas air since Elvis wore them July 31, 1969, she said.
Memories of the man
“Those of us that lived it, Elvis never left the building,” said Dominic A. Parisi of the perform-er’s lingering presence.
He won’t say how old he is, but he was old enough to ready Elvis’ rooms at the casino-hotel with meals (an early evening break-fast of well-done eggs, well-done toast, well-done bacon) and drinks, heavy on the bottled water, from 1972 to 1976 while Elvis performed there.
Now director of the hotel’s room service and specialty restaurants, Pa-risi fondly recalled his encounters and talks with the King.
“He loved the hotel. He loved Vegas,” he said.
He loved chatting about everyday things — girls, cars and Las Vegas — Pa-risi said.
Parisi said he some-times goes up to the 30th fl oor to Elvis’ old suite, has a glass of wine and reminisces.
“Hopefully he’s listen-ing,” he said.
Graceland bringing Elvis back to his Las Vegas home

“Graceland Pres-ents Elvis: The Exhibi-tion - The Show - The Experience” is slated to open April 23, with the exhibit costing $22; performances start at $49.
LOS ANGELES — The theft of a $150,000 pearl-covered gown worn by Lupita Nyong’o at the Os-cars doesn’t surprise Hol-lywood stylists who have personally experienced the seedy side of red car-pet fashion.
Style expert and fash-ion commentator Mary Alice Stephenson has for years heard stories about similar stolen celebrity items.
“It’s not shocking to me that this would be taken out of her hotel room,” said Stephenson, who once had a nabbed Fendi bag held for ransom.
A dress like the custom ivory one designed by Francisco Costa for the Calvin Klein Collection could fetch a lot of money on the black market, Ste-phenson said.
“There are a lot of col-lectors out there who are very private and have pri-vate collections of stolen merchandise,” she said. “Some of these dresses have global fame as big as any Van Gogh.”
However, Los Angeles Auction House director Bryan Abbott noted that the black market would be problematic for fetch-ing top dollar in this case.
“Celebrity-related ma-terial has additional value because it’s related to the celebrity,” he said. “If this was stolen, you wouldn’t be able to realize that ad-ditional value.”
“I can’t think of a hard-er thing to sell than a high-profi le Oscar dress by a famous manufactur-er that’s associated with a famous personality. You’d have to bury it for a hun-dred years,” he added.
The 6,000 disconnect-ed pearls wouldn’t even be worth much on their own, Abbott said.
“Most pearls don’t have much of a resale value to start with, unless they’re from a famous manufac-turer such as Mikimoto,” he said. “If the dress were made of Mikimoto pearls, it would be millions of dollars.”
Sheriff’s deputies re-sponded to call late Wednesday from a West Hollywood hotel after the custom dress was report-
ed missing from the hotel room of the actress, sher-iff’s Sgt. Richard Bowman said.
Nyong’o was present when deputies took the report, but she wasn’t in her room when the elab-orate gown was taken, Bowman said. Her publi-cists said they would not comment on the theft.
Detectives were at the hotel Thursday looking for clues, including sur-veillance video that might reveal what happened.
Nyong’o won an Os-car in 2014 for her role in “Twelve Years a Slave” and was a presenter at Sunday’s ceremony.
Nyong’o told a reporter for Yahoo Style that she was involved in the design of the dress.
“We talked about it be-ing fl uid and liquid,” she told the site. “I wanted it to be an homage to the sea.”
A representative for Calvin Klein declined to comment. But late Thurs-day night, the fashion house did tweet a close-up photo of the dress, writ-ing “have you seen this dress?” with the hashtag “freethepearls.”
