Four mail processing centers in the state are set to close.
The U.S. Postal Service says processing services in Tupelo, Grenada, Gulfport and Hatties-burg will be transferred to other facilities with three of the four moved to sites out of state.
“This is one part of the recov-ery plan put in place by the Postal Service,” said Doug Kyle, spokes-man for the Mississippi Postal Service District. “There are a number of things in play that end up to a comprehensive plan.”
The Postal Service also an-nounced that three Tennessee centers (Jackson, Chattanooga,
and Johnson City) are in line for closure.
No specifi c dates were an-nounced for any of the closings. No closing or consolidation will take place before May 15.
If action is taken, the Tupelo and Jackson, Tn. services will both be transferred to Mem-phis, Tenn.; mail processing
operations in Grenada will move to Jackson; and all mail processing operations in Gulf-port and Hattiesburg will move to Mobile, Ala.
The proposed changes wouldn’t impact the time of mail delivery to areas currently served by the processing centers that could be closed, Kyle said.
Chief Operating Offi cer Me-gan Brennan says consolidating postal operations is necessary to keep the Postal Service afl oat.
Moves were made following a study started fi ve months ago by the Postal Service to examine mail processing at some Missis-

Visitors search for names and pay their respects at the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall during the wall’s visit to the area on Labor Day weekend 2010. Approximately 11,000 people saw the memorial during that visit and planning and fundraising efforts are currently underway to bring to the wall back to Corinth this summer.
A large donation from Mag-nolia Regional Health Center has boosted continuing ef-forts to bring the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to Corinth for a second visit.
The three-fi fths scale replica of the original Vietnam Memo-rial in Washington is scheduled to arrive in Corinth on June 20 and will be on display at North Corinth Baptist Church from June 21 through 24.
MRHC recently donated $2,500 to the effort to bring the wall to Corinth. Tom
Chartres, chairman of Veter-ans and Family Honors Inc, the non-profi t organization formed to bring the wall back to Corinth said they need to raise $15,000 to do every-thing they need to do to bring the wall in. He said the hos-pital’s donation is the largest single donation received so far and leaders are extremely grateful to the hospital and to everyone who has contributed to the project.
The wall last came to Corinth on Labor Day week-

In addition to the chance to sample some of the area’s best wildlife dishes, the 2012 Wild-life Tasting Supper — coming Tuesday night to the Cross-roads Arena — is an opportu-nity for fun and fellowship.
Local wildlife cooking enthu-siasts are working through the weekend to produce the win-ning dish for the 27th annual
event’s much-anticipated Dish Contest, said Sandy Mitchell, district clerk for the USDA Nat-ural Resources Conservation Service in Alcorn County.
“That’s a big thing,” Mitchell said. “Everybody wants to win. A lot of hard work and prepa-ration happens over the week-end.”
The Wildlife Tasting Sup-per features a Dish Contest that promises cash prizes for
the best cooks in a wide range of wildlife categories: Antlered (deer, elk, moose, etc.); Land Critter (rabbit, bear, opossum, raccoon, etc.); Water Critter (beaver, fi sh, turtle, alligator, etc.); Feathered (quail, duck, dove, goose, pheasant, etc.) and Desserts (muscadine cob-bler, blackberry pie, etc.).

A local hero attended a day of activities celebrating Black His-tory Month at the Corinth Black History Museum on Saturday.
Roy Allen “Bo Peep” Robin-son, 89, a veteran who served with the famed Tuskegee Air-men, attended the event which was held to showcase the tal-ents of a pair of black artists.
Robinson worked as an aerial photographer for the Tuskegee Airmen — the name given to the 477th Bombardment Group and the 332nd Fighter Group during World War II. They were the fi rst African-American mili-tary aviators in the history of the United States armed forces.
As aerial photographer for the 477th Bombardment
Group, Robinson would lie in the bottom of planes fl own by the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II and take photos of areas to be bombed. Later, he would accompany the pilots again on the bombing missions.
He is a resident of the Missis-sippi Care Center nursing home in Corinth.
Saturday’s event provided a forum for the talents of two black artists from around the region, Brian D. Crockett and Victoria Cummings Bobo.
Crockett, a 39-year-old New Albany-based artist, displayed a series of stark, black and white paintings of bluesmen — Lit-tle Walter, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Pinetop Perkins, Mud-

end of 2010. Chartres said they saw approxi-mately 11,000 people visit the wall during its fi rst visit, with veterans and families coming from throughout the region to view the display and pay their respects. They are anticipating around 8,000 visitors during this year’s display.
The chairman said it’s an incredibly moving thing for veterans and all those touched by the war to view the wall. The moving wall creates an opportunity for people to
experience the memorial who may not ever have the chance to travel to Washington.
This year’s visit will be-gin with opening ceremo-nies on Friday, June 22, led by Brig Gen. Bill Huff. Bro. Bill Wages of North Corinth Baptist Church will lead a prayer, and VFW State Commander David B. Mason will serve as the featured speaker. The ceremonies will also include patriotic music.
Bad Bob will also make a return appearance, per-forming his moving Miss-ing Man tribute program honoring those who did
not return from combat.Fundraising efforts
are continuing and sev-eral upcoming events are planned, including an auc-tion set for March 31 at the American Legion Building being organized by JC and Carlene Parker. More de-tails about that event will be announced soon.
Donations to the proj-ect can be mailed to Vet-erans and Family Honors Inc, 107 N. 4th St., Boon-eville, MS 38829.
For more information on how to get involved and assist with the effort, call Chartres at 662-284-0739.
hunting clubs are asked to compete against each other in preparing a large quantity dish.
Because of shortages in previous years’ events, participants are encour-aged to bring a dish.
Many wildlife culinary experts return year after year to treat the gathering to a taste of their much-admired dishes, Mitchell said. Local veterinarian Dr. Jim Jackson “can cook anything and wrap it in bacon — and it wins.” Al-corn County Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell is working up an anticipated batch of Tennessee River catfi sh.
“His wife is also a won-derful cook,” Mitchell said. “The whole family is. Those Caldwells can cook!”
Those who attend can expect duck gumbo, wild turkey kabobs, hospitality pie and much more.
Mitchell emphasized that you don’t have to be a hunter or fi sher-man to contribute to the Wildlife Tasting Supper. Many people cook store-bought shrimp or catfi sh, and some cooks get their game from a friend or family member who does hunt. The point is that ev-eryone is welcome.
“I don’t want anybody to feel like they can’t be a part of it,” Mitchell said.
Hot dogs and barbecue will be available for any-one who prefers not to eat wildlife.
The Wildlife Tasting Supper began in the late ’80s. About 75 people at-tended the fi rst event. Since then it has grown every year. Over 600 peo-ple attended last year’s Wildlife Tasting Supper — and the food is only one of the reasons for the event’s amazing increase in popularity.
“It’s a big social event now,” Mitchell explained.
“There’s no set program. Fellowship is the only thing we concentrate on. You’ll see people telling hunting stories, hear peo-ple talking about fi shing, what they caught, the deer that got away. It’s a really good thing for the com-munity to get together and fellowship. Once you get there it makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
There will be several ex-hibits, from antique trac-tors to off-road vehicles to homemade knives. A variety of door prizes will be given away during the evening. Two guns will be raffl ed off at the end of the Supper — and adult model (Mossberg .535 with wood stock) and a youth model (Harrington & Richard-son .243 with wood stock and scope). The guns were provided by the Corinth and Alcorn County Bank Association. Another item up for raffl e will be a util-ity trailer that was built by VoTech students to help raise money for Alcorn County 4-H Club events and activities.
An event on this scale requires many people working behind the scenes, Mitchell said.
“We have lots of support in the city and county, lots of individuals and busi-nesses,” she said. “As hard as times are, we are very fortunate. We couldn’t have it if it wasn’t for these businesses and individu-als in the community.”
Organizers encourage those who plan to attend to take advantage of the special “dish for admis-sion” system. One wildlife dish will get one person in free. Otherwise, admis-sion is $8 for adults and $5 for youth under 12.
The doors open and registration begins for the Dish Contest at 5 p.m. The Supper will begin at 6 p.m.
Organizers wish to thank the Crossroads Arena staff and all of the volunteers that help to make the event possible.

dy Waters and George “Harmonica” Smith.
He said his greatest ex-perience with the arts was during a stint teaching his artistic skills to youngsters in New Albany. What struck him most was the unfaltering attention and honesty his artwork prompted from the class.
“I enjoyed it more than selling art or any exhibit — that was super-cool,” Crockett said.
He currently has ex-hibits of his artwork on
display in New Albany and Atlanta, Ga., in addi-tion to the local exhibits.
Bobo is an artist and poet. The Black History Museum currently con-tains one of her paint-ings and a sculpture of “Adam and Eve.” Over a bluesy, gospel-tinged backing track with swirl-ing organ notes, Bobo recited “Tribute to a Black Female Gospel Singer,” a selection from her spoken-word album “The Color of Diversity.”
She spoke warmly about her feelings re-
garding the opportunity to perform at Corinth’s Black History Museum.
“I love it,” she said. “I dared to dream — and a dream has come true for me.”
Bobo has been writing poems since she was 12 years old. She is the author of several volumes of po-etry and numerous plays.
Where does she fi nd her inspiration?
“The Good Lord and His creations,” she re-plied. “How can you not feel energized to see the beauty of nature?”
sippi District facilities.In December 2011, the
Postal Service agreed to impose a moratorium on closing or consoli-dating post offi ces and mail processing facilities prior to May 15, 2012, to give Congress and the Administration the op-portunity to enact an al-
ternative planThis delay was de-
signed to allow Congress suffi cient time to enact comprehensive postal legislation. In the mean-time, the Postal Service continued all necessary steps required for the review of these facilities, including public notifi ca-tions, public input meet-ings and consideration
of public comments. Implementation of this consolidation is contin-gent upon the outcome of pending rule making for a proposal to revise exist-ing service standards.
Since 2006, the Postal Service says it has expe-rienced a 25 percent de-cline in fi rst-class mail.

Gasoline prices are rising rapidly and driv-ers are getting mad. We always get mad when gas prices cramp our driving lifestyles. But this time around something is missing. Have you noticed the lack of blame from the main-stream media?
In 2008, coincidentally an-other presidential election year, gas prices rose precipi-tously and the mainstream me-dia carried stories daily blam-ing Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. After all, both men were “Big Oil” men.
In a CNN interview on July 17, 2008, Nancy Pelosi said, “The price of oil is at the door-step — $4 plus per gallon for
oil, is attributed to two oil men in the White House.” I believe she meant to say, “$4 plus per gallon for gasoline,” but you get the point.
In one of the Democrat’s weekly radio ad-dresses in 2008 Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) gave the following remarks: “When Pres-ident Bush took offi ce, gas prices were less than half of what they are today — and oil was less than one-third. Then, seven years ago, President Bush and Vice President Cheney secretly invited executives from the big oil and big energy companies to the White House to write our national energy policy.” Blame Bush, blah, blah, blah.
In the summer of 2008 then-candidate Barack Obama gave a stump speech on ener-gy at a gas station in Indiana in which he said as president, “We’ll also take steps to reduce the price of oil and increase transparency in how prices are set so we can insure energy companies aren’t bending the rules.”
All of the steps Mr. Obama has taken to-date have apparently not worked. That may not be transparent, but it’s surely clear enough to those of us pumping our own gas.
After the 2010 BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama administration imposed a moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf. U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman knocked down that moratorium June 22, 2010, only to have the Obama administration reinstate the moratorium …voluntarily lifting it the fol-lowing October. However, the administration has still maintained a virtual moratorium by slowing the permit process dramatically.
President Obama’s energy policy of limiting domestic oil exploration and development in favor of pouring billions of dollars down the drains of failed green energy companies like Solyndra and Ener1 is certainly one major factor raising the price of gasoline, though you wouldn’t know that from the mainstream media. And, the Keystone Pipeline project is no longer in the news.
In fact, the mainstream media have not even recognized the impact high gas prices are having on infl ation. “The economy is im-proving.” “We’re moving in the right direc-tion.”
Really? Maybe in Washington or in the rar-efi ed ivory towers where only elite progres-sives dwell! Down here on planet earth we’re paying an arm and a leg to fi ll up our tanks and groceries aren’t so cheap either.
The mainstream media has been reluctant to lay the blame for anything at the door of this White House, and I’d bet they’ll blame everybody except Mr. Obama for rising gas prices when people really start looking for somebody to blame.
After all, we’re in a presidential election year, and ideology and politics drives the mainstream media to favor progressive can-didates in all their “news” stories. Meanwhile the rest of us will just have to bear our fair share of sacrifi ces at the pump.
(Daniel L. Gardner is a former resident of Corinth who now lives in Starkville. He may be contacted at [email protected].)
No blame for high gas prices
Prayer for today
A verse to share
STARKVILLE — Since 2009, Missis-sippi government has struggled with the means and the methods to bring the state’s tax collection processes and mech-anisms into the mod-ern era. In effect, that means to optimize the state’s ability to collect all the legal tax revenue due from the taxpayers who owe it and to close the gap between the taxpayers who are meeting their obliga-tions and those who are not.
Back in 2009, the alarms began sounding in earnest at the old State Tax Com-mission — now called the state Department of Rev-enue after a reorganization — over a very real and im-mediate threat to govern-ment at all levels in Missis-sippi. In a letter that year to then-Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant and then-House Speaker Billy McCoy, Department of Revenue Chairman Ed Morgan raised what he called “the nightmare sce-nario.”
Morgan told the legis-lative leadership that the state’s antiquated comput-
er system — the one that collects over 70 percent of the state’s General Fund rev-enue and processes the collection and re-imbursement of over $1 billion back to county and munici-pal governments —was poised to crash.
Morgan told lawmakers that the question wasn’t “if” the system crashed, just of “when” the crash would oc-cur.
The old computer soft-ware system at the De-partment of Revenue was implemented over 35 years ago in 1974. Morgan told Bryant and McCoy in 2009 that the tax revenue collec-tion and processing com-puter software was “bro-ken” and “on life support.”
In that same 2009 let-ter, Morgan told lawmakers that Mississippi’s antiquat-ed computer system was, in fact, leaving vital state rev-enues that should be col-lected on the table at a time when the state could least afford not to collect every penny.
“In 1974, when this soft-ware was implemented,
an agency of about 1,000 employees collected $400 million in revenues,” wrote Morgan. “In Fiscal Year 2008, we collected $7.1 bil-lion with fewer than 700 employees using the same software. You can only han-dle so much volume before the levee breaks.”
The Legislature respond-ed positively and decisively with $35 million to replace the aging computer sys-tem. But lawmakers didn’t address the concurrent re-quest that Morgan made for additional Department of Revenue agents and ana-lysts to take the new wealth of computer data and con-vert it into closing the “tax gap” between the tax rev-enue owed under the exist-ing tax structure and the ac-tual amount collected.
Both former Gov. Haley Barbour and current Gov. Phil Bryant have asked law-makers for an additional $4.5 to $5 million for the Department of Revenue to fund additional personnel to beef up tax collection efforts and close the “tax gap.” But in this era of tight state budgets, those re-quests were cut during the
legislative process.Morgan said this week
that with an additional $5 million for personnel, he believed his agency over an 18-month period could col-lect at least an additional $25 million and realistically as much as $52 million with no new taxes levied — just a stronger effort by the state with more trained person-nel to collect the existing taxes due.
With new Republican leadership in the Senate and House, the political survival of any “new tax” effort is expected to be nil. But it would seem that funding an effort to make a fair, full and comprehensive collection of the existing tax structure from all taxpayers would be an easy sell.
Unfortunately for those diligently paying the taxes they owe, Morgan said the “accounts receivable” of uncollected taxes from the “tax gap” is growing faster than the ability of the De-partment of Revenue to col-lect those taxes.

The tax collection struggle
Pat Buchanan might have seen the end of the line com-ing at MSNBC when last month network president Phil Griffi n commented on his latest book, “Suicide of a Superpower,” by saying, “I don’t think the ideas that (Bu-chanan) put forth are appropriate for the national dialogue, much less on MS-NBC.”
When Buchanan was let go recently after 10 years as a commentator on the net-work, no one was surprised.
I don’t agree with some of Buchanan’s ideas, es-pecially regarding Jews, his questioning of whether World War II had to hap-pen or whether the United States should be involved militarily in the Middle East, but he has every right to his ideas, as we all have the right to our own. It’s called free speech.
The approach to free speech should be like the one taken by the ACLU in 1977 when neo-Nazis made plans to march through the Jewish suburb of Skokie, Ill. While deploring their views, the ACLU defended
the group’s right to express itself.
Today, is censor-ship the new plural-ism?
Actor Ben Jones, who starred as “Coot-er” on the television show “The Dukes of Hazzard,” wrote to tell me about a deci-sion by NASCAR to
ban the car known as the “General Lee” from appear-ing at the Sprint Cup series race at Phoenix next month. The image of the Confeder-ate fl ag on the car’s roof, said NASCAR spokesman David Higdon, “...is not something that should play an offi cial role in our sport as we continue to reach out to new fans and make NAS-CAR more inclusive.”
Jones said in a recent statement, “At a time when tens of millions of Ameri-cans are honoring their Union and Confederate an-cestors during this Sesqui-centennial of the Civil War, NASCAR has chosen to dis-honor those Southerners who fought and died in that terrible confl ict by caving to ‘political correctness’ and the uninformed concerns of corporate sponsors.
“This is also an extraordi-nary insult to rural South-erners, who are NASCAR’s oldest and most fervent fan base, and it sends a mes-sage against inclusion and against the need for diver-sity.”
Is conformity the new di-versity?
Jones is not only an ac-tor, but a former Demo-cratic member of Congress from Georgia and a strong civil rights proponent.
When the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the burning of the American fl ag as free speech, while the free exer-cise of religion is being cur-tailed at many levels, is this not censoring a particular category of expression? Censorship is also moving beyond its classic defi nition into a new and even more dangerous area.
As The Daily Caller, a 24-hour news site found-ed by conservative pundit Tucker Carlson and former Cheney aide Neil Patel, has reported, a liberal group known as Media Matters has not only fed talking points to some reporters and opinion columnists, it has been campaigning to get people fi red when they
hold ideas with which the left disagrees. According to the Caller, Media Matters hired people to investigate the lives of Fox News em-ployees and compiled an “enemies list.” Media Mat-ters didn’t respond directly to the charges; its founder, David Brock, instead point-ed to Reuters’ criticism of the Caller’s “bad journal-ism” and “lame propagan-da” as the reason for Media Matters’ silence.
These and many other at-tempts to suppress speech and force people into a uni-versal and “acceptable” be-lief system harm freedom. Suppressing speech chang-es not a single mind. The freedom to debate ideas and present arguments in support of a position is what separates the United States from most other na-tions.
Do we want to become like countries that have the equivalent of “thought police,” smothering speech and penalizing anyone who refuses to toe the party line? Should I be prevented from asking this question?

JACKSON — Efforts to step up enforcement against illegal immigrants moved forward Friday in the Mississippi House with a bill modeled on Alabama’s crackdown, though its sponsor says his bill doesn’t include the parts that have been tied up in federal court chal-lenges.
The House Judiciary B Committee voted 15-6 to pass House Bill 488, which now goes to the House Education Com-mittee. It would then go to the full chamber.
The bill’s sponsor, Ju-diciary B Committee
Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said the Mis-sissippi bill should stand up to legal scrutiny. Ala-bama’s law is considered one of the toughest state laws against illegal immi-grants.
Mississippi has a rela-tively small illegal im-migrant population, although it appears to have grown in recent years. The Pew Hispanic Center estimated that in 2010, the state had about 45,000 illegal im-migrants out of nearly 3 million total residents.
The bill is supported by Gov. Phil Bryant, a Re-publican who has been campaigning against il-
legal immigration since his days as state audi-tor. Proponents say the state spends more money providing services to im-migrants than it reaps in taxes, and claim that il-legal immigrants, if they leave, will vacate jobs that unemployed citizens can take.
They say the bill is about legal compliance and that they welcome le-gal immigrants.
“I believe that every person in Mississippi, whether they are here il-legally or not, is a child of God,” Gipson said. “We’re not trying to hurt anyone. We’re not trying to starve anyone.”
Opponents dispute those claims, empha-sizing that Mississippi doesn’t need to summon any ghosts of its racist past.
“It is still about eth-nic cleansing,” said Bill Chandler, executive di-rector of the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alli-ance. “It is still talking about driving people out of Mississippi.”
The new version of the bill removed an attempt to create a new crime of failing to carry im-migration papers. That provision had led some opponents to nickname the measure the “papers, please” bill. Under the
change, a police offi cer could only check some-one’s immigration status if the offi cer had pulled the person over for some other reason.
“The reason it was re-moved is not because it’s a bad idea, necessarily,” Gipson said. “The rea-son it has been removed is it has been enjoined by a federal court in Ala-bama.”
The bill still says law enforcement offi cials should check for immi-gration status when “a reasonable suspicion ex-ists” that a person is in the country illegally. The measure bars police from considering race, color
or national origin when making that decision, al-though opponents still fear racial profi ling.
The new version also adds an exception if a person is “an internation-al business executive of an international corpora-tion authorized to trans-act business in the state.”
In the months after the Alabama law was enact-ed, police there arrested a Japanese man on assign-ment at the state’s Honda factory and a German man who worked for the state’s Mercedes-Benz plant, spurring wide-spread concern that the law would scare off for-eign investors.
House committee passes immigration billBY JEFF AMYAssociated Press
Associated PressJACKSON — Seven
Mississippi Highway Pa-trol offi cers suspended for allegedly cheating on promotion tests have al-leged in a federal lawsuit that they were told they had to be punished be-cause most of them were white.
The Clarion-Ledger re-ports that the troopers are seeking to lift their sus-pensions, return back pay and restore their titles, positions and privileges.
Last fall, the Depart-ment of Public Safety disciplined 14 troopers for allegedly accessing or sharing questions on promotions tests. Four retired and 10 others re-ceived 30-day suspen-sions without pay as well
as demotions.In addition, none of the
punished troopers would be eligible for promotions for three years.
Asked about the allega-tions, Jon Kalahar, DPS spokesman, said he could not comment because of the litigation.
The lawsuit alleges Col. Donnell Berry, com-mander of the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol, told troopers they were being punished because disciplining “Caucasians was necessary as evidence to refute any charge of racial discrimination by African American state troopers.”
The troopers also are appealing their suspen-sions to the state Person-nel Board.
In documents fi led with the Personnel Board, Ber-ry wrote that the patrol had revamped its merit promotion system “to eliminate extraneous ad-vantages not available to all individuals participat-ing in the testing.”
Last August, patrol of-fi cials discovered a “po-tential breach of the new merit promotion testing system,” Berry wrote.
In their federal lawsuit, the seven troopers allege that all plaintiffs had used a fi le of actual questions in past tests and other study questions “with full knowledge of (Public Safety offi cials) ... and its administrative decision makers that such ques-tions had been openly utilized by state troopers
studying for promotion examinations since 1997.”
The lawsuit alleges the normal practice was “to circulate study questions
troopers could utilize in preparing for examina-tions.”
The troopers contend the majority of the “new”
questions that troopers received were in study materials they already had — and in fact, the an-swers were wrong.

Associated PressOWENSBORO, Ky. —
One area in Kentucky still won’t be able to buy al-cohol — a decision made by the fl ip of a coin. A vote held Wednesday on whether to allow alcohol
sales in the Graham Pre-cinct in Daviess County ended with a 21-21 tie. So offi cials fl ipped a half-dollar coin to decide the issue, and the Messenger-Inquirer newspaper re-ports it came up tails.
David Osborne, the county clerk, said the election’s outcome was “unprecedented” in an vote. The county has 65 precincts where alcohol sales are legal and 17 where they are not.
Precinct decides alcohol sales with coin flip Sneaker fanatics who lined up outside stores overnight got their fi rst crack Friday at a new outer-space themed Nike basketball shoe, getting so unruly in some cities that police were called to restore order.
In Orlando, Fla., more than 100 deputies in riot gear quelled a crowd awaiting the release of the $220 Foamposite Galaxy. In at a mall in Hyattsville, Md., one person was ar-rested for disorderly con-duct. And in Greenwood, Ind., police said they can-celed a Nike release after 400-600 people showed up Thursday night at a mall and were “panicking to get to the front of the line.” The shoe’s release
coincides with this week-end’s NBA All-Star Game in Orlando.
The shoes, part of a space-themed collection, are a draw for so-called “sneakerheads” who col-lect signature sports foot-gear and can resell it on-line at a marked-up price, sometimes for hundreds more than retail.
Malls in Florida, New York and Maryland re-ported bringing in police to manage fans clamoring for the purple and blue shoes, which have star-like fl ecks of white.
Some shoppers lucky enough to get their hands on a pair immediately posted them for sale on eBay at skyrocketing pric-es: $1,000 and up.
Authorities did have some warning the shoe
could cause mayhem. Earlier this month, police were called to a mall out-side Albany after push-ing and shoving broke out during a promotional event for the shoe.
Orlando resident Gaby Llanos was in the crowd waiting to buy two pairs of the shoes when the rush started outside Flor-ida Mall.
“It was complete hav-oc,” said Llanos, 23. “Peo-ple were running and hid-ing in trees so the police wouldn’t fi nd them.”
Nike issued a state-ment Friday, saying, “As with the launch of all Nike products, consumer safety and security is of paramount importance.
We encourage anyone wishing to purchase our product to do so in a re-spectful and safe man-ner.”
Nike spokesman Mat-thew Kneller said the Nike store in New York City immediately sold out Friday. The shoes were also quickly out of stock in Cambridge, Mass., where people began lin-ing up outside a House of Hoops by Foot Locker at 3 p.m. Thursday.
The store only had 12 pairs of the shoes, how-ever, so it handed out tickets to the fi rst dozen people in line, and only those people waited, store manager Terrio Lakes said.
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Losing the Michigan pri-mary would strip the last of the varnish off the im-age of Mitt Romney as the inevitable GOP presiden-tial nominee and commit him to the long march he says he’s in shape for.
A victory Tuesday by rival Rick Santorum on Tuesday would be a pub-lic-relations nightmare for Romney, who was born and raised in Michi-gan. But Romney’s cam-paign still would carry on with more money than any candidate and remain better organized to com-pete to the end.
“There is no doubt that if he loses Michigan, per-ception-wise, the wheels come off the wagon,” said Greg McNeely, a former Michigan Republican Par-ty director who’s now un-affi liated with any White House campaign. “Can he come back? Absolutely. But it destroys the inevi-tability perception that has been built around the campaign.”
Santorum has shot up in state polls and even leads Romney in some. The former Pennsylvania senator is riding a wave of momentum after win-ning Feb. 7 caucuses in
Minnesota, Colorado and a nonbinding primary in Missouri.
He told tea party mem-bers in St. Clair Shores on Saturday that the race in Michigan was close and “winnable,” and dis-missed as “laughable” Romney’s claims that Santorum wasn’t conser-vative.
Romney is respond-ing by attacking his op-ponent’s credibility, a strategy used successfully against Newt Gingrich in Iowa and Florida to stop the former House speak-er’s momentum after win-ning in South Carolina.
At suburban Detroit restaurant on Friday, Romney listed positions Santorum said he had taken to support his par-ty even though they de-fi ed his principles. Such attacks underscore the urgency of Romney’s ef-fort to blunt Santorum’s challenge, as do the heavy concentration of televi-sion ads Romney is airing and the three campaign events he planned in the state Saturday.
Yet, there’s a lighter touch at times. Romney reminded an audience of business leaders of his boyhood in Michigan, tossing out the name of the Detroit hospital where he was born and the
school where he attended kindergarten. One televi-sion ad features his father, a former Michigan gover-nor and car executive.
Even more, he offered a prescription for the long-term revival of the all-important automo-tive industry, calling for union concessions and less aggressive emissions standards. Those propos-als might help soften any hard feelings caused by Romney’s opposition to the federal bailout of the auto industry.
“I grew up with the Romney name. My par-ents were big Romney fans,” said Ken Leonardi, owner of a restaurant in Mount Clemens, where Romney greeted several dozen supporters.
The restaurant, The Mitt, wasn’t named for Romney but for the mit-ten shape of Michigan, although Leonardi is a Romney supporter.
“I’m planning on win-ning, by the way,” Rom-ney said.
Even if Santorum beats Romney, Romney will emerge with a healthy share of delegates to add to his lead in the count, never mind fundraising and campaign organiza-tion in a race that was designed to carry into the spring.

WASHINGTON — The battle of the bulge has been a big, fat failure for U.S. drugmakers. But that hasn’t stopped them from trying.
For nearly a century, scientists have struggled to make a diet pill that helps people lose weight without side effects that range from embarrassing digestive issues to dan-gerous heart problems.
Just last week, a gov-ernment panel recom-mended the FDA ap-prove the latest diet drug Qnexa. The recommen-dation raises hopes that the U.S. could approve the fi rst anti-obesity drug in more than a decade.
It also highlights how challenging it is to cre-ate a pill that fi ghts fat in a variety of people with-out negative side effects. Even Qnexa was previ-ously rejected over con-cerns that it can cause heart palpitations and birth defects if taken by pregnant women.
“Having a drug for obe-sity would be like telling me you had a drug for the fever,” said Dr. Mitchell Roslin, chief of bariat-ric surgery at Northern Westchester Hospital in New York. “There can be millions of different reasons why someone is obese; it’s really a symp-tom of various underly-ing mechanisms.”
An effective and safe diet pill would be an easy sale in the U.S.: With more than 75 million obese adults, the nation’s obesity rate is nearing 35 percent. But the big-gest problem in creating a weight-loss drug is that there appears to be no safe way to turn off one of the human body’s most fundamental functions.
For millions of years, humans have been pro-grammed to consume calories and store them as energy, or fat. It’s this biological mechanism that makes it almost im-possible to quickly lose weight by not eating. Cutting down on food in-
stead sends stronger sig-nals to the body to store more calories.
“Throughout most of human history calories were scarce and hard to get, so we have numerous natural defenses against starvation,” said Dr. Da-vid Katz of Yale Universi-ty’s Prevention Research Center. “We have no de-fenses against overeating because we never needed them before.”
So, the drug indus-try has been on a nearly 100-year search for a drug that can help the body shed pounds. It has mostly failed to come up with an effective one and many of the experiments have proven fatal to pa-tients:
■ Early attempts fo-cused on speeding up metabolism, or the body’s method for breaking down food into energy. The speed of metabolism controls how quickly or slowly we burn calories and ultimately how much weight we take on
In the 1930s, doctors prescribed an industrial chemical called dinitro-phenol, which acceler-ated metabolism, but also caused fever, swell-ing and deadly toxicity in some patients. The 1938 law establishing the Food and Drug Administration was a response to untest-ed drugs like dinitrophe-nol.
■ In the ‘50s and ‘60s, amphetamines became popular drugs because they boost metabolism and suppress appetite. But the pills proved to be highly addictive, and doctors discovered they increase blood pressure and heart rate. The am-phetamine phentermine is approved for short-term weight loss, usu-ally less than 12 weeks, though it is seldom pre-scribed because of the potential for addiction.
■ Perhaps the worst diet pill safety debacle came in the 1990s and involved the combina-tion of phentermine and another weight loss drug marketed by Wyeth
called fenfl uramine. The combination of
the two pills, dubbed fen-phen, was never approved by the FDA. But because the agency doesn’t regulate doctors’ decisions about prescrib-ing various combinations of drugs, more than 18 million fen-phen pre-scriptions were written by 1996.
One year later, stud-ies suggested that up to a third of patients taking fen-phen experienced heart valve damage. In 1997, Wyeth was forced to recall two versions of fenfl uramine and even-tually paid more than $13 billion to settle tens of thousands of personal injury lawsuits.
■ In the last decade, drugmakers have moved toward other weight loss concoctions. Currently,
the only drug approved for long-term weight loss in the U.S. is orlistat, which is sold as the pre-scription drug Xenical and over the counter as alli. The drug works by blocking the absorption of fat.
When launched in 2007, alli received a high-profi le marketing push from drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline, com-plete with TV ads and a celebrity endorsement by country singer Wynonna Judd.
But it never took off due to unpleasant side effects, including loose bowel movements. Edu-cational pamphlets for alli even recommend people start the program when they have a few days off work, or bring an extra pair of pants to the offi ce.

— Tennessee Valley Au-thority chief Tom Kilgore predicts the federal utility will one day use its spent nuclear fuel to generate electricity.
“I’ll make a prediction,” he said to a questioner who asked about spent fuel recycling. “One of these days we’ll go out there and start mining those dry casks,” he said. TVA stores spent fuel rods from nuclear reac-tors at the sites.
Kilgore, president and CEO of TVA, spoke to Chattanooga area engi-neers on Thursday and noted that the process is already used elsewhere.
“France does it now. We just don’t have the politi-cal will to do it,” Kilgore said.
Kilgore delivered the keynote speech at the Chattanooga Engineers Week 2012 banquet on why nuclear power is still needed.
“We build nuclear to keep your rates down. The best economic tool we have — and we are in the economic develop-ment business — is to keep rates low,” Kilgore said.
Kilgore also stressed TVA’s safety record. He said he was pleased with the decision of the util-ity’s nuclear chief to stand down work at the Watts Bar Unit 2 to get work-
ers’ attention. The deci-sion by Mike Skaggs came after a construction crew removed a part from the operating Unit 1, rather than the unfi nished reac-tor they were building.
TVA recently an-nounced Unit 2 will not be competed by 2013 as expected and will exceed its $2.49 billion budget.

State Tournament
BY H. LEE SMITH [email protected]
JACKSON — Biggersville won the one that counted.
The Lions fl exed their col-lective muscles, roaring past Durant 64-44 in the fourth of six semifi nal games held Saturday in the Mississippi High School Activities As-sociation’s State Basketball Tournament.
Biggersville (28-7) will face the Coldwater-West Lincoln winner Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the Class 1A Boys’ championship.
“We’re excited to be in this position,” said fi rst-year BHS Head Coach Cliff Little.
The two had faced off on Jan. 14 at the Premier Shootout at North Pontotoc with Durant claiming a 70-68 win.
“The difference this time was that we had taken our game up a level,” said Little. “You’ve got to hit another gear if you want to play for a championship.”
Little said having already played the Tigers provided an advantage and his club backed up that statement by jumping out to 5-0 lead and never looking back.
Biggersville held Durant scoreless for the fi rst 2:12 and without a fi eld goal until the 4:26-mark of the
opening period. Behind seven points courtesy Dexter Staf-ford and a fi ve-spot from Tevin Watson the Lions had the Tigers doubled after one at 14-7.
“We pressured the ball, which is what we like to do,” said Little. “Dexter got in-volved early then we had some others step up. Depth was key for us today just like it’s been every other night.”
Marquis Watson’s steal and layup gave BHS its fi rst dou-ble-digit lead at the 5:42-mark of the second. A Stafford put-back — via an athletic scoop shot — and a dunk-and-some-harm by the 5-foot-9 Jaylon Gaines pushed the lead out to 15 with just under two minutes left in the half.
A 5-0 spurt — including an old-fashioned three-point play by Daniel Simmons — over a 12-second span helped send the Lions to the break with a comfortable 31-16 lead.
Biggersville outscored Du-rant 17-9 in the second with the Tigers recording just one more fi eld goal (3) than the Li-ons’ dunks.
Stafford, Watson and Gaines combined for 17 points in the third as Biggersville took a 52-49 lead into the fourth.

OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy has been in Terrance Henry’s ear for weeks begging, plead-ing and sometimes scream-ing for one thing: Produce.
And the 6-foot-9 senior de-livered with one of his best games of the season, pouring in 21 points as Mississippi easily beat LSU 72-48 on Sat-urday afternoon at Tad Smith Coliseum.
Nick Williams added 18 as
the Rebels (16-12, 6-8 South-eastern Conference) snapped a three-game losing streak.
“We were really good out of the gate and then we were able to sustain it,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “The biggest thing is defen-sively we were so much bet-ter. We never allowed them to attack us.”
Henry became the 33rd player in Ole Miss history to score 1,000 career points. He made 7 of 12 shots from the fi eld and 6 of 7 from the free-
throw line.The Rebels never trailed,
leading 34-24 at halftime be-fore pulling away in the sec-ond half.
It was a crushing loss for LSU (17-11, 7-7), which had played its way into the NCAA Tournament conversation with a four-game winning streak. But the Tigers had a terrible offensive game, shooting just 31 percent (18 of 58) from the fi eld.
Storm Warren led LSU with 13 points. Andre String-
er added 10 while Johnny O’Bryant had nine points and 11 rebounds.
LSU coach Trent Johnson didn’t see the end of it, re-ceiving back-to-back techni-cal fouls with 7:17 remaining. Ole Miss hit three of the four free throws assessed after the two technical to push its lead to 55-34.
Johnson was less than pleased with the offi ciating.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Levi Randolph and Ala-bama’s shooters heated up, the defense clamped down and the resurgent Crimson Tide rolled along with a little help from a familiar face.
Randolph scored a career-high 18 points and Alabama welcomed JaMychal Green back from suspension with a superb second half in Satur-day’s 67-50 win over reeling Mississippi State.
“In the second half, we had
a dominating performance all the way around,” Tide coach Anthony Grant said.
Alabama (19-9, 8-6 South-eastern Conference) has won six of eight games and weath-ered a storm of off-the-court troubles. Green, one of four players to serve a suspension the past couple of weeks, re-turned after four games to score nine points.
“It felt great to be back,” said the senior, the Tide’s leading scorer and rebound-er. “It was fun. It was a great feeling being out there with
my teammates and getting a win.”
The Bulldogs (19-10, 6-8) have lost fi ve straight and are left trying to salvage their NCAA tournament hopes.
This one was tied at half-time before Alabama domi-nated the second half 42-25. The Tide shot 64 percent (16 of 25) after the half and made 5 of 7 3-pointers (71.4 per-cent).
Trevor Releford came off the bench for only the second time this season and had 10 points. Grant called the deci-
sion not to start him “just a time management issue.”
Releford did hit three free throws after getting fouled on a 3-point shot with four-tenths of a second left in the fi rst half to tie the game at 25 and that momentum carried over.
“I thought we took the last play of the half into the locker room and came out in the fi rst fi ve minutes of the sec-ond half and played just like that,” Bulldogs coach Rick

having a kid like Dexter,” said Little. “And I was really impressed with our guard play.”
Stafford led all scorers with 18 points, pushing his career total to 1,953. Sim-mons followed with 15, while Gaines and Watson tallied 11 each.
Biggersville is seeking its second state title, the fi rst coming over Mount Olive in 1996.

absolute joke,” Johnson said. “For me, I have a problem. For as many years as I’ve been doing this, my team has a way of conducting themselves and they’re class kids. I got a guy worrying more about what my trainer is saying on the bench than calling the game. I have a problem with that.”
The game was a stark contrast to the fi rst meeting between the two teams on Jan. 7, when LSU drilled the Reb-els 81-55 in Baton Rouge, La. Stringer said the Tigers might have been a little overconfi dent.
“We came out thinking we had this game won,” Stringer said. “So we’ve got no excuses, they just played a lot better than we did.”
Ole Miss took the lead immediately on Henry’s pull-up 3-pointer and never let up. Henry had 13 fi rst-half points, reaching the 1,000-point mark on a pair of free throws. He’s just the second Ole Miss player to have 1,000 career points and 100 career blocks.
Henry’s had an up-and-down senior season, with some spectacular games mixed with virtual no-shows. But he played to his strengths against LSU, fi nishing with his left hand on drives to the basket and making open jumpers. He came into averaging a team-high 11.9 points.
“After the Tennessee loss, we were disgusted,” Henry said. “People just thought we were going to lay down, so we wanted to show we still had fi ght in us.”
Williams added 12 points in the fi rst half, shooting 5 of 5 from the fi eld, in-cluding two 3-pointers. Ole Miss kept rolling in the second half. The Reb-els stretched their lead to 43-26 on a short jumper by Williams with 13:04 remaining and were never threatened, rolling to a rare easy victory.
LSU is used to playing low-scoring games, winning each of its previous four games with scores in the 60s. But the Tigers couldn’t get into any sort of offensive rhythm against the Rebels’ suffocating half-court defense.
LSU’s leading scorer is 7-footer Jus-tin Hamilton — who was averaging 13.6 points per game — didn’t score until late in the second half when the game was already decided. He had 23 points and 16 rebounds in the fi rst meeting.
WILLIAMS: Tigers a little overconfident

Stansbury said. “That was the ball game.
“From there, we were just trying to battle back.”
Randolph also had seven rebounds, four assists and three steals with no turn-overs. The freshman’s pre-vious scoring high was 13 points against Vanderbilt, and he matched that in the second half.
“Over the course of the year, Levi has had some struggles offensively,” Grant said. “I’ve always said this about freshmen: Sometimes they just need to see the ball go in a few times.
“Once that happened to-night, he really loosened up and was aggressive out there.”
Dee Bost and Renardo Sid-ney had 14 points apiece for
Mississippi State.Starter Rodney Hood
missed the game with a deep bone bruise in his left knee.
The SEC’s leading re-bounder, Arnett Moultrie, had seven points and eight rebounds, well below his sea-son averages. He attempted only three fi eld goals as Ala-bama mostly denied him the ball around the basket.
Moultrie had 25 points and 13 rebounds in the previ-ous meeting. The difference? “Two or three weeks ago, I was more involved in the of-fense,” he said.
Green said the last game gave Alabama extra motiva-tion in defending Moultrie, too.
“We took it personal to de-fend him tonight,” he said, “and I think we did a great job.”
The Bulldogs managed a season-low in points and shot 38.2 percent (18 of 47). Ala-bama took the same number of shots but made 25 (53.2 percent).
The Tide started a 21-7 run at the end of the fi rst half to take a 43-32 lead when Green hit 1 of 2 free throws with 12:57 left.
Sidney then hit a basket and foul shot and Jalen Steele drilled a 3-pointer to slice the margin to fi ve points. Then things got away from the Bulldogs again.
“They seemed like they were just catching and shoot-ing,” Moultrie said. “They got a 10-point lead and that pret-ty much sealed the game.”
Alabama answered with two straight Releford drives to start a 14-1 run and retake control of the game. A previ-
ously scoreless Charles Han-kerson hit for seven straight points to end the spurt, helping Alabama roll to an 18-point margin.
Those were his only points of the game in 10 minutes of action. The Tide got 32 points from its bench compared to just four from Mississippi State reserves.
Alabama guard Trevor Lacey started, but with fi ve minutes left in the fi rst half he aggravated a sprained right ankle sustained two nights earlier at Arkansas. He hob-bled off the court and didn’t play again.
Green entered the game to loud applause with 13:58 left in the fi rst half. He didn’t appear too rusty, managing a quick assist at the end of a fast-break layup.
He made 3 of 4 baskets.

Abigail Van Buren
Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: I’m a sophomore at a religious university that is well regarded in both secu-lar and religious circles. I came here to become a doctor because the pre-med program has an out-standing acceptance rate to medical school.
However, in my third quarter I took a religious studies course and fell in love with the depart-ment. I’d like to pursue a career in this fi eld, perhaps as a professor. I have an excellent GPA and am working three jobs.
My problem is that my parents are not support-ive. They think I’m being impractical and will end up working in a fast-food restaurant for the rest of my life. I thought they’d be thrilled I have taken such an interest in our faith. Becoming a doctor no longer interests me. How can I convince them that I can major in reli-gious studies and not live in poverty? -- REBEL IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR REBEL: You shouldn’t pursue a career in medicine unless your
heart is in it because if it isn’t, you won’t make a very good d o c t o r . U n l e s s you plan to take a vow of poverty, a
career in religion doesn’t mean you’ll end up living hand-to-mouth. While money is important, it’s more important that you devote your life to some-thing that gives you emo-tional gratifi cation.
DEAR ABBY: As a di-vorced dad, I’m hoping you’ll address a prob-lem I have encountered in trying to co-parent my children. My daugh-ters are often invited to parties and sleepovers, which sometimes hap-pen during my parenting time, as well as during my ex-wife’s parenting time. The invitations to these events, however, are almost always sent to my ex-wife’s home or email address.
Aside from the prob-lems that have occurred
because the information wasn’t forwarded to me in a timely manner, I think it’s sexist for invi-tations to be sent only to the mother. It reinforces the outdated notion that a woman’s role is to raise children, and a father can’t be an active parent. Would you please remind your readers that the most appropriate way of inviting a child who has two households is to send the invitation to both parents? -- MODERN DAD IN ROSWELL, GA.
DEAR MODERN DAD: I think you have delivered that message very clearly. However, if not every reader takes it to heart, make a point of discussing with your ex-wife what activities may have been scheduled for your daughters while they’re with you. That way they won’t miss out on anything.
DEAR ABBY: I was re-cently diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on my tongue that has made it extremely diffi cult and painful to talk. The prob-lem is I don’t know how to handle encounters
with strangers in pub-lic places -- i.e., grocery stores, libraries, etc. I have always been polite and courteous, but now I can do no more than nod. What would you suggest in this situation? -- SUD-DENLY SILENCED IN FLORIDA
DEAR SUDDENLY SI-LENCED: Make eye con-tact with the people you would normally greet verbally and give them a smile as you are already doing. If someone tries to engage you in conversa-tion, point to your throat, shake you head “no,” and mouth the words “can’t talk.”
If you feel further ex-planation is necessary, have cards printed that state, “I am unable to speak.” That way, no one should take offense.

BY HOLIDAY MATHISCreators Syndicate
The Taurus moon is a hungry moon. Pisces infl uences overhead could have us confusing different types of hunger. Emotional needs cannot be met through food and drink. Physical hunger can’t be satisfi ed by love and good intentions. Take a moment to assess the need so that you can assign the correct remedy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll feel the elasticity of time. It’s almost as though your internal clock is set to a counting system different from the one dictated by the clock on the wall. For this reason, being punctual will take extra effort.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel that your labor output ex-ceeds your job benefi ts. This will be especially true if you don’t even have a job. The rigors of your familial role are sometimes thankless, which makes self-appreciation necessary.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Usually you project your personality in such a way as to give others a solid idea of who you are. You’ll benefi t from a more private approach now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It is a rare gift to be able to see yourself as others see you. You possess this gift. The honest people around you help, too. You’ll enjoy ease in relating to others and will create a healthy inter-personal dynamic.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t force things to happen, and yet your attention makes a huge difference in the way things develop. So stay alert to the subtle changes taking place around you, and let others know that
you’re watching.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will
be your pleasure to stave off the creeping malaise that threatens your domestic scene. Proactive attention does the trick. The work you do to make your home beautiful is espe-cially important.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The fi rst answer that comes to mind may not be the correct one. Be willing to go through the entire problem-solving process.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your live-and-let-live attitude makes you attractive to others, and they’ll be generous with you, too. There will be a happy balance between what you expect out of your relationships and what you actually receive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Keep your cool in the midst of up-heaval. You may actually enjoy the fl urry of activity around you precisely because you don’t get caught up in it. Instead of taking risks, hold off until a storm blows over.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are a pillar of stability. You some-times forget that in order to continue to withstand the pressures of day-to-day living, you need love. Hugs and praise are important factors in your well-being.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are inclined to be intolerant of your own mistakes. Where others are con-cerned, you’re more lenient. Treat yourself with the same gentleness you extend to others.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Share what you’re doing with others and, what you’d like to be doing. Friends will connect you with your next amaz-ing opportunity.

LOS ANGELES — Asso-ciated Press movie writ-ers David Germain and Christy Lemire are bor-ingly in lockstep on their picks for this season’s top Academy Awards catego-ries, depriving them of their usual snide debate over who’s going to win.
Both predict the silent fi lm “The Artist” will win for best-picture prize and for director Michel Ha-zanavicius. They also ex-pect “The Artist” star Jean Dujardin to claim best actor, with “The Help” co-stars Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer earning the actress honors and Christopher Plummer taking supporting actor for “Beginners.”
Here are their thoughts, with both sounding off on best picture, Lemire of-fering their take on best actor and supporting ac-tress, and Germain giv-ing their opinion on best director, actress and sup-porting actor.
Best Picture
Nominees: Best Pic-ture: “The Artist,” ‘’The Descendants,” ‘’Ex-tremely Loud & Incred-ibly Close,” ‘’The Help,” ‘’Hugo,” ‘’Midnight in Paris,” ‘’Moneyball,” ‘’The Tree of Life,” ‘’War Horse.”
GERMAIN: The buzz began at Cannes, as last May’s crowd considered the prospects of “The Art-ist,” a last-minute addi-tion to the world’s most prestigious fi lm festival competition. Here’s what the Cannes festival pro-gram promised for this throwback to silent cin-ema: “Hollywood 1927. George Valentin is a si-lent movie superstar. The
advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller, it seems the sky’s the limit — major movie stardom awaits.” Before “The Art-ist” premiered, Cannes critics asked one another, “Do you suppose it’s re-ally silent?” And they thought: “How unlike the usual Cannes snoot-fest. This one actually could be fun.” Well, “The Artist” has been great fun ever since, winning Jean Du-jardin the Cannes best-actor prize as George, launching him and fellow Oscar nominee Berenice Bejo to worldwide celeb-rity, and charming fans with its grand black-and-white visuals, its sweet comic melodrama, its rich score and sound effects, its show-stopping dance numbers, and its ador-able canine co-star Uggie. Writer-director Michel Hazanavicius delivers a glorious dose of nostalgia with hip, modern fl air, creating what will be the only silent fi lm to win best picture since the fi rst year at the Oscars 83 years ago. For the principals of “The Artist” — Hazanavicius, Dujardin, Bejo, Uggie — major movie stardom no longer awaits. It’s here.
LEMIRE: I am not nearly as enamored of “The Artist” as Dave is. I think it’s a very lovingly crafted, meticulously de-tailed gimmick. It’s sweet but it drags; the dog is the best part. But everyone in this town is clinging to the nostalgia this fi lm offers, pining for the moment in history that it captures, so I’m just going to have to surrender to the jug-gernaut and acknowl-edge that it’s going to win best picture. For a little while last year, it looked
like “The Descendants” was your front-runner; many consider it Alexan-der Payne’s best fi lm. If it were up to me, “The Tree of Life” would win; Ter-rence Malick’s gorgeous meditation on the origin of the universe is the real accomplishment here — gorgeous, ambitious and challenging. I’m just happy it was nominated. “Hugo,” Martin Scors-ese’s fi rst fi lm in beauti-fully immersive 3-D, is a great visual achievement and should do well in the technical categories (it leads all fi lms with 11 nominations). The heavy-handed “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” doesn’t even belong here.
Best Director
Nominees: Michel Ha-zanavicius, “The Artist”; Alexander Payne, “The Descendants”; Martin Scorsese, “Hugo”; Woody Allen, “Midnight in Par-is”; Terrence Malick, “The Tree of Life.”
GERMAIN: At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Kristen Wiig and her “Bridesmaids” co-stars Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy came up with a funny drinking game involving the last name of Martin Scorsese, whose pronunciation they hilariously debated. Good thing awards season has given presenters plenty of chances to practice pronouncing the name of the directing front-runner Scorsese’s up against. Mi-chel Hazanavicius (ha-zahn-a-VISH’-us) has gone from solid success at home in France with his “OSS 117” spy romps to in-ternational innovator for his crazy little idea to res-urrect the silent fi lm. Ha-zanavicius came up with a lovely story lovingly told,
combining sumptuous music, stylish costumes, gorgeous black-and-white images and only the barest whisper of spoken dialogue into an experi-ence that’s nothing short of transporting. Charles Chaplin continued mak-ing silent fi lms well into the sound era, and Mel Brooks scored a comic hit with his spoof “Silent Movie.” But no fi lmmak-er of modern times re-ally took silence seriously until Hazanavicius, who bucked every trend of kaleidoscopic color, ear-shattering sound and dig-itized 3-D visual spectacle to make old Hollywood fresh and new again. For that, and for the great fi lm he made, he’ll get his Os-car.
Best Actor
Nominees: Demian Bichir, “A Better Life”; George Clooney, “The Descendants”; Jean Du-jardin, “The Artist”; Gary Oldman, “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”; Brad Pitt, “Moneyball.”
LEMIRE: A month ago, I would have picked George Clooney to win this. His performance as a father struggling to raise his two daughters while their mother is in a coma — while also accepting the revelation that she’s been having an affair and deciding how to handle an important land deal that will alter his family’s royal Hawaiian legacy — felt like a rare regular-guy role. He was fi nally an or-dinary, middle-aged man dealing with ordinary, middle-aged problems, and it’s some of the best work of his eclectic, ster-ling career. But then Jean Dujardin won the Screen Actors Guild Award for best actor — beating
Clooney, among others — and the tidal wave of love that showered over him that night was an in-dication that this town is fi rmly behind “The Artist” in every way. It is an im-pressive performance in a demanding role, and Du-jardin is charming; he’s got this young Gene-Kelly thing going. And so a win for Dujardin will be part of a big night for this little movie. (For the record, I’d love to see Brad Pitt win. His performance in “Moneyball” allows him to show everything he can do, and he’s due.)
Best Actress
Nominees: Glenn Close, “Albert Nobbs”; Viola Davis, “The Help”; Rooney Mara, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”; Meryl Streep, “The Iron Lady”; Michelle Williams, “My Week With Marilyn.”
GERMAIN: It’ll be sad to see Meryl Streep go home a loser again. The performer with a record 17 acting nominations has won twice, but it’s been 29 years since her last victory, and Streep’s impeccable transforma-tion into former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher looked like her best shot for a third Os-car. Likewise, Michelle Williams’ remarkable embodiment of Mari-lyn Monroe is her own best chance after three nominations and an op-portunity for Hollywood to pay some respect-by-association to Monroe, who never was nominat-ed for an Oscar herself. But Viola Davis will mop up Sunday night. Davis, Streep’s co-star and fel-low nominee for 2008’s “Doubt,” brings bound-less grace, humor, fi erce-ness and resilience to her
role as a black maid in the 1960s Deep South who joins other housekeep-ers in sharing tales of life with their haughty, racist white employers.
Best Supporting Actor
Nominees: Kenneth Branagh, “My Week With Marilyn”; Jonah Hill, “Moneyball”; Nick Nolte, “Warrior”; Christopher Plummer, “Beginners”; Max von Sydow, “Ex-tremely Loud & Incred-ibly Close.”
GERMAIN: When Christopher Plummer was quoting “Hamlet” in the “original Klingon” 20 years ago in “Star Trek: The Undiscovered Coun-try,” the esteemed Shake-spearean actor clearly had a grand time hamming up the Bard in outer space. Yet with Plummer’s bumpy Klingon cranium and eye-patch riveted to his skull, he looked like a guy resigned never to earn his critical due in Hollywood. After a nearly 60-year career that in-cludes roles in such Oscar winners and contenders as “The Sound of Mu-sic,” ‘’The Insider” and “A Beautiful Mind,” Plum-mer fi nally picked up his fi rst Oscar nomination two years ago as Leo Tol-stoy in “The Last Station.” At 82, Plummer is set to become the oldest acting winner ever for “Begin-ners,” a down-to-earth role that’s worlds away from the Klingon em-pire. Plummer is joyously genuine as a widower who lived the lie of straight family man most of his life but comes out as gay for a few twilight years of fun, frolic and fi nally con-necting with the son who never really knew him growing up.

A Special Supplement to the Daily Corinthian | February 2012
2C • Sunday, February 26, 2012 • Daily Corinthian
With consumers getting into a buying mood and a family milestone coming up, 2012 is shaping up to be a big year for the Brose family and Brose Auto-plex.
“This summer marks 35 years,” said Grant Brose, president of the dealer-ship at South Parkway and Highway 72. “It’s been a fun ride through the years to see all the technology and design changes and safety features that have come along.”
The business’ roots trace to 1977, when Mar-vin Brose purchased a dealership in southern Ohio.
When he began search-ing for a new place to build a business, he was drawn to Corinth’s size and potential for growth. In 1987, he and his sons, Greg and Grant Brose, opened the current loca-tion as a General Motors dealership.
The Brose family is deeply involved in day-to-day operations, striving to give customers the best experience while also be-ing good neighbors in the community.
Most importantly, said Brose, “This is a people business.”
Brose has seen car sales increasing in re-cent months even as the recession lingers. Busi-ness picked up in 2011, and January and Febru-ary have been very strong months at the autoplex as customers satisfy some of the pent-up demand.
“There are more old cars on the road than ever before,” said Brose. “A lot of people did not buy be-cause of the economy. But consumer confi dence is rebounding, especially in our area.”
Now that some of those nervous jitters about buy-ing have passed, Brose has much to offer folks
who are ready for a new or newer set of wheels with the Nissan, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler lines.
“We’ve got the all-new Dodge Dart coming around in late May or early June,” said Brose. “It’s a groundbreaking new mid-size car that will blend the Alpha Romeo styling with the Dodge performance. It’s just a
really cool-looking car.”Also look for an all-new
version of the popular Nissan Pathfi nder in the fall.
The redesigned Nissan Versa sedan has been a big hit, and the Nissan Juke that debuted in 2011 continues to be hot.
The Nissan Altima, with its recently refreshed contours, is a perennial
bestseller.Another big addition
to the lot is the avail-ability for the fi rst time of Nissan certifi ed pre-owned vehicles, offering car buyers the option of late-model vehicles that usually have special fi -nancing. They include an 84-month/100,000-mile limited warranty. Also soon to be available
at Brose are Chrysler and Dodge certifi ed pre-owned vehicles.
Technology improve-ments, particularly Blue-tooth hands-free phone capability, continue to appear in more models. Brose expects that trend to escalate as states and the federal government look at restrictions on texting and phone usage behind the wheel.
“At fi rst glance, it may just seem like a gadget, but it’s a huge safety fea-ture, just like the back-up camera,” he said. “We’re going to be stocking more new models with that.”
For folks looking to sell a used vehicle, the dealer-ship offers the Brose Re-sale program, which takes the hassle out of dealing with legal documents and scheduling visits with po-tential buyers. With the resale program, the vehi-cle is parked on the lot for browsing along with all of Brose’s inventory, and it can also be listed on the web.
“It’s a real good alterna-
tive to putting one in the shopper and dealing with all the phone calls,” said Brose.
While the program has helped people sell auto-mobiles, it has also seen success with motorcycles and even some motor homes recently.
The dealership’s ser-vice department is staffed with factory-trained tech-nicians who are knowl-edgeable of the latest in automotive technology and ready to take care of anything from a routine oil change to the most complicated repairs. Look no further for hard-to-fi nd parts with a full line available for all Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Nissan vehicles.
The service and parts department offers an ac-cessory and NASCAR area with collectibles such as hats, posters and collect-ible cars, and accessories such as an assortment of bed liners, bug shields and bed rails.
Some improvements are coming for the Brose website, broseautoplex.com, which continues to draw shoppers from the tri-state area and be-yond. More descriptive listings will be provided to improve the ability to compare and shop for vehicles. In addition to browsing the new and pre-owned inventory from the comfort of home, visitors may submit credit applications and employ-ment applications via the website.
Staff includes Greg Brose, service manager; Eric Brose, parts man-ager; Mike Dooley, sales manager; Jordan East, Internet manager and used car manager; Mi-chael Brose, Internet manager; Clyster Wat-kins, offi ce manager; and Harold Hutchison, fi -nance manager.
Brose Autoplex — ‘This is a people business’
The popular Nissan Pathfinder is getting a sleek overhaul. Look for the new version this fall.
The Dodge Dart is a hot new model set to hit the Brose Autoplex lot this spring.

Trinity Health Clinic opened its doors under the ownership of Cyn-thia Pearson, ANP-BC, FNP-BC in November of 2008. Managed by Lister Healthcare Inc., Florence, Ala., Trinity’s specialty has been providing high-quality healthcare with a personal touch. Patient-centered care focused on both treating problems and improving quality of life has been the ongoing goal of Pearson and her staff.
Pearson emphasizes her commitment along with her staff’s: “Since opening, we have seen our practice grow each year. Our goal for 2012 is to continue to provide our patients with the very best healthcare pos-sible on an individual ba-sis, with attention to the
“whole” person . . . body, mind and spirit.”
Trinity’s owner moved to Corinth in 1995 after 15 years of experience in critical care nursing to be-gin her nurse practitioner practice with an estab-lished local physician.
“After 13 years of col-laborative practice, I felt the desire to set out on my own; to continue wherev-er God led me,” Pearson said. “So stepping out on faith and with the support of Lister Healthcare and many friends, Trinity was born.”
As an advanced prac-tice nurse, Pearson focus-es on providing high qual-ity healthcare through the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of health problems.
“NP’s are unique in that we stress both ‘care’ and
‘cure,’ she explained. “We are ‘partners in health’ who stress wise health and lifestyle choices. I provide access to care to those who might otherwise fall through the cracks of to-day’s healthcare system. My experience in health-care, genuine care of oth-ers, and especially, my faith in God, places me in a unique position to pro-vide healthcare, comfort, support and hope to those I serve.”
Pearson said she works with some of the fi nest primary care and special-ist physicians in the state to provide consultation and support for her pa-tient when needed.
“Each patient is unique in their problems and con-cerns, but similar in what they need — care for their mind, body and spirit.”
Trinity Health Clinic: Caring for you . . . body, mind and spirit
In November of 2009, a local pharmacist and her businessman husband noticed a need in Corinth and Alcorn County.
They established Med Supply Plus in order to provide local, profession-al, and caring service to patients in need of home medical equipment.
More than two years and a couple thousand patients later, their repu-tation is solidly taking shape.
“One of the things that our team is most proud of is the fact that 100% of our Medicare patients would choose us again if they had it to do over,” said Ronnie Sleeper, own-er and Administrator of the upstart medical sup-ply company. “Accord-ing to our surveys, our patients really appreciate the high level of service our team provides – from respiratory services to or-thotic shoes and braces, to complete home equip-ment needs.”
“We are also proud of the fact that 100% of our ownership and all of our team members are from the Corinth/Alcorn County area. I think that is important, because we are treating our friends, our family members, our church folks, grandpar-ents of our kids’ friends, etc. I love the fact that I can meet my patient on the street and I don’t have to turn my head and hide, because I know we’ve done right by everyone we have served!” said Sleeper.
Med Supply Plus is a comprehensive provider of home medical equip-ment.
They provide home hos-pital beds, oxygen con-centrators, CPAP therapy, aids for daily living like shower chairs, bedside commodes, crutches, walkers, wheelchairs and canes.
But according to Natalie Sleeper, owner and staff pharmacist, “We provide so much more than the equipment alone. We like to think that we provide comfort, peace of mind, and security. With every-thing that is usually going
on in a patient’s life, espe-cially if they are fi ghting a serious illness, we want to be a partner in their treat-ment – not a source of ir-ritation.”
“Our staff is well trained in the areas of medical specialty to which they
belong. But they are also well trained on the art of customer service. And we hire kind, caring peo-ple from the start, so we don’t have to teach them that. It comes naturally for them,” Ronnie added. “It’s nice having a team
that I know has my pa-tient’s needs in mind fi rst. In fact, that is our creed – Patient First.”
“One of our home health partners called us on a Sunday night, need-ing a full home setup for their patient who had been sent home for his fi -nal hours with his family.
We delivered a full set-up to their home at 9:00 that night and unfortu-nately were called back two days later to pick it all back up. He had passed away, but the family was so grateful for the com-fort we helped provide their loved one in his fi nal hours. That is why we do this – for the gratifi cation of knowing we helped a neighbor in need,” said Ronnie.
One of their most rap-idly growing areas of ser-vice is in post-mastecto-my care for breast cancer patients.
They offer a wide vari-ety of post-surgical gar-ments, ranging from bras and compression gar-ments, to swimsuits and lingerie.
“We work really hard to restore a woman’s confi dence following the trauma of mastectomy surgery,” said Korey Frosinotes, Patient Care Coordinator and one of two of Med Supply Plus’s mastectomy fi tters.
“Absolutely. We see ourselves as partners, walking down the road
to recovery with our pa-tients, who quickly be-come our friends,” added Natalie Kelley, Med Sup-ply Plus’s certifi ed orthot-ic fi tter. Med Supply Plus has recently piloted an in-home mastectomy fi tting service as well.
“We are fi nding that some women are more comfortable being mea-sured and fi tted for these prosthetic forms in the comfort of their home, rather than in our store’s dressing room. We are constantly seeking ways to make them more com-fortable and confi dent in their recovery, so if we need to go to them, that’s what we’ll do,” said Frosi-notes.
“But our services aren’t limited to older patients, either. We provide equip-ment for children, includ-ing photolight therapy, nebulizers, children’s upright walkers, trainers and wheelchairs, and cast shoes. We pride ourselves in our vast product offer-ing, but more so in our patient-friendly customer service!” added Sleeper.
Ronnie concluded, “I am very big into shopping locally. I fi rmly believe we should support our locally owned businesses FIRST! As one of those business-es in the healthcare sec-tor, I hope patients will consider US when choos-ing their equipment com-pany. We are local people, serving local families!”

Since 1947, Mississippi Farm Bureau has been offering their members of the state top quality in-surance services provided by friendly local people who will be there when you need them.
Mississippi Farm Bu-reau is part of the commu-nity - yesterday, today and tomorrow. The offi ces are staffed with knowledge-able insurance profession-als who are prepared to make sure every member gets the coverage they need at a price they can afford with the kind of top notch service they deserve.
Alcorn County Agency Manager Danny Crozier said they offer a com-plete, complimentary in-surance review. The free of charge service allows people to sit down with an agent and take a care-
ful look at the coverage they have for life, auto, homeowners and other aspects of their fi nancial program and make sure they are fully protected and that they are getting the best possible rates.
They are also focusing on auto insurance plans that can save customers up to 51 percent on the coverage.
Farm Bureau offers a full range of insurance coverages to protect the people and things that matter most in life, including life insurance, homeowners insurance, auto insurance and much more.
Crozier said the key to the Farm Bureau ap-proach to their business is the focus on serving the customer. It’s all about knowing the people they
serve and being there for them whatever their need may be.
“It’s about that personal interaction. People want to talk to a person,” he said.
The local offi ce is staffed with local agents who are there when cus-tomers want to walk in, sit down and talk to them about their needs. The customer is not going to get an answering service or someone in a far away offi ce when they call, they are going to be able to talk to the people in their community who under-stand their needs and are there to make sure they are taken care of.
To fi nd out what this team of friendly profes-sionals can do for you, call them at 662-286-6329 or visit the offi ce at 517 North Cass Street in Corinth.

“If I can make them smile, that’s the thing,” LipChic owner Brenda Bar-bour says of her customers. “We want to make them happy when they come in.”
Customers of the downtown Corinth boutique have plenty reasons to smile. From formal wear for a little girl’s fi rst pag-eant to designer clothing and accessories for ladies of any age, LipChic is a one-stop fashion shop for any event.
“If a lady has an event, she can come here and get her entire outfi t,” says Barbour.
The boutique carries a wide-range of ladies’ clothing, accessories,
shoes, undergarments, control garments and much more.
One of LipChic’s most popular lines is its exten-sive selection of ladies’ western boots, including Corral and Old Gringo brand.
From its humble be-ginnings as a makeover booth in a Corinth fl ea
market to the store’s current beautifully-deco-rated downtown headquarters — which continues to expand — Lip-Chic stays on top of what’s hot in the world of fash-ion. That’s why its loyal customers call LipChic “the bling store.”
Its new addi-tions include a section for men’s tuxedos which benefi ts from the
knowledge and care of tuxedo specialist (and co-owner) Jerry Barbour.
Also new is the oppor-tunity to shop online at lipchicboutique.com.
For personal service and unique apparel, LipChic is the place for fashion connoisseurs who won’t settle for less than extraordinary.

“Distinctively Person-alized Banking… With A Touch of Southern Hospitality.”
Living up to that slogan every day has been the key to SOUTHBank’s success in Corinth.
Bank President Ger-ald McLemore said the bank’s friendly staff is one of its biggest assets.
“We’ve got a real, true family who works together here, and it’s just a great place to work,” he said.
McLemore has been at SOUTHBank for 16 years and said he “wouldn’t go back and change a thing.”
SOUTHBank initially operated from the prin-cipal offi ce of Fidelity Federal at 303 North Madison Street, but in February 1991, purchased the vacated Post Offi ce building in downtown Corinth at 515 Fillmore Street. The renovations of this historic building were completed in Sep-tember 1993 and it is now the home for SOUTH-Bank. This building is an outstanding facility in the heart of downtown Corinth and is in close proximity to the other fi nancial institutions of this community.
“It’s a wonderful place to come to work every day,” said McLemore.
Construction of this U.S. Post Offi ce build-ing began in 1912, and the building is turning 100 this year. It was used continuously by the U.S. Postal Service as the main post offi ce for Corinth until 1987, when this historic build-ing was vacated for a new, modern facility fi ve blocks east of the original location.
Fire gutted the original building in 1924, when
downtown Corinth was almost leveled by fi re. Initially, the lobby of the building had Palladian windows and cathedral ceilings. In 1929, the exte-rior door facing Fillmore Street was relocated to the center of that side of the building and second fl oor offi ces were added inside the building, along with a marble staircase.
Over the years, the Palladian windows and cathedral ceilings in the lobby were replaced with fl at ceilings and wrought iron which remain part of the building today. This building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on Jan. 29, 1992.
Presently, SOUTH-Bank has offi ces in Mississippi (Corinth and Oxford), Arkansas (Blytheville, Manila, and Osceola), Alabama (Huntsville and Madi-son), North Carolina (Raleigh), Tennessee (Selmer) and Florida (Palm Beach Gardens).
SOUTHBank is owned by Commonwealth Savingshares, a holding company, whose sole and only stockholder is Danny L. Wiginton, a Belmont native.
The current staff at the Corinth branches include the following of-fi cers: Gerald McLemore, President of Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas Offi ces; Ron Herrington, City President; Pat Ja-cobs, Senior Vice Presi-dent/Mortgage Loans; Brian McCullen, Senior Vice President/Lending; Braddock Brawner, Vice President/ Senior Lend-er; Peggy Gurley, Vice President/Teller Supervi-sor; Sheron Tennyson, Vice President/Harper Road Branch Manager; Jan Hurley, Vice Presi-dent/Marketing; Ricky Howie, Vice President of Operations; Rusty Sharp, Senior Vice President of Operations; and the following employees: An-drea Boren, Cassie Tay-lor, Dawn Carter, Emily Norton, Gloria Johnson, Kayla Nelms, Liz Fields, Leigh Ann Hammock, Pam Scott, Peggy Moore, Priscilla Brock and Te-resa Benick.
The Advisory Board Members for the Corinth area are: William C. Hussey, A.H. Taylor, III; Gerald R. McLemore; William T. Dalton, Jr.; Dr. Bernard Shipp and Danny L. Wiginton.
SOUTHBank lives up to its slogan: ‘Distinctively Personalized Banking… With A Touch of Southern Hospitality.”

Medical Plaza on Harper is Corinth’s new-est independently owned pharmacy. In a conve-nient location with two drive-thru lanes, Medical Plaza on Harper wants to help you and your family have a better quality of life.
Pharmacist Bart Doran wants to help Medical Plaza on Harper pa-tients comply with their doctors’ orders — and will work to fi nd ways to help their patients save money. They accept most insurance plans and offer a discount prescrip-tion plan for patients without insurance.
Medical Plaza on Harper opened in November 2011. It is the newest of the three independent pharmacies owned by pharmacist Rick Quinn.
“With two locations on Alcorn Drive, we recog-nized a need for expan-sion into the east side of Corinth,” explained pharmacist Becky Null. “There was a small lot on Harper Road that turned out to be an ideal loca-tion.”
The small, oddly shaped lot proved to be a challenge as far as local building codes. That’s where local design-build-er, Worsham Brothers, Inc. came in.
The vision for the building itself was to develop a structure that would incorporate all of the necessary spaces for both the pharmacy work area and the retail part of the building, while maximizing the usable space and energy effi ciency. The building features stained and pol-
ished concrete fl oors and an eighteen foot tall clear story space that allows a fl ood of natural light. Neighboring architecture was also a consideration in the design of the building.
“We wanted a retail environment that would be comfortable and invit-ing,” Null said.
Medical Plaza on Harper is a HealthMart Pharmacy. Its staff strives to give each patient individualized service while working to live up to the HealthMart motto: “Caring for you and about you.”
Another convenient as-pect of Medical Plaza on Harper is its extensive selection of unique gifts for everyone on your list: men, ladies, children, babies, teachers, secret pals and brides. Medical
Plaza personnel work hard to make their gift selection fresh and excit-ing.
“We search through the gift markets in order to keep the latest gifts,” Null said. “We are con-stantly bringing in new products.”
The business also of-fers free gift wrapping.
When planning for the new Medical Plaza location, they needed a special feature that would increase foot traf-fi c and help fulfi ll their goal to bring health and wellness to Corinth.
“We originally planned for the yogurt area to be a coffee shop,” Null said. “Realizing that we could reach more people with frozen yogurt, Goose-berry Frozen Yogurt was born.”
Many people do not
realize the health ben-efi ts of frozen yogurt. It contains probiotics that aid in digestive health and help to replace the healthy bacteria in your digestive tract.
Gooseberry Frozen Yogurt offers Arkansas-made Honey Hills frozen yogurt. All selections are either non-fat or low-fat, with several sugar-free fl avors. Nutritional in-formation on all fl avors is available inside the yogurt shop.
Customers can choose from over three-dozen toppings. Fresh strawber-ries, kiwi, blueberries, bananas and other fruits are available each day on the “cold bar.” Almonds, pecans, walnuts and pea-nuts are available for top-pings — as well assorted candies, cereals, granola, sprinkles, hot caramel
and hot fudge.Free samples of all the
yogurt shop’s fl avors are available to help custom-ers choose just the right one.
After customers pick their selection and top it however they like, the yogurt is weighed and priced by the ounce.
Located at 1425 South Harper Road, Medical Plaza on Harper is open Monday through Satur-day from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Hours will vary for Gooseberry Frozen Yogurt. “Like” them on Facebook for updates on store hours. Extended hours are coming soon.
Visit the two other locations: Medical Plaza Pharmacy at 111 Alcorn Drive; and Prescription Shoppe at 504 Alcorn Drive.

Linda Woodruff believes in going the distance for custom-ers.
“Customer service is key to them coming back to your store,” said Woodruff, who owns Sears along with husband Danny. “We are always going to be upfront with customers and look for ways to help them.”
The Woodruffs, nearing their fi fth anniversary as owners of the store, have changed the atmosphere of the local Sears since purchasing the store ac-cording to Linda.
“I love to help people and share with them what is the best item for them,” said Linda. “When they are happy, they will be back again.”
Sears carries a big selection of Kenmore and all major brand appliances.
“We sell more Kenmore than any other brand,” said the own-er.
The store is gearing up for spring and summer with a huge variety of lawn and gar-den equipment. Woodruff says the store just received the new
Craftman Zero Turn mower and has weed eaters, garden til-lers ready for the season.
Sears can fi ll the summer sea-son needs of individuals with Kenmore grills along with patio furniture.
“We carry most things the big store has,” said Woodruff.
If they don’t have it in the store, customers shouldn’t fret because they can get it.
“If a customer sees something on sears.com, all they have to do is let us know and we can save them shipping and han-dling,” added the store owner.
Woodruff says the store uses
its Solution Stations every day fi nding items for customers.
Something new for the store is Shop Your Way Rewards, also known as The New Craft-man Club. Customers compile reward points when they pur-chase any store item.
“Not only does it build up re-ward points but discounts on Craftman products during club member days,” said manager
Ashley Nunley.Open Monday-Saturday from
9 a.m. until 7 p.m. and from 1-6 p.m. on Sunday, Sears also of-fers a delivery service.
“We are a family business that is concerned about the cus-tomer,” said Woodruff.

On November 3, 1911, Billy Durant and Louis Chevrolet founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. This year, Chevrolet celebrates one hundred and one years. From the very start, Chev-rolet brought technology and features typically re-served for more expensive cars to its lineup of afford-able cars and trucks.
In 1918, Chevrolet’s fi rst truck was introduced. In Corinth, the fi rst Chev-rolet trucks documented on fi lm were spotted in the mid-to-late 1920’s. A photo shows several Chevys pulling huge logs on trailers around the historic downtown court square.
In the 1930’s, a Chevro-let dealership was located in downtown Corinth on Fillmore Street in the same building where KC’s Espresso is located today. The dealership served as the area hub for Chevrolet sales, service and parts.
Today, Crossroads Chevrolet Buick GMC, lo-cated at 1701Highway 72 East in Corinth, is proud to carry on the Chevrolet heritage. The electrically driven Volt leads Chevro-let into its second century and redefi nes what a car means. It is the world’s fi rst mass-produced elec-tric vehicle with an ex-tended range, providing up to 379 miles of driving.
The forward-looking philosophy that nur-tured Volt from concept to production is also re-sponsible for the Equi-nox and Cruze. Similarly, the Camaro continue a six-decade heritage of of-fering high-performance values, bringing advanced technology to affordable sports cars.
Meanwhile, the Silvera-do still carries the badge of the longest lasting,
most dependable truck on the road.
Cruze, Sonic and Spark are products of Chevro-let’s growing global pres-ence. Shared develop-ment procedures with engineering and design centers around the globe, help deliver better per-forming, safer and more effi cient vehicles. The Cruze, for example, offers a segment-leading EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 43 mpg.
“Chevrolet is all I’ve ever known,” said Jeff Smith, dealer/owner along with his wife, Bren-da. “I got started in the business in 1985, selling Chevrolets. “
Crossroads Chevrolet Buick GMC not only pro-vides sales, service and parts all makes and mod-els of vehicles. Smith has been at the facility since its opening in September, 2006. The Smiths took full ownership of the busi-ness in January, 2009
after the retirement of Brenda’s father, Frankie Blackmon.
“Walk in the dealership on any day and you’ll fi nd a bright red, 1937 Chev-rolet slant back coupe sitting on the showroom fl oor … what a beautiful Chevrolet,” noted Smith. “Around here, heritage is second only to our com-mitment to customer ser-vice and the community.”
Crossroads Chevrolet Buick GMC stays active in the community by tak-ing part in local festivals, charities and events. This past Christmas marked the second year in a row the dealership has hosted a toy drive for Toys for Tots.
The dealership will also continue several popular customer promotions, in-cluding a successful pro-motion where four lucky people win $500 each during a four-day period several times a year, ex-plained the owner.
“From Chevy heritage to our loyal customers, we truly do go the extra mile in everything we do,” he added.
With over 500 com-bined years of experi-ence, Crossroads Chev-rolet Buick GMC staff includes: Jeff and Brenda Smith, owners; Gerald Burgess, General Man-ager; Dewayne Clayton, General Sales Manager; Bill Gray, Finance Man-ager; Zack Steen, IT/In-ventory Manager; Rob-bie Grosinske, Internet Sales Consultant; Russ Rakestraw, Internet Sales Consultant; Jody Weaver, Sales Consultant; Joe Moore, Sales Consultant; Brandon Gurley, Sales Consultant; Kathy Smith, Sales Consultant; Cody Parker, Sales Consultant; Kellie Gates, Offi ce Man-ager; Amy Southern, Title Clerk; Brittney Carter, Accounts Payable; Steve Ausburn, Parts Manager; Larry Taylor, Parts Con-

Last year at Garrett Eye Clinic was a very busy year for Dr. Jennifer Hussey Garrett, person-ally and professionally.
Personally, she gave birth to her second son, Jackson Harris Garrett, on April 1, 2011. Numer-ous patients, family, and friends jokingly ques-tioned why she would choose April Fool’s Day to give birth to her son.
“It is so diffi cult to be a female physician and balance the demands of practicing medicine with the responsibilities of raising a family,” said Garrett. “I have a duty as a medical doctor to take emergency room call at Magnolia Regional Health Center every third week. I was off call for the fi rst two weeks of April which was near my original due date.”
Professionally, 2011 was the busiest year Garrett Eye Clinic has had since Dr. Garrett began practic-
ing almost seven years ago, despite her being on maternity leave for nearly two months.
Signifi cant increases in the number of refractive surgeries performed, an increased patient load and a full service optical dis-pensary have all contrib-uted to the overall success of Garrett Eye Clinic. One type of refractive surgery, Z-LASIK, which is com-monly known as bladeless LASIK, uses a Da Vinci series FEMTO second laser to gently make a thin fl ap in the cornea to begin the corrective procedure. This technique allows Dr. Garrett to make a fl ap following the natural curvature of the eye.
Traditional LASIK, another type of refractive surgery, was originally introduced to the cross-roads area by Dr. Garrett in 2006. This technique uses a microkeratome (metal razor-like blade) to make a thicker fl ap in the cornea-similar to a can
opener. In the fall of 2010, Garrett began perform-ing Z-LASIK. In 2011, she performed Z-LASIK
almost exclu-sively.
“I was excited to offer the latest, safest tech-nique for
performing corrective sur-gery for my patients,” said Garrett.
The FDA is currently testing FEMTO second lasers to be utilized in cataract surgery.
Dr. Garrett feels that building an offi ce in a residential area has had a big impact on her success.
“I feel truly blessed when the people of Corinth and the sur-rounding area trust in me to care for their eyes,” she said.
She admits that some-times her clinic has struggled to get everyone out in a timely manner due to the increased pa-tient load.
“I will not sacrifi ce the amount of time needed to provide the appropri-ate care for my patients; however, we realize that the patient’s time is just as important as ours. I can assure you measures are being put in place to help limit the patient’s wait time,” explained Dr. Garrett,
Garrett Eye Clinic began implementing elec-tronic medical charts dur-ing her maternity leave last April. Dr. Garrett feels that this will help improve the time spent on documenting each patient’s visit which will help the overall effi ciency of patient fl ow.
Another type of surgery Dr. Garrett performs is cataract surgery. For several decades there weren’t many advances
in this procedure. In recent years, however, when a patient needs cataract surgery, there are two exciting medi-cal breakthroughs that can signifi cantly improve a patient’s quality of life. First, is called toric IOL(Intraocular Lens). This corrects a patient’s astigmatism which can fi x the need for a patient to wear glasses when trying to see at a distance.
The other type is a mul-tifocal IOL (Intraocular lens). This can eliminate the need for a patient to wear glasses while driving , working on a computer, or reading the newspaper. Patients have been very happy with both types of lenses.
Lenard Hopkins, a local businessman, chose to have the multifocal lens inserted in the spring of 2011. “She is the best I’ve ever seen. I’ve been to ev-erybody…here, Memphis and everywhere else. She got me where I can read
the newspaper without any glasses, just like when I was 10 years old,” said Hopkins.
Another service avail-able at Garrett Eye Clinic is the optical dispensary.
Patients can select fashionable frames from brand names such as Coach, Gucci, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, and many others. Dr. Garrett also carries premium sun-glasses from Costa Del Mar, Maui Jim, Oakley, Ray Ban, Callaway. The majority of these styles are available in prescrip-tion. She also has frames for the budget-minded individual as well.
Dr. Garrett also diagno-ses and treats glaucoma, macular degeneration, allergies, and dry eyes, as well as prescribing glasses and contact lenses.
For an appointment, call 662-212-9001. She is conveniently located at 1804 Shiloh Road in Corinth.

Dr. Jennifer Garrett
One type of refractive surgery, Z-LASIK, which is commonly known as bladeless LASIK, uses a Da Vinci series FEMTO second laser to gently make a thin flap in the cornea to begin the corrective procedure. This technique allows Dr. Garrett to make a flap following the natural curvature of the eye.
Keeping the customer fi rst has kept Gardner’s Super Market in busi-ness for almost 50 years.
The super market — in its 47th year — contin-ues to strive in making things better for its patrons.
“We have very loyal customers,” said man-ager Mark Gardner. “We wouldn’t be here without the support of the com-munity and surrounding area.”
Gardner’s has added warehouse space which allows them to keep prices down for the cus-tomer.
“We try hard to pro-vide friendly and cour-teous service,” said the manager.
Gardner’s has made several improvements over the last couple of years. The super market has installed new check-out stands and added new buggies. Gardner’s continues to provide the service of sacking each purchase by customers and taking them to their
vehicle — rain or shine.The meat department
also added sliced-to-or-der deli meats along with special cut steaks, roasts, chops and other meats over the past two years.
“Our produce and meat department are the fi nest around,” said Gardner.

For more than 54 years, Taylor Heating & Air Conditioning has kept Corinth area residents comfortably cool in the summer and wonderfully warm in the winter.
Billy P. Taylor started the business with Carrier in 1958. It is now owned by his sons, Joel, Dennis and Dan.
As Corinth has grown through the years, the business has grown from a two-man operation to a staff of 14. Taylor Heat-ing & Air performs all op-erations associated with heating and air condition-ing, and the second-gen-eration owners operate the business in a hands-on fashion by personally overseeing daily opera-tions and performing all system design and engi-neering.
No company in the area has more experi-ence when it comes to air, whether heating, cooling, moving, managing, wet-ting, drying or exhaust-ing.
“We do projects from $2,000 to $1 million,” said Dan Taylor.
“One of the most re-cent projects that we’ve done was the Alcorn County Chancery Build-ing. We air conditioned that last summer. We still do a lot of residen-tial new construction and existing residential homes.”
Recent commercial work has included sys-tems at Belk and the Women’s Center.
Taylor said the largest projects the business has done were Crow’s Neck Environmental Educa-tion Center at Paden and the Crossroads Arena in Corinth.
The business’ fl eet of vehicles includes a new 17-ton crane that allows workers to set equipment on roofs safely and effi -ciently.
“All our service trucks or vans are completely outfi tted with parts for Carrier equipment and parts that a lot of times are interchangeable on other brands of equip-ment,” said Taylor.
“In almost 90 percent of the instances, it saves the trip of having to come back to the shop and get the part. Each van is equipped with diagnostic tools, gauges, charging devices, freon removal machines and things of that nature. It’s like a roll-ing shop.
Taylor services the Car-rier units it sells, as well as all HVAC equipment made my other manufac-turers.
“We are even set up to do a warranty service on several brands other that Carrier,” said Taylor.
The factory-trained service technicians are regularly schooled to keep them up to date.
The business is proud of its long association with Carrier, inventor of the air conditioning unit and the world’s largest air conditioning manufac-turer.
“They have a prod-uct that’s been tried and proven,” said Taylor. “With the correct installa-tion, you should have the top of the line as far as the heating and air condition-ing of your home.”
Taylor said homeown-ers and businesses “need to choose a reputable dealer. The piece of equip-ment that you purchase is very important, but the design, the engineering and the installation are equally, if not more, im-portant.”
With proper engineer-ing, a homeowner is as-sured the system will not leave hot or cold spots.
A periodic service check is a good idea.
“It could save you a breakdown in the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter,” said Taylor. “Many times, you’ll fi nd a potential problem and correct it before it gets to be a real problem.”
Technology has brought some changes to
HVAC through the years, but Taylor said air con-ditioning still operates on the same basic prin-ciple — the transfer of heat from an area where it is unwanted to an area where it is more desir-able.
“The technology has changed in that the units are made more effi ciently now,” he said. “The de-sign, the operation, is still pretty much the same since Willis Carrier in-vented the air condition-ing unit.
“One of the changes we’re seeing now is the
federal government is phasing out Refrigerant 22 just as they did Re-frigerant 12 several years ago,” said Taylor.
“They are going to a newer ozone-friendly re-frigerant called R-410A, which Carrier calls Pu-ron. All of the air condi-tioning units made after 2010 will have this new refrigerant.
“They are also, of course, looking at effi -ciency to try to get more bang for the buck and make them where the utility bills will be less ex-pensive.”

Tull Brothers Inc., the Corinth-based distribu-tor of specialty building products, celebrated 50 years of business this month.
The business was founded in 1962 by broth-ers Sam and Ray Tull. What started as a two-man glass installation business has expanded over the years and now employs 105 people. Last year, Tull Brothers did $16 million in business, with a payroll of $4.1 mil-lion.
“It doesn’t feel like we’ve been here for 50 years,” said Sam Tull. “We’ve enjoyed the busi-ness. Corinth and the sur-rounding areas have been good to us.”
The brothers began the venture after serving their
apprenticeship period as glaziers — construction professionals who select, cut, install, replace and remove glass — with the Binswanger Glass Com-pany of Memphis.
While working for Binswanger Glass, the brothers did glass in-stallations at Corinth’s First United Method-ist Church, the Nation-al Bank of Commerce branch offi ce on Shi-loh Road, the Wurlitzer
building and numerous storefront renovations. After spending so much time working in Corinth, they decided it would be a good place to open a busi-ness on their own.
Corinth is also near the brothers’ childhood home near Bethel Springs, Tenn. in McNairy County.
The fi rst Tull Brothers facility was located in the Moses Building, at the corner of U.S. Highway 72 and U.S. 45. Within a year
the had outgrown the building and moved into a different building on Tate Street. The next year they built their current head-quarters on Highway 72 East.
Tull Brothers Inc. con-tinues to expand. It cur-rently occupies almost 200,000 square feet of of-fi ce and warehouse space in Corinth. Tull Brothers Inc. also has offi ces in Tu-pelo, Jackson, Tenn., and Collierville, Tenn.
They specialize in com-mercial glass and glazing; overhead door and mate-rial handling; hollow met-al doors and hardware; industrial maintenance; residential glass and glaz-ing; awning and canopy; and more.
Sam said the business’ operating area is from Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to Mobile, Ala., to Colum-bus, Ohio.
Some of Tull Brothers’ major recent projects in-
clude Center for Ceramics at Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi (designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry); and the new tower at the Mem-phis airport (the third tallest in the nation at 365 feet). They are getting ready for a job installing glass on another airport tower in New Orleans.
As Sam and Ray Tull approach the 50th anni-versary of the founding of their successful business, Tull Brothers remains a family business.
In 1992 Sam bought Ray’s part of the com-pany’s stock. After a brief taste of retirement, Ray returned to the business. Nine Tull family mem-bers are currently in-volved at various levels in Tull Brothers.
Tull Brothers celebrate 50 years of business“It doesn’t feel like we’ve been here for 50 years. We’ve enjoyed the business. Corinth and the surrounding areas
have been good to us.”

The Turn is the place to go for the best 100 percent Black Angus steak in the Crossroads, cooked by one of the area’s most beloved and best known chefs, and so much more.
Located at Shiloh Ridge Golf and Ath-letic Club, The Turn restaurant is owned and operated by Mark Matthews, a new-comer to the restaurant business with a long history in sales and customer ser-vice, who is focused on making sure ev-ery customer gets a great meal in a com-fortable, friendly atmosphere.
The kitchen at The Turn is helmed by Chef Ben Betts, a fi xture on the Corinth culinary scene for 35 years.
Matthews said the aim at The Turn is to serve classic American style food made with the highest quality ingredi-ents and served in a semi-upscale, com-fortable atmosphere.
The high quality ingredients going into the meals served at The Turn in-clude 100 percent Black Angus beef, the restaurant’s signature item. Betts cooks the high quality beef up in the form of steaks and his legendary prime rib.
Matthews said a lot of places claim to serve only 100 percent Black Angus, but
not many put effort into actually doing it.“We can prove it,” he said.Their other most popular dish is Cat-fi sh Creole, a catfi sh fi let either black-ened fried or pan seared and served on a bed of Cheddar Gouda grits.
The restaurant also offers a lunch buf-fet on Sundays featuring 18 freshly made items sure to please any tastes.
The Turn is currently open for lunch and dinner on Thursday and Friday, dinner on Saturday night and lunch on Sunday. After spring break during the second week of March, they’ll add Tues-day and Wednesday dinner and lunch and a sandwich counter lunch for golfers at the club on Saturdays.
The end of March will also bring fresh seafood night on Thursdays with top quality seafood delivered straight from Florida and the Gulf Coast.
With dinner entree prices ranging from $10 to $32, there’s sure to be some-thing to fi t every taste and every budget, making The Turn the perfect place for a casual lunch or dinner with friends or that special romantic night out.
The restaurant also offers catering and banquet space.

Harbin Heating and Air Conditioning has served the Corinth area for more than 20 years and will soon open a new satellite offi ce in Corinth.
In 2002, a fi re took out their Corinth offi ce, but they were back up and running within a few days and never missed a beat in serving Corinth area customers. After the fi re, Harbin established an-other location on High-way 57 in Pickwick.
Kevin Harbin, vice president of the business, said the satellite offi ce is set to open by April at 2682 South Harper Road.
The business employs 15, including trained tech-nicians and installers.
“Our focus is helping people save energy on their utility bills from a residential perspective, from a commercial per-spective and from an in-dustrial perspective,” he said.
Harbin Heating and Air can help customers see savings through mainte-nance contracts and in-novations such as tank-less hot water heaters and geothermal heating and cooling systems.
“Geothermal is a big portion of our commer-cial and residential busi-ness,” said Harbin.
A tax credit is avail-able for homeowners and businesses who choose geothermal.
About geothermal
Here’s how geothermal works: As the seasons change from spring to winter, temperature var-ies throughout the year. Some climates can vary from sweltering sum-mers to freezing winters; Corinth included. But there is a fairly constant temperature, regardless of climate or season, just below the ground.
The Earth’s crust ab-sorbs 47 percent of the sun’s heat (energy) and is maintained in the ground a few feet beneath the surface. WaterFurnace geothermal systems draw from this free heat with an earth loop. This inno-vative technology recov-ers the sun’s heat, supply-ing your home or offi ce with central heating and cooling.
Using the earth loop, a WaterFurnace geother-mal heat pump pulls the heat from the ground in the heating cycle.
The geothermal sys-tem sucks the heat from the loops and delivers this warmed air through a standard duct system. Additional options in-clude using that same heat to provide hot water and radiant fl oor heating are available.
The heating process is reversed in the cool-ing mode — creating cool, conditioned air all through the home. In-stead of extracting heat from the ground, heat is taken from the air in your home and either moved back into the earth loop or used to preheat the wa-ter in your hot water tank.
Taking advantage of geothermal energy to condition your home or business with effi cient, environmentally friendly geothermal power just makes sense, and choos-ing WaterFurnace is a smart way to go “green-er.”
Some other reasons to choose geothermal:
■ The EPA concluded that geothermal energy is the most environmentally friendly heating and cool-ing system available.
■ The U.S. National Renewable Energy Labo-ratory determined that geothermal energy is a cost-effective and more effi cient method of heat-ing and cooling than con-ventional residential sys-tems.
■ Federal, state and lo-cal governments and util-ities offer many rebates and tax incentives which encourage investment in geothermal heating and cooling.
While cost savings and energy usage will vary by region and type of sys-tem a geothermal pump is replacing, a geother-mal solution will usually be more cost-effective, smarter, and certainly a greener alternative.
Geothermal tax credits
The Energy Improve-ment and Extension Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424) al-lows:
■ a one-time tax credit of 30 percent of the total investment for residents who install residential ground loop or ground water geothermal heat pumps, and
■ a one-time tax credit of 10 percent of the total investment for building owners who install a com-mercial geothermal sys-tem.
Qualifying systems are required to meet or ex-ceed EnergyStar require-ments.
Corinth geothermal system owners can fi le for the tax credit by complet-ing the Renewable En-ergy Credits subsection on their federal tax return forms. Geothermal tax credits are only offered through December 2016.

Dr. Erica’s Aesthetic Centers started with a vision: to create a place that had it all, but was still small enough to make customers feel at home, to have a place where one can come for true holistic care; mind, body and spirit, in a beauti-ful, yet casual, Christian environment.
Dr. Erica’s is a one-stop shop for medi-cal, salon, spa and laser treatments. They offer great results and great service from a caring and compassionate staff.
Keeping up with the latest scientifi c advancements, Dr. Erica’s continues to add more technology and procedures as they are released to the public.
New for 2012 from Aveda is their hair straightening treatment. As with all of Aveda products, this is eco and client friendly. There is no formaldehyde in this process. Results can last 10 weeks and the process uses toulamine to help untwist the hair to allow it to relax.
Dr. Erica’s have also altered their pric-ing to help clients’ pocketbooks during this economically diffi cult time.
Dr. Erica’s Aesthetic Center in Corinth is located at 2000 Shiloh Road. They are open weekdays, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and can
be reached at 662-284-9600. Dr. Erica’s Luxury Medi-Spa on Pickwick Lake is open Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., 662-667-0012.

J. Brown’s Trading Company in downtown Corinth offers the best of both worlds — the latest fashions at reasonable prices.
The quality boutique for women is located at 412 East Waldron Street, next to KC’s Expresso.
J. Brown’s offers high fashion clothing for work or evening.
Although certainly customers of all ages are welcome, the boutique’s target customer age is 30 to 50, says owner Jen-nifer Brown who opened the business in October 2010. (Brown’s family has been in business in Corinth over 65 years, having owned Corinth Dry Cleaners).
Brown worked in cor-porate America for the past 11 years where she shopped in high-end bou-tiques when she lived in Colorado and most re-cently Texas.
She liked shopping at such locations as Nord-strom, Neiman Marcus and Anthropologie — and she wanted to bring a taste of such clothing se-lections to the area where she grew up.
“My goal is to bring some of the brands that I and my friends love to our area at reasonable prices,” Brown says.
Some of the fashion lines offered include Not Your Daughters Jeans and Level 99, in addition to Velvet Heart and Pure
Handknit sweaters.Most of J. Brown’s
clothing lines can be de-scribed as “something different” and not even carried in Tupelo, Brown said.
Clothing sizes range from extra small through 3X.
“We carry one line that targets a plus size ... we’re the only store in town that does,” she said.
Jewelry and some gift items are also available, along with accessories such as belts and head-bands to complement any outfi t.
Hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10-5:30 and Saturday from 10-3. The telephone number is (662) 287-2770.

The Corinth Eye Clinic Inc. is using modern tech-nology to open the eyes of patients.
“The bottom line is that technology has changed the way we practice,” said owner Michael Weeden.
One piece of equipment that the clinic has used the past 11 years is the Opto-map. The Optomap retinal exam allows optometrists the ability to scan 80 per-cent of the retina.
Optomap works when the patient places their eye to be photographed up to the instrument and the doctor’s assistant po-sitions the patient for a photograph and takes the picture. The Opto-map captures its image in only 1/4 of a second. The photographer takes two photos and evaluates the images. If the images look good the same thing is re-peated on the second eye.
In some cases the view provided by the Optomap is superior to that of pupil dilation. For example, a patient that is very light sensitive will often refuse to have their pupils di-lated because of the pain they experience.
“Optomap is part of our total comprehensive
exam and I am very proud to have made that invest-ment 11 years ago,” said Dr. Weeden. “It allows you to catch diseases of the eye a lot sooner and that’s better for every-one.”
Another valuable tech-nology piece is the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanner.
The scanner takes 3D pictures of the different layers of your eye, using technology similar to an ultra sound scan. The ret-inal camera used by other opticians only gives a two dimensional image, so the information is not as de-tailed.
“The OCT has revolu-tionized the way to do things,” said the eye doc-tor.
Visioffi ce is another type of equipment that has helped the clinic bet-ter serve its patients. The all-in-one dispensing unit combines a quick and accurate measurement system to obtain all in-dividual patient param-eters required, assistance and advice on selecting a frame as well as infor-mation on various lens designs and value-added features.
Weeden also stressed that the offi ce is only one in Corinth that is capable of making lens in an hour.
The eye doctor has some advice for those with young children.
“Children should have their eyes checked the fi rst year of their life,” he said. “If something is wrong it can be treated sooner if detected at an early stage.”
The optometrist is quick to commend his staff.
“I am really proud of the offi ce staff ... I will put them up against anyone around,” said Weeden of his six full-time employ-ees. “They strive for pa-tient excellence every day and without them this couldn’t be done.”

Business motto: One patient at a time. Vi-sion: Remembering our past, creating our future, navigating the transfor-mation, accepting only excellence. Mission: To provide the highest stan-dard of care…One patient at a time.
Business plan, con-cepts & strategy: Mag-nolia Regional Health Center strives to continue to provide the highest quality healthcare to those in our community and the surrounding communi-ties that we serve. Offer-ing expert medical care in over 27 medical special-ties, including a Heart & Vascular Center, radiol-ogy, cardiology, newly renovated birthing cen-ter, a Women’s Center, Diabetes Center, Cancer Center and more, MRHC allows our patients to re-ceive top-notch care in a state-of-the-art facility close to home.

MRHC is a large com-munity hospital with top-notch technology, facili-ties, expertise, quality of care and comprehensive service lines that you will fi nd in any major city. We offer the highest qual-ity, comprehensive care to our patients, close to home. We reached our goal of achieving 99% in patient satisfaction, ex-panding our continuity of care and service lines of-fered, as well as providing the most advanced treat-ments for patients in our community and the sur-rounding communities that we serve.
What makes peo-ple do business with you? Everything men-tioned above that makes us unique, combined with our commitment to pro-viding service excellence to our patients, one pa-tient at a time. We contin-ue to expand our facility and grow our service lines
in an effort to provide our patients and community with the highest quality care, close to home.
What changes, improvement and/or challenges has your business gone through since 2011? Any plans for the future? Over the past fi scal year, MRHC has made strides to continue to increase the quality of care that we provide to our patients. We were able to reach our goal of achieving 99% in patient satisfaction which inspires us to continu-ously move toward our ultimate goal of pleasing our customers. In 2011, MRHC became a member of the MHCA STEMI Net-work.
Mississippi is mak-ing healthcare history by being the second state in the nation to develop and adopt a state-wide system of care for heart attack patients. Similar to South Carolina’s ef-forts, the protocols for gold standard care for ST elevation myocardial in-farctions (STEMI) were developed through the Mississippi Healthcare Alliance (MHCA). These particular types of heart attacks are the deadliest.
The Alliance, a group of cardiologists, hospital staff specializing in cardi-ac care, emergency medi-cal professionals, and the State Health Department, developed these stan-dardized protocols based on research from the American College of Car-diology and The Ameri-can Heart Association.
In conjunction with ef-forts to promote health and wellness at Magnolia Regional Health Center and within our commu-nity, MRHC became a to-bacco free campus, effec-tive June 1, 2011. MRHC joined hospitals across Mississippi in leading the way to healthier work-sites, communities and a
healthier state.In September 2011,
MRHC became an ac-credited 200-bed acute care facility with the is-suance of a Certifi cate of Need (CON) by the Mis-sissippi State Department of Health (MSDH). Pre-viously licensed for 164 beds, MRHC continues to grow and better serve the healthcare needs of our community by increasing the number of acute care beds available to our pa-tients.
As part of our goal to provide the same level of care for all patients, MRHC completed a ma-jor renovation of our women’s services and birthing center. A sepa-rate fi ve-bed Gynecology Unit was added with new-ly renovated rooms that include showers in each room, big screen TV’s and plenty of room for family and visitors.
A new physician’s lounge was added to the Gynecology Unit and both the exam room for out-patient testing and the nurse’s station were completely renovated. The nursery was expand-ed to include one large room, complete with an extra viewing window with new, state-of-the-art warmers and cribs in cherry oak. The Labor and Delivery Unit has been completely renovated as well, including opening up the nurse’s station and centralizing supplies.
As of February 2012, MRHC has completed the renovation of three of the eight Labor & Deliv-ery rooms. These rooms are used for delivery and post-partum patients. The observation room has been renovated to include individual rooms for pri-vacy of both the patient and family. The Labor and Delivery Unit waiting area has been update to include new plush leather recliners and couches,
two big screen TV’s and window treatments.
In March 2011, MRHC introduced a new cardiac screening program called Vascu-Check. The screen-ing is scheduled through MRHC Medistat Clinic and is a method of pro-viding an assessment of one’s general cardiovas-cular health. Each check will include: EKG & Heart Rate of Pulse, Blood Pres-sure, Body Mass Index (BMI), Ultrasound of the Aorta, Ankle Brachial In-dex (ABI), and Carotid Ultrasound. Vascu-Check is now being offered at a cost of $40 due at time of screening, with no insur-ance billing.
MRHC held its fi rst annual Care Conference for employees, focusing on educating employees about the patient experi-ence and ways in which we can better serve our patients and achieve ser-vice excellence.
MRHC opened the Magnolia Women’s Cen-ter at Walnut in July 2011 and the Magnolia Wom-en’s Center at Corinth in August 2011. The Mag-nolia Women’s Center at Corinth is currently located in a temporary facility at 3714 High-way 72 West, adjacent to the south side of the main Magnolia Regional Health Center campus. The new 8,000-square-foot permanent facility is expected to open in the spring of 2012.
In the past fi scal year, fi ve physicians joined the MRHC team to help us better serve our commu-nity and meet the health-care needs of our patients:
Sami Akram, M.D. Emergency Medicine
Jason Cesario, M.D. OB/GYN
Diane Evans, D.O., M.S. OB/GYN
Baron Herford, D.O. Internal Medicine
Quinisha Logan, M.D. OB/GYN
Any Plans for 2012? Construction began in September 2011 and con-tinues through 2012 to expand and renovate our current facility including a newly constructed radi-ology department, emer-gency department and a centralized registration area. The renovation will also include a new main entrance to the hospital located on the south side of the facility.
John W. Prather, PhD, M.D., F.A.C.C. became a part of the MRHC team with the opening of Mag-nolia Cardiology Associ-ates in January 2012. Dr. Prather will also serve an integral role as teaching faculty for MRHC’s new Cardiology Fellowship program that will begin in June 2012.
The addition of this pro-gram will allow MRHC to further its reputation as a top-notch osteopathic medical education teach-ing facility, by offering prospective medical stu-dents and residents both an Internal Medicine Residency Program and a Cardiology Fellowship Program. David Pizzi-menti, D.O., F.A.C.O.I., currently serves as Direc-tor of Medical Education and Internal Medicine Program Director.
As the number of heart surgeries performed at MRHC continues to grow, Magnolia Cardiovascu-lar and Thoracic Surgery Clinic will welcome Bil-ly D. Parsons, M.D., F. A.C.S., in April 2012.
Dr. Parsons is board certifi ed in both General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery. He received his medical degree from the University of Oklahoma, College of Medicine where he completed residencies in both General Surgery and Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. Dr. Parsons is associated with numerous professional organizations including
the American Medical As-sociation, Society of Tho-racic Surgeons, American College of Surgeons and Southern Thoracic Surgi-cal Association.
The Magnolia Women’s Center at Corinth will open its new 8,000-square-foot permanent facility in the spring of 2012. The Cen-ter is currently located in a temporary facility at 3714 Highway 72 West, adjacent to the south side of the main Magnolia Re-gional Health Center cam-pus.
The new facility is un-der construction adjacent to the temporary facility. MRHC will open a new Or-thopaedic Center in mid-2012 offering patients an all encompassing, com-prehensive approach to orthopaedic surgery and care. The center will be located in the hospital’s main facility.
Magnolia Regional Health Center continues to offer community edu-cation and events includ-ing the annual Women’s Health Conference; an annual Cancer Confer-ence; a Breast Cancer Awareness campaign including an education luncheon, discounted mammograms to women who qualify and educa-tional events throughout the month of October; and Winter Wonder-land. These events allow MRHC the opportunity to show gratitude to our community for its sup-port throughout the year.
Additional informa-tion: Since 1965, Magno-lia Regional Health Cen-ter has had a tradition of focusing on the local com-munity in the provision of health, as well as having a strong commitment to those it serves. Bring-ing quality physicians to our area and training hometown doctors is im-portant, creating a bond between MRHC and the community it serves.
