Liquor, beer vote too close to call BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

IUKA — More than 40 years after Tishomingo County’s last vote on ending prohibition, the result was so close it couldn’t be decided Tuesday night, although “for” votes maintained a razorthin advantage. The fate of legal liquor, beer and light wine sales rests in the hands of 67 residents who completed affidavit ballots that will be counted sometime today at the Tishomingo County Courthouse. The

timing was unclear, because court will be in session, and Circuit Clerk Donna Dill said the count will likely wait for court to adjourn for the day, possibly by noon. The liquor vote was accompanied by a rare county-wide vote on the sale of beer and light wine. For liquor, votes in favor numbered 3,232, and votes against numbered 3,213, a margin of 19 votes. For beer and light wine, “for” votes numbered 3,219, and “against” votes numbered 3,175, a margin of 44. With 67 affidavits outstanding, nei-

ther proposition could be called. Those totals include all machine, absentee and curb-side votes. Absentees numbered 342. The Iuka area generally gave the largest vote in favor of legal sales. “For” also carried comfortably at the North Burnsville and Tishomingo precincts. Contrary to the expectations of petition organizer Charles “Tubby” Aldridge, apart from Tishomingo, much of the south end of the county voted strongly against the sale of liquor and beer. Boxes such

as East Belmont, Belmont, Dennis and Golden voted “against” by large margins. Aldridge, who watched the numbers roll in throughout the night with a courtroom full of spectators, felt the election would ultimately go his way. “I never would have thought it would have been this close, actually,” he said. “If the people that said they was going to vote for it had come out and vote, it would have won big-time. The diehards that are against it, they are going

to show up. They got theirs.” Voter turnout was 50.1 percent. The debate over legal sales was quiet Tuesday night as the crowd focused on the numbers announced by Dill and displayed on a large screen. There were few signs of persuasion one way or the other outside the building. A thoroughly rusted old Ford pickup had a “vote against” flyer taped to the door on each side and a couple more taped to the back window. Around the corner, another truck displayed a large “for” banner.

Kossuth High School senior Hunter Mitchell captures the moment of the 2013 KHS Graduation on Monday night. Corinth will close out the commencement year on Friday with its 7 p.m. ceremony at the Crossroads Arena.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves was among the speakers at the dedication ceremony to Corinth’s new $50 million water treatment facility on Tuesday. “We’ve heard repeatedly from people in our state, that our number one priority in our state must be job creation, what we do to bring better and higher paying jobs to Mississippi,” said Reeves. “Government does not create jobs. It creates an environment that encourages the private sector to invest capital and create

jobs. Your governments here have done just that.” The lieutenant governor said the water treatment facility is a long-term investment in job development and congratulated everyone involved in the project for having foresight many years ago. “Politicians think in fouryear cycles,” he said, “but true public servants are able to look beyond the next four years and make sacrifices and decisions for projects like this.” Located approximately sevPlease see DEDICATION | 3A

City board delays action on zoning variance for school BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Citing the need for further study, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday delayed action on a requested zoning variance for a Christian school to locate near Harper and Shiloh. Pathway Christian Academy, currently located on Proper Street, would relocate to the property neighboring the Shiloh Road

branch of Regions bank and begin holding classes there in August. The property is a former residence that most recently was used as a daycare, and neighbors in the area have opposed past requests to change zoning there. In this case, the request is for a variance allowing a school to operate, and the zone would remain residential. The board of adjustment/planning commission met Monday

night and gave approval for the request contingent upon meeting several stipulations made by the building inspector. Mayor Tommy Irwin said the request is new to the Board of Aldermen, and he wants them to get fully informed on the matter because of the past history of requests at this address. City Attorney Wendell Trapp said it appears neighbors are not opposed to the school as long as

the zoning continues to be residential to prevent other possible uses in the future. Myra Rencher, representing the school, said it has about 40 students and is currently located in the old Happy Campers Daycare. The building inspector has listed some items such as emergency lights and handicap accessibility that must be addressed. In other business:

■ The board approved an onpremises beer license for Smith restaurant and an off-premises beer license for B-Mart. ■ Aldermen reappointed Jimmy Johnson to the library commission. ■ Jay Baxter addressed the board with a complaint about temporary advertising signs for The Warehouse being removed by the city.

Reeves discusses priorities in Kiwanis/Rotary gathering BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves spoke to a joint meeting of the Corinth Rotary and Kiwanis on Tuesday at Shiloh Ridge. Reeves’s talk focused on what’s been going on in the state capitol over his first 16 months as lieutenant governor. “What I’ve tried to do is bring fiscal responsibility, get the budget under control, reform the public schools so every kid has the opportunity for success and work with cities and counties if the opportunity is

ready to prepare resources to grow our job base,” said Reeves. Reeves said the number one priority for government must be job creation. “The government creates an environment that encourages the private sector to invest capital and create jobs,” said Reeves. During his time in office, Reeves has worked to cut taxes by eliminating inventoStaff photo by Bobby J. Smith ry tax — a tax that is in place in Mississippi Rotary and Kiwanis members welcomed Lt.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, May 22, the 142nd day of 2013. There are 223 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 22, 1913, the American Cancer Society was founded in New York by a group of doctors and business leaders under its original name, the American Society for the Control of Cancer. On this date: In 1813, composer Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig, Germany. In 1860, the United States and Japan exchanged ratifications of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce during a ceremony in Washington. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appeared before Congress to explain his decision to veto a bill that would have allowed World War I veterans to cash in bonus certificates before their 1945 due date. In 1939, the foreign ministers of Germany and Italy, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Galeazzo Ciano, signed a “Pact of Steel” committing the two countries to a military alliance. In 1947, the Truman Doctrine was enacted as Congress appropriated military and economic aid for Greece and Turkey. In 1960, an earthquake of magnitude 9.5, the strongest ever measured, struck southern Chile, claiming some 1,655 lives. In 1963, Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis was attacked by right-wingers after delivering a speech in Thessaloniki; he died five days later. (The assassination inspired a book as well as the 1969 CostaGavras film “Z.”) In 1968, the nuclearpowered submarine USS Scorpion, with 99 men aboard, sank in the Atlantic Ocean. (The remains of the sub were later found on the ocean floor 400 miles southwest of the Azores.) In 1969, the lunar module of Apollo 10, with Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene Cernan aboard, flew to within nine miles of the moon’s surface in a dress rehearsal for the first lunar landing. In 1972, President Richard Nixon began a visit to the Soviet Union, during which he and Kremlin leaders signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. The island nation of Ceylon became the republic of Sri Lanka. In 1981 “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe was convicted in London of murdering 13 women and was sentenced to life in prison. In 1992, after a reign lasting nearly 30 years, Johnny Carson hosted NBC’s “Tonight Show” for the last time.

Ten years ago: The U.N. Security Council gave the U.S. and Britain a mandate to rule Iraq, ending 13 years of economic sanctions. Annika Sorenstam became the first woman since Babe Didrikson Zaharias in 1945 to tee off against the men on the pro tour, playing in the first round of the Colonial golf tournament in Fort Worth, Texas. (Sorenstam missed the cut the next day by four shots.)

en miles west of Corinth in the Glen community, the Clifford G. Worsham Surface Water Treatment Facility has a rated capacity to produce 10 million gallons of potable water a day — enough to supply Corinth, Alcorn County and portions of the surrounding region. The late Worsham was a longtime community leader and Corinth Utilities Commission chairman. The new plant currently handles about 4.5 million gallons of water a day. Cook Coggin Engineers provided engineering services for the project including the study and report phase, design development phase, bidding phase and construction phase. Until recently the City of Corinth had depended on groundwater sources for its drinking water, according to Jack D. Farmer, P.E., senior project engineer at Cook Coggin. The unreliability of groundwater as a longterm source led to the recommendation that Corinth convert to a surface supply utilizing the Tennessee-Tombigbee as the source. “With the new surface water treatment plant the opportunity exists for much more growth in water demands,” said Farmer. “This gives city leaders the potential for far-reaching vision in meeting future residential and industrial water supply needs.” The new facility draws its water supply from the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway north of Burnsville. The raw water is pumped to the

treatment plant site. There it is coagulated, disinfected, filtered and sent to storage. From storage it is pumped as needed to Corinth. The Phase I intake and treatment facilities now in operation can be expanded by 50 percent when the need develops. While the plant has the capacity to withdraw 10 million gallons a day, Corinth’s usual peak demand is about 6 million gallons per day. The City of Corinth Public Utilities Commission holds a permit for the withdrawal of up to 16.5 million gallons per day, making an expansion possible in the future. The increased capacity is expected to help the city’s industrial recruitment efforts and opens the door to compete in manufacturing sectors that use a significant amount of water. Studies have been initiated on how other water associations in the region would get water on a wholesale level. Corinth’s groundwater wells will continue to function as a backup to the new water supply. The majority of the funding for the project is through the Mississippi Drinking Water System Improvement Revolving Loan Fund administered by the Mississippi State Department of Health. Others making comments at Tuesday’s dedication ceremony were: Mayor Tommy Irwin, Alcorn County Board of Supervisors President Lowell Hinton, TAP Alliance board member Leon Hays, Sen. Rita Potts Parks and John Rhodes of Corinth Gas & Water Department.

Responsible decision made in renovating jail BY SHIRLEY MCCANN As a retired person, I sit daily and watch our government make unhealthy choices on a national, state and local level. My parents always taught me to stand up and be heard, not to set on the fence and watch. Most recently I was deeply impressed by a decision made by our Board of Supervisors and I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Renovation and conversion of the former sheriff’s office on Fulton Drive for office space and a new board meeting location was pure genius. All one has to do is look a the facts:$80k FEMA funds -- government regulations required use on that property or lose funds; county owned -- paid for, no debt; handicap accessibility -- previous board room was on second floor with only stair access; ample parking -- no more fighting for parking space around courthouse; utilization of a board member as general contractor -- eliminating cost of hiring architect and builder; and room for future expansion as county grows. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for our county. Anyone who would not be in favor of this move must not be thinking clearly or just not thinking at all. Choosing to rehabilitate a county facility that had been written off by many and deemed as unusable shows resourcefulness and forward thinking. Too often our elected leaders are quick to discard the old for the shiny and new without care or concern for how it affects the tax payers. Our current board has shown that government can act responsibly and has restored faith once thought lost forever. Being a resident of rural county road 226 and a senior citizen, I rely heavily on the supervisor’s office. Whether I have forgotten what day to put my garbage out or just to hear a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, I have always been provided with friendly and helpful service which is a great reflection on our county. I commend, applaud and support the efforts of the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors. Their service is appreciated. What was once a lost and forgotten piece of Alcorn County history is now once again a useful arm of county government for generations to come. (Shirley McCann is a resident of Farmington.)

Prayer for today Father, we choose to walk by faith and not by sight. Since all things are possible with You, we choose to believe in those things impossible with man. Amen.

President Obama’s dream and the reality President Barack Obama believes in the public sector. He thinks it should be made ever more expansive and entrusted with ever more complicated tasks. Its unions should be powerful. It should be hailed by all the great and good, and attract the nation's best and brightest. This is how the president portrays the public sector at a level of glittering generality. Then there's the reality of all that government that is too big for him to monitor, the workings of which he learns about only when he reads the newspapers and watches TV. There's the incompetence, the dishonesty and the self-justification. There's the spectacular unfairness and the obtuseness, all exemplified in the Internal Revenue Service scandal. The innocent explanation of the affair is that the IRS's Cincinnati office was so poorly run, it couldn't manage to stop itself from discriminating against teaparty organizations applying for 501(c)(4) status - for years. As it happens, the recent reporting on the Cincinnati office portrays a dreary backwater with all the élan of your local Department of Motor Vehicles. But not dis-

criminating against organizations shouldn't be overly difficult. It doesn't reRich quire any Lowry technical expertise, just National a modicum Review of fairness. The IRS couldn't summon it. According to Lois Lerner, the director of the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt organizations division and the poster-bureaucrat for the scandal, there was a flood of applications for 501(c)(4)s that necessitated the “centralization” of the cases. The targeting of the tea-party groups wasn't targeting at all, but an efficiency measure gone awry. “They did it because they were working together,” Lerner says. “This was a streamlined way for them to refer to the cases.” In fact, The Washington Post notes that the number of applications barely ticked up from 2009 to 2010, when the practice of selecting tea-party groups began. It also makes no sense to respond to an overwhelming influx of applications with multiple rounds of intrusive and extraneous

questions and with yearslong delays. That is a way to create a backlog, not to alleviate it. It is a way to create more work, not less. IRS functionaries still don't think that they did anything wrong, in the sense that everyone else would understand it. Lerner maintains that the IRS workers “didn't have the appropriate level of sensitivity about how this might appear to others, and it was just wrong.” But stringing along organizations from one side of the ideological spectrum, while quickly approving groups from the other, isn't an appearance problem, it's a real problem. Ousted acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller told Congress that the agency was guilty of “horrible customer service,” which makes it sound like it delivered pizzas to the wrong address or failed to honor advertised discounts on merchandise. If the IRS weren't so blasé about other people's rights, it would have found a way to stop trampling them long ago. The IRS didn't have the excuse of everyone else in Washington. It didn't have to wait for the outcome of any inspector-general report. It already knew it

was guilty. It could have exposed its wrongdoing at any time, and thus ensured a stop would be put to it immediately through the blunt force of public outrage. It didn't. Instead, it obfuscated and misled in congressional testimony, and strung everyone along. We are supposed to believe that IRS officials bungled at everything except keeping the agency's own misconduct under wraps for as long as possible. They were ham-handed at everything except planting a question at an American Bar Association conference so Lois Lerner could pre-empt the inspector general's report and do it, in classic Washington fashion, on a Friday the day before its release. President Obama has a dream of what the public sector represents. In his rhetoric, it is a shining expression of our togetherness. He might want to acquaint himself with the actual government over which he presides from such an Olympian distance, and adjust his enthusiasm accordingly.

Visiting art genius’ fine art on layaway There was this glorious routine. My Mississippi Coast visits in the 1980s were frequent, full and never varied. Every nice weekend, three or four of us newspaper buddies would pool our resources, fill up the Mustang with cheap gas and drive down from Jackson to catch the first ferry to Ship Island. That was the main event. After a hard day of sunning and swimming, we'd always eat the gargantuan seafood platter at Fisherman's Wharf. Sated by saltwater, sun and baby flounder, we'd spend the night at a little mom-and-pop motel called the Worth. Before heading home the next day, we'd make a stop at Shearwater Pottery in Ocean Springs. For Curtis. He had to make a $10 or $20 payment on his Walter Anderson watercolor. How we teased him. “Fine art on layaway,” someone would

say. “Let's go visit Curtis' painting.” C u r t i s had the last laugh. took him Rheta a Itlong while Johnson to pay off Columnist the $250 or $300 bill for the painting on typing paper stored in a filing cabinet at the pottery showroom. I remember how happy he was when he finally got to bring the art home. He's probably a lot happier now, since Walter Anderson watercolors have increased dramatically in value. If only we'd followed Curtis' example. For me, it was the art that got away. I think about those halcyon days whenever I visit Shearwater or the Walter Anderson Museum of Art. We young reporters weren't the first to appreciate An-

derson's art, but we probably could have qualified for something like frequent flyer points. How we loved the story. Van Gogh had nothing on Walter Anderson. His insularity and eccentricities and, yes, mental illness made him the small-town character who was either ridiculed or avoided. But there is a redemption element, as the artist's reputation and fame finally soared. This oddball who lashed himself to pine trees to study the light during a hurricane, who rode his old bicycle while the rest of the world sped by in fine automobiles -- he was the genius, the rest of us distressingly ordinary.

“One single beautiful image is practically inexhaustible -- man is a wasteful fool,” Anderson wrote. This was a man who could study a crab for hours, or sketch a dead bird from six different angles. He didn't waste those natural images that surround us all. I don't have an original Walter Anderson, but I keep that feeling of intense, jaw-dropping appreciation whenever I see the work that is now out of filing cabinets and on museum walls. There is a primal urge to sit and stare. I can pretend I am Curtis, “visiting” my painting until I pay up and carry it home. It is fine art on layaway, for whenever I want to enjoy it.

Teachers credited with saving students MOORE, Okla. — The principal’s voice came on over the intercom at Plaza Towers Elementary School: A severe storm was approaching and students were to go to the cafeteria and wait for their parents to pick them up. But before all of the youngsters could get there, the tornado alarm sounded. The plan changed quickly. “All the teachers started screaming into the room and saying, ‘Get into the hallway! We don’t want you to die!’ and stuff like that,” said sixth-grader Phaedra Dunn. “We just took off running.” In the moments that followed, some of the children at Plaza Towers Elementary would, in fact, die. At least seven were killed by the twister Monday afternoon. Others would crawl out of the rubble, bloodied and bruised, utterly terrified.

Supporters seek delay in immigration debate WASHINGTON — Farreaching immigration legislation neared a final committee vote on Tuesday as the White House and Democratic supporters pressed the panel’s chairman to delay a showdown over the rights of gay spouses until a debate in the full Senate. “There have been 300 amendments. Why shouldn’t we have one more?” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. He spoke in response to concerns that a vote on the issue inside the Senate Judiciary Committee could unravel months of work on the bill, which gives a chance at citizenship to millions of immigrants living in the United States illegally. The measure also creates a new program for low-skilled foreign labor, and would permit highly skilled workers into the country at far higher levels than is currently the case. At the same time, it requires the government take new steps to guard against future illegal immigration. Leahy, who has presided over days of committee work on the legislation, said an end was in sight, perhaps as early as Tuesday night. The bill’s ranks of supporters inside the committee grew during the day as the result of a compromise setting the terms of the expansion of H-1B high tech visas. Under the deal, the number of highly skilled workers admitted to the country would rise from 65,000 annually to 110,000, with the possibility of a further rise to 180,000 depending in part on unemployment levels.

Combination of factors creates killer tornado WASHINGTON — Wind, humidity and rainfall combined precisely to create the massive killer tornado in Moore, Okla. And when they did, the awesome amount of energy released over that city dwarfed the power of the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. On Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service gave it the top-of-thescale rating of EF-5 for wind speed and breadth and severity of damage. Wind speeds were estimated at between 200 and 210 mph. Several meteorologists contacted by The Associated Press used real time measurements to calculate the energy released during the storm’s life span of almost an hour. Their estimates ranged from 8 times to more than 600 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb with more experts at the high end. The tornado at some points was 1.3 miles wide, and its path went on for 17 miles and 40 minutes. That’s long for a regular tornado but not too unusual for such a violent one, said research meteorologist Harold Brooks at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla. Less than 1 percent of all U .S. tornadoes are this violent — only about 10 a year, he said. With the third strong storm hitting Moore in 14 years, some people are wondering why Moore? It’s a combination of geography, meteorology and lots of bad luck, experts said.

Former IRS head knew groups targeted WASHINGTON — The former head of the Internal Revenue Service said he first learned in the spring of 2012 — in the heat of the presidential campaign — that agents had improperly targeted political groups that vehemently opposed President Barack Obama’s policies. But, former Commissioner Douglas Shulman said Tuesday, he didn’t tell higher ups in the Treasury Department and he didn’t tell members of Congress. And he wouldn’t apologize for it. “I had a partial set of facts, and I knew that the inspector general was going to be looking into it, and I knew that it was being stopped,” Shulman told the Senate

Finance Committee in his first public comments on the matter. “Sitting there then and sitting here today, I think I made the right decision, which is to let the inspector general get to the bottom of it, chase down all the facts and then make his findings public.” Shulman, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, left the IRS in November when his five-year term ended. His testimony makes him the top official to publicly acknowledge knowing before the presidential election that tea party groups had been targeted.

Benghazi suspects: officials identify 5 men WASHINGTON — The U.S. has identified five men who might be responsible for the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year, and has enough evidence to justify seizing them by military force as suspected terrorists, officials say. But there isn’t enough proof to try them in a U.S. civilian court as the Obama administration prefers. The men remain at large while the FBI gathers evidence. But the investigation has been slowed by the reduced U.S. intelligence presence in the region since the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks, and by the limited ability to assist by Libya’s post-revolutionary law enforcement and intelligence agencies, which are still in their infancy since the overthrow of dictator Col. Moammar Gadhafi. The decision not to seize the men militarily underscores the White House aim to move away from hunting terrorists as enemy combatants and holding them at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The preference is toward a process in which most are apprehended and tried by the countries where they are living or arrested by the U.S. with the host country’s cooperation and tried in the U.S. criminal justice system. Using military force to detain the men might also harm fledgling relations with Libya and other post-Arab-Spring governments with whom the U.S. is trying to build partnerships to hunt al-Qaida as the organization expands throughout the region.

Assistant chief found guilty on 3 counts HOUSTON — Okolona Assistant Police Chief Ramona Robertson has been convicted on three counts. Judge Ernest Cunningham fined Robertson $600 after hearing testimony Monday in Chickasaw County surrounding her Dec. 7, 2012, arrest by the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Robertson was found guilty of driving under the influence, speeding and failure to comply with law enforcement officers. The counts are misdemeanors. A fourth count was dismissed. Highway Patrol officers testified Robertson was driving erratically, driving at one point at 77 mph in a 55 mph zone and emotionally unstable when they tried to conduct field sobriety tests. Robertson says her actions were caused by the medication she took for a variety of medical conditions and the stress she had been enduring the week. She is currently on medical leave.

Death row inmate loses arguments NEW ALBANY — A judge has dismissed the post-conviction arguments of death row inmate Marlon Howell convicted in the 2001 slaying of a newspaper carrier. In 2008, the Mississippi Supreme Court allowed Howell to pursue post-conviction arguments that chal-

lenged the testimony of a prosecutor’s witness, on whether he was denied an attorney to be present at a line-up and whether his attorney should have done a better job. Circuit Judge Samac Richardson denied Howell’s arguments in a ruling issued Monday. An inmate uses a postconviction petition to argue he has found new evidence — or a possible constitutional issue — that could persuade a court to order a new trial. Richardson was appointed as a special judge to conduct the hearing, which took place last month in New Albany. Howell, now 33, was convicted in 2001 of capital murder and sentenced to death for killing David Pernell during a robbery. Pernell, 61, was a retired postman who delivered the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. He was killed after being was flagged down on a

city street in New Albany. Howell’s attorneys say the case will be appealed to the state Supreme Court. Howell had argued the key prosecution witness — Charles Rice — sought to recant his identification of Howell as the shooter, only to withdraw the statement in another affidavit. Howell’s defense team said as jail lineup was tainted by a lack of an attorney and other issues. Howell also argued that his trial attorney failed to investigate or conduct a pretrial interview of another prosecution witness. In his ruling, Richardson said he found no inconsistency in the witness’ testimony. He said Howell waived his right to an attorney the day before the lineup during an interview with investigators and had not been formally charged with capital murder when the lineup took place.

inventory tax made the state less competitive when it came to recruiting industry and hurt small businesses trying to compete with businesses across state lines. Reeves said he has also worked to reform the workers comp system, which had become unfairly slanted against employers. One of his main areas of focus is increasing Mississippians’ levels of educational attainment. “We need more college grads, more people learning skills necessary to today’s economy and more people getting high school degrees,” said Reeves. “Every kid in our state deserves the opportunity for success. In many places the schools are so bad, the kids have no opportunity for success.” Other economic achievements cited by Reeves including an increase in community college funding, placing $300 million in the state’s rainy day fund (a way to show prospective businesses the state is fiscally strong) and reducing the overall debt on the state’s taxpayers. Reeves pointed to the state’s economic success compared with the national trend. During the years of the Obama administration, the deficit has grown from $7 trillion to $16 trillion — and counting — he pointed out. “We’re doing the opposite in Jackson,” Reeves said. “This year has been the first year without a bond package. We’re going to pay off $250 million in principal and interest. That’s something fiscal conservatives can be proud of.”

Unplanned trip? You might not get there BY JIMMY REED Folks setting out on journeys must be certain to plan first. If they don’t, they might end up like my friend Bud and me when we took a plan-less plane trip. When I farmed, I owned a Piper Cub airplane. Running through the gas tank’s cap, a wire attached to a float measured consumption. As the fuel level dropped, the part of the wire visible to the pilot shortened, and a crook in its end kept it from falling through when the tank ran dry. The aircraft cruised at only eighty miles per

hour, and the instrument panel consisted of little more than an airspeed indicator and altimeter. One April day, Bud suggested we fly the Cub to Dothan, Ala., for a sales seminar. “You and I tote enough lard to weigh in at a quarter ton,” I said. “That’s a big load and a long trip for that tiny plane.” Bud was a born salesman. If slop went to $9 a gallon, he could sell it to hog farmers, and he sold me on participating in the aviation misadventure of a lifetime. When I mentioned that the compass was unreli-

able, he chortled, “Dead reckoning will get us there. For us two ace pilots, this’ll be a walk in the park.” Groaning, the Cub barely cleared the fence at the strip’s end, but with landmarks mapped out, we scudded along peacefully. Peace didn’t last long. What we thought was a small cloud layer beneath us turned out to be as wide as the Bermuda Triangle. Suddenly we found ourselves imprisoned in little more than a motorized kite a mile above Terra Firma in a featureless void of blue sky over an end-

less carpet of fluffy white clouds, while the bend in the fuel gauge wire sank lower and lower. Only one thing to do — go back the way we came. By country-boy reckoning we figured that we must fly away from the sun, since we’d been flying toward it, and hope to see ground before the Cub became a glider. Just as the engine sipped the last slurp, the clouds parted, and we spiraled down toward a dirt road out in the middle of nowhere. When we rolled to a stop, Bud and I were cadaverous white and speechless, hav-

ing glimpsed the Grim Reaper eyeball to eyeball. Clinging to each other, we staggered to a house beside the road. “Ma’am, where are we?” Bud asked an old lady sitting on the porch. Nearly stone deaf, she craned forward and cupped her ears. Bud repeated himself. “Philadelphia, Mississippi, is ’bout twenty miles yonder ways. Where y’all headed?” Bud answered, but to her dysfunctional ears, Dothan sounded like Boston. A gold-toothed smile cracked her face, and she slapped her knees.

“Boston!” she guffawed. Y’all tryin’ to go to Boston — and can’t even git to Philadelphia?” For us, what Yogi Berra once said rang true: You must be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.

Fire chief says search almost complete in Oklahoma Associated Press

MOORE, Okla. — The search for survivors and the dead is nearly complete in the Oklahoma City suburb that was smashed by a mammoth tornado, the fire chief said Tuesday. Gary Bird said he’s “98 percent sure” there are no more survivors or bodies to recover under the rubble in Moore, a community of 56,000 people. His comments came after emergency crews spent much of the day searching the town’s broken remnants for survivors of the twister that flattened homes and demolished an elementary school. The storm killed at least 24 people, including at least nine children. Every damaged home has been searched at least once, Bird said. His goal is to conduct three searches of each location just to be sure. He was hopeful the work could be completed by nightfall, but the efforts were being hampered by heavy rain. No additional survivors or bodies have been found since Monday night, Bird said. Earlier in the day, the state medical examiner’s office cut the estimated death toll by more than half. Gov. Mary Fallin

vowed to account for every resident. “We will rebuild, and we will regain our strength,” said Fallin, who went on a flyover of the area and described it as “hard to look at.” Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner, said she believes some victims were counted twice in the early chaos of the storm that struck Monday afternoon. Downed communication lines and problems sharing information with officers exacerbated the problem, she said. “It was a very eventful night,” Elliott said. “I truly expect that they’ll find more today.” Authorities initially said as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children. New search-and-rescue teams moved in at dawn Tuesday, taking over from the 200 or so emergency responders who had worked all night. A helicopter shined a spotlight from above to aid in the search. Many houses have “just been taken away. They’re just sticks and bricks,” the governor said, describing the 17-mile path of destruction. More than 200 people have been treated at hos-

pitals. The National Weather Service said the tornado was an EF5 twister, the most powerful type, with winds of at least 200 mph. The agency upgraded the tornado from an EF4 on the enhanced Fujita scale to an EF5 based on what a damage-assessment team saw on the ground, spokeswoman Keli Pirtle said Tuesday. The weather service says the tornado’s path was 17 miles long and 1.3 miles wide. Emergency crews were having trouble navigating neighborhoods because the devastation was so complete, and there are no street signs left standing, Fallin added. Other search-and-rescue teams focused their efforts at Plaza Towers Elementary, where the storm ripped off the roof, knocked down walls and turned the playground into a mass of twisted plastic and metal as students and teachers huddled in hallways and bathrooms. Seven of the nine dead children were killed at the school, but several students were pulled alive from under a collapsed wall and other heaps of mangled debris. Rescue workers passed the survi-

vors down a human chain of parents and neighborhood volunteers. Parents carried children in their arms to a triage center in the parking lot. Some students looked dazed, others terrified. Officials were still trying to account for a handful of children not found at the school who may have gone home early with their parents, Bird said Tuesday. Many parents of missing schoolchildren initially came to St. Andrews United Methodist Church, which had been set up as a meeting site. But only high school students were brought to the church, causing confusion and frustration among parents of students enrolled at Plaza Towers. They were redirected to a Baptist church several miles away. “It was very emotional — some people just holding on to each other, crying because they couldn’t find a child; some people being angry and express-

ing it verbally” by shouting at one another, said D.A. Bennett, senior pastor at St. Andrews. After hearing that the tornado was headed toward another school called Briarwood Elementary, David Wheeler left work and drove 100 mph through blinding rain and gusting wind to find his 8-year-old son, Gabriel. When he got to the school site, “it was like the earth was wiped clean, like the grass was just sheared off,” Wheeler said. Eventually, he found Gabriel, sitting with the teacher who had protected him. His back was cut and bruised and gravel was embedded in his head — but he was alive. As the tornado approached, students at Briarwood were initially sent to the halls, but a third-grade teacher — whom Wheeler identified as Julie Simon — thought it didn’t look safe and so ushered the children into a closet, he said. The teacher shielded Gabriel with her arms and

held him down as the tornado collapsed the roof and starting lifting students upward with a pull so strong that it sucked the glasses off their faces, Wheeler said. “She saved their lives by putting them in a closet and holding their heads down,” Wheeler said. The tornado also grazed a theater and leveled countless homes. Authorities were still trying to determine the full scope of the damage. Roofs were torn off houses, exposing metal rods left twisted like pretzels. Cars sat in heaps, crumpled and sprayed with caked-on mud. Insulation and siding was smashed up against the sides of any walls that remained standing. Yards were littered with pieces of wood, nails and pieces of electric poles. President Barack Obama declared a major disaster and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts.

How will you pay for

retirement? Letâ€™s talk.

Wall Street will be watching today for any signs of new policy changes coming from the Federal Reserve. Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to appear before Congress and the central bank will be releasing minutes of its most recent policy meeting. The Fed is buying $85 billion of bonds every month to keep long-term interest rates low. That has encouraged investors to put money into stocks instead of bonds, driving The Dow, S&P 500 and Russell to record high levels.
