BY DAVID KOENIG AP Business Writer

DALLAS — Motorists in the Southeast and East could pay more for gasoline in coming days because of the shutdown of a leaking pipeline in Alabama. Experts say, however, that any spike in ser- vice-station prices should only be temporary. Colonial Pipeline Co. said Friday that it doesn’t expect to fully reopen its primary gasoline pipe- line until next week. It is one of two major pipelines that connect more than two dozen refineries in Texas and Lou- isiana with cities in the East, from Atlanta to New York. The Colonial pipeline provides nearly 40 percent of the region’s gasoline and usually runs at or near full capacity. Prices on futures contracts for wholesale gaso- line rose about 2 percent Friday to $1.46 a gallon after rising 5 percent on Thursday. Colonial said that supply disruptions would be felt first in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. Tom Kloza, an energy analyst with the Oil Luisa Porter/Dispatch Staff Price Information Service, said some stations in Mike Winn, of Gulfport, weighs out fresh shrimp for Columbus locals Wednesday. Winn only comes into town the Southeast could run short on supply and boost about once a month and the shoppers behind him here said they hear about him by word of mouth, email or are their prices by 20 or 30 cents a gallon. lucky enough to drive by. “The Colonial pipeline is the metaphorical aor- ta for the supply to the most-populated regions of the country, and you’ve lost 10 days of blood flow,” Kloza said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voice of the people An unfair arrangement I find it amazing how the president of the Lowndes County Board of Su- pervisors likes to use numbers. He es- pecially likes to have his own facts. He feels like the city of Columbus should pay for half of the CLRA government funding. What is that based on, his personal belief? He says 66.6% of the population of Lowndes County lives outside the city limits, though the US Census Bureau estimate places it closer to 60%. By either measure then shouldn’t the county put in more funding than the city? There has been some discussion and editorials about the funding to se- cure and build the soccer complex and the large difference in funding by the county and city. As far as everyone knows, both par- ties lived up to their part of the “agree- ment,” so where is the inequity?

A history hunt that spanned 10 years resulted in Ivy’s descen- dants being able to finally dedicate a headstone. A long search into the past brings a headstone to an ‘unknown’ soldier

BY JAN SWOOPE [email protected]

n a heat-smitten day 154 years after he died, Hugh Washington Ivy at last Oreceived a headstone. Descendants who never knew him gathered ’round to pay respects as a marker of white marble was unveiled under the sweeping magnolias of Friendship Cemetery in Columbus. The stone took the place of a previous one that had read “Unknown.” The recognition had been a long time coming. Ivy, from near Meridian, served in the 36th Mississippi Infantry. He was 30 years old when he was transported to Columbus with a host of others wounded at the fierce Battle of Shiloh in April 1862. Scores of sol- diers were treated in the city that would be- come known as a hospital town. Churches and homes were converted into temporary wards for overflowing troops, Confederate and Union. Ivy would not be among the survivors. He died July 4, 1862.

Shizak’s efforts would result in the memorial service and head- stone dedication afforded Ivy Sept. 10 at the cemetery. “This has been an amazing journey,” said Shizak of the Ivy research and verification process that spanned a 10-year period. Shizak and Gaddis first knew each other through mutual membership in the United Daughters of the Confederacy. That associ- ation of female descendants of Confederate veterans preserves the memories of those husbands, fathers, sons and brothers who died in the War Between the States. The UDC collects and preserves rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal re- cords and other papers of historical impor- tance related to the years 1861 to 1865.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK lying burritos will soon be a reality over Virginia Tech. F Chipotle is taking part in a test this month that will let some of the uni- versity’s students and staff have their favorite tortilla-wrapped meal delivered by drone. Virginia Tech is conducting the test with Project Wing, a unit of Google own- er Alphabet Inc., which makes self-fly- ing devices that deliver food, medicine DILBERT and other goods. Chipotle’s burritos will be put togeth- er at a food truck and then loaded on a drone. The flights will take place at an undisclosed site on Virginia Tech property, but not at the main campus in Blacksburg, said Mark Blanks, director of Virginia Tech’s Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership. “It’s real customers that are working and need lunch and want it delivered by drone,” Blanks said.
