NWS forecasts freezing temperatures After expected high near 80, cold weather on the way for weekend

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A likely freeze shaping up for Saturday night could be trouble for the early blooms springing to life in the area.

The National Weather Service Memphis Forecast Office, as of Wednesday afternoon, is forecasting a low in Corinth of 31 Saturday night after high temperatures approach 80 late in the week.

“We’ve gotten into these problems before where we had a really cold snap in mid-April and everything had already bloomed out, and it pretty well knocked fruit production down to almost zero in certain situations,” said Mississippi State University Extension Agent Patrick Poindexter.

February’s oddly unseasonal weather has moved that problem up by six or more weeks

with buttercups, pear trees and roses currently in bloom.

“We are seeing growth that is unseasonal,” he said. “I’ve already seen several saucer magnolias in the area that are completely bloomed out. I went by a pear tree today that was completely bloomed out. That’s wherein the problem lies. I haven’t seen any peach trees in

Rienzi considers natural gas

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

RIENZI — Answering questions and addressing concerns, officials met in Rienzi on Tuesday night to discuss the possibility of expanding natural gas

into the Rienzi area.

With approximately 20 individuals in attendance, the group gathered at Rienzi Baptist Church at 6 p.m. for a brief, yet productive discussion.

“We promised everyone dur-

ing the last meeting that we would come back in 2017 to share what we figured out. So, that’s what we’re doing tonight,” said Mississippi Public Service

RIENZI — Officials in Alcorn County’s southernmost municipality continue to have an eye on future growth by way of annexation.

A proposed expansion of the town limits has been in the works for some time and is making some headway.

“It’s in the hands of the Justice Department now,” said Mayor Walter Williams. “They are the ones that will make the last decision. I feel real good about it, because you’ve got a lot of people that want to be inside the city limits. I think it will pass with flying colors.”

The town of 317 population per the 2010 census would see its boundary expand to U.S. Highway 45 on the west, taking in additional territory along Mississippi Highway 356.

“My goal is to try to get everybody that is in this area that has an address of Rienzi, if it’s possible, to let them be a part of the city limits,” the mayor said.

The town would consider utility expansions, although some residents outside the town boundaries already have access to those services, he said.

The town has not projected how much additional ad va-

When not at work, Bishop said she enjoys spending time with her family and traveling. She and her husband, David, have been married for 30 years. They have two sons, Bradley and Brooks. Bishop proudly said she also has a grandson, Griffin.

lorem revenue the annexation would generate.

In other news from Rienzi, the latest regular session of the Board of Aldermen included concerns expressed by a Front Street resident about dogs running loose.

“The dogs down by where I live changed my life forever,” said Bobby Anderson.

He was riding a motorcycle when he hit one of the dogs, resulting in a leg injury.

“They still chase me whenever I pull out of my driveway on one of my bikes,” said Anderson.

Williams planned to talk to the sheriff about the situation.

The town does not have an animal control officer.

Bryant taps Treadway to fill vacancy for DeSoto judge JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant has appointed a new DeSoto County judge to fill a vacancy created by another of his recent appointments.

Craig Treadway of Olive Branch begins on the county court bench next Monday.

He succeeds Celeste Wilson, who became a circuit judge for five northern Mississippi counties. Bryant had announced Wilson’s appointment in early February after a former circuit judge, Bobby Chamberlin, became a state Supreme Court justice.

The 47-year-old Treadway earned his law degree from the University of Mississippi in 1994. He has worked in private law practice and has been DeSoto County prosecuting attorney since 1999.

Among other duties, county court judges may issue search warrants, preside over preliminary hearings and set bond.

April trial set for ex-deputy charged with sex crime PASCAGOULA — A judge has scheduled a trial date for a former Mississippi sheriff’s deputy charged with having sex with an inmate in a county jail.

The SunHerald reported that veteran Jackson County deputy Bradley Scott Davis is set for trial on April 17.

The 36-year-old Moss Point man has pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawful sexual activity.

He is accused of having oral sex

with an inmate while he was on duty at the Jackson County jail over two weeks in June. Davis is out of jail on a $10,000 bond.

Davis was one of two former Jackson County corrections officers accused of having sex with an inmate.

Emergency declared as Jackson water outage looms JACKSON — Hinds County officials have declared a state of emergency, warning that some Jackson residents could be without water for about three days next month.

The County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to declare the emergency as officials look to address major water line damage in south Jackson, news outlets reported.

Ricky Moore, the county’s emergency operations center director, said he’s been told the water would be shut off tentatively March 11 for an estimated three days while the repairs take place.

The city of Jackson has not chosen an outage date, the city later said in a news release Tuesday.

“You have to plan for the circumstances you’re getting,” Moore said.

“We hope no one’s without water. We hope everything goes well. But we’ll be ready if it doesn’t.”

An emergency declaration would allow the county to request help from the state in the event of an extended water outage. The county administrator would also be given the authority to buy $10,000 worth of bottled water. The declaration will be sent to the governor through the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

Death in Mississippi: Man held in 4 slayings Associated Press

MERIDIAN — A man who lived in a rural home with his romantic partner, her young son, her mother and her sister was arrested on murder charges after all four were found shot to death, authorities said Wednesday.

Authorities who broke through the door to discover the bodies also found the sister’s 3-yearold daughter uninjured inside.

Kavon D. McVay, 44, was charged with murder, capital murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, said Lauderdale County Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun.

Calhoun told a news conference in Meridian, Mississippi, that McVay had a stormy romantic relationship with Tomecca Pickett, 42.

“It’s fair to characterize this as a domestic violence incident,” Calhoun said. “They’d had argument earlier in the day.”

Pickett was shot to death along with her 5-year-old son Owen; her mother, 65-year-old Edna Durr; and sister, 27-yearold Kiearra Durr. All four were found Monday in their home in the Toomsuba community, near the Alabama state line about 15 miles east of Meridian.

Coroner Clayton Cobler

said authorities arriving at the home to check on the occupants found a bullet hole in the metal door frame, so deputies broke through to get inside.

Calhoun said McVay surrendered to authorities who were helped out by tips from neighbors and relatives of the victims. McVay was jailed on $3 million bond and did not immediately have a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

“I really do hope everything will be resolved for this,” said relative Irene Thompson. “For anybody to want to hurt a child, I don’t know what to say.”

No penalty for furling Confederate-themed flag

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi House has rejected an effort to punish universities for not flying the state flag that prominently features the Confederate battle emblem.

All eight of the state’s public universities have furled the flag in recent years amid criticism that it’s racially insensitive in a state with a 38 percent black population.

Republican Rep. William Shirley of Quitman, who is white, offered an

WALK

amendment Tuesday saying any university that refuses to fly the Mississippi flag could not receive bond money. It would have cost each campus about $1 million for repair and renovation projects.

“Walk For Life” are scheduled for Monday, March 6, at the center located at 2421 Proper Street. Representatives for the center said there will be two meetings to accommodate busy schedules, one at 12:15 p.m. and another at 5:15 p.m.

Oasis is a non-profit ministry that offers pregnancy medical services to hundreds of individuals from Alcorn and surrounding counties. OMC is able to provide services at no cost due to the support of local individuals, churches and businesses. By helping raise money for the center, walkers play a vital part in the work of this ministry, according to representatives for the center.

“In the time I have been involved with OMC, I have heard countless stories of how women and men have been helped and their lives have been changed.

Walkers take part in that success by raising the funds needed for our daily operating expenses.”

Matt Mitchell Oasis Medical Center CEO women and men have been helped and their lives have been changed. Walkers take part in that success by raising the funds needed for our daily operating expenses,” Matt Mitchell, CEO, Oasis Medical Center.

The center recently added to its staff, gaining Mitchell, as well as Kelly Rinehart as the Marketing/Events/Vol-

unteer Coordinator. Two staff members saw promotions — Darlene Durbin, took the position of business and operations manager, and staff member Julia Taylor, RN, accepted a promotion as clinic director.

OMC is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).

Mitchell described this as the

“Good Housekeeping Seal” of approval for charitable organizations. All contributions are used to financially support the local center. He pointed out that 78 percent of their money goes directly to client programs.

“When you support our ministry, you know the money is going to serve the clients,” he said.

The one-mile “Walk For Life” will be held at the Crossroads Regional Park on Saturday, April 22.

Walkers for the event raise funds by obtaining sponsors.

(Anyone interested in participating or being a point person for their church, business or organization is encouraged to attend one of the meetings on March 6. Please RSVP by March 3 by calling 662-287-8001.)

bloom yet, but the buds are swelling.”

Apple, peach, pear and plum trees will be in danger of seeing fruit production affected.

“It could eliminate it as far as fruit production goes,” said Poindexter.

Some plum trees are also in bloom.

Along with temperature, the positioning of a tree can also be a factor — those protected from wind may fare better.

Around the house, homeowners can take some steps to protect flowers.

“If they have young plants in pots that they might have put out on the porch, they might want to move them into a protected area,” he said. “If someone has some prized roses in a small enough area, they might think about putting a cover or a sheet over them, something to protect them.”

Things such as onions, cabbage and turnip greens that are being planted now are more resilient and should withstand the freeze, he said.

Commissioner Brandon Presley. “Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved and the efforts of those who have been willing to get out and bang on people’s doors, we’ve had approximately 234 potential customers (many west of U.S. Highway 45) say ‘yes’ to natural gas. Only a handful — less that 10 percent — have said ‘no’.”

Passing around a list of those who’ve expressed interest in the propane gas alternative, the commissioner handed out several copies of the current list of yay-sayers as well as a highlighted map of the area.

“If you are not on this list or if you notice that your neighbor is not and you or they would like to be, please let us know as soon as possible so you can be added to it,” he said. “Those who have rental properties will see their names appear more than once.”

“Our next step is to figure out our demographic and how to best move forward,” he continued. “Our hope is that the town will be able to secure a grant or two and make up the rest with a loan.”

According to David Moore of Moore Engineering in Booneville, the project would cost somewhere around $1.1 million and include the laying of approximately 10 miles of pipeline.

The town of Rienzi is currently gathering information on applying for a USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) loan to partially cover the cost as well as whether they may qualify for a $400,000 or $600,000 federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to help offset the financial burden.

It was also revealed during the meeting that the customers served by the natural gas expansion may be asked to help

pay for the proposed new system/USDA loan through the adding of additional charges to their monthly gas bill.

In the worst case scenario of the entire loan being funded by a loan with no grant secured, customers on the new system could expect to see an additional $25 added to their monthly bill. The costs would cease once the loan was paid back in full.

In the best case scenario, that Rienzi received a grant of $400,000 to help offset the loan, the cost to customers would go down to about $15.87 a month. A $600,000 grant would lower the cost to customers even further with additional monthly costs being only about $12 per month.

A one-time hookup fee of at least $275 would also be charged.

According to Moore, the timeline to see the project begin would be a minimum of a year if the funding was secured.

“It would just be a matter of securing contractors and getting started,” he said. “After that, it would take four, five, maybe six months from the beginning of the year to complete.”

In order to apply for the USDA loan, the town needs to get started immediately, according to Presley.

“We’ve gathered all the information we could and helped David get it plotted,” he said. “It is now up to the Town of Rienzi to get the resolutions seeking funding.”

According to the commissioner, household incomes of prospective customers will also have to determined to ascertain the eligibility of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to help fund the project.

Since the deadline for CDBG applications is mid-May, the town would know before the end of the year whether it would

receive the funds.

“Folks in rural Mississippi deserve the same choice of energy as people living in downtown Jackson,” said Presley. “We’ve put a heck of a lot of sweat equity into it, but still have a long road ahead.”

While many expressed their excitement for the idea, one attendee wanted to be sure that upcoming actions would be purposefully thought out and well executed.

“We can’t be all Helter-Skelter about this,” he said. “It has to be organized.”

With the ball now in the Town of Rienzi’s court, Mayor Walter Williams said he is ready to get started.

“It’s up to us to go forward and do what needs to be done,” he said. “Let’s get to it now, because I’d always rather be early than late.”

The goal is to hopefully prepare resolutions in time for a city board vote in March.

Across the Region Blue Springs Naked man in tree says he was looking for dog BLUE SPRINGS (AP) — A Mississippi sheriff says a naked man has been rescued from a tree, where he was hanging head-down.

Shawn Treadaway told a deputy Tuesday he’d climbed the tree while looking for a dog, Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said Wednesday.

“He had a cable with him — I don’t know if it was to lead the dog with,” Edwards told The Associated Press. “He ended up falling. I guess the cable somehow got around his leg and he ended up dangling from the tree.”

He said Treadaway apparently had been hanging from the cable for about four hours when rescuers arrived Tuesday in Blue Springs, about 10 miles southeast of New Albany.

The sheriff said he believes branches tore off most of Treadaway’s clothes as he fell, and rescuers then cut off the remaining rags.

He said he didn’t know why Treadaway climbed a tree to look for a dog.

“He was kind of in pretty bad medical condition from hanging upside-down so long, so he wasn’t able to elaborate on a whole lot there,” Edwards said.

He said deputies didn’t conduct a toxicology screen, and Treadaway was taken to a hospital in another county. “We haven’t heard back on his condition yet,” Edwards said.

Treadaway’s girlfriend went looking for help, WTVA-TV reported. She found Jerry Feathers.

He said, “I was out walking my dog and just came home and a lady comes running down my brother’s drive. I was thinking my brother was in trouble so I go out there to help; after about three minutes in the woods I saw this man hanging upside down in the tree butt naked.”

Iuka Toddler rescued from abandoned well IUKA — The Tishomingo County Vidette reports that a 4-year-old boy was pulled from the darkness by an unknown hero on Monday afternoon after falling into a 40-foot-deep abandoned well.

Emergency officials received the call at approximately 1:03 p.m. and by 12 minutes after, a passerby who was flagged down by the child’s frantic mother stopped and used a rope and a strap in his truck to

rescue the boy.

According to first responder Jimmy Hughes of the EastportMill Creek Volunteer Fire Department, Cole Waldrep was visibly shaken and covered in mud, but was otherwise OK. He was seen walking around with his mother after being hoisted to safety.

The rescue was executed by the anonymous good samaritan before EMS could arrive.

Located on an unoccupied lot on Eastport road, the well is well-known for its annual display of daffodils which are now in full bloom.

The toddler was examined and release from the hospital on Monday morning, according to Hughes who also informed that the well had a wooden covering which the child reportedly fell through.

Waldrop and her son were reportedly taking photos when the accident occurred.

McNairy County EMS director plans countywide tornado drill (The following story by Assistant Editor Steve Beavers first appeared in the Independent Appeal. It is being reprinted with permission.)

SELMER, Tenn. — A severe weather plan could be the difference between life and death.

The McNairy County Emergency Management Agency is giving the community a chance to practice its plan when it has a countywide tornado drill on Monday, Feb. 27 as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week.

“Drills are an important part of being prepared for actual emergencies,” said McNairy County EMA Director Allen Strickland. “Citizens need to be aware of actions they can take before, during and after severe related incidents.”

The McNairy County School District will participate in the drill with local government agencies. The drill is scheduled for 9 a.m to 9:10 a.m.

Strickland urges individuals to: • Check local forecasts on a regular basis.

“Citizens should monitor local weather resources and listen for weather sirens during a severe weather incident,” said Strickland. “They should go to a secure location in their house and stay away from windows.”

• Sign up for weather notifications on a computer or cellular device.

• Create a plan of action with family for severe weather incidents.

• Practice the plan.

• Prepare your home – battery operated lights, weather radio, batteries, water and food – and help your neighbors.

• Bring pets inside if there is time.

• Stay inside until the weather passes.

“People should continue to monitor weather information following an incident,” said Strickland. “They should also contact loved ones and assess any damage or identify any hazards.”

Severe Weather Awareness Week is Feb. 26 through March

4.

All businesses which participate are invited to post photos to the McNairy County EMA Facebook page in show of support for a safer McNairy County, according to Strickland.

“I hope everyone takes a little time out of their schedule to make sure they are prepared for severe weather,” said Strickland.

“I want them prepared and safe.”

(For more information on severe weather safety, contact Strickland at 731-645-6432.)

McNairy County U.S. marshals capture registered sex offender HENDERSON, Tenn. — The U.S. Marshals arrested an escaped sex offender Tuesday morning in Henderson after a manhunt over the past several days, according to a release from the U.S. Marshals Service.

Lucas Wilson, 31, was captured by U.S. Marshals at Old Finger Road in Henderson. Wilson tried to flee from the marshals, but was arrested after a short pursuit by the officers.

Wilson had cut off his GPS monitoring device and escaped through the woods in the Refuge Road area in Bethel Springs, Tenn. on Feb. 16.

He is being charged with violation of the Sex Offender Registry Act, felony vandalism and violation of community supervision.

While Wilson had been staying in Bethel Springs, his home address is 255 Teddy Bear Lane in Counce, Tenn.

He was convicted of Criminal Attempt to Commit Aggravated Sexual Battery on Dec. 12, 2009.

Wilson was transported to the Chester County Jail where he will be held until his preliminary hearing.

Pontotoc Highway 15 expansion project ahead of schedule PONTOTOC (AP) — Work to expand a portion of Mississippi Highway 15 to four lanes is running ahead of schedule but it will still be a few years before motorists can enjoy it.

Corinth, Miss.

Sit down and shut up If you watched the recent kerfuffle -- and thanks to Mitch McConnell, we all did -- when the Senate told one of its own, Elizabeth Warren, to sit down and shut up, you probably felt one of two Rheta ways: Johnson That Elizabeth Warren should sit down and shut up.

Columnist Or, that Elizabeth Warren had every right to read into record a 1986 letter from Coretta Scott King questioning the fitness of Jeff Sessions of Alabama to be named a district court federal judge. And, what’s more, you believed a male senator in the same situation would never have been put into time out and silenced by an arcane rule.

Regardless of which side of the Great Political Divide you find yourself, those reactions are natural. Not much neutral ground these days, especially on matters concerning uppity women. (Remember Barbara Jordan? This bunch would have escorted her off the floor under armed guard. A woman both black and so righteously bold would never fly.)

But how did Elizabeth Warren feel? When she was stripped of her turn to protest in a routine way, did it shock her? Did it silence her? No, and no.

My guess is she was surprised at the stupidity but not shocked at its source. She probably even wonders why Mitch McConnell forgot to address her as “Sweetie.” The episode might have made her a bigger force than she already was.

This isn’t Elizabeth’s first spelling bee. A champion of the middle class, she has been told many times to sit down and shush.

Only she never does. What could have been a late-night nothing moment in the cabinet confirmation process became the hot topic for a news cycle. It reinforced the belief that if you have a president who brags about grabbing women by their privates, his lieutenants aren’t going to sit on the sidelines smoking Virginia Slims and reading Ms. Magazine.

The daughter of an Oklahoma maintenance man and a Sears switchboard operator, Warren grew up in tough circumstances. Her memoir, “A Fighting Chance,” tells about the family car being repossessed after her father’s illness, about her mother going to work at age 50 to rescue their house.

Elizabeth Warren wasn’t handed a family fortune, but instead figured out a way to get a college debate scholarship. Later she would attend law school while a young wife and new mother.

Warren would become a Harvard Law School professor, an expert on economics, the nemesis of corrupt bankers, an author and the creative force behind the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Not only was that agency her brainchild, she helped set it up. The agency in its first two years recovered nearly $500 million that banks fraudulently charged customers.

But when it came time to choose the agency’s first director, Republicans in Congress made it clear to President Barack Obama that appointing Warren director was a dealbreaker. Sit down and shut up. Somebody else got the job.

So she ran for the Senate.

Her story is not one of privilege, penthouses and petty grudges. She doesn’t call her political opponents names. She doesn’t ridicule others. She doesn’t constantly Tweet or tremble or talk trash.

Keep telling this “little lady,” this “Pocahontas,” this “nasty woman” that she’s been warned and to sit down and shut up and see what happens. I put my money on Elizabeth Warren to resist, persist and perhaps become president one day.

Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@ aol.com.

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that I may not neglect the help and happiness that I may give with compassion and love. Make me strong in all the senses that answer to the call of humanity. Help me to guide and protect little children, and to care for the comforts of the old.

Amen.

State struggles with budget, revenue strains STARKVILLE — Mississippi isn’t alone. About twothirds of U.S. states are engaged in the same problems confronting Mississippi.

Economic growth is stagnant. Revenue projections have been either overly optimistic or just flat wrong.

Economic influences that state legislators can’t really anticipate or change have strained state budgets. And those realities don’t begin to speak to the politics of taxing and spending.

Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson — the former GOP congressman, head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and nobody’s tax-and-spend liberal — made a wise observation late in 2016 in assessing his own state’s consideration of additional tax cut proposals.

“It does not take a Ph.D. in economics to know that we can’t say yes to every spending need, and we should also not say yes to every tax-cut idea,” said Hutchinson.

Hutchinson won the governor’s office in Arkansas on the promise of additional state income tax cuts, but after taking office and assessing the impact of prior tax cuts, he scaled his proposal back to a much smaller $50 million cut for

low income taxpayers.

Some Arkansas lawmakers are predicting that any adSid Salter ditional tax cut in that Columnist state will plunge Arkansas into the same budget and revenue turmoil that now grips some 33 U.S. states, including Mississippi. And while Mississippi’s revenue stream issues are significant and impactful in virtually every facet of state government, the Magnolia State is far from the worst state in terms of fiscal issues and remains in far better shape than many despite our unrelenting status as the poorest state in the union.

But the latest round of state budget cuts enacted to absorb continuing revenue shortfalls has forced lawmakers in both parties to question – some loudly and publicly and other quietly and privately – whether Mississippi has cut taxes too deeply and whether any additional cuts should be shelved until the current revenue stream can be stabilized.

Even with revenue short-

falls nearing $120 million for the current fiscal year, the state’s Republican majority is being challenged by Libertarian and Tea Party conservatives who chide lawmakers for not cutting tax fast enough or deep enough.

Democrats argue that Mississippi should pay attention to the Kansas example, plus point to deficits in the state’s infrastructure, education, mental health, and other major government components as reasons to tap the brakes on additional cuts.

States like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Indiana enacted large, comprehensive tax cuts and are now forced to seriously consider undoing many of those cuts and enacting tax increases. In those states and others, tax cuts and the economic strategies behind them were impacted by things beyond the control of state lawmakers like oil and gas prices.

Mississippi’s high rate of Medicaid dependence and the unknown state budget impacts of the almost certain repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) - perhaps as soon as the end of March – creates additional fiscal uncertainty.

Lost to some, but to virtu-

ally no one under the state Capitol Dome, is the fact that Gov. Phil Bryant in May 2016 signed the largest single tax cut in state history through a package of income and franchise tax phase-out reductions that will begin in 2018.

Bryant offered fellow Republicans his willingness to consider legislation to fully collect the state’s existing retail sales tax on online sales through use tax collection – and Bryant offered to consider a state lottery, noting the losses of state revenue across the borders of neighboring states in virtually every direction. But to date, both of those initiatives have met opposition from the right.

When Bryant made the fifth mid-year state budget cut in the last two years this week, he was again able to pull some money from the state’s rainy day fund.

Moving forward, all eyes will be on how close the state’s economy comes to meeting the revenue estimates between now and June 30. That performance has a great deal to do with the ability of the state to replenish the rainy day fund.

Media errs by allowing itself to become the story OXFORD — Big mistake.

To use an overused term, “Yuuge.”

The Trump administration has suckered the media into allowing itself to become the story.

Big mistake.

Every president, every congressman, every Mississippi official, every mayor, every town councilman and more than a few litter commissioners have lamented not getting a fair shake in the press, some more often than others. The well-tested response by journalists has been to admit errors, when made, then refocus on the issue at hand, which is never the press. Never.

It’s not difficult to see how the press has been unable to avoid the vortex created by a shoot from the lip candidate, now president.

Donald Trump didn’t follow the script. He was outed as a bully and a boor. He committed career-ending error after career-ending error, was exposed as fabricating facts time after time, and he got elected anyway.

Does the mass media lean left? Yes, that is also well-established through the decades. Conservatives, almost by definition, are happy with the status quo.

They are not boat-rockers.

Journalists ask questions about society, about policy. How did things Charlie get this way?

Mitchell Can there be changes?

Columnist We turn over rocks, read labels, probe.

But it’s equally true that people who do what I do are not elected, licensed or authorized. The security guard at the shopping center has earned more certificates than any of us.

And like the security guard, most of us live paycheck-topaycheck and at the whim of corporate chiefs who ask themselves all day every day whether they can get along without us.

Our job — and we really like it — is to gather information we think is useful and relevant and relay it to you. It is a value proposition. If you don’t get value, you stop sharing your most precious asset, your time, with us. We are not now and have never been respected.

Go back several years, and Gallup surveys already ranked “journalist” low in ethics and honesty. How low? We were just ahead

of lawyers, well ahead of governors and light years ahead of members of Congress, but lagged behind many fields, including bankers, chiropractors and police officers. If we did not give ourselves awards, no one else would.

Media people being media people, we don’t hold each other up to scrutiny very often. In that way, we are like lawmakers who always say “very good friend” or “esteemed colleague” when speaking of other lawmakers instead of “absolute goofball” or “lazy idiot.”

The media has many shortcomings, including “playing to the narrative.”

By any measure other than the Electoral College, Trump should not be president. So the current narrative is he will not be a good president, and there’s a lot of focus on his flaws.

His response is to state, flatly and repeatedly, that it’s all lies. And instead of reacting as media folk have in the past by nodding, smiling and sticking to the reporting the story, media folks are trying to justify their existence.

There’s all-to-frequent reliance on interviewees who are experts in sounding as if they are saying something

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

when they really aren’t.

Sadly, some news organizations feel their job is done by allowing people on either side of an issue to have equal opportunity to spew empty verbiage. It’s not.

So, is there a cure?

Yes, and it’s kind of like training a puppy to paper.

The powerful love (and need) the ink and airtime the media provide. New rule: Stop interviewing those with nothing to say.

If the president or any other public official spends 75 minutes of a 77-minute press conference attacking the media, mention it — but spend time and energy focused on what was said in the other two minutes.

Stop trying to one-up the president. Stop trying to earn respect. Understand that what people want from us is facts, context, perspective. Remember we are not the story; we tell the story.

History also shows that duplicitous folks who wind up in positions of public leadership usually fall on their own swords.

That’s how freedom of expression works, and is its greatest value.

Dental hygienists volunteer at Mission of Mercy

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

CORDOVA, Tenn. — Three McNairy County natives took part in the recent Mission of Mercy dental clinic held at Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova.

The event provided free dental care for 2,145 patients that would have cost them $1.166 million.

Volunteers Angie York Haynes, Amanda Robinson Whirley and Sonya Locke Burton were three dental hygienists who worked in the weekend clinic. This was the second year for Burton and Haynes to work at the largest mobile dental clinic in the world and the first time for Whirley. The three are graduates of McNairy Central High School.

“It is amazing how God uses so many Mid-Southerners to be His hands to help so many people,” said Burton. “I can’t really put into words how good it makes me feel to have the opportunity to serve at this clinic.”

Burton graduated from MCHS in 1989 while Haynes and Whirley were members of the Class of ‘87.

“There is no one who gets a better blessing from this event than I do,”

said Haynes. “My passion is helping the underserved and this is a great way to do it.”

Haynes won a national award for creating a program in Lauderdale County, Tenn., that allows the mentally challenged to receive free dental care in the county. She devised a program that allows each patient to receive dental care twice a year.

“If I could do this all the time (help the needy) and pay my bills, then I would do it,” said Whirley.

“The people being served thought they were being blessed, but I got a bigger blessing than any of them.”

Many people do not understand how much that proper dental care can help a person’s overall health, she said. “It can help prevent heart disease and help keep sugar levels down,” she added.

The Shelby Co. Dental Society organized the event and Bellevue donated the use of their facility for the clinic. Dr. Mitchell Godat, clinic organizer, said the event was the largest mobile dental clinic in the world and had a budget of $200,000.

Patients began lining up the night before and camped out overnight

waiting for the clinic to open at 5 a.m. The clinic was open from 5 a.m.-3 p.m. on a recent Friday and Saturday with 1,856 volunteers participating in the event.

Dental professionals were able to do fillings, extractions and cleanings -- all free of charge. They were able to do some partials and dentures as well. There was a pharmacy that provided patients with medicine for after-care.

Bellevue has four gyms and they were all filled with people working on teeth.

“I do not know how many people said ‘I love you’ during the two days of the event,” said Whirley. “This clinic proved you do not have to get a passport to do mission work. This proved to me that we have much work to do here.”

Burton said it was not just homeless people who came to be served.

Many people do not have dental insurance and can’t afford to go to the dentist, she said.

Haynes summed up the motto for the dental workers at the Mission of Mercy when she said, “We wanted to do as much as we can for the most that we can.”

Human beings must have unshakable faith

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

In graduate school, I memorized material that would likely appear on examinations, and forgot it after taking them, a practice that got me through required courses, but did little to enhance my goal of leaving the university with a well-rounded education.

As a college teacher I don’t want students to cram material into their heads for the sake of passing tests as I did, and mindful that experience is the best teacher, I assign exercises that provide them opportunities to utilize, and therefore retain, learned material.

This strategy works well in developing better word usage. Many college students possess limited vocabularies, and their addiction to text messaging worsens this deficiency. To improve students’ vocabularies, I provide lists of words as semesters progress, and require that they be used in compositions.

Those who are sincerely interested in enhancing communicative skills soon realize that, just as palettes containing the complete spectrum of colors enhance an artist’s capability to imitate nature, a large vocabulary helps students to paint with words, that is, to articulate.

I do the same with figures of speech, such as idioms, similes, metaphors, and analogies, all of which boost composition to higher levels of articulation.

Of these, the one students seem to enjoy using the most in their compositions is the analogy, which often provides means of looking at something in ways that may never have been considered before, thus adding clarification to items with which their readers may not be familiar.

Recently, I read an analogy of the Hebrews’ exodus from Egypt to the Holy Land that presented it in a more meaningful way.

I had a basic knowledge of how Moses led countless thousands on a long, difficult journey, and I understood that the march was fraught with hardship and perils through arid desert regions and mountains, and across lands inhabited by hostile people. However, not once during my study of this epic trek did I consider the logistics that would have been involved.

In the analogy I read, developed by an Army Quartermaster General using data analogous to an equal number of soldiers on a long march, the logistics were, to say the least, mind-boggling.

During the Israelites’ journey,

the general estimated that Moses would have needed at least 1,500 tons of food per day to keep people and animals from starving; since much of the journey traversed treeless wastelands, firewood for cooking and warmth at night would have amounted to around 4,000 tons a day; and they would have needed innumerable millions of gallons of water daily.

I am not sure that the numbers in this analogous recreation of the Israelites’ journey are accurate, but I am sure of this: Moses wasn’t concerned with logistics; he knew that God would attend to his needs.

He possessed what human beings — then, now and always — must have to complete their successful trek through mortality to the Promised Land of eternal life with the Savior who has walked beside them every step of the way: unshakable, unfaltering faith.

UM professors receive Excellence in Diversity Awards For the Daily Corinthian

OXFORD — Faculty members at the University of Mississippi and the university’s Medical Center have been honored with diversity awards by the Mississippi Board of Trustees of the State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).

Willa Johnson, associate professor of sociology, and Hamed Benghuzzi, professor and chair of clinical health sciences, were recognized at the IHL’s Excellence in Diversity Awards ceremony Feb. 16 in Jackson. Each was presented a plaque

by Shane Hooper, IHL trustee and chair of the Diversity Committee.

“Dr. Johnson and Dr. Benghuzzi make a profound difference on the students at the University of Mississippi and the University of Mississippi Medical Center,” Hooper said.

“They are committed to ensuring that all students are welcomed and provided every opportunity to succeed. Their dedication creates a better campus climate for all students, faculty and visitors.”

Both Johnson and Benghuzzi said they were humbled by their recognitions.

“I was surprised by the news,” Johnson said. “It is a wonderful honor. None of what has been done would be possible without the stalwart support of my department chair, Dr. Kirsten Dellinger, and my friends and colleagues in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, who are always willing to do whatever they

can to further the work of awareness and learning about diversity and inclusion.”

“I was extremely surprised and had no idea who nominated me,” Benghuzzi said. “I am so humbled and thankful to all who nominated me and to the UMMC leadership for allowing me to be part of a team that promotes diversity and inclusion.”

Each IHL member institution, as well as UMMC and Mississippi State University Division of Agricultural, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine, submitted one nomination for consideration to the board of trustees Diversity Committee.

Nominees were evaluated based on positive contributions to the campus and the state and advancing diversity among their respective institutions.

Johnson serves on the Chancellor’s Committee on the Status of Women and in other university capacities. However, she considers her diversityrelated work as a natural extension of her research and teaching.

She teaches courses on Judaism, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, disability, racism and religion, and also mentors students and faculty on the UM campus and at other universities. She utilizes every opportunity to champion equality and equal rights.

“In other words, this is not a ‘me’ award; it is a campuswide award,” Johnson said. “We live in a space that has a painful racial history, but as folks

who have inherited that history we are focused on making a positive difference in the state of Mississippi.

“I simply try to cobble together different groups of campus partners and outside funders to work on issues of mutual concern.”

Benghuzzi’s achievements in diversity include serving as adviser to more than 40 Ph.D. students, a mentor to Jackson-area high school students in UMMC’s Base Pair program and a mentor for Jackson State University’s Bridges to the Baccalaureate program. He also was a mentor for a National Science Foundation-funded biomedical science program for minority high school students.

“I have always believed diversity constitutes strength in the academic setting,” Benghuzzi said.

“I have received many national and state awards throughout my career, but this award is most meaningful because I was nominated by people

who believe I have demonstrated that all people, regardless of their social status, gender, race or religion, should be treated equally.”

The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to name the Community Service Award in memory of trustee Karen Cummins in recognition that Cummins’ life epitomized what the award is all about: helping to improve Mississippi’s communities with a welcoming and inclusive spirit.

Cummins was appointed to the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning in 2012

by Gov. Phil Bryant and served with commitment and dedication until her recent death.

Natural gas could cost less than coal for Kemper plant Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Power Co. says the power plant it’s building in Kemper County will be cheaper to run on natural gas than on its planned fuel of lignite coal unless gas prices are high.

That’s likely to be used be ammunition by critics who want state regulators to force the unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co. to absorb more of the cost of the $7 billion plant. They argue the coal-fueled plant was a mistake from the outset, and that Mississippi Power should have built a conventional natural gas plant except for overly high estimates of natural gas cost.

But Southern CEO Tom Fanning told investment analysts Wednesday that it would be unfair to penalize the company, because Mississippi regulators agreed with the proposal and ordered Mississippi Power to build the plant.

“As a matter of fairness, I cannot imagine that the company is going to be held responsible for changing gas price forecasts,” Fanning said.

He indicated the company still wants to mine lignite, gasify it, and capture carbon dioxide, as originally planned.

But because a pipeline was built to the Kemper site, the company could run it on natural gas, which might lower operating costs.

On Wednesday, the utility announced it still needs more time to complete the plant, now three years behind schedule and more than $4 billion over budget. Mississippi Power says shareholders will lose another $35 million from the delay as it removes coal ash from one of the gasifier units.

Customers could also be asked to pay more in carrying costs.

On Wednesday, Southern began to lay out its strategy to recover the plant’s cost from ratepayers. The company said that it wouldn’t seek to recover $80 million associated with part of the plant it once planned to sell to Cooperative Energy. The Hattiesburg-based entity, formerly South Mississippi Electric Power Association, annulled the deal, citing Kemper’s ballooning costs.

The company said it would file two separate rate plans by a June 3 deadline — one that would likely require a sharp, immediate rate increase, and a “rate mitigation plan” that might cushion rate increases.

A CALL TO HOLINESS When the apostle Peter wrote to the Christians of his day, they were suffering persecution. He wrote to encourage them to remain strong and be faithful in spite of what others did to them, or said about them. He speaks in the first chapter of the hope they have in Christ, and the salvation to be obtained in the end. There is then a call to be holy. We are to be holy people. We are not perfect, but just as the vessels and furnishings of the tabernacle were made and set apart for holy purposes, divine purposes, so are we as his people. Peter goes on in chapter two to speak of God’s people as “a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession.” (I Peter 2:9) To be holy, we must “prepare our minds for action, keep sober in spirit, and fix our hope completely on the grace to be brought at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (I Peter 1:12 NASB) In other words we have to think like holy people ought to think, not like worldly minded people. A holy life begins with holy thinking. Solomon said, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7) If we continually feed our mind evil, and things that are unhealthy for our spiritual well-being, how can we hope to be holy people?

Peter goes ahead in I Peter 1:13 to tell us that holiness involves changing our behavior, living as obedient children, not conforming to the old life lived and ruled by the world. Paul said in the Roman letter, “be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2) Paul wrote to Titus that we are to “deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.” (Titus 2:12).

The text of I Peter 1:15and 16 comes from Leviticus chapter eleven, in which God has given instruction to the Hebrew people about what they may and may not eat; what is clean and what is unclean.

He challenges them to be holy, just as he is holy, and has brought them out of Egypt. They were his. They were to be like him; holy in their thinking, and holy in their manner of life.

In a world that would have us conform to its standards, God keeps calling us to “be holy.”

7 orbiting worlds could sustain life Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — For the first time, astronomers have discovered seven Earth-size planets orbiting a single nearby star — and these new worlds could hold life.

This cluster of planets is less than 40 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, according to NASA and the Belgian-led research team who announced the discovery Wednesday.

The planets circle tightly around a dim dwarf star called Trappist-1, barely the size of Jupiter. Three are in the so-called habitable zone, the area around a star where water and, possibly life, might exist. The others are right on the doorstep.

FLAG CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

“He offered this last year, and we voted it down,” Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, told the House.

The House rejected the amendment with no debate; 52 members voted for for it and 65 voted against it.

All black representatives who were present rejected the amendment, as did many whites, including Republican Speaker Philip Gunn of Clinton.

Mississippi has used the flag since 1894, and voters chose to keep it in a 2001 election.

Supporters say they see history and heritage in the Confederate

battle emblem — a red field topped by a blue tilted cross dotted with 13 white stars. Opponents say the symbol is a reminder of slavery and segregation and has often been waved by Ku Klux Klan groups.

Like other Confederate symbols across the South, the Mississippi flag has come under increased scrutiny since the June 2015 massacre of nine black worshippers in a church in Charleston, South Carolina. A white man was convicted in 2016 and sentenced to death.

Before the shootings, he had posed holding the Confederate battle flag in photos that were published online.

Soon after the massacre, South

Carolina lawmakers voted to remove a Confederate battle flag that had flown outside the Statehouse for many years.

Gunn and both of the Mississippi’s Republican U.S. senators said after Charleston that Mississippi should replace its flag with a symbol that could unify people. However, during the state legislative sessions in 2016 and this year, Gunn has said he couldn’t get consensus in the Republican-majority House to consider bills to redesign the flag.

In place of the state flag, some businesses have started flying a banner to commemorate 2017 as Mississippi’s bicentennial. It does not have the Confederate image.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for the Crossroads Magazine - Family edition coming out on Saturday, followed by the Progress 2017 special edition coming out on Sunday.

Freeloading nephew needs to get help and get going D E A R ABBY: My husband’s nephew, “Jacob,” is 25 and always hanging around our Abigail house. has had Van Buren a He hard time over the last Dear Abby four years.

First, his mom committed suicide.

Two years later his dad died in his sleep.

My husband and I told Jacob we would be there when he needed advice about things.

Well, he recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend, and he’s here at my house every day -even days he’s not working.

He calls every afternoon to see what I’m cooking and expects to eat here every night.

He also expects me to drop what I’m doing to go and clean his house and wash his clothes.

I’m disabled, so it’s a struggle just to feed my husband and myself.

He also sleeps here on the weekends if he doesn’t work.

My husband and I no longer have any alone time because he’s always here.

I have tried to tell Jacob nicely that he needs his own life,

but the message isn’t getting through.

I know he has issues with being alone.

He has never learned to be by himself.

My husband is starting to get angry about the situation and wants me to “handle” it, but my words are not working. If my husband decides to say something, it will end up in a heated argument.

How can I get through to this kid without hurting him? I do love him and try to treat him like one of my own kids. -- UPSET AUNT DEAR AUNT: Talk to Jacob again. This time do it in plain English. Your nephew’s dependence on you has persisted for too long, and for everyone’s sake it needs to stop.

If you haven’t suggested grief counseling for him, you should.

Explain that you love him, but you and your husband need time to be alone together.

Point out that if he’s unable to do his own housecleaning and laundry, he should hire someone.

Do not feel guilty for speaking up.

You have done more than enough for Jacob over the last few years, and for him to expect you to cook for him every night and weekend is over the top.

DEAR ABBY: My husband quit chewing tobacco, but now he chews gum constantly, three pieces at a time.

If he’s not asleep or eating, his jaw is moving.

His chews it aggressively, rolls it around in his mouth while talking, so that it looks bad and is irritating.

He works with the public, and I’m embarrassed for him because I believe it’s bad manners to chew gum in that manner.

I don’t know how to approach him. Please advise as to how I can help him. -- EMBARRASSED FOR HIM IN CALIFORNIA DEAR EMBARRASSED: Your husband chews the way he is because he is trying to ease the pangs of withdrawal from his nicotine addiction.

Because what he’s doing is unsightly, suggest he discuss it with his doctor to see if there are other options such as a nicotine patch to help him over the hump.

And be sure to tell him how proud you are of his determination to quit.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’re such an excellent predictor of human nature, but that could get in your way today, too.

You will hear the other person more clearly when you do not anticipate what is going to be said.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Of all the things you could take a risk with, your appearance is among the least risky, with the most interesting results. Hair grows back. Outfits change in a moment. Why not have more fun with this?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re wary of wanting to fix things or save people, as this is a classic codependent tendency. However, in all likelihood, you will be able to fix, prevent, escalate or de-escalate today’s situation and with favorable results.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s not wrong to strive for validation; it’s just not attractive. But you have something else that matters to you much more than public approval, and it makes you extremely charismatic to-

day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes being happy is as simple as commanding yourself to be happy. Today is such a day. For some mysterious reason, you’re more amenable to your own suggestions than usual. Take advantage of this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Silence can say it all. It’s the timing of words that makes communication understandable. You will be especially adept at connecting with fellow earth signs Taurus and Capricorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The cosmic omens suggest that the ones who love you most will bother you best. And by best, of course, the cosmic omens mean “worst.” Why is bothering so much a part of love?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Of course you’ve taken the needs and wants of others into consideration. But ultimately, they are not the ones who have to live with the consequences.

This is about what you want to do, and you’ll make your choice.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You’ll flit from one interest to another today, and any suggestion can start you out in a new direction. This will make the products of your work fascinating to those with a more linear process -- that is, if you commit to finishing!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your sixth sense turns on today and your intuition will be accurate. The flashes of insight that come to you may not be what you want to believe, but don’t ignore them. You don’t have to act now. Watch and wait.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The circumstances at hand are not so unique as to demand an all-new solution. It will be lucky to refer to the past. You can answer a present-day problem with a precedent from antiquity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re very tolerant of other people’s ideas even if you don’t agree with them or see how they are going to lead to anything that applies to you. The world would be better if more people had this attitude.

Job market bellwether

Gap’s latest quarterly snapshot should provide insight on whether the clothing chain operator’s sales are improving.

The company, which operates Banana Republic, Old Navy and its namesake stores, has been trying to recover from a long-running malaise caused by shoppers buying less clothing in general and also favoring off-price chains like T.J. Maxx.

Wall Street predicts that Gap will report today that its fourth-quarter earnings fell from a year earlier, while its revenue edged higher.

The Labor Department reports today its latest weekly figures on unemployment benefits applications.

Unemployment aid applications rose slightly two weeks ago to a seasonally adjusted 239,000. The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, edged up to 245,250. Claims applications have been below the key threshold of 300,000 for 102 consecutive weeks, the longest stretch since 1970. When fewer people seek benefits, it suggests that employers are keeping their workers.

An old flame can cause trouble WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: In December, I went to a holiday house party, and most of the people in the crowd were my old friends from college (class of 1979). I hadn’t seen some of these people in 25 years or more.

The hostess pulled out her giant photo album, and there they were, several pictures of my favorite ex-girlfriend and me having the time of our lives. I haven’t seen or talked to her since 1985. So my big question is: Would it be kosher to write her a light and lively letter and catch up? We’ve both been married with kids for close to 30 years. (I looked her up online.) She’s the one who got away from me, but I’m not looking for any doover; we had our chances.

But I would pay big money for a time machine! What do you think? — Nostalgic in Boston Dear Nostalgic: No matter how many years have passed, to reconnect with this old flame would be playing with fire, and your whole family would be liable to get burned.

If you didn’t feel that this woman was the one who got away, I would say sure, you could strike up a friendship. But because you’re still wishing for a time machine, I think you’d

Dear Annie better keep your distance. I’d also recommend taking off those rose-colored glasses when looking at your past. There was a reason you two broke up.

Reminisce about your college days as much as you’d like, but don’t try to resurrect them.

Dear Annie: When I saw the letter from “Feeling Neurotic,” the young person who is experiencing random bouts of anxiety and dread, the words “sense of impending doom” jumped off the page at me. Just put the word “overwhelming” in front and you have the exact phrase I’ve used to describe how I feel sometimes. The first time it happened, I was 50 years old and driving down the road. Nine years later, I still experience these episodes, but on a very infrequent basis.

Minus the obsessivecompulsive behavior, “Feeling Neurotic” and I share the same confusing experience. There is no apparent reason for that feeling, no particular stimulus, no way of explaining or understanding or predicting it. Over

time, I’ve learned to roll with it by reasoning that it is just a feeling — that it always passes in a short time and there is no harm other than the “sense of impending doom” itself.

I think the OCD behavior is a self-defense response. Because the anxiety attack is illogical, there is no apparent cause for it and there is no tangible threat to respond to, “Neurotic” is compelled by the brain’s self-defense mechanism to do something, anything, even if that something is illogical.

I hope this high-school sophomore is able to learn to deal with this. The first step is to accept that the anxiety attacks are not a harbinger of doom and to control the obsessivecompulsive impulse. I’m sure it can be done. — Anxious in New England Dear Anxious: Thank you for sharing your experience.

I’m sharing your insights here with the hope they help “Feeling Neurotic,” as well as other readers who experience anxiety attacks.

Kent’s Corner: Corinth, Biggersville boys hope to advance With basketball season winding down and softball and baseball about to heat up, I thought I’d take this opportunity to briefly review the 201617 hardwood campaign and preview the two upcomKent ing North Half Mohundro second round games for Sports Editor Corinth and Biggersville.

I have to be honest with you: there was nothing that shocked me about this roundball season with the

exception of the Alcorn Central boys winning only two games — the second one coming on closing night. I guess you could argue that I should have seen it coming with the youth and inexperience of coach Mike Lewis’ squad, but I have never witnessed a Golden Bear squad endure the kind of season like they just experienced.

I was happy to see the Biggersville and Corinth girls both make North Half after each had less-thanimpressive beginnings to their seasons. Then to see both of them have to travel long distances for their first

round North Half games and coming within a combined six points of still playing this Friday was impressive.

Those will be two teams to watch next season.

The Kossuth girls had a nice turnaround with 20 wins after posting just a handful of victories last year.

Coach Chris Byrd has done a nice job in his two short years in getting the Lady Aggies back on solid footing.

And to get you Kossuth fans even more excited about future prospects, there wasn’t a senior on the team. That’s right, the Lady Aggies will be back in full force.

Coach Joe Dan Roberts got his Aggies to North Half play, although they will lose five seniors, including TJ Essary, Dalton Lovelace and Kennedy Dye. Both Tishomingo County programs made significant progress this season, and the Lady Braves won three division 1-4A games, their first division wins in two years.

Coach Brian Middleton won a state title last season at Oak Hill Academy in West Point and has his sights set on similar results in Iuka.

Marvin Williams: What might have been

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

BOLIVAR, Tenn. — Marvin Williams was told one week before the “super school” McNairy Central High School opened in the fall of 1969 that he would only be coaching girls basketball and not both teams.

Williams was disconsolate after hearing the news because he had prepared both teams in the summer to mesh all the players from Selmer, Bethel Springs, Michie and Ramer into one.

The former Ramer High coach had been informed in the spring of ‘69 he would be the head coach of the Bob-

cats and Lady Bobcats in that first season.

“I was called into the principal’s office and Mr. Jerry Smith (MCHS Williams principal) said that he had decided to go with (Jimmy) Lefty Skelton as the boys coach,” said Williams. “This is nothing against Lefty because he is a good coach, but I was really disappointed at not getting to coach both teams. We had worked hard that summer to pull all the players together.”

Williams went on to win

two state tournaments with Bolivar’s girls, finished second another year and carried the boys’ team to the state tournament as well.

The long-time mystery has been whether Williams would have left MCHS for Bolivar after a single season if he were still coaching both teams at McNairy Central.

“I don’t know for sure what I would have done had I been coaching both teams at McNairy Central,” said Williams.

“McNairy had a lot of girls’ talent from the start and would have for several years. I left with Marilyn Gilchrist and Rosie Baxter coming in as freshmen and that would have

been a state championshiptype team. I believe we would have won two girls’ state championships and maybe more because I was used to coaching most of those girls from Ramer.”

Bolivar offered Williams the job of coaching boys and girls just past the midway point of his first and only season at MCHS. The Hardeman County native agreed to take the job and left after the first season at MCHS. The coach said had he coached McNairy boys that first year that former Ramer stars J.B.

Earnhardt wants title win before riding into retirement The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Upon further review, hoisting a championship trophy is exactly how Dale Earnhardt Jr. wants to end his career.

NASCAR’s most popular driver caused a stir on “The Dan Patrick Show” when he claimed he would immediately retire if he wins the title this year. The statement followed

him to media day for the Daytona 500, and there was no question about it.

“Hell, yeah. I would definitely not want to come back and try to race anymore if I won the championship. I would be outta here,” he said. “That’s the last box I don’t have checked, really. There’s a few races I’d like to win. The championship would definitely be the icing

on the cake for my career.”

Earnhardt is the son of Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt, who won a record-tying seven championships over his career. As Earnhardt enters the 18th season of his Cup career, he’s still seeking his first title.

He’s said repeatedly that retirement is not on his radar, and at just 42 years old, he should have many years ahead

in his career. But Earnhardt has had concussion issues and missed the second half of last season recovering from one.

He is also newly married and says he is looking at life differently.

Rebels self-impose postseason ban The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi has self-imposed a one-year postseason football ban for the 2017 season after officials say the school received an amended Notice of Allegations from the NCAA that alleges more rules violations by the program.

The school did not release the NOA, but discussed its contents in a 21-minute video posted on YouTube on Wednesday afternoon.

The school said the NCAA

has added eight new violations, including six that are Level I, which the NCAA deems most serious.

The university has also been charged with lack of institutional control.

The new charges include cash payments from boosters and also involve previous staff members.

The eight new violations are on top of 13 previous violations from the NCAA’s previous NOA in 2016. The program is now facing 15 Level I violations.

“Turkey” Patterson would have likely played that season for MCHS. Robinson left early in the season and Patterson went on to star at Biggersville High School.

Williams had a good resume prior to coming to MCHS after building state tournament teams in both girls and boys at Ramer High. His primary achievement at Ramer was helping to integrate the school, and he also led both boys and girls teams to the state tournament.

Gill Gideon, once the TSSAA Executive Director, tipped off Williams about two young players — Eddie Patterson and Ed Pollard — at the African-American state tournament: only both were not starting for the Selmer team. Gideon and Williams were childhood friends in Whiteville.

Williams said Patterson is the best player he has ever coached with Bolivar’s Ernest Jones the next best player.

“He told me a good coach could take those two players and build a good program,” remembered Williams. “I talked to their parents and they agreed Eddie and Ed would come to play at Ramer. Eddie came to shoot some in the gym later, reached in the closet to get a basketball, then went and crammed it in the goal. I was excited because we did not have anyone that could dunk.”

TSSAA rules prevented dunking at the time in the mid-’60s.

Williams began his career at Ramer in 1963 and then integrated the team in 1965 with the addition of Patterson and Pollard. The standout players quickly elevated the Eagles to a higher level

and Ramer began beating teams with much higher enrollments. He integrated the girls team with Charlotte Avery Clayton in 1966.

He still thinks about the Eagles losing to a large Memphis school Woodstock in the Mid-South Coliseum. If they had a classification plan in 1968, Williams feels the Eagles could have won the state tournament.

A fond remembrance of Williams’ time at Ramer was how well the town supported the teams while he was the coach.

The school provided him a trailer to live in across the road from the school.

“It makes me feel good that people feel I helped with integration at Ramer,” Williams said. “The community accepted the African-American players and made them feel welcome at the school.”

While Williams spent only one season at MCHS, he still has fond memories of his one season “On the Hill.” He had former Ramer players Kathy Hamm, Charlotte Avery, Gloria Smith, Judy Fortune and Dianne Gilbert on the first Lady Bobcats team.

“I had four starters from my Ramer team that year and that made the consolidation easier,” said Williams. “We added Shearon Jackson and Wanda Gilchrist to build a really strong team. We lost one game in the regular season and then lost to JCM in the region championship game which put us out.”

Williams will be one of 10 new members will be inducted into the TSSAA Hall of Fame at the annual luncheon at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Murfreesboro on Saturday, April 1.

Tigers back on diamond Saturday Pitcher Skylar Defer and the Northeast Tigers will be back in action this Saturday at Calhoun Community College in Alabama beginning at noon. Head coach Richy Harrelson’s squad is 3-3 on the young season after a recent home sweep of Southwest Tennessee Community College.

EARNHARDT ond for Sunday’s seasonopening Daytona 500 — on just wants to dictate his final the front row next to Henracing years himself and not drick Motorsports teamhave a doctor be the one to mate Chase Elliott — and is end his career. the star of Speedweeks.

But son raised awareness on if I win the championship, concussions in racing, and I’d have to consider going NASCAR this year has out on top.” beefed up its concussion Earnhardt qualified sec- policy in an effort to better CONTINUED FROM 10

detect head injuries.

Danica Patrick, who raced for years in IndyCar before moving to NASCAR, estimated she’s suffered a dozen concussions in her career.

“Every time you crash you have a concussion on a varying degree, I’m sure,” she said. “It is a little bit thought-provoking ... because while we’re not football players, we don’t get the repeated hits like in succession over a short amount

of time, but it’s rough in the car and the hits are probably singularly bigger.

“There’s nothing better than having somebody like Dale Jr. going so far as to get out of the car for as long as he did and saying, ‘Hey, I have a problem,’ because it makes it more available for everyone else. I think we like to sweep it all under the rug as drivers like we feel fine and nothing is wrong, but it’s our life.”

game winning streak and their four losses have come against Ingomar, Calhoun City, Itawamba AHS and Pontotoc. The latter two losses came in the season’s first two games at the Bank of Pontotoc Classic.

Will Biggersville coach Cliff Little be able to lead his team to the upset on the road? I’m an optimist so I’ll just leave it at “it’s possible.” But the Lions will be heavy underdogs.

On the plus side, senior leader Greg Robinson is back and that can’t hurt.

Corinth is up against another juggernaut similar to what they faced with McComb in last year’s state championship contest.

The Gators are 26-1 and

ranked in the state’s Top10. Their lone loss came way back on Dec. 16 when they dropped a 62-52 decision at home to Neshoba Central. Since that setback, they have reeled off 19 consecutive Ws. They topped Lafayette County 50-37 on Tuesday in the first round and will look to end the Warriors season short of a trip to Jackson to play for a second straight gold ball.

Can coach Keith Greene and his 21-9 squad muster enough magic to pull of the upset three hours away from home? Yes they can. Will they? We’ll know about 8:30 on Saturday night.

But there’s one thing I’ll never waiver on: never count the Warriors out.

CORNER CONTINUED FROM 10

Dailey was a highlysuccessful coach at Marshall Academy and has returned home to take TCHS to higher plateaus.

Alcorn Central Lady Bears head coach Charlette Foster also saw her young team go through some growing pains this season but loses only one senior, so the future looks good in Glen.

This is by no means an exhaustive review of all area teams, but it gives you some idea of what to expect next season.

Turning our attention to the North Half playoffs, the only area teams still alive are the Biggersville and Corinth boys. And before we go any further,

let me say I have a strong feeling about what will transpire this Saturday — but anything can happen.

For proof, look no further than last year’s Warrior squad that won the State 4A championship against all odds.

Biggersville will have the shorter trip as they travel to face Houlka.

Many sports fans reading this article will remember Jimmy Guy McDonald when he coached at Kossuth years ago. The veteran head coach returned home to Houlka years ago and has his Wildcats primed to advance with a 24-4 record and a 69-43 win over Hickory Flat this past Tuesday.

Houlka is riding a 13-
