One Alcorn County bridge was closed on Friday by action of federal bridge inspectors, and the closing of another in the city on Droke Road was delayed as work on the structure was to begin late Monday.

The closed bridge is located

Alcorn County Board of Supervisors approved the local cooperative agreement and right of entry necessary to allow the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District to begin work on the Droke Road bridge, which will include placement of a temporary bridge. With the board’s approval, TRVWMD

was expected to arrive later on Monday.

Property easements are in hand, and the city is providing all of the materials to complete the project. Although the bridge is in the city limits, the county must act as the sponsoring agent to request assistance from TRVWMD.

“They do have several more counties where they are going to have to come in and put in temporary bridges as well, but we’re first on the list,” said Sandy Mitchell, district clerk with the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Resurfacing on tap for 8 county roads

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County will try a new surfacing method on an upcoming round of State Aid road projects.

The Office of State Aid Road Construction approved an amended program of work with some changes to the included county roads and a switch in the surfacing type.

“It is switching from the chip seal and fog seal to a slurry seal, which has the ride and appearance more akin to asphalt,” said Johnny Crotts of Cook Coggin Engineers.

“There’s never been one done in Alcorn County, but we’ve had a high success rate with them in other counties. It’s a fairly new method.”

Slurry seal is a cold mix paving system using aggregate, asphalt emulsion and fillers.

The work, totaling about 22-and-a-half miles of roadway, is expected to begin late this year or early next year.

The roads include: • Wheeler Grove Road (CR 512); 5 miles • Mathis Store Road (CR 655) north to Please see ROADS | 2

The vision to make walking tracks at area parks better accessible for everyone has grown stronger.

Park officials meet with city leaders and state and local Loins Club members at Crossroads Regional Park recently to put the

final touches on a plan dreamed up by local Justice Court Judge Steve Little.

“These will be needed improvements,” said Park Director Ray Holloway. “Changes at both Crossroads Regional Park and Bishop Park will make the current Please see PARKS | 2

Broadway performer draws ‘full house’

The Corinth Symphony Orchestra’s concert “A Tribute to Broadway” was performed with special guest soloist — and true Broadway star — Laurie Gayle Stephenson. The Saturday concert drew a full house crowd to the Coliseum Civic Center.

The historic Coliseum Civic Center was transformed into Broadway for a “full house” crowd for Saturday evening’s concert.

The Corinth Symphony Orchestra’s concert “A Tribute to Broadway” was performed with special guest soloist — and true Broadway star — Laurie Gayle Stephenson.

Rosemary Williams, interim board president for the CSO, said, “Laurie Gayle’s performance was magnificent as we knew it would be. She is a wonderful person to work with and we hope she will come back in the future.

She was very complimentary about Corinth and recalled her visits here as a college student visiting Pamela Palmer. We had a

full house for the concert with visitors from as far away as LaGrange, Ga., East Tennessee, Alabama, Memphis, Germantown, Jackson, Yazoo City, Oxford and other Mississippi towns.”

CSO Conductor Maurice Weatherall was also still basking in the euphoria of a strong and successful concert performance.

“It was spectacular. It was the highlight of my conducting career, to be able to work with a Broadway star of the caliber of Laurie Gayle Stephenson ... it is a dream come true,” said Weatherall.

To ensure the quality of the performance, Weatherall laid out a grueling rehearsal schedule. He said the orchestra rehearsed for almost seven hours on Saturday, with only a two hour break, then they

came back and did a two hour concert.

The end result made the conductor proud.

“It was a amazing — the performance quality the orchestra exhibited,” he said.

The conductor said one of the most important things he and the orchestra learned was about how real stars conduct themselves. He said Stephenson was humble, downto-earth and easy to work with.

“She is an amazing person,” he said.

Williams also praised the orchestra’s performance as “outstanding.” She said the group chosen for the concert was made up of musicians within a 100mile radius and some of Corinth’s own such as Sara Ellington, pianist; Bobbie Campbell, flutist; and Mat-

thew Louis, trumpet, and others from nearby towns.

A CD was recorded of the concert by recording engineer J.J. Jobe, but Weatherall said it would be a while before a CD would be released as they had to ensure quality to “capture as much of the essence of the original program” as possible and some other details that would need to be researched before releasing.

In the wake of the successful performance, Williams said the CSO Board of Directors is already looking ahead.

“They are already looking forward to helping plan the next season with conductor Maurice Weatherall,” said Williams. “The season will start in early October. They plan to continue similar themes with a variety of music.”

Selmer, Tenn.

Church rededicates building after tornado SELMER — Less than two years after a tornado ripped through its community, a congregation in Selmer came together Sunday morning, to rededicate its church building, according to WBBJ-TV. The 2015 tornado destroyed it, but after working tirelessly members unveiled their new

home.

Starting over can be a difficult task, but Falcon Baptist Church has proven that with determination and faith anything is possible. Smiling faces and hearts filled with joy abounded as members stepped inside their new building.

“We’ve done what God wanted us to do in building this church back.” Pastor Jay Houston said. “And I know that he wants to use it for a light for his kingdom.”

For 14 months the congregation held services in the fellowship hall after a tornado came through in December 2015.

“Had a lot of damage to the church, had a lot of church family members that lost their homes here but by the grace of God nobody was hurt.” Pastor Houston said.

Jan Martin, chairman of the building committee, said he was there almost every week while the church was under construction. Through it all Martin feels the congregation has gotten stronger as a result.

“Prayer and faith in the Lord that’s what it’s all about if it’s not there it’s not going to happen.” Martin said.

Pastor Jay Houston said thanks to a combination of money from insurance, donations and prayers he doesn’t have to worry about building expenses.

“By the grace of God we owe no man anything…we’ve been reborn and we want to be a light in this community.”

Pastor Houston says he would like to thank everyone for their prayers, and the congregation for sticking with the church through the construction.

Oxford Unopposed Tannehill becomes mayor-elect OXFORD (AP) — Robyn Tannehill has become Oxford’s mayor-elect since no one else entered the race by last week’s deadline.

Local news outlets report Tannehill is now officially running unopposed, making her the city’s next mayor. Friday at 5 p.m. was the deadline for anyone else to file paperwork to run against her.

No one else did. Therefore, Tannehill will be the only candidate on the ballot for mayor during the June 6 election.

Tannehill announced her candidacy after Mayor Pat Patterson said in December that he would not be running for reelection.

She has been an Oxford

resident for nearly 30 years and is a graduate of the University of Mississippi. She has also served as the president of the Oxford-Lafayette Count Chamber of Commerce and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council.

Oxford Man arrested following apartment shooting OXFORD — One man is in custody following a shooting at an apartment complex in Oxford Sunday.

Police say they were called to the Gather Apartment Complex on Hathorn Road around 3 p.m. with a report of gunfire.

Officers spoke to witnesses at the scene and recovered ten shell casings in the parking lot.

They identified Rashaun Weekly, 20, of Charleston as the shooter and took him into custody.

Investigators say charges are pending and no bond has been set.

No one was injured and the weapon has been recovered.

Amory Man faces charges for brass knuckles AMORY — An Amory man is facing charges after police found brass knuckles in his possession during a shoplifting investigation.

Investigators say they received the initial call on Friday at a Highway 278 business.

Officers spoke with Dylan Cayson, 23, and took him into custody after finding the weapon in his possession.

Cayson is charged with a felony charge of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

He also faces misdemeanor charges.

Cayson is currently in the Monroe County jail on a hold for the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Pontotoc Man dies, other injured in apartment fire PONTOTOC — One man is dead and another man is seriously injured after a fire this afternoon at a Pontotoc apartment.

Pontotoc City Fire Chief Lance Martin said the fire occurred at approximately 1:08 p.m. Saturday at 180 E. Hud St. Apt. 2A in Pontotoc.

The identity of the deceased was not being released pending positive identification and notification of kin.

The person who was seriously injured was identified as Thomas Foreman. He was airlifted to Memphis in serious condition. Foreman is a resident of that apartment.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the state fire marshal, who was on the scene Saturday.

Martin said it appeared the fire started in the living room area.

Hud Street is located off Industrial Drive near downtown Pontotoc.

Tupelo Salvation Army to build new shelter TUPELO — The Salvation Army inched closer to construction of its new facility after securing bids from companies over the past few months, according to the Daily Journal.

Work on the new facility is slated to begin over the next two weeks, Major Jeff Daniel said.

“We plan to have the new facility finished between the end of August and the end of October,” Daniel said. “Renovations on the old facility should be completed by the end of December.”

The charitable organization teamed with local business leaders to launch a $2.5 million capital campaign in 2015 to renovate and expand the Carnation Street campus.

Since then, the Salvation Army has received $2.4 million, with $1.3 million of that number in cash, through pledges from businesses, the city of Tupelo, Lee County Supervisors and private citizens in the community.

The Red Shield Lodge is the only homeless shelter in northeast Mississippi. The next closest shelters are in Birmingham and Memphis.

The lodge is separated into two dormitories, with seven beds for women and 10 beds for men. However, there is no place for families to be together.

“The need for shelters in this area is so great, especially with the growing trend of homeless families,” Daniel said. “Generally, we see single women with children, but every now and then we get a single father with children.”

According to Daniel, if a single mother has a daughter or a boy below the age of 10, the child can stay with the mother in the women’s dormitory. However, if the son is 10 or older, the child cannot stay in the women’s dormitory and is too young to stay with the men.

Corinth, Miss.

Legislature debates finance bills The deadline for House committees to pass Senate bills occurred last Tuesday.

Any Senate bills that did not make it out of these committees died. Throughout the rest of the week, the House ‘Bubba’ met to discuss Senate bills as Carpenter a whole.

Both the House and Sen1st District ate introduced bills regardRepresentative ing campaign finance this year. This week the House discussed the Senate’s version, Senate Bill 2689. The Senate version included a grandfather clause exempting campaign accounts created before the bill would go into effect and provided more specific definitions that would clarify the bill. House members compromised on this bill with their own version by inserting language from the House’s campaign finance bill. This transferred more authority to the Mississippi Ethics Commission and clarified situations in which campaign funds would not be allowed for use. The bill passed by a vote of 102-12.

Senate Bill 2625 garnered a lot of discussion when introduced to the House floor this week. While the bill simply makes a few technical corrections to legislation passed last year, some representatives expressed concern about how the previous bill is affecting state agencies. The bill passed last year authorized a yearly sweep of the special funds of 15 state agencies into the state general fund. Agencies now have to ask for that money from the general fund instead of having it automatically allocated to them in special funds. Supporters say that this allows funding to be distributed to areas that need it and adds transparency in how money in special funds is being used. Those opposed say that agencies should be able use the money at their own discretion as they have in years past. The new technical corrections proposed passed by a vote of 84-33.

A couple of items were added to previous legislation with the passage of Senate Bill 2305, known as the “move over bill.” Legislation which formerly required drivers to yield right-of-way to emergency vehicles will now include mail carrier vehicles in the list of public servants for which drivers must move out of the way on the road.

House members passed Senate Bill 2006, which will require mammogram providers to alert patients to dense breast tissue that may cause problems in the future. Currently, patients simply receive information about whether the test was positive or negative without being alerted that there may be tissue that indicates possibility of future complications.

Legislators honored several Mississippians at the Capitol this week for their personal accomplishments and positive representation of our state. On Tuesday, members presented a concurrent resolution to the 2016 Alcorn State University Women’s Tennis Team for winning the 2016 Southwestern Athletic Conference Women’s Tennis Tournament.

On the same day, Blues musician Bobby Rush was honored for winning the first Grammy of his career at the 59th annual Grammy Awards in early February for his album “Porcupine Meat.” Later in the week, legislators recognized Mississippi NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Miss Mississippi 2016 Laura Lee Lewis for their titles and accomplishments.

Several groups visited legislators at the Capitol this week, including the Alcorn State University National Alumni Association, the National Association of Social Workers, Keep Mississippi Beautiful, the Desoto County Economic Development Council and the Mississippi Sickle Cell Foundation.

Lester “Bubba” Carpenter represents Mississippi House District 1, including Tishomingo County and parts of Alcorn County, in the Mississippi legislature.

Prayer for today Lord God, I beseech thee to give me the strength which endures. Grant that I may have the ceaseless content which is secured by choosing and continuing in the right way.

From the wealth of each day renew my hope, and quiet my soul with the calm of thy peace.

Amen.

A verse to share Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, —Romans 5:1

What Sanders didn’t say about Nissan STARKVILLE — On Saturday, the United Auto Workers, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, actor Danny Glover, the NAACP, and fellow political travelers brought the “March on Mississippi” to Canton to continue to peddle the narrative that “workers’ rights equals civil rights.”

Sanders, the Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats in Congress, has identified in the past as democratic socialist. He has been a prounion voice throughout his political career.

Yet in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, the UAW endorsed Hillary Clinton over Sanders, citing her “experience” and “electability.” On the UAW’s website this week, Sanders offered this comment regarding the scheduled march in Mississippi: “I am proud to join in fighting to give workers at Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi, plant the justice, dignity and the right to join a union that they deserve. Nissan has union representation at 42 out of its 45 plants around the world. The American South should not be treated differently. What the workers at the Nissan plant in Mississippi are do-

ing is a courageous and enormously important effort to improve their lives.”

Sid Salter With our state’s unColumnist deniable history of civil rights atrocities in our past, Mississippi makes an almost cinematic background for presenting the theme that both Mississippians and the wider world should equate civil rights with the UAW’s quest for a union vote at the Nissan plant in Canton.

As noted before, the struggle for “civil rights” sounds far more noble and desirable than what is actually happening in Canton and across the landscape of foreign-owned automobile manufacturing plants in the South — which is a desperate struggle for survival by a weakened labor union that has endured a 75 percent membership decline since 1979.

With Detroit now a bankrupt remnant of the Golden Age of American automobile manufacturing, the UAW now must literally find a new host on which to feed for union dues. The

right-to-work states in the South are the prime targets, and the foreign-owned manufacturers that helped build “Detroit South” are truly the only possible salvation of the desperate UAW. The bottom line is that the UAW is a union in decline that must infiltrate Southern auto plants to survive. It wants to take from the success of these transplanted auto factories in the South to perpetuate its own organizations – and it wants to do so in the name of the nobility of civil rights.

Where the “civil rights” argument flounders at Nissan is that the complaints of pro-union workers are the same complaints everywhere that the UAW is pushing a vote.

But as a political exercise, the “civil rights” narrative is a clear union strategy because it courts media attention and draws less criticism than the economic realities of their efforts to infiltrate the Deep South U.S. operations of foreign automakers.

Here is what Sen. Sanders didn’t tell the people attending the “March on Mississippi.”

Since opening in 2003,

Nissan has employed more than 6,000 Mississippians and created an additional 2.9 jobs for every job at the plant. A 2016 study by Mississippi State University’s National Strategic Planning and Analysis Research Center shows approximately 25,000 direct and indirect jobs created throughout Mississippi that link to Nissan. Nissan also generates $300 million in annual state and local tax revenues.

Nissan adds $2.9 billion to the annual state GDP – up from $2.5 billion in 2013. Median family income is up in Madison County by $2,673 ($75,673 now vs $73,000 in 2013) – national average is $65,443. Median family income in Detroit, Michigan, in 2015 was $68,516.

This is a business fight over unionizing an automobile manufacturing plant, nothing more and nothing less. The union hopes that global companies like Nissan will simply buckle under weight of false claims of civil rights violations and capitulate — creating higher membership numbers and bolstering the revenue stream of the UAW.

Legislators love to try to micromanage JACKSON — Every year, Mississippi legislators deal with bills that could fall under the heading: Things You Shouldn’t Have to Tell a Sensible Adult.

A case in point this year is Senate Bill 2305 , which says drivers must slow down and give space on the road to rural mail carriers who are making deliveries.

Failure to do so would be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $250 to $1,000.

No sensible adult should have to be told to mind their manners behind the wheel, but the legislation was clearly written because some folks can’t seem to find their brakes or move over and give a decent amount of space when they see the mail carrier’s flashing lights.

The bill passed the Senate 52-0 and the House 115-1, and is headed to Gov. Phil Bryant.

Some bills are written with specific pet peeves in mind. One this year was House Bill 511 , which proposed a fine of $5 to $50 for people who drive slowly in the left lane of a highway.

Rep. Cory Wilson, RMadison, spoke in favor of the bill in the House Emily TransportaWagster tion ComPettus mittee, saying he had Capitol Dome heard from people who are exasperated by other drivers who linger in the left lane. The proposal would have covered four-lane highways, not those with two lanes only.

The House voted 89-32 to ban the left-lane lollygagging. But, the Senate Highways and Transportation Committee killed the proposal. For now, slow driving in the left lane will still earn you a dirty look, but not a fine.

Legislators also love to micromanage, especially when it comes to education.

Senate Bill 2273 says cursive writing must be taught in public schools before the end of fifth grade. It’s not as if the old-school handwriting style is completely

ignored. On the state Department of Education website, the word “cursive” is mentioned several times in the outline for English language standards for grades 2 through 8, but always as an option. Students can demonstrate their knowledge by printing, writing in cursive or using a computer keyboard.

The cursive bill was filed

by Republican and Democratic senators and passed with broad bipartisan support. The House made minor changes and is sending the bill back to the Senate.

It will then go to Gov. Bryant, where it could get his endorsement through his easy-to-read cursive signature.

House Bill 211 proposed shortening the school year from 180 days to 170. And, for good measure, it said the academic year could start no sooner than the Tuesday after Labor Day — a change that would likely wreak havoc on schools that like to conduct end-ofsemester exams before the Christmas break. That bit of micromanagement died

in the House Education Committee, as did House Bill 866 , which would have limited statewide standardized testing to no more than three days year.

Republican Rep. Becky Currie of Brookhaven, who’s usually a champion of small government, filed House Bill 348 , which said students should be allowed to drink water on the school bus. Currie said it’s not right for people to put children “on a tin can in 110-degree weather” and tell them they can’t have water. Democratic Rep. Kathy Sykes of Jackson, who is Currie’s political opposite but empathized with the thirsty youngsters, signed on as a co-sponsor.

The water-on-the bus bill passed the House 107-8, even after Democratic Rep. John Hines of Greenville asked what would happen if students packed bottles of vodka instead of water. But, the bill dried up and died in the Senate Education Committee.

Miss Sterling, the lesson I’ve never forgotten

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Our high school biology teacher instructed us to pick any wild creature inhabiting the Mississippi Delta, read up on it, and write an essay about our findings.

I chose starlings. Imported to America a century ago, starlings have thrived, largely because they feast on anything providing nourishment. Highly intelligent, they mimic many creatures, including humans.

To test this ability, I captured a starling. Although it never learned to talk, the bird played a key role in a lesson I’ve never forgotten.

Miss Sterling, a woman with a severe, no-nonsense face and darting, intimidating eyes, substituted when our mathematics teacher became ill.

My cruel prank did far more than reciprocate that intimidation. Noticing she always placed

Standing before his desk, I noticed my starling essay lying atop a stack of papers. Instead of accusing me of lying when I denied having anything to do with the prank, he said, “If you are telling me the truth, you will tell Miss Sterling the truth also.” her grade book in the desk’s top drawer after roll call, I slipped into the classroom early one Friday morning and put my starling in the drawer. When she opened it, the bird escaped through an open window, but not before fluttering straight into her face. Instantly, terror supplanted severity, her eyes rolled back in her head, and she slumped to the floor.

When our regular teacher returned, so did Miss Sterling — just long enough to tell Dr. Hall,

our principal, that she would no longer be available to substitute, and that the starling prank couldn’t have been crueler, given the fact the she was terrified of birds.

Dr. Hall never missed an opportunity to impart Bible-based life lessons to students, and my evil prank offered him just such an opportunity. I was summoned to his office.

Standing before his desk, I noticed my starling essay lying atop a stack of papers. Instead

of accusing me of lying when I denied having anything to do with the prank, he said, “If you are telling me the truth, you will tell Miss Sterling the truth also.”

After Miss Sterling invited us into her home, Dr. Hall said, “This young man denies putting the starling in your desk, and I have no reason not to believe him. Now I want him to tell you the truth also.”

Miss Sterling sensed that a fierce battle was raging inside me — a battle between truth and falsehood, courage and cowardice. Truth and courage won.

“Miss Sterling, please forgive me. Had I known how much birds terrify you….” She hugged me as the sobs started.

Dedicated educators inculcate students with lessons essential for leading decent, productive, successful lives. Dr. Hall, one of the most honorable God-fearing, God-loving, Godserving Christian men I have

ever known, was that kind of educator. That day he taught me what The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., taught thousands when he said, “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.”

Those of us to whom Dr. Hall’s wisdom provided a foundation for loving, forgiving lives will never forget him. I haven’t … not since the day he led me to tell the truth about the starling and Miss Sterling.

Confederate flag fight Marsh achieves Modern moves to new battlefield Woodmen Inner Circle

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — A long-running feud over the Confederate battle emblem on the Mississippi flag is moving onto a new legal battlefield.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday over reviving a 2016 lawsuit filed by an African-American attorney, Carlos Moore. He contends the flag is “state-sanctioned hate speech.”

In a state with a 38 percent black population, Moore says the flag sends an unconstitutional message that black residents, including his young daughter, are second-class citizens.

The flag has been used since 1894, causing division for generations. Opponents say it’s a reminder of slavery and segregation, while supporters say it represents history and heritage.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves dismissed Moore’s suit in September, saying Moore lacked legal standing to sue because he failed to show the emblem caused an identifiable legal injury. Moore wants the appeals court to order Reeves to hold a full trial on his arguments.

“To the extent Judge Reeves discussed the merits, he had some things to say which were very much in accord with the allegations Carlos made,” said Moore’s attorney, Mike Scott.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said repeatedly that if the flag design is to be reconsidered, it should be done by the voters, not by lawmakers or the courts.

On behalf Bryant, state assistant attorneys general Douglas Miracle and Harold Pizzetta wrote in arguments to the appeals court: “The district court was correct that Moore fails to identify that part of the Constitution that guarantees a legal right to be free of anxiety.”

Mississippi’s state flag is the last in

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said repeatedly that if the flag design is to be reconsidered, it should be done by the voters, not by lawmakers or the courts. the nation to prominently feature the Confederate battle emblem — a red field topped by a blue X dotted with 13 white stars. In a 2001 referendum, voters chose to keep it.

Like other Confederate symbols, the Mississippi flag has come under increased scrutiny since the June 2015 killings of black worshippers in South Carolina. The white man convicted in 2016 in that case had posed with the Confederate battle flag in photos published online. Several cities and counties and seven of Mississippi’s eight public universities have stopped flying the state flag.

In dismissing Moore’s suit, Reeves, who is also African-American, picked apart arguments made outside the courtroom by many flag supporters who say Mississippi’s secession from the union before the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery.

Reeves quoted the state’s 1861 secession declaration, which said: “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery — the greatest material interest of the world.”

Then, the judge continued in his own words: “To put it plainly, Mississippi was so devoted to the subjugation of African-Americans that it sought to form a new nation predicated upon white supremacy.”

BRIDGE CONTINUED FROM 1

After placement of the temporary bridge, she is hopeful TRVWMD will be able to return in the near future to repair the existing structure.

The county previously submitted a request for assistance on behalf of the city with the Droke Road Bridge late in 2015, but the current situation moved it up in priority. There was talk of replacing it with a rail car structure.

The bridge serves a sparsely populated area with one house and three farms. It is also the city’s route of access to the Phillips Creek and Bridge Creek flood plains. City service vehicles cannot use the current bridge.

Good news for the county is that the railroad bridge on County Road 331 is already scheduled for replacement through the Local System Bridge Program.

“If they had given us another few months, we would have had it replaced,” said Johnny Crotts of Cook Coggin Engineers, the county’s engineering firm.

He said preference is generally given to areas with higher-traffic count, and many of the bridges closed last week serve low-traffic areas.

Tishomingo County has one bridge affected in the Dennis area on County Road 23 (Joel Cemetery Road). Prentiss County had no closings.

The Typical Family

What does the typical family look like? According to a study by the Counsel of Contemporary Families from September 2014 called, “Family Diversity is the New Normal for America’s Children,” these are the facts. At the end of the 1950s, if you chose 100 children under age 15 to represent all children, 65 would have been living in a family with married parents, with the father employed and the mother out of the labor force. Only 18 would have had married parents who were both employed. As for other types of family arrangements, you would find only one child in every 350 living with a never-married mother! Today, among 100 representative children, just 22 live in a married male-breadwinner family, compared to 23 living with a single mother (only half of whom have ever been married). Seven out of every 100 live with a parent who cohabits with an unmarried partner (a category too rare for the Census Bureau to consider counting in 1960) and six with either a single father (3) or with grandparents but no parents (3).The single largest group of children (34) live with dualearner married parents, but that largest group is only a third of the total. So, what the author points out is that what we typically think of as the norm is only true for about one third of the children in the United States.

Why is it important to have this information? The concept of family for people coming into the church is going to mean many different things. We can also see the decline of the core family concept and the ideas and moral standards of our society eroding away. But, all is not lost. This is not a doomsday message. No earthly society has been perfect in its portrayal of Christian values.

What do we do? We recognize the challenges that lay before us and apply God’s wisdom to our families. Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3 are two chapters that are key in helping us in our families. Colossians 3 specifically out lines core Christian values then shows how to apply those in the family. Colossians 3:12-17 highlights those positive values that should be manifested in our lives-compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, patience, forgiveness, love, teaching and admonishing. All these things then need to be applied to wives, husbands, children and fathers (Col. 3:18-21). Imagine a family where these character traits are encouraged and exampled. Then, imagine the kind of legacy they could leave for their children and grandchildren. ”There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

(Rom. 8: 1.) The opposite of this would be that so long as we remain out of Christ Jesus we are under condemnation. This coincides exactly with many other plain passages of Scripture. In giving his farewell commission to his apostles, Jesus said : “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.” (Mark 16: 16.)

WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Monday released their long-awaited plan for unraveling former President Barack Obama’s health care law, a package that would scale back the government’s role in helping people afford coverage and likely leave more Americans uninsured.

House committees planned to begin voting on the 123-page legislation Wednesday, launching what could be the year’s defining battle in Congress and capping seven years of Republican vows to repeal the 2010

law. Though GOP leaders expect a boost from the backing of the Trump administration, divisions remain and GOP success is not ensured.

The plan would repeal the statute’s unpopular fines on people who don’t carry health insurance.

It would replace incomebased subsidies the law provides to help millions of Americans pay premiums with age-based tax credits that may be skimpier for people with low incomes. Those payments would phase out for higher-earning people.

The bill would continue Obama’s expansion of

Medicaid to additional low-earning Americans until 2020. Beginning then, states adding Medicaid recipients would no longer receive the additional federal funds the statute has provided.

More significantly, Republicans would overhaul the entire federal-state Medicaid program, changing its open-ended federal financing to a limit based on enrollment and costs in each state, a move likely to cause funding cuts.

In perhaps their riskiest political gamble, the plan is expected to cover fewer than the 20 million people insured un-

der Obama’s overhaul, including many residents of states carried by President Donald Trump in November’s election.

Republicans said they don’t have official coverage estimates yet, but aides from both parties and nonpartisan analysts have said they expect those numbers to be lower.

Solid Democratic opposition is a given.

“Republicans have decided that affordable health care should be the privilege of the wealthy, not the right of every family in America,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Trump signs new anti-terror travel ban Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Without fanfare, President Donald Trump signed a scaled-back version of his controversial ban on many foreign travelers Monday, hoping to avoid a new round of lawsuits and outrage while fulfilling a central campaign promise. His order still bars new visas for people from six Muslimmajority countries and temporarily shuts down America’s refugee program.

The revised order, signed with none of the flourish of his first version, eliminates some of the most contentious aspects in an effort to

MLM

surmount the court challenges that are sure to come. Trump’s first order, issued just a week after his inauguration, was halted by federal courts.

The new one leaves Iraq off the list of banned countries — at the urging of U.S. military and diplomatic leaders — but still affects would-be visitors and immigrants from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.

It also makes clear that current visa holders will not be impacted, and it removes language that would give priority to religious minorities — a provision some interpreted as a way to help Christians get into the U.S. while excluding Muslims.

The order won’t take effect until March 16 despite earlier warnings from Trump and his aides that any delay would put national security at risk Legal experts say the new order addresses some of the constitutional concerns raised by a federal appeals court about the initial ban but leaves room for more legal challenges.

“It’s much clearer about how it doesn’t apply to groups of immigrants with more clearly established constitutional rights,” said University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck. “That’s a really important step.”

Face-to-face meeting threatens to nip new romance in the bud D E A R ABBY: I recently enrolled in an internet dating site, and have been cyber-chatAbigail ting with a sweet Van Buren very gentleman.

I am also Dear Abby 62 years young.

My problem is I’m borderline obese, have gray hair, a few wrinkles and some dental problems. It’s the reason I don’t post photos of myself.

Someday, he may want to meet face-to-face, and I am more petrified than 2,000-yearold wood!

He sounds and speaks so well -- soft and gentle.

My heart has butterfly-wing feelings, not the head-overheels emotions I had when I first met my late husband.

Should I keep texting this gentleman, or just fade away from him? -- IS BEAUTY MORE THAN SKIN DEEP? DEAR SKIN DEEP: Keep texting him, of course!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That said, if your weight and

dental problems are affecting your self-esteem, perhaps it’s time you dealt with them rather than use them as an excuse to cut and run.

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with a wonderful man for the last year and a half.

He is good to me and good to my 11-year-old daughter.

Recently, a man I have known for 40 years -- but have been in and out of touch with -- appeared back in my life.

He was my first kiss at 6, and there were many unresolved feelings that I felt needed exploring.

My daughter caught on and told me if I gave up my current relationship she would never forgive me, so I ended the relationship with my old friend, which left him with bitter feelings. Did I do the right thing?

-- BITTER FEELINGS DEAR BITTER: Because you felt it was appropriate to allow an 11-year-old to dictate your future, then yes, I suppose you did the right thing.

In any case, it’s a little late to second guess yourself now.

DEAR ABBY: This year I have the opportunity to travel to Europe with some friends.

One of them, however, has

the tendency to burp loudly when we are in public.

She often does it at restaurants or other sit-down areas.

I have tried telling her it’s rude and disrespectful, but she doesn’t care.

I don’t want to go to Europe and have her burping in front of other people.

I don’t want to be labeled as a disrespectful tourist because of her.

Is there anything I can say to her?

Or is this a problem that I shouldn’t get involved with? -EMBARRASSED FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: Could your friend have a medical problem that causes her to burp?

If so, that may be why it happens and you shouldn’t criticize her for it.

However, if that’s not the case, because her behavior causes you embarrassment, either rethink traveling with her or make sure you sit far away from her in public places.

You will love the work you’re doing and may actually choose to work perpetually as a result.

Your loved ones who are similarly happy at work will understand.

The others, not so much!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

If you were to summon all your powers of creativity (and they are mighty strong today, to be sure) to redesign yourself, who would the new you be? Don’t let the ones who knew you before hold you back. They’ll adjust.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Progress and struggle go together. Some would argue that they must -- that there is no progress without struggle. Then again, an inspiring influence can make the struggle seem mild, even satisfying!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The love experts have spoken: Don’t fall in love with someone who flirts with everyone. If you disregard this advice (or have received it too late), then at least take comfort in the fact that whatever happens next, it’s nothing personal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your

life will be better through the magic of delegation. But this only works if you do it the right way: Joyfully hand over the task; let go; walk away; don’t look back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When fantasy relationships become reality, illusions soon dissolve. The bubble of specialness around the situation may pop. And if you still like each other after that, this relationship has real potential.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When you can be your lessthan-ideal self with someone, it means you are closer with that person than you are with the people you feel the need to constantly impress. The question today is: How close do you really want to be?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Containing passionate feelings is, as a rule, hard for humans.

You’re the exception to this rule. You can stay cool even when there’s a volcano going off in your emotional body. It’s an amazing trick you’ll practice today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You wonder if you may have under-loved someone who deserved a better quality of attention from you. You may not get the chance to rectify this with the same person, but you’ll pay it forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe there really is a time for everything, and yet you can count on the fact that it’s seldom a convenient time or one that’s under your control -- another argument for doing instead of waiting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Being the different one in the group isn’t bad, but it does mean you’ll have to acquire more credibility and skills than the others. It won’t be hard. The hardest part is accepting the injustice. Once you do, the rest is cake.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Since most of the relationships in your life are involuntary (family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.), it makes sense for you to be very choosy about the ones that are voluntary (friends and more). Exercise your right to be picky.

I’m here and I’m listening

HS Golf Note The Corinth High School boys’ and girls’ golf teams placed first in match play Monday afternoon at Shiloh Ridge Golf Course.

Other schools in the field were host Walnut, Baldwyn and Kossuth.

The Warriors topped the four-team boys’ field with a low score of 169, led by a 41 from Davis Brawner. Kossuth finished second with a team score of 180 led by a 42 by Carson Wildes. Walnut placed third with a 189 total with Kye Meeks carding a low round of 41. Baldwyn turned in a 207, but Garrett Gray was the boys medalist with a 41.

On the girls’ side, the Lady Warriors turned in a 124 to best the 135 of Walnut. Kossuth only had one competitor, and Baldwyn didn’t have a girl participant. Corinth’s Amanda Dorsett was the medalist with a 55.

God gave us two ears and one mouth so we should listen twice as much as we talk.

That’s the philosophy I was raised with and the way I was taught, although I haven’t always been good at it.

Kent Fact is, most of Mohundro us need more work in that deSports Editor partment.

With that in mind, my column this week is based on the theory of listening more than talking.

Kent’s Corner difficult principle to follow because we’re prone to ask questions and gather information for daily articles. But when you think about it, we journalists should be good listeners by association.

I was a radio personality for over 20 years in addition to my work in sports media. We had consultants hired by the station owner to come in periodically throughout the year to evaluate the on-air talent. I never was fired, so I must have been doing something right,

just like all the others. But before the consultant left town, they had a sit-down meeting with each person and offered their constructive criticism as to how we could do a better job on the air.

Now when I say constructive criticism, there was also destructive criticism that inevitably would hurt the feelings of an on-air talent. You might remember how Simon Cowell used to be known for his harsh criticisms of “American Idol” contestants for the better part

of 10 years.

That’s the sort of feedback I’m referring to that wouldn’t set well with certain on-air talent. In fact, it tended to devastate some who weren’t as tough-skinned as others.

But still it happened. And it continues to happen.

Having said all this, I want to apply this philosophy to being a sports writer/editor.

As you might imagine, I receive comments daily, both positive and negative, as to how our readers believe I am doing and what they think Please see CORNER | 9

Vivians wins third-straight Gillom Trophy Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State junior Victoria Vivians made history Monday afternoon at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, becoming the first three-time winner of the CSpire Gillom Trophy.

After becoming the first freshman to win the award, Vivians became the third repeat winner of the award last season before becoming the first player to win the award three-straight years on Monday.

The state honor comes just days after Vivians was named a semifinalist for the Naismith Player of the Year Trophy and was tabbed to the national ballot for the Wooden Award.

The Carthage native has established herself as one of the nation’s top players, rating in the Top 10 in the Southeastern Conference averaging 16.4 ppg this season.

Vivians, who reached 1,600-career points this season, earned First Team AllSEC honors for the second-

straight year after leading MSU to a school-record second-place league finish with a personal-best and league fifth-most 18.1 ppg.

Behind Vivians, Mississippi State claimed a program-best 29-4 overall record and 13-3 SEC mark. In addition to the second-place league finish, MSU also advanced to the SEC Tournament championship game for the secondstraight year and third time overall.

She led the Bulldogs in scor-

ing in 16 games and scored double figures in 29 of the team’s 33 games.

Vivians recorded 10 20-point games on the year, with seven coming against SEC competition. She also shined against ranked foes, tallying an 18.4 scoring average in games against Top 25 foes.

Vivians and her Bulldog teammates find out their NCAA Tournament destination and opponents at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 13.

should be done differently.

Many just email and text me to say “good job.”

The reason I’m writing about this today is because I want all of you to know that I do read every email and texts — even letters.

I try to respond to each one as I have time and as it merits attention. But I hear you — I’m trying to be the guy who listens twice as much as he talks.

And you can believe me when I say that this is a tremendously challenging task for me.

Just ask my family.

I have said from day one that if you ever have any comments or input that you believe can be useful to send them my way. I will do my best to evaluate each one and try and implement those that are doable.

I also enjoy meeting and greeting our readers at sporting events, so if you ever see me at a ballgame, even at the store, please feel free to introduce yourself.

Say hello.

We’ll talk sports if you please or about life in general. It’s my objective to make this a sports section each and everyone can be a part of and be proud of.

Local sports will always be goal number one as it should be.

And I believe you’ll agree it should be.

If I haven’t yet, I hope to meet you soon and get to know you better.

For those of you who have been around here all your life and know me already, I enjoy seeing you as well.

It’s always good to see old friends.

Column: NASCAR needs rivalries to spice up the action The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rivalries are the lifeblood of sports, and NASCAR sorely needs a few to spice up the action.

The discourse among drivers has been tame for several years, in part because wives and children have seemed to mellow the competitors. They live inches away from each other in the same motorhome lot every weekend, share the playground, the basketball court and the gym.

It’s kind of hard to slide a side eye at someone you share a neighborhood with 38 weekends a year.

So there was much delight Sunday night when DeLana Harvick, wife of known agitator Kevin Harvick, took a swipe on social media at Austin Dillon. Mrs. Harvick was upset that Dillon seemed to lose power in the waning laps at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where his decision to stay on the track caused a race-altering caution.

Because Dillon didn’t pull off, NASCAR brought out the yellow flag and the field headed to pit road for a final stop. Harvick, who had the win in control prior to Dillon’s action, was flagged for

speeding on pit road and the penalty cost him a victory.

Harvick had led 292 of the 325 laps — the most ever for a driver at Atlanta who did not win the race — and he finished ninth.

His wife used an expletive on Twitter to express her displeasure with Dillon, and many fans rejoiced because it was the most exciting thing to come out of the second race of the season.

Harvick didn’t point the finger at Dillon. After all, it’s hard to cast blame on someone when you were the one caught speeding. But that entire sequence and the volley from DeLana Harvick were the best parts of an otherwise uninspiring race.

Perhaps something else would have changed the course of the event in the final minutes, but without that caution, Harvick drives to an easy win. Instead, Brad Keselowski proved his team can overcome adversity by coming back from a pit road error to take the checkered flag.

Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott again showed they will contend for victories many times this season.

Atlanta officials conceded that

overwhelming driver pressure has them reconsidering a planned repave to the track, and Ford with its beefed up lineup has gone 2-for-2 to start the Cup season.

Those are your highlights, folks.

NASCAR no longer wants to see fisticuffs from its drivers, who also have sponsors that prefer they be family-friendly brand ambassadors. But everything is built around excitement, and NASCAR needs more of it, immediately.

Larson Loses Chip Ganassi has taken the “I like winners” slogan to new heights with his social media use of the tag when talking anything from politics to team performance. The owner must be getting a little anxious about star driver Kyle Larson.

Larson finished second to Keselowski on Sunday after choosing to run the slower high line at Atlanta while leading the race in the final moments. Keselowski got by Larson on the bottom, and Larson has now been passed for the lead late in a race in the last three Cup races dating to the November season finale.

The season-opener at Daytona wasn’t his fault because Larson ran out of gas. But Larson could be accused of either overthinking or being too nice. Either way, he’s got just one win in his Cup career and that’s not enough for the victorycharged Ganassi.

Built Ford Tough Ford wasn’t kidding when it said it wanted improved performance from its Cup program. The manufacturer signed StewartHaas Racing for this season and parlayed it into a Daytona 500 victory with Kurt Busch.

The race Sunday at Atlanta was going to SHR driver Kevin Harvick until his late speeding penalty, so the win went instead to Ford driver Brad Keselowski of Team Penske. Ford, which won a total of eight Cup races last season, has two wins in two races this year.

“They said they were going to bring on Stewart-Haas, and we said ‘That’s great,’ because we really get some teammates, we’ve got benchmark,” said team owner Roger Penske. “For Ford, it’s terrific that we kick off the season certainly with Kurt’s win last week

and the win this week for us.”

Viva Las Vegas Leading into race day, much of the talk at Atlanta was about a potential second Cup race going to Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s board of directors scheduled a special meeting Wednesday to discuss a race sponsorship agreement with the track. The deal would be for $2.5 million a year for seven years with the option of extending the deal three years.

Current Cup tracks are in the second year of five-year sanctioning agreements with NASCAR, but Speedway Motorsports Inc. can cut any deal it wants to move a race. It could move an event from its current collection of tracks, or could try to deal with a property outside of its portfolio.

SMI owns Las Vegas, Atlanta, Bristol, Charlotte, Kentucky, Texas, New Hampshire and Sonoma. International Speedway Corp. owns 12 tracks that host Cup races, while Dover, Pocono and Indianapolis are separately owned.

Dear Annie: I’m torn and hoping an objective voice will help me reach a decision.

I recently found out that my girlfriend of three years has been seeing another guy behind my back for the past couple of months. I had been growing suspicious for some time; she has been distant and has not been physical at all lately. Then the other day, when she was in the shower, I gave in to temptation and snooped through her cellphone.

I found that she’d been texting with some guy the night before about meeting up at a bar. She had told me she was going out for a girls night.

I immediately confronted her. At first, she was furious with me for going through her phone, but she finally broke down and admitted that she’d been hanging out with this guy from work one-on-one. She says it wasn’t anything physical, although he’s been flirtatious with her. She begged me to forgive her for keeping a secret from me, and she promises never to do so again. I don’t know whether to believe the part about their not being physical, but I do believe she really regrets the relationship. She says she wants to work things out between us. I love her a lot, and I am really torn

Dear Annie up. I don’t feel ready to end things. Would I be nuts to stay with her? — Aching in My Chest Dear Aching: I’ll answer your question with another question: Why do you want to stay? If you really see a future with this woman, then OK, give her another shot. You’d both have to work together to build a strong foundation of honesty and trust. You’d need to stop snooping on her; she’d need to stop giving you reasons to feel as if you have to snoop.

But I’ve a feeling that the real reason you’re avoiding a breakup is you’re afraid to let go. If that’s the case, it’s time to end things so you can start the process of beginning again. You cannot simply wish that pain in your chest away.

Dear Annie: I have actually found comfort in reading the letters from grandparents and others who have shared their dismay in never receiving thank-you notes. At least I’m not the only one who has had this problem.

I tried talking to the kids and the parents, to no avail. The parents even tried to “explain” that their kids were too busy with activities. I was appalled. So I went to plan B. During one visit, when everyone was at one dining room table, I passed out thank-you cards to all the grandkids. The envelopes were pre-addressed to my husband and me and stamped. I also gave them an additional box of thank-you notes to be used for other gift givers.

I shared the importance of sending thank-you notes whenever they receive a gift. I then advised that they were all on permanent probation. No “thank you” means no future gifts — end of story.

I give them five days after receipt of a gift to send a note. This has worked.

Of course, their mother thinks I am a nag and old-fashioned. I think I’m teaching my grandkids an important life lesson, and shame on their parents for not doing the same.

But now I enjoy notes from my grandkids, and some of them are even being more thoughtful and giving in other ways.

— C.A. in Sarasota, Fla. Dear C.A.: You are indeed teaching them an important life lesson, one they’ll thank you for when they’re older.

Eye on consumers The Federal Reserve’s latest snapshot of consumer borrowing should provide insight into Americans’ financial health.

The central bank issues today its tally of how much credit consumers took on in January, excluding mortgages and other loans secured by real estate. Economists project that consumer borrowing increased by $18 billion in January, up from a gain of $14.2 billion the previous month. That gain in December pushed total consumer credit to a record $3.76 trillion.

IPO price

nothing to do with how the company will perform over the long run. More than three years after its IPO, Twitter now trades at $15.75 a share – well below its IPO price. FitBit is even worse – its stock has lost 70 percent of its value since first being offered to investors.

It’s notable that the company that had the worst first-day trading among recent technology IPOs has ended up being the most successful: Facebook. The social media company’s shares rose a paltry 0.7 percent on its first day of trading to close at $38.23. Facebook shares now trade for over $137 a share.

Urban Outfitters reports its latest quarterly results today.

Wall Street expects that the clothing and accessories retailer’s fiscal first-quarter earnings declined from a year earlier, even as revenue edged higher. That would be in line with the company’s performance in the previous quarter.

Investors will be listening for the company’s updated outlook for 2017.

It’s time to clarify Medicare changes Q: I turn 65 this August and need to learn the basics to make informed choices. Is there a website or source you recommend that would give me the basics of Medicare? PH A: You can start with your local SHIP program, the government funded State Health Insurance Assistance Program https://www.shiptacenter. org/, which provides one-on-on counseling and answers questions. Medicare Interactive https://www.medicareinteractive.org/, a website sponsored by the Medicare Rights Center, also is helpful as is Medicare’s official website, Medicare.gov.

Q: Both Social Security and Medicare are run under FICA, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and are not part of the national debt. The government needs to raise premiums for people earning higher incomes. MR A: Social Security and Medicare’s hospital benefits are funded primarily through mandatory premiums known as insurance contributions. Neither Social Security nor Medicare hospital insurance adds a penny to the nation’s deficit

BY TRUDY LIEBERMAN Rural Health News Service

Over the past few months, these columns have raised plenty of questions about Medicare, present and future, and I’ve received many responses to those questions from readers. Today’s column addresses some of readers’ concerns about Medicare, a complicated program.

Q: Why do you refer to Social Security as social insurance?

This continues to baffle me just as those who continually refer to SS as a handout. It’s not a handout. That money has been taken out of every one of my paychecks since I was 16. This is my money. TF A: Social insurance is group insurance. Workers pay premiums in exchange for insurance against the loss of wages as the result of disability death, or old age. Because the government manages the insurance, and it is nearly universal, it has historically been labeled social insurance. The writer is correct. Working and paying those insurance contributions entitles him to benefits. The benefits are not a government handout. Social Security is not a welfare program.

and debt. One solution for potential Social Security shortfalls is to eliminate the cap on earnings on which Social Security contributions are assessed. For this year the cap is $127,200.

Congress eliminated the cap for Medicare contributions in the early 1990s.

Q: The government has to stop using Medicare funds to pay hospital bills for illegal aliens. They are not covered under Medicare, and the millions and billions of dollars should not be taken from Medicare funds. BC A: Medicare does not pay for healthcare for undocumented people. Community clinics may offer services. Hospitals may treat them under their charity and uncompensated care programs, but usually try to collect those debts.

Q: Do you have any advice for individuals who will be switching over from Covered California (the state’s Obamacare marketplace) to Medicare in the next few months due to a disability? Are there any concerns someone would have before making the changeover? LP A: Anyone age 65 and older

and first signing up for Part B (which pays for doctors’ services and outpatient care) and in some states people with disabilities first signing up for Part B may be able to get a Medigap within the first six months of eligibility for Medicare. After that it depends on your state’s rules.

Check with your local SHIP program to learn what they are.

Q: I am very happy there’s going to be Medicaid reform.

I am a dental hygienist who worked in a practice that has seen has many Medicaid patients. Many of these people were illegal. Some couldn’t even speak English. I am on the door of seniorhood but LOVE the idea of Medicaid reform. We can save millions, probably billions, by putting people to work who can work. CW A: The column you refer to discussed Medicare, not Medicaid. The programs are not the same. Medicaid was not designed as a seniors’ program, but 20 percent of Medicaid expenditures are for long-term care. The lack of such care for families has meant that Medicaid, a welfare program, has become a long-term care program

by default for many middle-income seniors. Congress is considering cuts to both programs that could result in seniors paying a lot more out of pocket.

Q: My husband and I are hoping this administration doesn’t ruin this program by making it private. It has worked very well for a long time and should be left alone. If this program is made too expensive for seniors, the doctors will be seeing far fewer patients. BC A: It is well known that seniors are risk-averse, meaning they are afraid of big medical bills they can’t afford. That explains the popularity of Medigap policies, especially the ones that cover the portion of a doctor’s bill that Medicare doesn’t pay, in effect giving seniors nearly full coverage. Many in Congress want to change that. Beginning in 2020, insurers will be prohibited from selling those kinds of Medigap policies to people new to the program. (Those who already have such a policy can keep it.) The idea is to make seniors have more skin in the game by paying more for their care as a way to save money for the government.

Event brings acclaimed film artists to university OXFORD — This year’s Spring Convocation for the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College will bring a live cinematic experience featuring acclaimed artists to the University of Mississippi.

Titled “Live Cinema,” the event features a series of short films along with live narration and music. It includes Oscarnominated filmmaker Sam Green; acclaimed animator Brent Green; Dan Nuxoll, artistic director of New York City’s Rooftop Films; and Bruce Levingston, the university’s Chancellor’s Artistin-Residence.

The performance is set for 7 p.m. March 8 at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts.

The free event is open to the public.

“We are so thrilled to have these renowned artists join us for a wonderful evening of cinema and music,” said Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez, dean of the Honors College.

“Bruce Levingston has assembled an incredible team of gifted artists for our SMBHC Spring Convocation.

“This performance will cast an imaginative light on many of the emotions just below the surface of our day-to-day lives. We are grateful to these extraordinary artists for this opportunity to explore fundamental questions through the arts.”

For “Live Cinema,” Sam Green has created what is known as a “live documentary,” where a video clip and photos are narrated live by him and accompanied by musical performances.

“Sam Green and Brent

“We are so thrilled to have these renowned artists join us for a wonderful evening of cinema and music. Bruce Levingston has assembled an incredible team of gifted artists for our SMBHC Spring Convocation.”

Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez Dean Green, though not related, are both known for their unique performances that combine cinema, musical accompaniment and live narration,” Levingston said.

“These two celebrated and incredibly innovative artists tell stories about families, rural America, the woman who sewed a spacesuit for the first dog sent into space, music legend Louis Armstrong and even the last person listed in the San Francisco phone book.”

This special collaboration also features live performances by musicians Brendan Canty, James Canty, Becky Foon and Kate Ryan, along with Levingston, in conjunction with cinematic shorts.

“It is so elastic and so sensitive,” Sam Green said in an interview with The Observer. “If you make a movie, a traditional movie – and I’ve made a lot of them – you put it out in the world and it is done.

“The world changes and your movie doesn’t, and suddenly it just doesn’t work in the same way that it did. I like doing it this way because it is

very nimble. It is a sensitive and organic kind of work.”

Sam Green said his performances have been well-received and he feeds off the energy from the crowd, which doesn’t often happen for filmmakers. After debuting his style in 2010, he booked about 50 shows over the next two years.

In an interview with The New York Times, Green said he discovered the live cinema style accidentally. While editing a documentary, he realized he needed more explanation for visuals. He wanted to avoid using oncamera interview clips, so a friend suggested showing it to an audience and narrating it.

His collaborations with Brent Green and other artists have been met with tremendous critical success.

Sam Green said he and his colleagues are looking forward to coming to Oxford for the first time and exploring the literary, musical and historical haunts of the town’s illustrious past, particularly a visit to William Faulkner’s home, Rowan Oak.
