Open house becomes ‘Fun Day’ 4th festival returns

to Jacinto grounds

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

A traditional open house for the Boys and Girls Club of Corinth has now expanded into a “Fun Day” thanks to some inspiration.

The Boys and Girls Club of Corinth will host an Open House and Fun Day on Thursday, June 22, beginning at 3 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club facility located at 511 Clark Street.

The event began as a traditional open house and summer registration, according to Boys and Girls Club Director Trecee Hughey. She said inspiration to expand the day into a “fun day” came from Boys and Girls Club Teen Liaison Nakia Strickland.

Hughey pointed out the day is meant to be fun for children, but especially meant to be informative for parents. There will be valuable information provided and parents can view their facility and see what the Boys and Girls Club has to offer.

There will be a special “Money Matters” class for parents Please see CLUB | 2A

Thursday, June 22.

With no elections coming up this year, the delights of an old-fashioned Southern festival will be in the spotlight at Jacinto on Independence Day. The Jacinto Foundation is rounding up makers of arts and crafts and food vendors to fill the grounds at the heart of Old Tishomingo on Tuesday, July 4. Elected leaders and hopefuls are welcome to take the stage and make a stump speech in this uneventful political year.

“It should be a laid-back day,” said Director Beth Whitehurst. “People can come and relax and have some good food. It is a family event and we work really hard to keep it that way.”

The day will begin at 9:30 a.m. with political speaking scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Local church plans dedication service

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Pinecrest Baptist Church will soon officially celebrate its new construction and remodeling work after a long process that began with prayer.

The church, located at 311 Pinecrest Road, will hold a special Dedication Service on at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 20 in celebration of their recent remodel and new education and administrative buildings.

However, Pinecrest Baptist Church Pastor Jeff Haney said the process began with a series

of church-wide meetings and prayerful consideration.

A building project can sometimes be a strain on a church and Haney, who said Pinecrest’s building project was the third in his years of pastoring, said this one was done with ‘great harmony’ among the congregation.

“It started with several church-wide meetings and we never, ever had any disagreement about doing something.

Absentee voting can sway elections

Elks donation to Project Package Thanks to the hard work of Clint Turner heading up the Elks Lodge 2573 annual golf tournament, they were able to make a nice profit to donate to Project Package.

Project Package is an organization that pays postage to send packages to military troops overseas. They were very excited to get this donation so they will now be able to send 4th of July packages.

They welcome donations from everyone who can for this worthy project.

COLUMBUS — Sara Deloach. Patricia Brooks.

Judy Lewis.

Candidates in Columbus and Lowndes County the past 40-plus years likely know at least one, if not all, of these women and might have used their services. The three, and others, have built a loyal following of elderly and disabled citizens for whom they provide witness signatures on absentee ballots — election after election.

State law allows voters who are 65 and older, or will otherwise be unavailable to vote on election day, to cast absentees through the mail or in person at a city registrar’s office for municipal elections or circuit clerk’s office for all others. Most absentees must be signed and witnessed by a notary public or court clerk. But in cases where voters are illiterate or temporarily or permanently disabled, anyone at least 18 years old can provide a witness signature on their mail-in absentee ballots.

That’s where these women pick up the slack by gathering absentee votes, either as volunteers or as paid agents for a

presented by representatives of Woodforest National Bank.

“We’re going to be bringing our Financial Education classes that we offer for adults,” said Crystal Ayers, Woodforest National Bank.

She went on to say the class will hopefully help the adults, who will in turn influence their children to make good financial decisions.

Woodforest National Bank representative Heather Wicks said, “What we’re doing is more geared toward helping them learn how to build a budget and looking at things like needs versus wants.”

The Corinth Police Department will be doing fingerprinting and DNA swabs on the children as part of the Child ID program. These programs assist with identifying and locating children more quickly if they are missing.

“This builds the database up — just in case anything like that happened — then we would have a database record to help us find the child quicker,” said Corinth Police Officer Edward Evans.

There will be a representative from the state who will provide information regarding sex trafficking.

For “fun” part of the day, Hughey said there will be a dunking booth with Corinth Police Department officers volunteering to get “dunked.”

The Corinth Fire Department will come and turn on the water do some slip and slides and bounce houses will be available.

The Essence ladies will do some face painting, said Hughey.

The Masonic Lodge #453 will help provide hamburgers, BMAD (Brothers Making a Difference) will provide and cook hotdogs and Coca-Cola will provide beverages.

“We became involved when my daughter, Nakia, came home and told me about this big event and asked if my lodge would help out.

She gave me the date and we came up with the money to help,” said Bobby Strickland, member of Masonic Lodge #453.

While the Open House/Fun Day begins at 3 p.m., the information on sex trafficking will begin at 2 p.m. for those who would like to be informed. The day will be fun for children, but Hughey emphasized who she hopes will attend.

“Parents, parents, parents ... that’s what we’re looking for. Of course, we want the children to come too, but we want the parents to come out. Years ago, the slogan was this was a ‘positive place for kids’ and now our slogan is ‘be great,’ but I like to think we can be great and still be a positive place for kids,” said Hughey.

candidate.

“I go to people I’ve been going to for years,” said Deloach, noting she has helped elderly and disabled voters with absentees for 45 years. “I know them. They know me.

I just go out and assist them on making sure they cast a legal, valid absentee ballot. ... When I go out and help them, they know their vote’s going to be counted.”

Their efforts can change an election.

In the May 2 Democratic primary in Columbus, Eric Thomas led incumbent Ward 2 councilman Joseph Mickens, 180-177, before absentees were counted, and the two seemed headed for a May 16 runoff. Mickens, however, overshadowed Thomas 178-15 in the absentee tally, earning more in absentees than election-day votes and securing re-election with 54 percent of the vote.

In the Ward 4 councilman race, incumbent Marty Turner overcame a 76-vote deficit to Frederick Jackson on May 2, using a 111-23 advantage in absentees to place first in the four-candidate primary by 12 votes. However, Jackson beat Turner two weeks later in a runoff.

Across the Region Prentiss County Warrant leads to arrest, return of stolen property PRENTISS COUNTY — A warrant led to the arrest of a man on multiple charges in Prentiss County, reported the Daily Journal.

On Thursday, a North Mississippi Narcotics investigator executed a search warrant on County Road 1251 as a result of a traffic stop. Arrested was John Casey Crow, 32.

Crow is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, and that charge was enhanced with possession of a firearm. He was also charged with four counts of receiving/possessing stolen property.

The Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department recovered a 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was reported stolen from Tippah County, as well as a 2011 Dutchman Camper reported stolen from McNairy County, Tennessee.

A 2009 Weldcraft Boat that was reported stolen from Hardin County, Tennessee, was also recovered as a result of the search warrant.

Crow’s arrest led to the recovery of additional stolen property, a substantial amount of meth, and multiple arrests in Alcorn County.

Crow’s bond was set at $100,000 by Judge Angela Pounds.

Tishomingo Co. Truck connected to jail escapees is recovered TISHOMINGO COUNTY — Officers have recovered a truck believed to be connected to two jail escapees from Tishomingo County.

WTVA reported Tishomingo County Sheriff John Daugherty says a Ford F-150 truck has been recovered.

He wouldn’t specify which state it was recovered in, but he did say it was not recovered in Mississippi.

The two escapees are identified as 26-year-old Jonathan Dakota Hamm and Issac Lenan Bennett, 23. They managed to escape on June 14.

Following their escape, the sheriff’s department says the

duo was able to steal a white 1995 Ford F-150 truck.

The hunt continues for both escapees.

BOONEVILLE — A Sunday afternoon safety checkpoint in Prentiss County leads to the arrest of a woman from Booneville.

Sonya Anne Lowry, 38, was arrested on June 18 during a safety checkpoint conducted by the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department and the Mississippi Highway Patrol at the intersection of Highway 30 and Highway 145.

She was charged with the possession of a controlled substance (meth), along with several misdemeanor charges.

vannah Police Department told WBBJ-TV. Chief Pitts said this is the first time the department has gone through this interior active shooter training.

The department says, even though they hope to never face an active shooter situation, now is the time to practice.

The chief said this training also includes learning about the psychology of a shooter, tactical medical response, and the mechanics of dealing with a potentially deadly situation.

“We don’t want them to get in a mindset of, every one of these scenarios I’m shooting somebody,” the chief said, “but at the same time, we don’t want to get in the mindset of, I don’t have that option should I need it.”

All 19 officers of the Savannah Police Department were certified on Friday.

Former Miss Mississippi, mayor filing for divorce

Shelter construction is finally underway

TUPELO (AP) — A mayor and a former Miss Mississippi are filing for divorce after about a year of marriage.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton and Chelsea Rick filed for an uncontested divorce June 2 in Lee County.

Court papers show they have been separated since about May 13 — about two weeks short of their anniversary on May 28.

Rick won the Miss Mississippi pageant in 2013.

Shelton, a Democrat, begins his second term as mayor in July.

TUPELO — The long-awaited construction of a new animal shelter is finally underway, reported the Daily Journal.

After more than a decade of fundraising and planning, the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society received a construction permit about three weeks ago and work began in earnest this week.

A Southland Construction crew began preparation to pour concrete footings for the future facility, which will be located on property off of Cliff Gookin Boulevard.

The estimated 18,000 square-foot facility will dramatically increase the shelter’s available operating space over its currently cramped building.

Significant public dollars are pledged to the project. The city of Tupelo has agreed to contribute $500,000 toward construction costs and Lee County will provide $200,000.

challenge to her victory in the Starkville mayor’s race, reported WTVA. Moore narrowly lost to Spruill in the May Democratic primary and wants a judge to order a new election, saying there were voting irregularities.

Spruill, however, says in Friday’s filing that the Starkville Democratic Municipal Executive Committee has the final say concerning who won the election, not the courts.

That committee unanimously voted earlier this week to declare Spruill the winner.

Jackson Ban on gun shows could affect area JACKSON, Tenn. — A controversial decision about gun shows could possibly affect future shows in West Tennessee, reported WBBJ-TV. According to an opinion released by the Tennessee State Court of Appeals, cities have the right to ban gun shows from their buildings. This week, the court said it agrees with the Nashville Metro Fair Board saying they can legally chose not to lease its buildings to gun shows.

The Appeal’s decision could be challenged, if so, then it could go to Tennessee Supreme Court.

A gun show event held recently at the Jackson Fairgrounds Park brought out hundreds of people.

Aberdeen Tupelo man pleads guilty to porn charges ABERDEEN — A Tupelo man has pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges.

Lonnie Darnell Marcy, 32, entered a guilty plea to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child in U. S. District Court in Aberdeen, reported WTVA. Marcy faced a five-count indictment for sending and receive images of children engaged in sexual activity on his computer and cellphone.

A federal judge set an October 18th sentencing date on the charges.

He faces a maximum of 20 years on each count.

Report analyzes mental health spending Associated Press

JACKSON — A report commissioned by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health confirms federal findings that the state has spent more on institutional care than community-based services for people with mental disabilities.

The state released the report Saturday after settlement with The Clarion-Ledger . The newspaper fought a legal battle for public disclosure of the $300,000 taxpayer-funded document.

The report found institutional treatment has made up “a disproportionately large share” of spending.

The Technical Assistance Collaborative is a Boston-based nonprofit group hired by the state. It analyzed Medicaid fee-for-service information for budget years 2010 through 2014; and managed care information for 2013

and 2014.

“It is concerning that spending and utilization of institutional care have increased over the past few years,” the report said. “Mississippi has the opportunity to serve many more youth in less restrictive and more integrated settings by promoting greater use of services, such as mobile crisis intervention, crisis stabilization, intensive outpatient program ... and peer support. More effective use of these services could help divert youth from placement in costly institutional settings.”

The report said use and spending trends for home- and community-based services “are largely in the right direction,” but more work is needed to promote those services.

In the 2014 budget year, Mississippi Medicaid spent $184.4 million on children and youth behavior services.

Other study findings: Forty-nine percent of Medicaid child behavioral health dollars in 2014 were spent on services in institutional settings. Nationally, in 2008, 28.3 percent of child behavioral health dollars spent by Medicaid were spent on inpatient or psychiatric residential services.

Spending for psychiatric residential treatment facilities and inpatient psychiatric hospitals increased by 11 percent and 6 percent, respectively, from 2010 to 2014.

Among the institutional services, inpatient psychiatric hospitals experienced the greatest increases in the number of unduplicated utilizers. There was an increase of about 22 percent in the number of young people in inpatient psychiatric hospitals from 2010 to 2014.

In 2010, there was a 10 percent increase of young people in psychiatric residential treatment

facilities. Utilization remained steady from 2011 to 2014.

Findings related to home- and community-based utilization and expenditures included: More than $1 million in a given year was spent on assessment, community support, day treatment, individual therapy, intensive home-based treatment and targeted case management; while less than $1 million in a given year was spent on services such as mobile crisis, crisis residential, peer support and intensive outpatient.

Despite declines in day treatment utilization, nearly a quarter of home and community-based services money was spent on day treatment.

There was a 64 percent increase in spending on intensive homebased treatment from 2010 to 2014, with declines from 2013 to 2014, despite increases in claims and utilizers.

Prayer For Today Gracious Father, forbid that I should make thee regret thy gifts to me; and if I have failed to appreciate them, look upon me with pity, for I have cheated myself more than I have thee. Give me a deeper appreciation, that I may be strengthened day by day in the veriest duties of life. Amen.

“People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. “ — Richard Nixon ROLLING FORK — Let’s just have a conversation, an honest conversation, you and me.

Unfortunately, when the subject is anything related to politics, that’s not as easy as it once was, because folks have drawn their battle lines, aren’t ready to give an inch, and as a general rule are only willing to call folks not in lockstep with their thinking names in increasingly louder but less civil tones.

But whether one is liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican (none of which mean what they used to), perhaps there are some truths that we might agree upon as something akin to ground rules.

First off, I think we all need to recognize that what the president calls “the Russia thing” does, in fact, exist and is not some “made up thing.” The Russian government, to a degree we don’t yet know, interfered, tried to influence the 2016 presidential election in this country, has done that in other countries, and fully intends to do the same thing again here unless we figure out how to stop them.

At its most basic level, an unfriendly foreign power attacked the democratic essence of the United States.

Can we at least agree that happened and that is not a good thing? I ask this only because some administrationfriendly folks I know have started to say “blame it on the Russians,” about everything, as if that were as frivolous as saying “blame it on the bossanova.”

I also wish that we might stop try-

ing to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for using the most hyperbole and clichés.

While both the fact that way too many of the individuals in both the family and White House of President Donald Trump have connections of some sort to Russia about which they develop amnesia when filling out disclosure forms, and the fact that the president himself has acted more than passingly strange in every aspect of his dealing with now former FBI Director James Comey, it is unwarranted and far too premature to be constantly obsessing over words like “obstruction of justice” and “impeachment.”

In the first instance, obstruction of justice is a criminal charge and the Constitution provides no manner for indicting a sitting president who also has the unchecked power of pardon and in the second instance, impeachment, in any practical sense, is a political act—at present highly unlikely since the president’s party controls both houses of Congress.

Also, the ongoing scandal, the investigations being conducted into actions of Trump and his minions is not comparable and does not (at least yet) rise to the level of Watergate and we should all stop trying to force that analogy. As matter of principle, while we are at it, can we please stop calling every Washington scandal, large or small, something ending in “gate?”

I know it is just a knee-jerk thing in some circles, but like perpetually jerking knees, it is also tiresome.

Now, having said all that, I must now say that this is no petty, partisan, politically motivated and media promulgated “witch hunt” as the

president is so fond of calling it in person and on Twitter. Should Donald Trump simultaneously develop both lingering laryngitis and permanent thumb palsy, both his presidency and the Republic would be well served.

The very idea of playing some political equivalent of Russian Roulette with the sovereignty of the United States is neither a laughing matter nor a concocted conspiracy theory.

There’s an operant maxim about such things as this that maintains “the coverup is always worse than the crime.”

And while that might generally be true, it would not be should the underlying crime turn out to be treason.

And finally, to all those wishing that all this would simply go away and Washington get about doing the peoples’ work, I am sorry but that’s simply not in the cards. This is going to draw out for a long, long time.

“The Russia thing” has already rendered mute the Trump agenda and soon it will consume the Trump presidency, itself. The president may have famously come to Washington to “drain the swamp,” but instead his arrival has provided yet another tributary to feed it.

There are yet more shoes to drop, yet more reputations to be ruined, yet more loyalists to be sacrificed as selfglorification inexorably moves toward self-preservation and one reality show morphs into another.

The scripts for all Washington scandals are remarkably similar, and like those before it, this one too, must now play out.

Unclear path for revamp of student aid JACKSON — As tuition grows more expensive at Mississippi’s universities and community colleges, more students are seeking aid to help them pay.

But the state’s financial aid programs have problems of their own. And while aid might be revamped, competing interests might preserve the status quo.

Mississippi has three major undergraduate grant programs: the Mississippi Resident Tuition Assistance Grant (MTAG), the Eminent Scholars Grant, and the Higher Education Legislative Plan for Needy Students (HELP). The three traditionally have had different goals. With low test scores and high school grade requirements, MTAG is available to many students, but excludes those poor enough to qualify for federal Pell Grants, meaning mostly middle-class and above students qualify for $500 in each of their first two years and $1,000 in each of their last two years.

The Eminent Scholars Grant, by contrast, has high qualifications — an ACT score of 29 or above and a high school grade point average of 3.5 or higher to

get $2,500 a year. Those best-qualified students generally come from more Jeff Amy a f f l u e n t families Columnist Most generous is the HELP program, which pays full tuition and fees for students whose families earn less than $39,500 a year, if the student earned a 20 or higher on the ACT and GPA of 2.5 or more. The Legislature made it easier to qualify for HELP, and it surged from the smallest of the three grant programs to the largest. In the budget year starting July 1, the state projects it will spend more than $18 million on 3,280 students.

By comparison, $12.4 million will go to 23,500 MTAG recipients and $5.8 million will go to 2,700 eminent scholars. The Education Commission of the States, in a May 2017 analysis , found that growth in HELP meant Mississippi’s spending on need-based grants rose 221 percent from 2011 to 2015, the third-highest percentage growth among states in that time.

That expansion in HELP, combined with state budget cuts, is pressuring Mississippi’s financial aid program. Projecting a $9 million shortfall, lawmakers decided to end students’ ability to combine or ‘“stack” the grants , impacting 3,400 students. Lawmakers also directed officials to check student grades every semester, which means a projected 430 students will lose grants. Those two changes are projected to save $3.6 million. But lawmakers also cut $5.3 million from a series of smaller programs that repay loans for students who go into teaching or health care by barring new awards from any of those programs.

The Education Commission of the States, in a 2016 report on Mississippi’s situation , suggests that the state should put more of its effort into making sure students from families earning less than $50,000 a year go to college to increase skill levels across the state. It suggests the eminent scholars and MTAG programs may not be reaching their goal of keeping high-achieving students in the state.

The report also questions

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

whether the loan repayment programs are the best use of the state’s money. It suggests streamlining those programs and evaluating whether desired outcomes are met.

Finally, the commission suggests a later application deadline for HELP and allowing part-time students to get grants, instead of just full-time students. Both those suggestions would increase costs.

But those proposals would be hard to implement. Cutting eminent scholars grants might not cause any overall savings, because individual universities could use their own money to compete for highachieving students. Cutting MTAG could be unpopular among legislators. And increasing access would only increase the financial pressure on the system.

Members of the state financial aid board could debate all those options in coming months. But without more money, the choices will be hard.

Daily Corinthian • Tuesday, June 20, 2017 • 5A

Music Hall of Fame inducts four new members SELMER, Tenn. — Music has been a way of life for the latest class of the McNairy County Music Hall of Fame.

The 2017 inductees were honored for their musical accomplishments during the 5th Annual McNairy County Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

“We love doing this event,” said Arts in McNairy Director Dr. Shawn Pitts. “It’s a fun time.”

Peck Boggs, the late Carl Perkins, Billy Wagoner and Lloyd Watkins were inducted into the hall of fame on Friday, June 9.

“Every year we are inundated with requests,” said Pitts. “The only way a person can get in is to be nominated by someone.”

Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner and former McNairy County Mayor Jai Templeton presented Wagoner to open the night.

“Bill will tell you he is no professional musician and music is just a hobby for him,” said Templeton. “He sells his musical ability short and is more than a little handy with a number of stringed instruments, including the banjo and guitar.”

Wagoner began playing ban-

jo soon after graduating Adamsville High School in 1955.

His musical career got going in 1970 when he joined The Tennessee Valley Boys of Wayne Jerrolds.

“I thank God for all He has done in my life and my wife (Bobbye) who has stuck with me for 49 years,” said Wagoner.

The Wagoners took on the responsibility or organizing the Adamsville Bluegrass Jamboree in 1993. The couple produced the show for 20 years.

Wagoner, Jerrolds and David Killingsworth formed the Red Rooster Pickers in 2014.

“Making music was never his primary calling,” said Templeton. “His greatest gift, the one that has earned him our enduring respect and admiration and the one that we recognize here tonight, is his role as a teller of stories. If McNairy County has a sage of local history and musical heritage, it is unquestionably Billy Wagoner.”

Lloyd Watkins has done all kinds of things. Music is one of the things the veteran musician knows how to do well.

“He is a constant presence on the regional music scene,”

said presenter Tony Chapman.

“There is something special about Lloyd ... he makes it look so easy.”

Watkins, who has taught over 100 West Tennessee residents how to play string instruments and piano, got his start on a Roy Rogers guitar he purchased on credit for $14.95 at the age of 11-years-old.

He has played with the Lloyd Watkins Band, Jerry Whitten and the Tennessee River Boys for the last 15 years and plays with the Joe Rickman Band as part of the house band for the McNairy County Music Hall of Fame.

“I wouldn’t be here tonight without God,” said Watkins.

“Lloyd has approached music as a ministry, spreading love, joy and song, far and wide while helping raise countless thousands of dollars for local charities,” said Chapman, who is also Watkins’ brother-in-law.

“When it comes to music I tell people -- if it feels good, do it,” added Watkins.

AiM’s Leanne Emmons presented the late Carl Perkins for induction.

“Perkins is widely acknowl-

edged as the “Father of Rockabilly Music” and an authentic cultural voice of he post-war South,” said Emmons. “Paul McCartney observed there would have been no Beatles without Carl Perkins ... there might have been no Carl Perkins without McNairy County.”

The Beatles recorded the Perkins songs, “Honey Don’t,” “Matchbox” and “Everybody’s Trying to be My Baby.”

In 1956, Perkins took part in the Million Dollar Quartet recordings with Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. The recordings came two years after Perkins appeared at Bethel Springs High School.

Cory Hill, Perkins’ greatnephew, accepted the award on behalf of the Perkins family.

“All of West Tennessee loves Carl,” added Emmons.

Peck Boggs grew playing music with his family. His experience of playing music with family grew into playing square dances with some taking place in people’s houses.

“Peck had a powerful singing voice,” said Pitts, who presented the Pickwick Southside native. “Peck’s name has be-

come virtually synonyms with quality bluegrass in West Tennessee, North Mississippi and Alabama.”

At the age of 15, Boggs joined his first band – Tennessee Valley Boys – and began playing at dances and other events, according to Pitts.

Boggs started playing with a band called the Pickwick Fishermen in 1946.

“The Fishermen were almost immediately sought after in the area, anchoring a popular dance at Savannah for several years and appearing every Saturday morning on an old-time radio program on WCMA in Corinth, Miss.” said Pitts.

Boggs now plays with the Hatchie Bottom Boys.

“I appreciate all of this,” said Boggs. “We had a lot of clean fun back in those days.”

“Peck has remained a solid and influential voice in bluegrass music deep into his 80s,” said Pitts of the 86-year-old.

“The Hatchie Bottom boys are widely regarded as one of the best bluegrass acts in the tristate area performing and headlining at innumerable music festivals.”

Assistant District Attorney Matthew Burrell says that Lewis abused the toddler in August 2013 before she died from injuries days later.

During closing arguments Burrell said that Gracie’s injuries were consistent with a fall from a two-story building. Medical professionals testified earlier in the trial that her injuries could not have happened from a simple fall.

Pinecrest Baptist Church will hold its Dedication Service on Sunday, Aug. 20, at 10 a.m. to celebrate their newest facilities — an education and administrative building — along with a remodel of the lobby area outside their current sanctuary.

had discussions about not doing anything. Everyone felt we needed to do something, so that was hurdle number one - the biggest one,” said Haney, who has been pastor at the church since 2006.

“They were always cautious, but that was just good stewardship. You don’t want to jump into anything too fast. But our prayerful premise that I say is ‘It’s not our place to make decisions. It’s our place to make discernments.’ This is the Lord’s church, not ours, so we don’t get to decide, it’s ours to try to discern what He wants for His church.

There was praying ... making sure that this isn’t our will, but the Lord’s will,” said Haney.

Pinecrest Baptist Church was established in 1966, a new sanctuary was erected in 1978, and a Family Life Center was built around 2002 -2003, said Haney.

When Haney became pastor at Pinecrest, he said one of the things the church had on the longterm goals was to do something about the aging facility.

“It was still structurally sound, but it had become kind of confining and limiting where if everyone in our church showed up for Sunday School, we wouldn’t have had room,” he said.

After it was decided what to do, the church hired an architect and started a building fund.

“It was a fairly lengthy process because we decided we would not even begin until we had $125,000 sitting in the building fund. We seeded it with about $25,000 and while that was building up, we were finalizing the plans,” said Haney.

The congregation decided to keep the outside walls of the original sanctuary as they walls were still sound and it was part of the original building. Other touches were kept such as a Noah’s Ark wall mural painted by church member Tommy Kingen. They cut out the entire section of wall and framed it with some original pieces. The mural was incorporated into the the new education building.

The current sanctuary was not touched, but the lobby area was remodeled.

Ninety percent of the contracted work was done

by Worsham Brothers and the other 10 percent was done by skilled labor from within the congregation.

When all was said and done, the church nearly doubled their Sunday School capacity. They had their first Sunday in the new facility on April 23.

He said that so far, there have been no complaints.

“We have nine living charter members that are active in the congregation and they were adamant about getting this going.

Not one time did they try to preserve brick and mortar ... they just wanted to see it done,” said Haney.

He said in his past experience, that some congregations have difficulty during a building project because of sentimental items that were not to be touched, but this was not the case with Pinecrest — a meeting of minds which he referred to as “joyful.”

“It took a little longer than we wanted, but with a building project you’ll have some cuts and bruises along the way ... but, when it’s all said and done, everybody sits back and goes, ‘Whew! That’s nice,’” he said.

ter. Dixon was also a funeral director with Magnolia Funeral Home.

Nathan and Michelle Dixon had been married for about two and a half years and were a blended family with five children.

Thompson said the couple had just gone to Arkansas to set up their camper for a summer youth camp. They had been heading back to get some clothes when they were involved in the accident.

The couple was strongly involved in their church activities. He and Michelle traveled often for Dixon to preach and she played piano and sang.

It appears that church and faith have always been a part of Dixon’s life and it showed. Amanda Bradley, a former classmate, who graduated high school with Dixon, said, “I went to school with him all of my life. He was just as dedicated to God in school as much as his adult years. Never wavering — gentle and kind ... respectful.”

It is obvious from the statements of those who knew the couple, that the faith they practice in everyday life is what is pulling them through and providing them with a light in a time of grief.

Dixon’s mother, in a quote regarding the death of her son, said, “We are crushed, but we are not

despondent and our faith is not wavering.”

Thompson said one thing the family wants to express to everyone is their gratitude for all the love and prayers extended on their behalf, and Thompson continues to ask for the same during a difficult time.

In a public request, she said, “Again I plead with you to please cover our pastoral family with your love and prayers. They are some of the finest, most humble, kind-spirited people I have ever known.”

Funeral arrangements for Nathan Dixon are with Magnolia Funeral Home.

Why Should I Look at the Church of Christ?

So, your friend invited you to come to the church of Christ for a worship service. Or, maybe you were surfing the web and came across a site for the church of Christ. Or, maybe you saw a building with the words “Church of Christ” on a sign in the front yard.

And maybe you’re wondering, “Why should I look at the church of Christ?” That’s a great question, which deserves a multi-chapter book to fully address, but consider these thoughts for a moment.

It may encourage you to know that the designation “church of Christ” is one that you can read in the New Testament (Rom. 16:16), and not one that we came up with on our own. In fact, that principle is a good way to explain the “church of Christ” to you. Our aim and purpose is to follow the same rationale for determining the name we wear as we use to determine everything else that we teach and practice.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 1 Cor. 14:37; 2 Pet. 1:20-21). The Bible teaches us that Christ has all authority (Matt. 28:18), and that it will be the words of Christ that will judge us in the end (John 12:48). The Bible teaches that we are not to “add to” or “take away from” the Word of God (Rev. 22:1819), and that we are not to “go beyond” or speak beyond what is written (1 Cor. 4:6; 1 Pet. 4:11). The Bible teaches that one’s entrance into heaven is dependent upon doing the will of God (Matt. 7:21).

Since the Bible teaches that mankind is to have Biblical authority for everything that we say or do (Col. 3:17), our goal is simply to teach whatever the Bible teaches, without addition or subtraction or modification. We strive to call Bible things by Bible names and to do Bible things in Bible ways.

Therefore, using the same rationale for determining the name that we should wear, we go to the New Testament to know everything else that we need to teach and practice. We are not interested in what we might be able to come up with on our own, or going along with what other groups are teaching, or being tied to a long-standing church tradition.

We are endeavoring to be the very church that you read about in the New Testament- the very one that Jesus promised to build (Matt. 16:18), that Jesus shed His blood to purchase (Acts 20:28), that was established in Acts chapter 2, that grew throughout the pages of the book of Acts, that received numerous letters from inspired writers, and that Jesus said would never be destroyed (Matt. 16:19; Dan. 2:44).

If you would like to go back to the church of the Bible and to follow the pattern of the New Testament and to restore Christianity as it was originally designed to be at its inception, you should grab your Bible and look at the church of Christ!

Read your Bible - Matt. 16: 13-19 - Welcome

Harvard’s ouster over posts stirs debate

BY SALLY HO Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Few college-bound kids lose their shot, and their slot, at their dream school once they get in, but it happened at one of the world’s most elite institutions and for a reason that has, until recently, hardly registered in the university admissions process: social media.

Harvard University’s decision to rescind admission offers to 10 incoming freshmen because of offensive Facebook posts

comes at a time of heightened attention to free speech and student conduct on U.S. college campuses, and has stirred debate far beyond the halls of the Ivy League school.

Other schools say it’s an eye-opener for those involved in the admissions process.

“We’re going to continue to watch how this unfolds and, with other higher ed institutions, learn from it,” said Janet Bonkowski, spokeswoman for the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay.

Harvard rescinded the admission offers after discovering the students had traded offensive images and messages on a private Facebook group, student newspaper The Harvard Crimson reported. The posts were often sexually explicit and mocked Mexicans, the Holocaust, sexual assault and child abuse.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts, university declined to comment, but the school does tell accepted students their offers can be withdrawn if their behavior “brings

into question their honesty, maturity or moral character.”

Its decision may have been rare, but the situation it addressed was not: young applicants crossing lines in their social media posts.

Mike Reilly, a former college admissions officer in Washington state and now an executive with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, said Harvard’s move can be seen as incongruent with free speech.

Family visiting for graduation brings grandma with dementia D E A R ABBY: My ex-husband is coming to our small town to celebrate our daughter ’s Abigail graduation. is bringVan Buren ingHealong his parents. I’m Dear Abby happy they are coming to show love and support for our daughter; however, his mother has dementia.

She’s difficult to deal with now, and my ex doesn’t manage the situation well.

They take her to restaurants and hotels and allow very uncomfortable scenes to play out -- like sending food back (every single time) or allowing her to accuse the housekeeping staff of thievery.

Rather than rationally deal with the problem themselves, they put the staff in a very awkward position.

The poor woman has a mental condition.

It isn’t a secret to the rest of us.

I have figured out techniques to deal with her.

I am going to cook some meals for them while they are here, but based on my work schedule, that’s all I can do.

Should I call ahead to the hotel

and restaurants to warn them of the impending storm? -- HURRICANE INSANITY DEAR H.I.: If you are known at the restaurants, you should definitely call ahead and speak to the manager about the fact that the poor woman is “not well.” I’m sure it would be appreciated, and perhaps the party can be seated in a private area of the restaurant.

When someone has dementia, there comes a point where they should be kept in familiar surroundings to avoid situations in which the person can become agitated.

This may be what’s happening with your ex-mother-in-law when she finds herself in an environment she’s not used to.

The Alzheimer’s Association hosts support groups for caregivers and for families with loved who have dementia.

In these groups, coping techniques are discussed.

Your ex might benefit by reaching out, preferably before he and his mother make the trip. He can contact the association at www. alz.org or by calling the 24/7 helpline at 1-800-272-3900.

DEAR ABBY: You know the adage, “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til you lose it”?

In 2009, before I was deployed to Kuwait, I was in a short relationship with “Donna.”

Because I didn’t want her to worry about me while I was gone, I ended it and broke her heart. (Big mistake.)

When I came home, Donna had moved away, and I lost her phone number when my old phone broke.

Since then, I have not been in any relationships, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about and miss her and the inside jokes we had together. Lately, it has gotten worse.

I know Donna’s sister still lives here.

Should I go and ask her about Donna, and how she’s doing and where she is now, and whether she’ll contact her for me?

Or should I just keep trying to get over her? -- REGRETTING IT IN THE WEST DEAR REGRETTING: What are you waiting for?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

By all means, talk to Donna’s sister, who might enjoy being able to play the role of Cupid.

If Donna is still single and available, she may be as glad to see you as you will be to see her.

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).

There’s a happiness that visits your mind in the embrace of warm notions. Then there’s happiness of a different kind.

It’s visceral, physical and your whole body is involved. Could this become a lifestyle?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you respond to one person in an eerily similar way as you did to another long ago, you begin to recognize life’s echoes.

Discern reactions of the moment from motions that have more to do with the sheer power of habit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There are gestures, and then there are grandstand plays.

Know the difference. You’ll witness some big personalities, so just remember that you always have a choice about what and whom you buy into.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Recognize what you’ve got, and be keen to the timing of the thing. The more exciting something is, the shorter the shelf life.

Like a fizzy soda or a lit sparkler, enjoy it while it lasts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your secret wishes will gain magnetism. Your wants will get stronger. If necessity is the mother of invention, desire is the father.

This is the day to direct your hunger more specifically and intentionally.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

To be giving and warm is your nature, and many will be drawn to the comfort of your presence.

You benefit from their nearness, too. It’s all well and good until they start to compete for your attention, at which time it’s best to withdraw.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When you really adore a person, even the most mundane outing with this person seems like a magnificent event. Today you’ll get a taste of this sort of giddy excitement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s not that they don’t count; it’s just that when it comes to you, you’re the expert. So assuming that you’re the only one you need to impress, what would you do next?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). There’s a fine line in teaching. Mistakes must be addressed, but not in a heavyhanded manner. Criticism has a way of making people feel diminished and sometimes humiliated. The best teachers are sensitive to this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone has days in which their personal stock seems to fall, at least in relation to their own ideas of value. What will it take for you to recognize yourself as important? Don’t wait for someone else to point it out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your mind is like the muscles of your body: able to get stronger and also vulnerable to becoming overworked and injured. Work past your comfort zone but then back off to allow for recovery.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You need inspiration. That may require getting out to see something new and different.

Or it may require doing less, or nothing at all. Too much activity and too many choices serve to reduce the impact of everything.

Conner Lewis in action for ICC this past season turning a double play. The former Alcorn Central standout is set for a solid 2018 season with the Indians as he continues his collegiate playing career.

Conner Lewis: A real life journey

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Conner Lewis thought his playing days might be over.

But he has proven that hard work, dedication and determination can make things happen when the cause appears lost.

The former Alcorn Central baseball standout has experienced nearly every emotion known to an athlete over the past twelve months. And underlying it all — helping him through a tough stretch of life — is his strong conviction and faith in God. “There was a war going on inside me,” said Lewis.

“Baseball has been my sport for as long as I can remember. It was a great source for my Dad and I bonding and being as close as we are.”

“Sports is a great way for a person to grow,” he continued. “Dad always told me to be the best I can be at sports or whatever I do and work hard at it. But sometimes we tend to let other people influence the way we think.”

From the start of his freshman season wearing the purple and gold Conner was as sure of his future as any high school student/athlete could be. Until his senior year on

the diamond Lewis was under the certain impression that he would sign with and play for then-Northeast head baseball coach Kent Farris.

“My senior year, just before the season started, I called coach Farris to let him know I was looking forward to a big senior year with the Bears and anxious to play for the Tigers.”

But something changed which affected Lewis’ posthigh school plans and pushed him into a real emotional dilemna.

“When I made that call I was told that they were going in another direction with a new coach and that coach Farris wasn’t pulling the strings anymore,” Lewis remembered.

That new coach was former Tishomingo County and Ole Miss star Richy Harrelson.

“After that phone call worry and doubt were all in my mind and my thoughts,” Lewis stated. “I was certain for the better part of my high school career that I would be a Tiger after my Alcorn Central days were over. But God has a way of putting you in situations where you have to make some hard decisions and just surrender every-

thing to him.”

Conner Lewis was at a crossroads he never envisioned himself standing at.

“His life has been about baseball,” said Conner’s mother Rebecca. “He could slide before he could walk.

We thought everything was written in stone at Northeast and we were all devestated when Conner told us the news. But noone was hurt more than him.”

“By the time I was a senior at Central I think I had started listening to other people talk about how good I was and putting me on a pedestal,” Conner said. “From my freshman year Northeast had called and assured me that I had a place there. But for some reason when they hired coach Harrelson they changed their mind about me.”

Talk about a humbling experience— and there were only two things that could seemingly happen at that point in Lewis’ mind.

“I could either give up baseball or I could walk on somewhere,” he said. “At that point, with nowhere to play and lots of uncertainty, I just got on my knees and surrendered it all to God. I told God

that if baseball was not the way for me to go then please show me but I also prayed that if he would open a door for me I would do whatever he wanted me to do.”

Lewis’ request was answered rather quickly but certainly not in the fashion he probably expected.

“I was playing in the Cotton States League in New Albany last summer when (league director and former Northeast quarterback) Buddy Hall saw me play,” Conner said. “When he found out what happened at Northeast he immediately called (Itawamba Community College) coach (Rick) Collier and told him about me.”

“Mr. Hall saw that Conner had slipped thru the cracks and that he was a solid ball player and just happened to be good friends with coach Collier over at ICC,” said Rebecca. “He called coach Collier and got the ball rolling.”

Conner once more had hopes of playing and possibly earning a scholarship with the Indians only to run into another roadblock.

“When I got there coach Collier informed me that Please see LEWIS | 9A

Conner Lewis in action during his senior season with Alcorn Central. Lewis will begin his sophomore season at ICC this fall with hopes of heavy playing time at second base for the Indians after a nice freshman campaign in Fulton.

Kent’s Corner: Don’t sit idle, get involved This week I’d like to use this space to speak to all the area youth about a vital and pressing topic that seems to keep on rearing it’s head.

If you’ll listen to the words and expeiences of your parents and others that are a generation or two ahead and heed what they say then this article will have accomplished it’s goal.

I can tell you from personal experience how important it is to be active as a young person and being involved in sports is a good way to do that.

For those that wanna argue

and say “I’m not really the athletic type” just take a trip to the local youth league ball fields and take a look. You don’t have to be athletic to be an important part of a team.

The old concept that you have to be born to play sports just isn’t true. Sports is for everyone no matter your skill level. When I think back to the days when I was six years old and my mother and dad signed me up for summer baseball at the YMCA I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Not that I didn’t enjoy baseball or like the idea of playing: the simple fact is I just wasn’t

very good at the time.

I played my first season for a team called the Chicks.

I considered it embarrasing to play for a boys baseball team with a name like that— it sounded girly to me.

But when I got a bit older and started going to Memphis to see the AA baseball team called- of all things- the Chicks, it didn’t bother me much anymore.

During that first year at the YMCA I started to develop the skills that would help me develop into a pretty good player by the time I was in the seventh grade. I was even

named the most valuable player of my junior league team when I was 13 and had aspirations of playing collegiately after a few years.

I even took a recruiting visit to Ole Miss with a few other high school teammates when I was at Horn Lake High School. Although I chose not to go to Oxford I did play my freshman year at Northeast before transferring to FreedHardeman where I later graduated.

I said all that to say this: just get involved.

Havis Hurley snapped this photo of Conner Lewis 15 years ago swinging away at the YMCA. Hurley was impressed with Lewis and told his mother and father, Rebecca and Rick, that he thought Conner would grow up to be a special player. Conner’s older brother Taylor (No. 9) is in the background in his catching gear.

LEWIS CONTINUED FROM 8A

there were no openings available on the 35-man roster at that time but not to give up,” Conner said.

“I called him and texted him to let him know I had brought my baseball glove and other gear with me to campus and I began to use the weight room to get stronger. I’m not a big guy and I knew that’s one thing I needed to work on hard while keeping myself fresh on the field.”

As fate would have it, the Lord opened another door for Lewis when Collier called and told him that three guys had quit the team and asked him to attend a team meeting that very day.

“It was like a breath of fresh air,” Conner stated.

“I knew that God had opened another door for me. Not long after that, after a team practice, coach Collier used me as an example of someone who came to school with no scholarship and no place on the team in the beginning but pointed out how hard I had worked and the determination I had to do everything I could to at least get a roster spot.”

“Conner is such an inspirational kind of young man,” Collier said. “When I called that meeting and used him as an example of how to do things the right way I wasn’t trying to embarass him but illustrate to our other players that might just be coasting along because they have a scholarship what you can do when you put your whole heart and devotion into something.”

“And Conner proved

that to me early on.”

Lewis not only moved onto the roster, he was able to see game action last season primarily in non-division games. And he played well to boot.

Plus he did it all with no scholarship money: just pure passion for the game.

“I played pretty good and made an impression on the coaches which was my intention. I was just doing whatever it took to be a productive player and teammate,” Conner lamented.

“That meeting when coach used me as a positive example was a big thing for me,” said Lewis.

“In high school I was always the one that was supposed to sign an early scholarship and made all-division and things like that. I always belonged. But when I first got to ICC I felt kind of like an outsider until he spoke up like that about me. The team really took me in.”

Conner Lewis is again a young man with a team and will likely be on scholarship next season while playing second base. He’s looking forward to improving in all areas and having a successful 2017-18 campaign with the Indians.

Driving Lewis along the entire journey is a verse from Collosians 3:23: “Whatever you do work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”

“I believe that with all my heart and try every day to do exactly what the verse says.” At the tender age of 19 Conner Lewis has a strong grasp on not just baseball but the game of life.

Even if you choose not to play league sports at least get outside every day and be active doing something if it’s just running or walking.

A growing national problem with youth obesity and non-activity among today’s generation of youngsters has propelled professional athletes from major sports to inspire today’s youth to get out and play at something.

Be active and healthy is the underlying theme.

It’s a known fact that the modern kid has more interest in playing with their IPads and being on social media than they do in being active and playing sports. If this trend continues I shutter to think what the future holds for the generation to follow.

As a kid it was common for my mother to tell me to get outside and play.

If nothing else we’d play whiffle ball or ride our bikes around the subdivision, maybe even ride down to the lake and swim or fish for a few

hours.

That time spent with my childhood friends was invaluable and also helped me develop relationship skills. Shoot, we’d even catch garter (grass) snakes and play with them. They were harmless, although I’m sure some mom’s and dad’s would rather you not bring them in the house.

My point is simply this: get outside and play.

Be active. Join a sports league. Find a sport you like and wanna work at and just do it. There’s always time for IPads and social media later. That’s not the important thing.

What is important is your health and mental wellbeing. Learning how to get along with others and develop life skills all come with being involved.

And parents need to be encouraging their children in this vitally important area of life.

They’re only young once. Let’s make sure we’re doing everything in our power to give our kids the healthy outlets they need.

Til next time…

Springs. Visitation will be Tuesday from 5-8 p.m. at Stringer Funeral Home.

Grantham played linebacker and end for legendary Ole Miss coach John Vaught from 19571959, earning three letters, and helped lead the Rebels to a 28-4-1 record, including Sugar Bowl victories over Texas and LSU and a win over Florida in the Gator Bowl.

He also was a letterman on coach Tom Swayze’s 1958 Ole Miss baseball team.

The 1959 team, which finished 10-1 and earned a share of the national championship, is considered one of the best in Ole Miss football history. When Jeff Sagarin computed his list of the all-time highest-rated college football teams from 1956 to 1995, the Ole Miss Rebels ranked No. 3 behind Nebraska’s 1995 and 1971 teams.

Grantham played a key role as the 1959 Rebel defense shut out eight opponents, while allowing only two touchdowns all season. Ole Miss outscored its opposition 329-21 that season, with the only other TD given up being LSU great Billy Cannon’s 89-yard punt return on Halloween Night in Baton Rouge that lifted the Tigers to a 7-3 win.

Ole Miss, however, got its revenge two months later in a Sugar Bowl rematch as the Rebels dominated LSU, 21-0, and held the Tigers to minus-15 yards rush-

ing. Cannon was limited to 8 yards as Grantham, who also caught an 18yard TD pass from Bobby Franklin, shadowed the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner throughout the contest. “Grantham hit Cannon every time he moved that day,” recalled Ole Miss quarterback Jake Gibbs, who had a 43-yard TD pass to Cowboy Woodruff to give the Rebels a 7-0 second quarter lead.

A member of the Ole Miss Team of the Century, Grantham was inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Ole Miss Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. He was a two-time All-Southeastern Conference selection and was chosen to play in the Hula Bowl all-star game.

Following his Ole Miss career, Grantham was drafted in 1960 by the New York Titans/Jets of the American Football League and the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League.

Grantham chose to sign with the Titans and quickly established himself as one of the keys of a Jets defense that made the playoffs in 1968 and 1969, winning the AFL Championship in 1968 and then defeating the Baltimore Colts, 16-7, in Super Bowl III. He was credited with three tackles and two pass defenses in the win over the Colts, a game which Jets quarterback Joe Namath had guaranteed a New York victory.

Seeking inflation with inflation. For five years, it has fallen short of achieving its goal of prices rising by 2 percent per year.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen attributed the recent slowdown in price gains, as measured by a price gauge tied to consumer spending, to temporary factors such as a big drop in monthly cell phone charges.

The Fed manages interest rates in pursuit of two goals – maximum employment and stable inflation. The Fed has been doing a great job on the labor front with unemployment dipping in May to a 16-year low of 4.3 percent.

That’s even better than the 4.6 percent rate the Fed currently defines as full employment.

Vintage typewriters gain fans amid ‘digital burnout’

BY RUSSELL CONTRERAS Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Typewriter enthusiasts gather at an Albuquerque restaurant to experiment with vintage Smith Coronas. Fans in Boston kneel in a city square and type stories about their lives during a pro-immigration demonstration. A documentary on typewriters featuring Tom Hanks and musician John Mayer is set for release this summer.

In the age of smartphones, social media and hacking fears, vintage typewriters that once gathered dust in attics and basements are attracting a new generation of fans across the U.S. From public “typeins” at bars to street poets selling personalized, typewritten poems on the spot, typewriters have emerged as popular items with aficionados hunting for them in thrift stores, online auction sites and antique shops. Some buy antique Underwoods to add to a growing collection. Others search for a midcentury Royal Quiet De Luxe — like a model author Ernest Hemingway used — to work on that simmering novel.

The rescued machines often need servicing, leading fans to seek out the few remaining typewriter repair shops.

“I haven’t seen business like this in years,” said John Lewis, a typewriter repairman who has operated out of his Albuquerque shop for four decades.

“There’s definitely a new interest, and it’s keeping me very busy.”

Renewed interest began around 10 years ago when small pockets of

typewriter enthusiasts came together online, said Richard Polt, a Xavier University philosophy professor and author of “The Typewriter Revolution: A Typist’s Companion for the 21st Century.”

Since then, the fan base has grown dramatically, and various public events have been organized around the typewriter.

“It’s beyond the phase where this is just a fad,” Polt said.

It’s almost impossible to gauge recent typewriter sales. Almost all of the original manufacturers are out of business or have been bought out and become different companies. Moonachie, New Jersey-based Swintec appears to be one of the last typewriter makers, selling translucent electronic machines largely to jails and prisons.

But operators of thrift stores and estate sales say typewriters are some of the quickest items to go.

“That’s part of the fun: the hunt,” said Joe Van Cleave, an Albuquerque resident who owns more than a dozen typewriters and runs a popular YouTube channel on restoring the machines. “Sometimes, like a little luck, you might find something from the 1920s in great condition.”

Doug Nichol, director of the upcoming documentary “California Typewriter,” said the interest stems from “digital burnout” and people wanting a connection to the past.

That interest seems to transcend age, he said.

“Kids who grew up knowing only mobile phones and the computer are excited to see a letter typed with your own hand,” Nichol said. “It’s

a one-on-one interaction that doesn’t get interrupted by Twitter alerts.”

In his film, set for release in August, Nichol interviews Hanks, who said he uses a typewriter almost every day to send memos and letters.

“I hate getting email thank-yous from folks,” Hanks says in the film.

“Now, if they take 70 seconds to type me out something on a piece of paper and send to me, well, I’ll keep that forever. I’ll just delete that email.”

Hanks owns about 270 typewriters but often gives them to people who show an interest.

One way the typewriter craze is growing is through organized “typeins” — meet-ups in public places where typewriter fans try different vintage machines. Such events have been held in Phoenix, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles and Cincinnati.

During a recent type-in at Albuquerque soul food restaurant Nexus Brewery, around three dozen fans took turns clicking the keys of an Italianmade 1964 Olivetti Lettera 32 and a 1947 Royal KMM, among others.

Rich Boucher spent most of his time on a 1960s-era Hermes 3000 crafting poetry.

“I haven’t used a typewriter in forever,” he said.

“This is a real refreshing way to spend a summer afternoon.”

After finishing his work, Boucher grabbed his phone and sent a Facebook status update about the experience. He then started looking online for a Hermes 3000.

“That’s the typewriter I want,” he said. “I’m going to find one.”

Author pens perfect book for dads and children

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

Dad and the Dinosaur: A book review You are the bravest kid you know.

Nothing is scary to you.

You sleep in the dark, you cross the street without holding anyone’s hand, you’re not even scared of monsters.

Well, okay, maybe that monster thing, but as in the new book “Dad and the Dinosaur” by Gennifer Choldenko and Dan Santat, you’re fine as long as you have your safetygood-luck charm.

Nicholas was not a very brave boy.

He really wanted to be.

More than anything, he wanted to get rid of his fears of bugs and manhole covers and nighttime and everything else. He wanted to be like his dad, who wasn’t afraid of anything.

Only a dinosaur kept Nicholas safe and unafraid. It fit in his hand or in his pocket. He could put it under his pillow, or tie it to his swimsuit.

It was a very small dinosaur but it was a great BIG help because, as everyone knows, dinosaurs are like Dads: they’re not afraid of

anything, either.

Nicholas put up a brave front. Everyone thought he was a fearless kid and life might’ve gone on just like that, with nobody knowing his BIG secret. Things would have been fine, except for one problem: Nicholas lost his dinosaur.

He’d tucked it in his sock just before he stepped onto the soccer field. He thought it was there when he fearlessly kicked the ball right past the kid they call The Gorilla, a move that Nicholas’ mom got on video.

Dad said Nicholas was “incredible,” but Nicho-

las was incredibly sad. He couldn’t find his dinosaur.

He looked. And looked.

He crawled almost the whole entire field on his hands and knees until it got dark but the dino was lost for good. What wasn’t gone were the same old fears – things the dinosaur kept away.

How would Nicholas ever be able to sleep again?

Would he ever be able to go outside in the dark?

And how could he continue to convince people that he was totally fearless?

Dads fix things.

That’s what conventional wisdom would have

you think: moms nurture, dads fix. But in “Dad and the Dinosaur,” your child will see that fathers bolster hearts, too.

The fears are real inside this cute picture book, and only one thing keeps them at bay: a fierce and powerful dinosaur, lurking in the shadows of the pages in which Nicholas needs him. The illustrations by Dan Santat are clear about the creature’s protections and kids will understand that completely but beware!

The illustrations might be frightening on their own, were it not for the

story itself: author Gennifer Choldenko gives this tale the most heroic, most wonderfully understanding Conquerer of Fears, and that guy knows how to make things right.

Don’t be surprised if it makes you melt, too.

While this book can surely be enjoyed by any 5-to-8-year-old, it appears to be more of a book for boys who idolize their Pops. If you have one of those in your house, then “Dad and the Dinosaur” is scary-good.

Be considerate of others’ feelings WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I am in my 60s and 6 feet 7 inches tall, and I am fed up with being approached by total strangers who ask such things as, “How tall are you?” “Did you play basketball?” “How tall is your wife?” “Your children?”

And then there are the same tired jokes: “How is the weather up there?”

“Let me know when it starts raining.” “How’s the air up there?”

And so on.

I am not self-conscious about my height, but I know that some tall men and women are.

I would not consider asking an overweight person how much she weighs or a short person how short he is and whether he is a jockey.

My mother taught me to never ask a woman her age or weight because it could offend her.

But it seems society thinks that it’s OK to offend tall people.

If you don’t know me, please don’t ask about my height. — Had It Up to Here Dear Had It: Yes, most adults wouldn’t crack jokes at a short stranger’s expense, and far fewer people think tall jokes are offensive.

I think the reason for that is similar to the reason people think it’s OK to tease

Dear Annie a thin friend about her weight but not a heavier one.

People see tallness as a desirable trait.

But I agree with you.

It’s rude — not to mention totally unoriginal.

Sometimes a wry response — for example, “Wow, I’ve never heard that one before” — is enough.

It points out to the person that he or she was being unoriginal, and it gives you the satisfaction of having stood up for yourself.

Finally, I have seen T-shirts out there that read: “Yes, I’m tall.

No, I don’t play basketball. The weather up here is perfect. I’m so glad we had this conversation.”

Perhaps wearing one would save you some trouble.

Dear Annie: You recently asked for tips on living life with a disability.

This one is well worth printing, as it changed my life hugely.

I use a walker.

One day a stranger at the senior center passed

by, pulled an item out of his pocket and stuck it on the handle of my walker; no words were exchanged.

It was a heavy-duty Shook. I no longer have to wrestle with getting my car keys hooked onto the basket under the walker seat.

I now have a strong addition for carrying in shopping bags. I can carry more items around the house.

Finally, I got smart and added one to the handle on the other side for even more carrying ability.

I strongly urge that everyone with a walker get to the hardware store and purchase two of these lifechanging items, which cost less than $1 each.

Or buy some for those you know who use a walker. Great gift!

Several times a day, I thank this man, who was legally blind and hearing-impaired himself, for reaching out. — Less Challenged Dear Less Challenged: What a great tip.

I love those handy Shooks, and this is the handiest use of them I’ve heard yet.

Thank you for sharing.

Just two. One of these I have traveled over some letters just fascinates me of the old encampment.

There is nothing to be and I want to share it.

It was written by a Con- seen but destruction. All federate soldier by the the old encampment is name of John A. Crutch- covered with clover, timfield and his is an inter- othy & blue grass.

Crutchfield we will get back before long & woe unto some of those thieves. I hope to get home soon. Should I not get home by harvest I hope that I have friends enough there to help save my grain, but do the best you can. There is some prospects of a speedy peace. I think if you see any chance write to me.

I will close, yours respectfully, Direct yours to Bell’s Brigade, Reynolds Regt, Co. F J. Crutchfield Born in 1830, John was from Huntingdon in Carroll County, Tenn. Before the war he was living on the family farm support-

ing his wife Lucinda, two small children, and his aging mother Elizabeth.

They were not exactly rich but they were doing pretty well for the times.

When John wrote this letter he was serving as the 1st Lieutenant of Company F, 15th Tennessee Cavalry. His record reveals that he began his service with the regiment on December 1, 1863.

However, his statement about “the old encampment” tells us he was in Corinth early in the war so he must have spent some time in another regiment.

I have looked under every stone but I can find no record of the unit John was serving with.

Seven of John’s letters have survived and they document a very busy spring and summer of 1864. Like any soldier he craved news of home and in turn sent news back to Huntingdon about the health of the local men in his company. He frequently chided Lucinda for not writing enough.

He was a cavalryman who rode with the celebrated Gen. Nathan B. Forrest, which if you know anything about this enigmatic leader, you would understand just why John was so very busy. In other letters he informed Lucinda of the brilliant victory at Brice’s Crossroads and the devastating defeat at Tupelo (Harrisburg).

One day in Tupelo he saw a number of civilian neighbors from back home who had been arrested for being Union sympathizers. “I was sorry for them, it looked cruel to march men from their homes in that way.”

He didn’t feel comfortable putting their names in ink on the page, but he did mention seeing one Johnny Britt among them.

Britt was a 54 year-old civilian farmer who was arrested for his allegiance to the United States and though he was accused of no crime or sabotage he would never see home again. Britt died in Mobile while enroute to Andersonville prison.

John’s final letter was penned from his camp near Oxford in early September. He told Lucinda about riding into Memphis on Forrest’s spectacular raid that

nearly netted Maj. Gen. Cadwallader Washburn.

The Union general narrowly evaded capture by rushing to safety down a back alley in his night shirt. (Next time you have ribs at The Rendezvous, you’ll be able to tell your friends you know how “General Washburn’s Escape Alley” got its name.)

In a post script to his final letter he wrote, “I expect to be at home if nothing turns up in two or three weeks.”

Alas, it was not to be.

John was killed in action at Athens, Ala. on Sept. 24, 1864. Forrest and his men were engaged with the Union garrison which included the 2nd Alabama Infantry of African Descent, two companies of which were recruited from the Corinth Contraband Camp. At the time of his death Lt. Crutchfield owned a bay horse valued at $700, a blanket, bridle, saddle, one navy pistol, and $181 in Confederate currency.

One other thing about that letter he wrote from Corinth. On a seperate page he attached the lyrics to what he called a “song ballad” These were the words to the popular song “When This Cruel War is Over,” also known as “Weeping Sad and Lonely.”

Weeping, sad and lonely, hopes and fears how vain!

When this cruel war is over, praying that we meet again.

When she mentioned Mitchell’s book, however, she said, “I would certainly let you borrow my copy, but I’m afraid I’ve read it to tatters.” She had taken it from the shelf and, as she flipped the loose pages in her hands, I remember thinking I would not dare risk borrowing so delicate a book. actually quite well-written and engaging. I would just get sidetracked for one reason or another.

This past January, I tried it one more time. Newly refreshed from celebrating the holidays, I sat down with my hardback copy (that I bought seven years ago) and dove once more into “that bright April afternoon of 1861,” watching Scarlett O’Hara, with all her spoiled charm, sit lazily between those Tarleton twins.

Five months later, I can proudly say I have finally completed this long-awaited goal.

During the first third of the book (that I’ve read now for the third or fourth time), I tried not to be overconfident, knowing it

had bested me before. But by the time I found Scarlett leaving Atlanta, traveling the lonely road back to Tara after the war, I knew I was in it for good.

I read at home, on vacation, during lunch breaks — anywhere I could. The staff at more than one downtown restaurant kept tabs on how I was doing.

I would order food, and they would ask how much further I had to go. In fact, I distinctly remember eating lunch downtown when I came across Scarlett’s (and Melanie’s) fateful encounter with the Yankee soldier at Tara.

I finished the novel at the end of May, having read the majority of it during that month. I’ll talk about the finer points of the

novel in my next article, but for now I will simply say it is one of the best novels I have ever read.

There were obviously sections of it that I was familiar with, but so much of it was unexpected — the narrative, the depth of character, the theme of survival in an uprooted world. I had watched the movie at school several years ago, but I barely remembered anything from it.

Having finished the book last month, it’s nice to look back and reflect on one’s reading. As I said, I’ll give my analysis next time. For now though, I’m looking forward to July. My grandmother will turn 90 years old next month, and I’ve already got “Gone with the Wind” on DVD. I’m looking forward to visiting with her again. She always has those 8-ounce bottles of a certain soft drink that pairs particularly well with popcorn.

We’ll sit back, watch, and talk about the triumphs and tragedies of Scarlett O’Hara.

Although I am not old enough to recall that mode of interaction between races, I realize that five decades is not that long when we speak of a radically different societal structure — essentially a caste system — and the injustices that accompanied it. Likewise, four decades is much too long in obtaining justice for three men who willingly gave their lives to try to improve the lives of fellow citizens. their lives to trek to Mississippi, a highly segregated state at the time. As outsiders, they lived with black families throughout the state, immersing themselves in the local culture.

ton, now a member of Congress representing the District of Columbia, was a law student in 1964 who worked to help train student volunteers. Norton witnessed violence firsthand while trying to help rescue noted civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer from a Mississippi jail. She said, “When I asked to see Miss Hamer, this storied woman leader of the civil rights movement in the South that she was to become, she had been beaten unmercifully by a black trusty. And [the white prison guards] told him, if you don’t beat her [hard enough], we’ll see just how you beat her and we’re going to beat you even harder.”

The most-remembered participants of the movement that turbulent summer were three young men. The first, Andrew Goodman, was a 20-yearold anthropology student at Queens College. Another was Mickey Schwerner, a 24-year-old social work student at Columbia University. The third was James Chaney, a 21-yearold volunteer from Meridian connected with the Congress for Racial Equality.

The three young men were sent to investigate the burning of a church in Philadelphia. On June 21, they were arrested by the Neshoba County police and then abducted by the Ku Klux Klan. Their bodies were later found in an earthen dam. The two white volunteers, Goodman and Schwerner, had been shot. The body of Chaney, an AfricanAmerican, was mutilated beyond recognition. The act was labelled “the first interracial lynching in the history of the United States” by Martin Popper, the attorney for the Goodman family.

The shadow of these murders haunted Mississippi for decades, and the incident was famously depicted in the 1988 film Mississippi Burning. Ultimately, it would take

41 years for a Neshoba County grand jury to indict Edgar Ray Killen on three counts of murder for planning and directing the killing of the three men.

The anniversary of Freedom Summer coincides with another important date in history. A few years ago this same month in June a largely conservative Supreme Court invalidated Section 4 — which provided federal oversight of the voting process in specified states — of the Voting Rights Act, passed in August 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson.

My interest in this segment of history was further piqued by a play I saw in 2014 in New York on Broadway called “All the Way,” with “Breaking Bad” actor Bryan Cranston portraying President Johnson. The Tony award-winning play chronicles the violence in the South during Freedom Summer and Johnston’s struggle to balance the tension between the Northern supporters who wanted him to take action against segregation in the South and Democratic supporters in the South who expected him to enact a laissez-faire approach to Jim Crow, the system of segregation which had been dominant in the South for about 70 years at the time.

Although I am not old enough to recall that mode of interaction between races, I realize that five decades is not that long when we speak of a radically different societal structure — essentially a caste system — and the injustices that accompanied it. Likewise, four decades is much too long in obtaining justice for three men who willingly gave their lives to try to improve the lives of fellow citizens.

On the anniversary of such an event, it is important to remember those who sacrificed to strive to obtain freedom and justice for others. If some of us are lacking guaranteed freedoms, then we are all lacking.

The most intense “Tyger, fledgling went through the motions with varying degrees of tyger, burning bright,” however, was a lean, half-feral female ineptitude.

John had rescued her from starvation, and Fledermaus rewarded him with utter devotion. She’d nestle beside him on the sofa and gently set one paw upon his thigh. If he stretched out, she’d settle herself on his chest or in the small of his back to snooze, her dainty feet tucked beneath her trim, grey self. John was her Main Man for more than 20 years.

But let that Fledermaus hear a rustle or glimpse a furtive movement of mouse or bird, bat or vole or flying squirrel, and her eyes went cold; her jaw quivered convulsively, making an odd, but most unfunny chatter of pure, prey-driven desire.

I was not happy when a couple of wren-like birds built a big, sloppy nest inside our screened-in porch up on the

second floor.

John was still working on the house when we moved in, and he’d left one section of the porch unscreened so he could drag the boards up rather than lug them up the stairs. Doors from both the kitchen and living room opened onto the porch. He’d set long panes of glass into the living room doors to lighten the interior, though, most of the year, we left all the porch doors open.

The nest was too high for even ’Maus to reach, but she’d crouch below, fascinated by the chorus of hungry chicks as Mom and Pop flew in and out, worms and whatnot dangling from their beaks. Pretty soon, five pairs of curious eyes peered down at ’Maus and me, the restless babies crowded cheek to cheek. A charming sight, but an alarming one. Any day now, they’d be flying the cooped-up quarters. I tried to keep the front doors closed, but John and the dogs were in and out all

day long.

Then I happened upon Fledermaus plastered to the window in the living room door one afternoon, her whole body a’tremble, her head moving from side to side and up and down as if she followed a frantic ping pong match.

All five fledglings were bouncing from perch to perch out there on the porch. They’d do their best to land on whatever was handy: picnic table, clothes rack, rocking chair,….

But mostly they caromed from screen to screen, clinging to the mesh and flapping hard as they got their bearings, then zing off to the next spot.

Not much bigger than their offspring, though a lot more agile, Mom and Pop were flitting back and forth alongside them, adding their tweets to the chaotic chorus but having a hard time explaining which way was out.

Thankful that ’Maus had been too mesmerized by the sight of that flying circus to check out the other exit, I turned and ran to the kitchen door. Wide open, as usual. I stepped onto the porch, closing it behind me, and stood still to enjoy the show.

Disaster averted. Big relief.

On the other hand, I sure felt sorry for Fledermaus on the far side of the living room door, passionately clawing at the glass, her eyes as big as saucers.

Lunches, lunches, everywhere. And not one puff to eat.

Wet weather brings back slime molds I wanted to write on a subject that has shown up recently due to all the wet weather that we have been experiencing.

The culprit tI’m speaking of is a slime mold.

I noticed recently that we have several patches migrating across our lawn area here at the Alcorn County MSU Extension office. These molds cover above ground plant parts with a dustygray or black mass. In your lawn it may look as if someone with dirty shoes has tracked across your yard. The areas might be scattered and will appear dark gray with sometimes a blue tint to them.

If you look closely you will see small round spheres which

Slime molds do not feed on living plants. They only use them for support during reproduction. The only damage they do to grass and other plants is to shade them from sunlight, which is necessary for good plant growth. When the fungus-like growth is real heavy, the shade it produces may cause the leaf blades to turn yellow.

if you rub them between your fingers, a puff of sooty like powder will appear. This powder like substance is the spores of the fungus.

Slime molds normally live in the soil where they feed on decaying organic matter. When a slime mold is ready to repro-

plant growth. When the funguslike growth is real heavy, the shade it produces may cause the leaf blades to turn yellow.

Slime molds occur during wet weather throughout the spring, summer, and fall. They disappear rapidly as soon as it becomes dry.

In most cases a control is not necessary. If the growth is objectionable, you can readily break up the masses by sweeping with a broom or by spraying with a strong stream of water.
