TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A Corinth man was one of six people arrested on recent drug charges. The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department cracked down on drug use during a series a traffic stops. Sheriff John Daugherty said his department has been “actively conducting traffic stops in the Tishomingo County and the traffic stops have resulted in several felony drug Masters arrests.” Among those arrested included 53-year-old Corinth resident Michael Masters. Masters was apprehended on felony possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine. His bond was set at $7,500 and he remains in jail. The other five arrested on drug charges were Iuka residents. Twenty-two-year-old David Watson was booked on a felony possession of a controlled substance charge, also for methamphetamine. His bond was set at $2,500. Watson is currently out on bond. Forty-one-year-old Christopher Hutchings was arrested and officially charged with felony possession of controlled substance, methamphetamine. Hutchings’ bond was set by the

Early attendance results are pointing to enrollment holding about even in the Corinth School District. Superintendent Lee Childress said district-wide attendance is tracking at about 2,650 thus far, although the number will climb a bit as new students continue to be enrolled daily. The school year began July 31. With a waiting list for prekindergarten, the district is near the numbers that will allow for an additional class, he said. The enrollment report was part of a light agenda for the board of trustees Thursday evening. In personnel, hires approved by the board are: • Logan Lyles — Corinth Middle School assistant football and girls’ basketball coach • Stephanie Patterson, Amy Weeden and Megan Williams — CMS extended year • Terina Dexter — Corinth High School • Craig Strickland, April Cole, Alesha Knight and Barbara Trapp — CHS zero period • Virla D. Kirksey — Corinth Elementary School teacher assistant • Blake Nicholas and Andrew Mauney — Bus drivers Resignations are TaNechi Temple, CHS interventionist, and Drew Dance, assistant fast pitch coach. The board also adopted the 2017-2018 budget, which holds the millage rate for city schools level.

Charlotte Doehner. “We are always looking for volunteers to help us do an endless amount of different things at the shelter,” she said. “The people working at the shelter is as important as the animals we care for.” Currently the shelter has volunteers all over the United States who do many different things to help. “We have discovered that people want to help us help the animals we are working so hard to find fur-ever homes for and they have amazing skills and gifts to offer that we never dreamed of,” said Doehner. Individuals who live locally can volunteer at the shelter and help tremendously, said Doehner. Some of the most important jobs needed at the shelter are quite simple and include walking and socializing with the animals. “We have a long list of other things we could use,” said Doehner. Volunteer tasks currently needed include transport drivers and coordinators, grant writers, playing, petting and loving animals, washing and grooming animals, special events coordinator, general office support, community events assistant, facility operations assistant, social media assistant and photographer or videographer. “We would love to find someone who would volunteer at the shelter taking photos and videos of our adoptable animals and posting them on social media,” she said. The shelter also welcomes groups who are interested in volunteering. “Student and company and business groups often visit the shelter to help where needed,” said Doehner. “We partner with one-time or recurring groups for shelter tasks, days of service and special projects.” Due to a decrease in trustee labor, the shelter also hires individuals as animal handlers. “In order to run the shelter, we almost always need seven to eight animal handlers on staff and with
so much turnover, we are always hiring,” said Doehner. “We would love to find a couple of individuals right now who love working and caring for animals and who need a job.” The position is part-time with 35 guaranteed hours per week. Individuals begin at $8 per hour and there are opportunities for advancement. Tasks include cleaning cages, socializing animals, caring for sick animals and other normal shelter duties. “For someone who loves being around animals all day, it’s a dream job,” added Doehner. Foster parents are also a volunteer-based opportunity where the shelter needs help. “We can always use more foster homes,” said the director. “We have dogs and cats in need of foster homes from puppies and kittens to seniors, small to big, and everything in between. We pay all approved medical expenses for our foster animals. We ask only that our foster homes care for the animal and help us make the animal a well-adjusted family pet, as well as help us decide which adopter is the right one for their animal.” Foster homes get first “dibs” on the animal if they fall in love, said Doehner. “We value our foster homes highly and work with them regularly to ensure the animal is doing well,” she said. “There is a short application process that individuals must complete before discussing the facility or home situation that matches the right animal with that foster.” While the animal is with the foster, shelter staff make drop in visits and follow-up phone calls to ensure the animal is safe. (To volunteer, foster or donate, visit corinthalcornanimalshelter. com or contact 662-284-5800. Individuals interested in applying for an animal handler position should contact 662-284-5800 or visit the shelter at 3825 Proper Street in Corinth for an interview.)

Presley’s friends still feel love, pain 40 years after his death Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It isn’t just the legend of Elvis Presley that has unmatched staying power 40 years after his death. The guilt, pain and regret felt by those who knew and loved him lingers, too. Prolific session musician and producer Norbert Putnam was on vacation with his family in Hawaii when he heard his friend died of a heart attack. After years of making groundbreaking music and acting in more than two dozen movies, Presley’s career had slowed, and historical accounts of his life note he
was fighting obesity and substance abuse when he passed away in his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee. Putnam was standing in line to pay for items at a general store when he heard someone say Presley had died. “I reached into my pocket, threw some money down, ran to the car, threw the food down, turned on the radio,” Putnam said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. Putnam switched on the radio. The announcer said: “Elvis Presley died this
morning.” “I sat there in my car and bawled like a child who had a toy taken away from him,” Putnam said. “I could not believe it. I thought someone should have staged an intervention. I thought he could have been saved.” Since Presley’s death, devotees of the swivel-hipped, smooth talking performer who was born into poverty in Tupelo, Mississippi, and became an international star have been flocking to Memphis for Elvis Week, the annual celebration of his life and career.
“I came just because his story has piqued my interest for so long,” he said. “I’m glad I came out, to see the site and to meet Dwana. It was well worth the drive.” Tina Mullis, curator of the Buford Pusser Home and Museum, said the event was a success.
“We appreciate everyone who made the trip from near and far,” Mullis said. “A lot of people come to these events, come to the museum several times a year and they have become family to us. We look forward to other visitors to McNairy County in the future.”

Joshua Mullins, 26, has been charged with the burglary of Jumpertown School on Nov. 22, 2016. Sheriff Randy Tolar reports Mullins was recently arrested out of state and has been extradited back to Mississippi. He is currently being held in the Tippah County Jail on unrelated charges in that jurisdiction. Tolar said he will be transferred to Prentiss County once his Tippah County Case has been resolved. Sheriff’s Department Investigator Roy Ragin investigated the case and will present it to the next session of the grand jury. Â
Coahoma County Authorities recapture 1 of 4 prisoners COAHOMA COUNTY (AP) — Officials have captured one of four inmates who escaped from
a county jail in Mississippi a day after the breakout. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety said Saturday that Cordarius Thomas of Clarksdale was back in custody. He was jailed on charges of assault and burglary. Authorities are still looking for three other inmates who got out of the Coahoma County Jail early Friday. The sheriff’s office says the four were discovered missing during a routine check. Marquis Stevenson of Jonestown was jailed on a statutory rape charge while out on bond on a murder charge. Percy Bryant of Clarksdale was jailed on an aggravated assault charge, and LeAndrew Booker of Clarksdale was being held for burglary. Â
Holly Springs
Family offers reward for murder victim’s dog HOLLY SPRINGS — The family of a man found murdered in Chewalla Lake is offering a $2,000 reward for the return of his dog, reported the Daily Journal. Samuel Smith, 19, of Maumelle, Ark., and his traveling
companion Khava, stopped at the Chewalla Lake Recreation Area on July 25 for a couple of days of camping and fishing. Smith was found dead days later, and the dog has been missing ever since. A Marshall County deputy spotted a dog matching Khava’s description the day after Smith’s body was discovered floating face up in the lake July 29. But the dog was skittish and avoided the deputy. Authorities set out food last week, hoping to rescue the dog, with no luck. Even though it has been more than two weeks since Smith is believed to have been murdered, Smith’s mother feels the dog is still alive. Khava, whose name comes from the Hebrew word meaning ‘life, breath,� is a 3 year-old border collie/shepherd mix with long hair. She has white front paws and a black nose. Her eyes are distinctly light, a gold-yellowy color. She is a little smaller than a German shepherd and weighs about 70 pounds. Information and pictures of Khava have been flooding social media. Local officials have been posting flyers about Khava and the $2,000 reward
around the Chewalla Lake area in hopes that she will be found and returned. Â
Oxford
Alabama man pleads guilty to robbing post office OXFORD (AP) — An Alabama man has pleaded guilty to robbing a northeast Mississippi post office and firing a gun at the postmaster. Court record show Richard Thomas Scott of Wilmer, Alabama, pleaded guilty Friday to the charges in federal court in Oxford. Federal officials say Scott entered the post office in the Pontotoc County hamlet of Randolph just after it opened on Sept. 23 and fired at least three shots at postmaster Virginia Duff, striking her once in the arm. Scott stole Duff’s purse and fled. Duff’s injury wasn’t lifethreatening. Scott is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 7. He faces up to 35 years in prison and $500,000 in fines. Angela Roy still faces trial. Officials say Roy, who had lived in Randolph since 2011, drove a getaway car for Scott.
Complaints challenge Mississippi Medicaid decision Associated Press
JACKSON — A nonprofit organization supported by hospitals and another health care provider have filed complaints over Mississippi Medicaid’s decision to award a major managed care contract to other companies. Mississippi True, a newly formed nonprofit backed by 65 hospitals, and Amerigroup have gone to court asking for damages and seeking a court order to bar
the state from finalizing the Medicaid contract, which they contend was awarded improperly. The agency made the decision to award the work to Magnolia Health, Molina Healthcare of Mississippi and UnitedHealthcare after the three scored the best in an assessment. UnitedHealthcare and Magnolia Health have managed the MississippiCAN program since it began in 2011. The managed care companies
will oversee the reimbursement of roughly $2 billion in public funds annually, according to Medicaid. Each of three companies filed motions asking to intervene on the lawsuit over the decision. Medicaid declined comment on the litigation but said the division follows a “stringent procurement process in accordance with federal and state law and regulations.�

Movie adds to paranoia pileup for parents
If you’ve seen the poster for Halle Berry’s new movie — or heck, noticed its name, “Kidnap” — it will come as no surprise that a few minutes after Halle has taken her son to the park and gets distracted by a brief phone call, her child disappears. He has been Taken. Oh, wait. Sorry — that’s the Liam Neeson franchise. But anyway, yes, her child has disappeared in the blink of an eye, Lenore and a few frantic scenes later, spies him being loaded Skenazy Halle into a car even older than my Columnist own. Incredible. How is it that child snatching is presented as such a lucrative business (according to the movie, kids go for $100,000 each), and yet the snatchers drive clunkers? It must be because they drive the most amazing clunkers in all creation, capable of careening through 90 minutes of Hollywood car chases. For that is what “Kidnap” quickly becomes: Halle on the heels of the creeps, setting off wreck after wreck on the way, all treated as meh, because she is a Mom on a Mission. Between highway shots, we see Halle talking to herself in the car — ”I’m coming baby!” — and that’s it. Plus, in one scene, a shovel to the head. Now you don’t have to buy a ticket. But a trite script and only moderately tense car chase are not what’s criminal about this movie. What’s criminal is that it is supposed to be a heroic tale of Halle dealing with every mom’s worst nightmare: A stranger kidnapping her kid. But instead of empowering moms, the plot reinforces the idea that this particular crime is something all parents should keep top of mind when taking their kids on an outing. Thinking that way is not only terrifying, it’s changing the way we parent, and the way our kids grow up. Strangers kidnapping young children to sell is such a vanishingly rare crime that David Finkelhor, head of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, said he’d file the “Kidnap” movie under “science fiction.” And yet, around the country, parents wait with their kids at the bus stop every morning now, or drive them door-to-door. A Mayo Clinic study found that three out of four parents are afraid their children will be abducted. Only about 13 percent of kids still walk to school. Thanks to “Kidnap”-type fears, children are constantly supervised outdoors, or simply stashed indoors for safekeeping, like delicate china. While a single movie doesn’t move the needle, what we have today is a culture so obsessed by kiddie kidnapping that you’ll find booths at fairs where parents are encouraged to fingerprint their kids, save a bit of their hair, and sometimes even have the kids take a dental impression, all to be prepared if “the unthinkable” occurs. An article this past weekend about one such booth in Texas quoted a mom saying, “There’s so many children that are taken, and trying to get all these things together in that moment of panic is hard.” She is already rehearsing the “Kidnap” scenario in her head. What is the harm of being prepared? It’s that in our desire to keep kids safe from an extremely unlikely danger we are exposing them to far more likely ones. Obesity and childhood depression are both up. Young people age 19 have the activity levels of 60-year-olds. From 200 to 2009, “adult onset” diabetes soared 30 percent — in kids. We are making our kids more emotionally and physically vulnerable by not letting them do things on their own. Until we give them back some unstructured, unsupervised time outside, consider them kidnapped ... by us. Lenore Skenazy is author of the book and blog “Free-Range Kids” and a hilarious keynote speaker at conferences, companies and schools. Run out and get her book “Has the World Gone Skenazy?”
Prayer For Today Father of mankind, may I not be a barrier to the discouraged, but help them in the ways of encouragement. May I not allow pride and prejudice to keep me from acts of love and deeds of kindness, but may I be worthy of thy trust. Amen.

Corinth, Miss.
The gang that couldn’t threaten straight It was inevitable. Eventually, President Donald Trump would treat a foreign adversary as harshly as Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was on the receiving end of the alliteration heard around the world, when Trump promised “fire and fury” if Pyongyang continued to threaten the United States. An American president has said this kind of thing before, although, it must be noted, he was actually in the act of waging a nuclear war. “They may expect a rain of ruin from the air,” President Harry S. Truman said of the Japanese after Hiroshima, “the like of which has never been seen on this Earth.” As cable TV prepared to go to DEFCON 1, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson popped up to smooth everything over with a generous helping of diplo-speak. Tillerson supported what Trump said, but at times took a tone of polite distance from the president for whom he works. Secretary of Defense James Mattis, meanwhile, issued his own, much tougher statement. So, you can choose the president’s bellicosity, the secretary of defense’s firmness or
the secretary of state’s palaver. Which reflects the administration’s true posture? Rich Who knows? In his Lowry own mind, National Trump’s inReview tention may really be to use military force to deny North Korea the capability to threaten the United States with a nuclear-armed ICBM. The goal is obviously a worthy one, but a raid against North Korea, even one conceived as limited, would have the potential to spin into something much broader. For a military operation that sober-minded people believe could, at the outer bounds of its destructiveness, cause more than a million casualties, the president should probably get authorization from Congress — when it’s not obvious that Congress can even pass a budget. He’d need to undertake extensive war and postwar planning, mustering all relevant agencies of the U.S. government -- when it’s still in doubt whether his new chief of staff can even suc-
ceed in keeping order within the Oval Office. He’d need to get regional allies on board for a war that could bring untold destruction to their countries — when South Korea just elected a dovish president and we don’t even have an ambassador in Seoul. He’d need to commit himself to an enterprise that would require all of his attention in highstress conditions for an extended period of time — when he couldn’t stick with one position on the House-passed health care bill for more than a couple of weeks. So it’s hard to see the president cashing this particular rhetorical check. At least Trump’s words reflect a desire to do — or at least say — something different after three decades of bipartisan failure on North Korea. His is the rhetoric of strategic impatience, and given the history, the impulse is understandable. For years, we have pursued desultory sanctions against Pyongyang with intermittent negotiations conducted through a prism of self-delusion. The strategy of negotiating over a nuclear capability that you develop while talks are on-
going is a North Korea invention, borrowed, with great success, by the Iranians. It’d be nice if Tillerson showed any awareness of this background as he mouths foreign-service talking points. According to Tillerson, we are not North Korea’s enemy, we don’t seek regime change, and we just want to sit down and denuclearize the Korean Peninsula like good, reasonable people. The middle ground between Trump’s saber rattling and Tillerson’s diplomatic pleading would be a comprehensive policy toward the goal of regime change. As former Bush administration official Robert Joseph argues, such a strategy would involve cutting off the North from the international financial system, interdicting its weapons trafficking and perhaps shooting down its test missiles or instituting a blockade. If such an approach would have its own risks, at least it would be a strategy. If the Trump administration wants to really send a signal to Kim Jong Un, it should get itself together and pick one.
Google’s ‘tolerance’ requires repression Would a fair society have exactly the same percentage of men and women, of whites and blacks and Latinos and Asians, in every line of work and occupational category? If your answer is yes, and that any divergence from these percentages must necessarily result from oppression, then you qualify for a job at Google. If not, forget about it. In your own lives you may have observed that few occupational categories — certainly not Google engineers — have such gender and ethnic percentages. You probably guessed that this results in part from people with different characteristics having different interests, talents and goals. But you’re not allowed to say that out loud, as Google engineer James Damore did last month in an internally circulated 10-page memorandum entitled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.” He cited the conclusions of neuroscientists and psychologists that measurable differences between male and female brain structure result in different behavior and preferences. “The memo was fair and factually accurate,” writes Canadian neuroscientist Debra Soh in the Toronto Globe & Mail. “Scientific studies have confirmed sex differences in the brain that lead to differences in our interests and behavior.” If

you believe in evolution, it’s easy to see how it could make women more nurturing and Michael interested in Barone working with people and Columnist men more aggressive and interested in working with things. Paradoxically, nondiscriminatory societies may see wider differences. “Research has shown that cultures with greater gender equity have larger sex differences when it comes to job preferences,” Soh writes, “because in these societies, people are free to choose their occupations based on what they enjoy.” That’s apparent in today’s medical profession. Fifty percent of medical students are women: equity. But as psychiatrist/blogger Scott Alexander points out, male and female M.D.s tend to choose different specialties: 75 percent of pediatrics residents are women; 72 percent of radiology residents are men. Damore’s memorandum became public Aug. 6 when Gizmodo labeled it an “antidiversity screed.” Similarly inaccurate and slanderous characterizations were published by The Washington Post, CNN, Time, The Atlantic, Forbes, The Huffing-
ton Post, Vanity Fair, ABC News, Fox News, BBC, NBC News, Fast Company and Slate. “I cannot remember the last time so many outlets and observers mischaracterized so many aspects of a text everyone possessed,” wrote The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf. The punishment for heresy is, of coursem excommunication. Damore was fired Monday. “Part of building an open, inclusive environment,” said Google’s vice president for diversity, integrity and governance, “means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions. But” -- key word — “that discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and antidiscrimination laws.” Similarly, Google’s CEO said Tuesday: “We strongly support the right of Googlers to express themselves. However” — key word — “portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.” George Orwell would recognize this doublespeak: We totally support free speech except when we call it heresy. Tolerance requires repression. Ironically, for a com-

pany that makes money by transmitting information, Google’s position is intellectually incoherent. What its CEO dismisses as “harmful gender stereotypes” are the conclusions, after years of painstaking research, of serious neuroscientists. And Google’s tacit endorsement of the quasi-religious dogma that a fair society must produce gender balance and proportionate ethnic representation is at war with both experience and logic. Defenders of that dogma fear that rejecting it would justify gender and ethnic discrimination. But that’s wrong. Just follow James Damore’s advice: “Treat people as individuals, not just as another member of their group.” The dogma is needed to justify the elaborate apparatus of gender and racial quotas and preferences and the lavish campus and corporate diversity bureaucracies to enforce them and stamp out heresy. As a reliable transmitter of free thought, Google seems headed down the path toward the Spanish Inquisition.

Parents test school liability Officials: White nationalist in bullying and child suicide rally linked to three deaths Associated Press
CINCINNATI — The parents of an 8-year-old Ohio boy who hanged himself from his bunk bed with a necktie want school officials held responsible, testing the issue of school liability in suicides blamed on bullying. The wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of Gabriel Taye against Cincinnati Public Schools and school officials cites repeated examples of Gabriel and
others being bullied at his elementary school. They contend school officials knew about the bullying but were “deliberately indifferent,” allowing a “treacherous school environment.” Knowledge of harassment and failure to do something are among elements set in a 1999 U.S. Supreme Court ruling for school liability cases. “The deliberate indifference standard set forth (by the Supreme Court) sets a high bar for
plaintiffs,” a 2016 opinion by a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says. “It requires only that school administrators respond to known peer harassment in a manner that is not ‘clearly unreasonable in light of the known circumstances.’” The ruling rejected an appeal by a Tennessee family that sued a school district over two years of alleged relentless bullying that forced their son to change schools.
Secessionists push for South to break away Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — As 21st century activists seek to topple monuments to the 19th century Confederate rebellion, some white Southerners are again advocating for what the Confederates tried and failed to do: secede from the Union. It’s not an easy argument to win, and it’s not clear how much support the idea has: The leading Southern nationalist group, the Alabamabased League of the South, has been making the same claim for more than two decades and
still has an address in the U.S.A., not the C.S.A. But the idea of a breakaway Southern nation persists. The League of the South’s longtime president, retired university professor Michael Hill of Killen, Alabama, posted a message in July that began, “Fight or die white man” and went on to say Southern nationalists seek “nothing less than the complete reconquest and restoration of our patrimony — the whole, entire South.” “And that means the

South will once again be in name and in actuality White Man’s Land.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A car plowed into a crowd of people peacefully protesting a white nationalist rally Saturday in a Virginia college town, killing one person, hurting more than a dozen others and ratcheting up tension in a day full of violent confrontations. Shortly after, a Virginia State Police helicopter that officials said was assisting with the rally crashed outside Charlottesville, killing the pilot and a trooper. The chaos boiled over at what is believed to be the largest group of white nationalists to come together in a decade. The governor declared a state of emergency, and police dressed in riot gear ordered people out. The group had gathered to protest plans to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, and others arrived to protest the racism. Matt Korbon, a 22-year-old University of Virginia student, said several hundred counterprotesters were marching when “suddenly there was just this tire screeching sound.” A silver Dodge Challenger smashed into another car, then backed up, barreling through “a sea of people.”
The impact hurled people into the air. Those left standing scattered, screaming and running for safety in different directions. The driver was later arrested, authorities said. The turbulence began Friday night, when the white nationalists carried torches though the University of Virginia campus. It quickly spiraled into violence Saturday morning. Hundreds of people threw punches, hurled water bottles and unleashed chemical sprays. At least one person was arrested in connection. City officials said the car collision left 19 people injured and said they treated 35 patients altogether. State Police said in a statement that the helicopter was “assisting public safety resources with the ongoing situation” when it crashed in a wooded area. The pilot, Lieutenant H. Jay Cullen, 48, of Midlothian, Virginia, and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates of Quinton, Virginia, died at the scene. President Donald Trump condemned “in the strongest possible terms” what he called an “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides” after the clashes. He called for “a
swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives.” Trump said he had spoken with the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, and “we agreed that the hate and the division must stop and must stop right now.” But some of the white nationalists cited Trump’s victory as validation for their beliefs, and Trump’s critics pointed to the president’s racially tinged rhetoric as exploiting the nation’s festering racial tension. The Rev. Jesse Jackson noted that Trump for years publicly questioned President Barack Obama’s citizenship. “We are in a very dangerous place right now,” he said. Right-wing blogger Jason Kessler had called for what he termed a “prowhite” rally in Charlottesville, sparked by the monument decision. White nationalists and their opponents promoted the event for weeks. Oren Segal, who directs the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, said multiple white power groups gathered in Charlottesville, including members of neoNazi organizations, racist skinhead groups and Ku Klux Klan factions.

Zone Fitness offers new program BY KENDALL PATTERSON For the Daily Corinthian
Corinth and the surrounding area can now “PUSH” working out and getting in shape to a new level. Corinth’s Zone Fitness recently started a new exercise program called “PUSH” that changes the experience people have with working out. The new exercise is unique to all others in the case that it’s group personal training. “It’s truly personal,” said general manager Haley Curry. “It’s like you’re in competition with yourself and you’re just trying to beat your goal every week.” There is another factor that makes PUSH a unique regime. It is heartrate based. While people are participating in the workout class, they wear a heart rate monitor that will keep them in the right workout zones to maximize benefits both during and after workouts. If those in the program remain within the right heart rate zones, they will be able to burn calories for up to 36 hours after the workout is finished. “It’s very scientific,” said Rodney Coffman, a certified trainer at Zone Fitness. “Everybody says that anybody can do any workout, but now it’s really true with PUSH.” The technology within the PUSH program has the heart rate monitor track heart rates and inform the person on the TV monitors within the training room if they need to “PUSH” themselves harder or slow down. This will get the heart stronger in a few a weeks, said the trainer. “It’s a scientific approach to get in shape that’s basically foolproof,” said Coffman. PUSH isn’t limited to just cardio or any other

It switches between all different kinds of workouts from cardio to resistance training and more to keep people engaged. “You can’t get bored,” Curry said. Corinth’s Zone Fitness offering this program makes it unique from other fitness gyms. Not only does it have the PUSH program that is group training on a personal level, but it also offers workout machines, weights and other workout classes. Most gyms that do the PUSH program don’t provide other services, Coffman said. PUSH was brought to the public by the Orangetheory Fitness Franchise which did all the science and research behind the workout. In the past,
this workout was only done by Hollywood stars and professional athletes. Now it has been brought to everyone for $89 a month. Zone Fitness has a class for all — from the fitness beginners all the way up to the serious athlete. The group setting makes it a cool atmosphere, Coffman said. The fitness facility is currently offering a free
trial run. Classes are limited to 16 people. Reservations are recommended. “This is the best exercise I’ve seen in my 20 years of being a certified trainer,” said Coffman. “If you come in twice a week for an hour, you’re in the best shape of your life.” (For more information, contact Haley Curry at 662-286-0060.)

Nonagenarian is eager to share a long lifetime of experiences DEAR ABBY: I’m 91. I have outlived many of my longtime friends. In my address book I counted 22 pals whose names I have crossed out after they died. T h e s e were people we danced, dined and traveled with. Only five members of the old gang are left, but Abigail they’ve all Van Buren dispersed. Making new friends Dear Abby is difficult for people our age because we are not out and about as much. Lonely? Yes, a bit. At holidays, some family members are good at extending themselves toward this old geezer, which I appreciate. When they look up from their cellphones, they discover I have something to contribute. I experienced the Depression, a variety of wars and many new inventions. Abby, please remind your readers how much we appreciate those who engage us socially in some way. Many of us are past our warranty and won’t be available to answer questions much longer.
-- OLD GEEZER OUT WEST DEAR OLD GEEZER: I’m pleased to put the word out. Readers, our senior citizens have much wisdom to offer. They can also be great fun to be around. However, they are a diminishing resource. “Geezer” is right. They won’t be around forever, so engage with them while you can. For that matter, neither will some of you when you’re their age. Because isolation isn’t healthy for anyone, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
DEAR ABBY: How can I get my husband to stop checking out other women in front of me? I have repeatedly told him it makes me feel bad. If I can refrain from looking at other men while I’m in his company, why can’t he do the same for me? It makes me feel like I’m not good enough. -- SAD WIFE IN ARKANSAS DEAR WIFE: Please accept my sympathy. Since you have made clear to your husband that what he’s doing bothers you, perhaps it’s time to accept that you married a disrespectful, classless boor. While many men look at women other than their wives, most of them do it discreetly to avoid hurt feelings.
Because what he’s doing is disrespectful, try viewing it from a different perspective. It’s not that you’re not good enough for your husband, but rather that he’s not good enough for you. DEAR ABBY: I recently wore a pair of sunglasses to work for the first time and received a lot of compliments on my “style.” How can I get my co-workers to stop complimenting me? I have told them a number of times the glasses were prescribed by my doctor to protect my sensitive eyes, and I’m NOT trying to make a fashion statement. It makes me uncomfortable when they say the glasses look “cute” or “work well with my outfit.” How do I nicely get them to stop bringing attention to my medical issue? -- WORRIED IN WISCONSIN DEAR WORRIED: Your coworkers probably mean well, but tell them their comments embarrass you and you would prefer not to be constantly reminded about your eye sensitivity. Then ask them to please stop doing it, and I’m sure they will comply. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wake up with a vague idea about what you need to do with this day then slowly start to home in on the one thing that’s going to make a difference. The key to success: your ability to be objective. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s said that a man is only as honest as his opportunities. You’ll prove the saying wrong today as you do what’s right even though it would be very easy not to. A clear conscience is all you’ll gain, but that’s no small reward. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll find your happiness builds with small conveniences and pleasures that occur daily, none of which is so notable as the pleasure inside a certain person’s loving gaze. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It has been suggested by the ancients that man’s miseries come from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone. Well, you can and will do just that. You’ll discover truth and derive joy there. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
you love someone, you want to fill that person’s life with sweetness. You want to hear her say, “Wow!” or know that he’s thrilled. You want to hold on to the tender moments. How are you going to create the next one? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pleasure can serve as an anchor to the moment. It keeps you from skipping ahead in your mind and missing the good parts. Tune in to your senses. The pleasure is there. All you have to do is take it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You value love, loyalty, fidelity, beauty, truth and more. Courage is the foundation that allows these other values to come to life. Without courage, none of the others are possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are some things you simply cannot get ready for. There are too many possible variables. Since you don’t know what’s going to be asked of you or how you’re going to feel about it, the only way to get ready is to begin. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re good enough; you are enough; and you are deserving of a full happy life. Anyone who doesn’t seem to support these beliefs doesn’t belong in your day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Believing someone will change won’t make it so. If you’re going to invest in a belief, invest in the belief that acceptance heals. The only change you control is your own, and that’s found through acceptance, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may seem like the thing you most want is difficult to get any momentum toward achieving. As it is with anything stuck, you must figure out where it’s caught and do whatever you can to leverage, grease or force it free. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re improving. It takes a while for your efforts to become results that everyone can see, but people will start to notice. Each compliment will fan the flames, inspiring you to reach your ultimate goal.

Michael Baugus (in white) instructs some young up-and-coming players at the Mini-Warriors football camp during the summer break. Helping others in some way is a huge part of his life.
Corinth kicker playing for a special cause this season BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth High School has a long, rich tradition with punters and place kickers, and the Warriors are still in excellent hands with specialist Michael Baugus entering his senior year with the Tribe. “Having a young man like Michael means more than anyone will ever know,” said head coach Todd Lowery. “It’s gonna mean more this year than anything because of his ability to not only change the field, but he’s pretty solid from 50 yards in if it comes down to a possible game-winning field goal. “We’re playing a few teams this season that have pretty good defenses and the field position battle will be extremely important,” Lowery continued. “Having Michael on our team can make a real difference. He can put us in a position to win with a booming punt or lastsecond field goal.” Baugus is indeed a superior weapon for CHS, and his goal is to be not only the best kicker in the division, but in the entire state. Before delving further into Michael Baugus the kicker it would be wise to consider Michael Baugus the person. He has initiated a fund-rais-
er for this football season that will raise money for cancer research. Baugus is “kicking for cancer” this season in an effort to raise funds and awareness for the fight against childhood cancer. He is being recognized as a Kick-It Champion, a national charitable athletic campaign to raise money for much-needed childhood cancer research. Kick-It has partnered with an organization called Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) in 2017 to further the vision of a 10-year-old boy with cancer who wanted to help other kids like himself. This partnership emerged from their similar beginnings as both charities were founded by children battling cancer. You can learn more about this foundation by visiting AlexsLemonade.org. As for his part, Baugus will accept donations and pledges for each field kick and punt he makes during the upcoming season. All donations recieved will benefit childhood cancer research through Kick-It Champions. Baugus has set a goal of raising $1,000 — which will fund two days of childhood cancer research — before the season ends.
Michael Baugus sets to kick off in game action from the 2016 season. Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under 15 in the United States. Despite these facts, childhood cancer research is vastly and consistently underfunded. Because of this, young men like Baugus are making a difference by dedicating their talents to helping kids fight cancer. “This whole thing is about kids and cancer research,”
Baugus said. “I feel like we need to do all we can to help.” “You see more and more athletes on the college and pro levels beginning to bring awareness to worthy causes like cancer research but to see it in a high school kid is just really special,” said Lowery. “He cares more about others than he does himself.” Baugus has found most of his Please see CAUSE | 12A
How to control those pesky fire ants Fire ant mounds are eye sores. However, looking at one isn’t nearly as painful as stepping in one. Fire ants, with their copperbrown head and body with a darker abdomen, came into Mobile, Alabama, on a South American cargo ship in the early 1900s. They are now all across the southern part of the United States and have even moved into parts of California. A typical fire ant colony has large mounds in open areas and feeds mostly on young plants and seeds. They often attack small animals, including pets and livestock, and can kill them. Moisture is essential to fire ant survival. Fire ants often nest near river banks, pond edges, watered lawns and highway edges. When the weather is hot and dry, they burrow deep into the soil to find moisture and cooler temperatures. When

it’s cold, they burrow down to stay warm. But in warm, damp weather (spring or fall), fire ants are most likely to be active, foraging near the soil surface and building mounds. Mounds can be up to 18 inches high. The nests can also be formed in rotting logs, around stumps and trees and in or under buildings. The ants guard the nests and fiercely attack intruders. Even the lightest touch brings them out in a fury. If you have a lot of ground to cover, control can be time‑consuming and expensive. Fire ant baits are a good, cost‑effective method of con-
trol if you have few mounds. Baits are not to be confused with granular forms of insecticides. They work much slower than granules. Bait is carried back to the colony and fed to other ants, including the queen and it affects her reproductive ability. Eventually the colony dies because no new ants are born to replenish the population. Baits don’t last a long time so it is best if the ants feed on them within a day. Late spring, or immediately after a rain, works best for bait. If the infestation is larger, broadcast the bait and time the application for when the ants are out foraging for food. Try to avoid disturbing the mounds because the ants will flee back to protect the queen and they will usually move the colony rather than carry the bait back to the nest. One common remedy used to get rid of mounds is a pot
of boiling water. It is most effective when used right after a rainfall. At that time, a lot of the ants are near the surface and vulnerable to the scalding water. However, there are a couple of drawbacks to this method. Unless you kill the queen, the ants will just move to another part of your yard and construct another mound. Secondly, you may end up with a big brown spot on your lawn because the boiling water could kill the grass. Be very careful if you decide to use this method. James L. Cummins is executive director of Wildlife Mississippi, a non-profit, conservation organization founded to conserve, restore and enhance fish, wildlife and plant resources throughout Mississippi.

Alcorn Central falls in ‘Set It Off’ finals BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
Saturday was filled with softball and volleyball action as multiple area teams were in action on the court and on the diamonds.
HS Volleyball Alcorn Central and Corinth participated in the Set It Off Classic volleyball tournament in Jackson on Friday and Sat-
urday, but a potential quick second matchup between the two local squads fell one match short. The Lady Bears, after winning their two Friday matches, advanced to the tournament finals before losing their first match of the season. The Lady Warriors also won a pair of matches on Friday before losing in the semis on Saturday to the eventual tour-
nament champion. Here’s how the action went down. Alcorn Central began Saturday by rallying to defeat Cleveland Central 2-1 with game scores of 19-25, 25-14 and 15-9. They followed that with a 2-0 sweep of Warren Central by scores of 25-19 and 25-18. Their win over the Lady Vikings allowed AC to punch its ticket to the tournament
championship match where it awaited the winner of Corinth/ Caledonia. The Lady Warriors breezed through their first match Saturday by disposing of Grace Christian in straight sets (2513, 25-15). But CHS ran into a powerful Lady Confederate team and were swept 2-0 by scores of 14-25 and 19-25. Please see FINALS | 11A

completely opposite results. The Lady Warriors started a perfect 2-0 with wins over North and South Pontotoc. Coach Maggie Vonderstein’s club took care of South Pontotoc first winning 6-1 before shutting out North Pontotoc 5-0 in Game 2. The Lady Blue Devils didn’t fare as they were swept in two extremely tight games by Pine Grove (7-5) and the host Lady Urchins (5-4). Tishomingo County hosted New Site and Mantachie in its own tournament at TCHS Field and won its first two games of the season. The Lady Braves began the day with a come-frombehind 6-5 win over the Lady Royals before being forced to rally once more to narrowly top Mantachie 6-5. “I was proud of the way we battled back in both games,” said TC head coach Jerry Long. “We dug ourselves a couple of holes, but we hung in there and did what we had to do to come back and win.” Kossuth traveled to the Saltillo Tournament and handed the host team a 5-4 loss. With the game tied at 4-all heading into the ninth, Lexi Fiveash beat out an infield hit and drove in pinch-runner Emily Bradley, who was running for Arlie Ozbirn, for the game-winning run in the top of the ninth. Avery Mullins held the Lady Tigers scoreless in the bottom half of the inning to secure the win.
Alcorn Central was watching as Corinth and Caledonia played, anticipating a possible turnaround match. The two squads just battled each other at Warrior gym Thursday night with the Lady Bears winning 3-2. But the rematch wasn’t in the cards in Jackson. In the title match, the Lady Confederates took care of AC 2-0 (21-25, 1925), handing coach Eric Lancaster’s team its first loss of the season after an 8-0 start. Central had swept Caledonia 2-0 in a tight match late Friday night that didn’t end until 10:30 pm. “As far as I’m concerned, I thought our girls played their hearts out and gave it everything they had down here,” Lancaster said. “When we got down, they never dropped their heads. They fought hard and played together. Nobody likes to lose, and I’m disappointed we lost, but I’m very proud of the way we played and left it all on the floor.” Corinth head coach Kelly Wright said: “We played pretty well. Caledonia has a solid and experienced team and that experience won out today. “Our young team is coming together and learning. I was proud of the effort this weekend and making it to the semi’s is nothing to hang our heads about,” continued Wright. “We look forward to playing Pontotoc next week and we accept the challenge.” We’ll have complete stats for both Corinth and n n n Alcorn Central in TuesCheck the local schedday’s paper. ule on the main sports page daily for games and HS Softball locations as the sports Corinth and Booneville calendar kicks into fullbegan their 2017 slow- overdrive this week with pitch softball seasons high school football gets playing in the East Union underway with a full slate Classic on Saturday with of games.

Fans pack the Manning Center on Saturday for Meet the Rebels Day. Members of the football team sign autographs for droves of fans.
Saturday’s Meet the Rebels is a success Ole Miss Sports Information
OXFORD — Fans flooded into the Manning Center on Saturday for Meet the Rebels Day, a chance for to interact with the Ole Miss football, soccer, volleyball and rifle teams as well as the spirit squads. A long, winding line of Rebel fans waited to get an autograph from new head coach Matt Luke and offer their support. Luke greeted many members of Rebel Nation and posed for photos. “These fans that show up are true Ole Miss Rebel
fans,” Luke said. “I am just excited to be their head coach and want to put a product on the field that they are proud of.” Luke remembers coming to Meet the Rebels as a kid growing up, and now is at the center of it as head coach. “I came to a bunch of these when my brother played,” Luke said. “I told our players before we came out here the kids that show up look up to you. You are their hero. We want to make sure we represent Ole Miss the right way.”
Fans from all ages came to meet the student-athletes they cheer for on the field, like Brandon resident Keith King who brought his 4-year-old grandson, Sam, to his first ever Meet the Rebels. “I’ve enjoyed this one even more,” King said. “I think that’s because he is here with me. I also felt like I needed to come up here and let the teams know we are still supporting you. We are still here.” Sam grinned clutching a poster littered with autographs and said his favor-
ite part was getting a picture with the cheerleaders. “The fans are the reason we are here,” Luke said. “They come and support us. They are the reason we have jobs, and we just want to represent them.” Luke and the Rebel football team kick off their 2017 campaign Sept. 2 against South Alabama at 6:30 p.m. Soccer begins its season Aug. 18 against Alabama State at 7 p.m., while the volleyball squad opens the year Aug. 25 against Louisiana Tech.

donors so far through word of mouth and social media. He will accept as many as want to help. As for Baugus the student/athlete, Lowery solidly believes he has not only one of the best kicking specialists in the state, but also one of the best students as well. “Michael’s work ethic is second to none,” said the Warriors coach. “He is always the first one on the field getting warmed up and the last one off the field as he will try to get a few extra kicks in before he leaves. “And he’s such a smart kid and really cares about his school work. He takes advanced classes and does well.” Although the Corinth senior is well-known and respected around the high school circuit for his punting and kicking abilities, Baugus didn’t start his ca-
reer as a football player. “I actually started off in soccer,” he said. “Soccer helped me to develop the skills I have now and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. A lot of soccer players have made the switch over to football and especially punting and kicking.” Baugus is still a slim 6’1, 160-pounder but has a booming leg that is not only strong but just as accurate. “He has a good 50- to 60-yard range on his punts, and I feel comfortable if we get to the 35-yard line putting Michael in to win the game for us,” Lowery said. Baugus experienced a growth spurt after his freshman season at CHS, sprouting from 5’5 to his present height. Shorter kickers are not unheard of, but it’s definitely an advantage to have some height and size to be a good kicker. And, he mentioned, a good reason why soccer players switch over
to football more these days. “It’s easier to earn a scholarship,” he said. Baugus had an inauspicious start to his kicking career as a younger man in a hotel lobby in Nashville. “We were staying in the Embassy Suites, and I was kicking a plastic Coke bottle across the lobby when it knocked over a lady’s drink,” he stated. “She didn’t get mad, but she turned around and looked at me and told me that maybe one day I’d be kicking at Ole Miss.” Baugus’ personal goals for this season are not only lofty but also attainable. “Of course, I wanna make all-division,” he said, “but I would also like to be the best in the state of Mississippi. I have the body of a punter, and I have real good leg swing, and I usually find a solid rhythm. I have worked with some really good former college kickers and attended some elite
camps to improve my skills the best I can.” Michael’s dad, Mike Baugus, said his son has worked really close with former Mississippi State kicker Devon Bell and former Southern Miss kicker Corey Acosta is his punting coach. Baugus attended several D1 camps this past summer and has talked so far to schools like Austin Peay, UT Martin, 1-AA powerhouse Jacksonville State, UT Chattanooga, Arkansas State and, most recently, Southern Miss. But the Corinth kicker does have a preference. “I’d like to have the opportunity to walk-on at Ole Miss,” Michael said. Baugus hopes to combine his efforts to raise money for childhood cancer research with helping the Warriors return to the playoffs this season. With the combination of a solid supporting cast in
Michael Baugus readies for a field goal attempt as holder Jon D Warren awaits the snap in game action from last season. his mom and dad, the support of his teammates and coaches at Corinth High School, his work ethic and scholastic abilities along
with his natural and developed skills, the future looks bright for Baugus and kicking at the next level is a distinct possibility.
