Park service calling for volunteers BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center is looking for a few good VIPs. The local National Park Service unit of the Shiloh National Military Park wants volunteers to help play the vital stewardship role at the Linden Street park. VIPs or Volunteers-In-Parks will assist in the preservation and interpretation of the diverse history and natural resources stewarded at the center. “We have three particular positions available at the mo-

“We have three particular positions available at the moment and others that could become available. People who have a interest in one these roles should apply for the opportunity to help their park.” Ashley Berry Supervisory park ranger ment and others that could become available,” said Ashley Berry, supervisory park ranger at the Corinth center. “People who have a interest in one these roles should apply for the opportunity to help their

park.” Book store volunteer, maintenance volunteer and visitor center assistant positions are currently available. Berry said more positions could be added as work becomes available.

Alcorn School District students are now offered 13 career pathway choices at the Alcorn Career Technology Center. Having so many options – one of the most at a vocational school in the state – is what helps get some kids in school and on the right path for a successful future, according to ACTC Director Rodney Hopper. “We are giving our students more opportunities than any other district in the state,” said Hopper. “Most districts only offer four or five pathways, but we are able to offer 13 fresh and interesting career pathway options.” Programs offered at ACTC for Alcorn Central, Biggersville and Kossuth high school students include Agriculture and Natural Resources, Agriculture Power and Machinery, Automotive Service Technology, Business Fundamentals & Marketing and Economics, Construction, Career Pathway Experience (CPE), Health Sci-

Young girl’s legacy lives on through 5K BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Annalisa Laudadio cared about people and was wellknown as a person who encouraged those who would blend into the background and she had big plans to help children through mission work. Thanks to those who are honoring her memory, even after her untimely death last year at the age of 15, her legacy will continue to help other kids. The First Annual Annalisa Laudadio Love & Encouragement 5K Run/ Walk will be held Saturday, Sept. 9, beginning at 8:30

It’s three weeks into the new school year and enrollment numbers are up. Alcorn School District Superintendent of Education Larry B. Mitchell reported early attendance of 3,287 students in Alcorn County schools. The number is about 33 more than last year. “We believe the difference in the number may be a result of our two additional pre-k classrooms just added to the district,” said Mitchell. “We feel like our enrollment should level off now and we should stay around this number for the next few years.” Mitchell also reported 12 children remain on waiting list for pre-k at Alcorn Central Elementary School. The enrollment results were presented at a recent Board of Education meeting where the 2017-18 school year combined budget was approved. The district’s operational millage rate will remain 49.76

People of the Crossroads Josh Fortenberry, Kossuth Law enforcement is in Josh Fortenberry’s bloodline. “It’s in my blood,” said the 36-year-old Deputy Chief with the Corinth Police Department. “I was born to do it.” Both Fortenberry’s father and a late aunt were law enforcement officers, so the 1999 Clarksdale High School graduate went to Delta State University to major in criminal justice. He got his B.S. degree from DSU in 2003. His law enforcement career in Corinth began in 2005 as a patrolman. He would become a field training officer and detective before taking a job with the Desoto County Sheriff’s Department. Fortenberry returned to Corinth a little over a year ago to become deputy chief. He is a newlywed, having married Crystal six months ago. He is a weightlifter and loves fitness, running 5Ks with his wife and woodworking.

to work toward graduating,” said Hopper. “It also gives them the opportunity to look down the road at a interest in something different or something that can become a career.” Some programs even allow students to receive academic credit toward graduation and get dual credit towards like programs at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Five programs offer

students opportunities to receive national certification, and just last year Alcorn School District career tech students received $25,000 in scholarship funds from student organizations associated with programs. “We want students to have multiple skills and be adapted to the demands of the changing workforce when they graduate,” added the director. “Statewide the graduation rate for kids who take career tech

is higher by eight percent.” Enrollment is also up at the career center even after losing Corinth School District students after the city created CTech, their own vocational program, last fall. “The withdrawal of Corinth students didn’t hurt us much as we continue to see an increase in enrollment each year,” said Hopper. ACTC enrollment for the 2017 school year is 439 students, up 43 students from 2016.

Confederate emblem a ‘symbol of racial terror,’ historians say BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — Historians in Mississippi say the Confederate battle emblem is a “symbol of racial terror” that needs to be stripped from the state flag. Thirty-four professors released a statement this week saying they expect questions from students about the recent white nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, where some participants carried the rebel flag. Mississippi has the last state flag with the Confederate symbol, a red field topped by a blue tilted cross dotted by 13 white stars. The professors from

public and private universities wrote that Mississippi legislators adopted the flag in 1894 to assert white supremacy. “The threat of racist mob violence has been present throughout American history, and, as seen by the flag-wielding neo-Nazis and racist sympathizers in Charlottesville, the use of Confederate emblems echoes the racist reasoning of whites in Mississippi at the end of the 19th Century, who used terror to impose minority rule,” they wrote. Voters decided to keep the flag in a 2001 referendum. Confederate symbols have come under increasing scrutiny since 2015, when an avowed

white supremacist who had posed for photos holding the battle flag killed nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Some Mississippi elected officials, including the Republican speaker of the state House and both of the state’s Republican U.S. senators, have said the state should ditch the current flag and adopt a design that would unify the state, whose population is 38 percent black. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said if the design is reconsidered, it should happen in another statewide election. Supporters of the flag say it represents the state’s history.

5K speaking ... she was an avid seamstress. She was very involved in the program. She was also in the youth leadership positions — ambassador and council and that kind of thing,” said Laudadio. Annalisa was the fourth of five children in the Laudadio family. At the age of 12, she had already struggled with a time of conviction with the Lord, her mother said. She had learned about child enslavement and forced child labor in areas of Africa during a world geography course. Her struggle included a time of prayer. This prayer always took place at the top of the family’s driveway, where they had planted a rosebush in memory of a family friend who had died in her 50s. Her mother said Annalisa made the decision at the age of 13 and surrendered to be a missionary in Africa, but she was very private about it. Being a young teenager, she wanted to make sure this was what she really wanted to do and she was also self-conscious — not wanting anyone to think she was making this decision to gain attention. She continued her trips to the rosebush until she was 15. “For whatever reason, that’s where she would

always go. As time went on, she developed a pattern. Every morning and every night, she would go to that rosebush and have her personal prayer time. Sometimes it was 15 minutes and sometimes it was a half an hour ... but, everyone in the house know that if she was up there, they left her alone. That was her time,” said Laudadio. Annalisa made an important decision right before her death. Her mother said on the evening of April 19, 2016, they were getting ready. They were starting a missions conference at church and Annalisa had finally come to the point that she was going to publicly let everybody know she had felt the calling to surrender to the mission field. She had applied to go on a foreign missions trip earlier in the year and it was going to be working primarily with children. “The last thing she did before she went up for prayer was to sign her letters requesting prayers and support for that mission,” said Laudadio. Annalisa’s mother said her daughter went up to the top of the driveway to pray and time went on, but they didn’t think anything was amiss because of her regular routine. It was her brother,

before the 5K Run/Walk, or for those who would rather support by eating rather than running or walking, there will be a spaghetti dinner hosted by the Alcorn County 4-H Volunteer Leaders. The Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser will be held Friday, Sept. 8, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the MSU Extension - Alcorn County Exhibit Hall. Tickets are $6 per ticket for a meal which includes spaghetti, slaw, garlic bread, dessert and tea or water. Meals are available for dine-in or carry-out. All proceeds from these fundraisers go to benefit the Annalisa Laudadio Love & Encouragement 4-H Scholarship Fund. Annalisa was the daughter of Paolo and Linda Laudadio of Tippah County. She was an active member of the Alcorn County 4-H for 10 of her 15 years. Her mother, Linda Laudadio, said she was heavily involved in 4-H. “AnnaLisa was a very active 4-H’er in Alcorn County. Out of everything the county offers, I think the only thing she didn’t do at least once was to show livestock. She did livestock judging, she did shooting sports, public

Daniel (who was 13 at the time), who she said was “unsettled” about it. He felt it had taken too long. He went to check on her and found her unresponsive. He went back to the house and Laudadio called 911, while Annalisa’s father performed CPR. She had passed away from sudden cardiac arrest. Laudadio said Annalisa’s death was “instantaneous.” It was the incredible support of the community that pulled the family through the ordeal. Lisha Hopper, one of the organizers of the 5K in Annalisa’s honor, said, “She was a great kid, and she had always to do a run as part of the ambassador’s group. She was on the county’s junior council here and that was one of the goals they had discussed. She had always wanted to sponsor a 5K run and this helps continue her legacy.” Laudadio said they named the scholarship and the race the Love & Encouragement because Annalisa wanted more than anything for people to feel love and encouragement. “She had a real love for people and she was an encourager. She really had a heart for the overlooked and to make them feel like

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlight in History On August 23, 1927, amid worldwide protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery.

On this date In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World War I. In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a nonaggression treaty, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in Moscow. In 1947, an audience at the Hollywood Bowl heard President Harry S. Trumanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Margaret, give her first public concert as a singer (she had previously peformed on the radio). In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, 65, died in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. In 1973, a bank robbery-turned-hostagetaking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stockholm Syndrome.â&#x20AC;? In 1982, Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president. (However, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.)

Blaze destroysÂ barn, family possessions TISHOMINGO COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A storage barn in Midway of Tishomingo County was recently destroyed by fire. Officials are unsure how the Aug. 15 blaze started at the barn owned by Douglas Estes Sr. The barn was storage for family possessions including two vehicles Estes had restored â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 1948 Dodge and a 1964 Ford Mustang. Originally from Greenville, Estes had moved to the area to retire with his wife and son. No one was injured. Â

Nearly 100 affordable homes planned OXFORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A combination of nearly 100 â&#x20AC;&#x153;lease to ownâ&#x20AC;? townhomes, duplexes, and single-family detached homes has been planned to help house a Mississippi cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area workforce. Oxford Eagle reported on Monday a public-private partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent $15 million awarding in competitive funding is the result of efforts over the years by Oxford and Lafayette County officials to address the difficulty of creating affordable housing with disproportionately high land prices. A proposal by private housing advocacy nonprofit LOU-Home, Inc. overcame funding gaps using traditional bank lending with federal housing tax credits. Under the current proposal all units would be reserved for people who earn 60 percent or less of median income in the area.

According to a 2014 U.S. Census Bureau report, the median income for a household in Lafayette County is $41,343. Â

Tupelo

Major thoroughfare proposals heard TUPELO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Major Thoroughfare Program proposal to widen part of West Jackson Street and construct turn lanes will exceed initial cost estimates, but the project remains a major priority for City Hall, reported the Daily Journal. The scope of the project, which is likely still a year or more off, includes the addition of a turn lane on West Jackson Street between the intersection of Clayton Street to the west and Robins Street and Highland Circle to the east, as well as the construction of a sidewalk, likely on only one side of the road. The total project costs are currently estimated at between $3 million and $3.5 million, said Tupeloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city engineer John Crawley. That price tag includes an estimated $1 million to $1.5 million to relocate utility lines underground, Crawley said. Those numbers are significantly higher than a cost estimate of $540,000 which had been prepared last year as the sixth phase of the Major Thoroughfare Program began to ramp up. Â

Tupelo

Lee County man pleads to child porn charges TUPELO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Lee County man will spend the next quarter-century behind bars after admitting to distributing child pornography, reported the Daily Journal. John Harley Tallant, 40,

pleaded guilty Friday to three counts of the distribution of child pornography. Senior Circuit Judge Thomas Gardner sentenced Tallant to serve 24 years and 11 months in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Due to the nature of the crime, Tallant must serve the sentence day for day. Upon his release, he will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Tallant was arrested in early March and initially charged with one count of sexual battery and three counts of fondling after an investigation showed he was physically involved with his 4-year-old daughter. At the time, the sheriff said the abuse was suspected to have taken place over a two-year period. During his initial court appearance in Lee County Justice Court on March 2, Tallant admitted he had done wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I accept my guilt and plan on fully cooperating with the investigation to keep any more harm from happening,â&#x20AC;? Tallant said. Â

Oxford

Man pleads guilty to involvement in scam ring OXFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Miami, Florida, man has pleaded guilty to bilking people out of money through his involvement in an IRS scam, reported the Daily Journal. Joel Pando, 42, entered the guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Oxford. The indictment says he worked with other people to try and scam people out of money claiming to be with the Internal Revenue Service and loan companies. Pando will be sentenced at a later date.

Corinth, Miss.

“The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” -Friedrich Hegel We will learn even less from history if we wipe it clean, as some are trying to do by removing statues of Confederate leaders whose beliefs about slavery and race most, including me, find offensive. Conversation beats

censorship. Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been in relative obscurity since the loss of his MSNBC program, vaulted back into this three-ring political circus recently when he suggested to Charlie Rose that federal subsidies for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial should end, because Jefferson owned slaves. People like Sharpton fan the flames they claim need extinguishing. Some even start the fires, like those characters from a bad B-movie who confronted each other in Charlottesville, Virginia, causing death and destruction, not only to individuals and property, but to the links that have traditionally held us together as a nation, in spite of our differences. As usual, the media have contributed to the cultural fracturing by elevating tiny groups of bigots and leftists to center stage. Drivers slow down and pay attention to car wrecks and cultural collisions. Part of this chaos comes from government’s inability, or unwillingness, to solve, or even address, major challenges. We aren’t winning wars in Afghanistan, or against ISIS, which has taken credit for the vehicle attack in Barcelona that killed 14 people and wounded scores more. We aren’t winning battles over health care, or taxes, or much else in Washington, where gridlocked rush-hour traffic could serve as a metaphor for a gridlocked Congress. President Trump promised during the campaign he would win so much the rest of us would grow tired of winning. We have yet to reach anything approaching exhaustion. There is an effort by some on the left, not just to rewrite history, which would be bad enough, but to expunge it, as happens in totalitarian states. George Orwell foresaw the danger in such an approach when he created the “memory hole” in his classic novel, “1984.” For those who never read the book, the memory hole was for destroying all historical documents that could remind, or inform, citizens of the way things were in a time before they were born. History would then be rewritten to match the evolving propaganda of the state. An agency with the euphemistic name “The Ministry of Truth” handled such things. A similar effort to delete history was the Nazis’ public book burning in Berlin in 1933. The focus on statues by people whose education level likely wouldn’t pass the “Jeopardy” test is a distraction designed to keep our minds on things other than solving real problems and to pit us against each other for the cultural, political and fundraising benefit and goals of various groups on the left and right. I like what former NBA star and current sports commentator Charles Barkley said about the removal of Confederate statues: “I’m not going to waste my time worrying about these Confederate statues -- that’s wasted energy. You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna keep doing great things. I’m gonna keep trying to make a difference -- number one, in the black community because I’m black -- but I’m also going to try to do good things in the world.” Barkley has the right attitude and if more of us followed his example we might actually achieve something of value for ourselves and the nation. Future generations would then find a history worth studying and emulating.

Prayer for today Lord God, I thank thee for the delight of congenial companions and the memory of friendship. May I not be quick to lose my friends through misunderstanding and selfishness. May I be considerate and constant and be able to climb to the highest steeps of friendship. Amen.

A verse to share When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” —John 8:12

Senate election may double as flag referendum OXFORD — Next year’s U.S. Senate election in Mississippi may double as a referendum on the state flag. Incumbent Sen. Roger Wicker and looming challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel have taken opposite positions and both know the flag is red meat. It may arouse a go-tothe-polls passion among the public which, despite constant pandering by cable news, is overwhelmingly apathetic when it comes to actual voting. After the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last week, Wicker calmly said it was clearly in Mississippi’s best interest to remove the Confederate battle flag from the official state banner. “It would be more unifying if we put this Mississippi flag in a museum and replaced it with something that was more unifying,” said Wicker, a Republican from Pontotoc who moved from the U.S. House to the Senate in December 2007 after the resignation of former Sen. Trent Lott. His only equivocation was that it was a shame the KKK and other groups had coopted the Stars and Bars. His likely rival, McDaniel, Republican from Ellisville, went on the attack to exaggerate and mischaracterize what Wicker said. “Roger Wicker is using the tragedy in Charlottesville to AGAIN (his emphasis) stand with

liberals and call for the removal of our state flag,” McD a n i e l wrote, tossCharlie ing in “UnMitchell believeable” at the end. Columnist Wicker’s observation was tepid, yet McDaniel depicted him as toting water for the banshees of the left. This characterization, of course, illustrates the gaping gulf among Mississippians who identify both as conservative and Republican. McDaniel is long-associated with crusades to preserve “our Southern ways.” Wicker is a board room conservative, not given to being shrill or making appeals to emotion. For many months, emails have been sent out from “Senator McDaniel” asking for donations to support an unspecified election bid. He never says he intends to run against Wicker. In fact, he affirmatively says he hasn’t decided on a run for national office. But really. How many state senators send campaign solicitations statewide or perhaps even wider? Another indicator of intent is that the emails don’t mention state issues. They just position him as a serious opponent of all liberals, identifying most his fellow Republicans by that label.

McDaniel has already influenced Wicker. Any observer will tell you the incumbent has moved cautiously to the right, offering mild but reliable support to President Trump on a variety of matters, including the repeal of Obamacare. For decades, indeed for most of the last 100 years, Mississippi has sent real, sure-enough gentlemen to the represent the state. John Stennis and James Eastland were senators for a combined 77 years. Both were courtly and soft-spoken (usually) in keeping with the tenor of the assembly. Thad Cochran, when he went to the Senate in 1978, was the first Republican senator from Mississippi for more than a century. For his entire career, Cochran has been a friend to all. He has avoided histrionics, bloviating and making personal enemies of those with whom he has ideological difference. Lott was a bit edgier, but had many true friends across the aisle. The ship of civility has sailed. McDaniel got a taste of what works in today’s voter climate when he forced Cochran into a runoff in the 2015 Republican primary, then lost in the runoff. His messages typify those common to button-pushers. The national debt is horrific. But he’s short on explaining how a balance would be achieved. “Unelected federal

judges rewriting laws for our entire republic,” was a complaint in an email from chris@mcdanielformississippi. It was an oblique reference to gay marriage. But again, it begs the question of what the U.S. Senate could do once the Supreme Court finds a provision unconstitutional. Answer: Nothing. The email says “establishment Republicans are doing everything they can to sabotage Donald Trump.” Responding to Charlottesville and a request from the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus for a special session to replace the flag, The (Jackson) Clarion-Ledger polled a bevy of state and federal officials on their stance. Most kicked the can down the road, talking about process and such. Pro-business Gov. Phil Bryant continued opposing business interests that have, like Wicker, long seen that the current flag is an economic albatross. Differences of opinion have peaked and ebbed since the Legislature (not the voters) adopted the current design in 1894. Confrontations like those in Charlottesville will continue to bring the matter to the fore. If it is hoisted to the front and center in the 2018 Senate election, either logic or emotion will carry the day. Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Yes, work for President Trump Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin took the highly unusual step over the weekend of publicly explaining why he won’t resign. He responded to Yale classmates who had written an impassioned open letter urging him to quit in protest over what they called (ridiculously overstating their case) President Donald Trump’s “support of Nazism and white supremacy.” There was no reason for Mnuchin to bother replying unless he feels a little defensive. After Charlottesville, the question of the propriety of serving in the Trump administration gained new salience. Rumors swirled that economic adviser Gary Cohn was on the verge of quitting in disgust, and liberal journalists called for all good men and women to jump ship. This is wrongheaded. It’s much better for the country that as many responsible, talented people serve the Trump administration as possible. Even if it isn’t easy. Working for Trump means being willing to put up with the possibility of humiliation

of the sort that loyalist Attorney General Jeff Sessions suffered at the presiRich d e n t ’ s Lowry h a n d s . It means National d a n cing Review around his outrageous statements and pretending to work for a more normal president. And it means courting social disapproval. Among the nation’s elite, Trump is now a walking, talking version of the North Carolina transgender bathroom bill, which caused corporate America to boycott and shame the state into submission. CEOs increasingly don’t want anything to do with Trump. Hollywood and representatives of the arts loathe him. Sports figures are leery. Trump is as personally radioactive as any president since Richard Nixon during his descent. This can’t be what a highflying financier and movie producer like Steve Mnuchin signed up for. But any Trump official who doesn’t think he

is being forced to violate his personal conscience should stick it out. The presidency is an important institution, and whatever fantasies his enemies may have of a rapid ending to his tenure, Trump is president. He needs good advice and competent help. There are obviously limits to how much he can be controlled, but he is susceptible to advice. It’s no accident that Trump hasn’t withdrawn from NAFTA, pursued a trade war with China or kneecapped NATO. No one is irreplaceable, but it’s not as though Trump’s team is likelier to get stronger. Able people have been turning down job offers, warned off by the president’s volatility. The pool of talent available to Trump was never as large as that of a conventional president, and it has shrunk. Surely, many of those around Trump enjoy the thrill of notoriety and proximity to power, as is true in any White House, but a sense of duty weighs as well. “There are people inside the administration,” Anthony Scaramucci said during his

turn as White House communications director, “that think it is their job to save America from this president.” This puts it starkly -especially when it comes to the generals. The portfolios of Secretary of Defense James Mattis and national security adviser H.R. McMaster include the most consequential matters of state, and John Kelly is now running the White House as chief of staff. The administration’s credibility depends in large part on the service of these men. It’s comparable to the moral power that David Petraeus assumed in 2007 when George W. Bush subcontracted making the public case for the Iraq War to him. If any of the generals, particularly John Kelly, were to quit and lambaste Trump on the way out the door, it might have a debilitating effect on his presidency. That sounds alluring to Trump’s critics. But crippled presidencies aren’t good for the country, and Trump was duly elected. So the generals are right to stay and serve their country in this capacity. Someone has to do it.

Selmer fire chief denies any wrongdoing SELMER, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Selmer Fire Chief denies any misconduct for allegedly falsifying invoices and altering bids, according to the Independent Appeal. Anthony Carr was temporarily removed from his position by the Town

of Selmer on Aug. 15 a day before the Tennessee Comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office revealed several issues of impropriety connected to the fire chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Carr adamantly denies any wrongdoing,â&#x20AC;? said Selmer attorney D.J. Norton in a release.

Norton has been retained to represent the fire chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the near future, Mr. Carr will present evidence that will prove that he has not committed any wrongdoing,â&#x20AC;? added Norton. The Town of Selmer

took action against Carr as a result from a report received from the Comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. The temporary dismissal will remain in effect until this action by the mayor is confirmed or rejected by the board of aldermen.

Confirmation or rejection of the matter will occur no later than the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Selmer Mayor and Board of Aldermen on Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Carr and I will appear before the board

of aldermen to present his evidence and ask that he be reinstated as fire chief,â&#x20AC;? said Norton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only one side of the story has been heard and Mr. Carr is very confident that once his evidence is heard, his name will be cleared.â&#x20AC;?

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Netflix loves to pick hits for moving wall returns to area each subscriber â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but how? For the Daily Corinthian

SAVANNAH, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;In honor of the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States who served in the Vietnam War.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Inscription on The Wall and The Moving Wall The moving wall, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be in Savannah from Sept. 7-11. The wall will be set up inside the Tennessee Street Park grounds located in the historic district of Savannah. This honored visit is sponsored by the Col. Joseph Hardin Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. DAR committee chairman Faye Lindberg said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are honored that The Moving Wall will visit our community and appreciate the generous efforts of all of the sponsors in bringing this very special experience to Savannah and Hardin County. The memorial helps to bring healing to veterans and families and friends of those who died or are missing in Vietnam, especially those who may not have the opportunity to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The moving wall allows people to experience the memorial, to reach out and touch the name of someone they lost,â&#x20AC;? shared Lindberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visiting the wall is a very emotional experience, even for people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally know someone who died in Vietnam. The Vietnam War touched us all in some way, and The Moving Wall gives us a chance to say thank you to those who gave their lives to that war effort.â&#x20AC;? In 1982 John Devitt, a former helicopter door gunner and Army veteran, visited Washington, D.C., for the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to participate in the National Salute to Vietnam Veterans. This visit and experience

changed Devittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and led to the creation of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Wall,â&#x20AC;? which has since moved millions of people. It has been to Corinth and drew large crowds. Devitt, chairman/ founder of The Moving Wall and the Vietnam Combat Veterans Ltd., wanted to capture the spirit he felt at the Washington, D.C., memorial and share it with people who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel there to see the monument. In 1983, he and some friends spent 22 months and about $28,000 in donations to build his original Plexiglas replica of the memorial. The replica wall is half the size of the Washington, D.C., Vietnam Veterans Memorial and measures 253 feet in length. The replica is now constructed of aluminum with 58,272 names of the American dead (including 1,200 MIAs, POWs, and others) in Vietnam silk-screened upon black panels. The replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial cost approximately $60,000, and all money to create the memorial was donated. Those who come to The Moving Wall while it is in Savannah can look for family membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names. Trained volunteers will be on the site to help people identify the location of the names they seek.

The Moving Wall will be open to the public, 24 hours a day, from setup at noon on Sept. 7 until 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11. There is no admission fee charged to visit the moving wall. The main park entrance will remain open each day after normal park hours. Volunteer security staff will be on site each night. DAR and the volunteers will also be collecting POW bracelets if anyone wishes to donate back to the Vietnam Memorial Museum. Opening day ceremony will be Thursday, Sept. 7, at 4 p.m. Hardin County will honor its Vietnam Veterans who gave their lives. Their families will be recognized for their sacrifices. The City of Savannah will run the city trolley free of charge on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. for those visiting the park and the downtown area. Trolley stops are at Tennessee Street Park, the Savannah Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Park and the Tennessee River Museum. (Those who want to be a volunteer for this event should contact Fay Lindberg at 731-698-3997. For more information on the event schedule contact Hardin County CVB at 731-925-8181 or follow Tour Hardin County on Facebook.)

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Netflix wants subscribers to know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking out for them. For instance, the average Netflix subscriber might never guess that its dark superhero drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jessica Jonesâ&#x20AC;? might strike similar chords as the zany hijinks of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.â&#x20AC;? Netflix is happy to help you make the connection. Much of the attention showered on this streaming-video giant in recent years has dwelled on its insatiable appetite for original content and for creators to produce it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to appeal to as many different people as possible, and appeal to the many moods that each person has,â&#x20AC;? says vice president of product innovation Todd Yellin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more diverse our content, the more likely that someone, at their moment of truth about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to watch, will choose to go to Netflix.â&#x20AC;? But this serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multibillion-dollar annual outlay for new programming necessitates an-

other challenge: helping each program get discovered by the subscribers most likely to enjoy it. Four out of five of the shows watched on Netflix were found by its subscribers thanks to recommendations offered them, Netflix says. Those suggested new favorites are much more customized for each subscriber than might be evident from a glance at the Netflix home page. Most every row of program suggestions (even generic-seeming categories like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comediesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dramasâ&#x20AC;?) is tailored for each subscriber, Yellin says. And how the rows are arranged vertically on the home page is a function of the subscriberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demonstrated genre preferences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You might have â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Comediesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as your fifth row,â&#x20AC;? says Yellin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and for another person it might be 25th. And someone else might not get a comedy row at all.â&#x20AC;? So your Netflix is different from everybody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. But where do these tips come from? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important that the titles most relevant to each person

bubble up to the top of the catalog,â&#x20AC;? says Yellin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we want those relevant titles to be diverse. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make the amateur mistake of getting caught in an echo chamber, such as: Just because you watched one horror title, slapping in front of you nothing but more horror titles.â&#x20AC;? Yellin likens the process of providing bespoke TV for each customer to a three-way collaboration. First, a legion of Netflix â&#x20AC;&#x153;taggersâ&#x20AC;? screens every program, tagging different elements that compose it. This data is crunched and continuously refined by the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret-sauce algorithm. And then viewer habits gathered by Netflix from its 100 million accounts worldwide add more grist to the mill. Thus can Netflix take a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gatewayâ&#x20AC;? program and point the person watching it to other unexpected or unknown fare with presumably similar appeal. Consider â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ozark,â&#x20AC;? which viewers might be led to from any of several directions, explains Yellin.

Tillerson: Pakistan punishment looms BY LOLITA C. BALDOR AND MATTHEW PENNINGTON Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to end Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest war and eliminate Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising extremist threat involves sending up to 3,900 additional U.S. troops, senior officials said Tuesday. The first deployments could take place within days. In a national address Monday night, Trump reversed his past calls for a speedy exit and recommitted the United States to the 16-year-old conflict, saying U.S. troops must â&#x20AC;&#x153;fight to win.â&#x20AC;? He warned against repeating what he said were mistakes in Iraq, where an American military withdrawal led to a vacuum that the Islamic State group quickly filled. Trump would not confirm how many more service members he plans

to send to Afghanistan, which may be the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pressing question about his strategy. In interviews with television networks Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence similarly wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give any clear answer, but he cited Pentagon plans from June calling for 3,900 more troops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The troop levels are significant, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll listen to our military commanders about that,â&#x20AC;? Pence said. Although the Pentagonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans are based on 3,900 additional troops, the exact number will vary as conditions change, senior U.S. officials said. Those officials werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorized to speak publicly on the figures and demanded anonymity. They said the Pentagon has told Trump it needs the increase, on top of the roughly 8,400 Americans now in the country, to ac-

complish Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives. Those goals, he said Monday night, include â&#x20AC;&#x153;obliterating ISIS, crushing al-Qaida, preventing the Taliban from taking over Afghanistan and stopping mass terror attacks against America before they emerge.â&#x20AC;? Speaking to reporters in Iraq, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis declined to confirm a precise number Tuesday, saying he was waiting for more input from Gen. Joseph Dunford, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top military official. Mattis said he will â&#x20AC;&#x153;reorganizeâ&#x20AC;? some U.S. troops in Afghanistan to reflect the new strategy. Meanwhile, the top U.S. commander for the Middle East said he expects the first reinforcements to arrive â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty quickly,â&#x20AC;? within days or weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important for us now is to get some capabilities in to

have an impact on the current fighting season,â&#x20AC;? Gen. Joseph Votel, who spent last weekend in Afghanistan, told reporters traveling with him to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that after an effective military effort, a political settlement including some Taliban might be possible, echoing language of the Obama years. He said the U.S. would support peace talks with the Taliban â&#x20AC;&#x153;without preconditions.â&#x20AC;? On Pakistan, Tillerson said Tuesday that the U.S. could consider sanctions or cutting off Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status as a major non-NATO ally if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crack down on the Taliban and other extremist groups. U.S. lawmakers reflected the division among Americans about whether to press on with the Afghan conflict or pull back.

Greitens halts execution after DNA questions BY JIM SALTER Associated Press

ST. LOUIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens on Tuesday halted the scheduled execution of condemned inmate Marcellus Williams after DNA testing raised questions about whether he actually killed. Just hours before Williams was to be put to death, the Republican governor said in an email that he was issuing a stay of execution. Williams was convicted of fatally stabbing former St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Lisha Gayle during a 1998 burglary at her suburban St. Louis home. Williams was to be executed Tuesday evening. Greitensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision comes after Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at-

torneys cited DNA evidence found on the murder weapon that matched another unknown person, but not Williams. But St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said there was ample other evidence to convict Williams, and that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero possibilityâ&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A sentence of death is the ultimate, permanent punishment,â&#x20AC;? Greitens said in his statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To carry out the death penalty, the people of Missouri must have confidence in the judgment of guilt.â&#x20AC;? Greitens said he will appoint a five-member board of inquiry made up of retired judges with subpoena power. The board will make a recommendation to the governor concerning whether

the 48-year-old Williams should be executed. No timetable has been set. Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney, Kent Gipson, who had asked Greitens for clemency, said the stay of execution was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the appropriate thing to do.â&#x20AC;? He believes large-scale opposition to the execution was a factor in the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people have spoken,â&#x20AC;? Gipson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This online petition had a quarter of a million signatures. The case has generated a lot of outrage all over the country and the world.â&#x20AC;? Gipson also had appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court about concerns over DNA testing of the knife in December using techniques that

were not available when the killing occurred. He also cited previous DNA testing of hairs from Gayleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirt and fingernails that excluded Williams and said footprints at the scene did not match Williams. But McCulloch said in an interview Tuesday that the DNA tests â&#x20AC;&#x153;were inconclusiveâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;can neither include or excludeâ&#x20AC;? Williams as the killer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is the one who committed this murder,â&#x20AC;? McCulloch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made his decision 20 years ago to stay in that house. He heard Lisha Gayle walk down the stairs, and all he had to do was leave. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And now he has to live with that decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; die with that decision.â&#x20AC;? After Greitens halted the execution, McCulloch released a statement saying courts have repeatedly upheld Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conviction and sentence, and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident the inquiry board and governor â&#x20AC;&#x153;will reach the same conclusion.â&#x20AC;?

Deaths Frederick Bauer

Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Pops and a Good Friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A rambling wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer.â&#x20AC;? A funeral service celebrating the life of Frederick Page Bauer, 84, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church in Corinth. Visitation will be held from 1to 2 p.m Saturday in the Parish Hall at the church. Mr. Bauer died at his home in the presence of his family on Friday, Aug. 18, 2017 following a brief illness. He was born in Atlanta, Ga., and grew up in Rome, Ga., attending Rome High School. He graduated from Georgia Tech in 1956 with a degree in Industrial Engineering and was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. Three hours late for their blind date he would eventually marry Mildred Yvonne Mitchem on June 16, 1957 in Atlanta, Ga.. They eventually moved to Mendenhall in 1965 and were members of First Baptist Church. Fred was employed by Universal Manufacturing (later Magnatek) as director of quality control retiring after 30 years of service. He holds numerous patents for ideas to improve efficiency and production in the process of manufacturing ballasts for fluorescent lighting. In his spare time he enjoyed teaching computer science to adults at the Simpson County Vo-Tech Center, tutoring teenagers in math and science, as well as volunteering as a voting precinct worker. In retirement he became a failure analysis expert witness for cases involving fluorescent light ballasts. Throughout the years, Fred was a ham radio enthusiast, talking to other ham operators all over the world. His collection of QSL cards testify to the number of people with whom he made contact over the years and was a source of great pride. His first call sign was K4HBJ and later King-Baker-5-Red-Headed-Duck. Fred and Yvonne moved to Corinth, Mississippi in 2014 in order to be near their son and family. He was preceded in death by his father Carl Albert Bauer, Sr., mother Rita Mull Bauer, infant son David Michael Bauer, sister Beverly BauerKing, brother Carl A.

SINGAPORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Navy divers searching a flooded compartment of the USS John S. McCain found remains of some of the 10 sailors missing in a collision between the warship and an oil tanker, the U.S. Pacific Fleet commander said Tuesday as he promised a full investigation. Adm. Scott Swift also said at a news conference in Singapore, where the McCain is now docked, that Malaysian officials had found one body, but

it had yet to be identified and it was unknown whether it was a crew member. The collision before dawn on Monday near Singapore tore a gaping hole in the McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left rear hull and flooded adjacent compartments including crew berths and machinery and communication rooms. Five sailors were injured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The divers were able to locate some remains in those sealed compartments during their search today,â&#x20AC;? Swift said, adding

that it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;premature to say how many and what the status of recovery of those bodies is.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue the search and rescue operations until the probability of discovering sailors is exhausted,â&#x20AC;? Swift said. He would not say where in the destroyer the bodies were found. It was the second major collision in two months involving the Pacificbased 7th Fleet, and the Navy has ordered a broad investigation into its performance and readiness.

Charlottesville votes to shroud statues CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The Charlottesville City Council voted to drape two Confederate statues in black fabric during a chaotic meeting packed with irate residents who screamed and cursed at councilors over the city’s response to a white nationalist rally. The anger at Monday night’s meeting, during which three people were arrested, forced the council to abandon its agenda and focus instead on the tragedy. Covering the statues is intended to signal the city’s mourning for Heather Heyer, who was killed when a car slammed into a crowd protesting the rally. The council meeting was the first since the “Unite the Right” event, which was believed to be the largest gathering of white nationalists in a decade. The demonstrators arrived in Charlottesville partly to protest the city council’s vote to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

How air bag made way into used car DETROI — A dangerous Takata air bag should have been recalled before going from a wrecked car to a salvage yard, eventually ending up in a 2002 Honda Accord and nearly killing a Las Vegas woman, a lawsuit alleges. The Accord had been fixed up and sold in

March of 2016 to the family of Karina Dorado, a 19-year-old woman whose trachea was punctured by shrapnel spewed by the faulty air bag. The family claims it was never informed that the air bag was subject to a recall. How that air bag got into the Accord is detailed in the lawsuit filed Friday in Nevada. It highlights the sometimes suspect world of auto parts recycling and shows how dangerous recalled parts can find their way into used cars that are sold to unsuspecting buyers.

Wig-wearing bank robber sought PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police and FBI agents are trying to find a bank robber who wore an unkempt woman’s wig to disguise himself. Despite the suspect’s goofy appearance, authorities are concerned because the man also had a knife when he approached a teller at the Dollar Bank in the city’s South Side on Monday morning. The suspect also wore sunglasses. He is described as a white man about 5-foot-10 to 6 feet and weighing between 150 pounds and 160 pounds.

Williams’ cellphone data to be reviewed WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Records from Venus Williams’ cellphone will be turned over to attorneys representing the family of a 78-yearold Florida man who died after a June car

crash with the tennis star. An agreement for the records was reached prior to a court hearing in a lawsuit filed against Williams. Jerome Barson’s family sought the records to find out if Williams was on the phone and distracted just prior to the crash. Williams’ lawyers said they will turn over phone records that span a two-and-a-half-hour period before and after the June 6 crash. Her lawyers said Williams wasn’t distracted. Barson died 13 days after police say Williams drove into the path of the sedan Barsons’ wife was driving. Williams hasn’t been cited or charged.

Freshman collapses at practice, dies NEW YORK — A 14-year-old freshman boy collapsed during football practice Tuesday morning and later died at a hospital, police and school officials said. Emergency crews got a call around 9:30 a.m. saying the boy had apparently gone into cardiac arrest at Mount Saint Michaels Academy, fire officials said. He was immediately treated on campus then transported to a hospital, where he later died. “Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, as well as coaches, the team and our student-athletes,” school officials said in a statement. The boy’s name was not immediately released.

Wife gets life for hired killing of husband GULFPORT — A Mississippi woman, accused of having a hit man kill the husband she claims had abused her for 30 years, has been sentenced to life in prison. Local news outlets reported the 56-year-old accepted a plea deal to first-degree murder Monday after she’d been indicted on a capital murder charge in the January 2015 killing of her husband, both a father and grandfather. Evelyn Garrison said she’d tried to call off the hit, but Timmy Garrison was beaten and stabbed to death at his sawmill equipment business. According to testimony by Stone County Sheriff’s Capt. Ray Boggs, 67-year-old Emmett Entriken hired his cousin 23-year-old Joey Parks to do the killing. Parks is serving life without parole for the capital murder of Garrison. Entrekin’s trial is set Sept. 18 on charges including conspiracy.

Freeman to receive SAG career award LOS ANGELES — Morgan Freeman will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award at next year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony. The actors union announced Tuesday that Freeman will accept its highest honor on Jan. 21, 2018. The 80-year-old Freeman has already received lifetime achievement prizes from the American Film Institute

and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, among many other acting accolades. He has been nominated five times for an Academy Award and won for his performance in 2004’s “Million Dollar Baby.”

Regulators, utility split on power rates JACKSON — Regulators and Mississippi Power Co. disagree over how much money the company should get for the functioning portion of its Kemper County power plant. The unit of Atlantabased Southern Co. wants customers to pay for $277 million in assets than the Public Utilities Staff believes is justified. Although the difference would initially have little impact on rates, staff Executive Director Virden Jones says customers would pay substantially more over time under Mississippi Power’s plan. Jones said Missis-

sippi Power would be overcharging. Mississippi Power says it’s entitled to even more money, and that it needs solid financial support to recover from the $6 billion it’s already lost on Kemper.

Child struck while crossing the street JACKSON — Authorities said a child was struck by a vehicle while crossing a street near a Mississippi high school. News outlets reported the 12-year-old boy was hit near Forest Hill High School in Jackson on Monday evening. Jackson Police Commander Tyree Jones said the vehicle stayed on scene and the child was transported to the hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. Councilmen De’Keither Stamps and Aaron Banks were also at the scene of the accident. They said a crosswalk and a sidewalk are needed to prevent further accidents.

MARKET SUMMARY G

Better quarter?

Spotlight on housing

Wall Street predicts that Williams-Sonoma’s latest quarterly report card improved from a year earlier. The seller of cookware and home furnishings is expected to report today that its earnings and revenue increased in the May-July quarter. That would be an improvement from the first quarter, for which Williams-Sonoma posted a gain in revenue, but a decline in earnings.

Sales of new U.S. homes have been rising this year, reflecting strong demand amid tight inventory of homes for sale. New-home sales edged up 0.8 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 610,000. Sales are up 10.9 percent so far this year. Did the trend continue in July? Find out today, when the Commerce Department reports its monthly tally of new home sales.
