Wheeler Grove Baptist Church has set up a disaster relief account at a local bank to make financial donations easier for Crossroads area residents. Wheeler Grove Baptist Church Missions Director Ed Settle said an account has been set up at Renasant Bank. Those interested in providing financial donations can make those donations at any branch with the designation: Wheeler Grove Baptist Church/Disaster Relief (Harvey). Originally, when efforts were first organized this week, it was stated monetary dona-

Wheeler Grove Baptist Church Missions Director tions could be made to Wheeler Grove Baptist Church, but the disaster relief bank account should prove to be more convenient for those who wish to help. “Anyone who wants to go by there, can make donations directly to the bank for the hurricane victims,” said Settle.
Wheeler Grove Baptist Church is serving as the coordinator for local efforts by the Alcorn County Baptist Association. Previously, Wheeler Grove Pastor Kara Blackard stressed that, while they are coordinating the efforts, it is multi-denominational and all churches are invited to help.

Tax collections remain flat BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Sales and tourism tax collections in the city continued on a flat trajectory as the fiscal year nears its end. Both taxes posted gains of less than 1 percent compared to a year ago. The city’s sales tax diversion of $535,740.68 rose 0.7 percent from a year ago. The August diversion reflects sales activity in local stores during the month of June. The year-to-date tally of $5.719 million is 1.5 percent behind the same point a year ago. The city’s result for the month was on par with the statewide increase of 0.5 percent. Elsewhere in Alcorn County, the town of Glen nearly doubled its year-ago figure with an August diversion of $3,639.51. Over the past three months, the town’s sales tax diversion is up 39 percent,

Money donated in the Crossroads area currently will come along behind and fill in the gaps where families have specific needs, Settle explained. In addition, Settle said all local Baptist churches are encouraged to set aside Sunday, Sept. 10, to take up a special offering for the victims of the catastrophic flooding caused by the hurricane. “That will be our focus day for the churches, but we’re accepting donations all the way through the month of September,” said Settle.

the group will perform acapella spirituals as well as gospel selections accompanied by their fivepiece band. The event was developed to help highlight the Corinth Contraband Camp site, which is also part of the Shiloh National Military Park, said NPS Ranger Ashley Berry. Along with the CWIC’s regular exhibits featuring information about the Contraband Camp, there will also be a multimedia PowerPoint presentation. “There is no set time for the presentation, people can come in and view it as they wish,” said Berry. “Our goal in hosting this event is to foster community relationships by highlighting the Corinth Contraband Camp site,” said Superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “From November 1862 – December 1863, this camp was home to over 6,000 people, the place where thousands of formerly enslaved people took their first steps toward freedom. The people created a church, hospital, and a school, and by August 1863, over 1,000 children and adults had gained the ability to read. The Gospel Music we know today traces its roots to the call and re-
sponse songs of the spirituals African-Americans developed to strengthen communal bonds and to honor their Christian beliefs.” The Rev. Kim Ratliff of St. Mark Baptist Church/ City of Corinth Code Enforcement Officer was one of the committee members for the event and expressed his feelings about the upcoming concert. “It was an honor for me to serve on the committee. A lot of folks don’t know this about me, but I have a great love for history and Corinth is the right place to be born and raised to have an appreciation of history. This is a great opportunity to learn more about history and a fun way to attract people there to come together to sit and sing and have fellowship with one another and it was great to be a part of that effort,” said Ratliff. Ratliff said in his own family lineage includes a freed slave who was a soldier for the Union side. He said his ancestor was a slave on a plantation in Paris, Tenn., who ended up in Alcorn County after the Civil War. He said he was glad his ancestor found his way to Alcorn County. “If he had not come here, I wouldn’t be here,”

when he started a year ago. The goals are now more focused. “My goal always is to grow the church and reach people for Christ. Some people impacted me when I was a teenager in my relationship with the Lord and I’ve always wanted to do that -- just impact people for the Lord and help churches to grow,” said Hassell. In many ways, the pastor said the past year has been a transitional one for him and his wife, Tammy Hassell. They moved to Corinth and have just sent the last of their four children off to college. He said he has spent a good bit of the last year within the church just “taking the time to look, listen and see what was needed in the area.” He came across a couple of surveys that came out. They said Mississippi was second in the nation for the number of people who claimed to be Christians. “Seventy-seven percent

time,” said Berry.
of the people claim to be Christians in Mississippi,” said Hassell. He went on to say he found this to be true when he would talk to people — most everyone stated they were Christians. However, from what he could see on his walks to church from his downtown home, he said there were not a lot of people attending church of a regular basis. Thus, the congregation decided to take part in the National Back to Church Sunday program. “We’re doing a big push to try to go get those people to come back and start going to church and to get a relationship with church. For whatever reason they drifted away, we’re just trying to reconnect with folks in the community ... just want to tell them, ‘Hey, in these turbulent times, you need to be in a relationship with Christ and church,’” said Hassell. The minister pointed out there are practical as well as spiritual benefits of being part of a church family and meeting on a regular basis. “I believe there is a desire in all of us. People are looking for ways to fill that void for meaning and purpose. And you find that with your relationship with God. People are trying to find all kinds of ways to fill that void, from work and success to money ... anything to fill it. “Now, there’s this company that comes in and does survey and it says that people want to be involved with something bigger than themselves. Church gives them that opportunity. To connect with God — that gives us meaning and purpose in life. Also, He created us to be relational beings so the first is a relationship with Him and second there’s the relationship with others. The church provides that opportunity,” said Hassell. One of the biggest misconceptions about church is that it’s going to be all wonderful relationships, he said. “I believe He designed this to teach us how to work on relationships because it’s not always good relationships in church. That [church] is the arena He designed to teach us to grow in relationships — how to get along with people and accomplish things together we couldn’t accomplish by ourselves. It’s an atmosphere where we need one another,” said the pastor. He explained that Waldron Street Christian Church has a desire to remind people why they
loved their church. They want to remind people of their best memories of church and reconnect them with church family, as well as to try to reach out to people in the community. “We’re not trying to steal from other people’s churches. We just want to reach those who haven’t been going,” said Hassell. He said he has noticed churches in the Crossroads area do a wonderful job at meeting the needs of the area. He has seen how well they feed the hungry, help those with addictions and provide toys and food during the holidays. “They are doing great things in the community,” said Hassell. He said the purpose statement of Waldron Street Christian Church is to “Serving Christ at the Crossroads,” and they are always looking for better ways to meet those needs — particularly in the downtown area and one of the ways they have helped is to provide use of their facilities for community events held downtown that were threatened by inclement weather, such as Pickin’ on the Square during the winter and the National Day of Prayer, when rain forced a change of venue. Mississippi-native Hassell was born in the Pratt community near Baldwyn and many generations of his family are from that area and living and working in the ministry in Mississippi has been what he always wanted. His father worked for General Electric and the family moved a great deal. He met his wife when he attended Atlanta Christian College. “It was alway my dream when I went into the ministry to move back to Mississippi and minister in the area,” said Hassell. After college, Hassell had his first pulpit preaching job in Southaven, where he worked for five years, then he spent five years in Jackson. His wife is from Florida, so they moved to DeLand, Fla., for 25 years, with about 22-23 years in the ministry there. He was happy when he had the opportunity to return home to Mississippi. “This is a new adventure for us. I have fallen in love with Corinth and its wonderful history. We have a home downtown and I walk to work ... I love the restaurants and the people,” said Hassell. The pastor said Waldron Street Christian Church will continue to work — looking for unique ways to meet the needs of the community.

Today’s Highlight in History On September 2, 1945, Japan formally surrendered in ceremonies aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, ending World War II.
On this date In 1666, the Great Fire of London broke out. In 1789, the United States Treasury Department was established. In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Gen. William T. Sherman’s forces occupied Atlanta. In 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt offered the advice, “Speak softly and carry a big stick” in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair. In 1924, the Rudolf Friml operetta “Rose Marie” opened on Broadway. In 1935, a Labor Day hurricane slammed into the Florida Keys, claiming more than 400 lives. In 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam an independent republic. (Ho died on this date in 1969.) In 1963, Alabama Gov. George C.

Judge weighs fate of Charlottesville Confederate monument Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A judge in Virginia heard arguments but didn’t issue a final ruling Friday on whether a lawsuit over Charlottesville’s decision to remove the Confederate monument that helped spark a violent white nationalist rally should
proceed. After a hearing on a motion by city attorneys to dismiss the lawsuit, the judge sided with Charlottesville on some points, tossing them from further consideration. But he said he needed more time to study the “main issue,” the question of
park and sell it. Fights broke out before the rally got started, with attendees and counterprotesters brawling in the streets. After authorities forced the crowd to disperse, a car rammed into a group of people protesting the white nationalists, killing one woman and injuring many more.

These future bestsellers could be huge By now, summer is winding down, and so, probably, is that John Grisham book you started in June. Want to know what you’ll be finishing in the summer of 2018? • “Harry Potter and the HalfLenore Crazed Cubicle Partner.” Now Skenazy in his 11th year at the Ministry of Magic, an increasingly Columnist pudgy Potter struggles with a Dementor-infested copying machine, ministrywide restrictions on personal e-owl and, most vexingly, his office mate Parvati Patil, who calls him “Hotty Potty” and is constantly climbing into his (ample) lap, only to giggle, slap him and fly back to her desk. Recommended only for those who loved “Harry Potter and the Help Desk of Doom.” • “Grout.” Forget passion and perseverance, writes professor turned plumber Angela Duckworth. If you want something to really succeed -- and that something is your bathroom -- grit is not going to do the trick. • “The 5 Trillion People You Meet in Purgatory.” They’re all here and all inspiring -- more or less. The inner-city violin teacher who failed to report her tutoring income to the IRS. The baker who always gave bread to the homeless but once told his mother to “can it!” when she started gushing about his brother’s new Lexus again. The lovable old lady who stole a roll of toilet paper from the senior center. Lots of stories, lots of regret and, all told, a rather sobering read. • “The Life-Changing Art of Torching Your Apartment.” It is actually impossible to tidy up. What, we’re supposed to sift through all those papers on the bed? Put away all those clothes on the bed? Lap up all the beer that’s on the bed? Do we LOOK like Martha Stewart? Thank goodness for how-to books! And matches! • “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Authors.” Sit down. Start typing. Simplify. Enjoy everything you need to know to become a best-selling business guru, plus 28 made-up anecdotes and a couple of bar graphs. Highly recommended for office bookshelves. • “The Girl on the Bus.” Jealousy, betrayal and a long wait for the 3:17 to midtown. Surely, it should be here by now. Or now. Or now. If that bus doesn’t come soon, someone is going to pay -- with a painful, gory death! But ... is that maybe the bus down there? • “Founding Fathers-in-Law.” A gripping story of the fathers of the wives of the guys who wrote the Constitution, with a real feel for what times were like back then -- damp. If you liked “Hamilton” (and if you didn’t, better keep it to yourself), this book is just as thick! • “Who Moved My Leg?” How to cope with change and -- if necessary -- ambush amputation in the increasingly cutthroat world of office politics. • “French Men Don’t Get Bald.” And did we mention French children don’t get cavities? And French dogs don’t get meatball breath? More nyah-nyahs from across the sea. Also of note: • “Rich Dad, Rich Granddad: The Real Story of How to Get Ahead” • “The World Is Fat: Thomas Friedman’s Other Big Revelation” • “You: The Fine Print on the Warranty” • “Leakonomics: Tips From Steve Bannon” • “Geekonomics: Tips From Elon Musk” • “Sheikonomics: Tips From the Saudi Royal Family” • “Reekonomics: Tips From Peter Lorre in ‘Casablanca’” • “Batikonomics: Tips From Fabric-makers in Indonesia” • “Battlecreekonomics: Tips From Snap, Crackle and Pop” • “Meekonomics: Tips for Inheriting the Earth (Eventually -- But First the ‘Rich Dad, Rich Granddad’ Folks Are Going to Win for a While)” 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 Lord God, grant that after years of climbing I may not find the mist in my soul has dulled the vision of thy glory. Keep me from the habit of looking for faults, and missing the virtues in others. Forbid that I should be so occupied in taking measure of other lives that I neglect to measure my own. Amen.

What is the matter with us?
BY RAY MOSBY Columnist
“When ‘happily ever after’ fails And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details.”—Don Henley ROLLING FORK — I seem to spend a lot of time these days screaming at screens. I realize that is not a good indication of mental health, but be they computer screens or TV screens, what I see on both is so selfdefeating, so infuriating, so frustrating, that I can’t help (not unlike good ole Howard Beal in “Network,”) blurting it out: “What’s the matter with you people?” What ever happened to all of the things that used to be the taken for granted hallmarks of daily existence in this country? What happened to common sense and common decency and simple manners and knowing how to act in public, for heaven’s sake? In contemporary America, all we see and all we hear are the screeching voices of the extreme among us, the overthe-top rantings and ravings of the extremist ideologues on the far left and far right of the political spectrum who are not only at war with each other, but tossing out all reason like an old sock, also with anybody and everybody

no way better than the other idiots you ostensibly organized to oppose? One is as bad as the other and once upon a time, we the people had enough gumption to call all of this hatedriven behavior for what is really is — un-American. And if I can return to the clearly lost concept of common sense for a moment, allow me to also ask, when did so large a slice of the American population decide that they are and should be as fragile as Aunt Ethel’s Swiss tea cup collection? When did our colleges and universities, supposedly our bastions of truth, dedicated to the exchange of ideas decide to start censoring speech and turning away speakers because what they have to say may not fit into that institution’s definition of what’s politically correct? (Are you listening, Berkeley?) When did those same higher learning centers feel the need to create “safe spaces” for not their kindergartners, but their young men and women who are suddenly so sensitive as to need protection from the spoken word. Their infinitely superior contemporaries are fighting fanatics in far away hellholes with AK-47s and RPGs, bent on killing them every day and these “future leaders”
are scared of and wounded by words? Why, the poor things. I’ve lived a long time and seen this country go though a lot of phases, and I am here to tell you, folks, it just has not been all that long ago that if somebody said something offensive he would either just be ignored or slapped or punched in the nose, but there was no danger of the offended one dashing off to bed with a case of the vapors. I sometimes think it possible that we are too close, lack adequate perspective to see, or to realize for what it is, just how crazy we as a society have become. What we do makes no sense but what we don’t makes no sense, either. It’s as if the nation has lost sight of all the landmarks that used to both define and guide it and America is lost within its own boundaries with too many of its citizens wandering, quite aimlessly, into some of her darker corners. We are, perhaps, most in need of a resounding national finger snap, something to bring us to our senses and allow us to recognize again what it is to be an American. And to recognize again what is not. Ray Mosby is editor and publisher of the Deer Creek Pilot in Rolling Fork.
What Hurricane Harvey hath wrought
Like 9/11, Hurricane Harvey brought us together. In awe at the destruction 50 inches of rain did to East Texas and our fourth-largest city and in admiration as cable television showed countless hours of Texans humanely and heroically rescuing and aiding fellow Texans in the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. On display this week was America at her best. Yet the destruction will not soon be repaired. Nearly a third of Harris County, home to 4.5 million people, was flooded. Beaumont and Port Arthur were swamped with 2 feet of rain and put underwater. Estimates of the initial cost to the Treasury are north of $100 billion, with some saying the downpayment alone will be closer to $200 billion. Though the country has appeared united since the storm hit, it is not likely to remain so. Soon, the cameras and correspondents will go home, while the shelters remain full, as tens of thousands of people in those shelters have only destroyed homes to return to. When the waters recede,

else who do not agree with them. That’s crazy, folks. And far too many of us in the middle are listening to these respective purveyors of poison, taking sides in a war we used to be too smart to even think of fighting and that is even crazier. A couple of weeks ago, I quite rightly took to this space to condemn the actions of deplorable human beings (I assume we can at least agree that Nazi skinheads, Klansmen, white separatists and assorted other fascists are deplorable) for waving around assault rifles, giving Nazi salutes, beating other people up and generally starting a riot in Charlottesville, Va. So, what happens this past weekend? At another “march” in Berkeley, Cal., another bunch of thugs, this one identifying itself as an anti-fascist organization (Antifa), don masks and hoods and starts another melee, beating and kicking a peaceful right-wing group, which prompts me to ask two other questions: What is the matter (just in general) with all you folks in Berkley? And don’t you idiots in the masks and hoodies realize that what you are doing is not “anti-fascist?” It is rather the very definition of fascism, making you in

the misery of the evacuees left behind will become less tolerable. Then will come Patrick the looters Buchanan and gougers and angry Columnist arguments over who’s to blame and who should pay. They have already begun. Republicans who balked at voting for the bailout billions for Chris Christie’s New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the coast in 2012 are being called hypocrites for asking for swift and massive federal assistance to repair Texas. And whereas George W. Bush soared to 90 percent approval after 9/11, no such surge in support for Donald Trump appears at hand. A prediction: The damage done by Harvey -- as well as the physical, psychic and political costs -- will cause many to echo the slogan of George McGovern in 1972, when he exhorted the country to “come home, America.” The nation seems more receptive now, for even before Harvey, the media seemed
consumed with what ails America. The New York and D.C. subway systems are crumbling. Puerto Rico is bankrupt. Some states, such as Illinois, cannot balance their budgets. The murder rates are soaring in Baltimore and Chicago. Congress this month will have to raise the debt ceiling by hundreds of billions and pass a budget with a deficit bloated by the cost of Harvey. And the foreign crises seem to be coming at us, one after another. Russia is beginning military maneuvers in the Baltic and Belarus, bordering Poland, with a force estimated by some at 100,000 troops -- Vladimir Putin’s response to NATO’s deployment of 4,000 troops to the Baltic States and Poland. The U.S. is considering sending anti-tank missiles to Kiev. This could reignite the Donbass war and bring Russian intervention, the defeat of the Ukrainian army and calls for U.S. intervention.

missile over Japan. Trump’s answer: U.S. B-1Bs make practice bombing runs near the demilitarized zone. Reports from South Korea indicate that Kim may soon conduct a sixth underground test of an atomic bomb. War in Korea has never seemed so close since Dwight Eisenhower ended the war with an armistice more than 60 years ago. But along with the growth of entitlement spending, the new dollars demanded for defense, the prospect of new wars and the tax cuts the White House supports, Hurricane Harvey should concentrate the mind. Great as America is, there are limits to our wealth and power, to how many global problems we can solve, to how many wars we can fight and to how many hostile powers we can confront. The “indispensable nation” is going to have to begin making choices. Indeed, that is among the reasons Trump was elected. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of a new book, “Nixon’s White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever.”

NE students display work in president’s home Northeast Mississippi Community College art students Kara Reynolds of Corinth and Allye Grace Grisham of Iuka can say they have done something that few others at Northeast have. Grisham’s “Vanilla Pine,” which was an exercise in color matching and Reynold’s threedimensional boot, were displayed at the home of Northeast president Ricky Ford throughout the 2017 summer months. Grisham and Reynold’s pieces replaced those by Samantha Campbell of Ingomar and Emily Gafford of New Albany as Northeast art students get a chance to have their work on exhibit at the president’s home during each of the college’s three semesters – spring, summer and fall. As part of a program started by the college’s first lady Luanne Ford, art students at Northeast get an opportunity to showcase their work in front of the president’s family and guests at the presidential home on campus. “President Ford and I are happy to display just a small sample of the fine work done by the art students at Northeast,” Luanne Ford said. “We are proud of the work they
are doing and the professors who guide their efforts.” Grisham’s “Vanilla Pine” was part of an exercise in Northeast’s Design II class that focused on matching colors where students took various parts of wallpaper and rearranged them into another scene. Grisham’s work focused on her having to remove half of the original wallpaper and recreating it with acrylic paint to create their own work. Reynold’s chose to use artistic freedom from her assignment in the college’s three-dimensional design class where students were challenged with their initial assignment of making a shoe out of masking tape. Reynold’s rose to the challenge and made an exact duplicate of her own boot that she was wearing in class instead of copying a shoe. Works rotate on a semester basis and are nominated by instructors in the college’s art program. Northeast art instructor Jenna Fincher has been instrumental in seeing that quality works are presented at the president’s home. Grisham and Reynolds joined just a handful of

Trump seeks an initial $7.9 billion in Harvey relief funding Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has sent lawmakers an initial request for a $7.9 billion down payment toward Harvey relief and recovery efforts. The request, expected to be swiftly approved by Congress, would add $7.4 billion to rapidly dwindling Federal Emergency Management Agency
disaster aid coffers and $450 million to finance disaster loans for small businesses. Republican leaders are already making plans to use the aid package, certain to be overwhelmingly popular, to win speedy approval of a contentious increase in the federal borrowing limit. A senior House Republican, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because the deliberations were private, disclosed the approach. It ignores objections from House conservatives who are insisting that disaster money for Harvey should not be paired with the debt limit increase. Other senior GOP aides cautioned that no final decision had been made, and Democrats, whose
votes would be needed in the Senate, are cool to the approach. For GOP lawmakers who support a straightforward increase in the debt limit, pairing it with Harvey money makes the unpopular vote easier to cast. Congress must act by Sept. 29 to increase the United States’ $19.9 trillion debt limit, in order to permit the government
to continue borrowing money to pay bills like Social Security and interest. Failing to raise the debt limit would risk a marketshattering first-ever U.S. default. “Look, some members are going to vote against the debt ceiling under any circumstances and they want their ‘no’ vote to be as easy as possible,” said Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa.
“The issue is not making the debt ceiling vote easier for the ‘no’ votes. The issue is making it easier for the ‘yes’ votes.” The government’s cash reserves are running low since the nation’s debt limit has actually already been reached, and the Treasury Department is using various accounting measures to cover expenses.

Trump’s disaster prep questioned after hurricane Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s hiring and budget plans are raising questions about whether he can deliver the “better-than-ever” recovery he’s promised after Hurricane Harvey devastated a swath of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Trump has proposed vast budget cuts and leaving some leadership positions unfilled at agencies involved in disaster management. His Republican allies on Capitol Hill proposed spending some of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster money to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. But in the week since Harvey dumped a record rain blamed for deadly flooding, experts see some bright spots. Among them: Trump’s support for FEMA’s coordination efforts and its administrator, Brock Long, a veteran of emergency management. The administration is preparing an emergency request for Congress for an initial $5.9 billion to replenish government reserves for relief aid. And that’s likely to be followed by supplemental requests for as much federal cash as needed
for a rebuilding and recovery expected to last years. But much of FEMA’s widely-praised response is the product of laws and procedures that grew under Trump’s predecessors after the government’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Taking a turn as comforter-in-chief this week in flooded Texas, Trump signaled concern for the victims — and an understanding of the potential for a smooth recovery to help steady his turbulent administration. He showered praise on the responders, and Long in particular, even as he warned that “the world is watching.” “We want to do it better than ever before. We want to be looked at five years, 10 years from now, as this is the way to do it,” Trump said of the effort. Trump’s signals have been mixed. On one hand, he’s promised quick federal aid to those hit by Harvey. White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert on Thursday said he’s “not worried at all” about having enough money to help the region recover. The president himself has pledged $1 million of his own money toward the effort.
City struggles to restore water service in Harvey aftermath BY JAY REEVES AND JULIET LINDERMAN Associated Press
HOUSTON — A Texas city that lost its drinking water system to Harvey struggled Saturday to restore service, and firefighters kept monitoring a crippled chemical plant that has twice been the scene of explosions and fires since the storm roared ashore and stalled over Texas more than a week ago. Officials in Beaumont, population almost 120,000, worked to repair their water treatment plant, which failed after the swollen Neches River inundated the main intake system and backup pumps failed. The Army Corps of Engineers sent pumps, and an ExxonMobil team built and installed a temporary intake pipe in an effort to refill a city reservoir. Exxon has a refinery and chemical plants in Beaumont. On Friday, people waited in a line that stretched for more than a mile to get bottled water. In Crosby, outside of Houston, authorities continued to monitor the Arkema plant where three trailers of highly unstable compounds ignited in recent days, sending thick black smoke and tall flames into the air. A Harris County fire marshal spokeswoman said there were no active fires at the facility, but six more trailers were being watched. The soggy and battered city of Houston began burying its dead and taking steps toward the long recovery ahead. The school district said up to 12,000 students would be sent to different schools because of flood-damaged buildings. Harvey flooding is believed to have damaged at least 156,000

SONOMA, Calif. — Vineyards moved their wine harvest to the cool of night and transit trains slowed for fear that some of the hottest weather in San Francisco Bay Area history would warp rails Saturday, as stifling temperatures and the smoky pall of wildfires marked an unofficial end to summer across the U.S. West.

can get this over, behind me and try not to think about it,” said Georgia Calhoun, whose family is sleeping on air mattresses inside her damaged home after taking ruined furniture to the curb. Not everyone was able to think about rebuilding yet. About 200 people waved signs and shouted as they rallied Saturday outside a still-flooded subdivision in the west Houston suburb of Katy, demanding answers about when they will be able to return home. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has warned residents that their homes could remain flooded for up to 15 days because of ongoing releases of water from two reservoirs protecting downtown. Turner on Saturday ordered mandatory evacuations for an area that’s been inundated by water from the reservoirs. About 4,700 dwellings are in the area, and Turner said about 300 people have refused to leave. The city said the releases are necessary to preserve the reservoirs’ structural integrity, but many at the rally said their homes were being sacrificed to save others. Homeowner Sheetal Parwal said her family now has less than what they had when they emigrated from India 10 years ago, and that their home is now a swamp. The school district assessed its own losses. Twenty-two of its 245 schools had extensive damage that will keep them closed for months. Superintendent Richard Carranza said the goal is to start the school year on Sept. 11, but that could change. President Donald Trump arrived in Hous-
ton for his second visit to the devastated region. He and first lady Melania Trump met with Harvey evacuees taking shelter at the NRG Center in Houston, where they spent time with children and helped to serve food. Later, they helped load trucks with relief supplies at a church in suburban Houston. They also visited Lake Charles, Louisiana, to survey damage. Turner said he spoke to the president about the importance of getting storm evacuees out of shelters and into housing, and helping people who are still in their homes but in need of assistance. The mayor called his discussions with Trump “very positive.” About 1,000 evacuees remained at the George R. Brown Convention Center, down from a peak of about 10,000, city officials said. Trump has asked lawmakers for a $7.9 billion down payment toward Harvey relief and recovery efforts — a request expected to be swiftly approved by Congress, which returns to work Tuesday after its summer break. The remnants of the storm were fading fast in the Ohio Valley. National Weather Service meteorologists expect what’s left of Harvey to break up and merge with other weather systems late Saturday or Sunday. Harvey came ashore Aug. 25 as a Category 4 hurricane, then went back out to sea and lingered off the coast as a tropical storm for days. The storm brought five straight days of rain totaling close to 52 inches in one location, the heaviest tropical downpour ever recorded in the continental U.S.

dwellings in Harris County, which includes the nation’s fourth-largest city. The storm is blamed for at least 44 deaths. Also, fire officials in the community of New Waverly, about 55 miles north of Houston, said a 6-monthold baby was missing and presumed dead after being ripped out of its parents’ arms and swept away by floodwaters when the family fled their pickup truck last Sunday, the Houston Chronicle reported. Kim Martinez, 28, waited Saturday for insurance adjusters to come to her Southbelt/Ellington neighborhood, a devastated middle-class area of southeast Houston. The mother of two was hosting a watch party for the Floyd MayweatherConor McGregor boxing fight last Saturday when floodwaters forced about 15 people to the attic. They escaped the next day. Seven children were rescued by a neighbor’s boat. The women and a 115-pound German shepherd used inflatable swim toys, and the men swam or waded through shoulder-high water. “You can be prepared for anything but not a monster storm like Harvey,” said her mother, Maria Martinez, 63. Valerie Williams returned to her flood-damaged home to find mud covering the walls and everything but her dining room table destroyed. “People, they say we’re praying for you and stuff. Well, we appreciate the prayers. We really do. But what we need is assistance,” Williams said. Some were able to count their blessings even as they faced a daunting recovery. “I’m just praying on some help right now so I

In Los Angeles, a wildfire just north of downtown had grown to become the largest in city history, Mayor Eric Garcetti said. Three structures had burned, at least two of them homes, but fire officials said they were confident they could tame the blaze unless winds picked up. Fires also have driven people from their homes in Washington state, Oregon, Montana and other areas struggling with a weeklong heat wave that’s gripped the region. San Francisco, meanwhile, set a heat record for the day before noon, hitting 94 degrees. By mid-afternoon, it was 101 in the coastal city — hotter than desertbound Phoenix. With an all-time high of 106 on Friday, it became just the third time since the 1870s that San Francisco had back-to-back tripledigit days. Forecasters expected temperatures to climb as high as 115 in suburbs east of the city. It was a rare heat wave at a time of year that residents usually call “Fogust” for its cloudy chill. The region was so hot that officials with the Bay Area Rapid Transit system ordered trains to slow down on rails that were exposed to sun, ex-
pecting the heat would expand and possibly shift the metal track slightly, spokeswoman Alicia Trost said. The weekend also broke heat records in wine counties north of San Francisco, where Labor Day for some vineyards marks the start of the busy grape harvest. “We had been hoping for a mellow season,” Kat Doescher, senior winemaker at Madrone Estate Winery outside Sonoma, said shortly after sunrise. She inspected the chardonnay grapes that workers had harvested overnight under lights. “But I look at the forecasts, and I see a heat wave that’s not getting any cooler.” Other vineyard managers fretted over how best to soothe and when to pick their own heatstressed grapes. In Los Angeles, hundreds of firefighters battled flames that chewed through nearly 8 square miles of brush-covered mountains as authorities issued mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders for more than 700 homes in Los Angeles, Burbank and Glendale. Tourists snapped shots of their planes landing against a backdrop of orange flames in the hills near Hollywood Burbank airport. Los Angeles resident Tracy Goldman had her car packed in case officials ordered her street to evacuate. “It’s very unsettling,” she said by telephone as she watched flames that she said had reached within 200 feet of her house. Fires up and down California’s Sierra Nevada and further to the northwest cast an eerie yellow
and gray haze. In the Sierra foothills, authorities opened a center where evacuated residents could find out if their home was one of 20 destroyed in a blaze about 70 miles north of Sacramento. The National Interagency Fire Center said more than 25,000 firefighters and personnel were spread out across the West fighting 56 large uncontained wildfires, including 21 in Montana and 17 in Oregon. Fire weather warnings were in effect for parts of Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana, where blazes spanned more than 850 square miles. In the Pacific Northwest, high temperatures and a lack of rain this summer have dried out vegetation that fed on winter snow and springtime rain. Officials warned of wildfire danger as hot, dry, smoky days were forecast across Oregon and Washington over the holiday weekend. A fire about 80 miles southeast of Seattle has burned more than 23 square miles and led to new evacuation notices Saturday. About 3,800 homes were threatened, authorities said. Dozens of wildfires in Oregon were sending up large plumes of smoke, causing disruptions in holiday travel as roads close and shutting down camping areas. The weeklong heat wave was generated by high pressure over the West, the National Weather Service said. Forecasters said more heat could be expected when remnants of Tropical Storm Lidia move north from Mexico’s Baja California during the weekend.

Judge tosses most serious charges in fraternity death BELLEFONTE, Pa. — A judge threw out involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault charges Friday against members of a Penn State fraternity in the alcohol-related hazing death of a pledge, ordering 12 of the young men to stand trial on less serious counts. The ruling, issued without explanation by District Justice Allen Sinclair, was a stinging defeat for prosecutors in one of the biggest and most harrowing hazing cases ever brought in the U.S., built on hours of security camera footage and numerous text messages exchanged among fraternity brothers. “Obviously now the teeth have really been taken out of the commonwealth’s case,” said Michael Engle, defense attorney for Gary DiBileo, 21. Tim Piazza, 19, of Lebanon, New Jersey, died in February after guzzling vodka and beer at a series of drinking stations at the nowclosed Beta Theta Pi house and then falling head-first down the basement stairs. His frat brothers did not call an ambulance until the next morning. Piazza died a day later of injuries that included a fractured skull and damaged spleen. The judge’s decision followed a hard-fought, unusually long sevenday preliminary hearing involving a platoon of
defense attorneys who said Piazza’s death was a tragic accident. In his ruling, the judge threw out all charges against four defendants. As a result, 14 frat brothers in all will stand trial. Two of them previously agreed to waive their right to a preliminary hearing. No trial date was set.
Chestnut to defend wing-eating title BUFFALO, N.Y. — Champion eater Joey Chestnut is set to defend his title as chicken wing champion at the National Buffalo Wing Festival. The annual festival takes place each Labor Day weekend. The chicken wing-eating championship is set for Sunday. Last year, Chestnut ate 188 wings in 12 minutes to claim first place. The winner will collect $2,500. The festival features several other contests, including an amateur wing-eating contest, traditional and creative sauce-offs, an extra hot wing-eating contest and a Miss Buffalo Wing pageant. Chestnut won the annual hot dog eating contest on the Fourth of July in Coney Island held by Nathan’s Famous, chowing down 72 hot dogs with buns in 10 minutes.
Library: Fines can’t be paid with Chuck E. Cheese tokens DANVERS, Mass. — A Massachusetts library is reminding residents that Chuck E. Cheese tokens are not an ac-

Peabody Institute Library in Danvers, Massachusetts, posted on Facebook this week the library has had a surge of people attempting to pay fines and printing fees with tokens from Chuck E. Cheese and Bonkers— a Peabody amusement center — this summer. The library says the tokens are not legal tender and cannot be accepted. Bookkeeper Sue Kontos tell The Salem News she had counted three Chuck E. Cheese tokens one day before realizing they weren’t real money. Chuck E. Cheese is a restaurant and entertainment center for kids featuring arcade and video games. The company has been phasing out the use of coins.

1 dead, 1 injured in double shooting KOSCIUSKO — The Kosciusko Police Department is investigating a double shooting that has left one person dead. Officials tell WLBT-TV the shooting happened Friday about 10:48 p.m. in Kosciusko. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a 47-year-old black woman with a gunshot wound to her face and arm. A 61-year-old black man was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his abdomen and arm. The man, identified as Billy Ray Johnson, was pronounced dead at Baptist Attala by Attala County Coroner Sam Bell. The unnamed woman was later taken from that facility by helicopter to UMMC in Jackson. Her current condition was unknown. The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Central Mississippi Crimestoppers at 601355-8477.
Ex-prison guard sentenced for bribery JACKSON — A former
federal corrections officer in Mississippi has been sentenced to a year in prison for bribery. Senior U.S. District Judge William H. Barbour on Thursday sentenced 27-year-old Julius Pearson, who previously pleaded guilty in the case. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi, in a news release, said Pearson in August 2016 began smuggling tobacco into the federal prison in Yazoo County where he worked as a corrections officer. Pearson was paid about $10,000 by inmates and others for delivering the contraband to inmates inside the facility.
Vicksburg in good financial shape, annual audit shows VICKSBURG — A city in Mississippi has received good news about its finances. Vicksburg officials heard a report last week about the city’s audit for the budget year that ended Sept. 30, 2016. The Vicksburg Post reports that the city’s net worth increased from $112 million to $115.2 million with total assets of $199 million. Total
liabilities were $92.3 million. Vicksburg ended the budget year with a fund balance of $25.3 million. Auditor Booker T. Camper says the police department and municipal court should do a better job of keeping up with cash receipts. He characterizes this as a minor issue. Mayor George Flaggs Jr. says Vicksburg has increased its cash reserves and has left some city jobs unfilled. He says those changes have helped the overall financial picture.
Mississippi man sentenced to life in killing of 4-year-old COLUMBUS — A Mississippi man has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to killing the 4-year-old son of the woman he was dating. Patrick Chambers was arrested in January 2015 in the shooting death of Brayden Barksdale. Investigators say the boy was killed with a rifle. Chambers, 30, pleaded guilty to capital murder Friday and was sentenced to life without parole as a habitual offender.

WASHINGTON — U.S. job growth slowed in August as employers added 156,000 jobs, though still enough to suggest that most businesses remain confident in an economy now in its ninth year of recovery from the Great Recession. The unemployment rate ticked up from 4.3 percent to a still-low 4.4 percent, the Labor Department said Friday. The government also revised down its estimate of job growth in June and July by a combined 41,000, leaving an average monthly gain this year of a solid 176,000. Taken as a whole, Friday’s jobs report pointed to an economy that is still steadily generating jobs, though at a less brisk pace than it did earlier in the recovery from the recession. With fewer people looking for work, fewer jobs are being filled. In addition, monthly jobs reports can be volatile — especially figures for August, when employers are gearing up for the start of fall and the government can’t always precisely factor the changes into its employment data. “It’s more noise than
signal,” Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at tax consultant RSM, said of Friday’s report. “Focus on the longer-term trend of growth in employment.” One persistent soft spot in the job market is pay raises, which remain tepid. Average hourly pay rose just 2.5 percent over the 12 months that ended in August. Wage growth typically averages 3.5 percent to 4 percent annually when unemployment is this low. The economy has grown at a subpar annual pace of 2.1 percent during the first six months of 2017. Still, the August jobs report comes as Americans have grown more optimistic. A measure of consumer confidence in August hit its highest level in 16 years, the Conference Board said this week. Inflation is low. Consumer spending in July rose at its fastest pace in three months. The stock market is up 10 percent so far this year. One measure of factory orders suggests that business investment is increasing. Even the traumatic damage caused by Hurricane Harvey around the Houston region may not break the national economy’s stride. Gasoline prices are

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have pledged to overhaul the nation’s complex tax code. To slash taxes, they say they’ll curb a web of expensive deductions and credits to allow more revenue to flow to the government. Problem is, they’re likely to run into a wall of resistance from people and groups drawn together by a singular warning: Don’t touch my deduction. Major cherished tax breaks — from deductions for mortgage interest and charitable donations to incentives for 401(k)
contributions — have deep-pocketed supporters and lobbyists who are sure to fight to preserve those benefits. They add up to hundreds of billions of dollars in lost potential revenue that could otherwise go to rebuilding roads and bridges or social programs or even to help finance broader tax cuts for people and companies. “On every single item, there’s a group out there ready to battle,” says Thomas Cooke, a professor and tax expert at Georgetown University. This makes the outlook thorny for a tax rewrite effort this fall, a Trump priority that Republicans consider a political im-

The August jobs report showed that roughly the same proportion of people last month as in July either had a job or were looking for one. Anyone not actively looking for a job isn’t considered part of the labor force and isn’t counted as unemployed. This so-called labor force participation rate held at 62.9 percent. The participation rate has tumbled from 66 percent over the past decade, but the decline reflects in part an aging U.S. population that is retiring. Some economists say that in light of that trend, a stable participation rate is a positive sign for the economy. One of the leading sources of job growth last month was manufacturing, which added 36,000. An additional 28,000 jobs came from construction and 20,200 from the health care sector. By contrast, governments shed 9,000 jobs. But increased consumer sentiment failed to increase retail hiring. Restaurants and bars — often a major source of hiring — added just 9,200 jobs. Retail stores and auto dealers added just 800 jobs after having lost 1,900 in July.

rising as the flooding from Harvey knocked out refineries and ports, but rebuilding efforts in the coming months could provide a stimulative benefit. Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial, predicts that job growth in the coming months “will weaken substantially” in the wake of Harvey, only to rebound quickly as workers who were temporarily laid off are rehired. Overall, hiring this year has averaged 176,000 a month, roughly in line with 2016’s average of 187,000. August was the 83rd straight month of job gains. The slowing job gains, coupled with uncommonly low inflation, might make the Federal Reserve hesitant to raise its key short-term interest rate by December, when many Fed watchers had foreseen the next rate hike. “The Fed has to be second-guessing December,” said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. Silvia said he thinks the economic effects of Harvey will likely begin to surface in the coming months for reports on industrial production, retail sales and applications for unemployment benefits.

perative looking ahead to next year’s midterm elections. The collapse of GOP health care legislation raises the stakes for taxes, with Trump’s team talking about action by year’s end. The president and the GOP agree on the broad goals: Simplifying the tax code, lowering the rate for corporations from the current 15-35 percent range, and bringing relief for the middle class. But details have to be filled in. “First, we need a tax code that is simple, fair and easy to understand,” Trump said Wednesday at a rally in Missouri. “That means getting rid of the loopholes and complexity that primarily benefit the wealthiest Americans and special interests.” Among the seemingly unassailable benefits, the most cherished may well be the deduction of interest paid on mortgages. Touted as a pillar in the promotion of homeownership, the benefit cost the government an estimated $77 billion in the budget year that ended last Sept. 30, according to Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation. The benefit allows homeowners to deduct up to $1 million in interest payments on a pri-
mary (and a secondary) residence. It is fiercely defended by the National Association of Realtors, which spent $64.8 million on lobbying on various issues last year including the mortgage deduction, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Roughly 28 million Americans deduct mortgage interest from their income taxes, with the biggest concentrations in the high housing-cost states of California, New York, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland, according to the Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. House Republicans say they’ve got a more efficient way to encourage home buying. Under their plan, the standard deduction would be increased from the current $12,600 for married couples filing jointly, for example, to $24,000. They argue that a majority of homeowners would no longer choose to itemize deductions and claim the mortgageinterest benefit. They’d be better off using the bigger standard deduction. Another possibility is halving the mortgage deduction to $500,000. That would surely set up a pitched battle.

Adopted brother has never been told about his origin
D E A R ABBY: My brother was adopted at birth through an agency, but he was never told. Abigail He’s in his now. Van Buren mid-50s We have no other sibDear Abby lings. Our parents never felt my brother was emotionally strong enough to accept the news of his adoption. Our father passed on years ago, and our mother is now elderly. From a health care point of view, I think my brother should know, but I don’t feel I have the right to tell him while Mom is living (she is adamant that he must not know, especially after so long). It seems wrong, however, to tell him after our parents are both dead and they can’t explain anything to him, and it may be too late for him to contact his birth parents. I’m sure he will be very angry, and I would prefer to keep the secret. Should I tell him he is adopted after our mother passes away? -- IN A QUANDARY DEAR QUANDARY: No, you should tell him NOW -- while it may be possible for him to get
the answers to the many questions he is sure to have from his mother.
DEAR ABBY: Many households no longer use landlines and rely on cellphones. It could save someone’s life if they would enter the phone number of the sheriff’s office of the county in which they reside to ensure there’s a backup to the frequently overloaded 911 system. This is important, especially if you have two homes. However, it’s also a good idea for people who own a single residence. In rural areas, it can take a long time to locate someone calling from a cellphone, which is no replacement for a landline in an emergency. — BE PREPARED DEAR PREPARED: Thank you for the suggestion. Many people forget that cellphones — unlike landlines — are not connected to a network from which their location will automatically appear on a screen when they call an emergency number. With cellphones, the caller must VERBALLY give the dispatcher the location of the emergency. DEAR ABBY: I want to let go of all past hurts, disappointments and bad things that have happened. I want them gone
from my life. I don’t want to walk around angry and bitter all the time, but I am taken all the way back to the original feelings when they are triggered. I want to truly forgive, whether it’s myself, others or even God. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. — TRYING TO LET IT GO DEAR TRYING: If you’re asking me for amnesia, I can’t provide it. What you’re experiencing is normal, as long as you don’t spend the majority of your time reflecting on past hurts and anger. When you catch yourself dwelling on long-gone painful incidents, do not waste your happier present by allowing them take up any more space in your here and now. Take a deep breath, release it, then tell yourself out loud, “That was then. This is NOW!” Then move from that location and concentrate on a different subject. I know it can be done, because I have done it. And if I can do it, anyone can. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re very sensitized to deviations from the norm. If one or two things are out of place, you’ll pick up on it right away and read it as a signal that there’s something very wrong — or very right — afoot. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Thoughts about your home, food, belongings, family and work will supersede everything love-related -- until tonight. Romance will seem to be (and indeed will be) what all of life swirls around. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your work will be art when it’s done. But right now, it’s art in progress. Tweaks, fixes and alterations are in order. Then rinse and repeat. This stage could take a while. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Small daily habits, such as doing one situp or saying hi to one new person, will open the way for a lifestyle change. You won’t believe the remarkable difference one seemingly minor but incredibly persistent gesture can make.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). These days, you’re a minimalist at heart. All you need is a purpose and a cellphone. But it doesn’t hurt to also have supportive friends you can share news and views with at the end of the day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll try to keep your word no matter what. In fact, you stress yourself so thoroughly over showing up strong that it makes you want to be even more careful about what you promise in the future. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If people would actually take your advice, their problem would most likely go away. Alas, they are not even asking today. Their bad. Withhold your unsolicited opinions, and focus on what will make your life better. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The person who gets flustered around you has good reason to. When one cares about making a connection, every move seems crucial. That’s a lot of pressure. In other words, no one wants to disappoint a crush. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re comfortable with who you are, so silliness ensues. Who cares if you’re being ridiculous? So much about life is ridiculous that you’re really just matching up with the nature of existence. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Social situations may be harder to understand today, but if you’re at a loss as to what to do next, just remind yourself that you can’t be expected to automatically know. Everything is a learning process. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re a mystery. It’s not because they don’t know you but because no matter how well they know you, there’s still more to discover. Enjoy your mysterious status, because it’s certainly working for you today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re confident in what you have to offer. Put a high price on it first and see what happens. The “price,” by the way, doesn’t have to be in dollars. For today, most exchanges that are worthwhile won’t be monetary.

MSU dominates Charleston Southern BY R.J. MORGAN Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Nick Fitzgerald threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Mississippi State to a 49-0 victory over Charleston Southern on Saturday in the season opener for both teams. Mississippi State racked up 555 yards of offense with 29 first downs and almost a 5050 split on yards rushing and passing. Such offensive chutzpah was to be expected from a Dan Mullen team, but the bigger surprise for Mississippi State was their defensive dominance. Charleston Southern mustered only 33 total yards and two first downs against an MSU defense that allowed
an average of 459 yards per game last season. Tougher competition looms, but with nine tackles for a loss, one sack and two safeties, the Bulldog unit carried the day. “That’s the type of defense I expect,” Mullen said. “We had 11 guys running to the ball even with a couple minutes left in game. We’ve not had that here.” MSU controlled the game from the opening kickoff, scoring 23 points and holding the Buccaneers to 15 yards of total offense in the first quarter. The Bulldogs led 35-0 at halftime and cruised in the second half. “It’s an FCS team, sure, but we came out and played today,” Mullen said. “Maybe it’s not a surprising result, but they can be. Other teams
have been surprised.” Fitzgerald was 16 for 29 for 239 yards, throwing touchdown passes to Gabe Myles and Deddrick Thomas. Aeris Williams led all rushers with 83 yards and a touchdown. Dontavian Lee also rushed for a touchdown.
us confidence to get in there with the film this week and get even better.” Charleston Southern: Clearly outmatched, CSU has multiple areas to address before they are competitive as an FBS team. The Buccaneers are 0-19 versus FBS schools.
The takeaway
Up next
Mississippi State: The Bulldogs avoided dropping a second straight opener and looked like a contender in the ultra-deep SEC West. Last year’s opening day loss to South Alabama underscored how much the team missed Dak Prescott, but Fitzgerald has matured mightily since then. “Last year it was a big deflation, a big letdown,” Fitzgerald said. “This gives
Mississippi State: The Bulldogs travel to Louisiana Tech next week for a second non-conference game, then host LSU the following Saturday in an early-season divisional sorting match. Charleston Southern: The Bucs head to South Carolina State for the second of three season-opening road tests on Saturday. First-year coach Mark Tucker will again be seeking his inaugural win.
Patterson’s 4 TDs propel Ole Miss past S. Alabama Associated Press
OXFORD — Mississippi quarterback Shea Patterson threw for 429 yards and four touchdowns, giving Matt Luke a successful debut as head coach as the Rebels defeated South Alabama 47-27 Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Luke’s successful opener provided a moment of relief for a program plagued with off-season issues. Head coach Hugh Freeze resigned in July after revelations surfaced regarding his personal conduct. The outcome of a prolonged NCAA investigation is scheduled to be resolved this month. Those concerns disap-
peared as Patterson completed touchdown throws of 71 and 77 yards to A.J. Brown in the opening three minutes of the second half. DeMarkus Lodge had touchdown receptions of 5 and 14 yards in the first and third quarters, respectively. Patterson finished 28-of35 as the Rebels rolled up 531 yards of total offense. The Rebels put it away on a 97-yard kickoff return touchdown by Jaylon Jones for an insurmountable 33-13 lead late in the third quarter. D’Vaughn Pennamon added a 2-yard touchdown run with 11:41 left to seal it. South Alabama quarterback Cole Garvin had touch-
down runs of 14 and 1 yards in the final nine minutes and a 30-yard touchdown pass to Jamarius Way in the first half. Garvin was 19 of 31 for 204 yards.
The takeaway South Alabama: The Jaguars were bidding for successive opening game upset wins over SEC opponents after winning at Mississippi State last season. The kicking game was solid with a pair of 20-yard field goals from Gavin Patterson. Punter Corliss Waitman had a 46.4-yard average on five punts. Ole Miss: Brown finished with 233 receiving yards, a
new school record, on eight receptions. Patterson shared the wealth by connecting with seven different receivers. The revamped Rebels defense, in Wesley McGriff’s debut as coordinator, turned in a solid statistical performance, but did not force any turnovers and had only one sack.
Up next South Alabama: The Jaguars of the FBS and Sun Belt Conference host No. 10 Oklahoma State on Saturday. Ole Miss: The Rebels host a second successive FBS opponent, Ohio Valley Conference member UT Martin, on Saturday.
Hayden shines as Arkansas tops Florida A&M Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Freshman Chase Hayden rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown in his collegiate debut as Arkansas opened its season with a 49-7 win over Florida A&M on Thursday night. Henre’ Tolliver added an 18-yard fumble return for a touchdown for the Razorbacks (1-0), who nearly notched their first shutout since 2014 in their first game since an offseason switch to a 3-4 defensive look. Hayden finished with 14 carries, becoming the first Arkansas player to top 100 yards rushing in his debut since Alex Collins did so to open the 2013 season. Austin Allen finished 14of-19 passing for 135 yards with a touchdown for Arkansas. Devwah Whaley added 60 yards rushing on 12 carries for the Razorbacks, and South Carolina transfer David Williams rushed for two touchdowns. Florida A&M quarterback Vince Jeffries connected with Brandon Norwood for a 7-yard touchdown in the
fourth quarter for the Rattlers’ lone score.
Missouri 72, Missouri State 43 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Drew Lock had a record-setting day for Missouri, throwing for 521 yards and seven touchdowns as the Tigers beat Missouri State 72-43 on Saturday in the season opener. The previous passing touchdown record was five, shared by Chase Daniel, Maty Mauk and Lock. The previous yardage record was 480, set by Jeff Handy against Oklahoma State in 1992. While Lock’s exploits were a nice bonus for Missouri, the fact he was still piling up statistics in the fourth quarter was a troubling sign that the MU defense couldn’t get enough stops to turn a game against an FCS opponent into a blowout. Missouri scored on the first play from scrimmage. Lock threw a quick perimeter pass to Johnathon Johnson, and Johnson veered around a downfield block from Dimetrios Mason and raced 65 yards down the right sideline
to the end zone. The next two drives also resulted in touchdowns and required only two and four plays, respectively, as Lock continued dissect the Bears’ secondary. Missouri State was a bit more deliberate but no less effective early, scoring touchdowns on their first three drives — including touchdown runs of 75 and 34 yards by Calan Crowder — and held a 21-20 lead after the first quarter. The Bears continued to rip off big plays, and the biggest was Malik Earl’s 89yard tackle-breaking touchdown reception on a thirdand-24 play in the second quarter. The Tigers led 48-35 at halftime. The scoring pace slowed a bit in the second half, but Missouri finished with a school-record 815 yards against a team coached by Dave Steckel, a former Mizzou defensive coordinator. Missouri State’s Peyton Huslig completed 24 of 35 passes for 353 yards and two touchdowns. Earl had eight catches for 163 yards, and Crowder rushed 11 times for
124 yards. Lock completed 21 of 34 passes. J’Mon Moore had four catches for 187 yards and two touchdowns. Missouri’s Damarea Crockett carried 18 times for 202 yards and two touchdowns, and he could have had one more score. On a breakaway run in the third quarter, he unnecessarily leaped into the end zone from the 2-yard line and was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. The touchdown was wiped out and the ball was moved back to Missouri State’s 17-yard line. The Tigers settled for a field goal.
Kentucky 24, Southern Miss 17 HATTIESBURG — Stephen Johnson threw for 176 yards and a touchdown and Kentucky’s defense recovered two crucial fumbles in the second half to lead the Wildcats over Southern Mississippi 24-17 on Saturday. Kentucky was clinging to a 17-10 lead in the third quarter when Darius West slammed his helmet into SouthPlease see ROUNDUP | 11A
FWS Duck breeding populations report released BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Recently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) released its report on 2017 Trends in Duck Breeding Populations, based on surveys conducted in May and early June by the FWS and the Canadian Wildlife Service. Overall, duck numbers in the survey area remain high. Total populations were estimated at 47.3 million breeding ducks in the traditional survey area, which is 34 percent above the 19552016 long-term average. Last year’s estimate was 48.4 million birds. The projected mallard fall flight index is 12.9 million birds, similar to the 2016 estimate of 13.5 million. The main determining factor for duck breeding success is wetland and upland habitat conditions in the key breeding landscapes of the prairies and the boreal forest.

Corner By: James L. Cummins
Conditions observed across the U.S. and Canadian survey areas during the 2017 breeding population survey were generally similar to last year with a few exceptions. The total pond estimate for the U.S. and Canada combined was 6.1 million, which is 22 percent above the 2016 estimate of 5.0 million and 17 percent above to the long-term average of 5.2 million. “The surveys indicate that wetland conditions and populations of most frequently harvested ducks remain above the long-term average, and for most species, populations were at or above those from last year,” said DU Chief Scientist Tom Moor-
man. “This is great news for waterfowlers who can now turn their attention to preparing habitat, tuning up dogs and relentlessly watching the weather forecasts for the onset of fall and winter weather that will push the birds on their annual southward migration. “Hunters may notice in the report that mallards declined 11 percent, or about 1.3 million birds, from 2016. The bulk of that appears to be related to drier conditions in the Canadian parklands region, where the surveys detected about 0.6 million fewer mallards. Overall, mallard populations remain in great shape, and FWS estimates the mallard fall flight will be similar to last year. “Hunters should always remember that habitat and populations are going to vary over time, so we must keep focused on habitat conservation efforts over the long
term. Ultimately, we need to maintain landscapes so that when precipitation and other conditions are right, the ducks will respond, produce more ducks and provide us all with a nice return on our conservation investments.” The spring surveys provide the scientific basis for many management programs across the continent, including hunting regulations. Individual states set their hunting seasons within a federal framework of season length, bag limits and dates. Hunters should check the rules in their states for final dates and bag limits. (James L.

ern Miss quarterback Kwadra Griggs’ arm, forcing a fumble that Denzil Ware scooped up and ran 20 yards for the touchdown. Then with the Wildcats leading 24-17 in the fourth quarter, the Kentucky defense killed another Southern Miss drive when Chris Westry forced a fumble that was recovered by Courtney Love at midfield.
Michigan 33, Florida 17 ARLINGTON, Texas — Quinn Nordin became the first Michigan kicker to make two 50-yard field goals in the same game, one of them in a quick go-ahead spurt after halftime, and the 11thranked Wolverines won 33-17 Saturday to hand 17th-ranked Florida its first season-opening loss in nearly three decades. The Gators had won 27 consecutive season openers, the nation’s longest such streak, since a home loss to Mississippi in 1989. Michigan trailed 17-13 at halftime before scoring three times in the first 6 minutes of the second half. After Karan Higdon’s 3-yard TD run capped a half-opening 75-yard, 10-yard drive, Ambry Thomas forced and recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. That set up a 30-yard field goal by Quinn, who then made a 50-yarder after Michigan recovered another fumble. Nordin made four field goals, including a 55-yarder in the first half. He missed two attempts wide right in the fourth quarter, one of those from 52 yards. The nation’s No. 1 kicker in the 2016 recruiting class, Nordin had initially committed to Penn State but signed with the Wolverines after a home visit that included

a sleepover by Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. Florida’s only touchdowns came when Duke Dawson and CJ Henderson returned interceptions for touchdowns. Those came on consecutive throws by Michigan starting quarterback Wilton Speight in the second quarter.
Mississippi State 49, Charleston Southern 0 STARKVILLE — Nick Fitzgerald threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Mississippi State to a 49-0 victory over Charleston Southern on Saturday in the season opener for both teams. Mississippi State racked up 555 yards of offense with 29 first downs and almost a 5050 split on yards rushing and passing. Such offensive chutzpah was to be expected from a Dan Mullen team, but the bigger surprise for Mississippi State was their defensive dominance. Charleston Southern mustered only 33 total yards and two first downs against an MSU defense that allowed an average of 459 yards per game last season. Tougher competition looms, but with nine tackles for a loss, one sack and two safeties, the Bulldog unit carried the day. MSU controlled the game from the opening kickoff, scoring 23 points and holding the Buccaneers to 15 yards of total offense in the first quarter. The Bulldogs led 35-0 at halftime and cruised in the second half. Fitzgerald was 16 for 29 for 239 yards, throwing touchdown passes to Gabe Myles and Deddrick Thomas. Aeris Williams led all rushers with 83 yards and a touchdown. Dontavian Lee also rushed for a touchdown.
No. 1 Pliskova rallies at U.S. Open; Nadal, Federer in action BY BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press
NEW YORK — Karolina Pliskova can still win the U.S. Open and keep her No. 1 ranking, thanks to a big comeback Saturday. Pliskova fought off a match point in the second set and rallied to beat No. 27 Zhang Shuai of China 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 to advance to the fourth round. The runner-up last year needs to at least return to the final for a chance to remain atop the rankings when the year’s final major tournament is over, and it appeared for a while that the Czech wouldn’t get close. But she stayed alive while trailing 4-5 in the second set, then pulled out the third after receiving treatment from a trainer on her right forearm between sets. “Last Grand Slam of the season and knowing you played fine last year, you just want to play that good again,” Pliskova said. “I don’t feel like I’m playing that good again, but I’m still in the draw, actually, so I’m not going to be that sad.” Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza and No. 4 seed Elina Svitolina are the other women who can still get to No. 1. Svitolina was in action later Saturday against American Shelby Rog-
ers, who won the longest women’s match in U.S. Open history on Thursday when she beat No. 25 Daria Gavrilova in 3 hours, 33 minutes. Pliskova, who fell to Angelique Kerber in the 2016 final, would need to win the tournament if Muguruza reaches the semifinals and loses. If Muguruza advances to the final, Pliskova would be eliminated from contention for the WTA’s top ranking. “It’s not only about the points, but I just felt I really can play well here,” Pliskova said. Upsets have scrambled one half of the men’s bracket, but everything is mostly as expected on the other side. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were trying to keep it that way Saturday. The two favorites are back in action with third-round matches in Arthur Ashe Stadium, where seeded Americans Madison Keys and CoCo Vandeweghe also were on the schedule. Federer faces No. 31 Feliciano Lopez in a night match. The fivetime U.S. Open champion has won all 12 meetings but hasn’t played his top tennis yet in this tournament. He’s played consecutive five-setters to open a major tournament for the first time.

Daily Corinthian • 1B
Rienzi native, businessman has many passions BY CAROL HUMPHREYS For the Daily Corinthian
David Duncan and his nephew, Erik Kelly, recently headed to a hunting lodge in north Missouri that he co-owns. The two avid hunters were getting the lodge ready for the upcoming hunting season. Along with music, big game hunting is one of Duncan’s biggest passions. His Pickwick lifestyle is also another aspect of his life in which he is very passionate. The businessman, who owns and operates Duncan Services in Rienzi, will be the first to say all his various interests makes time a precious commodity. He has not only expanded the trucking business he began in his mid-20s, but has continued to pursue his first love, music. He founded and continues to perform with his poplar party band, Shagadoo. During hunting season, he is a hunting guide and produces videography of hunting trips in the Midwest. When he finds time, the avid boater enjoys his cabin, his friends and getting one of his four boats out on Pickwick Lake. On Sunday mornings, the longtime member of the Pickwick community, can be found ministering at the new non-denominational church he helped establish: Grace Chapel at Freddie T’s. “My Pickwick venture started when I had a motorhome and campsite for about six years at Goat Island,” said Duncan. “I just loved Pickwick and wanted to be a Pickwick resident so I eventually bought property in Sleepy Hollow subdivision and built a cabin there.” A powerboat enthusiast, Duncan bought his first power boat from David Woods, owner of Pier 57 Marine at Pickwick. He now owns a MTI powerboat, a 42-ft. Fountain powerboat, a Triton boat and a fishing boat. “I’m a water fanatic,” he

Hardin County native and country music star Darryl Worley made a recent guest appearance at Grace Chapel, where David Duncan serves as worship leader and musical director. said. The avid boater has participated in “poker runs” including the recent Pickwick poker run. He has sentimental ties to the memorial for Carey Downs and Jeremy Floyd, both of who were close friends. The music lover also has close ties to Freddie T’s, which he considers a second home. “As a teenager, I played music at River’s Edge ,which later became Freddie T’s when Woods bought it,” said Duncan. “I’ve also been friends with the current owners — Marsha Fisher, Joel Long and Rhonda Dobbs — for a long time.” The musician said his love of music began as a kid singing gospel music with his mom and dad at the church they pastored. They had a full band with drums, bass and keyboard and were called “Gerald and Brenda Duncan and the Voice of Praise.” Duncan’s sister, Shelia Duncan, currently a teacher at
Biggersville High School, sang with them. “I grew up as a preacher’s kid at Faith Temple church in Jacinto. My mom and dad pastored there for 40 years,” he said. “Later on, I went to Northeast Mississippi Community College where I sang with Campus Country for three years.” After graduating NEMCC in 1996, Duncan continued to study music at the University of North Alabama in Florence, Ala. “During this time I started a cover party band and we toured all the college towns in the region in our bus. I still play in the band, playing shows about 15 times a year. It is something I’ve always done and enjoyed,” said the music lover. Duncan has recorded in major studios in Nashville, Florence and Memphis. He has played with well-known professional singers, including country music entertainer Darryl Worley, Grammy-winner
Brent Mason and Grammy-nominated country music singer/songwriter Johnathan Singleton and his band, The Grove. The talented musician plays a variety of instruments, including an electric guitar, piano, bass guitar and drums. His favorite genre is “Motown” or soul music, with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson being two of his favorite musical artists. The Rienzi resident began his trucking business after he got out of college, got married and settled. “I felt I wanted a different style of life. It’s difficult to make a living in the music business in north Mississippi,” he said. Duncan, 41, has owned and operated his transportation company for the past 14 years. Now single, he lives on what he calls his “farm” in Rienzi where his recording studio is also located. He does personal musical recordings at his studio, “The Lodge,” and is also CEO and founder
of “Wackem & Stackem Outdoors” where he films hunting and fishing expeditions based out of his lodge in Missouri. The outdoorsman said his outdoor adventures were fueled as a kid hunting with his uncles who were big deer hunters in Rienzi. Duncan now goes after big game in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. He said his biggest buck was a 12-pointer with a Boone and Crockett scoring of 183 inches. “My hunting partner and long-time friend, Shane Rowe, was with me when we were in the trees and harvested that deer in Pike County, Ill. It was a once in a life-time experience,” he said. The multi-talented singer’s newest venture is Grace Chapel, a community church based at Freddie T’s Restaurant and Beach Club. The church held its first Sunday service Memorial Day weekend. Duncan is worship leader and musical
director at Grace Chapel and leads the Grace Chapel Worship Band which plays contemporary Christian music. “My musical roots have always been in Christian music and throughout the years I’ve returned off and on back to it. However, I haven’t participated in it on a steady basis until Grace Chapel,” said the musical director. Along with Don Elliott, former pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Corinth, Duncan helped create the church’s unique format. “I guess you can say this is a new adventure in Christ,” said the music minister. “At Grace Chapel, we are hoping to provide an alternative worship option with a more casual and positive spiritual experience.” On this particular day, Duncan was pursuing his hunting passion as he traveled to his lodge in Missouri where he sells hunting trips. “I’m totally addicted to the outdoors,” said the avid hunter. He glanced over at his riding partner, who grew up hunting with his uncle in Rienzi. “Erik’s been in the middle of all of it since he was born,” he said affectionately. Though he keeps busy with all his ventures, Duncan said he has a blessed life and thankful for every day in which he is blessed. One of his favorite gospel songs is “He’s Still Working on Me” by Bill and Gloria Gather: “In the mirror of His Word, reflections that I see; Make me wonder why He never gave up on me. He loves me as I am, and helps me when I pray, Remember He is the Potter, I’m the clay.” (A resident of Corinth, Carol Humphreys is a freelance writer and contributor to the Daily Corinthian, Crossroads Magazine and Pickwick Profiles.)
Taut Sulfur Springs weaves a tale of can’t-miss suspense BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“Sulfur Springs: A Novel” by William Kent Krueger c.2017, Atria $26.00/ 306 pages There’s no such thing as a vacation. Not for you, anyway. You can’t escape work: even when you’re off the clock, you’re on the job, thinking about projects, heading off problems, solving conundrums or, in the new book “Sulfur Springs” by William Kent Krueger, solving crimes. Bad news usually starts with a phone call, as every parent knows, but the call that came to the home of retired Tamarack County Sheriff Cork O’Connor was different - the look on Cork’s new wife, Rainy’s, face was clear about that. She’d received a message from her son, Peter, and though it was staticky and near-unintelligible, two words were plain: “Rodriguez” and “killed.” Alarmed at the message and the fact that Peter wasn’t answering his phone, Rainy and Cork rushed to Arizona, near the Mexican border where, years before, Peter had spent three months in a tony Arizona rehab center. Once he’d finished treatment, Peter stuck around, got a job, and had been living in the area
William Kent Krueger delivers the suspense in new novel. for some time but, after inquiring, Cork discovered that no one claimed to know a Peter Bisonette. Peter’s photo and his physical description drew faux-blank looks, but the local Border patrol seemed intent on following Cork and Rainy in their search for him… When Cork began to hear whispers of danger attached to his stepson’s name, and the remote starter on their rental Jeep turned the vehicle into a fireball, he and Rainy knew the whispers were true. Peter, it appeared, had
his mother’s soft heart and had become a “Desert Angel” for illegal immigrants. His presence, therefore and for many reasons, was unwelcome in Sulfur Springs, and finding him (or his body) meant going deep into the desert. The unforgiving Arizona terrain was nothing like back home in Minnesota . The people in Sulfur Springs were equally unyielding, but Cork couldn’t find Peter without help. The question was: who could he trust? “Sulfur Springs” may seem like something dif-
ferent – and it is, mostly. As a “Cork O’Connor Mystery,” it maintains the aura of Minnesota Nice, 10,000 Lakes, and lush green forests that other novels in this series have. Admittedly, its premise is an otherwise bland-tasting blue-plate special of plot line (illegal immigration and drug smuggling) but here’s the deliciousness: it’s served with a side dish of sand, cactus and nail-biting thriller. That last part will make fans take notice: the homegrown crook you’ve come to expect is gone,
replaced by a bigger, wider web of worse. Furthermore, author William Kent Krueger’s signature character, a widower for many years, is now married and readers aren’t entirely led to embrace his new wife; she has a dark past that hints of something untold. Even Cork himself has changed with the wedding: he’s edgier and angrier. Hard-
er, even. Everyone feels subtly, urgently, notquite-comfortable here, and the mood is as prickly as an Arizona cactus because of it. That leads to a book that’s noose-taut and totally un-let-go-able, a can’t-miss for fans and a new obsession for new readers. Skip “Sulfur Springs”? There’s no such thing.
