While college and military representatives were present, Bonnie Hatch was on hand representing the Job Corps. “We like to let them know that there are options if they decide not to go to college right away and if they would like to work and learn a trade,� said Hatch.

Organizations represented included: Alcorn County Circuit Clerk, Alcorn County Electric Power Association, Avectus Healthcare Solutions, Baptist College of Health Sciences, Blue Mountain College, Caterpillar Remanufacturing, Corinth Academy of Cosmetology, Corinth CocaCola, Corinth-Tupelo JATC, Farmers and Merchants Bank, Job Corps/Alutiig Commercial Enterprise, Lane

The solution to a couple of recent Corinth home burglaries was no farther away than next door.

Occurring on the same date, the unrelated cases involved neighbors targeting neighbors.

In a burglary at a Third Street residence reported on Sept. 18, a suspect also took a motor vehicle. The neighbor accused of planning the crime is Candi Coln, 47, of Third Street. She was arrested Monday and is charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit a crime — one stemming from the breakin and one from the car theft, said Capt. Dell Green.

Harold Ramsey, 60, no address on record, is charged with motor vehicle theft, and John Baswell II, 30, of County Road 300, Glen, is charged with burglary of a dwelling. Ramsey and Baswell were arrested on Friday.

Green said the stolen vehicle was recovered at a residence on County Road 750 on Thursday, and the police department developed information that three individuals were involved.

Police recovered the property stolen from the home.

Baswell was released on bond. Coln and Ramsey remained in custody Tuesday afternoon. Ramsey was out of jail on bond for a prior burglary of a commercial building charge involving storage buildings.

In the other burglary reported on Sept. 18, a Forest School Road residence was targeted.

The police department arrested Mauri Mills, 52, of For-

While an increasing pool of students taking the test in recent years has affected scores, ACT results among Corinth’s latest graduating class saw improvement.

The average of 20.2 for this year’s CHS graduates included increases in each of the four sections of the college entrance exam. English had the largest increase, going from 19.3 to 20.5. Math rose from 19.4 to 19.8, reading from 19.6 to 20.2, and science from 19.7 to 20.1. “There are some significant gains there� for English and reading, said Superintendent Lee Childress. “Reading is the base for this ACT test. If you are not a strong reader, you are not going to have that performance.�

The district expects the improvement to continue as the result of emphasis on requiring students to respond analytically to written passages.

The number of students meeting the ACT benchmark scores for college success continue to show room for improvement, with 21 percent meeting the overall college and career readiness standards, compared to 12 percent for Mississippi. The benchmarks are English, 18; college algebra, 22; social sciences, 22; and biology, 23. The number of Corinth students

Seniors get a look at options

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn School District high school seniors got a chance to glimpse some possibilities for the future.

Businesses, industries, trade schools, community colleges and universities, government agencies, and military personnel were all on hand Tuesday morning at the Mississippi State University Extension Service building in Corinth to provide giveaways, information and answer questions from high school seniors from all three Alcorn County high schools — Alcorn Central, Kossuth and Biggersville.

Students were greeted at the door of the MSU Extension Center building with information sheets with advice on how to conduct oneself in a professional interview, including how to dress and present oneself, tips to complete a job application, how to write a cover letter, how

to write a resume and even how to follow up after an interview. “Today’s event was designed to help students familiarize themselves with options available to them after high school,� said Jennifer Koon, CTE Counselor, Alcorn Career and Technology Center.

Students could wander through the facility and ask questions and collect information and giveaways such as candies, notepads, pens and a variety of other items.

The seniors were given the opportunity to explore options in industry, college, military and there were businesses there representing services or other choices.

Banks such as Trustmark , Regions, Farmers and Merchants and Renasant made students aware of important decisions which would eventually need to be made.

Biggersville High School will host its first Bigg Bash Festival on Monday, Oct. 2 — a revival of sorts — to raise funds to repair and renovate the old auditorium.

The event, which Principal Pete Seago said will become an annual event, runs from 5 to 8 p.m. on the campus between the elementary and high schools. Events at the Bigg Bash will include a silent auction, a local talent showcase, blowups for little and big kids, a mechanical bull, sports throws, a dunking booth, games, face painting and much more. Tickets will be $1 each.

Hamburger plates will be available for $5 per person, including burger, chips, dessert and drink. Tickets can be purchased in the school office. Free

Biggersville alumnus Maurice Stafford visited the school last week and toured the auditorium with teachers at the school who are also alumni. According to teacher Deborah Jackson, they reminisced about plays, pageants and festivals held in the old building. Some remembered the auditorium being divided into classrooms temporarily when the school needed more space. “We are hoping former Biggersville students and faculty will support the cause and help us make use of this historic auditorium again,� she said.

of our junior and high school football programs.

Both are undefeated.”

Funds from this year’s festival will support repair and renovation of the old auditorium, which once served as the hub for the old annual fall festival held yearly until the late 70s as a fundraiser, according to BHS Bookkeeper Carolyn Hamlin, who also serves as secretary of the BHS Alumni Association. “This was a big social event of the year back then. Way back when, all events were held in the auditorium, even graduation when the student body was much smaller and before the gymnasium was built.

One corner served as the library.”

Renowned former Lady Lion Head Coach and Alumni Myrna McNair recalls the auditorium’s role in everyday life years ago. “The auditorium once was a very important part of the school, from first through twelfth grades and for the community. That’s where all school and community events were held. Its size makes it perfect, even today, for small events that allow for more of an

intimate setting than the gym.”

Hamlin, McNair, brothers Raymond and Ed Settle, and other alumni helped piece together a bit of the history of the old school and auditorium. In search of a building date for the old school, which faces U.S. 45 South, the Settle brothers referred back to their dad’s school days. “He moved from New Hope School to Biggersville the first year it opened. They moved all the kids over there.” That was around a century ago.

The school, according to several alumni, holds significance in history because a portion of the old school facility was built through the Works Progress Administration (WPA). WPA was a program implemented under the New Deal by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during The Great Depression. As one local historian explained, “The program helped put people back to work and money back in people’s pockets.” This same fellow said his grandfather was the bus driver -- of a wagon and mule -- for the New Hope School when the students were moved

Biggersville students gear up for the first Bigg Bash, set for Monday Oct. 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. Events include a silent auction, games, sports throws, concessions, a mechanical bull, and a dunking booth.

He said the first graduating class for BHS was in 1927.

“We have heard so many interesting stories, but we have had a difficult time nailing down dates,” Seago said. “If anyone has information about the building project dates at the school, we would love to have it so we can com-

pile some of the history of the auditorium and the old school.”

The principal said the auditorium has been closed for many years because of the needed work on the facility and because of safety issues. “With a wooden stage, floor and walls and tall windows on each side, the space

Documentary revisits Vietnam War “The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.” -- Sen. George McGovern (D-SD) Filmmakers Ken Burns and Cal Lynn Novick have performed Thomas a vital public service in making their documentary “The Columnist Vietnam War” for PBS. Given the division that war caused in America, it is a pretty fair chronicling of the way things were half a century ago. The film brought back a lot of mostly bad memories to people of my generation.

Chief among them was the unfairness of those drafted to fight. The film notes a disproportionate number of African Americans were taken from inner cities. I saw that in my company at Fort Gordon, Georgia, where the few white men, besides me, were poor West Virginians.

I had recently flunked out of my freshman year at American University and was listed as 1A, prime draft material. Those who remained in college or those who suddenly discovered an interest in The Almighty and enrolled in divinity school, remained deferred.

A woman I knew at the draft board called to say my number was about to come up and urged me to make arrangements.

I was working as a copyboy at NBC News in Washington at the time and I asked the Pentagon correspondent if he knew someone I could speak to about a good assignment. He did and I wound up “fighting communists” with Armed Forces Radio in New York. Few others had such connections, which was also unfair to them. I was from a conservative family that was supposed to hate communists, but the Vietnam War, even in the mid’60s, increasingly appeared to me more like Custer’s last stand, not World War II. The film notes the failure of generals and politicians at all levels. John F. Kennedy was concerned that pulling advisers from Vietnam might hurt his re-election chances in 1964. After his assassination, Lyndon Johnson had the same concern, and listened to generals trained in World War II tactics, which were wrong for Vietnam.

When Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara wrote a private memo to LBJ in 1967, expressing his belief that the war could not be won, Johnson shuffled him off to the World Bank. It would be two decades before McNamara spoke publicly about his doubts and confessed his misjudgments, too late for the nearly 60,000 noble and faithful patriots who were killed fighting what they were told was a war to stop the spread of communism.

Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.), who challenged Johnson for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination and eventually forced him from the race, gave a speech in Chicago on December 2, 1967, that sounded like surrender to “America: love it or leave it” supporters of the war, but in hindsight it rings true.

“A war which is not defensible even in military terms, which runs contrary to the advice of our greatest generals -- Eisenhower, Ridgway, Bradley, and MacArthur -- all of whom admonished us against becoming involved in a land war in Asia. Events have proved them right, as estimate after estimate as to the time of success and the military commitment necessary to success has had to be revised -- always upward: more troops, more extensive bombing, a widening and intensification of the war. Extension and intensification have been the rule, and projection after projection of success have been proved wrong.”

Again, the bravery of our military was never in doubt, but misjudgments by egomaniacal politicians are the real lessons of Vietnam.

Current and future generations should watch this documentary and learn from the lessons of Vietnam, which, as evidenced by more recent wars, we apparently have not yet fully internalized.

Prayer for today Eternal God, help me to realize that life is not only endless but, whether I live in love and obedience, or wait in neglect and indifference, that I can never separate myself from thee. May I be diligent in worthy endeavors to do my best for thee. Amen.

A verse to share For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

—Esther 4:14

Opinion

Mark Boehler, 4A • Wednesday, September 27, 2017 editor Corinth, Miss.

‘Ignore’ muscle needs some exercise OXFORD — A friend wellschooled in all things biblical said not long ago, “Social media may not be able to make the blind see, but it certainly allows the dumb to speak.”

His modification of Matthew 11:5 (also Isaiah 35:5) was irreverent, insensitive and politically incorrect. It’s also fairly accurate, but today’s message is for those who find it offensive: You can ignore it.

We don’t flex that muscle nearly as often as we should.

Almost every day the media, social and otherwise, blow up over one incident or another.

People freak out over who stands and who doesn’t for the National Anthem.

A commotion sparked when one patron visited a home décor store and saw a stalk of cotton blossoms for sale. She thought reflected poor judgment because it was a reminder of the horrid history of slavery. Via Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, the patron shared her outrage.

Now a couple of points: (1) The cotton incident may or may not have happened. A competitor, a fired employee, a social scientist may have concocted the whole thing to cause trouble or conduct an experiment by studying reactions. That happens

more than we know. (2) If it did happen, the first person with the option to ignore was Charlie the shopper.

Mitchell Some observers say Columnist people have become hypersensitive and more prone to activism.

Maybe, but taking offense has long been a part of our culture. It can be a good thing. If you think about it, taking offense is what ended slavery.

Still, consider this: Before the internet, the patron might have shared his or her thoughts about the cotton stalks with the manager, with a few friends or even written a strongly worded letter to the home office. But with social media, as it happened, tens of thousands chimed in with amens or cleverness or vitriol.

This is where traditional media comes into the picture. Reporters instinctively respond to conflict the way flies are drawn to honey.

Readers and viewers will give time and attention to a controversy whether the stakes are high or don’t exist at all.

The media need eyes and ears, and so we have come

to a time when social media drives traditional media.

It wasn’t always this way.

Many years ago, a wonderful and openly daft gentleman came into the newsroom where I worked and approached an editor. The man said he was on a mission. God had told him to reconstruct, in detail, the Ark of the Covenant and parade it through the main street of town. The editor, also a Christian and well-schooled in all things biblical, responded, “God told you to do this?” The visitor nodded. The editor said, “Well, I’ll keep my ears open, and if God tells me to put this in the newspaper I will.” The man left, perfectly happy.

Today, the situation might be different. If it started on social media it could go viral and the traditional media, deprived of the opportunity to filter for newsworthiness, would dive right in.

Scholars who are tracking this shift in the social dynamic have adopted the word “amplication.” It’s a good word, but context matters.

Sellers of breakfast cereal or shoes or light bulbs like it when their products are amplified on social media. Sales rise.

Similarly, amplification of good deeds and humanitarian causes, such as the un-

precedented opportunities to donate to help those in the path of hurricanes, is a good thing.

The down side is that those who drive discord and division have the same platforms. They may be small in numbers, but they are amplified, too. And it’s our nature to react more strongly to that with which we disagree than that with which we agree. Said more directly, social media has at least equal power to bring us together as it does to drive us apart.

Also, there’s no voice of moderation or solutionseeking, as was true, at least in part, back when traditional media set the agenda. The more outrageous the comment, the more popular.

What could prove decisive is whether we ramp up our power to ignore. In the old days, perhaps, we were better at changing the channel or turning the page.

Social media draws people in, especially people at the extremes. Not every provocation requires or even deserves a response.

‘Sovereignty’ is not a dirty word To listen to the commentary, Donald Trump used an inappropriate term at the U.N. -- not just “Rocket Man,” but “sovereignty.”

It wasn’t surprising that liberal analysts freaked out over his nickname for Kim Jong Un and his warning that we’d “totally destroy” Kim’s country should it become necessary. These lines were calculated to get a reaction, and they did.

More interesting was the allergy to Trump’s defense of sovereign nations.

Brian Williams of MSNBC wondered whether the repeated use of the word “sovereignty” was a “dog whistle.” CNN’s Jim Sciutto called it “a loaded term” and “a favorite expression of authoritarian leaders.”

In an otherwise illuminating piece in The Atlantic, Peter Beinart concluded that Trump’s address amounted to “imperialism.” If so, couched in the rhetoric of the mutual respect of nations, it’s the best-disguised imperialist manifesto in history.

vision that Trump was setting out.

He didn’t defend a valueless internationRich al relativLowry ism. Trump warned that National “authoritarReview ian powers seek to collapse the values, the systems, and alliances that prevented conflict and tilted the world toward freedom since World War II.” He praised the U.S. Constitution as “the foundation of peace, prosperity and freedom for the Americans and for countless millions around the globe.”

“The Marshall Plan,” he said, “was built on the noble idea that the whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent and free.”

Just window dressing?

Trump returned to similar language in his denunciation of the world’s rogue states.

When critics don’t ignore these passages, they say that they contradict Trump’s

emphasis on the sovereignty of all nations. There’s no doubt that there’s a tension in Trump’s emerging marriage between traditional Republican thinking and his instinctive nationalism.

Yet he outlined a few key expectations.

He said, repeatedly, that we want nations committed to promoting “security, prosperity and peace.” And we look for them “to respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every other sovereign nation.”

Every country that Trump criticized fails one or both of these tests. So, by the way, do Russia and China. Hence Trump’s oblique criticism of their aggression in Ukraine and the South China Sea. Trump’s core claim that “the nation-state remains the best vehicle for elevating the human condition” is indubitably correct; it is what makes self-government possible. If the alternative is being governed by an imperial center or transnational authorities, the people of almost every nation will want -- and fight, if necessary -- to govern

themselves. (See the American Revolution.)

The U.N. is hardly an inappropriate forum for advancing these ideas.

“The Organization,” the U.N. charter itself says, “is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.” To the extent that the U.N. is now a gathering place for people hoping the nation-state will be eclipsed, it’s useful to remind them that it’s not going away.

All that said, there were indeed weaknesses in the speech. First, as usual, Trump’s bellicose lines stepped on the finer points of his message. Second, even if sovereignty is important, it can’t alone bear the weight of being the organizing principle of American foreign policy. Finally, Trump’s foreign-policy vision is clearly a work in progress, as he accommodates himself to the American international role he so long considered a rip-off and waste of time.

Trump is adjusting to being the head of a sovereign nation -- that happens to be the leader of the world.

Reigning state 3A champions hit national stage

BY LAURA MCKINNEY For the Daily Corinthian

BOONEVILLE — Although the temperature outside may not yet indicate so, fall is here. School is back in session, and football season is well underway.

It is the time of year for which high school musicians live — marching season!

This year, the Booneville Blue Devil Band plans several performances to celebrate the arrival of the marching band competition season.

The band has been performing at football games since the school year started, and it will continue to do so for the remainder of the season.

Their first competition will be Saturday in Olive Branch, where they are the defending Reserve Grand Champions.

The Booneville Band will make its inaugural appearance on the national competition stage on Oct. 7 at the Bands of America Regional competition at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama.

Eighteen bands from across the southeastern United States are registered to perform at this competition. The Bands of America organization is considered the premier organization in sponsoring regional and national marching band events.

MSHSAA state evaluations

take place Oct. 14, and this performance is used to determine which bands will compete for the MSHSAA Class 3A state championship on Saturday, Nov. 4 in Pearl.

The Booneville Blue Devil Band is the reigning Class 3A state champion, a title the organization has held for the last four consecutive years.

On Oct. 21, the band will perform in exhibition at the Dixie Marching Festival at Northeast Mississippi Community College before leaving to compete at the University of Memphis Liberty Bowl that evening.

The band has been diligently rehearsing under the leader-

Multiple charges filed after disturbance at Alcorn home

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Two Corinth residents face multiple charges after a disturbance at a Alcorn County home.

Sheriff Ben Caldwell said an altercation between two people at a residence on County Road 111 near Box Chapel on Sunday resulted in a search of the home.

Investigators discovered over an ounce of Methamphetamine and items used to manufacture the drug. Several tablets of MDMA or Ecstasy were found. Deputies also seized several firearms and blasting caps.

Thirty-one-year-old Jeremy A. Dillman and 30-year-old Kathryn E. Murphy are both charged with trafficking metham-

phetamine enhanced by firearm, possession of explosive devices (blasting caps), possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture m e t h ampheta m i n e and possession of Dillman controlled substance (MDMA/Ecstasy).

Caldwell said bond has not been set for either individual and both remain in the Alcorn County Jail.

Deputies were first dispatched to the home due to an altercation between a visitor to the residence and a neighbor.

Caldwell said the visitor received several cuts from a knife during the altercation.

“He was taken by private vehicle to the hospital and has since been released,” said the Murphy sheriff.

“At this time it appears that the cuts were a result of self defense by the neighbor and no charges have been filed at this time.”

The information obtained from the investigation will be presented to the Alcorn County Grand Jury, said Caldwell.

Watchdog questions education contracts Associated Press

JACKSON — A state government watchdog agency is criticizing the Mississippi Department of Education for issuing contracts without taking bids, even though the contractors were paid more than the amounts that trigger bid requirements.

The Joint Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review issued the report Monday.

It says the state education agency signed contracts with four sets of individuals and companies that exceeded bid thresholds from 2014 to 2016. The committee, commonly called PEER, says some of the contracts also may have broken other state purchasing rules.

State agencies at the time were supposed to take bids for service contracts worth more than $100,000, and take quotes from multiple vendors for contracts worth more than $50,000. In some instances, amounts of individual contracts were just under $100,000 or just under

$50,000, while total work exceeded those thresholds.

The department spent more than $1 million with the contractors highlighted.

State Superintendent Carey Wright wrote in a response that in some cases, the contracts were not for

the same services, meaning they may not have broken state rules. She also said that the department chose contractors from a pool of vendors, and that it didn’t purposefully set contract amounts just below thresholds.

ship of directors Josh and Jada Forsythe, and they have been assisted by a group of adjunct instructors located both locally and nationwide.

Former students have returned as “techs,” who assist with anything from rehearsals to building props for the marching show. This year’s production, titled “The Tree of Life,” looks to be one of the longest and most complicated shows fielded by the Booneville Band since the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe as directors in 2014.

The directors and students look forward to the remainder of football season and to their competition season. They wish

to thank school and district administrators, as well as the booster organization, for their ongoing support.

Many thanks also to businesses, churches, and individuals in the community who have supported fundraising efforts, helped supply meals and water for practices, and stopped by the band’s concession stand.

The band eagerly anticipates performing for the community and hopes citizens of Booneville and surrounding area will come support them this fall.

Traffic stops lead to two arrests

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A series of weekend traffic stops lead to two arrests, including a Corinth man.

Twenty-nine-year-old Jordan Talley of 4 CR 618 in Corinth, was arrested on Sunday and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance (Methamphetamine).

Tishomingo County deputies made the traffic stop on Talley for improper equipment on Highway 25 in Iuka. Officials later found a hidden compartment in the vehicle that contained alleged meth.

Talley was arrested and transported to the Tishomingo County Jail.

Bond has not been set.

Thirty-fouryear-old Shanna Osborn of Iuka has also b e e n Talley charged w i t h sale of a controlled substance.

She was arrested on Friday after deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle where she was a passenger. Depu-

ties believed Osborn was driving under the influence and a search of her vehicle turned up some alleged narcotics and paraphernalia. The alleged narcotics found by the deputies was Oxycodone.

Osborn, who is currently out on bond, is already part of an ongoing investigation into the sale of narcotics.

The cases against both Talley and Osborn will be brought before the Grand Jury.

Sheriff John Daugherty said Osborn’s arrest is part of an ongoing investigation and more arrests could follow.

Man arrested after leading police on chase Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Authorities said a man has been arrested for an attack on the campus of Mississippi State University and a subsequent police chase.

Jeremy Young, 20, was charged with simple do-

mestic violence and failure to yield to blue lights.

MSU Police Chief Vance Rice said officers saw Young attempting to pull a female victim from a car near Giles Hall on Monday sometime after 9 a.m. After removing the victim, Rice said

Young jumped into the car, fled from police and struck a patrol car.

Young was later arrested at his home.

Rice said the victim didn’t receive treatment at a hospital. Authorities believe Young and the victim are relatives.

Troubled Equifax CEO resigns

BY KEN SWEET AND MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Embattled Equifax CEO Richard Smith stepped down Tuesday, less than three weeks after the credit reporting agency disclosed a disastrous hack to its computer system that exposed the sensitive personal information of 143 million Americans.

His departure follows those of two other highranking executives who left in the wake of the hack, which exploited a software flaw that the company did not fix to expose Social Security numbers, birthdates and other personal data that provide the keys to identify theft.

Smith, who had been CEO since 2005, will also leave the chairman post. Equifax called his departure a retirement, but he will not receive his annual bonus and other potential retirementrelated benefits until the company’s board con-

cludes an independent review of the data breach.

Even if the review does find Smith at fault, he could walk away with a retirement package of at least $18.4 million, along with the value of the stock and options he was paid out over his 12-year tenure.

There is a possibility the board could “claw back� any cash or stock bonuses he may have received, but corporations typically set high thresholds for that type of action.

The 57-year-old executive, who made almost $15 million in salary, bonuses and stock last year, would also be able to stay on the company’s health plan for life.

Paulino do Rego Barros Jr., most recently president of the Asia Pacific region, was named interim CEO. Board member Mark Feidler was appointed non-executive chairman. Equifax said it will look both inside and outside the company for a permanent CEO.

Even with the departures of three top executives, Equifax is still facing several state and federal inquiries and a myriad of class-action lawsuits, including congressional investigations, queries by the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and probes by several state attorneys general.

On Tuesday, the city of San Francisco became the first municipality to sue Equifax for exposing its residents to identity theft. The state of Massachusetts sued Equifax last week.

Three other executives were found to have sold stock for a combined $1.8 million before Equifax disclosed the breach, though the company says they were unaware of it at the time.

Although Wall Street analysts had previously applauded Equifax’s performance under Smith, he and his management team came under fire for lax security and their

response to the breach.

Confusion over the terms of credit-monitoring protection and jammed phone lines added to public’s ire. The company’s stock has lost about a quarter of its value — a $4.4 billion setback.

Equifax’s board clearly needed to deal with Smith, not only as a public show of penance for the breach but also for the company’s bungling since informing consumers their identities are in danger of being stolen, said Bart Friedman, a lawyer specializing in corporate governance issues for Cahill Gordon and Reindel. “This was like a fivealarm fire, and the lack of an appropriate response by management just poured gasoline on that fire,� Friedman said. “If you are sitting on that board, I don’t know how you could have permitted him to stay in his role. I have rarely seen such a botched response to an existential threat.�

Firebrand jurist wins ‘Obamacare’ survives; Alabama GOP runoff Republicans concede on last-gasp repeal try

BY KIM CHANDLER AND JAY REEVES Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Firebrand jurist Roy Moore won the Alabama Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, defeating an appointed incumbent backed by President Donald Trump and allies of Sen. Mitch McConnell.

In an upset likely to rock the GOP establishment, Moore clinched victory over Sen. Luther Strange to take the GOP nomination for the seat previously held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Moore will face Democrat Doug Jones in a Dec. 12 special election.

The crowd at Moore’s election party broke into loud applause as media outlets called the race.

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon took the stage to introduce Moore as supporters waving flags cheered Tuesday night. “We have to return the knowledge of God and the Constitution of the United States to

the United States Congress,� Moore told the crowd. He also said he supports the president and his agenda.

Bannon declared Moore’s win a victory for Trump, despite the president’s support for Strange.

After the race, Trump tweeted his congratulations to Moore, noting that “Luther Strange started way back & ran a good race.�

Throughout the campaign, Moore argued the election was an opportunity to send a message to the “elite Washington establishment� that he said was trying to influence the race. The Senate Leadership Fund, a group with ties to McConnell, had spent an estimated $9 million trying to secure the nomination for Strange.

SLF President and CEO Steven Law said Tuesday that Moore won the nomination “fair and square� and the group will now back him.

Law said Moore “has our support, as it is vital that we keep this seat in Republican hands.�

BY ERICA WERNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — “Obamacare� lives on.

Senate Republicans, short of votes, abandoned their latest and possibly final attempt to kill the health care law Tuesday, just ahead of a critical end-of-the-week deadline.

The repeal-and-replace bill’s authors promised to try again at a later date, while President Donald Trump railed against “certain so-called Republicans� who opposed the GOP effort.

But for now, Trump and fellow Republicans who vowed for seven years to abolish President Barack Obama’s law will leave it standing and turn their attention to overhauling the nation’s tax code instead.

The GOP’s predicament was summed up bluntly by Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a lead author of the legislation: “Through events that are under our control and not under our con-

trol, we don’t have the votes.� “Am I disappointed?

Absolutely,� he said after a GOP lunch attended by Vice President Mike Pence.

Standing alongside Cassidy, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said: “We haven’t given up on changing the American health care system. We are not going to be able to do that this week, but it still lies ahead of us.�

There was much talk of returning to the repeal effort later, but not all Republican senators were putting on that brave face.

The bill Cassidy co-authored with Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina would have unraveled the central elements of Obama’s law, including the requirement for Americans to carry health insurance or pay fines, and offered block grants to states to design their own systems with less federal control.

Trump suddenly turns focus to Puerto Rico, promises visit

BY LAURIE KELLMAN AND DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Suddenly, just about all President Donald Trump can talk about is Puerto Rico.

After not mentioning hurricane-devastated island for days, Trump on Tuesday pushed back aggressively and repeatedly against criticism that he had failed to quickly grasp the magnitude of Maria’s destruction or give the U.S. commonwealth the top-priority treatment he had bestowed on Texas, Louisiana and Florida after previous storms.

Trump announced that he would visit Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands next week. He tweeted about Puerto Rico’s needs.

He talked about Puerto Rico during a meeting on tax cuts. He raised the subject at a Rose Garden news conference with the prime minister of Spain.

And he attended a hurricane briefing. He called a meeting of agency heads tasked with helping Puerto Rico recover, and sent top officials out to the White House driveway to talk to reporters.

FEMA Administrator Brock Long delivered specifics: 16 Navy and Coast Guard ships in the waters around Puerto Rico and 10 more on the way.

Throughout, Trump stressed that Puerto Rico’s governor had praised the federal response, characterizing Ricardo Rossello as “so thankful of the job we’re doing.�

Across the Nation Associated Press

Work on border wall prototypes begins SAN DIEGO — The federal government said Tuesday that contractors began building eight prototypes of President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico, hitting a milestone toward a key campaign pledge.

Construction in San Diego began three months behind schedule after those who didn’t win contracts protested. The building process will last about 30 days, Customs and Border Protection said.

The agency may pick several winners, or none. It said in a news release that the prototypes “will inform future design standards which will likely continue to evolve to meet the U.S. Border Patrol’s requirements.”

Each prototype will be up to 30 feet high and 30 feet long.

Bidding documents say four of the prototypes are to be solid concrete and four are to be made of “other materials.”

Trump said Friday that the wall should be seethrough, appearing to cast doubt on the concrete designs.

The administration faces several federal lawsuits in San Diego that seek to block the prototypes and plans to replace existing barriers in California. A complaint filed last week

by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, largely mirrors two others by

environmental advocacy groups that allege the administration overstepped its authority to speed up construction of the wall.

Boys recovering after parents killed BUFFALO, N.Y. — Two young boys whose parents died in a fall off a 200-foot cliff during a family hiking trip with them are out of the hospital and are recovering at home.

Relatives of 4-year-old Alexander Green and 7-year-old Jacob Green said Tuesday the boys are surrounded by family and friends as they recover from the Aug. 20 accident in the Zoar Valley Gorge, 35 miles south of Buffalo.

Parents William and Amanda Green, of Buffalo, and Alexander fell off the cliff and were found by other hikers at the bottom of the gorge.

The parents were dead, and Alexander, who was nearby, was severely injured. Jacob was found injured hours later wandering the gorge floor alone.

The Green family, in a statement released

by Amanda Green’s employer, BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, said it wanted to thank people for “their thoughts, prayers and well wishes.”

The statement said the boys, known as Xander and Jake, “continue to amaze us with their perseverance, and watching them get stronger by the day is nothing short of a miracle.”

The Erie County sheriff’s office said

the Greens were hiking in the rugged Zoar Valley, a popular hiking and kayaking spot.

Something went horribly wrong, and the parents and Alexander wound up at the bottom of the cliff, near the banks of Cattaraugus Creek, authorities said.

Philadelphia honors black activist PHILADELPHIA — Nearly 150 years after he was killed on the streets of his adopted hometown, Octavius Valentine Catto was honored by a crowd of hundreds gathered in Philadelphia on Tuesday for the unveiling of a statue in his honor.

The honor is the first such named tribute for an African-American on public land in Philadelphia and comes amid a national conversation about how and where America chooses to celebrate its heroes.

The crowd cheered as a statue of Catto — which seemed to stride boldly in the direction of Broad Street in the shadow of City Hall — was revealed.

V. Chapman Smith, vice president of the O.V. Catto Memorial Fund, encouraged those gathered to pursue Catto’s vision and continue to advance the ideals he stood for.

Mayor Jim Kenney, who led a 15-year crusade to memorialize the activist, called him “a true American hero” who should be revered by all Philadelphians and whose legacy should be taught to all Americans.

Fired chief: Mayor interfered with inquiry BAY ST. LOUIS — A Mississippi Gulf Coast town is looking for its fifth police chief in the last year after the mayor fired the department’s interim leader.

WLOX-TV reported that Bay St. Louis Mayor Mike Favre fired Matt Issman less than two weeks after Issman took charge.

Issman said Favre was interfering in an investigation of a traffic stop that resulted in a chase and an officer firing his gun.

Favre didn’t immediately comment Tuesday.

The previous police chief, Darren Freeman, resigned Sept. 12 amid concerns over video of a May drug arrest. The city refuses to release the video, citing an investigation.

Interim chief Wes Mayley preceded Freeman.

He took the post after Chief Mike De Nardo shot himself. De Nardo was being investigated for payroll fraud and illegally selling city guns.

Lawsuit: Religious objection led to firing JACKSON — A restaurant chain discriminated against the religious beliefs of a Pentecostal woman by refusing to let her wear a denim skirt instead of blue jeans while she worked as a waitress, a federal agency says in a lawsuit.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced Tuesday that it has sued Georgia Blue LLC, which has restaurants selling southern

and Creole food in four Mississippi cities.

The federal lawsuit, filed Monday, said the Mississippi-based company failed to “reasonably accommodate” the religious beliefs of Kaetoya Watkins, who told a Georgia Blue manager that her religion prohibits her from wearing pants.

Watkins received no response from the manager but was fired when she went to work her first day in November 2015 wearing a denim skirt, the lawsuit said.

Soon after that, the manager left Watkins a voicemail message saying he had spoken with the owner and the restaurant “would ‘not stray away from’ its dress code policy.”

The EEOC regional office in Birmingham, Alabama, handles cases for most of Mississippi.

“Most religious accommodations are not burdensome, such as allowing an employee to wear a skirt instead of pants,” Marsha L. Rucker, an EEOC attorney for, said in a statement. “It would have been simple to allow Ms. Watkins to wear a long skirt at work.

No worker should be obligated to choose between making a living and following her religious convictions.”

Woman hospitalized; shooting charges filed HATTIESBURG — Police said a man is being charged after a woman was shot at a home in Mississippi.

Hattiesburg Police Lt. LaTosha Myers-Mitchell told news outlets that 59-year-old Roy McNair

was arrested on Monday and charged with domestic aggravated assault.

The woman was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition.

Officers responded at a residence Sunday night and found a woman who was shot several times.

The name of the woman has not been released.

Site chosen for new U.S. courthouse GREENVILLE — A proposed site has been chosen for a new $40.1 million federal courthouse in Mississippi.

The courthouse would be built on a vacant lot in downtown Greenville where the first Stein Mart department store used to stand, the Delta Democrat-Times reported.

It’s a short distance from the current federal courthouse that is considered outdated and not secure enough.

The General Services Administration announced the site Sunday, starting a 30-day period for public comments.

If the land is acquired, construction could begin in March 2019, and the courthouse could open by autumn 2021.

Mayor Errick D. Simmons said he supports the GSA’s choice of the old Stein Mart location, which was chosen over two other two other sites.

“This courthouse will be an economic catalyst for downtown revitalization and will continue our efforts to rebuild our downtown and build upon our current assets,” Simmons said.

Girlfriend’s stunning revelation leaves entire family shocked Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: My son and his live-in girlfriend were expecting a baby.

My daughter planned the shower, and it was a wonderful eight months of excite-

ment.

I was included in the ultrasounds and all information, and we were all anticipating the big day.

Two weeks before the baby was due, my son showed up and announced that the baby is not his.

He was heartbroken, as were all of us.

I had given them items that should have stayed in the family, and many of his friends and our extended family gave them a lot of gifts.

Shouldn’t those things be returned?

She cheated on my son, became pregnant by another man and then waited until the end to break his heart.

Your advice would be appreciated. — SAD AND MAD IN IDAHO DEAR SAD AND MAD:

Please accept my sympathy for the very real loss your family has experienced.

My question to you would be, how is your son handling this revelation?

Is the relationship over, or is there a chance he could forgive her, reconcile and accept the baby as his own? (Some men do.)

If that’s the case, let things stand as they are.

However, if he won’t, you should politely ask for the family items to be returned.

Rightfully, they should be.

Assuming they are in her possession and were given as gifts, she may refuse, and you can’t force her.

Be prepared, hang onto your temper and try not to say anything for which you might be sorry later.

This is a time for negotiation, not vendetta.

DEAR ABBY: I was raped when I was 13.

My uncle was the person who took me to the home of his friend who raped me.

After that, my uncle started molesting me. Instead of believing me, my parents believed my uncle’s lies.

They blamed and abandoned me afterward. I had to learn about life the hard way.

My dad is dead now, and I don’t associate with my mom or anyone on her side of the family.

I always mess up any relationship I have.

I love the guy I have been seeing for three years, but I’m still doing the same things that ruined my last relationships.

I have a huge problem with trust, even with this new guy.

How do I stop acting like this?

— NEEDS HELP IN FLORIDA DEAR NEEDS HELP: Considering your history, your trust issues are a normal reaction to what was done to you by your family.

That your parents would believe your abuser instead of you when you told them you had been assaulted is appalling.

If there is a rape treatment center near where you live, reach out to it for help.

If there isn’t, and you can’t afford private counseling, contact the county department of mental health and ask to talk to a licensed psychotherapist.

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).

They’re falling in love with your smile. If only they knew how difficult it can be to take the sunny route. It’s often automatic, but just as often not. Something good usually happens when levity wins, though.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

How much caring is too much?

You’ll wonder this as your love expands along with your involvement in, and expectations of, a relationship. Take your time. This part requires thoughtfulness and space.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There are people from your past whose paths you may never cross again who think of you in a certain way. You can’t control or change that, but you can definitely make a fresh impression on the people you meet today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

To wish for an easy route — well, it wouldn’t be wrong, but it wouldn’t be you, either. You’ll take what comes naturally and know what it feels like to get stronger and smarter for the work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some will find the way; others will find the excuse. You’re at a point where you need to decide how much it means to you. Much will be riding on how important the mission is and how deeply you are committed to it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Reality and your dream of it do not seem very far apart from one another today. But there are still a few key differences.

Take these obstacles into consideration one by one. Be methodical.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Conflict comes from facing life head-on. So does peace.

Avoidance keeps the tension going unnecessarily. Today, everything is better handled very quickly if not immediately.

Speak to each moment in that moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The people in charge may place roadblocks to deter the fainthearted or those who are only mildly interested. You’ve every reason to keep trying. You’ll quickly prove you’re not in that

category, and doors will open to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The leadership position will come with stressful responsibilities and expectations, and yet somehow that won’t bother you the way it would others. Things will be better when you’re in charge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relax and let things unfold naturally. Even with today’s lengthy to-do list, you’ll approach with the right attitude, handle it all and even have some fun along the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You see funny things today -- or maybe you just notice what’s always been there but you suddenly see the humor in it. Stress levels go down with every laugh.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Opportunities will present themselves in coy, understated ways. The best one will sit quietly, not drawing much attention. You won’t be fooled. You know a good thing when you see it. Seize the moment.

Orders rebound?

Economists expect that orders for long-lasting manufactured goods rose in August after a big slump a month earlier.

They predict that the Commerce Department will report today that orders increased 1 percent in August.

Business orders for durable goods slid 6.8 percent in July, the biggest decline in nearly three years. A drop in the volatile category of civilian aircraft pulled orders lower.

Kyle Busch cruises to victory at New Hampshire to advance into the second round of playoffs

Regular season champion Christopher Bell kicked off the Camping World Truck Series playoffs with a runaway win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday.

Bell earned the maximum 60 points by winning all three stages of the race.

Ryan Truex, who last week lost a playoff berth in a tie-breaker with Ben Rhodes, was Bell’s closest challenger. Truex grabbed the lead on a restart at Lap 132 of 175 and held off Bell for 28 laps before Bell, with an obviously faster truck, motored by and drove away to win by 1.248 seconds.

“When you’ve got the best truck in the field behind you, it makes it tougher,” Truex said. “I did everything I could to hold him off. I was trying to take his lane and block and everything. I just didn’t have quite the grip he had.”

Non-playoff drivers took four of the top five finishing positions as Todd Gilliland, Grant Enfinger and Stewart Friesen finished third through fifth, respectively.

Bell now has a 40-point lead over secondplace Johnny Sauter in the series standings. Sauter recovered from a mid-race accident to finish ninth.

“Obviously with Texas and Charlotte and Kansas and Homestead Kyle Busch, who has been the victim of bad racing luck on numerous occasions this season, took advantage of others’ misfortunes on being all mile-and-a-half tracks, those are ones that we’ve got to Sunday and scored a dominating win in the ISM Connect 300 at zero in on and make sure we have the most speed possible,” he said.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The victory assures Busch of advancing to the Round of 12, which begins after this weekend’s race at Dover International Speedway.

It was also his first in a playoff race other than the 2015 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

For most of the early portions of Sunday’s 300-miler, points leader Martin Truex Jr. was the class of the field. He won the first stage and was poised to claim the second when Kevin Harvick and Austin Dillon collided on the backstretch ahead of him.

Unable to see due to the smoke from Harvick’s spinning tires, Truex drove into a tangle of spinning cars and came away with damage to the rear of his No. 78 Toyota.

Busch squeezed between the spinning cars and the wall and won Stage Two. He then dominated the rest of the race, leading a total of 187 laps to get his third win of the season and the third of his career at New Hampshire.

“It was a close call,” Busch said of the Lap 150 accident. “That was certainly a defining moment of the race, I think, with [Truex] getting torn up a little bit and us being able to squeak through unscathed.”

With Truex’s early domination and his win in the playoff opener at Chicagoland, Busch’s win at New Hampshire and Kyle Larson’s runner-up finish at New Hampshire, the three drivers who were expected to excel in the playoffs are so far living up to expectations.

And fourth-finishing Brad Keselowski also has earned enough points to join Busch, Larson and Truex in earning transfers to the next round.

But Busch predicted that none of them will coast this weekend at Dover, due to NASCAR’s new playoff format.

“We’re just trying to collect stage points, go out there and race as hard as we can, get stage wins, get race wins, and do what we can in order to keep padding that cushion that we have for the start of every round,” he said of his team’s strategy, which he expects the others to employ as well.

Busch also said that even with his own victory, he still expects Truex to be the driver to beat as the playoffs continue.

“I thought today was a good catch-up moment for us, if you will,” he said, adding that Truex has been the faster of the two on mile.\Oe %XsFh apprRaFhes Whe sWarW ÀQish OiQe aW New Hampshire WR and-a-half tracks like the four that will host playoff races in the FOaim YiFWRr\ iQ Whe ,60 &RQQeFW RQ 6XQGa\. next two months.

Timothy Peters wins Martinsville’s first night race and claims big Late Model payday

Timothy Peters, who earlier this year lost his ride in the Camping World Truck Series when his Red Horse Racing team ceased operations, won the first-ever night race at Martinsville Speedway.

7imRWh\ 3eWers GrRYe Whe NR. WR YiFWRr\ iQ 6aWXrGa\·s ÀrsW eYer QiJhW raFe aW 0arWiQsYiOOe 6peeGwa\.

On Saturday night, Peters scored his second career victory in the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville. The race is the richest in the Late Model Stock division, and it played out before a large, race-record number of spectators, according to track officials.

“This was special. This was history,” Peters said in Victory Lane.

“There will be multiple winners, but there will only be one first-time winner (under the lights).”

To get the win, Peters had to fight off challenges from the 2017 Whelen All-American Series National Champion Lee Pulliam and from veteran Late Model driver Peyton Sellers.

Peters earned $25,000 for his Martinsville win, plus one of the track’s signature grandfather clock trophies. He collected another $10,000 for winning the Virginia Triple Crown, as he had the best average finish at the Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway, the Hampton Heat at Langley Speedway and the 300 at Martinsville.

Martinsville’s new LED lighting system will be ready again on Oct. 29 when the Monster Energy Cup race there starts at 3 p.m. and could finish after dark.

Tyler Reddick victorious in his 15th Xfinity start; Allgaier, Custer lead contenders Part-time Xfinity Series driver Tyler Reddick and the Chip Ganassi Racing team grabbed the spotlight in Saturday night’s playoff opener for the Xfinity Series at Kentucky Speedway.

Reddick, driving the team’s No. 42 Chevrolet, sped away from the field, taking the lead with 74 laps remaining and scoring a 14.54-second victory over his teammate and playoff contender, Brennan Poole.

“I don’t know if it was necessarily me making a statement; it was just Chip Ganassi Racing making a statement,” said Reddick, who is set to move to JR Motorsports next season.

Reddick, who had three Truck Series wins in the past two seasons,

got the win in his 15th career Xfinity start, while Poole scored his best finish in 77 series starts.

Playoff contender Justin Allgaier overcame an early race setback to finish third. Allgaier suffered a flat tire and lost two laps midway through the first stage, but used the wave-around and later received the free pass to rejoin the lead lap. He worked his way to third place at the finish and left Kentucky tied for the series points lead with Cole Custer, who led 49 laps, won the first two stages and finished fifth.

Ryan Preece, making his third series start of the season, finished fourth after leading 22 laps.

Career Cup wins by Kyle Busch

Playoff standings get shuffled at New Hampshire as elimination race looms this week at Dover Points standings and race results from Sunday’s ISM Connect 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

1. MARTIN TRUEX JR

2,149 points (finished fifth)

He was en route to another rout of the field when he ran into a cloud of smoke from Kevin Harvick’s spinning car. The damage to his No. 78 Chevrolet in an ensuing accident set him back and robbed him of a chance for another victory.

2. KYLE LARSON

2,125 points (finished second)

He finished second for the eighth time this season and the 14th in his Cup career, but he said that’s OK. “That’s a lot of second-place finishes this year, but I’m fine with second,” he said. “Top-fives will get us to [the championship round at Homestead-Miami Speedway].”

3. KYLE BUSCH

2,119 points (finished first)

A mistake-free day paid off in a big way as he scored six playoff points and earned an automatic advance to the Round of 12. “We’ve missed out on a lot of opportunities, I feel like, this year, but we were able to execute all day long,” he said.

4. BRAD KESELOWSKI

2,106 points (finished fourth)

His New Hampshire finish, coupled with a fourthplace run at Chicagoland and his playoff points earned in the regular season, have him in position to advance to the Round of 12 no matter where he finishes at Dover.

5. DENNY HAMLIN

2,088 points (finished 12th)

His No. 11 Toyota didn’t drive like he expected. “It seemed like Richmond was the same deal, where we thought we had a good car and then we go to race and we’re just not that good,” he said. “We’ll get it tightened up.”

6. MATT KENSETH

2,087 points (finished third)

Kenseth didn’t get the win he wanted, but he came close. “Obviously a lot of guys had trouble, and we ran pretty competitively,” he said. “This is usually one of our better places, so glad we got the finish, but really we needed a win.”

7. JIMMIE JOHNSON

2,076 points (finished 14th)

He’s yet to show the results of previous championship runs. A loose lug nut on his last pit stop left him mired in traffic. But his best race track, Dover International Speedway, is next on the schedule.

8. RYAN BLANEY

2,070 points (finished ninth)

A solid run, including eight stage points earned, allowed him to build a 26-point cushion on the 13th-place driver heading to Dover, one of his better tracks.

9. CHASE ELLIOTT

2,070 points (finished 11th)

With his regular crew chief, Alan Gustafson, suspended a week for a rules infraction at Chicagoland, he and interim crew chief Kenny Francis overcame a wreck in practice and raced a backup car to a respectable finish.

10. KEVIN HARVICK

2,069 points (finished 36th)

A bump in the back from Austin Dillon sent him spinning out of the race. Unable to get his car untangled from the No. 41 of his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch, he was forced to drop out of the race.

11. JAMIE MCMURRAY 2,053 points (finished 16th)

Damage to his No. 1 Chevrolet during a late-race restart sent him to pit road for repairs. But he still salvaged a decent finish.

12. RICKY STENHOUSE JR. 2,044 points (finished 15th)

He hit the wall on the third lap and spent much of the race in recovery mode. “I’d say we’ve had two sub-par weeks and we’re still in this thing, so we’ll regroup and get focused and go to Dover,” he said.

13. AUSTIN DILLON

2,044 points (finished 19th)

His playoff position is shaky, so he needs a good finish at Dover. “We’ve got to go get ’em next week and have a good race and we will see where we end up,” he said.

14. RYAN NEWMAN

2,043 points (finished 13th)

His fortunes improved from a week ago. “After a rough week at Chicagoland Speedway last weekend, we rallied and turned in a respectable performance,” he said. Now he’s just one point shy of making the Round of 12.

15. KURT BUSCH

2,027 points (finished 37th)

A promising start to the second playoff race ended abruptly for the Daytona 500 champion. When Kevin Harvick spun in a cloud of smoke, he slammed into Harvick, ending his day.

16. KASEY KAHNE

2,023 points (finished 35th)

He was racing for the first time with Darian Grubb as his crew chief and was running in the top 15 when the track bar broke in his No. 5 Chevrolet.

What is happening to our country?

I have debated saying anything at all about the current state of affairs in collegiate and professional sports as players choose not to stand and salute the flag during the playing of the national anthem.

But alas, I must.

Realize that I am simply offering my point Kent of view, and it Mohundro will be brief, Sports Editor but so are those that choose to turn their nose up or down as the case may be at the very freedom we enjoy because of the bravery of our fighting men and women that have been fighting and dying for our freedom for centuries.

There was an article written yesterday by an AP writer that delves deeper into the reasons why this delicate situation has evolved into something much different than what it started out to be.

Don’t forget that former

Kent’s Corner San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick started the whole thing last year when he refused to stand and salute the flag or place his hand over his heart as the national anthem was being performed.

He simply took a knee.

He claimed then it was his way of protesting the treatment of blacks by police across the nation. Before I make my point, Kaepernick was right about that. There have been numerous cases over the last few years where police have allegedly mistreated and shot young black men and now it’s escalated to a full-fledged forum and national stage for all kinds of complaints.

My point is very simple, and it seems to have gotten lost in translation as events have unfolded in recent times.

The flag that we fly and salute is all about millions of American men and women

who have given their lives in every single war since the beginning: not about the treatment of police to minorities of any kind.

It makes me sick when I see the behavior these grown men and women are displaying because they’re upset about how a policeman treated or reacted to a minority member. I understand there have been lives lost and many of the recorded incidents are questionable at the very least.

But protesting the national anthem and snubbing the flag of our nation is not the forum to display and broadcast those beliefs and feelings. There are other more lawful and appropriate avenues to express grievances.

I say it’s a sad example for our young people because they are impressionable and they’re taking all this in and listening seriously to both sides. Many of them are siding with the minorities and those who choose not to salute the flag and stand for the anthem.

Of our United States of which many have paid the ultimate price. And they did it out of a sense of loyalty, love and respect for their country.

I just wonder how many of those are looking down upon the current state of affairs and saying, “Man, have y’all forgotten what it’s all about?”

I wanna commend the local school systems around the area for having the PA announcers especially at football games this fall remind everyone in the stands and on the field exactly why we stand and why we salute the flag and why we pay homage to those who paid the supreme price.

It’s not my place to personally tell a person how or how not to act but I must say this: I’m definitely ashamed of the way many of our fellow Americans are responding to these kinds of issues.

Say a prayer for this nation because we need many. And let’s all try our best to work together and just try to get along.

Until next time…

Area Roundup

BY KENT MOHUNDRO AND JOEL COUNCE For a coach who’s team just defeated their nearby division rival Corinth head coach Kelly Wright wasn’t extremely happy.

But she was pleased.

By the way, the Lady Warriors moved into sole possession of second place in the division behind New Albany with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Tishomingo County at CHS gym Tuesday.

“We won this match tonight defensively,” Wright said. “When our back row is playing well it gives our front row a chance to be successful and that’s how we won tonight. We’ve got a good team

but we’re still growing.”

The Lady Braves controlled the tempo thru the first two matches, dropping a close 27-25 set in the first, after leading by as many as five, then taking the second set 25-19.

That’s when Corinth stepped up and took control.

Tishomingo County head coach Brian Middleton knelt before his team on the bench following their set two victory and said “You’re not going to get a congratulations from me until you do that two more times.”

It never happened as CHS built huge leads in the third and fourth sets, although TCHS did rally from 10 down

in set four to pull within 2422. But Kristen Herman ended it for Corinth when she killed the ball into the middle of the Lady Braves defense.

“When you play great teams like Corinth you can’t be making unforced errors and that was the main difference for us tonight,” said Middleton. “We played really well the first two sets but they (CHS) took over the final two sets.”

Kossuth 8, Tishomingo County 6 Avery Mullins slugged two home runs, left-center fielder Mason Drewery snagged three different fly balls on the run and a Tishomingo Lady

Braves rally fell short in an 8-6 Kossuth victory Tuesday.

“We played tonight like we are capable of playing,” Kossuth head coach Steve Lyles said. “Those eight runs were good enough to win and I never would have thought that.”

Tishomingo County plated two runs in the first, but with the bases loaded and one out, hit into a double play.

“That was big,” Tishomingo County head coach Jerry Long said. “If we get a couple more runs, we’re sitting pretty good.”

Kossuth answered with two runs in the first and took Please see ROUNDUP | 13A

Baugus cancer fundraiser tops $1,000 goal

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Last month we printed the story about Corinth High School senior kicking specialist Michael Baugus and his efforts to raise money for childhood cancer research this season. Our goal was to make as many as possible aware of the campaign and encourage you to be part of it.

“The goal is to raise $1,000,” Baugus said as the season got underway. “But if we hit that goal during the season we certainly will not stop. We will keep raising money until the last game is played so as many funds as possible can be raised for kids that really need it.”

Well, the original monetary goal has been met but there’s still more to be done.

“We just hit the $1,000 mark this week,” said Michael’s dad Mike Baugus on Tuesday. “Even though we have achieved the goal Michael originally set we wanna raise as much as possible before the end of the season.”

If that means $2,000 is ultimately raised then the campaign will have doubled it’s goal: and that’s a very positive thing. When you consider how many families have been affected by this crippling and deadly disease we can never do enough.

“We wouldn’t mind if we topped $2,000 or even $3,000,” said Baugus. “Truth is we will

never raise enough to fight the cancer battle.”

After the first article appeared Baugus l a s t month many readers got involved and began to donate and pledge money to Baugus’ fundraising effort. Individuals or families can pledge a lump sum or donate a certain amount per kick or punt by Baugus this season.

“It’s a rare thing to see a young man Michael’s age have enough selflessness and conviction to conduct a campaign like this,” said Warrior head coach Todd Lowery. “It goes to show just how caring and compassionate he really is.”

The fundraiser will continue until the current football season ends and Baugus has made his last field goal, extra point or booted his last punt.

If you haven’t made a donation or pledge yet you still have time: and you don’t have to be a Corinth fan. People from all around the Daily Corinthian coverage area have become involved and will never regret it. To make a pledge or donation go online to kick-it.org and type in Michael’s name or on twitter @MBaugus7.

If you’d rather make a phone call you’re encouraged to call Mike Baugus at (662) 4159047.

their first lead with one run in the second.

The Lady Braves tied the contest with a solo home run from Macy Busby in the second and plated another run after three straight two out singles.

Mullins gave Kossuth the lead for good when she smashed a three run home run to score Dewery and Zoe Essary.

The Lady Aggies scored two runs in the fifth, including back to back RBI singles by Essary and Mullins to give Kossuth the 8-4 lead.

Tishomingo responded with back-to-back solo home runs by Mattie Walker and Breanna Brose. “We knew we were going to have to hit well and score some runs,” Long said. “And we did at times. We were just not consistent

enough hitting and that’s the bottom line.”

For Tishomingo County, Brose finished with three hits; Busby finished with two hits, both home runs; Walker finished with two hits, including a home run and Miranda Nash finished with two hits.

For Kossuth, Essary finished with two hits, Abby Lyles finished with two hits and Mullins finished with two hits, both home runs.

“I’m proud of them,” Lyles said. “The way they turned it around from last week and played well Saturday and this week. They just need to keep it up.”

With the win, the Aggies improve to 13-6 on the season and 3-4 in division play. The Lady Braves take their first conference loss and fall to 17-6 overall on the season.

Use Gulf Muhly grass for winter looks, color I know s o m e homeowners who look at ornamental grasses Gary and wonBachman der what is the big Southern deal; these Gardening plants are only grass.

But when fall rolls around, many of these naysayers change their opinion 180 degrees.

Fall is a great time to appreciate ornamental grasses, as their flower plumes, actually called inflorescences, really pop out in their full glory.

One of the best and showier grasses is not a selection that was bred for any particular characteristic. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about Gulf Muhly grass, a Mississippi native grass that really struts its stuff in the fall and winter.

This grass has a unique texture with spiky, upright leaves that have summer interest. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last, grand flourish that really creates landscape excitement. The grass flowers in billowy masses that resemble pink clouds in the landscape. As long as there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a hard freeze, the color will hold all winter. Even after freezing temperatures, the flower

heads keep their airy shape.

One of my favorite plantings is at my office at the Mississippi State University Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi.

In the fall, as the sun rises, the Gulf Muhly grass is backlit and absolutely glows like a rich, pink cloud. We get lots of compliments from visitors who see this sight.

This planting allows many of them to realize the significant impact landscape grasses can have in our winter landscapes.

Many visitors to the annual Fall Flower and Garden Fest in Crystal Springs

have marveled at the longstanding combination of Gulf Muhly grass and the heirloom chrysanthemum Clara Curtis. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see this combo again at the 2017 Fall Flower and Garden Fest on Oct. 13 and 14.

Now is a great time to plant this native grass that was chosen as a Mississippi Medallion native plant winner in 2010. Select a landscape site that receives at least six hours of full sun during the day.

Turn over the soil, and work in at least 3 to 4 inches of quality compost.

Always set the plant a little bit higher than the native grade of the landscape bed. This aids in drainage, which is always important in our Mississippi land-

scapes and gardens.

Carefully consider spacing needs. While a mass planting of Gulf muhly grass is gorgeous, these plants need their individual space. Each plant can grow up to 4 feet wide, so plant on 3-foot centers. This will achieve that filled-in, mass look.

Like all ornamental grasses, there is really only one maintenance item that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be neglected. In late winter, cut the grass clumps back to 6 inches before the spring growth starts. This trimming will clear the way for the new foliage and result in a nicely formed clump. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tempted to cut back any earlier, because then you will remove the dry in-

florescences that create movement with the wind and habitat for wildlife.

There are similar plants called muhly grass that have similar landscape performance, but most of these have white flower heads. Most garden centers will just lump the different species together and call them muhly grass.

Regardless of what they are called, muhly grass should be in your landscape. Just remember that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf muhly grass, known botanically as Muhlenbergia capilaris, that has the pink flower heads.

Before they even know whether the candy will be top-notch or king-size, trick or treaters are drawn to houses decked out for Halloween. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When kids are trickor-treating, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first thing they see,â&#x20AC;? says Tanya Graff, style director at Martha Stewart Living magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun when they see these amazing, decorated houses. It really makes it feel like Halloween. It makes your house look more inviting.â&#x20AC;?

Halloween offers the first big chance of fall to decorate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;the first big opportunity for people to really go for it,â&#x20AC;? says Graff.

Family friendly For a fun and familyoriented look, think about adding color and smiling faces, says DeVos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having more color, like purple and orange and black tied in together, and having friendly witches,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no blood or death.

A seasonal harvest look is easy to get with pumpkins. Besides traditional jack-oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-lanterns, you can add pumpkins to urns for a fall display, or turn carved pumpkins into outdoor vases for mums.

There are so many decorations to choose from, including skeletons, skulls, reapers, ghosts, witches, bats and other critters, not to mention faux blood and gore.

Bats, snakes and giant spiders can greet trick-ortreaters from a tree in your front yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can put them onto the tree and have them hanging down, and have webbing and cloth coming down and drape it all over the tree,â&#x20AC;? DeVos said.

Skeletons can greet trick-or-treaters from rocking chairs or stools on the front porch; decorate around them with bones, skulls or cauldrons.

Nothing rings in fall like pumpkin whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon in a shallow dish.

Once the bread has cooled slightly, melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.

Working in batches, soak the sliced bread in the egg mixture until it softens slightly, about 20 seconds per side.

The bread is very absorbent, so be careful not to oversoak or it will fall apart.

Transfer to the hot pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Lower the heat as needed to prevent browning.

Transfer to a serving platter as done, dust with confectioners’ sugar, and garnish with dried fruit.

Serve right away with crème anglaise.

BY THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA There are some major misconceptions about brunch, like that it’s just an excuse for people to drink mimosas and bloody marys before noon. And, well, yes — but the drinks are only the thirdbest thing about brunch.

Obviously if we’re discussing the merits of this latemorning, early-afternoon, weekend-only occasion, we have to address the very best things about it. No. 1: bacon as a side, no matter what you have ordered, since it is the official liaison between sweet and savory foods.

The No. 2 reason that brunch is the best: dessert for breakfast.

So if we’re all going to agree that once in a while a cake covered in maple syrup is breakfast, then we ought to be prepared with the very best recipe for our at-home brunching occasions. And for that, The Culinary Institute of America has you covered. But you have to pinky swear to eat something full of whole grains and fruit for breakfast on Monday.

Pumpkin spice is a divisive subject, but whether or not you want it in your coffee (or lip balm), you need a little bit of pumpkin to officially ring in the season. So what better way to pumpkin-ify your life than with a delightfully decadent dessertturned-breakfast?

Bourbon Creme Anglaise Makes about 2 cups 1 cup whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup sugar (divided use) 4 large egg yolks 1 to 2 tablespoon bourbon (optional)

Pumpkin Bread French Toast Servings: 10 Start to finish: 4 hours (Active time: 40 minutes) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for greasing 13/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 11/2 cups sugar 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée

Associated Press

2 large eggs 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Confectioners’ sugar, as needed 1/2 cup dried fruits, like cranberries and golden raisins Spiced Crème Anglaise (recipe below), for serving Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-in by 5-in

loaf pan with butter and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 4 tablespoons butter, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix on medium speed, scraping the bottom of the bowl occasionally, until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add the pumpkin and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated each time and scraping the bowl as needed. Add the

flour mixture and mix just until combined, about 30 seconds.

Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes.

Place the pan on a cooling rack to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.

To prepare the French toast, preheat the oven to 300 F. Slice the pumpkin bread into 10 slices and place on a baking sheet.

Transfer to the oven and bake until the bread has dried out slightly, flipping once during cooking, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile,

Combine the milk, cream, vanilla bean, and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a large, heavy, nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Prepare an ice bath if you plan to serve the sauce cooled. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the egg yolks.

Whisk until thoroughly combined. Temper the eggs by gradually adding about one-third of the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly.

Add the remaining cream mixture, return to the pan, and gently cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in bourbon, if using.

Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to serve warm, or into a bowl set over the ice bath to serve chilled. Stir the sauce occasionally as it cools. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

Leeks are the star in this quick, simple chicken dinner freeze your own fresh leek slices if you want to stock up for a future recipe.

Today’s recipe couldn’t be easier: pan-sear chicken, and spoon over sliced leeks mixed with a little melted butter, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce and chicken stock, and then finish the whole thing in the oven for 15 minutes. By the time you set out the plates, dinner will be on the table.

BY MELISSA D’ARABIAN Associated Press

We are less than a month into the school year, and suddenly, we’re swamped.

You too?

Six o’clock sneaks up on my family, and we have a million balls in the air — soccer practice, dance class, pre-algebra homework, jobs — and none of them is magically making dinner.

Still, my family needs to eat. So, I have a slew of super simple under-30-minute dinners that I can pull together in less time than it takes to get a pizza delivered. The trick is to keep the number of ingredients to a minimum, and select a fastcooking protein, like boneless skinless chicken breast.

Quick Skillet Chicken with Leeks earns high marks on both fronts, making it an excellent addition to your weeknight dinner rotation.

Just a few carefully selected

ingredients work together to get a ton of flavor without a lot of fuss. Leeks are the star. If you aren’t familiar with them, leeks may feel a little exotic. Used frequently in French cooking, they look like an oversized scallion, and taste like a mellow, slightly grassy onion (but better — I hesitated to use the word grassy, but then opted for accuracy over

enticement).

Once you discover leeks and realize how hardy they are — they’ll last at least a week in your fridge — you’ll buy them and find ways to work them into your recipes. Almost any place you use onions, you could swap in leeks for a flavor tweak.

Find them in the produce aisle, or with frozen vegetables. And, you can even

Quick Weeknight Skillet Chicken with Leeks Servings: 6 Start to finish: 25 minutes 6 small chicken breast cutlets, about 2 pounds 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 cup thinly sliced leek (fresh, or frozen), about 1 leek 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup chicken stock 1 teaspoon powdered dry

mustard 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper Preheat the oven to 400 F, salt and pepper the chicken.

Brown the chicken in olive oil in oven safe skillet over medium high heat just until the first side is golden, about 3 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix together the sliced leeks, melted butter, chicken stock, dry mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Flip the chicken over in the skillet. Spoon the leek mixture on top of the chicken and place the whole pan in the oven to finish cooking, about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through the leeks are tender. (If leeks appear to get too dry, place a sheet of aluminum foil light on top of the pan.)

Serve the chicken with some sauce spooned on top.

Summer should be a time of fun WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I live in a very small Montana town with a very short summer season. My friends and neighbors and I have been inundated with summer guests who have made our town and homes their summer vacation destination. Every year, our own summers have been ruined because of this guest influx. This puts a great strain on us financially, as well as physically. It gets worse every summer.

How does one politely tell these people to stay at a hotel and not expect us to feed them three meals a day, do their laundry and be their tour guide? I tried to let one set of friends know that I simply cannot accommodate them in my home, and now they no longer communicate with me. — Sick of Summer Guests Dear Sick of Summer Guests: Summer is too short to spend stressed about houseguests, and life is too short to spend acquiescing to others out of guilt. What you said — that you simply cannot accommodate them — was perfectly adequate, and I’d encourage you to tell any other prospective visitors exactly the same thing. If “friends” stop talking to you because you set boundaries, they’re not friends; they’re freeloaders.

Dear Annie

You’re better off without them.

Dear Annie: I can heartily empathize with “Housebound Through No Fault of Our Own in Iowa,” whose neighbors prevent her family from enjoying their own backyard.

When my partner and I were first married, we moved in to an apartment.

We are both readers and have never owned a TV or a stereo. Nonetheless, the woman who lived downstairs from us complained to the building manager about all the music coming from our apartment.

When it wasn’t the music (that we weren’t playing), it was that we flushed the toilet at 10:30 p.m. or (my favorite) she heard “one shoe drop and waited up all night for the other one.”

Because of the neighbor’s complaints, the landlord even threatened to evict us.

One long weekend, we were out of town. Minutes after returning home, we were told about the slew of complaints our neighbor had filed about how much noise we’d made over the weekend (even though we were out of town). That was the final straw.

We contacted a lawyer, who wrote a letter to

our neighbor clarifying that she was interfering with our “legal rights of domicile” and that if she persisted, we would be obliged to take further action.

After our downstairs neighbor complained to others in the building about our lawyer’s letter, one by one all of the neighbors came to us to tell us their stories of how our downstairs neighbor had harassed them. Then, as a group, we complained to the landlord about her.

Soon afterward, the woman downstairs moved out and left us all in peace.

We are not people who like the idea of going to a lawyer, but there are some people in this world who need that kind of response to behave appropriately.

I would strongly recommend that “Housebound” consider taking that step.

— Justin F. Dear Justin F.: Of all the neighbor complaints I’ve heard, “I heard one shoe drop and waited up all night for the other one” takes the cake. No one should have to undergo the expense and inconvenience of moving because of a neighbor’s unfair demands.

Good on you for standing up to a bully.

VOL. 3 • NO. 87

County settles wrongful death case Alcorn County has settled a wrongful death case brought against it from a situation in 2013.

The case stems from deputies responding to a call at a Kendrick Road residence and a woman then being shot.

Betty Sue Dunn Gray died seven months later in July 2014 at the age of 66.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court by her husband, Wilburn Gray, and her sons, Ronnie Brown and William Brown, against the county; Scott Dalton, a former county deputy; and Charles Rinehart,

The case stems from a situation in 2013 in which deputies responded to a call at a Kendrick Road residence and a woman was then shot. the former sheriff.

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors approved the terms of the settlement, which will not be disclosed, in an executive session Monday evening, according to Board Attorney Bill Davis.

In court filings, the county denies the allegations of wrongdoing contained in the complaint.

An Alcorn County Grand

Jury in January 2014 cleared Dalton, finding that the deputy “was fully justified in discharging his service weapon and the other actions he took in responding to this incident.”

The lawsuit argues that the shooting of Betty Gray “was an excessive and unnecessary use of deadly force.”

According to the complaint filed by the plaintiffs, Wilburn Gray called the sheriff’s depart-

ment to ask for assistance in removing a trespasser, Ronnie Brown, from the premises.

The complaint states that Dalton moved “in stealth” into Gray’s carport and, “without warning or notice to Wilburn Gray that any law enforcement officer was present, then removed his firearm and fired multiple rounds of .40 caliber bullets at Wilburn Gray and into the home of the Grays.

Wilburn then fired back with a .22 caliber pistol he used to scare crows out of his pecan trees, but only thereafter did Dalton announce that he was there on behalf of the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department.

Gray’s wife, seated inside the home, was hit in the neck by a .40 caliber bullet, the complaint states.

Wilburn Gray was arrested and charged with assault on a police officer.

The exchange of gunfire occurred on the evening of Dec. 23, 2013, at the residence in northeast Alcorn County.

Recently released results show big success for area schools on the ACT test.

The numbers released by the Mississippi Department of Education show gains for the junior class at Alcorn Central, Corinth and Kossuth high schools.

The test was administrated in the spring earlier this year.

Corinth 11th graders averaged a score of 19.9 among 128 test takers. Alcorn Central’s 100 juniors finished with a 19.6 average score, while Kossuth juniors averaged 19.0 among 97 students.

The statewide average score was 18, a decrease from 2016’s average of 18.3.

Biggersville’s 44 juniors finished with an average score of 17.0.

The ACT tests subject areas of English, math, reading and science.

“ACT scores among graduates are rising as more students take advantage of advanced coursework opportunities,” said Carey Wright, state superintendent of

education. “Also, testing students in their junior year helps teachers identify students who need further support to help them achieve higher scores before they graduate.”

District- and school-level average scores for the 2017 graduating class were not released, but the statewide average composite score was 18.6. The average is a increase from 2016’s 18.4.

The statewide percentage of graduates meeting the benchmark scores for all four tested subjects increased from 11 percent in 2016 to 12 percent in 2017, and the percentage decreased among juniors from 11 percent to 10 percent. There was also a 5 percent increase in the number of juniors taking the ACT in 2017, while the number of test takers in the graduating class increased 1 percent.

The graduating class saw scores increase in all four ACT subjects. The majority of student Please see TEST | 2

Supervisors delay pay raises for employees County employees will have to wait a bit longer for an increase in their pay.

With the budget for the upcoming fiscal year now finalized, requests for authorization to go ahead with pay increases have been made by several departments, but the Board of Supervisors on recently voted to delay any pay increases until Feb. 1. That is when cash flow will begin to pick up with payment of property taxes.

In another matter of county finances, the board had further discussion on the possibility of hiring an accountant outside the firm that performs the county’s audits to prepare the county’s financial statements. The board wants to look at a few options and again delayed action.

Board Attorney Bill Davis said that while there is nothing inappropriate about the current arrangement, the state auditor’s office will eventually make a recommendation that a separate auditor be engaged to prepare the financial statements.

The board also voted to send a letter to its auditing firm requesting completion of the 2016 audit

by the end of this year.

Board members believe potential grant funding is being lost because of audits not being up to date.

The state auditor’s investigation was a major factor in the audits getting behind schedule, according to county officials.

In other business: • The board agreed to pursue further study on the possibility of LED lighting at the courthouse and justice center, which is expected to provide cost savings.

• Youth Court counselor Beth Pharr presented a request for a stipend for an after-hours person to respond to calls.

• The August tax settlement is $198,888.29 to general county; $57,161 to roads; and $14,036.25 to bridge and culvert.

• The regional correctional facility’s billing for August is $220,938.46 for the housing of Mississippi Department of Corrections inmates; $7,880 for MDOC inmates in county jail beds; $50,375 for county jail inmates; $558.70 for juvenile detention center meals; $31,000 for Corinth Police Department inmates; $2,250 for Farmington Please see DELAY | 2

The flag ceremony was performed by Bobby McDaniel and Luther Rhodes and the special wreath presenters were Mike Hurst and Chris Grimes.

Cars traveling around the courthouse square stopped briefly during the presentation when the national anthem, sung by Chris Williams, powerfully rang out across the sunny morning down-

town.

The anthem was followed by Mark Hoston, who performed the firing three volley shots followed by the mournful sound of taps played by James Embrey.

American Legion Perry A. Johns Post 6 Commander Tommy Watson drew the crowd’s attention to the small table near the podium with an empty place setting.

While most may realize the setting represents the absent POWs and MIAs, he provided the details of the place setting as each item on the table had a special significance.

Watson’s remarks were followed by Sheila McDaniel, who sang a soldier’s version of “Hallelujah.”

Corinthian

Community Development Director Virginia-Boyd James talks with Alliance President Clayton Stanley.

New development director wants to improve Corinth The Alliance’s new community development director is focused on making the community she fell in love with even better.

Virginia-Boyd James joined The Alliance in April, succeeding Andrea Rose. The Community Development Council’s programs focus on retail, leadership and education, reJames tirement and young professionals.

The latter is of particular interest to James.

“My main focus with this new position has been to really revamp and revitalize the Corinth Professionals program,” said James. “Corinth and Alcorn County are swarming with young professionals that either grew up here and stayed in Corinth, came back to Corinth, or were relocated here to work for one of our industries or local businesses. My goal is to grow this network of young talent in Corinth so we can retain professionals in the community as well as attract new young talent to our thriving community.”

She is expanding the group’s online presence and sending a monthly newsletter to more than

“Corinth as a community has so much to offer, so I am hoping to benefit the community by helping to attract young talent to our area and continue to support and enhance our community livability.”

Virginia-Boyd James 100 up-and-comers.

“The goal of this newsletter is to create a defined network for those who are not familiar with Corinth and are looking to get involved in the community or meet others that are their age,” said James. “I hope to further accomplish this by hosting monthly networking happy hours at member businesses as well as sponsoring Corinth Professionals kickball teams at the local park.”

James grew up in Columbia, South Carolina, and attended the University of Mississippi, where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in public policy leadership. In Oxford, she worked as executive assistant to the mayor and then spent time in Ireland working as an au pair for a family with three boys.

She worked as an assistant event manager for Cricket Newman Designs in South Carolina before coming to Corinth in April after marrying John

James. She has Mississippi roots, with her father being from Jackson and her mother from Prentiss.

As the CDC director, she also oversees programs including Shop Corinth First, Leadership Alcorn and Junior Leadership Alcorn, and the Senior Connectors retiree group. She also works with the school districts to facilitate the Mississippi Scholars and Mississippi TechMaster programs for the Mississippi Economic Council.

James is excited to have a role in building an attractive quality of life for the area.

“Corinth as a community has so much to offer, so I am hoping to benefit the community by helping to attract young talent to our area and continue to support and enhance our community livability,” she said.

courthouse for the holidays. Angela Avent, Main Street Corinth director, said the group would like to do some lighting and wreaths at court square.

“We are looking to do some upbeat decorating for downtown, and the courthouse is one of the areas we were wanting to target,” she said.

• Parks and Recreation Director Ray Holloway discussed with the board processing of the park’s payroll after the city’s decision to no longer provide the service for the park.

• The board discussed updated interlocal agreements with Farmington and Rienzi for the collection of taxes. Both the tax collector and tax assessor would be included. Law allows them to receive additional pay for providing the services. The agreements has not been updated for some time.

• The board tabled the possible hiring of a CPA to prepare financial statements.

• A budget request from the Mississippi Burn Foundation was deemed too late for this year.

Board approves anticipation loan Alcorn County Supervisors are continuing to borrow money in anticipation of tax revenues.

The county recently approved a notice of intent to borrow $600,000 in a tax anticipation loan. The loan is needed for cash flow and will be repaid once money begins to come in with payment of ad valorem taxes early in the coming year.

The county is hoping in the near future not to need a tax anticipation note.

“We potentially could make it this year, but I am very hesitant to try and do so,” said Chancery Clerk Greg Younger.

In other business: • Sheriff Ben Caldwell reported that Heath Thomas, effective Sept. 1, was hired as chief investigator for the sheriff’s department. He is a former investigator for the county who had been working for the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.

Couple helps those affected by hurricane A Kossuth couple’s desire to help others sparked a big effort to help those hit by Harvey.

Kossuth area residents Mark and Tami Taylor had been planning a vacation trip to the mountains when they were moved to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey instead.

“I had been just watching it on T.V. and I felt so helpless. We were about to take a trip to Gatlinburg and we decided to do go help at the last minute,” said Tami Taylor.

Taylor said they located a church in Lake Charles, La., that was distributing supplies to evacuees from Orange and Beaumont, Texas. She explained that a large number of evacuees were staying in an arena in Lake Charles.

At first, Taylor said she and her husband were just going to take what they could afford — a couple hundred dollars in supplies. However, she decided to see if anyone else wanted to donate, so she posted a request on Facebook.

“Most of the people we met were humbled and so grateful for the donations. I just thank the good Lord for good family and friends that came through with such short notice. It was absolutely amazing.”

Tami Taylor From the time she made her post on Wednesday afternoon, until the time they left early Friday morning, they had received around $5,000 in donations, including 86 cases of water donated by Roger’s Supermarket.

“It was amazing, even though we had tornado warnings ... even in the pouring rain, people were bringing donations to our house,” said Taylor.

She and her husband “stepped out on faith,” she said. They had no idea where they would stay once they arrived in Louisiana, nor any clue as to what kind of situation

they were going into.

Taylor described the best and worst in humanity. She said there were people who were price gouging — buying up cases of water and selling them for $8 per bottle.

She also saw the best in humanity. The couple heard from several people with offers of places to stay.

“Most of the people we met were humbled and so grateful for the donations.

I just thank the good Lord for good family and friends that came through with such short notice. It was absolutely amazing,” said Taylor.

Campuses to benefit from bond projects Campuses throughout the Alcorn School District will benefit from a recent $4.25 million bond issue.

The five-member school board in June unanimously authorized the issuance of the amount not to exceed $4,250,000 in new limited tax notes to be used for facility and transportation upgrades.

Superintendent of Education Larry B. Mitchell said he provided a list of tentative projects for consideration to board members, but the list may change as projects are completed.

On the list includes needed projects at all three district campuses.

At Biggersville, Mitchell proposes the construction of a new multi-purpose building, auditorium repair, as needed roof repairs/replacements, bathroom remodels, window replacements and the purchase of one new bus.

At Alcorn Central, the tentative items include renovation of the band hall, construction of a new ag building, construction/remodel of four new high school classrooms, installation of a new air conditioner in the gym, as needed roof repairs/replacements, bathroom remodels, window replacements and the purchase of one new bus.

At Kossuth, the proposed projects are construction/remodel of a pre-K building, the addition of a metal building at the high school that will

provide eight new classrooms, installation of a new air conditioner in the gym, as needed roof repairs/replacements, bathroom remodels, window replacements and the purchase of one new bus.

Some of the proposed projects have already begun.

The board voted to purchase three new buses earlier this week as part of the bond issue.

The district will spend around $81,000 per bus, which is lower than the state contract price.

The board also approved the bid advertisement for new air conditioning unit installs at Alcorn Central and Kossuth gyms.

Mitchell said Biggersville’s gym will not get a new unit as part of the bond issue because, “They already have four fairly new units. The newest one was installed last spring.”

The 12-year loan will have a pay early date after the fifth year. Current loan interest rate is 2.77 percent.

The school district can use the borrowed money only on repairs, alterations and additions to school buildings, erecting school buildings, the purchase of heating and air units, to purchase school buses or other transportation equipment.

The monies can not be used on salaries or to hire staff.

The bond will extend a three-mill tax levy already in place and not cause a tax increase.

Some of the proposed projects have already begun.

Farmington aldermen finish training A pair of Farmington aldermen recently completed training to help them better understand their responsibilities.

Aldermen Johnny Potts and Lowell Gann were recognized at the beginning of the most recent meeting of the board for completion of the Mississippi Municipal League training.

Mayor Dale Fortenberry said the town has never had aldermen complete the training.

Potts completed the Professional Development in the Certified Municipal Professionals Program, and Gann completed the Advanced Program.

The two aldermen earned and received the recognition during the 2017 Mississippi Municipal League Conference at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum and Convention Center.

This year, the MML celebrated 86 years of service to Mississippi’s cities and towns.

“The MML Annual Conference allows municipal elected officials from across the state to participate in education sessions taught by subject matter experts on topics critical to the operation of municipal government,” according to a statement from Magee Mayor Jimmy Clyde, 2016-2017 MML President.

In other board business:

• Ricky Gibens made a presentation of the Hazard Mitigation Plan.

He said the plan is developed by State of Mississippi then passed down to the counties and all municipalities. Adopting the resolution means MEMA and FEMA can give Farmington grant assistance or help in time of disaster or need.

The board approved the resolution.

• The board took action on several items regarding the Farmington Water Association’s Community Development Block Grant, which cov-

ers two projects and will provide improvements to the water treatment plant and add additional water lines.

• The board approved a Fair Housing Resolution; adopted the Standard of Conduct code; approved the posting of advertising notice for the Implementation Public Hearing to be held on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 6 p.m.; approved an agreement for administrative service for the FWA board contingent upon receipt of the minutes showing the FWA board’s approval; approved two invoic-

es — for $69,325.20 to Hemphill Construction, for the water treatment plant, and $37,750.64 to Buzz Plaxico Dozier Service for the water lines; and the board approved a Change Order for Buzz Plaxico Dozier Service.

The change order was needed to repair a water leak.

• With the upcoming Christmas holidays not too far away, the board approved snowflakes to be made to go up on Kimberly-Clark Parkway.

They will obtain 25 of the snowflakes made with regular, incandescent bulbs at a cost of $155 each for a total of $3,875, half to be paid right away and the other half would be paid with next year’s budget, after October.

The decision was between incandescent bulbs and LED. After some discussion, it was decided there was no significant advantage for LED to justify the additional cost, which was nearly twice that of regular, incandescent bulbs.

• The board approved travel expenses for the court clerk in September, the deputy clerk in mid-October and for five board members to attend the Small Town Conference in Oxford near the end of October.

• Property on County Road 216 was approved by the board to be declared as surplus, so that it can be sold.
