BY JEBB JOHNSTON After a third instance of theft of expensive tires, a Corinth auto dealership is offering more reward money for information putting the thieves behind bars. Crossroads Automotive on U.S. Highway 72 West experienced two instances of tires stolen in July, and it happened

again about three weeks ago, said Dee Dee Smith, detective with the Corinth Police Department. In the most recent occurrence, suspects took rims and tires off a 2012 Avalanche from the detail shop on Galyean Road near the main dealership. In July, individuals took tires and rims from a 2011 GMC Sierra pickup

Harvey Moss reflects on 28-year House career BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Once a shy boy who dreamed of getting into lawmaking, Corinth’s Harvey Moss will soon leave office as one of the Legislature’s most senior members. In the last of his seven terms in the Mississippi House of Representatives, he took on the title of House majority whip. “As far as I know, I’m the first majority whip in the state of Mississippi,” said Moss. “I’d gladly go back to the old time when you didn’t need one.” Coupled with the retirement of Speaker of the House Billy McCoy, northeast Mississippi is ceding a considerable chunk of political power. “We’ve had some strong leadership and it’s paid dividends,” said Moss. “We’ve had the speaker. Prentiss had the speakership about 24 years if you count Tim Ford. Then we had the president pro

politics that same year, running for county attorney. “I did learn a lot about

politics when I ran for county attorney and didn’t get elected,” he said. “I got to meet a lot of people and got a pretty fair vote for a guy that just got out of law school.” At Ole Miss, he served in the student senate. “I majored in political science and always had an interest in politics, which is strange because I was very shy in high school,” said Moss. He had his eye on the district 2 House seat early on. “But timing is everything in politics, and I decided ‘83 was the time to try,” he said. The incumbent, Jet Wilson, had decided not to run again, leaving an opening that Moss was able to sieze as a rural Democrat, taking office in 1984. The two other representatives for parts of Alcorn County, Billy McCoy and Mack Loyd Wadkins, were beginning their second terms.

Legislative achievements In Moss’ first term, the first major program the local delegation tackled was to equalize education funding through the Chickasaw Session funds. “It was a big step,” he said. “We worked real hard and only had four or five votes against it.” The legislation that he calls the highlight of his career came just a few years later in the form of the 1987 highway program which led to the four-laning of U.S. Highways 72 and 45. He recalled a meeting in 1986 with other northeast Mississippi legislators who wanted to pursue a highway bill. “We started thinking about how could we get a highway program,” said Moss. “We had some hearings in ‘86 and everybody said, ‘You don’t have Please see MOSS | 5A

CES principal isn’t fooling around when it comes to students doing well BY KIM JOBE Corinth School District Project Director

Dale Walker of 1112 North Parkway in Corinth shows off one of two papaya trees he has grown in his combination vegetable, fruit and flower garden. The 80-year-old Master Gardner grew the plants from a seed of a papaya purchased in a local grocery store. The tropical plant can’t take cold weather and Walker is hoping the papaya fruit ripens before the first frost. “This has really amazed us this year,” said Walker’s wife, Ann, about the eight-foot tall papaya trees. Walker said gardening and landscape work on his three acres off Parkway is his favorite hobby.

When Corinth Elementary School Principal Denise Webb-Harrell dons her jester hat, she isn’t simply fooling around. Instead, the educator is looking for classes of students qualified for a HAT Party. Pulling around a HAT Party Bucket, wearing the silly jester hat and dancing to some festive music, Webb-Harrell randomly enters classrooms at CES checking to make certain the students all have completed three tasks: H - all must have their homework; A - all must be in attendance that day; and T - no student could have been tardy. If the chosen class’ teacher answers each question correctly, the students may choose a prize from the HAT bucket. On a recent Wednesday morning, Webb-Harrell sought HAT Party participants for the first time. The festive music the principal traipsed into classrooms using ranged from “R-O-C-K in the USA” to Kelly Clarkson’s rendition of

HAT: Educators created party CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

for the first of the events, only seven groups in kindergarten through fourth grade were qualified to participate in a HAT Party. Disappointment could be seen on the faces of students who didn’t earn the opportunity to pick from a wide-variety of prizes which included chips, brownies, mechanical pencils, plastic spinning tops, Chinese yo-yos and slap bracelets. The idea for the HAT Party came from fellow educators on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. “We plan to do it periodically, on different days of the week and at different times of the day,” Webb-Harrell explained.

The project is simply being used as a reward system for students. “The purpose is to encourage and reward students to always do homework, regularly come to school and arrive here on time and stay all day,” Webb-Harrell explained. According to WebbHarrell, all three schools in the district are hosting HAT Parties on their respective campuses. Art students at Corinth High School have been assigned the task of decorating the three HAT Party Buckets for all the schools.

Corn, salmon eggs, luck — I’m goin’ fishing May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it. — Irish Blessing BY CAROL HUMPHREYS Exactly one month ago on a beautiful late summer day, my husband Randy and I were sitting on the outside patio of a restaurant overlooking the Spring River in Arkansas. Our eyes were drawn to a pair of figures down on the river. One was a man dressed in fishing waders chest deep in the cold rushing water as he fished for trout. The other was an older woman sitting in her chair near the river’s edge at a bend in the river. She wore her pants rolled up to her knees as she calmly cast her line out into the fast-moving current. Twice we saw her pull a fish back in and add it to her stringer which already had several fish on it. We never saw the fisherman in the waders catch anything. He looked almost lost in all the churning water. I could tell Randy’s mind was fast working on an idea, one we had already been discussing. He noted the fisherwoman’s success and was setting on a quest to find the ideal spot. We were on our way home from a weekend fishing trip with my sister, Lisa and her husband, Steve. Randy and I had actually taken a last minute detour up to Spring River, as our original destination had been Lake Norfolk, west of the Spring River in the Ozark Mountains in northern Arkansas. The trip had been a 50th birthday gift to my husband from the kids and me. We had stayed at a quaint cabin beside another one occupied by Lisa and Steve. The small decks on the back of the cabins looked out over the dam at Lake Norfolk, showing lovely vistas of tree tops lightly brushed with the muted golds, oranges and reds of the approaching season. The tranquil lake stretched out before us, filling in the lake’s undulating islands and coves. I wish I could add, “and the sun shone brightly above.” But that was not the case. We came in Friday evening to sporadic rain showers and on Saturday a storm chased us off the lake. For the rest of the afternoon, the rain came down in torrents. We ate well. On our arrival Friday night, my industrious sister had a feast of grilled ribeyes, perfectly baked potatoes and grilled asparagus waiting for us. Saturday evening we went into a nearby town where I experienced eating Walleye, a fish the area is known for. Sunday morning as we headed to below the towering dam, rays of sun had begun lighting up the river. It promised to be a better day for fishing. This time, however, we were going to the shoals to try fishing for trout. Trout fishing was something Lisa and Steve had started doing in the past year and they shared their newfound expertise with Randy and me. I hadn’t been trout fishing since I was a young girl on the Little Red River near Heber Springs with my grandparents. We didn’t catch anything, but I learned a little more about slip sinkers, barrel swivels and salmon eggs. I, unfortunately, spent most of my time trying to untangle my line. I’ve got a challenge now -- to learn how to become an expert trout angler. Randy thinks he may have found the perfect spot, so we are going fishing again this weekend, this time south of Bull Shoals, near where the Buffalo and White Rivers meet. And we are camping, which may be another challenge as a cold spell is due to arrive mid-week. The real challenge could come when I try out my waders and its my turn to wade out into the cold, powerful water. Hopefully, instead, I’ll be sitting in my comfortable chair at a bend of the river, casting perfect arches into the fast moving current and reeling in big silvery trout. A fire will glow beside me, enveloping me in its warm heat. That’s my ideal spot. And when I bring home these trout to cook, I’m going to need some good recipes. If anyone has any good ones, please send them to me as I’m expecting to have a grand outdoor adventure this weekend and a stringer full of fish. (Carol Humphreys is newsclerk/reporter for the Daily Corinthian and a resident of Corinth. Please send any good trout recipes to chumphreys@dailycorinthian.com.)

Prayer for today Dear Lord, thank you for using us just as we are. Help us join with others as imperfect as ourselves to work in your kingdom. Amen.

A verse to share Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom. — Colossians 3:16 (NRSV)

Who should have a say on Colonel Reb? BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — The University of Mississippi’s drama over a mascot used to be considered a family affair — perhaps amusing to Mississippi State fans, but a matter that didn’t affect many people outside Ole Miss. Now, it could become every voter’s business. Ole Miss introduced a new mascot, Rebel Black Bear, in 2010 to replace Colonel Reb, the goateed old gentlemen who’d been banned from the sidelines since 2003 because some saw him as a racially insensitive remnant of longing for Mississippi’s long-gone plantation days. Many fans saw Colonel Reb as simply an avuncular, big-headed mascot, and his banishment was not universally popular. This past January, Rep. Mark DuVall, D-Mantachie, introduced a bill to require Ole Miss to bring back Colonel Rebel and to require the band to play “Dixie” and a similar song, “From Dixie With Love,” during football and basketball games. “To me, a colonel is a

leader,” DuVall told The Associated Press. “The same as Colonel Sanders is the leader of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Rebel is a leader of the Rebel nation.” The bill generated some talk but died. Lawmakers said they shouldn’t micromanage schools’ decisions about mascots or songs. Now, the Colonel Reb Political Action Committee wants to make the mascot an issue for the entire state. Arthur Randallson of Southaven, the PAC’s director, said the mascot election by the Ole Miss student body, which resulted in the Black Bear, was unfair because Colonel Reb was left off the ballot. He believes the old man “would have won in a landslide.” “That’s why there was fear of having Colonel Reb on the ballot ... students, fans and alumni would have voted for it,” said Randallson, an Ole Miss graduate student in Southern studies. But should a school mascot be ensconced in the state constitution? “The statewide voters pay their tax revenue to the

funding of Ole Miss. They have earned by their tax dollars the right to have a say in this issue,” Randallson said. Three initiatives will be on ballot this Nov. 8 — restricting eminent domain, requiring voter ID and defining life as beginning at fertilization. It will be at least a year before the mascot initiative could come up for a vote. Getting an initiative on the ballot can be tricky. State law requires voters’ signatures to be divided equally among the five U.S. House districts Mississippi used during the 1990s: in the northeast, the Delta, east-central, southwest and the Gulf Coast. The Legislature can draw its own proposal to submit to voters along with the original initiative. Randallson said the Colonel Reb PAC has gathered almost 10,000 signatures since starting the effort last month. At least 89,285 are needed. Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone hasn’t commented on the initiative but has said he wants Ole Miss

fans to unite: “We are too small of a school to compete with the big schools to be splintered.” The Colonel Reb initiative is one of four petition drives still active, according to the secretary of state’s office. The others would: — Prohibit laws forcing a person or employer to participate in a health care system or plan. Steven Palazzo was one of two GOP state lawmakers to file the proposal, before he was elected to Congress last November. Palazzo acknowledged when the ballot initiative was filed that it may duplicate efforts by Republican Gov. Haley Barbour to repeal a provision of the federal health care overhaul. But Palazzo said the law should be attacked from every angle. — Require people receiving public assistance, as well as contractors and subcontractors and state employees, to undergo random drug testing. — Provide that the state and its residents don’t have to obey any unconstitutional directives from any level of government.

Congress nixes Obama’s high-speed trains BY MICHAEL BARONE Dead. Kaput. Through. Finished. Washed up. Gone-zo. That, I think, is a fair description of the Obama administration’s attempt to build high-speed rail lines across America. It hasn’t failed because of a lack of willingness to pony up money. The Obama Democrats’ February 2009 stimulus package included $8 billion for high-speed rail projects. The Democratic Congress appropriated another $2.5 billion. But Congress is turning off the spigot. The Republicancontrolled House has appropriated zero dollars for high-speed rail. The Democratic-majority Senate Appropriations Committee has appropriated $100 million in its budget recommendation. That’s effectively “a vote of ‘no confidence’ to President Obama’s infrastructure initiative,” concludes transportation analyst Ken Orski, “a bipartisan signal that Congress has no appetite for pouring more money into a venture that many lawmakers have come to view as a poster child for wasteful spending.” The Transportation Department is struggling to push some of the previously appropriated money out the door. Some $480 million of planning, engineering and construction grants were

made to 11 state governments in September. But this doesn’t build many rail lines, and with one exception, none of them is really high-speed, like Japan’s TGV or Japan’s bullet train. The governors of Wisconsin and Ohio nixed train lines that wouldn’t provide faster service than current parallel Interstate highways. The governor of Florida cancelled a faster line between Orlando and Tampa, which are only 90 miles apart. The one remaining project that really promises highspeed rail travel, in California, faces cost overruns that would be astonishing -- except for the fact that cost overruns have been standard operating procedure in highspeed rail projects around the world. The feds insist California build a 160-mile segment in the Central Valley that is estimated to cost at least $10 billion and will have virtually no riders. The estimated cost of the whole project has zoomed from $43 billion to $67 billion, and there seems to be no prospect of any more publicor private-sector money. Obama has rhapsodized about the wonders of getting on a train across the street from your office and traveling to another city, and he has presented high-speed rail as a technology of the

future. But high-speed rail is futuristic in the same way as Disney’s original Tomorrowland. Gee, someday you’ll be able to take frozen peas from your freezer and heat them on your electric range. Passenger rail is an old technology that is particularly attractive to planners, the folks who want to force us out of our cars and into subways that travel only on the routes they design. Let’s make everyone live the way people do in Manhattan! This is contrary to the thrust of emerging information technologies, which let us take whatever path on the Internet we want. Sort of like automobiles. Moreover, the idea that it would be great to put high-speed rail lines all over the country shows an underappreciation of American geography and of some of the nation’s genuine strengths. High-speed rail can compete with air travel only over limited distances, but the United States is a continental-sized country. Japan and France, as you may have noticed, are a lot smaller. China, which is continentsized too, has been building high-speed rail, but it’s cutting back now and slowing down the trains after a bad accident. Brazil, also continentsized, is dropping plans for a Rio de Janeiro-Sao Paulo line. Its airlines and buses

already work fine. America’s alleged lag in high-speed rail is also a consequence of our excellence in freight rail. Over three decades after Jimmy Carter’s deregulation, freight rail has squeezed out costs and made shipped goods much cheaper for all of us. Europe and Japan have lousy freight rail and pay more for things. The reason that’s important is that truly high-speed trains cannot use freight rail tracks. Freight trains travel slower and have a hard time getting out of the way of passenger trains traveling 200 miles per hour. Japan’s bullet train and France’s TGV operate on dedicated tracks specially built for them. That’s expensive. As a frequent traveler from Washington to New York, I’d love to see a real high-speed train in the Northeast Corridor -- the only place in the country where it might make economic sense. But if not having one is the price to be paid for the demise of the Obama high-speed rail boondoggle, I’m happy to pay it.

a chance.’” Indeed, it didn’t pass in 1986, but they continued pushing the concept with safety and economic development as the big selling points. “At that time, 45 between here and Tupelo had some of the highest traffic counts for a twolane road of about anywhere in Mississippi,” said Moss. In 1987, “The Senate passed it fairly easily,” said Moss, but, in the House, “at two or three different times, one vote would have killed the bill.” It ultimately passed both chambers but was vetoed by the governor. However, lawmakers successfully overrode the veto. Funding sources for the $1.6 billion program included a motor fuel tax, a $5 car tag fee, a highway contractor’s tax, federal aid and proceeds from revenue bonds. “It was a unique program at that time which has been a model for other states,” said Moss. “I think we’ll see the benefits of that for years to come.” He believes it has saved lives and sparked industrial development along the transportation routes. Later in his career, he was excited to help secure the Tuscumbia Wildlife Management Area for Alcorn County after pushing for it for 15 years. “I learned to be patient and persistent,” said Moss. “Fishing and hunting mean so much to the state of Mississippi, millions and millions of dol-

lars, and a lot of people can’t afford to join fishing and hunting clubs.” He is disappointed that a lake for the site has never been funded. It was a goal he and the late Larry McCollum pursued for many years. “Twice I had it passed in the House and couldn’t get it through the other side,” said Moss. “This year, I couldn’t get it through, but Sen. Powell had it through on the Senate side. I hope whoever comes after me will continue the good fight on that.”

Memories from the Capitol In 28 years, he’s seen a bit of everything, working with five governors and meeting people such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, George H.W. Bush, Morgan Freeman and Hal Holbrook. For 16 years he stayed in the same room at downtown Jackson’s nowclosed Sun-N-Sand hotel, which served as home away from home for many legislators. Deals were often done in the storied hotel, such as the selection of Tim Ford as speaker. “Technically he was elected in the House chamber, but he was really elected in the Sun-NSand,” said Moss. “If that building could talk …” He has many memories of the lighter side of the Legislature. Early in Moss’ tenure, his friend Billy McCoy, who apparently has a little-known talent for composing verse, once read an “Ode to Harvey Moss” during a lull in business on the

House floor. Part of the poem goes: He soon became a much-loved Member With his long tongue and wide-mouth laugh And sloppy walk with legs long and limber. He is best known for putting on a show Counting votes in Judiciary — including that of Bilbo. Many terms later, Moss decided this is the year to exit the political arena. “I turned 60 this summer,” he said, “and I debated mighty hard whether to seek election. A lot wanted me to, and some of my advisors didn’t want me to.” His chairmanship of the Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review oversight committee is keeping him busy and on the road to Jackson right up until the end, and he hopes to continue to have a role. “I’d like to stay involved in the government somewhat,” said Moss. “You’ve got to stay busy. And I’m going to do some things I haven’t been able to do. Whoever serves, you make a sacrifice somewhat from your family.” With Mississippi politics becoming less cordial in tone, he will not miss being in the fray. “It’s getting worse,” he said. “It’s getting harder out there and more at stake, and it’s going to be hard this time because a few votes either way is going to decide who is going to be the speaker.” He believes recent years brought an increase in partisanship at the Capitol. “I hate to see it for Mis-

sissippi because I think that’s the problem with Congress,” said Moss. “If we get into too much battle over the parties, the issues get lost.” As he looks forward to spending time with three grandchildren and doing some hunting and fishing, Moss said he is grateful to Alcorn County for the opportunity to serve. He said the officeholder should always be mindful of his or her fleeting grasp on the position. “One thing you should always remember,” he said, “you’re just a caretaker. You’re there at the people’s will and pleasure.”

Life-at-fertilization plan has hope

State Olive Branch may limit vegetable sales

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS

Shooting injures 1 at apartment site

OLIVE BRANCH — Olive Branch officials will hold a public hearing Tuesday on a proposal to limit vegetable stands and other roadside sales to only certain sites. The Commercial Appeal reports (http:// bit.ly/o0Trjk ) Alderman Harold Henderson proposed the zoning text amendment. He said the change is designed to help develop Old Towne as the go-to place for such sales. Olive Branch Old Towne invited farmers to sell their produce this summer at the parking lot of City Hall. Much of the produce sold in Olive Branch is done along Mississippi 305. Crews will soon be working along the road to move utilities to widen the street. That also motivated Henderson. The proposed amendment would limit roadside sales to the property on which they were raised and to the C-5 Old Towne district.

JACKSON — A national effort to put abortion bans into state constitutions is looking for its first victory next month in Mississippi, where voters are being asked to approve an amendment declaring that life begins when a human egg is fertilized. Supporters hope the socalled personhood initiative will succeed in a Bible Belt state that already has some of the nation’s toughest abortion regulations and only a single clinic where the procedures are performed. The initiative is endorsed by both candidates in a governor’s race that’s being decided the same day. While Mississippi is the only state with such an amendment on the ballot this fall, efforts are under way to put the question to voters in at least four other states in 2012. Any victory at the state level would likely be short-lived since a life-atfertilization amendment would conflict with the U.S. Constitution. Leaders of the movement say

TUPELO — Authorities say one person is recovering from injuries sustained in a shooting at Barley Court Apartments in Tupelo. The Tupelo Police Department tells The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http:// bit.ly/qKZhU4) that the shooting happened Sunday around 5:30 p.m. The person who was shot suffered injuries that weren’t considered life threatening.

GREENVILLE — SentryNet Inc., a business founded in Greenville in 1987, will move its operations to Memphis by December 2012. Michael Joseph, vice president of SentryNet operations, said that the move to Memphis is because of the company’s desire to expand. Joseph says local operations will end April 1.

Deadline nears for Bras Across River

Associated Press

MOSS POINT — Brassieres are still coming in for the Bras Across the River breast cancer fundraiser on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Oct. 20 is the deadline to donate for the Oct. 28 event. The undergarments will be connected and stretched the length of the Miss. 613 bridge across the Pascagoula River. Trudi Mullins, organizer for Singing River Federal Credit Union, tells The Mississippi Press (http://bit.ly/p3pOZb ) it will take about 5,000 bras to span the milelong bridge. The credit union will donate $1 to the Susan B. Komen for the Cure Foundation for every bra donated at one of its branches in Moss Point, Pascagoula, Lucedale or Mobile. A similar bra-stringing fundraiser is planned across the Mississippi River at Vicksburg.

SentryNet moving to Memphis

“We feel like the docs and the patients are getting caught in the middle of a war between the anti-abortion folks and the pro-choice folks.” Dr. Wayne Slocum American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists their ultimate goal is to provoke a court fight to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that established a legal right to abortion. Opponents say defining life as beginning at fertilization could block some common forms of birth control and deter Mississippi physicians from performing in vitro fertilization because they’d fear criminal charges if an embryo doesn’t survive. They also say supporters of the amendment are trying to impose their religious beliefs on others to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies, including those caused by rape or incest. Those campaigning for the Mississippi initiative — including the Tupelobased American Family

Association — are using glowing images of babies in utero or chubbycheeked newborns, and say they’re trying to end a sin that blights America. The proposal being decided Nov. 8 has divided the medical community and bewildered some physicians. “We feel like the docs and the patients are getting caught in the middle of a war between the antiabortion folks and the pro-choice folks,” said Dr. Wayne Slocum of Tupelo, head of the Mississippi section of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a group that opposes the initiative. George Cochran, a University of Mississippi constitutional law professor, said even if Mississippi voters adopt the initiative,

he believes it’s unlikely to ever be enforced because it’s certain to be challenged and overturned in court. “Suits are brought, they have it declared unconstitutional,” Cochran said. “It’s not very difficult.” Cochran said there’s a 5-4 majority on the U.S. Supreme Court now to uphold Roe v. Wade. That and other Supreme Court rulings have required states to allow abortions up to the point that a fetus could survive outside of the womb — approximately 24 weeks. Still, a win at the ballot box “will send shockwaves around this country, then around the world,” predicted Keith Mason, cofounder of Personhood USA, the Colorado group that’s pushing the petition drives around the country. Mason’s group eventually wants to amend the U.S. Constitution to say life begins at fertilization, and he hopes the push for state constitutional amendments will create momentum. Similar “human life” amendments have been introduced on the federal level repeatedly over the past 30 years and have failed.

Dow Jones industrials

summit in Brussels Oct. 23 helped lift the S&P 500 to its biggest gain in two years last week. Germany’s finance chief Wolfgang Schaeuble said Monday those expectations were too optimistic. A batch of weak corporate earnings reports also pulled stocks lower. Gannett Co. Inc. plunged 8 percent, the most of any stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, after the newspaper publisher reported a drop in advertising. Wells Fargo sank after posting results that fell short of analysts’ expectations. At 12:25 p.m. Eastern, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 162 points, or 1.4 percent, to 11,481. Hewlett-Packard

Co. led the Dow lower with a 4 percent decline. The S&P 500 index slid 15, or 1.3 percent, to 1,209. The losses were widespread. Utilities were the only one of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 that rose. The Nasdaq composite fell 40, or 1.5 percent, to 2,628. Stock markets around the world rallied last week after the leaders of France and Germany pledged to come up with a far-reaching solution to the region’s debt crisis by the end of October. That pledge appeared to be pushed back by German officials Monday. Schaeuble said he expects European leaders to adopt a framework to tackle the crisis on Sunday.

A Great Message Jesus wants all people to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. He said, “Go ye unto the world, and preach the gospel to every creature --”this powerful message carries with it--when obeyed--tremendous results.” “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, he that believeth not shall be damned-condemned”--Mark 16:15-16. Now, we know, and understand why the gospel must be taught. One soul is of greater value than all the world. “What is a man proﬁted, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul”--Matt. 16:26. Man must not become so involved in making a living, that he forget about making a life. The Lord has correctly taught man how to correctly do both. The gospel is the greatest message of all.

St. Louis celebrates pennant BY JIM SALTER The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Among all major league teams, only the New York Yankees have had more success than the Cardinals. But in baseball-mad St. Louis, celebrating a pennant never gets old. Red-clad fans on Monday were reveling in another National League championship, a day after the Cardinals beat the Brewers 12-6. It was another milestone for the National League’s most successful team. The Cardinals have won three pennants since 2004 (the 2006 team won the World Series). The Cardinals, Dodgers and Giants have all won 18 pennants, but no National League team has more World Series titles than the Cardinals’ 10. They’ll try to get their 11th starting Wednesday at Busch Stadium against the Texas Rangers. St. Louis was clearly in the red Monday. Businessmen wore red ties or Cardinals jackets. The fountain at Kiener Plaza spewed red water. A few downtown buildings hung banners that read “Go

Cardinals.” The World Series figures to foster civic pride, but it’s an economic boost, too. Ruth Sergenian, economist for the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association, estimated that the playoffs and World Series will generate an economic benefit of $40 million to $52 million for the region, depending on how long the series goes. But she said the value extends beyond people coming to town and spending on food and hotel rooms. “The big impact you can’t measure is people looking at television and being introduced to St. Louis, what a nice place it is and how good it looks,” she said. Six St. Louis graphics companies worked through the night to make official “National League Champion” T-shirts and caps for Majestic Athletics, the Easton, Pa.-based rights holder for licensed merchandise. “The second that ball was squeezed in the glove for strike three they started production,” said Brad Leinbach, special events coordi-

nator for Majestic. “St. Louis is a very, very good baseball market. For the St. Louis market, we’re printing well into the tens of thousands.” Employees of the Cardinals team store showed up for work at 5:30 a.m. to sort out the new merchandise, and began selling it immediately when doors opened at 6 a.m., said Megan Curtis, manager of retail operations for the store. She hadn’t yet tallied sales but said they were very strong for the NL championship merchandise, and for anything referencing the “rally squirrel,” homage to the critter that scampered across home plate during Game 4 of the divisional series with the Phillies. “Everybody is really excited,” Curtis said. “They’re saying, ‘I can’t believe it happened.”’ Who can? The Cardinals were 10 1/2 games behind NL wild-card leader Atlanta on Aug. 25, just a little over a month before the end of the season. But St. Louis went 22-9 down the stretch, the Braves went 10-20, and the Cardinals slipped into the

playoffs on the final day of the regular season. The Cardinals beat the 102-win Phillies in the division series, then beat NL Central rival Milwaukee, who had a baseball-best 5724 record at home, by winning two games at Miller Park, including the clincher Sunday night. “It just seems like a miracle run,” Jack Keaton, 22, of St. Louis, said as he prepared to pay for two $40 caps and three $35 shirts at the team store. It certainly seemed like a miracle to Justin Dambacher, 25, of Springfield, Ill. Dambacher and three friends made the trip to St. Louis in hopes of scoring World Series tickets. By late morning, they hadn’t had any luck. For Dambacher, the Cardinals’ success had extra meaning. His dad, a huge fan of the team, died earlier this year at age 45. “This has been emotional, very special,” Dambacher said. “Especially when you have the season like this, where they had to fight so hard.”

Kelly rides first-year of success BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH -— No firstyear Aggie football coach over the last 55-plus years has had more success out of the gate than Brian Kelly. The Aggies are 8-0 under the 1999 Kossuth graduate, equaling the combined win total of the previous three seasons. With two regular-season games remaining -- home this week to Alcorn Central

and an Oct. 28 match with Holly Springs -- the 2011 edition can etch its name into the school record book. Only twice in the previous 54 seasons has Kossuth turned in a perfect regular season. The 1957 club, under Odell Rutherford, went 10-0 in capturing their second Tombigbee Conference title in the leagues sixth year of existence. Kossuth turned the trick

again in 1998, rolling to a 12-1 mark under Charlie Dampeer. The Aggies went unscathed in 11 regular season dates and garnered the program’s first playoff win over South Delta before falling to perennial power Amory in the 3A quarterfinals. Kelly was a part of the 1998 club. He returned in 2009 as an assistant, before taking over the reigns this season.

“Success here means more to me because it’s home,” said Kelly. “The kids, more or less, have bought into the weight program. They’ve seen how much all the coaches are involved, and that’s a lot different than in years past.” Senior Dominated Kossuth’s roster is littered with 19 seniors, 13 of Please see KOSSUTH | 9A

Corinth (26-9) returns all but one starter for the 2012 campaign. Outfielder Erin Frazier, who led the team with 10 home runs -- is the lone CHS senior. Competing in Class 4A for the first time, the softball team finished runnerup to Tishomingo County in Division 1-4A. Corinth got hot once the postseason started, winning six straight games

before dropping the state title to Newton County. Janna LaBarreare’s Lady Warriors swept through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The team went to Greenwood and came back home with 15-0 and 13-9 wins behind the six total knocks of Stennett Smith. Frazier’s two home runs sparked CHS past Houston in the following round. Corinth advanced to the North Championship behind a Smith grand slam that closed the door on the Lady Hilltoppers. With a state championship series berth on the line, Corinth played host to Tishomingo County. Elizabeth Wil-

liams, who entered the postseason with seven shutouts, collected her second playoff blanking by downing the Lady Braves 4-0 in Game 1. The junior, who finished 24-9 on the year, held the visiting club to only three hits in the contest. Corinth punched its ticket to Jackson and completed the sweep with a 10-6 victory over TC. Frazier had a pair of solo home runs in the 8-5 decision. Defending state champion Newton County ended the dream season with 7-0 and 8-7 wins on Saturday at V.A. Fields. Corinth’s infield returns in-

tact next season with a trio of juniors back for their senior campaign. Bailee Kramer (third base) and Haley Christian (first base) will be back at the corners. Anna Kayte Webb, who has started the last two seasons, returns for her freshman year at second. Smith, who connected for six long balls in 20011, is also back at shortstop. Williams is back for her final season on the mound and Katie Vandiver returns behind the plate. Outfielders Portia Patterson, who went deep six times on the year, Jamia Kirk and Rebekah Williams will be back to roam the outfield.

Local team reels in Crappie Masters title I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “This area has some of the best sportsmen anywhere around.” Once again another local fishing team has given validity to my claim. Bill and Roger Gant of Corinth went up against many of the nation’s top crappie anglers on the Alabama River near the town of Millbrook, Alabama to win the Bass Shops Crappie Masters National Championship that was held on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. The well- known gentlemen weighed in 21.48 lbs. of crappie during the two-day event to narrowly beat out the second place challenger by only .31 lbs. in laying claim to the coveted prize, which included two 2011 Nitro Z7 boats with 150 hp Mercury Optimax motors and a Titelok seat stand. Their route to winning the title began with prefishing excursions on the Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the tournament. They started out by fishing Swift Creek and caught several crappies, and on the following day they tried their luck on the river and found the fishing to be much tougher. The choice was easy to make as to where they should drop their lines once the big day arrived. Winning a championship fishing tournament is rarely easy, and it sure wasn’t for Bill and Roger. The fellows did manage to catch 10.81 lbs. of crappie while fishing in 10 to 14 ft. water on day one, but at the conclusion of the weigh-in, they found themselves six notches down from the top of the leader board. Day two was a whole

new ball game. The conditions had changed and the water level made a drastic drop from the previous day, causing the crappie to pull back towards David d e e p e r Green water. Bill and Roger Outdoors made the Writer correct assessment and rallied to make their winning catch while fishing water in the 17 to 21 ft. depth range. The gear, tackle, and techniques used during the tournament were the same as they’ve always employed while taking clients out through their crappie guide fishing service. They used special rods made by B and M poles to help in detecting light strikes, quarter ounce hair jigs which Bill makes himself, and the side- trolling method of fishing which they’ve used for many, many years on their home lake of Pickwick. According to a report, the Gant brothers said winning the championship was a dream come true. Many sportsmen dream big about being the best at their perspective sports. With perseverance, hard work, and determination like the Gants displayed, a dream can become a reality. Alcorn County resident David Green is an avid hunter and fisherman in the Crossroads area.

KOSSUTH: ‘When I got here I went looking for more players’ CONTINUED FROM 8A

which were on the 2007 roster as freshmen. Eleven of the class are starters -- including four two-way players -- two more comprise the kicking game, while five of the other six are apart of special teams or a substitute on the sideline. “You’re usually as good as your senior class and we have great senior leadership,” said Kelly. “They come to practice everyday and give it all they’ve got.” Quarterback Jay Vanderford had accounted for 892 yards of offense and 12 TDs heading into the Ripley contest. The third-year starter under center also starts in the secondary. Zach Cooper was the team’s leading rusher through seven games -583 yards -- while also returning a pick from his cornerback spot. Cooper, who also came up with a huge kickoff return for a score against Belmont and broke up a gametying TD pass against Booneville, is one of six seniors that didn’t debut with the program in 2007. “When I got here I went looking for more players,” said Kelly. “You’ve got to maximize talent at a school like Kossuth and you do that by getting as many out as you can.” Tyler Pittman, who was listed as an offensive lineman as a freshman, is a key cog on both sides of the ball. As a running back he’s netted 474 yards on the ground and nine touchdowns from scrimmage, in the first seven weeks. At his linebacker spot, the fourth-year Aggie leads the team in total tackles (43) and solo stops (25). Heath Wood paces the team across the board in receiving with 16 grabs

for 360 yards and three scores, including a 79yard strike in the Division 1-3A opener. On defense, his fourthquarter interception and ensuing return against Booneville gave KHS a short field for the eventual game-winning score. All but 12 of Kossuth’s 187 points have come from seniors. Austin Emerson’s 20 PATs and one field goal, along with Joseph Moreland’s jaunt against Baldwyn round out the upperclassmen scoring. Seniors are found at the top of most statistical categories, including Dylan Rider’s four fumble recoveries. Junior’s Jordan Elam and Chase Settlemires provide the exception with 5.5 sacks each. Scheme Success Kossuth might lack for style points, but the Aggies have found success in their game plan. Heading into the Ripley game KHS was averaging 26.7 points and 320 yards per game -237 on the ground. Kossuth’s size on the offensive line has allowed the Aggies to pound opponent’s with a stellar running game. In turn that has led to long scoring drives that keep the opponent’s offense off the field and a stellar Aggie defense fresh. “Our lineman have had success in powerlifting and that’s carried over to the football field,” said Kelly. “Half the battle is won on the line. We know we’re strong, so we play to that strength.” Continued success will also lead to more accolades for the Aggies. A Division 1-3A title would be just the fourth for the program, joining the 1985 and 1998-1999 clubs.

McCourts settle deal; Frank gets Dodgers BY GREG RISLING The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Frank and Jamie McCourt have reached a settlement in a costly and nasty feud over control of the Los Angeles Dodgers, paving the way for a showdown in bankruptcy court between the embattled team owner and Major League Baseball. The deal was struck between the former

couple, but the terms will not be released, according to a joint statement Monday from Frank and Jamie McCourt. The Los Angeles Times (http://lat. ms/nUPOKH ), which first reported the settlement, said Jamie McCourt would receive about $130 million. As part of the agreement, Jamie McCourt will withdraw her opposition to the proposed sale of the Dodgers’ media rights, a move her ex-husband says

would alleviate his financial woes. Instead, she will file a motion supporting the process, according to the statement. “From the beginning, Jamie has consistently expressed her willingness to accept a settlement, even if it required her to give up her interest in the Dodgers, the team she loves, if a fair resolution were possible,” Jamie McCourt spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said in a separate

statement. “That has now been achieved through the cooperation of everyone involved and Jamie looks forward to moving on and focusing on new opportunities.” The divorce case has been placed on hold until a bankruptcy court in Delaware determines the fate of the team. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday and a judge will consider dueling motions over four days starting Oct. 31.

If a fertilized egg in a petri dish were to be defined as a person by 0955 Legals passage of the Personhood Amendment, it is very likely that IVF would no longer be an option in Mississippi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially for couples at risk for having a baby with a life-threatening genetic defect who now can choose IVF and have a healthy baby.

However, current Mississippi law does not protect an unborn child from being destroyed by his or her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice or as part of a scientific experiment, because the unborn child is not legally classified as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;person.â&#x20AC;?

But, for the thirty eight years since Roe, the legal rights of personhood have been denied both to babies formed inside the womb and to those outside the womb by way of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cloningâ&#x20AC;? and embryonic stem cell experimentation.

Not only would Mississippi couples who just want a baby be denied the option of IVF, certain forms of birth control â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like IUDs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would be suddenly illegal, and miscarriages could become suspect.

By recognizing the personhood of our tiniest brothers and sisters, we will ensure that the preborn receive equal protection under the law regardless of their size, location, developmental stage or method of reproduction. Argument against the Petition: Lynn Evans, public health advocate Sometimes an idea that seems promising has disastrous consequences. This is true for the Personhood Amendment.

In the 33 years since the first in vitro baby, hundreds of Mississippi couples who just wanted a baby of their own have thanked medical science for in vitro fertilization [IVF]. The treatment requires â&#x20AC;&#x153;harvestingâ&#x20AC;? the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eggs, fertilizing the eggs outside the womb, and implanting the best one or two zygotes back into the womb. There, with luck, they will develop into healthy babies.

Since more than two eggs are harvested for IVF but only the best two candidates are usually implanted, what happens to the other fertilized eggs if they are defined as people? Can they be frozen, as is usually done? If frozen fertilized embryos are people, can they inherit property?

Medicine defines a pregnancy as an implanted egg. If a fertilized egg in a petri dish were to be defined as a person by passage of the Personhood Amendment, it is very likely that IVF would no longer be an option in Mississippi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially for couples at risk for having a baby with a life-threatening genetic defect who now can choose IVF and have a healthy baby.

BALLOT SUMMARY: Initiative #31 would amend the Mississippi Constitution to prohibit state and local government from taking private property by eminent domain and then conveying it to other persons or private businesses for a period of 10 years after acquisition. Exceptions from the prohibition include drainage and levee facilities, roads, bridges, ports, airports, common carriers, and utilities. The prohibition would not apply in certain situations, including public nuisance, structures unfit for human habitation, or abandoned property.

Initiative #31 would amend the Mississippi Constitution to prohibit state and local government from taking private property by eminent domain and then conveying it to other persons or private businesses for a period of 10 years after acquisition. Exceptions from the prohibition include drainage and levee facilities, roads, bridges, ports, airports, common carriers, and utilities. The prohibition would not apply in certain situations, including public nuisance, structures unfit for human habitation, or abandoned property. Argument for the Initiative: David Waide, Initiative Sponsor Eminent domain is the power to take private property for public use. Recently, governments have taken private property and given it to private developers for their own personal gain. Because of this, 43 states have enacted eminent domain reform. Our Legislature tried to do so, but was vetoed. Last year, the people of Mississippi spoke up, clearly and unmistakably. Over 100,000 citizens signed petitions calling for an eminent domain reform initiative to be placed on the 2011 ballot. The initiative follows the action passed by the Legislature but necessarily differs in one respect: it expressly prevents any property taken by eminent domain from being turned over to any private developer for 10 years, which is a strong deterrent. Defending eminent domain cases is expensive and beyond the means of most citizens, while the government uses our tax money to take away our homes and property. People of limited resources are at the greatest risk of becoming victims. Opponents will argue that reforming private property laws will stifle economic development. However, the facts clearly show that this has not been the case in the many other states where reform has been enacted. Though eminent domain appears complicated, the basic question is this: Should a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house or farm be taken and turned over to a private developer immediately?

Please vote no.

The U.S. and Mississippi Constitutions currently prohibit government taking property for public use without just compensation. Mississippi law further protects your land rights through a system of checks and balances. In those extremely rare cases of eminent domain for major projects, state agencies, local governments, the Legislature and the Governor all must agree that it is for public use. Additionally, the landowner can always challenge the taking in court. Mississippi has made tremendous strides in creating jobs through major projects such as Nissan, PACCAR, Ingalls Shipyard, Stennis Space Center and Toyota. Without eminent domain, none of these projects would exist. If Initiative 31 passes, it would cripple the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to create good-paying jobs for Mississippians. When nearly 10 percent of Mississippians are in desperate need for a job, we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adopt policies that would hurt job creation.

Private property is an American cornerstone based upon the concept that your home is your castle. It is a basic freedom that must be safeguarded. Last year, Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardworking citizens lifted their voices to insist that the power must rest with the people instead of with the rich.

Even worse, Initiative 31 could hinder your ability to sell your land. Because Initiative 31 will prevent industrial development, it will mean that landowners who would like to sell for such a development will not be able to do that and surrounding landowners will lose the increased value of their land that development would cause. Our state constitution already protects landowners. The system has worked for over 100 years. If implemented, Initiative 31 will needlessly and negatively hurt Mississippi families.

Briefly Associated Press

Cain says his rise in polls is for real WASHINGTON — Presidential hopeful and pizza executive Herman Cain says he “won’t be a flavor of the week” and his sudden climb to the top of GOP presidential polls will last. A recent spate of polls showed Cain joining Mitt Romney and Rick Perry in the top GOP tier. Cain said Sunday that his signature 9-9-9 tax plan would lower taxes for most Americans, but conceded some middleclass-Americans might pay more. The plan would scrap the current federal tax code and replace it with 9% rates for personal income and corporate taxes and add a 9% national sales tax. Many independent analysts say Cain’s plan would lower taxes on the rich and raise them for many middle class Americans, but the Georgia businessman disputed those doubts on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Cantor: Jobs debate not about personality WASHINGTON — House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says Republicans and the Obama White House are struggling to agree on a plan to ease unemployment because “a lot of folks on the other side want to boil this down to personality.” Cantor was asked on “Fox News Sunday” about accusations the GOP has obstructed Obama’s proposals. He said “the differences we have with this president are policy-based.” Cantor said federally-directed stimulus efforts don’t work. And he said that while Republicans agree with President Barack Obama that “there’s too much income disparity in this country,” they want economic policies that lift all segments of society. Cantor acknowledged that “the people of this

country want to see us trying to set aside those differences and actually come together on the things we can agree on.”

Occupy Wall Street marks 1 month NEW YORK — The month-old Occupy Wall Street movement continues to grow, with nearly $300,000 in the bank and participants finding satisfaction in the widening impact they hope will counter the influence on society by those who hold the purse strings of the world’s economies. The expanding occupation of land once limited to a small Manhattan park in the shadow of the rising World Trade Center complex continued through the weekend, with hundreds of thousands of people rallying around the world and numerous encampments springing up in cities large and small. For the most part, the protest action remained loosely organized and there were no specific demands, something Legba Carrefour, a participant in the Occupy D.C. protest, found comforting on Sunday. “When movements come up with specific demands, they cease to be movements and transform into political campaign rallies,” said Carrefour, who works as a coat check attendant despite holding a master’s degree in cultural studies. “It’s compelling a lot of people to come out for their own reasons rather than the reasons that someone else has given to them.” The demonstrations worldwide have emboldened those camped out at Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the movement that began a month ago Monday. But there is conflict too. Some protesters eventually want the movement to rally around a goal, while others insist that isn’t the point.

Obama seeks action on jobs bill pieces BY JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will urge Congress to get to work this week on passing pieces of his larger, now-defunct jobs bill during a three-day bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia, two southern states that will be critical to his reelection campaign. The two-state swing, which kicks off Monday in Asheville, N.C., is Obama’s latest attempt to combine campaigning for his jobs bill with campaigning for his reelection. While he has pledged to travel the country pitching his plans to get Americans back to work, his stops

have focused heavily on political swing states, underscoring the degree to which what happens with the economy is tied to Obama’s re-election prospects. The bus tour comes as the fight over Obama’s jobs proposals enters a new phase. The president’s efforts to get his entire $447 billion bill passed were blocked by Senate Republicans, leaving Obama and his Democratic allies to push for the proposals contained in the bill to be passed piece by piece. That means the president’s rallying cry this week could go from “Pass this bill” to “Pass these bills.” Presidential spokesman

Jay Carney told reporters traveling with Obama that the White House expects the Senate will take action first on a proposal to send aid to states and local governments so that they can hire or prevent layoffs of teachers, police and firefighters. The president has proposed $35 billion for that purpose. Carney said, though, the decision is up to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and that an announcement from Reid was likely soon. Despite Obama’s calls for urgency, it appears the lawmakers may not take up individual components of the president’s bill until November, at the earliest. The Senate is set to debate appropria-

tions bills this week, and lawmakers have a scheduled break at the end of the month. Obama is also touting another elements of his jobs package, $50 billion in new spending on infrastructure. Obama’s stops on the bus trip are designed to highlight those aspects of his plan, including his first stop at the Ashville Regional Airport, where the White House says government funds could be used to renovate a runway and create construction jobs. The president will also speak at community colleges, high schools and a firehouse as he travels through North Carolina and Virginia this week.

Half of teens shy, but for a few itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more serious BY LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Does your teen show normal nerves about the weekend party, or always stay home? Nearly half of teenagers say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shy, perhaps a bit surprising in our sayanything society. But a government study finds a small fraction of those teens show signs of a troubling anxiety disorder that can be mistaken for extreme shyness. The report challenges criticism that the terms â&#x20AC;&#x153;social phobiaâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;social anxiety disorderâ&#x20AC;? medicalize normal shyness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shyness is a normal human temperament,â&#x20AC;? says lead researcher Dr. Kathleen Merikangas of the National Institute of Mental Health, whose teachers always noted her own childhood shyness on her report cards. But just as it can be hard to tell when feeling sad turns into depression, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is a blurred boundary between people who describe themselves as shy and clinically significant impairment,â&#x20AC;? Merikangas adds. The difference: The shy can be drawn out and adapt, while teens or adults with full-fledged social anxiety become so paralyzed during social situations that it interferes with everyday functioning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out on dates or do any of the things that other kids did,â&#x20AC;? recalls Cynthia Kipp of Tehachapi, Calif., who shared her story of years struggling with social phobia with the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. Now 48, she thinks her first anxiety symptoms began in fourth grade, when she can remember hiding under her coat in class, but worsened in high school when she

tried drugs and alcohol for relief. Eventually she found treatment that worked. The report also opens a window into the broader field of temperament research. Even garden-variety shyness worries parents, particularly fathers of boys, says Dr. Nancy Snidman of Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Boston. In school-age boys especially, â&#x20AC;&#x153;shyness isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very well tolerated in the United States,â&#x20AC;? says Snidman who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved with the new research. Snidman and colleagues at Harvard Medical School have tracked infants to their college years, and know that babies who react very negatively to new people and objects tend to grow into shy children. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; caution is considered an important evolutionary adaptation. Usually, the clinging tot does just fine as he or she grows older and finds a niche, Snidman says. Girls may think the shy teen boy is nice because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not macho, for example, or the shy kids wind up on the school newspaper so they can write instead of do public speaking. Many outgrow their shyness. Yet a very shy child is considered more at risk than others of later developing some type of anxiety disorder â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just as the opposite extreme, a very outgoing child, can be at greater risk for attention or conduct disorders, she says. The new study, published by the journal Pediatrics, is based on in-person surveys of more than 10,000 U.S. teens about a variety of mental health issues. More than 6,000 of their parents were surveyed, too. About 47 percent of the teens identified themselves as shy around peers they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know well. More

than 62 percent of parents thought their teens were shy, perhaps a reflection of parental worry. Then Merikangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team analyzed how many teens appeared to meet the American Psychiatric Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criteria for social anxiety disorder or social phobia. Roughly 1 in 10 of the self-described shy kids did. Social phobia tends to appear during adolescence when kids take their first real steps toward independence, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little information about how often. The National Institutes of Health estimates it affects about 15 million adults. The surveyed teens werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t formally diagnosed; Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Snidman cautions that what a specialist observes can be quite different from what a teen recalls. Still, those identified as potentially socially phobic were more likely to have another mental health problem, such as depression or substance abuse. But they were no more likely than the other teens to be taking psychiatric medications. There are anxiety-treating medications but the main treatment is behavioral therapy, exposing people very gradually to fear-inducing situations and teaching them coping techniques Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worried parent to watch for? This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t standard stage fright, where you get sweaty palms before a speech but each one you do becomes easier. People with social anxiety disorder experience a more out-of-proportion fear that can make them shake, their hearts pound, or even cause a panic attack during a range of social situations. They start avoiding those scenarios.

Thomas Norman of Corinth is executive director of the Mississippi Alliance of the Boys & Girls Club. He spends much of his time on the road meeting with political leaders so that boys and girls have a positive place to grow. He is in his Corinth office on Monday and Tuesday before hitting the road on Wednesday. Boys & Girls Clubs serve over 54,000 youth ages 6-18 each year in the state. There are 23 organizations and 71 club sites in Mississippi, including Corinth, Booneville and Iuka.

Corinth’s Norman goes after funds for all Boys & Girls Clubs in state BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Thomas Norman fell in love with the Boys & Girls Club. An affection so deep that he travels from one end of the state to the other securing funds to the keep the social program alive in communities. The executive director of the Mississippi Alliance of the Boys & Girls Club spends much of his time on the road meeting with political leaders so that boys and girls have a positive place to grow. He is in his Corinth office on Monday and Tuesday before hitting the road on Wednesday. “It’s not a 9 to 5 job,” said Norman. “There are a lot of late nights, but I enjoy doing it because I believe in the mission.” In the state, Boys & Girls Clubs serve over 54,000 youth ages 6-18

each year. There are 23 organizations and 71 club sites in Mississippi, including Corinth, Booneville and Iuka. Norman — a father of two boys — keeps the road hot to Jackson targeting legislatures on behalf of the Boys & Girls Club and visiting Club sites. “I have woke up and forgot what city I’m in,” said the executive director. “It’s a balancing act between the job, soccer and Boy Scouts.” The Alliance is almost like a trade association for the Boys & Girls Club, according to Norman. Around for 10 years, it unites the independently operating Clubs and is a means of distribution of state funding to those member Clubs. “What I do is work with state agencies and legislatures to try and secure funding for Clubs,” said

Norman. Norman spends a majority of his time trying to educate state leaders on what the Boys & Girls Club does. “They want to know where the money is going and what it’s being used for,” said the former Corinth Boys and Girls Club Director of Development. “Every time I meet with one of them, I put the information out there.” An important statistic Norman can pass on to state leaders is the impact Boys & Girls Clubs play to reduce the dropout rate. Those active in the Club have a 90 percent chance of graduating. The average high school dropout rate is 33 percent with the number rising to 50 percent for Latino and African-American males.

TAX COLLECTOR

“I am knowledgeable, healthy and have close to 40 years of experience in duties similar to those of the Tax Collector’s office. I can assure the people of Alcorn County that I can fulfill the duties and obligations of the office. I have learned along the way that experience builds character and integrity. I am well seasoned in dealing with people’s needs and concerns. Determined to represent this office with the utmost respect and consideration, I will be dedicated to the position of your Tax Collector for Alcorn County.” -Larry Ross Husband of 31 years to Sherry, daughter of the late Harold and Kate Vanderford McNeil. Father to Holly, Katie and Lauren. Grandfather to Lee, Brandon and Caleb. Son of the late Jim and Ludie Ross.

GOALS FOR OFFICE OF TAX COLLECTOR • Provide quality service to the taxpayers • Determine if tax collector’s office can be more accessible to the taxpayers. • Maintain a highstandard of ethical conduct. • Manage the Tax Collection office efficiently.

Nov 8th QUALIFIED SERVICE ACCESSIBLE EFFICIENT ETHICAL

The The Collector is a vital link between the citizens and many programs that affect them. It is a job that requires someone incredibly honest and efficient, which are both characteristics of my Dad. However, the most important quality that defines my Dad is his genuine care for people. He has a heart for his fellow man and respect them. When making important decisions, he faces them head on with prayer and honesty. He bases his decisions on what is right, not what is popular. -Holly Ross Garner, daughter of Larry Ross Some of my Dad’s finer qualities were displayed during my Grandfather’s battle with cancer. He always made himself available to anything needed during the critical time. He wouldn’t have had it any other way. To my Dad, this is what you’re supposed to do in difficult times: step-up, make it work and give it everything you’ve got and he did until the end. If Alcorn County is looking for the person that will step up when it really counts, then vote for Larry Ross on August 2nd! -Katie Ross, daughter of Larry Ross When it comes to serving others, my Dad does it with a kind heart, honesty and integrity. I believe he has proven that fact through his involvement in our church, family, and community over the years. He doesn’t do these things because he has to, but because he Wants to. No other candidate is more involved in our community than Larry Ross and as a voter, that should weigh heavy on your mind when considering who to elect as your next Tax Collector. -Lauren Ross, daughter of Larry Ross

NORMAN: Budget woes affected clubs

Corinth’s Civil War — Tishomingo Hotel

CONTINUE FROM PAGE 2B

BY TOM PARSON Columnist

Norman also can point to another stat that effects the whole community. “When Clubs open, the crime rate drops,” said the 36-year-old Corinth resident. Times got tough in 2010 when Boys & Girls Clubs were zeroed out of the budget. “We fought really hard getting everyone put back in the budget,” said the executive director. When Norman started in September of 2008, the Club was receiving $2 million in state funding. The funding came back in at $1 million after being originally left out and now sits at $2.3 million for the coming fiscal year. “We are starting to see a turnaround and things are looking good for next year,” said Norman. “One thing I have learned is you can’t count on what you are getting now to continue.” Funding from the state makes up less than 20 percent of Club funding. A majority of the revenue comes through private donations along with federal and private grants. “If the state cuts in areas like this, they are facing bigger problems in the future,” added Norman. “This is not an overnight thing, it’s a long term investment.” Over the past three years, around 20 sites in the state have been closed. “That’s sad because it’s in communities where it’s needed most,” he said. When not meeting with legislatures, Norman visits Clubs around the state, auditing records to make sure they meet state guidelines. “I have been to places in the state that I didn’t know existed,” he said. With funding secured for the year, Norman now sets his sights on the next year. “Because of the efforts of the last two years, we have made significant strides getting the message out,” said the director. “We have seen the worst and are on the up side.” On the up side and ready to hit the road again come Wednesday.

(Editor’s Note: This the first of a nine-part series of frequently overlooked sites in and around Corinth.) It’s gone now. It didn’t make it through the war. In fact, the iconic Tishomingo Hotel, the symbol of wartime Corinth, stood for a mere six years. The site itself is paved over, a parking lot tucked between the Crossroads Museum and the Tourism office. Across the tracks are several exhibit panels sprinkled across Trailhead Park. A few moments spent with the historic markers, one graced with “Decision at the Crossroads” painted by Keith Rocco, and it’s easy to slip back in time and see the old hotel still standing across the tracks of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad. The hotel was designed and built by Swiss immigrant Martin Siegrist who was lured to Corinth in 1857 to build the Corona Female College. (Siegrist also built the Corinth Machinery Works which still stands adjacent to the old hotel site and is often mistaken for it.) Martin’s vision became the two story brick hotel nestled into the southeast corner of the soon-to-be-famous railroad junction. Easily the largest building in town at the time, the hotel was easily identified by the eight chimneys, the two story wrap-around porch on three sides and the large sign proudly proclaiming “Tishomingo Hotel.” As with any building of size there were a number of out buildings. In a fenced backyard behind the hotel, stood four structures, the largest of which was the hotel’s kitchen. Snug up against the back of the hotel, the yellow and white kitchen had two tall chimneys, tall enough so the smoke would not intrude on guests staying on the second story. Adjacent to the east side of the hotel was an artesian well which was known to rise to the surface in a fountain. The hotel was located on the choicest piece of real estate in town and was destined for

a long and rewarding future. Had it not been for the war, of course. In the earliest days of the war, Corinth was used as a marshalling point and training camp for Confederate troops. The hotel was pressed into service as a hospital and it was in this capacity it was used for most of the conflict. After the Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862, wounded men were placed in every corner of the hotel as well as every other public building, hotel and warehouse. A yellow flag fluttered from the roof, identifying it as a house of healing. Kate Cumming, a nurse from Mobile, working at the hotel in the days following the battle was aghast at the sight, “nothing that I have ever heard or read had given me the faintest idea of the horrors witnessed here.” The hotel was again pressed into service as a hospital during the Battle of Corinth in October 1862. At one point Confederate artillery pierced the brick walls, eviscerating a soldier being taken upstairs on a stretcher. Two Union generals, grievously wounded were brought in for treatment. Gen. Richard Oglesby survived, Gen. Pleasant Hackleman did not. During the very height of the battle on Oct. 4, fighting swirled around the hotel which briefly fell into Confederate hands. In the months following the battle the hotel was still in use as a hospital but was allowed

In the months following the battle the hotel was still in use as a hospital but was allowed to take up its original function, providing lodging for visitors, as well as the site of an impromptu school house for the children of runaway slaves. Nineteen-year-old Maude Morrow of Aberdeen, Ohio, in Corinth to nurse her ailing father, wrote “From among the children of the refugees I organized and taught a school on the upper veranda of the Tishomingo … this was the first crude, little contraband school organized in the great state of Mississippi.” about marching into Corinth and told her of the fate of the Tishomingo Hotel. He wrote, “We found the Old Tishomingo Hotel in Corinth in flames probably set on fire by the Rebs who left the place on learning of our approach”. An old story about town holds that local citizens came to the still smoking rubble of the hotel and carted off the bricks for their own use. Who knows? Maybe a bit of the old hotel is still with us. The original oil painting “Decision at the Crossroads” by artist Keith Rocco, which depicts the fighting around the hotel during the Battle of Corinth, is on permanent display at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Also at the center are numerous photos and drawings of the Tishomingo Hotel and other research materials. The center is located at 501 W. Linden St. and is open 8:30 to 4:30 daily. Park staff can be reached at 662-287-9273.

Over the following year troops from both sides came through Corinth but neither stayed for any great length of time. The end for the hotel came in January of ’65, surprisingly, at the hands of the Confederates. The Army of Tennessee, battered and bloody from its tragic defeat at Nashville, came to Corinth under the command of Lt.Gen. John Bell Hood. When the army left town, continuing a retreat in the direction of Tupelo, the hotel was full of supplies with no available transportation to move them. To prevent the supplies from falling into enemy hands the torch was set to the hotel. Lt. James K. Newton, a Union soldier in the 14th Wisconsin Infantry wrote his mother

Many residents call downtown Corinth ‘home’ BY CATHY WOOD For the Daily Corinthian

During business hours, downtown Corinth is crowded with shoppers, diners and the folks who work there. But at the end of the day, as customers drift home and employees turn off the lights, the downtown area transforms into its secret identity: A neighborhood where people live. Don’t see any houses around the square? Look up — above the retailers and professional offices that line the sidewalks you’ll find several secondand third-floor spaces that have been renovated into rental apartments. And while city officials don’t have an exact count of how many apartments are available and how many people live downtown, it’s clear that the area is attracting some fans. “I really enjoy living downtown,” said Tom Mazeroll, managing partner of Pittman Propane, who lives in an apartment above Cooley and Labas Financial Advisors on Cruise Street. “It’s so convenient, and I do a lot of walking around. It feels very safe.” Jeremy O’Neal, a psychologist with the Tishomingo County School District who rents an apartment in the same building, agreed. “I enjoy having easy access to the downtown festivals and being able to walk to restaurants and shops,” he said. “It’s easier to enjoy all that if you live in the center of it.” An advocate of downtown living, Mazeroll fell in love with Corinth when he first started traveling here on business several years ago. “I helped out here every once in a while and then the opportunity came

to move here temporarily for six months. I love the people and places so much, I jumped at the chance,” he said. “That was five years ago.” Mazeroll is so enthusiastic about Corinth that he puts up with a crosscountry commute to work and live here — he alternates a week in Mississippi with a week at his home in Imperial, Calif. “The only reason I don’t move to Corinth full-time is because I don’t want to uproot my family,” he said. “My mother-in-law lives with my wife and I, and I can’t take them away from the children and grandchildren.” Imperial is a small town much like Corinth, Mazeroll said. “What’s funny is that there was a big redevelopment push in my town and I was sort of behind that. I envisioned a vibrant downtown with apartments on top and small business on the bottom, and then when I saw downtown Corinth, I said, ‘This is exactly what I want for my town,’” he said. When he first came here, he stayed at a local hotel but soon tired of packing up and checking out every time he flew to California. “At first I went looking for someplace on my own but couldn’t find a place I was comfortable with,” he said. “Then one of the women I work with suggested looking in downtown Corinth, so I did, and immediately felt as if this is where I should be.” Mazeroll acknowledges a couple of downsides to downtown living: No outdoor space or place to to grill. And while some might consider living a few hundred yards from busy train crossings to be a negative, he doesn’t. “Since I love to grill, I do missing having some-

place to do that,” he said. “But you know, the trains don’t bother me at all. The first couple of nights I wondered what I’d gotten myself into, but now I don’t even notice them. Unless there’s a new conductor who wants to make a lot of noise. You always can tell when there’s a new one.” The train noise doesn’t bother O’Neal, either. “You get used to it,” he said. “The apartment’s bedrooms are in the interior and don’t have any windows, so it’s like sleeping in a cocoon. I rarely hear the train at night.” Originally from Madison, O’Neal moved to Corinth from his job in Biloxi. “I do a lot of traveling in north Mississippi and south Tennessee, and the drive up from the coast was getting too hard,” he said. “So when I got the job as school psychologist in Iuka, I researched the area and realized there seemed to be more to do in Corinth. And then, because of my age and wanting things to do, people told me I should live in Corinth.” However, when he started looking for a place to live, he couldn’t find any modern apartment complexes and or houses to rent. His brother, who works with real estate agents here, steered him toward apartments in the downtown area and O’Neal was hooked. “I like living so close to the festivals and everything going on downtown,” he said. “I lived that way when I went to school in Starkville, and it’s really fun to have that access.” While he’s happy there’s no yard work —“I’m at the point where I prefer not to have the responsibility,” he said — he would like a balcony to take ad-

And, while he’s wishing, he’d prefer a different parking option than sim-

ply on the street. But both O’Neal and Mazeroll said that despite minor inconveniences, they felt at home in down-

town Corinth. “I’d encourage anyone to live there,” Mazeroll said. “I can’t imagine living anywhere else.”

Junior Auxiliary of Corinth Local women’s organization focuses on meeting needs of children BY L.A. STORY SIKORA For the Daily Corinthian

From a single annual fundraiser, the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth manages to fund a year’s worth of projects that benefit the needs of area children. Each year the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth holds its annual Charity Ball. The event draws a lot of local attention with the menu, the music, the celebration, the silent auction, and the announcement of the year’s Most Outstanding Citizen. However, it is the quieter events for the year following the ball that are the heart and soul of why the Corinth JA exists. The Corinth JA is a service organization of local women who manage to take the funds raised from their single fundraiser and utilize them to help

meet the needs of area children. Their focus is solely on children. The service projects are wide and varied. Local JA member Kim Rhodes named several projects that are mainstays and one which is about to be implemented. The following are Corinth JA service projects: ■ Caseroom – A program in which they provide a week’s worth of new clothes and a new coat for underprivileged elementary school-aged children. The Junior Auxiliary has managed to clothe over 200 children this year. ■ Art Smart – A program that promotes an interest in art for elementary students through a hands-on approach. ■ Camp Hollywood – A week of fun and games for special needs children. The program

Survey: Health insurance costs surge BY TOM MURPHY AP Business Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — The cost of employer-sponsored health insurance surged this year, snapping a trend toward moderate growth, but experts say these increases may slow again in 2012. Annual premiums for family coverage climbed 9 percent and surpassed $15,000 for the first time, according to a report released Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust. Premiums for single coverage rose 8 percent compared to 2010. That compares to increases last year of 3 and 5 percent for family and single coverage, respectively. The study shows that premiums for both family and single coverage have more than doubled since 2001, while

worker wages have risen 34 percent. Kaiser CEO Drew Altman said a number of factors may have played a role in this year’s percentage jump. He noted that health care costs continue to rise, and insurer profits and the health care overhaul also have some impact. The overhaul, which Congress passed last year, aims to eventually cover millions of uninsured people. Kaiser said initial provisions of the law contributed between 1 and 2 percentage points to this year’s premium hikes, which is about what many insurance analysts and benefits experts expected. Companies and workers split premiums for employer-sponsored coverage, the most common form of health insurance in the United States, and employers generally pick up 70 percent of the bill

or more. Businesses likely reacted to these cost increases by giving a smaller raise or no wage increase to their workers, said Helen Darling, CEO of the National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit organization that represents large employers on health care issues. “(Workers) basically are giving their pay raise to the health system,” said Darling, who was not involved with the Kaiser study. “It’s really bad news.” The annual study was conducted earlier this year and includes results from more than 2,000 companies nationwide. It also indicates that many more families than previously believed have benefited from a popular provision in the overhaul that allows young adults to stay on a parent’s health plan until they turn 26.

exams for area fifth and sixth grade students. ■ Baby Steps – A soon-to-be implemented project that will provide a small packet to low income families. The packet will include a blanket, a warm outfit for their newborn baby, and a childrens’ prayer. ■ Scholarships – Each year the Junior Auxiliary provides several area seniors with either the Glenn Davis Gray scholarship (for students pursuing a degree in the medical profes-

sion) or the Grant in Aid scholarship. The Junior Auxiliary of Corinth has been around a long time, as local service organizations go. Documentation provided by a JA member stated that the local service organization was 29 members strong when it began in June 1947 as the Junior Service League of Corinth. The organization voted to affiliate with the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries in 1957. Today, the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth is one of many chapters in several states. From a warm blanket for newborns to scholarships for college, the Corinth Junior Auxiliary continues its focus every year to meet the needs of area children.

I will be a strong supporter of Medicaid. The time has long since passed when we can depend on families to take care of their elderly. Children and grandchildren simply do not have the means to support their aging or disabled family members. In our part of the world, Medicaid is a necessity. I believe in the story of the Good Samaritan, and I will always be your Good Samaritan in Jackson. I will never walk on by and leave another human being behind in the ditch for need of a doctor. I intend to work hand-in-hand with the economic development counsel in our district to bring jobs back to District 3. The majority of our lost jobs have been furniture related; as most of you know, those jobs have gone to China. We need to take steps to bring these jobs back home to North Mississippi, and I will work diligently to do so. We have to disconnect from China. I don't want to be a slave to the Chinese. I don't buy their products, and I encourage you to do the same. I have had the opportunity to talk to many of you over the last several months, and I know what's on your minds and in your hearts.

Witty, sad, realistic creates Friend who threatens suicide has tragic example in her past an entertaining film BY TERRY BURNS Movie Critic

50/50, R, ***1/2,Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, Philip Baker Hall; Director Jonathan Levine; written by Will Reiser; length -- 100 minutes “50/50” is based on a realistic friendship between Seth Rogen and his friend Will Reiser. Reiser wrote the screenplay based on his real life experience. Everyone has their own idiosyncrasies. Friends understand this and accept the faults of others in order to keep their friendship intact. Friends are hard to find, so we must accept them with their strengths and weaknesses. Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Kyle (Seth Rogen) are friends working at a local radio station in Seattle, Wash. Adam is quiet and reserved while Kyle is loud and outgoing. Their friendship is like most close friends. Adam does not drive a car. In fact he does not have a license. His friend Kyle picks him up every morning and they go to work together. Kyle Terry Burn’s movie reviews Ides of March, R, ****1/2, Moneyball, PG-13, *****plus Killer Elite, R, ***1/2 Contagion, PG13,**** The Debt, R, *****

is generally late while Adam is always punctual and dependent. Adam runs and takes precautions to stay healthy. He has a girlfriend but she does not seem to be truly interested in him. Adam likes the simple life and wants someone he can trust while being in love. Kyle is happy-go-lucky and loves to party. He does not have a steady girlfriend. He just wants to play the field. Adam is having trouble with his back. He decides to make a trip to the doctor. After several tests, the doctor walks in and promptly begins to tell him he has cancer and, and he will have to take chemotherapy. The coldness of some doctors is demonstrated with insensitivity. Individuals should have a more tactful way to deliver bad news. The chemotherapy begins, and the sadness of a young person facing this situation is revealed with harsh reality. The music tracks with the story. This exceptional film is both funny and sad. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross introduced The Five Stages of Grief in her 1969 book “On Death and Dying.” The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, not necessarily occurring in this order. Adam has trouble telling his parents and friends about his illness. His mother is

played by Anjelica Huston. She is very protective of him and wants to take care of him. His father is played by Serge Houde who has Alzheimer’s. Katherine (Anna Kendrick) is Adam’s therapist. She is working on her doctorate. The two of them do not get along very well at first. However, that changes as the film progresses. The song “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees says a lot in this heart-warming film with the lyrics, “You don’t know what it’s like.” It seems a lot of people want to help, but what they say or do does not exactly communicate the right words or gestures. I found myself getting wrapped up in the characters and becoming anxious as to how the film would end. “50/50” refers to Adam’s chances of living. I recommend viewing this film. It has a touching story and a unique cast. The viewer will leave the theater happy they experienced it. (Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System.

Gina Rogers Smith Candidate for Superintendent of Education I am Gina Rogers Smith, a candidate for Alcorn County Superintendent of Education. My motivation for seeking this position is for the betterment of EVERY CHILD in the Alcorn School District. My goal will be to inspire Every Child, boy or girl, to set high standards for themselves and not let someone limit them because of their gender, where they came from, who they are, or the color of their skin. The importance of education has always been emphasized in our family. Alan and I taught our children to believe in God, love your family, believe in yourself, complete your education, and work with integrity. Our children are both graduates of the Alcorn School District. Audriana is a 2010 graduate of Mississippi State University with a degree in chemical engineering. Currently she is enrolled in Mississippi College in Clinton where she is pursuing her master’s degree in Medical Science with the intention of entering Medical School. Slater is currently a sophomore at Mississippi State University majoring in Medical Technology. We instilled the value of a quality education in both our children and I want to do the same for EVERY child in the Alcorn School District. With both our children away at college, I feel that I can be fully devoted to the needs of Every Child. If you put your trust in me, your children will never have limits placed on them by anyone in the Alcorn School District. November 8th will be a critical point in time where you will have a voice in this decision of who should lead this school district. If you are ready to move forward in a new and exciting direction, go to the polls and vote for Gina Rogers Smith, Superintendent of Education, Truly for EVERY CHILD. follow my campaign on facebook at voteforginarogerssmith Paid for by Gina Rogers-Smith

Grand Illumination takes much time, volunteers BY STEVE BEAVERS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The popularity and positive response has been overwhelming. People drive from hours away to come and see the event.â&#x20AC;?

sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Grand Illumination is less than a month away. Planning for the magnificent lighting of the 12,000 luminaries in Downtown Corinth begins a long time before the first candle is lit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost immediately after the candles are put out, we begin planning for the next one,â&#x20AC;? said National Park Service Ranger Tom Parson. That means thousands of bags will need to be pre-folded, a pound of sand added in each one, along with thousands of new candles placed to make the event happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this on our own,â&#x20AC;? said Parson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes plenty of volunteers.â&#x20AC;? Volunteers and a building to store the 80 pallets of luminaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need a very large building to hold all of the luminaries,â&#x20AC;? added Parson. Event organizers were able to secure the old Chadco Building on Tate Street to store the finished products. Luminaries will be constructed at the warehouse and remain there until the day of the event Nov. 12. Grand Illumination â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a partnership between the Corinth Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and the National Park Service â&#x20AC;&#x201D; uses about 200-250 volunteers to cast a scenic glow around the downtown area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have worked out most of the kinks and pretty much know what we are doing at this point,â&#x20AC;? said Parson. While work on the project begins soon after the last luminary has been put out, most of the load starts six weeks from the event date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On rainy days when there is little to do, we will

National Park Service Ranger Tom Parson gets a bag, sand and candle ready for the Grand Illumination event. About 12,000 luminaries will be placed in Downtown Corinth on Saturday, Nov. 12. The event made possible by the National Park Service and tourism office requires the help of several hundred volunteers to pull off the event. have our seasonal help fold bags and when there is time I will build a bunch myself,â&#x20AC;? said Parson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we kick it in overdrive by mid-October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start contacting our volunteers about a month out,â&#x20AC;? said Tourism Director Kristy White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be supplied direc-

tions, a map and a lighter.â&#x20AC;? Close to 200 lighters will be used during the lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kristy really guides our meetings,â&#x20AC;? said Parson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done without her.â&#x20AC;? Luminaries will be placed at the site of Battery Robinett, the Corinth

Civil War Interpretive Center, and then connect the park with downtown. Each of the 12,000 candles lit represents soldiers who lost their lives in the Siege and Battle of Corinth along with Battle at Davis Bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are placed in the exact position of Battery

Robinett and then we try to keep them in very straight long lines like troop ranks,â&#x20AC;? added Parson. Corinth Junior High students gathered by teacher Beverly Henson help in the construction of the luminaries on the weekend.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the rate those kids work,â&#x20AC;? said Parson. The grand day for the 4:30 p.m. lighting begins at 7 a.m. for Parson and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end until around 9 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day of the event we leave two people at Shiloh and bring the rest of the staff up here,â&#x20AC;? said the park ranger. A total of 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including some seasonal folks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; park workers are on call during the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities. Pallets with luminaries are loaded up and dropped off for volunteers to begin placing them along the routes. The luminaries will remain lighted until 8:30 p.m. with the lone exception being ones on the Interpretive Center grounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ones at the Interpretive Center stay on all night,â&#x20AC;? said Parson. The park staff convenes early the next morning to pick up all 12,000 luminaries. All of them are collected and workers are done by 10 a.m. according to Parson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The popularity and positive response has been overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? said the ranger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People drive from hours away to come and see the event.â&#x20AC;?

Shelter continues efforts to find homes for animals BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter is not a “pound” — it is an animal shelter that houses lost, homeless or abandoned animals and provides a caring environment until the animal is either reclaimed by its owner, placed in a new home or placed with another organization. It is a temporary home for the area’s castaways — animals dropped off by the Corinth and Farmington animal control officers and members of the community. The only animals euthanized at the shelter are the ones considered truly and irreparably unfit for adoption for reasons of health or behavior. The shelter’s current incarnation was founded on Aug. 1, 2011, by private donations, the City of Corinth, the City of Farmington and the Alcorn County board of supervisors. It has a pending 501(c)(3) public charity organization under the state of Mississippi and the IRS service code and is managed by community leaders and a volunteer staff. The shelter is moving forward with plans to build a new structure adjacent to its current building, although no city nor county funds have been budgeted for the project thus far. The addition will be a similarly sized building with a concrete floor to house offices and adoptable animals and the current building will be converted into an animal hospital.

With donations coming in, fundraisers planned and plans for the new building being drawn up, the shelter is moving forward to help out with Alcorn County’s orphaned animals. “Because the county supports us and allows us to have this facility, Alcorn County is going to have a very special facility,” said Mynatt. While progress is being made there is still a great need. “If every person in Alcorn County donated one dollar — just one dollar — think about where we would be,” said Mynatt.

The building was also inspected by an electrician, said Shelter Director Pherbia Mynatt, and was found not to pose a fire hazard. The directorship is an unpaid volunteer position. Mynatt is a certified veterinary technician. Dr. Locke and Dr. McGee serve as the shelter’s veterinary advisors. A recent fundraiser for the shelter — Hot Dogs for Cold Dogs — was held at the Corinth American Legion to purchase igloo houses for the dogs and the event raised over $3,400. Another event the shelter will soon hold, again in conjunction with the American Legion, is coming up on Nov. 17. It will be a spaghetti dinner fundraiser to purchase cages that will allow them to bring smaller animals inside. Kroger also held a fundraiser, garnering $405 for the shelter.

The shelter has an extensive “wish list” for donations. Highest ranking on the list is bleach, which is used in cleaning. Items needed include bleach, newspapers, cat litter and litter pans, dry and canned dog and cat food, Igloo dog houses, towels, collars and leash-

es, food bowls, and dog and cat toys. Also included in the list is “your time as a volunteer” and adoption sponsorships. Each month approximately 100 pass through the shelter. Many are reclaimed by their owners — but many have to await adoption. While most common, dogs and cats aren’t the only types on animals to go through the shelter. There have been rabbits, owls, chickens and one

If an animal has been at the shelter for over five days and is cleared of any medical and/or behavioral problems, the animal becomes available for adoption.

Lisa Lambert and the Pine Ridge Boys Bluegrass band remains one of more accessible groups for area venues BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Lisa Lambert and the Pine Ridge Boys are one of the more accessible bluegrass bands out there. Almost every week the band plays at least one show at a venue or event somewhere in the area. From the Iuka American Legion bluegrass nights to Corinth’s own Pickin’ on the Square — this is a hardworking band that has stayed true to their deep musical roots. Lambert, the fiddleplaying front-woman of the band, grew up in the late 1960s and early 1970s. She said she always liked rock ‘n’ roll and country music, but the musical influence that led to her playing with the Pine Ridge Boys started with her grandmother, Lillie Isom. Born in 1899, Isom was the daughter of a fiddle player who played the traditional folk styles that would eventually give birth to bluegrass and country music. The time Lambert spent with her grandmother as a child and the beautiful old songs they sang together gave Lambert an authentic foundation for the kind of music she would devote herself to years later. Lambert began taking piano lessons at age 6 and began learning the guitar two years later. The portable nature of the guitar greatly appealed to her, she said. She played country and rock music in her teenage and college years, but eventually the world of work took over and she set her music aside. But it remained part of her life and identity.

The road to the Pine Ridge Boys opened up 10 years ago when Lambert began playing with the Sparks Family Singers, a bluegrass gospel band that had been around for almost four decades. “That made me think of my grandmother,” Lambert remembered. “I knew when the opportunity came up I wanted to play old time gigs on my own.” She learned of the Pine Ridge Boys through Bryan Sparks, of the Sparks Family Singers. Started by Sparks in the 1940s, the Pine Ridge Boys played old time, or hillbilly music. While similar in sounds to bluegrass, the main difference is that in bluegrass certain instruments take “breaks” — a mandolin or banjo will strike up a solo with the other instruments taking a backseat supporting role. The Pine Ridge Boys had a hillbilly band radio show in the 1950s with a huge following. They also won a radio contest for their own show on Tupelo’s Channel 9 television station. Over 7,000 people wrote the station in favor of the Pine Ridge Boys — outranking Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, who would go on to become bluegrass legends. Lambert was playing with the Sparks family when Buford Sparks died six years ago. With the members getting older, Lambert wanted to do something with the pioneering musical group before any of the other members passed away. A chance opportunity to play with the Pine Ridge Boys as a backup band was the catalyst for Lambert’s successful partnership with the band.

Lisa Lambert and the Pine Ridge Boys are a local institution for fans of traditional-style music — with roots reaching back to the genesis of bluegrass. “I had an opportunity to play at a school,” Lambert explained. “I asked them to back me up — and we’ve been together ever since.” Now the group is comprised of Lambert (fiddle and guitar), her husband Scott Nunley (harmonica), Bryan Sparks (mandolin and tenor vocals), Nolan Wells (dobro), Lynn Grissom (banjo) and Bobby Dennis (bass). Everybody sings and they swap around on the instruments as well.

Seasons In The Sun

“Everybody’s versatile and we swap around on instruments,” Lambert said of her bandmates. “Constantly I’m amazed by these guys.” They play a wide variety of material, from old time country, to comedy and hillbilly music — all done in a bluegrass style. Now Lambert and the Pine Ridge Boys have a loyal crowd of followers who support them at shows in Northeast Mississippi and around the region. While it is mostly

an older crowd at their local shows, they have seen an increase in interest among young people and even teenagers when they play shows in Memphis and Kentucky. “The movie ‘O Brother Where Art Thou?’ got national attention and got a lot of younger people interested for a change,” Lambert explained. Last month they played a show at the Bill Monroe Center in Kentucky. They have a good-sized following in Memphis who

come out to hear their brand of “hillbilly blues.” They regularly play in schools. As part of the Mississippi Artists Roster they have opportunities to play educational programs in schools. In these programs, they play a 20-minute concert and then have a 20-minute “instrument petting-zoo” to teach the students about the traditional bluegrass instruments. “I can’t tell you how many times some of the kids said they didn’t want to come to the program, but after it, they wanted to learn to play an instrument,” said Lambert. Every other Friday night they play at the American Legion in Iuka. “Those are our home shows in Iuka,” Lambert said. “That crowd is great.” Another venue for their music is the Internet. They have their own Jango Internet radio channel which plays their music and the music of similarly-styled bands. Their brand of music has attracted a number of fans from Japan. In its second week, Lambert and the Pine Ridge Boys’ channel made it into the Top 1,000 stations worldwide, a considerable achievement considering the multitude of internet radio stations. The inspiration all goes back to a lady born in the 19th century, Lambert’s grandmother, Lillie Isom. Now her grandmother has passed on, but her influence remains in the music Lisa Lambert makes with the Pine Ridge Boys. “My grandmother really was the main inspiration,” she said.

Volunteer drivers take veterans to VA hospital in Memphis BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

On a recent Tuesday morning, a half-dozen men are gathered in the MSU Extension Center next to Crossroads Arena. They are mostly retirement age, one appears to be in his late thirties, but they are all here for the same purpose — to learn the ins and outs of becoming a volunteer driver to transport veterans to the Veteran’s Administration hospital in Memphis. The training program is held when there is a need, when several potential drivers have expressed a desire to volunteer. A volunteer coordinator travels to Corinth so the volunteers can be on their home turf and not have to make a 200-mile drive to Memphis and back. Bill Parker, the Corinth veterans service officer, explains the basics before the regular instructor arrives. The van is owned by the federal government, which pays for gas, service and insurance. While the insurance covers any damage on the van, each driver must have regular insurance for their own safety. On runs from the Corinth Courthouse to the VA hospital, the drivers are not allowed to make trips away from the route to pick up passengers. The van will, however, pick up veterans along the route at the Phillips 66 station on U.S. 72 in Walnut. “It’s okay for us to pull in there, pick them up and drop them off,” Parker explains. “But for insurance reasons, we can’t pick them up in New Albany — we cannot deviate from Highway 72, Highway 240 and the VA hospital. And we can’t run to Wal-Mart.” Only the veterans can ride in the van. If for reasons of disability a veteran needs his wife to accompany him, he needs a letter from the doctor stating the need. The van is not to be used

The exception is for hearing-aid issues, which can be done on a walk-in basis. The van will make the run if only one veteran is scheduled for an appointment. Sometimes there will be only two passengers. If one veteran has an appointment at 8 a.m. and the other at 2 p.m. the van will arrive early enough for the first and stay late enough for the last. Parker says he was amazed by how many vets utilize the van. From the middle of May to the end of September, the van has made 74 trips to Memphis. “I didn’t realize there were so many veterans with the physical and financial condition to need it,” he said. “There is definitely a need.” After Parker’s introduction, some forms are passed around for the volunteers to complete. John Gray, the volunteer coordinator for VMAC in Memphis, arrives to complete the orientation program. “Today’s going to be like going back to school,” Gray says. “We’re going to have a whole lot of quizzes.” Forms have to be filled out and fingerprints taken. The orientation’s main parts are the VAA privacy training and

the statement of commitment. These must be done every year, as well as a quiz on defensive driving. There is a volunteer agreement that explains what is expected of the drivers (and what they can expect from the VA) and a driving record check. As volunteers of the VA, Gray explains, the drivers are considered unpaid employees. If injured in the line of duty, they will be treated at the VA’s cost, up to a $40,000 bill. The most important part of the orientation, Gray explains, is the privacy training. “Think of your time with the veterans as Vegas — what happens there stays there,” he says. “That’s the quickest, easiest way of getting in trouble.” Nothing can be discussed regarding the veterans in the van. Gray has another way to illustrate this point: “If you’re a patient at the VA and you see yourself, you can’t go home and tell yourself you saw yourself,” he says. “The privacy training is the biggest thing you can take away from this training session.” (To find out more about how to volunteer for the veteran’s van, contact Volunteer Transportation Coordinator John Gray at 901577-7248.)

AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — The robot boxers of “Real Steel” and the dancers of “Footloose” are in a tight fight for the box-office title. The Hugh Jackman tale about machines in the boxing ring took in $16.3 million, which would make it the No. 1 movie for the second-straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. But “Real Steel” came in barely ahead of the remake “Footloose,” which opened with $16.1 million. Studio estimates are based on actual business Friday and Saturday and projections for Sunday based on how well similar movies typically hold up. “Footloose” was doing especially strong business

1. “Real Steel,” $16.3 million ($23.3 million international). 2. “Footloose,” $16.1 million. 3. “The Thing,” $8.7 million ($1.5 million international). 4. “The Ides of March,” $7.5 million. 5. “Dolphin Tale,” $6.3 million. 6. “Moneyball,” $5.5 million. 7. “50/50,” $4.3 million. 8. “Courageous,” $3.4 million. 9. “The Big Year,” $3.3 million. 10. “The Lion King,” $2.7 million ($5.2 million international). in the Midwest and South. “Footloose” is a new take on the 1980s flick about a youth (Kenny Wormald) challenging a town’s ban on dancing. The remake also features Dennis Quaid and former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Julianne Hough. Universal’s horror up-

date “The Thing,” about Antarctic researchers stalked by a shapeshifting alien, opened at No. 3 with $8.7 million. Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson’s bird-watching comedy “The Big Year,” released by 20th Century Fox, flopped at No. 9 with a $3.3 million opening.

Manners matter, especially when using any type of mobile device around other people.

K FAMILY FEATURES

ids ages 8 to 12 are spending as much as two to three hours each day on mobile devices such as laptops, netbooks, tablets or smartphones, according to a recent survey by Intel. That translates into a significant amount of time that parents can use to take advantage of teachable moments to reinforce good etiquette and safety. Practicing good manners is not a new concept to kids, but when it comes to using mobile devices, what makes for good manners is not always so clear. After all, the parent who doesn’t allow his children to have cell phones at the dinner table but himself checks email throughout the meal on his smartphone is sending a mixed message. The same Intel “Mobile Etiquette” survey showed that 59 percent of children have witnessed their parents commit common mobile infractions, including use of a mobile device on the road, at dinner and during a movie or concert. Children look to their parents as examples in all things, and technology is no exception. Parents who hop off the phone when checking out at the grocery store and refrain from sending emails during a child’s soccer game can effectively demonstrate the appropriate times and places for mobile interaction. Establishing guidelines and setting expectations that all members of the household adhere to can go a long way toward promoting good mobile manners. Here are some tips from author and etiquette expert Anna Post of The Emily Post Institute: n

Determine house rules. As a family, discuss ground rules for how you’ll each use — or not use — mobile devices.

Set boundaries for mobile usage in the car, at restaurants and during special events, such as family movie night. Parents, be willing to limit your behavior, too, such as, “Mom, no texting during my soccer games,” or, “Dad, no calls during family movie night.”

Create a policy that prohibits sharing words or images that would embarrass another person or get them into trouble.

Respect requests to silence mobile devices in public places, such as the movie theater or doctor’s office.

Reinforce school policies regarding use of mobile devices during school hours and at school-sanctioned activities.

Safety Savvy

Modeling good behavior and clearly defining rules are also important when it comes to mobile devices and safety. When good mobile manners are not practiced, technology can be used by individuals with unsavory intentions to threaten the privacy and safety of the entire family. There are several steps parents can take to protect the entire family’s physical safety and privacy: n

Use technology to engage with each other. Visit websites together to learn what your kids are looking at online and why.

Place the family computer in an open, central location so children aren’t isolated while using technology.

Set age-appropriate restrictions on mobile Internet usage, whether through your mobile carrier, parental control settings or guidelines that you establish and monitor.

Set a good example and teach your kids and teens to be mobile manners superstars with these simple tips: n

Give the people you are with your full attention. We can give a better impression with simple eye contact, and let’s be honest, that email, text message or tweet can wait a few minutes.

Strictly adhere to the laws in your state regarding phone use while driving, and never email or text behind the wheel.

The surge in mobile device usage among all ages has created a new level of connectivity. A 2011 report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project stated that 85 percent of U.S. adults own a cell phone, 52 percent own a laptop computer, 4 percent own a tablet, and only 9 percent do not own any of these or other devices covered in the study. However, rules around using this technology are still being determined. Said Genevieve Bell, Intel Fellow and head of interaction and experience research, Intel Labs: “Mobile technology is still relatively novel. After all, it was just 8 years ago that Intel integrated WiFi into the computer with its Intel® Centrino® processor technology, thus enabling the unwired laptop. Smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices are really still in their infancy, so it’s no surprise that people still struggle with how to best integrate these devices into their lives.” Following these tips allows parents and kids to stay connected and enjoy the positive benefits of technology, while teaching good manners and protecting the entire family.

Be present.

Small moments matter.

If your actions will impact those around you at the restaurant or the store, reconsider replying to that email while checking out until you’re in your parked car. n

Practice what you preach. If it bothers you when your kids use a mobile device in the car, be sure to consider that the next time you’re in the car and want to send a message or play Angry Birds to pass the time.

cial. But it’s more than the menu that makes Kellogg’s place so inviting. With tropical touches, local art work and a cool and casual vibe, she’s renovated the decadesold space into a warm and vibrant modern gathering spot. “I’m here to serve people’s needs,” said Kellogg, who opened Lime Island Chill in September. “I love the culinary arts, and I want to serve healthy and nutritious food in a welcoming space.” Starting her own business in downtown Corinth is a homecoming of sorts for Kellogg, who grew up in Corinth but married and moved away years ago. Working in sales and marketing and as a finish specialist in interior commercial construction, she moved and traveled frequently through the years but recently returned to Corinth to help with a family business. This is the move that’s inspired her to combine things she loves best. “This past year I went to Costa Rica on vacation and loved it,” she said. “I would have stayed there but I have daughters in college, so I decided to transport the Costa Rica islands to Corinth. Although, honestly, it probably would have been cheaper to have opened a business there.” With a vision in place, Kellogg searched Corinth for business space and fell in love with the building on North Fillmore. “When I first saw it, it was solid white and everybody told me I was crazy, that it was an old building and needed so much work,” she said. “But it had so much character, I couldn’t resist. And, besides, I haven’t done everything perfectly because people in Costa Rica don’t have any money anyway!” Combining Costa Rican

details with Corinth mementos has resulted in an eclectic and intriguing decor. Vintage booths from a defunct downtown restaurant sit in front of a brightly colored beach-scape mural Kellogg and her mother painted on the dining-area wall. In keeping with her determination to reduce waste, Kellogg stocked her kitchen with as much used equipment and furniture as she could find in local antique shops and thrift stores, and she features local artists who use recycled elements in their work. In addition, Kellogg believes in healthy eating. She’s developing an allnatural soy- and rice-based ice cream and in the meantime is serving an organic and natural frozen yogurt. Customers choose their yogurt flavor and then add on toppings themselves from an array that includes fresh fruit, nuts, cereal, granola and cookie and candy bar pieces as well as chocolate and caramel syrups. Kellogg then weighs the result and customers pay by the ounce. By tapping in to her own creativity with Lime Island Chill’s menu and atmosphere, Kellogg hopes to inspire others to do the same. “My siblings and I were home schooled and our parents encouraged us to expand our creative natures,” she said. “With the economy today, people are pressured to be educated in one area, and we push our creative natures to the side.” She plans to renovate the upstairs floor as a meeting space for young people to hold club meetings, poetry readings and theatre performances. She also plans to sell her own island-themed coffee blend as well as mocha mugs with Lime Island Chill logos. “And I’m going to restore these beautiful windows,” she said, “so people can look across town and see the wonderful view of downtown Corinth.”

The roundabout on Harper Road was put to the test in October last year when the nearby Corinth Elementary School opened. There have been few accidents at the roundabout since it opened a little more than a year ago, although some motorists still have trouble on which driver has the right-of-way.

After year in use, traffic data for Harper roundabout are good BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A little more than a year after it went into use, traffic statistics are favorable for Corinth’s roundabout at South Harper Road and Droke Road, although motorists are still having some struggles with it. The police department has recorded no injury-producing crashes at the intersection. “And we’ve had very few accidents of any kind,” said Police Chief David Lancaster. During its first couple of weeks of use in September 2010, a few people failed to navigate around the circle and ended up in the grassy center of the intersection. Since then, the roundabout has been mostly accident-free. “We’ve had a couple of rearend type crashes,” the chief said. Those low crash numbers are why traffic engineers like the concept: By forcing motorists to slow down and by keeping all traffic moving to the right, it generally takes dangerous “T-bone” crashes out

of the equation and, with the reduced speeds, makes potential crashes less serious. Lancaster said it’s working despite some kinks in how it is used. “One misconception we see is people on Harper Road feel like they have the right of way, and that’s not true,” he said. And with traffic zipping through on Harper at a steady clip, “Your Droke Road people are afraid to pull out,” he said. Vehicles can often be seen waiting to exit Droke to go southbound on Harper, but they can’t because a string of southbound vehicles on Harper fail to yield. Street Commissioner Jim Bynum said in the last few months there have been two instances of a motorist running over street signs at the roundabout. About 15 locations across Mississippi have modern roundabouts, which function differently than older-style traffice circles, with about half of the roundabouts located in Jackson.

The roundabout has come a long way since the huge traffic jam on Harper Road in October last year when the new elementary school opened on Droke Road.

Historic Jacinto Courthouse survives storm BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The death knell for the boomtown of Jacinto came in 1870 when old Tishomingo County split into three. Jacinto supporters believe the ghost town barely dodged a potential death knell again in 2011. The tornado that hit the Rienzi area during the April tornado outbreak took down an enormous amount of trees, and the area of the historic courthouse was not spared. “If it had been one more hill over, it would have destroyed it,” the Jacinto Foundation’s Beth Whitehurst said of the 1854 building. Tree damage was extensive. “It was lucky that it hit in an unoccupied area,” said Betsy Whitehurst. “It’s just that this was a beautiful, natural area, and now you see a whole lot more sky.” The storm left behind a dangerous situation with a good deal of hanging debris in the trees. It was taken down with the assistance of an Appalachian Regional Commission grant. The courthouse, considered one of the South’s best examples of federal style architecture, survived to see another July 4 festival. With a lively year for politics, especially on the county level, “This year was bigger than ever,” said Beth Whitehurst. It’s the one time each year the courthouse buzzes with activity as it did when it was a bustling county seat. On any other day of the year, “It’s very, very peaceful out there,” she said. “You have to have a fair imagination to get that it wasn’t that peaceful then. It was a real boomtown. And you go

Betsy Whitehurst recalled a group of diehards such as Arch Little and Frank Simmons who wouldn’t miss a year at Jacinto. “Arch, when he got older, he would just sit in a chair and have people bring him ice cream cones all day long,” she said. Given the age of the building, Beth Whitehurst

believes it is faring well. “The brick that you see is all original,” she said. Trim around the windows and doors got a fresh coat of paint before this year’s festival, and the shutters are due for some repair work. After the old county was divided into Alcorn, Prentiss and Tishomingo, the building ceased its service as courthouse for the county seat and became a schoolhouse until the early 1900s. It later served as a Methodist church until 1960. “Some group put a tin roof on it, which saved

it,” said Betsy Whitehurst. “None of the groups ever had enough money to plumb or wire it.” For a couple more weeks, the courthouse is open on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. It will resume a regular schedule in the spring. An appointment can be made any time of the year, and caretaker Barbara Rinehart, who can be found in the country store, can provide a guided tour. Visitors will want to check out the museum items kept in the country store.

The campground area offers opportunities to enjoy nature with hiking trails and a swinging bridge. “We really encourage church groups, scouting groups and family groups to come because it is a wonderful place,” said Betsy Whitehurst. “It’s remote, but it’s not that remote.” There is no charge to stay in the campground as long as a group completes some type of service project while there. It can be as simple as doing some cleanup around the site. The courthouse is

sometimes used as a wedding venue, averaging one or two per year. With 2012 being an off election year locally, the next festival will be a bit quieter than this year’s huge event. “Next year, the political speaking won’t be as long, and we have some musical groups that are interested in coming back, so it will be a different kind of festival,” said Whitehurst. “But it’s always familyoriented. The little kids can come, and you don’t feel like there’s going to be anything that they can’t see or do.”

Corinth Elementary School teacher: ‘I have the best job in the world’ BY KIM JOBE Corinth School District

Lisa McDonnieal’s life seems to have always been guided by a melody. A “corporate kid,” McDonnieal’s family moved around a lot. They moved so much that McDonnieal and her family were in a different place every year of high school. “Playing piano was my one constant,” the Corinth Elementary School music teacher said. “That was my anchor.” Following graduation from high school, McDonnieal enrolled in the University of Southern Mississippi seeking a music education degree with an emphasis in piano. “I just intended to teach piano and wanted a degree,” McDonnieal explained. “But I had an amazing experience with a supervising teacher so I got into teaching.” This year, McDonnieal is celebrating her 21st year as an educator and marking her sixth year in the Corinth School District. At CES, McDonnieal teaches music to around 1,000 students in kindergarten through fourth grade. Most grades report to her classroom twice a week. McDonnieal teaches double classes with the exception of the fourthgraders who take music classes by homeroom. “I have around 54 kindergarten students at a time,” McDonnieal revealed, smiling. McDonnieal’s classes last 30 minutes each session and she has 11 sessions a day. “It’s very active and physical, but it’s fun,” McDonnieal said. “I have the best job in the world.”

Corinth Elementary School music teacher Lisa McDonnieal leads students through a song they are learning. McDonnieal starts the younger students off with the basic fundamentals of music — singing, rhythm and steady beat –- and then they progress from there into topics such as movement, note reading and studies about various composers. “By the time the students are out of fourth grade, they should be able to read and perform fairly difficult music,” McDonnieal explained. During second semester of their fourth-grade year, the students will learn how to play recorders. McDonnieal said her music classes have benchmarks set up by the Mississippi Department of Education, but they are very general. “You have a lot of freedom with that and I probably do more than I should in my classes,” McDonnieal admitted. The music teacher tries to offer her students a cross-section of musical

genres. She offers up contemporary songs in the classroom and even does a folk song unit. In the younger grades, McDonnieal incorporates nursery rhymes into the mix. “I try to do a wide assortment to expose them to different music,” McDonnieal said. “Once they’re out of fourth grade, they should have been exposed to different styles. I try not to create a musician, but to create a person who appreciates and loves music. If they become a musician, that’s icing on the cake.” Not only does McDonnieal expose the students

to various types of music, she shows them how music can be integrated into the core subjects of reading, math, history and social studies. McDonnieal is confident that her students aren’t bored in her classroom. “I’ve done it so long, I know my population of children,” she explained. “I get very little negative feedback from them. They pretty much seem enthusiastic about most songs.” In addition to being a music teacher, McDonnieal is an avid listener herself.

“I listen to music all the time,” she admitted. “I don’t play nearly as much as I should. But I listen to anything that’s good. I love singer/songwriters, I love classical music and I love contemporary music.” McDonnieal said that future plans for her music program at CES is much of the same. “I can’t do anything more than 11 classes a day,” McDonnieal explained. “I would love to have a period for a special choir, but that’s just not available right now.” The music teacher is in charge of the “Integrity Time” kindergarten program which the youngsters have traditionally performed for several years. She gathers the kindergartners and first graders together for a Christmas carol sing each December. In the past, the students have performed on the steps of the Alcorn County Courthouse, but that event was moved to

the front of CES after the new building opened last school year. McDonnieal and her fourth-graders are working on a special Veteran’s Day program which they will perform in front of CES at some point during the morning of Nov. 3. Music, McDonnieal believes, is important to children. “It enhances every aspect of their life, it teaches them about beauty and enhances other subject areas,” McDonnieal said. A quote from internationally-recognized music educator and composer Cheryl Lavender is what McDonnieal used to sum up her feelings about her work: “The fact that children make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music makes beautiful children.” McDonnieal plans to continue to do her part to help make beautiful children in the Corinth School District for years to come.

Rienzi business offering best of past, present BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

RIENZI — Smith’s Drug Store continues offering the best of the past and present. Generations have depended on the quality of service provided from the business on Main Street in Rienzi, located in the edge of Alcorn County, not far from the Prentiss County line. Today, the storefront looks much like it has for decades, seemingly the perfect backdrop for a Western movie. Inside the store one finds a mix of Rienzi’s history along with the most modern and up-to-date technology needed to carry on the tradition of health care for customers served in Alcorn and Prentiss counties. As customers come in, they are greeted by name. As they wait to have their prescriptions filled, they engage in some goodnatured teasing back and forth with one another and the pharmacist. It feels like a good place to be. Trevor Williams, pharmacist and owner, carries on the tradition of friendly and efficient service so many depend on. Part-time pharmacists are Ed Arnold and Dennis DePoyster, both of whom have worked there nearly 30 years. The drug store has been a vital part of the town for so long, it’s hard to pinpoint its exact opening. Historians say the town had two drug stores in the 1800s, so its origins may even date back to then. It definitely goes back to 1913, says Noble Williams, Trevor’s father and former owner of the drug store. The year 1913 was when a tornado ravished the town. A tornado also struck the town in 1875. The drug store was

opened by Howard Stubblefield. Noble’s uncle, Truman Smith, was asked by Mr. Stubblefield to come to work for him. Smith was a teenager attending high school in Rienzi at the time and lived in the Piney Grove community. “Uncle Truman told him ‘You’ve got boys here in Rienzi that can work for you.’ He said Mr. Stubblefield stated ‘I don’t want those boys ... I want you.’ God picked him,” Noble said. When Smith began working, the drug store was owned jointly by Dr. G.W. Googe and Stubblefield. Smith bought Dr. Googe’s share of the business in 1928. Then it was known as Stubblefield & Smith. (The address on the electric bill still says that today. “I didn’t figure there was any use in changing it,” Trevor says with a smile). Truman Smith bought Stubblefield’s half of the business in 1932 and it’s been Smith’s Drug Company ever since. Although he died in 1981, Truman, and his wife, Mabel, are not forgotten. “I still have older people say ‘Give me those red kidney pills Truman used to give me,” says Noble. A beautiful cross-stitch piece bearing the words “Smith’s Drug Co.” handmade by Mabel hangs in a place of honor in the office. Smith worked as a druggist in Rienzi for 46 years, appreciated by many for his above and beyond service. He became a local legend, known for his love of people and the town of Rienzi. (A story written about Smith when he retired in the early 1970s noted Dr. Googe maintained an office in the back of the store until his

Noble Williams, Trevor’s father, is the former owner of the drug store. retirement in the fall of 1955.). After Truman Smith retired in the early 1970s, he sold the drug store to Don Kitchens. Noble Williams bought it in 1979 from Kitchens. Noble and his wife, Sandra, continued the family business. Although they did some remodeling, they also tried to leave some of it like it was — such as a vintage ceiling fan.

“This ceiling fan was here when I was a child,” Noble said of the fan near the entrance of the store. “It was used to keep the flies out.” There were three of the fans at one time, he said. A skylight in the store dates back before electricity to enable the store to have light. “When we were without electricity in the Ice Storm of 1994, the skylight was very benefi-

cial,” Noble said. In August 2004 Noble and Sandra’s son, Trevor, became the owner of Smith Drugs. Noble and Sandra continue working in the store today. The other employees are Mildred Perry and Brooke Basden. In addition to meeting the pharmacy needs of the community, the drug store offers a variety of items, including nine fla-

Tourism tax tops $1 million mark BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Building on its assets is paying dividends for the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. That emphasis allowed Corinth to recently top $1 million in tourism tax over a 12-month period for the first time. “To break the million mark is remarkable,” said Tourism Board President Chris Porterfield. “It has taken some hard work from the tourism staff.” Porterfield, in his second year as president, wants the board to continue to promote things the area is known for while at the same time to think outside the box. “Our main assets are Civil War heritage, historic homes and good people,” said the Coca-Cola Corporate HR. “We have to continue to use those as selling points.” One area the board plans on taking advantage of is the Civil War Sesquicentennial coming up in the spring. “We are planning on hitting that really hard,” said Porterfield. “Kristy (White) is already creating special promotional packages for the event.” Porterfield knows the board has to keep improving the strong events Corinth and Alcorn County is well known for. “We have to continue to build our social market whether it be through facebook or twitter,” he said. “Our out of town advertising needs to continue through either billboards or radio ... the goal is to promote Corinth and Alcorn County and get tourists in town to generate revenue.” Events such as Green Market and Grand Illumination have been a

big boost for tourism in Corinth. “We are constantly working on ways to grow the Green Market and the Grand Illumination is one of the premier venues we do each year,” said Porterfield. “ One area Porterfield thinks could really provide a boost for tourism is Crossroads Regional Park. With the tourism tax continuing on a favorable track, the tourism board recently increased its budget for the sports and recreation committee to $61,000. “We have to find a way to structure city park and add what we need to make it more of an attraction,” he said. “There is still a lot of money to be made through the park and there is no reason we can’t get the people here to do it.” Another avenue the board is working closely with The Alliance is the Entertainment District Act. Under the act, a local governing body may apply for an area to be deemed as an entertainment district through the Mississippi State Tax Commission. After the designation is approved, businesses can construct or renovate a venue and receive a tax break in the form of an accelerated depreciation deduction. Under the law, the state would recoup the lost revenue by mandating businesses who take advantage of the accelerated depreciation deduction assess a $2 ticket fee on every ticket sold. “We are going to support things that raises revenue in Corinth and Alcorn County,” said Porterfield. “This is tax payer money that we want to give back to the community.”

Smith Drug Store owner Trevor Williams serves up a smile and a dip of ice cream to a young customer.

SMITH: Drug store displays a vast collection of Coca Cola items CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8C

berry cone and a chocolate cone for one youngster, Joseph Turner, of Rienzi. When school lets out at 3 p.m., children head to the drug store for an ice cream cone, Trevor said. The Family Clinic in Rienzi also gives coupons if kids have to have shots, entitling them to a free dip of ice cream. Another person coming in one recent Thursday afternoon to get an ice cream cone was Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams, who requested a vanilla ice cream cone (and kindly paid for one for a visitor). A vintage red Coca Cola drink box holds plenty of cold drinks for customers, including the old type bottled Cokes, “the best tasting,” Trevor says. A vast collection of Coca Cola items are displayed throughout the store.

Pharmacist Trevor Williams provides more than medications. His store has ice cold Coca-Colas in the 61⁄2 -ounce bottles — just what the doctor ordered. Antique drug bottles are shown in a display case, some possibly dating back to the days when Truman Smith accompanied Dr. Googe in a buggy to make house calls. Outside the storefront, in the concrete, are two rings from yesteryear used to tie horses. “They’ve been there all my life,” says Noble, age

69. Those ‘horse tying rings’ are still used in the 21st century, as some teenage boys tied their horses to them not so long ago when they came in the drug store. While Rienzi can certainly be described as a quiet and friendly town, there have been two occasions when the drug store was robbed at gunpoint. In both instances

the culprits were caught and sent to prison. Today the drug store is armed with high-tech burglar alarms and cameras to fend off would-be felons. Bars were also installed across the front windows and doors, although it broke Noble’s heart to have to do so. While some things have changed by necessity over the years, the one constant is the care one receives at the drug store in Rienzi. “It’s humbling to think of the people who’ve depended on the drug store for so many years. I just hope God lets me retire here and keep it going as long as I can,” says Trevor, who is 42. “There’s nothing like the feeling you get knowing you’re doing some of the same things my great-uncle did 50 years ago.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Frustration is an energy zapper. But you can avoid the feeling by simply refusing to believe that life should be happening at a different pace. Affirm to yourself: I have all the time in the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s time you had an imaginary conversation with that wise version of yourself who sits inside the tiny cave of your heart. It will feel good to be completely candid about your feelings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll enjoy what you do, mostly because you resolve to enjoy it. Your attitude is stellar. You’ll receive invitations and other nifty perks as people respond to your smile. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A terrific daydream helps you glimpse your future. You envision yourself having a great time achieving one of your life’s ambitions. See it over and over. You were meant for this. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have developed solid relationships, and you continue to put in the work to maintain the connection. An out-of-town friend may want to come for a visit. Plans will come together over the next three weeks. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel lucky. Having that feeling and holding on to it automatically makes you luckier. The best part is that you attract good fortune that is extremely useful to others, as well as yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re about to grow your intellect and skill set. There is a strong social aspect to your learning style. You’ll find out more about your area of interest when you join clubs, groups, meet-ups and social networks. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You prefer to think the best of people. Sometimes they misbehave, and you give them a “free pass” anyway, assuming they didn’t mean it or didn’t know any better. You’d rather move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You speak words of kindness. You don’t want anything, it’s just that you genuinely notice what’s nice and see what’s remarkable about the people you meet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may realize that you’ve been psychically leaning on someone because you didn’t feel complete in some regard. Now you notice the void and start to fill it with enjoyable activities and entertainments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The answers you think you need may be lost in the mail, dropped in the middle of the call or floating in cyber space. However, you will eventually get to the bottom of it. You and your can-do attitude will prevail. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re wondering why you keep making people laugh, it’s because you say things that are true, and others feel compelled to agree in ways that go beyond mere words.

Northeast continues on path of growth College provides unique education resource for students throughout area BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

As people throughout the region look for ways to improve their opportunities in a challenging economy, Northeast Mississippi Community College is providing a unique education resource for students throughout the area. NEMCC Director of Admissions Lynn Gibson said the college has seen significant growth over the past few years, particularly in the number of people who are seeking to go back to school to gain new skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been affected by the economy and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to build skills that will guarantee them a job,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some of the biggest areas of demand have been in healthcare related fields such as nursing and in fields that could be useful in obtaining work with Toyota or one of the automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suppliers such as industrial maintenance, machine tool and die and other areas. Gibson said he and his staff and others at the college are always available to help those who have questions about the school and how to go about reaching their goals. He recommends people start by checking out the enrollment and admissions section on the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. nemcc.edu. From there, potential students can call and request more information and arrange to come to the school for a visit and tour and to talk with instructors in their

specific subject areas. He urges everyone to keep track of key dates for admission and for financial aid applications. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely important to get financial aid applications in early. The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial aid office is staffed with professionals who are available to help people through the application process. Gibson said there are several potential pitfalls people can get caught up when they decide to head back to school. One of the saddest things he sees are those who come in having spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars on classes and degrees from institutions theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found through online and through other ads only to learn the coursework isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognized by Northeast or other traditional schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be very, very careful about the type of accreditation the school has,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many of these schools will be accredited through organizations that simply sell their accreditation ratings and the accreditation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really certify anything, he explained. If they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accredited through a recognized accreditation body that is accepted by legitimate schools, the person can find themselves having done a lot of work for credits that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transferable and they then have to go back and repeat the work. Gibson said people need to really do their research. In most cases theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find they can obtain the same classes and

Anyone seeking admission to Northeast or any other college must have a high school diploma or equivalent. This is another place people often get taken for a ride by unscrupulous educational providers. He said he regularly sees students who have paid significant amounts of money to take a test and receive a high school diploma from an online school, only to find out the school isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly accredited and the di-

ploma is worthless. He highly recommends people obtain their GED. The college offers numerous options for GED preparation courses and testing at little or no cost and to fit almost any schedule including nights and weekends. Gibson said Northeast offers a unique environment and lot of value for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education dollar. He encourages those considering the school to look at the costs of other institutions and compare. He also said potential students should make themselves aware of the many scholarships available for

transfer students moving from community college to four-year universities. There are numerous opportunities available specifically for these students and they should contact the financial aid department to learn more. One of the keys to the institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family atmosphere, said Gibson. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent his career in education and he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never seen a place filled with people more dedicated to the students they serve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We truly want them to succeed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The spirit around here of everybody wanting to help people is truly special.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to the website and in-person resources, the school also has a presence on Facebook through the admissions office. Gibson himself operates the page and monitors it closely to be able to quickly provide answers to questions students and potential students may post. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another way of reaching out to the community and making sure everyone feels connected to the school and can find the information they need. Northeastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus is in Booneville, while Corinth is home to branch.
