County makes progress on payments BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County continues to make progress catching up on payments to outside agencies. As of Tuesday, allotment payments are complete through

December with the exception of those considered the “large” payments to organizations such as the airport. The Board of Supervisors approved the claims docket for Dec. 19 to Jan. 3 in Tuesday’s meeting.

“We are paying the December payments to the large ones on the claims docket we just approved,” said Chancery Clerk Greg Younger, “and the small ones like the animal shelter and the incubator, we are paying

them their January amounts. So, we’re going to be caught up to date on everything except for the large allotments.” Some payments had been held back as the county scrapes by until the months of better

cash flow. In other business on a light agenda to kick oﬀ the new year: • The board approved the hiring of James Thomas BradPlease see COUNTY | 2A

J.A. celebrates sold-out ball BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

It was a New Year’s Eve to remember as approximately 400 guests turned out for Junior Auxiliary of Corinth’s 55th Annual Charity Ball. Dressed to the nines despite the tumultuous downpour, ballgoers donned sparkling gowns and dapper tuxedos as they enjoyed a fabulous sit-down din-

ner courtesy of Jerry Tyson. Inspiring everyone to get up and dance, “The Midnighters”, a six-piece Soul band from Muscle Shoals, Ala. transported guests back to 60s and 70s through music from noted entertainers like the Emperors of Soul – “The Temptations”. The fun dance band then brought listeners into the 80s and 90s with favorites from

celebrated artists like Michael Jackson and Prince. Moved to the point of great emotion, long-time educator Barbara Trapp humbly accepted her award as J.A.’s 2017 Outstanding Citizen of the Year. “I’m hardly ever without words, some of you will know that from the 45 to 50 minutes

Women form bladder disease support group

Mississippi lawmakers celebrated their first day of the 2017 Legislative session on Tuesday by toasting to 200 years of statehood. On December 10, 1817, Mississippi was oﬃcially recognized as the 20th state in the United States of America. In 2017, the state will have the unique opportunity to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mississippi’s statehood with a reflection on Mississippi’s history and culture. Events will be held throughout the year honoring the people and places, music and food, achievements in agriculture, science, and industry, sports legends, literary and artistic genius, and more. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and Speaker of the House Philip Gunn hosted the reception to highlight community events, many of which are supported by a grant program created last year by the Legislature. Mississippi became the nation’s 20th state on Dec. 10, 1817. “Bicentennial celebrations are an opportunity to showcase our small towns and their cultural contributions to visitors from around the world,” said Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves during Tuesday’s reception from the state capitol. “Our state is home to sports giants, lit-

A pair of local ladies who are suffering from a debilitating bladder disease have formed a new support group to help others facing a little understood illness. The first meeting of the North Mississippi Pelvic Floor Pain Support Group will be held at the Corinth Library beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday. The group will offer support for people who are suffering from Interstitial Cystitis — commonly called I.C., or pain-

ful bladder syndrome. Rosa Harville and Bonnie Mitchell, R.N., are the founders of the group. They both have struggled to live a normal life while dealing with I.C. “We’re hoping that through this group we can help men and women keep from going through the suﬀering that we did while searching for the help,” said Harville. “We can share with them what we have been through and what has worked for us.

Malina Hunt has worked at Corinth’s Salvation Army since August, but she is looking forward to getting back in school and working toward her dream job. Hunt, 19, plans to become a forensic toxicologist — one who uses toxicology and other scientific disciplines to aid medical or legal investigations of death, poisoning or drug use. “I already went to Northeast and studied art, but I wasn’t interested in it, so I took a year off to figure out what I wanted to do,” Hunt explained. “The whole year, my mom was like, ‘You’re never going to go back,’ and I’m like ‘I am!‘ — and I finally figured out what I wanted to do.” One inspiration for her decision is the character Donald “Ducky” Mallard, a forensic toxicologist on the popular crime show NCIS. Hunt also enjoys solving puzzles and spending time with her friends.

Basket Fund nears $16,000 The 21st Annual Corinth Rotary Club/ Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket has grown to $15,757. A $23,000 fundraising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 17. The baskets were given away on faith the goal will be reached. Recent donations include $50 from Hazel M. Lee; $100 from Barbara Horn; and $250 from Bell Gas Co. in honor of T.L. Sweat. Christmas Basket Fund donations can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published in the Daily Corinthian. The special fund will remain active as long as donations continue to arrive. All donations into the new year will be recognized.

you spent with me in class each day,” said a tearful Trapp. “I am flabbergasted and honored to receive this award, but I don’t deserve it. I have been privileged to get to do what I love for all these years.” Described by her friends, family, colleagues and students as a tireless, selfless individual with a huge heart for others, Trapp received as standing ovation as she was praised for going above and beyond to help others both in her classroom and her community. Complete with a whimsical photo booth courtesy of Bill’s Images by Photographer Bill Avery, attendees had the option to choose four different backdrops for their photographic memories with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit J.A. Jonathan and Ashley Rider, owners of Crossroads Limousine, were on hand to ensure that attendees were able to indulge and enjoy their night responsibly. “We are so thankful that this year’s ball sold out,” said Charity Ball Chair Marley Ashe. “Thanks to the generosity of our patrons and community, we were able to help clothe over 300 school children this past year and award 13 scholarships to deserving local students pursuing college and post graduate degrees.” Chosen through a random drawing from among the 2017 Living Ads, Corinth High School Senior Leah Manus was awarded a $1,000 J.A. scholarship to help further her education. The announcement was made following the presentation of the Living Ads which was emcee’d by Bill and Karen Terry. Edi Williams was announced as the winner of the Yeti Hopper 30 Soft-side Cooler while Corey Jones got to take home his choice of one of three firearms from the raﬄe. In addition to providing scholarships and clothing for school children, guests at this year’s “In the City” themed New Year’s Eve ball also contributed to the purchase of blankets and sleepers for over two hundred babies born at Magnolia Regional Health Center to needy

200TH families as well as countless hours of support and educational activities for hundreds of local children. “Thank you for your generosity,” said Ashe. “We are honored, thankful and overwhelmed by the support the community has shown. Some were skeptical about mixing it up this year, but we’ve gotten some really positive feedback from those who attended and feel like it helped our local businesses at what is normally a slow time of year for most.” “Not only did the date change help put money back into our community through our local businesses, but it also made quite an impression upon guests. “Many have asked our Charity Ball Co-Chair Michelle Brooks to consider keeping in on New Year’s Eve when she is chair next year.” Featuring tall arrangements of hydrangeas and glittering gold branches by Ashley Grimes, the upstairs banquet room of the Shiloh Ridge Athletic Club was cast in an ambient glow with a mix of glitter and mercury glass votives. Two impressive city skyline silhouettes built by Landon Ashe served as stunning focal points. Keeping it simple, yet elegant, the ladies of J.A. took a less-is-more approach when it came to this year’s decorations, adding a few unexpected touches and the glitter and sparkle visitors would expect from a New Year’s Eve bash “In the City”. Tuning into the “Big Apple” ten minutes prior to the New Year’s Eve countdown, a big screen streamed the festivities live from New York City’s iconic Time Square as a million or so revellers gathered on the streets to watch the traditional ball drop. Mouthing the words to “Auld Lang Syne”, guests clinked their champagne flutes for a special midnight toast and exchanged celebratory kisses with loved ones before heading to the patio to enjoy the dazzling pyrotechnics as the “Midnighters” played one last song to cap the night. “It was the perfect night,” said Ashe. “We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.”

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 4, 1967, “The Doors,” the self-titled debut album of the rock group featuring the song “Light My Fire,” was released by Elektra Records.

On this date: In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for legislation to provide assistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handicapped. In 1951, during the Korean War, North Korean and Communist Chinese forces recaptured the city of Seoul. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union address in which he outlined the goals of his “Great Society.” In 1974, President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee.

One year ago: Workers returned to their offices at the San Bernardino, California campus where 14 people were killed the previous month in a terror attack carried out by a county restaurant inspector Sayed Farook and his wife.

Across the Region Tishomingo County Driver arrested after traffic stop TISHOMINGO COUNTY — Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a Dennis man last week after a traffic stop. Deputies attempted to make a traffic stop due to witnessing a vehicle swerving in the roadway around the area of County Road 90 in Tishomingo County on Dec. 28. As deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver threw an item out the window, according to a report issued by the sheriff’s office. Once the item was thrown from the vehicle, the suspected vehicle stopped for law enforcement. The deputies approached the vehicle and spoke with the driver. While the deputy was speaking with the driver, the other deputy walked back to where the item was last seen being thrown from the window of the suspects’ vehicle. The deputy retrieved the item, which appeared to be a large amount of some alleged methamphetamine, according to the report. The driver, Billy Don Hall, 34, of 30 County Road 42 in Dennis, has been officially charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) with an intent to sell. Hall also has a hold placed on him by the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Hall is awaiting bond to be set by Justice Court on his drug charges and remains in custody of the Tishomingo County Jail.

The county’s unemployment rate dropped from 5.4 percent in October to 4.9 percent in November, according to the latest figures released by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. The drop matched a fall in unemployment statewide. Mississippi’s statewide rate fell from 5.7 percent in October to 5.2 percent in November. Prentiss County had the sixth lowest rate among immediately surrounding counties. Union County posted the lowest rate in the area at 4 percent, followed by Lee at 4.4 percent, Itawamba at 4.5 percent, Tippah at 4.7 percent and Alcorn at 4.8 percent.

McNairy County Deer killed; reward offered for information McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — Landowners Anthony Wright and Pamela Mansfield have raised animals on their more than 40 acres in Adamsville for as long as they can remember, reported WBBJ-TV. They said they never worried about the safety of their livestock until a deer was shot and killed Christmas Day on their property. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is investigating the incident. The landowners are offering a $1,000 reward for information about the suspect. Wright said the suspect was in what appeared to be a latemodel, black Ford Mustang. He said the buck grew up on their property and got along with their livestock and that many people in the area knew

the buck as the “community deer.” Sam Bedwell with the TWRA says though it’s not common, riding around and killing deer is a method some poachers use. Anyone with information is urged to contact the TWRA at 731-423-5725.

Russellville Tishomingo man faces sex charges RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. – A Tishomingo County man is facing charges after he was accused of texting a friend photos taken of a five-year-old girl, reported WTVA-TV.

Columbus Hospital limits pain prescriptions COLUMBUS (AP) — A hospital emergency room in Columbus is limiting pain medication doctors and nurses give to patients with chronic pain complaints. The Dispatch reports the policy goes into effect Tuesday at Baptist Memorial HospitalGolden Triangle and is in response to the nation’s opioid epidemic. ER Doctor Joel Butler says the policy is in line with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control that medications are best dispensed by a patient’s regular physician who sees that patient on a regular basis. Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Archie Williams says addicts and dealers often get pills by going to an emergency room and complaining of some type of pain. Butler says patients who come in with acute pain, such as broken bones, will still get whatever medication they need.

Corinth, Miss.

Obama to Israel: Drop dead A headline that would become famous appeared in the New York Daily News in October 1975 after then-President Gerald Ford denied federal assistance to spare the city from bankruptcy. It read: “Ford to Cal City: Drop Dead.” President Obama has told Thomas Israel much the same. By inColumnist structing his U.N. ambassador not to veto a resolution condemning Israel for building so-called settlements on disputed land, the president has aided and comforted that nation’s enemies. The U.S. abstention will inevitably invite stepped-up attacks against Israelis, as well as calls for more boycotts by the European Union, whose ugly anti-Semitic past and present is well documented. In the Middle East, this symbolic act will send a strong message to Israel’s enemies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the resolution a “shameful ambush” and “distorted,” noting, “It states that the Jewish quarter and Western Wall (in Jerusalem) are occupied, which is absurd.” Netanyahu, who has had a tense relationship with President Obama, suggested he expects better relations between the U.S. and Israel after Donald Trump becomes president. Netanyahu likes to cite history to show how the Jews were in the land long before Arab peoples showed up and started rewriting the past to the point that it belongs in the fiction section of bookstores. What makes anyone think that what Israel does, or does not do, has any eﬀect on the behavior and declared religious mandate of those dedicated to eliminating the country and killing and/or expelling every Jew from it? Did unilaterally relinquishing Gaza bring Israel closer to peace? It did not. Instead, it invited Hamas to use the region as a launching pad for terrorist attacks. It is the same with agreements between Palestinian and Israeli leaders. Israel released terrorist prisoners and got more terror. Israel gave up land and got more terror. Only the deliberately blind and deaf who refuse to believe the stated and repeated goals of Palestinian leadership and much of the Arab world to eliminate Israel still think that the key to peace and stability lies solely with that country. What kind of state would the Palestinians establish? Their leaders have already said it would be one without Jews. Netanyahu noted that in any other scenario this would be seen as “ethnic cleansing,” but because much of the world hates Jews and is embarrassed by Israel and its prosperity, it applies a different standard to the Palestinians. The late Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin once told me that while Israel needs friends, it could never fully trust any nation for its security. The Obama administration’s refusal to veto the U.N. resolution is more proof he was right. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he will ask Congress to stop sending money to the U.N. until the resolution is repealed. His proposal is gaining support among some pro-Israel Democrats. Netanyahu has announced the termination of programs and aid to nations that voted in favor of the resolution and recalled some of his country’s ambassadors from those states. At a time when Jews the world over are celebrating Hanukkah and the miracle of lights, Barack Obama has attempted to turn out the light on the Jewish state. Israel will survive, because it has survived worse than a U.N. resolution, but the action will only encourage her enemies. The prophet Isaiah wrote: “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem” (Isaiah 40:2). The Psalmist said: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6). In his final insult to Israel, President Obama has spoken harshly and ensured there will be more war, not peace. The Nobel committee should demand he return his prematurely awarded Peace Prize.

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to see my mistakes, and bring me to the realization of my life. Grant that I may no longer use the time that thou gavest me to learn in, heedlessly, but to give it my best thought and care. Amen.

A verse to share Do not lie to each other, since you have taken oﬀ your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. —Colossians 3:9-10

Can Trump and Putin avert Cold War II? In retaliation for the hacking of John Podesta and the DNC, Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats and ordered closure of their country houses on Long Island and Maryland’s Eastern shore. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that 35 U.S. diplomats would be expelled. But Vladimir Putin stepped in, declined to retaliate at all, and invited the U.S. diplomats in Moscow and their children to the Christmas and New Year’s party at the Kremlin. “A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger,” reads Proverbs 15:1. “Great move,” tweeted Presidentelect Trump, “I always knew he was very smart!” Among our Russophobes, one can almost hear the gnashing of teeth. Clearly, Putin believes the Trump presidency offers Russia the prospect of a better relationship with the United States. He appears to want this, and most Americans seem to want the same. After all, Hillary Clinton, who accused Trump of being “Putin’s puppet,” lost. Is then a Cold War II between Russia and the U.S. avoidable? That question raises several others. Who is more responsible

for both great powers having reached this level of animosity and acrimony, Pat 25 years Buchanan after Ronald Reagan Columnist walked armin-arm with Mikhail Gorbachev through Red Square? And what are the causes of the emerging Cold War II? Comes the retort: Putin has put nuclear-capable missiles in the Kaliningrad enclave between Poland and Lithuania. True, but who began this escalation? George W. Bush was the one who trashed Richard Nixon’s ABM Treaty and Obama put anti-missile missiles in Poland. After invading Iraq, George W. Bush moved NATO into the Baltic States in violation of a commitment given to Gorbachev by his father to not move NATO into Eastern Europe if the Red Army withdrew. Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, says John McCain. Russia did, after Georgia invaded its breakaway province of South Ossetia and killed Russian peacekeepers. Putin threw the Georgians out, occupied part of Georgia, and then

withdrew. Russia, it is said, has supported Syria’s Bashar Assad, bombed U.S.-backed rebels and participated in the Aleppo slaughter. But who started this horrific civil war in Syria? Was it not our Gulf allies, Turkey, and ourselves by backing an insurgency against a regime that had been Russia’s ally for decades and hosts Russia’s only naval base in the Mediterranean? Did we not exercise the same right of assisting a beleaguered ally when we sent 500,000 troops to aid South Vietnam against a Viet Cong insurgency supported by Hanoi, Beijing and Moscow? That’s what allies do. The unanswered question: Why did we support the overthrow of Assad when the likely successor regime would have been Islamist and murderously hostile toward Syria’s Christians? Russia, we are told, committed aggression against Ukraine by invading Crimea. But Russia did not invade Crimea. To secure their Black Sea naval base, Russia executed a bloodless coup, but only after the U.S. backed the overthrow of the pro-Russian elected government in Kiev.

Has Putin no right to be concerned about his lost countrymen? Unlike America’s elites, Putin is an ethnonationalist in a time when tribalism is shoving aside transnationalism as the force of the future. In the new struggle we are in, the ethnonational state seems ascendant over the multicultural, multiethnic, multiracial, multilingual “universal nation” whose avatar is Barack Obama. Putin does not seek to destroy or conquer us or Europe. He wants Russia, and her interests, and her rights as a great power to be respected. He is not mucking around in our front yard; we are in his. The worst mistake President Trump could make would be to let the Russophobes grab the wheel and steer us into another Cold War that could be as costly as the first, and might not end as peacefully. Reagan’s outstretched hand to Gorbachev worked. Trump has nothing to lose by extending his to Vladimir Putin, and much perhaps to win. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

Schools, slush funds could be top topics this session OXFORD — It will be a short session, only 90 days. Mississippi lawmakers will be back home while the azaleas are still in bloom, at least in some parts of the state. What will make headlines? No one ever really knows for sure, but K-12 education is a safe bet. House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, says he wants to talk about campaign finance reform a bit more, too. Three months ago, legislative leaders signed a contract with EdBuild, a new consulting firm that studies school funding methodologies. The gist is that the leadership wants to explore alternatives to the Mississippi Adequate Education Program’s formula, set into law 20 years ago and provided with full funding only twice. The formula was adopted in a year when the U.S. Department of Justice was threatening to sue Mississippi, as it had other states, for not equalizing funding between “rich” districts and “poor” districts. The formula does that. No suit was filed. Formulas aside, K-12 education has steadily received more and more millions

Mitchell Stories such as the Columnist F-rated Jackson Public Schools providing a $5,000 bonus to its superintendent and another $195,000 when he resigned last year don’t exactly build confidence that all is on the up and up. There are great public schools in Mississippi, serving their mission against all odds. And there are some that are awful. The education lobby believes the role of EdBuild will be to serve as the experts upon whose advice charter schools will be expanded. The EdBuild chief says that’s not so, but the Legislature’s desire to contract-out education is no secret. Many districts outsource pupil transportation and food services, so why not the whole ball game? Here’s why: The same “quality” factors infest the charter school world as the public school world. Some

charter schools fit the ideal: Dedicated, attentive, involved parents providing a nurturing learning environment. Some are corporate cash mills where profit maximization is Job 1 (and only). Wise lawmakers will not jump on the bandwagon without copious research and incorporating safeguards as wells as best practices that have proven eﬀective elsewhere. During the 2016 session the state Senate passed some rules on how lawmakers handle and report campaign funds that aligned with federal rules. A somewhat shameful gutting followed in the House. Speaker Gunn says the topic will be revisited. In truth, Mississippi’s system can be used by the dishonest to launder bribes. Most ludicrous is that a candidate may obtain a credit card in the campaign’s name, use that card for any expense — prom dress for a child, birthday present for the spouse, vacation in Aruba — then report the total as “Visa bill.” Itemization is not required, so no one can know how or where, exactly, donated funds were spent.

Lawmakers may also build up their campaign treasury with donations and keep the money when leaving oﬃce. Although the IRS would consider a cash-out as taxable income, a corrupt lawmaker could likely escape conviction by selling votes and using the campaign bank account to store the loot as a retirement fund. Gunn told The ClarionLedger he wants both provisions changed. He’s to be commended for going on record supporting moves to, perhaps, add public trust in those who serve. The push for campaign finance reform died in the House last year. (There was a voice vote on the floor, but no request that individual votes be recorded.) And it could again, despite what the leadership says should happen. But it’s a new year. New start. Hope springs eternal that legislators, increasingly insistent that schools and school teachers be accountable, will choose to take a sip from that cup as well.

anyone. We do want to let people know there are others out there that suffer with this, and we understand their pain.” Mitchell explained that I.C. is a chronic condition sometimes causing bladder and pelvic pain. Symptoms range from mild to severe. There is pain in the pelvis and sometimes persistent urgency or need to go to the restroom. “Frequent urination may be small amounts, because you void and feel like you have to go right back,” Mitchell said. “You have to go back and back.” The Mayo Clinic documents frequent urination in small amounts during the day — possibly 50 or 60 times a day. “It’s very debilitating, and it touches on every aspect of your life. Your work life. Your personal life,” said Mitchell. “There are so many events in our families that we’ve had to miss because of the pain. You may wake up just feel horrible one day.” Sometimes people have pain while the bladder fills and refills. All of the signs and symptoms of I.C. may resemble a urinary infection, but usually there is no infection. “But if you have I.C. and you do have a bladder infection, the pain is usually much worse,” Mitchell added. The condition consists of small lesions, cracks or ulcers on the inside of the bladder. The causes of the disease are currently not well understood, although research is ongoing. A combination of factors may contribute to the condition. “For instance, people with I.C. may have a defect in the protective lining of the bladder, and that’s where the cracks come in. It may allow toxic substances in your urine to irritate the bladder wall,” explained Mitchell. “That’s where the acidic foods come in.” Those suffering from I.C. should avoid carbonated beverages, many kinds of juices and even decaffeinated tea or coffee, which still contains the harmful acid. “It gets so tiresome, just the eating and drinking,” said Harville. “Mostly my diet consists of Ensure, bread, potatoes and blueberries. Blueberries and pears are the only two fruits that don’t have acid. And sometimes you’d just love to have some chocolate or coffee or something with tomato, but it’s just not worth the pain. You want to be normal.” Harville has struggled with I.C. for 11 years. In her case, the disease manifests itself primarily with pain and not so much the urgency to go to the bathroom. “For me, it’s like sitting on a hot poker with someone twisting it inside

“It’s very debilitating, and it touches on every aspect of your life. Your work life. Your personal life.” Bonnie Mitchell, R.N. Co-founder, North Mississippi Pelvic Floor Pain Support Group you, and in the meantime squeezing your bladder while they’re doing it. You never know when it’s going to do it. You may be going along fine for a few weeks or months, but then when you develop a new crack, it starts all over again,” said Harville. “There’s days I don’t have it, that I’m able to control it with the pain shield (a small device that emits heat in the eﬀected area) and a low dose of pain med. I’ve come so far from the opioids and the fentanyl patch. I’ve taken everything trying to find some relief. Thankfully, I’ve had good doctors.” Mitchell’s story with I.C. began six and a half years ago. An autoimmune reaction to chlorine seems to have triggered the condition. “The Mayo Clinic says possible factors may include an autoimmune reaction, and we really believe that’s true. It’s the body attacking itself. Heredity can play a factor, infection or allergy,” she said. “I think I actually had an allergic reaction to chlorine.” Mitchell and her husband had spent the day cleaning a vinyl fence around their horse pasture with bleach. Even after showering that night she could still smell bleach, she said. “That night, my bladder was on fire,” she recalled. “It was like somebody was lighting matches internally. It was horrible.” After visits to a string of doctors in cities around the region — Memphis, Tupelo, Knoxville, Birmingham, Nashville and others — along with the passage of time and correct pain management, Mitchell eventually got a

little better. She decided to go in for some exercise at a rehab facility in Corinth. “This year around March or April I started to feel more like myself after six years,” she said. “I had gained quite a bit of weight. The Prednisone can make you retain fluid and give you kind of a moon face. I’ve changed quite a big since I’ve had this disease because of Prednisone and like medications that can make you retain water and gain weight.” Part of the exercises at the rehab facility included swimming in a pool. “I was in the pool about 45 minutes,” she said. “The next day: On fire. I’m crying. I’m ready to be put on hospice.” Mitchell’s intense suffering lasted three and a half weeks. “It was horrible,” she said. “God is the only reason it calmed down. And then I knew for certain. Now I know it was the chlorine. So now I can’t be around chlorine, can’t come in contact with it.” Mitchell said the disease has aﬀected her social and work life. “You name it, it touches aspects of my life,” she said. Harville nodded her head in agreement. “It dictates your life,” she said. “You think about it every day when you get up till you go to bed at night.”

A survivor Another local woman who has wrestled with I.C. is Jan Johnson, a lifelong resident of Corinth. Johnson, who turned 73 on Christmas Eve, has battled the disease for over 37 years.

The years of pain and many unsuccessful medical treatments weigh heavily on Johnson. She is small and frail, and doesn’t get around as good as she used to. But one can hear an indomitable spirit in her voice when she speaks, her words slow and steady with the kind of Old South warmth one doesn‘t encounter often anymore. Sitting in the den of her stately Reconstruction era home on the corner of downtown Corinth, the years of pain and struggle disappear from her face when she smiles, which is often when speaking of her family — three children, 10 grandchildren and a newly arrived great-grandchild. When thinking of her family she knows she is a lucky woman. But Johnson’s history with I.C. is an epic tale of uncertainty, pain and loss. “Oh, boy,” she said with a good-humored sigh. “Have you got two or three days?” At first the doctors she visited didn’t have a clue, she remembered. They would shake their heads and pass her on to another doctor. “I would say I’ve been to at least — and I imagine it’s more — 30 doctors, at least, because they passed me from this one to this one to this one, hoping that somebody along the line would catch something,” said Johnson. “But they didn’t” Some doctors even told her there was nothing wrong at all. It was all in her head. “Oh, boy, that was awful,” she recalled. “I said, ‘Well, okay. If it’s psychosomatic, send me to a psychiatrist. Let’s get it out of my head.’” But the head doctor found no reason at all to

believe it was anything other than physical. Johnson said it helped to find out she wasn’t crazy, but it really didn’t help much at all. It didn’t tell her anything. So Johnson was sent back to the doctors. “After that, it was on and on and on. One would say, ‘Hysterectomy — that‘ll do it for sure.’ I had that. Well, I got worse. Every treatment that a doctor would recommend would make me worse, and this last one was the biggest, and I’ve been out of society and everything,” she said. “I can’t do anything since this last one.” For the first time, Johnson’s voice grows a little shaky while telling of the unscrupulous doctor who promised to make her “a new woman” but ended up destroying her life. “He butchered me,” she said. “I call it butchery.” From that point things have gotten worse. Now Johnson’s legs and feet are numb. She has dropped from her normal weight of approximately 115 pounds to 70 pounds. “That’s not me,” she said. “I’ve always had to watch my weight and keep it down. Now I have this problem with my ears. I’ve got a heart problem, aspiration pneumonia that I keep — that came from it. It just goes everywhere.” She said she has no idea how she has survived the 37 years of pain and failed treatments. Now her doctors are afraid to try anything new, with all the damage caused from past treatments that yielded no positive results. “It just ruined my life,” Johnson said. “I love children more than anything in the world, and I was the happiest thing in the world when this hit me. It ruined my life.”

She looked around her beautiful old home, the long table in the dining room the setting for so many happy holidays in years past, and the good memories of years gone by stand up right next to the reality of what her life has become. “I used to decorate and have more fun and bake, cook and have company, dress that table. I just can’t do a thing anymore,” she said. Johnson said she read that a majority of the people who are stricken with I.C. eventually commit suicide. But this is one road she never intends to travel. “Sometimes the pain is so bad. Being a Christian, it’s always a good thing when you die, you know?” she said. “And so I pray that I will die.” She sat quietly for a moment then added, “I’m close to the time for death.” Johnson said she does have hope for others struggling with I.C. She sees the formation of Harville and Mitchell’s new support group as a good way for other people to find some answers and get some support — something that very well could have drastically changed the course her life took 37 years ago. “It will help immensely,” she said. “I really believe that it would have helped me if we had had one back then. I’m so glad they’re doing it.” (The first meeting of the North Mississippi Pelvic Floor Pain Support Group will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Corinth Library. The guest speaker will be Dr. James Cole. For more information call Bonnie Mitchell at 415-8141 or Rosa Harville at 808462-0452.)

Legislators expect school debate BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS AND JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi legislators started their 2017 session Tuesday, and their main focus during the next three months could be trying to adopt a new school funding formula. The current formula, called the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, was put into law 20 years ago but has been fully funded only twice. Legislators hired a New Jersey-based consulting group, EdBuild, to recommend changes. EdBuild CEO Rebecca Sibilia says she doesn’t anticipate recommending a reduction in spending. But any changes would cause losses for some school districts and gains for others, unless lawmakers find money to increase total spending. Legislators this session could also consider ways to put millions more dollars into highways and bridges amid pressure from business groups that say unsafe infrastructure

is an economic drag. Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, gave a speech just after the House gaveled into session at noon Tuesday, noting that 2017 is Mississippi’s bicentennial year. “Like our forefathers, we too have the privilege of shaping the future,” Gunn said. “Just like our forefathers, that task can appear daunting and we can grow apprehensive. But just like our forefathers, it is a great time of excitement and expectation.” House Minority Leader David Baria, D-Bay St. Louis, said he’s hoping for a reduction in partisan acrimony that dominated the 2016 session. “We’re going to try to find common ground where we can,” Baria said. Although the opening day is usually devoid of work, Democratic Sen. Hob Bryan of Amory tried within the first few minutes to get the entire Senate to vote on changing part of a budget bill that was passed in the final days of the 2016 session. He wanted to remove a

provision that banned any public money from being spent on the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents — a group that had criticized lawmakers for short-funding the public schools. Bryan said the provision was put into the final version of a bill late during the 2016 session and was not fully debated. Senators rejected Bryan’s attempt to get a vote Tuesday. Instead, his proposal will be sent to the Appropriations Committee for discussion later in the session. Baria said Democrats are willing to discuss changes to the state’s education funding formula if they will result in improvements. However, he said Republicans should expect “some pushback” on their proposal to remove civil service protections from most state employees. Rep. Kathy Sykes, DJackson, said she opposes changes to the school formula. “We have never given it the chance to work by fully funding it,” she said.

Mary Jane Armstrong, 71, of Corinth, died Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017. Magnolia Funeral Home will have the arrangements.

Don’t fight the Fed For investors and potential homebuyers, financial pros have similar advice: Don’t ? worry too much about the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate hike. Last month, the Fed boosted the short-term rate it controls to a range of between 0.5 percent and 0.75 percent. Fed policymakers say they expect to raise rates three more times in 2017, though that is never a sure thing. They predicted four hikes in 2016, but implemented only one. Meanwhile, mortgage rates have risen sharply since early November, but for reasons that have little

2017

to do with the Fed: Rather, Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election has lifted expectations for faster economic growth and inflation. That has pushed up longer-term interest rates, including the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate, which reached 4.3 percent in late December. Still, mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. Some investment advisers recommend making few portfolio changes in the wake of the Fed’s move. Others say the value of long-term government bonds could erode if the Fed keeps pushing rates higher. Investors may want to hold shorter-term bonds instead.

Mortgage rates have risen but still low 8%
