Transparency is a good thing.

Mississippi campaign finance spending has been unregulated for years, but a new bill which passed the House this week could add much needed rule restrictions to the law.

“Anything that forces lawmakers to be more transparent is a good thing,” said District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (DAlcorn). “It shows the public that we are here to serve them, not ourselves.”

Representatives voted to pass the bill and send it to the Senate for more work. It would impose restrictions on campaign spending for all elected officials, aiming to block candidates from using campaign contributions to subsidize their lifestyle or build a retirement nest egg.

All four Crossroads area House members voted to pass the bill, including Bain, District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo), District 3 Rep. Tracy Arnold (R-Alcorn, Prentiss) and District 4 Rep. Jody Ste-

Bain Carpenter verson (D-Alcorn, Tippah).

“It’s a strong bill,” said Carpenter. “I voted for it because it’s the right thing to do. People have donated us this money and it should be used the right way.”

Speaker of the House Philip Gunn (R) authored the bill which comes following reports last year that some state officials were spending campaign funds on clothes and cars, with some withdrawing large sums for retirement.

“The Clarion-Ledger reported some lawmakers down south misspent their campaign money. It was a bad deal, but thankfully nothing of that nature has happened with legislatives in Alcorn or Tishomingo counties,” added Please see CAPITOL | 5A

District moves closer to wireless Internet

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn School District got the green light this week.

The remaining ERATE federal funding needed to complete the district’s massive wireless Internet project has been received.

“This is huge,” said Director of Technology Rose Seaborn. “This is something we have been working on and talking about for years, and with this funding we are going to be able to finish the project.”

The enterprise class wireless Internet will include access points or hot spots in almost all classrooms

in the school district. Each access point will be capable of delivering high speed Internet access for up to 30 devices.

“This is the last puzzle piece in a bigger ERATE project that was originally delayed two and half years ago because of a conflict of interest,” said Alcorn County Superintendent of Education Larry B. Mitchell.

E-Rate, the name commonly used for the Schools and Libraries Program of the Federal Communications Commission, calculates a school district’s discounted rate by the number of free and reduced

lunches in the district. A cap is determined by district enrollment times $150 per student.

“The E-Rate program is an indepth and complicated process,” said Seaborn. “But because they make so much money available for school districts across the country, it makes it worth the time.”

The ERATE funding will also cover the cost of new cabling in computer labs, UPS backup and recovery, cache servers and large racks.

King’s life, legacy resonates for activists

BY ERRIN HAINES WHACK Associated Press

(Editor’s Note: A reminder that the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be celebrated locally today at 2 p.m. at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church. Organizers are calling it a “Dream Bigger, Dream Better” communitywide event and there will be speakers and entertainment.

Hopewell M.B. Church is located at 464 Highway 356 in Rienzi. For more information contact the church at 662-4628598.)

PHILADELPHIA — For Abdul Aliy-Muhammad, the Martin Luther King Jr. he learned about as a child was a man of love, peace and racial harmony, a gifted orator.

It wasn’t until Aliy-Muhammad became an activist that he came to know, and appreciate, the King who decried the Vietnam War as “unjust” and made a firm, insistent case for economic justice for black Americans.

“There is a Martin Luther King that is important to the resistance movement that we

REMAINS

don’t hear about,” said the 33-year-old co-founder of the Black and Brown Workers Collective in Philadelphia. “We always hear about love and forgiveness. ... There was also a King who was radical.”

Younger black activists say they prefer the pointed, more forceful King to the Nobel Prizewinning pacifist who preached love over hate as he led nonviolent marches across the segregated South. They like the fact that the urgency in King’s demand for equality in the years just before his assassination in 1968 is in keeping with the tenacious nature of today’s Black Lives Matter rallying cry.

“Then as now, it was about promises not translating into substantive transformation,” said Princeton University professor Imani Perry. “The questions young people are asking and the way they’re challenging the status quo are important. If we don’t have that kind of vision, we end the possibility for change before we even have the conversation. In that sense, they really are carrying the torch.”

Fifty years ago this month, King retreated to the Caribbean with his wife, Coretta, and a few friends to write his final book, “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?” In the book, published in June 1967, King argued for racial equality for black Americans through the wholesale embrace of social and economic reform.

During the book’s promotional tour, King spoke out against the Vietnam War and criticized U.S. leaders for allowing slum conditions to persist in the cities. “Everyone is worrying about the long hot summer with its threat of riots. We had a long cold winter when little was done about the conditions that create riots,” King said in June 1967.

Today’s young activists say King’s harsher words resonate just as much as his methods of peaceful protest.

“We do King a disservice when we try to tell a flat story of turning the other cheek,” said 31-year-old Charlene Carruthers, national director of the Black Youth Project 100 in

Chicago. “It was never simply that.”

As Carruthers sees it, “agitation” was the core of King’s work. “Their agitation shows up differently than how our agitation shows up today. However, I think King’s work and the work we do are part of the larger tradition of black radical resistance.”

In an August 1967 speech to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, King pointed out disparities in unemployment, housing, education and infant mortality. He called for black Americans — then barely a century out of bondage — to “assert our dignity and worth.”

“The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy,” King told the audience.

“Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.”

King fought to end public segregation and fought for the right to vote. But he also advocated for a living wage and worked to

close the employment gap for blacks and spoke out against discrimination in policing — to which rioting was a common response. King reacted to the Feb. 29, 1968, release of the report by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, also known as the Kerner commission, by noting that the solutions suggested “have been made before almost to the last detail and have been ignored almost to the last detail.”

It is a familiar climate for some working in the Black Lives Matter movement, who see their efforts in cities like Ferguson, Missouri, Chicago, Baltimore and Cleveland on a continuum that reaches back to King.

They identify with the fact that King was only 26 when he was thrust into a leadership role in the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. When he died at 39 in 1968, before he could launch his Poor People’s Campaign, King was still far younger than civil rights establishment figures such as A. Philip Randolph and Adam Clayton Powell.

the remains. Although the nature of the death is not know, the area is being treated as a crime scene.

The previously discovered remains, believed to be from the same individual, are in the hands of the crime lab for analysis.

“We still at this time do not know the identity, age, race or sex of the remains,” said Caldwell.

“We’re hoping we get some things where we can identify who it is and the cause of death.”

The remains were on top of the ground and, by appearance, are not recent, he said.

The case began on Jan. 4 when a dog brought partial human remains to a County Road 510 residence.

It’s the Corinth Fire Training Academy, and firefighters representing several states are there to teach and improve fire fighting skills at the James Young Training Center.

“The goal is to be as realistic as possible,” said Dave Brasells, a Nashville, Tenn., firefighter and also representing the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Fraternal Order of the Leatherheads Society, a non-profit group devoted to helping firemen. “We share tips and tricks, stress safety and getting any victims out faster.”

Brasells and fellow leatherheads — the term used to describe old firemen’s helmets — travel throughout the U.S. to assist in training exercises.

“It’s going very well,” added the fireman, his brow covered in sweat.

Both career and volunteer firefighters took part, including Wenasoga, Corinth and Biggersville on the local level and Booneville, Michie, Hardin County and Eastview on a regional level, noted Whirley.

An instructor from Arcola, Virginia was also taking part.

“It’s a humbling feeling to know people will drive 12 hours to come to Corinth for training,” said Corinth Fire Department Lt. Michael Taylor.

There were about 10 different stations providing many scenarios for attacking fires, noted Whirley.

Many were forceable entry exercises for firemen to get through doors, locks and even burglary bars.

This is the first year of the Corinth-based academy, noted Whirley.

Due to the response, “it could turn into an annual event,” he said.

(Firefighters expressed appreciation for the local businesses who provided materials for the training academy, including Lowe’s, Timber Products Company, Servpro and Southeast.)

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

School trustee deserves thanks We join the entire community with sending some great appreciation to Jerry Finger for his decade of dedicated and loyal service on the Corinth School District Board of Trustees.

The current term for Finger, who is president of the board, expires March 1, and members of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen are moving toward appointing a new trustee after learning last week that he plans to retire from the school board.

“It’s been a great learning process for me, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it,” Finger recently told the Daily Corinthian. “I’ve just reached the point where I want to pursue some other things and let someone else have an opportunity on the board.”

We hate to see Jerry go, but understand his reasoning that sometimes it is good for all boards to have some new blood.

The trustee president said he has been pleased with the district’s progress during his involvement with the district and we certainly agree with him.

Finger also serves on the city’s board of adjustment and planning commission. He is treasurer for the Black History Museum of Corinth and a board member of Northeast Mississippi Community Services.

Finger operated a transportation company in Chicago until selling it and retiring to his native Corinth.

Other members of the board of trustees are Chip Peterson, Frank Davis, Dennis Dilworth and Becky Null. Terms for the trustees are five years.

We wish Jerry Finger the best and look forward to working with his replacement as appointed by the city board and all of the other current trustees.

Living wage: Wrongheaded as minimum wage What future will America have when so many of her citizens lack the ability to engage in critical thinking, refuse to connect the dots, and fail to use common sense?

This unwillingness to think clearly is no better demonstrated than by the continued support for the minimum wage. After all the studies and the nearunanimous opinion of economists -- and even after the negative real-world effect of the minimum wage -- it still remains popular.

Why? Sadly, most people are simply unaware of the argument against the minimum wage. They just don’t know about the vast body of research that shows the harm.

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten recently called for a “living wage.”

In a speech to the National Press Club, Weingarten said, “We need to fight for a living wage, for retirement security, for affordable and accessible health care and college, and for universal pre-K, to name a few.”

Maybe the problem is that liberals, like Weingarten, simply pay no attention to what conservatives say.

So let’s use liberals. Two of the most well-known liberal economists have criticized the minimum wage and its twin, the living wage.

Jonathan Gruber, the architect of Massachusetts’

Romneycare and coarchitect of Obamacare, said in 2011: “Let’s say the government Larry rolled in and Elder set a minimum wage.

Columnist ... Workers want to supply more hours than firms want to hire. ... You end up with excess supply. And we call that excess supply ‘unemployment.’” Gruber discussed the pressure that raising minimum wage puts on employers to turn to automation: “We have a downward-sloping demand curve, and why is it downward sloping? Because the higher the wage, the fewer workers the firm wants to hire. It would rather use machines instead.”

Gruber once argued against paid leave, as well.

Employers, he said, will simply reduce wages so that the overall compensation cost to employers is the same, giving the worker no net benefit. In 1994 Gruber wrote: “I study several state and federal mandates which stipulated that childbirth be covered comprehensively in health insurance plans, raising the relative cost of insuring women of childbearing age. I find substantial shifting of the costs of these mandates to the wages of the targeted group.” In

other words, if an employer is forced to pay for family leave, the employer will simply reduce the employee’s wages to offset the cost.

The New York Times leftwing columnist and economist Paul Krugman also made the case against the minimum wage. In 1998, Krugman reviewed a book that supported the living wage, titled “The Living Wage: Building a Fair Economy.” Krugman opposed it: “The living wage movement is simply a move to raise minimum wages through local action. So what are the effects of increasing minimum wages? Any Econ 101 student can tell you the answer: The higher wage reduces the quantity of labor demanded, and hence leads to unemployment.”

Krugman even dismissed a widely cited study that purports to show the positive effect of minimum wages: “Indeed, much-cited studies by two well-regarded labor economists, David Card and Alan Krueger, find that where there have been more or less controlled experiments, for example when New Jersey raised minimum wages but Pennsylvania did not, the effects of the increase on employment have been negligible or even positive. Exactly what to make of this result is a source of great dispute.

Card and Krueger offered some complex theoretical rationales, but most of their

colleagues are unconvinced; the centrist view is probably that minimum wages ‘do,’ in fact, reduce employment. ...”

“In short, what the living wage is really about is not living standards, or even economics, but morality. Its advocates are basically opposed to the idea that wages are a market price - determined by supply and demand, the same as the price of apples or coal.”

Minimum- and livingwage proponents also support equal pay for men and women. By doing so they make inconsistent arguments. On the one hand, employers are so cheap and greedy that they would pay virtually nothing for labor if the government did not force their hand.

On the other hand, the same greedy employers are happily overpaying men who, according to the equalwage activists, are being paid more than women for doing the exact same work.

Why a greedy employer would both underpay and overpay at the same time is never explained.

Intelligence community, Russia and Trump On Wednesday, in his first news conference as president-elect, Donald Trump came out swinging — against some of the media (while praising others), against the policies and performance of the Obama administration, and against the intelligence community.

He had some legitimate reasons. One was CNN’s report that Trump had been briefed that Russian operatives say they have compromising information about him. And BuzzFeed published a 35-page document it described as “a dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, (alleging) Russia has compromising information on Trump.”

Pretty dodgy stuff. It turns out that this dossier had been circulated widely to news organizations, which have been trying to verify some of the charges and failed to do so. Trump praised his perennial nemesis The New York Times for declining to air the document, and BuzzFeed even noted, “The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors.”

One of those errors Trump was able to point out. His staffer Michael Cohen — said by the person

claiming to be a former British intelligence official to have communicated with Russians Michael in Prague -Barone showed, by photographColumnist ing his passport, that he hadn’t been out of the country at the time.

“Fake news,” Trump charged at the news conference, turning back on his critics a meme they have been using to suggest that voters were gulled into voting for him. “I think it was disgraceful, disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out.”

One must add that it’s not clear that “intelligence agencies” let out the information.

But if they did, it was in line with the report they delivered to President Barack Obama last week claiming with high degrees of confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin directed the hacking and release of emails from the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.

That report said the Russians wanted to discredit

Clinton when she was the favorite to win the election.

But she was the favorite to win — on psephological websites, in betting markets and in newsrooms everywhere — until about 9 o’clock Eastern time on election night.

For his part, Trump retreated from his longstanding and puzzling reluctance to identify Russia as the hacker.

My ability to read the minds of leaders of the intelligence community is weaker than theirs to read Putin’s, and I lack knowledge of just how the 35page dodgy dossier found its way into the computerized hands of BuzzFeed. But what we’re seeing looks an awful lot like an attempt by intelligence officials, probably including presidential employees, to delegitimize the president-elect and his administration. It’s in line with the warnings to Trump

by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer not to tangle with the intelligence community.

That’s disturbing, even if you are troubled also, as I am, by Trump’s persistent unwillingness to criticize and persistent propensity to praise Putin. Just before Trump met with the press in New York, his nominee for secretary of state,

Rex Tillerson, was fielding pointed questions from Republican Sen. Marco Rubio about policy toward Russia.

Those are fair questions.

Russia has invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea in violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. There’s evidence — see David Satter’s Aug. 17 piece for National Review — that the Putin regime has committed murder.

Meanwhile, Trump booster Sean Hannity has been recalling that the Soviet Union was our ally in World War II. But that was only after Josef Stalin’s erstwhile ally Adolf Hitler invaded Russia and Churchill said, “If Hitler invaded hell, I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”

Things are not so dire today. Perhaps, as Trump says, we can work with Russia in fighting radical Islam.

Perhaps not. There’s room for disagreement on that — but not about whether the intelligence community should be undermining the president-elect.

Trump unleashes attack against civil rights legend

BY STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

NEW YORK — Donald Trump tore into civil rights legend John Lewis for questioning the legitimacy of the Republican billionaire’s White House victory, intensifying a feud with the black congressman days before the national holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and as the first AfricanAmerican president prepares to leave office.

Trump tweeted on Saturday that Lewis, D-Ga., “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.”

The incoming president added: “All talk, talk, talk — no action or results.

Sad!” Lewis, among the most revered leaders of the civil rights movement, suf-

fered a skull fracture during the march in Selma, Alabama, more than a half-century ago and has devoted his life to promoting equal rights for African-Americans.

The weekend clash highlighted the sharp contrast between how many African-American view Trump’s inauguration compared with Barack Obama’s eight years ago.

It also demonstrated that no one is untouchable for scorn from a president-elect with little tolerance for public criticism. Trump has found political success even while attacking widely lauded figures before and after the campaign — a prisoner of war, parents of a slain U.S. soldier, a beauty queen and now a civil rights icon.

Lewis, a 16-term congressman said Friday that he would not attend Trump’s swearing-in cer-

emony at the Capitol this coming Friday. It will mark the first time he skipped an inauguration since joining Congress three decades ago.

“You know, I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It will be hard. It’s going to be very difficult.

I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president,” Lewis said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” set to air today.

“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” Lewis said.

Lewis’ spokeswoman, Brenda Jones, declined to respond to Trump and said the lawmaker’s “opinion speaks for itself.”

“We as a nation do need to know whether a foreign government influenced our election,” she said.

Deadline to file general bills is Monday, which means next week will be a busy one on the House floor.

funded the current formula only twice since it was put into law in 1997.

From 2009 through the current budget year, funding has fallen $1.9 billion short.

CAPITOL CONTINUED FROM 1A

Carpenter.

Last year a similar bill was defeated late in the session.

“Speaker Gunn’s bill this year is pretty much the same bill as we talked about last session,” said Bain. “It’s really a common sense bill. This is what you can do and this is what you can’t do.”

If passed by the Senate and signed into law by the governor, the bill would ban spending, and require officials to itemize credit card bills instead of paying a lump sum.

Officials could still use campaign money to cover campaign and official expenses, including travel to party conventions and association meetings, car rental and accommodations in Jackson.

Lawmakers could continue to pay for expenses connected with legislative sessions that are in excess of what is covered by the $140-per-day expense payment they collect.

Lawmakers would also be allowed to pay a mortgage on a house or condominium in the Jackson area with campaign money.

According to The Associated Press, 99 officials have withdrew funds after leaving office in recent years, including former Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck who cashed out more than $50,000.

“Anything that helps rid this state of corruption is what we as lawmakers should continue to focus on,” added Bain.

Other bills A few other bills made there way out of the House moving closer to becoming law.

One bill would require drivers to show proof of liability insurance to renew their car tag.

“About 28 percent of the drivers in our state are still driving without insurance,” said Carpenter.

“You must have insurance – that’s already law, why not enforce it when applying for a new tag.”

Carpenter said the bill is the starting point to fixing a flaw in the current law.

Another bill passed by the House last week would give board of supervisors the authority to redraw fire protection districts so all residences are within five miles of fire protection. A third would authorize the Department of Revenue to compromise and settle a tax liability that is a doubtful claim.

All three bills passed the House without much opposition and will be sent to the Senate for consideration.

Senate quite time The first full week of the 2017 session was a quite one for the Mississippi Senate.

Leaders meet with committees for the first time and looked at bills and some resolutions authored by senators from across the state. Some bills were sent to the House floor, while others were sent to different Senate committees for discussion.

Education funding EdBuild, the company the state hired to research the public education funding formula, will present its recommendations for changes to be made to the law on Monday.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves (R) said earlier this week lawmakers still plan to rewrite and pass into law a revised formula for the Mississippi Adequate Education Program this session.

The changes could increase funding for some of Mississippi’s 141 school districts, but decrease it for others, unless lawmakers increase overall funding.

Lawmakers have fully

More cuts Gov. Phil Bryant announced late in the week he has ordered another round of cuts from Mississippi’s $6.4 billion budget.

Poor state revenues are again the reason for the latest $51 million in cuts.

Funding for most programs will be cut just under 1.5 percent, pushing cuts for the year above 3 percent. Some programs are exempt, including public education.

Bryant said the cut “will be enough to get state government through the current fiscal year”. The governor can however still take another $46 million from the rainy day fund without legislative action to cushion more cuts if needed.

Many begin day at The Pit Stop

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com

It’s a place where the early morning smells of coffee and breakfast mingle in the air with the sound of conversation among old friends. A place where people gather to mull over what’s happening in politics, local news and with their favorite sports teams.

The Pit Stop is one of Corinth’s most popular morning gathering places, where folks come together for food and conversation at the start of the day. That’s not to say it’s all about breakfast — the restaurant also offers a variety of lunch choices and a popular array of daily specials. But one early morning look at the Pit Stop’s parking lot shows how important the first meal of the day is to this local business.

“People meet here every morning. They’re here when it opens,” said Pit Stop owner Bobby White.

“You come in and sit right here in the morning, and that’s the best politics table ever.”

White said his goal with the business is to take care of the people of Alcorn County and Corinth.

One of the main factors in the Pit Stop’s success is its food — starting with breakfast.

“We’ve got a fantastic

“Everybody who works here is great at what they do, and that’s key to it. If you treat your customers right, you can never go wrong.”

Bobby White Stop owner breakfast,” said White.

“We have the biggest tenderloin and biscuits around.”

When breakfast is over, the Pit Stop begins its daily lunch specials: meatloaf on Monday, chicken and dressing on Tuesday, chicken and dumplings on Wednesday, hamburger steak on Thursday and smoked backbone on Friday.

Another popular item is the original patty melt.

“We’re the only one that’s got the original patty melt sandwich,” White explained. “The original. We did that when I worked at Omelette House years ago, but we’re the only ones that do it now. It’s good stuff, man.”

The other factor in the Pit Stop’s success is its employees. To prepare for opening time at 5 a.m., Pit Stop employees start to arrive at 3:30 in the morning.

“That’s how you know you have good employees — they’re dedicated,” White said. “We’re blessed on that. Our em-

ployees are here to serve.

If it wasn’t for them, it wouldn’t go anywhere.”

It also doesn’t hurt that everything on the menu is reasonably priced.

“We try to give the people the best value for their dollar, the lowest prices we possibly can,” said employee James Franks. “That way you’ve got more money in your pocket for other stuff.”

The restaurant also does its part to show appreciation for the men and women who risk their lives daily to serve others.

Police officers, firefighters and paramedics receive a special discount — breakfast for $2 and lunch for $3.

“They’re putting their

lives on the line, so we’ve got to show our appreciation,” said White. “This is just our way to show we appreciate what they do.”

The Pit Stop is also a family business, “just like a maw and paw restaurant,” White said, all family owned and operated. White said his whole family work with the restaurant in one capacity or another. The people who make it all work include Dale, Regina, Maverick (a.k.a. “Cornbread”), Patsy, Jessica, Tanya, Stacey, Dana, Linda, Reba and Mitch.

“Everybody who works here is great at what they do, and that’s key to it,” said White. “If you treat your customers right, you can never go wrong.”

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Staff Writer/Photographer Zack Steen interviewed the Pratt family to share the story of teenage cancer survivor Addie Paige. See the story coming in the Crossroads Magazine Healthy Living Edition on Sunday, Jan. 29.

Sister worries hotel plans might insult rest of family D E A R ABBY: My sister and her family recently moved out of state after having lived near Abigail our family all life.

Van Buren herMom and I want to visit Dear Abby her this year, but she likely won’t have enough room for us in the house because she has three kids and only three bedrooms.

She does have a sofa bed and an air mattress, but neither my mother nor I want to sleep on them.

Both of us suffer from back and knee problems and don’t want to be uncomfortable.

Would it be rude if we stayed at a hotel?

We have never stayed with her family before, so we’re not sure if they would be upset. What is the proper etiquette here? -PUZZLED GUEST DEAR PUZZLED: Call your sister around the time you’re planning to visit, and tell her how much you both are looking forward to seeing her. Then ask if there are any hotels or motels nearby, making sure to explain that you and your mother plan to

stay in one because your physical problems prevent either of you from sleeping comfortably on a sofa bed or an air mattress.

To do that is not insulting, and it may take the pressure of “entertaining” off your sister’s shoulders, because with three children, I’m sure she’s plenty busy.

DEAR ABBY: I had a relationship with a man who was introduced by a family friend. Our relationship lasted a month before he ended it without giving me a reason. I went on with my life.

A year later, he sent me a message asking how I was and what was happening in my life. I was caught by surprise because I thought he had forgotten about me.

I replied casually, and the conversation continues.

He knows about my plans to work abroad.

He says he supports them and would like to send money to help me start, but he wants to keep it a secret and asked me to promise not to tell anybody. Is it OK to accept his offer? -- TEMPTED IN THE PHILIPPINES DEAR TEMPTED: I vote no.

Unless you fully understand why your benefactor wants to keep his generosity hush-hush, I don’t think you should accept. Keep your guard up and the relationship casual until you know a lot

more about him -- like whether the man is married, because I’m wondering if he may be.

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

DEAR ABBY: I have read letters in your column with suggestions for how to be a good wife, daughter-in-law, etc.

Would you please give me some suggestions for how to be a good former wife? I know things like not attacking the present wife, but when we are at family functions, what am I required to do? -- EX-WIFE ETIQUETTE DEAR EX-WIFE: Good manners dictate that you act like a lady. Not all divorces are friendly, but if you exhibit hostility, it will make everyone at the gathering uncomfortable.

Give a pleasant greeting when you see your ex. If relations are cordial, make conversation. If not, then occupy yourself with other family members. And when the party is over, say a pleasant goodbye. I think that about covers it.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It’s a new year, and that’s only one of many good reasons to move the furniture, change the lighting, interrupt your routine and take on a new activity. Different will be better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Emotional involvement is the enemy of objectivity. What does the stranger think? Ask and get a view of your situation from the outside. This is the best vantage for coming up with a solution.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In artist Yoko Ono’s famous White Chess Set, both players’ pieces are white, making the opponent’s arsenal indistinguishable.

You’ll create such a dynamic today and bring peace to your group.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The world you desired can still be. Don’t give up. Go back to square one and make sure that and all subsequent steps are checked off. Chances are you missed something simple that can be easily remedied.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve

formed a kind of magic circle with a few others -- a space in which you’ve agreed to uphold the world of a game, which is very different from the world outside the game. Go out of your way to keep the sacredness of this today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The money you earn doing your favorite kind of work is somehow sweeter. It seems as if it has a greater value than other money, and you’ll spend it in a special way because of this, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If the gift has strings attached, it’s not a gift; it’s a deal. Do you agree with the terms? More importantly, do you really know what they are? Implications are confusing. Don’t let them stay implied. Get them stated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Don’t let that hypnotizing influence tempt you away from what needs doing. The work may be tedious, but it’s also necessary.

Get it out of the way. Once you commit yourself, it won’t be so

bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because of your affectionate feelings, this person’s face is your favorite art, and your soul dances to the music of his or her voice. It’s an unrealistic experience, and that’s precisely what’s so good about it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Success is a vague aim in and of itself. It can mean many different things to many different people. Narrow it down. Better to have one task with “finishability” on your list than a collection of open loops.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Consider that maybe the only thing standing between you and your joy is allowing yourself to feel it. The person who gave you the impression that happiness is a luxury had it all wrong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Keep an open heart and mind to trivial matters. The fun, sad, seemingly inconsequential chatter you hear today will prove to be of more significance than you might have guessed.

Alcorn Central head basketball coach Mike Lewis points out something he wants his players to do on the next possession in recent game action at the ACHS Gym. Lewis has enjoyed a long, colorful career as a head coach on the high school and college level but places higher priority on God and family.

Mike Lewis: The man, the coach, the icon Mike Lewis has won a lot of games throughout his legendary and award-winning coaching career, but basketball takes a back seat to the two most important things in his life.

“I put God first in everything I do in my life, and my family comes second,” he said humbly in Kent a recent interin his ofMohundro view fice inside the Sports Editor Alcorn Central High School gymnasium.

“Sports falls in there after those two things.”

The well-known basketball coach — in his second stint

at Alcorn Central — was born and raised in the heart of Corinth.

“I was raised over on North Parkway, and we played ball nearly every afternoon right there in the neighborhood, or we would end up going and playing at the Y.” For those not familiar with Corinth sports history, the “Y” is the former YMCA at the dead-end of Webster Street where thousands of young boys and girls were trained in a Christian-based atmosphere to be their best at multiple sports including football, baseball and basketball.

“Back in the day we really had nothing to do in the house, so we would get out and play,” Lewis reminisced.

“But that was good because it kept us out of trouble and gave us something fun to do. It also taught us how to be better athletes and better people.”

Lewis said he feels strongly that today’s youth could use a big dose of how things were back in those days.

“The kids today are too busy with social media, video games and things like that,” he said. “They don’t really get the exercise they need, and they end up getting to junior high and high school thinking they should just be able to play ball for those few months without really working at it.”

Lewis knows a little something about success on the court.

He was the maestro that

orchestrated the state title run for the 1987-88 Alcorn Central Golden Bears, otherwise known as the Century 21 boys.

That nickname was created when that year’s team would wear gold blazers and ties to games, similar to what Century 21 insurance agents used to wear.

Coach Mike Lewis has won over 500 basketball games at both the high school and junior college level and has won numerous coaching awards to compliment that state title he won in Glen almost 30 years ago.

Schnider, Peters lead MSU to 3rd-straight SEC win Mississippi State Sports

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State moved to 3-1 in Southeastern Conference play for the first time since 2010 with Saturday afternoon’s 67-59 win against Texas A&M. A season-best crowd of 8,588 and a national-televised CBS audience watched as the Bulldogs rallied from an early 10-point deficit to knock off the Aggies for a third-straight conference win for the first time since 2011.

The Bulldogs also snapped a four-game losing streak in the series with the Aggies.

MSU improved to 12-4 overall and 3-1 in league play,

while Texas A&M fell to 9-7 and 1-4.

“That was a big-time win against a really good team,” MSU coach Ben Howland said. “I am excited about how we were able to find a way after such a poor start. Texas A&M has NBA-type length.

Really proud of our team.

Schnider (Herard) was huge for us. He was a force inside.”

Herard led the Bulldogs with a career-high 16 points.

Lamar Peters added 14 points (including an 11 of 11 day at the free throw line), while Quinndary Weatherspoon had 13 and Aric Holman had 11.

Peters, whose father passed away this past week, had 5 steals and 4 assists.

Holman and Mario Kegler led the Bulldogs with 5 rebounds apiece.

The Bulldogs went better than seven minutes without scoring to stat the contest.

Peters finally helped the home team break through with three free throws with 12:25 left. The Aggies had already scored the game’s first 10 points.

To turn the game back around, the Bulldogs did it on the defensive end, scoring 11-straight points and forcing four straight turnovers

to take the lead. A 3-point play by Mario Kegler gave the Bulldogs an 11-10 lead.

From there, the contest was nip-and-tuck throughout.

The Bulldogs built a 16-12 lead on a dunk by Herard. A 9-1 run sent the Aggies back ahead 21-17. Herard scored as time expired to give the Maroon and White a 25-24 lead at halftime.

Overall, the score was tied four times and the lead changed hands 17 times.

“Excited about the crowd today,” Howland said. “The Please see MSU | 9A

LEWIS CONTINUED FROM 8A

(2013), the State Junior College Hall of Fame (2014) and the Northeast Mississippi Coaches Association Hall of Fame (2014).

Lewis has been honored with several coach of the year awards since his first at Water Valley back in 1979, when he was selected the Tri Lakes Conference Coach of the Year. He took a team that had averaged a mere two to three wins a year over several seasons and went 10-13 in just one short season.

If you do the math, that’s a 500 percent improvement in just one year compared to what they had experienced the previous decade.

He was also named the Daily Corinthian Coach of the Year in 1987, the Daily Corinthian, Daily Journal and Clarion Ledger Coach of the Year in 1988 after the Golden Bears championship season, the Tombigbee Conference Coach of the Year in 1989 and the Tippah County Coach of the Year in 2013 during his time at Walnut.

During his 12-year tenure at Northeast, his teams won two region titles and went to two national tournaments in Hutchison, where they finished as high as eighth in a field of 16 teams.

His Tiger squads also won three state championships and four North Half Titles.

His first true recruit was Donte Jones, who many remember from his Final Four days at Mississippi State after his awardwinning career with the Tigers.

In all Lewis, won 200 games as the head men’s coach at Northeast, but he almost didn’t take the job.

“Coach (Harvey) Childers (the legendary NEMCC men’s coach whom Lewis replaced) called me one morning and told me he was about to announce his retirement and he encouraged me to apply for the job. But I was happy here at Central and things were going really good,” Lewis recalled.

“I prayed about it a lot. One night I was at the altar at church praying about it, and our preacher — who I don’t think knew anything about the job offer — came over to me and said he felt led to tell me to take the job.”

Lewis’ wife, the former Shirley Tyson of Kossuth, even inspired the good coach to take the job, although it would require them moving to the Booneville campus.

She taught school in Alcorn County and their home was here.

“She was the one who finally told me that the Lord was telling me to go ahead and take the job and lay that burden down at his feet,” Lewis said. “After I accepted the position, we enjoyed

12 wonderful years at Northeast, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.”

An interesting side note in Lewis’ playing and coaching career is that he was more of a baseball player than football or basketball.

And he’s coached them all at multiple schools including Water Valley, Biggersville and Alcorn Central. He’s also helped coach track.

Lewis graduated from Corinth High School in 1969 and played basketball under former head coach Jim Horton. He also was on the Warrior baseball team and that was his ticket to playing on the collegiate level.

He played two years at Northeast and finished his college career playing catcher at Delta State.

He started his coaching career at Biggersville in 1973. Seven years later, in 1980, he started back the previously-dropped baseball program.

Lewis coached football and baseball at Biggersville, and even helped with track. Then he got his first head basketball job at Water Valley in 1978.

Lewis stayed at Water Valley for a year before returning to Biggersville in 1979. He stayed there until the head coaching job opened up at Alcorn Central.

“We won the county basketball title at Biggersville in 1987, and then I came to Central, where we

won the county championship in 1988 and ‘92. We also won that state title in 1988,” he said.

Lewis would later coach at Kossuth, where he also won a county championship, making him the only coach in modern history to win Alcorn County championships at all three county schools.

After his time in Booneville, the Lewises moved back to the area and he began a six-year stay at Walnut, though he had planned on taking a couple of years off.

His Wildcats showed steady improvement from year one to year six before he got the call to return “home” to Alcorn Central.

“I hope to retire here when I’m done,” Lewis said. “I like it here, and it’s like home to me.”

The ACHS coach has been semi-retired since he left Northeast, but teaches one class each day in addition to coaching, and that suits him just fine.

The Lewis family is not only well-known and well-respected, it’s chocked full of successful athletes. Lewis’ wife Shirley played basketball at Kossuth and also played on the collegiate level.

Their oldest daughter Lesley starred at Alcorn Central, where she was a 1999 graduate. She played basketball, softball and tennis, and later played basketball at Northeast. She is married to State Rep. Nick Bain, and they

have three children: daughter Baylee Anna and sons Brooks and Baker. Lesley is the Corinth High School librarian.

Their youngest daughter Lana graduated from Alcorn Central in 2000 and starred on the Lady Bears basketball team. She also played softball and tennis and won the state title in the milerun for the ACHS track team.

She signed with Southern Miss where she started for the Lady Eagle basketball team all four years. She’s married to Ryan Taylor, a football and baseball coach from Water Valley. They live in Jackson, Mississippi, where she is an optometrist.

They also have two sons, Lewis and Luke.

Lewis has enjoyed a good journey to this point in his life, and his grandchildren are now the apples of his eye.

But, he still has that passion to coach. When will he know he’s done? “I really don’t know.

I imagine I’ll just know it,” he said.

For now, the current Golden Bears players should thank God every day to have a coach such as Lewis. He’s a teacher of young men and has enjoyed tremendous success on the hardwood at multiple levels.

But his first love will always be the Lord. That’s where he puts his trust, and encourages others to do the same.

Ryan leads Falcons to NFC title game The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Matt Ryan looked very much like an MVP, and the Atlanta Falcons are headed to the NFC championship game.

Ryan threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Falcons to a 36-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round Saturday.

Atlanta will face either the Dallas Cowboys or the Green Bay Packers, who meet Sunday in the NFC’s other divisional game.

After the Seahawks zipped down the field for a touchdown on the opening possession, Atlanta’s young defense largely shut down Russell Wilson & Co. the rest of the way.

Ryan and the highscoring Falcons took it from there — getting a huge boost from a holding penalty that wiped out an 80-yard punt return by Devin Hester.

Ryan hooked up with Julio Jones on a 7-yard touchdown and Tevin Coleman for a 14-yard score before finishing off the Seahawks with a 3-yard toss to Mohamed Sanu in the corner of the end zone with just under 4 minutes remaining, sparking a raucous chant of “MVP! MVP! MVP!” from a Georgia Dome crowd that stood most of the game, giving the Falcons the sort of homefield advantage that Seattle is used to having at the Link.

“It feels good,” said Ryan, who came in with a

1-4 record in the playoffs.

“I think we executed really well across the board.

We weren’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination, we made some mistakes. But consistency for the entire day was really, really good. I was proud of the way we played.”

Before a foot injury limited him in the second half, Jones made life miserable for Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, who got away with an apparent pass interference penalty on Atlanta’s star receiver when the teams met during the regular season, preserving a 26-24 victory for the Seahawks.

Jones was targeted eight times, coming up with six receptions for 67 yards to set a tone that Atlanta would not be in-

timidated by the Legion of Boom.

But, as usual, Ryan spread the ball around to everyone.

Speedy Taylor Gabriel had a 37-yard reception.

Running back Devonta Freeman slipped out of the backfield to haul in a 53-yard pass, putting a dazzling fake on replacement free safety Steven Terrell right in the middle of the field. The Seahawks sure missed Earl Thomas, out for the season with a broken leg.

In all, eight players caught passes from Ryan.

“He stayed on exactly the same path he had during the regular season,” said second-year Atlanta coach Dan Quinn, who beat the team he worked for previously as defensive coordinator. “He was on it.”

For only the fourth time in their 51-year history, the Falcons (12-5) will be playing for the conference title and a spot in the Super Bowl.

They made their only Super Bowl appearance during the 1998 season, falling to Denver in John Elway’s final game, and lost in the NFC title game during the 2004 and 2012 seasons.

sion, an Atlanta defense featuring four rookies and a bunch of secondyear players limited the Seahawks to a pair of a field goals before giving up a meaningless 31-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin in the closing minutes.

“It’s just really hard to think it’s over,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.

The Seahawks (11-61) couldn’t follow up a dominating win over Detroit in the opening round, the game turning dramatically on a holding penalty in the second quarter that wiped out Hester’s return to the Atlanta 7.

Instead of having firstand-goal and a chance to extend a 10-7 lead, Seattle was backed up to its 7. After Thomas Rawls was thrown for a 3-yard loss, Wilson attempted to drop back for a pass.

One problem: rookie right guard Rees Odhiambo, taking over after Germain Ifedi was injured, stepped back onto Wilson’s foot, sending the quarterback tumbling down in the end zone. Ben Garland fell on Wilson for a safety that turned the momentum Atlanta’s way.

Matt Bryant’s 35-yard field goal put the Falcons ahead to stay, and the home team closed out the first half with a 99-yard drive touchdown that was extended by Sanu’s brilliant, one-handed catch for 22 yards with Jeremy Lane grabbing at his arm.

After getting beat on Seattle’s first posses-

Dynamic Hester Facing his former team, Hester certainly had quite an impact on special teams.

Even though his longest play was wiped out, he had five kickoff returns for 194 yards, including a 78-yarder.

Hester played for the Falcons in 2014 and ‘15.

He signed with the Seahawks just before the playoffs.

Injury Report Seattle’s tight ends took quite a beating.

Brandon Williams went out with a concussion and Luke Willson was evaluated for a possible concussion late in the game.

Also, Seahawks cornerback DeShawn Shead did not return after being helped off the field with a left knee injury early in the second half.

The Falcons lost defensive end Adrian Clayborn with a biceps injury on Seattle’s opening drive.

Up Next If Green Bay upsets the Cowboys, the NFC championship game would be next weekend at the Georgia Dome, extending the 25-year-old stadium’s tenure one more game.

The Falcons are moving to $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium next season.

Program shares healthy message with students A love of a healthy lifestyle has led one Northeast Mississippi Community College instructor to share her story to the area elementary schools in hopes that they follow a healthy lifestyle as well.

Northeast biology instructor Dawn Hilliard of Hilliard Corinth spends her Fridays at local elementary schools helping those students learn about a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition.

In addition to Hilliard giving up her Fridays to help area students, Hilliard has enlisted the help of 20 Northeast students from around the region to aid in her mission.

“I feel it’s important that the students become involved in this program and give back to the community,” Hillard said. “Also, most of the students need volunteer hours for their program of study, so it’s a win-win” On Friday, Dec. 2, Hilliard and her troop spent almost five hours at Anderson Elementary

School in Booneville helping to share their love of fitness.

“The Anderson students are always energetic and eager to learn more about health and fitness,” Hilliard said. “I knew that since we had the fitNEss initiative grant on campus through the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Mississippi, the opportunity to work with Anderson elementary would align well.”

However, while Hilliard has been helping to educate area youth about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle for years; Northeast fitness director Joseph Pennington of Tupelo has bigger plans and is urging Hilliard to expand her program to include all elementary and middle school in Booneville and Prentiss County.

“One of our main goals in the second year of our Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Mississippi grant, was to spread the fitNEss initiative into the elementary schools.

We wanted to focus on healthy eating habits and

fun fitness activities for them. As we began to work on the logistics of developing and implementing the program, we heard that one of our own faculty members, Dawn Hilliard, had already began such a program,” said Pennington. “We’re excited to have her leading the charge in the elementary schools and know that her work there will not only have an impact on the children but on the parents as well.”

During a normal session with the elementary school students, Hilliard and her college-age students help students through circuit training for strength and coordination while discussing nutrition with them as well.

In addition to discussing the importance of a proper diet, Hilliard provides each student with a healthy plate handout to take home with them so that the lesson continues well after the school day.

“It’s ideal to reach people at an early age to help develop those healthy habits before unhealthy habits are formed,” Hilliard said.

Northeast Mississippi Community College biology instructor Dawn Hilliard of Corinth spends her Fridays at area elementary schools instructing students about the importance of exercise and a healthy diet. In addition to Hilliard, 20 Northeast students are actively involved with providing education to area elementary schools. Participating in the healthy initiative at Anderson Elementary School on Friday, December 2 included (front row l-r) Tiffany Erwin of Falkner, Elizabeth Franz of Tiplersville, Baley Hankins of Booneville, Calin Holley of Nettleton, Alison Strickland of Walnut, Breanna Deckley of Tishomingo, Abby Gray of Corinth and Dawn Hilliard of Corinth along with (back row l-r) Landon Meeks of Tiplersville, Aaron Ray of Corinth, Nathan Cleveland of Dennis, Joe Harbor of Corinth (in mascot costume), Geoffrey Pratt of Tupelo and Sara Talley of Kossuth. Not pictured but part of other elementary school fitness days are McKayla Bradley of Corinth, Laurie Bell of Walnut, JoBonna Hardy of Booneville, Olivia Irvin of Corinth, Bailey Miller of Olive Branch, Preston Mayo of Booneville, Haley Matkins of New Albany, and Madison Martindale of Walnut.

Pennington echoed Hilliard’s thoughts with, “It’s great to have near

endless resources (students, faculty/staff) to help implement these

types of programs and continue to grow the Northeast family”.

MaLeah Dalrymple takes title of Most Beautiful at NEMCC BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College freshman MaLeah Dalrymple of Tuscumbia, Ala., was crowned the college’s Most Beautiful at the school’s annual Parade of Beauties held inside the Seth Pounds Auditorium on Nov. 8.

Dalrymple bested 51 other contestants in claiming the crown to the annual pageant and the title of 2016-17 Most Beautiful.

With Dalrymple’s selection as Most Beautiful, the event marked the fourth straight year a freshman has won the pageant.

Booneville’s Carly Chittom took home the crown in 2015-16; Tishomingo’s Hannah Day claimed the top honor in 2014-15 while Booneville’s Lara Lynn Waddell was named the college’s Most Beautiful as a freshman in the 2013-14 pageant.

Booneville’s Krystal Jackson was the last sophomore to capture top honors when the New Site High School graduate bested a 35-contestant field in 2012-13.

Dalrymple was crowned by reigning 2015-16 Most Beautiful Carly Chittom of Booneville and was awarded flowers by Northeast president Ricky Ford.

Contestants in the annual Parade of Beauties are judged on poise, elegance and beauty.

As part of their on-stage presentation, contestants in the pageant had to tell about their hobbies and answer a question before the pageant, with the answers being read by the emcee as the contestant presented poise, elegance and beauty on stage.

This year’s question was, “If you had a magic wand, what is one thing you would ask for and why?”

Dalrymple answered, “If I had a choice to have a magic wand I wouldn’t want one because it would be such a huge responsibility to have that kind of power, and only God has the wisdom and judgment to be in control of everything on the Earth. However, all the power that humans need to change the world lies within us.

We have the ability to control our own thoughts, actions, and words. We can do this by making sure everything we say or do, follows the T.H.I.N.K. Rule: Is it True? Is it Helpful? Is it Important? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind? This is why I wouldn’t ask for one thing with a magic wand even if I could.”

Dalrymple listed her hobbies as cheering for the Northeast cheer squad, running and spending time with her friends and family.

Before Dalrymple was crowned the 2016-17 Most Beautiful, the 52-contestand field was narrowed to

a Top 21, a Top 10 before the four ‘beauties’ took the stage for the announcement of Most Beautiful.

Included in the Top 21 were freshman Anna Leigh Witt of Belmont, sophomore Madison Parks of Corinth, freshman Bailey Miller of Lamar, freshman Kylie Glass of Oxford, sophomore Kaylee Sims of Booneville, sophomore Savannah Dixon of Corinth, sophomore Addison Carter of Ingomar, sophomore Ashley Flowers of Iuka, freshman Taylor Dodd of Corinth, sophomore Alissa Ann Williams of Corinth, freshman Kaylee Davis of Iuka, freshman MaLeah Dalrymple of Tuscumbia, Ala., freshman Kasey McKee of Kossuth, sophomore Erin Wall of Ingomar, sophomore Khyla Shumpert of Booneville, freshman Kaitlyn Pounders of Belmont, sophomore Madison Switcher of Corinth, sophomore Monica Warren of Corinth, sophomore Savanna Pulliam of Walnut, freshman Angel Garner of Hickory Flat and sophomore Madison Martindale of Walnut.

Advancing from the Top 21 of the 2016-17 Most Beautiful pageant into the Top 10 were Sims, Dixon, Williams, Davis, Dalrymple, McKee, Wall, Shumpert, Warren and Martindale.

Dalrymple, Dixon, McKee, Wall and Warren

Northeast Mississippi Community College held its annual Parade of Beauties pageant on Nov. 8 in the Seth Pounds Auditorium on the Booneville campus.

Freshman MaLeah Darlymple of Tuscumbia, Alabama (center), bested a field of 52 contestants to take the crown for the 2016-17 academic year. Joining Darlymple in the Top 5 of the pageant included (from left) sophomore Erin Wall of Ingomar, freshman Kasey McKee of Kossuth, Darlymple, sophomore Monica Warren of Corinth and sophomore Savannah Dixon of Corinth. Other winners on the night included sophomores Claire Cornelius of Corinth and Sydney Chapman of Ripley as the Scholastic Award winners, which is given to the contestant/contestants who have a 4.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale with at least 28 hours or the next highest grade point average. Pageant judges selected freshman Shelby Palmer of Booneville for the Most Photogenic Award. all advanced to the Top 5 of the competition with Dixon, McKee, Wall and Warren all being named ‘beauties’ while Dalrymple picked up the overall crown.

Other winners for the night included awards for scholastic and photogenic categories.

Two contestants received the scholastic award for the 2016-17

pageant. Corinth’s Claire Cornelius and Ripley’s Sydney Chapman, both sophomores were awarded the scholastic prize at the end of the pageant.

Criteria for the Scholastic Award include a contestant having a 4.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale with at least 28 hours or the next highest grade point average.

In addition to the Scho-

lastic Award, Booneville’s Shelby Palmer, a freshman, was picked as the Most Photogenic Award, an award that contestants submit a photo of their choosing beforehand and the judges select the most photogenic from the submitted photo.

Northeast assistant director of bands Jason Beghtol of Tupelo served as emcee for the night.

‘Writing to Save a Life: The Louis Till File’ tells story of Emmett Till

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Writing to Save a Life: The Louis Till File” by John Edgar Wideman c.2016, Scribner $25.00 / $34.00 Canada 195 pages Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t escape your father.

For most of your life, you were known as Little Him. Junior.

Insert-your-father’sname-here’s kid. You’re a chip off the ol’ block, maybe named after your Pops, forever known as your dad’s offspring. But, as John Edgar Wideman indicates in “Writing to Save a Life: The Louis Till File,” that doesn’t mean that the supposed sins of

a father should be laid at the feet of his child.

On a hot Chicago summer day in 1955, 14-yearold Emmett Till took a train south to visit family in Mississippi.

He left with a sense of excitement and came home in a specially-ordered, glass-lidded coffin, because his mother wanted “the world” to know what had happened to him.

There was, of course, a trial for his murder, and 14-year-old John Edgar Wideman watched it unfold.

He’d always wanted to write “Emmett Till fiction” but real-life turned out to be more compelling: two weeks before the grand jury convened, someone leaked Em-

mett’s father’s confidential military records, revealing that Pvt. Louis Till had been hanged in Italy a decade earlier for the crimes of rape and murder.

The revelation changed the expected outcome of the trial.

In that same summer of 1955, Wideman fell in love, became brokenhearted, and saw pictures of dead Emmett in Jet magazine.

That summer, he was sad, confused, angry and so, he says, was his father.

There were other parallels, too; so many lines drawn from fathers to sons that made Wideman and his dad “afraid of each other.”

With that in mind, Wideman requested Louis Till’s file and discovered “helter-skelter” papers and a “hodgepodge of this and that…” Till had been just “a kid” when hanged, the probable victim of an “ugly story.”

Had he been around to “school his son… about the south,” would Em-

mett have come home alive?

Can a man change the outcome of his child’s existence?

Though “Writing to Save a Life” is an intriguing, even provocative book, it may be a struggle to read.

For sure, it’s going to take some getting used to.

In with news clips, files, history, current events, and reconstructions of what might have happened decades ago to Louis, Mamie, and Emmett Till, author John Edgar Wideman melts his own experiences and his imagination.

That’s a great method of storytelling, and it lends urgency and relevancy but it’s not very well delineated here – meaning

that it sometimes takes a minute to understand when this book takes a fictional turn and when it turns back again.

That can be a distraction, even as those switch-and-switch-backs add to the emotional feel of the story.

Purists may also find an occasional lack of punctuation to be quite irritating.

And yet – keep reading.

This is a hard-hitting, raw-spirited tale that ultimately gets under your skin, and it’ll make you think about fathers, sons, and what they might leave one another.

Keep reading – because “Writing to Save a Life” may become a book you can’t forget, even if you wanted to.
