Effort to launch faith-based drug rehab underway BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County supervisors on Monday learned of an eﬀort to launch faith-based drug rehabilitation centers for men and women in the community. Josh Hodum, pastor of Gospel Tabernacle, told the board about the eﬀort as the group actively shops for suitable facility locations. He said the group aims to open the men’s facility before the end of the year. “We want to partner with you in making something happen,” said Hodum, who said he assists people with drug addictions through justice court, circuit court and Corinth’s municipal court. It is planned to be an inpatient, long-term recovery program of nine months, with separate facilities for men and women. “When they graduate a program, we have a goal that we want them to be free from addiction and stay free minimum for a year,” said Hodum. “We

People of the Crossroads Tommy Wilson, Corinth “I know Jesus is the answer, and my desire is to share that with everyone,” said Tommy Wilson, who from age 15 to 30 was a hardcore drug addict and dealer. In 1998, after attending several church services with his wife, Wilson found God. “I watched God turn my life around,” he said. “Nineteen drug-free years later, I am a a satisfied customer of what He has done in my life.” Wilson now operates Living Free Ministries where he helps people who are struck in the same place he used to be. Married to Marea for 21 years, the duo started the annual Christmas Day Community Meal which feed more than 1,000 needy people in December. The couple has two children, 17-year-old Olivia and 22-year-old Preston, who recently married Tatum. Wilson also owns The Sleep Studio Mattress and Furniture Gallery in Corinth.

Across the Region Iuka Man, 63, dies in two-vehicle wreck IUKA — A 63-year-old Iuka man died as the result of a two-vehicle wreck just inside the Iuka city limits. The wreck happened about 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 72 near the intersection of Beachum Road. Keith Edwin Whitfield was attempting to cross four lane U. S. 72 southbound on Beachum Road when his 1989 Chevrolet pickup truck was struck by an eastbound 2014 GMC pickup driven by Earl Shields of Middleton, Tenn. Whitfield was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at North Mississippi Medical Center by ambulance. Shields was not injured. His wife, a passenger in the vehicle, sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Booneville Water association makes improvements BOONEVILLE — A multimil-

lion dollar improvement project bringing more dependable service to customers of the Big V Water Association is nearing completion. The work includes a new water tower, new well and miles of new lines that officials say will improve water quality and dependability of water service. Work began last summer on the $3.2 million project funded through a $1.4 million grant and $1.8 million loan from the United States Department of Agriculture’s office of Rural Development. The new tank just off Highway 4 is the most visible piece of the project and replaces the previous standpipe that had been located in the same area before being removed as the new tank came online. The tank provides more capacity than the previous storage location and gives the system a more robust backup capability that will allow them to continue providing service even if one of their tanks has to be removed from service for maintenance or repair, explained system operator Brandon Burcham. Previously if one of the tanks was down they would have to

connect to the Booneville water system as a backup. That link remains, however, for use in the event of a major emergency. New larger main lines are also being installed from the new tank south along Highway 4 and along Highway 364 and surrounding roads. These lines are currently in the process of being tested and given final approval before they begin connecting customers. Burcham explained the new, larger lines will provide better pressure and plenty of supply to meet the needs of customers now and in the future. The new lines will also reduce maintenance issues caused by the degradation of the fragile older main lines. A new well is also operating on Water Tank Road, replacing the previous well at the site which was examined several years ago and determined to have major problems that prevented it from supplying the needed amount of water. The new well has a larger pumping capacity than the previous supply point, providing more reserve capacity for the system.

Walnut Fire destroys residence, 4 vehicles WALNUT — A home was destroyed by fire recently in the Walnut Lake area. The Three Forks Fire Department responded to the scene around 1 a.m. on Jan. 30. According to the SouthernSentinel, Fire Chief Joey Jackson says that the house and four vehicles were destroyed. According to Jackson, the owner of the residence awoke to the fire and when he looked out into his hallway he saw that the roof of one side of his house had caved in. He immediately climbed to safety out of his bedroom window and called 9-1-1. Jackson stated that the Three Forks Fire Department personnel did not leave the scene of the fire until almost 5 a.m. The owner of the house was not treated for any injuries and there was no one else in the house at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is pending investigation by the Northeast Benton Fire Department.

Michie educator wins Teacher of Year BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

MICHIE, Tenn. — Passion for her job as a teacher is one of many reasons why Karla Burns was chosen from a field of eight to be the McNairy County Teacher of the Year. Burns will advance to compete on the district level with other West Tennessee teachers that are teachers of the year in their district. While many feel God is no longer in school’s classrooms, Burns plainly puts God first in her work as a teacher and her daily walk in life. “All credit goes to the Lord for everything I have done and will do,” said Burns. She uses Col. 3:23 as one of her life verses. “Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men.” Burns is in her 12th year as a teacher, all spent at Michie School. She has been a 3rd grade teacher throughout her career. Burns was Michie’s Teacher of the Year in 2011 in her first year of eligibility for the award. After graduation from Tennessee - Martin, she spent 18 years working at Roadway prior to making a career switch to be-

coming a teacher. She got her Master’s degree from the University of Phoenix to meet the requirements of becoming a teacher. Her then 12-year-old daughter Samantha Burns Ellis signed her mother up on a pop-up ad online and the school called to Burns tell her mother when she was on a sales call for Roadway. When the University of Phoenix called to ask about her interest, Burns laughed and said she agreed to register for the online courses. While at McNairy Central, Burns hoped to return to her alma mater to teach Home Economics before deciding to major in Business. She credits retired teacher Theresa Teague and all the Michie teachers for allowing her to observe them prior to her becoming a teacher. Burns mentions her four principals at Michie (Lynda Walters, Suzanne Henson, Wayne Henry, and Dr. Matt Allred) for their guidance and help during her teaching career.

“I love my students like they were my own kids. I encourage them, reward them, and discipline them to help them become better people.” Karla Burns McNairy Co. Teacher of the Year “Carolyn Giesler and Jan Woolworth have helped me many times,” said Burns. “Mrs. Carolyn is smart like a wise owl. Jan taught with me several years and helped me from the start.” Henry, now McNairy County’s Director of Schools, oﬀered much praise for Burns after spending three years as principal at Michie. “Mrs. Karla is a very conscientious teacher. She is very organized and passionate about being a teacher,” said Henry. “She does a tremendous job every day she comes into her classroom.” Henry said he told the group who surprised Burns last Thursday with the news of her award that what they saw in her class-

room that morning was the same thing that happened on all school days. “I love my students like they were my own kids,” said Burns. “I encourage them, reward them, and discipline them to help them become better people.” Burns thanked her husband, Phillip Burns, and her three daughters, Samantha, Rachel and Alicia Burns, for their support during her teaching career. “I told the committee during the interview that I was a Ramer Eagle at heart because I went to school there, but I love Michie School,” said Burns. “My three girls all went to Michie, my fellow teachers, the support staﬀ, and the community makes this a wonderful school to be a teacher.” She will get a gold apple, plaque, and a ring for her award. Henry made sure to point out the other seven Teachers of the Year in the county could have won the award. The other school’s winners were Renee Rowsey - Selmer Elem.; Tiﬀany Cima - Adamsville Elem.; Michael Harvill - Adamsville High School.; Aaron Killingsworth Selmer Middle; Gail Leatherword - Ramer; Ladonna Roland -Bethel Springs; and Molly Stanfield McNairy Central.

Corinth, Miss.

Lawmakers love to praise folks at home JACKSON — Mississippi legislators will flail their arms and raise their voices to disagree about substantial issues like education funding and state employees’ job protection. But they generally find bipartisan Emily peace and harmony in the act Wagster of commending the folks back Pettus home. The House and Senate adopt Capitol Dome hundreds of resolutions each year to congratulate sports teams, beauty queens, writers, actors, singers, painters, preachers, teachers and even other politicians. Most “commendatory” resolutions, in legislative-speak, are noncontroversial. Sometimes, an unexpected one will sail through with broad support. Such was the case Jan. 19, the last full day President Barack Obama was in office, when the Mississippi Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 552 honoring him as “one of the most consequential presidents in recent history” and recognizing the significance of his being the first African-American elected to the nation’s highest office. Republicans hold seven of eight statewide offices and majorities in the Mississippi House and Senate, and the state resisted many of the Obama administration’s policies during his two terms. As Obama prepared to leave the White House, though, Mississippi Senate President Pro Tempore Terry Burton sought bipartisan support for the Democratic-sponsored resolution commending him. Burton, R-Newton, said that “politics aside, party aside,” only 44 people had served as president, and holding the office is an honor. The resolution was adopted with no debate and no opposition, although Republican Sen. Michael Watson of Pascagoula voted “present,” which counted neither for nor against. Six Republicans and one Democrat were absent. The Mississippi House adopted the Obama resolution 116-0 last Friday. Four Republicans didn’t vote, and two were absent. The Obama honor was one of 30 Senate concurrent resolutions brought up as a block, which meant voting for one resolution meant voting for them all. There was no debate, but House Rules Committee Chairman Jason White, RWest, asked House members to carefully review the list before voting. There was a bit of confusion about another resolution listed on the House calendar Friday. House Resolution 9 was filed by Democratic Rep. Oscar Denton of Vicksburg to commend the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi for a public stance it took in 2016 — that the Confederate battle emblem should be removed from the Mississippi flag, and that the state should adopt a new flag that “represents, unites and respects the dignity of all the citizens of Mississippi.” White quickly told the House that the flag resolution was not cleared by the Rules Committee and should not have been printed on the calendar. Because of that, the House didn’t vote on it. “We’ve got so many issues other than that, that we have deal with,” White said later. “And there’s no consensus on the flag.” While bills have deadlines, resolutions do not. The House Rules Committee could consider Denton’s proposal any time before the session ends in April, though that’s unlikely. But, hey, that swim team that won a state championship? Those kids need commending. Emily Wagster Pettus has covered Mississippi government and politics since 1994. Follow her on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ EWagsterPettus .

Prayer for today Merciful Father, help me to know that my shadow cannot fall without me, and that my footprints cannot be found where I have never trodden. I pray that thou wilt make me so familiar with the right path that it may be mine to have the privilege of leading others to the right places. Amen.

A verse to share To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. —Titus 1:15-16

‘Stolen seat’ narrative is ironic STARKVILLE — U.S. Senate Democrats angry over the successful Republican decision to deny both a confirmation hearing and a vote to former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland are now referring to new President Donald Trump’s high court nominee Neil Gorsuch as a “nominee for a stolen seat.” Obama nominated Garland to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died almost exactly a year ago. That angry Democratic Party reaction to Garland’s unfair fate is understandable from a partisan standpoint, but it clearly ignores a significant amount of history when their own party acted and reacted in similar circumstances. Former Democrat Vice President Joe Biden served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee led his party’s eﬀorts to block former President Ronald Reagan’s appointment of Robert Bork in 1987. Biden would again try to impede former President George H.W. Bush’s nomination of a Supreme Court justice during the 1992 election year. In the confirmation of Justice Samuel Alito in the

mid-2000s, Biden brandished the filibuster like a weapon – as did former Sid Salter Democratic U.S. Sen. Columnist Harry Reid of Nevada and Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont. So “stolen seat” is a bit breathless in terms of characterizing Republican efforts to do the very same thing in the very same way to Garland in 2016. If the GOP has a playbook on partisanship in the judicial confirmation process, rest assured that Democrats are the co-authors of that tome. Any rational debate about how the otherwise straightforward process of the nomination and confirmation of federal appellate court judges must first stipulate that it long ago became a cesspool of partisan showmanship, procrastination, and character assassination. Neither the Democrat nor Republican parties can claim one solitary inch of high ground on the judicial confirmation front. Both parties do it. Slow rolling or blocking nominations disrupts the separation of

powers that the Founding Fathers intended. But that reality pales in comparison to the personal damage this public spectacle does to the judicial nominees – many of whom see their lives and careers reduced to exaggerated political caricatures. That happened to Obama’s nominee Garland, a graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law School and is a former U.S. Justice Department lawyer who supervised the investigations in the Unabomber and the Oklahoma City domestic terrorism bombing. Mississippians have seen this movie before. In 2001, then President George W. Bush nominated U.S. District Judge Charles Pickering of Laurel to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The Senate Judiciary Committee, then under Democrat control and led by Leahy, blocked confirmation. When the GOP took control of the Senate in 2003, Bush again nominated Pickering. This time, Democrats successfully filibustered action on Pickering’s nomination. In 2004, Bush gave Pickering a recess nomination that gave him less than a full year to serve on the 5th Circuit. Pickering was false-

ly accused of racism; it was enough to keep him from a full term on the bench. Republicans got in on the action in 2010 after Obama nominated thenMississippi Supreme Court Justice James Graves Jr., to the 5th Circuit. Republicans controlling the Senate Judiciary Committee failed to act on the nomination in 2010. In 2011, Obama renominated Graves and this time the Senate confirmed the nomination. As it was with Pickering, there was no substantive debate either here in Mississippi or on Capitol Hill that Graves wasn’t well qualified for the job. What was at issue for Graves — as it was for Pickering — was the perception of his politics. Pickering was perceived by Senate Democrats to be too conservative and that his political philosophies and religious faith might put him at odds with liberal Democrats on key issues. Graves was perceived by Senate Republicans to be too liberal and that his political philosophies might put him at odds with conservative Republicans on key issues.

Education in America stands at a crossroads In just a matter of days a decision will be made in Washington aﬀecting the futures of millions of children in low-income communities, and in the very troubled area of race relations in America. An opportunity has arisen that may not come again in this generation. That is an opportunity to greatly expand the kinds of schools that have successfully educated, to a high level, innercity youngsters whom the great bulk of public schools fail to educate to even minimally adequate levels. What may seem on the surface to be merely a matter of whether the U.S. Senate confirms or rejects the nomination of Betsy DeVos to be head of the U.S. Department of Education involves far bigger stakes. The teachers’ unions and the education establishment in general know how big those stakes are, and have mounted an all-out smear campaign to prevent her from being confirmed. What makes Mrs. DeVos seem so threatening to the teachers’ unions and their political allies? She has, for more than 20 years, been promoting programs, laws and poli-

cies that enable parents to choose w h i c h schools their children will attend Thomas -- whether Sowell these are charter Columnist schools, voucher schools or parochial schools. Some of these charter schools operate in low-income, minority neighborhoods in the inner-cities, and turn out graduates who can match the educational performances of students in aﬄuent suburbs. What is even more remarkable, these charter schools are often housed in the very same buildings, in the very same ghettoes, where students in the regular public schools fail to learn even the basics in English or math. You and I may think this is great. But, to the teachers’ unions, such charter schools are a major threat to their members’ jobs -- and ultimately to the unions’ power or existence. If parents have a choice of where to send their children, many of those parents are not likely to send them to failing public schools, when

there are alternative schools available that equip those youngsters with an education that can open the way to a far better future for them. Already there are tens of thousands of children on waiting lists to get into charter schools, just in New York alone. Those waiting lists are a clear threat to teachers’ unions, whose leaders think schools exist to provide guaranteed jobs for their members. Mrs. DeVos has shown that she thinks schools exist to educate children. One of the biggest complaints about her is that, unlike Secretaries of Education before her, she does not come out of the education establishment. Considering what a miserable job that establishment has done, her independence is a plus. Teachers’ unions have fought for years to prevent charter schools from being created. Now that such schools have been created, and there are now huge waiting lists, the teachers’ unions have gotten politicians to put a numerical cap on the number of such schools, regardless of how large the waiting lists are. Desperate attempts to smear Betsy DeVos, in or-

der to prevent her from being confirmed as Secretary of Education, have not let the facts get in the way. She is accused of “steering public dollars away from traditional public schools.” But nobody can steer anything anywhere, when it is individual parents who make the decisions as to where they want their children educated. The money follows the children. If charter schools educate one-third of the students in a district, and get one-third of the money, how does that reduce the amount of money per child in the public school? Actually, charter schools usually get less money per student, but produce better results. American education is at a crossroads. If the teachers’ unions and their allies can defeat the nomination of Mrs. DeVos, and the Republicans substitute someone else more acceptable to the education establishment, a historic opportunity will be lost, and may never come again in this generation.

Trump: Allow those into U.S. who ‘want to love our country’ Associated Press

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — President Donald Trump vowed Monday to allow only people who “want to love our country” into the United States, defending his immigration and refugee restrictions as he made his first visit to the headquarters for U.S. Central Command.

Trump reaﬃrmed his support for NATO before military leaders and troops and laced his speech with references to homeland security amid a court battle over his travel ban on people from seven majority-Muslim countries. He did not directly mention the case now before a federal appeals court after a lower court temporarily suspended the ban. “We need strong programs” so

that “people that love us and want to love our country and will end up loving our country are allowed in” and those who “want to destroy us and destroy our country” are kept out, Trump said. “Freedom, security and justice will prevail,” Trump added. “We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism and we will not allow it to take root in our country. We’re not going to allow it.”

works well for women who chose not to go to a safe house. Brett Butler, Crosswind case manager and associated with Mississippi United to End Homelessness, said they have seen every version of situations where women are fleeing domestic violence. He said many women prefer the FAITH program with its transitional housing for practical reasons such as situations where they have jobs to which they need to have close access. The case manager pointed out that these women have truly emergent needs. “Many of these women have fled with just the clothes on their back,” said Capps. He pointed out the usefulness of the donations as the apparel does more than just clothe the women in the program. Women that need a nice outfit for a job interview was one example he pointed out. Another example was the fact that it helps boost confidence and self-

esteem. “Some nice clothes go a long way toward restoration of dignity,” Capps explained. He said much of what an abuser does is to dehumanize the victim. FAITH participant and domestic abuse survivor Amy Roach was on hand to agree. She said having the nice clothes helped make her feel “like a human being again.” “You are stripped of everything in those situations. I was in a deep depression for years. I was good at hiding it, but my kids knew,” she said. Thanks to the donations, Smith and Taylor said there will be a wide variety of items to choose from in sizes extra small up to 28W —with tops, bottoms, dresses, undergarments and even some accessories. The two managers expressed a great enthusiasm that their company donations will be available to help a worthy cause.

Capps and Crosswind’s FAITH (Family And Individual Transitional Housing) program. “This year corporate wanted the donations to go to a domestic violence program. I had to research to find a place locally. What a blessing to find this program. I feel really good about it,” said Smith. Taylor said she was excited when Smith contacted her to combine their local eﬀorts. She said she responded with “let’s do this.” While the program can help people in diﬀerent situations, Capps said they primarily see women fleeing from domestic abuse. He said many of the victims have left their abuser more than once, but cannot find the strength to stay away, are too afraid of the retaliation or return for any number of complex reasons. Capps also said the program

rooms and the ball field. “We have outgrown our current space,” said Rencher. “We’re very excited about the move. Rienzi is such a good, christian community. It’s where we want to be.” With 70 students currently enrolled, Rencher said the academy has also seen an increase in registration calls from Rienzi area parents. “I believe the move is going to benefit us and the community,” she added. Currently located on Proper Street in Corinth, Pathway will oﬃcially move to Rienzi in April. The remaining classroom space at the property could also soon be leased. “We have talked with a state agency who’s looking for Alcorn County oﬃce space,” Williams said. The Rienzi school property has sat vacant for around seven months. The school district transfered the property to the town through a quitclaim deed in October 2016, after school board members voted to close the elementary school earlier in the year.

Eye on consumers

Walt Disney releases its fiscal first-quarter results today. Wall Street expects the media conglomerate to report that its earnings declined from a year earlier, even as revenue edged higher. Investors will be listening for an update on what Disney is doing to grapple with declining TV ratings as more people cut the cord and cancel cable or satellite service.

New data from the Federal Reserve will shed light on U.S. consumers’ borrowing behavior. The Fed releases today a report showing how much credit Americans took on in December. The tally, which excludes mortgages and other loans secured by real estate, is expected to show consumer borrowing decreased by $19.3 billion in December. Consumer borrowing rose in November by $24.5 billion, pushing total consumer credit to a record $3.75 trillion.
