Road funding debate continues

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Legislators continue to search for ways to fund road and bridge repairs throughout the Magnolia state.

House members passed an amended Senate Bill 2939 on Thursday which includes a new proposal for $50 million in bonds to be used to repair roads and bridges. The money

would come from the current use tax Mississippi is receiving through voluntary payments on out-of-state purchases by Mississippi residents.

If approved by Senate members and signed into law, the package could dole out $150 and $175 million on roads and bridges beginning in July.

“The amended bill will authorize any collections from any In-

ternet sales tax, like Amazon, in the future be designated to go to roads and bridges for a period of eight years,” said Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (D-Alcorn, Tishomingo). “We added the eight year repealer to be able to look at it down the road to see if the money was being spent appropriately.”

The proposal outlines $50 million in bonds with 25 per-

cent going to county supervisors and 25 percent going to city governments to spend on road and bridge repairs. The remaining 50 percent would be sent to the Mississippi Department of Transportation for needed repairs.

“I’m proud of the House for once again stepping up to provide a solution to the needs of our roads and bridges in Missis-

sippi,” said Republican Speaker of the House Philip Gunn. “The House has demonstrated it is serious about beginning to address the need this year.”

Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn) said he’s been working since January on a way to fund road and bridge repairs without raising taxes.

Prentiss County’s Justice Court clerk has been indicted for allegedly taking county money.

Justice Court Clerk Donna Marie Inman was arrested Wednesday by special agents with the state auditor’s office on one count of embezzlement.

She was indicted by the Prentiss County Grand Jury on Monday. The crime carries a potential penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

The indictment states the alleged embezzlement happened between Jan. 13, 2009 and Sept. 11, 2009.

The auditor’s office issued a demand letter for the repayment of a total of $6,335.92.

The amount includes the funds allegedly taken along with interest and costs associated with the investigation.

RAMER, Tenn. — An early morning house fire was a total loss for a longtime educator and his family.

Joe Horton, who served in education for 40 years in Alcorn and McNairy counties, was thankful that his family got out of the house without any injuries.

Pam Horton was awakened around 2 a.m. Thursday by a noise in the garage and went to check on the family dog, according to her husband. She saw the flames through the sliding glass doors and alerted Joe and their daughter, Callie Horton.

McNairy County Fire Chief Darrell Goodrum said he believed the fire may have originated in a refrigerator in the carport.

Local beauties will compete for crowns as organizers present the 2017 Miss Corinth Pageant.

Slated for 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 11 at the historic Coliseum Civic Center in downtown Corinth, the annual pageant now has a new distinction.

“For the first time in the history of Miss Corinth, we will be designated as a scholarship pageant,” said Corinth native Betty Boren Grothe who serves as the director for the Miss Corinth Pageant.

Corinth’s own Marshall Cook with Liberty Life and Casualty, is this year’s donor.

Thanks to their generosity, the winner of the Miss Corinth division will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

People of the Crossroads Linda Dunn, Theo Linda Dunn relishes the opportunity to tie together the branches of family trees as she volunteers one day a week at the Alcorn County Genealogical Society’s courthouse office. “I like to see people’s faces when you tell them something about their family that they had never realized before,” said Dunn, a Walnut native and Walnut High School graduate. She has researched her family’s line back to the first one that came to America. “If I have a night that I can’t sleep, I get on the computer and do genealogy,” she said. Dunn would like to see more young people get interested in the hobby. “I think you have to get to a certain point in life before you really get interested in it,” she said. “By then, you’re old enough that all the people that could tell you things are already gone.”

Range from baby through Miss, age groups will be as follows: Baby Miss (ages 0-1), Tiny Miss (ages 2-3), Petite Miss (ages 4-5), Little Miss (ages 6-7), Junior Miss (ages 8-10), Pre-Teen Miss (age 1113), Teen Miss (ages 14-16) and Miss Corinth (age 17 and up), The cost of entry is $55 with includes Miss Photogenic.

Dancing Like the Stars takes stage Saturday

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Expressing themselves through the art of dance, local celebrities will compete for stardom on Saturday as the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Mississippi presents “Dancing Like the Stars.”

Based on the same concept as the wildly popular American dance competition television series “Dancing With the Stars”, the highly anticipated dance-off will feature 17 couples from across the Crossroads.

Held at 6 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena, participants will show off their skills on the dance floor in

an effort to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Mississippi which includes chapters in Corinth, Iuka, Booneville and Baldwyn.

“We have been extremely busy practicing and preparing for this event and are so excited to bring it to our community,” said Chairperson Mary Dilworth who currently serves as the president of the Corinth Boys & Girls Club Board and as a member of the Corporate Board. “It is going to be so much fun.”

Featuring local and area ‘Movers’, ‘Shakers’, ‘Businesses’ and ‘Professionals’ as the stars, the

dance-off will include an unforgettable show, lively music and fellowship.

A full-meal consisting of a meat, two vegetables, a dessert and a drink will be served to audience members following the competition. Spectators will have the ability to cast ballots for their favorite contestants, all from the comfort of their tables, according to Dilworth.

Corinth resident Eric Powell and Sandy Childs of the Gift community will serve as the Toastmaster and Toastmistress for the night.

A mix of several musical genres, the dance numbers will include Latin

styles like Salsa, Cha Cha, Bachata, Samba, Merengue and others.

A panel of three out-oftown judges and one tiebreaker judge, also from outside the area will assess and make comments on each performance.

Artistic Director Volante Jones of the Corinth Contemporary Arts Center has volunteered her time and expertise to provide dance lessons leading up to the competition.

Audience members will recognize many if not all the competitors since, their friends, family members, neighbors and public officials will be

“We are going to have some wonderful entertainment, delicious food and a few surprises,” said Dilworth who looks forward to the festivities.

Cruise Street Market will also feature fresh meats and fish, along with fresh and organic fruits and vegetables scoured from local farmers. Spices, oils and other cooking essentials will be offered, along with some normal grocery items.

All items, Mabry said, will be local to North Mississippi or regional to Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana.

“We want to support local growers while offering our customers the freshest and most delicious foods available,” said Mabry. “We hope to offer an online order

Following the competition, attendees will have an opportunity to dance the night away as they enjoy an after the show party and dance with popular Corinth DJ Sugar Daddy John (John Owens) at 9 p.m. The cost will be $10 per person for those who do not purchase a ticket for the show.

JACKSON — Senators moved Thursday to fund public schools for 20172018, intensifying the question of whether lawmakers will rewrite Mississippi’s school funding formula in coming weeks.

The Senate Appropriations Committee amended House Bill 1502 , restoring $2.24 billion to spend using the current Mississippi Adequate Education Program. That’s the same amount lawmakers are spending this year.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn, both Republicans, have said it’s their top goal this session to replace that 20-year-old formula with a new plan.

The current formula calls for a certain amount of money each year, based on how much average school districts spend.

Lawmakers have only met the target twice in 20 years. The amount the Senate proposed Thursday would be $193 million short of the $2.43 billion the formula calls for in the year beginning July 1.

The bill now also includes $20 million to give promised bonuses to teachers in schools rated A or B, or schools that improve their ratings.

After the Senate committee acted Thursday, Gunn acknowledged that the formula may not be rewritten before the regular session ends.

“It could be before we

go home in three weeks and, if not, it would be, hopefully, shortly thereafter,” Gunn said. “But I’m not putting any timetable on it.”

Republicans say they want a new formula to link money more explicitly to the needs of each student. A new formula could also end the annual exercise of computing the shortfall, because there might not be any way of computing how much money is required besides what lawmakers say.

Lawmakers embraced most of a proposal by nonprofit consulting group EdBuild. But they rejected a call to increase local contributions, which could force about 30 property-rich districts to raise taxes or cut spending. Lawmakers have said any plan won’t raise a district’s local contribution above the current cap of 27 percent of formula funding.

Estimates by The Associated Press show it would cost the state roughly $145 million more if lawmakers adopt other EdBuild recommendations without requiring more local tax money.

Earlier, it appeared Reeves and Gunn were close to making a joint proposal. Gunn, of Clinton, stripped funding for next year out of the House bill, saying he wanted lawmakers to consider next year’s funding and a rewrite together in a special session during the regular session.

Gunn said he still hopes to start phasing in a new formula during 2017-18.

“Each alternate will receive a beautiful trophy,” she continued. “Miss Photogenic will also receive a crown and trophy.”

Across the Region Iuka Residents want burned building torn down

Today is Friday, March 10, the 69th day of 2017. There are 296 days left in the year.

IUKA — Iuka residents want the burned building on Eastport Street torn down.

A petition signed by 14 citizens was presented to the city board this week asking that the former law office of Tracey Clark Locke be torn down. City officials said the building had been left standing due to ongoing arson investigation.

Locke was indicted last week on two charges of arson and one charge of DUI maiming.

She is assuced of setting fire to both her personal home in Mill Creek and her downtown Iuka office.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 10, 1848, the U.S. Senate ratified the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War.

On this date: In 1629, England’s King Charles I dissolved Parliament; he did not call it back for 11 years.

In 1785, Thomas Jefferson was appointed America’s minister to France, succeeding Benjamin Franklin.

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell say over his experimental telephone: “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you” from the next room of Bell’s Boston laboratory.

In 1927, the Sinclair Lewis novel “Elmer Gantry” was published by Harcourt, Brace & Co. In 1949, Nazi wartime broadcaster Mildred E. Gillars, also known as “Axis Sally,” was convicted in Washington, D.C., of treason. (She served 12 years in prison.)

In 1952, Fulgencio Batista once again became leader of Cuba in a bloodless coup that deposed President Carlos Piro Socarras.

In 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tennessee, to assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudiated that plea, maintaining his innocence until his death.)

In 1973, the Pink Floyd album “The Dark Side of the Moon” was first released in the U.S. by Capitol Records (the British release came nearly two weeks later).

In 1985, Konstantin U. Chernenko, who was the Soviet Union’s leader for 13 months, died at age 73; he was succeeded

by Mikhail Gorbachev.

In 1987, the Vatican issued a 40-page document on scientific techniques involving procreation, condemning such practices as surrogate motherhood, test-tube births and cloning.

HOUSTON, Texas — It took 34 years of charity work for a Selmer man to receive national recognition for his efforts with the annual Children’s Shopping Spree. Phillips 66 honored Jack Cheshier at a banquet held at the company’s headquarters in Houston.

Cheshier was one of two people among the vast numbers of Phillips 66 employees across the world to receive a Community Service Award. He was one of just 10 employees to receive an award at the plush banquet.

“The award meant a great deal to me because it brought recognition to Selmer and McNairy County,” said Cheshier.

“This award was different because there were only 200 nominations among all of the Phillips 66 employees.”

The Children’s Shopping Spree has enabled over 9,000 children to receive gifts at Christmas with the help of the National Honor Society members at McNairy Central.

Phillips 66 manager Reid Dreher nominated Cheshier for the Community Service Award.

Dreher experienced his first Children’s Shopping Spree this past December. He brought his family with him to be a part of the day of giving to the students in the county.

Cheshier said he mentioned in his speech was more about the people of McNairy County by their generous giving spirit to make certain it is a successful event.

Fulton President steps down from post FULTON — In a surprise move at the opening of Monday’s

regular bi-monthly meeting of the Itawamba County Board of Supervisors, 1st District Supervisor Charles Horn stepped down from his longtime position as board president.

According to the Itawamba County Times, Horn has served as board president since 2012, taking over the position from former 4th District Supervisor Danny Holley, who held it for several terms.

The board has named 2nd District Supervisor Cecil “Ike” Johnson as Horn’s successor.

Johnson has served on the board since 2008.

Although Horn’s decision to resign as president will likely come as a surprise to many of his constituents, it didn’t come completely out of the blue. During a meeting in mid-February, Horn expressed frustration with elements and pressures of the bureaucratic process.

Tupelo City to host Area 11 Special Olympics TUPELO — For the first time in a long time, the Tupelo Public School District will host the Area 11 Special Olympics, reported the Daily Journal.

The annual event, which allows special education students to compete in various sporting events, will take place at Tupelo High School on April 7.

The event has been held at Pontotoc High School in recent years.

Monica Loden, a volunteer helping coordinate the event, said she and other volunteers, teachers and staff members are excited about the move.

With between 400-500 students expected to compete and many others expected to attend, Loden said the larger facilities at THS will be helpful in keeping the event organized and comfortable.

Students from Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss, Union, Lee, Pontotoc and Itawamba counties will travel to THS to compete.

Tupelo is also centrally-located, Loden said, making travel easier for some students coming from schools farther north.

Loden said students will compete in a range of trackand-field events, basketball, croquet and bocce ball using the THS track, turf field and dirt practice field.

The high school’s softball field and rubber floor gymnasium will also be used for the event.

Loden said she believes the event will be a positive one for both the students competing and Tupelo.

munity as a whole because our community is known for working together and supporting the public schools,” Loden said. “We have some fantastic people in our community who are ready to jump on board and help.”

Members of the community and local businesses have already shown interest in volunteering to help with the event, Loden said, including Chilly Willy Hawaiian Shave Ice. The Chilly Willy trailer will be parked at THS to sell concessions at the event, and the proceeds will go back to the school to be put into a Special Olympics fund for next year.

Some groups of students will work the Special Olympics as part of their senior projects, and other various clubs will also be involved with the event.

“It’s all kind of coming together,” Loden said. “Everyone’s working together to make sure the kids have a good day.”

In the event of rain or inclement weather, the scheduled makeup day for the event is April 13.

Corinth, Miss.

Sessions scandal is obstructionism Good citizens across the nation surely are wondering why, when critical business regarding America’s future needs tending to, the game preoccupying Washington, D.C., these days is “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.”

If there is some question about the propriety of conversations that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had with the Russian ambassador, when he Star was a U.S. senator, let those Parker responsible for investigating Columnist this – the intelligence committees in the House and Senate – do their job.

As Senator Marco Rubio, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee stated, “That is our job, to gather facts.”

I trust Rubio when he says, “I’m not interested in being part of a witch hunt, but I also will not be part of a cover-up.”

Those who don’t trust our elected officials or our constitutionally sanctioned institutions -- who look to appoint special counsels or select congressional committees -- are interested in dragging out and politicizing issues for a personal agenda, not in moving forward and efficiently getting done the nation’s business.

If citizens don’t like the job the intelligence committees do, we have elections every two years. This is the way our country works.

First, let’s recall that last November, Donald J. Trump won the presidency and Republicans retained control of both the Senate and the House.

At the same time, Republicans increased their governorships from 31 to 33 states and they now control both houses of legislatures in 32 states. Democrats control both houses in just five states.

The Democratic Party has been very thoroughly defeated. Now it’s time to return the nation, as stated by President Trump, “back to the people.” And those on the left are in panic.

Cut regulations and taxes? Get intrusive government out of the way and let our economy grow? Let businesses operate freely? Let individuals decide what kind of health care they need and give them the freedom to buy it? Let parents decide what kind of education is best for their children? Bring a new culture of selfreliance to troubled inner cities and get them off welfare state dependency, which has created an endless cycle of poverty? Beef up the defense budget so that America again stands strong and confident on the international stage?

Now that the American people have chosen this agenda, the only immediate option for those on the left, in panic as they watch their power slip away, is to throw sand in the gears.

One way to slow things down is personal attacks.

This is what is happening with Jeff Sessions.

Meeting with foreign ambassadors is routine business for U.S. senators. It is worthy of a “Saturday Night Live” skit to think that Sessions held a clandestine meeting, to discuss Trump campaign secrets with the Russian ambassador, in the light of day in his U.S. Senate office, where one of the meetings took place.

The left is doing what it does best. Throw mud, politicize everything and build obstacles against what they fear the most -- letting the American people get free of the whims of politicians.

The great interest in Russia these days is just another indicator of the deterioration of America’s unique leadership in the world.

This leadership is what must be restored.

A new survey of public attitudes by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reports, “Seven in ten Americans think the United States is losing its national identity ... and less than half express much pride in how democracy is working.”

Not surprising in this time of moral relativism and degradation of law.

Let the congressional intelligence committees do their work, and let’s move forward with the nation’s vital business.

Romans 5:17

Real subversives are in Washington At Mar-a-Lago last weekend President Donald Trump was filled “with fury” says The Washington Post, “mad — steaming, raging, mad.”

Early Saturday the fuming president exploded with this tweet: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”

The president has reason to be enraged. For what is afoot is a loose but broad conspiracy to break and bring him down, abort his populist agenda, and overturn the results of the 2016 election.

At its heart is the “deep state” — agents of the intel community, their media collaborators, and their amen corner in a Democratic party whose control of our permanent government is all but total.

At the heart of the case against Trump is what appears to be a Big Lie. It is that Vladimir Putin and Russian intelligence hacked the DNC and John Podesta’s email account, then colluded with Trump’s friends or associates to systematically sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Therefore, Trump stole the election and is an illegitimate president.

Yet let us consider the constituent components of the charge.

For months, we have heard that U.S. intel agencies agree that the Russians hacked

the DNC and Clinton campaign, and gave the fruits of their cybertheft to ikiLeaks, Patrick J. W because PuBuchanan tin wanted Columnist Trump to win.

F o r months, this storyline has been investigated by the FBI and the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress.

Yet where is the body of evidence that the Russians did this?

More critically, where is the evidence Trump’s people played an active role in the operation? Why is it taking the FBI the better part of a year to come up with a single indictment in this Trump-Putin plot?

Is this all smoke and mirrors?

In late February, The New York Times reported that Trump officials had been in regular touch with Russian intelligence officers.

The smoking gun had been found!

Yet, almost immediately after that report, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told Fox News “the top levels of the intelligence community” had assured him that the allegations of campaign contacts with Russia were “not only grossly overstated, but also wrong.”

If what Reince says is true, the real crime here is U.S. security officials enlisting their Fourth Estate

collaborators, who enjoy First Amendment privileges against having to testify under oath or being prosecuted, to undermine the elected commander in chief.

Now we expect Russia to seek to steal our secrets as we steal theirs. After all, our NSA wiretapped Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

Our NGOs are being restricted, shut down, expelled from Russia, China, Israel and Egypt, because they have been caught interfering in the internal affairs of those countries.

As for the alleged wiretapping of Trump Tower, President Obama has denied ordering any such thing and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper assures us nothing of the sort was ever done.

Yet, there are other reports that intelligence officials got a warrant to surveil Trump campaign officials or the Trump Tower, and, though failing to succeed in the FISA court that authorizes such surveillance in June, they did succeed in October.

If true, this is a far more explosive matter than whether a Trump aide may have told the Russians, “You’re doing a great job!” when WikiLeaks blew DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz out of her job for tilting the playing field against Bernie Sanders in the primaries.

What needs to be done now?

The White House should tell the Justice Department to tell the FBI to expedite its investigation and file a report on what was done by the Russians. And if any Trump campaign official criminally colluded with the Russians, send the recommendation to indict to Justice.

The acting attorney general should instruct Director James Comey to run down, remove and recommend for prosecution any FBI or intel agent who has leaked the fruits of their investigation, or fake news, to the media. If Comey cannot find the source of the leaks, or lies, coming out of this investigation, a housecleaning may be needed at the bureau.

While President Obama may not have ordered any surveillance of Trump or his advisors, the real question is whether he or Attorney General Loretta Lynch were aware of or approved of any surveillance of Trump and his staff during the campaign.

Russian hacking of the DNC is a problem, not a scandal. The scandal is this: Who inside the government of the United States is trying to discredit, damage or destroy the President of the United States?

For these are the real subversives.

Would the kind people please stand up?

BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist

I’m missing people.

In recent years I have eulogized my wife’s father’s funeral as well as her mother’s funeral this past January. This weekend I will do the funeral service for my mother-in law-from my first marriage. My first wife died in 2002.

My mother and father have passed on, along with all of my aunts and uncles, with the exception of one living aunt -Lucille. This reminds me that I hope to see her at the family reunion in May. Recently my sister’s daughter who lived beside my Kentucky home passed, after a lifelong battle with diabetes, at the age of 53.

One of my dear friends died a couple of years ago from cancer and another dear friend is apparently suffering from dementia and unable to communicate much anymore. I miss laughing with these guys.

I keep trying to make new friends. However it seems like my old friends are dying off quicker than I can make new friends.

I miss my childhood pastor who used to brag on me and always had a good word.

I missed an old paper editor

who brought me into the fold and mentored my writing.

Of course they are both dead now.

I miss my high school basketball coach who was a star player himself. He was so gifted at cussing us out at halftime and telling us everything we had done with the basketball except actually playing with it. He also knew how to extend a compliment, encourage and point out the good that he saw in others and me. I miss that guy.

When I go to my old home church the people I see now are a handful of people who are about my age. There is the exception of Mug and Ilene. They seemed like old people when I was a kid and the last time I was in church on a Wednesday night they were there in attendance.

Ilene used to pick me up for church and Mug did some nice things for me as well. I hope I see them for a long, long time.

And then there is Miss Southard. I was her pastor fifteen years ago. My wife and I go to see her ever couple of months. She is filled with vigor and personality. At the age of 95 she still drives, gardens and greets at church. She is independent and has lived in her home for

the last fifty or so years. She is filled with gladness and kindness. She never misses a beat to embrace us. Love us and say good things to us both.

We were driving from Baltimore, Maryland to Charleston, West Virginia today and we were somewhat amazed by our drive. One guy made a point of pulling in front of us and slamming on his brakes.

I guess we hadn’t been driving fast enough in the fast lane for him but 76 mph was more than we should have been going. Another guy was coming up the exit ramp and I couldn’t pull over to give him all the room he wanted so he just started honking and giving me the finger.

This reminded me of my five mile stretch of highway that I drive a lot in Indiana where I get the finger a couple of times a week from our kind motorists in our beloved Hoosier state.

Sadly kindness is just not in vogue today it seems and I don’t like it. I still can’t believe that elected political people did not have the decency and human kindness to stand up for the widow of slain Navy Seal Carryn Owens at President Trump’s address to Congress on February 28. Regardless of

your politics and however you view Trump’s reasoning there should be respect for the slain Navy Seal, Ryan Owens, his widow Carryn Owens and all those who serve and have served.

A lot of leadership people today are teaching us how to act and live. More and more it’s all about trash talk, rude comments and crude behavior toward others. If we want kids across America to show some respect to each other and demonstrate kindness to others then it must be jumpstarted anew and afresh by the big people who are seen and heard throughout our country.

I miss a lot of people from days of old who have passed on. I am especially missing those who knew and understood kindness and how to treat others. So is most of America. I know there are millions of kind people still in America. They just need to stand up.

International Women’s Day grounded in equality In the book “Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics” writer, feminist, and social activist bell hooks writes, “If any female feels she need anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency.” The same could also be said of males as well; after all, feminism is firmly fixed in the desire for equality within gender roles for all sexes, not just females.

As Gloria Steinem affirmed, “A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”

Of course, women are more culturally conditioned to seek validation and to accept less than men in various facets of life, including the home, the workplace, the military, and politics. Celebrated this week on Wednesday, International Women’s Day intends to acknowledge the integral roles of women in society.

Rooted in the 1908 strike of the International Ladies Garment Worker’s Union, the celebration was organized by the

Socialist Party of America in 1909 in remembrance of the event. In 1913, Russian women the first Stacy observed such celebration Jones on the last SatThe urday in FebruDowntowner ary. In 1914, the day was changed to March 8. Leon Trotsky, a Marxist theorist and revolutionary, wrote, “23 February (8th March) was International Woman’s Day and meetings and actions were foreseen. But we did not imagine that this ‘Women’s Day’ would inaugurate the revolution. Revolutionary actions were foreseen but without date. But in morning, despite the orders to the contrary, textile workers left their work in several factories and sent delegates to ask for support of the strike… which led to mass strike... all went out into the streets.”

Having obtained its origins in communism, the holiday was predominantly honored origi-

nally in communist countries.

It was officially adopted in 1917, following the Soviet Revolution, and in China starting in 1922. In 1975, the United Nations (UN) began celebrating the holiday, and the UN General Assembly petitioned member states in 1977 to declare March 8 as a day to uphold “women’s rights and world peace.”

Each year the celebration takes on a different theme. The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day was “Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030.”

Technology leader Google got into the act by crafting some of their “Doodles,” images and videos that pop up when the search engine page loads, to honor famous women in history. Their selected group included well-known women such as journalist Ida B. Wells, artist Frida Kahlo, and astronaut Sally Ride—along with lesser known successful women such as Miriam Makeba (South African singer and civil rights activist), Ada Lovelace (English mathematician, writer, and the first female

Facing down three hots and a cot

BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist

When I showed Jaybird the pistol, he gave me a withering stare.

“Where’d you git that gun, boy?” the old black man who was my best friend and mentor asked.

“I borrowed it from Dad. Late in the evening, me and my buddies shoot rats at the garbage dump a few miles from the university.”

“If the law catches you with that pistol, you’ll git just what you deserve: three ‘hots’ and a cot.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means you’ll end up in jail, where you’ll git three hot meals a day and a cot to sleep on.”

My promise not to take the pistol to school was a lie. Late in the day, when the rats began their nightly forays, my pals and I would hide behind bushes within pistol range of our victims, the population of which could only be described as swarming hordes.

We took turns shooting and kept score, determined by how many misses we registered, how many clean kills we scored, and how many rats we wounded that escaped, only to become victims of their fellow voracious garbage gastronomes. It was great fun while it lasted, but finally

someone reported us.

As I pulled into the dormitory one Friday night, a policeman searched my car and found the pistol.

Instead of heading out to pick up my girlfriend, I was handcuffed and carted off to jail.

The next morning, I had a visitor — the Dean of Men! “I’ve arranged your release, but you’ll stand trial for unauthorized possession of a firearm. Furthermore, I called your father, and he is absolutely furious.”

Mama’s phone call didn’t help.

“Son,” she wailed, “Your father and I saved for years to pay for your education, and now the Dean informs us that you’ve repaid our efforts by killing rats instead of studying.”

In line with several hardened hoodlums, I entered the courtroom to stand before The Honorable Ruth Runyon, known as “Ruthless Ruth.”

Sitting between Dad and the Dean, I agonized while Ruthless meted out harsh sentences to my predecessors. Then the bailiff called my name.

“Young man,” Judge Runyon intoned in a stentorian voice that, I imagined, had been the death knell of many ne’er-dowells now rotting in the

state penitentiary, “you’re a disgrace to your family, this city, and the university. How do you plead?”

In a barely audible voice I whispered, “Guilty.”

The fine was bad enough — repaying Dad would require a summer of hard work in his Mississippi Delta cotton fields, but the judge saved the double whammy for last.

“The pistol you stole from your father has been confiscated — permanently.”

Dad went livid. That gun was a prized possession, one he brought back from his overseas service in World War II. Outside the courthouse, Dad said to the Dean, “Sir, if you choose to let my son remain at the university, that’s your business, but if I were in your shoes, he’d be facing just what he deserves: three ‘hots’ and a cot.”

CLERK CONTINUED FROM 1A

Inman has served as Justice Court Clerk since Dec. 1, 2003.

Prentiss County Board of Supervisors Attorney Tommy Cadle said Inman was suspended without

pay by the county board of supervisors on Wednesday following her arrest.

She will remain suspended until the legal proceedings are concluded.

The board appointed longtime Deputy Justice Court Clerk Lou Jumper

to serve as interim clerk.

Cadle said operations at the clerk’s office are in good hands and are running normally.

Inman is scheduled to appear again in Prentiss County Circuit Court on March 21.

computer programmer), and Suzanne Lenglen (the French tennis champion credited with popularizing the sport).

This year’s International Women’s Day underscored the importance of women in particular segments of society, especially education. Many women joined in solidarity throughout the U.S. by wearing red, staying home from work, and refusing to spend money in order to exhibit their collective voices.

The Los Angeles Times reported that “‘A Day without a Woman’ for many means a day without school,” a headline of an article that reported how schools across the nation were forced to close because the majority of teachers across America are women.

Teachers who took the day off spent the time marching in organized protests and writing letters to their Congresspersons.

Although the day serves as an important reminder, Jo Angela Edwins, one of my friends and former University of Tennessee at Knoxville colleagues expressed a viable point on social media. She writes, “So,

I’m a woman. I regularly teach women’s literature. I have several women friends, family, and students who impress the heck out of me all the time. What I really would like? A world in which we don’t need to organize [a day] to remind ourselves to treat women with the respect that men receive. But alas, we don’t live in that world yet. May we never lose the hope that allows me to tack the word “yet” onto the previous sentence or the energy to work toward a better reality.”

Her insight is on point.

Likewise, as CEO of Facebook Sheryl Sandberg says, “In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.” Some of us are working diligently and optimistically toward that day.

He believes SB 2939 needs to happen.

“Deciding a way to help improve the state’s roads and bridges and take the burden off the municipalities has been a big focus of mine,” Bain said. “Hopefully this is something we can get put into place.”

The proposal states when state general fund revenue grows more than 2 percent in one year, 50 percent of those dollars beyond the 2 percent growth (up to a max of $100 million) will be

devoted to road and bridge improvement under the same formula.

“It is a starting point in repairing deficient bridges and roads in our state without raising taxes,” added Carpenter. “Now, we need the Senate to concur with this so we can begin the task.”

Sen. Rita Potts Parks (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo, Tippah) said she believes the Senate will want to remove the amended changes.

“We will want to keep it clean and original,” she said.

Senators will get the chance to make changes in conference next week.

Legal challenges to Trump’s travel ban mount

BY MARTHA BELLISLE AND JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press

SEATTLE — Legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban mounted Thursday as Washington state said it would renew its request to block the executive order and a judge granted Oregon’s request to join the case.

The events happened a day after Hawaii launched its own lawsuit, and Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said New York state also asked to join his state’s legal effort.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said the state

is joining fellow states in challenging the revised travel ban.

Washington was the first state to sue over the original ban, which resulted in Judge James Robart in Seattle halting its implementation around the country. Ferguson said the state would ask Robart to rule that his temporary restraining order against the first ban applies to Trump’s revised action.

“My message to President Trump is — not so fast,” Ferguson told reporters. “After spending more than a month to fix a broken order that he rushed out the door, the President’s new order reinstates several of the same provisions and

has the same illegal motivations as the original.”

Robart on Thursday granted Oregon’s request to join Washington and Minnesota in the case opposing the travel ban.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said the executive order has hurt Oregon, its residents, employers, agencies, educational institutions, health care system and economy.

Trump’s revised ban bars new visas for people from six predominantly Muslim countries: Somalia, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya and Yemen. It also temporarily shuts down the U.S. refugee program.

Unlike the initial order, the

new one says current visa holders won’t be affected, and removes language that would give priority to religious minorities.

Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin said that the state could not stay silent on Trump’s travel ban because of Hawaii’s unique culture and history. Hawaii depends heavily on tourism, and the revised ban would hurt the state’s economy, he said.

The courts need to hear “that there’s a state where ethnic diversity is the norm, where people are welcomed with aloha and respect,” Chin said.

He noted that the new travel ban order comes just after the

75th anniversary of the Feb. 19, 1942, executive order by President Franklin Roosevelt that sent Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps during World War II. That order was put in place after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Hawaii had an internment camp.

Ferguson said it’s not the government, but the court, that gets to decide whether the revised order is different enough that it would not be covered by previous temporary restraining order.

“It cannot be a game of whack-a-mole for the court,” he said.

Trump reaches out to ex-rivals Health bill clears big hurdles

BY JILL COLVIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After months rehashing the GOP primary campaign and bragging about his victory, President Donald Trump has begun reaching out to former rivals whose help he now needs.

The latest on his list is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has said he has significant concerns about the health care bill Trump wants Congress to pass.

The president and first lady hosted Cruz and his wife, Heidi, and their two daughters for dinner Wednesday night — a day after Trump had lunch with South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, a onetime challenger.

“It was terrific. It was a social evening we had a very nice evening with the president and the first lady with Heidi and the girls,” Cruz said. He tweeted a photo of his daughters standing next to the president in the Oval Office, and put out this caption: “Our family had dinner w the President & First Lady, who were warm & gracious. Catherine brought Joe — her kindergarten class stuffed giraffe!”

Trump gave Florida Sen. Marco Rubio an Air Force One ride to his home state last week and invited Rubio and his wife for dinner at the White House.

Trump met recently with Gov. John

Kasich, R-Ohio, had Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., and his wife over for Valentine’s Day meatloaf, and had a working lunch with Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis. All those politicians had competed with Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.

The meetings come as Trump continues to make unsupported charges against former President Barack Obama. That’s alienated a potential source of White House guidance as Trump turns his focus toward selling a legislative agenda that he’ll need every possible ally to pass.

It help explains his wooing of exrivals such as Cruz and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, whom Trump has spoken to several times since taking office, said Paul’s spokesman Sergio Gor. But the 2016 GOP campaign was harsh, and that’s led to some awkward interactions.

As a candidate, Trump gave Cruz the nickname ‘Lyin’ Ted,’ questioned the senator’s faith and suggested Cruz’s father may have been involved in John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Trump also went after Cruz’s wife.

Cruz responded by calling Trump “a sniveling coward,” a “pathological liar” and “utterly amoral.” Cruz declined to endorse Trump in his Republican Convention speech.

BY ERICA WERNER AND ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican leaders drove their long-promised legislation to dismantle Barack Obama’s health care law over its first big hurdles in the House on Thursday, claiming fresh momentum despite cries of protest from right, left and center.

After grueling all-night sessions, the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees both approved their portions of the bill along partyline votes. The legislation, strongly supported by President Donald Trump, would eliminate the unpopular tax penalties for the uninsured under the Affordable Care Act, replacing Obama’s law with a conservative blueprint likely to cover far fewer people but — Republicans hope — increase choice.

The vote in Ways and Means came before dawn, while the Energy and Commerce meeting lasted past 27 hours as exhausted lawmakers groped for

coffee refills, clean shirts and showers.

Angry Democrats protested that Republicans were acting in the dead of night to rip insurance coverage from poor Americans. But Republican leaders sounded increasingly confident that, after seven years of empty promises about undoing Obama’s law, they might finally be able to overcome their own deep divisions and deliver a bill to Trump to sign.

“This is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing Obamacare,” Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin said at a press briefing where he arrived in shirt-sleeves to deliver a wonky powerpoint presentation on the GOP bill, part TED Talk and part “Schoolhouse Rock.”

“The time is here. The time is now. This is the moment. And this is the closest this will ever happen,” Ryan said.

Leaders are aiming for passage by the full House in the next couple of weeks, and from there

the legislation would go to the Senate and, they hope, on to Trump’s desk.

The president has promised to sign it, declaring over Twitter on Thursday, “We are talking to many groups and it will end in a beautiful picture!”

Yet at the same time the president is leaving himself a political out, privately telling conservative leaders that if the whole effort fails, Democrats will ultimately shoulder the blame for the problems that remain. That’s according to a participant in the meeting Wednesday who spoke only on condition of anonymity to relay the private discussion.

Democrats reject that notion, and the entire GOP effort.

“What we have seen is the Republicans’ longfeared and job-killing health bill that means less coverage and more cost to American people,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California. “I don’t think the president really knows what he’s talking about.”

“We lost a lifetime of stuff in the fire, but no one was hurt and that was the most important thing,” commented Horton. “We will still have many memories from living here for 23 years and we can replace our things.”

Goodrum said fire departments from Big Hill Pond, Sulphur Springs, Chewalla, Ramer, and Eastview responded to the scene of the fire. The fire chief said firemen stayed on the scene until after 7 a.m.

“I can’t say enough good things about the volunteer firemen that came out in the middle of the night to help us,” said Joe Horton.

Train gets stuck in snow for 13 hours RUGBY, N.D. — An Amtrak passenger train with more than a hundred people on board got stuck for nearly 13 hours in northern North Dakota after a blizzard blocked the tracks with snow.

The eastbound train on the Empire Builder Line between the Pacific Northwest and Chicago was to leave Minot late Tuesday, but it was delayed seven hours by the storm.

“We have reached out to emergency responders only as a precaution,” Marc Magliari, a spokesman for Amtrak in Chicago, said on Wednesday. “BNSF is working to remove the snow that is temporarily preventing us from continuing east, and we appreciate their assistance.”

The train left Minot at about 6 a.m.

Wednesday but got stuck an hour later in a snowbank near Rugby that was 25 feet high and 200 feet long, the Minot Daily News reported.

Two additional train engines were later brought in to try to move the train.

Girl has 6-pound tumor removed NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. — A 12-year-old girl from the West African nation of Gambia is expected to leave the U.S. next week after surgeons successfully removed a 6-pound tumor from her mouth.

Surgeons in New York say the benign tumor in Janet Sylva’s mouth was about the size of a cantaloupe and was one of the largest tumors they’d ever seen.

They say it prevented her from eating and made breathing difficult. They feared Janet would die within a year if nothing was done.

Dr. David Hoffman learned of Janet’s plight after doctors in Senegal reached out to international health groups.

UC sexual offense files released SAN FRANCISCO — An associate UCLA professor who pursued a student until she was

afraid to attend classes paid the university $7,500 in lieu of suspension. At UC Irvine, a dean accused of sexually harassing a coworker agreed to take a demotion and stayed on as a teacher.

And at UC Santa Cruz, a professor accused of sexually assaulting a female student after a wine-tasting trip resigned before he could be fired. The University of California later agreed to pay his accuser $1.15 million.

The cases, among a trove of confidential files released last week

by UC officials, show that the same lack of transparency and lax discipline that critics complained about during a UC Berkeley sexual harassment scandal involving faculty last year also occurred at UC’s nine other campuses.

Lawyer’s pants set ablaze during case MIAMI — A Miami defense attorney is feeling the heat after his pants caught fire Wednesday after he told jurors during arguments in an arson case that his client’s car spontaneously combusted and wasn’t intentionally set.

As he started speaking to the jury, Stephen Gutierrez, 28, said he noticed his pocket began to feel hot.

“When I checked my pocket, I noticed that the heat was coming from a small e-cigarette battery I had in my pocket,” Gutierrez told The Associated Press via email on Thursday afternoon. He said he had two to three of the batteries in his right pocket.

The Miami Herald reported Gutierrez was arguing that his client’s car spontaneously combusted and wasn’t intentionally set on fire.

Gutierrez said he quickly left the courtroom and went to a courthouse bathroom.

“I was able to toss the battery in water after it singed my pocket open,” he said.

Gutierrez said the incident was not staged.

“No one thinks that a battery left in their pocket is somehow going to ‘explode,’” he wrote.

The lawyer ran out of the courtroom and the

judge also had the jurors taken to the jury room.

Parkway closed after rockslide ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Crews in North Carolina are working to clear a rockslide along the Blue Ridge Parkway northeast of Asheville.

The Asheville CitizenTimes reports a rockslide Saturday brought down more than 100 tons of rocks on the parkway just south of the Craggy Gardens Visitors Center.

Contractors hoped to start removing the debris Thursday. They are not sure what damage they will find on the roadway.

Mike Molling is chief of maintenance and engineering for the parkway and says the area between Asheville and Mount Mitchell is one of the most unstable parts of the highway.

Officials don’t know how long the 13-mile stretch between Bull Gap and Craggy Gardens will be closed.

GOP to disolve utility, killing suit DES MOINES, Iowa — For years a utility that supplies drinking water to Iowa’s capital city has spent millions of dollars to rid its water supply of pollutants that run off farm fields upstream.

Finally, exasperated officials filed a lawsuit to force the agricultural counties to clamp down on the runoff.

But the state Legislature, now controlled by Republicans who won big majorities in the November election, has decided to address the issue in a different way.

It’s preparing to dissolve the utility, effectively killing the lawsuit.

GOP lawmakers say the change is meant to allow the cities in the area more direct control of their own water. But supporters of the Des Moines Water Works, an independent utility that has served the region for a century, say the move is a bold show of power by farm interests in a legislature where conservatives now hold sway.

“This is just a smoke screen,” said Bill Stowe, the utility’s CEO. “It’s based on protecting industrial agriculture.”

Fatal wreck calls for safer rail crossings JACKSON — The mayor of the Mississippi city where a train slammed into a bus, killing four Texas tourists, says he will keep working with the railroad to close some crossings and make others safer.

Biloxi Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich said Wednesday that he will use recommendations from CSX Transportation to minimize the chances of another fatal wreck.

The city had already scheduled a hearing March 21 to discuss closing six railroad crossings when the CSX freight train hit the bus after it got stuck on the tracks Tuesday. The Main Street crossing where the wreck occurred, however, is not on the list.

National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said the crossing has a hump that has caused tractortrailers to bottom out, and the federal agency is looking into whether the steep grade played a role in Tuesday’s crash.

The crossing has had at least 17 accidents involving vehicles and trains since 1976. At least two people had died there before Tuesday, including a Biloxi city councilman struck by a train in 1983.

Voters OK higher taxes for bond SUMMIT — Voters in the North Pike school district say they’re ready to raise taxes to finance $11.25 million in school improvements.

The Enterprise-Journal reports 64 percent of voters favored the bond issue Tuesday, above the 60 percent approval required.

The district plans a new building for its fourth and fifth grades, an addition to its high school, an expanded high school band hall and other work.

Superintendent Dennis Penton says the district will now sell bonds and commission architectural plans.

The plan raises taxes by up to $130 on a $100,000 house.

Since 2011, voters in 15 school districts statewide have approved bond issues, while voters in two others rejected

bonds, according to Mississippi Department of Education records. Also Tuesday, Rankin County voters approved a $178 million bond issue.

Ex-deputy gets 40 years for sex crimes PASCAGOULA — A former Jackson County sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to 40 years behind bars after he was convicted of sex crimes against children.

News outlets report 48-year-old Jason McGrath was found guilty Wednesday on four counts of sexual battery and one count of touching of a child for lustful purposes, all while in a position of trust or authority over the victims.

A 9-year-old girl testified that McGrath forced her to perform oral sex on him when she was 3 years old.

Another victim said McGrath raped her in 2014, when she was 13.

McGrath worked at the Sheriff’s Department from 2002 to 2013.

After his release, McGrath will serve 10 years on probation and must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Restaurants plan for water outage JACKSON — Restaurants and other business owners in parts of Jackson and Byram are scrambling to cope with a planned water outage this weekend The state Health Department said Wednesday that 600 restaurants and other businesses have been notified of the planned outage, scheduled to start at 3 p.m. Friday and last until 3 p.m. Sunday. The out-

age is also projected to affect 40,000 homes, and the area is projected to be under a boil-water notice for at least a day after service resumes.

The city is turning off the water to fix a major water line with three breaks.

Restaurants are being asked to limit menu options, serve prepackaged drinks, and have ice shipped in. Those businesses will also need to limit dishwashing by using plastic utensils and paper plates. They will also need to have portable restroom facilities, portable hand-washing stations for customers and especially for the kitchen staff that will be preparing the food.

Officer shoots man after fight started JACKSON — Authorities say a Mississippi police officer shot a man during a fight that broke out after the officer discovered him apparently drunk behind the wheel.

Jackson Police spokeswoman Officer Chelsea Gross says the shooting happened Tuesday evening.

Gross says the officer was responding to a report of a one-vehicle crash when he discovered the man. She says the two began to fight and the officer shot the driver twice in the side.

A knife was found in the truck, but Gross says she doesn’t know if the driver tried to use it.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in serious condition.

Gross did not release the names of either the man or the officer. She says the man was black, but did not release the officer’s race.

All about jobs Payroll processor ADP releases today its latest survey of hiring by private U.S. companies.

The January survey showed that companies ramped up hiring, adding the most new workers since June. The hiring was widespread, with the construction, manufacturing, health care and shipping industries all adding jobs at a solid pace. Economists predict that ADP’s job survey for February will show the pace of hiring slowed last month.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Features on Lisa Leach, Paxton Hinton and Huntsville, Ala., plus spring fashions, family time and a column by Josh Webb. This and more in Crossroads Magazine - Family edition coming out on Saturday, March 25.

Woman’s younger boyfriend hides her from his family DEAR ABBY: I’m 51 and my boyfriend is 43.

We’ve been dating for eight months, living together for five.

We met at work a few months before we started dating.

We get along great and never argue, but he won’t let me meet his family.

He has never been married and has no children.

Abigail He sees mom Van Buren his and brother Dear Abby sometimes for dinner and such, but because his mom doesn’t have any grandchildren and I can’t give her any, he said he’s not ready to tell her about me.

Does this make sense? -OUTSIDER IN LOUISIANA DEAR OUTSIDER: If, after eight months of dating and living together for five, you still haven’t met his family, he has no intention of introducing you -- ever.

Your inability to give his mother grandchildren has nothing to do with it. You are a human being, not a broodmare, and the excuse he’s giving you makes no sense. Picture this scenario:

“Hey, Ma, this is ‘Becky’ and she’s fertile!” Puh-leeze!

DEAR ABBY: My sister, who is very religious, sent my gay daughter a Bible with her name engraved on it for Christmas, even though we told her -- after she asked for suggestions -- that a gift card would be more appropriate.

We are not religious, by the way.

My wife and I feel strange about it, as if my sister is trying to tell us something like, “Your gay daughter needs religion.”

How should we respond to this?

-- BAFFLED IN THE EAST DEAR BAFFLED: You do not have to respond.

The Bible was a gift for your daughter, and the “privilege” of acknowledging it, ignoring it or regifting it is hers. What I do not recommend is allowing your sister’s gift choice to become an argument about your family’s values.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve recently rekindled an old romance with a wonderful guy.

Only one thing mars our relationship. When we go out to eat, we don’t carry on a conversation past occasional chitchat.

The problem may be that while he’s a speedy eater, I’m slow. I

feel bad about not being able to talk and chew fast enough to keep up, so he finishes well before me and ends up waiting quite a while until I polish off my meal.

Can you offer any suggestions on how to come to a compromise where dinner isn’t a race to the finish line, but an experience full of laughter and discussion?

-- SLOWER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR SLOWER: Yes, but it may involve making the meal even longer.

If there’s a topic you would like to explore with him, put down your fork, swallow your food and speak up.

In Europe it’s common for people to linger over their meal and communicate with each other.

This practice not only fosters deeper relationships, but there are also health benefits to eating slowly.

Because you’re a couple, you should feel comfortable enough to ask him to slow down so your conversation can flow more easily.

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 is common among the superstitious to, when on a lucky streak, disallow any change of behavior. And even if you’re not superstitious, it’s logical to take this approach: Whatever worked, keeping working it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Don’t plan the minutiae; plan the broad strokes so you’re free to improvise between the lines.

This will keep you from boxing yourself into a future that is smaller than it could have been -- or, worse, overly influenced by others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Love isn’t always magical and exciting. Furthermore, a partner doesn’t have to be perfect to be perfect for you. You’ll gladly trade the lightning bolts and fireworks for mutual support that you can trust for the long haul.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

People acting out of a sense of duty do not expect to be appreciated as you appreciate them, but this will be a nice perk to their jobs and one of the many ways you make the world better

by just being you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This day is for practicing and getting good at your craft. It starts with you, alone in a room, repeating the motions, honing your skill. Then you get to summon your courage and test what you know by sharing it more widely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll set out with the best of intentions and very little control over environmental factors and other circumstances. There will be something awesome about absolutely any place you wind up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Just because you think it, hear it, see it or feel it doesn’t make it true. Use doubt as an instrument to question your own thoughts, and you will save yourself from the inconvenience and drama that comes from making incorrect assumptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll have more confidence going into an endeavor if you allow for every possible outcome in your mind, including dismal failure or wild success. Deem

it all acceptable and, suddenly, you’re fearless.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Before the high-pressure situation of the day (and there will be one), go be alone; breathe; get centered; calm your mind to as close to nothingness as you can get.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Get the tedious stuff over and done as soon as possible.

The work may stay at a fun level of zero, but the freedom you’ll feel when it’s complete is the first ingredient for the level-10 fun that follows.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even when you’re not trying to reach out and connect with people, you accidentally start up excellent relationships.

It’s a function of your curious mind and unassuming charm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Should you invest your attention and money in tiny details (like you want to)? There’s no reason not to yield to the temptation. Your belief that the beauty of life is in little things mirrors the beliefs of many artists before you.

Kossuth tops Central in opener

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Division 1-3A and county rivals Kossuth and Alcorn Central faced off for the first time this season and the Aggies took round 1.

Kossuth 4 Alcorn Central 1 The Aggies and Bears combined for a mere five hits as ace pitchers Nik Wilcher and Tate Perriman dueled on a balmy Thursday night at Aggie Field.

The turning point in the contest came in the third inning when Central comitted an error in the field and Kossuth connected on a pair of key hits to score a pair of runs that would turn out to be all the Aggies would need.

Avery Smith added a sixth-inning homer for Kossuth, sending a moon-shot

far beyond the rightfield wall to maike it 4-0.

Needing four runs to extend the game entering the bottom of the seventh, Central’s Chase Shaw reached first on a four-pitch walk by Wilcher. He then stole second and scored on a single through the hole between first and second by Alex Williams.

But that was all the Bears could manage as Wilcher ended the game with a strikeout.

HS Basketball Pine Grove 47 Leake County 27 The Lady Panthers won their first gold ball in 31 years Thursday afternoon at the Big House in Jackson as they dominated Leake County and won the Division 1-1A title going away.

Haley Vick led the way

with a game-high 16 for Pine Grove while Taylor Fletcher added 14.

Head coach Katie Bates won a state title most recently at Ripley High School in 2011 before accepting the job of restoring the pride of Lady Panther basketball.

Pine Grove finished their championship season at 30-6.

Kossuth Dandy Dozen selection Nik Wilcher is held on first base by Alcorn Central first baseman Kade Parker in Thursday night’s Division 1-3A opener at Aggie Field. Kossuth took advantage of an AC error and a pair of key base hits in the third inning and a home run in the sixth by Avery Smith to claim a 4-1 win.

Alabama runs away from Mississippi State Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — How Alabama scores matters as much as how many, and coach Avery Johnson likes the progress he’s seeing in both areas.

Defense also factored into opportunities resulting in a thorough Southeastern Conference Tournament victory for the Crimson Tide.

Dazon Ingram scored

17 points, Corbin Collins added 14 and Alabama shot well throughout to roll past Mississippi State 75-55 on Thursday.

The fifth-seeded Crimson Tide had it easy in its tournament opener, leading by as many as 30 with eight minutes remaining against a Bulldogs squad playing its second SEC contest in 24 hours.

Alabama’s sharpness in many facets created that clear path as it made 25 of 53 from the field (47 percent) and committed just nine turnovers for its most decisive win since drilling LSU 90-72 last month.

“Pretty good performance for us on both ends of the floor,” said Johnson, whose team swept all three games from the Bulldogs.

“We’ve been a pretty consistent defensive team all year.”

“Fortunately, tonight we had little bit of a combined effort both on the defensive and the offensive ends.”

“We got off to a good start.

We thought we set a great tune for type of pace we wanted the play this game, and fortunately some shots went down for us.”

The Corinth/Alcorn County Parks and Recreation Department hosted its first USSSA baseball tournament this past weekend.

Twenty seven teams from Mississippi and Tennessee were in town and in action in the three day event that ran Friday thru Sunday with seven age groups. The tour-

nament was played on the Jesse Bynum Field as well as the four new fields at the new complex on Droke Road.

With over 1,700 spectators and the players and coaches from the 27 teams that participated, the total attendance was estimated at nearly 2,200, making it a huge success.

Park director Ray Holloway, along with USSSA tour-

nament director Clay Richey were both extremely pleased with the turnout of teams and supporters.

“It was a great weekend,” said Holloway.”From the coaches to the players to the fans and all the staff that was involved in running concessions and all other facets, everything went off without a hitch and ran very smoothly.”

“And to top that the teams

got to experience three seasons in three days: from warm sunshine to rainy and windy to flat out cold. It was definitely interesting but highly successful.”

Local squad Kenny’s Cardinals, who had teams entered in both the seven and eightyear old groups fared well, winning the seven-year old Please see SUCCESS | 11A

division and placing second in the eight-year old division.

Two more local teams won their respective divisions. The Corinth Cubs topped the field in the nine year-old division while The Zone took top honors in the 12-year old division.

The Zone won a crowded divison with seven teams in competition.

Head coach Derek Smith and assistant coach Riley Mask engineered a team that gave up only seven

runs the entire tournament.

According to Holloway, Corinth and Alcorn County residents can get geared up for even bigger tournaments in the coming few months, including four state tournaments in diï¬&#x20AC;erent age groups and from varying name organizations.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a full lineup of league play starting later this month. Everyone in the community has much to be proud of and look forward to with the new park complex addition.

Looking into the past shouldn’t happen in Christ For many of us that are getting on up in age, we sometimes sit around and reminisce about the good old days. For me, on occasions, I will wonder if I Gary had taken Andrews a different road in Devotionals life where would I be today. Don’t get me wrong, I am totally happy at where I am and where I have been. The Lord has truly blessed me and my family.

Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday – Philippians 3:12-16; Monday –Ecclesiastes 7:10; Tuesday -1 Timothy 4:9-16; Wednesday – Job 10:8-12; Thursday – James 1:2225; Friday – Genesis 19:26; Saturday – Luke 9:59-62.

Remembering the days of my youth and being desirous of playing sports professionally, I often wonder what could have been had I applied my-

self more to what I really wanted to do at that time of my life? I remember having the ability to do anything I wanted to do, but it was the concentration and fortitude that I lacked.

Being easily distracted and not wanting to put in the time and effort brought me to a different road in life. When I played baseball in junior college I had the mindset that ballplayers would be taken care of academically and was I ever wrong. I now realize that life is not easy and you have to work at what you get.

I have no regrets of

what I have done or where I have gone but I will say the best thing I ever did was to accept and follow Jesus at an early age.

What I was lacking in wisdom and strength in my earlier days, He led me and guided me to a good, Christian wife, four tremendous children, and a workplace full of excitement.

All of us need to remember what the gospel of Luke tells us in chapter 9, verse 62: “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

This verse tells me I am where God wants me to be. I can sit and remember the days of my younger years and say, “What if?” all I want, but as a child of God, I am where He wants me to be.

Has the road always been rosy? No. Will there ever be a satisfied me in what I am doing or where I am going? Yes. Do I miss the good old days? Only when I am daydreaming.

I believe it’s okay to remember where we have been but we should never want to go back to those days. As a God-fearing, Bible believing, born again Christian, I know

where my future is and my past is gone.

As a plowman and we look back, we cut a crooked furrow. All of us need to look straight ahead and follow the narrow road Jesus has paved for us.

Prayer: Lord, guide me in the direction you want me to go. Thank you for the memories of the past but I know my future is an eternal life with you.

Amen.

Going green in 2017 matters to everyone Readers have probably heard the story about the older woman’s encounter with a young grocery store clerk who was promoting the reusable “green bags,” but it’s worth thinking about again.

Lora Ann When Huff the clerk advised Back Porch the lady to start bringing her own bags for grocery sacking since plastic is not good for the environment, the woman replied that in her younger days she didn’t have the “green things.”

She went on to explain what she did have: “Back then we returned milk bottles and soda bottles to the store.

The store sent them back to the plant to be washed, sterilized, and refilled, so they could be used over and over.

They were really recycled!

“We walked up the stairs because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building.

We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

“Back then we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up electricity – wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got handme-down clothes from their brothers, sisters, or cousins, not always brand-new clothing.

“Back then we had one TV or radio in the house, if we were lucky - not one in every room. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric mixers to do everything for us.

“When we packaged fragile items to send in the mail, we used an old wadded-up newspaper for cushioning, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

When the clerk advised the lady to start bringing her own bags for grocery sacking since plastic is not good for the environment, the woman replied that in her younger days she didn’t have the “green things.”

“We didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on an electric treadmill.

“We drank from a water fountain in public places

or a dipper and water bucket at home instead of using water from plastic bottles.

“We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

“We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.

We didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

“No, back then we didn’t have the ‘green thing.’

Guess we didn’t need it.”

I’ll bet readers over age fifty can agree with the older shopper, and I imagine you can even add several other things to the list.

It’s hard to believe how many things have changed just in my 45 years of marriage, and

Be careful, don’t spread germs WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: We have an “open office” format, so during cold and flu season, we’re pretty much always passing around something or other.

My co-worker “Dana” keeps getting sick with colds, the flu, sinus infections, etc., and I’ve noticed that Dana seems to be patient zero for the rest of us.

She comes in with the sniffles, and a week later, we’re all dropping like flies.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that she doesn’t wash her hands after using the restroom at work.

I’ve also seen her sneeze into her hands.

She uses hand sanitizer at her desk, but I don’t see how that can get rid of all the germs properly. I’m so grossed out.

I want to say something to her, but I don’t want to sound judgmental. Is there any tactful way to encourage her to be more hygienic and more careful about not spreading germs?

Or should I just start wearing surgical masks?

I’d appreciate some help here. — Sanitizing My Desk Dear Sanitizing: There are some solutions short of wearing a hazmat suit to work.

For one, talk to someone in your human resources department.

Dear Annie If people are constantly out sick, it’s no good for your employer’s bottom line. The company should promote workplace cleanliness and employee health, perhaps by sending out a companywide memo with tips on how not to spread illness.

If Dana keeps up her germ-factory ways, I do not think it would be out of line for you to talk to her privately. Perhaps lead in by giving her the benefit of the doubt. Say, for example, “I’ve noticed you often use hand sanitizer at your desk.

I didn’t know this myself until recently, but that doesn’t actually eliminate a lot of the germs.”

Though you really shouldn’t have to tell her how to properly wash her hands, it wouldn’t hurt to mention that she should use clean running water and lather, scrub and rinse her hands thoroughly. With any luck, you’ll be able to wash your hands of this situation.

Dear Annie: “Slapped in the Face” wrote to you about how her husband had wanted her to meet his new sweetie.

You told her that he must be “miserable” to try to bring her down that way, because “the happier a person is the more he or she wants others to be happy.”

He isn’t necessarily “miserable.”

He’s probably just egotistical, self-centered and clueless.

My ex wanted me and the children to congratulate him on the wonderful new life he was going to have and was actually surprised and angry when we didn’t.

Though “Slapped” won’t believe it yet, she’s the one who will have the wonderful new life she can’t imagine now.

She’s learning something valuable about herself.

Meanwhile, he’s going to make the same old mistakes because he won’t have to learn. — Burlington, Vt. Dear Burlington: Congratulations on the fact that your louse of an ex is no longer in your life.

“Slapped” is indeed better off, too.
