If you have a hobby or a skill, then you may have something valuable to contribute to a new generation.

This week is National Volunteer Week and Mississippi State University Extension Agent II Tammy Parker said many people have valuable knowledge and experience to offer young people as a 4-H volunteer.

The MSU Extension Center celebrates National Volunteer Week and hopes the spirit of volunteerism will aid in the recruitment of much needed volunteers for the area 4-H. Modern lives are extremely busy and volunteerism is not as prevalent as it used to be, according to Parker. However, being a volunteer for 4-H doesn’t have to require a large commitment.

“Volunteering is based on the time you want to give. It’s not that you’re required to volunteer five hours a week, it’s what you’re willing to give,” said Parker. “You can come and do one program or you can assist a volunteer leader of the club.”

4-H volunteers are making a difference in the lives of young people ages 5-19. The club emphasizes the potential of youth by providing non-formal educational opportunities, which

Yellow Creek Port Executive Director Robert Dexter shakes hands with Kiwanis President Zane Elliott after Dexter’s update on Yellow Creek Port.

To keep economic momentum going for Yellow Creek Port South in Burnsville, there will be a need for regional partnership in getting water to Burnsville.

In a presentation before the Kiwanis Club, Yellow Creek Port Executive Director Robert Dexter provided a history of Yellow Creek Port and spoke of what needed to be done to keep moving forward in regard to the port in Burnsville.

Legion celebrates Vietnam veterans

Anne Thompson, Corinth Although Corinth native Anne Thompson is retired, she hasn’t stopped teaching or helping her hometown through tutoring at the Lighthouse Foundation and volunteering at the Free Clinic. She also teaches Sunday School where she attends at First Baptist Church. Before retirement, Thompson taught school for 28 years. She also managed the Interim Civil War Interpretive Center and worked for the Tourism Office for several years, which she said she loved and it played to her marketing background. “I loved selling my hometown and telling its stories.

That was a fun thing to do,” she said.

Thompson shows no sign of slowing down in her efforts to help others. A little girl yelled, “I love you Miss Anne!” as she left the Lighthouse Foundation.

Thompson smiled and said, “Isn’t that precious? If that doesn’t melt your heart, then you just don’t have one.”

“We can’t do enough for them because of the way they were treated when they came back,” said Bobby McDaniel, American Legion spokesperson. “We invite all Vietnam veterans and their families.”

April 30 has been set aside as Vietnam Veteran’s Recognition Day in Mississippi, thanks to a resolution presented by Rep. Bubba Carpenter (R-Burnsville) in 2011. April 30 was the last day for American troops in Vietnam in 1975.

‘Miss Pat’ nears end of 47th year at school (EDITOR’S NOTE: This story

by Assistant Editor Steve Beavers first appeared in the Independent Appeal. It is being reprinted with permission.)

RAMER, Tenn. — Pat McMahan would be miserable away from her job at Ramer School.

The 1965 Ramer High School graduate has been a fixture on the campus most of her life.

“This is more than a job,” said the McMahan. “It’s part of my life and if I didn’t love the job so much, I would have already retired.”

The secretary will complete her 47th year at RES when another school year ends in May. The 71-year-old doesn’t plan on stepping away from what she loves anytime soon.

“What I love about this job is I have never dreaded coming to

work,” said McMahan. “I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t have my job.”

“Miss Pat” – as she is known by students – didn’t have to apply for the position she started in 1970. It took only a call from former principal James Boucher to see if she was interested.

“I always thought I would love it,” said McMahan, who took over when former secretary Glenda Armstrong took another job.

Since taking the job in 1970, McMahan has served under principals Boucher, Walter Daly, Alan Phillips, Freddie Moore, Joe Horton, Rusty Petty and Sondra Kiser.

“She is a wealth of information because she knows everyone,” said current Ramer principal Kiser. “I don’t know

what I would do without her ... she makes my life a whole lot easier.”

McMahan – the mother of Sherry and Van McMahan – has held many titles through the years at Ramer. She was the bookkeeper, paid the bills, took up money in the cafeteria and was the school’s unofficial nurse. McMahan even was known to carry students to home if they missed the bus or didn’t have a ride.

“She has been a mother, sister and aunt to a lot of kids,” said custodian Perry Davis.

That’s just fine with McMahan.

“I enjoy the kids,” she said. “I don’t see them as teachers do ... they are always so sweet in my eyes.”

The love of children is what kept her from taking a posi-

tion with the McNairy County Superintendent’s Office several years ago.

“I said no thanks,” said McMahan. “I had 400 kids that he didn’t have.”

McMahan was married to Douglas “Slick” McMahan for 52 years before he passed away in 2014.

“This school is my comfort zone,” she said. “It has got me through many difficult times.”

Jennifer Smith, an aide at the school, has worked along side McMahan for 16 years.

“The school wouldn’t run without her,” said Smith. “Pat has a huge heart and she never forgets a kid who comes through here.”

School life has changed over the years, according to Ramer’s jack-of-all-trades.

Full agenda not set for special session

Staff photos by Jebb Johnston

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin presents a framed resolution from the City of Corinth to Northeast Regional Library Executive Director William McMullin Tuesday afternoon during a retirement reception for McMullin. Also shown are incoming regional director Dee Hare and City Clerk Vickie Roach. Many wellwishers filled the library auditorium to honor McMullin. “I have tried to talk him out of retiring,” said Irwin. “William is one of the great people in our community.” The resolution commends his “dedication, diligence and extraordinary service.”

“The deterioration of the family is the worst thing I have seen,” she said. “We never used to be involved in custody cases like we are now.”

When away from school, the grandmother of six enjoys reading and coloring for adults.

“Coloring is the most relaxing thing I have done,” said McMahan.

McMahan’s intent was to surpass the number of years former Ramer High School Principal L.C. Vaughn spent at the school. Vaughn was principal for 40 years, serving from 1927 until his death in 1967.

“You never know what the future holds,” she said. “Ramer is a special place to me and I plan to be here until I am physically unable ... life wouldn’t be the same if I retired.”

JACKSON — A top Democrat is calling on Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant to expand the list of topics for a special legislative session, but the governor’s spokesman says the budget remains the only agenda item for now.

Bryant on Tuesday announced that a special session will begin June 5 so lawmakers can set budgets for the attorney general’s office and the Department of Transportation. Only the governor can call lawmakers back to the Capitol after they have finished their regular session, and he tells legislators what topics they may consider.

The House Democratic Caucus chairman, Rep. David Baria of Bay St. Louis, said Wednesday that he wants the governor to let lawmakers consider criminal justice issues that were in a bill

News outlets report a Chancery Court judge issued the order Tuesday.

The request claims the Oxford T-Shirt Co. has committed trademark infringement by selling Double Decker items. The order states it was granted to prevent irreparable injury to the city because of the likelihood officials would prevail in their claim.

“We’re draining the City of Burnsville dry in all their tanks. If there are any hiccups, we shut down the City of Burnsville,” said Dexter.

He pointed out the investment of money and time already put into Yellow Creek Port and how well it is expanding. Last June, fabrication manufacturer BMSI Inc. an-

nounced plans to locate in an existing building at Yellow Creek Port in Burnsville — a development which is expected to create 100 new jobs this year.

However, the necessity to continue expansion includes the need for water and infrastructure.

A partnership is in the works with the City of Corinth, the City of Burnsville and Yellow Creek Port South to run a line from the Glen station, said Dexter.

Located approximately six miles west of Corinth in the Glen community, the Clifford G. Worsham Surface Water Treatment Facility has a rated capacity to produce 10 million gallons of potable water a day — enough to supply Corinth, Alcorn County and portions of the surrounding region.

In 2017 and early plans for 2018, the executive director said there are other proposed capital improvements including new signage, access road extensions, equipment purchases, expansion of the port, building construction and a capital improvement referred to as “Project Float,” which he hoped to announce next week. The total plans for capital improvements total $42 million.

In his closing remarks, Dexter said that it matters what happens in the surrounding counties and jobs in Burnsville “equates to jobs in Alcorn County.”

“We need this area to do well so we all can benefit,” he said.

County cleans up after tornado

Today in History

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

Today is Thursday, April 27, the 117th day of 2017. There are 248 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 27, 1967, Canada’s Universal and International Exhibition, also known as “Expo 67,” began a six-month run as it was officially opened in Montreal by Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson.

On this date In 1509, Pope Julius II excommunicated the Republic of Venice for refusing to give up lands claimed by the Papal States. (The pope lifted the interdict in Feb. 1510.)

In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed by natives in the Philippines.

In 1777, the only land battle in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Ridgefield, resulted in a limited British victory.

In 1822, the 18th president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio.

In 1865, the steamer Sultana, carrying freed Union prisoners of war, exploded on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee; death toll estimates vary from 1,500 to 2,000.

In 1925, the song “Yes, Sir! That’s My Baby” by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn was published by Irving Berlin, Inc. of New York.

A tornado tore a spotty path across Prentiss County on Saturday afternoon, damaging homes, uprooting trees and leaving almost 4,000 people in the dark.

The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF1 tornado with peak winds of 90 mph struck the county on a path moving northwest to southeast including areas around Hobo Station, New Site and the surrounding areas beginning approximately 4.1 miles east of Wheeler and ending approximately 1.5 miles west of New Site.

“The tornado damage was spotty and intermittent along the path,” said a statement released by the NWS. Prentiss County Emergency Management Director Bud Lindsey said the tornado struck in spots, moving up and down along its path.

Straight-line winds also caused damage in several areas.

Lindsey said a mobile home on County Road 5091 was severely damaged and at least seven other homes sustained

damage from falling trees. There were also numerous reports of downed trees blocking roads and wind damage to homes and structures.

One person was transported to the hospital after falling while seeking shelter in a basement.

The emergency manager said the Red Cross responded to help the family displaced by the damage to their mobile

home. All of the county’s volunteer fire departments, the Mississippi Department of Transportation and the county supervisors crews worked through the evening clearing away trees and other debris.

The storm caused major damage to the county’s power grid as well.

Prentiss County Electric Power Association Manager Ronny Rowland said

3,997 customers lost power in the immediate aftermath of the storm. He noted rain from storms on Friday evening softened the ground, causing some trees to be more vulnerable to falling.

He said they called all of their workers in immediately, with workers coming in from various areas on the weekend including one who drove back from Pickwick to

Lightning had damaged the main line along County Road 7100 to Dry Creek. There were also lines damaged in Lake Mohawk and along Meadow Creek Road and Quail Ridge. A very large oak tree landed on the main line just across the Highway 30 bypass on Creasey Road. Four men worked several hours to remove that tree and repair lines in that area.

A mainline pole was also broke in the Hills Chapel area, along with smaller trees and debris in the area along Highway 30 and Highway 4 toward Hobo station.

All customers were restored by around 11:30 p.m.

Rowland said his wife, Diane, came into the office to help answer calls so he and Robert Dodson could take more calls and direct crews to the trouble areas. He said they also received help and offers of help from numerous people in the community and expressed appreciation for the patience shown by residents and for the hard work of all of their workers in getting the power back on.

Corinth, Miss.

Kat and Mahalia and Blind Riley and me PASS CHRISTIAN — I tap along the brick floors that sold me on this old house, so opposite of the spongy ones in my North Mississippi hollow home, these never subject to rot, maintenance-free.

Rheta My shoe soles have each capJohnson tured a shell from the driveway and make a nice rhythColumnist mic sound as I walk.

I wish I could tap dance, yet another thing to try in old age.

The weather is hotter every day, and the sunbathers have arrived on the sand and Sound a few blocks away. Time to return to the hollow, which I’ve considered most like home the past 30 years.

I’m ready, and I’m not, the way it always is. I will miss the openness of the people here, who don’t care that your great-grandmother is not a native and that you’re not wearing makeup. I will miss the music and the fresh seafood and the salt air.

I will miss people like Kat Fitzpatrick, who just this morning served me pistachio cake and coffee on her new freestanding screened porch, and pointed out a woodpecker that merrily drills on metal roofs, then let me rummage through her art studio.

I left with two of her encaustic paintings -- she uses pigmented beeswax in the process, which is what the fancy word means -one of which I’ve been lusting for since she did an art show with paintings that featured her musical heroes.

I already had her Hank Willliams; it hangs in a prominent spot in a room here.

But I also had seen her painting of Mahalia Jackson as a young woman and thought it amazing. By the time I got around to asking, Mahalia was hanging in a Tupelo gallery.

But Mahalia came home to Bay St. Louis.

My timing was good. Right now, Mahalia, who could outsing an angel on speed, is sitting atop an old upright piano a man sold me for $1.

The other art from the morning excursion is a portrait of Blind Riley Puckett, the first recorded yodeler. Kat, who has a fine singing voice, said she’s been trying to perfect a yodel for years.

Blind Riley will be headed to Florida, where a former editor of mine lives. George is forever sending me obscure roots-music recordings, and I suspect the gift of Blind Riley will be right up his alley.

I live an enchanted life, richer than I deserve. I’ve never made a lot of money and spend what I make as soon as I get it. I don’t care about clothes and cars, but I’m a spendthrift when it comes to art and music and books. And, I know interesting people.

I look around at this little A-frame that four years ago was a for-sale-by-owner bargain. I had planned to keep it open, airy and clutter-free, mostly for the practicality of clearing out in case of another Katrina.

But slowly, or not so, it has filled with treasures, mostly art and pottery from an abundant local supply. This seashore is a regular jubilee of creativity, and I’m lucky enough to have become acquainted with many of the inspired.

As I pack for the drive to a cooler clime, back to my beloved hollow, I can’t help but contort a prayer from childhood: If I should die before I wake, I pray the niece my art will take.

Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@ aol.com.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, thou hast made my life dear; forgive me if I have made dearer the things that I have put around it. Many days have been used for costly things that have faded and are laid aside. May I realize the meaning of days that have been lost. Make me more concerned for what I put in the days to come. Amen.

A verse to share To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit. — Jonah 2:6

Wicker will be a very different opponent STARKVILLE — Much has been made of late of potential 2018 challengers to Mississippi’s junior Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo.

That traces back to the 2014 re-election campaign of the state’s senior U.S. senator, Thad Cochran.

Despite the vast power of incumbency, Cochran faced the political battle of his life and barely survived a GOP primary challenger that saw him retain his seat by a bare by a mere 7,723 votes in a GOP second primary.

That 2014 race saw more than $22 million spent chasing a seat that most believed a year earlier would be a shoe-in for Cochran.

Yet when the race was run, the contest between incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, GOP primary challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel of Ellisville, and Democratic nominee former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers of Booneville, pursuit of a Mississippi seat in the U.S. Senate has cost well over $22 million.

According to the nonpartisan website, the Mississippi Senate race attracted more than $10.47 million in combined official campaign committee fundraising by the candidates — with over $6.7 million spent for the Cochran campaign and over $3.18 million spent by the

McDaniel campaign.

The Childers campaign spent a rep o r t e d $366,402.

Sid Salter But outside spendColumnist ing supporting the candidates accounted for another $2.21 million spent to benefit the Cochran campaign, $3.63 million to benefit the McDaniel campaign and $15,565 to benefit the Childers effort. Also, there was $3.79 million spent by outside groups opposing Cochran, $2.17 million spent by outside groups opposing McDaniel.

In the wake of the divisive 2014 Mississippi Republican U.S. Senate primary, politicos are still debating what it all means and what possible impacts that division might carry forward into Mississippi’s 2015 courthouse to statehouse general elections. The result was that the 2014 race had virtually no legs moving forward into 2015.

But the 2016 presidential election saw Donald Trump turn the Republican Party inside out as he dispatched a battalion of mainstream Republicans along with few who shared McDaniel’s leanings like Ted Cruz.

So, what of the discus-

sions of a possible WickerMcDaniel showdown in 2018?

Two things in particular will distinguish 2014 from 2018.

First, the likelihood of McDaniel attracting the unprecedented levels of outside spending in a 2018 race that he did in 2014 is very small. The country’s political landscape is very different today than it was in 2014.

Second, Wicker is simply a different kind of incumbent than is Sen. Thad Cochran. Cochran went from political novice to the U.S. House and from there to the U.S. Senate. He background was not formed in roughand-tumble local politics.

Wicker has been involved in the close infighting of local political all of his life.

Wicker is more combative by nature than Cochran. He rather enjoys a fight and he fights to win.

He learned about contested races in his father’s judicial races. But more to the point, Wicker learned as a state legislator from north Mississippi how the political process works. Wicker rarely ignores a direct challenge.

In short, it’s a fair assessment to note now that a 2018 challenger to Roger Wicker – who came out of the last election with the

confidence and gratitude of the majority his Republican U.S. Senate colleagues – faces a far different path than did McDaniel against Cochran in 2014.

Wicker is at the top of his game in every aspect.

It will be a very different campaign. But at this early juncture, Wicker can simply await the potential challengers and keep his powder dry while doing the job of representing Mississippi in the Senate.

Those differences aren’t likely to totally heal in a year’s time. But what will be vastly different is the simple fact that the $11.8 million in outside spending — some 53.5 percent of the total campaign finance pie in the U.S. Senate campaign — won’t be there. It’s highly unlikely that groups like Club for Growth and others are going to invest in statehouse campaigns in the manner that they did in a race for one of 100 U.S. Senate seats. The notion that these outside groups — those that embrace the Tea Party strategies and those that don’t — will take the same interest in Republican primary politics for statewide and legislative offices in 2015 that they did in the 2014 U.S. Senate race Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him sidsalter@sidsalter.com.

Lessons still unlearned from L.A. riots This weekend marks 100 days of the Trump administration. This milestone also coincides with a very important anniversary.

Twenty-five years ago, April 29, 1992, riots exploded in Los Angeles after four policemen were acquitted after being charged with the violent beating of Rodney King, caught on video for the entire nation to see.

According to The Los Angeles Times, 63 lives were lost in the riots, with the estimated total economic cost pegged at $1 billion, with $735 million in property damage and 1,550 buildings destroyed or damaged.

But this is more than a fact of national history for me. It is personal history. I was there.

After years on welfare, I had turned my life around after my Christian conversion. I left behind the nihilism and emptiness of the welfare state culture and became an entrepreneur and publisher.

My monthly magazine was sustained by advertising. But my operation and my customers were in South Central Los Angeles, where the riots occurred. I lost everything.

It was then, in one of life’s

moments of starting over, that I felt I must broaden my platform and engage and Star speak more Parker p u b l i c a l l y about what I Columnist had come to realize personally. That life must be defined by faith and personal responsibility.

I saw this as the only hope for black America.

What has happened in black attitudes since that explosion of despair and violence in 1992? Despite trillions of dollars in spending targeted to help these communities and a black man being elected twice as president of the United States, prevailing attitudes among blacks in America seem to continue to change for the worse.

Remember those words of Barack Obama when he debuted on the national stage, giving the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004?

“There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America.”

It sounds so nice but, unfortunately, polls indicate that, even today, this does reflect what most blacks think. Blacks have decidedly different views than whites regarding identification with the founding principles of this country and their place in it.

In 2009 when Obama was elected, 72 percent of blacks, per Gallup, said, “racism against blacks is widespread in the U.S.” In 2016, this was up to 82 percent.

Sixty-five percent of blacks, compared with 32 percent of whites, say that “government should do more,” and 29 percent of blacks, compared with 62 percent of whites, say that “government is doing too much.”

And, again according to Gallup, “Fifty-eight percent of whites have confidence in the police, compared with 29 percent of blacks.”

In a new poll by Pew Research, 32 percent of blacks compared with 53 percent of whites, think that the Supreme Court should base its rulings according to “what the U.S. Constitution meant when it was originally written.”

clearer to me back in 1992 that the flailing violence that destroyed Los Angeles would lead nowhere for blacks. It is equally clear to me today that the attitude among blacks that their futures lie with the responsibility and money of others will continue to lead nowhere.

Despite a complicated and hard history, blacks need to trash the cynicism they harbor against this great nation, founded on the principles of freedom -- a cynicism for which they are paying the greatest price. Only by embracing the principles of freedom and self-government can black Americans truly define a new path and participate in the American dream.

We all should look to the words of Abraham Lincoln in his second inaugural, “With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds...”

Jimmy Lowe

Coleman James “Jimmy” Lowe, 68, made his transition to a better place earlier this month in Detroit. A memorial service is set for 11 a.m. Saturday at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Corinth.

He was born Lowe the second of three children to the late Rev. Coleman and Lillie Lowe. He attended Scale Street Elementary School and then Easom High, where he was involved in many school activities, such as band, football, basketball, Hi-Y, student council, Explorers Club, Industrial Arts Club, French Club, Dramatics Club, Boy Scout Troop #52, 1965 editor of the Easom High yearbook, newspaper staff, Science Club and Business Club.

At Easom, he played two seasons as an end before being shifted to quarterback in his junior and senior years. He also excelled in baseball and basketball for the Yellowjackets and was a member of the 1964-65 Easom championship basket-

ball squad.

After graduating from Easom High in 1965, he attended Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Ala., where he pledged to what he considered to be the best fraternity in the world, Kappa Alpha Psi. He became a four-year letterman and was selected to the All-SIAC team three consecutive seasons.

He was described as “one of the best in the league” by his college coach. Jimmy led the SIAC in pass receptions with 65 in his 10 games. Not only was he one of the top athletes at Tuskegee, but he also rated among the top in his schoolwork, majoring in mechanical industries. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1969 and later played for the Hartford Knights. Football was among one of his many passions. He was also a very talented musician, mastering the trumpet, guitar and keyboard.

Any time and any place there was music, you could easily get a solo from him.

After his career with the NFL, Mr. Lowe fulfilled his second passion as a teacher in the Detroit City School District, teaching at Hampton Middle School and Halley Middle School. He coached football at Central, Henry Ford and Martin Luther King High

Schools, inspiring children in the classroom and on the football field for more than 30 years. He was active in the Detroit Community, volunteering his time as a mentor and coach for many city football leagues.

In his neighborhood, he was known to freely mow lawns, shovel snow and assist his neighbors in any way he could.

He enjoyed cooking, playing music and entertaining friends and family.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Sam & Mattie L. McGhee and Coleman & Miranda Gaines-Lowe; two brothers-in-law, James W. Settle and William S. Warren; and a nephew, PFC Kolben Patton.

Surviving this great loss are his two loving sisters, Jean Lowe-Settle of Holly Springs and Albertine Lowe-Warren of Bethel Springs, Tenn.; nephews Kerry Patton (Cassie) of Birmingham, Ala., Konson R. Patton of Nashville, Tenn., KeShun Calomese of Tupelo and Jordan Scales of Holly Springs; nieces Kela Settle of Tupelo, Kalita Vangas (Hiram) of Atlanta, Kerica Settle of Booneville, Kamaya Calomese of Tupelo, and Konstance and Kalleigh Scales of Holly Springs; and a host of cousins, other relatives and dear friends.

Nation

Associated Press

President Donald Trump’s order for the government to review national monuments created by several of his predecessors sets up a legal showdown over whether one chief executive has the power to undo another’s decisions. At stake are federal lands revered for their natural beauty and historical significance.

The review goes well beyond a few declarations made in the waning months of Barack Obama’s term. It covers 24 monuments established by three former presidents over more than two decades.

A closer look at the issues:

What is a national monument?

The 1908 Antiquities Act, enacted under President Theodore Roosevelt, empowers the president to declare as national monuments any landmarks, structures and other “objects of historic or scientific interest” on land owned or controlled by the federal government. Roosevelt established 18 monuments, including the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. Most presidents since then have designated additional monuments. Congress has created others.

Most monuments are overseen by the National Park Service. Some are cared for by the federal Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife Service or the Forest Service. Each agency has policies for protecting the land while also

allowing some public use. For instance, some policies include limits on mining, timber cutting and recreational activities such as riding off-road vehicles.

A contentious history Many national monument proclamations have enjoyed broad support. Others have been fiercely contested in Congress and the courts, including designations by Franklin D. Roosevelt (Jackson Hole National Monument, now Grand Teton National Park); Jimmy Carter (vast lands in Alaska); and George W. Bush (Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument northwest of Hawaii).

Trump’s choice of Jan. 1, 1996, as the starting date for his review was prompted by lingering resentment among Utah conservatives of Bill Clinton’s designation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument that year.

Critics say presidents increasingly are protecting areas that are too large and do not fit the law’s original purpose of shielding particular historical or archaeological sites. Designating millions of acres for scientific observation or sheltering rare species, they contend, is a “federal land grab” that ignores the wishes of local residents, although the lands already belonged to the government or were under federal control.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke says the pendulum has swung too far toward protecting public lands and away from the “multiple-use” concept advanced by Gifford Pin-

chot, the first chief of the Forest Service and an early leader in the conservation movement.

Supporters say the designations are essential to protect sensitive areas from looting and damage. Complaints about people getting kicked off the land are exaggerated, they say, and opposition fades as nearby communities benefit from tourism the monuments attract. A 2014 study by the nonprofit research group Headwaters Economics found that indicators such as employment, population and per-capita income held steady or improved in sections of the West where monuments larger than 10,000 acres had been established since 1981.

Legal principles Some monuments have been reduced in size over the years, either by presidential order or by Congress, while others have been enlarged. But no president has tried to eliminate a predecessor’s monument. If Trump does so, his move will almost certainly be challenged in court.

The Antiquities Act does not explicitly say whether a president can nullify a monument proclamation.

A legal analysis commissioned by the National Parks Conservation Association says no, pointing to a 1938 opinion by then-Attorney General Homer Cummings that a monument designation has the force of law and can be reversed only by Congress. A House report accompanying the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 agrees.

is perfect for volunteers from all walks of life.

The program provides opportunity for youth to belong, practice independence, encounter new experiences, and receive recognition along with achievement and success.

“4-H volunteers are a key component of the youth development program. 4-H volunteers conduct programs, activities, club meetings and learning experiences for young people,” said Parker. “The Alcorn County 4-H program offers a diverse program thanks to the volunteers who are actively involved. Active clubs include: clover buds (youth ages 5-7), photography, personal development, shooting sports, horse, livestock,

leadership, horticulture/gardening, sewing, cooking, congressional awards and community clubs.”

Alcorn County 4-H is now actively recruiting enthusiastic parents, grandparents, neighbors and community leaders who enjoy working with youth. Please keep in mind no previous 4-H experience is necessary, said Parker.

WHY DID JESUS COME TO EARTH? When we pause to consider the fact that Jesus is eternal, and that he was with God in heaven, and that he left that to come to earth, to be rejected by his own people, suffer the pain, shame, and humiliation of the cross; the question, at least from a human point of view, seems appropriate. The Bible gives us the answer.

When the angel of the Lord came to Joseph to announce the birth of Jesus, he said; “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”(Matthew 1:21) When Jesus sat with publicans and sinners in the house of Matthew, the Pharisees criticized his association with them. He said:”They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick….for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Matthew 9:12, 13) Luke records Jesus’ words at the house of Zaccheus: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”(Luke 19:10) Clearly, Jesus came to provide man the means to have his sin taken away. That includes you and me.

In John 12:46 Jesus said: “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” In an earlier conversation, with Nicodemus, he said: “light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3: 19).Throughout scripture, light and darkness are used to symbolize good and evil. If we continue to live in the darkness of sin, we do so despite the effort and purpose of Jesus to provide light that we might live.

The writer to the Hebrew Christians said: “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death……that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”(Hebrews 2:9) Verse 14 tells me that “as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also took part of the same; that he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” When Jesus rose from the tomb on the third day, he gave to all who will believe in him, the certainty that he is the Son of God (Romans 1:4) and forever answered the question: “If a man die, shall he live again.”(Job 14:14) You are always welcome at the Danville church of Christ.

Classmate won’t stop bullying despite pleas from her friend Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: I’m writing because I see a lot of bullying going on at school.

One of the bullies is a friend of mine and I’ve asked her to stop, but she

doesn’t listen.

How I can get through to her so she understands that she’s hurting someone’s feelings?

She treats people like they don’t have feelings, like they are non-human.

If you can’t answer this letter, I’ll understand, but if you find the time, I would greatly appreciate it. -- NOT A BULLY IN INDIANA DEAR NOT A BULLY: People bully others for a variety of reasons.

Among them, because they are angry and enjoy taking it out on others, because they themselves have been bullied, because it gives them a sense of power, or simply because they enjoy it.

Not knowing your “friend,” I can’t guess what’s driving her behavior.

I suggest that you ask her

what her reason is and after you hear her answer, you re-evaluate whether to distance yourself from her because, with bullies, the target can change and no one is safe.

DEAR ABBY: We set limits on our son’s screen time at home.

My mother-in-law lets him have quite a bit more screen time when he visits her.

My husband thinks grandparents should have the right to determine everything about how they treat and care for their grandchildren. What do you think? -- MOTHER IN BOULDER, COLO. DEAR MOTHER: I think grandparents should respect the rules that parents set for their children because there are usually good reasons for them.

I also think that for your inlaws to ignore your wishes as they have been doing is disrespectful, and your husband should consider that before concluding that his parents have the right to ignore them.

DEAR ABBY: A couple of months ago my husband and I received a very nice “save the date” for a wedding in August in a town nearby.

There were many nice photos of the engaged couple on the card.

The problem is, we have no idea who they are.

We called our families to ask if they had received one too, thinking maybe it was a longlost relative.

I even went so far as checking social media, thinking we might have friends in common, but we don’t.

I’m hoping the actual invitation may offer more clues, but I don’t think it will.

While this was clearly addressed to us, my fear is that it was intended for someone else who may not be “saving the date” and it may cause some tension within their family.

What would be proper when the invitation arrives?

Do I check “will not attend” and send it back, or should I include a note with an explanation? -- SAVE THE DATE IN WISCONSIN DEAR SAVE THE DATE: You are a nice person.

A simple “regret that we cannot attend” should be sufficient and by all means include the note.

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.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

There’s a risk you’ve been considering for some time. This is the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. You’ll recognize a pattern and use the discovery to make a timely play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s a time for glitz, glamour and show and a time for slipping under the radar and observing your advantage from that low position. Underplay your next move. Humility is not only a virtue; it’s a tactic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There is a difference between acting out of a desire to do what’s right and acting out of fear of the repercussions that will happen when you do what’s wrong. The former builds energy. The latter drains it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ve a talent for carefully organizing the chaos. It’s amazing! You’ll accidentally impress someone with your ability to stay calm and bring clarity to the picture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You

don’t have to actually be brave to do brave things. It’s more about acting as a brave person would, and then making a habit of that. Follow through time and again. Before you know it, you’re the real deal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re an excellent steward of your resources. Of course, the temptations are few now, but this will change. Take stock of the way you’re managing and lay down some rules you can abide by for continued success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re ahead of your time in some way. Table the idea, and then get back in step with the others. When there’s an opportunity to use this, you’ll be ready to jump. For now it’s better to stay in sync.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

What would you do if you knew that the best is yet to come?

Would you stop worrying and hedging your bets? Would you let go of something substandard in your life? All indications point to... the best really is yet

to come!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Act on a whim. There’s no guarantee it will turn out as hoped, but even if it doesn’t it will be a lot more interesting than if you stuck to the “normal” way. The people around need spontaneity just like you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve a pressing desire to live differently. There’s no better time to start. Do it today; repeat it tomorrow and the next day and the next. What you do daily will get easier until it’s automatic and just part of how you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Look for the small improvements. They can make a big difference. Be proud of the little steps; they’ll add up. The person who makes slow progress makes progress indeed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you love what’s happening, you’ll be enthusiastic on the inside, cool on the outside.

When you don’t love what’s happening (but you know that they do), it’s just the opposite.

What’s going on around here?

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

There’s something about playoff time that brings the best out in the athletes, coaches, and fans.

Maybe it’s the warmer and more pleasant weather as well while the shorts and flip flops begin to make appearances around the diamonds.

It’s also obvious when the towels start to become a part of the outdoor wardrobe so we can wipe our foreheads when it gets a bit too warm.

Whatever the reason, the baseball and softball playoffs are in full swing with softball already in round 2. Baseball begins its second round Friday and there are several area teams still in contention for a trip to the state finals.

In 1A Biggersville and Thrasher have advanced and will both face much stiffer competition beginning Fri-

day.

The Lions rallied from seven down in the seventh against Simmons Tuesday and then took the rubber match to advance to face Smithville.

The Seminoles are the top seed from Division 4-1A and moved into the second round with a 2-0 sweep of Hickory Flat. They will be at home for game one and will host a gritty and suddenly confident group of Lions who will not be an easy out.

Coach Daniel Rowsey has his team playing well at the right time and it wouldn’t be surprising if his squad gets by the Seminoles but first things first.

“They (Smithville) can pitch with anybody in the state and from what I understand they have four good ones with high speed velocity and they strike a lot of folks

out,” said Rowsey. “To get past them we’re gonna have to put the ball in play and make them throw it around some and then play good defense and pitch well ourselves.”

The Rebels will face West Union in round two and will be pitted against a playofftested and veteran group of players that know how to win.

First game of that series is set for 3 on Friday afternoon at Thrasher.

In 3A defending champion Kossuth is right back on track for a repeat and will next face Hatley beginning at 7 Friday night at Aggie Field.

“Hatley is always in the playoffs and they are a goodhitting team with good experience,” said KHS skipper Josh Dowdy. “I know coach Harris over there and he always puts a good team on the

field. We’ll have to play really well to beat them but no matter who we play we know it’s gonna be a challenge and we’re going to take everybody’s best shot.”

Alcorn Central matches up again with North Pontotoc in round two but neither team is the same as last year. In fact, both might be better at this point.

“They (Vikings) graduated some good players last year that went on to play college ball and so did we,” mentioned Golden Bear coach Jarred Robinson. “They are the number one seed out of division four for a reason.

They can pitch well and hit well.”

“But I like the attitude and focus our guys are playing with right now. We’re gonna give it our best shot and see Please see GOING ON | 9

Woolfolk on stopper of the year watch list Ole Miss Sports Information

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Ole Miss closer Dallas Woolfolk was named to the midseason watch list for the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Stopper of the Year Award, members of the association announced Wednesday afternoon. Woolfolk is one of 40 pitchers on the watch list for the award given annually to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I Baseball.

Woolfolk is the second Rebel to earn a spot on the midseason watch list in as many years. Last season,

southpaw Wyatt Short made the list as the Rebels’ primary closer. With Short now in the professional ranks with the World Series champion Chicago Cubs organization, Woolfolk burst onto the scene in 2017 to become the go-to reliever at the end of games.

As a freshman, Woolfolk was 1-0 with a 2.55 ERA and one save in 18 appearances (17.2 innings). Moving into his second year as a Rebel, his breakout moment occurred on opening weekend.

In the series finale against No. 6 East Carolina (Feb. 19),

Woolfolk entered the game in the eighth with the bases loaded and nobody out as the runner on second represented the tying run. In the toughest possible jam in baseball, he locked in by striking out three straight hitters to end the inning and keep the Pirates from scoring. He ended up coming back out for the ninth, recording two more strikeouts on his way to retiring the side and earning his first save of the season.

Woolfolk, whose fastball ranges from 94-97 mph, has been nearly unhittable this season. The Southaven, Mis-

sissippi, native holds a 1.26 ERA over a team-high 20 appearances. Along with tallying 33 strikeouts and issuing only three walks, Woolfolk is 3-1 and boasts eight saves as the team’s top closer. His eight saves rank second in the SEC as well as 27th nationally. Moreover, the hardthrowing righty has shown that he’s more than just a one-inning wonder by recording at least four outs to earn four of his saves. In 28.2 innings, Woolfolk is holding opposing hitters to a teamPlease see WOOLFOLK | 9

Spurs, Raptors move on to second round showdowns The Associated Press

LeBron James and the champs are ready for their next challenger. James Harden and the Rockets are getting revved up in Texas.

With their opponents waiting, Toronto and San Antonio will try to set up a pair of second-round showdowns in the two Game 6s on the schedule Thursday night.

The Raptors can finish off the Milwaukee Bucks and move on to a rematch with the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the Spurs can knock out the Memphis Grizzlies and secure a Lone Star State tussle with the Rockets.

Gregg Popovich and the Spurs value rest as much as any organization, and there won’t be much if they lose Thursday and are forced to play a Game 7 back home on Saturday night.

They would then host the Rockets in Game 1 on Monday night, a short turnaround before having to chase Houston’s shooters all over the perimeter.

So the Spurs will be driven to get their elusive first victory in Memphis this season.

“They’re coming to kill us. They’re trying to put us out of our misery,” Grizzlies coach David Fizdale said. “If you don’t know anything about them, they’re killers. So we understand that, but we also have to come out with a mentality to impose our will on the game.”

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in Cleveland also is Monday, and the Cavaliers will get plenty of rest after sweeping Indiana in the first round. The Raptors were already on fumes by the time they faced the Cavaliers in last year’s East finals after having to go seven games in the first two rounds, so would love to make things a little easier on themselves now.

“It’s something that is in our minds, going on the road and under-

standing how they may feel and we’ve got go out there and really treat it like a Game 7,” All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan said. “I hate to keep saying that over and over again, but that is the only way we can treat it because that’s how they are going to treat it.”

The Raptors are 0-3 in Game 6 with a chance to win a series over the last three years, with all the losses on the road. If Milwaukee wins Thursday, Game 7 in Toronto would be Saturday.

A look at the two game on Thursday: Raptors at Bucks, Toronto leads 3-2. Game 6, 7 p.m., TNT. Need to know: Toronto has won two straight after getting blown out in Game 3, in large part because of the emergence of Norman Powell, who scored a career playoff-high 25 points in Game 5. The 6-foot-4 guard has also added athleticism since joining the starting lineup in Game 4 to help handle the transitionhappy Bucks. Milwaukee is on the brink of elimination and the Raptors will be tough to beat if they get another strong night from complementary players Powell and Serge Ibaka.

Keep an eye on: The opening five minutes.

The last three games have been won by the team that has set an early tone. The Bucks will get an energy boost from playing at home, though the more playoff-tested Raptors have proven that they can slow down their more athletic opponent at the Bradley Center. Coach Jason Kidd’s young team must find a way to be aggressive early without getting sloppy.

Injury update: Khris Middleton missed practice Wednesday with a bug that has been bothering the Bucks’ secondleading scorer all week.

Kidd expects Middleton (14.7 points) to play in Game 6.

what happens.”

The Bears swept past the Vikings last season but don’t look for a repeat this time around.

Both teams are familiar with each other and both have good pitching and solid hitting. Plus both squads are playing their best ball right now.

Corinth will face a tough challenge from Houston in round two of the 4A playoffs with a home game Friday at 6.

The Hilltoppers swept Lafayette County out of the playoffs last week and have a solid pitching staff in addition to some very solid bats.

But isn’t that the way it is with every team at this

Pre-draft football: Prospects vs. kids at Shriners The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — One day away from discovering where their professional paths will lead, NFL draft prospects gathered for some impromptu football.

The site: Shriners Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The players: patients at the hospital — all of whom tugged at the heart strings of these physical specimens.

“This is what it’s all about,” LSU safety Jamal Adams said Wednesday.

Adams is expected to be one of the top selections in Thursday night’s first round. “Man, this is special, being with these kids.”

With 20 of his peers on hand, the event was a celebration not only of their achievements, but a recognition of what these kids have gone through, and continue to deal with.

“These kids are so cool,” said Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, another likely early pick.

“All of these draft players

coming in here and being here with them and playing with them, that has to be the coolest thing for them.

“You hear stories about these kids and the severity of their illnesses, and then you see them here and they are so alive.”

Boys and girls in wheelchairs mingled with the collegians. Some patients caught nerf balls thrown by top-rated quarterbacks Deshaun Watson, Mitchell Trubisky and DeShone Kizer. Others took hand-

offs and followed tackles Ryan Ramczyk and Garett Bolles through imaginary opponents. Or they “beat” Adams, Adoree’ Jackson and other defensive backs on hand to score pretend touchdowns.

One player it all hit home for was LSU’s Leonard Fournette, a probable top-10 pick and first running back to go. Fournette has said he wants to build low-cost day-care center in neighborhoods that need them in his hometown of New Orleans.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I recently reconnected with an old girlfriend. We had not spoken, texted or seen each other in almost five years. She broke my heart about five years ago, and my mother was killed shortly after that. I’ve not dated or wanted to have a serious relationship since.

About three months ago, I told my daughter that I was ready to meet someone. So she brought up Match.com and signed me up, just so I could browse. The very first profile I saw was my exgirlfriend’s! My daughter said, “Text her, Dad. It’s a sign.” After debating it, I did. And I came to find out that she really had not dated anyone in five years, either, and that she had stopped browsing Match.com more than a year and a half ago.

Well, we started texting and then meeting for lunch and then dinner, and next thing I know, we are spending almost all our time together. I was not the best boyfriend years ago, but I changed so much after my mother’s death. And this woman really noticed a huge change in me. She even got emotional about how well I treat her and how much I spoil her and how amazingly sweet I am now. She said, “No one has ever treated me as well as you do now!”

Dear Annie That’s exactly how I promised myself I would try to behave.

I’ve fallen in love with her. I’m so scared to tell her, and I’m so scared to lose her. But I want her to know I’ve fallen for her now much differently than I did in the past. I always ask her now, “Were you like this before — funny, smart, witty?” She says, “Yes, but you were blind to it before!” And I was. I was going through a very bad divorce and losing a business, just to name a couple of things.

How do I convince her of this? I always tell her I’m insanely crazy about her. She tells me she feels the same. We are almost 50, and I’m not sure I can go through another heartbreak. — Lost Love Dear Lost: Anything worthwhile comes with some risk. To win big, you have to bet big, and from the sound of this love affair so far, I’m betting on you. Just tell her you love her. Even if she doesn’t say it back, telling people you love them is great for their soul and yours.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our mid-80s

and don’t eat nearly so much as we did in our younger years. When we go out to eat, we usually share a meal. If we take guests out, we expect to pay for their meal. We try to allow the guests to order first, as it can make for an awkward situation if they order a full meal each and then we split a meal. I think this makes them feel uncomfortable.

What is your take on this?

— W.C. in Waycross, Ga. Dear W.C.: My take is that you’re very considerate, generous people. Based on that fact, I’m sure that however you’re handling the situation now is the correct way to do so. Insisting that your guests order first is a good tactic to ensure that they don’t downgrade their order after seeing that you two are splitting one entree. But don’t feel bashful about politely explaining, “We simply don’t have the appetites we used to, and we enjoy sharing a plate. But please, order whatever you’d like. Our treat.” Such a warm statement, said with a smile, will surely melt away any awkwardness.

PWS ID: 0020003 April 19, 2017 We are very pleased to provide you with this year's Annual Water Quality Report. We want to keep you informed about the excellent water and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is and always has been, to provide to you a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Our water source is groundwater, and our wells draw from the Paleozoic Aquifer.

Our source water assessment has been completed for our public water system to deliver the overall susceptibility of its drinking water supply to identify potential sources of contamination. The general susceptibility rankings assigned to each well of this system are provided below. A report containing detailed information on how the susceptibility determinations were made has been furnished to our public water system and is available for viewing upon request. Our wells ranked a lower susceptibility to contamination.

We are pleased to report that our drinking water meets all federal and state requirements.

If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Roger F. Wigginton at 662-286-2815. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility.

If you want to learn more, please attend one of our regular meetings held at 5:00 P.M on the second Thursday of each month at the City of Farmington Board Room.

The Farmington Water Association routinely monitors for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The table below shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2016. As water travels over the land or underground, it can pick up substances or contaminants such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It is important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk.

Action Level - The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Maximum Contaminant Level - The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - The “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking wate below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

Parts per million (ppm) – Milligrams per liter (mg/L) Parts per billion (ppb) – Micrograms per liter (ug/L) Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.

***Additional Information for Lead*** If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Farmington Water Association is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested.

Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Please contact 601-576-7582 if you wish to have your water tested.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by substances that are naturally occurring or man made. These substances can be microbes, inorganic or organic chemicals and radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

The Consumer Confidence Report will not be mailed to you, however; you may obtain a copy from the Farmington Water office located on Farmington Road @ 4100 CR 200. If you have any questions, please call 662-286-2815.
