Living Free Ministries has three summer goals and they need help to reach them. After a successful 13th year so far, the Corinth non-residential faith-based addiction recovery program has several specific needs for the summer. The organization plans to provide more than 3,000 meals over the three months at a cost of about $4,500, install new LED lighting in the Living Free kitchen and meeting area at a cost of about $2,000 and fullfill regular summer operation needs for about $8,500. “Everything we need this summer comes to a total of $15,000,” said founder Tommy Wilson. “We believe the Lord has provided for Living Free for the last 13 years, and He will provide this summer as well.” Wilson said the LED lighting project at their campus building on Highway 72 is very important. “We have estimated a high return on long-term savings on our electricity bill if we can replace our current lighting system with the more efficient LED lighting,” he said. So far, 2017 has been an unbelievable year at Please see FREE | 2A

U.S. 45 gets Rockabilly designation A music style rooted deep in northeast Mississippi history will soon have it’s own road. Gov. Phil Bryant recently signed House Bill 907 designating a section of U.S. Highway 45 in Alcorn, Prentiss and Lee counties as Rockabilly Way. The new name designation will pay tribute to the historic style of music that blends country music and rhythm and blues. It will tie Mississippi to Rockabilly Way in Tennessee. When completed, the section will connect Jackson, Tenn., home of the Rockabilly Museum, to Tupelo, birthplace of popular Rockabilly artist Elvis Presley. One of the driving forces behind the highway designation is local resident Dale Rushing. He worked with Rep. Randy Boyd of Mantachie to draft the bill earlier this year. “It feels great to have this step out of the way,” said Rushing. “Unfortunately there’s still a lot left to do.” The bill will become law on July 1, but Rushing said MDOT has yet to schedule sign

Today In History Today is Sunday, June 18, the 169th day of 2017. There are 196 days left in the year. This is Father’s Day.
Today’s Highlights in History On June 18, 1940, during World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill urged his countrymen to conduct themselves in a manner that would prompt future generations to say, “This was their finest hour.” Charles de Gaulle delivered a speech on the BBC in which he rallied his countrymen after the fall of France to Nazi Germany.
On this date In 1778, American forces entered Philadelphia as the British withdrew during the Revolutionary War. In 1812, the War of 1812 began as the United States Congress approved, and President James Madison signed, a declaration of war against Britain. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte met his Waterloo as British and Prussian troops defeated the French in Belgium. In 1817, London’s original Waterloo Bridge, commemorating Britain’s victory over France two years earlier, was opened by the Prince Regent (the
future King George IV) and the Duke of Wellington. In 1873, suffragist Susan B. Anthony was found guilty by a judge in Canandaigua, New York, of breaking the law by casting a vote in the 1872 presidential election. In 1908, William Howard Taft was nominated for president by the Republican National Convention in Chicago. In 1953, a U.S. Air Force Douglas C-124 Globemaster II crashed near Tokyo, killing all 129 people on board. Egypt’s 148-year-old Muhammad Ali Dynasty came to an end with the overthrow of the monarchy and the proclamation of a republic. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Japanese Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda spoke to each other by telephone as they inaugurated the first trans-Pacific cable completed by AT&T between Japan and Hawaii. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter and Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev signed the SALT II strategic arms limitation treaty in Vienna. In 1983, astronaut Sally K. Ride became America’s first woman in space as she and four colleagues blasted off
aboard the space shuttle Challenger on a six-day mission. In 1986, 25 people were killed when a twin-engine plane and helicopter carrying sightseers collided over the Grand Canyon. In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Georgia v. McCollum, ruled that criminal defendants could not use race as a basis for excluding potential jurors from their trials.
Ten years ago Nine firefighters died in a fire at a furniture store and warehouse in Charleston, South Carolina. Yahoo Inc. Chairman Terry Semel ended his 6-year tenure as chief executive officer, handing over the reins to co-founder Jerry Yang. Vilma Espin Guillois, wife of acting President Raul Castro and a former rebel fighter, died in Havana, Cuba, at age 77. Hank Medress, lead singer for The Tokens and their hit “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” died in New York at 68.
Five years ago In a scene captured on cellphone video, Karen Klein, a school bus monitor from Rochester, New York, was verbally
abused by seventh-graders, prompting outrage as well as donations to the 68-year-old grandmother. Former baseball star Roger Clemens was acquitted in Washington, D.C. on all charges that he’d obstructed and lied to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. R.A. Dickey became the first major league pitcher in 24 years to throw consecutive one-hitters in the New York Mets’ 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Actor Victor Spinetti, 82, died in Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales.
One year ago With California’s Yosemite Falls as a backdrop, President Barack Obama said that climate change was already damaging America’s national parks, with rising temperatures causing Yosemite’s meadows to dry out and raising the prospect of a glacier preserve without its glaciers someday. During an appearance in Las Vegas, Donald Trump railed against efforts by some frustrated Republicans planning a last-ditch effort to try to thwart him from becoming the party’s nominee, threatening at one point to stop fundraising if Republicans didn’t rally around him.
DOWNTOWN CONTINUED FROM 1A
the beginning,” said the Lucedale native. “I can remember when I first came into town as a college senior to practice teach. As we drove down Fillmore, I noticed an impressive old building with a large piece of equipment holding a wrecking ball standing nearby.” It was 1960 and the old Rubel Department Store at the corner of Fillmore and Cruise streets was set for demolition. Although the sight saddened Rosemary, she was in no position to help ... yet. “Little did I know then that I would meet and marry Sandy Williams that fall,” she said. “As time went on I had plenty of opportunities to learn more about and practice my new interest of preserving history in my new hometown.” Three years after arriving in Corinth, Rosemary became a member of the Corinth Library Board, which at the time managed the VerandahCurlee House. “So began a lifetime of helping restore the historic home that is still happening today,” she said. With the help of Rose-
mary, the home built in 1857 has become a National Historic Landmark and in recent years a massive restoration project has begun that has seen the home’s crumbing foundation repaired. While trying to save one of Corinth’s oldest homes, the young Williams couple was living in another. “For the first 11 years after we married, we lived at the old Candler place built around 1870 at the corner of Fillmore and Main,” said Rosemary. “It was our first attempt at restoration, and it went quite well.” In 1975, they moved down the street to Sandy’s family home – “Oak Home,” yet another one of Corinth’s oldest structures. Rosemary added, “Throughout the years we have continued preservation of the wonderful home where we raised our family.” Rosemary became an author through her love of Corinth, as well. She compiled a book, “Cross City Chronicles,” in 1976 to describe the architectural history of Corinth and Alcorn County along with a brief history of both the build-
ings and the community. The book benefited the Corinth Junior Auxiliary and Jubilee ‘76. In the late 1970s, it was Rosemary who started a campaign to save the Corinth Coliseum, which she believes served as a key start of the revitalization of historic downtown. The 1920s building built by Benjamin Franklin Liddon had grown into disrepair. Owned by Herb Welch of Indiana, the building sat vacant for many years until Williams organized a concert at the old theater. “So many people were surprised at the beautiful building which had been closed for years,” she said. “After three years of trying to raise money to purchase the property without success, we were able to convince Mr. Welch to donate the property in 1981 to Alcorn County with the assistance of our good friend, the late attorney O. R. Smith, Jr.” Rosemary oversaw the restoration project of the building, which was in a “terrible condition from years of neglect.” “There was a gaping hole in the ceiling caus-
ing water damage to the auditorium and other problems,” she said. “A discussion had even started about demolition and making the property into a city parking lot ... but thanks to the support of the community and many private and business contributions we were able to make the stabilizing repairs early on and through the years the community has continued support and with help of some grant monies, the building is now beautifully restored.” Rosemary later founded the Corinth Area Arts Council, Inc., a non-profit community service organization with the main goal of restoring and managing the Coliseum. Through the years, Rosemary has also helped on other restoration projects including one to save the Fillmore Street Chapel. Before Main Street Corinth was established, it was the Williams’ who first started the holly tree project lining downtown city streets. “It started in 1985 on Taylor Street in front of the Coliseum with a donation from Four Season’s Garden Club,” said Rose-
mary. “Then about two years later we were able to extend the project to Fillmore Street from Cruise to Foote with the help of businesses.” The two watered those trees for years until Main Street came along. “After watching plants die in downtown planters for many years, I took on the nightly watering of those except for a few taken care of by interested businesses. Sandy and I have contributed to the watering for about eight years, but have had to give it up recently due to health reasons,” she added. “A watering project must be taken on by a group or several individuals in order to make the project successful. Dying plants detract from our work with beautifying the town.” Rosemary and Sandy have contributed work through the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission, as well. One project was the creation of Trailhead Park at Waldron and Jackson streets. “The area of park land was the site of the former freight building which was demolished and allowed to become unsight-
ly,” said Rosemary. “This weed covered lot is a nice city parking lot today with a gazebo for viewing the historic rail crossing, an entertainment platform, public restrooms, maps and interpretive signage and attractive landscaping.” In 2006, the Williams’ purchased one of Corinth’s treasures, the Waits building. They worked to preserve the historic 1870 building and even reopened it for a short time as a jewelry store. Even through the Williams’ footprint on downtown Corinth revitalization has been massive so far, Rosemary said she realized a long time ago that it takes the entire community to save it. “Restoration and revitalization can not occur with the work of one or a few people,” she said. “So many have contributed substantially to Corinth having the character and attractive public areas we and our visitors enjoy today.” The list is long and includes many, she said, who have made important contributions to the long term success and growth of downtown Corinth.

Child poverty a major issue Each year, the Annie E. Casey Foundation releases its Kids Count Report, which provides data on the state of the nation’s children. It is a voluminous report, drawn from U.S. Census data and other sources, that examines the conditions our children live with on a state-by-state basis, funneling the data into four major categories — economic wellbeing, education, health and family/community. You will find nothing unusual about how Mississippi’s children compare to those of other states in this year’s report. It is, as disturbing, as always. Or at least, it should be disturbing. For example, the report shows that 31 percent of the state’s children are living in poverty, which is actually an IMPROVEMENT from last year (33 percent). Mississippi ranks last or near the last in all four categories and, when all four are combined, Mississippi is last there, too. If this were a ranking of “best states to attend the opera” or “best states to find great sushi bars” we could shrug it off, easy enough. But when 3 out of every 10 of the state’s most innocent, most vulnerable residents find themselves living in poverty and all of the soul-crippling, hope-depriving things that go with it, we should be shocked into action. But it seems we have become desensitized to the very real human suffering the data in this report so plainly states. There are states, we are certain, when the idea that so many of its children live in squalor would be considered a crisis and its leadership would act immediately to address the matter. But in Mississippi, you rarely hear our leaders even mention the subject. It does not appear to be even on the radar of those who are best positioned to do something about it. It is not a “government problem,” we are told. But that is a lie. The issue of child poverty is so pervasive that only the collective will of the people, exercised though the government we choose to act on our behalf, can address it on a consistent, coordinated and continual way. We pause here to honor the dedication of so many private groups - churches, civic clubs, charities — who are in the trenches, trying as best they can with limited resources, to meet the needs of the desperate poor. We are a big-hearted people and we answer the call of conscience. But until the state government we send to Jackson shows even an inkling of concern about this crisis, there is little hope that we can change the future of those children in any meaningful way. We must be sure that our legislators hear the anguished cries of the poor child. Regular citizens can be that voice. The urgency of the message must be made clear to those who are in a position to do something about it. We offer no solution, for there is likely no single solution. Nor can we lay the burden solely on the shoulders of our government. But government must carry its share of the load, which it clearly has been unwilling to do. It is likely that improving the conditions of our children will take a broad-based, coordinated, well-funded public-private partnership. But first, we have to care. Do we? Ask your legislator.

He’s a Republican now Donald Trump, the erstwhile Democrat, independent and member of the Reform Party, finally has a fixed partisan identity. The president may be besieged, unpopular and prone to lashing out selfdestructively, but all of this cements his bond to his party rather than erodes it. Commentators who ask wishfully and plaintively, “When will Republicans dump Trump and save themselves?” are missing the point: Trump’s weakness makes him more Republican than ever before. It was possible to imagine Trump, with a head of steam after his upset victory in November, cowing swamp-dwelling Republicans and wooing infrastructure-loving, anti-trade Democrats into supporting a populist congressional agenda. Maybe this was always a pipe dream given the instantaneous rise of the #resistance against him. But this scenario would have required a strong, focused president marshaling his popularity and driving Congress. We’ve seen close to the opposite. And, of course, there’s the so-called Russia investigation. “Russia” is a misnomer. The controversy is now shifting from
being about supposed T r u m p campaign collusion to alleged obstruction of Rich justice and Lowry w h a t e v e r else special National counsel RobReview ert Mueller dredges up in what will probably be a free-ranging, yearslong investigation. So, whatever Trump’s true ideological predilections, there’s no place for him to go. Make deals with the Democrats? At this point, Democrats are more likely to cooperate with Sergey Kislyak on an infrastructure package than with Donald Trump. Dump or triangulate away from Republicans? Well, then who would do scandal defense, besides a handful of White House aides and outside media loyalists? Imagine what the Comey or Sessions hearings would have looked like if Republicans had joined Democrats in the pile-on. The need for support on Capitol Hill could well get more urgent if things go badly the next year and a half. If Democrats take the House, Trump will rely
on Republicans for an impeachment defense and, if it comes to that, for the votes in the Senate to block removal. In one sense, this suits Trump. He may have a questionable partisan pedigree, but he is a natural partisan — smash-mouth, heedless of process and norms, willing to make whatever argument suits him at any particular time. There have been many Republicans who have opposed Chuck Schumer before; it took Trump to call him a “clown.” As for congressional Republicans, they, too, don’t have much choice. Like it or not, whatever they tell reporters privately about their true feelings about Trump, his fate is their fate. First, a president’s approval rating heavily influences midterm elections. The outcome in the campaign for the House will presumably be much different depending on whether Trump is at 35 or 45 percent. Republicans dumping Trump wouldn’t make him any more popular. Second, such a distancing is not really politically practicable. If Republicans try to skitter away from Trump, their base will roast them. There’s no reason
to think that at this point the dynamic would be any different than after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, when Republicans dumping Trump were quickly forced to pick him right back up again. Third, Republicans want to get some things done legislatively. A poisonous split with the White House wouldn’t help. Trump may be a mercurial and frustrating partner, but he is a partner all the same. Finally, most Republicans — quite legitimately — think the Russian controversy is a media-driven travesty. If there were a smoking gun, this posture would probably change (obviously, in that circumstance, it should change). But Democrats are in no position to lecture Republicans on cutting loose a president of their own party when they twisted themselves in knots to defend Bill Clinton after he lied under oath over an affair that violated every feminist principle the party professed to hold. If Trump and Republicans had their druthers, neither would be in quite this position. But this is the reality for everyone. For now, there’s no way out, only through, and through it together.
There’s a long history of leftist hatred James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, who aspired to end his life as a mass murderer of Republican Congressmen, was a Donald Trump hater and a Bernie Sanders backer. Like many before him, Hodgkinson was a malevolent man of the hating and hard left. His planned atrocity failed because two Capitol Hill cops were at that Alexandria baseball field, providing security for House Whip Steve Scalise. Had those cops not been there, a massacre would have ensued with many more dead than the gunman. Recall. There were no armed citizens at that Tucson grocery in 2011, when six were murdered and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was gravely wounded along with a dozen others. The nutcase doing the shooting was only wrestled to the ground when he dropped a clip trying to reload. The Alexandria attack brings back memories of long ago. A day before my 12th birthday, when I was in Children’s Hospital with a broken leg, my parents brought me the news that Puerto Rican terrorists had just attempted to assassinate Harry Truman at Blair House. A heroic cop, Leslie Coffelt, died stopping them. Democratic politics has often proven a dangerous calling.

Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and JFK — one in every Patrick 10 of all our Buchanan presidents — were assassiColumnist nated. In February 1933, President-elect FDR, in Miami, was the target of would-be assassin Giuseppe Zangara, whose arm was jostled at the moment of firing. The bullet killed Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Between the assassination of JFK in 1963 and near-mortal wounding of President Reagan by John Hinckley in 1981, Martin Luther King was murdered in Memphis in April 1968, and Sen. Robert Kennedy, two months later, in Los Angeles. Presidential candidate George Wallace, campaigning in Laurel, Maryland, was shot five times in May 1972 by Arthur Bremer, who had spent weeks stalking President Nixon. President Ford was the target of two attempts on his life in 1975, the first by a Manson Family hanger-on Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, the second by radical leftist Sara Jane Moore. What drove the assassins? In the early 20th century, it was anarchism. McKinley was killed by anarchist Leon Czolgosz in Buffalo,
New York. In 1919, Carlo Valdinaci tried to assassinate Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer with a bomb on his porch at 2132 R Street. Valdinoci tripped on a wicket and his dynamite bomb exploded prematurely, blasting Carlo’s body parts all over the neighborhood. Palmer’s neighbor across the street, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt, rushed over to help. Palmer ordered a roundup of anarchists in what came to be known as “Palmer Raids,” and put in charge of field operations a 24-year-old lawyer and D.C. law-enforcement prodigy by the name of John Edgar Hoover. Hoover’s career flourished. But the career of America’s most famous anarchist, Emma Goldman, faded. She and ex-lover Alexander Berkman, who had tried to kill Carnegie Steel’s Henry Clay Frick during the violent Homestead Strike of 1892, were rounded up and deported in 1920 with hundreds of anarchists to the new Russia of Lenin and Trotsky in a ship the press dubbed “the Red Ark.” A. Mitchell Palmer did not get the 1920 presidential nomination he was seeking. But neighbor FDR did make it onto the ticket. As radical anarchists were the principal terrorists of the first quarter of the 20th century, and Puerto Rican nationalist-terrorists dominat-

ed the 1950s, the 1960s and early 1970s were marked by the seemingly endless violence of the hard left, beginning with the Communist Oswald, who had tried to shoot Gen. Edwin Walker in Dallas before killing JFK. The campus violence and urban riots of the decade, from Harlem to Watts to Newark and Detroit, to Washington, D.C., and 100 cities after Dr. King’s death, were not the work of the Goldwater right. Those were the days of the Black Panthers, Students for a Democratic Society, Weatherman and the Symbionese Liberation Army. It was America’s radical left shooting cops and burning down ROTC buildings. Leftist violence propelled the political careers of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. As for James Hodgkinson, he was a Trump-hating left-wing terrorist. And those who incite sick minds with images of a bloodstained decapitated head of the president, and cheer Central Park productions of “Julius Caesar” with the assassinated Roman Consul made up to look like the president, cannot evade moral culpability. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of a new book, “Nixon’s White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever.”

ABERDEEN — The state Board of Education, as expected, voted Friday to take the Aberdeen School District out from under state control, reported the Daily Journal. The process of coming out from under the state conservatorship requires Board Chair Rosemary Aultman and Superintendent Carey Wright to formally request Gov. Phil Bryant lift his 2012 state of emergency order that allowed the state to take over the district. That state of emergency was imposed at the request of the Mississippi Board of Education, just as the Board is not requesting it be rescinded. Generally speaking, the lifting of the state of emergency is a formality and probably will occur next week. At Friday’s state Board of Education meeting, Mac Curlee, who took over as conservator in September 2013, said the 1,300-student district is ready to come out from under state control. “The culture has changed from one of excuses and mediocrity to one of very high expectations for the students,” Curlee said Friday during the Board of Education meeting in the Central High School building in Jackson
Tupelo woman among 4 fatalities in wreck WASHINGTON COUNTY — The Mississippi Highway Patrol is still investigating two-vehicle crash, in Washington County, that claimed the lives of four people. Troopers responded to U.S. 82 near Ann Drive Inn Road at approximately 7 p.m., Friday night. Upon arriving it appeared Dennis L. Smith, 45, of Greenville, was traveling east bound when he apparently lost control of his 2006 Chevrolet and crossed over into the west bound lanes and collided into a 2006 Kia, driven by Jimmy L. Vance, 64, of Leland. Smith and Vance both received fatal injuries from the crash and died on the crash scene. Leenell Boleware, 59, of Leland, and Angela Cooper, 44, of Tupelo, were passengers in Vance’s vehicle. They both received fatal injuries from the crash and died on the crash scene. None of the crash victims were wearing a seatbelt.

It was not long after his second divorce that Johnson lost everything he owned and was forced to live in a tent. He had no job and no home after hitting what he called “rock bottom.” A group of church members from Christ Temple in Walnut convinced Johnson to visit the church, a move that was a big part of his recovery from drug addiction. “They helped me get a relationship with Jesus and He turned my life around,” said Johnson. “I surrounded myself with Christian people and I went everywhere with the church pastor. If there was a church service or gospel singing in the area, I was there.” Johnson said Johnny and the late Shirley Pittman allowed him to live in their Walnut home while he was getting his life back together. “They took me in without even really knowing me and loved me like I was their own grandson,” said Johnson. “They gave me a chance

Florence UNA ranked second best in Alabama FLORENCE, Ala. — A new study by Schools.com ranked the University of North Alabama as the second best four-year college in the state, reported the TimesDaily. The website, which provides information on higher education to students across the country, recently ranked the top 10 Alabama colleges. According to the website, Troy was ranked number one. The survey researched 30 schools and took into account the average net price, range of degree options, retention rate, and flexibility of offering night, weekend and online classes. UNA offers more than 140 academic majors and minors, and ranked fourth in sticker price of tuition and fees. It is the oldest public, four-year institution in the state. Admission rate is 58 percent and 15 online programs are currently being offered. The data in the study came from the National Center for Education Statistics from 2014-16 and College Score-

He did not realize at the time that being in the rodeo would lead him to meet his future wife, Polly Johnson. “Polly commented on my Facebook post about the rodeo and asked me how to get there,” recalled Johnson. “I asked her for a date that night at the rodeo and she declined. I kept calling and she finally agreed to go out with me.” When Johnson decided to propose, he asked Wilbanks to bring Polly out of the stands at a Booneville rodeo and he asked her to marry him in front of the crowd. Thankfully, she said yes. The two will be married 10 years in September and together they have two 9-year-old daughters, Olivia and Sarah. “I’m tickled to death to
hear them call me ‘Daddy’ because I was not daddy material in my younger days,” said Johnson, with his voice breaking and tears in his eyes. “I tell young fathers with struggles to love your child and love their mother. You can either raise your child or someone else will raise them for you.” Johnson was introduced to Living Free Ministries’ Tommy Wilson by a friend and that strengthened Johnson even more. He and Polly lead a Living Free class on Wednesday nights at Oakland Baptist Church and they both work side-by-side with Wilson and his wife, Marea, at Living Free. On this Father’s Day, Johnson is thankful his heavenly father was there to help him become an earthly father to his two daughters. “It’s not easy to get off drugs, but the best way to start is to ask Jesus for help,” he said.

installation. “I’m currently working on creating groups of interested people in Alcorn, Prentiss and Lee counties,” said Rushing. “Hopefully we can create a storyline of Rockabilly history for each county and possibly add historical signage along the route.” Rockabilly music was born in the early 1950s and has roots in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama. Several events happened all along Highway
45 where people would perform, Rushing said. “They would stop in Corinth, Booneville and Tupelo,” said Rushing. “People don’t realize the caliber of musicians who performed in Corinth at the coliseum and the courthouse throughout the 50s and 60s – many performing Rockabilly music.” Artists such as Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis popularized rockabilly, with some of these artists recording labels in Corinth and Booneville, added Rushing.
Selmer, Tenn., has embraced the Rockabilly Highway concept with signage and downtown murals. There is an annual Rockabilly Festival and the town even has a Rockabilly Cafe. “They have had success with bringing people from all over to see those murals,” Rushing said. “We would love to do something like that with the highway, where people could stop in Corinth and Booneville and see these beautiful wall murals.”

JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Education is firing a testing company, saying scoring errors raise questions about the graduation status of nearly 1,000 students statewide. The state Board of Education revoked a contract with NCS Pearson in closed session Friday, after the Pearson PLC unit told officials it used the wrong table to score U.S. history exams for students on track to graduate this spring. Students who did poorly got overly high scores, while those
who did better didn’t get enough credit. Associate Superintendent Paula Vanderford says it’s too soon to know how many students may have graduated or been denied diplomas in error, or what the state will do about either circumstance. Pearson spokeswoman Laura Howe apologized on behalf of the company and said Pearson is working to correct the scores. “We are disappointed by today’s board decision but stand ready to assist the state in any way possible,” she wrote in an email.
Thank You for your gift of any amount!
vices and Employment Security are giving money to launch the program. Turnage said the state aims to provide financial aid to people who are returning to school. The money could be used to cover remaining costs after returning students apply for other kinds of financial aid, or even be used to pay off debts that former students may still owe to colleges or universities. Turnage said the 158,000 people that universities and community colleges will target had left college in the last 15 years without completing their degrees.
Students typically study U.S. history in their third year in high school, and take the subject test that spring. Students who score poorly, though, can take the test up to three more times as a senior. The 951 students in questions were either seniors, or juniors scheduled to graduate early, and needed their scores to earn diplomas. The answers about graduating students will be tricky because students have different options to graduate. Formerly, every student had to pass each of Mississippi’s four subject tests in biology, his-
tory, algebra and English to earn a high school diploma. Now, students can fail a test and still graduate if class grades are high enough, they score well enough on other subject tests, they score above 17 on part of the ACT college test, or earn a C or better in a college class. Eventually, the tests will count for 25 percent of the grades in each subject About 27,000 students took the test overall. Vanderford said scores for each one will have to be verified. The exam scores also affect the grades that Mississippi gives to public schools and districts.
Trump goes from regal to rustic this weekend BY CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump chose simple over swanky this weekend. Nearly five months into his presidency, Trump flew for the first time Saturday to Camp David, the government-owned retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. A frequent weekend traveler, Trump has favored his palatial residences in Florida and New Jersey over the wooded hideaway used by many presidents for a break from Washington. Few expect the luxuryloving leader to make this a regular thing. After all, Trump told foreign newspapers earlier this year that Camp David was “very rustic” and “you know how long you’d like it? For about 30 minutes.” Trump’s wife, Melania; their son, Barron, and the first lady’s par-
Protected by the Marines as part of the Navy budget, Camp David has been utilized more by some presidents than others. By this point in their presidencies, Barack Obama had visited four times, George W. Bush 11 times and Bill Clinton twice, according to CBS News’ Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential travel. ents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, joined the president for the overnight at Camp David. Trump was scheduled to return to the White House on Sunday. Presidents have been going to the refuge about 70 miles from the White House for seven decades, and not always just for a rest. Franklin D. Roosevelt met with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill there in 1943,
reviewing plans for the invasion of Normandy. Jimmy Carter used it for peace talks between Egypt and Israel. George H.W. Bush’s daughter Dorothy, or “Doro,” got married there. “Everything that a president needs in the White House is built in there,” says Anita McBride, who was first lady Laura Bush’s chief of staff. “You have military support. You have a place to house
your staff if you chose to use it. It is immediately available. ... Within 20 minutes you can be there.” A short drive from the town of Thurmont, Maryland, Camp David covers more than 125 acres, with a cabin for the president and about a dozen cabins for guests. Guests can use tennis courts, a heated swimming pool, a bowling alley and a movie theater. For the golf-loving Trump, there is a single golf hole with multiple tees. Protected by the Marines as part of the Navy budget, Camp David has been utilized more by some presidents than others. By this point in their presidencies, Barack Obama had visited four times, George W. Bush 11 times and Bill Clinton twice, according to CBS News’ Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential travel.
Court: ‘JudgeCutie’ nickname doesn’t ruffle dignity BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — A Mississippi jurist can call herself “JudgeCutie” without ruffling the dignity of the legal profession. That’s what the Mississippi Supreme Court says, in one of its speediest decisions in years. Only two days after hearing arguments, the court — which often takes months for decisions — dismissed a complaint filed against Gay Polk-Payton. The Forrest County justice court judge
has gone by “JudgeCutie” on social media. The state Commission on Judicial Performance sought to reprimand her, saying she had used her job on the bench and the online persona to promote herself as a motivational speaker and musical entertainer. The commission complaint said Polk-Payton had expressed opinions online about her job as a judge, and it criticized her for wearing her judge’s robe on the cover of her book that was a compilation of her social media posts.
Open House
Sunday, June 18 1:00-3:00
During arguments to the Supreme Court, her attorney Oliver Diaz — himself a former state Supreme Court justice — pointed out that other Mississippi judges have used names that some might consider less than dignified. One was Noah “Soggy” Sweat, a circuit judge from 1966 to 1974. Randy Pierce, who left the Supreme Court, was known as Bubba. Diaz told The Associated Press he thinks the commission was unfairly singling out Polk-Payton for punishment because
she’s a woman. “It was a frivolous filing,” Diaz said of the commission’s complaint. Court papers say “Judge Cutie” is a play on the name of TV’s “Judge Judy.” Justices said they found “no violation of the Mississippi Code of Judicial Conduct” by Polk-Payton. Mississippi justice court judges are elected and generally work part time. They handle misdemeanor criminal cases, traffic offenses that occur outside city limits and civil claims of $3,500 or less.

Can Amazon persuade customers to purchase fresh groceries online? BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer
NEW YORK — Can Amazon, the company that persuaded people to buy ever more items online, win enough of them over to having their fresh groceries arrive in an Amazon box? Going full throttle into groceries by announcing a $13.7 billion deal for Whole Foods on Friday, Amazon gets the advantage of using the stores as mini-distribution hubs to deliver items to customers. But online delivery of groceries has been tough to pull off. Some shoppers worry about the quality of their produce and say they’re rather pick their pears themselves. Amazon, though its Prime benefits program has created strong loyalty, has a long way to go before it’s a default choice in groceries as it often is for books and electronics. And shoppers may be skittish about having Amazon take over one more element of their shopping experience. “It’s funny. I was just ordering something on Amazon,” said Nick Yezierski, a hotel manager who was eating breakfast outside the Whole Foods flagship store in Austin, Texas. “But I don’t really buy any home items on Amazon, not anything I put in my body.” Peter Belanger of Newington, Connecticut, who was shopping at a Whole Foods in West Hartford, said he didn’t think he’d be interested in groceries online. “Most of us like to see what we’re buying, and it’s a good store, but we just wouldn’t buy online,” he said. “That’s something that doesn’t seem to right to me, actually.” In Jackson, Mississippi, 59-year-old Deborah Sullivan says she does order some items online, but when it comes to clothes and food, she prefers to touch and feel the items. Her daughter Bethany Capels agrees and says she likes Whole Foods for the organic fruits she can serve her kids. “Consumers want to know what they’re getting and putting in their bodies,” said Madeline Hurley, a senior analyst at market research firm IBISWorld. “Books are lot more homogenous,” she said, noting that a hardcover Harry Potter book is the same at Amazon — though Amazon can sell it at a lower price. But shoppers could start to grow more comfortable buying, and Amazon sees the grocery business as a hot market because shoppers buy weekly or even more often for items they run out of. Walmart, which
Some shoppers worry about the quality of their produce and say they’re rather pick their pears themselves. Amazon, though its Prime benefits program has created strong loyalty, has a long way to go before it’s a default choice in groceries as it often is for books and electronics. And shoppers may be skittish about having Amazon take over one more element of their shopping experience. has the largest share of the U.S. grocery market, is ramping up its grocery services as a way to fuel online sales. Online grocery sales are expected to increase from $71 billion this year to $177 billion in 2022, according to John Blackledge, an analyst at Cowen & Co. So there’s lots of room to grow. Amazon has been dipping its toes in groceries since it launched its Amazon Fresh delivery service a decade ago in Seattle, and expanded it to California, New York, and the Philadelphia area. It took a different path from online competitors like Shipt, Instacart and Peapod, which use existing retailers to deliver groceries and avoid holding inventory. Amazon invested in refrigerated distribution centers to hold items. But it has been struggling to find a profitable model. Amazon also just launched two grocery pickups kiosks in Seattle that allow its Amazon Prime customers to buy online and pick things up in as little as 15 minutes instead of having them delivered. And grocery may take a middle path, says Kimberly Scott, a portfolio
manager at the Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund, which counts Whole Foods stock as one of its biggest investments. She’s skeptical that groceries will go purely online and thinks it’ll be more of a hybrid model, where people use a mix of online ordering, restaurants and traditional grocery stores. “Think about human nature and how most people deal with dinner,” she said. “People don’t
know what they’re having for dinner when they leave the office at the end of the day and don’t have it in the refrigerator.” How quickly items get delivered “is going to have to be improved considerably” for customers to order something online instead of going to the prepared-foods counter at the supermarket, she said. That was feeling of Taylor Malooly, 19, a University of Texas student at Whole Foods in Austin, who said a Whole Foods delivery service would have to be fast if he were to try it. Shoppers have plenty of options. The top 10 grocery retailers plus Amazon control less than half of the market, Blackledge says, and a patchwork of several hundred grocery chains, convenience stores, dollars stores as well as mom and pop stores make up the remainder.

Parents debate whether teens are ready to stay home alone D E A R ABBY: I’ve never written to you before, but I’m having a disagreement with my Abigail husband. We taking Van Buren are our daughter out of state Dear Abby to drop her off at college in August. Our twin 15-year-old boys will be starting high school at the same time. My husband thinks we can leave them home alone together for the five days and four nights we’ll be gone; I feel we should arrange to have them stay with friends. He says we can trust them, and he’s worried we’ll be putting a burden on our friends. I’d like to ask two different families to take them for two nights each. They are pretty responsible boys. I do trust them, but I still feel it’s a bad idea to leave them home alone for that period of time. What do you think? -- HOME ALONE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HOME ALONE: I agree with YOU. Your sons may be angels, but to leave two minors who are not yet in high school alone for that length of time would be irresponsible. Don’t do it. DEAR ABBY: My co-worker,
“Sara,” comes to work drunk. After I reported it to my supervisor, “Ben,” Sara stopped for a while, but now she has started again. Sara has not been doing her job correctly. Ben is now asking me to sign a statement about it. She is my best friend, and I don’t want to get her in trouble. But I’m scared that she’s going to get hurt at work or while driving. Please help! -- DANGER IN THE WORKPLACE DEAR DANGER: Your friend needs some kind of intervention. Some companies have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which might enable Sara to get the professional help she needs. An EAP is a voluntary, work-based program that offers free and confidential assessments, short-term counseling, referrals and follow-ups to employees who have personal and/ or work-related problems. Before you sign the statement, find out if your company offers this program and if your supervisor will make it available to Sara. Do not worry about getting her in trouble. She’s already in trouble, and this may be the solution. DEAR ABBY: A couple times a year I have lunch with an old friend. I recently ran into her at the store and noticed she now has very white teeth. They look great; however, they almost do not look like real teeth. We’re having lunch together next week, and I would like to compli-
ment her on her beautiful teeth but, if she now wears dentures or has implants, I don’t want to embarrass her. Would it be OK if I tell her I think her teeth look beautiful and pearly white, or should I keep quiet? -- PEARLY WHITES IN ARIZONA DEAR PEARLY WHITES: Your friend may have gotten dentures or implants, but she also could have simply had her teeth brightened by her dentist. If you want to compliment her, be a little more subtle than to mention her teeth. All you need to say is, “You know what? You’ve got a great smile!” If she wants to respond by giving you all the details, she will. If not, you will not have encroached upon her privacy. DEAR READERS: Allow me to wish a Happy Father’s Day to fathers everywhere -- birth fathers, stepfathers, adoptive and foster fathers, grandfathers, and all of those caring men who mentor children and fill the role of absent dads. I applaud you all. P.S. And once again, a big shout-out to dual-role moms. -LOVE, ABBY 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). If you go above and beyond anything asked of you, you will achieve it. Then you will be expected to achieve it regularly. Think carefully before you show off, as it might turn you into an indentured servant. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Not everyone is going to like the way you show up and declare yourself and make room to be you. If you have a few dissenters, it’s in no way a bad sign. In fact, it just might be a sign that you’re doing it right. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe some of the others can’t make up their minds, but you certainly can, and you will today. Don’t let anyone sway your choice. There will be no regrets when it’s yours and yours entirely. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The bird’s wing evolved to find the support of the air, and you have grown to find the support of those who can lift your spirits. Without them, it won’t work. Find
them before you launch. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unless you’re talking about a line at the grocery or a theme park, faster isn’t better. Furthermore, if you’re doing fast what should really be accomplished slowly, you’ll miss today’s big prize. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Curtains will open to a fresh setting, and you’ll delight in seeing some of your favorite people interact there. Truly, an environment can influence people in unexpected ways, bringing out new facets, highs and lows. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do you need an entourage? Would it benefit you to show up as more of an entity than a person? No. You’ll accomplish more as a lone wolf, free to move where the opportunities are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What puzzled you will be a mystery no longer. The solution, once revealed, seems like an inevitable one. You may wonder why you didn’t see it before or know it all along.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t worry about having enough time to accomplish your goal; you’ll get all you need, as long as you commit to making adequate use of all the time you’ve been given. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Cynicism goes with cowardice. The brave ones who know what it’s like to make a valiant effort and also to fail for a while before having any kind of success are usually not the cynics in the crowd. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Shakespeare suggested that a loan to a friend usually loses both the money and the friend. To be on the safe side, it’s better to give a gift to your loved one than anything you might want back later. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The current conceptions will be challenged. This is not, in and of itself, progress; however, no progress will be made without it. If you’re censoring yourself, it’s time to look at why -- and whether you really should be.

This empty plot of land on the corner of Fourth and Washington streets once was the home of the original Corinth YMCA — better known as simply “the Y.” The YMCA later moved to a new home on Webster Street in the late 1960s but that facility is virtually unused now although a local group of doctors and business people purchased the property a few years ago with intentions of reinventing the “Y” with a more Christian-themed focus. Those plans have yet to materialize.
Remembering the original Corinth YMCA BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
This article features thoughts, quotes and memories from several Corinth natives concerning their time spent associated with the original Corinth YMCA. It is by no means an exhaustive research article, that would take years. It is simply a sampling of a brief cross section of original Y members and workers as they remember when the Y began and was originally constructed in the 1940s. What once was a treasured home for Corinth youth over 70 years ago, is now simply an empty plot of land full of memories. The original Corinth YMCA structure was demolished and cleared last year after years of sitting dormant and collecting dust. It was chocked full of fond memories and stories of days-gone-by, so sit back and relax as you read what a few well-known and long-time Corinthians recall from their days at the corner of Washington and Fourth Streets. And while you’re at, it see if you can discern a common thread throughout the story. “It’s the place all the young people came together nearly every day,” said Corinth icon Bill Reid Jones. “Before the Y, it was a scouthood. It was the second home for a lot of Corinth young people. I was in the ninth grade when the Y started. I umpired a lot of games over there.” Jones went on to umpire a legion of games at the original YMCA and then later when it moved to its new home on Webster Street. He even has a field named in his honor. Most former Corinth High School students under the age of 80 also remember their days of walking or biking down to Reid’s store on the corner of Proper and Fifth just a block down from the old high school. The original Corinth YMCA had its beginnings about 1943
“There was nothing like spending the day over there. The atmosphere inside the old building was really nostalgic.” Mike Lewis when the Rev. Cliff Newman of the First Methodist Church realized the need for organized programs for local youth. What began as Friday Night get-togethers in the church fellowship house gradually progressed into fields of religion and recreation and soon was able to support its own executive secretary. A great deal of the Corinth YMCA’s early success formulated in the interest taken by a handful of interested citizens. Records show the first corporate charter was issued on June 6, 1944, and bore the name “Youth Educational Center, Inc.” Dr. Frank Davis was the first president while Dr. D.W. Hamrick served as the first vice president. Frank McAmis was the original secretary while Rev. W.C. Newman the first treasurer. O.R. Smith and D.M. Palmer Jr. were listed as the first directors. In September 1945, the
charter was amended to change the name of the corporation to the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Corinth, MS. The enthusiasm and generosity of these men has not only lasted through the years but has spread to scores of others. According to the records, some of the past executive secretaries were Margaret Smith, Charles Lentz, R.T. Bryant, Morris Reese, Bobby Wroten and Tom Rogers. Credit and thanks go to Mr. Rogers for providing the original charter and officers information. According to former Corinth sports standout and local businessman J.B. Darnell, there is a legend associated with the old baseball and football field at the original Y. “Pancho the dog is buried on that field,” Darnell exclaimed. “Pancho was a pug bulldog that practically lived at the old Y. He belonged to
Billy Linder. When that dog died, they buried him out in center field.” Coach Mike Lewis has fond memories of his days back at the old YMCA, too. “I started at the Y when I was 7,” Lewis remembered. “There was nothing like spending the day over there. The atmosphere inside the old building was really nostalgic. The doors were always open in the front and back and a breeze would blow through there. “During my days at the Y was when I started thinking about going into coaching as a career. And I wasn’t the only one in that boat. Several others who came through that old Y went on to coaching careers as well.” “It’s where I went every afternoon,” said Corinth native and former Y director Havis Hurley. “Back in those days, you could pretty much go anywhere in Corinth, but the Y is where all of us would meet up. We not only played outdoor sports like baseball and football, we had a lot of fun playing pool and ping-pong inside the Y building. “Me and Tony Briggs would Please see YMCA | 11A

This photo was taken from what would have been home plate back in the days of the original YMCA. With the old National Guard Armory as a backdrop players would virtually have to hit the ball across Third Street in the distance or simply “leg it out” to get a home run. There was no fence to hit the ball over although there was a small backstop behind home plate. Read the feature story to find out who’s buried in centerfield.

Corinth resident Billy Dawson built and painted these themed birdhouses from some of the old cypress wood he collected when the original Corinth YMCA was demolished last year. Dawson built about 30 of the birdhouses and still has several left at $15 a piece at his house on Jackson Street just around the corner from the old Y. Notice the detail and handiwork of some Corinth landmarks. He displays the houses on his front porch.

Still standing The original building that housed the National Guard Armory still stands on the old YMCA property and has housed the Bishop Center for years. The facility is named in honor of the late Corinth Mayor E.S. Bishop. Local youth who played sports like football and baseball back in the 1940s through the 1960s would sometimes use the old building to dress in although it had no heating or air and had a concrete floor as a base making it extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

help out by picking up cigarette butts and other trash off the grounds, and I earned money to attend a Christian-based camp in Durant, Mississippi during the summer. “Chick Reese (early Y director) meant so much to so many people and did a lot to help the kids in the community,” Hurley said. Local banker Hull Davis — whose father Dr. Frank Davis helped the YMCA get started in the first place — said: “Chick Reese was the first director I remember. Although it was segregated at that time, the Y was still the place everyone came to hang out and play. “A lot of lasting friendships came out of those days,” he said. “And back then, that baseball field seemed huge, but now when I drive by there it doesn’t seem very big at all.” According to Davis, today’s baseball uniforms are completely different than when he played at the original Y. “Our baseball uniforms were made out of wool,” he said. “They were hot and heavy. And I remember Mr. Reese could make bats last what seemed like forever. If a piece came off, he would glue it or tape it back on and we’d keep on using it.” Darnell has a similar memory. “I also remember that if we didn’t have a baseball handy we’d make some out of old rags,” Darnell said. “We’d roll a bunch of rags up together and put tape around them and knock them around.” Davis also has fond memories of making some of those lasting friendships mentioned earlier. “Being down at the old Y is where I first met John
and Steve Davis whose family moved here from Jackson,” Davis said. “Their daddy ran the old Wurlitzer plant. I also met and became good friends with Jimmy Whitehurst who later went on to have a successful baseball career at Delta State.” “We all grew up over at that old Y,” said Darnell. “I rode my bike over there when I was 10 and signed up for baseball for the first time. That’s where I got started. “The original four baseball teams were the Kiwanis, Rotary, Y-Men and Lions. I played for the Rotary. In the baseball league there when you were drafted onto a team you were always on that particular team. It wasn’t the same in football though,” Darnell continued. “And we used to use the old National Guard Armory as a dressing room for football, and it had concrete floors with no air at all. It was cold in there during the winter months and extremely hot in the summertime,” he said. The stories could go on and on for hundreds of pages with recollections and memories from the days of the old YMCA. There are hundreds of other names that could be mentioned in conjunction with the original Y, but these are offered as a sampling in hopes it brings back some good old memories from days gone by for those that still remain. Many from those days have passed from this life and they are remembered fondly by those that are still around. Again, special thanks goes to former Corinthian and Y member Tom Rogers for supplying some background information along with contact information for those mentioned in this article.

Thomas trails Harman by 1 at U.S. Open The Associated Press
ERIN, Wis. — Justin Thomas managed to stand out in a U.S. Open where par is going out of style. All it took was a 9-under 63, the lowest round to par in a major long known as the toughest test in golf. Thomas capped off his record day on the 667-yard 18th hole at Erin Hills with the prettiest 3-wood he ever hit, stopping 8 feet away on a green where some players struggled to land a wedge. He made the eagle to get his name in the record book Saturday. The lead, however, belonged to Brian Harman. Harman closed with two birdies and three tough pars for a 5-under 67 that gave him a oneshot lead at 12-under 204. “Yeah, 12 under, I’d have about a 10-shot lead in most Opens,” he said. Not this one. Not even close. Erin Hills again lacked enough wind to be the stern test the U.S. Open wants, and it showed. There were 18 rounds in the 60s on Saturday. Going into the final round, 42 players were still under par. “Usually when you shoot even in a U.S. Open and you’re one off the lead, you’re not six down afterward,” J.B. Holmes
said. In the 116 previous U.S. Opens, only six players had ever reached 10-under par or better, never in the same tournament. By the end of a wild and wide-open Saturday, five players were double digits under par. Brooks Koepka made three birdies over his last seven holes for a 68 and joined Thomas one shot out of the lead. Also at 11 under was Tommy Fleetwood, who was poised to take the lead until his pitch came up short, his next shot went 60 feet down a slope on the back of the 18th green and he turned potential birdie into bogey and settled for a 68. Rickie Fowler, on the verge of being left behind, rallied with three straight birdies and shot 68. He was 10 under, only two shots behind. “It’s going to be a really cool day for someone tomorrow,” Fowler said. “I’m looking forward to my shot at it. I’ve been there a handful of times and had some good finishes. But I’m looking forward to getting the job done.” Thomas finished in style, and it had nothing to do with his hot pink pants. He had 310 yards to the hole when he hit 3-wood that could have
led to big trouble if he went too far long or left. “Oh gosh, Jimmy, be good,” he said to caddie Jimmy Johnson when the ball was in the air, and it was close to perfect. Thomas poured in the eagle to become the 29th player with a 63 in a major championship. “The finish was awesome. I’d love to have another one of those,” Thomas said. He might need one at this rate. About all that save Erin Hills from another onslaught was a forecast for the strongest wind of the week. Regardless of the weather, it didn’t take long for the 24-year-old Thomas to understand the significance of his record round. “That means I’m a part of history,” he said. “It means I have a lot better chance to win the tournament than I did when the day started. I felt like I’ve been playing pretty well all week, and didn’t have quite the numbers to show for it. Obviously, today I definitely had something to show for it.” Thomas, a major away from joining the young elite in golf, only added to a year of low numbers. He made an eagle on his final hole at the Sony Open in January to shoot 59, and he went on to break the PGA Tour’s 72-hole scor-
ing record. The U.S. Open didn’t seem to faze him, and he delivered a variety of big shots that led to his sensational finish. He rolled in an 18-foot birdie putt on No. 5 from the edge of the green that broke so severely that he stood with his toes facing the hole and rapped the ball toward his left foot. It took a hard turn to the right and rolled in. In the hay left of the 12th fairway, he gouged it out with a 9-iron and watched it roll to 10 feet. And with the tees moved up on the 15th hole to make it reachable, Thomas hit a 3-wood that rolled off the back slope of the green to 6 feet. He two-putted for birdie, and he rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th. “It doesn’t matter how long, how whatever the course is,” Thomas said about the longest course in major championship history. “When you give us soft greens, good greens and not much wind, you know there are going to be some good scores. I was just happy that I was the one that was able to take advantage of it today.” But the work is not done. Of the five other playPlease see OPEN | 12A
Beavers rally to beat Fullerton in College World Series The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Adley Rutschman hit the tie-breaking single in the eighth inning, Jake Mulholland pitched 41/3 innings of no-hit relief and Oregon State came back from a four-run deficit to beat Cal State Fullerton
6-5 in the College World Series opener on Saturday. The Beavers (55-4) extended their winning streak to 22 games and will play Monday against the winner of the Florida State-LSU game Saturday night. The Titans (39-23)
have lost eight straight CWS games over five appearances. Mulholland (7-1) settled things down for the Beavers after Fullerton had taken a 5-1 lead against unbeaten national wins leader Jake Thompson, who lasted 32/3 innings in
his shortest outing of the season. The Beavers tied it with four runs in the sixth inning, and Rutschman put them ahead with his single up the middle off Blake Workman (6-3). Drew Rasmussen pitched the ninth for his second save.

Tishomingo County youth enjoy Northeast camp BY BLAKE LONG Northeast Sports Information
BOONEVILLE — The Northeast Mississippi Community College’s women’s basketball team opened its busy summer with a skills camp for middle school athletes from June 7-9 inside historic Bonner Arnold Coliseum. The three-day event was open to any girl in the fifth-througheighth grades. Several experienced area coaches aided Lady Tigers head coach Brenda Mayes in providing quality instruction to the campers. Members of past and future Northeast hoops teams, including the 2016-17 edition that was the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North Division runner-up, were in attendance as well to help direct the different drills. Those that were present refined their fundamentals in order to establish proper playing habits. The development of the mental aspect of the sport was also an emphasis of the camp. Girls specifically had the opportunity to work on ball handling, dribbling, shooting, passing, defense and other essential techniques while participating in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Campers were also pitted against each other on multiple occasions with a set of scrimmages and various competitions that put the routines that they

They are Northeast player Cherelle Jones of Grand Junction, Tenn., Cloie Lambert of Burnsville, Lexi of Burnsville, Braley Sparks of Burnsville and Northeast women’s head coach Brenda Mayes. were taught to the test in a competitive environment. The ideals of sportsmanship, leadership and citizenship were routinely discussed by Mayes, who has been recognized for an outstanding career built upon those characteristics with induction into the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA), MACJC and Northeast Sports Hall of Fames. Attendance for the Lady Ti-
gers’ initial camp of the year, which was dedicated to helping area children enhance their capabilities on the hardwood, was exceptional once again. Next up on the calendar for Northeast is its annual elementary school skills camp from June 23-24. The Lady Tigers close their summertime full of fun from July 16-19 with a session specifically for high school athletes.
Registration remains open for both upcoming camps with information available on the award-winning www.nemccathletics.com. Cost for the elementary school camp is $40 while the high school camp is either $125 for day campers or $145 for those wishing to stay overnight on campus. The Lady Tigers bolster one of the top resumes in the entire country with a national cham-
pionship, three National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 23 titles and 10 MACJC state crowns over their illustrious history.

JACKSON — The cost of renovating the University of Mississippi’s baseball stadium is going up. The state College Board on Thursday approved increasing spending at Swayze Field from by nearly $900,000 to $19.8 million. In documents presented to trustees, Ole Miss said costs have gone up because of unforeseen utility expenses, and because the university will spend more on technology and fitness
equipment for player training facilities. The project will also include a field level club, more box seating, a rooftop plaza and realignment of the left field terrace. Completion is scheduled for next year. Spending is projected to increase $2.3 million, but Ole Miss will drain $1.4 million from the project’s contingency fund. Ole Miss will pay for the project by borrowing $18.5 million and using $1.3 million in athletic revenue.

Gloria Keith now offers line dancing classes at the American Legion in Corinth.
Students learn country line dancing BY ROGER FOSTER For the Daily Corinthian
H
istory tells us Country Line Dancing evolved from the old “Contra” dances that were very popular in the New England States from the early 1800s. Gloria’s Country Line Dance has not been in Iuka since the 1800s. However, Gloria Keith and Cecil McBride have been providing professional country line dance for over 10 years in Iuka. I’m sure many folks in Iuka have never heard of Gloria’s Country Line Dance Class and that is simply because Gloria doesn’t brag about her accomplishments. However, Judy and I have decided it is time to recognize this local treasure. Since Gloria started
teaching Country Line Dance more than 10 years ago, it is estimated that she has taught well over 500 students from Iuka and surrounding communities. If you visit her webpage at: www.gloriaslinedance. com you will begin to understand the significant economic development contribution her students have made to this community. Additionally, by visiting Gloria’s webpage you can watch her dancers at many events and even learn some of the dances she teaches. I spent a career in the military teaching instructors and I can tell you Gloria Keith is a natural instructor. She possesses all the characteristics and traits of a dedicated instructor. She is a selfless person whose love for her
For more information be sure to visit Gloria’s webpage at: www. gloriaslinedance.com students and the honor of teaching them is the most important thing in her life. She never brags on herself but will never pass up the opportunity to brag on her students both past and present. Here are just a few of the firsts that Gloria’s Country Line Dancers have accomplished for this community. Her class was the first to dance at and support our local nursing and retirement homes; she also was the first Country Line Dance class to entertain at many local events such as: Relay for Life, Iuka Heritage Days, Burnsville Waterway Festival, Tishomingo State Park
Dulcimers’ Festival, Tishomingo County Republican events and the list goes on. Gloria Keith has taught over 160 different County Line Dances and she never seems to tire. Her love for teaching Country Line Dance is only matched by the love and respect she has for all of her students. Gloria has never thought it was necessary to brag so Judy and I have decided to recognize her for being a vital part of this area. When I speak of the economic development aspects of what her class accomplishes for this community I’m pointing out
that many of her students come from Alabama and Tennessee, she has even provided instruction to visitors waiting to have their RV’s worked on in Belmont. By bringing people to Iuka, she helps to introduce visitors to our great community and of course they all visit our local businesses. Gloria Keith and Cecil McBride work together to provide the best Country Line Dance instruction possible for this community and will continue to serve this community with their professional Country Line Dance instruction for many years to come. So, if you’re interested in receiving excellent instruction from two people who are dedicated to teaching you the latest Country Line Dance steps Gloria’s Country Line Dance is
right for you. If you’re interested in learning professional Country Line Dance be sure to come to the American Legion every Monday night in Iuka from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Gloria’s County Line Dance is also offered in Corinth on Tuesday nights at the American Legion from 6 p.m.to 8 p.m. The first hour or more is dedicated to beginners in both places through-out the year. If you’re a new beginner be sure to join us any time. Her classes continue to grow so come out and “kick up your heals” and start a new adventure of Country Line Dancing which is good for you physically and mentally.

Book offers peak behind mortuary doors for readers BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“The Chick and the Dead: Life and Death Behind Mortuary Doors” by Carla Valentine c.2017, St. Martin’s Press $25.99 / 304 pages Everybody has a story to tell. It might start with a rough childhood, or an event that left a lifelong impression; an influential mentor, or a span of adult years and a change of heart. However that tale opens, there’s always more to it. In “The Chick and the Dead” by Carla Valentine, you’ll also see that every body has a story to tell, too. At a time when most little girls are thinking of becoming princesses someday, Carla Valentine knew she wanted to work in a mortuary. It wasn’t because she was fascinated with the macabre -- although as a child, she did hold funerals for roadkill. No, she had witnessed the death of her beloved grandfather when she was small, and it led to questions that adults didn’t answer. A few years later, as the teenage babysitter for a U.K. mortician, she learned that the dead could offer the answers themselves.
Valentine tried to choose another career path, but not even college deterred her from working with the dead which, she decided, was a satisfying way to make a living. Mid-university, she found a part-time position in a mortuary and began studying to become an APT (assistant pathology technician) which, she explains, differs in responsibilities and legalities from that of many others who work in the death industry. APTs in the United Kingdom are tasked with removing organs for donation, for instance. They assume some of the duties that North American funeral directors do, especially for the littlest bodies. They tend to work closer with families of the deceased, than with officers of the law. The work of an APT is also nothing like it’s portrayed on TV. There are no wriggly larvae on the floor of TV autopsy rooms. Pathologists on crime dramas wear minimal protective clothing, which can lead to unhappy circumstances in real life. Television crimes are solved in a neat hour, minus commercial time. And unlike all the King’s Men, an APT can put suicidal Humpty together

again… The very first thing you need to know about “The Chick and the Dead” is that it’s filled with Britticisms. That’s likely not going to cause problems with enjoying it, but it does bear mentioning. The second thing you need to know is that this probably isn’t anything you want to read with lunch. Author Carla Valentine can tell a gruesome tale, complete with body fluids, unsavory bits, and unpleasant accidents, and she’s specific in her details. Properly warned, you’re in for a good read: Valentine lets many of the questions you’ve had about various processes R.I.P., and she does it good-naturedly and with a touch of humor. Illustrative stories will help you to understand further, and she lends a personal touch to her book with both painful and poignant memories shared. If you’re easy-queasy, beware. Without strong curiosity and a stronger stomach, you may not be able to handle what’s in here. Still, though it’s gutsy in the most literal sense, “The Chick and the Dead” is a great story told.
