Community exceeds goal for Bishop Park

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

The community came through as it met — and even exceeded — its mission to raise $30,000 in 30 days to do something special for area children.

The project was announced at a meeting held at John Street Community Center last month by C.A.R.E. Advisory Board member Orma Smith. He unveiled plans for a project which would install a much-needed new playground at E.S. Bishop Memorial Park.

The project’s estimated cost is $45,000 and the C.A.R.E. Foundation seeded the fundraising with a check for $15,000, which Smith had said was the “second single biggest check C.A.R.E.’s ever written.”

The C.A.R.E. Board member emphasized that enthusiasm for the project within the community would be essential and community members would need to be willing to ask their family members, friends and churches to help contribute to the project.

Smith then gave the community a mission — to come up with another $30,000 in 30 days.

The donations are still coming in, but Smith reported over the weekend that the community donations to date have exceeded the original challenge by $5,000.

With the overage, Smith said they would seek to add an additional pavilion to the park. He encouraged people to continue donating as new picnic tables and grills will be needed for the pavil-

“I have to say I agree with what Kim Ratliff said during the project’s kickoff when he said, ‘I think E.S. Bishop is smiling down on us.’ As I have gotten to know more about Mr. Bishop, I am so happy to see this park being restored to a condition more worthy of bearing his name.”

The community accomplished its mission by raising $30,000 in 30 days to install a new playground at E.S. Bishop Memorial Park. The community exceeded its goal by at least $5,000 and organizers said they intend to use the extra funds to build an additional pavilion at the park.

Martin remains a young man on mission

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Austin Robert Martin is happy to be a man on a mission.

A May graduate of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, the 2013 Corinth High School graduate recently enjoyed a visit to the city before reporting to the Basic Officer Leadership Course in Ft. Lee, Va., on July 9. After four months there, he heads to his first duty station in Ft. Stewart, Ga. He

is commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army within the ordnance branch.

He is ready to be in the field.

“I have a lot of people who come up to me and say, ‘I pray you don’t get deployed,’ “ said Austin. “ ‘I hope you don’t have to go into that godforsaken part of the world.’ But I spent four years in the classroom just talking about it. I’m ready to get out there and do something. All of my classmates are just chomping at

the bit, ready to get out there and do something. That’s what we’re meant to do.”

the skies cleared, 10 contestants, including seven world-ranked professional Major League Eaters, chowed down on Corinth’s signature sandwich.

MLE emcee Sam Barclay hyped the wet crowd prior to the event, which was moved from the normal entertainment stage to the garden. Barclay allowed attendees to move closer than ever, less than two feet from the front of the eating table to witness the championship.

After the 10-minute competition, it was Chestnut who put away 35 slugburgers to capture the world title for the third consecutive year and $1,500 in cash.

He won last year by devouring 41 slugburgers, which are served traditionally on a hamburger bun with mustard, pickles and onion.

Although happy to win,

Chestnut had hoped for a better result.

“I’ve been traveling so much lately – going to contest after contest, so I wasn’t able to prep like I have in the past,” said the San Jose, Calf., native.

“Next year, I’ll definitely improve.”

Fifth-ranked world eater Geoffery Esper finished second after downing 33 slugs.

“It was closer than I thought it should have been,” added Chestnut.

“I thought I was moving faster than he was, but evidently I wasn’t.”

A Oxford, Mass., native, Esper walked away with $750.

Earlier this week, both eaters participated in the MLE Hooters World Wing Eating Championship in Las Vegas. Esper devoured 250 wings in 10 minutes, breaking the world record of 241 wings set by Chestnut in 2015.

Chestnut also won the

annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest earlier this month in New York City after downing a recordbreaking 72 dogs.

Gideon Oji, ranked sixth in the world, fin-

ished third Saturday with 22 slugburgers eaten. He’ll leave Corinth with $500. Fourth place went to MLE newcomer Michael Whities, who downed 16. He received $250 in winnings.

Fifth place was 24th ranked Matt Cohen, who ate 13.5, while Matthew Raible finished sixth with 10 slugburgers put away.

Seventh place went to William “Wild Bill” Myers, who ate eight and a

half.

Three local competitors entered the contest.

Jeff Stark respectfully finished eighth after eating six-and-three-quarters, Josh Hudson finished ninth eating six, and Taylor Coombs finished last eating a little more than three slugburgers.

Stark had hoped to eat 10 slugs this year, but came up short after he changed his eating habits a day before the contest.

“Last year I tried fasting and was only able to eat five, so I thought I would try a different method this year,” he said. “I have treated the last two days like normal days. Last night I even had hamburgers.”

The world record was set by Matt “Megatoad” Stonie in 2014 when he ate 43 slugburgers. Stonie did not return to Corinth this year.

Presented by Main Street Corinth, the eating contest has become the highlight of the annual Slugburger Festival which turned 30 this year.

But as he got into the process, which requires congressional nominations, Martin began to feel it was the right path.

He learned of his acceptance into the academy less than two months before his reporting date.

It was a life-changing experience.

“My gears were ground to powder,” said Martin.

“West Point has a way of finding what you’re bad at it and testing you on it until you fail and making you get better at it.”

A grueling schedule and studies in economics kept him going at all hours, often with no more than two hours of sleep per night. Now, he always wants to be doing some-

thing constructive.

“I have to be working out,” he said. “I have to be reading. I have to be bettering myself in some way or another.”

Martin did indulge in a little bit of leisure during the summer, spending a month traveling in Europe and the U.S. with classmates. On June 30, while in Corinth, he enjoyed lunch with Mayor Tommy Irwin and several other locals.

“He’s a fine young man,” said Irwin, who has proudly watched Martin’s progress. “Our country is in good shape with people like Austin.”

The serviceman has a minimum five-year duty commitment, but he could be at the dawn of a long military career.

“If I get to the fiveyear mark, the eight-year mark, and I love it, I’m going to stay in for life,” said Martin.

said during the project’s kickoff when he said, ‘I think E.S. Bishop is smiling down on us.’ As I have gotten to know more about Mr. Bishop, I am so happy to see this park being restored to a condition more worthy of bearing his name,” he said.

The park was named for E.S. Bishop, the first black mayor of Corinth. In fact, at the time of his death in 1996, it was reported that Bishop was Mississippi’s only black mayor ever elected in a white majority town.

In an article about Bishop’s funeral, which written for the Daily Corinthian by Tom Wilemon, published Monday,

April 8, 1996, and posted online courtesy of M.L. Sandy, Wilemon quoted E.S. Bishop’s son, educator Dr. Harold L. Bishop.

“Corinth, Miss., is a kinder, gentler place,” Dr. Bishop said. “You did that for this family. I would like for you to continue that because this is indeed a unique community.”

Tupelo Five firefighters assist in plane crash debris search TUPELO — Five members of the Tupelo Fire Department left well before dawn Friday to assist in the search of the debris field of a downed Marine transport plane, reported the Daily Journal.

A KC-130 was traveling from North Carolina to Arizona when it apparently developed problems at altitude. Witnesses reported an explosion before the massive plane spiraled into the ground near US 82 near the Leflore-Sunflower county line.

The 15 Marines and one Navy sailor died in the crash. “I got a call from the Task Force 1 team leader that he

Joe’s Shoes

needed folks to pound the ground Friday,� said Tupelo Fire Chief Thomas Walker. “They were looking for folks certified in overland search and rescue. “It’s one of the things we train for as part of the task force. About a month and a half ago, I sent guys down to Meridian for a refresher course. They left here at 4:30 in the morning and had to be at the site at 7.

They will probably work for nine hours and then come home. It will be a long day.�

The firefighters were scheduled to search the flat expanse of soybean fields west of Itta Bena where the plane crashed.

There are two main impact areas about a mile apart, one north and one south of the four-lane highway. Leflore County Sheriff Ricky Banks said the debris is spread over 2-3 square miles of farmland.

Tuscumbia Courthouse to present Tomato Sandwich Day TUSCUMBIA, Ala. — Lovers of fresh tomatoes enjoyed a treat Friday while donating to a good cause, reported the TimesDaily.

It was Tomato Sandwich Day at Colbert County Courthouse.

Long tables with chairs were set up under white tents on the courthouse grounds. Local farmers provided the tomatoes and even had some for sale for those who wanted to take some home.

Donations were accepted for the Colbert County 4-H and 4-H Animal Sciences programs. Tomato Sandwich Day was sponsored by the Colbert extension office. Â

Tupelo Victim in armed robbery arrested for child abuse TUPELO — Arsenio Banks was arrested by the Tupelo Police Thursday night on child abuse charges, reported WTVA. The same agency responded to a report of him being robbed at gunpoint Wednesday near Wilson Street.

Banks says he was sitting on his porch, holding his 10-month-old baby when the robbery happened.

He says he chased the suspects, who then shot at him.

The Tupelo Police searched the area looking for possible

suspects. So far, no arrests have been made.

A spokesperson for the Tupelo Police Department would not confirm if the charges were related to Wednesday’s armed robbery. Â

Aberdeen Two charged in Wisconsin arrested at car wash ABERDEEN — A convicted felon and a woman from Wisconsin are behind bars in Monroe County, reported WTVA. Sheriff Cecil Cantrell said Craig Lee Knoyles, 39, and Monique Lee Williams, 38, were found working at the Aberdeen police chief’s car wash. “I guess they thought just because they got in trouble in one state that nobody would find that out down here,� said the sheriff.

Cantrell arrested the pair after getting a tip they were working at the business. Police Chief Henry Randle says he owns the car wash but does not directly pay the workers.

Knoyles is wanted in Wisconsin for breaking his parole and is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Williams was charged by Monroe County for falsifying information to a law enforcement officer.

Williams was charged in Wisconsin in 1995 for attempted homicide, got out of prison and went back to prison for carrying a weapon.

News of the arrests comes as a surprise to local residents.

According to Cantrell, there’s possibly another man wanted in the area.

The sheriff says Wisconsin authorities will pick Knoyles and Williams up by the weekend. Â

Tupelo Installation underway on park court covers TUPELO — Work remains underway to construct covers over the basketball courts at Gumtree Park in Tupelo, reported the Daily Journal.

The covers won’t completely enclose the courts but will provide protection from sun and rain and will feature lights as well.

Wilco Services is the designated contractor, with project costs expected to run approximately $260,000.

It’s time women are ‘Ready to Run’

BY LYNN FITCH State treasurer

One hundred sixty nine years ago, on July 19, 1848, a group of 200 women got together in Seneca Falls, New York, to convene the first-ever women’s rights convention. They drafted and approved a Declaration of Sentiments, rooted in the same natural law as the American Declaration of Independence, but with a female twist.

Some of their grievances echoed those of the colonists. Taxation without representation became she is compelled “to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.” Others addressed very specific issues, such as the subservient position of women under divorce, property, and employment laws. Of course, at its very top, the Declaration noted that women were never able to exercise “her inalienable right” to vote.

But, it is the overall thrust of the document that was and still is important: Women have a voice and want to use it to contribute to political discourse.

I often speak to high school and college aged women about leadership. Without fail, they all shake their heads when I tell them that Mississippi was the very last state to ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote. There is a collective gasp when I tell them that Mississippi did not ratify it until 1984, more than sixty years after it became a part of the Constitution on Aug. 18, 1920.

They are disappointed, but not surprised. They see what the rest of us do: Very few women in leadership positions in public service in our great State. Mississippi is one of only two states in the nation to have never sent a woman to Washington, D.C., to represent us in the national arena. We have never had a female governor either. In fact, throughout our twohundred-year history, only four women have been elected to statewide office — and two of those women, myself included, are serving right now.

Moreover, Mississippi ranks 46th in the nation for the proportion of women in our legislature.

Women make up less than 14 percent of today’s Mississippi Legislature. At our peak, women represented almost 18 percent in 2013. But, it has only been since 1993 that we even made it into double digits. Our representation in office hardly reflects the fact that women make up 51.5 percent of our population.

As our elected leaders consider important issues that impact our daily lives today and well into the future, women’s perspectives add an important dimension to the debates. A 2016 study of women in the Canadian public service found that women even bring a different style of leadership, one that is less hierarchical and more inclusive, as well.

That is why I am so pleased that the Stennis Center for Public Service is bringing a Ready to Run program to Mississippi. Ready to Run is a non-partisan campaign training program that encourages and trains women to get involved in public service.

They help women understand the nuts and bolts of running for office themselves or running other people’s campaigns. They also help women find the path to getting appointed positions or becoming involved in civic life other ways.

At a time when people are increasingly skeptical that bipartisanship can exist, Ready to Run is bringing together a variety of women leaders in Mississippi politics from both Parties for its August 19th program. And, that program is jointly sponsored by both the Mississippi Republicans and Mississippi Democrats. In every aspect, Ready to Run seems a very natural project for the Stennis Center, which was established to promote public service as “a noble calling” and “foster relationships” in public life.

Much like the women who met at Seneca Falls 169 years ago, women are not monolithic in what we believe or what issues we prioritize. We are just as much individuals when it comes to our thoughts and values as men are. But, we undoubtedly have different life experiences that can enrich the public debate.

Encouraging women to run for office and seek a more prominent role in public life is good for our State today. More importantly, it will have a snowball effect on female leadership in Mississippi tomorrow as more young women find role models in our elected and appointed leaders.

I hope that one day when I tell young women that Mississippi ratified women’s suffrage the same year that Footloose – the Kevin Bacon original version — was out in theaters, they will laugh because they just cannot imagine a time when Mississippi was so slow to include women in public life.

(Lynn Fitch is Treasurer of the State of Mississippi, first elected in 2011 and re-elected in 2015.)

Prayer For Today My Father, help me to learn through kindness and tenderness the value of self-control. Help me in the moods of jealousy and impatience, that I may not cause others unhappiness by words or deeds. Teach me how to overcome the ways that keep me discontented, that I may have a brighter speech. Amen.

Americans’ issue with entering, exiting

BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist

We will never figure out health care, Medicaid and most of our country’s issues until we learn how to enter and exit buildings.

For years now I have witnessed average America’s issue with doors.

Almost every day I will encounter someone who doesn’t understand how to open a door. For example if I am entering a building that has a double door, one to enter and one to exit, someone inevitably will always exit the door I am entering while I am trying to enter the door. Instead of opening their door which would be the door on their right or my left, they stand staring at me as if I am supposed to stop and not enter through my door but hold my door open so they can exit from my door.

I believe in being courteous but I can’t figure out why so many people want to be discourteous to me. I have a door to enter and they have a door to exit. I am opening my door and they simply can open their door to exit. Instead, time and again they stand as if they are incapable or just too lazy to open their own door and expect me to hold my door pen for them to exit instead of me entering through my door.

I see this on the flip side. Often when exiting a building someone

who should be entering from the door on the left will see me opening my door on the right and instead of entering through their door will stand as if they are incapable of opening their door and will just barge on through the the door I have opened to exit.

This is all terribly uncouth and people need to learn to open their own door. Usually if someone is entering a building and they are right behind me I open the door and motion for them to go ahead in front of me. I feel that is the polite thing to do. If I am exiting a building I am happy to step aside and let someone who is right behind me go first or even the door for him or her. If someone opens the door for me I am grateful and thank him or her for the courtesy.

I just can’t understand people who barge through a door that someone else may have opened to enter or exit. They act as if it is their American right to be rude and crude to just come on through the door someone else has opened and that the person opening the door should just stand and hold it open for them.

Maybe you haven’t experienced this. I hope you aren’t one of these door offenders because it’s really inconsiderate of you if you are.

Some Americans have been taught that this is acceptable and is

the American way to get ahead. Simply barge, push ahead, break line and do whatever is necessary. Manners, courtesy and politeness are old fashion. Often I find myself standing watching someone as they dart through the door I am entering or exiting because they simply did not want to open the other door. Usually I stand there and think, “Another idiot doesn’t know how to open a door,” as they dart through mine without even a thank you but an obvious expectation that someone is simply expected to hold the door open for them.

This kind of mindset may get you in the door or through the door but it’s as far as it will get you. It won’t get you invited to dinner and I wouldn’t want to hire anybody like this who conducts them selves this way.

Don’t barge through the door when other people are coming through the door. Use your own door to enter or exit. This is why these doors are installed.

One of the first steps to solving many of America’s problems is learning how to enter and exit. After this it will all be down hill.

“Hello, my fine, good friend Ray…” —Monsoor Abisloo ROLLING FORK — Until the bizarre little guy who apparently makes daily life a living hell for everyone except his family (the members of which he doesn’t have killed, that is) in North Korea moved up several notches on the nuts with nukes nightmare hierarchy, there was pretty much unanimous agreement that Iran was at the top of that potential radicals with radiation rating.

And everybody considered an expert on things worldly still thinks Iran represents one of the great troublemakers on the planet and is generally about as stable as nitroglycerin in a ‘56 Ford pickup on any street in Jackson.

But that wasn’t always the case.

Until the religious zealots took over there and the subsequent hostage crisis, the U.S. and Iran were on pretty good terms and had quite an active student exchange program between the two countries.

Which leads me to the only Iranian individual I have known on any kind of personal basis, and who, in no way dovetails into the image that most Americans probably have of those folks.

It was 1970, the second semester of my freshman year at the University of Mississippi and thanks to a then not at all unusual screwup in the housing office of that austere institution, I walked into a dorm room to find a guy in a Navy uniform, on his knees, head down, facing the window.

Being most agile of mind in those days, I quickly deduced: “Hmm… don’t think that’s John.” And it wasn’t. John, who like I, thought we would be rooming together that semester, was at that moment getting

a similar surprise in another room across campus.

I started to say something, didn’t, and then quickly arising and fairly sprinting toward me with his hand out, the non-John person said “HELLO, my name is Monsoor Abisloo…”

Oh, good, I thought. This was going to be fun.

I shook his hand and introduced myself and this fellow just kept pumping my hand as if he thought water might start coming out of my mouth in a minute. “You are to be here with me, no? Oh, very good, my fine new friend,” he said with what was pretty hard not to understand as genuine glee.

“Well,” I started to say something like, “hold on,” but it was at that instant that the French part of my French-English ancestry kicked in to cause me something of a linguistic dilemma. This fellow just told me his name was “Monsoor Abisloo,” which is a whole lot like “Monsier Abisloo,” so was he telling me he was Mr. Abisloo or Mr. Abis Loo? What the hell did I call this guy and what offense might he take if I got it wrong?

“Well, Abis,” I said, “nice to meet you.”

To which he said, warmly, genuinely, and without drawing a large curved knife, “No, my friend Ray. Monsoor is not a title, it is my name.

My name is Monsoor Abisloo, but I will call you Mr. Mosby, if you like.”

Oh, good. Turned into an idiot by the foreign dude.

And that made me smile and after getting the name thing settled, I excused myself for a moment to enjoy a totally wasted discussion of my Daddy’s hard-earned money with a genuine moron in the housing office, after which I settled in for what would prove to be my brief, but memorable Life-With-Monsoor period.

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

Monsoor was one of those exchange students studying Navy ROTC for what he later let me know was his prescribed would be naval officer career. As it turned out, he, too, was supposed to have had another roommate, but like me was told by the dope working there that it would be at least a month before the two needed forms to fix things could be changed.

So I said to myself, “What the hell?” A week or two couldn’t hurt; this guy was in a strange place where he didn’t know a soul. Besides, he’d been the first person in my life to ever call me “Mr. Mosby.”

And you know what? Monsoor turned out to be the most thoughtful, most considerate roommate I ever had. He studied diligently but had problems with some of the intricacies of English and I helped him out with that because he would keep telling me with just a hint of desperation in his voice how important it was for him to make good grades “because of his family back home.”

I could translate what that meant and so I wrote some papers for him and he did my college algebra — a good deal for both of us — and in the process a very strange thing happened. We became friends.

After the housing thing got straight, whenever one of us would see the other on campus there were waves and more often than not a shouted “HELLO, my good friend Ray.” So, invariably when I read news of Iran, I can’t help but think of Monsoor and how countries can be bad when their peoples are not. And I know that had we ever gotten into a shooting war with Iran, I wouldn’t have shot Monsoor and he wouldn’t have shot me.

DuBard educator retires after 41 years Tiny Miss Historic Corinth competes in state pageant

BY ELLEN CIURCZAK

At a glance

The Hattiesburg American

HATTIESBURG— Maureen Martin’s job as a speech-language pathology student at the University of Southern Mississippi in the early 1970s was as typist for Etoile DuBard, director of what was then called the School for Preschool Deaf and Aphasic Children. Little did Martin know — on June 30, 2017 — she would herself retire as director of the DuBard School for Language Disorders.

From her humble beginnings as student typist to her first job at the school in 1975 as a speech-language pathologist, through a stint as assistant director and on to director, Martin has never looked back.

“One of the joys about being here, there was then and always has been, something new to grow and develop,” she said.

“Much teamwork, much camaraderie.

“We had a good program that had so much potential and all of the staff and Dr. (Etoile) DuBard were always looking for ways to reach more children and university students.”

Started with the help of the university, United Way and private donors, the DuBard School has been assisting children with severe language and speech disorders, including dyslexia and hearing impairments, since 1962.

Martin has been part of

Maureen Martin Age: 63 ■ City of residence: Hattiesburg ■ Education: Bachelor’s and Master’s, speechlanguage pathology, University of Southern Mississippi; Ph.D., psychology — speech-language pathology research, National University of Ireland ■ Employment: 41 years at DuBard School as speech language pathologist, 1975-85, assistant director, 1985-89, and director, 1989-2017 ■

blow to your program.

“I knew we needed to grow to be more stable.”

The school now boasts an enrollment of 80 fulltime and 25 part-time students with a staff of 35 people. It’s also housed in its own $3 million building, still on the Southern Miss campus.

Martin, with the help of the school’s advisory board and the USM Foundation, raised 80 percent of the money for that building from funds donated by several foundations, charities and individuals, including the Kelly Gene Cook Foundation. And she’s willing to do more in retirement.

“The building was built for a second floor,” she said. “We need the space badly for direct services to children and (teacher) professional development.

“I will be available if they need me.”

Development coordinator Wes Brooks has no doubt Martin will be only a phone call or email away. Having worked with her for eight years,

the school for 41 years.

Shirley Hammond, business and administration assistant, has worked with Martin for more than seven of those years.

“There’s no problem big or small that she doesn’t find herself assisting if needed,” Hammond said.

“I came from a place where we addressed our bosses as Mr. or Mrs., so I called her Dr. Martin and she told me to call her simply Maureen. She doesn’t like to be called boss.”

When Martin first started, the school served only three students in a small room on the Southern Miss campus. By the time she became assistant director, the school had grown to more than 30 students, but still had only three to four employees.

“We had very little infrastructure (either in) the building or staff,” Martin remembered. “It was a huge challenge because we needed to grow the school so its existence did not depend on one person. If you lose one person that’s a significant

Apartment fire victim recalled as talented, caring Associated Press

HONOLULU — A Hawaiian Airlines in-flight manager called his brother as smoke filled his 26th-floor apartment in Honolulu before he and his mother lost their lives in the blaze, the man’s brother said.

Pearl City Community Church Pastor Phil Reller told The Honolulu Star-Advertiser that police confirmed that two of the three victims killed in the blaze Friday are his mother and brother.

Reller told the newspaper he received a call from his brother, Britt Reller, 54, saying he had been taking a shower when he smelled the smoke. He rushed out but was unable to get to their 85-year-old mother, Melba Jeannine Dilley. He had crawled under a bed and wasn’t heard from again, his brother told the newspaper.

Britt Reller had worked as an in-flight manager for Hawaiian Airlines for two years. In an emailed statement to The Associated Press on Saturday, Robin Sparling, vice president of in-flight services at the airline, said Reller “was a talented manager and caring co-worker and we will miss him terribly. Our hearts are with Britt’s brother, Phil, and his entire family.”

The fire broke out in a unit on the 26th floor, where all three of the dead were found, Fire Chief Manuel Neves said.

The building is not required to have fire sprinklers, which would have confined the blaze to the unit where it started, Neves said.

he finds that a comfort.

“The level of empathy she is able to show is really something else,” he said. “She is conscious of everything.

“I mean, before she moves forward with something, whether it be a child’s care or advising a parent or grandparent, she considers what’s best. And it’s also what’s best for the people who work here and everybody she deals with personally and professionally.”

With Martin’s retirement, Michele Schraeder, professional development coordinator, will take over as interim director.

Martin has good memories of her time at DuBard and said she has learned a thing or two during her many years there.

“I hope I’ve grown in my appreciation for all of the partnerships that have made it possible for the DuBard School to have a vision and I am grateful beyond words to all, especially the university, because they have allowed us to do this wonderful work.”

diately placed in isolation, said Caldwell. He has since been transported from Alcorn County to the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman.

Johnson is serving seven years for a 2016 armed robbery in Harrison County.

According to WLBT, the video shows a large area of inmates on bunk beds and walking amid items scattered on the floor. Sent to WLBT by a viewer who received the video in a text message from the inmate, Johnson shows his face and voices his opinion of the shakedown.

“I lost my charger,” he said in the video. “We just got shook down ...

Shook down my whole house.”

Caldwell said he’s not surprised that all contraband was not found by MDOC during the shakedown.

“Since they left, we have already found three more cell phones hidden in the facility,” the sheriff told the Daily Corinthian. “A water bottle with a hidden compartment was also found.”

On Wednesday, MDOC officers also recovered cellphone chargers, large bags of tobacco and numerous other contraband items, including shoes and shanks.

It was the largest regional jail bust this year, according to MDOC. The jail remains on lockdown until Caldwell and his staff can send MDOC a corrective plan of action.

“Controlling contraband is one of the hardest things we do,” added Caldwell. “It’s a daily fight that never ends. Mainly because these state inmates are constantly thinking of new ways to get contraband into the facility.”

Lobbyist says he was at Trump Jr.’s meeting Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A prominent RussianAmerican lobbyist and former Soviet military officer said he was at a meeting between a Russian lawyer and President Donald Trump’s son, son-in-law and campaign chairman last year, adding a new wrinkle to the Trump team’s evolving explanations about the June 2016 session.

Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed his involvement to The Associated Press in a Friday interview. He had not been previously identified as a participant in the meeting at Trump Tower in New York, which was billed as part of a Russian government effort to help the Republican’s White House campaign.

The meeting has heightened questions about whether Trump’s associates coordinated with Russia to meddle in the presidential election — to help him and thwart Hillary Clinton — and whether they’ve been forthcoming about their foreign contacts.

Federal and congressional investigators are probing possible connections between the campaign and Moscow.

While Trump Jr. has confirmed that Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya was in the meeting, he has not disclosed Akhmetshin’s presence.

Akhmetshin has been reported to have ties to Russian intelligence, a characterization he dismisses as a “smear

campaign.” He’s a wellknown Washington presence, lobbying for Russian interests trying to undermine the allegations of a lawyer who died in a Russian prison and is the namesake of a U.S. sanctions law.

Akhmetshin told the AP he served in the Soviet military in a unit that was part of counterintelligence but he was never formally trained as a spy.

In emails posted by Donald Trump Jr. earlier this week, a music publicist said he arranged the meeting because a Russian lawyer wanted to pass on negative information about Democrat Clinton. The go-between stated that the discussion was part of a Russian government effort to help the GOP candidate.

Sinkhole swallows boat, 2 houses Associated Press

MIAMI — A sinkhole that started out the size of a small swimming pool and continued to grow in Florida swallowed a boat, destroyed two homes and prompted officials to evacuate residents from about a dozen homes Friday.

Dramatic video showed the home in Land O’ Lakes, north of Tampa in Pasco County, collapsing into the hole Friday morning. It quickly engulfed one home and a boat and then consumed about 80 percent of another home, said Kevin Guthrie, Pasco County’s assistant county administrator for public safety.

By Friday afternoon, the hole stretched up to 250 feet wide and 50 feet deep, and threatened to

damage a third home, Guthrie said.

Pasco County Fire Chief Shawn Whited told reporters that no one was home when crews responded to a call about a “depression” under a boat in the backyard of a house in Lake Padgett Estates in Land O’Lakes. Within minutes, he said, “the hole opened up” and the boat fell in.

Firefighters were able to get two dogs out of the home and retrieve some belongings before the first home started collapsing into the quickly expanding hole.

“This is people’s lives.

They have everything in that house. The house that I went into, the elderly woman was in a walker, so we wanted to make sure we got medications

— things that she needed,” Deputy Jay Murphy said.

No injuries have been reported.

Sheriff Chris Nocco said that within roughly 30 feet of the sinkhole, the ground was soft underfoot and felt like it was moving.

“Walking down the street, you can see in people’s eyes the anxiety level. They’re fearful,” Nocco said.

The sinkhole had been dormant for about 90 minutes Friday night when Nocco addressed members of the media, but officials were cautious because it’s the rainy season.

The scene is being considered a hazardous materials incident because of possible septic tank issues and building debris.

Project stretches strawberry season DURHAM, N.H. — Strawberry season in the Northeast usually lasts only four to six weeks, but New Hampshire researchers have figured out how to stretch the harvest form July to Thanksgiving.

Researchers with the University of New Hampshire harvested strawberries grown in low tunnels for 19 consecutive weeks. They also found that the 3-foot tall tunnels significantly increased the percentage of marketable fruit, from an average of about 70 percent to 83 percent.

Now in its second year, the research project by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station is part of a larger, multi-state effort to optimize protected growing environments for berry crops in Northeastern states and the upper Midwest.

The project is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture.

The university’s part is focused on improving berry quality and the role ever-bearing, or day-neutral, varieties may play in extending the length of strawberry season in the Northeast.

Female Fields Medal winner dies at 40 STANFORD, Calif. — Maryam Mirzakhani, a Stanford University professor who was the first and only woman to win the Fields Medal in mathematics, has died.

She was 40.

Stanford University says Mirzakhani died Saturday. She had

breast cancer. The school didn’t indicate where she died.

Mirzakhani was born in Iran and joined Stanford as a mathematics professor in 2008.

She received the Fields Medal in 2014.

The award is considered the mathematics equivalent of the Nobel Prize.

Stanford says her work involved the geometric and dynamic complexities of curved surfaces such as spheres and doughnut shapes.

Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne calls Mirzakhani a brilliant theorist who made enduring contributions and inspired thousands of women to pursue math and science.

Students find arena didn’t hold promise BOSTON — A group of students have found that a Boston arena has not held up its end of a 1993 agreement that called for it to host three fundraisers a year for the agency that oversees the city’s recreational facilities in exchange for state approval for a new facility.

Officials at TD Garden, a multipurpose arena where the city’s NBA Celtics and NHL Bruins teams play, and the state Department of Conservation and Recreation officials acknowledged in separate letters to the students that no fundraisers have been held, The Boston Globe reported.

The teens had been seeking funding for a new hockey rink in their neighborhood when they began researching the old agreement.

They looked up a state law enacted in 1993 that stated: “The new

TD Garden had been called the Boston Garden before it was renamed in 2005.

Kemp campaign exposes voters ATLANTA — Georgia’s top elections official stood out by refusing help from the Department of Homeland Security last August amid national concerns about the integrity of U.S. elections.

Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp called it an attempted federal takeover and insisted his office was already protecting Georgia’s vote from hackers.

That stance earned him national media coverage ahead of his campaign for governor.

But Kemp’s assurances threatened to become a liability after new details emerged last month about major security mistakes at the center managing Georgia’s election technology. It turns out that the contractor left critical data wide open for months on the internet, and that for the second time under Kemp’s tenure, the personal information of every Georgia voter was exposed.

With his critics demanding accountability, Kemp announced Friday that he plans to bring the center’s operations in-house within a year.

His brief statement made no mention of the security flaws, saying “the ever-changing landscape of technology demands that we change with it.”

The Hattiesburg American reports the state College Board recently gave Rodney Bennett a $72,630 raise. In a July 6 email to the university community, Bennett said he would donate that amount to help students.

With the raise, Bennett has a $300,000 state salary. Supplemented by private donations, it reaches $464,500.

Amid a tight state

budget, USM has laid off three employees and eliminated 33 vacant jobs. Bennett said he is sensitive that his raise was granted as other employees have gone without raises.

Bennett said the College Board increased his salary to be consistent with those of other presidents at Mississippi’s research universities.

His contract was also extended until June 2021.

Early release halted for convicted killer OXFORD0 — The head of Mississippi’s prison system has decided not to release an inmate convicted in the 2006 killing of a University of Mississippi police officer.

The Mississippi Department of Corrections notified victims, law enforcement agencies and court officials Thursday that Daniel Cummings, 31, would be released from prison July 28 after serving less than half of a 20-year sentence, The Oxford Eagle reported .

On Friday, Corrections Commissioner Pelicia Hall decided to block Cummings’ release after receiving objections from victims and the community, department spokeswoman Grace Simmons Fisher told The Associated Press.

Fisher said the department is not allowed to publicly disclose names of registered victims.

Cummings pleaded guilty in 2007 to manslaughter for the dragging death of officer Robert Langley.

Cummings was a second-year University of Mississippi student from Germantown, Tennessee, when Langley pulled him over in traffic on Oct. 21, 2006.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis residents are as proud of their sweet-tasting water as their barbecue and blues. The water — drawn from the Memphis Sand aquifer beneath this Tennessee city — is so revered that a city utility called it a “community treasure� in an online report on its cleanliness.

So alarms went o after state environmental officials and the Tennessee Valley Authority revealed this week that high levels of arsenic and lead had been found in groundwater beneath the coalfired Allen Fossil Plant in southwest Memphis.

The toxins were detected in wells where pollution is monitored from ponds that hold coal ash — the dirty byproduct left from burning coal to generate electricity.

One well had arsenic at levels more than 300 times the federal drinking-water standard. The monitoring wells run about 50 feet deep and are about a half-mile from far deeper wells drilled by the TVA directly into the Memphis Sand aquifer.

Next year, the TVA plans to pump 3.5 million gallons of water out of the aquifer per day to cool a natural gas power plant that is replacing the aging Allen coal plant.

A layer of clay lies between the groundwater and the aquifer. This prompted the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, through spokesman Eric Ward, to state that it is “confident the contaminants found in TVA wells at the Allen Fossil Plant are not impacting drinking water.�

Nonetheless, the department has asked Memphis Light, Gas & Water — the city’s water utility — to test treated drinking water. It also told the TVA, which has a history of diďŹƒculties handling coal ash, to pinpoint where the toxins came from.

Spokesman Scott Brooks said the TVA, the

nation’s largest public utility, doesn’t know the source of the toxins and is cooperating with the state.

Still, the mere existence of toxins — and their proximity to other deeper wells burrowing into the aquifer — drew a sharp response from Mayor Mark Luttrell of Shelby County.

His county is home to more than 900,000 residents and has Memphis as its seat. “The levels of arsenic in the water samples are not acceptable to our community,� he said in a statement.

The Sierra Club has demanded more tests and said TVA should immediately contract with Memphis Light, Gas & Water to use municipal water to cool their new plant.

An advocacy group called Protect Our Aquifer also expressed concern. “We suspected the groundwater beneath the Allen plant was already contaminated, but this is even worse than we had imagined,� Ward Archer, the group’s president, said in a statement. “TVA’s plan to pump Memphis Sand Aquifer water from beneath this contaminated site is irresponsible and endangers our drinking water supply.�

Jerry Collins, president and CEO of Memphis Light, Gas & Water, said an analysis of drinking water test results should be ready in coming days. “We are very confident that the analysis will show that the concentrations of arsenic and lead, if they can find any at all, will be well below any drinkingwater standards� of the Environmental Protection Agency, he said.

Collins acknowledged the public alarm, adding, “They are very proud of the drinking water here in Memphis.�

Part of the concern is the TVA’s history of handling coal ash ponds. The utility has been sued by environmental groups that allege that coal ash ponds from its coal-fired power plant in Gallatin, Tennessee, are seeping

BOISE, Idaho — A giant aircraft that can fly high above oceans on intercontinental flights instead jets in low and slow over a flaming forest, trailing a long plume that settles on the ground and creates a wildfire-stopping barrier.

The operators of the Boeing 747 converted from a passenger jet into a firefighting air tanker say it has proven itself battling forest fires in countries outside the U.S. The modifications allow it to drop more than 19,000 gallons of a flamesquelching combination of ammonium phosphate and sulfate mixed with water that comes billowing out in a red-colored line. “We just happen to be the biggest, fastest firetruck in the air,� said Jim Wheeler, CEO of Global SuperTanker Services.

But the company says the U.S. Forest Service is seeking to keep the plane grounded by oering a contract limiting firefighting aircraft to 5,000 gallons of fire suppressant and won’t say why.

The company says the federal agency is putting homes and lives at risk just as the current wild-

fire season surges past the 10-year average for land area burned in a decade that includes some of the most destructive and deadly wildfire seasons on record.

pollution into the Cumberland River, violating the Clean Water Act. Environmental groups want the waste at the 1950s-era Gallatin Fossil Plant dug up and taken elsewhere. TVA has said it’s cheaper and may be safer and more environmentally friendly to keep it where it is A trial was held earlier this year, and a decision is pending.

Also, a 2008 coal ash disaster at TVA’s Kingston Fossil Plant in Tennessee sent more than 5 million cubic yards of sludge into the Emory and Clinch rivers that year, destroying homes. The TVA since has invested billions of dollars in safer ways to store coal ash.

The TVA’s Brooks said

finding the source of the toxins could take months of investigation, noting “there are a lot of questions.�

As the investigation continues, Memphis residents like Bennie Howie await answers. Howie said word of the toxins is “extremely upsetting,� especially after the leadtainted water crisis in Flint, Michigan. “This is a big deal,�

Howie said, adding afterward, “Did we not learn something from Flint, Michigan?�

Just last year, Memphis oďŹƒcials announced with fanfare that 12,000 bottles of their prized water from the Memphis Sand aquifer were being sent northward to help Flint residents.

Hard-working dad needs help relating to his young daughter DEAR ABBY: My husband works full-time, and when he gets home, and also on weekends, he’s “exhausted” and needs to relax.

He’s in bed by 8 every night, and on the weekends, if we don’t have something planned, he lies in bed all day napping and watching TV. H o w e v e r, when he Abigail realizes he Van Buren has a weekend day free Dear Abby (meaning I’m taking our 6-year-old daughter someplace he doesn’t need to be), he all of a sudden “finds” the energy to make golf plans, go on outings with friends, etc.

If I make plans to hire a baby sitter and it’s just us going out, he has the energy and looks forward to it.

It’s as if he is happiest when he doesn’t have to be with our child.

He does give her some attention, but it’s just in spurts, and then he’s off again to watch TV. I’m tired of asking him to make plans with her or spend time with her.

I feel like a nag for something I feel he should want to do. Any advice? -- LIKE A SINGLE

PARENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR SINGLE PARENT: You married a man who may have no clue how to be a parent and doesn’t know how to relate to a little girl.

Children aren’t stupid.

They know when someone enjoys them and when someone doesn’t.

The effect of his lack of interest will have an impact on how your daughter feels about herself when she’s older.

She will ask herself why her father acts the way he does and blame herself for it. (Aren’t I smart enough? Aren’t I pretty enough?)

Consider going with your husband to a psychologist who can provide him with some insight -- as well as suggestions -- about how to better relate to his daughter, because it isn’t too late to make some changes that could benefit both of them.

DEAR ABBY: I need some outside advice. I just found out that my mother has breast cancer.

That is hard enough, but I also found out that she has known for the last 18 months and decided to not take any measures to fight it.

My sisters say we should respect her decision and give her as much support as we can, but I can’t help but want to push her to fight this.

She said she doesn’t want the pain of surgery and possibly chemotherapy.

I need someone to help me understand what to do.

Please. -- NEEDS SOME HELP IN TEXAS DEAR NEEDS SOME HELP: I don’t know at what stage your mother’s cancer was at the time of her diagnosis and whether she got a second opinion and counseling.

After 18 months of not being treated, I also don’t know at what stage it may be now. It may have been too late then -or it may be too late now.

If she made her decision under the assumption that there would be no pain if she skipped the surgery/chemo, she was incorrect.

There is pain either way, although with heavy medication it may be controlled.

I do think you should support her decision and make the best of the time you have together.

Your sisters are right -- she will need your support as her disease progresses. My heart goes out to all of you. Please accept my sympathy.

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

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It’s smart to store up what you will later need. It’s wise to know what that will be; it’s a trick question of sorts, too, as your basic needs will stay the same but what fulfills them will change considerably through time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re getting more and more specific in your desires. Not everyone will understand you, but the ones who do will feel an immediate bond and form a lasting kinship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you keep making the same goals but you don’t seem to be getting any closer to them, that’s a sign to give them a rest.

Maybe having no goal is better than having one that keeps you stuck.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The good things, such as winning the lottery, seem to happen to someone else. The bad things seem that way, too. But don’t forget, you’re “someone else” to someone else!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Each state of mind and mood has its purpose, and most only last as long as we let them go on.

Sadness is like entering a dark room. Happiness can be as simple as reaching your hand out to turn on the light.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The same people who bring out the best in you also bring out the stress in you. The grace of the day is that those two things won’t happen at the same time.

If you keep on the sunny side, so will those around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Those who are slow to anger will reap the best outcome from today’s situation, which will require patience, a lack of ego and great flexibility of mind. The gentle answer will bring the best results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Success isn’t a number you reach; it’s a ratio. Even if you have the means you desire, if you are not satisfied, you are not successful. If you are satisfied,

even if you are not rich, you can consider yourself a success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When time and distance don’t seem to make you forget someone, it’s a sign of true love, which is impervious to the effects of miles, clocks and calendars.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The fact that everyone is running around saying there’s a problem doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem. Check it out for yourself. Avoid wasting your time with issues that aren’t.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stay away from the kind of people who have a problem for every solution. It’s not funny, and it’s not charming. What it is -- a dark cloud obscuring the sunshine you need so much today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The true sign of intelligence is not in the accumulation of knowledge but in the ability to change. Exercise your right to alter things -- your mind, your choices, yourself.

Coach Michael Stroup coaching his Scotts Hill players during game action this past season. Stroup was recently named head coach of West Tennessee powerhouse University School of Jackson.

Stroup making a name for himself

BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

The Stroup family name is well-known and respected in Northeast Mississippi, especially Alcorn County.

The patriarch — Cecil Stroup — had a successful run at Alcorn Central and led the Golden Bears to their only undefeated season in school history in 1988.

Now his youngest son Michael — who played for the Bears a few years after his dad stepped down in Glen — is making a name for himself on the head coaching circuit.

The younger Stroup was recently named the new head football coach at West Tenessee private school powerhouse University School of Jackson, better known as USJ. “It’s been a surreal journey for me so far,” Stroup said in a recent interview. “To be here at USJ is completely different from what I’m used to. I’ve gone from coaching at Scotts Hill, where our players were dressing out in a lawn-mower shed when I first got there, to being in a pristine facility like the one here in Jackson.”

Taking over a Bruins’ program steeped in tradition and championships doesn’t daunt

Stroup as you might expect. He has spent his entire coaching career to this point in the public school ranks, but looks forward to the challenges of high-level private school ball.

“You know the places I’ve coached so far have been public schools and colleges,” he stated. “Here at USJ, it’s a private school where you’re allowed to recruit. I have eight assistant coaches and a strength coach. The closest I’ve come to this level as far as facilities and coaches is the two years I spent at Tupelo.”

Stroup coached defensive backs his first year with the Golden Wave before becoming the offensive line coach in year two. Former Mississippi State and Tupelo standout Chad Bumphis was an All-State performer for the Wave under Stroup’s tutelage.

“We lost to South Panola that last year, 14-13, when we missed on a 2-point conversion attempt at the end,” Stroup reminisced. “That was during their 88-game winning streak.

We weren’t playing that game to end up in a tie with them. We were playing to win.

“As you might imagine, the facilities at Tupelo were topnotch with a stadium comparable to some small colleges. But

When Stroup took over the fledgling Scotts Hill program four years ago, television cameras were nowhere to be found. But three straight playoff appearances changed all that. it’s another level here at USJ.” After graduating from Alcorn Central, Stroup enrolled at Northeast where he became a student assistant under former defensive coordinator and head coach Andy Greening.

“That’s where I began to learn how to break down game film and get the players prepared each week,” he said.

“After a couple of years, I met coach Steve Campbell who was at Southwest at the time.

I joined him at Delta State and went from being a student assistant to being a graduate assistant (GA). We won a national title while I was there.”

Fate would play a hand in Stroup’s career after he graduated at DSU. “At the end of my senior year at Delta State, I was visiting with my dad at McNairy Central,” he stated. “Dad was workPlease see STROUP | 11A

Little lands on Outland Trophy Watch List Ole Miss Sports Information

DALLAS — Following a breakout freshman season in 2016, Ole Miss offensive lineman Greg Little has been named to the 2017 Outland Trophy Watch List released this week.

The Rebel is one of 81 players on the list for the award given to the nation’s top interior lineman.

The list includes 24 offensive tackles, 21 defensive tackles, 19 centers and 17 offensive guards.

Little is on the list along with 10 other linemen from the Southeastern Conference.

A native of Allen, Texas, Little made an immediate impact in

his first season as a Rebel.

He played in every game, while making five starts at left tackle.

Throughout the 2016 Little campaign, he helped protect the Ole Miss quarterbacks that led the SEC and ranked 13th nationally in passing as a unit (314.9 ypg). The strong season earned him Freshman AllAmerica honors by Rivals.com, and the coaches voted him first

team Freshman All-SEC as well.

Entering the fall, Little is expected to be the Rebels’ starting left tackle. NFL.com has him rated as the 31st-best player in college football heading into the season, while Phil Steele credits Little a fourth team Preseason All-America honoree.

The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists.

Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.

The list will be trimmed to six or seven semifinalists on Nov. 15. Six days later, three Outland Trophy finalists will be named by the FWAA. The winner of the 72nd Outland Trophy – named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century — will be announced live on ESPN at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 7.

Combatting allergic reactions to insect stings

BY JAMES L. CUMMINS For The Daily Corinthian

Allergic reactions to insect stings are a common and often serious medical problem.

Insects that sting are divided into two major subgroups: the group consisting of the yellow jacket, hornet and wasp; and the one made up of the more docile honeybee and bumblebee.

The fire ant is a non-winged member of the first group and is responsible for an increasing number of allergic reactions.

According to Dr. William M. McKell, a resident of Ridgeland: “Reactions to stings are divided into two major categories — local and systemic. The usual and expected reaction is one of localized pain, swelling and redness at the site.

“The first step in management is to remove any re-

Conservation Corner tained stinger. Bees have a multi-barbed stinger which, along with the venom gland, remains attached to the victim.

This needs to be scraped away from the skin with a sharp object such as a fingernail or a knife blade (do not grasp the stinger for this may inject additional venom). Essentially no treatment is required for this self-limited reaction other than possibly cold compresses and over the counter pain medication. Some advocate the application of moist tobacco or meat tenderizer (papain), and they may well be of benefit, however, I have never seen data supporting or refuting their use,” continued McKell.

A large local reaction, such

as swelling of the entire arm secondary to a sting on the hand, consists of more discomfort and prolonged swelling. These may well last a week.

According to McKell, management here usually consists of over-the-counter pain medication and antihistamines. If the swelling is extensive and disabling, oral cortisone-type drugs may be of benefit. McKell states that it is unknown why such reactions occur, but in persons that develop them, they are more likely to have such reactions in the future.

“A severe and sometimes fatal systemic reaction is called anaphylaxis. It will usually begin within 20 to 30 minutes of the sting and consist of gen-

eralized hives and swelling, difficulty breathing and/or circulatory collapse and shock.

This is a true medical emergency resulting in 40 to 150 deaths per year in the United States, requiring immediate professional attention,” states Mc-Kell.

The fire ant will bite anything that invades his bed, hold on with his jaws and rotate his body, inflicting multiple stings, typically in a circular pattern.

“These appear infected, but are not. I include this only to discourage the routine use of antibiotics for such a sting,” McKell said.

Individuals who have had a systemic reaction should consider evaluation by an allergist.

Adults who have experienced this have a 30 to 60 percent risk of having another systemic reaction if stung again.

STROUP CONTINUED FROM 10A

ing there and while I was on campus that day (then-head coach) Tommy Browder offered me an assistant’s job, but I ended up turning it down.”

One year later same scenario, different outcome.

“I went back the next year to visit with Dad, and Browder offered me the job a second time, and I took it.”

After coaching wide receivers and defensive backs for the Bobcats for three seasons, Stroup accepted a position as defensive coordinator with his close friend and head coach Brandon Gray at Adamsville.

“We turned things around there, and it was a step up in the ranks for me,” he continued.

After his two-year stay with the Cardinals, Stroup then accepted the assistant’s job at Tupelo before heading back to McNairy Central after a change in head coaches with the Golden Wave.

“I spent another three years in Selmer coaching linebackers,” he mentioned.

“Coach Jim Glover was there my first year, and then Charlie Dampeer came in my final two years.”

Both Browder and Dampeer would later join Stroup at Scotts Hill as assistants in a change of roles.

“The job at Scotts Hill had come open in 2013, and I accepted the offer to be the head coach there,” he said. “When I first got there, I didn’t know the full scope of what to expect, but I knew the program was new, and they were limited in facilities and equipment.”

The Lions were dressing out for games in what Stroup referred to as a makeshift lawn mower shed about 20x20 in size.

The players had to take shifts dressing and there was no weight room to speak of. There were also no bleachers on one side, and the booster club, not the school district, built its

own scoreboard and press box before installing new bleachers his final year in Reagan, the home of Scotts Hill.

“Last year we finally got a really nice fieldhouse and weight room. The booster club at Scotts Hill is really great. They do what they do from their hearts and for the kids without expecting favors.

“The program there had started in 2009, and I spent the first year with them teaching the basics, like tackling and blocking, where most teams were working on schemes,” Stroup said. “It was like spending the entire year with a brand new team that didn’t know much.”

Stroup was forced to teach simple football things like how to pull and fill gaps and holes his first year on the job, but they went from finishing 2-8 that season to three straight playoff appearances and 22 total wins during that same time frame.

The Lions finished 7-5 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs in year two then went 6-5 with a first round playoff loss to TCA in year three.

Then came year four — the season that literally earned Stroup the job he has now.

“We finished 9-4 last year and advanced to the state quarterfinals where we fell to Waverly, 20-14,” he said.

“But we started the playoffs with a really hard-fought and close 19-14 win at Adamsville. We scored with less than two minutes to go on a 47-yard wheel route.

They (Cardinals) were 10-0 and ranked No. 1 when we beat them.”

This past April, while in Tuscaloosa at a coaching clinic, Stroup received a call from the athletic director at USJ and found himself in Jackson for an interview and job offer three weeks later.

“They (USJ) had a coach that had been there for 27

years and had built that program into what it is now,” Stroup said. “They were looking for someone, and they had heard about my success at Scotts Hill and then saw me at a 7-on-7 drill in Jackson and how I handled the kids. I told them I’m just a down-home country guy who has spent his entire career to this point in public schools. I just let them know before they hired me that they were gonna get ‘me’ if they offered me the job.”

He was referring to the difference in styles in the two school systems. One is blue-collar, low-key while the other is more dress shirt and tie and high-key.

Stroup has really followed through on his goal and made a name for himself that has culminated in the job at USJ, a position of prestige and high-visibility.

The Bruins are loaded with top-tier talent and just last year were led by the top offensive tackle in the country — Trey Smith, who is now a Tennessee Volunteer.

“We have several players with multiple D-1 offers and a couple that are considered among the best at their positions in the country,” Stroup said. “I can see myself staying here and being successful for a long time, maybe even retire. It’s close to home and we love it here.”

Stroup has no doubt made his mother and dad proud and is among the best young coaches in the region at the age of 38. It’s also highly possible he could own a state championship or two before his time at USJ is done.

Stroup is married to Holly, a McNairy Central graduate. The couple has two boys: Nathan, 9, and Knox, 7.

It’ll be interesting to keep taps on the progress of Stroup as he takes over one of the most successful football programs in the region.

It’s been quite a ride to this point for the 1998 AC grad, and he plans on taking it to another level.

Betts spends his time helping others

BY KENDALL PATTERSON For the Daily Corinthian

It has been quite a journey, but the trip was worth it as Larry Betts has come back from addiction to become “one of the best” at helping others and giving back to his community.

The 63-year-old Corinth native graduated from Corinth High School in 1973. That same year he married his wife, Odera Betts, and has been happily married ever since.

Daughter Shea Betts passed away in 2006, but he also has a son, Tavares Patterson, along with six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Betts has a long history of service to others. In 1973, Betts served in the U.S. Air Force as a security policeman for one and a half years. In the 1980s, he served as a Corinth policeman for almost five years and he also worked as a sheriff’s deputy one and and a half years.

Life has not been all roses for Betts, as he is also a former drug addict and convict.

Nonetheless, he still found his right way about 2007. He said the main thing that got him to where he is today was “converting to be a Christian and letting God in.”

This started once he

“Many of the patients are glad to see him just by knowing they can talk to him and he understands.”

Victoria Harris Co-worker began to visit Living Free Ministries, which sent him to The Home of Grace in Vancleave, which is a faith-based rehab facility for those recovering from drug addiction.

He is now employed and serving others.

In addition to working at Litco Petroleum, he serves the community by working at the Corinth Crisis Center and volunteering at Living Free Ministries.

“One of the things we got to do is learn to give back to the community and be involved in the community in a positive way,” said Tommy Wilson, founder of Living Free Ministries.

“Out of all the people who I’ve worked with over the years, Larry Betts has probably done the best at them.”

Every year, he serves Christmas dinner to people who have been left

alone and to inmates as well.

At the Corinth Crisis Center, Betts shares with his patients all that he has been through, his testimony and hope their lives can change for the better.

“Anyone who truly wants to change should see Larry,” said co-worker Victoria Harris at the Corinth Crisis Center.

“He understands people and they become calm around him.”

Daily inspiration he gives his patients includes telling them that if they want to change, “It starts with the man in the mirror,” as he explains that they have to try to make a change for themselves first. He also tells them, “I can’t save you, but I know a man who can,” as he tries to help them find God. “Many of the patients are glad to see him just by knowing they can talk to him and he understands,” Harris said. “He does things with patients others can’t.”

“We thank you, Larry Betts, for your good work and we just want people of the community to know what they have,” added his co-workers at the Corinth Crisis Center.

(Corinth native Kendall Patterson is a junior journalism major at Ole Miss.)

‘Carnivalesque:’ Readers will love every single chill

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Carnivalesque” by Neil Jordan c.2017, Bloomsbury $27 / 282 pages Your hair looks fine.

It should; you’ve checked it a dozen times since you got out of bed this morning. Your hair, your teeth, your skin, your eyes, you want to make sure you look your best so you peek in the mirror as often as possible. But in the new book “Carnivalesque” by Neil Jordan, what you see is not what you get.

As an only child, Andy Rackard was a bit indulged.

Maybe it had to do with the tension between his parents, maybe not, but it didn’t really matter. When Andy asked for something – say, a side-trip to the carnival while heading to the mall

Annual Emmy nominations pit mainstream against niche fare Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “This Is Us.” And that is them.

When Emmy nominations were announced Thursday, one side of the TV coin hinted that broadcast’s cultural relevance might be staging a comeback. This was thanks largely to the 11 nods granted NBC’s “This Is Us,” which broke out last fall as something no one had seen in years: a hit mainstream family drama that had everybody talking (and sometimes choking up) while critics swooned.

The show’s hold on the nation’s hearts and eyeballs was further demonstrated by Emmy nominations that include those for best drama series, two for lead actor, and two more for best supporting actor and supporting actress.

NBC also scored mightily with its 22 nominations

for “Saturday Night Live,” which, flourishing in the politically charged Age of Donald Trump, tied with HBO’s exotic thriller “Westworld” for most nominations.

In all, NBC landed 64 nominations, vaulting far ahead of fellow broadcast networks ABC with 34, CBS with 29 and Fox’s 21.

Even so, HBO, as usual, claimed first place with 110 nods, while Netflix had a robust 91.

That represents the other side of the coin, both in the TV universe overall, and, more specifically, for the Emmys, where broadbased, popular programs must vie with niche and premium programming for Emmy love. (The awards-cast is scheduled to air Sept. 17 on CBS.) Netflix big-shouldered the nominations’ best drama category with three contenders: “The Crown,”

‘‘House of Cards” and “Stranger Things.” Rival streaming platform Hulu got its first-ever nods, totaling 18, and Amazon had 16.

FX was the leader among cable, scoring 55 nominations and reinforcing its image of coolness with such edgy fare as “Feud: Bette and Joan,” about the epic clash of Hollywood divas Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, which reaped 18 nominations, and the third season of “Fargo,” which got 16 nods.

HBO’s “Veep,” the most-nominated comedy with 17 bids, is bucking for its third consecutive top comedy trophy. Star Julia Louis-Dreyfus has the chance to build on her record of most wins for a lead comedy actress: She has five for “Veep” and one for “The New Adventures of Old Christine.”

– the car turned toward his wishes. So, while his parents gaped at carnival sideshows and gasped at neon-lit rides, Andy slipped away to Burleigh’s Amazing Hall of Mirrors.

And he didn’t come out.

Instead, someone who looked like him did: a different Andy who left with the real Andy’s parents, while the real Andy was stuck inside the mirror.

Stuck fast, until a girl who seemed to be his same age decided that his name was Dany, and pulled him out with hands that belied her age. She called herself Mona, and she told Dany that he’d make a fine roustabout for the carnival.

He was just as capable as the other rousties in their odd-fitting dungarees, and so she decided to keep him. She had wanted a child for way too long.

Eileen Rackard cried a lot those days.

Jim, her husband, was obsessed with marmalade; true, it was his job, but it wasn’t his life.

She felt so useless, and it didn’t help that Andy seemed distant, as if he didn’t remember how things once were. She chalked it up to adolescence, and hoped things might return to normal – until a local girl accused Andy of assault, flying ants began to plague the townspeople, and something emerged from the moss near the water…

Beginning with such promise, “Carnivalesque” is a nearly-instant bloodchiller. When young Andy is sucked into the mirror and replaced, it’s as if a childhood horror has come to life and everything comfortable is snatched away. Homesickness, even to a small degree, may also appear in a sentimental reader but don’t lose focus: observations are made in

those pages, and they’ll become important.

It’s a good beginning.

Sadly, you’ll then need to muddle awhile, since this book begins to crack under its own story-weight, somewhere shortly before the middle: there are gonowhere plot-lines and empty back-story that seem awfully extraneous, as though author Neil Jordan sprinkled pepper into his tale for flavor, but it ruins the recipe. It’s told in a dreamy, otherworldly way, which can be that part’s only saving grace.

Fear not, though: despite a clunky middle, the ending of this book is just as creepy as the beginning, and readers ages 15-to-adult will love every chill. If you like that kind of novel and if you can get that far, “Carnivalesque” could be a book you can see yourself reading.
