‘We just fill the need’

Jobless rate rises to 5.4 %

“The school year is about to start again, and we need people praying for all the precious children, from the youngest to the oldest, who are in our schools.”

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County unemployment rose to 5.4 percent in June, making the usual increase that follows the end of a school year.

The rate was up from 4.7 percent in May but less than the 5.9 percent recorded in June 2016.

Mississippi’s seasonally adjusted rate was nearly unchanged at 5 percent, rising 0.1 percent.

Ranking 11th among the 82 counties for the month, Alcorn had 850 counted as unemployed, rising from 760 in May and decreasing from 940 a year ago.

The county had 71 new claims for unemployment insurance, rising from 48 a year ago, and 345 continued claims, a decrease from 503 a year ago, according to the labor report released this week by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Benefits paid in the county during the month totaled $52,999, falling from $83,024 a year ago.

Mississippi’s not seasonally adjusted non-farm employment decreased 1,400 over the month but was up 10,800 from one year ago. Registering the largest monthly employment losses were the government sector and the educational & health services sector.

Jobless rates across the state ranged from 4.3 percent in Rankin County to 16.7 percent in Jefferson County.

The 2017 Prayer Walk will be held at each school campus from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday.

“The school year is about to start again, and we need people praying for all the precious children, from the youngest to the oldest, who are in our schools,” said Kathryn Chapman, prayer coordinator for the Alcorn Baptist Association.

This will be the 17th year for the event, in which residents are requested to come out to all campuses of the Alcorn County and Corinth School Districts and pray for the children, teachers, principals, superintendents and all other school district employees.

NOTICE FROM CORINTH SCHOOL DISTRICT REGARDING PROPOSED AD VALOREM TAX EFFORT

The advertisement listed below is required by state law to be published. The Corinth School District will not be requesting a millage increase for the 2017-18 fiscal year. We are requesting the

county school district for a simple school supply list for each grade. The list is a long one that includes backpacks, pencils, notebooks, rulers, calculators, flash drives and crayons -- just to name a few.

On distribution day, volunteers gather and sort supplies. As clients arrive, they get signed in and are welcomed by Chelmowski, who shares a devotional message before the student is paired with a volunteer who interacts with them and helps them locate school supplies.

“Each person gets a little gospel, because we want to share the reason why we are doing this,” said Chelmowski.

Around 15 to 20 volunteers help with the project

including Bill’s wife, Barbara.

“She’s the backbone,” he said. “The ministry would not be possible without Barbara and all the volunteers, many whom return each year.”

Fae Dildy of Corinth is one of those who has been helping since the ministry was born eight years ago.

“If I miss a year, I’d be pretty mad at myself,” said Dildy. “It’s a great feeling – to help people who need something and to help kids have a better school experience. It makes all the work worth it.”

Chelmowski said many volunteers are young, school-aged children.

“I think it’s encouraging for the younger volunteers to interact with our

young clients,” he said.

“They get down on their level and connect. It’s another special part of this project.”

With a yearly cost of $5,000 to $6,000, the ministry receives support from the local baptist association, Morden Woodmen and countless other donations from local churches, businesses and individuals.

“Without the donors, we would not be here,” added Chelmowski. “It’s thanks to them and God for providing us with this opportunity to serve the community.”

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AD VALOREM TAX EFFORT The Corinth School District will hold a public hearing on its proposed school district budget for fiscal year 2017-2018 on August 1, 2017 at 5:30p.m., at Corinth School District Administrative Office, 1204 North Harper Road.

At this meeting, a proposed ad valorem tax effort will be considered. The Corinth School District is now operating with a projected total budget revenue of$26,247,294. Of that amount, 21 percent or $5,552,248 of such revenue is obtained through ad valorem taxes.

For next fiscal year, the proposed budget has total projected revenue of $24,252,515. Of that amount, 24 percent or $5,816,064 is proposed to be financed through a total ad valorem tax levy. For the next fiscal year, the proposed increase in ad valorem tax effort by Corinth School District may result in an increase in the ad valorem tax millage rate. Ad valorem taxes are paid on homes, automobile tags, business fixtures and equipment, and rental real property. A millage rate of 56 will produce the same amount of revenue from ad valorem taxes as was collected the prior year. The millage rate for the prior year was 59.2. Any citizen of Corinth School District is invited to attend this public hearing on the proposed ad valorem tax effort, and will be allowed to speak for a reasonable amount of time and offer tangible evidence before any vote is taken.

“I was so shocked at how many people from Booneville and the surrounding areas watched the pageant and whenever I finally got to my phone late that night I had hundreds and hundreds of people contacting me. It was absolutely crazy and I was so touched by how many people in Booneville have supported me so much,” she said.

The newly crowned winner, who represented the Booneville Lions Club in the local pageant, said she became interested in Miss Hospitality locally because she wanted to be more involved with her community and her state.

She’s loved her time as Booneville’s Miss Hospitality.

“It was such a fun experience to be able to do ribbon cuttings and that sort of thing. I really just wanted to be able to serve and get involved,” she said.

An accomplished student, McGrew is a Girl Scout Gold Award honoree, a Hall of Fame student at BHS, a 4-H club president and local advisory board member and has received numerous other honors and awards through an active academic and extracurricular career. She has her sights set on a career in dentistry as she begins working toward a degree in biology at NEMCC before she plans to continue her education at Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

I think it’s really important to have role models in your life and I’ve had a lot of role models in my life that have taught me lots of great things,” said McGrew.

The state pageant experience was more exciting and more fun than she had expected. It was the first time she had ever competed in this type of pageant and she didn’t know what it would be like, but the opportunity to meet the other contestants and take part in the pageant and all the activities leading up to it is one she won’t soon forget.

“Everyone there was so sweet and so genuine.

Even if I hadn’t won, it would still have been one of the best experiences of my life,” she said. “It was honestly the time of my life and I did not expect at all to walk away with the crown. That was just the icing on the cake.”

After a brief vacation with her family, she’s ready to hit the ground running as one of the state’s most recognizable and active ambassadors.

Up next are photo shoots, and a busy travel schedule that will take her to the Governor’s Conference on Tourism in September and Washington, D.C., in the spring along with numerous events throughout the state.

“I cannot wait. I’ve set a goal that I want to go to all 82 counties during my year reigning,” she said.

A meet-and-greet reception and autograph signing for McGrew is set for Aug. 14 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the old Booneville Hardware building. McGrew will greet supporters from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. followed by delivering her speech from the state pageant and a question and answer session.

Bowen returning as school board attorney

Red Bay

BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County School Board members welcomed a familiar face to the board table at the first meeting for their new board attorney.

Richard Bowen of Iuka returned as board attorney at Monday’s regular meeting, taking the seat previously held by Bill Smith of Booneville.

Bowen served as attorney for the board for several years until stepping down in June 2012 to take a position as an assistant district attorney.

He has since returned to private practice.

The board voted Monday to create a policy allowing principals to recommend to the superintendent a qualified instructor on their campus to serve as assistant principal. The superintendent would then make a formal recommendation to the board which must approve the appointment.

Board member Sheila Johnson said she believes the procedure is necessary because only the superintendent is legally allowed to make a recommendation for a promotion or change in job requirements.

The board agreed naming an assistant principal on each campus is needed in order to have a designated person to lead the school if an emergency were to arise while the principal is absent as well as to assist the principal with their regular duties as needed.

The board accepted a Perkins Reserve Fund grant award of $19,300 for the Prentiss County Vocational School.

Vo-Tech Director Kim English said the funds will be used to purchase several large and expensive pieces of equipment for the automotive program to allow students to work toward

the total cost $31.

If a resident chooses to wait until the time their license plate is set for renewal, they can get the “In God We Trust” tag at that time.

McNairy County Clerk Ronnie Price said his office had received 1,000 of the license plates from the state. Price said they had sold 120 of the new tags since they went on sale July 1.

The phrase “In God We Trust” is located in the center of the license plate with an outline of the state of Tennessee in the middle of the phrase.

A county resident can get more information at the clerk’s office in the McNairy County Annex Building.

Contraband found at correctional facility HOUSTON (AP) — The Mississippi Department of Corrections says a small amount of contraband was found at a correctional facility compared to previous shakedowns at other facilities.

The department said in a news release on Tuesday that Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility in Houston, Mississippi seized items that include four cellphones and nine homemade battery packs.

Commissioner Pelicia E. Hall says it appears that the Chickasaw County Regional’s administration is abiding by MDOC’s zero tolerance for contraband.

The shakedown at Chickasaw is the 16th overall since early March and the 10th of 15 regional facilities. Chickasaw can hold a maximum of 310 inmates.

coach Hugh Freeze is taking a break from fundraising and will reconsider its future after the coach resigned amid what the school called a “pattern of personal misconduct.”

The Freeze Foundation’s stated mission is to “express God’s love by improving the quality of life for orphans and needy children.”

Executive director Alice Blackmon tells USA Today that the charity will honor its financial pledges. She says it has paused its fundraising efforts and will reassess its future at the end of the year. USA Today reports that tax forms show the charity donated a total of $125,000 to two Christian organizations in 2015, its first full year.

Freeze resigned from Ole Miss last week after it was revealed that his school-issued cellphone dialed an escort service in 2016.

Corinth, Miss.

A plan to save Social Security It is no secret that what the major media seem to care most about is radically different from what concerns average Americans. While the inside the Beltway crowd continues to focus on alleged Cal collusion between President Thomas Trump and Russia, real concerns like the future of Social Columnist Security are ignored.

The Social Security Board of Trustees, a six-member panel who serve the federal government by offering a short-term and long-range forecast on the health of the Social Security program, has issued a new report, which says that while the retirement program will be “cash flow positive” through 2021, it is still in line to run out of money unless taxes are raised, or benefits are substantially reduced.

Financial Planner Ric Edelman has come up with an idea that is so simple and workable it could transform the aging program and make retirement more comfortable and secure for years to come. Full disclosure: Edelman, who has been ranked three times the number one independent adviser by Barron’s, is my financial adviser.

Edelman says reforming Social Security is essential because, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts, roughly 58 percent of workers have access to a retirement plan, while 49 percent participate in one.

Edelman notes that people who do have such plans don’t have much money in them, just an average balance of $159,000, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. That amount can only generate a few hundred dollars a month in retirement income, which is why even when Social Security is added to this pittance it can’t adequately provide for the needs of most retirees.

Edelman’s solution? The federal government would set aside $7,000 one time for each child born during the next 35 years. The money would be placed in an investment account managed by a panel of investment experts appointed by the president and Congress.

After 35 years, the government gets back its $7,000 -- increased for inflation -- and uses the money to pay for children born during the next 35-year cycle, making it self-funding.

When the child reaches age 70, monthly benefits are provided -- equal in income to what Social Security provides, allowing the current program to be replaced with no adverse effect on retirees.

I asked Edelman about the politics of this, since Social Security is considered a political third rail, untouchable, highly charged.

“That’s why I don’t propose altering how the Social Security trust fund is managed,” he said, “which is what killed privatization efforts years ago.”

Under his proposal, the money would be invested in a diversified portfolio put together by a panel of investment experts consistent with how the nation’s pensions funds and endowments are managed.

To keep the money from being “raided” by Congress, Edelman says each baby would be assigned an individual account, much like an IRA, and would receive annual statements showing the account balance.

Edelman says he is joining the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that addresses the challenges facing the nation, to focus on fixing the problems with Social Security and ensure a stable retirement program for every American.

Anticipating criticism from the usual suspects who want to use Social Security as a political weapon instead of fixing it, Edelman says, “If anyone complains about my proposal, they need to complain about the nation’s pension plans, too, because I am doing nothing different from them.”

Wouldn’t you like to see dysfunctional Washington and the anti-Trump news media actually get behind something that benefits the most people? If surveyed, I’d bet an overwhelming number of respondents who are fed-up with issues that do not impact their lives, would scream “yes!”

Prayer for today My Father, if I choose to be unhappy and miserable, may I not be to myself and friends as “a harp with one string.” Help me to free myself from thinking and anticipating things that keep me from the pleasure that I might receive and give. May I have more trust in my friends and in thee. Amen.

A verse to share LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.

—Psalm 30:2

Weingarten confused about school choice Randi Weingarten, president of the nation’s secondlargest teachers union, the American Federation of Teachers, used a speech last week to brand the education choice movement as racist.

She also got personal, trying to pin the racist label onto Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos because DeVos is a passionate supporter of parents being able to choose where to send their child to school.

I’ve been through this too many times. No matter the subject, liberals invariably try to kill an idea they don’t like, or destroy a person they don’t like, with the label “racist.”

Sorry, but it won’t work this time. Too much is at stake, and the truth is too clear.

Every time we go through a new round of National Assessment of Educational Progress testing, the Nation’s Report Card, we see the same results: Dismal performances by black children, yawning gaps in performance between black children and white children, and overall test scores that show practically no improvement over the years.

In 2015, 35 percent

of black fourthgraders and 52 percent of black eighth-graders were Star “below baParker sic” in math and 48 perColumnist cent of black fourth-graders and 42 percent of black eighth-graders were “below basic” in reading.

Seventeen percent of black fourth-graders were “at proficient” in math compared with 41 percent of white fourth-graders. Sixteen percent of black fourthgraders were “at proficient” in reading compared with 34 percent of white fourthgraders.

Eric Hanushek of Stanford University took a look at the last 50 years of black test scores compared with white test scores. His conclusion: virtually no improvement. “(T)he modest improvements in achievement gaps since 1965 can only be called a national embarrassment,” writes Hanushek. “Put differently, if we continue to close gaps at the same rate in the future, it will be roughly two and half centu-

ries before the black-white math gap closes and over one and half centuries until the reading gap closes.”

It took almost two centuries from our nation’s founding until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. Most black parents are not interested in waiting another two centuries until the math and reading scores of their children catch up to those of white children.

But Weingarten seems to have plenty of time on her hands. She thinks things are just great. She’s upset that DeVos called our public schools a “dead end.”

“Our public schools are not a dead end,” says Weingarten. “They’re places of endless opportunity.” Yes, for union bureaucrats with fat salaries and pensions.

But certainly not for lowincome children looking for a light at the end of the tunnel.

One reason teachers unions hate school vouchers is that public school funding can be redirected for the vouchers that children can use at any school.

That’s a good thing. Stanford’s Hanushek reports that since 1965, expenditures per student in our public schools have qua-

drupled with virtually no change in test scores.

There’s a reason why a million kids are on waiting lists for acceptance into charter schools; why 64 percent of black parents, in an Education Next poll, supported tax-credits to fund scholarships to send low-income children to private schools; and why today almost 450,000 children are in some type of school choice program, up from effectively zero 20 years ago.

Why is everyone trying to get out of what Randi Weingarten thinks is so wonderful?

And why does she think it is racist to give black parents the freedom to choose where to send their child to school? Since when is it racist to give people more freedom?

Whatever Randi Weingarten’s agenda happens to be, improving the lot of black children is certainly not high on it. Regarding racism, maybe she should do her own soul-searching.

Are America’s wars just and moral?

“One knowledgeable official estimates that the CIAbacked fighters may have killed or wounded 100,000 Syrian soldiers and their allies,” writes columnist David Ignatius.

Given that Syria’s prewar population was not 10 percent of ours, this is the equivalent of a million dead and wounded Americans. What justifies America’s participation in this slaughter?

Columnist Eric Margolis summarizes the successes of the six-year civil war to overthrow President Bashar Assad.

“The result of the western-engendered carnage in Syria was horrendous: at least 475,000 dead, 5 million Syrian refugees driven into exile in neighboring states (Turkey alone hosts three million), and another 6 million internally displaced. ... 11 million Syrians ... driven from their homes into wretched living conditions and near famine.

“Two of Syria’s greatest and oldest cities, Damascus and Aleppo, have been pounded into ruins. Jihadist massacres and Russian and American air strikes have ravaged once beautiful, relatively prosperous

Says The Wall Street Journal: “The only way to reach an acceptable diplomatic solution is if Iran and Russia feel they are paying too high a price for their Syria sojourn.

This means more support for Mr. Assad’s enemies, not cutting them off without notice. And it means building up a Middle East coalition willing to fight Islamic State and resist Iran. The U.S. should also consider enforcing ‘safe zones’ in Syria for anti-Assad forces.”

Yet, fighting ISIS and alQaida in Syria, while bleeding the Assad-Iran-Russia-Hezbollah victors, is a formula for endless war and unending terrors visited upon the Syrian people.

What injury did the Assad

regime, in power for half a century and having never attacked us, inflict to justify what we have helped to do to that country?

Is this war moral by our own standards?

We overthrew Saddam Hussein in 2003 and Moammar Gadhafi in 2012.

Yet, the fighting, killing and dying in both countries have not ceased. Estimates of the Iraq civilian and military dead run into the hundreds of thousands.

Still, the worst humanitarian disaster may be unfolding in Yemen.

After the Houthis overthrew the Saudi-backed regime and took over the country, the Saudis in 2015 persuaded the United States to support its air strikes, invasion and blockade.

By January 2016, the U.N. estimated a Yemeni civilian death toll of 10,000, with 40,000 wounded. However, the blockade of Yemen, which imports 90 percent of its food, has caused a crisis of malnutrition and impending famine that threatens millions of the poorest people in the Arab world with starvation.

No matter how objectionable we found these dicta-

tors, what vital interests of ours were so imperiled by the continued rule of Saddam, Assad, Gadhafi and the Houthis that they would justify what we have done to the peoples of those countries?

Among the principles for a just war, it must be waged as a last resort, to address a wrong suffered, and by a legitimate authority. Deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.

The wars in Syria, Libya and Yemen were never authorized by Congress. The civilian dead, wounded and uprooted in Syria, and the malnourished millions in Yemen, represent a moral cost that seems far beyond any proportional moral gain from those conflicts.

In which of the countries we have attacked or invaded in this century are the people better off than they were before we came?

And we wonder why they hate us.

Soaring with the paper towel pilot

BY JIMMY C. REED Special Columnist

My Piper Cub airplane was due for an airworthiness inspection at a large airport, but since the little airplane had no radio equipment, I called the control tower and requested permission to fly in from a nearby crop duster’s strip.

The controller assigned an arrival time and said that he would blink a green light if I was clear to land. What should have been a routine procedure turned out to be one of the most bizarre incidents in my flying career.

Since the day was warm, I locked the airplane’s doors in the open position and strapped myself into the rear seat. Directly behind my head in the cargo

area, I had stued three large bundles of paper towels, the kind that overlap so that when one is pulled from a dispenser, the next one is available.

At one thousand feet I entered the airport traďŹƒc pattern.

Just as I received the controller’s signal, I became engulfed in a fluttering, flapping kaleidoscopic blur, as thousands of paper towels were sucked into a swirling vortex inside the cockpit, created by the slipstream rushing past the open doors.

They swirled around me — sticking to my face, the windshield, and the instrument panel, while others were sucked into the slipstream, leaving a trail of fluttering flotsam floating behind.

Across The State

Every time I clawed towels from my face others replaced them. I was flying blind! Panicking, I leaned out into the slipstream of the wobbling, diving aircraft, hoping the wind would clear the towels from my face long enough to see something recognizable.

With half my body hanging out of the airplane, I glimpsed a familiar landmark and turned to what I hoped was ninety degrees to the runway. Still I knew that aligning with it for final approach would be a wild guess since towels covering the windshield blocked all view to the front.

As the little yellow bird descended, I searched for any indication that it was time to begin final approach. With no

Hood, Reeves spar over budget in Neshoba fair speeches PHILADELPHIA — Mississippi Republicans are harming the public by cutting health spending, Democrat Jim Hood said Wednesday, but Republican Tate Reeves said it’s the Democrats who are hurting people by fighting GOP efforts to cut taxes in Mississippi.

Hood, the state’s attorney general, and Reeves, the lieutenant governor, voiced their stark differences on the state budget in back-to-back speeches at the Neshoba County Fair. They addressed hundreds of spectators in and around a tin-roofed pavilion at the heart of the fairgrounds south of Philadelphia.

Hood said the Republican-controlled Legislature is hurting people by cutting mental health funding as opioid addiction spreads. He also said lawmakers have fallen short in funding schools and highways.

He pointed to other states where Republican-led legislatures and governors cut taxes and later had budget problems.

But Reeves said Hood and other “liberals� are fighting Republicans’ efforts to cut taxes in Mississippi.

Reeves said Republican leaders “have taken on the status quo, and we have the bullet holes to show for it.�

Reeves and Hood are widely seen as possible contenders for governor in 2019. But, neither made a formal announcement of candidacy at the fair.

Northeast was also named a 5-star chapter, the highest ranking given to any chapter, for the fifteenth consecutive year.

In order to become a fivestar chapter, the local organization must set a plan in place at the beginning of the year and meet rigorous standards throughout the year to be considered for five-star status.

While the national oďŹƒce provides a plan for achieving five-star status, it is up to the local chapter advisors and oďŹƒcers to see that that plan is carried out throughout the year.

By meeting rigorous standards, the chapter can be awarded one, two, three, four or five – the highest honor a Phi Theta Kappa chapter can receive – stars.

Northeast’s Iota Zeta chapter has also been recognized as an exemplary model as well as a Top 100

chapter nationally and was ranked sixth on the 2015 Phi Theta Kappa President’s List, which lists the Top 25 colleges nationally by their 2015 acceptance rates.

Grand jury to get case of man accused of killing 8 BROOKHAVEN — A grand jury can decide whether to indict a Mississippi man charged with killing a deputy, his mother-in-law and six others who were his relatives or acquaintances, a judge said Wednesday.

Willie Cory Godbolt, 35, remains jailed without bond as he has been since his arrest May 28, shortly after the fatal shootings that started after witnesses say Godbolt was arguing with his estranged wife.

The killings May 27 and 28 occurred at three homes in and around the south Mississippi city of Brookhaven.

A deputy responded to a disturbance call at Godbolt’s in-laws’ home, and the shootings started there.

Deputy William Durr, Godbolt’s mother-in-law Barbara Mitchell and two others were killed at the first home.

Two cousins, an 11-year-old and an 18-year-old, were killed at the second home. A husband and wife were slain at the third home.

Judge Bryan Harbour heard testimony Wednesday from a state law enforcement officer who helped investigate at two of the three houses. Jason Leggett, the officer from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, which is part of the Highway Patrol, identified Godbolt as the suspect in all of the killings. “I find that the state has successfully convinced me that eight crimes were committed and that Mr. Godbolt committed those crimes,� the judge said, though he noted the probable cause hearing was not a trial.

With a sigh of relief, I saw the runway numbers. Gently, the wheels touched pavement and the Cub rolled to a stop.

Just as I killed the engine, a stern-faced man stepped out of an airport security vehicle and told me to report to the control tower immediately. That’s it, I thought. My pilot’s license will be jerked.

Amazon plans to hire thousands

BY JOSEPH PISANI Associated Press

NEW YORK — Amazon plans to make thousands of job offers in just one day as it holds a giant job fair next week at nearly a dozen warehouses across the U.S. Those offered jobs on the spot will pack or sort boxes and help ship them to customers. Nearly 40,000 of the 50,000 jobs will be full time.

Most of these jobs will count toward Amazon’s previously announced goal of adding 100,000 full-time workers by the middle of next year.

The hiring spree is yet another sign of Amazon’s massive growth at a time when traditional retailers are closing stores and cutting jobs.

Preparing for the holidays It’s also a way for Amazon to lock in employees before the start of the busy holiday shopping season, when other retailers look to hire seasonal workers. Retailers

are facing a tighter job market; the nation’s unemployment rate is 4.4 percent, near a 16-year low.

Same-day job offers, like Amazon is promising, are “extremely unusual,” said Andrew Chamberlain, the chief economist at job site Glassdoor.

He said a shortage of workers, plus Amazon’s rapid growth, is likely why the company is trying to scoop up workers quickly.

“There are just not as many available bodies,” Chamberlain said. “It can be a real challenge to hire.”

Labor growth Amazon has long been known for investing the money it makes back into its businesses. Part of that involves opening new warehouses, or fulfillment centers, and filling them with employees. Consequently, Amazon has often reported quarterly losses , even as revenue grows.

The number of full-

Police: One-armed clown wielding machete arrested Associated Press

HOLLIS, Maine — A man is accused of drunkenly strolling down a Maine road wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and a clown mask and brandishing a machete taped to where his arm had been amputated.

Maine State Police say 31-year-old Corey Berry, of Hollis, was arrested Tuesday and charged with criminal threatening. He was released after posting $200 bail.

Police say Berry was first spotted in Hollis but then fled into the woods.

He was taken into custody after re-emerging in Waterboro. Police say Berry was intoxicated but cooperative. He told officers that he was copying previous clown sightings as a prank.

A phone number for Berry couldn’t be found Wednesday. It wasn’t known if he has a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.

“THE FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING” In discussing the different ways people of his day viewed the message of the gospel, Paul said: “It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe” (I Corinthians 1:21). The reference is not to be understood as a condemnation of the practice of preaching, or of preachers themselves, but as a reference to the message that is being preached. In further discussing the “specifics” of the gospel, Paul said to the same readers: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain (I Corinthians 15:1, 2). It seems clear then that salvation comes as a result of obedience to the message of the gospel.

(See Romans 1:16 and 10:8-17) But, not everyone who hears, believes and accepts that message.

In the text originally cited, Paul said that to the Jews that message was a “stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness: but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (I Corinthians 1:23, 24). In writing a second letter to the Corinthian church, Paul said; “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4). Jesus, in Matthew 13:15, quoted from Isaiah of those whose heart had grown hard, their ears were dull of hearing, and whose eyes had been closed, rather than allowing themselves to see and hear and understand, ”and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

Observe the different responses to Paul’s message on Mars Hill: “And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, ‘We will hear thee again on this matter’ …Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed” (Acts 17:32, 34) As we consider the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, will we believe and obey, and enjoy the blessings of salvation, or shall we turn away in unbelief?

We invite all who will, to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

time and part-time workers at Amazon has swelled from 56,000 at the end of 2011 to more than 340,000 last year.

In roughly the same period, the number of people employed by the parent company of Sears and Kmart has been slashed in half to about 140,000 workers.

Amazon plans to expand further: It recently announced a $13.7 billion deal to buy organic grocer Whole Foods, it added Sears’ Kenmore appliances to its website and it’s rolling out its own ready-to-cook meal kits, competing with companies such as Blue Apron.

The details Amazon’s stock increased $12.93, or 1 percent, to close at $1,052.80 Wednesday, after Amazon announced its plans.

Amazon.com Inc. said its jobs offer health insurance, disability insurance, retirement savings plans and company stock. Pay differs based

on location, according to job postings on Amazon’s site. It is offering a starting rate of $13 an hour for a full-time job in Baltimore and $12.25 an hour for a similar position in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The job fair will take place next Wednesday from 8 a.m. to noon local time and will include tours and sessions with company representatives. Job prospects will also be introduced to robots and other automation technology Amazon uses at its warehouse operations.

The event will take place at 10 Amazon shipping sites. Besides Baltimore and Kenosha, they are Chattanooga, Tennessee; Etna, Ohio; Fall River, Massachusetts; Hebron, Kentucky; Kent, Washington; Robbinsville, New Jersey; Romeoville, Illinois and Whitestown, Indiana.

Amazon will also hold events for part-time positions in Oklahoma City and Buffalo, New York.

Trump: Bar transgender troops from U.S. military Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump abruptly declared a ban Wednesday on transgender troops serving anywhere in the U.S. military, catching the Pentagon flat-footed and unable to explain what it called Trump’s “guidance.” His proclamation, on Twitter rather than any formal announcement, drew bipartisan denunciations and threw currently serving transgender soldiers into limbo.

“Please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” the commander in chief tweeted.

Trump wrote that he had consulted with “my generals and military experts,” but he did not mention Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the retired Marine general who less than one month ago told the military service chiefs to spend another six months weighing the costs and benefits of allowing transgender individuals to enlist. At the time, Mattis said this “does not presuppose the outcome of the review,” but Trump’s tweets appeared to have done just that.

The Pentagon has refused to release any data on the number of transgender people currently serving. A Rand Corp. study has estimated the number at between 1,320 and 6,630 out of 1.3 million active-duty troops.

Criticism for Trump’s action was immediate and strong from both political parties.

His action is “harmful, misguided and weakens, not strengthens our military,” said Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

John McCain, the Arizona Republican and Vietnam War hero, said Trump was simply wrong.

“Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving,” he said. “There is no reason to force service members who are able to fight, train and deploy to leave the military -- regardless of their gender identity.”

Not everyone at the Capitol agreed.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said, “The president’s decision was the absolute right decision. ...

It’s about time that a decision is made to restore the warrior culture and allow the U.S. military to get back to business.”

JULY 27, 2017 8 PM

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Why was Crossroads Magazine named one of the best in the state by the Mississippi Press Association last year? Find out in the special Dream Homes Edition coming out Saturday, July 29, where readers will learn about Ron and Wendy Tigner’s dream home, Tim Huggins’ massive hunting lodge and the transformation of the Hester Battery Apartments by Dr. Nick Dodd.

Dad suspects he’s judged for his stay-at-home status D E A R ABBY: I’m at my wits’ end.

I have been unemployed for almost two years.

My wife has Abigail been workVan Buren ing during that time.

We have Dear Abby two girls I take care of as a stay-at-home dad.

Although I have consistently searched for work, I haven’t found anything, and it’s driving me crazy.

I have edited and re-edited my resume, but nothing has happened.

My question is, do women (and men) think stay-at-home dads are lazy people who leech off their wives?

I have to admit negative thoughts have crossed my mind, and I sometimes worry that people -- relatives -- think I’m a low life or incompetent.

Is this true? -- STAY-AT-HOME DAD DEAR DAD: I know you are frustrated, but you are being needlessly hard on yourself.

While some people still think that way, an increasing number no longer do.

The traditional roles of the woman staying home and the man being the breadwinner have, of necessity as well as choice, become increasingly reversed since the beginning of the new millennium.

The realities of today are far different than they were 10, 20, 30 years ago.

I don’t know if your relatives feel the way you suspect they do, but if you think that’s what’s happening, talk to them and straighten them out.

This truism isn’t original, but it applies to much that’s happening in the world today: The only thing that’s constant is change.

DEAR ABBY: My son and his wife live 6 miles from me.

They have a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son.

The only time I am guaranteed to see my son and his family is on my birthday.

The most I have ever seen my grandkids is four or five times a year.

Last year, I saw them on my birthday and on my grandson’s birthday. They never initiate any other interactions. I occasionally see my son if he needs to come by to pick up personal items still at my house. I have the impression that they see her family members frequently.

My son works two jobs and drives 70-plus miles to work four days a week.

The only time they really have together is on Sunday.

I realize my son is very busy, but I would like to see them more often.

Do you have any suggestions about approaching him about more contact?

In the past when I’ve mentioned it he became defensive, as if I were trying to put a guilt trip on him. -- HOPING FOR MORE DEAR HOPING: Your mistake may be in waiting for your son and daughter-in-law to do the inviting.

You might have better luck if you offered to stop by for a visit, or to watch the grandkids so their mother can have a little time for herself.

Clearly, your son is on a tight schedule, and he does need to have time alone with his wife and kids. Granted, you would not be seeing your son, but half a loaf is better than none.

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).

To feel that everything is a necessity is a warning sign that you may be avoiding an uncomfortable reality. The truth is that your necessities are covered, for the most part. So what is this trumped-up sense of urgency really about?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Eye contact is your most effective accessory. Of course, it’s impossible to wear well while using your phone. It’s like hiding a Cartier watch in your pants pocket.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

An obsession with the perfect moments of the past can be a lovely distraction every bit as fanciful as fictional storytelling. Tap into your own artistry.

Play around with this. History is more art than science.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

No place is inherently superior.

Each place is just a better or worse fit for the organism trying to inhabit it. Though there may be no point to building a metaphorical boat to get to the next place, build it anyway. You

were meant to sail.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you act intentionally, your action automatically has a purpose. When you act unintentionally, the purpose is lost. Get aware. If you don’t know your own motivations, figure them out or make them up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The scene will change, and you will need to change, too. That which dissolves you allows you the opportunity to build yourself up anew (and to custom specs, too).

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The story of meeting a person is likely to reflect the story of the entire relationship. No pressure! But it does make you think twice about your social game -- and introductions specifically.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You have already learned what you need to do. Now the question is whether you are at liberty to do so. This is one of those times when it will be better to seek forgiveness than permission.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your contributions are quality and should be honored as such. Particularly precious is your attention. Loved ones need to value this, or you will not be very inclined to give it so well again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Lao Tzu said, “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” In the next 24 hours, you’ll get the opportunity to benefit from both sides of this statement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People may behave in pitiful ways, but do not give them your pity. No one knows what to do with pity. You can’t eat it or wear it. Give help, support or something more concrete instead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You need many more muscles to frown than you do to smile.

Both are more interesting than a blank, slack stare (creepy!), which takes no effort at all.

Emotional engagement is your preferred work of the day.

Tech kings of cash

Cash held by U.S. companies $2 trillion

1.8 1.5

Technology companies are becoming almost as adept at hoarding as they are at innovating.

The tech industry ended last year with $871 billion in cash, accounting for nearly half of the $1.84 trillion amassed that year by U.S. companies, according to an analysis by Moody’s Investors Service. The breakdown excludes banks and other financial companies.

A decade ago, U.S tech companies held about $230 billion in cash, less than one-third of the total in corporate America.

That cash is a big reason investors treasure tech. Apple, Google parent Alphabet and Microsoft are the three most valuable companies in the world, with a combined market value of about $2 trillion. They also happen to be the three companies with the most cash, with a collective $464 billion at the end of 2016.

Plenty of cash makes it easier for tech companies to buy their own stock, which helps boost the price. Buybacks also increase earnings per share, one of the gauges investors use to assess a company’s value.

Tech companies spent $93 billion buying back stock last year, accounting for 44 percent of all such repurchases in the U.S.

On a roll Wall Street expects that Intel’s latest quarterly results improved from a year earlier.

Financial analysts predict the computer chip maker will report today that its earnings and revenue increased in the second quarter.

That would be in line with the company’s results in the first quarter and 2016. Beyond earnings, investors will be listening for an update on Intel’s move earlier this year to buy autonomous vehicle technology company Mobileye.

The blackest of sheep causes problems Dear Annie: My sister and I have a lying, cheating brother who has bankrupted our elderly parents through his recklessness and greed.

He coerced them to sign over everything to him for loans and personal guarantees for his business, which went bankrupt.

He does not help with their care or managing their financial problems, which he created.

Our dad now has skyhigh legal bills to manage losing their home and farm.

My brother also took all their savings.

Though our parents are still alive, I know that soon we will be facing both of their funerals, and I can’t stand the idea of planning funerals with this brother or even seeing him there.

I can’t imagine my siblings and me sitting in church with him and all of us taking turns telling about our parents’ lives when our brother ruined them.

Could my siblings and I walk out if he demanded to speak at the funerals?

I hate to make a scene when the funerals should be about our mom and dad. — Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: If you haven’t already

Dear Annie spoken to a lawyer, contact one today to see whether you have any means of recourse to protect your parents and salvage some of their finances and assets from your brother.

As for allowing your brother to speak at their funerals: Unless your parents explicitly say that they don’t want him to, let him say his piece.

What matters most is what your mom and dad want, and I don’t think they’d want to see their children fighting at their funerals.

Remember that whatever your brother has done, they’ve still always loved him as their little boy.

Honor that by setting aside your (legitimate) issues with your brother, if just for two days.

Dear Annie: I am an 87-year-old widow with a common problem: estate issues.

I have four children,

two of whom are in moderate circumstances and two of whom are very wealthy.

Many years ago, your predecessor said to divide the estate evenly regardless of the adult children’s circumstances.

I do not agree.

I plan to leave everything to the two who are in moderate circumstances.

I don’t plan on having it be a surprise; I will tell all four of them very soon.

What is your take on this?

I know it can divide siblings.

But I do not foresee problems.

If I live 10 more years, they will all be about 70 when they inherit the money. — Future Benefactor in North Carolina Dear Future Benefactor: Of course, it is ultimately your estate, and you’re welcome to do with it whatever you’d like.

But I have to side with Ann Landers on this issue as a general rule: Divide the estate evenly to avoid dividing your children from one another.

Who is the best QB in the SEC? The question on the table this week for “Ask Kent” is: “Who is the best quarterback in the SEC this fall?”

A better question might be who “will” be the best.

Out of the 14 Southeastern Conference football teams, only three will likely start senior QBs, while eight projected startKent ers have one year or less of Mohundro starting experience in the rugged SEC. Sports Editor The first thing to do when considering the question at hand is list the projected starters and go from there. Following is a list of names expected to be at the controls when their respective teams kick off the 2017 season in September.

Beginning in the West — the proclaimed best division in college football — Mississippi State will start redshirt sophomore

Ask Kent Nick Fitzgerald, who led the SEC in total offense last season in his first starting gig.

Sophomore Shea Patterson gives Ole Miss another heralded signal caller with skyhigh expectations. Alabama sophomore Jalen Hurts was named the SEC’s MVP as a freshman in 2016 and should be even better this fall.

Arkansas still has senior Austin Allen, while LSU and Auburn will be breaking in new starting transfers: sophomore Jarrett Stidham for Auburn and senior Danny Ettling at LSU. Stidham is eligible now after transferring in from Baylor last year.

Ettling transferred in from Purdue and played for the Tigers last season.

Texas A&M will go with either freshman Nick Starkel or senior Jake Hubenak.

In the East, Florida will likely start red-

shirt freshman Felipe Franks, while Tennessee is still undecided between junior Quinton Dormady and sophomore Jarrett Guarantano. Sophomore Jacob Eason will be the man at Georgia after an upand-down freshman season. Junior Drew Lock or freshman Micah Wilson will start at Missouri, while senior Stephen Johnson will get the call at Kentucky.

South Carolina and Vanderbilt are solid under center as both field returning starters. Sophomore Jake Bentley will guide the Gamecocks while junior Kyle Shurmur will be in control for the Commodores.

Now that we’ve looked at the projected starters, the question still remains: “Who’s the best?” The answer to that question lies in how you define “the best.”

If you’re simply looking to deem a certain QB better because of perception, then your answer would be different than if you Please see ASK | 11

Near sweep Brawner wins on Coke Tour Corinth High School sophomore Davis Brawner had a successful trip to Starkville this week as he placed first in the boys’ 1415 division during the final leg of the Coke Summer Junior Golf Tour at Starkville Country Club. Brawner held off Alex Richey of Tupelo Wednesday to claim the trophy and the gold.

Local junior golf tour participants Dillion Sartain and Davis Brawner nearly pulled off an Alcorn County sweep during Wednesday’s final stop on the Coke Junior Golf Summer Tour at Starkville Country Club.

Brawner carded a final round 79 for a two-day total of 154 and first place in the boys’ 14-15 age division. Sartain recorded consecutive rounds of 72, but was outdone by a single stroke by Jake Knight, who fired a 69 on Wednesday to win the boys’ 16-18 division.

NJCAA awards 17 Northeast athletes Northeast Sports Information

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.

— Northeast Mississippi Community College’s ambassadors on the court or field of competition continue to gain acknowledgement for their successful efforts in the scholastic realm.

Seventeen players representing six Northeast sports programs received Academic Student-Athlete Awards from the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

Four Tigers collected NJCAA All-Academic First Team honors for maintaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average (GPA).

Five earned second team recognition with GPAs between 3.8 and 3.99 while eight others garnered third team laurels for holding a GPA between 3.6 through 3.79.

In addition, three of Northeast’s athletic programs that are sanctioned by the NJCAA also obtained All-Academic Team distinction for retaining

overall GPAs at or above 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

“We are extremely proud of all the hard work by our student-athletes this past year,” said Northeast athletic director Kent Farris. “Our coaches stress the importance of academic success leading to more opportunities for our athletes down the road. It is great to see them take that advice to heart.”

The softball squad, which has now been in the playoffs 15 times in 17 seasons since

transitioning from slow-pitch, compiled a school-best 3.18 GPA to achieve NJCAA AllAcademic Team status.

The trio of Hannah Cox, Madison Davis and Molly Walden were decorated by the NJCAA for a second consecutive year. Walden of New Site High School led the way with a flawless 4.0 GPA to gain first team accolades.

The Rebels earned the prestigious ITA All-Academic Team Award and three players were named Scholar-Athletes, as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association announced the yearly academic honors Tuesday.

It marks the 11th time overall and sixth in the last seven

years for the Rebels to receive the ITA All-Academic Team Award.

This award requires a minimum overall 3.2 grade point average to be considered. The Rebels posted a 3.35 GPA for the 2016-17 academic year, including leading all male sports at Ole Miss with a 3.47 in the spring. Every member of the team made at least a 3.00 GPA in the spring as the Rebels earned their second-highest semester GPA in recorded history.

“We are extremely pleased to see our team do well in the classroom this past year,” head coach Toby Hansson said. “It shows that our guys take their academics very seriously. As always it is a team effort and we are very thankful for all the academic support that our guys receive starting with our academic counselor Drew Clinton and all the staff and tutors at the FedEx Academic Support Center.”

In addition to the team award, Zvonimir Babic (Za-

greb, Croatia), Grey Hamilton (Southern Pines, North Carolina) and Robert Mounger (Jackson, Mississippi) were named ITA Scholar-Athletes, which requires a minimum of a 3.50 GPA for the year.

The Rebels have had at least one player named an ITA Scholar-Athlete 16 straight years.

Babic earned the honor for the third time in as many years.

Hamilton and Mounger received the award for the second time in their careers.

Bulldogs first on the field Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins and the Mississippi State Bulldogs were the first collegiate D-1 football team to start fall practice this year when they began drills this week. MSU made its seventh straight bowl appearance last season despite a sub-500 record. They intend to leave no doubt this fall.

Cavaliers brass reject talk of Irving trade The Associated Press

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert spent more than 30 minutes presenting a positive portrait of his franchise.

The reality is that the Cavs are troubled.

In his first public comments since Kyrie Irving asked to be traded, Gilbert would not confirm whether he’ll honor the All-Star point guard’s request, but he also didn’t rule out the real possibility that Cleveland may deal its second best player — or if he thinks LeBron James will stay around beyond next season.

“These things are fluid,” Gilbert said. “We think that Kyrie Irving is one of the best guards in the NBA. He was part of a championship, three

years straight to the Finals and we value his talent — significantly.”

Despite several direct questions about Irving’s status, Gilbert would not provide any specifics about recent conversations with him or his agent. Gilbert said he expected the 25-yearold, whose jumper in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals propelled Cleveland to its first championship since the Browns in 1964, to be at training camp with the team in September.

“Right now Kyrie Irving is under contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers for two or three years, depending on the last year,” Gilbert said.

“As of now he’s one of our best players and sure, we expect him to be in camp.”

ASK CONTINUED FROM 10

based it on stats and the style of offense they run.

As far as pure talent and NFL-caliber ability goes, then you’d have to put Eason, Patterson, Fitzgerald, Allen and Lock in that category.

But if you base it on stats alone, then Fitzgerald is your guy. All he did in his first full season replacing Dak Prescott is lead the SEC in total offense while leading his team with over 1,300 yards on the ground. His 37 touchdowns responsible-for led the league.

Hurts did Fitzgerald one better as a true freshman by leading the Tide to the national championship game and being named the League’s most valuable player.

Allen has simply plugged along and continued to put up big numbers at Arkansas by passing for over 3,400 yards and 25 touchdowns last season.

Allen will need to cut his 15 interceptions back in order to be considered the best in the SEC though.

Bentley stepped in and became the surprise of the conference QBs by calmly leading South Carolina to wins in four of their final six games in 2016 and a Birmingham Bowl appearance where he set three individual bowl passing records.

Shurmur and Lock have the potential to put up huge numbers in their respective offenses, but Shurmur will have a tougher time doing that because the ’Dores don’t operate a run-and-shoot type of offense.

So now comes the moment of truth: Who do I deem as the best in the SEC at the quarterback position?

Let me qualify my answer by saying that I’m guessing as much as the next guy. But based upon what I’ve seen so far and the expectations of each team in the SEC and what they have coming back, I’ll list three QBs I expect to be considered the best when the 2017 season comes to an end.

I look for Fitzgerald to continue trending upwards and improving in year two as a starter. Does that mean he’ll have better overall stats? Not necessarily. But players can be better without having to put up gaudy numbers.

I also expect Allen to be there when the dust settles.

For my third pick it’s a coin-toss for sure, but I’m going with Patterson simply based on the offense the Rebels employ and his 5-star status coming out of high school.

Patterson was thrown to the lions last season with little preparation time. But he’s had a full year now to strengthen his communications and chemistry with a boatload of talented receivers. So unless Ole Miss implodes under NCAA sanctions, Patterson will be there in the end as well.

Others I considered for the third spot were Eason, Stidham, Hurts and Bentley.

Until next time ...

ing to steal from behind the plate in his inaugural campaign with the Tigers. He captured the NJCAA All-Academic Third Team award as well with a 3.73 GPA. Max Ludka also attained his spot on the third team listing with a 3.62 GPA. The Traverse City, Mich., product had the most innings of any Northeast reliever with 33.1 frames in 16 outings.

“We are very proud of our guys that put forth the effort in the classroom,” said Tigers head coach Richy Harrelson. “We really appreciate their commitment and desire to be the best.”

An emphasis on classwork has always been part of the fabric of the traditionrich women’s basketball department at Northeast. The Lady Tigers did not lower their standards this year by acquiring NJCAA All-Academic Team honors once again with a 3.0 GPA on the dot.

Tyra Tucker of Calhoun City paced Northeast with a 3.83 GPA, which positioned her on the NJCAA All-Ac-

also were two of the hardest working in class,” said Northeast headman Mark Hatfield. “Their classroom work only proves that they were both outstanding students. It was a pleasure to coach them both.”

The football team had a very memorable season that included a top 10 finish in the final NJCAA rankings.

An offensive starter on that team is among those being recognized for their intellectual achievements.

Hernando’s Bo Canton amassed a 3.75 GPA to garner NJCAA All-Academic Third Team prestige. He caught eight passes from the tight end position, including a touchdown during a victory at Mississippi Delta Community College.

“It’s a great pleasure to have a young man that enjoys the game of football as much as Bo does and that excels in the classroom,” Tigers head coach Greg Davis said. “He worked extremely hard to carry the load athletically and the pressure academically.”

A freshman that ended up becoming one of the best standouts in doubles matches on the women’s side of the tennis program completes the list of national recipients for Northeast.

Sara Talley of Kossuth nabbed third team laurels with a GPA of 3.71. She was part of three doubles triumphs, including a pair versus rival Northwest Mississippi Community College, and also competed in the No. 6 singles slot.

“Whether it was studying on the bus or in between matches, Sara would not take her grades lightly,” said Northeast headman Stewart Moore. “She is to be commended for this honor and I know her family will be as equally proud of her as I am.”

The NJCAA had an alltime high of 6,006 athletes that accrued special merit for their educational performances during the 2016-17 academic year. Freshmen or sophomores with at least 24 hours of coursework were eligible for these prizes.

(Ala.) High School and Booneville’s Davis qualified for second team commendation with near identical GPAs. Davis tallied a 3.9 mark for the year while Cox, who won the prestigious Tiger Award as well, checked in at 3.89.

Janay Maxwell was dynamic on the base paths as a freshman for Northeast.

The North Pike High School alumnus also made an impact in her studies and accumulated a 3.78 GPA for NJCAA All-Academic Third Team exaltation.

“We recruit athletes that want to be the best in every aspect of life,” Tigers head coach Jody Long said. “It’s about having expectations while pushing and guiding our athletes to reach goals and perform in the classroom and on the field.”

The baseball club had the most individual honorees with eight men drawing praise for their work. Northeast also had the fourth highest GPA among Missis-

sippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) members at 3.15.

The Tigers had three that placed on the NJCAA All-Academic First Team, which was tied for second best in the Magnolia State.

Ryan Holland and Eli Murphree from Lafayette County High School plus Josh Stillman of New Hope High School all recorded spotless GPAs. Isaac Sparks was the lone second team delegate for the diamond Tigers with a 3.8 GPA. The Belmont native appeared in 26 games during his sophomore campaign and had two triples, which tied him for most on the team with three others.

John Murphree (3.61) of Oxford and Caleb Todd (3.75) from North Pontotoc High School represent Northeast’s outfield on the NJCAA All-Academic Third Team. Murphree and Todd were solid defensively with only four errors combined in 74 attempts.

Ripley’s Tucker Childers caught 11 runners attempt-

ademic Second Team. The freshman guard averaged 6.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game for the NJCAA Region 23 semifinalist Lady Tigers.

“The girls have worked hard and are deserving of this award,” Lady Tigers head coach Brenda Mayes said. “They have represented Northeast well and I am so proud of the effort they exhibited on and off the court.”

Two Northeast golfers in Alex Floyd of Booneville and Ken Waddell from Belmont gathered second team and third team accolades from the NJCAA, respectively, with similar GPAs of 3.8 and 3.72.

Floyd participated in four MACJC tour stops during his freshman campaign with an average round score of 89.8. Waddell, who was the Tiger Award recipient for the golf program, had a season-best round of 80 twice as a sophomore.

MAGNOLIA STUMP GRINDING

When I am gone, release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do, You mustnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given me in happiness.

I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust That it is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart.

I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be far away for life goes on.

And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear All my love around you soft and clear And then, when you come this way alone, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll greet you with a smile and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome Homeâ&#x20AC;?.
