From the Desk of Joseph L. Pratt M.D. Dear Friends,

I fully endorse and support Greg Younger for the position of Alcorn County Chancery Clerk. Greg and I have known each other since kindergarten and have been best friends for over forty years. After college, my path led me to medical school and to service in the United States Air Force. Greg’s path led him to serving the people of Alcorn County as Tax Collector. Greg was first elected to the office of Tax Collector in 1987 at the age of 26. Greg ran unopposed in the next five elections for a total of six terms (24 years) as tax collector, ending in 2011. Four years ago, Greg ran for Chancery Clerk but fell 98 votes short of that goal. He decided to put his knowledge and experience to work in private business, forming his own company, County Office Accounting/Staffing/Technology, LLC. In his business, he has assisted 17 counties in Mississippi and Alabama with accounting, financial planning, and technological needs. Overall, Greg has 28 years of experience in county government and during that time he has provided assistance to many county offices including Chancery Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Justice Court, Tax Assessor and Tax Collector in many ways. Throughout the years he has been called upon by supervisors in several counties for assistance in estimating of ad valorem tax revenue, budgeting, and financial planning. I, like most of you, am concerned about our county government and the future of Alcorn County. Let’s allow the candidate with the most knowledge, experience, and ability to fill this position and let him help guide our county through this critical time. I urge you to, go to the polls this Tuesday (August 4th) and vote for Greg Younger as your next Alcorn County Chancery Clerk y Sincerely,

Joseph L. Pratt M.D.

Today in History Today is Sunday, August 2, the 214th day of 2015. There are 151 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 2, 1985, 137 people were killed when Delta Air Lines Flight 191, a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

On this date: In 1876, frontiersman “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged. In 1939, Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging creation of an atomic weapons research program. President Roosevelt signed the Hatch Act, which prohibited civil service employees from taking an active part in political campaigns. In 1943, during World War II, U.S. Navy boat PT-109, commanded by Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy, sank after being rammed in the middle of the night by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri off the Solomon Islands. Two crew members were killed. In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup. (Dean ended up serving four months.) In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out in Operation Desert Storm.)

Ten years ago: An Air France jetliner from Paris skidded off a runway while landing at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport during a storm and burst into flames; all 309 people aboard survived.

Local/Region Across the Region Teenager drowns in Pickwick Lake IUKA — A 17-year-old football player has drowned in Pickwick Lake. East Union High School junior T.J. Hamblin was on a football retreat at J.P. Coleman State Park in Tishomingo County on Friday. He was in the water around 6 p.m. swimming when the teen become distressed. Hamblin’s body was recovered around 9 p.m., according to Tishomingo County officials.

McNairy schools prepare for move SELMER, Tenn. — The McNairy County School System’s central office is waiting to make their move from the courthouse and other locations to the McNairy County Annex building (formerly Pickwick Electric Cooperative). The holdup at the moment is the Internet company from Nashville has not installed the system. Matt Wood, the school system’s director of technology, is working with the company and has been helping to hasten in

the installation of the system. “The company is swamped this time of the year with school about to begin across the state,” said McNairy County Director of Schools John Prince. “We will get the phone lines moved as soon as Nashville can fit us into their rotation.” Prince said the staff will begin making the move to their new facility as soon as the Internet and phone service are installed and in operation. The director of schools said the system’s custodial crews have been sent to thoroughly clean their part of the building. The crew will also strip and wax the floors to prepare for the workers to move into the new location. The school system will share the annex building with the McNairy County Election Commission and the McNairy County Court Clerk’s Office. The only office moved at this point to the new location is the election commission office.

Our View

First big vote looms Tuesday It’s been a hot election year and our first big vote is Tuesday. A lot of local races won’t be settled in this first primary, but it’s the first important step in choosing local leaders. The primary runoff will follow on Aug. 25, followed by the general election on Nov. 3. Alcorn County Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell and his staff have done an excellent job keeping the community informed on who is on the ballot and reminders on some changes. It’s easy for voters to get confused in the first primary because a person must choose to vote either Democrat or Republican, then stay with the same party in the runoff. Come November, a voter can choose any candidate regardless of party, including independents. As an example, take the sheriff’s race. There are five Democratic candidates in the Tuesday primary, plus an unopposed Republican candidate. More than likely, two Democratic candidates will advance to the runoff and the winner moves on to November. The Nov. 3 general election will have three choices for sheriff — Democratic winner, a Republican and an Independent candidate choice. This example shows why voters must be aware of party choices, so study Joe Caldwell’s sample ballot he has been publishing in the newspaper. Please remember a photo I.D. is required at the polls. And to everyone who has been voting at the former Corinth Y or Sportsplex, you now vote at North Corinth Baptist Church. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Please vote. See you there.

Jason Oliver lived rich, triumphant life PHILADELPHIA — During the Neshoba County Fair – a time reserved for family, fun and politics – I received some news that cast a long shadow over my favorite week of the year. The sad news came that Jason Oliver, 27, of Tupelo had died. When a young person loses their life, we are understandably saddened and we lament the cruelty of death at a young age – when one has everything to life for and their future spread before them like a blank canvas. But Jason Oliver’s grit and determination to live for 27 years - despite every possible reason to quit and succumb to a devastating illness - makes his life an exquisitely rich and triumphant one. Longtime readers of my column will remember that I first wrote about Jason at age 13 back in 2001, when Jason’s mother, Darlene Oliver, took her son’s plight with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy to the 107th Congress to change federal law to authorize research funds specifically for this incurable and frighteningly common disease. The disease was discovered by French neurologist

Dr. Guillame Duchenne in 1868. Since the gene that causes the disease Sid Salter was identified in 1987, Columnist research efforts have struggled to find a successful treatment or cure for the disease. I came to know Darlene Oliver through my former MSU classmate and longtime friend Donna Hunt of Forest, who became one of my late wife Paula’s most faithful and loving friends. Darlene knew of Paula’s struggle with Multiple Sclerosis and often sent notes of encouragement. Through Donna, I also learned of Jason’s battle. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy affects about 1 boy in every 3,000 births, according to the National Institute of Health and is a disease characterized by progressing muscle weakness which in most cases results in death by the age of 20. Darlene and Mike Oliver of Tupelo are the kind of parents who simply never gave up on their commitment to giving their son the

best possible quality of life. I wrote about Jason a second time in 2007 when he was 19 and the Tupelo School District had worked with Jason and his family to make a way for him to graduate from high school despite his physical challenges. Jason’s goals in 2007 were to vote in the statewide elections that year, see an IMAX documentary on the exploration of Mars, and watch the Egg Bowl on TV while rooting for the MSU Bulldogs. Darlene Oliver worked tireless with U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, then a U.S. House member, to fight a tireless battle for federal research dollars to battle this disease. In doing so, Jason and his family helped to bring hope to other children like him across the nation. Cochran and Wicker listened to a Mississippi family’s problems and did what they could to help. In 2001, House Resolution 717 – introduced in the House by Wicker and in the Senate by Cochran – authorized three centers for DMD research at the National Institutes of Health, three centers for DMD epidemi-

ology, data collection and surveillance at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and established an interagency to expand, intensify and coordinate DMD research activities at NIH. Darlene Oliver has been a force of nature on her son’s behalf. Much of the credit for moving the federal government to help DMD victims by expanding research is rightly shared by Darlene and Jason. One day, a cure will be found for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. On that day, we should remember Jason Oliver, a young man who lived his life armed with faith, courage and the love of two remarkable parents. Jason’s legacy is that his family’s work with Congress has provided real research advances and real hope for those who come behind him in facing DMD. Memorials to Jason Oliver can be made to The St. Luke United Methodist Church Tornado Rebuilding Fund, 1300 Clayton Avenue, Tupelo, MS 38804.

Debates vs. debates WARWICK, England — When it comes to debates, the Oxford Union, which bills itself as the “world’s most prestigious debating society,” remains the gold standard. Begun in 1823, The Union, in modern times, has hosted debates that have included such luminaries as Ronald Reagan and the Dalai Lama. The Oxford Union debates produce useful information. The same cannot be said for U.S. presidential debates. Next week, 10 Republican presidential candidates will gather on a stage in Cleveland, Ohio, behind podiums like “Jeopardy” contestants. With so many candidates having so little time, little useful information will be dispensed. More likely the all-male cast will be looking for ways to squeeze in their rehearsed sound bites, which will be replayed in their campaign ads and, they hope, on major news programs. But not to leave anyone out, Fox News has just announced a prequel to the main debate for all the other GOP candidates who failed to meet the requirements for the primetime event. So now Carly Fiorina, George Pataki and Sen. Lindsey Graham will

also get their chance to say little of substance. In 1960, the first televised U.S. Cal presidential Thomas debate pitted John F. KenColumnist nedy against Richard Nixon. Britain, after several failed attempts, aired its first leaders debate in 2010. In 1964, Labour Party Leader Harold Wilson had challenged Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home to debate, but Douglas-Home declined, saying, “You’ll get a sort of ‘Top of the Pops’ contest. You’ll then get the best actor as leader of the country and the actor will be prompted by a scriptwriter.” Given today’s political system, Douglas-Home was prophetic. Leading up to this year’s British election, all parties received TV exposure and debate time, but the best candidate showing may have occurred on March 26 when the three top candidates -Prime Minister David Cameron of the Conservative Party, Labour Party leader Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, who headed the Liberal

Democrats — were grilled in a mesmerizing Q&A session. In that session, the candidates didn’t debate head-tohead, instead host Jeremy Paxman asked questions of each of the candidates, who appeared sequentially for 20 minutes apiece. Then the studio audience asked questions. Many of their questions were better than Paxman’s. Valuable information was conveyed and voter impressions confirmed. Cameron and his party won the election in a landslide. While it’s true, as Republican National Committee Communications Director Sean Spicer wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal, that the GOP has streamlined the debates from 2008 and 2012 -- when there were 23 and 20, respectively -- there need to be more changes in the way we elect our presidents beyond these political fashion shows. This will help us avoid buyer’s remorse, like the kind highlighted in a 2014 Economist/YouGov. com poll that found that only 79 percent of Obama voters would vote for him again, if given the chance. A good first step to improving debates has been the addition of conservative

questioners to debate panels. For the 2016 GOP debates, NBC/Telemundo and National Review will sponsor one; CNN will partner with Salem Media Group, a Christian network, for another, and ABC and the Independent Journal Review will partner for a third. In addition, notes Spicer, “There will have been 25 candidate forums before the first debate. ... These forums, from CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee), to Citizens United to the forum on SiriusXM on the Wednesday before the first debate, allow the candidates to address voters directly without the back-and-forth of a debate.” This is progress. One hopes the Democrats will follow the Republican example, or better still, the example of the Oxford Union. If you’ve never seen what a real debate looks like, go to oxford-union.org and find the link to YouTube for some of the most exciting political and social issue exchanges you will ever see. Next week’s debate is unlikely to come anywhere close. (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.)

ALTURAS, Calif. — A firefighter killed by a wildfire in Northern California was exploring for ways to attack it when he became trapped after erratic winds stoked the blaze. Information officer Ken Sandusky says U.S. Forest Service firefighter David Ruhl was driving down a road in a vehicle by himself Thursday, scouting the area when the fire became very active. Sandusky says the 38-year-old Ruhl was one of several firefighters looking for ways to fight the then-small fire when it suddenly expanded. Crews fighting the blaze lost communication with Ruhl on Thursday evening. His body

Family feud erupts at Brown’s funeral ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The ongoing tensions between the families of the late megastar Whitney Houston and her ex-husband, R&B singer Bobby Brown, erupted Saturday during a memorial service for their daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Bobbi Kristina, who dreamed of growing up to achieve fame like her mother, died in hospice care July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a

bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome. A longstanding rift between families of the young woman’s famous mother and father broke out into the open at a memorial service being held for Bobbi Kristina at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta. Bobbi Kristina’s death was grimly similar to the way her megastar mother had died three years earlier. Bobbi Kristina was found in the townhome she shared with Nick Gordon, an orphan three years older, whom Houston had raised as her own. Bobbi Kristina referred to him as her husband. A police report earlier this year described the incident as a drowning, and authorities are investigating her death.

Murder suspect held without bond PHILADELPHIA — A cellmate charged with murdering a Choctaw tribal member is jailed without bond. Neshoba County Justice Court Judge Steve Cumberland denied bond Friday to Justyn Schlegel, a 34-year-old man who lives near Philadelphia. Schlegel was charged Tuesday with murdering Rexdale Wayne Henry. The 53-year-old member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians was found dead in the Neshoba County Jail on July 14. The brother of tribal Vice Chief Ronnie Henry Sr., Rexdale Henry recently lost a race for a tribal council seat. Cumberland says Schlegel doesn’t yet have a lawyer.

Man who killed mom may get inheritance JACKSON — An Ocean Springs man found too mentally disabled to stand trial in the death of his mother may still collect his inheritance. The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled this week that a Jackson County chancellor erred in disinheriting John Armstrong without deciding in a hearing whether he willfully killed his mother. The Clarion-Ledger reports a Mississippi law prevents a person from profiting from killing someone. But there is no case law on whether an individual deemed too mentally disabled to be

Man loses appeal in federal drug case JACKSON — A federal appeals court has upheld the drug conviction of a Lowndes County man. Cedric Calmes of Columbus was convicted by a federal grand jury of sale of narcotics, possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime and unlawful transport of a firearm. He was sentenced in 2014 to 15 years in prison. Calmes was one of three people arrested in a 2011 drug raid. Authorities seized seven ounces of cocaine, 1.7 pounds of marijuana, a .45 caliber handgun and over $9,000 cash from a Columbus home.

Alcorn School District Historical Comparison of End of School Year Enrollment

The number of student releases during my administration has been a topic of discussion in recent weeks. The Alcorn School District Board of Education is the governing body who authorizes or denies student releases. As board membership has changed over the the years, the reasoning and policy interpretation concerning releases has also changed. The Enrollment decline began in 2008. Below is information concerning releases: Enrollment data between 2005 - 2015 2005 - 2008: NET enrollment dropped by 31 students (previous administration) 2008 - 2012: NET enrollment dropped by 234 students (previous administration) 2012 - 2015: NET enrollment dropped by 157 students (during my administration) Between 2012 - 2015, 87% of parents’ request for student releases were for the following reasons: • Siblings enrolled in other school districts • Parents employed in other school districts • Families in the process of relocating to other areas • Transportation or child care needs • Family circumstances • Children who have never been enrolled in the Alcorn School District Releases due to dissatisfaction with the school district were 13%.

Measures Promoting Student Enrollment and Retention Since 2012 • Added 3 Pre-K classes since 2013 funded through grants (The district does not receive state or federal funding for Pre-K students). • Additional vocational classes added or converted to meet student needs. • Increased enrollment in the Alcorn Career and Technical Center by 25%. • Partnered with NEMCC to offer dual enrollment/dual credit academic and vocational classes.

• Career Pathway Graduation Option added. • ACT testing on school campuses. • ACT tutoring at the Administrative District Office. • Workkeys test for Career Pathway students • SATP tutoring at the Administrative District Office. • Summer School “Knowledge Academy” at the Administrative District Office for credit recovery.

So, we borrowed the concept, but decided to put our own spin on it.” Based on the old English system, each unique house has its own name, crest and hues. “It’s going to be one big competition all year long where students will learn to be accountable not just for the technology and themselves, but for each other,” said Courtney Beard who will be teaching 7th and 8th-grade computers. “The kids will try and best each other though grades, projects and other activities, but there will be a lot of fun items as well.

it comes from their peers than they do when we are the only ones holding them accountable.” “It has been a very exciting time for us as educators, preparing the building for our students. We are used to being the middle man in the school system, so it is refreshing to be able to stand out and to come together as a staff for the challenge,” she added. “As a former student and now am instructor here, I find it neat to be able to see both perspectives. I would have loved to have had this in place when I was in school. ” Now in her fourth year of teaching, Beard said the response she has seen from her fellow educators has been amazing. “It has been so fun to see teachers you didn’t think would be so receptive, not only embrace the chal-

lenge but go wild with it,” she said. “We really want to make education exciting for our students and what this challenge will bring to them is unreal.” Operating on a positive behavior system, the CMS Challenge also teaches students the “Essential 50 Skills for Life”. “These are not only skills which will help them personally, but skills their future employees will be looking for as well,” said Hall who is going into his third year as principal. “We as a staff realize our students are at a pivotal point in their education and we want to do more than just teach the curriculum.” Upon arrival, students, parents and guardians will get star treatment as they arrive for the event. “We’ll have a 60 ft. red carpet, paparazzi and

more,” said the principal. “I can’t give away too much more because we want to maintain the mystique, but our goal is to make it as fun, exciting and colorful as we can. It is going to be a fantastic experience, both for students and their parents.” Slated to held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the school’s gym, the four open houses are as follows: ■ Monday, Aug. 3 – 5th grade ■ Thursday, Aug. 6 – 6th grade ■ Monday, Aug. 10 – 7th grade ■ Tuesday, Aug. 11 – 8th grade “I am so excited for the launch of the challenge,” said Corinth School District Data and Marketing Manager Taylor Coombs. “It has been a group effort by all and I think the students are going to love it.”

will be no opponent in November. With three Democratic candidates each, chancery clerk and First District supervisor will likely be decided in the runoff three weeks later. The Republican primary has more happening among the state races but has only one contested county-level race. Absentee ballots have come in at a little slower pace than four years ago. The number voted in person and mailed out had topped 700 by Friday in the Democratic primary and was at about 85 in the Republican primary. For those who haven’t already decided in which primary they will participate, sample ballots will be posted at the voting precincts. Caldwell is predicting a voter turnout of 13,800. Turnout was a little less than 12,000 four years ago.

The clerk is expecting a number of people who haven’t voted since the voter I.D. law went into effect will turn up at the polls, potentially leading to some affidavit ballots being cast. An acceptable form of photo identification is required. The Union Center precinct will have a split for the first time in the state House of Representatives, with some voting for district 2 and some now voting for district 4, which mostly includes Tippah County. However, neither of those seats has a contested primary this year. Although he has withdrawn from the race for Second District supervisor, Dal Nelms’ name will appear on the ballot because it was too late to have it removed. The name of the late Wayne Maddox will also remain on the ballot for constable post 1.

PRIMARY CONTINUED FROM 1A

Clerk Joe Caldwell said one person recently asked if there is a primary for independent candidates. The answer is no, with those candidates appearing on the ballot only in the November general election. “Someone asked if you don’t vote at all in the first primary can you vote in the second primary, and you can,” said Caldwell. However, only the Democratic primary has the potential for runoffs on Aug. 25. More races than in an average year will carry over to November to be decided because of Republican and independent candidates in the mix, but a handful of county races will have a winner Tuesday night — coroner, supervisor for District 5, superintendent of education and tax collector — because there

â€˘ Dedicated to job creation â€˘ Proven leader and successful money manager

I would like to thank the people of the 4th District for the kindness and words of encouragement during this election year. Alcorn County faces some serious challenges over the next few years, but there is none that we cannot overcome. Alcorn County is a wonderful place to live and raise our children and I want to make the future as bright as possible for the coming generations. My education and experience would add diversity to this team of supervisors to help make this happen. I encourage each of you to exercise your right to vote and go to the polls on August 4th and elect Steve Glidewell your next 4th District Supervisorâ€Śâ€Ś

â€œFor the Right Reasonsâ€?. Sincerely,
