Power association election nears BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
For the thousands of ACE Power member-customers, it’s almost time to vote. The election set for Tuesday from 10:30 a.m., to 6 p.m., will decide two of the five positions
on the Alcorn County Power Association’s Board of Directors. Incumbents Jerry Brawner and Sam Tull will vie for the two open positions against newcomers Harrison Childs and James (Jimbo) Bryant, Jr. Other board members not up
for re-election this year include Bobby Roberts, Mark Gardner and J.B. Darnell. Each board member holds a three year term. “A position on the ACE Board of Directors is very important,” said ACE Office Manager Eddie
Howard. “They operate mostly as a policy setting board.” Howard said the board is responsible for reviewing the association’s financials each month, along with approving new contracts and reviewing employee policies.
“The board decides and writes the policies all employees and members must follow,” he added. The election will take place during ACE’s annual meeting Please see ELECTION | 3A

Teachers and educational staff members will be honored Monday during Celebration of Excellence in Education. The free event hosted by the C.A.R.E. Foundation’s Commission of the Future of Alcorn County is set to get started at 8:30 a.m., at the Crossroads Arena. Keynote speaker Angela Maiers will present her program, “Mattering is the Agenda.” The program will incorporate some of her “You Matter” presentation that brought about the global movement of Choose2Matter. “Angela’s keynote is going to be great,” said C.A.R.E. Community Foundation Executive Director Mona Lisa Grady. “She is set to highlight two of her more education-based topics of “Passion-Driven Leading and Learning” and “Habitudes of a 21st Century Learner. It should be very interesting.” According to Maiers website, Passion-Driven states education driven by passion awakens us to new learning and a world bigger than our-
selves. “This session will explore how the principles and practices of a passion-driven work — disciplined study, fostered imagination, active participation and community contribution — transform teaching,” added Grady. The event will also feature an update on the state of the city and county school systems from superintendents Lee Childress and Gina Rogers Smith, along with an update from the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County’s Education Task Force, door prizes and presentation of awards and gifts.

have attended training throughout the summer to learn about personalized/blended learning and the digital content we will have available to improve classroom instruction.” Childress said having eMerge in place will help the district move away from a time-based or Carnegie unit system for a performance-based system. With the move, students will be immersed in a global curriculum in which they judge their own work along with teachers and business leaders.
Network upgrades As part of eMerge, major changes were implemented over the summer at Corinth Schools including the installation of a telephone in every classroom. “Teachers will now be able to communicate with every classroom, the office and the district office,” said Corinth Middle School Principal Nathan Hall. “This should cut out announcements over the intercom and people in the hallways.” The networks at each school have been upgraded, as well. Every classroom, hallway and outside area will have a wireless access point to ensure students, teachers and administrators always stay connected with their device. Bandwidth has also been increased at each school to meet the needs of all users. Grades 6-12 are allowed to take their MacBook off campus, while students in lower grades will not. Students in grades 3-5 will also receive a MacBook Air laptop, while students in pre-k and grades 1-2 will be assigned an iPad to be used at school only.
Learning edge “From a device, a student will have access to standards-aligned resources vital to achieving the mastery of Common Core State Standards,” said Hall. “It will be

ROSS a powerful tool that will enhance classroom instruction and learning.” Teachers and administrators will be able to diagnose each individual students learning progress and adjust lessons accordingly. “We will be able to tailor the learning experience of each student and adapt lessons to the need of that student,” he said. “This is empowering the students and encouraging them to take charge of their own learning.” The principal is excited about the incorporation of the learning management system, Canvas. “Canvas is used by all major higher learning institutions,” said Hall. “It’s a way to simplify teaching and learning by connecting all the tools teachers and students need in one place.” Canvas will be used at CHS as the web-based application where students and teachers can post lessons and work, ask questions and communicate when outside the classroom. Similar webbased systems will be used in the middle school and elementary school. The school district has partnered with Mango Language, which will give students the ability to learn a second language. The program is also available to anyone in the household, so family of CHS students can learn from the instruction as well.
Use policy “We ask that CHS students bring their MacBook to school every day fully charged,” said Hall. “A student’s MacBook is subject to inspection at any time.” A MacBook can’t be defaced in anyway, including the adding of skins or stickers or the hacking or “jail-breaking” of the device. Parents and students were advised they are liable for loss of their device. “Don’t leave your laptop in a car or unattended,” Hall said.
Every device is encrypted with a unique identifier and software so it can be tracked. The district can also send a signal to the device at any time to shut down use of the system. If the MacBook is lost, the student will pay full replacement cost. If stolen, the student must provide the district a police report and no further damage deductible will be required. A student may only have one device replaced within a four-year period. “We have a deductible stair step setup for any damage that is beyond the AppleCare warranty coverage,” added Hall. “The deductible range from $50 to $150, but we will not charge the student more than it takes to fix the computer” At the end of each school year, students are required to turn in their laptop. The laptop is cleaned and serviced if needed. When students return in the fall they are given the same laptop. “Each student is also given a backpack for the laptop. This is the only backpack any student can carry while at school,” Hall said. “The backpacks have lifetime warranties and are assigned to each student for four years.”
Tips for parents “Parents should monitor students at home,” said the principal. “All online activity is routed through the district’s firewall and content filter when the students access the Internet on or off campus.” Students will be blocked from sites that are deemed inappropriate or inconsistent with the district’s mission. Use of social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest will be restricted to Monday-Friday, 3 p.m., to 7 a.m., and all day on Saturday and Sunday.

May. “People are always asking me, ‘Why don’t you sit down and relax a while?’ I find it hard to do that when I know there are things to be done.” Voted as one of the most trusted federal agencies for the past 10 years running, the Postal Service continues to operate as efficiently as possible despite downsizing. “Corinth went from 10 clerks to 6 in a short period of time. There are many days when I feel that we don’t have enough people to do the job,” said Ross. While lack of manpower can be a daunting challenge to overcome, Ross maintains an attitude of gratitude toward her customers and employees. “I want them all to know that I appreciate the job they do,” she said. “They really care about serving the community.” “Meeting people who have moved here with no previous ties to Corinth has opened my eyes to how blessed and fortunate we are to live in the kind of community we live in. Sometimes you lose sight of your community and what’s in it, but once you look across the town you realize how alive it truly is,” added Ross. The 1974 graduate of Biggersville High School said she has never regretted the decision to join the Postal Service because it has been good to her and opened the door to opportunities she never dreamed possible. “I love the Postal Service. It has been a rewarding experience. Until you are part of it, you never realize how important it truly is and how much others depend upon you,” said Ross. “It is

Quality customer service is important to us because without it, we would have nothing.” As the post office prepares to enter a new fiscal year, Ross is busy making plans. “I am working very hard to improve the looks of the office and create an atmosphere we can all be proud of,” said the Postmaster. “The building of relationships is very important to me. I invite everyone to come and see firsthand what we do and how it all works. I love talking about the Postal Service.” In her spare time, she enjoys participating in church events at Shady Grove U.M.C. and working outside in her lawn and garden. “There’s just something about digging in the dirt and working with flowers that gives me a great sense of peace,” said Ross.

She is also the stepmother of Holly (Chris) Garner of Iuka and the step-grandmother of Brandon, Lee and Caleb.

Report shows state’s challenges Since the Civil War, Mississippi has lagged behind the rest of the country on most economic indicators and quality-of-life measurements. Sadly, despite undeniable progress, we’re still on the bottom of most rankings. It has been repeated over the years that like a foot race, Mississippi has to improve faster than the rest of the nation to catch up. Even as we move forward, so do the other states. The Annie E. Casey Foundation, a philanthropic organization devoted to the wellbeing of children, recently issued its annual “Kids Count” report. For the 24th time in the 25 years the foundation has issued the report, Mississippi was in last place. Last year the state was 49th, with New Mexico 50th. This year New Mexico is 49th. The report is based on four key areas: health, education, economic well-being, and family and community. Mississippi ranked 48th in the first two areas and 50th in the last two. “Although Mississippi saw no change in any of the four focus areas,” the report said, “the overall ranking fell due to improvements in other states.” Among the positive parts of a mostly negative report is that the teen birth rate in Mississippi has declined 43 percent in the past 25 years. But 49 percent of Mississippi children live in single-parent homes, according to the report. That’s troubling given the correlation between single parenthood and poverty. Mississippi is making progress in some vital areas involving children, but not enough. Many of Mississippi’s political leaders are more prone to bragging about what they say are accomplishments and criticizing Washington, D.C., than solving problems that perplex the state, which, admittedly, is no easy task. Gov. Phil Bryant is one example. He’s led the Republican effort in Mississippi to reject the expansion of Medicaid benefits to the working poor, which would improve health care for many adults and children, as well as help the economy. He recently made a video in which he said some in Washington have compared Mississippi to an old jalopy, but he intends to drive full throttle ahead to economic recovery. Bryant rightfully brags that Mississippi’s unemployment rate has declined to 7.9 percent compared to 10.6 percent when he took office in January 2012. But Mississippi’s unemployment rate is still the highest in the nation. Looking at where we are and hearing some Mississippi politicians talk, including lawmakers who brag about balancing the state budget without raising taxes, we’re reminded of the old rhetorical question: “If we’re so smart, why aren’t we rich?” The Greenwood Commonwealth
Time for McDaniel to move on It has now been five weeks since voters went to the polls and re-nominated Thad Cochran to a term in the U.S. Senate. Yet even though the Mississippi Republican Party has certified that Cochran defeated state Sen. Chris McDaniel by almost 7,700 votes in the June 24 runoff, McDaniel refuses to either concede or challenge the results in court. He should do one or the other. Joe Nosef, the chairman of the state Republican Party, summed up the situation rather neatly: “Since some have said they believe this election was stolen, every day that goes by without either a challenge or concession is bad for everyone involved, no matter which side of this primary someone happened to be on.” There is no deadline for McDaniel to challenge the results of the runoff. But state law does urge judges to decide any such challenges well in advance of the general election. McDaniel has already lost one case he filed seeking to require circuit clerks to give him, without charge, access to voting records that included voters’ birthdates. If he has another case to make, he should get to it. Otherwise, it’s time to move on. The Sun-Herald Biloxi
Prayer for today Father of mercy, I beseech thee to protect me in my endeavors as I try to live my ideals. May I not choose unnecessary burdens, and when I most need to be strong find that I have lived in that which has weakened my life.

A constitutional crisis for fun and profit Republicans and Democrats are consumed in a vicious debate over which party wants to talk about impeachment more. Democrats say it is lunatic Republicans who are scheming, as we speak, to impeach the president. Republicans say it is manipulative Democrats who are eager to play up the nonexistent chance of impeachment to motivate their voters in the midterm elections. It is certainly true that conservatives have talked about and advocated impeachment, most recently Sarah Palin in a call to arms. My colleague Andrew McCarthy wrote a serious book-length consideration of the topic, “Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama’s Impeachment.” But the Republican political leadership -- and for that matter, almost all Republicans in Congress -- has shown zero interest. In fact, it has long demonstrated a positive allergy to the topic, believing that it will be a politically damaging nonstarter. Nothing about this changed during the past few weeks, yet all of a sudden Democrats are acting as if it is February 1868 or Decem-
ber 1998 all over again, and the president is on the verge of losing an impeachRich ment vote in Lowry the House. This manNational u f actured Review panic can get Democrats only so far. The reality is that House Speaker John Boehner’s lawsuit, which they say is part of the nefarious impeachment plot, will, even if successful, have little practical effect beyond establishing the precedent of Congress suing the president. But Democrats hold the trump card in the tussle over impeachment. All reports are that President Barack Obama is considering a sweeping action on immigration so clearly unlawful that it will, at the very least, pressure Republicans to consider impeachment more seriously. Just imagine the Democratic fundraising emails then! Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer’s puppy-dog enthusiasm for invoking impeachment when discussing the president’s immigration plans suggest the White House is counting on a furi-
ous Republican reaction to its move. If this is truly the gambit, it is dime-store political nihilism. First and foremost, there will be the violence done to our system of government. A big unilateral amnesty that affects millions of people won’t be an exercise in so-called prosecutorial discretion. It isn’t declining to enforce the law in a specific instance because of limited funds and personnel. It is expending resources to implement an entirely new dispensation. There is some leeway for executive discretion, or deferred action, in immigration law, but everyone has always understood that it’s very limited. Not too long ago, President Obama eloquently explained why. “I just have to continue to say this notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true,” he told Latino journalists in response to a question about acting alone on the DREAM Act in 2011. “The fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce.” He went on to say, “We live in a democracy. You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it.”
Even President Obama got, or so it seemed, that he isn’t the legislator-in-chief, empowered to write and rewrite laws on his whim. Oh, for those halcyon days. Not too long after, he went ahead and did the unilateral enactment of a version of the DREAM Act immigration activists wanted. Now, he is reportedly on the cusp of doing something much bigger. The White House must know that the politics of his unilateral amnesty, especially if it prompts a push for impeachment, will be highly divisive. But the tea leaves say that the White House will welcome the division. It may well believe that its contemplated extralegal act is a win-win, delivering what it wants substantively (amnesty for millions) and politically (a debate on impeachment it assumes will be a loser for Republicans). In other words, the president will be stoking a constitutional crisis because it suits his purposes. If callow cynicism were a high crime, his impeachment and removal would be a foregone conclusion.

WWI, the not so great war NEWBURY, England — World War I began as most wars do with patriotic fervor and predictions of a quick end. It lasted four years. While the match igniting the “war to end all wars” was lit by the assassination of Austria’s Archduke Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, formal declarations of war occurred 100 years ago on July 28 (Austria declares war on Serbia) and Aug. 1 (Germany declares war on Russia, and Russia on Germany). Aug. 1, 1914 will be commemorated Sunday at a charity event to benefit current British war veterans at Highclere Castle, the site of the PBS series “Downton Abbey.” The observance will begin with a worship service led by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord George Carey, followed by period music, games, speeches, and other events one might find at an American state fair. It is a truism that wars are started by old men who send young men (and now women) to die. What was then called The Great War turned out to be “great,” but only in its carnage. The figures, though still in dispute,

are staggering even to this day. According to figures compiled by the U.S. JusCal tice DepartThomas ment, there were more Columnist than 37 million casualties, including dead, wounded and missing. Russia and Germany lost the most (1.7 million and 1.73 million respectively), followed by Austria-Hungary (1.2 million), France (1.35 million) and Britain (908,371). The U.S., because of its late entry into the conflict, suffered 116,516 dead, 204,002 wounded. Contributing to the slaughter was Germany’s use of modern weaponry, including machine guns. Other European nations employed weapons and tactics used in previous wars. Inept commanders, of whom there were many, were also to blame. Rain, mud and cold, which incapacitated men and machines, along with inferior and sometimes tardy medical care, contributed to the death toll.
Of all the wars, this one may have been the least predictable. As historian Max Hastings writes in “Catastrophe: Europe Goes to War in 1914”: “The war had not been precipitated by popular nationalistic fervor, but by the decisions of tiny groups of individuals in seven governments.” He quotes the Fabian Society’s Beatrice Webb, who was offended by what she called “the disgusting misuse of religion” to stimulate patriotism. Sound familiar? Hastings writes that this war might have offered lessons for the wars and conflicts that followed: “So extravagant was the sentimentality with which the war was promoted in its early months that in due time, as its human cost soared, a lasting revulsion emerged among some of the audience, who felt that they had been duped. The genuine merits of the allied cause became profoundly tarnished by the baroque language and spurious religiosity with which it was marketed, especially in the eyes of the generation that would do most of the dying that made victory belatedly

possible.” Max Hastings notes that world leaders in those days were no more ignorant, nor intelligent, than those in this century, but he calls them “deniers, who preferred to persist with supremely dangerous policies and strategies rather than accept the consequences of admitting the prospective implausibility, and retrospective failure, of these.” Was the war worth it? Yes, in one sense, because if Germany had won, it would have dictated peace terms threatening European freedom, freedom that would be threatened again just two decades after the Treaty of Versailles in a second world war. A satirical song that challenged the jingoism of the time was, “Oh! It’s a Lovely War.” As the lyrics convey, it was anything but lovely for the millions who fought in it and for those they left behind to mourn.

House GOP passes bill for border crisis WASHINGTON — House Republicans passed legislation late Friday to address the crisis on the U.S.Mexico border by sending migrant youths back home without hearings, winning over conservatives with a companion bill that could lead to deporting more than half a million immigrants whom the Obama administration granted temporary work permits. President Barack Obama condemned the Republican action and said he’d act unilaterally, as best he could. A day after GOP leaders pulled the border bill from the floor in a chaotic retreat, tea party lawmakers were enthusiastically on board with the new $694 million version and a companion measure that would shut off a program created by Obama granting work permits to immigrants brought here illegally as kids. The second bill also seemed designed to prevent the more than 700,000 people who’ve already gotten work permits under the program from renewing them, ultimately making them subject to deportation. The spending bill passed 223-189 late Friday, with only four Republicans voting “no” and one Democrat voting “yes.” The measure ending Obama’s deportation relief program passed 216-192, with
11 Republican “no” votes and four Democrats crossing party lines to vote in favor. “It’s dealing with the issue that the American people care about more than any other, and that is stopping the invasion of illegal foreign nationals into our country,” said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. “And we got to yes.”
Doctor with Ebola in U.S. for care ATLANTA — An American doctor infected with the Ebola virus in Africa arrived in Atlanta for treatment Saturday, landing in a specially equipped plane at a military base, then being whisked away to one of the most sophisticated hospital isolation units in the country, officials say. It marks the first time anyone infected with Ebola, considered one of the world’s deadliest diseases, is believed to have been brought into the country for treatment. A second American aid worker infected with the virus was expected to arrive at Emory within a couple days. U.S. officials are confident the patients can be treated without putting the public in danger. The private plane outfitted with a special, portable tent designed for transporting patients with highly infectious diseases arrived late morning at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, spokesman Lt. Col. James Wilson confirmed. U.S.-based Samaritan’s

UCLA pipe repair nears completion LOS ANGELES — Crews on Saturday finished major repairs on a nearly century-old water main that burst and poured 20 million gallons of water onto the UCLA campus, ruining the new court at famed Pauley Pavilion. Workers completed replacing the ruptured pipe junction on Sunset Boulevard, welded it and installed a pair of 36-inch butterfly valves that weigh two tons each, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power said in an update. The new section will be reinforced with concrete blocks and extra steel plating to protect the joint, the agency said. The section will now need to be tested and slowly brought back up to its regular water pressure. “Crews will carefully adjust valves in the area to return flow to the pipeline. This puts stress on pipes in the local water distribution system, which could potentially lead to leaks or pipe breaks,” the department warned in its statement. Crews also began pouring gravel into the hole and tamping it down as a start to repaving the huge gap caused when the pipe erupted in a geyser on Tuesday.

Ex-officer loses suit over Facebook firing GREENVILLE — A former Greenville police officer wants a federal appeals court to reinstate her wrongful firing lawsuit against city. Oral arguments are Sept 3 before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Former Sgt. Susan Graziosi argues officials violated her free speech rights by firing her over comments posted on a social networking site. She was fired in 2012 after posting criticism on Facebook about Police Chief Freddie Cannon’s decision not to send department representatives to the funeral for a Pearl police officer killed in the line of duty. According to the lawsuit, the posting to the mayor’s Facebook page read: “Dear Mayor, can we please get a leader that understands that a department sends officers (to) the funeral of an officer killed in the line of duty?”

Rare summer relief seen for gas prices
State appeals political spending law ruling BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press
JACKSON — The state of Mississippi is asking a federal appeals court to overturn a lower court ruling that part of its campaign finance law creates an unconstitutional burden for people or groups that spend at least $200 to support or oppose a ballot initiative. The case will be argued Sept. 3 before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Opponents to the law argue the $200 threshold is so low that it would be impossible for a group of people to run a quarter-page ad in their local newspaper without having to become a political committee. The law was challenged in 2011 by a group of Oxford residents backing an initiative that ultimately was approved by voters that year, limiting the government’s use of eminent domain to take private land. They were represented by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian group based in Virginia. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ruled in September
2013 that the state may require some level of campaign finance reporting by people or groups that attempt to influence elections. However, Aycock said that “the burdens imposed by the state’s regulations are simply too great to be borne by the state’s interest in groups raising or expending as little as $200.” Under Mississippi law, groups seeking to support or oppose statewide balloted measures must register as a political committee if they receive contributions of more than $200 during a calendar year or spent more than $200 in a calendar year. The law also requires the campaign finance reports to include the name and address of anyone who donated more than $200 to the group opposing or supporting a ballot issue. In briefs filed with the 5th Circuit, Attorney General Jim Hood said Mississippi’s disclosure requirements are “substantially related to the sufficiently important government interest” of educat-

ing voters about those who seek to influence their vote. Hood argues states with more stringent disclosure requirements than Mississippi have seen their laws upheld in other courts. He said the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that some disclosure requirements are constitutional despite the fact that they do impose some burden on groups and individuals. Hood said this is especially true when the government wants citizens to know about the sources of election-related spending. Paul Avelar, an Institute for Justice attorney representing the Oxford residents, said in a reply brief that under Mississippi law, grassroots citizen groups and individuals who wish to fund independent political speech promoting or opposing ballot measures are subject to extensive and confusing regulations as “political committees” that chill their speech. He said the Oxford residents had to curtail their activities — including buying posters and flyers — to avoid the $200 threshold.

NEW YORK — The gasoline price roller coaster is running a strange course this summer. August began with the lowest average gasoline price for this time of year since 2010. Just a few weeks ago, drivers were paying the highest gasoline July Fourth gasoline price in six years. The average price of a gallon of gasoline is $3.52 after falling 16 cents over the last month. Prices may continue to slide in early August and post larger drops after Labor Day — as long as there are no hurricanes that halt production in the Gulf Coast or violence in the Middle East that disrupts crude supplies. “We’ll see some more drops, and clearly we’ll be below $3.50 by Monday,” says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service and GasBuddy.com. “It’s absolutely counter-intuitive.” Gasoline prices usually drop between Memorial Day and July

Fourth after refiners have begun making more-expensive summer blends of gasoline. They then tend to rise between July Fourth and Labor Day as vacation drivers burn through supplies and traders worry about hurricanes. This year, gasoline prices rose after Memorial Day because turmoil in Iraq, OPEC’s secondbiggest exporter, sent global crude prices rising. Oil rose to $107 per barrel on June 20 and gasoline reached $3.68 a gallon in late June. Since then, fears that Iraqi oil exports would be blocked have subsided. Global supplies appear to be ample, offsetting any potential impact from U.S. and European sanctions against Russia, the world’s biggest exporter outside of OPEC. And ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas doesn’t threaten oil production. Crude oil fell Friday for the fifth day in a row, to $97.88 per barrel, its lowest price since early February.

Couple mixes marriage, music as band directors BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@ dailycorinthian.com
A former band director at Alcorn Central High School is now part of husband and wife leadership team at another awardwinning high school in Northeast Mississippi. Josh and Jada Forsythe are looking to hit all the right notes this fall as they take the helm of the Booneville Blue Devil Band at Booneville High School. A native of Selmer, Tenn., Josh has served as band director at Alcorn Central High School and most recently South Pontotoc High School. Jada is a Booneville High School graduate and a former member of the Blue Devil Band and both new directors are excited about following in the footsteps of legendary directors John and Lora Emerson who retired at the end of the last school year after establishing the program as one of the best in the state. “John and Lora created such a great atmosphere and tradition of excellence and it shows in the students,” said Jada. Jada is a Booneville na-

New Booneville High School band directors Josh and Jada Forsythe are getting ready for an exciting first year at the helm of the beloved Booneville Blue Devil Band. tive, the daughter of Tony and Beth Presley. They met at Northeast Mississippi Community College where they were both members of the Showband from Tigerland. Jada recalls band director Ricky Bishop directing the musicians on their
first day to look to their left and their right and then telling them many of them would marry someone in that room. “And we did,” she said with a laugh. The couple worked together as band directors at Olive Branch
High School for several years. Five years ago they moved back to Booneville when Jada took a position as a music instructor and assistant director with the Northeast Mississippi Community College band. He said it’s a blessing to be able to get off the road
and work together in the place they call home with their young son, Elijah. He said they’ve been looking for an opportunity to lead a program together again because he believes their approaches complement each other. He said it’s a special thing to work with someone you trust completely. “If you work with your spouse you can rely on that person and that person knows what you’re trying to do,” he said. Both said music has been in their blood from an early age and they always wanted to make it a career. Jada said for her music is the rhythm of life, it’s always around and helps express the inexpressible. “I can just express myself and my feelings that way and be creative,” she said. “Music is the expression that words can’t express,” said Josh. They’ve been greeted with open arms by the community and the school system, said Josh. He said everyone involved with the school and the band has encouraged them and welcomed them. “It’s been amazing,” he
said. They met the students for the first time recently when the band took part in the filming of a country music video at Tiger Stadium and said they were extremely impressed with how organized and prepared the young musicians were. “They all just knew exactly what to do,” said Jada. The couple spent time at the end of the previous school year with the Emersons to learn more about the band and what the students expect and they know they can count on their support. Josh said they’ve worked with the same group of professionals the Emersons have used in the past to design this year’s show and they don’t have plans for big changes but instead intend to continue to focus on the things that have made the band a success. They hope the community and students will continue to support them and the band and they intend to build on the legacy of accomplishment and continue to make the Blue Devil Band something everyone can be proud of.
Slain World War II soldier’s son to get lost medal, answers BY DON BABWIN Associated Press
CHICAGO — John Trinca couldn’t remember the name of the soldier who died right next to him minutes after they met during World War II, and all Thomas Bateman Jr. knew of his father’s death was that it happened in 1945 in the Philippines. The two will meet for the first time Sunday thanks largely to Tom McAvoy, who made good on a quest to return a lost war medal he found as a child in Chicago that only had the recipient’s engraved name as a clue: Thomas Bateman. This year — 69 years after a bullet from a Japanese machine gun killed Pvt. Thomas Bateman — their stories intersected for the first time, giving them answers to questions that tugged at them for years. At this weekend’s ceremony, the slain soldier’s son will receive the lost Purple Heart his father paid for with his life.
“I had a newspaper article that my grandmother kept that said he was killed and that’s about all I knew,” said Bateman, 69, who was just shy of his first birthday when his father was killed. The men learned of one another thanks to Purple Hearts Reunited, a foundation that works to return the medals to their recipients or their recipients’ families. Zachariah Fike, a Vermont National Guard captain who was awarded the medal after he was wounded in Afghanistan in 2010, has managed to reunite about 100 Purple Hearts with their rightful owners since starting the foundation. There’s a story behind each of the medals that have been returned, but none quite like this latest one.
“To find the guy who found the medal, the guy with (Bateman) when he died and the son,” said Fike, who will present the medal to Bateman on Sunday. “This one sends chills.” What is known about this medal begins in the 1950s when McAvoy spotted it on the basement floor of his family’s Chicago apartment building while helping a janitor sort garbage. He gave it to his mother and forgot about it. Then, about seven years ago, one of his brothers mentioned that he found a Purple Heart while going through their mother’s belongings after her death. “My brothers and I, we said, ‘We have to find out who this person is and give it to the family,’” said McAvoy, 74.
who had recently told a newspaper about how he finally learned the name of the soldier he saw killed more than 60 years earlier and had bought a memorial brick with the soldier’s name on it to honor him. Trinca was 19 years old on June 3, 1945, when a new guy joined his unit. The two talked long enough to realize they had both lived in Chicago. The soldier had told him his name but, “You know, you’re going into combat and it went in one ear and out the other,” said Trinca, now 88. “I figured that night we’d talk some more.” -PLEASE ID THE UNIT. About 15 minutes later while on patrol in Mindanao, an island in the Philippines, Trinca heard gunfire and saw banana leaves being suddenly
shredded by bullets. “I turned my head and heard this sound of him being hit,” said Trinca. “His helmet was over his eyes and he was dead. He died on my shoulder.” Maybe it was combat stress or the death two days later of a good buddy, but Trinca said he was unable to recall the soldier’s name when he tried and that he didn’t think to try finding someone who did know it. This bothered Trinca as he got older, so he started asking around. A few years ago, he mentioned it to a guy in his division who was compiling its history, and he got back to Trinca before long with a name: Thomas Bateman. Trinca said he was excited to meet the son of the man he saw die and to tell him whatever he can about that day and time.
Fact: Not all deaths are from the senior population. Over 19% of U.S. of mortality is under the age of 59-which is the working population.

After some calls to VFW halls and other efforts came up empty, someone put him in touch with a woman involved with veterans’ issues. That led to a call from a local state senator’s office, telling him about Fike. McAvoy mailed the medal to Fike, who quickly recognized by the way it was engraved that Bateman had been killed in action. He soon reached out to Bateman Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee, and the slain soldier’s son helped solve the mystery about how the medal ended up in the Chicago apartment building: His father’s mother once lived there. It remains a mystery, though, how it ended up in the garbage and whether Bateman’s mother still lived there at the time. Fike’s search also led him to Trinca, a retiree

AUG. 11 (8/11) SERVES AS CONVENIENT REMINDER FOR CORINTH AREA RESIDENTS TO ALWAYS CALL 811 BEFORE DIGGING City of Corinth Gas & Water Department encourages people to make a free call 2 GD\V EHIRUH GLJJLQJ WR NQRZ ZKDWœV EHORZ. With Aug. 11 almost here, Corinth Gas & Water Department hopes this date on the calendar, 8/11, will serve as a natural reminder for residents to call 811 prior to any digging project to have underground utility lines marked. Every eight minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811. When calling 811, homeowners and contractors are connected to Corinth Gas & Water, the local one-call center, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators are then sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags, spray paint or both. Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs, fines and inconvenient outages. Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811. Installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and laying a patio are all examples of digging projects that need a call to 811 before starting. ³2Q $XJ. 11 and throughout the year, we remind homeowners and professional contractors alike to call 811 before digging to eliminate the risk of striking an underground utility OLQH ´ VDLG John Rhodes, Manager of Corinth Gas & Water Department. ³It really is the only way WR NQRZ ZKLFK XWLOLWLHV DUH EXULHG LQ \RXU DUHD ´ The depth of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists. Visit www.call811.com or www.corinthgasandwater.com for more information about 811 and safe digging practices.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian family of quality magazines continues with Crossroads Magazine Homes on Aug. 30.
Daughter is hurt by drunken mom’s loose-lipped remark D E A R ABBY: My husband, “Pete,” and I are at a point in our lives where we’re ready to start Abigail a family. have Van Buren a We l r e a d y started tryDear Abby ing. We both have college degrees, jobs and own our home. I have talked with my OB and have started making myself “baby-ready.” Friends and most of our family are happy we’re trying to start a family. The problem is my parents seem less than enthused. One night last week, my mother, dad, Pete and I were enjoying some local entertainment and drinks together. Mom got a tad sloshed and told me she wishes my older brother and his wife had a child first, “no offense to me.” They have been trying for years and have gone to fertility clinics, but due to the cost, decided to stop trying until my sister-in-law earns her degree. I have talked to her about our plans, and she was happy for us. Abby, I can’t stop thinking about what my mom said. I fear
bringing it up with her because she may not remember she said anything. Is it wrong for me to hold onto this? Pete and I are financially and emotionally ready for a happy addition to our family. I know he’ll be a great dad. I wish my mother would realize this, too. -- “NO OFFENSE” IN OHIO DEAR “NO OFFENSE”: You are an adult and a married woman. You should not need anyone’s “enthusiasm” beyond yours and your husband’s to bring a child into this world. You stated that your mother was “sloshed” when she made the remark. Alcohol-addled individuals often make inappropriate comments. Who knows what she meant when she said it? It may be she was thinking about the pain your brother and sister-in-law are experiencing because of their infertility issue. Because her comment was hurtful, I think you should let her know so she can clarify -- if she even remembers saying it. And if she doesn’t, suggest she cut back on her drinking because memory lapses can be a symptom of a drinking problem. DEAR ABBY: My friend “Mer-
le’s” daughter got engaged, and Merle threw an engagement party for her and the husbandto-be. The couple announced where they were registered in the Facebook invitation (which I thought was truly insensitive). People arrived for the engagement party with gifts. I did not take one. I figured I’d wait until the wedding, which is a year away. I also thought, “What if they change their minds and don’t get married?” Was I wrong not to take a gift? I guess I just don’t understand the current etiquette. -STUMPED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR STUMPED: You accepted the invitation, didn’t you? Because you did, you should have given the couple a gift. You did not have to take one to the party, but you should send something within a short time. (Suggestion: A nice picture frame to hold their engagement photo.) 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). You’ve an almost shamanistic charisma now, so don’t be surprised if you gain followers, the likes of which want to trust you with their life stories and implore your advice, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your feedback and attention is a gift. Those who get a lot of it will feel rich, even if it’s not all complimentary. Most people want to learn and grow, and you’ll help them out by reflecting back their actions in a nurturing and positive way. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your kindness will be most profoundly felt -- not in the moments when you mean to be or are supposed to be kind, but in the moments when you don’t have to be kind at all and yet you are. CANCER (June 22-July 22). “I want to, but I shouldn’t” is the theme of the day. The question is: Are your “shouldn’ts” based on a morality that feels authentic to you, or a reality that feels
imposed? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). New beginnings and early endings is the theme. Being willing to break away before the official “ending” will keep things from getting dull. A Sagittarius will be your ally in keeping things moving along. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). One way to be charming is to make sure that what you say is unexpected, yet completely relatable. It’s not an easy note to hit, but you’ll manage it time and again. Your great face doesn’t hurt matters. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The day will bring a variety of settings, moods and characters. If you remain open to the possibilities, you’ll mix it up and have a blast with the changes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There isn’t one way through the labyrinth, so that should take some of the pressure off of the decisions of the day. Go exploring. Give yourself the leeway to
experiment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know what needs to be done; you just don’t know how. The “how” isn’t for you to worry about. This is the day to start telling people and follow up on the leads that come thereafter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What seems like an insignificant tangent may indeed be the most important point of the day. So don’t discount the wisdom of a good long ramble. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What starts as a source of entertainment may end up taking you on a highly emotional ride. Maybe even changing you forever. Be careful what you dabble in now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s almost as if today’s situation is a puzzle piece. You will tune into the shape of it and try to fit it where it most gracefully goes. You don’t want to jam or force anything that doesn’t organically fit.

Missouri adds top recruit in Gill-Caesar The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — New Missouri coach Kim Anderson has added a consensus top 50 recruit with 6-foot-6 small forward Montaque “Teki” GillCaesar of Vaughan, Ontario. Gill-Caesar, who signed a financial aid agreement, was the 2014 Gatorade Player of the Year in West Virginia. He will be eligible next season. He averaged 16.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, two assists and 1.7 steals last season at Huntington Prep. Missouri earlier signed his prep school coach Rob Fulford as an assistant. Gill-Caesar was rated the No. 31 prospect in the class of 2015 by Rivals. com and rated the top player in Canada by ESPN.com.

Football practice kicks off Monday BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The wait is almost over. Area high schools will be among those taking the field Monday as football practice for the members of the Mississippi High School Activities Association officially begins. Regular-season play begins on Friday, Aug. 22. Playoff action for Classes 2A-4A opens on Nov. 7, while Classes 1A and 5A-6A being the following week. Teams may participate in Jamboree-type contests on Aug. 15-16. Kossuth will face off with New Albany that night at 6 at the Oxford/Ole Miss Fall Jamboree. Corinth, making its third consecutive appearance in
the event, will play Water Valley at 6 the following night. Alcorn County’s four head coaches remain the same for the third consecutive season. Other highlights and low lights as preparation for the 2014 high school season gets under way. • At Alcorn Central, Jeff Boren begins his third season. The Golden Bears have posted consecutive 2-9 campaigns and will enter play at Booneville on Oct. 3 with a 30-game Division 1-3A losing streak. Central is seeking its first playoff berth and winning season since an 11-1 campaign in 1989. The Bears last nonlosing season came via a 5-5 mark in 1990. The Bears open the regularseason on Aug. 22 at home
against Biggersville. Central has won three straight and four of five in the annual contest. • At Biggersville, Ronnie Lawson remains the veteran on the local sideline as the BHS alum enters his 12th season. The season-opener will see Lawson slide past the late John Nelson (1973-83) as the Lions’ longest tenured coach. The Lions finished 2-9, 1-7 last season, but did defeat perennial contender Vardaman for just the second time in the program’s history. Coffeeville, Coldwater, Falkner, Hamilton, Houlka, Smithville and Thrasher join BHS and the Sweet Potato Capitol in the nine-team Division 1-1A setup. Biggersville lists 30 players
on its most recent roster. The Lions posted their first winning season since 1992 with a 6-5 mark in 2010. BHS is still seeking its first playoff berth since 1997. • At Corinth, Doug Jones begins his third season on the sidelines -- and first as a head coach on artificial turf. CHS will be looking to extend its playoff streak to 15 straight and get the bad taste out of their mouths. Corinth claimed its first Division 1-4A title and finished the regular season at 10-1 before a heartbreaking 1510 loss to No. 4 seed Byhalia in the opening round of the playoffs.

Brees sits out Saints scrimmage WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Saints coach Sean Payton says Drew Brees was held out of Saturday’s intra-squad scrimmage to rest a sore muscle on the left side of his abdomen. The absence of New Orleans’ star quarterback didn’t stop rookie receiver Brandin Cooks from setting himself apart in the first scrimmage of training camp. Cooks racked up more than 100 yards receiving on just a handful of receptions, highlighted by a twisting, falling catch of a deep pass from second-year reserve quarterback Ryan Griffin. Later, Griffin found Cooks along the sideline, and the Saints’ top draft pick stopped suddenly to elude a defender before sprinting about 30 yards to the end zone. Also scoring touchdowns were tight end Jimmy Graham, and running backs Mark Ingram, Travaris Cadet and rookie Derrick Strozier.

Mississippi St. working to expand offense BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer
STARKVILLE— Mississippi State is expecting quarterback Dak Prescott to have an all-Southeastern Conference caliber season in his first full year as the starter. Judging from his performance last year, that’s certainly possible. But he’s going to need some help. That’s where guys like Josh Robinson, Jameon Lewis and Jamaal Clayborn become very important. Robinson moves into the starting running back
role after backing up LaDarius Perkins last season while Lewis returns after leading the team with 64 catches for 923 yards. Clayborn is one of two new starting offensive linemen. The 6-foot-4, 315-pound sophomore is a prime example of coach Dan Mullen’s ability to take lightly recruited players and turn them into quick contributors. Prescott said the Bulldogs take pride in their low-profile identity. “That’s just who we are,
we’re a blue-collar team that works hard and doesn’t really care about the labels we’re given,” Prescott said Saturday at the team’s media day. “We’re not a bunch of fivestar guys. We’re just hard workers who are going to get better and make sure others get better.” Prescott’s huge role on the team is hard to overstate. He threw for 1,940 yards and 10 touchdowns last season while also running for a team-high 829 yards and 13 touchdowns. If he’s not healthy, the
Bulldogs’ offense suddenly looks a lot different. That’s why Clayborn is so vital. He’s listed as the new starter at left guard, replacing Gabe Jackson, who was taken in the third round by the Oakland Raiders in the NFL draft. Mississippi State co-offensive coordinator John Hevesy said players like Clayborn, who was a two-star recruit, and starting right guard Ben Beckwith, who is a former walk-on, have the right atPlease see OFFENSE | 11A
Doctors say George faces long rehab process The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Doctors say Paul George’s biggest battle is yet to come, and it may take a year or more before he returns to the Pacers lineup. One day after the two-time All-Star suffered a gruesome open tibia-fibula fracture on his right leg during a USA Basketball intrasquad scrimmage in Las Vegas, the questions began in earnest about
George’s recovery -- and whether he’d ever regain the form a that made him one of NBA’s most complete players. The 24-year-old George and said he was resting comfortably Saturday morning following surgery. Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird later issued a statement saying hopes George will return to Indianapolis next week before the
long rehab process begins. “The thing about breaking a bone is that if you get it back in the appropriate position, it can be as good as new,” said Dr. James Gladstone, the co-chief of sports medicine at Icahn School at Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. “If the muscle is not involved and the bone and muscle are fully healed, then I think he will get back (to his previous
form).” Gladstone, who is not treating George, said it usually takes athletes nine to 12 months to completely recover from this type of injury. If that time table holds up, the earliest possible return for George would be May when the NBA playoffs are in full swing. If George misses the entire Please see GEORGE | 11A
Longtime Braves broadcaster ‘The Professor’ Van Wieren dies The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Pete Van Wieren, the bespectacled broadcaster who was part of the landmark team that carried Atlanta Braves games throughout the nation on Ted Turner’s “SuperStation,” died Saturday after a battle with cancer, the team said. He was 69. Affectionately known as “The Professor” for his encyclopedic knowledge of the game and long hours of re-
search before each broadcast, Van Wieren spent 33 years with the Braves before retiring in 2008, shortly after the death of his longtime partner Skip Caray. “The Atlanta Braves are deeply saddened by the passing of Pete Van Wieren,” the team said in a statement. “He was such a large and important part of our organization. We and all of our fans across Braves country fondly remember his soothing voice
calling our games for 33 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Elaine, his children and his grandchildren.” A native of Rochester, New York, Van Wieren had been calling games for the TripleA Tidewater Tides when the Braves hired him before the 1976 season to join a new three-man broadcast team with Caray and Ernie Johnson. The trio would soon become known to baseball fans
around the nation thanks to Turner, the team’s brash owner, who began beaming games via satellite on a onceobscure Atlanta television station. While the team didn’t have much success through the 1970s and ‘80s, Johnson, Caray and Van Wieren were the faces and voices of the game in areas that didn’t have their own local broadcasts.

again face off with Amory, Itawamba AHS, Pontotoc, Shannon and Tishomingo County in league play. The Warriors, who list 59 players on their most recent roster, will open the campaign and unveil the new playing surface on Aug. 22 against Kossuth. CHS is 18-5 in two seasons under Jones, with three of those losses (including both last season) on the natural grass of Warrior Stadium II. • At Kossuth, Brian Kelly opens his fourth season at his alma mater and looks to get the Aggies into the playoffs for a fifth straight time. Kossuth finished 4-7
overall and third in 1-3A play with a 3-2 mark. The Aggies lost at Water Valley in the first round of the playoffs. KHS, which lists 45 players on its most recent roster, lost three of its seven games by a combined 14 points and lost just 14-0 at Booneville in a game that determined the No. 2 seed in the division. Alcorn Central, Belmont, Booneville, Mooreville and North Pontotoc will join Kossuth in the six-team division setup. The Aggies have filled the open date that fell the week before league play began and will host Cherokee, Ala., for Homecoming on Sept. 26.
VAN WIEREN CONTINUED FROM 10A
With his thick glasses and thinning hair, Van Wieren didn’t fit the classic television mold. But his smooth voice and ability to come up with obscure statistics in the pre-Internet era paired especially well with Caray, who was known for his biting sarcasm and irreverent retorts. They were inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame in 2004, joining their good friend Johnson. He died in 2011. Chipper Jones, who spent nearly two decades as the Braves third baseman, became a fan of the team while growing up in Florida, largely because of Van Wieren and those TBS broadcasts. “Grew up watchin him every night,” said Jones, who retired after
the 2012 season. “We will miss you buddy!” Dale Murphy, who starred for the Braves during the height of the team’s popularity on the SuperStation, tweeted that Van Wieren was a “true professional, great friend and pillar of the Braves family.” Van Wieren’s talents went beyond baseball. He also called NBA games on TBS and TNT, in addition to stints with the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, NHL’s Atlanta Flames and Big Ten Conference football. In 2010, he released a memoir of his long career, “Of Mikes and Men: A Lifetime of Braves Baseball.” Van Wieren was initially diagnosed with lymphoma in early 2010. He was treated for the disease, but it returned before the year was out.

season, he would have almost 15 months before opening day 2015 — a timeline that coincides with Dr. Patrick Kersey’s prognosis. Kersey, a physician at St. Vincent Sports Performance in Indianapolis, is the medical director of USA Football and treated Louisville guard Kevin Ware when he suffered a similarly horrific injury during the 2013 NCAA tournament regional finals. Although Kersey is not George’s physician, either, he said it will likely take six to 12 weeks for the bone to fully heal and another six to 10 weeks for George to start walking normally. If all goes well, Kersey said George could be back in six to 12 months, though he warned it may
take George as long as 18 months to start playing like his old self. The biggest obstacle for George may be his own patience. “It’s a challenge because (athletes) want to push the envelope always,” Kersey said. “First, he has to get back to a normal life and then the body needs to work in an efficient way. Once those pieces are in place you can kind of start training and then return to basketball.” Bird gave no time table Saturday. “It is way too early to speculate on his return as the No. 1 priority for everyone will be his recovery,” Bird said. “Our initial discussions with our doctors and the doctors in Las Vegas have us very optimistic.” George has plenty of fans wishing him well.
Teammates, reigning MVP Kevin Durant and LeBron James all used their Twitter accounts to offer support, and at the Indianapolis Colts training camp in nearby Anderson, coach Chuck Pagano and punter Pat McAfee joined the chorus. “This is a devastating injury to a great, great player and we want Paul to know that we’re all family in this city and our thoughts and prayers go out to him. We’ve got his back,” said Pagano, who missed 13 games two years ago after being diagnosed with cancer. McAfee, a big Pacers fan, added: “He’s a good guy off the court and a baller on the court, and I can’t wait to see him back on it and win the Comeback Player of the Year Award.”
his efficiency. “I only know one speed and that’s fast,” Robinson said. “It doesn’t change anything. I’ve got to be who I am every day and find ways to get better.” Mississippi State also has senior running back Nick Griffin, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career but could help Robinson carry the load. Ashton Shumpert and Brandon Holloway are also listed as possibilities on the depth chart. “Every year it’s a committee for us,” Mullen said. “Josh had a lot of yards rushing last year. Usually one guy steps out a little bit ahead of everybody else.” The Bulldogs return plenty of experience at receiver. Mullen hopes that will help the offense develop a consistent deep passing threat
that’s sometimes been lacking in previous seasons. Lewis was the most productive last season, but it’s 6-foot-5 sophomore De’Runnya Wilson who might be the most intriguing prospect. He caught 26 passes for 351 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman in only his second season of organized football. Wilson was an accomplished basketball player in high school and even played some for the Bulldogs last winter. Now he’s decided to just concentrate on football and his athletic ability on long passing plays could prove vital. “The key is when you have those opportunities, you take advantage of it,” Mullen said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to do that. We have different guys who bring different things to the table.”
OFFENSE CONTINUED FROM 10A
titude even if they lacked the perfect measurable coming out of high school. “Everyone loves Saturday afternoon in the SEC because there’s not a person who wouldn’t,” Hevesy said. “But how many love Feb. 23rd at 5 a.m. (in the weight room)? That’s when you find out the guys that want to be great.” Prescott says he expects to have plenty of protection and playmakers around him to get the job done. Robinson moves into a starting role after rushing for 459 yards and three touchdowns while averaging nearly six yards per carry last season. The barrel-chested 5-foot-9, 215-pounder says he bench presses about 380 pounds and is adamant an increased workload won’t decrease

The Hole Dozen owner Tess Rouse cuts out a batch of donuts.
The Hole Dozen offers a wide range of donuts and other breakfast items.
Sunday, August 3, 2014
Four-year-old Cole Rouse is the boss when his mom, Tess, isn’t around.
At The Hole Dozen, ‘we’re all like family’ BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Crossroads area residents have gotten their sweet tooth fix at a little donut shop on Shiloh Road for more than 40 years. Two years ago, the name of the shop changed, but the taste of the deep-fried goodness didn’t. Current owner Tess Rouse and her family serve up the original Harlow’s donut at her shop, The Hole Dozen. “We love making donuts,” said Rouse. “Almost as much as most people love eating donuts.” The 1989 Corinth High School graduate acquired Harlow’s Donuts in December 2012 and one month later opened the popular morning stop under the new name. “I did a ton of research and discovered the Harlow’s name was actually trademarked,” said Rouse. “Harlow’s Bakery in Memphis was a supplier of baked goods for stores many years ago. Apparently the original owners decided to stick with the name for this store. I didn’t want to change the name, but didn’t want to be open to any infringement problems in the future.” Lucky for donut lovers, the name was the only change. According to Rouse, every time customers bite into a donut from The Hole Dozen, they are reminded of a Harlow’s donut. There are other reminders around the store, like the old dough boy now hanging from the ceiling inside the shop. Many people remember the 8-foot wooden cutout attached to the front of the building next to the original Harlow’s sign. “We have been able to carry on the traditions of Harlow’s and we’re very proud of it. We also kept the Harlow’s Coca-Cola sign by the road to remind everyone we still want to carry on the tradition,” added Rouse. The shop is a great place for families and a
daily stop for kids before school. It will become grand central station on Thursday morning when Rouse and the crew are set to hold their 2nd Annual Back to School Bash. “We’ll start at 5 a.m., with specials, balloon release, a DJ, a T-shirt toss and more,” she said. “All the seniors will be stopping for a donut and our parking lot will be the perfect viewing area for the senior parade.” Rouse said business always picks up when school is in session. “Our business is pretty much seasonal. It is very strong in the fall, winter and spring mainly because of school. I try to watch trends each year to determine when donut sales drop off,” said the owner. “This year we decided to cut back our morning hours during the summer, reopen in the afternoon and offer shaved ice. It’s been a hit.” Fundraising is also big business. The shop prepared 425 dozen orders of donuts for a Chalybeate School fundraiser last fall. “We also provide donuts the hospital sells in their cafeteria,” Rouse added. Family is as important as how good her donuts taste, she said. “We are very proud to be a family owned and operated business. We have been since day one. We all depend on each other and have each other’s back.” Rouse’s mother Gayle Gurley and first couisn Brandon Gurley run the front counter and drivethrough window on most mornings. Rouse’s father Jerry Gurley mans the shop on the weekends. Cole is the 4-year-old who is often seen running around the shop keeping his employees in line. Rouse, Cole’s mom, normally bounces back and fourth between the kitchen and the dining room making sure customers stay happy. According to Rouse, the other employees are also like family.

Corinth native Kathleen Ashmore and her son, Case, pickup a dozen donut holes from Brandon Gurley at The Hole Dozen. “I think that’s why everyone loves working here,” she said. “We’re all family.” To The Hole Dozen crew, keeping their customers full of donuts and
other yummy breakfast items is a priority. “We have die hard customers who have been stopping here every morning for the last 30 or 40 years,” said Rouse.
“We know exactly what they are going to order and we have it ready for them before they walk in the door.” As long as the customers keep coming back,
The Hole Dozen will keep the fryer grease hot. “I really am content cooking donuts for the rest of my life,” said Rouse. “That’s just how much I love it.”
Sunflowers aid healing in storm-ravaged Louisville BY BILLY WATKINS The Clarion-Ledger
LOUISVILLE — They have popped up all over Louisville. Sunflowers. Tall, yellow rays of hope in a place that can use all it can get nearly three months after an EF4 tornado killed 10 people in Winston County and destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes. Some stand amid twisted metal and tree roots the size of a car. Others seem to keep watch over vacant lots where homes once stood and hardworking parents used to tuck their children into bed. “You drive down a street and see the destruction and the steady cleanup going on, which
can be depressing. And then you spot those sunflowers,” says Leigh Ann Hailey. “It’s completely overwhelming.” Hailey knows the backstory of those sunflowers. One of her secondgrade students, 8-yearold Tyler Tucker, was killed in the tornado. He, along with his parents — Sean Fowler, 44, and Terri Tucker, 34 — were blown hundreds of yards from the family’s mobile home. Tyler was still wearing his school uniform when a search team found his body. His death rocked staff and students to the core, less than a month before the end of the school year. Tyler was one of the most popular kids on campus.
Teachers called him a “do-gooder.” For example, he held the door open every morning for teachers entering the school through a side entrance. “He was a unique child who always wanted to do things for others,” Hailey says. A couple of weeks after Tyler’s death, his grandmother went to Fair Elementary and met with counselor Betty Cotton. “She wanted to do something in honor of Tyler, but she wasn’t sure what — and she wanted no publicity, no credit for it,” Hailey says, explaining why she won’t even mention her name. “She was still trying to process losing her grandson ... I can’t even imagine trying
to wrap my arms around that if I was in her shoes. But she was adamant that she wanted to do something that would’ve made Tyler happy.” Tyler was a member of the talented and gifted program, so she purchased new building blocks — geometric shapes the TAG students use to study and create different designs. He also loved music and the school’s Melody Makers group. Budgets for the fine arts in public schools are always slim. Tyler’s grandmother bought new hand instruments for the program. And to each of 650 students at Fair Elementary, which runs pre-K through second grade, she gave a
card with Tyler’s picture on it, a few facts about sunflowers and some sunflower seeds. The students were asked to plant them around town. Apparently, they did their homework. “She is certain that Tyler would really like this,” Hailey says. “Sunflowers were his favorite flower. “Our school secretary, Jill Pearson, has taken some photos of the sunflowers around town, and it’s chilling to see them. You see those sunflowers, and you basically see Tyler smiling at you.” Tyler’s desk remains in the same spot he left when school was dismissed early because of the weather April 28. It soon will be removed from the class-
room. Hailey says the grandmother could wind up with it. “But you can bet, one way or the other, we will do something special with it.” There has been preliminary talk of developing a garden on the playground with a small plaque devoted to Tyler. “Nothing has been decided yet, though,” Hailey says. A new school year is set to begin Tuesday. “It seems like yesterday that we were standing out by the buses in May, watching the students climb aboard on the final day, and I was like, ‘We made it,’” Hailey said.

Engagement
Anniversary Lansdale 50th Anniversary
Hannah Nicole Trammel, Grady Madison Kuykendall
Trammel—Kuykendall Mickey and Lianne Trammel of Corinth announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Hannah Nicole Trammel, to Grady Madison Kuykendall, son of Mike and Tricia Kuykendall of Corinth. Miss Trammel is the granddaughter of Mary Trammel and the late Jack Trammel of Corinth, and Stanley and Evelyn Stricklin of Jackson, Miss. Mr. Kuykendall is the grandson of Grady and Betty Kuykendall of Rienzi, and Frances Vandiver and the late Leon Vandiver of Corinth. The bride-elect is a
2010 graduate of Corinth High School. She is a 2014 graduate of Mississippi University for Women, where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. The prospective groom is a 2011 graduate of Kossuth High School. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in exercise science at the University of Mississippi. The couple will exchange vows at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014, at Tate Baptist Church in Corinth. All are invited to attend the ceremony and reception which will follow.
The family of Dalton and Julianne Lansdale will honor them on their 50th wedding anniversary Sunday, Aug. 17 at 2 p.m. at the Coliseum Civic Center in historic downtown Corinth, 404 Taylor Street, Corinth. All friends and family are invited to attend the celebration hosted by their sons, Jon Lansdale and Jeff Lansdale.
Wedding attendants have special roles Being chosen as a best man or a maid of honor is a significant and meaningful honor. The following is a rundown of the various duties maids of honor and best men are now expected to handle once they’re chosen for these distinguished honors.

related to the look and the feel of the wedding. She typically accompanies the bride to dress shops to select gowns for the bride and bridesmaids. Much in the same manner, the best man will assist the groomto-be with choosing tuxedoes or suits and also with coordinating with the ushers to ensure they know when to go for fittings. Although the best man will serve as a sounding board for the groom, traditionally the bride and her bridesmaids have taken on the majority of the wedding planning, so the maid of honor can expect to play a larger role than the best man.

The best man will help ensure all the ushers are dressed and get the groom to the wedding on time. During the ceremony, the maid of honor will hold the bride’s bouquet. The best man will keep the rings safe until they are needed. The maid of honor also will help adjust the bride’s train and veil as she sits and stands during the ceremony. Both will sign the marriage certificate as witnesses. At the reception, the best man is expected to give a toast and the maid of honor may share some words as well.

Make wedding invites special Calligraphy, embossing, fonts, watermarks -- these and other terms are finely engrained in the wedding stationery lexicon. While traditionalists may pore over carefully crafted invitations and other stationery products from commercial printers, couples looking to rein in wedding spending may choose to take a more hands-on approach to wedding invitations ... by printing the invites themselves. Before the advent of sophisticated home computer systems and affordable desktop printers, brides- and grooms-to-be had to rely on professional printers and engravers. The process of producing wedding invitations likely involved printing plates or some form of thermography and took place in a building replete with bulky equipment and the pungent aroma of ink. Though formal and often exquisitely executed, these wedding invitations can still prove quite expensive. The Bridal Association of America says that the average cost of professionally produced wedding invitations is $659. This refers to invitations that have printed envelopes, reply cards, and printer reply card envelopes. Changes in design or even the color of the text can impact prices further. It is not unheard of to spend as much as $2,000 for high-quality engraved wedding invitations. Considering the invitation is held for a short period of time and then tossed away, some couples cannot imagine spending so much on invitations. In such instances, making your own invitations may be the most affordable option.
Pre-made kits A visit to a stationery store or even the local craft retailer should present shoppers with several different wedding invitation kits. These packages often include blank invitations, response cards, envelopes and other embellishments pertaining to the invitation design. Some can be quite elaborate, with the inclusion of vellum or card inserts, as well as die-cut designs. Couples who want control over the wording and printing but would rather leave the creative design to someone else can benefit from these invitation kits. They also tend to be affordably priced in comparison to a professional printing
service.
Crafty card-making Interest in scrapbooking and card-making has spurred craft centers to stock many different materials that can be used to design wedding invitations. Layering different types of paper to create a three-dimensional effect and using embellishments such as rhinestones or ribbon can help dress up the wedding invitation. Couples hosting a casual wedding for a small number of guests may enjoy the process of hand-crafting wedding invitations and possibly customizing them for each guest. Intimate affairs lend themselves well to this level of personalization, and handmade invitations could set the cozy tone of the celebration.
Graphic design work Couples who have a creative spark may want to draw up their own invitation design or look for the assistance of an artist or graphic designer. There are many different programs that employ the use of clip art and stock imagery that can be put to use with regard to invitations. Those who have a cursory knowledge of some design applications can import text and images and manipulate the size of their templates accordingly for the type of invitation they desire. The finished file then can be printed at home or brought to an office supply center for more professional results.
Digital services The Internet has brought many services right into the homes of the average person. Discount invitation printing vendors abound and couples can choose and customize everything they want on their invitations. Due to low overhead costs and an abundance of customers, these online retailers are often priced lower than other venues. The opportunities to create wedding invitations at home enables some budget-conscious couples to keep costs for stationery at a minimum. Not only does making their own invitations save money, it also enables couples to have more creative control over one of the important components of a wedding that helps set the tone for the occasion.
FLOWERS CONTINUED FROM 1B
“Those weeks after Tyler’s death, there were times when we couldn’t see that far ahead. But we got through it with an amazing staff and a lot of love and prayers. “I can’t say enough about Sherry Shaw, Tyler’s teacher who is now Sherry Upchurch. She was married over the summer. She kept things together in that class. She showed so much poise and strength, and I’m sure there wasn’t a day that she didn’t fall to pieces when she got home. “And a lot of the other staff members were trying to deal with their own situations, but always at school, always there for
the children. No principal could ask for a better staff to work with.” Sixteen of the 90 staff members lost their homes. Forty-four students lost their homes, and the homes of another 46 suffered significant damage. Hailey — entering her 18th year in education — admits to being “a bit nervous” about opening day. “With kids this age, you do good just to get them to school, get them seated and get them home,” she says. “But this year is sure to bring some special challenges. We still have students who are displaced. A lot of parents lost paperwork in the storm, things like birth certificates. We’ve been
trying to assist them and tell them where they need to go to get a new one. “We’ve got organizations and churches offering to make sure all the students have the supplies they need. Rev. (John) Temple (of Poplar Springs Baptist Church in Meridian), who helped counsel our staff in May, is working to get each teacher a weather radio. “We know there will be things that come up, things we have to work through. But we will take it day by day and get it done.” And one can always look to Tyler’s sunflowers, known to face east once fully grown. Awaiting sunrise. A new day. A fresh start.

Boseman drips with charisma as James Brown BY JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer
There’s a delicious moment in “Get On Up,” Tate Taylor’s new James Brown biopic, when Brown — played by Chadwick Boseman, in a thrillingly magnetic performance — is about to appear on the T.A.M.I. Show, a multi-act concert filmed in 1964. Backstage, the singer is informed that he and his band won’t be closing the show; that honor will be going to an up-and-coming British band called the Rolling Stones. Brown shakes off the disappointment, goes out and blows the roof off the place with the force of those growling vocals and explosive, kinetic dance moves. Then he saunters over to the Stones, just five skinny blokes who don’t know what hit them. “Welcome to America,” he says. Did he say that in real
life? No matter. The scene illustrates Brown’s most important qualities: his indescribable drive as a performer, and his almost blinding charisma. For that, kudos go to director Taylor and producers Brian Grazer and Mick Jagger (yes, that Mick Jagger, who’s made no secret of Brown’s influence on his own famous moves.) But none of it would work, of course, without Boseman, an actor on a remarkable run of late, playing Jackie Robinson in “42” and now this. If he was impressive as the dignified Robinson, he’s electrifying as Brown. And just as Brown, in life, upstaged pretty much everyone — including his bandmates, the Famous Flames — Boseman does that here. The always excellent Viola Davis plays Brown’s mother, Susie, but since Susie left her son as a boy, we don’t

In the end, we have a portrait that is not uniformly positive — Brown was too complicated for that — yet falls mostly on the kinder side. see enough Davis — just a few sad moments from Brown’s hardscrabble rural youth, and then one excruciating, wonderfully played scene later, when she comes to see her adult son backstage at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. The central relationship in Brown’s life, though, was with his friend and partner, Bobby Byrd, who stuck with him even as Brown’s ego pushed many away. As Byrd, Nelsan Ellis gives a thoughtful performance that, appropriately, grounds the film. (As Brown’s longtime manager, Dan Akyroyd occasionally gets a little hammy.) Many biopics of per-
formers follow a grating formula: Tough youth, obstacles overcome, fame discovered, more obstacles, descent into old age or worse. Here, Tate and talented screenwriters Jez Butterworth and JohnHenry Butterworth avoid this by jumping around in time, ditching chronology for a thematic approach. It can get confusing, but it keeps us on our toes. They also have Brown break the fourth wall at key moments. Alas, this isn’t done early or frequently enough to feel coherent. Perhaps there just wasn’t time; even at 138 minutes, the film has to barrel though parts of Brown’s long public life.
sound fabulous throughout; one imagines Jagger had something to do with that. (The vocals in the film are Brown’s; as for the dance moves, of course, that’s all Boseman. ) In the end, we have a portrait that is not uniformly positive — Brown was too complicated for that — yet falls mostly on the kinder side. At one point, Byrd is trying to explain to a frustrated bandmate why he sticks with Brown. “He’s a genius,” Byrd says simply. True enough. “Get On Up,” a Universal Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America “for sexual content, drug use, some strong language, and violent situations.” Running time: 138 minutes. Three stars out of four.
Helen Mirren confesses fear that she’d forgotten how to act BY SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
Crossword
(He died in 2006, at 73.) Luckily, there was time for the scene where an older Brown bursts into a meeting at a building he owns, shooting at the ceiling with a rifle; he’s annoyed someone used his private bathroom. Also memorable: the scene where Brown encounters a young Little Richard (Brandon Smith, highly entertaining), and Brown’s amusingly incongruous appearance in a ski sweater in the 1965 Frankie Avalon film “Ski Party.” Much more harrowing is a scene showing Brown hitting his second wife, DeeDee — a brief evocation of the man’s darker side. Also effective is a tense scene in which Brown forces his band, in rehearsal, to change the sound they’re used to playing. They resist; he wins. And the music does
LOS ANGELES — Helen Mirren lowers her voice to a whisper and her eyes take on a devious twinkle as she makes a confession: When she has a really good time making a movie, as she did on “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” she fears: “Oh my God, is it going to suck?” Never mind that the 69-year-old Dame of the British Empire who won an Oscar for playing the Queen just said a four-letter word. Mirren also said that when she takes time off work, she worries that she has forgotten how to act altogether. Of course, her 45-year career says otherwise. In “The HundredFoot Journey,” Mirren plays Madame Mallory, a prickly and particular restaurateur who takes overcooked asparagus as a personal affront. Her Michelin-starred restaurant, set in a quaint village that looks like a postcard, is among the most celebrated in France, and Mallory presides unforgivingly over its staff and
cuisine. Her chilly demeanor turns icy when an Indian family opens their own restaurant, the colorful Maison Mumbai, right across the street. Though Mirren was ready for a break after reprising her royal role on the London stage in Peter Morgan’s “The Audience,” she couldn’t say no to “The Hundred-Foot Journey.” Not only was the leadership top-notch — Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey are producers; Lasse Hallstrom directs — the project allowed Mirren to make good on a lifelong dream. “I’ve always secretly wanted to be a French actress and never actually managed it,” she said. Adding to the charmed project was its picturesque setting in the south of France (“You’d think you’re in an ad for France, but it’s all real,” Mirren said) and nightly homemade meals by co-star Om Puri, who plays the patriarch of the Indian family. “It was one of those absolutely blessed experiences,” Mirren said — the kind that make her
question a film’s quality. But she quashed that fear quickly: “We had Lasse, and Lasse was our secret weapon.” The director said Mirren — in character and out — added to the magic on set. “She’s so smart and skilled,” Hallstrom said. “She knows every aspect of filmmaking.” Except how to feel comfortable between projects. Time off makes her anxious. She fears breaking her concentration and losing the momentum of the character she’s meant to play. Mirren said that when she sees movies or theater, she feels “blown away” by other actors’ work and fearful of her own ability to execute. “And then maybe (I’ve) got a project coming up, and then I get really nervous because I think, ‘I can’t do that,’” the awardwinning actress said. “Then, of course, you start and you realize, ‘Oh yes, I can. This is what I do. This is my job.’” “The Hundred-Foot Journey” opens Aug. 8.
Lollapalooza marks decade in Chicago BY CARYN ROUSSEAU Associated Press
CHICAGO — Once the vagabond of the music festival and touring circuit, Lollapalooza marks its 10th anniversary in Chicago when it opens for three days starting Friday with a lineup including Eminem, Outkast and Kings of Leon. “We are very into the idea of being an international music event,” Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell said in a recent interview. “But I would have to acknowledge that if it were not for Chicago, that beautiful showroom, I don’t think we would be in the position we’re in now.” Farrell, the leader singer of Jane’s Addiction, started Lollapalooza in 1991. It was a tour until 1997 before a hiatus until 2003. There were struggles in 2004 when the event was canceled just weeks before it was to get underway because of poor ticket sales. But in 2005, Lollapalooza came to Chicago’s lakefront Grant Park where it hosted several dozen musical artists on five stages over two days. The headline in the Chicago Tribune the day after the festival ended read: “Successapalooza.” Its second year in Chicago, Lollapalooza grew to about 130 acts on nine stages with capac-
“It’s become a global imagebuilder for Chicago.” Don Welsh Presiden and CEO, Choose Chicago tourism organization ity for 75,000 people. This year promoters expect 100,000 on each day with as many acts on eight stages. The festival has grown over its years in Chicago, adding food tents with offerings from gourmet chefs and a children’s section. And it has brought acts like Lady Gaga, Nine Inch Nails, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay to town. Eventually, Lollapalooza became the basis for the modern festival culture and circuit that has evolved since, including events like Bonnaroo, Coachella and a legion of smaller multiday parties. This year, Lorde, Skrillex, Calvin Harris and Nas are part of the jam-packed lineup. Chicago city leaders decided in 2005 to let Lollapalooza take over its beloved Grant Park. They now say it was a wise decision, benefiting the city both culturally and financially. “It’s become a global image-builder for Chi-
cago,” said Don Welsh, president and chief executive officer of Choose Chicago, the city’s tourism and convention organization. “Lollapalooza has become synonymous with Chicago.” Last year, he said, the organization estimates Lollapalooza’s economic impact on Chicago was $140 million. This year for the first time the city and Lollapalooza promoters worked with tourism partners in international markets to make tickets available for music fans around the world. And Chicago Park District officials say festival proceeds have gone to pay for park improvements and educational and cultural programs. With an event this large, things haven’t always been perfect. A thunderstorm moved across Chicago in 2012 and shut down Lollapalooza, forcing promoters to shuffle the lineup. And at least twice parkland was muddied and damaged after the festival, but the promoters paid for repairs. From his point of view, Farrell says Chicago offers him “no plug-ups or bottlenecks.” “Just being in the presence of Chicago we look d--- good,” Farrell said. “I have nothing but praise and adulation and I want to do Chicago right.”

Serving Alcorn County
Travis Childers attending Fourth of July Jacinto Festival Prentiss County native Travis Childers, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, has con�rmed he will be one of the candidates to speak at this year’s Jacinto Fourth of July Festival. Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves has also con�rmed he will visit Jacinto on Independence Day. With a few days to go until this year’s festival, Reeves is thus far the only statelevel candidate to con�rm. Also joining the political speaking during the Jacinto Fourth of July Festival are Gina Rogers Smith, Alcorn Coun-
ty superintendent of education; Ben Gann, candidate for Corinth police chief; and Bobby Marolt, chancery clerk, who is also serving as the master of ceremonies. None of the incumbent congressional leaders have indicated that they will attend. Others attending are Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin; Jennifer McCoy, candidate for Corinth alderman at large; Danny Bedwell, candidate for U.S. House; and District 2 Rep. Nick Bain of Corinth. Vendors will offer the usual
assortment of arts, crafts and food. In this quieter year, there is no deadline for vendors. Space assignments will be made on Thursday, but sellers can still show up on Friday and get a spot. The festival also offers an opportunity to tour the old courthouse, view the museum exhibits and learn about the Chucalissa Indians, who will perform traditional dances. (For vendor reservations or other information, call 2868662.)
Photo of the Week
Khyree Hamer, Patrick Patterson, LaBarrion Shelton and Cory Harris recently posed for a photo by Zack Steen on their walk home from the Boys & Girls Club at the Crossroads Regional Park. Send your favorite image for “Photo of the Week� and related information to editor@dailycorinthian.com. Any thing will be considered: vacation shots, local landscape moments, family reunions, kids and grandkids, family at play, church or community activites.

Person of the Week
Jeff Allen Biggersville Fire and Rescue Chief Jeff Allen is Crossroads Weekly Person of the Week. “I want to give back to the community. I love helping people anyway I can,â€? said the chief. “Everyone has a purpose in life. I think I’ve found my purpose here.â€? Allen started out pulling hoses and eventually went on to lead others. “I started in 1998 and have never regretted it. I have been doing this for 16 years now. I was inactive for a couple of years to stay at home with our daughter who we adopted in 2004, on the weekends,â€? said Allen, who oversees 23 members at two stations. “I’ve got a good group of folks. When you have a good group of folks, life and work is a whole lot easier.â€? While only a part-time job, working at the station can seem like a full-time career. “They make it a lot easier to divide up the responsibilities,â€? said Allen, who is proud of his team. “I know I can call on anyone of them to help out and it will get done.â€? Before becoming a ďż˝reďż˝ghter, Allen was an operations spe-
cialist in the U.S. Navy, serving from 1993 to 1997 aboard the U.S.S. Thorn and as a Military Policeman (MP) and Cavalry Scout in the Mississippi Army National Guard. In addition to working with Biggersville Fire and Rescue, Allen has been a programmer at CM solutions for 10 years and he also serves as a freelance photographer for the Daily Corinthian. The 1987 Biggersville High School graduate holds two Associate of Arts degrees, one in electronics and the other in auto cadd from Northeast Mississippi Community College. He is currently pursuing an online elementary education degree through Mississippi State. When not at work or hitting the books, the Biggersville native enjoys spending time with his wife, Bea, who also works for the �re station. The 44-year-old is the father of Nicole Allen and the stepfather of William and Phillip Hutchinson. In his spare time, he enjoys �shing, metal detecting, hunting arrowheads and watching Mississippi State football.
