Meeting will focus on school funding BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

One of top advocates for better education in Mississippi is coming to the Crossroads. The Parents’ Campaign will give the featured presenta-

tion during next week’s Alcorn County P16 Parent Advisory Council meeting. Set for Thursday, August 11 at 6 p.m. inside the Biggersville High School gym, a one hour presentation will explain how

schools in the state are funded. The meeting will be open to the public. “It’s a true honor to have this group as our guest,” said P16 chairperson Jodi Fiveash. “Hopefully they can share some

insight into school funding and the legislative process that budgets school funding can be shared with our county.” The Parents’ Campaign was founded Nancy Loome and fellow public school parents

The Crossroads Museum already had the lights and camera. It’s the action the museum has been missing. Organizers of the 15th Annual Crossroads Museum Photo Contest have remedied the issue by adding Hometown Teams as a category. “We didn’t really change any categories from last year,” said museum executive director Brandy Steen. “The only thing we added was Hometown Teams.” Organizers did away with two categories last year. The five divisions – Close-ups; People; Pets/Animals/Wildlife; Still Life and Vacations – are back again this year. “Hometown Teams will tie into the Smithsonian Exhibit which will launch on Nov. 19,” added Steen. “The category can include any sports-related photo.” Cost is $10 per entry for the first three entries and $5 for

each entry after that. The Best of Show winner will receive $150. First, second and third place will be awarded in each category. Each first place winner will receive $50. All second place winners get a 2017 entry fee waiver worth $10. All winners will be awarded ribbons. Entries will be displayed during the Alcorn County Fair on Sept. 13-17 and from Sept. 25 through Nov. 12 at the Crossroads Museum. The Hometown Teams photos will be displayed at the museum through Dec. 31. Winners will be announced prior to being displayed. Deadline to enter is Sept. 6 by 4 p.m. “The contest is open to everyone,” said Steen. “Photos which have been previously published are also now eligible.” Photos that have been a previous contest winner are ineligible.

Matt Meeks is trying to grow the Alcorn Central Middle School football program. In his third year as head football coach, Meeks is ready for the season to begin. “My goal this year is to win. We’re going to have 50 or 60 kids playing and a real good group of eighth graders returning,” he said. “I love my guys. They are like my sons, and they gained a ton of confidence last year.” One of the coach’s top goals for the year is out scoring his alma mater Kossuth in the home opener on August 23. “I think we have a really good opportunity to beat Kossuth and prove to everyone that Central Middle has a team that can win,” said Meeks. Married to Chasity, the couple have one son, four-year-old Tristan.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Aug. 7, the 220th day of 2016. There are 146 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 7, 1789, the U.S. Department of War was established by Congress.

On this date: In 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into fullscale violence. In 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.) In 1974, French stuntman Philippe Petit repeatedly walked a tightrope strung between the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center. In 1989, a plane carrying U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, and 14 others disappeared over Ethiopia. (The wreckage of the plane was found six days later; there were no survivors.) In 1998, terrorist bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. In 2005, ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings, 67, died in New York. In 2010, Elena Kagan was sworn in as the 112th justice and fourth woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Local/Region Across the Region Booneville Booneville schools to keep taxes level BOONEVILLE — Booneville School District residents are not expected to see a tax rate increase this year. The city school board recently approved a budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year that includes an increase in revenue and expenditures but should not result in an ad valorem tax rate increase, said Superintendent Todd English. The budget anticipates a $209,478 increase in money coming into the district, primarily due to a rise in state funding. An additional $50,000 is budgeted from local taxes which English said will come from a rise in the assessed value of property in the county and not due to an increase in the millage rate which should state at 44.9 mills. English noted the current millage rate is among the lowest in the area, despite the district consistently being rated as one of the best in the

state. He said Booneville doesn’t receive the amount of federal funds many other districts receive because much of that funding is targeted to boost achievement in lower performing schools.

Ripley Deputies arrest one for marijuana in bust RIPLEY — Tippah County Sheriff’s Department investigator Chris McCallister says one person is in custody following a recent drug bust, according to the Southern Sentinel. Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics spotted two plots of marijuana near the Tippah Union County line from a helicopter and alerted the two sheriff’s departments. Upon arrival, the plants were determined to be located in Tippah County. The two departments removed around 200 plants in a cooperative effort with MBN. One person was arrested later today and remains in custody at Tippah County Jail. A

name has not yet been released. The Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics is still investigating the case.

Starkville Man charged with cyberstalking cop STARKVILLE — A man is under arrest because he’s accused of going online and threatening the life of a Starkville police officer multiple times. WTVA reported the identity of the man as 41-year-old Christopher Lindsey of Starkville. Lindsey was arrested Thursday at an apartment on North Montgomery Street and charged with cyberstalking. Police released a social media post by Lindsey that included the following: “Officer... gonna die with me....I have a personal issue with you....Come get this black boy....I got my gun now.”

At the time of his arrest, Lindsey was out on bond for simple assault on an officer, driving under the influence and having a suspended driver’s license.

Columbus School district gets national recognition COLUMBUS — One local school district has received a national honor for using digital content and curriculum to help students learn. The Columbus Municipal School District was named the top medium school district by the Center for Digital Education, a national research institute that helps schools use new technologies. The honor was presented Wednesday at the fourth annual Digital Content and Curriculum Achievement Awards in Denver. According to the CDE, the efforts by the Columbus schools have increased student achievement and improved graduation rates around 20 percent.

The Moore family have received a state 4H award, the W.M. and Ruth Hale Master 4-H Family award given only to the most active 4-H families. Roger attended adult agriculture programs with Carson when he was a toddler, and Ricky Mathenia, the Agriculture Agent, would pick Carson up and carry him on his hip during the program. Later, Mr. Mathenia coached all four of the children in this family to a state and/or national award in 4-H Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Program. 4-H Agent Staci Foy worked with this family for a few years, and current 4-H Agent, Julie Harstin has had the privilege of working with them for the past eight. They are a proud home school family. Standing, left to right, are: Roger Moore, Bryce Moore, Wesley Moore, and Carson Moore. Seated, left to right, are Rose Moore, and Amber Moore Monroe.

Our View

Local correctional facility may get more state inmates Alcorn County got great news recently from the Mississippi Department of Corrections. MDOC is offering the county the opportunity to house more state inmates, although the daily reimbursement for the new prisoners will be at a reduced rate. With the county needing to bolster the finances at the regional correctional facility, it’s an offer which left the Board of Supervisors with smiles on their faces. MDOC will continue to pay the county $29.74 per day per inmate for the contractual minimum of 240 inmates and will pay $20 per inmate per day for any inmates above the contractual minimum. The board approved an addendum to its contract with MDOC to make the new arrangement possible. Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell told supervisors on Monday there are no guarantees, but he told MDOC the county could take as many was 120 more inmates. There is hope the county could get 100 more inmates, said the sheriff. We hope Caldwell is right. Any more numbers would be a plus. The facility will have some initial costs for clothing and mats, but the sheriff does not anticipate having to hire more staff to manage the additional prisoners. Prior to the reduction at the regionals, the facility held about 300 state inmates. The offer from MDOC comes following the announcement it will close the privately managed Walnut Grove Correctional Facility in Leake County in September due to budget constraints and the prison population. The 900 prisoners there will go elsewhere in the system. Walnut Grove opened in 2001 and has been run by Management & Training Corporation since 2012 with a current annual contract cost of $14.6 million. Its closing follows the reduction in population at the 15 regional jails, the closure of four community work centers and the end of the paid Joint State County Work Program. Let’s hope MDOC sends some of the Walnut Grove inmates to Alcorn County. $20 per day is better than nothing.

Trump’s road still open At stake in 2016 is the White House, the Supreme Court, the Senate and, possibly, control of the House of Representatives. Hence, Republicans have a decision to make. Will they set aside political and personal feuds and come together to win in November, after which they can fight over the future of the party, and the country? Or will they split apart, settling scores now, lose it all, and, then, after November, begin a battle to allocate blame for a historic defeat that will leave wounds that will never heal. Republicans have been here before. After the crushing defeat of 1964, Govs. Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney and William Scranton, whose principles required them to abandon Barry Goldwater, discovered that, when the cheering of the press stopped, they carried the mark of Cain. As national leaders, they were finished. Richard Nixon, who had lost to JFK, lost to Gov. Pat Brown, quit politics and moved to New York to practice law, took oﬀ two months in 1964 to campaign for Barry Goldwater. Four years later, with Barry’s backing, Nixon was rewarded with the party’s nomination, and the presidency.

Now between Goldwater and Trump there are great differences. A relevant Pat one is this: Buchanan Trump still has a chance Columnist of becoming president. In August 1964, Barry was 36 points behind LBJ. As of today, Trump is 10 points behind Clinton. What does Trump need to do? In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, “Keep your eyes on the prize” – the presidency. And between Trump and the presidency today stands not Paul Ryan, but Hillary Clinton. The Donald, his campaign, and party need to cease attacking one another to the elation of a hostile media, and redirect all their fire on the sole obstacle between them and a Republican sweep. Nor is it all that complex or diﬃcult a task. For, as secretary of state, Clinton made a compelling case for her being ranked as about the worst in American history. She began her tenure by breaking State Department rules and setting up a private email server in her home. She compromised U.S. national security, setting oﬀ a criminal investigation that

ended with the director of the FBI virtually accusing her of lying about everything she told the country about her misconduct. As of mid-July, 56 percent of Americans thought the Democratic nominee should have been indicted. She is a compulsive fabricator, telling a harrowing story about running under sniper fire across the tarmac of some Balkan airfield, until TV footage showed her accepting a bouquet from a little girl. “Benghazi” has today become a synonym both for the selfless heroism of American warriors, and for the squalid mendacity of politicians desperate to cover their fannies. Clinton is in there with the latter, accused of misleading families of the fallen about why their sons died. Twenty years ago, The New York Times’ William Safire called Clinton a “congenital liar.” Has her subsequent career disproven or validated that judgment? Trump, though, needs not only to make the case against her, but for himself, and for the ideas that vaulted him to victory in the primaries that brought out millions of new voters. What are they? Trump will secure the Southern border and halt the invasion of illegal immigrants. He will throw out the

Obama tax and trade policies that have betrayed American workers and bled us of our manufacturing power. In all future trade deals, Americanism will replace globalism as our guiding light. Where Clinton regards Ruth Bader Ginsburg as her model Supreme Court justice, Trump’s nominees will be in the tradition of Justice Antonin Scalia. As for the defense of the United States, Peace through Strength, the Eisenhower policy, will be the Trump policy. And as our strength is restored, Trump will, like Ike, Nixon, Reagan and Bush I, negotiate with enemies and adversaries from a position of strength. But we will negotiate. America’s era of endless wars – is coming to an end. Where Clinton will continue all of the policies that produced the unacceptable present, we will change Washington as it has not been changed since Ronald Reagan rode in from the West. As for the renegade and cut-and-run Republicans who just won’t come home, as they say at Motel 6, “We’ll leave the light on for you.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

Does either party have a winning strategy? What is the campaign strategy for the two political parties? Clues can be had from the responses to a question I asked about a dozen dignitaries of each party at their conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia. What’s your best guess, I asked, emphasizing guess, of your nominee’s percentage of the popular vote in November 2016? I understood the responses, being on the record, were not entirely frank. Only two Republicans guessed Donald Trump would lose; only one Democrat said he was uncertain about the result. One thing the responses had in common is that they reflected pre-convention polling, which showed Clinton 3 to 5 points ahead. Democrats did not seem to be taking into account postRepublican Convention polling that showed the race essentially even. But otherwise the differed. Only two Republicans guessed that Trump would get more than 50 percent of the vote. Several made a point of saying that minor party candidates -- Libertarian Gary Johnson, Green Jill Stein -- would get a significant number of votes. Most Democrats did not take this prospect very se-

riously. Only two guessed that Clinton’s percentage would be under 49 percent. Most Michael thought it be Barone would 52 percent Columnist or higher – more than Barack Obama’s 51 percent in 2012. Acting national chairman Donna Brazile guessed that Clinton would win 303 electoral votes, which she would if she carried every Obama 2012 state except Florida. It may be natural for Republicans to consider more permutations and combinations than Democrats. Republicans have just been through a primary cycle in which conventional wisdom has been disrupted over and over. Democrats’ result was the one they expected all along. As is the result they seem to expect in November. They’ve internalized the analyses that claim that demographic change – increasing percentages of nonwhites, millennials, single women in the electorate – have propelled them to something like permanent majority status. They understand that

Donald Trump is running stronger than previous Republican nominees among non-college-educated white men and their speakers made ritual obeisance to the meme that Democrats are better for the little guy. The Clinton Convention was forced to claim that things are better than you think and even to take on the trappings of optimistic nationalism and, at some risk of boos from Bernie bros, add flags and generals in its third and fourth days. That risks being at odds with the middle of the electorate and its own left wing at the same time. The second is that the candidate promises economic growth with policies that have over the last seven years produced only sluggish growth – more sluggish than economists thought, it turns out, from GDP statistics released July 29. The 16 references to “growth” in the BernieSanders-influenced party platform refer mostly to policies helping one or more of the party’s favored splinter groups. There’s also a claim that higher taxes will stimulate growth and a promise of more infrastructure spending. But as Barack Obama grinningly observed, there

are no shovel-ready projects. And if you want someone who will sweep aside environmental barriers and regulatory delays, you might well prefer Donald Trump. The third imponderable is something pollsters can’t reliably gauge: turnout. Even with Barack Obama’s endorsement, Clinton is unlikely to equal the black turnout and Democratic percentages of 2008 and 2012. Hispanics have shown less enthusiasm for repudiating Trump than Democrats expected. Young voters, who dislike Trump but voted heavily for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries, may be hard to rally. Polling shows many under-35s who choose Clinton in a two-way race prefer Libertarian Gary Johnson or the Green party’s Jill Stein when given the option. That could swell the minor party vote above the 1.0 to 1.8 percent they received in the last three elections. So which party has a winning strategy? Not clear.

Do this without being dragged into a cesspool of negative behavior. Imagine grudges sliding oﬀ of you. A grudge free life is a happier life. (Now available: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

BMAD CONTINUED FROM 1A Staff photo by Steve Beavers

Crossroads Museum Executive Director Brandy Steen goes through some early entries in the 15th Annual Crossroads Museum Photo Contest.

PHOTOS CONTINUED FROM 1A

Photos are required to be submitted unframed and unmated as a 8x10 print. A completed entry form is required for each entry. All entries will be judged on use of lighting, clarity, composition,

expressions, creativity, exposure and color. A photo may also be moved to a diﬀerent category as deemed necessary by the museum. The photo contest has seen the number of entrants hover around the 200 mark each year. The high mark of the event –

which is a museum fundraiser – is 217 entrants during the first year of the contest. (For more information about the contest contact Steen at 662287-3120 or at director@crossroadsmuseum.com.)

“MSU seemed like the best choice for me,” she said. “I hope other high school students keep pushing and don’t quit … blessings will come and God will bless them like He has me.” BMAD has been making a diﬀerence in the lives of young people since 1999. The group has been making its laptop donation to a worthy high school graduate for over 10 years.

FRIENDS CONTINUED FROM 1A

with Searcy Police Officer Trace Madden and retired Police Sgt. David Drennan to pick up movement T-shirts from T-Burns Impressions next door to Borroum’s Drug Store on Thursday. “Barak has always had a pastor’s heart even when he was in high school,” said Teresa Burns, owner of TBurns. “He would go the extra mile to help people … he made the difference in the lives of people.” T-Burns is in charge of printing “Friends of Police” shirts and decals in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. Stafford, Burns and Cheryl Starling all worked together as dispatchers in the 1990s. Starling was instrumental in starting the Blue Bow effort. Stafford, pastor at The Gathering Place in Searcy, got the idea from his friend, David Ratley, following the shooting of police officers in Dallas. “David said the ‘blue family has a lot of friends’ and that got my wheels to turning,” said Stafford. Stephanie Powers, a member of The Gathering Place, designed the decals and two Arkansas churches went to together to purchase 500 of them to give away. “I just told her what I wanted and she did a perfect job,” said Stafford. “People just picked up the

idea after that.” Decals have been sent to several places including Washington, Texas, Missouri, Maryland, Baton Rouge, La. and also to Great Britain. The effort isn’t pitting one group of people against the other, according to Stafford. “This isn’t a Blue Lives Matter or Black Lives Matter thing,” he said. “It’s a movement to sit down and try to understand one another.” Burns knows the dangers enforcement face every day having retired after 28 years with Alcorn County 911. “This is my family,” she said while looking at a group of officers talking in the shop. “I feel so blessed to be part of ‘Friends of Police’ and I believe in what Barak is doing … this is going to impact the entire world.” Each decal and shirt sold will see a portion donated to local law enforcement.

Clinton charts road to 270 BY THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa â€” Hillary Clinton doesnâ€™t appear all that interested in making scenic stops on her state-to-state quest to become president. The Democratic nominee is instead programming her GPS to take her on the quickest route to collect the 270 Electoral College votes she needs to win the White House. With three months until Election Day, Clintonâ€™s campaign is focused on capturing the battleground states that have decided the most recent presidential elections, not so much on expanding the map. Clintonâ€™s team doesnâ€™t rule out an eďŹ€ort at Arizona, a state with a booming population of Latino voters that polls find are loath to support Trump. And Georgia, a bastion of the Deep South, echoes recent population trends in other Southeastern states where Clinton is competing aggressively. But neither is among the 11 battleground states that Clintonâ€™s television advertising plans and her travel schedule point to as her focus. Those states are the perennial top-tier targets Florida and Ohio, plus Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North

Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. President Barack Obama carried them all in 2008, and missed out on only North Carolina during his 2012 re-election campaign. â€œThe last two elections have given Democrats an electoral path for victory,â€? said Clinton campaign adviser John Anzalone. â€œAnd our strategy is to efficiently use our resources to lock down the support we need to reach 270 electoral votes.â€? After a bump in support for Clinton in national polls that followed the Democratic convention and tracked Trumpâ€™s recent gaďŹ€es, the number of states where Clinton will invest her time and money may get smaller than 11. When the Clinton campaign booked more than $23 million in new television ad time late this past week to start on Monday, it spent most of the money in just three states: Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Feeling good about Colorado and Virginia, the campaign passed on giving those states a fresh injection of ad dollars, though they remain heavily staďŹ€ed with organizers. Likewise, oďŹƒcials with the pro-Clinton group Priorities USA say they have put its advertising plans there on hold.

Chief, protesters at odds over police body cameras BY DON BABWIN Associated Press

CHICAGO â€” Chicagoâ€™s police superintendent on Saturday suggested that an oďŹƒcerâ€™s body camera wasnâ€™t turned on when he fatally shot a black teen last month because the oďŹƒcer had only received it about a week earlier and wasnâ€™t yet proficient in using it. But demonstrators who held a march protesting the killing voiced strong suspicions that the camera may have been turned oďŹ€ as part of a cover-up. At a news conference, Superintendent Eddie Johnson discussed nine videos taken from dashcams in police cars and body cameras on other officers involved. The videos show oďŹƒcers firing repeatedly at a stolen car as it careens down the street away from them.

They also show the oďŹƒcers handcuďŹƒng a wounded Paul Oâ€™Neal, who was driving the stolen car, after a chaotic foot chase through a residential neighborhood in the cityâ€™s South Shore neighborhood. â€œThey had had those cameras maybe about a week. ... Thereâ€™s going to be a learning curve,â€? Johnson said of the body cameras. The cameras were introduced to one police district early last year as part of a pilot project. They have since been distributed to six other districts and the oďŹƒcer who shot Oâ€™Neal had been issued a camera as part of that rollout, said department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. He did not know when oďŹƒcers in the rest of the cityâ€™s 22 districts would be issued body cameras.

42 hurt at concert when railing falls CAMDEN, N.J. â€” Authorities said 42 people have been hurt after a railing collapsed during a concert by Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa in New Jersey. A partition separating concertgoers from the stage at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden collapsed, causing people to fall onto the concrete below. It happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. Friday. Camden County officials said one fan suffered a serious upper body injury and remained hospitalized Saturday in stable condition. Numerous other people were treated for broken bones, bruises and other injuries.

Critics say Cuomoâ€™s figures donâ€™t add up ALBANY, N.Y. â€” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomoâ€™s signature economic development program may have created fewer jobs than the state says. The Democratic governorâ€™s administration released a report on Start-UP NY that says the program has generated 408 jobs since its 2013 launch. But a close look at the database accom-

panying the report puts the number at 395, and a lawmaker says other discrepancies suggest dozens of jobs may have been doublecounted. Democratic Assemblyman Robin Schimminger says it appears the numbers were inflated to make Start-Up look better. Howard Zemsky, Cuomoâ€™s top economic development official, stands by the information and says it is accurate.

Philly opens stateâ€™s 1st Mormon temple PHILADELPHIA â€” The Mormon church is offering the general public a rare opportunity to tour its 152nd temple, a first of its kind in Pennsylvania and a prominent addition to downtown Philadelphia. Public tours of the granite temple will run between Wednesday and Sept. 9 near the cityâ€™s Logan Circle, after which the temple will be dedicated and only church members in good standing will be permitted to walk its halls. Regional membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints has grown to more than 40,000 members in parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and

Maryland. The growth prompted church leadership in 2008 to announce the temple plans.

â€˜To-go-cupsâ€™ are now OK in Ocean Springs OCEAN SPRINGS â€” Customers are now allowed to carry alcoholic drinks out of bars and restaurants in parts of Ocean Springs, thanks to a new â€œto-go-cupâ€? ordinance. The ordinance took effect Saturday. WLOX-TV reported that the city has been distributing information on the law and its restrictions. Patrons in a specified entertainment district can leave an establishment with alcohol, but they canâ€™t carry the adult drink into another place that serves alcohol. Bars and restaurants must serve the drinks in clear, plastic cups that are no larger than 16 ounces.

Video shows police fire at fleeing car CHICAGO â€” Video released Friday shows Chicago police firing repeatedly at a stolen car as it careens down the street away from them, then handcuffing the mortally wounded black 18-year-old who was at the wheel after a chaotic foot chase through a residential neighborhood. None of the footage from last month shows the moment Paul Oâ€™Neal was shot in the back; the fatal bullet was fired after he exited the stolen car and was running from police. Shortly afterward, Oâ€™Neal can be seen lying face-down on the ground in a backyard, blood soaking through the back of his T-shirt. An officer is heard angrily accusing the suspected car thief of firing at police. Another officer asks, â€œThey shot at us too, right?â€? suggesting police believed they had been fired upon and that they did not know how many suspects were present. No gun was recovered from the scene.

Heirs to Barqâ€™s soda battle over finances BILOXI â€” A Mississippi family famous for its role in Gulf Coast soft drink history is now involved in a $1 million legal battle.

VICKSBURG â€” A Vicksburg man is being held in the Warren County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond charged with first-degree murder after his arrest in a Wednesday night shooting death. The victim was 35-yearold Bobby Nelson. Police tell The Vicksburg Post that Derrick Williams was arrested in Greenville Thursday night and returned to Vicksburg. Municipal Judge Toni Terrett set the bond during an initial appearance Friday. Williams fled Vicksburg after the shooting, and was later picked up by Greenville police officers at the request of the Vicksburg police criminal investigation division.

Judge: Sixth District drug court bankrupt NATCHEZ â€” The Sixth Judicial Districtâ€™s drug court program is out of money to make payroll for the year, and Adams County officials are asking other counties to kick in additional funds for the program. Judge Lillie Blackmon Sanders met with the Adams County Board of Supervisors Thursday and said the program is out of money. The drug court program â€” which requires participants to undergo intensive, long-term treatment and counseling in exchange for reduced or dismissed charges â€” is funded by a grant, but Adams County supplements it with an additional $30,000 annually.

Carlton Reeves on Friday denied a tugboat ownerâ€™s request to be reimbursed up to $2.1 million of oil spill cleanup costs. The U.S. Coast Guard earlier denied payment. A tugboat owned by Natureâ€™s Way Marine of Alabama pushed a barge into the Vicksburg railroad bridge in January 2013, spilling 7,100 gallons of crude oil. The company spent $3 million on cleanup, but claims the federal government should cover costs above $850,000.

Funeral home offers free app BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A long time local funeral home is investing back into the community they call home. Magnolia Funeral Home is oﬀering the community a very unique opportunity to assist local first responders through an ingenious marketing initiative that could help save lives. The Vital ICE App allows individuals to download it on their phone to have the peace of mind that, even in a life-threatening situations, their pertinent information is readily available to assist the paramedics and EMTs in providing the proper treatment. “This is for everyone,”

said Jimmy Calvary, owner of Magnolia Funeral Home. “Anyone in the community that has a smart phone can access it and we are sponsoring it so that no one has to pay to use it. It’s our way of giving back – thanking the people of the community that help us stay in business.” The Vital ICE App allows the user to store their contact information, emergency contacts, allergies, current medications, allergies to medications, medical history and a copy of their insurance card. “The app can be used for several things,” said Funeral Director Greg Woodruﬀ. “It provides first aid scenarios, a one-

touch dial of 911 with GPS location and an emergency group that can be notified of the user’s distress and location.” Woodruﬀ added the app provides a reminders section where the user can enter in their doctors and pertinent appointments, as well as daily medications. “In the event of an emergency, first responders can use the Vital ICE app to retrieve the user’s vital information,” he said. “This information can then be easily taken on the ambulance to the hospital or sent directly to the hospital.” According Woodruﬀ, the personal information entered into the app can be accessed by no one

other then the individual who has access to the phone. “Magnolia, nor the app company can access any of your important info,” he said. The app can be download from either the Apple App Store or Google Play by searching for Vital ICE app. To access the free version of the app made possible by Magnolia, enter promo code “2024” when prompted. As a additional service, Woodruff is offering to provide help with the download of the app or answer questions. “I’m here to help anyone who needs it,” he said. (Woodruff can be contacted at 662-286-9500.)

Jumper Realty has big Cruise firm: Restoring quarter for home sales ocean liner too pricey Jumper Realty & Associates posted another banner quarter, again hitting a sales volume high. The firm topped the market with sales of $10,033,700 from its own oﬃce listings, more than twice the previous quarter’s total. The average sale price was $318,050. The number of days to closing averaged about 55. “Average home sale prices for the market continued to rise, which is good for everybody,” said Realtor Doug Jumper. “Overall, the market has really stabilized itself since the recession.” The MLS average is at $223,000, up substantially from around $120,000 a couple of years ago. The upper end of the market, with homes at $250,000 and more, continues to be soft. “I believe this is partly due to the limited buyer pool in that price range

and the discounted price of resale homes in that price range in the market this year,” said Jumper. This quarter, Jumper welcomed to the oﬃce Brenda Hayes, wife of John Hayes, also a member of the Jumper team. “They are working together as the newest realtor team for the market and have already reached the million dollar club for production in 2016,” said Jumper. Demand continues to be high at the upscale apartment development The Pinnacle on South Tate Street, where units are spoken for several months in advance of construction. More are scheduled to open late in the year and early next year. The firm is also working with Caterpillar on another project related to a new engine line coming to Corinth.

PHILADELPHIA — Don’t buy tickets quite yet for a luxury sail on the SS United States. Plans to return the historic ocean liner to the high seas are being abandoned for a second time after a cruise company concludes it’s not feasible. Los Angeles-based Crystal Cruises will instead make a $350,000 donation to the conservation group that owns the ship, which has been sitting idle at a Philadelphia wharf for two decades. The company had pledged to spend at least $700 million to return the ship, which is bigger than the Titanic, to its glory days as a luxury ocean liner. But the task proved too great, even though they found the ship structurally sound. “Unfortunately, the hurdles that would face us when trying to bring

a 65-year-old vessel up to modern safety, design and international regulatory compliance have proven just too great,” Crystal Cruises President Edie Rodriguez said in a statement. Norwegian Cruise Lines announced a similar overhaul in 2003 that did not materialize for similar reasons. Susan Gibbs, executive director of the conservancy, said the ship could still be turned into a waterfront attraction, perhaps with a museum component, in New York or elsewhere. In the 1950s, the ship carried everyone from royalty to immigrants across the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by three on-board orchestras. It was the biggest and fastest ocean liner that had ever been built in the United States at the time.
