Today’s Highlight in History: On August 10, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a measure providing $20,000 payments to still-living JapaneseAmericans who’d been interned by their government during World War II.
On this date: In 1680, Pueblo Indians launched a successful revolt against Spanish colonists in present-day New Mexico. In 1792, during the French Revolution, mobs in Paris attacked the Tuileries Palace, where King Louis XVI resided. (The king was later arrested, put on trial for treason, and executed.) In 1821, Missouri became the 24th state. In 1846, President James K. Polk signed a measure establishing the Smithsonian Institution. In 1874, Herbert Clark Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, was born in West Branch, Iowa. In 1913, the Treaty of Bucharest was signed, ending the Second Balkan War. In 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with polio at his summer home on the Canadian island of Campobello. In 1949, the National Military Establishment was renamed the Department of Defense. In 1962, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum was dedicated in West Branch, Iowa, on the 88th birthday of the former president, who attended the ceremony along with former President Harry S. Truman. In 1969, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their Los Angeles home by members of Charles Manson’s cult, one day after actress Sharon Tate and four other people had been slain. In 1975, television personality David Frost announced he had purchased the exclusive rights to interview former President Richard Nixon. In 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as the second female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

young people take the attitude of Patterson. “We would like for them to take along what we did and invest in the life of someone else,” added the member. “If we can effect one maybe it will trickle down.” Patterson, who plans to enter the ministry following college, is forever grateful to BMAD. “It’s a blessing because they could have chosen anyone,” he said. “You never know who is looking at you.” Taylor agrees. “We tell kids all the time ‘just because you don’t see us doesn’t mean we aren’t paying attention to what you are doing.’” he said.
the program last year. Based on the concept “When kids get to move as school, things get better,” the initiative is 10 minutes of physical activity done to an exercise video led by a character named Coach Calhoun. “Move to Learn” is made possible through the partnership of the Bower Foundation and the Mississippi Department of Education Office of Healthy School. “We believe if we can encourage kids to be here, learning opportunities improve,” said Knippers.

The encouragement seems to be working as the elementary school is on pace to eclipse the number of students from a year ago. Last year, CES ended the last month of school with 1,166 students. Just two days into the new year, the school is approaching 1,250 students. “We are seeing large numbers in kindergarten classes,” said Knippers. “I also think families are moving to Corinth to take advantage of what the city has to offer.” In 2012, CES saw a huge bump in kindergarten students. The in-
crease from that group has also effected this year, as first grade classes jumped from 12 to 15. Knippers believes the district’s six weeks of Summer Fun Camp also played a part in drawing students to CES. “The summer program has made things attractive,” he said. “By us continuing to provide a positive learning experience through the summer, kids get to see they can be active in school and not just sitting at a desk.” Through a physical education grant, the school is bringing motion to its music classes.
“It’s like P.E., but it’s music with a lot more movement,” said the principal. “We also use a lot of music in our P.E. classes … everything is integrated.” Hands-on experiences through the campus garden is also being used to promote a more healthy lifestyle. Each of the 60 classes is responsible for helping in the garden. Produce harvested from the project is then used in the school cafeteria. “We have got off to a good start,” said Knippers. “Everything has went smooth the first week.”

City of Corinth Gas & Water Department encourages people to make a free call 2 days before digging to know what’s below. 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.

“On Aug. 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 line,” said John Rhodes, Manager of Corinth Gas & Water Department. “It really is the only way to know which utilities are buried in your area.” 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.
