Local kindergarten students tested above average in the latest results of statewide testing.

Close to 245 Alcorn School District and 240 Corinth School District kindergarteners took

the spring and reported a score climb of 202.

Both districts fall testing average score fell into the “Late Emergent Reader” category, while the spring average score noted students as “Transitional Reader.”

Students who scored between 675 and 774 on testing have mastered alphabet skills and letter-sound relationships. The students can identify many beginning and ending consonant sounds and long and short vowel sounds, and is probably able

to blend sounds and word parts to read simple words. The students are also likely using a variety of strategies to figure out words, such as pictures, story patterns and phonics.

Donations necessary at shelter Church offers

(This is the final “State of the Shelter” story, the fourth installment of an in-depth series on the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter.)

The Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter needs to raise an extra $90,000 per year to stay open.

Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner said the only way the local no kill, nonprofit shelter can get there is by way of fundraisers and donations from the community.

“Many people don’t realize a lot of simple things can be done to help the shelter keep the doors open and help the animals we care for get adopted,” said Doehner. “Some folks are already doing certain things that helps the shelter.”

Doehner’s example is Kroger’s Community Rewards program.

“Those who already shop at Kroger and use their Kroger Plus card can select the shelter

in community rewards,” she said. “The program donates money to nonprofit organizations when enrolled supporters use their Kroger Plus cards.”

That means individuals can earn money for the shelter every time they buy groceries or gas at Kroger. Making the selection adds no extra cost to the customer and has no effect on discounts or fuel points.

“We already receive a check from Kroger for $400 to $600 a month. The check is a direct result of the folks who have already selected us,” said

Doehner.

To enroll, card members should visit krogercommunityrewards.com and search for “Corinth Alcorn Animal Shelter,” and click on the name to confirm.

Those who shop at Roger’s Supermarket can also help shelter animals.

“They’ll give back 1 percent of any receipt’s subtotal,” said Doehner.

Roger’s shoppers should place receipts in a envelope or bag and place the shelter’s name (Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter) on a piece of paper as well as their name. Individuals should then give these items to Roger’s staff or mail them. A check will then be sent to the shelter with the donors name in the memo line.

Online shoppers who use Amazon can also have .5 percent of each purchase donated to the shelter.

Aldermen to consider 2 ordinance changes

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A couple of proposed ordinance changes — one affecting sewer connections and one concerning transient vendors — are set to come before the Corinth Board of Aldermen.

The two ordinances are expected to be considered for adoption at the board’s next regular meeting on Sept. 5.

The change regarding sewer connections would eliminate the 100-foot provision. As the ordinance is currently written, if a resident is more than 100 feet from the sewer line and has adequate acreage for individual sewer treatment, the city cannot require that person to connect.

With the change, “If sewer is actually available in a reasonable distance, you will be required to hook on,” said

new experience

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

TISHOMINGO COUNTY — Worship doesn’t have to be formal and it doesn’t have to be in a traditional church building.

This is the idea behind a new type of worship experience Oakland Baptist Church is offering.

Oakland is hosting this new experience at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday at Tishomingo County High School.

Bro. Dyer Harbor, OBC Associate Pastor and Campus Pastor at the TCHS location, said, “The bottom line is that we’re reaching out to folks who will not come to a traditional church setting for one reason or another. We want to provide a non-traditional church setting where they will feel loved and welcomed.”

Harbor said they offer child care and “a very energetic” kid’s worship for ages K-4th grade with singing and teaching.

“One kid was crying because he didn’t want to leave,” said Harbor with a chuckle. “That’s what we want to see.”

Regular worship includes a live worship band. Everything is live up to the preaching — that is done via internet where they join in with the message Bro. Randy Bostick preaches on the main campus.

The city would take a look at residences on a case-by-case basis with cost to the homeowner being a factor, he said.

The proposed transient vendor ordinance is in response to some concerns that have emerged about sellers coming into the city and setting up in a location such as a parking lot to do business for a limited period. It would tighten the restrictions on such sellers.

The proposed ordinance would limit transient vendors, which are defined as those not having a permanent business location in the city, to operating in I-2 (industrial) zones during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Tents would be limited

Mississippi universities seeking bonds after 2017 brought none Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s eight public universities thought they had a deal with lawmakers for predictable bond funding each year. But the Legislature didn’t do any general borrowing earlier this year. Now, as the universities make their yearly bond request, they’re emphasizing the importance of a yearly money infusion to campus operations.

Higher Education Commissioner Glenn Boyce called on trustees, university presidents

and their supporters to press lawmakers to avoid this year’s outcome as the College Board on Thursday voted to forward university requests for 2018 bond money to the Legislature.

Not only did lawmakers not borrow, they cut maintenance money from regular appropriations as part of broader budget cuts.

“We absolutely are going to need everybody’s advocacy and support to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Boyce said.

After lawmakers failed to pass a bond bill in 2012, they made a threeyear agreement with College Board leaders, promising to borrow a set amount of money each year for universities. That arrangement was supposed to continue over the current fouryear legislative term, but it broke down last spring.

That’s because the yearly bond bill was killed during a dispute over transportation funding between House Speaker Philip Gunn and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves.

for a Sept. 30 commemorative living history event for the Battle of Corinth anniversary. The closures will be on Linden between Fulton Drive and Wenasoga Road and on Fulton Drive between Linden and Waldron between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

A person will man each barricade in order

to allow police, ambulance and fire vehicles through.

The event will “be something similar to what we had at Shiloh for the anniversary, and we had 7,000 people to attend that,” said Shiloh National Military Park Superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “We’re planning for 4,000 to 5,000.”

A lot of thought, research and footwork went into the decision as to how they would format their services and where they would locate their second campus for this outreach, Harbor said.

He said back in the middle of spring, OBC members went in groups to visit some other churches who are hosting services at non-traditional locations.

“We put a lot of legwork into it just trying to learn what works and help our folks get a vision of what we wanted,” said the pastor.

When it came down to choosing a site for their second location, they really liked the TCHS facilities and went through all the channels with the school board to lease the facility on Sunday morn-

ings. The pastor explained that the school can lease to anyone such as wild game suppers, Boy Scouts or in this case, a church.

After four practice runs (soft launches), and no idea how many would come, OBC held its inaugural service at the TCHS campus last Sunday with a little over 300 in attendance, with about a 100 of those being regular OBC members.

“We were really tickled.

I’m sure there were some folks who just came to see what it was about, but we had a lot of comments that people felt welcome and we were grateful for those kind of comments,” said Harbor.

The pastor stressed that the surrounding communities have great churches and their goal is not to take anything away from those congregations.

“We want to try to reach those folks who are just not coming to a traditional church but might join in with a relaxed, non-traditional location. I know of one that meets in a zoo in Cincinnati,” said Harbor.

He said when he arrived in the Crossroads area in 1998, there were two of these types of multi-sites in the U.S. and now there are 4,000.

Of that number, there are 8 million who attend those sites.

“This is how we’re looking at it at Oakland — it’s one church with two locations,” he said.

cans at the animal shelter.”

About 33 cans feeds a large dog for one day, said Doehner.

She said collecting cans is a easy way for local businesses and organizations to help the shelter right from their workplace.

The shelter has also received donations from beneficiary requests.

“People contact us all the time wanting to donate retirement assets from a 401(k) or other pension plan and stocks or appreciated assets,” she said. “We have also received bequests where people can leave all or part of their estate to the shelter.”

A new website recently launched by the shelter offers links to other ways to help including through their Amazon Wish List, where people can purchase from a list of needed items and have the items shipped directly to the shelter.

“The website has been completely revamped and giving to the shelter has never been easier,” she added. “Folks can click the donate button, select

the amount they would like to give, tell us where to spend their money from a dropdown of options and even dedicate the donation in memory or in honor of someone.”

A option allows supporters to automatically select recurring payments on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis.

“Our work would not be possible without our generous community supporters being able to select one of the many easy ways to help us stay open,” said Doehner.

“Donations go to work instantly to help feed and heal hundreds of animals at the shelter.

“Whether you are a longtime supporter or you are donating for the first time, we are so blessed to have people in the community who help us carry on such a worthy mission,” she added.

Doehner said the shelter collects funds from recycled aluminum cans each month.

“Every time you throw away an empty aluminum can, you could be helping save an animal’s life,” she said. “Cans for Pets is an opportunity to turn trash into funds for the shelter.

The program allows the community to drop off their empty aluminum

“Corinth School District teachers and students are to be commended for their work and performance during the 2016-17 school year,” said Superintendent Lee Childress.

Alcorn Testing Director Tammy Johnson echoed Childress.

“We appreciate the dedication from our faculty and support of our parents,” said Johnson.

Of the close to 37,000 statewide kindergarteners, the state average score for the fall test was 502. The average score climbed to 710 on the spring test. The score gain is greater than last year, which grew from 502 in the fall to 703 in the spring.

“Kindergarten teachers are continuing to do a great job helping students build the foundational literacy skills they need to be successful throughout their education,” said Dr. Carey Wright, state superintendent of education. “Reading instruction must remain a major focus through the 3rd grade so that all children complete elementary school with strong reading skills.”

The STAR Early Literacy exam evaluates skills such as the ability to recognize letters and match letters to their sounds and a student’s recognition that print flows from left to right. The exam pro-

duces reports for parents and teachers that detail each child’s early reading skills. Teacher reports also include diagnostic information and instructional plans for every student.

Pre-K students in the state’s Early Learning Collaboratives (ELCs) and other public pre-K classes for four-year-olds also made steady gains on the STAR Early Literacy exam.

The average score among students in ELCs was 585, which exceeded the pre-K end-of-year target score of 498. The average score among four-year-olds in other public pre-K classrooms was 549.

Local individual school scores included: • Alcorn Central Elementary School Fall average: 526, spring average: 719, score gain: 193, test takers: 99 • Biggersville Elementary School (State provides BES funding and support for literacy coach staff members.)

Booneville Man charged with ramming ATV BOONEVILLE — A Booneville man is accused of ramming an ATV with a truck while confronting alleged trespassers.

Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said Kevin Michael, 47, of Booneville was charged with two counts of aggravated assault after he allegedly pursued two individuals on side by side ATV he claimed were trespassing on property he claimed to be leasing.

Michael allegedly rammed the ATV with his truck, causing it to overturn. Both men were transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Booneville and treated for minor injuries.

Tolar noted one of the victims and the suspect are brothers.

Bond for Michael was set at $25,000 on each count.

Bond was revoked for him on a previous indictment for possession of a controlled substance enhanced by possession of a firearm.

In a separate, unrelated case, Teddy Kirk Windham, 42, and Haley Nichole Patten, 29, both of Booneville, were arrested during a traffic stop on County Road 8301 on Aug. 8, said Tolar.

Deputy Taylor Walker made the stop and discovered approximately 22 grams of crystal methamphetamine with a street value of approximately $2,000.

Windham and Patten were each charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, transfer or distribute. Patten was also charged with possession of

drug paraphernalia and two misdemeanor traffic violations.

Bond was set at $5,000 on the felony and $3,500 on the misdemeanors.

Windham was also charged with providing false identification to a law enforcement officer, possession of drug paraphernalia and an unrelated city warrant.

Bond was set at $5,000 on the felony, $2,000 on the misdemeanors and $697 cash on the warrant.

Narcotics investigator Joey Clark is in charge of the case and will present it to the next grand jury.

In a separate, unrelated case, Joshua Stowers, 34, of Baldwyn, was charged with burglary of a commercial building in connection with the burglary of Highway 45 Trailer Sales.

Investigator Roy Ragin used evidence collected at the scene to lead him to potential suspects in the case. The investigation remains open, said Tolar, and more arrests are expected.

Items reported stolen in the burglary include 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch drive Matco impact wrenches with charges, 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch Matco deep well socket sets, a Husquavarna 20 inch chainsaw, a Stihl trimmer, vehicle testing and diagnostic equipment, a Matco 1/2 inch drive 20 inch ractchet with a swivel head and miscellaneous Snap-On toools.

Anyone with information about the stolen property or those involved in the case should call Ragin at 728-2002 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS (8477).

Experts urge safety when viewing eclipse SELMER, Tenn. — A total solar eclipse, when the moon completely covers the sun, will be visible Monday. Tennessee is one of 14 states that will be in the path of totality, a 70 mile-wide path where the sun is completely blocked by the moon.

The Tennessee Department of Health encourages everyone to enjoy this once in a lifetime event, but urges eye protection and common sense safety. ​​‘‘The solar eclipse will be an amazing viewing and learning experience for children and adults, but it’s extremely important to take proper precautions to protect your eyes,’’ said Chief Medical Officer, David Reagan, MD, PhD. ‘‘The sun is so bright that looking directly at it can cause permanent eye damage in seconds.

It is necessary to use proper solar filters, such as the filters in eclipse viewing glasses from reputable manufacturers that

meet the ISO 12312-2 standards, which should be printed on the glasses. The filters must not be scratched or damaged. People can view the sky without using any filters only during the brief period when the sun is hidden by the moon, which lasts at most for 2 minutes and 40 seconds.’’

If you plan to view the eclipse through a camera, you must place a solar filter on the front of the lens. because the lens may concentrate the light, making it unsafe to use eclipse glasses while viewing.

The same is true for viewing through binoculars or a telescope, unless specifically made for solar viewing.

For more information on viewing safety go to https:// eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety, or cdc.gov/features/solareclipse-safety/index.html.

Because parts of Tennessee are in the path of totality during the eclipse, many people are expected to travel here for the event.

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security urges everyone to be safe on the roadways. ‘‘I am excited about tourists visiting our state to experience this once in a lifetime event,” Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner David W. Purkey said. ‘‘The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be working extra shifts to make sure our highways are fully operational and to keep you safe. It is important to keep traffic flowing during the eclipse. We encourage eclipse seekers to attend one of the many events planned across the region and enjoy your stay in Tennessee.”

What’s old, cheap and memorable?

Coca-Cola. I think we can all agree that’s a pretty good brand name, right?

Ever think about why?

It’s not just the billions of ad bucks behind it. It’s all the “k” sounds — three of them in quick, cute, clever secession — not to mention two soft a’s. In other words, Coca-Cola is a name bubbling over with literary devices — alliteration and rhyme.

The two devices a lot of people find tacky today.

“There’s a lot of stigma attached to alliteration,” an ad executive once told me. It’s considered too cheesy to be Lenore proud of. yes. What advertisSkenazy ingOh, copywriter could possibly Columnist be proud of Tony the Tiger?

Hamburger Helper? Wonder Woman? Or that silly little chain Jamba Juice, started by some guys who came from Dunkin’ Donuts, which itself competes with Krispy Kreme?

The fact is that alliteration is an amazing memory aid, possibly the oldest on earth.

“Beowulf” was written alliteratively about 1,000 years ago — “Beowulf bode in the burg of the Scyldings” — before poetry even rhymed. And now comes new evidence of just how powerful alliteration is.

“Our cognitive system is sensitive to overlapping sounds,” said R. Brooke Lea, a psychology professor at Macalester College, where he studies, among other things, how the mind retrieves words and ideas. He and his colleagues came up with a way to study that “sound sensitivity.” They buried a simple word — “barn” — in a free-verse poem. Several lines later, the experiment participants were asked whether “barn” was part of the poem.

What happened, according to Lea, is that one sound reminded them of another and brought the whole thought right back. In other words, a simple, familiar sound worked recall magic.

The job of advertising is to make us recall something with the least possible effort: “I’m hungry. Where should I go? McDonald’s? I’m lovin’ it! With a Coke maybe? Open happiness!” Those slogans have won through sheer repetition, not inherent memorability. That’s because alliteration, with all its recall power, has fallen out of favor.

People still tend to associate alliteration with childish things, maybe because of all those nursery rhymes — “Wee Willie Winkie,” “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” etc. But the fact that those ditties have lasted centuries does not prove alliteration is for kids. It only proves how universal and catchy it is — and how long it stays in the brain. (Quick, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?)

We’re surrounded by an entirely new media landscape, from Snapchat to Facebook to Slack. But maybe all we really need is a good old-fashioned super-simple slogan, awesome in its allegiance to alliteration.

And don’t forget to add in rhymes, because that almost-as-ancient device works the same way alliteration does, making a name or slogan easier to remember. “It takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’,” for example. Lea says there’s even more concrete evidence of rhyme’s power. Students given a list of unfamiliar aphorisms that rhymed (”Woes unite foes”) rated them far more “true” than students given sayings that didn’t rhyme (”Troubles unite foes”).

That’s because rhymes go down easy, said the professor. “And stuff that’s easy to process, you think is right.” This could even be why people teach their kids “stranger danger,” even though the vast majority of crimes against kids are committed by people they know.

So remember: Should you seek to sell, alliterate like crazy.

And rhyme.

The Breitbart presidency

If Van Jones was right that a moving tribute to the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL in a speech to Congress earlier this year was the moment Donald Trump became president, Trump’s news conference on Tuesday was the moment he became a Breitbart contributing editor.

Charlottesville has been a diminishing event for President Trump. He has been unable to summon the moral authority of his office, even though this wasn’t a difficult test.

It doesn’t take political skill or crisis-management ability to show largeness of heart. Future historians will marvel that one of the most damaging events in the early Trump administration came in a botched response to a neo-Nazi rally. Even Jake and Elwood Blues could have gotten this right.

Over the past few days, Trump hasn’t spoken as the leader of the country, or even leader of one party, but as a leader of an inflamed faction. This is why it was almost unthinkable that he would give a unifying talk, as any other president would, at the funeral of Heather Heyer, the young

campaign when sundry haters, trolls and bots provided air cover. So he wants to do the minimum necessary to distance himself from it and the maximum possible to associate himself with it.

This would explain his shockingly conflicted reaction to Charlottesville.

Some of his sentiments -including the contention that there were “fine people” protesting alongside the Nazis -- would be outrageous enough if uttered by the proverbial blogger rather than a man standing in front of a lectern affixed with the presidential seal of the United States.

Trump’s news conference was a tour de force of “whataboutism,” one of the most important rhetorical tools of the pro-Trump internet.

The “alt-right” marched on Charlottesville? Well, what about the “alt-left”? Robert E. Lee’s statue is coming down? Well, what about George Washington? It’s not that these aren’t legitimate points. They are. But they were used, as whataboutism so often is, as cover for Trump’s failings and to obscure rather than sharpen distinctions.

Charlottesville highlights

how the problem with Trump is not the crudity of his expression. This, at times, can be part of his charm and makes him a distinctively powerful communicator. It’s the crudity of thought and feeling. These qualities can’t be dismissed in an office whose occupant is supposed to represent the nation.

The media coverage of Trump has been consistently catastrophist since January. Whenever there is an outrage, pundits talk as though it’s the end of his presidency. This is too dire. So long as Trump has the right enemies, namely the mainstream media and PC culture, there is a floor to his political support. But he is slip-sliding toward a crisis of legitimacy. This is the significance of the dissolution of his business councils. It’s not unthinkable, should this trajectory continue, that a time could come when some Republican officeholders refuse to visit the White House.

If they wouldn’t feel comfortable at the Breitbart editorial offices, why would they want to show up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

America’s second Civil War

“They had found a leader, Robert E. Lee — and what a leader! ... No military leader since Napoleon has aroused such enthusiastic devotion among troops as did Lee when he reviewed them on his horse Traveller.”

So wrote Samuel Eliot Morison in his magisterial “The Oxford History of the American People” in 1965.

First in his class at West Point, hero of the Mexican War, Lee was the man to whom President Lincoln turned to lead his army. But when Virginia seceded, Lee would not lift up his sword against his own people, and chose to defend his home state rather than wage war upon her.

This veneration of Lee, wrote Richard Weaver, “appears in the saying attributed to a Confederate soldier, ‘The rest of us may have ... descended from monkeys, but it took a God to make Marse Robert.’”

Growing up after World War II, this was accepted history.

Yet, on the militant left today, the name Lee evokes raw hatred and howls of “racist and traitor.” A clamor has arisen to have all statues of him and all Confederate soldiers and statesmen pulled down from their pedestals and put in museums or tossed onto trash piles.

What has changed since 1965?

It is not history. There have been no great new discoveries about Lee. What has changed is America herself. She is not

Trump’s Rich sensibility is Lowry highly unusual for a National Review politician -let alone for the leader of the free world -- but very familiar from the internet or social media. As his Trump Tower news conference in the wake of Charlottesville showed, his level of argument is at the level of a good Breitbart blogger. He would absolutely kill it in the comments section of a rightwing website or trolling a journalist.

Moreover, it appears that he’s happy for his presidency — to paraphrase former adviser Steve Bannon’s notorious description of Breitbart — to be a platform for the “alt-right” and in exactly the same sense.

Trump doesn’t want his administration actually to be “alt-right.” But he is keenly aware of the political energy in the fever swamp. He learned this during his time as a birther and during a

the same country. We have passed through a great social, cultural and moral revoluPatrick tion that has Buchanan left us irretrievably diColumnist vided on separate shores.

And the politicians are in panic.

Two years ago, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called the giant statues of Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson on Richmond’s Monument Avenue “parts of our heritage.” After Charlottesville, New York-born-and-bred McAuliffe, entertaining higher ambitions, went full scalawag, demanding the statues be pulled down as “flashpoints for hatred, division, and violence.”

Who hates the statues, Terry? Who’s going to cause the violence? Answer: The Democratic left whom Terry must now appease.

In Durham, North Carolina, our Taliban smashed the statue of a Confederate soldier. Near the entrance of Duke University Chapel, a statue of Lee has been defaced, the nose broken off.

Wednesday at dawn, Baltimore carried out a cultural cleansing by taking down statues of Lee and Maryland Chief Justice Roger Taney who wrote the Dred Scott decision and opposed Lincoln’s suspension of the right of habeas corpus.

For there are 10 Confederates in Statuary Hall in

the Capitol, among them Lee, Georgia’s Alexander Stephens, vice president to Jefferson Davis, and Davis himself. The Black Caucus wants them gone.

Mount Rushmore-sized carvings of Lee, Jackson and Davis are on Stone Mountain, Georgia. Are they to be blasted off?

There are countless universities, colleges and high schools like Washington & Lee named for Confederate statesmen and soldiers.

Across the Potomac from D.C. are Jefferson Davis Highway and Leesburg Pike to Leesburg itself, 25 miles north. Are all highways, streets, towns and counties named for Confederates to be renamed? What about Fort Bragg?

On every Civil War battlefield, there are monuments to the Southern fallen. Gettysburg has hundreds of memorials, statues and markers. But if, as the left insists we accept, the Confederates were traitors trying to tear America apart to preserve an evil system, upon what ground do Democrats stand to resist the radical left’s demands?

What do we do with those battlefields where Confederates were victorious: Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville?

“Where does this all end?”

President Trump asked.

It doesn’t. Not until America’s histories and biographies are burned and new texts written to Nazify Lee, Jackson, Davis and all the rest, will a newly in-

doctrinated generation of Americans accede to this demand to tear down and destroy what their fathers cherished.

And once all the Confederates are gone, one must begin with the explorers, and then the slave owners like Presidents Washington, Jefferson and Madison, who seceded from slavefree Britain. White supremacists all.

Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay of Kentucky and John Calhoun must swiftly follow.

Then there are all those segregationists. From 1865 to 1965, virtually all of the great Southern senators were white supremacists.

In the first half of the 20th century, Woodrow Wilson and FDR carried all 11 states of a rigidly segregationist South all six times they ran, and FDR rewarded Dixie by putting a Klansman on the Supreme Court.

While easy for Republicans to wash their hands of such odious elements as Nazis in Charlottesville, will they take up the defense of the monuments and statues that have defined our history, or capitulate to the icon-smashers?

In this Second American Civil War, whose side are you on?

Caterpillar employees help Boys & Girls Club For the Daily Corinthian

Several employees from the Caterpillar facilities in Mississippi recently spent time at one of the United Way supported agencies — the Boys & Girls Club in Corinth — to help prepare the building for the return of students.

The team repainted the gym, reorganized fitness equipment and repaired various items. Caterpillar also donated the materials necessary to make these and future improvements.

Caterpillar employee Keith Hardwick joined co-workers in the volunteer effort. “It was a privilege to participate in a Caterpillar community service event supporting the United Way partnership with the Boys & Girls Club in Corinth,� said Hardwick. “The club offers a positive place for a young person to go that promotes development, learning and having fun with others, knowing that someone cares. I grew up participating in a very similar youth center on a military base, and I recognize that it makes a difference.�

Information from Caterpillar explained the products and customer solutions they deliver every day help build a better world. At the same time, their employees work to build better communities by donating their time and resources to improve the health and welfare of others.

Since the 1950s, Caterpillar employees join together annually to support local United Way chapters and their partner agencies across the United States. These contributions are also matched by the Caterpillar Foundation.

Caterpillar has supported United Way for more than 60 years because their mission and

work aligns with Caterpillar’s values: ensuring the health, welfare and economic stability of communities where they live and work. Caterpillar employees in Mississippi proudly support the Corinth, Northeast Mississippi and West Tennessee chapters of United Way. For more than 90 years, Caterpillar Inc. has been making sustainable progress possible and driving positive change on every continent.

Customers turn to Caterpillar to help them develop infrastructure, energy and natural resource assets.

Mayor calls for removal of Lee statue Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — The mayor of Charlottesville on Friday called for an emergency meeting of state lawmakers to confirm the city’s right to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, a request that was swiftly rejected by the state’s governor.

Mayor Mike Signer said recent clashes over race and the Confederacy had turned “equestrian statues into lightning rods� and urged Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe to convene a special session of the General Assembly.

Signer’s statement came nearly a week after white supremacists descended on the city and violently clashed with counter protesters. One woman was killed Saturday when a car plowed into a crowd of people there to condemn what is believed to be the largest gathering of white supremacists in a decade. “We can, and we must, respond by denying the Nazis and the KKK and the so-called alt-right the twisted totem they seek,�

Signer said in a statement.

Charlottesville’s plans to remove the statue are in the midst of a legal challenge. A law passed in 1998 forbids local governments from removing or damaging war monuments, but there remains legal ambiguity about whether that applies to statues erected before the law was passed.

McAuliffe spokesman Brian Coy said the governor won’t call a special session while the issue is being decided in court. “The governor hopes the court will rule in the city’s favor soon and encourages Mayor Signer to focus on that important

litigation rather than a redundant emergency session,� Coy said.

McAuliffe did sign an executive order Friday afternoon temporarily banning any public demonstrations at a monument in Richmond. Unlike the Charlottesville statue that sits in a city park, the Richmond monument to Lee is in the middle of a traffic circle on Monument Avenue, an iconic boulevard with heavy traffic.

Also Friday, the mother of a woman who was killed while protesting the rally said that she won’t talk to President Donald Trump because of comments he made after her daughter’s death.

Speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning Ameri-

ca,� Susan Bro said she initially missed the first few calls to her from the White House. But she said “now I will not� talk to the president af-

ter a news conference in which Trump equated violence by white supremacists at the rally with violence by those protesting the rally.

McNairy County native Ken Beene, FNP, has opened a medical clinic in Eastview, Tenn.

McNairy native opens clinic (The following story was compiled by Independent Appeal Assistant Editor Steve Beavers. It is being reprinted with permission.)

EASTVIEW, Tenn. — Ken Beene knows McNairy County.

The family nurse practitioner understands the place he was reared and is committed to helping sick people get well.

“I have lived in several different places, but McNairy County is home,” said Beene, a 1984 McNairy Central High School graduate.

Beene opened Eastview Medical Clinic in July. The clinic is located where The Tanning Zone once called home.

“I want to work here until I retire,” said the Bethel Springs native. “I intend to be here for a long time and I want my staff to be here with me.”

Eastview Mayor Jesse Robbins has wanted a clinic in the town for a while.

“This is going to be good for the community,” said Robbins. “Ken is a good fellow and he will do a good job.”

The clinic staff consists of Licensed Practi-

cal Nurses, Vicky Crowe and Sally Leonhard and Medical Assistant/Office Manager Michelle Risner.

“I have known Ken most of my life,” said Crowe. “He is good at what he does.”

Beene’s goal is to provide the community with a local place for basic healthcare.

“This part of the county needs a clinic,” he said.

Beene – who obtained his Associate Degree in Nursing at Union University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Memphis — was drawn to Eastview due to its recent growth.

“Eastview is a growing place and great location,” he said.

The clinic has three patient rooms and a triage area.

“You never know what is going to walk through the doors,” said Beene.

“We are prepared to see all ages from two and up.”

Seeing patients in a timely manner is the intention of the clinic staff.

“Folks who are sick do not want to sit for an hour to see someone,” said Beene, who is hus-

band to Lori and father to Austin and Elizabeth.

“We want to get patients in and send them home so they can rest.”

Eastview Medical Clinic offers primary care, sports physicals, testosterone replacement therapy and is able to do lab work.

The clinic also takes private pay patients and walk-ins.

“The first few weeks have been awesome,” said Risner. “I can’t wait to see what the rest of it is going to be like.”

Been credits longtime McNairy County physician Dr. Jim Smith for his help in getting the clinic off the ground.

“Dr. Jim has been a great help in assisting us with a lot of equipment,” said Beene. “We might have to extend those hours during flu season,” said Beene.

“Right now, we are moved in and ready to do our thing.”

(Eastview Medical Clinic is open MondayThursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. The clinic is located at 7430 Highway 45 South in Eastview.)

GOP anxieties about Trump burst into open Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s racially fraught comments about a deadly neo-Nazi rally have thrust into the open some Republicans’ deeply held doubts about his competency and temperament, in an extraordinary public airing of worries and grievances about a sitting president by his own party.

Behind the high-profile denunciations voiced this week by GOP senators once considered Trump allies, scores of other, influential Repub-

licans began to express grave concerns about the state of the Trump presidency.

In interviews with Associated Press reporters across nine states, 25 Republican politicians, party officials, advisers and donors expressed worries about whether Trump has the self-discipline and capability to govern successfully.

Eric Cantor, the former House majority leader from Virginia, said Republicans signaled this week that Trump’s handling of the Charlottesville protests

was “beyond just a distraction.”

“It was a turning point in terms of Republicans being able to say, we’re not even going to get close to that,” Cantor said.

Chip Lake, a Georgiabased GOP operative who did not vote for Trump in the general election, raised the prospect of the president leaving office before his term is up.

“It’s impossible to see a scenario under which this is sustainable under a four-year period,” Lake said.

“A rambling wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer.”

Frederick Page Bauer, 84, died at his home in the presence of his family on Friday, Aug. 18, 2017, following a brief illness.

Mr. Bauer was born in Atlanta and grew up in Rome, Georgia, attending Rome High School. He graduated from Georgia Tech in 1956 with a degree in industrial engineering and was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity.

Three hours late for their blind date, he would eventually marry Mildred Yvonne Mitchem on June 16, 1957, in Atlanta. They eventually moved to Mendenhall in 1965 and were members of First Baptist Church. He was employed by Universal Manufacturing (later Magnatek) as director of quality control, retiring after 30 years of service. He holds numerous patents for ideas to improve efficiency and production in the process of manufacturing ballasts for fluorescent lighting.

In his spare time he enjoyed teaching computer science to adults at the Simpson County Vo-Tech Center, tutoring teenagers in math and science, as well as volunteering as a voting precinct worker. In retirement he became a failure analysis expert witness for cases involving fluorescent light ballasts.

Throughout the years, Fred was a

‘Free speech rally’ cut short after massive counterprotest

BY STEVE LEBLANC Associated Press

BOSTON — Thousands of demonstrators chanting anti-Nazi slogans converged Saturday on downtown Boston in a boisterous repudiation of white nationalism, dwarfing a small group of conservatives who cut short their planned “free speech rally” a week after a gathering of hate groups led to bloodshed in Virginia.

Counterprotesters marched through the city to historic Boston Common, where many gathered near a bandstand abandoned early by conservatives who had planned to deliver a series of speeches. Police vans later escorted the conservatives out of the area, and angry counterprotesters scuffled with armed officers trying to maintain order.

Members of the Black Lives Matter movement later protested on the Common, where a Confederate flag was burned and protesters pounded on the sides of a police vehicle.

Later Saturday afternoon, Boston’s police

department tweeted that protesters were throwing bottles, urine and rocks at them and asked people publicly to refrain from doing so.

Boston Commissioner William Evans said 27 arrests were made — mostly for disorderly conduct while some were for assaulting police officers. Officials said the rallies drew about 40,000 people.

Trump applauded the people in Boston who he said were “speaking out” against bigotry and hate.

Trump added in a Twitter message that “Our country will soon come together as one!”

Organizers of the event, which had been billed as a “Free Speech Rally,” had publicly distanced themselves from the neoNazis, white supremacists and others who fomented violence in Charlottesville on Aug. 12. A woman was killed at that Unite the Right rally, and many others were injured, when a car plowed into counterdemonstrators.

Opponents feared that white nationalists might show up in Boston any-

way, raising the specter of ugly confrontations in the first potentially large and racially charged gathering in a major U.S. city since Charlottesville.

One of the planned speakers of the conservative activist rally said the event “fell apart.”

Congressional candidate Samson Racioppi, who was among several slated to speak, told WCVB-TV that he didn’t realize “how unplanned of an event it was going to be.”

Some counterprotesters dressed entirely in black and wore bandannas over their faces. They chanted anti-Nazi and anti-fascism slogans, and waved signs that said: “Make Nazis Afraid Again,” ‘‘Love your neighbor,” ‘‘Resist fascism” and “Hate never made U.S. great.” Others carried a large banner that read: “SMASH WHITE SUPREMACY.” Chris Hood, a free speech rally attendee from Dorchester, said people were unfairly making it seem like the rally was going to be “a white supremacist Klan rally.”

Duke University removes Lee statue DURHAM, N.C. — Duke University removed a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee early Saturday after it was vandalized amid a national debate about monuments to the Confederacy.

The university said it removed the carved limestone likeness before dawn from the entryway to Duke Chapel, where it stood among 10 historical figures. Officials discovered early Thursday that the statue’s face had been gouged and scarred and that part of the nose is missing.

Another statue of Lee, the top Confederate general during the Civil War, was the focus of the violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned deadly a week ago.

Duke University President Vincent Price said in a letter to the campus community that he consulted with faculty, staff, students and alumni before deciding to remove the statue.

“I took this course of action to protect Duke Chapel, to ensure the vital safety of students and community members who worship there, and above all to express the deep and abiding values of our university,” Price said in the letter.

Durham has been a focal point in the debate over Confederate statues after protesters tore down a bronze Confederate soldier in front of a government building downtown on Monday.

Eight people face charges including rioting and damaging property. Days later, hundreds marched through Durham in a largely peaceful demonstration against racism before an impromptu rally at the stone pedestal where the statue stood.

Solar specs, viewer are must for eclipse CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Solar glasses are a must for safe viewing of Monday’s total solar eclipse, the first to span coast to U.S. coast in 99 years.

And parents beware: Eye doctors urge strict adult supervision for eclipse watchers under 16 years old.

There should be absolutely no peeking without eclipse glasses or other certified filters except during the two minutes or so when the moon completely blots out the sun, called totality.

That’s the only time it’s safe to view the eclipse without protection. When totality is ending, then it’s time to put them back on.

Totality means 100 percent of the sun is covered. That will occur only along a narrow strip stretching from Oregon, through the Midwestern plains, down to South Carolina. The rest of the U.S. gets a partial eclipse that extends into Canada and to the top of South America.

Wherever there’s only a partial eclipse — you need to keep those solar specs on the whole time.

There are other options if you don’t have eclipse glasses. You can look indirectly with a pinhole projector that you can make yourself. NASA has a number of designs on its website, including one made with a cereal box . Or grab a kitchen colander — that casts images of the eclipsed sun onto a screen at least 3 feet away.

What can happen when you look directly at the sun? You’re essen-

tially cooking your retina, the delicate, light-sensitive tissue deep inside the eyeball. Solar radiation can kill those cells.

Hours can pass before you realize the extent of the damage.

Seconds are enough for retinal sunburn. And unlike with the skin, you can’t feel it. The damage can be temporary or permanent.

Stuck swimmer turns to Facebook for help EPPING, N.H. — A New Hampshire woman who became stuck in a swimming pool after the ladder broke turned to Facebook to ask for help getting out.

Sixty-one-year-old Leslie Kahn was swimming in her pool Aug. 11 when the ladder broke, leaving her stranded. She said she didn’t have the strength to pull herself.

No one else was home and her cellphone was inside.

She used a pool pole to drag the chair her iPad was on and posted in a community Facebook page, asking for help.

She said she labeled the post “911” to get people’s attention.

A woman who lived nearby showed up, followed by police and a neighbor.

Kahn, a breast cancer survivor, told WMUR-TV that sometimes you help others and other times, you ask for help.

Stabbing suspects returned to Chicago CHICAGO — Two employees of elite universities charged in the fatal stabbing of a 26-year-old hair stylist were returned to Chicago early Saturday to face charges of first-degree murder in the brutal killing.

Chicago police escorted fired Northwestern University professor Wyndham Lathem, 43, and Oxford University financial officer Andrew Warren, 56, from Northern California, where they surrendered peacefully on Aug. 4 after an eight-day, nationwide manhunt. Detectives questioned the men Saturday. They could appear in court as early as today.

The men are accused of killing Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau, a Michigan native who had been living in Chicago, last month in Lathem’s high-rise Chicago condo.

Chicago police have said Cornell-Duranleau suffered more than 40 stab wounds, including “mutilations,” to his upper body. Authorities say the attack was so violent the blade of the knife they believe was used was broken.

They found CornellDuranleau’s body July 27 after the building’s front desk received an anonymous call that a crime had occurred on the 10th floor. He had been dead more than 12 hours.

By then, authorities say Lathem and Warren had fled the city. According to autopsy results released Friday by the Cook County medical examiner’s office, Cornell-Duranleau had methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death.

Trump to skip Kennedy program BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — In a break with tradition, President Donald Trump and the first lady decided not to participate in events for this year’s Kennedy Center Honors arts awards so honorees can celebrate “without any political distraction,” the White

House announced Saturday.

The Kennedy Center said it respected Trump’s decision and the show will go on.

Past presidents and first ladies traditionally host a White House reception in the hours before the Kennedy Center gala, which they would then watch from seats high above the stage.

This year’s honors are to be awarded on Dec. 3.

The Trumps reached their decision Friday, said a White House official who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

It was made the same day that the entire membership of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities resigned to protest Trump’s comments about last weekend’s demonstrations by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia. The president has blamed “many sides” for the violence that left an antiracism activist dead.

Trump has had a long and contentious relationship with the arts world and some Kennedy Center honorees, who are being recognized for lifetime achievement in their fields, already had said they would not attend the White House reception.

One honoree, television writer and producer Norman Lear, had also questioned whether Trump would want to attend the gala, “given his indifference or worse regarding the arts and humanities.”

Trump has recommended defunding the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Baby recovering from heart surgery NETTLETON — A Mississippi baby is home after having open-heart surgery to correct some birth defects. She faces another surgery in the coming months.

Malaysia Hills is 2 months old, and her grandmother, Minnie Moore, says the family considers her “our little miracle.”

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported that Chinny Moore Hills, 35, of Nettleton had a difficult pregnancy. Malaysia was diagnosed with pneumonia soon after being born. After her breathing problems continued, doctors found multiple defects in her heart.

When she was 2 weeks old, Malaysia underwent surgery at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Doctors say she will need surgery again when she’s about 4 months old.

Dr. Umar Boston led the surgical team and says Malaysia’s mother has been “fantastic” in helping care for her baby.

Utility to purchase facility’s electricity MERIDIAN — Regulators are approving plans for Mississippi Power Co. to buy electricity from a solar facility to be built in eastern Mississippi.

The Mississippi Public Service Commission on Thursday voted for the $100 million solar farm to be built in Lauderdale

County by Silicon Ranch of Nashville, Tennessee.

A unit of Atlantabased Southern Co., Mississippi Power will buy all the power from the facility for 25 years.

The 570,000 solar panels will be able to supply 53 megawatts of electricity at peak, enough to power about 8,000 homes. Operation is projected to start

by December 2019.

Mississippi Power says its 160 megawatt solar capacity will be the largest of any Mississippi utility.

Officials uprooting big marijuana farm PRENTISS — Investigators are remaining through the weekend at the site of what they’re calling the largest outdoor marijuana farm found in Mississippi since the 1980s.

Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director John Dowdy said agents found a patch with 5,000 more plants at the Jefferson Davis County site on Friday, bringing the total found to 20,000.

An underground bunker and generators were also found, but authorities haven’t identified any suspected farmers.

With each mature plant yielding a pound of processed marijuana, Dowdy says all the marijuana at the site near Prentiss could have sold for more than $20 million.

Dowdy says it’s a “huge task” to find, count and destroy so many marijuana plants.

Helping the bureau are other law enforcement agencies, local and

state government and a private construction company.

Sheriff says third escapee caught CLARKSDALE — A third escapee from a Mississippi Delta jail has been recaptured.

The Coahoma County Sheriff’s Office says officers caught LeAndrew Booker on Friday. The Clarksdale man was being held for burglary when he and three others escaped last week.

Officials had earlier recaptured Cordarius Thomas of Clarksdale, initially jailed on charges of assault and burglary, and Percy Bryant of Clarksdale, initially jailed for aggravated assault.

Marquis Stevenson of Jonestown, who is accused of murder and statutory rape, is the only one of the inmates still being sought.

The sheriff’s office says the four were discovered missing during a routine check in the early hours of Aug. 11.

Attack exposes new campus threat BOSTON — On college campuses, white supremacists and other far-right extremist groups see fertile ground to spread their messages and recruit followers. But for many colleges, last weekend’s deadly attack at a rally near the University of Virginia exposed a new threat.

The rally in Charlottesville left universities across the U.S. bracing for more clashes between extremists and the protesters who oppose them. It also left schools in an increasingly tight bind as they try to ensure campus safety in the face of recruiting efforts by white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups that have escalated beyond campus flyers and online messages, and to balance that with freedom of speech.

“People are getting more and more willing to go to the streets,” said Sue Riseling, a former police chief at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who is executive director of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators. “It seems like what might have been a little in the shadows has come into full sun, and now it’s out there and exposed for everyone to see.”

On the eve of Saturday’s rally, young white men wearing khakis and white polo shirts marched through the University of Virginia’s campus, holding torches as they chanted racist and anti-Semitic slogans.

The next morning, many donned helmets and shields and clashed with counter-protesters before a car drove into the crowd, killing a 32-yearold woman and injuring 19 others.

Walmart’s online sales soar as it seeks to catch Amazon

By JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Walmart’s recent spending spree to try to catch up to Amazon seems to be paying off.

The world’s largest retailer said Thursday that online sales soared 60 percent in the past three months as people shopped more at Walmart.com, Jet.com and its other websites.

Walmart had paid more than $3 billion for Jet last year, and since then picked up smaller players including ModCloth and Moosejaw. It is also expanding online grocery ordering to more stores, and is adding giant automated kiosks to 100 locations so customers can pick up online orders without waiting for employees to fetch them.

Other traditional retailers are seeing online gains, too: Walmart’s report came a day after Target said its online sales jumped 32 percent in its most recent quar-

ter.

But Amazon still poses a threat. The e-commerce giant is in the process of buying organic grocer Whole Foods in a $13.7 billion deal. That could shake up the U.S. grocery business, where Walmart currently holds the largest share.

Greg Foran, who runs Walmart’s U.S. stores, said Amazon is a “strong competitor” and that Walmart will continue with its strategy and keep an eye on the rival.

“I don’t know what they’re going to do,” Foran said, referring to Amazon. He added that the competition has pushed Walmart to make changes that has lifted its performance.

Walmart said sales rose 1.8 percent at U.S. stores open at least a year, the 12th straight quarter of growth for that measure. Shopper traffic rose 1.3 percent.

Sales at its international division fell 1 percent.

Its profit, however, was

Gulf of Mexico oil lease sale: $121M in highest offers Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Oil and gas companies offered $121.1 million in high bids on 90 Gulf of Mexico tracts at a federal lease sale.

Wednesday’s sale was the first since 1983 to offer every available tract in the Gulf.

Companies bid on far fewer tracts than in March, when only those off Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama were offered. That’s generally seen as the best part of the Gulf for drilling.

In March, 28 oil companies offered $274.8 million in high bids on 163 tracts. The government rejected 10 bids as too low, accepting $264 million in bids.

The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Manage-

ment says 27 companies submitted 99 bids Wednesday. Nine tracts got two bids each.

Forty-two of the tracts are at least 5,249 feet under water.

hurt by costs related to boosting its online operations. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. earned $2.9 billion, or 96 cents per share, in the three months ending July 31, down from $3.77 billion, or $1.21 per share, in the same period a year ago.

Stripping out certain items, earnings were $1.08 per share. That was a penny better than what analysts polled by Zacks expected.

The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company

said revenue rose 2 percent to $123.36 billion.

The company raised the low end of its fullyear earnings forecast by 10 cents. It now expects adjusted earnings between $4.30 and $4.40 per share for the year.

It predicts third-quarter earnings of 90 cents to 98 cents per share.

Analysts polled by FactSet predicted full-year earnings of $4.36 per share and third-quarter earnings of 97 cents per share.

Husband, wife disagree on the meaning of family

DEAR ABBY: I have been married five years and have two children under 3.

I grew up in a large ItalianAmerican family; my husband did not.

He doesn’t understand the closeness I have with my family.

To him, “family” is just the four Abigail of us.

Van Buren He doesn’t comprehend Dear Abby the need for my family to get together all the time and feels that during holidays it should only be us.

When they are just trying to help us out, he thinks my family is overbearing.

My husband travels a lot for work and gets upset if my family shows up to help out while he’s away.

Any time the topic of family comes up, we have an argument.

He doesn’t believe in divorce and refuses to go to counseling.

It is causing a strain in our marriage, and I don’t know what to do. Please help. -- BETWEEN A ROCK AND A FAMILY DEAR BETWEEN: You obviously married someone with very different values than your

own.

Your husband’s attitude seems unusually controlling.

That he would object if your family comes around in his absence is troubling, because it appears he is deliberately trying to isolate you.

That he refuses to get counseling doesn’t mean you shouldn’t avail yourself of it. It may help you to arrive at a compromise that will satisfy both of you.

However, if it doesn’t, you may have some important decisions to make about your future, and counseling can help you do that with a clear head.

Then, whether or not your husband believes in divorce will be less important than what YOU think.

DEAR ABBY: I have been taking tap dance lessons for the last five years.

It’s a class of adults with a broad range of age and experience, which is part of what makes it so much fun. We put on a couple of shows and recitals a year.

I have an issue with a fellow student, and it bothers me to the point that I’m thinking of dropping out.

“Marguerite” is a ham.

She adds lots of extra flourishes, head snaps, jumps and kicks that aren’t in the choreography.

She mugs shamelessly for the crowd, and it comes across as more burlesque than tap.

We have spoken to our instructor twice about it, but Marguerite is worse than ever.

I hate to quit an activity I love, but I’m embarrassed by Marguerite.

It’s disheartening to dance the routine as we’ve been taught, only to be upstaged by this woman’s antics.

I don’t fault her for her stage presence.

I do have trouble with her over-the-top hamminess.

I just wanted to dance, not compete for the limelight. Am I being petty? -- BROADWAY BABY IN TEXAS DEAR BROADWAY BABY: I don’t think you’re being petty.

And if others in the class agree with you, get them together and talk to your instructor about it again.

Nobody likes being upstaged, and if Marguerite can’t be convinced to conform her style to the rest of the troupe, then perhaps you all might be happier if she danced a solo.

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 have the plan, the focus, the stamina to get where you want to go. This is the time for action.

The best part about it is that you don’t even have to clear a path.

The open road is your invitation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your willingness to try new things even when you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t have a knack for it and don’t know a soul is to be commended. Risk embarrassment, gain confidence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The idea that comes to you is like a new arrangement of your highest thoughts. More of a remembrance than a revelation, it’s gently leading you in a direction that’s so right for you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll get a few predictably pleasant hours before the new challenges and influences come along to add spice to your future. You savor the sameness of things most when you know it’s about to change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most people say that the honest way is best, yet dishonesty is the norm. Radical honestly would be in fact cruel in many situations.

Lead with compassion. There’s a way to be kind and also truthful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You are part of a team, and don’t forget it. The moment you consider how others will be affected by what you are offering, creating or doing is the moment you go to the next level of success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your sign is uniquely peace-oriented and conflict-averse. It’s as if you were born knowing that often the way to win the fight is not to fight in the first place. Your pacifism will be good for the world today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Simplicity is more than a style; it’s also a defense against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Life gets better when you resist excess and recognize the easy way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The old ways are still fun, but they come at too high a cost.

Also, they don’t fit the image of who you want to be. So you’ll change what you do for fun -not so hard once you decide.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re faithful to your principles yet not so arrogant as to believe that yours is the only correct way. This flexibility of mind will serve you well today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The difference between what you want and what you need can be a lot. You’re willing to look at this reasonably. You may find great freedom in closing that gap by wanting less.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Some of your people are so inconveniently located that just getting the timing right and making the travel effort to go see them is a gift in and of itself.

But you still have to bring a gift.

You’ll hit all the right social notes today.

Hillandale hosts 2017 United Way tournament

BY KENT MOHUNDRO

kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

The United Way was the big winner on Friday as KimberlyClark hosted golf teams from companies and corporations from six states at Hillandale Country Club.

With donations from corporations, businesses and individuals, this year not only was the tournament a success but set a new yearly record by collecting just under $23,000.

“This is huge for us here locally,” said spokesman Don Perkins. “For the last eight years now, we’ve conducted this golf event to raise money for the local chapter of the United Way where all kinds of local charities will reap the benefits.”

Kimberly-Clark employees are true believers in the purpose and causes of the United Way and, according to a press release, have been major players in the United Way campaign by participating as donors.

By way of comparison, last year’s fundraising event raised a then-record $17,900, but this year far exceeded anyone’s imagination. In the week leading up to the golf fundraiser at Hillandale, the local branch of the United Way was on track to top the $19,000 mark, but passed that goal with ease.

“We have a team at KimberlyClark that works hard on this on a yearly basis, and I couldn’t be prouder of their efforts or the results that come from them,” Perkins said “At both the Professional plant and the Mill (Kimberly-Clark’s two physical plants), we have philanthropists and good stewards that truly believe in helping worthy causes.”

Friday’s golfing event at Hillandale consisted of 22 fourperson teams in scramble style

play. There were prizes in five different flights, along with closest to the hole on Hillandale’s five par 3s and longest drives on the par 5s.

Local sponsor Tull Brothers was the overall flight winner carding an 18-under par.

Other individual flight winners were Ronnie and Jake Fowler along with Vince and Merry Overholt who finished in 15-under.

The second flight winner was

Team Headrick at 12-under, followed by flight three winner Team Vinals with a nine-under and flight four winner Team Casey, which carded a four under total.

“Everything went as smoothly as possible, and everyone had a great time supporting a worthy cause,” Kimberly-Clark plant manager Vince Overholt said. “We finished the event in Please see UNITED | 11A

The Warriors will host the top-5 ranked Golden Wave at Warrior Stadium II on Friday, a game that will serve as the Daily Corinthian feature game of the week.

Corinth falls to Red Raiders

Walnut takes care of business

The Warriors had high hopes heading into this season opening contest but succumbed to over 300 first-half passing yards from Shannon quarterback Jordan Gilleylen as the Red Raiders won 28-14.

The talented junior torched the CHS secondary for three scores including an 89-yarder to wideout Dallas McGaughy in the opening frame.

To their credit, Corinth bounced back with a first quarter score of their own as Zack Patterson returned the Shannon kickoff 90 yards to the house. Michael Baugus added the first of his two PAT kicks to cut the Raider lead to 14-7.

Patterson added a 45-yard scoring run in the third for the final margin.

“We’re much better than what we showed out there last night,” said head coach Todd Lowery, “and we intend to

The Wildcats were workmanlike in their season-opener as junior QB Kevin Hurley and running back Wesley Cox each scored a pair of rushing touchdowns.

“Ashland was very athletic with a big line but I thought our line and running game played well and that’s something I was worried about going in,” said head coach John Meeks.

“Kevin really did a good job moving around in the pocket and managing the game. Wesley started out a bit slow but turned it on about midway thru the game.”

Walnut’s road date at Falkner this week has been moved up a night and will be played Thursday.

Booneville handles Mooreville

Gamble passed for two scores and ran for another as the Blue Devils eased past visiting Mooreville Friday.

“We started fast and jumped out to that 21-0 lead and then it got a bit humid and the guys got tired and we just started managing the game at that point,” said BHS coach Mike Mattox. “We played a lot of kids and gritted it out. Dallas did a good job running the offense.”

Booneville will host the always-dangerous Baldwyn Bearcats next Friday.

Thrasher shreds New Site Junior running back Shawn Dalton Weatherbee ran for two scores and passed for another to lead the Rebels to an easy 52-6 win over visiting New Site.

Senior fullback Austin Pace scored twice while quarterback Easton Boren, running back Montavious Walker and freshman running back Ethan Cummings each scored single TDs for Thrasher.

The Rebels are off this week and will visit Alcorn Central Sept. 1.

What’s the secret to controlling moles?

Although the mole is seldom seen, the damage it leaves has caused many headaches.

These small mammals – with their soft, brownish-grayish fur and paddle-like forefeet with prominent toenails – spend most of their lives underground. They do not have external ears and their eyes are so small that they appear to be missing as well. Moles have elongated heads, short

necks and strong legs that allow them to “swim” their way through soil.

Moles prefer the moist, sandy-loam soils found in gar-

dens, lawns, pastures and golf courses and generally avoid the heavier, clay-like soils.

Moles construct elaborate underground tunnel systems with shallow surface tunnels from spring through fall and deeper, permanent tunnels for winter.

All this activity is fueled by a huge appetite. Insectivores, moles eat 75 to 80 percent of their weight daily, feeding day

and night on mature insects, spiders, snail larvae, small vertebrates and, sometimes, very small amounts of vegetation.

However, earthworms and white grubs are their favorite delicacies.

Moles breed in late winter to mid-spring with gestation lasting about four to six weeks.

The crew from KimberlyClark did an outstanding job again coordinating and running the event.”

There were approximately 40 sponsors on the board for this tournament, but those listed as platinum and gold members are the ones who took part on Friday. There were teams from as far away as Illinois and Georgia.

“Each year just gets better and better as far as donations, and this golf tournament is happy to be back at Hillandale this year,” said Perkins.

The Hillandale course

has seen vast improvements over the past few years and is as in good a shape as it’s ever been in, according to pro shop manager William Cole.

“The course looks really good,” said Cole. “There have been so many improvements made and hosting this tournament is a way for us to get back on the map and show everyone exactly what Hillandale offers.”

Overholt had some expanded numbers in closing.

“We have done some adding, and since 2009 we have raised over $120,000 for the local United Way chapter, and we’re very proud of that,” he said.

MOLES CONTINUED FROM 10A

young are then born anytime from March to May. Though born hairless and helpless, young moles mature very quickly and typically leave the nest about four weeks after birth.

So, how do you control these critters?

Since moles are insectivores, the use of insecticides will help by killing off their food supply.

Though somewhat limited in its effectiveness, the thought follows that the moles will either leave or starve.

There are also repellents available that may potentially prevent damage, but in using repellents, always follow the directions and application rates provided on the package label.

Moth flakes or mothballs have also been suggested as an effective repellant. Though there have been no documented studies as to their effectiveness, it is believed that placing them into the mole’s runways will cause the mole to leave.

Aluminum phosphide, calcium cyanide and gas

cartridges are federallyregistered fumigants for use against moles. These are more effective if placed into the deep tunnels, but most of these are restricted-use pesticides and since state-pesticide registrations vary, you should contact your Extension agent.

The most successful and practical method of getting rid of moles is trapping. There are several excellent mole traps on the market and if handled properly will give good results. These traps all depend on the same springreleasing mechanism so they are comparable in overall value. These traps can be found in general hardware stores or can be purchased on line.

Pirates end skid by topping Cards Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Adam Frazier and the Pittsburgh Pirates finished off a win at PNC Park, then packed their bags for a trip — to another home game about 200 miles away.

Frazier homered, doubled and singled to help the Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 Saturday, ending a six-game losing streak in a matchup delayed nearly two hours by rain.

On Sunday morning, both teams will fly to central Pennsylvania to play in the Little League Classic later that night in Williamsport.

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said they sent

Sunday starter Ivan Nova ahead earlier Saturday.

With him already in place, the rain didn’t disrupt the Pirates much, but it could have if the game went on any longer. “(Nova is) already there,” Hurdle said. “Probably just finishing up dinner.

The key is to keep the guys fresh. I didn’t think there were any challenges. If we played longer tonight, there could’ve been some different challenges.”

The game will be held at the home of the Williamsport Crosscutters, the Pirates’ affiliate in the Class A New York-Penn League.

Following the rain delay in the second, Frazier and

Starling Marte hit two-run homers in a five-run inning.

Pinch-hitter Jose Osuna homered in the sixth.

The Cardinals scored 11 runs in each of their two wins to start this series.

Paul DeJong hit a two-run homer in the eighth and Jose Martinez homered in the ninth.

“I put us within striking distance, and Jose puts us a little closer,” DeJong said.

“You can’t give away atbats, late in a game, down by five runs, rain delay all those factors. You’ve just got to try to help the team win every time.”

Chad Kuhl (6-8) responded well following the rain delay, giving up one

run and three hits in five innings. Felipe Rivero got his 13th save.

Hurdle said Kuhl “was willing to pitch if he had to wait until tomorrow” for the rain to stop.

Kuhl said he felt sharper once he returned to the mound.

“I had all the confidence in the world that I was going to be back out there,” he said. “(It was) never really was a question in my mind with the state of our bullpen not being so rested.

I was 100 percent. No matter how long it took, I was ready.”

Michael Wacha (9-6) was tagged for five runs and seven hits in four innings.

Issues take Chapman out as Yankees closer, for now Asssociated Press

BOSTON — Aroldis Chapman is out as the New York Yankees closer.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Saturday night’s game with the Boston Red Sox that the hard throwing lefty, who gave up two runs in a non-save appearance in

Friday’s 9-6 loss to Boston, is being taken out of that role to work through some location issues.

Chapman will be used “at any point” for now, Girardi said, though he stopped short of naming his replacement. Instead, Dellin Betances and David Robertson will be

used based on the situation, to allow flexibility.

Chapman has given up at least two runs in each of his last three outings.

It includes a game earlier this week against Boston in New York in which he blew a lead in a 3-2 loss.

Girardi said an injury has been ruled out as a

culprit for Chapman’s recent issues, and that Chapman told him he was willing to do “whatever it takes” for the team to win.

“He knows that he needs to get back on track and that he’s scuffled a little bit,” Girardi said. “But he said ‘I’m

willing to do anything. I just want to win.’”

Girardi said he thinks Chapman has been off for about the past two weeks, and he hopes moving him around will help him get things back on track.

He emphasized that this change could be

short-lived, depending upon how Chapman responds to it.

His inclination is that it will be a positive for him.

“When we get him going like I believe he will get going, there’s a good chance I’ll put him back in that closer’s role,” Girardi said.

Hope for a Hero

Army veteran finds support with service dog

By Brant Sappington bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A dog can be much more than just man’s best friend.

For U.S. Army veteran Christian Cetina of Booneville, a furry friend named Gus is serving as a beacon of hope for a better way of life.

Struggling with debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder after two tours in Afghanistan as an infantryman with the army, Cetina and his wife, Camille, were searching for help when they came across the website of K9s for Warriors and immediately knew they had found something very special: hope.

“It was sort of a mutual feeling like, I think this is the answer. It just felt right,” he said.

For years Cetina has dealt with symptoms of PTSD which have turned his life upside down.

He was so overwhelmed he had to drop out of school, quit driving and quit working. He struggled with being out in public.

At K9s for Warriors he found a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing veterans who have been diagnosed with disabling PTSD, traumatic brain injury or military sexual trauma with service dogs trained to help them deal with stressful situations and move forward with their lives.

The dogs and all train-

ing are provided free of charge.

After a lengthy application process that included obtaining letters from his doctors and mental health doctors and providing extensive information about his life and struggles he was approved to receive a service dog from the program.

In July he traveled to the group’s training center, where he was united with Gus and spent three weeks learning how to interact with his new friend.

After all the months of waiting the moment he met Gus is one he will never forget.

“I just cried. He jumped on me and he licked me all over,” he said.

During the three weeks of training he and Gus bonded as trainers who had already spent more than three months training the dog taught them how to work together.

They traveled to malls, the beach, a public park and other locations to experience facing the real world as a team.

Cetina said he was inspired by the experiences of his trainer who has a K9s for Warriors service dog himself and has been through the same struggles.

“I saw how he is living with it and being able to move forward. It was inspirational to me to know I could get to that place,’ he said.

U.S. Army veteran Christian Cetina has found hope for dealing with severe post-traumatic stress disorder through his service dog, Gus, provided through K9s for Warriors.

Since returning home the change in his life has been dramatic.

“It’s a huge difference,” said Camille. “ He has his life back.”

She said it’s clear how Gus helps her husband stay calm in difficult situations and will react to his moods and let him know what he needs to do before he even realizes he

may be struggling.

“It makes it easier to see when he needs to take a break and take breath before he gets overwhelmed,” she said.

Christian said as a soldier you’re taught to be strong and never ask for help, but he would encourage any servicemember in his situation to reach and out and

see if the K9s for Warriors program is right for them.

“It’s tough. We’re taught that we’re army guys. We’re taught that you don’t express your feelings, you just keep them in and move forward. That’s what we’re trained to do,” he said.

“We’re taught to be strong, keep your head

down and move forward, but we’re also taught to ask for a medic when we need one. Right now, for me, this is my medic.

Gus, he’s my medic,” he said.

Beware, though: despite the uniqueness and abundance of memories here, it cannot be said that this is a wide-arcing book. That’s okay; it has the feel of a lush secret that’s whispered from the dressing room of a smoky casino. Who could resist?

Fans can’t, that’s for sure. This book may be pricey, but you’ll know “Blue Suede Shoes” is worth it once you take a quick peek inside. If you’re a die-hard Elvis aficionado, you Can’t Help Falling in Love with this book.

Book offers peak into life of The King

by Terri Schlichenmeyer The Bookworm Sez

“Blue Suede Shoes: The Culture of Elvis” by Thom Gilbert, foreword by Kim Novak c.2017, Glitterati Incorporated $65.00 252 pages Forty years ago, you were All Shook Up. The death of The King was unexpected and chances are, you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news that he was gone. It wasn’t Alright, Mama; it was devastating and you still miss Elvis Presley terribly. In “Blue Suede Shoes: The Culture of Elvis” by Thom Gilbert, you’ll read about others who miss him, too.

Elvis Presley, says Gilbert in his introduction, “was nothing like what you heard about him.”

Presley’s career, for example, almost didn’t happen: according to one story here, young Presley didn’t initially want his first guitar. He wanted a rifle but his mother talked

Early in his career, Presley was publicly shy and self-conscious, sometimes questioning his purpose in life. Live mics made him tongue-tied and nervous.

Still, he loved a good time, and he had more than his share of girlfriends – including one who wanted to marry him and one who definitely did not. him out of it.

Early in his career, Presley was publicly shy and self-conscious, sometimes questioning his purpose in life. Live mics made him tonguetied and nervous. Still, he loved a good time, and he had more than his share of girlfriends – including one who wanted to marry him and one who definitely did not.

Unfailingly polite, Presley was respectful of his elders (even two-yearsolder-elders), and was complimentary to fellow musicians and kind to fans. He loved to read the

Bible, and he carried the New Testament with him in a travelling box, which also held jewelry he impulsively bought as gifts.

“Sweet,” in fact, is a word used often in this book. “Nice” is another one, and that didn’t change as Presley’s career grew. Never taking on airs, he was “Plain as a shoe” but fame had its price, even so: friends had to disguise Presley so he could enjoy everyday pleasures like restaurants and nightclubs.

Yes, some things were off-limits (Elvis wanted to be on TV’s “Laugh-

In,” but Colonel Parker wouldn’t allow it), yet when someone came up with an idea, Presley would “make it happen.”

“Once Elvis touched your life,” said one friend, “you were never the same.”

It’s maybe hard to tell by the photo you’re looking at here, but that’s fringe on the edge of “Blue Suede Shoes.” It’s gaudy, like an old Las Vegas showgirl costume, perhaps the kitschiest book you’d have on your shelf - but if you loved Elvis Presley, it’d be the most popular one, too.

And what’s between those blue faux-suedefabric covers? Interviews, of course: author Thom Gilbert spoke with musicians who worked with Presley, as well as costars, body guards, love interests, and others. But that’s not all: readers will find pages absolutely packed with photos of things Elvis owned, gave away, lived in, wore, treasured, and used throughout his career.

So, to earn 40 credits, you must have worked 10 years, part-time, making the required $1300 per quarter.

This combination will make you eligible for Social Security benefits.

Because widow benefits cannot begin until age 60 (or age 50 if disabled)

there is quite a gap for the young widower.

The number of credits needed for a benefit for a younger worker depends on the age of the worker at the time of their death.

The younger the person is, the fewer the credits required for widow and family benefits.

Survivors are entitled to benefits if the worker, after age 21, worked at least one and one-half years during the three years prior to death.

The child is also entitled to a survivor benefit equal to 75% of the deceased parent’s benefit until the child turns 18 (or 19 if still in high school).

Together the mother and the child or children could receive 150% - 180% of the deceased persons Social Security benefit, depending on the number of children that are eligible.

If the sum of the benefits to family members is greater than the allowed limit, they amount will be reduced proportionately.

A caveat here – if the widow is working, she will be restricted on income by the Earnings Limitations laws (currently $16,920 in 2017).

This means for every $2 she earns over the limitation, Social Security will withhold $1 of benefits.

However, her earnings

will not reduce the children’s survivor benefits.

There is also a one-time lump-sum death benefit of $255 payable to the surviving spouse.

If there is not an eligible surviving spouse, this benefit can be paid to the children. This benefit must be applied for within two years of the date of death.

Turner is latest to plan sports streaming service

By TALI ARBEL AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Turner Sports is the latest TV company to announce a sports streaming service as traditional television companies chase millennial audiences.

The service, expected next year in the U.S., has signed up European soccer with the UEFA Champions League and UEFA

Europa League. Higherprofile sports on Turner’s TV channels, such as baseball and basketball, won’t move to the new service. Instead, Turner is looking for new deals with content owners and leagues.

Live sports get TV’s biggest ratings and have helped keep customers hooked on the $100-andup cable bundle. But

it’s getting easier to find sports online.

Major sports channels come with cheaper, slimmer web versions of the bundle, like Sling and YouTube TV. Amazon, Twitter and Facebook are experimenting with televising games. A sports-focused streaming service, Fubo, has been around for a few years. And CBS and ESPN are planning to

launch sports streaming sites.

ESPN, CBS and Turner are all hoping to lure sports fans with the new services while protecting the existing TV business, which relies on a big cable bundle.

For that reason, Turner doesn’t plan to replicate what’s being shown on its TV channels, truTV, TNT and TBS. The new

service won’t get Turner’s televised coverage of Major League Baseball, the March Madness men’s college basketball tournament and National Basketball Association games, including the AllStar Game.

Turner didn’t announce a price for the upcoming service.

The UEFA rights have been held in the U.S. by

Fox Sports and are new for Turner for the 201819 season. The rights with Turner run for three years. Turner will air about 20 percent of the games on its TV channels, primarily truTV; the rest are for streaming.

Turner Sports’ owner, Time Warner Inc., is being acquired by telecom company AT&T for $85 billion.

NASA, PBS marking 40 years since Voyager spacecraft launches

By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Forty years after blasting off, Earth’s most distant ambassadors — the twin Voyager spacecraft — are carrying sounds and music of our planet ever deeper into the cosmos.

Think of them as messages in bottles meant for anyone — or anything — out there.

This Sunday marks the 40th anniversary of NASA’s launch of Voyager 2, now almost 11 billion miles distant. It departed from Cape Canaveral on Aug. 20, 1977, to explore Jupiter and Saturn.

Voyager 1 followed a few weeks later and is ahead of Voyager 2.

It’s humanity’s farthest spacecraft at 13 billion miles away and is the world’s only craft to reach interstellar space, the vast mostly emptiness between star systems. Voyager 2 is expected to cross that boundary during the next few years.

Each carries a 12-inch, gold-plated copper phonograph record (there were no CDs or MP3s back then) containing messages from Earth: Beethoven’s Fifth, chirping crickets, a baby’s cry, a kiss, wind and rain, a thunderous moon rocket launch, African pygmy songs, Solomon Island panpipes, a Peruvian wedding song and greetings in dozens of languages. There are also more than 100 electronic images on each record showing 20th-century life, traffic jams and all.

NASA is marking the

anniversary of its backto-back Voyager launches with tweets, reminisces and still captivating photos of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune taken by the Voyagers from 1979 through the 1980s.

Public television is also paying tribute with a documentary, “The Farthest Voyager in Space,” airing Wednesday on PBS at 8 p.m. CDT. The two-hour documentary describes the tense and dramatic behind-the-scenes effort that culminated in the wildly successful missions to our solar system’s outer planets and beyond. More than 20 team members are interviewed, many of them long retired.

There’s original TV footage throughout, including a lookback at the late astronomer Carl Sagan of the 1980 PBS series “Cosmos.” It also includes an interview with Sagan’s son, Nick, who at 6 years old provided the English message: “Hello from the children of Planet Earth.”

Planetary scientist Carolyn Porco — who joined Voyager’s imaging team in 1980 — puts the mission up there with man’s first moon landing.

“I consider Voyager to be the Apollo 11 of the planetary exploration program. It has that kind of iconic stature,” Porco, a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, said Thursday.

It was Sagan who, in large part, got a record aboard each Voyager.

NASA was reluctant and did not want the records eclipsing the scientific goals. Sagan finally pre-

vailed, but he and his fellow record promoters had less than two months to rustle everything up.

The identical records were the audio version of engraved plaques designed by Sagan and others for Pioneers 10 and 11, launched in 1972 and 1973.

The 55 greetings for the Voyager Golden Records were collected at Cornell University, where Sagan taught astronomy, and the United Nations in New York. The music production fell to science writer Timothy Ferris, a friend of Sagan living then in New York.

For the musical selections, Ferris and Sagan recruited friends along with a few professional musicians.

They crammed in 90 minutes of music recorded at half-speed; otherwise it would have lasted just 45 minutes.

How to choose from an infinite number of melodies and melodious sounds representing all of Earth?

Beethoven, Bach and Mozart were easy picks.

Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven represented jazz, Blind Willie Johnson gospel blues.

For the rock ’n’ roll single, the group selected Chuck Berry’s 1958 hit “Johnny B. Goode.” Bob Dylan was a close runnerup, and the Beatles also rated high. Elvis Presley’s name came up (Presley died four days before Voyager 2’s launch). In the end, Ferris thought “Johnny B. Goode” best represented the origins and creativity of rock ‘n’

Sisters finally working together on CD

By DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

NEW YORK — Shelby Lynne has a succinct explanation for why she and her sister Allison Moorer had two decades of successful solo careers before making a disc together.

“Timing,” she said.

The Alabama-bred sisters have forged their own identities skirting the Americana music world.

The soulful blast of 1999’s “I Am Shelby Lynne” led the older sister to win a Grammy Award, and she’s followed an eclectic path since.

Moorer, more at home in Nashville, Tennessee, although she lives in New York, earned her strongest reviews with the most recent “Down to Believing” album that touched on the breakup of her marriage to Steve Earle and their son’s autism diagnosis.

There has to be something more to it than the bi-coastal sisters being able to schedule togetherness on something other than Facetime, right?

“Well, it’s important for our legacy to do this,” Lynne said. “The most important thing for me is to be able to do something that stands the test of time with my sister and our plan is to maybe keep doing it.”

The disc “Not Dark Yet,” out Friday, represents their second attempt at collaboration. The first, six years ago, was aborted.

What was wrong then?

“Timing,” Lynne repeated.

More specifically, they didn’t have enough time to write. That partly explains why this one, named for the Bob Dylan song, is a collection of covers with one original. That song, “Is it Too Much,” closes the album and features Lynne and Moorer trying to pick each other up because, as the lyrics say, “no one else bears this heavy load.”

That load goes unspoken in the song, although Lynne, now 48, and Moorer, 45, share a heavy one. They were teenagers when their father shot and killed their mother, and then himself, outside their home. “Is it too much, the hurting in your eyes?” Moorer sings. “Is it too much, the feelings we try to hide?”

“I think it’s just a love letter between us,” Moorer said. “I was thinking about empathy the other day and that’s one of the main themes of this record. This record is about our relationship. We’ve been singing to ourselves and other people for a long time. On this record we’re really singing to each other.”

The music, she said, allows “the world to see the beauty of our relationship. That hard-won, chin-up theme. It’s a special thing.”

Lynne and Moorer, who casually refer to each other as “sissy,” trade verses

and harmonize so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell where one voice begins and the other ends. Producer Teddy Thompson was chosen because he knows his way around harmony and musical families. Each woman brought their own selections to the recording sessions. Thompson did, too, “but we took none of his suggestions,” Moorer said.

Choices like the Louvin Brothers’ “Every Time You Leave” and Jessi Colter’s “I’m Looking for Blue Eyes” were easy; the sisters sang them together as kids. Lynne suggested Nick Cave’s intensely romantic “Into My Arms” and Moorer brought in the Killers’ “My List,” which her older sister initially resisted.

“I listened to it a few times and I thought, ‘I don’t hear this,’” she said.

“When she played it for me on guitar, I thought, ‘Now I get it.’”

Nirvana’s “Lithium” is the most experimental choice; their version may take a few listens to click. Lynne said she feels Kurt Cobain had a hidden “country bone,” and Moorer said she learned how to play guitar to Nirvana’s “Unplugged.”

The selections “sort of shaped up to be where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going,” Moorer said.

roll.

Ferris still believes it’s “a terrific record” and he has no “deep regrets” about the selections. Even the rejected tunes represented “beautiful materials.”

“It’s like handfuls of diamonds. If you’re concerned that you didn’t get the right handful or something, it’s probably a neurotic problem rather than anything to do with

the diamonds,” Ferris told the AP earlier this week.

But he noted: “If I were going to start into regrets, I suppose not having Italian opera would be on that list.”

The whole record project cost $30,000 or $35,000, to the best of Ferris’ recollection.

NASA estimated the records would last 1 billion to 3 billion years or more

Crossword

— potentially outliving human civilization.

For Ferris, it’s time more than distance that makes the whole idea of finders-keepers so incomprehensible.

A billion years from now, “Voyager could be captured by an advanced civilization of beings that don’t exist yet ... It’s literally imponderable what will happen to the Voyagers,” he said.

In Studdard’s world, little toys can tell epic tales

By JAN SWOOPE The Commercial Dispatch

COLUMBUS — Erik Studdard scrabbled around in the drawer of a plastic storage bin. It’s a repository for superheroes, warriors and villains, even a fierce black steed, nostrils flared.

Studdard finds the piece he’s hunting for -- “Daryl Dixon,” the crossbowcarrying zombie hunter from the “Walking Dead” TV series. It’s one of dozens of action figures the Columbus native has at home to help act out storylines. Studdard is into toy photography, and in that realm, little toys can tell epic tales.

While some form of toy photography has been around for decades, social media has fueled a growing global community of enthusiasts who revel in the challenge of making toys appear lifelike through the lens. It’s a hobby Studdard took up less than two years ago. A good friend, Chris McDill, helped light the fire. McDill was big into building “Star Wars” Legos.

“I didn’t realize toy photography existed until Chris sent me some links to photographers who were taking pictures of ‘Star Wars’ Legos,” Studdard said. “It blew me away how beautifully lit and how intricate some of

the scenes were.” After a time, Studdard -- already a Batman buff with some figures on hand -- began experimenting with his own camera. He posted the results on Instagram and discovered a large, sharing online community where 39-year-old graphic designers are encouraged to play with toys again.

Toy photography is a mix of imagination, creative savvy and technical skill. In Studdard’s photos, the goal is to make his action figures as “human” as possible, approaching the scene as a cinematographer would, employing positioning, lighting and surrounding to convey a story.

At the dining table — which Studdard has turned into a gritty Gotham City subway terminal — he leans over the walls of his diorama, positioning one-twelfth scale Batman and The Joker for a showdown. His affinity for the caped crusader goes back a long way.

“I still remember showing up to the theater in 1989 and standing in line for nearly an hour to get a seat to watch Michael Keaton become The Batman,” said Studdard.

“That’s where it all started for me.”

Since taking up toy photography, Studdard

While some form of toy photography has been around for decades, social media has fueled a growing global community of enthusiasts who revel in the challenge of making toys appear lifelike through the lens. It’s a hobby Studdard took up less than two years ago. A good friend, Chris McDill, helped light the fire.

McDill was big into building “Star Wars” Legos. has pushed himself to improve his craft.

He’s upgraded to a Nikon D800 and 24-85 millimeter lens with a macro setting. He’s honed in on Mezco Toyz and Hot Toys as preferred manufacturers of figures, appreciating their great attention to detail. Most of his toys are one-twelfth or one-sixth scale. Many of Studdard’s smaller figures range in price from $80 to $110, but like most hobbies, this one can get expensive. A sixth-scale Tactical Batsuit Version of Batman, for example, goes for $266. A 10th anniversary quarter-scale Heath Ledger as The Joker, due out in 2018, can be preordered for $540.

Action figures often come with interchangeable head sculpts, hand

sculpts and accessories.

In the case of Batman, it might be Batarangs or grappling hooks. Companies like Extreme Sets make pop-up cardboard backdrops that set mood — alleyways, abandoned houses, freight yards or docks. Studdard sometimes shoots outdoors, too.

At his dining table-cumsubway, Studdard shakes a can of Atmosphere Aerosol and sprays, sending a fog swirling around Batman and Joker. It’s one of many ways photographers develop shots in this subgenre where wheat flour can be snow and a parched desert floor might be crushed cornflakes.

Lighting is everything.

“It makes or breaks the picture,” said Studdard,

adjusting a soft box, a photographic lighting device looming over his scene. “I try to do mine mostly at night because I try not to get all that natural light coming in.”

The hobbyist also controls light with assists from colored glow sticks and saved screens on his phone. His goal is to get as much of the scene realistic with his set-up and camera, keeping computer post-editing to a minimum.

It’s not only DC Comic’s Batman he spends hours with, composing and getting the shots he wants.

Studdard has experimented with characters from “Star Wars,” ‘‘Predator,” ‘‘The Punisher,” ‘‘Walking Dead” and others.

Is there such a thing as a toy bucket list? Yes, and there are several on Studdard’s list, especially with the new “Justice League” and “Thor” movies coming out and the related figures that will hit the toy markets.

In March, Studdard was honored to have a selection of his photographs featured in Exclu Design Collective’s “Batman Week” online. It helped expand his connection to even more toy photographers.

“The toy community is a really helpful community, and people are

always willing to share their own ‘behind the scenes’ and say how they made a picture happen,” said Studdard. There is no set recipe for how to do it right. Toy photographers are constantly experimenting, sharing and inspiring each other online. To date, Studdard hasn’t come across anyone else in the Golden Triangle area who does it, but would like to if they’re out there.

For a boy enthralled by a mysterious, masked crime fighter in black on the big screen all those years ago, getting to conjure scenes from the films and comic books almost 30 years later is a blast.

“You get to recreate things you saw and try to put your own spin on them,” Studdard said.

He doesn’t forget that his friend Chris McDill pointed him toward this creative outlet through the links he shared. McDill passed away last year.

A framed photograph of him sits on a table in the entryway, not far from the diorama.

“Chris was always doing artistic stuff and always trying to push everybody to do something they enjoyed,” said Studdard.

“In his way he was showing me, hey man, people are doing cool stuff with toys.”

Fast food worker is fighting back after being fat-shamed

By ROBIN FITZGERALD The Sun Herald

GULFPORT — First, she was shocked and hurt.

Then she became angry.

Jessica Pruitt knows she’s overweight and has an overhanging stomach.

But the 20-year-old Saucier woman never imagined a stranger would take a picture of her at work to make fun of her. Or that the picture would turn up on Facebook. With fatshaming comments.

The picture showed Pruitt at the Raising Cane’s drive-thru window on U.S. 49 with her stomach resting on top of the counter. The woman who shared the original post referred to Pruitt as “nasty and disgracing” and said, in part, “I talk about fat, nasty disgusting people.”

Pruitt, a Harrison Central High School graduate, said her manager has been supportive, by calling to check on her and contacting the corporate office, which reported the post to Facebook.

“Being overweight runs in my family,” Pruitt said.

“I’ve tried to lose weight

but I was recently diagnosed with a disorder that makes it hard to do that.”

But Pruitt was in for another surprise.

Saucier resident Laurie Carter, also a stranger, saw a the post and was so upset that she contacted Pruitt in a private message on Facebook. Carter said she’s also been bodyshamed and bullied. With Pruitt’s approval, Carter decided to hold a rally in support of Pruitt and to raise awareness about bullying — all types of bullying, to include bodyshaming.

Pruitt will be the guest of honor at Stand Against Bullies, planned for Sept.

2 at Jones Park. The rally will be at the splash pad from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Children are welcome, and people are encouraged to come and go if they wish.

Carter described the post as “very rude and hateful” and said it brought tears to her eyes.

“That could have been me standing there that day at that counter,” Carter said. “I have a pudge in my stomach. But it was

Or that the picture would turn up on Facebook. With fat-shaming comments. her this time. I wanted her to know she doesn’t have to go through this alone.

“It’s a harsh reality of a heavy-set person. Your flaws get pointed out more than anyone else.”

Body-shaming recently made local and national headlines less than two months ago when television meterologist Carrie Duncan called out a viewer who sent her a derogatory email because of her weight. “Ugly people always have something ugly to say,” Duncan, of WLOX TV, wrote on her Facebook page. She had shared a screen shot of the email, which said she should get “defatted.”

“Please think about the

person you are saying these things about and to,” Duncan wrote.

Duncan also has been praised for taking the high road in the Sun Herald blog, Throwing Shade, and in the Sun Herald’s Sound Off column.

Pruitt said she appreciates every show of support.

Pruitt said her fiance was even angrier than she was over the post.

The woman who posted the picture later made comments on Facebook that she was exercising her freedom of speech.

She made no apologies.

The woman said someone took the picture and sent it to her.

“The person who made

the post feels like freedom of speech gives freedom to publicly humiliate someone,” Carter said. “I don’t believe in that.”

“I feel like bullying starts at home. If your parents are not necessarily nice to you, and they’re being negative toward you, you’re going to school and you’re going to do what you learn.”

“I can just pray for her and wish her the best,” Carter said. If the woman has children, “I hope they don’t go through what (Pruitt) is going through.”

Carter said she’s had to deal with her own daughter being bullied. She is thinking about starting a support group.

She and Pruitt had not met, but both women said they’re looking forward to it.

“I just want to give her

a big hug and tell her I’m there for her 100 percent in anything and everything she needs,” Carter said.

“If it’s someone to talk to at 2 o’clock in the morning, or she’s got a flat tire at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. The only thing I ask is that if she’s ever in a position of seeing someone else being a bullied, that she will take a stand and be there for somebody like I was there for her.”

Carter said her grandmother helped her face bullies by encouraging her.

“She always told me how beautiful I am, that weight is only a number.

That’s not who I am. That I’m a beautiful person inside and out, and to have confidence in myself because I’m a beautiful girl.”
