Two escapees among those indicted BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two men who escaped from the regional correctional facility in June are among those indicted during the latest session of the Alcorn County grand jury. A joint indictment for Sirdon

Capanion Greer and Garnett Denzell Hughes includes two counts — one for jail escape and one for grand larceny. In addition to the escape, they are accused of taking jail keys and a two-way radio. Hughes, who was being

housed on charges of burglary of a dwelling, sexual battery, armed robbery and kidnapping, overpowered a guard at the correctional facility while being returned from exercise time and then unlocked the cell of Greer, who was jailed as a double mur-

der and arson suspect. Other indictments that have been served, according to court records: ■ Joshua Balentine — Taking motor vehicle ■ Sierra Canales — Directing minor to commit felony

■ Timothy Gilley — Possession of controlled substance ■ Dana Gray — One indictment for grand larceny and and another for credit card fraud ■ Michael Gunn — Possession

Making it an October to remember, the local shelter is busy making plans for their first ever Bark-O-Toberfest. The inaugural festival, sponsored by Smith. restaurant, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the historic downtown Corinth Depot. “We are so excited and happy to help raise money for the Corinth-Alcorn Shelter,” said Julia Smith, co-owner of Smith.

Strength Team teaches about correct choices BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Choices come in either the good or bad variety. Strength Team members Joel Caldwell and Zeb Bishop pumped up Glendale Elementary School students to always go with the right choice. “Good choices are important,” said Caldwell. “Whatever goals and dreams you have, say yes to good choices and no to the bad ones.” The pair of powerful men impressed the students with a show of strength prior to passing on valuable lessons.

Fillmore Block Party fun

CONTINUED FROM 1A

The United Way works with more than 1,200 local offices around the country to manage fundraising efforts and identify and resolve community issues. “Each year the board gathers about 150 volunteers who we involve in the process of selecting how we award funds,” said Rhett. “We think we have made some good choices this year.” Several local organizations receive United Way support each year, including the Boys and Girls Club of Corinth, local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, CorinthAlcorn Literacy Council, Corinth Sportsplex Outreach, Corinth Welfare Association, Easom Outreach Foundation Hot Meals Program, 4-H Clubs, Faith Haven, First Call For Help, Living Healthy Free Medical Clinic, Magnolia Regional Health Center Hospice Volunteer Training, S.A.F.E. and Project Attention. Funds also provide scholarships for adult classes at Alcorn Career and Technical Center and the FCCLA and FFA student clubs. Teacher Academy, one of the newest funded projects, is a local student organization to support young people who are interested in education-related careers. Lead by ACTC instructor Nan Nethery, Teacher Academy is a FEA (Future Educators Association) endorsed club. Rhett said his board feels very fortunate to reside in such a giving community. “Without our donors, we would not be successful,” he said. “We have some organizations and businesses in this area that go above and beyond to help raise money each year and we are very thankful.” (For more information or to donate, call 662-2868662.)

Organizers are calling the first ever Fillmore Block Party in downtown Corinth a huge success as hundreds of people attended to check out booths by local businesses, great food samples from local restaurants, excellent entertainment and a fashion show. Two 5-year-olds having a great time were Lilly Smith and Daniel Dodd. For more photos of the block party, see the next edition of Crossroads Magazine.

BMC readies ‘Seussical the Musical’

Briefs Today is Sunday, Sept. 21, the 264th day of 2014. There are 101 days left in the year.

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today’s Highlights in History: On Sept. 21, 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, South Carolina (the storm was blamed for 56 deaths in the Caribbean and 29 in the United States). Twenty-one students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, hit by a softdrink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit.

On this date: In 1792, the French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy. In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Massachusetts, by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles. In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial, written anonymously by Francis P. Church, which declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” In 1912, magician Harry Houdini first publicly performed his “Water Torture Cell” trick at the Circus Busch in Berlin. In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives. In 1948, Milton Berle made his debut as permanent host of “The Texaco Star Theater” on NBC. In 1964, Malta gained independence from Britain. In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21. In 1982, Amin Gemayel, brother of Lebanon’s assassinated president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was himself elected president. National Football League players began a 57-day strike, their first regular-season walkout ever. In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted football owners to hire replacement players.) In 1991, an 18-hour hostage drama ended in Sandy, Utah, as Richard L. Worthington, who’d seized control of a hospital maternity ward and killed a nurse, finally freed his nine captives, including a baby born during the siege. (Worthington committed suicide in prison in 1993.)

BLUE MOUNTAIN — The outlandish characters of Dr. Seuss will frolic upon the stage as Blue Mountain College presents Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s “Seussical the Musical.” Featuring personalities from The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who!, Horton Hatches the Egg and Miss Gertrude McFuzz, the humorous show will take place from Sept. 30 to Oct. 4. “This is great family show,” said Director Jim Andre. “‘Seussical’ has great music and dancing and its as much fun for adults as it is young people – maybe more.” Drawing its storyline

from 17 of Dr. Suess’s most beloved children’s

books, “Seussical the Musical” brings to life

the adventures of Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie, the Bad Girls, the Sour Kangaroo, the Grinch and a gaggle of other familiar characters. BMC will offer seven performances. Show times are at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 and Oct. 2-4; at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 1-2; and at 1 p.m. on Oct 3. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Patrons who are interested in attending the matinée performances are urged to secure reservations. (For more information contact the BMC Theatre Department at 662-6854771 extension 134 or email the director at jandre@bmc.edu.)

Birthday recognition Elizabeth Curlee of Booneville (seated) recently celebrated her 87th birthday with a surprise luncheon at Blue Mountain College. Mrs. Curlee attended BMC 1948-49 while her late husband John Curlee served as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army, then returned and earned her degree in 1959. With Mrs. Curlee at her BMC birthday lunch were (from left) Nancy McDonald, director of BMC alumni affairs; Dr. Barbara Childers McMillin, BMC president; Iris Easterling, Mrs. Curlee’s sister; and friends D.W.

Hillary’s dilemma BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Hillary Clinton is increasingly facing the same kind of problem as bedeviled former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey in his failed 1968 race for the presidency. Both she and Humphrey wrestled with how to put distance between themselves and an unpopular president, particularly as he sank deeper and deeper into an increasingly difficult foreign war. Each sought to take advantage of their experience in the race for the White House while trying to articulate differences with the president on the policy they helped to formulate. In each case, the president – despite declining poll ratings among the general electorate – still retained formidable resources as the leader of his party. Whipsawed between fear of antagonizing the president and his political base and the need to separate from a failed foreign policy, both Humphrey and Hillary present an image of vacillation and possibly weakness. Like Humphrey, Hillary has a reputation as a hawk, an image carefully cultivated over the years. Her first term in the Senate from New York was shadowed by the 9/11 attacks in her new home state. She always recognized her vulnerability, as a woman, to the charge that she would not be an adequate commanderin-chief. Her anti-war positions during her youth threatened to disrupt a future presidential candidacy as surely as similar views hurt John Kerry in 2004. So, as an antidote, Hillary opted to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee and became an outspoken advocate of the resolution to use force in Iraq. She also backed the Patriot Act throughout her tenure. (Hillary felt so insecure about the implications of 9/11 for her career that she reportedly sought to relate to New Yorkers by pretending that Chelsea was right near the Towers when they collapsed and ducked into a coffee shop saving her life. Chelsea soon admitted she was watching the events unfold on TV from her home four miles away.) But Hillary’s hawkishness backfired and provided fuel for the fire that was Barack Obama. Impelled by the anti-war movement, the upstart won the Iowa caucuses and went on to defeat Hillary for the nomination. Now that Obama has, in effect, switched sides, advocating new military involvement in the Middle East, the question is: Will Hillary follow him? So far, she shows signs of not only going along, but also wanting to lead the charge. Conspicuously, she has called attention to her support for arming the Syrian rebels during her State Department years. But her hawkishness would seem to be only politically viable if she has no primary opponent, particularly not one from the left. But just as Johnson’s involvement in Vietnam catalyzed an adversary – first the weaker Eugene McCarthy and then the formidable Bobby Kennedy – so Hillary may find an opponent if she continues to tack to the right on ISIS and Syria. Right now, these problems loom only on a distant horizon. The war with ISIS is broadly popular following their beheadings. Sixtyone percent support military involvement and, if it is restricted to air attacks, 68 percent say they will support it. But wars have a way of becoming unpopular and swallowing up those who supported them. Even if Hillary faces no primary, her prowar stand might cause her base voters to say home or even defect. Humphrey lost to Nixon in 1968 because peace activists opted not to vote or even switched over to back the Republican. The ISIS war makes these days treacherous ones for Hillary to navigate and the history of her own failure in 2008 and Humphrey’s in 1968 serve as dire warnings. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Prayer for today My Father in heaven, may I hear thy voice to-day! May I be quiet as I listen to thee. Above the clamor of the crowd may I hear thee calling me. May I hear thee in my joys and in my sorrows; in my work and in my leisure. May I listen to thee oftener, that I may be familiar with thy ways. Amen.

A verse to share “And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.” John 16:22

What will victory look like? “Congress must now vote to support the first steps of what will be a long march toward victory,” said Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Following this clarion call, 71 House Republicans bolted to join 85 Democrats in voting no to U.S. funds to train and arm Syrian rebels. Why the hesitation? Because our strategy in Syria is to rely on a Free Syrian Army that has been the least effective force in that civil war, and untrustworthy to boot. Units of the FSA have handed their U.S. weapons over to ISIS. Yet these “feckless” rebels, says Sen. Bob Corker, constitute “our entire ground game.” John McCain raises a second issue. The FSA came into being to overthrow Bashar Assad. Now they are to be retrained to fight ISIS. How effective will the FSA be when told to change sides and become de facto allies of the dictator against whom they took up arms? Projections are that it will take a year before we can set up and run camps in Saudi Arabia, vet volunteers, train, equip, and arm rebels, and send 5,000 fighters into battle in Syria. The United States will then be ensuring that a three-year civil war that

has caused millions of refugees and cost 190,000 lives – soldiers, rebels, jihadists, and Pat civilians alike Buchanan – will go on indefinitely. Columnist Where is the morality in a superpower decision to arm Syrians and send them into a war they cannot win, so few in number are they, but where they can keep bleeding 5,000 lives a month of their countrymen? Can St. Augustine’s theory of a just war be reconciled with such programmed slaughter with no end in sight? Brushing aside these concerns is the Wall Street Journal, whose editorial, “The Syria Campaign,” describes how the FSA can emerge victorious. “American bombs aren’t yet falling on Syria, but on Tuesday Chuck Hagel suggested they soon will. ... Let’s hope so.” the editorial began. Here is how the Journal’s “military strategy” would unfold: “A devastating air campaign against the Islamic State might at least weaken the group sufficiently to embolden a revolt and send new recruits to the FSA. The

model here is the air cover NATO gave to Kosovars as they fought Serbian aggressors in 1999.” But were the Serbs really “aggressors” in fighting to hold their cradle province of Kosovo, which ethnic Albanians were trying to tear away? Did Bill Clinton fight a constitutional war in killing 1,000 Serbs without the authorization of the Congress of the United States? Does the Journal have in mind another unconstitutional war? So it would seem. For the Journal not only wants bombs falling on ISIS, but on Assad as well. The Journal wants Obama to bomb Raqqa, ISIS, the Assad regime, and its army and air force, to give the FSA a “psychological boost.” Questions arise: Does the Journal believe Barack Obama needs Congressional authorization before going to war against Syria, which has neither attacked nor threatened us, but instead has expressed a willingness to work with us to destroy ISIS? Does the Journal believe Hezbollah and Iran, which have expended blood and treasure sustaining their ally Assad in his civil war, will sit still and watch us bomb him? Will Putin do

nothing as we bomb his ally? What if our air campaign against ISIS, as our air attacks in Iraq seem to have done, brings recruits rushing not to the FSA, but to ISIS? Before we went back into the Iraq war, we were told ISIS had 15,000 fighters. Now there are estimates of 30,000. Are we creating more enemies than we are killing? And if our bombing campaign against Assad breaks him, who comes to power in Damascus, if not ISIS, alNusra or the Islamic Front? What then becomes of the Christian and Shia minorities? “Our key allies are the Kurds, the parts of the Iraqi military that aren’t dominated by Iraq’s militia, and the moderate Sunnis in Syria and Iraq,” says the Journal. But if those are our key allies, then the “long march” to victory of which the majority leader speaks appears to have no end. And what will victory look like? (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

A plea for constitutional literacy Earlier this summer, I managed to perplex, perhaps even offend, a famous TV interviewer when I declared I want a federal government that follows the U.S. Constitution. Seemingly aghast, the interviewer went so far as to suggest my position was a “highly charged thing to say.” Imagine that. A journalist – who, owing to the Constitution, has the right to report and speak freely – being uncomfortable with a fellow American’s allegiance to the Constitution and to the Founding Fathers’ vision of a limited central government. I fear we as a nation have drifted too far away from an understanding and appreciation of the greatest governance document the world has ever produced. We have a president today who usurps power never given to him in the Constitution, a dysfunctional Congress so gridlocked that it can’t fulfill its mission as a separate-but-equal branch of government, and a Fourth Estate of media elites who cheerlead for a bigger, more intrusive government that unnecessarily addicts those

struggling to escape poverty to handouts, rather than encouraging selfreliance. Ben Let me be Carson clear. Rightly sized and Columnist empowered, government serves an excellent purpose. Our Founding Fathers knew that and created a perfect vision for a republic of independent states protected and served by a central federal government with strong checks and balances. Those checks on powers were essential to the Framers, who established three equal but separate branches to ensure we always had a government “of the people, for the people and by the people.” But today we have people who are simply overgoverned – subjected to taxation, regulation and intrusions by a massive federal government that our Founding Fathers never would have tolerated. It wants to control what we eat, how we live and even how much we can earn. It values political correctness

over freedom, codependence over self-reliance, and redistribution of wealth over personal success. That’s why I said what I did that Sunday morning to that talk-show host. I told him I would love to have a government again that places the Constitution at the center of its mission, that recognizes government was never intended to intrude on every aspect of our lives. How do we reverse this creeping despair that we have drifted too far away from our founding principles? It’s simple. I think we must go back to the source of our great American experiment: the Constitution. In little more than 4,500 words, the Framers created a vision of government that preserves liberty first and foremost and also serves the basic needs of a republic. For 200 years, that document has guided this great nation through dark times and soaring success. For most of our history, schoolchildren were taught the guiding principles of the Constitution from the earliest age, and even members of Congress with controversial civil rights histories such

as the late Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia kept a copy in their jacket pockets to remind them of the responsibilities and limits of governance. On this Constitution Day, a wonderful holiday created with bipartisan support just a few short years ago, let’s recommit ourselves to rereading and appreciating our Constitution and to ensuring that our children and our children’s children grow up with the same appreciation we were given. Appreciation will help us all overcome the ignorant political correctness of a few media elites and governing officials who seem to dismiss the fundamental principles of a government that respects liberty first and foremost.

Bergen, versatile actress, singer dies NEW YORK — Emmywinning actress and singer Polly Bergen, who in a long career played the terrorized wife in the original “Cape Fear” and the first woman president in “Kisses for My President,” died Saturday, according to her publicist. She was 84. Bergen died at her home in Southbury, Connecticut, from natural causes, said publicist Judy Katz, surrounded by family and close friends. A brunette beauty with a warm, sultry singing voice, Bergen was a household name from her 20s onward. She made albums and played leading roles in films, stage musicals and TV dramas. She also hosted her own variety series, was a popular game show panelist, and founded a thriving beauty products company that bore her name. In recent years, she played Felicity Huffman’s mother on “Desperate Housewives” and the past mistress of Tony Soprano’s late father on “The Sopranos.” Bergen won an Emmy in 1958 portraying the tragic singer Helen Morgan on the famed anthology series “Playhouse 90.” She was nominated for another Emmy in 1989 for best supporting actress in a miniseries or special for “War and Remembrance.”

Intruder caught at White House door WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service is coming under intense scrutiny after a man who hopped the White House fence made it all the way through the front door before being apprehended. President Barack Obama and his daughters had just departed the White House on Friday evening when an intruder scaled the north fence, darted across the lawn and into the presidential residence, where agents nabbed him. The security

breach triggered a rare evacuation of much of the White House, with Secret Service officers drawing their guns as they rushed staffers and journalists out a side door. For the Secret Service, the incident was a devastating episode that prompted fresh questions about the storied agency and its ability to protect the president. The Republican Party’s Jason Chaffetz, who chairs the House of Representatives’ subpanel on national security oversight, called it “totally unacceptable” but said the incident was just one of a string of security failings on the Secret Service’s watch. “Unfortunately, they are failing to do their job,” Chaffetz said. “These are good men and women, but the Secret Service leadership has a lot of questions to answer.” “Was the door open?” he added incredulously. The Secret Service said the incident would be carefully reviewed to ensure proper protocols were followed.

Teams in California assess fire damage POLLOCK PINES, Calif. — Assessment teams hope to get an idea Saturday of just how many structures have been damaged or destroyed by a massive wildfire that threatens thousands of homes in Northern California. While officials confirmed that several structures have been lost in what is being called the King Fire, dangerous conditions have prevented them from determining an exact number, fire spokesman Mike McMillian said. The blaze began one week ago, and a man accused of starting the blaze is being held on $10 million bail. Although record amounts of retardant have been dropped on the fire that’s about 60

Across the State

miles from Sacramento, the blaze spread another 6 square miles overnight as forecasters say smoke from it could be seen in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nearly 5,000 firefighters — from as far as Florida and Alaska — are helping California crews battle the blaze that’s not only consumed grass and brush, but swaths of extremely dry tall timber.

Obama pushed to grow military effort WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s military campaign against the Islamic State group already has extended beyond the limits he first outlined. But military experts inside and outside the administration argue that an even greater expansion may be needed for the mission to succeed, including positioning U.S. ground troops with front-line Iraqi security forces. Doing that could put Obama close to violating his pledge to keep Americans out of combat. For Obama, reengaging in combat in Iraq would mean going back on promises about the current mission and undercutting a pillar of his presidency — ending long wars and avoid new ones. If commanders request ground troops and he turns them down, Obama could be accused of putting his legacy first. Obama has shown a willingness to expand the size and scope of the fight against the Islamic State extremist group. He first announced a limited airstrike campaign, but the U.S. now is pursuing targets across Iraq and is expected to push the attacks into Syria. About 1,600 U.S. troops have been sent to Iraq to train local security forces and protect U.S. personnel.

Shooting at store kills 2, injures 2 BATESVILLE — Two men are dead after an early Saturday shooting at a rural grocery store near Batesville. Panola County Coroner Gracie Grant-Gulledge says the dead men are 20-year-old Quendez Robinson and 24-yearold Rodrick Scurlock. Gulledge says Robinson died of a gunshot wound after being taken to TriLakes Medical Center, while Scurlock died at the store in the Curtis Station community, about 7 miles northwest of Batesville Both were shot about 1 a.m. at the Hilltop Grocery, where a party was apparently in progress. At least two other people were shot and are recovering. Panola County Sheriff Dennis Darby tells that two gang rivals may have argued. Deputies say a fifth person may have also been grazed by a bullet.

Work starts on bike, walk trail in Tupelo TUPELO — After months of planning, work has begun on the Tupelo Birthplace Trail. City leaders marked the occasion with ceremonial groundbreaking on Friday. The project will include bike lanes and sidewalks on East Main Street from Green Street to Veterans Boulevard. Also in the plan is construction of street parking along the route through downtown Tupelo. Funding for the project

will come in part from the Mississippi Department of Transportation.

Property swap lets Hinds College grow JACKSON — Hinds Community College will expand its nursing and allied health programs in Jackson after agreeing to move Mississippi State extension service employees to college property in Raymond. The Hinds County Board of Supervisors voted Sept. 2 to accept the swap. The college will gain use of 11.5 acres and two buildings. President Clyde Muse says one building will be renovated to house classrooms. The property adjoins the college’s current nursing and allied health programs near Central Mississippi Medical Center. The college could use the property for a surgical simulation center to help train students. Plans also call for a lodge for families of burn victims being treated at the hospital.

Council to market: Take food stamps VICKSBURG — Members of the Mayor’s Health Council hope to work out a plan under which the Vicksburg farmers market can accept electronic benefits transactions as part of a plan to improve the health of Vicksburg residents. “If we don’t get people healthier, they’re always going to be sick and depending on the government’s pockets,” said council member Vanessa Prentiss, who teaches health classes at Kings Empowerment Center. “This is our city, and we want our city to last and our people to last.” Council member Gail Kavanaugh, nutrition director for the Vicksburg Warren School District, told The Vicksburg Post the system could involve the farmers market manager accepting EBTs and issuing tokens that can be traded to market vendors, or allowing farmers to accept EBT payments at their booths.

CDC urges healthy adults to remember flu vaccine erwise healthy children, said Dr. Paul Offit of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. At least 100 U.S. children died of flu last year, only half of whom had lung conditions or other illnesses that put them at high risk and most of whom weren’t vaccinated. About half of pregnant women get vaccinated. The shot can be given during any trimester, and also protects the baby during the first few months of life, said obstetrician Dr. Laura Riley of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Who should be vaccinated

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s time for flu vaccine again and while it’s important for the whole family, this year health officials have some different advice for different ages: Certain kids should opt for the ouchless nasal spray. Seniors, expect to get a new kind of pneumonia shot along with that flu jab. And too many young and middle-age adults are skipping the vaccine altogether, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — even though there are more options than ever. “The best way to protect yourself against the flu is to get a flu vaccination,” said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden on Thursday, before rolling up his sleeve to get his own flu shot. Some things to know about flu vaccinations:

The government recommends a yearly flu vaccine for nearly everyone starting at 6 months of age. Yet only about half of Americans get one, a number Frieden called unfortunate. On average, the CDC estimates, flu kills about 24,000 Americans a year.

How many are Vaccination rates last year were highest for children under 5 — 70 percent — and for seniors — 65 percent, the CDC said. But just a third of healthy adults ages 18 to 64 got vaccinated and, surprisingly, last year hospitalizations were highest among that age group. About 55 percent of school-age children were vaccinated. Parents need to realize that flu vaccine is crucial even for oth-

The vaccine supply About 150 million doses are being shipped this year, with no signs of shortages or delays, Frieden said. About half will protect against four strains of influenza instead of the usual three, he said, as U.S. manufacturers move

toward vaccines with that extra bit of protection. CDC doesn’t recommend one over the other.

Which kind to choose For the first time this year, the CDC says the ouchless FluMist nasal spray version is the preferred vaccine for healthy children ages 2 to 8, after research showed it works a little better for them. But don’t wait if your doctor has only the shot — just get them vaccinated, said Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. FluMist also can be used by healthy people ages 2 through 49 who aren’t pregnant. If a squirt up the nose isn’t for you, there are lots of other options: the regular shot; an egg-free shot for those allergic to eggs; a high-dose shot just for

those 65 and older whose immune systems may need an extra boost; and a tinyneedle shot that just penetrates the skin. The Food and Drug Administration also recently approved a needle-free injector to deliver flu vaccine, although it’s not clear how soon it will be widely available.

New advice for seniors This year, the CDC is urging people 65 and older to get a new kind of pneumonia vaccine along with their flu shot. Children already receive Pfizer’s Prevnar-13 to prevent a kind of bacteria, called pneumococcus, that can cause pneumonia, meningitis and other infections. Now seniors need a one-time dose, too. That’s in addition to a one-time dose of another long-used pneumonia vaccine, called a polysaccharide vaccine. The ca-

veat: The two pneumonia shots have to be given at least six months apart. If you’ve had neither so far, get the new kind first — along with this year’s flu shot — and come back later for the second pneumonia vaccine, advised Schaffner.

When to get vaccinated “Now’s the time,” Frieden said. It’s impossible to predict when flu will start spreading and it takes about two weeks for protection to kick in. Flu season typically peaks in January or February.

What’s the cost The vaccine is covered by insurance and Medicare, usually without a copay. For the uninsured, it can cost about $30. Schaffner advised checking public health clinics for free or reduced-cost shots.

3 guilty in salmonella peanut trial Ocean Springs mayor’s wedding nears BY RUSS BYNUM Associated Press

ALBANY, Ga. — A federal jury convicted the owner of a peanut plant and two others Friday in a salmonella outbreak that prompted one of the largest U.S. food recalls ever, sickened hundreds across the country and was linked to several deaths. Experts say the sevenweek trial in Albany, Georgia, marked the first time corporate executives and plant workers were tried in a food poisoning case. Former Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell was convicted on numerous counts including conspiracy,

wire fraud and obstruction of justice related to shipping tainted peanut butter to customers and faking results of lab tests intended to screen for salmonella. His brother, Michael Parnell, was also found guilty on multiple charges related to the false lab results, but was acquitted of shipping salmonella-tainted food. The jury also found Mary Wilkerson, the plant’s quality assurance manager, guilty of obstruction of justice for hiding information about the plant’s salmonella problems from investigator. But Wilkerson was acquitted on one of two obstruction counts she faced.

The case has been closely followed by the food industry and could rattle some executives, said Bill Marler, an attorney who has represented victims of food-borne illnesses for two decades, including many who got sick after eating Peanut Corporation’s food. “I think the fact that these guys were charged with felonies and have now been convicted of felonies and obviously are going to face some substantial potential for jail time and fines, I think, sends a pretty strong message to the food industry that U.S. attorneys are willing to charge people with crimes,” Marler said.

OCEAN SPRINGS — Connie Moran’s wedding is less than a month away. The beautiful, hand-written invitations are long sent. The Ocean Springs mayor and her Alabama fiance, Jack Rosen, who recently committed to living in Ocean Springs, are headed to the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Ala., to finalize the arrangements with the hotel’s events planner and chef. They will have Ocean Springs florist (Chez) Charles Young in tow. Moran said she chose the site because her parents honeymooned at the famous hotel in 1949. The staff is searching the guest books from that year to find her parents’ signatures. The mayor has been married before. Her daughter, Magdeleine,

is from her marriage to John Henry of Columbus. She said she had the usual apprehensions at first, marrying again at 58 with a more seasoned, realistic view of life. “But I feel younger than I have in years,” Moran said after announcing her engagement in April. Rosen proposed in New Orleans, after climbing an orange tree to pick an orange for her. (That’s why orange is prominent in her wedding scheme.) “I liked him from the first,” she said. “He has an excellent sense of humor, and he’s a great dancer, all the things a woman my age dreams about.” They met at a 2012 New Year’s Eve party and dated for more than a year. Rosen’s family has lived in Mobile for several generations. He is 54, loves history and has four grown children. Their courtship withstood the

Ocean Springs-to-Mobile travel and a full-tilt reelection campaign, in which the Democrat won her third term in office. “He’s been through it all and knows what it’s like,” she said. “He doesn’t like it if people give me a tough time. But I say that’s just part of being mayor. It’s just politics. “I’m used to fending for myself. It’s nice for a change to have someone who’s got your back,” she said. “... and he does.” Moran is a very public figure and her invitation list reflects that — aldermen, councilmen and city department heads. She has chartered a bus to haul friends from Ocean Springs on that Saturday, Oct. 11. Moran sees a short, formal service with 110 guests, beginning at 2 minutes and 32 seconds past noon, as dictated on the invitation.

rescue. In addition to their patronage of the festival, attendees can aid the shelter by making pet food

and monetary donations. “We will also be taking orders for the shelter’s newest calendar,” said Doehner. Growing in popularity, the colorful calendars contain pictures of local pets and animals who are in need of rescue. Amateur photographers will see their art displayed as the Crossroads Museum shows off this year’s winners. The shelter volunteers are looking forward to the event and hope to see a good turn-out. “Come dance with us, have a beer and brat and join in on the fun,” said the director. “It’s a great opportunity to get away for a few hours, all while helping animals in need.”

Experts say science can dazzle with less danger BY DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

DENVER — A dazzling show of fire and color can make science come alive for young students, but it can also inflict serious and painful injuries, as flash fires in Nevada and Colorado showed this month. Educators and investigators say some teachers lack the training required by law and don’t know about standard safety measures that can dramatically lower the inherent dangers of hands-on experiments — experiments they say are vital to science education. “You’ve got to have it hands-on, but you have to make it a safer experience through that training,” said Ken Roy, a safety consultant for the National Science Teachers Association and a longtime teacher. Four students were injured, one seriously, when a teacher was pouring methanol onto a table top and igniting it during a chemistry class demonstration Monday at Denver’s Science, Math and Arts Academy, a charter high school. A 4-foot jet of flame erupted out of the methanol bottle and burned one of the students, investigators said. School officials said the student’s parents asked them not to release any information about his condition. On Sept. 3, 13 people, mostly children, were burned by a methanolfueled flash fire during a science demonstration at the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum in Reno. Daniel Horowitz, managing director of the U.S.

Chemical Safety Board, said the board has not been able to find any national standards for teacher training and procedures. Schools and museums are not required to report such incidents, so no one knows for sure how often they happen. Jim Kaufman, president of the nonprofit Laboratory Safety Institute, estimates that about five methanol-related accidents occur in high school labs every year. The Chemical Safety Board, which investigates chemical accidents, said it knows of at least 11 methanol-related fires in science demonstrations since 2000, and more are coming to light amid the news of the Reno and Denver fires. The Denver teacher wanted the table top fire to be bigger, so he was pouring more methanol from a gallon-size jug when the chemical inside the container caught fire, said Mark Wingard, a Chemical Safety Board investigator. The heat expanded the methanol in-

side the jug, and it erupted in a stream out of the narrow opening, said Dan Tillema, another board investigator. The teacher had minor injuries and declined medical treatment, officials said. Methanol, a form of alcohol, is often used as a fuel source for a popular classroom demonstration that shows how different chemicals emit different colors when they burn. But it emits flammable vapor at temperatures as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit, experts say, making it dangerous. Safer alternatives to methanol are available, Roy said, but methanol is commonly used because it’s convenient and because many teachers learned the experiment that way. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires school districts to train and supervise teachers who handle hazardous chemicals like methanol, Roy said, but many schools don’t have training and no one is keeping track.

Â NEW YORK â€” Itâ€™s easy to dismiss Appleâ€™s new iPhones as merely catching up to Android. After all, phones running Googleâ€™s Android system long have had larger screens. In addition, many Android phones already have the wireless chips that

iPhones are getting for making credit card payments without pulling out a card at retail stores. But the new iPhones are a big deal for one simple reason: Only Apple has the advantage of building both the hardware and the software, so iPhones are easier to use and more dependable. There are many flavors of Android out there, and some phones wonâ€™t run the latest apps or work with accessories such as smartwatches. In addition, many leading apps come to the iPhone first or have features exclusive to iPhones. Android phones still have some advantages. Samsungâ€™s flagship phones are still slightly larger than the new iPhones, for instance. Their cameras have higher megapixel counts â€” though thatâ€™s just one factor in what makes a good photo. What the new iPhones do is eliminate screen size as a reason to avoid iPhones. The question, then, becomes: Which one? The iPhone 5, 5s and 5c have screens measuring 4 inches diagonally. The iPhone 6 boosts that to 4.7 inches, while the iPhone 6 Plus is at 5.5 inches. Yet the new phones are thinner than the smaller models. Apple gets rid of glass in the back in favor of an all-aluminum body with curved edges. The new iPhones donâ€™t feel as boxy as previous models. And the new phones make good use of the larger screens. Those with poorer eyesight can choose a â€œzoomâ€? option so that everything gets blown up to fill the extra space, just like larger Android phones. Otherwise, you can fit in more content, including an extra row of icons on the home screen. The iPhone 6 Plus also allows apps to rearrange their layout in horizontal mode. Content appears in two columns, so youâ€™re not switching back and forth as much. The drawback: The Plus is huge for those who donâ€™t regularly carry a backpack or purse. I personally find past iPhones easier to carry and fit in the pocket, especially when I go out running. Apple will still make last yearâ€™s 5s and 5c available, at reduced prices. The 5c is essentially 2-year-old technology, so the 5s is the better option.
