Man indicted on fondling charges BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Grand Jury recently returned an in-

dictment on fondling charges against a Corinth man. Billy Ray Prather, 58, of Burns Road, was arrested on

Sept. 14 when the indictment was served. He is out on bond. Corinth Police Capt. Dell Green said the complaint was

made June 25 by a 17-year-old individual who accused Prather of inappropriate touching during a period of three years.

Council effort proceeds

The case was presented to the next session of the grand jury in mid-August, resulting in a twocount indictment for fondling.

Crossroads Regional Park picked up honors for its expansion and new soccer program at the annual convention of the Mississippi Recreation & Park Association. Presented last week in Biloxi, the awards are the first for Corinth-Alcorn Parks and Recreation to be earned from the MRPA. The honors are in the highest population class for population of 35,000 or more, putting the park up against larger municipal parks. “The character that these awards have gives your department, your city, the recognition that they are moving in the right direction by oﬀering things,” said Park Director Ray Holloway, who was excited to bring home two plaques. “This will help the complex go far.” It’s another step toward attracting tournament play, he said. The park received the Hayward “Bo” Phillips design award of merit for the expan-

The proposed “council of governments” is still in development. Chancery Clerk Greg Younger had considered an Oct. 1 first meeting, but it will be at a later date. The last few weeks have not allowed time for the planning it deserves, he said, and he hopes to see some of the municipal leaders get involved in the planning and preparation. The council would have no legal authority, but Younger believes it would be a great networking opportunity for leaders of the county and its municipalities. In addition to the elected leaders of the county and Corinth, Farmington, Rienzi, Glen and Kossuth, the meeting would likely include both the city and county school boards and superintendents, the local legislators, Magnolia Regional Health Center, ACE Power, Corinth Gas & Water and the rural water associations.

Students visit history at camp BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Some local middle school students are getting a chance to walk in the footsteps of history this week at the Corinth Contraband camp. The educational activities are presented by a partnership between LINK and the National Park Service. “We are excited to continue our partnership with LINK

Corinth-Alcorn County to present education programs at the Contraband Camp for the city and county 5th grade students,” said NPS Supervisory Park Ranger Ashley Berry. “The National Park Service staﬀ worked very hard to develop experiential learning activities for the students. Students were able to interact with the Rangers and participate in activities similar to

the daily life tasks of the men, women and children living at the camp in 1862 to 1864.” The students learned about diﬀerent aspects of life for the newly freed slaves at the Contraband Camp by participating in diﬀerent ranger-led activities at four stations which correspond with the statues Please see CAMP | 6

Today in History Today is Saturday, Oct. 1, the 275th day of 2016. There are 91 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 1, 1939, Winston Churchill described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” during a radio address on the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

On this date: In 1932, Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees made his supposed called shot, hitting a home run against Chicago’s Charlie Root in the fifth inning of Game 3 of the World Series, won by the New York Yankees 7-5 at Wrigley Field. In 1940, the first section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike — described as America’s first superhighway — opened to the public, stretching 160 miles from Carlisle to Irwin. In 1961, Roger Maris of the New York Yankees hit his 61st home run during a 162-game season, compared to Babe Ruth’s 60 home runs during a 154-game season. (Tracy Stallard of the Boston Red Sox gave up the round-tripper; the Yankees won 1-0.) In 1964, the Free Speech Movement began at the University of California, Berkeley. Japan’s first high-speed “bullet train,” the Tokaido Shinkansen, went into operation between Tokyo and Osaka. In 1971, Walt Disney World opened near Orlando, Florida. In 1994, National Hockey League team owners began a 103-day lockout of their players.

Booneville Booneville schools consider pre-K plan BOONEVILLE — The Booneville School District is moving ahead with a plan to create a pre-kindergarten program beginning with the next school year. Superintendent Dr. Todd English told the district’s board of trustees they are continuing to plan to begin offering a need-based pre-k program to give the district’s

most underprivileged a solid start as they begin their educations. English told the board the program will be limited to students from lowincome families based on those who qualify for free or reduced cost lunch. They are discussing options for how the program will work including possibly collaborating with the local Headstart program. Also in the works for the district is another application for the statewide Districts of Innovation program. English said they plan to apply for the program in collaboration with the Baldwyn School District with a program focusing on career readiness and academic improvements in both districts by sharing resources between the districts.

Michie Michie ARISE2Read program a success MICHIE, Tenn. — The ARISE2Read program

has gotten off to a great start at Michie School this month. The new program is geared to improving the reading of second graders at the school and help prepare them for proficiency tests next year. “We are very happy with the way ARISE2Read has gotten started at our school,” said Lorrie Bodiford, a reading interventionist for Grades K-3 at the school. “It has gotten off to an even better start than I had expected when we began working on the program.” Bodiford became aware of the program through a connection of her daughter Chelsea Bodiford. Chelsea, a basketball player for Union University’s Lady Bulldogs, learned about Arise2Read while helping Debbie Currie with the reading program in Jackson. Currie does the weekly devotional for the Lady Bulldogs basketball team. “Chelsea called me and told me that she

Tupelo Agency may control Hancock pensions TUPELO — Hancock Fabrics has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy of Delaware, asking it to approve an agreement in which the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation takes over its under-funded pension plan. Hancock, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February and later moved to liquidate, essentially went out of business on July 31 after the rest of its stores closed. When it filed for Chapter 11 on Feb. 2, Hancock listed debt of $182 million and assets of $151.4 million. Its pension plan was underfunded by $41.6 million. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

spokesman Mark Hopkins tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal PBGC guarantees private defined-benefit pensions much like the FDIC insures money deposited in banks up to a certain amount.

New Albany Union County solar farm gets approval NEW ALBANY — Mississippi Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley has approved a $3.7 million, 30-acre solar farm in New Albany. Presley, in a news release Wednesday, said the farm will generate enough electricity, from the sun, to power 250 homes. The facility will be located on land near the Wal-Mart Distribution Center and have approximately 6,600 solar panels. The facility will be constructed by SR New Albany LLC and interconnect with Northeast Mississippi Electric Power Association.

Corinth, Miss.

The media freaks out We are in the midst of an epic media freakout. It is a subset of a larger liberal panic over Donald Trump’s strength in the general election. The mood of the centerleft is, “America, how dare you?” The outraged incomprehension is seeping into and, increasingly, driving the coverage of the race. The freakout began a few Rich weeks ago when Donald Lowry Trump started to close the polling gap with Hillary ClinNational ton, and picked up intensity as Review the race essentially became a tie. The media is going to be in a perpetual state of high anxiety and dudgeon until Election Day. The press is playing catch-up. It didn’t take much foresight to realize that giving Trump $2 billion worth of free publicity in his primary battle might help him win his party’s nomination. Still, it was all fun and games as long as the ratings were good and Trump trailed Hillary. “This is not normal,” you’ll hear it said over and over about Trump (often correctly). But did anyone think it was normal when Trump said Ted Cruz was ineligible to run for president? Or questioned Ben Carson’s faith? Nonetheless, according to an analysis by the Shorenstein Center, most coverage of Trump in the first half of 2016 was “positive or neutral in tone.” Not anymore. There have been two seminal events in the freakout. The first was the absurdly over-the-top criticism of Matt Lauer for not being tough enough on Trump at an NBC national-security forum. Lauer couldn’t have satisfied his critics short of slapping Trump in the face and demanding, “Have you no sense of decency, sir?” The second was a New York Times “news analysis” on Trump’s disavowal of birtherism that was intended as an exemplary act of journalistic aggression -- a rhetorical assault worthy of the poison pen of Maureen Dowd that led the paper with the extremely hostile headline, “Trump Gives Up a Lie, But Refuses to Repent.” Some of the anti-Trumpism in the press has been expressed in pointless and annoying gestures, such as CNN’s practice of fact-checking Trump’s statements in snarky chyrons. I’ll believe that this reflects the network’s disinterested pursuit of truth as soon as I see a CNN chyron declaring: “Clinton: Tax Cuts Caused the Financial Crisis (They Didn’t).” More significantly, Lester Holt tilted antiTrump during the debate. Trump got tougher questions than Clinton, who was spared queries on matters such as the Clinton Foundation and Benghazi. And he fact-checked Trump in real time twice, arguably getting his correction of Trump about a complex stopand-frisk case wrong. Outlets are more and more using the formerly thermonuclear word “lie” in their coverage of Trump, and liberal analysts are hailing the end of he said/she said journalism. Trump is indeed a diﬀerent kind of animal and has stressed every institution that has encountered him over the past year, from the Republican National Committee to rival campaigns to the press. But the current media freakout is hard to take, and a mistake. One, it is galling, since the media is collectively deciding to give up on an objectivity that it never had. John McCain and Mitt Romney, upstanding, honorable men who weren’t allegedly threats to the republic, were on the receiving end of more negative coverage than Barack Obama. Two, it speaks to a certain contempt for the media’s fellow citizens, who are presumed incapable of rationally evaluating the candidates without its thumb on the scale. Three, if Trump loses, the press will go right back to its pose of objectivity. Whereas the only good thing about the media’s current jag is that it might represent movement toward a more British-style (and traditional Americanstyle) journalism, with outlets forthrightly acknowledging their partisan allegiances. Nothing is going to dissuade the press from its current course, though. There is no reasoning with fear and loathing. Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, help me to get away from doubt that leads to despair. Give me a vision of hope that is stayed on faith. May I be conscious and appreciative of my privileges while they come to me and make them immortal. Amen.

A verse to share For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live! — Ezekiel 18:32

Report eyes sluggish state tax revenues STARKVILLE — Does the Mississippi Legislature bear some responsibility for the impact that tax cuts have had on sluggish state tax revenues? Absolutely. Most lawmakers accept their share of responsibility for those tax cut ramifications. But a recent report from the Rockefeller Institute of Government at the State University of New York suggested that Mississippi and some 35 other states aren’t facing budget woes for the sole reason of tax cuts. The Rockefeller Institute report indicated that nationally, tax revenues on primarily sales, personal income and corporate income declined by 2.1 percent in the second quarter after growing just 1.6 percent in the first quarter compared with the same quarters in 2015. The report predicted: “States are likely to reduce their (revenue) forecasts when they next update them.” In summary language, the reported concluded: “The sharp declines in oil prices and the weak stock market appear to be the primary causes of the depressed state tax revenues. This weakening raises a yellow flag for state budgets.” From a national perspective, revenue streams have

been impacted by the following factors: ■ State tax revenue growth Sid Salter slowed significantly in Columnist the second half of 2015 and in the first half of 2016. Year-over-year growth was 1.6 percent in the first quarter of 2016. ■ Personal income tax revenue growth slowed to 1.8 percent on a year-over-year basis. From 2015 to 2016, Mississippi personal income tax revenues were down in April 28.9 percent year over year and down 23.8 percent from the projected collections to actual collections. ■ Growth was weak in sales tax collections, at 2.4 percent, and motor fuels tax at 2.0 percent. Corporate income taxes declined by 4.5 percent. Mississippi’s sales tax growth was 1.1 percent ■ Preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2016 indicate declines in state tax collections, at 2.1 percent. Personal income tax declined by 3.3 percent in the second quarter of 2016, caused by the weak stock market. ■ States project weak growth in tax collections in 2017. The median forecast of income tax and sales tax

growth is at 4.0 and 3.8 percent, respectively. Notably, Mississippi quarterly state tax revenues measured year over year from first quarter 2015 to first quarter 2016 showed corporate income tax down 13.4 percent and motor fuel tax down 6.3 percent while personal income tax was up 2.2 percent and sales tax was up 1.1 percent. Preliminary quarterly state tax revenue for the second quarter showed Mississippi flat at .04 percent growth year over years from 2015 to 2016, but showed corporate income tax down 26.6 percent and personal income tax down 1.1 percent. Sales tax showed year over year growth in the second quarter of 2.4 percent in preliminary numbers. Already in the current fiscal year, Gov. Phil Bryant ordered cuts averaging about 1.6 percent to most state agencies’ budgets to cover a $57 million “accounting error” lawmakers found after they adopted the $6 billion state budget for the fiscal year that began in July. The Legislature is taking a hard look at both taxing and spending under the leadership of House Speaker Philip Gunn and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who have created special budget and tax

panels to look for ways to either cut spending or reform tax laws. Is the state’s current problem Mississippi’s tax structure, influenced by the tax cuts, or is it the performance of the tax structure based on the economy? Or is it realistically both? Democrats have accused Republican leaders of sole responsibility for the state’s budget woes based on tax cuts they formulated and led to passage. Bryant and GOP legislative leaders have blamed the national economy and long-term growth in government spending for the shortfalls. The Rockefeller Institute study lends credence to GOP claims that the national economy – particularly in the energy sector – contributed to declining tax revenues both in Mississippi and nationally. The worth of the Legislature’s ongoing review of taxing and spending is that future tax cuts adopted but not yet implemented remain in reach of lawmakers seeking to balance Mississippi tax structure with the current economic realities.

Mabus satisfied with career OXFORD — One night Ray Mabus was on the veranda of the presidential palace in Mexico City observing that nation’s independence day fireworks with the president of Mexico. The next he was in Mississippi to announce that two to-be-minted Navy ships will bear the names of Medal of Honor recipients from his home state. Mabus, who turns 68 in October, is nearing the end of a nomadic career in public service. He grew up in Ackerman, graduated from Ole Miss, earned a master’s from Johns Hopkins and left Harvard Law with a magna cum laude degree. It was all because, he said with humility, he was fortunate to grow up in a family that valued knowledge and education. After serving as a staﬀer to the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, he was tapped to join the administration of William Winter in 1979. During Winter’s tenure, he was tagged as one of the governor’s “Boys of Spring,” a term that aptly described Winter’s young, energetic, positive and upbeat staﬀ. The next stop for Mabus was the statewide elected position of Auditor of Public Accounts. That served as a springboard, as it has for others, into the Governor’s Mansion. He was 39, the youngest governor in

America. Four years later, Mississippi voters ended their string of more than Charlie a century of Mitchell Democratic governors Columnist by opting for Kirk Fordice. That sent Mabus back into federal service as President Bill Clinton’s choice for ambassador to Saudi Arabia. In the run-up to the 2008 election, Mabus jumped ship (sorry) from the Clinton armada and endorsed and worked for the election of a largely unknown junior senator from Illinois. Pundits and experts nationwide were saying there was no way a first-termer could out-politick the Clintons, that this Barack Obama guy was no match for Hillary. But we know how that turned out, don’t we? Mabus’ reward from the new president was appointment as the civilian head of the U.S. Navy and, with that, the Marine Corps. The coming change in administrations (Hillary Clinton would definitely not reappoint him) means, if nothing else, an exit for Mabus. He said he would leave before the end of President Obama’s term, but that’s protocol. Regardless, he’s

the longest-serving Secretary of the Navy since World War I. His position with the military is administrative, not tactical. No uniforms, ribbons, salutes. But what he described as a “cool” perk is authority to name ships. Some classes of naval vessels are categorized – subs, for example, are named for states. Some will remember that Mabus made headlines for some of his 86 choices. There was a protest when support vessels were named for Harvey Milk, America’s first openly gay elected official, and for Cesar Chavez, activist who created a union for farm workers. There was no protest, however, and hopefully there was even some sense of justice when, early in his tenure, Mabus announced that a cargo ship would be named for Medgar Evers, who was murdered in Jackson in 1963 while working for voting rights. There will certainly be no protests over the yet-to-bebuilt destroyers, the Jack Lucas and the Louis Wilson. Lucas was under-age when he faked his way into the Marines. He was about to be sent home to Hattiesburg when he stowed away on a ship. As it happened, the ship was leaving Hawaii for a place called Iwo Jima. During the assault, Lucas

grabbed two incoming grenades and shoved them down into the volcanic sand, saving the lives of all around him. After being discharged from the Marines, Lucas joined the Army and fought in Europe. When he returned to Mississippi, he resumed his education — in the ninth grade. Wilson, of Brandon, demonstrated valor on Guam when his company dug in and defeated a larger and better-armed enemy force. Wilson remained in the service, rose through the ranks and later served as commandant of the Marine Corps. All though much of his past has been in politics, Mabus said he doesn’t think any of his future will be — at least not in any elected or appointed post. He logged 1.3 million miles in his current job and plans to spend more time with his family. Perhaps, he said, they will no longer require him to wear a name tag at family events. Advice for his home state? Unchanged: Focus on education. Even the military has no jobs for “strong bodies and weak minds” anymore, he said. Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

and thousands came in search of freedom. On this caravan and walking tour, participants will visit several historic homes and sites that witnessed the battle and learn about the civilians of Civil War Corinth. • 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. – Fight at Battery F Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: 200 yards.Type of Terrain: Short distances on an easy grassy slope. In July 1862, Henry Halleck ordered the construction of a defensive line of artillery redoubts to protect Corinth against any force approaching from the west and south. By late summer, all six of the redoubts were constructed including Battery F. Park Ranger Tom Parson will lead a driving tour to Battery F to explore events which occurred in and around this location. The program will discuss the construction of the Halleck line, Brig. Gen. John McArthur’s counter attack northwest of Battery F, Brig. Gen. John C. Moore’s attack on Battery F and the later defense of the battery by Crocker’s Iowa Brigade. • 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Davies’ Thin Blue Line. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: Car Caravan. Type of Terrain: Short distances of easy walking. On the morning of October 3rd Brigadier General Thomas Davies was sent forward by Major General William Rosecrans with confusing orders and 1,500 men to hold the Union right against an attack by Confederate Major General Sterling Price’s Army of the West with 9,000 men. Overwhelmed at the old Confederate earthworks, Davies would pull back to the White House line to make a stand. Aided by hard fighting, intense heat, and Confederate command confusion, Davies men would hold until relieved at 4:30 p.m. During this stand Brigadier General Charles Hamilton would have a perfect opportunity to attack the exposed Confederate left flank. Due to a series of confused orders and Hamilton’s lack of initiative, the attack would be bungled and occur too late. The car caravan lead by Ranger Timothy Arnold will travel to the site of the Confederate earthworks of the old Beauregard Line and the site of the fighting at the White House fields.

Tuesday, Oct. 4 10 p.m. to 10:30 a.m. – Daniel Murray and the 1st U.S. Infantry. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: 100 yards. Type of Terrain: Easy on a grassy slope.

The historic railroad crossing at the Depot in Corinth is a centerpiece of local history. Join Ranger Tom Parson as he gives a firstperson account of Daniel Murray, an Irish immigrant and American solider. Daniel describes his life in the Regular Army at the outbreak of the war through the fighting at Battery Robinett. Prior to the Civil War Daniel served in Indian Territory and fought at the battle of Wilson’s Creek, Missouri. During the Battle of Corinth, he was one of 26 men from Company C, 1st U.S. Infantry, who was manning the heavy artillery inside of Battery Robinett. • 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. – Battery Robinett: The Confederate Perspective. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: Car Caravan. Type of Terrain: Easy on grassy slopes. The climax of the Battle of Corinth was in front of the small fort known as Battery Robinett. Join Park Ranger Tom Parson and experience this tragic assault in the words of the Confederate soldiers who fought here. Oﬃcers and enlisted men of the 42nd Alabama Infantry and the 9th Texas Cavalry were among the survivors of the battle and they recorded their harrowing experience in letters and journals. The walk will follow the route of this desperate charge all the way to the very ditch in front of Battery Robinett. This program will take place 154 years to the hour of the actual charge. • 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. – Stirman’s Arkansas Sharpshooters. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: 700 yards. Type of Terrain: Easy on a grassy slope and concrete. Join Volunteer Jim Minor for a walking tour from the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center to the historic railroad crossing. This program will discuss General Earl Van Dorn’s orders to establish a sharpshooter battalion as well as explore Col. Ras Stirman’s Arkansas Sharpshooters’ flanking movement, penetration of the Union lines, and ultimate arrival

at the strategic crossroads. The discussion will also look at the movements of Dee’s Michigan Battery and the 5th Minnesota Infantry. • 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. – Wager Swayne and the Medal of Honor. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: 200 yards. Type of Terrain: Easy on a grassy slope. Join Ranger Tom Parson on a short walk to discover the challenges faced by Lt.

Wednesday, Oct. 5 • 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. – Hell on the Hatchie: Davis Bridge. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Driving Distance: 35 miles round trip. Hiking Distance: Car Caravan and a half mile of walking. Type of Terrain: Easy walking on a path and dirt road. Following the Battle of Corinth, the Confederate Army of West Tennessee was in full retreat. The heavy fighting at the Battle of Corinth, Oct. 3 and 4, 1862, had crippled the army under Major General Earl Van Dorn and he sought to return to Mississippi to rest and refit his forces. The path to safety led across Davis Bridge on the Hatchie River in Tennessee. In an eﬀort to block the Confederate escape, a Union column under Major General Edward O. C. Ord was dispatched from Bolivar, Tennessee. Park Ranger Tom Parson will lead this car caravan tour and short walk of the Davis Bridge Battlefield. • 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. – Flags of Corinth. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center Hiking Distance: None. Type of Terrain: None. Join Ranger Tom Parson in a discussion of the various flags used in the Battle of Corinth. In the 1890’s a controversy began over the capture of the 9th Texas Cavalry

flag by Orrin Gould of the 27th Ohio Infantry. Veterans of the 9th Texas Cavalry disputed the captured flag was from their regiment and claimed it actually came from the 2nd Texas Infantry. The recent announcement of the discovery and preservation of the flag of the 2nd Texas Infantry may finally put an end to the disagreement. • 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. – First Steps of Freedom: Corinth Contraband Camp. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. Hiking Distance: a fourth of a mile. Type of Terrain: Easy on a level sidewalk. The migration of African American refugees into occupied Corinth dramatically increased following issuance of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862. To accommodate the refugees, Union Gen. Grenville M. Dodge established a camp northeast of town. Join park volunteer Patrice Gaines to explore the camp and to discover how the Corinth Contraband Camp was the first step on the road to freedom for thousands of people. • 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. – Caring for the Wounded and Dead. Meet at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center Auditorium. Hiking Distance: None. Type of Terrain: None. Three days of fighting at Corinth and Davis Bridge resulted in over 8,000 men killed, wounded or captured. Many of the wounded were taken to Corinth’s homes and hotels which had been pressed into service as hospitals. This power point presentation, led by Ranger Rachel Winters, will discuss some of these impromptu hospitals, such as the Tishomingo Hotel, Corinth House, and Corona Female College, and the people who served in them. In the days following the battle, over 900 fresh graves were dug. This program will discuss the burial process for those fallen soldiers, both Union and Confederate.

at the site. Students participated in activities that included handling the laundry of the camp, farming, a period school room and rifle drill for newly-enlisted soldiers. Shiloh National Military Park Superintendent Dale Wilkerson was on hand to observe some of the activities on Tuesday. Wilkerson praised the handson aspects of the program and expressed a hope that such events will help bring an appreciation of history to the young students and the community as a whole. “It helps them see how the people here actually lived. At the laundry station, kids get to actually scrub a little bit. At the farming one, the kids are shucking some corn,” said Wilkerson. “And when you reach the kids, you reach the parents. When these kids get home tonight, this will be what they’re talking about.” The activities continued all week with students from Corinth, Biggersville, Alcorn Central and Kossuth. For more information about upcoming activities at the Corinth Unit of Shiloh National Military Park call the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center at 287-9273 or visit www.nps.gov/shil.

Slain copâ€™s widow will inspect vest ATLANTA â€” The widow of a slain Georgia police officer hopes to learn more about why his ballistic vest didnâ€™t save him from gunshots. Bullets pierced Police Officer Kevin Jordanâ€™s back, even though that area of his body was covered by his vest during the 2014 shooting outside a Waffle House in the west Georgia town of Griffin, his wife, Tammy Jordan, and her lawyer maintain in an ongoing federal lawsuit. The case comes as police agencies nationwide consider upgrading their protection over concerns that current gear can be pierced by high-powered weapons. In Atlanta, for instance, Mayor Kasim Reed in August announced plans to spend $1.9 million for new helmets and vests able to stop rifle rounds. The Georgia lawsuit names as a defendant Michigan-based Armor Express. In court documents, the company denied that one of its vests failed to meet standards.

Teen held in fatherâ€™s death, school attack ANDERSON, S.C. â€” A 14-year-old South Carolina boy was charged as a juvenile Friday with murder and three counts of attempted murder after authorities say he killed his father and opened fire on students at a school playground, wounding three people. The boy did not show any emotion as he walked into the courtroom wearing a yellow

jumpsuit. He was unrestrained, not wearing handcuffs or leg shackles, as required by state law in most juvenile cases. His lawyer, Frank Epps, noted that the teen has given a statement to law enforcement and asked that investigators not question him again without his lawyer present. The judge agreed to that, and ordered the teen to be held in jail. The boyâ€™s mother sat on the front row during the brief hearing and left the courtroom sobbing and leaning on another woman. The Associated Press typically does not identify juveniles charged with crimes. Authorities say the teen shot his 47-yearold father Jeffrey Osborne at their home on Wednesday afternoon before driving a pickup truck 3 miles down a country road to Townville Elementary.

Judge: Bieber must sit for deposition MIAMI â€” A Florida judge has ordered pop star Justin Bieber to sit down for a deposition within the next 30 days or face the threat of being arrested and brought to court.

The photographerâ€™s attorney says he has been unable to get Bieber to sit for the deposition. Attorney Mark DiCowden says Bieber
