Behind the Pink Ribbon Crash claims life of Glen woman BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A Glen woman died this week following a crash at the Five Points intersection east of Corinth. Ozella Wilbanks Pady, 80, died on Wednesday at Magnolia Regional Health Center following the crash, said Coroner Jay Jones. It happened about 5:20 p.m. when a vehicle in which Pady was a passenger was

making a turn from Farmington Baptist Church Road onto Kendrick Road and was broadsided by another vehicle, Jones said. A native of Tippah County, Pady had lived in Glen for the past 12 years. She was a former Wurlitzer employee and a member of Brand New Life Church in Corinth. Funeral services are 2 p.m. Monday at New Covenant Christian Church in Falkner.

After a successful summer event, Crossroads Museum and the Daily Corinthian are teaming up again to host a Community Yard Sale. Set for Saturday, Oct. 17, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., the yard sale will give area residents a chance to get rid of some unneeded items and benefit the museum at the same time. “We had a really good turn out of vendors and customers in June, so we decided to have a yard sale in the fall as well,” said museum board president Cathy Wood. “The plan right now is to hold the Community Yard Sale twice a year -- one in the spring and one in the fall.” Proceeds from 10x10 booth spaces will benefit the museum’s Save the Fire Truck Campaign, which will help house a 1924 American

LaFrance pumper fire truck on loan from the City of Corinth. Booth space is $20. The yard sale will be held at the CARE Garden and Historic Depot at 221 North Fillmore Street in downtown Corinth. “Unlike Green Market, the yard sale will not be governed,” said Wood. “People will be able to sell what ever they want.” Items such as clothing, furniture, glassware, antiques, toys, electronics, handcrafted items, baked and food goods and commercial products are a sample of things which can be sold.

County hazardous waste day aids public and environment BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Hundreds of gallons of oil, thousands of pounds of poisons and various other hazards are steering clear of the environment in Alcorn County thanks to last weekend’s household hazardous waste disposal day. “When we opened the gates at 8 a.m. and we had cars lined up down the highway and over the bridge, we were very encouraged that this is a service that is needed,” said Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful Director Andrea Rose. “We are

looking at the possibility of doing it every six months, but at least every fall.” That will depend on the availability of support from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, which is the source of funding for disposal days in Alcorn County. Looking ahead, Rose said KCAB will put some thought into ways to streamline the event to reduce the wait time. This year saw 194 vehicles pass through the recycling area, down a little from last year’s total, with the long line possibly being a factor.

Electronics, tires, paint and oil were the most popular items residents turned in for recycling. Old TVs, computers and other electronics piled up to a total of 8,904 pounds. “That’s what we get the most calls about during the year — people looking to dispose of their electronics properly and keep them out of the landfill,” said Rose. The event also took in 236 tires; almost 2,000 pounds of poisons, including insecticides; 10 yards of scrap metal; Please see WASTE | 2A

865 gallons of oil; 263 pounds of batteries; 1,000 pounds of fluorescent light bulbs; 36 pounds of CFL bulbs; and 1,235 pounds of flammable or other hazardous liquids. It is possible to keep some of these things from becoming clutter around the home with yearround recycling opportunities. Many of the local oil changing businesses accept oil anytime; Waste Connections accepts a certain number of tires per household monthly; Lowe’s accepts CFLs and batteries; and the recycling bin on Fulton Drive takes paper and plastic items. About 45 volunteers helped stage the event at the transfer station off South Harper Road.

the photos, the individuals appeared to place beer into coolers, before loading the beverages inside the truck. According to a official statement from MDOT, they do not tolerate the misuse of state property. The statement also said action will be taken against anyone found violating the policies on the use of state vehicles. It is believed the truck is assigned to the state line scales in Iuka and the vehicle’s occupants were traveling from Tishomingo County to a football game in Oxford at The University of Mississippi.

IUKA — A Mississippi Department of Transportation law enforcement vehicle shown on a viral Facebook post last week is believed to be one assigned to Tishomingo County. The Facebook post capturing what appears to be a beer run in a MDOT vehicle has resulted in a MDOT investigation. On Sept. 26, Facebook user Jill Jones shared several photos of three unidentified women outside of the Kangaroo gas station in Pontotoc. In

BOONEVILLE — A pair of Prentiss County fire departments have improved their state ratings. Supervisor Matt Murphy noted during a recent board of supervisors meeting that Pisgah and Blackland volunteer fire departments recently received notice of improvement in their fire ratings, moving from a level nine to a better level 8 in both fire districts. Murphy said the better ratings will save residents a significant amount on

their homeowner’s insurance. He praised the departments for their hard work and encouraged residents to check with their insurers to see if their rates can be lowered. The board also recently voted unanimously to set a single annual date for the official county surplus auction. Kesler asked his fellow board members to move the annual auction of surplus county property to once time during the month of May. The motion noted no other sale at any other time of the year will be considered or can be advertised as the “county sale.”

Proceeds from the luncheon will help the club continue to offer their popular after school and summer programs for kids in Alcorn County. In operation for more than 50 years, the local club has an average daily attendance of 80 to 100 children during school and 120 to 150 children during the summer “We are getting really close to maximum number of 150 kids served,” added Holmes.

Sanders soars BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

The latest NBC/WSJ poll, conducted Sept. 20-24, has Hillary Clinton only slightly ahead of Bernie Sanders in the national sample of registered Democratic voters. Clinton polls at 42 percent, Sanders at 35 percent and Joe Biden at 17 percent. With Sanders a bare seven points behind the former secretary of state, her candidacy is in a state of grave peril. The polling comes as her policy proposals are getting drowned out by the revelation of her evasions, half-truths and outright lies on her handling of emails during her State Department tenure. Dissatisfaction with Clinton’s candidacy has been growing but now it appears to be coalescing around Sanders’ leftist candidacy. The political result of this polling is devastating for Clinton. It means that Biden has to enter the race, whether he’s ready or not. With an imminent threat of Sanders’ winning the Democratic nomination, leading to a total wipeout of party candidates in 2016, the pressure on Biden to run will become irresistible. Democrats, led by President Obama, will hound him. The other result of this shocking poll is that Sanders can actually win. His ideology has struck a chord with liberal Democrats. Once this genie is out of the bottle, it is highly questionable whether or not it could be put back in. It may be that the forces of an ultra-liberal agenda – anti-free trade, $15 minimum wage, a 90 percent top tax bracket, and raising social security taxes to finance lowering the retirement age and raising benefits – is unstoppable. The Republican right-wing has long ghettoized the Republican Party, forcing it into inflexible positions on social issues. Now it appears that animosity to Clinton has unleashed a similar tornado among Democratic voters, moving them inexorably to the left and out of the national mainstream. Now, even if Biden runs, it may not be enough to hold back the Sanders surge. A new force is threatening the long tame Democratic electorate. To find a similar revolution in Democratic ranks, one needs to go back to the New Left days of Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern. This wholesale rejection is a serious threat to the Democratic party establishment. (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.)

Time for America to grow up Maybe this democracy thing is overrated. We would like to believe that every four years, Americans go to the polls and prove that our system of government works. But maybe this time it won’t. Maybe this time, democracy will hiccup and produce a president who is not just professionally unqualified for but also personally unworthy of the job. I could give you a list. But I am not sure I can remember that many names. Let me quote a president whom Republicans still worship: Ronald Reagan. Reagan was good at the quip – “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help’” – but he was also good at what is now called “the vision thing.” The vision thing used to be important in American politics. Now it is considered a parlor trick. If you can master it, fine. If you can’t, don’t worry. We’ll just use a video. This is from Reagan’s last speech from the Oval Office: “I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life,” Reagan said. “After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she’s still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for

all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toRoger ward home.” Simon I never liked ReaColumnist gan’s policies, but he knew how to rouse a nation And that last line about hurtling through the darkness toward home can still give one chills. No Republican would say that today, of course. We don’t want to be a magnet. We don’t want pilgrims from lost places. They need a home? Fine. Let them find one – far away from us. And who is the leading Republican this time around? And what does he say? Well, he says a great deal. Not much of it is inspirational, however. Here is a partial list of Donald Trump’s greatest hits, compiled by USA Today: ■ Jeb Bush is “weak.” ■ Karl Rove “is a total loser.” ■ Chuck Hagel and George Will are “morons.” ■ On Rick Santorum: “I have a big plane. He doesn’t.” ■ On Fox News’ Megyn Kelly after the Republican debate Aug. 6: “Fox viewers

give low marks to bimbo.” ■ On Kelly’s returning from vacation in late August: “The bimbo back in town. I hope not for long.” Why Trump’s dislike of Kelly? She held him to account for what came out of his mouth. He wasn’t used to that, and he didn’t like it one bit. At the debate, Kelly had said to Trump: “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs’ and ‘disgusting animals.’ Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ it would be a ‘pretty picture’ to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?” Trump was angry with the question and, after the debate, denied saying some of the things Kelly had accused him of saying. So PolitiFact, a nonpartisan fact-checking agency of the Tampa Bay Times, looked into Trump’s claim that Kelly had lied. “The record, however, shows the opposite is true,” PolitiFact said. “He has said exactly what Kelly mentioned in the debate. We rate Trump’s statement False.” There has been much written lately that the “Summer of Trump” is over – that the

public finally sees through him, that his poll numbers are slipping and that people are finally waking up to his act. This might make an ordinary candidate nervous. It makes Trump belligerent. This is from a CNN article posted online earlier this week: “Donald Trump admitted Monday that his rhetoric on the campaign trail may not always sound entirely presidential. “‘Probably is a little childish,’” Trump said in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett at Trump Tower in New York. ‘But you know what? This is a campaign.’” Heck yes! This is only a campaign! And only for the presidency of the United States! So why get all huffy and dignified and fancy-schmancy? Treat your critics like the insects they are – especially if they aren’t rich and don’t own big planes. Being childish is what the political process is all about. Or at least it’s what Donald Trump is all about. Because there has never been a bigger baby running for president.

Tenn-Tom Waterway remains an engineering marvel

Prayer for today Lord and Master of all, I pray that thou wilt make me see through my prejudices and beyond my desires to the very “top of my condition.” May I not wait for places or circumstances that are dimly in the distance or that are near at hand, but accomplish the work I should do to-day. Amen.

STARKVILLE — Stretching some 234 miles, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway connects the Tennessee and Tombigbee rivers and is the heart of a 1,300-mile navigable water system that links the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico. Since 1985, the TennTom has been transforming northeast Mississippi and west central Alabama. A new study compiled by the National Strategic Planning & Analysis Research Center at Mississippi State University – with contributions from an advisory group of scientists at the University of Tennessee, the University of Southern Mississippi, the University of Alabama, Auburn University, the University of Kentucky and MSU – drew this conclusion on the economic benefits of the project: “Current investment in the Tenn-Tom Waterway produces an ROI (return on investment) of 3.54... or $3.54 returned in the form of tax revenue for every federal dollar spent.” The project generates more than 24,000 full-time jobs, resulting in $1.9 billion in personal income, according

to the study. Watching the locks and dams operate along the waterway underSid Salter scores the engineering Columnist marvel of the Tenn-Tom, but the political feats necessary to guide the project to completion are perhaps more impressive. Both the late Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Sen. John C. Stennis of DeKalb and the late former House Appropriations Committee chairman U.S. Rep. Jamie Whitten of Charleston exerted enormous influence on the monumental public works project. A little known story of the political dominoes that had to fall in order for the TennTom to ever reach completion was the 1983 decision by Stennis to give up his position as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee to claim a similar spot on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Had Stennis not made that decision, Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wisconsin, would

have claimed that leadership post and the Tenn-Tom project would likely have died as a result of Proxmire’s war on congressionally-directed spending. Stennis’ eventual assumption of the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee in 1987 while Whitten chaired the House Appropriations Committee (and then-junior Mississippi U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran also held a seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee as the ranking Republican on the Agriculture Subcommittee) marked the high-water mark of Mississippi’s power on Capitol Hill. Whitten, Stennis and other Southern Democrats worked with Republican President Richard Nixon to put the Tenn-Tom on the final path to construction and completion. Later, Stennis and Whitten would face the challenge of President Jimmy Carter, a fellow Democrat, who shortly after taking office announced plans to terminate 19 national water projects and to study termination of 13 additional projects – one of which was the Tenn-Tom Waterway. Public support rallied

to save the project and the Carter Administration eventually withdrew their opposition. In the 30-year interim, there have been many economic benefits for communities on the Tenn-Tom. The city of Corinth Public Utilities Commission gained approval from the Tennessee Valley Authority, Corps of Engineers and the state of Mississippi to construct a surface water project and utilize the Tennessee River via the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway as the water supply source. The system brings 10 million to 16.5 million gallons of water per day - which leaves Corinth with a water surplus sufficient to attract major industrial water customers, including a meat processing plant. The Tenn-Tom’s true impact has still not yet been measured, but critics from three decades back can scarcely ignore the positive impact the project had in two the nation’s poorest and least developed states.

BP settlement deal to be filed Monday NEW ORLEANS â€” The public is about to get a look at details of an $18 billion settlement agreement announced in July to resolve years of legal fighting over damage done by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. A statement from the U.S. Justice Department has says the agreement involving the federal government, five gulf states and BP Exploration and Production will be filed Monday. That will be followed by a 60-day public comment period, the next step toward final court approval. The settlement would end battles over economic and environmental damage done by the nearly 134 million gallon spill. The spill followed the April 2010 explosion on an offshore rig that killed 11 workers. This yearâ€™s government settlement comes after a 2012 settlement between BP and people and businesses harmed by the spill. That settlement so far has resulted in $5.84 billion in payouts, according to a report filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans.

Ascension kicks off balloon fiestaÂ ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. â€” Tens of thousands of spectators swarmed the launch field Saturday for the first mass ascension of the 44th annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The nine-day event kicked off at dawn. More than 500 balloons representing dozens of states and nearly 20 different countries are registered this year. Organizers say itâ€™s one of the most photographed events in the world. Shelby Burby of Michigan traveled to the fiesta with family members for her fatherâ€™s 80th birthday and they were planning to lift off early Saturday. She described seeing the balloons lift off at sunrise as gorgeous.

Gunshots interrupt high school gameÂ ST. LOUIS â€” The sound of gunshots halted a high school football game in St. Louis, but officials say no one was injured. The shots were fired near a stadium about 8 p.m. Friday, after the second half of the game between Gateway STEM and Vashon high schools started, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Some players dropped to the field, and spectators sought cover. No one was injured. â€œYouâ€™re almost immune,â€? Vashon player Levi Stockard said of hearing gunshots. Police say they donâ€™t think the shots were meant for anyone at the game.

Four killed in plane crash from IndianaÂ WALHALLA, S.C. â€” Authorities say all four people who died in a plane crash were from Indiana. The men were flying from Warsaw, Indiana, to Clemson, South Carolina, to attend Saturdayâ€™s Notre DameClemson game. Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis identified the men who died Friday afternoon as: 71-yearold Charles D. Smith; his son, 44-year-old Scott A. Smith; 54-yearold Tony L. Elliott; and 51-year-old Scott D. Bibler. Elliott was a former sprint car driver, while the elder Smith was a Warsaw councilman and former high school football coach.

Attorney appears to focus on favors ALBANY, N.Y. â€” Questions about whether campaign donors to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo benefited from his Buffalo Billion economic development initiative are highlighting the long and murky relationship between money and public policy in Albany. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is reportedly probing the project, which involved large state investments in efforts to jumpstart the high-tech economy in New Yorkâ€™s secondlargest city. SUNY Polytechnic, which helped manage the initiative, has hired a Manhattan law firm but wonâ€™t comment on the investigation. Cuomo has brushed off reports of the investigation, praising the Buffalo Billionâ€™s success and noting that recipients of state funds have long contributed to political campaigns.

Police: Cassidy left scene of accidentÂ FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. â€” Former teen idol David Cassidy has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident and driving with an expired tag after a crash in Florida last month. The Sun SentinelÂ quotes police as saying that the 65-yearold Cassidy sideswiped a truck and then tried to cover his license plate before driving away with a flat tire. The charges were filed Wednesday. Authorities said witnesses identified Cassidy as the driver in a photo lineup. Cassidyâ€™s lawyer, Jason Forman, says the police report is riddled with inconsistencies. He says Cassidy gave police his driverâ€™s license and registration before leaving the scene. A hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 27.

Liquor warehouse running out of roomÂ JACKSON â€” Mississippiâ€™s liquor warehouse is getting crowded. The facility in Madison, where 99 percent of the liquor that is sold in Mississippi package stores and restaurants is stored until delivery, is big enough to comfortably hold 400,000 cases of spirits. Commissioner of Revenue Ed Morgan tells The Clarion-LedgerÂ it currently holds 435,000 cases. â€œWeâ€™re bumping the ceiling,â€? Morgan said. If growth matches that of the last three decades, the warehouse will soon run out of room altogether. Since 1985, liquor sales in the state have risen an average of 3 percent to 31/2 percent annually. Morgan said more room will be needed eventually. That is a matter that will be considered by the Legislature. The size of the needed expansion hasnâ€™t yet been determined. And Morgan is not optimistic about quick funding for the project.

Mississippi starts business website JACKSON â€” Businesses scouting Mississippi as a potential location have a new tool that state officials hope will give them an edge. YallBusiness is a new website that aggregates economic, census and consumer data in an effort to make research a little easier for businesses considering a project

in the state. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says the website, YallBusiness. sos.ms.gov, does all of the research for you. The Commercial AppealÂ reports the website will provide the kind of precise data companies look for when considering a move to the state.

Bridge dedication to be held Oct. 16Â TUPELO â€” The Mississippi Department of Transportation will dedicate a bridge spanning the Tombigbee River on U.S. Highway 82 in Lowndes County in honor of former state Sen. Terry W. Brown. Elected in 2004, Brown, a Republican from Columbus, served as president pro tempore of the Senate from January 2012 until his death in September 2014. He served in the Mississippi House from 1988 to 2000, and ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 1999. WCBI-TV reportsÂ the ceremony will be held for 10 a.m., Friday, Oct. 16, at the Old Tombigbee River Bridge Pedestrian Walkway and Park in Columbus. Scheduled to attend are Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves. MDOT will erect and maintain signs declaring the â€œTerry W. Brown Memorial Bridgeâ€? at each end of the bridge.

of Jackson to try to force the police department to provide security and traffic control outside the fairgrounds. The 12-day state fair starts Wednesday. The commission filed a complaint Friday in Hinds County Chancery Court, and a hearing on the complaint is set for Tuesday, The Clarion-Ledger reported. Jackson Police announced this year it wouldnâ€™t provide help during the State Fair because of city budget cuts. Police Chief Lee Vance said Jackson typically pays about $320,000 in personnel and overtime costs for the annual event. â€œWe cannot afford to absorb those costs any longer,â€? Vance said Friday. â€œItâ€™s simply a financial decision where we had no other choice. Weâ€™ve been saying to the Fair Commission and to the Legislature in recent years that we needed some help in offsetting the costs.â€?

Chaffetz to seek speaker bid BY ERICA WERNER AND ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah plans to run for House speaker in a surprise longshot challenge to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, three Republican aides said Friday, injecting new turmoil into an unsettled House Republican conference. Chaffetz chairs the Oversight and Government Reform Committee and has led high-profile hearings on the Secret Service, Planned Parenthood and other issues. His candidacy would offer an outlet for Republicans reluctant to coronate McCarthy to replace House Speaker John Boehner, who shocked Capitol Hill a week ago by announcing his resignation under conserva-

tive pressure. Yet it’s not clear the hardliners who ousted Boehner and view McCarthy with suspicion would flock to Chaffetz instead. In recent days Chaffetz has been highly critical of McCarthy over comments the majority leader made suggesting political motives for the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. The attacks killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Chaffetz’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment, but Chaffetz plans to appear on “Fox News Sunday” to “announce his decision to run for House speaker,” according to that network. The aides with knowl-

Obama: No more stopgap budget bills, deal needed Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Friday he won’t sign another temporary government funding bill after the current one expires Dec. 11, insisting that congressional Republicans and Democrats work out a longterm budget deal with the White House. Obama said such a deal should lift a freeze on the budgets of both the Pentagon and domestic agencies. Speaking at a White House news conference, he said he “won’t sign another shortsighted spending bill” and asserted that the U.S. can’t cut its way to prosperity. On the so-called debt limit, which needs to be raised above the current $18.1 trillion cap by early

November, Obama said he won’t repeat a 2011 negotiation over companion spending cuts that brought the nation to the brink of a first-ever default on its obligations. “We’re not going back there,” he said, adding: “Historically, we do not mess with it. If it gets messed with, it would have profound implications for the global economy and could put our financial system in the kind of tailspin that we saw back in 2007 and 2008. ... It has to get done in the next five weeks.” Neither position was new or surprising, but the president’s statements came after Capitol Hill was roiled by the resignation of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

edge of his plans demanded anonymity to confirm them ahead of a public announcement. The news was first reported by Politico. Chaffetz’s entry into the race would come less than a week before the Oct. 8 leadership elections, giving him little time to build support. McCarthy is seen as the commanding favorite, despite Republicans’ discomfort over the Californian’s boast this week that the Benghazi committee could take credit for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s lagging poll numbers. Clinton is the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination and was secretary of state at the time of the Benghazi attacks. McCarthy subsequently said he regretted the comment and did not

mean to imply the committee is political because it is not. But Democrats pounced and said the remarks revealed the Benghazi committee is a political witch hunt. In an appearance Friday on conservative host Sean Hannity’s radio show, Chaffetz pledged a strong fight for conservative goals. “Speaker Boehner, bless his heart, has done some good stuff — he got rid of earmarks. But I’m tired of not actually getting to the end zone. I want to actually change the trajectory, I don’t want to say we coulda, woulda, shoulda. I want to score touchdowns.” Chaffetz, 48, and in his fourth term, arrived in Congress with hardline conservative backing, but as a committee chairman is now seen by some as an ally of leadership.

Acting education secretary says his teachers saved him Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Education Department’s incoming secretary, John King Jr., recognizes that education can be the difference between life and death. After all, he said Friday, it was for him. King grew up in Brooklyn, but lost his mom at age 8 and his father four years later. He moved between family members and schools during those years. Teachers, he said, saved him and drove him to succeed. He went on to graduate from Harvard, get his law degree from Yale and a doctorate from Columbia. Now, he’s on the verge of running the nation’s Education Department, serving as

acting secretary once Arne Duncan steps down in December. “Teachers, New York City public school teachers, are the reason that I am alive,” King said during a White House press conference announcing the changes. “They are the reason that I became a teacher. They are the reason I’m standing here today.” King has been serving as an acting deputy secretary at the department since January. The department’s biography of his career says he oversees all preschoolthrough-12th-grade education policies, and the operations of the department, which has more than 4,000 employees.

Scandal changed nothing, VW says

Daily Corinthian

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Inside Volkswagen’s only U.S. assembly plant there’s little hint of the diesel emissions cheating scandal embroiling the German automaker around the world. Sparks fly off robotic welding arms, new versions of the Passat sedan roll off the line and workers install equipment to build a new SUV billed as a key to reviving the company’s growth prospects in America. “Nothing has changed, and the factory construction goes on,” plant spokesman Scott Wilson told The Associated Press on a tour of the sprawling facility where Volkswagen

plans to add 2,000 jobs as it expands the facility by 30 percent. But despite the business-as-usual feel of the plant, production of diesel-engine vehicles has been put on hold by VW until they get more clarity on the consequences of the emissions scandal, which has already led to the CEO’s resignation, cost the company billions of dollars in lost stock value and unleashed a flood of lawsuits. The carmaker has admitted that 11 million of its diesel vehicles worldwide were fitted with a program that duped U.S. testers into believing the vehicles meet environmental standards.

A letter from the ACE Board of Directors to the ACE Membership The ACE Board knows that the vast numbers of the ACE members truly appreciate and are satisfied with their electrical service. We understand that you would all love to pay less for this necessity of our lives, but we believe that it is our duty to demand that ACE’s reliability and state of the art service cannot be under funded in today’s world. The original Board of Directors in 1934 expected the “Corinth Experiment” to work, and it definitely has been a tremendous success. There are now approximately 1,000 Rural Electric Cooperatives serving over 80% of the landmass of the United States. Most of them do not have the low rates that we have, but they are not blessed with a TVA. All of the members who have lived outside of the TVA area can probably attest to that fact. ACE’s first Board was developed as a Policy Board that would serve without a salary and that is the way ACE’s Board is handled today. The Board was never developed to be a Political Board or a Hiring Board. The Board of ACE hires the Manager of ACE and it is the Manager’s duty to carry out the policies of ACE’s Board. All of ACE’s rules and regulations are approved by TVA as well as all of the rates that are charged our members. With the Board’s approval, the Manager does hire contractors for regular maintenance from time to time and none of the contracts are with ACE Board Members. The ACE Board is comprised of members with no specific agenda. Our concern is to make sure that ACE provides reliable and safe service at the least possible cost. ACE’s multimilliondollar business is technical, dangerous, and a necessity for our fellowmen. This is why your ACE Board makes sure that ACE has a skilled and qualified Manager who staffs ACE with the best engineering, financial, and skilled team of leaders, who are ready 24/7 to lead ACE’s skilled workforce to meet any challenge at a moment’s notice. Your Board was extremely pleased this past year with the Association being able to keep the rates low while having to pay TVA a $3 to $6 Million bill per month, and ACE being able to keep only 15% to 25% of the monthly revenue to pay our costs while also doing the necessary work to keep our reliability high. We were able to maintain having the power on 99.997% of the time even with the small ice storm we experienced. In comparing ACE’s rates to others, a recent study performed by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on residential rates, using data from May 2015, reveals that the national average cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity is 12.95 cents per kWh. In Mississippi, that falls to 12.20 cents per kWh. We are proud to say that ACE’s residential rate during May 2015 was 9.161 cents per kWh. One other issue that your ACE Board wants to bring the membership up to date on is the popular and growing PayWise Program, which was developed to help our members pay their bill in an easier way and not have to put up a large deposit. Prepaying your electric bill can possibly save you from 5% to 12% according to recent studies. We have kiosks installed at two locations for your 24/7 convenience.
