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
