Town Hall Meeting Speaker of the House on the listening end as citizens air concerns on various topics

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A crowd of citizens aired concerns about topics such as Common Core education standards, gun rights and health in a town hall forum Tuesday afternoon with Mississippi Speaker of the House Philip Gunn.

Corinth City Hall was one of three stops Tuesday on Gunn’s

Mississippi Solutions tour. All of the local legislative delegation attended to hear what’s on the minds of local citizens.

Several people were fired up about actions taken by some cities since the passage of House Bill 2 regarding open carry of guns.

“One thing we have to address is all these municipalities

across the state that are passing unlawful gun bans against state law,” said Jay Anthony, one of the organizers of the recent House Bill 2 rallies. “Something needs to be done to stop this.

You can’t carry carry a gun in one town; you can carry a gun in another town; and it’s just Please see GUNN | 2A

Catfish & Khakis Supporters, volunteers help with B&G Club’s fundraiser

BY JOSEPH MILLER jmiller@dailycorinthian.com

Summitt scheduled Tuesday at Arena

The corner of Fillmore and Cruise Street was filled with supporters and volunteers to help support this year’s Eighth Annual Catfish and Khakis.

Northeast Mississippi’s Boys & Girls Club hosted the annual fall fundraiser and they had plenty of hungry folks from around the community to stop by and enjoy the food and fellowship.

Local supporters Kim Scott and Amy Marlar of Corinth said that they were proud to come down and be a part of such a great cause.

“We do this every year to help support the Boys & Girls Club,” Scott said. “This is a great opportunity to enjoy some good food at a great price, and we know that it will be a monetary blessing for Catfish and Khakis.”

Marlar said that their boss from Farm Bureau, Dan Crozier, paid for their to-go-plates today, and she was also glad to be involved with this event.

“It just shows that people in the community care,” Marlar added. “Not only us and our company but almost all the

Local angler helps MSU win Bass Cup

BY JOSEPH MILLER jmiller@dailycorinthian.com

Mississippi State University’s bass club won the inaugural Mississippi Collegiate Bass Cup competition on Sept. 28 at the Providence Hill Farm in Jackson.

Providence Hill Farm’s featured lake is located in Jackson and has 150 acres with a partially surrounding sea wall and is stocked with F1 bass weighing up to 12 pounds.

Participating teams that competed against Mississippi State at the farm included Ole Miss,

Southern Mississippi University and Mississippi College, all of which sent two teams each to fish off against one another in this tournament.

However, there was only one winner of this year’s Governor’s Cup, and the members of the Bulldog team were able to bring home the crown. Those team members consisted of anglers Josh Cameron, Joe Marty, Justin Atkins and Lowell Gann of Corinth.

These teams of anglers battled for the trophy from 6:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. but, in the end

it was Mississippi State’s bass club who came out on top.

Gann said it was a long, stressful day, but he was proud of his teams performance.

“After having such a hard year this year and coming up short some, this win felt really good,” Gann said. “It was so amazing to be there at Mississippi College and to win on their home lake where they are used to fishing and stuff. It was really cool to win and it was kind of overwhelming.”

companies in Corinth who bought plates here today. I think that it’s awesome how our board members are out here serving the food too.

They take time out of their busy schedules to volunteer here today and it shows that they really do care!”

According to one of the clubs board of directors, Robert Williams — who helped load up the big orders for Scott and Marlar, this is their biggest fundraiser of the year.

“We are doing this strictly for the kids at the club,” Williams stated.

“Hopefully we can raise around $15,000 today because grant money is harder to get these days — as everyone could imagine — so we know how important it is for everyone to come out and show their support and

we deeply appreciate it.”

Williams also added that it is a small sacrifice to take time out of their day to show support for such and important organization.

“It’s definitely worth it because again . . . we can’t say it enough about how worthy this cause is and we as board members take it very seriously and we really just want to help.”

The club’s top fundraiser offered customers a choice of fish or chicken to accompany hush puppies, fries, slaw, cookie and a drink for only $10.

Club board of director’s member J.C. Hill said he is also in full support of this event and it shows the camaraderie of the whole city and county.

“This is by far our biggest one that we have had, as far as sponsor-

ship goes and individual participation,” said Hill.

“The weather is great and we got a new feature this year with the silent auction which will help our overall agenda for raising money for the club. In general, people just look forward to this event because of the reason it is being held and tickets are just becoming easier to sell each year.”

According to Hill, local businesses like Kimberly & Clark and Caterpillar bought numerous lunch plates for their employees, along with several other industries, and participation for this event should continue to grow in the future.

“The Boys & Girls Club will be blessed with the generosity of everybody who got involved here today, and I look for this event to just get bigger and more involved every year,” stated Hill.

Event organizers ask participants to purchase tickets early so that they can provide an accurate head-count to the catering business.

not right to have all these conflicts against state law and the Mississippi Constitution.”

The new Common Core education standards were another hot topic, with several individuals describing the program as federal intrusion into a person’s life through data collection and sharing.

“This shouldn’t just give you pause to think, but it should put chills up your spine about the information that is going to be out there for anybody and everybody,” said Susan Marion, who passed out printed materials. “As parents, we need to protect our children and demand that they not be put into a giant data collection project that will collect personal information and then sell it to private corporations.”

Harvey Moss, the former District 2 representative, put in a word for early voting.

“We have a lot of interest in our part of the state here for early voting,” he said. “Our sister state,

Tennessee, has it. We pushed it up this way for a long time, because I think it increases voter participation, and we want to do that.”

Gunn said it will be on the radar for the Legislature.

“We are looking at a lot of election reform this year, especially arising out of the situation in Hattiesburg,” he said.

A couple of people brought concerns about health. Dental hygienist Rebecca Timbes said the state needs to address preventive oral health by changing the requirement that hygienists have direct supervision by the dentist.

Changing that to general supervision would allow dental hygienists to do needed preventive work in settings such as schools and nursing homes, she said.

“One-fourth of our population over the age of 65 have no teeth,” said Timbes. “The number one disease in children right now is dental decay.”

Charlie Spearman, director of Region IV Men-

tal Health Services, wants to see the Legislature step up funding for mental health. He said the agencies are facing “more and more demands being placed upon us, and yet it seems like the funding is getting shorter and shorter. By law, we have to see everybody that comes into our office, and we want to do that, but somebody has to pay for those services.”

A large number of the clients cannot pay, he said.

In the area of transportation, suggestions included a Highway 72 bypass for Corinth and restrictions on development along the four-lane highways being constructed in the region.

Gunn, who mostly yielded the floor to public comments, said the event was not intended as a political forum but as a way to “make ourselves accessible to you.” He acknowledged the city’s distance from Jackson, noting that Corinth’s Rep. Nick Bain makes the longest drive of any member of the House to Jackson.

CHS announces Term 1 honor roll

Today in history Today is Wednesday, Oct. 9, the 282nd day of 2013. There are 83 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 9, 1813, Giuseppe Verdi, the composer of such classic operas as “Aida,” ‘‘La Traviata,” ‘‘Rigoletto” and “Il Trovatore,” was born in the Italian village of Le Roncole. (There is some dispute over Verdi’s date of birth, with numerous sources saying he was actually born on Oct. 10.)

On this date: In 1888, the public was first admitted to the Washington Monument.

In 1910, a coal dust explosion at the Starkville Mine in Colorado left 56 miners dead.

In 1930, Laura Ingalls became the first woman to fly across the United States as she completed a nine-stop journey from Roosevelt Field, N.Y., to Glendale, Calif.

In 1936, the first generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles.

In 1940, rock and roll legend John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England.

In 1958, Pope Pius XII died at age 82, ending a 19-year papacy. (He was succeeded by Pope John XXIII.) In 1974, businessman Oskar Schindler, credited with saving about 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust, died in Frankfurt, West Germany (at his request, he was buried in Jerusalem).

Corinth, Miss.

Obama vs. Redskins: Where’s the line?

BY ROGER SIMON The true measure of a leader is not what battles he wins but what battles he takes on.

Just because the outcome appears hopeless does not mean the fight is worthless.

The hopeless causes of today are the realized dreams of tomorrow.

So while facing a government shutdown, the possibility of a debt default, a war in Afghanistan, a poison gas crisis with Syria, a nuclear crisis with Iran and North Korea, and the continuing struggle against global terrorism, President Barack Obama has decided to take on a new conflict: The Washington Redskins. Not the team but the name.

You go, guy. The name is repellant to many Native Americans and has been the object of controversy and lawsuits for decades.

Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people see nothing wrong with the name, viewing it not as shameful but as a term of admiration and respect.

The current owner of the Redskins, Dan Snyder, is not going to budge, he says, on any demands for a name change. “We’ll never change the name,” Snyder told USA Today in May. “It’s that simple. NEVER -- you can use caps.”

President Obama is used to battling “nevers,” however, no matter whether they are in caps or lowercase. (Some said there would NEVER be a black president.)

“If I were the owner of the team and I knew that the name of my team, even if they’ve had a storied history, that was offending a sizable group of people, I’d think about changing it,” Obama told The Associated Press on Saturday.

He said he knows that the team does not mean to offend anyone and that changing the name would be an uphill battle because “people get pretty attached to team names, mascots.”

However, he said, “I don’t know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real, legitimate concerns that people have about these things.”

Defenders of the name cite polls -- some years old and of questionable methodology -- that indicate Native Americans just love the name Redskins, and opponents cite polls showing the opposite. But what difference do polls make on matters of morality?

In July 1974, I went to the small central Illinois town of Pekin, whose high-school football, baseball, hockey, basketball, golf and swimming teams were called the Chinks.

At the beginning of every football game, a “Chink” and a “Chinklet” dressed in yellow and black pajamas ran out on the field while someone beat a gong, an act that had been laying them in the aisles for years.

In 1829, the somewhat shaky fingers of Ann Eliza Cromwell had traced around a globe and found that the Chinese capital of Peking (now Beijing) was exactly opposite the town she decided to call Pekin. It isn’t, but by the time anybody discovered this, it was too late to change all the town signs, and nobody cared anyway.

I went to Pekin because a number of Chinese-Americans had flown in to point out politely that the name Chink was a vile insult.

The citizens of Pekin were equally polite but shocked. To them, the name was one of admiration, respect and even love.

Finally, in 1980 -- as time changed, sensitivities grew and many grew weary of the negative publicity -- the Pekin school board changed the team name to the Dragons.

In 1972, Stanford University changed the name of its team from the Indians to the Cardinal. In 2007, after decades of controversy and considerable pressure from the NCAA, the University of Illinois retired its mascot, Chief Illiniwek.

Obama is right about the name Redskins.

It is time to retire this insult to Native Americans.

We took a continent from them and gave them disease, alcohol and reservations in return.

At the very least, we can leave them with their dignity.

Prayer for today My Father, may I have an appreciation of the wonderful creations of the earth. Give me a discriminating eye, that I may know the precious things that thou art growing; and throughout my life may I love the beautiful, and choose that which will make my life worthy of growth. Amen.

A verse to share “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”

-- Psalms 119:165

Is the conflict between us irreconcilable?

One way or another, the battle of the budget and the debt ceiling will be over by All Hallows’ Eve. Yet, as one looks deeper, at the irreconcilable conflict behind the present clash, only a roaring optimist would imagine we shall ever know again the tranquility and unity of the Eisenhower-Kennedy years.

Consider the bile dumped upon Tea Party Republicans

by Barack Obama, Harry Reid and their camp followers in the national press.

What did the Tea Party do to deserve this? Answer: These extremists shut down the U.S. government, they’re holding America hostage, and they’re inflicting terrible suffering on innocent people.

But is this true?

Three times in a fortnight, the House has voted to fund every department, agency, and program of the government -- except Obamacare.

Who, then, is truly shutting down the government?

What we are witnessing here is the unfolding of the Big Lie to persuade a pliable public not only to believe it, but to recite it, as in Orwell’s “1984.”

Obamacare, we are told, was enacted by Congress, signed by the president, upheld by the Supreme Court, confirmed by Obama’s victory in 2012. To try to defund or reform it amounts to an attempted coup, an

overturning of the election results of November.

But does not Congress have the Pat power of the Buchanan purse to fund or defund Columnist any program it chooses? I And have not the last three years exposed glaring flaws in Obamacare? Have not severely adverse consequences turned up in widespread layoffs and a reversion to part-time help?

Why then is the House’s exercise of its constitutional authority to defund Obamacare, which polls show a majority of Americans favor, such a moral outrage?

This brings us to the underlying conflict.

The Obamacare battle is part of a larger struggle between a party of government and a conservative party that fears America is heading down a road traveled by Greece, Italy and Spain.

Now the party of government can surely claim credit for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. Yet, that same party is also responsible for driving New York City to the brink of bankruptcy in the 1970s and for the disaster that is Detroit today.

That party is also responsible for an unsustainable

welfare state where half the U.S. population pays zero income taxes but consumes hundreds of billions yearly in social welfare benefits.

And how are the people who preside over this annual redistribution of America’s wealth faring? Just fine, thank you.

According to the latest data from the Census Bureau, the four counties in the U.S. with the highest median family income are all in the D.C. area: Arlington, Loudoun and Fairfax County, Va., and Howard County, Md. Maryland’s Montgomery County, just north of D.C., ranks 7. Five of the top ten. Not bad, eh?

Though 120,000 D.C. residents are on food stamps, the city boasts a median family income higher than all but four states. And D.C. leads the nation in the number of bedroom counties, nine, where the median family income exceeds $100,000.

Big government and the Fat City are one in Barack Obama’s America.

And how does the Tea Party imperil the country?

First, they risk taking America over the cliff into default. But that raises a question: Since the Tea Party folks are newcomers to town, who brought America to the edge of this cliff?

What radical added $6 trillion to our national debt in five years?

Almost all now agree that the entitlement programs -- Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid -- threaten to consume the budget.

Is the Tea Party responsible for this gathering disaster?

Was the Tea Party beating the drums for those trilliondollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?

When the Tea Party says the Fed’s QE3 amounts to printing money and inflating the currency, that it is creating stock market and real estate bubbles certain to burst, and that the dollar’s future as the world’s reserve currency is imperiled, do they not have a point?

These same views are today being echoed by economists and writers, few of whom are ever likely to show up wearing side arms at God and Country Rallies.

The Tea Party is feared and detested in Washington because these folks threaten the ideology, the vested interests, and most critical of all, the rice bowls in this city that voted 15-1 for Obama.

The portrait of a quiet, hard-working man His prized possessions were a Stetson hat, a portrait print signed by Kentucky’s Col. Harlan Sanders and a putter shaped like a hot dog and autographed by Bear Bryant, though three of his children had graduated from Auburn and he never played golf.

He was 4 when he lost his father, 17 when he left home to make it on his own and 10 days north of 88 when he died at home -- his choice.

Rex Aubrey Grimsley still loved the grocery company that fired him and the woman too proper to kiss him when he returned home from world war.

He was my father.

Stubborn as a blood stain, unyielding in many matters, he was generous to family and friends, who sometimes saw the dark side of his moon yet adored him. He held his children on his bony knee when we were little, rescued us from the scalding white sand on Pensacola Beach and taught me how to drive a standard shift and build a fence.

He terrorized our boyfriends, and sometimes our husbands, threatenRheta ing to put Johnson one “on the other end of Columnist a cross-cut saw.” When a prospective son-in-law phoned to ask his permission to marry the oldest daughter, he replied: “Now, who are you?”

To my father, strangers were suspect. He lived by that credo they dish out in journalism school: If your mother says she loves you, check it out.

In the beginning, and at heart, he was a butcher.

In his late years, he spent hours reliving meat-market grand openings of decades before, or debating the merits of various brands of bacon. Once a meat man, always a meat man. He had no patience with so-called cholesterol and vegetarians.

But when he was young,

he had little time for conversation. He never stopped walking and working -- on the job or at the little retirement farm he loved and named Rex’s Ranch. He couldn’t figure why any of us, especially my brother, would ever want to leave it.

Tall and lean, he was a picture of health until pulmonary fibrosis slowed him in his 80s. Doctors prescribed oxygen, which he used like a water bottle, taking great gulps between chores.

He loved music. Hillbilly music, especially Hank and the steel guitar. He also liked Irish tenors, Billy Vaughn waltzes, Floyd Cramer on the piano. After requesting “Stardust,” he would fall asleep on the living-room sofa while my sister played the piano for him.

His best friend was a man named James Ivey, or “Jimmy,” the Sundance to my father’s Butch Cassidy. I never beat Mister Jimmy to the hospital if my father were in it. Jimmy was with him when he breathed his last.

On the wall above his ancient recliner was a huge marlin he caught deep-sea fishing. As a young man fishing was his passion, until he created his own two fish ponds and immediately lost interest.

He had soft spots. Once he spent his day off trying to buy my sister a skating skirt, black corduroy with a sequin mitten and satin lining. He never returned from a work trip without some small, affordable gift for us -- often the miniature soaps from the motel.

His childhood was cut short by the loss of his father and war. He would see the world in a way he never planned. He came home from the Pacific a man, and if the rest of his life was vaguely anti-climactic, he never complained. Life was duty, duty was life, and he never shirked either.

Board appoints Bynum as MVSU president JACKSON — The College Board has unanimously named William Bynum the next president of Mississippi Valley State University.

Bynum, most recently vice president of enrollment management and student services at Atlanta’s Morehouse College, was confirmed Tuesday after meeting with students, faculty and alumni in Itta Bena.

College Board spokeswoman Caron Blanton says Bynum will start full-time on Nov. 6. He’ll make at least $193,000 a year, although Blanton says Higher Education Chancellor Hank Bounds is negotiating with Valley’s foundation to increase the salary with donations.

Bynum, 51, was chosen in a

Compromise looms; default threat nears WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner traded heated rhetoric yet also showed signs of compromise Tuesday, a frustratingly inconclusive combination that left an eight-day partial government shutdown firmly in place and the threat of an unprecedented national default drawing closer.

Stocks fell significantly — the Dow Jones average by 159 points — as political gridlock endured. And, in the latest in a string of dire warnings, the International Monetary Fund said failure to raise America’s debt limit could lead to default and disrupt worldwide financial markets, raise interest rates and push the U.S economy back into recession.

Even the deaths of U.S. servicemen over the weekend in Afghanistan were grist for the politicians. The Pentagon said that because of the partial shutdown it was unable to pay the customary death benefits to the survivors. Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Congress had passed legislation last week permitting the payments, adding it was “disgraceful” for the administration to say otherwise.

In Congress, a plan

by Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit by $1 trillion to stave off a possible default drew little evidence of support from Republicans.

And a proposal by the House Republicans to create a working group of 20 lawmakers to tackle deficit issues drew a veto threat from the White House, the latest in a string of them as the administration insists the GOP reopen the government and avert default before any negotiations on deficit reduction or the three-year-old health care law can take place.

Shutdown slows safety protection WASHINGTON — The government shutdown has slowed or halted federal efforts to protect Americans’ health and safety, from probes into the cause of transportation and workplace accidents to tracking foodborne illness. The latest example: an outbreak of salmonella in chicken that has sickened people in 18 states.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that it was recalling some of its furloughed staff to deal with the outbreak, which has sickened more than 270 people. Before then, the CDC had only a hand-

ful of scientists working on outbreak detection, severely hampering its ability to track potentially deadly illnesses With federal workers on leave, the states have had to pick up much of the slack.

In the case of food safety, state labs are investigating foodborne illnesses and communicating with each other — without the help of federal authorities, in many cases — to figure out whether outbreaks have spread.

Browsing glitches add to insurance woes WASHINGTON — A decision by the Obama administration to require that consumers create online accounts before they can browse health overhaul insurance plans appears to have led to many of the glitches that have frustrated custom-

ers, independent experts say.

Most e-commerce websites — as well as medicare.gov — are not designed to require those merely browsing to set up accounts. But it’s one of the first steps on healthcare.gov.

Consumers trying to create their accounts multiplied the volume of online transactions that overwhelmed the website last week, causing long waits and exasperation. Many people were stopped by a balky security questions page.

The administration threw in additional computing hardware to handle the volume, and deployed software experts to patch the mechanism for creating accounts, but reports of delays persisted Tuesday.

For President Barack Obama, glitches involving his signature legislation are an unwelcome twist.

Suspects arrested in death of cyclist PICAYUNE — Two people have been arrested a hit-and-run incident on Aug. 22 that killed cyclist Luiz Perez of Lumberton.

Chief Deputy Shane Tucker with the Pearl River County Sheriff’s Department tells the Picayune Item that 38-year-old Thomas Jamison Bullock and 26-year-old Brandace R. Green, both of Purvis, are each charged with

felony leaving an accident scene causing death.

Tucker says Bullock is also charged with manslaughter and failure to yield to a bicyclist.

Tucker says drivers aren’t supposed to come closer than three feet to a cyclist.

Perez was riding west on a county road when he was hit by a vehicle.

Perez’s family became concerned after Perez never came home and went out searching for him. They discovered him in a ditch and called

47 apply to be McComb chief MCCOMB — McComb officials say 47 applications have been received for chief of police.

City Administrator Quordiniah Lockley tells the Enterprise-Journal that a selection committee will recommend the top 10 candidates for interviews and then present three names to city leaders.

From there, Lockley

will have the finalist certified by the Civil Service Commission.

He will then interview the three and choose a candidate to bring to the board of selectmen for a vote.

His goal is to have a new chief selected by the end of October. A similar process is being followed for a new fire chief.

The deadline for fire chief applications is Thursday. Lockley hopes to have the fire chief replacement for a board vote by the end of November.

Interrogators likely play good/bad cop WASHINGTON — Aboard a Navy warship, U.S. investigators are likely playing good cop/ bad cop, shouting and banging their hands on a table to get suspected al-Qaida operative Abu Anas al-Libi to give up key intelligence. That’s what they’re allowed to do, anyway. What interrogators shouldn’t be doing is putting a hood over al-Libi’s head, waterboarding him or depriving him of food.

The Obama administration would only say that al-Libi was being treated “humanely” as he is held on the USS San Antonio after he was captured in a raid in Libya over the weekend.

A team of U.S. investigators from the military, intelligence agencies and the Justice Department has been sent to question him, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the ongoing operation.

“We know that al-Libi planned and helped execute plots that killed hundreds of people,”

Obama told a news conference Tuesday. “We have strong evidence of that, and he will be brought to justice.”

While the U.S. once held people in secret prisons, questioned them over long periods of time, put duct tape over their eyes or forced them to strip naked, the Obama administration has swapped the secret “black sites” for battleships, acknowledged the capture and detention of a wanted terrorist and promised to stick to approved interrogation tactics like making sure the detainee has four hours of continuous sleep in a 24-hour period.

Al-Libi is being detained in military custody under the law of war, which means he can be captured and held indefinitely as an enemy combatant.

Court leans toward lifting giving limits WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court appeared ready Tuesday to free big individual donors to give more money to political candidates in the court’s first major campaign finance case since the justices took the lid off of indepen-

dent spending in 2010.

The court’s conservative justices, who formed the majority in 2010’s Citizens United case, voiced varying degrees of skepticism about the limits on what individuals may give candidates, political parties and political action committees in a two-year federal election cycle.

The argument in a packed courtroom that included members of Congress gave supporters of stringent campaign finance regulations little reason for optimism that the court would sustain limits that were enacted 40 years ago in response to Watergate-era abuses. The caps were intended to reduce the potential for political corruption.

Chief Justice John Roberts, possibly the pivotal vote in the case, said that telling an individual he can give the legal maximum of $2,600 per election to only a handful of candidates for Congress “seems to me a very direct restriction” on First Amendment rights.

Mormon church revising image SALT LAKE CITY — Wendy and Tom Montgomery went door-to-door in their

California neighborhood in 2008 campaigning for the passage of an anti-gay marriage proposition. They were among thousands of faithful Mormons following the direction of a church that spent millions on the cause.

Then they learned last year that their 15-yearold son is gay — a revelation that rocked their belief system.

Now, Wendy Montgomery is leading a growing movement among Mormons to push The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to teach that homosexuality isn’t a sin.

They are hopeful. The Utah-based church’s stance on homosexuality has softened considerably since it was one of the leading forces behind California’s Proposition 8. A new website launched this year encourages more compassion toward gays, implores them to stay in the faith and clarifies that church leaders no longer “necessarily advise” gays to marry people of the opposite sex in what used to be a widely practiced Mormon workaround for homosexuality. In May, church leaders backed the Boy Scouts’ policy allowing gays in the ranks.

Eye on Family Dollar

In transition

Wall Street expects Family Dollar’s latest quarterly earnings improved versus a year ago.

The discount retailer has continued to see a steady stream of shoppers since the recession, as consumers look for bargains on everyday goods and other items. Even so, management noted this summer that sales of discretionary items remained under pressure as shoppers watched their spending.

Family Dollar reports fiscal fourth-quarter results today.

Ruby Tuesday reports fiscal first-quarter earnings today.

The restaurant operator is in the middle of a transition as management looks to focus on its Ruby Tuesday chain. The company has closed a number of other chains, including Marlin & Ray’s and Wok Hay. That’s contributed to weak sales and charges, which have cut into its earnings this year.

Wall Street predicts a quarterly loss for Ruby’s latest quarter.

What’s a bigger draw in Mississippi than a season of SEC football?

A combined average of over 112,000 people attended each home football game at Mississippi State and Ole Miss last year. That’s a lot of people.

But did you know the number of adults reading a Mississippi newspaper in the past week was over 10 times that many?

That’s right, nearly 7 in 10 Mississippians – 1.5 million adults – read a newspaper last week.

If you’re an advertiser, newspapers continue to prove they’re capable of helping you score big with Mississippi consumers.

October 6-12 is National Newspaper Week.

Cheer for your team and then read all about it in your local paper. There is strength in numbers and There is Power in Print.

There is power in print.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Mississippi Speaker of the House Phillip Gunn hosts a town hall meeting in Corinth.

See complete coverage this week.

Daughter of murdered mom should learn the truth in time DEAR ABBY: My granddaughter was murdered by her boyfriend. They had an 18-month-old daughter, “Bella.” All three were living together when he shot her, but we don’t know what room Bella was in when it happened.

Another family member (I’ll call her Lucy) took Bella into her home, and Bella calls her Mom. Lucy has been taking Bella to the prison to visit her father, but has told her he is her uncle. I told Lucy I thought it would be better to wait until Bella is old enough to understand, THEN tell her what happened and let her decide whether she wants to visit her father.

Bella went into the closet one day and came out holding a Tshirt with her mother’s picture on it, asking, “Who is this?” Lucy’s only response was, “You know you aren’t allowed in my closet.

Take that back!” She never answered the question.

I have a framed photo of Bella’s mother on my wall. The last time Bella was here, I noticed her looking out of the corner of her eye and scowling at the picture. I was the only one who noticed.

Bella is now 4, and I can’t accept that Lucy thinks it’s OK to lie to her. I feel it should be Bella’s decision whether to visit her dad. Am I wrong? How should this be handled so Bella isn’t

traumatized any more than need be? Because of these incidents, I’m almost convinced she Abigail should have kind of Van Buren some counseling , but perhaps Dear Abby she’s too young. This is why I desperately need advice, in the best interest of the child.

-- BELLA’S GREAT-GRANDMA DEAR GREAT-GRANDMA: Is Lucy a member of your family or the murderous boyfriend’s? I find it hard to comprehend that a family member of the victim would drag a toddler to a prison to visit the lowlife who killed her mother.

I do not think it is healthy to lie to children. This situation will explode when Bella finally learns that the woman she has always called “Mom” isn’t her mother, and the man in the orange jumpsuit not only isn’t her uncle but killed her birth mother.

That poor girl won’t know whom she can believe and could have trust issues that affect her relationships for the rest of her life.

Does she need counseling now?

No. But will she when she finds out about the deception? You

bet!

DEAR ABBY: What is your opinion about females and car maintenance? My mother raised me alone and taught me to be independent. She would not let me drive an automatic car until I had mastered driving a standard (stick shift).

I was also not allowed to drive until I was able to perform basic, essential tasks -- changing a tire, checking the oil and maintaining all fluid levels.

I am thankful and appreciate that I have these skills. However, I know many women today who can’t perform these tasks and would rather make it a “man’s job.” I think every woman should have these skills. Where do you stand? -- INDEPENDENT LADY IN FLORIDA DEAR INDEPENDENT LADY: I stand beside you. There is no guarantee that a woman will have a man to “take care” of her -- in fact, the opposite is more likely to be true.

However, if she can’t learn the basics of taking care of her car, she should be sure that she’s a member of AAA. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Compassion starts at home. It is hard to be kind to others if you haven’t been kind to yourself.

With this in mind, take the time to do the things that make you smile.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Negative attitudes are contagious. Avoid the complainers and malcontents lest you become part of their clan. Make a move away from them to assure that you stay self-contained.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Whatever you believe about yourself, whether it’s accurate or completely off base, is likely to become true. With that in mind, try this one on for size: You are at the beginning of a cycle of prosperity.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your desire to overcome a problem or limitation is admirable, and yet you may be overlooking the main asset of your particular personality makeup. What if you embraced the flaw instead of trying to change it?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in charge in a hands-off kind of way. You’ll be the responsible party and a guide for others without micromanaging their efforts.

They can feel that you trust them, and they’ll work to maintain that trust.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t require a lot of external stimuli in your environment. In fact, you do your best work when the sound, light and personality of the room is muted enough to allow your rich inner life to take over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your moral compass is spinning, and you’ll strive to settle the dial in the right direction. You’ll act because you’re driven to do what you think is right, not because you want praise or attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There will be good news. This could have to do with an inheritance, a happy outcome from applying your personal talent or the acquisition of property. Enjoy this bounty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tenderness is the essential ingredient that will make your relationships work. It is the glue that holds your familial bonds and friendships together. It may seem counterintuitive, but tenderness makes you strong.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will build your assets by focusing on what you do have instead of on what you don’t have.

Put your energy into highlighting your best work. No one has quite your lineup of gifts and talents.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You admire people of action, but today it’s more important to consider the action itself and not just the person who moves on an impulse. As for you, you’re better off thinking things through for another day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Groups are powerful and sometimes not in a good way. Beware: The dominant forces in the room gain followers precisely because of their dominance, even though their message may be terribly off.

Points leader Matt Kenseth, who had won the two most recent Cup races at Kansas as well as Saturday’s Nationwide Series race, which was run on conventional tires, said the racing in Sunday’s Cup race was “just incredibly treacherous.”

Kenseth compared the racing to that at Charlotte Motor Speedway just after that track was repaved.

James Harvey Hylton, who was Rookie of the Year in the series now known as Sprint Cup, as well as the runner-up in the final points standings back in 1966, ran his final stock car race this past weekend at Kansas Speedway in the Kansas Lottery 98.9 ARCA Series race.

Hylton, 79, has run every ARCA event for the past three seasons and now plans to turn his No. 48 Ford over to a younger driver.

But as he relaxed at home in Inman, S.C., on Sunday night after his final drive, he said the reality of his retirement hadn’t sunk in yet.

“I’m really starting to feel the effect of working on the car 24/7, driving the tow truck and then driving the car,” he said. “But when it comes time to go to Daytona next February, I’ll probably have to cry for help.”

Hylton finished 18th in his final drive, one position off his best effort of the current season, and he said he was proud of his long run as a race driver.

“My legs and my arms still work, and I’m in pretty good health,” he said. “It’s all behind me now. My plan is to focus on being a team owner and a consultant to the driver.”

Hylton was once one of the top independent drivers in NASCAR. He won two races, fin-

ARCA

James Harvey Hylton ends noteworthy racing career at Kansas Speedway

James Harvey Hylton ished second in points three times and third four times. He ran his last major NASCAR races, in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, back in 2011.

Andy Belmont, an independent driver who

raced against Hylton both in the Sprint Cup Series and in ARCA before retiring from driving in 2006, helped sponsor Hylton’s final ride.

Belmont, who now runs a garage in his native Langhorne, Pa., said he has great respect for Hylton.

“No matter whether it was a good day or a bad day at the track, he was always appreciative that we were racing for a living,” Belmont said. “He is family to many of us.

It’s a privilege to be able to say he is my good friend and like an uncle to our kids.”

Before he started driving, Hylton worked on race cars and was a mechanic for Rex White when he won the Cup championship in 1960.

Hylton said those years with White gave him an advantage over the other independent drivers — and others — who he regularly outran. He said the knowledge he gained from White about car preparation gave him an edge once he started driving full-time.

“My cars rarely failed,” he said. “Some of the other independents might have been better drivers than me, but I was more consistent. My time with Rex is responsible for that.”

Penske announces extension of Keselowski partnership

Harold Hinson for Chevrolet

Goodyear’s new multiple-compound right-side tires got positive reviews after they were used on Labor Day weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where the asphalt is old, worn and abrasive.

The comments weren’t as positive after the tire technology was put to the test on a freshly paved Kansas Speedway for Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400.

The tire confounded many a driver and crew, and some of the top drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup were among those who never seemed to figure it out. Drivers struggling with tires led to a track record 15 caution periods, which consumed 71 of the race’s 267 laps.

Kevin Harvick and his No. 29 Chevrolet team mastered the challenge better than most, as he dominated the race en route to his 22nd career win, his third of the season and first ever at Kansas.

Even so, he acknowledged that the tires were tricky.

“It was an interesting weekend, to say the least,” Harvick said in his winner’s interview. “Obviously, everybody was battling the tires and the track, and I think it was like driving on a razor blade.”

But Harvick, like many of his competitors, said the real problem is with the asphalt being used to pave race tracks these days.

“I don’t think there were any issues with the tire,” he said. “I think the issue is the pavement and the things they keep repaving these race tracks with that puts

NOTEBOOK

Penske Racing has announced multiyear extensions of its partnerships with defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski and MillerCoors, the longtime sponsor of the No. 2 Ford now driven by Keselowski.

“This is an important day, as these agreements will allow Penske Racing to invest significantly in our people and our technology — two critical areas to a successful race team,” team owner Roger Penske said in a release announcing the extensions.

But the sponsorship is not for the full season, as it has been in the past.

Miller Lite will be the primary sponsor for 24 points-paying races and an associate sponsor for the remaining 12.

Penske and MillerCoors have had a relationship for the past 30 years.

NASCAR VP clarifies TV broadcast partners for 2014 NASCAR’s TV broadcasts will continue next year as they have in recent seasons, despite talk that the sport’s new TV contract with NBC and FOX might take effect a year early.

NASCAR Vice President of Broadcasting and Production Steve Herbst issued a statement last week: “Despite speculation over the last month that NASCAR’s new television agreement could be pushed up to the start of the 2014 season, NASCAR has informed our broadcast partners today that FOX, Turner and ESPN will finish the current term as originally planned. While we were humbled by the desire of NBC and FOX to start 12 months early, we now consider this matter closed, and look forward to finishing our current agreement in 2014 with our great partners at FOX, Turner and ESPN.”

(finished 13th) 2,139 points; behind -44 He finished better than he expected on a tough afternoon. “I drove hard, and we had about a 30th-place car and finished 13th with it, so I am pretty happy with that.”

7. Kurt Busch

(finished second) 2,136 points; behind -47 He started 41st after wrecking in practice, but bounced back to score his best finish of the Chase, which tied his best finish of the regular season, and moved up two spots in the standings, ending a two-race stretch of mediocre performances. “We just have to keep plugging away. We will get there.”

8. dale earnhardt Jr.

(finished eighth) 2,129 points; behind -54 Other than a blown engine in the Chase opener at Chicagoland that relegated him to a 35th-place finish, he’s been one of the best performers so far, with finishes of sixth at New Hampshire and second at Dover before another strong run at Kansas.

9. clint Bowyer

(finished 14th) 2,128 points; behind -55 The driver at the center of the race-manipulating controversy at Richmond is still seeking his first top-5 finish in the Chase and wasn’t able to

capitalize on a home-track setting. “I thought for sure we were going to come out of there with a top-5 ... It didn’t turn out that way, but we’ll take what we got and move on to Charlotte.”

10. Joey loGano

(finished fourth) 2,124 points; behind -59 He backed up his third-place finish at Dover, but he’s still buried in the standings because of a blown engine at Chicagoland that left him 37th in the Chase opener. “It was pretty crazy out there.”

11. carl edwards

(finished fifth) 2,123 points; behind -60 His best Chase finish to date came at his home track, but he’s still suffering points-wise because of a parts failure that left him 35th at Dover. “I don’t know if we actually deserved to finish that well, as much as I wanted to finish better than that. We struggled.”

12. ryan newMan

(finished 35th) 2,110 points; behind -73 Being collected in a crash by Justin Allgaier cost him five positions in the standings and likely wiped out any chance he had of winning the championship. “We were in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in an accident not of our making.”

13. Kasey Kahne

(finished 15th) 2,100 points; behind -83 He’s not been able to match the Chase performances of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates Johnson, Gordon and Earnhardt. His finish at Kansas left him in the Chase cellar for the third straight week, as he’s still seeking his first top10 finish since a second-place run at Bristol on Aug. 24.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State has two good quarterbacks and one shaky defense heading into this Saturday’s game with Bowling Green.

The Bulldogs looked good offensively with Tyler Russell and Dak Prescott sharing time under center, but they’re trying to correct some defensive problems that allowed LSU to score eight touchdowns — including four in the fourth quarter — in Saturday’s 59-26 loss.

Coach Dan Mullen said Mississippi State’s main problem on defense is too much aggression, which

causes players to get out of position.

If the Bulldogs can shore up the defensive problems, the offense appears capable of putting up points. Russell was 7 of 11 passing for 146 yards and two touchdowns against LSU in his first game back since missing a month with a concussion.

He split time with Prescott, who threw for 106 yards and ran for a team-high 103 yards.

Mississippi State offensive coordinator Les Koenning said having two quarterbacks has pushed both to improve.

Russell threw his 39th career touchdown pass against LSU, which set a school record, but

Prescott has also been impressive with his ability to improvise and make plays with his arm and running ability.

“That’s part of being successful, knowing that you’ve got to be on your game,” Koenning said. “There’s somebody sitting on the bench right behind you who can play, too.”

Russell was immediately productive on Saturday, leading a touchdown drive on his first series. The 20-yard touchdown pass to Jameon Lewis was a beauty — Russell floated the throw over an LSU defender and hit Lewis in the corner of the end zone.

Mullen said the throw

wasn’t just a reminder of Russell’s arm, but also his mental aptitude.

“The touchdown pass was a great play — he changed the play at the line of scrimmage, changed the protection and the route,” Mullen said. “He saw a certain look and wanted to change to something different. That just shows his experience.”

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Russell said missing three games was tough, but provided a different perspective that can make him a better quarterback.

Pacman Jones found not guilty The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was found not guilty on Tuesday of an assault charge accusing him of punching a woman in the head at a nightclub.

A visiting judge in Hamilton County Municipal Court heard the case after Jones, who has had a spate of legal troubles, waived a jury trial. Jones could have been sentenced to up to six months in jail if convicted.

Jones was accused of hitting Shannon Wesley outside a downtown Cincinnati nightclub and was arrested in June. He had pleaded not guilty and been released on his own recognizance.

The judge heard more than two hours of testimony from Wesley on Tuesday.

Wesley said Jones punched her in the head with a closed fist, knocking her to the ground. But she also said the punch came after she poured beer on Jones’ arm in an attempt to get him to leave her and her friends alone.

Wesley said Jones was aggressive and called her and the other women names preceded by adjectives including “sloppy” and “fat.”

“We were scared,” she said.

The judge said in delivering his ruling that surveillance video of the bar’s patio showed the beer bottle pointing toward Jones’ face, near his eye.

“The initial aggressor in this case was Shannon Wesley with the beer bottle,” Judge Robert Taylor said.

Witnesses testified there was cursing from both sides, and the judge noted a lack of civility from those involved, including Jones.

Braves feel good about future despite flop The Associated Press

ATLANTA — For most of the season, the Atlanta Braves were overachievers.

They lost seven players to season-ending injuries. Two more key players batted under .200. Even with all that, the Braves managed to win 96 games and capture their first division since 2005.

But once October arrived, it was the same ol’ story.

Another postseason disappointment.

The Braves haven’t won a postseason series since 2001, their streak of eight straight losses now the second-longest

in baseball history to the Chicago Cubs, who dropped 10 series in a row between 1910 and 1998, according to STATS LLC. “A lot of good stuff happened,” manager Fredi Gonzalez insisted after the season ended Monday night in the NL division series with a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. “A lot of guys participated in the 96win season. It’s going to be one of those seasons that you’re not going to appreciate for about a couple of weeks, and then you say, ‘You know what? It was a pretty darn good team, a pretty darn good season.’”

Indeed, there are plenty of

reasons for the Braves to be hopeful.

First baseman Freddie Freeman had an MVP-type season.

Young pitchers Kris Medlen, Mike Minor and Julio Teheran took the lead in the starting rotation, especially after Tim Hudson went down with a broken ankle. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons could be in line for a Gold Glove. Evan Gattis emerged as one of the NL’s top rookies. Closer Craig Kimbrel had another dominant season.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen during the offseason, but I’m already looking

forward to spring training,” Freeman said. “Hopefully we can start preparing over again with these same guys. I think we’re really close.”

But the postseason has been a huge stumbling block. Since winning the NL pennant in 1999, the Braves are 13-30 in playoff games — with only one victory in 11 postseason series during that span.

With so many young players, the Braves aren’t headed for a major overhaul during the offseason. Catcher Brian McCann and Hudson are the only prominent players eligible for free agency.

Game 5 starters both coming off stingy efforts The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Heading into Game 5 of their NL division series against Pittsburgh, the Cardinals can take comfort in this: They’re 7-1 the last three years when facing postseason elimination.

Manager Mike Matheny said poise comes from a mindset of sticking to routine that is established during spring training.

“We saw it in Pittsburgh, and I anticipate seeing it to-

morrow,” Matheny said Tuesday after most players attended an optional workout. “They show up like it’s another — it’s another great day.”

Starter Adam Wainwright was loose and playful on the podium, joking that he got knocked out early on purpose in last year’s division series finale at Washington to “get the mojo flowing.” He tore a page from the Tony La Russa quote book, declining to discuss possible wrinkles for Game 5,

turning to Matheny and asking, “Is that a scouting report?

That’s a scouting report.”

Though this is the Pittsburgh Pirates’ first playoff appearance since 1992, they’ve looked seasoned, too.

“This is obviously an exciting time, a high-pressure situation, and you know, this is what you prepare for all year,” rookie starter Gerrit Cole said.

“Yeah, it’s extremely exciting, and I can’t wait.”

The Pirates will be facing an

opponent they all know too well. It’ll be the 24th meeting of the season, with strong stretches on both sides and the Pirates holding a 12-11 edge.

“You’ve got to meet the demands of the game,” manager Clint Hurdle said. “I don’t think I’ve been in a game where somebody just didn’t show up.”

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been. It was good for me to take that approach and help any way I could.â&#x20AC;?

Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LaDarius Perkins also had his best game of the season, rushing for 81 yards on 10 carries. The senior has been hobbled by an ankle injury the entire season, but said he was close to 100 percent against the Tigers.

LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger, receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and running back Jeremy Hill combined to make Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense miserable.

Mullen said a review of game film showed that his young defense took some unnecessary risks, especially in the second half when the Tigers reeled off 31 unanswered points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying too hard to make plays at times,â&#x20AC;?

Wainwright allowed a run in seven innings in the opener and is 5-0 in his last six starts.

Summer-blooming zinnia gets autumn second wind I have to admit that I’m ready for this hot and really humid Mississippi summer to be over. Even though we are officially in the fall season, those high temps have been lingering into October.

But it seems we may have turned the corner towards lower temperatures. I even slept with the window open recently for the first time since I don’t know when.

This means cool-season annuals will soon be showing up.

Instead of talking once again about how to use these plants in our landscapes and gardens, I’m going to reverse course and suggest that we not be too hasty planting pansies, Gary violas, dianthus and snapBachman dragons. Perhaps we need to give our summer annuSouthern als a chance for one more Gardening flash of color.

It turns out that gardeners aren’t the only ones who appreciate moderating temperatures. Hot weather can take a toll on summer-blooming plants, but lower fall temperatures can inspire flowering once again.

While visiting a couple of north Mississippi gardens in early October, I was reminded of how outstanding Zahara Cherry zinnias really are in the fall. If you have Zahara zinnias in your landscape beds, leave them alone for a few more weeks and see for yourself.

Zahara zinnias produce mounds of colorful flowers. They are robust, they have excellent branching that supports many flowers, and they have a natural resistance to powdery mildew.

I really like the new bicolor selection called Sunburst. The flowers open gold, and a red stripe is supposed to appear down the center of the petals. But in our hot summers, that stripe does not develop very well because of our warm nights.

When cooler fall weather arrives, the red stripe thickens and becomes more pronounced.

Zahara zinnias are well suited for container gardening. You can extend their flowering season by bringing the containers inside when it gets cold. Always plant them in peat-based potting media. Moni-

Zahara Cherry is a beautiful summerblooming zinnia that produces a new round of colorful blooms in the fall. tor moisture, as containers dry out much quicker than in-ground landscape beds.

Amend landscape beds with 3 to 4 inches of a good-quality compost at spring planting to help ensure fall beds have adequate fertility. Raised beds result in superior plant growth and flowering by increasing the soil drainage.

Maintain a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch to keep the soil warmer. This is opposite of what we use mulch for in the summer, but keeping the soil warmer encourages plants to keep producing beautiful flowers farther into the fall.

Even though Zahara zinnias tolerate droughty conditions, be sure to water them during extremely dry periods.

Plants require less supplemental irrigation when lower temperatures arrive. If you do irrigate your fall Zahara zinnias, I recommend soaker hoses or other driptype system as an efficient way to maintain soil moisture.

And even though it is the fall, don’t forget to feed your Zahara zinnias. Rather than using a granular, slow-release fertilizer, I recommend a water-soluble mixture as an easy way to keep the plants fed this fall.

So go ahead and enjoy the fall resurgence of your Zahara zinnias. There will be plenty of time later this fall to plant your cool-season flowering annuals.

Law enforcement says ATV laws are too vague

BY J. B. CLARK Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal

TUPELO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The law on all-terrain vehicle use in Mississippi has gotten a little tighter over the past three years.

Helmets are now required, as are certification courses for underage operators.

But many law enforcement officials say the law still lacks teeth because it provides no penalty for driving ATVs on public roads.

Each year in Mississippi, an average of 18 people die in ATV accidents, according to data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Mississippi State Department of Health. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ATV death rate far exceeds the national average and is particularly high for children under 16.

More than half of ATV deaths occur on public roads.

Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ATV death rate is 61.22 per million people, 3.5 times higher than the national average (18.74 per million people). The rate increases for children under 16 where the death rate is 73.76 per million when ATVs are involved, nearly four times higher than the national average of 18.99 per million.

Between 2005 and 2008, Mississippi hospitals reported treating an average of 912 ATVrelated injuries for every 100,000 Mississippians, according to the Center for Mississippi Health Policy.

ATV injuries cost $1.3 million to treat in 2009 at

the Blair E. Batson Hospital, the University of Mississippi Medical Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital, alone, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Many law enforcement officers, however, say Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an effective and inclusive punishment for violators so they end up using other laws, like improper equipment or driving an unregistered vehicle, instead of the actual ATV law, to write tickets.

The improper equipment ticket applies to most ATVs. Since they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sold to be driven on paved roads, they often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include required equipment like rearview mirrors or proper lighting.

Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said he has seen an 8-year-old receive an ATV safety course certification making a scenario possible where an 8-yearold with a helmet and ATV certification could drive a properly outfitted ATV, and under the law a ticket could be written but no fine could be levied.

Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield, a member of the Mississippi Sheriffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative committee, said in order to give the law a bigger impact, his deputies will write an improper equipment ticket and then tow the ATV if an operator is caught driving it on a public road.

Tupelo Police Cpl. Philip Sanderson said since the ATV law is vague, he also usually tells his patrol officers to write

Dancing also qualifies as physical therapy.

an improper equipment ticket.

Currently, the law says anyone who meets the requirements (a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, or a helmet and ATV safety course certification for those under 16) can operate ATVs on public property.

A violation of that law can carry up to a $50 fine.

An amendment to the law says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize operation of an off-road vehicle on a public road or highway .,â&#x20AC;? but Johnson said that particular section (6331-3-6) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide a penalty.

Johnson, Sanderson and Mayfield all agree a law clearly banning ATVs on public roads with a clear penalty would give law enforcement a real tool with which to enforce the law and, in turn, deter people, especially young people, from riding ATVs on the road.

Martin Pace, Warren County Sheriff and Mississippi Sheriffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative committee member, said he has brought this issue up with his local representatives and it has been discussed in the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something I would absolutely support,â&#x20AC;? he said of a specific law banning ATVs from public roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole purpose of having traffic laws, to deter that specific activity. I think the big picture is it will save lives, injury and property.â&#x20AC;?

Pace said he has trouble with young people riding four-wheelers on subdivision streets in the suburbs of Vicksburg.
