City election to decide two races BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

With just two races left to be decided, Corinth’s municipal general election will take place on Tuesday. City Hall will be open for voting between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. As in the primary,

all voting will take place in the truck bays of the fire department on the west side of the building, so there will be no need to enter the main portion of the building. The election will decide the races for police chief and alderman at large. Absentee voting has slowed

compared to the pace of the Democratic primary, in which the ward 4 race fueled a large number of absentees. The number topped 100 late in the week. “I’m expecting a low to moderate turnout of 1,000 to 1,500,” said City Clerk Vickie Roach. About 2,400 voted in Sep-

tember’s Democratic primary. With David Lancaster retiring from the department after nine years as chief, vying to replace him are Ralph Dance, the captain of detectives, and Fred Gooch, a patrol sergeant. Dance, running as a Democrat, first worked with Corinth

PD in the 1990s before becoming a criminal investigator for the district attorney’s office. He returned to CPD in 2002. Dance won a slim victory in the Democratic primary over another officer, Ben Gann. Please see ELECTION | 6A

Police chief of 9 years retiring BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

David Lancaster got the job he always wanted. “I knew at probably 15, 16 years old that when I got 21, I wanted to be a police officer,” said Corinth’s police chief for the past nine years. His time as the city’s top cop will end when the new term of office begins on Nov. 3. “I have enjoyed the job,” he said while reflecting on a law enforcement career that began in the early 1980s. “I think I enjoy the people more than anything else, anytime I have the opportunity to help someone, and I’ve been blessed with a good group of people to work with.” As the retiring chief reflects on his time with Corinth PD, Barney Fife looks on from a framed photo bearing the signa-

ture of Don Knotts on his office wall. But it was’t any television show that pointed him in this direction, although he admits a fondness for the small-town stylings of Andy Griffith. “I don’t know exactly what led me to the police department, but that’s what I wanted to do,” he said. After high school, he worked for CTI Manufacturing before joining the police department in 1982. He worked the radio as a dispatcher for a couple of months before going on patrol, and he graduated from the police academy in 1983. In the mid-1980s, he left the department for a little more than a year while he worked in the law enforcement division of the Mississippi State Tax Commission, working the scales.

ACHS hosts Fall Festival Oct. 16 BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Daily Corinthian Cat of the Week This week’s Daily Corinthian Cat of the Week is Hallie, a female orange and white adult cat around 2 years old. She is very gentle and playful. Her ID number is 1001. You may contact the Corinth Alcorn Animal Shelter at 662-284-5800 with any questions about Hallie or any other adoptable pets.

In an effort to raise much needed funds to complete the security updates on their buildings, Alcorn Central High School is holding a Fall Festival for students, parents and members of the community. “The faculty and staff would like to invite everyone to come with their families and enjoy a fun night together as we raise money to fund our security and technology efforts around our campus,” said Assistant Principal Chad Lindamood. The ACHS Fall Festival will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16 in the parking lot and gym

area of the school. Family-friendly activities will include a haunted house, bounce houses, a cake walk, face painting, football toss and dunking booth. Cool raffle prizes will be awarded and concessions available for purchase. Attendees will have a chance to win a $100 gift card or other great prizes. Raffle tickets are $1 each. There will be a silent auction and other fun activities surrounding the larger events. “Thanks to local businesses and members of the community, we have had multiple items donated to sale during the silent auction,”

said Lindamood. There is no charge to attend the festival, but activities will cost one or two tickets. A ticket booth will be set up for convenience. “The festival will be held in coordination with parent/ teacher night, allowing the opportunity for parents to meet with their child’s teachers,” said the assistant principal. “We see it as a great way to increase our community involvement and to reach out to our families at ACHS. Experience has proven that the more involved family members are, the higher their kids will achieve academically.”

The third bridge was of historical value, and Waldron said he worked with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History when moving the bridge to another location. “After I got permission, we moved the old iron bridge down County Road 609,” he said. “It is now being used in the area known as Dead Man’s Curve on old Highway 72.” Alcorn County Board of Supervisors President Lowell Hinton, representatives from Cook Coggin Engineers, members of

On this date: In 1492 (according to the Old Style calendar), Christopher Columbus arrived with his expedition in the present-day Bahamas. In 1870, General Robert E. Lee died in Lexington, Virginia, at age 63. In 1942, during World War II, American naval forces defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Cape Esperance. Attorney General Francis Biddle announced during a Columbus Day celebration at Carnegie Hall in New York that Italian nationals in the United States would no longer be considered enemy aliens. In 1994, the Magellan space probe ended its four-year mapping mission of Venus, apparently plunging into the planet’s atmosphere. In 1999, Pakistan’s military overthrew the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. NBA Hall-of-Famer Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain died at his Los Angeles home at age 63.

Our View

AMEN Food Pantry needs our help now The shelves are bare at the local AMEN Food Pantry and the organization has issued a call for help. The 20-year-old Corinth-based food bank needs donations of food or money to continue its mission of helping neighbors in need. “It’s unreal,” volunteer Thomas Pettie recently said of the demand for assistance. In just one recent weekday during a twohour period, 52 local families sought food from AMEN. The holidays usually bring an increase in donations, and the shelves can get depleted at other times of the year with only the support of donations and volunteers to keep it going. The need never goes away. The pantry sees 300 or more families each month and has served about 30,000 families since its opening in 1993. Clients are allowed to receive assistance every three months. We urge all civic groups, scouts, churches, schools, businesses and industries and even family groups to conduct a food drive this month to collect food for the pantry. Don’t wait until Thanksgiving or Christmas. Let’s do it this month while the need is so great. If every Fall Festival at every local church and school this month required a canned good as a price of admission, it would create thousands of items to be given to AMEN. The pantry is located at 104 Linden Street across the street from Refreshments and next door to Lamar Outdoors. The pantry asks for nonperishable items such as peanut butter, spaghetti, boxes of crackers, canned vegetables, tuna and soups. No glass containers are allowed. It also accepts toilet paper, hand soap and toothpaste. Monetary donations are always welcomed. Dedicated volunteers open the pantry Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to noon. This would be a good time to deliver food or your donation there. Please contribute to this worthy cause to help those in need. The greatest calling in life is to help others. Amen. Daily Corinthian

Supreme Court’s nonruling on gay marriage Three points need to be made about Monday’s decision by the Supreme Court not to decide whether the equal protection clause of the Constitution grants people of the same sex the right to marry. Point 1: While the court’s liberal wing probably wanted to accept cases banning same-sex marriage in five states that have been overturned by three different federal appeals courts in recent months, the conservative majority, along with swing Justice Anthony Kennedy, apparently wished to see states resolve the issue. Perhaps they sought to avoid another Roe vs. Wade in which a previous court overturned all state abortion laws, creating a controversy that continues today. Even so, Kennedy waded into the deep again on Wednesday, blocking the appeals court ruling declaring gay marriage legal in Idaho and Nevada, but it’s likely only a temporary delay. Point 2: For strict constructionists, the nonruling allows the culture to sort out the arguments consistent with what clearly are changing social mores. Whether this is good or bad is not up

to courts to decide, conservatives might argue, but it beats top-down judicial acCal tivism of the Thomas type conservatives hate Columnist when liberal judges do it. Point 3: The main arguments against permitting same-sex couples to marry are moral and biblical. The problem, especially for conservative Christians who oppose the legalization of gay marriage, is that they are speaking to people who don’t accept their moral code, or biblical instruction. They cite Genesis 2:24: “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” That verse is also quoted by Jesus in the New Testament. Here’s why invoking verses from the Bible isn’t working. In addition to the courts having abandoned such instruction, along with, in too many cases, the Constitution that is supposed to constrain government, a growing number of people no longer accept biblical

teaching. Many, the products of liberal universities, also regard the Constitution as a “living document,” by which they mean it, too, can be changed or ignored to suit the times. There are at least two problems with using a moral and biblical argument. One is: How do same-sex marriage opponents persuade people who don’t believe traditional marriage was God’s idea and should remain as He intended? The answer is they can’t. And so it becomes a political power play with one side quoting Scripture or history and the other side demanding “equality.” Whoever gets the most votes – at the ballot box or by judicial decision – wins. A second problem for same-sex marriage opponents is: “What’s next?” What standard should be used to decide the legitimacy, even morality, of others who make similar appeals to equality for their behavior? If there is no longer to be a single standard for marriage, what other standards might soon be abandoned? This is the most important point of all, because if there is to be no standard

are we prepared for the social anarchy that will likely follow? Is the acceptance of everything simply a matter of conditioning, or are there some things that are true for all time, regardless of the age? Are we willing to accept the consequences of being mini-gods, deciding what is right and wrong in our own eyes? Is this the ultimate triumph of the “If it feels good, do it” mantra of the ‘60s? Those who regard samesex marriage as more evidence of a decline in morality will see America following other great empires and nations that collapsed from within before they were conquered from without. Those working so diligently to attack structures that have preserved cultures for centuries have an obligation to at least tell us how far they intend to go and on what basis they would shout, “stop, no further.” (Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

GOP edge: National Security BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Increasingly, the midterm elections are trending toward the Republican candidates throughout the nation. While some states are behind the curve – North Carolina and Michigan – the others show mounting Republican leads. Beyond disapproval of Obama and his policies, the impetus for this trend lies in the focus on national security, terrorism and foreign policy issues that has suddenly gripped the nation. A content analysis of the daily news shows that with each beheading, the focus on the disastrous events in the Middle East grows. With attack helicopters now flying missions against ISIS, we are, effectively, in our third Iraq war. Every issue has an innate and largely immutable partisan skew. After decades of experience, voters have come to see each issue as “belonging” to one party or the other. Only through great effort and massive expenditure can the other party win an edge on an issue biased against it.

Education, environment, poverty, Social Security, elderly and health care are almost always Democratic issues. Taxation, budget deficits, defense, national security, social values and crime have an innate Republican bias. Usually the topic that gets the most national attention is a sure indicator of which party will win the election. The increasing focus on national security issues as Obama’s amateurish foreign policy unravels likely presages big Republican majorities. It generally doesn’t matter how the flow of argument goes, it is the topic itself that dictates the outcome. Rarely, very rarely, a party can temporarily steal an issue from its rival. George W. Bush neutralized the education issue by focusing on it almost exclusively in his 2000 convention and proposing the No Child Left Behind Act. Soon, however, the issue was back in the Democratic camp. Similarly, Bill Clinton borrowed the crime issue in 1996 by legislation on extra police, a federal death penalty, more

prisons space, and gun control. Obama’s terrible health care program has driven that issue into Republican hands since 2010. But the president’s foreign policy is – to say the least – not sufficiently effective to compel support that would cut against the natural grain of the issue. The domination of the news cycle by foreign and defense issues are likely to accelerate, not slacken, as the midterm elections approach. Obama is not in control of events. Russia and Ukraine come into the news whenever Putin wants them to. ISIS dominates coverage by its barbarity and military progress. The inability of American airstrikes to stop its military assure that the issue will continue at the forefront of the news. The failure of Obama’s foreign policy – in particular of his withdrawal from Iraq and his betting on the Arab Spring – is a uniquely personal one to the president. It was his advocacy that now looks. Neither the Russia reset button nor his overtures

to Islam seem particularly prescient in the current crisis. Nor are there other issues in Obama’s quiver to take away focus from national security. He can’t suddenly make abortion, birth control or climate change central national issues. If the focus on national security ever dims, his deeply unpopular health care law, the torrent of illegal immigration and the possibility of an Ebola outbreak loom in the background ready to step into the breech. None of them good issues for the Democrats or for Obama. As political consultants, candidates and armchair quarterbacks focus on each day’s new polling in the 12 key battleground states, it is easy to ignore the macro developments that are shaping the race. But none of them are helpful to the president or to his Party’s Senate candidates. (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.)

Court orders on voting about timing WASHINGTON — In seemingly contradictory voting-rights actions just a month before November’s elections, the Supreme Court has allowed new Republicaninspired restrictions to remain in force in North Carolina and Ohio while blocking Wisconsin’s voter identification law. But there’s a thread of consistency: In each case, the court appears to be seeking a shortterm outcome that is the least disruptive for the voting process. Another test of the court’s outlook on voter ID laws could come from Texas, where the state is promising to appeal a ruling that struck down its strict law as unconstitutional racial discrimination. None of the orders issued by the high court in recent days is a final ruling on the constitutionality of the laws. The orders are all about timing — whether the laws can be used in this year’s elections — while the justices defer consideration of their validity. In some ways, these disputes over the mechanics of voting are like others that crop up frequently just before elections as part of last-minute struggles by partisans to influence who can vote. Republican lawmakers say the measures are needed to reduce voter fraud. Democrats contend they are thinly veiled attempts to keep eligible voters, many of them minorities supportive of Democrats, away from the polls. Court rulings at various levels have also revealed partisan divisions. Most judges who voted to uphold the restrictive laws or allow them to take effect while the legal fights play out are Republican appointees.

The documents, part of 10,000 pages of records from the Clinton administration released Friday, did not appear to reveal any new information that might affect a potential Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign. But the papers focused on a number of painful chapters in the former first lady’s time in the White House and described how the president’s aides sought to defend her husband against impeachment. Many records involving Lewinsky are redacted, but one document sheds light on her job: Lewinsky sent an official request to hang a picture of Clinton, signing a telecommunications bill, in a White House legislative affairs office. Behind the scenes, Clinton officials were adamant that they were not trying to discredit Lewinsky. “There is no evidence whatsoever that the White House was directing or involved in any campaign against her,” Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal wrote in a January 1999 memo. In another email, Blumenthal derides Linda Tripp, a former White House aide who secretly recorded Lewinsky discussing the president. But the case caused political tensions. An aide notes in one document that then-Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening, a Democrat, explained “why he felt he needed to distance himself” from Clinton. The papers touch on the 1993 death of deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster, the Whitewater investigation into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s land dealings in Arkansas, and pardons Bill Clinton granted in his final

Mexico drug money coming in to U.S. CHULA VISTA, Calif. — For a company that booked $12 million in annual sales importing snacks like chile- and lime-flavored chips from Mexico, Baja Distributors Inc.’s offices were oddly quiet. There were no signs outside. Its small warehouse was almost empty. Phones went unanswered. Investigators say there was a reason for the anonymity: The business was laundering money from Mexican drug traffickers. Baja Distributors, whose executives denied laundering drug money, brought more than $17 million from Mexico in 18 months. U.S. front companies for cartels aren’t new, but U.S. officials say they took a more prominent role after Mexico capped dollar deposits in cash at $7,000 a month for businesses in 2010, later raised to $14,000. As a result, they say, cartels sought companies to deposit money in American banks and wire it back in pesos under the guise of international trade. San Diego, the largest American city on Mexico’s border, became a magnet for cash coming to the country from Mexico, according to an Associated Press analysis of customs declarations since 2009. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto lifted the restrictions last month, saying the antimoney laundering measure harmed honest businesses. The move sparked concern among some U.S. officials that cartels may go back to walking into Mexican banks to deposit sacks of drug-tainted dollars.

Death row appeals agency needs money JACKSON — The director of the Mississippi Office of Capital PostConviction Counsel is asking lawmakers for more money to hire staff. Louwlynn Vanzetta Williams told The Clarion-Ledger the legal office which handles appeals for indigent death row inmates has four attorneys handling 22 death row cases while others are farmed out to private lawyers. The office is seeking an additional $459,204 next budget year from the general fund, which would be a 35 percent increase over the current budget of about $1.3 million. The Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel, established by the Legislature in 2000, was designed to cut the appeal process to expedite death penalty cases. Williams said over the years, the office has lost 13 staffers, who haven’t been replaced.

Weather postpones marching band fest TUPELO — A weekend of rain has washed out the MHSAA Region 1 Marching Band Festival scheduled for Saturday at Tupelo High School. Tupelo band director Tim Matlock says the event has been rescheduled for Oct. 18. He says 28 of the 30 bands scheduled for this week said they will return. Matlock says a schedule of performances will be released Monday. Matlock says the two bands that opted not to

return will be able to get their rating at a similar event in Meridian or Grenada. The festivals around Mississippi determine what bands will go to state competition in November. The area around Tupelo High School received an inch of rain Friday afternoon and another inch and a half overnight.

Lions ask for Pike multipurpose site MCCOMB — The McComb Lions Club is tired of holding its annual horse show in another county and it’s asking Pike County supervisors to provide a building closer to home. The club held its annual Heart o’ Dixie Championship Walking and Racking Horse Show recently at Southwest Event Center in Tylertown in neighboring Walthall County. The Enterprise-Journal reports club member Tony Nettles told the board of supervisors the former location, the Heart o’ Dixie Arena on U.S. Highway 98 East in McComb, is too expensive for the club to maintain. “It’s a sad state that we have to leave Pike County and go somewhere else to hold our show,” he said. Board President Chuck Lambert said the issue has been previously discussed,

College student being held on bond HATTIESBURG — A Mississippi college student is being held on

bond of $17,300 after a bungled prank led to the deaths of two Chilean flamingos at the Hattiesburg Zoo. Hattiesburg police spokesman Lt. Jon Traxler said 19-yearold Devin Nottis of Pascagoula is charged with grand larceny, two counts of animal cruelty and trespassing. Bond was set during a court appearance Friday. Nottis remained in the Forrest County jail Saturday. If convicted, Nottis faces a maximum of 10 years on the grand larceny charge. The other charges are misdemeanors. The University of Southern Mississippi student was arrested Wednesday night. The university put Nottis on interim suspension, and put the fraternity he was pledging, Pi Kappa Alpha, on indefinite suspension. The chapter also was placed on administrative suspension by the national organization. Traxler said nine other students are being investigated and may face conspiracy charges in connection with the incident. Police say that during a fraternity scavenger hunt, Nottis took a flamingo instead of taking a picture of the bird. The executive director of the organization that runs the Hattiesburg Zoo says a female bird was taken at 1:08 a.m. Tuesday and found later that morning, several miles away. Rick Taylor says it was returned to the zoo and had to be euthanized because of its injuries.

Gooch, running as a Republican, has a varied background including several years as an infantryman in the U.S. Army, delivering for Suitor’s Meat Company and managing a bowling alley. He joined the police department in 2004 and serves as a traffic safety officer, juvenile officer, community police officer and K-9 officer. The race for alderman at large finds two-term incumbent Mike Hop-

kins challenged by John Orman. Hopkins defeated Jennifer S. McCoy in the Democratic primary. Hopkins, on the Democratic ticket, has owned Mike Hopkins Truck Sales since 1978. Orman, running as a Republican, is a former employee of Biggers Hardware and currently works for Nickels Signs & Graphics. In 2008, he was the field representative for north Mississippi on U.S. Sen.

The first stop will be the Alcorn Career & Technology Center. “TriGreen Equipment of Athens, Ala. will have some precision farming equipment students are using,” said Mitchell. “Those on the tour will be able to see what the equipment is doing in farming and agriculture at the center.” Those making the tour will also be able to see

them with a single herbicide application per year,” Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said in a written report to the board. “The fall application will kill off any remaining vegetation to assist in furthering our control. The spring application will be performed once the Johnson grass starts to grow and should knock out nearly everything except Bermuda grass and established trees.” The specifications call for the Bermuda grass to remain on the banks in order to prevent erosion from clearing the banks

entirely. Chempro performed the previous spraying along the city’s canals.

since those days in the early ‘80s. “When I started with the department, you probably had three, maybe four officers max on a shift,” said Lancaster. “Now, we still don’t have a lot more than that, but we do have seven.” Keeping a full staff has been one of the biggest challenges of the job as the city has struggled to retain young officers. “I wish I had kept up with how many people I’ve hired over the years,” he said. “The new chief, as he comes in, will be challenged with the same thing.” Through the years, crime has evolved and drugs have become more prevalent. “I can remember back when I first started, if you arrested somebody for marijuana, that was a big deal,” said Lancaster. “Nowadays, we’re seeing a lot more things than marijuana. One of the biggest problems right now is prescription drug abuse. DUI in the early years, it was all alcohol, and now there’s probably as many DUIs from pre-

scription drugs as there are from alcohol.” Another challenge he sees for his successor is increasing the department’s presence downtown. “I wish we were still downtown,” he said. “I think our response time probably was a little better from downtown. We’ve talked about it extensively in the last six months to a year — how to get law enforcement more visible in the downtown area.” But continuing at City Hall had become problematic. “We had outgrown the other space so badly,” said Lancaster. “We had people working out of closets. The jail was really old. It had 1940 series locks in it that we were having trouble getting repaired. It had got to where it was really hard just to keep the jail going.” He is proud to have had a hand in launching the Northeast Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center, which has brought many officers to the city for training. And the last few years have brought $123,000 in grants for equipment to the department. At 53, he’s not ready to fully retire just yet — Lancaster plans to work with Alarm Pro installing alarm and camera security systems. But he does welcome the opportunity to occasionally set aside the cell phone. “I’ve been on call pretty much 24 hours a day since about 1995,” he said. “It will be nice not to get woken up in the middle of the night.” But he’s thinking about getting a scanner to keep an ear on things from time to time.

Technology is one of many changes since his early days with the force. “Back then, we were using the old tube-type radios, and our communications were poor,” he said. “We had two walkietalkies in the department, so your chances of getting a handheld radio were almost none, and if you had one, you were lucky if you could talk to anybody on it.” Now, officers can communicate across the state on the Mississippi Wireless Integrated Network, and patrol vehicles are equipped with computers.

Congregation keeps church going BY JAN SWOOPE The Commercial Dispatch

COLUMBUS â€” It is just possible that had the Rev. Tolbert Fanningâ€™s buggy not broken down in Columbus in 1839, history would have taken a different course -- and the current close-knit congregation of First Christian Church might not be celebrating the churchâ€™s 175th anniversary. Fanning, the founder of Fanning College in Franklin, Tennessee, was said to have been an extraordinary preacher. While waiting for buggy repairs, as the story goes, he stood forth and drew a crowd. As the first minister of the denomination to visit Columbus, his doctrines were new and, to some extent, different from those heard from established pulpits around town. His powerful oratory planted the seed that led to the founding of First Christian Church and its sanctuary. Today, a green historic marker in downtown Columbus is all that is left to mark the structure that played a part in some of the cityâ€™s historymaking moments. The spirit that is First Christian Church, however, is alive and well at the â€œnewâ€? (circa 1968) church

home. Jane Smith has been a member since 1953. Somewhere along the way, the mantle of church historian settled on her shoulders. Her research of church and library records has documented an intriguing journey. â€œWe are tremendously proud of our rich history but making strides to change with the time and spread the love of God as the generations before us did,â€? Smith said. Because there were no public halls in Columbus, the early congregation met in a long, frame building erected as a store but converted into what was called â€œThe Theater.â€? It was on the south side of Main Street in the town square, across and not far from the Gilmer Hotel. The church grew rapidly, with some 30 families listed as members. Among them was Col. John Gilmer, the largest stockholder in the company that built the Gilmer. He served two terms in the state legislature and was the owner of the antebellum home Riverview. The first bishop was Green T. Hill, who operated a stagecoach line between Columbus and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

He was also a prominent bridge builder, and one of the first men from Columbus to die in the Civil War. In 1849, Eli Abbott donated land to build a church where the marker stands today. The walls of handmade brick, handhewn logs and wooden pegs would eventually witness some notable events. In 1863, during the War Between the States, the capitol city of Jackson fell to Shermanâ€™s troops. That November, the state government moved to Columbus, where the legislature was called to meet. The House of Representatives convened at the old courthouse; the Senate met at the nearby First Christian Church. Gov. Charles Clark was inaugurated as the 24th governor of Mississippi at that session. The church also served as a hospital during the war. A noted First Christian pastor in 1877 and 1878 was Knowles Shaw. He was known as the â€œsinging evangelist.â€? Among the 114 songs he wrote was â€œBringing in the Sheaves.â€? Ira Boswell was inspired by Shaw and others to preach. He went on to pastor two churches and

to establish the Cincinnati Bible Seminary in 1924. He later was founder and president of the Louisville Bible College. Fittingly, he delivered the 100th anniversary sermon. As years passed, the church was enhanced and enlarged. The 1900s saw steeples and art glass windows added. A two-story annex was constructed in 1947. The year 1958 brought another major event to this small church, with the signing of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway project. Mississippi Gov. J.P. Coleman, Alabama Gov. James Folsom and a host of officials gathered in the historically-significant sanctuary for the occasion. Columbus was made â€œCapitol for the Day,â€? and First Christianâ€™s pastor, the Rev. L.R. Still, was made Chaplain of the Senate and gave the invocation. During the decade that followed, growing pains set in as the church congregation grew larger. â€œWe knew we needed to move; we were landlocked,â€? said longtime member Charlie Box. â€œThe church was doing good, and we needed to grow.â€?

Hundreds gather for Missouri protest BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. â€” Hundreds of people protesting the death of Michael Brown and other fatal police shootings in Missouri and elsewhere stood inches from officers in riot gear late Friday before demonstrators dissipated, anticipating a long weekend of events. Organizers of the fourday Ferguson October events expected 6,000 participants, but the initial protest Friday outside the St. Louis County prosecutorâ€™s office in Clayton didnâ€™t draw nearly that amount. Later Friday, tensions increased, with hundreds of protesters gathering outside the Ferguson Police Department and chanting anti-police remarks such as, â€œKiller cops, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?â€? as a wall of about 100 officers in riot gear stood near them. Soon after, most of the crowd left, with organizers urging people to avoid arrest so that they could come back for more protests throughout the weekend. Protesters renewed their call for prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson officer, in the Aug. 9 death of 18-yearold Brown, who was black and unarmed. A grand jury is reviewing the case, and the U.S. Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into Brownâ€™s death and a broader inquiry into the Ferguson police force. â€œWe are here to demand the justice that our people have died for,â€? chanted protest organizer Montague Simmons of the local group Organization for Black Struggle. â€œWe are here to bring peace, to bring restoration, to lift our banners in the name of those whoâ€™ve been sacrificed.â€? In Clayton, officers escorted the several hundred demonstrators through the suburbâ€™s downtown as they marched past high-end restaurants, jewelry stores, banks and law offices, before the protests moved to Ferguson. After the Ferguson demonstration broke up, some protesters planned to go to the site of a police shooting in St. Louis. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Police Department an-

nounced it had encrypted its radio communications system, saying tactical information relayed to officers had been compromised during recent events, putting officer and the public at risk. Tensions remain high in the wake of another black 18-year-oldâ€™s shooting death by a white police officer Wednesday night in St. Louis. Police say Vonderrit D. Myers shot at the St. Louis officer, who was in uniform but working off-duty for a private neighborhood security patrol. Myersâ€™ parents say he was unarmed. The officerâ€™s name hasnâ€™t been released. â€œItâ€™s important for this country to stand with this community,â€? said protester Ellen Davidson of New York City, who was making her second trip to the St. Louis area since Brownâ€™s death. â€œThis community is under siege. ... The eyes of the world are watching.â€? On Saturday, the protests shift to downtown St.

Louis, hours before the Cardinals host the San Francisco Giants in the first game of the National League Championship Series. And on Monday, a series of planned â€” but unannounced â€” acts of civil disobedience are to take place throughout the St. Louis region. â€œIâ€™m not planning to get arrested,â€? said Davidson, who was meeting up with other protesters from Illinois, Minnesota, New AMISH GOODIES

York and Tennessee. â€œBut I do plan to do what I believe are in my rights as a protester. If I get arrested, thatâ€™s on the people who arrest me.â€? Brownâ€™s parents, the local chapter of the NAACP and other organizations called for peaceful protests ahead of the demonstrations. St. Louis police arrested eight people Thursday as hundreds gathered to protest Myersâ€™ death.

HAWTHORNE, Calif. â€” Luxury electric car maker Tesla Motors is making its Model S sedan faster and safer in an effort to compete better with other high-end sedans. At an open-to-thepublic unveiling Thursday night that included bumping music, free alcohol and test rides on an airport tarmac, CEO Elon Musk unveiled an all-wheel-drive version of the car that includes selfdriving features he called â€œauto pilot.â€? The announcement ended a week of speculation following a cryptic Musk tweet that said, â€œAbout time to unveil the D and something else.â€? Taking the stage with hundreds of Tesla fans in the audience, he explained that the â€œDâ€™â€™ stands for â€œdual motor.â€? The current Model S is a rear-wheel-drive car with one motor. The â€œDâ€™â€™ will have two motors â€” one powering the front wheels and one powering the rear wheels.

Musk said unlike allwheel-drive systems on gas-powered cars, which tend to be heavy and make the cars less efficient, Teslaâ€™s system improves the speed, acceleration and mileage by optimizing which motor is used. The all-wheel-drive version of the P85 performance sedan will have a top speed of 155 mph, compared with the current 130 mph. It will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, akin to exotic sports cars. â€œThis car is nuts. Itâ€™s like taking off from a carrier deck,â€? Musk said at a municipal airport near Los Angeles where another of Muskâ€™s companies â€” the commercial rocket firm SpaceX â€” is based. The crowd obliged with cheers and applause. After Musk left the stage came the rides, which demonstrated both the carâ€™s acceleration and safety features. Attendees, many dressed up and some well-lubricated with free alcohol, were not allowed behind the wheel.

LOS ANGELES â€” A large number of small online donations can turn pet projects into big lifesavers for animals. LoveAnimals.org, a year-old crowdfunding site, is believed to be the first devoted to aiding just pets and wildlife. It has tapped into the power of online contributions, where people can give what they can, whether $5 or $500, to help a more costly project come to fruition. Through Love Animals, donors can help nonprofit sanctuaries, pet rescues, animal hospitals, zoos and aquariums provide care and extra amenities for dogs, elephants, otters, horses and everything in between. Animal efforts appear on other sites using the popular crowdfunding technique, such as Indiegogo, Kickstarter and Gofundme, but they are mixed with non-animal causes and for-profit companies. In July, the ResQwalk mobile app launched through Indiegogo, allowing people to raise money for animal rescues and shelters in the U.S. and Canada every time they go walking. â€œItâ€™s easier to get many

tures â€œauto pilotâ€? but said they do not mean that the car could drive itself â€” as he put it, a driver cannot â€œsafely fall asleep.â€? While the addition of all-wheel drive catches Tesla up with other in the luxury car market, pulling together all the driverassist features impressed Brian A. Johnson, an analyst with Barclayâ€™s. â€œItâ€™s a year ahead of the timeframe I was expecting,â€? he said. Raj Rajkumar, a pioneer of self-driving cars with Carnegie Mellon University, was similarly impressed but wondered about the limitations of â€œauto-pilotâ€? â€” how would it perform in different weather and road conditions. All-wheel drive will be a $4,000 option on the base and mid-range Model S, which start at $71,000. The base price for the P85 with all-wheel drive â€” which will be known as P85D â€” is $120,000. The P85D will go on sale in December, while the other versions will go on sale in February.

The all-wheel-drive system helps grip slippery roads, and analysts have said Tesla needed it to boost sales in the Northeast and Midwest, as well as Europe. The company sold 13,850 cars in the U.S. through September, down 3 percent from a year ago, according to Autodata Corp. Tesla is also significantly upgrading its safety features. The Model S will steer itself back if it wanders from its lane and brake automatically if it is about to hit something. Those features are offered on luxury competitors, as well as mainstream brands such as Ford, Hyundai and Toyota. But Tesla is going a step further. Its new system will move the car over a lane when the driver uses the turn signal. It will also use cameras to read speed limit signs and decelerate accordingly. Volvo has a system that reads signs and alert drivers if they are over the limit, but does not change the speed. Musk called the fea-

people to give small sums of money than to get just a few people to give you large amounts of money,â€? said Sarah Timms, a Colorado attorney who founded LoveAnimals.org. The site gave a new chance at life to a kitten named Roger, who was thrown from a moving car in Colorado in early September and required a leg amputation. Longmont Humane Society in Colorado, which took in the 1-pound kitten, doubled its goal of $650 in less than 24 hours of online fundraising. Twenty people donated between $5 and $375 through Love Animals to help pay for medical bills and rehab for Roger. Timms founded the free site after reading a study from Massolution, a crowdfunding research company, which said crowdfunding raises billions of dollars globally every year. â€œWe will make sure animals get a piece of that pie,â€? Timms said. Love Animals, which will only post animal campaigns that come through a nonprofit organization, recently got a boost from Ellen DeGeneresâ€™ natural pet food company. Halo, Purely for Pets became the siteâ€™s first founding corporate sponsor, a fiveyear commitment that came with cash infusion. Carole Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue, which she founded in Tampa, Florida, 22 years ago, used Love Animals to raise money for a fence extension that would foil a female tigerâ€™s escape attempts and allow her to join her siblings in the sanctuaryâ€™s new outdoor enclosure. The rescue is home to more than 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other abandoned, abused or orphaned wild cats, including Amanda and brothers Andre and Arthur. Big Cat Rescue built a 2.5-acre open-air enclosure last year with money raised the old-fashioned way. It is surrounded by a 15-foot fence topped with a 5-foot overhang so the 150-pound cats can safely roam, run and play in an area with a swimming hole and unobstructed views of the sky.
