Candidates debate school issues BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — Five candidates for the Alcorn School District Board of Education staked out positions on hot issues, such as student transfers and school

consolidation in a forum Saturday evening. Candidates fielded questions prepared by the Alcorn County Advisory Council at Kossuth Elementary School. Three individuals did not participate —

April Burns, district 1; Brandon Jones, district 2; and Keith Stevens, district 3. On the topic of student transfers out of the district and related policies, district 1 candidate Ricky Fields said he believes

‘Deck the Town’

parents should have the right to send children to the school they prefer. “I know it costs the district money,” said Fields, “every time a child leaves Alcorn School District and moves to the city

or another district … If there is a common thread that is causing parents to move their children, we need to be fixing that thread. I was at Alcorn Central Please see FORUM | 6A

The Mississippi Department of Education will evaluate the Corinth School District based on Cambridge data rather than the standardized tests used to assign an accountability rating to other districts. When new school accountability ratings are released for districts across the state this week, Corinth will not be among them. As part of its District of Innovation application, the district sought to be evaluated on data from the Cambridge model rather than the Mississippi Assessment Program and the Subject Area Testing Program. Superintendent Lee Childress said he recently met with MDE representatives to discuss the evaluation model and a timeline. “We have worked out what we think is an acceptable plan,” said Childress, but it has not been finalized. The district is preparing the “massive amount of data” that MDE will need to arrive at a rating. The state will release ratings for 2015-2016 to the districts on Tuesday and to the public on Thursday. The

Dr. Lee Childress Corinth School District superintendent Corinth School District will likely be assigned a rating in November. In the results coming next week, schools will be rated from A to F with a revised point scale reflecting a new statewide assessment given in the last school year and a couple of new elements in the accountability system. In other Corinth schools happenings, the district has seen about 600 students participate in the fall intersession, with about 400 of those at the elementary level engaged in foundational studies and enrichment activities. The instruction during the new extended breaks is designed to help students who are falling behind to catch up during the school year rather Please see SCHOOL | 5A

Flynn Donoho is taking up the fight on his bike. The 57-year-old is bicycling across the country to raise money for the American Cancer Society. “I always wanted to see the United States and why not do it for a cause?” said Donoho while making a stop in McNairy County on Thursday. The cyclist started his “Cycling for Cancer” on Jan. 6 of 2011 in his mother’s hometown of Huntington Beach,

“One of the hardest things we deal with is the public’s perception of law enforcement,” said Matt Wood, a 10-year veteran police officer. “It’s hard sometimes to get people to understand that we are here to help – it’s our job and I promise it’s what everyone with the Corinth Police Department is here to do.” The lieutenant said he’s always wanted to serve the public. “I grew up around it – had several family members in law enforcement and always knew it was what I was meant to do,” he said. The best part of the job he said is “when someone says thank you ... it makes it all worth it.” The 34-year-old is married to Franci and he has two stepchildren, Emily, 11, and Mathew, 13.

His latest trek began a week before Christmas in 2015. “I’ve had family and friends die from cancer,” he said. “My grandmother died before I was born … my goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for cancer.” Donoho is also accompanied by a “faithful companion” as he makes his way across the country. Diva, a red heeler-chow mix, rides in a bike trailer pulled by Donoho. The small trailer has a pink bra attached on the back with the phrase “save us” written on it. “I thought the bra would be a good idea since this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Donoho as he rested in Selmer, Tenn. The cyclist is dedicating his latest trip to his sister-in-law. Melinda Donoho is a six-year breast cancer survivor. Life hasn’t always been kind to

Donoho. “I have been homeless for years,” said Donoho. “Biking across the nation is easier and I get to share the Lord.” Most nights he sleeps in a tent. “I had someone oﬀer to put me up in a hotel the other night,” he said of his stop in Henderson. The oﬀer fell through when the hotel didn’t allow pets. That was fine with Donoho. “I am doing this for people with cancer,” he said. “I don’t get a dime from what people donate.” Those who would like to make a donation under Donoho’s name, an go online to teamacs.acsevents.org and click on the Donate button in the upper left corner.

Today in History

Local/Region

Daily Corinthian • 3A

Across the Region Booneville Woman charged in commercial burglary

Today is Sunday, Oct. 16, the 290th day of 2016. There are 76 days left in the year.

BOONEVILLE — Booneville Police arrested Tracy Michelle Adams, 43, of 404 CR 7000, Booneville, on a charge of one count burglary of a commercial building. She is accused of breaking into a storage facility on East Church Street. Her bond was set at $5,000. This is the second arrest in this case. “Damage was done to the storage facility but nothing was taken because the owner arrived,” said Police Chief Michael Ramey.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 16, 1916, Planned Parenthood had its beginnings as Margaret Sanger and her sister, Ethel Byrne, opened the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. (The clinic was raided nine days later by police who arrested Sanger, Byrne and Russian-born interpreter Fania Mindell.)

On this date: In 1793, during the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette, the queen of France, was beheaded. In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led a group of 21 men in a raid on Harpers Ferry in western Virginia. (Ten of Brown’s men were killed and five escaped. Brown and six followers were captured; all were executed.) In 1946, ten Nazi war criminals condemned during the Nuremberg trials were hanged. In 1968, American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos sparked controversy at the Mexico City Olympics by giving “black power” salutes during a victory ceremony after they’d won gold and bronze medals in the 200-meter race. In 1991, a deadly shooting rampage took place in Killeen, Texas, as a gunman opened fire at a Luby’s Cafeteria, killing 23 people before taking his own life. In 1995, a vast throng of black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the “Million Man March” led by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Tupelo Foundation donates books on Chickasaw

Selmer Ministry marks 10 years of service SELMER, Tenn. — The 10th anniversary of Jesus Cares was recently held in Selmer to celebrate the decade of success for the ministry. Jesus Cares is funded through the cooperative efforts of many churches in the county. Jesus Cares helps people with their utility bill, emergency housing, fuel assistance, emergency clothing, budget counseling, and addiction in Christian-based treatment centers. There around 60 churches that help fund Jesus Cares and the Jesus Cares Thrift Stores, one in Adamsville and the other is in Selmer. The ministry does not get any grants or federal funding. United Way does help by giving to fund the ministry of Jesus Cares. Selmer’s Jesus Cares Thrift Store has moved from downtown to 535 Mulberry Ave. behind Henry Furniture. The new

The Chickasaw Inkana Foundation has donated 600 copies of the book “C is for Chickasaw” to the Tupelo Public School District fourth grade classes on Thursday as part of a larger partnership to spread knowledge of Chickasaw culture, partially funded by the Mississippi Arts Commission. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports, on top of donating books, Inkana held a workshop for fourthgrade teachers on how to incorporate Chickasaw history into their lessons. Martha Cheney, secretary of the Chickasaw Inkana Foundation, previously taught fourth grade and knows how other cultures can interest children. “We want them to understand the flow of history and to know that right here we had the Battle of Ackia,” she told the Daily Journal. “It really changed the history of the United States.” Prewitt said the Chickasaw Nation is “alive and well today,” and has a love for Tupelo. The investments in Tupelo are going to grow

exponentially, he said. The Chickasaw Celebration – to be held at Fairpark at Oct. 28 – and the planning of the Chickasaw Heritage Center are two major investments. The Celebration will gather 1,200 fourth grades from Tupelo, Pontotoc, Mooreville and Saltillo to participate in organized events including social stick ball, stomp dancing, cooking and making culturallybased art to take home. The Chickasaw Heritage Center, Prewitt said, is making significant progress. He plans on making an announcement on the future of the Chickasaw Heritage Center, which will be built on a historic Chickasaw site in Tupelo, during the Celebration next Friday. “That’s been a longstanding discussion,” he said. “It’s in planning design. We’re working on architecture, engineering and exhibition design. Everything is in motion.”

Clay Co. Man killed in crash during deputy chase CLAY COUNTY — A Clay County man died in a deputy-involved chase Thursday night in Clay County. According to WTVA, it happened on the eastern end of ChickasawClay County Line Road. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott confirmed that the pursuit involved one of his deputies. During the pursuit, the 47-year-old man struck a tree and was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:44 p.m. The name of the victim is not being released until all family members have been notified.

Woman sentenced in embezzling case ABERDEEN — A former church employee was sentenced for embezzling money from an Amory church. WTVA reported Julia Field pleaded guilty in Monroe County Circuit Court recently on the charge of embezzlement. Between 2009 and 2015, exactly $132,970.72 was taken from Meadowood Baptist Church. Judge Thomas Gardner sentenced her to three years of unsupervised probation and was ordered to pay restitution to the church.

Houston Retirement changes discussed in audit HOUSTON — Aldermen were told federal accounting rules are urging local government to shoulder more of their retirement burden and were informed of one bookkeeping concern by their auditor last week. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports a $2 million unfunded liability adjustment to Houston’s books dramatically changed the city’s financial condition and while the city has not gotten a bill from the state, they are required to hold those funds in case they are required for PERS (Public Employees’ Retirement System) of Mississippi. “It’s a big change and that’s a huge hit,” said Mike Knox, CPA with Watkins Ward and Stafford. “You have a positive position and I will point out some cities around the state ended

www.fortunefinancial.info

up with a negative position.” Knox said while the state may not ever call for the funds, they are required to be reflected on Houston’s books. New reporting requirements – known as GASB 68 – for state and local governments offering benefit pension plans significantly increase the extent to which government employers and pension plans fund their plan and could have local government paying that amount. “They have basically made you responsible for a portion of those funds,” said Knox. “I would like to point out if they say you owe it on the books, someday they may make you pay it.” Knox said Houston has never recorded a pension liability but will now measure and report a liability based on the excess of the present value of pension benefits over the dollars available to pay those benefits. The changes affect both governments that sponsor their own pension plans and those agencies that participate in such plans such as PERS. Knox said this change in fund balances on the books gave $211,386 in total government funds. He said with the addition of Houston’s water and sewer liability gave the city a $53,000 negative position. Knox added that pulling out the city’s pension expense of $75,915 would have seen a $22,000 increase this year. Houston Ward 2 Alderman Shenia Jones said she was told at a recent Mississippi Municipal League meeting, changes could be made to PERS that would do away with this debt.

Our View

Supervisors do right thing; historical gem reopens One of Northeast Mississippi’s best historical gems can now be visited by the public. The Old Courthouse Museum in Iuka has reopened. The Tishomingo County Board of Supervisors recently voted to fund the nonprofit museum operated by the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society. Closed since June 1 due to lack of funding, the museum is now open two days a week. The museum will receive $25,000 in annual funding from the county, allowing the tourist attraction to reopen to the public. The funds will also cover salaries for a part-time executive director and a part-time librarian. Although publicly closed for the last four months, the museum has hosted visitors by appointment only. Housed inside the 1870 old Tishomingo County Courthouse, the museum displays artifacts highlighting Native American (Chickasaw) Indians, Civil War and county-wide cultural heritage. The museum also holds the John Marshall Stone Research Library. The museum enjoyed more than 3,200 visitors in 2015. Supervisors also approved the funding of $1,800 per year to the county historical society. The funds will be used to pay membership in FoundationSearch, an online database that provides leads from more than 114,000 foundations looking to grant money to nonprofit organizations. We applaud the Tishomingo County Board of Supervisors for funding the Old Courthouse Museum. Maybe someday this will grow into an effort for the historical gem to remain open seven days a week.

The Bickersons return for debate Not since George and Martha in the play “Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” or for older readers Don Ameche and Frances Langford in the radio comedy “The Bickersons,” have we seen the kind of verbal pugilism practiced in Sunday night’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. If the business of Trump’s lewd language about women caught on tape 11 years ago and Bill Clinton’s sexual history with Hillary enabling him in the trashing of his conquests could be set aside, only the issues would remain, and wouldn’t that be good? Sunday night, Clinton recycled the familiar Democrat playbook that the wealthy aren’t paying their “fair share” in taxes, when the real issue is that government already receives record amounts in tax money, but misspends much of it and never seems to have enough. Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has closely followed Clinton’s shifting tax positions. In the debate, Clinton said she “only” wants to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, not the middle class. ATR notes she has said just the opposite on many occasions. It calculates that

if all of her tax proposals are enacted, it would cost taxpayers $1 trillion over 10 years and Cal gives the folThomas lowing examples: Columnist She has said she would not veto a payroll tax hike on all Americans should such a bill reach her desk and would set aside her pledge not to boost taxes on middle-income earners. She wants a tax on sodas that ATR estimates would add $2.16 per 12pack. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) charged this would violate her pledge to protect the middle class from tax hikes: “Frankly, I am very surprised that Secretary Clinton would support this regressive tax after pledging not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. This proposal violates her pledge.” Other tax increases include a national gun tax of 25 percent, a 65 percent “death tax,” which ATR notes she wouldn’t have to pay because of the way she has arranged her finances. She wants to raise the current capital gains tax from 23.8 percent to 43.4 percent, which would

harm investments and stifle capital creation. She would not lower the corporate tax rate, which Trump has pledged to do, even though the U.S. has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, which has driven many businesses overseas. And, like President Obama, she is an enemy of the coal industry, despite her claims to be friendly toward it in Sunday’s debate. Her campaign chief, John Podesta, has left the door open to a carbon tax, saying if Congress passes such a measure “we’ll take a look at it.” Trump purports to favor school choice, which is an essential tool for escaping poverty and would do more than any federal anti-poverty program to help poor children obtain a good education. Hillary Clinton claims to favor school choice, but only as far as publicly funded charter schools. Since she and many Democrats receive political contributions from teachers unions, it’s unlikely she’ll let poor children escape failing schools. In the latest debate she tried to claim credit for all she has done for children, but what she has not done by refusing to support school vouchers, which allow parents to use public funds to pay for some or all of their child’s private

school tuition, overcomes whatever good she may have accomplished. Rumors are swirling about opposition researchers oﬀering to pay employees of Trump’s NBC program “The Apprentice” for recordings of other lewd things he might have said to further distract from the issues. The hypocrisy meter is in hyper drive when you consider that some of the same Democrats condemning Trump said of Bill Clinton’s numerous aﬀairs “it’s just about sex” and had nothing to do with his performance as president. These are people who still hold John F. Kennedy in high regard, despite his long list of women with whom he had sex, including secreting some into the White House. This won’t be the end of the revelations about Trump, anything to divert attention from Hillary’s real positions on the real issues that matter most to Americans. If we must have bickering, how about bickering over something important? Cal Thomas is the host of “After Hours with Cal Thomas” on the FOX News Channel.

“It is so nice that the shackles have been taken oﬀ me and I can now fight for America the way I want to,” Donald Trump tweeted at the reasonable hour of 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Shackles? There were no visible shackles on Trump when he launched his severalnews-cycles-long assaults on Judge Gonzalo Curiel in May, Khizr Khan and his family in July and Alicia Machado in September. No reasonable person thinks House Speaker Paul Ryan or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell advised him to make these headline-grabbing attacks. A quick glance at the polls shows that each of these attacks was followed by a downdraft in support for Trump. Recent polling suggests he has been in decline since the first debate, which was Sept. 26, and quite possibly in free fall after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape Oct. 7. None of this had to be. Trump’s success was the result of multiple factors. He shrewdly, if clumsily, perceived that many, maybe most, Republican voters were at odds with party leaders’ stands on trade and immigration. He understood the vulnerabilities of the inevitable Democratic nominee, Hill-

ary Clinton. (Some neverTrumpers lament that he didn’t run in the Democratic primaMichael ry.) A DemoBarone crat whom two-thirds of Columnist voters consider dishonest and untrustworthy and who, unlike other Democrats, doesn’t score well on “cares about people like me” is, by historical standards, a suboptimal candidate. Barack Obama won 51 percent of the vote in 2012. Clinton hasn’t reached that level in polling against Trump since August 2015. Before his attacks on the admirable judge, the gold star parents and the dodgy Miss Universe, polling had Trump just about even with Clinton. He had multiple plausible paths to the 270 votes needed for victory in the Electoral College. Now it’s not clear that he has any. Perhaps that’s what has got him feeling the shackles are off and launching attacks on other Republicans. He tweeted Tuesday that Paul Ryan is “our very weak and ineffective leader,” that John McCain is “very foul mouthed” and that “disloyal R’s are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary.” That was a day after Ryan’s

conference call advising Republicans to handle Trump any way they want, including with disavowal. “Civil war in the Republican Party!” proclaimed the headlines. Asked whether there is any precedent for this, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight answered, “Not in my lifetime.” That’s probably right. Silver was born in 1978 and presumably started seriously following politics in the 1990s. That’s when Bill Clinton busted the Republican lock on the presidency, Newt Gingrich busted the Democratic lock on Congress and support for presidential and congressional candidates in the respective parties started converging -- to the point that in 2012, only 26 congressional districts voted for the presidential nominee of one party and the congressional nominee of the other, the lowest number since 1920. After the cascade following the “Access Hollywood” tape, some 87 Republican members of Congress and governors have renounced Trump, out of mixtures in varying proportions of conscience and calculation. But the process got started long before the tape or the conference call. Members with a district comprising many Hispanics (Mike Coﬀman), many

Washington insiders (Barbara Comstock) or many affluent college graduates (Bob Dold) have been refusing to support Trump for months -just as Northeastern Republicans shunned Barry Goldwater in 1964 and Southern Democrats shunned George McGovern in 1972. Unlike the case with the past four elections, there are perceptible differences between the Republican presidential nominee and most party officeholders. Republicans who want to differentiate themselves from Trump have plenty of material, on issues and on character. A politician’s strength is his weakness. Donald Trump’s impulsiveness, an asset in primaries, is now a liability. His criticisms of other Republicans are unconvincing as an alibi for his likely defeat, and they divert attention from Hillary Clinton’s weaknesses, which could conceivably produce another result. He’d be wise to put the shackles on and keep them on.

Man indicted, arrested for theft over $500,000 BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A Pinson man has been arrested after being charged in an indictment by the McNairy County Grand Jury and is now in the McNairy County Jail. Barry Bynum, 58, has been charged with two counts of theft over $250,000 and two counts of identity theft. He was arrested Thursday by the Tennessee Highway Patrol Criminal Investigation Division. His formal hearing will take

place Monday in Selmer before Circuit Court Judge Weber McGraw. The Tennessee Highway Patrol did not list the two items Bynum is alleged to have stolen or the people who had their identities stolen. The stolen items had an estimated value of $500,000. The Securities and Insurance Divisions of the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) announced the licensure revocation and $3,000 civil penalty in Septem-

ber 2016 against Bynum, a former insurance salesman who has admitted to fraudulently selling unlicensed investment securities. Bynum created two fraudulent, unregistered investment contracts through an unlicensed broker-dealer company called Estate Security and sold the contracts to an Alabama resident as “Certificates of Investment.” Bynum broke state law by selling these investments without disclosing to the investor that the contracts were not registered

Dietitian decodes all those food packaging promises BY BECKY SHARPE Registered Dietitian

As dietitians, people often tell us about all of the healthy products they have been buying. While we absolutely applaud investment in health, it can be diﬃcult to determine which products are actually healthy and which ones are hype. I’d like to take this opportunity to guide you through some of the selling points that you may see on products, and what they actually mean. First, the Food and Drug Administration is responsible for regulating the health claims that companies are legally allowed to place on products. For instance, terms like “low sodium,” “low fat,” “heart healthy” and “excellent source of” have very specific meanings. A product labeled as low sodium must have less than 140 mg of sodium per serving. A product touted as “low fat” must have no more than 30 percent of its calories from fat. For more information on specific nutrient claims, please check out www.fda.gov. Although, there are specific legal parameters limiting the use of certain words, that does not mean that all packaging promises are to be believed and are regulated by our government. Food companies capitalize on the public’s desire to make better food choices. Descriptions like “all natural,” “healthy,” “wholesome,” “hearty” have no

specific meanings and are used purely as a marketing tool. Although this is not a comprehensive list, I have included some of the common food packaging promises that you should be mindful of.

Fat free This is a real claim when applied to items where fat has been taken out. However, please notice that it is sometimes also applied to items where no fat would have ever been, such as gummy worms, twizzlers, fruit roll ups. These foods are 100 percent sugar. Not healthy!

Multi-grain This should not be confused with whole grain! We absolutely encourage you to eat whole grains. They are a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein. However, multi-grain does not mean whole grain. It just means more than one grain. A “multi-grain” product could have refined wheat flour mixed with refined white flour. The only way to determine if something is whole grain is if the first item in the ingredient list is a whole grain.

Has antioxidants Yes, antioxidants exist in foods, but eating any one food in abundance is not going to prevent or fight cancer. I am sorry to tell you that eating dark chocolate covered acai

berries is not going to be your get out of cancer free ticket. However, maintaining a healthy weight by an overall healthful diet, high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, low in red and processed meats is a proven way to reduce cancer risk.

Organic Yes, in order for a product to be certified organic, it does have to qualify by certain standards. This means it abides by certain rules pertaining to pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or Genetically Modified Organisms. However, just because a product meets these standards still does not make it healthy. Please do not feed your child “organic” cookies and cakes rather than fresh “unorganic” fruits and vegetables. That is not a healthy substitution. I don’t mean to discourage you, friends. Please keep seeking out those healthy foods. I promise they are out there. There’s no one way to eat a healthy diet, but if you stick to some basic guidelines like, choosing more vegetables and fruits, making more of your grains whole, and limiting red and processed meats, you’re well on your way to a healthful diet.

with TDCI’s Securities Division nor did he disclose that Estate Security was not an active registered broker-dealer nor an investment adviser. The scheme was only uncovered when the investor’s health began to fail in 2014 and a family member sought a refund of the invested monies, only to learn there was no money to be found. “Tennesseans should always remember that it is illegal to sell securities or act as an investment adviser without a license,” said TDCI Assistant Commis-

sioner for Securities Frank Borger-Gilligan. “Consumers can help protect themselves by remaining alert and never taking any investment oﬀer solely at face value.” A final Consent Order eﬀective May 31 permanently bars Bynum from participation in the securities industry in Tennessee; imposes a $3,000 civil penalty; orders him to cease and desist all activities that are violations of the law; and revokes his insurance salesperson’s license.

Bank pays $33 million for out-of-state banks Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — A Mississippi bank is acquiring banks in Louisiana and Florida for $33 million, expanding its regional footprint. The First Bancshares of Hattiesburg said Friday that it would acquire Iberville Bank of Plaquemines, Louisiana, and Gulf Coast Community Bank of Pensacola, Florida. The moves will give the parent company of The First bank 48 oﬃces and $1.6 billion in assets in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. They are the fourth and fifth acquisitions for the bank in recent years. “The combination of these institutions is a continuation of our strategic plan of creating a regional community bank in the Gulf South,” CEO M. Ray “Hoppy” Cole said in a statement.

Trump challenges legitimacy of election Associated Press

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — A beleaguered Donald Trump sought to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. presidential election on Saturday, pressing unsubstantiated claims the contest is rigged against him, vowing anew to jail Hillary Clinton if he’s elected and throwing in a baseless insinuation his rival was on drugs in the last debate. Not even the country’s more than two centuries of peaceful transitions of political leadership were

He has denied the claims, calling the women liars. Earlier Saturday, Trump took to Twitter to warn that “100% fabricated and made-up charges, pushed strongly by the media and the Clinton Campaign, may poison the minds of the American Voter. FIX!” “Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail,” he

added. “Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election.” In a country with a history of peaceful political transition, his challenge to the election’s legitimacy — as a way to explain a loss in November, should that happen — was a striking rupture of faith in American democracy. Trump has repeatedly claimed without oﬀering evidence that election fraud is a serious problem and encouraged his largely white supporters to “go and watch” polling places in certain areas to make sure things are “on the up and up.” Peter Kostruba, a Trump supporter who traveled to his Portsmouth rally from Barnet, Vermont, with his 10-year-old son, said he’s not expecting riots to break out if Clinton wins, but he sees sharper divi-

sions in the country. “It definitely feels like the odds are stacked, whether it’s the legal system or the voter system,” Kostruba said. “I don’t think you’re going to see all of this group here arm themselves and mobilize, but, you know, we’re probably not too many years away from that if things keep going the way we’re going.” On a similar theme, a prominent Trump supporter who spoke at the GOP convention last summer, Sheriﬀ David Clarke Jr. of Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County, tweeted Saturday: “It’s incredible that our institutions of gov, WH, Congress, DOJ, and big media are corrupt & all we do is bitch. Pitchforks and torches time.” Clarke, an elected Democrat, illustrated his tweet with a photo showing angry people with clubs and torches.

we let them go,” said Walker, who, in a school board meeting earlier in the week, pointed to the district’s steady enrollment numbers compared to last year. He believes the transfers among the districts even out. District 2 candidate Ann Little said it’s a problem if a large number of students are leaving. “When they start to leave, we need to ask them,” she said. “We need to see if there is a common theme.” She would also like to see a stronger public relations eﬀort from the district, citing recent test scores as an example. Daniel Cooper, who is seeking the district 3 seat, said his experience in law enforcement has influenced his view of the issue. “Something we think is minor at school could turn into them wanting to commit suicide,” he said. “Life-changing events … there may be an underlying cause there that we have got to get to the bottom of.” But he is also concerned

about funding leaving the district when students transfer. “Everybody wants their kids to go to the right school,” said Cooper. “I know this may not be popular with some, but when you move into an area, you know that’s where you’re going to go to school at. Am I saying that every person should not be able to move? No, I’m not. There’s a caseby-case basis I think we as a school board have got to go by. If a kid is sitting there getting bullied every day, I’m not going to sit there and make him stay.” District 2 candidate Pherbia Mynatt said filling out a form and submitting it to the board should not be enough to secure a transfer out of the district. “I’ve said it through the discussions of transfer policy — it’s too easy,” she said. “If a parent chooses to move out of this district, make it hard.”

in the ’70s when everybody wanted to be at Alcorn Central — when there was pride in the schools. Right now, there’s not a lot of pride in the county schools.” He said academics is the top reason he hears for transfers out of the district. Lamar Walker, who currently holds the district 3 seat, simply said, “Let them go.” “We accept kids from other places, so why can’t

Storm gathering intensity off coast SEATTLE — A powerful storm developing from the remnants of a Pacific typhoon was gathering intensity off the Northwest coast Saturday, and the National Weather Service warned about the potential for widespread damage. The storm contained the remnants of Typhoon Songda, which wreaked havoc in the western Pacific days ago, and was expected to hit land Saturday afternoon and evening. Gusts along the central Oregon coast were already reaching 55 to 63 mph by late morning, when localized power outages were reported in at least two beach towns, and they were expected to hit upward of 80 mph Saturday afternoon, said agency meteorologist Tyree Wilde. “Things are just starting to get going,” Wilde said. “This thing has the potential to be a pretty damaging windstorm.” Inland, the winds are forecast to be weaker at 50 to 60 mph, but still strong enough to knock down trees and cut power to thousands.

Distillery workers strike in Kentucky CLERMONT, Ky. — Bill Ball has handled multiple whiskey-making tasks in his 47 years at Jim Beam, but on Saturday he took on an unexpected role — joining colleagues on a picket line outside a Beam distillery in Kentucky. More than 200 union workers walked off their jobs at Beam distilleries at Clermont and Boston in Kentucky after voting Friday to reject the latest contract offer

from the world’s leading bourbon producer. As the old contract expired, Beam said its contingency plans would keep operations running to maintain the flow of whiskey to distributors and consumers. As passing motorists honked in support Saturday, striking workers outside the Clermont distillery vented their frustrations. They said staffing shortages often extend work weeks to 60 to 80 hours to keep up with growing demand for Beam whiskey. The company has turned increasingly to temporary workers, they said, and disregards seniority when assigning veteran employees to new roles or shifts. “We hope this is settled shortly,” Ball said. “If it’s not, we’re here for the long haul.”

Matthew’s death toll increases by 2 RALEIGH, N.C. — Searchers found two more bodies inside vehicles that were submerged in flood waters in North Carolina from Hurricane Matthew, increasing the toll in the state to 26 dead, Gov. Pat McCrory said Saturday. McCrory talked a lot about recovery at his Saturday news conference — one week after the hurricane dumped more than a foot of rain 100 miles inland causing massive flooding in the eastern part of the state. Towns such as Princeville, Lumberton and Fair Bluff remain under water, and not all rivers have crested. Early next week, the governor plans to release a detailed plan on how North Carolina will rebuild, including how to pay for the effort. But he said serious prob-

lems remain. “There are still many, may difficult days ahead for North Carolina,” McCrory said. The latest victims from the flooding were found in Cumberland County and Wayne County after flood waters receded from last weekend’s rains. Almost all the deaths in North Carolina have been from people driving or walking into flood waters and being swept away.

Bryant, GOP leaders sticking with Trump JACKSON — Several top Republicans in Mississippi are standing by presidential nominee Donald Trump as he denies accusations that he groped and kissed some women against their will. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker both say they want a Republican president to make the next nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court. U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo says that electing Trump and keeping a Republican-controlled House will block “the worst parts of the liberal agenda.” The state’s lone Democrat in Washington, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, is calling on his party to unite behind Hillary Clinton. The Greenwood Commonwealth reported that at a Leflore County Democratic Party dinner Thursday, Thompson urged fellow Democrats to get over whatever reservations or disagreements they might have with Clinton and get out the vote. “There’s still some feeling out there, some problem among some people with putting women in charge,” Thompson said. “Whether you vote for Hillary or against Donald, Democrats will win.” Thompson derided Trump as someone who doesn’t care about the real issues that matter to ordinary people, such as education and health care.

Investors anxious over marijuana vote Last year, Golden Leaf Holdings, a leading cannabis company, paid $3.3 million for almost 100 acres of land in Oregon to build a marijuana growing, processing and research site. The future looked bright: Oregon voters had legalized recreational marijuana in 2014. But Measure 91 gave counties and towns the opportunity to opt out and ban pot businesses. Days after Golden Leaf signed the papers on the property in Marion County near the town of Aurora, the county banned marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas. So did about 100 other towns and counties. “That shut us out completely out of the recreational market, which was our original strategy,” said Beau Whitney, a Golden Leaf vice president. Now, Golden Leaf has another chance. Marion County is one of about 50 Oregon towns and counties that will decide in the Nov. 8 election whether to opt back into the marijuana business, according to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which regulates and licenses the industry.

letter that criticized Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher. The Greenwood Commonwealth reported that it published a letter Sept. 27 from Tim Turner, 52, who’s serving a 20-year sentence for a 2012 drug conviction in Itawamba County. Turner’s letter said Fisher excessively uses lockdowns and revokes inmates’ privileges to try to curb violence and contraband. “Fights and stabbings are very rare here, and contraband is smuggled in by his officers. But Fisher uses every trick possible to hurt us,” Turner wrote in the letter to the editor. The newspaper obtained a memo showing Turner was transferred inside the prison Sept. 30. The memo, signed by Parchman Superintendent Earnest Lee, cited Turner for writing the letter and said he violated a rule banning “unauthorized communication with any member of the public, staff or between inmates.” The memo said Turner waived his right to a hearing about the letter. However, an inmates’ rights attorney, Ron Welch of Jackson, said the transfer sounds like a violation of the inmate’s free-speech rights and a throwback to a time that put Mississippi’s corrections system under federal court supervision.

Gibbs takes oath as state legislator Debra Hendricks Gibbs took the oath of office Friday to represent District 72 in the Mississippi House of Representatives. Gibbs was elected Sept. 14 in a special election runoff. She will finish the term of Kimberly Campbell, who New Crop Sweet Potatoes (Baking Size) $12. Bushel

stepped down in May to become state director of the AARP. The Kirsey Middle School choir began the swearing-in ceremony with patriotic tunes. Gibbs says she believes it’s important to share the occasion with young people of her district to inspire them to work hard and achieve great things. Gibbs, an attorney, previously served on the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission. She also served as an educator and founding director of the Center for Professional Development in the School of Business at Jackson State University.

State sets deadline for auto firm’s loan JACKSON — Mississippi officials are giving an electric car maker another month to obtain financing in China after the company missed a June payment on its $3 million state loan. An Aug. 9 letter obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request shows the Mississippi Development Authority has given GreenTech until Nov. 7 to make the $150,000 payment originally due June 30. GreenTech Chief Financial Officer Peter Huddleston told Mississippi in an earlier letter that the company says it’s raising money through a merger of its assets in China with another business, but that final approval from Chinese securities regulators has been delayed. “Upon finalization of the recapitalization transaction, we expect to be able to move forward with GTA’s business in Tunica County and commence to meet our obligations,” Huddleston wrote.
