Search continues for Alliance leader BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

With an initial list of candidates in hand, The Alliance is moving forward with the search for its next economic development leader.

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors received a request on Monday for an additional $20,000 funding for The Alliance to help cover an increased salary for The Alliance chief, as well as to cover travel to

promote Corinth and Alcorn County and to produce promotional materials. Supervisors tabled the request in order to take a look at how it will aﬀect the budget, which is in the first month of the new fiscal year.

The Alliance is in the budget at 1.51 mills or $279,821. The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen recently agreed to increase the city’s Alliance funding by up to $60,000 in addition to the usual $80,000.

Church moves ahead after damaging fire

This story by Steve Beavers first appeared in the Independent-Appeal and is reprinted here with permission. SELMER, Tenn. — First Baptist Church in Selmer has a story to tell. Close to 300 people of the congregation are getting their chance to share the gospel through the 13th Annual Judgement House of the church. “Shaken” will be presented starting Sunday night at 4 p.m. Performances are also scheduled for Oct. 26 from 6-8 p.m.; Oct. 30 from 3-9 p.m.; Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m. and Nov. 2 from 6-9 p.m. There will be no admission to attend any of the live performances. “We do not have the dramatic scene like we have had in the past,” said FBC Associate Pastor/Youth Director John Chandler. “What we do have is a realistic story which connects with everyone.” “Shaken” deals with the lives of four teenagers. The quartet of – Maggie, Brittany, Eric and Olivia – all come together at a condemned building which turns into a site of tragedy. What will happen when drugs, alcohol, lies, tempers and compassion find themselves faceto-face in the unstable building? “There are so many elements

Despite the lingering eﬀects of fire damage, First United Methodist Church isn’t standing still. Two of the congregation’s annual events are coming up — Trunk or Treat on Oct. 26 and the Holiday Frozen Food Sale benefitting the Fillmore Street Chapel. With the help of the community providing places for the church to hold events, the congregation remains active. “The community was overwhelmingly responsive to the needs of our congregation,” said the Rev. Roger Shock. “Oﬀers of assistance came from many of our friends from other churches and denominations, and we are grateful for the support of the community that has enabled us to carry on with our programs.” The Trunk or Treat event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at Christ United Methodist Church on Shiloh Road, which has housed First Methodist’s Little Blessings Daycare Center since the fire with only a one-day shutdown. The trunk or treat event, now in its sixth year, has drawn 600 to 700 participants in past years. The Ladies Ministry’s frozen food sale, which is the main fund-

Museum needs local sports memorabilia

People of the Crossroads Kendall Frazier, Corinth Staff photo by Bobby J. Smith

Plaza Dry Cleaning owner Kendall Frazier uses his business to clean clothes and provide a ministry that helps people clean up their lives. “Our doors are always open to talk to people about cleaning up their lives,” he said. “We clean clothes on the side, but if we can help people, that’s what it’s all about.” Frazier and wife Amanda lead a class called “Life in Focus,” a faithbased program in cooperation with the area justice system that is designed to help people get their lives back on course. The 48-year-old Kossuth native has four children: Blake, Lindsey, Molly and Kent. Frazier credits his wife with helping him through his own darkest hours. “There’s a good chance I wouldn’t be alive if not for Amanda,” he said. “God has been good to me.”

The Smithsonian is coming to Corinth ... and local sports fans have a chance to be a part of the historical exhibit. The Crossroads Museum will host Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America – a special traveling Smithsonian exhibit kicking oﬀ Nov. 19. The exhibit will take a look at how people’s lives are influenced by the sports they play. Through videos, images, objects and personal reflections gathered from teams around the country, Hometown Teams shows that sports are more than just games. The local component of the limited six-week exhibit will

feature a smorgasbord of area high school sports. “We hope to collect items on loan from schools and pull some items out of museum archives to build an exciting local sports exhibit,” said museum director Brandy Steen. “We also hope locals are willing to loan us a few items to Please see HOMETOWN | 2

Returning favorites are chicken spaghetti, lasagna, cornbread dressing and apple pies. The food will be available at the Red Green Market on Nov. 19. The church currently holds adult Sunday school classes at City Hall and Farmers & Merchants Bank, which also houses the church oﬃces. The library oﬀered use of the auditorium for the Best Ever Extraordinary Seniors, and Christ UMC has hosted other activities such as practice for the bell choir.

Last spring’s remainder of the Lenten Luncheons relocated to Refreshments Inc., and the ladies’ knitting ministry meets at Pizza Grocery. Using an auxiliary electrical system, only the sanctuary of the main building is functional. Many regular activities take place in the neighboring chapel, where the nursery and choir room are now located. The church youth meet weekly in the homes of members. “We wish to thank all who have expressed concern and interest in our church and its future,” said Shock. “We hope to be back to full operations before too long and have our building available to our congregation and to those in the community who are accustomed to being with us for various activities.”

From stick and ball sports to the competitive worlds of cheer and band, all forms of sports will be highlighted in the exhibit.

HOUSE From stick and ball sports to the competitive worlds of cheer and band, all forms of sports will be highlighted in the exhibit. -- for example, most recently, the 2016 Kossuth Aggies state baseball champions and the 2016 Corinth Warriors state basketball champions,” said Steen. “Each banner will be hung inside the exhibit as a salute to that school.” The exhibit will launch with a pep rally and ribbon cutting on Nov. 19, the same day as the museum hosts the Red Green Market. Due to space limitations at the museum,

only the local component will be on display there while the Smithsonian’s portion of the exhibit will be housed at the Corinth Library. The exhibit, made possible by the Mississippi Humanities Council, will be on display through Dec. 30 at the museum and library.

Psalm 62:6 is the theme verse for this year’s Judgement House. “Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” FBC has made some minor changes to the drama this year. Two teams – Judgement and House – have been formed to open more roles for people to be involved. “The two-team approach will have a positive eﬀect on our student ministries and our adult roles,” said Chandler. “In past years, I feel like people have hesitated to be a part of Judgement House because they don’t feel

Representing the Economic Development Council, Reece Terry told supervisors the group conducted interviews with community members and elected oﬃcials before beginning the search process. The Alliance learned that “to get the caliber of person we need, our salary level was woefully short,” he said. The recommended salary range is $125,000 to $140,000. The group that will interview finalists will include four members of The Alliance, two members of the Board of Supervisors, two members of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and a representative of the Corinth School District. In other business before the Board of Supervisors this week, the board reappointed Ricky James and Russell Smith to seats on the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. The two seats are joint appointments with the city. A seat on the hospital board currently held by Larry James is up for consideration at the next regular meeting.

Today in History Today is Saturday, Oct. 22, the 296th day of 2016. There are 70 days left in the year.

Todayâ€™s Highlight in History: On Oct. 22, 1926, Ernest Hemingwayâ€™s first novel, â€œThe Sun Also Rises,â€? was published by Scribnerâ€™s of New York.

On this date: In 1962, in a nationally broadcast address, President John F. Kennedy revealed the presence of Soviet-built missile bases under construction in Cuba and announced a quarantine of all offensive military equipment. In 1981, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization was decertified by the federal government for its strike the previous August. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed into law sweeping taxoverhaul legislation.

Across the Region Booneville City to enforce trash ordinance BOONEVILLE â€” Booneville will officially begin enforcing its new solid waste ordinance next month after letters are sent out notifying residents of the changes. Aldermen okayed wording of a letter Tuesday that will be sent out to all residents regarding the new law and agreed that it will be enforced beginning Nov. 15 after time for residents to be notified and comply. The new ordinance, approved unanimously by aldermen in June, requires residents to place garbage for pickup only in the approved containers provided by the cityâ€™s trash pickup provider and remove the containers within a specified period of time. The new law does away with permanent trash bins or holding fences at the roadside. The ordinance states

garbage for collection must be placed in plastic garbages that are tied or closed properly and then placed in the containers provided by Waste Connections. Trash must not be placed outside or around the can for pickup, though the law states occasional use of private containers or overflow of trash from holidays or special occasions will be considered on a case by case basis. Containers must be stored close to the home or an outbuilding on the property. All holding containers at the end of the road must be removed and only the required containers used. Garbage containers may not be placed out before 6 p.m. on the evening before the normal pickup day and must be removed within 24 hours of the pickup day. Violation of the law will result in a penalty of $25 for the first violation, $50 for a second violation

and $100 for any additional violations. The person violating the law can also be ordered to pay restitution for any costs another resident incurs in having garbage that has been strewn removed from their property. The law officially went on the books on Sept. 26 after required legal publication but the city has not begun enforcing it until they had a chance to notify residents by mail to ensure all are aware of the requirements. Ward 4 Alderman David Bolen noted the roadside receptacles must be removed but the only method the city has to enforce the removal is by issuing citations under the ordinance. The city does not have the authority to go onto private property to remove them. â€œWeâ€™re as eager as the public is to keep our city beautiful and clean,â€? he said. In other business, the board:

Corinth, Miss.

King Donald crowns himself History will note that Donald Trump had a chance, albeit a slim one, to become president of the United States. But he moved the dial from slim to none Wednesday night, at the final presidential debate, when he said he might not accept the results of the Nov. 8 vote. “I will look at it at the time,” Trump said. “That’s horrifying,” Hillary Clinton replied. Roger She got that one right. Simon Some historians believe that the greatest thing George Columnist Washington ever did was to give up the presidency at the end of his second term. Many thought he would simply stay and rule as a king. He was popular enough. Donald Trump is no George Washington, however. Trump believes that if he thinks a vote has been stolen in St. Louis or a voting record altered in Altoona, he can invalidate the entire election and ... what? Maybe the highly paid consultants he has surrounded himself with can come up with some face-saving plan for him. But who would trust anything he agrees to? And who would trust him not to redecorate the place in 50 shades of gold. For about the first third of the debate, Trump was doing fine. Clinton had a clear plan -- bait Trump and make him lose his temper -- and Trump had his usual plan: to make no plans at all. “He choked,” Clinton said of Trump and his trip to Mexico. Trump just scowled. Vladimir Putin would “rather have a puppet as president,” Clinton said. “You’re the puppet,” Trump said back. “Putin has outsmarted her at every step of the way.” But he kept his temper. He even used some of his crowd-tested lines. “The one thing you have over me is experience,” he said, “but it’s bad experience.” Then there was the matter of him and those women. “I didn’t even apologize to my wife ... because I didn’t do anything,” Trump said about his sexual escapades. Yes, he apologized for the bad language he had used and his “boy talk” -- boy talk from a 59-year-old boy. But Clinton was on a roll. She slammed him for belittling women for their looks, for mocking a disabled reporter and for attacking a federal judge for having Mexican parents. And then Clinton showed why she spends so much time prepping. She tied everything into a neat bundle to show the “pattern” of Trump’s attacks. “So it’s not one thing,” she said. “This is a pattern, a pattern of divisiveness of a very dark and, in many ways, dangerous vision of our country where he incites violence.” That is not what America is, she said, and with Election Day less than three weeks away, “it really does come down to what kind of country we are going to have.” Then Trump sealed his own doom. The country we are going to have is apparently one where Trump will refuse to recognize the power of the people to choose their own president. Didn’t the Supreme Court do something like that in 2000? Yes, sort of. But the Supreme Court is the Supreme Court. And Donald Trump is “the most dangerous person to run for president in the modern history of America,” Clinton said. Clinton also found another pattern. Whenever Trump thinks things are going against him, he says the system is rigged. In the past, he has blamed the FBI, a federal judge, the Wisconsin primary, and on and on. “There was even a time when he didn’t get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged,” she said. “I should have gotten it,” Trump said. He is going to get it, all right. Come Nov. 8, I think he is going to get it but good. Roger Simon is chief political columnist of politico.com, an award-winning journalist and a New York Times best selling author.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, help me to understand that while I may be content to rest with what I have gathered, I cannot preserve the strength of my soul unless I share my possessions. Give me a passion for humanity that will advance gifts through love, and oﬀer service without the need of an appeal. Amen.

A verse to share “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.” — Zechariah 8:23

State’s vote to offer few surprises Observers who are looking for Mississippi to provide any major surprises in our state’s 2016 presidential balloting are likely to be disappointed. From 1980 to the present, Mississippi has voted Republican in presidential politics. Since 1996, Mississippi has voted Republican in presidential politics by an average of 55.6 percent and Democrat by an average 42.2 percent — with the rest of the vote scattered among third party or independent candidates. Trump’s near implosion in the national polls acknowledged, none of the nation’s recognized pollsters or analysts are projecting Mississippi as anything but a “safe” state for Republican Donald Trump. This year, the polls show Trump with a narrowing lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton in Mississippi. Nate Silver currently gives Trump a 95.2 percent chance of taking Mississippi’s six electoral votes – while the analyst likewise gives Clinton an 87.6 percent chance of winning the presidency nationally. Trump’s campaign has certainly invested heav-

ily in Mississippi in terms of candidate and candidate surrogate visits. AfSid Salter ter Trump’s son spoke at Columnist the Neshoba County Fair in July, Trump’s numbers in Mississippi soared to a lead of 27 points in the Ipsos polling done the last two weeks of August. Currently, the same Ipsos polls show Trump’s lead at six points in Mississippi. By and large, Mississippi’s Republican elected oﬃcials have remained loyal to Trump despite the emergence of issues that cause significant political problems in heavily religious states like Mississippi. Mississippi has 1.89 million registered voters. In 2012, about 1.2 million of those people voted. In 2008, 1.7 million people voted. In 2012, GOP nominee Mitt Romney won about 710,746 votes. In 2008, the GOP’s John McCain won 725,000. President Barack Obama’s total fell to 562,949, down 30,000

votes from 2008 to 2012. Figures are rounded. Obama won 43.7 percent of the 2012 vote in Mississippi. While that’s not close to victory, it’s the secondbest performance of any Democrat in the last eight election cycles. Only better was the 44.1 percent of Mississippi ballots that Bill Clinton garnered in his 1996 re-election win. In 2012, Mississippi ranked 31st in voter turnout with 59.50 percent turnout — above the national average of 57.5 percent. Mississippi represents 1.115 percent of the electoral vote total. In the 2012 election, Mississippi with 1.2 million of the total 126.14 million votes cast, accounted for 0.951 percent of the nation’s popular vote. Voters who reject voting for either Clinton or Trump can gravitate toward the Libertarian ticket of Gary Johnson and William Weld, the Green Party ticket of Dr. Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka, the Constitution Party ticket of Darrell Castle and Scott Bradley, the Reform Party ticket of Rocky de la Fuente and Michael Steinberg, or the Prohibition

Party ticket of Jim Hedges and Bill Bayes. Is there a fair expectation that some female Republican voters in Mississippi may abandon Trump based on the events of the last two weeks? Clearly, the narrowing polls suggest that. But 36 years of voting patterns suggest that at the end of this remarkable election cycle, the GOP nominee with get the majority of Mississippi’s popular vote and all of the state’s six electoral votes. What should be noted is that the majority of Mississippi voters are female. With the state’s racial split still roughly 60-40 white, the implications are obvious. White female voters are the sleeping giant in Mississippi politics. How those voters feel at a very visceral level about Trump will have a great deal to do with whether Mississippi continues a presidential voting trend favoring Republicans for a tenth time. Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.

Which party will hold senate, house? Which party is going to control the House and hold a majority in the Senate in January 2017? Even if you regard the presidential contest as over -- a proposition for which there is powerful evidence, including Donald Trump’s current campaign message choices -- the answers to those questions are, respectively, mildly and very unclear. The Trump campaign has a legitimate gripe against mainstream media for their nonstop coverage of the groping charges against him and their downplaying — or complete blackout — of the WikiLeaks and other revelations about Hillary Clinton and her supporters inside and outside the Obama administration. Does she really, as she swore under oath, have no recollection of key facts about her email servers? Her advisers’ contempt for the Roman Catholic faith and willingness to use politics and government to transform it should put a chill up the spine of anyone who thinks the Framers got it right with the First Amendment in banning the federal government from prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Mainstream (and other) media were happy to give Trump lots of airtime in the primaries, while the Clinton folks, we learn, tried to manipulate the nomination process in his favor. But the First Amendment guaran-

tees a free press, not a fair one. Any Republican candidate has to expect unfair treatMichael ment, and Barone one vulnerable to damagColumnist ing last-minute stories maybe shouldn’t run. So far, the evidence suggests that the eﬀect of all this on down-ballot races is less than you might think. Americans have been voting mostly straight party tickets for 20 years, as the major parties’ presidential and congressional candidates have been closely aligned. The Republicans are obviously not so aligned this year. Polling conducted between Sept. 26 (when the first debate was) and Oct. 12, according to FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten, shows Trump losing ground in all the 26 states with Senate races being polled. But it also shows Republican candidates gaining ground — some a little, some a lot — in 24 of the 26 states. The exceptions are Illinois, where Republican incumbent Mark Kirk has always been the underdog, and Colorado. Senate races are relatively high-visibility contests. Enten’s numbers show that even as Trump’s chances have fallen, Republican Senate candidates have gained ground in key races in Wisconsin (where many

had given up on incumbent Ron Johnson), Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Nevada (the one possible Republican gain). His website rates the chances of Republicans limiting their net loss to three, which would guarantee their majority, as slightly under 50 percent. There’s not much publicly available polling in House races — aside from the two parties’ committees’ releases, which understandably are limited to those showing their side winning or doing better than expected. But information about district demographics provided by The Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman helps identify districts where a Trump downdraft could cost Republicans seats. Of the 26 Republican seats Cook labels toss-ups or only leaning Republican, only eight have large pluralities of anti-Trump demographic groups -- e.g., Latinos and white college grads -- over non-collegeeducated whites, who lean toward him. Republicans also stand to lose a net one or two seats because of mid-decade redistricting. And they have fewer targets -- only seven Democratic seats are rated toss-ups or leaning by Cook -- for oﬀsetting gains. Wasserman forecasts the net Republican loss at 10 to 15, with Democrats needing 30 to make Nancy Pelosi speaker again. Paul Ryan’s widely report-

ed conference call Oct. 10, the morning after the second presidential debate, gave approval to what had already been going on -- disavowal, to varying degrees, by Republican House members in anti-Trump-leaning districts. Some leading authorities, including Karl Rove and National Review Editor Rich Lowry, think it unwise to have gone public on this. Better to keep mum and let members do their thing. The problem with this is the one factor pollsters have trouble projecting -- turnout. If voters believe that Hillary Clinton is sure to be elected, they might elect Republican senators and representatives as a check and balance. But some Republican-leaning voters might be so dismayed or disgusted as to not bother voting at all. Ryan’s message to them is that it still matters. Turnout has been declining, not increasing, during the Obama years, and the Clinton campaign is clearly worried about low turnout, especially among millennials. The Senate and House contests may turn on which side’s turnout sags most.

Cyberattacks disrupt Internet services Associated Press

Withering cyberattacks on server farms of a key Internet firm repeatedly disrupted access to major websites and online services including Twitter, Netflix and PayPal across the United States on Friday. The White House called the disruption malicious and a hacker group claimed responsibility, though its assertion couldn’t be verified. Manchester, New Hampshire-based Dyn Inc. said its data centers were hit by three waves of distributed denial-of-service attacks, which overwhelm targeted machines with junk data traffic. The attacks, shifting geographically, had knock-on effects for users trying to access popular websites across the U.S. even in Europe. “The complexity of the attacks is what is making it so difficult for us,” said Kyle York, the company’s chief strategy officer. “What they are actually doing is moving around the world with each attack.” He said an East Coast data center was hit first; attacks on an offshore target followed later. The data flood came from tens of millions of different Internet-connected machines — including increasingly popular but highly insecure household devices such as web-connected cameras. It was an onslaught whose global shifts suggested a sophisticated at-

tacker, though Dyn said it had neither suspect nor motive.
