City hears four-way stop concerns BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Concerns about the new fourway stop at Fillmore Street and Third Street came before the latest meeting of the Board of Aldermen. Motorists have regularly been

failing to stop at the intersection. “I have three small children, and we’ve got to slow it down on Fillmore Street coming into town,” said concerned resident Russell Smith. “I know it’s a thoroughfare to get down-

town from Shiloh Road, but if we don’t slow it down through there, people are going to die. We’ve got to do something.” Lack of visibility of the signs was partly blamed for the problem. The street department

planned to do some tree trimming and also to relocate some of the signs which were found to be either too close to the sidewalk or too far from the street according to regulations. “The trees that are between the sidewalk and the street

throughout our downtown add a great deal of charm to Corinth,” said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung, “but it also makes seeing signs difficult at times, and it makes it difficult Please see CONCERNS | 2A

Man uncovers layers of history Drive underway for coats, food, toys BY JEBB JOHNSTON

Like a detective probing forensic clues, Matthew J. Mosca spent the past week examining peeling paint and bits of plaster to uncover the original colors and wood finishes of the Verandah-Curlee House interior. His observations, combined with laboratory analysis, will be compiled in a report to be submitted to the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission in February to guide the interior restoration of the home. A historic paint finishes consultant with more than 30 years of experience, Mosca did paint investigations for Mt. Vernon, Carnton Plantation near Franklin, Tenn., and Carter House. During the summer, he investigated the original colors for the U.S. ambassador’s home in Paris. In the parlor of the Verandah-Curlee House, which he described as “the most elaborate and interesting room” with its intricate plasterwork, he found the predominant colors to be white and pale gray with some possible wallpapering of recessed panels. Different types of paints were used through the years. The oldest is water soluble, Please see HISTORY | 6A

Mathis releasing new album, ‘Feels Like Home’ BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth “Feels Like Home” for Ben Mathis. The singer/songwriter will be in town for a show Nov. 6 to promote his first album “Feels Like Home.” “I am definitely excited,” said Mathis of the 7 p.m. show. “So many people have made me feel at home in Corinth and I want to show them what I have been working on.” Mathis, the son of Dr. Phil and Cindy Mathis of Corinth, is a 2005 graduate of Tupelo High School. He is a past winner of the Slug Idol contest held during the Slugburger Festival. The 27-yearold country singer has also performed during the Corinth Music Club’s Mid-Morning Concert Series, Corinth High School Follies and other local events. “The Coliseum is really a cool place to perform,” he said. “It will be a great en-

vironment to hear music.” “Feels Like Home” is set for release Nov. 4. “It has been three years in the making,” said the singer. “Bil VornDick was very helpful in seeing what worked.” The album, produced by Mathis and VornDick, contains such songs as “Once You Go Country,” “Rockstar,” “Highway,” “She’s Got That Something,” “Dreaming About You,” “Save Me from This Place,” “Keep on Asking Why,” “Feels Like Home,” “Through the Rain,” “This Ain’t Over Yet,” “Don’t Want Yesterday,” and “One Petal Daisy.” “The name of the album just kind of fit,” said Mathis. “There is nothing specific about it … it’s something that feels right.” Of the 12 songs on the album, none sticks out more than the other for the artist. “The songs are kind

like your children,” he said. “You love something different about each of them.” His venture into country music is natural for the performer. “When I got into writing country music it was something I knew,” he said. “Country music is so broad today that you write what you know.” Mathis plans a high-energy show for Nov. 6. “I want to compete with the best in every show I do,” said Mathis. “I want to do big things with a lot of energy.” Mathis will also be doing a Tupelo show on Nov. 7 at the Link Centre. After that, several other shows are scheduled to promote the album. “My goal now is to move forward as a country music artist,” he said. “This is a good starting point to do that.” Tickets for the concert are $10.

Corinth High School Marching Band members include Jazsmin Walker, Mikal Nunley and John Shepherd.

Event organizer and Corinth High School band director Tommy Thompson received a superior rating last weekend following the successful completion of the Crossroads Marching Classic. Eleven bands from North Mississippi and West Tennessee marched into Corinth Oct. 18 for the first ever band competition presented by CHS. “The contest was huge,” said Thompson. “Everything ran smoothly, safely and on time.” The Corinth competition start time was moved up 30 minutes to help accommodate those bands traveling from the rescheduled MSHAA Region 1 Marching Band Festival held in Tupelo held the same day. “We had a lot of really impressive bands show up,” he said. “Every band that took the field fared well in judges scoring.” Houston, Tennessee, was selected as the overall Grand Champion. Reserve Grand Champion was Hardin County, Ten-

Alcorn Central High School Marching Band received “1” ratings for percussion, drum major, color guard, band and overall band. The Golden Bears also took home second place overall for color guard. The Corinth Warrior Band provided an exhibition performance and was not judged. “Our kids had their best performance of the year so far,” said Thompson. “I was very pleased.” All 11 bands who performed received “1” ratings for overall band. Plans for the 2015 edition of the marching classic have already begun. “We should see an in-

crease in the number of bands participating next year due to the overwhelming positive response from the band directors, judges and people traveling with their band programs,” the director said. “Corinth was well represented by our parents, students, faculty and administrators.” Thompson said the event was community led. “I can’t express enough how appreciative I am for the sponsors who made this event possible and everyone’s support in this endeavor,” he added. “We are truly blessed to have a great school and a great community who supports everything we do.” Other bands who competed included Hamilton, Alabama; Water Valley, Nettleton, Bruce and Itawamba.

Verdung discussed adding some temporary signage to call attention to the stop, and Police Chief David Lancaster said his department would put a patrolman in the area to stop some motorists and help increase awareness of the new stop. Also, the proposed five-way stop at Hickory and Poplar is on hold for now.

Today in History

Villa set to open factory, plans to hire 75 workers

Today is Sunday, Oct. 26, the 299th day of 2014. There are 66 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On Oct. 26, 1944, the World War II Battle of Leyte Gulf ended in a major Allied victory over Japanese forces, whose naval capabilities were badly crippled.

On this date In 1881, the “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” took place in Tombstone, Arizona. In 1921, the Chicago Theatre, billed as “the Wonder Theatre of the World,” first opened. In 1949, President Harry S. Truman signed a measure raising the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour. In 1958, Pan American Airways flew its first Boeing 707 jetliner from New York to Paris in 8 hours and 41 minutes. In 1972, national security adviser Henry Kissinger declared, “Peace is at hand” in Vietnam. Aviation innovator Igor Sikorsky died in Easton, Connecticut, at age 83. In 1974, five bombs exploded at business sites in midtown Manhattan and Wall Street, injuring no one; the Puerto Rican separatist group FALN claimed responsibility. In 1979, South Korean President Park Chung-hee was shot to death during a dinner party along with his chief bodyguard by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Kim Jae-kyu, who was later executed. In 1984, “Baby Fae,” a newborn with a severe heart defect, was given the heart of a baboon in an experimental transplant in Loma Linda, California. (Baby Fae lived 21 days with the animal heart.) In 1994, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Prime Minister Abdel Salam Majali of Jordan signed a peace treaty during a ceremony at the Israeli-Jordanian border attended by President Bill Clinton.

BELMONT — A recreational vehicle furniture manufacturer is set to open a factory in Tishomingo County in the coming months. The company plans to hire 75 employees. Villa International will invest $250,000 at the Belmont site, near one of their customers, Tiffin MotorHomes, whose factory is located in Red Bay, Alabama. The Mississippi Development Authority will loan Tishomingo County $507,000 to purchase the former Falcon Products building in Belmont, and give $300,000 for improvements. The Appalachian Regional Commission, a federal agency, will give $100,000 for improvements.

Iuka panel upholds order to vacate condemned motel IUKA — A three-member, city appointed board announced this week that the condemned Sunset Lodge/Battlefield Inn was in no condition to house residents. Owner Jacqueline Bunns appealed an order issued by officials in early October that occupants of the motel must vacate the premises, after the Iuka fire chief and building inspector cited numerous safety and health violations including exposed wiring, inoperable smoke detectors, missing fire extinguishers, extensive clutter, animal feces and vomit throughout, roaches in all areas and the heavy present of mildew and black mold throughout.

Railroads are a central focus of the Crossroads Museum at the Historic Corinth Depot, and rightly so. Tracks put down for the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio railroads cross just behind the building, and turned the town into a strategic transportation hub during the Civil War. The museum has the original survey equipment that was used in the mid-1800s to decide where those tracks would go. A conductor’s uniform is on display, and nearly a dozen vintage railroad lanterns are lined up in a row. One case contains Pullman playing cards, and outside the

BOONEVILLE — Responsibility for managing transportation in the Prentiss County School District will be split among the district’s principals under a plan approved by school board members Monday night. The board formally accepted the retirement Monday of district transportation director Bobby Johnson. Superintendent Randle Downs recommended not filling the position and instead giving the individual principals the responsibility for handling their own bus routes and transportation-related issues. He said he has spoken with all the principals and they’ve expressed a willingness to take on the duties. He noted Hills Chapel Elementary School Principal Nickey Marshall has agreed to handle all districtwide paperwork related to transportation. The board approved the proposal and it was noted the issue could be revisited in the future if the new plan doesn’t

Booneville aldermen approve raises BOONEVILLE — City employees will see a bit more in their paychecks after the Booneville Board of Aldermen approved a pay raise proposal last week.. The board voted unanimously for the proposal following a closed executive session to discuss specific employees. Mayor Derrick Blythe said the raise will amount to 25 cents per hour for most employees. He said the changes will also level pay among employees with similar responsibilities and establish a pay schedule determining pay rates for employees based on specific skills and years of experience.

Arts in McNairy to hold auditions SELMER, Tenn. — Arts in McNairy has announced auditions for their upcoming production of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, adapted for the stage by Emily Pitts Donahoe and Shawn Pitts. Auditions will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27 and Tuesday, Oct. 28 at the McNairy County Visitors Center (The Latta). Performances will be Dec. 12 and 14. There are multiple roles for adults and children. A backstage crew will also be needed. The show will be directed by Kevin Binger.

Stone author, historian to recreate speech TUPELO — A longtime gover-

nor is running for reelection. Ben Earl Kitchens portraying Gov. John Marshall Stone is set to announce his 1889 plea for reelection for his third term as Mississippi governor. The author will be at the Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area Exhibit Center in Tupelo on Oct. 30 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Stone served as Iuka mayor and Mississippi governor. Stone was inaugurated as governor on three separate occasions, and was the longest serving governor in state history. Kitchens, a local historian, chronicles Stone from his early life to his death in his book, Gov. John Marshall Stone — Mississippi’s Honorable and Longest Serving Governor. Following his announcement for reelection, Kitchens will autograph copies of his book. The public is invited to attend.

Blue Mountain hosts Topper Festival BLUE MOUNTAIN — Blue Mountain College will hold its annual Topper Festival from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 8.

our Corinth is the Crossroads of the South.” The railroad made a lot of the town’s history possible, but certainly not all of it. One of the first exhibits that visitors see after walking in the door can be traced back hundreds of millions of years. “We have a map showing how this area used to be covered with water,” Steen said. Fossils include a giant clam, oysters and shark teeth that were found in Northeast Mississippi, and there’s more to be discovered. “You can still find fossils in a creek in Biggersville,” Steen said.

I’ll tell them a train will come through and then we’ll have no train when they’re here, so they’re disappointed,” Steen said. “It’s great when a train comes through with them here. They run to the window to watch. It’s fun to see.” Trains are important to the museum because they’ve been so important to Corinth’s history. “It used to be Cross City when the town formed and up until 1855, then a local representative decided to change the name to Corinth after Corinth, Greece,” Steen said. “That Corinth was the Crossroads of Greece, and

I personally wouldn’t want to sleep on a caboose, but a lot of people did.” Back inside the museum, a panel offers a sampling of railroad humor: Why don’t elephants like to ride on railroads?

Corinth, Miss.

Cruising toward the end of a long strange trip Let’s step back a bit from normal prognostication in what has now supplanted the 1983 Mississippi gubernatorial campaign as the strangest political campaign in the state’s long and bewildering political history. The 1983 campaign merely generated still legally unproven and still legally unchallenged allegations of sexual misconduct. It set off media fistfights, a small parade of transvestite prostitutes, lie detector tests and resulting gubernatorial campaign that saw Sid Salter the winner basically cloistered in the Governor’s Mansion for Columnist four years. But through the prism of history, the late Bill Allain was able to reign over a quite productive term as governor. The 2014 Mississippi Republican U.S. Senate primary has far surpassed that 1983 campaign in terms of weird developments, outlandish strategies, and sheer length. If the 1983 campaign was a bizarre sprint, the 2014 Senate race in Mississippi has been an interminable marathon. In what was forecast as his final campaign after a long and distinguished career, sixterm incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran saw opponents characterize his 40year record of reliable right-of-center conservatism redefined by his GOP challenger as four decades of support for liberal causes and for wild-eyed and irresponsible spending. Cochran’s actual record clearly doesn’t support that allegation in the least, but with an “AstroTurf” group armada attacking on an unprecedented scale in Mississippi politics that record’s reality was obscured into another perception. As noted in prior columns on the subject, the 2014 U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi was the target of “AstroTurf” groups and super PACs (political action committees) on an unprecedented scale. State voters experienced the handiwork of such high-sounding groups as Club for Growth, Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks — groups that funneled some whopping sums of PAC money into attack ads against primarily incumbent Republicans. In Mississippi, outside spending has to date accounted for $11.7 million of what has become a $19.7 million campaign. Why? Because Cochran read the part of the Constitution that balanced the power of the U.S. president to direct spending with that of Congress to do the very same thing. Why? Because there’s a lot of money to be made in making folks afraid of something and then convincing them that someone’s to blame for it. With those outside spending spigots turned off, national pundits now rate the Mississippi Senate general election as a “safe” Republican seat despite a credible Democratic candidate in former Democratic U.S. Rep. Travis Childers. The legal challenge of the results of the 2014 Republican second primary by state Sen. Chris McDaniel, R-Ellisville, has taken on a political and legal life of its own. That effort continues, but the Mississippi 2014 general election likewise seems to have taken on a trajectory of its own as well. For Mississippi voters – even those who remain loyal to Sen. McDaniel – there is a national political trajectory to be considered as well. Republican chances to take control of the U.S. Senate have narrowed since midyear. A Republican victory in Mississippi is very directly tied to a Republican victory in taking control of the U.S. Senate. It will be indeed interesting and instructive for mainstream Mississippi Republicans and for the state’s Tea Party loyalists as well as to see how the actual majority of Mississippi Republicans react to that clear political choice at the national level and how they exercise their state’s part in making that choice. Mississippi Democrats, who haven’t won a U.S. Senate race in a very long time, draw inspiration from that GOP conflict. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state.

Prayer for today My Lord, help me to adjust my life to what I ought to be, rather than be content in what I am. May I not spend my time in dreaming of obstacles, or searching for things that hurt, but may I be gentle and kind, and as I see the truth speak for it and follow it. Amen.

A verse to share “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” — 2 Peter 3:9

Who needs an Ebola czar? “Rabbi, is there a proper blessing for the czar?” He thinks for a moment and responds: “May God bless and keep the czar ... far away from us!” – “Fiddler on the Roof” Today, “czar” is a term encouraged by the media to describe one who oversees a specific government policy. According to The Atlantic.com, President Franklin Roosevelt “solidified the trend” of using the word czar to identify policy appointees. Some modern presidents appointed several czars. Ronald Reagan named just one, a drug czar. He was Carlton Turner, director of the Drug Abuse Policy Office. How well that worked can be seen in the increasing numbers of states, and the District of Columbia, that have legalized or decriminalized the use of marijuana. To combat the Ebola virus, President Obama has named a political operative, Ron Klain, as his Ebola czar. Defenders of the appointment say Klain is an experienced political operative who can “coordinate” the U.S. response to the virus. Why do we need a coordi-

nator? What is the secretary of Health and Human Services for? How about the surgeon Cal general’s ofThomas fice? Granted, we have Columnist only an acting surgeon general because Republicans opposed President Obama’s choice due to his advocacy of gun control and other policies they oppose, but an acting surgeon general can still act like one. Recall the late U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, appointed by Reagan. The left was strongly opposed to Koop, largely because of his pro-life views, but after the professional way he addressed the AIDS epidemic, many liberal senators, convinced of his integrity, supported him. A virus doesn’t discriminate. It can kill Democrats and Republicans and so should have no place in the political debate. Except President Obama seems determined to turn even Ebola into a political fight by selecting a rabid partisan and

former aide to Vice President Joe Biden and Al Gore. According to the White House, Klain will report, not to President Obama, but to National Security Adviser Susan Rice and probably White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, who increasingly seems the real power behind the White House throne. One of the problems in dealing with Ebola has been the diversity of voices and opinions coming from different places. The president says one thing, spokespeople at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas another, Dr. Thomas Frieden at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention something else and doctors at the National Institutes of Health something different again. And sometimes their diagnoses don’t match, or have to be updated with circumstances that mutate into things previous statements said were unlikely to occur. All of this adds to the perception by many Americans – reflected in numerouspolls – that incompetents are running our government.

On Wednesday, the CDC finally announced a program to monitor those entering the country from Ebola-affected countries in West Africa. Shouldn’t we have been doing this all along? After all, we monitor fruit, vegetables and plants entering the U.S. from other countries. Should I wish to travel with a pet, in some countries it must be quarantined for days, even weeks, to make sure it is free of disease. Monitoring humans who might be infected with a potentially deadly virus should have been a nobrainer weeks ago. Klain’s only medical experience seems to be selfadministering aspirin for a headache. While well connected to the Democratic Party, he lacks the standing and credibility to coordinate the anti-Ebola fight. And so, he should be kept “far away from us.” (Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

Failing bridges now a mainstream concern BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Columnist

JACKSON — Mention highway safety and people have all sorts of ideas of what that means. To the Highway Patrol, it suggests expanding the ranks of state troopers. For the Mississippi Department of Transportation, it’s a well-maintained road system. For Mothers Against Drunk Driving, getting intoxicated drivers off the roads is the highest priority. And there are those against texting, tweeting or talking on cellphones. However, if you ask Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Willie Simmons and Transportation Commissioner Tom King, people want to know about bridges — the ones that have fallen down and the ones that might — and who is going to fix them. “There’s a serious problem out there with bridges,” said King, who lives in Petal near Hattiesburg. He rep-

resents the southern district on the three-member Transportation Commission. “We’re having to post a lot of bridges, lowering the weight limits, and that’s affect farmers in north Mississippi and loggers in my part of the state. Now you’re talking about economic impact,” King said. He said it would cost $2 billion to repair or replace hundreds of state and local bridges. That’s money the state’s unlikely to provide. Mississippi Department of Transportation officials say the state has 700 bridges with weight limits, forcing loggers, farmers and others driving heavy vehicles to seek alternate routes that are often longer and more expensive. The Delta Council economic development group, for example, has complained about weightlimited bridges on Mississippi Highway 6 between Batesville and Clarksdale. Officials say it would cost

about $700 million to replace just those posted bridges. “There are serious concerns from all areas of the state,” said Simmons, a Democrat from Cleveland. “The impact is hardest on our agriculture community and businesses that cannot travel those highways where bridges are posted.” The Mississippi Economic Council is looking at the state’s transportation infrastructure but vice president Scott Waller said the research is expected to take up to a year, pushing deep into 2015 after numbers are crunched. “This is both data-driven and market-driven research,” Waller said. Simmons said there’s an immediate need. “We’re struggling for resources under the existing (funding) formula now and we haven’t raised taxes in two decades,” Simmons said. “I’m not saying we should raise taxes. I am willing to wait to see when

the MEC comes with but in 24 months things are going to get worse for residents who can’t get to where they need to be.” King, a former state senator and transportation committee chairman, said funding is needed. “That great program we launched in 1987 had money for new roads but maintenance was left out,” King said. “We are paying for that now.” Lawmakers worked into the final days of the 2014 legislative session on a deal to fund transportation projects. They put an extra $32 million into a program that helps local governments pay for road construction — but only if tax collections continue coming in at a good pace. If the economy falters, the money would not be spent. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jack Elliott Jr. is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Across the Nation Associated Press

Huge probe follows killing of deputies SACRAMENTO, Calif. — More than 100 law enforcement officers from across Northern California responded without being asked after hearing that one of their own had been killed at the start of a shooting rampage, a sheriff’s spokeswoman said Saturday. Federal, state and local officers eventually swarmed six separate crime scenes across a 30-mile region encompassing two counties, Placer County sheriff’s spokeswoman Dena Erwin said. “It was an amazing response,” Erwin said. “We don’t call for those people, they just show up on their own because they know a fellow officer has been shot.” The officers from the state Department of Justice, FBI, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other agencies will be questioned as part of the complex, ongoing investigation into the attack on Friday that ended after two deputies were dead and two other victims were wounded. Placer County Sheriff Ed Bonner described the crime scenes as “incredibly chaotic” and vowed to piece together details of the attacks. “It’s a very large-scale investigation for sure,” Erwin said. “It’s just a nightmare.” Two suspects were questioned for hours as authorities sought a motive for the shootings

that began when Sacramento County sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver, 47, was shot in the forehead with an assault rifle at close range as he checked out a suspicious car in a motel parking lot.

Teacher attempted to stop shooting TULALIP, Wash. — A newly hired teacher confronted a gunman and was being hailed as a hero on Saturday after a deadly shooting rampage in the cafeteria of a Washington state high school. First-year social studies teacher Megan Silberberger intervened in the attack on Friday at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, teachers union president Randy Davis said. The teacher intercepted the gunman as he paused, possibly trying to reload, student Erick Cervantes told KIRO-TV. “I’m completely amazed by her actions and I feel for her,” Davis told The Associated Press. “I don’t know why she was in the cafeteria but I’m just grateful she was there.” The attacker killed one girl on Friday and seriously wounded four others — including two of his cousins — before he died of what police said was a self-inflicted wound. However, it wasn’t clear if the shooter committed suicide or if he accidentally shot himself in the struggle with the teacher. A school resource officer also ran to the scene, Davis said.

Early voting alters strategies, costs LOS ANGELES — For over 1 million Californians, the Nov. 4 election is over. That’s because they’ve already voted. A growing throng of early voters in the nation’s most populous state — perhaps comprising half of all votes to be cast in California’s general election — has stretched Election Day into weeks. Candidates who wait until the end to close the deal with voters will be too late. “The election is not a one-day event anymore. It’s a 30-day event,” said veteran Democratic strategist Bill Carrick, who is spearheading Kennedy clan member Bobby Shriver’s campaign for Los Angeles County supervisor. The midterm elections are just over a week away and California is one of more than 30 states in which some form of advance voting is shaping the way campaigns must be conducted. In some rural areas of the state, 8 of every 10 ballots cast could come through the mail. The strategy-shifting dynamics caused by early voting are coming into play in states such as Florida, where Republican Gov. Rick Scott faces a tough reelection challenge from Democrat Charlie Crist, and Iowa, where GOP Senate candidate Joni Ernst hopes to defeat Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley and pick up one of the six additional seats the party needs for a majority.

Associated Press

New district health officer announced TUPELO — Family medicine physician Dr. Crystal “Chris” Tate of Ecru is the new district health officer for 11 Northeast Mississippi counties. Tate, who joined the Mississippi Department of Health in 2011, was officially appointed district health officer serving Alcorn, Benton, Itawamba, Lafayette, Lee, Marshall, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo and Union counties in October. The Northeast Mississippi Daly Journal reports Tate was serving as acting district health officer since January, succeeding Dr. Roma Taylor, who retired from the health department. Tate graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in mathematics in 1988 and the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in 1992. She also completed her family medicine residency in Jackson. She was part of the original faculty for the North Mississippi Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Center.

4 killed, 6 injured in traffic accident BROOKHAVEN — The Mississippi Highway Patrol says four people died and six others were injured in a traffic accident in Brookhaven. The highway patrol says the accident shortly before 11 p.m. Friday and involved a Chevrolet pickup driven by a 40-year-old Brookhaven man. The pickup was

heading east on U.S. Highway 84 when it crashed into a Dodge Stratus, driven by a 17-year-old who was attempting to cross the highway. Four passengers in the Stratus were pronounced dead at the scene: 19-year-old Nicholas King of Brookhaven, 17-year-old Kylee McCord of Bogue Chitto, 21-year-old Curtis Gunnel of Bogue Chitto, and 16-year-old Faith White of Brookhaven Six others were reported hurt — two of them with injuries described as life-threatening. Dustin Hall, 17, the driver of the Stratus, was transported to the University of Mississippi Medical Center with life threatening injuries. A woman identified as 23-year-old Aireona Allison of Boque Chitto was hospitalized with lifethreatening injuries.

Oxford halts Guard armory demolition OXFORD — The Oxford Board of Aldermen has approved spending up to $100,000 to save the existing old National Guard Armory frame and roof to turn it into a pavilion for open-air events. Demolition contractor Southern General had stripped the building of most of its outer walls along with interior rooms when work was stopped. Oxford Director of Public Works Bart Robinson said the structure’s foundation is in good shape, and while the columns have some cosmetic damage from the demolition process on its walls, it’s not severe.

“There’s a little damage to the slab, but it shouldn’t be hard to repair. Your concrete is there, and your roof is there. I think we leave that roof on, saw the ends flush, put a new roof on top of the existing roof. Paving the parking lot is not going to be that costly in the grand scheme of things,” Robinson said. Robinson said the city will have to renegotiate the demolition contract. The contractor will save the cost of further work, including breaking up and hauling off the slab, but will lose the sale of the frame, he said.

Fulton voters decide on alcohol Tuesday FULTON — Fulton voters will decide Tuesday whether to allow the sale of liquor or beer, or both, inside the city limits. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Proponents of alcohol argue that it brings in additional sales taxes. Opponents argue it brings crime and other problems. The ballot in Fulton asks voters to determine two separate issues: Whether or not to allow the sale of beer and light wines of relatively low alcoholic content, and the same for liquors of higher alcoholic content. Either or both ballots can be answered with a “yes” or “no” vote. The Itawamba County Times reports if either beer and light wine or liquor sales are approved, city officials will set guidelines to determine how the sales are handled. www.edwardjones.com

Esses added his owns flare with Korean flavors, like kimchee braised pork tacos, spicy chicken wings with a crust as crunchy as cracklings and KPots, brabrant potatoes in a secret spicy sauce that are like a Korean answer to Spanish patatas bravas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a New Yorker coming down to New Orleans,â&#x20AC;?

He took the same approach to Korean food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sesame, garlic, soy sauce, a little bit of spice is Korean,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can make anything taste kind of Korean if you use those ingredients.â&#x20AC;? Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Moon Ja, died 10 years ago at 70, after three years in New Orleans. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happy to know that her recipes are now being served on Frenchmen Street. She loved the city.

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sophie Lee says a plan has guided her life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one that Lee, now manager and co-owner of Three Muses and the new Korean restaurant Seoul Shack, could always recognize. When she was little, her mom and dad, Moon Ja and Alvin, ran a hot dog stand near Chicago called A&M Carry Outs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That restaurant was in my blood,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can remember being 4 years old and sitting in the hot dog stand watching mom chop onions.â&#x20AC;? Food, though, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t important to Lee until much later. After kicking around Chicago singing in a rock band, Lee ended up in Meridian, Mississippi, to be near her mother, who

one Korean dish. Since it opened, the Frenchmen Street restaurant and music venue has always served bulgogi-style beef rice bowl, or bibimbap. Lee showed Esses how to make the bulgogi, just as her mother, who was born outside Seoul, had shown her when she was a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the language, but she made sure we knew how to cook the food,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoyed it and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why. As my life progressed, I got more interested in food, Three Muses happened, it all made sense.â&#x20AC;? On Oct. 16, Lee and Esses opened Seoul Shack, a Korean walk-up kitchen off the Dragon Denâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ivycovered patio. For this project, Lee had to teach Esses a few more of her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes. The brief menu at Seoul Shack includes the bulgogi rice bowl popular at Three Muses, although at the new place Esses added some touches like cucumbers, carrots and a fried egg that make it more traditional. Chap chae, a dish of sweet potato noodles with slivers of vegetables, is completely vegetarian but has the same satisfying depth

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For many high school seniors, fall means deciding where to apply for college and maybe visiting a guidance counselor. Data crunchers hope to help. The popularity of social media sites and advancements in the ability to analyze the vast amounts of data we put online give members of the class of 2015 more tools than ever to help chart their next step, even if finding the right college is an inexact science. The professional networking site LinkedIn has just come out with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;University Finder,â&#x20AC;? which identifies which colleges are popular with which companies. Parchment.com pools student data to predict an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college admission prospects. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a dating service-like site for higher education: Admitted.ly pairs students with colleges based on such factors as body piercings and whether applicants go to church. These sites are joining the game of college rankings, which has some edu-

cation experts excited and other rolling their eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For many families and students, the admissions process is very opaque,â&#x20AC;? said Matthew Pittinsky, co-founder of the education technology giant Blackboard and chief executive officer of Parchment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happing now is that they (students) are beginning to share data with each other ... to bring transparencyâ&#x20AC;? to the process. Lloyd Thacker, head of the Education Conservancy and a critic of college rankings, has another take: These sites are one more way to profit from senior-year angst and encourage group-think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technology has no inner logic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we should use it.â&#x20AC;? Picking a college is nothing like it once was. In 1980, there were 3,150 colleges and universities, according to the Department of Education, and a primary factor for many students was location. Now, there are close to 4,700 schools, many of which go out of their way to attract out-of-state students because of the money they bring. Many schools might seem more selective than they really are, and students worried about getting turned down apply to lots of schools as a way to hedge their bets. Halle Lukasiewicz, 18, said she remembers the day Northwestern University, a private research university in Illinois and her top choice, began emailing acceptance letters. A chatroom devoted to Northwestern hopefuls on a site called â&#x20AC;&#x153;College Confidentialâ&#x20AC;? was buzzing. Kids were posting their grades and test scores and whether they had gotten in. Lukasiewicz, an occasional lurker on the site, found she could not look away even though her mom begged her to stop. Finally, an email slid across her phone: accepted. Now a Northwestern freshman studying radio, television and film, Lukasiewicz said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure the site added much value other than to stress her out.
