Liquor vote petition tops 2,000 names BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Supporters of a liquor vote in Corinth are getting close to the target number of signatures. In the past week, the number of signatures gathered has risen to 2,100. The required number — 20 percent of city voters — is around 2,395. “We are steadily working at

it,” said supporter John Orman. “Basically we are encouraging people that have gotten petitions signed to turn them in at the drop off locations or mail them to us. We need to get a firm count.” They plan to submit the petitions to the city once the number reaches 2,400. Orman said supporters are
pleased with the results of the first five weeks of the effort. “We knew the first 1,500 would go quick,” he said. “We’re at the point now where they are coming a little slower.” Businesses where the petition can be signed or turned in include Pizza Grocery, Nickels Signs and Graphics, Lucy’s on Cruise, JT’s Falafel & Kababs,
Mi Toro, Lil Chicago, Cafe Mike’s, Dixie Coins, Southern Carports and R&T’s Corner Tobacco & Beverage. The website is corinthforavote.com. Under the new state law, the petition seeks a Corinth-only vote, excluding county voters. With the change in state law, citizens in cities of at least 5,000 population or in county
seats located in counties that have voted dry in the past may seek an election. In Iuka, resident Charles Aldridge has begun a petition for a city vote and has a little more than 200 signatures thus far. He said he needs 519 but has been told that number may decrease due to some cleaning up of the poll books.
Seven arrested for controlled substances

Corinth School District trustees receently voted to revamped the Hall of Fame selection process in an effort to give students a more equal chance at the senior honor. Superintendent Lee Childress said the policy revision reflects input received during the last several years. The process recognizes academic achievement, extracurricular activities and school and community service while moving to a scoring rather than a ranking system. Also, eligible candidates for the eight Hall of Fame slots will complete an application detailing their activities. “In the past, there has just been a ranking of the students that are eligible in terms of GPA or the ACT requirements, and then that committee considers it at that point,” said Childress. It was possible that some committee members would not be familiar with the activities of all of the candidates. “As a result of that, what we want to make sure that we do is we want to give students an opportunity where they can then fill out a form in which they can outline this information, and it really will give everybody, in my opinion, a fairer shake,” the superintendent said. “If you know one kid and don’t know the other child, it’s really not a level playing field.” A minimum GPA of 3.0 and ACT score of 18 are required. In other recent business: ■ The board accepted a supplemental Physical Education Program Grant of $15,000 which will go toward establishing a vegetable garden at Corinth Elementary School. Vegetables grown in the garden will be used in the school cafeteria. Childress said the district will have a farmer’s market during the extended year summer camp activities in which people can make a donation or make purchases with the funds going to sustain the garden. ■ New district finance director Please see TRUSTEES | 2A

MRHC officials: no meningitis cases reported in Corinth area BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Officials at Magnolia Regional Health Center want Corinth residents to know there have been no cases of steroid meningitis in the Crossroads area or the state of Mississippi. “Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas so far are among the states that have had no cases so far,” said Dr. Gene Combest, vicepresident of medical affairs at Magnolia hospital. “We’re just lucky in the way they distributed the chemicals.” The state just north of the state line hasn’t fared so well, however. Tennessee has been the hardest hit in the steroid meningitis scare, with fungal infections reported in more than
50 patients. Of the 15 confirmed deaths during the ongoing outbreak, six of the fatalities were in Tennessee. The fungal meningitis has been linked to tainted vials of a steroid medication from the New Enngland Compounding Center Company — which have been recalled by the Centers for Disease Control. Combest said his research leads him to believe the Corinth area may be spared from the outbreak. “I’ve looked at a list of companies, doctors and hospitals that bought the tainted steroids, and none of those are close to us,” he said. Because it is a fungal strain of meningitis and not bacterial, the
symptoms take longer to show up. People injected a month ago could still be at risk, said the docter. To be on the safe side, Combest urged anyone experiencing meningitis symptoms — fever, vomiting, weakness and numbness — to seek treatment immediately. Some patients have even experienced stroke-like symptoms. “If you have symptoms, it’s better to check,” said Combest. The Centers for Disease Control’s website continues to be a valuable resource during the outbreak. The CDC has published a list of all the states and facilities that have received any of the contaminated compound.
looking at making iPad tablet computers available to all students in grades 4 through 12. “We would begin to move away from traditional textbooks to the electronic textbooks where a child would have all of his textbooks loaded” on the tablet, said Superintendent Lee Childress. With electronic portfolios, students would have less paper materials to store. Community resource efforts would include an advanced technology laboratory for students and the community at
the Easom Community Center, as well as establishing wireless Internet points at community sites to increase student access to the Internet in the evening. Other community initiatives would include an adult literacy lab, family mentoring program and one-stop services center. The transformation program would entail a number of additional staff positions.

Using the transformation model, the district proposes to extend the international curriculum to all grade levels, including K-6; immerse students in a high-tech educational experience; extend community partnerships and resources; and establish an international teaching and learning center, which could be housed at one of the vacant elementary school campuses.

Firefighters train for rope rescues BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth firemen were put to the rescue test -- five days worth. Eight firefighters from the city along with a pair from Alcorn County went through a week-long training in rope rescue last week at the training center in Corinth. Robert Parker and Greg Collins -- both retirees from the Mississippi State Fire Academy -- were instructors during the training. “We put them in situations to test them and make them think,” said Collins. “This is something they don't normally do everyday, so it takes practice.” Collins said he and
Parker do about 18 classes of the rope and high angle rescue classes a year. The pair will be on the road the next four weeks teaching firemen around the state. “We give them the tools and it's up to them to use them,” said Collins. The training is an intense learning experience designed to give emergency responders a working knowledge of rope rescue skills. “There are all kinds of high angle rescues,” said Collins. “A deer hunter could be in a tree or a painter on a building who needs rescued.” Training is provided by a Homeland Security grant is no cost to the fire department.
“Basically, it's a 40-hour class,” added Collins. The at-home training is a big help to the Corinth Fire Department, according to fire chief Rob Price. “This is the first time we have hosted something like this,” said Price. “They do it every year at the fire academy, but we can only send two. By having it at our training facility, more guys can be trained and they aren't away from home for a week.” The five-day course covered ropes and knots, repelling, rigging and how to lift patients. “The object is to make sure the patient is rescued safe and receives medical attention as quick as possible,” said Collins.
■ Childress reported that the district is nearly ready to begin construction of the softball complex. ■ The board approved facility rental requests from
the American Cancer Society/Relay for Life for the CHS parking lot and track on May 31 and from First Presbyterian Church for the CMS cafeteria on Nov. 22.

Republicans prepare for People’s Summit BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The Alcorn Republicans’ 3rd Annual People’s Summit will be held Tuesday at Crossroads Arena. “Every year it gets bigger, and this is a major year — the biggest event we’ve ever had,” said Alcorn County Republican Party Chairman Mike Stewart. “This election is the most important election we’ve ever had, and people are coming out of the woodwork getting involved.” The People’s Summit will feature a keynote address from Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, as well as speeches by Brig. Gen. Robert F. Thomas, Sen. Rita Potts Parks and supreme court candidate Josiah Coleman. Elected in 2001 as Mississippi’s lieutenant governor, Reeves led the 52-member senate in the 2012 legislative session with a focus on family values, controlling government spending and reforming education. In 2007 Reeves was named one of 42 national “Rising Stars in the Republican Party” by “Rising Tide” magazine, the publication of the Republican National Committee. In Dec. 2008, he was selected by the Aspen Institute’s Rodel Fellowships in Public Leadership as one of the “Top Young

Help support worthwhile Kitchen Connection program The Easom Outreach Foundation is seeking donations to help it rekindle a community through its feeding program. The Easom Community Center is now in the fifth week of its new Kitchen Connection hot meals program at the former South Corinth campus cafeteria. It’s off to a great start, but could use some financial support from the community, Sam Crayton, Easom Outreach board president, recently told the Daily Corinthian. We are hopeful the community responds to Crayton’s plea to help keep the Kitchen Connection turning out meals. “At the rate we are going right now, we can’t continue this just through the donations in the treasury,” Crayton told the newspaper. “We can run it probably another six to eight months.” Easom is targeting senior citizens with the program, which offers meals weekdays between 4 and 5:30 p.m. for takeout. A number of the early participants came from the waiting list of individuals for the meals program at the Bishop Center. The center is seeing an average of 35 meal recipients each day. Dishes such as spaghetti, baked fish and rotel chicken are served with two vegetables, bread, dessert and a drink. The program asks someone come to the center to pick up the meal for participating individuals. Lack of the required equipment keeps volunteers from making a meal delivery. The center plans to again serve as a site for the summer feeding program for youth next year and is in talks with the Lighthouse Foundation to host its evening tutoring in the building. Easom Outreach has applied for its own not-for-profit status. We applaud Crayton and all of the Eason Outreach volunteers for their efforts to feed the elderly. We hope the program continues and will be just one of the many examples of good community service work going on at the former school now proudly called the Eason Community Center. Daily Corinthian (For inquiries about getting involved in the hot meals program, contact Crayton at 404-386-3359. Donations may be mailed to Easom Outreach Foundation, P.O. Box 1293, Corinth, MS 38835. Designate “food account” on contributions to the meals program.)

Without Pre-K education, dropout epidemic will continue STARKVILLE — Back in 2007, I wrote extensively about how Mississippi was attempting to deal with what was then called an “epidemic” dropout problem in Mississippi public education. The 2006 Mississippi Legislature created the state Office of Dropout Prevention. Legislators also called on the state’s schools to increase their graduation rate to 85 percent by 2019. The legislation was a bipartisan expression of utter frustration over the lack of educational attainment and the scourge of the dropout problem in state where lawmakers were directing an overwhelming percentage of the state’s general fund budget to K-12 public education. The 2006 law also required each school district to implement a dropout prevention program by the 2008-2009 school year for the state office to approve.
The proposal set the following formal goals: ■ Increase the state’s g r a d u a Sid Salter tion rate grades Columnist for 9 through 12 from 61.1 percent to 85 percent by the 2018-19 school year. ■ Reduce the state’s dropout rate from 26.6 percent to 13 percent by the 2012-13 school year. ■ Reduce the state’s truancy rate of 31.8 percent to 16 percent by the 2012-13 school year. The high rate of high school dropouts in Mississippi, with some school districts exceeding a 45 percent dropout rate, erodes the state’s economy. The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems found that for every 100 students in the 9th grade in 1992 in
Mississippi, only 59 graduated from high school and only 13 graduated from college. A 2005 study by the Southern Education Foundation found that each Mississippian had $9,570 less annual income than the average American and that 53 percent of the difference in per-capita income between Mississippi and the nation is due “solely to the state’s lower levels of education.” Did the legislative initiative work? The answer is a mixed bag. Educational advocates have challenged state reporting of high school graduation rates compared with federal or independent numbers. Has progress been made? Yes. The state’s dropout rate that was 26.6 percent in 2006 was down to 17 percent by 2010, according to the State Department of Education. In 2009, the rate dropped as low as 16.8 percent.
The Alliance for Excellent Education projects that failure to finish high school is costing Mississippi young people $1.6 billion in lost lifetime earnings. Moreover, the cost to the state’s economy is likewise projected to be staggering. Failure to finish high school by these Mississippi impairs $100 million in home sales, $8 million in auto sales, 500 new jobs, and $5.2 million in increased state tax revenue. Dropout prevention was a worthy legislative investment back in 2007. The problem remains a worthy legislative investment today and it’s one of the reasons that dramatic educational changes like charter schools and other innovations are gaining traction with the taxpayers.

Joltin’ Joe Biden wins the bout BY ROGER SIMON DANVILLE, Ky. — Whatever Joe Biden was drinking Thursday night, Barack Obama ought to order a case of it. Biden took on Paul Ryan in the one and only vice presidential debate and did what Obama had failed to do last week in his debate with Mitt Romney: Biden not only won over the audience, but got under his opponent’s skin. Biden smirked, sneered and openly laughed at many of Ryan’s responses. It could have looked rude, but Biden made it look tough. After all, Biden was the 69-year-old defender, and Ryan was the 42-year-old challenger. But by the end of the evening, Joltin’ Joe had done real damage to his opponent. In fact, as the 90 minutes flew by — it was the rare debate where one actually wanted it to go longer — Ryan began looking younger and younger. And not in a good way. Both men have been in politics most of their adult lives, but Biden’s adult life has been longer. Biden was in the Senate so long, he knows a dozen ways of ob-

serving outward forms of politeness, while sticking a knife in your ribs and twisting it. “With all due respect, that is a bunch of malarkey,” Biden said to Ryan at one point. And how much respect is a bunch of malarkey due? “This is a bunch of stuff,” Biden said of Ryan’s remarks at another point, leaving no doubt what word he meant instead of stuff. “Romney said, ‘Aw, let Detroit go bankrupt,’” Biden said. “My friends and neighbors pay more than Gov. Romney in federal income tax! I’ve had it up to here!” Ryan tried to dodge this right jab, but walked into a left hook instead. And it was of his own making. “He talks about Detroit?” Ryan said. “Mitt Romney is a car guy!” Biden sat a few feet away from Ryan at the debate table and openly laughed in his face at this. And one got the impression that Paul Ryan did not like to be laughed at. But did Biden care? He did not. It was a very good evening for Biden, and he must have enjoyed the deliciousness of
it: Barack Obama had easily knocked Biden out of the Democratic primaries four years ago, but here was Joe coming to Barack’s rescue now. And instead of the score being Team Obama 0-2, it is now Team Obama 1-1. Ryan was not knocked out. He had a few memorized zingers at his disposal. As to Romney’s now infamous “47 percent” statement, Ryan said, “Sometimes, as the vice president well knows, the words don’t always come out of your mouth the right way.” The audience laughed at the reference to Biden’s past gaffes, but Biden didn’t make any gaffes Thursday night. Instead, he not only stood his ground but advanced relentlessly on his opponent. “Where did the recession come from?” Biden asked. “It came from this man’s voting!” And he stabbed his forefinger at Ryan like a dagger. “Their ideas are old, and their ideas are bad!” Moderator Martha Raddatz did an admirable job of keeping the debate moving, even if she could not keep Biden from interrupting

Ryan. Biden would interrupt the Devil himself, and one got the impression that Biden sometimes thought Ryan was the Devil himself. Biden painted Ryan as a hypocrite by attacking the stimulus now, while begging for stimulus money in the past. “He sent me two letters saying, by the way, ‘Can you send me stimulus money?’” Biden said. “‘It will create growth and jobs.’ Those are his words. And now, he’s sitting here looking at me?” Ryan could only say weakly that, as a member of Congress, “that’s what we do.” That’s what we do? Oh, my. That will never do. “What would my friend do differently?” Biden said at one point. “My friend says 47 percent of people are takers.” And by the end of the debate, Ryan had learned one thing: The only thing worse than being Joe Biden’s enemy is being called his friend.

State Briefs Associated Press
Mental exam sought for threat suspect OXFORD — Federal prosecutors and defense attorneys want a mental evaluation for a 19-yearold man charged with making online threats to attack Oxford High School. Joshua Brandon Pillault of Oxford was arrested Monday. Prosecutors say in court documents that Pillault made threats against the school in a chat room conversation while playing an online game. The threats were reported by a fellow player in Virginia. The Commercial Appeal reports that prosecutors wanted Pillault moved to a Bureau of Prisons facility for an examination.
On Friday, Pillault’s attorney filed a response agreeing to an examination, but asking for the examination to take place locally. They said moving Pillault from Oxford to a Bureau of Prisons facility could take months, denying him his right to a speedy trial.
Veterans Tribute Tower dedicated GAUTIER — A 35-foottall clock tower erected as a tribute to Mississippi’s veterans has been formally dedicated in the town of Gautier. Gov. Phil Bryant was among those attending Friday’s ceremony. The tower is in front of Gautier’s city hall. In addition to the clock, it holds a new bell that weighs 250 pounds.
Ceremonies actually began Thursday morning with what was called an “ingot brigade,” during which veterans dropped bronze pieces into a furnace. Those pieces were molded into the bell that became part of the tower.
Ex-teacher pleads guilty in sex case PASCAGOULA — A former high school teacher and coach from St. Martin High in Ocean Springs has pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery from 2009. The SunHerald reports that 42-year-old Robert Frank Griffin of Ocean Springs told Circuit Court Judge Kathy Jackson on Friday that he had sex with a female student who was 16 at the time.
He faces five years in prison. But at his hearing Friday, he asked that he be allowed to defer sentencing to give him time to prepare his family. He said he needed to explain to his 8-year-old daughter why he will be gone. Jackson set sentencing for Nov. 9, and said Griffin could remain out as long as the company that holds his $60,000 bond agrees to the arrangement.
Cruisin’ the Coast registers 6,000 cars GULFPORT — An annual celebration of classic cars and hot rods on the Mississippi Gulf Coast has reached a milestone with more than 6,000 cars registered to take part. The 16th annual
“Cruisin’ the Coast” event began, which wraps up today, surpassed 6,000 on Friday and participants were still registering cars Saturday. Event organizers say one reason Cruisin’ the Coast is gaining popularity is that participants actually get to cruise around which isn’t the case at many other car shows around the nation. “A lot of events you go with a car show, you dress your car, you register, you have a place where you set up, and you park,” Lisa Burnett, Cruisin’ the Coast registration director, told WLOX television. Ellis and Joyce Martin of Plaquemine, La., were at the center of the celebration Friday when they registered their 1964 Ford Mustang and found out
that it was the 6,000th car registered.
Commander guided by quiet nature COLUMBUS — For Col. Jim Sears, the quiet style of leadership is the most rewarding. Sears, the new wing commander of the 14th Flying Training Wing at Columbus Air Force Base, points to Gen. Colin Powell, Robert Olds, George Washington and Steve Jobs as his role models. The Commercial Dispatch reports Sears took over wing command in June from Col. Barre Seguin. He says he places a high emphasis on integrity, service and excellence in working with staff and flight cadets at the base.

CDC: Meningitis outbreak growing WASHINGTON — Federal health officials have tracked down 12,000 of the roughly 14,000 people who may have received contaminated steroid shots in the nation’s growing meningitis outbreak, warning that patients will need to keep watch for symptoms of the deadly infection for months. “We know that we are not out of the woods yet,” Dr. J. Todd Weber of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said as the death toll reached 15. Of the 190 people sickened in the outbreak, all but one have a rare fungal form of meningitis after receiving suspect steroid shots for back pain, the CDC said. The other case is an ankle infection discovered in Michigan; steroid shots also can be given to treat aching knees, shoulders or other joints. Fungus has been found in at least 50 vials of an injectable steroid medication made at a specialty compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts, investigators said. Health authorities haven’t yet said how they think the medication was contaminated, but they have ruled out other suspects — other products used in administering the shots — and the focus continues to be on that pharmacy, the New England Compounding Center.
Large eyeball washes up on beach
Iranian hackers responsible for attacks
eyeball found by a man Wednesday at Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale. They put the eyeball on ice so it can be analyzed at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.
WASHINGTON — U.S. authorities believe that Iranian-based hackers were responsible for cyberattacks that devastated Persian Gulf oil and gas companies, a former U.S. government official said. Just hours later, Defense Secretary Leon
Associated Press
MIAMI — It’s not that body parts never wash ashore on Florida beaches. But usually it’s not an eye the size of a softball. State wildlife officials are trying to determine the species of a blue
Agency spokeswoman Carli Segelson says the eyeball likely came from a marine animal, since it was found on a beach. Possible candidates include a giant squid, a whale or some type of large fish.

Crossroads
Panetta said the cyberthreat from Iran has grown, and he declared that the Pentagon is prepared to take action if American is threatened by a computer-based assault. The former official, who is familiar with the investigation, said U.S. authorities believe the cyberattacks were likely supported by the Tehran government and came in retaliation for the latest round of American sanctions against Iran. Before Panetta’s remarks on Thursday, U.S. officials had said nothing publicly about the Gulf attacks or the investigation. But Panetta described them in a speech to business leaders in New York City, saying they were probably the most destructive cyber assault the private sector has seen to date. Panetta did not directly link Iran to the Gulf attacks, but he said Tehran has “undertaken a concerted effort to use cyberspace to its advantage.” And, he said the Pentagon has poured billions into beefing up its ability to identify the origin of a cyberattacks, block them and respond when needed. “Potential aggressors should be aware that the United States has the capacity to locate them and hold them accountable for actions that harm America or its interests,” said Panetta in a speech to the Business Executives for National Security.
Mailing a letter to cost a penny more WASHINGTON — It’ll cost another penny to mail a letter next year. The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service said Thursday that it will raise postage rates on Jan.
27, including a 1-cent increase in the cost of first-class mail to 46 cents. It also will introduce a new global “forever” stamp, allowing customers to mail first-class letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10. Currently, the prices vary depending on the international destination, with letters to Canada and Mexico costing 85 cents. Under the law, the post office cannot raise stamp prices more than the rate of inflation, or 2.6 percent, unless it gets special permission. The post office, which expects to lose a record $15 billion this year, has asked Congress to give it new authority to raise prices by 5 cents, but lawmakers have failed to act. The mail agency also will increase rates on its shipping services, such as priority mail, by an average of 4 percent. The post office, which is struggling with debt and low cash flow, said the rate hikes were partly aimed at bringing in new revenue while maintaining its pricing advantage in the shipping business. Private companies such as UPS and FedEx, which offer similar shipping services, regularly adjust their prices. The post office lost $5.1 billion in fiscal 2011, mostly due to a 5.8 percent decline in revenue for first-class mail. Financial results are expected to be even worse when final figures for fiscal 2012 are released next month. Earlier this year, it was forced to default on two payments due to the Treasury totaling $11.1 billion for future retiree health benefits because it lacked sufficient cash reserves.

OXFORD — Corinth resident Megan Smith is using a touch of magic on her college campus to help make a difference for people with Parkinson’s disease. She is hosting a “Quidditch for Parkinson’s� tournament to benefit the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) on Saturday, October 20 at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in Oxford. Ms. Smith is a sophomore at Ole Miss studying biology. After completing a high school research project on Parkinson’s disease, she was inspired to study the science in college with her eye on pursuing a career in the research field. Passionate about the Parkinson’s cause, she is organizing a creative fundraiser inspired by the popular “Harry Potter� novels written by J.K. Rowling. As she notes, there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s, nor are
there medications that can stop it from progressing. Working with the PDF Champions program, the grassroots fundraising arm of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, she hopes the event will raise funds for research. The Quidditch tournament will be a modified version of the game played by wizards in the “Harry Potter� novels. Teams of seven players will “ride� broomsticks and try to score points by throwing a ball into the elevated ring-shaped goals on the Ole Miss intramural fields. Registration to play in the tournament costs $5 or $3 to watch the games, with proceeds benefitting PDF. Ms. Smith remarks on her motivation for the event, “I wanted to do something different and fun to get students aware of Parkinson’s disease. Why should I wait until I get my doctorate of philosophy to help make
a difference? I can do something right now to help find a cure for Parkinson’s disease by raising funds for research.� PDF Executive Director Robin Elliott said, “We are grateful for PDF Champions like Ms. Smith who are dedicated to funding the most promising research and raising awareness about the impact of Parkinson’s. Her efforts to help PDF improve the lives and futures of the nearly one million people across the country living with Parkinson’s are inspiring.� To support Ms. Smith’s fundraising efforts, visit her personal donation page at http://support. pdf.org/quidditchforparkinsons or for more information contact PDF at (800) 457-6676, info@ pdf.org or www.pdf.org.
About Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological
disorder that affects nearly one million people in the US. Although promising research is being conducted, there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s.
About the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) is a leading national presence in Parkinson’s disease research, education and public advocacy. They are working for the nearly one million people in the U.S. who live with Parkinson’s by funding promising scientific research while supporting people living with Parkinson’s through educational programs and services. Since its founding in 1957, PDF has dedicated over $96 million to fund the work of leading scientists throughout the world and over $40 million to support national education and advocacy programs.

CHS headed to North Half BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
The Lady Warriors keep on fighting. Corinth claimed a 3-1 over Caledonia on Saturday to advance to the North Half championship in Class 1 play. The team dropped the first set to the Lady Confederates, which Head Coach Keith Haney attributed to an asthma attack for one of the Corinth starters. “We had to call two back to back time outs so that she could get some relief,” Haney said, “Doing that cost us some momentum and, I think, the set.” The Warriors wouldn’t be out yet -organizing a comeback in the second set from the play of the four seniors. Annalee Hendrick, one of the captains for the team, served for 14 of the Warriors points in the second set which Corinth won 25-8. “I am so proud of them. Their defensive efforts really paid off to get us the win,” said Haney. Corinth took a 25-13 win in the third set before claiming the fourth for a 3-1 win in the best-of-5 setup. “I could tell from the second set, I never doubted with their playing, that we wouldn’t win. They did everything they had to do.” The Warriors next challenge in playoffs arrives on Tuesday when they travel to face defending Class 1 champion Lewisburg. Game time will be announced later.

Lady Warriors return to North title BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
ECRU — Corinth came out flat in Game One of its best-ofthree series with North Pontotoc. As flat as the tire that blew out on their yellow dog en route to Pontotoc County. The Lady Warriors recovered from a 7-3 setback to win the Class 4A quarterfinal match with decisive 9-2 and 15-0 wins over the Lady Vikings. The defending North Half champions, who improved to 24-7, will travel to Houston on Tuesday with a berth in the State Championship on the line. The Lady Hilltoppers took a 2-1 win over New Albany on Saturday. The team found itself
stranded on the on ramp to Hwy. 30 following a blowout. Another bus was dispatched, but the series started about 45 minutes after its scheduled 4:30 p.m. start. North Pontotoc rallied from a 3-1 deficit to claim a 7-3 decision in the opener. Corinth committed five errors in the game and managed just three hits. “We came out flat, made errors and they capitalized,” said Corinth Head Coach Janna LaBarreare. “I was hoping (the blowout) wasn’t going to be an indication of how the day was going to go.” Corinth broke open a tie in Game Two with a four-run third. The Lady Warriors got 11 hits over six innings, while the Lady Vikings managed just
five. Stennett Smith tied the game at 1-1 with a solo homer in the first. Rebekah Williams drove in two with a double in the third and Bailee Kramer added a run-scoring hit for a 5-1 lead. After North cut it to 6-2 after five and a half, Corinth hung a three-spot, highlighted by Portia Patterson’s two-run double. Kramer led an 11-hit attack with three knocks. Smith and Williams chipped in two each. “We got the momentum in the second game and it carried over,” said LaBarreare. “They played with a lot of fire, and that’s when they are at their best.” Batting first in the rubber game, Corinth put the game
away early with a five spot. Ten batters came to the plate, with six reaching via hit. Williams had a three-run homer in the second to push the count to 8-0. Kramer had a bases-loaded double in a four-run fourth as the lead ballooned to 12-0. Corinth tacked on three more in the fifth to end the game early via the mercy rule. Jamia Kirk, Smith, Williams and Colby Cox had three hits each in a 19-hit attack. Five of the 19 knocks were for extra bases. Elizabeth Williams (24-7) garnered the decision in all three games. After allowing seven runs on nine hits in Game One, she limited the Please see WARRIORS | 9A
South Pontotoc sweeps Kossuth BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
KOSSUTH — A five-inning stretch proved deadly for the Kossuth Lady Aggies. South Pontotoc scored 19 straight runs and Kossuth went 0-for-17 at the dish over the final three innings of Game One and the first two frames of Game Two as the Lady Cougars swept the Lady Aggies in the second round of the Class 3A Slow-Pitch Softball Playoffs. South Pontotoc (21-11) tallied nine runs in the fifth en route to a 14-6 win in the opener. The Division 3 champions jumped out to an early lead in the finale and held on for a 5-4 win. The Lady Cougars will face defending champion Nettleton on Tuesday in the North Half championship series. Nettleton swept Division 1 champion Booneville by scores of 11-1 and 13-1 on Saturday. Kossuth ended its season at 16-13. “South Pontotoc played well, but we had our opportunities,” said Kossuth Head Coach Steve Lyles. The Lady Aggies came into the second-round series with 71 homers in 27 games. Despite the prime conditions for long balls, the visitors out-homered the host club 2-1. “Home runs are our game ... we live by it and die by it,” said Lyles. “We don’t run well so it’s hard for us to string enough hits together consistently to score. “We couldn’t have asked for better conditions with the wind blowing out. There was a wind tunnel to right center, but we have no excuses because we kept trying to pull it.” After scoring all 14 runs of its in the opener over the final three innings, South Pontotoc did all its damage in Game Two in its first to at-bats. A base-loaded single off the wall by Lacey Higgins in the first staked the Lady Cougars to a 1-0 lead. Three of the first four batters in the second reached, setting the stage for Breanna Kitchens’ grand slam to center that nicked, then cleared the wall 220 feet from the plate. Kossuth ended an 0-for-17 drought, which included the last 10 batters of Game One, on Madison Switcher’s one-out single in the third. Abie Trim put Kossuth on the board with a fielder’s choice grounder to second. The Lady Aggies continued to swing the bat well in the fourth. Kristen Devers followed Paden Tomlin’s lead-off double with a two-run blast to center. Singles by Carleigh Mills and Madison Hales -- sandwiched around a fielding error -- led to Switcher’s RBI fielder’s choice. South Pontotoc was held scoreless on three hits the rest of the way. The Lady Aggies recorded consecutive two-out hits in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings but never got the potential tying run past second. “We had the people we wanted at the plate,” said Lyles. A nice backtracking snag by third baseman Shelby Luther took away a hit from Please see KOSSUTH | 9A

Mississippi defensive tackle Uriah Grant (93) and the rest of the team celebrate after their 41-20 win over Auburn in Oxford, Miss., on Saturday.
Bo knows! Rebels end SEC losing skid Associated Press
OXFORD — It was hard to tell whether Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze was more excited or relieved. But he took a moment to confirm the results on the scoreboard before heading to the locker room. Ole Miss snapped a 16-game Southeastern Conference losing streak Saturday with a 4120 win over Auburn. The win pushed the surprising Rebels (4-3, 1-2) within two games of bowl eligibility and stopped the SEC streak that began in October, 2010 after a 42-35 home win over Kentucky. “It’s hard to explain. I’m so
excited about seeing our fans and our players have some happiness after the last two and a half years,” Freeze said. “They’ve been through some tough times around here and I just could not be happier for them.” Bo Wallace was the decisive factor as the junior college transfer quarterback scored four touchdowns rushing, passing and receiving. He accounted for 290 of the 451 total offense yards, including 17 of 22 for 226 passing yards, but most importantly to Freeze, no turnovers. “No turnovers. Bo protected the ball and no turnovers,”
Freeze said. “We felt like we could move it and be effective. Bo made the plays and was efficient. Our defense was great in the second half.” Wallace caught a 25-yard scoring pass on a throwback from running back Randall Mackey, scored on runs of 1 and 2 yards, respectively, and delivered the game clincher, a 55-yard scoring pass to Jeff Scott with 5:02 left The performance was especially satisfying for Wallace, who had a pair of crucial turnovers in the previous week’s loss to Texas A&M. The Rebels had a 10-point lead with seven
minutes remaining before the Aggies rallied for a 30-27 win. “It was disappointing last week and I take the blame, but the coaches kept emphasizing all week we played Auburn and forget it,” Wallace said. “I tell you, it’s a special feeling in that locker room today and a couple of more like this will get us bowl eligible.” Auburn (1-5, 0-4) has lost six consecutive SEC games and been outscored 62-3 in the final quarter. Three of Auburn’s four SEC losses - Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ole Miss - have been by a combined 56 points.
Mississippi State defeats Tennessee, 41-31 BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Tyler Russell threw for 291 yards and two touchdowns, LaDarius Perkins added 101 rushing yards and a touchdown and No. 19 Mississippi State beat Tennessee 41-31 on Saturday night. Mississippi State (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) continues its best start since 1999. The Bulldogs led 27-14 at halftime, but the Volunteers rallied to cut the margin to 34-31 by midway through the fourth quarter. Russell sealed the victory with a 9-yard pass to Mal-
colm Johnson with nine seconds remaining. The junior quarterback completed 23 of 37 passes and set career highs in completions, attempts and passing yards. Tennessee’s Tyler Bray completed 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Tennessee lost for the first time in the series since 1994, snapping a six-game winning streak. Tennessee’s Cordarrelle Patterson had a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Vandy has chances in loss to No. 4 Florida Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Zac Stacy broke through the line on a wildcat play, sprinting 57 yards for a touchdown putting Vanderbilt back on top of fourth-ranked Florida. Too bad a flag for holding wiped it off the board and ended the celebration.
Mistakes, ill-timed penalties and too many big plays cost Vanderbilt as the Commodores lost 31-17 to fourthranked Florida on Saturday night. “You can’t make those type mistakes against the No. (4) team in the country in your stadium,” Vanderbilt coach
James Franklin said. “That can’t happen, and those areas where on offense we got to make plays when we have opportunities to make plays. We had opportunities to make plays and didn’t do it. Too many dropped balls in critical situations.”
The Commodores (2-4, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) lost their 22nd straight to Florida (6-0, 5-0) and haven’t beaten the Gators since 1988 in Nashville. Trailing 11-7, the Commodores came out of halftime Please see VANDY | 9A

Switcher in the sixth. Hannah Sides and Stewart kept Kossuth’s hopes alive in the seventh before Tomlin flew out to left-center to end the game. Both clubs finished with 13 hits in the finale. South’s C.C. Costilow got the win and aided her own cause with three singles. Stewart, Tomlin and Hales had two each for Kossuth. In Game One, Kossuth scored three runs in the first, highlighted by run-scoring singles by Tomlin and Brooks. An RBI-double by Tomlin and a run-scoring single by Devers in the second doubled the lead to 6-0. South Pontotoc exploded for nine runs in the fifth and
added three in the sixth and two more in the seventh. The Lady Cougars banged out nine hits in the big inning and also took advantage of three Kossuth errors. “That’s the way we’ve played all year,” said Lyles. “I’d be scared to figure out how many errors we’ve committed.” Kossuth had 11 hits in the opener, but none after Abbie Clausel’s oneout single in the fourth. Costilow set down the last 10 Lady Aggie batters of the game and opened the finale with seven up, seven down. Kitchens had a gamehigh three hits four the Lady Cougars en route to a 5-for-7 series.

Fire Prevention Week focuses on preparedness BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry and the Department of Commerce and Insurance’s Division of Fire Prevention are observing National Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 7-13), by reminding homeowners to follow simple safety practices to prevent forest fires. The official start of forest fire season in Tennessee is Oct. 15. “Burning vegetative material that has accu-
mulated around the yard or using fire to clear an old field can be an efficient way to get rid of debris,” said John Kirksey, Fire Chief for the Division of Forestry. “However, this activity needs to be done safely. The division’s burn permitting system focuses attention on the safe use of fire for debris burning.” Activities requiring a burning permit include unconfined outdoor burning of brush and leaves, untreated wood waste and burning to
clear land. Burning permits are free of charge. Citizens can apply for burning permits online or by calling their local Division of Forestry office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Forestry offices are listed in your local phone directory under state government, or can be found by visiting www.burnsafetn. org. The website also includes tips for safe debris burning and provides access to the online permitting system. Permit hold-
ers should also check for other restrictions in their locale. “It only takes a couple of minutes to get a burn permit, whether one is obtained by calling in or online” said Kirksey. “Either way it’s important for citizens to know when, where and how it’s safe to conduct a debris burn, and the burn permitting system is our way of getting that information to them.” Homeowners living in forestry communities can take steps to protect
themselves and their property. Keeping gutters and rooftops free of debris, maintaining at least two to five feet of none flammable material next to the foundation of the home and clearing away flammable brush at least 30 feet from the house are just a few simple examples of what homeowners can do. Wildfires are occasionally started by out of control house fires. The state Fire Marshal’s Office is warning citizens to also be aware of fire hazards

Corinth Elementary School Kindergarten students recently looked as if they had just rolled out of bed and come to school — well, sort of. The students had been studying the letter “P” all week at school and culminated the week of learning by wearing their pajamas to school. Some of the classes also added another “P” word during the day and did a pirate study during the day.
UM, MSU continue partnership BY CHRIS KIEFFER Associated Press
TUPELO — Mississippi’s two big rival universities are working together more closely today than they have in recent memory, leaders said. Their collaboration began two and a half years ago when the heads of the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University announced their institutions would join forces on a task force dedicated to improving Northeast Mississippi. “We have fun with the rivalry, but there is great mutual respect between university leaders and a
willingness to work together,” said Kyle Steward, executive director of external affairs at MSU. “I don’t think there is any question this partnership enhanced those relationships. There is a stronger sense of cooperation between us.” That task force of about 20 leaders and deans from both schools formally met four times in 2010 and 2011. Although they have not met as a full unit since then, representatives from the two universities have continued to have various meetings and to work together on projects. Results of their
collaboration have become evident. “The doors are open wider than ever for cooperation between the two,” said Andy Mullins, chief of staff to the chancellor at the University of Mississippi. MSU President Mark Keenum and Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones have spoken about the importance of working together when they were installed into their current positions. They were given that opportunity when the CREATE Foundation convened the task force. Several benefits to the region have followed.

The story of Charles Watkins, 52nd Illinois Infantry BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
One never knows who is going to come through the doors here at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. The best part of my job is all of the folks I get to talk to and they come from everywhere. I’ve chatted with folks from all 50 states and several dozen countries. The best is when they are walking in the footsteps of a soldier-ancestor who paid a visit to Corinth during the Civil War. Back in the spring of 2007, a couple from Oregon came through the doors looking for information on their ancestor from the 52nd Illinois Infantry. He had spent plenty of time in Corinth, and best of all, he wrote a lot of letters that they generously shared with the park. The soldier’s name was Charles Watkins and he was born in Fredonia, N.Y., a tiny little village on the shores of Lake Erie. When he was 9 the family pulled up roots for Rockford, Illinois and it was there that the 26 year-old Charles enlisted in Company E of the 52nd Ill. He saw some heavy fighting at Shiloh and was present for duty during the Siege of Corinth. He made it through both without a scratch. Charles was really in the thick of it during the Battle of Corinth. His regiment started the day in the old Confederate earthworks of the Beauregard Line and was steadily pushed back through the morning of October 3rd. In the afternoon, they made a stand in the White House fields. On the following day, he was in the middle of the fighting around Battery Powell, not far from the First Baptist Church. As fascinating as the letters are, it wasn’t his accounts of the battle that caught my interest -- it was the pages he wrote to his dear wife Libbie about his day to day life in camp. We have dozens upon dozens of eyewitness accounts of the battle, not to mention all of the official reports written by the senior officers. What we have less of are the stories of occupied Corinth by the soldiers
The 52nd Illinois built comfortable barracks at Camp Montgomery. who remained in town after the battle. The Battle of Corinth lasted two days, but the 52nd Illinois stayed for 15 months. Charles wrote about a great many events that went largely unnoticed by the rest of the world. Do you remember my article about the soldier of the 1st Alabama Cavalry who was executed for deserting to the enemy? It was Private Watkins who provided me with many of the details of that grisly affair. Charles may have realized the letter about the execution may have been a bit depressing so the next day he lightened things up and told Libbie how he had “been-ablack-berrying-today,” with seven of his comrades. They set out to a likely spot not far from Camp Montgomery and it didn’t take long to pick a “Patent Pail full and some five quarts besides.” I myself love to pick blackberries (I’m not telling you where) and Charles’ day sounds like many I have spent getting scratched in pursuit of those luscious little pieces of fruit. But his experience was much different than mine. He and his pals took their rifles with them as the expedition passed beyond their picket lines and into en-

Where was this enemy territory? Somewhere in the vicinity of today’s Wal-mart Supercenter. Some of the men stood guard while the others picked berries. “I never saw them so thick or so large as they are here,” he wrote about the blackberries. The treasures were brought back to camp where Charles took the time to write his “Dearest one,” and wished he could send some to her. He wasn’t exactly sure what they would do with all of those berries, “we shall either preserve them or make them up into wine [but] we don’t know how to do either.” He supposed they would have to get some woman to show them how. After some deep thought, the soldiers decided to preserve them and were at the task when the wife of Lt. George Robinson happened by and showed them the proper way to preserve a blackberry. Charles and
crew were proud of the results and announced they were “A - No. 1.” The berry crew put up 14 pounds of preserves and decided to share their bounty with the leaders of the regiment. “We gave some to the Major and some to the Colonel, and well, it’s no use in talking, it was the best they had ever seen.” The blackberrying expedition was a peaceful interlude for a regiment that would soon be cast back into the violence of war. Before his own war was over, Charles would be in the middle of the battles around Atlanta and later march with Sherman to the sea. At the end of the conflict, he came home to Illinois and his dear Libbie and together they raised eight children. He was active in the veteran groups of the day and served as commander of his local post of the Grand Army of the Republic. Charles finally went to his maker in his 88th year. It’s a good thing Charles made it through the war

Church honors doctor’s 50th medical anniversary (Originally printed in the Tishomingo County Vidette, Thursday, Jan. 28, 1965.) Special Service Will Honor Belmont Doctor Dr. C. Cromeans will celebrate 50th Medical Anniversary Sunday An important day in the life of Dr. Claude C. Cromeans of Belmont will be marked this Sunday as he celebrates his 50th medical anniversary. Friends and relatives of the dearly beloved doctor are invited to attend a special service in his honor which will be held at 2 p.m. at the Belmont First Baptist Church. Dr. Cromeans’ medical career dates back to June 16, 1914, when he received his degree in medicine from the University of Tennessee. In the 50 years of his medical practice, he has set an unusual record in that he has been away from his work only three months, this being due to a broken back. Even during this time, he dispensed many patients from his home and with the aid of a brace, then returned to his office. Dr. Cromeans, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John
Young Cromeans, was born October 25, 1888, at Cliff, Miss., a small RaNae settlement Vaughn located 12 miles north Historically Speaking of Fulton in Itawamba County, Miss. As a youth, he attended Pine Forest Grammar School and was also enrolled at Fairview School for three years, where his teacher was Sam Mayhall. It has been said, often times, that many professional men and women have come from Mr. Mayhall’s classroom. Following graduation, Dr. Cromeans taught school one year in North Itawamba Schools before entering the then Memphis Hospital College, which became known as the University of Tennessee a few years later. After receiving his degree, Dr. Cromeans returned to his birthplace, where he married Eva Graham in October 1914. To this union were born five lovely children: three sons, Battle Malone Cro-
means, Belmont, Miss.; John William Cromeans, Belmont, Miss.; Dr. Joe Graham Cromeans of Scottsboro, Ala.; and two daughters: Mrs. Wm. H. Wilson of Falls Church, Va.; and Mrs. J. A. Shaw, Jr., of Webb. Miss. Until her death on November 1, 1950, Mrs. Cromeans was his faithful wife and companion, sharing the sometimes hard lot of a doctor’s life, taking calls 24 hours a day, trying to keep the meals warm for that extra hour or two until the doctor could come home, worrying when he was out in a horse and buggy, riding a horse and later automobiles; and wondering if he made it through the swollen stream, muddy ditches, or snow banks in the winter. At the same time, she also tried to be pleasant on the phone while doing the housework and caring for the children, even though at times she was disappointed at the last moment because of a canceled trip due to calls the doctor had to make. It was also her duty to find time to perform civic services and engage in church activities.
From 1914 to 1920, Dr. Cromeans practiced at the old homeplace, making his first rounds on horseback and buggy; but later, in 1916, he purchased his first Model T which he used when the roads would permit. In the year 1920, he moved his family to Dennis, where he practiced five years, still keeping a pair of horses for occasions when the roads were impassable in a car. In 1925, he moved to Belmont where he has practiced medicine ever since. During his long practice, Dr. Cromeans has certainly experienced a great deal of modernistic progress. Many things have come about, including new drugs, the day of the specialist with all of the clinical tests to aid him, modern transportation, etc.; however, one fact remains true—the family physician is still man’s best weapon on the fight against disease. Although having no exact count, Dr. Cromeans estimates he has delivered in excess of 4,000 babies in homes throughout the surrounding area. He notes that the first fee
charged for this service was $5.00 plus a night’s lodging. This fee remained in effect the first 10 or 11 years of his practice. Dr. Cromeans recalls that during the big depression, payment for his services was often made in sorghum molasses, pork, and corn since most everyone farmed and much depended on the success of their crop. Income in the area was much smaller then and setting up time for the farmer was at harvest time in the fall. If they made a good crop, the doctor sometimes got paid; but if there was a crop failure, they waited until the next year to pay the doctor. Being a jolly type of person, Dr. Cromeans always tried to have a laugh or a joke on every occasion. He still remembers spending the night at the home of a man whose wife was expecting and upon going to the table the next morning and finding the entire meal, consisting of lard gravy and biscuits, making this remark; “I expected a better breakfast, you have had nine months to get ready for my visit.”
Notwithstanding the many ups and downs of his practice, Dr. Cromeans says he has enjoyed working all these 50 years and wishes he could be blessed with 50 more years of service. Although his medical practice has taken a great deal of his time, Dr. Cromeans still finds time to attend services at the First Baptist Church, is a member of the Masonic Lodge, and enjoys fishing. (It is interesting to note that the cost of the Vidette at this time was 10 cents. A photograph of Dr. Cromeans appeared with this document; however, it could not be clearly reproduced for this reprint. The Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society is seeking a photograph of Dr. Cromeans for its archives. Please mail it to TCHGS, P.O.

Sometimes I think the wives of preachers don't step back and take a good look at the blessing the Lord has put in their lives. Although, not perfect, we watch them day after day strive to do the best they can. Though not always patient, we watch them kneel and pray with the sick and dying as tears stream down their face. We forget that their lives are filled with the same strifes as everyone else. They endure heartache, disappointment, sickness, Gerald Hadley, SR - grief and etc. I am proud to have as my husband Gerald Hadley, Sr the pastor at Harper Road Evangelist Christian Church.

Anglers make good use of home-field advantage Knowing the territory like the back of your hand and the tendencies of the game being sought according to the time of the season enables sportsmen to get a leg up on the competition and reach a high level of success. While fishing the Walmart Bass Fishing League Mississippi Division super tournament held on Sept. 29-30 at Pickwick Lake near Iuka, three local anglers proved through their performance the significance of having home-field advantage. Jason Lambert of Pickwick Dam, Tenn., laid claim to the championship in the pro division by weighing a two-day total of 10 bass totaling an even 30 pounds. Lam-
bert earned $6,761 for the first place finish. T h e h o m e David lake vicGreen tory turned out to be Outdoors double the pleasure for Jason.”It feels good to win this tournament again,” said Lambert, who won the 2011 Walmart BFL Mississippi division super tournament on Pickwick Lake as well.” You don’t get this special feeling too often, so I would love to keep winning.” “I was fishing ledges in the mid-lake area,” Lambert continued.” I was fishing about 15 to 20 feet deep, throwing two main
baits- a green, pumpkincolored Yank’em Football jig trailered with a Strike King Rage Craw and a Strike King 6xD crankbait. I covered a lot of water and hit a lot of locations. The fish schools on Pickwick are very small right now.” He credits his Lowrance HDS with Structure Scan as the key component in helping him locate the fish and knowing exactly where to cast. “I live on this lake and fish it 200 days a year,” Jason said.” The Lowrance Structure Scan was such a huge factor for me this weekend. I would not have been able to win this tournament without it.” “Coming back to the scales, I didn’t think my 30 pounds was going to be
enough to win,” Lambert went on to say.” Coming into this tournament, I would have guessed that it would take in the mid to upper 30-pound range. The lake is fishing tough right now though, so it was a pleasant surprise when I had enough.” Charles Watts of Corinth came within less than two pounds of overtaking the mark set by Lambert. Charles weighed in 10 bass totaling 28.2 pounds for a second place payday worth $2,759 dollars. In the co-angler division, John Hopper of Faulkner finished atop the leader board with 10 bass weighing 24 pounds and 8 ounces, netting $2,759 in winnings. The top 40 boaters and
co-anglers based on point standings will qualify for the Oct. 18-20 Regional Championship on the Red River in Natchitoches, La. Boaters will compete for the top prize of a Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and a Chevy Silverado, while co-anglers will be competing to win a new Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard. The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 40 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one
of the longest running championships in all of competitive bass fishing -- the Walmart BFL AllAmerican presented by Chevy. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the Everstart Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.

America celebrates chestnut’s health, economic benefits BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Conservation Corner
National Chestnut Week is October 14-20. This week is to celebrate not only the economic benefits of the chestnut tree, but also the healthy aspects of the chestnut itself. For centuries, people ate chestnuts in North America until the chestnut blight destroyed almost all of the trees in our forests. This great blight was possibly the most destructive forest disease episode in history. In Colonial times, the range of the American
chestnut stretched from Southern Maine to Mississippi. The American chestnut was once a common dominant tree in the deciduous forest of Eastern North America. The chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Endothia parasitica, was first reported in New York in 1904. It was a human-imported fungus disease. Within 50 years, it had spread throughout the natural range of the chestnut trees and caused American chestnut wood to become very rare. The Chestnut wood had
many valuable properties. It was a relatively fast growing tree that was an important source of lumber. They grew with a long, straight trunk to a large diameter, and reached heights of 100 feet. It was highly resistant to rot and lighter than many other hardwoods. The wood was also similar to oak in its decorative and durable qualities. Indians would hollow out the trees to make canoes when birch was not available. The wood was also used to make church pews, sills, floor rafters, fence posts
and utility poles. The chestnut can be roasted, boiled or candied for simple snacks or combined with other ingredients to make hors d’oeuvres. They are also used in main dishes and desserts. Chestnuts can also be ground into flour, which can then be used to prepare breads, cakes and pasta. Chestnuts are an excellent choice because they are high in fiber, glutenfree, low in fat and contain no cholesterol. It is also the only nut that contains a significant amount of
vitamin C. This delicious, low-calorie treat has a mild flavor and helps to sustain energy levels. Chestnut trees produce a good crop of nuts almost every year. This is important to wildlife such as turkeys, wood ducks and squirrels. Hot roasted chestnuts also make great hand warmers in your pocket on a chilly day. You can find them in supermarkets from September through December. The chestnut is good for the economy, good for people and good for wildlife. The American Chestnut
Foundation is working to develop a blight-resistant American chestnut. Its mission is to restore the American chestnut to its native range.

Tea venture presents Museum of Appalachia holds 33rd homecoming agriculture choices BY BOB FOWLER
The Knoxville News Sentinel
BY JACOB RESTER The Daily Leader
BROOKHAVEN — Although several years away, a new venture starting in Lincoln County could mean jobs and agritourism opportunities for the area and state. Jason McDonald, managing partner of FiLoLi Farms of Brookhaven, is about to embark on a seven-year commitment to plant and grow tea plants and produce tea. McDonald was inspired to get into tea production by a visit to Charleston, S.C., where he saw the only tea farm in the United States currently. The vast majority of tea, which comes from the Chinese camellia, is grown in South America and Asia. However, those plants already exist in Southwest Mississippi. After doing some more research, McDonald is planning to raise tea plants on his property in southeastern Lincoln County and then package the product in Brookhaven. He also plans to get involved in agri-tourism, with his tea farm bringing people into the area. “It would be something that could be sustainable for the state aside from timber,” said McDonald. “Mississippi and tea sounds like a great partnership.” But tea has never been cultivated in this part of the United States, and McDonald agrees that it will start off as an experiment. “It’s something we’re definitely going to do,” he said. “It’s a work of mystery as we’re aren’t sure how it will go in Mississippi.” Southwest Mississippi has the ideal climate for tea plant production, which is subtropical to tropical with at least 50 inches of rain per year. To get from the starting blocks to production of tea will take McDon-
ald seven years, but Mississippi Agriculture and Commerce Commissioner Cindy Hyde-Smith said that won’t be a problem. “Time passes so fast. I can see us back here looking at the plants,” said Hyde-Smith while visiting McDonald’s property recently. Hyde-Smith said the area is good for tea production. Interstate 55 and U.S. Highway 84 make for an easy trip from any direction, she said. “Being a close drive to New Orleans establishes a market,” she said. “We’re not too far away. Consumers are more likely to pick a domestic product when they have a choice.” The plan is to start with 60,000 plants on 10 acres, with small and large leaf varieties. This will be a trial group of plants to see how they grow in Southwest Mississippi and if any natural predators or threats exist to them. McDonald is currently in the timber and cattle business, but he believes tea plants have a shot in Lincoln County and Mississippi. “Tea plants are very resilient plants,” said McDonald. “We don’t know of any natural predators they have around here. You can run them over with a bushhog and they’ll just grow back.” McDonald said tea plants would begin coming into Lincoln County in early 2014, with the first harvest of tea leaves not until 2017, as the plants take three to five years to reach maturity. The project will take numerous workers, thus providing for job opportunities for local citizens, McDonald said. “Planting 600 plants will take quite a few people,” he said. “I expect between 30-40 employees by early 2014, with agri-tourism providing for more.”
NORRIS, Tenn. — Year after year, the lure of nonstop mountain music, old-time crafts and camaraderie beckons them back. Some come from thousands of miles away to watch and listen, to perform or to showcase traditional skills and oldtime foods. It’s the 33rd annual Tennessee Fall Home-
coming at the Museum of Appalachia. For 30 festivals now, Floyd and Melissa Anderson of Milledgeville, Ga., have staked out a shady spot to display all of the steps in basket weaving — from white oak log to finished product — and tout their wares. “We’ve met so many people and become friends with them, it’s just like it says — it’s a homecoming,” Melissa
Anderson said. With picture-perfect weather in the forecast for the three-day event and musicians performing on five outdoor stages, museum President Elaine Irwin Meyer said between 5,000 and 10,000 visitors are expected each day. “I like the music and the people and the surroundings,” said 86-yearold Tom Bell of Louisville, Ky. This will be the
22nd year in a row that he’s made the 225-mile trek from his home. Thursday was Heritage Day — the kickoff before homecoming and set aside for kids. Some 2,000 schoolchildren visited the 60acre museum, dotted with log homes and other historic structures from Appalachia’s yesteryear. Online: http://www. museumofappalachia. org

( N A P S I ) — For many, a Hawaii vacation comes only once or twice in a lifetime. Because it’s seen as such a special event, it’s a good idea to invest a little extra time researching your options before you go. The good news is that thorough planning can often help to eliminate any loose ends and make for a relatively smooth, funfilled vacation. To help, here are some tips: ■A stress-free vacation requires advance planning. Many people head to an island paradise such as Hawaii to get away from it all. Often, that means working to make as few decisions as possible. That’s one reason many people rent a condominium for their vacation. There are no surprises at checkin. You get what you reserved. Plus, there are local contacts on hand for check-in and for any maintenance needs that may arise. At a quality condo, such as one of the 16 high-quality condominium resorts managed by Outrigger Hotels and Resorts throughout the Hawaiian islands, no deposit is required prior to
check-in and you have the option of changing to a different rental unit if the first one isn’t quite right for you. In addition, there are full kitchens, large living spaces, washers and dryers, great locations and other services and amenities like barbecue and picnic areas. The services available at their condominiums, located in Hawaii’s best-known vacation destinations, include on-site frontdesk staff, on-site management personnel and the security that comes from renting a unit from a trusted hospitality company. ■Trying to save a few dollars can make for a very expensive trip. Some people risk their vacation experience by choosing to rent directly from an individual condo owner thinking it will save a few dollars. They may offer lower rates — but at what cost? The little you save in money can pale in comparison to the cost you pay when it comes to peace of mind. Owner-direct bookings do not have an on-site representative or services, so once guests pick up the keys to their condo they are on their own and have no options should something go wrong.
Local school students participate in BEST Robotics Competition Special to the Daily Corinthian
STARKVILLE —Students from around the Magnolia State will plot a path to the stars through this year’s Mississippi Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology (BEST) program. The six-week program began Sept. 15 by asking student teams to design a space elevator and build a robot capable of climbing a 12-foot tower using only a standardized box of materials and their imaginations. Their creations will be tested in a final competition Oct. 26-27 at Armstrong Middle School. Winners advance to the South’s BEST regional competition held at Auburn University. “This contest fosters critical thinking, handson participation and teamwork,� said Eric Heiselt, director of educational outreach at Mississippi State’s Bagley
College of Engineering, which organizes the program. Heiselt explained that the exciting, sports-like atmosphere of the program offers students a unique way to study engineering, science and technology. By introducing students to these fields, and providing them with mentors from those industries, the program aims to motive students to pursue more education in the fields. Mississippi is one of 15 states that host one of the 39 licensed BEST competitions each year. BEST Robotics is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization whose mission is to engage, excite, and inspire middle and high school students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers through participation in the sixweek long competition. Since it began in 1993, the BEST program has
become the largest school-based robotics competition in the U.S. and the only one that is free to schools. This fall, more than 850 schools, 12,500 students, and 4,500 volunteers are participating in the program. More than 40 community colleges, technical schools and universities are involved. Schools enrolled for the 2012 Mississippi BEST program include Corinth Middle and High Schools and Alcorn Central High SchoolTechnology Discovery. The 2012 Mississippi BEST program is sponsored by the Mississippi Manufacturing of Jackson; Caterpillar Inc. of Corinth; Nissan of Canton; Kimberly-Clark of Corinth; Milwaukee of Greenwood; Toyota of Blue Springs; Mississippi State University EPSCoR; and the Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University.

Blessings from clerks rub customer wrong way DEAR ABBY: Several salespersons recently have ended our transaction by saying, “Have a blessed day.� The last two times it happened, I stopped and asked, “What do you mean by that?� Both of them stammered and didn’t know what to say. One said, “I’m sort of religious.� I replied that I’m atheist. I don’t think these folks realize what they’re saying. The next time it happens, I plan to respond by asking Zeus to bestow blessings upon them as well. Why do people feel they have a right to force their religious beliefs on customers? — ANNOYED ATHEIST IN TEXAS DEAR ANNOYED ATHEIST: I seriously doubt they are trying to proselytize. The expression may be regional. Or the person may feel that “blessed� is synonymous with “good,� “happy� or “safe.� If you wish to invoke the blessings of Zeus upon them, feel free to do so. But don’t be surprised if you have a heck of a time getting waited on the next time you visit the establishment. DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with “Ward� for two years. I love him and everything is great except for one thing. He refuses to compromise when it comes to his family functions. He’s very close to his extended family, and every time there’s an event like a recent graduation
party for a cousin, he never w a n t s to leave. We were there for Abigail 10 hours, Van Buren and I spent more than Dear Abby half of it either alone or talking to someone I didn’t know well because Ward had ditched me. I have spoken to him about this, but he’s unwilling to compromise. He says his family knows him as “the social guy� and expects him to stay late and be the life of the party. It’s getting old that he makes me feel like the bad guy or a party-pooper when I want to leave. We have had big fights over this. I’m not sure what to do. This has caused a rift in our relationship. — FAMILYFUNCTIONED OUT IN MINNESOTA DEAR FAMILYFUNCTIONED OUT: When the next family function rolls around, go in separate cars. That way you can leave when you get tired, and Ward can stay as long as he wants. No harm, no foul, no fights. DEAR ABBY: I married my high school sweetheart at the age of 24. Five years later we divorced. My current husband, “Gil,� had a similar short first marriage. Although Gil and I have chosen not to divulge any information to our two children about our pre-

vious marriages, my sister thinks we should tell them everything because they may find out later in life and be disappointed they didn’t hear it from us. She has said on many occasions that we are being dishonest. That is certainly not our intention. We truly believe there’s no reason to bring up a past that has no benefit in their lives. Your advice is badly needed because I see my relationship with my sister spiraling in a downward direction. I love her, but I don’t agree with her opinion. — LIVES IN THE PRESENT DEAR LIVES IN THE PRESENT: I see no reason to make a “grand announcement� to your children, but with the rate at which marriages fail in this country, I also see no reason to keep this a deep, dark secret. If the subject of what makes a successful marriage comes up when your children are old enough, and you think it could be helpful to them, you might be able to impart some important life lessons if you mention the past. Having been married once previously isn’t a shameful secret, and it should not be treated like one.

Book review: ‘The Man Who Saw a Ghost’ New Henry Fonda biography gets inside actor’s head BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL Associated Press
“The Man Who Saw a Ghost: The Life and Work of Henry Fonda” (St. Martin’s Press), by Devin McKinney Oscar-winning actor Henry Fonda was a haunted man? The distinctly American characters he played in films and onstage — young Abraham Lincoln, Tom Joad, Wyatt Earp, Mister Roberts, the president of the United States — certainly dealt with their share of ghosts. But Fonda him-
self? Self-destruction, if not specters, did seem to trail Fonda. His wife Frances killed herself, and a former wife, actress Margaret Sullavan, may have ended her own life as well. The author of the novel “Mister Roberts,” which led to Fonda’s Broadway triumph, was a suicide. There’s even the possibility that it wasn’t an accident in 1935 that put Fonda, his film career under way, inside a garage and at the wheel of a car, its engine running. Fonda appears to have been drawn to real people and fictionalized characters who destroy themselves or cannot resist a path toward death. To ascertain why, author Devin McKinney relies heavily
on books by Fonda and children Peter and Jane as he explores the actor’s psyche. “The Man Who Saw a Ghost” is as unusual and intriguing a Hollywood biography as its title suggests. Fonda has long been described as a cold, emotionally distant father and self-centered husband — he was married five times. McKinney is less interested in Fonda on the set than trying to explain the man and the masks he chose to wear for the public’s amusement. McKinney’s narrative often carries the tone of a psychiatric report — grave, humorless and bent on connecting Fonda’s off-screen actions to his on-screen work. Some-
times, McKinney gets lost inside the actor’s head in his search for meaning. Yet, even as he overwrites in making a point, he can be persuasive. For example, McKinney argues that Fonda’s role in “The Wrong Man” as an innocent musician whose incarceration drives his wife insane is uncomfortably reminiscent of wife Frances’ mental decline. McKinney also sees Fonda’s role in the play “A Gift of Time” — the protagonist kills himself rather than continue a slow death from cancer — as his way of dramatizing “an obligation” to his late wife and achieving some kind of understanding. Still, as Freud might have said, sometimes a role is just a role, especial-
ly when an actor is under contract to a studio, seeking a challenge or just out to make a dollar. McKinney is on firmer ground when he cites Fonda’s efforts to see to the screen the anti-lynching Western “The Ox-Bow Incident” and the courtroom drama “12 Angry Men.” Those two films connect better than others to the big reveal in McKinney’s psychiatric portrait, the ghost that might explain how Fonda lived: At 14, he witnessed the lynching of a black man in his hometown of Omaha, Neb. “It suggests the seeds of so much sorrow, anger and solitude in Fonda,” McKinney writes. But he says it’s only context, not
an explanation. “All we may claim is that it happened, and all we may justifiably imagine is that a boy witnessed it, remembered it, and carried it with him through all the years of a long, difficult, meaningful, magnificent American life — until he too was dead, his bones burned, his body released from all pain, all memory, ashes to ashes.” Overwrought prose aside, McKinney offers a unique portrait of an actor who hid so much emotionally but trusted his audience to see what he couldn’t show them. Douglass K. Daniel is the author of “Tough as Nails: The Life and Films of Richard Brooks” (University of Wisconsin Press).
The Wallflowers make it up as they go on new album BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As producers are known to do, Jay Joyce called Jakob Dylan to discuss plans before they were scheduled to start recording The Wallflowers’ first album in seven years. Joyce was surprised when Dylan said he really didn’t have anything. “We had a couple of songs, nothing but a bunch of stuff on a laptop that I said, ‘This might sound like this. This might sound like this,’” Dylan recalled. “But they were lyrics,” Joyce said in mock protest. “I was like, ‘This is what
I got,’” Dylan, 42, said with a laugh. The singer and producer got together recently in Nashville to talk about “Glad All Over,” the first Wallflowers’ album since 2005’s “Rebel, Sweetheart.” This time around the Grammy winners tried something different as Dylan — no longer comfortable with his lead songwriting role — took a step back and tried to blend into the band. In the past, he’d shown up at sessions with demos and strong feelings. This time, there were no demos or completed lyrics; just ideas the group — which includes longtime members Rami Jaffee
on keyboard, Greg Richling on bass and guitarist Stuart Mathis with new drummer Jack Irons — took and ran with. “If you (pre-write), those songs come with an implied feeling, groove, tempo,” Dylan said. “They can limit the bass player. They can limit the drums. You’ve already got your vocal locked in and you’re not going to budge. So it can be stifling. You realize you’re bolted in with what the song already was. This lets the band lead, lets the band get out and front, and I can find a way to fit in the opposite way.” “It could have gone horribly wrong, man,” Joyce said. “It was sort of fun.
Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creator’s Syndicate
Have you made a purchase recently that you now realize comes with hidden expenses? Perhaps you’re experiencing buyer’s remorse or realizing for the first time the gigantic commitment involved. Whether the cost is emotional, energetic or financial, there’s a chance to make a better deal now while the Libra moon favors negotiations. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a worldview that others want to hear. Maybe yours isn’t exactly a pleasant message, and it might even be snarky or challenging in tone. But it’s true, and that’s what draws people in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some days you can force yourself to do work that you don’t want to do, but not today. You won’t be able to put your efforts into anything you don’t value, so hold out for the truly interesting opportunities. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll review the past weeks and compare them with your plans and expectations for that period of time. Your reflecting on why things did or didn’t happen will produce an “aha!” moment. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t mean to take on huge challenges. You’ll have an idea that seems fun, so you’ll pursue it. Then you’ll realize that it’s more than an idea; it’s a way of life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you were born smart, it takes effort to grow your mind and know your interests deeply. You’ll love the hours you dedicate to keeping up with the current ideas and information related to your interests.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With so much unsolicited advice floating around, the exchange of advice between someone who really knows and someone who really asked for it will be a refreshing occurrence. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You try to surround yourself with the best, but this is hard to do when you have but a limited understanding of your options. Get out and explore. And tell people what you’d like to find. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have your priorities straight, and your life reflects it. No matter how busy you are, you make time to bond with the important people in your life -- probably in the playful moments between events. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It may work against you to strive for the big win right now. Instead, go for the small wins. A pattern of small wins will have a great influence in the long term. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). With so much that needs to be accomplished now, you may see no point in ponderous philosophizing. And yet, you’ll find yourself thinking deeply into your situation, looking for a more profound meaning. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Paradoxically, spontaneous fun happens because you had the foresight to make arrangements for or create an environment conducive to laughter and good times. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your obstacle may seem to be a guarded and active force intent on keeping you from your goal. Luckily, there’s a chink in the armor of this opposition. Find it, and you can still win the game.

His presence helped Dylan achieve his goal of having five guys in a room — and only five guys — working out the songs. “I wanted to keep it simple,” Dylan said. “I knew when we got here we weren’t going to be about perfect chord patterns
and structures. It wasn’t going to be that type of songwriting. It was going to be knocking the things out on the run. After this many years of not doing this, if we were going to do it we just didn’t want it to be heavy and didn’t need any ballads or midtempo things. We just wanted to have fun.” That ethos shows up several places on the album, but perhaps nowhere better than “Reboot the Mission.” Featuring a guitar-and-vocal cameo from The Clash’s Mick Jones, “Reboot the Mission” is funky, wide-open and a little loopy with self-referential lyrics that refer to the band’s days in

Lone Oak Baptist Church
Brother Casey Rutherford, “The Gift” This pastor appreciation poem is based on Ephesians 4:8-13 which reads, “When Jesus ascended to the heights, He led a parade of captives and gave gifts to His people..He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: Pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ...” When Jesus celebrated His victory over sin and death, He chose to send gifts to those He set free. He could have, of course, chosen to give us anything: knowledge, spiritual growth, protection from the evil one, or even comfort during trials. In the end, though, when Jesus celebrated His victory over sin and death, He chose to give us all these things because, Pastor, He chose to give us You.
Love, your church family, Rutherford Chapel
