Dry conditions increase wildfire potential BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

With dry conditions taking hold, oﬃcials are discouraging burning leaves or anything else outdoors until the area gets some rainfall.

Corinth had a large grass fire Wednesday afternoon, and the potential may increase as more days go by without rainfall and the humidity level decreases with the fall season. The weather forecast holds little prom-

ise of relief, with only a slim 20 percent chance of rainfall posted for Wednesday night and Thursday by the National Weather Service Memphis

A longtime Alcorn School District teacher, Sherra Potts retired from education in 2010 after 33 years of dedication at Alcorn Central and Alcorn Career-Technology Center. Now with more free time, the 60-year-old finds herself attending car shows with her babies – two 1930 Ford Model-As. “They were my mother and daddy’s,” she said. One of the two classic cars was on display at the Green Market on Saturday. “I’m using it as decoration,” she said. Sherra and her husband, Curtis, could both be found along Fillmore Street helping their son, Jesse, sell the thousands of pumpkins the young farmer grew on the family farm. Sherra also has one daughter, Tana, and three grandchildren.

Today in History

Daily Corinthian • 3A

Across the Region Baldwyn

Today is Sunday, Oct. 2, the 276th day of 2016. There are 90 days left in the year. The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 2, 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow; Soviet forces succeeded in holding onto their capital.

On this date: In 1780, British spy John Andre was hanged in Tappan, New York, during the Revolutionary War. In 1835, the first battle of the Texas Revolution took place as American settlers fought Mexican soldiers near the Guadalupe River; the Mexicans ended up withdrawing. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side. In 1944, German troops crushed the twomonth-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed. In 1959, Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone” made its debut on CBS-TV. In 1985, actor Rock Hudson, 59, died at his home in Beverly Hills, California, after battling AIDS. In 2002, the Washington D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. Local Tomatoes, Squash, New Crop (Mississippi) “Sweet Potatoes” by the bucket or bushel

Man charged with felony shoplifting BALDWYN — A Baldwyn resident is accused of shoplifting items from a new business in Booneville. Booneville Police arrested Jermaine Elliott Beene, 33, of 907 Greenwood Drive, Baldwyn, on a felony shoplifting charge, said Police Chief Michael Ramey. Beene is accused of taking some personal hygiene items Monday night from the new Dollar General on South Second Street which opened earlier this month. Bond was set at $7,500. The police chief said this arrest marks two weeks in a row Beene was arrested on a shoplifting charge, having previously been accused of taking $89.35 worth of personal hygiene items at Walmart. In an unrelated arrest, Booneville PD arrested Charles W. Key Jr., 35, of 207 East Church St., Booneville on a charge of one count burglary and larceny of a commercial building. His bond was $5,000. Key is accused of breaking into some storage buildings on East Church Street. “He was in the process of taking some different items when the owner of the storage building pulled up,” Ramey said.

Northeast Mississippi Community College and Prentiss County are a match that’s making a difference. College President Ricky Ford visited the county board of supervisors during their most recent meeting to express his appreciation for the county’s strong support of the college. Ford said he’s grateful for the positive relationship between the county and the school. Ford said the school is continuing to grow its enrollment and offer innovative programs despite continuing reductions in state funding. With state funding declining each year, the president said the support provided by Prentiss County and the other counties in the school’s district is more vital than ever. He noted students from Prentiss County receive $4.13 in financial aid at the school for ever $1 in tax funds provided to the school by the county. The county has the second highest number of students attending the college with 16.94 percent of the student body. Only Alcorn County, which makes up 23.39 percent of students, is higher. Ford said there are numerous projects in the planning stages at the school, with one of the largest nearing a start on the college’s iconic boulevard. The boulevard improvement project, funded through a grant program, will include major renovations and improvements to make the area more ac-

cessible, attractive and usable.

Blue Mountain BMC ranks among top schools in South BLUE MOUNTAIN — Blue Mountain College ranked seventh in the “U.S. News & World Report’s” 2017 Best Colleges guide for the Best Regional Colleges in the South category, moving up from 22nd last year and achieving its highest ranking ever in the publication. This is the first year BMC has ranked in the top 10 in the college guide. President Barbara McMillin commented, “To be recognized at this level by such a highly esteemed publication as “U.S. News & World Report” is a great testimony to Blue Mountain College’s commitment to both excellence and affordability.” Other schools in the top 10 include University of the Ozarks, Flagler College, Catawba College, University of South Caroline-Aiken, Coker College, University of Mobile, Bennett College and Belmont Abbey College. There were 56 colleges and universities included in the first tier of the South rankings. U.S. News defines regional colleges as those focusing on the undergraduate experience and offering a broad range of programs in the liberal arts in fields such as business, nursing and education. U.S. News measures academic quality by gathering data in a number of categories: assessment by

A rank is arrived at after calculating weighted scores for each school. Blue Mountain College was also ranked second in the “U.S. News & World Report” for the Best Value – Regional College in the South. To determine which colleges and universities offer the best value for students, U.S. News took into account both academic quality and cost. This is the first year BMC has ranked in the top 10 in this category. “We hope that through this recognition even more students will be introduced to BMC and encouraged by the opportunities to grow as leaders and scholars on our campus,” stated President McMillin.

Grand Illumination needs volunteers A big candle lighting event returns to Corinth this year and those hoping to pull oﬀ the feat have asked the community for help. The oﬃcial call for volunteers to help with the Grand Illumination went out last week. It’s a showpiece event for local history and businesses that returns in November after a four-year hiatus. The Grand Illumination involves placing 12,000 brightly-lit “luminaries” around Corinth, including at the site of Battery Robinett at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center and a path that will highlight Corinth’s antebellum homes, Contraband Camp, historic railroad crossing and the downtown business district. Volunteers are needed to help prepare the luminary bags from now until the day of the event — Nov. 5 — when they will be needed to put them out on the streets and at the Interpretive Center. The return of the event ties in with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. At least 3,000 of the luminaries need to be constructed each week with ideal size groups of 15 to 20 volunteers, according Grand Illumination committee member and Corinth Tourism Director Christy Burns. Burns underlined the importance of the event to local tourism. “It’s a community event, and the more the community is involved, the better it can be,” the tourism director recently told the Daily Corinthian. “It’s being advertised three hours out in our driving market. We want visitors to be pleased with our event. There’s going to be a lot of people in our town, and we want to make sure they have a good time.” Volunteers are needed to help with the luminaries on Mondays and Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The hours can be adjusted in October during the Corinth School District break. The Grand Illumination has been named a Top 20 event by the Southeast Tourism Society over the years. It is the lighting of 12,000 luminaries in memory of soldiers from both sides of the conflict who died in Corinth in April of 1862 during the Siege of Corinth and in October 1862 during the Battle of Corinth. Volunteer your time for this great event.

Columnist gives advice for next debate Donald Trump scored a gentleman’s “C” in his first debate with Hillary Clinton. She was programmed, like one of those androids from the film “Westworld,” spewing out well-rehearsed sound bites, smiling (sometimes condescendingly), and even tossing in a few wiggles. It was all designed to make her look warm and wonderful. As the saying goes, if you can fake sincerity, you can fake anything. Trump did best when he didn’t focus on himself and this is the pattern he should follow in the next two debates. As a seasoned debater, who has taken on professors and liberal thinkers on campuses from Harvard, Dartmouth and Yale in the east, to the University of California, Davis in the west, I think I can say without too much hubris that I know how to destroy a bad argument. Let’s start with the race issue. Hillary Clinton slammed Trump for comments she regards as racist. If she tries that again, Trump should extend the road he began to walk down Monday night. He was right to say that his opponent and her party have had decades to repair the racial divide (which President Obama

suggested he would do), but that chasm has only widened over the last eight years. racCal Real Thomas ism, Trump should say, Columnist is refusing to allow minority children in failing public schools to escape them in favor of better ones simply because many teachers’ unions oppose school choice and contribute significantly to the Democratic Party. Trump should take on the issue of poverty and propose a public-private partnership with churches and religious institutions that would be assigned an individual in need of help. These churches then would do all that was necessary to help that person escape poverty, including oﬀering financial advice, access to education or even baby-sitting services so that this person could go to school. Retiring baby boomers could find new purpose in life by helping someone become independent of government programs, which have cost a lot, but have done little to reduce the number of poor. Trump should ask Hillary Clinton why she thinks government is the answer

to so many of the nation’s problems when in reality it has too often caused or contributed to this country’s ills. She wants to grow government even more, spending additional billions in borrowed money, mortgaging the futures of generations to come. Remember when Democrats decried debt? That was when a Republican occupied the White House. Again, during Monday’s debate, Trump started to make the case for success in business and in life, but he made it more about himself than others. Americans are inspired by stories of people who have overcome obstacles and Trump should not only tell their stories, he should start featuring them in his political ads and on stage with him -- as he has done with veterans. Inspiration has always been the fuel that ignites economic and personal growth. One subject we didn’t hear discussed in the first debate was the Constitution. Hillary Clinton said she believes in a “living Constitution,” meaning it is open to interpretation by liberal judges to fit the times. What does Trump believe about our founding document? On nuclear weapons, Trump needs to embrace Ronald Reagan’s view (and that of President Obama)

that they need to be reduced, especially in rogue regimes. Talk of using such weapons is irresponsible, though our adversaries must believe we would use them if attacked. The prospect of mutually assured destruction during the Cold War ensured nuclear weapons would not be used. Extremist regimes, like Iran, do not appear to fear a nuclear apocalypse. Lastly, how about appealing to personal accountability and responsibility in the second debate? Let’s hear about entitlement reform, entitlements being the main driver of debt. As I have argued, government should be a last resort, not a first resource — a safety net, not a hammock. More than missing emails and Hillary Clinton’s character (which is already fixed in the minds of most people) voters want to hear about subjects that will affect their lives. It’s about us, more than them. If Trump can close that deal, he is likely to score a “B” in the next debate. If he scores higher, he just might win in November. Cal Thomas is the host of “After Hours with Cal Thomas” on the FOX News Channel. Readers may email him at tmseditors@ tribune.com.

Debate tells how candidates would govern You’ve heard and read by now lots of spin and speculation about who won and where the polls are going to move after Monday’s presidential debate. We’ll know the answers to these questions soon. The more important question for the long run is how each of these candidates would govern. The debate provides no certain answers to that question, but it does offer some useful clues. Hillary Clinton started oﬀ with a laundry list of incremental economic programs — none of which would promote economic growth. Some have already been legislated (equal pay for women, 1963), others are tilted to the upscale (debtfree college). What about the “investments” she called for? Infrastructure spending employs a few high-skill workers and may, some day, provide facilities. Other “investments” usually turn out to be subsidies for Democratic-supporting public employee unions. Revive the economy by building solar panels? The government tried that with Solyndra and lost $535 million. Of course, Clinton’s sharply higher individual tax rates and maintenance of the world’s highest corporate tax would stifle growth

to some greater or lesser extent. Her policies are based on pathetically weak ecoMichael nomic theoBarone ries: that the 2001-03 tax Columnist cuts caused the 2007 financial collapse; that “clean energy” will power every home cheaply and reliably; and that “trickle down” never works. This looks like stuﬀ concocted to attract Bernie Sanders voters. And little of it is likely to be enacted if, as just about every expert predicts, Republicans maintain their majority in the House. A President Clinton could do more damage on other fronts. She wants federal “retraining” of local police and attributes racial disparities in law enforcement to “systemic racism” rather than to well-known racial disparities in criminal behavior. Encouraging grievances against police has already produced riots and increases in murder and violent crime. Central cities were ripped apart for decades after the 1960s. Clinton might set the process in motion again. On foreign policy Clinton endorses the Iran deal as a

“lid” on its nuclear weapons program, rather than the roadway it is, and promises victory over ISIS in a year or so. Let’s hope. But her main case here, one with some foundation, is the ignorance and possible recklessness of her opponent. From Donald Trump’s debate performance emerge clues that she may be right. He returned repeatedly to his promises to tear up trade agreements and impose tariﬀs -- would Congress vote them? -- on imports. He continued to suggest he wouldn’t defend allies if they don’t spend more on defense. Several times in the debate, when his business success or personal behavior was challenged, Trump was distracted into self-harming monologues. On the Iraq War, instead of discussing a dozen-year-old Sean Hannity interview, he could have simply said he opposed it before Clinton did. And he might keep up with the news. A recent government report showed increased illegal southernborder crossings. Last week, former Mexican Foreign Secretary Jorge Castaneda noted that a President Trump actually could make Mexicans pay for a wall there. Numerous commentators pointed out that Clin-

ton seemed better prepared than Trump and spoke more coherently -- something that appeals to us in the chattering classes. But both candidates’ performances suggest underperformance as president. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and (some would add) Barack Obama came to oﬃce with intellectually serious and achievable platforms. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump would. Clinton, as the email scandal reveals, cocoons herself in a very tight circle of sycophants. She prepares doggedly, but the homework she turns in is plodding and intellectually shoddy. Trump, as his campaign reveals, has shrewd insights but also vast areas of ignorance and seems too lazy to be anything but his improvisatory self. Clinton seems too contrived to be a good president, and Trump seems too undisciplined. It’s your choice Nov. 8.

Corinth woman speaks at rescue mission BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Corinth woman with a powerful life story of redemption will share her message Sunday night with nationally known singing stars Chris Tomlin, Lorrie Morgan and Jason Crabb at a benefit for the Nashville Rescue Mission. Polly Johnson is well known in the area as a leader at Living Free Ministries. The star-studded show will be held Sunday at 7 p.m. at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. This annual event is a huge fundraiser for the Nashville Rescue Mission. Johnson, who once spent

time in rehab at the Nashville Rescue Mission, is thrilled to go back to help the center raise money to continue their programs of helping numerous people. “I’m so excited about being asked to speak for them,” said Johnson. “I know what the mission does and how much they help people. They share hope with many people who need it.” Her husband Craig has teased her about Tomlin opening up for her at the benefit, but she said appearing with the stars has made her nervous. “I have been praying about what the Lord would have me to say,” said Johnson. “If I can say

something that will help one person, then it will be worth it for me. God has been good to me and I want to share my story of how God has blessed me and changed my life.” The Nashville Rescue Mission serves close to 2,000 meals a day to hungry, homeless and hurting people in the community. This is done 365 days a year at two sites in Nashville. The center has been in operation since 1954. They provide shelter to the homeless, clothing, day rooms, education and training, and counseling-spiritual encouragement to many people. Johnson is an active member of Oakland Baptist Church. She

teaches a weekly Bible study at Living Free and leads a Bible study for female inmates in the Alcorn County Jail. She graduated from McNairy Central and spent five years teaching English at the school. Polly and Craig are the parents of two children. Michelle Bryson, media director of the Nashville Rescue Mission, posted a video of Johnson’s testimony earlier this year that soon went viral and was shared countless times. “Michelle told me that they had never posted a more popular video,” commented Johnson. “It made me feel good that people cared enough to look at the video and enjoyed hearing

Clinton shows empathy for voters in hacked recording BY CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — In a leaked recording from a February fundraiser, Hillary Clinton expressed empathy for young voters who sided with her thenprimary opponent, Bernie Sanders. The hacked recording of Clinton speaking at the fundraiser six months ago in McLean, Virginia was published by the Washington Free Beacon this week. During the event, Clinton said that many young people are “children of the Great Recession. And they are living

in their parents’ basement. They feel that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves.” Clinton added that for people who don’t see any economic opportunities, the idea that “you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing.” Young voters have been a stumbling block for Clinton. Many preferred Sanders, a Vermont senator who promised free tuition at public colleges and nationalized health care. At the fundraiser,

Clinton said she had spoken with frustrated young millennials and understood where they were coming from. Clinton questioned the idea of a political revolution, calling it a “false promise,” though she said that wasn’t the right message for “idealistic young people.” Clinton argued she was too was promising big ideas around health care, education and climate change. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump seized on a news report about Clinton’s comments, tweeting that “Crooked H is nasty to

Sanders supporters behind closed doors. Owned by Wall St and Politicians, HRC is not with you.” But Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin said that “as Hillary Clinton said in those remarks, she wants young people to be idealistic and set big goals.” Throughout the primary, which she eventually won, Clinton stressed that she was oﬀering a more pragmatic, achievable agenda than Sanders. She has wooed his young backers for months, adapting some of her policies — like on college aﬀordability — to better appeal to his supporters.

ment and the Corinth Police Department in preventing the fire from spreading deeper onto the property,” she said. “We are also grateful for the assistance of the Natchez Trace Parkway fire crew with digging a hand line around the perimeter and mopping up after the fire.” The city requested Farmington to respond with its brush truck to assist the oﬀ-road attack on the blaze. With the dry conditions, “It took oﬀ,” said

Corinth Fire Chief Todd Welch. “There’s not much we can do with it once it gets out in the woods.” About the same time, Corinth responded to a much smaller grass fire on Polk. It appeared that fire might have been sparked by a cigarette. The Mississippi Forestry Commission is asking the public to be cautious with any outdoor burning such as campfires and outdoor grills. “Wildfires can start with just a spark and spread quickly to endan-

ger forestland, personal property and lives,” said State Forester Charlie Morgan. Since June 1, the Mississippi Forestry Commission has responded to 259 wildfires that burned 2,363 acres and threatened 348 structures in the state. Emergency Services Coordinator Ricky Gibens said the county has seen a couple of grass fires recently in the Southwest and Jacinto areas. He advised against any outdoor burning.

my story.” “Nashville Rescue Mission has a rich history,” said Glenn Cranfield, president and CEO of Nashville Rescue Mission. “It started back in 1953, when Dr. Charles Fuller led a revival at the Ryman Auditorium. After hearing the founder of Memphis Rescue Mission speak and noticing the numerous homeless men living on the streets, Fuller incorporated the issue of homelessness into his sermon. As the revival came to a close, people in the audience gave a spontaneous love oﬀering to be used to open an interdenominational rescue mission that would care for the city’s homeless and hurting.”

CORINTH GAS & WATER DEPARTMENT Celebrates National Public Natural Gas Week Corinth Gas & Water Department will observe the national Public Natural Gas Week from October 2 – 8. This annual nationwide event is intended to build public awareness about the value of having a community-owned natural gas utility. During this week, we will also educate residents on the environmental and cost benefits of using clean, reliable and affordable natural gas in addition to the cost benefits of natural gas appliances. There are approximately 1,000 public natural gas systems serving more than 5 million customers. These public natural gas utilities are not-for-profit retail distribution entities that are owned by and accountable to the citizens they serve. They include municipal gas distribution systems, public utility districts, county districts, and other public agencies that have natural gas distribution facilities. Your public natural gas utility is good for the community for many reasons including: x Local Control: Having a public natural gas system gives a community local control over how gas is provided to homes and businesses. Decisions are made through citizen participation instead of being made in a distant city by people who do not understand local issues and who are primarily focused on profits instead of service. x Competitive Costs: In order to offer fair and competitive rates, public natural gas systems operate as a not-for-profit entity. Public natural gas systems do not face pressure to pay dividends to stockholders. x Economic Benefits: As a public natural gas system, we play a valuable role in helping communities broaden its tax base, and in turn improve the local economy and increase jobs. Public natural gas systems ensure that local dollars stay at home. x Customer Service: As a not-for-profit entity, we focus on service, rather than profits. Public natural gas systems are an integral part of a community. We maintain a close relationship with our customers, and as a result, we are successful in meeting our customers’ needs. We look forward to continuing to bring safe, reliable natural gas into your homes and businesses. We also hope you join us in supporting natural gas as a premier energy source for our country. As the cleanest burning fossil fuel, natural gas can help us achieve energy security and build a more competitive economy. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of natural gas and how your public natural gas system works, please contact us at 662-286-2263 or visit us on the web at corinthgasandwater.com.

IUKA — Showcasing the latest styles and furniture trends, Town & Country Furniture Co. of Iuka has added an exciting new line to its offerings. Added a few short months ago, owners Jeff and Deedra Hollis are proud to announce they are now licensed dealers of the popular Magnolia Home line of furniture by Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper.” “We’ve been a Standard dealer for a while and are pleased to now offer the Magnolia Home collection,” said Jeff. “The buzz about the new line has generated a lot of excitement among our customers and driven more traffic to the store.” As seen on TV, the Magnolia Home line, built by Standard Furniture features pieces for every room of the house. From kitchen islands and bath storage pieces to dining room tables and plush oversized sofas, each piece falls into a specific genre – Boho, Farm, French-inspired, French Youth, Industrial, Primitive and Traditional. Created exclusively by Joanna to convey her fresh, unique design style and passion for helping others create beautiful, meaningful spaces, the exquisite line of furniture was released to retailers in March. “We have several bedroom sets, living room sets and other pieces currently in stock, but will be adding new items regularly,” said Jeff, who is also a fan of the TV show. “We hope to ultimately, end up with an 8,000 or 10,000 square foot area just for that collection.” The Pickwick residents and their three daughters recently had the opportunity to meet Joanna’s husband, Chip Gaines, while tailgating at The Grove in Oxford during the Ole Miss vs. Alabama game. “Gov. Phil Bryant offered Chip his skybox and Standard Furniture sent a jet to Waco, Texas to pick he and his buddies up for

I always tell our three girls that they could very well be Miss Mississippi one day and Chip tells his girls the same thing about Texas. So, we all got a kick out of him saying ‘I hope my girls don’t run into yours as Miss Mississippi someday.’” In addition to meeting Chip, the Hollis’ also presented him with a T-shirt and got him to sign some items for the store. Family owned and operated since 1972, the Hollis couple purchased Town & Country Furniture Co. from Deedra’s uncle, Paul Morris in 2004. Following a devastating fire in 2006 around Thanksgiving, the couple was forced to move their business across the street to a building that was once a Texaco station and bingo hall. Resulting in a total loss, the store underwent a complete remodel and was transformed into what customers see today. “We were only out of
