Cambridge exam program demands more Corinth pilot comes with expectations; tweaks made as transition continues BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Now in its second year at Corinth High School, the Uni-
versity of Cambridge International Examinations program is demanding more than business as usual from local students.
With it came a new grading scale, new expectations and the distinction of being one of three schools in the state participating in the Excellence for All pilot. “I think the thing we are the proudest of,” said Superintendent Lee Childress, “is that
Corinth students last year for the first time navigated an international curriculum. They took internationally based exams and they showed they could be successful and they could compete on exams at a level other students from all across the world are doing.”
Teachers and administrators feel good about the first-year scores, he said, although it has been a big transition for students. “It has been very challenging for our students, particularly Please see CAMBRIDGE | 5A

Day supports parents who have lost infant BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Not long after the sun disappeared for the day, a group of Corinthians gathered at the downtown depot. They were there to remember the lives that ended far too soon and to take comfort in the presence of so many others who have experienced this form of tragedy. The ceremony was held to mark the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, a time to give support, education and awareness for those who suffered a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, a still birth or the loss of an infant.
In communities across the nation, others were holding similar candlelighting ceremonies. A large circle of luminaries bordered the approximately 75 people who attended the ceremony early last week. The event included a series of speakers, from medical professionals and spiritual leaders to women who have experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage or losing an infant. “It’s a day to reflect on the loss — yet to reflect with love,” said Dr. Blakley Fowler, a local pediatrician. Many of those gathered held balloons — blue, pink and white —

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the theme of the New Testament. Almost every page provides correct information about Jesus Christ. That is why we encourage people to read the Bible. In its simplest terms, the gospel of Jesus is the “good news” concerning Him. In a day when there is so little “good news”, it is important to spread the “good news” of Jesus. The gospel message is that although man is a sinner, deserving death and hell, God loved mankind enough to provide salvation. The Bible - “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). “Being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. The amazing grace of God is truly good news. The heart of the gospel is Christ in death, burial, and resurrection, The Bible - “Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles - wonders and signs” “This Jesus hath God raised up” (Acts 2:22, 32)” Therefore let all of the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). The people were pricked in their heart by the “Good News”, he said “Men and brethren, what shall we do? Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission - forgiveness - of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:37-38). Peter told the people how to accept the “Good News”. The gospel Good News - is for all people.

Faith moved many to obey: “They that gladly received the word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about 3000 souls” (Acts 2:41). The church grew rapidly as many were added to the church: (Acts 2:47). The first time they heard the “Good News” of Jesus, they obeyed. Man must not delay his obedience to God. Now, don’t wait any longer. Get up, be baptized and wash away your sins, trusting Jesus who is our Savior. What can we learn? Obey Jesus - He is the ONLY Saviour. Read you Bible - Acts 2.

Corinth, Miss.
Phillips, Coleman vie to succeed Carlson BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Candidates for the Mississippi Supreme Court have to be at least 30 years old and must have practiced law in the state for at least five years. They’re extremely limited in what they can promise while campaigning. The two attorneys running for a Supreme Court seat in north Mississippi — Richard “Flip” Phillips and Josiah Coleman — say voters really want to know whether they respect the law and can apply it fairly. They are vying to replace Presiding Justice George C. Carlson Jr. of Batesville, who is retiring after 11 years on the Supreme Court and 19 years as a circuit judge in north Mississippi. The 65-year-old Carlson will leave the bench when his term ends in January. Carlson was in private practice 1972-82 before being elected in 1983 as circuit judge in the 17th Judicial District. He was re-elected without opposition four times. He was appointed to the Supreme Court in November of 2001 by then-Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, then became a presiding justice in 2009. Carlson has been genial but direct during oral arguments before the court. Peers describe him as conscientious and scholarly, saying that in any situation, Carlson endeavors to express appreciation to all who participate. Phillips, also of Batesville, grew up with Carlson and says of his friend: “He has been a good judge.” In the campaign, Phillips has raised $244,356 and Coleman has raised $182,329. Phillips, 65, touts his 40-year legal career that his included criminal and civil law. He has been a prosecutor and has represented local governments and businesses. “I have the experience and qualifications to keep the Mississippi Supreme Court a good, solid court,” Phillips told The Associated Press. His campaign finance reports show broad support from business leaders, attorneys and physicians. “I have a tremendous respect for the law,” Phillips said. “A judge’s job is to apply the law with integrity. That’s what the people want. What they don’t want are judges who are influenced by outside influences.” Phillips said from traveling around the 33-county district, he has found that voters want someone who “understands the law ... and who has the experience to apply the fairly.” While Coleman trails in fundraising, he has gotten endorsements from business groups such as BIPEC, Mississippi Manufacturers Association, Mississippi Association of Realtors, Mississippi Medical PAC, BancorpSouth’s PAC and the state Republican Party. He touts those endorsements on his campaign website. Coleman, 39, lives in Toccopola and practices in Oxford, and he grew up around politics. His father, Thomas Coleman, was one of the first judges on the state Court of Appeals in the mid-1990s; and his grandfather, the late J.P. Coleman, was a governor and federal judge. “My family taught me that public service is an honor and a duty,” Coleman says in a television spot. His philosophy, as noted on his website, is that “judges should not act to make public policy as though they were members of the legislative branch — they should fairly interpret our current laws.” The race between Phillips and Coleman is one of four Mississippi Supreme Court elections on the Nov. 6 ballot. Three are contested and one has sitting Justice Leslie King as the only candidate. In a Supreme Court race in the south, Justice Mike Randolph faces challenger Talmadge Braddock. Both live in Hattiesburg. In the central one-third of the state, Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. is challenged by state Rep. Earle Banks of Jackson. There is also one Court of Appeals election on the ballot. Judicial candidates run without party labels. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jack Elliott is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

A verse to share The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom. — Isaiah 35:1 (NRSV)
Inept politicians share Atlas’ major flaw BY JIMMY REED Stupidity was devastating for mythological Atlas, whose fate was to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders. He had a chance to rid himself of the burden when Hercules, a man of superhuman strength, visited him, seeking help in recovering the missing Golden Apples of the Hesperides. Atlas knew their whereabouts, and Hercules agreed to hold up the tremendous burden while he went to fetch them. Atlas returned with the apples, but refused to give them to Hercules. As wily as he was strong, Hercules asked Atlas to hold up the world while he padded his shoulders to ease the grinding weight. Atlas consented, and Hercules, with apples in hand, departed. When Ayn Rand, a Russian immigrant to America who had endured the woes created by stupid, collectivist politicians, wrote “Atlas Shrugged,” the book that has impacted my life the most, second only to the Bible, she knew how big
governments and bloated bureaucracies cripple courageous individuals — similar to Rand’s protagonist John Galt — who engage in laissez-faire capitalism. A blockbuster success when released in 1957, “Atlas Shrugged” parodies politicians who respond to financial crises by passing legislation that stymies economic progress. Invariably, such laws, regulations, entitlements, ever-increasing taxes and non-stimulating stimulus incentives worsen economic health. In neverending stupidity, lawmakers then create even more financially destructive boondoggles, thus verifying that eternal truth: Only fools think that repeating what failed once will succeed the second time. Conceived in the name of fairness and equality, but actually in blatant lack of foresight, the cycle of counter-productive legislation causes those who create wealth and employment to throw up their hands and quit, leaving everyone less
well off. The current erosion of this country’s economic stability is prescient in “Atlas Shrugged”: Often, competence in business is punished, while incompetence is rewarded. Recently, Americans have observed with incredulity how deepin-debt industries, among them automobile manufacturers, construction and chemical companies, developers, steel industries, and so forth, continue along the same catastrophic business paths, confident that politicians will bail them out before they go under. They are perceived as victims who deserve government handouts, while productive people are perceived as greedy capitalists who profit illegitimately. All through Rand’s novel, readers are reminded that mankind’s power of reason is the cornerstone of economic wellbeing and growth. Only reasonable businesspeople — those who are unafraid to balance risks against rewards, to act on the basis of their own
courage and resourcefulness instead of depending on governmental cradle-tograve security, to engage competitively with likeminded entrepreneurs, to rise up and rejoin the fight when beaten — can maintain America’s global preeminence. But they cannot do so when hamstrung by politicians, most of whom have never done an honest day’s work. Ayn Rand once said, “We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality.” Apparently, politicians who thrive by prostituting themselves to special interest groups and who have little regard for the insurmountable burden they will leave behind for future generations are evading reality. They share Atlas’ shortcoming: Stupidity. (Daily Corinthian columnist and Oxford resident Jimmy Reed, jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com; 662832-8031, is a newspaper columnist, author and college teacher.)
Romney, Obama yuk it up BY ROGER SIMON The Al Smith dinner in New York is a true test for the modern presidential candidate: Can he deliver hilarious lines written for him by somebody else? The difficulty is in not cracking up, since the candidates are often hearing the lines for the first time themselves. The lines are always satirical and funny. But, as I have had recent cause to point out, “satire is the lie that tells the truth.” So here are the “truths” — spoken in jest, of course — by Mitt Romney and Barack Obama Thursday night in Manhattan. But first, one of the best lines of the dinner, which is sponsored by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, came from the host, Al Smith IV: “Gov. Romney, your father was born in Mexico and had five kids. Are you sure you’re not Catholic?” Smith also pointed out

that all the men on the multi-tiered dais in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel ballroom were dressed in white tie and tails, “Or, as Gov. Romney calls it, business casual.” Romney rose and noted that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was at the dinner and is known as a man with presidential ambitions. “Gov. Cuomo may be getting ahead of himself,” Romney pointed out. “He has put in one term as governor, he has a father who was governor, and he thinks that is enough to run for president!” All his comments were met with laughter, and I will let you insert that response after each of these: “Usually when I get invited to gatherings like this, it’s to be the designated driver.” “My tip for debate prep is, first, refrain from alcohol for 65 years.” “It’s good to have someone you can depend on at
the end of the day. I have my wife, Ann. President Obama has Bill Clinton.” Romney also said the media would probably be unfair to him: “The headlines will be, ‘Obama embraced by Catholics; Romney dines with rich people.’” He then ended on a serious and gracious note, by saying of Obama: “We don’t carry the burden of disliking each other. He has many fine gifts and a wonderful family that would make any man proud. There’s more to life than politics.” Obama then approached the lectern to speak and got a standing ovation. “Everyone please take your seats,” he said, “otherwise Clint Eastwood will yell at them.” Speaking a little longer than Romney, Obama followed with: “I had a lot more energy in the second debate. I was well rested after the nice long nap I had during the first debate.” “Four years ago, I gave

Chris Matthews a thrill up his leg. At the first debate, I gave him a stroke.” “Earlier, I went shopping at stores in Midtown. I understand Gov. Romney went shopping FOR stores in Midtown.” “Unemployment is at the lowest since I took office. I don’t have a joke here. I just wanted to remind people.” Obama also added a serious note, pointing out that “family man and loving father are two titles that matter more than any political ones.” But he got off a great line in preparation for Monday’s final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla. “The next debate is on foreign policy,” Obama said. “Spoiler alert: We got bin Laden.” That’s all, folks!

the amount of reading and writing,” said Childress. “In some cases, it has been somewhat overwhelming. We have had to have discussions as a school, amongst staff, as to what we can do to make sure we don’t overwhelm students.” Tweaks are being made, such as increasing the time the computer lab is open, forming study groups and helping students learn better study skills. The district is also looking at implementing the Cambridge Secondary Program in grades 6 through 8 to better prepare students coming into the program. “This year, our teachers feel our students will do considerably better,” the superintendent said. “For our 10th-grade students, this is going to be their second year with this type of instruction and these types of assessments under their belt.” The program includes the In-
ternational General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), with AICE being the equivalent of advanced placement. AP Calculus continues to be offered. The Cambridge scoring ranges from C to U at the core level, with U being the equivalent of an “F,” and from A-star to U at the extended level. Ninth-grade English results were one of the high points of the first year, with no failing results at either the core or extended level. It is a much tougher examination than students would see under the Subject Area Testing Program. “What we are talking about here is children truly showing they can perform a task or make an application, because everything the students did on this exam in English was either a constructed response or an essay type of question,” said
Childress. “So it’s not something they could read and possibly figure out an answer from a question.” Students had to submit a coursework portfolio that accounted for 50 percent of the exam grade. It included three writing assignments of 500 to 800 words including an informative, analytical or argumentative essay; an imaginative, descriptive or narrative essay; a response to a text or texts selected by the school; and a draft of one of those papers. English Literature and World History also require written portfolios as part of the exam grade. World History proved to be one of the bigger challenges for students, with about 18 percent scoring a “U.” “A lot of those students made a ‘U’ because of their coursework requirements,” said Childress. “They didn’t put forth probably the best possible effort they could have put forth

on their coursework. But that coursework was a totally new experience for them, and that was a very difficult challenge for them to undertake. I think with a year under our belt we’ll see considerably better results.” The World History exam is also different from what students have seen in the past, with constructed responses, short answer and essay questions. “This is the class that probably was the greatest transition for our teachers to make and for our students to become accustomed to,” the superintendent said. The district had a limited number of students participate in the Advanced International Certificate classes, and the results were generally not as positive. “We are also pleased with the AICE exam results,” said Childress, “but we knew we were going to face some challenges
because we were putting these students in these advanced classes without having had the IGCSE classes and the IGCSE preparation.” Other Excellence for All participants in Mississippi are Gulfport and Clarksdale. Gulfport is using a different program, while Clarksdale is also using Cambridge but with a smaller group of students. “We went with a wholeschool model to look at truly changing the culture and the expectations for all children,” said Childress. “That was a decision that was made by the faculty and the staff because they believed that if we were going to raise the rigor and raise the level of instruction to truly prepare our children to compete globally, that all children need to have that experience.” Grants are being made available through the state to entice other schools to implement similar programs.

Restaurant serves whiskey to toddler Associated Press
LONDON — A restaurant chain apologized for accidentally serving alcohol to a toddler in Wales, calling it a case of human error. The BBC reported that 2-year-old Sonny Rees

Taxes go up in 2013 for 163 million workers Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama isn’t talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect
to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election. A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and
hardly anyone in Washington is pushing to extend it. Neither Obama nor Romney has proposed an extension, and it probably wouldn’t get through Congress anyway.
building across the street from the elements is also at the top of the plans. Albright is considering using the spiral staircase from the Corinth Machinery Building in this spacious structure. Two tenants have already committed to open businesses in the block of 100 Wick, but they are not yet being announced. Altogether, the various buildings have 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of space that could become home to businesses. The Wick Street warehouse buildings are perhaps larger than they appear at a glance, extending 100 feet deep. “That’s a big place, 25 by 100, if somebody is selling blue jeans or Tshirts,” said Albright. “You’re talking about a restaurant seating 200 or 300 people.” In the past five weeks, the buildings in the 100 block have been gutted to the brick walls. Most of the roofs will be replaced immediately. “It’s already a substantial investment, and we haven’t driven nail number one,” he said. The largest one at the corner of Wick and Franklin will be the first renovated. With a recessed floor, it will have two levels. They plan to go one-by-one down the block, unless a tenant is interested in a particular slot farther down. The buildings date to the very early 1900s and were more oriented to agriculture than the later warehouse use, accord-
ing to the Simmons family, who previously owned the properties. The two at the corner of Wick and Franklin were built first, with the rest gradually added to fill the block. The floor in the first building, which was used as a livery stable, had to be torn out, revealing an inclined floor underneath with staggered beams to help horses grip as they walked up and out the front of the building. Mule barns and a blacksmith shop were located nearby. Some will recall Norris Hardware occupied space in the block for some time. Albright said the remaining brick walls are solid, and they will get a power wash with ground walnut to refresh their look. The only wall lost was the back corner of the large first space. Albright and Green have visited a number of other downtowns looking for ideas of “which facades we like, what kind of roofs we liked, and how to tie all of these together to use old with the new, to keep the vernaculars right,” he said. Old lumber from the buildings is being saved where possible, and the plan is to use wood for the windows and a barn door look for the entries. In the end, Albright believes it will be a plus for the city. “Stewart and I appreciate history, and we are trying to preserve that,” he said. “We want to make this something the town can be proud of.”
DISTRICT CONTINUED FROM 1A
base.” Albright and Green have collaborated on other downtown properties and had their eyes on Wick Street, with its declining buildings, for some time. “I think it’s a good extension of downtown,” said Albright. “I think this can be a good venue for restaurants or retail space or whatever.” The block offers ample parking space and is just west of the heavy traffic flow of Cass Street. The city removed the area from the Corinth Downtown Historic District a couple of years ago with hope of prompting some development. “That area was and still is dominated by buildings mostly in ruin and beyond reasonable possibility of restoration,” said Robert Gray, chairman of the Corinth Preservation Commission. “The buildings in that area have little individual architectural quality, but the district as a whole definitely has a historic quality.” Albright and Green have also acquired the two-story building across the street at Wick and Taylor and the old KingNorman Wholesale building on the block to the immediate northwest. They hope to put a green space in the vacant spot on the corner adjacent to the King-Norman building, but the first phase of their plans is to renovate the 100 block of Wick. Securing the two-story

Clinton Wood
TISHOMINGO — Funeral services for Clinton C. Wood, 88, are set for 2 p.m. Wednesday at Cutshall Funeral Home Chapel in Iuka with burial at South Crossroads Cemetery. Mr. Wood died Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012, at his home. He was a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II. Survivors include his wife of 68 years, Nellie Wood of Tishomingo; one son, Danny Wood (Charlotte) of Iuka; two daughters, Pat Oliver (James) of Cherokee, Ala., and Brenda Sellers of Iuka; one brother, Lawrence Wood (Margaret) of Iuka; three grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Wood; two sisters, Ruby Carlisle and Bertha Odle; and a brother, Leonard Wood. Bro. Tony Curtis will officiate the service. Visitation is today from 5 until 9 p.m.
tributed $3,000 to Corinth/ Alcorn County Excel By 5 representatives Susan O’Connell and Bobby Capps. “Our main goal is to help children ages 0-5 realize their full potential and get ready for school,” said O’Connell. “We will use this money in a lot of different ways to meet those goals.” A health fair at the county fair — sponsored by Excel By 5 — was a huge success, according to O’Connell. Around 150 children took part in the health fair held in the West Room of the Crossroads Arena. The Department of Human Services was presented a check for $1,500. “This is an honor and it will go to a good cause,” said Debbie Gann, Area Social Work Supervisor with DHS. Gann said the money will be used in two possible ways.
One is a Christmas party for the foster children, while another is playground equipment for the side yard of the DHS office. Fair organizers also gave $250 each to the Magnolia Car Club and Tri-State Flywheels Antique Tractor Club for their help. During the five days, over 9,400 attended the fair. “The weather was perfect and we came away with a lot of new ideas and improvements for next year,” said fair board member Sandy Mitchell. “Our total focus has been the children and people of Alcorn County,” added board member Danny Turner. “We aren’t in the money making business, but we were able to make enough to ensure the fair will be back for a third year … without the arena board, arena staff and volunteers there is no way that would be possible.”

nancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month in October 1988. “When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them,” said Reagan. “This month recognizes the loss so many parents experience around the United States and around the the world.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the year 2000, 15.6 percent of the pregnancies in the United States ended in either a miscarriage or stillbirth. The CDC also indicates that in 2003 the number of lives births in the U.S. was 4,093,000; of those births,

change in what is being taught and how it is taught due to the moving to the state standards of Common Core. Students will now be assessed on standards that are far more rigorous and much more applied than in the past. Teachers will need to match the instruction of students to the higher levels that come with the new method. Daggett will cover why the changes are being made, the impact they will have on curriculum, and ways schools can develop and use a blueprint to meet challenges. “I encourage all interested parents to attend,” said Williams. “I know several from Corinth will be going, but I hope we can get a crowd to show up.” The forum — provided by the Toyota Education Enhancement Endowment Fund at CREATE Foundation — is open to the public free of charge.

Former KHS standout earns GSC award BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
Five years removed from Kossuth High School, Andrew Jones is making a name for himself. Now a senior at Delta State University, the kicking specialist is racking up awards for his performance on the football field. Jones, a 2008 graduate of Kossuth, was named Special Teams Player of the Week in the Gulf South Conference following his performance against Tarleton State Uni-
versity on Oct. 6. The award is the third for Jones, and the first of the 2012 season according to a press release from the conference. Jones kicked a 33-yard field goal on the final play of the game in the 38-35 win. He also punted five times for 235 yards with a long of 62 and buried one inside the TSU 20. On the year, Jones has racked up 29 punts for 1,165 yards for a 40.2 average. His season long is 65 and seven of
his boots have been downed inside the opponent’s 20yard line. Jones has handled the majority of the kickoffs in the Statesmen’s seven games, averaging 58.6 yards on 28 kicks. In addition he’s connected on 12 extra-point kicks and is 3-for-5 on field goals with one miss a result of a block. At Kossuth, Jones played on all three sides as a receiver, defensive back, punter and kicker. He was named the Aggies’ Most Valuable
Player following the 2008 season. While with the Aggies, Jones was named All-State Punter during his sophomore season in 2006. He was also tabbed Super 22 in Division 1-3A as a kicker and wide receiver. Delta State dropped a 5941 decision at Valdosta (Ga.) State University on Saturday. Jones and the Statesmen (34) are back on the road this weekend at the University of Indianapolis. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.

Murray, Minter, Christy earn weekly honors Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and LSU linebacker Kevin Minter are the Southeastern Conference’s offensive and defensive players of the week. The SEC also awarded Florida punter Kyle Christy special teams honors on Monday. Murray completed 30 of 38 passes for a career-high 427 yards and four touchdowns in a win at Kentucky. He set the school record for completion percentage. Minter led the Tigers with 12 tackles, including a sack, and had an interception in LSU’s win at Texas A&M. Christy averaged a Florida singlegame record 54.3 yards on seven punts in a win over South Carolina. Vanderbilt center Joe Townsend is offensive lineman of the week and Texas A&M end Damontre Moore received recognition on the defensive line. Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper is freshman of the week.
The old weight room now serves as the home dressing room, which includes 104 wooden lockers.
If the Mississippi High School Activities Association allowed recruiting, Doug Jones would have some super selling points. In addition to putting together a 7-2 worksheet in his first head-coaching gig, the Corinth High School football coach has a new look and impressive ... as the kids say ... “crib.” While there’s still some touching up and minor tweaks still on the work order, the renovations at Warrior Stadium II are all but complete. “We’ve probably got the nicest facilities in the state, period,” said Jones. Athletic Director Chris Coleman, who arrived at CHS in 1998, agreed. “It’s top notch,” said
Coleman. Despite a school that opened up in 1992, CHS has been busting at the seems in recent years. Enrollment increased so that the athletic programs were bumped to a higher classification — based on the number of students 9-12 every two years — for the first time since 1993-94. The Warriors had also outgrown the vacillates at the football stadium that opened up in 1994, prompting renovations and additions that began following the completion of the 2011 football season. The result was a huge all-sports weight room, moving the home dressing room and adding a dressing room, concession stand Please see CHS | 11A
Improved Rebels eye bowl possibilities Associated Press
OXFORD — One year removed from a 10-loss season, Mississippi has a chance to qualify for a bowl game. Not that first-year coach Hugh Freeze will entertain any postseason talk. “We don’t talk about that,” Freeze said. “That’s a no-no for me.” Still, it’s not a particularly far-fetched scenario. The Rebels (4-3, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) are coming off an open week and have five games remaining in five weeks starting with a road game against Arkansas on Saturday. Figure out a way to win two, and a bowl game possibly awaits. Ole Miss got a big psychological boost after beating
Auburn 41-20 at VaughtHemingway Stadium. The victory broke a 16-game SEC losing streak that dated more than two years and was further affirmation that the Rebels are headed in the right direction. “It’s a big confidence boost,” running back Jeff Scott said. “We needed that.” Ole Miss’ schedule — like most in the SEC this time of year — is unforgiving. The best opportunities for wins are likely against Arkansas and a home game against Vanderbilt on Nov. 10. The other three games are against teams currently in the national rankings — Mississippi State, Georgia and LSU. The Rebels are certainly a work in progress, but have consistently shown an ability
to score points. Freeze’s spread offense — which is heavy on quick option runs, short passes and the occasional trick play — has been a welcome change. Ole Miss is averaging 32.7 points per game and ranks in the SEC’s top half in both rushing and passing offense. Bo Wallace has thrown for 1,371 yards, nine touchdowns and eight interceptions. He’s also been a surprisingly effective runner, gaining 225 yards on the ground for five touchdowns. He’s even caught a touchdown pass on a trick play. Scott is the fifth-leading rusher in the SEC at 93.7 yards per game. The 5-foot-7, 170-pound back has had a breakout season in Freeze’s offense. He’s
not big, but has thrived when running the option with Wallace. If the defense guesses wrong, Scott can accelerate for big gains in a hurry. “It’s opened up the defense and I’m just running downhill in open space,” Scott said. “I think it’s pretty good for me.” The Ole Miss defense has also improved after being a sore spot during the first month of the season. The Rebels gave up a whopping 66 points and 676 yards in a loss to Texas back on Sept. 15, but have been much more competitive and physical since that embarrassing setback. Freeze said he wanted to make sure that the players understood that it was a “bye week” and not an “off week.”

and public restrooms on the visitors’ side. “The visitors’ dressing room is nicer than most home ones,” said Jones. The new locker room boasts 104 wooden lockers. The individual areas are such that players can use the bottom storage unit to sit on. The Corinth soccer, track, cross-country and tennis programs will also make use of the dressing and storage facilities on the visitors’ side. A concession stand that faces away from the football field will be put to use during home tennis matches. Moving the visitors’ dressing room opened up a training area and allowed for the addition of six showers, six restroom stalls and five urinals in the home facility. What was once the home locker room is being converted into a media room. In addition, the fieldhouse now includes an industrial washer and dryer. The new additions totaled some 8,000 square feet. The new weight room is around 4,200 and includes state of the art equipment. “There’s not a nicer one around,” said Jones, who was an assistant at 6A Madison Central before coming to CHS. The weight room will be used for all sports at Corinth High School. The setup is such that it can be accessed from other doors, allowing the football locker room to be closed off. The equipment includes 12 double-rack stations. Athletes can bench, squat, incline, power clean, dip, pull-up and perform about any other activity at one of the 24 units. “We can have 100 kids at a time in the same environment,” said Jones. “I fell it’s as good as any facility in the state. “We will see the benefits of the weight room in the near future.”

Today in History 4004 BC — According to 17th century divine James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh, and Dr. John Lightfoot of Cambridge, the world was created on this day, a Sunday, at 9 a.m. 1641 — Rebellion in Ireland. Catholics, under Phelim O’Neil, rise against the Protestants and massacred men, women and children to the number of 40,000. 1783 — Virginia emancipates slaves who fought for independence during the Revolutionary War. 1861 — President Abraham Lincoln suspends the writ of habeas corpus in Washington, D.C. for all military-related cases. 1918 — President Wilson feels satisfied that the Germans are accepting his armistice terms and agrees to transmit their request for an armistice to the Allies. 1929 — The first transcontinental air service begins from New York to Los Angeles. 1942 — The Western Task Force, destined for North Africa, departs from Hampton Roads, Va. 1952 — The Nobel Prize for Medicine is awarded to Ukranian-born microbiologist Selmart A. Waksman for his discovery of an effective treatment of tuberculosis. 1973 — A U.N. sanctioned cease-fire officially ends the Yom Kippur war between Israel and Syria. 1983 — A truck filled with explosives, driven by a Moslem terrorist, crashes into the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. The bomb kills 237 Marines and injures 80.
Expect trick-or-treaters to visit before dark DEAR ABBY: Since Halloween is nearly here, I have a question about trick-or-treating. Last year on Halloween I was sitting down for an early dinner that was planned for 5 p.m. so we wouldn’t be disturbed by trick-ortreaters. Suddenly the doorbell rang. When I answered, I was bombarded with requests for candy from three boys who live down the street. It was still light outside. I told them to come back later, when I wasn’t eating dinner. I wanted to teach them that they shouldn’t overextend the holiday and disrupt other people’s lives. An hour later I received a call from the boys’ mother scolding me for sending them away. Was I wrong not to
give them candy and ask them to come back later? — TREAT CHEATAbigail ER IN Van Buren C O N CORD, Dear Abby CALIF. DEAR TREAT CHEATER: I think so. The boys’ mother may not have wanted them out after dark, which is why she started them on their rounds early. Halloween is the day for trick-or-treating, and part of the “treat” is seeing the children’s excitement and their costumes. To have expected quiet with kids in the neighborhood was unrealistic. DEAR ABBY: I am a 14-year-old girl and still
DEAR ABBY: We have two family weddings soon. One of our cousins has Down syndrome, among other medical problems. He’s a grown man, but he has the mental capacity and manners of a 7-year-old. His parents don’t discipline him and he is out of control. He screams and talks loudly and will jump around on the dance floor and run into couples while they are trying to dance. His parents bring him to special occasions, even when it’s “adults only.” The weddings will have receptions afterward and adult-only dances. This family has the attitude that if he isn’t invited, then they won’t go. How
do we make it clear that he is not welcome? What do you think? — NERVOUS IN UTAH DEAR NERVOUS: Regardless of your cousin’s age, because of his parents’ inability to control his behavior he should not be invited to the weddings. Because they have the attitude that if he is not invited they won’t go, that’s their choice. Make your wishes clear, and your problem will be solved. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Dear Abby appears daily in the Daily Corinthian. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creator’s Syndicate
If you look very closely at outward appearances, you’ll see the start of a crack. It’s just something that happens as the sun journeys through the early degrees of Scorpio. Also note that as comfortable as you may be with your view of things, your comfort level doesn’t make the view accurate. Outward appearances can lie or tell only part of the story. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because of your warrior spirit, you’re willing to fight when it’s right, meaningful and purposeful to do so. Fighting for no reason, however, is a waste.
That’s why you’ll settle a dispute once and for all. TAURUS (April 20May 20). You don’t think you need help, but that’s because you haven’t been down this road, and you don’t know entirely what the job entails. If you’re offered help, take it. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You will be issued a challenge. The reason this comes to you is because you’ve already proved yourself. In a sense, this journey began long before you accepted the quest. CANCER (June 22July 22). You might have to change a plan, postpone the action or break a date. Doing this decisively and as early as pos-
sible will keep relationships in good standing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will work with a worthy partner and be filled with enthusiasm as you speculate about what you might create together. This kind of excitement makes all selfconsciousness disappear. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As good as you are at scientific guessing, this just isn’t a fortuitous time to make assumptions. Gather information and wait as long as possible to make any decisions or declarations. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Can you keep a secret? You’ll be asked to do so, and it won’t be easy.

can do to make your life lovelier won’t cost a dime because you’ll be rearranging your existing resources. You’ll need plenty of mental and physical energy to pull it off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’ll be judged by your ability to show up where and when you said you would. You’ll need more time to get around. Don’t let traffic and other considerations ruin your record for promptness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be unofficially assessed by a higher-up or a potential partner. Getting the answers right doesn’t matter half as much as approaching problems with a can-do spirit.

Mississippians smoke less after ’09 tax increase Associated Press
JACKSON — Higher cigarette taxes may be helping to drive down smoking in Mississippi. Cigarette consumption fell to 67.9 packs per person in Mississippi in 2011. That’s the lowest total since record-keeping began, The Clarion-Ledger reports. From 2008 to 2011, the sale of cigarette packs in Mississippi decreased by more than 26 percent. Both trends, experts said, can be partially attributed to 2009’s combined $1.02 per pack increase in cigarette taxes.
The state raised taxes by 50 cents per pack in May 2009, a month after the federal government raised taxes 62 cents per pack. Dr. Robert McMillen, an associate professor of psychology at Mississippi State University, provides tobacco surveillance and evaluation services to the Center for Mississippi Health Policy. “It’s very suggestive that some of these policies were at least partly responsible for (decreased) smoking rates,� he said. Still, Mississippians consumed 68 packs per capita in 2011, above the
national average of 48. Surveys don’t clearly indicate that the roughly 25 percent of Mississippians who smoke is falling. McMillen said some may be smoking fewer cigarettes without quitting entirely. “People smoke less, and people are making ... quit attempts that last for a few days but are not sustained, so they show up in surveys as smokers,� McMillen said. Roy Hart, director of the office of tobacco control, at the Mississippi State Department of Health said the economic downturn could also be a factor. He
said sales are increasing for products that provide cheaper alternatives to cigarettes, such as chewing tobacco, cigars and smokeless tobacco. “(The products) aren’t taxed at the same level of cigarettes; therefore, they are not captured in the rate,� hart said. Jackson gas station owner Hiren Arora said his business hasn’t suffered from a drop in cigarette sales, but he has noticed a shift toward new, cheaper tobacco products or cheaper cigarettes. For example, Camel Snus, launched in the United
States in 2006, is a smokeless oral tobacco pouch which doesn’t require spitting. The product goes for $2.95, and Arora said sales have increased considerably since 2009. Though adult smoking rates may not be changing, surveys continue to show declines in youth smoking. In 2011, 19 percent of Mississippi high school students and less than 6 percent of middle school students smoked, McMillen said. That compares to 20 percent of high school students and 9 percent of middle schoolers in 2008. Health advocates say
they’d like to see Mississippi raise its cigarette tax rate again. Sandra Shelson, executive director for the Partnership for a Healthy Mississippi, said a hike could help lower state cigarette consumption to the national average. The idea is for taxes to strain smokers’ pockets so much that, when combined with health benefits, they will quit. “The mindset of most (anti-tobacco) advocates is that the tax will have the intended outcome of reducing the number of people who can’t afford to smoke,� Shelson said.
get child care grants have agreed to repay about $7,700 that a Mississippi Department of Human Services audit said was misappropriated. The Starkville Daily News quotes City Attorney Chris Latimer as saying MDHS found a failure to itemize how the Brickfire Project was
spending money from two city grants. The Brickfire Project is to repay $1,000 a month to the city during this fiscal year, and to lose just under $2,699 of next year’s $5,000 annual grants from Starkville. Starkville will pay MDHS about $214 a month for three years.
State Briefs SemiSouth closure to cost $60 million STARKVILLE (AP) — The closure of a Mississippi semiconductor firm will cost a California company $60 million. Power Integrations of San Jose, Calif., says it will write off its 2010 investment in SemiSouth, a Starkville, Miss., firm that’s closing. SemiSouth’s 90 employees will be laid off. SemiSouth, which makes silicon carbide semiconductors, announced its closure last week. The company was founded by two Mississippi State University professors and rents space in the university’s research park. It has been highlighted as one of Mississippi’s only homegrown technology firms. MSU owns the rights to some of company technology, and a university official said last week that the school would seek to retain some of the employees. Power Integrations CEO Balu Balakrishnan says the loss is “disappointingâ€? but says risks are inherent in the company’s business. Â

Sgt. Jones, Pvt. Huff: One man can make a difference BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger
We‘ve all seen it before. Your team is down by a couple of touchdowns late in the 4th quarter and the naysayers are all headed for the parking lot to beat the traffic. Then one player makes an incredible catch in the end-zone and immediately the team is inspired. The remaining fans began to cheer and the feeling in the stadium is electric and in a series of incredible plays the team comes from behind and wins the game. Such scenes have happened on the battlefield as well, including here at Corinth. On the second day of the battle, Oct. 4, 1862, things were not looking so good over on the Union right. The Confederate division of Brig. Gen. Martin Green had attacked the Northerners on either side of Battery Powell. Several regiments were driven back, some even broke and ran. Eleven cannons were captured and it looked like the whole right flank was about to crumble under the onslaught. Lt. Lorenzo Immell of the 12th Wisconsin Battery was in desperate straits. The four artillery batteries to his left had been silenced and his infantry support was wavering. One of his four guns was disabled, but the three remaining guns were firing double rounds of canister — a tin can filled with 27 iron balls the size of walnuts. “The enemy still advanced in great numbers,” recalled Immell, “driving back our front line amid the most terrific firing all
The 6th Missouri Infantry flag carried by Pvt. William Huff is displayed at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. along the front line.” Immell’s men fired the cannon at the unheard of rate of six shots per minute. Of all the men fighting for their lives amid the three remaining guns, one man stood out. Sgt. Samuel E. Jones, commander of the two guns on the left, was giving it all he had. Another sergeant saw what was going on and yelled out, “Lord, boys, look at Jones! Three cheers for Jones!” The 12th Wisconsin began to cheer, hollering “Huzzah! Huzzah!” and raising their hats in the air. In a flash, the infantry on either side of the guns took up the call and yelled themselves hoarse. The response was contagious. Men who had turned and run heard the commotion and returned to the line to continue the fight. A battle line that had seemed about to break became as strong as steel and there was no longer any doubt who would prevail on that part of the field. Jones’ singular act of bravery and determi-
nation had inspired hundreds, if not thousands. On the opposite side of the field, the fortunes of the Confederates took a turn for the worse. The resurging Federals stopped the Southern attack and began a push to reclaim the lost ground. The eleven pieces of artillery were recaptured and it seemed the Confederate line was in danger of being sent tumbling back in a rout. Several hundred yards away from the 12th Wisconsin were the Confederate foot soldiers of the 6th Missouri Infantry. They had taken the earthwork known as Battery Powell, but there were no reinforcements and it was impossible to hold on without help. They began to break under the pressure. Once again, a single man inspired his comrades when all seemed darkest. Pvt. William Huff was the flag bearer of the 6th and didn’t carry a weapon. His sole job was to keep aloft the flag or colors, the heart and pride

A drawing shows Union infantry inspired by Sgt. Samuel E. Jones coming to the aid of an artillery battery in distress during Battle of Corinth. of the regiment. Six men were specifically assigned to protect Huff and were known as the color guard. Why so much emphasis placed on a scrap of red cloth and gold fringe? A Civil War battlefield was a noisy place. Orders for the troops could rarely be heard if they were shouted out, so the orders were amplified by the use of drums and bugles. Even these could be drowned out in the din of the fighting, so men were told to keep an eye on the flag. If the flag moved forward, the line moved forward. If it fell back, then the line moved to the rear as well. The color bearer and the color guard were the bravest of the brave. They had to be, for if the color bearer panicked and ran away, the whole regiment was apt to follow. During the worst of the fight at Corinth, the 6th Missouri fell back in confusion, but not Pvt. Huff. He held the flag high even when a bullet hit him in
the left thigh, followed quickly by bullets to his left arm, right arm, right thigh and lower leg. He refused to drop the flag, even when it was stained with his blood. He was assisted to the rear, but he had done his duty. The flag was safe and the regiment would fight again under the red banner. What happened to these two heroes? Sgt. Jones was promoted to the position of senior second lieutenant in the battery and made it through the war without a scratch. William Huff may have saved his flag, but the man himself became a prisoner of war at Corinth. He was too desperately wounded to be taken away when the army retreated and was left behind in a field hospital. As bad as he was wounded he would return to the regiment to fight again, this time wearing the uniform of an officer. “Promoted for gallantry at Corinth,” 2nd Lieuten-
ant Huff was wounded in the shoulder and captured again at Vicksburg, wounded in the mouth at Franklin, Tennessee and captured a third time near Mobile at the close of the war. As for the flag he was carrying, it is on permanent display in the visitor center, and yes, you can still see his bloodstains. Somebody once said that courage is not the absence of fear, just the ability to master fear. There were a great many men who mastered their fear at Corinth, but few who had such an impact on others. It just goes to show what two determined men can do when they refuses to give into despair. They can still inspire us today.
