Choctaw schools encourage attendance Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • On the web www.choctawplaindealer.com From press reports Choctaw County School District has been strongly encouraging student attendance this school year. Average daily attendance is directly related to the funding every district receives each year. Attendance during the months of September and October is critical to the amount of funding each school district receives. Student attendance is also an extremely important factor in the academic success of students. Each school within the district implemented an attendance campaign for the month of September in order to increase student attendance. This campaign will continue during the month of October as well. The results of this campaign have been extremely positive so far. There was an increase in the district’s attendance rate for the month of September compared to September of last school year. A c k e r m a n Elementary School had the highest attendance rate for the month with 97%. We encourage all students and parents to make student attendance a priority. See below and pages 11,12,13.

Paid Obituary Letters to the editor Deviant Behavior in Public What is this all about, males and sometimes even females, going about in public with their clothes part of the way or all the way down around their groin? What are they trying to say by this behavior, that they are "hot" and are ready to commit fornication with anyone in the pub- Page 4 lic that is willing? In my opinion, this practice is not only a supreme example of a very base low life culture, but it is outright stupidity. What are these people going to say if they suddenly die and stand before God with their breeches down like that? Think about it! Jimmy Mangrum Changes at Editorial Roundup An easy option to paying a fine Editorial by Jack Ryan Publisher Entreprise McComb Journal Last week the Clarion-Ledger reported on a lawsuit that claims the city of Jackson has been illegally jailing poor people, sometimes for months at a time, for failure to pay fines from misdemeanor convictions. The lawsuit is only one side of an argument. But since most small towns in Mississippi have a sizable percentage of lowincome residents, it’s worth noting that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in 1983 that jailing people just because they don’t have the money to pay a fine is unconstitutional. The case was Bearden vs. Georgia. A man who pleaded guilty to burglary and theft got put on proba- tion with a $750 fine. Before he could pay the full amount, he got laid off from his job. According to court records, he tried to find other work but failed. He had no other assets. A judge revoked the probation and sentenced the man to jail for failure to pay the fine. But the Supreme Court said there are constitutional limits on a state’s right to put someone in prison for failure to pay a fine. The Bearden ruling said: “If the probationer has willfully refused to pay the fine or restitution when he has the resources to pay or has failed to make sufficient bona fide efforts to seek employment or borrow money to pay, the state is justified in using imprisonment as a sanction to enforce collection. But if the probationer has made all reasonable bona fide efforts to pay the fine and yet cannot do so Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • On the web www.choctawplaindealer.com Pioneer Due to a conversion from Pioneer Community Hospital of Choctaw to Choctaw Regional Medical Center and the implementation of electronic health records (EHR), the administration department at CRMC has intentionally held from mailing financial statements. Our efforts to do so has been to ensure all statements are as accurate as possible. Effective immediately, all persons receiving healthcare at through no fault of his own, it is fundamentally unfair to revoke probation automatically without considering whether adequate alternative methods of punishing the probationer are available.” To translate the legalese of the ruling, the Supreme Court said that if someone can afford to pay a fine but refuses to do it, jail is a legitimate alternative. But if someone tries to get the money and can’t, a judge must consider other punishments before jail. As anyone with even a little knowledge of court systems know, there is a frequently used alternative to jailing someone who hasn’t or can’t pay a fine: community service. This often involves work like picking up litter on streets or in parks, or working at a non-profit agency. Each hour or day that a defendant works pays off a certain amount of the fine. An example of this is in cases handled by McComb city court. Choctaw Regional Medical Center and its affiliates will begin receiving statements relative to each individuals care. If you receive a statement and feel it is incorrect, please contact our business office at (662) 285-9481. We apologize for the delay and will be timely in mailing statements going forward. Sincerely yours, Jamie Rodgers, FACHE Chief Executive Officer/Administrator Choctaw Regional Medical Center Defendants there who plead guilty (or are convicted) and must pay a fine can work it off instead. A day’s worth of work reduces the fine by $48. In many jurisdictions, any convict whose punishment is a fine can work off the entire amount rather than pay. The Supreme Court’s Bearden ruling actually encourages this, and it’s certainly less expensive for any town or county to take care of fines through community service than to jail people for misdemeanors. The Clarion-Ledger said Jackson prosecutors call their system “pay or stay.” The lawsuit describes the city’s practices as a “modernday debtors’ prison. The solution to any problems exposed by this lawsuit is obvious: Ramp up the community service. With municipal budgets pinched, there is plenty of work to be done. Picking up litter is not the ideal job, but it beats sitting in jail. Rearing not raising children in today’s world Our society places way too much faith in Facebook and social media in general. Since when did Facebook/social media determine what caliber of mother one is? Sure, I am still at that stage in my life where I do actually care what others think of me. Even though in all reality their opinions do not matter, it still bothers me if another thinks ill of my character. I do hope to overcome this flaw and hopefully sooner than later. McCain Mothers, we are not defined by how many photos we put on Facebook of our children. We are not defined by how we handle our threenag- er's meltdown in Vowell's. We are not defined by how many cameras we have in one hand trying to capture a special moment. I have learned in the 3 short years as a mother that the most insignificant moments to us parents are the most significant moments to our children. Joseph and I often take Eli down the road passed our house to see Mr. Holton's cows. Eli is not really interested in the cows as he is the barn cats. Every time we pass Mr. Holton's cows, Eli asks to stop and we usually do. My neighbors and anybody that drove by our home last Friday probably thinks I am a fool because Eli and I were outside playing Power Rangers. You should have seen the look on his face when I started reciting some of the lines in the tv show. Little moments are big moments for our little ones. I am no expert on rearing children and I never will be.

FCA had trouble moving the ball in its 25-0 home loss to Noxapater on Friday night, managing just 85 yards of total offense and not getting inside the opponent's 30-yard line all night. While the loss dropped French Camp to 4-5 overall and 3-2 in Region 3-1A play and pretty much eliminated the Panthers from finishing first or second in the league, French Camp still has a great opportunity to finish in third and earn a spot in the MHSAA Class 1A State Football Playoffs. After visiting Durant on No. 5 Brooks Warren makes a defense stop for the Panthers. Friday, the Panthers host Ethel on Oct 30 and then visit Leake County on Nov. 6 in a game which could decide third and fourth place in PHOTO CReDiTS: PAige RABuN Region 3-1A. Corrie Witt rushed for 24 yards on five carries to lead French Camp against Noxapater, while Luke McKnight rushed for 22 yards on eight attempts and hit on two-of-five passes for 18 yards. Jok Nebk made both of those receptions. Senior Brooks Warren led FCA with 12 tackles, while Kajo Musa recorded six, Colin Perry and Isaiah Miller five each, and Aaron Witt and Skylyr Effler four apiece. Maher Angelo picked off a pass for French Camp, while Corrie Witt recovered a fumble. Vonta Woods put the Tigers up 6-0 with at 14yard run, while Keonte Daniels scored on a 1-yard run to make it 12-0 at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Daniels scored on a 1-yard run and Woods broke free for a 70-yard scoring run to make the final 25-0. The Panthers schedule has been tough the last three weeks. After falling to Starkville Academy 26-13 on Oct. 2, FCA lost to Nanih Waiya 32-21 the following week and Noxapater 25-0 last week. Co-Lin takes 31-30 OT win over No. 7 Gulf Coast From school reports The Co-Lin defense stopped Gulf Coast at the goal line on the potential game-winning two-point conversion to upset the No. 7 ranked Bulldogs 31-30 in overtime Thursday at Stone Stadium.

"Our kids made a great play at the end and they got penetration," Co-Lin head coach Glenn Davis said. "We got to the running back before he could jump over the top. Our kids are 2-0 in overtime and they know what to expect." With 2:42 left in the fourth quarter, Co-Lin took a 24-17 lead when Kruzcek hit wide receiver Dayall Harris on a 12-yard strike.

And when the Choctaw County High School head coach saw visiting Philadelphia line up to go for a twopoint conversion in the second overtime in attempt to win the game, he used it. "We had the ball first in the second overtime so we felt like if they scored they may try and go for two points, so I wanted to save my timeout until them," Dillinger said. "We called it, just to make sure we were set up correctly." They were. Philadelphia tried a power play up the middle that the interior of the CCHS defense stopped short of the goal line to give the Chargers a crucial 4140 double overtime win in the important Region 5-3A matchup. "It is definitely a confidence builder for us," Dillinger said of his Chargers who are now 2-7 overall and 12 in league play. "Philadelphia is a good team year in and year out. It's not like they are an up and comer, they are a solid program. It was a big win for our confidence." While previous league loses to Kemper County (38-7) and Forest (29-28) make it unlikely the Chargers can finish in the top two in the region and host a firstround game, CCHS does have a clear path to third place in the region and a spot in the MHSAA Class 3A State Football Playoffs if they can beat Southeast Lauderdale on Friday and Choctaw Central on Oct. 30. Both games are on the road. "We kind of control our own destiny as far as third place is concerned," Dillinger said. "We are going to try and finish as high as we can." The Chargers held a 27-15 lead going into the fourth quarter before Philadelphia made a furious comeback. Malik Hickman scored on a 10-yard run for the visiting Tornadoes and then Cortney Smith ran the ball in from 6 yards out to tie the game. Philly's kick failed on the first touchdown and a two-point conversion was turned away by CCHS after the final score of regulation. Philly got the ball first in the initial overtime and scored on a 10-yard run by Smith with Garrett Threadgill knocking through the extra point to make it 34-27. CCHS responded with a 15-yard scoring pass from Woody Vowell to Austin Telano. The kick by David Ramirez tied the game at 34-34. The second overtime saw Vowell score on a 1-yard run with Ramirez making it 4134. Philly responded with a 10-yard run by Smith, before CCHS made the big defensive stop to end the game and take the win. Vowell had a strong game for the Chargers, hitting on 10-of-21 passes for 191 yards and three touchdowns and also scoring two rushing touchdowns. "The last few games have been his best ones," Dillinger said of his quarterback. "He has really come around and is doing a good job for us." Danny Woodard had a big game as well as he rushed the ball nine times for 50 yards and caught three passes for 68 yards. CCHS led 14-7 after one quarter of play. After Philly took a 7-0 lead, Choctaw County countered with a 41yard scoring pass from Vowell to Danny Woodard and a 47yard fumble return by Mello Woodard to take the lead after one quarter of play.

After the Rebels (5-2) scored the game's first 14 points, the Tigers (60) recorded 31 unanswered points en route to the game's final tally. Treadwell caught a touchdown pass and also threw for one, a 68yarder to Quincy Adeboyejo on the second play of the game. Junior quarterback Chad Kelly was 33-of47 for 372 yards and two touchdowns. The two combined to set a school record with 440 passing yards on the day. Kelly got off to a hot start, going 7-for-7 for 100 yards and one touchdown on the first two drives. The Buffalo, New York native threw for over 300 yards for the fifth time this season, passing Eli Manning and Bo Wallace for the most 300+ yard games in a single season in school history. Behind Treadwell, Cody Core caught six passes for 83 yards. Adeboyejo and Damore'ea Stringfellow had one touchdown catch apiece, while ending the game with receiving yards of 94 and 72, respectively. On defense, senior Mike Hilton led Ole Miss with a team-high 11 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception. Memphis was paced by quarterback Paxton Lynch, who threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns. The Tigers recorded 491 total yards of offense and were able to keep drives alive by going 12-for-20 on third down. Ole Miss used a little trickery on the second play of the game to take an early lead. After a Kelly 7-yard pass to Treadwell on the opening play, the quarterback found this leading receiver again. However, the ball was thrown behind the line of scrimmage, allowing Treadwell to find a wide open Adeboyejo down the sideline. The speedy slot receiver sprinted into the end zone untouched on the 68yard double pass; just 20 seconds into the contest, the Rebels claimed a touchdown advantage.

East Central takes 47-17 Homecoming win over Southwest Page 9 From school reports Behind four rushing touchdowns from freshman running back Tredarian Gamble, the East Central Community College Warriors made their 2015 Homecoming crowd a happy one with a 47-17 win over the Southwest Mississippi Community College Bears Oct. 17 in Bailey Stadium in Decatur. East Central improved to 6-2 overall on the season. The Warriors are now 3-2 in Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges South Division play. Southwest fell to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the South Division. It is the Warriors’ best start since 1991. East Central had already clinched its first winning season since 2001. The two teams combined for 43 points in a high-scoring first half. The visiting Bears jumped out to an early lead on its first drive of the game on a 45-yard touchdown pass from Casey Haygood to Shuntez Smith. The point after by Reed James was good, and with 9:13 left in the first quarter Southwest led 7-0. The 10-play drive covered 78 yards. Less than two minutes later, East Central Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • On the web www.choctawplaindealer.com tied the game on a nineyard run by freshman running back Tredarian Gamble. Freshman kicker Aaron Garrett kicked the point after to tie the score at 7-7. The key play of the six-play, 75-yard drive was a 47yard pass from sophomore quarterback Jesse Hosket of French Camp Academy to sophomore wide receiver Kabion Ento that put the Warriors in business on the Southwest nineyard line. The Warriors quickly grabbed the lead on Southwest’s next possession. Defensive linemen Jerry Magee out of Collins High School and Jadarius Ceasar out of Paul Bryant High School in Tuscaloosa (Ala.) hit Bear quarterback Haygood as he scrambled in the pocket, forcing the ball into the air where it was caught in the end zone by sophomore defensive lineman Derek Mahaffey of Oxford High School (Ala.). Garrett’s kick was no good and the Warriors were up 13-7 with 7:08 still remaining in the first quarter. Southwest came right back after the turnover and marched 56 yards to the Warrior nineyard line before settling for a 27-yard field goal by James to pull within 13-10. Gamble extended the Warriors’ lead early in the second quarter on a five-yard run. Garrett’s PAT was good and the Warriors led 20-10. Gamble set up his touchdown with a 36yard run one play earlier. The Bears answered again, this time on a 14play, 75-yard drive ending with a five-yard touchdown pass from Haygood to Ravian Pierce. Reed’s PAT was good and with 3:39 left in the first half, the East Central lead was 20-17. The first-half offensive output was not over however. With just over three minutes left on the clock, the Warriors took the Southwest kickoff and drove 43 yards, with Gamble scoring his third touchdown of the first half on an 11-yard scamper with 43 seconds remaining. After Garrett’s kick, East Central took a 27-17 lead to the locker room. East Central struck quickly coming out of the locker room. On the second play of the third quarter, freshman defensive back Isiah Thomas, a product of Madison Central High School, picked off a Haygood pass at the Bears’ 45-yard line and returned it to the 11. Two plays later, Gamble was in the end zone for the fourth time on the afternoon, and Garrett’s PAT gave East Central a 34-17 lead. Neither team would score the rest of the third quarter. The Warriors moved in front 41-17 on the first play of the final quarter on a 41-yard strike from Hosket to Devin McIntosh. The sophomore wide receiver out of Amory High School made a diving catch of the Hosket toss at the goal line for the score. Garrett’s point after was good. East Central would get on the scoreboard one more time following an Austin Balthazor interception of a Haygood pass. The sophomore safety out of Seminary High School returned the interception to the Southwest 21. Four plays later, sophomore quarterback Trey Willis out of Forest Hill High School found freshman wide receiver Noah Nix, a product of West Lauderdale High School, in the corner of the end zone for the score. Garrett’s point after kick was no good and the Warriors led 4717 with 11:17 to go in the game. Gamble finished the game with 131 yards rushing on 19 carries and the four scores. He had 116 of those yards Championship Game will be played the following Saturday, Nov. 7. Featuring two of the NJCAA’s top scoring teams, Thursday’s Top 10 battle between EMCC and NWCC got off to a somewhat slow start offensively until freshman running back Isaiah Wright broke off an 87-yard touchdown run with 4:06 remaining in the opening quarter to put the homestanding Lions on the scoreboard first. The former Florence High School product later dove over from 1 yard out at the 12:19 mark of the second quarter for his team-leading 12th touchdown of the year. he 85-yard scoring drive, aided by a Northwest facemask penalty, put the twotime reigning NJCAA champions on top by two touchdowns. The Rangers looked to cut the deficit in half on their next offensive possession, but Gardner Minshew’s would-be touchdown toss to a wide-open Max Joseph coming out of the backfield was dropped. Northwest had to settle for a 19-yard field goal by Jim Speights to make the score 14-3 with 8:38 left in the opening half. The game’s tempo picked up considerably midway through the second quarter with three touchdowns coming over the next two minutes. After missing the previous two games due to injury, EMCC sophomore running back DJ Law made his return to action known in a big way by popping through a hole on his way to a 56-yard sprint to the end zone. The blocked point-aftertouchdown attempt kept the score at 20-3 with 7:58 still remaining in the quarter. Less than a minute later at the 7:05 mark, the visitors responded with a 7-yard scoring burst by Justin Crawford that was set up by a long pass play from Minshew to Jacob McCrary and a resulting late-hit penalty called on EMCC. Speights’ PAT try was then blocked by twoway starter Dario Robinson and subse- quently returned downfield to the end zone by Dontavius Powell for two points and a 22-9 EMCC lead.

After a slow start following the 11 a.m. kickoff, MSU rallied from a 14-0 deficit in the first quarter to out-score Tech 45-6 over the rest of the game. “We started slow,” Mullen said after the game. “After the 3:51 mark of the first quarter, absolutely it was our most complete game.” Quarterback Dak Prescott had a huge game, scoring four total touchdowns and moving into seventh place all-time in SEC history with 87 career touchdowns responsible for. Prescott finished the day 30-of-43 passing for 347 yards (second-most of his career) and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 34 yards and one score. He joined Tim Tebow of Florida and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M as the only quarterbacks in SEC history to total 50 career passing touchdowns and 30 career rushing touchdowns. It was his passion, Mullen said, that sparked MSU’s 45-6 run over the last three quarters and change. After Tech scored its second touchdown, Mullen said he saw an anger in Prescott he doesn’t usually see in the typically-calm quarterback. “I don’t know if you wanted to get in front of him at that point,” Mullen said. Receiver De'Runnya Wilson was a big part of Prescott's day, hauling in seven passes for 85 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, while MSU only recorded two sacks, the front seven harassed Tech quarterback Jeff Driskel throughout the afternoon, forcing him into quick throws as he finished with over 300 passing yards of his own. The highlight on defense came when freshman safety Brandon Bryant picked off Driskel (Bryant's first career interception) in the fourth quarter and returned it 73 yards for a touchdown to cap scoring for MSU on the day. “I think that’s really good defense,” Mullen said. “I think those young guys are stepping up and that’s what we need to do as a program.” State also had one of its better days on special teams with several plays contributing to the victory, including a blocked punt by Donald Gray to set up a Bulldog touchdown near the end of the first half. With the win, MSU finished the non-conference portion of its schedule undefeated and has five-straight SEC games to finish the season. “The ultimate goal is to go 4-0,” Mullen said of the non-conference schedule, “and we accomplished that.” Mississippi State returns to SEC action by hosting Kentucky (42) next Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.

Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • On the web www.choctawplaindealer.com Initiative Measure #42 & Alternative Measure #42A Public Education Funding Initiative Measure #42 BALLOT TITLE: Should the State be required to provide for the support of an adequate and efficient system of free public schools? BALLOT SUMMARY: Initiative #42 would protect each child’s fundamental right to educational opportunity through the 12th grade by amending Section 201 of the Mississippi Constitution to require that the State must provide and the legislature must fund an adequate and efficient system of free public schools. This initiative would also authorize the chancery courts of this State to enforce this section with appropriate injunction relief. Section 201. Educational opportunity for public school children “To protect each child’s fundamental right to educational opportunity, the State shall provide for the establishment, maintenance and support of an adequate and efficient system of free public schools. The chancery courts of the State shall have the power to enforce this section with appropriate injunctive relief.” Fiscal Analysis Prepared by the Mississippi Legislative Budget Office Because this proposed amendment shifts funding decisions from the Legislature to the court system, it is impossible to provide a specific fiscal impact of Initiative 42. If the court system, acting under the new authority granted by Initiative 42, required K12 Public Education be funded at the amount called for by the statutory Mississippi Adequate Education Program, the Legislature would need to appropriate an additional $201,031,129 above the Fiscal Year 2016 budgeted amount. Fiscal Year 2016 revenues are not adequate to support this funding increase without the Legislature having to cut agency budgets or identify new sources of revenue (such as fees or tax increase) to comply with the court’s dictate. PRO Argument Initiative 42 is the only choice on the ballot that protects the quality of our Mississippi public schools by providing a specific remedy if the Legislature continues to break its 1997 promise to provide adequate funding. In 1997 the Legislature promised that each public school district would receive at least enough money to fund an education program that was “adequate.” Adequate was defined in terms of expenditures of average districts. But the Legislature has only provided adequate funding twice in 18 years. As a result, per pupil expenditures in Mississippi are as much as 30 % lower than those in surrounding states. We cannot compete with those states for business unless we can provide our children with resources that match them. In our constitutional system, only the courts have the power to investigate the facts and hold the Legislature accountable. Initiative 42 will allow a district whose children are denied an “adequate and efficient” education to bring suit in chancery court against the State. It does not say which chancery court. Ultimately the nine elected members of the Mississippi Supreme Court will determine the issue. More than 120,000 supporters of public education, including supporters of publicly-funded charter schools, signed petitions to put initiative 42 on the ballot. It enjoys support in all parts of the state. No one signed a petition for Initiative 42A. It calls for an “effective” education but does not define that term. It is a legislative maneuver designed to keep Initiative 42 from getting the percentage of all those voting necessary to amend the constitution. Initiative 42 will be the first choice on the top of the constitutional amendment ballot. “On top” is where our children deserve to be. Vote to put them there. By: Luther T. Munford Sponsor, Initiative Measure #42 CON Argument Most agree that stronger state support for public education is central to improving the quality of life of Mississippians. The Legislature is obviously of that mindset; witness the historic level of its appropriations to the K-12 system in FY15 – some $106 million new dollars! The disagreement lies in how that support can best be achieved. Proponents of Initiative 42 would seek to accomplish it through the courts; whereas, many state leaders fear “unintended consequences” would likely result from its passage – among them: - A dangerous precedent of conducting the State’s business through the judiciary. A cornerstone of democracy is the separation of powers between executive, legislative and judicial branches. Initiative 42 would cause what is properly the function of the legislature – the appropriation of funds – to be conducted by a court. That would diminish our vital checks-and-balances system of government. - Despite 42’s backers arguing that fully funding MAEP could be phased in over seven years, there is no compulsion for the court to embrace that plan. The court could decide to fully fund MAEP immediately or exceed that level. Why? Because the Court, rather than the Legislature, would have the discretion to fiscally define an “adequate and efficient’ education. Also, key legislators have already stated that if 42 passes, they would vote to fully fund MAEP immediately. In that case, most other state agencies, such as community colleges, universities, Transportation and Corrections, would be cut by 7.8% or more. K-12 is inarguably a foundational plank in Mississippi’s economic development platform. But for our state to be successful in growing our economy, we also need more college graduates with contemporary job skills, better roads, higher quality public health, fewer inmates etc. Moreover, in addressing our challenges, it’s important to do so in a financial responsible way, so as not to fall victim to the budgetary nightmares currently plaguing other states. If we’re truly “all in this together,” then we must focus on the improvement of all public services. Initiative 42 won’t accomplish that. By: Dr. Scott Elliott President, Meridian Community College Alternative Measure #42A BALLOT TITLE: Should the Legislature provide for the establishment and support of effective free public schools without judicial enforcement? BALLOT SUMMARY: This constitutional amendment is proposed as a legislative alternative measure to Initiative #42 and would require the Legislature to provide, by general law, for the establishment, maintenance and support of an effective system of free public schools. Section 201. “The Legislature shall, by general law, provide for the establishment, maintenance and support of an effective system of free public schools. Fiscal Analysis Prepared by the Mississippi Legislative Budget Office There is no determinable cost or revenue impact associated with this initiative. PRO Argument Our kids deserve EFFECTIVE schools. Common sense says this won’t happen just by pumping more of your taxes into the current system, which is all Initiative 42 would do. Alternative Measure 42A is not a trick, but a viable proposal to foster EFFECTIVE public schools. There is something tricky going on, however. It is Initiative 42’s deceitful “bait and switch” scam to sneakily change our Constitution to allow a LAWSUIT to control state and local education policy (not just funding). To convince 116,670 Mississippians to sign petitions last year, organizers claimed (“THE BAIT”) that Initiative 42 would simply require legislators to put 25% of revenue growth into the education funding formula for seven (7) years to “fully fund” it by 2022. (In fact, the Legislature more than doubled that for 2015-16, spending MILLIONS MORE on public education than ever before.) And, despite anything you’ve been told, Initiative 42 contains NO “growth trigger” and NO “phase-in” provisions AT ALL. What Initiative 42 would really do (“THE SWITCH”) is create a brand new constitutional right to SUE in a Hinds County court to force immediate funding in whatever amount a judge decides. Initiative 42 zealots hid this reckless agenda last year when they misled thousands of honest citizens to sign their petitions. Its proponents don’t want you to know that Initiative 42 would give a JUDGE you can’t even vote for the power to SPEND your tax dollars without any accountability to you, the taxpayer. And don’t be mocked by liberal elitists who say you don’t understand what the word “effective” means. An “effective” school is simply one that teaches like it’s supposed to, and where kids learn as they should. Ifyou’re truly FED UP with being ranked 50th in America, then vote FOR Alternative Measure 42A, and give Mississippi kids EFFECTIVE public schools. By: Rep. Greg Snowden (R-Meridian) Speaker Pro Tempore Author of HCR 9 (Alternative Measure #42A) CON Argument Initiative 42A has been put on the ballot by the legislature for one purpose and one purpose only: To divide the supporters of public education so that Initiative 42 will not get the percentage of all those voting necessary to amend the constitution. In other words, it is a trick. Do not fall for it. Voters will have two choices. The first choice is whether to amend the constitution by initiative. The constitution needs to be amended because at present it gives the legislature control over public school funding without any accountability. Vote “for” for the use of initiative to amend the constitution. Second, the ballot will offer voters a choice between Initiative 42, which would require an “adequate and efficient” free public school system, and Initiative 42A, which would require and “effective” system. Either one would have to be enforced by the courts. The legislative authors of Initiative 42A did not put it forward in the hope that it would pass. They do not know what an “effective” system would be. The courts have never defined that term. Rather, the purpose of Initiative 42A is to split the vote of those who favor an amendment so that neither amendment is adopted. Vote “for” Initiative 42 only. That is a vote for a strong public school system that will help Mississippi compete with other states for good jobs. Do not be tricked. By: Luther T.

They do without necessary resources every year because they lack the funding to purchase them. Patrick Warner has pledged to donate $10,000.00 of his salary as State Representative to the volunteer fire departments and schools in District 35. When asked what motivated him to make this decision, Warner responded, “Throughout my campaign, I’ve made it clear that I am a proponent of those who teach our children and those who serve and protect us from danger.” He went on to say, “After attending a monthly meeting at a volunteer fire department the other night, I watched as firefighters tried to repair two holes in a section of hose-line because they couldn’t afford to purchase a new one. They deserve to have decent and proper working equipment to perform Warner their volunteered upon. services when called As a career firefighter myself, I personally would not want to go into a burning building risking my life to save another with a patched hose-line. Firefighters cannot put out fires, police officers cannot prevent crime, and teachers cannot get the most out of our students if they don’t have the necessary resources to do so, and as a representative for the people of this district, I feel led to do all I can to provide those resources.” This benevolent act is just an example of Warner’s character and his passion for service. As our elected representative, Patrick Warner will always look for ways to give back to the people he is elected to serve.

In our community THAT’S LIFE By Ruth Nowlin 48 hours “Once upon a time …” Isn’t that the way good fairy tales began? Fairy tale this is not, but is was “once upon a time.” Our story begins on a late Friday afternoon in September. The telephone rings. The ensuing conversation is a heated one and ends with our heroine hanging up abruptly. No sooner than she hung up, it rang again. Thinking that it was the same caller; she answered it loud and with an angry voice. It was not the same person. She received an invitation to travel for the weekend – a long trip to a place she had never been. Ah, this would be a welcome retreat for a little while from the stress of being a single parent and the workplace. So, she Page 16 accepted. Much later that night, she and her youngest arrived at the first stop of their journey; they joined a couple they had never met but that were family friends to continue on their way. Well after midnight they stopped again for a bit of sleep. Awaking Saturday morning, they again took to the road. It was about two in the afternoon of Saturday when they reached their destination, which was over 800 miles from home. Disembarking, they stretched and walked around. This was not Kansas, Dorothy. Nope it wasn’t Mississippi either. Our lady (who was at that time just entering what we term ‘middle age’) took in the surrounding terrain. Hot, dusty barren areas spotted with crooked, gnarled trees that bent east due to Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • On the web www.choctawplaindealer.com the ever-present wind stretched as far as she could see. There were grass burrs underfoot and tumble weeds (which she had never seen before) piled along the fences. The sky was never ending, as there were no trees to block the view. The house in front of her was in the throes of reconstruction and just below the side yard she could see a lovely lake. The place had potential but needed lots of tender care. What struck our venturesome lady’s eye most, however, was one of the carpenters. He seemed to be about her age, small in stature but muscular and tanned. Yep, he did look good in those jeans and white t-shirt. Walking on toward the house she held to the hand of her young son who was very obviously anxious to be set free to explore after the long, tedious ride. This was before technology made road trips much easier for The Civil War – History of 30th Mississippi Infantry Submitted by C.J. Johnson The 30th Mississippi included companies from central Mississippi – Carroll, Choctaw, and Yazoo counties primarily. Company C, the Choctaw Planters, was raised in Choctaw County. The following history comes from Dunbar Rowland’s “Military History of Mississippi, 18031898.” Officers included “Colonel - G. F. Neill, resigned, May, 1863; Julius I. Scales, captured at Chickamauga; Lieutenant-Colonels Junius I. Scales, promoted June 18, 1863; Hugh A. Reynolds, killed at Chickamauga; James M. Johnson, wounded at Resaca; MajorsHugh A. Reynolds, promoted June 21, 1863; James M. Johnson, promoted; John K. Allen; AdjutantHobson Powell, killed in battle; SurgeonsP. W. Peeples, George R. Griffith, [ ? ] Lauderdale; ChaplainW. T. Hall; Quartermaster— T. S. T h r e a d g i l l ; Commissaries— F. F. Gillespie, Charles Arnold; SergeantMajor— H. S. Smith; Color Bearers - Samuel Redus, killed at Murfreesboro, Edward Hope, wounded at Franklin. This regiment was raised by G. F. Neil, of Carrollton, under authority from President Davis, for service during the war; organized at Grenada and field officers elected April 12-14, 1862. The companies were all organized early in the year in the period when the twelve-month regiments were reorganizing, and doubtless included a considerable number of men who had experience. The regiment was particularly noted during the following three years for ‘dash, brilliancy, and courage.’ Its service began when General Beauregard, with a great army at Corinth, was awaiting in his fortifications to slow advance of the army under General Halleck. May 11, the Thirtieth, was reported, a new regiment, at Corinth. It was assigned with the Thirty-seventh and Forty-first Mississippi, to the brigade of Gen. Patton Anderson. Corinth was evacuated May 29 and the army fell back to the vicinity of Tupelo. General Bragg took command and in July transferred the main part of the army to Chattanooga, whence they marched across Waldron Ridge and into Kentucky in September [1862]. The Thirtieth was then in Anderson’s Division, Hardee’s Corps, which was distinguished in the battle of Perryville, October 8. Anderson had four brigades, under Thomas M. Jones, John C. Brown, D. W. Adams and Samuel Powell, but the organization is not given in the official reports, until November, when the army had retreated through Cumberland Gap to Chattanooga. The Thirtieth was then in Jones’ Brigade. Early in December [1862] Anderson’s Division was broken up and the Thirtieth transferred to Polk’s Corps for assignment to a new brigade under Col. E. C. Walthall, who was soon promoted as Brigadier-General. The brigade, then including the Twentyfourth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth Mississippi and Forty-fifth Alabama, was commanded at Murfreesboro by Gen. Patton Anderson. Lieutenant-Colonel Scales commanded the regiment.” [to be continued] parents as well as kids. We are now entering the second 24 hours. Family members of the travelers and ones at the construction site greeted each other and introductions were made. The construction group ended their days’ work, picked up tools and everyone loaded up for the short jaunt into the little town where the host family resided. Supper was served shortly and the group retired to the screened porch for relaxing and more conversation. After a while, the dark haired carpenter approached our lady and asked if she would like to take a ride around the countryside. As her son was now sleeping, tired out from his busy afternoon, she accepted the invitation. Outside, she climbed into his pickup, having to shove tools and paper bags of nails aside and into the floor. They rode several miles making sporadic conversation mostly about their respective families back home. She learned that our gentleman was divorced with three teenage children. When she asked about his hometown, at first she thought he was joking – he wasn’t. And she thought that the town of Hot Coffee, Mississippi had a strange name! They returned to home base (home of the carpenter’s sister, by the way). The men went to the bunkhouse of sorts and the ladies to the house bedrooms. Sunday morning arrived and after a sumptuous breakfast our travelers made ready for the return trip home. Funny, she didn’t want to leave right away. The past 12 hours had flown by. But, leave they did and a little more than 48 hours from the time she left home, she was back in Mississippi. Monday arrived and work and school. Late that afternoon the telephone rang. This time she recognized the voice; she smiled as she spoke. The first thing the person on the other end of the line said was, “I am on my way to Mississippi to get you and your son. Will you marry me?” They were married the following Saturday, one week from the time they met. “And they lived happily ever after.” But the story has not ended. … and that’s life.

The kindergarten students had the 6th highest average scale score in the state. 92% of first graders scored at or above grade level. The second grade students leave second grade scoring better than 50% of 2nd graders tested nationally. The third grade students had the 2nd highest pass rate in the state of Mississippi on their state assessment with 99% of them scoring at or above grade level.

All entered pumpkins will be displayed outside so make sure to stop by and look at all the entries. Pumpkins should be taken home after judging has been completed. The Choctaw County Master Gardeners sponsor the Pumpkin Contest. The Costume Contest is back again this year. Contest begins at 5 pm with registration at 4:30pm. Adults and youth are encouraged to enter the Costume Contest. Entry fee is $2. Categories are: 3 years old and under, Pre-K to 2nd grade, 3rd grade to 6th grade, 7th grade to 9th grade and 10th grade to adult. Ribbons will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category. The Ackerman 20th Century Club sponsors the Costume Contest. Also beginning at 5 pm are the games for the children. Located in the Depot parking lot, in downtown Ackerman, will be several FREE games. Games include Toilet Paper Toss, Blinko, Go Fish, Pumpkin Bean Bag Toss, Witch Hat Ring Toss, Cake Walk and Corn Hole Toss. There will be two places to get your photo taken. Bring your camera to take your kids’ photos by a nurse, farmer, builder and chef. The other photo booth will take your group’s photo for you! But that’s not all, don’t forget to stop by the Fun House to see what surprises await you. At 6 pm the annual Jack’ O Lantern Jam Trunk-or-Treat will begin at the walking track. Several businesses and organizations will be set up by their decorated trunks to hand out candy to the kids for FREE. The Ackerman Fire Department and the Chamber of Commerce will not let you go hungry at this full night of fun. Stop by the Ackerman Fire Department booth to purchase chili. This is a fundraiser for the AFD. The Chamber of Commerce will sell drinks to go along with that chili. Kids will receive a free hotdog, popcorn and juice (first come first serve) compliments of the Choctaw County Chamber of Commerce. This free food will be given out after the Trunk-or-Treat. Make sure to stick around for the outdoor movie that begins at dark. The movie will be in the grass in between the walking track and the depot parking lot. The movie will be Casper’s Halloween Special. Here’s more about Casper: “It’s Halloween Night at the haunted house and a certain friendly ghost leaps at the chance to experience the delights of the night “just like a real boy.” Donning a simple costume and counting on his natural coloration to carry him the rest of the way, Casper sets out for a night of tricks and treats. The treats arrive in the form of a gang of orphan kids out for the night who accept Casper as one of the gang. But the tricks come in hard and heavy as Hairy Scary and the ghostly gang from the haunted house set out to do the Halloween duty and scare any who cross their path. And who better to bedevil than the kids who think it’s cool to hang with the sweetest specter that ever spooked?” Jack’ O Lantern Jam is sponsored by the Choctaw County Chamber of Commerce and Southern Company Services at Red Hills Operations. All events are free except for the Costume Contest and the chili fundraiser. For more information call the Chamber at 662-285-3778.

The monument will be commemorated Sunday, November 8 at 2:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend this preVeterans Day (November 11th) Celebration. We begin with the first six in order of death as compiled by Lavell McAlpin. In some cases photos were unavailable. Photos of grave markers were used instead. In the case of Lonnie Oglesby the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial was used. 1) PFC David Hix Dobbs - A United States Marine, he was involved in the first action of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. He was a member of a machine gun crew. He paid the ultimate sacrifice May 29, 1918. This initial American involvement in Europe paved the way for an eventual Allied victory in World War I. In 1921, his remains were disinterred and returned home for burial in Fellowship Cemetery in Choctaw County. 2) Corporal Lloyd Oswalt - The inclusion of Lloyd Oswalt on the monument is a reminder that some of our military personnel can give their lives even though the deaths are not on the battlefield. While war was raging in Europe in 1940, it was not until 1941 that Oswalt Dobbs Brooks Sharp the United States would enter the conflict. Lloyd Oswalt died stateside as a result of an automobile accident. A peacetime soldier, Corporal Oswalt would have undoubtedly served his country in World War II. He lived in Webster County. 3) Seaman 2nd Class Lonnie H. Oglesby The date of Lonnie Oglesby’s death is familiar to all those who have even a passing knowledge of World War II- December 7th, 1941. Oglesby had previously lived in Mathiston before moving to Hinds County and entering the United States Navy. He was onboard the now iconic U.S.S. Arizona in Pearl Harbor that Sunday morning of the infamous sneak attack. Like many of his comrades in arms, Oglesby’s remains lie in the shallow waters of the Pacific in the ship that is now a memorial Job Wednesday, October 21, 2015 • On the web www.choctawplaindealer.com to all those who gave their lives during the Pearl Harbor attack. 4) PFC Charles C. Shaffer - By 1944, the United States was attempting to establish control of Southern Europe and anticipating a proposed June landing on the coast of France. The first prong of the European attack was through Italy. What Churchill described as the “soft underbelly” of Europe turned out to be anything but soft. Charles Shaffer was involved in the Italian Campaign when on April 24, 1944; a jeep accident took his life. Shaffer lived in Webster County. 5) Captain Robert Hilliard Sharp, Jr. “Hillie” Sharp was from Leake County, but lived in Mathiston during the time that he attended Bennett Academy. Like so many others of this “Greatest Generation”, Hillie Sharp’s career plans were halted to help win the war. A graduate of Millsaps, he was working as a chemist when he volunteered to serve his country during World War II. On June 9, 1944, he was flying a P-47 D aircraft to check weather conditions on the newly held beaches of Normandy following the invasion that took place on June 6th. The aircraft he was piloting never returned. 6) PFC Hugh H. Brooks - Hugh Brooks, a native of Choctaw County and a graduate of Mathiston High School, entered military service in July of 1943. Brooks was a gifted student who also decided to place his country’s needs ahead of his personal goals. He took an active part of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. While the invasion established beach-landing areas for American troops, it would be some time before a breakout could occur due to entrenched German positions inland from the beaches. It was evident that heavy fighting would be needed to clear the area for an Allied advance to occur. One of these battles took place in and near the town of St. Lo, France. While an American victory, the Allies suffered heavy casualties. Hugh Brooks died of wounds sustained in the battle of St. Lo, June 29, 1944. The death of Brooks and his fellow soldiers paved the way for the eventual destruction of Fortress Europe and the ultimate drive to Germany that ended the conflict in the European Theatre.
