The Corinth Board of Alder-men held its fi rst budget work session Tuesday to discuss the preliminary budget fi gures for fi scal 2013.

The tentative budget time-line puts the public hearing during the regular meeting at 5 p.m. on Sept. 4 and approval of the budget on Sept. 11.

The board reviewed pro-posed budgets submitted by the department heads, requests from outside agencies and a

breakdown of possible pay in-creases for city employees with some emphasis on increasing the lower end of the pay scale. Pay rates for city employees were unchanged in the FY 2012 budget.

City Clerk Vickie Roach said assessed property values for the city have not changed, so 1 mill will again produce about $85,000 in revenue. If Corinth residents vote in favor of the Future Fare program next Tuesday, property taxes will rise by 12 mills.

Among the various depart-ments, some capital expendi-tures are on the table, including three patrol cars for the police department and an adminis-trative computer upgrade.

In outside agency allocations, it appears little will change from FY 2012 funding. The board tentatively added the American Red Cross to the list at $3,000, and Mayor Tommy Irwin said he is asking the Tu-pelo-based chapter to consider reestablishing a Corinth offi ce.

Roach said the FY 2012 bud-

get appears to be on track to avoid a shortfall and possibly end with a surplus.

In other business, the board discussed an agreement with Parkway Church of Christ for a barricade that was part of the legal agreement for the Droke Road improvement project. The church had concerns about the appearance of the proposed fence.

The board also accepted a revised bid from 3D Construc-tion for sidewalks on the north side of Corinth National Cem-

etery. The original bid did not include the required bond, and the revised bid is $42,719.75. The cost is covered by a dona-tion from Corinth Community Development, Inc.

An hour-plus closed session regarding a personnel matter in the police department pre-ceded the special meeting.

Because of the Future Fare election, the board will not meet on Tuesday, which is a regular meeting date. The next meeting is set for 10 a.m. Aug. 23.

“An episode you don't want to miss” were the words of the editing producer.

That comment makes Jessica McClamroch just a little uneasy.

McClamroch and her 2-year-old daughter, Ava, will appear on the season fi nale of “Tod-dlers & Tiaras” come Aug. 29. The TLC Network's reality show will be broadcast at 8 p.m. CST.

“The last show usually goes out with a bang,” said the mother of three. “I just hope we aren't that bang.”

A six-person crew spent two days fi lming at the family home as Team Ava, which also con-sist of grandmother Helen Gil-lentine and Gillentine's sister, Doris Pittman, prepared for the “Rock Around the Clock” pag-eant held in Gatlinburg, Tenn., during late April.

“They fi lmed 33 hours and will probably show 15 minutes,” said McClamroch with a laugh.

Ava's episode was originally scheduled to be shown in No-vember.

“We are real excited they are going to show it early,” said Ava's mother. “I think it's an experience she will never forget even though she is only 2.”

McClamroch couldn't “pass up the opportunity” to depict pageants in a positive light.

“I want people to see that side of pageants,” she said. “We like to win, but we are graceful los-ers too … it's just like sports in that you can't win them all.”

In the controversial reality series, families are followed as they attempt to claim a spar-kling crown. McClamroch said “she was asked the same ques-tion at least three different times during the day” while the

crew was fi lming at her home.“They want you to spice

things up and they want the drama that goes with reality shows,” she said. “But I can't do

drama.”McClamroch knows there will

be clips of a few meltdowns, but

The Corinth School District expects to complete the trans-fer of one vacant school build-ing and begin the sale process on two others within the next few weeks.

Superintendent Lee Chil-dress said the Easom Outreach Foundation appears to have worked out its fi nal issues at the former South Corinth/Easom campus and should be ready to complete the deal within about two weeks. The purchase price was not dis-closed because the transaction is not complete.

Easom has been giving por-tions of the campus fresh paint and other improvements in preparation for community center programs. It served as a participating site in the school district’s summer feeding pro-gram.

The district’s board of trust-ees is ready to move on the sale of the East Corinth and West Corinth elementary buildings upon the closing of the South Corinth deal.

Childress said the district has tried to work with any in-terested parties and that “ev-erybody has had ample time” to express an interest in the vacant facilities.

The district will notify a cou-ple of groups that have rented the facilities — West Corinth Baptist Church and the court-house pickers.

In other business:■ The board approved ath-

letic event general admission ticket prices for the new school year, including increases to $5 for basketball and football. Volleyball will also see an in-crease, while soccer will have an admission fee for the fi rst time.

■ Trustees accepted a $1.9 million 21st Century Commu-nity Learning Center Grant in partnership with Kemper and Coahoma counties. The funds will be spread over fi ve years. The board also accepted a dys-lexia grant from the Mississip-pi Department of Education totaling $105,326 over three years for materials and profes-sional development.

■ Childress updated the board on construction projects throughout the district.

The high school fi eld house is near completion with fl oor-ing expected to be installed this week and the weight equipment to follow. The fa-cility includes built-in wood lockers.

At the middle school, the roofi ng and door projects con-tinue. Doors that will remain have been refi nished, along with interior wood. The front exterior doors are being re-turned to their original look with a bronze color.

At the high school, new doors and windows will be installed after hours and on weekends.

The Alcorn County Patriots Tea Party group will host a three-county rally tonight at the American Legion post on Tate Street. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the “Grillin’ With the Pa-triots” event is the local Tea Party group’s kick-off to the election season.

“We’re not doing this be-cause we’re a bunch of radi-cals, but because we don’t want people to be complacent during this election,” said Charlotte Doehner, chairwom-an of the Alcorn County Patri-ots. “We’re trying to get people excited about getting out to vote in the upcoming election and to take responsibility for our votes.”

Doehner said the focus of the rally will be the need for

voters to take a more active interest in how the country is being governed, and that vot-ing is only one part of civic re-sponsibility. After voting, she said, it is important to keep up with the candidates to know if they are voting according to their promises and stated val-ues.

The rally will include three speakers. Jeppie Barbour is the older brother of former Gov. Haley Barbour. He is a retired businessman and poli-tician and served a term as the mayor of Yazoo City beginning in 1968. Sen. Chris McDan-iel is an attorney, conserva-tive commentator and native of Laurel. He has represented the 42nd District since 2008. Roy Nicholson is the chairman

Organizers of the 150th An-nual Battles of Farmington and Corinth reenactment say this year’s sesquicentennial event should be the biggest ever.

“For Farmington, Corinth and Alcorn County it’s our turn for the 150th — and we’re get-ting a lot of response because of that,” said Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry.

Hosted by the Blue-Gray Al-liance and sponsored by the Farmington Heritage Com-mittee, the event will be held Thursday, Sept. 13, through

Sunday, Sept. 16, on the histor-ical site of the Battle of Farm-ington.

Fortenberry said the organiz-ers are expecting 1,200 local students for the school days on Thursday and Friday. Many activities and demonstrations are slated for the school days, including a display of camp life by the 48th Tenn. Infantry regi-ment, a cannon demonstration with Freeman’s Battery and rides in an authentic 1860s horse-drawn wagon. A new demonstration for this year’s event will be a portrayal of the lives of offi cers’ wives by the la-

dies of the 48th Tenn.A memorial will be held on

Saturday for Steiger and Penel-ope Allen, a Farmington couple whose home was located on the battlefi eld and who were laid to rest at their old home-place af-ter the war.

“We always decorate their graves with fl owers, but this year we’re going to have a me-morial service for them,” said the mayor.

For Fortenberry, the school days are some of the best mo-ments of the reenactments the

of the Mississippi Tea Party.

The Alcorn County Patriots will provide free food. The event is open to everyone. Tea Party members

from Tippah County and Tishomingo County have also been invited.

“Everyone is invited. We want as many people as we can get to come out,” Doehner said.

Tea Party member-ship is not restricted to

members of any specifi c political party, Doehner explained. The group believes in small govern-ment, less spending, a balanced budget and a nation that is governed according to constitution-al principles.

she hopes the show will also cover the many posi-tives.

The “Rock Around the Clock” event was one that young Ava did quite well. The youngster took home eight of the 10 awards from the pageant.

“She racked up,” said Jessica McClamroch. “Ava loves doing this and I'm not the type of mother that is going to do some-thing to harm my child … I can't wait to see what

she does when she watch-es the show.”

Since being fi lmed, Ava has competed in one other “Toddlers & Tiaras” pageant. She won the 0-5 year-old face division in an event in Oklahoma.

“We had a ball during the fi lming and we met new friends because of it,” said Jessica. “The ones behind those cameras are really good people.”

Although Ava was fea-tured, her mother and grandmother could be the ones stealing the show.

“I am sure they shot the comedy routine of mother and I,” said Jessica with a laugh. “We have a good time no matter what we are doing … mother is ready to sign another con-tract for next season.”

The family plans a “Toddlers & Tiaras” party with friends the night of the showing.

“I'm just going to laugh because I knew what we were getting into,” she said. “Ava is so full of per-sonality that will put a smile on your face.”

It’s almost time to make a Tennessee River Run.

Darryl Worley’s Ten-nessee River Run con-cert will bring David Lee Murphy, John Anderson, Badfi nger and Black Oak Arkansas to stage with Worley in downtown Sa-vannah, Tenn., on Satur-day, Sept. 15.

Throughout his career, Worley has produced over 20 hit singles — in-cluding three number 1s, chart-topping albums and sales in the mil-lions. For a decade he has been a mainstay of mod-ern country music, with singles including “I Miss My Friend,” “Have You Forgotten?” and “Awful,

Beautiful Life.”For his upcoming al-

bum, “One Time Around,” the 47-year-old singer and songwriter said he was trying to recreate some of the same “sub-stance” of his fi rst album.

“That album was pretty straightforward country, and it had some really great songwriters’ songs — well-crafted and clever but with substance,” said Worley. “I also wanted something uplifting and fun that sounded different and had great grooves.”

David Lee Murphy’s “Dust on the Bottle” and “Party Crowd” have be-come country radio sta-ples. Both are from Mur-phy’s debut album, “Out With a Bang,” the best-

selling debut by a male country artist in 1995. He is one of Nashville’s most in-demand songwriters. His songs “Living in Fast Forward” and “Live a Lit-tle” (Kenny Chesney), and “Big Green Tractor” (Ja-son Aldean) all climbed to the top of the charts.

From their humble roots in New South Wales to their rise to fame as “The New Beatles,” Badfi nger has remained one of England’s most be-loved bands. Their hits in-

clude “Without You,” “No Matter What,” “Day After Day,” and “Baby Blue.”

Appearing on the scene in 1971, Black Oak Ar-kansas were pioneers in the guitar-driven rock sound that would become known as Southern Rock in the hands of bands like Lynryd Skynyrd and Mol-ly Hatchet. Their signa-ture song, “Jim Dandy to the Rescue,” is a cover of the LaVerne Baker classic that was suggested by El-vis Presley.

Born in 1954, country music legend John Ander-son is known for the songs “Swingin’,” “Black Sheep,” and “Straight Tequila Night.” He has charted more than 40 singles. His career has spanned more than 30 years from his fi rst single “I’ve Got a Feelin’ (Somebody’s Been Stealin’)” in 1977.

Worley started the annu-al Tennessee River Run in an effort to serve the region he calls home. Proceeds from the River Run benefi t the Darryl Worley Foun-dation, which supports a variety of organizations, including Le Bonheur Chil-dren’s Medical Center and the Darryl Worley Cancer Treatment Center.

Tickets are $30 until

the day of the show and $35 at the gate. They are available at the Darryl Worley Foundation Of-fi ce in downtown Savan-nah, the Hardin County Conventions & Visitors Bureau and all the banks in Hardin County. Tick-ets can also be purchased by credit card at www.tnriverrun.org or by call-ing 855-484-3877. Ad-mission for children ages seven to 12 is $15, and children six and younger enter free with a paying adult. Gold Circle Seating is $100 and available in advance only.

More information about the Tennessee Riv-er Run is available on the event’s Facebook page and www.tnriverrun.org.

City of Farmington has been hosting every year since 2007.

“It’s amazing. The kids are very attentive and really enthusiastic,” he said. “They ask ques-tions about Farmington, Corinth and Shiloh in the Civil War. And some of them ask some pretty hard questions!”

The “battles” will be conducted on Friday and Saturday, beginning with an opening cere-mony Saturday morning with the presentation of the colors for both sides.

The event will be man-aged by an all-volun-teer staff. According to Fortenberry, there are still a few open slots for volunteers, and the event’s organizers will “take anybody we can get.”

The fi rst Farmington reenactment was a small event held in 2007. It has been held each year since and doubling in size each year (with the exception of 2009 when it was rained out).

With the battle on a month away, registration for reenactors is picking up. Already 22 artillery

pieces have registered, with participants hailing from all of the surround-ing states and Texas. At this point 17 states are represented in the infan-try, artillery and cavalry.

“It’s going to be a little bit bigger than in 2007 when we started with 40 people,” the mayor said with a grin.

SELMER, Tenn. — An unhappy group of county commissioners tabled a request from the Mc-Nairy County Board of Education to put a refer-endum on the November ballot during their meet-ing on Monday night. The request would have allowed voters to ap-prove the extension of the wheel tax and an in-crease in sales tax to pay for a school building pro-gram.

Commissioners did agree to meet in a spe-cial joint meeting be-tween the school board and county commission on Monday, Aug. 20 at the McNairy County Courthouse. The hope is an agreement could be reached that would allow the commissioners to approve at their Sept. 4 meeting. Deadline to get the measure on the ballot

is Sept. 6.“If we have a good

meeting on Monday with the school board, we still have time to get the referendum on the bal-lot in November,” said McNairy County Mayor Wilburn Ashe. “The commissioners agreed to move the September meeting up one week to vote again on the refer-endum.”

Ashe said he only re-ceived a copy of the school board’s proposal on Monday afternoon and the county attorney noticed a problem with wording of the proposal.

“It took a special act of the legislature to approve the wheel tax,” said Ashe. “We would have to vote on a new wheel tax and not just extend the pres-ent wheel tax.”

Frank Lacey, chairman of the McNairy County Board of Education, pre-sented the request to the

commissioners. He told the commissioners the project cost would be $22 million for building elementary schools at Adamsville and Selmer.

The school board be-lieves a $20 wheel tax and a half-cent increase in the sales tax would help pay the school debt over a 30-year period.

McNairy County’s wheel tax will expire dur-ing this fi scal year when the debt is retired from the McNairy County Jus-tice Complex.

Ashe pointed out the school board numbers did not include the infra-structure cost, land cost for the Selmer school and road improvements that would be needed with the building of two schools.

The commissioners voted unanimously to table the vote on the ref-erendum to show they needed additional time to study the issue.

Diabetes TipWant to know how a particular meal affects your blood sugar? Check it just before the first bite of that meal and again one and a half to two hours after that. Its OK to go up about 50-60 points. If it goes up more then you may need to make an adjustement in food or medicine. Remember your after meal blood sugar goal should be under 180 according to the American Diabetes Association. Some doctors even recommend that you be under 140. Controlling your diabetes can help you to reduce the risk of damage to your eyes, kidneys, nerves and most of all your heart.

Letters to the editor

To the editor:I am a Corinthian. I was born and reared

here and have many fond memories. After living in Memphis for the last 17 years, I am thrilled to call Corinth home again!

Being away caused me to long to raise my son in Mississippi. Corinth has a lot to brag about — our strong public school, cost of living is reasonable, low crime, Southern charm, a growing hospital, and most impor-tantly, the warm and friendly people.

I am saddened when I brag about Corinth to most outsiders and all they know about Corinth is what they see driving down U.S. Highway 72. Corinth is rich in history and rich in people, and I want everyone to see what I see. Come shop, come eat, come play in Corinth — come spend your money here.

Like any small or large city, we must have a plan for the future. We must fi rst update the drainage and ensure the piping system is up-dated so we keep our citizens safe especially during storms. We must take care of our cur-rent streets by repaving so kids can ride bikes without falling in a pothole. We must tear down abandoned residential and commercial buildings to keep crime out and make our town look better.

We must ensure all streets are visibly marked and on every street. We must clean up U.S. Highway 72 and do a better job of creating various entrances to encourage peo-ple to visit.

I realize we are all on a budget and every penny counts, but I feel it is like making home repairs. We either spend some now or a lot later. I am so encouraged with Corinth and I really feel we are on the brink of some-thing great.

I would like to give my thanks to Mayor Tommy Irwin and the Board of Aldermen for creating the Corinth Future Fare program. One of my favorite quotes is from John D. Rockefeller. It says, “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”

Let’s continue to make Corinth great!David W. DixonWebster Street, Corinth

A verse to share

Super-richDon’t hear our woes;They attend,To cars and clothes.The Occupy movement

seems somewhat subdued these days. That’s largely because the 1 percent is ready for them. Consider how Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepared for the May NATO conference in the Windy City, which drew countless Occupy protest-ers: He outfi tted his troops with new laws, new mili-tary equipment, and new surveillance gear — and authorized them to make old-fashioned trumped-up arrests.

And while Occupy Wall Street and other branches of this new movement have brought attention to our nation’s rampant inequal-ity, where do you go next to address the concentration of extreme wealth in the hands of too few individu-als? It’s shattered both our economy and our democra-cy. But there’s no congres-sional committee in charge of that.

Sure, President Barack Obama himself has dipped into the debate over in-equality. First, he called for every American to have what he called “a fair shot.”

More recently, he ridiculed Mitt Romney’s tax proposal during an address to sup-porters in Stamford, Con-necticut as “Robin Hood in reverse,” or “Romney Hood.” But really tackling the problem? That’s prob-ably above his pay grade.

In an earlier era, we had a president born to privi-lege who helped weave the fabric of America’s safety net. But unlike Franklin D. Roosevelt, Romney isn’t interested in addressing the challenges our nation faces because of extreme inequality. He’d rather hide behind’s his wife’s saddle, complaining that the media is picking on her for being into million-dollar, Olym-pic-contending dressage horses.

The Occupiers smartly chose to fi rst camp out on Wall Street, rather than Pennsylvania Avenue. The big banks are the center of the problem, so why not simply confront them on their own turf? Activists rightly guessed that the coverage would be better in Manhattan, where the me-dia is less inured to protests than their jaded brethren in Washington. By now, how-ever, the Big Apple’s report-ers are bored with fl amboy-ant efforts to shine a light

on the power our outsized banks wield.

Of course, the scourge of inequality harms all Ameri-cans, not just activists re-siding in media-saturated cities. And it’s only one of a panoply of crises. Median family income is declining, the foreclosure epidemic rages on, we’re still export-ing manufacturing and ser-vice-sector jobs at a brisk rate, health insurance re-mains out of reach for mil-lions, highly profi table com-panies are declaring war on their unions, Romney’s advocating a tax plan that would cut taxes on the rich and raise them on the rest of us, and public schools and college students are be-ing squeezed by spending cuts.

No wonder thousands of disgusted citizens have taken to the streets. Since young people are the best-equipped to camp out in the rain, they tend to lead the charge, especially if they’re stuck with big college debts and no job prospects. In fact, total college debt now exceeds total credit card debt. Can you imagine what would happen if a move-ment grew to stop paying?

Anyway, to foment seri-ous change in the face of militarized police depart-

ments and a media that increasingly caters to the 1 percent, the Occupy move-ment needs more allies. Even peaceful revolutions require song writers, blog-gers, political operatives, and upper-crust dissidents. Not to mention more peo-ple on the streets.

But most Americans aren’t yet comfortable on the streets. They have no suffi ciently hated target like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak or Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. And while millions are suf-fering, most of us haven’t been evicted or foreclosed on. This spring, preparing for the day when we will fi -nally be ready, Occupy and its allies ran hundreds of activist training sessions, getting the protest infra-structure all lined up and fi red up.

But when will we see re-ally huge crowds out there? How impoverished will we have to be before we join in? Beats me, but Occupy has beaten the trail for us, mapped the course, and is impatiently waiting.

Occupy Wall Street paved the way

Democrats believe fer-vently in the folly of Paul Ryan’s ideas, yet somehow can’t speak about them truthfully.

They are confi dent they can destroy Ryan -- not be-cause they think they can win the debate over his pro-posals on the merits, but be-cause they are certain they can distort those proposals with impunity.

Mitt Romney’s inspiring (and inspired) choice of the Wisconsin budget maven as his running mate had com-mentators on both sides welcoming a clear choice for the country. Romney had done us a favor, they said, in ensuring such a stark clash of visions. The League of Women Voters would ap-prove.

This Hallmark sentiment is nice, though naive. The battle of ideas will be as unsightly and dishonest as the battle over Bain Capital. If Democrats will lie about Mitt Romney killing a wom-an, it’s only a matter of scale to lie about him unloosing a near-genocidal assault on America’s seniors.

Immediately upon Ryan’s selection, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina re-leased a statement that re-called author Mary McCar-thy’s put-down of left-wing

p l a y w r i g h t Lillian Hell-man: “Every word she writes is a lie, includ-ing ‘and’ and ‘the.’”

M e s s i n a scored Ryan for his “bud-get-busting tax cuts for

the wealthy” (except that there aren’t tax cuts, bud-get-busting or otherwise), for bringing to an “end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system” (except there’s no voucher, and Medicare benefi ts would stay exactly the same), and for “shift-ing thousands of dollars in health care costs to seniors” (except the Ryan plan doesn’t apply to today’s se-niors, nor will it shift costs onto the seniors of the fu-ture).

The Democrats never want to admit three things about Ryan’s Medicare plan. First, that it doesn’t affect anyone over age 55 and won’t kick in for anoth-er 10 years. Conceding this makes the job of frightening elderly voters trickier, so it is best ignored.

Second, that the current version of the Ryan plan

gives future benefi ciaries the option to keep tradi-tional Medicare. They will choose among a menu of insurance plans, includ-ing a fee-for-service federal option, all of which will be required to offer at least the same level of benefi ts as Medicare now. The federal government will pay ev-eryone’s premiums up to a level matching the second-lowest-priced plan in a giv-en area. There’s no reason a benefi ciary will have to pay more (although he can choose a pricier plan and pay the difference).

Third, that Ryan and President Barack Obama cap overall Medicare spend-ing at the same level. The president is adamant that the growth of Medicare is unsustainable — and rightly so. Everyone acknowledges the program is the fore-most driver of our long-term debt. Both Ryan and the president use the same formula of roughly GDP growth plus infl ation for setting Medicare’s global budget. The difference is that the president wants a bureaucratic board to get the savings through arbi-trary limits on prices that ultimately will limit access to care, while Ryan wants to get the savings through

competition and choice.The Democrats’ dema-

goguery should be further crimped by the fact that they voted $700 billion in cuts in Medicare to fund Obamacare, not in the far-off future, but right now. Ryan preserved the cuts in his budget but set them aside for the Medicare trust fund. Mitt Romney wants to repeal Obamacare in its en-tirety, including the Medi-care cuts.

What the Ryan plan of-fers, most fundamentally, is a vision of a reformed entitlement state that won’t require massive new tax in-creases or debt to fund. For all the talk of the “radical-ism” of his budget, it keeps taxes at a slightly higher level of GDP than they have averaged over the past sev-eral decades. Ten years from now, federal spend-ing still would be at a higher level of GDP than it was at the end of the Clinton years.

This vision — now at the center of the campaign —deserves a serious, honest debate, and will assuredly not get it.

Southaven mayor seeks to block garnishment

SOUTHAVEN — South-aven Mayor Greg Davis is seeking a temporary restraining order to pre-vent Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering from garnishing his paycheck to recover disputed debt.

The Commercial Ap-peal reports the tem-porary order is part of a counter suit filed by Davis that also seeks to force Southaven to re-store a $35,000 stipend the mayor had been paid for operating the city’s utility department. Alder-men cut the stipend in January.

Davis wants a tempo-rary restraining order to prevent Pickering’s office

from taking the mayor’s $3,700 bi-weekly pay-check. A status confer-ence is scheduled Thurs-day. A hearing is next week in Hinds County Chancery Court.

Pickering plans to gar-nish the mayor’s pay to recover about $73,000 in remaining debt that the auditor says Davis must repay to Southaven in misused city funds.

Wesson seeks blues marker for Stackhouse

WESSON — Wesson city leaders want a place on the Mississippi Blues Trail.

Mayor Alton Shaw tells the Daily Leader he’s op-timistic about talks with the Mississippi Develop-ment Authority to put a Blues Trail marker honor-

ing Houston Stackhouse in Wesson.

“It is pretty much a done deal,” Shaw said.

Stackhouse, born Houston Goff in Wes-son in 1910, achieved fame in playing with well-known blues artists, including Robert Night-hawk.

The mayor said he’s been pushing to get Wes-son on the Blues Trail for some time.

“I’m trying to get some tourism through the trail,” Shaw said.Though a blues marker isn’t like-ly to create a booming tourist economy, Shaw hopes it might generate business for local shops.

Locations for the mark-er are being discussed, including one site near the Old Wesson Public School.

The school is be-ing renovated and will become a community center. Shaw said there has been discussion of putting a small museum at the school site, and Stackhouse memorabilia might be featured.

Shaw also has a per-sonal interest in putting Wesson on the Blues Trail.

“I love the blues,” he said.

Tupelo fall furniture market starts today

TUPELO — The Tupelo Furniture Market officially begins Thursday and runs through Sunday and this year is the 25th anniver-sary.

Market officials tell the Northeast Mississippi Dai-

ly Journal that there has been strong buyer registra-tion and exhibitor interest this year. The market said earlier this month it ex-pects its best attendance in nearly 10 years.

Market Chairman V.M. Cleveland says more than 100 new exhibitors will show at the market, and seven companies expand-ed their showrooms. The market is open only to reg-istered furniture buyers.

Buyers already were making deals with larger exhibitors as early as Mon-day, but most buyers and dealers will arrive during the next couple of days.

Appeals Court rejects petition

JACKSON — The Missis-sippi Court of Appeals has

rejected a petition from man originally convicted in 1977 of capital murder re-lated to an armed robbery, kidnapping and slaying.

Charles Sylvester Bell was originally sentenced to death in the slaying of D.C. Haden, but that was overturned by a federal ap-peals court in 1982.

In 1984, Bell pleaded guilty to a new indictment of armed robbery as a habitual offender to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to serve 25 years on that charge and life imprisonment for the capital-murder conviction.

A Forrest County judge dismissed Bell’s petition for post-conviction relief in April 2011. Bell had claimed that he shouldn’t have been indicted on the same charge twice.

WASHINGTON — Young illegal immigrants are scrambling to get pass-ports and other records in order as the Homeland Security Department starts accepting applica-tions to allow them to avoid deportation and get work permits

Homeland Security an-nounced the details Tues-day of what documents illegal immigrants would need to prove that they are eligible for the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Ar-rivals. The announcement came a day before U.S. Citizenship and Immigra-tion Services was set to be-gin letting people apply for the program.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants po-tentially could benefi t from the program, which President Barack Obama announced in June. The program is beginning just months before what promises to be a tight con-test for the White House in which the Hispanic vote may play an important role.

Obama has come under fi re from Hispanic vot-ers and others who say he hasn’t fulfi lled a previ-ous campaign promise to overhaul the nation’s im-migration laws. The policy change could stop depor-

tations for more than 1 million young illegal im-migrants who would have qualifi ed for the failed DREAM Act, formally the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, which Obama has supported in the past.

Republican lawmakers have accused Obama of circumventing Congress with the new program in an effort to boost his politi-cal standing and of favor-ing illegal immigrants over unemployed U.S. citizens.

Some, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, have called the policy backdoor amnesty and said they worry about fraud.

“While potentially mil-lions of illegal immigrants

will be permitted to com-pete with American work-ers for scarce jobs, there seems to be little if any mechanism in place for vetting fraudulent appli-cations and documenta-tion submitted by illegal immigrants,” Smith said Tuesday.

At the Honduran Con-sulate on Tuesday, a line of people wrapped around the building before it was open for business, and the offi ce was crowded for much of the day.

Evelyn Medina, 23, got in line at about 6:30 a.m., and she wasn’t alone. With her passport in hand, Me-dina was all smiles as she walked out of the building just before 2 p.m., saying “Finally” as she clutched the document.

ANDRES GONZALEZAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Re-publican Mitt Romney dug in Wednesday on his charge that President Barack Obama’s cam-paign is driven by “divi-sion and attack and ha-tred,” criticism aimed at cutting into Obama’s like-ability and personal ap-peal with voters.

In some of his harshest words yet against the pres-ident, Romney said Obama was “running just to hang onto power, and I think he would do anything in his power” to remain in of-fi ce. Romney’s comments escalated an already acri-monious campaign fueled by negative and sometimes false advertisements, as well as personal insults from the candidates and their surrogates.

Obama’s campaign said Romney’s fresh asser-tions seemed “unhinged.”

Romney replied: “I think unhinged would have to characterize what we’ve seen from the presi-dent’s campaign.”

“These personal at-tacks, I think, are just demeaning to the offi ce of the White House,” he added.

The latest rhetorical scuffl e erupted Tuesday after Vice President Joe Biden told a largely black audience in Danville, Va., that Republicans would seek to “unchain Wall Street” and “put y’all back in chains” by loosening Wall Street regulations.

Biden later said he had meant to use the term “un-shackled.” But he did not apologize, and he mocked the Romney campaign for showing outrage.

In his interview Wednesday on “CBS This Morning,” Romney said: “I can’t speak for anybody else, but I can say that I think the comments of the vice president were one more example of a di-visive effort to keep from talking about the issues.”

Romney’s onslaught comes as polls show Obama with a narrow lead over his Republi-can rival less than three

months before the Nov. 6 election. On Saturday, Romney named Wiscon-sin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, a pick aimed at energizing his party’s conservative base.

Now Romney, stray-ing from his campaign’s efforts to stay singular-ly focused on jobs and the economy, is target-ing Obama’s greatest strength — his likeability.

Every major poll in the past two months has found Obama’s favor-

ability rating in positive territory, while Romney’s languishes at about even or worse and has deterio-rated in some recent sur-veys.

Some of Romney’s ef-forts to chip away at Obama’s likeability have focused on negative ads run by the president’s campaign and a super political action commit-tee supporting him. Pri-orities USA Action ran a commercial suggesting Romney was personally

responsible for the death from cancer of the wife of a man who worked at a steel plant that was bought and subsequently shut down by Romney’s venture capital fi rm, Bain Capital.

“If you look at the ads that have been described and the divisiveness based upon income, age, ethnicity and so forth, it’s designed to bring a sense of enmity and jealousy and anger,” Romney said Wednesday.

The Romney campaign has run its own negative ads, including one widely discredited by indepen-dent fact-checkers that accuses Obama of gutting welfare reform. Romney’s team is also running an ad that criticizes Obama for raiding the Medicare trust fund, a charge the presi-dent’s team labeled dis-honest and hypocritical.

Romney was hold-ing private fundraisers Wednesday in North Carolina and Alabama. The president was cam-paigning in Iowa on Wednesday, the fi nal day of his three-day bus trip through the Midwestern swing state. First lady Michelle Obama was join-ing the president for their fi rst joint campaign ap-pearance since May.

Before Romney un-leashed his striking criti-cism of the president’s campaign, much of the White House race this week had focused on Ry-an’s austere budget pro-posals.

Obama’s campaign was launching state-specifi c efforts to target lesser-known elements of Ryan’s budget, expanding be-yond its opposition to the Republican vice presiden-tial candidate’s Medicare overhaul.

The developing Obama strategy comes as Rom-ney and Ryan make clear they plan to campaign ag-gressively on Medicare, not run away from it. In person and in a television ad, the Republicans ar-gued Tuesday that Obama is the one who cut spend-ing for Medicare to put money toward his divisive health care overhaul.

In states with large mil-itary and veteran popu-lations — Florida, Ohio and Virginia among them — the Obama campaign plans to attack Ryan’s proposed cuts for veter-ans’ benefi ts and care, a campaign offi cial said. The offi cial was not au-thorized to discuss the campaign strategy pub-licly and requested ano-nymity.

Gap’s 2QAfter struggling for years to reclaim its status as a fashion leader, Gap is making progress.

The retailer has stepped up its marketing and pushed colorful trendy clothing this year. The strategy has helped drive sales and earnings higher, prompting Gap to raise its earnings forecast for the year.

Investors find out today whether the positive trends continued in Gap’s second quarter.

Wal-Mart’s 2QWall Street anticipates Wal-Mart will report stronger second-quarter earnings and revenue today.

The retail giant is back to emphasizing low prices and has returned thousands of items to shelves in a bid to woo shoppers after having veered away from its bedrock “everyday low prices” strategy. The shift appeared to work in the February-to-April quarter, when sales and customer traffic at Wal-Mart’s namesake U.S. division increased.

Sears’ 2Q The company behind Sears, Kmart and Lands’ End has been struggling to turn around its U.S. busi-ness.

To cope, Sears Holdings has sold off underperform-ing stores and is spinning off others to raise capital. Wall Street will be looking for signs in the retailer’s second-quarter results today that might hint at improved sales. Source: FactSet

Unlocking FacebookThe Facebook floodgates could

open in the coming months. Facebook’s early investors and top

executives will become eligible to sell their stock in the social network. Although it’s conceiv-able few will sell, up to 1.91 billion more shares and stock options could hit the market by next spring. That’s more than four times the 421 million shares that have been trading since Facebook’s initial public stock offering in May.

Lock-up periods typically expire 180 days after a stock begins trading. Most IPOs have just one lockup expiration date, although Facebook’s expires in stages over its first year as a public company.

Lock-ups are designed to protect investors by ensuring that a newly public company will have to file at least some financial reports before insiders can unload their shares. Lock-ups

also help support a stock’s price. If too many people sell, greater supply could cause the price to decline.

That’s a problem Facebook can’t afford. On Wednesday, the stock

closed at $21.20, down 44 percent from its IPO price.

On Thursday, 271 million shares will become eligible to be sold.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg won’t be able to sell his shares until mid-November, 180 days after the IPO. The

company hasn’t explained why he didn’t become eligible along with other top executives this week. Zuckerberg controls about a third of the 1.22 billion shares and stock options that will become unlocked on Nov. 14.

It’s unlikely that top executives will sell their shares as soon as they can,

says Wedbush financial analyst Michael Pachter, noting that it would look bad for the company. “The only people who would sell are people who need the money,” Pachter says.

The games begin to count on Friday.

Seven of the nine area high schools will kick off the 2012 season Friday night. With a pair of head-to-head battles included in the mix, the local action will be condensed into fi ve contests.

Corinth and Thrasher are both idle and will open their new campaigns on Aug. 24.

Practice began on July 30 and many teams played in various jamborees last weekend as a fi nal dress re-hearsal.

Three schools will break in new coaches on Friday,

including the initial head-coaching appearance of Walnut’s John Meeks. The former Wildcat player and assistant coach took over for Timmy Moore and will lead his alma mater into battle against Booneville.

Jeff Boren will become the third coach in as many years as his Alcorn Central club hosts rival Biggersville. Charlie Dampeer will look to continue his resurrection act at McNairy Central as the Bobcats — 7-23 over the last three seasons — travel to Au-burndale to face St. Benedict.

The other two contests fea-ture Byhalia at Tishomingo County and Baldwyn at Kos-

suth.Kossuth will take the fi eld

for the fi rst offi cial time since falling to eventual Class 3A state champion Charleston 58-0 in the third round of the playoffs.

“We’ve put that game be-hind us,” said second-year KHS head coach Brian Kelly. “When you make it that far you’re going to run into good teams.

“You hate to have a game like that as your fi rst loss, but then again at the end of the season you can look back and see what you accomplished.”

The Aggies responded in Kelly’s fi rst season, reeling off 12 straight wins and claiming

the program’s fourth Divi-sion 1-3A title. Kossuth won 13 games combined the four previous seasons before the 1999 graduate assumed con-trols at his alma mater.

Kossuth must replace 19 seniors from its record-set-ting squad.

Next week’s slate will mark the head-coaching debut of Doug Jones as he leads the Corinth Warriors into their 100th season against rival Kossuth.

Thrasher will open up at New Site as former Rebel and one-time co-head coach Lamart Harvey replaces Trey Rolison, who left after three seasons.

Seven teams open season FridayBY H. LEE SMITH II

lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Communication will be the key to the game as the Biggers-ville Lions head to Alcorn Cen-tral on Friday night.

With a week of defense fo-cused practice, Coach Ron-nie Lawson feels good about where his players stand.

“They’re working hard, re-ally catching on to everything we’ve asked them to do,” Law-son said.

Wednesday afternoon’s

practice was no different, as the defensive side focused on pass coverage and reading of-fensive formations in a small time frame in order to defend the ball.

Quarterback Blake Stacy ended practice with four com-pleted passes and one intercep-tion, although he spent most of practice at corner while Darion Barnett took snaps at QB.

“We were just giving Blake some time on that side,” Law-son said, noting that Barnett

wouldn’t see time at QB in a game situation.

Though spending practice at QB, Barnett’s feet were still his strength as he rushed for a touchdown.

While the offense remained strong in practice, Lawson feels that defense will be the Lions strength against the Golden Bears.

“It’s really just communica-tion. You’ve got to be ready for everything and communicate with each other,” Lawson said.

As for the pressure of a ri-varly game, Lawson expects the atmosphere to help his team.

“It’s the only county team we play, and this game means a lot to them. They see these kids when they go out on weekends. They go to church with them. It’s a big game for them,” Law-son said.

Biggersville and Alcorn Cen-tral are set for a 7:30 p.m. kick off at the Alcorn Central Foot-ball Stadium.

SAN FRANCISCO — Melky Cabrera was suspended 50 games Wednesday following a positive test for testoster-one, putting an abrupt end to what had been an MVP-cali-ber regular season and throw-ing the San Francisco Giants’ playoff hopes into doubt.

Cabrera leads the National League with 159 hits, and is second in batting average behind Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen. Cabrera’s pen-alty was the fi rst for a high-profi le player since last year’s NL MVP, Ryan Braun, had his suspension overturned by an arbitrator last winter.

“My positive test was the

result of my use of a sub-stance I should not have used,” Cabrera said in a state-ment released by the union. “I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Fran-cisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down.”

The suspension would ex-tend into the playoffs if the Giants advance.

Cabrera is batting .346 with 11 home runs and 60 RBIs in his fi rst season with San Francisco and is fi ve hits shy of 1,000 in his big league ca-

reer. Flashing bright orange spikes, he singled and hit a two-run homer last month in the National League’s 8-0 win in the All-Star game, earning MVP honors for the game and securing homefi eld advantage for the World Series.

“It’s disappointing. Obvi-ously, Melky means a lot to all of us, was part of our cham-pionship and provided some really good moments here,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “It’s something that ev-eryone has to deal with and it’s something baseball is try-ing to stay away from and it happened.”

Cabrera could still win the NL batting title. He has 501

plate appearances, one less than the minimum required to win a batting champion-ship for a player on a team playing 162 games. However, under 10.22(a) of the Offi cial Baseball Rules, he would win the batting title if an extra hit-less at-bat is added to his av-erage and it remains higher than that of any other qualify-ing player.

He will miss the fi nal 45 games of the regular season and serve the remainder of the suspension at the start of next season or during the postsea-son, depending on whether the Giants make the playoffs

SHORTSCONTINUED FROM 8

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Ross Rasner noticed a startling change early in preseason camp.

The Arkansas safety was accustomed to serving as a defense in name only during the skeleton scrim-mage portion of practice, a time when the offense had its way under former coach Bobby Petrino.

Then one night during an early August practice, Rasner’s instincts took over and he knocked the ball away from a receiver. Afterward, he paused and waited for criticism he had become used to in his three seasons under Petrino.

All he heard were cheers of support.

Times have changed around Arkansas under new coach John L. Smith and defensive coordina-tor Paul Haynes. The most

telling difference is in prac-tices, where defensive play-ers are now encouraged to hold their own with the Razorbacks’ high-powered offense. Over the weekend, the defense stopped the of-fense on fi ve straight pos-sessions at one point.

“The defensive guys aren’t afraid to make plays out there, where in the past you might lay off a receiver and not break up a pass because ...,” Rasner said, trailing off. “We were an offensive-minded team, there’s no doubt about that, but with coach Smith coming in; he’s a defensive coach, so there’s a defi nite change already.”

Arkansas has led the Southeastern Conference in passing for the last three seasons, a trademark of a Petrino-coached team. The Razorbacks led the conference in total offense

and scoring last season, but they were ninth in total defense — another trade-mark of Petrino’s time at Arkansas.

The Razorbacks fi nished in the bottom half of the conference in defense in three of Petrino’s four seasons. They were last in each of his fi rst two sea-sons before improving to fi fth in 2010, with the lack-luster defensive play often overshadowed by the of-fense and a win total that increased.

Last season’s dropoff resulted in the departure of defensive coordinator Willy Robinson and the arrival of Haynes, who

previously served as an as-sistant at Ohio State. The former Kent State line-backer guided Arkansas during a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State last sea-son.

Haynes is hoping a sim-plifi ed approach will help defense become a calling card for Arkansas as it is for fellow SEC West pro-grams Alabama and LSU.

“What we do more is what we’re going to do the best,” Haynes said. “So, whatever we do the best, we’ll become that team. I’m not all about, ‘This is our scheme and this is what we do.’ It’s about what our guys do best, and

that’s what spring and fall camp are all about. Once it comes out, that’s what we’ll be.”

Linebackers coach Taver Johnson knows Haynes as well as anyone on the staff, having worked with him

at Ohio State since 2007. Johnson said the coaching staff worked throughout the offseason to “marry” the old Arkansas defensive system with the new one, rather than a complete takeover.

and how far they advance. If the Giants wanted him to become active in the middle of a playoff series, they would have to play a man short from the start of the series until the suspension ends because rosters can’t be altered mid-series.

“We were extremely disap-pointed,” the Giants said in a statement.

Cabrera became the second Giants player to receive a drug suspension this season. Reliever Guillermo Mota was penalized for 100 games in May, becom-ing just the third major league player disciplined twice.

Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: Wouldn’t it make sense if grade school teachers set aside time, weekly or monthly, to go over some very ge-neric information that kids need to learn? I’m talking about things like how important it is to have pets neutered and why, how to manage money, and show them what the average dad earns and what it costs to run a household and sup-port a family.

It might help kids to grow up understand-ing that money isn’t free and get them past the “gimmes.”

There are so many top-ics that ought to be intro-duced to youngsters at an early age -- how to groom themselves properly, be

exposed to a variety of music g e n r e s , t e a c h them how grandpar-ents can use help even from small chil-dren. They

could be taught to be aware of their surround-ings, to realize that foul language isn’t an attribute and why it’s important to be pleasant.

There are so many topics. Ten minutes a week on different topics would suffi ce. Why not? -- CHAPLIN, CONN., READER

DEAR READER: Why not? Because teachers are

so overwhelmed trying to get their students to learn enough basic curriculum to pass the state man-dated tests that they don’t have time!

Reading your letter I couldn’t help but won-der whose children you are describing. All of the topics you mentioned are things children should learn from their parents. Where are those parents? AWOL?

DEAR ABBY: I have just started back into the dating scene after my di-vorce and being single for fi ve years.

I had a vasectomy when I was married, and I’m wondering at what point I should tell prospective dates this information. -- SNIPPED IN ONTARIO,

CANADADEAR SNIPPED: Raise

the subject as soon as a woman mentions the idea of wanting children. It should certainly be dis-cussed before you have sex.

P.S. Because vasecto-mies have been known to fail, and won’t prevent someone from picking up an STD, you should al-ways make sure you and your partner are protect-ed by using a condom.

DEAR ABBY: Several years ago we bought a used sofa at a garage sale. It is now falling apart. A friend of mine in the ho-tel business offered me an almost new sofa bed from a room that was being re-decorated. It matches the colors in our game room

perfectly. My wife said, “You can’t bring hotel furniture into the house. Yuck!”

My logic is this: Why can’t our kids sleep on a hotel bed in our house if our other houseguests are using the kids’ rooms? We would use our clean sheets, and they sleep on the sofa beds in the hotels we stay in. My wife will sleep in a hotel bed that 100 percent of the guests sleep in, but she doesn’t want a bug-free sofa bed that about 5 percent of hotel guests have used in our home for occasional use. Am I cheap, or am I married to a clean freak? -- WHO’S BEEN SLEEP-ING IN MY BED?

DEAR WHO’S BEEN SLEEPING: Not know-

ing you better, I can’t say whether or not you’re cheap. But your wife should know that many people buy used hotel fur-niture, and selling it is big business.

The sofa bed could be cleaned and sanitized and the mattress replaced. (Inquire about it at any furniture store that sells sofa beds.) But don’t push your wife into taking it or the person who winds up sleeping on it could be you.

Children’s education can’t stop at classroom door

Under the current arrangement of Venus and Uranus, love and relationships are not as carefree as they once were. People are quirky. Learning those quirks and determin-ing how they might jibe with one’s own idio-syncrasies takes time, persistence and a belief that the effort will prove worthwhile. Tomorrow’s new moon is a fresh start.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No matter how busy you get, your creative whims are still impor-tant. They connect you with your heart. And now you could follow your muse to personal and financial rewards.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s a fine time to plot your next profes-sional move. Consider putting ideals over in-come. This will make you happy, and when you’re happy, you’ll ei-ther earn more or do more with what you earn.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sometimes the show makes the show, and sometimes the audience makes the show. Today involves a team effort between performer and onlooker, each feeding a need for the other.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Procrastination only delays the inevitable. Steel yourself, and fulfill the obligation before you. Your weekend starts the moment you get it over with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s not just you; the

heat has been getting to everyone. Don’t let your temper flare out of control in the face of summertime frustration. Keeping physically cool will help you keep your mental cool.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone in your neighborhood is in need of a helping hand, but is too proud to ask. Keep your awareness open. You’ll sense the silent need and offer a hand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Too many evenings out and on the run have left you feeling frazzled. Time to unplug, go to the grocery store and prepare a good home-cooked meal for yourself and your loved ones.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your talent extends beyond what you’re comfortable do-ing. Just because you’re not an expert doesn’t mean you won’t do the best job. If there’s no harm in trying, go for it!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When old resentments surface, you may wonder what it’s going to take to make them go away for-ever. Each time you for-give, the hurt dissolves a little more. Eventually, it will be gone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you leap, aim at a soft landing place. If you don’t have time to look for such a thing before you leap, you’ll still scramble to safety, but it won’t be graceful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The ones you look up to need you, too. You don’t under-

stand the full extent of it, and you may not for many years, but you can trust that your interac-tions matter immensely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Compar-ing your relationships will only drain your per-sonal power. The attach-ments you form don’t have to be like everyone else’s to be valid, mean-ingful and just right for you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 16). You’ll love and be loved. What could be better? Matters of responsibility lead to professional success. Whatever you dislike, handle it first and get it over with. Paradoxi-cally, you will reach Easy Street because you’re willing to do what’s hard. December brings a spotlight. Financial luck is strongest in November and June. Ar-ies and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 3, 22, 48 and 6.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Madonna may very well be the quintessential Leo. Having arrived in New York City with zero connections and $35 in her pocket, she rose to superstardom on blonde ambition and a talent for capturing people’s attention both on stage and off. Madonna was born when the sun, Ve-nus and Uranus were all in the sign of entertain-ment.

RELIGIOUS UNITY Think how wonderful it would be to have religious unity. “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Ps 133:1)! The new testament teaches unity and Christ prayed for unity. “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” ( John 17:21). Paul commanded unity of the Corinthians. “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same in mind and in the same judgement” (1 Cor 1:10). The early church was able to practice unity. “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common” (Acts 4:32). There has never been a time when the religious world has been so woefully divided as it is today. In the 50’s there were about 257 different churches in our country. Now it is estimated that there are over 400 different religious groups. Instead of unity, we are facing more division. Churches need to have the attitude Christ had when He came down from heaven as revealed in John 6:38. “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me”. Many are now following men instead of following the will of Christ. It is strange that we have a system of weights and measures that we agree on, but cannot agree religiously. Why did Christ pray for unity, Paul command unity and the early church practice unity if unity is impossible? We must follow the teachings of the Bible in order to have religious unity. All who desire to go to heaven must follow Christ and His teachings because we will be judged by His word. “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” ( John 12:48).
