executive session to discuss
personnel matters.
After about 30 minutes in
executive session, the board
resumed its meeting with no

County owned fire trucks to
have front tires replaced as

Southeastern Tank, and
$3,000 payable to GTPDD.
Along with this approval will
be an order to the Clerk to
settle funds as stated upon
receipt.

Board President, Chris
McIntire made a motion, to
recognize the temporary
emergency hire of Patrick
Steadman in District 3 at
the rate of $9/hr.

The French Camp elementary Prekindergarten class recently enjoyed a field trip to
the Buffalo Park in Tupelo. The class loved the
pumpkin patch where they were able to pick their
own pumpkin, and make a class scare crow. The
students also saw many different kinds of animals such as monkeys, snakes and buffalo.

Choctaw schools encourage attendance
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.

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!

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
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. I pray fer-

FCA Panthers look to close out regular season strong
Page 6
By Austin Bishop
Choctaw Plaindealer
The Panthers of French
Camp Academy will be looking to right the ship and
snap a three-game losing
streak when they make the
trip to Durant on Friday
night to take on the
Panthers.
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

in a game which could decide
third and fourth place in

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.

Chargers take critical OT win over Philadelphia, 41-40
Page 7
By Austin Bishop
Choctaw Plaindealer
Adam Dillinger had
a timeout in his pocket
just in case he needed
it. 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.

record 14 catches for a
career-high 144 yards,
but No. 12 Ole Miss fell
to No. 22 Memphis 3724 Saturday afternoon
at
Liberty
Bowl
Memorial
Stadium.
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

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

Stadium in Decatur.

improved to 6-2 overall
on the season. The
Warriors are now 3-2 in
Mississippi Association

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
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.

game with 131 yards

and the four scores. He

an 87-yard touchdown

scoreboard first. The
former Florence High

out at the 12:19 mark of

his team-leading 12th
touchdown
of

year. he 85-yard scoring drive, aided by a
Northwest facemask
penalty, put the twotime reigning NJCAA

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

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

on

Bulldogs improve to 5-2 with win
over visiting Louisiana Tech
From school reports
STARKVILLE
—
Mississippi State (5-2)
downed Louisiana Tech
(4-3) 45-20 as part of
Homecoming
on
Saturday at Davis
Wade Stadium. 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.
Holmes takes North Division
win over Coahoma, 34-17
From school reports
Holmes Community College freshman running
back Matt Fuller punished the Coahoma
Community College Tigers last Thursday night in
Clarksdale rushing for 180 yards and two touchdowns as the Bulldogs won 34-17.
With the win, the Bulldogs moved to 3-5 overall
and 2-3 in the division. Holmes hosts Northeast
Mississippi Community College Saturday at 2 p.m.
for Homecoming 2015. Watch live at www.holmesccmedia.com or listen live on the Bulldog Football
Network.
The Tigers got on the scoreboard in the first quarter on a 44 yard run. The extra point was good, and
Coahoma led 7-0 with 14:17 left in the first quarter.
The Bulldogs tied the game at seven with 2:26 left
in the first quarter when sophomore running back
Dre Massey scored form 17 yards out. Kyle
Settlemir's extra point was good.
Coahoma retook the lead with 13:58 left in the
second quarter on a 42 yard field goal. Holmes
retook the lead for good with 11:59 left in the first
half when Fuller scored from five yards out.
Settlemir's extra point was good, and Holmes led
14-10.
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.

Patrick Warner to Donate $10,000
From staff reports
It’s no secret that our
volunteer
fire
departments and our
schools are underfunded.
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.

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
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.

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

“Military History of
Mississippi,
18031898.”
Officers
included
“Colonel - G. F. Neill,

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

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.

Literacy instruction
Page 17
The Choctaw County School Board recognized teachers
throughout the district who were directly involved in the literacy instruction of students in Pre-kindergarten through 3rd
grade. This group of students took part in state assessments
last year and received some of the highest scores in the state
of Mississippi. 83% of the Pre-kindergarten students scored
at or above grade level. 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. CCSD is extremely proud of our Pre-kindergarten
through 3rd grade teachers and assistants, interventionists,
gifted teachers, Special education teachers, Speech
Language Pathologists, and Librarians. “Thanks for all you
do every day to help our students excel academically.”

than one pumpkin but they must be
family friendly. 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

fee is $2. Categories are: 3 years old
and under, Pre-K to 2nd grade, 3rd

Also beginning at 5 pm are the

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

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

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 men from Mathiston who served
Page 23
By Chuck Bailey
The Choctaw Plaindealer
The following is the
first of a three part
series giving the biographies of the 19 veterans
that are listed on the
New War Memorial
Monument
in
Mathiston. 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
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.
Choctaw, Montgomery
and Webster Counties.
