Sills starred in this dramatic and rarely performed gem alongside Shirley Verrett and Justino Diaz "'The Siege of Corinth' was performed in an Italian version prepared by Thomas Schippers in 1969 for La Scala under the title 'L'Assedio di Corinto.' This edition in turn was based on 'Le Siège de Corinthe,' Rossini's revision for Paris of an earlier work 'Maometto II,' from which Schippers reinstated numbers excised by the composer in adapting his tragedy for the French public.'"

Dylewski, 32, and Matthew J. Dylewski, 33, of Corinth Friday for five counts each of endangering the welfare of a child (class A misdemeanors) Both are accused of knowingly acting in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical mental or moral welfare of five children less than 17 years old the 3-year-old child who was the subject of the call was transported to Saratoga Hospital They were arraigned in the Corinth Town Court in front of the Honorable Michael T Woodcock and released to pretrial services pending further proceedings By Kevin Corinth Alleviating poverty has been a goal of the United States since the launch of the War on Poverty in the 1960s But what if the way we think about – and talk about – poverty is all wrong AEI Senior Fellow Kevin Corinth joins Nic Dunn on the Sutherland Institute’s Defending Ideas podcast They discuss how to elevate the nation’s understanding of how to truly measure and address poverty for American families in a way that is better oriented toward upward mobility and human flourishing The investigation into her death continues and officials say there’s an order of protection for her four surviving brothers and sisters The obituary for three-year-old Joycelynn Dylewski of Corinth posted by the Densmore Funeral Home says she loved to sing and dance with her siblings EMS was called to a home on Main Street in Corinth for a report of a child not breathing Investigators continue to look into the death of the three-year-old “It’s currently still under investigation,” said Saratoga County Undersheriff Jeffrey Brown “We do not have a death certificate for the deceased child yet We will once the toxicology report comes back and then we’ll have a better idea of where the investigation is going to go at that point.” As NewsChannel 13 previously reported In what officials called an update on the child death investigation they said the couple is each facing five counts of endangering the welfare of a child in connection with five children “These charges are due to the mental and moral welfare of how the children were being taken care of at the home by the parents,” said Undersheriff Brown “There are several other children in the home and the charges are applicable to all of the children who were at the home.” He said the four siblings have been removed and are with family “The children– there’s an order of protection in place from the court so the children are currently not with the parents.” Calling hours for Joycelynn are Thursday afternoon The Corinth apartment where a 3-year-old girl died has been condemned Joycelynn Dylewski died nearly two weeks ago The Corinth building inspector found the home unsanitary Emergency responders arrived to her family home Investigators are working to find out what exactly happened are facing five counts each of endangering the welfare of a child The charges are in connection with five different children They were both charged again last week with criminal contempt for allegedly violating a court order of protection that prevents them from being near their four other children NewsChannel 13 will continue to share new information as we get it Abercrombie & Kent's Adriatic Voyage takes passengers through the heart of the Corinth Canal Jacqueline Deely/Courtesy of Abercrombie & Kent StyleBlueprint is an easy drive from several large Southern cities offering a delightful escape for history buffs and foodies alike Here's your perfect day trip itinerary for a day trip to this charming MS town Create your free profile or log in to save this article less than three hours from major Southern cities like Oxford This charming small town offers a little something for everyone and we’ve put together the perfect itinerary to help you experience it all — from delicious eats to fascinating historical sites Before officially embarking on your adventures, fuel up with a delicious, hearty breakfast from Abe’s Grill the restaurant is known for tasty classics like pancakes and omelets And don’t skip the eatery’s famous homemade biscuits After breakfast, it’s time to start exploring!

branch or call 518-886-3400 The Corinth Canal is an engineering marvel that few cruise lines sail through I am perhaps even a little nervous for our voyage through the narrow Corinth Canal which allows ships to pass between the Ionian and the Aegean Seas Our yacht is about 63 feet wide and will squeeze through the world’s narrowest man-made canal The Corinth Canal is about 69 feet wide at the sea floor and closer to 79 feet at sea level—tight The idea for a canal cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth originated with the ancient Greeks and was later contemplated by the Romans But it wasn’t until the 19th century when French engineers finally sliced through the limestone rock The canal shaves hundreds of miles off the route between the Aegean and the Ionian Seas in our case making for a much quicker trip to Athens; the canal saves passengers 20 to 28 hours at sea such as when moving ships from the Mediterranean to the Greek Isles What many travelers might not realize is that sailing the Corinth Canal offers the opportunity to experience an engineering marvel and a waterway that is narrower and arguably more thrilling than the more well-known Panama Canal or Suez Canal It also allows for itineraries that include the less-visited port of Itea in Greece a UNESCO World Heritage site that dates back to the second millennium B.C The canal was closed for two years for repairs after a landslide in 2021 I was on the first passenger cruise ship to go through in 2024 Windstar hosts a private dinner in the ancient city of Ephesus in Türkiye our itinerary took us to Türkiye’s ancient Roman ruins at Ephesus including for a complimentary Windstar-hosted white-tablecloth dinner party among the ruins We visited Mykonos and Santorini in Greece quiet Myrina on the Greek island of Lemnos the kind of quaint place you dream about finding in Greece (when I posted a photo on social media a Greek friend chastised me for spreading the word about his “secret” island) hoping I’d be one of those people who feel a mysterious aura in a place where ancient Greeks sought guidance from oracles so I instead enjoyed the gorgeous views of olive trees and countryside from Mount Parnassus The all-suite Star Legend helps to provide a sense of place on board by serving local dishes and by bringing on a belly dancer who wiggled through the audience in the ship’s theater one evening The Star Legend is the kind of small ship where you make friends easily; the majority of passengers are couples in their forties and older There’s a casual yachtlike atmosphere on board It’s easy to feel at home here and just be yourself grabbing a nautical-blue couch in the Yacht Club at the bow and enjoying an excellent latte and perfectly crunchy almond croissant while looking through huge windows with the same views as the officers on the bridge a deck below heads to the aft of the ship to enjoy his eggs David and I have agreed to teach our favorite card game Cutting through the Corinth Canal allows for easier access to the ancient Greek site of Delphi Windstar is the official cruise line of the James Beard Foundation I’ve guiltily managed to get through seven days without hitting the gym (I did indulge in an excellent massage at the spa) Since I can’t walk on shore during this sea day walking around and around past some guests in the small pool and others reading in lounge chairs with everyone trying to figure out the best place to watch the experience We’re met by the tugboat that will tow us through the canal Local pilots come aboard our ship (as required by local authorities due to the challenges of navigating the difficult passage) along with a local guide hired by Windstar who provides historical commentary and context David and I head outside in front of the Yacht Club Another prime viewing spot is one deck below Our first view is such a narrow cut through land that our waterway looks like a small river though barriers marking the entrance give a clue that this is not a trip into nature The crew serves us snacks as we wait for clearance to proceed the nearly four-mile-long canal seems quite manageable But then it narrows and narrows until there are sheer sand-colored limestone walls mere feet from the sides of the ship as the captain and the pilot position on the bridge wings (outdoor step-out areas used when docking) so they can get a better view and make sure we don’t scrape the solid rock on either side I have a moment of trepidation when I realize that if they wanted they could reach out and grab the branches of bushes growing on the limestone cliffs some who have come by bus from Athens to watch ships pass through the canal which we reach in less than an hour after we entered the canal bungee jumpers seek an adrenaline rush by bouncing right above us and now breathe deeply after witnessing firsthand that we have successfully slipped through a true engineering feat AFAR participates in affiliate marketing

has been in operation for 50 years Preston Knight and Zeb Taylor eat their breakfasts at Abe's Grill in Corinth on Tuesday morning where the two are regular customers four days out of the week stands inside the pickup window of Corinth restaurant he and his wife Terri opened in 1974 Terri Whitfield prepares biscuits for customers breakfast orders early Tuesday morning in Corinth She and her husband Abe opened the restaurant in 1974 Ryan Whitfield works the grill at Abe's Grill in Corinth for the breakfast crowd that was steady all of Tuesday morning and every day since his parents Terri and Abe opened the doors in 1974 A customer walks into Abe's Grill in Corinth for breakfast on Tuesday morning CORINTH – There is no denying that the biscuits at Abe's Grill are among the finest anywhere they pair perfectly with a piece of tenderloin The biscuits are "The Mid-South's Favorite Homemade Biscuits," in fact – at least according to signs posted at the iconic spot off Highway 72 East in Corinth But don't take the restaurant's word for it; just ask the customers dennis.seid@djournal.com Come for the battlefields — stay for the slugburgers One of the reasons I wanted to road trip back to Corinth The city doesn’t necessarily have foodie street cred There were so many places I wanted to revisit that I was on a first-lunch/second-lunch kind of schedule a Depression-era invention in which hamburger meat is mixed with potato flakes or other starches to stretch a budget It is so named because they were originally sold for a nickel (nicknamed a “slug”) — not because slugs were used in the recipes I’m also proud of where I come from — both sides of my family are from Corinth — and I wanted to keep the tradition alive.”  Some places mix pork with the beef in a slugburger which limits where I personally can eat them Other favorite area dishes include country ham and pork barbecue so I asked Martin for some of his Corinth food picks — that way visitors aren’t limited by my dietary restrictions Martin gave nods to Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain for their slugburger; that one was already at the top of my list because I believe everything tastes better while sitting at an old-fashioned soda fountain adjusted for your personal tartness preference though I’m partial to the White Trolley Cafe but still not much.) Martin also loves Abe’s Grill which has some of the best hand-cut biscuits in the South (topped with ham or not) another Southern gem in Corinth is the Mississippi Delta tamale (even though Corinth is about two-and-a-half hours from the Delta) The spicy Delta tamale is smaller than a Latin tamale If you’ve never been to Dillworth’s Tamales a drive-thru serving the classics since 1962 they’ll give you your first dozen free — though a dozen costs $5.80 Dillworth’s makes theirs with all beef (I am a fan) and conveniently is across the street from Lauren’s Cake Shop I’m not saying I drove 180 miles (each way) for one of these cupcakes … but I’m also not saying I didn’t and the cake-to-frosting ratio is just right Faithful readers will remember that while I loved my trip to Hattiesburg in last year’s Road Trip Issue it was oppressively hot and I ate an obscene number of snowballs to cool off Northern Mississippi was refreshingly temperate but I did stop in Tepachelandia for a lemon-lime ice I was warmed up after getting caught in a rainstorm with grilled cheese and tomato soup at the Generals’ Quarters hotel Russell’s Beef House is the resident steakhouse with a serious salad bar Most people come to Corinth because of Shiloh National Military Park The great battlefield sites span the Tennessee-Mississippi state line My interest in all things Civil War is fairly limited a sculpture garden and bucolic walking trail with QR codes that tell the story of nearly 2,000 freed men who worked to rebuild their community and their lives after the war Corinth was once known as the “Crossroads of the South” because two rail lines intersected there That was one of the reasons Corinth was so crucial as a transportation hub during the war includes tons of artifacts about Corinth history including an old Dillworth’s tamale-delivery bike There’s a working train set where you can honk the horn on the trains and outside is a raised platform for train watching and a car you can climb on Transportation buffs will also like Dream Riderz Classic Cars a private collection of vintage cars dating back to the 1920s well-maintained museum that contains 110 years of Coca-Cola Bottling history The Visit Corinth tourism office has a cool follow the painted footsteps on the sidewalk reading historical markers about some of the buildings and also visiting some of the sites mentioned here Many are included in Corinth’s walkable downtown which is dotted with fun boutiques interspersed with restaurants and historic sites Love & a Dog Boutique for plus-size clothes and Sanctuary Antiques Luxury boutique hotel Generals’ Quarters was built in 1869 as a church built on the foundation of another church destroyed in the retreats from Shiloh Since then it has had a number of different owners and identities as a bordello It was named as an acknowledgment of the generals who occupied Corinth New ownership has completely renovated and modernized the space with big comfortable (air-conditioned) rooms You can hear the church bells from across the street ring on the hour It’s fun to flip through the guest book and read about folks — from as far away as New Zealand — who have stayed here as well as people who come for regular repeat visits It’s in easy walking distance to all of downtown Corinth’s charming restaurants The space doesn’t glorify Civil War history but there are photos from Confederate troops that may not feel appropriate to some guests I’ve stayed at the Hampton Inn Corinth in the past The one quirk about road-tripping to Corinth is that the best businesses have odd hours Some are open only Monday through Thursday I plotted out a Venn diagram of all the overlapping hours of all the best places and landed on Wednesday night through Saturday night as the optimum Corinth timeline most attractions — including the many delicious roadside Amish markets — are closed on Sundays But all the national battlefield sites are open on Sundays so those can be an easy visit on your way home after a weekend trip Corinth is a three-hour drive southwest of Nashville If you want to add a detour or a second road trip you can take the Natchez Trace Parkway for a portion of the route Our recommendations for five weekend getaways — from Athens to Corinth and beyond Exploring sustainability efforts at Neuhoff District Germantown’s adaptive reuse project puts the river front and center died Monday morning in a single-vehicle crash according to Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell The car Pounders was driving swerved off the road; she overcorrected trying to get back on She died at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth "It is with great sadness that I inform you that one of our students was killed this morning in a car accident," Corinth principal John Barnett said in a social media post and we grieve with the student’s family and friends we must continue to come together and support each other as the Corinth community we are respecting the family’s privacy and their time to grieve If there is something we can do to assist the family as a community we will communicate that information to you We are deeply saddened by this loss and will make every effort to continue to look after and care for one another."
