Walmart purse snatcher arrested ing of a purse in the store parking lot on Jan. 11. She posted $25,000 bond and was released. Capt. Dell Green said surveillance footage from Walmart led to the identification of the suspect, who was brought in for questioning and later charged.

Corinth police made an arrest in one of the recent Walmart parking lot crimes. Crystal Hughes, 38, of Corinth, was charged with burglary of a vehicle stemming from the tak-

She was accused of taking a purse from a parked vehicle about 1 p.m. Hughes allegedly opened the unlocked door of the vehicle and grabbed a purse off the front seat, even though a man was sitting in the back seat. The man tried to stop the

woman, who got into a car with another female and drove away. That happened three days after a woman was robbed at gunpoint in the store’s parking lot, and police have developed a bit more of a suspect description in the prior case.

The perpetrator is described as a heavy-set white male in his late 20s to early 40s with a scruffy beard and possibly wearing glasses. His height is estimated at 5 feet 8 inches. He Please see ARREST | 5A

More website access offered by newspaper In response to reader feedback, the Daily Corinthian is offering more free access on the newspaper’s website, dailycorinthian.com. The “pay wall” has been turned off for all news and sports stories posted to the site. A subscription is now required only to access the newspaper’s “E-edition,” which provides the full newspaper in PDF format. The change began Tuesday.

“People want to see the breaking news, and we want to be able to provide that,” said Editor Mark Boehler. “A good portion of the content is now available free. We still suggest the E-edition and print edition to get all of the news.” A subscription to the E-edition is $7.95 monthly. Subscribers to the print edition can add the electronic version for $2 monthly.

Capt. Dell Green. They may have also targeted stores in surrounding areas. Lonell Davis, 31, and Brian Orr, 49, both of Memphis, are each charged with two counts of grand larceny. They remained in custody Tuesday with bond at $20,000. Green said it is the first time he has seen a case

in which thieves sought a plastic item for the purpose of recycling for money. “On Jan. 4, we began receiving reports from local bakeries that someone had been stealing bread racks from behind grocery stores and merchants in town,” he said. Several thousand dollars worth of racks were taken in a period of about two weeks. Green said a check of

surveillance footage at two locations revealed that men in a yellow Penske rental truck were taking the racks. An officer on patrol Sunday observed a truck matching the same description behind Walmart. A records check showed the truck was stolen out of Memphis, and police found several bread racks inside the truck, said Green.

Police took the two men into custody. In other crime news, the police department is seeking tips on the theft of a van from Patterson Memorial Chapel. A gold 2000 Ford van was discovered missing from the funeral home near the intersection of Franklin and Fillmore on the evening of Dec. 28. The keys were not in the vehicle.

Today in History

Across the Region

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 27, the 27th day of 2016. There are 339 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 27, 1945, during World War II, Soviet troops liberated the Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz and Birkenau in Poland.

On this date: In 1880, Thomas Edison received a patent for his electric incandescent lamp. In 1944, during World War II, the Soviet Union announced the complete end of the deadly German siege of Leningrad, which had lasted for more than two years. In 1951, an era of atomic testing in the Nevada desert began as an Air Force plane dropped a one-kiloton bomb on Frenchman Flat. In 1967, astronauts Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, Edward H. White and Roger B. Chaffee died in a flash fire during a test aboard their Apollo spacecraft. More than 60 nations signed a treaty banning the orbiting of nuclear weapons. In 1973, the Vietnam peace accords were signed in Paris. In 1984, singer Michael Jackson suffered serious burns to his scalp when pyrotechnics set his hair on fire during the filming of a PepsiCola TV commercial at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. In 1998, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, on NBC’s “Today” show, charged the sexual misconduct allegations against her husband were the work of a “vast right-wing conspiracy.”

Basket Fund tops the $19,000 mark The spirit of giving continues into the new year in the Alcorn County area. One more donation arrived this week for the 20th Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 5. So far $19,146 has been raised. Recent donations include $200 from Mr. and Mrs. Van E. Hedges.

Mayor: Shop local after store closure TISHOMINGO COUNTY — The mayor of Belmont is asking residents to continue to shop local even after the Walmart Neighborhood Market shuts down later this month. Belmont Mayor Buddy Wiltsire is urging those customers who have been shopping at Walmart to support other Belmont businesses for their groceries, prescriptions and gasoline. He also said he hopes another business will soon take advantage of the soon to be empty Walmart building. Open only 13 months, the Belmont Walmart is set to close on Jan. 28.

High speed chase ends with accident SALTILLO — A highspeed chase results in a crash and the discovery of meth, cash and a firearm, according to WTVA. According to Saltillo Police Chief Grant Bailey, on Monday an officer tried to pull over a woman for speeding on Highway 45. When the officer tried making the stop, 22-year-old Lindsey

Downs of Saltillo sped off heading north. The chase went into the Baldwyn city limits with speeds reaching up to 145 miles-per-hour. Downs was arrested after she crashed her car. Inside the car, officers found 92.8 grams of meth and more than $1,000 in cash. She also had a pistol strapped to her waist but didn’t tell officers about it. It turned out that the pistol was stolen from Tupelo.

DA gives statement on Noah Chamberlin PINSON, Tenn. — Amid rampant speculation about how Noah Chamberlin died, District Attorney General Jerry Woodall released a statement Monday, including the findings of a preliminary autopsy. Woodall said he released the new information because he wanted to put a rest to all the speculation on social media that foul play was involved. Many who live in the Pinson community say they hate to see the community that came together to find him, be torn apart by rumors about his death. Noah’s death is a tragedy that has triggered a lot of speculation but according to Jerry Woodall how Noah died is no longer a mystery. Preliminary autopsy results show Noah succumbed to hypothermia. He was found exactly one week after he disappeared while on a nature hike with his grandmother and 4-year-old sister. “Noah got done playing so he laid down and took a nap and he woke up in front of his creator,” Chamberlin family spokesperson Andy Mor-

This week, two years ago, I was homeless. As I slept in my vehicle, I begged God to help me “clean up” my life from a 15-year addiction to alcohol. By His mercy, not only has He restored my health and my home, he provided the opportunity for me to acquire a hometown business, Plaza Dry Cleaners. I believe it is no coincidence God led me to the “cleaning business”. If I can help “clean up” your garments or share how Jesus can “clean up” your life, it would be a privilege to serve you. In this new year, let me put “clean” in your routine.

ris said. “If you have to pick a way to go, that’s the best way.” Since the beginning law enforcement have said no foul play was involved but petitions circulating online argue differently. Woodall refuted them in a statement, saying in his opinion “there were no criminal acts.” “They’re going to think what they’re going to think,” Maddox said. “But it brought closure and a lot of questions were answered.” The petition also claims Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver was close to the Chamberlin family and shouldn’t have been involved in the investigation, something the D.A. said is also false. “People are going to talk and you can’t stop that it’s their right,” Morris said. “But it’s our hope that they see the truth and see that this is a much bigger picture than you can speculate from an arm chair.” A more positive petition is also gaining popularity online proposing to re-name the portion of Highway 45 that runs through Pinson The Noah Chamberlin Memorial Highway to keep his memory alive.

Party rules will force two-way GOP race BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

When will some of the dozen or so Republican candidates withdraw so we can focus on a two-way race and make a clear decision? Will Rubio, Kasich, Bush, Christie, Carson, Fiorina, Huckabee, Paul, Santorum et al ever get the message and pull out? They won’t have to. The party rules will force them out, de facto, on March 1. On that date, 14 states will select their delegates to the national convention. A total of 701 delegates will be selected, more than twothirds of the total needed to win the nomination. But, of these, 388 will be awarded by proportional representation with a minimum threshold to qualify for delegates. To have a shot at 298 of these delegates (including Texas’ 152) a candidate will need to win at least 20 percent of the vote. Anyone falling short of that total won’t get in on splitting the delegates by proportional representation. So, if Trump gets, for example, 35 percent in a given state and Cruz gets 30 percent, they will divide the delegates proportionately. But if Rubio, Bush, Paul, Kasich, Christie and the others get less than 20 percent of the vote each, they will get no delegates at all. There is little chance of the field whittling down sufficiently for any of these candidates to break the 20 percent threshold, and certainly it would be impossible for more than one to do so. Thus, de facto, the GOP nomination process will be a two-way race after March 1. Like a freeway that merges from a dozen lanes to two, there will be a mess of traffic and angry campaign managers, but the process is inexorable. In Texas, there is a 20 percent threshold for the statewide at large delegates and a separate 20 percent threshold for each congressional district’s delegates. Another 90 delegates will be selected on March 1 by states with either a 15 percent or a 13 percent threshold, making a two-way race in these states somewhat likely. On March 5 and March 8, 93 more delegates will be selected in 20 percent threshold states and another 81 from 15 percent threshold states. So, by March 8, 562 delegates will have been chosen by proportional representation from states with 15 percent or 20 percent threshold requirements – for all practical purposes high enough to keep all but two candidates out. Over the same period, 370 delegates will be selected in states with low or no thresholds. There would be no bar to Rubio, Bush, Kasich, Christie or Paul getting at least a slice of these delegates, but so will Trump and Cruz. Combined, the Trump and Cruz vote totals from these states and from the high threshold states will likely be so high that the small number of delegates these candidates might win in low or no threshold states will not matter much in the final outcome. And then come the winner take all primaries beginning with Florida, Missouri, and Ohio on March 15th. These will deal the final deathblow to all other candidates (especially to Bush and Rubio should they lose Florida). A by-product of forcing a two-way race at the outset is that the nominee will likely be known by March 16th. We will have a pretty clear idea of who will win by then.

Part II: Do emotions Trump facts? Former governor Sarah Palin is an intelligent person, contrary to how liberals have tried to portray her. So it seemed to me that, if anybody could explain why they were promoting the candidacy of Donald Trump, it would be Governor Palin. But I listened in vain for any evidence or logic that would provide a reason to vote for Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States. There were lots of ringing assertions, just as in Trump’s own speeches, but no convincing facts or demonstrable reasons. After all these months, no coherent plans have emerged from the rhetoric of “The Donald” – just sweeping boasts about all the things he says he will achieve. But boasts about the unknown future are hardly reassuring. However puzzling the fervent support for Donald Trump may be today, given how little basis there is for it, such blind faith is not unique in history. Other dire or desperate times have produced other charismatic leaders to whom desperate people have turned, with hopes of deliverance. Trump is certainly different from establishment Republicans, but it that

enough? Things were appalling in 1917 Russia, when people turned to Thomas Lenin to try Sowell to get them out of a diColumnist sastrous war abroad and a bitter economic situation at home. The fact that Lenin was quite different from the czar who had led the country into catastrophe might have seemed promising to some people. He was also different from the ineffective Kerensky government that failed in its brief months in office. But the totalitarian government that Lenin established proved to be even worse than its predecessors. The idea that someone quite different from those who led a nation into disaster can be expected to produce an improvement is a non sequitur that has seduced many people in many places and times. Germany’s Weimar Republic was nobody’s idea of an ideal government but Hitler’s reign that followed was far worse in every way. Many Americans denounced the rule of the Shah of Iran, but he was

never a worldwide sponsor of terrorism, like those who replaced him. A pattern that would appear in many other places and times was one in which people’s hopes became focused on someone new, charismatic and with ringing rhetoric – but utterly untested for the job of governing a nation. That is where we are today. The Republican field of candidates has had a number of people with experience governing at the state level, so that they have a track record that we could scrutinize. But the media obsession with Trump has left little time for weighing the pros and cons of those governors. Some of them have already had to withdraw before we learned whether their qualifications were good, bad or indifferent. This may be a misfortune for their political careers but it can turn out to be a disaster for the country, if it leaves the field open only to people whom we must judge solely on the basis of their rhetoric. There are still some governors left in the running, but they are not among the candidates who have the highest support in the polls,

where most have received the support of fewer than 10 percent of the voters polled. Former governor Jeb Bush looked like the front runner at the outset, especially with his impressive amount of money in his campaign chest. But it is not nearly as easy to buy an election as some commentators seemed to think, so perhaps we can take some solace from the discrediting of that notion. We might also take some solace from the support received by Dr. Ben Carson, despite the media-fed notion that conservatives are racists. Even after his brief time leading the candidates in the polls has passed, Dr. Carson remains the candidate with the highest favorability rating among Republican voters who were polled. But there are few other things to feel positive about as the primaries approach. Common sense by the voters may be the best we can hope for. And that can save the day, after all. In fact, they may be all that can save the day. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Roasters ready to light up Rep. Gregg Harper Looking back, it’s rather remarkable that such a wide array of political and business leaders and other high achievers have agreed to willingly subject themselves to ridicule one night each year by the state’s press. Yet for three decades now, the Mississippi Press Association Education Foundation has raised a laudable amount of money for journalism scholarships and internships on the backs of otherwise sensible public figures – many of whom share the same affection for reporters, columnists and editorial writers that well-bred dogs exhibit for fireplugs. I’ve had the pleasure of taking part in most of those events. In most years, the honorees have been top notch. The “celebrity” roast format has produced some really funny moments and the “roasters” – those who volunteer to skewer the guest of honor – have included some of Mississippi’s best known political and business figures for an evening of fun that benefits Mississippi students. In 2016, none of those folks were available as the

MLK Service Day draws crowd of volunteers For the Daily Corinthian

BLUE MOUNTAIN — By the time the students, faculty and staff of Blue Mountain College set out to serve their community in various capacities on Martin Luther King, Jr. Service Day on Monday, Jan. 18, it was 25 degrees outside. Even though most had to bundle up in several layers, it didn’t stop the BMC pop-

ulation, which included faculty, staff and students, from getting busy working or visiting with residents of different nursing homes. The annual tradition of serving others in honor of the slain civil rights hero, brought out a large crowd of 191 BMC volunteers looking to help in any way possible. Members of the college population each signed

up for over 20 different projects that spanned areas throughout North and Central Mississippi and even Tennessee. Groups set out to clean a high school campus, pick up litter on local streets, visit residents of several nursing homes, conduct church for children, sanitize church buildings and organize clothes for victims of the recent tornado disas-

ter in the northern part of Tippah County, Miss. BMC Director of Alumni Affairs, Nancy McDonald led a group of participants to the Sanctuary Hospice House of Tupelo, Miss. McDonald and her group got the opportunity to sing with and entertain the residents. “We love going and singing for the residents at Sanctuary. Seeing their

smiles, we come away knowing we have received the bigger blessing,” McDonald said. Being consistently ranked as one of the best regional colleges in the southern United States by U.S. News and World Report, service has remained high on the agenda for Blue Mountain. Blue Mountain College President Dr. Barbara

McMillin commented on the event, “We are thankful that so many of our faculty, staff and students found meaningful ways in which to invest themselves in service to our community and to the surrounding area on MLK Day. An opportunity such as this reminds us that we can make a difference when we are intentional in effort and united in mission.”

After this close call, we were glad to be alive BY JIMMY REED Special Columnist

Ned’s tractor wouldn’t shift gears, so he headed toward the shop at my father’s Mississippi Delta farm to see if the mechanic could figure out what was wrong. As he drove along the blacktop road, the warm spring sun, the engine’s soothing hum, and the wind caressing his face lulled him to sleep. Meandering aimlessly, the tractor eased off the road, rolled down the embankment, splashed into a ditch, and stalled. Awakened by the abrupt halt, Ned found himself in a heap of trouble. The

tractor was bogged down, the transmission was stuck in gear, the muffler had fallen off, and the engine wouldn’t restart. Having loaded poles, tackle, minnows, and snacks into Matilda, his beloved truck, my boyhood best friend and mentor Jaybird picked me up and was driving down the road toward our favorite fishing hole when he spotted the tractor. “Lawd, Ned, looks like you done got yo’self in a sho-nuff mess,” Jaybird said. “I sho’ have. It won’t crank and it’s stuck in gear. Can y’all pull me to the shop?” Jaybird nodded.

As the chain connecting truck and tractor tightened, Jaybird warned, “Ned, be sho’ to keep yo’ foot on the clutch — else we can’t pull you.” As truck and tractor neared the shop, Jaybird slowed down, which allowed the chain to slacken a bit. Not wanting to bump Matilda, Ned let out on the clutch. Instantly, the tractor, in gear and with its throttle wide open, exploded into life. Terrified, Ned catapulted from the seat and fled. Someone once noted that mules will work for you ten years for an opportunity to kick you once. So will cantankerous old

tractors. Just such a tractor now had its opportunity. Two frantic faces — Jaybird’s and mine — peered through the truck’s rear window as the driverless tractor shot by with Matilda slewing and bouncing backward behind, scattering fishing poles, tackle, minnows, and tools in her wake. Inside the cab, chicken bones, snuff cans, rifles, cartridges, an old black man and a frightened white boy swirled kaleidoscopically. Onward the un-muffled, metallic monster charged, roaring louder, blowing smoke rings, and galloping faster and faster. Like

a giant tomcat fleeing a tin can tied to its tail, it charged straight through a cloud of squawking, flapping, white chickens, straight through a loaded clothesline — straight toward the barn, barely missing a braying mule. When the tractor plunged its nose into the barn’s feed trough, it stopped, but still the rear tires churned, digging deeper until the fiendish brute’s screaming motor gave one last valiant howl, shuddered and died. Only the mule’s mournful brays broke the silence. Scratched, shaken, and frightened out of our wits, Jaybird and I crawled

out of Matilda. After he’d calmed down a bit and caught his breath, the old black man dusted himself off, looked woefully at his banged-up truck, turned to me and said, “Boy, I don’t know ’bout you, but fishin’ is the last thing on my mind … I’m jes’ glad to be alive.” (Oxford resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed (jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com) is a newspaper columnist, author, and college teacher.

ARREST

Flint is subject of news special AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow says she planned a special broadcast on the Flint, Michigan, water crisis out of concern that assigning political blame was getting more attention than the needs of the city’s residents. Maddow is hosting a special televised town hall meeting from Flint on Wednesday featuring Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow from Michigan, some medical experts and Flint residents. It will air at 9 p.m. EST, during the typical time slot for her show. “This is not the time for lessons learned from Flint,” Maddow said in an interview. “They actually need a lot more intervention than they’ve been getting.” After an emergency city manager switched Flint’s water supply to Flint River water in 2014, the corrosive water caused lead to leach from old pipes, and elevated lead levels were discovered in children. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that “every single American should be outraged” by what happened and suggested there would have been quicker corrective action if it took place in a rich white suburb. Flint is 57 percent black.

Since the story has attracted national attention, there’s been a tendency among journalists and politicians “to extrapolate from Flint and use it for some broader political agenda,” Maddow said. While there is room for political accountability, Maddow said those talks should be directed at the question of whether people responsible for the problem should be entrusted to fix it. Maddow said she’s been surprised at the response from her viewers to the story, with many seeking to donate money to help residents. “We actually worried that we had created an opportunity for con artists, because we had created this demand to give money,” she said. Maddow has done several stories on Flint for

her show, often focusing on the Michigan law that allowed Gov. Rick Snyder to appoint an emergency manager with power over elected Flint officials. Snyder, a Republican, hasn’t responded to an invitation to attend the town meeting organized by the liberal-leaning network’s best-known personality. His office did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment. “Hope springs eternal,” Maddow said. “I will not say he’s not coming until we get there and he’s not there. We’re doing everything we can to try to get him to come.” MSNBC has also announced that Maddow will co-anchor the network’s Iowa caucus coverage with Brian Williams next week.

State of the State calls Trump’s wife remains private for ‘blue-collar’ tax cuts despite prospect of presidency BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant called for “blue-collar” tax cuts, public school choice and more spending on the state’s troubled foster care system and crumbling highways during his annual State of the State address on Tuesday. Two weeks after starting his second term, Republican Bryant told lawmakers and other elected officials that the Mississippi government budget has grown significantly in the past five years. “Perhaps, after reviewing state spending since 2011, it may be time to slow down the growth of government and give some relief to the hardworking taxpayers,” Bryant said to applause from the audience in the House chamber. While Bryant did not

propose a specific type of tax cut, he clearly did not embrace Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves’ proposal to phase out the franchise tax, which would give businesses a $400 million break over 10 years. “I believe we must work toward a plan where the hardworking, blue-collar families of Mississippi get a tax dividend,” said Bryant, who often mentions in public appearances that his father was a diesel mechanic. “It may not be this year, but when we are having surpluses and a full savings account, let’s pledge to give the people back a portion of their hard-earned tax dollars.” Bryant said parents should be able to choose which public schools their children attend, and he called on legislators to remove barriers to creation of more charter schools, which are public schools that operate under a sep-

arate governing board. He also said he wants to eliminate the election of school superintendents and go to a system of appointment by local school boards — a proposal that has failed for decades amid opposition from politically connected elected superintendents. Mississippi Economic Council, the state chamber of commerce, is pushing lawmakers to invest millions in repairing highways and bridges. “There is no reason we cannot balance an increase in fuel tax, if there is one, with an equal and sufficient tax reduction,” Bryant said. The governor for the first time released details of his state budget proposal for fiscal 2017, which starts July 1, saying: “It is full of tough decisions and sound business practices, and it will not make everyone happy.”

WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump. If that prospect evokes no clear image, that’s no accident. Donald Trump’s wife has said little in the campaign about the type of first lady she’d like to be should her husband win the Republican nomination and the presidency. The distance, she’s said, is intentional so she can focus on the couple’s 9-year-old son, Barron. But should he become the GOP candidate for the fall, the Slovenianborn model, mother and multilingual speaker would face big decisions about her family, her life and her potential position in American history. The presidential voting starts when Iowans caucus Feb. 1. For now, Melania Trump is her husband’s top supporter at events, a striking brunette swathed in couture, frequently seen but seldom heard. Her first campaign turn came in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in November, as the candidate called his family on stage during a rally. Turning to Melania, his third wife, Trump asked if she’d like to say something. She stepped to the microphone and cocked a manicured thumb over an elegant shoulder. “Isn’t he the best?”

WE CLEAN CARPET!

Mrs. Trump, 45, asked the crowd in heavily accented English. “He will be the best president ever. We love you!” Like her husband, she is not given to understatement. As his supporters roared, Donald Trump gave her a kiss and could be heard saying: “Thank you, honey. Very nice.” It was the barest of glimpses into the life of a couple who celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary Friday. Their relationship began at least six years earlier, dating back to the 1998 party in Manhattan when the newly separated Trump asked then-model Melania Knauss, 24 years his junior, for her telephone number. By the next year, they were a couple. Trump was seeking the Reform Party nomination in the 2000 presidential election. His girlfriend was asked how she viewed herself if ever she became first lady. “I would be very traditional,” she told The New York Times. “Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy.” Neither woman was all that traditional of course: Betty Ford, wife of Gerald, championed the Equal Rights Amendment. Jackie Kennedy, wife of Jack, let Americans into the first family’s life in White House through television. Now in the age of social media, would Me-

lania Trump stay as far above the political fray as the couple’s triplex overlooking Central Park? That’s largely up to the Trumps, but they’re in no hurry to decide. Through a spokeswoman, Mrs. Trump declined an interview request from The Associated Press. In many ways, Melania Trump would be a first in American history: She’d be the only first lady who is the third wife of a president, and the first to be born and raised in a communist nation, according to Carl Anthony, historian at the National First Ladies’ Library. She almost certainly has shown more skin than any other U.S. first lady — that was her in 2006, very pregnant, in a gold bikini on the steps of her husband’s private jet in Vogue magazine. By 2016, Melania Trump has gotten married, had a child and adopted a much more traditional posture as a candidate’s spouse. She wouldn’t be the first president’s wife to be born in another country — that would be Louisa Adams, born in England. Nor would she be the first first lady to have married a divorced man — hello, Nancy Reagan. And she’d be the third first lady to have worked as a professional model, after Pat Nixon and Betty Ford.

Inmate was ordered deported to Vietnam SANTA ANA, Calif. â€” One of three inmates who escaped from an Orange County jail was ordered deported to Vietnam in 1998 but remained in the country and racked up a lengthy rap sheet, immigration officials said Tuesday. Bac Duong, 43, came to the United States legally in 1991 but was ordered removed seven years later, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement. The statement did not say why. Duong checked in with federal immigration officials as required until August 2014, the statement said. U.S. officials canâ€™t detain immigrants indefinitely while they await deportation and must release most after six months. Under a 2008 agreement, Vietnam will provide travel documents to help repatriate immigrants but only those who entered the U.S. after July 1995. Duong and two other inmates escaped from an Orange County jail Friday by sawing through a quarter-inch thick grill on a dormitory wall and climbing through plumbing tunnels to reach an unguarded area of the roof, where they moved aside razor wire and rappelled to the ground using a bed linen.

Library gets book back decades later HOLLAND, Mich. â€” A book has been returned to a library in western Michigan â€” 49 years later. The borrower told the library that he was a college student in 1967 when he checked out a book about World War II from the Herrick library in Holland. He wrote in a letter that the book was stored in a trunk that hadnâ€™t been opened until recently. He also provided a donation with his letter. Library director Diane Kooiker declined to identify the book, the manâ€™s name or the amount of money given to the library. In his letter to the library, the man described it as a â€œmodest donationâ€? to cover what

could be a â€œtremendous fine.â€? Â

Scientists: Clock shows grave threat STANFORD, Calif. â€” Rising tension between Russia and the U.S., North Koreaâ€™s recent nuclear test and a lack of aggressive steps to address climate change are putting the world under grave threat, scientists behind a â€œDoomsday Clockâ€? that measures the likelihood of a global cataclysm said Tuesday. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the minute hand on the metaphorical clock remained at three minutes-to-midnight. The clock reflects how vulnerable the world is to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change and new technologies, with midnight symbolizing apocalypse. â€œUnless we change the way we think, humanity remains in serious danger,â€? said Lawrence Krauss, chair of the bulletinâ€™s Board of Sponsors.

Federal court will mull public prayer RALEIGH, N.C. â€” A federal appeals court will consider whether county commissioners in North Carolina violated the Constitution by delivering Christian prayers at their meetings and inviting audience members to join. The case marks the first time a federal appeals court has considered how local councils conduct prayers since a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upheld a New York townâ€™s use of predominantly Christian invocations at its meetings. A three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled on Wednesday to hear Rowan Countyâ€™s effort to overturn a federal judgeâ€™s ruling that local officials ran afoul of constitutional requirements separating church and state. There is a key difference between the two cases: Rowan County commissioners delivered the prayers themselves, while the Town Board in Greece, New York, invited local clergy or laypeople to do so,

Chase plans rollout of card-free ATMs NEW YORK â€” Soon, losing your ATM card wonâ€™t be the financial life-stopping event it used to be. Just donâ€™t also lose your phone. JPMorgan Chase customers will soon be able to withdraw cash or initiate other transactions using their cellphone at Chase ATMs being upgraded later this year. The move will include new cash machines that donâ€™t require a card and upgrades to existing machines that will allow customers to withdraw more money and in different denominations, said Chase spokesman Michael Fusco. The withdrawal limit will also be substantially higher, up to $3,000 during branch hours. The first generation of these new ATMs will allow customers to access the machine by inputting a code found on their Chase mobile app, Fusco said. Future upgrades of machines will allow customers to use their cell phoneâ€™s nearfield wireless communication feature to access their accounts, using the technology that enables shopping checkout features such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Health care system punishes millenials WASHINGTON â€” Millions of young adults healthy enough to think they donâ€™t need insurance face painful choices this year as the sign-up deadline approaches for President Barack Obamaâ€™s health care law. Fines for being uninsured rise sharply in 2016 â€” averaging nearly $1,000 per household, according to an independent estimate. Itâ€™s forcing those in their 20s and 30s to take a hard look and see if they can squeeze in coverage to avoid penalties. Many are trying to establish careers or just make progress in a still-bumpy economy. â€œThereâ€™s only so far one can dwindle a ramen-noodle diet,â€? said Christopher Rael of Los Angeles.

Stennis employees face layoff prospect BAY ST. LOUIS â€” Hundreds of employees at Stennis Space Center are hoping to keep their jobs after the contract to support the operations and maintenance of Stennis Space Center changes Feb. 1. The Sun Herald reports layoff notices are going out to employees, and those who donâ€™t have a job offer from new contractor Syncom Space Services LLC -- also known as S3 -- shouldnâ€™t report to work on Monday. Meg Manthey, spokeswoman for S3, said the company held several meetings with employees of Stennis and Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to explain the new contract and the timeline. â€œItâ€™s a consolidation of three contracts into one,â€? she said. Personnel from S3 are meeting with congressional delegations this week to explain the new contract. Its name -- Synergy Achieving Consolidated Operations & Maintenance (SACOM) contract -- shows NASA wants to consolidate services to save money at Stennis and Michoud. Â

Jobless rate jumps as more seek work JACKSON â€” Mississippiâ€™s unemployment rate jumped in December as the economy didnâ€™t generate enough jobs to absorb more people looking for work. The jobless rate rose to 6.4 percent from 6 percent in November, as the increasing number of job-seekers outstripped the number of new people reporting having a job for the second month in a row. That pushed up the number of unemployed people statewide to almost 83,000, an increase of nearly 6,000 A separate survey shows Mississippi payrolls rose slightly in December, and total payrolls remained 10,000 higher than last December. Both sets of figures â€” adjusted to cancel out seasonal changes â€” were released Tuesday by the U.S. Labor Department. Mississippi remained

above the nationâ€™s 5 percent unemployment rate, tying for the third-highest jobless rate among the states. Â

School board rates yearâ€™s performance COLUMBUS â€” The Columbus Municipal School District board of Trustees has evaluated its performance, setting goals that include emphasizing better meeting decorum and promoting greater involvement from the public. The Commercial Dispatch reports the purpose of the Saturday meeting was for the board to review itself and set goals for the year. The board agreed that it successfully â€œkeeps the education and welfare of students as their primary concern.â€? Board members found they have room to improve in several areas. These included promoting transparency, assuring that the board â€œrepresents the interests of the entire district rather than special interest groups,â€? emphasizing good meeting decorum and encouraging greater outside involvement.

Records: Woman impaired in crash PASCAGOULA â€” Court records show a Mississippi woman was under the influence of prescription drugs when she swerved into another lane and hit a pickup truck head-on, killing a 4-year-old Louisiana boy and seriously injuring four others.

Fed meeting

Today

When will the Federal Reserve hike interest rates again? Wall Street will be listening for an answer to that question today, when the central bank is scheduled to deliver an update following its latest two-day policy meeting. Last month, the panel raised its target for short-term interest rates for the first time in nine years. The Federal Reserve has said that it will be patient in raising interest rates and that it will take inflation levels and the strength of the economy into account.

Monsanto restructures The world’s largest seed company is slimming down as it slashes jobs and restructures its business to maintain profits. The St. Louis company said earlier this month it would cut 3,600 jobs over the next two years, about 16 percent of its 22,500 employees. The cuts are part of a cost-saving effort to help weather reduced demand for Monsanto’s best-selling products: genetically-modified seeds. With crop prices at their lowest levels in years, farmers have less money to spend on Monsanto’s high-tech seeds, which have traits like protection against insects and disease. At the same time,

weaker currencies in Argentina and Brazil and a stronger dollar have squeezed revenue. In the first quarter sales fell 23 percent to $2.2 billion, well below Wall Street expectations. The company also warned its 2016 results would be at the low-end of its guidance, $5.10 to $5.60 per share. Investors have responded to the negative outlook by selling Monsanto shares, which are down nearly 23 percent from last year. Edward Jones analyst Matt Arnold says the headwinds will continue in 2016, “but the good news is we think the worst is over in terms of deterioration.”

Cutting back: Monsanto plans to eliminate 3,600 jobs in an effort to reduce costs, responding to lower seed sales and negative currency rates that are pressuring company profits.

Woman questions her past affair WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Annie: Several years ago, I had a much talked about affair with an older married man at my office. It lasted for several years. I was single at the time, and I met him at a very low period in my life. He told me I was smart, pretty and fun to be with. He showered me with flowers and gifts. He led me to believe his marriage was loveless and his only happiness was seeing me at work and talking to me on the phone. We did everything leading up to sex, but never actually completed intercourse due to religious reasons. After a few years, I met the man I am now married to. The older man became very angry and began harassing me, emotionally and verbally. I reported him to my supervisors several times, but it only made matters worse. He has finally retired, but I still feel him watching me. I can’t prove anything, and I can’t tell my husband because he has no idea how involved we were. Aside from warning other women to beware of married men bearing love and gifts, what can I do? — Learned My Lesson Dear Learned: If your affair did not include intercourse and it happened before you met your husband, he may be more understanding than

Annie’s Mailbox you think. Everyone makes mistakes. Also, if the people in your office are aware of the relationship, your husband may find out about it anyway. A loving spouse can be a tremendous source of support, and your husband may be perfectly willing to forgive this lapse in judgment. Nonetheless, it will help you to talk to someone, and if your husband is not the right person, please consider discussing your fears with a counselor or clergyperson. The more serious problem is the possibility that the ex is stalking you. If you ever catch him watching your home, car or office, or following you anywhere, please notify the police immediately and, if necessary, get a restraining order. Dear Annie: I have read many letters in your column from mothers-inlaw who don’t understand why they have a strained relationship with their daughters-in-law. May I

add a perspective from the other side? We lived a couple of miles from my in-laws. We had a good relationship until our children were born. Then my MIL dropped in unannounced at least once a day. She refused to call in advance, despite numerous requests to do so. Her attitude was overbearing and critical. She had nothing positive to say, and criticized our house, child rearing and financial decisions. She loudly and repeatedly accused me of putting my kids in front of the TV all day, which was blatantly untrue. A new job across the country helped separate me from her venom. Her terrible behavior and her efforts to hang on to her son cost her a decent relationship with my husband and any connection to her grandchildren. Perhaps the letter writers need to honestly examine their own behavior to determine the cause of their family strife. It isn’t always the daughter-in-law. — Been There, Survived Dear Been: How sad for everyone. We hope all estranged family members will make a genuine effort to consider whether their own actions need adjusting before placing the blame on the other person.
