Supervisors take care of jail, prison matters BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Several items from the sheriﬀ’s department and correctional facility came before the Board of Supervisors this week. • The board approved the hiring of Rick Roach and Chris Settlemires as full-time deputies eﬀective March 1. • The board approved

switching from Brothers Commissary to Keefe Commissary Network for the correctional facility’s commissary service eﬀective in March when the Brothers contract expires. • Sheriﬀ Ben Caldwell reported that one of the inmate transport vans was recently involved in a wreck in the Batesville area, possibly totaling the

vehicle. In the van were eight Mississippi Department of Corrections inmates and two oﬃcers en route to Parchman. No one was injured, and it was not the new transport van. • Caldwell said he has had a number of questions from organizations about inmate labor recently. The facility has

been averaging 14 to 16 inmates available for labor. It started at 20 inmates for which the county gets no reimbursement and has decreased as some have been transferred or ran into trouble. “We’re doing the best we can with what we have,” said Caldwell. “We try to prioritize the county government first and then

the other organizations. I wish we had 50 or 60 like we used to have.” • With a recent increase in MDOC inmates lasting for only about a month, the correctional facility is currently at the contractual minimum of 240. The county had estimated about 25 more per month are needed to break even. • The county has

reached the peak cash flow period of the year with the January tax settlement sending $2,576,826.01 to the general fund; $298,153.44 to roads; and $178,450.23 to bridges and culverts. • Supervisors approved a contract with Network Ballistics for computer support at a cost of $1,200 per month.

Civitan Club shows business appreciation BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Expressing gratitude for their community partners, the Corinth Civitan Club hosted a special “thank you” on Wednesday. “We wanted to do something to recognize our local businesses for everything they do for us throughout the year,” said Club President Lesley Raines. “They are a vital part of our club and we appreciate everything they do to assist us in continuing our mission of aiding local youth.” Meeting at Pizza Grocery at noon, club members and oﬃcers honored contributing businesses by presenting them with commemorative plaques. Those recognized were Gardner’s and Roger’s Supermarkets, Taylor’s Escape, Belk of Corinth and Medical Plaza/Gooseberry Frozen Yogurt on Harper Road. Joe’s Shoes was honored in absentia. “Like us, these businesses are all about giving back to children, as are we,” said Raines. “We could not do what we do and make the impact we have without them.” A shining example of community volunteerism, the Civitan Club has its own international re-

Just over 60 years old, the Corinth Civitan Club was chartered in November of 1956 inside the Waldron Hotel with the mission of providing networking, fellowship, community involvement, personal development and community service with a special emphasis on helping people with develop-

mental disabilities. The Club’s first president was longtime Chancery Clerk Herman Madden. Continuing the legacy started by Madden, over six decades ago, Civitan members plan a variety of events and activities each year in an eﬀort to give back. Some of their projects include awarding the Roscoe Turner Memorial Scholarship to a deserving senior from each local high school and providing Christmas presents (from Belk of Corinth

The group also holds an annual steak sale, volunteers for events at the Crossroads Arena and raises funds through the sale of their popular Claxton fruit cakes. “One of my favorite aspects of Civitans is the emphasis placed on helping children,” said Corinth Civitan Club Vice-President Zeb Taylor. “The Christmas Day we plan for them each year is always my favorite because I love to see the expressions of joy and gratitude on their faces.” “My other favorite part is awarding scholarships to high school seniors because education opens up so many doors,” he continued. Always on the lookout for new members, the Corinth Civitan Club meets at noon on the first through fourth Wednesday of each month at Taylor’s Escape on Hwy 72.

She also said she wanted to talk to the kindergarteners about their first dental visit in the hopes of easing any anxiety. Students also saw Teresa Allen, a radiology technician from Magnolia Regional Health Center, who explained X-rays to the students. The students rotated from classroom to classroom in stages so that each kindergartener had the opportunity to meet each community helper. The kindergarteners giggled and whispered in anticipation before they reached each room with a new helper to meet. Prior to meeting the community helpers, students got to hear the Corinth High School coaches and athletic director speak with the students about respect, responsibility and being ready to learn as they grow in their education. After meeting community helpers, the children sang briefly for their parents in the gym and then students and parents were scheduled to enjoy a picnic lunch afterward in the gym. CES kindergarten teacher Katie Draper said this was the second year the school has hosted the event and last year it was one of their most beloved days.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Feb. 26, the 57th day of 2017. There are 308 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On Feb. 26, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Mount McKinley National Park (now Denali National Park) in the Alaska Territory. The Original Dixieland Jass Band (an all-white group) made what’s generally regarded as the first commercial jazz recording, “Dixie Jass Band OneStep” and “Livery Stable Blues,” in New York for the Victor label.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba and headed back to France in a bid to regain power. In 1904, the United States and Panama proclaimed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to undertake efforts to build a ship canal across the Panama isthmus. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. In 1942, “How Green Was My Valley” won the Academy Award for best picture of 1941, beating out nine other films, including “The Maltese Falcon” and “Citizen Kane”; Gary Cooper was named best actor for “Sergeant York,” while Joan Fontaine was recognized as best actress for “Suspicion.” In 1945, authorities ordered a midnight curfew at nightclubs, bars and other places of entertainment across the nation. In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb. In 1962, after becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, astronaut John Glenn told a joint meeting of Congress, “Exploration and the pursuit of knowledge have always paid dividends in the long run.” In 1970, National Public Radio was incorporated.

Across the Region Booneville Police make felony arrests BOONEVILLE — Booneville police have made several drug arrests recently. Among those arrested were: • Ashley Franks, 29, was arrested Feb. 15 by Booneville Police and the Mississippi Department of Corrections for misdemeanor possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia at 206-B Brewer Street. Franks was trans-

ported to the Prentiss County jail and remains in custody. • Charles Scott Cole, 57, of Booneville, was arrested Feb. 17, after Booneville Police made a traffic stop on South Second Street around 2:30 a.m. for an improper equipment violation, said Police Chief Michael Ramey. During the officer’s investigation there was a discovery of alleged methamphetamine. Cole was arrested and transported to the Prentiss County jail and charged with felony possession

of methamphetamine. His bond was set at $5,000. All cases will be presented to the next Prentiss County grand jury.

be offered to districts throughout the area and the entire region. He said they are currently in discussions with officials in several other districts about offering the courses to their students. The other districts will pay for the online courses, but at a rate much lower than the amount they are receiving from the state per pupil and much lower than the cost for them to add additional teachers to offer the courses themselves. “It’s a game-changer, both academically and financially,” said English. He said the courses being offered by Baldwyn create new opportunities for students aiming for careers in those areas to obtain the kind of training and credentials looked for by industry and for those students who excel in the programs to be prepared to land high-paying jobs in

Ann Fraser of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Chicken salad and strawberry congealed salad. Assorted cakes, tea and coffee will be served with each meal. The cost for the lunch is $6 per person with proceeds going to support local and state mission projects. “The format of the luncheons will be same as in previous years,” said Chairperson Mary Louise Bell. “We are still in settlement from when our church was fire damaged and are blessed to be able to use The Weaver Center again this time. The staff at Refreshments, Inc. has been very gracious in allowing us to use their facility for the second year.” “We consider them to be an extension of our church family and are grateful to them for enabling us to continue our service to the congregation as well as members of the community.” Continuing the tradition started by Geneva Whitfield in 1980, the ladies of the church strive to ensure that every denomination is represented. “We try our best to include all,” said committee member Vonceil Smith. “All the popular dishes will be returning this time with the exception of the soup which has been deleted due to the difficulty of transporting it and keeping it warm. All the food has been generously donated with the exception of our hot ham which is always a crowd pleaser.” “We are known for our hot ham,” she added. Though the church fire threatened to derail the event, the ladies say they weren’t willing to let it spoil the fun and fellowship. “Our congregation has suffered so much from not having our building. The Weaver Center has been a wonderful substitute for our church home,” said committee member Barbara Trapp. “We are determined not to let it disrupt our endeavors.” “With God’s help, we will surmount our problems,” she continued. “Things have fallen into place in the right time – in His time.” A combined effort, each meal will have its own chairman. “We’ll have seven or eight people helping with the main dishes and six or seven others providing the cakes,” said Bell. “Each luncheon will last a little under an hour to allow everyone to get back to work by 1 p.m.” Organizers say they hope to have around 100 guests which is usually their average attendance number. Reservations are not required. “We cordially invite everyone to attend and hope to have a capacity crowd,” said Trapp. “We look forward to this opportunity to fellowship.”

Dr. Todd English Booneville Superintendent those industries right out of high school. English said the courses at Baldwyn, which will be taught in a new career education building to be constructed using funds from the district’s recently passed bond issue, will complement and enhance the list of courses currently oﬀered to students through the Prentiss County Vocational-Technical Center, oﬀering additional opportunities to students but not replacing or duplicating current vocational programs. This is the second year the districts have applied for the District of Innovation program. Last year the application was rejected due to a conflict

with regulations about the amount of time students must physically be in a class for it to count for credit. English said that issue was resolved with the new application and they’re thrilled to begin working together to oﬀer students in both districts and throughout the region new opportunities for advanced learning. The Districts of Innovation program was approved by the state legislature in 2015 and allows school districts to obtain exemptions from certain state regulations to allow them to create innovative educational programs that can serve as models for other districts throughout the state in the future.

Regarding shot records, parents or guardians can contact their child’s physician or the local health department for the form they need for registration. If there is a shot that the child cannot have by enrollment time, then there is a temporary form the physician or health department can provide that

is acceptable at the time of registration. The parent will then submit the final form later in the school year, once the child has the required immunization. Johnson said registration packets should be available at each school’s office, but there will also be registration packets at the school district office. Parents who need flexibility, due to work schedules or other reasons, can call the school’s office regarding their child’s school enrollment. “The parents can call the schools and those schools will be happy to work with them on getting the registration done.

Our View

Jacinto Courthouse comes alive with film The historic Jacinto Courthouse made front page headlines the past year for negative reasons. The Jacinto Foundation came under scrutiny by the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors, who eventually cut funding to the group responsible for the upkeep of the grounds and structure. The courthouse recently made news again in a positive way. We couldn’t be more happy for the historic courthouse, the foundation, the Jacinto community and all of Alcorn County. Running Wild Films will come to the Jacinto Courthouse in March to film a courtroom scene for its next movie project, “Blood Country,” a tale of murder set in a small south Mississippi town of Oakdale in Lawrence County in 1884. It is based on true events told in Robert E. Jones’ short story “The Outlaw, the Sheriﬀ and the Governor,” part of a collection called “Mississippi Gumbo.” Running Wild Films cofounder Travis Mills visited Jacinto on Sunday and said the courthouse is “perfect” for the film. The Jacinto Foundation welcomes the opportunity to bring some attention to the historic courthouse. Filming begins in Mississippi on March 13 and film crews will arrive in Jacinto on Monday, March 20. The movie centers around feuding brothers, a rather grisly murder and the trial which follows. Local people will have the chance to be involved as unpaid extras for the courtroom scene. A crowd of more than 50 people is needed to fill the courtroom and mill around outside the courthouse. But the extras need to look the part. According to the foundation’s Beth Whitehurst, watch “Little House on the Prairie” to get an idea of how people dressed in 1884. Nothing should be made of denim, including overalls. The scene will need people of all ages, sexes, Caucasian and African-American. Running Wild films began in Phoenix in 2010 with the mission Arizona stories. But cofounder Mills has family in Brookhaven, Miss. and he gradually began to make connections in the Magnolia State. Running Wild’s “Don’t Come Around Here” just premiered at the Oxford Filn Festival and took the prize for best Mississippi feature. It was around the beginning of January this year when the foundation first heard from the independent filmmakers, who were looking for locations. It is believed “Blood Country” will be the first movie to be filmed in Alcorn County since “Tomorrow,” the well-regarded 1972 adaption of a William Faulkner story starring Robert Duvall. The Jacinto Courthouse makes an appearance in the movie. We look forward to seeing the finished product of the movie and the Jacinto Courthouse brought back to life. And maybe we will also see some familiar faces.

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to feel the power of praise. “As words without thoughts never to heaven go,” so the highest praises are never sung alone, but rendered with service and love. May I have the heart to sing thy praises far and near, and rejoice in him from whom all blessings flow. Amen.

A verse to share But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. — Galatians 5:22-23

The myth of the passive president President Donald Trump gives the impression of having done everything in his first month in the White House -- except think about Congress. A couple of months ago, there were congressional Republicans reluctantly on the Trump train who would have welcomed such neglect. They believed that Trump might be a figurehead president. He would tweet, give speeches and wear red hats, while they set the agenda. He would “sign our stuﬀ,” as some Republicans put it, but otherwise leave them alone. An article in Slate in November expressed this expectation under the headline, “Welcome to the Paul Ryan Presidency.” The view of Trump as little more than a presidential autopen has turned out to be wholly mistaken. First, it underestimated Trump’s ability to establish air, sea and land dominance in the nation’s political conversation to the exclusion of other Republican voices. Two, it failed to appreciate how necessary presidential leadership is to getting anything done on Capitol Hill. At this rate, congressional Republicans won’t send the president anything signifi-

cant to sign, let alone set the agenda. T r u m p has totally eclipsed congressional Rich Republicans Lowry by creating a sense of National Review headlong action through the sheer force of his frenetic personality. Watching cable news, you could be forgiven for occasionally forgetting that there is a coequal branch of government called Congress, except insofar as its members are forced to react to whatever Trump is saying or doing. Some of this motion is significant. Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch, who will get confirmed to the Supreme Court. Trump’s commitment to begin enforcing the immigration laws again is a signature departure from the status quo. But many of the Trumpinitiated battles of the first month -- over crowd sizes, illegal votes, fake news and the rest of it -- have fed the perpetual outrage machine with pleasingly empty calories. Normally, a new president spends his early days

proposing legislation and shepherding it through Congress, then -- assuming success -- regaling in signing ceremonies. This is not part of the job that Trump has yet embraced, or shown much awareness of. But it is not proving a boon to his party’s legislators. Congress is naturally fractious and insular, and left to its own devices will often spin its wheels or make shortsighted decisions. The foray out of the box by House Republicans this year was going to be the elimination of Congress’ own independent ethics oﬃce. The next step after that was going to be to repeal Obamacare without a replacement. Neither was a good idea, and each reflected greater concern for internal congressional dynamics than political reality. Trump, correctly, dissented from both moves. That Congress listened suggests the enormous sway Trump has. His hold on the GOP base is formidable. Couple that with his prodigious media megaphone, and Trump could break isolated senators or members of Congress resisting his congressional

agenda like a twig. If, that is, he has such an agenda. No one knows what his infrastructure plan is. Or what he wants on Obamacare replacement, which will badly divide Republicans. Or where he comes down on the contentious issue threatening the ultimate passage of tax reform, the border adjustment tax. These aren’t details, but core questions that must be resolved if Trump is going to have a successful first year legislatively. Trump could address all of this in his speech to the joint session of Congress next week. And the wheels are turning on Capitol Hill. But every day that passes means Republicans have lost a little momentum. If Trump turns out simply not to have any interest in legislation, it likely won’t augur a period of strong congressional governance, but of drift and perhaps outright failure. Capitol Hill is dependent on Trump, not just to sign bills, but to lead. Republicans don’t need him merely to be president; they need him to be a good president, which means that in his busy days he must find a little time for Congress.

What happened to conservative optimism? I had never heard of Milo Yiannopoulos until recently, perhaps because I don’t visit some of the websites where his musings are published. Milo, as he calls himself because of the diﬃculty some have pronouncing his last name, was disinvited from this week’s Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) annual gathering of the right in Washington. Apparently the organizers were not bothered by Milo’s association with the so-called “alt-right.” CPAC withdrew the invitation only after a video surfaced showing him apparently endorsing man-boy relationships that qualify under the definition of pedophilia. Yiannopoulos has resigned as an editor at Breitbart.com and apologized for his remarks. The editors of National Review, as well as other traditional conservative publications and individuals, criticized CPAC for inviting Yiannopoulos to speak. The conservatism of Russell Kirk, William F. Buckley Jr. and Ronald Reagan was about ideas, not emotion and exclusion. Reagan, whom the modern right

likes to claim as one of its own, was an optimist. Even when he criticized the left’s policies, Cal he almost alThomas ways presented a superior Columnist alternative. He wanted to attract as many people to his worldview as possible by winning the argument and converting opponents, whom he always regarded as fellow Americans and “friends,” even when he disagreed with them. Today, conservatism has become known in the eyes of many for what and who it is against, not what and who it is for. Yes, part of this is due to media stereotyping, but not all. Traditional conservatism has been a positive “we can do better,” an inspiring and uplifting philosophy that motivates rather than denigrates. In his 1993 book “The Politics of Prudence,” Russell Kirk set down principles he believed should define conservatism. Among them were the following: an enduring moral order; an adherence to custom, conven-

tion and continuity guided by the principle of prudence; the principle of imperfectability, meaning we don’t look to government to create perfect men and women, or a perfect society, thus rejecting utopianism; the belief that freedom and property are closely linked; conservatives uphold voluntary community and reject involuntary collectivism; the need for prudent restraints upon power and upon human passions; permanence and change must be recognized and reconciled in a vigorous society. That last one bears elaboration, and Kirk oﬀers it: “The conservative knows that any healthy society is influenced by two forces, which Samuel Taylor Coleridge called its Permanence and its Progression. The Permanence of a society is formed by those enduring interests and convictions that give us stability and continuity; without that Permanence, the fountains of the great deep are broken up, society slipping into anarchy. The Progression in a society is that spirit and that body of talents which urge us on to prudent reform and improvement; without

that Progression, a people stagnate.” One sees this in the debate over the Constitution between liberals, who believe it to be a “living” document, subject to constant change and updating, and conservatives, who believe it a rock of stability that serves as a guide even in the face of rapid technological and cultural change. Just as a GPS must have a starting point in order to arrive at an intended destination, so too must America have a source from which it can plot its direction and not get lost on the journey. In 1962, William F. Buckley Jr. denounced the John Birch Society as “far removed from common sense” and urged the Republican Party to purge the movement from its ranks. So too must today’s conservatives separate themselves from the “alt-right” white supremacists and antiSemites and reclaim traditional conservatism as the authentic brand. Conservatives can win elections and govern without beyond-the-fringe types like Milo Yiannopoulos. If they can’t, they don’t deserve to win.

White House: Priebus not wrong to talk to FBI BY JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The White House on Friday defended chief of staﬀ Reince Priebus against accusations he breached a government firewall when he asked FBI Director James Comey to publicly dispute media reports that Trump campaign advisers had been frequently in touch with Russian intelligence agents. President Donald Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, argued Priebus had little choice but to seek Comey’s assistance in rebutting what Spicer said were inaccurate reports about contacts during last year’s presidential campaign. The FBI did not issue the statement requested by Priebus and has given no sign one is forthcoming. “I don’t know what else we were supposed to do,” Spicer said. The Justice Department has policies in place to limit communications between the White House and the FBI about pending investigations. Trump

“Intelligence professionals are not there to serve as the president’s PR firm.” California Rep. Adam Schiff Democrat officials on Friday not only confirmed contacts between Priebus and the FBI, but engaged in an extraordinary public airing of those private conversations. Spicer said it was the FBI that first approached the White House about the veracity of a New York Times story asserting that Trump advisers had contacts with Russian intelligence officials during the presidential campaign. Spicer said Priebus then asked both FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe if they would condemn the story publicly, which they declined to do. “The chief of staff said, well, you’ve put us in a very difficult

situation,” Spicer said. “You’ve told us that a story that made some fairly significant accusations was not true. And now you want us to just sit out there.” The FBI would not comment on the matter or verify the White House account. The CIA also declined to comment. The White House also enlisted the help of Republicans on Capitol Hill to talk to reporters about the New York Times story. Jack Langer, a spokesman for Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the chairman of the House intelligence committee, said the White House asked Nunes to speak with one reporter. He said the chairman told the journalist the same thing that he has said publicly many times

before — that he had asked but not received any information from intelligence officials that would warrant a committee investigation of any American citizens’ contacts with Russian intelligence officials. Langer acknowledged that this could make it harder to convince people that the House investigation into the matter will be independent and free of political bias, but he said the White House did not tell Nunes what to tell the reporter, or give him “talking points.” The ranking Democrat on the committee, California Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said if the White House indeed contrived to have intelligence officials contradict unfavorable news reports, it threatens the independence of the intelligence community. “Intelligence professionals are not there to serve as the president’s PR firm,” Schiff said, adding, “For its part, the intelligence community must resist improper efforts like these by the administration to

politicize its role.” The Washington Post reported Friday that the chairman of the Senate intelligence committee also was enlisted by the White House. The newspaper quoted Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., saying he had conversations about Russia-related news reports with the White House and engaged with news organizations to dispute articles by The New York Times and CNN. The ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, Mark Warner of Virginia, said Friday night that he had called CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Burr to express his “grave concerns about what this means for the independence” of the congressional investigation already underway. Warner said he emphasized to the two that he would “not accept any process that is undermined by political interference.” He said if the Senate intelligence committee cannot conduct a proper probe, he will support whomever can do it.

Bar suspect called a ‘drunken mess’ OLATHE, Kan. — A Kansas man accused of shooting two Indian immigrants and a third man at a bar, in what some believe was a hate crime, was always a drinker but became a “drunken mess” after his father died about 18 months ago, a longtime neighbor said Saturday. Andy Berthelsen said his neighbor Adam Purinton, who is charged with murder and attempted murder in Wednesday night’s attack, was very close to his father, who died of pancreatic cancer. He said in the past year, Purinton bounced from one menial job to the next and was sometimes drunk by midmorning. But in the 15 years he’s lived across the street from Purinton in Olathe, Berthelsen said he’s never heard him make a racist remark or talk politics. He said he doesn’t believe the shooting stemmed from hatred, and that it likely resulted from Purinton’s physical and mental deterioration.

Dems elect Perez party chairman ATLANTA — Democrats elected former Labor Secretary Tom Perez as their new national chairman on Saturday over a liberal Minnesota congressman after a divisive campaign that reflected the depths of the party’s electoral failures as well as the energy from resistance to President Donald Trump.

Perez, the first Latino to hold the post, edged Rep. Keith Ellison on the second round of voting by Democratic National Committee members gathered in Atlanta. A nod to his margin of 35 votes out of 435 cast, to say nothing of the lingering friction between old-guard Democratic brokers and outspoken liberal upstarts, Perez tapped Ellison to serve as deputy chair. “We are all in this together,” Perez said, calling on Democrats to fight “the worst president in the history of the United States.” He added, “I am confident when we lead with our values and we lead with our actions, we succeed.”

Buffett sticks to business in letter OMAHA, Neb. — Investors who wanted billionaire Warren Buffett to address the current state of the world in his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders will likely be disappointed, but they can still take some comfort in his consistently rosy long-term outlook for the U.S. economy. Buffett re-emphasized points he’s made in the past, such as his advice to avoid high Wall Street fees by investing in low-cost index funds. And he again praised the country’s market system for its ability to allow Americans to continue building “mindboggling amounts” of wealth over time. Unlike last year’s letter, when the longtime Democrat and Hillary

Clinton supporter took the opportunity to say he thought the country was in much better shape than some presidential candidates made it sound, Buffett mostly steered clear of politics this year.

Pruitt delays mining rule, favors industry BILLINGS, Mont. — The Trump administration has delayed consideration of a proposal to require companies to prove they have the financial wherewithal to clean up polluted mining sites after a pushback from industry groups and Westernstate Republicans. Companies in the past have avoided cleanups of many mining sites by declaring bankruptcy. That prompted the Environmental Protection Agency under President Barack Obama to pursue changes that would prevent taxpayers from getting stuck with cleanup bills. But newly swornin EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt directed his staff on Friday to delay consideration of the Obama-era proposal for four months, in order to gather more public comment. Pruitt was a frequent critic of the agency during his previous position as Oklahoma attorney general, suing the EPA numerous times. Contaminated water from abandoned mine sites can flow into rivers and other waterways, harming aquatic life and threatening drinking water supplies.

Sewer system fixes to top $1 million VICKSBURG — Two companies have bid to begin repairs to Vicksburg’s 109-year-old sewer system, and it looks like costs will run over $1 million, said a city official. The Vicksburg Post reports that city public works director Garnet Van Norman told officials during a Tuesday meeting that Suncoast Infrastructure of Florence and Gulf Coast Underground of Mobile were the only two bidders. Suncoast bid $1.445 million and Gulf Coast bid $1.56 million. The money won’t cover the full cost of the repairs to the aging system found during an initial assessment already conducted by Suncoast, Van Norman said, but will cover about 4 percent of the problems. “What we did, we just tried to get a contract going,” he said. “It’s just to get started doing the repair work.”

Bill to build lake on river moves ahead JACKSON — A bill that would help build a lake on the Pearl River in Jackson is moving ahead. The Clarion-Ledger reports that the plan passed the Mississippi House Tuesday. The bill lets the Rankin-Hinds Pearl River Flood and Drainage Control District raise future taxes for the lake on property that directly benefits from being on the waterfront while not raising taxes on those with less bene-

fit — instead of levying a flat rate for all properties in the district. The lake plan, which traces back to the historic 1979 flood, is to widen the Pearl River south of the Ross Barnett Reservoir to below Jackson. Congress has earmarked $150 million to the project. District leaders estimate another $150 must be secured.

Grand jury: County jail needs repairs GULFPORT — A grand jury says a jail on the Mississippi Gulf Coast needs several repairs in its tower and booking area, including replacement of cracked windows. Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson tells The Sun Herald that inmates throw things at the panels of glass and Plexiglas. Warden Evan Hubbard says more than 60 windows need to be replaced In a report released this week, the grand jury says the jail has problems with electronic equipment installed years ago. Peterson says officials have been unable to get the company that installed the equipment to make repairs. The grand jury says the jail has adequate security and management of inmates.

Senators advance board oversight JACKSON — Mississippi senators are advancing a bill that requires the governor to approve occupational licensing board rules. House Bill 1425 , which

passed the Mississippi Senate’s Accountability, Efficiency and Transparency Committee on Friday, would require board directors to send rules to the governor. The governor would be able approve, modify or kill them. Democratic Sen. David Blount of Jackson objects to the bill for giving too much power to the governor, who doesn’t have expertise on the professions. The bill is responding to a 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling about the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners. The Federal Trade Commission filed an antitrust complaint because the board prevented nondentists from offering teeth-whitening services. The high court upheld a lower court ruling siding with the FTC.

House kills bond for airport facility JACKSON — The Mississippi House has rejected a measure that would have allowed the state to issue bonds to finance a capital investment project at the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers Airport. The Clarion-Ledger reported that the project, which would build a heavy aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul facility, costs over $100 million. The project was expected to start in 2019 and last five years. Rep. Jeff Smith, RColumbus, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the rejected bill’s author, said the project would have made the airport competitive and created 500 jobs.

NEW YORK — How much more can the “Trump Bump” lift the stock market? U.S. stocks have screamed to records since Election Day because investors are expecting Donald Trump’s White House to cut taxes for business, make regulations easier for them and goose more growth out of the economy. But investors around the world are questioning whether the rally is exhausting itself. The big jump for stocks has come at a time when some investors had already seen markets as overpriced. Plus, skeptics see cause for caution with a president who prides himself on unpredictability. That has some favoring bonds or stocks from other countries over the U.S. stock market. “When we had the election, there was initially shock,” said Darrell Riley, a vice president at T. Rowe Price who helps set the strategy for how $240 billion in targetdate retirement and other mutual funds are invested. “Investors were really shocked, and then we went into this period of euphoria, and now we’re in a state of confusion.” Risks have grown large enough that the committee steering T. Rowe Price’s target-date retirement funds and other balanced funds sees stocks as slightly less attractive investments than bonds. It’s the first time that’s been the case since 2000, when the dot-com bubble popped. The trend has been moving in that direction for years, because stock prices have risen faster than corporate earnings, which makes them look more expensive, said Riley. But it was only a few weeks ago that the committee made the decision to go “underweight” on stocks and favor bonds more instead. Some of that caution became apparent Friday,

Darrell Riley T. Rowe Price vice president with U.S. indexes falling modestly to end the Dow Jones industrial average’s 10-day winning streak. Besides the high price tags for stocks, another reason for the move was that the pace of change on business-friendly reforms in Washington will likely be slower than the market expects, Riley said. “The Trump team can work on only one thing at a time, and they’re spread relatively thin,” he said. “They’re finding that accomplishing what they want to accomplish is far more complex than they probably imagined.” There are also concerns that tax cuts will come in later than many expect. Strategists at Goldman put the mood of the market this way: “We are approaching peak optimism.” They forecast the S&P 500 will hit a high in the next month or so but end the year lower than where it is now as investors push back expectations for the timing of the tax cuts. In any case, how much influence does the occupant of the White House really have? Not much, according to Ben Inker, head of the asset allocation team at GMO that warned of bubbles in the stock market before the 2000 dot-com implosion and the 2008 financial crisis. After all, stocks, for most investors such as pension funds, are meant to be long-term investments, to be held longer than a news cycle or even a four-year White House term.

Financial strategies. One-on-one advice.

GMO’s Inker continues to prefer stocks from developing economies over U.S. stocks because they look less expensive. “People are assuming bad things will happen in emerging markets,” he said. The U.S. stock market, meanwhile, is “priced as if only good things are going to happen.” “Even if we have a global trade war, and it’s twice as bad for Korea as it is for the U.S., the reality is U.S. stocks are priced as if growth is going to be good, and the disappointment might well be greater in the U.S. even though the economic impact is worse in Korea,” Inker said. Many investors see the risk of a global trade war as a remote one, but they’re not eliminating the possibility following Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail. Restrictions on trade by the Trump administration could trigger other countries to retaliate and lead to lower profits for U.S. companies that depend on customers and suppliers around the world. About 44 percent of sales for the S&P 500 came from foreign countries in 2015. “All the talk surrounding tariﬀs and trade barriers and walls, whether they’re physical or financial, these are distinctly not helpful or supportive of real economic growth,” said Rich Weiss, senior portfolio manager at American Century Investments. Trump’s campaign for president and his first days in oﬃce have altered the dynamic with

regards to free trade. He has promised to rewrite already-existing free-trade deals and has ditched the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed pact between 12 countries that border the Pacific Ocean which represented around 40 percent of global economic output. “Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength,” Trump said in his inaugural address. History suggests not. Recently, Roberto Azevedo, director general of the World Trade Organization, the body that oversees trading rules, warned recently about the rising protectionist talk with reference to the 1930s, when governments raised tariﬀs and wiped out twothirds of global trade in three years. “You don’t want to see that now,” he said. “That would be a catastrophe of untold proportions.” For now, the prevailing assumption in markets is that Trump will eventually be able to push through lower corporate tax cuts, ease regulations on business and approve some increased infrastructure spending. In the meantime, the economy continues to strengthen and corporate profits are swinging higher, which should oﬀer support for stocks. That has investors feeling confident enough to plow more money into U.S. stocks. Perhaps the only point of consensus across the market is that investors are preparing for a bumpier ride going forward. “While we continue to think a Trump victory likely means higher U.S. growth in 2017 than we would have expected three or six months ago, we still think volatility will be a feature of the year,” said Jim Reid, a strategist at Deutsche Bank. “It just seems that there are too many uncertainties, unknowns and major policy changes attached to a Trump presidency for it to be a smooth year.”
