Officials seek missing mental patient BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

Local law enforcement agencies continue to search for a missing mental health patient who fled from a crisis center in Corinth. Alcorn County Sheriﬀ Ben

Caldwell told the Daily Corinthian the patient was being transferred about 8 a.m. Tuesday from the Region IV Crisis & Stabilization Center to a state hospital in Tupelo when he fled on foot. The patient was described as a

County Sheriﬀ’s Department and Corinth Police Department combed the State Street area behind Magnolia Regional Health Center on Wednesday morning. The patient was last seen on Bradley Road near the intersec-

After taking the long way around to achieve her dreams of higher education, Corinth resident Aneysa Matthews wants to help others through encouragement and empowerment. Her program is called “Now You Start” and it is free for participants. It is held at 6:30 p.m. every other Thursday night at the Corinth Public Library. The next meeting will be March 16. The Now You Start program is designed to help participants learn to be self-suﬃcient, advance in education and business ethics to obtain and grow in better employment opportunities and life skills. When asked what made her want to start the program, the program director’s answer was simple. Beginning the program to help others was an act of faith for her. “The Lord gave me this mentorship program,” said Matthews. She recalled her own background, which provided the foundation for who she has become. She said she always wanted to go to college and began with enrollment at Northeast Mississippi Community Please see START | 5A

Disaster aid is available for Crossroads area farmers dealing with the eﬀects of recent drought conditions. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced late last week that drought disaster aid would be available in 29 of Mississippi’s 82 counties including Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss and Tippah counties in North Mississippi. Local farmers have eight months to apply for low-interest loans to help cover part of their losses from the drought.

Several counties in the edge of West Tennessee are also elgible, including Hardin and McNairy. Small businesses, agricultural cooperatives and certain nonprofits in Alcorn and Tishomingo counties are also eligible for federal disaster loans because of the drought conditions. The U.S. Small Business Administration announced Monday the entities are eligible for economic injury disaster loans if they suﬀered Please see DROUGHT | 5A

UM helps prepare for sports administration For the Daily Corinthian

OXFORD — Professional athletes may be the ones most often recognized in the media, but the owners and managers are just as vital to their longevity in the sports world. A new degree program at the University of Mississippi is helping students prepare for careers in sports administration. The university’s Department of Health, Exercise Science and Recreation Management launched its new Bachelor of Arts in Sport and Recreation Administration in fall 2016. Two new faculty members were hired to teach, research and lead development of the program. “Our overarching goal was to provide a service-based sport and recreation education to increase the marketability of students after matriculation as young professionals as well as

prepare them for graduate education,” said Kim Beason, professor of park and recreation management who coordinates the new program. “The new B.A. in Sport and Recreation Administration finally cleared the IHL last summer and we began accepting majors this past August.” Some 70 students are already in the SRA program, with about 15 first-year students in the sports emphasis. Four sports-related courses were added to the curriculum to support the emphasis: “The Business of Sports,” “Marketing and Communication in Sport and Recreation,” “Sports Economics and Finance” and “Legal Aspects of Sport and Recreation.” UM students in the sports emphasis are singing the program’s praises. “The sports emphasis corresponds directly to what I hope to do with

my career,” said Sydney Malone, a senior from Tuscumbia, Alabama. “I want to work on the business side of the sports industry, particularly Major League Baseball, so taking these specific classes benefits me the most. “For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to work for the MLB, so you can imagine my excitement when I learned about the new program!” As the program and faculty grow, administrators plan to work toward accreditation by the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation. Oﬃcials expect to see the undergraduate program grow to house at least 200 students, plus master’s and doctoral degrees in sport and recreation administration. “Our goal is for our students to have a 100 percent placement rate in the field and enough stu-

dents and faculty to support forming a sport and recreation department,” Beason said. All students must complete a capstone 400hour internship within a sports, recreation, tourism or related organization/agency, plus earn a minor in an approved field, such as business or journalism. By completion of the program, students will have a core education that will prepare them to sit for the Certified Park and Recreation Professional certification test during their last semester. ““Whether they wish to work for a sport franchise, sport tourism authority, community recreation agency or college recreation department, their Ole Miss education will prepare their entry into leadership, direct service and/or front-line supervisory positions,” Beason said.

Velmer Burton, dean of UM’s School of Applied Sciences, said the move is sure to benefit both the school and the university. “This new program’s development is the result of several years of planning by our faculty in sports and recreation and working with the School of Business to create a high-quality curriculum for our students,” Burton said. “In addition to courses in sport and recreation, our students will benefit from a strong foundation of business courses. “As a member of the SEC, along with the University of Mississippi’s rich tradition in athletics, oﬀering this new program both meets the needs of our students, faculty and friends of the university and just makes good sense.” Oﬃcials in the Ole Miss Department of Intercollegiate Athletics agreed.

“The new sports and recreation management degree is of great interest to not only studentathletes but to the entire student body,” said Derek Cowherd, senior associate athletics director. “We see this program as a tremendous opportunity for student-athletes who want to make their craft their career. “And it is something that many prospective student-athletes are interested in when ultimately choosing their school. This program is a tremendous asset to the university.” Bryanna Castro, a senior recreation administration major from Orange County, California, agreed.

Lawyer: Flag sends ‘white supremacy’ message House moves to ban BY REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — In the latest legal wrangling over one of Mississippi’s most prominent symbols, a lawyer for a man who objects to the state’s flag said Tuesday the Confederate-themed banner sends a message of “white supremacy.” The comments by Michael Scott came during a federal appeals court hearing on a long-running feud over the Confederate battle emblem on the Mississippi flag. African-American attorney Carlos Moore, who is suing the state, contends the flag is “state-sanctioned hate speech.” His 2016 lawsuit says it sends a message that black residents are second-class citizens. “The message is one of white supremacy,” Scott, who represents Moore, argued to the three-judge

panel in a New Orleans courtroom. A federal judge in Jackson dismissed Moore’s complaint in September, saying Moore lacked legal standing to sue because he failed to show the emblem caused an identifiable legal injury. But Moore has argued in court filings that he’s often exposed to the state flag which causes him to suﬀer “physical and emotional injuries.” As a lawyer who regularly goes into courthouses where the flag is flying, he says he faces a hostile work environment. He also says his 5-yearold African-American daughter is harmed by being exposed to the flag at her public school. Mississippi’s state flag is the last in the nation to prominently feature the Confederate battle emblem — a red field topped by a blue X dotted with 13 white stars. In a 2001 referendum, voters chose to

keep it. Like other Confederate symbols, the Mississippi flag has faced increased scrutiny since the June 2015 killings of black worshippers in South Carolina. The white man convicted in 2016 in that case had posed with the Confederate battle flag in photos published online. Several cities and counties and seven of Mississippi’s eight public universities have stopped flying the state flag. The hearing before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals centered mostly on Moore’s legal standing to pursue the case. Scott insisted Moore has standing, but attorneys for the state argued he doesn’t. The district judge dismissed Moore’s case without holding a trial on the arguments he makes. Moore wants the appeals court to order such a trial.

sanctuary policies BY SARAH SMITH Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi House advanced a bill to ban immigration sanctuary policies. Senate Bill 2710 says cities, state agencies and public colleges can’t prevent employees from asking someone’s immigration status. These public agencies also can’t give legal status to people who entered the country without permission, such as by issuing an ID card. The bill passed the House Tuesday and will return to the Senate. “Here in Mississippi there have been efforts to create sanctuary cities, sanctuary policies and sanctuary campuses,” said House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton. The bill would override Mississippi’s only sanctuary policy: a 2010 Jackson ordinance that prevents police officers from asking about immigration status. An effort to make the University of Mississippi into a sanctuary

campus failed last year. Rep. Steve Holland, DPlantersville, wasn’t convinced. “How long did the committee lay up at night worrying about something that’s not a problem in Mississippi?” he wanted to know. Rep. Jarvis Dortch, DRaymond, pointed out that the bill has no mechanisms for enforcement. “What does it do other than say you want to be mean to immigrants?” he said. Later, Rep. Joey Hood, R-Ackerman, said that public oﬃcials who break the law could be subject to contempt of court. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who focused on what he saw as the harms of illegal immigration earlier in his career, said during a Monday interview on Fox News that he supports a crackdown by President Donald Trump and actions by state lawmakers. Bryant said he wants to comb state and local jails for people without legal status.

The Trump effect

Here are two scenarios. One: you are a retiree who in recent years has been concerned about the value of your stock portfolio. Suddenly, the value of your stocks and stock-based mutual funds Cal surges, the Dow rising 1,000 Thomas points to record highs within weeks. Columnist You examine the monthly report your broker sends and you are pleasantly surprised at how much your investments have earned since Donald Trump took office. Scenario two: You are reading and watching the news and all you see are stories about meetings between Trump campaign officials and the Russians, who have been accused of tampering with the election, though, according to The New York Times, law enforcement officials have said that none of the investigations “so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government.” The media are obsessed with the Trump campaign’s alleged Russian connections, because, as their “reporting” and punditry has shown, they are no fans of President Trump. If you are a retiree, or approaching retirement, which scenario most affects you? Do you care more about the Russians, or your increasing net worth? I thought so. While some polls can be manipulated to produce outcomes based on the bias of the polltakers, this one by CNBC seems to reflect what the stock market is telling us. According to the financial network’s All-America Economic Survey for the fourth quarter, “the percentage of Americans who believe the economy will get better in the next year jumped an unprecedented 17 points to 42 percent, compared with before the election.” Even more remarkable, the poll notes, “The surge was powered by Republicans and independents reversing their outlooks. Republicans swung from deeply pessimistic, with just 15 percent saying the economy would improve in the next year, to strongly optimistic, with 74 percent believing in an economic upswing.” Of greatest interest for Republicans is the poll’s finding that optimism among independents doubled, though Democrat optimism declined by more than half. Maybe that has more to do with their failure to elect Hillary Clinton than the realities of the stock market, because one can presume their portfolios are doing well, too. A Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll found that as of last Friday “52 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. 48 percent disapprove.” Those numbers are likely to improve if the economy continues its upward swing and some of Trump’s promises are fulfilled, producing advertised results. Success is not only the best revenge; it is the best policy. A recent Gallup poll put Trump’s approval rating at 43 percent with 50 percent disapproving of his job performance. In light of the incessantly negative media onslaught against Trump it is amazing he is doing as well as he is with the public. Outside the beltway and inside the few remaining Democratic strongholds I suspect there is less concern about Russia and meetings between then-Sen. Jeff Sessions before he became attorney general and the Russian ambassador than how people think they are doing. “It’s the economy stupid,” reminded James Carville, campaign strategist for Bill Clinton. Remember? The focus on Russia and “scandal” is the kind of petty politics that soured enough people in traditionally Democratic states to vote for Trump. They are tired of the games politicians play and want their government to work for them, not for the politicians and insiders. If the Trump administration finishes its first year in office with demonstrable results, including a continually improving economy, the left will have nothing remaining in its bag of tricks and that will make Democrats look even weaker and ineffective heading into the 2018 elections.

Prayer for today Eternal God, teach me the way of a complete and unbroken trust. In my disappointments, and in my devotions, may my faith and hope be as immortal as my soul. May I listen for thy voice and answer thy call. Amen.

A verse to share Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. —Galatians 5:24

The Battle of Middlebury At Middlebury College last week, Charles Murray needed a safe space -- literally. In a significant escalation of the campus speech wars, protesters hooted down the conservative scholar in a lecture hall and then roughed up a Middlebury faculty member escorting him to a car. The Middlebury administration commendably tried to do the right thing and stand by Murray’s right to be heard, but was overwhelmed by a yowling mob with all the manners and intellectual openness of a gang of British soccer hooligans. Sometime soon, we may yearn for the days when college students were merely childish and close-minded. If campus protests of speech begin to more routinely slide into violence, Middlebury will be remembered as a watershed. First, there was the target. Charles Murray is controversial -- mainly for his book “The Bell Curve,” about IQ -- but he is one of the most significant social scientists of our age. He is employed by the prestigious conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute, and his books are highly influential

and widely reviewed. His latest, which was to be the topic of his Middlebury talk, Rich is “Coming a Lowry Apart,” best-selling National account of Review the struggles of the white working class that illuminated some of the social forces behind the rise of Donald Trump. No one is bound to accept any of Murray’s ideas, but they are inarguably worth engaging. He exists in a different universe than Milo Yiannopoulos, the alt-right provocateur infamous for saying or doing anything to try to get infamous. That Middlebury protesters can’t tell the diﬀerence between the two shows that their endeavor to know or understand nothing outside their comfort zone has been a smashing success. Second, there was the venue. No one has ever mistaken Middlebury, a small Vermont liberal arts college founded by Congregationalists, for Berkeley. It doesn’t have a reputation as a hot-

bed and training ground for rabble-rousers, and yet has given us one of the most appalling episodes of antispeech thuggery in recent memory. Finally, there was the violence. The students who brought in Charles Murray framed the evening as “an invitation to argue,” and in that spirit asked professor Allison Stanger, a Democrat in good standing, to serve as Murray’s interlocutor. When chanting students commandeered the lecture hall, Stanger and Murray repaired to another room for a live-streamed discussion. Protesters found the room and pounded on the windows and pulled fire alarms. When Murray and Stanger exited at the end of the livestream and headed for their get-away car, protesters assailed them. They shoved and grabbed Stanger, who was shaken up and later went to the hospital, and pounded on the car and tried to obstruct it. Stanger wrote afterward that she “feared for my life.” And for what oﬀense? Talking to someone who thinks diﬀerently than the average Middlebury faculty member or student.

Political correctness has been a phenomenon on campuses since the 1980s, but now has become much more feral. The root of the phenomenon is the idea that unwelcome speech is tantamount to a physical threat against oﬀended listeners. If this is true, it follows that dissenting speech needs to be shunned (in safe spaces) and attacked (in protests). Shutting down a speaker and literally running him oﬀ campus is, from this warped perspective, an entirely justifiable defensive action. Of course, speech doesn’t threaten anyone. The appropriate response to an erroneous argument is counterargument. And the free exchange of ideas always allows for the possibility that someone will actually learn something. If campuses aren’t to sink further into their current miasma of illiberalism, administers will have to actively fight the tide of suppression. It’s not enough to say the right things about free speech; they have to punish thuggish student agitators. Otherwise, colleges may become increasingly unsafe spaces for anyone departing from a coercive orthodoxy.

It’s Trump’s party now Before the largest audience of his political career, save perhaps his inaugural, Donald Trump delivered the speech of his life. And though last Tuesday’s address may be called moderate, even inclusive, Trump’s total mastery of his party was on full display. Congressional Republicans who once professed “free-trade” as dogmatic truth rose again and again to cheer economic nationalism. “We’ve lost more than one-fourth of our manufacturing jobs since NAFTA was approved,” thundered Trump, “and we’ve lost 60,000 factories since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.” Yet a Republican party that embraced NAFTA and voted MFN for China every time it came up gave Trump standing ovations. “(W)e have inherited a series of tragic foreign policy disasters,” said Trump, “America has spent approximately six trillion dollars in the Middle East -- all the while our infrastructure at home is crumbling.” And from Congressional Republicans who backed every Bush-Obama war, not a peep of protest, as their foreign policy legacy was being consigned to the dumpster. One had thought the free-

trade beliefs of Republicans were more deeply rooted than this. “We have Patrick withdrawn Buchanan the United States from Columnist the job-killing TransPacific Partnership,” Trump exulted, having just tossed into the trash that mammoth trade deal beloved of Bush Republicans. GOP champions of the TPP, if there are any left, sat mute. Trump cited the first Republican president, Lincoln, as having got it right when he warned, “abandonment of the protective policy by the American Government (will) produce want and ruin among our people.” Celebrating protectionism, hailing “America First!” in a virtual State of the Union address -- it doesn’t get any better than this. To open-borders Republicans who backed amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants, Trump had this message, “We will soon begin the construction of a great wall along our southern border.” While the speech was unifying and aspirational, the

president set goals and laid down markers by which his presidency will be judged. And none will be easy of attainment. “Dying industries will come roaring back to life. ... Crumbling infrastructure will be replaced with new roads, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways ... Our terrible drug epidemic will slow down and, ultimately, stop. ... Our neglected inner cities will see a rebirth of hope, safety and opportunity.” As some of these domestic crises are rooted in the character, or lack of it, of people, they have proven, since Great Society days, to be beyond the capacity of government to solve. Ronald Reagan was not wrong when he said, “Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem.” And while the president’s speech astonished critics as much as it reassured friends, it leaves large questions unanswered. How does one leave Social Security and Medicare untouched, grow defense by more than $50 billion, slash taxes, launch a $1 trillion infrastructure program -- and not explode the deficit and national debt? Now that we are ensnared in wars all over the Middle

East, how do we extricate ourselves and come home without our enemies filling the vacuum? How does the GOP repeal and replace Obamacare without cutting the benefits upon which millions of Americans have come to rely? How do you eliminate an $800 billion merchandise trade deficit without tariﬀs that raise the price of cheap imports from abroad? The Republican establishment today bends the knee to Caesar. But how long before K Street lobbyists for transnational cartels persuade the GOP elite, with campaign contributions, to slow-walk the president’s America First agenda? Tuesday’s speech established Trump as the man in charge. But how loyal to him and his program will be the “deep state,” which dominates this city that gave Trump only 4 percent of its votes and, paranoically, believes him to be an agent of Vladimir Putin? The Trump-Beltway wars have only just begun. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

Homegrown physician living her dream BY MRHC For the Daily Corinthian

In January of 2017, we introduced a group of physicians called Hospitalists who care for patients at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth. That article discussed the many benefits of being under the care of Hospitalists, explained their role, and mentioned how these physicians are living, working, and socializing right here in the local community. Now, we turn the spotlight on Dr. Hayes Baker, a homegrown physician who is living her dream as a doctor in her hometown. Q: You’re a home-

Dr. Hayes Baker town girl and grew up in Corinth. Why did you decide to come back here to practice? A: Growing up in

Corinth, I knew the healthcare needs of our town. I first started working at Magnolia when I was 16 years old, and it was then that I knew my calling in life was to be a physician. However, I realized early in medical school that I not only wanted to take care of patients, but I also wanted to teach the next generation of physicians. When Magnolia started the Internal Medicine Residency Program early in my medical training, I saw that I would have the opportunity to do both in my hometown: care for patients and teach residents and medical students. I have my dream

job at Magnolia, and am fortunate enough to have it at the beginning of my career Q: How does your role at MRHC differ from that of a traditional hospitalist? A: Our hospitalist program, like many in the country, have a “7 on, 7 off” schedule, meaning that the doctors work 7 days or nights and then have the next week off. I am more of a hybrid hospitalist. I work at Magnolia Regional Community Care Clinic on Mondays and Fridays supervising our internal medicine residents, and work Tuesday through Thursday

supervising residents in the hospital. I also work a week of nights in the hospital every so often. I like the mix of caring for patients in the clinic and the hospital setting because I get to diagnose and treat the same diseases at different stages. It keeps me on my toes. Q: As an internal medicine hospitalist, how do you coordinate care with the other specialists in the hospital? A: As hospitalists, we care for patients with a wide variety of medical conditions. However, when we need extra help from specialist physi-

cians, we are kind of the quarterback of the team. For example, if someone comes in with a diﬃcult pulmonary problem, we call in the lung specialists. If a patient has an infection that’s diﬃcult to treat, we ask the infectious disease specialist to help us choose a treatment. If a patient needs surgery, we involve a surgeon. Although we’re the patient’s “primary doctor,” the interaction with specialists outside of our field is critical to patient care. The other physicians in the hospital become part of our team and allow us to provide the best care for our community.

Exxon plans to spend Freight train hits charter bus, killing 3 $20B on gulf projects BY JEFF AMY AND KEVIN MCGILL Associated Press

BY DAVID KOENIG Associated Press

HOUSTON — President Donald Trump and Exxon Mobil Corp. exchanged praise for each other on Monday as the company announced plans to create thousands of jobs by spending $20 billion over 10 years on plants along the Gulf Coast. Exxon’s plan started long before Trump entered the White House, however. It includes investments that began in 2013. Exxon said Monday the work would create 12,000 permanent jobs — the energy giant currently has about 71,000 employees — and 35,000 construction jobs. Exxon announced its plan in a news release in which CEO Darren Woods was quoted as saying that such big investments “require a progrowth approach and a stable regulatory environment and we appreciate the President’s commitment to both.” A few minutes later, the White House issued its

own release about Trump congratulating Exxon. One paragraph in the White House release is nearly identical to a passage in Exxon’s. The president followed up on Twitter, saying that “Buy American & hire American are the principals at the core of my agenda,” although he apparently meant that those are among his principles. In his third tweet on Exxon, Trump wrote, “45,000 construction & manufacturing jobs in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. $20 billion investment. We are already winning again, America!” In December, Trump plucked Exxon’s thenCEO, Rex Tillerson, to be his secretary of state. Tillerson and Trump met Monday shortly before the Exxon and White House press releases. Woods, the new chairman and CEO, said Monday that Exxon would expand at several current plants and build a new one to create petroleum products for export.

financial losses tied to the drought that began in November. The SBA says it can’t provide disaster loans to farmers or ranchers, with the exception of aquaculture businesses. Nurseries, however, are eligible to apply for the federal aid. Loans from the SBA can be up to $2 million, carrying interest rates of 2.5 percent for private nonprofits and just above

3 percent for small businesses. Repayment can stretch over as many as 30 years.

BILOXI — A freight train smashed into a charter bus in Biloxi, Mississippi, on Tuesday, pushing the bus 300 feet down the tracks and leaving at least three people dead, authorities said. Rescuers spent more than an hour removing passengers, cutting through the bus’s heavily damaged frame to extract the last two. The bus could be seen straddling the tracks, with a CSX Transportation locomotive pushed up against its left side. The bus was apparently stopped on the tracks

Earlier, Boney had said that four people died. The names of the dead have not been released. Witnesses told the Sun Herald of Biloxi that the bus was stuck on the tracks for about five minutes before he saw the train hit it. Mark Robinson said some people were getting oﬀ the

bus as the driver tried to move it, and at least one person was shoved under the bus when the train hit. A nearby car was used as a stepladder after the crash to get people oﬀ the bus, and emergency workers pulled passengers through windows. Robinson said he thinks the train track, which is on an embankment, poses safety issues. “It’s too steep there,” he said. Medical workers from a hospital blocks away set up a triage area at the scene, and helicopters carried some of the passengers to other hospitals.

College at the age of 18. However, she unexpectedly became a teenage mother and had to drop out of college. Five months later, she was married. Before she knew it, she had four children, but her dream of going to college never died. “I want to encourage others and tell them that no matter where you are ... if you had children early, or if your career died out, you can start anew. No matter where life has taken you, never quit. Never give up ... Now You Start,” she said. Matthews said she finally had the opportunity to go back to college at the age of 42. She began at NEMCC, where she earned her Associate Degree in Business and Marketing. After that time, she went on to Grace Bible College, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Business. She has just been admitted to begin working toward her master’s degree at Regent University School of Law. She admits the road has not been easy. “I was 42 and going back to college with these young people and it was intimidating, but you can’t give up,” she said. Williams, who works at Medical Plaza on Harper Road as a Pharmacy Assistant, has been there

when the 52-car train, pulled by three locomotives, slammed into it, said Biloxi Police Chief John Miller. “We’re not sure why,” Miller said. “We don’t know if there were mechanical issues or what was taking place.” Miller said passenger on the Echo Transportation bus had come from Austin, Texas, carrying passengers to one of Biloxi’s eight casinos.

just over four years and she said her work there has only reinforced what she wants to do with her program. “My biggest gratitude in working here has been servicing people. I have had young girls, single parents, who I have helped with resumes. I let them know when I hear about job openings ... this has grown more and more as a passion toward helping others and I have even helped young people who have come out of incarceration. It’s a totally new world — teaching them how to dress, how to give a firm handshake, how to sit up straight in the chair, how to speak correctly when doing interviews ... I am a born encourager,” she said. Williams herself continues to work toward her own goals. She ran for judge in 2015 and won the primary but not the general election, but she said some mentorship opportunities still came from that. She said a line from an old Gospel song her grandmother, Birdie Patton, used to sing has become like an anthem for her. The line she cited was, “If I could help someone along the way, then my living will not be in vain ...” She added, “It’s all to help someone else. The vision [of the program] is to empower and to

teach how to move forward, to get up and ‘Now You Start’ or start it again and don’t quit.” She wanted to make sure potential participants understand that the program is not an enabling program, but rather one of empowering. “We don’t carry you here,” said Williams, “I’m going to assist you to start now. This helps you become self-sufficient. You’re going to get jobs and come off the system. We have great people in Alcorn County, but some of them need a little help and encouragement.” In an effort to help fund the program, there will be a fundraiser for the Now You Start program scheduled for Saturday, April 22 from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Mississippi State University Extension Center, 2200 Levee Road, in Corinth, behind the Crossroads Arena. It is the Grant Writing Workshop and tegistration is $75 per person and covers training materials and refreshments.

WASHINGTON — A powerful conservative backlash threatened to sink the new Republican health care bill Tuesday less than 24 hours after its launch, even as President Donald Trump and congressional leaders began trying to sell the legislation as the long-promised GOP cure for “Obamacare.” “We’re going to do something that’s great and I’m proud to support the replacement plan released by the House of Representatives,” Trump declared at the White House as he met Tuesday with the House GOP vote-counting team. “We’re going to take action. There’s going to be no slowing down. There’s going to be no waiting and no more excuses by anybody.” Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence told GOP lawmakers at the Capitol this was their chance to scuttle President Barack Obama’s 2010 law, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

He was preceded in death by his parents, Edna and James Edward Moss and his brother, Scott Moss.

President Donald Trump forecast congressional passage by early April. But major obstacles loomed as key Republican lawmakers announced their opposition, and one conservative group after another torched the plan. The Club for Growth, Heritage Action for America, Americans for Prosperity and Tea Party Patriots variously derided the new bill as Obamacare Lite, Obamacare 2.0 and even RyanCare, in a dig at House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. The new GOP plan would repeal the current law’s unpopular fines on people who don’t carry health insurance. It also would replace income-based subsidies, which the law provides to help millions

of Americans pay premiums, with age-based tax credits that may be skimpier for people with low incomes. Those payments would phase out for higher-earning people. The legislation also would limit future federal funding for Medicaid, which covers low-income people, about 1 in 5 Americans. And it would loosen rules that Obama’s law imposed for health plans directly purchased by individuals. Republican supporters and opponents are all intent on reducing the role of government in health care, but some House conservatives say the new bill doesn’t go nearly far enough.

Files on CIA ‘hacking tools’ revealed BY JACK GILLUM AND RAPHAEL SATTER Associated Press

IUKA — A Celebration of Life service will be held by the family at a later date for James Rickie “Doc” Moss, 61. Cutshall Funeral Home of Iuka will have the arrangements. Mr. Moss died on Monday, March 6, 2017, at his home after a brief battle with cancer. He was born on Oct. 31, 1955, and grew up in Holcut. He worked various construction and fiberglass jobs throughout his life. Survivors are one sister, Tracie Austin (Harvie) of

“We’re going to do something that’s great and I’m proud to support the replacement plan released by the House of Representatives.”

WASHINGTON — WikiLeaks published thousands of documents Tuesday described as secret files about CIA hacking tools the government employs to break into users’ computers, mobile phones and even smart TVs from companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. The documents describe clandestine methods for bypassing or defeating encryption, antivirus tools and other protective security features intended to keep the private information of

citizens and corporations safe from prying eyes. U.S. government employees, including President Donald Trump, use many of the same products and internet services purportedly compromised by the tools. The documents describe CIA eﬀorts — cooperating with friendly foreign governments and the U.S. National Security Agency — to subvert the world’s most popular technology platforms, including Apple’s iPhones and iPads, Google’s Android phones and the Microsoft Windows operating system for desktop com-

puters and laptops. The documents also include discussions about compromising some internet-connected televisions to turn them into listening posts. One document discusses hacking vehicle systems, indicating the CIA’s interest in hacking modern cars with sophisticated onboard computers. WikiLeaks has a long track record of releasing top secret government documents, and experts who sifted through the material said it appeared legitimate. The chairman of the House intelligence com-

mittee, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said he was very concerned about the release and had asked the intelligence community for more information about it. Former CIA Director Mike Hayden told MSNBC he had undertaken only a cursory review of the documents, but that if they were what they were purported to be, it would amount to a “very extensive file of the tactics, techniques, procedures, targets and other political rules” under which the CIA hacks targets. “If it is that, it would be very, very damaging,” he said.

Democrats push No. 2 Justice pick for special Russia probe BY ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Democrats pushed Tuesday for a special prosecutor to examine the Trump administration’s potential ties to Russia, using a confirmation hearing to urge the No. 2 pick at the Justice Department to consider handing over any such investigation to an independent overseer. “We need steel spines, not weak knees when it comes to political independence in the Department of Justice,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat. The remarks came during a hearing for Rod Rosenstein, a longtime federal prosecutor tapped

for deputy attorney general, which instead became a referendum on Russian meddling in the presidential election. As deputy, Rosenstein would assume oversight of a federal investigation into Russian influence following the recusal last week of Attorney General Jeﬀ Sessions, who said he would step aside from any probes into the Trump campaign after revelations of unreported contacts with the Russian ambassador last year. Though repeatedly pressed by Democrats, Rosenstein would not commit to appointing a special prosecutor and said he was unaware of a basis to do so at the moment. Rosenstein responded

in lawyerly fashion to hours of questioning, saying he had no direct knowledge of any Russia-related investigation and had not read the intelligence community’s formal assessment that Russia interfered during the campaign on behalf of President Donald Trump. That review, from the country’s intelligence agencies, concluded in January that Russian intelligence agencies were behind the hack of Democratic National Committee networks and had worked to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances of election. He promised to handle that investigation like any other if evidence of criminal wrongdoing emerged.

Battle looms over Cosby’s testimony PHILADELPHIA — The next battle in the criminal case against Bill Cosby will be whether prosecutors can use his lurid deposition testimony about giving pills and alcohol to a string of women before sex — material that may be disallowed at his trial since the judge ruled most of the women themselves can’t testify. Judge Steven O’Neill must resolve the seeming conflict between two key pretrial rulings he made in recent months: One lets the deposition in, while the other excludes most of the accusers Cosby discusses. The two sides will slug it out in briefs being filed in the coming weeks. The case is set for trial June 5 in suburban Philadelphia. Cosby, 79, is accused of drugging and molesting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his home in 2004. The TV star whose reputation as America’s Dad has been destroyed by a barrage of sexual assault allegations could get 10 years in prison if convicted. He has said the sexual contact was consensual. The comedian gave the damaging testimony more than a decade ago as part of a lawsuit filed against him by Constand, who later settled for an undisclosed sum.

Rhinoceros killed for horn at park PARIS — A zoo director says a 5-year-old rhinoceros at the wildlife park he runs near Paris has been shot three times in the head by assailants who stole the animal’s horn. Thierry Duguet told The Associated Press that poachers broke into the Thoiry Zoo overnight and used a chain saw to remove the horn from the rhino named Vince. Zookeepers discovered his carcass Tuesday in the rhinoceros’ enclosure. Duguet says police are investigating and the suspects still are at large. The Thoiry Zoo is

famous for its safari park that can only be explored from inside a vehicle. According to Le Parisien newspaper, a rhinoceros horn can be sold for up to 40,000 euros on the black market because of a strong demand linked to the belief that the horns have aphrodisiac powers.

Bacon, soda, few nuts tied to deaths CHICAGO — Gorging on bacon, skimping on nuts? These are among food habits that new research links with deaths from heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Overeating or not eating enough of the 10 foods and nutrients contributes to nearly half of U.S. deaths from these causes, the study suggests. “Good” foods that were under-eaten include: nuts and seeds, seafood rich in omega-3 fats including salmon and sardines; fruits and vegetables; and whole grains. “Bad” foods or nutrients that were overeaten include salt and salty foods; processed meats including bacon, bologna and hot dogs; red meat including steaks and hamburgers; and sugary drinks. The research is based on U.S. government data showing there were about 700,000 deaths in 2012 from heart disease, strokes and diabetes and on an analysis of national health surveys that asked participants about their eating habits. Most didn’t eat the recommended amounts of the foods studied.

Mom who let son, 10, drive due in court MONROE, Conn. — A Connecticut woman who is accused of letting her 10-year-old son drive her car on public roads and streaming it on Facebook Live is due in court at the end of the week. Monroe resident Lisa Nussbaum was charged Friday with risk of injury or impairing morals of a minor. She has been released on a promise to appear in Superior Court in Bridgeport on Friday. Police say Nussbaum was arrested after

several residents complained to officers of a live-streaming video on Facebook showing a child driving a car. Police say officers determined Nussbaum was recording her son drive the car on public roads throughout the town. Police say the video was taken from the passenger seat of Nussbaum’s vehicle.

Police find 2 calves crammed inside car BEAUMONT, Calif. — It was one of the more unusual calls the California Highway Patrol has received: Someone reported seeing a cow trying to climb out of a small car parked alongside an interstate. Officers responding Saturday along a mountain pass in Southern California’s Riverside County discovered a calf trying to escape from a Honda Civic’s open trunk. Another calf was crammed into the floor of the backseat. Both calves’ hooves were tied. Investigators say the driver was nowhere to be found. The car is registered to an address in Tulare County, more than 250 miles away.

Transgender ruling leaves kids in limbo RICHMOND, Va. — The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to back out of a lawsuit over transgender students’ bathroom access is a disappointment that will keep transgender children in limbo, said 17-year-old plaintiff Gavin Grimm, who’s become a national face of the issue. But Grimm, who sued his eastern Virginia school district to be able to use the boys’ bathroom, said Monday that he’s ready to keep up his fight. “I am still as passionate and as happy to be doing this as ever,” he said. “I think everyone is just as empowered and ready for it as we’ve always been. And if it took 10 years, I’d stick with it.” Grimm spoke to reporters hours after the justices issued a one-sentence order handing his case back to a Richmond appeals court without reaching a decision.

3 deputies cleared in 2 shootings PASCAGOULA — Three Jackson County deputies have been cleared of wrongdoing in two separate 2016 shootings. The Mississippi Press reports that Sheriff Mike Ezell says the deputies involved are Jonathan Blakeney, Sgt. Mike Nutefall and Nathan Fisher. Ezell says a grand jury found no criminal conduct by Blakeney and Nutefall, who shot 23-year-old Christian Bowman during a fight at a St. Martin hotel in May 2016. The deputies were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. A grand jury also cleared Nutefall and Fisher in the shooting of an Alabama woman in October 2016 during a high-speed chase along Interstate 10. Passenger Catrick Howell was shot while he was riding in a stolen truck that deputies were pursuing. Ezell says all three deputies have returned to duty.

Firm fined $240,000 for no-call violations JACKSON — Mississippi regulators have ordered a Florida company to pay a $240,000 fine for violating the state’s ban on unwanted telemarketing. Commissioners voted 3-0 Tuesday to impose the penalty against Callvation, a now-dissolved company that was based in Hollywood, Florida. The Public Service Commission fines companies that violate the state’s prohibition on calling people who have registered phone numbers to get telemarketers to stop calling. Commissioners say Callvation violated Mississippi’s prohibition against robocalls — using an automated dialing system to make recorded phone calls. The order alleges Callvation failed to register as a telemarketer, failed to buy Mississippi’s nocall list and made unauthorized calls to nine Mississippi phone numbers in 2015 and 2016. The commission’s penalty comes after Callvation didn’t respond to complaints. It’s a civil fine, not a criminal action.

County seeks new skate park ideas GULFPORT — After rejecting four proposals, Harrison County officials are looking for new ideas for the skate park that has been sitting empty in Gulfport. The Sun Herald reports the county turned down the proposals from four entrepreneurs interested in using the property. At least three of those are likely to be resubmitted. Supervisor Connie Rockco says the supervisors wanted to make sure the people making proposals know the building was being leased “as is” with no modifications or improvements offered by the county. Of the proposals rejected, one sought to open a hockey rink. Another included bringing indoor soccer, “footgolf” and other sports. A third looked to put a roller rink in the building, and the last one proposed a film school. The deadline for submitting proposals is April 5.

Bryant appoints Hall corrections chief JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Monday appointed an attorney with wide experience in state government to be the new state corrections commissioner. Pelicia Hall has been interim commissioner since Jan. 30, when Marshall Fisher left the top job in the prison system after Bryant chose him to lead the Department of Public Safety. Hall had been Fisher’s chief of staff in the Department of Corrections.

Bryant announced her appointment as corrections commissioner Monday. She must be confirmed by the state Senate. “Pelicia’s previous experience within the Department of Corrections has made it clear that she is the perfect choice to lead the agency,” Bryant said in a statement. “I know she will continue her outstanding service to the people of Mississippi, and I am delighted she has agreed to accept this appointment.” The Department of Corrections has more than 2,200 employees and a budget of about $347 million. Hall will be responsible for overseeing three state prisons, three private prisons, 15 regional facilities, 10 community work centers, three technical violation centers and four restitution centers. Hall has 15 years’ legal experience in government and in private practice. She has served as special assistant U.S. attorney.

Education chairman has bypass surgery JACKSON — Leaders of the Mississippi House say the Education Committee chairman was scheduled to have heart bypass surgery. Republican Rep. John Moore of Brandon underwent the procedure Tuesday at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The 62-year-old has been in the House since 1996. Republican Rep. Mark Formby made an announcement to the House on Monday, saying he has permission to publicly share the news about Moore’s surgery.

Hiring survey Payroll processor ADP releases today its latest survey of hiring by private U.S. companies. The January survey showed that companies ramped up hiring, adding the most new workers since June. The hiring was widespread, with the construction, manufacturing, health care and shipping industries all adding jobs at a solid pace. Economists predict that ADP’s job survey for February will show the pace of hiring slowed last month.

Eye on the economy

Long-term mortgage rates fell last week, breaking a holding pattern that prevailed for more than a month. The rate on 30-year, fixed-rate loans declined to 4.10 percent from 4.16 percent the previous week. Mortgage rates fell at the start of the year after rising for nine straight weeks, but have moved little in recent weeks. Did the decline in rates spur more buyers to apply for a mortgage last week? Find out today, when the Mortgage Bankers Association releases its latest weekly survey of home loan applications.

Economists project that the rate of growth in U.S. worker productivity slowed in the last three months of 2016. The Labor Department is expected to report today that worker productivity rose by an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter. That would represent a slower pace than the third quarter, when productivity surged 3.5 percent. Productivity has slowed significantly in recent years for reasons that are unclear. It represents a worrisome trend given that growth in productivity is a key factor needed to boost living standards.
