Supervisor has week to hire attorney BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Circuit Judge Jim Pounds on Friday gave Second District Supervisor Dal Nelms one more week to find an attorney. In Alcorn County Circuit Court Friday morning for his delayed arraignment on charges stemming from an alleged embezzlement scheme, Nelms told the judge that

he has had trouble securing an attorney. Several attorneys simply didn’t want to take the case or know someone who is involved, he said. Nelms said he is possibly going to hire Oxford attorney James Justice but needs some more time to get funds to him. Pounds is giving Nelms until next Friday and said the supervisor will be held in contempt if he is not

ready to proceed at that time. Assistant District Attorney Richard Bowen said he had heard from Justice, who had another court commitment Friday morning and could not attend. Bowen did not object to the one-week delay. On Jan. 6, the court rejected Nelms’ application for indigence for the purpose of having a courtappointed attorney after he said he

could not afford to hire an attorney. On Friday, Bowen reiterated his objection to Nelms’ indigence, mentioning some of Nelms’ assets, including two houses, albeit with liens against them, and a vehicle. He is also employed. Nelms is charged with 156 criminal counts, including embezzlement Please see NELMS | 2

Robbery suspects enter guilty pleas BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two men accused of the armed robbery of a Dollar General store entered guilty pleas Friday morning in Alcorn County Circuit Court. Judge Jim Pounds handed down day-for-day sentences for George Atkins Jr., 32, and Paul Allen Downer, 25, who were both listed as residents of Selmer, Tenn., at the time of their arrest in December 2013. Pounds sentenced the two to 25 years in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections with 17 years suspended, leaving eight years to serve, minus time already served, followed by five years

of post-release supervision. The defendants must pay restitution totaling $3,253 and a $1,000 fine. They could have received as much as life sentences, the judge said. Police described the robbery of the Shiloh Road store as a setup involving an employee in which the robber was directed what time to come into the store. It happened about 10 o’clock on a Saturday night, according to the police report, while a clerk had the safe open. The man wore a black ski mask and brandished a handgun. Please see SUSPECTS | 3

No one with the Crossroads Arena took part in any of the individual events of the Mississippi Gymnastics State Championships on Friday. That didn’t stop event organizers from handing out plenty of 10s for the multi-purpose building. “They have been easy to work with,” said Nancy Lay, Mississippi State Administrative Committee Chair. “The building is nice and big which is something we like.” The state championships got under way at 8 a.m. Friday. The competition to crown the best in the state continues through Sunday. After local motel rooms got full, some local citizens agrees to house judges for the compe-

FBI asks for patience in black man’s hanging BY JOHNNY CLARK AND JEFF AMY Associated Press

PORT GIBSON — An FBI agent appealed for patience Friday after a black man was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi, saying 30 federal, state and local agents were working intensively to determine whether he was killed or committed suicide. “Everybody wants answers and wants them quickly. We understand that,” FBI Special

Agent Don Alway told a crowd outside the Claiborne County Courthouse. “We are going to hold off on coming to any conclusions until the facts take us to a definitive answer.” The county coroner confirmed that the man found hanging from a white sheet Thursday was Otis Byrd, an ex-convict reported missing by his family more than two weeks ago. Byrd lived just 200 yards from the spot where his body

was found, in a wooded area off a dirt road that ran behind his house. Alway said investigators are interviewing Byrd’s family and friends and searching his rental home and a storage unit for clues, and will not reveal any evidence along the way. “We are trying to paint a picture of Byrd’s life. We are trying to find out what was going on with him personally and professionally,” he said. Claiborne County Sheriff

Marvin Lucas Sr. told The Associated Press earlier Friday that Byrd did not appear to have stepped off of anything in the area where he was found hanging from a tree limb about 12 feet high. His feet were dangling about two feet off the ground, and his hands were not bound, Lucas said. “Life matters,” Lucas told the crowd. “I commit to you, as the sheriff of Claiborne County, that I will not allow the shadows of the past to cast a shadow

on the future.” The results of an autopsy by the Mississippi Crime Lab could take days; investigators expect to have preliminary information about the cause of death next week, Alway said. Byrd’s body was released Friday to Rollins Funeral Home in Port Gibson, said Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain. Byrd wasn’t the type to commit suicide, friends and family said.

State education board set to end requirement to pass subject tests Associated Press

JACKSON — The state Board of Education is ready to remove requirements that high school seniors must pass four subject-area tests to graduate. Under rules likely to be approved Friday, the board would remove a decades-old requirement for Mississippi public school graduates to pass a standardized graduation exam.

The board set up alternative graduation methods last school year, including achieving certain scores on the ACT college test, Advanced Placement exams or the test the U.S. military gives to recruits. Thus, some students can already graduate without passing the tests in algebra, biology, English and U.S. history. Under the proposal, effective immediately,

seniors who fail tests could pass if a combination of test scores and course grades are high enough on a sliding scale. For example, a student with an “A’’ average on classwork could score far below current passing levels and still pass the class. A student with a “D’’ average, though, would only be able to pass if he or she had been within one or two wrong questions.

won their sweepstakes.” USA Today recently reported over $300 million a year is stolen from Americans by scams such as this. In Mississippi, some victims have sent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to invest in these fake winnings. The vast majority of calls in this scam come from the 876 area code in Kingston, Jamaica, and target senior citizens. “I am calling on Publishers Clearing House to come forward and help prevent honest, innocent people in Mississippi from being taken advantage of by foreign scam artists,” said Presley. Tips to avoid the Jamaica based Publishers Clearing House scams are: ■ Beware of any unso-

licited call that may come from the Jamaican area code of 876 and includes an offer that sounds too good to be true. ■ Do not send or wire money for any reason whatsoever to claim a prize. Publishers Clearing House never asks for money to be sent to claim a prize. ■ At Publishers Clearing House major prizes of $10,000 or more are awarded in person, unannounced, by a famous Prize Patrol, or through notice in a certified letter. It does not call winners ahead of time.

Today in History Today is Saturday, March 21, the 80th day of 2015. There are 285 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History:

On March 21, 1965, civil rights demonstrators led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began their third, successful march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. NASA launched Ranger 9, the last of the Ranger series of spacecraft sent to explore the moon.

On this date: In 1925, Tennessee Gov. Austin Peay signed the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in public schools. (Tennessee repealed the law in 1967.) In 1952, the Moondog Coronation Ball, considered the first rock and roll concert, took place at Cleveland Arena. In 1963, the Alcatraz federal prison island in San Francisco Bay was emptied of its last inmates and closed at the order of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. In 1972, the Supreme Court, in Dunn v. Blumstein, ruled that states may not require at least a year’s residency for voting eligibility. In 1985, police in Langa, South Africa, opened fire on blacks marching to mark the 25th anniversary of Sharpeville; the reported death toll varied between 29 and 43. In 1990, Namibia became an independent nation as the former colony marked the end of 75 years of South African rule.

One year ago: A federal judge ruled that Michigan’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, striking down a law widely embraced by voters a decade earlier. (More than 300 same-sex couples in four Michigan counties wed the next day before an appeals court suspended the decision; two Detroit-area nurses are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the marriage ban.)

Ole Miss chancellor’s contract not renewed BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Dr. Dan Jones said Friday that the state College Board is not renewing his contract as University of Mississippi chancellor, and he will leave the job when his current four-year contract expires in mid-September. “I am very saddened by the decision that I will not continue as chancellor, ” Jones said in a letter on the university website. “I very much wanted to continue to serve for another four-year term, and I am disappointed that will not happen. ” Jones, a 66-year-old physician, has led the university since June 2009 after serving six years as the university ’s vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine. He recently returned to work

full time on the main campus in Oxford after treatment for lymphoma. He said Friday that his departure is not related to his health. He said board members expressed concerns about his “unwillingness to adjust ” to the way they conduct business for the state ’s eight public universities. “Over the last couple of years, I have expressed concern and disagreement with the board in some areas, including the funding allocation plan that distributes state funds to various public universities, business issues at the medical center, and responsibility for managing the selection process for the position of vice chancellor to lead the medical center, ” Jones wrote. “I am a person with strong passions about our university and medical center, ” he contin-

ued. “Although the Board may view our conict differently, for me, every disagreement we experienced was rooted in trying to do what was best and fair for our university. ” A recording said Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds ’ phone number was not working Friday. Jim Borsig, who will become commissioner when Bounds leaves for a Nebraska job in a few weeks, could not immediately be reached. Jones has sought to distance Ole Miss from some of its Old South symbols, winning praise from students and alumni who say the university needs a more forward-looking image and criticism from those who say he has tried to rob the campus of its character. He released a plan last August

UNA to honor late songwriter FLORENCE, Ala. — The University of North Alabama Department of Entertainment Industry is honoring one of its former professors, famed songwriter Terry Skinner. The Terry Skinner Memorial Symposium will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1 at the Mane Room in Florence. Skinner taught briefly as an adjunct professor in the Commercial Music program at UNA in the 1980s. He died in November at the age of 71. Skinner’s family asked that any memorial should go to UNA’s Department of Entertainment Industry. In honor of the Skinner family’s generosity, the Department of Entertainment Industry decided to use the money to give back to the songwriting community by hosting the Terry Skinner Memorial Songwriter Symposium. Dr. Bob Garfrerick, chairman of the Department of Entertainment Industry, said it is honored to be the recipient of such generosity. “Our department is grateful to the family and donors, and we are proud to honor Terry Skinner’s legacy by giving back to the songwriting community,” he said. Skinner, along with his writing partners, had many hits, primarily in the 1980s, including the Carpenters’ and Alabama hit “Touch Me When We’re Dancing.” Skinner also is known for his chart topper “Even the Nights are Better,” which was made famous by the band Air Supply. Throughout his career, Skinner had five No. 1 hits and had songs recorded by artists such as, Narvel Felts, Mel Tillis, Jerry Reed, Tanya Tucker, Melissa

Deputies responded and found the female, identified as Teresa Lynn Moss, 40, of CR 8350, Booneville, in the vehicle and determined that she had an expired drivers license, possession of paraphernalia, no insurance, switched tag, obstructing roadway and a felony amount of methamphetamine. She was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and numerous misdemeanor offenses. Her bond was set at $5,000 on the felony charge and $3,500 on the misdemeanor charges.

to try to make the campus more inclusive by creating a mentoring program for black students and documenting the less-thanattering aspects of the school ’s history, including the struggle over integration in 1962. The United States is not yet “a truly post-racial society, ” Jones explained in a memo releasing the 2014 plan. “Our unique history regarding race provides not only a larger responsibility for providing leadership on race issues, but also a large opportunity — one we should and will embrace. ” Confederate Drive, a short street near Fraternity Row, was renamed Chapel Lane, and Jones said plaques could be installed to explain the history of symbols such as a Confederate soldier statue near the main administrative building.

Corinth, Miss.

Ruinous ‘compassion’ It is fascinating to see brilliant people belatedly discover the obvious – and to see an even larger number of brilliant people never discover the obvious. A recent story in a San FranThomas cisco newspaper says that Sowell some restaurants and grocery stores in Oakland’s Chinatown Columnist have closed after the city’s minimum wage was raised. Other small businesses there are not sure they are going to survive, since many depend on a thin profit margin and a high volume of sales. At an angry meeting between local small business owners and city officials, the local organization that had campaigned for the higher minimum wage was absent. They were probably some place congratulating themselves on having passed a humane “living wage” law. The group most affected was also absent – inexperienced and unskilled young people, who need a job to get some experience, even more than they need the money. It is not a breakthrough on the frontiers of knowledge that minimum wage laws reduce employment opportunities for the young and the unskilled of any age. It has been happening around the world, for generation after generation. It is not just the young who are affected when minimum wage rates are set according to the fashionable notions of third parties, with little or no regard for whether everyone is productive enough to be worth paying the minimum wage they set. You can check this out for yourself. Go to your local public library and pick up a copy of the distinguished British magazine “The Economist.” Whether it is the current issue or a back issue doesn’t matter. Spain, Greece and South Africa will be easy to locate in the table near the back, which lists data for various countries. Just look down the unemployment column for countries with unemployment rates around 25 percent. Spain, Greece and South Africa are always there, whether or not there is a recession. Why? Because they have very generous minimum wage laws. While you are there, you can look up the unemployment rate for Switzerland, which has no minimum wage law at all. Over the years, I have never seen the unemployment rate in Switzerland reach as high as 4 percent. Back in 2003, “The Economist” magazine reported: “Switzerland’s unemployment neared a five-year high of 3.9% in February.” In the United States, back in what liberals think of as the bad old days before there was a federal minimum wage law, the annual unemployment rate during Calvin Coolidge’s last four years as president ranged from a high of 4.2 percent to a low of 1.8 percent. Low-income minorities are often hardest hit by the unemployment that follows in the wake of minimum wage laws. The last year when the black unemployment rate was lower than the white unemployment rate was 1930, the last year before there was a federal minimum wage law. Looking back over my own life, I realize now how lucky I was when I left home in 1948, at the age of 17, to become self-supporting. The unemployment rate for 16- and 17-year-old blacks at that time was under 10 percent. Inflation had made the minimum wage law, passed ten years earlier, irrelevant. But it was only a matter of time before liberal compassion led to repeated increases in the minimum wage, to keep up with inflation. The annual unemployment rate for black teenagers has never been less than 20 percent in the past 50 years, and has ranged as high as over 50 percent. This is just one of many policies that allow liberals to go around feeling good about themselves, while leaving havoc in their wake.

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that if I meet with difficulty, I may not go backward, nor stand still, and fear to go forward. Unfold to me the depth and breadth of the ideal and beautiful, that I may not be content to succeed in the shallowness of life: but may I aspire to the height of the soul, even if I fail to acquire great things. Amen.

A verse to share “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?” Proverbs 30:4

Letter from senators states the obvious In her brief press conference at the United Nations, Hillary Clinton led off with a denunciation of the letter to Iranian leaders signed by 47 of the 54 Republican senators. This was in line with Democratic talking points – a sign that the former secretary of state was, perhaps a bit nervously, taking care to curry favor with the Obama administration. Clinton’s criticism was more muted than that of many Democrats, administration spokesmen and the president himself. Democrats encouraged supporters around the country to sign an online petition calling the letter “treason.” The letter in question, spearheaded by freshman Tom Cotton, simply pointed out that any agreement signed by President Obama but not approved by Congress would not be binding on the next president. That shouldn’t be controversial. As Secretary of State John Kerry noted in a Senate hearing, such an agreement would not be “a legally binding plan.” Just as George W. Bush’s written assurances to Israel’s prime minister in 2004 have not been considered binding by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. This is of course not the first time members of

Congress in disagreement with administration policies have reached out to forleadMichael eign Barone ers. There was Speaker Columnist Nancy Pelosi’s 2007 visit with Bashar al-Assad in Syria, for example. Or Edward Kennedy’s behindthe-scenes reach-out to Soviet leaders on how to resist Ronald Reagan’s policies. All these were sparked by nontrivial disagreements on foreign policy between elected members of Congress and elected presidents. So it is here. The disagreement now is not just over negotiating tactics but over the nature of the Iranian regime. Obama supporters have called Cotton “Tehran Tom” and said that the letter strengthens the position of Iranian “hardliners.” This makes sense if you believe, as Obama apparently does, that some current leaders of the Iranian government yearn for a grand bargain with the United States and want to make Iran a normal country. The 47 senators who signed the letter and many other members of Congress

– including many Democrats as well as Republicans – take a different view. They might concede that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif have been uttering honeyed words to American negotiators behind the scene. But they note that the final say in Iran belongs to the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. And they remember that for more than 35 years, Iran has been a leading sponsor of terror, an armed and deadly enemy of United States military forces and a nation whose leaders contemplate with pleasure the destruction of Israel. They see Iran extending its influence across the Middle East, bucking up Assad in Syria and supporting Hezbollah forces on the border of Israel. They see Iran’s military forces leading in battle against the Islamic State in Iraq, and note that administration spokesmen view this with equanimity. That’s not the view of most members of Congress. They see expansion of Iranian power into an Iraq as profoundly disturbing. In this case, at least they agree with Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement, in his speech to Congress, that the enemy of my enemy is my enemy. The president has made

it clear he won’t submit any agreement to Congress for approval, and his spokesmen have made feints at suggesting he would seek approval, in the hopes of some measure of permanence, by the United Nations Security Council. He is evidently ready to acquiesce to an expansion of Iranian power in the Middle East and a green light for Iran to obtain a bomb in 10 years, on the assumption that the character of the regime has changed enough to render it tolerable. Neither Saudi Arabia and other Arab neighbors nor Israel considers that desirable. Neither do most of members of Congress or, to judge from polls, most American voters. Barack Obama seems complacent about Iran’s advances beyond its borders. Telling Iran’s leaders that most in Congress and most Americans disagree and that an agreement may not last is just highlighting what should be obvious.

Reflecting on the mighty Internet There is one place to go where you can find out anything about anyone and any moment in history. That place is called the Internet, and yes, you are using it to read this article. A few decades ago, it would have been considered a luxury, but now it is truly a fixture of life. We seemingly would not be able to live without it – despite the fact that the world did indeed operate without the Internet before its creation. This global system of interconnected computer networks that links billions of devices worldwide has changed the way we live our lives, for both the good and the bad. As millions of academic, business, social, government, private and public networks come together to provide and receive information, I find it rather remarkable how far we have come in the world of technology. I think it is worth discussing the issue of the new net neutrality rules concerning the Internet. When the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to implement the new rules, which make Internet service providers treat all legal con-

tent equally, I immediately shuddered at the thought of more government control in our Ben lives. Carson Essentially, the governColumnist ment is going to regulate the Internet as a public utility so that content providers (such as Amazon and Netflix) cannot pay Internet service providers (like Comcast and Verizon) to deliver their content faster than others – hence the term “fast lanes.” It is imperative that the government administer antitrust laws and safeguard consumers’ ability to choose systems and Internet providers. But to restrict people from paying for something better or faster is not a sound idea. The Internet still has enormous room for growth and innovation, and net neutrality has the potential to suppress said innovation, as business models and novel approaches are hampered by governmental regulation. With so much potential for future Internet advancements, I frequently

have been asked: “What is the impact of technology on our lives, and what are some issues surrounding it?” There obviously is a plethora of positive attributes associated with the Internet and what it enables us to do on a daily basis. We see the Internet utilized in law enforcement to aid our officers, as well as in our classrooms to educate our youth. But this truth-telling machine of the Internet – what does it say about us as a world? Can it tell us why a war is imminent? Can it reveal our secrets and our leaders? Can we trust the Internet to be all things for us – the identifier of our enemies and friends, of whom we should date and even marry? I am raising these questions to spark self-reflection and consideration of the ways in which the Internet affects your life and the role it plays. It is fitting that Facebook updated its community guidelines this past week in order to be more transparent regarding what the social network deems appropriate content for display. The updated community standards page clarifies for

Facebook’s billion-plus users what the network considers safe practices and proper etiquette regarding respect for fellow users and how it handles the security of your account and the protection of your intellectual property. Standards like these really should be adopted by all people who use the Internet, whether or not they use Facebook. Also, we should be very careful about the personal information we post online. Never give up too much of your life via photographs and financial data, because the Internet is a large place, and not everyone utilizing it has the best intentions. The key is to know how to use the Internet without it using you. Otherwise, you could be subject to unfortunate situations. (Ben S.

HealthCare.gov sends corrected tax forms WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday it’s making progress trying to correct a tax-form error that affected 820,000 customers of HealthCare.gov. Administration officials said 740,000 corrected forms have gone out to consumers in the federal insurance marketplace, and another 80,000 will be mailed next week. State-run insurance exchanges, including Covered California, have also sent forms with incorrect information to some customers. The Treasury Department announced Friday that taxpayers who got incorrect information from state exchanges won’t be required to submit corrected returns if they have already filed their taxes. Treasury had previously offered the same leeway for consumers in the 37 states served by HealthCare.gov, the federal marketplace. The Treasury action amounts to a reprieve from paperwork headaches for early tax filers. The issue involves a new government form called a 1095-A. It’s like a W-2 form for health care for people who got subsidized private insurance under President Barack Obama’s law. Consumers who got health insurance tax credits need the information on the 1095-A to file their taxes. Last month, federal officials said more than 800,000 consumers had gotten the wrong details on premiums.

House Judiciary panel enlists GIFs WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee includes some of President Barack Obama’s fiercest critics on immigration. That doesn’t mean they can’t have fun. The panel took an unusually lighthearted approach to immigration policy this week, posting a Buzzfeedstyle listicle comprised of animated GIFs to illustrate the GOP’s opposition to Obama’s executive actions deferring deportations for millions of people in the U.S. illegally.

Celebrities including Britney Spears, Jennifer Lawrence, Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig are featured exclaiming in horror and amazement at captions describing Obama’s moves, and promoting a GOP bill that allows state and local governments to enforce immigration laws. “This is the best!” actress Emma Stone is shown exclaiming over a caption asserting that “By allowing hundreds of thousands of local law enforcement officers to enforce our immigration laws, we keep immigration enforcement up and operating, even when a president tries to unlawfully refuse to enforce our laws.” It’s just the latest example of politicians trying to co-opt popular culture or Internet trends. Obama appeared in a Buzzfeed video recently wielding a “selfie stick” to photograph himself with a smart phone.

Chemical disclosure rules tightened WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday it is requiring companies that drill for oil and natural gas on federal lands to disclose chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, the first major federal regulation of the controversial drilling technique that has sparked an ongoing boom in natural gas production but raised widespread concerns about possible groundwater contamination. A rule to take effect in June also updates requirements for well construction and disposal of water and other fluids used in fracking, as the drilling method is more commonly known. The rule has been under consideration for more than three years, drawing criticism from the oil and gas industry and environmental groups alike. The industry fears federal regulation could duplicate efforts by states and hinder the drilling boom, while some environmental groups worry that lenient rules could allow unsafe drilling techniques to pollute groundwater. Reaction to the rule was immediate. An industry group announced it was filing a lawsuit to block the regulaion and the Republican

U.S. opens criminal inquiry of Schock WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is investigating the congressional expenses and business deals of Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock, and FBI agents have begun issuing subpoenas to witnesses, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Friday. Investigators were focusing on Schock’s House office expense account, expenditures by his re-election campaign and his personal investments with long-time political donors, the person said. Schock, 33, a young, media-savvy Republican, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday after weeks of mounting media reports about questionable expenditures and personal finances. The government was convening a federal grand jury in Springfield, Illinois, according to the person, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the case. The person also said that FBI agents were visiting people close to the Republican congressman who were being compelled by subpoena to testify.

Ex-coach admits sex with student PASCAGOULA — The former coach of the Moss Point High School boys basketball team pleaded guilty to one count of exploitation of a child and two counts of sexual battery in a plea agreement with the government. The Sun Herald reports 46-year-old Micoe Cotton entered his plea Friday. Cotton was arrested in May on a child exploitation charge and seven counts of sexual battery. The grand jury reviewed evidence and indicted him on one child exploitation charge and 14 counts of sexual battery. Prosecutors say the victim in the case was 15 at the time of the first sexual encounter with Cotton. Cotton will be sentenced on May 8.

Lamar wins dispute on water district exit

the district’s eight water parks remained with each of Pat Harrison’s 15 member counties “into perpetuity.” Pat Harrison calculated that Lamar County’s “contractual obligations,” including perpetual support of the parks, would run about $18.6 million. In a 5-4 decision Thursday, the Supreme Court rejected that argument. The ruling upheld a 2013 decision by a chancery judge in Forrest County. Four dissenting justices said the majority erred by not considering whether future financial obligations were essential to the district’s continued existence. Pat Harrison Waterway District Executive Director Hiram Boone told The Hattiesburg American district officials are disappointed with the decision.

Terrorism deals blow to Tunisia tourism industry BY BETH J. HARPAZ Associated Press

The terror attack in Tunisia that killed 21 people is a fresh blow to the North African nation’s tourism industry, which has been struggling since the country’s revolution of 2011. Cruise companies canceled stops in the country as 17 of the victims at the Bardo National Museum

in Tunis were passengers on shore excursions from two cruise ships in port that day. As a result, the attack is likely to further hobble Tunisian tourism, despite an online solidarity campaign using the hashtag #JeSuisBardo, French for “I am Bardo.” Some of those posting “Je Suis Bardo” on social media pledged to visit Tunisia

this summer. The campaign echoed a slogan expressing solidarity with victims of a January terror attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. About 10 American students in a program at the School of International Training in Tunis added their support at an independence day rally Friday.

“It’s important to just show that we’re not afraid to be here in Tunisia,” said Nicole Calande, 20, of San Jose, California. “We want to show the love that we’ve been given by the Tunisian people. We all live with Tunisian families, so it’s very important to show that we’re not scared off.” She hopes travelers will still consider visiting: “There’s so much to see, so much to experience. The food is amazing, the beaches are beautiful.” Another student, Maile Munro, 21, from Seattle, said when Tunisians share their fear that tourists will stay away, she wants to tell them, “We

know that Tunisia is more than this.” Tunisia’s president also urged tourists to keep visiting, insisting that security measures are being taken. “When (tourists) come, it’s a message that they are sending to Tunisians, that they are in solidarity,” Beji Caid Essebsi said on France’s TF1 television Thursday night. Tourism to Tunisia plunged after the revolution in 2011 led to the overthrow of an authoritarian president and augured the so-called Arab Spring. The country has set forth on a democratic path since but the number of tourists never fully recovered. A little more than 6 million people visited Tunisia last year, down 3 percent from the previous year and 12 percent lower from the nearly 7 million who visited in 2010. French tourists have historically been among

the largest groups of visitors to Tunisia but their numbers dropped last year by 6 percent. Tunisia’s tourism minister complained in February that the Paris attacks had spurred an “irrational” spate of cancellations. And yet 2015 began with promise for Tunisian tourism. National Geographic Traveler listed Tunis on its top 20 destinations for 2015, citing its “cultural energy,” festivals and yes, the Bardo museum, known for antiquities. Jean-Paul Tennant, CEO of adventure travel company Geographic Expeditions, said “tourism in the region is already substantially down, and we don’t expect any meaningful effect from this latest tragedy.” He added that those who travel to the region now “tend to be the more intrepid types” who understand that these are “isolated incidents.”

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Richard,” who was named for a hero of World War II, but whose nickname (“Dick”) elicits snickers. My name is Richard, and my friends call me Dick. I’m 79 and 6-foot-4. I was football captain in high school, played at university, and spent four years as a military police paratrooper, so I have a few advantages working for me. But I have never understood why anyone would worry about hurting the feelings of some nitwit who failed to show the respect that any person deserves. A few times over the years I’ve suggested to the speaker that he stuff that comment where it belongs and said I’d be glad to assist if he needed any help, although none of them seemed to need help. They didn’t bother me again, nor did they attempt to socialize with me at all, but it was their loss, not mine. Richard sounds like he’s capable of the same approach but chooses not to use it. Perhaps he should. — Another Richard Dear Richard: We were surprised at the number of men named Richard who wrote to us about their names and nicknames. Read on for a sampling: From Florida: I am 75 years young and

Annie’s Mailbox have used Dick my entire adult life, in both business and personal relationships. Occasionally, I run into someone who makes a stupid comment. I stare at them and respond, “What would you have said if my name was John?” Boston: My idea of the best response would be: “I was named for a war hero. How about you?” Orange Park, Fla.: I was named after my father, Richard Sr., who was called Dick. I was given the nickname “Buddy” so that I would not be referred to as “little Dick.” I’m now 66 and am still called “Buddy” by my siblings, but I’m known to my friends as Richard. Fort Dodge, Iowa: An acquaintance named “Dick” has a good line he uses when he anticipates an unflattering remark might be on its way during introductions. He says, “My given name is Richard, but my friends call me ‘Big Dick.’” This is especially

amusing because he is rather short in stature. Omaha: I have many Richards in my life, beginning with my father, who went by “Dick.” My brother is also Richard, and he uses his full name. My husband is Richard, but he goes by “Rich” most of the time. My son, Richard, goes by “Rick” at family gatherings but sticks with his full name at work. My father-in-law is also named Richard and goes by “Dick.” If you are getting dizzy, take comfort that none of “my” Richards has ever had an issue with the name. I am hoping for a grandson I can call “Richie”! Salem, Ore.: My name is Richard, too. I pursued a career in theater early on and thought that referring to myself as “Dick” might be less cumbersome on my resume. I was fortunate enough to land a major role in a Broadway musical about to embark on a national tour. But when we arrived at the first theater, I discovered that the producer’s office had Freudishly changed my first name to “Peter.” After that, I reverted to Richard.

The Week Ahead

Spotlight on housing The Commerce Department reports on Tuesday how sales of new U.S. homes fared last month. Sales were basically flat in January, slipping 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 481,000. That represents a solid 5.3 percent gain from a year ago when harsh winter weather caused homebuying to stall. Economists anticipate that sales slowed in February.

Seeing green Thereâ€™s plenty of cash on hand at companies in the Standard & Poorâ€™s 500 index. The total balance of cash and short-term securities held by the S&P 500 was $1.43 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter of last year, according to FactSet. That amount excludes companies in the financial sector because they maintain substantial reserves in the course of doing business. Cash is at a record level and shareholders have continued to benefit from rising dividend payments and stock buybacks, but those distributions are growing at a slower pace.
