The Alcorn County school board recently voted against an amendment to an employee rights related policy. Among the crowded March 14 agenda included the approval to amend a policy regarding termination of non-licensed employees per Mississippi Code. “Our policy currently allows non-licensed employees to request and be granted a hearing by the board following their termination by a principal or superintendent,” said board attorney Arch Bullard. “Mississippi is an at will state which means non-licensed individuals have no right under statue. Amending this policy would conform with the state statue.” Although the board has no right to rehire a non-certified employee, the board policy does allow an terminated employee the right to ask for a hearing. If board members voted against this amendment, it would have stripped that right from noncertified employees. Bullard said he’s never seen such a policy by any board. “It’s been in place for awhile, it looks like,” he added. “But I was recently asked whether it Please see POLICY | 3A

The new owners of the Downtown Motel want to reshape the character of the property with a shift from motel rooms to apartment units. The proposal cleared its first hurdle Monday with approval of a variance from the city’s board of adjustment to allow residential use of the property, which is zoned C-1 commercial.

TISHOMINGO COUNTY — More jobs are coming to the Crossroads area. The Mississippi Development Authority announced Tuesday manufacturer Comfort Revolution will add 50 new jobs and invest another $1.5 million into it’s Belmont operations. The producer of high-end mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows provides sleep products to companies like Sealy from it’s Tishomingo County location. “Job creation is critical to a vibrant economy, and Mississippi has seen significant growth in that area this year. I thank Comfort Revolution for continuing that momentum with this expansion and wish the company many more successful years in Tishomingo County,” said Gov. Phil Bryant in a MDA press release. Comfort Revolution moved it’s operations to Belmont in 2012 and quickly announced the creation of 200 to 300 jobs. The 50 jobs announced Tuesday will bring total employment to 250 at the plant.

After working in marine sales at Pickwick for more than 37 years, Memphis native Bill Avery retired and is now busier than ever. “My wife told me I couldn’t sit around the house,” he said. “I always loved the outdoors, so I decided to start taking pictures.” The 77-yearold has been shooting photos for six years and is currently a Daily Corinthian contributor. “I enjoy playing with lighting in my photography,” Avery said. “The different techniques that can be used to create color in a photo fascinates me.” Fifty-two years ago, Avery said, “I married the love of my life. The first day I laid my eyes on Vicki, I knew I was going to marry her.” The couple have two grown children and four grandchildren.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, March 30, the 90th day of 2016. There are 276 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously injured outside a Washington, D.C., hotel by John W. Hinckley Jr.; also wounded were White House press secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and a District of Columbia police officer, Thomas Delahanty.

On this date: In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward reached agreement with Russia to purchase the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million. In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited denying citizens the right to vote and hold office on the basis of race, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. In 1975, as the Vietnam War neared its end, Communist forces occupied the city of Da Nang.

Mother of three dies Deputies find meth in single-car crash after traffic arrest INGRAM — A Prentiss County mother of three is dead following a single vehicle crash in southwestern Prentiss County. Deana Ruth Milstead Mears, 46, was killed when she apparently lost control of her car while traveling south on County Road 6381 near Ingram and struck a light pole and several trees, according to Sheriff Randy Tolar. She was alone in the vehicle and no one else was involved or injured. Funeral services for Mears were held Monday at Mt. Olive Baptist Church where she was a member. She was a support therapist for Timber Hills and served as a counselor for crisis intervention. Immediate survivors include one daughter, Katie Beth Mears, two sons, Rick Mears and Jake Mears, her mother, Mildred Grant Milstead, a brother, Andy Milstead, her mother-inlaw, Diane Mears, a special friend, Randle Hall, and the father of her children, Randy Mears.

IUKA — A Tupelo woman was recently arrested by Tishomingo County Sheriffs deputies. Alexis Raine Turner, 22, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Turner was originally taken into custody for traffic violations. While she was in the back of the patrol car, a deputy noticed something laying beside the suspect in the back seat. When they arrived at the jail, a search was conducted where a bag of alleged meth was found. She is currently being held in the Tishomingo County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

All district hirings and firings must then be approved by the board, unlike non-certified employees. “Even though we don’t have the authority to hire them back because they are at-will employees in an at-will state, I still think

Corinth, Miss.

There ain’t no light MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Inside the old Montgomery city auditorium, dignitaries said the things dignitaries say, and Hank’s daughter Jett Williams thanked all the right folks in the succinct manner she’s perfected at such events. Then in the very same room where Hank’s funeral was held 63 years ago, the Rheta new Hollywood movie “I Saw Johnson the Light” played on a temporary screen. The sound was muddy, and thus the dialogue Columnist hard to follow. The music was easier to understand because we already knew the lyrics. Though, face it, nobody sounds exactly like Hank, not even his grandson, who sometimes tries. On the other hand, British actor Tom Hiddleston looked a whole lot like Hank. Hiddleston left his native Westminster behind, dropped the “g” in “cheatin’” and gave an extraordinary performance. It was impressive, even without being able to hear everything and despite coming into the room thinking a portrayal of Hank by a Brit was some kind of sacrilege. When I was a kid, movies about Jesus never showed his face, just long hair from behind, or his feet from the cross. Movie Hanks in the past have been so bad -- especially George Hamilton in 1964, who someone described as the second-worst casting choice possible behind Sammy Davis Jr. -- that I had about decided that the same faceless approach used for Jesus should apply to my musical hero, Hank. Even with the premiere’s imperfections, I loved sitting in that funeral room and watching that movie. Same as British Vivian Leigh played a Southern belle to perfection, Hiddleston mostly “got” the soul of a Deep South hillbilly singer whose devils were chronic pain, self-medication and women. Mama Lillie was spot-on. There was an accurate portrayal of Hank’s first wife Audrey as money-grubbing, talentless and an inspiration for Hank’s hurting songs. The actress who played Billie Jean, Hank’s second wife and eventual widow, was guileless and beautiful, true to fact. The cars and clothes and homes took you back. Only a fraction of the 20,000 who gathered in a Montgomery street in 1953 would have fit inside the room where we watched the movie. I’ve always envisioned Hank’s funeral being like that scene in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” when disparate strangers from all over show up independently because they’ve been spoken to at different times and in different ways by the same alien force. All are amazed that others felt compelled to come, to gather as a whizbang spaceship makes its landing. Hank’s songs were so personal that each and every fan thought he might be the only one there to pay respects, a Jay Gatsby kind of funeral. The final scene in the movie really got to me. Hank is leaving Montgomery, his mama and Billie Jean, with whom he seems to have found some modicum of happiness. His gaunt face is framed in the blue Cadillac’s window for a few seconds. My willing suspension of disbelief puts goose bumps on my arms. Is it a perfect Hank movie? No. But a good one, I think. I’m reserving final judgment till I can hear all the dialogue, and I suspect a tabloid approach outweighs the effort to explain his genius. Then again, maybe the salacious aspects of Hank’s life do explain the genius. Maybe it took all the trouble and strife to fuel that voice and pen. While living on the edge, he hit our hearts dead-center. (To find out more about Daily Corinthian columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www.rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.)

Prayer for today Almighty God, make me conscious of my weaknesses, and make me ashamed of my indulgences. Give me a victory over self; and may I consider more what I put in my life. May I be eager for that which will inspire me for greater aspirations. Amen.

Is Trump right about NATO? I am “not isolationist, but I am ‘America First,’” Donald Trump told The New York times last weekend. “I like the expression.” Of NATO, where the U.S. underwrites three-fourths of the cost of defending Europe, Trump calls this arrangement “unfair, economically, to us,” and adds, “We will not be ripped oﬀ anymore.” Beltway media may be transfixed with Twitter wars over wives and alleged infidelities. But the ideas Trump aired should ignite a national debate over U.S. overseas commitments -- especially NATO. For the Donald’s ideas are not lacking for authoritative support. The first NATO supreme commander, Gen. Eisenhower, said in 1951 of the alliance: “If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project will have failed.” As JFK biographer Richard Reeves relates, President Eisenhower, a decade later, admonished the presidentelect on NATO. “Eisenhower told his successor it was time to start bringing the troops home from Europe. ‘America is carrying far more than her share of free world defense,’ he said. It was time for other nations of NATO to take on more of the costs of their

own defense.” No Cold War president followed Ike’s counsel. Pat But when Buchanan the Cold War ended Columnist with the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, and the breakup of the Soviet Union into 15 nations, a new debate erupted. The conservative coalition that had united in the Cold War fractured. Some of us argued that when the Russian troops went home from Europe, the American troops should come home from Europe. Time for a populous prosperous Europe to start defending itself. Instead, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush began handing out NATO memberships, i.e., war guarantees, to all ex-Warsaw Pact nations and even Baltic republics that had been part of the Soviet Union. In a historically provocative act, the U.S. moved its “red line” for war with Russia from the Elbe River in Germany to the EstonianRussian border, a few miles from St. Petersburg. We declared to the world that should Russia seek to restore its hegemony over any part of its old empire in Europe, she would be at war

with the United States. No Cold War president ever considered issuing a war guarantee of this magnitude, putting our homeland at risk of nuclear war, to defend Latvia and Estonia. Recall. Ike did not intervene to save Hungarian freedom fighters in 1956. Lyndon Johnson did not lift a hand to save the Czechs, when Warsaw Pact armies crushed “Prague Spring” in 1968. Reagan refused to intervene when Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski smashed Solidarity in 1981. These presidents put America first. All would have rejoiced in the liberation of Eastern Europe. But none would have committed us to war with a nuclear-armed nation to guarantee it. Yet, here was George W. Bush declaring that any Russian move against Latvia or Estonia meant war with the United States. John McCain wanted to extend U.S. war guarantees to Georgia and Ukraine. This was madness born of hubris. And among those who warned against moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch was America’s greatest geostrategist, the author of containment, George Kennan: “Expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the postCold War era. Such a decision may be expected to impel Russian foreign policy in directions decidedly not to

our liking.” Kennan was proven right. By refusing to treat Russia as we treated other nations that repudiated Leninism, we created the Russia we feared, a rearming nation bristling with resentment. While Trump is focusing on how America is bearing too much of the cost of defending Europe, it is the risks we are taking that are paramount, risks no Cold War president ever dared to take. Why should America fight Russia over who rules in the Baltic States or Romania and Bulgaria? When did the sovereignty of these nations become interests so vital we would risk a military clash with Moscow that could escalate into nuclear war? Trump is challenging the mindset of a foreign policy elite whose thinking is frozen in a world that disappeared around 1991. He is suggesting a new foreign policy where the United States is committed to war only when are attacked or U.S. vital interests are imperiled. And when we agree to defend other nations, they will bear a full share of the cost of their defense. The era of the free rider is over. Trump’s phrase “America First!” has a nice ring to it.

Supreme hypocrisy runs deep in both parties If there is one thing that is bipartisan in Washington, it is brazen hypocrisy. Currently there is much indignation being expressed by Democrats because the Republican-controlled Senate refuses to hold confirmation hearings on President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. The Democrats complain, and the media echo their complaint, that it is the Senate’s duty to provide “advice and consent” on the President’s appointment of various federal oﬃcials. Therefore, according to this claim, the Senate is neglecting its Constitutional duty by refusing even to hold hearings to determine whether the nominee is qualified, and then vote accordingly. First of all, the “advice and consent” provision of the Constitution is a restriction on the President’s power, not an imposition of a duty on the Senate. It says nothing about the Senate’s having a duty to hold hearings, or vote, on any Presidential nominee, whether

for the Supreme Court or for any other federal institution. The power to consent Sid Salter is the power to refuse to Columnist consent, and for many years no hearings were held, whether the Senate consented or not. Nor have Democrats hesitated, when they controlled the Senate, to refuse to hold hearings or to vote when a lame-duck President nominated someone for some position requiring Senate confirmation during a Presidential election year. When the shoe was on the other foot, the Republicans made the same arguments the Democrats are making today, and the Democrats made the same arguments Republicans are now making. The obvious reason, in both cases, is that the party controlling the Senate wants to save the appointment for their own candidate for the presidency to make after winning the up-

coming election. The rest is political hypocrisy on both sides. Various Democrats who are currently denouncing the Republican Senate, including Vice President Biden, have used very similar arguments against letting lame-duck Republican Presidents appoint Supreme Court justices. Last week, the New York Times ran a front-page “news” story about something Chief Justice John Roberts had said, more than a month ago, prior to the death of Justice Scalia, under the headline “Stern Rebuke For Senators.” Since Justice Scalia was still alive then, and there was no Supreme Court vacancy to fill at the time, Chief Justice Roberts’ remarks had nothing to do with the current controversy. In short, the political hypocrisy was matched by journalistic hypocrisy. Indeed, there was more than a little judicial hypocrisy in Chief Justice Roberts’ complaint that Senate confirmation hearings on Supreme Court nominees do

not confine themselves to the nominees’ judicial qualifications, rather than their conservative or liberal orientations. If judges confined themselves to acting like judges, instead of legislating from the bench, creating new “rights” out of thin air that are nowhere to be found in the Constitution, maybe Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees would not be such bitter and ugly ideological battles. Chief Justice Roberts himself practically repealed the 10th Amendment’s limitation on federal power when he wrote the decision that the government could order us all to buy ObamaCare insurance policies. When judges act like whores, they can hardly expect to be treated like nuns. Politicians, journalists and judges should all spare us pious hypocrisy.

Challenge pushes you to innovate when you have to formulate a new strategy. This provides you with a greater array of problem solving skills. Being able to change your perspective as necessary is an invaluable skill. Looking at circumstances from diﬀerent viewpoints enhances your capacity to discover workable solutions. Challenge yourself to strive for meaningful goals. Challenge yourself to constantly grow and improve. Continual learning is part of this process. Strive to learn something new each and every week. Challenge is powerful because it motivates you to purge excuses from your self-talk. What you are willing to do matters. Excuses for failure are selfdefeating. “I can do this,” is the mantra

to constantly be repeating. Attempting to avoid challenge or escape from challenge is a faulty strategy. Refusing to deal with challenge is a recipe for failure. It produces the same result as letting go of your car’s steering wheel while traveling down the road. A passive approach to life leaves you drifting aimlessly out of control. Embrace challenge for the power it has. Welcome new challenges. Challenge is synonymous with opportunity. Since people are constantly looking for opportunity, you should be happy to have challenges. Even a challenge appearing overwhelming provides the same benefits as common challenges. An eﬀective approach is breaking down a sizable challenge into smaller, manageable pieces. Once you have dealt with all of the component parts, you will have overcome the challenge. Every challenge contains a wealth of knowledge. With each

challenge dealt with, you gain invaluable insight into which techniques were eﬀective and which were not. Learn from each experience. Repeat what worked while eliminating unsuccessful strategies. Your attitude concerning challenge makes all the diﬀerence. Welcome challenge as the powerful asset it is and you benefit immensely. Loathing challenges, on the other hand, transforms them into negative experiences with no perceived value. Challenge is a normal component of success. If you are not encountering any challenges, you are not pushing yourself enough. Look forward to each new challenge as the asset it is.

Trips within Mississippi offer invaluable insights BY ROGER WICKER U.S. Senator

When the Senate is not meeting in Washington, I find it helpful to spend time at home in Mississippi, visiting with the people I represent. In recent days, our discussions have covered a number of issues, such as bipartisan accomplishments in the Senate and the future of health-care technology and research. On March 22, I had the opportunity to take part in Delta State University’s lecture series, which has hosted a range of speakers from government, business, and the arts since it began in 2013. I spoke in depth with students, faculty, and members of the community about the ways Republicans and Democrats have found common ground during the 114th Congress. The Republican-led Senate has replaced

I also recently participated in the Ole Miss Insurance Symposium, where our attention turned to concerns with the Department of Labor’s proposed fiduciary rule on retirement advisors. Individuals could be forced to leave longtime advisors because of the proposed rule’s costly and complex hurdles. I continue to push back against this proposal and have

cosponsored two pieces of legislation to protect small investors. One would increase transparency, and the other would require congressional approval of any rule changes. In addition to promoting scholarship and understanding, our colleges and universities are a place for important milestones. In the coming days, I will congratulate 120 new U.S. citizens during a naturalization ceremony at Mississippi State University. These ceremonies are patriotic occasions, where eligible residents who have played by the rules and undertaken the necessary steps for

U.S. citizenship publicly take an oath of allegiance to the United States. Other milestones are on the way, including those that will aﬀect the future of health care. During a recent visit to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, I had the chance to discuss the innovative advancements in telehealth that UMMC is providing to patients across the state. I also toured UMMC’s MIND Center, which is at the forefront of groundbreaking research on Alzheimer’s and dementia. I appreciate the MIND Center’s support of my “EUREKA Act” to create prize competitions for treating and eventually curing Alzheimer’s. Another upcoming milestone is the christening of the new USS Ralph Johnson at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula on April 2. Marine Ralph H. John-

son was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor after sacrificing his own life to shield fellow Marines from a grenade attack in March 1968 during the Vietnam War. His legacy will be remembered for years to come as brave men and women serve our country on the new Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, built in Mississippi to defend freedom around the world. My work in the U.S. Senate is strengthened by the conversations and correspondence I have with Mississippians. In visiting communities across the state, I see firsthand the advancements we have made, the projects we are championing, and the potential for even greater success.

going to stay. “There’s going to be some new exterior, new paint, new shutters, new flowers and landscape,” said Bostick. All flooring will be replaced. In general, though, he said the property is remarkably clean. A new roof was put on a couple of months ago. The owners expect to invest about $50,000 in the conversion.

Bostick, who also manages other rental properties, plans for the property to have an office with hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and provide a base for maintenance employees. In other business, the board will recommend approval of a variance to allow Southgate Shopping Center to have two business signs on one parcel of property.

Owner sought after purse had jewelry ALTOONA, Pa. â€” Police are trying to figure out who owns some jewelry found inside a new purse a woman purchased from a central Pennsylvania department store. Logan Township police Chief Tim Mercer says much of the jewelry was high quality and obviously â€œusedâ€? so police believe a woman may have purchased the handbag, began to stock it with belongings, then forgot about the jewels when she returned it. Whatever happened, the jewels were in the purse when another woman purchased it from the Boscovâ€™s store in Logan Town Center on March 12. The mall is near Altoona, about 85 miles east of Pittsburgh. Â

Foreign adoptions by Americans down NEW YORK â€” The number of foreign children adopted by U.S. parents dropped by 12 percent last year to the lowest level since 1981, according to new State Department figures. The departmentâ€™s report for the 2015 fiscal year shows 5,648 adoptions from abroad, down from 6,438 in 2014 and about 75 percent below the high of 22,884 in 2004. The number has fallen every year since then, to the frustration of many adoption advocates in the U.S. China, as is customary, accounted for the most children adopted in the U.S. Its total of 2,354 was up 15 percent from 2014, but far below the peak of 7,903 in 2005. However, there was a sharp drop in adoptions from other countries that had been high on the 2014 list: The numbers fell from 716 to 335 for Ethiopia, from 521 to 303 for Ukraine and from 464 to 143 for Haiti. Â

say officers shot and wounded a man who pulled a weapon at a security checkpoint as he entered the underground Capitol Visitor Center. Larry R. Dawson of Tennessee, whom Capitol Police identified the man as the suspect, remained hospitalized and will not make a court appearance on Tuesday, said spokesman Bill Miller of the U.S. Attorneyâ€™s Office for the District of Columbia. The 66-year-old was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and assault on a police officer while armed. Dawson underwent surgery at a local hospital and as of late Monday was in stable but critical condition, police said. Dawson disrupted a House session last October by yelling he was a â€œProphet of God.â€? He was issued a â€œstay away orderâ€? by the District of Columbia Superior Court that same month that required him to avoid the Capitol grounds, court documents show.

High court gives unions a victory

Associated Press

WASHINGTON â€” In the clearest sign yet of the impact of Justice Antonin Scaliaâ€™s death, U.S. labor unions scored a major victory Tuesday with a tie vote in a high-profile Supreme Court case they had once seemed all but certain to lose. The 4-4 split, in a case that sharply divided the courtâ€™s liberal union supporters and their conservative opponents, demonstrated how much is riding on President Barack Obamaâ€™s effort to replace Scalia with a judge who could tilt the balance on the high court for years to come. Senate Republicans say they wonâ€™t consider any nomination until a new president takes office. The vacancy helped the liberals this time. The deadlocked vote came in a case that considered whether unions representing government employees can collect fees from workers who choose not to join.

Woman pleads guilty on federal chargesÂ JACKSON â€” A woman has pleaded guilty to a mail fraud charge following accusations she stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from senior citizens seeking help to obtain Medicaid or veterans benefits. Tammy Henderson Palasini pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of mail fraud before U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock in Aberdeen, Mississippi. Palasini will be sentenced Aug. 10. She faces 20 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine, and could be ordered to repay victims. She is the sister of state Supreme Court Justice Dawn Beam and Randy Henderson, senior pastor of Pinelake Church, a large Brandonbased Southern Baptist congregation. Palasini was previously convicted in state court in Sunflower County on bad-check charges and in Wayne County on false pretense charges. State records show sheâ€™s serving a 17-year state sen-

EPA: Cleanup work done at Gulfport site GULFPORT â€” The Environmental Protection Agency says cleanup work has been completed at a site in Gulfport that was placed on the agencyâ€™s National Priorities List in 2012. The Sun Herald reported Monday that the EPA says long-term monitoring of groundwater will be needed at the 11-acre Superfund site where

Chemfax Inc. produced synthetic hydrocarbon resins and waxes from petroleum products from 1955 to 1995. An EPA statement says contaminants on the site included benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and naphthalene. The Harrison County School District owns the land, where a 1999 cleanup effort removed storage tanks, asbestos and 3,400 cubic yards of contaminated soils. Other cleanup work began in April 2014.

Medicare’s rising drug bill Driving the trend is a combination of factors, including higher drug prices, a rising number of prescriptions issued per person and an aging population. This has boosted drugmaker finances and share prices, but industry analysts caution that insurers — and eventually government officials — may fight the rising costs. Earlier this month, Moody’s Investors Service lowered its outlook for the pharmaceutical industry to “stable” from “positive” noting mounting pressure on companies to reduce prices. Still, major payment changes will only happen gradually, according to Bernstein analyst Tim Anderson. For investors, he says, the sector remains “reasonably attractive.”

Rising prescription drug prices are worrying consumers at the local pharmacy and policymakers in Washington, but no one faces a bigger drug bill than Medicare: It supplies drugs to 55 million seniors and disabled Americans. Now that bill is ballooning, and contributing to a national debate about rising drug costs that has implications for patients, drugmakers and investors. Since Medicare began covering prescription drugs in 2006, costs have increased an average of 1.5 percent per year. But spending jumped 13 percent in 2014 and it is projected to increase 6 percent annually in the coming years, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. $150

Eye on hiring

Wall Street anticipates that Carnival’s latest quarterly results improved from a year earlier. The cruise line operator is expected to report today that its earnings and revenue increased in its fiscal first quarter. Investors will be listening for an update on Carnival's bookings for the upcoming travel season, as well as its plans to begin offering cruises to ports in Cuba.

Payroll processor ADP today releases its latest survey of hiring by private U.S. companies. The February survey showed companies added a healthy 214,000 jobs, the latest sign that the job market remains resilient despite economic weakness overseas and tumult in financial markets. The March ADP report comes out two days before the U.S. government’s official jobs report.
