Circuit judge grants defense motion Man accused in shooting to get psychiatric evaluation

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A defendant in the February 2016 shooting death of a convenience store clerk will undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

In Alcorn County Circuit Court, Judge Paul Funderburk on Thursday granted the defense’s motion requesting a psychiatric evaluation for Brooklyn Traylor,

who was 17 years old at the time of the death of Kris Ledlow, 43, at the MAPCO Express gas station on Highway 72. He faces a charge of capital murder.

The ruling was based on review of medical records from Region IV Mental Health Services and records from Alcorn County Youth Court, which also contain

“The state will argue strongly against, however, any insanity defense or any argument that he is incompetent to stand trial at the appropriate time … but we have no objection to the evaluation itself, as we believe it will be favorable to the state.”

David Daniels Assistant District Attorney

Groups celebrate ‘Light It Up Blue’

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

April is Autism Awareness Month and two Crossroads area groups will celebrate it with several special events.

Reconnect 4 Autism will team up from Region IV Mental Health for a school-related project on Monday to raise funds for locals with Autism.

“We’re calling it Blue Day,” said Reconnect 4 Autism founder Brad Essary. “School staff will be able to pay $5 to wear blue jeans that day. They will also wear blue Autism awareness shirts.”

Local schools set to participate include Corinth city and Alcorn County schools, Tishomingo and Prentiss county schools and Booneville city schools.

“Blue is Autism Speaks’ signature color – ‘Light It Up Blue’ – so blue jeans and blue shirts are perfect ways to raise awareness in our schools,” added Essary.

The local group will also host a Sensory Friendly showing of the “Smurfs The Lost Village” on April 15 at 9:30 a.m. at the Malco Corinth Cinema 10.

“Another perfect way to raise awareness ... the Smurfs are blue which adds another connection to Autism,” said Essary.

Other upcoming Sensory Friendly films include “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” on May 13 and “Cars 3” on June 24.

The films are shown in a

Tree planting honors park commissioner

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

James A. “Jim” Oaks was more than a familiar face at the city park.

Family members recall that even the squirrels loved him and would eat peanuts right out of his hand.

“He had such a kind and gentle nature that even the smallest creatures felt safe around him,” said daughter

Tracy Gardner. “If you had to sum up his legacy in two words, it would be ‘love’ and ‘service.’ “ The CorinthAlcorn County Oaks Parks and Recreation Commission will honor the longtime park commissioner with

a tree planted in his honor. A ceremony is set for April 29 at Crossroads Regional Park, with the time to be announced later.

The landscaper was a lover of trees and spent 25 years as a member of the park commission, serving from 1983 to 2008.

“The way he felt about trees, we feel that would be the greatest honor we could be-

stow on him is to plant a tree in his name,” said Butch Carmichiel, chairman of the park commission. “We’re going to put a plaque up and dedicate the tree to him for his years of service.”

Oaks was instrumental in helping with some of the park’s deteriorating trees and put many hours into the effort Please see OAKS | 2A

“The shows are open to all abilities,” said Essary. “Reconnect and our sponsors provide the opportunity free of charge to children 16 and under as well as individuals with disability of any age.”

Man charged after trailer park shooting Associated Press

SHANNON — A man is facing charges in a shooting that injured one person at Shannon trailer park.

Maurice Moses Johnson, 35, of Okolona was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a felon and violation of probation following the shooting on Monday afternoon.

Shannon police reported witnesses said two men got into an argument; and one man was shot in the leg.

information concerning Traylor’s past mental history.

“The state does not object to the mental evaluation of the defendant given that he does have a history of mental issues,” said Assistant District Attorney David Daniels. “The state will argue strongly against, however, any insanity defense or any argument that he is incompetent to stand trial at the appropriate time … but we have no objection to the evaluation itself, as we believe it will be favorable to the state.”

MARKET The judge will hold other pending motions in the case for consideration after deciding the issue of competence to stand trial.

Micah Allan Bostic is a co-defendant in the murder case. The two were indcited in April 2016.

As the two men attempted to rob the store, surveillance video showed Ledlow reach for a panic alarm before Traylor opened fire. The store clerk suffered multiple gunshot wounds and later died at the hospital.

Thursday’s hearing was held at the Alcorn County Justice Center.

Gardner said the family is honored that the park board wants to recognize his service.

“He viewed his service as an opportunity to create something that could last for many years to come,” she said. “He enjoyed working with other board and community members to expand the activities offered.

Plane crash cause is still unknown

‘To-go-cup’ bill heads to governor

ABERDEEN — Investigators are still uncertain about what caused a plane to crash in Monroe County on Tuesday morning, reported the Monroe Journal.

National Transportation Safety Board Air Safety Investigator Aaron McCarter took questions in a short press conference at the Monroe County Airport on Wednesday afternoon. McCarter, who is serving as investigator in charge, and his team arrived Tuesday night and have been working the scene.

“We have no idea what happened at this time,” McCarter said.

The crash killed pilot Richard Justice, 73, of Hatley, and a passenger, whose name has not been released.

Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley said on Wednesday the preliminary autopsy of Justice shows he died from his injuries in the crash, not any type of medical problem.

The final autopsy report could take eight months, Gurley said.

McCarter said the plane took off at about 6:15 a.m., while it was still dark and overcast.

“The plane made a shallow right turn to the north straight into trees,” McCarter said.

“The flight lasted one minute.

The debris field is 100 yards long and is filled with swamp, standing water and trees.”

McCarter said there is nothing to indicate plane malfunction at this time, but the investigation is still in its early stages. Thorough aircraft analy-

LEE COUNTY — The Lee County Board of Supervisors will be given the authority to create what is known as leisure and recreation districts where liquor can be consumed outdoors, reported the Daily Journal.

The proposal has now passed both chambers of the Mississippi Legislature and is heading to Gov. Phil Bryant.

Bryant signed similar legislation into law last year.

Lee County was not included in the original bills filed this session to expand the number of areas where the leisure and entertainment districts can be located. The bill was to expand on legislation passed last year allowing several towns – including Tupelo, Corinth and towns on the Gulf Coast – to create the so-called “to-go-cup” areas.

The original bill filed this year included adding several cities – including Natchez, Laurel and Ridgeland – to the list of municipalities where to-go-cup areas would be permitted.

In a conference committee, where House and Senate leaders work out the differences in legislation between the two chambers, Lee County was added. Sen. Chad McMahan, R-Guntown, said he worked to get Lee County added.

“Since Lee County is already the No. 1 tourist destination in the state because of the Elvis Presley Birthplace, I thought it would be appropriate to offer the legislation to allow us to strengthen our position,” McMahan said.

Corinth, Miss.

Personality and policy collide In the aftermath of the debacle over the Republican effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, President Trump can learn a lesson that will serve him well in the next battle over tax reform and other issues.

The president was elected Cal Thomas largely on the force of his personality and vague promises to Columnist fix things that are a “disaster,” a favorite word of his.

Personality is not policy. Leaders who lead by personality can also die by personality, which is what happened in the House last week when the president’s threats and armtwisting failed to deliver enough votes. The strategy, if one can call it that, now appears to be to allow Obamacare to collapse under the weight of rapidly rising premiums and deductibles, withdrawal of insurance companies from the exchanges and limited access to physicians of one’s own choosing.

The president’s thinking appears to be that, prior to next year’s congressional elections, Democrats will come crawling and beg for political relief. I wouldn’t count on that.

Politicians regularly campaign on promises to change Washington, or in President Trump’s vernacular, to “drain the swamp.”

No one can really change Washington. More politicians are changed by Washington than change its political culture. As for draining the swamp, that would be fine, as long as the swamp only contained water, but the swamp contains politicians, lobbyists, lawyers and numerous interest groups one might call “swamp people.” These people are happy with the status quo because it gives them access to government and a sense of power, not to mention vast sums of money for persuading members of Congress to include, or exclude, items in legislation that appeal to their wealthy clients.

Before embarking on tax reform, the president might first consider a campaign to expose the numerous ways Washington wastes taxpayer money. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the federal government collected $422 billion in the first two months of fiscal 2017. The prior year also saw record amounts in revenue. Why does government never have enough of our money? Why doesn’t government ever ask if we have enough? It’s not just income taxes. There are taxes and fees on everything, from airline tickets, to fishing and dog licenses. The website theeconomiccollapseblog.com lists 97 of them.

President Trump should read the tax reform speech Ronald Reagan delivered from the Oval Office on May 28, 1985. While Reagan had an undeniably strong personality, this speech was full of policy specifics and led to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the last time the tax code was reformed.

Here is part of what Reagan said: “For the sake of fairness, simplicity, and growth, we must radically change the structure of a tax system that still treats our earnings as the personal property of the Internal Revenue Service; radically change a system that still treats people’s earnings, similar incomes, much differently regarding the tax that they pay; and, yes, radically change a system that still causes some to invest their money, not to make a better mousetrap but simply to avoid a tax trap.

“Over the course of this century, our tax system has been modified dozens of times and in hundreds of ways, yet most of those changes didn’t improve the system. They made it more like Washington itself -- complicated, unfair, cluttered with gobbledygook and loopholes designed for those with the power and influence to hire high-priced legal and tax advisers.”

There were two keys to getting tax reform passed then: An avalanche of letters and phone calls to Congress from people of all political stripes and Reagan’s pledge to work with Democrats on a reasonable bill that would give Democrats partial credit.

President Trump should follow Reagan’s strategy, which was more policy than personality.

Prayer for today Loving Father, cause me to learn from nature that to have perfection I must be attentive at the beginning of growth. Help me to select with care the soil wherein I plant; and to weed and cultivate my life that it may grow to beauty and usefulness. Amen.

A verse to share Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

—Genesis 15:6

Triumphs, tragedies marked Minor’s career STARKVILLE — Bill Minor – who deservedly embodied the title “dean of Mississippi journalists” at the time of his death this week at age 93 – likely wrote the most honest self-assessment of his world view in “South Writ Large,” an online publication of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

In that writing, Minor said: “No matter that I am a native of neighboring Louisiana, born just 50 miles below the Mississippi-Louisiana state line, I’ve always been viewed as an outlier here, somewhat suspect because of my sympathy for the cause of black people, possibly also because I’m a Roman Catholic in a predominantly Baptist state.

“And, of course, because I am a liberal and a yellowdog Democrat, an unapologetic disciple of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who white Mississippians once worshipped but today as they flock to the Republican banner regard as the devil incarnate.

It’s no coincidence that this abject reversal in political and public opinion began after Lyndon Johnson and Congress enacted the 1965 Voting Rights Act which enfranchised many thousands of black citizens for the first time since Reconstruction.”

In those couple of paragraphs, Bill openly and proudly admitted what his Sid Salter most ardent detractors Columnist and critics falsely and consistently accused him of hiding – the fact that he was a liberal Democrat and a devotee of FDR’s “alphabet soup” Big Government.

It is important to remember that in the last decades of his long life, Bill Minor wasn’t writing daily news coverage as he had for The New Orleans Times-Picayune. He was writing a syndicated opinion column.

Few journalists afforded that public forum ever used it more effectively and with greater influence on public policy than did Minor – a tough World War II veteran.

But the fact that Minor was expressing his opinions didn’t stop conservative Republicans – and not a few conservative Democrats – from loving to loathe Minor when he skewered them or their ideals in print.

Despite enduring some real danger in his seven decades of journalism, Minor usually gave as good as he got. He did not bow to intimidation and the more his

critics howled, the harder he attacked.

I came to know Bill on several levels. We did a lot of public affairs radio and TV appearances together. For many years, Minor, the late journalism professor and publisher Gale Denley, nowretired newspaper man and congressional staffer Wayne Weidie and I were frequent guests on a Mississippi Public Broadcasting show called “Mississippi Week” hosted by the late Howard Lett.

Denley, Weidie and I would usually meet and grab a sandwich before taping the show. Over lunch, we’d often try to decipher what position Bill would take on the issues of the day and then all three take the contrary position just to mess with him. Minor usually held his own on the air, but would bark at us when the cameras were off. Minor would get particularly perturbed with Denley, a fellow Yellow Dog Democrat – which delighted Gale.

Bill and I also did a lot of election night, State of the State and gubernatorial inauguration coverage together. Not surprisingly, we disagreed on most issues. In his column over the years, Bill took some shots at me over things he disagreed with in my columns and I usually returned the fire

with both barrels.

To be honest, my relationship with Bill felt strained and I’m sure the feeling was mutual. Like all of us who write for a living, there was an oversized ego. Like all of us who write opinion columns, there was a certitude that wasn’t always factually justified. And like all of us who write opinion columns and receive the requisite public criticism that goes with that turf, there was a combative response ready to meet most any challenge.

But did I respect Bill Minor? Absolutely. There was a period in Mississippi’s history in which Bill’s courage and audacity in reporting about the state’s civil rights struggle, about rampant public corruption, and about how Mississippi really stacked up against the rest of the country was incredibly important.

Some aspects of Bill’s life played out as almost Greek tragedy. Now is not the time to recount those instances.

But friend and critic alike should afford Bill Minor a moment of genuine reflection at his passing and a measure of earned respect for the truly exceptional work he did while keeping his “Eyes on Mississippi.”

On Obamacare, a partywide failure There’s stumbling out of the gate, and then there’s what Republicans just did on health care.

They came up with a substantively indefensible bill, put it on an absurd fast track to passage, didn’t seriously try to sell it to the public, fumbled their internal negotiations over changes -- and suffered a stinging defeat months after establishing unified control of government.

There has been a lot of finger-pointing after the collapse of the bill, and almost all of it is right. This was a partywide failure.

House Speaker Paul Ryan has -- faint praise -thought more about health care policy than almost any other elected Republican.

He rose to prominence with thoughtful policy proposals buttressed by PowerPoint presentations. This was his moment to shine as a wonk.

Instead, with an eye to procedural constraints the legislation would face in the Senate, he wrote a mess of a bill that got failing grades from analysts across the political spectrum.

wasn’t that the merits of the bill would get it over the top, but speed and Rich sheer partiLowry san muscle.

The House National wanted to Review pass it in three weeks, which would be a rush for a bill naming a courthouse.

Ryan gambled that he could get his fractious caucus to rally in record time because he had a president of his own party at his back.

And none other than “the closer,” a President Donald Trump whose calling card is his skill at dealmaking. But you can’t be a closer if you don’t know anything about the product.

President Trump knew the health care bill was wonderful and beautiful and his other characteristic boosterish adjectives. Otherwise, he was at sea. He wasn’t knowledgeable enough to engage in meaningful negotiations. One of his interventions -- to try to placate House conservatives by

stripping out the so-called essential health benefits of Obamacare -- may have lost more moderates than it gained votes on the right.

For their part, Ryan and Trump are united in blaming the House Freedom Caucus, the recalcitrant group of conservatives that destroyed Boehner’s speakership and have made a good start at ruining Ryan’s. The Freedom Caucus is certainly prone to self-defeating purity, but in this case when they said the bill wouldn’t fully repeal Obamacare or do enough to reduce premiums, they were correct. The bill shed support on both the right and the left because of its underlying weakness (it’s hard to get anyone to back a bill with a 17 percent approval rating, per a Quinnipiac poll).

Perhaps most unforgivably, the White House and congressional Republicans now have decided to move on. After seven years of promising to repeal and replace Obamacare -- with Trump thundering it at rallies and Republicans writing it into every campaign document -- they are giving up after three lackluster

weeks. Tax reform beckons.

Republicans tell themselves they will get better results on taxes because it is more natural terrain for the party, an implicit concession that the GOP still can’t bring itself to engage on kitchen-table issues that don’t involve tax cuts.

Perhaps the initial tax legislation will start in a better place, the process will be more deliberate, and President Trump will get immersed more readily in something central to his business dealings. But tax reform is more popular in theory than it is in practice. It requires painful trade-offs and is vulnerable to the political critique that it favors the wealthy and corporations over working people. Already there are divisions between House and Senate Republicans over the so-called border adjustment tax that Speaker Ryan and his team favor.

If tax reform is going to pass, Republicans will have to perform much better than in the foreshortened health care debate. On the bright side, they can’t perform much worse.

Lottery? House leader sets group to study it JACKSON — Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn says he will appoint a committee to study the pros and cons of creating a state lottery.

The Republican from Clinton is a leader in his Baptist church and has long opposed the expansion of gambling in Mississippi, including a lottery. But on Thursday, Gunn told reporters that he wants to see numbers evaluating how a lottery could affect Mississippi’s economy.

“I’m open to looking at it. I do not think it’s going to be the golden egg that everybody thinks that it is,” Gunn said during a news conference a day after the 2017 legislative session ended.

Mississippi is one of six states without a lottery, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Several proposals to create one in Mississippi have died the past two decades, usually with little or no debate.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant asked lawmakers this year to consider a lottery as a way to generate revenue because state tax collections have been lagging. He said Mississippi is losing money because residents are driving to other states to buy lottery tickets.

Lottery proposals never gained traction during the three-month session.

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves has questioned whether a lottery would generate new revenue or would just shift the way people spend money.

Republican Rep. Mark Baker of Brandon put a

lottery amendment into a bill that originally dealt with mental competency in criminal cases. However, House rules prohibit members from making drastic changes from a bill’s original purpose, and the bill died in February when it wasn’t brought up for debate in the full House.

Lottery attempts failed in two other House bills. In one case, Gunn ruled that an amendment could not be added because it would have changed the scope of the bill. In the other bill, Gunn said a lottery amendment was relevant and could be allowed, but the House defeated it.

Gunn said he’ll ask House Gaming Committee Chairman Richard Bennett, a Republican from Long Beach, to lead the lottery study. Gunn wants the group to examine how much it would cost to set up a lottery, how much the state could reasonably expect to collect from ticket sales and how a lottery might affect sales tax revenue.

“If a person takes $10 and goes and buys lottery tickets, versus buying milk and bread — well, that’s 70 cents of sales tax we’ve lost on that $10,” Gunn said. “So, it’s not just a quick, clean collection of dollars. There are costs that have to be backed out.”

Root beer heirs settle inheritance dispute BILOXI — Heirs of a root beer company founded in Mississippi have settled a legal dispute over an inheritance.

The Sun Herald reports Lou Ella Barq sued her son, Barry Barq, in 2016, claiming he took almost

$1.3 million from her. She said he used a power of attorney she granted him after the 2002 death of her husband and his father, William Adoph Barq.

Barry Barq denied wrongdoing.

William Barq was the final family president of Barq’s root beer — a company founded in Biloxi in 1898 that used the slogan: “It’s Good.” Barq’s is now owned by The Coca-Cola Co. Barry Barq’s attorney, Nathan Prescott, says a confidential settlement was reached in a Mississippi court.

Lou Ella Barq, now 91, says she and her son are on speaking terms.

Prison shakedown turns up cocaine, meth VAIDEN — A shakedown at a Mississippi prison turned up cocaine and crystal meth, along with shanks, necklaces and other contraband.

This is the sixth prison shakedown in a month, according to a news release from the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

The search Wednesday targeted the Carroll-Montgomery County Regional Correctional Facility in Vaiden.

It is part of an overall crackdown spearheaded by Pelicia Hall, the state’s new corrections commissioner.

Hall says all prison facilities are subject to unannounced searches.

The Carroll-Montgomery search also turned up scales, tattoo kits, cigarettes and jewelry. Inmates caught with contraband will face disciplinary action.

The news release says inmates who have stockpiles of contraband are likely engaging in extortion.

emergency.

I was tempted to search for her myself, but a panicked cat would not come to a stranger carrying a big umbrella, and by now it was raining in earnest.

So I set cat food in a bright metal bowl at the edge of the woods and peered out the window off and on. Not a sign of a wet and woebegone kitty, Cheryl’s or anyone else’s.

It was still raining the next day when we trekked off into the woods together, Cheryl in a pink raincoat, carrying a halffilled, plastic bottle of treats.

The black cat I’d seen had headed into dense woods, so we went thataway, stepping over fallen logs and brushing through brambles. From time to time, Cheryl called “Sox! Come here, baby,” and shook the treats. Sox would know that rattle.

Internet Wisdom advised us to chat in a normal voice.

She was telling me about the emergency that had taken her to school the day before—the traffic accident, the ruptured spleen, but he’s doing fine— when she stopped mid-sentence. I turned around to see

what was up.

“She’s here. Sox. I see her.”

Hundreds of acres of woods surrounded us, and Sox had shown up at my back door.

Cheryl kept her voice low. But it held a mix of disbelief and joy and fear that something might yet go wrong.

I stood stock still while Cheryl, murmuring gently and moving in slow motion, felt her way down into a gully about five yards away where the cat had flattened herself into a crevice between the roots of a tree.

Sox’s eyes were wild with fear, but she did not bolt as Cheryl slowly, slowly bent over.

And scooped her up.

I could not stop grinning as we climbed back up and out of the woods, Cheryl firmly, almost grimly, holding her best buddy, whose eyes were still as wide as saucers in the little face that peeked out of that pink raincoat.

Age does matter when claiming Social Security With the passage of the Bi-Partisan Budget Act on November 2, 2015, age became a determining factor concerning options in the Social Security world.

Congress, to close loopholes they had created, (we call them claiming strategies) placed beneficiaries into categories we call TIERS. This is the breakdown on Tiers: ■ Tier 1 — if you turned age 66 by April 30, 2016, you could utilize the Roy and claiming strategies Diane File and Suspend Thompson and/or Restricted Application. File Columnists Pillars, LLC and Suspend is a choice of the past and no longer available to Tier 1 individuals.

■ Tier 2 — if you turned age 62

by Jan. 1, 2016, you are eligible to file the claiming strategy Restricted Application. If you are in Tier 1 and missed out on File and Suspend, you are eligible for this option as well.

■ Tier 3 — everyone else.

How does this affect me and my filing options? In many, many ways. Clients that are age 62 by Jan. 1, 2016 and older can greatly improve their position on Social Security with the knowledge of the Rules and Regulations (2,728 rules) that encompass this claiming strategy. You as a couple, or as a divorced individual, have filing options that others cannot capi-

talize on. Also, in the Bi-Partisan Budget Act they did not change the rules affecting Survivor Benefits.

This is an area where we see many poor choices about the options available.

What if I am in Tier 1 and my spouse is in Tier 2? Good question as this situation needs professional review. Different rules for different TIERS so professional advice is strongly recommended.

If you file early, you will reduce and many times eliminate your options. Your benefit is not the only benefit that needs to be reviewed – Pillars LLC reviews your situation collectively for optimal income stream. Many people do not realize that if divorced, you can possibly file for a divorced spousal benefit off the other party. If you meet the rules and regulations, the other party’s benefit will not be affected, nor will they even know that you have filed off their benefit. (this applies to both men and women) We see middle America earners, all day long, with a combined Social Security benefit for their life expectancy in excess of over a million dollars. Social Security is an asset that should not be left to guess work.

Officials: Callers saw truck swerve before deadly crash

BY CLAUDIA LAUER AND JIM VERTUNO Associated Press

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — Law enforcement officials from two Texas departments say they received phone calls about a pickup driving erratically shortly before a collision between a truck and church bus in southwest Texas that killed 13 people returning from a retreat.

One man called the dispatch line just past noon Wednesday to report that a white Dodge pickup was swerving on the road, Uvalde police Lt. Daniel Rodriguez said Thursday. “(The caller) was scared (the pickup driver) was going to cause an accident and asked us to send deputies,” Rodriguez said. “Deputies were dispatched, but before they could reach the area, the same caller called 911 to report that the truck had been in an

accident.”

Dispatchers in Real County received a call from a woman who reported a truck was driving erratically on U.S. 83, county Constable Nathan Johnson said.

Real County officials called Uvalde County officials to coordinate a response to send deputies.

Then, the woman called back and said the truck that had been driving erratically had struck another vehicle before reaching Real County, Johnson said.

“Unfortunately, he struck a motor vehicle before anyone could respond,” he said.

The Texas Department of Public Safety refused to speculate about what caused the head-collision between a pickup and a small church bus near the town of Concan, although one spokesman said the truck driver appeared to have crossed

the center line.

The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators on Thursday to start looking into the crash, which occurred about 12:25 p.m. outside Garner State Park, about 75 miles west of San Antonio.

The fronts of both vehicles were heavily damaged in the collision and the bus was backed up onto a guardrail, with glass and debris scattered around.

Twelve bus passengers and driver Murray William Barrett, 67, died at the scene, DPS Lt. Johnny Hernandez said. Another bus passenger died at a San Antonio hospital. The pickup driver, Jack Dillon Young, 20, of Leakey, Texas, was in stable condition and the lone survivor from the bus remained hospitalized in critical condition late Wednesday, DPS said.

North Carolina reworks ‘bathroom bill’ Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina rolled back its “bathroom bill” Thursday in a bid to end the yearlong backlash over transgender rights that has cost the state dearly in business projects, conventions and basketball tournaments.

The compromise plan, announced Wednesday night by the Democratic governor and leaders of the Republicancontrolled legislature, was worked out under mounting pressure from the NCAA, which threatened to take away more sporting events from the basketball-obsessed

state as long as the law, also known as House Bill 2, remained on the books.

The new measure cleared the House and Senate and was signed

by Gov. Roy Cooper in a matter of hours.

Among other things, it repeals the best-known section of HB2: a requirement that transgender people use the public restrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate.

“For over a year now, House Bill 2 has been a dark cloud hanging over our great state,” the governor said in announcing the signing. “It has

stained our reputation, it has discriminated against our people, and it has caused great economic harm in many of our communities.”

The American Civil Liberties Union and gay rights activists complained that the new law still denies gay and transgender people certain protections from discrimination, and they demanded nothing less than full repeal.

As a result, it was unclear whether the retreat from HB2 would stop the boycotts or satisfy the NCAA. The NCAA had no immediate comment.

The White House’s invitation letter came amid a quickly rising storm over Rep. Devin Nunes, who heads the House intelligence committee. The New York Times reported that two White House officials — including an aide whose job was recently saved by President Donald Trump — secretly helped Nunes examine intelligence information last week.

The House panel’s work has been deeply, and perhaps irreparably, undermined by Nunes’ apparent coordination with the White House. He told reporters last week that he had seen troubling information about the improper distribution of Trump associates’ intercepted communications, and he briefed the president on the material, all before informing Rep. Adam Schiff, the committee’s top Democrat.

Speaking on Capitol Hill Thursday, Schiff said he was “more than willing” to accept the White House offer to view new information.

Burglars ‘flock’ together in L. A. LOS ANGELES — The gang members start their days in the impoverished neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, but their real work begins in some of the city’s wealthiest enclaves.

Each day, the gang hand-picks teams of burglars, who ditch their usual attire for button-down shirts and hop into shiny luxury sedans to blend in as they search for prime targets: homes with no one inside and lots of jewelry and other valuables on hand.

Celebrities including Nicki Minaj and Alanis Morissette are among the suspected recent victims of a crime trend known as “flocking,” so named because gang members flock like birds to areas where residential burglaries provide the biggest payoff.

They knock on the front door and, if no one answers, break in.

The burglars often do not know whose home they are targeting, making it inevitable in Los Angeles that they sometimes hit houses of the nation’s best-known actors, singers and other entertainment figures, police said.

Since January, other victims have included Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and Lakers star Nick Young. Actress Emmy Rossum reported $150,000 in jewelry taken last week from a safe in her home.

After news of the burglary broke Tuesday, the “Shameless” star tweeted, “Thank you to the LAPD. I fully support the police efforts and

dedication.”

Morissette had about $2 million in jewelry and valuables stolen from her Brentwood mansion. Young lost about $500,000 in jewelry and other items during a burglary at his Tarzana home, police said.

Fresh beef coming soon to McDonald’s NEW YORK — Coming soon to McDonald’s: Fresh beef.

The fast food giant said Thursday that it will swap frozen beef patties for fresh ones in its Quarter Pounder burgers by sometime next year at most of its U.S. locations. It’s a major change for McDonald’s, which has relied on frozen beef for more than 40 years.

Employees will cook up the never-frozen beef on a grill when burgers are ordered.

“It’s a really hot, juicy burger,” said McDonald’s USA President Chris Kempczinski.

Fresh beef has been the biggest selling point at rival Wendy’s.

Yet there are larger forces at work that have prompted other menu changes at McDonald’s, known for decades more for the billions of people served than its culinary choices. The world’s largest hamburger chain has been trying to improve its image as more people shun processed foods.

Last year, it removed artificial preservatives from chicken McNuggets and cut out highfructose corn syrup from its buns.

“Fresh, just as a word and a concept, still carries so much weight for customers,” said Robert Byrne, the senior manager of consumer

Officials mandate school merger JACKSON — Lawmakers are ordering the Houston and Chickasaw County school districts to merge by 2021, but are leaving the neighboring Okolona district out of the consolidation.

House and Senate members voted Wednesday to send Senate Bill 2463 to Gov. Phil Bryant.

Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, an Oxford Republican, says he hopes Okolona can be combined with the other two districts later, but says Okolona’s problems are too severe for the other districts to absorb now.

Lawmakers ordered the Perry County and Richton districts to study merging, sending Senate Bill 2461 to Bryant.

Language merging Lumberton schools with Lamar County was stripped from the second bill, but Tollison says he expects that plan to go ahead voluntarily.

An earlier law sought to split Lumberton between Lamar County and Poplarville.

Senators’ focus on election meddling WASHINGTON — Experts on national security painted a sinister picture for senators examining Russian meddling in the 2016 election, detailing the worldwide impact of fake news, smear campaigns and even killings they say could have ties to the Kremlin.

Clint Watts, a former FBI agent now with the Foreign Policy Research Institute Program on National Security, said the Senate intelligence committee should “follow the dead bodies.”

He said several Russians tied to the investigation into Kremlin disinformation activities have been killed in the past three months — not only in Russia, but in western countries as well.

Earlier Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin again dismissed what he called “endless and groundless” accusations of Russian meddling in the U.S. election, describing them as part of the U.S. domestic political struggle. He also said he is ready to meet with President Donald Trump at an upcoming arctic summit.

The hearing Thursday focused mostly on how experts say the Kremlin uses technology and disinformation to influence the opinions of Americans and not on the U.S. policy toward Russia.

Two sentenced in health care case HATTIESBURG — Two Mississippi residents have been sentenced to prison terms for their role in a health care fraud case.

Acting U.S. Attorney Harold Brittain, in a news release Tuesday, said 60-year-old Larry Jenkins and 61-yearold Annie Jenkins, both of Stringer, were sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett.

Larry Jenkins received a 37-month sentence for making a false statement relating to a health care matter. Annie Jenkins was sentenced to 13 months for knowing about the false statement but failing to notify authorities.

Both defendants also were ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $223,594 to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services.

Snapchat’s popularity on smartphones also bodes well. Worldwide ad spending on mobile devices is expected to nearly triple during the next four years, from $66 billion in 2016 to $196 billion in 2020.

Other analysts believe Snapchat’s popularity may have already peaked because its user growth has slowed since Facebook’s Instagram app copied some of its features. Now some of the same Snapchat-like features are coming to Facebook’s dominant social networking app.

Snap’s next litmus test will come in about a month when the company releases its first-quarter results.

Oilfield services company Baker Hughes reports its weekly tally of U.S. oil and natural gas rigs today.

Last week, the number of rigs rose to 809. That tally included 652 rigs exploring for oil and 155 seeking natural gas. The rig count has been rebounding steadily since last year after a protracted slide caused by declining oil prices. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out last May at 404.

A new survey is expected to show that U.S. consumers are feeling better about the economy.

The University of Michigan’s latest consumer sentiment survey is due out today. Economists expect the March index will be 97.6, up from February’s reading of 96.3. The gain would be in line with other gauges of how consumers feel about the economy. A separate index by the Conference Board recently showed consumer confidence hit a 16-year high in March.

Teen would rather text than talk to her crush at school D E A R A B B Y : There is a boy I like at school.

He is a very wellknown perAbigail son around Van Buren school.

I’m not.

I do have a Dear Abby wide variety of friends, and I even talk to some of his.

My friends know I like him, and they would like for me to talk to him.

I wouldn’t mind that, but what would I say?

They want it to happen in person, but I want to do it by text, where I feel more me.

What should I do? -- TENNESSEE TEEN DEAR TEEN: Listen to your friends and approach him in person. A smile and a hello should break the ice. Then follow it up with a question about some activity that’s happening at school.

DEAR ABBY: Could you please address the etiquette of tasting samples at stores, events, food shows, etc.?

People walk up and try to grab a sample with dirty, bleed-

ing, scabby hands not realizing that other people will also be sampling that food.

Samples are supposed to be GIVEN to each person.

And when that happens, the food handler should be wearing clean gloves and be the only person touching the food.

Please let people know that once someone without gloves touches this food, the demonstrator must discard it for health reasons.

Also, samples cannot be given to children without their parents’ permission, and any food allergies must be addressed before someone asks for a sample. -- MARY IN FLORIDA DEAR MARY: Your suggestions are not only good manners, they also make common sense. I hope that readers who don’t know better will learn from your letter for the sake of everyone’s health.

DEAR ABBY: “Enough to Share” was interested in supporting her daughter’s friends through the college application process.

“Enough” could mention to the family that SAT and ACT fee waivers should be available through the school counseling department if the twins are considered low-income.

Students should also know about government assistance programs, such as the Pell Grant, which can give additional money toward tuition for any low-income student.

They can get more information through their schools when they fill out their FAFSA forms. -- TITLE I TEACHER DEAR TEACHER: Thank you for the pertinent information. Read on for some instructive input from another reader: DEAR ABBY: Many schools have “Helping Hands” funds available for this purpose and would allow the family to donate to these specific girls anonymously, if need be.

As an educator, I encourage everyone to reach out to a local school to offer help to struggling high school students.

If they are in a position to do so, they should ask if they can sponsor a student in the college application process or sign up to mentor. -- A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When you’re grown, no one has to sign a permission slip for you to go on the field trip, you just go. Maybe you forgot this and you’re still waiting for permission to adventure. Grant it to yourself and take off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your desire to make other people’s lives better will make yours better, too. Note that “easier” is sometimes better, but not always. Be careful not to confuse the two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

They’ll tell you that balance is a myth. They may be right.

However, since each person is weighted differently (both psychically and physically) no one can define balance for another person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

People feel as though you’re confiding in them when actually what you’re passing off as secret information is a carefully crafted message suitable for anyone. It’s called political savvy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Recent learning has you a little more aware of how the world works than you were yesterday.

This doesn’t make you feel cynical. On the contrary, it makes you feel empowered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If your self-assessment acts strictly in concert with external assessments, you’re headed in a direction that can only lead to unhappiness, emptiness and confusion. To be sure this is not the case, shut out external assessments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Though you thrive in neatness and order, consider that a messy and authentic existence might be better than the monotony that comes with having it all figured out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Carefully consider the story you’re presenting to the world. A minor reworking in the way you talk about yourself and/or your business will be the difference between creating attraction and neutrality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What stymies you in today’s situation is that you have a motive at all. Recognize what you want out of this and then let it go. Decide instead that you simply want the best for all involved.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not everything is going to work, but something should!

When one attempt after another lands in disarray, it’s time to step back, look at the broad view and examine your motives in relation to this scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t know exactly what to do next and you don’t have to know. You’re aware that a change is coming though. The most productive action will be clearing space for something to grow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As the sign of the fish, you sympathize with the plight of sharks.

Life is movement. You have to keep going to keep breathing.

Water flowing over the gills gets oxygen (and in your case, inspiration) to that incredible brain.

Foster Retires After 31 Years After 31 years as a coach, teacher and administrator, Alcorn Central head girls basketball coach Charlette Foster announced her retirement earlier this week. Formerly Charlette Bain, the Alcorn Central icon has spent a majority of her life at ACHS, where she was a high school star and then later at Blue Mountain College. She has spent the last 17 years coaching the Lady Bears and is one of the most respected coaches in north Mississippi. Look for a complete story on Foster soon here in the Daily Corinthian Sports section covering her career.

What’s Going On: Foster retires

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com Sports Editor/Daily Corinthian

Just in case you haven’t heard, an Alcorn County icon is hanging up her coaching whistle and retiring after 31 years in the business.

Alcorn Central girls head coach Charlette Foster, formerly Bain, turned in her official resignation and retirement papers this week and will now be simply a spectator at future Lady Bear games.

“It was very emotional and there were a lot of tears shed,” Foster mentioned when speaking of telling her players the news of her retirement this week. “It just got to

the point where I couldn’t go on saying I’ve gotta hang on for the next senior class because if I did that I’d never quit.”

“I’m at peace with my decision and I’m absolutely sure it’s the right decision.”

Foster has had quite the career as both a player and coach. She was a high school standout for the Lady Bears from 1978-81 before going on to play at the collegiate level for Blue Mountain College.

She spent her first two years post-college as an assistant to legendary coach Gerald Caveness and then Steve Jobe at Central. She spent the next five years coaching in Florida and getting her

masters degree before returning to Alcorn County to take over for another local legend: Lady Lions long-time head coach Myrna McNair.

After her stint at Biggersville, Foster returned home to become the head coach at her alma mater in 2000 and has been in that position since that time.

The annual Christmas Tournament staged at ACHS is named in honor of Foster’s mother Peggy Bain, one of the most dedicated and loyal Alcorn Central fans in school history. The Bain family is well known throughout the region and is filled with successful athletes.

The search is now under-

way for the next Lady Bear head coach and we’ll have it here as soon as it happens.

New TCHS coach Tishomingo County High School this week named Ray Weeks as their new head football coach, replacing Preston Leathers.

Leathers resigned recently and accepted the offensive coordinator position at Northwest Rankin. He was formerly the offensive coordinator at Starkville prior to his arrival in Iuka.

Weeks is no stranger to Northeast Mississippi football, having served 11 years Please see GOING ON | 11A

Football players give back during spring break Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — It’s become a tradition for members of the Ole Miss football team to volunteer their incredibly rare free time to help people in need during spring break.

In past years, players and coaches have done mission work in Panama and Haiti, and this time a group of Rebels traveled a bit closer to home to help restore homes of flood victims in the Mississippi Delta.

Fannie Fountain’s home was under three feet of water for quite some time after the devastating floods

in Drew, Mississippi, last March. Floyd Fedrick’s home also sustained severe water damage.

Although the flooding was more than a year ago, Fountain still hadn’t returned to her own house until recently when the Delta Grace mission organization helped replace old drywall and rewired her electricity. After that, members of the Mississippi Delta Community College football team began to remove the old roof.

“Our role was to put the shingles on the roof,” said FCA Director of Charac-

ter Development Sammie Smith, who led the group of Rebel volunteers that included Jared Farlow, Marquis Haynes, Eli Johnson, Sam Johnson, Dawson Knox, Bryce Mathews, Tayler Polk, Jack Propst, Josh Ricketts, Jordan Sims and Chandler Tuitt.

Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative on the day the Rebels arrived in Drew. Rain kept the roof work to a minimum, but players still gave it their best shot.

“I did some things I was afraid to do like get on top

of the roof because I’m scared of heights,” said Haynes, one of the nation’s most feared rushers coming off the edge to sack quarterbacks. “It was only to help her. She was in need.”

“We were a little disappointed because these guys were looking forward to doing the roof work and bless those families,” Smith said.

“God had other plans for us, so we went in and did some painting and cleaned up some debris with shingles and nails and other things.

Weeks was approved in a 7 AM Tuesday ‘special meeting’ at the District Office.

as head coach at Hamilton High School. Prior to that he was defensive coordinator at Aberdeen.

Weeks has spent the past two years as the Nettleton Junior High principal and will return to the football field as head coach of the Braves during spring drills.

It was a great time of fellowship, and we really enjoyed the opportunity to bless her however we could.”

The opportunity to help others in need is not lost on the Ole Miss players.

“Just realizing how blessed we are to have opportunities to reach out to others and seeing the living conditions of some people, it’s really eye opening,” said Sims, a junior offensive guard.

“It was great to be able to spend time with my brothers and to just give a small portion of our free time to help someone in need, to make their lives a little bit easier.”

“I take it as an opportunity to meet people and to make them happy knowing there are other people out there willing to help them when they’re in need and don’t have anything,” Haynes added.

Head coach Hugh Freeze has encouraged his players to reach back to local and foreign communities throughout his tenure at Ole Miss. He prioritizes helping the needy in his own life specifically through the Freeze

Foundation.

Established in 2014

by Hugh and Jill Freeze, their foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for orphans and needy children around the world.

“Credit to Coach Freeze to make it possible for us to even get to do that,” Smith said.

“My prayer was that we would have some guys that would set aside a little time, just one day, to be able to go and be a blessing and serve others. Those guys did that. They stepped up and committed to going and never wavered.”

Since the Rebels were there, the Mississippi Delta Community College football players were able to finish up the roofs at both Fountain and Fedrick’s homes.

In addition to their trip to the Delta, Ole Miss football players have recently participated in Reading with the Rebels, The Marks Project, Adopt-A-Basket (Thanksgiving) and the Rebelthon.

Dustin Johnson tries to shine at Augusta The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Turn the calendar to the first full week in April, and Dustin Johnson’s three straight victories suddenly seem like dress rehearsals.

Now it’s time for golf’s biggest star to perform at Augusta National, the sport’s greatest theater.

It’s not always that simple at the Masters.

Tiger Woods looked unbeatable in 2000 when he either won or was runnerup in 10 out of 11 PGA Tour events going into the Masters. He took a double bogey and a triple bogey in a span of three holes in the opening round and never caught up. A year ago, Jason Day won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Dell Match Play in successive weeks to reach No. 1 in the world. He never shot better than 71 at the Masters and tied for 10th. It has been 15 years since the No. 1 player in the world — Woods in 2002 — won the green jacket.

For years known as having the rawest talent and the most athleticism, Johnson now is looked upon as a machine, with scant evidence that he has a pulse.

“A perfect, complete player,” Jon Rahm said after losing to Johnson in the finals of Match Play.

“There’s just not a

flaw,” two-time major champion Zach Johnson said.

Jordan Spieth knows Johnson’s game as well as anyone. They were partners at the Presidents Cup two years ago, and they regularly play together at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He has learned not to look because it can get depressing watching Johnson hit shots that few can. That said, Spieth is savvy enough to realize golf is still about the score on a card, and he won Pebble Beach by four shots.

As for the Masters?

“I think Dustin Johnson is the guy to beat in golf no matter where you are,” Spieth said. “Put him anywhere. I think just about anybody would agree with that. If I play my best golf, I believe that I can take down anybody, and you have to believe that. But I think that right now ... he’s playing the best golf in the world.”

No one can dispute that over the last month.

Johnson reached No. 1 in the world with a fiveshot victory at Riviera, where he probably would have shattered the oldest 72-hole scoring record on the PGA Tour if he had known or cared what it was, rather than playing it safe and coasting home over the back nine. He won a World Golf Cham-

pionship in Mexico City (stroke play) and another one on the edge of Hill Country in Texas (match play).

It has been just over 40 years since a player came to the Masters having won three straight tournaments.

And to think that just a year ago, the talk was about a modern version of the “Big Three” with Day, Rory McIlroy and Spieth.

Johnson wasn’t even part of that conversation.

When the 81st Masters begins Thursday, the 32-year-old American will not have experienced anything but trophy presentations for nearly two months.

Johnson talks about the improvement he has made in his wedges, though the biggest difference was going to a controlled fade off the tee, instead of a draw that could sometimes get away from him.

“We were trying to get him to hit it for five or six years,” swing coach Butch Harmon said. “He just had to buy into it. He controls it so much better, and it hasn’t cost him any distance. It’s way too early to compare Dustin to Tiger, but it reminds me of Tiger in 2000.”

For all his power, Johnson never could figure out Augusta National until

two years ago when he tied for sixth. He was nine shots behind Spieth, but it was his first top 10 at the Masters. Last year, his hopes in the final round were ruined by a pair of double bogeys. He tied for fourth, four shots behind.

“The more you play it, the most you understand it and know where to hit,” Johnson said.

Don’t get the idea the rest of the field is about to roll over for Johnson.

Jack Nicklaus marvels at the depth of the top of the golf, which is greater than he has ever seen. Right behind Johnson in the world ranking is McIlroy, who has his own score to settle with Augusta National.

McIlroy had a four-shot lead going into the final round in 2011 and shot 80. Now, the Masters is all that’s keeping him from becoming the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. This is his third try, and he has never had a better chance than that first one.

“I think about what could have been and if that hadn’t have went wrong, I wouldn’t have to answer the questions that I have to answer at this time of the year, every year, until I win one,” McIlroy said.

Spieth has his own bad memories, even though he still has a green jacket.

Foundational public education vs. private option Our forefathers believed strongly in public education.

The historical documents they penned are replete with that notion.

In his 6th Annual Message, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Education is here placed among the articles of public care, not that it would be proposed to take its ordinary branches out of the hands of private enterprise, which manages so much better all the concerns to which it is equal; but a public institution can alone supply those sciences which, though rarely called for, are yet necessary to complete the circle, all the parts of which contribute to the improvement of the country, and some of them to its preservation.”

However, the concept of school choice runs counter to public education.

This week, in an initial extended policy address on education, Federal Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos called for more choice in education. She

proposed focusing on the “individual child” and rejected the versus Stacy “us them menJones tality” she The d e s c r i b e s Downtowner in the competition between public education and charter schools and school vouchers.

The proposal for school choice is not a new one. In fact, it is an overwrought topic that has brought no educational gains to fruition. In 2010, filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, who also directed Al Gore’s famed “An Inconvenient Truth,” released in 2006, directed another documentary titled “Waiting for Superman.” Here he chronicles the plight of five inner-city elementary school students destined for what passes as education in a set of underperforming schools—and ultimately unpromising

Our forefathers believed strongly in public education. futures due to lack of preparation.

Guggenheim’s film, which stealthily criticizes teachers’ unions, touts the merits of charter schools, one of those privatized implements of “school choice.” In an emotional tug-of-war, viewers witness both parents and children naively fantasizing about pie-in-the-sky vocational possibilities and becoming emotionally involved in their lotteried attempts to snag coveted spots in charter schools.

As if it were that easy.

As if that were the sole solution. As if.

Although public education and its standardization, with its overemphasis on testing in the wake of George W. Bush’s ambitious but flawed “No Child Left Behind” policy, may not be perfect, such

standards—along with the educational requirements of instructors—certainly lend consistency to public education across the nation. It is crucial that students across the country ALL have high, rigorous standards, as well as adequate, fair—but not overly lengthy or burdensome—assessment to measure achievement of those standards.

In high school English classes, for instance, students need to be able to determine central ideas of texts, as well as vocabulary and textual structure, and they need to be able to write well in various genres, including narrative, informative, and argumentative writing—whether they reside in impoverished, rural Mississippi or in wealthy, resourceful California’s Silicon Valley. They need

to accomplish these tasks in order to be vocationally competitive, along with being well-informed critical thinkers who are able to sift through overwhelming amounts of ideas in an informationrich technological age as citizens of one of the most advanced democracies in the world.

A Boston Globe study using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) also shows that public education exceeds privatized education in America. NAEP assesses students at particular grade levels in subjects including math, reading, arts, civics, history, and technology. Those NAEP results from over 13,000 private schools exhibited higher raw scores on the assessment, but once controls were put in place for demographical factors such as race, location, and family income, public school students performed significantly better overall.

also found that private education, although more autonomous, is more outmoded than public education, relying on traditional but outdated principles of instruction, whereas public education combines the traditional with more innovative, cutting-edge pedagogical methods and curriculum.

Consider also that school choice does not always mean choice in the way we might assume.

While charter and religious schools may accept vouchers as part of school choice, those more elite schools in metropolitan communities may not.

Obviously, such schools desire the highest achieving scholars, not those with potential learning problems or a lack of discipline. Such schools may charge exorbitant prices for tuition, such as $15,000 a year, while a government voucher allows only $5,000 in tuition. I doubt that a struggling family relying on a government voucher would be able to make the “choice” to send their children to such schools.

Ultimately, I chose my vocation as a teacher not because I would earn an envious salary but because I love learning and because I believe in the power of public education. My beliefs align, too, with those of the founding fathers of our nation, and, thus, with good reason, I do not believe we should veer from such principles when it comes to educating our students in America.

Life is very short, so be sure to live it well W i t h the schedule I’ve kept lately, there has been no time Lora Ann for writHuff ing or thinking.

Back Porch When I was looking through my files, I came across something I’ve used before which I think would serve all of us well to read and ponder.

When we come to the end of our lives: God won’t ask the square footage of our house, but He will ask how many people we welcomed into our home.

God won’t ask about the clothes we had in the closet, but He will ask how many we helped to clothe.

God won’t ask about

our social status; He will ask what kind of class we displayed.

God won’t ask how many material possessions we had, but He will ask if they dictated our life.

God won’t ask what our highest salary was but if we compromised our character to obtain it.

God won’t ask how much overtime we worked, but if our overtime work was for us or for our family.

God won’t ask how many promotions we received, but He will ask how we promoted others.

God won’t ask what our job title was but if we performed our job to the best of our ability.

God won’t ask what we did to help ourselves, but what we did to help others.

God won’t ask how many friends we had, but He will ask how many people to whom we were a friend.

God won’t ask what we did to protect our rights but what we did to protect the rights of others.

God won’t ask in what neighborhood we lived but how we treated our neighbors.

God won’t ask about the color of our skin but about the content of our character.

God won’t ask how many times our deeds matched our words, but He will ask about how many times they didn’t.

God won’t ask why it took us so long to accept Salvation, but He will lovingly take us to our mansion in Heaven instead of the gates of Hell.

I was reminded in a women’s Bible study that

A view of God’s natural beauty Not long ago my wife and I, along with three other couples, made Gary a trip out Andrews west to visit the Devotionals G r a n d Canyon.

It had been many years since I had seen the canyon and this was the first trip for my wife and some of the others.

It is a breath-taking experience to view this wonder of the world.

How anyone could see the beauty and magnificence of this landmark and contradict the existence of the Lord is beyond my understanding. Even though the guide we had tried to explain how this extraordinary and magnificent piece of art came to being, he finally had to admit that this was the work of the Lord even though he gave scientific reasons of why and how the canyon was created through erosion.

He told us it started as a flat piece of land and over the last 500,000 plus years how the wind and water made this giant hole in the earth. He told of the different layers of rock and gave us reasons why and how the evolution of science brought this site into being and what it will look like again in several thousands of

years. He also predicted that our future generations will not see what we are seeing today because of the natural erosion of the earth.

As he spoke to us I had to wonder how our life is comparable to the Grand Canyon. How do we allow something made by God to be corrupted and eroded from a miracle that only God can make? Why have we allowed ourselves to get away from God’s Word and Creation to find our own resolutions of what happened and when?

I firmly believe that God creates no mistakes.

I also firmly believe that we, as God’s people, allow Satan to attack us and give in to his temptations.

Satan’s reasoning for doing things his way erode our lives to the point that we question God, His creation and judgment.

Satan provides beautiful pictures of what is around us and how we can flourish if we follow him and it seems that most of the world has given into his reasoning not thinking of the consequences in the end.

If we continue to allow Satan to use us for his purposes and we continually say that God had no part in His creation, then we are doomed for the gates of Hades with no possibility of redemption.

Sin erodes our lives and takes us deeper and deep-

er into sin until we either succumb to the pressures of the earth and mankind or we turn our lives over to Jesus with the promise of an eternal home.

The Grand Canyon is a natural beauty created by a loving God for all of His people to enjoy. Yes it was created through erosion and will possibly disappear one day but it will be through God’s plan and in His time. Man, as we know him today, will have nothing to do with how long this massive site will be around and can try to explain how science created and will dissolve this natural creation.

It is the same with our soul. Satan will erode your spirit and knowledge of the Lord Jesus as long as you let him. When we take our eyes off of Jesus and let Satan have his way then we are going to struggle with temptation and give in to worldly views.

Don’t let Satan control your life. Ask Jesus to come into your life and guide you through time and create the being that He will be satisfied with.

Prayer: Thank you Lord for the natural wonders and beauty of this earth that you created and gave to us for enjoyment. I pray that others will realize that you are in control and not man. Lead me and guide me to do your work and be your witness.

Amen.

in the span of eternity as a whole, each of us is allotted a frame that equals about 10 minutes to do what it is we were placed on earth to do – and we need to work to get it done quickly because the time is so short.

Everyone over 40 years old can easily realize that time is very short. My husband and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary this past Christmas, and I

look back now and wonder where all those years went. We were so busy with everyday life and responsibilities - raising four kids - and suddenly the time passed and we’re left to wonder how it all happened so quickly.

I was always bothered by the verses in the Book of James which reads, “…

What is your life? You are a mist (vapor) that appears for a little while and

then vanishes.” (James 4:14 NIV) … But the words are so true, and for some of us, I guess the vapor is getting wispy and thin already.

Life is indeed short – let’s live it well and do as much good as we can do with the one chance we have!

(Daily Corinthian columnist Lora Ann Huff is a resident of the Wenasoga community.)

It’s back!

Abusive mom causes custody concerns WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My son shares custody with the mother of one of his boys but lives hundreds of miles away. He is great with this 9-year-old, and the boy is very happy when they are together.

The boy’s 18-year-old half brother is the perfect big brother, and they are very close.

The boy’s mother has difficulties. Just before I saw him recently, she had slapped him hard in the face. I believe she has choked the boy. His voice was pretty hoarse when I saw him. Her daughter, the boy’s half sister, was hospitalized after a drug overdose that was apparently a suicide attempt.

My son says the boy’s mother would make life difficult and possibly contest custody if he were to try to get full custody.

His lawyer only tells him to document everything.

My son’s mother and sister think the same way and advise him against taking action. Those three people are not good at listening to anything that contradicts their way of thinking.

Suggestions, please. — Worried About Grandson Dear Worried: Your concerns are absolutely valid, and this situation demands action. Though your son’s lawyer is right — he should be sure

Dear Annie to document all evidence of abuse — your son needs to go beyond that to protect his son right now.

Your grandson’s mom seems to have intimidated everyone into being afraid.

Don’t play into the roles she’s written.

The stakes are very real.

Call the police if and when you suspect abuse, and call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 800-422-4453 for general guidance about how you can support your grandson and son.

Dear Annie: This is in reference to “What’s in a Name?” — who was frustrated that a relative had chosen the name she wished to use for her future child.

This woman can always use the name she wanted to be for her future son as his middle name.

It’s a simple solution.

Plus, if she ever does have a son, his cousin will feel good about the child’s having part of his name.

I had friends who gave their firstborn the name

“Cody.”

When the second son came along, they named him “Dakota.” They could not nickname Dakota “Cody,” which in this area is the nickname for Dakota.

So they nicknamed Dakota “Dak.” Unfortunately, my friends lost both sons within less than a month of each other — between Thanksgiving and Christmas — a few years ago.

So what really is in a name?

I hope “What’s in a Name?” gets her wish to have a son.

My friends were past the age of having another son when they lost both Cody and Dakota.

I am now a grandmother.

My daughter and sonin-law made my grandson’s middle name Cody, in memory of our friends’ sons. — Proud Grandmother in PA Dear Proud: Thank you for sharing this incredibly moving story. You’ve put things into perspective. I’ve found that looking at the big picture has the power to remove all the tiny flaws and remind us what a gift it is to simply be here beholding it.
