Four murders Massive shooting leaves two dead Deputies

find pair of bodies

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Police believe several South Corinth neighborhood fights and possible gang-related activity led to the deadly shooting that claimed the lives of two Corinth men. Ahmarius Rakim Swinney, 25, of Horton Street and Deonta Dwayne Herman, 22, of Cemetery Street, died of gunshot wounds during the massive shootout on Saturday night at the Nashway Apartments near the South Harper Road and Proper Street intersection in east Corinth. Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance said 911 received a call around 10:32 p.m. of shots fired in the area. “I was actually driving down Harper Road when I heard the gunshots -- somewhere between 80 to 100 shots,” Dance said. “It was chaos when I arrived on the scene, there were people fleeing in every direction. It was extremely hard at that time to tell who was a player in the shooting and who wasn’t.” Dance said he found one of the victims, still alive, lying

Investigators with the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department continue to look into the death of two individuals found over the weekend. A male and female body were discovered by deputies at 155 County Road 171 in the Rockhill area around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 4 following a call from a friend of the individuals. “We are treating the case as a double homicide,” said investigator Reggie Anderson. The bodies were released to the coroner’s office and were believed to have been deceased several days, according to Alcorn County Coroner Jay Jones. No names have been released in the investigation. The Daily Corinthian learned through other sources the names of the two killed were

Easter Sunday Wreck A two-vehicle wreck on Easter Sunday resulted in major damage to both vehicles involved. The white Chevrolet Impala sedan driven by Rebecca Smith of Corinth was traveling west on U.S. 72 at the Harper Road intersection when the white Ford Ranger pickup driven by Olivia Bobo of Tishomingo failed to yield to the right of way. The collision caused Bobo’s pickup to roll onto its side. There were no injuries as a result of the wreck.

As tears streamed down her face, Iris Swinney King pleaded for justice Monday morning outside the Corinth Police Department. “My son was shot down for no reason,” said King, whose son, Ahmarius Swinney, was killed in the gang related shootout in east Corinth Saturday night. “His death is not going to go unanswered.” Police believe fights in the South Johns Street area earlier in the day led to the massive shootout that took the lives of Swinney and Deonta Herman. “My son was not at those fights. He was home at a BBQ with his family,” she said. “He kept telling me how much he loved me, and we talked about

North Corinth voting precinct to move to church in August BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A Corinth voting precinct is moving because of uncertainty about the existing location’s future. The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday approved relocation of the North Corinth precinct from the Corinth SportsPlex to the North Corinth Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell said it’s important for

voters to remember that this change will take effect with the Aug. 4 primary and will not affect the special congressional election coming up in May. The request was made by First District Election Commissioner Bobby McDaniel, who said it is not a change he wanted to make but is one of necessity. If something happened with the ownership a day or two before the election, it “would be a pretty critical problem,” he

said. The SportsPlex filed for bankruptcy in March. McDaniel believes the church offers a convenient and easily accessible location. The Corinth fire station on Highway 2 near Afton was another location that was considered. In other business: ■ Moving towards a bid opening for the park expansion project, the board passed a couple

of resolutions necessary to proceed with the planned bond issue of up to $5.75 million and restructuring of the outstanding balance on the arena bonds. The bid opening is scheduled for April 20. ■ As he has done several times in the past, Fourth District Supervisor Gary Ross raised the issue of money owed to the Fourth District by the Second District. He voted “no” on approval of the monthly

claims docket because he said it shows the Second District has enough funds available to repay the $43,000. The claims docket was approved 4-1. Second District Supervisor Dal Nelms has previously said the debt should have been settled before he took office. ■ Supervisors approved the sheriff’s purchase of a van from King Kars for inmate transport at a cost of $20,500. It is a 2013 Chevrolet.

“I’m not saying he was an angel all his life. He used to get in fights all the time, but he had started doing good,” she added. Swinney was a star football player in high school. He was named Division 1-3A Defensive Player of the Year as a junior at Corinth High School in 2006. “Deonta was a good kid, too,” said King. “He was loved by a lot of people and now he’s gone. He’s got family and parents who are grieving and crying about the lost of their son just like I am.” Herman was a popular athlete, as well. On the basketball court, he was named Alcorn County Player of the Year multiple times and helped the Corinth Warriors to two state tournament appearances in 2009 and 2011. He scored more than 1,360 points and broke several school records during his high school career at CHS. He later played basketball at Northeast Mississippi Community College and was

We worked hard all day to keep something like this from happening, but just couldn’t be everywhere.” Dance said he plans to continue to investigate until justice is served. “It’s been a very emotional few days -- an Easter weekend I’ll never forget,” Dance added.

when someone pulled up in a vehicle and started firing into the group,” said Dance. “We believe shots were fired from different directions, and multiple people were firing. We know there was at least four different caliber guns used and we have recovered 79 rounds from the scene.” Dance said a weapon was discovered on Herman. However, he was not aware if Swinney had a weapon at the time of the shooting. Several apartments and vehicles were hit by gunfire. A white Chevrolet Impala sedan parked out-

side apartment No. 2 was heavily damaged with several bullet holes, broken windows and flat tires. Throughout the day on Saturday, police worked to control fighting in several neighborhoods in the Johns Street area of South Corinth. “We had called in extra units to help with the fights that seemed to be moving from one neighborhood to the next. We also had reports of gunfire, but discovered they were fired into the air,” Dance added. “As soon as officers would arrive, the fights would break up. Things had just started to calm down when the Nashway shootout occurred.”

The chief said his department believed both victims had been involved in the fights from earlier in the day. “The shooting was definitely gang related,” said Dance. “We believe both victims were gang affiliated.” Investigators remained on the scene Monday interviewing friends and family of the victims and neighbors and eyewitnesses in the Nashway Apartments area. “We have some solid leads,” Dance added. “We are just trying to piece together information “ (Tips can be reported by contacting 662-2863377.)

Across the Region

Today is Tuesday, April 7, the 97th day of 2015. There are 268 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 7, 1945, during World War II, American planes intercepted and effectively destroyed a Japanese fleet, which included the battleship Yamato, that was headed to Okinawa on a suicide mission.

On this date: In 1788, an expedition led by Gen. Rufus Putnam established a settlement at presentday Marietta, Ohio. In 1862, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant defeated the Confederates at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee. In 1927, the image and voice of Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover were transmitted live from Washington to New York in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television. In 1939, Italy invaded Albania, which was annexed less than a week later. In 1953, the U.N. General Assembly ratified Dag Hammarskjold of Sweden as the new secretary-general, succeeding Trygve Lie of Norway. In 1966, the U.S. Navy recovered a hydrogen bomb that the U.S. Air Force had lost in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain following a B-52 crash. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter announced he was deferring development of the neutron bomb, a high-radiation weapon. In 1985, British pop sensation Wham! (George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) performed at a packed Beijing stadium in Communist China’s first big-name rock concert. In 1990, a display of Robert Mapplethorpe photographs opened at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center, the same day the center and its director were indicted on obscenity charges (both were acquitted).

PORT GIBSON — Two weekend gatherings at the Claiborne County Courthouse called for action in the death of Otis Byrd, a man reported missing early in March and found March 19, hanging from a tree. The investigation is taking too long, organizers of both groups told the Vicksburg Post, saying they won’t believe it if authorities report that Byrd killed himself. “We want justice, and we want justice now,” said Claiborne County NAACP president Evan Doss, who led a Saturday morning march and rally. “We’re not going to accept suicide. That’s just not there.” Byrd, 54, was found hanging by a bed sheet from a branch of a tree behind his rented house. If agents in Port Gibson cannot say by now whether he was killed or killed himself, more agents are needed, said Doss. The team of federal, state and local investigators is waiting for FBI Laboratory test results, said Don Alway, FBI special agent in charge for Mississippi. “We’ll combine those results with many other facts we’ve gathered, to give the results context. These facts will give investigators the most accurate information to determine what happened,” he said in

a statement emailed to The Associated Press. Claiborne County Supervisor Edwin Smith told the first gathering, “I’d like to apologize on behalf of the county. These people deserve action. We’ve been disrespected. If they can look at a satellite and get your tag number, we can surely get some closure on this.” Stephanie Atlas said her husband worked with Byrd, and she doesn’t believe he committed suicide. “He wasn’t that type of person, so I wanted to come and support the family,” she said. “He didn’t take his own life.” The national chair of the New Black Panther Party, Krystal Muhammad, led a Saturday afternoon community meeting on the courthouse steps. “We know that Otis Byrd was lynched,” she said. “We’re not going to let it just be a coverup. We went and looked at the scene ourselves. It’s impossible that he lynched himself, and we’re not going to let Mississippi get away with their old Mississippi ways.” Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas said people need patience. “All I ask is that people let the authorities do their job and don’t feed into that foolishness, that hearsay,” he said.

to serve 10 years for violating probation on a charge of receiving stolen property. She was arrested last month on charges of kidnapping a man from a Prentiss County home. The man managed to escape at a Corinth convenience store in March. Kelly says Dotson’s arrest in that case combined with other violations, including failing a drug test, lead to the request to revoke her probation.

Student back in court over song The Associated Press

JACKSON — Oral arguments in a lawsuit over whether a Mississippi high school student was exercising his right of free speech when he posted a rap song online criticizing two coaches he accused of misconduct toward female students are now set for May 12. The full 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case in New Orleans. Last December, a three-judge panel overturned Taylor Bell’s suspension, ruling that his actions occurred off school grounds. The full court granted the Itawamba County School District’s motion for a hearing. School officials said that Taylor Bell did not cooperate when they tried to investigate the allegations against the coaches and that he caused a major disruption at school by posting the video in early 2011. The accusations were never substantiated, and charges were never filed. Bell was suspended for seven days and assigned to an alternative school for more than a month. Bell wrote the song “PSK The Truth

Needs to be Told” after he said several young women told him that two coaches at school were behaving inappropriately. School officials said they became aware of the song after it was posted on Facebook and YouTube. School attorneys said Bell made no effort to distance himself from the school and included the coaches’ names and posted the school’s logo with the song. Court papers say Bell wrote the song in December 2010 and put it on his Facebook page Jan. 3, 2011. A disciplinary committee suspended Bell on Jan. 25, 2011, and the county school board upheld the suspension about two weeks after that. Bell and his mother, Dora Bell, of Fulton, sued the county school district in 2011. A federal judge in Mississippi upheld the suspension, and Bell appealed to the 5th Circuit. The 5th Circuit panel, in a 2-1 decision, found the school system failed to prove Bell’s song caused a substantial disruption of school work or discipline.

Corinth, Miss.

In defense of Indiana Indiana is experiencing its two minutes of hate. It is doubtful that since its admittance into the union in 1816, the heretofore inoffensive Midwestern state has ever been showered with so Rich much elite obloquy. Lowry Indiana’s sin is that its Legislature passed and Gov. Mike National Pence signed into law a ReReview ligious Freedom Restoration Act, setting out a legal standard for cases involving a clash between a person’s exercise of religion and the state’s laws. The enlightened are stumbling over themselves in their rush to boycott Indiana. Seattle and San Francisco are banning official travel, and Connecticut is following suit. In a Washington Post op-ed, Apple CEO Tim Cook pronounced the Indiana law part of a “very dangerous” trend that allows “people to discriminate against their neighbors” (never mind that his company is happy to do business in Communist China). The anti-Indiana backlash is a perfect storm of hysteria and legal ignorance, supercharged by the particularly censorious selfrighteousness of the left. All the Indiana law says is that the state can’t substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion, unless there is a compelling governmental interest at stake and it is pursued by the least-restrictive means. The law doesn’t mandate any particular outcome; it simply provides a test for the courts in those rare instances when a person’s exercise of religion clashes with a law. Nineteen other states have similar protections, and they are all modeled on a federal version of the law that passed Congress with near unanimity in 1993 (Indiana’s law is arguably a little more robust than the federal version, since it applies to private suits). If these Religious Freedom Restoration Acts were the enablers of discrimination they are portrayed as, much of the country would already have sunk into a dystopian pit of hatred. Legal historians a century from now may be mystified by how a measure that was uncontroversial for so long suddenly became a mark of shame. They will find their answer in the left’s drive to crush any dissent from its cultural agenda, especially on gay marriage. The religious-freedom laws once were associated with minorities that progressives could embrace or tolerate — Native Americans who smoke peyote as part of religious ceremonies, Amish who drive their buggies on the roads, and the like. That was fine. It is the specter of Christian small-business people using the laws to protect themselves from punishment for opting out of gay-wedding ceremonies that drives progressives mad. Why? It’s a large, diverse country, with many people of differing faiths and different points of view. More specifically, the country has an enormous wedding industry not known for its hostility to gays. The burgeoning institution of gay marriage will surely survive the occasional florist who doesn’t want to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding for religious reasons. As a practical matter, such a dissenting florist doesn’t make a difference; the affected couple might be offended, but can take its business elsewhere. But for the left, it’s the principle of the thing. For all its talk of diversity, it demands unanimity on this question –individual conscience be damned. It’s not clear that Religious Freedom Restoration Acts will shield these kind of business people (they haven’t, to this point). It might be that more specific exemptions are necessary. But the mere possibility that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act might protect a baker opposed to gay marriage is enough to create a furious, unhinged reaction. Yes, there is intolerance afoot in the debate over Indiana, but it’s not on the part of Indianans. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today My Father, if I am to-day without happiness, may I go in search of it. Help me to remember that the will thou hast given me to overcome evil with good I may use to overcome misery with happiness. Make me careful that I may not be trapped by selfishness as I look for joy. May I delight in the sweet sensations that are felt in having consideration for others, and may I make kindness a daily habit. Amen.

A verse to share “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:26

Where the ‘red line’ came from There are still nearly two years left in Barack Obama’s presidency, but historians looking back on his record in foreign policy will surely identify one costly error: his refusal to follow through on the implied threat in stating that the Syrian regime’s use of chemical weapons would be a “red line.” That statement was made in a press conference Aug. 20, 2012. The president was not scheduled to appear; press secretary Jay Carney said, “Looks like there’s a surprise guest here.” After fielding questions on other topics, Obama responded to NBC’s Chuck Todd’s question on whether he envisioned using U.S. military to keep Syria’s chemical weapons in safekeeping. “We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized,” Obama said. “We have communicated in no uncertain terms with every player in the region that that’s a red line for us and that there would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front or the use of chemical weapons.” After that question, the press conference was over. This was one year and two

days after Obama said, “the time has come for President Assad to step aside.” Michael Which, of Barone course, he didn’t do Columnist and, twoand-a-half years later, hasn’t done. It was also three months after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney called for arming Syrian opposition groups and one week before the scheduled opening of the Republican National Convention. And one month after U.S. intelligence agencies detected signs that the Assad regime was moving chemical weapons out of storage, according to a May 2013 story by the well-sourced Peter Baker and three New York Times colleagues. Perhaps presidential politics was on Obama’s mind. Four days after the press conference, Romney said he would send troops to Syria to prevent the spread of chemical weapons. Obama may have communicated his “red line” to pre-empt a Republican attack. Or perhaps, as the Times story suggests, he spoke out of concern that Israel might take action. It reported that Denis McDonough, thendeputy national security

adviser, convened a “frantic series of meetings” on the weekend of Aug. 18-19 on the issue where it was decided that Obama would address the issue publicly. Hence his surprise appearance in the pressroom. But the Times also reported that “red line” was “unscripted and that some advisers were surprised he uttered those words.” But he apparently decided not to take the words back. On the day following the press conference, spokesman Josh Earnest said that “use or proliferation” of chemical weapons “would be very serious, and it would be a grave mistake.” If Obama wanted to protect against political attacks, he succeeded. Syria was mentioned 28 times in the Oct. 22 foreign policy debate with Romney, in which Obama held his own. But after he was re-elected, intelligence agencies reported chemical weapons attacks in Syria in December 2012 and March 2013. An April letter to senators acknowledged that U.S. intelligence thought the Syrian regime was using chemical weapons “on a small scale.” In an April 30 press conference, Obama shifted his emphasis, saying that chemical weapons use “would be a game-changer not simply for the United States but for

the international community.” In September, after it became clear Syria was using chemical weapons, Obama shifted further, saying, “I didn’t set a red line. The world set a red line.” Shortly afterward the red line vanished, as Obama ruled out military action and accepted Vladimir Putin’s offer to supervise removal of Syrian chemical weapons. But the damage was done. “The president bungled the language,” concluded longtime Washington Post diplomatic reporter Glenn Kessler. “He made it appear as if he was denying he had called it a red line, when that obviously was not the case.” Unfortunately, bungling of language has consequences. Government leaders use words like “red line” to mean that grave consequences will follow if the line is crossed. Obama’s failure to back up his “red line” statement with such action has undermined America’s credibility. That’s a problem for America – and the world – until Jan. 20, 2017.

Reforms enacted; ‘meaningful’ yet to be determined OXFORD — Let’s approach this with a timeline: ■ December 2013 — A task force completes its report on wide-ranging changes designed to rein in the double-digit percentage increases in corrections (prison) expenses. Many of the suggestions become law during the 2014 legislative session. ■ Nov. 5, 2014 — Christopher Epps, a 33-year employee of the Mississippi Department of Corrections who has become widely admired by the media and in national corrections circles while serving as corrections commissioner under three governors, shows up at his Jackson office as usual. He cleans out his desk and turns in a one-paragraph immediate resignation. He leaves. ■ Nov. 6, 2014 — Federal officials unseal a 49-count indictment accusing Epps and Cecil McCrory, a former legislator, with 21 pages of wrongdoing — bribery, kickbacks and assorted other crimes involving at least $1 million, possibly as much as $2 million. ■ Nov. 7, 2014 — Gov. Phil Bryant orders a top-down review of all Department of

Corrections contracts. ■ Nov. 21, 2014 — Gov. Bryant beefs up the new prison task Charlie force, addMitchell ing a circuit judge, forColumnist mer Attorney General Mike Moore and Andy Taggert, who was chief of staff to former Gov. Kirk Fordice. Bryant says all meetings of the group will adhere to the Open Meetings Act. ■ Feb. 15, 2015 — Epps and McCrory show up at the federal courthouse. Epps pleads guilty to two counts and filing a false tax return, agrees to forfeit $1 million, his Flowood home, a Gulf Coast condo and two Mercedes. He tells the judge, “I am sorry for what I have done.” Sentencing is set for June 9, when Epps may learn what life is like on the other side of prison bars. ■ Feb. 15, 2015 — On the same day, Gov. Bryant insists on reforms. “I will not tolerate corruption at any level, and I am continuing to work with the Legislature to implement meaningful

reform to the state contracting process.” At the time, a beefy bill was wending its way through state House and Senate chambers. On the House side, Rep. Jerry Turner, R-Baldwyn, was the go-to guy. He chairs the Accountability, Transparency and Efficiency Committee and, in the role, championed legislation that including more disclosure, more controls. Lobbyists have long been required to register and file expense reports in Mississippi. But if a concern wishes to “gift” his favorite lawmaker with a week in Las Vegas, the lawmaker is not required to report it. In the bill as passed by the House, this would change. The legislation would also add more hoops for agency heads entering “sole source” contracts. No power is more susceptible to corruption than an agency head’s power to spend without seeking bids. Bryant backed the measure as passed by the House. But then it got to the Senate. It’s cliché to say the Senate surreptitiously “wa-

tered it down,” and it’s also not 100 percent accurate. The Senate did strip out the requirement of reporting gifts (Vegas, here we come) and scaled back on other provisions. It did allow for more sunshine and retained some of the improved controls on solesource contracting. When it was returned to the House last week, members had a choice. They could send it to conference or pass the reforms on which the House and Senate agreed. House Bill 825 (http://billstatus.ls.state. ms.us/2015/pdf/history/ HB/HB0825.xml) passed 102-16 and was sent to Gov. Bryant who is reported to be amenable to signing it. So it’s a step in the right direction. Was it a “meaningful” step? Others can decide that. It was a step, though. No doubt that most public officials are bone honest. But for those who choose to live the high life off their positions of trust, the law still says nobody has to know. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Volkswagen seeks to add to expansion CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Volkswagen is seeking to add to a planned expansion announced last year to produce a new sport utility vehicle in Tennessee. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports documents show the automaker wants to add an additional 130,153 square feet to the original expansion, 25 percent more than first planned. The additional expansion will add about $18 million to the $900 million project. VW plant spokesman Scott Wilson said the company has decided to increase the size of the body shop to accommodate future production needs. He said that doing that now will save money and give VW flexibility as it makes changes to the way it assembles vehicles. VW is scheduled to go before a local industrial development board on Tuesday to seek permission for the new expansion proposal. In addition to expanding the factory and adding about 2,000 new jobs, the German automaker has said it will set up a new research center that will employ about 200 engineers. The research facility will coordinate products for North America to quickly include customer feedback into planned and existing models, the company has said. Production of the new SUV is scheduled to start at the end of 2016, giving VW an entry into an important segment of the U.S. market. The German automaker hopes to reverse flagging VW sales in the United States, which are down about 9 percent for the year through March compared to 2014. Â

Killer of three can face death penalty DURHAM, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man charged with firstdegree murder in the killing of three Muslim college students can face a death penalty trial, a judge ruled Monday. Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson Jr. said prosecutors had two aggravating factors and that Craig Stephen Hicks is â&#x20AC;&#x153;death penalty qualified.â&#x20AC;? Hicks is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the Feb. 10 killings of 23-yearold Deah Shaddy Bara-

kat; his wife, 21-year-old Yusor Mohammad AbuSalha; and her sister, 19-year-old Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha. Prosecutors said Hicks confessed, and that he was arrested with the murder weapon. Ballistics matched the handgun to shell casings recovered at the apartment and there was gunshot residue on his hands and one of the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood was on his pants, prosecutors said. Police say Hicks, 46, appears to have been motivated by a longrunning dispute over parking spaces at the Chapel Hill condominium complex. The victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families are adamant that they were targeted because they were Muslims and have pushed for hatecrime charges. The FBI is conducting what it has called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;parallel preliminary inquiryâ&#x20AC;? to the homicide investigation to determine whether any federal laws were violated, including hate crime statutes. Search warrants filed by Chapel Hill police said Barakat was shot in the head near the entrance to his condo. The two women were found in or near the kitchen. Eight spent shell casings were found at the crime scene, investigators said. Earlier search warrants listed a dozen firearms recovered from the condo unit Hicks shared with his wife, in addition to the handgun he had with him when he turned himself in after the shootings. Â

Sea lion pulls man with fish into bay SAN DIEGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials say a 62-year-old man holding a fish he caught on a boat in a San Diego bay was pulled overboard by a sea lion. San Diego lifeguards tell the Los Angeles Times that the man was posing for a photo when

the sea lion, apparently attempting to get the fish, bit on the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm instead and pulled him to the bottom of the 20 feet of water in Mission Bay until he was let go and rose to the surface. San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Capt. Joe Amador says in a report by U-T San Diego that the animal lunged over a railing on the boat and latched onto his hand and the fish around 4 p.m.. Â

Jenna Bush Hager expecting 2nd child NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jenna Bush Hager is pregnant with her second child. The twin daughter of former President George W. Bush says she expects to give birth in August. She made the announcement Monday on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show, where she is a contributing correspondent. Her 2-year-old daughter, Mila, is reportedly excited about the news. Hager told her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show colleagues that Mila has been saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baby sissy, baby sissy.â&#x20AC;? Â

Canadians travel 2,000 miles to KFC CORBIN, Ky. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two thousand miles might seem like a long way to go for fried chicken. Two men from Canada who took their sons on a journey to the original home of Kentucky Fried Chicken say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trip theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget. The Times-Tribune reports this was the third trip to the Harland Sanders Cafe and Museum for Brian Lufty, one of the fathers who piled the four sons into a van for the 34-hour pilgrimage from Montreal, Quebec. His tales of earlier visits inspired the trip. The friends left on Thursday, travelling to Col. Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthplace and burial place before arriving at the Corbin restaurant Saturday.

Third Hinds County jail escapee caught JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The third of four inmates who escaped from the Hinds County jail in downtown Jackson is back in custody. The Clarion-Ledger reports Hinds County deputies and U.S. Marshals arrested the 17-year-old at a Jackson motel Sunday. Authorities say the room was registered to teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. He has also been arrested. Two other inmates, both 16, were captured Friday. The two were apprehended at home in South Jackson. Authorities are still searching for another 17-year-old.

Workers fix fishing piers hit by Isaac GULFPORT -- Work has begun to repair four Gulfport fishing piers damaged by Hurricane Isaac in 2012. And Ship Island officials are asking the city for money to help strengthen the pier where excursion boats dock. WXXV-TV reports that demolition on the fishing piers began in February and is now complete. Repairs have begun, and the contractor hopes to finish in less than the four months originally projected. At Ship Island, marketing director Kevin Buckle tells WLOX-TV that officials want to add pylons to strengthen the pier where excursion boats tie up. He says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with Gulfport officials to help offset some of the cost. He says the City Council is scheduled to vote on the project Tuesday.

Tough To Obey God “But God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being made full from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness” - Rom. 6:17-18. For Paul, conversion to Christ required the sinner to be obedient. At the same time, eternal life was the “free gift of God” - V-23. Those who bear the gospel must make the decision to obey Christ in order to be saved. That salvation is God’s free gift does not prevent the possibility that God placed a choice before the sinner. The eunuch was taught by Phillip. “As they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, see, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? Phillip said, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. He answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He commanded the Christ to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Phillip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. When they were come up out of the water--.” Acts 8:3539. The eunuch accepted the “free gift of God-grace” by faith. He was taught the commands of God-Acts 8:35. His obedience was an act of faith. Thus, he received remission of sins, by being baptized -Acts 22:16. Readers, do yourself an act of kindness by reading Acts 8:26-40. The human family is blessed by the grace of God. At His own initiative, He reached out to mankind through His Son, Jesus Christ. Because of His grace, God saves individuals who choose faith and, through faith, obey Him. Men and women are not less responsible, because God in His grace has reached out to save. The New Testament teaches that God sent His Son to open the door of life to sinners-at His own initiative, by His grace. The doctrine of grace is not on the outer edge of the gospel proclamation-it lies near the heart. God reveals Himself in the Bible as loving, gracious and holy. God desires fellowship with man created in His image - Genesis 1:27. The possibility of fellowship with God entailed the possibility of sin-men have chosen sin. God is grace extends to the holy life God expects of mankind. We encourage man to respond to the grace of God. He is the author of salvation to all who-obey by faith. Hed. 5:8-9.

Lawyer: Bomber sought terror The Associated Press

BOSTON — As he planted a backpack containing a bomb near a group of children, Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made a coldblooded decision aimed at punishing America for its wars in Muslim countries, a federal prosecutor told the jury during closing arguments Monday at Tsarnaev’s death penalty trial. “This was a cold, calculated terrorist act. This was intentional. It was bloodthirsty. It was to make a point,” Aloke Chakravarty said. “It was to tell America that ‘We will not be terrorized by you anymore. We will terrorize you.’” Defense attorney Judy Clarke countered by arguing, as she did at the trial’s outset, that Tsarnaev took part in the attack but did so under the malevolent influence of his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan. Clarke repeatedly referred to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — then 19 — as a “kid” and a “teenager.” “If not for Tamerlan, it would not have happened,” Clarke said. The jury is expected to begin deliberating Tuesday morning in the case against Tsarnaev, 21, almost two years after the twin bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and wounded more than 260. It was the nation’s deadliest terror attack since 9/11. If Tsarnaev is convicted — and that is considered a near certainty, given his lawyer’s admission — the jury will then begin hearing evidence on whether he should get life in prison or a death sentence. Prosecutors used their closing argument to remind the jury of the horror of that day, showing photographs and video of the carnage and chaos after the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs exploded. In one video, jurors could hear the agonizing screams of Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager who bled to death on the sidewalk. Another woman and an 8-year-old boy were also killed. Taking aim at the argument that Tsarnaev was led astray by his older brother, Chakravarty repeatedly referred to the Tsarnaevs as “a team” and “partners” in the attack.

Dat monkey don’t play BY JIMMY REED Columnist

When a gypsy carnival stopped at Dad’s Mississippi Delta farm, Jaybird, my boyhood best friend and mentor, bought a monkey from one of the workers. He mentioned that the monkey was a notorious thief, which prompted Jaybird to name him Dillinger. The creature was always in a foul mood, and his face was so ugly that just looking at him made little children flee. Set deeply in his small head, Dillinger’s maraschino red eyes flashed fury, his whiskered mouth puckered and frowned, his flared nostrils were wide apart, and he had a widow’s peak that pointed sharply downward. Dillinger liked only one person: Jaybird. He hated other humans so much that his master had to cage him when visitors came, especially if they were white. Reluctantly, he tolerated my Caucasian skin, but only because I was Jaybird’s friend. Planting season was just a few weeks ahead, and needing an extra man, my father hired a young white guy named Morton. A drifter, he was tall and skinny, with bony facial features and black unfriendly eyes. He al-

ways wore his prized possession, a Boston Red Sox baseball cap, which he claimed was given to him by none other than famed slugger Ted Williams. Its bill was bright red, and the top was made of triangular segments whose points converged beneath a shiny red button. Dad told me to show Morton around the farm, so I made sure to introduce him to Jaybird first. When we arrived, my friend was lounging on the porch, with Dillinger perched on his shoulder. Instantly, the monkey began jumping up and down, pointing, and hooting loudly. “Whoa — don’t come no futhuh ’til I puts dis bad little fella in his cage,” Jaybird said. “Dat monkey don’t play.” The cage was made of strong wires with room between them for Dillinger to reach through for snacks. When Morton remarked that he’d never seen such an ugly creature, the monkey seemed to understand and poked his arms through the wires, grabbing for his insulter. “Don’t git too close,” Jaybird warned. “Like I said, dat monkey don’t play.” Morton shot back, “Shoot — I ain’t a’feared of no monkey — I’ll prove it. He’s got a mean stare,

but mine is meaner. I’ll bet y’all I can outstare him.” Simultaneously, Jaybird and I said, “No way.” Morton kneeled beside the cage and locked eyes with Dillinger, whose simian stare shot right through the hated white face that kept getting closer to the cage. When the bill of Morton’s beloved cap came within range, Dillinger shot out one of his long arms and jerked it into the cage. Then, with machine-like precision and speed, he used his needle-sharp teeth to strip every thread from the cap, leaving a neat pile containing the bill, the top button, and the triangular segments at the bottom of the cage. “I warned you,” Jaybird said to Morton, who stared in shock at the dismembered cap and at Dillinger with deep visceral hatred. “Dat monkey don’t play.

Dean says Rolling Stone rape story rife with bad journalism The Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Rolling Stone magazine’s expose of what it called a culture of sex assaults at the University of Virginia was rife with bad journalistic practice, and “Jackie,” the student at the center of the story, is not to blame for the magazine’s failures, Columbia Journalism School Dean Steve Coll said Monday. “We do disagree with any suggestion that this was Jackie’s fault,” Coll said at a news conference in New York. Rolling Stone pledged to review its editorial practices but won’t fire anyone after the leading journalism school issued a blistering critique of how it reported and edited a discredited article about an alleged gang rape at the university. Coll said the problem of sex assaults on campus is important to the public and that journalists should strive to hold institutions accountable. But Rolling Stone failed to apply basic standards such as attributing facts to their sources, and he hopes the entire saga will serve to train future journalists. Phi Kappa Psi, the fraternity at the center of the article, said it plans “to pursue all available legal action against the magazine.” “The report by Columbia University’s School of Journalism demonstrates the reckless nature in which Rolling Stone researched and failed to verify facts in its article that erroneously accused Phi Kappa Psi of crimes its members did not commit,” said Stephen Scipione, president of the school’s chapter of Phi Kappa Psi. The journalism school’s analysis was accompanied by a statement from Rolling Stone Managing Editor Will Dana apologizing for the failures and retracting the November 2014 story. Some University of Virginia students said none of that will erase the article’s repercussions. “I think the real casualty of the report is the University of Virginia’s trust in journalism,” said Abraham Axler of New York City, president of

the university’s Student Council. “I don’t think any University of Virginia student going through this will ever read an article the same way.” Maggie Rossberg, a second-year nursing student from Crozet, Virginia, said her chief concern is the effect the journalistic lapses will have on rape victims. “This is probably going to discourage other sexual assault survivors from coming forward,” Rossberg said. The Columbia review was undertaken at Rolling Stone’s request. It presented a broad indictment of the magazine’s handling of a story that had horrified readers, unleashed protests at the university’s Charlottesville campus and sparked a national discussion about sexual assaults on college campuses. It came two weeks after the Charlottesville police department said it had found no evidence to back the claims of the alleged victim, who said she was raped by seven men at a

social function at the fraternity house two years earlier. Rolling Stone had asked for the independent review after numerous news media outlets found flaws with the story. The article quoted Jackie as saying that the attack was orchestrated by a fraternity member who worked with her at the school’s aquatic center. She also said she immediately told three friends about the attack, but she said they were generally unsupportive, and that at least two encouraged her to keep quiet to protect their social standing. The article’s author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, also apologized, saying she would not repeat the mistakes she made when writing the article, “A Rape on Campus.” The magazine’s publisher, Jann S. Wenner, told The New York Times that Erdely would continue to write for the magazine and that neither her editor nor Dana would be fired.

Westward expansion Dunkin Donuts is a well-known brand for many consumers on the East Coast, but it is less so as you head toward the Pacific. The coffee and doughnut chain has more than 8,000 restaurants in the U.S., but just a small slice are in western states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just 200 according to a recent note to clients from analyst Gregory Badishkanian of Citi Research. But that presents a tremendous growth opportunity. Dunkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opened a handful of California locations late last year and plans to open 15 to 20 more this year according to Badishkanian. Ultimately Dunkin plans to more than double its U.S. store count to roughly 17,000. So should investors buy Dunkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brands, which also owns the Baskin Robbins ice cream franchise? Analysts are split, but Credit Suisse calls the stock a â&#x20AC;&#x153;top pick.â&#x20AC;? Although there has been some concern about weak same store sales, analyst Jason West believes improvement will come, driven in part by strengthening economic conditions for low-income consumers.

Sizing up borrowing

Retail barometer

Economists predict that consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appetite for borrowing picked up in February from the previous month. Consumers increased their borrowings by $11.6 billion in January to a record $3.3 trillion. That was the slowest growth in more than a year. The Federal Reserve is expected to report today that consumer borrowing rose $14.1 billion in February.

The latest Johnson Redbook Retail Sales Index is due out today. The index tracks data on sales at stores open at least a year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a key indicator of retailer performance since it measures growth at existing stores rather than newly opened ones. The Redbook index has been rising weekly since early February.

Man asks about side benefits of housework my housekeeping and Dear Annie: I recently Annie’s tocooking. Then he said his saw the results of a surabuse was my fault. I bevey that said the more totally uninterested work men do around the Mailbox came in him physically, which house the less sex they get. I have seen many comments in your column from women who stated the opposite -- that if a man did more around the house, he might “get more” in the bedroom. I have always helped out with cooking, mopping floors, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, etc., and never once did I consider that the point was more sex. But this information confused me. I mentioned it to my wife, who said, “Sorry.” So, I asked another woman her thoughts on this subject, and she said men would get more sex, but she had a little smile on her face that told me different. Another woman’s answer was “maybe, maybe not.” So what’s up with the conflicting statements? Should I not help out as much? — Confused Husband Dear Confused: Cute. No. Like it or not, the amount you help around the house should not be tied to how much sex you get. You should help because it’s the right thing to do, and, as a partner in a relationship, you should do your share. If it also

makes your partner feel appreciative and less exhausted, that often translates to more sex. But there are so many factors that go into the desire for intimacy that you’d have to discuss it more thoroughly with your wife to find out what she needs and wants from you that will make her feel desirable and interested. We can guarantee you, though, that if you watch TV while she does all the housework, there is likely to be no sex at all. Dear Annie: “Tired and Disgusted Other Half” wrote an open letter to her husband, who thought it was funny to criticize her in front of their children and friends. I was married to a man who became increasingly verbally abusive over the years. The last eight years of our marriage were horrible. He put me down in front of our employees and demeaned me about everything from my minor weight gain

made him even angrier. Two therapists told him this was verbal abuse, but he would not listen. We were together for 41 years. He never thought I would have the courage to leave. But two years ago, at age 60, I decided that the thought of spending another 20 years being treated this way was more terrifying than the idea of living on my own. I left my home and business and lost my financial security. But two years later, I am doing well. It has not been easy, but I get up every morning and am able to look in the mirror with selfrespect. — Life Is Good Dear Life: It sounds as though you did everything you could to save your marriage, and unfortunately, your husband wasn’t willing to do the same. You needed to save yourself, and we are glad your decision to leave worked out so well. If any of our readers feel they are being verbally abused, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE.
