Assistant Chief Chuck Hinds will retire from the Corinth Police Department on April 27.

Assistant police chief retiring BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

After three decades in law enforcement, Assistant Corinth Police Chief Chuck Hinds is feeling proudly blueblooded. “I grew up in a law enforcement family,” said Hinds, who is set to retire April 27. “I guess it’s just in your blood.” The son of a state trooper, he lived in Holly Springs until age 12, when his family moved to Corinth with a transfer for his father. His uncle was a Memphis police oﬃcer, and his sister is a patrol oﬃcer in Booneville. Carrying on the tradition, his daughter is a dispatcher. He will retire from the Corinth P.D. family with some reluctance. “I love my job. Taking that step to retire is not as easy as some people think,” said Hinds. “I’ve been a part of

this department longer than I haven’t.” The 1984 Corinth High School graduate went into the U.S. Army, serving in the infantry division and then with the military police as a civil liaison and AWOL apprehension officer. After that taste of law enforcement, he applied at Corinth P.D. in 1987 and was hired a couple of months later. In 1989, he went to the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department, followed by a year with the Fulton Police Department. In 1991, he returned to Corinth P.D. for good, and was assigned to narcotics investigations with Ralph Dance in 1992. He moved to sergeant and then training officer before becoming assistant chief in November 2014. Hinds has also served as an accident reconstructionist for the department and, in 2006,

helped launch the special response team. “This was about the time we were really seeing a lot of school violence situations around the United States,” he said. He and Dance worked on a school violence response program with the city and county schools and also shared it with neighboring school districts. “Under David Lancaster’s and Ralph Dance’s leadership, we’ve really worked at being more of a proactive department instead of a reactive department,” said Hinds. “We’ve increased our manpower, our training and our public relations with the community.” With Bowen Johnson, he helped launch the Northeast Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center, which has provided training to oﬃcers Please see HINDS | 6A

Club bringing back Mother’s Day Brunch BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Boys & Girls Club of Corinth will once again honor Crossroads area mothers next month. The local club will host the second annual Mother’s Day Brunch on Saturday, May 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Shiloh Ridge. A spring fundraiser for the club will feature a full brunch buﬀet provided by Duvet Catering, along with a fashion show and keynote speaker Kim Hardwick from Magnolia Regional Health Center. “We took last year’s successful event and tried to make it even better this year,” said

The Alcorn School District welcomed a new president and a new board member on Monday night. The meeting marked the first regular meeting led by president Randy Wilbanks, and also included the swearing in of new interim board member Lamar Walker. Both changes came following the resignation of third district board member Carrol Morton last month. Walker, who was appointed by the board to fill the third district seat, said he’s looking forward to serving the district. “I really appreciate everyone being here and listening in,” Walker told the crowded board

room. “I want to work together on this. It’s not just about one school. It’s about all of us working together.” Walker said he has met with principals at Kossuth, Biggersville, Rienzi and Alcorn Central already this week, and plans to visit Glendale in the future. “I want to thank the principals for allowing me to come into their schools and talk to them,” he said. A special meeting for technology department bids was set for April 18, and Walker said he plans to introduce several ideas during that session. “By law we can’t talk as a board two at a time outside of Please see DISTRICT | 2A

Parent questions student placement BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Questions about student placement was heard from several parents Monday night at the Alcorn School District Board of Education meeting. Rienzi Elementary School parent Terri Bain asked the board if a “plan of action” concerning students moving to other schools was in place. Bain’s two children are among the RES student population set to move to Biggersville Elementary School when the new school year begins on August 1. Last month the board voted 3-2 to close both RES and Glendale Elementary School.

“I’m concerned about the students that are going from Rienzi over to Biggersville and their placement in a school that has no room for them,” said Bain to the board. “Parents have gone to the school to try to figure out where our kids are going to go and nobody seems to know because y’all haven’t figured it out yet.” Bain was also concerned about lunch schedules at BES running “extremely” early. “Lunch schedules will run as normal,” said Assistant Superintendent Ritchie Williams.

The Kossuth Elementary School fourth grader will represent the north half of the state in the Mississippi Department of Education State Reading Fair on April 19 in Jackson. After reading and creating her project on the non-fiction book “Helen Keller,” Simmons took top honors in the nonfiction category in every reading fair she entered, including the Kossuth Elementary School Reading Fair, the Alcorn School District Reading Fair and most recently, the regional reading fair at Oxford held in February. By participating in reading fairs, students often experience a deeper enjoyment for reading and develop a lifelong love of reading. Simmons is the daughter of Greg and Rhonda Simmons.

School director leaves system with improvements BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — If one thinks a school system is unable to make a great deal of progress in just over two years, think again. The McNairy County School System has made clear steps forward in the short tenure of John Prince as director of schools. He announced last week he would resign his position eﬀective July 6. Prince was hired by the McNairy County Board of Education in December 2013. A former teacher and coach in the McNairy John County School System, he was principal of Trenton Middle School in his hometown. His wife, Mollie, is a native of McNairy County and a McNairy Central High School graduate. Prince began in his duties in January 2014, meaning he will have been on the job two and one-half years when he leaves in July. “I am proud of what we have accomplished together,” said

Prince. “McNairy County is blessed with nearly 700 employees who give a tremendous amount of eﬀort every day for the benefit of our children. I am humbled to have had the opportunity to work alongside them.” “The school board members have been wonderful to work with, and I feel there is a sense of unity among the group that will allow it to move forward in the most productive way,” he said. “This was not an easy decision (to resign), nor was it made lightly.” Prince has made many imPrince provements in the school district during his tenure as school director. A consolidation of several educational oﬃces into the McNairy County Annex Building has worked well. The hiring of Larry Smith, a former elected board member, brought criticism on Prince only for the critics to realize later it was good for the system. The system was $850,000 in debt when Prince arrived

and he saved $390,000 in his first full year as school director to help restore the system financially. Prince hopes to save enough this year to address the balance on the McNairy Central High School roof without asking for more financial help from the county commission. A task force is working on improving nearly 20-year-old salary/supplement scales. It was not public knowledge of the system’s financial difficulties when Prince arrived and he made changes to get the system back in the black. Again, critics took to social media to blame the DOS when job cuts were announced only to have the workers rehired later. The maintenance budget increased from $249,000 to just over $500,000. That increase got the district a supervisor, three new maintenance personnel to make it five total employees Three trucks and a miniexcavator were also purchased. “We have gone from reactive in maintenance to proactive,” said Prince. “We have one person dedicated to HVAC, a crew that does preventative maintenance on school roofs, and work with local and state agencies to buy vehicles/equipment at the lowest cost.” Prince hired a new technology director and increased

the technology budget from $100,000 to $325,000. This increase helped vastly improve the infrastructure, organized a plan to rotate technicians between schools to make sure all are properly serviced. Prince worked to increase salaries in several areas in the 2015-2016 school year. For example, teachers received an $1,145 increase and a $575 November lump sum payment; bus drivers and substitutes saw increases in pay, as well as district-level secretarial and financial personnel. He hopes for improvements in all classified salaries this year along with the task force’s recommendations. The building committee progress is clear to see with properties bought adjacent to Adamsville Elementary and Selmer Elementary. There have been roofs installed on McMairy Central, Michie School, and the new Michie Fieldhouse. Chillers have been bought for Selmer Middle and Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School. Major improvements have been with ceiling tile at MCHS and the AHS Gym will have air conditioning for the first time ever. MCHS field drains have been replaced. The school’s football practice field and permanent softball field have been completed. Ramer Elementary’s la-

goon ponds have been cleaned and reworked. Professional Learning Communities have been developed and have proven to be popular with teachers. The PLC brings together teachers from the same grade/subject level together to meet and share together. A $380,000 Math/Science Partnership grant was obtained and math/science teachers have worked with teachers from Hardin and Hardeman counties to share resources, develop resources, and have access to new supplies for their classrooms. McNairy County moved from the bottom of the SW Core of 21 counties to the very top in math improvements in grades 3-8. Specialists have been hired for K-2, and they work with students and teachers every day to strengthen instruction in those grades. The Special Education department got a new supervisor and more special education teachers have been hired to lower the student-teacher ratios in schools. McNairy’s Special Education has gotten excellent reviews through the state monitoring process. Prince can leave his job knowing without a doubt he left the system in much better shape than the way he found it.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, April 13, the 104th day of 2016. There are 262 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 13, 1970, Apollo 13, four-fifths of the way to the moon, was crippled when a tank containing liquid oxygen burst. (The astronauts managed to return safely.)

On this date: In 1613, Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, was captured by English Capt. Samuel Argall in the Virginia Colony. (During a yearlong captivity, Pocahontas converted to Christianity and ultimately opted to stay with the English.) In 1861, at the start of the Civil War, Fort Sumter in South Carolina fell to Confederate forces. In 1964, Sidney Poitier became the first black performer in a leading role to win an Academy Award for his performance in “Lilies of the Field.” In 1986, Pope John Paul II visited the Great Synagogue of Rome in the first recorded papal visit of its kind to a Jewish house of worship. In 1992, the Great Chicago Flood took place as the city’s century-old tunnel system and adjacent basements filled with water from the Chicago River.

NEMCC Child Care hosts open house

MSU to showcase ‘Car of the Future’

BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Child Care Center will hold an open house on Thursday, April 14. Northeast’s Child Care Center provides a learning readiness environment for young children, to demonstrate principles of guidance, and to provide college students with opportunities for observing, interacting with and teaching young children. Slated from 9 a.m. until noon on Thursday, April 14, Northeast’s Child Care Center open house will also allow parents to sign their children up for the 2016 Fall Semester. Located on the first floor of Waller Hall on the Booneville campus, Northeast’s Child Care Center welcomes all children ages 3-5 years old who are trained to use the restroom. Northeast’s Child Care Center operates from 7:45 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7:45 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Fridays during the times scheduled for day classes during the fall and spring

STARKVILLE—Mississippi State University is showcasing its “Car of the Future” this week in Detroit, Michigan, during an event designed to bring together the best talent in the automotive industry. MSU researchers from the university’s Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems are attending the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress April 12-14, when they will reveal the university’s “Car of the Future” after more than two years of work. The project has been under development by a team of MSU faculty, students and alumni working to build a lighter, greener hybrid vehicle that offers over 100 miles of driving using the equivalent of a single gallon of gas – an achievement no other car on the market can offer at the same level of superior efficiency, sporty handling and outstanding performance. The project was funded through a generous gift from MSU alumnus James Worth Bagley to the MSU Foundation.

Hardwick on breast cancer awareness and early detection will be the event’s highlight, according to Holmes. Tickets are $15 each and proceeds will benefit club activities. “Fundraisers like the Mother’s Day Brunch, Catfish & Khakis and the Golf Benefit help us continue to oﬀer programs to kids in the area,” Holmes said. “All programs are based on improving leadership skills in children.” The Boys & Girls Club of Corinth oﬀers a wide variety of programs for all children ages 6-18. Program focus areas include character and leadership development, health and life skills, education and career development, sports, fitness and recreation and the arts. In operation for more than 50 years, the local club has an average daily attendance of 80 to 100 children during school and 120 to 150 children during the summer. (For more information or to purchase event tickets, contact 662-286-6662.)

ents continue to feel “in the dark” about the future of their children’s education. “It looks like y’all should of had a well thought out plan before voting to shut down schools,” she added. “School is starting back in August, and that’s just not enough time.” Williams added Rienzi and Glen teachers have been “taken care of” and know where they will be teaching in August. Student placement is also under control, according to the district’s Elementary Curriculum Director Tammy Johnson. “We plan to establish the class rolls and give the rolls to the homeroom teachers. The teachers will then mail a letter to each student in mid-June which welcomes the child to their class,” said Johnson. “Class rolls will not be published because of privacy. To

be able to adequately establish the rolls, it is imperative parents return the registration forms by April 29.” Class rolls will inform parents of the teacher and classroom location their child will be assigned to for the upcoming school year. “We need those forms back so we can set class sizes. We have a plan in place already based on school population, but we want the registration forms so we can more acutely assign students to each class room,” she added. Registration forms were sent home with students at Biggersville and Rienzi on April 4, while forms will be sent home at Alcorn Central and Glendale on Monday. ACES will host an open house April 21 from 4 to 6 p.m. “This will be the best time for parents and students to meet teachers, principals and tour their new school,” she

said. BES open house will take place in July, one week prior to school starting, according to the director. Johnson added that she will work with those parents who would rather send their children to other schools in the district, as well. “We would prefer that Glen kids go to Central and Rienzi kids go to Biggersville, so that they stay with the classmates and peers they have always known,” she said. “There will also be familiar faces as teachers are moving over, as well.” In other news: - A Biggersville High School parent also addressed the board with leadership concerns earlier this week. Eric Huggins, whose children are in the seventh and eighth grades at Biggersville, said leaders are no longer involved in school activities at BHS.

“Biggersville has always seemed to have great leadership, but things have changed this year,” said Huggins, a paraprofessional with the Biggersville football program. “I want to keep my kids at that school, but I have really lost confidence in administration there.” Huggins said focus on finding a new football coach has been heavy recently, and he doesn’t understand why. “Coach (Ronnie) Lawson has been the coach for the last 14 years. He has stuck with the program through the ups and downs ... the kids love him, the parents love him and building a program is number one (for him),” added Huggins. The parent said he had spoken with Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell, but with the end of school approaching, he wanted to also inform the board of his concerns.

Corinth, Miss.

One Tweet that really expressed my thoughts For old-school newspaper opinion/editorial writers, Twitter has always seemed anathema to what we tried to spend our careers doing — challenging people to talk and think about the important public policy debates that confronted us as citizens. In the absence of topics that lent themselves to that sort of political or social analysis, newspaper columns can also a source of humor or reSid Salter be flection or grief or celebration. Columnist Once in a while, such writing can produce moments, glimpses of illumination. Over the years, the column formats got shorter and briefer and more restricted by the collapse or available space or “news hole” in the newspapers. When I started writing newspaper columns more than 35 years ago, an average column would be around 850 words. Now, the space available in some newspaper will accommodate perhaps 575 words. The other technological and social changes that impacted the old-school op/ed writers was the birth of the Internet and the evolution of social media in an ever-changing number of social media platforms. Now, everyone has a forum to express their opinions and those expressions are virtually instantaneous. When I first came to Twitter, I found the notion of writing anything meaningful or impactful in 140 characters or less to be what I first thought would be a perpetual exercise in futility. After decades of writing longer form analyses of public policy and the detailed play-by-play of Mississippi’s always entertaining political arenas, I remember telling a friend: “Say something in 140 characters? Heck, it takes me more words than that to clear my throat.” Tight writing is good writing. But I’ve never been particularly good at “Tweets” – not like Twitter masters like Jackson lawyer Will Bardwell. Will, an Ole Miss guy to the core, skewers my alma mater every chance he gets and generally keeps a running Twitter commentary (live Tweets) during political or sporting events – and even when I don’t agree with some of his sentiments, Will usually cracks me up. Witty, smart, edgy and literate, Will can turn 140 characters into a powerful tool or even a weapon. But last week, I finally composed a Tweet in which I actually took some pride as a writer. The Tweet expressed my personal opinion on a matter of public policy debate in the state I love. The Tweet expressed my opinion in a manner more sure and certain than I could have done back in the late 1970s when I had 850 words to expend rather than a mere 140 characters. Regarding House Bill 1523, I Tweeted: “Personal opinion: HB 1523 is a solution in search of a problem. Bad public policy. Unnecessary. Wrong. Mean-spirited. Unfair. Discriminatory.” The reaction? Mixed bag. Some were offended (even fellow members of my own Methodist church), others (including a lot of folks I didn’t know) were encouraging, but I think it got my feelings oﬀ my chest. Watching the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries and the absolute orgy of anger and irrational behavior conducted in the name of “liberty” and “freedom” it has became obvious to me that the days of disagreeing agreeably over politics in America are approaching what is perhaps a permanent sunset. These days, people don’t just want to win in the political arena, they want scalps. They want to burn their opponent’s political house down. As the HB 1523 debate continues to rage, it remains important to keep our eyes on the fact that our nation was founded by people seeking freedom of religion and freedom from religion. The separation of church and state is supposed to be a door that swings both ways, not in one direction only. Those concepts, those principles, are not partisan. Or at least, they should not be.

Prayer for today Loving Father, I bless thee for thy love and ministry. May I enter into a broader conception of sharing thy gifts. May I not seek thy blessings to keep, but to use for renewed inspiration. Amen.

A verse to share In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.” — Numbers 14:19

LONDON — It’s called Frontex and, according to its website, the agency “promotes, coordinates and develops European border management in line with the (European Union) fundamental rights charter applying the concept of Integrated Border Management.” Except that it isn’t. As reported by the UK Daily Mail, “Mass immigration is allowing terrorists to sneak into the EU.” In a devastating report, the agency hired by the EU to keep member countries safe from jihadists has admitted what should have been obvious to anyone paying attention and taking seriously their threats. While the agency says 1.82 million people made illegal border crossings last year – a six-fold increase over 2014 – that’s only the number they were able to count. Frontex said it has no idea how many actual illegal crossings there have been. Furthermore it has been unable to trace their movements since they arrived and has no way of tracking them. The Mail says oﬃcials warned that a “staggering number of European citizens had become jihadists and were taking advantage of lax border controls.”

Since ISIS announced its intention to use the migrant flow to smuggle terrorists into Europe, why is it a surprise that they have kept their

word? What is encouraging this invasion is the reluctance of Western governments to adopt policies that might label them “Islamophobes.” In far too many cases those concerns are outweighing their primary responsibility to protect citizens and borders. One example, which may not relate directly to the terrorist threat, but exposes the stupidity that increases the likelihood of more attacks, comes, again, from the Daily Mail, which reports, “EU judges ruled that foreign crime suspects cannot be deported automatically if they risk being imprisoned in degrading jail conditions abroad.” Does that mean judges are OK with suspects committing crimes in the EU while waiting for prison upgrades in their countries of origin? Not that more information is needed about ISIS, al-Qaida and organizations

like the Council on American-Islamic Relations CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, which some believe are little more than Islamic front groups, but in the event you might suﬀer from information deprivation, consider a sobering speech given at Hillsdale College in February by Andrew C. McCarthy, a former U.S. attorney who led the terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and 11 others in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. After some initial reluctance to take Rahman’s announced intentions seriously, McCarthy concluded he “was not lying about Islam,” adding, “When he said the scriptures command that Muslims strike terror into the hearts of Islam’s enemies, the scriptures backed him up.” To those who continue to promote the false notion that Islam is a “religion of peace,” McCarthy responds: “this is how we fall into the trap of allowing the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamic supremacist organization, to infiltrate policy-making organs of the U.S. government, not to mention our schools, our prisons, and other institutions.” Western liberals like to

make fun of people they claim are “climate deniers” when it comes to “global warming.” They are guilty of denying the intentions of Islamists. As McCarthy warned his Hillsdale audience, “stubbornly unwilling to deal with the reality of Islam, our leaders have constructed an Islam of their very own.” This is why the infiltration is so eﬀective in Europe and increasingly in the U.S. It is why, as The Daily Caller reports, “The United States issues twice as many green cards to migrants from Muslim-majority countries than from Europe, adding to a Middle Eastern migrant population in the country that is one of the fastest growing demographics.” There is even an Islamic University of Minnesota, run by a man who, according to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, “used a recent sermon to invoke a Hadith commonly espoused by Muslim terrorists to kill Jews for causing ‘corruption in the land.’” Still, we let them in and in too many cases lose track of where they are and what they are doing to our detriment.

Mississippians will suffer from legislative hissy fit OXFORD — How much courage does it take to do nothing? Seriously. After Gov. Phil Bryant signed the Religious Liberty Accommodations Act last week, House Speaker Philip Gunn began his statement praising the governor’s “courage.” As he continued, Gunn begged people to read the act and see for themselves that it doesn’t do anything. He’s right. The act says people won’t be punished if they break state laws that don’t exist. Wow. That’s a relief. Otherwise, the act doesn’t fix the problem of public employees or private businesses invoking their deeply held personal religious to decline to provide services to, well, those they condemn as sinners. Why? Because that’s not a problem. Yes, there was a merchant in the Jackson area who put up a “No Muslims” sign several months ago. But there hasn’t been an epidemic of gay people forcing their money into the pockets of people who don’t want it. And even if there were such an epidemic, it’s 100 percent clear any resulting litigation would be in federal court. “We would caution government oﬃcials and others that House Bill

1523 does not override federal law or constitutional rights,” said Attorney General Jim Charlie Hood. “If a or Mitchell person government Columnist official violates a federal statute or constitutional provision, House Bill 1523 will not protect that official from a federal lawsuit or from potential personal liability under federal law.” What the legislation does — and what it was meant to do — is put Mississippi on record as disagreeing with the one-vote majority in Obergefell vs. Hodges, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court last year. In simplest terms, the Equal Protection Clause says governments can’t impose different laws on different people unless there’s a public interest to be protected. It was a very narrow decision. It had nothing to do with religion, and it certainly didn’t tell churches, bakers or cabinet-makers they had to change a smidge. Yet lawmakers in Mississippi felt compelled to have a hissy fit, similar to the 2014 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which ordered that “In God We Trust” be added to the state’s official seal.

In total, 102 or Mississippi’s 154 lawmakers and the governor aﬃrmed their belief that it is OK to single out people for diﬀerent treatment if, in the view of others, they are sinners. As has been well documented, employer organizations and employers — ranging from the highly conservative Mississippi Manufacturing Association to multinationals such as Nissan and Toyota — don’t support any discrimination of any type. The greater harm is expressed silently. What’s beyond measure is a company that discretely strikes Mississippi from its expansion list. There will be no record when a top-notch math teacher in Kentucky or Texas or Michigan scans past any opening in Mississippi while looking for her first job. There will be no tally of high school, college, medical school graduates who no longer consider Mississippi a place they wish to remain. (Bryant pleads with young people to stay in Mississippi, but many solid young Christians believe shunning is a sad relic of centuries past — and will have no part of it.) Hypocrisy has never been a popular trait, and this state — deeply dependent on dollars from other American taxpayers — insists again know better. We are wiser, more prudent and

insightful, you know. We honor religion while others don’t. By what standard? Arguing the point from a biblical perspective is best done by someone else, but here’s a question: When Jesus was inviting all those people to a dinner of loaves and fishes, did he position Peter and Bartholomew to work the buﬀet line? Did he tell them to refuse service to Romans or Pharisees or anyone else they deemed unworthy? Just asking. Is turning people away the Christian approach to anything? The reporter questioning Speaker Gunn asked if he thought the Religious Liberty Accommodations Act would hurt commerce. Gunn replied that he “certainly hopes it doesn’t.” Well, he has his answer loud and clear from what he would consider good and decent people all across America. No higher moral ground has been staked out by our leaders. Instead they have erected a sign for all to see: “Mississippi: Where leaders have the courage to do nothing, and are proud of it.” (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Democrats seek to undo LGBT law Associated Press

JACKSON — More than a dozen Democratic lawmakers are calling for repeal of an incoming Mississippi law that will let workers cite religious beliefs to deny services to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. But, the Democrats are unlikely to succeed because filing a new bill this late in a legislative session requires a high margin of support in a Legislature where Republicans hold a supermajority in both chambers.

A week after Republican Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1523, Democratic Rep. Jay Hughes of Oxford said Tuesday that he will try to undo the measure before it becomes law July 1. “Our public schools in Mississippi are on life support,” Hughes said during a Capitol news conference with other Democrats. “Access to health care in Mississippi and adequate health care is on life support. Our roads and bridges are crumbling. The

economy is struggling.... And somehow we seem focused on passing a bill that will kill our economy.” Several states and cities have banned travel to Mississippi and rock singer Bryan Adams canceled a concert in the state this week to protest the bill that they say promotes discrimination. Ninety-five Mississippi authors, including John Grisham and Donna Tartt, signed a letter Monday calling for repeal.

dangerous.” One change is technology. “Things are more under a microscope,” he said. “Everybody has got a camera now.” And while situations with oﬃcers have garnered lots of national attention, technology “has helped us solve so many crimes,” he said. Hinds recently completed one term as post 1 constable for Alcorn County and did not seek reelection. Looking back through the years, he said his most memorable moments are seeing his daughter follow in the field and “when my dad stood beside me in my graduation from the police academy and then

when I was able to stand with him at my sister’s graduation from the police academy.” The 50-year-old is looking forward to using free time to visit with his five grandchildren, ride motorcycles and do some hunting. He will continue his private business, Blue Line Process Service. After three months, Hinds hopes to return to the police department on a part-time basis. And there is nowhere else he would rather serve. “We have a great relationship with the community,” he said. “The community here respects law enforcement, and law enforcement respects the community. That’s what I’m most proud of here.”

HINDS CONTINUED FROM 1A

from 14 states. Since his early days in law enforcement, he sees cultural changes as one of the biggest diﬀerences. “People ask me, ‘Are drugs the basis for most of your crimes?’ It’s not,” he said. “Family values is the basis for most of our crimes. The values in society have changed so much over the past 30 years that I’ve been doing this.” And he sees the crime as basically the same. “People say it seems more dangerous nowadays, but I don’t think it’s any more dangerous,” said Hinds. “Anytime we’re dealing with an individual that’s committed a crime, it can be

Police say woman stole from corpse ODESSA, Texas — Police have arrested a woman suspected of stealing a ring from a corpse at a Texas funeral home in an incident captured on surveillance video. Odessa police on Tuesday arrested 41-year-old Kalynn Homfeld on a charge of theft from a human corpse. Police have said the ring stolen Friday was worth about $10. Investigators didn’t immediately say what led them to Homfeld or whether the ring was recovered. Police on Monday released security video of a woman seen entering a viewing room at Sunset Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home, reaching into an open casket and fumbling to remove something from the female corpse. The suspect drove off in a car. The theft was discovered Saturday.

Man turns himself in on 1989 charge

NORWALK, Conn. — Police say a man charged with stealing a television in Connecticut 27 years ago flew from his Florida home and voluntarily turned himself in last weekend after recently learning there was a warrant out for this arrest. Police in Norwalk, Connecticut, tell The Hour newspaper that 60-year-old Randy Iannacone, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, arrived at headquarters Sunday with the letter notifying him of the warrant. Iannacone was arrested and charged with third-degree larceny. He was released with a promise to appear in court next week. The charge stemmed from the 1989 theft of a television from the Norwalk Jewish Center, where Iannacone worked as a custodian. Lieutenant Paul Resnick says it was “pretty cool” that Iannacone turned himself in.

ning for president.” He laughed when asked if he was working behind the scenes to “steal the GOP nomination away from Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.” “No, I am not,” Ryan said. “This is just amazing. It is just amazing how these things keep going. I am going to try again today to put this to bed. The answer is no, and my strong opinion is if it goes to an open convention ... the delegates should pick among the people who actually ran for president this year.”

NYC mayor, Clinton take heat over skit

NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio have come under fire over a comedy skit that some people feel was racially insensitive. Clinton, just days before the crucial New York primary, was a surprise guest during the mayor’s performance at the annual Inner Circle show in Manhattan on Saturday night, a blacktie charity gala that is the city’s answer to the White House Correspondents Dinner. Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner, took the stage to appleause and, in a scripted scene, teased de Blasio, a fellow Democrat who managed her 2000 Senate campaign, for taking so long to endorse her presidential bid. “Sorry Hillary,” de Blasio replied, “I was running on ‘CP time.’” At first, that seemed to be a reference to a racial stereotype, “colored people time.” Leslie Odom Jr., a black actor who plays Aaron Burr in the Broadway smash “Hamilton” was also on the stage and pretended to be offended. “I don’t like jokes like that, Bill,” Odom said. But then Clinton interjected: “‘Cautious politi-

cian time,’” she said. “I’ve been there.” Many in the room where it happened, which was filled with New York politicians, power brokers and reporters, laughed at the joke. But it soon made its way around social media and drew some scornful media coverage.

Roof defense seeks shooting trial delay CHARLESTON, S.C. — The defense is asking for a delay in the state death-penalty trial of a man charged with gunning down nine black parishioners during a Bible study inside a Charleston church last year. Dylann Roof’s attorneys argue in court petitions filed last Thursday that substantial preparation and investigation work remain to be done and say if the trial begins on July 11 as is now scheduled, it would deny Roof an adequate defense. The filings don’t go into detail, saying some of the reasons are contained in client-attorney and attorney work material presented to the court under seal. A hearing is set Wednesday on the request to delay the trial. Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson set the trial date last summer on July 16, giving both the defense and prosecution just under a year to prepare. Roof faces multiple charges, including nine counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder stemming from the June 17, 2015 shootings at the historic Emanuel AME Church. A pool of 600 potential jurors has been asked to report to the court on June 28. Following an initial weeding-out process, lawyers are expected to start questioning individual potential jurors by July 11.

Speaker Ryan rules out presidential bid

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan is definitively ruling out a bid for president this year, telling the GOP, “Count me out.” In a statement at the Republican National Committee, Ryan said if the party can’t choose a nominee on the first ballot, the eventual choice should only be a candidate who participated in the primaries. Ryan has faced persistent speculation that he could emerge as the GOP nominee from a contested Republican convention. The Wisconsin Republican told reporters: “I simply believe that if you want to be the nominee — to be the president — you should actually run for it.” Earlier in the day, Ryan said in an interview on WISN radio in Milwaukee that there was no scenario under which he would seek the Republican nomination. Ryan said he called the news conference to “categorically” rule himself out as a candidate. “I will not allow my name to be placed in nomination,” Ryan said. “And it will not be me. I don’t know how I can be clearer than that. ... It should be someone who actually wants to be president or is run-

Bill on bail bonds heads to governor JACKSON — A bill that would increase state regulation of bail bond companies is heading to Gov. Phil Bryant. Bail bond agents would have to get licensed by the Mississippi Department of Insurance under Senate Bill 2664. The bill would also establish a registry of licensed bail agents and a database to keep track of bonds that have been paid. The Mississippi Senate sent the bill to Bryant for final approval or veto Tuesday.

Hood: Claims false in unsealed lawsuit

JACKSON — Mississippi’s attorney general says allegations in a recently unsealed lawsuit that accused his office of participating in a kickback scheme with a New York firm were false. The now-settled 2014 lawsuit filed in New York federal court said that Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi selected the firm, Bernstein, Litowitz, Berger and Grossman LLP, as counsel in a securities lawsuit, and in exchange, attorneys with connections to attorney general’s office employees received legal fees for unnecessary work, reported the ClarionLedger. Before New York attorney Bruce Bernstein filed his lawsuit regarding compensation in a case involving PERS, Special Assistant Attorney General George Nevill advised Bernstein

and his counsel that the litigation would violate the firm’s confidentiality with PERS and that the state has a policy to use local firms. “For Bruce to make such claims in public court papers for his personal profit over an employment dispute could subject Mississippi and its agency MPERS in a negative light,” Neville said.

Utah deli protests new Mississippi law

SALT LAKE CITY — A Salt Lake City restaurant is banning food associated with Mississippi to protest the state’s new law allowing businesses to refuse service to gay customers. KUTV-TV reports that Cucina has vowed to no longer serve sweet potatoes, Mississippi’s state food; American alligator, Mississippi’s state reptile; white tail deer, the state mammal; or large-mouth bass, the state fish. Deli owner Dean Pierose III acknowledges that most of the exotic foods were not on the menu to begin with. He says their exclusion is part of a tongue-in-cheek protest of a serious issue. The restaurant is also banning magnolias and will escort anyone caught performing Mississippi’s state dance, clogging, off the property.

Feds seize ‘buckets’ of meth during bust

PEARLINGTON — Authorities say federal agents seized three 5-gallon buckets of liquid methamphetamine dur-

ing a raid of a Mississippi home and two pounds of crystal meth while foiling a drug deal at a Gulfport gas station. The Sun Herald reports the undercover narcotics operation happened Friday during spring break weekend. As a result of the drug busts, agents arrested three people on federal charges of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of meth. Forty-year-old Roy Tatum, of Palestine, Texas, 39-year-old Chiquita Acker, of Pearlington, Mississippi, and 36-yearold Tosh Humphrey of Slidell, Louisiana, are being held in the Harrison County jail.

Environmentalists fight proposed dams

JACKSON — Environmental groups are calling on a federal agency to reject a potential damconstruction project near the Pascagoula River in southeast Mississippi. The Army Corps of Engineers is considering a proposal by the George County Board of Supervisors to build dams on two of the Pascagoula’s tributaries — Big Cedar Creek and Little Cedar Creek. The project, which would make artificial reservoirs out of the creeks, is also backed by the Pat Harrison Waterway District, a state agency that manages water systems in the Pascagoula River Basin in southeastern Mississippi. The Pascagoula River is part of the basin and runs through George and Jackson counties before dumping into the Gulf of Mexico.

Breadstick anyone? Olive Garden is hoping its breadsticks are back in style. The Italian food chain last week reported a sales increase of 4.9 percent at established locations, marking the sixth straight quarter of growth. The improved performance comes after activist investor Starboard Value staged a takeover of parent company Darden Restaurants in late 2014. One of Starboard’s criticisms had focused on the chain’s breadsticks, which come free with any meal. Starboard said Olive Garden was being reckless by putting too

many breadsticks on the table at a time, which led to waste. It also compared them to hot dog buns. A representative for Olive Garden said the chain had already been working on improving cooking techniques and training for doling out the right number of breadsticks in the summer before Starboard’s takeover. More recently, Olive Garden says it added dishes to both its lunch and dinner menus for people looking for “everyday value.” It is also pushing to grow takeout and catering orders. Darden owns several other chains, but Olive Garden is by far its largest, with more than 840 locations.

Olive Garden’s sales at established locations 6%

Carbo-loading Olive Garden’s sales have been showing improvement since activist investor Starboard Value took over.

The report is a snapshot of business conditions in each of the Fed’s 12 regional bank districts. March’s Beige Book showed that the economy was expanding in most of the country, but also indicated that some sectors of the economy were being hurt by falling oil prices and the strong dollar.
