County, city schools see funding drop

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County and Corinth schools will both see a drop in state funding, according to preliminary numbers released ahead of Gov. Phil Bryant’s final approval.

The Mississippi Parents’ Cam-

paign made available the projected Mississippi Adequate Education Program funding amount each school district should be allocated for the upcoming 2018 fiscal year. The numbers were released by the organization late Tuesday.

The Alcorn School District will

see a $478,000 difference from what the county received in 2017.

The district is projected to receive $15,344,920, more than $1.4 million below full funding.

The Corinth School District’s difference from 2017 is projected at a loss of $760,000. The city school system is projected to get

$11,616,647, more than $1.1 million shy of being fully funded.

The K-12 public education funding appropriation bill — House Bill 1502 — is expected to be signed and approved by Bryant on April 20.

The C.A.R.E. Community Foundation is giving city residential property owners another opportunity to get better sidewalks.

Applications may be submitted to the foundation now for help in replacing sidewalks. The initiative will provide 60 percent of the total job cost for replacement of up to 100 feet, but not less than 40 feet, of sidewalk repair.

The foundation believes it is a great opportunity for residents to make needed and overdue repairs.

Since it began in 2010, the program has repaired more than 7,000 feet of sidewalks.

“Not only has it contributed to a better all-around appearance,” said CARE board member Joe Vann, “but the people who walk in the neighborhoods like to walk on those sidewalks because they don’t have to worry about tripping.”

And the homeowner has the opportunity to get new, smooth sidewalks at a reasonable cost, he said.

The foundation reminds property owners that sidewalk maintenance, by city ordinance, is the sole responsibility of the homeowner.

To be considered, sidewalks must be residential and show

Biggersville Elementary School Principal Brian Johnson updated the Alcorn School District Board of Education on the status of improving student learning.

The sky’s the limit for administrator Brian Johnson.

The Biggersville Elementary School principal has an ultimate goal of becoming a “A” rated school sooner than later.

Currently rated as a “C” school by the Mississippi Department of Education, Johnson and his staff are making changes at the small school they hope will produce big results.

“Our goal is to improve student learning in all subjects and improve our outcome on state assessments,” said Johnson earlier this week during a Alcorn School District Board of Education meeting. “We have increased our focus on analyzing student data, identifying

grade, according to the principal. Another two interventionists work in classrooms daily to reinforce concepts being taught and working in small groups with struggling students.

BES has also began providing intervention to the lowest preforming students on the STAR reading and STAR math monthly assessments.

Teacher data walls are now part of every classroom, as well.

“Most of these actually hang outside each classroom door so everyone can see exactly where each student is,” said Johnson.

“There are no student names, but the wall shows the progress each student makes throughout the year.”

Biggersville’s 247 students – including 19 pre-k children – are benefiting from literacy coaches sent to the pre-k through sixth grade school by MDE. “The assigned literacy coaches have helped improve literacy instruction and the outcomes for kindergarten through third grade students,” said Johnson.

The reverend went on to say that instead of an audience sitting to watch, the crowd becomes part of the story and walks with the children from scene to scene. Any child who shows up to the program is invited to put on a costume (or not) and participate as one of Jesus’ disciples and friends.

The scenes are held together by traditional songs like, “I have decided to follow Jesus” and “Were you there when they crucified my Lord.”

What if a child could witness the arrest of Jesus and experience what happened after in an ageappropriate manner as if they were in the story themselves?

That is exactly what children are able to do during the interactive Children’s Good Friday Program to be held at 4 p.m. Friday at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

“The children actually get to wave palms and break bread ... it is a serious and somber program, but not frightening,” said the Rev. Ann Fraser, Priest at St. Paul’s.

The Rev. Fraser said the church has offered the Good Friday Children’s Program for eight years as an experiential way children can enter the story of the arrest, suffering and death of Jesus.

Children don costumes

Children wave palms at the interactive Good Friday Children’s Program at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

This year, the ser vice will be held at 4 p.m. Friday. and play the parts of Jesus, Herod, Pontius Pilate, Peter, and others,

while teenagers assist and narrate.

ister Gail Vaughn leads the singing, and the Rev. Fraser directs the program (often in costume).

Many volunteers pitch in to gather props, shepherd children, and help the story come to life.

The script is adapted from one written by the Rev. Brenda Husson and used for years at St. James’ Church in Manhattan. It is designed to help children engage with the story using all their senses, and to learn about the suffering and death of Jesus in a way that is ageappropriate — teaching and encouraging exploration rather than frightening.

There will be a period for questions at the close of the program so children and adults can wonder aloud together.

On Easter Sunday, the same wooden cross used for the play is on display, and children are invited

to put fresh flowers on it as a sign of the new life that emerges on Easter.

Visitors are welcome at the Children’s Good Friday Program.

St. Paul’s is located at the corner of Highway 2/350 and North Shiloh Road, and can be found at www.facebook.com/ StPaulsCorinth.

The church’s other Easter service offerings are: A Maundy Thursday service will be held with partner churches Mt. Moriah and First United Methodist Churches for the Seventh year. The service will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Mt. Moriah, with First UMC’s the Rev. Roger Shock preaching.

A Good Friday liturgy will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

Easter Sunday service will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, followed by refreshments and an egg hunt.

Judge cuts fine for man convicted in bribery case Mississippi ethics law will restrict use of campaign money

BY JEFF AMY

Associated Press

Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi politicians will face new limits next year on how they can use campaign cash, under an ethics law the Legislature passed after media investigations revealed spending on everything from mortgage payments to cowboy boots.

Gov. Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2689 on Tuesday, and it becomes law Jan. 1.

The new law bans legislators and other elected o cials from spending the money for any noncampaign purpose, and enumerates a list of forbidden expenditures, including housing expenses, funerals, clothing, automobiles, tuition, personal travel and undocumented loans.

The proposal came after The Associated Press and The Clarion-Ledger analyzed the campaign cash reports of state politicians last year. The AP review found as many as 25 o cials may have pocketed more than

$1,000 when they left o ce, and at least five of them cashed out more than $50,000 from campaign accounts.

Before this law, Mississippi was one of only five states that still allowed elected o cials to pocket campaign money for personal use during or after their careers, so this spending has been legal, assuming the politicians paid income taxes on cash they took for personal use.

But ethics experts say the practice makes campaign contributions perilously close to bribes.

A bill that would have imposed limits died in the House last year after some top Republicans questioned it. This year, House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, made changes a priority.

Candidates closing campaign committees will be required to return the money to donors or give it to another political committee or candidate, to a nonprofit group, or to the state.

GROWING GOOD GARDENS

Spring is here! The grass is green and growing. Flowers are blooming. Birds are singing. Bees are buzzing, and folks are making ready their garden plots. In recent years gardening has regained its popularity, and folks are once again enjoying fresh, home – grown fruits and vegetables. What can we learn about spiritual things as we think about growing good gardens?

1. Prepare the soil. In his parable about a sower, Jesus used soil to illustrate the different ways people respond to the gospel message, (Matthew 13 and Luke 8) and that the ability of the word of God to bring forth fruit is dependent on the condition of one’s heart. It is said of Ezra the scribe that he “prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.”

(Ezra 7:10) True in the garden and in our lives!

2. Plant good seed. At the creation God set in place certain “natural laws”. One is that seed produces after its kind. (Genesis 1:11) If we want squash in our garden, we plant squash seed; if we want corn, we plant corn seed, etc. Imagine the surprise of our neighbor who wanted a large cantaloupe patch, when he realized he had planted cucumber seed! Pickles anyone?! Paul said to the Galatians, “”Whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7) True in the garden and in our lives!

3. Get rid of the weeds. Not our favorite part of gardening is it?

Hoeing, tilling, bending over frequently to pull up grass and weeds, is a never ending part of gardening, but we do it because they are thieves of nutrients and moisture needed by the crop. The same is true in our lives. Jesus talked about the cares and riches and pleasure of this life that: ”choke the message “ and we “bear no fruit” (Matthew 13:22) See also the illustration in Hebrews 6:7,8.

True in the garden and in our lives!

4. Enjoy the harvest! That first fried squash (with onions), sliced tomatoes, green beans, sweet corn, and other such things, serve to remind us why we put in the “sweat equity” have that garden. Paul said in Galatians 6:9: “And let us be not weary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.” True in the garden and in our lives!

We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

JACKSON — A businessman who bribed Mississippi’s former prisons chief will only have to pay a $20,000 fine, not the $150,000 originally imposed, after he testified Wednesday that his debts outweigh his assets.

U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate lowered the amount Wednesday after hearing evidence that Cecil McCrory of Brandon doesn’t have enough money to pay the higher amount.

“His financial situation indeed has changed,” Wingate said.

Instead of his original ruling calling for McCrory to pay the whole

amount within six months, Wingate ruled that McCrory should start making fine payments while he is in prison, and be required to pay at least $150 a month once he is released.

Federal prosecutors did not oppose the change.

The former state lawmaker was sentenced in February to serve 8½ years in prison, forfeit $1.7 million in assets and pay the fine. McCrory pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy, admitting he’d bribed former Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps and helped Epps launder dirty money.

McCrory came to sentencing with a $1.1 million forfeiture check, but lawyer Carlos Tanner said that

check bounced, and McCrory had to later come back with a check for $1.07 million.

The lawyer said the presentencing report prepared for Wingate did not reflect that McCrory’s assets would be greatly diminished after the forfeiture.

“He simply does not have the funds to pay it,” Tanner said.

McCrory testified Wednesday that his has $40,000 in assets, but owes $72,500 on a bank loan, meaning his debts outweigh his assets by $32,500. That’s in part because ownership of McCrory’s house was transferred in 2012 to a legal trust that McCrory can’t benefit from.

not take place until after MAEP funding has been approved and signed by the governor.

The board has a special called meeting scheduled for April 24 to discuss hires.

The 2017 legislative session began in January with hopes that the 20-year-old MAEP funding formula would be rewritten possibly in time for school district’s 2018 fiscal year.

But after little debate and no actual proposal being released, lawmakers

moved forward on the bill to fund public education using MAEP. Bryant could include a proposed rewrite of MAEP when lawmakers meet back at the Capitol to finalize several other state budgets.

The special session will take place before July 1, but the governor has still not released an exact date or an agenda for the session. The possible proposed MAEP rewrite would not take affect until at least the 2018-19 school year.

FUNDING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Alcorn County schools have lost more than $15 million since 2009, the last time MAEP was fully funded. Corinth schools have also had a shortfall of more than $10 million in state funding over the last nine years.

Johnson said he has sent home a parent reading plan four times this year for kindergarten through fourth grade students. It provides strategies to parents who will help their children improve in reading.

“We’re also working toward increasing our 60-minute daily reading block to 90 to 100 minutes, which is a MDE recommendation,” added the educator. “Hopefully we can adjust our schedules to meet that recommendation for next school year.”

Teacher training has improved with seven out of eight kindergarten throughout third grade teachers receiving recommended MDE training.

Johnson said the eighth

teacher will complete training next year.

“We’re also working toward improving access to technology for students at BES,” said the administrator. “Of course, my goal is for each K-4 student to have their own device, but that’s just a wish list item right now.”

He said all pre-k and kindergarten classrooms have interactive TVs and all other classrooms in grades 1-6 have SMARTboards. The school’s computer lab has 27 computers, while the library has 10.

“Each classroom has a minimum of three computers and sixth grade shares 25 laptops with the high school,” added Johnson. “This means every student throughout the day has access to a computer.”

The district ranked 112th out of 115 in the state for funding.

“But we were able to do some pretty neat work by leveraging the limited resources we had and focusing that on children,” he said.

All of the district’s students, kindergarten through 12th grade, now have their own electronic devices.

“I’ve got a son who’s

16 years old, and he’s never had a textbook,” said Edwards.

He believes there is a moral imperative for schools to move in this direction.

“I think when students are using resources in school that they see connected to their future, that’s the definition of relevance,” he said.

Edwards had high praise for Childress’ efforts and “the great work going on here in Corinth.”

Man found shot in local cemetery; coroner rules self-inflicted wound Staff Reports

THEO — Cause of death of a man found shot to death in an Alcorn County cemetery has been ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Alcorn County Coroner Jay Jones made the ruling Wednesday after responding to the scene at Spence Cemetery off U.S. 72 West near Theo.

Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell said deputies were summoned to

the cemetery about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday where a family member reported a man was trying to hurt himself in the cemetery.

Deputies arrived to find a man shot in the chest area, said the sheriff.

Magnolia EMS responded and the coroner was called, he said.

Jones told the Daily Corinthian the shooting victim was pronounced dead at the scene, where he made the ruling.

Across the Region McNairy County Man faces sexual battery charges SELMER, Tenn. — A 31-yearold Selmer man has been charged with attempted aggravated sexual battery for alleged contact involving a family member as a victim.

Nicholas Dewayne Wolfe, of 785 Gann Road, is also charged with four counts of assault, two counts of false imprisonment, and two counts of sexual battery, according to a press release from Lt. Brad Johnson of the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department.

Wolfe was portraying a character (Jeepers Creepers) in the Purdy Mansion Haunted House when the alleged battery took place last October. Deputy Ricky Finley was told by one of the juvenile’s father that Wolfe assaulted the juveniles on a bus.

The overseer of the haunted house told the deputy Wolfe admitted to grabbing the juveniles’ ankles, but that was all.

Two of the juveniles were Adamsville High students and two were McNairy Central students.

Johnson does not believe the four juveniles knew each prior to that night of the ordeal.

The owner of the haunted house told the juveniles that Wolfe would be fired and he refunded their admission fees.

The latest incident involving Wolfe resulted in his arrest for the attempted aggravated sexual battery of a juvenile family member. He is now being held in McNairy County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He was out on a $2,500 bond and was awaiting a hearing from the October charges.

Wolfe is accused of touching the juvenile in a private area.

The mother of the victim and the child have moved outside of McNairy County. Wolfe and the mother have filed for divorce.

A preliminary hearing for Wolfe has been set for April 20.

would add a 2 percent additional charge on motels and hotels and on food purchased in restaurants. The bill requires the funds generated by the tax to be used “to promote tourism and parks and recreation in the city.”

City aldermen will consider the adoption of a resolution at their next meeting setting a referendum on the bill for the June 6 municipal general election and outlining how funds from the tax are to be spent, said Mayor Derrick Blythe.

Sixty percent of those voting in the election must vote in favor of the tax for it to take effect.

Funds from the tax must be kept separate from the city’s general fund and cannot be spent on payment of any legal fees or salaries.

The bill also requires all records of revenue and expenditures from the funds generated by the tax to be audited each year by an independent certified public accountant other than the one who audits the city’s general fund. The report of the audit must be provided to the city as well as to each member of the state House of Representatives and Senate representing the city.

Tupelo

Five women charged with house, car arson TUPELO — Five women have been arrested and charged with arson in connection with a March 26 fire on Hays Drive.

According to the Daily Journal, the women are accused of setting fire to a 2013 Hyundai Sonata that was parked under a carport at 120 Hays Drive, just off Green Tee Road and just south of the Tupelo city limits. Neighbors spotted the fire and alerted the family inside the house around 2:30 a.m.

Terriuna Tallie, 18, of 851 McNeece Street Tupelo; and India Wright, 21, of 1252 Red Circle, Tupelo; were arrested April 7. Alvalon McGee, 22, of Tupelo, was arrested Monday morning. Makia Beene, 20 of Baldwyn; and Adreona Hair, 20, of Tupelo, were arrested Tuesday afternoon.

All three women are charged with first degree arson and third degree arson. Tallie has an additional conspiracy charge and McGee has a malicious mischief charge. Monday afternoon, Justice Court Judge Chuck Hopkins set bond for Tallie and Wright at $110,000 and $100,000, respectively.

McGee’s bond was set at $106,000 Tuesday.

Beene and Hair are expected to have their initial court appearances Wednesday.

“This goes back to an ongoing feud that has been going on for years,” Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said. “There was a home invasion years ago in Lee County and some of these suspects went to the state penitentiary. They were recently released and are retaliating against the people who testified against them.

“They dreamed up this idea of a fire. They talked about and these two (Tallie and Wright) even went and bought some of the items needed.”

First degree arson covers the burning of a house or outbuilding. Conviction carries 5-20 years in prison and restitution of up to triple the amount of

damages.

Third degree arson covers the burning of personal property and carries a sentence of 1-3 years in prison.

Jackson

Woman charged after walking into traffic JACKSON, Tenn. — Police have charged a woman with public intoxication after they say an officer saw her walking in traffic and nearly being hit by a vehicle, reported WBBJ. Tocia Cobb was arrested around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of the 45 Bypass and Old Hickory Boulevard, according to an affidavit.

An officer reportedly saw her walking into oncoming traffic at the intersection and nearly get hit by a vehicle. Police say she continued to walk into traffic until they approached her.

Cobb had a strong odor of alcohol and admitted to drinking, according to an affidavit.

Muscle Shoals

Parks and recreation director suspended MUSCLE SHOALS — The Muscle Shoals Parks and Recreation Director will be suspended for 21 days without pay for directing city employees to build a batting cage on private property, reported the TimesDaily.

Mayor David Bradford said he met with Parks and Recreation Director Rusty Wheeles on Monday afternoon to discuss the issue. The suspension will begin Saturday.

Bradford said city resources and employees were used in March to build the batting cage on property in Wynchase subdivision. The project was completed while Bradford was in Washington, D.C. Wynchase subdivision is located off Sixth Street, west of the Publix shopping center.

Alabama ethics laws prohibit public officials and public employees from using their positions for the personal gain for themselves or for family members unless the gain is authorized by law.

City Clerk Ricky Williams said the city has been paid for $2,513.03 in materials and $554.02 for the labor expended on the unauthorized project.

The labor rate was based on the hourly pay rate of the supervisor and laborer that performed the work with Federal Insurance Contributions Act and retirement match added in.

Corinth, Miss.

BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCCANN Columnists

Steve Bannon is the core of the Trump White House, the keeper of the flame. He understands Donald the same way that Drew Bundini Brown grasped the essence of Muhammad Ali. And when Brown wrote the famous lines: “Float like a butterfly; sting like a bee,” he did as much to cement Ali’s legacy as the iconic photo of him standing over a flattened Sonny Liston.

Bannon takes Trump’s instincts and makes them politically marketable and governmentally relevant. You look at Rex Tillerson, James Mattis, H. R. McMaster, Jared Kushner and Reince Priebus. You see a recycling of the types that made the Bushes bland and blend in. Then you look at Bannon, the Michael Moore of the right.

He is what’s different. He is what makes the Trump administration unique and attractive to the blue-collar voters who put them in office. He is Donald Trump’s muse. Take him out of the equation, remove him from the White House mix and you will have a frustrated Donald Trump, unsure how to translate his instincts into rhetoric or into policy.

The poetry of the Trump government will be over and replaced by dull, prosaic boilerplate language and timid achievements.

Don’t take the spark plug out of the car.

The Trump campaign was a mess before Bannon showed up. And it would expire if he left.

Can’t Bannon advise from afar? Send in memo? Emails? Tweets?

The White House can’t work that way.

Either you are immersed in all of the legal, political, financial and bureaucratic ins and outs of policy or you might as well keep your advice to yourself. No matter how attractive the dress you design, if you are on the outside, it won’t fit when the administration tries it on.

To be creative and lend life and originality to a presidency, you have to be at the president’s side as he runs the traps, navigates the bureaucrats, answers the lawyers, faces down the Joint Chiefs, and looks through his experts to find his own voice and the path to change.

Donald Trump needs Steve Bannon far more than Bush II needed Karl Rove or Ronald Reagan needed Michael Deaver or Richard Nixon needed H.R. Haldeman. These advisors were the first among their kind -- the best political strategist, the top image maker, the ultimate bureaucratic infighter.

But Bannon is sui generis. One of a kind.

You don’t replace men like Bannon. Once you lose them, you lose a part of your own soul and spirit.

Mr. President: Keep Steve

Rest and let the rest of the world go by I’ll have to say the Obamas seem to be having a romping good time in the immediate post-presidency phase of their lives.

Former President Barack Obama is wearing his baseball cap backward like a wild and crazy guy, which makes him look younger, and Michelle has abandoned her perfectly coiffed convention bob for a much more natural look.

The couple is beaming whenever you see photographs, whether snapped on an exotic island or an ordinary walk in the park.

It has to be an amazing sensation to be leading the Free World one second, and the next to be just another Joe, an ordinary citizen. In the blink of an eye, someone else’s hand is on the big Bible and you’ve left all the heavy-lifting behind.

Except for the pesky Secret Service detail, you quite possibly can live a normal life again. Harry Truman did.

lar, could have had a lot more fun after leaving the White H o u s e .

They could Rheta have lived Johnson in France, for instance, Columnist bidding “adieu” to a country that hasn’t always embraced their public service, plus getting good health care in the bargain.

There might have been post-presidential hobbies.

Something other than politics. They were still young at the time and could have taken up photography or wind-surfing.

The W famously turned to painting when he was released from presidential prison. From what I’ve seen of his work, he’s at least as good an artist as was President Eisenhower, who had a Thomas Kinkade bent. Lots of thatched roofs and red barns.

Saint Jimmy Carter, of course, has set the bar

high for post-presidential philanthropy. He has more energy than a new kitten, and higher morals than the Pope’s mother. When he’s not building houses, he’s writing poetry or memoirs. And there’s his expert wood-working. Idle hands and all that.

I have suggestions for all former top guns if they come up short of fun things to do. Forget memoirs and presidential libraries. Get off the speech circuit unless you need the money; speeches are never much fun for the speaker.

Hang out at the beach.

Fish like Grover Cleveland. Use your sway to get good tickets for the World Series and the Masters. Invite Willie Nelson to perform at your next birthday party. Presidents come and go; Willie is forever.

Travel. By all means, travel. After his presidency, Millard Fillmore stayed in Europe for a year.

At the end of the long airplane ride there will be real entertainment, not state dinners with weird

You might even travel unrecognized. That will take more than wearing your cap backward.

Invest in art and other cool stuff. Go on a shopping spree and buy clothes you wouldn’t have worn as Head Honcho in Chief, Tshirts that say things like “I Fought the Lawn, and the Lawn Won.” For that matter, cut your own grass.

Throw away your TV. Pay no attention to current events. Don’t answer the telephone, much less carry one around with you. Get unplugged, as they say.

Adopt a pound dog. Now that you’re not constantly on camera, you can foster as many mutts as you want and not worry about their publicity potential. Nothing says post-presidency like a part schnauzer, part bloodhound.

More freedom not good for politicians When President Trump recently met with the Congressional Black Caucus leadership, they presented him with their new report, “We Have A Lot To Lose.”

It’s their assessment on fixing the problems in black America.

The title plays off of Trump’s message when he was seeking black support during the presidential campaign -- “What do you have to lose?”

Trump’s point was that after a half-century of government programs that have failed blacks, doesn’t it make sense to try something new?

Suppose I said that physical laws, such as the law of gravity, are different for whites and blacks. You would laugh at me.

How about economic laws? Are they different for whites and blacks? Of course not. They are laws that apply to human behavior.

It is clear to me that freedom and capitalism are the principles that made America a rich and powerful nation. And it is not unique to America. Plenty of studies show that for all the nations of the world, those that are free, that allow capitalism to operate in their econo-

mies, are the most prosperous.

So when I say, as I have been saying for Star the last 20Parker plus years, that lack of Columnist freedom and capitalism is what is holding back black Americans, you would think black leaders would want to listen. But they have no interest.

Black politicians want us to believe that the economic laws that work for whites don’t apply to blacks. They want us to believe that politics and government will make black lives better instead.

Some $22 trillion dollars have been spent on antipoverty programs without making a dent in the black poverty rate, and with gaps between black and white median household income and wealth continuing to increase.

Just since 1987, the gap in median household income between blacks and whites increased by more than $10,000.

According to the Pew Research Center, black household net worth, adjusted

for inflation, was lower in 2011 ($6,446) than in 1984 ($7,150).

When Donald Trump asked blacks, “What do you have to lose?” he was channeling Albert Einstein who defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

After 50 years of black lives dominated by government programs that have not achieved their objectives, isn’t it time to try something new? Maybe freedom and capitalism.

What do you have to lose?

This was Trump’s point.

However with more freedom and capitalism, black politicians (SET ITAL) do (END ITAL) have something to lose. Power. So despite the benefits that more freedom and capitalism will bring to black Americans, black politicians don’t want to hear about it.

The CBC report’s introduction totally misses Trump’s point that, after years of failure, it’s logical to try a new way. Rather, the CBC twists Trump’s words to mean, “African Americans are so destitute that we have no reason to fear a Trump administration.”

The report then ticks off for some 100-plus pages all

the same failed ideas of the last half-century -- government, spending, welfare.

Everything that has failed so dismally and helped destroy the most important institution in black life -the black family.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is hard at work, as he promised, to develop new approaches, helping black Americans with more opportunity of what works for everyone -- more freedom and more capitalism.

My organization, CURE, is involved in providing input on this with ideas such as more freedom in education through parental choice, lower taxes and regulation to encourage more black entrepreneurship and business investment in urban areas, expanded opportunities for personal savings, and, of course, policies to strengthen black families and churches.

It’s time to bring freedom and capitalism to black America. The only ones who have something to lose are power-loving black politicians.

Experts: Police on airliner had other options

BY TAMMY WEBBER Associated Press

CHICAGO — Airport police o cers called to remove a passenger who refused to leave a United Express flight essentially walked into what law enforcement experts say was a no-win situation: enforcing a business decision by a private company.

But if the passenger posed no threat and was not being disruptive, o cers almost certainly could have tried an approach other than dragging him out of his seat and down the aisle, including simply telling the airline to resolve the situation itself, experts said.

Cellphone video of the bloodied passenger, 69-year-old David Dao of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, has become a public-relations nightmare for United and led to the suspension of three police o cers who worked for the Chicago Department of Aviation.

The video also underscores

a growing dilemma: From airlines to schools, police are called to deal with situations that in the past might have been handled without them, sometimes leading o cers to respond with force far beyond the provocation.

“Police have an innate bias for action, but there are times that it’s not in their best interest or that of their agency to get involved in an issue that requires you to use a high level of force,” said Jim Bueermann, president of the Police Foundation, a Washington D.C.-based research group, and former police chief in Redlands, California.

“You have to ask whether ... you really needed to use force when doing the airline’s bidding.”

In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired Wednesday, the chief executive of United Airlines said the carrier will no longer ask police to remove passengers from full flights.

After passengers were already seated on the full flight, United

announced that four people needed to get off to make room for employees of a partner airline. When nobody accepted the airline’s offer of $800 to relinquish a seat, the airline chose four passengers at random. All but Dao agreed to leave.

It’s unclear what police were told by the airline about the situation. Screaming can be heard on the videos as Dao is dragged from his window seat and across the armrest, but he is not seen fighting with the o cers.

He appears relatively passive while being dragged. Later he’s seen standing in the aisle saying quietly, “I want to go home, I want to go home.”

But once police were aboard the plane, it would have been di cult to walk away, especially if they did not know why the passenger was asked to leave, said Kevin Murphy, executive director of the Airport Law Enforcement Agencies Network.

“Once you’re there, it becomes tough to disengage. You

have an obligation,” Murphy said. “If someone is saying they’re staying no matter what the property owner says, you have to wonder why they want to try so hard,” to stay ... “Is there something else going on?”

But police o cers should try to find out what they are going into and to defuse the situation, if possible, experts said.

O cers with the Los Angeles Airport Police do not get involved in civil matters such as business disputes between airlines and passengers. They have sometimes refused airlines’ requests to board planes, said spokesman and police officer Rob Pedregon.

“We don’t just fly into action when someone calls us,” he said. O cers will “basically find out the whole situation, why we’re here, get the background and then decide if it’s within our legal authority. We wouldn’t get (someone) off just because the airline wants them off. If a law is broken, then we

will take action.”

The Chicago Department of Aviation swiftly put the o cer who removed Dao on leave, saying he had violated standard procedures and that the agency would not “tolerate that kind of action.” Two more o cers were suspended Wednesday. O cials have refused to say what procedures should have been followed.

The agency also said that its o cers, who are not part of the Chicago Police Department, have “limited authority to make an arrest.”

O cers could have asked themselves whether the airline had an option to reconsider its actions, said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a group that has called for greater restraint from police o cers.

But the bottom line, he said, is that the airline put the police officers in a di cult situation by expecting them “to solve an issue that they had created.”

Trump: U.S.-Russia relations St. Louis sues NFL over Rams’ exit may be at ‘all-time low’ point

BY JIM SALTER Associated Press

BY VIVIAN SALAMA AND JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Laying bare deep and dangerous divisions on Syria and other issues, President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that U.S. relations with Russia “may be at an all-time low.”

His top diplomat offered a similarly grim assessment from the other side of the globe after meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

“Right now we’re not getting along with Russia at all,” Trump said flatly during a White House news conference. It was stark evidence that the president is moving ever further from his campaign promises to establish better ties with Moscow.

Only weeks ago, it appeared that Trump, who praised Putin throughout the U.S. election campaign, was poised for a potentially historic rapprochement with Russia.

But any such expectations have crashed into reality amid the nasty backand-forth over Syria and ongoing U.S. investigations into Russia’s alleged interference in America’s U.S. presidential election.

“It’d be a fantastic thing if we got along with Putin and if we got along with Russia,” Trump said. But he clearly wasn’t counting on it.

“That could happen, and it may not happen,” he said. “It may be just the opposite.”

Not long before Trump spoke in Washington, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson struck a similar tone after an almost twohour meeting with Putin, saying the two countries had reached a “low point” in relations.

Trump, who last week ordered airstrikes on a Syrian air base in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack, was asked Wednesday if Syria could have launched the attack without Russia’s knowledge.

Trump said it was “certainly possible” though “probably unlikely.”

The newly hardened

view of Moscow comes as the president has tried to shake suspicions about the motives behind his campaign calls for warmer relations.

As the FBI and multiple congressional committees investigate possible collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign, the president and his aides can now point to his hard-line stance on Assad as evidence he’s willing to stand up to Putin.

More than 80 people were killed in what the U.S. has described as a nerve gas attack that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces undoubtedly carried out. Russia says rebels were responsible for whatever chemical agent was used, which the Trump administration calls a disinformation campaign.

Not long before Trump spoke, Russia vetoed a Western-backed U.N. resolution that would have condemned the chemical weapons attack and demanded a speedy investigation.

The dim view of U.S.Russian ties from both Trump and Tillerson reflected the former Cold War foes’ inability to forge better relations, as Trump until recently has advocated.

Allegations of collusion between Russian o cials and Trump campaign associates also have weakened Trump’s ability to make concessions to Russia in any agreement, lest he be accused of rewarding bad behavior. Russia wants the U.S. to eliminate sanctions on Moscow related to its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and support for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Until the chemical attack, the Trump administration had sought to step back from the U.S. position that Assad should leave power. But Tillerson repeated the administration’s new belief that “the reign of the Assad family is coming to an end.”

Beyond Syria, Russia’s alleged meddling in the

U.S. presidential election also hovered over what was the first face-to-face encounter between Putin and any Trump administration Cabinet member.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov blasted U.S. claims that it has “irrefutable evidence” of election interference.

“We have not seen a single fact, or even a hint of facts,” he said. “I do not know who saw them. No one showed us anything, no one said anything, although we repeatedly asked to produce the details on which these unfounded accusations lie.”

He also rejected American claims of certain evidence that Assad ordered the chemical attack.

Still, Tillerson sought to stress the positives from his meetings. He said working groups would be established to improve U.S.-Russian ties and identify problems. He said the two sides would also discuss disagreements on Syria and how to end the country’s sixyear civil war.

But such hopes appeared optimistic as the diplomats outlined their sharply diverging views on Syria. Tillerson said Syria’s government had committed more than 50 attacks using chlorine or other chemical weapons over the duration of the conflict. And he suggested that possible war crimes charges could be levied against the Syrian leader.

Russia has never publicly acknowledged any such attacks by Assad’s forces and has tried for the past 18 months to help him expand his authority in Syria.

The civil war is separate from the U.S.-led effort against the Islamic State group in the north of the country.

While the most immediate U.S.-Russian dispute concerns culpability for the chemical weapons, broader disagreements over everything from Ukraine to Russia’s support for once-fringe candidates in European elections are among other sore points.

ST. LOUIS — The city of St. Louis filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the National Football League over the Rams’ relocation to Los Angeles, alleging the league violated its own relocation guidelines and enriched itself at the expense of the community it left behind.

The move comes 15 months after the team departed. St. Louis is joined in the lawsuit by St. Louis County and the region’s sports authority. The lawsuit filed in St. Louis Circuit Court names the NFL, all 32 teams and their owners, and seeks unspecified but “extensive” damages and restitution.

The NFL says there is “no legitimate basis” for the lawsuit. A spokesman for the league, Brian McCarthy, said it worked diligently with local and state o cials in a process he calls “honest and fair.”

The Rams moved from Los Angeles to St. Louis prior to the 1995 season, lured in part by a new taxpayer-built

domed stadium. Stan Kroenke, a real estate billionaire and native of Missouri, was minority owner of the team until purchasing it outright in 2010, two years after the death of longtime majority owner Georgia Frontiere.

The suit claims that it wasn’t long afterward that Kroenke began plotting a move, despite public comments from him and team executive Kevin Demoff that the Rams hoped to remain in St. Louis for the long term.

“In the years leading up to the Rams relocation request, Rams o cials decided to move the team and confidentially determined that they would be interested in exploiting any opportunity to do so,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit notes that since St. Louis o cials weren’t aware a move was essentially a done deal, they spent millions of dollars developing plans for a new riverfront stadium project aimed at retaining the Rams.

“The Rams never intended to engage in good faith negotiations with St. Louis,” the lawsuit says.

Russia vetoes UN censure of Syria

BY EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — Russia vetoed a Westernbacked U.N. resolution Wednesday that would have condemned the reported use of chemical weapons in a town in northern Syria and demanded a speedy investigation into the attack that killed nearly 90 people.

The vote on the Security Council resolution drafted by Britain, France and the United States was 10 in favor, Russia and Bolivia against, and China, Kazakhstan and Ethiopia abstaining.

Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vladimir Safronkov told the council before the vote that during talks in Moscow Russia asked for an independent international investigation to examine the April 4 attack on Khan Sheikhoun.

He said U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is con-

sidering the request.

Russia has criticized previous investigations carried out by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the United Nations which blamed the Syrian government for at least three chemical weapons attacks. Safronkov has repeatedly called for an independent investigation with experts drawn from a much broader group of countries.

“We are convinced that we need to have a full and immediate investigation, and the possibilities for that have not been exhausted,” Safronkov said after the vote, accusing the resolution’s sponsors of jumping to conclusions about responsibility before a full-fledged investigation.

The United States, Britain and France have pointed a finger at the Syrian government say-

ing their experts have found that nerve agents were used in the April 4 attack.

Looking at the resolution’s supporters sitting around the horseshoeshaped table in the Security Council, Safronkov said: “You are afraid of an impartial investigation.”

Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said it was Russia’s eighth veto in support of President Bashar Assad’s regime and asked: “How could anyone look at the faces of lifeless children” and yet veto this resolution?

France’s U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre said “with this attack, the Syrian regime has plumbed new depths of horror.”

Russia’s Safronkov called the U.S. strikes on a Syrian air base in retaliation for the Khan Sheikhoun a provocation, but Delattre said they were “a

legitimate response to a mass crime which could not go unpunished.”

China typically sides with Russia in the Security Council, including in opposing U.S.-backed measures to punish Syria for its use of chemical weapons. So China’s decision to abstain rather than join Russia in vetoing the resolution at this time was a significant shift for Beijing.

It came days after Chinese leader Xi Jinping held his first meeting with President Donald Trump at a summit in Florida.

In an interview with Fox News aired Wednesday, Trump said he broke the news of the U.S. missile strike on Syria during a dinner with Xi and that the Chinese leader “was OK with it” because it was in response to the use of “gases” and victims had included young children and babies.

Ancestry.com helps Lawmakers try to family find man who keep town halls from used dead boy’s identity getting out of control

BY JOE MANDAK Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A Pennsylvania man who assumed the identity of a baby who died in Texas in 1972 has been arrested on charges of Social Security fraud and aggravated identity theft after the baby’s aunt discovered the ruse on Ancestry.com.

Jon Vincent, 44, was arrested in Lansdale, near Philadelphia, on Monday, but had also lived near Pittsburgh and York, Pennsylvania since 2003 — after first obtaining a Social Security card in the name Nathan Laskoski in 1996, federal prosecutors said. Vincent remained jailed Wednesday, when a federal magistrate ordered him to appear for arraignment May 2.

The real Nathan Laskoski died in December 1972, two months after he was born near Dallas.

Vincent stole the dead child’s identity after escaping from a Texas halfway house in March 1996, and used the dead baby’s identity to start another life, prosecutors said. The Texas conviction was for indecency with a child, though the precise sentence Vincent was serving wasn’t immediately clear, said Michele Mucellin, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s O ce in Philadelphia.

Vincent lived in also lived in Mississippi and Tennessee under his assumed name, holding jobs, getting drivers’ licenses and even getting married and divorced as Laskoski before the scheme unraveled late last year, according to online court records.

That’s when Laskoski’s aunt did a search on Ancestry.com, a genealogy website.

In researching her family tree, Nathan Laskoski’s name came up as a “green” leaf on the website, which led to public records suggesting

he was alive. The aunt told Laskoski’s mother, who did more research and learned that someone had obtained a Social Security card under her son’s name in Texas, as well as finding public marriage and divorce records, Laskoski’s mother filed an identity theft complaint with the Social Security Administration.

An investigator from the SSA’s O ce of Inspector General took it from there in January, court records show.

Laskoski’s mother told the investigator she remembers a strange telephone call sometime in 1996, from someone asking questions about Nathan, including his Social Security number.

After answering some of the questions, she questioned the caller who hung up. When she called the police, they told her it was likely a scam, but nothing more happened, court records show.

Social Security records show Vincent has been employed, as Laskoski, and earned income every year since 1996.

Most recently, he was working as a nurse’s aide, according to licensing records of the Pennsylvania Department of Health. A license was issued to Laskoski in July 2004 and isn’t set to expire until July 2018, the investigator determined.

Court records don’t say where Vincent was working under Laskoski’s name, and Mucellin, the prosecutor’s spokeswoman, also couldn’t say.

Vincent’s public defender, Felicia Sarner, said he was “a very young man when this matter first arose, and he deeply regrets the poor judgment he exercised back then.”

“His conduct has not resulted in any financial loss and throughout all of the intervening years he has not been in trouble with the law and has lived a quiet, hard-working life.”

Associated Press

DENVER — It was one of the most exclusive tickets in town: Only 800 were made available, and those lucky enough to score one were told they would have to show photo ID at the gate, where they would be issued a wristband and a number.

No signs bigger than a sheet of notebook paper allowed, so as not to obscure anyone’s view.

The rules weren’t for a rock concert but for a town hall meeting Wednesday evening between Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and his suburban Denver constituents.

Town halls have become a risky proposition for GOP members of Congress since President Donald Trump’s election. Liberal groups and constituents angry about the Trump agenda have flooded public meetings, asking their representatives tough questions, chanting, heckling them and even shouting them down in skirmishes that have made for embarrassing online video.

On Monday, for example, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, who became infamous for yelling “You lie!” at President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress in 2009, was himself confronted at a town hall by constituents chanting, “You lie!”

As a result, some Republicans aren’t holding town halls. And some of those who are going ahead with such events are taking steps to keep things from getting out of control.

In Texas, Rep. John Culberson barred signs and noisemakers from a March 24 town hall, required those attending to prove they were constituents by showing utility bills or other documents, and insisted that questions be submitted in advance. He was still shouted down repeatedly by a crowd angry about

the GOP push to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In Arkansas, Rep. French Hill will hold his first town hall of the year on Monday — but in the middle of the afternoon, and with the state’s Republican junior senator, Tom Cotton, at his side.

Nevada’s Dean Heller, one of the more vulnerable GOP senators in 2018, will also hold his first town hall of 2017 on Monday, in the morning.

And he, too, is apparently seeking safety in numbers by including Republican Rep. Mark Amodei.

Democrats, for their part, have felt the heat from anti-Trump constituents at town halls and are also taking precautions. Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California, for example, is banning signs at her town hall in Los Angeles next week.

Coffman is a politician perennially in the hot seat. His swing district has slightly more Democrats than Republicans, and he is always a top target in elections. For years, he has avoided town halls, instead holding private, one-on-one meetings with constituents during “o ce hours” at libraries in his district.

In January, one of those events was flooded by hundreds of constituents and activists who filled the library lobby, sang, chanted and demanded Coffman emerge from his private conversations to address them.

The congressman ended up slipping out the back.

Coffman’s spokesman, Daniel Bucheli, said the congressman decided to hold the event because he knows constituents are anxious. Coffman has said his o ce spent weeks trying to find as large a venue as possible before securing a hall at a satellite branch of the University of Colorado that could hold 600 people and an overflow room to accommodate 200 more.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for the Daily Corinthian’s Spring Dining Guide coming out on Saturday. This is a full color magazine where Crossroads area restaurants share their menus.

Eligible woman bemoans the hordes of clueless men D E A R A B B Y : Could you explain to me why, as a species, men are so blind and Abigail stupid?

There are Van Buren millions of smart, funny, Dear Abby sweet, attractive -even sexy -- eligible women to whom men do not give a second glance, or even acknowledge that these wonderful women exist.

Then, these clueless guys moan about how they can’t find a good woman, can’t find love, have a hard time getting sex, etc., when there are scores of potentially awesome partners right under their noses!

Why don’t men ever grow up?

Even men in their 40s, 50s and 60s suffer from the same stupidity about the dating scene as teenage boys.

I repeat: WHY?! -- ELIGIBLE LADY IN ALABAMA DEAR ELIGIBLE: Coupling up can be complicated these days, because many variables can come into play. Individuals of both sexes can be addicted to a “type” they fantasize about, chase the illusion of eternal youth by pursuing unsuitable partners and/or be commit-

ment-phobic.

That said, you might have better luck with men if you didn’t stereotype them, because some of them are encountering the same problems you are.

And believe me, they are mystified, too.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-yearold girl who has a lot of friends at school, but lately there has been some tension coming from one of them.

“Belle” missed an event that was very important to her.

She’s usually easygoing, but since then she hasn’t been herself, and it’s starting to worry some of us.

We have tried everything from talking about her favorite topic to trying to write a song for her.

Sometimes she acts like herself, but other times she gives me and another friend the silent treatment and the cold shoulder. Is she a friend worth keeping? -- CONCERNED FRIEND IN ALABAMA DEAR CONCERNED: You won’t know what’s causing Belle to act the way she is unless you ask her directly.

There may be more going on in her life than you are aware of that has nothing to do with you.

If she’s doing it because she’s hurt and you weren’t at fault, clear the air so she knows it.

But understand that the time to be a friend is when some-

body needs one.

DEAR ABBY: Three years ago, I lost my wife of 32 years.

Every month, on the anniversary of her death, I buy flowers for my house to honor her.

I am now engaged to a wonderful woman. She understands that I will always grieve for the wife I lost, and she has always shown respect for the way I show my grief.

My question is, should I stop buying flowers to honor my first wife once my fiancee and I get married and move into a house of our own?

I want her to know that she holds the No. 1 place in my heart. -- TIME TO MOVE ON IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TTMO: I’m glad you asked. Although the sentiment behind those flowers is beautiful, I do not think it would be appropriate for you to bring flowers for your late wife into the home you will share with your next one.

If you feel the need to honor your first wife, place flowers on her grave on her birthday.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Bodily responses, such as hunger, sleepiness and fear, are not commanders of our being, just suggestions from the physical realm. They can be heeded or overridden to suit other needs.

When overridden they will lessen in intensity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

What we resist persists. Let go and the opposing force might come forward, but it won’t be able to grip you. You’ll be like water, offering nothing to grab onto.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you seek to bypass the problem, you’ll squander precious energy in the workaround. This one needs to be addressed instead.

But don’t worry: Mere confrontation will shrink it considerably.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

They will never say you weren’t generous. In fact, you may feel compelled to give more than is necessary or even appropriate, though you won’t regret this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will solve one of the great mys-

teries of life -- like, “What are other people’s motives?” or “What’s he thinking?” Well, maybe you won’t find the definitive answer, but you’ll get a rather enlightening glimpse of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Accepting what you can’t change is one way to go about it, though you might accidentally find that through acceptance a transformation happens anyway.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Should you spend, save or give what you have? Whichever choice you make will end in loss; it’s just a matter of timing.

So the answer really depends on personal style and current priorities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You haven’t forgotten about the person who knocked themselves out to help you. However, you also haven’t shown official appreciation, at least to your standards. You’ll enjoy fulfilling this part of your to-do list.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Selfies don’t always represent the prevailing narcissism

of the age. Today’s snaps will be about letting others know you’re proud to be together and you want to share the memory in later days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may be worried about whether your plans have a solid foundation or not. Is there anything hidden you might be missing? Are your worries a form of resistance, or an intuition? Don’t move until you feel better about this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In fairy tales, uninvited guests turn up at the party anyway, resentful at the slight and wielding spells of vengeance. In real life, it’s just hurt feelings, but that’s pretty bad, too. Include everyone and you won’t have to worry about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Regardless of how cool, or solid or useful a thing may be, what’s popular now could be out tomorrow. You’ve no control over the trends, but you know what feels right for you and you’ll be happy you acted on that instinct.

Higher prices?

Inflation at the wholesale level has been climbing steadily over the past year, thanks to rising energy prices.

That trend slowed in February, as the increase in energy prices eased.

The producer price index, which measures inflationary pressures before they reach consumers, rose 0.3 percent in February following a 0.6 percent rise in January. Did the trend continue last month? Find out today, when the Labor Department issues its latest producer price index.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My husband and I live in a small town and belong to a small church, which is struggling.

I like our minister, but a lot of people do not and have left our church for other churches, including a megachurch in a nearby town.

It is hard to compete with that!

But several months ago, I found out that it is not just because of the minister.

A couple in our church have been running people off.

They are involved in everything and are rude to other people and downright mean to the minister.

I started watching their behavior, and I am just amazed that people who act this way can call themselves Christians.

Their behavior is getting worse as the months go by.

We are going to be sharing a minister starting in July because we cannot afford to pay a full-time one any longer.

He is already a minister at a church in a nearby town.

I was hoping that would be an end to our problems, but now I am not so sure.

A few weeks ago, the wife left in the middle of the service, angry over something.

Dear Annie

She sat in the car the rest of the service.

Her husband always runs the computer during worship and thinks no one else can do it right, but last Sunday, they were both gone and someone else did it just fine.

She wrote a post on Facebook about how they attended the church where our future minister already preaches. “Awesome message! So refreshing,” were her comments.

My greatest fear — and I am not alone — is that they are trying to get in good with the new minister before he even gets to our church. I am hoping that he is smart enough to see through these people. My question is: Should someone discuss these people with him, or should we just pray and hope for the best? — Trying to Save Our Church Dear Trying: I’ll answer your question with another: What would Jesus do? By all indications, he would turn the other cheek and pray for this couple, showing them only mercy and kindness. Everyone is on a different path when it comes to faith and

worship.

If the couple are driven by ego and attention, that is between them and God. It is not something you need to worry about and resolve.

These types of things always have a way of working themselves out.

If they are truly being fake and kissing up to the minister, he will probably see through that.

Dear Annie: I agreed with your advice to “Always a Bridesmaid, Now a Bride,” whose sisters-inlaw had all chosen her as a bridesmaid and who was deciding whether to use them as bridesmaids or to use four of her friends.

You said the writer should do the former, but you did not tell her what to do with her friends.

She should use them to help out in other areas of the wedding — serving punch, cutting cake, being greeters and so on.

They could even help with the decorations and bouquets. — Em Dear Em: Great idea, and help with preparation would no doubt be beneficial for brides and grooms on a budget.

to believe as well. Start with the fact that they lost some members of last year’s 40win squad who were key in making that happen. Add to that coach Mike Bianco’s team would be starting several fresh-out-of-high school kids, albeit they comprised the top recruiting class in the nation, and there you have a heavy duty question mark.

On the other hand, Ole

Miss also returned some talented and experienced veterans like Colby Bortles, Tate Blackmon and Ryan Olenek then signed a collection of mostly high school All-Americans mixed in with a junior college standout or two and who provided a bright beam of hope.

But how would this unknown mixture of younger and veteran guys handle a schedule loaded with ranked

teams from around the country?

Beginning with backto-back weekends against teams ranked in the Top 25, this Rebel edition did just fine, thank you. Most collegiate baseball pundits were saying that with all the uncertainty of how new would mix with old the Rebs would probably be happy to take 7-4 or even 6-5 after a trip in week 3 to Houston to face three more teams in the Top 25, including then topPlease see SHAPE | 11

SHAPE CONTINUED FROM 10

ranked Texas Christian.

Ole Miss swept No. 6 East Carolina and No. 23 UNC-Wilmington and busted out of the gate like a thoroughbred at the Kentucky Derby, sporting a 7-0 record and moving into the Top 15 themselves.

Then came Houston.

The Rebs’ bats didn’t appear to make the trip as they scored a grand total of four runs in three games. That trend continued until recently as the wood has reappeared in Oxford.

The saving grace for Ole Miss to survive the scoring drought and currently sit at 21-12 and just outside the Top 25 has been their top-notch pitching staff. UM hurlers, including several freshman contributors, are the best in the SEC with a team ERA of 2.72.

They are the only pitching staff in the league with an ERA under 3.00, and they lead the conference in fewest earned runs allowed (91) and fewest walks (92). Ole Miss pitchers have allowed more than four runs in a game only nine times and had a stretch of five consecutive games without allowing a single run.

The Rebels batting average needs to improve if they have any hopes of making it to Omaha again as they are hitting only .246, tied with Florida for last in the SEC. But come to think of it, UCLA won the World Series a few years back with a team batting average of under .250.

However, they boasted the best pitching staff in the country.

As for the 23-12 Bulldogs, the offense has been really good so far, and they have two of the top three hitters in the conference in Jake Mangum and Brent Rooker, who is the early leader for the MVP of college baseball with his 15 home runs and 56 RBIs. Mississippi State trails only Kentucky in batting average at .299 and are first in hits with 355 and second in the SEC in home runs with 37. They are also tied with Missouri for the league lead in stolen bases with 54.

The Bulldog pitching staff has been solid

AMERICAN LEAGUE

at times but are fighting the injury bug along with inconsistency.

Although State swept the Rebels two weeks ago in Oxford, it wasn’t easy as Ole Miss knocked MSU ace Konnor Pilkington out of game one by touching him for three runs and taking a 3-0 lead before the Dogs rallied late to win 4-3.

The other two game scores were 5-3 and 2-1, so it was a series that could have swung the other way very easily.

Mississippi State currently has six players batting over .300 with Rooker leading the way at .450 and Mangum at .374. Mangum was the big stick for MSU last year and is still a tremendous player and a likely first or secondround MLB pick.

First year head coach Andy Cannizaro has led the Dogs’ recent surge into the Top 20. He arrived in Starkville after a two-year stint as hitting coach and recruiting coordinator for coach Paul Mainieri at LSU. Prior to that, he served six years as a lead scout with the New York Yankees — so he knows a little something about talent and how to mold it.

And let’s not forget about Southern Miss, also ranked in the Top 20 with a 26-8 record.

The Golden Eagles are ranked at the top of Conference USA and Top 10 nationally in team batting average and boast the second-best team ERA in the league.

They just dropped their second game in a week to Ole Miss, but there’s no shame in that with the pitching staff the Rebels possess.

The Eagles have not played the caliber of schedule from top-tobottom as the Rebels or Bulldogs, but have been successful against some very good baseball teams so far this season and lead Conference USA at 10-2, just ahead of 9-3 Old Dominion.

Based on this synopsis, it’s easy to deduce that Mississippi major college baseball is in good shape with a bright future.

Here’s wishing each team, even those not mentioned here, continued success and maybe we’ll see one or more in Omaha in June.

Ole Miss players hosting blood drive Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — With local blood banks at an all-time low, the Ole Miss football team is partnering with Mississippi Blood Services to strengthen reserves for the Oxford-University community.

Rebel players and staff

will participate in and help host a blood drive April 17-19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Courtyard

by Marriott Oxford at 306 Jackson Avenue East. Donors will receive a T-shirt.

“As a program, we always want to do our part to help those in need in

the community,” said Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze. “After hearing from MBS, we saw this as an opportunity to make an impact with a lot of people in North Mississippi. We encourage everyone who is able to join us in replenishing the blood bank.”

Donors must bring an ID and are encouraged to eat at least four hours within giving blood and drink plenty of fluids before and after making a donation.

For questions, contact MBS at msblood.com or 888-90-BLOOD.

Vols’ Smith garnering plenty of attention Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The massive frame that helped make Tennessee’s Trey Smith become one of the nation’s top football recruits now results in some strange looks from fellow students when he walks around campus.

“A lot of times people are scared,” Smith said.

“Just a friendly public service announcement, I will not eat you. I will not harm you. I just want to say, ‘Hi.’” Smith is listed as 6-foot6 and 313 pounds, which helps explain why ESPN rated the early enrollee as the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect in his class. But when coaches rave about Smith, they discuss the incoming freshman offensive tackle’s mental toughness as much as his physical prowess.

“The first thing I can say about him is maturity,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. Smith is “mature beyond his years. Great person of character. Competes every day. He’s come into our football family and has just worked. He continues to earn the respect

of his peers, teammates and everyone around him with the way he carries himself on a daily basis.

We’re obviously very excited about it.”

Smith developed that maturity in the toughest way imaginable.

He was 15 years old when his mother, Dorsetta Smith, died of heart complications.

Smith said the loss of his mother made him realize he needed to grow up.

“It was just time to sort of put the childish things aside, really time to get prepared for my future,” Smith said. “My mom always wanted me to get my degree and be a successful young African-American man. It was time. I had to take the transitional steps. That’s why I wanted to early enroll. It was just time for me to make my path in order to make her proud.”

Smith has acclimated himself to college life two months before his 18th birthday. One of the few reminders of Smith’s youth came recently when he missed a scrimmage to attend his senior prom.

His ability to adapt so

well doesn’t surprise his high school coach, who remembers how the heralded prospect handled all the hoopla that came along with being a prize recruit.

“Everywhere that we went, it was a red carpet event with people taking pictures and asking for autographs and stuff,” said Rusty Bradley, who coached Smith at University School of Jackson (Tennessee). “He never let it faze him, just stayed focused on what he was doing. The way that he handled that, I’ve seen other guys let all that get to their head, and that was never the case with Trey.”

While showing the versatility to play either tackle or guard, Smith has performed well enough that he could have a featured role as a freshman.

Smith downplays that possibility and notes how much he and incoming freshman offensive lineman Riley Locklear have discovered they still have to learn.

“If your hand is like 6 inches to the outside or you don’t take a proper

step forward, you’re beat automatically,” Smith said. “I think it’s just getting acclimated to that.”

Although he’s about a five-hour drive away from home, Smith says he hasn’t gotten homesick.

He has benefited from the campus presence of his older sister, Ashley Smith, who is on Tennessee’s football staff as an executive assistant to the head coach.

“If I don’t see her in the o ce, she’ll probably give me a call late at night,” Smith said.

Smith doesn’t need any help in remaining levelheaded as he gets accustomed to the occasional stares from classmates.

He deals with that kind of attention by relying on the lessons he learned from his mother.

“Just being (ranked) No. 1 out of high school, obviously there’s a lot of heat next to your name, almost like a heat-seeking missile with people coming for you a lot of times in recruiting,” Smith said.

“I know I have to carry myself a little bit differently than the average Joe in regard to how I act.”

Rooker on Golden Spikes midseason watch list Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Already a three-time Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, two-time NCBWA National Hitter of the Week and Perfect Game/ Rawlings Player of the Week in 2017, Mississippi State junior Brent Rooker has now been named to the Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List.

Annually presented to the top amateur baseball player in the country by

USA Baseball, the 40th Golden Spikes Award will be presented on June 29 in Los Angeles.

The midseason watch list features 40 of the nation’s top amateur players from the college ranks.

The Golden Spikes Award Advisory Board will continue to maintain a rolling list of athletes, allowing players to play themselves into consideration for the award before announcing the semifinalists on May 31.

Coming off a six-home run week that led to 13 home runs, a .625 batting average and a 1.813 slugging percentage, Rooker collected SEC Player of the Week honors, along with National Player of the Week recognition from three publications.

The Midseason AllAmerican leads the SEC in batting average (.450), slugging percentage (.992), on-base percentage (.547), hits (58), RBIs (56), doubles (19), home

runs (15), total bases (128) and stolen bases (15).

Rooker also leads the nation in hits, RBIs, slugging percentage and total bases, while ranking second in batting average, doubles and home runs, along with being third in on-base percentage.

Rooker and the rest of the No. 13 Bulldogs will return to SEC play this weekend for a three-game series at No. 17 South Carolina that opens Friday at 6 p.m.
