Jury deadlocks on felony possession BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A jury split evenly on a drug possession case in Alcorn County Circuit Court last week. Richard W. Morrow was tried before Judge James Roberts on a charge of felony possession of

marijuana. The jury deadlocked with no possibility of reaching a verdict. Morrow was charged with felony possession of marijuana on April 7, 2012, after law enforcement received a tip about marijuana at his residence. The

complaint was filed by his niece, who lived with him at the time. Although there was a signed statement from Morrow that the marijuana was his, Morrow testified that he believed his niece set him up in order to gain full access to the residence. The

defense pointed to some differing testimony from law enforcement about whether he said he was set up during the investigation of the case. The informant had been expected to testify but did not appear.

“We believe her disappearance and the inconsistency from the law enforcement statements led to the deadlocked jury,” said attorney John Windsor, who represented Morrow Please see JURY | 3

zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

James Ferguson’s family is well-known for bringing hot tamales to the Crossroads area. It was Ferguson’s tasty chili that had folks talking on Saturday. “I can’t believe the amount of people who came by to taste my chili,” said Ferguson. “I have had a lot of fun and talked to a lot of people. Some even came back for seconds.” “Lord willing, I’ll be back next year,” he added. Ferguson was among 18 People’s Choice Chili Competition participants at the 8th Annual Crossroads Chili Cook-off held this weekend in conjunction with the Green Market at The Depot. Dicky Thorpe from Shelbyville, Tenn., took top honors in the People’s Choice category. Thorpe’s Tennessee Hillbilly Chili team barely beat Corinth native Joey Gilmore. Dennis Farris with his Illegal Heartburn Chili team from Fulton, Miss., took third place. More than $300 in prize money was awarded in the People’s Choice category. The winner was decided by those event goers who purchased a $5 all you can eat tasting kit with all proceeds benefiting the Crossroads Museum. More than 15 professional International Chili Society cooking teams squared off against a handful of local cooks who entered the professional catego-

Team Legalize is coming back to Corinth. The group behind Initiative Measure 48 will be seeking signatures for its petition to legalize marijuana in Mississippi during an April 20 event. The meeting is slated for 3-6 p.m. at the Corinth Library. Walnut’s Frederick Wilbanks, a volunteer with Team Legalize, will be in charge of the event at the library. “Cannabis is proven to help cancer and diabetes,” said Wilbanks. “That’s why I am involved with the petition.”

Wilbanks’ mother, Bobbie Ruth died following a battle with breast cancer. Fred Wilbanks, the father of Frederick, is diabetic and already lost one of his kidneys. “How can I not be for something that heals people?” said Wilbanks. If the initiative is passed in 2016, the use, cultivation and sale of cannabis and industrial hemp would be legalized in Mississippi. Marijuana sales would also be taxed 7 percent.

The City of Corinth is moving toward a possible land purchase to enlarge the city’s inert landfill on West Linden Street. The Board of Aldermen recently ratified a letter of agreement for the purchase of 13 acres adjacent to the city property that would allow the city to extend the lifespan of the inert landfill, where the city disposes of things such as

bagged leaves and lawn trimmings from residents. Purchase of the property is contingent on the outcome of an appraisal. If the purchase is completed, owner Danny Boatman would have 10 acres remaining out of the tract. The city would allow six months from the date of closing for marketable timber to be cleared, and the letter states all trees would Please see LANDFILL | 3

Taking full advantage of warmer weather and fairer skies, Main Street of Corinth’s Films on Fillmore will return to the C.A.R.E Garden at dusk on Friday, May 1. “Our first film of the year will be “Toy Story,” said Outgoing Main Street Corinth Director Taylor Coombs. “I encourage everyone to pick up dinner at one of our local restaurants, bring a blanket and have a picnic.” Slated to be held the night before the Corinth Coke 10K Race in historic downtown Corinth, the free outdoor-film will feature food and fellowship, as well as fun.

developing relationships between Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Mr. Potato Head, Bo Peep and other beloved characters. Rated G, the familyfriendly film will pull at heartstrings as it reaffirms the bonds of friendship and proves that outward appearances can be deceptive In addition to Main Street Corinth, Films on Fillmore is sponsored by Coca-Cola Bottling Works. “Bring your blankets and lawn chairs and meet us at the Depot downtown,” said Coombs. “It is going to be a fun night for everyone.” (For more informaSubmitted Photo tion call 662-287-1550.)

Casinos, states working to cut illegal gambling

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

BILOXI â€” The nationâ€™s casino owners and gambling machine makers say they want to team with states to crack down on illegal gambling. Speaking to the National Association of Attorneys General on Monday, American Gaming Association President Geoff Freeman called on state legal leaders to join with his group, saying they â€œhave a shared interest in putting an end to illegal gambling.â€? Freeman said illegal gambling is siphoning off money from legitimate casinos. He said states should care because illegal operations donâ€™t pay taxes, arenâ€™t regulated to protect consumers and may be funding other criminal operations. â€œOne of the things that I want to do is draw a sharp distinction between illegal gambling and legal casinos you may have in your state,â€? Freeman said. â€œWe are a heavily regulated business that does things on the up-and-up.â€? The association is calling on states to crack down on illegal sports betting, sweepstakes cafes, black market slot machines and online gambling sites hosted in other countries. Freeman estimated that illegal sports betting alone is a

â€œThose involved in illegal gambling are using the proceeds to fund what are truly terrible and criminal behaviors.â€? Geoff Freeman American Gaming Association president $150-billion-a-year business in the United States, with the other three methods of gambling he cited accounting for billions more in activity. The nationâ€™s nearly 1,000 legal casinos, by comparison, have about $240 billion a year in revenue. Freeman acknowledged that illegal activities compete with casinos and take money away from them. He said states should support casinos in part because they generate large amounts of tax money. The American Gaming Association intends to fund research into illegal gambling to find patterns and ties to organized crime. He said the gambling industry will develop an online site that will allow people to tip police about illegal gambling as well as host resources for law enforcement and consumers. He also said the association will create a law enforcement advisory board on illegal gambling, and that the association itself will become more outspoken.

â€œThose involved in illegal gambling are using the proceeds to fund what are truly terrible and criminal behaviors,â€? Freeman said, adding that investigators have found such criminal links. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, current president of the National Association of Attorneys General, said the group may create a committee to examine illegal gambling. Freeman also suggests that if attorneys general donâ€™t wish to enforce laws against some activities such as sports betting, states should legalize them so casinos can legitimately compete. Currently, sports betting is legal in only a handful of states. Freeman said casinos would like to enter the fast-growing fantasy sports business, in part to reach younger consumers, but that some regulators have rejected such moves. â€œI would suggest to you that changing laws is preferable to not enforcing laws,â€? Freeman said.

BOONEVILLE — The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) awarded Prentiss County a solid waste assistance grant of $13,304 that will be used by the county for clean up of illegal dumping sites. “The Solid Waste Assistance Grants support a variety of useful solid waste management activities for cities and counties, and this grant will assist Prentiss County’s efforts in

improving their management of solid waste,” said Gary Rikard, MDEQ Executive Director. Cities and counties may apply for Solid Waste Assistance Grants through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. These grants are used by local communities for programs to prevent and clean up unauthorized dumps; to aid in hiring local solid waste enforcement officers; for public education efforts on solid waste disposal and recycling; and to establish programs for the collection of white goods, bulky wastes and recyclables.

On this date: In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Philadelphia. In 1828, the first edition of Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of the English Language” was published. In 1890, the First International Conference of American States, meeting in Washington D.C., agreed to form the International Union of American Republics, a forerunner of the Organization of American States. In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time and began sinking. (The ship went under two hours and 40 minutes later with the loss of 1,514 lives.) In 1935, the “Black Sunday” dust storm descended upon the central Plains, turning a sunny afternoon into total darkness. In 1939, the John Steinbeck novel “The Grapes of Wrath” was first published by Viking Press. In 1949, the “Wilhelmstrasse Trial” in Nuremberg ended with 19 former Nazi Foreign Office officials sentenced by an American tribunal to prison terms ranging from four to 25 years. In 1956, Ampex Corp. demonstrated the first practical videotape recorder at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters Convention in Chicago. In 1965, the state of Kansas hanged Richard Hickock and Perry Smith for the 1959 murders of Herbert Clutter, his wife, Bonnie, and two of their children, Nancy and Kenyon. In 1981, the first test flight of America’s first operational space shuttle, the Columbia, ended successfully with a landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Ten years ago: The House passed and sent to President George W. Bush legislation making it tougher to erase obligations through bankruptcy (Bush signed the measure six days later).

Tennessee postpones executions Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Supreme Court postponed execution dates for four inmates, effectively halting all executions while the courts decide whether current protocols for putting people to death are constitutional. Tennessee last executed a prisoner in 2009. Since then, legal challenges and problems obtaining lethal injection drugs have stalled new executions. In 2013 and 2014, the state tried to jump-start the process with a new one-drug lethal injection method and the reinstatement of

One inmate died in prison, and the execution dates for the others have been postponed as they approach because of legal challenges to the new methods. On Friday, the court postponed the last of the scheduled execution dates. It will set new dates after the legal questions are settled. States across the country have been struggling to find a method of execution that will stand up to legal challenges.

Legislature aids Jacinto Foundation BY NICK BAIN State Representative, District 2

The 2015 Legislative session is now history, and, although we had some spirited debates, we were able to do some good for the people of Mississippi. For example, Senate Bill 2906 secured $100,000 in bonds for the Jacinto Foundation for the purpose of restoring, repairing and preserving the Jacinto Courthouse, one of our most treasured historic buildings, and its related structures. Many of us here in Alcorn County have fond memories of spending the Fourth of July on the grounds of the courthouse, as we listened to some of our state’s most notable public speakers. I was proud to support this measure. Also included in that bill is $1 million in bonding authority to help complete the Railroad Authority of East Mississippi’s construction of short rail lines. While this construction is taking place in south Mississippi, once complete, the project will open the rail service all the way from Corinth to the Ports of Pascagoula and Mobile. House Bill 1630 sets aside $162 million for the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to apply toward road and bridge repair for our State Aid roads and bridges. In Mississippi’s rural areas, the conditions of our roads and bridges are important because so many of us travel long miles to church, work and school. Additionally, the measure provides for $20 million to be used to replace what the Legislature removed from the State Aid Road Program last year and to fund the Local System Bridge Program (LSBP) for repair of deficient bridges on state-maintained highways. I authored House Bill 1674, which provides an exception for Alcorn County to enter into road and bridge repair contracts, even if their completion may extend past 30 days of the end of the contracting supervisors’ terms, as required. Our roads and bridges, many of which were built under the State Aid program, are in serious deficient condition. Although these measures will help, Mississippi is still some $1 billion short in fully funding these transportation infrastructure needs. It was my honor to sponsor House Bill 968, designating a segment of MS Highway 2 in Alcorn County as “Agent Harold Lane Caldwell Memorial Highway.” Agent Caldwell was killed in the line of duty in 1979. House Bill 885 requires insurance companies to provide coverage for specialty services for children with autism, from ages 2 until 8. Experts say that this age span comprises the prime period in which a child with this disability can be helped. I was a proud co-sponsor of this much-needed legislation for these children and their families. One of the great things about being in the Legislature is that we can enact measures that will do good in unexpected ways. For example, I worked hard to include authority for a special license plate that will benefit the Alcorn animal shelter in the omnibus “special tag” bill. I have the greatest respect for those individuals who dedicate so much time and effort in making sure that abandoned and endangered animals have a refuge. I hope this measure helps. As always, I welcome your ideas and input on the issues that affect not only us here in Alcorn County, but all Mississippians as well.

Kidd adds fire to Initiative 42 debate STARKVILLE — On the issue of the language of a legislative alternative to Initiative 42, one Hinds County judge chosen by the voters of one judicial district rejected the will of the majority of state legislators elected in in 174 legislative districts statewide. The ruling came in the case of the ongoing fight over an initiative-and-referendum effort to force the Legislature to “fully fund” the Mississippi Adequate Education Program by amending Section 201 of the state constitution. Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Winston L. Kidd ruled that the language offered by lawmakers in their alternative to Initiative 42 was not in accordance with Mississippi law requiring that the ballot language may not “intentionally be an argument, nor likely to create prejudice, either for or against the measure.” Kidd’s remedy was to substitute language on the legislative initiative that is more to the like of Initiative 42 proponents, including the Better Schools, Better Jobs group. Since 1993, Mississippians have had the option of taking the power away from the Legislature and chang-

ing the state constitution as they deem appropriate when the Legislature refuses to act. Sid Salter The process is called iniColumnist tiative and referendum. Perhaps the hardest hurdle is this – once the petitions are received and reviewed and pass muster as this one has, the Legislature is afforded a chance to review the initiative’s wording. If legislators don’t agree with the amendment’s wording, the law allows them to offer an amendment that the Legislature approved. In this case, that’s just what happened. Attorney General Jim Hood’s office constructed the Legislature’s alternative language to Initiative 42. Kidd ruled that Hood’s office failed to construct that legal language correctly. In the early going of the battle over Initiative 42, the issue was raised that there seemed to be a strategy at play to force decisions regarding MAEP funding into Hinds County, which has long been perceived as a friendly judicial venue for such matters.

After the ruling, Gov. Phil Bryant said as much: “It only proves what we we’re saying is [that] the authority of the legislature, now the authority of the Attorney General, is being turned over to a local Hinds County Judge, and we just think that’s a wrong decision.” Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves was more pointed in his take: “Initiative 42 gives this ability to this one judge to make the decision on how billions and billions and billions of dollars are spent. If you support the notion of allowing one judge to make that decision, perhaps you should vote for the initiative. If you don’t support that, if you think you ought to go to the polls and elect your representatives to decide how to spend the billions of dollars sent to Jackson then that’s your prerogative.” But in a recent Facebook post on the Better Schools, Better Jobs account, that allegation was rather sharply denied: “Why can’t our state’s top elected officials stop fighting against our schools? “Once again, they’re not telling the truth. State law requires someone to go to court in Hinds County, if they’ve got a beef with the state. It’s no ‘conspiracy’ to

judge-shop, it’s the law on where a citizen must go to object to anything the state does. Clearly, Tate Reeves and Phil Bryant continue to think they can spread falsehoods and get away with it. Go figure. Isn’t it in everybody’s best interests to educate our children?” The political fallout grows and this question – which supposedly is about funding public education – increasingly becomes about everything but funding education. But in one stroke of the pen, Judge Kidd turned the Republican rallying cry that “one Hinds County judge shouldn’t make education funding decisions for the entire state” from a minor point of debate into a bright line reality that will likely resonate from the Tennessee line to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. For good or ill, one Hinds County judge did in fact usurp the will of the Legislature on the question of Initiative 42 – which the law says has a right to offer a legislative alternative, not a judicial one.

The Iran framework: Devilish details to follow Too bad the “framework” of a nuclear weapons deal with Iran didn’t come four days earlier on April Fools’ Day. It would have been more appropriate. The United States is being asked to foolishly believe promises by a regime that is religiously motivated to eliminate Israel and ultimately the United States, is the premier sponsor of terrorism in the world, has a record of breaking promises, including past promises about nuclear weapons, and still holds American prisoners, including a Christian minister, a Washington Post reporter, a former Marine and Robert Levinson, a retired DEA agent taken hostage in 2007. Did Secretary of State John Kerry demand they be released as part of the framework? We don’t know because the deal that isn’t yet a deal has not been formalized and if an agreement is actually reached by the next deadline in June, we still might only know what they tell us, unless Congress holds hearings and asks the right questions. Shades of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s line about the need to pass Obamacare to find out what’s in it. The other half of the credibility gap is President

Obama. We are asked to believe a man who said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep Cal your doctor” Thomas and that his would be the Columnist most “open and transparent” administration in history, among many other obfuscations. In a dispute between an American president and a foreign leader, especially an Iranian leader, one might expect most Americans to side with the president. Not in this case. Iran’s chief negotiator at the talks in Switzerland, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, accused the Obama administration of misleading the American people and Congress. Zarif claimed that in spite of statements from Secretary Kerry and a “fact sheet” released by the American delegation, the U.S. is making claims that conditions were reached for the accord that Iran did not agree to. If the two sides can’t agree on the contents of the framework, how are they supposed to reach a final agreement by June? In this case, the devil is not in the

details; the devil is Iran. Iran has always maintained it is seeking nuclear power for peaceful purposes. If that were true, there would be no need for negotiations. How do you negotiate with someone who has lied from the start and is told in the Koran that lying to “infidels” is permissible in pursuit of Islamic goals? Did Secretary Kerry ask Zarif if he had heard from Allah lately and whether Allah has changed his mind about the destruction of Israel, the eradication of the Jewish people and the elimination of the United States? I’m guessing probably not, but he should have since current and previous Iranian leaders have said openly this is the mandate they have received from their god. Among the many concerns in the announced framework is language that says, “The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have regular access to all of Iran’s nuclear facilities, including Iran’s enrichment facility at Natanz and its former enrichment facility at Fordow, and including the use of the most up-to-date, modern monitoring technologies.” What is meant by “regular access”? Will it have to be

scheduled, or will there be surprise visits? Iran, like North Korea, has hidden nuclear material from inspectors in the past and if they wanted to they might do so again. A Wall Street Journal editorial noted: “Consider the Additional Protocol, a 1997 addendum to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that was meant to expand the IAEA’s ability to detect and monitor clandestine nuclear activities. Iran signed the Additional Protocol in December 2003. ... The signature meant nothing: By September 2005 the IAEA reported that Iran wasn’t meeting its commitments, and Iran abandoned its pretense of compliance by February 2006.” Stockbrokers are required to say that past performance is no guarantee of future results. With Iran, past performance IS such a guarantee. Delaying an inevitable military confrontation, rather than early intervention, allows the enemy to grow stronger with more loss of life and property when war comes. That is history’s lesson.

Families of slain officers honored NEW YORK — The families of two slain New York City police officers are throwing out the first pitch at the Mets’ home opener at Citi Field. The relatives of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were joined by Mayor Bill de Blasio and other NYPD and city officials. Ramos and Liu were shot to death as they sat in their parked NYPD patrol car in Brooklyn in December. The Mets paid tribute to their sacrifice and showed their images on the park’s giant video screen. Ramos’ two sons and Liu’s widow threw out the pitches to Mets players David Wright, Matt Harvey and Curtis Granderson. The families were loudly cheered.

Boston jury reviews penalty phase BOSTON — Jurors in the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are set to return to court so the judge can review the schedule for the second phase. The jury will be back in court Tuesday. In the trial’s first phase, Tsarnaev was convicted of all 30 counts against him in the deadly 2013 attack. During the next phase, the same jury will be asked to decide whether to sentence him to life in prison or to death. The penalty phase is set to begin April 21. The judge says the break between Tsarnaev’s conviction and the penalty phase was a request from Tsarnaev’s lawyers. The delay means there won’t be testimony April 15, the second anniversary of the bombing, or April 20, this year’s race.

Hill remembered for courageous life CINCINNATI — Lauren Hill was remembered Monday with her own music and words in the basketball arena where she had one of her greatest moments. Only this time, the crowd celebrated not a

layup, but a life. A brief life that was fully lived. The 19-year-old college basketball player died Friday from a brain tumor that had been growing inside of her for more than a year. The Mount St. Joseph freshman devoted her final year to playing basketball, raising money for cancer research, and inspiring others. Her body was brought to Xavier’s Cintas Center, where she made a left-handed layup while the world watched her first game on Nov. 2. The crowd heard music from her iPod and remember her motto: “Never give up.”

Space station run includes espresso CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Mornings are about to improve for the Italian astronaut who’s been suffering through instant coffee at the International Space Station since fall. An espresso machine is on the supply capsule scheduled for launch Monday. SpaceX has a single second — at precisely 4:33 p.m. — to launch its unmanned cargo ship for NASA from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Forecasters put the odds of acceptable weather at 60 percent, with thick storm clouds the main concern. Minutes after liftoff, SpaceX will try again to land its leftover booster on an ocean barge. This will be the company’s third attempt to fly a first-stage booster to a platform floating off Florida’s east coast and land it vertically. The January effort ended in flames when the booster tumbled off the platform; February’s attempt was nixed because of rough seas. The platform, dubbed “Just Read the Instructions,” can hold position better now, thanks to improvements, and the rocket’s steering system should have plenty of hydraulic fluid for touchdown. That’s why Hans Koenigsmann, a SpaceX vice president, is predicting 75 percent or even 80 percent odds of success this time. The California company led by billionaire Elon Musk wants to save money by reusing rockets. “The implications are

huge and, of course, in the long term this might change completely how we approach transportation to space,” Koenigsmann said. The specially designed, Italian-made espresso maker is intended for Samantha Cristoforetti, who arrived last November. It was supposed to fly in January, but ended up on backlog following another company’s launch explosion last year. Altogether, the SpaceX capsule, named Dragon, holds more than 4,000 pounds of food, science experiments and equipment.

Official: Man killed was track employee ORLANDO, Fla. — A Lamborghini driven by a customer at an exoticcar racing attraction on Walt Disney World property crashed into a guardrail, killing a driving instructor who was in the passenger seat, a spokeswoman said Monday. Gary Terry was a senior operations manager at the Exotic Driving Experience at Walt Disney World, and he also was a professional driving instructor, said Lauren Swoboda, a spokeswoman for Petty Holdings LLC, which operated the attraction. “Yesterday we lost a long-time, valued team member of the Exotic Driving Experience family,” company officials said in statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary’s family and friends. He will be sorely missed.” Tavon Watson, 24, of nearby Kissimmee, lost control of the vehicle Sunday afternoon, killing Terry, 36, of Davenport, Florida, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Watson failed to maneuver the high-powered vehicle through the course and the sports car’s passenger side struck the guardrail, authorities said. Terry died at the scene. Watson was treated and released from a hospital. The attraction lets racecar fans be drivers or passengers in luxurious cars such as Lamborghinis, Porsches or Ferraris. For $200 to $400, customers can drive several laps with a professional driving instructor in the passenger seat.

Father’s sentencing reset in infant death VICKSBURG — A Vicksburg father’s sentencing has been rescheduled for Thursday in the shaking death of his infant son to death in December 2013. The Vicksburg Post reports the sentencing for Jamaro South Sr. was changed from Friday after defense attorneys asked for a hearing. Warren County Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick will conduct the hearing and sentence South on Thursday. Prosecutors say South faces 25 to 40 years in prison. Authorities say South was alone with the 6-month old boy on Dec. 14, 2013, when the child was injured and later died of head injuries. South took an open plea — meaning there was no recommendation by prosecutors — to second-degree murder March 19.

Jordan sentencing closes drug probe JACKSON — The third and last defendant in a federal drug investigation in east Mississippi has been sentenced to six months in prison for lying to authorities. The sentencing of Marzett Jordan of Philadelphia in federal court in Jackson earlier this month ends the yearslong illegal narcotics distribution and money laundering investigation. Fededral prosecutors say Marzett Jordan and his brother, Spencer, laundered drug proceeds through real estate purchases. Marzett Jordan purchased the property in his name. Spencer Jordan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. He was sentenced in 2009 to more than 11 years in prison. Annie Mae Jordan pleaded guilty to withholding information on a felony. She was sentenced to in 2006 eight months in prison followed by one year of supervised release.

Prosecutors say the body of 28-year-old Gregory Johnson Jr. was found in his car on Nov. 1, 2012, after driving into the J.Y. Trice Apartment Complex in Rosedale. Authorities say they believe Johnson was trying to flee in the car after being shot during a confrontation. They say Johnson apparently put car in reverse and rolled into the building. Johnson died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Thompson’s son Blake Thompson, 16, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy and was sentenced to 30 years. Prosecutors said Blake Thompson ran away from home and was living in Pittman’s house when he learned his father was in the neighborhood looking for him. Pittman is a former police officer with the McComb and Brookhaven police departments.

MCCOMB — A former policeman charged as an accessory in a murder case has been sentenced to serve five years in prison.

Circuit Judge Mike Taylor sentenced Pittman to 13 years with eight years suspended. Pittman was one of four people charged in connection with the crime.

GREENWOOD — Leflore County Fire Coordinator Gary Fulgham will retire at the end of June after 27 years overseeing the local volunteer fire departments. The 72-year-old Fulgham was first appointed county fire coordinator in 1988, shortly after the Legislature mandated that counties create the position. Fulgham had spent about 25 years with the Itta Bena Fire Department. When Fulgham was a volunteer firefighter in the 1960s, the Itta Bena department handled the majority of calls in the county. Only departments in Schlater and Minter City could turn out an old fire truck. Now, the seven volunteer departments — in Money, Minter City, Schlater, Itta Bena, Sidon, Phillipston and Morgan City — have trucks, and the Mississippi Fire Academy regularly trains the county’s roughly 80 volunteers.

Provoking God - with Sin When we use the word “sin” we can almost hear the “hissing” of the snake. Committing the acts of sin separates us from God. The universal corruption of the sinful nation of Israel was made known to all. The year was about 760 B.C. Isaiah was called to teach this nation. “A sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: thy have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto Anger, they are gone away backward” -Isaiah 1:4. About 698 B.C. Isaiah continues to speak out against their sins. “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shorter, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that is cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” - Isaiah 59: 1-2. Time does not forgive sin. It affords man daily opportunities to turn to God and seek His forgiveness. Why were they being given no help? 1. The problem was not an impotent God. Some indicated that God was the problem. Has the Lord’s hand become so short that it can no longer save us? Has God become deaf? Can he no longer see? Where has God gone? Why is he so far away? If God seems far away, who moved? Give this some clear thought. 2. The problem was sin. The nation of Israel had allowed sin to enter and remain. They were ignoring God’s Commands. Their hands were filled with blood- V3. The ever conceiving evil and bring forth sin, which they seemed to enjoy. Read I John 2: 15-17, Hebrews 11: 24-26 in your Bible. Thus, God could have no fellowship with such people. God had hidden his face from them. This was God’s way to show his disapproval. His arm could have saved them. He could have heard their cries, but sin had made a separation. It does the same today. 3. Sin remains the problem today. What are the sins we see today which separate men from God? The same ones that kept Israel from receiving blessings from God over 2000 years ago. Each reader of this article could name a long list of sinful things in our Community. Paul gave a list- he called sins “Works of the flesh”- Galatians 5: 19-21. Please read for your benefit. Now, how does your list compare to his? Man is freed from all sin- when we obey the gospel. Read what one must do- in Your Bible. Acts 2: 14-47. Thank God for the Bible - Read it daily.

Groups pushing to end blockade The effects of time Associated Press

A coalition of international aid groups urged the world Monday to deliver on aid promises for Gaza reconstruction and pressure Israel to lift its blockade of the territory, where rebuilding efforts have stalled since last summer’s Israel-Hamas war. Donor countries pledged $3.5 billion six months ago for rebuilding thousands of homes and businesses destroyed in the war, but reconstruction has barely begun and living conditions in the territory of 1.8 million people have only worsened, according to a report by the Association of International Development Agencies. The report, signed by 46 aid groups, said only open borders and a durable Israel-Hamas ceasefire can bring economic, social and political stability to Gaza. Otherwise, “a return to conflict — and the cycles of damage and donorfunded reconstruction that accompany it — is inevitable,” the report

said. The groups said the international community should adopt a new Gaza policy, including by pressuring Israel to lift what they said is an illegal blockade. The report said most donors have been trying to work around the border restrictions, rather than challenging them. Israel and Egypt have been enforcing tight access and trade restrictions since the Islamic militant group Hamas seized Gaza in 2007. Under the closure rules, the vast majority of Gaza residents cannot travel or export, though Israel permits imports of consumer goods to the territory. Israel and Egypt say they need to maintain the closure because Hamas, shunned by much of the world as a terror group, poses a security threat. Israel has fought three wars with Hamas in the past six years, in part to try to halt Gaza rocket fire on Israeli towns. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon dismissed

the report as “hostile and one-sided.” “The report pretends to present the root causes of the conflict, ignoring totally and deliberately that the root cause of the conflict is the refusal of the Palestinian side to accept Israel’s right of existence and its legitimacy,” he said. He said Monday’s report ignored events leading up to the 2014 war, including the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teens in the West Bank and a spike in Hamas rocket fire on Israel. The 2014 war was the most devastating for Gaza’s 1.8 million people, killing more than 2,200 Palestinians, a majority of them civilians, according to U.N. figures. Seventy-two people were killed on the Israeli side, including 66 soldiers. The report said about 19,000 homes were destroyed or severely damaged in Gaza, while another 134,000 suffered some damage but are fit to live in. About 100,000 people are still displaced, living in U.N. schools, tents

pitched on rubble or rented apartments and storefronts. In October, donor countries and international organizations pledged $3.5 billion for Gaza. So far, only $945 million, or 26.8 percent, has been released, the report said. Israel has been allowing imports of some cement and steel for reconstruction under a U.N.-brokered postwar arrangement, easing restrictions imposed to prevent Hamas from diverting materials for military use. The new mechanism has made cement available for the repair of tens of thousands of homes, but many homeowners cannot afford it, according to Monday’s report. It said not a single destroyed home has been rebuilt. “Six months after the donor conference, little tangible change has taken place on the ground in Gaza and living conditions for women, girls, men and boys continue to worsen,” the report said.

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Vin Diesel sang, Channing Tatum danced and Zac Efron showed off his toned abs yet again as the best shirtless winner for the second year in a row at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards. “This is definitely not the Oscars,” said “22 Jump Street” star Jillian Bell as she arrived for MTV’s 24th annual irreverent treatment on Hollywood award shows. In addition to such cheeky, fan-voted honors as best kiss and best shirtless performance, the awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles also served as an unofficial promotional platform for the upcoming blockbuster season. Almost at odds with the raunchy spirit of the show, the big winner of the evening was the teen tearjerker “The Fault in Our Stars,” which got the Golden Popcorn statuette for best movie of the year as well as multiple wins for star Shailene Woodley. Other winners included Bradley Cooper, Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lopez, as well as Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep, who were not in attendance. Woodley, who picked up the award for best female performance in

“The Fault in Our Stars” in addition to the Trailblazer Award and best kiss honor (with Ansel Elgort), gave an emotional speech dedicated to the book’s author, John Green. “He gave this world a beautiful masterpiece,” she said directly to Green, who was seated in the audience. Woodley said that the book changed her life when she read it and that his words will transcend the test of time. In another poignant moment, Cooper, who won best male performance for portraying the late Chris Kyle in “American Sniper,” thanked the audience for making the film such a big success and bringing attention to the plight of the soldiers. “Chris Kyle would have turned 41 four days ago. Chris, this is for you,” said Cooper. But it was hard to be uniformly gracious when categories include other wacky awards like best villain (Streep for “Into the Woods”), and best WTF moment (Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen for “Neighbors”). Kevin Hart, who was the target of many sizerelated jokes throughout the night, brought his kids on stage to accept the comedic genius award. “I do it all for

them,” he said. “I’m trying to leave a legacy behind.” Host Amy Schumer set the tone at the outset, poking fun at MTV, Hillary Clinton and even Harrison Ford. “This is going to be the party of the year. I just hope Harrison Ford doesn’t crash it,” Schumer said, referring to the actor’s recent plane mishap. In one of the most energetic moments of the show, Robert Downey Jr. brought his fellow Avengers to their knees while accepting the Generation Award. Cast mates Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner all took the stage to present their co-star with the award, which Downey called “the recognition I so desire.” They then fell to their knees as Downey talked about his memories of the first MTV Movie Awards, and “clawing”

his way to the top. “I partied way too much. I’ve squandered, resisted, repented,” he said, imploring the audience to “dream big, work hard, keep your nose clean.” But the real focus was on what’s coming up at the multiplex this summer. The Movie Awards’ 2013, host Rebel Wilson, and her “Pitch Perfect” co-stars introduced a new clip from their upcoming sequel. The team behind “Paper Towns,” an adaptation of John Green’s novel, debuted a new clip. Of course, there was also an agenda behind Downey’s accolade: the promotion of “Ultron.” The “Iron Man” star introduced a new clip from the Marvel blockbuster, which bows May 1. Even host Schumer had a film to promote: “Trainwreck,” a relationship comedy with Bill Hader from director Judd Apatow that Schumer wrote and stars in.

Today

Spotlight on retailers The Commerce Department reports its March data on U.S. retail sales today. The key gauge of consumer spending has been on a losing streak. Retail sales fell in February as auto purchases plunged and consumers spent less at restaurants and home improvement stores. It was the third consecutive monthly decline. Freezing temperatures and snowstorms were blamed for the drop.

A new day? SeaWorld Entertainment is taking steps to defend its brand. The theme park operators stock has been under pressure for more than a year. It has been trending downward since the release of the 2013 documentary â€œBlackfish,â€? which was critical of how killer whales are kept in captivity at the companyâ€™s marine parks. The negative spotlight led to a drop in attendance and weakened earnings. SeaWorld has since announced plans for larger killer whale environments. Earlier this month it appointed a new CEO, Joel Manby, and has launched a national television and online advertising campaign to focus on the care it provides to animals at its parks. Analyst Joel Simkins of Credit Suisse maintains an â€œOutperformâ€? rating on the stock and has expressed cautious optimism that Manby will be able to turn things around. SeaWorld shares are up 15.5 percent this year, compared with the 1.6 percent climb of the Standard & Poorâ€™s 500 index. The stock is 34 percent below its 52-week high of $31.46 set in May.

Global Youth Service Day approaches WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: Young people are ready, willing and able to tackle the world’s most difficult challenges, and yet are vastly underrepresented as active citizens, decision-makers and problem solvers. We know that young people are uniquely suited to help solve problems if given the opportunity. 1. Fifty percent of the world’s population is under age 25. 2. Brain research tells us that young people are uniquely suited to solve problems if given the opportunity. They are wired for novelty (learning new things and creating new solutions), risk (trying things adults might not) and peer authority (kids listen to other kids more than they do to adults). 3. Youth who are engaged as active community members are more likely to grow up to volunteer, vote and donate to charitable causes. 4. Today’s social and environmental problems are immense; we need youth to be leaders and problem solvers today, not just the leaders of a distant tomorrow. Please let your readers know about Global Youth Service Day, April 17-19. During this threeday event, held in the U.S. and around the world, we are asking that young people raise their voices,

Annie’s Mailbox claim their place on our GYSD map and tell their story. Together with their parents, teachers and friends, young people will begin their story of service and address unmet community needs. This event spotlights what youth are doing to make a difference. When given the opportunity, young people are great assets and resources to their communities, providing unique perspectives and skills. For more information, readers can visit www. ysa.org and www.gysd. org. You can also find us on social media at @ YouthService on Twitter and YouthServiceAmerica on Facebook. Sincerely — Steven A. Culbertson, president and CEO, Youth Service America Dear Steven Culbertson: Thank you for once again allowing us to mention Global Youth Service Day. Young people all over the world do such wonderful and helpful volunteer work, not only on this day, but every day of the year. Global Youth Service Day provides

more opportunities for everyone to get involved. We hope all of our readers, young and old, teachers and students, will check out your website. Dear Annie: “C.B. in New Hampshire” said people should write down their plans for their own funerals and not leave family members guessing. When my husband passed away, I was fortunate that our insurance covered his expenses. I didn’t want my daughters to worry about me when my time comes. I had a CD that would cover my expenses. We went to the funeral home, and the director called the bank and had the CD turned over to an irreversible trust fund. It will accrue interest, and after all expenses are paid, any money left over will go to my daughters. Additionally, all of the decisions are made, from the vault to the obituary. For anyone who can pre-plan and pre-pay for their funeral, it’s a great idea. My girls said it was the best present I ever gave them. — Planning Ahead Dear Planning: Such pre-arranged plans give children peace of mind. We wish more people would be willing to address this issue ahead of time.
