Shomarick Payne, a 24-yearold black male, was found dead with single gun shot wound to the head, said Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance. A friend arrived at the home to check on the man and the front door was open, said Dance. Po-

Sixteen-year-old Brady Spencer wants to be a corporate attorney when he grows up. It’s his interest in law, business and politics that has helped him succeed in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). “I got started in seventh grade and I’ve always had teachers who have pushed me toward FBLA,” said Spencer, who was recently elected as the state president for the FBLA Mississippi Chapter. “It’s a tremendous organization I feel fortunate to be a part of. I always recommend other high school students to get involved in a student organization ... even if it’s not FBLA, it’s always a very rewarding experience.” The Kossuth High School sophomore also serves as the KHS chapter president.

The first level will be an enclosed, temperature-controlled display area to protect the fire engine from future deterioration.

The delinquent lunch charge policy is paying oﬀ. Alcorn School District Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell said the new policy enacted by the board in February has helped the district recover debt. The policy was written after USDA said all schools must have such a policy in place. “It has helped us tremendously to get our numbers down,” said Mitchell. “We are in much better shape now compared to a few months ago.” The districts delinquent lunch charge account was “well over $1,000,” according to Mitchell. Now the account is down to around $400. The policy is a threestep process that begins when a student’s debt reaches $10. The process includes several attempts to collect the charge from the parents includ-

Across the State Associated Press

Riverboats expected to bring 40,000 to Vicksburg in 2017 VICKSBURG — An increase in riverboat traffic is expected to bring more than 40,000 visitors to Vicksburg this year. The Vicksburg Post reports that tourists traveling by riverboat have generated a significant economic impact for the city, whose waterfront is a featured stop. Some t30,000 riverboat passengers visited Vicksburg in 2016. The American Queen steamboat is the largest ship to regularly visit Vicksburg, with a capacity of 436 passengers. Its parent company estimated each stop in the city yields a $23,000 to $27,000 impact. Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Bill Serrat said the overall increase in riverboat visits translates to a larger awareness of the city through word-ofmouth advertising from passengers. “It is not so much the money they spend,” Serrat said. “But, the brand awareness and the things they say about Vicksburg is tremendously important. It is what encourages others to come and see Vicksburg for themselves.” At least four boats are scheduled to dock in Vicksburg on Nov. 14, which will be the largest confluence thus far. City officials are organizing events and logistics to welcome the visitors. The Vicksburg Police Department will work with the Main Street program, a community organization for the historic downtown district, to organize bus traffic. Serrat said his office has worked with the Carl Small Town Center at Mississippi State University to improve the visitor arrival area.

High school senior answers ‘here’ on roll call for 13 years STARKVILLE — A senior at Starkville High School is on track to graduate with a 13-year record of perfect attendance. Jackson Rosinski hasn’t missed a single day of school since starting kindergarten, the Commercial Dispatch reported. That is nearly 2,400 days of hitting the books without a sick day — or a skip day. The 17-year-old said he never set a goal of perfect attendance. It just happened. “Some days, schooling is just something you don’t want to do,” he said. “But I always push it to the side because, once you get there, it’s OK.” His parents, David and Nadine Rosinski, said their son has been healthy, and everyone in the family likes order and routine. The only close call happened one day when Nadine had a flat tire. A neighbor stepped in and took her son to school. “After the first five years, he got a plaque for perfect attendance,” Nadine Rosinski said. “Then, he got another one after the next five years. It just kept going. There wasn’t a reason he should miss school and

Health Department: Second child dies from flu in 2017 JACKSON — State health officials say a south Mississippi child has died of influenza — the second pediatric flu death of the year. The Health Department released information about the death Tuesday. The first death was in the central part of the state in January. Cities and details were not disclosed. Mississippi started reporting statistics about pediatric influenza deaths during the 2007-08 flu season. Since then, 16 people younger than 18 have died of the flu, including the two this year. The state does not track the number of flu deaths for adults. Dr. Paul Byers, the state epidemiologist, says the typical peak flu season in the state has passed, but the illness can occur at any time of the year. Byers says vaccination is the best way to prevent infection.

Police: Man told friends he set his girlfriend on fire GAUTIER — Police say a 56-year-old man who is charged with killing his live-in girlfriend told people he set her on fire in the woods behind a church. The burned body of 37-year-old Amanda Hicks was found March 18 behind the Pine Grove United Methodist Church in coastal Mississippi’s Jackson County. Her body was identified by dental records. The Sun Herald reports James Vanlaningham is charged with first-degree murder. He appeared in court Monday and is being held without bail. The case will go to a grand jury. It was not immediately clear whether he is represented by an attorney. Police Sgt. Nick Crocker says Vanlaningham told friends he set Hicks on fire a month before her remains were found. Crocker says the couple had a history of domestic violence.

Argument over flashlight leads to fatal stabbing MOSELLE — Authorities have arrested a man they say fatally stabbed another man during a fight over a flashlight. WDAM reports 25-year-old Matthew Lee Phillips of Seminary has been charged with murder in the stabbing death of 40-year-old Joseph Stringer on Friday in Jones County. Officials say Stringer was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say Phillips fled the scene, leading police on an 11-hour search. Jones County Sheriff Alex Hodge says they were fighting over a flashlight Stringer had taken from Phillips. Hodge says they’ve had altercations before and there was some alcohol involved. Phillips says the killing was selfdefense and Stringer had sent him to the hospital before. It’s unclear if Phillips has an attorney.

Ethan Davis were specifically Construction students, while Bailey Hopkins was a Metal Fabrication student. “Taking part in this pilot dual credit program with NEMCC, I feel can only be a win-win situation for our students,” said Jennifer Koon, ACTC Counselor. “Research concludes that dual enrollment/dual credit programs are associated with positive outcomes on high school graduation and college enrollment rates, college grade point averages and progress toward college completion.” NEMCC Associate Vice-President Jason Mattox said it was a good time to be able to oﬀer the dual enrollment for Alcorn County students. “Industrial Maintenance is one of our largest programs and this is a freshman level course. It gives the students the opportunity to get their feet wet with the college experience,” said Mattox. The students themselves appeared to take pride in their part of the inaugural program. “I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and for what NEMCC has done for us,” said Hopkins. “I really enjoy Construction class. Learning a trade is a very valuable asset. My favorite part of the class is the SkillsUSA competitions,” said Davis. “I’m glad we are receiving dual credit toward college and a national certification.” Dual credit students are those who are enrolled in college level courses during their high school day and there are requirements before a student can enter the program.

“Industrial Maintenance is one of our largest programs and this is a freshman level course. It gives the students the opportunity to get their feet wet with the college experience.” Jason Mattox NEMCC associate vice-president Requirements for dual credit are: Completed NEMCC applicationMust have an overall 3.0 GPAOfficial Letter of Approval from the Guidance Counselor/ PrincipalOfficial Partial High School TranscriptACT scores are requiredAll educators involved expressed the value of the unique program as it introduces the students to college and brings the reality of life after high school into sharper focus. “I appreciate NEMCC, especially Jason Mattox and his staff, for their willingness to work with us to assist our students in making a smooth transition into post-secondary education,” said ACTC Director Rodney Hopper. “I think the experience of participating and completing a dual credit CTE course through NEMCC will help the student build confidence to pursue further post-secondary opportunities. We look forward to working with Mr. Mattox and NEMCC, as we continue to explore options that will help our students find opportunities in the workforce.”

LUNCH CONTINUED FROM 1A

guardian of a child does not provide payment for a child’s lunch, the child is never refused a lunch. The policy explains federal regulations require reconciled accounts by the end of the school term. Any outstanding debts are paid by the individual schools, which “is causing a burden on each school’s operating funds,” the policy states. Applications for free and reduced lunch can be obtained at any time at the schools or at the district oﬃce. Online applications are also accepted. All information collected remains confidential. In other news: • Roof project bills were paid earlier this month by school board oﬃcials. “The roofs look really good. I’m well pleased,” Mitchell said. “The repairs have fixed all the

leaks we previously had.” The district paid more than $111,000 to Midwestern Commercial Roofers to repair roofs on school buildings on the Kossuth and Alcorn Central campus The district also recently accepted two low bids for more roof work to be completed at Kossuth. Midwestern Commercial Roofers won the bid of $21,720 for Kossuth High School gym locker rooms and $26,270 for Kossuth Elementary School pre-k building. • The board recently accepted two donations. Morden Woodmen has awarded a grant to Kossuth Middle School and Alcorn Central Middle School. KMS has received $500 for beatification of the campus, while ACMS was given $400 in matching funds for the football program. • A handful of resigna-

tions and retirements and one hire were approved. The board okayed the certified retirements of Alcorn Central High School teacher Katriena Burgess, district Special Services Director Stephanie Clausel and ACHS teacher/ coach Charlette Foster.

Corinth Local teen clothing store to close

Today is Wednesday, April 19, the 109th day of 2017. There are 256 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History On April 19, 1967, Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon (at that time, a men-only event) under an official number by registering without mentioning her gender; by her own estimate, she finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes. (Bobbi Gibb, running unofficially for the second time, finished in 3:27:17.)

On this date In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces. In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.” In 1977, the Supreme Court, in Ingraham v. Wright, ruled 5-4 that even severe spanking of schoolchildren by faculty members did not violate the Eighth Amendment ban against cruel and unusual punishment. In 1989, 47 sailors were killed when a gun turret exploded aboard the USS Iowa in the Caribbean. (The Navy initially suspected that a dead crew member had deliberately sparked the blast, but later said there was no proof of that.) In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed. In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.)

Teen clothing store rue21 will close its Corinth store in the coming months as the company shutters more than 400 stores nationwide. The Pennsylvania-based retailer said the closures will help the company focus more on its online business. Also closing are the retailer’s locations in Oxford, Batesville, Brookhaven, Columbia, Flowood, Greenville, Greenwood, Hattiesburg, McComb, Meridian, Philadelphia and Vicksburg. The store is the latest in a round of local retail closures that have included Kmart, Goody’s and JCPenny.

Tippah County Sheriff’s department investigating 2 homicides TIPPAH COUNTY — The Tippah County Sheriff’s Department is investigating two homicides, according to WTVA-TV. The first one happened following a rap contest at the county fairgrounds. Sheriff investigators say a fight broke out inside the building Sunday morning and continued into the parking lot. That was when gunshots were fired. Tippah County Coroner Chris McCallister says Jachai Colvin, 20, of Ripley, was shot in the chest. He was rushed by a private vehicle to the Tippah County hospital. He later died around 1 a.m. from his injuries. The other homicide involved a man dying from a gunshot wound to the head. The coroner says Jeremy Lambert, 30, died Sunday at The Med in Memphis after being shot in the head April 12 in Walnut Lake. Investigators say Lambert was working on a vehicle at an automobile shop near his home at the time of the shooting. Investigators have been interviewing witnesses in both cases.

Booneville Corinth man charged with firearm, drug possession BOONEVILLE — A recent traffic stop made by Prentiss County Deputy Taylor Walker at the intersection of West College Street and Foster Park in Booneville resulted in an arrest. The driver was charged with several misdemeanor charges and the passenger, Micheal Jones, 29, of 1424 Cruise St., Corinth, was arrested after the

deputy discovered a handgun within his reach and it was determined that he was a convicted felon, Tolar said. Deputy Tyler Reese arrived on the scene and assisted with the arrest and transported Jones to the Prentiss County Jail. Corrections officers discovered that methamphetamine and marijuana was hidden on Jones once he was thoroughly searched at the jail. Jones was charged with possession of a controlled substance (meth and marijuana) within a correctional facility and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His bond was set on the felony charges at $10,000 and $2,000 on malicious mischief and was ultimately bonded on April 3. It was later determined Jones was under supervision of the Mississippi Department of Corrections and bond was revoked. He was transported to Rankin County. A detainer will be placed on him when he is released.

under way following the devotion at around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The event will be held at Rafter G Arena. The arena is located at 252 Matlock Lane in Ramer. “I had planned on capping the event,” said Griswell. “But I thought that might keep the ones God was sending from coming.” Griswell would like to do the roping event more than once a year. “It gets so hot that we aren’t able to do much from June to October,” he said. “But I would like to do two or three a year.” The idea came to Griswell after hearing a sermon by Johnson. “I remember the sermon being about using the talents you have to reach people,” he said. “I am using what I have for God and I hope this is a witness for those who come to rope.”

Tishomingo County

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. — The Walgreens Customer Call Center at Southgate Mall is in the process of hiring approximately 140 employees, a figure that will boost employment to 640, report the TimesDaily. Tina Cofield, human resource manager for the call center, said the company is pleased with the employee base the Shoals is providing for the 24/7 operations. Customer-service jobs start at $10.50 an hour and include full benefits, she said. The company already has started the hiring process, and hopes to have the 140 additions on board by the end of July, Cofield said. The Muscle Shoals location was selected in 2004 from 3,000 communities that initially were surveyed, officials said. Walgreens completed a 15,000-square-foot expansion in 2013 that brought the center’s size to 62,000 square feet. That $3.9 million project added 189 seats. Mayor David Bradford said Walgreens officials have spoken highly of the employment base in the Shoals. Forrest Wright, president of the Shoals Economic Development Authority, said the expansion makes a statement about those at the call center, as well as the Shoals and state in general. Wright said anyone interested in applying can do so at jobs. walgreens.com. Greg Canfield, secretary of the Alabama Department of

School district begins its iPad rollout TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A 1-to-1 iPad plan will roll out at Tishomingo County School District campuses in the coming weeks. Reports are before the school year finishes teachers at several levels will receive iPad training some from Apple and some from Northeast Mississippi Community College. Estimated roll out date is fall break for ninth through twelfth grade students. Teachers will receive iPads before that time to prepare curriculum.

Woman gets 5 years; stole from woman with dementia SALTILLO — A judge sentenced a woman from Saltillo to five years in prison after she was found guilty of stealing thousands of dollars from a woman with dementia, reported WTVA-TV. Dorothy Whaley, 66, was sentenced last Wednesday by Judge Thomas Gardner in Lee County Circuit Court. This came after a jury convicted her of embezzlement in November. Whaley was working as a caretaker of the woman. State prosecutors say Whaley teamed up with her daughter to steal approximately $162,000 from the woman’s checking accounts and retirement savings. The Mississippi attorney general’s office says Whaley also quitclaimed two of the victim’s properties to herself. Those properties have a combined value of around $200,000. The two were arrested in February 2014. Besides the prison time, Whaley must return the $162,000 she embezzled, and pay $1,000 in fines, $200 for investigative costs and $100 to the Mississippi Crime Victim Compensation Fund. Whaley’s daughter, April Whaley, pleaded guilty last year to exploitation of a vulnerable person. She was sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay $33,000 in restitution.

Tupelo Human remains found; sent to crime lab TUPELO — Officials hope the state crime lab will be able to determine the age and sex of human remains found Saturday evening east of Saltillo. The remains were discovered off a field road off County Road 2350 around 6 p.m. Saturday night. Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said the remains were sent off to the state crime lab Sunday afternoon. “We recovered a good bit of the remains, along with other items related to the body,” Johnson said. “We found about 50 percent, I would guess, but we found several key items. The skull is still intact with teeth and some hair. We also found the pelvis (which could help experts determine the sex of the victim). ...” The remains were heavily decomposed and had been scattered by animals.

Corinth, Miss.

Reform the tax code now! Thanks to the beneficence of the federal government (and the calendar), we Americans had until midnight on April 18 to file our income taxes. It’s too bad filing taxes wasn’t an easier process. President Trump has pledged to reform our tax code, which, to most people, currently reads like a foreign language. Trump said tax reform would be a top priority for his administration, but he is up against powerful lobbyists working for the tax preparation industry and also charitable and other Cal organizations who want to Thomas keep things just as they are, since some donors would be Columnist less likely to contribute if they lose their ability to claim deductions on their taxes. Does anyone believe this tax code language is something we should maintain? “Enter 6 percent of the smaller of line 40 or the value of your Archer MSAs on Dec. 31, 2015, including 2015 contributions made in 2016. Include this amount on Form 1040, line 58A or Form 1040NR, line 56B.” This little gem is in T.R. Reid’s book “A Fine Mess,” a work about our tax system that should raise the ire of any taxpayer not already irate. Business Insider calculates that 31 countries have a simpler tax code than the United States. Estonia ranks first in simplicity. Estonia! The federal government collected record amounts of individual income taxes and payroll taxes through the first six months of fiscal 2017, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement published by CNS News. Through March, CNS’ Terence P. Jeﬀrey reports, “the federal government collected approximately $695,391,000,000 in individual income taxes. That is about $7,387,280,000 more than the $688,003,720,000 in individual income taxes (in constant 2017 dollars) that the federal government collected in the first six months of fiscal 2016. “The federal government also collected $547,491,000,000 in Social Security and other payroll taxes during the first six months of fiscal 2017. That is about $2,731,820,000 more than the $544,491,000,000 in Social Security and other payroll taxes (in constant 2017 dollars) that the government collected in the first six months of fiscal 2016.” After all that revenue collection (and there is much more, as every taxpayer knows who purchases any product or service, from your telephone bill, to a ticket on a commercial airline), the Treasury still ran a deficit of $526,855,000,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2017. As Ronald Reagan said, the reason we have a deficit (and a debt approaching $20 trillion) “is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.” In a recent interview on NPR’s “Fresh Air” program with Terry Gross, T.R. Reid said: “I was in the Netherlands on March 31 -- their tax day is April 1 -- talking to a manager. He makes about $200,000 a year. He has a whole panoply of investments, two kids in private schools, two mortgages. He’d have to fill out 12 forms in the United States. “And I said, Michael, how do you do your taxes? They’re due tomorrow. He says, well, I pop a beer. I go online and see if the government’s got the numbers right. And if they do, I hit a button. Takes five minutes. He says, but you know, sometimes I start checking the numbers. (If) you start checking the numbers, it could take almost half an hour just to pay your taxes. He was outraged.” The U.S. government has all of our income information (W2s and 1099s). Most of us have a pattern of deductions, from mortgage interest, to charitable giving. Government computers could do the work and send us a bill for what we owe. We could check their numbers, add or subtract from them as warranted and be done with it, instead of enduring an expensive (if we must hire a tax preparer, as I do) and time-consuming experience no one enjoys. Instead, taxpayers struggle to decipher the undecipherable while politicians and lobbyists, who donate to their campaigns, continue to block comprehensive tax reform.

People are out of step with Legislature OXFORD — The press and the public are out of step. We keep thinking the Legislature deals with thorny topics such as budgets and taxation, education, highways, crime and punishment, health care, economic development. We seem not to notice the priorities have shifted to firing squads, who can refuse baking a cake for whom, being armed in church and resolving the looming crisis of people using the wrong restrooms. That being the case, some topics for the 2018 session: • Paint commercials. Ban them. Regardless of the brand, the ads are the same. Happy family. Mom gazing at a wall. Color selected at store. Mom and family cheerfully apply new hue, not spilling a drop on themselves, the cat, the floor or the furniture. Mom and family sitting in cozy chairs in an inviting room. That’s not how DIY painting works. Prep. Lots of prep. Finally, a tray is filled and a roller loaded. After the first pass, Mom looks and says, “I’m not so sure about this color.” Dad stops, shoulders droop, cat sniﬀs at the paint tray. Mom says “Well, I really have to see how the whole room looks befoçre I de-

cide.” Dad shrugs, goes back to rolling. When finished, Mom looks at ceiling, Charlie announces it Mitchell looks dingy. It should Columnist be illegal to depict painting as fast or easy or neat. • Hamburgers. Regulate them. A hamburger is beef, bun, condiments of choice, pickle, onion, tomato (see following) and iceberg lettuce. There is no reason or justification for adding bacon, cheese (American, feta, Gorganzola, cheddar or asiago), a fried egg, cilantro, arugula, cinnamon, peppermints or Hershey bars. People who engage in such balkanization are leading unfulfilled lives and may be in need of counseling. The Legislature needs to protect these people from themselves. • Tomatoes. Require truthful signage. A tomato is a luscious round fruit (not a vegetable) purchased in season from a roadside stand, a farmer’s market or plucked from a vine in a back yard. Those pinkish orbs in big-store produce sections are labeled “tomato,” and it’s a flagrant lie. Bite one of

them or the cardboard tray in which they come. The taste is exactly the same. • Service charges. Disclose them. Mississippi has had a sales tax since 1933, so we’re long accustomed to the difference between paying an advertised price and an actual price. The first sales tax (also the first in the nation) was one-half percent. The state actually issued tokens because the nation had no half-penny currency. About 30 years ago, the Mississippi basic rate was increased to 7 percent. Local, special addons increase the levy in many places, but they are accepted without any ruckus, too. Service charges are another thing. They are, in essence, built-in tips akin to those imposed by restaurants in Europe. Buy a $40 cell phone or TV plan. The bill comes for $63. This should not be legal. • Change the cycle of flowers that wilt too soon. Clearly, this may be under control of a higher authority. That said, it seems something is wrong when jonquils and daﬀodils and the blossoms on Japanese magnolias are there and gone in February. Then March comes with azaleas, dogwoods and, most shamefully, tulips. One day tulips burst forth in radiant

colors and the next day the wind has reduced them to bare green stems sticking up like Martian antennae. In a just world, these images we associate with spring would last 50 or 51 weeks each year. Then plants, like people, could then take a week or two oﬀ. Seems fair. • Require decipherable medical bills. There has been some improvement by some hospitals and clinics. Still, months and months of mystery mail (demanding immediate payment) can follow getting a shot for poison ivy and be far more irritating than the poison ivy. Why? No one seems to know, which may be the reason health care is so expensive. If the cost of car repairs — or any other transaction — were half as inexplicable as visiting a clinic, more people would walk. Now that we know the Legislature is not interested in bold, sweeping, visionary action to right the ship of state, perhaps we should each come up with our own list of peeves and get them on the calendar.

Three presidents were born in 1946 With the inauguration of Donald Trump this year, we have now had, for the first time in our history, three American presidents who were born in the same year. There have been three pairs of presidents born in the same year -- the very dissimilar John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, in 1767; Richard Nixon and his surprise successor, Gerald Ford, in 1913; and Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, in 1924. Now we’ve had three presidents who were born in calendar year 1946: Bill Clinton (in August), George W. Bush (in July) and Donald Trump (in June). Note that all three were born just a little more than nine months after V-J Day. (For younger readers, that was the end of World War II.) The U.S. Census Bureau considers 1946 to be the first year of the baby boom, a remarkable and unpredicted sudden surge in births in the United States and numerous other countries. It continued until 1964, which means Barack Obama, who was born in 1961, is also a part of the baby-boom generation. The leading edge of the baby-boom generation, the oldest members of an enormous age cohort, has made its mark on American life. Growing up in an era of postwar conformity, they insisted on doing their

own thing. They listened to and played rock ’n’ roll, the first adolescent music genre. They Michael participated Barone in student riots. Their Columnist high-school class of 1964 had the highest test scores in history. Compared with their parents, they attended college more and served in the military less. All seven presidents born between 1908 and 1924 were, in some form, in the military during World War II. Two of the 1946 presidents never were in the military at all, and one served in the Texas Air National Guard. Of course, each was different. Bill Clinton was a political prodigy, with the capacity to understand public policy and its political implications seemingly oﬀ the top of his head. He started his political career early, running the 1972 George McGovern campaign in Texas and almost upsetting a Republican congressman in 1974. In 1976, he was elected Arkansas attorney general, and in 1979, at 32, he became the state’s governor. Clinton had luck, and with his dazzling political skills, he took advantage of it. When his career seemed

to be winding down -- he was renominated and reelected by lackluster margins in 1990 -- he took a chance on running for president against an incumbent who had started the year with 91 percent approval. That guaranteed weak Democratic competition, and Ross Perot’s surprise candidacy, which dislodged George H.W. Bush, and surprise (and temporary) withdrawal boosted Clinton. As president, Clinton had his stumbles and unique disgrace. He was disorganized and undisciplined, but he was also constantly adapting and revising, rewriting State of the Union addresses on his ride to the Capitol. The public mostly approved. George W. Bush was, in some ways, the opposite. After an unsuccessful House race in 1978, he mostly laid aside politics. After his father lost to Clinton, he seems to have believed that God put him in the way of running for president, and he strove to tutor himself to do the best job possible. His strength was steadfastness, his weakness (as always, a strength overdone) stubbornness. He was agonizingly slow on midcourse correction, notably on Iraq but also on Social Security reform. Bush’s political strategy, designed to keep Texas from being the next Califor-

nia, worked, but it gave him only small electoral vote majorities. When his job approval dropped, between 2006 and 2008, his party took the worst thumpings it’d had in 25 years. Donald Trump’s strategy followed not George W. Bush’s but Ross Perot’s. He bet that his trademark stands on trade and immigration (diﬀerent from every president’s since Dwight Eisenhower) -- though costing him votes of college graduates in California, Arizona, Texas and Georgia -- would gain him enough votes from non-college-educated people to win. The bet paid oﬀ. Trump did worse than George W. Bush had done in those states, but it cost him zero electoral votes. Swings by non-college-educated whites in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Maine gave him 100 electoral votes twice won by Barack Obama. Was that shrewd insight or blind luck? Either way, it perhaps owed something to Perot (born in 1930), who helped make each of these boomers president.

Landscape plan helps guide spring shopping One of my favorite things to do in the spring and early summer is visit my local garden centers. At this time of year, the sheer number of flowering annuals can easily result in sensory overload. I wander through the aisles and benches almost in a hypnotic trance, and I always leave with a vehicle full of colorful beauty. By the time I get home, the color high has started to wear oﬀ, and I have to decide where to plant the new arrivals. Over the last couple of years, and after many conversations with garden and landscape experts, I’ve decided to actually have a plan for my garden and landscape. And while I fall oﬀ the wagon from time to time, I nearly always go plant shopping with this plan in mind. Let’s use ground-cover plants for an example. Many gardeners, myself included, have large areas that need some kind of colorful ground cover. My go-to choice

in these situations is ornamental sweet potato, which is great for massing and available in a wide variety Gary of colors and texBachman tures. Bright Ideas Southern Gardening Lime has brilliant, yellowgreen leaves that grow to only about 10 inches by 24 inches. Bright Ideas Rusty Red has a similar growth habit, with foliage displaying antique and chartreuse colors with red veins. A dramatic choice is Sweet Caroline Bewitched, which has attractive, heartshaped leaves with spiny margins. The leaf colors are a deep purple and black that have the darkest hues when grown in the full sun. These are a few of my favorites. For good ground cover with colorful flowers, here are some great choices that thrive in our hot Mississippi summers. Purs-

The ornamental sweet potato is a go-to choice for large areas that need some kind of colorful ground cover. It is a great plant for massing and comes in a wide variety of colors and textures. lane is a low-growing, succulent-looking annual with purplish-green stems and bright green leaves. These plants grow up to 8 inches tall and spread to 18 inches, so space them 12-15 inches apart in the landscape.

Purslanes like full sun. I find it interesting that the flowers will close on cloudy days and when the plant is under stress. They have even been observed closing in late afternoon and early evening.

For a little more colorful plant, the tried-and-true vinca rarely disappoints. Both the vinca and purslane produce masses of 1-inch flowers. Once established, both thrive on neglect and last until first frost. Flowering vinca is a versatile, full-sun plant that looks great mass planted in the landscape. When buying flowering vinca varieties at your local garden center, select plants with bright green foliage. This foliage will develop into the perfect background for the flowering show of white, pink, purple and red flowers. The garden center is fun place to go in the spring. But if you don’t want to impulsively buy the whole store, shop with a plan and only buy the plants that fill your needs.

Sanford to speak OXFORD — Otis Sanford, a long-time columnist for the Commercial Appeal, will be a guest at the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics on Monday, April 24, at 6 p.m. to talk about the racial conflict and transition that has taken place in Memphis politics, from the time of E.H. Crump’s rule of the city in the first half of the 20 th century to the modern era where African-Americans exert power. Sanford has written about the subject in his new book, “From Boss Crump to King Willie: How Race Changed Memphis Politics.” He will be joined in the discussion by two other long-time political observers, Charles Overby, chair-

man of the Overby Center, and Overby Fellow Curtis Wilkie, a native of Corinth. The program at the Overby Center Auditorium is free and open to the public. A reception will be held following the event, and arrangements have been made for parking in the lot adjacent to the auditorium. The center is on the Ole Miss campus. Sanford, who grew up near Como, a north Mississippi town in the shadow of Memphis, is a 1975 graduate of the University of Mississippi where he majored in journalism. He served on the staﬀ of major newspapers in Jackson, Pittsburgh and Detroit before settling at the Commercial Appeal, where he eventually became managing editor.

While the museum has raised funds for the project, it will take more, he explained. After discussion of how to best to handle the needs, CACVB board members approved to match funds dollar for dollar up to $16,500, if raised by the end of the calendar year. The match would be for funds raised from now until the end of the year. If the museum is still short of the needed funds to undertake the project, then the board agreed to “revisit” how they may help during the budget talks for their next fiscal year.

In other CACVB business: CACVB Executive Director Christy Burns said the design for the Shiloh Kiosk has been finalized and it is now being put together. The Concert in the Park date was decided on July 22, but there may be a scheduling conflict. They are looking at setting it back further into the fall, when temperatures are cooler.

TOKYO — From two continents, top Trump administration oﬃcials warned Tuesday that North Korea’s latest failed missile launch was a reckless act of provocation and assured allies in Asia that the United States was ready to work to achieve a peaceful denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. While Defense Secretary Jim Mattis denounced North Korea’s weapons test as he began a Mideast tour, Vice President Mike Pence oﬀered support to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo amid a trip dominated by concerns about the rogue state’s nuclear intentions. “We appreciate the challenging times

in which the people of Japan live with increasing provocations from across the Sea of Japan,” Pence said after arriving from Seoul for talks with Abe. “We are with you 100 percent.” At the outset of their meeting, Pence reiterated to Abe his statement in South Korea that the United States has run out of patience with Pyongyang’s moves. “While all options are on the table,” Pence said, “President Trump is determined to work closely with Japan, with South Korea, with all our allies in the region, and with China” to resolve the problem. “We seek peace always as a country, as does Japan, but as you know and the United States knows, peace comes through strength and we will stand strongly with Japan and strongly with our allies for a peace and security in this region,” Pence added. Said Abe: “It goes without saying that it is a matter of paramount importance for us to seek diplomatic eﬀorts as well peaceable settlements of the issue.”

of hand and power tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc., Trump signed an order that that asks the government to propose new rules and changes that will stop what he called abuses in a visa program used by U.S. technology companies. Dubbed “Buy American and Hire American,” the directive follows a series of recent Trump reversals on economic policies. “We are going to defend our workers, protect our jobs and finally put Amer-

ica first,” Trump declared, standing in front of an American flag fashioned out of wrenches. Much like some prior orders, however, Trump’s executive action Tuesday essentially looks for detailed reports rather than making decisive changes. In this case, the reports are about granting visas for highly skilled foreign workers and ensuring that government purchasing programs buy American made goods as required by law.

Some vets can go to CVS ‘MinuteClinics’ BY HOPE YEN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Some ailing veterans can now use their federal health care benefits at CVS “MinuteClinics” to treat minor illnesses and injuries, under a pilot program announced Tuesday by the Department of Veterans Aﬀairs. The new program, currently limited to the Phoenix area, comes three years after the VA faced allegations of chronically long wait times at its centers, including its Phoenix facility, which treats about 120,000 veterans. The Phoenix pilot program is a test-run by VA Secretary David Shulkin who is working on a nationwide plan to reduce veterans’ wait times. Veterans would not be bound by current restrictions under the VA’s Choice program, which limits outside care to those who have been waiting more than 30 days for an appointment or have to drive more than 40 miles to a facility. Instead, Phoenix VA nurses staﬃng the medical center’s help line will be able to refer veterans

to MinuteClinics for government-paid care when “clinically appropriate.” Shulkin has made clear he’d like a broader collaboration of “integrated care” nationwide between the VA and private sector in which veterans have wider access to private doctors. But, he wants the VA to handle all scheduling and “customer service” — something that veterans groups generally support but government auditors caution could prove unwieldy and expensive. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump plans to sign legislation to temporarily extend the $10 billion Choice program until its money runs out, pending the administration’s plan due out by fall. That broader plan would have to be approved by Congress. “Our number one priority is getting veterans’ access to care when and where they need it,” said Baligh Yehia, the VA’s deputy undersecretary for health for community care. “The launch of this partnership will enable VA to provide more care for veterans in their neighborhoods.”

Man gets 25 years in missing boy case NEW YORK — Almost four decades after firstgrader Etan Patz set out for school and ended up at the heart of one of America’s most influential missing-child cases, a former store clerk convicted of killing him was sentenced to at least 25 years in prison. In a few angry words, Etan’s father condemned the convicted man. “Pedro Hernandez, after all these years, we finally know what dark secret you had locked in your heart,” Stan Patz said. “I will never forgive you. The god you pray to will never forgive you. You are the monster in your nightmares.” His wife, Julie Patz, wiped tears from her eyes as she witnessed the culmination of a long quest to hold someone accountable for their son’s disappearance. The case affected police practices, parenting and the nation’s consciousness of missing children. Hernandez, 56, didn’t look at the Patzes, speak or react as he got the maximum allowable sentence: 25 years to life in prison, meaning he won’t be eligible for parole until he has served the quartercentury.

Climate pact meeting canceled WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is still deliberating whether to keep the U.S. in an international agreement to reduce climate-warming carbon emissions, even though he has called climate change a hoax. The White House postponed a meeting Tuesday where top aides were to have hashed out differences on what to do about the non-binding international deal forged in Paris in December 2015. The agreement allowed rich and poor countries to set their own goals to reduce carbon dioxide and went into effect last November, after the U.S., China and other countries ratified it. Not all of Trump’s advisers share his skep-

tical views on climate change — or the Paris pact. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said at his Senate confirmation hearing in January that he supports staying in the deal. However, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, said last week that the Paris pact “is a bad deal for America.” Officials had planned to discuss options on Tuesday, with the goal of providing a recommendation to Trump, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity despite the president’s criticism of the use of anonymous sources. Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders blamed the postponement of the meeting on scheduling conflicts among advisers who were expected to attend. Some of them, she said, wanted to accompany the president on his trip to Wisconsin on Tuesday, and the White House decided to reschedule its internal climate talks. Trump pledged during the presidential campaign to pull out of the Paris accord, but has wavered on the issue since he won the presidency.

Pence to Japan: U.S. supports you TOKYO — From two continents, top Trump administration officials warned Tuesday that North Korea’s latest failed missile launch was a reckless act of provocation and assured allies in Asia that the United States was ready to work to achieve a peaceful denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. While Defense Secretary Jim Mattis denounced North Korea’s weapons test as he began a Mideast tour, Vice President Mike Pence offered support to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo amid a trip dominated by concerns about the rogue state’s nuclear intentions. “We appreciate the challenging times in which the people of Japan live with increasing provocations from across the Sea of Ja-

Retailers struggle with Trump brand NEW YORK — Retailers are finding themselves walking a fine line when dealing with the politically charged Ivanka Trump brand, which is stamped on everything from pants to shoes to handbags. Carry the items and get grief from shoppers opposed to President Donald Trump and his daughter’s role in the White House. Pull the brand because it’s not selling, and risk facing the ire of Trump supporters and becoming a Twitter target. Many retailers are opting for a Switzerland strategy: Avoid taking sides while trying to do what’s best for business. “No choice is a good choice because they are going to upset lots of shoppers no matter which way they go,” said Allen Adamson, founder of the firm BrandSimpleConsulting. “That’s why they’re a deer in headlights. In this retailing environment, no one wants to give shoppers another reason not to come to the store.” The latest example of how fraught the situation is? After Ivanka Trump’s branded diaper bags and other baby products disappeared from Bed Bath & Beyond’s Buy Buy Baby’s website in late March, a customer representative inaccurately told a shopper the chain was no longer carrying the items. That led to backlash on social media. In response, Bed, Bath & Beyond clarified on its Facebook page that it will carry Ivanka Trump products in some Buy Buy Baby stores.

Regions Bank expands operation HATTIESBURG — Regions Bank announced Monday that is will build a 75,000-square-foot operations center that could open by early 2019 in Hattiesburg. Regions said it will create 91 new jobs, bringing its total employment to 420 in the Hattiesburg area. Employees will move from three current locations in Hattiesburg into the new center, which will house a mortgage division serving customers in the Southeast, Texas and the Midwest. “Currently, we have people spread across several floors in three separate buildings downtown,” Morgan McCarty, mortgage servicing division manager for Regions in Hattiesburg, said in a news release. “Our new facility will bring everyone together under one roof in a workspace that’s designed to improve communications and efficiencies across our departments.” Regions — based in Birmingham, Alabama — said it is investing $23 million in the project, with construction beginning late this year. The state of Mississippi is providing $1 million for site preparation. Hattiesburg will repair and repave a road leading to the site and contribute $167,000 for water and sewer improvements. The city and Lamar County are providing property tax abatements for 10 years, which has an estimated value of $3 million, according to Mississippi Development Authority, the state agency that seeks job creation.

Kenneth Howard and Michael Smith were shot to death April 22, 2015. District Attorney Dewayne Richardson says 24-year-old Marquel Magnum pleaded guilty last week to second-degree murder in the killing of Howard. Magnum received a 40-year prison sentence. Last July, 23-year-old Kadarius Jackson, was sentenced to 35 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to killing Michael Smith.

White squirrel attracts attention OCEAN SPRINGS — A rare white squirrel is attracting attention on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Sun Herald reports that members of a photography club filmed it a few months ago at Little Children’s Park in Ocean Springs. Mayor Connie Moran says she and her husband spotted the squirrel there last week. Moran says it has dark eyes, so she doesn’t believe it is albino. Mark LaSalle with the Pascagoula River Audubon Center says if it were albino, it would have pink eyes, and pink skin would be visible under its fur.

Utility CEO: Coal plants not reopening The CEO of the nation’s biggest public utility says the agency isn’t going to reopen coalfired power plants under President Donald Trump. Tennessee Valley Authority CEO Bill Johnson said he thinks very little will change for the federal utility under Trump. Johnson says TVA’s retirement of coal plants

was the cheapest way to serve customers. He said natural gas prices, not regulation, devastated the coal industry. Trump, who has called for coal’s comeback, has begun repealing President Barack Obama-era regulations aimed at coal. By May, Trump can fill five of nine TVA board slots to establish a new majority. The U.S. Senate confirms them. Johnson said TVA hasn’t had direct discussions with the administration about the agency’s direction or been invited to meet top administration officials yet.

School board member defends vote timing NATCHEZ — A board member is defending the timing of a special election in the NatchezAdams School District. The Natchez Democrat reports that Phillip West says it’s important to pass a proposed $35 million bond issue as soon as possible. He says that will allow work to begin on school construction and renovation projects. Schools in the district are more than 50 years old, and West told county supervisors that the buildings need improvements in technology. The special election is scheduled for May 23, and West says it will cost the district about $20,000 to $30,000. Passing a bond issue requires at least 60 percent support. A local tax increase could be required, depending on the interest rate the district will pay for the long-term financing.
