Mental health services updates supervisors BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

County supervisors heard a talk about the latest happenings at Region IV Mental Health Services during their most recent session. Serving five counties, the agency has about 400 staﬀ members. “We’ve grown a lot in the last

several years,” said Executive Director Charlie Spearman. “I think within the next 60 to 90 days, we’re going to be adding another 25 to 30 employees to our payroll.” In the calendar year of 2016, Region IV served 10,564 clients in the five counties, with 33 percent of services rendered in Alcorn County.

Region IV’s $27 million budget includes about $3 million to operate the crisis intervention centers in Corinth and Batesville — facilities formerly run by the state. The 36-bed chemical dependency center on New Hope Drive houses one of Region

The Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter’s 2017 fundraiser calendars have been discounted, said Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner. “We have a very limited supply of calendars left and are ready to move them out as quickly as possible,” said Doehner. “The discounted price will hopefully entice some animal lovers in the community to purchase one.” Originally $10, the remaining calendars are on sale now for $5. Calendars are available for purchase at the shelter at 3825 Proper Street, the Crossroads Museum at 221 North Fillmore Street and online on the shelter’s Facebook Shop.

Easter offering stolen from church GREENWOOD — A church in the Mississippi Delta was robbed of its Easter offering. Greenwood police are investigating the burglary at West President Church of Christ. A cabinet was broken into, and about $600 in cash was taken the afternoon of Easter, April 16. One of the pastors, Mark Shiers, tells the Greenwood Commonwealth that a bag containing checks was dropped and retrieved, but the church lost its cash collection. He says he is grateful no one was hurt, and he hopes that whoever who took the money will find help, if they need it. Greenwood Police Chief Ray

Police: Facebook chat led deputies to body SAUCIER — A Saucier man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of his 75-year-old roommate after authorities say they were alerted to a Facebook conversation about the slaying. Media outlets report Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson said in a news release that 39-year-old Gabriel Benjamin Curtis was arrested Friday and charged murder in the death of Willis Cassidy Jr. Peterson says officers went to Curtis’s house after receiving a call from a Florida resident who claimed that during a Facebook video-chat Curtis revealed he killed his roommate. Authorities say Curtis admit-

ted to slaying his roommate and led investigators to a wooded area in Jackson County, where they found the body.

The name of the child wasn’t immediately released. No charges have been filed at this time.

Child dies of apparent self-inflicted gunshot

Police: Man extradited in body-in-freezer case

VICKSBURG — A Vicksburg toddler has died as a result of what appears to be a selfinflicted gunshot wound. The Clarion-Ledger reports that the 3-year-old died Wednesday afternoon. Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey says that while it appears the child shot himself, the case is still under investigation. Police Chief Warren Armstrong says it appears the boy was handling the gun while his father was asleep and his mother was at work. A teenage uncle was also at the home. He appears to have been asleep as well.

LATIMER — A man arrested in the death of a 65-year-old man found in the freezer at a home in Latimer has been returned to Jackson County. The Sun Herald reports Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell said in a news release that 40-year-old Thomas Elliot Stafford was extradited to Jackson County on Friday after being arrested by U.S. Marshall on March 25 in Portland, Oregon. Stafford has been charged with capital murder in the death of 65-year-old Jerry Floyd Kirkendall. Ezell says Kirkendall was strangled and

his body was found in the freezer at the home he was renting in Latimer on March 20. He says Kirkendall was not from Mississippi, but lived with Stafford for a short time.

Gaming license fee waived for disabled vets JACKSON — More military veterans will soon be able to hunt or fish for free at certain events in Mississippi. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2271 on April 13, and it becomes law July 1. It says no license will be required for hunting or fishing at events where participation is limited to veterans with disabilities caused by combat. The veterans must have been honorably discharged, and they can live in Mississippi or come from out of state.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, April 25, the 115th day of 2017. There are 250 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 25, 1507, a world map produced by German cartographer Martin Waldseemueller contained the first recorded use of the term “America,” in honor of Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci.

On this date In 1862, during the Civil War, a Union fleet commanded by Flag Officer David G. Farragut captured the city of New Orleans. In 1915, during World War I, Allied soldiers invaded the Gallipoli Peninsula in an unsuccessful attempt to take the Ottoman Empire out of the war. In 1945, during World War II, U.S. and Soviet forces linked up on the Elbe River, a meeting that dramatized the collapse of Nazi Germany’s defenses. Delegates from some 50 countries gathered in San Francisco to organize the United Nations. In 1959, the St. Lawrence Seaway opened to shipping. In 1964, vandals sawed off the head of the “Little Mermaid” statue in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1974, the “Carnation Revolution” took place in Portugal as a bloodless military coup toppled the Estado Novo regime. In 1983, 10 -year-old Samantha Smith of Manchester, Maine, received a reply from Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov to a letter she’d written expressing her concerns about nuclear war; Andropov gave assurances that the Soviet Union did not want war, and invited Samantha to visit his country, a trip she made in July. In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed in orbit from the space shuttle Discovery. (It was later discovered that the telescope’s primary mirror was flawed, requiring the installation of corrective components.) In 2002, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of the Grammywinning trio TLC died in an SUV crash in Honduras.

Across the Region Iuka Man accused of running over wife IUKA — An Iuka man is behind bars after reportedly running over his wife during a domestic argument. Tyler Treadway, 30, of 15 County Road 156, was arrested April 19 and charged with aggravated domestic violence. The Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department responded to a 911 call of a woman hit by a vehicle on County Road 156. The victim said she and her husband were arguing and when he tried to leave, the truck tire ran over her. The woman was airlifted to the trauma center at Regional One in Memphis, Tennessee, with injuries to her back, hip and possibly sustained a broken pelvis. When arrested, Treadway admitted to the verbal argument and said his wife jumped in the back of the truck as he left. She got out and started banging on the driver’s window as he sped off. He said she was running beside the truck and then he saw her sitting down on the ground. He said he was unaware that he ran over her. The case will be presented to the next available grand jury.

Booneville Disabled vehicle stolen from Louisiana BOONEVILLE — A routine stop to check on a possibly disabled vehicle led to the arrest of two people on charges related to the theft of a vehicle. Prentiss County Deputy Wesley Graves stopped with the vehicle on U.S. Highway 45. The vehicle had its flashers on and appeared to be disabled. Graves noticed the vehicle had a temporary tag and ran the vehicle identification number which showed it was stolen from Livingston Parish in Louisiana. The occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody and a further search also turned up a rifle stolen from Dyersburg, Tenn. inside the car. Kevin Herbert Courtney, 46, and Angela Faye Courtney, 46, both of Neeley, Miss. were both charged with receiving stolen property. Kevin Courtney was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Bond was set for Kevin Courtney at $10,000. Angela

Courtney’s bond was set at $5,000. Both bonds were set by Justice Court Judge Angela Pounds. The case will be presented to the next grand jury. Deputy Aaron Stolz also assisted in the arrest.

Ripley Primary election scheduled for May 2 RIPLEY — The City of Ripley primary election is set for next week, according to the Southern Sentinal. While most citizens are aware of this upcoming general election, there are few who understand and know of the upcoming Primary election. Even more so, citizens do not understand that this election is a closed Primary election, in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party’s candidate for elected office to run in the General election. Voters will have to choose which party they would like to vote for and vote only for the chosen party’s candidates. City Clerk Lisa Mauney says that though it may seem “unfair” to have to choose between parties, she encourages citizens to exercise their right to vote. “A lot of people want to vote for candidates in both parties, but in this election you have to choose,” says Mauney. The deadline to register to vote in the primary election was on April 1. Registered voters should expect to choose between a Democratic or Republican ballot when voting in the primary election. If a Democratic ballot is chosen voters will be able to cast a vote for David Hurt for mayor; Gilroy Bails, Jr. and Joey Bryant for Alderman Ward 1; Rico McDonald and Homer Richardson for Alderman Ward 2; Jackie Lenell McKenzie for Alderman Ward 3; Stephen Freeman and Tony Rogers for Alderman Ward 4; and Jon Grisham for Alderman at Large; and Sallie M. Boyd, Janet Christian, Melinda Evans, Yadi Martin Harris, Linnie Selmer and Sallie A. Storey for Executive Committee. If a Republican ballot is chosen voters will be able to cast a vote for Chris Marsalis and Billy Rose for mayor; Ben Ridge for Alderman Ward 2; and James T. Allen, Kathy Balof, Wendy Bogue, Terry Davis, Lamon McClain and Jerry D. Reno for Executive Committee. The Primary election will be

on Tuesday, May 2 at Ripley Park Commission Gym. This year’s general election will be held on Tuesday, June 6. Citizens will vote for mayor, alderman and executive committee. In order to be able to vote in this year’s General election, you must be registered to vote by May 6. The deadline to register is noon and the City Clerk’s Office will be open from 8 to noon that day. The City Clerk’s Office will be open for absentee voters on April 22 and April 29 from 8 -noon. The deadline to receive an absentee ballot is April 29. All mail out ballots should be received by mail in the City Clerk’s office on May 1 by 5 p.m. For more information, please call City Clerk Lisa Mauney at 837-8578.

Tishomingo Alabama escapee captured in Belmont TISHOMINGO COUNTY — An Alabama inmate walked away from a work detail last week and was captured in Belmont this weekend. According to the Cullman County Sheriff’s Department, Christopher Williams was captured Saturday morning in Belmont. Itawamba County Sheriff Chris Dickinson says his department searched for an escapee Friday near noon without any luck. Itawamba County School District Superintendent Michael Nanney says Fairview Attendance Center was placed on a precautionary lockdown due to a reported police pursuit. However, the lockdown was only brief, said Nanney. The sheriff adds it’s not clear if the pursuit involving Belmont police ever happened or ever made it to Fairview.

Starkville Mississippi State to lead major drone research STARKVILLE (AP) — Mississippi State University officials say the school will lead a major research and development project involving drones. School officials say the U.S. Department of Homeland Security selected Mississippi as the new base of operations for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), commonly known as drones. The proposal was developed by the Mississippi Partnership,

led by MSU. School officials say the new demonstration range facility will use about 2,000 square miles of restricted airspace at altitudes up to 60,000 feet, primarily in southern and coastal Mississippi. Multiple sites will play a role in the testing, including Camp Shelby, the Stennis Space Center buffer zones, and Singing River Island. The demonstration range facility is expected to begin operations this fall.

Tupelo Pet Loss Support Group will meet TUPELO — The Tupelo Pet Loss Support Group will meet at 1 p.m. on May 20 at the Tupelo-Lee County Humane Society, 2400 S. Gloster Street. The guest speaker will be Doll Stanley, director of the Justice for Animals Campaign, In Defense of Animals. For more information, text or call 662-596 -5191.

Midway Needle Chasers Quilt Guild will host auction MIDWAY — The Tishomingo County Needle Chasers Quilt Guild will host their annual auction on Monday, May 1 at the Midway Community Center (the historic old school house) on Hwy. 364 just west of Highway 25. Each year members gather unwanted or duplicate quilting notions and tools, fabric (quilting and apparel), patterns, unfinished projects, magazines and books and bring these to be auctioned off as a ways and means project for the guild. Funds raised will help to defray the costs of the next Quilt Show to be held in September 2018. Some members may bring sewing machines they wish to sell separate from the auction. Members and guests may preview sale items from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at which time the auction will commence. The public is welcome and invited to join in this fun event. Anyone wishing to donate items may bring them to the building between 10 a.m. and noon the day of the auction or call a local Needle Chasers member. If you don’t know a member, post a message on the Needle Chasers Quilt Guild Facebook page or leave a message at 662- 424 -9665.

Corinth, Miss.

Report says Mississippi PERS funding insufficient JACKSON — A new report says even if Mississippi’s public employee pension system was meeting investment assumptions, governments still aren’t putting away enough money to down debt from previJeff Amy whittle ous pension underfunding. The study, released last week Columnist by the Pew Charitable Trusts, raises questions about the long-term course of the Public Employees Retirement System, though the system has enough money to pay years’ worth of benefits even if governments and employees didn’t put in another penny. “You’ve heard me say, and I still believe, we’re not in a crisis,” said outgoing PERS Executive Director Pat Robertson. “Are there concerns? Yes.” PERS covers state employees, public school teachers, city and county employees, and those who work for public universities and community colleges. The Pew report tries to measure whether contributions from employers and employees are enough to reduce the gap between assets and benefits owed if investment expectations are met. While 32 states did reduce that debt in 2015, the year the Pew report covers, Mississippi fell short, putting in only 97 percent of what’s needed. “Overall, states are still contributing less than they should be toward pensions,” David Draine, a senior researcher at Pew, told reporters on a conference call last week. That gap between assets and all benefits owed — the Mississippi plan’s unfunded liability — increased to $16 billion in 2015, in part because the plan lowered its assumed rate of return on investments to 7.75 percent a year, meaning the plan’s actuaries assume it will need larger contributions to make up the gap. The unfunded liability increased again to $16.8 billion in 2016, meaning PERS only has 60 percent of the money it needs to pay current and future benefits. Some observers of public pension systems find emphasis on paying down accumulated debt in pension systems misplaced, saying it’s an artificial crisis created by accounting rules. “Ultimately the best argument against the current rules is following these rules is not necessary to keep checks from bouncing,” wrote Tom Sgouros in a report for the Haas Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. PERS changed how it operates in 2011, trying to bring stability to how much it asked employers to pay. It locked in a contribution rate of 15.75 percent of payroll, aiming to use much of that money to chip away at its unfunded liability. The idea was by 2042, PERS would have enough assets to meet 80 percent of its total liabilities. But actuaries told the PERS board last year that it had fallen off track from meeting the goal, and current board policy calls for the board to mandate higher contribution levels from employers if the pension plan is off track for two years in a row. That may be easier said than done, as shown by experience with one of the smaller PERS funds. The board of the $312 million Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol Retirement System was supposed to mandate higher contributions from the Department of Public Safety this year, but the board agreed to put off that mandate until 2018. Robertson said there were concerns higher contributions could eat into the agency’s ability to provide services. That’s because the board can mandate higher contributions, but can’t force lawmakers to appropriate enough money to schools and agencies to cover costs. Robertson said she feared “legislative pushback” if higher contribution rates were mandated for the main fund. “I don’t think we can raise the contribution rate any higher than we are at 15 and threequarters,” she said. “It’s a pretty expensive plan for the employer.” Jeff Amy has covered politics and government for The Associated Press in Mississippi since 2011.

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to realize the power of my life. I feel ashamed and alarmed when I think of the grievous wrongs I may have done for greed. May I have delight in the struggles I have made for the ways of righteousness. Make me careful to avoid the things that debase life. May I aspire for the highest and best. Amen.

A verse to share For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. — 1 Corinthians 1:25

The latest efforts to reform food stamps STARKVILLE — One inescapable reality is Mississippi’s status as the poorest state in the union. That reality also makes the utilization and usage of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or food stamps an extremely relevant economic discussion in our state each year. With a new administration, Republican majorities in Congress, and a new Secretary of Agriculture, change in the SNAP program is certain. The question then become what kind of changes and how will those changes impact current recipients. Nationally, the cost of the program rose precipitously from $17 billion in 2000 to some $71 billion last year. Participation has risen from 17 million in 2000 to 44 million last year. So what’s the scope of that federal program in Mississippi? And what’s the economic impact in a state where over 21.9 percent of the state’s population were utilizing SNAP in 2014, according to USDA? The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported in January of this year that in Fiscal Year 2015, “SNAP provided about $0.92 billion dollars in food benefits to a monthly average of 636,322

people in Mississippi. The program served 82.8 percent of those eligible for benefits in Sid Salter Mississippi in Columnist 2014.” As to economic impact, USDA claims that “SNAP also has an economic multiplier eﬀect; every dollar in new SNAP benefits results in $1.80 in total economic activity.” Clearly, there is deep concern over the future of the SNAP program by advocates for the poor. Marian Wright Edleman of the Children’s Defense Fund – who has an extensive background in social activism in Mississippi from her work here in the 1960s – recently wrote: “President Trump’s first full budget next month is expected to try to take much of the safety net away again by capping funding, proposing block grants and enacting deep cuts to programs like food stamps (SNAP), and other nutrition, child and family health supports, crucial early childhood programs, education and housing investments and accountability protections for disadvantaged and disabled children.”

But conservatives fear that SNAP is plagued with fraud and waste and see SNAP reforms as a relative key to reining in overall federal spending. USDA confirms that 64 percent of SNAP recipients are children, the elderly or disabled citizens. In addition, the agency says that 22 percent of SNAP recipients work full time, are caregivers, or engaged in a monitored training program. The last recession brought work-related changes to the SNAP program. One of the federal government reactions to the Great Recession in 2009 was to suspend work requirements for receiving federal welfare payments. That action was justified by the rapid evaporation of jobs and soaring unemployment rates among people who had been gainfully employed all of their working lives. But when the recession was over, states began to reinstate work requirements for those who received food stamps. As of Jan. 1, 2016, some 22 states had transitioned from complete or partial waivers of the federal ABAWD (able bodied adults without dependents) requirements to eliminate or greatly decrease those

waivers. Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey and Tennessee completely eliminated the waivers in 2016. With work-related concerns relatively stable, significant SNAP reform from the Trump administration is likely – according to draft executive orders leaked to the media – to include a push to restrict immigrants from the program. Harvard University economist George Borjas recently examined the numbers of immigrants utilizing welfare programs and found that in 2016, 8.9 million U.S. households were headed by a noncitizen. Of those, almost 42 percent received Medicaid, food stamps or cash assistance. Mississippi’s relatively low percentage of immigrants should make that aspect of SNAP reform less impactful here, but it will be part of a larger national debate. In a state where onein-five citizens are on food stamps, any change in that program will have economic impacts – and some may well involve unintended consequences.

McDaniel plans to ride emotional wave to U.S. Senate OXFORD — Why would the name of a state senator from Ellisville be on a professionally created survey seeking voters’ views on national issues? The answer is obvious. The opinion survey is a pre-campaign ad. Chris McDaniel intends to be a U.S. senator. There’s nothing particularly new about this for those who follow political maneuvering. McDaniel is a dyed-inthe-wool super conservative. The banner on the email features the Confederate battle flag draped across Mississippi. An attorney, McDaniel once sued Haley Barbour. His name should be familiar because out of nowhere he out-polled U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran in the 2014 Republican Primary. He then lost to Cochran, who has been in Congress since 1972, by a mere 7,723 votes out of 382,221 cast in a runoﬀ. But it was close. So close. Indeed, except for a third candidate in the primary, whose 4,854-vote showing kept McDaniel from achieving the required majority, he’d likely be U.S. Sen. Chris McDaniel today. Couple the 2014 experience with President Donald Trump’s 2016 election being fed by fed-up voters and it becomes a slam-dunk that McDaniel will position himself to oust another “fellow Republican,” Roger Wicker, in 2018.

Wicker, from Pontotoc, is a conservative in the mold of Cochran, Barbour and Charlie so many othMitchell ers who have been targeted Columnist across America for not being conservative enough. Wicker has never made a big splash, is cautious and thoughtful. His conservative pedigree is solid. Air Force veteran. Aide to former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott. Member of the Mississippi Senate. First Republican to elected to the U.S. House in Mississippi’s 1st District following the 54year tenure Democrat Jamie Whitten. Re-elected until Lott’s departure and succeeded Lott on the last day of 2007. Truth be told, McDaniel has already had an influence on Wicker, pushing him more and more to the right. That’s because 2014 tally wasn’t complete before Mississippi’s junior senator — very conservative but more gentlemanly — knew McDaniel would come after him. Wicker has become more and more vocally anti-abortion and pro-gun and has refused to declare that climate change is real. Much of the real work of the Senate is mundane. Wicker’s day-today eﬀorts have been more occupied with rural devel-

opment initiatives and has been an eﬀective advocate on matters such as postKatrina relief and service to veterans. But to keep his job, if he wants to, he’ll have to add passion on hot-button issues. Back to McDaniel. He has figured out that the pathway to power is to create and then ride an emotional wave. A record of solid service or eﬀective service or problem-solving doesn’t appeal to voters as much as it may have in the past. Whether anyone likes it or not or thinks it’s positive or negative, today’s voters vote with their hearts more than on candidates’ actual records. Vitriol reigns. “I believe establishment Republicans have compromised our values and flatout surrendered on the field of battle for far too long,” says the preface of the “survey” emailed in McDaniel’s name. “As a result, our nation is over $20 trillion in debt, Obamacare is still on the books and the tax and spend gravy train continues to run full speed ahead in Washington and Jackson.” The message claims there is nothing “fringe” about McDaniel’s Republicanism, that he represents the core of the party that isn’t interested in compromise and wants action. Of course, what’s interesting is that Wicker, when first elected to the U.S. House in

1994, was of 53 Republican Revolution new delegates elected via the Contract With America devised by Barbour, then Republican National Committee chair. In fact, Wicker was elected president of that “super conservative” freshman class Democrats feared so much. Voters were aghast at the then $4.5 trillion national debt which, as the McDaniel message says, has increased more than four-fold since. In 1994, Conservatives gained control of Congress and were going to wrest America back from the precipice. Today, though, Wicker finds himself not nearly conservative enough. He’s extremely vulnerable and he knows it. After the shocker in 2014, when a Cochran, considered a shoo-in for life because he had been so eﬀective for Mississippi and had such a clean record, was almost unceremoniously ejected, McDaniel disappeared from the public view for a while. But he’s back, wrapped in the banner of the old Confederacy, making periodic appearances around the state — and more determined than ever. Materials popping up with his name on them, including the “survey,” are evidence that a polished, strategic campaign has begun. Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Mattis, general keep eyes on Russia BY ROBERT BURNS Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — The United States must confront Russia for providing weapons to the Taliban for use against American-backed forces in Afghanistan, top U.S. military oﬃcials said Monday. At a news conference with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis at his side, Gen. John Nicholson, the American commander in Afghanistan, wouldn’t provide specifics about Russia’s role in Afghanistan. But said he would “not refute” that Moscow’s involvement includes giving weapons to the Taliban. Earlier Monday, a senior U.S. military oﬃcial told reporters in Kabul that Russia was giving machine guns and other medium-weight weapons. The Taliban are using the weapons in the southern provinces of Helmand, Kandahar and Uruzgan, according to

the oﬃcial, who briefed journalists on intelligence information on condition of anonymity. Russia denies that it provides any such support to the Taliban, which ruled Afghanistan until the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. Russia says contacts are limited to safeguarding security and getting the hard-line religious fundamentalists to reconcile with the government — which Washington has failed for years to advance. Russia also has promoted easing global sanctions on Taliban leaders who prove cooperative. Asked about Russia’s activity in Afghanistan, where it fought a bloody war in the 1980s and withdrew in defeat, Mattis alluded to the increasing U.S. concerns. “We’ll engage with Russia diplomatically,” Mattis said. “We’ll do so where we can, but we’re going to have to confront Russia where what

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration issued sanctions Monday on 271 people linked to the Syrian agency responsible for producing non-conventional weapons, part of an ongoing U.S. crackdown on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons. The sanctions target employees of Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center, which the U.S. says partly enables the use of chemical weapons. The U.S. has blamed Assad for an attack earlier this month that killed more than 80 civilians in rebel-held northern Idlib. “The United States is sending a strong message with this action: That we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons by any actor,” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told reporters at the White House Monday. He said it was one of the largest such sanctions actions in U.S. history. President Donald Trump has called Assad “evil” and said his use of chemical weapons “crossed a lot of lines.” Assad has strongly denied he was behind the attack, in which sarin gas was allegedly used. As a result of Monday’s action, any property or interest in property of the individuals’ sanctioned must be blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. As Trump dined this month with China’s President Xi Jinping during their highly anticipated summit at Trump’s Florida resort, word emerged that Trump took action against Assad by launching missiles against a Syrian airfield. The retaliation was seen as somewhat unexpect-

ed for a president that vowed to stay out of lingering wars and conflicts overseas. This month, Russia vetoed a Westernbacked U.N. resolution that would have condemned the reported use of chemical weapons in Syria and demanded a speedy investigation into the attack. China abstained for the first time, a move the White House billed a win for their efforts to isolate Russia. “On Syria, the Council failed again this month to respond to Syria’s use of chemical weapons,” Trump said Monday at a White House meeting of U.N. ambassadors from countries on the Security Council. “A great disappointment. I was very disappointed by that.” The U.S. has gradually been expanding its sanctions program against Syria since 2004, when it issued sanctions targeting Syria for a range of offenses, including its support of terrorism, as well as its occupation of Lebanon, efforts to undermine stability in Iraq and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. More recently, sanctions were expanded in connection with its civil war, now in its sixth year, to target offenses linked to the ongoing violence and human rights abuses. The U.S. has also issued sanctions for foreign individuals or companies that support Assad’s government. A number of Iranian entities have been penalized for supporting the Syrian government or fighters working to undermine peace in Syria. While Moscow and Washington are continuously at odds over Syria, the U.S. has not imposed any Syria-related sanctions on Russia.

they’re doing is contrary to international law or denying the sovereignty of other countries.” “For example,” Mattis told reporters in the Afghan capital, “any weapons being funneled here from a foreign country would be a violation of international law.” Mattis met with President Ashraf Ghani and other senior government oﬃcials just hours after the nation’s defense minister and Army chief resigned over a massacre of more than 140 Afghan troops at a military base last Friday. The insurgent assault was the biggest ever on a military base in Afghanistan, involving multiple gunmen and suicide bombers in army uniforms who penetrated the compound of the 209th Corps of the Afghan National Army in northern Balkh province on Friday, killing and wounding scores. The death toll was likely to

rise further. Referring to the Russians again, Nicholson said “anyone who arms belligerents who perpetuate attacks like the one we saw” isn’t focused on “the best way forward to a peaceful reconciliation.” Given the sophisticated planning behind the attack, he also said “it’s quite possible” that the Pakistan-based Haqqani network was responsible. The Taliban claimed it carried out the attack. Nicholson recently told Congress that he needs a few thousand more troops to keep Afghan security forces on track to eventually handling the Taliban insurgency on their own. The Trump administration is still reviewing possible troop decisions. Mattis on Monday offered a grim assessment for Afghan forces fighting the Taliban. “2017 is going to be another tough year,” he said.

Astronaut breaks U.S. space record Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronaut Peggy Whitson broke the U.S. record Monday for most time in space and talked up Mars during a congratulatory call from President Donald Trump. The International Space Station’s commander surpassed the record of 534 days, two hours and 48 minutes for most accumulated time in space by an American. “This is a very special day in the glorious history of American spaceflight,” Trump said. His daughter and close adviser, Ivanka Trump, also oﬀered congratulations to Whitson from the Oval Oﬃce. Whitson said it’s “a huge honor” to break such a record. “It’s an exciting time” as NASA prepares for human expeditions to Mars in the 2030s, included in new legislation signed by Trump last month. She called the space station

“a key bridge” between living on Earth and traveling into deep space, and she singled out the station’s recycling system that transforms astronauts’ urine into drinking water. “It’s really not as bad as it sounds,” she assured the president. “Well, that’s good, I’m glad to hear that,” he replied. “Better you than me.” Whitson already was the world’s most experienced spacewoman and female spacewalker and, at 57, the oldest woman in space. By the time she returns to Earth in September, she’ll have logged 666 days in orbit over three flights. The world record — 879 days — is held by Russian Gennady Padalka. Whitson broke the NASA cumulative record set last year by astronaut Jeﬀrey Williams; Scott Kelly holds the U.S. record for consecutive days in space — 340.

“Do you love Me?”

Can you imagine Jesus looking in your eyes and asking you, “Do you love Me?” Oh, what a captivating experience that would be! What a rush of emotions would fill your soul! How would you respond? After gathering ourselves together, most of us would probably respond something like Peter did, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You” (John 21:15-17). But, how would Jesus “know” that? Other than being omniscient (i.e., knowing all), are we giving Him any indication that we love Him? In our inter-personal relationships, John urges, “Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18). Isn’t that the same way that Jesus could know of our love for Him - through our actions? What come to mind when you hear about someone having a “love for truth”? Does that sound odd? We know what it means when someone has a love for their spouse, a love for their children, a love for certain sports teams, a love for certain food, etc. But, how can one have that same kind of “love” for truth--an inanimate object? One has a love for truth when he wants to hear it, he longs to learn it, he is zealous to obey it, he is eager to share it, he is quick to defend it, he accepts it fully for what it says, he is not ashamed of what it teaches, he is not embarrassed by what it requires of him, he trusts the Source to mean what He says and say what He means. Do you love the truth of God? Do you love the truth of the cross? Do you love the truth regarding the church? Do you love the truth regarding personal holiness? Do you love the truth regarding Christian living? Do you love the truth more than you love any earthly thing? God has promised that He “preserves all who love Him” (Psa. 145:20), “that all things work together for good to those who love God” (Rom. 8:28), and “the Lord has promised” “the crown of life... to those who love Him” (Jas. 1:12). But, do I love Him as He expects me to love Him? Repeatedly in the Old Testament, it is established that God extends His mercy to “those who love Him and keep His commandments” (Deut. 7:9; 5:10; Ex. 20:6; Dan. 9:4). What did the Lord “require”? To walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord” (Deut. 10:12). The same truth is affirmed over and over in the New Testament. “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments” (1 John 5:2-3; cf. 2:4-5). “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15, 24). Now that God has defined it, do I truly love Him?Read your Bible - 1 John 4: 8-11 - Welcome
