The streets of Fillmore, Childs and Waldron will fill with music as the Corinth School District presents their Fine Arts Fête from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 7. “The Fine Arts Department held a similar event last year at the Courthouse which was great, but we were looking to spice it up a little,” said Corinth School District Data and Marketing Manager Taylor Coombs. “So, we had a meeting of minds in the department and came up with the idea of the fête which will give each department of the arts their time to shine.” “We are hoping for a great turn out and planning on growing the event each year,” she added. “Our classes are excited about sharing their talents with the community as well as possibly teaching some children skills which might spark their interest in the fine arts at a young age.” Free and open to the public, the exciting event will feature performances by the Corinth Beginner Band, Corinth Middle School Band, Corinth High School Band, Corinth Middle School Chorus, Corinth High

An annual fundraiser is getting a new twist. Event organizers with the Corinth High School Cross Country Booster Club are excited to offer another color run option with the upcoming Warrior Run 5K Xtreme Color event. The run will replace the booster club’s annual Mango Madness event. “Booster club members decided last fall to try to do something different. The color races have become so popular that they thought adding this aspect would increase participation,” said Alesha Knight, who is the team’s assistant coach. “We’re also going to change the theme each year. This year the theme is Xtreme Color.” The race is set for an 8 a.m. start on Saturday, May 16 with registration beginning on the high school campus at 7 a.m. Entry fee is $20 per person through May 13 with age group divisions ranging from 10 and under to 60 and over.

School goes blue for autism Tucker strung blue lights on a tree in the CES foyer and throughout the building. Blue bows were also placed at the end of each hallway. “We provided staff members blue ribbons and stickers to wear throughout the day,” Tucker said. “We also provided snacks for staff members in the front office.” All snacks were blue and included blueberry muffins, dip with blue corn chips, blue cupcakes and blue punch. The group also encouraged staff members to donate loose change to the Autism Speaks’ Kids and Coins for Autism initiative. CES staff raised more than $200, which will be used to provide 10 families with the Autism Speaks 100 Day Kit. “The kit provides important information and resources to parents of children who have recently been diagnosed with autism,” she added.

Corinth Elementary School has gone blue for autism. Speech Therapist Kate Tucker spearheaded the month-long celebration to bring awareness to one of the fastest growing developmental issues. “I wanted to do something to help promote inclusion and acceptance in our classrooms by educating our staff,” said Tucker. Counselor Tracy Gardner, first grade inclusion teacher Lynn Roach and school nurses Danielle Wright and Haley Moore also helped Tucker’s vision come true. The group capitalized on Autism Speaks’ World Autism Awareness Day held April 2, when events and buildings around the world decorate with blue lights to raise autism awareness. “I did some research to find ideas on how I could help bring awareness to CES,” she said. “On the Autism Speaks website, I learned how schools can promote the LIUB or Light It Up Blue Campaign.”

Boys Scouts raising money for summer camp BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Raising money to help with expenses for their summer camp, the replacement of tents and camping equipment and to fund their many service projects, Corinth Boy Scout Troop 123 will hold a fund-raiser from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 30 at McAlister’s Deli. “We teach our Boy Scouts to be very serviceoriented. Our boys will be volunteer servers at this event so please come out and help support them,” said Scoutmaster Kevin Roberts. “While they cannot accept ‘tips, all are welcome to make a donation to the troop. It would be very much appreciated and put to good use.” McAlister’s Deli of Corinth has pledged to donate 10 percent of all the night’s sales to the troop. Tents and equipment purchased by the troop are used by all members making Scouting more accessible and affordable for all. These items are used in the course of service projects, general camping, community

Corinth Boy Scout Troop 123 is holding a fundraiser today to raise money for summer camp. events and summer camp activities. Summer camp offers the opportunity to travel, earn merit badges, make new friends, visit historic places and experience the diversity of our country. The boys

learn to share, communicate and work together as a group while working on individual leadership skills and specialty skills associated with earning merit badges. “We are very proud of

our Scouts and their willingness to help others in the community with many service projects from putting out hundreds of American flags on veterans graves, updating flower beds at the Lighthouse

Foundation this past weekend and assisting other Scouts with various Eagle projects benefiting the community. We have had many camping weekends working to restore and improve the camp-

grounds at the Jacinto Courthouse that were destroyed by a storm several years back with a goal of making them operational again,” said Roberts. “Naturally our troop has many expenses we need help with such as the cost of merit badges for rank advancement, tents and camping supplies, and help with gas costs to take our scouts everywhere from summer camps to merit badge colleges. Our troop has been chartered for over 25 years by the Christ United Methodist Church where we meet every Monday night from 6 to 7:30 pm. We have seen over 50 plus scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout while performing hundreds of service projects for the community throughout the years.” Boy Scout Troop 123 of Corinth was founded in 1985.

Across the Region ATV theft leads to arrest of Corinth man

Today is Thursday, April 30, the 120th day of 2015. There are 245 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 30, 1945, as Soviet troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun.

On this date: In 1789, George Washington took the oath of office in New York as the first president of the United States. In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million. In 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state of the Union. In 1900, engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones of the Illinois Central Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Mississippi, after staying at the controls in a successful effort to save the passengers. In 1939, the New York World’s Fair officially opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1968, New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University. In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House counsel John Dean, who was actually fired. In 1975, the Vietnam War ended as the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell to Communist forces. In 1988, Gen. Manuel Noriega, waving a machete, vowed at a rally to keep fighting U.S. efforts to oust him as Panama’s military ruler. In 1990, hostage Frank Reed was released by his captives in Lebanon; he was the second American to be released in eight days.

BOONEVILLE – On Saturday, April 25, around 2:30 p.m., Prentiss County deputies received the report of the theft of a 2002 Honda Foreman Yellow in Color from a CR 3200 residence. Deputies determined that the complainants father witnessed a White Pickup with a ladder rack going East on CR 3200 followed Ellis shortly thereafter by a Yellow Four Wheeler, he believed to be his son’s. The owner went to check and found his Four Wheeler and a Pole Saw had been stolen from his shed. Investigators, deputies and North Half Constable Sammy Henderson began canvassing the area and obtained informa-

6:39 p.m. He is identified as Christopher Blair Ellis, 35, of CR 237 in Corinth. Ellis is charged with Grand Larceny in the case and his bond was set at $25,000. Investigators are still trying to identify the second suspect. If anyone has information that would aid in the identification and arrest of the second suspect or other related information, please go to www. crimestoppersms.com and report the information for a cash reward or call the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Office at 662728-6232. “This is a prime example of how neighbors and family can look out for one another and be observant of suspicious activity in our neighborhoods and communities, as both a deterent and a crime solving method,” said Sheriff Randy Tolar. “We want to thank those in the community that were responsible for passing along valuable information that helped lead to the arrest and recovery of the ATV.”

Natchez may curtail Elvis items back on auction block narcotics division’s contract with county Associated Press

Associated Press

NATCHEZ — The Natchez-Adams County Metro Narcotics division may soon dissolve after nearly three decades of existence. Natchez Mayor Butch Brown tells The Natchez Democrat a lack of communication exists between the city and county regarding Metro Narcotics. The result, Brown said, is that Natchez may be best served by opting out of an interlocal agreement that allowed the city and county to work together to battle illegal drugs. Metro Narcotics was created in 1987. Instead, Brown suggested the city might partner with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics. Because the city and county are often investigating different cases, Brown said a lack of transparency has developed between the departments, leading him to consider a new arrangement.

“A lot of times, we’re working cases, and they don’t know about it,” Brown said. Through partnering with the MBN, Brown said he thinks the city would have a more thorough and effective narcotics unit. MBN Enforcement Commander Mike Perkins said these types of partnerships are common throughout the state. Currently, he said Franklin, Wilkinson and Jefferson counties all partner with the MBN for drug task force assistance. To date, Brown said he has met twice with representatives from the MBN’s McComb office to discuss a possible partnership. “What we’re looking at, is taking our crew and partnering with MBN so we can have a better internal program for the city of Natchez,” he said. The Natchez aldermen have not set a date to discuss changing the inter-local agreement.

HOLLY SPRINGS — A huge, quirky collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia is about to be auctioned off piece-by-piece. More than 450 Elvisrelated items from the collection of the late Paul MacLeod, operator of the Elvis Too home and museum in Holly Springs, Mississippi, will be put on the auction block once again Saturday on the grounds of the local landmark, The Commercial Appeal reports. The entire collection had initially been sold off in February, but the online auction was cancelled because of a mis-

understanding. The winning bidder from Georgia mistakenly thought he was also bidding on the 161-year-old antebellum home when he bid $54,500. The property was actually being sold separately and is still on the market, Greg Kinard of Meridianbased Spur K Auctions said. “It was just a bad mixup,” Kinard said. The Graceland Too museum, its walls covered floor-to-ceiling with a mishmash of photos, records, figurines, cardboard cutouts, clocks and other random kitsch featuring Elvis, was not af-

filiated with Graceland or the Presley estate. People could arrive at any hour, pay $5 and get a tour from the animated MacLeod, who said in 2009 that he drank 24 cans of Coca-Cola a day. MacLeod, 71, was found dead on his front porch last July. The items in the auction include albums, guitars, ceramic figurines, commemorative plates, lamps, polyester rufflefront dress shirts, leather jackets and beaded jumpsuits. They are being sold in order to pay off the roughly $20,000 to $25,000 of debt MacLeod left.

speak on Saturday. The August ballot is littered with candidates. The election of a new sheriff is a hot-button field with seven candidates vying for the position. Slots for chancery clerk, constable and supervisors are also highly competitive with three Democrats running for clerk, 12 candidates lobbying for two constable slots and 20 candidates for supervisors in five districts.

“There is a lot going on that day,” said Watson. “But this is a good chance for the public to meet candidates and we feel eight minutes is enough time for them to say what they need to say.” The concession stand at the legion hall will be open throughout the day. The party primary election is slated for Tuesday, Aug. 4 with the general election to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Hillary’s policies hurt average Americans BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Hillary announced her candidacy proclaiming that she would be the spokesman for “everyday Americans” struggling to live the American Dream. Yet we must remember that three key policy planks of the Democratic Party are diametrically opposed to her supposed goal: immigration, Obamacare and the refusal to curb China’s currency manipulation. Immigration keeps wages down and unemployment among Americans up. The Center for Immigration Studies says that, according to U.S. Census information, “since 2000 all of the net gain in the number of working-age (16 to 65) people holding a job has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). This is remarkable given that native-born Americans accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the total working-age population.” The Center found that the number of immigrants (legal and illegal) holding jobs rose by 5.7 million from 2000-2014 while the number of native born Americans holding jobs dropped during the same period by 127,000. As long as immigrants prevent Americans from getting jobs, how can they possibly increase their income? And immigration also holds down wages and incomes among Americans. Though there has been some recovery from the Great Recession, there were still fewer working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above the 2000 level. A total of 17 million fewer native-born Americans had jobs in 2014 than in 2000 – virtually the entire increase in population over that period is unemployed. There is also no more destructive a program of good jobs than Obamacare. Its requirement that employers offer health insurance to full-time workers or face a steep penalty has driven down full-time employment. There are now 7 million Americans officially listed as working part-time who want to work full-time. That rate of part-time employment is almost twice pre-Obamacare levels. From EPA, IRS, FDA and other alphabet soup agencies come almost weekly announcements of new regulations; each one further crippling job creation. The third impediment to upward job mobility among “average” Americans is massive imports from China. The Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank, estimates that the U.S. has lost 2.7 million jobs as a result of Chinese trade practices since 2001, 2.1 million in manufacturing alone. The think tank notes, “Wages of American workers have also suffered due to the competition with [China]. A typical two-earner household loses around $2,500 per year from this dynamic.” Some of the Chinese advantage comes from cheaper labor. But much stems from currency manipulation to which Obama, as president, and Hillary, as his secretary of state, turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. President Obama recently opined that we needed “to make sure our goods are not artificially inflated in price and their goods are not artificially deflated in price; that puts us at a huge competitive disadvantage.” The Economic Policy Institute says eliminating China’s currency manipulation would expand U.S. employment by 2.3 million to 5.8 million jobs, 40 percent of which would be in manufacturing. Yet in all of her dealings with China, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did nothing to curb Chinese currency manipulation. Could the fact that Bill Clinton have gotten hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees for appearing before Chinese organizations, often sponsored by their government, have anything to do with this inaction? Hillary’s policies have had a major hand in developing the income inequality, which she is so fervent in condemning. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that I may not be indifferent to the call of my soul. May I not seek to serve the disappearing and neglect to make life worthy. Acquaint me with the permanent values of life. Make clear the way of strength, that I may not be misled by ease and carried to weakness. May my life be ennobled by the power of my possessions. Amen.

A verse to share “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” — Jeremiah 17:9

‘Last (white) Democrat in Dixie’ still chugging along OXFORD — Former Gov. Haley Barbour, whose pristine pedigree in Republican America is unmatched, inspired a headline a few of weeks ago with a speech on Mike Espy Scholars Day at Jackson’s historically black Tougaloo College. Mississippi, Barbour said, would benefit from two “salt and pepper” political parties. Former U.S. Rep. Mike Espy, a Democrat who is African-American, was in the audience. Espy endorsed Barbour for a second term in 2007 and endorsed the speech at Tougaloo. It’s just not healthy to have, as Mississippi does, a Democratic Party with which 95 percent of blacks and a smattering of whites identify and a Republican Party with which 95 percent of whites and a smattering of blacks identify. Politics should be ideadriven, not identity-driven, both said. Ideas, at least in the abstract, are race-neutral. There’s no better illustration of being idea-driven than Jim Hood. Two years go, Governing magazine dubbed him the “last Democrat in Dixie,” a reference to all other statewide offices, majorities of the state House and Senate seats, three of the state’s four seats in the U.S. House and both U.S. Senate seats being held by Republicans. Hood, who is seeking a fourth term in November, is a Bible-believing, pistol-

toting, deerhunting, drawl-speaking 52-yearold from New Houlka, population Charlie now steady Mitchell at 611. Governing noted Columnist that Hood wears his hair “Conway Twitty” style, which is in more line with Republican Gov. Phil Bryant than the rakish styles of modern, “with it” barristers. It’s no surprise that a former district attorney who became the state’s top attorney is a sincere prosecutor. Hood has been relentless against cybercrime, child pornographers and their customers. He has worked diligently and effectively to combat domestic violence. But while he packs a 9 mm and shares much with conservatives, Hood parts ways, too: • He interceded when a gay couple was denied permission to rent a state facility for their commitment ceremony. (The planned use was not against state law, he said. Mississippi doesn’t license same-sex marriage, he reasoned, but the couple wasn’t seeking the state’s building, not its blessing.) • He, along with Republican state Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, tried to prevail upon Bryant that fighting against the Medicaid eligibility expan-

sion in the Affordable Care Act was not in the state’s best interest. • Earlier in his tenure, he was aggressive in pursuing “cold case” files from the Civil Rights Era, winning in 2005 a conviction of Edgar Ray Killen in the 1964 Neshoba County triple homicide. (Much of white Mississippi would be happier if the past remained in the past.) • And while a lot of Mississippians profess disdain for “ambulance-chasing” lawyers, Jim Hood has become known nationally and internationally for empowering private lawyers to sue the pants off corporations. It was former Attorney General Mike Moore who started this ball rolling by suing Big Tobacco in 1994. The result was a 25-year payout to total at least $4.1 billion that was to create a “trust” to invest in health care. The Legislature soon decided to spend as opposed to invest, but the revenue stream continues and adds tens of millions to the state treasury every year. Hood has OK’d similar suits. Often, he attracts sniffs of disdain when deals are made with private lawyers to sue drug companies or to haul investment firms suspected of fraud into court. Hood has sued Entergy, Google and just about every insurance company known to mankind. Hood’s newest case is another against State Farm,

which professed “surprise” and believed that all its liability stemming from Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago had been resolved. Not so, the new lawsuit says. Mississippi taxpayers gave a lot of money to property owners. That money should have come from their insurance policies, the suit says. So justice demands State Farm reimburse the public treasury. Private lawyers pitch their ideas about who should be sued to Hood, who chooses whether to allow them to use the state’s name. The lawyers stand to walk away wealthy, or with nothing. The state has banked more than $500 million from Hood’s cases, so outrage among conservatives in the Legislature has been, well, muted. Hood will have a Republican opponent on the November ballot. Veteran former Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst, who lives in Madison, will challenge the incumbent. Hurst is certainly a competent and compelling adversary. But the fact that Hood’s tenure has been about ideas as opposed to following a scripted party line has kept this lonely Democrat in good stead with voters in one of the reddest of red states. Too bad that’s not contagious. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)

Anti-trust law and lawlessness We all make mistakes and some of us learn from them. What is even better is to learn from other people’s mistakes, where they pay for those mistakes while we learn free of charge. Many Americans who say that we should learn from other people, especially Europeans, mean that we should imitate what they did. That may make those who talk this way feel superior to other Americans. But let us never forget that the most disastrous ideologies of the 20th century — Communism, Fascism and Nazism — all originated in Europe. So did both World Wars. More recently, Europe has been belatedly discovering how unbelievably stupid it was to import millions of people from cultures that despise Western values, and which often promote hatred toward Western people. Maybe that is a mistake that we can think about when Congress finally decides to do something about our open borders and our immigration laws that we refuse to enforce. European anti-trust regulators are giving us another free lesson in confused thinking by filing anti-trust charges against Google, on grounds that its searching

facilities give preferential treatment to Google’s own searching services over other Thomas c o m p e t i n g Sowell s e a r c h i n g services. Columnist The European Union’s commissioner for competition explained the basis for the complaint against Google: “We have a focus on a certain conduct, a certain behavior which, if our doubts are going to be proven, we would like to change because we believe that it hampers competition.” Some of us think laws should be clear-cut statements of what you can and cannot do. Indicting people under laws that can lead to fines in the billions of dollars over what “we believe” or what international bureaucrats have “doubts” about is not really law. The history of American anti-trust law shows too many similar vague and confused notions masquerading as law. The idea that the accused must prove their innocence, under the “rebuttable presumptions” of the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, was a forerunner of the same mindset un-

der later “disparate impact” theories in civil rights law. What such fancy words boil down to is that very little evidence is required to shift the burden of proof to the accused, in defiance of centuries-old legal traditions that the accuser has the burden of proof in criminal cases and the plaintiffs have the burden of proof in civil cases. Such violations of the legal standards used in most other cases are usually inflicted on those who have already been demonized and whose guilt has been assumed and punishment is fervently desired, such as big business, employers accused of discrimination or men accused of rape. Google is accused of running its Internet search programs in such a way that they are more accessible to the public than other search programs available through Google. Since people can search through other sources besides Google, it is not at all clear why Google cannot run its own operation for its own benefit, while others run their operations for their own benefit. The whole point of competition in the market is to create economic efficiency which, by its very nature, means eliminating the less

efficient producers. Confusion about the difference between maintaining competition and maintaining competitors has long plagued anti-trust law on both sides of the Atlantic. But Americans seem in recent years to be recognizing the difference. In Europe, there still seems to be a notion that big companies with many customers should help their smaller competitors survive -- especially if the big companies are American and the smaller companies are European. In other words, Google should be run in such a way that competing search programs are as prominently featured as Google’s own search program. Whatever the case that could be made for this argument, as a matter of manners, noblesse oblige or whatever, people in charge of anti-trust law are not in charge of manners or noblesse oblige. Law is too serious to be subordinated to fashionable notions or political expediency.

Gunmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial eyes his stoic behavior CENTENNIAL, Colo. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The courtroom where the Colorado theater shooting trial is unfolding is awash with emotion as survivors recount the horrors of dodging gunfire and stumbling over loved onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bodies as they fled. But the man tethered to the floor at the defense table seems impervious to it all, hardly moving as witnesses share details of his carnage. Interpretations of James Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stonefaced, nearly catatonic demeanor cut to the heart of the case. His attorneys say he seems aloof because of antipsychotic medications he has taken since he killed 12 people and injured 70 more in the packed movie theater. But prosecutors hint of something dark and calculating below that emotionless exterior. Holmes has remained unaffected in the opening days of his death penalty trial, stoic even as attorneys revealed the most intimate details of his personal life, from his failures in romance to his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of mental illness. He stares blankly ahead, rarely turning his head to glance at jurors or the crowded gallery. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak to the attorneys by his side. Not even the sight of his parents seated two rows behind him gives him any noticeable rise. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so impassive that, even before his trial began, defense attorney Tamara Brady asked prospective jurors if they would read anything into his appearance, searching for those who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t study him too hard.

Coast Guard IDs 3rd sailboat victim DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities on Wednesday identified the third person killed when a powerful storm struck a sailboat race on the Alabama coast, and the search continued on water and land for three boaters who remained missing. The body of William Glenn Massey, 67, of Daphne was found near a gas platform in Mobile Bay, the Coast Guard said. An angler spotted the body Tuesday and notified officials. Massey was the third person confirmed dead since the boating disaster happened Saturday afternoon. The other victims were Kris Beall, 27, of Pineville, Louisiana, and Robert Delaney, 72, of Madison, Mississippi. Searchers have covered more than 5,600 square miles of water looking for possible survivors and victims, and volunteers walked shorelines looking for any signs of the missing. The families of two of the boaters who are still missing say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thankful for the continuing search. They held a news conference Tuesday at Dauphin Island to thank emergency responders and others. They identified the missing as Adam Clark, 17, of Mobile and Jimmie Charles â&#x20AC;&#x153;J.C.â&#x20AC;? Brown, 71.

8th graders score poorly in history WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Time for another history lesson.

Only about a quarter of eighth graders showed solid performance or better in U.S. history, civics and geography on tests known as the Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report Card. The 2014 results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress released Wednesday were similar to those four years ago when the assessments were last administered. Students did better overall in U.S. history and civics than their peers in the 1990s when the tests were first given, but geography scores have remained stagnant since 1994. Among the findings: Less than half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 45 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of eighthgrade respondents were able to correctly interpret time differences using an atlas with time zones. Only about a third knew that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the government of the United States should be a democracyâ&#x20AC;? is a political belief shared by most people in the U.S. Michelle Herczog, president of the National Council for the Social Studies, said the results â&#x20AC;&#x153;point to a need for immediate action.â&#x20AC;? Tackling issues like terrorism, human rights, race relations and poverty require a deep understanding of the historical and geographic context, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do we, as a nation, maintain our status in the world if future generations of Americans do not understand our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, world geography or civics principles or practices?â&#x20AC;? Herczog said. Only 18 percent of students demonstrated solid performance or better in U.S. history. The results for geography and civics were slightly better, 27 percent and 23 percent, respectively. A large share of the eighth graders who took the test scored at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;basicâ&#x20AC;? level, meaning just partial mastery of the subjects. Only 1 percent of test takers in U.S. history, 3 percent in geography and 2 percent in civics scored in the advanced level.

drugs used in lethal injections. But the hour-plus session featured broader complaints from conservative justices that death penalty opponents are waging what Justice Samuel Alito called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;guerrilla warâ&#x20AC;? against executions by working to limit the supply of more effective drugs. Among the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberals, Justice Elena Kagan said the way states carry out most executions amounts to having prisoners â&#x20AC;&#x153;burned alive from the inside.â&#x20AC;?

The outcome itself could turn on the rather narrow question involving the discretion of the federal trial judge who initially heard the lawsuit. He ruled against the inmates, and a unanimous three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in Denver affirmed that ruling.

Officer indicted for crash deaths MEMPHIS, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A West Tennessee police officer is facing two charges of vehicular manslaughter stemming from a crash last year. A statement from Shelby County prosecutor Amy P. Weirich says a grand jury handed down an indictment on Tuesday charging 33-year-old Lucas Hines, who is an officer for the City of Bartlett. The crash killed 63-year-old Danny Floyd and 49-year-old Michelle Sloyan, both of Millington. The prosecutor says Hines was traveling at a high rate of speed in pursuit of a reckless driver when the crash occurred last October. A Tennessee Highway Patrol investigation found that Hines was in a marked patrol car, but did not have his emergency lights or siren activated and had been notified by a supervisor to disregard the pursuit.

Former casino site to become resort BILOXI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Developers say the site of the former Casino Magic is being reinvented as a resort and water park. The casino has been closed since Hurricane Katrina damage the property in 2005. Cono Caranna III, one of the developers of the project, told the Biloxi City Council on Tuesday the resort will have restaurants, 373 hotel rooms and a water park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be open with phase 1 within the next year,â&#x20AC;? he said. He expects a second phase to open a year after that. Caranna, who also was part of the development team that restored the White House Hotel in Biloxi, said the ownership group is still developing a name for the resort and finalizing plans for the project. He said the owners plan to develop the area west of the tower. Crews started work Tuesday on the steel frame that was left intact after the rest of the abandoned casino project was demolished by Caesars Entertainment last year. Â

Obama: Officers must be held accountable BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said the Baltimore riots show that police departments need to hold officers accountable for wrongdoing “instead of just the closing-ranks approach that all too often we see.” In an interview broadcast Wednesday morning on “The Steve Harvey Morning Show,” Obama said his heart goes out of the Baltimore officers who were injured by rioters. He said there’s no excuse for that kind of violence and Baltimore

police showed “appropriate restraint.” But he said police departments have to build more trust in minority communities by building accountability and transparency. “It’s in their interest to root out folks who aren’t doing the right thing, to hold accountable people when they do something wrong, instead of just the closing-ranks approach that all too often we see that ends up just feeding greater frustration and ultimately, I think, putting more police officers in danger,” Obama said

in the interview taped Tuesday and broadcast on black radio stations nationwide. Obama said Attorney General Loretta Lynch is reaching out to mayors to let them know what resources are available for retraining police and providing body cameras to hold them accountable. But he said solving the problems is going to require a broader political movement that addresses problems like poor education, drugs, absent fathers and limited job opportunities. “If all we’re doing is fo-

cusing on retraining police but not dealing with some of these underlying issues, then these problems are going to crop up again,” Obama said, while acknowledging those problems require sustained focus that might be hard to muster. “People have a tendency once the fires have been put out, the cars aren’t being tipped over, you know, there’s not some media crisis, then folks want go back and focus on whatever reality TV thing is going on.” “Unfortunately we’ve seen these police-related killings or deaths too of-

ten now,” Obama said. “And obviously everybody is starting to recognize that this is not just an isolated incident in Ferguson or New York, but we’ve got some broader issues.” “I’ve seen this movie too many times before,” he added. Asked whether he would visit Baltimore, Obama said he didn’t want to draw resources away from addressing the violence. “Once things have been cleared up, I think there’s going to be a time I go back to Baltimore.”

FAA chief: Gyrocopter ‘indistinguishable’ from birds BY MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A small gyrocopter that flew through miles of the nation’s most restricted airspace before landing at the U.S. Capitol was “indistinguishable” from other non-aircraft such as a flock of birds, a kite or a balloon, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday. FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told a House committee that the slow-moving gyrocopter appeared as an “irregular symbol” on radar monitored by air traffic controllers. Huerta and other officials said the small, unidentified object did not pose an apparent threat before landing on the Capitol’s West Lawn April 15. Forensic analysis conducted later identified a slow-moving object that

traveled about 70 miles from Gettysburg, Pa., to the U.S. Capitol. Officials now believe that was the gyrocopter. A dot representing the gyrocopter “appeared only intermittently throughout the flight,” Huerta said. Navy Adm. William Gortney, commander of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, said small aircraft such as gyrocopters represent a “technical and operational challenge” for the military to detect and defend against. The gyrocopter incident “has further confirmed the need to continue to improve our ability to identify lowaltitude and slow-speed aerial vehicles” operating in the skies above the nation’s capital, Gortney told the House Oversight Committee. Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said police

were contacted just before 1 p.m. EDT by an employee of the Tampa Bay Times, who said a local man was flying a gyrocopter to the Capitol as a form of protest. No time or date information was provided regarding the flight, Dine said. The newspaper employee later identified the pilot as Douglas Hughes and said that Hughes told the newspaper he had received permission for the flight from the U.S. Secret Service and Capitol Police, Dine said. No such permission was granted by either agency, he added. The newspaper employee said Hughes was providing a live feed of the flight on his website, but officials were unable to find the feed if it existed, Dine said. At 1:21 p.m., just before the landing, a reporter approached a Capitol police officer and asked

if he had seen a “helicopter” yet, Dine testified. He was told no. The vehicle landed at 1:23 p.m. “The extremely short time frame” between a lockdown order issued after the gyrocopter was identified and the vehicle’s landing made it impossible to notify members of Congress in advance, Dine said. Paul Irving, the House Sergeant at Arms, said he has ordered Dine to use an official notification system to alert lawmakers, staff and visitors of “events that could potentially be a threat” to the Capitol. Capitol police notified senators but not House members of the lockdown, Irving said. “I have ordered the chief never to allow this to happen again,” he said. Hughes, 61, of Florida, was arrested upon landing and charged with vio-

lating restricted airspace and operating an unregistered aircraft. His next court appearance is May 8. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the Oversight panel, has said that Hughes is “lucky to be alive” and “should have been blown out of the air.” A combination of “lack of communication and some human error” by Capitol police and other officials allowed Hughes to steer his tiny aircraft across 30 miles of restricted airspace to within a few hundred feet of the Capitol before landing on the West Lawn, Chaffetz said after a closed-door briefing last week. Chaffetz and other lawmakers want security officials to explain how they determined that the gyrocopter piloted by Hughes did not pose a threat.

Daily Corinthian County does booming business in asbestos lawsuits Associated Press

J#H# HVk^c\h 7dcYh VgZ \^[ih l^i] V [jijgZ#

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. — Few of the tourists who drive old Route 66 through this rural Illinois town are aware of its true economic engine: a booming business in asbestos lawsuits that attracts law firms from across the country. Since 2005, those lawsuits have generated a $14 million surplus for Edwardsville and solidified Madison County’s place at the center of a long-running national debate over personal-injury claims.

A decade after former President George W. Bush came here to tout classaction lawsuit limits, the number of asbestos suits has reached record levels, with caseloads that surpass specialized courts in far larger cities such as New York, Chicago and Baltimore. Lawsuits have also proliferated in smaller industrial communities such as Beaumont, Texas, and Charleston, West Virginia, but Edwardsville is the smallest and perhaps most unlikely of the bunch, with just 24,000 residents. The

“THE POWER OF THE TONGUE” “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” (Proverbs 25:11) “A word spoken in due season, how good is it!” (Proverbs 15:23) The right word said at just the right time is indeed a blessing isn’t it!? Aren’t we grateful for the kind words of a friend when things go wrong in our life, or words of comfort at the loss of a loved one: the encouragement and confidence instilled in us by the re-assuring words of a faithful brother or sister in Christ when I have failed to be what God would have me be? These are priceless treasures. How often have we given our undivided attention to a speaker who was able to move us to tears or jubilation with just a word or a phrase? The New Testament writer James puts it in perspective for us when he says “the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.” (James 3:5) The tongue can also cause great pain in the lives of others. How often is the harmony and beauty of a marriage damaged or destroyed by the unkind, spiteful, angry words of one spouse to another, or the humiliating, and degrading language used by a parent to a precious child. James says “the tongue is a fire. A world of iniquity,” and that “it defileth the whole body.” (James 3:6) How often is the Christian’s power to influence others in a positive way damaged by the careless use of the tongue, and instead of drawing people to Jesus and his will by the life we live, we cause them to wonder how Christ can live in us if we use filthy words and speech every time we open our mouth. The power of the tongue is seen in the imagery used by James. He likens the tongue to bits placed in a horses mouth, enabling the rider to turn the large animals with the relatively small bit, and the large ships that are turned about by the relatively small rudder. (James 3:3,4) The lesson is magnified by the imagery. The tongue is indeed small but very, very powerful. “The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” (James 3:8) It behooves us then to resolve, as David did in the long ago, to “sin not with my tongue; I will keep my mouth with a bridle.” (Psalm 39:1) James says “If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect, (mature) man, and able also to bridle the whole body. (James 3:2) Let us strive to clean up our mouth and use its power for good and not evil!! We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

city 30 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri, is better known for its historic downtown and the scenic drive along the nearby Mississippi River. From 2012 through 2014, an average of 1,500 lawsuits claiming injury or death from asbestos were filed in Madison County — a nearly threefold increase from just five years earlier. By comparison, a Philadelphia court that specializes in personal-injury complaints involving birthcontrol devices, denture creams and other consumer products averaged a little more than 300 asbestos lawsuits over the same time period — in a city nearly 65 times larger than Edwardsville. Madison County has the highest rate of lawsuits filed in Illinois, 8.2 per thousand residents in 2013, according to a report issued this month

by the Illinois Civil Justice League. That’s twice as many as filed in Cook County, home to Chicago. The group Illinois Lawsuit Abuse Watch rallied Wednesday at the state Capitol to highlight concerns about the legal system, including the asbestos courts. They will find a sympathetic ear in Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is pushing legislation to make it more difficult for plaintiffs to “venue shop,” saying people should only file lawsuits in the county where a company has an office. Currently, asbestos plaintiffs don’t have to live in the jurisdiction where the suit is filed — or even in the state. They just have to show that the corporation being sued did business in heavily industrial communities that surround Edwardsville and line the Mississippi.

Pyramid seeks old glory with new Bass Pro Shops BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shaped like an Egyptian wonder, the Memphis landmark known as the Pyramid stopped being a regular venue for basketball games and concerts in 2004. The 32-story structure, with its sleek, angular exterior and prime location along the Mississippi River, has sat largely unused for 11 years, a symbol of the fate of obsolete architectural curiosities like Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Astrodome â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cool-looking buildings with no real purpose. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the Pyramid to be reborn. To the delight of outdoorsmen, tourist officials and local politicians, the Pyramid opened Wednesday as the newest location for Bass Pro Shops. The outdoor goods retailer has converted the building into a stunning ode to commercialism and a promising tourist attraction. Aside from

the tens of thousands of hunting, fishing and boating items for sale, visitors can walk through a manmade cypress swamp, go bowling or shoot arrows at the archery range. A 105-room hotel designed like a hunting lodge has balconies overlooking the indoor swamp. There are also live ducks, alligators and fish. An observatory at the top offers stunning views of Memphisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; downtown and the wide river. Tourism officials believe the site could attract 2 million people a year and generate muchneeded economic activity if travelers come to view it on par with other mustsee Memphis destinations like Graceland, Stax Records, Sun Studio and the National Civil Rights Museum. And city leaders hope a $100 million investment in the project will turn the moribund neighborhood known as the Pinch into a thriving commercial area.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pyramid over the last couple of decades has become our iconic symbol for the downtown skyline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to Memphis what the (Gateway) Arch is to St. Louis,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Kane, president and CEO of the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau . â&#x20AC;&#x153;With an opportunity like this, it will become an attraction that will bring millions of people to its doorstep.â&#x20AC;? Opened in 1991, the Pyramid lost its luster when the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA and the University of Memphis Tigers basketball team left for the new FedExForum, located on Beale Street. Before then, it hosted Southeastern Conference and NCAA tournament games and was a concert stop for Billy Joel, the Rolling Stones and many others. Bass Pro and the city agreed on a 55-year lease in 2010. Construction to convert the 535,000-square foot building from arena

to megastore began four years ago. About 700 people worked construction. Another 600 people have been hired as Bass Pro employees. The result of the makeover is impressive. The cypress swamp covers most of the ground floor. Moss dangles from fake trees, and the watery bog is dotted with stuffed wild pigs and other animals. Surrounding the swamp are various retail sections with hand-painted wall murals of idyllic outdoor scenes. The fishing section contains about 30,000 items. A general store will sell homemade fudge. The 13-lane bowling alley has a water motif with fish dangling from the ceiling and ball returns shaped like alligator mouths. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an interactive duck hunting game. An elevator takes visitors up to the Cat House Sky Club, a restaurant and bar with an observation deck providing panoramic views of the river and city.

Rooms at the Big Cypress Lodge were inspired by hunting camps. They have a rustic feel, with dark wood trim and private porches with rocking chairs. But there are also modern amenities, like flat screen TVs, electric fireplaces and room service, according to hotel manager Lana McDonald. The hotel also has a fitness center and spa. McDonald estimated in early April that the lowend price for a regular room will start at around $259, depending on demand and availability. David Hagel, general manager of the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid, did not disclose expected sale figures or how much the private company spent on construction. But he did describe it as the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest financial endeavor outside of its Springfield, Missouri, location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy to see something like

this, then you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a pulse,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more than retail.â&#x20AC;? In a 2011 report, real estate consultant RKG Associates estimated that a 300,000-square-foot retail space would generate $350 in sales per square foot, or $105 million, per year. City officials hope the new Pyramid generates a large economic impact to justify what The Commercial Appeal newspaper says is a $102 million investment in the project. The neighborhood near the Pyramid, already home to St. Jude Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Hospital, stands to benefit from the Pyramidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reincarnation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Pyramid closed, it had a major impact on restaurants and nightclubs in that area,â&#x20AC;? Kane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the revival of the Pyramid into the new Bass Pro, you will see that the market will naturally begin to fill in those areas that were shuttered.â&#x20AC;?

Cargo capsule bound for International Space Station a total loss BY MARCIA DUNN Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Russian supply capsule that went into an uncontrollable spin after launch was declared a total loss Wednesday, but astronauts at the International Space Station said they will get by without the delivery of fresh food, water, clothes and equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be OK,â&#x20AC;? NASA astronaut Scott Kelly assured The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be in good shape.â&#x20AC;? Kelly and Russian Mikhail Kornienko, the space stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-year crew members, told the AP during an interview that flight controllers had given up trying to com-

mand the cargo carrier. NASA and the Russian Space Agency later confirmed the news. The unmanned Progress vessel, bearing 3 tons of goods, began tumbling when it reached orbit Tuesday, following launch from Kazakhstan. The head of Roscosmos, Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space agency, Igor Komarov, cited a lack of pressure in the main block of the propulsion system in the decision to abort the mission. Kelly said the craft will fall out of orbit and reenter the atmosphere. Russian reports indicated a re-entry possibly next week. The capsule is expected to burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere, as is the case for all Progress carri-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program plans for these kinds of things to happen. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very unfortunate when they do. This important thing is hardware can be replaced.â&#x20AC;? Scott Kelly NASA astronaut ers, once they have delivered their shipments and are filled with trash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program plans for these kinds of things to happen. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very unfortunate when they do,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly, one month into a yearlong mission, which will be a record for NASA. He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The important thing is hardware can be replaced.â&#x20AC;?

Kornienko called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big concern.â&#x20AC;? But he expressed â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 percent confidenceâ&#x20AC;? that operations will continue as planned until the next shipment arrives. Supplying the space station is mostly handled by the United States and Russia. NASA hired SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp. to provide regular shipments, once

the shuttle program ended in 2011. SpaceX plans to send up a load of supplies in June; its most recent shipment arrived less than two weeks ago. This is the second cargo ship lost in the past half year. In October, Orbital Sciences suffered a launch explosion in Virginia that destroyed a station supply ship. NASA officials want a six-month supply of food on the space station, but because of the Orbital Sciences accident, the reserves are down a month or so. The Japanese Space Agency also periodically sends up cargo; it is aiming for a summer shipment Six people currently live

at the space station: two Americans, one Italian and three Russians. Just days before Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch, Roscosmos announced that the cargo ship held a copy of the Banner of Victory, the red flag with the Soviet hammer and sickle that was raised over the Reichstag in Berlin by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. It is a highly revered symbol of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. But on Wednesday, the agency said the banner was already on the space station, arriving with Kelly and Kornienko in March. Russia is planning extensive celebrations for the 70th anniversary of Victory Day on May 9.

Pain at the pump?

In transition

Financial analysts predict that Exxon Mobilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-quarter earnings fell from a year ago. The energy giant, due to report its latest financial results today, has been investing more on oil exploration and other capital expenses. That, plus the impact of falling oil prices and a decline in oil production, contributed to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower earnings in the fourth quarter.

Dreamworks Animation delivers its first-quarter report card today. The studio behind animated films such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;How To Train Your Dragonâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Penguins of Madagascarâ&#x20AC;? is projected to deliver a loss for the quarter. Dreamworks is coming off a tough 2014, during which it had some box-office misses. Management has said that 2015 would be a transitional year for the company. It has also announced plans to restructure its feature film business.

Mom questions how to protect her son WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: My son’s marriage broke up after 10 years. Twice they attended counseling because his wife wanted to see other men. The third time, she was actually dating another guy. He and “Mandy” share custody of their three children. Mandy had a troubled upbringing. Her mother neglected her, and she ended up in state care. At 18, she lived with a cousin in exchange for baby-sitting. This only worked until the cousin discovered Mandy was sleeping with her husband. Mandy has a college degree, which she obtained while married to my son, but even while he paid alimony, along with her rent and utilities, she never made any effort to find work. She then took the money she received from my son’s retirement account and moved to another state to live near some guy she met on the Internet, leaving the kids with their father. The children were devastated. My son now works 12-hour days while his current girlfriend (a saint) watches the children. Mandy is now emailing our relatives, claiming my son beat her and the girlfriend is beating the children. She says she is broke and suicidal, has autism and PTSD and cannot live a decent life. If that’s true, however, she would be

eligible for disability benefits, but she refuses to apply or seek counseling. Mandy drinks and smokes pot and obviously has some mental health issues. She threatens to sue for sole custody so my son will have to pay her child support. She has alienated her entire family and most of her friends. She has no one other than the current boyfriend, who lives with his mother and has no job. Should we send her money? How do we protect our son? — Worried Mom Dear Worried: Your son needs to document every instance of Mandy’s erratic behavior and keep copies of her harassing emails in case she follows through with her threats. Do not send her money as a consequence of her blackmailing efforts. It will only reward her negative behavior and ramp up the demands. Instead, if you choose to do so, you could offer to pay for therapy sessions (sending the money directly to the therapist after verifying credentials). This would be for the ben-

Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Too Many Grandmas,” whose mother doesn’t want her ex-husband’s fiancee, “Kitty,” to be called “Grandma Kitty.” While bitterness and a grudge may play a part, the bigger issue is that “Kitty” did not give birth to or raise these children. It is inappropriate to give her the title of “Grandma.” To do so is a discredit to the biological grandmas. Grandma Edna should not be expected to share the honor of the title with her ex-husband’s fiancee, because it is hurtful to her. They can find another term that shows respect but doesn’t take away from those who have earned the title. — Rapid City, S.D. Dear Rapid City: It is counterproductive to put so much emotional weight on a title. Kitty has known the granddaughter just as long as Edna has. The girl loves both of these women and shouldn’t be stuck listening to Grandma Edna cry over Kitty. If “Too Many” chooses to have her daughter call Kitty something else, that’s up to her. It’s not up to Edna.
