County short after MDOC payments BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Mississippi Department of Corrections recently caught up on some delayed monthly reimbursements to Alcorn County totaling about $1 million. Last week, the county received payments for November and December — months when

there were no state prisoners in the correctional facility — after previously receiving payments for February and March. While the county was excited to see those payments, it still faces a likely deficit in the correctional facility’s finances for the fiscal year. Chancery Clerk Greg Younger said the county

continues to look at options to address that situation, including refinancing the bond to lower the monthly payment and exploring the possibility of obtaining prisoners from other sources. The facility has beds left empty by MDOC’s decision to provide the minimum number of contractually guaranteed

prisoners at each of the regional facilities across the state. Local and private legislation that would allow Alcorn County to seek other sources of prisoners appears to be on the verge of becoming law. Senate Bill 2958, passed by the House and Senate, authorizes the Board of Supervisors to contract with the federal

government or other states for the housing of minimum or medium security oﬀenders. Sen. Rita Potts Parks, who sponsored the legislation, said the governor is expected to sign the bill on May 13. The facility held close to 300 state inmates daily before MDOC scaled back to 240.

Blitz calls for railroad safety BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

See tracks? Think train. Norfolk Southern employees were present at two downtown Corinth railroad crossings last week asking the public to watch out for oncoming trains.

As part of a new Operation Lifesaver campaign for rail public safety, employees handed out key chains and brochures during the safety blitz. “Whenever people see railroad tracks, we want them to use caution and expect a

train,” said Supervisor Special Agent Bill Allsopp with Norfolk Southern’s police department. “We were reminding and urging drivers to use caution before and as they are crossing Please see BLITZ | 5

Severe storm crosses McNairy County BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Today is Tuesday, May 3, the 124th day of 2016. There are 242 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 3, 1791, the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania adopted a constitution.

SELMER, Tenn. — A Sunday afternoon severe thunderstorm left damage across a path in Selmer. The National Weather Service called the storm a microburst with straight line winds of 75 miles per hour. McNairy County Emergency Management Director Rudy Moore said

the storm hit Selmer around 5 p.m. Sunday. He does not have an estimate on damages associated with the storm, but did say no homes were destroyed by the storm. “The storm was pretty much confined to an area around U.S. 64 West and Country Club Lane in Selmer,” he said. “We had several trees down and some homes had

In 1765, the first school of medicine in the American colonies, the Medical School of the College of Philadelphia (now the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania), was founded. In 1802, Washington, D.C. was incorporated as a city. In 1916, Irish nationalists Padraic Pearse, Thomas Clarke and Thomas MacDonagh were executed by a British firing squad; they were among 16 people put to death for their roles in the Easter Rising. In 1933, Nellie T. Ross became the first female director of the U.S. Mint. In 1945, during World War II, Allied forces recaptured Rangoon from the Japanese.

roof damage from trees falling on them.” There were some limbs knocked down in other places like the McNairy County Courthouse, Ervin Hester Road and Higginbottom Road. A microburst is a small downdraft that moves in a way opposite of a tornado. Microbursts are found in strong thunderstorms.

A microburst often has high winds that can knock over fully grown trees. They usually last for a couple of seconds to several minutes. Pickwick Electric Cooperative spokesperson Brad Howell here were approximately 3,000 customers without power due to the storm. He said most customers had their power re-

stored by 10 p.m. Sunday. “We are doing a damage assessment,” Howell said. “Our workers worked throughout the night to fix the damage from downed poles and wires.” Sunday’s storm did force a couple of cars oﬀ U.S. 64 West, but without any injuries in the accidents.

Savannah Hardin County will celebrate tourism SAVANNAH, Tenn. — As the Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau prepares to celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) through Saturday, the tourism industry is campaigning for travel, and encouraging everyone to join them in support. Local Honey & Sorghum

National Travel and Tourism Week is an annual event that champions and salutes the power of the tourism industry. Hospitality, travel and tourism professionals from across the nation work throughout the week to promote the impactful contributions their travel markets and organizations make to the U.S. economy. National travel and tourism studies have shown just how greatly travel benefits relationships, families and children. Kids who travel with their families are more likely to attend college, and earn more as adults. And it’s good for a person’s well-being— numerous research studies have confirmed the positive health effects of travel and time off, from reducing the risk of heart disease to decreasing depression. Tennessee tourism reports an annual economic impact of $17.7 billion arriving from 101.3 million visitors. “It’s the first time for Tennessee to reach over a million visitors,” said CVB Director Beth Pippin, “It’s an amazing statement coming from a state with no coastline.” Here are a few ways to get involved: ■ The Tennessee River Museum in downtown Savannah will offer free admission all week. ■ Join on Monday, May 2 from 5 to 6 p.m. at Savannah City Hall for an art reception and display by local artist Hans Hufnagl ■ Wednesday, May 4, will feature a live broadcast with WKWX from River City Market on court square as well

Tupelo Tupelo schools must offer special needs TUPELO — State education officials are requiring the Tupelo school district to develop a plan for how it will meet the physical and educational needs of a student who has cerebral palsy. The Mississippi Department of Education gave the local district 30 days to develop the plan, and 60 days to provide teachers with training on how to teach students who have multiple disabilities. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the Tupelo district is appealing several findings from the state department’s investigation. Lori Loden, mother a 7-year-old student at Lawhon Elementary School, filed a formal complaint against the Tupelo district, claiming it failed to provide appropriate special education services to meet her son’s physical, medical and educational needs. Loden is no relation to Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden. The child has stopped attending Lawhon since the complaint was filed. “He needs the opportunity to be taught in the right way, with the right materials and right instructors,” said the child’s grandmother, Kay Loden. The school district said in a statement it is developing a plan to ensure it takes appropriate

actions, including things it was planning to do regardless of sanctions from the Department of Education. The district are questioning how the investigation was conducted, saying it in a statement that it appears those in charge of the probe were neither administrators nor special education teachers. The Department of Education investigated the complaint by conducting on-site interviews with Loden, her child’s teachers and other district officials and by observing the child’s classroom.

Memphis ‘Ghost of the Blues’ revue to hit theatre MEMPHIS, Tenn. — “Ghost of the Blues” recently announced that Mud Morganfield, the eldest son of Muddy Waters, from Chicago, Ill. was contracted as a principal player in the blues revue. “Mud Morganfield is rapidly becoming a true ‘blues legend’ in his own right, and will be playing the part of his father in our production,” said R. Norbert Knight, the show’s producer. Morganfield won the BMA for “Best Traditional Album” in 2015. “We are pleased that he can cut his European tour short and join us in Memphis,” said Knight. Morganfield is an authentic blues man whose pedigree came to him through the DNA of the biggest legend of the blues. “Ghost of the Blues” will appear at the Orpheum Theatre at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 6.

Corinth, Miss.

Court reverses law on rape sentences JACKSON — Even the Mississippi Supreme Court gets to change its mind. And it did so in April, ruling that judges can sentence people convicted of rape to life in prison, even if the jury Jeff Amy didn’t recommend a life sentence. In that 5-3 ruling, the Columnist court overturned 40 years of its own decisions that had previously found only a jury could sentence a rape defendant to life in prison. The ruling came in an appeal by Charles Bester, who pleaded guilty to rape and robbery charges in Jones County in 1992. He was sentenced to life by a judge after the plea, but appealed in 2012, saying the court had erred. Bester lost his case before the circuit judge and Court of Appeals. He might have felt hopeful when the high court agreed to review the appeal. But it turns out a majority of justices used the case to announce two dozen previous decisions were wrong and the court had been misreading Mississippi’s criminal code since 1975. “We think it pernicious, i.e., harmful, for this court to continue to exceed its constitutional authority by judicially amending (the law) and limiting a judge’s sentencing authority as established by the Legislature,” wrote Associate Justice Ann H. Lamar, acknowledging the court was overturning decades of precedent. She was joined in the decision by presiding justices Jess H. Dickinson and Michael K. Randolph, as well as associate justices Josiah D. Coleman and Dawn Beam. Lamar wrote that life imprisonment was included in language that said a judge could sentence a defendant “for any term as the court, in its discretion, may determine.” She noted the Legislature structured other laws governing sentencing in ways that limit a judge’s authority. For example, a jury can agree to sentence a convicted kidnapper to life in prison, but if a jury can’t agree to a life sentence, a judge can sentence the kidnapper to a term between one and 30 years in prison. It’s a tough-on-crime ruling in an election year — four of the court’s nine seats are up this year. Kitchens, Beam and Justice Jimmy Maxwell — are seeking election. Lamar is retiring. Three dissenters, though, said the majority had it all wrong. Associate Justices Jim Kitchens and Leslie King, in separate dissents that were both joined by Chief Justice Bill Waller, wrote that Lamar was misinterpreting the law. Both Kitchens and King said that “term,” in the context of this law, meant a sentence for a set number of years and not an indefinite life sentence. “This court consistently has distinguished ‘life imprisonment’ from ‘term’ for nearly forty years,” Kitchens wrote, citing 23 separate cases over that period. He wrote that federal courts follow a similar approach, allowing only a jury to impose a life sentence. Just as importantly, the dissenters said that even if the court had been wrong 40 years ago, the majority was throwing decades of precedent into the trash far too lightly. King wrote that the court shouldn’t have acted on its own to discard precedent, especially because the state hadn’t sought a change: “Such action on the part of this court is surely to be an unpleasant shock to the criminal defense bar of this state.” Kitchens, if anything, was harsher. “As troubled as this court may be by the statute’s perceived unconstitutional lenience in sentencing rapists and armed robbers, today the court itself acts unconstitutionally by overruling an interpretation of the statute that has been as consistently ratified by the Legislature as it has been consistently applied by this court,” he wrote. Bester remains imprisoned in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeﬀ Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Prayer for today Loving Father, may I lay hold upon the highest standards of friendship and so be qualified to be a friend. May those who call and lean on me feel secure in my support. May none ever be ashamed to call me friend. Grant that those whom I love may keep faith with me. Amen.

A verse to share “He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.” –Psalms 102:17

The end of pieties When the Americans defeated the British at Yorktown, the surrendering British forces supposedly played “The World Turned Upside Down.” The song should be on the soundtrack at Donald Trump rallies. The mogul is marching toward the Republican nomination by trampling every single assumption about presidential politics, especially on the GOP side. Surely no campaign has ever before had a divisive internal fight over whether the candidate should be presidential or not. But that has reportedly been one of the points of contention between new Trump hand Paul Manafort and old Trump hand Corey Lewandowski, the contestants in a high-stakes episode of “Consultant Apprentice.” Trump is operating on the rather insulting assumption that he can’t act presidential – i.e., with too much dignity – while also attempting to appeal to his Republican voters, and so far he has been proved right. It’s just one of the ways in which he has seemed to understand the party he is seeking to take over better than its longtime loyalists. It was once thought that a

Republican presidential candidate had to pay constant obeisance to Ronald Rich Reagan and Lowry hew closely to certain National r h e t o rical Review tropes and policy truisms. It turns out that the Republican Party – or at least a sizable element of it -- isn’t that conservative, and even what were once thought to be the party’s most rigidly ideological guardians in talk radio aren’t really sticklers for conservative doctrine. It was once thought that any serious presidential candidate had to have political experience and be a committed member of the party he or she sought to lead, or at the very least not openly threaten it. Trump the novice, who re-registered as a Republican only in 2012, has appended the not-so-subtle warning “or else” to his candidacy from the beginning. It was once thought that you had to organize a campaign operation, run TV ads and raise money. Trump has barely done any of them. It was once thought that

you had to know something and demonstrate it in every setting, or risk seeming amateurish and not up for the job. Trump has blown through this norm. It was once thought that you had to act with some decorum, display respect for others and yourself, and avoid vulgarity and public displays of anger. Trump has made it his business to do the opposite and, even after reining himself in a little, is still the most outlandish presidential candidate in memory. We have destroyed manners and chivalry over recent decades – with popular and celebrity culture leading the way – and the left has tried to replace them with political correctness. As a celebrity comfortable in the realms of Howard Stern and the WWE, Trump has little loyalty to the old standards at the same time he (rightly) rejects political correctness. This is a license for unconstrained boorishness. And it has played well in the party of evangelicals, of social conservatism and of disdain for Hollywood and for elite libertinism. Trump has barely made a pretense of religiosity, and been incredibly overt in his vindic-

tiveness and braggadocio. Clearly, what a certain segment of conservatives didn’t like about Mitt Romney wasn’t his pedigree as a Northeastern moderate – which he shares with Trump – so much as his decorousness. Peggy Noonan wrote a book on Reagan called “When Character Was King.” The follow-up for our era could be called “When Character Became a Sign of Weakness.” The old pieties don’t have the hold they once did, but Trump’s celebrity and unsurpassed media skills have also allowed him to get away with things that more conventional candidates never could. At least with Republican voters. Everyone else is another question. If Trump wins the nomination, he has to hope that swing voters are as enamored of belittling nicknames and brash put-downs (”if Hillary were a man ...”), and that the traditional rules of how a president acts and represents the country no longer apply. He will need the world to be turned upside down. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Are fantasy sports considered gambling? STARKVILLE — Is everyone who plays fantasy sports a gambler? Of course not, just as not everyone who plays poker or blackjack is a gambler. But are fantasy sports considered gambling by a substantial portion of the people who play it? Absolutely. Ask Joe Asher, operator of Nevada sports book operator William Hill U.S., who told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2015: “You put up of something of value, cash, to win something of value, cash. It’s the classic definition of gambling.” A bill that would make playing fantasy sports legal in Mississippi is now awaiting Gov. Phil Bryant’s signature. Earlier in the 2016 session, the bill was amended to include authorization of a lottery in Mississippi – something that has been bouncing around Mississippi’s political landscape for the last 25 years or so. In most years, longsuﬀering State Rep. Alyce Clarke, D-Jackson, has carried the legislative torch for a Mississippi lottery, but it was Rep. Tommy Reynolds, DWater Valley, who tacked on the lottery amendment to the fantasy sports legislation. But the lottery was stripped out of the fantasy sports bill late in the ses-

sion. O n c e again, the unintended coalition rose up to knock Sid Salter the lottery down. The Columnist unintended coalition is comprised of the existing casinos companies, their business friends, the political power structure loyal to both groups and the state’s churches. For good or ill, proponents project that a state lottery could bring in $160 million a year in new tax revenues to Mississippi. Mississippi is one of only six states without a lottery and our citizens pour across state lines to patronize the game in surrounding states. Another thing that Mississippi casino owners and operators did after getting a foothold in Mississippi in the early 1990s was to take a lesson from local option liquor and beer elections in the state on how to beat back competition. In booze elections, the unintended coalition is usually the “dry” county’s churches and the same county’s bootleggers. The second thing those casino companies did was

to hire very eﬀective, very powerful, and very influential lobbyists to protect their virtual monopoly on legal gambling in Mississippi. Those lobbyists spin a compelling narrative against the lottery proposals that goes like this – that it’s really bad for the state to get in the business of luring citizens to play the lottery and that a lottery would “cannibalize” existing casinos gross receipts. Mississippi’s churches — consistently — say Mississippi already has too much gambling and doesn’t need any more. Those sincere religious voices point out that while the casinos are isolated, lottery ticket sales would be in every community in Mississippi. Whether one agrees or not, who can’t respect that? But in terms of state and local tax revenue, Mississippi missed the boat or at least the dockside establishment. In comparison with other states that have commercial casinos, Mississippi has the second-lowest state gaming tax rate in the country behind only Nevada. Mississippi levies a 12 percent tax rate on gross casino gaming revenues, of which 8 percent goes to the state and 4 percent to local governments. Louisiana levies

21.5 percent — plus another 4 percent local tax. With over a million fewer gamblers visiting fewer casinos, Louisiana took in $440.9 million in FY 2015 gaming revenues while Mississippi with more gamblers and more casinos only collected $250.2 million in gaming revenues. No wonder the casinos like Mississippi. We’re easy pickings and the profit margins are much higher when the state collects less of their take. Sen. Sean Tindell, RGulfport, chairman of the Senate Judiciary A Committee and the author of the fantasy sports legislation, is one who oﬀers the “fantasy sports isn’t gambling” argument – calling fantasy sports a “game of skill, not a game of chance.” I’m not opposed to fantasy sports. It’s another way that a fool and their money can soon be parted in my book, but to each his own. Live and let live. I just hope that the 2017 Legislature will figure out a better way to tax fantasy sports – now a $70 billion industry - than they did casino gaming 25 years ago.

My brother Ronnie and I were nothing alike. He was good; I was bad. Curious about everything, I got into trouble constantly, and received many a switching because of Ronnie’s snitching. Occasionally, though, events worked in my favor. Such was the case with his good buddy, Chippie the chipmunk. Wild creatures interested Dad, and if he caught one, he’d bring it home for a few days before setting it free. Once he brought home a chipmunk and put it in a birdcage. “Boys, what shall we name him?” I suggested

Monk, but Dad preferred Ronnie’s choice: Chippie. When Ronnie tried feeding Chippie a peanut, it bared razor-sharp incisors, expanded its cheek pouches, glared furiously with beady black eyes, and made threatening chirring sounds. “Aw, come on, let’s be good buddies,” my brother coaxed, and again extended the peanut, which Chippie swiped at with needle-like claws. The next day Ronnie removed the cage’s lid and dropped a peanut to Chippie, who gobbled it down. An idea popped into his head … a really bad idea.

“See! Chippie has accepted me as his good buddy. I’m going to ease my hand down and gently pick him up. Then I can hold and feed him at the same time.” Blessed by Satan with a sadistic mind, I said, “Great idea — that will prove y’all really are good buddies.” Ronnie slipped on one of Dad’s work gloves, and confident that the chipmunk couldn’t bite through the thick leather, eased the top oﬀ the cage and reached toward Chippie, who seemed unperturbed. As my brother’s fingers closed gently around what

he thought was his good buddy, Chippie opened his jaws so wide that it squeezed his eyes shut — and clamped down! Those incisors went straight through the leather and into Ronnie’s thumb. When my screaming sibling tried to shake loose his attacker, Chippie bit even harder. Jumping up and down and flinging his arm around, he tried desperately to free his hand from the enraged animal. Finally, satisfied that he had exacted as much pain as possible, Chippie let go. When he did, he and the glove went sailing across the room, knocked over one of Mama’s prized

lamps, and thudded ominously into the wall. Then I heard Dad’s boots clumping up the back steps. I looked at my squalling brother and thought … Oh boy! Your misery has just begun. Dad looked at the empty cage, shattered lamp, and deceased chipmunk, still attached to the glove. “Which one of you did this?” he roared. As he removed the dreaded belt, Ronnie begged, “Please don’t whip me, Dad. Look what Chippie did to my thumb!” His pleas went unheeded, as Dad laid on the stripes. Then we heard Mama wail and saw her

glaring at the ruined lamp. Her willow switch picked up where the belt left oﬀ. By the time his punishment was over, Ronnie’s fate was about as bad as Chippie’s demise. Never again did he mention his good buddy, Chippie the chipmunk.

Gift benefits UM Honors College Associated Press

OXFORD — University of Mississippi alumnus Bob Galloway has designated the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and the Lamar Order at the UM School of Law as beneficiaries of a $1.6 million planned gift. The Gulfport resident said he knows the importance of planned giving and wants to support two university entities that helped shape his future. The Robert C. Galloway Endowment will be shared equally by the Honors College and Lamar Order to help cover

operating expenses. A Carrier Scholar, Galloway was a member of the University Scholars Program as an undergraduate. The program eventually evolved into the Honors College. “I’ve been very impressed with the things the Honors College has done, so I thought it would be a good recipient,” Galloway said. Gifts such as Galloway’s enable the Honors College to significantly expand its footprint, said Douglass Sullivan-González, the college’s dean. “Private gifts open

windows of opportunity for our students to engage our world as scholar and citizen,” he said. “We must move beyond the traditional classroom and create teaching moments in a variety of places and languages as we answer together the fundamental questions of our time. “Galloway’s gift in particular will help sustain student research and experiential learning that paves the way for our Honors College to set the debate on campus for both students and faculty.”

A typical freight train can take more than a mile to stop, even when emergency brakes are applied, according to the special agent. “That’s the distance of 18 football fields,” he added. Railroad safety is extremely important in downtown Corinth, as train speeds were increased last year from 25 m.p.h. to 40 m.p.h. An average of 31 trains pass through Corinth on the busy east-west line each day. (For more information, visit seetracksthink.org.)

What is missing in our world today? What is it that children lack in their interaction with adults? What is it that adults lack in their interaction with each other? What is it that citizens lack in their interaction with those who are in authority? What is one root cause of the bitterness in the workplace today? What is one root cause of the murders that are taking place throughout our land? What is one root cause of the vile attacks that are taking place among politicians and elected officials? What is one root cause of the all-out assault that is being waged against Christians today? When you start asking questions like these, there are a number of answers that could be given. And, as always, “Jesus” and “the gospel” are definitely the key answers. One of the central teachings that comes from Jesus and the gospel in regard to our interaction with others if the fundamental, essential, oft-neglected matter of good old R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Now that you know the answer, let me ask a few more questions. What is needed in our homes today? What is needed between a husband and wife today? What is needed between children and parents today? What is needed among siblings today? What is needed in the church today? What is needed between church members and elders today? What is needed toward lost souls today? What is needed for those who are elderly today? What is need for those of a different race today? What is needed for the snooty customer service representative today? What is needed for school teachers and principals today? What is needed for public servants today? What is needed for police officers and firefighters and first responders today? What is needed for our military men and women today? What is needed for every living soul on the planet? In case you forgot- R-E-S-P-E-C-T. It should not surprise us one iota that many people today have no respect for God! What would lead them to have respect for a God who they cannot see when most of them have no respect for His living creations who they do see? But, respect for God is where it starts- “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all” (Ecc. 12:13). Do you respect God? Then, we must respect our fellow man! Every one of them! Even the ones who are hard to respect! Even the ones that we are being told not to respect! “Honor all people” (1 Pet. 2:17). “Do good unto all men” (Gal. 6:10). “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:39), even “your enemies” (Matt. 5:44). “In everything...treat people the same way you want them to treat you” (Matt. 7:12, NASB). Heaven will not be home to the disrespectful! Reader Your Bible. Welcome.

State seeks more computer science education BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — Greene County School Superintendent Charles Breland sees the need for more Mississippians trained in computer science. A former technology coordinator in the rural southeast Mississippi district, he said Monday that his school system has struggled to hire a computer technician itself. That’s one reason Breland is excited about a new state eﬀort to increase computer science instruction in schools. A total of 34 districts will send 167 elementary

school and 68 high school teachers for training this summer, in the first phase of a plan to increase learning about computers in all grades. “We see the need for so many tech-related jobs out there that aren’t filled,” said Breland, whose district plans to send seven fifth-grade teachers and one high school teacher. “I look at it as future economic development for not only Greene County but the state of Mississippi.” By most measures, Mississippi lags far behind in computer instruction. According to the College Board, only five Mississip-

pi students took the Advanced Placement exam in computer science in 2015, compared with 293 in Arkansas, which has a similar population size. “Computer science has never been a real push we’ve had,” Associate State Superintendent Jean Massey said. But interest among school leaders is high, said Shelly Hollis, project manager at MSU’s Research and Curriculum Unit. “We were hoping we’d get 12 districts to participate, and we got 38,” she said. The state Department of Education and Mississippi State University

announced last week that they are working together on the eﬀort. The department also will train teachers to fold some computer instruction into fifth-grade classes, aiming for roughly an hour of instruction per week. “It’s about getting kids in K-5 interested in computer science,” Massey said. At the high school level, the state is rolling out an entry-level Exploring Computer Science class developed by the University of California, Los Angeles. Massey said that ninth-grade class could lead to Advanced Placement courses for juniors and higher-level college

classes for seniors. It could also lead to careertechnical education and industry certifications offered by community colleges. This year’s push, including $200,000 the state will spend on training, is just the beginning. The idea is develop a sixth-grade unit next year, and then curricula for seventh and eighth grades, leading to a seamless K-12 curriculum by 2024. Districts had to make a three-year commitment to use the curriculum, send teachers to training sessions, send back data for evaluation, and pro-

vide enough computers and adequate Internet bandwidth. But for now, teachers don’t have to have any particular qualifications. Massey said she’ll judge the success of the eﬀort according to how many students get computer jobs or study the subject in college. Both she and Hollis said they believe computer science instruction is here to stay. “Every day, there’s something else that’s getting transferred to technology,” Hollis said. “We all have to take biology in school. We’re not all biologists, but it’s a basic part of the world we live in.”

Education secretary seeking Trump looks for knockout repeal of 2 transgender laws as Cruz fights for survival The Associated Press

BOSTON — Laws in North Carolina and Mississippi that restrict the rights of transgender Americans are hateful and should be repealed, Education Secretary John B. King Jr. said Monday. Asked about the laws at the Education Writers Association national conference in Boston, King called them hateful and said gender identity should be protected. He said the laws send a problematic message to students and he is calling on state legislatures to repeal them. “My hope is legislators will realize they’ve made a terrible mistake,” he said. The North Carolina law requires transgender people to use bathrooms in state government buildings and public schools and universities that correspond to

the gender on their birth certificates. It also established statewide antidiscrimination protections that exclude LGBT people, and it bans communities from passing anti-discrimination ordinances that go further. Last month, President Barack Obama called for the law to be overturned. Transgender advocates and the Obama administration have argued federal anti-discrimination law requires that transgender students be able to use the restroom and locker room that correspond with their gender identity. A federal appeals court ruled last month in a Virginia case that a high school discriminated against a transgender teen by forbidding him from using the boys’ restroom. The U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to a

lower court for trial rather than issuing a definitive decision. In a court filing in that case, the U.S. Education Department and the Justice Department argued that preventing students from using restrooms that correspond with their gender identity violates Title IX of federal law. “Treating a student differently from other students because his birthassigned sex diverges from his gender identity constitutes diﬀerential treatment on the basis of sex under Title IX,” the departments said in a friend-of-the-court brief. The Mississippi law allows religious groups and some private businesses to deny services to same-sex couples and transgender people. Any employer or school could refuse to allow transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice.

The Associated Press

OSCEOLA, Ind. — Ted Cruz’s conservative crusade for the presidency fought for new life Monday ahead of an Indiana vote that could eﬀectively end the GOP’s primary season. The fiery Texas senator hinted at an exit strategy, even as he vowed to compete to the end against surging Republican front-runner Donald Trump. “I am in for the distance — as long as we have a viable path to victory,” Cruz told reporters after campaigning at a popular breakfast stop. With his supporters fearing Cruz could lose a seventh consecutive state Tuesday, the candidate’s formulation hinted at a time when he may give up. Like Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Cruz is already mathematically eliminated from reaching a delegate majority before the Republican Party’s national convention in July. He retreated to Indiana more than a week ago, hoping a win could at least help him deny Trump an outright primary victory and lead to a contested convention. But a recent poll of likely Indiana voters showed Trump holding a commanding lead. At a stop in Monday in Marion, Indiana, Trump supporters confronted Cruz. “Lyin’ Ted!” yelled one, using Trump’s pet name for his rival. “What do you like about him?” Cruz asked the man. “Name one thing.” “Everything,” the protester replied. After six straight victories across the Northeast late last month, math and momentum are on Trump’s side. The antiTrump movement’s only hope is to deny the billionaire businessman a 1,237-delegate majority

by defeating him in Indiana and the handful of contests remaining over the next month. Then, Cruz or another candidate would have to beat him when delegates gather in Cleveland in July. “Millions of Americans are praying for this state,” Cruz said. “The entire country is depending on the state of Indiana to pull us back from this cliff.” Trump’s team sensed an Indiana knockout. “Indiana is Ted Cruz’s firewall. It’s where he says that it’s make-or-break for him,” Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said. “And if he loses tomorrow night, he has to once again try and articulate why he is still in this race.” Tuesday features a primary on the Democratic side, too. New signs emerged that front-runner Hillary Clinton’s chief rival Bernie Sanders is fading as well. Clinton announced $26 million in new fundraising in April, narrowly beating Sanders. His total of $25.8 million last month marked a steep decline from $46 million he collected in March. Sanders also refused to report how much money he had in the bank, raising questions about whether he can sustain his online fundraising dominance as his path to the nomination becomes less likely. Shrugging off the numbers, Sanders, like Cruz, vowed to “fight hard as hard as we can for every vote.” He called the Democratic primary process “rigged,” noting that he has won 45 percent of the pledged delegates awarded after primaries or caucuses, but only about 7 percent of superdelegates, the Democratic officials and party leaders who can support the candidate of their choice. Still, Sanders showed

no signs of letting up on Clinton, pointing to differences with the former secretary of state over fundraising, Goldman Sachs speeches, the Iraq war, fracking and the minimum wage. Polls show a close vote is likely. With Sanders struggling for traction, Cruz barnstormed Indiana with five stops on Monday alone in a desperate sprint for support alongside his latest high-profile supporter, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. “We need every single vote,” he declared at Bravo Cafe in Osceola, where he predicted a tight finish the next day. Trump led by 15 points in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll conducted last week. That’s even after Cruz took extraordinary steps to boost his chances in the state. He announced his pick for vice president last week, unveiling former businesswoman Carly Fiorina as his running mate at an Indiana stop that appeared rushed. Days earlier, he declared alliance of sorts with Kasich in which the Ohio governor agreed to pull his advertising from Indiana airwaves. The strategy seemed to unravel even as it was announced. And it may have backfired. The NBC poll found nearly 6 in 10 Indiana primary voters disapproved of the Cruz-Kasich arrangement. Trump’s advantage comes even as he’s getting badly outspent on advertising in the state. He has spent about $1 million on ads over Indiana airwaves, while Cruz’s campaign, pro-Cruz super PACs and anti-Trump groups have combined for about $6.4 million, according to data from Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group.

Cops kill man while executing warrant ALAMO, Tenn. â€” The weekend shooting death of a man by officers executing a search warrant at a home has prompted an investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the agency said Monday Agents of Tennesseeâ€™s top law enforcement agency gathered information Monday about the shooting in Alamo in the western part of the state, the bureauâ€™s statement said. It added that the shooting occurred at 3:30 a.m. Sunday while deputies of Crockett County and a Maury City police officer were executing the warrant. The statement said 28-year-old Ronald Branch, who did not live at the residence, entered with a weapon and the situation escalated, leading to shots being fired. TBI spokesman Josh DeVine said itâ€™s not clear who fired first. Police said Branch, who was white, was shot and died later at a hospital. The deputies and the officer werenâ€™t hurt. Their races werenâ€™t immediately disclosed. Crockett County Sheriff Troy Klyce told The Jackson Sun that Branch had â€œmultiple handgunsâ€? when he entered the residence. He said the deputies were placed on routine administrative leave while the shooting investigation continues. Â

Man locks himself inside Guard armory PERRY HALL, Md. â€” Authorities say a man barricaded himself inside a National Guard armory in Maryland for about three hours before being taken into custody. No one was injured. The Baltimore County Police Department said on its Twitter feed that the unidentified, unarmed man had been holed up Monday at the Guardâ€™s MG William C. Purnell Readiness Center in the Glen Arm section of the county. Police say he never had access to the armoryâ€™s weapons. Authorities say Army personnel saw the man

and called police. They say police negotiation and tactical units also arrived because of the sensitive location. It isnâ€™t clear why the man was there or if he had made any demands. Police say heâ€™s being taken for evaluation, but they arenâ€™t releasing details. Â

97 on Disney cruise ill with stomach flu ORLANDO, Fla. â€” The CDC is investigating an outbreak of a stomach bug aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship last week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 92 passengers and 5 crew members reported falling ill. The ship had almost 2,700 passengers and almost 1,000 crew members. It left Miami last Wednesday and returned Sunday after going to the Bahamas. A spokeswoman says Disney Cruise Line implemented added sanitation measures such as continuous cleaning of handrails. Self-service stations at buffets and ice cream stations also were discontinued to limit passenger contact with food. The ill passengers were confined to their rooms for 24 hours, and cruise activities werenâ€™t affected. The primary symptom was vomiting. Â

Cops put on leave after fatal shooting ORLANDO, Fla. â€” Police officers involved in the fatal shooting of a man carrying an imitation firearm have been placed on customary administrative leave during an investigation, authorities said Monday. Officers repeatedly told Charlin Charles to put down the gun, but he raised it and two officers fired at him, according to a police report. A single officer arrived first at the scene early Sunday in response to a report that Charles was walking up and down a busy street carrying a firearm. The officer then called for backup. The gun ended up being a â€œsimulatedâ€? gun. Charles, 25, was black; the officers

are white. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was investigating. The department is also investigating a separate, nonfatal shooting involving an Orange County Sheriffâ€™s Office deputy. Vinod Persaud, 27, was in the hospital after being shot late Saturday, Orange County Sheriffâ€™s Office spokesman Capt. Angelo Nieves said. According to a Sheriffâ€™s Office report, Persaud fled the scene after his vehicle was involved in a crash with off-duty deputy sheriff Anthony Claudio. The deputy followed Persaud and when Persaud parked on a street, Claudio approached him. Persaud became belligerent and reached for his glove compartment, according to the report. Â

Hastertâ€™s wrestling hall awards revoked STILLWATER, Okla. â€” The National Wrestling Hall of Fame said Monday that it has revoked all honors for Dennis Hastert after the former House speaker was accused of sexually abusing teenagers decades ago. The Oklahoma-based organization said its Board of Governors approved the revocation after its ethics committee found that Hastertâ€™s actions were â€œdetrimental to the ideals and objectivesâ€? of the Wrestling Hall of Fame. Executive Director Lee Roy Smith said the organization decided to wait for the outcome of Hastertâ€™s criminal case before taking any action. â€œIn the 40 years since it was founded, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame has never had to remove an individual who had received one of its highest awards,â€? Smith said in a statement Monday. Hastert was sentenced to 15 months in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to breaking federal banking rules in a scheme to cover up sexual abuse. Federal prosecutors accused Hastert of sexually abusing high school athletes when he was a wrestling coach in Yorkville, Illinois.

Man gets 60 years in crash that killed 2 HOLLY SPRINGS â€” A Mississippi man is set to spend 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to a drunken-driving crash that killed two students from a high school in the Memphis suburb of Eads, Tennessee. WMC-TV reports a judge on Monday sentenced Melandus Penson of Belden to 120 years but suspended half of the sentence. Penson pleaded guilty to two counts of DUI death in the May 31, 2015, crash that killed two 17-year-old girls, Maddie Kruse and Rachel Lynch. He also pleaded guilty to two counts of DUI negligent injury and a charge of aggravated assault. The Briarcrest Christian School students were going on vacation with two other friends and were being driven by the grandmother of one girl. The crash happened on U.S. Highway 78 in Marshall County, Mississippi. Â

Margaritaville jobs draw hopeful crowd BILOXI â€” Construction crews worked through the weekend getting Margaritaville Resort Biloxi ready for a June opening, while people hoping to snag one of the 600 jobs at the resort lined up for an interview.

Teen: 2013 burglary arrest was improper CARROLLTON â€” A Carroll County teenager is suing for more than $3 million in damages, saying sheriffâ€™s deputies improperly arrested him for a 2013 burglary when they knew he was at church. The Greenwood Commonwealth reports that Bobby Glen Grisham III, through his guardian Marion E. Grantham, filed the federal suit March 31. It names former Carroll County Sheriff Jerry Carver and deputies Rod Banks, Brad Carver and Lee Taylor as defendants. Carroll County, in an answer filed last week, says the claim is barred under state law, that deputies acted reasonably, and that the suit should be thrown out for other reasons. Grisham says Carver had him arrested out of malice for a second burglary he didnâ€™t commit, claiming Carver and Banks had â€œpersonal knowledgeâ€? that he was at Carrollton Baptist Church at the time of the second incident. Grisham admits in the lawsuit that he took part in a Nov. 17, 2013, burglary of the J.Z. George High School field house and drove an all-terrain vehicle off school property. According to the lawsuit, Grisham later abandoned the allterrain vehicle, took a truck, and continued his joyriding.

He turned himself in to authorities â€œon or aboutâ€? Nov. 20 and confessed his guilt regarding the J.Z. George burglary and the theft of the two vehicles and joyriding. Grisham was charged with burglary of commercial property, motor vehicle theft for the allterrain vehicle and the truck, and malicious mischief. The teen was arrested and spent four days in the juvenile detention center after the second burglary, but the lawsuit says he has yet to be charged in connection with the incident. Â

Industrial park gets first tenant company MCCOMB â€” A Pike County industrial park has gained an Arkansas trucking company as its first tenant. On Friday, Pike County officials announced that Loggins Logistics of Jonesboro, Arkansas, will open a flatbed trucking terminal in the Gateway Industrial park. Pike County Economic Development District interim director Jill Busby Gunnell tells The Enterprise-Journal that the company plans to start construction immediately. President Jeff Loggins says his company plans to hire 25 employees, with hopes of expanding to 50. It will base 25 to 50 trucks at the terminal. Loggins Logistics specializes in transporting lumber, building and steel products. The county developed the industrial park in 2014, when oil drilling activity in the nearby Tuscaloosa Marine Shale region was high. But lower oil prices have halted drilling activity, hurting demand for space.

Beware stop orders Many ordinary investors don’t understand how so-called stop orders work in stock trading, experts say. Stop orders, or stop-loss orders, call for buying or selling a stock when its price reaches a specified level, the stop price. At that point, a stop order becomes a market order – buying or selling at the best available price, usually immediately. Stop orders carry risks. Regulators are wrestling with the issue. The stop price isn’t the guaranteed transaction price. It’s a trigger that turns the stop order into a market order. In

fast-moving markets with prices whipping around, your transaction price may be far from your intended stop price. An unexpected price can be avoided by using another type of order, a stop-limit. But the limit price may prevent the trade from happening. The risks featured in the “flash crash” of May 6, 2010, when over 20,000 stock trades went through at prices varying 60 percent or more from those 20 minutes earlier. Many retail stop orders, triggered by price declines, went into immediate selling mode in a market where buying interest fizzled.

Some commonly used orders for stock trading MARKET ORDER To buy or sell a stock at the best available price, usually immediately.

buy or sell a stock at a specified price LIMIT ORDER To or better. A BUY limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a SELL limit order can only be done at the limit price or higher.

Also known as a stop-loss order. To buy or sell a stock once its price reaches a specified level, the stop price. At that point, the stop order becomes a market order.

A BUY stop order is placed at a stop price above the current market price. Investors generally use a BUY stop order to limit a loss or protect a profit on a stock that they have sold short, betting that its price will fall.

A SELL stop order is put in at a stop price below the current market price. Investors normally use a SELL stop order to limit a loss or protect a profit on a stock that they own.

Industry analysts anticipate that the pace of U.S. auto sales increased in April. J.D. Power and LMC Automotive forecasts call for April sales to be up from a year ago at a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 17.6 million units. That would be up from 16.7 million a year earlier and faster than the 17 million pace forecast last month. Stronger job growth and consumer confidence have helped fuel U.S. car sales. Automakers report their April sales today.

Daughter worries about her mother WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: In three years, I will be away at college. I am concerned because Mom has a boyfriend with a major anger problem, and he throws tantrums and gets abusive. Mom has been in this relationship for a few years, and I’m afraid when I leave he will do some serious damage and I won’t be there to protect her. She has been going to therapy, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I love my mother and want the best for her. How can I convince her to get away from this man? — Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned: It is very diﬃcult for some women to get out of an abusive relationship, and the longer they are involved, the more they believe they deserve to be treated poorly. It’s good that Mom is getting therapy. She obviously needs it, and we hope it will help her find a way out. We know you are worried about her, but you are not responsible for her choices. If you witness this man being physically abusive or if he should come after you, call the police immediately. You also can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233) and ask if there is anything

Annie’s Mailbox more you can do. Dear Annie: Something unacceptable is happening with two casual friends. The man’s wife is in a nursing home with dementia. The woman’s husband is in a nursing home after a debilitating stroke. They are “dating.” The man has no children and is fairly low-key with his activities. The woman, however, is like a lovesick puppy. Her children are teenagers, and they seem uncomfortable with the situation. I know she is lonely, and I feel sorry for her, but frankly, I am embarrassed to be her friend. Another friend tried to talk to her about this, but she is too “in love” to listen to reason. I know I should MMOB, and I am, but what is your opinion? — Momma Do-Rite Dear Momma: As long as husbands and wives are taking care of their nursing-home spouses and visiting often, we have no objection to their spending an evening out with a friend. We concur, however, that it is inappropriate for this couple to flaunt a love aﬀair, especially since there are children in-

volved. However, you are a “casual friend,” so you need to keep out of it. Dear Annie: As an exwife who was married for 30 years, I disagree with your response to “Just Curious,” who asked about attending her ex-husband’s funeral. You also referred to the new wife as the “stepmother.” If the new wife helped raised young children from the first marriage, then yes. But if they were grown up when Dad remarried, as mine were, she is simply Dad’s wife. If the ex was married to this man and bore his children, then there is a long and serious connection, and she should be able to attend the funeral. If my ex-husband dies before me, I plan to attend. Out of respect for his present wife, I will be as inconspicuous as possible. But I intend to be there not only for myself, but to help my children and grandchildren through that time. — Loving Mother Dear Mother: The word “stepmother” refers to the woman Dad has married, whether you like it or not. The restriction on ex-wives attending the funeral is if your presence will cause a disruption and make the widow stressed. If you are certain you can avoid that, and your children want you there, it’s OK to go.
