Talk heats up over student releases BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County school board members took sides on Monday over a somewhat heated discussion regarding out of district student releases.

The Alcorn School District’s state funding is set to be cut more than $700,000 next year due to a decrease in average daily attendance, and Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell is blaming the district’s some-

times weak policy governing transfers. “Our daily average attendance is down and our student enrollment has decreased from previous years well over 100 kids. I think we need to begin

working to reduce the number of kids that leave our district,” said Mitchell. “There are all kinds of reasons and excuses, and I’m willing to hear them and in turn release them or not release them if the board choos-

es for me to do that.” No changes were made to the policy on Monday, even though two board members agreed there should be. Please see STUDENTS | 2A

Tishomingo County native Lynn Hester enjoys his fast-paced life as a 911 dispatcher for the Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department. Hester was an original 911 dispatcher when the Tishomingo County office opened in 1992. “In the beginning we only had one telephone and one computer, now we have too many to even count,” he said. “A lot has changed with the type of calls we receive, also. It seems like today the calls are more intense. I really have to stay focused because at times there are multiple calls coming in at one time.” Hester has been married to Alisha for five years and they live in Midway. “When I get home, I cut off all forms of technology,” he added. “We just enjoy simple living.”

The meal consists of an 8-ounce ribeye, baked beans, cole slaw and Texas Toast. “You can’t buy a steak and everything we have for that price anywhere else,” said Wood. Some of the projects which benefit from the sale include youth baseball teams, the Lighthouse Foundation and four college scholarships for high school seniors. The club also is a partner with Belk in the Belk’s Children Day which helps 10-12 underprivileged youngsters in Alcorn County during Christmas.

Board members Mary Coleman and Laura Studdard agreed with Mitchell and said student transfer requests should not be granted because its convenient for parents. “I think we need very serious consideration for everybody (requesting transfer), and not just rubber stamp everyone who comes across the desk,” said Studdard, the interim district 2 board member. “I’ve heard people say we (the board) think these kids are nothing more than dollar signs and that’s not true, but student enrollment is how we get our money, and figuring out how to keep kids in our district is very important.” Board president Randy Wilbanks and board members Lamar Walker and Russ Nash disagreed with making policy changes.

school,” said Nash. A frustrated Mitchell reiterated the decision to close the two elementary schools was a must. “I have said all along that we need to upgrade our facilities – I’ve said it a hundred times. What would we do now with this budget cut if we hadn’t decided to merge these schools ... we would be laying oﬀ teachers this very minute. We felt like we would save $800,000 by merging the schools, but now with the budget cut of $726,000 we’ll have to use that money in our regular budget,” Mitchell told the board. He added, “I think we need to take some steps to prevent those folks who don’t have a legitimate reason (to transfer) from being able to.” The transfer policy currently states that out of district transfers are granted if a parent is a

“I have always felt like a parent should decide what school they want their child to go to,” said Wilbanks. “We have been talking for years about the reasons why a student leaves the district. I want to find out what those reasons are and fix them so others down the road maybe won’t leave for the same reason.” He added, “there is already enough negative talk about the Alcorn School District. If we start telling parents ‘no, they can’t send their child elsewhere,’ it’s only going to get worse.” Walker and Nash said since parents weren’t given a choice when the board voted to close Rienzi and Glen schools, their choice to send their children to another school district shouldn’t be taken away as well. “I’m not going to tell them (parents) where their kids have to go to

Tishomingo Co. Girl Scout organizes installation of swing TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A Tishomingo County girl scout is helping those confined to a wheelchair become possible to enjoy a playground swing. Tishomingo County High School senior Brandi Smith organized a non-profit organization, “From Wheels to Thrills” to help earn her Girl Scout Gold Award. Smith helped make it possible for wheelchairaccessible swings to be installed on playgrounds throughout Tishomingo County. Smith held fundraisers and asked local businesses to donate to the cause. AAA State of Play specializes in handicapaccessible playground equipment and was the source for the swings, which cost more than $2,000 to purchase and install. The first handicapaccessible swing was recently installed at Tishomingo County State Park. The purchase and install of the swing was made possible by Smith.

Hardeman Co. Man charged with murder in shooting HARDEMAN COUNTY, Tenn. — A man is charged with first-degree murder after a Sunday night shooting leaves a Bolivar man dead, according to WBBJ. Marco Dewayne Jenkins, 37, of Grand Junction turned himself in

Monday morning and is charged in the shooting death of Demetrius Hoyle, 36, of Bolivar, according to a release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. TBI agents and the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident that occurred around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, according to the release. A driver flagged down a Tennessee State Trooper at the intersection of Highway 57 and Tippah Street and said the passenger in his car, Hoyle, had been shot, according to the release. Hardeman County deputies and Grand Junction police officers also responded and found the victim to be deceased. An investigation led agents to identify Jenkins as being responsible for the shooting. Jenkins is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during commission of a dangerous felony, according to the release. He is being held in the Hardeman County Jail. Bond has not been set at this time.

Police discover how fugitive stayed free

Suspect arrested in deadly accident

TUPELO — Law enforcement explained Monday how a fugitive on the run for about nine months was able to avoid capture, according to reports. Victor Parker was found Saturday in woods around Auburn in Lee County. He was sought for a shooting that happened last year in the Lake Piomingo area. Parker is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon because he is accused of shooting someone who was getting his mail. Sheriff Jim Johnson said Parker avoided capture because of his survivalist skills. According to Johnson, Parker built a tent in the woods with a battery hookup for lights. He also had four other hideouts with secret walls and floors. Parker’s wife and two in laws are charged with helping Parker avoid capture.

DECATUR, Tenn. — Bradley County officials say they have arrested the suspect in a Meigs County crash that killed four people. Media outlets report that 34-year-old John Wesley Bennett is accused of driving a dump truck that lost its trailer on Highway 58 on Friday afternoon. The Tennessee Highway Patrol says the trailer then hit two cars, killing four people. Authorities in Bradley County confirm that Bennett has been arrested and is in the Bradley County jail. They haven’t commented on potential charges. The victims of the crash were identified as 38-year-old Andrew Blackford, 37-yearold Samantha Norris, 36-year-old Christopher Denton and 62-year-old Paula Stevens.

Tupelo Tupelo splash pad work on schedule TUPELO — Construction at a new splash pad at the city’s Theron Nichols Park has begun on time, according to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. If construction continues on pace, it should be open for use by the Fourth of July, said Tupelo Chief Operations Officer Don Lewis. Infrastructure needed to supply water to the site has been mostly installed, according to Lewis. That means the next step should be the construction of the actual pad itself. In March, the City Council selected CIG Contractors to handle the project. Counting construction costs as well as engineering and design fees, the splash pad could end up costing the city almost $580,000. That means the project will end costing more

Memphis Interim police head applying for position MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Officials say interim Memphis Police Director Michael Rallings is applying for the permanent position. According to The Commercial Appeal Mayor Jim Strickland said Monday that he asked Rallings to apply for the permanent job, and Rallings agreed. Strickland said Rallings’ application wouldn’t affect the national search for a new director. The city is paying the International Association of Chiefs of Police $30,000 to $40,000 to conduct the search, which Strickland said is still on track to conclude in July or August. Strickland said he is not calling off the search, but he asked Rallings to apply “as part of the process.” Rallings, who has been with the department since he joined the police academy in 1990, succeeded Toney Armstrong earlier this year.

Corinth, Miss.

Dry rot in Academia Jason Riley has now joined the long and distinguished list of people invited – and then disinvited — to give a talk on a college campus, in this case Virginia Tech. Mr. Riley is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal and, perhaps most relevantly, author of a very insightful book titled “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed.” In short, Jason Riley’s views on race are different from the Thomas views that prevail on most colSowell lege campuses. At one time, 50 Columnist years ago or earlier, exposing students to a different viewpoint was considered to be a valuable part of their education. But that was before academia – and the education system in general – became virtually a monopoly of the political left. Today one can literally go from kindergarten to becoming a graduate student seeking a Ph.D., without ever hearing a vision of the world that conflicts with the vision of the left. Conservative critics who object on grounds that the views of the left are wrong miss the point. Regardless of whose views become a monopoly, education suffers. John Stuart Mill understood this back in the middle of the 19th century. As a young Marxist in college during the 1950s heyday of the anti-Communist crusade led by Sen. Joseph McCarthy, I had more freedom to express my views in class, without fear of retaliation, than conservative students have on many campuses today. After being invited by conservative students to give talks at various colleges, Jason Riley has then been surprised at how little those conservative students have said during the question-and-answer periods after these talks. A well-known Harvard professor, for example, recently referred to Justice Clarence Thomas by remarking: “He’ll say he pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. I say I was in the right place at the right time.” It so happens that I first met Clarence Thomas back in 1978, when he was a young lawyer in Missouri. In all these years, I have never heard him say anything even resembling what has been blithely attributed to him by this Harvard professor. On the contrary, Justice Thomas has attributed his good fortune to his grandfather who raised him, especially in his autobiography, “My Grandfather’s Son.” When he was sworn in as a Justice of the Supreme Court, he brought the nuns who had taught him in school, down in Georgia, to the ceremony in Washington, at his own expense, to let them know that what they had done for him was appreciated, and had not been in vain. There is no reason why our Harvard professor has to agree with Justice Thomas’ judicial philosophy or his social views. But, as the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan once put it: “You’re entitled to your own opinions, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.” It was much the same story when a faculty member at the University of California at Santa Barbara referred to economist Walter Williams as someone “committed to the welfare of the top few.” It so happens that I have known Walter Williams since 1969. In all those years, I have never once known him to express the slightest concern for the welfare of rich people. But what I have seen repeatedly has been his expressing his concern for people who are poor, both in words and in deeds. As an economist, Professor Williams knows that high tax rates on investors chase investments – and American jobs – overseas, where American working people cannot get those jobs. But, whether the academic in Santa Barbara agrees or disagrees with that analysis, it is no good for him, or for his students, to dismiss opposing views by misrepresenting them. These are just a few samples of the intellectual and moral dry rot on the many campuses across the country where the groupthink of the left substitutes for education. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Ship has sailed on same-sex marriage STARKVILLE — Anyone who expects the public furor over Mississippi’s House Bill 1523 to subside or who believe that people on either side of the debate will soften their positions simply haven’t been paying attention. The formal name of HB 1523 is the “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act” and supporters claim it was written and adopted in great measure to protect the rights of people with a “sincerely held religious belief” or a “moral conviction” against samesex marriage – including circuit clerks charged with issuing marriage licenses – from punishment for denying services to same-sex couples. Opponents say HB 1523 codifies a path to abject discrimination in Mississippi against people engaging in what is clearly constitutionally protected activities under the cloak of religion – and that adoption of such laws at the state level have no impact whatsoever on the federal laws that are in conflict with them. There is also no small legal question about the how the state defines “sincerely held religious belief” and “moral conviction” in this context. And how does the new law contemplate

the rights of people outside the JudeoChristian faith to their “sincerely Sid Salter held reliColumnist gious belief” or “moral conviction” that may well run far afield of the vast majority of Mississippians? With all due respect to people of religious faith (“sincerely held” or otherwise) and the atheists and agnostics alike, the constitutional ship has sailed in the United States over the issue of same-sex marriage. From a purely legal standpoint, it’s no longer a question of whether you approve or disapprove or whether those activities and choices in any way oﬀend your religious beliefs (or the lack of them) or whether they match your political/ philosophical beliefs on the same topics. On the subject of samesex marriage, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision in the 2015 landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case declared that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry that is guaranteed by both the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

That decision made same-sex marriage legal in Mississippi – or at least impeded Mississippi from violating the federal constitutional right to samesex marriage by denying marriage licenses to samesex couples. About a week later, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood ordered circuit clerks in the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. A few days later, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ordered an end to enforcement of the state’s same-sex marriage ban. In that sequence of events, HB 1523 was hatched. “Mississippi’s laws prohibiting same-sex marriage are now oﬃcially declared unconstitutional and unenforceable by the federal court,” Attorney General Jim Hood said at that time. “This ruling makes clear that marriage licenses should be issued to samesex couples.” Again, from a purely constitutional standpoint, the same-sex marriage ship has sailed under federal law and federal law – we are told supersedes state law in this instance. Clearly, House Bill 1523 seeks to work around the federal Obergefell decision at the state level. Just as clearly, LGBT rights at the federal level are perhaps less well defined by

the Supreme Court than simple same-sex marriage rights – which explains the high level of discomfort generated nationally by HB 1523 and similar laws either passed or attempted in other states. But what is evident is the fact that federal judicial review looms large for Mississippi’s HB 1523. When the shouting and the protests wane, federal appellate judges will be charged with weighing the Obergefell decision and the Constitution against Mississippi’s new law. Are we then to believe that those appellate judges are going to rule that the choice of a public official over whether or not to obey federal law rests pretty much solely with whether or not that official agrees (from religious and moral standpoints) with the law? Forget public officials, what about the rest of us average, workaday citizens confronted with income tax laws, speed limits, and narcotic drug statutes? Do we really only have to obey the laws we agree with? News to me, gentle readers, news to me. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state.

It hasn’t, at least not yet, but two Cuban-Americans were serious presidential contenders this year. Yes, neither Marco Rubio nor Ted Cruz won the Republican nomination, instead suspending their campaigns the nights they lost the Florida and Indiana primaries, respectively. But they did become Donald Trump’s most serious competition. Rubio, born May 1971, and Cruz, born December 1970, are young for presidential contenders. Neither was eligible to vote for Ronald Reagan or George Bush in the 1980s. Rubio was a college senior and Cruz a first-year law student when Bill and Hillary Clinton entered the White House in January 1993. Neither was a national figure when Barack Obama was elected in 2008. Donald Trump was flirting with the idea of running for president in the 1990s, two decades ago. Just about no one eight years ago imagined that Rubio or Cruz would be serious candidates this year. Yet for those who follow politicians closely there

were signs. Rubio’s farewell speech to the Florida House, recounting how the son of an Michael i m m i g r a n t Barone b a r t e n d e r could rise in Columnist America, got rave reviews on conservative websites. Cruz, though unable to leverage his Bush campaign experience to a White House job, was cultivating conservative legal and political insiders. I remember him asking me whether he should run for attorney general of Texas if Abbott ran for governor in 2012. (I said it was up to him; the eventuality did not arise.) These were signs that both men had serious political ambitions, but so do many young men and women. Rubio’s initial opponent for the Senate in 2010 was the incumbent Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist. When others backed out of the race, Rubio stayed in and got endorsements from county Republican organizations dismayed by Crist’s liberal policies and (literal) embrace of Barack Obama on a 2009 Florida visit. Crist withdrew from the Republican race and ran

as an Independent. That meant that Rubio won easily in the Republican primary and in a three-way general election. In the 2012 Texas openseat Senate contest, Cruz challenged the wealthy lieutenant governor of Texas, David Dewhurst, whom most officeholders, including Gov. Rick Perry, supported. Cruz ran a strong second in the initial primary, won the runoff and coasted to a party-line victory in November. As young senators from the third- and second-largest states, Rubio and Cruz could have settled in for long legislative careers. Instead both set their sights higher, and suffered setbacks. Rubio’s co-sponsorship of the Gang of Eights immigration bill was rejected by most Republicans and hurt him in 2016. Cruz’s call to repeal Obamacare by threatening government shutdown antagonized Republican leaders and Senate colleagues. Nevertheless, their skill sets served them well in the presidential race. Rubio’s combination of shoutouts to cultural conservatives and emollient attitude toward those who disagree helped him win votes from the religious right and upscale suburbanites. Cruz’s stentorian style and claims

of adherence to conservative principles gave him strong support from “very conservative” voters. In diﬀerent ways, both shined in debate, with only a few lapses. Both ran wellorganized campaigns, with Rubio rounding up endorsements and Cruz building the race’s most disciplined and rigorous organization. Both also attracted attacks, and not only from Donald Trump. Rubio was the target of attack ads from Jeb Bush’s super PAC and a debate ambush by the flailing Chris Christie. The latter allowed John Kasich to finish second in New Hampshire with only 16 percent of the vote and to stay in the race siphoning oﬀ upscale voters from Rubio. Now, defeated by Donald Trump, both their careers seem in tatters. Rubio is leaving the Senate and Cruz has close to 99 enemies there. The lesson: Ambition and talent can take a politician a long way up – and down.

Another challenge filed to gay marriage law a gay couple and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit challenging the new religious-objections bill set to become law July 1. Roberta Kaplan of New York, lead attorney in the Campaign for Southern Equality case, is asking a judge to order Mississippi clerks to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples without delay. She also seeks to compel the state to release names of clerks who recuse themselves from issuing such licenses, and she wrote in the court filing that

JACKSON — Another group is challenging a Mississippi law that will let workers cite their own religious objections to same-sex marriage to deny services to people. Campaign for Southern Equality and two lesbian couples filed papers Tuesday seeking to reopen their 2014 federal lawsuit that challenged Mississippi’s definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman. Their filing came a day after

clerks who refuse marriage licenses to same-sex couples should refuse them to straight couples, too. Mississippi House Bill 1523 was one of several measures filed by state lawmakers across the country this year in reaction to last summer’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that eﬀectively legalized same-sex marriage. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant signed the Mississippi bill in April, saying it protects people’s First Amendment right of free expression of religion. The bill says government

Boaters urged to follow laws BY KIMBERLY SHELTON

In Mississippi, any person born after June 30, 1980, must complete a Boating Safety Course to operate a boat. Persons under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a person 21 or older on board in order to operate a boat.

kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

As boaters prepare for fun in the sun, the Mississippi Departments of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency are stressing safety on and near the water in advance of Memorial Day weekend. “We want everyone to enjoy time with family and friends on our lakes, rivers and other waterways but we also want them to take proper precautions while doing so,” said North Region Boating Supervisor Lt. Ricky Barry of the Law Enforcement Bureau. Those operating boats and other watercraft should be aware of the following regulations: ■ Each person on board is required to have a wearable Coast Guard approved personal flotation device such as a life jacket both in Mississippi and Tennessee. Passengers age 12 and under are required to have one on at all times. ■ Red and green running lights on the front and all around white lights on the back of boats should be visible at night. ■ In Mississippi, any person born after June 30, 1980, must complete a Boating Safety Course to operate a boat. Persons under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a person 21 or older on board in order to operate a boat. For those wishing to learn more about Mississippi Boating Basics and the legal and safe practices for boat operators, a six hour instructor taught course is available for groups. The Mississippi Boating Basics homestudy course is also available for individuals who are unable to attend an instructor taught course. Most insurance companies honor these courses by oﬀering reductions in insurance premiums upon completion. Courses are oﬀered at least twice a year in every county. For more information and for test dates visit www.MDWFP.com. In Tennessee, any resident born after Jan. 1, 1989 must have in their possession a TWRA-issued card showing proof

of successful completion of the TWRA administered boating safety exam if operating alone. Persons under 12 years old may not operate a powered boat of more than 8.5 horsepower unless accompanied by an adult who can take immediate control of the vessel. If the accompanying adult (18 yrs. or older) is born after Jan. 1, 1989, then he/ she must have the boating safety certification card on board. ■ Boats with enclosed gas tanks are required to have a fire extinguisher on board. ■ All boating accidents must be reported to the proper authorities as soon as possible. ■ Boaters pulling others on skis or inter-tubes are required to have a lookout passenger age 10 or over in the state of Mississippi. In the state of Tennessee, boaters are only required to have a functional rear view mirror to keep watch. ■ Boat registration is required for all boats operating on the water. As a boating supervisor/investigator for 12 counties in the Northeast corner of Mississippi, Barry is also responsible for investigating accidents. “Alcohol is a big contributing factor in many boating accidents,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that the blood alcohol limit is .08, the same as on the road and if caught, they will get a BUI for (Boating Under the Influence).” “Another contributing factor in boating accidents is distraction,” he continued. “Since January of this year, we have had five serious boating accidents. Thankfully, none resulted in fatalities, but most could have been prevented if the operators had been more mindful.” The boating supervisor

recalls one incident which could have been tragic if not for the discovery of an oﬃcer. “The group was checked before leaving the docks and it was discovered that there were no enough life jackets for those on board,” said Barry. “This was luckily determined and corrected before they took to the water because the boat ended up capsizing a while later.” “It’s a nice time of year and everyone is in such a hurry to get in the water and try out their new boats or equipment that they tend to overlook the small things,” he added. “It is always wise to have a good mechanic look things over before heading out into the water.” Boaters may also be charged with reckless operation which covers a wide array of incidents. Those operating boats with large wakes are liable for any damage their waves create on other boats. The potential for electric shock drowning is also something to beware of, according to Barry. “In places such as boat houses and boat docks, alternating current leakage has been known to electrocute or incapacitate swimmers in fresh water,” he said. “When there is a bad ground that electricity will find somewhere to go and may times leaks out into the water where kids or others may be swimming.” “ESD generally locks the body up and is usually non-fatal but there have been cases where swimmers have perished as a result if it,” he added. “It is extremely hard to detect since the cause of death usually comes back as drowning.” (Additional guidelines and information may be found at www.mdwfp.com or www.tn.gov/ twra.com)

clerks could recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to gay or lesbian couples, and judges could recuse themselves from performing same-sex weddings. Although it says such oﬃcials must find someone else to issue the license or perform the wedding, legislators did not say what happens when every employee in a clerk’s oﬃce or every judge in a county chooses not to provide the services for samesex couples. Kaplan wrote in the filing Tuesday that the bill “is abso-

lutely silent as to how the right of all Mississippians who seek to legally marry, including gay men and lesbians, will be protected under this new ‘recusal’ system.” Officials who recuse themselves from issuing licenses or performing marriages for same-sex couples must file a form with the state registrar of vital statistics. Kaplan said the Office of Vital Records sent her a letter May 4 saying it “is under no obligation” to disclose information about officials who file recusal forms.

Man kicks addiction to earn degree OXFORD — In 2008, Ricky Clayton was in his early 50s, lost in the throes of a life-threatening painkiller addiction and homeless in Memphis. Substance abuse had been with him like a shadow for more than 30 years. In 2005, his brother died alone from a heroin overdose in a Burger King bathroom. Clayton, who was himself hopelessly addicted to dilaudid, a powerful opioid prescription painkiller, also took methadone or heroin, both readily available opioids that helped him avoid the painful symptoms of drug withdrawal when he didn’t have dilaudid. “I was pretty much

hopeless,” Clayton said. “I had tried to quit the pain pills over and over and I couldn’t stay clean, so I just went and got on methadone, which is a terrible addiction too, but it keeps you from being sick. You can take that and it lasts all day.” Though the odds were stacked against him, Clayton’s story has a happy ending. On Saturday, Clayton, 60, now a clean and sober grandfather, will receive his bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Mississippi. A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published in January found the yearly rate of U.S. opioid deaths has tripled since 2000.

In 2014, drug overdoses accounted for one-anda-half times more deaths than from car crashes. More than half a million people in the United States have died from overdoses since 2000, with opioid pain relievers and heroin being the main drugs associated with those deaths. All this makes Clayton’s achievement a monumental one. The pride he feels in this milestone is evident when it’s mentioned. “It’s a dream I had when I was young, and I never thought I was going to be able to attain it because of my addiction, but if you stay clean, it goes to show you anything is possible,” Clayton said.

Surviving tornado season doesn’t have to be luck BY KELLY P. KISSEL Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Storms swept through the nation’s midsection Monday, spawning numerous tornadoes. While tornadoes can form any time weather conditions are right, the area from Texas to Nebraska typically sees tornadoes between April and June. Here are some items from the nation’s tornado history and some tips on how to stay safe:

Deadly days Advances in science and communications have lengthened warning times over the years, but even then the wrong storm at the wrong place can kill dozens or even hundreds. The nation’s worst tornado outbreak was only five years ago, on April 27-28, 2011, when 175 tornadoes killed 316 in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia. That series of storms surpassed those of April 3-4, 1974, when 127 tornadoes killed 310, mostly in the Ohio Valley. The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925, killed 695 people in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, and since then the highest death toll from a single storm is 158 at Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011.

like the term Tornado Alley because they prefer to make the point that storms can form anywhere. Tornadoes have been reported in every state, including Alaska. Storm Prediction Center data compiled in 2010 showed that, in the previous 30 years, Texas had the most storms, followed by Kansas, Florida and Oklahoma. (Alaska had three.) Texas had the greatest number of killer tornadoes, too, followed by Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. Among cities, more have occurred in Oklahoma City than anywhere else — more than 100 since 1893.

Big and strong A twister 2.6 miles wide struck near El Reno, Oklahoma, on May 31, 2013, with winds measured at 290 mph about 500 feet above the ground. It was a bit larger than a tornado that hit Hallam, Nebraska, on May 22, 2004. A May 3, 1999, storm that later killed 36 people at Moore, Oklahoma, had winds of about 302 mph at Bridge Creek, Oklahoma. The wind speeds in these storms were measured using Doppler radar rather than traditional anemometers, which can be swept away when directly hit by a storm.

Who’s most at risk?

How to be safe?

The nation’s midsection and the Southeast see the most storms, but some forecasters don’t

It’s all about having a plan, and start planning early if possible. To begin, buy a weath-

er radio, which carries alerts from your local National Weather Service oﬃce (and many models can be programmed to sound an alert tone only if your area is threatened.) You should also clear a path to your basement or a closet or interior room on the lowest floor of your home. The golden rule: Put as many walls between you and the outside. On the day of the storm, tune in to local broadcasters or your local NWS oﬃce and follow them and FEMA on social media if you will check it often enough. Avoid media that won’t automatically cut in with warnings for your area. A watch means conditions are good for storms to develop. The National Weather Service says it means just that: Watch. If you are home when a warning is issued, go to your safe place. You have been warned. Remember — as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Don’t go outside to confirm the storm is in your area. Spotters and forecasters have already done that. If you are in car when a warning is issued, flee if it is safe to do so, but be aware thousands of others may have the same idea. If you are unable to get away, get out of your vehicle and into the lowest place possible (but watch for areas prone to flash flooding). Do not go under a bridge, where winds can actually be higher because of a change in air pressure where it passes beneath.

Counselor wins state SBA honor STARKVILLE — Mike Pornovets knows a thing or two about getting the job done right. The U.S. Navy veteran who served three tours in Afghanistan and another in Iraq returned home to Gulfport five years ago to start his now thriving retail business Everything Kayak. Also a counselor for Mississippi State’s Veterans Business Outreach Center, Pornovets recently has been honored by the Small Business Administration as Mississippi’s 2016 Small Business Person of the Year. “The way I see it, this award isn’t just for me,” he said. “I’m accepting it on behalf of all the small business owners who are busting their humps doing the grind every day to be successful.” Pornovets started working last August as a part-time counselor with MSU’s VBOC—which advises military veterans

and spouses who are aspiring entrepreneurs on how to start and maintain their businesses. One of only 15 VBOC’s in the nation, MSU’s program serves Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee. The center is a partnership between MSU’s College of Business and the G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans. While the main VBOC facility and its two staff members are located in MSU’s Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park, Pornovets operates from its satellite office in Biloxi and counsels program clients in the southern half of the center’s service area. The VBOC completed its first operating year on April 30 and already offers services to 140 clients, said Rodney Pearson, MSU professor of management and information systems, director

for student success and VBOC program manager. Pearson added that Pornovets’ background, which is enhanced by his winning the SBA award, helps make the VBOC more viable. “It surely gives us a lot more credibility,” said Pearson, who helped write the application for the $825,000 SBA grant that brought the VBOC to MSU. “He is a veteran who has successfully transitioned from the military to the business world.” Pornovets started kayaking when he was 11 years old and saw a market for his interest in Biloxi after his time in the Navy. He said he loves paying his experience forward to other veterans through the VBOC, whether it’s helping entrepreneurs identify funding sources or understand how to properly track their cash flow. “That’s my favorite part of this job,” he said.

Libyan militant charged in the Benghazi attacks that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, federal oﬃcials announced Tuesday. The department revealed its decision in a brief court filing. In a separate statement, spokeswoman Emily Pierce said Attorney General Loretta Lynch made the decision after consult-

ing with prosecutors. Khattala’s attorneys had been imploring the Justice Department to remove the death penalty as a possibility should he ultimately be convicted of any capital crimes in a trial. With the death penalty now oﬀ the table, he would face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Newborn scorched by hospital heater NASHVILLE, Tenn. â€” A Middle Tennessee family says their newborn daughter suffered serious burns after a piece of equipment malfunctioned at a Nashville hospital. Sean Boyd, the father of Aminah Boyd, told WSMV-TV last week that his daughter was burned by a screw that fell out of a heat lamp and onto her neck and chest, scorching her skin only a few hours after she was born. Sean Boyd says he plans to file a lawsuit against Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital, where the incident occurred. The hospital apologized for the incident in a statement and said a specialist has been contacted to examine the baby for treatment. The hospital says the family will not be charged for any necessary treatment related to the accident. It is unclear how serious the burns are. Â

Siamese cat named worldâ€™s oldest living MANSFIELD, Texas â€” A Siamese cat born during President Ronald Reaganâ€™s administration has been named by Guinness World Records as the worldâ€™s oldest living cat. Guinness says Scooter celebrated his 30th birthday on March 26. He lives in Mansfield, Texas. Owner Gail Floyd attributes Scooterâ€™s longevity to staying active. She tells Guinness he keeps busy by traveling and has visited 45 of the 50 states. Some of his favorite activities include getting blow-dried after baths and snacking on chicken every other day. Scooter isnâ€™t Guinnessâ€™ oldest cat of all time, though. That mark belongs to a fellow Texas cat, which lived to be 38. Â

Income a factor in keeping employer CHICAGO â€” A new poll says more than 40 percent of Americaâ€™s baby boomers stayed with their employer for more than 20 years, a reflection of the growing

national trend toward job mobility. The Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll of 1,000 Americans 50 and older also shows that of those with at least two decades of service with a single employer, 18 percent have stayed at least 30 years. Pensions appeared to play a major role in whether to change employers. Â

Being polite to cop brings manâ€™s arrest FRAMINGHAM, Mass. â€” Politely holding a door open for a police officer has landed a Massachusetts man in jail. Authorities say Kayvon Mavaddat was at the Natick Mall on Friday when he held the door for the leaving officer. That officer thought Mavaddat looked familiar, and went to check his cruiserâ€™s computer. The officer found there were three warrants out for his arrest â€” for heroin possession, shoplifting and driving with a suspended license. The officer returned to the mall and arrested Mavaddat. The MetroWest Daily News reports the 28-year-old Mavaddat was held without bail at his arraignment Monday when his probation officer told the judge he routinely skips court dates, court-ordered drug tests and fails to pay probation fees. Â

Cost of long-term care still climbing Long-term care grew more expensive again this year, with the cost of the priciest option, a private nursing home room, edging closer to $100,000 annually, according to a survey from Genworth Financial. Americans also are paying more for other care options like home health aides and assisted living communities, while adult day care costs fell slightly compared to 2015, Genworth reported in a study released Tuesday. Private nursing home rooms now come with a median annual bill of $92,378, an increase of 1.2 percent from last year and nearly 19 percent since 2011. Thatâ€™s roughly twice the

rate of overall inflation and breaks down to a monthly bill of $7,698. Genworth Financial Inc. sells long-term care coverage and didnâ€™t address that cost in its study, which was based on information from 15,000 long-term care providers. Coverage costs also are rising, and many people donâ€™t understand these expenses until they face them, said Joe Caldwell of the National Council on Aging, which is not connected with the study. â€œItâ€™s really becoming more and more difficult for the average family ... to even purchase longterm care insurance,â€? said Caldwell, the nonprofitâ€™s director of long-term services and support policy.

LOUIS â€” Lezley McSpadden was taking a cigarette break from her grocery store job when a friend called to say someone had been shot in the street near Canfield Green Apartments in Ferguson. Within minutes, her cellphone rang again. It was a family member declaring the victim was McSpaddenâ€™s 18-yearold son, Michael Brown. The shooter was a police officer. The next moments that sultry August day grew more and more intense as McSpaddenâ€™s co-worker drove her to the scene in the St. Louis suburb where she quickly spotted clothing that matched her sonâ€™s â€“ a yellow sock on a leg the sheet hadnâ€™t covered and a red St. Louis Cardinals cap on the ground. McSpadden recounts what happened that fateful day two summers ago in her autobiography, â€œTell the Truth & Shame the Devil,â€? set to be released this week and co-written by Lyah Beth LeFlore. The book chronicles McSpaddenâ€™s life growing up in tough St. Louis neighborhoods, her experiences raising Brown, the devastation his shooting brought, and her push to honor his memory. Brownâ€™s death became a catalyst in the national Black Lives Matter movement.

Man faces charges for cocaine in RV GULFPORT â€” A federal grand jury has indicted a man after authorities allegedly found about 11 kilos of cocaine in his RV. The Sun Herald reports 69-year-old Victor John Wendell Jr. will be arraigned Thursday on a three-count indictment in U.S. District Court. An indictment filed May 3 charged Wendell with conspiracy, possession with intent to distribute cocaine and interstate travel in aid of drug racketeering enterprises. Wendell was arrested April 12 when a Harrison County deputy pulled him over on a traffic violation in Gulfport. Deputies reportedly found fresh handprints and footprints on the RV and its roof. In an affidavit, deputies say they found the cocaine hidden in the RV parkâ€™s air conditioning system. Wendell is held with no bond. Â

Rehabilitated eagle falters before flying PASS CHRISTIAN â€” It was a dramatic release Monday afternoon for an American bald eagle which was returned to the wild, along the banks of the Wolf River. The adult bird was successfully treated by Wild at Heart Rescue for a lung infection. But there were a few tense moments during its flight to freedom. â€œWhereâ€™s my gloves, are they in here?â€? asked Doug Pojeky, as he prepared to release the adult, male eagle from its cage. With an anxious crowd waiting, the eagle nicknamed â€œDoobsâ€? is ready for release. The bird has spent the past few weeks in rehab for a lung infection. â€œA fungal infection that all birds of prey can have. Under stressful conditions, it overtakes their body and makes them extremely weak,â€? explained Missy Dubuisson, the Director of Wild at Heart. Pojeky, walked the eagle past the line of cameras and cellphones. And with everything set, he smoothly raised the bird to flight. And that initial flight was exceed-

ingly smooth, for the first few seconds. Â

School districts get computer programs GULFPORT â€” Six school districts in South Mississippi have been selected to participate in a state-sponsored computer science pilot program. The Mississippi Department of Education announced Hancock, Harrison, George, Pass Christian, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula school districts will begin training teachers for the program this summer. The program will be administered at K-5 schools and high schools in those districts beginning next year. The Sun Herald reports the pilot program is designed to expand the knowledge base of students and open the doors to career opportunities. Â

12 airports to get grants for upgrades JACKSON â€” Twelve Mississippi airports will benefit from more than $4.15 million in grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation to help with facility upgrades. U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, in a news release Monday, said the projects are in addition to 19 grants awarded in March for other projects. â€œThese grants make important investments in the safety and efficiency of Mississippi airports,â€? Cochran said. The grants will support projects at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, for runway rehabilitation; construction of a terminal building at Philadelphia Municipal Airport;

apron, runway and taxiway rehabilitation and an update of the airport master plan study at McCharen Field Airport in West Point; and airport drainage improvements and installation of perimeter fencing at Poplarville-Pearl River County Airport. Other projects include work at airports in Louisville, Columbus, Lexington, Starkville, Winona and Montgomery County, Copiah County, NatchezAdams County and the University-Oxford Airport. Â

MSU warns against stadium trespassing JACKSON â€” Mississippi State University officials Monday warned people not to trespass in the schoolâ€™s football stadium after a 21-yearold student fell through the roof of a video scoreboard Saturday and died. â€œItâ€™s the intent of the university, in the future, to prosecute any trespassers to the fullest extent of state law, and that students will be subject to the very harshest administrative sanctions,â€? university spokesman Sid Salter said at a news conference on the Starkville campus. Salter said that Andrew Scott Demboski fell through the roof of the towering scoreboard at the south end of MSUâ€™s Davis Wade Stadium around 1:30 a.m. Saturday after he and two fellow students entered the stadium by climbing over a locked fence. Rescuers struggled to extract the Ocean Springs student from where he fell inside the scoreboard, because it was too high for the ladder on a Starkville fire truck.

Online sales surge When you think of e-commerce, you’re likely to think of Amazon. A Forrester report says the Seattle e-commerce powerhouse accounted for 60 percent of the U.S. growth in e-commerce last year. Yet there’s hope for rivals. Forrester predicts U.S. online sales will exceed a half-trillion dollars by 2020. That’s a 42 percent increase from this year. Even smaller companies are able to challenge brick-and-mortar retailers because it’s not that expensive to set up a website, especially with the help of e-commerce systems such as Shopify and Magento.
