... When daytime turns into darkess BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Don’t look now, but a solar eclipse is coming. The path of totality will traverse the U.S. from west to east, passing through Tennessee. It will be nearly as dark as night in Nashville, the largest city in the path, at 1:27 p.m. on Aug. 21, a Monday. Although the “Great American Eclipse,” as some are calling it, will not be as dramatic

in northeast Mississippi, it will still be a prime viewing opportunity. “It will probably be similar to a cloud going in front of the sun,” said George Nock, astronomy instructor at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Excitement is growing among astronomy fans. “It’s an event that everyone can take part in viewing that’s in the path,” said Nock. “School

children will be able to view it and learn about what causes the eclipse. Anything that draws attention to the sciences is always exciting to us.” The opportunity to view an eclipse is fairly rare. “The last total solar eclipse that went through the continental U.S. was 38 years ago in 1979,” said Nock. “The next one will be in seven years in 2024.”

Community invited to join an adventure BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

FARMINGTON — A local church is inviting interested community members to join them on an adventure. Farmington Baptist Church has arranged a tour bus to leave on Friday, June 23, to go for a one-night stay to experience the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Jarrod Cox, pastor of Farmington Baptist Church, said the trip is a great time for people to get to spend time with one another. “We really try to encourage our church family and community members to interact and enjoy some fellowship and some time away,” said Cox. For those not familiar with the “Ark Encounter,” it “fea-

tures a full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. Spanning 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, this modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old,” according to the website. The state-of-the-art Creation Museum allows visitors to venture through biblical history, stunning exhibits, botanical gardens, planetarium, petting zoo, zip line adventure course and more. This 75,000-squarefoot facility has welcomed over 2.5 million guests since opening in Petersburg, Ky. Originally, the church trip had been planned with a full tour bus load, but due to unforeseen circumstances, a few families had to drop out, which left an

Camel attacks woman Associated Press

BILOXI — A Florida woman claims a camel at the last home of Confederate president Jeﬀerson Davis attacked her at the Mississippi tourist attraction in 2015. She’s suing the United Sons of Confederate Veterans Inc., identified as the operator of Beauvoir

plantation in Biloxi. The Sun Herald reported Sylvia June Abbott says Sir Camelot injured her mentally and physically. Attorney Charles M. Thomas says Abbott and her husband were walking to a cemetery behind Beauvoir when the camel stampeded her and bit her, leaving her with

a fractured wrist and vertebrae. Abbott’s suit says Beauvoir’s operators should have known the camel had “behaved dangerously” in the past, though it didn’t specify any prior incidents. Beauvoir’s executive director, Tom Payne, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Man gets 49 years in hate crime homicide Associated Press

GULFPORT — A Mississippi man received a 49-year prison sentence Monday for the first-ever conviction on federal hate crime charges arising from the killing of a transgender woman. In a case watched by the LGBT community nationwide, U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. sentenced Joshua Vallum in the 2015 killing of 17-yearold Mercedes Williamson. It was the first case prosecuted under the federal Hate Crimes Prevention Act involving a victim targeted because of gender identity. Prosecutors said Vallum shocked 17-year-old Mercedes Williamson with a stun gun, stabbed her and beat her to death in 2015 to keep fellow Latin Kings gang members from discovering the two were having sex. Gang rules barred homosexual activity and declared it punishable by death. Guirola could have sentenced Vallum to life in prison, but heeded a lesser sentence suggested in a plea agreement between defense attorneys and prosecutors, citing Vallum’s neglected childhood and other issues. Both the judge and defense lawyers said Vallum’s history of abuse as a child had to be considered.

This NASA map shows the narrow path of totality for the solar eclipse on Aug. 21.

ECLIPSE CONTINUED FROM 1

The last total solar eclipse to go coast to coast, as this one will, occurred in 1918. According to Nashville’s tourism oﬃce, the city has not been in the path of totality since 1478. It is a short-duration event

— one minute and 55 seconds in which the moon will completely block the sun — although the sun will be at least partially obscured in Nashville from 11:58 a.m. until 2:54 p.m. The path of totality is around 60 miles wide. Nashville expects to be packed for the eclipse.

Some of the attractions hosting events are the Adventure Science Center, which will have a three-day festival; First Tennessee Park, where baseball fans can view the eclipse and watch The Nashville Sounds play the Iowa Cubs; the Nashville Zoo, where visitors can

observe the animals’ reaction to the eclipse; and the Italian Lights Festival at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Nine Tennessee state parks in the path of totality are also hosting events, such as a solar eclipse boat cruise at Edgar Evins State Park. With all this talk about the sun comes the friendly reminder not to look at it with the naked eye to avoid the risk of permanent damage. Eclipse glasses with filters for safe viewing can be found online.

Nock also suggests using the old pinhole camera method or dialing up one of the many feeds that will be available on the internet. He anticipates the college will use a filter with its telescope for viewing by students. For those who want a shorter drive to the path of totality, here’s a date to save — Aug. 12, 2045. A total solar eclipse on that day will sweep across north Mississippi. (For more on Nashville eclipse activities: visitmusiccity.com/eclipse)

Lee County Nearly 130 local soldiers are being called for duty LEE COUNTY — The Mississippi National Guard says roughly 130 soldiers with a Tupelo-based unit are being called for duty in Kosovo. They are with the 1st Battalion, 185th Aviation Regiment. The soldiers left for training on Sunday at Fort Hood, Texas, before heading overseas to help NATO keep peace in the Balkans. Approximately 60 of them are based in Tupelo while the rest are with Jackson-based companies. The National Guard says the soldiers will spend 10 months supporting Operation Joint Guardian. Their mission will be to provide aviation support using Black Hawk helicopters.

Tupelo Woman’s cash stolen at Walmart checkout TUPELO — A woman on Facebook says someone stole her billfold while she was at a cash register at a Walmart in Tupelo, and police appear to verify her story. WTVA reported Peggy Pierce posted Friday that she was getting money out of her billfold at the store on North Gloster Street when someone grabbed it and ran out of the store. Pierce wrote that the thief left the store and people started chasing him before the thief threw down her billfold. She added that the money was gone but her cards were still there. Captain Chuck McDougal says police responded to a call at the store about a theft and an officer later spotted someone on Barnes Crossing Road who fit the description of the suspected thief. The suspect took off on foot, but the officer caught him and

arrested him. McDougal did not release the name of the suspect, adding that specific charges will be determined.

Corinth, Miss.

Drivers keep demanding more specialty car tags JACKSON — Expensive license plates, like heat and humidity, are just a fact of life in Mississippi. Complaining about them is a unifying feature of the state’s culture. License plates can cost hunEmily dreds of dollars annually for Wagster city, county and school taxes. Pettus The newer the vehicle and the higher the local taxes, the Capitol Dome harder a driver’s wallet is hit. Still, tens of thousands of people willingly shell out a few extra bucks a year for a specialty car tag to express something about their personalities. Drivers can show oﬀ logos for public and private universities in the state, and for a few schools from other places. They can support wildlife or NASCAR or even the New Orleans Saints. They can proclaim their love of the blues or Elvis Presley, or their support for bicycling, kickboxing or youth soccer. The state has a long list of specialty tags that grows longer each legislative session as new groups request permission for a state-sanctioned design. University tags cost an extra $51 a year, and many other specialty tags cost $31, with the bulk of the money going to the cause displayed on the license plate. For many tags, a portion of the fee goes to highway maintenance and some goes to a medical fund for burn victims. The NASCAR tags come in diﬀerent designs and cost $36. They help pay for upkeep of the Capitol, the Old Capitol Museum, the Governor’s Mansion and the War Memorial Building in downtown Jackson. The Saints tag, which costs $50, helps pay for Infinity Science Center at the NASA site in Hancock County. The website for the state Department of Revenue has a detailed list of how the money from specialty tags is distributed. The site also has a list showing the top sellers. In May 2016, there were 53,816 university tags; 22,409 wildlife tags; 9,565 with the Mississippi Nurses Foundation logo; 8,829 with NASCAR designs; and 6,586 with the slogan “Choose Life.” The “Choose Life” tags were sought 15 years ago by abortion opponents, and part of the money from the tag is supposed to go to centers that provide information to women facing unplanned pregnancies. This year’s car tag legislation reflects a diversity of interests in Mississippi. New license plate designs are authorized starting July 1. One new tag will raise money for a foundation to cure sickle cell anemia, a blood disease that can delay growth and cause organ damage and vision problems. Another new tag is really a variation on an old one. For years, Sons of Confederate Veterans has had a specialty tag for cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles in Mississippi. This year, legislators agreed that the group could have a specialty tag for motorcycles. Fans of the Memphis Grizzlies NBA team are getting a tag, as are people who want to display their loyalty to any of Mississippi’s 15 community or junior colleges. Joining several other public private or parochial schools authorized for their own license plates are the Booneville, Natchez-Adams and Pass Christian school districts and Saint Patrick Catholic School in Harrison County. The cost: $30. The Mississippi Nurses Foundation tag fee is increasing from $31 to $50, with the extra money going to the foundation itself. Getting authorization for a specialty tag design is one step. In most cases, at least 200 or 300 people must commit to buying a design before the state will produce and sell it. Over the years, some tags have been authorized but never produced because of low demand. Emily Wagster Pettus has covered Mississippi government and politics since 1994.

Prayer for today My Father, may this be a day of usefulness. Make me sure of myself, that I may not spend my days in questioning, but accept with gratefulness thy love and tender care. Make me worthy to be called thy child. Amen.

A verse to share “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. —Joel 2:28-29

Access to information hasn’t lessened anger OXFORD — Don’t trust the media? Most people (according to media reports) don’t. And that’s fine because we all live in a new day. Anyone with internet access can go on endless fact-finding missions all by themselves. News is bountiful. Wonder how much campaign money Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann has on hand? It’s on the Mississippi Secretary of State website, under the elections tab. And not just his donations and expenses are online, so are those for hundreds of other state and county oﬃce-seekers. Who gave how much to any candidacy? A few clicks lead to the answer. Remember Luke Woodham? Almost 19 years ago when he was only 16, he was charged with killing his mother, then going to Pearl High School and killing two more people. It was one of the first school shootings of the modern era. Woodham was sentenced to three life terms. How’s he doing? The Mississippi Department of Corrections “inmate lookup” website shows he’s grown — 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds — and has been in Unit 29 since being relocated there in 2014. The site includes a photo and, when applicable, a tentative release date. (Woodham has no tentative release date.)

What are the population trends in your community? The federal site census.gov Charlie has details Mitchell that, if printed, would fill Columnist several libraries. For instance, 85.5 percent of the adults in Meridian completed high school and 20 percent have college degrees. Over in Greenville, the figures are slightly higher for college degrees and sharply lower for high school diplomas. The mother of all Mississippi state and county financial treasure troves is seethespending.org. Several years ago, the Jackson Free Press reported on the eﬀorts of former House Speaker Billy McCoy, DRienzi, to pass legislation that might impinge on the practice of state leaders allocating millions of advertising dollars to political allies in the media. McCoy’s eﬀorts fell flat. Rewarding friends with public dollars raises eyebrows, or should. The figures lag a couple of years, but seethespending shows who gets how much of a very large advertising pie. The same site, operated by the Mississippi Center for Public Policy, is betatesting display of trends in

education. Months could be spent digesting reams of facts. For 20 years, the average ACT score in the Vicksburg Warren School district has been between 18 and 19. Just down U.S. 61 in Claiborne County, the average has been lower, about 3 points. Natchez students have tracked in the middle. It may mean something. It may mean nothing. Either way, citizens and oﬃcials are no longer forced to rely on media to interpret. The full text of every piece of legislation considered during the 2017 term (and previous terms) is on the Legislature’s website, along with information on how each fared. The full text of every Supreme Court decision is also available 24/7. The Open Secrets site, operated by the Center for Responsive Politics, shows that U.S. Rep. Bennie C. Thompson, D-Miss., is the top recipient of campaign donations from OSI Systems, which mostly donates to Republicans. OSI makes security screening equipment. Thompson is ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee. One of the Republicans in the U.S. House from Mississippi, Gregg Harper, serves on Energy and Commerce. His top donors are utilities and banks. The public’s biggest — and well-justified — complaint about the mass media is

the prevalence of bias. The recently fired Bill O’Reilly was the master of spin. Indeed, his biggest spin was spinning that he didn’t spin while he was spinning. In 2017, given the volume of information just a click away, some might be so bold (me) as to think journalists should be thanked for wading in and trying to pull out relevant facts, even if their bias shows. That’s not going to happen, given that we have been declared “enemies of the American people.” Here’s the nut, though. Like no time in history, people have direct access to facts. Yes, there’s a lot of nonsense in cyberspace, but in the history of humanity no generation has ever had anywhere near the level of actual truths available instantaneously. It would seem that if we all have the same information, it would be more likely that we could find common ground – spend time on solutions. Instead, we splinter into smaller and smaller factions and yell facts and counterfacts at each other. In a way, the lie has been put to the notion that the more people know, or at least have available, the better decisions they will make. Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Running the country isn’t like running a business BY JILL RICHARDSON Guest Columnist

Our president says he wants to run the country like a business. But it turns out running the government isn’t like running a business after all. Trump, for his part, says he’s located the source of the problem: the Constitution. All those checks and balances our founders are cramping his style. “It’s an archaic system,” he complained. Unfortunately for Trump, unlike on his reality TV show, when he doesn’t like a member of Congress, he can’t simply say, “You’re fired.” Yes, Trump was elected by… well, not a majority of Americans. Or even a plurality of voters. But he was legally elected, and he has some power. Yet he cannot erase or overrule the power of our representatives in Congress. How does Trump feel

about that? “It’s really a bad thing for the country, in my opinion.” Yes, he actually said that about our system of government — which, admittedly, is less eﬃcient than running a business. That’s the idea. A publicly traded corporation has one goal: to make money for the shareholders. A government, on the other hand, has many goals: economic prosperity, reducing poverty and hunger, keeping the public safe, preserving human rights and civil rights, and so forth. A successful business leader may excel in making money. It doesn’t follow that they can achieve the many other objectives the leader of a nation must work toward. A business can pick and choose who it deals with. The CEO can hire and fire employees at will and choose which other companies to work with. It can target its products towards

a particular customer base, instead of attempting to sell its products to the entire public. And the CEO is the boss. The government gets no such choices. The voters are the bosses. Our leaders have to deal with all of us, and they can’t pick and choose which segments of the population they want to represent. We’re all Americans. Furthermore, Trump doesn’t get to choose who’s in Congress. We do. Whether our members of Congress are Republicans or Democrats, they’re supposed to represent their districts. If Trump wants something that will harm their constituents, and potentially get them voted out of oﬃce, they won’t (or shouldn’t) go along with it. The president can’t simply issue orders and have them immediately followed like the head of a company can do.

In a company, it ultimately doesn’t matter if the marketing and the accounting departments disagree with the CEO. They have to do what they’re told to keep their jobs. In a democracy, it does matter whether the representatives from Montana or Florida agree with the president. If the majority of Congress doesn’t agree with the president, they won’t roll over and do as he likes. And he cannot fire them, because they’re accountable to their voters. So, welcome to Civics 101, Mr. President. You’re right. Our Constitution is “archaic” and it limits the powers of the presidency. That’s what our founders intended.

WH disputes intel was shared Report: Trump revealed classified info about IS to Russian officials BY DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump revealed highly classified information about Islamic State militants to Russian oﬃcials during a meeting last week, The Washington Post reported Monday, prompting strong condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans. Three White House oﬃcials who were in the May 10 meeting strongly denounced the story, saying no intelligence sources and methods were discussed — but they didn’t deny that classified information was disclosed. Citing current and former U.S. officials, the Post said Trump shared details about an Islamic State terror threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

The anonymous oﬃcials told the Post that the information Trump relayed during the Oval Oﬃce meeting had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligencesharing arrangement. They said it was considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government. “I was in the room, it didn’t happen,” H.R. McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser, told reporters outside the White House late Monday. “The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries including threats to civil aviation,” McMaster said. “At no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known.”

He said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Dina Powell, deputy national security adviser for strategy, remember the meeting the same way. “Their on-the-record accounts should outweigh those of anonymous sources” in the news report, he said. Tillerson said Trump discussed a range of subjects, including “common eﬀorts and threats regarding counter-terrorism.” He said that during that exchange the nature of specific threats were discussed, but they did not discuss sources, methods or military operations. Powell said: “This story is false. The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced.” The Post story — which was later confirmed by The New York Times and BuzzFeed News — does not claim that Trump revealed any specific information about how the intelligence was gathered. Still, it will only heighten Trump’s strained relations with intelligence workers and former oﬃcials, who view Russia as an adversary.

FESTIVAL CONTINUED FROM 1

wanted to do something to showcase Tishomingo County and our veteran’s and show our pride in this area. It’s so beautiful and so few people know about it,” said event organizer Sandra Medlin. Medlin, who is the event organizer, along with Lee Ann Robertson, said Robertson had approached her and asked Medlin what she thought about doing a festival in Eastport. “She [Robertson] had already been thinking about it, planning and talking to people around here. It was decided that it would be fun to get the Patriot Guard involved to honor veterans and things started taking shape and growing until it was too big for Eastport,” said Medlin. Part of the festivities for the Rockin’ on the River Festival now includes 200-300 Patriot Guard members doing a ride-in to escort veterans to the Veteran’s Ceremony. “This festival basically started out being about 300 people having a party at Eastport and now it’s turned into 3,000 to 5,000 people at J.P. Coleman State Park,” said Robertson, with a laugh. Robertson has had to plan for overflow parking

at Tri-State Commerce Park Building 100 and Alliant Techsystems, and shuttling festival attendees to the event location. The plan is for all attending veteran’s to meet at Tri-State Commerce Park between 9:30 and 10 a.m.. The Patriot Guard will escort the veterans in and the veteran’s ceremony will take place at 12 p.m. in from of the hotel at J.P. Coleman State Park. Robertson said the Dwight Wadkins Band will take the stage at 1 p.m. and play until 4 p.m. After the Veteran’s Ceremony, Robertson said the Patriot Guard will be doing various rides out and returning throughout the day. At 5 p.m. there will be The Bob Wiley Memorial Boat Parade coming in — with boats decorated in red, white and blue — and the Steve Hopper Band will take the stage and play until 9 p.m. “It’s going to be a great day,” said Robertson. The main sponsors of the event are A&B Distributing and Sonic, but Robertson said the event has grown so much, so quickly, that they could use some help with donations. She also noted there is a need for more food vendors for the event.

She hopes that more food vendors will see this event as a great opportunity and sign up. Along with entertainment, the boat parade and the veteran’s honors, the Army will be bringing some strategic vehicles for educational display, the Cherokee Tribe of Mississippi will be there with instructional literature about the Trail of Tears and there will be RV’s on display, as well. The Rockin’ on the River Festival is a free event. However, J.P. Coleman State Park will charge $6 per car as a park entry fee — no matter how many occupants in the

car. Please advise at the park entrance if you are an armed forces veteran. If you ride a shuttle bus into the park, it is $2 per person. “Come on out and bring your lawn chairs or blankets. Come by boat or by land and wear your red, white and blue,” said Robertson. (For more information, to make donations, or food vendor sign up, call Sandra Medlin at 662423-8638 or Lee Ann Robertson at 662-2790538, or visit the webpage at rockinontheriverfest.com or e-mail at rockinontheriverfest@ gmail.com.)

Trump, GOP control selection of FBI chief Associated Press

WASHINGTON — While Democrats may trot out any number of demands or maneuvers to influence the selection of the next director of the FBI, here’s a reality check: Republican President Donald Trump fired James Comey, and he and his party will decide who’s next. And they’re not wasting time. Trump said Monday the selection process for a nominee for FBI director was “moving rapidly.” Democrats irate over Comey’s abrupt ouster, and concerned by the inclusion of politicians on the list of possible replacements, are demanding Trump not select a

partisan leader. Although they’re likely to mount considerable pressure before and during the confirmation process, they don’t control enough votes to influence the outcome since Republicans hold a 52-seat majority in the Senate. “If they can keep all 52 together, then it won’t matter,” said Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. If Republicans “start to lose a couple, or two or three look like they’re not on board, that could create more pressure on the majority leader and the president to perhaps do something other than what they were planning on doing.”

“JESUS IS THE WAY” In a day of compromise, arbitration, and concession, the thought of there being only one way to life is offensive to some. Yet Jesus was not a lunatic when He affirmed, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Jesus is the way out. He is the way out of sin. Sin deceives.” and many are enslaved without realizing it. Some say, like the ancient Pharisees, “We are not under bondage” (cf. John 8:33). This denial is based on a limited understanding of sin and moral wrongdoing. Sin will manifest itself on blatant actions such as stealing, killing, and immortality, but it may also occur in attitudes and ambitions. Only Jesus can deliver from the slavery of sin (John 8:32). Jesus is the way through. When illnesses, disappointments, and failures come, Jesus is the way through these difficulties. Just as Israel needed the cloud by day and light by night, so we need a guide that assists us through the dangers of evil and wrong. Jesus is also the way through an uncertain future. Jesus gives us hope for the future. Experience confirms the need for strong daily faith. Jesus is the way in. Jesus gives life in abundance. All seek satisfaction, yet some are confused in thinking an affluent life is equivalent to abundant living. Jesus said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). He is the way to have inexpressible joy, a condition much deeper and more permanent than happiness. Happiness to many depends on circumstances, yet Christ brings joy even in the midst of the most adverse circumstances. Jesus is the way up. He enables us to reach greater potential. We’re made to love, worship, and serve the Lord. Someone once said, “If you would find the best potatoes, go to Idaho; the best onions, go to Michigan; the best apples, go to Washington; the best peaches, go to Georgia; the best sailors, go to Annapolis; the best soldiers, go to West Point; but to find the best being, you must go to Jesus.” He alone will lift you up to heights never imagined before. Jesus is the way to heaven. If you sought a guide to a location you had never visited before, you would not choose a guide who had never visited your desired destination, but you would seek one who knew the way. Jesus left the splendors of being with the Father. Read your Bible - Matt. 28:18-20 - Welcome
