Event honors local industries BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Locals celebrated the contributions of existing industries in Corinth and Alcorn County Monday with the annual appreciation luncheon. Visiting Corinth for the event was Andrea Mayfield, executive director of the Mississippi Community College Board. Alcorn County is home to 51 manufacturing firms and 1,485 business establishments. “There are so many employers here in Alcorn County that are so vital and make Alcorn County and Corinth what it is and certainly make The Alliance what it is,” said Jason Marlar, Alliance CEO. “We want to stop just for a moment and say, ‘thank you.’ ” Manufacturing accounts for 24 percent of the county’s 16,821 workers and provides an average annual wage of $44,360. Industry of the Year awards went to Alcorn Industries in the small category and Magnolia Regional Health Center in Please see INDUSTRIES | 2

The event will be held from 6 p.m. to midnight in the grassy area in front of CHS. Team membership has increased by two from last year, according to Vickie Duke, Relay for Life Community Manager for the American Cancer Society. As of earlier this week, 12 teams have signed up to give cancer the boot. “Teams can join at any time,” said Duke. Last year, the local relay event had only nine teams. “I think once people know what we are doing and why, more teams will come onboard,” said event chairperson Lanell Coln. Relay night will begin at 5 p.m. on June 10 with the Survivor Dinner at Tate Baptist Church. Survivors will then make the short walk across

Service project produces free little library BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

After discovering the Little Free Library program in the summer of 2015, Teacher Academy Instructor Nan Nethery of the Alcorn Career and Technology Center knew it was the perfect service learning project for her students. “Being the Pinterest fanatic that I am, I immediately began my research project and found

so many ideas and examples of the little houses,” said Nethery who started collecting children’s books, as well as, preteen and adult selections. “I found myself frequenting local consignment shops, Goodwill, and yard sales in search of books for our library.“ When school began in August, Nethery decided to seek the assistance of fellow instructor Tim Bradley who teaches

Construction. “I love collaborating with the other programs at ACTC and wanted to see if he and his students could help us with the project,” she said. “I think the students gain so much from working together.” Beginning with a sketch of what she wanted built, the Teacher Academy instructor said she was blown away by the results.

Farmington cleanup day set BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Farmington is joining the community cleanup movement by targeting trash this Saturday. The cleanup day is set for 8 a.m. to noon. Participants should gather at the City Hall a little before 8 a.m. to receive supplies. Farmington will also provide pickup of debris such as tree limbs and shrub cuttings on this day only. Residents need to contact City Hall to make arrangements. “We’re asking everybody to help us pick up trash on the Parkway and encouraging people to clean up their yards,” said Mayor Dale Fortenberry. Volunteers will pick up trash on the Kimberly Clark Parkway from the southern city limits to Kendrick Road, as well as other

roads. Litter has been a concern on the new KC Parkway. “We’re going to increase the police patrolling on litter,” said Fortenberry. “It’s too pretty a Parkway to have litter on it.” Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful is supporting the event, which is Farmington’s first cleanup day. Director Andrea Rose is pleased to see another community getting involved in organized litter removal. “People are taking an interest in cleaning their communities,” she said. “We all want to live in clean, green, thriving communities. That is what motivates many to pick up litter, because they see what a positive impact their eﬀorts make.” For more information, contact the City Hall at 665-9647.

Check for AMEN Food Pantry

Staff photo by Kimberly Shelton

Board member and volunteer John Cooper and treasurer and board member Ellis Rhett of the AMEN Food Pantry are presented with a $1,000 Hunger Action Grant from St Andrew Presbytery (PCUSA) with New Hope Presbyterian Church of Biggersville acting as the sponsoring church. The check was presented by Sam Kemp, who applied for the grant.

the large category based on the criteria of capital investment during 2015, number of employees added and the community service of employees. Mayfield talked about the links of productivity, education and economic development and the importance of partnerships to the community college system. “Mississippi business and industry have a desperate need for a skilled workforce right now — not 10 years down the road,” she said. “There are simply not enough skilled people to fill the available jobs right now, and that’s why we have a workforce crisis. Working together as partners will allow us to solve this problem in Mississippi.” Along with collaborations with other educational entities and government agencies, several initiatives are in development. “We are planning to incorporate apprentice-

ships as part of our programs,” said Mayfield. “The Mississippi community college board just partnered with the Mississippi Department of Employment Security to submit an apprenticeship grant so our community colleges will have funds to do this. And we are working to create our workforce pipeline — who are those people going to be filling the shoes of those who retire?” The college board recently made a move to list career readiness certificates earned in Mississippi in the national database so they will be visible to employers. “That’s a game changer,” said Mayfield. She is also pleased to see a number of counties pursuing designation as a “work-ready community,” which involves a certification process through ACT. The system is also making additional funds available for career and technical programs, she said.

Scientists to study Shell spill in Gulf The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Researchers are heading out to study the effects of a Shell leak of about 88,200 gallons of oil off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico, a scientist said on Monday. Last Thursday, a leak from a pipeline at the Shell oil production field was spotted and cleanup vessels began to skim oil off the Gulf on Friday. The cleanup continued on Monday. The leak was contained after wells flowing into the pipeline were shut in. Ian MacDonald, an

oceanographer at Florida State University, said the scientists should reach the oil slick by Wednesday. “We saw porpoises in the oil, we saw balls of bait fish in the oil,” he said. “From the air, you would have thought you were in the Deepwater Horizon spill.” In 2010, a BP well blew out and led to the death of 11 workers aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. For 87 days, millions of gallons of oil leaked into the Gulf in the nation’s worst oﬀshore spill.

“We thought about dressing up our booth as a saloon and serving root beer during the night,” he said.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, May 17, the 138th day of 2016. There are 228 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 17, 1954, a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision which held that racially segregated public schools were inherently unequal, and therefore unconstitutional.

On this date: In 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its origins as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street. In 1875, the first Kentucky Derby was run; the winner was Aristides, ridden by Oliver Lewis. In 1912, the Socialist Party of America nominated Eugene V. Debs for president at its convention in Indianapolis. In 1939, Britain’s King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Quebec on the first visit to Canada by a reigning British monarch. In 1940, the Nazis occupied Brussels, Belgium, during World War II. In 1946, President Harry S. Truman seized control of the nation’s railroads, delaying — but not preventing — a threatened strike by engineers and trainmen. In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro offered to release prisoners captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion in exchange for 500 bulldozers. (The prisoners were eventually freed in exchange for medical supplies.) In 1980, rioting that claimed 18 lives erupted in Miami’s Liberty City after an all-white jury in Tampa acquitted four former Miami police officers of fatally beating black insurance executive Arthur McDuffie. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed a measure requiring neighborhood notification when sex offenders move in. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to allow legal same-sex marriages.

Authorities: 4 die in small plane crash The Associated Press

TUPELO — Four people died Monday when a small plane crashed shortly after taking oﬀ from Tupelo Regional Airport in Mississippi. Tupelo city spokeswoman Leesha Faulkner said emergency oﬃcials were called to the site about a half-mile north of the airport about 8:30 a.m. The pilot and three passengers all died when the single-engine plane

crashed in a field adjoining the Tupelo Buffalo Park & Zoo. “We don’t have any survivors,” Tupelo Fire Department public information officer Cathy Gault said. Lee County officials did not immediately release the names of the dead. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit of the Beech-

craft Bonanza before the crash. She said the FAA will investigate and the National Transportation Safety Board will determine the crash’s cause. FlightAware.com shows that a Beechcraft Bonanza plane, registered to a man in Kerrville, Texas, had flown from there to Tupelo on Sunday. It was scheduled to continue to Charlottesville, Virginia, on Monday. The weather was over-

cast with a light wind at the time the plane took oﬀ. “There’s quite a bit of wreckage. The debris is very broken up,” Tupelo Police Chief Bart Aguirre told reporters. “We did find some bodies on the scene.” Laurie Carwile, who works in the gift shop at the Tupelo Buﬀalo Park & Zoo, said she heard the crash and later saw smoke. “We actually thought

it was thunder,” Carwile said. “I was in the gift shop and this man came beating on the door telling me to open the door. I thought we were being robbed. He was actually trying to tell me the plane had come down and to call 911.” Carwile said no animals were hurt at the park, where buﬀalo, zebras and camels live, but “they all seem to be on edge a little bit.”

Across the Region Booneville School district looks to funding increase BOONEVILLE — Booneville School District leaders are anticipating an increase in state funding for the next budget cycle. Superintendent Todd English told the district’s board of trustees they expect to see an increase of approximately $117,000 for fiscal year 2016-17 from Mississippi Adequate Education Program funds. The increase is the result of a rise in the district’s average daily attendance. MAEP uses attendance figures as part of its formula to allocate state funds to school districts. The district is in the early stages of planning for the new budget year and English said the top priority will, as always, be maintaining the quality of instruction provided to students. Officials will be looking at the best ways to meet the district’s financial needs while creating a balanced budget.

The board also heard about success on the statewide third grade reading tests. Third grade students must pass the test showing that they are reading on grade level or they cannot advance to the fourth grade. The superintendent told board members 96 percent of the district’s third graders passed the test on their first try. The four percent who didn’t meet the benchmark represents five students and teachers are working with these students to prepare them to succeed on one of two retesting opportunities they will have. He shared with the board a recent update from the state superintendent of education which noted Booneville school district is one of the most financially efficient school districts in the state.

Corinth, Miss.

2016 budget grim; 2017 looks ugly, too JACKSON — The shortfall in Mississippi’s state budget for the year starting July 1 is almost certainly more than the $57 million announced last week. And then there’s another question: Can the state can limp through June 30 without another round of cuts to close out the current 2016 budget? State revenue collections were thrown for a loop when the Department of Revenue Jeff Amy absorbed an earlier budget cut by dismissing the temporary Capitol Dome workers who opened individual income tax returns and sorted out paper checks. Spokeswoman Kathy Waterbury said Friday that all that mail has now been opened, and all those checks have been deposited. But individual income tax receipts for April and May are running $15 million less than they were in 2015. That could set Gov. Phil Bryant up for a third round of budget cuts in the closing weeks of the current fiscal year. The Republican governor has already cut $60 million and spent $50 million out of state savings accounts to cover $110 million in shortfalls. There’s plenty more money in the Rainy Day Fund, but Bryant only has authority to spend $10 million more without additional legislative action. In a $6.3 billion budget, $15 million is a tiny amount of money. But even small cuts could be ugly at the last minute, giving agencies only a few weeks to absorb them. For example, if state aid to school districts was again trimmed, most districts would have little choice but to try to make up the difference out of local cash on hand. Next year isn’t looking a lot better. Everyone makes mistakes, and revenue estimation is an imprecise science. Apparently legislative staff members double-counted certain amounts of cash, and maneuvers that were supposed to generate $186 million are only going to produce $129 million. But the error also reflects, in part, the decision by lawmakers to undertake a major budgetary reform in a hurry. This isn’t the first time that lawmakers have sent out orders to agencies to hand over cash to fill a hole in the state budget, grabbing $104 million to spend this year and in 2017. But ending the ability of one agency to pay another for services has caused huge confusion across state government. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, for example, disputes the idea that less state spending is to blame for changes at the Department of Mental Health. He says the agency, which announced a series of service cuts last week, will actually come out $1 million ahead in state support after lawmakers removed the need to transfer money for lawyers, computer services and rent. “While we’re going to experience some growing pains in this process, in the long term, the taxpayers are going to be far better off,” Reeves told Mississippi Public Broadcasting, saying the process would lead to more legislative control and efficiency. “We’re going to be able to cut expenditures.” And cuts may be needed. There could be at least another $120 million in deficits already lurking in 2017. Mississippi’s Medicaid program asked for a $1.04 billion budget in 2017, but got $88 million less. That appropriation assumes the program will spend less in 2017 than this year, which almost never happens. State Treasurer Lynn Fitch also says lawmakers put $31 million less than needed into the budget to make state debt payments next year. So that makes the possible deficit lurking in the upcoming 2017 budget something like $175 million. For now, though, lawmakers say they’ll hope revenues improve, and if not, try to patch things up next year using state savings. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Trump wants to make a deal Prior to the 2012 election, Democrats had a theory: Republicans were in the grip of a “fever” that had led them to oppose and attempt to obstruct President Barack Obama at every turn. If Obama won a second term, the fever would break. President Obama himself floated the idea. It turned out to be completely (and predictably) wrong. It wasn’t an irrational mania that led congressional Republicans to do all they could to block the president’s agenda, but abiding philosophical and policy disagreements that weren’t going to dissipate with Obama’s re-election. Sure enough, the president’s second term was as acrimonious as the first. Now, though, maybe the GOP fever – to use Obama’s insulting term – has indeed broken. After years of touting principle over compromise, the Republican Party has fallen into the arms of a presidential candidate who views government as little else than dealmaking. It turns out that every old Washington graybeard who laments that members of the opposing parties don’t get along the way they used to, every panelist on a PBS program tsk-tsking

Washington gridlock, every political scientist who professes to be shocked at the allegedly Rich unprecedentLowry ed partisanship of the National now Review GOP, has his ideal Republican presidential candidate: none other than Donald J. Trump. Has there been another modern presidential candidate who has believed so sincerely and deeply in negotiation, almost as an end in itself? For Trump, nearly everything is an opening bid. The two weeks since he eﬀectively won the Republican nomination have been devoted to the theme of flexibility. He’s abandoned his former opposition to increasing the minimum wage, said his proposal for a massive tax cut for the wealthy might end up being a tax increase for the wealthy, and even deemed his iconic temporary Muslim ban just “a suggestion.” Trump favors strategic ambiguity – on everything. He says he doesn’t want to be too explicit about his foreign policy because it

will tip off our adversaries about our intentions. He apparently doesn’t want to tip anyone off at home, either. An adviser has been quoted in the press saying that Trump won’t settle on his domestic policy until the period between his election and his inauguration. One of Trump’s key insights in the primaries was that Republican voters didn’t particularly care about policy. Even he may be taking it a little far, though. Outside of his longstanding ideological core of skepticism of trade and opposition to the country’s foreign commitments, Trump’s views are written in sand. Even on trade and foreign policy, he often expresses his positions simply in terms of getting better deals. There’s nothing wrong with horse-trading, of course. But it isn’t an end in itself. The philosophy that informs the dealmaking is important. What Paul Ryan or Chuck Schumer considers a good deal on Social Security or Medicare – another area where the Trump team is suddenly signaling flexibility after he ran opposing changes in the programs – is very different given their ideological beliefs and policy goals.

It is a testament to Trump’s political skill, and the strange crosscurrents on the right, that the businessman won the Republican nomination with the support or acquiescence of the same voices who have been most opposed to Beltway negotiations. If nothing else, he will counter the stereotype of contemporary Republicans as obstructionist and rigidly ideological. Trump will portray himself as more practical and more centrist, or at least more ideologically unpredictable, than Hillary Clinton. She is locked in eternal enmity with Republicans; Trump just wants to get things done, with whoever happens to be sitting around the table. No one could have predicted that the era of teaparty ferment – focused on first principles and hostile to half-a-loaf compromises – would end by elevating a man who considers himself a negotiator above all else. For now, the Republican rallying cry has gone from “Give me liberty, or give me death” to “Let’s make a deal.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Will the Trump nomination change our patterns? An irresistible force meets an immoveable object. The irresistible force is the sense of discontent with how things have been going during this young century. Americans are displeased with a sluggish economy that fell into a deep recession and with foreign policies that seem to have produced disappointing results. The immoveable object is the strong partisan polarization of American voters, who have been casting almost equal percentages of their votes for each political party in presidential and congressional elections for two decades now, except for a surge against Republicans in 2006 and 2008. The irresistible force of discontent has been apparent in this year’s primaries. Donald Trump, with 41 percent of the popular vote, has seized the Republican nomination. Bernie Sanders, with 42 percent of the popular vote, has moved the agenda of the Democratic Party significantly leftward. Trump’s victory raises the possibility that the immoveable object will be moved – i.e., party alignments will shift. That is certainly suggested by the March and April polling that showed him behind Hillary Clinton by as much as 50 to 39 percent. Trump’s Republican opponents charged that his nomination could produce a landslide defeat like 1964 and

1972, when Barry Goldwater and George McGovern got 38 percent of the vote. Michael They worBarone ried in particular about Columnist the eﬀect on Senate races, in which they’re defending seven seats in states carried by Barack Obama in 2012. Obama won all but one of those states by relatively small margins, but the fear was that, in an era of straight ticket voting, a weak presidential nominee would pull down-ballot Republicans down to defeat. The point about straight ticket voting is correct. Only 26 of 435 congressional districts voted for one party’s presidential nominee and the other party’s candidate for House of Representatives in 2012 – the lowest number since 1920. It’s not obvious that voters have lost the capacity to split their tickets. That’s consistent with primary season polling in target state Senate races, in which the numbers are roughly consistent with prevailing partisan patterns. Republican candidates could be hurt if Trump depresses Republican turnout. But as he has pointed out, accurately, Republican presidential primary turnout has been up this year, while Democratic pri-

mary turnout has been lower and is down from 2008. Meanwhile, some recent polls suggest that Republican voters are coalescing around Trump. Quinnipiac has him running even or better with Clinton in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio, target states without whose electoral votes Barack Obama would have been defeated in 2012. National polls by Reuters/Ipsos and Public Policy Polling show about equal percentages of Republicans supporting Trump and Democrats supporting Clinton, though Clinton’s numbers may well rise after Bernie Sanders stops campaigning. Still, these are signs that Trump is consolidating Republican voters, perhaps more eﬀectively than Republican elites. In addition, polling after Trump’s 50 percent-plus victories in six Northeastern primaries shows the general election race tightening, with Clinton leading him by an average margin of 47 to 41 percent. You could argue that those are disappointing numbers for both candidates. The universally known Clinton is running behind Barack Obama’s 51 percent majority and seems not to be benefiting from the recent small but possibly critical increase in Obama’s job approval rating (from 46 percent in January to 49 percent in April). And the

universally known Trump is running well below 46 percent, the lowest vote share for any major party nominee since 2000. I have noticed something else that may be significant in recent polls: The number of undecided voters seems to be increasing – rather than decreasing like it usually does when nominees are determined. This could result from cross-pressures. Majorities of voters have unfavorable feelings toward both candidates, and probably a record share, about 25 percent, has unfavorable feelings toward both. Apparently, some voters are having trouble deciding which repellent candidate to vote for. That’s just one question still to be determined. Another is turnout. Will upscale suburbanites appalled by Trump or young people not enchanted with Clinton bother to vote? So far the irresistible force doesn’t seem to have moved the immoveable object as far as many people expected. But it’s too early to say it won’t.

Trump says he never posed as his spokesman The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Back when Donald Trump’s love life was tabloid heaven, a Trump spokesman with intimate knowledge of the businessman’s personal relationships offered juicy stories about a failing marriage, a new live-in paramour and three other girlfriends he was juggling at once. The spokesman identified himself as John Miller. But The Washington Post says it was actually Trump, posing as his own publicist on the phone with a reporter who wondered why Miller’s voice sounded so familiar. The Post has unearthed a recording of that 1991 phone call. The voice on the phone describes Trump as irresistible to women. “He gets called by everybody in the book, in terms of women,” says the voice. “He’s got a whole open field, really.” On NBC’s “Today” show Friday, Trump denied being the voice on the phone. “I don’t know anything about it,” he said. But he owned up to it at the time, describing the Miller call as a “joke gone awry,” said the Post. Trump also testified in a 1990 court case that he occasionally used the name John Miller and disclosed that his favorite alias was John Baron. In the call with People magazine reporter Sue

Ferrell’s wins sales award Mr. and Mrs. Brian Ferrell of Ferrell’s Home & Outdoor of Corinth recently won a trip to Hawaii for being one of the top Exmark dealers in a six-state region. R.W. Distributors, Inc., the Exmark Distributor, awarded this trip for outstanding sales of Exmark mowers. Brian Ferrell (middle) was honored with an Exmark plaque during the awards banquet in Hawaii.

Carswell, the “spokesman” said “actresses just call to see if they can go out with him and things.” He said Madonna “wanted to go out with him” and “came in a beautiful evening gown and combat boots” to hang out with Trump at the Plaza Hotel, which he owned. “He’s got zero interest that night,” said the man known as Miller, apparently meaning they did not have sex. Trump’s marriage to Ivana Trump was ending that year and he was with Marla Maples, who would become his second wife. He was also seeing three other women, said the “spokesman,” including model Carla Bruni. Carswell, now at Vanity Fair, told the Post she played the recording to Maples, who confirmed the call was from Trump himself and cried upon hearing him say that a ring he had given her was not meant to imply an engagement — although their engagement was announced weeks later. Carswell says Maples persuaded Trump to invite her out with the two of them to make up for the trickery. A Trump supporter in Congress, GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, said what happened back then “has no bearing on who he is today.” “It doesn’t matter to me one whit,” he said.

Singer O’Connor found unharmed The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Police in suburban Chicago said Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O’Connor was found safe Monday after oﬃcers received a report that she never returned from a Sunday bike ride in the area. Wilmette police spokesman Eric Peterson said O’Connor had been located, “is safe and no longer considered a missing or endangered person,” though he wouldn’t say where she was found or release details about her condition. Local police issued a well-being check for O’Connor earlier Monday, saying someone called to report that she hadn’t been seen since leaving for a bicycle ride early Sunday morning. It’s unclear why O’Connor was in Wilmette, an upper-class suburb about 15 miles north of Chicago along Lake Michigan. O’Connor, who has performed at least twice in Chicago this year, scored an international hit in 1990 with her rendition of Prince’s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” The gifted but troubled singer-songwriter is known as much for her fierce and expressive voice as her shaved head and blunt criticism of the Catholic Church and other institutions. Police said she reportedly left for her bike ride at 6 a.m. Sunday. About two hours later, a rambling message was posted on her oﬃcial Facebook page that cited an upcoming court hearing and a child custody dispute. On Friday, a long message posted as an “open letter to my son Shane” encouraged the 12-yearold to bring his own case against Tulsa, a child welfare agency in Ireland. Paradigm Talent Agency, which represents

O’Connor, declined comment when reached by The Associated Press earlier Monday. Her publicist didn’t return a message. O’Connor was sued this month by comedian Arsenio Hall over a Facebook post that stated investigators looking into the supplier of drugs used by Prince should question Hall. She also accused him of drugging her. The lawsuit seeks $5 million. And in November, she posted a message on Facebook saying she had taken an overdose at a hotel somewhere in Ireland. Irish police later said she had been found safe. The next month, O’Connor posted on Facebook that she had been detained in a hospital for mental health evaluation. Her rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” topped charts from Europe to Australia, and earned O’Connor multiple Grammy Award nominations. In 1991, O’Connor was named Artist of the Year by Rolling Stone. But her blunt-spoken manner often drew criticism, especially in the United States. In 1990, some U.S radio stations refused to play her music after she banned the “Star-Spangled Banner” from her show in New Jersey. She drew intense criticism in 1992 when she ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live.” O’Connor, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago, has spoken of her mental health problems. She told Oprah Winfrey in 2007 that before her diagnosis she had struggled with thoughts of suicide and overwhelming fear. She said at the time that medication had helped her find more balance, but “it’s a work in progress.”

Ex-lawyer: Bengahzi action was proper Odd kidnapping The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military acted properly on the night of the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, according to leaked testimony from a retired, three-star Army general who served as chief lawyer for Republicans on the House committee investigating the attacks. Retired Army Lt. Gen. Dana Chipman “repeatedly commended the military’s actions on the night of the attacks during closed interviews with Defense Department oﬃcials,” including a Jan. 8 interview with former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Democrats on the committee say. Chipman, a former judge advocate general for the Army, served as chief counsel for Republicans on the House Benghazi panel from Au-

gust 2014 until January. Top Democrats on the committee — Reps. Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Adam Smith of Washington — released the testimony Sunday in a letter to the panel’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. The letter is the latest volley in an escalating, electionyear fight over the House Benghazi investigation, which has lasted more than two years. Democrats have called for panel to disband and say it is a thinly veiled excuse for Republicans to undermine Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the attacks. Republicans say the Obama administration has dragged its feet, failing to produce needed documents or interview subjects, delaying a final report in the twin as-

Things the Devil Wants to Do

In this article we want to direct the attention of the reader to things that the devil wants to accomplish in this world. Keep You Out of the Church First, the devil wants to keep every responsible soul out of the church. There are many reasons for this. The saved are in the church. He does not want you to get in with the saved. While you are out of the church, you are unsaved, and well does the devil know this. If you are ever saved, at that moment the Lord adds you to the church. (Acts 2:47.) “And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” The devil is not going to allow you to be added to the saved if he can help it. Get You Back Into the World If the devil does not succeed in keeping you out of the church, then he will do everything he can to get you back into the world after you have gone into the church. And how many times he is successful in this undertaking! Paul wrote of one of the grethren after this fashion: “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world.” (2 Tim. 4:10) What caused Demas to forsake Paul: It was the love of the present world. It will do it every time. “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James4:4.) It is a fearful thing to go back into the world. One is then in a worse condition than he was before he went into the church. “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, “The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire”. (2 Peter 2:20-22.) The Christian has escaped the pollutions of the world. What an awful thing to again become entangled therein and overcome! “For if we sin willfully after that we have receiveed the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” (Heb. 10: 26-29.) How does the devil get Christians back into the world? He does everything he can to weaken their faith. Evil companions will corrupt good morals. Many a faithful Christian has been overcome by associating with the wrong companioins. Worldly enterprise and society cause many to go back and walk no more with the Lord. The doctrine of once saved always saved will cause still others to fall. The devil has many and sundry ways of keeping you out of the church. He will argue that the church is not essential to one’s salvation right in the face of Eph. 5:23. “He will ridicule and misrepresent the church. He will do his best to substitute some human church for the real church. The Lord adds to THE church the saved. Read Act 2:36-47. Welcome.

saults on Sept. 11, 2012, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. The Democrats’ letter quotes Chipman as telling Panetta: “I think you ordered exactly the right forces to move out and to head toward a position where they could reinforce what was occurring in Benghazi or Tripoli or elsewhere in the region. And, sir, I don’t disagree with the actions you took, the recommendations you made and the decisions you directed.” Chipman later told Panetta that he was “worried” that U.S. officials were caught by surprise during the Benghazi raids, which occurred on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Still, Chipman told Panetta: “Nothing could have affected what occurred in Benghazi,” the letter said. Democrats said the comments by Chipman contradict a persistent GOP claim that the Obama administration could have done more to respond to the attacks. Previous investigations have blamed management failures at the State Department for a lack of security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, an issue that has dogged Clinton and other Obama administration officials. “The conclusions of your former chief counsel match almost exactly the findings — from more than two years ago — of the House Committee on Armed Services, which conducted its own investigation into the attacks in Benghazi,” Cum-

mings and Smith wrote in a letter to Gowdy. Cummings is the senior Democrat on the Benghazi panel, while Smith is senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. He also serves on the Select Benghazi panel. Jamal Ware, a spokesman for the Benghazi panel, said he could not comment on the remarks attributed to Chipman, saying the panel “can’t talk about any of the transcribed interviews” conducted in private. The panel has interviewed more than 90 witnesses, including at least 71 who have never been interviewed about Benghazi by a congressional committee, Ware said. Gowdy has said the committee has made “considerable progress” in recent months and expects to issue a final report before summer. Republicans emailed a statement from Chipman Monday saying he agrees with Gowdy that if some witnesses refer the committee to other witnesses, “the responsible thing to do is interview them. The committee has an obligation to the American people to determine what can and cannot be substantiated, so if an individual makes public allegations about Benghazi, the committee should interview that person.” Cummings and Smith said Gowdy omitted Chipman’s comments when he fired back at the Defense Department recently for criticizing the GOP-led investigation into the Benghazi attacks.

in Utah results in three arrests The Associated Press

PINEDALE, Wyo. — A father and son accused of heavily using drugs and tying up a woman and her four teenage daughters in a Utah home because they believed the family reported them to authorities surrendered five days later in Wyoming in a bizarre case that also led to the arrest of the younger man’s mother. Flint Wayne Harrison, 51, and his son, Dereck James “DJ” Harrison, 22, were arrested Saturday after police said they lured the women, restrained them and beat the mother before the victims managed to escape. Maryann Dalrymple Harrison went to Wyoming to help her son and was detained for a probation violation after leaving Utah without permission, authorities said. The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office in Wyoming didn’t provide further information about her, including why she was on probation or her relationship with the elder Harrison. Both men have refused to talk to investigators trying to learn more about what led up to the violence last week. The break in the manhunt came after Flint Harrison turned himself in Saturday and then worked with authorities to help them find his son. It’s not clear why the elder Harrison, who is a registered sex offender, surrendered. Hours later, his son was taken into custody without incident in a forested area of western Wyoming. The younger Harrison told the U.S. Forest Ser-

vice officer who arrested him that he had been hiding in the trees and brush most of the day until he saw a helicopter involved in the search and knew police were closing in, officials said. He walked toward officers manning a roadblock and surrendered. “This is an incredible end to a very stressful day,” Sublette County, Wyoming, Sheriff Stephen Haskell said. The men face various charges stemming from Tuesday attack’s in Centerville, Utah, including aggravated kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance. The men are accused of tying up the mother and daughters with zip ties. When the elder Harrison hit the woman with a baseball bat, the teens began to break their ties, according to charging documents. In the struggle that followed, one girl slapped away a shotgun pointed at her throat and another grabbed the bat and hit the son, police said. The victims ran from the house. The father and son had been using methamphetamine heavily over several days, leading to paranoia and the false belief the mother had turned them in, police said. The younger Harrison was a close friend of the woman’s family. He often visited their home for dinner or picked the girls up from school. The Harrisons fled after the attack and were eventually picked up by someone who took them to Salt Lake City, where they spent Tuesday night in a hotel, authorities said.

Man shoots child, 3, riding in vehicle MEMPHIS, Tenn. â€” Police say a 3-year-old girl was shot multiple times while riding in a car in Memphis. Police said in a statement that a woman reported being flagged down Sunday night by a man while driving through an apartment complex. She told officers that the man began to flirt with her, and when she rejected his advances, he pulled out a handgun and began firing into her vehicle. A child in the car was hit, and police spokesman Louis Brownlee said that the girl remained in extremely critical condition Monday morning. Police say there were multiple bullet holes in the car windows on the passengerâ€™s side. The investigation is continuing. No arrests have been made. Â

Memorial for Prince held at his church MINNETONKA, Minn. â€” Security was tight as mourners packed a Jehovahâ€™s Witnesses Kingdom Hall on Sunday evening for a memorial for megastar Prince, who worshipped there before he died last month. Traffic cones lined the streets in front of the church in the Minneapolis suburb of Minnetonka, and media and fans were kept well back from the invitation-only event. City spokeswoman Kari Spreeman said last week that police were preparing for up to 500 people, including up to 50 high-profile guests. Some people who werenâ€™t able to get inside before the church filled up were able to obtain programs, which they shared with reporters outside. The program said the service was to begin with the song â€œHe Will Call,â€? followed by an opening prayer. It also included an â€œinterviewâ€? with Larry Graham, the former Sly and the Family Stone bassist who was Princeâ€™s spiritual mentor and introduced him to the Jehovahâ€™s Witnesses faith. The program was to conclude with the song

â€œSee Yourself When All Is Newâ€? and a closing prayer. Â

USDA not alone in mosquito counting The USDA isnâ€™t alone in trying to fill data gaps about invasive and disease-carrying mosquitoes by counting them. Other efforts continue in several states. â– The University of Arizona and partner agencies are recruiting volunteers for another Great Arizona Mosquito Hunt , which last year analyzed the contents of traps set by over 70 schools. â– University of Miami researchers are crunching five years of surveillance data from MiamiDade Countyâ€™s mosquito control office to create seasonal maps, somewhat like hurricane warnings, showing the risk of mosquitoborne diseases under various conditions. â– State governments in Louisiana and New York , which already survey for a different mosquito implicated in West Nile infections, are deploying new traps to learn when Aedes aegypti and Asian tiger mosquitoes are prevalent. â– Floridaâ€™s Orange County, home to parts of Walt Disney World, wants 10 more seasonal workers this year to keep up with doorto-door surveillance triggered when health officials suspect a mosquito-borne virus.

Police accuse man of kidnapping niece ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. â€” A man accused of taking his 9-year-old niece out of school and disappearing with her for more than a week says he doesnâ€™t understand why he is charged with kidnapping. Gary Simpson was found with the girl Friday in a remote area of Hawkins County in East Tennessee after an 8-day manhunt. Simpson, 58, shared custody of Carlie Trent and her sister until last year, while the girlâ€™s father was jailed on drug charges. He told a judge in court Monday that he does not get why he is being charged for something that the girlfriend of his nieceâ€™s

State Senate leader facing DUI charge

MONTPELIER, Vt. â€” The leaves are coming out on trees, daffodils are starting to bloom and snow is falling in parts of Northern New England, a month before the official start of summer. The National Weather Service said 3.4 inches was recorded in the northern Maine town of Caribou early Monday, setting a record for the most snow this late in May. Five inches of snow fell in Caswell and New Sweden, Maine. In northern New Hampshire, Pittsburg recorded 2.5 inches. The Vermont towns of Middlesex and Hyde Park and near Pomfret got 2 inches Monday morning. But the snow is expected to be short-lived. The forecast calls for temperatures to rise, with rain in northern New Hampshire and Maine. Â

JACKSON â€” The second-ranking leader of the Mississippi Senate has been charged with DUI after a one-vehicle wreck. Republican Sen. Terry Burton of Newton was charged after running a sport utility vehicle off of Interstate 20 and hitting a sign about 10 p.m. Saturday in Scott County, according to a statement Monday from a Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman, Capt. Johnny Poulos. Burton did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press on Monday, and it was not clear whether he has an attorney to speak on his behalf In January, Burtonâ€™s colleagues chose him as Senate president pro tempore. In that role, he is an ally of Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, and he presides over the Senate when Reeves is not available. He also chairs the Senate Rules Committee. Burton voted for two bills this year to strengthen DUI laws, and both have been signed by Gov. Phil Bryant. Â

Airlines report fewer delays, cancelations

Skeletal remains found in Jackson

Airlines canceled and delayed fewer flights in March and consumer complaints were down. The Department of Transportation said Monday that 81.5 percent of flights on the main airlines arrived on time during March, up from 78.7 percent in March 2015. Hawaiian Airlines was the best performer, while Spirit Airlines finished last. About 1 percent of flights were canceled during the month, an improvement from 2.2 percent a year earlier. The figures donâ€™t include more recent periods, in which thousands of passengers have missed their flights because they were stuck in long security-checkpoint lines. The report covers the 12 largest U.S. airlines. Flights on Hawaiian, which routinely operate in good weather, arrived on time 89.9 percent of the time. Delta Air Lines was second-best at 87.9 percent.

JACKSON â€” Skeletal remains have been discovered in Jackson. Jackson Police Department Commander Tyree Jones told news outlets that the remains were discovered Sunday afternoon in a wooded area by people searching for a lost dog. Authorities believe the remains could have been out there for months. Jones said that police have not determined the identity, sex, race or gender of the remains. Jackson police are currently reviewing the missing persons files to determine if they can find a match. The remains have been transported to the state medical examinerâ€™s office for further investigation. Â

Residents awaken to snow in mid-May

However, there are several variations of the logo, depending on which city department is using it. In an effort to unify the cityâ€™s branding, The Oxford Eagle reported that Alderman Robyn Tannehill has been spearheading an effort to create one standard logo for all city departments. Tannehill presented the proposed logo to the Board of Aldermen during a work session last week. It hasnâ€™t changed from the original concept a whole lot - itâ€™s still a tree inside of the â€œOâ€™â€™ but the tree is connected to the circle, which is a â€œcleaner.â€? Tannehill said she expects to have the final version ready by June 1. Â

Blessing of the Fleet attracts community PASS CHRISTIAN â€” The 40th Blessing of the Fleet brought the Pass Christian community together for a Gulf Coast tradition. WLOX TV reported that locals gathered at Pass Christian Harbor Sunday for food, dancing and a boat parade. Around a dozen boats departed the Harbor, and traveled around a large stationary yacht. On board were Father Michael Vu and the Rev. David Faulkner, who both blessed each vessel as it passed. Originally a Catholic ritual, the Blessing of the Fleet has become a staple in the fishing industry as a symbol of good luck. Â

Louisiana residents die in car accident NATCHEZ â€” Two Loui-

siana residents passing through Mississippi died in a one-car accident. Mississippi Highway Patrol troopers responded to the wreck on U.S. Highway 61 South of Natchez at 12:24 p.m. Sunday. Adams County Coroner James Lee told The Natchez Democrat the driver, 34-year-old Mika Peoples, of Calhoun, Louisiana, was ejected from the vehicle, which ran off the roadway and collided with a tree. Lee said a passenger, 27-year-old Shana Leblanc, of Gonzales, Louisiana, was thrown into the back seat in the wreck. Lee said Peoples was pronounced dead at the scene, while Leblanc was later pronounced dead at the Merit Health Natchez emergency room. The wreck remains under investigation Â

Petal seeking room to grow with annex PETAL â€” Petal officials hope to annex about 9 square miles, which they say will help the city better plan for its future. The board of aldermen is expected to formally vote on the annexation at todayâ€™s regular meeting at City Hall. The board passed an ordinance May 6 to start the process of adding territory to the Petal city limits. Mayor Hal Marx tells The Hattiesburg American the city currently sits on about 16.8 square miles. Once the formal plan to annex has been adopted, Marx said the next step will be to file the plans with chancery court, where the actual process will begin.

Eye on housing Economists predict that new home construction accelerated last month. The Commerce Department is expected to report today that builders broke ground on new apartments, condos and single-family homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of about 1.11 million in April. That would be up from a rate of about 1.09 million the previous month, when construction declined by the largest amount in five months.

Dear Annie: Several months ago, my fiancee of two years announced that she wanted to date other people. Although I knew things had not been good between us, I was devastated. We met on the Internet, and I saw that she was back on the same website. I talked to her, hoping she would give me a sign that she wanted to get back together, but she said she wanted to see other men and that I should see other women. I was desperate and even logged onto her page on the dating website, hoping to get through to her. After a few days of her not responding, I started getting messages from other women. I made a date with one of them, and we ended up having sex afterward. I felt terrible about it. I called the woman and told her I couldn’t see her anymore because I was still in love with someone else. I continued to call and text my ex, even though I knew she was seeing other men. This went on for about six weeks. Last week, my ex and I had a wonderful day together and ended up cuddling under a blanket on her sofa. Things started to get romantic, and she asked if I had been out with or had sex with anyone. I answered truthfully. She became angry and

Annie’s Mailbox said she did not want to see me again. While I’m not making excuses for something I should not have done, I am confused by her attitude. She said she expected me to know that she still loved me, even though she never responded when I tried to get back together. Why did she insist that we date other people? Am I as bad as she is making me out to be? I don’t know what to say that I haven’t already said. — Heart Torn Out Dear Heart: We suggest saying “goodbye and good riddance.” Your ex wasn’t satisfied with you nor committed to your relationship. If you got back together, we suspect she would break your heart repeatedly. She also expects you to read her mind, which is unfair and manipulative, and gives her a reason to leave whenever she gets bored. We agree that you should not have hopped in the sack with the first woman you met, but you were essentially unattached and free

to do as you pleased. We know you are heartbroken, but we hope you can also see that you dodged a bullet with this woman. You deserve to find someone who cherishes and respects you. Dear Annie: “Not a Creepy Guy” said his son’s fiancee thinks he’s creepy, for no particular reason. Another reader said all young women think middle-aged guys are creepy. I am a woman in my mid-30s and I have worked in health care for the past 10 years. I have discovered that any amount of polite, friendly attention can quickly turn a man, no matter his age, into Mr. Creepy. I have been grabbed and cornered and had to endure inappropriate comments. Now I do not treat any man as a safe and respectable human being. — Better Safe Than Sorry Dear Better: We have to wonder what men you are encountering that they are ALL like this. You should never have to tolerate being grabbed and cornered, but your experience seems so lopsided that you might want to reconsider your work environment.
