Cycle shop cleanup effort continues BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The cycle shop property at the corner of Fillmore and Tate Street could be salvaged, according to the city building inspector. The property received another extension from the city board for cleanup efforts, this time until June 6. Larry Meeks,
owner of the lot facing one of the busiest downtown intersections, is currently hospitalized and could not attend Tuesday evening’s meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. His wife, Juanita Meeks, speaking on his behalf, said he stepped on a nail while working in the building. At the board’s request, Build-
ing Inspector Greg Tyson assessed the structure. “It’s really not in too bad a shape,” said Tyson. “The building can be salvaged.” However, because of the large amount of items inside, he was not able to fully examine the interior. “That back wall is the biggest concern,” he said.
Bringing the heat
It may need roof work, but it is not currently leaking. It also needs an electrical upgrade, said Tyson. Some brick needs to be relaid because of tree damage. The shielding placed in front is planned to be temporary due to some of the front glass being shot out. Meeks plans to remove it when the storefront is fixed.
Firefighters rescue injured city worker BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Dirt caved in on two Corinth Sewer Department workers Tuesday afternoon at a work site, leaving one with a broken leg. City officials identified the worker as Wayne Bennett and said it appeared he had a broken leg and injuries to his other leg. A second individual was also taken to the hospital to be checked out for a possible shoulder injury, said John Michael Tucker, the city’s construction works supervisor. He said replacement of a sewer line was in progress

Crossroads Chili Cookoff makes return BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Chili lovers can support a flame worthy good cause later this month at the Crossroads Chili Cookoff. The tenth annual event will help raise money for the Crossroads Museum’s Save the Fire
Truck Campaign when it returns Memorial Day weekend. Set for Saturday, May 27, professional chili cookers from around the country will converge on the Corinth Depot to compete for cash prizes and a ticket to the International Chili Society (ICS) World Champion-
ship. “We have had a long relationship with the Crossroads Museum and are so very happy to finally be able to donate proceeds to them,” said cookoff chairman Steve Knight. “We Please see COOKOFF | 2A

at Magnolia and Oak Lane. Bennett and the other worker were in an area about 15 feet deep when the bank caved at about 3 p.m., trapping them from the waist down. Plywood was used to brace the walls to keep more dirt from caving in during the rescue. Tucker speculated the vibration of the equipment caused the dirt to work loose and fall. First responders dug Bennett out. Alderman Chip Wood, serving as mayor pro tem at Tuesday evening’s meeting of the city board, requested prayers for Bennett.
Tax office prepares for coming changes BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Alcorn County Tax Collector’s Office is preparing for a few changes coming this year that will bring some cost increases. The Board of Supervisors on Monday approved a contract for the printing of motor vehicle tag renewal postcards, which is shifting from the
state to the counties. Tax Collector Larry Ross said his office mails 33,000 of the cards annually. A three-year contract with Peregrine, the company that prints the office’s property tax notices, will see the notices mailed at a cost of 31 cents each, an additional cost of Please see OFFICE | 2A
Boat parade named after Wiley BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com
Wiley
IUKA — The man who loved the water and wanted some way to recognize Eastport, may be smiling down on the weekend boat parade which has been named in his honor. The Bob Wiley Boat Parade will take place Saturday as one of the featured highlights of the First Rockin’ on the River Festival. The parade will begin at 5 p.m. Saturday at J.P. Coleman State Park. It has been billed as being a “patriotic boat parade like no other” by event organizers. Any type of boat is welcome to join
the parade in honor of “Captain Bob Wiley.” All boat captains have to do is to show their crews’ patriotism by decorating their boats in red, white and blue. The Rockin’ on the River Festival is a salute to veterans for Armed Forces Day, as well as a celebration of Mississippi’s Bicentennial. The decision to add Wiley’s name to the parade as a memorial event was an inspired one, said event organizer Lee Ann Robertson. “Bob was such a nice guy. He was the kind of person who Please see PARADE | 2A
The Bob Wiley Memorial Boat Parade will be part of the fun expected for the Rockin’ on the River Festival to be held this weekend at J.P. Coleman State Park. The boat parade was name in honor of Wiley, who event organizers said was often called “The Ambassador of Eastport.”

about 3 cents. A second quote in hand was for 33 cents per card. Ross said it would cost his office more to mail the cards than it will under this contract. He is looking to implement the change in July ahead of the launch of new computer software in October. Tax collectors’ offices will begin using the Mississippi Automated Registration Vehicle Information Network. “It’s going to cause us to have to print every form that the state has been sending us from now on,” said Ross. This will bring some unknowns to the upcoming budget, he said. In other business:
• The board accepted Affordable Tree Service’s quote of $1,500 for the cutting and removal of a hackberry tree at court square. Rot has been observed in the tree’s base. A replacement will be planted, possibly during next year’s courthouse anniversary observance. • Trustmark Bank was the winning bidder for financing for the purchase of 911 office equipment at 2.32 percent. Commerce Bank bid 2.35 percent, and Farmers and Merchants bid 2.49 percent. • The board accepted Road 518-B as a public road. • The sheriff’s department reported monthly billing for the correctional facility for April totaling $305,628.68.

would help anyone with anything,” said Robertson. It was said that Wiley had a love of the outdoors and being on the water that likely began with his 1960s childhood summers spent on his family’s houseboat on Pickwick Lake. Robertson said Wiley’s family was the second family to own a houseboat at Pickwick. He graduated from Mississippi State University and joined the family business, Comfort Engineering, married Debbie Smith Wiley and settled in Tupelo. He rebuilt his first pontoon boat and raised his three children, Matt, Katherine and Preston to grow up as he did — spending weekends and summers at Pickwick. Born in Tupelo, July 30, 1956, Wiley passed away on Labor Day weekend, on his boat, Sept. 6, 2015, at Eastport Marina on Pickwick Lake, Iuka. Robertson said he loved
Eastport and always wanted to do something to promote it. He talked about it so much that it began something they joked about. Robertson said Wiley was known as the “Ambassador of Eastport.” The upcoming festival was originally planned to be held at Eastport, but has grown in such large proportions, that it is now being held at J.P. Coleman State Park. When the decision was made to name the boat parade as a memorial event to to Wiley, Robertson said she first asked his widow. “She [Wiley’s widow] cried when I asked her. She said, ‘Bob would love that,’” said Robertson. Wiley’s family and the Sundaze Crew will lead the parade as Grand Marshals of the inaugural event. Directions for boaters who would like to participate in the parade: Boaters will gather at two places on the river for the parade. Eastport, Millcreek, Bear Creek and Alabama boaters will line up at Eastport from 3 to 4 p.m. If a boater is coming from Pickwick Lake,
Grand Harbor Condominiums and Marina, Pickwick Landing State Park, Aqua Yacht Harbor Marina or the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway, they will line up at the Pickwick Waterfalls from 3 to 4 p.m. Both groups will arrive at the mouth of J.P. Coleman State Park and merge at 5 p.m. Bob Wiley’s family and the Sundaze Crew will lead the boat parade from Eastport to J.P. Coleman State Park. The Waterfalls group will follow the last Eastport parade boat into Indian Creek and J.P. Coleman State Park for the official start of the parade. There will be a “Boaters Only” party. Prizes and awards will be given for the best decorated, most spirited boat and crew, most patriotic, etc. (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.)

The museum is currently working toward a $16,500 goal thanks to the Corinth Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau’s pledge to match up to that amount if raised in 2017. Beginning at noon on cookoff day, the public can taste test more than 15 chilis prepared by top chili cooks. The tasting is part of the cookoff’s People’s Choice Competition where the winner will walk away with a $100 cash prize. “The People’s Choice Competition allows the public to be the judge,” said Knight. “Anyone who purchases a tasting kit can taste all the available chili and salsa. They will also be able to judge the red chili and help pick the overall People’s Choice winner.” Tasting kits will be sold for $5 each from the Coke trailer in the Corinth Depot parking lot on cookoff day. The kit will include a judges ticket, spoons, cups and napkins. Knight said the cookoff also welcomes local cookers to enter the People’s Choice category.
“There’s some good bragging rights if a local beats these professional cooks for People’s Choice chili,” he said. “It’s only $35 plus two gallons of red chili to enter.” The cookoff will also feature red chili, chili verde and salsa in ICS categories. Total prize payout is around $3,000 and winners of each category advance to the ICS World Championship Chili Cookoff.

Across the Region Tishomingo County Glen man arrested on drug charges
Today is Wednesday, May 17, the 137th day of 2017. There are 228 days left in the year.
TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A recent traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a Glen man. Zachery Bascomb, 29, of 102 County Road 352 in Glen, was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), according to the Tishomingo County sheriff’s office. Tishomingo Sheriff’s deputies conducted a traffic stop on May 5 on a vehicle on the westbound side of U.S. Highway 72 for failing to have a tag. During the stop, the deputy noticed that both the driver and the passenger, identified as Bascomb, were acting extremely nervous. The deputy asked Bascomb to step out of the vehicle and he admitted to having some alleged methamphetamine on his person. A search was conducted of the vehicle and drug paraphernalia was found inside the vehicle. Bascomb’s case will be presented to a grand jury for their consideration.
Today’s Highlight in History On May 17, 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its beginnings as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street and signed the Buttonwood Agreement.
On this date In 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. In 1957, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his first national speech, titled “Give Us the Ballot,” during the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, D.C. 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 1973, a special committee convened by the U.S. Senate began its televised hearings into the Watergate scandal. 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 1987, 37 American sailors were killed when an Iraqi warplane attacked the U.S. Navy frigate Stark in the Persian Gulf. (Iraq apologized for the attack, calling it a mistake, and paid more than $27 million in compensation.) In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to allow legal same-sex marriages. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and retiring British Prime Minister Tony Blair held a joint news conference at the White House, during which Blair allowed not a single regret about the Iraq war alliance. One year ago: Bernie Sanders won Oregon’s Democratic presidential primary while Hillary Clinton eked out a razor-thin victory in Kentucky.
Tippah County Town honors doctor with historical marker TIPPAH COUNTY — The unveiling of a historical marker honoring the late Jessie Mauney, M.D. was held in Blue Mountain recently, reported the Southern Sentinel. Relatives, friends and residents of Tippah County gathered to witness the historical marker that is now located at MS 15 and East Main Street. Dr. Mauney was a general practitioner in Blue Mountain for 59 years, handling most medical needs from delivering babies to treating the common cold. She saw patients in her home based practice as well as making house calls. Dr. Mauney is remembered for the dedication and love she showed in all of her years practicing medicine. Her nephew, Jimmy Gunn reflected on her dedication saying, “It wasn’t a job to her, it was a life.” Dr. Mauney once said in an interview done by WMC New Channel 5 in 1981 that practicing medicine, “Makes you feel like you are worth a little something in the world.” Also in the interview, when asked about her practicing at an age well past when most doctors end their careers, Dr. Mauney said, “My philosophy has always been that if you could hoe the whole row of cotton, hoe it. If you got to where you couldn’t hoe but half of it, hoe it. If you got down to one stalk, hoe it, and when you got past that; sit in the end of the row and twiddle your thumbs, and watch the other fellow.” Any traveler driving through Blue Mountain will be able to
see the maker and its engraving that reads, “After losing her brother, a doctor, in WWI, Jessie Mauney was inspired to become a doctor. Despite gender discrimination, she persisted and earned a medical degree from Tulane Medical School, practicing from 1927 until 1985. Her clinic was in her home in Blue Mountain. She was Blue Mountain College’s first Alumna of the Year in 1969.” The legacy of such a great pioneer in Tippah County shall continue on with not just the historical marker, but also with stories of her being passed on to new generations.
Tupelo Schools lock down after gunshot reports TUPELO — Reports of shots fired on Ida Street Monday afternoon forced two area schools to go into lockdown, reported the Daily Journal. Pierce Street Elementary and Tupelo Middle School went to partial lockdown after someone called 911 reporting shots fired in the 1500 block of Ida Street. Police canvassed the area and found no suspect or victim, but did locate fresh shell casings. The lockdown was in effect for less than an hour and lifted at 3:05 p.m.
Jackson Fallen officers honored at annual police memorial JACKSON, Tenn. — West Tennesseans who have given the ultimate sacrifice were honored at an annual police memorial, reported WBBJ. The somber memorial drew nearly a hundred people to downtown Jackson to honor those killed in the line-of-duty. “Regardless of how they died in the line of duty, we are here to remember them and honor them,” Michael said. Michael said barely a day goes by that he does not think about Sergeant Andy Bailey, his brother in blue who was fatally shot in 2004. For many of the friends, family members and officers at the memorial, memories are all they have left of their loved ones. “He loved his job, he respected everybody and he would go out of his way to help people,” said Judy Cagle. Her husband, Henderson Police Captain Dennis Cagle was shot while responding to a robbery call in 2009. “I am so blessed to be a part of it each year, and that they ask us to be with the family and everything and to put this on,” she said. Madison County Sheriff John Mehr said it is important to continue to honor the fallen. “It’s just to come back and remember the officers that were dedicated, and lost their

lives serving their community,” he said. The first recorded was officer Newton Perkins of the Jackson Police Department, who died in July 1876.
Starkville Hospital won’t provide information for bidders STARKVILLE (AP) — A countyowned hospital says it won’t produce information sought by Oktibbeha County supervisors before a June 12 deadline for potential buyers to submit inquiries. The Commercial Dispatch reports OCH Regional Medical Center board Chairman Jimmy Lindley wrote a letter to supervisors on Monday saying it would take 60 to 90 days to compile all the information sought for bidders to review. Lindley also writes that the hospital won’t hand over some private information, placing its hopes on a proposed referendum asking voters to ban the sale or lease of the hospital. Oktibbeha County supervisors voted 3-2 to seek proposals for hospital, despite opposition from physicians and others. County Supervisor Orlando Trainer, the sale’s main supporter, says lack of data could result in poorer bids, but won’t stop the process.
Belmont NMMC nurse is recipient of annual award BELMONT — Kristen Long, director of nursing for inpatient surgical services, presented North Mississippi Medical Center’s Excellence in Mentorship award to Michelle “Micki” White, RN, 4 West charge nurse. White earned her associate degrees in nursing and psychology from Northwest-Shoals Community College. She holds a business administration degree from Athens State University. She joined NMMC’s 4 West 10 years ago and was named charge nurse shortly thereafter. White is a member of the Mississippi Nurses Association and has achieved Level III in NMMC’s ADVANCE program. She lives in Belmont with her daughter, Ansley. NMMC’s Excellence in Nursing awards were presented May 11 at the BancorpSouth Conference Center in Tupelo.
Oktibbeha County Two MDOT workers injured in gas station fire OKTIBBEHA COUNTY — Two Mississippi Department of Transportation workers were injured after a fire breaks out at a local gas station, reported WTVA. The incident happened near 8:20 a.m. at the Sprint Mart
store on the corner of New Light Road and Highway 12. The Oktibbeha County Fire Marshal says an MDOT tractor struck a pump at the station. MDOT says a mowing crew from the Starkville Maintenance Office was fueling a tractor when the fire broke out. One MDOT employee was injured in the fire and was airlifted to Jackson. A second employee was injured assisting the first worker. The second worker is being treated locally. Investigators are looking at surveillance video from the store to try and determine how the fire happened.
Starkville Police: Vehicle strikes, kills man on bicycle STARKVILLE — Authorities say a bicyclist was struck and killed by a vehicle in Starkville. Starkville police say they responded to the collision around 7 p.m. Sunday and found John “Jay” Burrell, 54, of Starkville unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash remained under investigation and an autopsy was planned.
Savannah 5K to benefit families of volunteer firefighters SAVANNAH, Tenn. — An upcoming 5K will provide runners an opportunity to run in memory of fallen firefighters. On Saturday, the Firefighter Support Fund in Hardin County will host the races. The 5K starts at 8 a.m. at First United Methodist Church in Savannah. A 1-mile walk begins at 10 a.m. It costs $25 to register. The fund helps local volunteer firefighters and their immediate families during a time of need.
Tupelo Wal-Mart robbery leads to arrest TUPELO — A Tupelo man was arrested for allegedly robbing a woman of her wallet and cash at Wal-Mart, reported WTVA. It happened Friday about 10:45 a.m. at the North Gloster Wal-Mart. The victim said a man wearing a dark shirt and light-colored pants had forcibly taken her wallet and cash. Police say witnesses tried to chase the suspect but lost sight of him. Police say a patrol officer later saw a man matching the robber’s description emerge from the woods in the 800 block of Barnes Crossing Road. The man is identified as Brian Gilliam, 34. After a short foot chase, Gilliam was arrested. Gilliam was charged with robbery. Bond was set at $50,000.

A Rose among all the thorns BY RAY MOSBY Columnist
“Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories about the deaths of kings…”—Shakespeare ROLLING FORK — Having just finished what seems Mississippi’s destined to be annual war over public education and its funding (with education losing yet again), and apparently without any scheduled attempt to address the subject anew in the looming legislative session, it occurs to me that one factor in this unbalanced equation which I touched on many years ago might bear mentioning again. The problem with education in Mississippi — indeed, in the whole country — is that they are not making any more Rose Schercks. Well, that and the fact that there are not enough homes with mommas and dads in them who under threats of beatings make their kids pay attention to the folks who are trying to teach them something or another. Of course, if you were a kid in Coahoma County in the late 1960s, if you didn’t pay attention to Mrs. Scherck, she would beat you herself — at least figuratively. Mrs. Scherck was in many ways a real life inkblot from Sinclair Lewis’ pen. She was the prototypical senior English teacher: mean, unreasonable, demanding. She did not buy the very best excuses from the very best young minds at any given time. The woman had a B.A. in B.S. recognition. Mrs. Scherck approached the sadly lost art of diagramming a sentence (“at the board, young man, at the board”), the proper placement of the world’s predicate adjectives with a fervor and passion of perfected detail, rivaled only by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s blueprints. She insisted that we read. The good stuff, the classics. She told us that it was only only O.K. to do so, but that it would actually help us in life to do so. Not a one of us ever let on that we paid any attention to her, but as she no doubt fervently hoped, a few of us actually did. And she insisted that we read the whole blasted thing, too. Mrs. Scherck hated a Cliff Note like I hate a hypocrite, and for a while there, my concept of hell was not being prepared for her class. I think that if you are a teacher that is a very good thing. She had a certain stare in such an instance which could put frost on a fireplace log; a certain acidity of wit which could turn the big man on campus into the adolescent in the woodshed. She was, purely and simply, a teacher. She did not merely occupy a teaching position and receive taxpayer funded compensation for it, she was a teacher. And like most of what now frequently seems to be a nearly extinct species, she was extremely unpopular among those of us not yet old nor wise enough to comprehend the concept. It was years after before most of us came to realize truly how much we owed her. As a public school teacher in 1969, Mrs. Scherck was never adequately paid for that which she so adamantly forced our class to borrow from her — her knowledge of the English language and her knowledge of the importance of that knowledge, itself. She indeed forced us, coerced us into taking that priceless loan that she was never to ask any of us to pay back. But an entire generation of students in Clarksdale and its environs share that debt to the mean old woman of our teenage years who somehow became the remarkably warm, caring and considerate and oh, so wise Southern Lady of our adulthoods. Give or take a few years, I suppose that I am now just about the age that Rose Scherck was when she was teaching us and that was a long, long time ago. But you know what? I can still diagram a sentence. Ray Mosby is editor and publisher of The Deer Creek Pilot in Rolling Fork.
Prayer for today Gracious Lord, I pray that I may not only be known to those who are my own, but may I consider all mankind. May those who need me find me through my gentleness, and may they be assured by quiet confidence and faith. Amen.
A verse to share I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” —Luke 24:49
Mr. President, please stop the insults During an interview last June in his New York office, I asked Donald Trump about his use of language that many considered insulting and divisive. “Will there be a pivot for you from the primaries to the general election campaign?” The candidate said “I agree” about the tone of the campaign and that he intended to pivot. “It’s starting very soon,” he promised. We’re still waiting. The president was within his rights to discharge FBI Director James Comey, but it is the way he did it, sending a letter instead of a face-to-face meeting or even a phone call, that was disturbing. Comey was not only blindsided when he learned of his dismissal during a speech in Los Angeles, the president called him names and then tweeted that Comey “...better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” Intimidation is ugly and unbecoming for any president. Comey’s sudden dismissal is fueling suspicions there is more to discover about alleged connections between
the Trump campaign and Russia, something that has yet to be proved. Whatever Cal C o m e y ’ s Thomas s h o r t c o m ings -- and Columnist there are more than a few -- he deserved better, even if only to make the president look good. In an interview with Lester Holt of NBC News, the president called Comey “a showboat” and said he was guilty of “grandstanding.” Maybe so, but wouldn’t the president have benefited by thanking Comey for his years of public service? Wouldn’t it have been better if he’d said, “I want to see the FBI move in a different direction”? The president has threatened to cancel the daily White House briefings because he says he is moving so fast his spokespeople don’t always get it right. Fine, let him brief the press directly as FDR and Calvin Coolidge did. I voted for Trump and have appreciated his promises to take the country in
a better and more prosperous direction. His selection of Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court and his promise to fill lower courts with constitutional conservatives has the potential to place government back within the boundaries the Founders set for it. His businessman instincts to reform a government that has become bloated, dysfunctional and burdened with debt are much needed. However, the president’s goals are hurt when he, instead of his policies, becomes the story -especially a negative story. Anger is not policy. Insults do little to change anyone’s mind. The latest Quinnipiac University Poll shows the president’s approval rating has dropped to 36 percent, a near record low. His disapproval has risen to 58 percent. Astonishingly, the poll also shows the media, which Trump has often called “fake news,” and worse, is now trusted more than him. That is bound to harm his policy goals as Democrats smell blood and feel empowered to oppose him on everything. Here are some positive suggestions that might turn
things around. An old Glen Campbell song should be his theme: “Try a Little Kindness.” Find some positive things to say and do. Unemployment has fallen to its lowest level since 1988. Have some newly employed people in, as he did with the coal miners, some of whom were unemployed or underemployed during the Obama years. They could thank the president for reducing expensive regulations on businesses that allowed them to hire more people. Trump should remind Americans where he is trying to take the country. Turn those constant tweets into positive statements. Just as light overcomes darkness, so, too, do positives overcome negatives. Americans respond to optimism (read Ronald Reagan’s speeches). Let the Democrats own gloom and doom. The president should rise above that and rekindle an optimistic spirit that has always led America to new heights. Please knock off the insults, Mr. President. They are poisoning your presidency and the good you and a Republican Congress can do.
Rigged: The worst word in American politics For the past couple of years, the most important word in American politics has been the worst -“rigged.” Emanating from slang back in the 17th century, developing into a description of financial fraud, and then branching out to apply to cheating in sports and elections, “rigged” had a breakthrough year in 2016, and it shows no sign of loosening its grip. It is a word of grievance and conspiracy. It is a word of institutional distrust. It is a word of larger forces beyond our control taking advantage of us. It is a word that says, “We wuz robbed -- and we will make the bastards pay.” In short, it is the perfect term for a fevered era in our national life. “Rigged” began to get its currency as a charge thrown around by the anti-globalization movement and leftwing critics of income inequality. The anti-poverty group Oxfam issued a report in 2002 on globalization called “Rigged Rules and Double Standards.” The word popped up during the heyday of Occupy Wall Street. So it wasn’t

unexpected that Bernie Sanders made the “rigged” economy a rallying cry. Rich What was Lowry s u r p r i s i n g was that ReNational publicans Review embraced a candidate for whom the word “rigged” was and is a verbal tic, the all-purpose, ever-ready explanation for any setback or anything he opposes. Donald Trump has charged, not to put too fine a point on it, that everything is rigged. “It’s not just the political system that’s rigged, it’s the whole economy,” he said during the campaign. The rigging specifically encompassed, among other things, “unfair trade, immigration and economic policies,” as well as the Republican primary (at least when he was losing ground), the Democratic primary and the race for Democratic National Committee chairman this year. Since Hillary Clinton picked up on the verbiage from Bernie Sanders, both major-party candidates last
year argued that the system had been manipulated by nefarious forces working for their self-interested ends, i.e., “rigged.” The election was basically a contest over which party had a better claim on the word. Yes, “the game is rigged,” Elizabeth Warren thundered. “It’s rigged for guys like Donald Trump.” In the stretch run of the campaign, Trump warned his supporters that “we are competing in a rigged election” and demurred from saying in advance that he would accept the results. Democrats lamented Trump’s rhetoric as tantamount to the end of democracy, but when he pulled off a stunning upset, they immediately resorted to rigged charges of their own. Trump hadn’t really won; the election had been stolen in a smoke-filled room somewhere in the Kremlin. The charges and countercharges contrast with the bygone era when national politicians avoided public allegations of foul play even when they might legitimately suspect it. Richard Nixon didn’t contest his razor-thin defeat in the 1960 presidential elec-

tion, despite doubts about the vote count in Illinois and Texas. He thought it wouldn’t be good for the country, whereas now charges of rigging are the default. With trust in most American institutions badly eroded over the past 40 years, such accusations find a ready audience -- and do their part to undermine trust a little bit more. The idea that whatever we don’t like about our country is the handiwork of shadowy forces is a form of paranoia, certainly when it involves systems as large, diverse and uncontrolled as our politics or our economy. But there is a certain comfort in this mindset. It provides a ready, simple explanation for unwelcome trends or outcomes, and fixes responsibility for our troubles on an enemy. It implicitly promises not so much the creation of a set of truly neutral rules or more legitimate institutions than simple vengeance against those who are allegedly responsible for the rigging. In other words, it heralds a particularly nasty politics, and, increasingly, it’s the one thing that unites the right and left.

Post 6 Auxiliary honors veterans Staff reports
The American Legion Post 6 Auxiliary enjoyed a big turnout for its recent veterans dinner. More than half of the 140 people in attendance were Post 6 veterans. The steak dinner was by invitation only to the members and a guest. The auxiliary worked hard with various fundraisers in order to provide the dinner in their honor. The evening included a memorial service in memory of members of the Legion and Auxiliary who had passed this year. Post Chaplain Warren Jones and Auxiliary Chaplain Shree Burleson officiated the service. Both charters were draped for the memorial. A certificate of appreciation was presented to the United States Family and Honors Group in honor of their service to local veterans by providing military honors at funeral services for veterans. They do this in honor of the deceased veterans and to let their families know that their service will not be forgotten. “This is the last thing they can do for their fellow comrades,” said Auxiliary President Carlean Parker. Recognition also went to Ricky Brown and the Corinth National Cemetery Grounds Crew in appreciation of the excellent care and upkeep of the cemetery. “I am so proud to be a member of such a wonderful group of ladies,” said Parker. “We raise money every year for our various programs for the veterans and

WH defending disclosures Dad tries to reason why BY VIVIAN SALAMA AND JULIE PACE Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday defended President Donald Trump’s disclosure of classified information to senior Russian officials as “wholly appropriate,” as Trump tried to beat back criticism from fellow Republicans and calm international allies increasingly wary about sharing their secrets with the new president. The highly classified information about an Islamic State plot was collected by Israel, a crucial source of intelligence and close partner in the fight against some of the America’s fiercest threats in the Middle East. Trump’s disclosure of the information threatened to fray that partnership and piled pressure on the White House to explain the apparently onthe-spot decision to reveal the information to Russian diplomats in a meeting last week. In a series of morning tweets, Trump declared he has “an absolute right” as presi-
dent to share “facts pertaining to terrorism” and airline safety with Russia. Although top aides on Monday had declared reports about Trump’s discussions false, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on Tuesday sought instead to downplay the significance of the information Trump revealed. The president had been engaging in “routine sharing” with foreign leaders, he said, arguing that some of the information was publicly available. Still, the revelations sent a White House accustomed to chaos reeling anew. It is extraordinary for a president to share such information without consent of the country that collected it, apparently violating the confidentiality of an intelligence-sharing agreement with Israel. It was, perhaps, even more remarkable that Trump chose to confide in representatives of an adversary, who could use the information to find its source. A U.S. official who confirmed the disclosure to The
Associated Press said the revelation potentially put the source at risk. The U.S. official told AP that Trump shared details about an Islamic State terror threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. The official said the disclosure came as Trump boasted about his access to classified intelligence. An excerpt from an official transcript of the meeting reveals that Trump told them, “I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day.” The official said the information was provided to the U.S. by Israel. The extraordinary leak of Trump’s private conversations in the Oval Office appeared to be a direct consequence of the president’s combative relationship with the U.S. spy agencies. The White House vowed to track down those who disclosed the information.
son decapitated mother Associated Press
ESTACADA, Ore. — An Oregon father is struggling to try to understand why his adult son allegedly decapitated his mother on Mother’s Day and then showed up at a grocery store with her head, stabbing a clerk there until workers overpowered the man and police arrested him. David Webb said his 36-yearold son, Joshua Lee Webb, had vision problems and received Social Security payments but never showed any signs that he might be capable of the crime. Police described him as “catatonic” after his arrest. “I never foresaw a problem. If I had I would have stopped it,” David Webb told The Associated Press before bursting into sobs during a telephone interview. Joshua Lee Webb decapitated 59-year-old Tina Marie Webb Sunday afternoon at the family’s rural home in the once-significant logging town of Colton, about 40 miles south of Portland, the Clackamas County
Sheriff’s Office said. He then showed up at about 12 miles away at a small grocery story covered in blood with a large kitchen knife and carrying her head, authorities said. A judge ordered Webb held without bail during his arraignment Tuesday, The Oregonian/ OregonLive reported. Webb is charged with murder, attempted murder, first-degree abuse of a corpse and first-degree aggravated animal abuse. Judge Jeffrey Jones set a preliminary hearing for Webb on May 23. The mother had told David Webb that she believed their son was depressed, but the father said he never saw any indications of that when he spoke with his son. The parents recently bought him a dog because he wanted one. “I just can’t believe I lost my wife and son in one day...I wish I had some answers, but I don’t. I waited all my life to retire with my wife, and now I can’t. That’s all I know.”

Activists: Release videos in slaying HARTFORD, Conn. — Police in Connecticut faced increasing calls Tuesday to release surveillance videos and other documents related to an officer’s fatal shooting of an unarmed 15-year-old driver, as many questions about the killing remained unanswered. Authorities said Bridgeport Officer James Boulay fatally shot Jayson Negron and wounded 21-year-old Julian Fyffe on May 9. Police said Boulay opened fire when Negron nearly ran over him while driving a stolen car. Negron’s relatives dispute the police story. They said they were initially told he died shortly after he was shot in the head. The medical examiner said he was shot in the chest, and amateur video shows him moving a few times while he is handcuffed and lying in the street. Officials said Negron’s body lay in the street for more than six hours — but was shielded from public view with screens — while state police investigated, which reminded some activists of the killing of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown’s body also was left in the street for hours.
Museum installs painting of attack NEW YORK — A New York City museum installed John Singer Sargent’s painting depicting British soldiers wounded in a World War I gas attack. The American artist’s 8-foot by 20-foot oil on canvas titled “Gassed” was mounted Tuesday in the New-York Historical Society’s museum on Central Park West as part of a new exhibit, “World War I Beyond the Trenches,” opening Memorial Day weekend. The exhibit, which runs through Sept. 3, commemorates this year’s 100th anniversary of the U.S. entering WWI. Sargent’s 1919 painting, on loan from the Imperial War Museum in London, is being displayed in New York for the first time. It depicts
a line of British soldiers blinded by mustard gas being led to the rear. The soldiers, with bandages covering their eyes, trudge past similarly wounded comrades on the ground.
Videos show quirks of church gunman CHARLESTON, S.C. — A week before the sentencing phase of his trial, Dylann Roof got a visit in jail from his mother, who pleaded with him to reconsider his decision to act as his own lawyer in the fatal shootings of nine black worshippers at a South Carolina church. But Roof was more concerned with the clothes he would wear to court. Since he could not have his first choice of his comfortable jail jumpsuit, he wanted two-tone gray pants, inseam 29, not 30, so they wouldn’t hang over his shoes. In the nearly three hours of footage from family visits, Roof laughed at his dad’s jokes, tried to trick his mom into thinking he had tinsel and a stocking in his cell for Christmas and told his halfsister he would invite her to his execution. He also upbraided his mom for feeding his cats too many treats and told his dad not to believe all of Donald Trump’s promises now that he’s president. He even cried, convinced he had syphilis despite extensive examinations by doctors. Recently released court papers indicate that the 23-year-old told a psychologist that he never had a girlfriend. On the videos, Roof did not mention anything about the nine people he killed in the 2015 massacre at Emanuel AME church in Charleston. He was sentenced to death in January on federal hate-crime and obstruction-of-religion charges.
Complaint targets prayer talk reprimand AUGUSTA, Maine — A high school worker filed a federal complaint Tuesday against her school district, saying officials were being discriminatory when they reprimanded her for
telling a co-worker that she’d pray for him. Toni Richardson, a special education technician, contends she was “interrogated” by school officials about the remark in which she intended to offer encouragement to a colleague who goes to her church. She was later warned against using “phrases that integrate public and private belief systems.” “The school reprimanded me because my words, spoken privately to a colleague, involved religious content,” she wrote in her complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Augusta Schools Superintendent James Anastasio did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Richardson is seeking to have the reprimand rescinded and for the school district to make clear to employees that there’s nothing wrong with discussing their faith in private conversations, said her attorney Jeremy Dys.
Cosby doesn’t expect to testify PHILADELPHIA — Bill Cosby said he doesn’t expect to testify at his sexual assault trial and suggested that racism “could be” behind the scores of accusations against him. Cosby also said he thinks the approximately 60 women who have accused him of sexual misconduct came forward only after earlier allegations raised a decade ago died down. “The piling on, so to speak, is a way and certainly an impressive way to get public opinion to come to the other side,” Cosby said. The comedian spoke to SiriusXM radio host Michael Smerconish in a 33-minute segment broadcast Tuesday, less than a week before jury selection gets underway. Smerconish said on his Facebook page that he agreed to air audio from the Cosby family “only if I could interview Bill Cosby.” The program included about four minutes of recorded excerpts from statements two of his daughters made and an interview one daughter conducted with him.

Woman killed, information sought SHANNON — Police in Mississippi are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found lying in her carport. The Daily Journal reports the body of 66-year-old Molly Gladney was found Sunday evening in the driveway of her Shannon home in northeast Mississippi. Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson says a deputy responding to an alarm call a few doors down discovered Gladney, who was last seen at a family gathering Saturday night. He says unlike Gladney regularly does, her alarm was not activated 24 hours before she was found and there were no signs of forced entry. Investigators say an apparent incident started in the living room and continued outside. Officials say an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. They did not release specifics only saying it was, “a brutal attack.”
2 arrested for racist high school graffiti MERIDIAN — A man and a juvenile have been arrested after authorities say they put racist graffiti on a Meridian High School wall. The Meridian Star reports Meridian Mayor Percy Bland announced during a press conference Monday that they’ve arrested 19-yearold Jordan M. Wolfe and a 16-year-old on multiple offenses, including burglary. The vandals left graffiti at the school Friday night and it was removed the next day. Meridian Police Chief Benny Dubose says a person spotted a man fitting Wolfe’s description spraying graffiti in an underpass. Authorities say Wolfe named his accomplice and admitted to the vandalism. The juvenile is a student at the school but authorities don’t know if Wolfe was a former student. Authorities say more charges may follow. It’s unclear if the two teens have lawyers.

ed after authorities say they shot another teen during a robbery over a drug deal. The Sun Herald reports Jackson County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Casey Baxter says a 16- and 17-year-old were arrested Monday and charged with aggravated assault and theft. Baxter says another 17-year-old was shot in the abdomen and robbed during the attempted drug deal that involved marijuana. The wounded teen’s brother drove him to a hospital. The teen was treated and released. Authorities say they later found marijuana at the scene of the shooting. They say it was thrown from a vehicle. The juveniles will be charged as adults, although their names haven’t been released. It’s unclear if they have an attorney.
Man gets 49 years for hate crime killing 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-year-old 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. “The taking of a human life because a person has a particular gender identity is particularly heinous and cannot be tolerated in an enlightened society,” Guirola said in court in Gulfport. Vallum pleaded guilty to the federal charges in December. He previously pleaded guilty to a state murder charge that led to a separate sentence of life without parole. On Monday, Vallum begged forgiveness from Williamson’s family and friends, though none of them were present — only a few reporters, the judge and Vallum’s father and stepmother. “Every day, I live with the guilt and regret of my actions,” Vallum said. “If I could bring back Mercedes by giving up my life, I would gladly do so.”

NOTEBOOK
Martin Truex Jr. closes out Go Bowling 400 win at Kansas Speedway “It does, I’m not going to lie to you,” he said. “As a racer, you don’t forget. You don’t forget those days that one got away or you screwed up and gave one away or anything like that. You never forget those things. ... “Definitely last year was probably the biggest heartbreaker to have the craziest thing happen that you could ever imagine — an eight-second lead just gone.”

For the past several seasons, Martin Truex Jr. appeared to have a jinx on him when it came to the spring race at Kansas Speedway. But on Saturday night in the Go Bowling 400, Truex made all the right moves and came away with his firstever win at Kansas, his second victory of the season and the ninth of his career. Truex led 104 laps, including the final 19, to get the win over Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch. That reversal of fortune came after last season, when he started on the pole and led 172 laps before a broken bolt hung between the wheel and hub during a pit stop and dropped him out of contention. The year before that, he was poised to win until a late caution flag foiled his run. When he stayed on the track, his challengers, including eventual winner Jimmie Johnson, stopped for fresh rubber and drove away from him on the restart. In 2012, he led 173 laps before finishing second to Denny Hamlin. This year, he motored away from Blaney on a restart with 19 laps to go, then prevailed on four more restarts to take the victory. Truex said in his winner’s interview that the earlier failures made this win seem much sweeter.
Martin Truex Jr. stands atop his No. 78 Toyota in Victory Lane following Saturday’s Go Bowling 400.
This time it was young Blaney — in position to claim his first Cup victory on the same weekend he won his first pole — who didn’t have enough speed at the end to take the win. “[Saturday night] we did everything right,” Truex said. “When the pressure was on, when the money was on the line, we made the right moves, and everything worked out.” Keselowski came back from two laps down to take the runner-up spot. He had to pit under the green flag to have a loose wheel replaced and was also penalized on that stop for driving through too many pit stalls. He said he never really got a chance to show the speed of his No. 2 Ford. “Every time we started to pass cars and cycle up to the front, we had some kind of issue, which was a real bummer to not be able to showcase the strength that we had,” he said. “Toward the end, we were able to get some runs and make the most of it. ... “If it would have just played out normal, I think we might have had a shot at [Truex].” Third-finishing Harvick also had to overcome a mid-race setback. He made a pit stop at Lap 135 under green due to a vibration and lost a lap. “We came back through the field,” he said. “It just didn’t line up for us there at the end.”

Ben Rhodes’ misfortune in Toyota Tundra 250 hands Truck Series victory to Kyle Busch
Kyle Busch, his wife, Samantha, and son, Brexton, celebrate Busch’s win in the Toyota Tundra 250 Friday at Kansas Speedway.
Kyle Busch didn’t do his usual celebratory burnout following his win in Friday night’s Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway. Like nearly everyone else at the speedway, he felt bad for young Ben Rhodes, who at 20 years old had run doorto-door for the lead with the veteran Busch in the closing laps, wrestled the lead from Busch with 18 laps to go and appeared headed to his first career victory in 31 starts. But it wasn’t to be. Apparently, a piece of debris went through the radiator of Rhodes’ No. 27 Toyota, causing the engine to blow just eight laps shy of victory. That left Busch to cruise the rest of the way to score his first truck win of the season and the 47th of his career. “We ran with the best tonight,” Rhodes said. “Our Safelite Tundra had speed all night long. We did everything right, but Ben Rhodes has a curse on his back or something, because something always goes wrong. ... “I was learning from Busch all night long. He’s got more wins than I have in total stock car starts. It’s just crazy because something always goes wrong with our team. We do everything right, we just can never pull one off.”
In his winner’s interview, Busch sympathized with Rhodes, who drove a truck manufactured by a company Busch owns. “This was a great win for us, but really it’s a terrible loss for Ben Rhodes,” Busch said. “He had this race won. I was trying everything I could to catch him and run him back down. ... “He did a phenomenal job. It’s a tough one to lose that way, I know, because I’ve lost them that way as well. But for him to be racing against us and to be doing an awesome job, man, he raced me clean. He did a great job. He got by me. ... It’s cool to see young guys like that have great opportunities and to be fast and to make the most of it.” Busch started 10th, won the first two stages of the race and wound up leading 91 of 167 laps. Johnny Sauter finished second ahead of John Hunter Nemechek, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe. Sauter leads the Truck Series points standings, with Bell two points behind in second place.
NASCAR’s drivers and fans got a sobering reminder Saturday at Kansas Speedway that Initially, Patrick appeared to be angry with Logano when she climbed from her car and racing is still a dangerous sport. made her way to the ambulance after the crash. On Lap 199, Danica Patrick and Joey Logano were racing just outside the top 10 when “When he said he had a failure, I can’t say it made me feel that much better in the what appeared to be a broken brake rotor caused Logano’s car to swerve left and hook moment,” she said. “I am just frustrated for the lack of breaks I get. It seems like every the right rear of Patrick’s car, sending her slamming into the outside wall. time things are going better and something happens, I get crashed or am in a crash.” As Logano and Patrick slid down the wall with flames all around, the oncoming car of Aric Almirola slid into the fray and slammed into Logano’s sliding Ford. The impact caused the rear of Almirola’s No. 43 Ford to sail high into the air before it slammed back onto the track and he began skidding along the outside wall, winding up far ahead of the crashed cars of Patrick and Logano. While most of the immediate attention was focused on Patrick and Logano, it soon became apparent that Almirola got the worst of the incident. The race was red-flagged for nearly 30 minutes while rescue workers cut the top off Almirola’s car, placed him on a backboard and transported him by helicopter to a local hospital. A statement from his Richard Petty Motorsports team said he suffered a compression fracture of his T5 vertebra. He flew to North Carolina on Sunday and was scheduled to see doctors there on Monday. Logano seemed visibly shaken when he spoke to TV reporters after being checked out in the track’s care center. “I’m OK,” he said. “Just saying a lot of prayers for Aric right now. A lot of us took a hard hit.” Logano said he felt something break as he sped off into Turn One, and TV replays showed pieces of his car piercing the hood just before he hit Patrick’s car. “I tried to back it off, but you’re going 215 [miles per hour] and it’s hard to check up,” he Aric Almirola’s No. 43 car lifts into the air after colliding with the No. 22 of Joey Logano next to said. the No. 0 of 'anica 3atricN amid sparNs and Áames Saturday night at Kansas.

Ryan Blaney makes another strong showing at Kansas Dale Earnhardt Jr. long has had an appreciation for the history and heritage of the sport of NASCAR. His tweet on Friday, just after Ryan Blaney delivered the Wood Brothers their first pole since 2004, explained just what it meant to the sport for the Woods, the longest continuously operating team in NASCAR, to be on the pole again. “I’ve become great friends with Leonard Wood and have huge respect for @woodbrothers21. A competitive #21 in @NASCAR is a beautiful thing,” Earnhardt wrote. Becoming competitive again has been an uphill battle for the team, run in the early years by brothers Glen and Leonard Wood and now managed by Glen’s children, Eddie, Len and Kim Wood Hall. In 2009, the team was no longer able to compete for wins and poles, so with the help of Ford Motor Co. and its Motorcraft/Quick Lane division, the Woods cut back to a part-time schedule and began to rebuild. Progress was slow but steady, and there was one big win with Trevor Bayne at the wheel in the 2011 Daytona 500. Then, in 2015, the Woods formed an alliance with Team Penske and secured the services of driver Ryan Blaney and crew chief Jeremy Bullins, along with the use of Penske cars and technology. This season, Blaney and Bullins have shown significant improvement in their second full season together, as evidenced by their run to the pole at Kansas. Prior to last Friday, the team had
started on the outside pole on three occasions, and has shown consistency throughout qualifying. Blaney is the 12th driver to win a pole over the years for the Woods. Team founder Glen Wood won the team’s first pole at Martinsville Speedway on Oct. 12, 1958, and went on to win the team’s next five poles and 14 altogether. Others winning poles for the Woods are David Pearson, Junior Johnson, Dan Gurney, Cale Yarborough, Marvin Panch, A.J. Foyt, Donnie Allison, Neil Bonnett, Buddy Baker and Ricky Rudd. In Saturday’s Go Bowling 400, Blaney won Stage Two and led eight times for 83 laps before fading in the closing laps and finishing fourth. It ended a three-week stretch that had seen him finish outside the top 30 all three times due to a mechanical failure and two crashes. “A good showing, going out there and leading laps and running with some really good cars — that’s where this team deserves to be, and that’s where they hopefully will stay,” Blaney said. “We keep bringing fast cars to the race track like that; you never know when Ryan Blaney pilots the No. 21 maybe one might fall our Ford of Wood Brothers Racing at Kansas on his way to his Àrst way.”

Northeast student-athletes earn degrees Northeast Sports Information
BOONEVILLE — A roup of gifted young men and women have gained the most elite prize that can be attained while attending Northeast Mississippi Community College. Nearly 50 athletes from six of Northeast’s intercollegiate athletic programs qualified to receive their Associate of Arts degrees at the conclusion of the 2017 spring semester. “On behalf of our athletic
department and coaches, I am very proud of the outstanding graduating student-athletes that we have this spring,” said Northeast athletic director Kent Farris. “We wish each of these students further success in their lives. They will always be part of the Tiger family. “This class of graduates verifies the outstanding job that our faculty and athletic staff do in ensuring that our standards are to provide
quality instruction and mentorship in order to be successful in the classroom.” Approximately half of the 43 total athletes that earned their degrees participated during the traditional commencement exercise on Friday inside legendary Bonner Arnold Coliseum. Twenty members of the football team, which claimed its first top-10 finish in school history, were conferred with degrees. That is the highest
number of recipients of any sports program at Northeast. Softball had the highest percentage of student-athletes graduate with seven of its eight eligible sophomores, or roughly 88-percent. Among that group was Mississippi’s regular-season strikeout champion Jessica Boyd. Both the men’s and women’s basketball programs Please see DEGREES | 13A
Coaches eager to see impact of early signing period The Associated Press
Southeastern Conference coaches are eager to see the impact an early signing period will have on recruiting, even though a number of them were against the change. An early signing period received formal approval last week from the Collegiate Commissioners Association. The new plan will allow high school seniors in the 2017-18 school year to sign with col-
leges on Dec. 20-22 as well as during the traditional signing period on the first Wednesday of February. “I’m very interested to see how this plays out because I think we’re dealing in a world we haven’t dealt in,” Georgia’s Kirby Smart said Monday at an SEC coaches teleconference. “When you have that, there are usually things you haven’t thought of, repercussions we haven’t thought of. I’m interested to
see who handles it best.” Smart didn’t say whether he favored or opposed the early signing period, but other coaches have let their positions be known. “It’s something that obviously if I could have voted on it, I would have not voted for that,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. “I think that it just puts a lot of different strain on your staff and what you’re doing, but it may work out to our advantage. ... We have sev-
eral commitments. If we stick with those commitments and they all sign in December, it could be an advantage.” Alabama’s Nick Saban had expressed his opposition to an early signing period in the past, and he noted Monday that it could limit opportunities for prospects who take big steps forward in their development as seniors.

believes the early signing period will “call some people’s bluff both from the players’ side and the school’s side.” McElwain said some prospects might verbally commit to a school simply to try reserving a spot in a class while continuing to look around. McElwain also noted that many schools make flurries of offers early in the recruiting calendar. With the earlier signing period, coaches now will know how seriously to take a prospect’s commitment and recruits will know when an offer is legitimate. “You’ll find out in December if the guy’s committed to you,” South Carolina’s Will Muschamp said. “If he’s not
signing in December, you’d better rethink your numbers at the position or continue to recruit because you’re not really sure if he’s going to sign with you in February.” Mississippi’s Hugh Freeze said he didn’t mind the early signing period but he did oppose another policy change that allows high school juniors to take official visits from April through June. Freeze didn’t like the way the latter change accelerates the recruiting calendar and says recruits now will be making visits before the school knows them particularly well. Arkansas’ Bret Bielema and Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin were among the other coaches to express their concerns about allowing earlier visits.

Annual flowering vincas are excellent landscape choices as they are solid performers for providing hot summer color.
Annual flowering vinca shines in warm weather Now that our gardens and landscapes are heating up, it is the perfect time to plant annual flowering vinca. This beauty provides hot summer color you just can’t beat. Annual flowering vinca is a solid performer in Mississippi gardens, so I always make sure to plant some in my landscape. Botanically speaking, annual flowering vinca is Catharanthus rosea. In garden centers, the pot tags sometimes call it Gary Madagascar periwinkle. I know we all want to Bachman get summer color out as Southern soon as possible, and garGardening den centers oer many selections to tempt us to start planting. But planting too early before temperatures rise can set up the conditions for root disease. Another common cause of failure is wet soil. Annual flowering vinca does not like to grow with wet feet. Some of the very best vinca plantings I have ever seen were growing in raised beds or containers. The foliage of annual flowering vinca has a prominent rib in the middle of the dark-green, glossy leaves. The foliage color makes a great background for the outstanding flower color. These colors range from white to dark red, and some plants have dark or white eyes. Many varieties have upright or spreading growth habits, and new selections are oered every year. Today, I want to tell you about some of my favorites. Annual flowering vincas are excellent landscape choices as they are solid performers for providing hot summer color. Jams ‘N Jellies was selected as an AllAmerica Selections winner in 2012. This variety has flowers that are a deep, dark purple with a velvety appearance. The nearly black flower has a bright white eye. An older selection named a Mississippi Medallion winner in 2007 is the Titan series. Titan has an upright growth habit and makes a statement, with the potential to grow 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide. The 3-inch flowers are the biggest of the annual flowering vincas, and there are 11 flower colors to choose from. I’m really excited about the development of the spreading growth habits of the newer introductions. The colorful, ground-cover mats are always welcome
Need some hot summer color in your flower garden or landscape? Try the flowering vinca. in my landscape. Another I have always loved is the Cora Cascade vinca. These plants have good branching that creates a nice, mounded mass 8 inches tall and up to 36 inches wide. The trailing growth habit is perfect for showing o the big and showy flowers that come in colors of cherry, lilac, peach, blush, polka dot and strawberry. I’ve gotten creative with the Cora Cascade Pink Blush in my landscape by planting it in sconces on my fence. For top landscape performance, always plant in full sun to achieve the best flower color development. To help ensure success, plant in raised beds to increase drainage around the root system. Annual flowering vincas will develop root rot issues in left in wet conditions. Vincas are heavy feeders, so be sure to incorporate a quality, slow-release fertilizer at planting. Monthly feedings with a water-soluble 20-20-20 or 20-10-20 will keep those flowers blooming. Annual flowering vinca are drought tolerant once established, but you should still maintain consistent soil moisture. Always provide supplemental water during the dry periods we have every summer. A layer of mulch is important. Bark mulch is fine, but if you can, use pine straw, as it allows for better airflow and reduces disease problems. Annual flowering vinca’s ability to tolerate hot and dry conditions make these plant good choices for containers. Let the plants with spreading growth habits spill over the edge in hanging baskets. When growing vincas in containers, always use a quality, peat-based potting media that is well drained but maintains adequate moisture. You must feed weekly with watersoluble fertilizer when growing vincas in containers. (Daily Corinthian columnist Gary Bachman works with the MSU Extension Service.)

Know the signs of medicine addiction WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD

PICKLES
Dear Annie: My wife and I have been together for four years, married for one. She’s always been a little absent-minded. At first, it was cute, but then it started to become more of an issue. After we got married and moved in together, I noticed it more. For example, I came home a few times to find the stove on with nothing on it. This concerned me because her faulty short-term memory seemed to be becoming a safety issue. I encouraged her to talk to her doctor about her forgetfulness, thinking it could be caused by a vitamin deficiency. I had no idea that the doctor would end up prescribing her an amphetamine medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It’s helped immensely with the space cadet-like behavior. She is far more efficient and organized. The medication pretty much transformed her into a Type A overnight. But in addition to all these “positive” effects, there are a slew of negative ones. Her personality has changed. No longer is she the sweet, funny and relaxed person I fell in love with. Now she is always laser-focused on her work around the clock and acts cold toward me. Often she stays up all night working. She works from home as a graphic designer, which allows her to get away with
Dear Annie the erratic hours. This has been going on for six months. I’m worried about her health. Two weeks ago, she did mention to me that she might like to try cutting back on taking the medication, but then she was right back to the all-nighters. On the days she doesn’t take it, she’s her sweet old self, but she also sleeps and eats a lot, almost as if she were hibernating. I know it can backfire if you try to force someone to get help that she doesn’t think she needs. What should I do? — Missing My Space Cadet Dear Missing: From the sound of things, your wife may be abusing her medication. Signs of amphetamine addiction include decreased appetite, disturbed sleep patterns, rapid rate of speech, irritability, paranoia and withdrawal from friends and family, among many other undesirable symptoms. It’s crucial that you talk to her as soon as there’s an opportunity to do so while she isn’t on the medication. She made comments about wanting to cut back, so you can use that as
a starting point. Ask how you can support her. Stress that you’re not coming from a place of judgment but rather concerned for her health. The less accusatory your tone the less defensive she’s likely to be. You might go to her next doctor’s appointment with her so the three of you can talk about the situation and develop a better, more sustainable plan. For more help, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s help line, at 800-662HELP. Dear Annie: Could you put something in your wonderful column urging children of all ages to call their parents? I know they don’t realize how important hearing from them is to old parents. My husband and I are in our 80s and housebound. About the only thing we have going each day is anticipating hearing from our kids. If you use this, please don’t print a name. Then every person reading this can think it came from his mom! — Anonymous Dear Anonymous: On behalf of parents everywhere: Children, please call your parents. One day, you won’t be able to, and you’ll wish you’d done so more often while you still could.
