County: Move brick mailboxes

Eave collapses

30% chance of rain

Valid permit: Court sides with Silicon BY JEBB JOHNSTON

A historic downtown Corinth building’s outside rooftop eave crumbled to the ground on Tuesday afternoon. No one was injured when a section of the roof at 501 Cruise Street collapsed at the busy downtown intersection of Cruise and Fillmore streets. At least four vehicles parked along the west side of the building were heavily damaged. Corinth police oﬃcers and fire fighters quickly responded to the scene where bricks continued to fall to the sidewalk for more than 30 minutes. Oﬃcers placed yellow tape around the scene and barricaded each end of the 400 block of Fillmore Street. A crowd of onlookers gathered at both ends of the barricades waiting for the next brick to fall. “It’s sounded like an earthquake,” said Lorie Beth Bobjak, a paralegal for Weeden Law Firm and the only person inside the building when it began to collapse. “I ran

Board member questions rehiring of BHS coach Interim Alcorn County school board member Lamar Walker recently questioned the absence of a long time coach for rehire. On a long list of employee hires and rehires for the 201617 school year, Biggersville High School football coach and teacher Ronnie Lawson was missing. “I didn’t see Ronnie Lawson’s name on this list ... I just wonder why his name isn’t on the list,” said Walker, who noted Kevin Austin’s name did appear on the list. Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell told Walker, “we

Brick-fortified mailbox structures continue to be an issue for Alcorn County as supervisors plan road projects. For the safety of motorists, the Office of State Aid Road Construction prohibits fixed objects constructed close to the road. Members of the Board of Supervisors feel many people simply aren’t aware of the restrictions. The mailbox fortifications are often built to prevent standard breakaway mailboxes from being destroyed by baseball bats. Fourth District Supervisor Steve Glidewell said it’s “a hard conversation to have” when a resident has to be told that a mailbox built at great expense must come down in order for roadwork to proceed. That is the situation the county finds itself in now with planned state aid projects on County Road 400 and County Road 515, where mailboxes need to be removed or moved back from the road. There are four offending structures on Road 400 and one on Road 515. While the state aid office has apparently let some of these situations slide in the past, that is no longer the case. “You conform to their policy or they withhold the money to repair the roads,” said Board President Jimmy Tate Waldon. Glidewell said residents should contact their supervisor for guidance if they plan to build structures at the roadside. “It’s not just mailboxes,” he said. “It applies to any solid obstruction within 10 feet of the edge of the roads, whether it’s a nice gated entrance, whether it’s a mailbox, whether it’s steps

At least four vehicles were heavily damaged by falling debris after the Cruise Street building’s rooftop eave collapsed.

The Mississippi Court of Appeals in a decision handed down Tuesday afternoon upheld a lower court verdict in favor of Mississippi Silicon in Burnsville regarding the validity of its environmental permit. A Tishomingo Chancery Court judge in August 2014 ruled in favor of the industry and the Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board in the suit filed against the two by Globe Metallurgical, Inc., a competitor of Mississippi Silicon. The court found that Globe’s request was untimely, and the court of appeals affirmed. “In essence, Globe is attempting a back-door maneuver to allow itself to be heard,” the written opinion states. “Globe had opportunity to voice its concerns about Mississippi Silicon’s permit. The permit was open for notice and comment for approximately a month before it was issued. Globe failed to make any comments or raise any concerns. After the permit was approved by the permit board, Globe again had time to request a formal hearing. Globe failed to do so. Furthermore, we note that Globe is a sophisticated party and, in all likelihood, applies for permits itself, making it familiar with the rules that apply to the permitting process. As such, the chancery court correctly applied the law, and summary judgment was proper.” Globe, based in Beverly, Ohio, has argued that MDEQ failed to give the public a chance to review the permit application and air quality impact models submitted by Mississippi Silicon and that the plant was, in Please see PERMIT | 5A

Booneville Downtown study funded by grant

Today is Wednesday, May 18, the 139th day of 2016. There are 227 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 18, 1926, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished while visiting a beach in Venice, California. (McPherson reappeared more than a month later, saying she’d escaped after being kidnapped and held for ransom, an account that was received with skepticism.)

On this date: In 1642, the Canadian city of Montreal was founded by French colonists. In 1765, about onefourth of Montreal was destroyed by a fire. In 1896, the Supreme Court, in Plessy v. Ferguson, endorsed “separate but equal” racial segregation, a concept renounced 58 years later in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In 1910, Halley’s Comet passed by earth, brushing it with its tail. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure creating the Tennessee Valley Authority. In 1934, Congress approved, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed, the so-called “Lindbergh Act,” providing for the death penalty in cases of interstate kidnapping. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces finally occupied Monte Cassino in Italy after a four-month struggle with Axis troops. In 1953, Jacqueline Cochran became the first woman to break the sound barrier as she piloted a Canadair F-86 Sabre jet over Rogers Dry Lake, California. In 1969, astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Thomas P. Stafford and John W. Young blasted off aboard Apollo 10 on a mission to orbit the moon. In 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state exploded, leaving 57 people dead or missing.

BOONEVILLE — A grant from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History will bring more of Booneville’s historic treasures into the downtown historic district. MDAH has approved a $1,750 grant to conduct an updated survey of downtown Booneville to determine the structures and area included in the district. The grant comes through the department’s Certified Local Government (CLG) grant program. Booneville was officially approved as a CLG earlier this year. Preservation Commission Chair Diane Garvin said the new survey will update a previous one done in 1996 to reflect changes in the downtown area and expand the district. The original survey failed to include a section of College Street that includes several of the city’s key historic buildings. Located in the area area are the famed Vonn Theater that hosted concerts by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and other legendary performers in the early days of rock and roll as well as the beloved former Sadie’s discount store and others. Garvin recently returned from a workshop in Jackson where she learned about other grant opportunities available and she said the commission is currently working to secure funding for more projects in the future to help enhance and promote the city’s historic district.

Selmer McNairy students join tech program SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy County Schools has over the last two years successfully gotten several students into the Jackson St. (CC) Advanced Maintenance Technician program and encouraged current students to pursue this program. “This year was a banner year for us because we placed seven stu-

dents out of the 20 accepted in the program,” said Ronnie Teague, McNairy County’s Director of College & Career Ready. “Three of the students graduated in 2015 and enrolled in the program at JSCC without an industry assignment, but this year the companies picked them up. We are very proud of their success and wish them the best.” McNairy Central has six of the seven students in the program. The MCHS students and their industry are Clint McMahan-Caristar Group, Caleb CarrollArmstrong Flooring, Austin Lowrance-Novalex/ Durabag, John Hunter Powers-Gerdau, Briley Taylor-Henderson Stamping, and Bryce Youngerman-Toyota Bodine. The Adamsville student in the program is Andrew Petit-Lyondell Basell. The AMT Co-op blends classroom instruction with on-site manufacturing experience at various West Tennessee industry partners. Classes will be offered at Jackson St. (CC) in subjects such as electricity, fluid power, mechanics, PLCs, and robotics. Upon completion of the program, graduates will earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Industrial Technology. “The students will attend two days of classroom instruction per week, including TEAM meetings and maintain a “C” or higher in all classes to remain eligible for the AMT Co-op,” said Teague. Each student will work three eight hour days a week earning a wage starting at $12 per hour, potentially increasing up to $14 per hour. A student can earn over two years, as much as $21,840 to cover educational expenses, making the education debt free. Estimated cost of the degree is $13,000 and there are other potential grants, scholarships, and other financial aid options available. “A graduate of the AMT Co-op will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree that includes a cutting edge Industrial Technology

curriculum,” commented Teague. “They will get two years of paid working co-op experience that will include highly sought after business principles and best practices of world class manufacturers.”

Tupelo Cab driver killed, robbed, cab stolen TUPELO — Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson says deputies are investigating the death of a cab driver who was shot in the head and robbed. Coroner Carolyn Green identifies him as 55-year-old Charles Williams of Tupelo. Johnson tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that two motorcyclists called 911 after finding Williams’ body about 10 p.m. Friday on a road just south of the Tupelo city limits. He says investigators were able to find the person who called for a ride about 9:30 p.m. Friday, and an interview with that person led to an investigation of someone else. He wouldn’t give details. Green said the body was sent Monday for autopsy.

Tupelo TCT will present trivia competition TUPELO — TCT Off Broadway will present School’s Out Trivia Competition and an evening of Music on Thursday, May 26 at 213 East Franklin. The doors will open at 7 p.m. and trivia begins at 7:30 p.m. with teams of 5 to 10 people. A prize will be awarded to winning team and for best team name. Tickets are $15 and include one free drink. Tables may be reserved by teams by calling 662844-1935.

Corinth, Miss.

Grim choices We must frankly face the fact that the front runners in both political parties represent a new low, at a time of domestic polarization and unprecedented nuclear dangers internationally. This year’s Thomas general election will oﬀer a Sowell choice between a thoroughly corrupt liar and an utterly irColumnist responsible egomaniac. The Republican establishment, whose serial betrayals of their supporters created the setting for a Donald Trump to arise, must now decide how best to deal with the apparent inevitability of his candidacy. Choosing among various unpalatable options may require some tricky maneuvering on their part, but they have been used to tricky maneuvering before, which is how they find themselves in this predicament in the first place. Apparently some Republican leaders have opted to try to make the best of a bad situation by creating at least the illusion of party “unity” going into this year’s elections. But the toxic image of Donald Trump can follow the Republicans repeatedly in future elections. The careers of young Republicans are especially at risk of acquiring an indelible stain by being associated with Trump, much as Marco Rubio may never live down his association with Senator Chuck Schumer’s attempt to create bipartisan amnesty. The smart money says that, when all is said and done, Republican voters are going to have to vote for Trump. If they stay home, that is the same as voting for Hillary Clinton. As former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich put it, Hillary Clinton in the White House means a Supreme Court packed with justices who will undermine the Constitution for decades to come. He has a point – but not necessarily a decisive point. Seeing the freedom for which generations of Americans have fought and died eroded away by judicial sophistry in the coming years is certainly a grim prospect. But nuclear annihilation is one of the few prospects that are even worse – and a man with a runaway egomania may not have the finesse or the depth to steer through troubled international waters that include a nuclear Iran and a nuclear North Korea. If a man in his sixties has not yet matured, he is unlikely to grow up in his seventies. This is not a question about whether Donald Trump is as evil as Hillary Clinton. He may well be the proverbial “lesser of the two evils” in that sense, and yet be the more dangerous President to have in the White House. Some have argued that a President Trump could surround himself with experienced and savvy advisers to cover for his own shallow understanding of many national and international issues. But Barack Obama has already shown us that a headstrong egomaniac can ignore even unanimous advice from military advisers. That is how he pulled troops out of Iraq and set the stage for ISIS. Some people are said to be thinking about a third-party candidate. Desperate times may call for desperate measures. But if such a desperate choice is made, a third party has virtually no chance of electing its candidate. The most a third party could hope for would be to take enough votes from both Democrats and Republicans to deny either party’s candidate a victory in the Electoral College. That would throw the election of the president p into the House of Representatives. No one knows who would then become President. But it would be hard to find someone worse than either Hillary or Trump. The very fact that we are left with such desperate options is not only a rebuke to the professional politicians, but also a painful revelation about the voting public. Immediately after electing a President with virtually no track record, on the basis of rhetoric and symbolism, and seeing disaster after disaster during his administration, many are now prepared to do the same thing again. More than two centuries ago, Thomas Jefferson said, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” If so, can people who cannot be bothered to look up from their electronic devices expect to remain a free people? (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Prayer for today Almighty God, help me to aspire, that my life may tend toward the ideal. May I be persuaded that I cannot be that which I do not possess, nor can I live in that which I do not know. Help me to put the best in what I do, that I may not feel I have failed, even though it may not seem to be a success. Amen.

A verse to share “Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.” Ecclesiastes 4:6

System will down ticket impacts STARKVILLE — The evolution of presidential and congressional politics over the last decade in the U.S. and the growing impacts that evolution is having in state politics in Mississippi has led me to revisit the writings of French sociologist, law professor and member of the European Parliament the late Maurice Duverger, who died in 2014 at the age of 97. While there are any number of “laws” in the natural sciences that are accepted – Newton’s Law of Gravity, the Zeroeth Law of Thermodynamics, etc. – the general acceptance of such “laws” in the social sciences are far less common. But Duverger is credited with developing what is one of the few such “laws” and it bears his name. “Duverger’s Law” seeks to define the relationship between number of political parties in a country and that same country’s electoral system. Duverger argued that “first past the post” systems like that in the U.S. – a single ballot, simple majority system like our general elections – tends to favor a two-party system while second ballot simple majority systems that feature proportional representation for political parties in the elec-

toral system tend to favor multiple parties. For example, the U.S. Congress esSid Salter sentially is comprised of Columnist Republicans and Democrats. Two of 100 U.S. senators are members of third parties or independent. The U.S. House has no third party or independent members, but has one vacancy. By contrast, the German Bundestag or lower house of parliament has 630 members divided currently among five parties – the Christian Democratic Union (CDU or moderate conservatives, center right), the Christian Social Union (CSU or conservatives, center right), the Social Democratic Party (SPD or social democracy, center left), The Left (Democratic socialism, the far left), and Alliance 90/The Greens (Green politics, center left). With 503 seats, the CDU, CSU and SPD comprise the majority coalition or the parties controlling government in Germany while The Left and Alliance 90/ The Greens comprise the opposition or the minority. Duverger’s proportional

representation is personified in this power-sharing arrangement in an electoral system that divides power and representation based on the share of support earned by individual parties in the elections. At any given time, there are another half-dozen or more political parties active in Germany and they are everything from the far right Neo-Nazis in the NDP or even the apolitical/satirical Die Partei (The Party). There is a political party in Germany, it seems, for almost every flavor of political identification along the political spectrum. As we watch the 2016 primaries evolve in the U.S., the fact is that an avowed Socialist in Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is giving the traditional Democrat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fits in a primary that she had every conceivable advantage to win. And on the Republican side, a billionaire reality TV star blew both establishment Republicans and Tea Party favorites out of the race as Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee. So the question remains, can our traditional two-party system survive in a political environment where

division – even in the two historically dominant political parties that enjoy an electoral structure, according to Duverger’s Law, that should nurture and protect a two-party system? At the state level, the monolithic, all-powerful Democratic Party of my childhood in Mississippi has a half-century later been replaced by a monolithic, allpowerful Republican Party. As the Democrats found in our state, monolithic control comes with a political price for today’s Republicans. Unless the majority can eﬀectively govern, dissent multiples and there is partisan migration. The point is, the labels “Democrat” and “Republican” are no longer wholly descriptive. Are coalition governments in our future as a nation? New questions loom. For the GOP, establishment or Tea Party or Trump Train? For Democrats, rural conservative or suburban progressive or Feeling the Bern? Are the widenings of the political spectrums a passing fad or a harbinger of real change? Stay tuned. It’s getting interesting and all of us are in unchartered political waters. (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)

Is Mitt Romney on a suicide mission? “It’s a suicide mission,” said the Republican Party Chairman. Reince Priebus was commenting on a Washington Post story about Mitt Romney and William Kristol’s plot to recruit a third-party conservative candidate to sink Donald Trump. Several big-name Republican “consultants” and “strategists” are said to be on board. Understandably so, given the bucks involved. With the kind of cash that sloshes around in a presidential campaign, there should be no shortage of super PAC parasites at the enlistment oﬃce. Still missing, however, is the kamikaze pilot who gets just enough fuel to make it out to the fleet. Eﬀorts to recruit Sen. Ben Sasse, loudest of the “Never Trump” leaders, appear to have foundered. Second thoughts set in this weekend when the Nebraska State Republican Convention voted thunderously to chastise Sasse for persisting in his anti-Trump antics, now that the Republican nominee has been decided by the voters. Among others sounded out for the mission are exSen. Tom Coburn of Okla-

homa, retired Marine Corps General James Mattis, former Secretary of State Pat Condoleezza Buchanan Rice, and Mark Cuban Columnist of the Dallas Mavericks. All have begged oﬀ. Apparently, Romney, the Republican Party’s 2012 nominee, personally sounded out both Sasse and Gov. John Kasich, who will be hosting the Cleveland Convention where the coronation of Trump is to be held. How Kasich could expect to beat Trump in November, when he lost every state primary to Trump, save his own, is unexplained. And, indeed, Romney’s recruitment of Kasich raises a question. If Romney believes that Trump is an unacceptable nominee and would be an intolerable president, and that Republicans have a moral obligation to prevent this, why does Romney not man up and take on the assignment himself? Now, admittedly, Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, where Romney attended,

does not have a long tradition of producing suicide bombers. Yet, Romney is asking others to undertake a mission that will kill their careers and make them pariahs in their party, but will not do it himself. His father shared Romney’s mindset: If the voters have made a mistake, you are not obligated to support it. Just days after Sen. Barry Goldwater locked up the Republican nomination in the California primary, Gov. George Romney was at the Cleveland governors conference plotting to stop him. Richard Nixon arrived to encourage Romney to step out onto the tracks in front of the Goldwater express. Romney thought better of taking Nixon’s counsel. But he did join Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in denouncing his own party for coddling extremists, and refused to endorse Goldwater, as son Mitt is refusing to endorse Trump. Son Mitt, however, is pushing others into doing what he will not do. Why is Priebus right when he calls the entry of a thirdparty conservative in the presidential race a “suicide mission”? Such a candidate would

siphon oﬀ votes that would otherwise go to Trump, bring down the ticket, and result in Hillary Clinton becoming the 45th president. That would mean the next three justices on the Supreme Court would be in the tradition of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. And that would mean Roe v. Wade would never be overturned, aﬃrmative action would be forever, and the social revolution that declared samesex marriage a constitutional right would roll on. A Clinton presidency would also mean Obamacare is forever. What the Never Trump folks refuse to face is this transparent reality: Either Trump or Clinton is going to be the next president.

Highway 45 wreck One person was airlifted with unknown injuries from the scene of a two-vehicle wreck on U.S. Highway 45 just outside the city limits on Tuesday. The wreck happened around noon near the Highway 45 Truck Stop and involved a Oldsmobile sedan and a Chevrolet truck pulling a trailer with a Bobcat tractor on board. The wreck slowed south bound traffic for several hours. Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol, Biggersville Fire and Recuse and Magnolia EMS responded. No names have been released at this time.

Coroner names 4 who died in plane crash Associated Press

TUPELO — A plane that crashed in Mississippi dropped exhaust system parts on a runway as it was taking oﬀ, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator said Tuesday. Millicent Hoidal said debris was recovered when the runway at Tupelo Regional Airport was swept after the Monday crash that killed four Texans. She said the pilot, Henry “Jack” Jackson, radioed the airport’s tower twice seeking to return, reporting smoke in the cockpit. He had been cleared to land when the plane crashed about a half-mile north of the airport. Hoidal said investigators will finish examining the burned debris at the site Tuesday and remove it for further examination elsewhere. Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green said the

dead include Jackson, 75, and his wife, 70-yearold Gwynn Groggel. Another married couple, 69-year-old Charles Torti and 59-year-old Carrie Torti, also died. All were residents of Kerrville, Texas. Green said she identified the victims by interviewing family members and checking a flight manifest. She said the state crime lab is trying to verify the identity of each body using dental records. The bodies were badly burned in a fire after the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza registered to Jackson and Groggel crashed just after takeoﬀ Monday. The plane was scheduled to fly to Charlottesville, Virginia. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit before the crash. The FAA and the Na-

tional Transportation Safety Board are investigating. Jackson was a professor of information technology at Schreiner University in Kerrville, and Charles Torti had recently retired as a professor of business. The university plans a Thursday prayer service. “They were good people, good friends and key members of our campus community,” Schreiner President Tim Summerlin said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to their families.” Groggel co-owned a yoga studio in Kerrville. The Texas Wing of the Civil Air Patrol said Jackson and Groggel had been members of the volunteer group, which flies search-and-rescue and other emergency missions, since 1987. The group said Jackson and Groggel helped found a Civil Air Patrol squadron in Kerrville in the 1990s

and worked with a yearly search and rescue exercise in Alpine, Texas. Jackson was a vice commander of the Texas Wing from 2005 to 2015.

Gospel Tabernacle is bringing the Power Conference to the Crossroads Arena for a second straight year. The 17th annual event will be held at 7 p.m. on June 8-10. A pair of day sessions — June 9-10 — are set for 10 a.m. The Rev. Doug Klinedinst and the Rev. Wayne Huntley will be the featured speakers. “The conference will bring people from all over the southeast to the city,” said Gospel Tabernacle pastor Josh Hodum. “It was a great success last year.” Organizers made the move to the arena in 2015. “We outgrew the Corinth Coliseum,” added Hodum. Gospel Tabernacle is one of six churches involved in sponsoring the annual event. Emmanuel’s Tabernacle, Mt. Olive Church of God, Cornerstone Church, Decaturville Pentecostal Church and Shannon CJC are the other sponsors. “It has continually grown,” said Hodum. Around 1,000 attended last year compared to 850 in 2014. About 800 attended in both 2012 and 2013. “We have learned a lot

in 17 years and are still learning,” said Hodum. Klinedinst entered the ministry in 1985 at the age of 20 years old. His responsibilities were the church newsletter publisher, drummer outreach director, youth leader and pastors assistant. He possessed a passion for God and willingness to serve his pastor which caused him to find favor with the Lord. Klinedinst married Patricia Windsor in June 1985. They worked together in their home church the Apostolic Lighthouse under their pastor, the Rev. M.W Mangold, until they stepped out by faith into full time evangelizing in 1988. Huntley is senior pastor of Temple of Pentecost in Raleigh, N.C. He first came to the church in 1978 after evangelizing for seven years across the United States. Huntley attended Texas Bible College for three years prior to an assistant to Bro. O.R. Fauss at Bethel Tabernacle in Houston, Texas. Huntley is married to Patsy Landtroop.

that come out on the side of the road — anything that somebody could hit.” County Road 400 is the largest chip seal project in the program of work the county recently submitted to state aid, with 6.5 miles. Road 515 is to have re-striping on 5.4 miles. In other business Monday, resident Scott Monroe inquired about an application for ad valorem tax exemption from Caterpillar. The

request is for a 10-year exemption on property with a true value of $10,045,461. Chancery Clerk Greg Younger said it gives the company exemption on about half of the total millage rate. “State law gives them the ability to apply every year for their new equipment purchases that were made in the prior year,” he said. “It’s standard practice in almost all counties that you approve their exemptions on an ongoing basis.” The exemption will translate

into about $43,697 in real dollars not coming to the county, he said. “Those exemptions are important for us to keep the manufacturing jobs we have here,” said Alliance President Gary Chandler. Monroe has been reviewing the county’s audit reports. “I wouldn’t ask these kind of questions if the county was running a budget surplus every year … It’s motivated by the fact that we’ve been spending more than we’ve been bringing in,” he said.

The parent, Eric Huggins, said there had been a lot of focus on finding a new football coach and he didn’t understand why. “Coach Lawson has been the coach for the last 14 years. He has stuck with the program through the ups and downs ... the kids love him, the parents love him and building a program is number one (for him),” Huggins told the board in April. Huggins said he had addressed his concerns with Mitchell and BHS Principal Chad Lindamood. In other district news: • Mitchell updated the board on the Alcorn Central football field bleacher project. The board approved the $17,000 improvements to the aging bleachers in April. Mitchell said he wanted to use steel to replace all the wood boards on the bleachers. Last week, he said the project

was going as expected. “Vo-tech students have helped us by wielding the bleacher boards in place and we already have one of about six sections complete,” said Mitchell. An engineer will sign off on the improvements before the new bleachers are ready for use this fall. • The board approved the 201617 salary and supplement pay scales for teachers, administrators and support staff. District accountant Kimberly Woodard said all employees, excluding those in the district office, are now on pay scales. • Board members approved the school district’s hosting of the 3rd annual Summer Feeding Program. Food Service Director Peggie Bundy said the program will happen during the month of June on the campuses of Kossuth and Alcorn Central elementary schools. • Three students were given

the OK by the board to leave the Alcorn School District as out-ofdistrict student releases. Two students will head from Alcorn to the Booneville School District, while one student will exit Alcorn for the Corinth School District. One student was granted entrance to Alcorn from Hardeman County Schools. That student will attend Kossuth Elementary School. Five students were approved for in-district transfers, as well. Three students will leave Rienzi Elementary School and head to Kossuth, one student will exit Alcorn Central Elementary School for Kossuth and two students will leave Biggersville Elementary School -- one heading to Kossuth and the other to Alcorn Central. • The board also accepted several technology donations this month. Cortelco donated a MicroServer, two keyboards, six mice, three hard drives and one Acer monitor.

Weeden said he did not believe there was any damage done inside his oﬃce, which is located on the first floor of the threefloor structure. Apart-

ments are located on the two top floors. Corinth Building Inspector Greg Tyson and several fire fighters remained on top of the building for several hours. The crew knocked oﬀ the upper, outside eave portion of not only Weeden’s building, but also several buildings along Cruise Street, including the one housing Avectus Healthcare Solutions. Avectus employees were sent home early. Weeden’s building is owned by Tim Smith. Oﬃcials are unknown exactly what caused the building’s roof eave to collapse. No other buildings in the area had noticeable damage.

Enforcement of part of gun law stopped WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Washington halted enforcement of a portion of the city’s strict gun law Tuesday in a ruling that conflicts with another judge’s assessment of the law earlier this year and sets up two competing views for a higher court. U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon ruled Tuesday that a section of the city’s law that requires people who want to carry a gun in public to show a “good reason to fear injury” or another “proper reason” to carry the weapon “likely places an unconstitutional burden” on citizens’ right to bear arms. Leon’s decision to grant a preliminary injunction stands in contrast to a ruling by his colleague, U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who sided with the city in a separate dispute earlier this year and declined to issue a preliminary injunction. Kollar-Kotelly said that opponents had not shown that their lawsuit was likely to be successful, leading her to deny the request for a preliminary injunction. She also noted that appeals courts in other parts of the country had approved of laws in New York, New Jersey and Maryland that are similar to the District of Columbia’s.

Gov. Deal criticizes transgender order ATLANTA — Georgia’s governor and other statewide leaders on Tuesday criticized the Obama administration’s recent directive on transgender students as an abuse of federal authority. But in his first comments on the issue since Friday’s directive, Republican Gov. Nathan Deal stopped short of pledging legal action, a step demanded by GOP state senators objecting to the guidance that transgender students at public schools must be allowed to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity. Senators wrote a letter to Deal this week calling for Georgia to join legal challenges over transgender students’ access to bathrooms at public schools and defend any school district sued individually over the issue. The state’s Republican attorney general, Sam Olens, also made no mention of legal action in a written statement

issued Tuesday. Robbie Medwed, education director for the faith-based LGBT advocacy organization Southern Jewish Resource Network, called the mounting opposition from Georgia Republicans leaders “really disappointing.” “The directive letter outlines best practices from across the country,” Medwed said. “Far more important than what the governor says or what the president says are the actual facts of the situation: that transgender kids and all kids are safer when transgender kids are treated with respect.”

Senate passes bill amid Saudi threats WASHINGTON — The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, rejecting the fierce objections of a U.S. ally and setting Congress on a collision course with the Obama administration. The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, approved by voice vote, had triggered a threat from Riyadh to pull billions of dollars from the U.S. economy if the bill is enacted. The legislation, sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., gives victims’ families the right to sue in U.S. court for any role that elements of the Saudi government may have played in the 2001 attacks that killed thousands in New York, the Washington, D.C., area and Pennsylvania. The House still must act on the legislation. Relatives of Sept. 11 victims have urged the Obama administration to declassify and release U.S. intelligence that allegedly discusses

Affidavit: SeaWorld staffer stole funds ORLANDO, Fla. — A SeaWorld supervisor facing “uncontrollable debt” has been charged with stealing as much as $116,000 from the company’s Aquatica water park in Orlando. Lisa Olivardia had worked for SeaWorld for almost 30 years. Now she’s free on $105,000 bond after her arrest Saturday on charges of grand theft and scheme to defraud. An Orange County Sheriff’s investigation found that Olivardia voided ticket sales and pocketed the money while working in the guest relations department. She also took money from the cash drawers of other employees while they were on breaks, according to the sheriff’s affidavit. Olivardia, 50, was caught last November and fired after a company investigator saw her making the voids on surveillance video, the affidavit said. Between 2013 and 2015 alone, she voided between $55,000 and $75,000 worth of tickets each year, about triple the rate of her coworkers, and would hide the cash in white envelopes in her pockets, the affidavit said.

possible Saudi involvement in the attacks. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir denied earlier this month that the kingdom made any threats over the bill. He said Riyadh had warned investor confidence in the U.S. would shrink if the bill became law. “In fact what they (Congress) are doing is stripping the principle of sovereign immunities, which would turn the world for international law into the law of the jungle,” Al-Jubeir said in a May 3 statement.

Priest gets 10 years on fondling charge JACKSON — A Roman Catholic priest who pleaded guilty to fondling a boy has been sentenced to 10 years in a Mississippi prison, followed by deportation to Mexico. The Rev. Jose Vazquez was ordered to serve the sentence without possibility of parole. Jones County Circuit Judge Dal Williamson also ordered that Vazquez serve an additional five years in prison if he is caught re-entering the United States after he’s deported. Vazquez, 37, was arrested in September after a man reported inappropriate behavior between his 12-year-old son and the priest. “This behavior is reprehensible and will not be tolerated. We continue to be saddened by his actions and for his victim,” the Biloxi diocese said in a statement. “When first notified about the accusation, diocesan officials cooperated fully with civil authorities, and the priest was immediately suspended from all ministry and removed as a pastor.”

Bryant vetoes bill on education jobs JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has vetoed a bill that would have given the state Department of Education one more year of flexibility in how it fills some jobs and grants pay raises to some employees. Bryant wrote in his veto message Friday that since the depart-

ment was given flexibility on jobs starting in July 2014, it has given 331 raises to 247 employees. “The Mississippi Department of Education appears to have increased the overall cost of its administrative functions through handsome raises for existing employees and high salaries for new employees,” Bryant wrote in striking down House Bill 199 . Bryant said the department hired 203 new employees and set salaries as high as $195,000, although he didn’t say which positions are paid that much. However, the department issued a statement Monday saying 323 employees received a pay raise since July 2014, and 227 of those raises were mandated by lawmakers. The list of mandated raises included teachers at the schools for the blind and deaf, the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science and the Mississippi School of the

Arts. It also included pay increases for teachers who had earned a higher level of education, for employees earning less than $30,000 a year and for school attendance officers.

Deer poacher fined, loses hunting rights JACKSON — A 49-yearold Mississippi man found guilty of five counts of shooting deer with the aid of a light has been ordered to pay over $11,000 in fines by a Tunica County judge. The Clarion-Ledger reports Donald Hensley, of Hernando, was found guilty last week. In addition to the fines, Hensley is under four months of house arrest and lost hunting privileges through 2019. Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks Law Enforcement Bureau chief Col. Steve Adcock said Hensley was arrested during the Mississippi River flood earlier this year.
