Sheriff’s office investigates shooting BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Sheriﬀ’s Oﬃce is investigating a bizarre turn of events Friday afternoon when two men opened fire with a rifle and shotgun on a house in southeast Alcorn County.

Two shooting suspects and the driver of what appeared to be the getaway vehicle were apprehended shortly after the shooting by sheriﬀ’s deputies. The three suspects, described as white men ages 18-21, remain behind bars Saturday in

the Alcorn County Jail pending charges, Alcorn County Sheriﬀ Ben Caldwell told the Daily Corinthian. “I can’t release their identity at this time,” said Caldwell. “We do expect charges to be filed in the case.”

‘A love for Corinth’

There were no injures and the motive has not been determined, said the sheriﬀ. The ordeal unfolded about 4 p.m. Friday at a house on Alcorn County Road 435 described as the Hurricane Creek community east of Rienzi when

Across the Region Selmer Fire causes damage to Mexican restaurant

Today is Sunday, May 28, the 148th day of 2017. There are 217 days left in the year.

SELMER, Tenn. — A Saturday afternoon fire did extensive damage to the Los Aztecas Mexican Restaurant. The fire happened around 2:15 p.m. Saturday at the restaurant located on Mulberry Avenue. Multiple fire units responded to the scene of the fire that originated at the back of the restaurant. The City of Selmer Fire Department, two tankers from the Eastview Fire Department, the McNairy County Fire Department, McNairy County Sheriff’s Department, and the Selmer Police Department all responded to the fire scene.

Today’s Highlight in History On May 28, 1977, 165 people were killed when fire raced through the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky. (Investigators cited faulty electrical wiring, fire safety code violations and overcrowding as reasons for the disaster.)

On this date In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn valid. In 1892, the Sierra Club was organized in San Francisco. In 1912, the Senate Commerce Committee issued its report on the Titanic disaster that cited a “state of absolute unpreparedness,” improperly tested safety equipment and an “indifference to danger” as some of the causes of an “unnecessary tragedy.” In 1929, the first allcolor talking picture, “On with the Show!” produced by Warner Bros., opened in New York. In 1934, the Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne — were born to Elzire Dionne at the family farm in Ontario, Canada. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed a button in Washington signaling that vehicular traffic could begin crossing the just-opened Golden Gate Bridge in California. In 1940, during World War II, the Belgian army surrendered to invading German forces.

Booneville Booneville police make multiple felony arrests BOONEVILLE — Recent felony arrests made by the Booneville Police Department include: • Jason Shonta Bell, 36, of Holly Drive, Baldwyn, possession of crack cocaine. Bell was arrested April 22 after a traffic stop for careless driving on MLK Drive in Booneville. • Tray E. Hall, 21, of 280 Hwy. 371, Marietta, was charged with burglary and larceny of an automobile.

FLORENCE, Ala. — The T-H Marine Bass Fishing League (BFL) is heading to Florence, Ala. June 1-3 for the 34th annual BFL All-American on Pickwick Lake, when 98 of the best boaters and co-anglers from across the 24-division BFL circuit will cast for a cash prize of up to $120,000 in the Boater Division and $60,000 in the Co-angler Division. In addition to the six-figure payday, the top boater will receive an invitation to compete for bass fishing’s most coveted prize – the Forrest Wood Cup – held Aug. 11-13 on Lake Murray in Columbia, South Carolina. “It’s going to be really good tournament – Pickwick Lake is

one of the best fisheries in the Tennessee River system,” said Quaker State pro Scott Canterbury of Odenville, Alabama, an eight-time Forrest Wood Cup qualifier. “The fish are going to be just getting out on the ledges so they haven’t been pressured and will be easy to catch. Those schools will be really big – some of the guys will likely be able to catch 50 bass off of one spot. “There also a lot of smaller areas where you only catch five or six fish from, but they weigh a bit more,” continued Canterbury. “This tournament could be won in the upriver current near the dam, down in the mid-lake eelgrass, or out on the ledges. It’s going to come down to who can get that 6- or 7-pounder to bite.” Canterbury said swimbaits will be favored in this event, as well as big crankbaits and spoons on the ledges. “When we competed there on Tour in 2016, Buddy Gross won it using a hair jig in eelgrass, so look for that,” said Canterbury. “Everyone was on the lower end on the ledges, while he hit areas mid-lake. Spinnerbaits may also be a player in the eelgrass, but it’s the tail-end of the shad spawn so we’ll see.” The Alabama veteran said a three-day cumulative catch of 73 pounds should be enough to win it all. “A 10-pounder could be

caught any day,” said Canterbury. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see some 25- to 30-pound limits come in – the lake has been fishing that well that past couple of years.” Competitors will take off from McFarland Park located at 200 Jim Spain Drive in Florence at 7 a.m. CDT each morning. Weighins each day will be held at McFarland Park, and will begin at 3:30 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public. The 2017 BFL All-American on Pickwick Lake is being hosted by the Florence/Lauderdale Tourism Bureau. Television coverage of the BFL All-American at Pickwick Lake will premiere in highdefinition (HD) on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) Oct. 11 from Noon-1 p.m. EDT. The Emmy-nominated “FLW” television show airs on NBCSN, the Pursuit Channel and the World Fishing Network and is broadcast to more than 564 million households worldwide, making it the most widely distributed weekly outdoors-sports television show in the world.

Lowery lived only one block from the scene of the shooting. He is charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the death of Keiva Jones, 29, and the wounding of her boyfriend. When St. Louis police arrived at the scene of the shooting, they discovered a woman had been wounded. She was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The second shooting took place 10 minutes after the Jones’ murder at a Conoco gas station parking lot in the 3600 block of Dunn Road around 8:40 a.m. Thursday. Andre Jones, 28, of

the 1600 block of Hudson Road in Dellwood, Mo., was the second fatality. Lowery has been charged in Selmer with resisting arrest and indecent exposure. Prior to his arrest in Selmer, he had been last spotted at an ice cream shop in New Haven, Mo., around noon Thursday. Lowery had then traveled around 300 miles to Selmer. His criminal history includes two pending 2016 counts of domestic assault — one felony, one misdemeanor — in St. Louis Circuit Court. Just four days after his Feb. 10 release from jail, St. Louis

Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer issued a warrant for Lowery’s failure to appear in court and increased his bail to $25,000 cash after Lowery failed to get a court-ordered GPS. Lowery also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor marijuana possession in the city in 2001, 2004 and 2007. He got a year’s probation for the most recent case; 30 days in jail in the 2001 case and 60 days in jail for the 2004 case. He also has pending 2015 cases in Scott County, Mo., for drug distribution, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and speeding. He posted bail in 2015 and was released.

Hall is accused of taking a Glock pistol from a vehicle at 104 Tidwell Drive April 20. The pistol was recovered. His bond was set at $5,000. • Shavorra Q. Osborn, 22, of 117 Briarwood Circle, Tupelo, was charged with one count felony false pretense. Osborn is accused of using a Direct Express card in the amount of $829.46 on Oct. 3, 2016, without the owner’s permission. Her bond was set at $3,000.

“He has been cooperative since the arrest,” said McNairy County Sheriﬀ Guy Buck. “We are waiting on him to decide whether he will waive extradition to Missouri.” If Lowery chooses to not waive his extradition, there will be a hearing before McNairy County Circuit Judge Weber McCraw to determine the extradition. Prosecutors in St. Louis have filed a murder charge against him after he allegedly murdered a woman and shot a man in the Baden community at the edge of St. Louis.

Education funding case faces long odds Former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove made a good case for the Mississippi Supreme Court to mandate full funding of the adequate education formula. But it does not seem good enough for the justices to agree. Musgrove, who as lieutenant governor played a key role in getting the Mississippi Adequate Education Act passed into law, went to court on behalf of 21 school districts who wanted $236 million the state underfunded them from 2010-15. But the stakes are much higher than $236 million. If the Supreme Court ruled that the state owed those districts the money, it follows that other districts would expect their extra money, too. This would be a $1.4 billion mandate. Musgrove told the Supreme Court that the 1997 MAEP law requires full funding of the formula — something lawmakers have done only twice in 20 years. He further noted that the Mississippi Constitution says the state “shall” provide for the establishment and maintenance of free public schools. The justices asked questions that went right to the flaws in this argument. One noted that the Constitution’s requirement for a free public school system is based on “such conditions and limitations as the Legislature may prescribe.” This language would seem to override any full-funding mandate in the MAEP law. Another justice asked whether it’s proper for the Supreme Court to get involved in the allocation of state spending — a task that is clearly the responsibility of the legislative branch, and an argument that ought to be the main reason the Supreme Court rules against Musgrove. It’s worth noting that the state’s defense, made by an assistant attorney general, was no more compelling than Musgrove’s. The assistant AG said the MAEP law is an aspirational goal, but each Legislature can ignore the formula if it chooses. He did make a better point when he said the education formula does not reduce the Legislature’s discretion to a rubber stamp. In the big picture, education has fared pretty well with the Legislature during a very trying decade for the Mississippi economy. In the last few years, education spending has actually increased by small amounts. Perhaps these increases only have allowed schools to keep up with inflation, but it’s a lot better than many other agencies have fared. Last week’s announcement of 75 layoﬀs at the state Forestry Commission is just one example. It’s also worth noting that the state already spends 39 percent of its general fund on education. This is at a time when there are plenty of competing and expensive needs, such as Medicaid, highway repairs and mental health. No one should fault Musgrove’s clients, the school districts, for trying to get the money they believe they are due. But the Legislature repeatedly has weighed the competing interests and chosen not to fully fund the education formula. Musgrove did not make the required compelling case that the Legislature’s decision is in violation of the law. It will be a true surprise if the Supreme Court agrees with him.

Terrorism’s ‘Groundhog Day’ scenario The terrorism scenario is always the same. Events repeat themselves, like in the film “Groundhog Day.” First the video of screaming innocents, as in Manchester, England, where an Islamist detonated a suicide bomb at an Ariana Grande concert, killing at least 22 people, many of them children, and wounding dozens of others. Then, politicians condemn the attack and pledge “solidarity,” thoughts and prayers. These are followed by an increased police presence -- or in Manchester’s case heavily armed troops in the streets -- as if afterthe-fact toughness can rewind the tape. Following that come the flowers, candlelight vigils and songs and signs about love triumphing over hate, a sentiment clearly not shared by the enemies of modernity. None of this twaddle happened after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The reaction to that horrific event, as well as the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks, was quite diﬀerent. Various media reports in the UK say the Manches-

ter suicide bomber was known to security services. Salman Abedi, 22, had visited Cal Libya and Thomas likely developed connecColumnist tions with al-Qaida and Islamic State in the country from which his parents had emigrated. Abedi was born in Manchester. A school friend told The London Times that Abedi visited Libya as recently as three weeks ago. Other classmates also contacted security services about Abedi. Even his own mother, according to the Daily Mail, “told authorities that her son had been radicalized.” Most disturbing was a comment by the imam at the local Didsbury mosque, a place of worship, which, according to the Daily Telegraph, has been accused of fundraising for jihadists. The Telegraph quotes the imam, Mohammed Saeed El-Saeiti, as saying Abedi was a dangerous extremist and that he had shown him

“the face of hate” following a talk the imam gave on the dangers of ISIS. He said Abedi’s act was “not a surprise to me.” Why, then, didn’t the imam contact authorities? Outside the Manchester arena, Abedi was heard by witnesses chanting loudly the first kalma, or Islamic prayer, “There is only one God and the prophet Mohammed is his messenger.” Why didn’t a witnesses call 999, the UK equivalent of America’s 911 emergency number? The New York Times reports authorities are still “trying to find the ‘factory’ where the bomb was produced and to discern whether Mr. Abedi had received help assembling the device.” Four men believed to be connected to Abedi have been arrested. “What role those men might have played in the attack is not yet clear.” One of Abedi’s neighbors said a “huge flag,” possibly Libyan or Iraqi,” hung from the house, but “We thought it was about football or a protest at home or something.” How many more signs

did authorities need before conducting a pre-emptive strike on Abedi? Reaction to the incident and information about Abedi was swift. Many posting comments on the Telegraph’s website called for the Didsbury mosque to be investigated and the imam to be prosecuted for not declaring his suspicions. Others called for “observers” to be placed inside mosques to monitor them for extremist rhetoric before anyone is radicalized to carry out acts of mass murder. To those who scream about “rights,” what about the rights of those now dead and wounded young people and children to live a normal and productive life? How do you explain the “rights” of terrorists to grieving parents? This is the choice for Britain, continental Europe and the U.S. Will we accept terrorism as “the new normal,” as some have suggested, or will we see this as the war that it is and respond as we have to attacks in the past? Clearly the current “Groundhog Day” scenario isn’t working.

Memorial Day is about real people A tear welled up in Hal’s eye, a deep sadness etched across his face as he recalled the moment. Omaha Beach, the day after the D-Day invasion. Hal had been tasked by his company commander to go back down onto the beach and retrieve some equipment. A farm boy from Iowa now deep into his sixties, he shared this memory with me, his words below. “It was a beautiful day — the sun was out, the sky blue, the water calm. But there on the sandy beach stretching out before me on down the beach were the bodies, the carnage from the day before. It was so peaceful and quiet and… and…” Hal’s voice trailed oﬀ into muted silence as he slowly shook his head, his emotions overwhelmed by that graphic, gripping image from 40 years earlier, still as real to him as the day he had experienced it. All gave some, some gave all. If Memorial Day is about remembering the past sacrifices of our men and women in the military, Hal’s five minutes of emotional recall was the best and most real Memorial Day I’ve ever had. On that day in June of 1944 when Hal stood alone on

the beach at Normandy — alone in the company of fallen comrades — I was five years old, James F. my mother Burns preparing me for kinderColumnist garten that fall. I would be free to go to school, salute the American flag in the corner of our classroom, and sing “My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty.” But only because, while all gave some, some did give all, making the ultimate sacrifice that allowed fathers to go to work, mothers care for their children, and kids like me go to school. The wars that purchased our freedom at the price of the blood and bravery of men and women we likely never knew were largely fought overseas. 130,000 American soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guardsmen, and airmen are still there, buried under foreign soil or waters where they repelled an enemy intent on taking away the freedom we enjoy today. That’s “paying forward” like no other debt was or ever could be—their

sacrifice measured starkly in numbers. 116,500 died in WW I; 405,300 in WW II; and another 101,000 in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. But behind the numbers are the faces. An article about the USS Arizona on the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor last December ran in several papers with a sketch of that massive ship sinking, a large grey cloud in the background. But only when you looked more closely at the sketch could you see that the cloud was composed of faces, perhaps a hundred or more, symbolizing the thousand-plus men who went to a watery grave that day and still lie entombed there. Personalizing such faces makes Memorial Day deeper if you have the honor of being linked to someone who served. My link was remote — my parents bought our first house in Ohio from a man who lost two sons, his only children, on the Arizona. They were still teenagers, robbed of the rest of their lives that we might have ours free and clear. And I also think about David Acheson and Jeﬀrey M. Wershow, both outstanding college leaders who left

school to serve their country. David died at Gettysburg at age 23. He surely would have been a leader, likely a lawyer and judge like his father and grandfather, had he lived. And Jeﬀ, who died in Iraq in 2003 at age 22, was nicknamed “the General” because of his confident and purposeful manner. He would have excelled in any field — had he only lived. These two fine young men and thousands more represent the true cost of war — what might have been. Make this Memorial Day as personal as you can—by visiting a grave and leaving flowers, a flag, or a prayer; by asking a veteran, perhaps a family member or neighbor, to share what they’re willing to share about their service experiences. My friend Hal, who has since passed away, gave me a rare gift by sharing a vivid memory of historic sacrifice for our country. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Many did just that for the country they loved. May we never forget. James F. Burns is a retired professor at the University of Florida.

SHOOTING

DOWNTOWN CONTINUED FROM 1A

downtown Corinth dates back to the early 1980s when he first purchased the crumbling Rubel Gift Shop on the north end of Fillmore Street. â€œItâ€™s simply a love for Corinth,â€? said the eye doctor. â€œIn the early 1980s, there were many vacant properties. Downtown Corinth was a very important part of my life growing up and that is where I wanted to build my practice.â€? A little over 30 years later Dodd expanded and moved across street where he renovated another â€œfalling-inâ€? structure. He now calls home the old First Baptist Church building built in 1920 at the corner of Fillmore and Childs streets. Dodd is unique as his journey to revitalize downtown Corinth began more than three decades ago. Many other professionals turned developers have also come along, completing similar projects throughout downtown. A younger generation is also beginning to make headway in downtown development, including one of Doddâ€™s sons, Nixon. Also a optometrist at his fatherâ€™s clinic, the young Dodd just christened the Hester Battery buildings at the corner of Franklin and Bunch streets. Home to Downtown Storage and six premium apartments, Nickâ€™s work began in early 2015. â€œWe pretty much had to totally gut the buildings,â€? he said. â€œIt was a lot of work, but it was easy because I felt such beautiful, historic buildings deserved better.â€?

ally and was ranked sixth on the 2015 Phi Theta Kappa Presidentâ€™s List, which lists the Top 25 colleges nationally by their 2015 acceptance rates. Advisors for the chapter during the 2016-17 academic year are Dr. Ray Harris, Andrea Mathis of Booneville and Carla Falkner, Morgan Ricks, both of Tupelo and Dr. Deborah Kehoe of Oxford.

Heâ€™s thankful he has been able to contribute to downtownâ€™s recent upswing of development. â€œWe have such a great opportunity. Itâ€™s my hope that as a community we are going to continue to improve the area while keeping the charm of downtown alive,â€? said Nick. â€œIt is something thatâ€™s going to take a lot of time and money, but itâ€™s worth it.â€? A truly unbelievable remodel happened on Cruise Street to a section of buildings where only the facade of a building once stood. Financial advisor Greg Cooley and dentist Dr. Bubba McQueen each developed oďŹƒces and apartments that would go on to win statewide awards. â€œBecause I grew up in Corinth, it was important for me to do my part in restoring the character of the building where my oďŹƒce is located,â€? said McQueen. â€œThe exciting thing about the restoration of downtown over the last 10 years is it attaches people to the community, provides a sense of place and connects them to their neighbors. All the great projects being completed have had a huge aďŹ€ect on the health of Corinth, and I think thereâ€™s more to come.â€? Attorney Bob Moore

is another businessman improving the look of downtown Corinth. He has completely revamped his Cruise Street oďŹƒce building. Also the president of the Corinth Historical Preservation Commission, Moore is passionate about restoring buildings to their original state. â€œThe development downtown in the last five or so years has been beyond beneficial to the longevity of our city,â€? he said. â€œItâ€™s an amazing turn. Just 20 years ago, a lot of our downtown buildings were boarded up and vacant.â€? Moore said he admires others who also believe investing and renovating downtown Corinth is a good move.

Possibly the largest investment came after local businessman Tim Smith decided to move his growing Avectus Healthcare Solutions into the county owned Chadco building. With more than 300 employees under one roof, Avectus is the only large employer that calls downtown Corinth home. Recently the company held its ribbon cutting at the two-story Tate Street industrial building built in1896. â€œTim (Smith) has always been drawn to preserving history,â€? said Avectus general manager and city alderman Chip Wood. â€œWhen he first toured the former Chadco building, I think he fell in love with the opportunity to restore

CONTINUED FROM 1A

such a grand building while creating a lasting home for all of his employees.â€? Wood said the company often hosts visitors from around the country for training and other meetings. What they say about downtown Corinth speaks volumes. â€œPeople see our downtown and are amazed at how vibrant it is,â€? said the alderman. â€œHereâ€™s Corinth with around 14,000 people and we have a downtown thatâ€™s more impressive to outof-towners than much bigger cities.â€? â€œItâ€™s really a blessing and something downtown developers should get much of the credit for helping create,â€? he added.

times and a person was inside at the time, said the sheriďŹ€. â€œFortunately, nobody was hurt,â€? he added. The shooters ran from the scene on foot, but were taken into custody shortly after the shooting when oďŹƒcers stopped a vehicle on Alcorn County Road 400 (Salem Road). â€œWe got a call the suspects were picked up by a vehicle,â€? said Caldwell. â€œWe were able to stop the vehicle and take the suspects into custody.â€? SheriďŹ€â€™s oďŹƒce investigators were trying to determine the motive in the shooting and what charges to file, added Caldwell. The sheriďŹ€ promised to release more information to the Daily Corinthian as it became available.

Kushner back channel involved Syria BY VIVIAN SALAMA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and now top White House adviser Jared Kushner proposed a secret back channel between the Kremlin and the Trump transition team during a December meeting with a leading Russian diplomat. Kushner spoke with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about creating that line of communication to facilitate sensitive discussions aimed at exploring the incoming administration’s options with Russia as it was developing its Syria policy, according to a person familiar with the discussions who spoke with The Associated Press. The intent was to connect Trump’s chief national security adviser at the time, Michael Flynn, with Russian military leaders, said this person, who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss private policy deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity. Russia, a pivotal player in Syria, has backed Syrian President Bashar Assad, often at the expense of civilians during a long civil war.

The White House did not acknowledge the meeting or Kushner’s attendance until March. At the time, a White House oﬃcial dismissed it as a brief courtesy meeting. Kushner’s involvement in the proposed back channel was first reported by The Washington Post, which said he proposed using Russian diplomatic facilities for the discussions, apparently to make them more difficult to monitor. The newspaper cited anonymous U.S. oﬃcials who were briefed on intelligence reports on intercepted Russian communications. The Post wrote that Kislyak was reportedly taken aback by the suggestion of allowing an American to use Russian communications gear at its embassy or consulate — a proposal that would have carried security risks for Moscow as well as the Trump team. According to the person familiar with the Kushner meeting, the Trump team eventually felt there was no need for a back channel once Rex Tillerson was confirmed as secretary of state, and decided to communicate with Moscow through

more oﬃcial channels. Tillerson was sworn in on Feb. 1. Flynn served briefly as Trump’s national security adviser before being fired in February after oﬃcials said he misled Vice President Mike Pence about whether he and the ambassador had discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia in a phone call. Sally Yates, the former acting attorney general, told Congress this month that that deception left Flynn vulnerable to being blackmailed by the Russians. Flynn remains under federal investigation in Virginia over his foreign business ties and was interviewed by the FBI in January about his contacts with Kislyak. The disclosure of the back channel put White House advisers on the defensive Saturday, as Trump wrapped up his first foreign trip as president, and led lawyers for Kushner to say he is willing to talk with federal and congressional investigators about his foreign contacts and his work on the Trump campaign. Meeting with reporters in Sicily, two Trump advisers refused to address the contents of Kushner’s December meeting with

the Russian diplomat. But they did not dismiss the idea that the administration would go outside normal U.S. government and diplomatic channels for communications with other countries. Speaking generally, national security adviser H.R. McMaster said “we have back channel communications with a number of countries.” He added: “It allows you to communicate in a discreet manner.” In response to repeated questions from reporters, Trump economic adviser Gary Cohn said, “We’re not going to comment on Jared. We’re just not going to comment.” Kushner was a trusted Trump adviser last year, overseeing the campaign’s digital strategy, and remains an influential confidant within the White House as does his wife, Ivanka Trump. Federal investigators and several congressional committees are looking into any connections between Russia and the Trump campaign, including allegations that there may have been collaboration to help Trump and harm his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Across The State Associated Press

Asphalt plant owner paying $36,000 fine for records BOONEVILLE — The owner of a Mississippi asphalt plant is paying a $36,000 civil fine for violations of environmental recordkeeping rules. WG Construction of Booneville agreed to pay the fine to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The regulator cited WG Construction for four violations in 2016, saying the company didn’t notify regulators of its startup date, didn’t submit emission test results, didn’t submit annual production reports and didn’t keep records of when pressure dropped in the plant. The agency says WG Construction has since submitted the required records and proved the plant is complying with emission limits. President Thomas J. Walter signed the March 10 order, agreeing to waive hearing rights and pay the fine. WG Construction will pay the fine in three installments through July.

Jet owned by Elvis auctioned after sitting 30 years ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A private jet once owned by Elvis Presley has been auctioned after sitting on a runway in New Mexico for 30 years. The plane sold for $430,000 on Saturday at an Agoura Hills, California, event featuring celebrity memorabilia, GWS Auctions Inc. said. The buyer was not disclosed in the sold note posted on the firm’s website. GWS Auctions managing member and lead auctioneer Brigitte Kruse did not immediately return a call for additional information. The auction house says Elvis designed the interior that has gold-tone woodwork, red velvet seats and red shag carpet. But the red 1962 Lockheed Jetstar has no engine and needs a restoration of its cockpit. The 1962 red Lockheed JetStar was owned by Elvis and his father, Vernon Presley, Liveauctioneers.com says. It has been privately owned for 35 years and sitting on a tarmac

in Roswell, New Mexico. Presley was born in Tupelo on Jan. 8, 1935, and moved to Memphis with his parents at 13. Elvis was 42 when he died on Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis.

Mississippi State borrows to build $9M parking garage STARKVILLE — Mississippi State University is planning a 500-space parking garage projected to cost $9 million. Trustees earlier this month gave approval for plans to be drawn up and for Mississippi State to borrow the money by selling bonds for up to 30 years. The university plans to increase prices for parking on campus to finance the $660,000 in projected yearly debt payments. Mississippi State, in documents submitted to trustees, says a 2015 parking study show that the campus will have a parking space shortage by 2020 if the university doesn’t act. Planners hope to shift traffic away from the now-congested south side of campus by building the garage on the north side.

Allman dies; sang, and lived the blues Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Gregg Allman, a survivor of tragedy, knew the blues musically and in a painfully personal way. Raised by a single mother after his father was shot to death, he idolized his guitar-slinging older brother Duane and became his musical partner. They formed the nucleus of The Allman Brothers Band, which helped define the Southern rock sound of the 1970s. Their songs such as “Whipping Post,” ‘’Ramblin’ Man” and “Midnight Rider” laid the foundation for the genre and opened the doors for groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band. Gregg Allman, whose bluesy vocals and soulful touch on the Hammond B-3 organ helped propel the Allman Brothers Band to superstardom, died Saturday. He was 69. Allman died peacefully and surrounded by loved ones at his home near Savannah, Georgia, his manager, Michael Lehman, told The Associated

Press. He blamed cancer for Allman’s death. Allman played his last concert in October as health problems forced him to cancel other 2016 shows. He announced Aug. 5 that he was “under his doctor’s care at the Mayo Clinic” due to “serious health issues.” Later that year, he canceled more dates, citing a throat injury. In March, he canceled performances for the rest of 2017. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, the rock star known for his long blond hair was raised in Florida. Although Gregg was the first to pick up a guitar, it was Duane who excelled at it. So Gregg later switched to the organ. They spent years in bands together, but failed to crack success until they formed The Allman Brothers Band in 1969. It featured extended jams, tight guitar harmonies by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, rhythms from a pair of drummers and the smoky blues inflected voice of Gregg Allman.

Tractor Supply raises money for 4-H youth 4-H youth from across Mississippi will have countless opportunities to learn valuable life skills this summer, thanks to more than $825,000 donated by Tractor Supply Company customers earlier this year. Between April 26 and May 7, Corinth-area Tractor Supply stores hosted a Paper Clover fundraiser to help send thousands of 4-H youth to county-level development programs, camps and leadership conferences. Awarded as scholarships, the money will enable individual 4-H members to learn everything from science and technology to fishing and horseback riding. “The value of our partnership with National 4-H Council is never more clear than during the Paper Clover Campaign,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company. “Our dedicated team members and loyal customers continue to show outstanding support for 4-H programs that teach children life skills in science, healthy living and citizenship empowering them to thrive today andtomorrow.” 2017 marks the eighth consecutive year of the semi-annual Paper Clover Campaign. The partnership between Tractor Supply and National 4-H Council has generated more than $11 million in essential funding over its history, due in large part to the commitment of 4-H groups. This year, individual 4-H Clubs greeted customers at stores and held their own promotions, including greenhouse sales, 4-H alumni events and social media challenges. “So many Tractor Supply customers have a true passion for 4-H and want to help our country’s next generation of leaders gain the skills they need to succeed,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, National 4-H Council. “By emphasizing individual development and group dynamics through hands-on learning and team challenges, 4-H youth programs can do just that.” The Paper Clover Campaign will return to MS Tractor Supply Company stores this fall, from Oc-

tober 4-15, 2017. Customers can participate in the 2017 Fall Paper Clover Campaign by purchasing paper clovers for $1 or more at checkout. For more information on the program, visit http://www.tractorsupply.com/4h.
