Summertime is a relaxed time for activities and many Crossroads area children look forward to Vacation Bible School as part of their summer fun. VBS is an annual event which works as a fun, creative supplement to a child’s study of the Bible. Along with study, there are fun, interactive songs and games. VBS is a summer activity which normally can last anywhere from one to five days. This year’s season looks to be as creative and enjoyable as ever and some churches also offer classes for adults.

2 agencies file felony fleeing on local man BY L.A. STORY

sis says you will not support over time,” said Barber. The market appears healthy, however, serving as a regional retail magnet, said the Stennis Institute’s Joe Fratesi. He pointed to the city’s sales tax diversion rank of 20th among all across the state as a positive indicator.

A Corinth man has been charged with felony fleeing by at least two local law enforcement agencies. Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Dusty Essary confirmed that Lionel Staton, 32, of Corinth, has been charged with felony fleeing law enforcement. Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance advised Staton has also been charged by the Corinth Police for felony fleeing, in addition to reckless driving. The charges were filed after last weekend’s pursuit which began in Corinth and ended Tishomingo County. In an earlier report to the Daily Corinthian, Dance said officers responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle and suspicious individuals at the Huddle House on U.S. Highway 72 arrived to see an individual wearing a dark hoodie and holding a handgun. The person got into the vehicle and fled when he saw the police officers and refused to stop for officers. Essary had said the sheriff’s department picked the pursuit up in the Strickland area and were later joined by Tishomingo County deputies. Corinth officers terminated their pursuit as it crossed into Tishomingo County. The pursuit ended in Tishomingo County where shots were fired. In a formal statement, Tishomingo County Sheriff John Daugherty confirmed there was an officer-involved shooting that occurred at approximately 12 a.m. on Saturday morning on Mississippi

Citizens tackle tough questions BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.co

How should Corinth improve the look of the Highway 72 corridor? Where would another park be beneficial? Citizens tackled these and other questions Monday evening as development of the city’s comprehensive plan for the future continues. Another meeting follows at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Corinth Elementary School gym to discuss the results thus far. Led by Orion Planning + Design, the process is intended to build a roadmap for future development to provide an excellent quality of life. “There are certain corners and edges and parts of the city that, when you encounter them, it may not necessarily convey the same message that you’re seeking to convey,” said Orion Partner Bob Barber. “So, the idea is: What is the future of the community?

The Alcorn County Branch of the NAACP continues to provide leadership in hosting the biennial Reunion/Homecoming event, which will take place from Friday, June 30 through Sunday, July 2. The organizers of the event expressed excitement to see it coming around again. “I am excited about this year’s reunion,” said one of the event coordinators, J.C. Hill. “It may be very well be one of the best that we’ve ever had with everything well-coordinated and I like the theme, ‘Feeling the Sting in 2017.’ We look forward to having a great time. I can’t wait until it’s here: a funfilled weekend.” Event coordinator Pauline Sorrell said she always enjoys this time of year. “It’s going to be even greater this year because, in conjunction with the Reunion, I am also hosting my family reunion, which brings former Corinthians back home,” she said. The event coordinators recently released the Reunion/ Homecoming Schedule of Events, which promises to be a fun-filled weekend with the celebration of renewing old acquaintances. The Schedule of Events includes: Registration — Friday, June 30, 1 p.m. until 5 p.m., at the John Street Community Center.

About 17 percent of the city’s housing is vacant and 42 percent of housing is rental — both higher numbers than the consultants expected. The latter is more consistent with the housing profile of a college town. “It’s not necessarily a negative thing,” said Fratesi, “but it is something to make us say, ‘OK, we need to stop and look at this and start figuring out how this fact plays into future planning.’ “

About 1,000 acres, or 5 percent of the land in Corinth, is federal land. During Monday’s session, participants also tackled questions such as which downtown entry point to improve first, where to put new residential developments and which natural areas should be preserved.

Guild hosts Corinth native exhibit BY JEBB JOHNSTON

Today is Wednesday, June 7, the 158th day of 2017. There are 207 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On June 7, 1942, the Battle of Midway ended in a decisive victory for American naval forces over Imperial Japan, marking a turning point in the Pacific War.

On this date In 1892, Homer Plessy, a “Creole of color,” was arrested for refusing to leave a whites-only car of the East Louisiana Railroad. (Ruling on his case, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld “separate but equal” racial segregation, a concept it renounced in 1954.) In 1965, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Griswold v. Connecticut, struck down, 7-2, a Connecticut law used to prosecute a Planned Parenthood clinic in New Haven for providing contraceptives to married couples. In 1967, the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic opened in San Francisco. In 1998, in a crime that shocked the nation, James Byrd Jr., a 49-year-old black man, was hooked by a chain to a pickup truck and dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas. (Two white men were later sentenced to death; one of them, Lawrence Russell Brewer, was executed in 2011. A third defendant received life with the possibility of parole.)

“Hoot” is having a homecoming. Since retiring, Corinth native Hoot Wilder is spending much time with a paintbrush in hand. He is getting his first gallery showing in Corinth, and an opening reception is Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit runs through June 29. Rural landscapes and scenes from travels are frequent subjects for Wilder, who now resides at the Old Waverly golf course in West Point. “I love nostalgia,” he said. “I love country scenes. When I kind of memorialize a trip or a scene that I’ve had in the past, I love to do that.” With twin sister Kate, he grew up at Borroum Circle and recalls painting there with friends. Later, while serving in the Air Force in Venice Beach, California, he befriended a gallery owner and painter who rekindled his interest in painting. An extended hiatus of 40 years followed as he began his career, which included time as an engineer at Corinth Machinery. His father, Hoyt, was one of the owners of the recently departed

industrial building, which held the title of the state’s oldest. He later worked at Valvoline in Lexington, Ky., and Gateway in Corinth. Three years ago, he retired from Regions Bank. Some of the paintings reflect a recent month-long drive through the West, with scenes from Yellowstone, Zion and Glacier national parks, and Red Rock in Arizona. Others reflect his love for golf and country and bluegrass music. He describes one of his favorites as “three old codgers on the front porch of an old shack, just picking and singing.” Another shows country music icon and one of his favorites, Jimmy Rogers. From a trip to Italy, there are a couple of plein air paintings. Some mean more personally than others, such as the painting of his father hunting with his dogs, Jack and Blondie. Oil is his medium of choice, but he plans to try others. Wilder said he sometimes sees things he would change once the work is done, but he has learned not to fuss over them. “You never know what people will like,” he said. “They’re not looking for technical expertise. They’re looking for a feeling or

Corinth, Miss.

Paris accord withdrawal was right call President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement might have come with some suspense, but it should have been no surprise to those of us who share Mr. Trump’s Roger goal of protecting American Wicker jobs and keeping campaign promises. The move reinColumnist forces the pro-growth agenda he has advocated since taking office. Predictably, the reaction from the mainstream media has been one-sided and hysterical – not to mention based on scant scientific evidence. The Paris Agreement has nothing to do with lowering smog levels or cutting back on other types of air pollution. Rather, its premise is to get the 195 signatory nations to emit less carbon dioxide – a colorless, harmless gas essential for life on this planet. Further, the deal would require the United States and other developed nations to make drastic and unrealistic pledges to cut CO2, while essentially letting countries like China and India – two of the world’s biggest polluters – off the hook. The cost to the U.S. economy is estimated to be $3 trillion – with a loss of more than 6 million industrial sector jobs by 2040 – according to a report released in March by NERA Economic Consulting. Despite these exorbitant costs, no one is seriously predicting that significant environmental results will follow. Even scientists who support the pact are hesitant to say it would substantially reduce global temperatures or affect sea levels. In fact, a study conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that even if every nation complies, temperatures will still rise between 1.9 and 2.6 degrees Celsius by 2050. With so much on the table, Americans’ standard of living should take priority over empty climate promises. So should U.S. sovereignty, which could be challenged by international litigation. I wrote to the President with 21 of my Senate colleagues last month encouraging him to “make a clean break from the Paris Agreement.” I am glad to see that the President shares our concerns about what this international agreement bodes for American families, workers, and businesses. Another concern I have repeatedly raised about the Paris pact is its runaround of the Constitution’s checks and balances. According to our Constitution, a two-thirds majority approval is needed in the Senate to agree to a legally binding treaty. Even though an international agreement of this magnitude should be subject to the “advice and consent” of the Senate, Mr. Obama did not submit the Paris Agreement to Congress for ratification because he knew that it would never have been ratified. Americans concerned about carbon dioxide and smog levels can take heart that emissions have seen a decline. They have reached their lowest levels in years thanks in part to free-market principles — not an international regulatory regime. Additionally, the United States will continue to participate in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Unlike the Paris Agreement, that international climate deal was approved by the Senate before I came to Congress. I am pleased President Trump has prioritized regulatory relief during his first months in office, joining with Congress to repeal 14 harmful Obama-era rules. Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is in keeping with the President’s agenda to put Americans back to work and restore their promise of future prosperity. A climate deal with negligible environmental outcomes is not the path toward this progress.

Prayer for today My Father, I thank thee for life and its faculties. May I not be deceived by gratification and miss the permanent satisfactions. Make me brave that I may be courageous in aﬄiction, and not be dismayed over humiliations and disappointments. May I be kept in harmony with thy will. Amen.

A verse to share Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. —John 15:13

Judge says Epps no small-time offender OXFORD — There’s no way to know what former Mississippi Commissioner of Corrections Christopher Epps expected when he walked into court — at last — to hear his sentence, but the nearly 20-year term imposed by U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate must have come as a surprise. Prosecutors had recommended 13 years and Epps’ attorney was hoping for less. Letters to the judge from legislators asked for leniency, perhaps no prison time at all. Yet Wingate stood his ground, voiced outrage. “This is the largest graft operation in the state of Mississippi, definitely the largest I have seen” the judge said. “Mr. Epps betrayed the state of Mississippi.” Indeed. And hooray for not treating this as yet another routine public corruption case. According to a timeline based on indictments, Epps had been extorting state contractors for seven years before federal prosecutors stepped in and said enough is enough. It all took place right under the noses of state oﬃcials, including those paid

to manage the public’s money and provide oversight. During his rise to Charlie the top Epps Mitchell became wellrespected. Columnist He served under three governors — one Democrat and two Republicans — in an appointed post that normally changes with each administration. In a state that incarcerates a larger slice of its population than almost any other state, he was admired and was even elected to national leadership of a prison management group. All the while, it was clear to almost anyone who wanted to do business with the Department of Corrections that there had to be a side deal with the prison boss. And the cost of the corruption was usually passed right through to the taxpayers or to prisoners and their families. No one questioned the luxury cars, expensive jewelry and clothes, multiple homes, all on a rather modest state salary. It begs the question: How

confident can the public be in state oﬃcials who were apparently blind while kickbacks were a routine part of state contracts totaling $848 million? How could Epps pocket at least $1.4 million and no one seemed to notice or care? At his sentencing, Epps, who pleaded guilty more than two years ago to bribery and filing a false income tax return, told Wingate that greed had consumed him. He said he was sorry, regretted what he had done. The schemes came to an abrupt halt in November 2014 when Epps gave a letter to Gov. Phil Bryant announcing immediate retirement. The 49-count federal indictment was unsealed the next day. The sequence that followed was, well, routine. Before the indictment and since, Epps spent days, weeks and months in dealmaking with federal prosecutors. The Clarion-Ledger newspaper said FBI Special Agent Ty Breedlove testified at the sentencing that Epps was one of the best in cooperating, scoring him a 10 out of 10 for providing information that led to indictments of his former “partners.” At

least eight people, including other current and former state oﬃcials or their kin, were charged. Most, like Epps, admitted their guilt, or a degree of guilt. The case reportedly continues. A halfdozen or more others may be pretty nervous. Epps has “given joy to many of the inmates he’s overseen who can now say the head of the state prison system was just as corrupt as any of them,” Wingate said. It staggers the imagination, too, that Epps, during his tenure, walked 13 prisoners to the death chamber to pay for their crimes. Mississippi is a place where people, especially state oﬃcials, love to loathe and trash-talk the feds. There’s an aura that this state can manage itself and doesn’t need federal meddling. Well, federal prosecutors and Judge Wingate put the lie to that. Absent their intervention, Epps and Co. might still be in business ripping millions from the treasury of a state that doesn’t have a dime to spare. Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Can Wonder Woman just be Wonder Woman? In the new “Wonder Woman” movie, the heroine is mystified by the ways of humankind -- and she doesn’t even read the internet. The fevered commentary about the new hit film raises the question, “Can’t an Amazonian superhero wield her Lasso of Truth and bullet-deflecting bracelets while wearing an up-armored version of a figure-skating outfit without inciting more battles in the culture war?” This being contemporary America, the answer is, “Of course not.” “Wonder Woman” had a huge opening weekend, a deserved triumph for its lovely lead actress, Gal Gadot, and its director, Patty Jenkins. The movie is winsome, charmingly ridiculous summer fare with a smidgeon more depth than most superhero movies. The critics have swooned, and some of them have literally cried over the movie. This is a bit much. The advancement of women in this country, or even just in Hollywood, didn’t depend on the production of a better female superhero vehicle than, say, “Elektra” (Rotten Tomato rating: 10 percent). Nor is it unusual anymore to see women beat

up villains on screen. This hasn’t stopped people from losing their minds -- a Rich new Americore Lowry can competenNational cy -- over Review “Wonder Woman.” Why doesn’t she have armpit hair? Summarizing this controversy that erupted when the trailer was released, The New York Times wrote that “the lack of body hair on the female warrior makes us wonder if feminism was swept aside in favor of achieving the ideal female aesthetic.” (The Wonder Woman character has existed for about 75 years -- and has never once sported armpit hair.) Did you know that Gal Gadot is Israeli and served in the Israel Defense Forces? Lebanon certainly noticed. It banned the film. Actress Gina Rodriguez tweeted her disapproval of the ban, then deleted her tweet under internet pressure. Then there are the clashing interpretations of the movie. It’s “a masterpiece of subversive feminism,”

according to The Guardian. No, it’s not, according to a writer in Slate, who complains of “its prevailing occupation with the titular heroine’s sex appeal.” This isn’t the first time that Wonder Woman’s looks and attire have gotten her in trouble. When the U.N. named her the honorary ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls, U.N. staﬀ members objected over the character’s iteration as “a large breasted, white woman of impossible proportions.” Guilty as charged, of course -- the U.N. quickly dumped her. Wonder Woman, aka Diana Prince, is the spawn of the gods, and such creatures tend to have better-than-average looks, especially when they are depicted in major motion pictures. As for her outfit, most superheroes are distinguished by their inappropriate, physiquebearing costumes, and why would a self-confident Amazonian be diﬀerent? The movie is certainly a feminist allegory. Diana is doing just fine on the allfemale island of Themyscira when a dude shows up, a wayward American pilot who crash-lands. Then everything goes wrong.

She ends up leaving with him into the human world, where she confronts and spoofs mystifying practices (woman squeezing into corsets, councils of war excluding women, etc.) and where World War I rages. This is catnip for feminists, but surely what accounts for the film’s runaway success is its traditional elements. A thread throughout is the lighthearted crosscultural romance between the fearsomely powerful, if nonetheless feminine, Diana (she delights at babies, ice cream and snowflakes) and her human love interest. Diana is an admirably idealistic instrument of outraged innocence. Her Amazonian ethic means she rejects dishonesty and cynical maneuvering. She doesn’t exactly fight against the Germans -- as the original comic-book character did in World War II -- so much against warfare in general. But she is righteous and brave. By the end, Diana comes to realize that humankind is worth saving, despite our flaws. Perhaps the least of them, although an annoying one, is our inability to simply enjoy a deft, entertaining summer blockbuster.

Deaths

Teens orphaned after shooting BY TERRANCE HARRIS AND MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — A devoted father always photographing the games of his teenagers, now orphaned by a workplace shooting. A loving husband who “would give the shirt oﬀ his back” for anyone in need. A grandfather “taken way too soon.” Friends and family members grieved Tuesday over the losses of loved ones in the shooting of five workers at an awning maker outside Orlando, where a recently fired co-worker returned through a rear door and opened fire.

One of the victims, Kevin Clark, was “generous, giving, polite and he was an extremely upstanding person,” said his friend, Allan Saltman, who befriended Clark while taking pictures of youth league sports. “He was a warm and compassionate person.” Authorities said John Robert Neumann Jr., 45, methodically shot his victims and then killed himself at the sound of an approaching siren on Monday. Neumann was fired from Fiamma Inc. in April for undisclosed reasons. Clark began working there several months before that, after jobs in insurance and at an oﬃce

supply company, Saltman said. “The fact that some moron would go and do this stuﬀ to somebody who has been working there for six months and then kill four other people. It makes no sense,” Saltman said. The dead were identified as Robert Snyder, 69; Jeﬀ Roberts, 57; Clark, 53; Kevin Lawson, 46; and Brenda Montanez-Crespo, 44. Fiamma asked the public to keep all the victims in their thoughts and prayers. “The company is heartbroken following the unspeakable attack upon our loved ones and employees,” the company’s statement said.

Peacock Trump company to launch with taste ‘American Idea’ hotel chain for wine BY BERNARD CONDON AND BETH J. HARPAZ Associated Press

Associated Press

ARCADIA, Calif. — A female peacock has ruﬄed more than just feathers at a Los Angeles-area liquor store. Without a peep, the peahen strutted into the open door of the Royal Oaks Liquor Store in Arcadia on Monday. Store manager and college senior Rani Ghanem said he didn’t even know it was there until a customer walked in and asked him about “el pollo,” Spanish for “the chicken.” Ghanem, a 21-year-old San Bernardino resident whose family owns the store, said he then tried to guide the sharp-clawed bird outside but that she spooked, at one point flying directly toward him and then up onto a top shelf of the store. And that spooked Ghanem. An animal-control oﬃcer responded after Ghanem called 911, approaching the peahen with gloves and a fishing net. That’s when the hilarity ensued, Ghanem said. “He was trying to get it with the fishing net, and (the bird) jumped on the first wine bottle. When that happened, I was like, ‘Aw, this is about to be a big mess,’ “ Ghanem said. “He tried to get it again with the net ... It just went straight diving into all the bottles. The more he kept on trying to use the net, the more it kept on flapping its wings and knocking everything over.”

NEW YORK — The sons of President Donald Trump said Monday their company is launching a new hotel chain inspired by their travels with their father’s campaign. The Trump Organization is calling the new mid-market chain “American Idea” and said it will start with three hotels in Mississippi. At a party at Manhattan’s Trump Tower, Donald Trump Jr. said he and his brother, Eric, got a “crash course in America” while traveling across the country with their father’s presidential campaign. “We saw so many places and towns and so many stories,” he said. The first of dozens of hotels in another new Trump chain called

“Scion” is also under construction in Mississippi, the company said. Scion is a four-star hotel chain meant to oﬀer upscale service in U.S. cities that could not support a full-fledged Trump luxury property. Ethics experts have said the chain raises conflicts of interest issues for the White House. The four Mississippi hotels for both chains will be owned by Chawla Hotels. The Trump Organization will get management and franchise fees for the new ventures. Chawla Hotels owns 17 hotels under various franchise names. Chawla Hotels was founded by the late V.K. Chawla, who was described as a war refugee from India. His son, Dinesh Chawla, said his father came to the United States as a legal immigrant from Canada.

London attackers were chef, clerk and ‘suspicious’ Italian Associated Press

LONDON — Details emerged Tuesday of the three London Bridge attackers: a Pakistan-born failed customer service clerk with links to one of Europe’s most prolific hate preachers, a Moroccan pastry chef whose partner said he once went swimming rather than see his daughter and an Italian man who told authorities he “wanted to be a terrorist.” At least two of the men were known to British intelligence and law enforcement oﬃcials, raising questions about whether anything could have been done to stop the attack, which began Saturday when the men drove a rented van into a crowd and then leaped out to stab people

who crossed their paths. Seven were killed and nearly 50 wounded. All three of the attackers were shot dead by police. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said it was fair to ask how the attackers “slipped through our net.” Security has become a key issue in the run-up to Thursday’s general election. British security oﬃcials said none of the men was considered violent, but they acknowledged the diﬃculty of predicting whether extremists will turn dangerous. The assault was the third attack in three months in which most of the assailants had been on authorities’ radar at some point.

Judge declares mistrial in gay beating case BY MITCH WEISS AND HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press

RUTHERFORDTON, N.C. — A judge held a juror in contempt and declared a mistrial Tuesday in the case of a North Carolina church minister charged in the beating of a congregant who says he was attacked to expel his “homosexual demons.” Superior Court Judge Gary Gavenus imme-

diately sentenced the juror, Perry Shade Jr., to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. Gavenus said Shade brought in three documents Tuesday and handed them out to his fellow jurors. One of the documents was North Carolina case law. Gavenus said he wasn’t sure when a new trial would be scheduled for Brooke Covington, 58, a longtime minister at

Word of Faith Fellowship in Spindale, North Carolina. Covington faced up to two years in prison if convicted on charges of kidnapping and assaulting former member Matthew Fenner in January 2013. “This juror has impaired the integrity and fairness of the trial ... therefore I am removing this juror and declaring a mistrial,” Gavenus said. The audience gasped.

Fenner dropped his head. “I instructed the jurors over and over again not to do research,” said the judge, who then stared at Shade. “You are in direct criminal contempt,” Gavenus said, ordering the bailiﬀ to handcuﬀ Shade, 71. “Thirty days in jail and $500 fine. You are under arrest. Get him out of here,” Gavenus said.

Great Wall of debt China’s debts have hit alarming levels. And the authorities in Beijing aren’t retooling the economy fast enough to contain the risk — at least in the short term. So says Moody’s Investors Service, which last month downgraded China’s credit rating for the first time since 1989. To fight the global recession in 2008, China ordered state-owned banks to lend to businesses. It was supposed to be a temporary fix. But the credit binge has proven addictive. Beijing doesn’t want the economy, slowing steadily since 2010, to crater. So it keeps

injecting loans into the system to ease the pain, promising that one day it will kick the habit. The country’s total debts — most of it held by corporations — were equal to a disturbing 256 percent of economic output last year, one of the highest figures in the world. Moody’s expects the debt burden to keep growing. But the ratings agency expressed confidence that the government will eventually manage an economic transition away from often-wasteful, debt-financed investment toward slower, steadier growth built around consumer spending.
