Verdung out as street commissioner BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung told the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday that he will resign. His last day with the city will

be July 19. Verdung said he is taking another job in the private sector that he cannot yet disclose. In executive session, the board voted to take resumes through June 20 in hopes of

having the replacement onboard for training with Verdung before his exit. Verdung served as street commissioner since early 2013 following the retirement of Jim Bynum. In February 2008, he

was hired as building inspector. “We have made great progress in the street department in the last three years, and I was honored to be a part of it, proud to be a part of it, and wish I could be here to see what’s yet

to come,” he said. “I’m sad to be leaving the street department and the City of Corinth. I did enjoy this job, but I’m also looking forward to these other Please see VERDUNG | 3A

More than 40 Alcorn School District teachers gathered last week for Conscious Discipline training from retired teacher Donna Porter and her former student DJ Batiste.

Teachers learn conscious discipline BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A group of Alcorn County teachers heard a powerful story during a special training session held last week. Retired Picayune teacher Donna Porter has dedicated her life to the field of education, and has gained a breadth of wisdom and experience that she now pours into audiences across the

nation. She, along with former student DJ Batiste, spoke to 45 teachers from the Alcorn School District as part of Conscious Discipline training at the district’s central oﬃce last week. “Conscious Discipline trains teachers how to respond to conflict and integrate classroom management skills and student centered self-regulation tech-

niques,” said Tammy Johnson, curriculum director for the school district. “Mrs. Porter and Mr. Batiste provided 45 of our teachers a remarkable session and we are thankful they could fit us into their busy schedule.” Early in his life, Batiste was kicked out of head start. Some years later, he was in juvenile Please see TRAINING | 5A

Sites targeted for brownfield assessments in Corinth have thus far been found largely free of pollutants that could pose an obstacle to redevelopment. “The [former] Kroger property was clean,” said Norman Kennel of EarthCon Consultants. “At the Verandah House, the only issue was the fuel tank.” That tank was removed from the historic home property and no contamination found that would require remediation. The East Fifth Street property had some minor contamination that can be dealt with administratively, he said. It is land that was donated to the city and is near landfill property. “That is going to be an interesting redevelopment as far as reuse of land,” said Dave Huwe, the city’s director of community development and planning. “It will not only have the detention pond in that southern part which will help with our flooding issues,

A recent Tishomingo County High School graduate, Brandi Smith knows where she’s going in life. “I want to study secondary English education at Mississippi State this fall,” she said. Until then the Tishomingo native will continue working as a lifeguard at the Tishomingo State Park. A life-long Girl Scout, she is quite famous in North Mississippi’s disabled community. “I installed a wheelchair accessible swing set at the Tishomingo State Park,” she said. “From this, I received my Girl Scout Gold Award, and in doing so, I created a nonprofit organization called ‘From Wheels to Thrills’.” Smith’s long term goal is to place handicap accessible playground equipment in parks throughout North Mississippi. She also loves history, and has participated in several local Civil War re-enactments.

The city and its partners in the brownfields program are seeking additional sites for study. The Environmental Protection Agency grant runs through September 2017. The program can help property owners looking to sell sites such as old gas station properties that may have a stigma attached. The sites are often in favorable locations within a city with good infrastructure available. “A lot of times we find the contamination is nowhere near what the perception is,” said Kennel.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, June 8, the 160th day of 2016. There are 206 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 8, 1966, the strongest of a series of tornadoes struck the Topeka, Kansas, area, killing 17 people. A merger was announced between the National and American Football Leagues, to take effect in 1970.

On this date: In A.D. 632, the prophet Muhammad died in Medina. In 1845, Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, died in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1864, Abraham Lincoln was nominated for another term as president during the National Union (Republican) Party’s convention in Baltimore. In 1915, U.S. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan resigned over what he viewed as President Woodrow Wilson’s overly bellicose attitude toward Germany following the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. In 1953, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that restaurants in the District of Columbia could not refuse to serve blacks. Eight tornadoes struck Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, killing 126 people. In 1967, 34 U.S. servicemen were killed when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, a Navy intelligence-gathering ship in the Mediterranean. (Israel later said the Liberty had been mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.) In 1972, during the Vietnam War, an Associated Press photographer captured the haunting image of 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc as she ran naked and severely burned from the scene of a South Vietnamese napalm attack. In 1978, a jury in Clark County, Nevada, ruled the so-called “Mormon will,” purportedly written by the late billionaire Howard Hughes, was a forgery. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan became the first American chief executive to address a joint session of the British Parliament. In 1996, China set off an underground nuclear test blast.

Two facing charges in Selmer shooting

FHU gives degrees to 2 Iuka students

Official proposes merging precincts

SELMER, Tenn. — A recent shooting has led to the arrest and charges against two Selmer residents. The shooting happened on Monday, May 30, according to a press release by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department. Charles Eugene Gray, 33, of 957 W. Cherry Ave., and Karen D. Murrell, 26, of 120 North Tina Dr., have been arrested by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department. The investigation of the case is still in process. Gray is facing charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, accessory after the fact, and criminal facilitation reckless endangerment. Murrell is facing charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment X3, and escape. The victim in the shooting is William Thorton McAnally, 56, of 385 Knepp Road in Bolivar. McAnally was flown to The Med where he is currently in stable condition. Danny Pinson of the sheriff’s department was called to the scene of a gunshot victim at 304 Hughey Tally Rd. on May 30. He found McAnally laying on the kitchen floor with a gunshot wound on his left forearm and a head wound from a blunt object. Pinson also noticed a blast in the front door that appeared to be a gunshot, along with a shotgun casing on the front steps. The officer discovered a bloody shirt, a hammer, and a screwdriver by the steps of the residence. According to witnesses, McAnally entered the resident at 306 Hughey Tally with the gunshot wound on his arm. The witnesses told Lt. Brad Johnson that within seconds a shotgun blast came through the door. McAnally ran out the back door and returned later.

HENDERSON, Tenn. — Two Iuka students were among the approximately 250 graduates who received degrees Saturday, May 14, at Freed-Hardeman University. Graduate degrees in a variety of fields were conferred on 51 students. Almost 200 students were awarded baccalaureate degrees. Kristen Borden graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing and a Master in Business Administration in business administration. Kaitlin Gillis graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in psychology. Author and preacher Jay Lockhart of Whitehouse, Texas, spoke at the university’s commencement exercises. Lockhart is also an alumnus of FHU and a member of the university’s board of trustees. “As you prepare to leave these sacred halls of a university that we love so much and you go to make your mark on the world, you will go as those who have learned to make a living but you’ll also go as those who have learned how to live. No greater life could we live than the life of a servant. Wherever you go, go as a great servant,” Lockhart said. Freed-Hardeman University, with locations in Henderson, Memphis and Dickson, provides an exceptional education from a distinctly Christian perspective. It offers five baccalaureate degrees in 48 undergraduate majors and 61 programs of study. FHU also offers master’s, specialist’s and doctoral degrees. For almost 150 years, the university has combined character and career education to produce graduates prepared to lead in the marketplace, the church and community.

TUPELO — Lee County Circuit Clerk Camille Roberts says she wants to reduce the number of polling places to save money. Roberts said the county has 38 precincts for roughly 46,000 voters. She wants to reduce that to 25 precincts. She said DeSoto County has 39 precincts for almost 100,000 voters, and Harrison County has 58 for almost 110,000 voters. Lee County spent about $1,300 for poll workers at each precinct during the federal primaries this year, she said. “Having 38 precincts is eating up a lot of money,” Roberts told county supervisors on Monday, according to the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. She gave supervisors a tentative list of precincts that could be merged, which was drawn with the help of county election commissioners. Supervisors would have to approve the change. Roberts said she also wants the county to buy newer voting machines. That could cost about $200,000 if Lee County receives a bulk discount that may be available because several other counties are also buying new machines. Most of Lee County’s 47 voting machines, which count both electronically and by paper, were bought used from Lowndes County in 2005, but the machines themselves date from 1992. Locating replacement parts for the old machines is difficult. “We’re to the point that we can’t fix them anymore,” she said. The upgrades proposed by Roberts would not change the current system. Voters would mark selections on a paper ballot and then put those into a scanning machine. That would

Road Closed A section of East Shiloh Road is closed as the result of another pipe collapse. It is in the area of Willow and East Shiloh. The good news, said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung, is this one should be much easier to repair than the recent nearby pipe collapse at East Shiloh and Buchanan. His department will aim to make the repair on Thursday and have the street back open by the end of the day Friday.

leave both paper and electronic records, which some supervisors said they want to keep.

TUPELO — Lee County Supervisors decided Monday they don’t want to pay any money right now to determine the scope of needed repairs at the county’s main jail, according to a report from The North-

east Mississippi Daily Journal. In March, Sheriff Jim Johnson appeared before supervisors to report on poor conditions at the Lee County-Tupelo Adult Jail. Disrepair at the facility threatens its functionality, and repairs exceed the capacity of his department’s budget to remedy, according to Johnson. Supervisors subsequently tasked Rud Robison with the Pryor & Morrow architecture firm to investigate possible options for repair or renovation of the jail as well estimates of those repairs. On Monday, Robison appeared before the board and asked them to commission Corbett Legge & Associates engineering firm to provide a thorough inspection of the building’s pluming, electrical and HVAC systems. The firm proposed a fee of $4,800 to do this work. The inspection would assess the current state of the systems mentioned above and determine the scope of needed repairs to those systems. This is in turn would allow a determination of what needed repairs to the facility could cost. Supervisors ultimately voted 4-1 to reject Robison’s proposal. Only District 5 Supervisor Billie Joe Holland voted to support paying for the inspection. The current 202-bed jail facility was built in the mid-1990s. Supervisors have periodically discussed major renovations to the current building or the construction of a new jail. Those conversations have never yielded results. In 2013, an architect estimated that construction of a new 600-bed jail could cost $20 million. In 2014, supervisors sought plans for an expansion of the current building but never took further action.

Department of Corrections nixed the city’s proposal to partner with the county on the cost of housing inmate workers. Although the old joint work program is gone, the regulations tied to it are still in place. “The old law would not allow cities to go into a funding partnership with the county,” he said. “At the moment, we are back to square one. It’s frustrating.” A native of Jackson,

Tennessee, Verdung was a self-employed carpenter at the time he was hired by the city. He previously worked with Brasfield Construction and Aztec Construction. He joined City Hall at a time of reorganization that included the departure of Junior Morgan as building inspector and incorporating the inspector’s job into the thennew department of community development and planning.

Jackson 29th charity horse show slated for July JACKSON, Tenn. — The 29th Annual Charity Horse Show benefiting Youth Town will be held Saturday, July 9, 2016, at 6 p.m. in Pugh Bourne Park, 343 Oakfield Road, rain or shine. This year’s theme is “Kicking Addiction.” About 1,500 people attend the event each year. Admission is free and includes pony rides and a petting zoo that features miniature animals. Knights of Columbus will provide concessions. Horses and riders from across the country participate in the charity horse show, according to organizers. Event chairperson Cynthia Wright said the community has been essential in making the show successful. “It takes the support of an entire community to build a Youth Town that can serve the needs of our young adults,” Wright said. Youth Town is an accredited residential treatment center for substance dependence. A nonprofit, Youth Town’s goal is to provide irreversible life change for young men and women through Christ-centered and adventure-based experiences.

Corinth, Miss.

A safe space from Chaucer Yale English majors are demanding a safe space from Chaucer. In a petition to the English department, Yale undergraduates declare that a required two-semester seminar on Major English Poets is a danger to their well-being. Never mind that the offending poets, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Donne, Milton, Wordsworth, et al., are the foundational writers in the English language. It’s as if chemistry students objected to learning the periodic table or math students rose up against Rich the teaching of differential calLowry culus. The root of the plaint against National the seminar is, of course, Review the usual PC bean-counting, where prodigious talents who have stood the test of time and explore the deepest questions about what it means to be human are found wanting because they wouldn’t be suitable models for a United Colors of Benetton ad. The petition whines that “a year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity.” This is a variation on the widespread belief on campus that unwelcome speech is tantamount to a physical threat. In this case, the speech happens to be some of the most eloquent words written in the English language. One can only pity the exceedingly fragile sensibility it takes to feel assaulted by, say, “Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey.” The petition’s implicit contention is that the major poets are too circumscribed by their race and gender to speak to today’s socially aware students, when, in point of fact, it is the students who are too blinkered by race and gender to marvel at great works of art. It takes a deeply impoverished imagination to read Shakespeare and regard him simply as an agent of the patriarchy. It is safe to say that the bard is better at expressing what it is like to be a teenage girl in love, or a woman disguised as a man who falls for a man, or a bloody tyrant than almost every actual teenage girl in love, woman disguised as a man or bloody tyrant. The poet Maya Angelou said in a lecture once that as a child she thought, “Shakespeare must be a black girl.” It was because, growing up in the Jim Crow South, a victim of unspeakable abuse, Sonnet 29 spoke so powerfully to her. (”When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,/ I all alone beweep my outcast state,/ And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,/ And look upon myself and curse my fate.”) Yale’s petitioners must consider Toni Morrison a traitor to her race and gender. She had an argument with a theater director years ago in which she defended “Othello,” and went on to write a production based on Desdemona, the play’s doomed female character. Or how about Derek Walcott, whom a Yale professor sympathetic to the petitioners suggests adding to the required course? He told The Guardian newspaper a few years ago it would be absurd to say, “Don’t read Shakespeare because he was white.” Anyone reading widely in the English canon will encounter supremely talented female, black and gay writers. In fact, many other Yale courses feature them. But the creative stream began with so-called dead white males. It is their genius that their words transcend their time and place and have given us phrases, characters and stories that are still vital today. An official description of the Major English Poets seminar says the classes seek to create a heightened “curiosity about the way language works,” as well as “a confidence in engaging with historically and formally diverse literary texts.” This is a reasonable enough academic goal – unless the students involved are willfully incapable of curiosity or confidence. There is an easy solution to the dilemma of the aggrieved petitioners: They shouldn’t study English, or anything else that might challenge their absurdly small-minded ideological hobbyhorses. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray for a desire to work. May I not be deceived in my convictions, and work for that of which I may afterward be ashamed. Lead me into a clear conception of right and wrong. Help me to see as thou dost see, that I may walk with confidence in thy steps. Amen.

A verse to share “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”— Psalms 119:105

Mister Sam at the KOA DENHAM SPRINGS, La. — If I reach age 99, I hope to have the health, pluck, luck and smooth skin of Sam Bacot, who has every intention of celebrating 100 in November. “I asked my cardiologist how long I could expect to live,” Mister Sam says in his Gatling gun delivery. “He said, ‘Till you cut your own throat.’” Mister Sam likes me, for some reason. It’s not my politics. A few weeks ago, his right-hand helper Melissa Williams drove him to the Baton Rouge library on a rainy night to hear my book talk, but a fall cut his head and cut short our visit. So here I am in his neat red-brick home behind the giant Bass Pro store and directly across from the KOA campground he started here nearly 50 years ago. He’s proud of its paved roads and 105 campsites. He’s also proud of the icons for motels, restaurants and, yes, campgrounds, on the

interstate signs that he helped lobby into Louisiana. With his South MisRheta sissippi roots Johnson and newspaper backColumnist ground – Mister Sam worked all over as a linotype operator – we find plenty to talk about. Well, he talks. I mostly listen. Every now and then Mister Sam yanks the hearing aid from his left ear and throws it to the table. “This thing is useless. I’d like to take a hatchet to it.” Are all proverbs Chinese? Doesn’t matter. But the Chinese proverb that says when an old person dies it’s as if a library burns is true. Mister Sam knows things. And, what’s more, he remembers them. He knows enough baseball lore to make George Will hide his head in shame. He knows about the filthiest

public restroom in Louisiana – “Wouldn’t have been no use for Kilroy to visit that one; there was no room on the walls for him to write.” He lays out a smorgasbord of colorful people: Billy Hall, a man from Pike County, Mississippi, who for years drove a school bus barefoot. Infamous Will Purvis, wrongly accused of murder in 1894 but who survived his own hanging when the knot slipped. And Mister Sam talks a lot and lovingly about his late wife, Louise, who wanted a chicken pie in Indianola, Mississippi, for her honeymoon meal. The place they stopped wasn’t clean, so they left. Louise made his life so good for 64 years it’s almost impossible for him to understand the concept of divorce. Some days are better than others, but Mister Sam wants to keep going. “I’ve still got a lot I want to do.” Most everything he mentions has to do with improving the campground,

his main goal for the last 47 years. It’s a beauty, too, with lush flora, miniature golf, swimming pool and a pavilion for music. Now and then Mister Sam bursts into song, everything from antique show tunes to Delta blues, and despite his protestations – “For me, a key is something that opens a door.” – he’s quite the singer. In his bright mustardyellow KOA shirt and with a smile the width of the Mississippi River Bridge, Mister Sam receives guests the way you imagine the Pope would if he could mingle freely. Life still holds Mister Sam’s interest, from Donald Trump to land purchases. If all of us could be as engaged and entertaining at 99 as Mister Sam, well, the world would be a place.

NBC News vs. The Donald You can’t read every email that drops into your inbox. There are just too many. So publicists have learned how to attract attention. On Monday morning, the following press release appeared in my inbox with a ping. It was not made up. It was not spam. It was from MSNBC, and it announced the results of a major investigation by NBC News. It was headlined “NBC News Report: ‘Donald Trump Does Not Have a Campaign.’” Which was kind of a surprise. Trump has a campaign plane and campaign rallies and a campaign press corps, so why doesn’t he have a campaign? It’s like owning a RollsRoyce and never driving it. The press release began, “According to a new Decision 2016 NBC News report headlined ‘Donald Trump does not have a campaign,’ Donald Trump is a candidate without a campaign – and it’s becoming a serious problem.” (The press release could just as easily have begun by stating that “NBC News does not have a person who knows how to write press releases,” but I don’t want to be snarky.) The report says: “Republicans working to elect Trump describe a bare-bones eﬀort debilitated by infighting, a lack of staﬀ to carry out basic functions, minimal coordination with allies and a message that’s prisoner to Trump’s momentary whims.

“‘Bottom line, you can hire all the top people in the world, but to what end? Trump Roger does what Simon he wants,’ a source close Columnist to the campaign said.” I know it is shocking to have a candidate who “does what he wants,” but the alternative is to have dimwit staff members doing what they want. True, Trump presents serious problems as a candidate. He’s a bigot. He does not understand world affairs. And he does not understand domestic affairs. But that is not the problem, according to his staff. The problem is that Trump has “a message that’s prisoner to Trump’s momentary whims” instead of being prisoner to his staff’s momentary whims. That raises a question: If Trump is such a bad campaigner and “does not have a campaign,” how has he done so well? Trump locked up the Republican nomination in late May, while Hillary Clinton – who has a staff the size of Sacramento – was still struggling to lock up her nomination. The NBC News report also severely criticizes Trump’s handling of the Trump University scandal. The report says: “Aides appeared unprepared for the Trump Uni-

versity story last week, despite knowing in advance that unsealed court documents would reveal explosive allegations of fraud. Beyond a short video of former students praising the program that was posted online, the campaign offered scant pushback. “The absence of a response to the Trump U story left the candidate to fill the vacuum with a torrent of demagoguery against the federal judge overseeing the case, Gonzalo Curiel, who Trump said was biased by his ‘Mexican heritage’ despite his Indiana birthplace.” But if Trump had a huge staﬀ, could that staﬀ have prevented him from unleashing “a torrent of demagoguery”? Yes – if it wrapped him in a torrent of duct tape. The report does throw Trump a few bones: “Despite the campaign’s sluggish start, Trump supporters stressed that his unique gifts, especially his ability to command media attention via Twitter and cable news, give him some leeway to bypass ordinary campaign methods. They also are encouraged by polls that show Trump competitive with likely Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and Republican voters largely united despite the bruising primary.” That is another way of saying, “Hey, this guy is a complete tool, but he’s awfully good at it.” And in fact, Trump sent out a tweet that shows how

deft he is at social media (despite the usual typos): “I am getting bad marks from certain pundits because I have a small campaign staﬀ. But small is good, flexible, save money and number one!” NBC News thinks Trump should seek other sources of wisdom, including aides from other past campaigns. Remember that terrific Mitt Romney campaign of 2012, for instance? The report says, “The Romney campaign, for example, helped push coverage of Obama’s ‘You didn’t build that’ quote by organizing events with supporters in the business community in swing states around the country.” I see one problem with that analysis, however. The “You didn’t build that” attack was exceptionally stupid and ineﬀective, even by Romney campaign standards. But do not despair. “The good news for Trump is that it can only get better from here,” NBC News concludes. That’s true. All the Trump campaign needs to do is hire a top adviser to answer criticism with erudite, eloquent, articulate and persuasive responses. Anybody know what Sarah Palin is doing these days?

JACKSON — Five applications for new charter schools are moving forward in Mississippi after operators initially expressed interest in opening 14 schools. The Charter School Authorizer Board will consider approving a K-8 school in Drew as well as three K-8 schools and a high school in Jackson. Submitting full applications for the schools, which are operated by private nonprofit groups using public money, were: ■ I Can Schools of Maple Heights, Ohio, proposing three K-8 schools in Jackson, opening one each in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The schools would grow to 1,260 students by 2024. ■ New Orleans-based Collegiate Academies proposing a high school in Jackson by 2018 and reaching 470 students by 2021. ■ Shades of Elegance, planning a K-8 school in Drew in 2017, growing to 360 students by 2022. Outside evaluators will examine applications to make sure they meet minimum requirements, notifying the authorizer board of their findings July 11. Applicants passing that hurdle would move on to the final stage of consideration, including interviews and a public hearing, with final votes

detention and leading a large violent gang in Mississippi. High School came around and after constant suspensions and trouble with the law, he was introduced to Conscious Discipline in a single moment by Porter. Porter is a certified instructor in the Conscious Discipline method of classroom management, and has been profiled with Batiste on the CBS Evening News. Porter used the concepts of Conscious Discipline in her classroom before she

retired, and as her former student, Batiste has become an integral part of that classroom. Over the years, he learned new skills and strategies to handle conflict in life at home and at school. “Mrs. Porter taught our teachers the 7 Critical Life Skills which will improve every aspect of a child or an adult’s life,” said Johnson. “Our teachers really enjoyed both speakers and, I believe, learned a great amount of information which they can carry over into their own classrooms.” Porter uses innova-

tive techniques to unlock the boundless potential of every student. Those innovative techniques have made her one of the Southeast’s foremost experts on classroom management. Her skills transformed Batiste’s life, turning him from gang member and drug abuser to graduating senior. “‘Life changing’ is the most common adjective used by our teachers this week to describe these sessions,” said Johnson. “Our students and teachers will benefit from the these brain based disciplines.”

Shades of Elegance is the only applicant that doesn’t currently run schools elsewhere. The board disqualified an application from Dallas-based Excellence 2000 for a K-12 school in Jackson as incomplete and ineligible because the group didn’t submit recent audited financial statements or proof of U.S. citizenship for two proposed board members and one staﬀ member. A number of other groups didn’t go through with full applications. Executive Director Marian Schutte said Monday that groups that didn’t go forward may have decided they needed more time to develop plans or make contacts in the state. The board has authorized four charter schools so far, all in Jackson. Two opened last fall, serving a few hundred students. Groups that didn’t follow letters of intent with full applications include Nashville-based Republic Schools, which already operates one school in Jackson and has been approval for two more, and Tougaloo College. Republic wanted to open a third school serving grades 5-8, while Tougaloo was proposing a high school.

Prosecutor backs off convictions Associated Press

DETROIT — A judge on Tuesday threw out the murder convictions of a young Detroit man who pleaded guilty to killing four people at age 14, a remarkable turnaround in a case that has been in doubt for years after a professional hit man stepped forward and took responsibility for the slayings at a drug den. Judge Brian Sullivan acted at the request of the Wayne County prosecutor’s oﬃce and lawyers for Davontae Sanford. Prosecutor Kym Worthy had long resisted eﬀorts to revisit the convictions until law schools at the University of Michigan and Northwestern University and other pro bono lawyers got involved in 2015. Sanford, now 23, is in a prison in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but he’ll now be released on bond, probably by Wednesday, and all charges will be dropped after the judge learns more about the conclusions by state po-

lice in an investigation that was requested last year by Worthy. “No one can give Davontae Sanford and his family back the nine years he has spent in jail for a crime he did not commit, but the court’s decision corrects a grave injustice,” said Heidi Naasko, an attorney for Sanford. David Moran, director of the Innocence Clinic at University of Michigan law school, said Sanford’s time in prison reflected a “complete breakdown” in the criminal justice system. Worthy spokeswoman Maria Miller said there would be no additional comment from the prosecutor’s oﬃce until Thursday. Sanford has been locked up for the 2007 fatal shootings of four people at a Detroit house. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder at age 15, but he’s been trying to undo that plea for years, especially after hit man Vincent Smothers

confessed to the so-called Runyon Street homicides. Smothers insists Sanford had no role. Sanford’s mother said the teen, blind in one eye, could barely read or write in 2007 and confessed to please police. The agreement presented to the judge makes no mention of Smothers. Instead, it says the state police found major problems after interviewing a former high-ranking Detroit oﬃcer, James Tolbert, who was involved in the investigation of the four slayings. State police learned that Detroit police drew a diagram of the murder scene — not Sanford as had been previously reported by investigators. The conflict “seriously undermines” Sanford’s confession and subsequent guilty plea, the prosecutor’s oﬃce said. Smothers, meanwhile, is in prison for 52 years after pleading guilty in 2010 to eight other killings. He said he was regu-

larly hired by drug dealers to kill others in the trade but would never take on a kid as a sidekick. In an aﬃdavit filed in court last year, Smothers, 35, described in great detail how he and another man carried out the Runyon Street murders. He said he scouted the house for weeks, even playing catch one day with a buddy so he could get a feel for the neighborhood. “I hope to have the opportunity to testify in court to provide details and drawings of the crime scene that could only be known by the person who committed the crime: me,” Smothers said. In 2012, he told The Associated Press during a prison interview that he wanted to help Sanford. “I understand what prison life is like; it’s miserable. To be here and be innocent — I don’t know what it’s like,” Smothers said of Sanford. “He’s a kid, and I hate for him to do the kind of time they’re giving him.”

Federal trial date set Colin heads to sea in church shootings after soaking Florida Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — The federal death penalty trial of a white man charged with shooting and killing nine black parishioners during a Bible study at their Charleston church will be held in November, a judge announced Tuesday. Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel set Nov. 7 to begin selecting jurors for the federal trial of Dylann Roof, 22, who faces numerous counts, including hate crimes, in the June 17 shootings at Emanuel AME Church. That’s about two months before Roof’s state death-penalty trial. Roof faces nine counts of murder in state court in a trial set to begin in January. Handcuffed and clad in a gray-striped

prison jumpsuit, Roof attended Tuesday’s hearing but did not address the court. But his attorneys reiterated previous comments that he would be willing to plead guilty if the death penalty were not on the table. “Our plea offer has not been withdrawn and will never be withdrawn,” defense attorney David Bruck told the judge. Setting a date for Roof’s federal trial had been delayed a number of times since last year as the Justice Department weighed whether to seek the death penalty. The decision was announced last month by Attorney General Loretta Lynch who said she was compelled by “the nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm.”

Colin headed out to sea Tuesday after dumping as much as 9 inches of rain on parts of Florida, forcing at least one city to pump partially treated sewage into the Gulf of Mexico ocean because the system was overloaded with rainwater. Colin flooded roads and caused thousands of power outages in Florida and a team investigated a possible tornado related to the storm that damaged homes and toppled trees in Jacksonville. The city of St. Petersburg said it was pumping sewage into Tampa Bay because its sewer system has been overloaded with rainwater infiltrating leaky sewer pipes. Although the storm was out to sea, forecasters said Colin is expected to produce additional rainfall of up to 2 inches across far eastern North Carolina, and as much as 5 inches across central Florida through Tuesday evening. The U.S. Hurricane Center said Colin, which formed Sunday, was the earliest a third named storm had developed during the Atlantic hurricane season, which oﬃcially began June 1. In Dare County, North Carolina, which includes pencil-thin territories from Kitty Hawk down to Hatteras Island, Emergency Management Director Drew Pearson said rain had been falling nearly continuously since

Tropical Storm Bonnie, which formed May 28. So far, there had been no major flooding. “We’re really just seeing large amounts of water,” Pearson said, noting that many roads in the Outer Banks are at sea level, meaning that they can be quickly impacted by heavy rains. Traﬃc may be slow but hadn’t been stopped anywhere, he said. Tropical storm warnings were discontinued on Tuesday as the remnants of Colin sped away from the mid-Atlantic coast and out to sea. Although maximum sustained winds are at 68 mph with higher gusts, the system’s strongest winds and heaviest rains were over water and southeast of the center. The hurricane center said some slight strengthening was possible Tuesday night, but gradual weakening was expected to begin today. Pearson said he expected skies to clear along the Outer Banks, good news for tourists who have flocked there for early summer vacations. “We anticipate conditions to improve over the day,” he said. “Don’t let it ruin your day.” Schools in Wilmington, North Carolina, opened two hours later than usual because of the weather. On Georgia’s Tybee Island, lifeguards posted red flags on the beach to warn swimmers of rip currents and 2- to 3-foot breakers.

Attorneys say no need to understand speed-reading of bills BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

them read out loud when a House member requested it. House Democrats had bills read aloud in March as a delay tactic because they believed Republicans who hold a three-fifths supermajority were ignoring their concerns. Democratic Rep. Jay Hughes of Oxford sued Gunn for having a computer voice read bills “so quickly that no human ear nor mind can comprehend the words.” Any member of the Mississippi House or Senate can demand that a bill be read aloud immediately before a final vote on it, according to Section 59 of the 1890 state constitution. In arguments filed Tuesday with the state Supreme Court, Michael Wallace and other attorneys representing Gunn said legislators can read any bill on paper or on a state-issued computer, so it isn’t necessary for them to understand a bill when it’s read aloud. “Here, it is undisputed that Speaker Gunn has acted consistently with the literal words of Section 59 of the Constitution,” Gunn’s attorneys wrote. “Although Rep. Hughes complains that bills are being read too fast, he admits that all words of all bills have been read.”

Pilot error caused crash into house WASHINGTON — Pilot error caused a private jet to crash into a house in suburban Maryland, killing a woman and two of her young children along with the pilot and two passengers, federal investigators said Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded at a board meeting that the pilot failed to turn on the plane’s de-icing equipment in near-freezing temperatures, causing ice to accumulate on the wings. That meant the jet approached the runway at Montgomery County Airpark in Gaithersburg too slowly, and the plane stalled in midair and crashed into the house, less than 1 mile from the runway. The house was engulfed in a fireball immediately after the crash on Dec. 8, 2014. Marie Gemmell and her sons, 3-year-old Cole and 1-month-old Devin, died as she attempted to shield them from the smoke and flames. The pilot, Dr. Michael Rosenberg — the founder and CEO of a clinical research organization in Durham, North Carolina — and two passengers were also killed on impact.

Shenandoah River incident kills one HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. — One person drowned and another was rescued by helicopter after they capsized close to rapids in the

Shenandoah River near the West Virginia-Maryland border, an emergency response official said Tuesday. The adult female who drowned and the 13-year-old girl who was rescued were kayaking and tubing with three family members near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, said Bakerton Fire Department Chief Josh Smith. He said they capsized near the Bull Falls rapids. Smith said officials recovered the woman’s body. He said he didn’t know her age or name. The Maryland State Police sent out a helicopter at 7:15 p.m. Monday to rescue the teenager, who was stranded on a rock surrounded by rapids, police said in a news release. Because her location was impossible to reach by boat, rescuers had to lower a basket with an officer to retrieve her, the release said. Emergency management officials from Bakerton, and from Washington and Frederick counties in Maryland were out on the river until about 11 p.m., Smith said.

Man falls to death while taking photos BAR HARBOR, Maine — Park rangers say a New Jersey man has fallen to his death while trying to photograph the sunset at Acadia National Park in Maine. Rangers said Tuesday that 68-year-old Mark Simon, of Glen Ridge, fell 40 feet from a bluff between Sand Beach and Thunder Hole.

They say his wife flagged down a ranger Monday evening when Simon failed to return after leaving her inside a car to take a photograph. Searchers located him but were unable to reach him before he was carried away by a rising tide. Simon was a summer resident of Southwest Harbor. He was unresponsive when the Coast Guard found him. The National Park Service says Simon’s death appears to be an accident, but it remains under investigation.

Baptists lose members 9th year NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Southern Baptist Convention lost more than 200,000 members in 2015. It’s the ninth straight year of decline for the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, which also saw baptisms drop by more than 10,000 in 2015. According to denomination statistics released on Tuesday, membership stands at 15.3 million, down from 15.5 million in 2014. Baptisms fell to just a little more than 295,000. Baptisms are an important measure for the Nashville-based denomination because of its strong commitment to evangelism. Some denominational leaders emphasized an increase in the number of Southern Baptist churches in 2015, mostly due to new churches started by SBC pastors.

Shrimpers report good season start BILOXI — More than 250 boats filled the Mississippi Sound before daylight Monday, waiting for the start of this year’s shrimp season. Officials with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources said in a news release the fishermen they talked to reported good catches on opening day. “The fishermen that braved the weather reported decent catches of 50-60 (medium) and 60-70 (small) brown shrimp with a good number of 16-20 (large) white shrimp mixed in,” said Rick Burris, director of DMR’s Shrimp and Crab Bureau. “We were unable to perform our routine aerial vessel survey due to the tropical storm that currently is in the Gulf,” he added. “However, we

were able to get out on the water and estimate about 255 shrimp vessels in the Mississippi Sound, with the majority working south of Deer Island.”

Two women charged with Medicaid fraud JACKSON — Two Hinds County women have been charged with Medicaid fraud and conspiracy to commit Medicaid fraud. Attorney General Jim Hood said in a news release Tuesday 36-yearold Jennifer Green, of Pearl, and 38-year-old Andria Jones, of Jackson, were indicted by a Hinds County grand jury for three counts of Medicaid fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit Medicaid fraud. Hood says Green and Jones are accused of submitting and conspiring to submit false claims to Medicaid under various codes on behalf of Tutoring, Assessment and Professional Servic-

Updates mean sales The faster a car company updates its products, the more it gains in sales and profits. That’s the theory behind Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s annual “Car Wars” study. Between 2001 and 2016, Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia gained more U.S. market share than any other major automaker; they also replaced or updated their vehicles at the fastest pace, the study says. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler were tied for the lowest replacement rate, and they lost the most market share. The study predicts GM, Ford and Honda will have the fastest replacement rate between the

2017 and 2020 model years. European automakers will have the lowest rate. Other factors influence sales. Korean automakers are at risk of losing market share because they are bringing small cars to the market as buyers show a strong preference for SUVs. Fiat Chrysler has a lower replacement rate, but most of its new vehicles are trucks and SUVs. The bottom line: Consumers like new cars — and automakers are delivering. By the 2020 model year, the average age of a vehicle in the showroom will be just 1.9 years; that’s down from an average of 2.9 years in 2000.

Freshen up Automakers that significantly update their models or introduce new ones are likely to gain more market share in the competitive U.S. market. Vehicle replacement rate (2017-2020 model years) General Motors

Wall Street anticipates that Lululemon Athletica’s fiscal first-quarter earnings declined from a year earlier. The yoga clothing company, due to report financial results today, is also expected to show higher revenue for the February-April period. Lululemon posted lower earnings and higher revenue for the fiscal year ended in January.

Mortgage rates have been creeping higher in recent weeks, making it more expensive to borrow money on a home loan. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased to 3.66 percent last week, the third increase in a row. While that's well below the level a year ago of 3.87 percent, the higher rates may be putting off some buyers. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly survey of mortgage applications has been trending mostly lower going back to mid-April. The MBA reports its latest weekly home loan application data today.
