Documents reveal Palmer story BY JERRY MITCHELL The Clarion-Ledger
IUKA — During his 28-year law enforcement career, Jeff Palmer busted well over a thousand Mississippians for selling drugs, sending many to prison. When he retired as a deputy on Oct. 1, Tishomingo County Sheriff Glenn Whitlock praised
him with a plaque that read, “You have set an example to be followed in the future and cherished by those fortunate enough to have experienced for ourselves.” But documents obtained by The Clarion-Ledger paint a much different picture. While working for the Mis-
sissippi Bureau of Narcotics, Palmer forged the names of fellow agents to obtain drug buy money and initiated cases in other agents’ names, documents allege. He flunked a polygraph test that asked him about using drug buy money for “personal use.”
At the district attorney’s request, a judge here has dismissed more than 30 cases Palmer brought — and other cases could be in jeopardy, including those that put people behind bars or marked them as felons. Motions filed by the district attorney’s office cite Palmer’s
availability and health as reasons for dismissal. “On more than one occasion he conveyed he was not available because of his health,” said spokesman Paul Howell. The 49-year-old Palmer, who currently works as a salesPlease see PALMER | 2

The Alcorn County Welcome Center prides itself on being in the know when it comes to almost any question. “We are not just here for travelers,” said center supervisor Sherry Brown. “The center is a good resource for all kind of different things.” In its latest attempt to point the community in the right
direction, the Alcorn Co. Welcome Center is hosting the Alcorn County Amateur Radio Emergency Service Club on June 27-28. Club members will be available to answer questions and demonstrate use of ham radios. “This is a good educational tool for us to show the importance of ham radios during emergencies,” said Brown. “We hope to have more dis-
plays such as this to make the community more aware what is available to them.” Ham operators will be on hand from noon June 27 to noon on June 28. “They will be in the parking lot or at one of the pavilion areas,” added Brown. The Alcorn Co. Welcome Center is also here to help Please see RADIO | 2

A Sunday morning shooting at a family home started with a peaceful knock on the door from an old family friend. According to a family member, David Rogers knocked on the door of a home three miles west of Walnut on U.S. 72 around 5:30 a.m. When the 15-year-old homeowner’s son opened the door, Rogers fired 13 rounds into the home. One bullet hit the 15-year-old in the back, before he was able to grab his father’s gun and begin firing back at Rogers. The gunfight left Rogers with a gunshot wound to the left arm
and abdomen. Walnut first responders and Tippah County Sheriff’s department responded to the scene. Rogers and the 15-year-old were transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center. Rogers was later airlifted to Regional One Health in Memphis, where he remains in the trauma ICU in serious condition. “We don’t understand what happened. We haven’t seen David in years,” said the family member. “He just showed up at the house and started shooting.” A case remains open with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Artist Guild will host art camp for children BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Some idle summer break days could be turned into an opportunity to create something suitable for framing. The Corinth Artist Guild Gallery is taking reservations now for the annual summer art camp for children. In a busy time for the gallery, it is also hosting the remaining silent auction pieces for the Verandah-Curlee House benefit with bidding to continue through Saturday. Retired educators Teresa Smillie and Vicki Avery will be back to lead the popular art camp event. It has been going on long enough that some past participants are now college students.
Claire Cadle works on an exercise in last year’s art camp at the gallery. Reservations are being taken now for this year’s camp.
“A lot of them look back at it as a fun, positive thing,” said Guild President Sonny Boatman. “The guild’s purpose is to increase the appreciation for art in people of all ages, and you can’t begin too early.” Two separate sessions are scheduled — June 15 to June 18 and June 22 to June 25. Those who have completed first grade up to age nine will meet from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, and ages 10 to 13 will meet from 2 to 4 p.m. Participants learn fundamental concepts in mixing and using color during drawing or painting lessons. All materials are supplied. In addition to the learning exPlease see CAMP | 2

Furniture plant expanding The Associated Press
GUNTOWN — H.M. Richards will expand its Lee County upholstered furniture plant, investing $8 million and adding 500 jobs. The company already has 977 employees in a 900,000 squarefoot plant in Guntown. H.M. Richards will buy land next door and add a 280,000 square-foot building for the expansion at the Harry A. Martin North Lee Industrial Complex. State and local authorities are giving cash and tax breaks projected to be worth more than $5.4 million. The Mississippi Development Authority is providing $2.95 million in state aid, including $2.45 million for site preparation, infrastructure, electrical, and parking lot improvements. The company will also receive $500,000 for worker training. Lee County and the Community Development Foundation will contribute $136,000 for road, water and sewer work and the Appalachian Regional Commission will give $450,000. The Tennessee Valley Authority is also giving undisclosed

Greg Giachelli, vice president of the economic development for the Community Development Foundation, said Lee County is likely to grant tax abatements worth $1.9 million over 10 years. Giachelli said new jobs created would pay $32,700 a year, on average. H.M. Richards is majorityowned by furniture retailer Rooms To Go of Seffner, Florida. Last year, Rooms To Go CEO Jeff Seaman told trade publication Furniture Today that Rooms to Go would either add to its Mississippi plant or open a location in North Carolina. “The expansion of our existing facility is the right decision at the right time,� H.M. Richards Vice President of Manufacturing Thomas Wells said in a statement Monday. Giachelli said the race was

The company makes upholstered furniture for Rooms To Go and other retailers in the United States and Canada. “The company could have chosen to expand elsewhere, and the fact the H.M.

The shooting is not believed to have any connection to the deadly gang-related shootout at the nearby Nashway Apart-
ments in April. In that shooting off Proper Street, two Corinth men were killed by gunfire after a massive shootout with about 100 rounds fired. Green said no new information is available in that case. “We are still waiting on the crime lab to finish examining several pieces of key evidence in that shooting,� he added.

The cost is $50. The silent art auction extension offers an opportunity
to purchase quality art from local and regional artists. “There are still some wonderful pieces that were not bid on,� said Boatman. “After this week, they will go back to their regular retail price.� At least half of the proceeds from the final sale price goes to the Friends of the Verandah-Curlee House to support the ongoing renovation of the landmark 1857 home.

Palmer said White was upset with him because he arrested White’s former business partner, Richard Brewer, in 2013 on marijuana charges, “and while he was out of jail, we arrested him on extortion.� In the end, prosecutors dismissed the entire case against Brewer. White explained that he, another man and Brewer owned a piece of land together at one point but that Brewer was never a business partner. He said he represented Brewer, just like he would any client, and that Brewer paid him for his services. “I don’t have anything against Palmer, other than against anyone I felt was lying — trying to put people in prison when they didn’t commit a crime,� he said. “To me, that’s a problem.�

entered law enforcement and soon developed an expertise of making drug arrests. When he joined the state Bureau of Narcotics in 1993, it was a dream come true. He was now working for an elite agency focused on bringing drug cases in his native north Mississippi. Three years later, questions arose about a search warrant he executed on a suspected drug dealer in Alcorn County. “After counting the money and providing a receipt to the person in possession at the time of seizure, you sealed the seized money in an evidence bag but failed to mark the bag for identification purposes,� wrote Col. Tom Blain, thendirector of the Bureau of Narcotics. Failing to mark such evidence violated the agency’s policies. “Your offense is aggravated by the fact that when the funds were
counted it was determined that there was a $1,000 difference between the amount recorded as seized by you and the amount counted by the Bureau fiscal officer,� Blain wrote. “The fact that you failed to properly mark the evidence bag for identification before turning it over to the case agent contributed to the inability of the internal affairs officer to determine whether there was a theft of $1,000 or if the money was miscounted upon seizure.� He issued a written reprimand against Palmer. “It is my hope that this reprimand will encourage you to fulfill your official duties more responsibly in the future,� Blain wrote. “Future incidents could result in more extreme disciplinary action.� Despite the setback, Palmer rose through the ranks. Twice, the bureau named him Agent of the Year. He became captain of the bureau’s Tupelo district. But that came crashing down April 6, 2006, when then-Director Marshall Fisher suspended Palmer without pay, ordering him to turn over anything that belonged to the bureau.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 9, A.D. 68, Roman Emperor Nero committed suicide, ending a 13-year reign.
On this date: In 1870, author Charles Dickens died in Gad’s Hill Place, England. In 1911, Carrie (sometimes spelled “Carry”) A. Nation, the hatchet-wielding temperance crusader, died in Leavenworth, Kansas, at age 64. In 1915, guitarist, songwriter and inventor Les Paul was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In 1934, the first Walt Disney animated cartoon featuring Donald Duck, “The Wise Little Hen,” was released. In 1940, during World War II, Norway decided to surrender to the Nazis, effective at midnight. In 1943, the federal government began withholding income tax from paychecks. In 1953, 94 people died when a tornado struck Worcester (WU’stur), Massachusetts. In 1954, during the Senate-Army Hearings, Army special counsel Joseph N. Welch famously berated Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., asking McCarthy: “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” In 1969, the Senate confirmed Warren Burger to be the new chief justice of the United States, succeeding Earl Warren. In 1973, Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes, becoming horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. In 1985, American educator Thomas Sutherland was kidnapped in Lebanon by members of Islamic Jihad; he was released in November 1991 along with fellow hostage Terry Waite. In 1994, a fire destroyed the Georgia mansion of Atlanta Falcons receiver Andre Rison; his girlfriend, rap singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, admitted causing the blaze after a fight, and was later sentenced to probation. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush defended the USA Patriot Act, saying it had made America safer and should be made permanent. Five years ago: The U.S. and its allies scored a long-sought victory by pushing through new U.N. sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program, punishments Tehran dismissed as “annoying flies.”

Man admits to taping senator’s wife BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
CANTON — A man accused of videotaping the ill wife of a U.S. senator during a heated election campaign has pleaded guilty to conspiracy. Clayton Kelly of Pearl, Mississippi entered the plea Monday. He faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Sentencing was set for June 15. “We are pleased that Clayton Kelly did accept responsibility for his actions,” District Attorney Michael Guest said outside the courthouse. Prosecutors are dropping two other felony charges against Kelly. Those two, combined, would have carried up to 50 years In prison. Guest said he never thought Kelly’s actions were worth more than 50 years of being locked up.
Kelly was accused of shooting a brief cellphone video of the wife of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran while she was bedridden with dementia in a nursing home. Images of Rose Cochran appeared online briefly during the 2014 election, during a tough Republican primary that Cochran eventually won over a tea party-backed state senator, Chris McDaniel. Cochran is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Prosecutors said an investigation showed no direct link between the McDaniel campaign and the video of Rose Cochran, although Kelly and the others who participated in the conspiracy had openly supported McDaniel. Investigators say Kelly was one of several people who conspired to produce the video sug-
gesting the senator was having an affair. The Cochran campaign said he was not involved in an improper relationship. Kelly, 29, was charged with conspiracy, attempted burglary and burglary. He pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit burglary of a dwelling. By entering a plea, Kelly avoids a jury trial that was scheduled for this week. During pre-trial motions earlier Monday, Circuit Judge William Chapman III ruled that Kelly could not use a First Amendment defense. Kelly had argued that the right of free speech protected his actions. Before entering his plea, Kelly, whose blog was called Constitutional Clayton, told reporters outside the Madison County Courthouse that he thought the case was motivated by politics.
“I think a lot of this is political. I think my constitutional rights should be respected,” he said. Kelly has been free on bond since shortly after his arrest last year. He was taken into custody after he pleaded guilty and will remain jailed until his sentencing. Guest said before prosecutors offered Kelly a plea deal, they spoke with a representative of Cochran and to the two grown children of the senator and Rose Cochran. Guest said they all were in agreement with accepting the deal. Rose Cochran died in December after living in a nursing home for 13 years. Last month, Thad Cochran married a longtime aide. Charges against three other defendants in the case have been resolved.
Airports to split federal grants Weyerhaeuser moves The Associated Press
JACKSON — The U.S. Department of Transportation is awarding more than $10 million in grants that will be divided among 35 Mississippi airports. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran, R-Miss., said the grants will pay for project to make airports safer and more efficient, such as runway rehabilitation, new lights and new signs. Money is coming from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, which is supported by user fees, fuel taxes and similar revenue sources, Cochran said in a news release. The grants cover 75 percent of costs for large and medium primary hub airports, and 90 to 95 percent of costs for small primary, reliever and general aviation airports. “I appreciate the fact that communities also use these improvements
to increase the value of their airport facilities as economic development tools,” Cochran said. The grants are: ■ Golden Triangle Regional Airport: $860,802 for airport apron rehabilitation and land acquisition. ■ Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport: $762,587 for taxiway construction. ■ Tupelo Regional Airport: $716,779 for runway safety improvements, fencing installation and runway rehabilitation. ■ Fletcher Field Airport, Clarksdale: $593, 224 for the completion of taxiway construction and runway lighting rehabilitation. ■ Hardy-Anders Field Natchez-Adams County Airport: $555,185 for hangar construction. ■ Columbia-Marion County Airport: $536,384 for airport apron, runway and taxiway rehabilitation.
■ Philadelphia Municipal Airport: $391,177 for construction of a terminal building. ■ Eupora Airport: $374,194 for airport apron, runway and taxiway rehabilitation. ■ Ripley Airport: $367,200 for airport apron rehabilitation. ■ Trent Lott International Airport, Jackson County: $352,620 for instillation of airfield guidance signs, and runway and taxiway rehabilitation. ■ Clarke County Airport: $337,050 for airport apron construction and taxiway construction. ■ Belzoni Municipal Airport: $312,817 for taxiway construction. ■ Paul Pittman Memorial Airport, Walthall County: $298,200 for hangar building rehabilitation. ■ Iuka Airport: $268,875 for runway lighting rehabilitation and airport master plan updates.
ahead with expansion The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — One of the largest employers in Philadelphia and Neshoba County is moving ahead with a $57 million expansion. Expanding and modernizing Weyerhaeuser’s Philadelphia lumber mill is expected to take 10 months, The Meridian Star reports. Company spokesman Monte Simpson said the mill has about 180 workers. He said construction is well underway. Improvements include a new sorting and stacking system that will be in place next year and a new drying kiln that will go online this summer, Simpson said. He said the mill needed to update the equipment in order to meet tougher standards set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. “The new kilns will
comply with the EPA’s more stringent boiler emission standards, effective in January 2016, and offer a variety of operational efficiencies,” Simpson said. “The new kilns will be more energy efficient, less costly to maintain, and process more lumber faster. And in 2016, when the new planer comes on line, productivity is expected to further improve.” Simpson said the Philadelphia mill, bought in 1967 from DeWeese Lumber Co., is one of the company’s longestrunning manufacturing facilities. It produces about 220 million board feet of southern yellow pine 2-inch lumber a year, from 2 by 4 through 2 by 12. Products are shipped to more than 140 customers in 30 states throughout the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast.

Secularists versus suicide bombers “What apparently happened was that the Iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. ... We can give them training, we can give them equipment; we obviously can’t give them the will to fight.” Pat Thus did Defense Secretary Buchanan Ash Carter identify the root cause of the rout of the Iraqi Columnist army in Ramadi. Disgusted U.S. military officers say the 1,000 ISIS fighters who overran Ramadi were outnumbered by the defenders 10 to 1. Why did the Iraqi army run? And what motivated the fighters of ISIS to attack a city. According to battle reports, the assault began when dozens of captured U.S. armored vehicles and trucks were driven by ISIS volunteers to blast huge holes in the defenders’ lines. Iraqis are not cowards. From 1980 to 1988, their fathers died in the scores of thousands defending their country against Iran. But if Iraqis would die for dictator Saddam Hussein, why does today’s Iraqi army seem reluctant to fight for the democratic Haider al-Abadi? And the story of Iraq is the story of Syria. Four years into that civil-sectarian war, the al-Qaida Nusra Front has carved out a sector in Idlib, as have the Islamic State terrorists in Raqqa. Bashar Assad’s army, though bleeding, is still fighting. And the Free Syrian Army we backed? Defunct. Some fought, but others defected to the jihadis, fled or sold their weapons. In Yemen, the Houthi rebels came down from the north to seize Sanaa, drive the president into exile, occupy Aden, and capture huge stockpiles of American weapons. The U.S.-backed army crumbled. Again, why do these rebels seem willing to fight for what we see as antiquated beliefs, but all too often our friends do not fight? Perhaps the answer is found in Thomas Babington Macaulay: “And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his gods?” Tribe and faith. Those are the causes for which Middle Eastern men will fight. Sunni and Shiite fundamentalists will die for the faith. But who among the tribes of the Middle East will fight and die for the secular American values of democracy, diversity, pluralism, sexual freedom and marriage equality? “Expel the Crusaders from our lands!” – there is a cause to die for. Go back to 1983. A jihadist of the Amal militia drove a bomb-laden truck into the Marine barracks in Beirut. In 2000, two suicide bombers steered a tiny boat up alongside the USS Cole in Aden harbor, stood, saluted and blasted a hole in the hull, almost sinking the warship. Nineteen young men volunteered to ride those planes into the Pentagon and the Twin Towers on 9/11. The “underwear bomber” and “shoe bomber” were prepared to go down with those planes. Murderers and would-be murderers all. But according to a new Al-Jazeera poll, the warriors of the Islamic State have many Muslim admirers. In Afghanistan, we have fought the Taliban for 13 years. Yet still they fight. And many fear the Afghan army we trained and armed at a cost of tens of billions will disintegrate when we go home. What do we have on offer? What do we have to persuade Iraqi Sunnis to fight to return their Anbar homeland to the Iranianbacked Shiite regime in Baghdad? Of our Arab allies, the Qataris, Saudis and Gulf Arabs are willing to do air strikes. And the Kurds will fight – for Kurdistan. But if the future belongs to those willing to fight and die for it, or to volunteer to become martyrs, the future of the Middle East would seem fated to be decided by Sunni tribesmen, Shiite militia, ISIS and al-Qaida, Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. In the Middle East, the time of the True Believers appears at hand. (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)
Prayer for today Father of all, I pray that I may always love children. May I never forget that I wanted things and needed things when I was a child, and that the help and neglect which I received then told in my life. Make me interested in the purposes that will help the progress of the child to-day, and may I realize that the child does not need my casual charity as much as it needs my permanent justice. Amen.
A verse to share “For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.” Psalms 135:4
Colleges have grown bloated American colleges and universities, long thought to be the glory of the nation, are in more than a little trouble. I’ve written before of their shameful practices – the racial quotas and preferences at selective schools, the kangaroo courts that try students accused of rape and sexual assault without legal representation or presumption of innocence, and speech codes that make campuses the least rather than the most free venues in American society. In following these policies, the burgeoning phalanxes of university and college administrators must systematically lie, insisting against all the evidence that they are racially nondiscriminatory, devoted to due process and upholders of free speech. The resulting intellectual corruption would have been understood by George Orwell. Alas, even the great strengths of our colleges and universities are threatening to become weaknesses. Sometimes you can get too much of a good thing. American colleges, dating back to Harvard’s founding in 1636, have been modeled on the residential colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. The idea is that students live on or near (sometimes breathtakingly beautiful) cam-
puses, where they can learn from and interact with inspired teachers. American Michael graduate uniBarone versities have been built on Columnist the German professional model. Students are taught by scholars whose Ph.D. theses represent original scholarship, expanding the frontiers of knowledge. That model still works well in math and the hard sciences. In these disciplines it’s rightly claimed that American universities are, as The Economist recently put it in a cover story, “the gold standard” of the world. But not so much in some of the mushier social sciences and humanities. “Just as the American model is spreading around the world,” The Economist goes on, “it is struggling at home.” Consider the Oxford/ Cambridge residential college model. Up through the 1960s, college administrators acted in loco parentis, with responsibilities similar to those of parents. Men’s and women’s dorms were separate and mostly off-limits to the other sex; drinking and drug use were limited; cars were often banned.
The assumption is that 18to 21-year-old students were, in important respects, still children. The 1960s changed all that. Students were regarded as entitled to adult freedoms: unisex dorms and bathrooms, binge drinking, a hookup culture. But now the assumption is that adult-aged students must be coddled like children. They are provided with cadres of counselors, so-called “trigger warnings” against supposedly disturbing course material and kangaroo courts to minutely regulate sexual behavior. Most colleges and universities abroad and many in this country don’t use the residential model. Students live with parents or double up in cheap apartments and – horrors! – commute, like most employed adults. The residential college model, with its bloated ranks of coddler/administrators, has become hugely expensive and increasingly dysfunctional. It’s overdue for significant downsizing. The Ph.D. university model is also metastasizing. A plethora of humanities and social science Ph.D. theses are produced every year, many if not most written in unreadable jargon and devoid of scholarly worth. A glut of Ph.D.s and an ever-increasing army of ad-
ministrators have produced downward pressure on faculty pay. Universities increasingly hire Ph.D.s as underpaid adjuncts, with low wages and no job security. The last half-century has seen a huge increase in the percentage of Americans who go to college and a huge increase in government aid to them. The assumption was that if college is good for some, it’s good for everyone. But not everyone is suited for college: witness the increasing ranks of debt-laden nongraduates. As Glenn Reynolds of instapundit.com has written convincingly, the higher education bubble is now bursting. Colleges are closing; college applications and graduate program enrollments are declining; universities are facing lawsuits challenging the verdicts of their kangaroo courts. Naturally, administrators seek more money. But the money pumped into these institutions is more the problem than the solution.

Prisoner work program cuts are ‘trickle down’ economics STARKVILLE — I’m not particularly surprised that Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher is stepping on the toes of local and county government leaders as he attempts to clean up the mess in operating the state’s prison system left behind by the corruption-riddled regime of former Commissioner Chris Epps. Fisher is the former Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics director who bucked strident opposition from drug manufacturers, politicians, lobbyists and libertarians to get tough legislation passed in the state that required a prescription for law-abiding citizens to purchase pseudoephedrine (a common cold and sinus medicine) as a means to battle the state’s methamphetamine epidemic five years ago. Two years later, meth incidents in the state were down 70 percent. But grousing about “government overreach” and a “loss of freedom” were up about the same amount on talk radio and in letters to editors of the state’s newspapers. No matter. Fisher has never been much of a politician – he’s more the old school cop.

But in taking on the leadership of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, Sid Salter Fisher obviously has Columnist faced stiff headwinds, though none have compared to Fisher’s latest battle – shutting down the Joint State County Work Program on Aug. 1. Prisoners housed in the Joint State County Work in eligible counties perform labor for cities and counties. Essentially, counties were paid $20 per day per inmate to house convicts who provided free or cheap labor in exchange for reduced prison sentences. Local governments got cheap labor with no costs for benefits that would be due actual employees. Inmates generally favored working out of county jails rather than the state’s prisons. The program amounted to a state subsidy for local governments. The state’s Municipal League and the Mississippi Supervisors’ Association are up in arms, complaining
that local governments don’t have the ability to absorb the loss of the inmate labor and replace it with regular county or city employees. Those groups claim they will lose as much as $23 million if the program shuts down. But Fisher says MDOC will save $3.2 million by making the move and that fiscal circumstances require hard choices. The controversy illustrates the new and growing trend in “trickle down” economics. The modern “trickle down” economics works like this – the federal government cuts programs and members of Congress hold press conferences to congratulate themselves on holding the line on spending. Faced with having to assume the expense of more government services that had been paid with federal funds, state governments follow suit by cutting programs and engaging in similar self-congratulatory back patting over holding the line on spending. Eventually, by the process of elimination, local governments are forced to pick up the political and policy slack of either reducing services or finding a way to come up with the additional funding

to pay for the services. The source of the funding – the taxpayer – doesn’t change much in that scenario. A compromise on the Joint State County Work Program in which the state doesn’t pay the $20 per inmate per day “reimbursement” to the local governments is said to be in the works. Such an approach may well prove a short-term fix to the current controversy in a statewide election year. But Fisher’s mandate to clean up the state’s correctional system wasn’t predicated on playing nice or with operating that system as a labor broker for local governments. The legitimate state prisoner labor system shouldn’t be both a revenue stream and a free or cheap labor supply for local governments. Local governments are right about one thing – a workable prison labor system is one that can be a winwin. But only if that system isn’t essentially a state subsidy to a minority of the state’s 82 counties. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state.

Auditorium reopens following expansion NASHVILLE, Tenn. — One of the most sacred live music rooms in the country has just become a little sleeker. The Tennessean reports Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium is ready for its grand reopening after a yearlong, $14 million expansion. Beginning Tuesday, visitors can tour the historic theater, where upgrades include a renovated lobby, more concessions, more bathrooms and more space. The venue’s new restaurant, Cafe Lula, sits outside the theater next to an expanded outdoor box office. The Ryman building was established in 1890 as the Union Gospel Tabernacle. For decades it was home to the Grand Ole Opry. Through the years, its keepers have worked to preserve its signature features. All of the new construction has been done on the portion of the venue that was added in the early 1990s. Â
Civil War Trust push raises $52 million RICHMOND, Va. — The Civil War Trust has surpassed its $40 million goal in a campaign to protect 64 battle-

Sentencing delayed for Epps, McCrory JACKSON — Sentencings for former Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps and businessman Cecil McCrory have been delayed. Epps pleaded guilty in February to two felony bribery counts, while McCrory pleaded guilty to one count. Epps’ sentencing had been scheduled Tuesday, while McCrory’s had been scheduled Wednesday. On May 19, U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate delayed those dates indefinitely. State Auditor Stacey Pickering has said he expects more people to be charged. Both Epps and McCrory must cooperate with federal prosecutors as part of their pleas, and prosecutors typically delay sentencing until cooperation is complete. Â
McEntire, Rucker perform at awards NEW YORK — Reba McEntire will make a return to the CMT Awards stage after a 10-year absence. The country star will perform at Wednesday’s awards show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Darius Rucker also has been added to the lineup of performers; he will sing outdoors. Other performers at the 2015 CMT Awards will include Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban and Sam Hunt. Lady Antebellum will hit the stage, too, with DJ-producer Zedd for a country-EDM mashup. Underwood is the leader with five nominations. Presenters include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Ray Cyrus, Cole Swindell, David Spade and Hunter Hayes. Â
Rare deadly shooting kills one, injures two WALNUT GROVE — Walnut Grove police are investigating the first deadly shooting in the town in 36 years. WAPT-TV reported that Tonya Johnson, 38, died after suffering multiple gunshots Saturday afternoon. Walnut Grove police Chief Kevin Polk said the shooting happened outside the home and the disturbance carried into the house. Two men were also shot. The Leake County coroner says Donald Johnson was shot twice and Luke Barton was shot once. Their conditions are unknown. Â
Actress’ daughter, 18, dies in Florida WINDERMERE, Fla. — The 18-year-old daughter of the stars of the documentary “Queen of Versailles� died after being found unresponsive at their home near Orlando on Saturday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Victoria Siegel was found by deputies at the family’s home in Windermere on Saturday afternoon, sheriff’s office spokesman Jeff Williamson said. She was declared dead at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee a short time later. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death. She was the daughter of David and Jackie Siegel, stars of Lauren Greenfield’s 2012 documentary, “Queen of Versailles,� which followed them as they built a second 90,000-squarefoot mansion. David Siegel later sued Greenfield for “false and defamatory statements� but lost the lawsuit in March 2014.
Revenue collections less than expected JACKSON — Mississippi tax collections for May were $107.2 million below what state officials had expected. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports the shortfall leaves revenue $84.5 million below what officials estimated would be collected through May. The fiscal year ends June 30. While disappointed with the revenue collections, House Appropriations Chair Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, said the state’s fiscal condition is healthy. He says the state has strong cash reserves to make up the shortfall. The Legislature left
about $430 million in reserve accounts during the 2015 session, which ended in early April. Â
Restructuring closes Dexter High School TYLERTOWN — The Walthall County School District is restructuring the Dexter Attendance Center, currently serving students in grades K-12. The school will be reorganized as a K-6 school for the 2015-16 school year. Students in the 7th12th grades will attend other district schools. Schools Superintendent Cynthia Magee tells the Enterprise-Journal the closing was due to a declining enrollment and a drop in per-pupil funding from the state, which is based on students’ average daily attendance.

McCullough named development chief JACKSON — Glenn McCullough officially began his tenure Monday as executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority. The Daily Journal reports the former Tupelo mayor and Tennessee Valley Authority chairman already has begun the transition in the weeks since his appointment by Gov. Phil Bryant. 60-year-old McCullough has praised Bryant, saying the governor is a nonstop economic developer himself who is an important asset to the authority effort. McCullough is replacing Brent Christensen, who already has left Mississippi after three years as the authority’s executive director to take over as chief executive officer and president for the Greensboro Partnership
in North Carolina. Â
Hernando joining cleanup program HERNANDO — Hernando has signed up for a state “brownfieldsâ€? program to entice private-sector developers to clean up and reuse contaminated sites. The Commercial Appeal reports the announcement follows the aldermen’s vote to designate two former Reliable Equipment parcels along U.S. 51 as eligible for the state’s Redevelopment Act. Mayor Chip Johnson and other city leaders say it’s the next step in a process to return contaminated, inactive properties to job and revenue producers. The old garage parcels were found tainted by EarthCon consultants acting under a $400,000 brownfields assessment grant to the city from the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Â
Pearl River County cars to be marked POPLARVILLE — Pearl River County supervisors have voted to place county seals on unmarked and incorrectly labeled vehicles. Supervisor Malcolm Perry says Mississippi state law requires county vehicles to have markers on both sides and the rear. The requirement also applies to leased vehicles. Perry tells The Picayune Item he found his county truck — and many others — is only marked on the side. The only vehicles exempt are those of the sheriff’s department if supervisors identify them in board minutes.

Officer on leave following footage The Associated Press
McKINNEY, Texas — A suburban Dallas police officer has been placed on administrative leave after a video was posted online showing him pushing a 14-year-old girl in a swimsuit to the ground and pointing his gun at other teens. McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley said at a news conference Sunday that the incident began when officers responded Friday night to a report of a disturbance involving a group of black youths at a neighborhood pool party. The police department said the youths do not live in the area and did not have permission to be at the pool. When officers arrived, residents and private security pointed out the juveniles who were “creating the disturbance, fighting and refusing to leave,” Conley said. As officers dispersed the crowd, the 14-yearold girl was “temporarily detained” by an officer, said Conley, who did not describe what led to her detainment. The video shows the apparently white officer pulling the bikini-clad black girl to the ground then seemingly using his knees to pin her down. He can also be seen pointing his gun at other teens and cursing. Conley did not identify the police officer or the girl seen in the video, or comment on the officer’s race or that of the young people involved. McKinney is an affluent, predominantly white city. Most of the kids seen in the video are black.
Officer who shot fleeing man indicted The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — It didn’t take long for a grand jury in South Carolina to indict a white former city policeman for murder in the shooting death of a black man who tried to flee from a traffic stop. State investigators presented the case against former North Charleston officer Michael Slager to a Charleston County grand jury on Monday and prosecutor Scarlett Wilson announced the indictment a few hours later. A bystander’s cellphone video shows Slager firing eight times as 50-year-old Walter Scott tried to run away on April 4. The killing enflamed a national debate about how black people are treated by white police officers. But it caused no unrest in North Charleston,
where community leaders and Scott’s family praised the government’s swift response. Slager was charged with murder by state law enforcement agents and fired from the police force immediately after Scott’s family released the video. The indictment of Slager is the fourth in less than six months in which a grand jury in South Carolina has agreed that white officers should stand trial in the shootings of black men. The grand jury that reviewed the shooting of Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, met weekly for three months, hearing from 60 witnesses. Saint Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch then spoke nearly 45 minutes, describing how jurors “poured their hearts and souls into this process”
before deciding not to indict anyone in Brown’s death. Angry protests and riots ensued. When riots in Baltimore followed the death in police custody of another young black man, Freddie Gray, State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby charged six officers with crimes and then spent two weeks presenting evidence to a grand jury that affirmed nearly all the charges. “To the youth of this city, I will seek justice on your behalf. This is a moment. This is your moment,” Mosby said in a passionate speech. Wilson, by contrast, made no speeches. She called reporters to her office to announce the indictment, and made very few comments. Asked about the importance of the cellphone video of Scott’s death, she acknowledged that it’s helpful to have evidence
that “depicts the crime, and we aren’t having to rely just on people’s perceptions.” That said, “just because you have video in a case doesn’t mean it’s the be-all and endall and the case is over,” she said. “The jury will be able to make up their own mind after seeing the video and hearing the testimony.” Slager said he initially tried to stun Scott with his Taser when both men scuffled over the stun gun and he fired his handgun at Scott in selfdefense. The video shows the men briefly scuffling before Scott runs away and the officer fires at Scott’s back. Slager, 33, faces 30 years to life without parole if convicted. Wilson said the death penalty doesn’t apply because there are no aggravating circumstances such as
robbery or kidnapping. His defense lawyer, Andy Savage, said he won’t comment “until we have an opportunity to fully evaluate the state’s case and to compare it with our own investigation.” Walter Scott’s brother Rodney Scott said the family is “very happy and pleased” with the indictment. “This is just an example of if you keep the faith, even in the darkest times, you will see the light,” said Chris Stewart, a lawyer for Scott’s family who is preparing to file wrongful death civil suit against the city. “We are going to patiently wait for the criminal trial in this case and we are going to patiently wait to see if the city, the police department and the chief are going to take responsibility in the civil suit,” Stewart added.
Broader sex assault probes leave victims hanging The Associated Press
Olivia Ortiz was elated when the U.S. Department of Education contacted her in June of 2013 to tell her it was opening an investigation into her complaint that the University of Chicago had mishandled her sexual assault case. A junior at the time, she had run out of options on campus after a dean decided against an investigation and instead recommended an informal mediation between her and a student she said had assaulted her in the spring of her freshman year. Finally, Ortiz said, she felt someone was on her side. Two years later, Ortiz is still waiting. The reason: a burgeoning backlog at the education department that advocates say is leaving victims to languish longer without resolution, and could discourage others from coming forward at all. “I definitely appreciate the Department of Education taking their time,” said Ortiz, who has since left campus and moved back in with her parents in Arizona, citing anxi-
Are You an Addict? They were addicted to it, the whole family. I am sure their friends and extended family noticed the changes. There were signs. They were not the same people anymore. They seemed to change. The things they once enjoyed, they stopped altogether. All their thoughts and actions were consumed by their addiction. They withdrew themselves from their normal lifestyle. They did all they could to be around the people with the same addiction. They said that, “They were the only ones that understood what they were going through.” They were spending whatever extra money they had for this addiction. They were suffering for this addiction. Society looked down on them and hunted people with the same addiction. This is what the Bible said about this family, “I beseech you, brethren, ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints” (1 Cor. 16:15, KJV). That is quite an addiction. This addiction changed their lives. They were no longer the same people. “But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness” (Rom. 6:17-18). They could no longer hang out with the same people. “In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you” (1 Pet. 4:4). Their thoughts and actions were consumed by this addiction. “Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:1-5). The addiction this family had was in service to the saints and to Christ, “‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me’” (Matt. 25:39-40). What would you look like if you were addicted to the work of the Lord? What would your family look like? Would people notice your addiction? Paul said of the house of Stephanas that they were helpers, laborers and refreshing both to himself and the Corinthians. True addicts of Christ and His example are a blessing to those around them. Paul did not want the brethren at Rome to imitate, or conform to, the world and its practices. He instructed them to daily reshape their minds.

ety about continuing her studies in an environment where she felt unsafe. “But for me, I just wanted some immediate relief. I feel like sometimes there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.” College students who believe their schools mishandled their allegations of sexual assault have increasingly opted to use the federal gender discrimination statute known as Title IX to press the institutions for stronger action. Last May, the department made public a list of 59 schools under investigation for Title IX complaints. As of May 27, the agency had 123 open sexual assault cases at 113 schools across the country. Those complaints are not criminal cases, but if a university is found to be in violation of Title IX, it risks losing federal funding, a massive piece of most schools’ budgets. At the same time, the department has altered its approach to investigating such complaints. Instead of assessing them as isolated cases, the agency now sees each one as an opportunity for a broader assessment of a school’s overall compliance. Advocates praise the department’s commit-
ment to evaluating the culture of each college under investigation. But the spike in complaints and the broader scope of the responses have swamped the department’s investigators. Groups that support victims worry that the lengthy reviews, which may bring improvements to the universities in question, wind up stranding the people filing the complaints. The long wait for a resolution also extends the anguish for anyone wrongly accused. And it frustrates schools as they seek vindication of their efforts to make campuses safer. Even before the department adopted its more comprehensive approach, Title IX investigations could take years. Part of that lengthy timeline has to do with a lack of funding and, more specifically, staffing. In 2014, the education department received more than 10,000 complaints under Title IX, a broad law that bans gender-based discrimination in federally funded programs. Less than 10 percent of those complaints related to sexual assault, but the department’s Office of Civil Rights had to field all 10,000.
There is no special unit to handle sexual assault complaints despite their sensitive nature, and investigators juggle dozens of cases at once dealing with all aspects of gender discrimination. Today, the department is opening more sexual assault investigations than it is closing, with some still pending after four years. In his 2016 budget, President Barack Obama proposed a 31 percent increase for the Office of Civil Rights, which would allow it to add 210 fulltime staff members to its roster of 544. “Do we need more people? Absolutely,” Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary of the Office of Civil Rights, recently told The Associated Press. “My staff are carrying 20-25 cases a person on average at any given time, that’s a very, very burdensome caseload. I’d like to see more people to move these cases, because I think that’s what the scope of civil rights demands.” When she was appointed in 2013, Lhamon decided that instead of focusing on the specific incident that spurred a particular complaint, investigators should solicit as much information as possible from a school to
identify any patterns. “We are more systemic in the way we evaluate because I think that’s the way to get at civil rights compliance more effectively,” Lhamon said. “Sometimes a complaint says, ‘I went to my school, it didn’t handle it well, I think that’s a Title IX violation.’ We can tell what happened about that complaint, but it’s better to look at the school’s policies, and other case files, to see if what happened to that student is an aberration.” Some advocates say expanding the scope of investigations has serious ramifications for those waiting for their complaints to be resolved. “Now, OCR will look at everything, from soup to nuts. That’s a great thing, but it’s terrible for victims,” said Colby Bruno, senior legal counsel at Victim Rights Law Center, a nonprofit that offers services to sexual assault victims. “The problem with OCR right now is that it utterly fails to provide remedies to individual victims. If you can’t provide a remedy for a complaint, you’re going to lose complainants. Now it’s, ‘Thanks for the complaint, we’ll see you in four years while we do a compliance review.’”
Escaped killers may have had inside help The Associated Press
DANNEMORA, N.Y. — Investigators are looking into whether civilian employees or outside contractors helped two murderers obtain the power tools they used to break out of a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border, New York’s governor said Monday. As the manhunt continued for the third day, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a round of appearances on morning news shows that he would be shocked if a prison guard was involved in the escape from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. Officials said David
Sweat, 34, and Richard Matt, 48, cut through steel walls at the back of their adjacent cells and sliced through steel pipes while making their “Shawshank Redemption”-style breakout, which guards discovered early Saturday. Investigators are questioning hundreds of civilian employees and the contractors who have been doing extensive renovations at the 170-yearold prison, Cuomo said. “We’re going through the civilian employees and private contractors first,” he said on NBC’s “Today” show. “I’d be shocked if a correction guard was involved in

this, but they definitely had help. Otherwise, they couldn’t have done this on their own.” A $100,000 reward was posted over the weekend for information leading to men’s capture. Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole for the 2002 killing of a sheriff’s deputy. Matt had been sentenced to 25 years to life for kidnapping, killing and dismembering his former boss in 1997. “These are killers. They are murderers,” the governor said. “They are now on the loose, and our first order of business is apprehending them.” Officials gave no details on how the men managed to avoid detection while cutting their way out. “They had to be heard,” Cuomo told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Sunday. Hundreds of law enforcement officers fanned out around the prison, following up on dozens of tips. Authorities set up roadblocks and brought in bloodhounds and helicopters. Dubbed “Little Siberia” by locals, the prison houses nearly 3,000 inmates, guarded by about 1,400 officers. Surrounded by
farmland and forests, the prison is about a 45-minute drive to Montreal. Cuomo said the inmates may have crossed into Canada, about 20 miles away, or headed to another state or Mexico, where Matt served time for killing a man in 1998. Prison officials found the inmates’ beds stuffed with clothes on Saturday morning in an apparent attempt to fool guards making their rounds. On a cut steam pipe, the prisoners left a taunting note containing a crude caricature of an Asian face and the words “Have a nice day.” Officials said the inmates cut through a steel wall, crawled down a catwalk, broke through a brick wall, cut their way into and out of a steam pipe, and then sliced through the chain and lock on a manhole cover outside the prison. Martin Horn, a former New York City correction commissioner and a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said the two inmates had to “obtain some fairly sophisticated tools,” either from the prison, which he said maintains an inventory of its tools, or from an outside contractor.

PALMER CONTINUED FROM 2
case files in the names of other agents.” Charge II accused him of falsifying and forging 54 vouchers “for the purchase of information and evidence.” (Under the rules, two agents must sign each voucher as a safeguard for checking money out to make drug buys and pay informants.) Palmer told The Clarion-Ledger the situation arose because two officers were out of the Tupelo district. Left short-handed, he said he had to get involved in the cases himself. As captain, he didn’t have the authority to sign out drug buy money so he said he forged other officers’ signatures. He acknowledged it was a violation of policy but said “no money was taken.” At the time, the bureau gave him a polygraph, and he showed “significant reaction” to the following questions: ■ “Did you ever use any buy money for personal use?” ■ “Did you ever use any buy money that you signed out for personal use?” ■ “Did you ever withhold any buy money from any CIs (confidential informants)?” “Palmer failed his polygraph,” the report concluded. In a conversation with The Clarion-Ledger, Palmer insisted he never knew the results of the polygraph test. A day after his suspension, his lawyer, Tony Farese, faxed the bureau’s attorney his client’s resignation letter along with a note. “As you know, Captain Palmer denied any criminal conduct in this matter, and you have represented to me that Director Fisher has assured us there will be no criminal action arising out of this disciplinary matter,” Farese wrote. In a 2014 letter, the bureau’s lead counsel wrote that the agency concluded there was “no money actually diverted by Palmer. … There was no definitive determination as to whether Palmer financially benefitted.” Fisher said he could not comment because it involved personnel matters. For the next several years, Palmer sold insurance, worked as a social worker and taught school. But in 2010, he started back in law enforcement, becoming a narcotics officer for the Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department. Tishomingo County Sheriff Whitlock said he never saw any of the Narcotics Bureau’s allegations against Palmer, including that he forged other officers’ names on drug buy vouchers. Asked if he had seen similar problems with Palmer there, the sheriff said Palmer “worked through the North Mississippi Narcotics Task Force. I never saw any of the paperwork.” He said what he heard about the polygraph Palmer took was it was “inconclusive.” He praised Palmer. “He took drug dealers off the street. He seemed to be doing a good job. All of a sudden the DA drops all these charges.” Asked if there were problems with those cases, the sheriff responded no. “They’re all documented,” he said. “Something smells like a dead opossum.” As a deputy, Palmer rose through the ranks until he became assistant chief deputy. “I thought he walked on water,” recalled former fellow deputy Randy Cornelison. “He was a hell of a worker. He would bring 80 to 100 cases to the grand jury in a year when other guys were bringing only 10.” But the more time that
passed, the more questions Cornelison began to have. He said Palmer shared how he sometimes got inside homes without warrants — placing fake 911 domestic disturbance calls and then following police inside. He said Palmer also shared that he made up probable causes to stop cars. Cornelison recalled finding what appeared to be oxycodone tablets inside a Tishomingo County home on Aug. 30, 2012. When Palmer arrived, “I gave him all of the seized narcotics that I had found,” Cornelison wrote in his supplement report. Working the next day on the arrest report, he realized he didn’t have the exact number of tablets seized. He wrote that he contacted Palmer and asked him “to let me know of the final count so I could put an actual number in my arrest report. … The final count he gave me was six tablets. … “I had not counted them prior to giving them to Jeff Palmer, but would have made an estimate that there were 10 to 14 tablets total.” Weeks passed, and the more Cornelison thought about it, the more concerned he became. He said he realized he couldn’t testify he found only six tablets. “I struggled, so I did a supplemental report and explained what happened,” he said. Before this, he had been Deputy of the Quarter, a “golden boy, but once that supplemental report showed up, that was the end of me,” he said. “I went from being a good employee to being a piece of crap.” These days, he works as an officer for the Belmont Police Department. Palmer’s estranged wife, Leigh, agreed that her husband worked hard. “He had 10 times more cases than anybody else,” she said. Law enforcement agencies loved her husband because of how many arrests he made and how many assets he seized through drug arrests, she said. “One deputy told me, ‘Jeff will do paperwork to seize anything. It doesn’t matter how old it is.’”
Questionable cases Pam Oliver recalled Palmer in 2013 arresting her daughter, Haley, now 20, and charging her with selling spice. Her daughter had never been in trouble before, she said. “First, he told me he was confiscating her vehicle for selling
drugs.” That vehicle happened to be a Hummer. “I got the impression he thought it was my daughter’s car,” Oliver said. “But it was in my name.” Then Palmer switched gears to concern, she said, saying her daughter was young and he didn’t want to see these charges ruin her life. If Oliver would turn over the Hummer, the charges would go away, she quoted Palmer as saying. She said she asked him if he was trying to help her daughter, why did he want the Hummer? “He told me to just think about it and to decide if it was worth the charges going away,” she said. She turned down Palmer’s offer and finally saw the evidence that purported to implicate her daughter. On an audiotape, two females talk about picking up Adderall, and a male voice can be heard, too, but no one is identified. On two videos, someone besides her daughter appears to be selling marijuana. On another, an apparent confidential informant enters a store, where there are two females. It’s difficult to identity them and even more difficult to hear the conversation. The video ends abruptly. Her daughter’s charges have finally been dismissed. “It’s been a nightmare for two years,” Oliver said. “My daughter just sits and cries.” Barbara Jordan did turn over her family’s car to Palmer so he would drop any potential charges against her grandson. “It was a 2006 Buick Lucerne,” she said. “It was my husband’s last car.”
Life in ruins, case tossed James Anthony Cooksey spent more than 16 years in prison for manslaughter — something the 49-year-old native said he was guilty of. But he insists he is not guilty of selling drugs. In June 2014, Palmer accused him of selling drugs, and Cooksey was hauled to jail. As a result of those charges, he said he lost his job, his wife and his home. He now lives in a camper trailer. “They have ruint me,” he said. He had a Nissan Altima, but he had to sell it, he said. “It cost me over $900 to get out of jail.” Everyone knows of his arrest on a charge of selling drugs, and no one is willing to hire him, he said. “I sold my refrigerator today for $25.”

Two videos purport to show Cooksey selling drugs to a young woman — but no sale can be seen or heard on either video. When the woman, working as a confidential informant, returned to the vehicle with Palmer, she said, “OK, we’ve got two Percocets, a Roxicodone and an oxycodone.” (All these different names contain the same narcotic painkiller, oxycodone.) By the time the report was made, however, the number of pills had increased. Now Cooksey was accused of selling two Percocets, four Roxicontins and one oxycodone for $60. A few paragraphs later in the same report, the number of Percocets dropped by one. By the time the Tupelo Crime Lab received the evidence in 2014, the amount had fallen again, this time to five pills. The lab’s conclusion? Only two tablets it tested were controlled substances — both containing oxycodone. Last month, a judge threw out the case against Cooksey. Until all of this happened, he had faith in the American justice system, he said. “I’m one of the lucky ones. I could prove my innocence. There are others who can’t.”
Pressured to confess? Amanda Hicks, 37, had never been convicted of a felony until she purchased a box of Sudafed in 2010 (when the medicine could still be purchased over the counter in Mississippi without a prescription). Supposedly tipped off by a clerk where she made the purchase, Palmer pulled Hicks over. She said he repeatedly asked where the pills were going and she repeatedly
answered to her house. Palmer became angry and picked up a piece of lawn grass from her car, she said. “He said, ‘I told you I’d give you one more chance.’” She is quoted in her statement as saying, “Investigator Palmer found some marijuana seeds in my car, but they are not mine. … The dope in the car was not mine.” She said the statement, which she refused to sign, is not true and pointed to the fact she has yet to see a test or report that proves there were any marijuana seeds or residue in her car. At the advice of her attorney, she pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to make meth. “He said if I didn’t plead guilty, I would go to prison,” she said. Under the plea agreement, she received a 15year suspended sentence, plus probation. When she later tested positive for marijuana, she wound up in drug court. “Everything happens for a reason,” she said. “Drug court got me back on the right track.” Now she hopes she can get her felony conviction dismissed because of Palmer’s actions, she said. “No telling how many people went to prison because of him.” When The Clarion-Ledger tried to ask Palmer about allegations raised by his former employer, former co-workers, defendants and their families, he responded, “I’m not going to make any more comments about any of these matters.”
Bringing home drugs Palmer and his wife, Leigh, married June 20, 2009 — more than three years after they first started dating. She worked as a den-
tal hygienist and was the couple’s major breadwinner when he was a teacher. But in less than three years, she had four surgeries, three for her back and one for cancer. She was frequently in pain and depressed, she said. After her husband began working as a deputy, he started bringing home prescription drugs, hoping the painkillers might enable her to go back to work, she said. He explained that some had come from a drug drop-off program at the jail and others from old evidence, she said. “Sometimes he brought them home in evidence bags. He said he had dropped them into evidence bags.” Other times, the drugs came in pill bottles with other people’s names on them, she said. She also recalled him borrowing cash from drug buy money to pay bills. Asked about his wife’s claims, Palmer called her “a liar. That’s just her being crazy and scornful.” There is no debate about what happened next — she became addicted to painkillers, and her family put her in a detox center. “This is something I never thought would happen to me,” she said. She has volunteered to take a polygraph — something authorities have not taken her up on. The couple separated in September 2013, and Palmer filed for divorce in February 2014, accusing her of taking drugs. She responded in court papers that he condoned her drug use. Their divorce trial is set for August, she said. “I believe all this happened for a reason. I have my life back.” (This story is reprinted with premission from The Clarion-Ledger.)

Wholesale companies have been increasing their stockpiles in recent months even as sales have been declining. Stockpiles edged up 0.1 percent in March following a 0.2 percent rise a month earlier. At the same time, sales at the wholesale level fell 0.2 percent after sliding 0.6 percent in February.

Teacher questions what to do about graduation WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: Graduation is coming up, and I don’t know what to do. You see, most of the seniors aren’t qualified to graduate at all. Some of them have been truant for half of the years they were here. At least 15 seniors were absent from class for their entire senior year, and at least 20 percent lack grade-level reading and writing skills. For some, college will be impossible. Every year, we have “alumni” who return to school because they either graduated without necessary credentials or flunked out of college and need academic help. I never give passing grades to kids who don’t show up to class, but if they perform some token service, the school graduates them anyway. Should I go to this year’s graduation ceremony? I haven’t gone in two years, and when asked, I say why. Sometimes I worry that I appear unkind, because this is a low-income, troubled neighborhood and high school graduation means a lot to these families. I just don’t like what I see as a deception because either the parents haven’t made sure the kids go to school, or the school lies to the kids and tells them everything is fine. What do you suggest? — Teacher
Annie’s Mailbox Dear Teacher: There is only so much you can do, and you are already doing it. We understand that you don’t feel it is fair for kids to graduate when they haven’t done the work, shown up for class or achieved the required standards. You are already giving these kids flunking grades. But unless the other teachers and the school administration are willing to hold them back, they will graduate anyway. And your school is not the only one that operates in this fashion. While it serves no purpose for parents or kids to believe graduation will happen whether or not it’s deserved, for some, the humiliation of not graduating doesn’t spur them to achieve more. It makes them give up. Ask yourself what you hope to accomplish as an educator, and then seek the best way to achieve it. Dear Annie: I have a friend who, after lots of medical assistance, was
finally able to get pregnant and have a little girl 18 months ago. Now, with further assistance, she is pregnant with twins. It’s exciting but expensive to give a baby shower. What is the proper etiquette? I really like her, and she was the matron of honor at my wedding three years ago. We worked together then and now have lunch once every month or so, but we are no longer super-close. — Second Baby Shower? Dear Second: Are you asking whether you should host twice or attend twice? You are not obligated to do either, but it is especially onerous to host a second baby shower, so you are off the hook for that. Many women opt not to have second baby showers, because they already were provided with plenty of nice things that can be handed down to a second child. With twins, however, the need is greater, so a second shower is understandable. But it should not overburden people who gave generously the first time. Guests should include only close family, very close friends and those who were not invited to the first baby shower.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Look for the highly popular 2015-2016 Corinth Visitors Guide in the Saturday, June 20 edition.
Meet comments about biracial child with humor, pride for all D E A R ABBY: May I comment on the letter from “OpenMinded in Pennsylvania” (3/6), Abigail the adoptive Van Buren mother of a biracial child who asked Dear Abby for a witty comeback for strangers’ comments/questions? This is a rare teaching moment! If a parent reacts with the slightest hint of displeasure, the child will think the parent is displeased with her/him. We adopted a daughter of a different race 29 years ago. When I received comments/ questions from acquaintances and strangers, my face would light up, and I’d respond, “Oh, we adopted her! She is Filipino! We are so blessed to have her in our lives!” Usually, the person would smile and say something positive. The rare times someone didn’t, we would hurry on with a wave and a smile, and I would hug her close. Our daughter has grown up proud of her ethnic background and knowing she’s special. She is now married and the proud mother of two biracial children. -- JUDY IN TEXAS
DEAR JUDY: You handled the situation beautifully. I heard from a slew of adoptive parents after printing that letter. Let me share some of their comments: DEAR ABBY: Thirty years ago, we adopted two baby girls of a different race from ours. Our adoption social worker gave us some insightful advice about what to do when someone made a bigoted or ignorant remark. She said: “Always remember your child is watching you to see how she is supposed to feel about what has just happened. If you become upset and defensive, your children will feel that way too and begin to believe something is ‘wrong’ about them and your family. So take the role of teacher and educate the ignorant person. Keep it light, add humor if you can, and then chuckle later with your child and other family members about the silly dumbness of a few people in the world.” It worked for us. -ANTONIA, MOTHER OF TWO DEAR ABBY: When my adopted son from Bogota, Colombia, was about 4 months old, we were shopping for groceries one day.
A woman approached our cart and asked, “Where is he from?” I smiled and replied, “Heaven!” -- KATHY IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: I employ a strategy I learned from your column. I face the questioner with a smile and say, “I am stunned that you would ask such a personal thing!” The look on the asker’s face is priceless. And it makes it quite clear that I have no obligation to respond to anything someone may choose to ask. To that mother: Hold your head high, radiate pride in your precious child, and know all’s right in your world. -- PAT IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful grandchild of mixed race. When I’m asked insensitive questions like, “What is he?” I smile, hold him close, and respond, “He’s PERFECT -don’t you think?” -- PROUD GRAN IN SOUTH CAROLINA Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). People fail all the time without becoming failures. Separate the person from the deed. The same goes for success. Don’t confuse the success of a project with the success of a person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many people resist change -change couldn’t care less. It unfolds, marches on, carries out -- it happens. Those putting up resistance often don’t make a lick of difference. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one who continually puts his needs before yours will not magically stop doing this because it bothers you. The behavior will continue until a boundary is set. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you find that you’re taking it all a little too seriously, just stop and start again. You can begin anew at any time of any day. Today brings an unlimited number of “do-overs.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re all too aware of what ev-
eryone around you wants, and you’ll find it very difficult not to try to satisfy those wants. Address your own needs instead. That’s when the miracles will start happening. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The spoils never go to the mediocre performers. That’s why you want to be outstanding. It’s what drives you to achieve at a higher level than is commonly expected. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You try not to have expectations of others that they’re not likely to meet. Extend that kindness to yourself. Unreasonable expectations are unkind. If you can do just a little bit better than the last time, that’s enough for now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are self-sufficient to a degree, but you still need people, and your life will be better for reaching out and asking for help. This afternoon brings an earth sign with something meaningful to contribute to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Someone in your midst has a way of dominating the energy of the room. Give your attention sparingly to reset the balance. Other people’s problems do not automatically have to become yours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s no reason to let a conflict drag on, as it should be easy to resolve now. Chance is on your side. The best solution could very well be a flip of the coin. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You put people’s feelings first. This way of prioritizing suddenly makes things simple. Tonight, speak with precision because you’ll be taken at your word and interpreted quite literally. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A Japanese proverb says that the silent man is the best to listen to. This is why so many ears turn toward you today. You’re not in the mood to chat or volunteer opinions, but wisdom radiates from you anyway.

The Life Of Helen Keller
Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Just before her second birthday, she became sick with a high fever which caused her to suddenly be both deaf and blind. Helen created her own way to communicate. Hand gestures and grunts were all she knew to do. As she grew older, communicating became harder. No one understood what she was trying to say. Helen’s behavior became out-of-control when she was about six years old, and Anne Sullivan, a teacher of the blind, started to help her. Mrs. Sullivan had also been blind as a child, but she had her sight restored through surgery. She was a constant companion to Helen for the remainder of her life. She was able to teach Helen how to sign letters into others’ hands to tell them something and to recognize the letters in return. This opened Helen up to the rest of the world. Mrs. Sullivan went on to teach her to read Braille, as well as “hearing” what others were saying by simply touching their mouths or throats while they spoke. Eventually, Helen learned how to talk. In her early twenties, Helen attended Radcliffe College with Mrs. Sullivan’s help and graduated in 1904 with honors. She went on to become an author and ADHD, Agoraphobia, Arthritis, Autism, lecturer. She raised more money for the American Blindness, Cerebral Palsy, Color Blind, Foundation for the Deaf and Blind than any other Cystic Fibrosis, Deafness, Depression, single person in history. Helen Keller overcame Dyslexia, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular her disabilities and devoted her life to helping others with the same disabilities. She died on June 1, Dystrophy, Paralysis, Parkinson’s, 1968, at the age of 87. Tinnitus

Moody sidelined by stress fracture The Associated Press
OXFORD — Mississippi guard Stefan Moody is expected to be sidelined for at least two months because of a stress fracture in his lower left leg. The school released a statement on Monday saying that Moody’s injury was discovered last week and he has already had surgery. He is expected to miss 8-12 weeks while he recovers. Moody, a 5-foot-10 rising senior, led the Rebels with 16.6 points per game last season, helping Ole Miss advance to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons. Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said in the statement that, “Stef is a very strong young man, who we expect to make a complete recovery before the start of team workouts in the fall.”

Vanderbilt advances to CWS BY DAVID MERCER Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Dansby Swanson was sure you couldn’t script a better afternoon than the one he had Monday. He’s right. Swanson scored the goahead run in a 4-2 struggle against Illinois, eliminating the Illini and helping the defending national champion Commodores return to the College World Series. The shortstop and his teammates celebrated on the field with Detroit Tiger and former Commodore David Price, who used an off day to catch the
game. And, oh yeah, minutes after the win, the Arizona Diamondbacks picked Swanson first in the Major League Baseball draft. He was the first of three Commodores, along with pitchers Carson Fulmer and Walker Buehler, expected to be first-round picks Monday. “Yeah, I can’t complain, that’s for sure,” Swanson said. “Surreal moment.” While the Commodores celebrated, Illinois (50-10-1) tried to figure out what went wrong. “It was just tough going down like that,” right fielder
Casey Fletcher, who appeared to have been crying, said. “We thought we had an Obamabound team.” The Commodores (47-19) ground their way past Illinois’ most-talented pitcher, lefthanded reliever Tyler Jay, who was making just his second start since high school. Jay himself was drafted a little later, at No. 6 by the Minnesota Twins. And Vanderbilt got a gritty six-inning start from another player with a tough-to-script story, lefty Philip Pfeifer. Pfeifer missed all of the Commodores’ championship season after failing a drug test in
2013. He struggled early Monday, giving Illinois multiple base runners in each of the first three innings. But the Illini scratched out just the two runs. And then Pfeifer found his control. “If I’ve learned anything the past two years, it’s going to look bad before it looks good,” said Pfeifer, who just added to the Vanderbilt starting rotation midway through this season. After losing 13-0 in the opener Saturday, Illinois had to wait an extra day to try to Please see VANDY | 13
MSU, UMass OK three-game series The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State and Massachusetts have agreed to a three-game football series that begins in 2016 with a game at Gillette Stadium, which is the home of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. UMass will make return trips to Mississippi State in 2017 and 2020. Mississippi State, which announced the UMass series on Monday afternoon, needed to fill a hole in its 2016 schedule after Tulane backed out of a previously scheduled game last month. Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin said in a statement that “we appreciate UMass working with us on short notice.” The Bulldogs will be playing in an NFL stadium for the sixth time in seven seasons. It will be the first meeting between the two programs in football.

Bears sign CB Tracy Porter LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears signed veteran cornerback Tracy Porter to a one-year contract Monday to bolster their secondary. Heading into his eighth NFL season, Porter is best known for his clinching 74-yard interception return touchdown for New Orleans against Indianapolis in the 2010 Super Bowl. Porter played four seasons in New Orleans, then one season each in Denver, Oakland and Washington. He will be reunited with Bears general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox. Pace was with the Saints when Porter played there, and Fox coached the Broncos in 2012.

NCAA approves 30-second shot clock The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — College basketball is undergoing a major overhaul next season. Men’s teams will use a faster shot clock — 30 seconds instead of 35 seconds — and have fewer timeouts, while women’s teams will play four 10-minute quarters instead of two 20-minute halves. All of it became official Monday when the NCAA’s Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a series of chang-
es that everybody hopes will improve the game. It’s hardly a surprise after the men’s and women’s rules committees made separate sweeping recommendations in May. The men’s committee had spent months debating how to increase scoring and speed up play, especially late when flurries of fouls and timeouts made games seemingly drag on endlessly and needlessly. The most notable change will be trimming the shot
clock to 30 seconds, the first modification since it was cut from 45 seconds to 35 for the 1993-94 season. The panel also approved cutting the number of timeouts each team can use in the second half from four to three and eliminating some of the extra stoppages by using any timeout called within 30 seconds of a media timeout as the scheduled break. Committee members are hoping that will eliminate the occa-
sional double timeouts that occur when there is no natural break around the 16-, 12-, 8- and 4-minute marks. The move came as a result of data showing a drop of approximately five points per game last season and concerns over the length of games. Now, everybody must adjust to all of the new rules. Coaches will no longer be Please see NCAA | 13
LeBron, Cavaliers recover after tying Finals The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Once LeBron James tied up the NBA Finals with another one of his virtuoso postseason performances, his legs were in knots. He needed ice, treatment and rest. He wasn’t the only one. After a pair of entertaining, exhausting, drama-filled
overtime games at Golden State, everyone — players, fans, even the refs — needed a day to take a breather and recover before the Cavaliers and Warriors resume a series getting stellar TV ratings and shifting to Quicken Loans Arena for Game 3 on Tuesday night. As midnight approached in California following Cleve-
land’s stunning 95-93 OT win on Sunday night, James, who scored 39 points with 16 rebounds and 11 assists, grimaced as he lifted himself from a chair on the postgame interview dais. He was hurting after playing 50 methodical minutes, one game after going 46. James, incredibly, believes he can give more.
“It’s a maximum of five games left in the NBA season,” he said. “So I’m ready for whatever.” He has been all season. With James leading the way, the Cavaliers, who were already a heavy underdog before losing All-Star guard Kyrie Irving to a broken left Please see CAVS | 13
Short & Sweet: 3 shortstops lead off MLB draft The Associated Press
SECAUCUS, N.J. — The Arizona Diamondbacks selected slugging Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson with the No. 1 pick in the Major League Baseball draft on Monday night. Swanson, who helped lead the Commodores to the College World Series earlier in the day, is the first college shortstop to be chosen with the top selection in the draft
since Brown University’s Bill Almon in 1974. The pick at MLB Network studios marked the first time the Diamondbacks had the No. 1 selection since they took Justin Upton in 2005. It’s the 50th anniversary of the first draft in 1965, and the first for new Commissioner Rob Manfred. With the second pick, Houston took LSU’s Alex Bregman — marking the first time shortstops have
gone with the first two selections since Shawon Dunston (Cubs) and Augie Schmidt (Blue Jays) were drafted in 1982. The Astros, who also select fifth, received the pick as compensation for not signing pitcher Brady Aiken, last year’s No. 1 overall pick. Colorado made it 3 for 3 on shortstops by taking Florida high schooler Brendan Rodgers at No. 3 overall. Rodgers was the first of four players in
attendance to have his name called by Manfred, shaking hands with the commissioner while slipping on a Rockies cap and jersey. “I really have no words right now,” Rodgers said. “I’m in awe right now. This is a dream come true.” Swanson seamlessly switched from second base to shortstop this season as a junior. He was the ColPlease see MLB DRAFT | 13

fight its way back into the series. Sunday’s scheduled game was postponed until Monday due to bad weather. When the Illini finally got their chance Monday, they scored early on Pfeifer, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning and then going up 2-1 in the third when Pat McInerney singled to drive home Casey Fletcher. But Pfeifer coaxed a groundball out from Illinois’ top hitter, David Kerian, and get out of the inning. The matchup between Swanson and Jay was much-anticipated. Swanson struck out
Auto racing swinging in his first at bat against Jay, but he homered to left in his second appearance. That fourth-inning shot tied the game at 2-2. With a little help from a stiff wind, Swanson next drove a Jay pitch to the right-center field wall to lead off the sixth inning, then stole third. With two down and a chance to give Vanderbilt its first lead, Bryan Reynolds sent a looper into shallow centerfield. Illinois centerfielder Will Krug ran hard and dove just in front of the dying ball but missed. Swanson headed home, giving the Commodores a 3-2 lead that was all they would need.

allowed to call timeouts during live ball situations and with only a few exceptions, teams will get just 10 total seconds to advance the ball past half-court instead of resetting the clock if there was a stoppage. Teams also will have 15 seconds, instead of 20, to make a substitution when a player fouls out and officials will be instructed to start play more quickly following timeouts. If a team does not comply, it will be given a warning. Each additional offense will result in a one-shot technical foul. The arc underneath the basket will be extended out another foot, from 3 feet to 4 feet, after data showed it reduced
the number of collisions. Other changes the men’s game include allowing refs to use replay reviews for potential shot clock violations on made baskets throughout the entire game and to penalize players for faking fouls, making Class B technical fouls such as hanging on the rim and delay of game one-shot infractions instead of two, removing the prohibition on dunking during warmups, eliminating the five-second rule when a player is dribbling and experimenting with a sixth foul during next season’s lower-tier postseason tourneys such as the NIT. In the women’s game, the quarters format will prompt additional changes.

kneecap in the opener, dragged down the Warriors and Stephen Curry, the league’s MVP. Hounded by Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova, who seemed to be inside his jersey, Curry missed 18 of 23 shots and ended his night with an uncharacteristic 3-point air-ball with four seconds left in overtime. But while Dellavedova’s contributions starting in place of Irving were huge, James was again the difference and the reason why the Cavs can’t be dismissed. The best all-around player of his generation, James has pushed a team missing two All-Stars — Irving and Kevin Love — and a franchise that has its first finals win, within three victories of an improbable title that
would end Cleveland’s 51-year major sports championship drought. James hasn’t been flawless, far from it. He’s twice missed potential game-winning shots in the final seconds, and has made only 40 percent of his field-goal attempts. However, he’s dictating the pace of the game, controlling the clock and slowing the run-and-gun Warriors, who are accustomed to doing things their way. The Cavs may be underdogs, but James is reminding them that this is their moment. And as he chases his third title, one that would crown his brilliant career and help him make good on a promise to his home area, James has the Cavs savoring every step. “We have a chance to be a part of history,” he said.

lege World Series’ Most Outstanding Player last year, helping the Commodores to the national championship. Swanson is a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award and Howser Trophy, given to college baseball’s top player. He also is the first shortstop — college or high school — to go No. 1 since Houston took Carlos Correa of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy in 2012. Correa was set to make his major league debut Monday night, just more than three years to day after he was drafted. Bregman is the offensive leader of an LSU team that will play in the College World Series and has been ranked No. 1 in the country in several polls for most of the season. The Golden Spikes Award finalist is hitting .312 with nine homers
and 49 RBIs, and has stolen 37 bases. Bregman has shown good patience at the plate, striking out just 20 times in 239 at-bats. He has also improved defensively in each of his three seasons at LSU, and could remain at shortstop in the pros. UC Santa Barbara fireballing right-hander Dillon Tate was selected by Texas with the fourth pick, giving the Rangers a potential staff ace or late-inning reliever. He was one of the best closers in the country last year, and established himself as an outstanding starter this season for the Gauchos. He went 8-5 with a 2.26 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 1031⁄3 innings with a fastball that hits the upper-90s (mph) and a wicked slider to go along with a solid curve and changeup.

7 Royals on track to start All-Star Game BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer
MINNEAPOLIS — The Kansas City Royals have used last year’s World Series appearance, this year’s hot start and some early season fireworks to catapult the team toward a potentially record-breaking All-Star game. Seven players on the AL champion City Royals are on track to start in the July 14 game at Cincinnati in what would be a record total for one team. Catcher Salvador Perez, first baseman Eric Hosmer, shortstop Alcides Escobar, third baseman Mike Moustakas and designated hitter Kendrys Morales all led their positions in voting totals released Monday. Lorenzo Cain was first among AL
outfielders, with teammate Alex Gordon third, behind AL MVP Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels. “It’s really exciting,” Hosmer said before the Royals opened a threegame series at Minnesota. “Just to see your name on the ballot is exciting enough. Then to realize there’s only three weeks left in the voting and a lot of us are at the top of it, it’s really cool and really special for a lot of us.” Kansas City’s Omar Infante was second among second basemen with 2.65 million votes, 150,000 behind AL batting champion Jose Altuve of Houston. Major League Baseball said the record for most starters from one team is held by the 1939 New
York Yankees with six: catcher Bill Dickey, center fielder Joe DiMaggio, second baseman Joe Gordon, third baseman Red Rolfe, pitcher Red Ruffing and left fielder George Selkirk. Fans elected seven Reds to start the 1957 game in St. Louis, but after concluding half the fan ballots came from Cincinnati, baseball commissioner Ford Frick added Willie Mays and Hank Aaron to the NL lineup in place of Reds outfielders Gus Bell and Wally Post. Voting runs through July 2, and starters are to be announced the weekend of July 4-5. “It’s just a testament to our fans, how special our fans are, that they’ve really taken the time to get out and vote for these guys,”
Royals manager Ned Yost. “Seven guys even shocked me today a little bit. We still have a ways to go but so far it’s been very encouraging for our boys.” Perez leads all vote-getters with 4,419,620 votes, Cain received 4,211,472 and Moustakas had 4,046,726, the only three players to top 4 million to this point. “Obviously a lot of this is people in Kansas City and our fan base, but when you’re talking about a guy like Salvi or Cain having 4 million votes, I think it goes a lot farther than just Kansas City,” Hosmer said. “They’re a big help. Everyone around country is really taking notice to how we play the game and respecting how we do it.”

We routinely monitor for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that were detected during the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2014. Incase where monitoring wasn’t required in 2014, the table reflects the most recent results. As water travels over the surface of land or underground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials and can pick up substances or contaminants from the presence of animals or from human activity; microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from the sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm-water runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm-water runoff, and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial procuresses and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations and septic systems; radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amount of some constituents. Its important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.

The source water assessment has been completed for our public water system to determine the overall susceptibility of its drinking water supply to identified potential sources of contamination . A report containing detailed information on how the susceptibility determinations were made has been furnished to our public water system and is available for viewing upon request. The wells for the Kossuth Water have received a lower susceptibility ranking to contamination. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Aaron C. Henry at 662-287-4310. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the third Monday of each month at 6:00 PM at the water office.

In this table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we’ve provided the following definitions: Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) ~ The “Goal”(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary to control microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk of health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000

* Most recent sample. No sample required for 2014. As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents have been detected however the EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific constituents on a monthly basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of weather or not our drinking water meets health standards. In an effort to ensure systems complete all monitoring requirements, MSDH now notifies systems of any missing samples prior to the end of the compliance period.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by substances that are naturally occurring or man made. These substances can be microbes, inorganic or organic chemicals and radioactive substances. All drinking water. Including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population, Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Our water system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. The Mississippi State Department of Health Public Health Laboratory offers lead testing. Please contact 601.576.7582 if you wish to have your water tested.
