Officials unsure what caused Selmer tragedy BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

SELMER, Tenn. — Oﬃcials are still unclear what exactly caused an elderly driver to plow through a crowded festival on Saturday, killing a Corinth businessman and his fianceé. Lt. Brad Wilbanks of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said the investigation as to what happened continues. “Understand, on this type of

crash, I’ve heard seven or eight diﬀerent stories,” Wilbanks said. “We owe it to the families to get the facts right. It will take weeks to get this together, and we want to be able to answer any and all questions the families might have. That’s what takes so long.” Pronounced dead at the scene were 62-year-old Michael L. Johnson of Selmer and 51-yearold Sherri R. Duncan of Hen-

derson. Johnson was owner of The Hot Rod Shop, LLC. in Corinth. The accident happened early Saturday afternoon at the Rockabilly Highway Revival Festival in downtown Selmer. City oﬃcials were granted the OK to shut down Court Avenue, the “main drag” through the city. Barricades were placed Please see TRAGEDY | 2A

Sherri R. Duncan and Michael L. Johnson were killed on Saturday at the Rockabilly Highway Revival Festival in Selmer, Tenn. The couple were engaged to be married.

After struggling with infertility for years, Megan and Russ Johnson decided it was time to seriously consider adoption. “At first, I just became curious,” said Megan who began researching on her own and asking questions to those she knows who’ve adopted. “Over the course of several months, God began to change my heart. We did not choose adoption as Plan B, it became our new Plan A. “God knew the desires of our hearts long before we knew them,” she continued. “I had a family friend who worked with Bethany Christian Services for years.

on each end of the street and encompassed several blocks. Classic cars lined the streets and many festival goers were in the area. According to the Highway Patrol report, a Ford LTD Crown Victoria driven by 91-year-old Aaron D. Stamey of Hornsby, with one passenger, 86-year-old Lois M. Stamey of Hornsby, went through a plastic barricade and headed south on Court Avenue. The car hit Duncan and Johnson at the intersection of Third Street and then hit an ATV, a Chevy Impala and a Chevy C-10 pickup truck before coming to a stop near the railroad crossing. The couple had their backs turned to the street when hit by the vehicle. The driver and passenger were transported by ambulance to Magnolia Regional Health Center

ELECTION and were released late Saturday. At a Sunday press conference, Duncan’s father, Larry King, confronted Selmer Mayor John Smith. After referencing a similar Selmer tragedy – the June 2007 Cars for Kids event where a dragster lost control on Court Avenue and raced into a crowd, killing six – King asked Smith why only a few barricades blocked oﬀ the street. “They were set too far apart, they were not enough,” he said of the barricades. Smith said, “The safety and well being of our citizens is our highest priority. As we review the events of (the) tragedy, we will pursue any opportunities for improvement to add additional security to any future events. We are a tight knit community and consider all our citizens like

family. And their safety will reign superior with any strategic plans for improvement. Our priority right now is with the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased, to oﬀer them all our support and prayers during their time of loss.” Hundreds turned out for a community wide prayer meeting Saturday night at Selmer’s First Baptist Church to pray for the victims and the community. The Selmer Rockabilly Highway Festival was a week-long event with various events happening since last Sunday. The event was concluding Saturday with a car show and music throughout the day. Saturday’s tragedy was the first major accident since Tennova Healthcare closed McNairy County’s only hospital in May. (Editor Mark Boehler contributed to this story.)

Today in History

Biloxi Marriage of couple on beach captured

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, adopted the original design of the Stars and Stripes, specifying a flag containing thirteen red and white stripes and thirteen stars.

On this date: In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created. In 1801, former American Revolutionary War general and notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold died in London. In 1934, Max Baer defeated Primo Carnera with an 11th round TKO to win the world heavyweight boxing championship in Long Island City, New York. In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War II; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. In 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, ruled 6-3 that children in public schools could not be forced to salute the flag of the United States. In 1967, the space probe Mariner 5 was launched from Cape Kennedy on a flight that took it past Venus. In 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered a ban on domestic use of the pesticide DDT, to take effect at year’s end. In 1982, Argentine forces surrendered to British troops on the disputed Falkland Islands. In 1985, the 17-day hijack ordeal of TWA Flight 847 began as a pair of Lebanese Shiite Muslim extremists seized the jetliner shortly after takeoff from Athens, Greece. In 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld, 6-3, police checkpoints that examined drivers for signs of intoxication.

BILOXI — A Corinth couple has a photo session waiting the next time they’re on the gulf coast reports the Sun Herald. But that will have to wait until John Mitchell gets his fields planted. He and Brittany Mitchell, his new wife, were able to take a break — he from planting, she from nursing school — to make a day trip to the coast for a beach wedding. Coast photographer Selena Baroni snapped some quick cell phone photos of a young couple’s ceremony and posted them on her Facebook page. She didn’t know who they were but wanted them to have photos. “No wedding should go without photos,” Baroni said. “It’s not fair.” Baroni, who lives in Ocean Springs, said she was having a late lunch about 3 p.m. Wednesday near the Biloxi lighthouse when she saw a man in a suit carry a table and set it on the beach. Then the young couple came and were married in a short ceremony. “He scooped a handful of sand, put it in a bottle and gave it to the couple and that was it,” she said. “They were there and gone in minutes -- the whole thing probably lasted 10 minutes. “I do photography and I just wanted them to have the photographs if they want them.” (Story by Paul Hampton.

Baldwyn Killing suspect dies in Tupelo shootout BALDWYN — A suspect accused of killing a Baldwyn woman has been shot to death by police in Tupelo. Lyndarius Witherspoon, 27, of Tupelo was killed in a shootout with law enforcement in Tupelo where he had fled from police pursuing him after the shooting in Baldwyn. Authorities say Witherspoon shot and killed Alexandra Caldwell, 23, Saturday afternoon and then fled the scene of the shooting. Tupelo Police Department officers spotted Witherspoon’s vehicle based on an alert issued to all area law enforcement and attempted to stop him. He instead fled from police, firing several shots at officers before the chase ended at an apartment complex in the city where he continued to engage in a shootout with police before being shot by officers. The case remains under investigation by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Tupelo Changes will help special ed student TUPELO — The Tupelo Public School District is making the required accommodations for a special education student whose mother filed a formal complaint against the district earlier this year, according to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. Lori Loden, mother of Duncan Harper, a 7-yearold student at Lawhon Elementary School, filed a formal complaint against TPSD claiming the district failed to provide appropriate special education services meeting her son’s physical, medical and educational needs. Loden is no relation to Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden. Harper has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk and talk, among other basic functions. Harper stopped attending Lawhon midyear. However, Diana Ezell, assistant superintendent for TPSD, said Thursday Harper is still enrolled in the school district. Following an in-person investigation of the claim in March, the MDE Office of Special Education reported the school district had not provided appropriate services, plans or medical equipment for Harper, including a hospital bed. According to the report, TPSD was given 30 days to create a new plan to meet the student’s physical and educational needs and 60 days to provide teachers with training on how to teach students with multiple disabilities.

Oxford Ole Miss to revise Confederate plaque OXFORD — The University of Mississippi will revise a plaque beside a Confederate monument on its Oxford campus to add more information

about the Civil War and slavery. Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said Friday that the change comes in response to criticism that the original plaque, put up earlier this year, glossed over the reasons the war was fought. Vitter’s predecessor as chancellor, Dan Jones, announced in 2014 that Ole Miss would provide historical context for Old South symbols as a way to acknowledge its complex history and to make a diverse student body feel more welcome. The university was founded in 1848, and the Confederate soldier statue has stood for generations in a parklike area near the main administrative building.

Tupelo Animal registration may be increased TUPELO – City leaders want to officially increase the cost to register a dangerous animal, and at least one councilman believes more expansive registration requirements may merit thought reports The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. Under the text of the current ordinance, a $50 registration fee is required to obtain the needed permit to keep a dangerous animal within the city limits. Chief Operations Officer Don Lewis said the Tupelo City Council will be asked to increase this permit fee to $75. According to Lewis, a $75 fee is already charged by the TupeloLee Humane Society, which processes the permit applications. Changes to the ordinance would also clarify the Humane Society should indeed serve as custodian of the dangerous animal permit process. Under the current ordinance, pit bulls are considered dangerous animals as are any animals that have attacked any person without provocation. Carnivorous animals not typically domesticated are also considered dangerous, such as lions and tigers, for example.

Tupelo TCT offers photos with characters TUPELO — Tupelo Community Theatre will offer patrons the opportunity to take photos with Cinderella, the Prince and the Golden Carriage on stage at the Lyric Theatre following each performance of “Cinderella Kids” June 16 and 17 at 7:30 and 18 at 2 p.m. Tickets for the produc-

Oxford Rash of burglaries brings two arrests OXFORD – Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with a string of Oxford burglaries in May. The Oxford Police Department charged Brandon Slate, 18, and Khivante Brannon, 18, both of Oxford, with three counts of residential burglary and one count of auto burglary. Starting May 18, police responded to several house burglaries in the Grand Oaks subdivision. The following week, a Notting Hill subdivision resident reported someone broke into their house and car. Items from both Notting Hill and Grand Oaks were later found near Brittany Woods in a wooded area. Slate also has a grand larceny charge from Huddle House where he allegedly stole someone’s iPad from the business. Slate and Brannon were each given a bond of $20,000.

Tupelo Tupelo focuses on property purchases TUPELO — As Mayor Jason Shelton approaches the final year of his current term of office, redevelopment of Tupelo’s neighborhoods continues to absorb much of his administration’s attention reports The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. Within the last few months, a flurry of property purchases have been approved by the Tupelo City Council at his recommendation. At least one councilman, however, fears the benefits of redevelopment efforts may only selectively benefit local citizens. Ward 7 Councilman Willie Jennings worries rental homes and lowincome housing will be replaced across the city by middle-class housing, leaving low-income residents left to feel a squeeze. Since May 5, the council has approved plans to buy five lots in Mill Village, one lot in Sharon Hills and 76.2 acres located between Lawndale Drive and the intersection of Bryan and Monument drives.

Corinth, Miss.

Still unclear who else is implicated in Epps case JACKSON — Thursday was like Groundhog Day in the Christopher Epps prosecution. Everything was on repeat. Lawyers were again arguing in federal court over how to count the damage that the Jeff Amy former Mississippi corrections commissioner did to the state Columnist through a bribery scheme with Brandon businessman and former state House member Cecil McCrory. McCrory’s lawyer said he’s still considering asking U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate to allow McCrory to withdraw his guilty plea. And prosecutors said they’re still on the cusp of unsealing more indictments in the prosecution. That’s pretty much where things left off following the previous hearing in April. Then, Wingate decided he didn’t have enough information to sentence Epps under the prosecution’s theory that the recommended sentence should be calculated based on the economic loss to the state and not just on the $1.47 million in bribes that both sides agree Epps took. Some of that information has now arrived, but Wingate ruled defense lawyers need more time to review it. Prosecutors had initially suggested the value of the loss was a staggering $868 million, but it turns out that’s the gross value of all the contracts Epps approved for 15 companies in question. Both sides now agree that they need to seek the net benefit to the companies, which is a measure of something like profit, although exactly what should be included or excluded in expenses remains a matter of dispute. The government lists 15 companies that were part of the scheme to bribe McCrory and Epps. McCrory’s lawyer, Carlos Tanner, says the government should have to prove that the companies knew the payments to McCrory were bribes. “The whole premise here is that but for the bribe, Geo wouldn’t have gotten the contract,” Tanner told Wingate. “It would have to be for work he (McCrory) didn’t do. The only way the government’s theory holds water is if Geo knew there was a bribe here.” That opens the doorway to a question that has lurked in the background since the indictment against Epps and McCrory was unsealed nearly two years ago: Why haven’t the companies or their employees faced criminal charges? The cast of companies alleged to have made payments features some prominent names in the world of private prison contracting. Wingate asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Darren LaMarca whether Geo Group, the Florida-based private prison firm that used to run three Mississippi prisons, was a target of criminal inquiry before Geo Group Finance Director John Tyrrell took the stand. LaMarca said prosecutors have no information at this point that could lead to charges against Geo. A number of the companies have denied knowing that the consultants they hired were kicking back money to Epps or other officials. “We often have consultants in the various jurisdictions where we do business,” Tyrrell testified. Less clear is why Geo and others felt they needed consultants, and what they were getting for the money. Geo was paying McCrory $5,000 a month, an amount that President and Chief Operating Officer Wayne Calabrese later increased to $10,000. Tyrrell speculated that amount increased after Geo took over Cornell Cos., another private prison contractor, which had run a troubled youth prison in Walnut Grove. John Colette, Epps’ lawyer, denies his client was getting any of that Geo money, even though Epps may have suggested McCrory as Geo’s consultant. But it didn’t sound like McCrory was keeping all of it. Tanner made statements to the effect that McCrory was passing 60 percent of the Geo money onto someone else. It’s unclear who that someone else is. But federal prosecutors may answer that question soon. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Prayer for today Eternal God, forbid that I should try to set up thy judgment-seat in so small a place as self, and attempt to render decisions for thee. My soul lives anew as I think of thy love, and that there is no place where thy mercy can be withheld from me. Amen.

A verse to share Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. –Proverbs 13:12

Special funds grab has consequences OXFORD — Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves says it’s Obama’s fault, but state agency chiefs are pointing a disappointed finger at Reeves and legislators. For what? The Great Scrape of 2016. “It’s going to take at least a decade to fix this,” said Mike Chaney, insurance commissioner and former member of both the House and Senate. Here’s the background: Through the decades, the Legislature has imposed assorted fees to accomplish certain goals. There are dozens of these quid pro quo laws. • A dollar or so added to the cost of a marriage license funds domestic violence prevention. • A few dollars on traffic fines supports the law enforcement training academy. • Ten bucks on a fire insurance policy goes to buy fire trucks for small-town and rural volunteer fire departments. Some funds are very large, such as the 2009 tax increase on tobacco. The tax went from 18 cents to 68 cents per pack with a promised emphasis on smoking cessation. Remember? The largest of these pledges were an Education

Trust Fund that was ordained in the 1980s and a Health Care Trust Fund that was to Charlie come from Mitchell the billions collected in Columnist settling the state’s lawsuit against Big Tobacco in the 1990s. The Education Trust never really came to be; the Health Care Trust did, but was raided and depleted after only a few years. Here’s what has happened: As the 2016 session closed, the Legislature opted to sweep all money from all these accounts to balance the General Fund. One big pot for every penny the state receives, regardless of the premise upon which the money was collected. The Legislature tacitly repealed every provision assigning revenue to specific operations without actually repealing anything. The law may still pledge a dollar from every marriage license to domestic violence programs, but if the new budget didn’t allocate money for the purposes defined in collecting the money, then for the 12 months starting July there may be no money

for those purposes. Period. Heads of most state agencies are, in a word, aghast. Chaney’s oﬃce collects the fire insurance policy premium tax, and he says he plans to allocate it as the law prescribed before the last-minute “scrape.” The total collected is about $16 million. If the state doesn’t like what he plans to do, “they can put me in jail,” Chaney said. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, also a Republican and normally a softspoken former tax attorney, is seeing red. His oﬃce collects a $250 in filing fee from each nonresident limited liability corporation. About half the total collected from the fee, $1.3 million, has been returned to local governments to help pay for elections. “When the circuit clerks don’t get that money,” Hoseman said, “that’s when people will realize what this means.” Hosemann was as livid as he gets. There was zero hesitation to award $262 million and provide a 25-year tax exemption to a foreign tiremaker for a loose projection to add 2,000 jobs (Continental Tire), he said. “Teachers can’t live on projections,” Hosemann said. “We ought to get out of it. There’s no justification for that.” For his part, Reeves de-

livered “all is well” reassurances to Mississippi Today. Asked about why the state was in such a pinch, Reeves told the online news source, “In terms of why we’re not seeing significant economy growth, I think the primary reason is the Obama economy.” In the interview, Reeves basically called the agency heads crybabies. Hosemann said the scrape was part of a plan to consolidate more power in the Legislature. Here’s the gist: If Bob takes $500 from Jim and promises to deliver a cow, but delivers a goat, that’s false pretenses — and Bob goes to prison. That’s not exactly what the 2016 edition of the Mississippi Legislature, in its haste to deliver a balanced budget, has done. But it’s close. Agency heads feel they were separately elected to provide services related to the fees the Legislature created for specific purposes. They have every right to be distraught because those services will still be expected, but perhaps not provided. Maybe then people will notice. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Will Orlando change anything? However great the shock of the massacre in Orlando, it is only a matter of time before we start hearing again the fact-free dogma that “diversity is our strength.” If there is any place in the Guinness Book of World Records for words repeated the most often, over the most years, without one speck of evidence, “diversity” should be a prime candidate. Is diversity our strength? Or anybody’s strength, anywhere in the world? Does Japan’s homogeneous population cause the Japanese to suﬀer? Have the Balkans been blessed by their heterogeneity – or does the very word “Balkanization” remind us of centuries of strife, bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities, extending into our own times? Has Europe become a safer place after importing vast numbers of people from the Middle East, with cultures hostile to the fundamental values of Western civilization? “When in Rome do as the Romans do” was once a common saying. Today, after generations in the West have been indoctrinated with the rhetoric of multiculturalism, the borders of Western nations on both sides of the Atlantic have been thrown open to people who think it is their prerogative to come

The recent wave of refugees flooding into Europe include Muslim men who have been haranguing European women on the streets for not dressing modestly enough, not to mention their sexual molestation of those women. Smug elites in Europe, like their counterparts in America, are not nearly as concerned about such things as they are about preventing “Islamophobia.” Legal restrictions on free speech in some European countries make it a crime to sound the alarm about the dangers to the culture and to the people. In the lofty circles of those who see themselves as citizens of the world, it is considered unworthy, if not hateful, to insist on living according to your own Western values or to resist importing people who increase your chances of being killed. But if you don’t have the instinct for self-preserva-

tion, it will not matter much in the long run whatever else you may have. America’s great good fortune in the past has been that Americans have been able to unite as Americans against every enemy, despite our own internal diﬀerences and struggles. Black and white, Jew and Gentile, have fought and died for this country in every war. It has not been our diversity, but our ability to overcome the problems inherent in diversity, and to act together as Americans, that has been our strength. In both World War I and World War II, the top commander of American troops who went into combat against the German army was of German ancestry – Pershing and Eisenhower, respectively. So too was General Carl Spaatz, whose bombers reduced German cities to rubble. Whatever their backgrounds, they were Americans when the chips were down. Today, that sense of American unity is being undermined by the reckless polarization of group identity politics. That aﬀects not only how Americans see themselves, but how others in our midst see America. Some people demand American citizenship, as if it is an entitlement, while

burning the American flag and waving the flag of Mexico. And the apostles of “diversity” and “multiculturalism” watch in silence. That includes the President of the United States. Probably most people in most groups are decent. But if 85 percent of the people in Group A present no serious problems and 95 percent of the people in Group B present no serious problems, that means you can expect three times as many serious problems when you admit immigrants from Group A. Unfortunately, there is remarkably little interest in the relevant facts about crime rates, disease rates, welfare dependency or educational deficiencies among immigrants from specific countries. Most debates about immigration policies are contests in rhetoric, with hard facts being ignored as if they didn’t exist. Tragically, the massacre in Orlando seems unlikely to change that. Too many people have too much invested in their own particular position to change, especially in an election year.

We all have more strength than we realize In 2008, a Florida firefighter lifted a full size SUV which had crashed, 12 inches oﬀ the ground. This Bryan amazing feat Golden was needed in order to allow Dare to Live other firefightWithout Limits ers to rescue the trapped driver whose arm was pinned under the vehicle. In 1988, the helicopter Steve was piloting crashed in a ditch due to mechanical problems. His leg was pinned under the helicopter. One of his co-workers managed to lift the helicopter just enough to enable Steve to free himself. These two examples are just some of numerous incidents where individuals utilized more strength than they realized they

had. Ironically, before their awesome feats, none of these people would have realized they were capable of doing what they did. The secret to their amazing feats was their determination to do whatever was necessary to rescue the injured person. They didn’t wonder if they could do it. They didn’t conjure up any reasons why they couldn’t do it. They just did whatever it took. The physical strength they used is only one type of strength. Other strengths include willpower, drive, and determination. One of the biggest strength is the refusal to ever give up. On the other hand, fear, doubt, and worry are roadblocks to your success. You are not born with these limiting concepts. They are learned from other people and from your own experiences. One bad experience has amazing power

to negatively taint your entire outlook. The concept is simple. If you believe you can do something, you are right. Conversely, if you believe you can’t do something, you are also right. It’s up to you to decide which way you will think. So even if you have been thinking of all the excuses why you can’t accomplish as much as you would like, you can change your outlook right now. Within you lies immense capability. You can achieve more than you think. It’s the limits you impose on yourself which prevent you from attaining your full potential. Beliefs in what you can’t do are typically more engrained than fully comprehending all that you can do. You won’t attempt or be successful dealing with issues you believe to be impossible. This is because your brain follows the instructions you provide. In

order to utilize all of your inner potential, you must first believe in its existence, as well as believing you have what it takes to successfully accomplish your objective. You can solve any problem confronting you. You can overcome any obstacle. You can successfully deal with any challenge you encounter. Your only obstacle is yourself. Tapping into your inner strength begins with replacing “I can’t” with “I can” in your self-talk. Next, you replace all excuses for failure with reasons to succeed. There are those who will try to discourage you from doing what you want or need to do. They will give you excuses for failure by telling you why you can’t, won’t, or should not succeed. Ignore them. Following their advice guarantees failure. Pay attention to the times in your life where you did accom-

plish more than you thought possible. Many of these examples will come from your childhood where you were successful for the simple reason that you didn’t know something was not possible. So you just went ahead and did it. Remember these personal experiences whenever you start to doubt yourself or are surrounded by naysayers. Since you still have inside you the same strength you had before, you can reproduce successful outcomes now and in the future. Always remember that you have more strength than you realize.

Northeast offers bicycle sharing program BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

The Tigers are taking tremendously to two wheels. Northeast Mississippi Community College’s bicycle sharing program is off to a great start as students, faculty and staff take advantage of free access to bikes for transportation on campus and off. “It’s just a great program. It’s been really exciting,” said NEMCC Fitness Center Director Joseph Pennington. The program, funded as part of the college’s overall campus wide fitNEss effort in partnership with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Mississippi, provides bikes that are available to be checked out free of charge. The school currently has 20 of the two-wheelers available and they hope to add more soon. Pennington said the response to the project has been tremendous with users enjoying the convenience and health benefits of the bikes, along with the fun of riding.

“Nobody gets off a bike and has a frown,” he said with a laugh. As part of the campus health initiative, Pennington believes the bikes can play a role in encouraging exercise and healthier habits. They’ve also proven to be a great outreach tool for the fitness center. As users have come to the center to checkout the bikes they’ve had a chance to see the full service fitness options available through the facility. “It’s brought a lot of people in for the first time,” he said. The program was kicked off this spring with the inaugural Tour de Tiger on the college’s iconic Cunningham Boulevard. Students and faculty had the chance to ride the bikes around the boulevard and learn about the program and the fitness effort while enjoying good and music. Pennington said they aim for Tour de Tiger to become an annual event with the next one slated for late September. He said the goal of it and the entire program is to get people involved and taking steps to becoming healthier.

1 U.S. judge to hear 3 suits over Mississippi law BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — One judge will hear all three challenges to a Mississippi law that will let clerks cite religious beliefs to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Each lawsuit originally had been assigned to a diﬀerent federal judge. Two have been shifted to U.S. District Judge Carl-

ton Reeves, who already had one. In reassigning cases Friday, Chief District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. cited an overall equal distribution of the workload among judges. Mississippi’s House Bill 1523, set to become law July 1, was one of several measures filed by state lawmakers around the nation in response to the Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex mar-

riage nationwide. Supporters say the Mississippi law will protect people’s religious belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, while opponents say it violates the equalprotection guarantee of the Constitution. All three lawsuits seek to have the bill declared unconstitutional and to block it from becoming law. The bill signed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant

provides protection for people with three religious beliefs: that marriage is only between a man and a woman, that sexual relations should only take place inside such a marriage and that a person’s “immutable biological sex” is determined by anatomy and genetics at birth. In addition to marriage licenses, the measure could aﬀect adoptions, business practices and school bathroom policies.

On May 9, the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit on behalf of a gay couple from Meridian. The case originally was assigned to U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan. On May 10, Campaign for Southern Equality and two lesbian couples filed papers seeking to challenge the new law by asking Reeves to reopen their 2014 federal lawsuit in which he overturned Mississippi’s ban on same-

sex marriage. On June 3, the Mississippi Center for Justice filed suit for a diverse group of gay, straight and transgender people saying the law violates the separation of church and state by favoring “certain narrow religious beliefs that condemn same-sex couples who get married, condemn unmarried people who have sexual relations and condemn transgender people.”

history, the American flag has steadfastly served as an emblem of this great experiment in democracy. On Flag Day and during National Flag Week, we pledge our allegiance to the banner that has served as a guiding symbol on our Nation’s journey, and we celebrate the hope it inspires in the American people. “With hands over hearts,

Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs have long saluted Old Glory and honored its legacy. Our flag persists as a powerful representation of freedom and opportunity.” In observance of National Flag week which began on Sunday, June 12, the American flag should be displayed on all federal government buildings. “I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day and National Flag Week by displaying the flag,” said Obama in his proclamation on Friday, June 10. “I

also call upon the people of the United States to observe with pride and all due ceremony those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, also set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 211), as a time to honor America, to celebrate our heritage in public gatherings and activities, and to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.” According to history. com, June 14 isn’t just a day to honor the flag in American History. “While the 1777 resolu-

tion establishing a national flag was the impetus for the national holiday known as Flag Day, that date also holds great significance for the U.S. Army,” states the website. “Two years earlier, just weeks after the Battles of Lexington and Concord kicked oﬀ the American Revolution, the Congress formally authorized the enlistment of soldiers to fight in what became known as the Continental Army. So this Friday, remember to wish the U.S. Army a happy 238th birthday.” At Corinth’s American Legion Post 6, the colors are respected not just on Flag Day, but everyday. “Each year, myself and other Legion members visit local elementary schools to talk to the first graders about the flag, its background and how it should be treated,” said Post Commander Tommy Watson. “We later return and teach the fourth grade students about proper respect as far as how to handle the flag.” The American Legion also has a box at its location at 511 South Tate Street where people can

drop off their worn or tattered banners for proper disposal. “We have taken on the issue of proper disposal and respect for the flag for many years and have a continuing effort in Washington D.C. to push through a flag amendment, but have had trouble getting it on the agenda for many of our congressmen,” said Watson. “As the flag is symbolic of our nation and many of us have served under it, we feel that proper respect and care of it is a prominent issue.” Educating others while treating Old Glory with respect, the Legion holds a proper disposal ceremony for flags each year. In observance of Flag Day 2016, VFW Post 3962 held its annual flag retirement ceremony on Sunday. Whether singing the national anthem, observing the Pledge of Allegiance with hands placed over hearts or flying Old Glory outside of homes and businesses, the U.S. government is encouraging all Americans to pause and pay tribute to the flag on its official holiday.

The Making of a Christian When we are saved in the name of Christ, we have a divine right to wear his name. It is sinful to wear human names as religious designations. In the early days of the church some of the brethren at Corinth were given to wearing human names. For this they were severely rebuked. “For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?” (1 Cor. 3: 4,5.) To wear human names in religion is carnal. “Carnal” means animal, fleshly, material, temporal, worldly. It is the very opposite of spiritual. “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (Rom. 8:6). We have the name “Christian” three times in the New Testament. We have already read it in Acts 11: 26. Its next occurrence is in Acts 26: 28. Paul had been preaching the everlasting gospel to King Agrippa. “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.” The king knew if he were to obey the gospel that Paul preached it would make him a Christian. It will do the same thing today. Paul preached the death of Christ for our sins, his burial, and his resurrection. He taught people to believe in Christ, to repent of their sins, to confess the name of Christ, and to be buried by baptism for the remission of sins. You will be interested in hearing Paul preach these things. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16: 31) “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” (Acts 17: 30.) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Rom. 10: 9,10.) “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.” (Rom. 6: 3-5) We have the name “Christian” once again. “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.” (1 Pet. 4: 16.) If we are genuine Christians, we are going to suffer some for it. Yes, it costs something to be a Christian. To be a humble follower of the humble Christ and to wear no other name but his really means something. This name is above every other name. “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in the earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil. 2: 9-11.) May God help us to honor the name by wearing it and living up to it. Read Acts 9: 1-20. Welcome.

Jury will mull case of shooting suspect COLUMBIA, S.C. — A jury, not a judge, will consider hate crimes and other federal charges against the man charged in the shooting deaths of nine parishioners at a South Carolina church. U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled Monday that jurors will determine the guilt or innocence of Dylann Roof in his federal trial. If he’s convicted, a jury will also hear arguments on a possible death sentence. Roof’s lawyers had requested a bench trial. Earlier Monday, prosecutors filed papers opposing a bench trial. The 22-year-old Roof faces the charges in connection to the June 17 shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. The trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 7. His trial on nine counts of murder in state court is set for January.

Freight train derails in Baltimore tunnel BALTIMORE — Authorities say it appears that a mechanical problem caused a freight train derailment in a tunnel in Baltimore, but the specific cause is under investigation. CSX spokesman Rob Doolittle said at least 13 cars derailed early Monday in the Howard Street tunnel, but there are no injuries or hazards to the public.

Doolittle says the 124-car train was headed from Philadelphia to Cumberland, Maryland, with eight locomotives. He says one derailed car contains acetone, a flammable solvent. Doolittle says rail traffic is stopped in the area. Fire department spokesman Samuel Johnson says no poisonous substances were released. He says the cause is under investigation and cars won’t be moved until Monday evening. Johnson is asking the public to avoid the area.

Teacher resolves shoplifting charge EDGECOMB, Maine — A shoplifting charge against a Maine teacher who won the $1 million Global Teacher Prize will be dropped if she meets terms imposed by a court. The plea arrangement requires Nancie Atwell to stay out of trouble for two years, undergo a psychological evaluation and complete 100 hours of community service. The Portland Press Herald reports that the deferred disposition was formalized Monday. Atwell founded The Centre for Teaching and Learning in Edgecomb. She was selected from a pool of 1,300 applicants for the first Varkey Foundation award in 2015. In April, she was charged with shoplifting a $14.99 blouse. The charge will be dropped if she meets the court terms that include proving she’s donating the

prize money. She has called the theft charge a misunderstanding.

Microsoft reveals LinkedIn purchase NEW YORK — In a surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buying professional networking service site LinkedIn for about $26.2 billion. It is by far Microsoft’s largest acquisition — much larger than Skype, which the company bought for $8.5 billion in 2011. LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, California, has more than 430 million members. Users can network with other professionals, upload their resumes, catch up on career advice and search for jobs on its site and apps. Microsoft Corp. is paying $196 for each share of LinkedIn Corp., a 50 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $131.08 on Friday. The deal is expected to close this year. LinkedIn will remain an independently run unit of Microsoft. It will keep its name, and current CEO Jeff Weiner will stay on and report directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Microsoft is based in Redmond, Washington. For Microsoft, the deal means access to LinkedIn’s hundreds of millions of users and an opportunity to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals, helping them find jobs, learn new skills and do their work.

Bryant: Lower flags for Orlando victims JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has ordered flags to fly at half-staff on state property to honor those killed or wounded in the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The Republican issued an executive order Monday for flags to be lowered until sunset Thursday. He says people in Mississippi are praying for “the victims of hatred and terror” and for their families. Bryant’s order follows one by President Barack Obama for flags to fly half-staff on federal property.

Suspect pleads not guilty to shooting BILOXI — A 45-yearold man accused in the Nov. 27 shooting death of a Biloxi Waffle House server has pleaded not guilty. The Sun Herald report Johnny Max Mount entered his plea to a murder charge on Monday. He is set to stand trial Feb. 13 in the death of Julie Brightwell. According to court records, Mount was seated at a counter when Brightwell told him he couldn’t smoke his e-cigarette inside the Biloxi restaurant. Police have said he became angry and pulled a 9 mm handgun from his waist. When Brightwell saw the gun, she ducked behind a counter but Mount got up, leaned over the

counter and shot her once in the head. She died a short time later at Merit Health Biloxi. She had worked for Waffle House eight years.

PASCAGOULA — Prosecutors are asking a judge to allow a girl to testify about how a former Ocean Springs school bus driver gave her candy, rubbed her back and gave her a pet name. Prosecutors say the testimony is intended to show the type of suspected “sexual-abuse grooming” behavior he used on a different girl he is accused of molesting. The Sun Herald reports Sergio Sandoval has not been arrested on any charges involving the child who prosecutors are requesting be a witness.

Eye on retail The Commerce Department reports May retail sales figures today. The pace of U.S. retail sales growth has been mixed this year. Sales surged by 1.3 percent in April, as consumers spent more money at restaurants, car dealerships and online at Amazon.com, eBay and other internet retailers. That gain followed a small drop in March. Economists anticipate that sales increased slightly last month.

top-10 holdings lists has beaten the Standard & Poor’s 500 index in 63 percent of quarters since 2001, according to Goldman Sachs. More recently their performance has stumbled, though. Hedge funds lost an average of 0.7 percent in the first quarter, according to research firm HFR. That’s even though stocks returned 1.3 percent, and investmentgrade bonds returned 3 percent. Regardless, it’s always interesting to see which stocks hedge-fund managers are choosing in hopes of justifying their fees, which are generally much higher than for funds available to lay investors. The average hedge fund had management fees of 1.5 percent at the end of 2015, along with incentive fees of 17.7 percent.

New favorites These stocks joined Goldman Sachs’ list of “VIP” stocks for hedge funds last quarter.

Pricier exports?

U.S. businesses increased their stockpiles of goods in March for the first time since June last year. The 0.4 percent gain snapped months of falling inventories, which have been a big drag on the nation’s economy. Inventories have pulled economic growth lower for three straight quarters. Did the rebound in business stockpiles continue in April? Find out today, when the Commerce Department reports its latest monthly business inventory data.

Economists project that the price paid for U.S. exports edged higher last month. The Labor Department is expected to report today that its export price index rose 0.3 percent in May. That would follow a gain of 0.5 percent in April. U.S. export sales have been hurt by a strong dollar this year. But the U.S. currency has weakened a bit since peaking earlier this year.
