Court overturns Towles conviction BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Mississippi Court of Appeals reversed the aggravated assault conviction of a woman who claimed self-defense in the June 2012 shooting of her boyfriend. Amy Denise Towles, 47, has been serving a five-year sentence in connection with the shooting of William

Clay Wells. In a decision handed down last week, the court reversed the conviction and sent the case back to Alcorn County Circuit Court for new trial proceedings. According to the court’s written opinion, Towles and Wells had “a tumultuous, oﬀ-and-on dating relationship for four years” until the 2012 shooting, which occurred at

Towle’s apartment at her mother’s home and farm. In July 2014, a jury found her guilty of aggravated assault, and Circuit Judge Thomas Gardner III imposed a 20-year sentence with 15 years suspended, leaving five years to serve, followed by five years of probation. The Court of Appeals found that the circuit court erred in refusing to

give the defendant’s proposed selfdefense jury instruction and that the state’s acknowledgment of improper “send a message” arguments to the jury also supports reversible error. Towles claims the .22-caliber rifle she was holding accidentally discharged when Wells came toward Please see CONVICTION | 2

Lawyer argues for equal marriage license system BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON —- Samesex couples in Mississippi should not be left guessing whether any particular clerk will refuse to issue them marriage licenses, a gay rights attorney argued Monday in federal court. Roberta Kaplan sued in 2014 to overturn the state’s ban on gay marriage. She argued Monday against House Bill 1523 , which was signed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant in April and is set to become law July 1. It would let circuit clerks cite their own religious

STABBING

beliefs to recuse themselves from giving marriage licenses to gay or lesbian couples. Mississippi was one of several states where legislators debated or passed bills in response to last summer’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that eﬀectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Kaplan said gay or lesbian couples could face public humiliation if they prepare for a wedding only to be told that a clerk won’t issue a license, or that a license is only available from a certain employee at a certain time or place.

“There can’t be separate-but-equal marriage. There can’t be Jim Crow kind of marriage,” said New York-based Kaplan, who represents Campaign for Southern Equality and two lesbian couples. Justin Matheny, an assistant state attorney general, said the bill specifies that clerks who recuse themselves must make sure someone else in the oﬃce will issue the license. “It’s on them,” Matheny said. Four lawsuits are seeking to block the bill from becoming law. The suits say the measure is unconstitutional.

said Corinth Police Capt. Dell Green. Pruitt was pronounced dead on the scene, while Robinson was transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center. “We first believed she (Robinson) was suﬀering a heart attack,” said Green. “But it appears it was only complications – maybe a panic attack.” Robinson is currently being held without bond at the Alcorn County Detention Center.

The junior team, which also claimed first in the state, was comprised of middle school students Luke Broadway, Caleb Felks, Levi Sides and Marlee Turner. Turner brought home the high individual overall award. “I am so happy for these students and very impressed by them … two teams and two first place finishes,” said Gillmore. “The livestock judging contest is one of the most diﬃcult FFA contests out there, but these students

the Daily Corinthian, Baker was found under rubble by a neighbor who pulled him to safety. Baker was bleeding and burned, said the family member. He is listed in critical condition at Regional One Health (The Med) in Memphis. The Kossuth Volunteer Fire Department, Magnolia EMS and Air

“Camp Hollywood is the only special needs camp in our community and is a wonderful outlet for special needs children to enjoy themselves and interact with one another as they would in a summer camp setting,” said Brown. “One little girl brought her sister with her this year and we were pleased to have her since we welcome the siblings of our special needs campers to join as well.” A welcome retreat for children with disabilities who would otherwise miss out on attending a camp with regular-styled ac-

tivities, Camp Hollywood provides an unforgettable week of summertime bliss. “The camp is one of our biggest projects for the year and is an absolutely wonderful experience for us as well as the children,” said Junior Auxiliary of Corinth President Jamie Jones. “Claire and Brittanie have done an amazing job and worked really hard to make this an awesome, fun time for all involved.” Wrapping up on Thursday, the exciting event will conclude with a highly anticipated visit from a local fire engine.

the state made improper closing arguments which included, in part: “There is something that can be done about the shootings that we have that are far too prevalent and the killings that we have, and that something is for jurors like you, good people like you, a crosssection of this community, to say, ‘Wait a minute. We are the conscience of this community. We will not have this. We will do something about it in Alcorn County.’” The appeals court cited its own prior ruling that

“it is error to urge jurors to consider that the verdict [they] return is going to be reflective of the conscience” of the community. Responding law enforcement oﬃcers found broken glass in the french doors of the apartment and broken dishes on the floor. The accounts given by Towles and Wells of the disturbance leading to the shooting diﬀer. Wells survived the shooting despite wounds that were described by his surgeon as “almost uniformly fatal.”

her and she reflexively backed up. The court of appeals opined that it is not an inherent conflict to claim that the shooting was both accidental and done in self-defense. “A self-defense instruction would have allowed the jury to consider whether Towles possessed the gun in a lawful manner and through lawful means to defend herself,” the court wrote.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, June 21, the 173rd day of 2016. There are 193 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 21, 1964, civil rights workers Michael H. Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James E. Chaney were slain in Philadelphia, Mississippi; their bodies were found buried in an earthen dam six weeks later. (Fortyone years on this date in 2005, Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old former Ku Klux Klansman, was found guilty of manslaughter; he was sentenced to 60 years in prison.)

On this date: In 1788, the United States Constitution went into effect as New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify it. In 1834, Cyrus Hall McCormick received a patent for his reaping machine. In 1913, Georgia “Tiny” Broadwick became the first woman to parachute from an airplane as she jumped over Los Angeles. In 1932, heavyweight Max Schmeling lost a title fight rematch in New York by decision to Jack Sharkey, prompting Schmeling’s manager, Joe Jacobs, to exclaim: “We was robbed!” In 1942, German forces led by Generaloberst (Colonel General) Erwin Rommel captured the Libyan city of Tobruk during World War II. (Following his victory, Rommel was promoted to Field Marshal; Tobruk was retaken by the Allies in November 1942.) In 1955, the David Lean movie “Summertime” starring Katharine Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi opened in New York. In 1963, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini was chosen during a conclave of his fellow cardinals to succeed the late Pope John XXIII; the new pope took the name Paul VI. In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Miller v. California, ruled that states may ban materials found to be obscene according to local standards. In 1982, a jury in Washington, D.C. found John Hinckley Jr. not guilty by reason of insanity in the shootings of President Ronald Reagan and three other men. In 1985, scientists announced that skeletal remains exhumed in Brazil were those of Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele. In 1989, a sharply divided Supreme Court ruled that burning the American flag as a form of political protest was protected by the First Amendment.

Local/Region Across the Region Tupelo Coke memorabilia on display in Tupelo TUPELO — An extension of Corinth’s Crossroads Museum Coca-Cola exhibit is now on display at the Tupelo Automobile Museum. Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works CEO Sandy Williams loaned the memorabilia to the Tupelo museum to help celebrate 100 years of Coke in the All-American City. The display features an interactive computer to help visitors learn about Coca-Cola’s history in Northeast Mississippi. Also on display are signs, clocks, bottles, calendars, toys, drink machines and a 1929 International Speedtruck used for deliveries. Located off U.S. Highway 45 at the BancorpSouth Arena exit, the museum also features more than 100 cars. The museum is open Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 noon to 4:30 p.m.

Tishomingo Co. Suspect identified in shooting case TISHOMINGO COUNTY — Officials have released the name of the man charged in connection with a Thursday night shooting in Tishomingo County. Michael Allen Barnes, 38, of 713 County Road 993 in Belmont, was charged Friday afternoon with possession of a firearm by a felon and aggravated assault — extreme indifference to human life. According to officials, Barnes is accused of shooting Mark Lovelace, 43, of Dennis, three times with a .20-gauge shotgun. Lovelace was initially taken by helicopter to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. He was transferred to Memphis on Friday. Authorities responded to a shooting call at 8:42 p.m. Thursday night at Barnes’ address in the Valley Grove community, located just southeast of Tishomingo State Park. Barnes is being held without bond in the Tishomingo County jail. Sheriff John Dennis Daugherty said he would “like to thank” all the agencies that came and assisted his department during the initial investigation.

Hardin Co. Dog rescued from Hardin County cave HARDIN COUNTY, Tenn. — A dog was rescued from a 45-foot cave in Hardin County

on Friday, according to WBBJ. “I really didn’t think he was coming out of that hole,” Buddy’s owner, Caleb Hudgens said. “I wasn’t gonna let him starve to death down there. I really couldn’t think of what to do. Hudgens said the pair went hunting Thursday night on his cousin’s land, when the GPS system attached to the dog’s collar stopped working. “He went about 200 yards in trees and started working the track again, and my tracking system lost signal,” Hudgens explained. “I went over to the last place it picked up, and there was about a 30-foot drop- off he was in the bottom of.” Rescue officials said it was much deeper and dangerous than they expected. “This wasn’t a manmade well. It was a cave,” Director of Animal Services for Hardin County, Debbie Nowicki said. “It did not have supported sides. It had ledges and ruts in the walls that could have given way at any time so it was an unknown going in.” Rescuers did have to put a muzzle on the four year old to keep both the fireman and Buddy safe, but they said this is something they’ve trained to be able to do. “We do train for it, and its not something we do everyday of course, but we do train for it and we are prepared to do rope rescues like this,” Hardin County Fire Chief, Melvin Martin explained.

Tupelo Suspect shot after running from police TUPELO — What started as a routine traffic stop ended in bloodshed reported WTVA. Antwun Shumpert, 37, was shot multiple times after he fled from a Tupelo Police officer and K9 unit. Shumpert fled to Harrison Street after a routine traffic stop in the Lee Acres neighborhood. The Tupelo Police Department released a statement saying “a search for the suspect led officers to the suspect’s hiding place under a house. The suspect emerged from hiding and attacked the K9 unit and officer. During the struggle, the suspect was shot.” It’s unclear if Shumpert had a weapon. “I know he was taken to surgery. They did try and do surgery to stop the hemorrhaging. But they were unsuccessful. He did die in intensive care at North Mississippi Medical Center,” says Lee County coroner Carolyn Green.

Amory Mississippi Railway returns after flood AMORY — After flooding left the track impassible for months, trains are finally chugging down the Mississippian Railway once again reports the Itawamba County Times. Last week, the first train since December rode the rails of the 25mile short-line railway between Fulton and Amory, following a series of repairs to the stormdamaged track and the berms that support it. Late last year, heavy storms and accompanying flooding damaged more than 24 locations along the railway, requiring large sections of the track in both Itawamba and Monroe counties to be replaced before trains could run again. County officials say all repairs to the washed out areas of the track are complete, although the railway will continue to undergo a series of upgrades and renovations in the coming months. Work on repairing the line began in April and wrapped up earlier this month. Unlike roads, which can be repaired fairly easily if washed out, replacing a railroad berm often requires special equipment able to traverse a train track. The cost to repair the Itawamba County-owned railway was just north of $400,000. Although the county is paying the cost of repairs out of pocket, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is expected to reimburse approximately 90 percent of the bill. The extent of the damage caused by the flooding, which also washed out roads throughout Itawamba and Monroe counties, resulted in both counties being declared disaster areas by Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and its parent, FEMA. Although the railway is owned by Itawamba County, it is operated independently through the Mississippian Railway Cooperative, a thirdparty nonprofit group created in the 1980s to

Yet for some community members, questions surrounding Shumpert’s death remain. NAACP Tupelo Lee County Chapter President Rev. Chris Taylor said, “First thing I want to know what was the reason for the young man’s traffic stop. What was he doing wrong? If this was justifiable, if it wasn’t justifiable, I want to know why did the officer have to use this type of lethal force if it wasn’t justifiable. There’s a lot of unanswered questions at this time.”

Committee to form if tourism tax OK’d HOUSTON — The Houston Board of Aldermen has voted unanimously to form a 15-member tourism advisory committee that will help the city pick projects for funding according to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. With voters headed to the polls next week to vote on a tourism tax, aldermen voted unanimously Tuesday night to pull together people from across the community who would then screen projects to be funded by tourism tax revenue. Mayor Stacey Parker presented a categorized list that would draw people from across the community with an interest in tourism and Houston’s growth. The committee would have three people from business, two people from the hotel community, two from restaurants and two from the community at large. The committee would also include someone from Parks and Recreation, city parks, Chickasaw Museum, Tanglefoot Trail, Chickasaw Development Foundation and the City of Houston. Parker said individuals were not named prior to the vote and the city would solicit volunteers for the civic posts. “We haven’t passed the tourism tax yet, but if we do, in July we want to be ready to get that committee together and the city board would adopt those names,” said Parker. “We’re ready to get names now. I would like to see people present something to the board in writing and tell us why they want to be considered for this committee.” Houston aldermen voted in May to set the tourism tax election for Tuesday, June 21 at City Hall. The city also voted on a 3-year plan and list of projects and items the tourism tax will be spent on. The referendum seeks to levy a 2 percent tax on restaurants and motels. Parker has said the tax is expected to raise approximately $160,000 annually. The tax will be levied on hotel/motel room rental and on the sale of prepared food consumed on the premises of any business. State sales tax numbers for 2015 indicate $8,069,716 was spent in Houston restaurants last year and $373,581

on motel lodging. Houston proposed a 1 percent tourism tax last year and this summer the city is seeking a 2 percent levy. This year’s tax will raise the price of a $5 food purchase an additional 10 cents. The legislation signed by Gov. Phil Bryant also requires 75 percent of the revenue generated by the tax to be spent by the city on community and economic development and 25 percent on parks and recreation.

Aberdeen Deputies arrest man for failure to appear ABERDEEN — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department arrested a man this week for failing to appear in court. Deputies arrested 41-year-old Owen Kiley Mood in Jackson on Thursday, June 16. The warrant was from 2012 when Sheriff Cecil Cantrell says he stole timber from a man. He is also charged with grand larceny. The U.S. Marshals Service assisted in the arrest.

Columbus Supervisors to hire parks consultant COLUMBUS — Lowndes County supervisors, in a 3-2 vote, decided to move forward without the city as it hires a consultant to study the Columbus Lowndes Recreation Authority, reports WTVA. Columbus spokesman Joe Dillon spoke to Lowndes County supervisors Friday morning to ask them to table a vote to hire a consultant because the city wants to have input in that process. It was the recommendation of Board of Supervisors President Harry Sanders to hire RF Outdoor Consulting to study parks and recreation. Sanders got enough support for it to pass but Leroy Brooks voted against it because of the process. He says he wasn’t included in the discussion leading up to the vote. Jeff Smith, the other nay vote, said the county is leaving out the city and parks and rec board. Sanders says the consultant will be in contact with the city in the weeks to come but says they needed to act fast before the budget is approved. Mid-August is when they expect a report from the consultant. This study is not expected to exceed $4,000. The city says it looks forward to hearing from the consultant and being able to eventually give some input.

Corinth, Miss.

The gun control argument farce Surely murder is a serious subject, which ought to be examined seriously. Instead, it is almost always examined politically in the context of gun control controversies, with stock arguments Thomas on both sides that have reSowell mained the same for decades. And most of those arguments Columnist are irrelevant to the central question: Do tighter gun control laws reduce the murder rate? That is not an esoteric question, nor one for which no empirical evidence is available. Think about it. We have 50 states, each with its own gun control laws, and many of those laws have gotten either tighter or looser over the years. There must be tons of data that could indicate whether murder rates went up or down when either of these things happened. But have you ever heard any gun control advocate cite any such data? Tragically, gun control has become one of those fact-free issues that spawn outbursts of emotional rhetoric and mutual recriminations about the National Rifle Association or the Second Amendment. If restrictions on gun ownership do reduce murders, we can repeal the Second Amendment, as other Constitutional Amendments have been repealed. Laws exist to protect people. People do not exist to perpetuate laws. But if tighter restrictions on gun ownership do not reduce murders, what is the point of tighter gun control laws -- and what is the point of demonizing the National Rifle Association? There are data not only from our 50 states but also from other countries around the world. Professor Joyce Lee Malcolm’s empirical study, “Guns and Violence: The English Experience,” should be eye-opening for all those who want their eyes opened, however small that number of people might be. Professor Malcolm’s book also illustrates the diﬀerence between isolated, cherrypicked facts and relevant empirical evidence. Many gun control advocates have cited the much higher murder rates in the United States than in England as due to tighter gun control laws in England. But Professor Malcolm’s study points out that the murder rate in New York has been some multiple of the murder rate in London for two centuries -and, during most of that time, neither city had serious restrictions on gun ownership. As late as 1954, “there were no controls on shotguns” in England, Professor Malcolm reported, but only 12 cases of armed robbery in London. Of these only 4 had real guns. But in the remainder of the 20th century, gun control laws became ever more severe -- and armed robberies in London soared to 1,400 by 1974. “As the numbers of legal firearms have dwindled, the numbers of armed crimes have risen” is her summary of that history in England. Conversely, in the United States the number of handguns in American homes more than doubled between 1973 and 1992, while the murder rate went down. There are relevant facts available, but you are not likely to hear about them from politicians currently pushing for tighter gun control laws, or from the mainstream media, when those facts go against the claims of gun control advocates. In both England and the United States, those people most zealous for tighter gun control laws tend also to be most lenient toward criminals and most restrictive on police. The net result is that law-abiding citizens become more vulnerable when they are disarmed and criminals disobey gun control laws, as they disobey other laws. The facts are too plain to be ignored. Moreover, the consequences are too dangerous to law-abiding citizens, whose lives are put in jeopardy on the basis of fact-free assumptions and unexamined dogmas. Such arguments are a farce, but not the least bit funny. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, I thank thee for good friends, and for the delight that dwells in fellowship. Give me the power to apprehend love, and guard me against the ways to lose it. May I look to my friends to help me to be pure, and to help me live my truest life. Amen.

A verse to share ...to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever. –Isaiah 56:5

Gun control talks rifled with myths OXFORD — Today’s National Rifle Association is a trade association — protecting manufacturers — yet masquerades as a grassroots citizen rights movement. Today’s NRA has convinced legions of people that the Second Amendment is absolute or near-absolute when in fact the making and selling of firearms is one of the most regulated industries in the world. And guess what. Many of the controls were requested or passed with the endorsement of the NRA back in the day. Remember how Lee Harvey Oswald obtained the rifle used to assassinate President Kennedy in 1963? Through the mail. (The ad was actually in the NRA’s American Rifleman magazine.) Guess who testified before Congress in support of a total ban on mail-order sales? Why, a fellow named Franklin Orth, executive vice president of the NRA. The ban on mail-order rifles didn’t pass until 1968, and when it did there were other changes. For the first time, guns were required to have serial numbers. There was a minimum age to buy, felons and the mentally ill were not allowed to own

firearms and only federally licensed dealers could ship across state lines. Charlie That 1968 Mitchell law was the single largColumnist est regulatory move in 50 years, but it was not the first. The National Firearms Act passed in 1934 and the National Gun Control Act passed in 1938. It was the era of Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger and the birth of the Thompson Automatic Rifle. Before the 1938 law was passed, the president of the National Rifle Association was invited to testify, to advise Congress. What did Karl T. Frederick say? “I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.” Much has changed. About 40 years ago, the NRA, which had been founded in 1871 by two former Union Army generals, was co-opted and starting concocting the absolutist narrative that prevails to-

day. In sum, the NRA has sold us on the idea that even discussing a reform is an incremental step toward what government really wants — an unarmed and vulnerable citizenry. No lobby has more power in the Mississippi Legislature than the NRA. It gets what it wants. Records of boating accidents are open to the public. Reports are made when a hunter falls from a tree stand. But if there’s a firearms accident, the record is sealed. Why? To lessen the likelihood that people will come to believe guns are … dangerous. In Mississippi, anybody can sue anybody for anything, right? No. A weapons manufacturer has absolute, statutory immunity from any lawsuit — except if a weapon fails to function. Why does the state have such a law? Because the NRA wanted it. So many myths. If government comes after us, we’ll need to resist. Guess what? If the darkest day comes and America declares war on its people, a guy sitting at a computer console in Colorado can send a rocket down the stovepipe of Bubba’s bunker in Decatur and wipe out Bubba, regardless of the size of his gun collection and

his stockpile of ammo, in half a blink. The truth — the relevant truth — is that the nation already has a bevy of restrictions on nearly every aspect of private ownership of weapons, and a discussion of whether it would be smart to make additional changes is well past due. In fact, it’s what a responsible society would already be doing if the gun-sellers’ association wasn’t sharing so much of its profit with lawmakers and had not convinced so many that government’s end game is to enslave us all. Owning a gun is an important right. It must be respected. But for people who enjoy rapid-fire weapons, why not ban ownership but license target ranges to provide on-premises sport? At one time, the National Rifle Association backed calm, fact-based measures and stood foursquare for responsibility. That doesn’t happen today because Job 1 is to protect the industry. That allows sales records to be broken at gun shops. And cemeteries, too. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)

Why America has sluggish job growth Why has the American economy had such sluggish job creation and economic growth? That’s a pretty fundamental question, and one for which most conventional economists have had unsatisfying answers. Clues can be found, I think, in the book by economist and blogger Arnold Kling. “Specialization and Trade: A Re-Introduction to Economics” is, among other things, a polemic against macroeconomists who treat the economy as what Kling calls a “GDP factory” and who think policymakers can get it producing more by just stepping a little harder on the gas pedal, with federal stimulus spending or low interest rates. Kling sees the economy as the constantly changing sum total of firms, entrepreneurs and individuals specializing in certain work and trading with each other. In the process of that, in a typical month it destroys and creates about 4 million jobs. If the number destroyed persistently exceeds the number created, you have a recession. If the number created only narrowly exceeds the number destroyed, you have what we’ve been living with for the last nine years. Huge numbers of jobs

were destroyed from 2008 to 2009, and since then there has been Michael disappointBarone ingly slow job creation. Columnist In Forbes, Michael Malone points to Economic Innovation Group figures showing that net new businesses fell from 421,000 (1992-1996) and 405,000 (2002-2006) to 166,500 (2010-2014). That indicates a shocking decline in what John Maynard Keynes called “animal spirits.” Reasons are not hard to see. Higher federal tax rates have hurt, and high-tax states have seen businesses flee to low-tax places like Texas. The Obama administration’s record-setting pileon of regulation after regulation surely hurts as well. Obamacare regulations deter many a business from creating job No. 50. Higher minimum wages destroy jobs in which entry workers can develop skills and good work habits. Mandates for increased benefits and leave time crowd out job creation. Another factor, less often stressed, is reduced mobility: Fewer Americans are

up and moving. American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks points out that 50 years ago about 20 percent of Americans moved every year and 25 years ago about 15 percent did. Now it’s down to about 10 percent. In an economy in which patterns of specialization and trade are always changing, Kling argues, it’s impossible to maintain stable local employment patterns. Some places shed jobs; in others jobs are created. Many people need to move to maximize opportunity. These days fewer do. Why? One reason is the explosion of the number of people receiving Social Security Disability Insurance: It’s tripled since 1980, doubled since 1995. Another reason is that young people increasingly are living with their parents. Attending local colleges and junior colleges with cheap in-state tuition also tends to reduce mobility, but it often doesn’t provide job-worthy skills. Or an urge to entrepreneurship. Federal Reserve data indicate that the percentage of under-30s owning all or part of a business is one-third the rate it was in 1989. And a plethora of state occupational licensing

laws, as the Obama White House has argued, close oﬀ opportunities to protect incumbents. Unfortunately, the likely policies of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee would make things worse. Hillary Clinton would increase regulatory burdens and increase the cost of employing people. Her goal, like that of Bernie Sanders, is to make us more like Continental Europe, which has had virtually zero job growth for years. Donald Trump’s promise to “make America great again” promises restoration of a rosily remembered but largely mythical past. Abrogating trade agreements won’t create half a million auto and steel jobs. Trump’s penchant for deal-making and crony capitalism means propping up insiders and preventing job creation. Kling says he’s voting for Gary Johnson. You can see why.

MRHC receives awards for heart attack care Magnolia Regional Health Center (MRHC) has received both the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline Gold Receiving Quality Achievement and the Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks. Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the most deadly type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication. The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program’s goal is to reduce system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks, beginning with the 9-1-1 call and continuing through hospital treatment. MRHC is recognized for having a 85% composite adherence and at least 24 consecutive months of 75% or higher compliance on all Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center quality measures to improve the quality of care for STEMI patients.

Dr. Jeremy Graham, ED Physician, Dr. Nemalan Selvaraj, Interventional Cardiologist, and representatives from the Care Coordination Center, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Department, and Cardiology Department at MRHC celebrate the hospital’s recent award for quality heart attack care. “We are dedicated to improving the quality of care for our patients who suﬀer a heart attack, and the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program is helping us accomplish that goal through nationally respected clinical guidelines,” said Kim Dickerson, clinical director of the Emergency Department at MRHC. “We are pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care, and I am very proud of our team.” MRHC has also been recognized as a recipient of Mission: Lifeline’s Gold-Plus award, which

recognizes the hospital has not only reached an achievement score of 75 percent or greater on all Mission: Lifeline Receiving Center Quality Measures, but also for achieving at least a 75 percent achievement on First Door to Device time under 120 minutes for STEMI transfer patients from other facilities. “We commend Magnolia Regional Health Center for this achievement award, which reflects a significant institutional commitment to the highest quality of care for their heart attack patients,” said Dr. James G. Jollis, chairman of the Mission:

Lifeline Advisory Working Group. “Achieving this award means the hospital has met specific reporting and achievement measures for the treatment of their patients who suﬀer heart attacks and we applaud them for their commitment to quality and timely care.” In addition to receiving the Mission: Lifeline Gold Receiving award, MRHC also received the Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award. Unfortunately, a significant number of STEMI patients don’t receive this prompt reperfusion therapy, which is critical in restor-

ing blood flow. Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that separate these patients from timely access to appropriate treatments. Mission: Lifeline’s EMS recognition program recognizes emergency medical services for their eﬀorts in improving systems of care and improving the quality of life for these patients. Emergency Medical System providers are vital to the success of Mission: Lifeline. EMS agencies perform 12-lead ECGs which measure the electrical activity of the heart and can help determine if a heart attack has occurred. They also follow protocols derived from American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines. These correct tools, training, and practices allow EMS providers to rapidly identify suspected heart attack patients, promptly notify the medical center, and trigger an early response from the awaiting hospital personnel. Agencies that receive the Mission: Lifeline Gold award have demonstrated at least 75 percent compliance for each required achievement measure for two years. “EMTs and paramedics play a vital part in the system of care for those who have heart attacks,” said

Jollis. “Since they often are the first medical point of contact, they can shave precious minutes of lifesaving treatment time by activating the emergency response system that alerts hospitals. We applaud Magnolia Regional Health Center for achieving this award that shows it meets evidence-based guidelines in the treatment of people who have severe heart attacks.” “I am so proud of our team and their continuous eﬀorts to provide the highest quality and prompt care for our patients,” said Mike Lutz, director of EMS at MRHC. “By receiving recognitions such as this, we are confirming that we are meeting the highest standards for cardiac patients and they are receiving timely treatment that can help save their life.” The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program helps hospitals and emergency medical services develop systems of care that follow proven standards and procedures for acute coronary syndrome patients. The program works by mobilizing teams across the continuum of care to implement American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology clinical treatment guidelines.

Deaths Beau Sheppard

Jewell Luther “Beau” Sheppard Jr., 75, of Rienzi passed away on Saturday, June 18, 2016, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. He was born on June 3, 1941, to the late Jewell Sheppard Sr. and Julia Cordell Sheppard. Beau Sheppard began his life growing up in Sandersville, GA, helping his father on the family farm. He was active during his early school career playing football, playing in the band, being involved in FFA, and president of the student council during his formative years and being voted Best All-Around of his senior class. The years growing up in a small tight-knit community helped to shape the man he would become. Beau left Sandersville to attend Middle Georgia College where he met his future wife and life-long partner, Gayle Smith. They eventually married and moved to Atlanta where Beau finished school, graduating from Georgia State University while working nights for General Motors in Doraville. Beau and Gayle started their life together, had two boys and moved their family to Conyers, Ga. in 1972 where Beau took a job as General Manager for Technicarbon and eventually became the vice president. During his time in the Conyers, Ga. area, Beau was an active civic member and played a large role in community development. During his life he held many positions of leadership and support. He was Director of the Rockdale Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of Industrial Development Committee, a Rotarian, served on the Rockdale County Board of Education as both Vice Chairman and Chairman, Sunday School Superintendent of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, Board Member for Boys and Girls Club of Conyers. He also began seven small businesses in Conyers and built Ivy Place Shopping Center. He coached numerous youth sports teams and helped to mentor many young adults during his life. Upon leaving Conyers he started a company called Sun Ribbon in Holland, Mo. While in Missouri he was on the City Council and was a member of the local civic club there. His entrepreneurial spirit was always seeking new ways to aﬀect his community in a positive way. Beau was always there to help his family and friends in any way and his leadership and wisdom were valued by all who knew and loved him. He loved his family to the end and was supported in every way with his wife by his side. Beau will be missed by his wife, chil-

dren, grandchildren, and all of his family who have counted on his love and support throughout the years. A memorial service celebrating Beau’s life will be held at a later date. Magnolia Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements. Those left to honor Beau’s memory include his beloved wife of 53 years; Gayle Sheppard of Rienzi; his sons, Robert Scott Sheppard (Mary) of Moneta, Va. and Todd Christian Sheppard and (Rachel) of Columbus, Ga.; his grandchildren, Alexandra Sheppard Lowe (Dion), Carson Sheppard, Sadie Sheppard, Max Sheppard and Lucy Sheppard; his great-grandchildren, Ian Lowe and Alaya Lowe; his brother, Clayton Sheppard of Sandersville, Ga. and his sisters; Ginny Sheppard Krueger of Atlanta, Ga. and Cecille Sheppard Brown of Sandersville, Ga.; nieces, nephews, other relatives and a host of friends. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Sanctuary Hospice House 5159 W. Main St. Tupelo, MS 38801. Online condolences may be expressed at magnoliafuneralhome.net.

Trump fires campaign manager The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Donald Trump abruptly fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Monday in a dramatic shake-up designed to calm panicked Republican leaders and end an internal power struggle plaguing the billionaire businessman’s unconventional White House bid. In dismissing his longtime campaign chief — just a month before the party’s national convention, Trump signaled, at least for a day, a departure from the seat-ofthe-pants style that has fueled his unlikely rise in Republican politics. Perhaps more than anyone else in Trump’s inner circle, the ousted aide

has preached a simple mantra: “Let Trump be Trump.” “I have no regrets,” Lewandowski told CNN, just hours after he was escorted out of Trump’s Manhattan campaign headquarters. Still, the former conservative activist seemed to acknowledge the limitations of his approach, which has sparked widespread concern among the GOP’s top donors, operatives, elected oﬃcials, and even some of Trump’s family members. “The campaign needs to continue to grow to be successful,” he said. Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, did not address the move publicly on Monday. Spokeswoman

Reasons Why You Should Be a Christian

There are many reasons as high as heaven and as holy as God why all responsible persons should be Christians. Many are not Christians because they have not been taught to see sufficient reasons why they should be. In this article we want to point out a few of the reasons why we should be Christians. Sinners Unfit to Meet God All responsible beings who are not Christians are sinners, hence are unfit to meet God. We are going to meet him, and we ought to be making preparation for this meeting. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Heb. 10: 31.) From Rom. 5: 12 we learn this: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” And then in Rom. 3: 23 we have this striking language: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We cannot go to heaven in our sins. “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsover worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Rev. 21: 27.) My friend, is your name written there? You are not going to heaven because you have or have had a Christian father, mother, wife, husband, or some other dear one who was a genuine Christian. “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” (Gal. 6: 15.) God Has Provided Salvation God knew we were lost. God knew we needed salvation. He loved us sufficiently to provide for our salvation. The blood of Jesus Christ will save us from our sins. Nothing else under God’s shining stars will do it. “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1: 7) Paul told the elders of Ephesus that the church had been purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ. (Acts 20: 28.) Are you within the purchased possession? If you are not, you are in a lost condition. Salvation is in Christ, not out of him. God Offers You Salvation Now Some one has said that hell will be full of people who did not intend to go there. What does this mean? It simply means that many will put off salvation until it is eternally too late. God has not promised to save you next week or next month, or next year, but he has promised to save you now. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Cor. 6:2.) In the last chapter of the Bible we have this stirring appeal: “And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athrist come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22: 17.) My kind reader, if you are not a Christian, will you not think as you have never thought before? Will you not examine the reasons here given for being a Christian and haste to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ by faith, repentance, confession, and baptism? In this way, and in this way only, can you be saved from your past sins. Then after becoming a Christian, remain one while life remains for you, and then go home to glory after awhile. Blessed consummation! Happy Christian! Welcome. Read Acts 10: 1-33

Hope Hicks described the departure merely as a “parting of ways.” A person close to Trump said Lewandowski was forced out largely because of the campaign’s worsening relationship with the Republican National Committee, donors and GOP oﬃcials, who have increasingly criticized the candidate in recent weeks. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss internal deliberations. While Trump dismissed his critics publicly, he has been privately concerned that so many party leaders — House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell among them — have been reluctant to support him, the person said. Trump at least partially blamed Lewandowski. People close to Trump, including adult children Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr., also had long-simmering con-

cerns about Lewandowski, who had limited experience on the national scale before becoming Trump’s campaign leader. Some of them were among those urging the billionaire businessman to change tactics for the general election. “Firing your campaign manager in June is never a good thing,” said veteran Republican operative Kevin Madden. “The campaign will have to show dramatic changes immediately on everything from fundraising and organizing to candidate performance and discipline in order to demonstrate there’s been a course correction. Otherwise it’s just cosmetics.” Lewandowski’s chief internal rival, campaign chairman Paul Manafort, largely inherits the campaign reins. The political veteran has long advocated a more scripted approach backed by a larger and more professional campaign apparatus, although Trump has shown little willingness to embrace a wholesale change in his approach.

Orlando shooter said he was Islamic soldier The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando gunman Omar Mateen identified himself as an Islamic soldier in calls with authorities during his rampage and demanded to a crisis negotiator that the U.S. “stop bombing Syria and Iraq,” according to transcripts released by the FBI on Monday. The partial transcripts were of a 911 call made by Mateen and three conversations he had with the police crisis negotiators during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in which 49 people died and dozens were wounded. Those communications, along with Facebook posts and searches Mateen made around the time of the shootings, add to the public understanding of the final hours of Mateen’s life and to the possible motivations behind the rampage. The first call came more than a half-hour after shots rang out, when Mateen told a 911 operator, “Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God,” he told the dispatcher, referring to God in Arabic. During the 50-second call with a dispatcher, Mateen “made murderous statements in a “chilling, calm and deliberate manner,” Ronald Hopper, FBI assistant special agent in charge in Orlando, said during a news conference. However, there is no evidence Mateen was directed by a foreign terrorist group, and he was radicalized domestically and on his own, Hopper said.

Mateen’s name and the groups and people to whom he pledged allegiance were initially omitted from the excerpt. But the Justice Department reversed course later Monday, providing a more complete transcript confirming Mateen pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State. The extremist group encourages its followers who seek to commit violence in its name to make public pledges of support. The Justice Department said in a statement it initially withheld the names so as not to give extremists “a publicity platform for hateful propaganda,” but the omissions became an unnecessary distraction. Shortly after the call with a 911 operator, Mateen had three conversations with crisis negotiators in which he identified himself as an Islamic soldier and told a negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. He said that was why he was “out here right now,” according to the excerpt. City oﬃcials have refused to provide hundreds of 911 calls to The Associated Press and a coalition of news organizations, citing confidentiality under Florida law, and arguing that an ongoing investigation kept the tapes secret. Hopper also said Monday that the tapes would not be released out of respect for the victims. “Yes, the audio was compelling, but to expose that now would be excruciatingly painful to exploit them in this way,” Hopper said.

High-ranking NYC officers arrested NEW YORK â€” Authorities say the FBI has arrested four people in connection with New York Cityâ€™s ongoing corruption probe, including a New York Police Department commander accused of accepting gifts that included time with a prostitute. A criminal complaint alleges an unidentified real estate executive took James Grant, the commander of an Upper East Side Precinct, on a private jet for Super Bowl weekend in 2013 and arranged for a prostitute who stayed in Grantâ€™s luxury hotel room. It says the executive is cooperating with the government. The head of Grantâ€™s union declined to comment. A businessman who contributed heavily to Mayor Bill de Blasioâ€™s campaign already has pleaded guilty in the widespread case. Earlier this month, federal prosecutors charged the head of the correction officersâ€™ union for allegedly taking kickbacks. Â

Woman admits guilt in dismemberment NEW ORLEANS â€” A woman was sentenced to 40 years in prison Monday in the stabbing death of a Bourbon Street dancer whose dismembered body washed up along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Margaret Sanchez, 32, of Metairie, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice, a year and a day after her exboyfriend, Terry Speaks, 43, was convicted in same killing. He is serving two life sentences. Sanchez acknowledged that she and Speaks met Jaren Lockhart, a 22-year-old mother of three, at her exotic dancing job in the French Quarter and offered her several hundred dollars to come to their home in Kenner. Thatâ€™s where they killed her on June 6, 2012, and cut up her body, prosecutors said. Lockhartâ€™s torso floated ashore a day later in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Other parts

drifted onto beaches over the next few days. Sanchez was charged with second-degree murder. Her guilty plea to the lesser charge of manslaughter avoids a trial that was to begin on July 11. Â

Zika vaccine ready for human testing WASHINGTON â€” An experimental vaccine for the Zika virus is due to begin human testing in coming weeks, after getting the green light from U.S. health officials. Inovio Pharmaceuticals said Monday it received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to begin early-stage safety tests of its DNA-based vaccine against the mosquito-borne virus. That puts the company ahead of researchers at the National Institutes of Health, who have said they expect to begin testing their own DNA-based Zika vaccine by early fall. Inovioâ€™s vaccine is intended to prime the immune system to fight Zika by introducing genetically-engineered material that mimics the virus. Inovio reports that animals tested with the vaccine developed antibodies and immunesystem cells that attack Zika. The NIH is working to develop a Zika vaccine by swapping out the genetic material from its experimental West Nile virus vaccine. Inovio and its partner, GeneOne Life Science, plan to begin a 40-person study to determine the safest dose of the vaccine in coming weeks. Company officials said they expect results from the vaccine study by the end of 2016. Â

Dozens of serpents caught in roundup NOXEN, Pa. â€” Dozens of serpents have been collected as a part of an annual Rattlesnake Roundup in northeastern Pennsylvania.

The largest dark phase and light phase rattlesnakes both came in at nearly 4Â˝ feet. The heaviest rattlesnake weighed 4 pounds, 1.8 ounces, and one hunter brought in a rattlesnake with 13 rattles. The largest nonvenomous snake was a black rat snake that measured nearly 6Â˝ feet. The four-day event sanctioned by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission was first held in 1973 and raises money for the Noxen Fire Department and other local groups. Â

Solar plane begins trans-Atlantic trip NEW YORK â€” A solarpowered airplane has begun its trans-Atlantic flight on the latest leg of its globe-circling voyage. The Swiss-made Solar Impulse 2 took off from New York City early Sunday morning. Bertrand Piccard, who is piloting the aircraft, left at 2:30 a.m. from John F. Kennedy International Airport and will be landing in Seville Airport in Spain over three days later. The Solar Impulse 2â€™s wings, which stretch wider than those of a Boeing 747, are equipped with 17,000 solar cells that power propellers and charge batteries. The plane runs on stored energy at night. Â

Solstice, full moon mark new season The summer solstice marks the seasonâ€™s official arrival around the globe Monday. In the United States, summer begins at 6:34 p.m. on the East Coast. Thatâ€™s when the Sun reaches its highest point in Earthâ€™s sky. Monday also marks the longest period of daylight of the year. The days will get shorter beginning Tuesday until Dec. 21, the winter solstice. Sky watchers will later be treated to a rare full moon coinciding with the solstice. Juneâ€™s full moon has traditionally been nicknamed the honey moon or the strawberry moon because of its large, reddish-amber appearance in the sky.

Police: Stepfather shot man in face JACKSON â€” Jackson police say a Fatherâ€™s Day fight led to a 25-year-old man being shot in the face by his stepfather. Police Commander Tyree Jones told local media outlets officers responded to a call just after 3 p.m. where police found Christian Sullivan had been shot. Jones said Sullivan and his stepfather, 49-year-old Rocky Burke, had a fight and Burke then allegedly retrieved a handgun and shot Sullivan once. He says Sullivan was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he is listed in critical condition. Â

Ex-deputy admits pawning equipment PASCAGOULAÂ â€”Â A retired Jackson County deputy has pleaded guilty to selling sheriffâ€™s department equipment to a pawn shop. The Sun Herald reports Alexander Kieper Jr. pleaded guilty Friday to embezzlement. Judge Dale Harkey set a July 8 sentencing. Authorities say Kieper sold high-end equipment for weapons, including two gun scopes, two gun-scope lenses, two tripods and a pair of binoculars, at Dadâ€™s Super Pawn in Gulfport in June 2015. He told the judge he needed $200 to pay his rent or he was going to be evicted. Â

Trial delayed for man accused in shooting GULFPORT â€” The trial of a man charged with the November 2014 attempted murder of a Gulfport police officer has been delayed. The Sun Herald reports Corey Johnsonâ€™s next court date is Aug. 15. His trial was set to start Monday. Investigators said an officer attempted to pull over a vehicle for a traffic violation, when the passengers, including Johnson, fled on foot. Investigators report Johnson tried to jump over a fence but fell down. Thatâ€™s when officer Dolton Bradley jumped on top of Johnson and they began struggling.

During a preliminary hearing, an investigator testified that a police officerâ€™s dash camera showed Bradley was shot twice during the struggle. After being shot, Bradley was able to knock the gun out of Johnsonâ€™s hands and hold him down until another police officer arrived. Â

Drowning death near casino was accident GULFPORT â€” The Gulfport Fire Departmentâ€™s dive team has recovered the body of a man who dove into the Mississippi Sound in front of the Island View Casino. Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt told The Sun Herald witnesses saw 49-year-old James Lewis dive into the water Sunday evening near the small towers near the harbor that are in front of the hotel and casino. They said he did not come up. Beyerstedt said the dive team -- assisted by the state Department of Marine Resources and the Coast Guard -- recovered his body around 6:30 p.m., after searching for a little more than an hour. The Harrison County coroner has ruled the death an accidental drowning. Â

Donors save contest after no-show prize GREENWOOD â€” Lastminute donors helped save an awards ceremony for a barbecue contest in the Mississippi Delta. The Greenwood Commonwealth reports that the event organizer, Ken Gammill, was at the event part of Saturday but was not around with

the prize money at the end. Three local companies donated $15,000 to cover the prizes. The newspaper reports they were Robertson Fabrication Inc., Scott Petroleum and GE Capital Aviation Service. The contest was part of the Memphis Barbecue Network. The groupâ€™s president, Suzanne Rhea, estimated there are about 40 sanctioned contests in the Southeast each season, from March through November. Rhea says this was the first time someone failed to show up with prize money. She says organizers worked with the city and police after the money disappeared. Â

William Carey offers school of pharmacy BILOXI â€” William Carey University plans to open a school of pharmacy at its campus in Biloxi. The school would be the second pharmacy program in the state. Ole Miss has a pharmacy school on its Oxford campus. William Carey President Tommy King said Friday the pharmacy school is a dream come true for the university. He said it makes sense on the Coast. The Sun Herald reports the university has an ambitious start date for the school -- fall 2018. King says the school has $3.2 million for the startup but will need roughly $600,000 more, mainly to pay the salaries of teachers it has recruited. School officials are considering putting it on the southeast side of the administration building.

Drugstores muscle up up with more than 11,000 U.S. locations if the deal closes as expected later this year. Walgreens bought European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots in 2014, and now operates stores in 11 countries. The new heft will help Walgreens negotiate better deals for generic drugs and, to a lesser extent, branded medications, said Gabelli Funds portfolio manager Jeff Jonas. Robert Willoughby of Credit Suisse expects cost cutting will help retail pharmacy shares in general to perform well despite lackluster sales of the snacks and toothbrushes that they also sell. He rates Walgreens “outperform” partially because the Rite Aid deal will help chop costs even further.

A health care arms race is on: The bigger companies grow, the better they can negotiate prices, which in turn helps propel bottom lines and stock prices. That’s what is behind Walgreens’ pending purchase of Rite Aid for $9.41 billion. Combined, the nation’s largest and third-largest drugstore chains filled more than a billion prescriptions in their last fiscal years. That would rank them among the biggest pharmaceutical buyers in the country, along with CVS and pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts. Regulators still must approve the deal and may force the sale of hundreds of drugstores. Even so, the combination will likely wind

Gaining leverage: The Walgreens-Rite Aid combination would create another company that fills more than 1 billion prescriptions a year. Walgreens (WBA)*

Dear Annie: My husband is in hospice care and I have a caregiver come once a week to give me a break. I truly appreciate her help and pay her an hourly rate. The problem is, the caregiver has dogs and smells like it. I am allergic to dogs, and her scent gives me a headache as soon as I return home, and it continues the following day. The dog scent is in my furniture, around my husband and all over the house. How do I approach this without hurting her feelings? I don’t think she is aware of her dog odor. — Sensitive Nose Dear Sensitive: You have to tell the caregiver that you can smell the dog in your house. Chances are, she is so accustomed to the odor that she doesn’t realize how potent it is. Say that you are very sensitive and ask whether she might consider showering and washing her hair on the days when she comes to your home, and also wearing freshly laundered clothing. (Or she could keep a set of clothes at your house that she can change into.) That might make enough of a diﬀerence for you to tolerate it. If she objects, or if nothing changes, it may be time to find an-

Annie’s Mailbox other caregiver. Someone who causes you to have a headache for an entire day is not giving you the kind of respite you need. We know you like her, but this is a paid position and you should find an employee who fits all of your requirements. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Better Safe than Sorry,” who said all the guys she meets at work are “creepy” and constantly inappropriate. You said she might want to reconsider her work environment. Feminists will not likely appreciate my comments. In addition to her work environment, I would also recommend that the writer look in the mirror and review her appearance, and then consider her words and mannerisms when engaging with these men. She may unintentionally be encouraging inappropriate behavior with the message she is sending these “creepy” men. I am 67 years old and female. I am continually amazed at how many women are oﬀended by men who respond to the woman’s overtly sexual

communication. I am not excusing inappropriate behavior on the part of any man, but I am reminding women that messages are conveyed through what you say, how you say it and your body language. When you get an inappropriate response, review the message you are giving from the perspective of the recipient. — Watch Yourself Dear Watch: Obviously, if a woman is wearing a blouse cut down to her navel and touching a man provocatively while she coos in his ear, she is creating a sexually charged conversation and inviting a similar response. Women cannot do that and then blame the man for reacting. And by the way, this can happen to men, also. Some women misinterpret a guy’s friendliness as flirting, and think he’s more interested than is warranted. And if it happens a lot, those men may need to dial it back. A great many men and women don’t realize how they come across, and any unwanted attention that happens too frequently should be looked into. But let’s face it — too many men think all women are fair game regardless of the circumstances.
