Flag debate stirs strong emotions

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Debate on whether Mississippi should remove the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag has regained life.

The topic was back in the news earlier this week when Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn called the emblem offensive and said the state flag should change.

Locally, views on the flag have been mixed.

“Individuals have the right to fly whatever flag they want, but my opinion is it shouldn’t be a symbol to represent a state or government,” said Corinth’s Markenna Edgeston. “My personal experience has been one of hate and I have never embraced the flag because of that hate.”

Gentry Parker agrees with Edgeston the Confederate emblem doesn’t belong on govern-

ment buildings.

“What is a sense of pride for some is hurtful for others,” said Parker. “I don’t have a problem with people flying the flag or having it on their car, but I don’t think it needs to represent our government … in politics in general, we tend to dig in our heels and think what is best for me instead what is best for the country.”

Mississippi voters decided by a 2-to-1 margin in 2001 to keep the flag which has been used since Reconstruction, with the Confederate symbol in one corner. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said he supports those election results.

So does former Corinthian Garry Henson.

“I am for the people and the last time they voted on it the people voted to keep it.” said Please see FLAG | 6A

Debate on whether the state should remove the Confederate battle emblem from the flag is a hot topic again.

Death row inmate set free after plea

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

An Iuka woman who spent more than a decade on death row after being convicted in the death of her husband is now free after pleading to a lesser charge.

Michelle Byrom, 58, entered an Alford plea of guilt Friday to a single count of conspiracy to commit murder in the 1999 killing of her husband, Eddie Byrom Sr. She was sentenced to

20 years, but was given credit for 16 years and 20 days she had already served with the remainder of the sentence suspended.

In an Alford plea a defendant pleads guilty because they believe there is enough evidence for the state to prove their guilt though they do not actually claim to be guilty of the crime charged.

All aboard, the Slugburger Festival T-shirts are in.

Main Street Director Brent Johnson tore into a box of blue T-shirts Friday morning.

“I like them,” he said. “I sure do hope the public likes them, too.”

The 28th Annual Slugburger Festival T-shirt features a green slug sitting on top of a red caboose similar to the iconic caboose at the Corinth

Depot.

Available in blue or white, the T-shirt is $15 in adult sizes small to 2XL and $10 in youth sizes small to large.

Johnson said the T-shirts can be purchased at The Alliance off Cass Street or at the front gates during the festival weekend.

The popular downtown event is set for July 9-11 and will feature entertainment, food, carnival rides, Green Market and the return of the

World Slugburger Eating Championship.

According to Johnson, Main Street has canceled the Miss Slugburger Pageant just shy of making it’s second year appearance.

“It’s not something we wanted to do, but due to some venue issues and scheduling conflicts we had to,” he said. “We have every intention of bringing it back next year.”

The Alcorn School District Board of Education will do business with a new property and liability insurance provider when the new school begins in August.

Ricky James with Renasant Insurance recently shared with board members the two quotes he received on behalf of the board.

“I would recommend the district move to the insurance pool that the Mississippi School

Board Association provides,” said James. “It would save the district about $48,000 per year in premiums.”

Currently the Mississippi School Board Association provides insurance for 15 schools in the state.

“It is an accessible program which means if claims are more than premiums paid, they could come back down the road and ask each school to pony up their percentage,” James said. “The Please see INSURANCE | 6A

Today in History

Local/Region

Air Force vet settles in as Shiloh leader

BY CAROL HUMPHREYS For the Daily Corinthian

Today is Sunday, June 28, the 179th day of 2015. There are 186 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were shot to death in Sarajevo by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip — an act which some historians say sparked World War I.

On this date: In 1778, the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth took place in New Jersey; it was from this battle that the legend of “Molly Pitcher” arose.

In 1836, the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, died in Montpelier, Virginia.

In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France, ending the First World War. In Independence, Missouri, future president Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth Virginia Wallace.

In 1939, Pan American Airways began regular trans-Atlantic air service with a flight that departed New York for Marseilles, France.

In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Alien Registration Act, also known as the Smith Act, which required adult foreigners residing in the U.S. to be registered and fingerprinted. Corporate lawyer Wendell Willkie received the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Philadelphia (U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles McNary of Oregon was nominated for vice president).

In 1944, the Republican national convention in Chicago nominated New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president and Ohio Gov. John W. Bricker for vice president.

In 1950, North Korean forces captured Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

In 1964, civil rights activist Malcolm X declared, “We want equality by any means necessary” during the Founding Rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity in New York.

In 1975, screenwriter, producer and actor Rod Serling, 50, creator of “The Twilight Zone,” died in Rochester, New York.

In 1989, about 1 million Serbs gathered to mark the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.

In 1996, the Citadel voted to admit women, ending a 153-year-old men-only policy at the South Carolina military school.

SHILOH, Tenn. — As one drives past the vast, green grounds of Shiloh National Military Park on Hwy. 22 in southwest Hardin County, an immediate reverence for what happened there April 6 and April 7, 1862 takes place.

Brief images of Civil War artillery and monuments give an idea of the immense battle that in two days caused more casualties than had been sustained in all the previous American wars. The battleground was just the beginning of what turned out to be a six-month struggle for the key railroad junction in Corinth.

Now, 153 years later after the epic Battle of Shiloh, new park superintendent, Dale Wilkerson, looks over the immense hallowed battlefield with mixed emotions.

“Sometimes when I walk across these beautiful grounds, it is a peaceful feeling, especially when there aren’t any visitors present,” he said.

“It is quiet and serene without any road noises. The only sounds are those of nature.

“But when I put myself in the mindset of what it must have been like in this place for the few days the battle was going on, it becomes a whole different thought process,” he continued. “During the Battle of Shiloh, there were almost 110,000 men on the battlefield, and 24,000 of them were casualties. So one in four men on the battlefield during that two-day period were either injured, captured, killed or missing. By modern standards, there is nothing to compare. If we were to look at modern wars, what if one in every four people we sent over there became a casualty of war?

“That is what happened at Shiloh,” added the superintendent. “The nation, both the North and the South, thought the war would be over

by Christmas that year.

When Shiloh happened, both sides realized the war wasn’t going to be over quickly, but a long and bloody affair.”

Dale Wilkerson became superintendent at Shiloh National Military Park in February. He also oversees the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.

National Park Service for 22 years, became superintendent of Shiloh National Military Park in February. He also oversees The Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center at the site of Battery Robinett.

Since 2007, the NPS employee had been serving as administrative officer at the Natchez Trace Parkway, headquartered in Tupelo. The Natchez Trace is the U.S. Southeast Region’s fourth largest park which puts it on par with the Everglades and the Great Smoky Mountains. It is also the eighth most visited NPS unit in the country.

Before working for the National Park Service, Wilkerson spent 20 years in the U. S. Air Force, having joined the military service after graduating from high school in Birmingham, Ala. While on active duty, he attended college and earned a Master of Business Administration Degree from Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C. He then became a contracting specialist with the Air Force, writing and administering government contracts.

The airman was based at several locations during his military career with his last assignment at the Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, N.C. The base is known for coastal protection, overflying the surrounding areas and was involved in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Wilkerson received numerous medals during his service, including the Defense Mer-

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State’s Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion is encouraging interested members of the campus and surrounding communities to begin registering for the 2015 Men and Women of Color Summit.

Registration for the Aug. 27 and 28 event is free to all and may be completed at www.oidi. msstate.edu/summit.

Now in its fourth year, the summit is designed to engage minority students with faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and others interested in dialogue about critical issues related to academic and professional success.

“Reframing the Dialogue around Men and Women of Color: Academic Success in Higher Education” is this year’s theme for the program

taking place just off campus in The Mill at MSU conference center on Russell Street, opening soon.

“Low retention rates for students of color is an issue that institutions are facing nationwide. We are proud that Mississippi State is taking a proactive approach to eliminate barriers to success,” said NaToya Sanders, OIDI recruitment, retention and program specialist.

itorious Service Medal.

He also performed as a trumpeter with various Air Force field bands.

Upon retiring from the Air Force in 1994, Wilkerson was offered a job working for the National Park Service. The business graduate started out at the contracting end of the NPS and after a few years, became chief of administration. As administrative officer, in addition to the contracting, Wilkerson was responsible for information technology, operations, property management, human resource management, and anything to do with the business aspect of the park service.

In 2010 Wilkerson was temporarily assigned to the NPS Southeast Regional Office in Atlanta and served as the acting regional comptroller. After the park superintendent of the Natchez Trace Parkway was reassigned, Wilkerson was appointed as the acting superintendent of the parkway and performed in that capacity for 17 months during 2012-2013. He was responsible for supervising the Natchez Trace Parkway, Tupelo National Battlefield, Brice’s Cross Roads National Battlefield Site, and the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail.

“I really enjoyed that position and it opened my eyes to the possibility of being a superintendent at another national park,” said the NPS employee. “When I first started working for the national park service al-

most 22 years ago, I did not know much about the park service. This was before the Internet or social media and it was really a matter of learning as I could. I was fortunate to be offered a job by the National Park Service when I left the military and start my career with them. Over the years I have just fallen in love with our national parks.

It’s really been a great job and an honor to be a caretaker of these great resources for the American people.”

Wilkerson credits his experience at the Natchez Trace Parkway for preparing him for his new job at Shiloh. The superintendent who said he’d always been a “history geek,” also learned a great deal from his staff at both Shiloh and the Corinth Interpretive Center.

“We have a lot of people on our staff who are professional historians who have researched and know all about the Battle at Shiloh and the Siege and Battle of Corinth, and how the two are interrelated,” he said. “I learn something new every time I talk with them.

They have a lot of good stories to tell and they know the nuances of history that are amazing.”

An upcoming event the park superintendent is very enthusiastic about is the 2016 National Park Service Centennial.

“It’s going to be a big birthday celebration all across the nation,” said Wilkerson. “There are 406 parks in the national park system and all of them will be doing special events during 2016.

It will kick off on Jan. 1 with the Rose Bowl Parade where the parade committee has dedicated all the floats to the national park system.”

Wilkerson said there are a lot of special events now in the planning stages for both Shiloh and the Corinth Interpretive Center. Ideas include a large living history event on the anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, a “concert in the park” series and a luminary event during the Oct. 2-4, 2016 anniversary of the Battle of Corinth.

“The only way we are going to be able to do some

of these events is with a lot of help from volunteers,” said the park overseer.

“We are trying to get the message out if people want to volunteer, we want to hear from them.

If we try to put out 15,000 to 20,000 luminaries, it takes a lot of people to make that happen.”

This goes hand in hand with one of the National Park Services’ centennial initiatives called, “Find Your Park.”

“The National Park Service is caretaker of our great parks which belong to the American people,” said Wilkerson. “We want everyone to connect with the parks, and find their own park. We want folks to know Shiloh and Corinth are right here in their back yard. I really want them to see what a wonderful resource we have here and to be able to enjoy it.”

“Over the next few years, I’d love to build a cadre of volunteers to help us with the park,” he added. “We want everyone to fall in love with their park and want to help to maintain and preserve it.”

The park superintendent, who has been commuting back and forth from Tupelo to Shiloh, recently purchased a house in Adamsville, Tenn. His wife, Patti, is a medical transcriptionist for North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. The couple have two children, Dr. Erin Pace, a pharmacist living in California, and Adam, an electrical engineer who lives in Huntsville, Ala. Prior to moving, he taught adult Sunday School Class and played drums in the praise band at St. Luke United Methodist in Tupelo.

More information on volunteering for the “Park Centennial” at both Shiloh National Military Park and the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center will be provided at a later date. More information on “Find Your Park” can be found by visiting findyourpark.com.

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Voters should decide Mississippi flag design We believe the debate over the removal of the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag should be decided by Mississippi voters.

Many of our elected leaders have been vocal about the issue, including House Speaker Phillip Gunn and U.S. Senators Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker. All three say remove the emblem.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves has said Mississippi voters, not lawmakers, should decide whether to remove the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag.

We agree with Reeves.

Reeves, who presides over the state Senate, spoke about the issue a day after House Speaker Philip Gunn called the emblem offensive and said the state flag should change.

Mississippi voters decided by a 2-to-1 margin in 2001 to keep the flag that has been used since Reconstruction, with the Confederate symbol in one corner. Gov. Phil Bryant has said he supports those election results.

Debate about the flag rekindled after the recent massacre of black worshippers in a South Carolina church.

“The same discussion South Carolinians are having now is one that Mississippians had 14 years ago when nearly two-thirds of our state voted to keep our current flag,” noted Reeves.

“If the citizens of our state want to revisit that decision, and I am sure at some point we may, it will best be decided by the people of Mississippi, not by outsiders or media elites or politicians in a back room.”

The Mississippi NAACP, which pushed to change the flag in 2001, is calling again for a redesign that eliminates the Confederate symbol. In a statement early last week, the civilrights group referred to photos of the man charged in the Charleston slayings, Dylann Storm Roof, holding the Confederate battle flag.

The NAACP statement said “the images of him with the Confederate flag demonstrate why Mississippi needs to make sure symbols of our state’s ugly history are never promoted or celebrated.”

Mississippi lawmakers’ next regular session begins in January.

The state Supreme Court ruled in May 2000 that the 1894 Mississippi flag lacked official recognition because when state laws were updated in 1906, sections dealing with the flag and the state coat of arms were not put into the new code. Ronnie Musgrove, who was governor in 2000, created a 17-member flag commission that held a series of public hearings, some of which degenerated into shouting matches between flag supporters and opponents.

The April 2001 ballot had two options: The 1894 flag, or an alternative that replaced the Confederate emblem with circles of 20 stars to represent Mississippi’s status as the 20th state in the union.

The debate continues today, but we think people from outside our state should not dictate what we in Mississippi should do.

Nor do we think our legislature and senate should be the ones to decide.

Let’s talk openly on both sides of the issue to keep or change, then we the people decide the outcome.

It worked 14 years ago. It should again today.

Democracy prevails. The debate ends.

It is telling that the South Carolina governor who called for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the state Capitol is a woman, an Indian-American – and a Republican.

The rush to efface the Confederate symbol from the South in the wake of the Charleston shootings, with Gov. Nikki Haley among the leaders, is a lagging indicator. The region has been transformed over the past 50 years, from an institutionally racist backwater to a part of the American mainstream more alluring to African-Americans than less dynamic parts of the country.

Dylann Roof is many things: a racist and a terrorist, pathetic and hellishly cruel. But he is not a representative Son of the South.

The left has nonetheless been channeling a less tasteful version of former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s old dictum: Never let a hideous massacre go to waste. It has pointed fingers at the GOP’s Southern strategy and at the South more generally, distorting the partisan history of the region and ignoring changes there since the 1950s.

Gerard Alexander of the University of Virginia, Sean

The Southern lie Trende of RealClearPolitics and Jay Cost of The Weekly Standard all have writRich ten against Lowry the idea that the SouthNational ern strategy Review was racism incarnate.

There was undoubtedly a racial component to the region’s partisan shift, but among other things, the South simply got richer.

It’s amazing what earning enough money to have a substantial tax bite will do to your politics.

The father of the Republican Southern strategy was that racist old coot Dwight Eisenhower, who – is it possible to wrap your head around the enormity? – wanted to begin to win some Southern electoral votes. Ike won four Southern states in 1952 and five in 1956, when he won the popular vote in the region.

And he did it while supporting civil rights.

How was this possible?

The GOP had begun picking off the less uniformly Democratic areas of the New South. As Alexander writes, the GOP’s Southern electorate “was disproportionately suburban, middle-class,

educated, younger, non-native-Southern, and concentrated in the growth-points that were, so to speak, the least ‘Southern’ parts of the South.”

So 1964, when Barry Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act, wasn’t a point of radical departure. The Republicans steadily gained strength as the Old South figuratively and literally died off. Republicans didn’t take a majority of Southern congressional seats until 1994. Not until 2010 did they gain unified control of the Alabama state Legislature.

The left doesn’t expend much energy complaining about the South’s contribution to the most important progressive electoral victories of the 20th century – the elections of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt – but obsesses over Republican strength in a region that, morally and politically, is light-years from the Solid Democratic South of yore.

Of course, the South still lags in many ways, and there are parts of Southern exceptionalism that are distasteful. Consider one key indicator, though: Blacks are voting in favor of the South with their feet by migrating from elsewhere in the country, in a reversal of

the Great Migration of the 20th century.

The region is no longer characterized by its system of vicious racism but its diversity. According to the Population Reference Bureau, “Among large metropolitan areas with a total population of 500,000 or more, the least segregated metros were located in the faster-growing South and West.”

It no longer deliberately blights the prospects of blacks but affords them opportunities not available elsewhere. The urban expert Joel Kotkin ranked metropolitan areas by homeownership, entrepreneurship and median household income and concluded: “Today, Dixie has emerged, in many ways, as the new promised land for AfricanAmericans.”

This is an American triumph. One of the most extraordinary things about the reaction to the horror of Charleston on the ground was the unity and civility that characterized it – another wonder of a transformed South that, in many ways, is better than its hidebound and blinkered critics.

Foreign policy downplayed in announcement speeches American presidents have greater leeway on foreign policy than on domestic issues. Just see how President Obama is forging ahead to an agreement with Iran opposed by large majorities in Congress and among voters.

A president’s personal predilections and core assumptions can have much more of an effect on his foreign policy than on domestic issues. You can draw a straight line from Obama’s 2008 judgment that Iraq was a “stupid” war to the decisions that have led to the mess we see there today.

So it’s useful for voters to get as much insight as possible during campaigns about a potential president’s thinking on foreign policy. Unfortunately, they didn’t get much from the “announcement” speeches this past week of two candidates with prominent political pedigrees, Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.

Only 253 of the 2,234 words in Bush’s speech text touched on foreign policy.

He provided criticisms of “the Obama-Kerry-Clinton team” in cryptic shorthand on which he may expand as the campaign goes on.

Obama and his team, Bush said, are so eager to be history makers that they Michael haven’t been Barone peacemakers.

Their Columnist legacy is “crises uncontained, violence unopposed, enemies unnamed, friends undefended and alliances unraveling.”

Bush promises to “rebuild our armed forces,” “our vital friendships” and “American-led alliances.”

He criticized administration policies toward Israel and Cuba, of particular interest in South Florida but also to Republican voters nationally. The only other foreign nation mentioned was Mexico, as the native country of his wife.

Most voters believe, correctly I think, that Bush’s father and brother had different approaches to foreign policy, and Bush has stumbled already when asked whether he approved of their past decisions.

One might have expected that Hillary Clinton, who served as secretary of state

for four years, would have more to say on foreign policy. She did, barely. Her speech text included 319 words on the subject, slightly more than Bush’s. But her speech was more than twice as long as his, 4,687 words of prepared text. So 89 percent of Bush’s speech was on other topics and 93 percent of Clinton’s was.

And most of those 294 words were anodyne. There was a shout-out to the United Nations, visible to the south, “where I represented our country many times.”

There was a call “to maintain our leadership for peace, security and prosperity.”

Clinton asserted that America is “better equipped” than any other nation “to meet traditional threats from countries like Russia, North Korea and Iran.” Similarly on “emerging threats from cyber attacks, transnational terror networks like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and diseases that spread across oceans and continents.”

After hailing her work on the Senate Armed Services Committee to maintain a strong military, she called for “using every element of America’s power, including

skillful diplomacy, economic influence and business partnerships” to improve life around the world.

One can see why Clinton may see cause to downplay foreign policy despite her recent leading role therein.

In his first term, Obama’s job approval on foreign policy was well over 50 percent.

More recently, it has been well under that, sometimes and on some issues in the 30s. Clinton’s connection with this record is obvious.

Clinton, if she wins, would be the first former secretary of state to be elected since James Buchanan – not an encouraging precedent.

Reporters who have been demanding Bush and other Republicans say how they would have acted in 2003 may want to ask Clinton about how she actually did act between 2009 and 2013 – and what she would do going forward.

USDA: Day cares need healthier fare KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A federal program that feeds millions of lowincome children may be overhauled for the first time in almost 50 years to make the meals healthier and reduce obesity.

About 3.8 million young children are fed daily through the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which primarily reimburses day-care providers. Another 120,000 elderly or disabled adults are fed each day in programs designed to spell caregivers.

More vegetables and less sugar lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s proposals.

Grain-based desserts like cookies would no longer be reimbursed, and children younger than 1 wouldn’t be offered juice.

Man rides coaster for 12,000th time MASON, Ohio — A 73-year-old man has taken his 12,000th ride on his favorite roller coaster at King’s Island amusement park in Ohio.

The park says Gary Coleman of Monfort Heights took the milestone ride in the front row of the Diamondback roller coaster on Monday.

The retired minister has made 493 trips to the theme park outside of Cincinnati since 2009, when the 230foot steel roller coaster opened. It’s the tallest and fastest roller coaster at Kings Island and reaches speeds of 80 mph.

vetoes shows a lack of leadership and that his attacks on fellow Republicans are counterproductive. Finally, they say his latest actions, including meddling in a charter school’s personnel decisions, are distracting from his agenda.

Spokesman Peter Steele says LePage has been forced to use unconventional tactics to bring change to a state that had long been under Democratic rule. He dismissed the idea that LePage is being pushed out of the political picture.

Deformed mutt is World’s Ugliest Dog PETALUMA, Calif. — A 10-year-old mutt named Quasi Modo, whose spinal birth defects left him a bit hunchbacked, is the winner of this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog contest.

The pit bull-Dutch shepherd mix and his owner took the $1,500 prize Friday night, besting 25 other dogs competing in the contest that applauds imperfection, organizers said.

Quasi Modo was abandoned at an animal shelter before being adopted by a veterinarian in Loxahatchee, Florida, according to his biography posted on the contest’s website.

“My appearance can be a little unsettling to some (I have had grown men jump on top of their cars to get away from me because they thought I was a hyena or Tasmanian devil) but once they get to know me I win them over with my bubbly personality,” his biography said.

Some in GOP fed up Cosby lawyer: Court with Maine governor files embarrassing AUGUSTA, Maine — Republican Gov. Paul LePage’s bombastic leadership style long ago alienated Democrats. Now even some in his own party are fed up, saying his highprofile antics have squandered his political capital.

Critics say his decision to retreat to his office and issue a flurry of

PHILADELPHIA — A lawyer for Bill Cosby argued Friday that it would be “terribly embarrassing” for the comedian if documents from a 2005 sex-assault lawsuit were unsealed.

Cosby is fighting efforts by The Associated Press to unseal motions from a lawsuit he settled with a former Temple University employee.

The lawsuit accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting the woman at Cosby’s home. The settlement is confidential.

Cosby’s lawyer argued that his client’s deposition could reveal details of Cosby’s marriage, sex life and prescription drug use.

“It would be terribly embarrassing for this material to come out,” lawyer George M. Gowen III argued.

He said the public should not have access to what Cosby was forced to say as he answered questions under oath from the accuser’s lawyer nearly a decade ago.

Hawaii bans sea cucumber harvest HONOLULU — The Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources has approved an emergency ban on the possession of sea cucumbers amid reports that people are harvesting the animals in large quantities for commercial purposes.

The department said in a statement Friday that the ban will be in place for 120 days while an investigation continues. Gov. David Ige is expected to sign the emergency administrative rules, according to the statement.

The results of the investigation will likely lead to permanent regulations for harvesting sea cucumbers, which are highly prized for medicine and food in some countries. Those regulations would also need to be approved by the governor.

Sea cucumbers are known to remove sediment and other material that can affect the overall health of Hawaii’s coral reefs.

Across the State Associated Press

Two arrested while brandishing shotgun GULFPORT — Two Harrison County men who allegedly brandished a shotgun at a Gulfport business have been arrested for disturbance of the peace.

The Sun-Herald reports that 19-year-old Holton Wade Saucier, who allegedly carried the gun, was booked with disturbance in a public place and disturbance of public peace.

Bond was set at $1,054.

Eighteen-year-old William Cordell Kennon, was arrested on a disturbance in a public place charge. His bond was $677.

Police said Saucier was carrying the gun legally but he then loaded the shotgun and pumped it in front of witnesses at a Wal-Mart store. That led prompted a call to police and the arrests of Saucier and Kennon.

Casino revenue drop may mean tax hike CLARKSDALE — The Yazoo Mississippi Delta Levee Board is holding a public meeting July 9 on a proposed tax increase.

Since 1996, levee board has not raised taxes. The Clarkdale Press Register reports that’s likely to change.

The levee board — which is tasked with maintaining the levee system in 12 counties — gets its revenue from casino rentals. The levee board charges rent to the casinos docked along the banks of the Mississippi River.

Since 2008, after the economic collapse and

the creation of newer casinos in other parts of the country, the Mississippi Delta casinos have made less and less money. Harrah’s closed its Tunica casino in June 2014.

Levee board attorney John Henson says the board is facing a $3.6 million deficit in the next fiscal year.

Pecan House plans Indianola expansion INDIANOLA — The Indianola Pecan House has announced an expansion that will add 10 jobs.

The company says in a news release the project represents a $50,000 corporate investment and will bring the total number employed at the Indianola location to 60.

For the expansion, Indianola Pecan House will relocate its cracking and cooking operations into a 40,000-square-foot facility purchased from the Sunflower County.

Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance in support of the project for infrastructure improvements. The city of Indianola provided assistance for the project, as well.

Founded in 1979, Indianola Pecan House, home of the original praline pecan, specializes in gourmet specialty pecans, pecan candies, pies, cookies and more.

Training Air Wing One has new leader MERIDIAN — Paul Carelli, who earned his pilot’s wings 20 years ago at Naval Air Station Meridian, is the new commander of Training

Air Wing One. On Thursday, local media outlets reported that Carelli relieved Capt.

Brian Goszkowicz, who is moving on to an assignment with the Naval Reserve and the University of Mississippi and University of Memphis.

Carelli comes back to Meridian from the Pentagon. Carelli earned his own wings of gold at NAS Meridian in 1995.

Greenwood schools accused of violations GREENWOOD — Greenwood school officials are withholding comment until they can study a preliminary audit report from the Mississippi Department of Education that suggests the system is in violation of some state policies and standards.

The audit was conducted during several visits to the district between April 30 and May 22.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports the audit was delivered to the district Wednesday and it obtained a copy Thursday.

Among the issues raised in the preliminary report are numerous problems with the minutes of Greenwood School Board meetings, misreporting district information to state officials and problems with the district’s financial management.

Education Department auditors allege the district’s employee pay scale was inconsistently applied, with supplements and salaries for some employees not matching those set by the school board.

of capital murder in 2000 and sentenced to death. She was accused at the time of ordering the killing of her husband and involving her son, Eddie Byrom Jr. in the plot In March 2014 her conviction was thrown out by the Mississippi Supreme Court and a new trial ordered in the case.

Eddie Byrom Jr. and Joey Dale Gillis, who were also originally charged in the case, both pleaded guilty in 2001 and have been released after

serving their sentences.

Interim District Attorney John Weddle said he believes justice was served in the outcome of the case.

“This was a just disposition of Byrom’s case. To re-try this case would not be in the interest of justice nor would it serve any legitimate purpose for the citizens of Tishomingo County. Ms. Byrom was not directly involved in the shooting of her husband but has served a longer sentence than Byrom, Jr. or Gillis,” said Weddle.

pool we would be in only includes schools in our area and would not include schools on the coast.”

Last year, the district used Liberty Mutual who offered a fully insured plan.

“This year’s renewal quote with Liberty Mutual is almost $50,000 higher than it was last year, plus they have raised the premiums to $250,000. We were paying $198,000,” added James.

The Mississippi School Board Association trust pays the first $150,000 of any one occurrence with

a $10,000 deducible on all property claims.

“I would rather be fully insured with Liberty, but I can’t recommend it with that much difference in premiums,” said James. “One thing to remember with the pool is one school isn’t going to cause it to go up. There would have to be a catastrophic event before it would effect our premium.”

The board voted 4-0 to accept the low quote.

Board member Russ Nash abstained, because he also serves as a board member on the Mississippi School Board Association.

“The Confederate emblem was nothing but a rallying point for the Confederacy,” added Bobby McDaniel. “It does not have anything to do with slavery.”

McDaniel believes the debate ended when Mississippi voters voted to keep the flag in 2001.

“My objection is giving the flag up because it hurts someone’s feelings,” he said. “It’s a symbol of the past and I am not going to give up my flag.”

Col. W.P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans member Buddy Ellis is also against changing the flag.

“I do not believe the emblem should be removed and the Sons of Confederate Veterans do not believe in changing it,” said Ellis.

“Those nut cases who go out and use the the flag for their own personal reasons make the rest of us look bad.”

Debate about the flag rekindled after the massacre of black worshippers in a South Carolina church.

The Mississippi NAACP, which pushed to change the flag in 2001, is calling again for a redesign that eliminates the Confederate symbol. The NAACP statement said “the images of Dylan Storm Roof, the man charged in the Charleston, S.C. slayings, with the Confederate flag demonstrate why Mississippi needs to make sure symbols of our state’s ugly history are never promoted or celebrated.”

“Unfortunately, when others see the flag it draws a response which isn’t

WE SEE KIDS:

to the conversation.”

“I have friends who love and embrace the flag as part of their heritage and I understand that,” added Edgeston. “It’s all about what your experience has been and I am for unity and not for any kind of hatred.”

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves believes the decision to change the flag should rest in the hands of Mississippi voters.

“The same discussion South Carolinians are having now is one that Mississippians had 14 years ago when nearly two-thirds of our state voted to keep our current flag,” Reeves stated in a news release. “If the citizens of our state want to revisit that decision, and I am sure at some point we may, it will best be decided by the people of Mississippi, not by outsiders or media elites or politicians in a back room.”

Gov. Bryant said Thursday he will not call Mississippi lawmakers back to the Capitol to consider removing a Confederate battle emblem from the state flag.

The head of the Legislative Black Caucus, Democratic Sen. Kenny Wayne Jones, had called on Bryant earlier Thursday to set a special session to bring “true dialogue and full resolution” on redesigning a flag that many see as racially divisive.

Bryant added that he only calls special sessions for legislators to respond to a natural disaster or to handle a large economic development project.

always the best,” said Corinth’s Chip Wood. “You want to have positive things said about the state and not spend time defending it to others … you want to brag about all that your state has to offer and I would be in support of changing the flag due to the fact it is the symbol of our state.”

The state Supreme Court ruled in May 2000 that the 1894 Mississippi flag lacked official recognition because when state laws were updated in 1906, sections dealing with the flag and the state coat of arms were not put into the new code. Democrat Ronnie Musgrove, who was governor in 2000, created a 17-member flag commission that held a series of public hearings, some of which degenerated into shouting matches between flag supporters and opponents.

The April 2001 ballot had two options: The 1894 flag, or an alternative that replaced the Confederate emblem with circles of 20 stars to represent Mississippi’s status as the 20th state in the union.

The 2-to-1 margin to keep the flag roughly reflected the white-to-black balance of the state population, and with few exceptions the 1894 flag prevailed in majority-white precincts, while the proposed new flag was favored in majority-black precincts.

“I was born, raised and love the South, but how would I feel if my ancestors were slaves?” asked Parker.

Some rush to marry while opponents balk

BY DAN SEWELL Associated Press

CINCINNATI — With the mayor of Dayton declaring “you are now husband and husband,� the wait for Ohio to allow same-sex marriage ended for a gay couple in the city just as it is ending for couples across the last states with bans on such unions — even if the opposition isn’t over.

Some couples rushed to marriage license bureaus and even wed Friday within hours of the Supreme Court ruling that said gay couples can marry anywhere in the country including in the 14 remaining states with bans. Steadfast activists who say traditional marriage is defined as a man and a woman vowed to defend rights of religious objectors and to try to battle back politically.

There were also scattered holdouts, with some officials in those states contending they needed more time and legal di-

rection before complying with the 5-4 ruling. “Texans’ fundamental right to religious liberty remains protected,� Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said. “No Texan is required by the Supreme Court’s decision to act contrary to his or her religious beliefs regarding marriage.�

His office later clarified a directive to state agencies telling them to preserve religious liberties, saying the order didn’t allow them to discriminate against employees in same-sex couples. Samesex couples got marriage licenses Friday in Dallas, Austin and the state’s other big cities, but many counties were holding off after the Texas attorney general urged them not to rush. A couple counties claimed technical glitches prevented them from processing licenses for gay couples.

Governors in Louisiana and Mississippi also railed against the ruling.

“This has always been about our religious freedoms and the persecution of those who believe same-sex unions are wrong,� said Phil Burress, longtime leader of the Citizens for Community Values in suburban Cincinnati. “Now the persecutions will begin.�

The Roman Catholic archbishop of Cincinnati said the high court disregarded the will of voters in Ohio and other states, besides disregarding an understanding of marriage shared by virtually all cultures until recently. “Every nation has laws limiting who and under what circumstances people can be married,� Archbishop Dennis Schnurr said in a statement.

Religious organizations are exempt from the ruling, and churches including Southern Baptists, Mormons and others that oppose same-sex marriages can still make their own decisions about whether clergy will con-

duct gay marriages in their places of worship.

The high court gave the losing side some three weeks to ask for reconsideration. The 14 states that had banned gay marriage are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, most of Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas.

Meanwhile, in Kansas, where some counties have continued to refuse to comply with federal rulings that gay couples could marry, the attorney general and Gov. Sam Brownback said they would study the Supreme Court ruling further before making any moves in a lawsuit over the state’s voter-passed ban.

An ACLU official said the state leaders should “admit defeat.�

Officials at the county courthouse in Toledo, Ohio, called in another minister to perform same-sex marriages Fri-

day because the rotating minister on duty wouldn’t marry gay couples, said the Rev. Sandra Frost, who married the first couple around noon.

Some county clerks in other states refused gay couples, citing a threeweek grace period allowed by the Supreme Court or forms now out of date that specify “bride� and “groom.�

Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond (Virginia) law professor, said political opponents of same-sex marriage will likely push legislation to expand religious freedom and to aim at protecting those who don’t want to participate in actions that facilitate same-sex marriage.

Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert said lawmakers should push for a U.S. constitutional amendment on marriage under a provision that would trigger a constitutional convention if 34 states apply for it. The Republican

said the Supreme Court “has brought us to the brink of real crisis in our country� by ruling against the will of the people.

Burress pledged to go after politicians who have supported same-sex marriage, predicting outrage over the decision will bring out a wave of new voters.

Among those who have drawn his ire is Ohio’s Republican U.S. senator, Rob Portman, who switched his position to support same-sex marriage after his son Will came out to him and his wife Jane as gay.

Portman, who is seeking re-election in 2016, said Friday he welcomed the ruling “as a father,� although he would have preferred that the issue be resolved by the democratic process because that builds a lasting consensus. He said he hopes the ruling means “we can move past the division and polarization the issue has caused.�

Funerals held for slain church members Relatives wait hours for word after crash

BY JONATHAN DREW, JEFFREY COLLINS &Â MEG KINNARD Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Funerals for three more victims of a deadly shooting during a Bible study in South Carolina were being held Saturday at the church where they were slain.

Services were first held for 54-year-old Cynthia Hurd at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, 11 days after a gunman entered the church and killed her and eight other people — all African-Americans. Police contend the attack was racially motived.

Hurd, a long-time Charleston librarian, will be remembered as a tireless public servant and loving family member, speakers at her funeral said. Attendees included South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. “Her death will lead to change and Cynthia Hurd will be helping millions,� said Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley Jr. during a eulogy.

Riley remembered Hurd as a young girl serving ice cream. She went from serving people ice cream, he said, “to leading them to knowledge,� as a librarian for almost 30 years.

The killings will go down in history with other episodes of church violence, Riley said, referencing the Civil Rightsera bombing of a Baptist church in Alabama that killed four girls.

The tragedy “shook an America that didn’t want to believe this kind of hate could still exist,�

Riley said.

Funerals for Tywanza Sanders, 26, Susie Jackson, 87, were to take place at the church later in the day.

The funerals follow one Friday for another victim, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, whose eulogy was delivered in person by President Barack Obama.

Obama sang a hymn of hope and spoke with the fervor of a preacher as he eulogized Pinckney, and minced no words in calling for an end to racial injustice and gun violence in the United States. Obama suddenly began singing “Amazing Grace,� quickly joined by ministers and some of the thousands who packed into the arena at the College of Charleston in South Carolina.

The nation’s first black president called for gun control and efforts to eliminate poverty and job discrimination, and said the Confederate battle flag — long a symbol of Southern pride — must be removed from

places of honor. “For many — black and white — that flag was a reminder of systemic oppression and racial subjugation. We see that now,� he said during Pinckney’s funeral Friday.

Hours later, a woman was arrested early Saturday on the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol in Columbia after scaling a flagpole to rip down a Confederate flag that flew at the Statehouse.

Bree Newsome, 30, was arrested immediately afterward. She and James Ian Tyson, 30, also of Charlotte, face misdemeanor charges in the incident.

Obama came to Charleston on Friday to eulogize Pinckney, a state senator and pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, a church founded by the leader of a failed slave revolt and burned to the ground by angry whites in 1822. After the Civil War, the church led efforts to expand equal rights in the South, hosting Martin Luther King Jr. during campaigns in South Carolina. “We do not know whether the killer of Rev. Pinckney and eight others knew all of this history,� the president said. “But he surely sensed the meaning of his violent

act. It was an act that drew on a long history of bombs and arsons and shots fired at churches; not random, but as a means of control, a way to terrorize and oppress.� “An act that he imagined would incite fear, and incrimination, violence and suspicion. An act he presumed would deepen divisions that trace back to our nation’s original sin,� Obama continued, his voice rising in the cadence of the preachers who preceded him. “Oh, but God works in mysterious ways!�

Obama said, and the crowd rose to give him a standing ovation. “God has different ideas!�

Obama spoke plainly about the ugliness of America’s racial history — from slavery to the many ways minorities have been deprived of equal rights in more recent times. Taking down the Confederate flag is a righteous step, “but God doesn’t want us to stop there,� he said.

Americans should want to fight poverty with as much effort as they fight hate, and realize that hate isn’t always obvious, he said, “so that we’re guarding against not just racial slurs, but we’re guarding against the subtle impulse to call Johnny back for a job interview, but not Jamal.�

BY BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — For Pat and Judy Thompson, it was a “five-hour window of fearing the worst.�

On Friday as the couple from Minnetonka, Minnesota, were getting ready for their day, Judy Thompson flipped on the TV and heard about a sightseeing plane carrying cruise ship passengers that crashed in Alaska, killing all nine on board.

The news rattled the couple; their son, Brian, was on cruise vacation to Alaska with his girlfriend, and they were pretty adventurous. Could they have been on that plane?

Eight passengers from the Holland America Line ship Westerdam and a pilot died when a DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter turboprop went down Thursday in Misty Fjords National Monument near Ketchikan in southeast Alaska. The shore excursion was sold through Holland America.

The plane crashed on a cliff, 800 feet above a lake in steep, muddy and slippery terrain, said Chris John with the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad.

The fuselage was largely intact, but the wings and tail were separated or heavily deformed, he said.

A recovery crew reached

the crash site Friday.

John said the aircraft was sitting at a steep angle and three members from his organization had to secure it so they could safely work to recover the bodies.

Alaska State Troopers tentatively identified the victims as Hal Cheney, 71, and Mary Doucette, 59, of Lodi, California; Glenda Cambiaso, 31, and Hugo Cambiaso, 65, of North Potomac, Maryland; June Kranenburg, 73, and Leonard Kranenburg, 63, of Medford, Oregon; Margie Apodaca, 63, and Raymond Apodaca, 70, of Sparks, Nevada; and the pilot, Bryan Krill, 64, of Hope, Idaho.

Their remains will be taken to and positively identified at the state medical examiner’s office in Anchorage.

Pat Thompson said he left messages on his son’s cell. He tried a sales department number for the cruise line but got no help, he said. He reached an Alaska State Trooper in Ketchikan, who gave him a family-line number for Holland America. When he got through, the person who answered asked for his son’s name. When he gave it, “she said, well, you know, I’m happy to tell you that he was not on the plane,� he said.

Here are a few suggestions for helping you reach that goal:

I can’t promise you better roads, or more jobs but I can promise you one thing; I am certiďŹ ed, qualiďŹ ed, and accomplished enough to do this life long dream of mine.

Constable is a job that I hold near and dear to my heart. I am seeking the ofďŹ ce of CONSTABLE because I feel in life everyone has a calling and mine is serving the public.

ing debts can be used to save and invest for your future. So look for ways to cut down on your spending and think about postponing some purchases until you can pay for them in cash. It may not be easy, but it’s possible. And by putting this “found money� to work immediately in quality investments, you may motivate yourself to keep a lid on your debt level.

Unlock the power of time Albert Einstein once said, “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.� Einstein, who knew a thing or two about the nature of time, clearly recognized its importance in investing. In fact, as an investor, time may be your greatest ally. The more years in which you invest, the more dollars you’ll put in, and the longer you’ll have for your investments to potentially grow. Even if you’re just starting out in your career and can only invest a small amount each month, you’ll be starting to accumulate the amount you’ll eventually need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

Release your investments’ growth potential To attain financial freedom during your retirement years, you will need to invest for growth — it’s that simple. So include an appropriate amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your overall investment mix. Ultimately, this mix should be based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and specific long-term goals.

Free your investments from ‘clustering’ In the investment world, as in many other arenas of life, you can have “too much of a good thing.� For example, if you own a particular investment, such as a stock, that has done well, you might think that it’s a good idea to own more of the same type of stock. But when investing, duplication can be dangerous, because if a market downturn affects one asset class particularly hard, and much of your portfolio is tied up in that asset class, you could take a big hit. Instead of “clustering� your dollars around a single asset or two, you could diversify your holdings by owning a mix of stocks, bonds, government securities and other vehicles.

While diversification can potentially help you reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings, a diversified portfolio can’t guarantee a profit or protect you from loss.

Achieving any type of freedom, in any kind of endeavor, takes time and effort. That’s certainly the case with financial freedom— you will need to consistently make the right moves, over a period of many years, before you can finally declare your fiscal independence.

But once you reach that point, you will likely conclude that your diligence and dedication were well worth it.

The Chancery Clerk is: • The Chief Financial Officer of the County.

I have 28 years of experience working with Boards of Supervisors and Chancery Clerks in Alcorn County and other counties in budgeting, financial planning, and estimating ad valorem tax and special fund revenue.

• The County Auditor.

I completed 24 regular annual audits without a major exception. I know what auditors need and how to get the reports and information to keep track of YOUR MONEY. In light of current events, it is critical that we put someone in this position with the experience to get our financial house in order!

• The Registrar of Deeds.

In 2005, I assisted former Clerk Larry McCollum in evaluating and choosing the imaging system that is still in use in the office today. I personally set up the computers and scanners for the system and was very involved in the implementation and initial training. During my first term, I will complete the scanning of all the remaining records and in consultation with local attorneys I will make the records available on the internet.

• The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

I will work with the Board to make sure that the business of Alcorn County is handled in an honest and open manner. We must rebuild the confidence of the people in the Government of Alcorn County and I am the person that can do it! I will implement programs like community outreach, where elected officials and representatives of all county departments go out into the county at regular intervals to make government more accessible to the people. I will work with the Board and The Alliance to recruit new industry and bring desperately needed jobs to our community.

• The Clerk of the Chancery Court.

I will make sure that the functions of Chancery Court are handled in an efficient, caring, and compassionate manner. I will always be available to the public and will listen to your problems and I will do everything in my power to help the people of Alcorn County.

“These are the major functions of the office, but there are so many more things that the Chancery Clerk does that my experience makes me the most qualified person for the job, things like Tax Sale Redemption and Homestead Exemption about which I have an extensive knowledge. I hope that you will consider all these facts and go to the polls on August 4th and elect me as your next Chancery Clerk.”

Oldest daughter wants to avoid celebrating dad’s newest child D E A R ABBY: My father is expecting his seventh child with his current “fiancee.”

I am the Abigail of six Van Buren oldest girls; this child is exDear Abby pected to be a son.

His fiancee is 11 years my junior — 33 years younger than my father.

I recently started a family and have two children under the age of 2.

For various reasons, I am fed up with playing nice regarding my father’s relationships and irresponsible behavior.

They are having a baby shower for the expectant parents, and I don’t want to attend.

My husband thinks I am wrong because I can’t muster up the spirit that a baby shower is supposed to evoke.

I think I’m being smart for not bringing my funky attitude.

Should I attend? — OLDEST CHILD DEAR OLDEST: I don’t know how your siblings feel about this impending birth, but try to remember that showers are intended to celebrate the new life that’s coming into the world.

This isn’t about whether you approve of your father’s behavior or his choice of women.

If he is as irresponsible as you say, that poor little boy will need all the help and emotional support he can get in the future.

If you opt not to attend, it may drive a wedge between you and your father, so I’m voting with your husband.

Go with your siblings, be pleasant and leave your funky attitude at home, because if you don’t, the person you will be isolating is yourself.

DEAR ABBY: What is it with people? My mother-in-law, “Ellen,” passed away last Thursday.

Even before her viewing a neighbor informed us — through Ellen’s attorney — that Ellen had given her a wicker patio set that the neighbor hadn’t taken, but had told Ellen to use as long as she wanted. Then at the church, before the funeral service, another friend told us Ellen had intended to donate some used items to a charity, implying that we are obligated to do the same.

Don’t people have manners any longer? — OFFENDED IN OHIO DEAR OFFENDED: Your letter illustrates why it is so important for everyone to put their wishes in writing before departing.

While I agree with you that the timing was insensitive, the people involved may have wanted to be sure you were aware of Ellen’s intentions before you

disposed of the items.

Before distributing any of your mother-in-law’s effects, this is something you should first discuss with her lawyer.

DEAR ABBY: As a young adult in my early 20s, I’ve been experiencing some pretty big changes in my life, including (after some major research and internal debate) the decision to convert to a different religion.

However, something is preventing me from following through: I have an anxiety disorder that makes being in new situations and places I’m unfamiliar with extremely daunting. I’m not having second thoughts about my choice by any means. I am just at a loss about where I should start and what I need to do. Any advice is welcomed.

— ANXIOUS CONVERT IN OKLAHOMA DEAR ANXIOUS: Visit the church, temple or mosque you wish to join and share your concerns with the priest, minister, rabbi or imam. If you do, that person can see you are introduced around and ease your way into the religious community.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Exits and entrances are the theme. It’s a skill to enter a room and make an impression, and to exit one with flair. The first step is realizing that your presence is a force.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The world is your stage. You don’t play to the audience, but you have a keen awareness that you’re being watched. Tonight, you’ll be concerned with matters of style.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your idea has wings and soon will fly by itself. Before that happens, take advantage of this moment -- the special time in which you are charged to protect and refine your brainchild.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Wherever you want to go, your social graces will get you there.

Your smile is the pavement on your road. The special look you give people, that’s the grease on your wheel.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Grav-

itate toward the warmth and humor. The people you like are popular for a reason. You’ll be invited to join a group of people who think like you. You belong where there is an abundance of good cheer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Celebrate your wins. When your personal life hums a happy melody, the other elements -- like fulfilling work and enough money to cover the bills -- will click into place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You don’t have to be wealthy to make the world a better place.

Your contribution is better than money. Give your smile freely, and that will do more than dollars ever could.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You can learn through your own experience, or you can learn through the experience of others by reading or listening.

The second way is more time efficient these days.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). A special relationship will influence your thinking and impact your domestic scene.

Here’s something to keep in mind: You learn more from criticism than you do from praise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Subtle information will strongly influence you. It will repeat in your head like a musical refrain, keeping you up at night. Decipher the message.

Break the code. Get some sleep.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “No” isn’t always negative.

Often it keeps you from harm.

Sometimes it’s the best answer you could hear. When you get a “no” today, it will be cosmic grace.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You know the right people.

Name-dropping is, therefore, hard to avoid. You can’t be blamed. You must first impress people in order to influence them and get them to follow you.

Urban Mississippians have shorter commutes than nationwide

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Commuters grinding away on Lakeland Drive in Flowood or U.S. 49 in Gulfport or Goodman Road in Southaven may not believe it, but they’re spending less time than most people nationwide getting to work.

Census data from 2013 shows average time spent traveling to work in all of those regions is less than nationwide.

Although the average commuter nationwide spends 25.8 minutes on their work journey, those numbers are 23.4 minutes for the Gulfport-BiloxiPascagoula metro area, 24 minutes for the Jackson area, and 24.1 minutes for the Memphis, Tennessee, area, which includes parts of Mississippi.

Those are the only parts of the Magnolia State in-

cluded among the 195 metropolitan areas that are analyzed.

Driving solo If you want to find a place where people are likely to commute by driving their own car alone, the Jackson area is a pretty good bet. Of the region’s 246,000 commuters, about 86 percent drive to work alone.

That’s the 14th highest share among the regions that were examined, and is well above the 81 percent of commuters in the mid-range urban region who drive alone. The Memphis area, at 84 percent, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast region, at 83 percent, also have more solo drivers than the midrange area.

Some people have companions along for the ride. About 9 percent of

commuters carpool in the Jackson area, while about 10 percent carpool in Memphis and on the Mississippi coast. Those shares are roughly in line with metro areas nationwide.

Not on the bus The flip side of having many solo drivers is that few people in Mississippi’s urban regions use public transit. Only a tiny 0.4 percent ride the bus to work in Jackson, the 16th smallest share among the 195 metro areas. About 1.1 percent of commuters ride the bus on the coast, as well as in the Memphis area, close to the middle among urban areas.

The number of Mississippians riding the bus is held down by the limited number of fixed bus routes available. In the Jackson area, there’s no

fixed-route bus service outside the city. There are also no fixed-route buses in the Mississippi portion of the Memphis area, or in most of Jackson County on the Coast.

Transit commutes are typically longer than solo car commutes, but that’s not true on the coast, where the average bus ride to work takes about 23 minutes. That’s the 10th shortest transit commute nationwide and comparable to driving.

But transit commutes in Jackson, at 40 minutes, are roughly comparable to what’s typical among all metro areas. And at 53 minutes in Memphis, the bus ride is longer than is typical among urban areas.

Will commutes stay short?

U.S. officials warn that

congestion will worsen over the next three decades as the nation’s population rises. Mississippi has expanded some highways to improve traffic flow and is currently building the I-269 bypass through DeSoto and Marshall counties, a project that’s already pushing development farther south and east from Memphis. But that $668 million project is one of the largest currently going on in the state. In the Jackson area, officials are widening Interstate 55 from Interstate 20 south to Byram at a cost of nearly $100 million, but construction has been delayed because of design problems. The Legislature also set aside $10 million to widen part of Lakeland Drive in Rankin County.

Some other projects are stalled for lack of money, like the U.S. 82 bypass

around Greenville. One phase has been partially built, but state officials need more than $100 million to complete it to Leland. Officials have often pointed to U.S. 49 between Jackson and the coast as needing major improvement, but no plan or price tag has been adopted.

The pace of improvements has been hurt by declining federal funding, as well as a shortfall in state funding. Transportation Department leaders say the state needs at least $400 million more per year to properly maintain the roads and bridges it has, not counting money for expansion. An earlier push to increase funding fizzled, although the Mississippi Economic Council is studying proposals that are likely to be presented after this year’s state elections.

U.S. women’s soccer confident

BY ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press

OTTAWA, Ontario — Megan Rapinoe is so done with her exile to the spectators’ seats at the Women’s World Cup. Bring on Germany, said the U.S. midfielder, who had to sit out the 1-0 victory over China in the quarterfinals of soccer’s biggest tournament. The confidence-boosting win sent the second-ranked Americans on to a semifinal match against the top-ranked Germans on Tuesday in Montreal.

“Huge match,” Rapinoe said. “No. 1 against No. 2 in the world. They’ve had a great tournament so far, but hopefully they’re a little tired.”

Rapinoe was referring to Germany’s quarterfinal, an extra time penalty-kick vic-

tory over France on Friday.

Rapinoe watched the U.S. quarterfinal from the stands at Ottawa’s Lansdowne Stadium with teammate Lauren Holiday. They were suspended for the match because of yellow card accumulation — both had received their second yellows in the knockout-round opener against Colombia.

Both will be back.

The Germans trailed thirdranked France 1-0 until Celia Sasic’s equalizing penalty kick in the 84th minute, then goalkeeper Nadine Angerer stopped Claire Lavogez in the final attempt of a shootout as Germany prevailed 5-4 on penalty kicks.

“It was a very intense game, I was extremely elated along with the team,” Angerer said

afterward. “Honestly, I felt completely empty because the match was finally over and it ended well for us. ” The 21-year-old Lavogez, France’s third-youngest player, ran up to the spot and kicked the ball to Angerer’s left. The 2013 FIFA Women’s Player of the Year — the first goalkeeper male or female to win the honor — dove and blocked the ball with her left knee.

German coach Silvia Neid sighed heavily after the match: “Such a game as this, which was so tough, when you win it that makes you very confident. But we had to play for 120 minutes, we have some injured players we have to rest.”

Like the Americans, Germa-

ny has two World Cup titles, in 2003 and ‘07. The United States is seeking its first championship since 1999.

The two teams have met three times in the World Cup, with the United States winning twice. But Germany claimed the last meeting, a 3-0 victory in 2003. Overall the Americans are 18-4-7 against the Germans.

The United States has made it to the semifinals in every World Cup since the first in 1991.

The Americans made it this year because of Carli Lloyd, who scored the lone goal against China. The 32-yearold midfielder was able to roam more freely, because of tweaks to the lineup, for another big moment.

Stewart struggling to end worst slump

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

Bone bruise lands Atlanta’s Perez on 15-day disabled list Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The Atlanta Braves have placed rookie starting pitcher Williams Perez on the 15-day disabled list with a bone bruise in his left foot.

Perez, unbeaten in eight starts, left Friday night’s loss to Pittsburgh in the fifth inning shortly after getting hit in the foot with a line drive off the bat of Pirates third baseman Josh Harrison.

Perez attempted to stay in the game but left two batters later. X-rays were negative but Perez said the foot felt worse on Saturday morning and it was unlikely he would have been able to make his next start.

The Braves called up RHP Jake Brigham from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Perez’s spot on the roster. The 27-year-old Brigham is a career minor leaguer. Brigham took a perfect game into the ninth inning for Double-A Mississippi earlier this month.

STANTON HURT — A person familiar with the situation says Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has a broken left hand and is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks.

The person confirmed the injury to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the team hadn’t announced X-ray results.

Stanton got hurt swinging the bat Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, saying the injury became worse as the game progressed.

Stanton led the majors with 27 homers and 67 RBIs when sidelined. The injury is a blow to a team that had lost five consecutive games and was a season-worst 15 games below .500.

The Marlins had been woeful lately even with Stanton, batting just .201.

SONOMA, Calif. — Tony Stewart spent a rare week off traveling across Ohio as the hands-on owner of a sprint car series.

He spent time with the officials in charge of the All Star Circuit of Champions, the promoters and made sure the product was top-notch. Stewart returned to his day job refreshed and ready to get back to work with his NASCAR team.

It took just one practice session at Sonoma Raceway for Stewart’s moment of Zen to end with a resounding thud.

The balance was off in the No. 14 Chevrolet — again — and his laps lagged far behind the leaders.

The three-time NASCAR champion is stuck in the worst season of his career,

Allmendinger wins Sonoma pole SONOMA, Calif. — AJ Allmendinger has won the pole for today’s road course race at Sonoma Raceway.

Allmendinger earned the top starting spot during Saturday’s knockout qualifying with a lap 96.310 mph around the 10-turn, 1.99mile course. It’s the first pole for JTG Daugherty Racing, which earned its first berth

in NASCAR’s championship race last year when Allmendinger won on the Watkins Glen road course.

“If I knew what to do, I would do it,” he told The Associated Press. “I don’t even know what to do to fix the

problem. We don’t know what the problem is.”

Stewart knows the issue isn’t SHR’s cars. Reigning Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick is the current points leader and he and Kurt Busch have each won two races.

Danica Patrick has shown speed and is higher in the standings than Stewart, her boss and co-owner of the race team.

Stewart is 26th in the points, with just one top10 finish through 15 races.

He believes his issues begin with NASCAR’s current rules package, but also takes responsibility for his inability to adapt to the lower horsepower and higher downforce combination.

“I would say it’s me and the package — for some reason it just doesn’t suit what I am doing,” he said. “All the cars I grew up driving had a much higher power-to-weight ratio than what we have right now.

I’ve never really been good with low-horsepower cars.

Serena Williams halfway to true Grand Slam

BY CHRIS LEHOURITES Associated Press

LONDON — While tennis fans everywhere anxiously wait to see if Serena Williams can take the third step toward a true Grand Slam, the 20time major winner said she will only start to feel the pressure in about two weeks.

That is, after Wimbledon ends.

The 33-year-old Williams is overwhelmingly considered to be the best player in the women’s game, and she heads into the grass-court Grand Slam tournament following victories at the Australian Open and the French Open.

The last person to win all four

majors in the same season was Steffi Graf in 1988.

“Personally, it doesn’t make it feel any different, which I think is a good thing because I don’t feel any pressure to win all four,” Williams said Saturday. “I’ve been saying that, but I really don’t feel that pressure. Maybe if I would happen to win here, then maybe I might start feeling it after that.”

Williams has already won five titles at the All England Club, with the last coming in 2012. Last year, she lost in the third round, and she went out in the fourth round the year before that.

Her first match this year

will be against Margarita Gasparyan, a 20-year-old Russian ranked 113th in the world.

“I think the fact that I lost so early the past couple years definitely makes me motivated,” said the top-ranked and top-seeded Williams, who is 32-1 this season. “But I think that also gives me a little less pressure because I haven’t done well here in the past two years. It makes me feel like, ‘OK, I’ll be fine. I have nothing to lose here.’”

Only three women and two men have won all four majors titles in the same year. Besides Graf, Maureen Connolly and Margaret Court have done it.

On the men’s side, Rod Laver

(twice) and Don Budge did it.

Williams, however, did win four majors in a row in 200203 for a “Serena Slam,” and another title at Wimbledon would be her fourth straight Grand Slam title.

“She’s certainly the player to beat,” said Maria Sharapova, the 2004 champion seeded fourth this year. “With all the confidence in the world having won the last three majors, not just the two in this year.

“I think it always comes down to consistency. It’s such a fine line. It’s one thing to do it at one event or two events, Please see SERENA | 13A

making a living.”

The ongoing cycle of trying to figure out how to get comfortable in the car, to make a plan with crew chief Chad Johnston that will give him the feel he needs, has been maddening for Stewart.

Asked by AP about his current level of confidence, Stewart admitted he’s suffering.

“What’s that? I should google that and see if I can find the meaning of that word,” he said.

“I don’t have any confidence.”

Stewart has not, however, lost confidence in Johnston, the crew chief who stepped into the job at the start of the 2014 season. He inherited a driver who had been sidelined almost six months with a broken leg suffered in a 2013 sprint car crash.

Stewart trudged through last season, a flash here and there, but his leg bugged him and his feel for the cars was suffering. It wasn’t shaping up to be a good sea-

son even before the August sprint car accident in which Stewart struck and killed another driver.

Stewart owns his issues and his problems, and defends the job Johnston has done.

“Every week we come here, we are optimistic we are going to have a good week. There’s not a week that I show up and don’t think I can win,” he said.

Stewart has at least a small voice in moving NASCAR closer to a rules package that suits his style.

He was voted by his peers onto the newly formed driver council that has met with NASCAR at least once to discuss ways to improve the on-track product. Stewart is clearly in the corner of drivers pushing for less downforce, and he’s adamant that NASCAR needs to quickly figure out how to address the aerodynamic issue that is making passing so difficult.

“Make the aero not as important and make the mechanical grip more important,” he said.

but in order to have that level to be able to do it consistently I think is pretty incredible.”

Roger Federer, who completed a career Grand Slam in 2009 but never managed to win all four in the same season, said Williams will always be the favorite, but she needs to keep her focus.

“The biggest mistake would be to think (about) being in the finals of the

U.S. Open already,” said Federer, a 17-time major champion. “When she plays on her terms, especially now, you would think Wimbledon and the U.S. Open would be the easier ones to win, especially with her serve.”

Federer is also looking for history at the All England Club. The 33-yearold Swiss great has won seven Wimbledon titles and needs one more to move ahead of Pete Sampras and 1880s player

Willie Renshaw.

Federer last won Wimbledon in 2012, his last major title. But an extra week between the French Open and Wimbledon this year has given him a mental boost.

“It’s probably been the best preparation I’ve ever had for Wimbledon, for obvious reasons, because we have a week more on the grass,” Federer said.

“Winning Halle has given me the extra confidence I guess it’s going to take me

to win this title here.”

Williams hasn’t played since winning her third French Open title this month, but she has been practicing on grass in preparation for Wimbledon.

The extra week is definitely a help, Williams said, but that’s not all that rare for her.

“Actually, I had extra weeks plenty of times after the French Open, so I’ve had more time than normal,” said Williams.

Pizza Grocery expands with a new coffee bar

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Guests at Pizza Grocery will notice a delicious new aroma wafting through the restaurant as they enter though the impressive French doors.

Recently renovated to fill the space of the former JB Outdoors, the upstairs is now home to a quaint new coffee bar.

“I was inspired by a good friend of mine, John Cartwright, who established Rivertown Coffee Co. on Seminary Street in Florence,” said owner Joshua Bryant. “His shop opened two years before Pizza Grocery and I was always intrigued by the coffee house vibe and laid-back atmosphere.”

“It was always at the back of my mind that I would like to open a coffee bar in Corinth, but we didn’t know where to put it,” he continued. “As we were thinking of an exit strategy for JB Outdoors, it just seemed like the perfect fit.”

Complete with a reading room, coffee-themed store, bakery and restrooms, the space has undergone a complete transformation.

“It was a three-year process from the time we closed to when we opened at the beginning of May,” said the business owner.

“We wanted to create a warm, inviting place where people could meet for business, relax with friends and family or simply enjoy a good cup of coffee.”

Options on the java menu include dripped and iced coffee, macchiatos, cappucinos, Americanos, lattes, mochas and salted caramel lattes as well as vanilla, white chocolate, mocha, caramel, salted caramel and seasonal frappes.

Extra shots and a variety of flavorings may be added to create a custom cup.

Hot tea, Chai tea and smoothies are also available. Patrons can choose between “Berry Nice,” “The Elvis” and “Mean Green.”

In addition to beverages, the coffee bar offers candy, wine, locally brewed beers from Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana as well as an assortment of baked goods.

“Right now, we are mainly selling pastries and cookies, but by the end of summer, we will hopefully have a snack menu,” said Bryant. “All of our syrups are crafted in house by our Chef Joey Thompson. He and my mom (Margie Bryant) also bake the majority of our sweets.”

When it came to creating the perfect cup of Joe, the Bryant’s wanted noth-

“We like that the new space allows us to explore more avenues and would love to see some commissioned art.”

Joshua Bryant Owner, Pizza Grocery Coffee Bar ing but the best.

“Cole Sanders, a family friend of ours, introduced us to Bongo Java, a coffee supplier out of Nashville, Tenn.,” said Joshua. “It has been a great partnership so far. We order our coffee, they roast it that same day and I get it the next day. So, it is only a two-day process, which is amazing.”

A native of Corinth, Joshua first encountered the vendor at a coffee trade show in March of 2014.

Wishing to learn all he could to prepare for his family’s new venture, Bryant enrolled in the American Barista and Coffee School in September where he completed five days of educational coffee training and a one day roasting class at the Portland, Oregon-based institution.

“After finishing coffee school and earning my certification, Chef Joey and I took a scouting trip to New York,” he said.

“We drank coffee and ate food all week long. It was a good time.”

In addition to culinary excursions, the coffee bar staff received special training from the roaster.

With exposed wooden beams, ample seating and distressed furniture, Pizza Grocery’s newest offering has quickly transitioned from an unused space to a favorite local hangout.

Housed in special cabinetry, the right hand corner of the shop is dedicated to all things coffee.

Items available for purchase include, mugs crafted by Corinth artist Batina Elliot, filters, carafes, whole-bean coffee and more.

Customers without grinders at home can have their beans ground for them.

“We like that the new space allows us to explore more avenues and would love to see some commissioned art,” said Bryant, who looks forward to holding book signings, poetry readings and live musical performances in the near future.

As he ruminated on all those who took the dream and made it a reality, the owner wished to thank his father Jimbo Bryant

Their hours are Monday–Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 7 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.)

‘Pirate Hunters’ turns out to be good reading treasure

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Pirate Hunters: Treasure, Obsession, and the Search for a Legendary Pirate Ship” by Robert Kurson c.2015, Random House $28.00 / $34.00 Canada 304 pages The hole you dug as a kid would never reach China.

That didn’t matter to you, though; China wasn’t your goal – treasure was.

Alas, your map was incorrect and you never found riches, but that never stopped you from looking.

So now read the new book “Pirate Hunters” by Robert Kurson, and dip your digits near doubloons instead.

As experienced divers and successful treasure hunters, John Chatterton and John Mattera never let loose of a good story.

Stories sometimes yield truth, and they weren’t about to dismiss the legend of Joseph Bannister.

Hailed as a leader, Bannister was known and respected as a trustworthy seaman who knew how to safely transport cargo, England to Jamaica. He’d worked his way up, cabin to captain, and by 1680, he was well-paid, his future secure.

But in June of 1684, something happened that can only be guessed.

On-course from London to the Caribbean with a full load, Bannister’s ship disappeared. British ves-

sels tried unsuccessfully to find him until they realized, to their shock, that Bannister had stolen his ship, its cargo, and most of its crew – and he’d gladly do the same to others. Yes, Bannister had become a real-life pirate, and he knew enough about shipping corridors to confound merchants and authorities alike.

Outraged and embarrassed, the Brits vowed to capture him, but the pirate continued to taunt.

They caught him once and jailed him, but he escaped aboard his ship, snuck past fortified British cannons and continued his marauding ways, inflaming the British even more.

Bannister managed to elude authorities until late

in 1687…

Chatterton and Mattera read everything they could about Bannister and were aware of reports claiming that his ship was sunk in 24 feet of water, just off the coast of Santo Domingo. Finding it was an irresistible goal but searching was expensive, though the man who owned the diving rights in the area where The Golden Fleece supposedly sunk had offered them 20 percent of the ship, found and recovered.

First, though, they had to find the essence of a pirate, and quickly. Everyone, including the Dominican government, wanted a piece of this action.

As I was sitting in a modern airport, reading

about a 17th-century buccaneer, it occurred to me that I had an interesting juxtaposition going. It also occurred to me that I’d chosen a stellar book to take on my trip.

With high-seas history, a sense of intrigue, and the tales of two divers who possessed dogged determination, “Pirate Hunters” will speak to the part of you that craves a seizelife adventure and a little bit of danger. Bannister’s swashbuckling story is better than anything you’ll find in the movies because it’s true, and author Robert Kurson seduces his readers with an edge-of-your-seat telling. Just be prepared for an ending you’ll never predict. Arrrgh!

Who hasn’t dreamed of

Kurson finding buried loot or undersea riches? You know you have, which is why you’ll love this phenomenal book. For you, and the child inside who never stopped looking, “Pirate Hunters” is treasure enough.
