Test shows students ready for first grade For Daily Corinthian

Local kindergarteners are ready to enter the first grade, according to the latest round of test results from the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment and Mississippi STAR Early Literacy exam. Average test scores from kindergarteners in both the Alcorn and Corinth school districts were above state average. The test -- given in both the fall and spring of the 2015-16 school year -- provided parents, teachers and early childhood providers with a common understanding of what children know and are able to do upon entering school. Administered in May, the Alcorn School District’s average spring score was 742 – Transi-

tional Reader, which means a student has mastered alphabet skills and letter-sound relationships and the student can identify many beginning and ending consonant sounds and long and short vowel sounds, and is probably able to blend sounds and word parts to read simple words. The Mississippi Department of Education says those students who score Transitional Reader are prepared for the first grade. Only one other level is above Transitional Reader, Probable Reader which begins at 775 average score and above. “These scores are evidence the students in Alcorn Schools Please see TEST | 6A

Summer Fun Camps Kossuth and Alcorn Central elementary school students recently had fun at the Alcorn School District’s Summer Fun Camps. Students participated in science experiments, art and physical education activities. Instructor Steve Shaw even helped ACES students write, direct and video a TV commercial. Students also enjoyed learning how to make (and eat) ice cream. Teachers were excited to teach fun things like a chemistry experiment of making ice cream. Elementary Curriculum Director Tammy Johnson said, “the participation level was amazing and we hope to continue the Summer Fun Camps next year.”

Easom Foundation sets Gatsby fundraiser gala BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Borrowing a page from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” the Easom Outreach Foundation’s latest event promises to be the “bee’s knees.” A swanky shindig loaded with dancing, music and delectable eats, guests at the Easom Community Center will be transported to the Roaring Twenties as they enjoy a night of flapper era fun during the first ever “Great Gatsby” Fundraising Dance. Held from 9 p.m. on Saturda to 1 a.m. on Sunday, the event will also feature a demonstration of the Charleston in which guests are encouraged to par-

While the Jacinto Festival often hangs its hat on notoriety for political speaking, this oﬀyear for local politics will find more emphasis on the pleasures of a small-town festival. The Jacinto Courthouse will open its doors to the public on Monday as the traditions of the annual July 4 event return to the grounds with food, arts and crafts, inflatables for the kids, and a little taste of politics. “It’s more laid back than the big political years where there is this intensity of having to fit in so many politicians,” said Beth Whitehurst, executive director of the Jacinto Foundation. “It’s more like a big party in the ‘oﬀ’

political years.” Admission is free. For those who want to get an early start in the heart of “Old Tishomingo,” the Jacinto VFD at 7 a.m. will serve a breakfast she describes as “the way God intended it to be.” The festival will get rolling about 9 a.m. with the opening, followed by bluegrass and gospel music. The political speaking will take the stage a little earlier than normal, around 10:30 a.m. As of Tuesday morning, those who have confirmed their intent to speak are U.S. Rep. Trent Kelly, state Rep. Nick Bain, state Sen. Rita Potts Parks, Chancery Clerk Greg Younger Please see FESTIVAL | 6A

nual Christmas Program for local nursing homes. The Foundation is currently working to purchase a removable gym floor to place on top of the existing floor which would allow the facility to be used for competitive sports as well as expand their programming for children. Introduced by one of the Foundation’s volunteers, Ann Walker, in a brainstorming session for a party theme, the idea of a Gatsby-inspired bash was very popular and supported by all. “We are encouraging revelers to dress in era attire (Roaring 20s),” said Easom Foundation Chairman Sam Crayton. “While the best dressed male and female in Gatsby attire will earn a cash prize, we do not want to discourage anyone from attending because of the theme. Business casual attire would also be appropriate.” As he looks forward to what will hopefully become an annual event which can be elevated each year, the chairman is reminiscing on some of his other favorite Gatsby events.

“In the late 80s, early 90s when I lived in Cleveland, Ohio, I volunteered for the United Negro College Fund,” he revealed. “One of the major fundraisers for the organizations was the annual Great Gatsby party which was held at the home of a volunteer’s mansion. The cost of a ticket to attend the event was $50, and were in high demand. Everyone would dress the occasion, and the local antique car museum would park a couple of its vintage vehicles out front. It was a lot of fun!” In addition to making much needed repairs on the gym floor, the Foundation is also looking to increase its outreach through its Hot Meals Program which is supported by United Way Services. “If any reader knows of a senior who is disabled and is not getting a daily hot meal, please refer them to Chef Ben Betts, or pick up an application in the cafeteria between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to join the Hot Meals Program,” said Crayton. (For more information contact Ernestine Hollins at 662-643-8024 or Ann Walker at 662-284-7361.)

with 6 grams of methamphetamine. A separate arrest occurred following an incident at the same hotel on June 18 when Green said the narcotics unit observed drug activity and attempted to make a traﬃc stop on the suspect, leading to a brief pursuit. The vehicle stopped in the Mathis Subdivision area,

where the driver, Staton, bailed and was caught after a short pursuit on foot. A search of the vehicle uncovered 4 grams of methamphetamine, Green said. Staton was also charged with several traﬃc violations and misdemeanors. Bond was set at $10,000 for all four. Staton is also being held for the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, June 29, the 181st day of 2016. There are 185 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 29, 1956, actress Marilyn Monroe married playwright Arthur Miller in a civil ceremony in White Plains, New York. (The couple also wed in a Jewish ceremony on July 1; the marriage lasted 41/2 years).

On this date: In 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. In 1880, France annexed Tahiti, which became a French colony on December 30, 1880. In 1913, the Second Balkan War broke out as Bulgaria attacked Serbia and Greece, its former allies from the First Balkan War. In 1954, the Atomic Energy Commission voted against reinstating Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer’s access to classified information. In 1966, the United States launched airstrikes on fuel storage facilities near the North Vietnamese cities of Hanoi and Haiphong. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (The ruling prompted states to effectively impose a moratorium on executions until their capital punishment laws could be revised.) In 1992, the remains of Polish statesman Ignacy Jan Paderewski, interred for five decades in the United States, were returned to his homeland in keeping with his wish to be buried only in a free Poland. In 1995, the space shuttle Atlantis and the Russian Mir space station linked in orbit, beginning a historic fiveday voyage as a single ship.

Across the Region Bruton Branch Hardin County man, 74, drowns in lake BRUTON BRANCH, Tenn. — The second drowning of the year on Pickwick Lake happened this past weekend and claimed the life of a 74-year-old man from Bruton Branch. Charles Coln was moving his waverunner from the boat ramp to the boathouse when he fell into the water, according to Hardin County Fire Chief Melvin Martin. The fatal accident happened sometime after 2:30 p.m. Friday and the authorities were notified that he was missing around 7 p.m. Martin said divers from Hardin County and TWRA discovered the body around four hours later, close to midnight. He said the water was around 10-12 feet deep in that area. Coln’s body was sent to Memphis for an autopsy to determine the cause of death, but Martin said no foul play was believed to have caused the drowning.

Booneville Undercover probe leads to drug arrest BOONEVILLE — On Thursday, June 23, Prentiss County Narcotics investigators and deputies arrested Tracie R. Treece, 36, of Booneville following an undercover narcotics investigation. Treece was arrested and charged with two counts of the sale of methamphetamine and two counts of child abuse by allowing children to be present during a drug sale. Treece remains in custody. Her bond on the felony charges is $15,000. She also faces city charges with an additional bond.

Fulton Funding cuts force changes at library FULTON — Itawamba’s library will acquire fewer books, movies and other materials this year because of reduced funding from the state, reported The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. The Itawamba County Pratt Memorial Library will lose more than $7,700 this year because of statewide cuts to library funding. The cuts trickle down from the Mississippi Legislature’s recent passing of House Bill 1645, which reduces the state’s financial support of the Mississippi Library Commission by nearly $11.2 million for Fiscal Year 2017. The reductions represent a 7.8 percent drop from the MLC’s $12.05 million budget from Fiscal Year 2016. Those cuts go into effect July 1. The reductions will, of course, trickle down to the local level. Itawamba’s library will see a reduction of about 4 percent to its $210,000 budget because of the cuts. Library manager Jeffrey Martin said the library’s materials budget – used to purchase books of the audio,

electronic and tradition paper variety, as well as DVDs and other materials offered there – will absorb the brunt of the blow. Although any cut is painful, Martin said the the local library came off relatively easy, especially compared to some of its smaller peers in other counties. “We are luckier than many libraries who may be forced to cut staff or hours,” he said. “Still, the cuts will hurt the library.” Itawamba’s library receives a majority of its funding through allotments from the county and City of Fulton. “We are very thankful to the Itawamba County Board of Supervisors and the City of Fulton for their support of the library, as that support has kept us from having to make some even tougher decisions,” Martin said.

4A • Wednesday, June 29, 2016

Corinth, Miss.

The fraud goes on Last week the Supreme Court of the United States voted that President Obama exceeded his authority when he granted exemptions from the immigration laws passed by Congress. Thomas But the Supreme Court also Sowell exceeded its own authority by granting the University of Columnist Texas an exemption from the Constitution’s requirement of “equal protection of the laws,” by voting that racial preferences for student admissions were legal. Supreme Court decisions in affirmative action cases are the longest running fraud since the 1896 decision upholding racial segregation laws in the Jim Crow South, on grounds that “separate but equal” facilities were consistent with the Constitution. Everybody knew that those facilities were separate but by no means equal. Nevertheless, this charade lasted until 1954. The Supreme Court’s affirmative action cases have now lasted since 1974 when, in the case of “DeFunis v. Odegaard,” the Court voted 5 to 4 that this particular case was moot, which spared the justices from having to vote on its merits. While the 1896 “separate but equal” decision lasted 58 years, the Supreme Court’s affirmative action cases have now had 42 years of evasion, sophistry and fraud, with no end in sight. One sign of the erosion of principles over the years is that even one of the Court’s most liberal judicial activists, Justice William O. Douglas, could not stomach affirmative action in 1974, and voted to condemn it, rather than declare the issue moot. But now, in 2016, the supposedly conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy voted to uphold the University of Texas’ racial preferences. Perhaps the atmosphere inside the Washington Beltway wears down opposition to affirmative action, much as water can eventually wear down rock and create the Grand Canyon. We have heard much this year about the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia -- and rightly so. But there are two vacancies on the Supreme Court. The other vacancy is Anthony Kennedy. The human tragedy, amid all the legal evasions and frauds is that, while many laws and policies sacrifice some people for the sake of others, affirmative action manages to harm blacks, whites, Asians and others, even if in different ways. Students who are kept out of a college because other students are admitted instead, under racial quotas, obviously lose opportunities they would otherwise have had. But minority students admitted to institutions whose academic standards they do not meet are all too often needlessly turned into failures, even when they have the prerequisites for success in some other institution whose normal standards they do meet. When black students who scored at the 90th percentile in math were admitted to M.I.T., where the other students scored at the 99th percentile, a significant number of black students failed to graduate there, even though they could have graduated with honors at most other academic institutions. We do not have so many students with that kind of ability that we can afford to sacrifice them on the altar to political correctness. But hard facts carry no weight among politicians as magic words like “diversity” -- a word repeated endlessly, without one speck of evidence to back up its sweeping claims of benefits. It too is part of the Supreme Court fraud, going back to a 1978 decision that seemingly banned racial quotas -- unless the word “diversity” was used instead of “quotas.” Seeming to ban racial preferences, while letting them continue under another name, was clever politically. But the last thing we need in Washington are nine more politicians, wearing judicial robes.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, I pray that as I search for the truth I will not be so eager to seek thy mysteries as I am to extend thy ministries. Grant that by thy love I will be guided in comprehending and exalting thy kingdom. May my service bring me wisdom as I obey thy laws. Amen.

Kris’ birthday coming down FISHTRAP HOLLOW — As soon as the heat dropped below 90 degrees one recent late afternoon – about 7 o’clock, really – I moved the CD player to the front porch, adjusted the fan just so and put my feet up on a coﬀee table. I played “Sunday Morning Coming Down” and “The Pilgrim” and “The Captive.” My Georgia friend Sharon Thomason, author of an intimate book about country music, had reminded me that a shared musical hero, Kris Kristoﬀerson, turned 80 in June, same month as the iconic author Larry McMurtry. It was hard to believe. Kris is the Paul Newman of songwriters, getting better as he ages and never quitting doing what he does. He has a new album out and continues to perform. I think country musicians may have an advantage over rock musicians in that they don’t look ridiculous singing their songs after they reach age 60. Their songs are more sedate and involve

Rheta Johnson Columnist

less swivel. I have nothing against the Rolling Stones, for instance, but I no longer want to watch the sausage being made. It’s diﬀer-

ent with Kris. For one thing, Kris was born old and wise. The first time I heard him sing was “Why Me, Lord?” over an eight-track player. His voice was so slow and quivery I thought the tape was dragging. That introduction began a love aﬀair that has lasted over 40 years. And Kris did that unfair thing that certain males do. He managed to get better and better looking as the years passed by. His baby face finally matured enough to match his wise voice. When I hear what passes for country lyrics these days, I wonder if any of the new stars have ever listened

to a Kris song. Or a Hank song. Not that just anybody could write like the masters, but one could aspire. One could try to learn. Kris never used gimmicky language that seems to be so in vogue these days. He told stories. Love stories full of pathos and hurt. He reached into his closet and found his cleanest dirty shirt. We could see him doing it. We could taste that beer he had for breakfast. Love, after all, is not bouncy and bright. It doesn’t always come in pretty packages tied up with ribbons. It’s tepid beer, not champagne. And it hurts. How could a teenager plucked from the Mickey Mouse Club and packaged as a superstar know that? No dues, no blues. I heard Kris live in concert twice. Once when he was young and I was younger. It was in the huge coliseum venue at Auburn University, and Kris and his wife Rita Coolidge were together. She was more stylish at the time and got top

billing. “Rita, Rita, Rita!” the crowd demanded when Kris took the stage as the warmup act. I remember feeling bad for Kris, who had written many of the songs Rita Coolidge sang. But it didn’t seem to bother Kris, who took a swig of whiskey in front of God and everybody, and kept singing. I heard him at the Ryman six years ago, just Kris and his harmonica and guitar, singing parts or all of every song he ever knew. It was a brilliant performance, much appreciated by the audience of boomers who knew all the words. I figured it was some sort of farewell tour, but it wasn’t. He’s kept right on turning, for the better or the worse, still searching for a shrine he’s never found. Happy birthday, Kris.

After Brexit, a Trump path to victory Some of us have long predicted the breakup of the European Union. The Cousins appear to have just delivered the coup de grace. While Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU, England voted for independence. These people, with their unique history, language and culture, want to write their own laws and rule themselves. The English wish to remain who they are, and they do not want their country to become, in Theodore Roosevelt’s phrase, “a polyglot boarding house” for the world. From patriots of all nations, congratulations are in order. It will all begin to unravel now, over there, and soon over here. Across Europe, tribalism, of all strains, is resurgent. Not only does the EU appear to be breaking up, countries appear about to break up. Scotland will seek a second referendum to leave the U.K. The French National Front of Marine Le Pen and the Dutch Party for Freedom both want out of the EU. As Scots seek to secede from the U.K., Catalonia seeks to secede from Spain, Veneto from Italy, and Flemish nationalists from Belgium. Ethnonationalism seems everywhere ascendant. Yet, looking back in history, is this not the way the world has been going for centuries now? The disintegration of the EU into its component na-

tions would follow, as Vladimir Putin helpfully points out, the dissolution of the USSR into 15 nations, and the breakup of Yugoslavia

into seven. Czechoslovakia lately split in two. The Donbass seeks to secede from Ukraine. Is that so diﬀerent from Transnistria splitting oﬀ from Romania, Abkhazia and South Ossetia seceding from Georgia, and Chechnya seeking separation from Russia? After World War II came the disintegration of the French and British empires and birth of dozens of new nations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. America returned the Philippine islands to their people. The previous century saw the collapse of the Spanish Empire and birth of a score of new nations in our own hemisphere. In Xi Jinping’s China and Putin’s Russia, nationalism is rising, even as China seeks to repress Uighur and Tibetan separatists. People want to rule themselves, and be themselves, separate from all others. Palestinians want their own nation. Israelis want “a Jewish state.” On Cyprus, Turks and Greeks seem happier apart. Kurds are fighting to secede from Turkey and Iraq,

and perhaps soon from Syria and Iran. Afghanistan appears to be splintering into regions dominated by Pashtuns, Hazaras, Uzbeks and Tajiks. Eritrea has left Ethiopia. South Sudan has seceded from Khartoum. Nor is America immune to the populist sentiments surging in Europe. In Bernie Sanders’ fulminations against corporate and financial elites one hears echoes of the radical leftist rhetoric in Greece and Italy against EU banking elites. And as “Brexit” swept the native-born English outside of multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural, multilingual London, populist-nationalist Donald Trump and antiestablishment Ted Cruz swept the native-born white working and middle classes in the primaries. In Britain, all the mainstream parties supported “Remain.” All lost. Nigel Farage’s UK Independence Party alone won. In the past six months, millions of Democrats voted for a 74-year-old socialist against the establishment choice, Hillary Clinton, as Bush-Romney-Ryan Republicanism was massively repudiated in the Republican primaries. As Trump said last week, “We got here because we switched from a policy of Americanism – focusing on what’s good for America’s middle class – to a policy of globalism, focusing on how to make money for large

corporations who can move their wealth and workers to foreign countries all to the detriment of the American worker and the American economy.” What might a Trumpian policy of Americanism over globalism entail? A 10 to 20 percent tariﬀ on manufactured goods to wipe out the trade deficit in goods, with the hundreds of billions in revenue used to slash or eliminate corporate taxes in the USA. Every U.S. business would benefit. Every global company would have an incentive not only to move production here, but its headquarters here. An “America first” immigration policy would secure the border, cut legal immigration to tighten U.S. labor markets, strictly enforce U.S. laws against those breaking into our country, and get tough with businesses that make a practice of hiring those here illegally. In Europe and America, corporate, financial and political elites are increasingly disrespected and transnationalism is receding. An anti-establishment, nationalist, populist wave is surging across Europe and the USA. It is an anti-insider, antiClinton wave, and Trump could ride it to victory.

Battlefield seeks volunteers for sewing event For the Daily Corinthian

The Corinth Battleﬁeld Unit of Shiloh National Military Park will host a sewing day at the Corinth Library on Saturday. This sewing day is part of a partnership between the National Park Service and Corinth Middle School. In preparation for the National Park Service’s Centennial in 2016, extra emphasis was placed on engaging youth across the country through a program called “A Class Act.”

Through this initiative, the Corinth Battleﬁeld Unit of Shiloh adopted the local Corinth Middle School ﬁfth grade class in 2012 and has been working with them since. This year, select students have written, organized, and will act in a dramatic presentation about the Corinth Contraband Camp. These teenagers have also decided to sew costumes for all of the actors. The story of the Corinth Contraband Camp is a

key theme of the Corinth Battleﬁeld Unit. After Corinth’s occupation by Union forces, the small town became a focal point for slaves attempting to free themselves from bondage. These escaped slaves were referred to as “contraband of war.” The Corinth camp was superior to other camps and was active from November 1862 to December 1863. At any given time an estimated 1,500 to 6,000 people were at the vibrant community, which con-

sisted of homes, trade shops, a hospital, church and school house. Hundreds of acres were put under the plow and everyone earned a wage. The men from the camp enlisted in the Union Army and many saw combat. A 21-acre portion of the original Contraband Camp has been developed as a commemorative park. Positioned along a paved walkway are several life-sized bronze statues of newly freed men and women engaged

in the daily activities of the camp. This site commemorates the AfricanAmericans who came to Corinth seeking a start of a new life and took their ﬁrst unswerving steps on the long road to full citizenship. From 9 a.m.–1 p.m., volunteers, working alongside Corinth Middle School students and teachers, will follow 1860s clothing patterns to make shirts and blouses for the presentation. This process will include

assisting teenagers in cutting fabric, sewing clothing and sewing buttons. Volunteers should be familiar with machine sewing and are asked to bring their own machines and equipment. (Those interested in volunteering are asked to register in advance by contacting Ranger Rachel Winters at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center by phone at 662-287-9273 or email Rachel Winters at rachel_winters@nps.gov.)

McNairy educator begins 47th year of helping others BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

From living on a farm to becoming a McNairy County institution in education, Ronnie Teague has been working in education since 1971. He will soon begin his 47th year in education, with 38 of those years served in McNairy County. Having been in education for parts of six decades, Teague has touched many families and hundreds of students over the years in his home county. Teague grew up on a farm in the Hurley community near Chewalla, a group of mostly farm families who were close as if they were one common family. He began his education in the two-teacher Hur-

ley School within walking distance of his home before moving to Ramer School where he graduated in 1966. Teague followed by getting a Business Administration degree at then-Memphis State University in 1970. “My mother and daddy (Merle & Raymond) both wanted me to go to college,” said Teague. “They were so proud and happy when I graduated.” Teague began his teaching career with two years at Ramer School in 1971 by splitting duties with veteran teacher Reta Fulton. He taught science and math that ﬁrst year while Mrs. Fulton taught reading and history to the 6th graders. Following those two years, Teague was moved

Ronnie Teague to McNairy Central High School, where he taught business classes for the next 15 years. He left to work at the brand new Smyrna High School for 10 years, teaching business classes and enjoyed his time in middle Tennessee. He then returned back to McNairy Central.

Teague quickly became one of the most popular teachers at MCHS as he treats all of the students the same. He has been at McNairy County’s Vocational Supervisor for the past 17 years and has made great progress in the system. The school system oﬀers Agriculture, Family Consumer Science, Marketing, Welding, Broadcasting, Engineering, Criminal Justice, Auto Body, Mechatronics, and Wood Shop under his leadership. McNairy Central is one of only two schools that oﬀers Mechatronics -- a mix of mechanics and electronics -- in the state. Jackson State Community College has started an AMT program that allows students to work at a

Jackson industry and go to classes. Teague is happy to say McNairy County had eight of the 20 students from across West Tennessee to be chosen to take part in the program this year. Teague is proud of getting the Ag Building erected near the fairgrounds that is now used on a weekly basis for meetings, classes and conferences. While he is working on a 120-day contract with the system, Teague will not admit he works more days on the job because he loves guiding the programs. He is not paid for any day over 120. The 67-year-old once served as PA announcer for football and clock operator at basketball games for 12 years. He

once had a classic PA announcement on a close fourth down play, “It’s fourth down and a frog’s hair to go.” He began an Interact Club early in his MCHS tenure to help students with their leadership skills and he is equally proud of starting a National Technical Honor Society that rewards students for their technical skills. “When a student comes back to tell me that I did teach them something, that makes it all worth it,” commented Teague. “I can’t tell you how many people come to me and say ‘Mr. Teague, you taught me how to type.’ “ Teaching is a gift and Teague has spread his gift to many people during his long career.

Peddle donation supports Women’s Council scholarships For the Daily Corinthian

OXFORD — Marjorie Peddle’s daughters describe their mother as a woman of grace whose intense love for the University of Mississippi was matched by her interest in the success of young people. Peddle, who died in November 2015, left the university $125,000 to create an endowment that will support scholarships awarded by the Ole Miss Women’s Council. Helmed by an accomplished cadre of female leaders and philanthropists, the OMWC provides scholarships for tuition and books for students, as well as guidance and training in leadership skills, career development and personal growth throughout their tenure at the university. “I would think, knowing mom had such a big giving heart, that she would just feel blessed by giving to young men and women who will be leaders of the country someday and by knowing she had a part in that,” says Ginny Peddle Moss of Germantown, Tennessee. “She was such a woman of principle and grace and has such a giving heart. Any time she had an opportunity to give in a way that would beneﬁt others, she would do it.” Marge Peddle was driven by her generous nature. Laura Peddle Sale, of Oxford, remembers her mother volunteering to fund a bell tower for the university’s Paris-Yates Chapel even before she knew the full scope of the project. Marge and her husband, the late Frank Peddle, contributed the funds for the Peddle Bell Tower, which features 36 bronze bells and a clock; its carillon provides a daily selection of songs at 5 p.m. In 2013, Marge Peddle gave $150,000 so the University Museum could expand its 2,000-piece David M. Robinson Collection of Greek and Roman antiquities objects – the largest collection of antiquities held by a university museum in the South. And with an earlier gift, the couple encouraged the univer-

sity to install a flagpole at Swayze Field. “Mother grew up in Brooklyn going to New York Yankees games and she said, ‘We are going to have a flagpole!’” Sale recalls. “Now we have one.” Sale says it’s fitting that her mother’s bequest supports Women’s Council scholarships because of the opportunities they will give the recipients – new beginnings similar to those received by Marge when Frank moved her to Oxford. “There’s sort of a parallel there for these students receiving a scholarship in our mother’s name,” Sale said. “Daddy gave Mother the opportunity to come to Oxford and do something with her life other than what might have been. “Mother would be honored to know that these young people have this opportunity to come to Ole Miss. It’s like a stepping stone for them. There’s no telling what they’ll do in their lives and what they’ll do for the university because of what somebody did for them. It’s remarkable what people can do

if somebody motivates them and gives them an opportunity.” OMWC Chair Mary Donnelly Haskell of Los Angeles and Oxford knows well the truth of Sale’s statement. An accomplished actress, recording artist and philanthropist, Haskell herself has experienced success because of the doors that were opened for her

throughout her life. “That’s the beauty of a program like the Women’s Council,” Haskell said. “Our students have this amazing opportunity to be shaped by strong, accomplished women who are successful because of the guidance they were given by their own mentors. “It’s just an outstanding model and really an extension of Marge Peddle’s

own philosophy. We are extremely grateful for her generous gift and we believe it will change countless lives going forward.” While not an OMWC member, Marge Peddle was a mentor in her own right. She was an active member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Oxford, an adviser to the Pi Beta Phi sorority at Ole Miss and very involved

with the Daughters of the American Revolution. “She was a great role model to young people in just the way she lived her life,” Moss said. “She always cared about seeing young men and women succeed. What more can you give to somebody than to help them grow and graduate and become leaders. That’s a really great thing to give.”

Bryant could drain fund further The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi House members will return Wednesday to finish giving Gov. Phil Bryant permission to take as much as he needs from financial reserves to cover a deficit of up to $75 million for the budget year ending at midnight Thursday. Senators voted 33-14 Tuesday for a one-time removal of the $50 million limit on how much a governor can pull from the rainy day fund in a budget year. Representatives might have voted on Senate Bill 2001 and gone home as well on Tuesday, but Democrats used a procedural vote to block this same-day consideration, complaining that Republicans had denied them detailed information about the budget process. “It’s been a pure dic-

cussion of the 2017 budget during the special session, despite complaints from Democrats, who blame the shortfall on cuts in business taxes. “It’s impossible to take up the 2016 budget without aﬀecting the 2017 budget,” said Sen. Hob Bryan, D-AmBory. Rep. John Hines, DGreenville, said Republicans also underfunded health care and ignored the need to fix highways and bridges. “The state has gone amok,” Hines said. “The budget is out of control.” The funding of most state agencies is being cut for 2017, and Republican legislative leaders are moving to sweep some special accounts into the general budget, saying the change will make spending more transparent. Several agency leaders say it’s creating a legal

mess that could put programs at risk. Republicans stood by Bryant’s decision to exclude discussion of the 2017 budget. “Whether we’re going to have in issue in fiscal year 2017, nobody knows, because we’re going to have to determine if we have revenue growth,” Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said. State Republican Party chairman Joe Nosef said “these same Democrat legislators who are now criticizing tax cuts actually voted in favor of them in prior legislative sessions.” House Minority Leader David Baria, D-Bay St. Louis, said he oﬀered to debate the bill Tuesday after Democrats received budget information. Republicans, though, said Baria didn’t make that oﬀer clearly or early enough.

House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said the Democrats have only themselves to blame for extending the special session for another day, costing taxpayers another $33,000. The Republican governor already made two rounds of cuts in the current year’s $6 billion spending plan, and taken $45 million from the rainy day fund, which has a remaining balance of about the $350 million. Sen. Briggs Hopson, R-Vicksburg, said agencies can only spend what the Legislature appropriates, so any rainy-day money not needed to balance the 2016 budget will be waiting for lawmakers when they return in January. Bryant excluded dis-

Two explosions and a fire rocked a natural gas plant in southern Mississippi, where flames shot out of the building for hours and one of the blasts could be felt up to 10 miles away, authorities said. The first explosion occurred at 11:30 p.m. Monday and was followed by a larger explosion minutes later, said Jackson County Emer-

gency Management Director Early Etheridge. “The two workers on duty were in a safe room at the time of the two explosions and were not injured,” Etheridge said. He said the plant’s processing area was heavily damaged. The plant, located near Pascagoula, had just been sold to minority owner Enterprise Products Partner L.P. from majority owner BP.

Enterprise had owned 40 percent and BP 60 percent, said company spokesman Rick Rainey. He said oﬃcials would start an investigation into what caused the explosions, but he did not know how long the plant would be oﬄine. The Houston-based company said in a statement that the fire was restricted to inside the facility. “The situation is under control and the plant

has been shut down,” the company said. The Mississippi plant removes the liquid from natural gas and ships it to utilities along the East Coast, Rainey said. The liquid is then sent to other plants where propane and butane are produced. The plant has a capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, but the plant was nowhere near its capacity, he said.

teachers are to be commended for providing diﬀerentiated learning opportunities to our students. These results show their commitment in working to meet the individual needs of students in their classrooms.” Childress said approximately 130 of the 240 test takers benefited from a pre-k program provided by the school district, head start or CorinthAlcorn-Prentiss Early Learning Collaborative private day care provider. “I believe these kindergarten results are in part due to the expanded opportunities these children had in a pre-k education in our community,” added Childress. For the second year in a row, the statewide results show the majority of the state’s youngest students have made significant gains during the academic year, with the average statewide score exceeding the previous school year. Close to 38,000 kindergarteners from 142 districts took the exam in the fall and spring of the 2015-16 school year. The state average score for the fall test was 502. The

average score climbed to 703 on the spring test. The score gain is greater than last year, which grew from 501 in the fall to 680 in the spring. Every district in the state showed progress among their kindergarten classes, though student achievement varied. District average scores ranged from 611 to 769. In addition to the exam, the MDE has provided every school district in the state with a common set of literacy screeners to evaluate children’s progress throughout the year. Other area average test scores include Booneville, 523 average fall score, 687 average spring score, 164 gain, 132 test takers; North Tippah, 483 average fall score, 714 average spring score, 231 gain, 115 test takers; Prentiss, 505 average fall score, 682 average spring score, 177 gain, 200 test takers; South Tippah, 499 average fall score, 737 average spring score, 238 gain, 220 test takers; and Tishomingo, 519 average fall score, 690 average spring score, 171 gain, 259 test takers.

Clean-up Periods — If you have items on a loved one’s grave that you would like to keep, remove them before the start of each cleanup period: March 15-31, July 15-31 and October 15-31. You may replace the items after the first of the following month. Flowers — Flower arrangements should be placed in the vases attached to the memorial markers. Service flowers and other floral arrangements will be removed when they are discolored, wilted, seasonally inappropriate or unsightly. All flowers will be removed during clean-up periods. Flags — A small American, Confederate or military flag may be placed near the head of a grave. Cemetery staff will remove and properly dispose of worn flags. Plantings — Only cemetery management may plant or remove flowers, shrubs or trees. These may not be planted on any individual grave.

Four of the five individual county schools average score was within the Transitional Reader level including Alcorn Central and Kossuth, as well as the now closed elementary schools of Glendale and Rienzi. Only Biggersville scored under Transitional Reader’s 675 average score with 666 as an average score. That number puts BES as a Late Emergent Reader school.

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

Clinton on report: ‘Time to move on’ DENVER — Hillary Clinton said Tuesday the nation should move on after Republicans on the House Benghazi Committee released a report critical of the slow response to the deadly 2012 attacks at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Libya. The former secretary of state said at a campaign event in Denver that the report involved more than two years and $7 million but “found nothing, nothing to contradict” the findings of earlier investigations. “I’ll leave it to others to characterize this report but I think it’s pretty clear it’s time to move on,” Clinton told reporters. The committee’s 800page report, released by Republican members, offered no “smoking gun” about Clinton’s role as secretary of state. The Sept. 11, 2012, attacks, which killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, have been pointed to by Republicans as a major failure by the Obama administration and by Clinton during her tenure leading the State Department. Republican Donald Trump, Clinton’s likely opponent, has repeatedly blamed her for the deaths in Benghazi, falsely contending in a speech last week that she “slept” through the attack. Trump has also slammed her for the initial response from the Obama administration saying the attack was inspired by an anti-Muslim video on YouTube rather than a planned assault. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, noted her lengthy testimony before the panel last year, adding: “We owe it to those brave Americans to make sure we learn the right lessons from this tragedy.”

Devastating floods hit historic resort WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The devastating floods last week that killed 23 people in West Virginia carved a path of destruction at the historic Greenbrier resort, one of the jewels of the state’s tourism industry. Two bodies were discovered on the resort grounds, and the golf course where a PGA tournament was supposed to start during the week of July Fourth is a muddy mess, strewn with trash, tires,

refrigerators and severed trees. The 700-room resort has hosted presidents and royalty and holds a once-secret underground bunker built for Congress in case of nuclear attack during the Cold War. But it’s now serving as a shelter for 300 flood victims, welcomed by the Greenbrier’s owner, gubernatorial candidate Jim Justice.

Hikers rescued on ‘Into the Wild’ trip ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Officials say two hikers rescued after failing to return on time from a trip into the Alaska wilderness are the latest to be saved after trying to reach an abandoned bus made famous by the book and film “Into the Wild.” Search and rescue crews located Michael Trigg of South Carolina and Theodore Aslund of Atlanta on Sunday afternoon. Officials say they were uninjured and in good condition, KTUU-TV in Anchorage reported. The two hikers, who started their trip June 20, had made it to the bus but tried taking a shortcut in Denali National Park on their way back when they realized they were running late. Trigg and Aslund had instructed friends in a post on Facebook before their trip to alert rescuers if they had not returned by Friday. Concerned friends reached out to National Park Service rangers that day. A group of more than 20 people and one helicopter had joined in the search for the hikers. “Each year, multiple people who attempt to visit the bus under-prepared are rescued by professional search and rescue personnel,” according to the National Park Service. The book by Jon Krakauer and movie directed by Sean Penn chronicled the life and death of Chris McCandless, 24, who hiked into the Alaska wilderness in April 1992 with little food and equipment and spent the summer living in the bus. McCandless was found starved to death in the bus almost four months later.

‘Mustang Sally’ hit composer, 82, dies DETROIT — Mack Rice, the composer of ’60s hit “Mustang Sally” and co-writer of the Staple Singers’ landmark “Respect Yourself,” has died in Detroit. He was 82. Laura Rice said her husband died at their home Monday of com-

plications from Alzheimer’s disease. “Sir” Mack Rice was best known for writing “Mustang Sally,” which he initially recorded but singer Wilson Pickett popularized. They had been in a group together called the Falcons, which recorded in Detroit. “When he wrote ‘Mustang Sally’ and he saw that royalty check, he started writing,” Laura Rice said. “He never thought ‘Mustang Sally’ would ever be as big as it became. ... He used to tell me, ‘Honey that Mustang has rolled a long time.’” Rice was a songwriter for Memphis, Tennessee-based Stax Records and split his time between there and Detroit, where he moved from Mississippi as a teen. He wrote “Respect Yourself” with late R&B singer-songwriter Luther Ingram for the Staple Singers, which became Stax’s biggest hit. His wife said he wrote it in about 15 minutes after talking with other musicians in the studio about the need for people to respect themselves in order to be respected by others. Laura Rice and singer Pat Lewis, a longtime friend and collaborator, say he was kind, humble and embodied his other, Memphis-given nickname, “Gentleman.” Both delivered the word in a drawn-out, southern accent, sounding more like “Gentlemain.”

Motion to dismiss filed in Gray case BALTIMORE — The next police officer scheduled to stand trial in the death of a 25-year-old black man is asking for his case to be dismissed. Citing court records, The Baltimore Sun reported Tuesday that Lt. Brian Rice cited what he says are defects in the prosecution’s case. Rice is the highestranking officer charged in the case. He’s also asking prosecutors to disclose grand jury minutes and testimony. Freddie Gray died last year after his neck was broken in a police transport van, sparking protests and unrest. Rice is charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. His trial is set to begin July 5. Last week, a judge acquitted the van’s driver, who had faced the most serious charges, including second-degree murder.

High court denies abortion appeals WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has rejected appeals from Mississippi and Wisconsin seeking to put in place restrictions on abortion clinics that were struck down by lower courts. The justices on Tuesday refused to hear appeals involving laws that would have forced doctors who perform abortions at clinics in the two states to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The orders follow Monday’s decision in which the court struck down a similar provision in Texas. Federal appeals courts in Chicago and New Orleans earlier ruled against the states. Mississippi’s law would have closed the lone abortion clinic in the state, in Jackson.

Police planning July 4th enforcement JACKSON — The Mississippi Highway Patrol will begin the Fourth of July Holiday Enforcement Period on Friday at 6 p.m., ending at midnight Monday. With the anticipation of heavy traffic flow throughout the state, Capt. Johnny Poulos says all available troopers will be assigned saturation patrols in an effort to maximize visibility and reduce traffic crashes. Poulos says motorists should be aware of the fine increase concerning texting while driving in Mississippi which also goes into effect Friday. The fine will increase

from $25 to $100 and will be strictly enforced to combat distracted driving. He says safety checkpoints will be established during the period to remove impaired drivers from the roadways and promote seatbelt usage.

Police: Couple left boy in hot vehicle BAY ST. LOUIS — A woman and her boyfriend each face a misdemeanor child neglect charge after police they say they left her 9-year-old boy in a hot pickup truck while they went to a restaurant. Police Chief Mike DeNardo tells The Sun Herald police had been looking for the parents about 45 minutes Sunday when the unidentified couple walked up and asked what was going on. He says officers reported the truck was parked in the sun with its windows rolled down, about 180 yards from the restaurant.

DeNardo says the mother said the boy didn’t want to get out of the truck so they went in to eat without him.

Woman accused of embezzlement BILOXI — Police say a 59-year-old Biloxi woman is accused of embezzling more than $60,000 from two companies where she worked. The Sun Herald reports Susan Kim Moore, of D’Iberville, was arrested Monday on a charge of embezzlement of greater than $25,000. In May, police say A.H. Lank Patterson Co. Inc. and Patterson Apartments, which are sister companies, filed a report with Biloxi police alleging that an employee, identified as Moore, was taking money from both companies.An investigation found more than $60,000 worth of fraudulent transactions over the past two years. Moore was taken to Harrison County jail.

Twitter is no LinkedIn Twitter shares have fluttered upward ever since another big social network, LinkedIn, took a $26 billion buyout from Microsoft. But investors shouldn’t break out into happy birdsong quite yet. Rumors of a Twitter takeover have circulated for years, though no deal has ever materialized. (Twitter won’t comment on such speculation.) Analysts such as Evercore’s Ken Sena believe, though, that the huge LinkedIn sale is a “clear positive” for Twitter. Translated from analystese, that means social-media companies might be

worth more than the market thinks. But Twitter is not LinkedIn, much less Facebook. Its market value is $12 billion, less than half of that of LinkedIn. Its shares are cheap by some standards, but its revenue growth is anemic for a potential acquisition target. When Facebook bought Instagram in 2012, it cited the potential for the photo-sharing app to expand its user base, then a paltry 30 million. Good call: Four years later, Instagram boasts more than 400 million users. Twitter, meanwhile, boasts 310 million users — but that number has barely budged over the past five quarters.

Birds of a feather?

Microsoft bought LinkedIn to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals. But no similar buyer seems to exist for Twitter. $861 mil.

The Commerce Department releases a report today indicating how Americans’ personal income changed in May. Economists predict that personal income increased 0.3 percent last month. That would be a slightly smaller gain than in the previous two months, when incomes grew 0.4 percent.

General Mills serves up its latest quarterly snapshot today. The maker of Cheerios cereal, Yoplait yogurt and other packaged foods has been struggling with weak demand for cereal. That’s contributed to a slide in revenue for the company in the first three quarters of its current fiscal year. Wall Street expects General Mills’ fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and revenue declined from a year earlier.
