Library system could close branches

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Northeast Regional Library will seek help from the counties it serves to offset major reductions in state funding.

Without some funding assistance locally in the upcoming fiscal year, Executive Director

Dee Hare said the libraries will not be able to maintain services.

“We will have no alternative but to close some of the smaller branches and drastically reduce the operating hours at the remaining branches,” she said.

“The crisis that we are in right now is unlike anything we have

ever experienced before.”

The regional system includes Corinth, Rienzi, Iuka, Burnsville, Booneville, Walnut, Ripley, Tishomingo, Chalybeate, Baldwyn, Blue Mountain, Belmont and Marietta.

The majority of the regional library’s operating budget

comes from the counties served.

The cities where branches are located provide funds for the upkeep of the library facilities and grounds.

“We are asking all of our counties for an extra 10 percent over what they have been giving,” said Hare.

The regional library was budgeted at $136,269 in the current Alcorn County budget. The request for fiscal 2018, which begins Oct. 1, will be $149,896.

Shirts celebrate Slugburger festival spirit Registration set for free legal clinic

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

No Slugburger Festival is complete without a official Tshirt.

This year’s design is a throwback to the quintessential event’s rich 30 year history, according to Main Street Director Angela Avent.

“It’s a simple and laid back design featuring the traditional slug while also recognizing the cornerstone events of the festival weekend – the eating contest, the Midway and the entertainment,” said Avent.

“All shirts are royal blue in color with red outline font and art.”

Shirts went on sale this week ahead of the July 13-15 festival.

Sizes include youth extra small through adult 3XL. Prices are $10 for youth sizes and $15 for adult sizes.

Shirts can be purchased at Borroum’s, The Alliance and FMBank.

“We will also have shirts available at the festival, as always,” added Avent.

The 30th annual festival will feature entertainment, a pageant, an eating contest, carnival rides and fresh slugburgers cooked onsite.

The entertainment lineup includes the local Slug Voice Competition sponsored by Garrett Eye Clinic on Thursday night, Cary Hudson and George McConnell Duo and Mustache Band on Friday night while Tate Moore of

The World Slugburger Eating Championship will return on Saturday afternoon and feature several top ranked competition eaters.

The Miss Slugburger Festival Pageant will also return this year after several off years.

Entertainment will be set up at the Corinth Depot Complex and C.A.R.E. Honor Garden, while the festival’s carnival

Food bank helps those in need

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Traffic was backed up into the turn lane on U.S. Highway 72 East Friday morning as people waited for their opportunity to turn into the Church of the Crossroads for monthly food distribution.

The Mid-South Food Bank’s monthly distribution is the first Friday of every month and this month saw a large number of participants who arrived for boxes of food.

The Corinth Police Department came to help direct traffic and make sure the line moved in an orderly manner as it turned into the church, and snaked around the parking lot, as volunteers worked in the hot sun to provide assistance.

Mid-South Food Bank is a Memphis-based food bank set up at the church to provide food to eligible, pre-screened families.

FOOD CONTINUED FROM 1A

The church has been distributing for the past six months. The MidSouth Food Bank has partnered up with Caterpillar and volunteer Donnie Waldrop said they found out this week that the food bank distribution will be able to continue for another 12 months.

Friday, Waldrop said they were prepared to hand out 430 boxes of food.

In June, the Food Bank provided 352 boxes to serve 901 people.

Altogether, from February to June, the Food Bank has distributed 1,860 boxes of food to serve 4,873 people in the Crossroads area.

In a previous interview, Mid-South Food Bank Marketing Manager Andrew Bell said, “The

program is very effective in getting an additional weeks’ worth of food to people who receive benefits such as SNAP. Those food benefits run out in about 21/2 weeks so this food bank helps provide them with more food so they can use that extra money to pay the higher utility bills in the winter, for example.”

Mid-South Food Bank distributes more than 13 million pounds of food to over 200 Partner Agencies annually.

Board member and volunteer Danny Beavers said they were all very blessed with the help of Mid-South Food Bank and Caterpillar to be able to provide the service to help feed people.

run smoothly.

Today’s Highlight in History On July 9, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York.

On this date In 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous “cross of gold” speech at the Democratic national convention in Chicago.

In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tennessee.

In 1945, architect Frank Lloyd Wright unveiled his design for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, a spiral structure on Manhattan’s Upper East Side that was completed in 1959.

In 1951, President Harry S. Truman asked Congress to formally end the state of war between the United States and Germany. (An official end to the state of war was declared in October 1951.)

In 1962, pop artist Andy Warhol’s exhibit of 32 paintings of Campbell’s soup cans opened at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles.

In 1982, Pan Am Flight 759, a Boeing 727, crashed in Kenner, Louisiana, shortly after takeoff from New Orleans International Airport, killing all 145 people aboard and eight people on the ground.

In 1995, Jerry Garcia performed for the final time as frontman of the Grateful Dead during a concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field (Garcia died a month later).

Local girls go to World Dance Championships

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Something special is happening for six Crossroads area girls — they will test their mettle soon in a championship competition for which they have been preparing for a very long time.

An eight-member dance team from the Contemporary Arts Center received two special invitations — called “Golden Tickets” — to compete at the World Dance Championships in Secaucus, N.J., and will go there at the end of July.

Clara Parker, Alaina Parker, Lauren Robbins, Alli Shinault, Kaylee Lawson, Hope Mercier, Gracie Weeden and Hanna Jeffcoat competed in Chattanooga, Tenn., and Murfreesboro, Tenn., during the regular dance competition season, which runs from February to April, and earned platinum scores. Those scores alone were high enough to earn them a place at the World Dance Championships, but one specific routine compelled judges to offer the girls two Golden Tickets to compete in New Jersey this year.

Trika Smith, who is a co-owner of the Contemporary Arts Center with professional dancer and choreographer Volante Jones, said the girls have been competing together for years now. The piece that has earned the attention of judges, is called “Unsteady.”

“It’s a contemporary piece.

The costumes are very simple.

The dance and choreography speaks for itself. It’s very moving,” said Smith.

Smith said the piece was choreographed last August.

“When I first heard the music, I felt that there would be a connection with the girls because of their ages and their struggles fitting into life right now. And, life can be unsteady ... that was a connection for them,” said Jones.

Smith said when it was choreographed, the girls were allowed to develop their own backstory and they ultimately

Eight dancers from the Contemporary Arts Center won two Golden Tickets, as well as high performance scores, during their their competition season. Dancers are Clara Parker (back row, from left), Alaina Parker, Lauren Robbins, Alli Shinault, Kaylee Lawson, Hope Mercier, Gracie Weeden (front row, from left) and Hanna Jeffcoat. Six of the eight girls will compete at the World Dance Championships in New Jersey.

“They have finally started dancing with their hearts and not just their arms and legs.”

Volante Jones Choreographer came up with the fact that life can be rocky — and it’s unsteady — and it’s good to have people in your life to hang onto.

“We took that and put it on stage,” said Jones, “and it obviously works. They deserve a chance to go and showcase all the work they’ve done this year.”

Of the eight girls who perform the routine, six will go to the World Dance Championships. All were invited, but two girls decided that the timing of the championship competition would be too difficult with the start of school looming near and other things taking priority. Of the six that are going, each girls’

family provided the funds for the girls’ expenses.

The girls who are going range from home schooled, to county schools and city schools.

Smith said the dancers had won Golden Tickets before in previous years, but did not make the choice to go because it’s another expenditure of expense and energy and they felt the girls were not ready then.

Now, it’s different.

“They have brought into this piece ... what it means to them.

The other pieces did not have the same chemistry as this one,” said Smith.

Their choreographer saw the

difference in the performance, too.

“They are now dancing from the inside out and they have conveyed that to the audience. They have finally started dancing with their hearts and not just their arms and legs,” said Jones.

The choreographer said she told the dancers they are only expected to go and do their very best. They are being judged by human beings. It doesn’t matter if they earn a first place or not, they just need to go and give it all they have.

Giving it all — no matter the outcome — will be the only true measure of success.

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Kudos to supervisors for ‘ACSpay’ program The unending local problem of too many pets with no place to call home now may have a new flicker of hope.

Or as in the words of Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter Director Charlotte Doehner, “This is the answer to our problems.”

We certainly hope so.

We speak of the new “ACSpay” program, which will provide low-cost spaying for female dogs owned by low-income families who may not be able to afford it at regular cost. The cost of $25 will include the procedure and a rabies vaccination.

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors gave its approval to the program on Wednesday. The pilot program launches Aug. 1 for Rienzi only.

Supervisors hope the program will expand to the entire county.

We applaud supervisors for supporting this effort and moving the program forward.

Third District Supervisor Tim Mitchell is chairman for the program.

The shelter remains at over-capacity. Shelter volunteers say there has been a “population explosion of dogs.”

Several area veterinarians have agreed to participate. Danyel Smith is administrator for the program. Applications begin on Aug. 1, and the spays will start on Sept. 1.

Qualifying residents will be asked to bathe the dog the night before, not feed her after midnight, and bring her to the shelter on Proper Street on the morning of the appointment. The shelter will transport the dog to the participating clinic for the procedure.

The owner will then pick up the dog between 4 and 5 p.m. at the shelter.

With a standard spay beginning at $120, the shelter believes a lot of interest in the program is anticipated. The shelter is budgeting for about 40 per month.

Once the program gets established, the animal shelter hopes it can look at expanding to include neuters and cats.

Doehner is excited about the program. We are as well.

“I think it’s going to be great for the community,” Doehner told the Daily Corinthian.

“We have seen and talked about a number of areas that have done this, and it has really solved their problem. It’s reduced the number of animals coming to the shelter, which is a cost to the taxpayer, and the number of animals being dropped off in other people’s property. This is going to have a significant impact.”

We think so, too.

Several fundraisers will be held this month to help support ACSpay.

Donations to the program may be made online at cachs.com through the Paypal link.

Specify the ACSpay program.

The phone number to call to apply for the program will be published at a later date.

A place where civility once ruled PLYMOUTH NOTCH, Vermont — When was the last time you heard a member of one political party praise a member of the other party?

Here in this hamlet nestled among the Green Mountains, former Baltimore Democratic Mayor Kurt Schmoke rose to speak well of our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, a Republican. The occasion was the annual celebration of Coolidge’s birthday on July 4, the only president born on the day we celebrate America’s birth.

Perhaps it takes the death of one and the absence from public office of another (Schmoke is now president of the University of Baltimore) to cool political passions, but the former mayor’s respect for Coolidge’s commitment to civil rights for African Americans and full voting rights for women long before both movements got moving was, itself, moving.

Schmoke quoted from a commencement address Coolidge delivered on June 6, 1924 at Howard University, a historically black college founded in 1867.

The previous year, 29 black

people were lynched in the U.S., according to Historical Statistics of the United In Cal States.

Thomas 1924, there would be 16 Columnist more.

Coolidge was vehemently opposed to inequality. He said, “The nation has need of all that can be contributed to it through the best efforts of all its citizens. The colored people have repeatedly proved their devotion to the high ideals of our country. ... The propaganda of prejudice and hatred which sought to keep the colored men from supporting the national cause (WWI) completely failed. The black man showed himself the same kind of citizen, moved by the same kind of patriotism as the white man.”

The Howard speech wasn’t a one-off. Coolidge made a similar pronouncement in his first State of the Union address on Dec. 6, 1923: “Numbered among our population are some 12

million colored people. Under our Constitution, their rights are just as sacred as those of any other citizen.

It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights.”

Coolidge lost every Southern state in the 1924 election, but won all the rest, save Wisconsin, taking 54 percent of the popular vote and 72 percent of the electoral vote.

It would be 40 years before President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, signed civil rights legislation recognizing rights that Coolidge (and Thomas Jefferson) believed were endowed to all human beings by their Creator, but Coolidge showed the way.

In his autobiography, Coolidge wrote of an America that is mostly forgotten, but which cries out to be reclaimed: “The neighborhood around the Notch was made up of people of exemplary habits. Their speech was clean, and their lives were above reproach.

They had no mortgages on their farms. If any debts were contracted they were promptly paid. Credit was good and there was money

in the savings bank.”

He learned from his father what he called “the practical side of government.” He said he, “understood that it consisted of restraints which the people had imposed upon themselves in order to promote the common welfare.”

About taxes he said he learned that when “taxes were laid, someone had to work to earn the money to pay them. I saw that a public debt was a burden on all the people in a community and while it was necessary to meet the needs of a disaster it cost much in interest and ought to be retired as soon as possible.”

Doesn’t all of this -- from Schmoke’s kind words about a member of the opposite political party, to Coolidge’s innate decency and fairness toward all, seem like another country?

It wasn’t. With notable exceptions, it was largely practiced — and expected — in an America not that long ago. Today’s America is in desperate need of rediscovering what Vermonters then saw as self-evident truths.

Prayer For Today Lord God, I come to thee for help, that I may make more of my life. Steady me, that I may know its value without wavering, and the loss it sustains from wasted days. I pray that I may live more in thy commandments, and with my work accept the joy of thy love.

Amen.

Trump is winning immigration debate With his penchant for tweeted insults and GIFs, Donald Trump will never be mistaken for a master of the sweet art of persuasion.

Yet he is clearly winning the public argument on the issue of immigration.

He isn’t doing it through sustained, careful attention.

No, it is the sheer fact of his November victory, and the data showing the importance of the issue of immigration to it, that has begun to shift the intellectual climate.

It had been assumed, even by many Republicans like John McCain, that opposition to amnesty and higher levels of legal immigration would doom the GOP to minority status forevermore. Trump blew up this conventional wisdom.

Now, intellectuals on the center-left are calling for Democrats to rethink the party’s orthodoxy on immigration, which has become more and more hostile to enforcement and to any skepticism about current high levels of immigration.

The swing here was enormous. A Trump defeat in November after running on an exaggerated version of immigration restriction would have sent Republicans scurrying back to the

comfortable, corporatefriendly cliches about so-called comprehensive immiRich gration reLowry form. And if Hillary ClinNational ton had won Review on a platform that doubled down on President Barack Obama’s executive amnesties, serious immigration enforcement would have lost its political legitimacy.

In light of the election, Josh Barro of Business Insider, William Galston of the Brookings Institution, Peter Beinart of The Atlantic, Fareed Zakaria of CNN and Stanley Greenberg of Democracy Corps, among others, have urged Democrats to recalibrate.

Many of these writers don’t merely note the perilous politics of the maximalist Democratic position on immigration or argue that policy should take account of the economic costs as well as the benefits of immigration. They also give credence to cultural concerns over mass immigration — concerns that much of the left considers poorly disguised hate.

In an act of heresy for the Davos set, Fareed Zakaria recommends that “the party should take a position on immigration that is less absolutist and recognizes both the cultural and economic costs of large-scale immigration.”

This sentiment wouldn’t be so noteworthy if the Democratic Party hadn’t become so radicalized on immigration. Peter Beinart’s essay in The Atlantic is a trenchant reminder that as recently as 10 years ago, the left allowed much more room for dissent on immigration. Go back a little further, to the 1990s, and Bill Clinton was forthrightly denouncing illegal immigration, and liberal giant Barbara Jordan was heading a bipartisan commission that called for enhanced enforcement and reduced levels of legal immigration.

In the interim, Democrats convinced themselves that liberality on immigration has only political upside, and that immigration is in effect a civil-rights issue, and therefore nonnegotiable.

Reversing field won’t be easy. The House just voted on Kate’s Law, named after Kate Steinle, the young woman killed in the sanctu-

ary city of San Francisco by an illegal immigrant who had re-entered the country after getting deported five times. The bill merely strengthens the penalties on repeated illegal re-entry, yet only 24 Democrats could bring themselves to vote for it.

The pull of the left’s cosmopolitanism is strong. In an attack on Peter Beinart, Dylan Matthews of Vox argues that the left’s egalitarianism can’t stop at the nation’s borders -- “it means a strong presumption in favor of open immigration.”

So, it’d be a mistake to make too much of the recent spate of articles calling for Democrats to rethink this issue. If Democrats are ever going to shift on immigration, though, elite opinion has to change first, and at least there is now an opening.

Few would have guessed that in the 1990s, conservative Republicans, so unreservedly in favor of tough sentencing, would be open to joining liberals on criminal-justice reform. Perhaps Democrats will eventually recalibrate on immigration.

If so, the unlikely instrument of the sea change will have been none other than Donald J. Trump.

ties are: • Tishomingo County: Current - $85,500; FY 2018 request - $94,050 • Prentiss County: Current - $93,000; FY 2018 request - $102,300 • Tippah County: Current - $126,500; FY 2018 request - $139,150 Dee said the system has taken “unprecedented cuts” in funding administered by the Mississippi Library Commission, particularly the Personnel Incentive Grant. At the end of the prior fiscal year, the regional library’s allotment for the current year was to be four quarterly payments of $50,705, but each payment has fallen short by progressively larger amounts.

The fourth payment, due in September, has been reduced to $26,989.

The regional library

expected to receive $202,820 for the year but will receive only $135,745, a cut of $67,075.

The regional library has learned it will receive four payments of $26,989 in FY 2018, a reduction of $94,864.

“And that’s if there are not any additional state budget reductions,” said Hare. “We simply cannot continue operating as we are with that kind of loss.”

She said the regional library’s operating budget is already bare-bones.

“In the last two months,” said Hare, “we’ve had to make more cuts in some areas, such as renegotiating some of our office equipment maintenance contracts, cutting each branch’s book orders, eliminating several national newspapers at the Corinth branch and dropping all digital magazine subscriptions.”

CLINIC CONTINUED FROM 1A

Individuals receiving assistance must have income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guideline.

The advice given helps the clients represent themselves in the legal matters. About 50 eligible clients received assistance in Alcorn County

Also under consideration is increasing the charge for photocopies, computer copies and overdue book fines.

“Unfortunately, we are at the point where we just don’t have anywhere else to cut expenses except for salaries,” said Hare.

The regional system has never before looked at branch closures, and Hare said it is not a decision that would be made lightly. Factors would include operating costs, the branch’s circulation numbers and how far a resident would have to drive to get to the next library.

“We think that our public libraries offer a tremendous amount of value to their communities, maybe even more so in our smallest communities to help people who don’t have anywhere else to find those kind of services,” said Hare. “It’s really heartbreaking to think of anybody losing their public library.”

Trump, allies seek counter to N.Korean ‘menace’

BY KEN THOMAS AND DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press

HAMBURG, Germany — Wrapping up his second European tour, President Donald Trump searched for consensus with Asian allies Saturday on how to counter the “menace” of North Korea after its testlaunch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

“Something has to be done about it,” Trump said as he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In a separate meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Trump said the two were tackling “the problem and menace of North Korea.”

The White House said after the meeting with Abe that the U.S. was “prepared to use the

full range of capabilities” in defense of Japan. Trump and Abe committed, the White House said, “to redoubling their efforts to bring all nations together to show North Korea that there are consequences for its threatening and unlawful actions.”

The Trump administration has tried to press Beijing to rein in North Korea, a major trading partner of China, and halt Kim Jong Un’s development of nuclear weapons before they can threaten U.S. territory. Trump has voiced his frustration in recent days that China hasn’t done more, suggesting he may take steps of his own.

But during his meeting, Trump told Xi, “I appreciate the things that you have done relative to the very substan-

tial problem that we all face in North Korea.”

Xi said during the meeting that “sensitive issues remain” in the China-U.S. relationship and more work needed to be done.

But he said he had built with Trump a “close contact.”

Trump’s extensive slate of meetings with Abe, Xi, British Prime Minister Theresa May and others came on the final day of the annual Group of 20 summit, which has been marked by violent demonstrations by anti-globalization activists. Trump also had a brief, unscheduled meeting with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about the situation in Syria.

Abe, speaking through a translator, noted that the secu-

rity situation in the Asia Pacific region has become “increasingly severe” due to North Korea’s push to develop its ballistic missile and nuclear program.

Abe said he wanted to “demonstrate the robust partnership as well as the bonds” between Japan and the U.S. on the issue.

North Korea’s successful test launch of an ICBM was a milestone in its long-term effort to build a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead to attack the United States.

The issue was a frequent topic of discussion at the summit, and the White House said earlier that the U.S., South Korea and Japan were pressing for additional measures against North Korea to demonstrate the “serious consequences” for

its latest provocations.

The three nations have been calling for “early adoption” of a new U.N. Security Council resolution and additional sanctions to demonstrate to Pyongyang the consequences of its actions.

Bringing China on board is a key part of the plan. The administration wants China to fully enforce international sanctions intended to starve Pyongyang of revenue for its nuclear and missile programs. But Trump has been dissatisfied with China’s response.

Earlier in the week, he vented on Twitter that trade between China and North Korea had grown nearly 40 percent at the start of 2017. “So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!”

Medicaid cut in GOP World leaders stand up to Trump on climate health bill concerns the nursing home set

BY DAVID MCHUGH AND GEIR MOULSON Associated Press

BY TERRY SPENCER Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Amy Bernard and her brother kept their mother out of a nursing home as long as they could, until Parkinson’s and dementia took their toll and she was seriously injured in a fall.

Bernard is happy with her mother’s nursing home care, but it comes at a steep price: $7,000 per month, an amount that would be way beyond the older woman’s means if not for Medicaid, which picks up $3,000 of the tab.

Which is why Bernard and many other Americans like her are watching the health care debate on Capitol Hill with trepidation.

The Senate Republicans’ plan to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act would cut projected Medicaid spending over the next decade by 25 percent.

Supporters of the bill say nursing home subsidies would not suffer significant cuts, but opponents say they are inevitable.

The uncertainty is frustrating to those who rely on them.

In the case of Bernard’s 83-year-old mother, retired teacher Franceen Golditch, the $4,000 that she receives each month from her pension and Social Security goes almost entirely to the nursing home.

“Without Medicaid supplementing, I don’t know what would happen,” said Bernard, a self-employed graphic artist in Boynton Beach, Florida. She added: “I have a house and kids to support myself. I honestly have no answer.”

While the federalstate Medicaid program is most often associated with poor children and single mothers, almost two-thirds of its spending goes to the elderly and the disabled, even though they make up just 1 in 4 recipients.

The reason: Well over half the nation’s 1.3 million senior citizens in nursing homes receive Medicaid.

The burden is expected to balloon as the 74 million surviving baby boomers — those born between 1946 and 1964 — get older. They are 52 to 71 now.

In part because of the Medicaid cuts, the GOP bill lacks the votes to pass in the Senate, which is expected to take up the measure again after Congress’ weeklong July Fourth recess.

The bill would cut Medicaid’s projected budget over the next 10 years by a combined $772 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

That would decrease the amount projected to be spent federally on Medicaid during that time to about $4.2 trillion.

HAMBURG, Germany — World powers lined up against U.S. President Donald Trump on climate change, reaffirming their support for international efforts to fight global warming.

The Group of 20 summit that ended Saturday in Hamburg also revealed tensions on trade, as the U.S. administration and international partners forged a deal that endorsed open markets but acknowledged countries had a right to put up barriers to block unfair practices The summit’s final statement made clear that the other countries and the European Union unanimously supported the Paris climate agreement rejected by Trump.

They called the deal to reduce greenhouse gases “irreversible” and vowed to implement it “swiftly” and without exception.

The other countries, from European powers such as Germany to emerging ones such as China and energy producers such as Saudi Arabia,

merely “took note” of the U.S. position, which was boxed off in a separate paragraph that the summit host, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, made clear applied only to the United States.

She said the U.S. position was “regrettable” but that the summit had achieved “good results in some areas,” and cited a hard-won agreement on trade that included Trump and the United States but did not erase the differences over the issue. She said the talks had been at times “difficult.”

Trump’s chief economic adviser played down tensions between the U.S. and other nations as the president headed home from his first G-20 summit.

Gary Cohn told reporters aboard Air Force One that while communiques “are never easy,” he thought this one “came together pretty reasonably. He said having “a diversity of opinions in a group of 20” was not unexpected.

“To get 20 of your friends to agree to have dinner tonight is pretty

hard,” Cohn said.

Cohn added that while the U.S. obviously has chosen to get out of the Paris agreement, “we do go out of our way to say in there that that doesn’t mean we don’t support the environment and we’re still working for the environment.”

On trade, the talks preserved the G-20’s condemnation of protectionism, a statement that has been a hallmark of the group’s efforts to combat the global financial crisis and the aftereffects of the Great Recession.

The group added new elements, however: an acknowledgment that trade must be “reciprocal and mutually advantageous” and that countries could use “legitimate trade defense instruments” if they are being taken advantage of.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said there was “incredible consensus” on the issue and that the U.S. pushed to include the phrasing about “reciprocal” trade.

The wording echoes concerns voiced by Trump, who has said trade must be fair as well

as open and must benefit American companies and workers. He has focused on trade relationships where other countries run large surpluses with the U.S., meaning they sell more to U.S. consumers than they buy from American companies.

That’s in contrast to the approach favored by Merkel and the EU, who stress multilateral trade frameworks such as the World Trade Organization.

More broadly, concerns about trade and its impact on workers figured large in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and in Britain’s referendum vote to leave the European Union, a free-trade bloc.

Yet pro-trade officials from the European Union pointed out that the language in the G-20 statement contains no departure from the current global system of regulation, which already allows countries to take defensive measures within the rules of the WTO. Those can include import taxes that offset unfair practices such as government subsidies or below-cost pricing.

Election officials gather amid voter data uproar Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — State election officials gathering this weekend amid an uproar over a White House commission investigating allegations of voter fraud and heightened concern about Russian attempts to interfere in U.S. elections say a lack of information from federal

SENIORDAY

intelligence officials about attempts to breach voting systems across the country is a major concern.

Both Republicans and Democrats gathered in Indianapolis for a meeting of the National Association of Secretaries of State say they are frustrated because they have been largely kept in the dark by federal officials.

“The chief election official in each state should be told if there are potential breaches of that state’s data or potential intrusions,” said Republican Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams.

The Department of Homeland Security last fall said hackers believed to be

Russian agents targeted voter registration systems in more than 20 states.

And a leaked National Security Agency document from May said Russian military intelligence had attempted to hack into voter registration software used in eight states.

That backdrop has drawn an unusual spotlight to conference, which kicked-off Friday and is being attended by officials from 37 states. The FBI and Homeland Security were attempting to allay fears by holding a series of closed-door meetings Saturday on voting security with elections officials.

“We need to make sure we’re doing everything

and anything possible in 2018. We need better cooperation from federal agencies,” said California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, a Democrat.

There is no indication so far that voting or ballot counting was affected in the November election, but officials are concerned that the Russians may have gained knowledge that could help them disrupt future elections.

The conference also lands one week after the commission investigating President Donald Trump’s allegations of election fraud requested voter information from all 50 states, drawing bipartisan blowback.

Backyard fireworks get groom arrested MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. — Guests watching a fireworks display after a New York wedding were cheering the bride, groom and booms when police arrived. The groom ended up under arrest.

Nassau County police said they were called to a Massapequa home early Saturday and found a big party with professional-level pyrotechnics in the backyard. Police said 39-year-old Thomas Giglio explained he was setting them off to celebrate his wedding.

He was arraigned Saturday on a fireworks possession charge.

Railroad’s liability in death to be decided SAVANNAH, Ga. — A movie director served jail time for trespassing onto a Georgia railroad bridge and putting his film crew in the path of a freight train that slammed into the group and killed a young camera assistant. Now the dead woman’s parents are going to court saying the railroad should share the blame, even though it denied the filmmakers permission to work on its tracks.

Sarah Jones, 27, died on a trestle spanning the Altamaha River in rural Wayne County on Feb. 20, 2014. The train collision also injured six fellow crew members as filming began on “Midnight Rider,” a movie based on the life story of Allman Brothers Band singer Gregg Allman. The illfated production ended with the tragedy.

More than three years

later, a Savannah judge has scheduled a civil trial to begin Monday in a wrongful death lawsuit by Jones’ parents against CSX Transportation. Barring a lastminute settlement, a jury will decide if the railroad, which operated the train and owned the bridge, should have taken precautions to avert the deadly crash.

Richard and Elizabeth Jones are seeking monetary damages in the lawsuit, but have not specified an amount.

Attorneys for Jacksonville, Florida-based CSX insist the collision wasn’t the company’s fault. Investigators found CSX had twice denied the “Midnight Rider” filmmakers’ requests for permission to shoot on its railroad trestle — each time in writing.

Both the Wayne County sheriff and the National Transportation Safety Board determined the movie crew, which had placed a hospital bed across the tracks for a planned scene, was trespassing when the CSX train came upon the group at 58 mph with its horn and whistle blaring. The train hit Jones and ran over her.

Mistrial for officer shocks prosecutor TULSA, Okla. — An Oklahoma prosecutor said Saturday that he was shocked when a judge declared a mistrial in the case of a white former Tulsa police officer who fatally shot his daughter’s black boyfriend because jurors had deliberated for only a few hours.

It was the third mistrial in nine months for former Tulsa police of-

ficer Shannon Kepler, and all of the trials have been overseen by District Judge Sharon Holmes. Kepler doesn’t deny shooting 19-yearold Jeremey Lake, but claims he was acting in self-defense. Kepler testified that Lake was armed, although police didn’t find a weapon on Lake or at the scene.

The shooting happened shortly after Lake had started dating Kepler’s then-18-year-old daughter, Lisa.

Attorneys said jurors deliberated for just 2½ to three hours on Friday before saying they were deadlocked 6-6.

Holmes reminded jurors that the trial had started June 27 and asked whether that changed their minds. When they said no, the judge declared a mistrial.

“I have never experienced that procedure before in my life,” Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said, noting that judges often tell juries to continue deliberating to try to reach a unanimous verdict in such circumstances.

“I was just hopeful that the court would have followed prior procedure and have the jury deliberate more,” Kunzweiler said. The judge had told the previous juries in the case to continue deliberating after jurors reported they were deadlocked.

In one case, the judge waited until 2:30 a.m. before declaring a mistrial when jurors reported they could not break their deadlock.

But defense attorney Richard O’Carroll said the procedure was not unusual and that the prosecution’s case — not the jury— was to blame for the mistrial.

Atmos to buy town’s natural gas system JACKSON — Atmos Energy Corp. will buy a Mississippi town’s natural gas system.

The Mississippi Public Service Commission voted Thursday to approve Atmos’ purchase from the Madison County town of Flora for $602,000. Rates and service will not change on the system, which has 1,300 customers in Madison and Hinds counties.

Atmos and its predecessor have been leasing and operating Flora’s natural gas system since 1987, paying about $40,000 a year in lease fees.

The town agreed to sell the system to Atmos in December.

Jail lawsuit costs counties $75,000 JACKSON — Four Mississippi counties will pay $75,000 in settling a lawsuit by two men who were jailed for months in Scott County without being indicted or getting court-appointed lawyers.

Will Allen, a lawyer for the counties, said Scott, Leake, Neshoba and Newton counties will pay the money.

U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate approved the settlement last month, with the counties agreeing to appoint lawyers for poor defendants immediately after their arrest and to consider alternatives to money bail.

Plaintiffs Josh Bassett and Octavious Burks will receive money as part of the settlement. The two sued in 2014.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the MacArthur Justice Cen-

ter pursued the suit, alleging poor people are being unfairly jailed because they can’t afford bail. They also sought changes in appointing public defenders.

Ex-jailer, 47 others arrested in drug case JACKSON — An 18-month joint drug investigation has resulted in the arrests of 48 people including a former Lawrence County jailer.

Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director John Dowdy said the suspects were picked up Thursday and Friday in raids in five southwest Mississippi counties.

Dowdy said in a news release Friday that among the drugs agents encountered during the investigation were 423 dosages of hydrocodone, 107 dosages of oxycodone, 135 grams of methamphetamine, 19 grams of crack cocaine and eight grams of cocaine powder.

He said arrest warrants were served on suspects in Lawrence, Lincoln, Walthall, Jefferson Davis, Pike and Copiah counties, though most face charges for selling drugs in Lawrence County.

2 special elections set for House seats HATTIESBURG — Nonpartisan special elections are set for two of the four vacancies in the Mississippi House.

Three people are running July 25 in District 108 in Pearl River County to succeed Republican Mark Formby of Picayune. He’s now on the Workers Compensation Commission.

Republican Toby Barker left the District 102 House seat, in Forrest

and Lamar counties, to be Hattiesburg mayor as an independent. Gov. Phil Bryant on Friday set July 24 as candidates’ qualifying date, Sept. 12 as the election and Oct. 3 as the runoff.

Bryant will set elections to replace Democrat Tyrone Ellis of Starkville, who retired; and Republican Rep. Alex Monsour, who left to become a Vicksburg alderman.

Ellis’ District 38 is in Clay, Lowndes and Oktibbeha.

Monsour’s District 54 is in Issaquena, Warren and Yazoo counties.

Man pleads guilty to attempted murder PRATT, Kan. — A man suspected of killing and wounding people in Mississippi, New Mexico and Kansas in February has pleaded guilty to charges arising from the Kansas case.

Alex Bridges Deaton, of Philadelphia, Mississippi, pleaded guilty Friday to attempted firstdegree murder and aggravated robbery stemming from the shooting of a convenience store clerk in Pratt in March.

Two other charges were dropped. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 16.

Deaton is charged in Rankin County, Mississippi, with first-degree murder, auto theft, and drive-by shooting. He’s accused of strangling his girlfriend, stealing her car, and shooting a jogger in February.

He’s also suspected in the killing of a woman cleaning a church in Neshoba County, Mississippi.

He also allegedly carjacked a couple in New Mexico before fleeing to Kansas and shooting the clerk.

SYDNEY — Tesla announced on Friday it will build the world’s largest lithium-ion battery in southern Australia, part of a bid to solve an energy crisis that has led to ongoing blackouts across the region.

Tesla will partner with French renewable energy company Neoen to build the 100-megawatt battery farm in South Australia state, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk promising to deliver the system within 100 days of signing the contract or it will be free.

The billionaire entrepreneur originally made the 100-day pledge via Twitter in March, and he and South Australia’s government confirmed on Friday that the deadline was part of their oďŹƒcial agreement. “The system will be three times more powerful than any system on earth,â€? Musk told reporters in the state capital, Adelaide. “This is not like

a minor foray into the frontier — this is like going three times further than anyone’s gone before.�

South Australia, which relies heavily on solar and wind-generated energy, has been scrambling to find a way to bolster its fragile power grid since the entire state suered a blackout during a storm last year. Further blackouts plagued the state over the next few months.

The battery farm is part of a $420 million plan announced in March by South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill to make the state independent of the nation’s power grid.

The Australian Energy Market Operator, which manages the national grid, has warned of potential shortages of gas-fired electricity across southeast Australia by late next year. The shortage is looming as Australia is expected to soon overtake Qatar as the world’s

biggest exporter of liquid natural gas. Australia is also a major exporter of coal, which fires much of its electricity generation.

The South Australia

battery will deliver energy during peak usage hours to help maintain the state’s supply, and could power 30,000 homes, Tesla said.

Sisters’ lifelong rivalry escalates into silence DEAR ABBY: Our daughters aren’t speaking. One says she really doesn’t “like” the other.

These are mature women who have had their differences throughout their lives.

But they have tolerated each other, one Abigail more than other.

Van Buren theThe older one claims Dear Abby her sister posted notso-nice things about her. The younger one threatens not to attend any gatherings if her sister is there. This needs to be resolved before years go by and our family is torn apart.

They stopped speaking a month ago -- on their dad’s birthday yet. It was one of the worst days of our lives. We’re in our 80s, and I may never again see them together. The older one says she’s willing to go to counseling, but the younger refuses.

We’re desperate for a reconciliation. They don’t have to be best friends, just be civil and tolerate a holiday together for our sake. Please advise. -- HELPLESS AND SAD IN DALLAS DEAR HELPLESS AND SAD:

Unless both of your daughters are willing to accept counseling or mediation, they will not reconcile. For your younger daughter to resort to emotional blackmail (”if she’s there, I won’t be”) is despicable. Please do not give in to it. Tell her that if she decides to change her mind, she’s always welcome, and then proceed without her. You may be desperate for a reconciliation, but until your daughters are, it won’t happen and you will have to accept it.

DEAR ABBY: Recently I was listening to a couple talking about who and who not to invite to a wedding because seating was limited.

I’m wondering whether there would be anything wrong with sending out a letter stating that although they would like to invite everyone, seating is limited.

Explain that, of course, immediate family (parents, siblings and their spouses) would be invited without exception. However, the remaining seating would be on a “lottery” basis. If people accept the invitation, they would be in the lottery and then notified of the results. Is this acceptable? I think it would solve a lot of problems. Just wondering. -- JUST A THOUGHT IN OHIO DEAR JUST A THOUGHT: If I were you, I would forget this

concept. Depending upon the size of the guest list, I strongly suspect it would offend anyone who didn’t “win” the lottery.

DEAR ABBY: I sometimes have social anxiety. I would like to go out with friends and acquaintances, but I worry I won’t have enough to talk about or won’t know what to say, and it makes me nervous. Do you have any advice? -- LONER IN ILLINOIS DEAR LONER: Almost everyone has social anxiety to some extent. If your only worry is that you won’t have enough to talk about, don’t let it stop you.

Most people like to talk about themselves and will appreciate a good listener.

If you would like to bring up topics, listen to the news or read your newspaper and jot down a few topics. If your level of anxiety is so high that you cannot interact with others, then it’s time to discuss it with your physician and ask for a referral to someone who can give you medical and psychological help.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Letting go of the things you don’t want will make you lighter, but not wiser. It’s too easy. Let go of the things you’re afraid to lose, however, and you’ll be wiser, stronger and lighter all at once.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Though the turbulence of life is a natural force that sometimes can’t be avoided, it can be ridden out with varying degrees of grace. The trick is not to resist -- and not to go limp, either. Remain flexible and aware.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Chasing isn’t always the best way to catch things. There are plenty of things that can be caught by sitting still and pretty as a trap or by dancing like a lovely lure.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What works for the mind will work for the body today, and the opposite will also be true. The way to health and well-being is in good communication with your body. Ask what it needs.

Invite it to make requests.

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

sponsive devotion is the call of the day. Your reaction will be swift, automatic and most telling.

You may in fact be surprised by what or whom you are devoted to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The planets revolve around the sun. The waters run to the sea.

And you let the gravity of your own attractions pull you. It is the natural order of things and futile to resist.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you must err, do so on the sign of vigilance and responsibility. This is a time to weigh your words, remain consistent in your message and tone, and above all respect the ripple effect of your actions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You need to express yourself, but you’re not sure to whom.

This is the choice that will hold sway over your destiny. When in doubt, tell it to the diary first.

Discretion can be undone with a few words. The opposite cannot happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). What’s next? That’s a good question, but not one that leads to a lot of fun. To get the fullness and richness of your day, don’t ask, “What’s next?” Ask, “What’s now?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Give individual attention.

Though you may not be able to deliver what’s needed for the glory of the team, you will be able to serve the very specific needs of individual members, including yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Things are unbalanced in your life now; it’s true. Yet there is no need for an extreme move. The redistribution of energies will happen naturally. The equilibrium is being established through subtle persuasions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Just as tattoos are difficult to remove from the body, it can be challenging and painful to get rid of ideas and designs that have been imprinted strongly on your mind. Both are possible, though, and the clarity may be worth it now.

New Tishomingo County head football coach Ray Weeks in his new office in the Braves fieldhouse.

Ray Weeks: From the Delta to Hill country

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Meet new Tishomingo County head football coach Ray Weeks.

His story is quite unique and has involved some unexpected twists and turns that have ultimately led him to where he is now. They say that every person travels a certain path to get where they’re going with a little luck mixed in.

Weeks’ story certainly embodies those elements.

Ray Weeks was born and raised in the small town of Ruleville, Mississippi, a sleepy little community in Sunflower county that also houses Indianola in the Mississippi Delta.

Weeks attended North Sunflower High School where he played tailback for the Rebels in the 1980s. Football wasn’t just something to do for kicks in Ruleville: it was a way of life.

“Football has always been king in the Delta,” Weeks said in a recent interview in his new digs inside the Braves fieldhouse in Iuka. “It’s what everyone did. Every Friday night everyone was at the game. If you didn’t play you were in the stands.”

Weeks learned to love the ‘game’ of football at an early age and said by the time he was a sophomore he knew he wanted to go into coaching as a career.

“Yeah I knew early on that coaching is what I really wanted to do,” he said. “And I was able to learn from some really successful and knowledgeable coaches. Those men taught me how to be successful and do things right.”

During his high school career is also the time Weeks developed a deep love and appreciation of the triple option offense.

“When I was playing most all the high schools around

Weeks enjoying his new domain in Braves country. were running it (triple option),” Weeks remembered.

“We ran the split-back veer when I played and the two offenses are closely kin.”

The new Braves skipper played for two coaches during his time at North Sunflower who brought a lot of football experience and knowledge to the table and he soaked it all in.

“My first three years I played for coach Ronnie Coleman who was Rocky Felker’s backup at Mississippi State,” he said. “My senior year coach Jim Duncan came in and he had played professionally for the Green Bay Packers. I was able to learn a lot from those two men that helped establish my foundation for coaching.”

After high school Weeks headed up the road to attend college at Delta State.

Although he didn’t play for the Statesmen he earned his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education. He also met and married his wife Stephanie and their daughter Lauren came along shortly thereafter.

Coach Weeks proved that to be a successful head coach it’s not essential to play college ball.

“Coach (Lou) Holtz proved that a long time ago and there are many other highprofile coaches that never played at the collegiate level,” he stated.

In an interesting side note, he and his wife both attended the same high school but

didn’t have their first date until both were at DSU. “She was a little younger than me but we did know one another from high school.

We just never dated til we were at Delta State together.”

Weeks’ first coaching position was as an assistant at Class AA Bayou Academy in Cleveland, Mississippi where he taught history.

During his time there Bayou made two appearances in the state championship game where they won one and lost one.

After five and a half years as an assistant Weeks landed his first head coaching job after receiving a phone call from another former assisPlease see WEEKS | 11A

Federer, Djokovic wonder ‘can Wimbledon courts improve?’

The Associated Press

LONDON — With a week still to go, Wimbledon’s grass courts already are not the lush lawns players — and TV viewers — are accustomed to seeing early in the tournament.

Novak Djokovic noticed the ball bouncing differently in some patches.

Roger Federer and his opponent slipped during their third-round match.

The two past champions are wondering what sort of work can be done on the middle Sunday, when there is no competition, so the court conditions improve when action resumes with all 16 fourth-round singles matches scheduled for Monday.

“The first two matches I didn’t see any significant difference. But I was hearing a lot of comments from the other players. They were complaining. Especially on the outside courts,” Djokovic said after beating Ernests Gulbis in straight sets at Centre Court on Saturday.

“Today, I could see there is a difference in grass, in (the) turf itself. It was a bit softer, I would say, especially around a couple of feet inside and outside, around the baseline area,” said Djokovic, a three-time champion at the All England Club. “I haven’t had that kind of experience before in Wimbledon, to be honest. I mean, the courts are always perfect here.”

Federer followed Djokovic on Centre Court and described it as “a tad slippery” after losing his footing during one point in a victory over Mischa Zverev, who also took a tumble.

“But I didn’t feel like it was unsafe,” said Federer, who has won seven of his record 18 major titles at Wimbledon.

“Maybe you don’t want players to feel that way, because the moment you become scared of moving properly, it’s really difficult to play, I must admit. The last thing we want to see is horrible injuries.”

Some players voiced concerns about the court conditions over the opening week, including Kristina Mlad-

enovic of France and Alison Riske of the United States, who each fell early during their second-round match on Court 18 on Thursday.

Riske, who won the match, said afterward that the dirt “is like ice.”

Measurements taken throughout Wimbledon’s first week show the grass courts are as healthy as they have been in recent years, according to Neil Stubley, the head of courts and horticulture at the All England Club.

“We looked at the baselines and the areas that they thought there was an issue,” Stubley said. “We didn’t feel there was. The Grand Slam Please see IMPROVE | 11A

tant and friend at Bayou Academy.

“Coach Pete Lewis had been an assistant with me in Cleveland and had taken the head masters job at Leake Academy in Madden, Mississippi,” he stated. “He offered me the head coaching job and of course I accepted.”

“I was very nervous with it being my first venture into being the head man. When you’re an assistant you do what the head coach ask you to do and you’re not responsible for anyone else’s job.

But when you become the head coach it’s all on you.”

Although nervous Weeks had some underlying confidence knowing he had learned from some really good coaches and felt he was ready to make the step up.

“Leake was a huge basketball school but their football team hadn’t been to the playoffs for 17 years when I arrived,” he continued. “In my first year there we went 7-3 and made the playoffs. I was there for four years and we made the postseason three times.”

The Rebels also posted winning records every year under coach Weeks.

He and his family next headed to Heritage Academy in Columbus, a program- unlike Leake Academy- that had enjoyed some fair success.

It was a solid program and Weeks built on that.

It was also during his stint in Columbus that he made the decision to ultimately make the triple option his true offense.

“We had run it (triple option) in some form at every school I had been at until then,” Weeks said. “But it was coach Mark Hudspeth who encouraged me to go all-in with it while I was there.

Coach Hudspeth (now head coach at LouisianaLafayette) was at Winston Academy then and I really respected his opinion.”

Running the pure triple-option and flex-bone the Patriots played for the Class AAA state title during Weeks’ very first year at the helm. They fell just short as they lost to Centerville Academy.

Weeks then took a two-year sabbatical from being a head coach and became the defensive coordinator at Aberdeen under head coach Andy Stevens.

“I didn’t consider it a step back,” said Weeks.

“In fact I was looking forward to coaching on the public school side. The speed of the game is faster and quicker compared to the private school sector.

We were playing teams like Noxubee County and Amory so it was a bit different.”

Weeks was allowed to have full authority over the Bulldogs defense during his two-year stay. And after going winless the year prior to his arrival Aberdeen qualified for the playoffs both years.

Then came the job the Ruleville native is best known for.

“The Hamilton job had come open and coach Stevens told me that he would hate to lose me but that it might be a good opportunity for me to transition back to being a head coach.”

Weeks spent 11 successful seasons at the small Monroe county school taking the Lions to seven playoff appearances. Although Hamilton had a proud and successful past they had been mired in mediocrity for several years prior to Weeks’ arrival.

“People forget that Hamilton had a thenrecord 51-game winning streak back in the 80s

under Don Smith,” he pointed out. “Caledoniaa larger school- finally broke that streak but after that loss they (Hamilton) went on to reel off 30 more wins in a row.

So erase the Caledonia game and they won like 81 straight. That’s pretty special.”

“But they had been thru some lean years when I came in. Our team motto during our first year was ‘restore the roar’ (a reference to their Lions tradition),” Weeks lamented.

“We won just a single game that year but we were also laying the foundation for future success.

The division we played in was what I referred to as the SEC West. Teams like Bruce, Ackerman and Water Valley made it one of the toughest 1A divisions in the entire state.”

After a successful 11year stay at Hamilton Weeks got out of coaching temporarily as he took the junior high principal’s job at Nettleton.

“While I was at Aberdeen I had received my masters degree in administration from the University of West Alabama because I knew I eventually wanted to get into administration and being a principal.”

Things were rosy for the Weeks family as they had settled into the Nettleton community and their grandson Baylor was attending pre-school next door. Then one day- with no intentions of leaving his job in Lee county- Weeks was on his office computer scrolling thru the openings for coaching jobs around the state and came across the Tishomingo County post.

“I wasn’t looking for a job,” he said. “I just looked occasionally to see where some of my old coaching buddies were going and the Tish job just popped up. To be honest about it I credit the whole thing to the man upstairs.”

“God moves in mysterious ways.”

After former Braves coach Preston Leathers had accepted a position at a school in south Mississippi Tishomingo County found the man they were looking for in coach Ray Weeks. He interviewed during spring break and was called in for a second and final interview a short time later where he was offered the position that he ultimately accepted.

“My wife and I drove around the area and talked after that second interview and finally decided this was where we wanted to be,” said the new TC coach. “This is a great school with fantastic facilities and it’s a great part of Mississippi to live in.”

So Weeks begins his journey at Tishomingo County High School with a real goal of getting the Braves to the playoffs sooner than later.

“Yes I believe making the playoffs is a legitimate goal for us this season,” he said.

“If you look at my history of taking over programs that have been struggling it just seems to be my niche. The kids have bought in and if they keep working hard and adopt the attitude of expecting to win then I believe we can be in the playoffs at the end of this season.”

From tiny Ruleville, Mississippi in the Mississippi Delta to 4A Tishomingo County the road for Weeks and his family has been filled with unique twists and turns: not to mention an unexpected entry back into head coaching now.

But coach Ray Weeks has been on this road before and Braves fans can rest assured their team is in capable hands.

supervisor and assistant referee didn’t believe that there was either. When you look at the comparisons of other courts ... they were in or around the same condition as the other courts.”

Very little rain has fallen over the first six days of the tournament, which Stubley said led to more wear on the courts.

Still, although he acknowledged the courts are under stress, he said there’s “not a doubt” they will hold up throughout Wimbledon’s second week. “Because we have daily monitoring, we can keep a very tight rein on everything,” he said. “It never gets to the point where it’s ever going to get away from us because we’re on top of it every single day.”

Still, Djokovic was sure that something wasn’t quite the same as in the past.

“I’m sure they know what they’re doing. They know their job the best in the world. But you can see that there is a slight difference in the quality of the grass,” he said.

“This year seems like it’s a bit softer.”

Noted Federer: “They have time to figure out how they’re going to prep (the courts) for Monday.”

New mayor is ready to serve Booneville

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com

M

ore than twenty years ago a young soldier returned home from war with a promise to serve his community.

Chris Lindley and his fellow National Guardsmen had deployed for Operation Desert Storm knowing they might never again see their hometown.

As he returned safely home to Booneville from the Middle East, he pulled over on the side of the road and placed his hand on the same city limit sign he had watched recede into the distance as he left to face the unknown all those months before.

“I promised myself 20 something years ago, one of these days I’m going to do something for my community. I served my country and now I’m going to serve my community,” he said.

Last week Lindley began making good on that long ago promise as he took the oath as Booneville’s new mayor.

A successful small businessman, former election commissioner, father of two and lifelong resident of Booneville and Prentiss County, Lindley believes the city’s best days lie ahead and he’s determined to join with his fellow officials and the community to move the city forward.

The new mayor developed his passion for family and community watching his father, Johnny Lindley, build the family business, Lindley Pest Control, and a reputation for honesty and integrity that led him to serve as an election commissioner.

Lindley said his dad passed along to him advice first given by his grandfather about the value of a good reputation, how hard it is to build and how quickly it can be lost.

“You can do one thing and mess it up for life. His daddy worked hard, my dad and I’ve worked hard to keep it a good honest name,” he said.

Lindley attended Booneville, Marietta, Wheeler and New Site schools before graduating from New Site.

Staff photo by Brant Sappington

New Booneville Mayor Chris Lindley, pictured with his wife, Sherry Lindley, is excited about the future of the City of Hospitality.

At the age of 17 he enlisted in the National Guard and, after serving in Desert Storm, returned home to marry his wife, Sherry, and begin working as a mechanic at Howard Davidson Chevrolet.

He later became manager of Havoline Express Lube, before leaving to join the Booneville Fire Department.

While working as a firefighter he got back into the pest control business again. Around the same time his father restarted the family business and when it grew enough to pay two people full-time he joined his dad in the business he continues to run today.

As a lifelong worker with experience as both a city employee and a small business owner, he understands the challenges facing the families of Booneville.

“I know how hard it is to make ends meet,” he said.

He’s committed to making Booneville a better place to live, work and raise a family.

During the campaign he spent time visiting with residents throughout the city and listening to their concerns.

“I really gained a lot of insight as I was knocking on doors. Pretty much it was my same concerns,” he said.

Number one on everyone’s list was the availability of jobs, he said.

He has met with the Prentiss County Development Association and other local officials to discuss the city’s empty industrial buildings and what can be done to make them more marketable.

He said most of the existing buildings don’t meet the requirements modern industrial employers are looking for, but there are options including renovating those buildings or possibly even building a new facility that could be marketed, but all of those things cost money and he said it’s vital the proper research be done before taking any action.

This type of measured response is heard time and time again from Lindley who said he believes in taking things slow and making sure all information is in hand and all angles have been considered before making any decision that will effect the city and its citizens.

He said it’s important

to take a serious look at the city’s strengths including excellent schools, parks and recreation, healthcare and more and look at ways to capitalize on the assets already in place.

The new mayor believes the recently approved tourism tax has the potential to bring major benefits to the city.

“The tourism tax is a shot in the arm. It’s going to help in so many ways,” he said.

While there have already been discussions about potential projects revenue from the tax could be used for, he advocates a slow and steady approach to tapping the new funds. He said he’d like to see six months to a year of actual revenue from the tax before any major decisions on spending are made or any major project is taken on.

Other major issues he’s concerned about include what to do about housing city inmates. The Prentiss County Justice Center struggles with overcrowding and decisions will have to be made about how to house inmates in the future. The city currently pays approximately $162,000 per year

for rental of the space at the justice center used by the police department and the housing of city inmates.

Lindley said he’s been told they need to be able to house 40-60 city inmates. Research needs to be done on whether an expansion of the existing facility in conjunction with the county would be the best move or if the city should consider building its own jail facility in the future, he said.

He emphasized the need for further research and discussion among all parties involved before any decisions are made.

He also wants to see a resolution to the current inquiry by the Mississippi Public Service Commission into the rates charged by the city for natural gas service. He said he believes the city is in compliance with the last order issued by the PSC regarding the system and he wants to see the current inquiry settled soon so the city can move forward.

Lindley said as a small business owner, the best advice he’s received about his new role is a reminder that making things happen in government takes

time and requires a great deal of collaboration.

“Remember that you cannot run the city like a business,” he said.

As the owner of his own business, he can make decisions and see changes and improvements happen quickly. While there are so many things he wants to see happen for Booneville, he understands the wheels of government turn slow and it will take a lot of hard work and a lot of time to see things change.

The new mayor is committed to giving 100 percent to the city he now leads. He said he has hired additional personnel for his pest control business that will free him up to work full time for Booneville.

He said he will be accessible and transparent and he wants the public to know they can come to him any time with their ideas or concerns and he will do his best to let the community know what’s going on with their tax dollars and their government.

“I know there is going to be a big learning curve, but I’m looking forward to doing something great for the city,” he said.

Vacation in a new country contains learning and surprise Traveling to a new city is an adventure.

Traveling to a new country, though, is an exotic adventure, although sometimes harrowing.

L a s t week, Stacy v i s i t e dI Jones two cities in Canada The Dowtowner for the first time and experienced the exoticism— accompanied by a little distress.

QuébecCity, situated on the St. Lawrence River, is the capital city of the French-speaking province of Québec. Founded in 1608, it is one of the oldest settlements in North America. The Lonely Planet travel website hails it as “the soul of the province,” with its “fierce grip on French Canadian identity,” as opposed to the more metropolitan, commercial city of Montreal, the other city in the province we visited.

The city is full of cobblestone streets; mansardroofed houses that hail from the 17th and 18th centuries; and the famed Chateau Frontenac, a

Gothic-looking building flanked with spires and touted as the world’s most-photographed hotel, as it sits atop the cliff of Cap Diamont above the St. Lawrence River.

Our first day we had ventured into the lower part of the city, the Basse Ville, peopled more by locals but later spent most of our time in the cobblestones of the Haute Ville, the touristy upper Old Town near our hotel.

We stayed from Saturday night until Tuesday afternoon at L’Hotel du Capitole, boutique lodging housed in a building with the Beaux-Arts style Au ThéâtreCapitole and The Ristorante Il Teatro, an Italian eatery with indoor and outdoor seating.

A rendition of “Saturday Night Fever” was showing at the theatre housed in our hotel building, but since neither my friend Tom nor I spoke fluent French, we figured it might not be worth our time.

It was delightful to hear people greet us with “Bonjour,” the French pleasantry for “hello” or “good day.”

Somehow French sounds so much more eloquent than English.

The initial greeting was

QuébecCity, situated on the St. Lawrence River, is the capital city of the French-speaking province of Québec. Founded in 1608, it is one of the oldest settlements in North America. The Lonely Planet travel website hails it as “the soul of the province,” with its “fierce grip on French Canadian identity,” as opposed to the more metropolitan, commercial city of Montreal, the other city in the province we visited. followed by “Français ou Anglais?” asking us to specify our selected language of communication, as most everyone speaks both French and English fairly fluently, unlike in the United States, where many of us are, sadly, monolingual.

Simply venturing to restaurants forged a learning experience.

We ate our first meal, a brunch, around the corner from the hotel at a café called Bistro L’Accent that offered in its dishes two items of which I had never heard: Emmental cheese and cretons.

Emmental is a type of cheese produced in the cantons of Switzerland

and featuring a nutty, buttery flavor.

Cretons are a forcemeat-style (think pureed like pâté) pork containing onions and spices, a Canadian delicacy.

On Monday we had a unique experience dining at L’Parliamentaire, the restaurant inside the Parliament building.

A visit there dictated a stop through security to remove contents of our pockets, after which we received yellow badges that said “Visiteur,” noting our visitor status and requiring us to attach them to our clothing.

Before leaving QuébecCity on Tuesday, we lunched at Ristorante Il

Teatro in the hotel and then obtained an Uber to take us to the train station for the three-hour ride to Montreal, where we would stay until Saturday.

For the uninitiated, Uber is essentially a company that contracts with individuals to use their vehicles as taxis.

In my excitement to get to the train station and simultaneously haul my luggage, which included my personal carry-on, my small purse (inside which my wallet would not fit), my travel pillow, and a plastic bag carrying a Québechoodie I had purchased, I made a dire mistake.

On other days, I had been carrying my wallet, with its vinyl strap attached to my belt and tucked neatly into my pocket.

On this particular day, I carried it with the strap around my wrist.

However, when we arrived at the train station and unloaded everything onto one of the wooden benches, my wallet was not there. My passport was inside my purse, but that wallet containing my driver’s license, a debit card, two credit cards, my health insurance cards, and between $400 and

$500 Canadian dollars was nowhere to be found.

I panicked. Tom instructed me to wait at the station with our luggage while he took a taxi back to the hotel.

He would check the lobby where we waited after checkout on the Uber driver to arrive, as well as the restroom I had visited before leaving the restaurant, to see if I had left my wallet in either of those places.

I reached the Uber driver via the corresponding app, and in his unpolished English, he said, “No, it is not here.” I hung up in despair. As I waited, I shuffled through my belongings, ironically to the tune of Bobby McFerrin’s 1988 reggae-influenced a Capellahit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” playing over the loudspeaker.

(Next week’s column will reveal the outcome of my loss as I journeyed to Montreal…)
