CSD approves office raises BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth School District administrative office employees, including Superintendent Lee Childress, received a raise this week. “It is my recommendation that we vote for a 4 percent raise across the board. The economy is turning around and we’ve got the cash,” said board member Frank Davis.

“I think these raises show that we want to continue to retain the best people we can attract.” The Board of Trustees voted to to provide non-certified, central office employee positions a 4 percent raise for the 2014-15 school year. These positions received a 3 percent increase last year. The raise includes a 4 percent salary increase for Childress.

The board also voted to give hourly wage employees a 25 cent per hour raise, while district bus drivers will receive a $200 raise. Certified and non-certified substitute teachers will receive a $3 raise each. “Certified substitutes will now receive $65 per day, while nonPlease see RAISES | 2

Guild donates pillowcases to Pine Vale BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Pine Vale Children’s Home is now bursting with color. The Cross City Piecemakers Quilt Guild presented the home with 33 pillowcases on Monday afternoon. “We are always looking to get bed linens for the children,” said children’s home director Tommy Baragona. “These will put lots of color in their rooms.” The home, located on County Road 700 in Wenasoga, currently is home to 18 children. “That number changes from one day to the next,” added Baragona. Members of the quilt guild set a goal of making 30 pillowcases for children at the home. “We set out to make a colorful variety so children could have a choice,” said incoming club president Gail Stables. “The pillowcases give them something of their own.” In the past, the quilters have made blankets for the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department to pass out to families who have been effected by a tragedy. The group has also made items for Oasis Medical Center. The guild is open to future

OXFORD — Hard work, discipline and determination have paid off for Megan Lindsey Smith. The Corinth native was recently among 70 University of Mississippi students to receive the coveted Marcus Elvis Taylor Memorial Medal. Established at UM in 1904 by Dr. William A. Taylor of Booneville, the Taylor Medals recognize no more than one percent of the student body each year. They were created in loving memory of Taylor’s son, an honored 1971 alumnus of the university. “The Taylor Medal is the highest academic honor a student can receive at the University of Mississippi, and we are very proud of our students who work so hard to earn it,” said Director of Public Relations Danny Blanton. “These students exemplify the characteristics of academic excellence and leadership that have become synonymous with Ole Miss.”

Musgrove seeking support for lawsuit The Associated Press

JACKSON — A group of lawyers including former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove is traveling around Mississippi trying to get school districts to sign up for lawsuits against the state seeking payment of the $1.5 billion that the state had underfunded its K-12 school formula since fiscal 2010. Backers of a separate effort to write a full-funding requirement into the state Constitution are pushing against the proposed suits, saying they could blow a hole in the state’s budget, anger lawmakers and give lawyers too much of the money if they won. They argue a constitutional guarantee of future adequate funding is better. A spokesman for Musgrove declined comment. As lieutenant governor in 1997, Democrat Musgrove helped steer the

Mississippi Adequate Education Program into law over the veto of Republican Gov. Kirk Fordice. It appears only a handful of districts have signed up so far for lawsuits, although presentations have been made to many school boards. There’s no class-action status, so individual districts must sue. Okolona Superintendent Dexter Green said his northeast Mississippi district signed up because it’s struggling to maintain buildings and buses and can’t afford to hire any new employees. “Our students in our school district are suffering,” Green said Monday. There is precedent for suing. Mississippi has pumped more than $350 million into three historically black public universities since it settled the Ayers federal discrimination lawsuit in 2004.

Brook Shoup also resigned as a teacher assistant at Corinth Elementary School. “These are all resignations we already knew about,” said Superintendent Lee Childress. “Some are taking employment elsewhere, while others are taking other positions within the district.” The retirement of long time bus driver Herman Wilbanks was also approved. The board approved the hiring of six employees at CHS.

Those included Bruce Gentry as English teacher, Trevor Montgomery as special education teacher, Kelly Wright as special education teacher, Rob Scarbrough as head slow pitch softball coach, Peggy Brewer as janitor and Sara Beth Alexander as extended year substitute. Six employees were approved for hiring at CMS. Those taking new positions will include Jordan Watts as history teacher, Jamie Hardin as ICT2 teacher, Jennifer Johnson as math teacher and Jennifer McCoy and Annie Windom as extended year substitute. The board also approved the hiring of Benjamin Hargrove and Wayne Sanders as new district bus drivers.

certified substitute teachers will receive $61 per day,” said Childress.

In other business: ■ Childress warned the board of the possibility of having to hire a second pre-kindergarten teacher. “We are close to the maximum of 25 students per class room,” said the superintendent. “We always pick up some new enrollees the closer we get to the start of school.” Childress said current enrollment is more than 2,700 chil-

dren, which is an increase compared to last year at this time. The board also voted to hire Adrienne Simmons as pre-k teacher and Emily Davis as prek teacher assistant for Corinth Elementary School. ■ The board accepted two grant awarding to fund the hiring of two additional school nurses with one each at Corinth Elementary School and Corinth Middle School. “This is much needed as we have only ever had one nurse per school,” said Childress. The Mississippi Department of Education School Nurse Intervention program will provide a $50,000 yearly salary

for each new nurse position. ■ The board appointed Childress and attorney Bill Davis to collaborate on handbook changes for all three district schools. According to Childress, the handbooks deserve some attention and need to be reviewed. Davis said some areas of the handbooks include unnecessary words or sentences. “I’m not talking about rewriting policies, just clarifying certain areas to make it easier to understand,” added Davis. The two will provide revision recommendations to the board at the next meeting.

MISSISSIPPI STATE — Who knew Mississippi corn growers should worry about bears? The bears are not in the fields eating the crop; they are in the market, eating the profits. When economists refer to a bear market, they are talking about declining stock prices over a prolonged period, usually a 20 percent or larger decline. Brian Williams, agricultural economist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said several factors have pushed corn prices down in recent weeks. “The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s planted acreage report, which was released June 30, did not help the corn market,” he said. “Then, the quarterly grain stocks report came out the same day indicating more corn in storage than anticipated. A week later, the world agricultural supply and demand estimates report suggested a drop in feed use and higher ending stocks. Those two reports really made prices tumble.” Williams said December corn futures went from $4.47 per bushel on June 29 to $3.88 per bushel in just over two weeks. A year ago, national (futures) were trading around $5.27 per bushel. “Another driver is the crop condition, released by USDA every Monday. Both Mississippi and the national crops are in very good condition. Currently, they are projecting the second largest crop nationally, just behind last year’s record,” he said. The prospect of a second consecutive year of record or near record production could hurt growers who did not sell a portion of their crops early in the growing season.

“Rust is a bit of an issue, but we hope the corn will outrun the extent of that injury.” Erick Larson Corn specialist Williams said there are 3.7 million fewer corn acres nationally. Soybeans are up 8.3 million acres, but soybean prices also are tumbling in anticipation of record crop this year. “Corn and soybean prices tend to mirror each other,” he said. Erick Larson, state Extension corn specialist, said the crop is looking generally good across most of Mississippi despite excessive rains during parts of the season. “Rains during planting season delayed or restricted acreage in some areas with extremely cool or wet conditions in March and April,” Larson said. “Fields got a little dry in May to help overall crop prospects by allowing growers to get timely nitrogen and herbicide applications. Then conditions turned extremely wet in June in many areas causing some negative impacts, such as stunted growth, from soil saturation.” Larson said he does not anticipate problems from cooler temperatures. “Cooler temperatures should be very beneficial, especially if they persist for some time. Moderate nighttime temperatures are good for most of the crops we grow,” he said. “Below 72 in July is great news.” Larson said southern rust has been detected in southeast Mississippi fields and has traveled in

the wind up the eastern side of the state. “Rust is a bit of an issue, but we hope the corn will outrun the extent of that injury,” he said. “As plants approach physiological maturity, we might see rust increase in later planted fields in the northeast part of the state.” Dennis Reginelli, an Extension area agronomic crop agent, said growers have been watching isolated hot spots in Noxubee County since just after the Fourth of July. “Growers are judging the maturity of the corn and the amount of rust to determine if treatments are necessary,” Reginelli said. “They are making field-to-field evaluations to determine if spray is needed based on maturity. Some fields can outrun the disease.” Reginelli said growers are treating fields for rust if rain or irrigation is likely to spread the spores. Tom Allen, Extension plant pathologist, said Diplodia ear rot and, to a lesser extent, some other ear rots also have been observed in scattered fields. “Ear rots are normal when we have extended periods of rainfall during pollination since the fungi that cause those can easily enter the ear during rain or periods of extended dew,” Allen said. “Fungicides are not beneficial since application practices that rely on aerial applications would not be able to provide a fungicide at the point of infection.” Allen said once the fungus has started to rot the ear, a fungicide would likely not arrest fungal development. “Farmers should scout fields and focus on ear leaves that appear prematurely dried down or dead and observe corn ears for the presence of a white fungus growing on the ear itself,” he said.

Across the Region Prentiss loosens cell phone policy BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County students will have a little more freedom regarding the possession of cell phones this fall under changes approved to the district’s student handbook. School board members agreed to allow students to have phones in their possession on district campuses, though they are still not allowed to use the devices during school hours. The previous policy prohibited the possession of the phones. The revised policy adds the words “in use” to the prohibition, clarifying that simply possessing a phone is not a violation. The penalties in the policy remain the same, stating if a student is found to be using a phone it will be confiscated and only returned after a parent pays a $25 fine. The revision was one of a number of adjustments to the handbook requested by principals during their annual summer meeting. District Curriculum Coordinator Kim Hamm, who presented the revised handbook to the board, said she believes the move is a step in the right direction to make the policy more realistic.

Fish plant explosion kills one, injures 3 The Associated Press

MOSS POINT — One person was killed and three others were injured in an explosion Monday at a fish processing plant on the Mississippi coast. Omega Protein spokesman Ben Landry said it happened about 9:30 a.m. while employees of a subcontractor were working on two storage tanks. “One tank exploded and we have one fatality and three injuries, one of which we think is severe,” Landry said. Jackson County Coroner Vicki Broadus identified the dead worker as Jerry Lee Taylor II, 25, of Mobile, Alabama. Broadus said an autopsy will be conducted. Identities of the injured were not immediately released. Authorities said the three injured workers were taken to Singing River Hospital where their conditions were not known. Landry said the company expected to release a more detailed statement later Monday. “We’re still getting details on what happened. Our investigative team and the local fire department will be working on this. The plant will be closed for the next two days while we aid in the investigation,” he said. Moss Point Fire Chief Tommy Posey told reporters at the scene there was no fire after the explosion. Omega Protein operates a menhaden — or pogy — fishing fleet with a processing plant and adjacent shipyard in Moss Point. The company produces fish oils and fish meal

for human consumption and use in aquaculture, agriculture and industrial applications. The plant and its adjacent shipyard employ about 300 people. There’s work year-round, although it picks up during Menhaden fishing season, which runs from mid-April until the first of November. The company has processing plants in four states and is based in Houston. The Moss Point plant has had some safety issues in the past. In April, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined the Moss Point plant $3,341 over violations of sanitation rules and failure to provide proper machine protection. In 2012, an Omega Protein worker was killed in an accident that federal investigators have since said was avoidable. Christopher Hebert, 24, of Moss Point, had worked at the plant for three years. He was killed when he was caught in a rotating screw conveyor. OSHA initially cited Omega for 25 violations after the fatality. That was reduced to 22 violations and a fine of $50,000 against the non-union plant. Omega was cited for multiple issues, including failure to make sure machinery was properly locked down when it was being worked on and failure to properly secure floor and wall openings. In May 2011, three men were killed aboard an Omega Protein fishing boat called the Sandy Point, which collided with a 660-foot container ship in the Gulfport ship channel.

Black citizens want to have a say in election BY ROBERT J. WALKER Guest Columnist

During the June 2014 Republican Primary in Mississippi, black voters in the deep red state of Mississippi shocked the political world by helping Thad Cochran win the Republican Primary for Senator. Even though he held this seat for the past 36 years, no one had expected him to defeat Chris McDaniel in the runoff primary election. But, Thad Cochran did something that Republican politicians in the South usually never do -- he courted the black vote. During his 36 years of representing the State of Mississippi in the U.S. Senate, Cochran learned a valuable lesson that seems to have escaped many of the modern day Republicans -- that, just as the white citizens, black citizens of Mississippi also want to have a say in electing the person who will represent them. Blacks Voting in the Mississippi Republican Primary: Even though the vast majority of blacks in the South vote overwhelmingly Democratic, many church going African Americans living in the Deep South who faithfully vote Democrat, share many of the Republicans views on social issues such as: family values, opposition to gay marriage, abortion, and most recent concerns about immigration. Contrary to popular belief, blacks in the South vote their interest. When they perceive there is a threat to their liberty, they will come out and vote -- even if it means voting Republican. According to Joe Sanderson, Cochran’s finance chairman, black voters in Mississippi felt that the stakes were too high to sit on the sidelines during the Republican Primary. They came out and voted. Some even voted Republican for the first time in their lives. “I think they came out in masses,” Sanderson said. “I’ll be honest with you, I think some African-Americans came out to support him -- I don’t know that, I believe that -- because they did not want Chris McDaniel and the Tea Party to win.” Former Mississippi Congressman Chip Pickering after the Primary polls closed Tuesday night (June 24, 2014) in Mississippi, stated that the outcome of the race was a magnificent moment for Mississippi. He estimated that “somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 crossover (black) votes made the difference here.” Making a reference to the 1964 freedom Summer Civil Rights Movement, Pickering stated, “To see Thad win with the coalition he put together on the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer -- it’s great for the state. It’s great for the party. There was also a great concern that we didn’t want to see our state go backwards, as far as the reputation that we have, the progress that we’ve made. There was a concern that McDaniel would hurt the state.” After losing the race, in his speech on election night, Chris McDaniel spoke elegantly of, “liberty,” “freedom,” “traditional values,” “personal responsibility,” “a balanced budget,” “defending the constitution,” “civil liberties” and being “a people of faith.” He also stated, “The people of this state are the most incredible, loving, hospitable people I’ve ever been around.” These concepts, values and characteristics as expressed by McDaniel are not exclusive to just the white citizens of Mississippi -- but all the people of the State -- including those who are African Americans. In his fight to challenge the results of the election, Chris McDaniel, as did Thad Cochran, must come to realize that the black citizens of Mississippi, who compose 37% of the state’s population, also want to have a say in electing the person who will represent them -- even if that person is a member of the Republican or Tea Party. (Robert J. Walker is an educator and freelance writer, who was born, raised and educated in Mississippi. He currently lives in Walls.)

Political fireworks in Louisiana, Mississippi BY BRIAN SCHWANER Capitol Dome

NEW ORLEANS — The world is a politically tense place these days with hot spots ranging from the Middle East to Ukraine. In Louisiana and Mississippi, where the political chessboard tends to be a lot less threatening and at times entertaining, this election season is living up to expectations. Let’s start with the marquee match-up in Mississippi. Until the Republican primary, many analysts had expected few fireworks among races for the U.S. House and Senate. The state’s only Democrat in Congress, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, seemed secure, as did incumbent Republicans in Mississippi’s three other House districts. Then came June 3, when tea party-backed state Sen. Chris McDaniel rode a crest of anti-Washington sentiment to almost oust incumbent Republican Thad Cochran. An emboldened McDaniel let loose with a fiery speech to mobilize the troops. Cochran was a noshow on election night. The McDaniel camp sensed blood in the water. Cochran, in Congress since the 1970s, had never faced a major challenge.

Establishment Republicans went to work in an attempt to head off disaster. If you buy into McDaniel’s argument, the strategy involved luring Democratleaning black voters with a hefty dose of fear of the tea party. In Mississippi, voters don’t register by party. The law says if you vote in one party’s primary, you can’t vote in the other party’s runoff. The June 24 runoff showed Cochran winning by several thousand votes, and the McDaniel camp immediately cried foul. Cochran, they say, inappropriately went after Democrat-leaning voters and some — the campaign claims — may not have been eligible to vote in the runoff. McDaniel still hasn’t decided whether he will formally challenge the results, but he’s making a lot of noise. While it’s hard to say whether Cochran’s strategy crossed a legal line, the win was a personal payback. Weeks earlier, several top McDaniel tea party supporters went to a nursing home and allegedly took photos of Cochran’s infirm wife, Rose, without her permission. Authorities say the group intended to smear the senator. Across the Mississippi

River in neighboring Louisiana, election-season follies also are in full swing. In the state’s 5th Congressional District, incumbent Republican Vance McAllister says he will seek re-election. The “kissing congressman” has waffled on running after a leaked surveillance video showed him locking lips with a staff member at his Louisiana office. Both are married. McAllister apologized, then withdrew from public activity for a time to work things out with his family. As if there aren’t already enough clichés for attackad creators to build on, McAllister has drawn opposition from Republican Zach Dasher, a member of the “Duck Dynasty” TV family. The “Duck” folks took heat after patriarch Phil Robertson’s opposition to gay rights, which he said he bases in the Biblebelt values of Louisiana’s northeast parishes. Will the God-fearing give McAllister another chance, or vote for the “Duck” guy? Over in the Baton Rougecentered 6th Congressional District, there’s another comeback in play. Louisiana’s lovable rogue, former governor and convicted felon Edwin Edwards, is running as a Democrat for a seat being

vacated by Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy. Cassidy is running against incumbent Democrat U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu. The 87-year-old former governor spent eight years in federal prison on a gambling-related corruption conviction. He emerged in 2011 with a new view of life, took a new wife, fathered a child and appears concerned about his legacy in Louisiana’s political history. Clearly, the former governor wants to go out on a positive note and be remembered as a powerful political broker who wouldn’t quit. He’s making the political talk circuits and showing up to chat with the press, sounding like someone who wants to be elected. In the end, one wonders whether Louisiana will “vote for the crook” again, as it did in the 1991 governor’s race. That year there was so much fear that Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke might win that bumper stickers sprouted proclaiming “Vote for the Crook. It’s Important.” What’s more certain is a lively political fireworks show is in full swing in Louisiana and Mississippi. (Brian Schwaner is The Associated Press news editor for Louisiana and Mississippi.)

Fighting parasitic bureaucracies and crony capitalism “Pare down the parasitic fringe” of government. “Favor a gospel of work” instead of aristocratic entitlement. “Rationalize finance” and “reverse the Parkinson’s law of bureaucracy.” All that sounds like rhetoric from the Tea Party or reform conservatives who assail what they call crony capitalism. But it’s not a contemporary criticism. Those are phrases from a long essay, written more than half a century ago, by the British historian H. R. TrevorRoper, titled “The General Crisis of the Seventeenth Century.” In his plummy prose, Trevor-Roper sought to explain why revolutions or revolts of varying sorts broke out in the British Isles, France, Spain, Italy and Germany in the years between 1640 and 1660. He was especially eager to refute Marxist historians’ claims that these were the necessary predicate to what their master proclaimed would be the inevitable and beneficent communist revolutions that unaccountably had not yet occurred. Trevor-Roper argues that the growing nation-states of the 1500s built up large

bureaucracies that stifled trade and manufactures. The Counter-Reformation Catholic Church had a similar effect. These bureaucracies were particularly expensive because rulers gave their favorites “the right to exploit their fellow subjects,” with monopolies in particular commodities and grants of land they could profitably dispose of. Crony capitalism was squeezing out a potentially productive private sector. It’s not hard to see some resemblance to America today. The federal bureaucracy head count is not significantly larger than it was 50 years ago. But the federal impact is much greater, through entitlement programs, subcontracted welfare provisions and regulation that favors entrenched interests. Thus the Dodd-Frank Act gives favored financial institutions too-big-to-fail status that enables them to muscle aside potential competitors. The Export-Import Bank provides special favors to a few giant corporations. But there are few loans to startup businesses. Government subsidization of health care, even

before Obamacare, and of higher education creates huge dysfunctional bureaucracies that vacuum up supposed benefits to patients and students. Agricultural subsidies and price-fixing, “green energy” programs, laws such as the Jones Act and Davis-Bacon that restrict work to unionized firms -- all siphon off money and resources from the productive private sector to politically well-positioned special interests. Trevor-Roper points out that princely states and the Counter-Reformation Church proliferated “hatcheries which turned out the superfluous bureaucrats,” as many colleges and universities do today. After 1660, the nationstates that pared back bureaucracies and allowed room for such trading cities to operate -- England, Holland and, for a while, France -- flourished, while Spain, Italy and Germany mostly languished. Americans today, thanks to our federal system, have models available, too. Texas, with its low taxes and sensibly light regulation, has a booming multi-sector economy with high job cre-

ation. Fracking technology, on private lands not owned by the government, has increased oil and gas production far above levels government agencies and big corporations predicted. Reform conservatives have called for measures to help struggling Americans without political connections work their way up. And last week, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan unveiled a 73-page antipoverty agenda going beyond his previous tax cut and entitlement reform proposals. Such proposals are emerging without any institutional economically motivated base. It’s starting to look something like what Trevor-Roper saw in the 17th century: an “indeterminate, unpolitical, but highly sensitive miscellany of men” mutinying “against the vast, oppressive, everextending apparatus of parasitic bureaucracy.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst at the Washington Examiner, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a coauthor of The Almanac of American Politics.)

Boston tornado was modest EF-2 REVERE, Mass. -The National Weather Service says a tornado that landed just north of Boston was a relatively modest EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale of 0 to 5, but it damaged dozens of buildings. Revere Mayor Daniel Rizzo says 65 homes and businesses were damaged and 13 are uninhabitable. About 2,800 residences are without power. The city has opened a temporary shelter at a middle school. The tornado caused no major injuries or deaths. The weather service says it had maximum wind gusts of 100 to 120 mph and carved a path of about 2 miles through the coastal city of 50,000 residents. The tornado touched down at 9:32 a.m. near the Chelsea-Revere line. Â

Report: Medicare all right until 2030 WASHINGTON -- Medicareâ€™s financial future is looking brighter despite a growing wave of baby boomers reaching retirement. Getting relief from a slowdown in health care spending, the programâ€™s giant hospital trust fund wonâ€™t be exhausted until 2030, the government said Monday. Thatâ€™s four years later than last yearâ€™s estimate. As for Social Security, its massive retirement program will remain solvent until 2034, although disability benefits are in more immediate danger. The disability trust fund now is projected to run dry in just two years. At that point, unless Con-

gress acts, the program will collect only enough payroll taxes to pay 81 percent of benefits. Trustees issued their annual report Monday on the financial health of the governmentâ€™s two largest benefit programs, which together accounted for 41 percent of all federal spending last year. Though both are â€œfundamentally secure,â€? said Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, â€œThe reports also remind us of something we all understand: We must reform these programs if we want to keep them sound for future generations.â€?

Obama emotional about child leaving WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is practically weepy at the thought of his daughter Malia going off to college, a milestone many months away that is already on his mind. Malia barely reached up to her fatherâ€™s shoulders when they moved to the White House nearly six years ago with her mother, little sister and grandmother. At 16, she stands nearly as tall as her 6-foot-1 dad and is visiting college campuses in preparation for that bittersweet day in the fall of 2016 when she trades her White House bedroom for a dorm. She has been seen touring the University of California at Berkeley and the Palo Alto, California, campus of Stanford, where another presidentâ€™s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, attended college. In a commencement address to high school graduates in Worcester, Massachusetts, Obama said heâ€™s practicing for

Boseman starring in another biopic NEW YORK -- A year after playing Jackie Robinson in â€œ42,â€? Chadwick Boseman was back in biopic spring training. To become James Brown for the film â€œGet on Up,â€? Boseman needed to rely on an entirely different skill set. But the preparation necessary to transform into a tireless performer like Brown â€” â€œthe hardest working man in show business,â€? after all â€” was oddly reminiscent of working out on the baseball diamond. â€œI was like, â€˜This is deja vu,â€™â€? says Boseman. â€œIâ€™m waking up in the morning and lacing them up. Doesnâ€™t matter whether itâ€™s cleats or if itâ€™s leather shoes.â€? For the second time, Boseman has stepped into some very big ones. A largely unknown actor previously, the 32-year-old Boseman has emerged with backto-back biopics of 20th century titans: one the revolutionary breaker of baseballâ€™s color line, the other the Godfather of Soul. Both were unstoppable forces that blazed across civil rights-era America. One could steal home; the other could do the Mashed Potato.

3rd West Nile case reported in state JACKSON -- The Mississippi State Department of Health is reporting the stateâ€™s third human case of West Nile virus for 2014. The new reported case is in Rankin County. Earlier, health officials reported cases in Newton and Hinds counties. The state health department only reports laboratory-confirmed cases to the public. In 2013, Mississippi had 45 West Nile cases and five deaths. State Epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Dobbs says the second case is a reminder of the importance of preventing mosquito exposures, particularly ahead of the active summer months. Â

MUW schedules third graduation COLUMBUS -- Mississippi University for Women will host its first August graduation on Saturday. Traditionally, MUW has had two graduation ceremonies: one in May and one in December. MUW officials say in a news release that the third ceremony was added to accommodate family and friends of the graduates. About 150 students are expected to walk in the Aug. 2 ceremony. MUW says 422 students will receive their degrees. Kaye Bender, president and chief executive officer of the Public Health Accreditation Board, will serve as the ceremonyâ€™s keynote speaker. Â

sippi State Department of Health is confirming one new human case of chikungunya virus. Health officials say in a news release the newest case occurred in a resident who recently returned from the Dominican Republic. This is the fifth human case reported in a Mississippi. The four cases previously reported occurred in travelers to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Symptoms include fever, muscle and joint pain and joint swelling. Deaths are rare, but officials say anyone with a compromised immune system is at a higher risk of complications from the infection. Â

3 die in wreck in Lowndes County COLUMBUS -- Three people have died and two have been injured in a weekend accident in Lowndes County. Coroner Greg Merchant says the one-vehicle accident occurred between midnight and 1 a.m. Sunday on a county road. Merchant says three people were pronounced

dead at the scene. They were 22-year-old Tyler Nelson Thompson, 32-year-old Dontay Orlando Evans and 40-year-old Eddie Lee, all of Columbus. Two other passengers were transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Columbus. Merchant says the injuries are not life-threatening. Â

The 21-year-old senior at Mississippi State University won the Miss Hospitality Pageant in Hattiesburg Saturday night. Thirty-five women competed.

Tri-Lakes case Man charged in teenâ€™s disappearance to have retrial The Associated Press

The Associated Press

OXFORD â€” A federal judge has ordered a new trial on some charges against two men convicted in 2011 for a kickback-bribery scheme at the Tri-Lakes Medical Center in Batesville. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports the order was issued this past week by U.S. District Court Judge Neal B. Biggers. Biggers ordered a retrial for Lee Garner on three counts of fraud and one count of bribery. He ordered a new trial for businessman Ray Shoemaker on two counts of fraud and one count of bribery. Biggers said new trials are necessary because the government didnâ€™t make public the indictment of their star witness â€” former hospital

board member Michael David Chandler â€” until the trial was essentially over. Biggers said the defense didnâ€™t have all possible information when cross-examining Chandler because the information was sealed during most of the trial. Shoemaker is currently serving a 55-month sentence on other counts in the scheme. Garner has not been given jail time. The government said the two men conspired to increase Garnerâ€™s nurse staffing business at the hospital and Garner paid Shoemaker for his help. Garner was accused of offering to pay Shoemaker $25,000 in exchange for Shoemakerâ€™s influence over the ordering of nursing services for Garnerâ€™s company.

CONCORD, N.H. â€” A 34-year-old man was arrested and charged Monday with kidnapping a New Hampshire teenage girl who returned home last week after vanishing nine months ago. Nathaniel Kibby was arrested without incident at his Gorham home, about 28 miles north of where the girl lives, and was charged with felony kidnapping, authorities said. Police allege Kibby knowingly confined Abigail â€œAbbyâ€? Hernandez, then 14, on Oct. 9, sometime after she left Conway High School for her home. Abby returned home the night of July 20, but authorities have not explained the circumstances of her return.

There is a big difference between the books that men make, and the Book that makes men. The answers to lifeâ€™s problems, for which men are constantly searching, are found in the pages of this grand old Book, which they have sadly neglected. The Bible does not need to be rewritten, but it does need to be re-read. W.W. Ayer said, â€œThe reason people are down on the Bible is that they are not up on the Bible.â€? It is always right to go by the Bible. Paul said, â€œAll scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is proďŹ table for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.â€? (11 Timothy 3:16-17). The most desirable time to read the Bible is as often as possible! When we allow ourselves to become â€œtoo busyâ€? to ďŹ nd time to search the scriptures we have become â€œtoo busyâ€?. When the works of men appeal to us more than does Godâ€™s Book, we have lost sight of true values. A story is told of a minister who taught an old man to read. He proved a proďŹ cient scholar. After the teaching had come to an end, the minister was not able to call at the home for some time, and when he did he found only the wife at home. â€œHowâ€™s John?â€?, he said. â€œHeâ€™s just doing great,â€? was the wifeâ€™s reply. â€œAnd how is he getting on with his reading?â€? â€œVery nicely, sir.â€?, â€œAh, I suppose he will read his Bible very comfortably now.â€? â€œBible Sir! Bless you! He was out of the Bible and into newspapers long ago.â€? To forsake the â€œfountain of Living Waterâ€? (Jeremiah 2:13), and turn to the muddy pools of manâ€™s making will never cleanse society of its ďŹ lth. Men often insist that they can not understand the Bible. Mark Twain said, â€œMost people are bothered by those passages in Scripture which they can not understand: but as for me, I always noticed that the passages in Scripture which trouble me most are those which I do understand.â€? The Bible makes men who respect God, respect others, and who are themselves respected. Several years ago a man who was traveling in the wilds of Kentucky. He had considerable money with him and was also well armed. He had to stop for the night at a log cabin in an out of the way place. A number of very rough looking men were there. The traveler retired early, but not to sleep. He put his money under his bed, and his pistols under his pillow. In about an our after retiring, he was startled by the noise of someone entering the cabin. he got his pistols and sat up in bed. Looking into the other room through a crack, he was a man standing a gun in the corner. The others then sat down with him before the ďŹ re, spending some time in earnest conversation. The traveler could not hear what they said, but felt sure they were plotting to rob him, or possibly kill him. Then the late-comer, who seemed to be the oldest, took a copy of the Bible from the shelf. He read a chapter aloud. When he was through they all knelt while he offered prayer. The traveler at once dismissed his fears, put his pistols away and lying down, slept peacefully until morning. No book that prepares one for tomorrow can ever be put out of date or old-fashioned.

Police released a sketch of him last week based on Abbyâ€™s description. Abby also issued a statement, which was posted on Facebook, thanking people who searched for her and saying she believes their hopes and prayers â€œplayed a major role in my release.â€? Zenya Hernandez told NBCâ€™s â€œTodayâ€? that when her daughter returned home, she was thin and pale and had â€œa look in her eyes Iâ€™ve never, ever seen before. And thatâ€™s something thatâ€™s haunting me, and I think will haunt me for the rest of my life.â€? The mother also said in the television interview that rumors that her daughter was pregnant arenâ€™t true. Roger Lawrence, 66,

who lives in the same mobile home park as Kibby, said he met him last summer while Kibby was walking his dog. He didnâ€™t know him well but exchanged pleasantries with him. â€œHe seemed to be nice, down to earth. He was very polite,â€? Lawrence said. Lawrence said he didnâ€™t see Kibby all winter, but saw him Saturday, walking past his home to get his mail. He was shocked to hear of the arrest. â€œNo words can explain it. I was ready to wring his neck. I was very surprised,â€? he said. â€œI was wondering what happened to that little girl myself, seeing it on the news, thinking, â€˜Where could she have gone?â€™â€?

The Book That Makes Men

Attorney General Joseph Foster said Monday law enforcement officials have worked around the clock to determine the facts surrounding the girlâ€™s disappearance and return. He said Abby provided the police with details of her kidnapping sufficient to warrant Kibbyâ€™s arrest. Kibby is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday at Conway District Court. It was not immediately known if Kibby has a lawyer. Foster said he will have a press briefing after the arraignment. Abbyâ€™s mother, Zenya Hernandez, said in a television interview Monday she believes Abby, now 15, did not run away and didnâ€™t know the man believed to have driven off with her.

NEW YORK â€” A California man who skipped town after being accused of molesting a child was killed and three law enforcement officers trying to arrest him were wounded in a daytime shootout inside a New York City smoke shop, officials said Monday. The suspect, wedding photographer Charles Richard Mozdir, was recently featured on a CNN show about fugitives. He was wanted in a San Di-

ego case and charged with five counts of lewd acts upon a child younger than 14, according to a criminal complaint. Officials didnâ€™t disclose details of the injuries sustained by the two U.S. Marshals and a New York City detective, but Police Commissioner William Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters all three were in stable condition. â€œWe pray everything we are hearing is true and that these officers will be

OK in the long run,â€? de Blasio said. The shootout between Mozdir and a fugitive apprehension task force happened just after 1 p.m. in the West Village not far from New York University in a highly trafficked tourist area bounded by jazz clubs, restaurants a subway station and basketball court. â€œIt was shocking and out-of-place,â€? said Edoardo Gelardin, 24, who was heading to lunch shortly after the shooting when

A $1 million bench warrant was issued for Mozdirâ€™s arrest on June 15, 2012, after he skipped an arraignment in San Diego Superior Court on child sexual assault charges, according to Steve Walker, a spokesman for the San Diego County district attorney. He had posted $250,000 bail. He had also been charged with attempting to dissuade a witness from prosecution, according to the criminal complaint. His case had recently been featured on CNNâ€™s â€œThe Hunt with John Walsh.â€? Mozdir was accused of abusing a young boy while babysitting him and authorities later found evidence of child pornography and bestiality on his cellphone and computers, according to the showâ€™s website, quoting federal authorities. Authorities have searched for him in Coronado, Georgia, California and Mexico, according to the show. The San Diego County Public Defenderâ€™s Office, which represented Mozdir in the child molestation case, didnâ€™t immediately return a message seeking comment. The fugitive task force seeks absconders from other states, Bratton said. Mozdirâ€™s weapon was recovered, authorities said.

Veterans’ health care deal to cost $17 billion The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A bipartisan deal announced Monday would authorize about $17 billion to help veterans avoid long waits for health care, hire more doctors and nurses to treat veterans and make it easier to fire executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs. An agreement announced by the chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees is intended to fix a veterans’ health program scandalized by long patient wait times and falsified records covering up delays. The bill includes $10 billion in emergency spending to make it easier for veterans who can’t get prompt appointments with VA doctors to obtain outside care; $5 billion to hire doctors, nurses and other medical staff; and about $1.5 billion to lease 27 new clinics across the country, lawmakers said. The bill also would expand a scholarship program for veterans, allow all veterans to qualify for

in-state college tuition and grant the VA secretary authority to immediately fire senior executives, while providing employees with streamlined appeal rights. “This bill makes certain that we address the immediate crisis of veterans being forced onto long waiting lists for health care,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs panel. The measure also “strengthens the VA so that it will be able to hire the doctors, nurses and medical personnel it needs so we can permanently put an end to the long waiting lists,” Sanders said at a news conference with Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., his House counterpart. Miller said the bill would “go a long way to resolve the crisis” that is gripping the VA. The agency has been rocked by reports of patients dying while awaiting treatment and mounting evidence that workers falsified or omitted

appointment schedules to mask frequent, long delays. The resulting election-year firestorm forced VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign in late May. Sanders and Miller reached agreement on a plan to reform the VA over the weekend after more than six weeks of sometimes testy talks. The compromise measure would require the VA to pay private doctors to treat qualifying veterans who can’t get prompt appointments at the VA’s nearly 1,000 hospitals and outpatient clinics, or those who live at least 40 miles from one of them. Only veterans who are enrolled in VA care as of Aug. 1 or live at least 40 miles away would be eligible to get outside care. The proposed restrictions are important in controlling costs for the program. Congressional budget analysts had projected that tens of thousands of veterans who currently are not treated by the VA would likely seek VA care if they could

see a private doctor paid for by the government. Sanders and Miller acknowledged the bill’s steep cost, but said it would include about $12 billion in new spending after accounting for about $5 billion in unspecified spending cuts from the VA’s budget. “Funding for veterans’ needs must be considered a ‘cost of war’ and appropriated as emergency spending,” Sanders said. “Planes and tanks and guns are a cost of war. So is taking care of the men and women who fight our battles.” The deal requires a vote by a conference committee of House and Senate negotiators, and votes in the full House and Senate. Miller and Sanders both predicted passage of the bill by the end of the week, when Congress is set to leave town for a five-week recess. If approved by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama, the veterans’ bill would be one of the few significant bills signed into law this

year. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama welcomes the bipartisan deal. “There are much-needed reforms that need to be implemented” at the VA, Earnest said Monday. The White House is especially pleased that the bill includes emergency spending “to provide VA the additional resources necessary to deliver timely, high-quality care to veterans through a strengthened VA system,” Earnest said. Garry Augustine, executive director of the Disabled American Veterans, called the compromise a promising first step to rebuild the VA and provide enrolled veterans with timely health care. “While no veteran should be forced to wait too long or travel too far to get their care, we remain concerned that simply giving veterans plastic cards and wishing them good luck in the private sector is not a substitute for a coordinated system of care,”

Augustine said. “The VA must remain fully responsible for ensuring the best health outcomes for veterans.” An updated audit by the VA this month showed that about 10 percent of veterans seeking medical care at VA hospitals and clinics still have to wait at least 30 days for an appointment. About 46,000 veterans have had to wait at least three months for initial appointments, the report said, and an additional 7,000 veterans who asked for appointments over the past decade never got them. Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson has said the VA is making improvements, but said veterans in many communities still are waiting too long to receive needed care. The VA provides health care to nearly 9 million enrolled veterans. The Senate is expected to vote this week to confirm former Procter & Gamble CEO Robert McDonald as the new VA secretary, replacing Gibson.

Arrest of mother for neglect touches off child care debate The Associated Press

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Plenty of working parents can relate to the dilemma Debra Harrell faced when her 9-yearold daughter asked to play unsupervised in a park this summer. How do you find the time and money for child care when school is out? Harrell’s answer to that question got her arrested. She spent the night in jail, temporarily lost custody of her girl for 17 days, thought she lost her job, and still faces 10 years in prison if convicted of felony child neglect. The decision of this 46-year-old single mother and McDonald’s shift manager has been picked apart since police were called when Regina was spotted alone in the park. But some of their neighbors tell The Associated Press that Harrell shouldn’t be vilified, because many nearby families also leave their kids at Summerfield Park. In the South Carolina summer, the park has obvious appeal to kids: there’s cool water on a splash pad, a playground and basketball courts, and a volunteer comes by with a free breakfast and lunch. Plenty of friends and some parents and caretakers also are around to keep an eye on things, they say. “Her child is not the

only one at that park without a parent. There are children all over this neighborhood. They hold the feed-a-child program. There’s that splash pad too,” said Angelina Scott, who lives one street over from Harrell and has a daughter in the same grade as Regina. South Carolina criminalizes leaving a child at “unreasonable risk of harm affecting the child’s life, physical or mental health, or safety.” But the law offers no specifics on when a child can be left alone without supervision, giving police and prosecutors wide discretion to decide whether a parent’s actions have been criminal, or just unwise, said Harrell’s lawyer, Robert Phillips. Nationwide, about 5 percent of elementary school-aged children living just with their mothers are left alone at some point during a typical week, according to 2011 report from the U.S. Census Bureau, which notes that the percentage likely increases in the summer. For the libertarian Reason Foundation, Harrell’s arrest is an example of how the government thinks it knows better how to raise a child than her mother. An opinion piece in The Los Angeles Times suggested it shows how society is predisposed, without evidence,

to think black women are worse mothers. Bloggers cite her case in online duels, with some railing against “helicopter parenting” and others saying it’s just too dangerous for a 9-year-old girl to venture out into today’s world alone. In Harrell’s North Augusta neighborhood, people are talking more about the struggles of low-income parents to find safe places for their children when school’s not in session. Despite the sweltering heat, Trina Thomas brings her children to the park for the free lunch and the playground. Her kids are 3, 5, and 11, and she can’t imagine leaving her oldest alone. But she is fully aware of the pressure of summer care: Because she watches her kids herself, she has fewer hours at her cosmetology job. Her clients also must spend more for child care, so their every-two-week trip to the beauty shop becomes once a month. “Summer costs me money,” she said. Regina stayed at the McDonald’s each day at first, passing the summer hours with her mother’s laptop on the restaurant’s wireless connection. But it was stolen from their home in June, the second burglary in less than a year, according to Aiken

County Sheriff’s Office reports. Without the computer, she “sat there and was bored to death. She simply asked her mother if she could drop her off at the park rather than drop her off in a McDonald’s area all day,” Phillips said. “What are the options that are the best for the child? And are certain options criminal?” he asked. On June 30, a woman approached Regina after seeing her alone for five hours. Regina said her mother dropped her off while she worked at the nearby McDonald’s, and that she had spent plenty of time there by herself, according to the police report. The arrest warrant accuses Harrell of abandoning her child numerous times at the park between June 6 and June 30, without providing specifics. A worker for the charity that feeds needy children said she often saw Regina there and knew she wasn’t with her mother, but apparently didn’t think it necessary to call police. The witnesses’ identities have been withheld by police and prosecutors, who said it would be improper to try the case in the media. Harrell’s next court appearance is scheduled for September. Scott says the arrest is already having an impact: Neighborhood kids left

the girl’s education. Regina wasn’t harmed the day police picked her up in the park, or apparently any day this summer. The girl who made the A-B Honor Roll at her elementary school came outside with her mother when an AP reporter stopped by. She smiled and nodded, hugging her tiny dog Roscoe, when asked if she’s happy to be home. Harrell referred questions to her lawyer, and her co-workers said they’ve been told not to talk. But she said she’s going back to work at McDonald’s, where she said supervisors told her she’s still welcome. “I’m just happy she’s back,” Harrell said, standing next to her daughter outside their small home.

alone at home don’t go to the park as often, and aren’t even congregating outside as much. Harrell has no criminal record in South Carolina, where property records suggest she moved about three years ago, and the state’s child welfare agency said she wasn’t under investigation until now. She had a string of arrests in Florida, for drug possession, bounced checks, driving without a license and “nude or semi-nude acts.” But her last brush with the law outside of a traffic violation came in 2006, when she was found guilty of cocaine possession. People sympathetic to Harrell’s plight have donated nearly $40,000 through an Internet site to a trust fund set up for

Woman afraid of intimacy because of STD exam? Dear Annie: I am a Annie’s anThis puts your 68-year-old woman who health at risk. Also, has been divorced for Mailbox how many patients more than 30 years. I has he lost because of haven’t been in an intimate relationship for the past 10. Last year, I discovered that I have genital herpes. The doctor said I may have had it for years before experiencing symptoms. I was devastated. When I have an outbreak, I take medication that shortens the discomfort, and I decided not to have intimate contact anymore. I’m quite busy with my retirement lifestyle and very content. Here’s the problem: Through a friend, I recently met an interesting man my age. I don’t want to tell him about my personal medical history, but I also don’t want him to think I’m a prude. We went out casually once, and he has called since, but I have put him off. I can’t decide whether I should see him again and whether I should tell him I have an STD and let him decide whether he wants a “friend without benefits.” What do you suggest? — K. Dear K.: It seems a shame to end your sex life because you

fear transmitting an STD. There are ways to avoid that. And your future partner may be more understanding than you realize. Please contact the American Sexual Health Association (ashasexualhealth. org) for information on all STDs, including herpes, and for support in communicating with potential partners. Dear Annie: How do you tell a doctor that his office is dirty? My physician’s office is full of dust, cobwebs, smudged fingerprints and dirty sinks. It looks as if it hasn’t been cleaned in years. He is a good doctor and has helped me many times, but I can hardly walk into that office without gagging. What should I do? — Love the Doc, Not His Office Dear Love the Doc: You have to tell him. All of that dirt means that equipment that needs to be sterile isn’t, and who knows what germs you are breathing in during

the condition of his office? And if your doctor cannot see the dirt surrounding him, he may have a vision problem that needs correcting, although it’s more likely he either doesn’t have a cleaning staff or they don’t do a good job. Does your doctor have an assistant or receptionist? Direct your complaint to that person. If there is no one else in his office, please have the courage to speak up during your next visit. Tell the doctor that his office could use a good cleaning, and suggest that his current cleaning service be replaced. If things don’t change, report him to your local health department. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
