Police: Beware of counterfeit bills BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

At least two Northeast Mississippi law enforcement agencies have had recent reports of counterfeit bills in circulation. Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance said he believes his department stopped the latest source of bills circulating in the city. However, “We would cau-

The Alcorn School District saved $20,000 on a recent remodel at Kossuth Elementary. After a plumbing problem forced Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell to request bids on the remodel of two restrooms at KES, he wasn’t happy with the price tag. The district received a $45,000 quote to gut and update a boys and girls restroom, but after research and the utilization of district labor, Mitchell was able to upgrade the restrooms for $25,000. “We were even able to make the restrooms larger than they were previously,” he said. “They are also now up to code with handicap stalls.” Mitchell said he plans to look at bathroom remodels at other schools in the district. “KES was the pilot,” he said. “If we are happy with this, then we can consider other bathroom remodels throughout the district using these guidelines.” The superintendent also gave a update on the redesign of the new culinary arts classroom at Alcorn Career Technology Center. “We only lack vented hood installs and a little plumbing,” he said. In other county school board news, three substitutes were approved for work in the district. Board member Ann Little said they were “very qualified.”

“We were even able to make the restrooms larger than they were previously. They are also now up to code with handicap stalls.” Larry B. Mitchell Alcorn School District superintendent “A number of them have teaching degrees and a lot of experience,” she said. “I think we are very fortunate to have substitutes of such quality coming into our district.” Those subs approved were Patrice Adcock, Jennifer Bradley and Patti Poindexter. The board also accepted six student transfers into Alcorn County schools. Four students were given the OK to attend Alcorn Central Elementary School, while two were granted approval to attend Biggersville High School. The board also hired The Sparks CPA Firm, P.C. for audit services for the next two years. The firm recently purchased Brawner Vanstory & Co. PA, who the school district contracted audit services with during the 2015-16 school year.

Glen board approves FEMA hazard, mitigation plan BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — The Mayor and Board of Aldermen for the Town of Glen approved a Hazard Mitigation Plan as part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirement. The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan adoption request was presented by Alcorn County Emer-

gency Management Director and Fire Services Co-ordinator Ricky Gibens to the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen during the board’s regular monthly meeting. Gibens explained the plan has to be adopted every five years and is something put together by the State of Mississippi and accepted by FEMA. The plan is then adopted by

all the counties and municipalities. He explained the language of the plan indicates that if a municipality opts not to adopt the plan, then they would not be eligible to receive any financial assistance from FEMA or the State Emergency Management Agency. “It doesn’t cost you anything to adopt it. It doesn’t cost you anything to execute the plan.

Hopefully, you’ll never have to use it,” Gibens said, “It’s basically 159 pages that says they’ll come help you ...” The plan includes town demographics such as the town’s population which, he noted as an item of interest, was 412 according to the 2010 Census, which was a 44.1 percent increase from 286 in 2000. In other board business:

• The board approved the disposal of two old, obsolete copiers, an unrepairable facsimile machine and a burned out monitor as surplus equipment beyond repair. • A quote for labor to paint the Glen Town Hall interior was approved. The board also approved that they would furPlease see PLAN | 5A

SHELTER CONTINUED FROM 1A

“We are so over crowded,” said Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner. “We have a serious pet overpopulation problem in the north Mississippi and west Tennessee area, and there are many, many dogs and cats in need.” As of Friday morning, the shelter held 233 animals. “The shelter’s maximum number is 175, but we have always done our best to fit in animals wherever possible,” said Doehner. The situation is a double-edged sword. The shelter must receive all animals captured by City of Corinth animal control, Alcorn County Board of Supervisors and City of Farmington animal control. It’s because of necessary funding and

In an effort to decrease over population, the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter offers a adoption special each Friday of $5 on all cats and kittens. contracts with these municipalities that the shelter must hold up its end of the deal and intake numbers can be staggering. “We average daily intakes from the city and county of at least seven to eight animals, but it’s

been as many as 22 in one day,” said the director. Not only does shelter staﬀ realize it has capacity issues, but the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine keeps a close eye on the over crowding issue.

“The vet school has been coming to Corinth and handling our spays and neuters for years, and they have warned us about the shelter’s overpopulation for almost a year,” said Doehner. “Now they are threatening to stop coming if we can’t get it under control. MSU provides a huge cost savings to us and we can’t afford to lose them.” And euthanization is not an option. Doehner said the shelter never euthanizes a animal for time or space. They only euthanized 52 of the 1,186 animals accepted in 2016. The shelter must turn away animals from the public on a daily basis, and sometimes the public doesn’t understand why. “My staff and I have had to deal with several community members who don’t understand our current problem,” said Doehner. “We have personally received threats and people have caused harm to the shelter and, unfortunately, they have also caused harm to the animal they wanted us to take.” Unhappy citizens often turn to social media or public officials to voice concern over the shelter’s refusal to take in their animal. “In a perfect world, we would take every single animal brought into the shelter, but we just can’t afford to – there’s too much riding on just one more,” said the director. It’s a fine line between those who understand and those who help. “The community members who help us and understand our trouble outweigh those who don’t by a long shot,” added Doehner. “There’s no dought, we could not survive without our community supporters and animal lovers.”

There is one exception to the public intake rule. Doehner said she “doesn’t have the heart” to turn away critically injured and abused dogs or cats. Shelter staﬀ and community animal activists have created multiple avenues to find “fur-ever” homes for sheltered animals in an eﬀort to relieve the pet population problem. While adoptions have always been good for the local shelter, Doehner has began to see more improvement. It started happening after she launched $5 cat or kitten Fridays. Normally ranging from $40 to $30, individuals and families can adopt a cat or kitten for just $5 every Friday until further notice. “It’s a really great deal and much less than a person might pay at a breeder or store,” said Doehner. “We only launched the program three weeks ago and our feline numbers are already way down.” The low cost adoption includes spay or neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccines, de-worming treatments, skin treatments, preventive healthcare and follow up calls/ visits. The shelter also hosts several special events each month where adoption fees are normally cut in half. Doehner said she also works with five other animal rescues based throughout the northeast to find homes for pets. “We are so fortunate to have great partners that we are able to send dogs and puppies to,” she said. “Many of these rescues are based in the north where there is no such thing as animal over population.” The local shelter sends around four to five young adult and adult dogs each

week to Pennsylvaniabased Charlie’s Crusaders Pet Rescue. They work with over populated shelters in Tennessee and Mississippi, covering the adoption and transportation fees to re-home canines in northern states. Charlie’s Crusaders has agreements with just two Mississippi shelters – the Corinth shelter and a humane society in Tunica County. The local shelter also has agreements to do the same with the Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, where they send 40 to 50 puppies to the Virginia-based rescue each month. The shelter slipts transport costs with Wolf Trap. Other partner rescues include North Shore Animal League in upstate New York, Precious Friends Puppy Rescue in northern Kentucky and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Virginia. Another way the shelter is working to get a handle on population problems in the area is through a catch-and-release program for feral cats. The shelter picks up feral animals, brings them to the shelter, has the animals spayed or neutered and then releases them back into the community. Earlier this month the shelter also partnered with the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors to launch ACSpay, a new program to provide lowcost spaying for female dogs owned by low-income families in Corinth and Alcorn County who may not be able to aﬀord it at regular cost. The creation of this program, Doehner believes, may make the biggest impact ever on the local animal population problem.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Aug. 6, the 218th day of 2017. There are 147 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On August 6, 1945, during World War II, the U.S. B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb code-named “Little Boy” on Hiroshima, Japan, resulting in an estimated 140,000 deaths. (Three days later, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki; five days after that, Imperial Japan surrendered.)

On this date In 1813, during the Venezuelan War of Independence, forces led by Simon Bolivar recaptured Caracas. In 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war against Russia and Serbia declared war against Germany. In 1917, actor Robert Mitchum was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In 1926, Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel, arriving in Kingsdown, England, from France in 141/2 hours. Warner Bros. premiered its Vitaphone sound-ondisc movie system in New York with a showing of “Don Juan” featuring synchronized music and sound effects. In 1930, New York State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater went missing after leaving a Manhattan restaurant; his disappearance remains a mystery. In 1942, Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands became the first reigning queen to address a joint session of Congress, telling lawmakers that despite Nazi occupation, her people’s motto remained, “No surrender.” In 1956, the DuMont television network went off the air after a decade of operations. In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov became the second man to orbit Earth as he flew aboard Vostok 2; his call sign, “Eagle,” prompted his famous declaration: “I am Eagle!” In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. In 1978, Pope Paul VI died at Castel Gandolfo at age 80. In 1986, William J. Schroeder died at at Humana Hospital-Audubon in Louisville, Kentucky, after living 620 days with the Jarvik 7 artificial heart. In 1997, Korean Air Flight 801 crashed into a hillside a short distance from Guam International Airport, killing 228 of the 254 aboard the Boeing 747.

Leaders attend conference Staff reports

Several of Corinth’s elected leaders attended three days of training and leadership development at the Mississippi Municipal League’s 86th Annual Conference at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center. Mayor Tommy Irwin, Ward 2 Alderman Ben Albarracin, Ward 3 Alderman Chip Wood and Alderman at Large Mike Hopkins attended the July 24-26 event. This year, the league celebrated 86 years of service to Mississippi’s cities and towns and welcomed many newly elected oﬃcials attending the conference for the first time. “The MML Annual Conference

allows municipal elected officials from across the state to participate in education sessions taught by subject matter experts on topics critical to the operation of municipal government,” said MML President Jimmy Clyde, mayor of Magee. “We also have the opportunity to network and share ideas with each other.” An estimated 3,000 municipal elected officials, municipal employees, state agency representatives, legislators, exhibitors and others attended. Many state and federal agencies provided speakers for the educational sessions, including the Attorney General’s Office, State Auditor’s Office, Mississippi Develop-

ment Authority, Mississippi Planning and Development Districts and MDEQ, among others. Topics included state law updates, grant writing, community health initiatives, municipal liability issues, community and economic development, retail development, disaster recovery, and water and sewer issues. Other highlights included presentation of the 2017 Municipal Excellence Awards, a business expo and the certified municipal oﬃcial graduation. Established in 1931, the MML represents 295 city, town and village governments in Mississippi, providing training, lobbying, resources and networking.

Corinth, Miss.

Gimme swelter It’s August, which means most of us are feeling not unlike a Hershey bar in a pizza oven. What a relief to get home, crank up the AC — and damn the world to ever steamier summers. Yes, this is a column about the downside of that delicious rush of arctic air when you step in from the summer inferno. And I write it not just because I’m the one who’s always wearing a sweater and complaining about how cold it is in the office. I realize that life can be Lenore pretty miserable without air Skenazy conditioning, and an un-airColumnist conditioned bus or subway equals commuter fondue. For the sick and the elderly, AC may even be a lifesaver. But one-sixth of the electricity we use in America — more than all the electricity used in India — goes to air conditioning. Generating that power adds to global warming, which means that summers are going to keep getting hotter — until the polar ice caps melt and we’re just as cool as can be, because we’re living underwater. Until then, shouldn’t you throw out your window unit — provided no one is standing directly underneath it? You bet your sweaty buns. But if you’re like most people, you won’t -- unless you start thinking about all the ways air conditioning has made us a lonelier, chubbier, less fulfilled country. The loneliness factor is obvious. Just look at how we spend our season (not) in the sun. Before the advent of air conditioning, summer was one big block party, with neighbors gossiping, hydrants spewing and lots of shrieking — the good kind. Now those same revelers stay inside Googling “fun” and wondering why they never have any. Then they snack. So which is better for everyone involved, dipping another chip into dip or dipping a toe into the local pool, stream or puddle of hydrant water? Which one is going to give you a bigger gut? Maybe one reason we’re all blimping up (besides being told to eat carbs instead of fat — but that’s for another column) is the AC that keeps us in the living room instead of heading out to toss a Frisbee. We used to spend summers outside. Now the great outdoors seems too hot compared with our climate-controlled homes and the frosty stores beckoning us inside. So instead of playing, we end up paying. We’d have been better off just hanging out on the porch. Except the porch is gone! Another victim of AC! Shade, who needs it anymore? Once builders started to depend on AC, they stopped designing homes that cool off naturally — and cheaply. Commercial developers stopped, too. Out went the blueprints for buildings shaped like a T, H or L to promote cross ventilation. Stark towers sprang up, their windows sealed shut. These behemoths trap so much heat that parts of the 108-story Willis Tower in Chicago have to be air-conditioned even when outside it is zero degrees (which, as a Chicago native, I can tell you is September to April). During weeks like this one — the mercury keeps hitting the 90s by me — AC sounds pretty good. But there are ways you can feel cool without wasting so much energy and money. Don’t leave the AC on when you’re not at home. Use fans when you can stand it a little warmer. And then — get out there! To the park or pool or single remaining porch. This is August, not January. Sizzle away! You’ll be shivering soon enough. Especially those of you in Chicago. Lenore Skenazy is author of the book and blog “Free-Range Kids” and a hilarious keynote speaker at conferences, companies and schools. Run out and get her book “Has the World Gone Skenazy?”

Prayer For Today Father of love, I thank thee for thy daily love and for thy daily bread. May I feel that thy gifts are for all, and not mine to keep and store from those who are in need. Help me as I say, “Thy will be done to me,” to so will it to others. Amen.

A Verse To Share And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” — Mark 11:25

Ignoring the lessons of effective presidents Who have been the most successful presidents in the past 80 years? Most successful, that is, in framing issues and advancing their policies, achieving foreign policy success, winning reelection and maintaining high job approval. My nominees are Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. They had in common many things: winning smiles, confident optimism, a seeming sympathy with ordinary Americans. Together they won eight presidential nominations and eight general elections. There were personal connections among the three. Roosevelt, having observed Eisenhower in multiple high-level conferences, chose him to command the Normandy invasion and Allied troops on their way toward Berlin. And as Gene Kopelson has revealed in his book, “Reagan’s 1968 Dress Rehearsal,” Eisenhower, in his post-presidential years, had several serious meetings with Reagan and may have regarded him as a worthy successor. Each of these presidents experienced a painful career pause -- Roosevelt recuperating from polio, Eisenhower promotionless between world wars, Reagan as his movie career tapered oﬀ -- and emerged, without any real friends, to win the

highest office. None seems to have trusted anyone with full access to his intentions Michael and strateBarone gies. Each was a smiling Columnist sphinx, his full purposes mysterious even to his closest associates and wife. Roosevelt deployed his politically talented wife, Eleanor, on occasion but often ignored her; it doesn’t seem as if Eisenhower consulted Mamie on policy; Reagan adored Nancy, but it doesn’t seem as if he confronted her with policies she might have opposed. Roosevelt was particularly devious and often, in the opinion of his admiring biographer Conrad Black, duplicitous and cruel. He typically gave appointees contradictory missions and waited to see how they turned out. He seldom fired people, letting them, including his first two vice presidents, fade out of favor instead. He confided his strategy to win an unprecedented third term to no one, except perhaps Harry Hopkins, whom he also trusted to advance surreptitious aid to Churchill’s Britain and Stalin’s Soviet Union. But in time, Hopkins fell ill and out of the loop. Eisenhower was content to be portrayed as being

the frontman for the likes of John Foster Dulles and Richard Nixon. But as Fred Greenstein, after reading the administration’s orderly paperwork, revealed in 1982 in “The Hidden-Hand Presidency,” it was Ike who was coldbloodedly calling the shots. John F. Kennedy had come to a similar conclusion years earlier, calling Eisenhower a cold man without any real friends. That conclusion was reinforced by columnist Murray Kempton in his 1967 Esquire article “The Underestimation of Dwight D. Eisenhower.” Reagan, so preternaturally cheerful that he joked to surgeons after being shot and losing half his blood, remained a mystery to everyone around him. His oﬃcial biographer, Edmund Morris, granted full access, left mystified and wrote a halffictional memoir. It seems as if no one fully grasped one of Reagan’s major goals until Paul Lettow, relying on untouched documents in the Reagan Library, wrote his 2005 book, “Ronald Reagan and His Quest to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.” Is it necessary to add, switching to the present, that Donald Trump is nothing like this kind of president? To be sure, he has acted on shrewd insights, notably that he could shed college-educated voters in many states without losing any electoral

votes while adding to the Republican column noncollege-educated whites in others, gaining him 100. Few observers grasped that this was even possible until the evening of Nov. 8. But with Twitter at the ready, Trump too often confides in the world things that Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Reagan would have told no one else. We know his mood at 6:23 a.m., his reactions to hosts and guests on “Fox & Friends,” his miffedness with his attorney general. Will his diplomacy-bytweet effort to get China to restrain North Korea be as successful as Eisenhower’s moves, still unknown 64 years later, to accomplish something similar? Will his admonishments of Jeff Sessions be as successful as Roosevelt’s and Reagan’s quiet manipulation of errant subordinates? One suspects the answers are no. Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Reagan were strong and self-assured enough to practice self-discipline and self-restraint. Trump seems to relish shedding them. That doesn’t seem likely to make him the fourth president on my list. Michael Barone is a senior political analyst for the Washington Examiner, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and longtime co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.

Is Trump’s Russia policy being hijacked? In crafting the platform in Cleveland on which Donald Trump would run, America Firsters inflicted a major defeat on the War Party. The platform committee rejected a plank to pull us deeper into Ukraine, by successfully opposing new U.S. arms transfers to Kiev. Improved relations with Russia were what candidate Trump had promised, and what Americans would vote for in November. As pro-Russia rebels in East Ukraine have armored vehicles, Kiev wants U.S. tank-killing Javelin missiles, as well as antiaircraft weapons. State and Defense want Trump to send the lethal weapons. This is a formula for a renewed war, with far higher casualties in Ukraine than the 10,000 dead already suﬀered on both sides. And it is a war Vladimir Putin will not likely allow Kiev to win. If Ukraine’s army, bolstered by U.S. weaponry, re-engages in the east, it could face a Moscowbacked counterattack and be routed, and the Russian army could take permanent control of the Donbass. Indeed, if Trump approves this State-Defense escalation plan, we could be looking at a rerun of the Russia-Georgia war of Au-

gust 2008. Then, to recapture its lost province of South Ossetia, which had seceded Patrick in 1992, after Buchanan Georgia seceded from Columnist Russia, Georgia invaded. Putin sent his army in, threw the Georgians out, and recognized South Ossetia, as John McCain impotently declaimed, “We are all Georgians now!” Wisely, George W. Bush ignored McCain and did nothing. But about this new arms deal questions arise. As the rebels have no aircraft, whose planes are the U.S. antiaircraft missiles to shoot down? And if the Russian army just over the border can enter and crush the Ukrainian army, why would we want to restart a civil war, the only certain result of which is more dead Ukrainians on both sides? Also going neocon is Mike Pence. In Georgia this week, noting that Russian tanks are still in South Ossetia, the vice president not only declared, “We stand with you,” he told Georgians the U.S. stands by its 2008 commitment to bring them into NATO.

Russia’s security interests there seem clear. What are ours? Along with Trump’s signing of the new sanctions bill imposed by Congress, which strips him of his authority to lift those sanctions without Hill approval, these developments raise larger questions. Is President Trump losing control of Russia policy? Has he capitulated to the neocons? These are not academic questions. For consider the architect of the new arms package, Kurt Volker, the new U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations. A former CIA agent, member of the National Security Counsel, and envoy to NATO, Volker believes Russian troops in Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk are all there illegally — and U.S. policy should be to push them out. A former staﬀer of Sen. McCain, Volker was, until July, executive director of the neocon McCain Institute. He has called for the imposition of personal sanctions on Putin and his family and European travel restrictions on the Russian president. In The Wall Street Journal last week, “oﬃcials” described his strategy:

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

“Volker believes ... that a change in Ukraine can be brought only by raising the costs for Moscow for continued intervention in Ukraine. In public comments, he has played down the notion that supplying weapons to Ukraine would escalate the conflict with Russia.” As for concerns that Putin might send his army into Ukraine, such worries are unwarranted. Volker envisions a deepening U.S. involvement in a Ukrainian civil war that can bleed and break Russia’s Ukrainian allies and convince Putin to back down and accept what we regard as a just settlement. Does Trump believe this? Does Trump believe that confronting Putin with rising casualties among his army and allies in Ukraine is the way to force the Russian president to back down and withdraw from Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk, as Nikita Khrushchev did from Cuba in 1962? What if Putin refuses to back down, and chooses to confront? Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of a new book, “Nixon’s White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever.”

MRHC receives heart association awards Magnolia Regional Health Center last week received a trio of the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline awards for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks. Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the most deadly type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication. Unfortunately, a significant number of STEMI patients don’t receive this prompt reperfusion therapy, which is critical in restoring blood flow. Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that separate these patients from timely access to appropriate treatments. Among the three awards MRHC received were the Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award, Mission: Lifeline Gold Receiving Quality Achievement Award, and Mission: Lifeline® NSTEMI Silver Quality Achievement Award. By receiving this recognition, MRHC has accomplished their goal of reducing system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks, beginning with the 9-1-1 call and continuing through hospital treatment. MRHC is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our patients who suﬀer a heart attack, and the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program is helping us accomplish that goal through nationally respected clinical guidelines,” said Ronny Humes, CEO at Magnolia Regional Health Center. “We are pleased to be rec-

ognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care, and I am very proud of our team.” Emergency Medical System providers are vital to the success of Mission: Lifeline. EMS agencies perform 12-lead ECGs which measure the electrical activity of the heart and can help determine if a heart attack has occurred. They also follow protocols derived from American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines. These correct tools, training, and practices allow EMS providers to rapidly identify suspected heart attack patients, promptly notify the medical center, and trigger an early response from the awaiting hospital personnel. Agencies that receive the Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award, as MRHC did, have demonstrated at least 75 percent compliance for each required achievement measure for two years. In order to be recognized with the Mission: Lifeline Gold Receiving Quality Achievement Award, MRHC demonstrated a 85 perfect composite adherence and at least 24 consecutive months of 75 percent or higher compliance on all Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center quality measures to improve the quality of care for STEMI patients. In addition to receiving the Mission: Lifeline Gold Receiving award, MRHC has also been recognized as a recipient of Mission: Lifeline’s Gold-Plus award, which recognizes the hospital has not only reached an achievement score of 75 percent or greater on all Mission: Lifeline Receiving Center Quality Measures, but also for achieving at least a 75 percent achievement on First Door to Device time under 120 minutes for STEMI transfer patients from other facilities. MRHC earned the Mission: Lifeline NSTEMI Sil-

State tax collections show improvement BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi tax collections looked better than expected for the first month of the budget year. The state took in more money this July than during the same month a year ago. “One month doesn’t set a trend,” Revenue Commissioner Herb Frierson told The Associated Press. “We need to watch it for the next three or four.” Republican Gov. Phil Bryant had to make multiple rounds of budget cuts in the past year because revenue fell short of expectations. Frierson said lawmakers who write the state spending plan are setting “more realistic” expectations for how much money the state might collect, based on how the economy is performing. Last July, lawmakers predicted the state would take in about $287 million. The $273 million in collections were a short-

fall. This July, lawmakers predicted the state would take in about $280 million. The $297 million in collections exceeded expectations. Not all tax categories are looking rosy, though. “I’m still concerned about sales tax,” Frierson said. “It’s way, way oﬀ.” Budget writers predicted Mississippi would collect nearly $77 million in sales tax this July, but collections were about $65 million. Last July, the state collected about $73 million in sales tax. The Department of Revenue is in the process of hiring more people to conduct sales tax audits to ensure that businesses are submitting all the money they are supposed to submit to the state. “Cash-intense businesses tend to, for lack of a better term, cheat. It’s easy for them to cheat,” Frierson said. “We only audit 3 percent of the sales tax paying people in the state. So, there’s a pretty good chance you can get away with it.”

Magnolia Regional Health Center physicians and staff were recently presented with the Mission: Lifeline Gold Receiving Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association.

Magnolia Regional Health Center was recently honored with the Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award from the American Heart Association. ver Quality Achievement Award by meeting specific criteria and standards of performance for the quick and appropriate treatment of NSTEMI patients by providing emergency procedures to re-establish blood flow to blocked arteries when needed. Eligible hospitals must have adhered to these measures at a set level for 12 consecutive months to receive

this award. “We commend Magnolia Regional Health Center for these achievement awards, which reflect a significant institutional commitment to the highest quality of care for their heart attack patients,” said James G. Jollis, MD, past Chair of the Mission: Lifeline Advisory Working Group. “Achieving this award means the hospital

has met specific reporting and achievement measures for the treatment of their patients who suﬀer heart attacks and we applaud them for their commitment to quality and timely care.” The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program helps hospitals and emergency medical services develop systems of care that fol-

low proven standards and procedures for STEMI and NSTEMI patients. The program works by mobilizing teams across the continuum of care to implement American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation clinical treatment guidelines. (For more information, visit heart.org.)

Nissan workers vote against UAW Release of U.S. BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

CANTON, Miss. â€” Supporters of the United Auto Workers say theyâ€™re not giving up their fight to unionize a Nissan auto assembly plant in Mississippi after a stinging defeat, even as UAW opponents say Fridayâ€™s loss proves workers donâ€™t want the union. More than 62 percent of workers voting in a twoday election at Nissan Motor Co.â€™s Canton plant voted against the UAW, with 2,244 ballots against the union according to the National Labor Relations Board. Voting for union representation were 1,307 workers, or 38 percent. â€œThey know we didnâ€™t need it,â€? said Nissan worker Kim Barber, an outspoken union opponent who said she was celebrating Fridayâ€™s result. â€œWe didnâ€™t need outside interference coming into our plant.â€? Amid tears at a union oďŹƒce near the plant just north of Jackson, UAW supporters voiced defiance, with some calling for the

â€œThey have rejected the UAW and chosen to self-represent, continuing the direct relationship they enjoy with the company.â€? Parul Bajaj Company spokeswoman election to be rerun after the minimum six-month wait. The union filed charges moments before the polls closed Friday night making new allegations that Nissan had broken federal labor law and intimidated workers into voting â€œno.â€? If the labor board agrees, it could order a new election at the plant. â€œIt hurts,â€? said union supporter Phillip White. â€œWe ran against a machine; we ran against a monster; we ran against all the lies.â€? The UAW has never fully organized an international automaker in the traditionally anti-union South, although it did persuade some maintenance workers to join at a Volkswagen AG plant in Tennessee. The UAWâ€™s lack of influence

among southern auto workers has reduced its bargaining power when Detroit automakers lose market share and close plants. After pouring resources into the organizing drive at Nissan, this loss could leave UAW leaders with tough decisions. â€œThe result of the election was a setback for these workers, the UAW and working Americans everywhere, but in no way should it be considered a defeat,â€? UAW President Dennis Williams said in a statement. Kristen Dziczek of the Center for Automotive Research said that although the UAW was the underdog, odds were unlikely to improve soon, as President Donald Trumpâ€™s appointees

take over the National Labor Relations Board. A corruption scandal involving union employees allegedly taking bribes from a former Fiat Chrysler executive also threatened to spread. Company spokeswoman Parul Bajaj said employeesâ€™ voice has been heard. â€œThey have rejected the UAW and chosen to selfrepresent, continuing the direct relationship they enjoy with the company,â€? she said in a statement. â€œOur expectation is that the UAW will respect and abide by their decision and cease their eďŹ€orts to divide our Nissan family.â€? UAW Secretary-Treasurer Gary Casteel had telegraphed the likelihood of new charges Monday, when he alleged illegal activity by the company. Among the claims: Nissan provided a faulty contact list to the union, it caused a contract worker to be filed because of his union support, and a manager told workers July 28 that they would lose benefits it they voted for a union.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Large rise in number of active leak probes WASHINGTON â€” Attorney General Jeff Sessions has pledged to clamp down in government leaks that he said undermine American security, taking an aggressive public stand after being called weak on the matter by President Donald Trump. The nationâ€™s top law enforcement official is citing no current investigations in which disclosures of information had jeopardized the country, but says the number of criminal leak probes had more than tripled in the early months of the Trump administration. Justice Department officials are reviewing guidelines put in place to make it difficult for the government to subpoena journalists about their sources, and arenâ€™t ruling out the

possibility that a reporter could be prosecuted. â€œNo one is entitled to surreptitiously fight to advance their battles in the media by revealing sensitive government information,â€? Sessions said Friday in an announcement that followed a series of news reports this year on the Trump campaign and White House that have relied on classified information. â€œNo government can be effective when its leaders cannot discuss sensitive matters in confidence or talk freely in confidence with foreign leaders.â€? Media advocacy organizations condemned the announcement, with Bruce Brown, the executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, saying the decision to review existing guidelines was â€œdeeply troubling.â€?

The other suspect, Andrew Warren, a treasury assistant at one of Oxfordâ€™s residential colleges in England, was being held at the county jail in San Francisco. Both men surrendered separately and peacefully in the Bay Area on Friday evening. They had been fugitives since the body of 26-yearold Trenton James CornellDuranleau was found in Lathemâ€™s Chicago apartment on July 27.

BY DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON â€” Dozens of convicts serving time in U.S. prisons for terrorism-related oďŹ€enses are due to be released in the next several years, raising the question whether thatâ€™s something Americans should fear. Thereâ€™s no easy answer. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the United States has worked aggressively to foil attacks and has imprisoned hundreds of people who joined or helped militant groups. Experts say less attention has been paid to what happens once those prisoners complete their sentences. Among the incarcerated, according to the Bureau of Prisons, are 380 linked to international terrorism and 83 tied to domestic terrorism. A Congressional Research Service report said 50 â€œhomegrown violent jihadistsâ€? were to be released between last January and the end of 2026. And more are entering prison. Former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump in May, had told Congress that the bureau had more than 900 active investigations related to Islamic State and other extremist activity in all 50 states. Most of those convicted of terrorism-related crimes are held at the high-security U.S. penitentiary in Florence, Colorado, and federal prisons in Terre Haute, Indiana, and Marion, Illinois. Some are in for life, but the average sentence is 13 years. That means most will walk out of prison with years of freedom ahead. â€œThere were people I was with in prison who youâ€™d be happy to have as a neighbor because they were normal, reasonable people,â€? said Ismail Royer. He was released last December after serving more than 13 years on firearms charges connected to his work helping others get to a militant training camp in Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan territory claimed by India and Pakistan. â€œThe guys that Iâ€™m really, really concerned about are the loose cannons,â€? Royer said. Royer grew up in a Catholic family in suburban St. Louis. By the time he was 21, he had converted to Islam and was fighting alongside fellow Muslims in Bosnia. At 31, he was serving a 20-year sentence. Today, he lives in the Washington, D.C., area, works for the Center for Islam and Religious Freedom and wants to help nonextremist Muslim-Americans find their footing in American society. Behind bars, Royer got to know inmates arrested for only loose ties to terrorism. But he also met Richard Reid, the al-Qaida â€œshoe bomber,â€? and John Walker Lindh, an American captured in Afghanistan while fighting with the Taliban. Some were ensnared in sting operations, Royer said, or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Others were up to no good; Royer said he was happy the FBI arrested them.

FedEx to skip holiday surcharges Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — FedEx will skip special charges for most packages shipped during the holiday season this year as it seeks to undercut rival UPS in a fight for a larger share of the millions of items now bought online. FedEx Corp. said Thursday that it won’t charge extra for peakseason residential deliveries unless the package requires extra handling, such as for very large items. On an average day, FedEx delivers more than 12 million packages to businesses and homes, but that can jump to 25 million on peak days in December. Residential shipments represent a much smaller share of the company’s revenue, but they are growing faster because

of the rise of online shopping. Residential deliveries are relatively ineﬃcient because homes are so spread out and a driver might take one package to a house instead of several to a business — that raises costs for FedEx. The shipper, based in Memphis, Tennessee, said that from Nov. 20 through Dec. 24 it will add surcharges of $3 for packages needing special handling, $25 for oversized items, and $300 for

unauthorized shipments. FedEx’s announcement comes two months after UPS announced new sur-

charges that will impact shipments in some weeks near Black Friday and Christmas.
