Local funding sought BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Requests for funding are coming before the city and county as the two governments get ready to write budgets for fiscal 2016. Both the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors and the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen heard a number of requests from agencies in the past week: ■ Crossroads Museum is asking the city for $14,000, which would be an increase

from the currently budgeted $12,000. Director Brandy Steen said revenue from admissions and gift shop sales is on the decline. “A few years ago, just about every month, there was a tour bus that would come through and visit the museum,” she said. “That stopped. I’ve not seen but maybe three buses in two years.” While the Green Market is Please see FUNDING | 7A

Teacher reflects on 40 years BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — A shy, recently adopted little girl named Sandra had just started second grade. She was easily frightened by others and strange environ-

ments. A new school, different classroom and other children she had never met made it even harder for her. “Then I met my teacher and she took me under her wing. My whole world changed from that

day forward,” said the little girl who grew up to become one of Alcorn County’s best educators. In May, Sandra Steen ended her 40 years of teaching with Please see STEEN | 2A

Living in the city shouldn’t be without the opportunity to plant a garden and enjoy nature. That’s the idea behind Main Street Corinth’s planned community garden, which is in the early development stages. “We hope to have it partly functioning for the spring planting season,” said Main Street Director Brent Johnson. He said the concept fits with

Main Street’s goal to help make downtown Corinth “a great place to live, work and play.” The location will be at the corner of Polk and 5th Street near the Bishop Center on an empty lot made available by the city. “We want people to enjoy the benefits of nature,” said Johnson. “Just because you live in downtown Corinth doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to plant some cucumPlease see GARDEN | 6A

STEEN CONTINUED FROM 1A

Corinth native Sandra Steen recently ended her 40-year teaching career at Alcorn Central Elementary School.

almost all of her time spent at Alcorn Central Elementary School. “I have always had one of the greatest of jobs,” said Steen. “Some years have been harder than others, but I have always enjoyed them. I know without a question, I was always meant to teach.” It was Dorothy Tennyson, that second grade teacher at a West Point Elementary School, who helped Steen find her way. “I don’t think at that time I really knew I wanted to teach, but I knew I wanted to help people like Ms. Tennyson helped me,” Steen said. “I have always prayed every year that God would give me a child in my classroom who I would have that kind of impact on.” After college, Steen started her teaching career at a middle school in Hernando. “I taught seventh and eighth graders and honestly wouldn’t give anything for all the experiences I had,” she said. “I think every year, every different child has made me a better teacher.” The 20-year-old teacher headed to the Crossroads area after just five years in DeSoto County. She had just married her husband, Eddie, and the two had decided to settle in Corinth. Steen became a Golden Bear in 1980 and never turned back. She first taught gifted students, then fourth grade, first grade and, most recently, third grade. “With the self-contained classrooms, I have the same kids all year. I think that works better, because I was always able to get to know my kids more personally,” Steen said. “The kids become like a little family.” From early in her career, Steen was always

“I think every year, every different child has made me a better teacher.” Sandra Steen On 40-year career known as a risk taker or experimenter in the classroom. “If a way of teaching didn’t work one year, then I would do something different the next,” she said. “I’ve always had very trusting and understanding principals who have allowed me to do my own thing.” For current ACES Principal John Anderson, trusting Steen wasn’t an issue. “I’ve always thought Mrs. Steen was a great teacher,” Anderson said. It’s a unique relationship for both the new principal and his former teacher. Anderson was once a student of Steen’s in a fourth grade Alcorn Central class more than 20 years ago. “I can’t believe it, but I had a former student as my boss ...” said a smiling Steen. “He was a pretty good student, but he’s a really great principal.” Anderson said Steen’s teaching style is unmatched. “Sandra is an innovative instructor who is dedicated to presenting lessons that are highly engaging to her students,” said Anderson. “She has a great desire to see each individual student grow to their full potential. She is constantly researching new ideas and best practices to implement within her classroom and share with her colleagues.” In September 2013, less than nine months until her last day on the job, Steen had a change of

mind. “I couldn’t imagine myself not being connected to education in some form or fashion,” she said. “The idea of retirement was really bugging me. I’m not one to sit around the house ... I’ve got to be teaching someone something.” Steen applied for an educational related position with a state agency and she got the job. After 40 years in a classroom, a healthy 36year marriage and two grown children of her own, Steen started a new career on Aug. 3. “I have a great fascination for the teaching and helping people anyway I can,” she said. “If there are ways I can help our state excel education wise, then I want to do it.” One of the best things about the new gig — Steen will have the option to quit after one year. “If it’s something I don’t like and, Lord willing, I’m ready to retire, then I’ll retire,” she said. “But right now, I can’t wait for my new journey to begin. I’m very excited about what will come next.” “I think I just have teaching in my blood. I hear people say, ‘they were born a teacher’ — I don’t think I was born one, but I was sure impacted by one that changed my life for the better,” added Steen. “I just want my life to count for something, and so far, I think it has.” (Writers note: Even though we are cousins, I was still placed in Mrs. Steen’s 1989-90 first grade classroom at Alcorn Central. Some 25 years later, I can still remember my time spent in her classroom, learning how to appreciate the written word. She greatly impacted me and many others during her time as a teacher. Those purple hallways, I’m sure, won’t be the same without her.)

Booneville OKs sewer/water hikes BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington @dailycorinthian.com

BOONEVILLE — Booneville residents will pay more for city water and sewer services as officials seek to generate funds to repair aging infrastructure. Aldermen voted unanimously Tuesday to raise rates for water and sewer beginning with the September billing cycle. The minimum water bill will rise from $8 to $9 for up to 2,000 gallons. Usage over 2,000 gallons will go from $4.50 to $5 per 1,000 gal-

lons. The minimum sewer bill will move from $7.50 to $8.50 for up to 2,000 gallons. Sewer usage over 2,000 gallons per month will rise from $3.75 per 1,000 gallons. Mayor Derrick Blythe said any decision to increase costs for residents is difficult and they understand citizens may be unhappy but additional funds are necessary to deal with continuing problems developing due to the age of the system. “We’ve got a $160,000 repair project now on Cherry Street and we

have many more places like that. It’s going to keep popping up like that,” he said. While it may not be popular, he said it’s going to be much more unpopular when people have major sewer problems the city doesn’t have the funds to repair. Alderman Harold Eaton agreed saying they never want to increase the financial burden on residents, but they must be able to provide functional services. “We don’t want to do it, but we’ve got to,” he said.

Yellow Creek Port gets MDOT grant

Today is Sunday, August 9, the 221st day of 2015. There are 144 days left in the year.

IUKA — The Mississippi Transportation Commission recently approved the Mississippi Department of Transportation awarding grants to ports across the state for maintenance and improvement projects. Yellow Creek Port in Iuka was awarded $612,832 to extend existing rail spur at the Northeast Mississippi Waterway Industrial Park. “Mississippi’s ports and waterways system helps move local goods and services to the rest of the country, and even internationally,” said Transportation Commissioners Dick Hall, Tom King and Mike Tagert in a joint statement by the MTC. “Regardless of the goods that come across the docks of our ports, these grants will help make needed improvements that will continue to support local economic growth and development.” Other grants were given to ports in Columbus, Natchez, Bay St. Louis, Greenville, Pascagoula and Rosedale. MDOT’s responsibilities include maintaining and improving the state’s highways and

Clinic volunteers will provide advice, help prepare legal documents for participants, explain the filing process and advise what to say in court. “As attorneys, we are called to serve others, and this is a great opportunity to serve those who have a need which cannot be filled outside our profession,” said Attorney Lee Thorne of Iuka. “If we can take a small amount of our time to fulfill the need they have, we are happy to do it.”

for taking war artifacts of Fort McCook, also known as Battle Creek, which is located on TVA property along the Tennessee River in South Pittsburg. The men recovered Civil War Hotchkiss shells, which federal officials identified as pieces of artillery used during the war. In August 2009, the men also excavated Civil War-era U-rails from public property in Bridgeport. In March 2010, the two men transported and delivered a counterfeit “Sherman Bow-Tie” that was made from Civil War era U-rails that Fagin and Tate excavated from public property in Bridgeport. In August 2010, Fagin also excavated artifacts from Shiloh National Military Park, including a .57-caliber, three-ring rifle bullet; five fire threering rifle bullets and Schenkl artillery shell fragments. Neither man had the required permits to do such work, officials said. The archaeological act became law in 1979 to protect against the loss and destruction of archaeological resources found on public and Indian lands that are an “irreplaceable part of the nation’s heritage.” (This story distributed by the Associated Press was written by staff writer Ben Benton with the Times Free Press in Chattanooga, Tenn.)

SHILOH, Tenn. — Federal authorities announced the sentencing of two Tennessee men for illegally excavating Civil War artifacts from Fort McCook in Marion County, Tenn., Shiloh National Military Park and from another site in Bridgeport, Ala., according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Bill Killian’s office. Kenneth Stephen Fagin Jr., 39, of South Pittsburg, and Terry Bruce Tate, 61, of Manchester, both were sentenced July 30 by U.S. District Judge Curtis Collier to serve 30 months in federal prison. Authorities said Fagin was ordered to pay $22,463 in restitution to the Tennessee Valley Authority and the National Park Service to cover the cost of repairs. Tate was ordered to pay $21,619 in restitution to TVA. Once they’re released from federal prison, Fagin and Tate will serve a one-year term of supervised release. The pair pleaded guilty in February to multiple counts of violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act in Tennessee and Alabama federal jurisdictions. According to federal authorities, Fagin, Tate and others between September 2007 and July 2011 excavated Civil War artifacts from the bottom

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

CT-A seeks support: Let’s answer the call One of the attractions in any community are active and successful theatre and arts organizations. Corinth is fortunate to be one of those communities with the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery, Corinth Symphony Orchestra, Corinth Theatre-Arts and the Corinth Area Arts Council. All of these great organizations are constantly seeking support to bring active theatre and live arts to the community. We were saddened to learn last week that the Corinth Theatre-Arts was without a sponsor for its first show of the 2015-16 season — “Into the Woods.” The last minute set of unfortunate circumstances has CT-A looking to the community for support to get the theatre organization back on track for another exciting season on stage. An artistic outlet for children as well as adults, the Crossroads Playhouse has brought the fun and excitement of the performing arts to the Crossroads area since 1968. As in the words of CT-A Board of Directors President Cindi Bullard in an interview with the Daily Corinthian: “The theatre means so much to so may people.” So true. Opening their 2015-2016 season of murder, mystery and mayhem with a musical, the theatre has a great deal of work ahead of them. “A lot of people don’t realize musicals are our biggest undertaking. By the time we pay the artistic director, the music director and purchase the royalties, it usually runs us anywhere between $2,400 to $2,500 or sometimes even more,” the president told the Daily Corinthian. “In addition to royalties for the play, you also have to purchase a script for each actor because you aren’t allowed to make copies.” Additional costs for “Into the Woods” have also included a large orchestra with a music book for each musician, costumes, props, programs and other necessary items. With just a little under $3,000 to raise for the first production and an entire season to fund, CT-A is looking to the community for support. Here are a few suggestions: ■ Attend today’s 2 p.m. performance of “Into the Woods.” ■ If you missed last week’s shows and can’t go today, “Into the Woods” hits the Crossroads Playhouse again on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 16. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students. ■ When you attend, make a donation. Large or small, anything is appreciated. ■ Purchase seasons tickets. At $80 for the 2015-16 theatre season’s eight shows, it’s an entertainment bargain. They make great gifts. ■ Sponsor a show. There are various levels to fit any business, corporate or professional level. As a 501c3 non-profit, all donations to CT-A are tax deductible. To make a donation, anyone can do so by seeing any CT-A board member before or after the play or stop by the Crossroads Playhouse on Fulton Drive. Long live CT-A!

Obama bets nuke deal will change regime “Faute de mieux.” That means “for want of something better” in Secretary of State John Kerry’s second language. It’s also the best case made by its journalistic defenders for approval of the nuclear weapons deal Kerry negotiated with Iran. Or to be more exact, for rallying 34 votes in the Senate or 146 votes in the House to uphold a presidential veto of a congressional vote to disapprove. It’s a measure of the weakness of the deal that such a grudging argument is needed to rally such an unimpressive proportion of members of Congress. New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman, generally a supporter of Barack Obama’s policies, makes the “faute de mieux” argument explicitly. But he also adds some conditions — er, recommendations — to his endorsement, which aren’t likely to be congenial to the president. Put a tough military man in charge of seeking enforcement. Get Congress to pass an authorization for use of military force (AUMF) in case Iran cheats. Reach out to the Iranian people who, all indicators suggest, don’t like the mullahs’ regime. And, in the Middle East,

don’t tilt too far toward either Iran’s Shia or the Saudis’ and others’ Sunni allies. Michael That last Barone recommendation is Columnist hard to carry out. As The American Interest’s Walter Russell Mead argues, it’s only practicable to do two of the three following things: (1) reach a deal with Iran, (2) preserve alliances with the various Sunnis and (3) do nothing in Syria. Since No. 1 is done and No. 3 is clearly Obama’s preference, No. 2 seems doomed, despite Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s post-deal Middle East diplomacy. As for reaching out to the Iranian people, Obama refrained pointedly from doing so when the Green protests against the mullahs’ election frauds broke out in June 2009. At the time that seemed a puzzling decision: why not push, as Ronald Reagan did against the Soviets in Eastern Europe in the 1980s, in the direction of regime change? Six years later it seems not so puzzling.We should approach adversaries with

an open hand, as he said in his first inaugural address, if they are willing to unclench their fist. The nuclear deal with Iran, as Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes explained this spring, would be as important an accomplishment in the president’s second term as Obamacare was in his first. Friedman argues that the Iran deal gets the United States two good things. One is to prevent “Iran from producing the fissile material to break out with a nuclear weapon for 15 years.” No serious analyst thinks the mullah regime is averse to cheating. It has done so before and been caught — belatedly. And the inspection process seems full of holes. Iran is not required to document previous nuclear efforts. It is supposed to provide soil samples from nuclear sites to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). There is at least a 24day delay — quite possibly much more — between complaints of violations and inspections. The prudent course is to expect violations, expect them to go undetected or unconfirmed for lengthy periods and thus expect Iran

to move farther toward operational nuclear weapons than the deal contemplates. Moreover, under paragraph 36 of the agreement, Iran can abandon its obligations any time it complains that the other signatories have abandoned theirs. It’s not hard to imagine how such complaints could be concocted. That’s not likely to happen in the remaining 17 months of Obama’s term. But it could any time thereafter. Unless the deal, as Friedman hopes, “creates a context that could empower the more pragmatic forces inside Iran over time.” Obama’s entire Iran policy is based on the “conjecture” — historian Niall Ferguson’s word — that this deal will lead to beneficent regime change. That could prove right. But most American voters, most foreign policy experts and most members of Congress think not. (Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for 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.)

The plot to destroy Nixon In his new biography “Being Nixon: A Man Divided,” Evan Thomas concedes a point. Richard Nixon, he writes, “was not paranoid; the press and the ‘Georgetown set’ really were out to get him.” Carl Bernstein’s review found Thomas’ book deficient in its failure to chronicle the “endemic criminality” of the Nixon presidency. Yet, recent revelations suggest that “endemic criminality” is a phrase that might well be applied to the newsroom of The Washington Post when Bob Woodward and Bernstein worked there. Consider. In “All the President’s Men,” Woodward and Bernstein admit that, in collusion with Post editors and with the approval of Post lawyers, they approached half a dozen Watergate grand jurors. Admitting this was a “seedy venture,” they assured us no grand juror had violated his or her oath, and they got nothing. Yet, from recent books by Jeff Himmelman about Ben Bradlee, Max Holland about Mark Felt, a.k.a. “Deep Throat,” and Geoff Shepard’s “The Real Watergate Scandal: Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot That Brought Nixon Down,” out today, the truth is otherwise. Woodward and Bernstein deceived us about not breaching the grand jury.

They had. The source identified in their book as “Z,” a “woman ... in a position to have Pat considerable Buchanan knowledge of the secret acColumnist tivities of the White House and CRP [Committee to ReElect the President]” was a grand juror. Notes of Bernstein’s conversation with this woman were found by Himmelman in Bradlee’s files. Post editor Barry Sussman also told Alan Pakula, who made the movie starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, that Carl had breached the grand jury. What does this tell us? Woodward and Bernstein lied for four decades in denying their success in breaching the grand jury. And Bradlee knew they had been lying. When Post lawyer E.B. Williams had his ex parte contact with old friend Judge John Sirica, to put the fix in and get the judge not to expose or punish Woodward and Bernstein, Williams almost surely knew the reporters were lying. In his memoir, Judge Sirica reveals what he would have done had Bernstein and Woodward gotten a grand juror to violate his oath:

“Had they actually obtained information from that grand juror, they would have gone to jail.” Thus, Woodward and Bernstein, with the collusion of Post editors and lawyers, got a grand juror to violate her oath and spill secrets. Then Bradlee got E. B. Williams, godfather to Sirica’s daughter, to put the fix in with that compliant judge, and all of them covered up the conspiracy. In giving Woodward information from witness testimony to the grand jury, FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt was violating his oath and engaged in criminal misconduct, which, exposed, would have gotten him fired in disgrace and put in prison, and Woodward implicated as the beneficiary of his crimes. Woodward and Bernstein benefited mightily from the fruits of Felt’s criminality, getting a Pulitzer for the Post, and having their careers made by collusion with this corrupt civil servant and serial lawbreaker. Felt sought to cast acting FBI Director Pat Gray, an honorable man, as an incompetent who could not keep secrets. This would result in Gray being passed over for permanent director. With the FBI top job open, President Nixon would likely turn to — Deputy Director Mark Felt. Lovely fellow, that Felt.

Of all the Watergate offenses of the Nixon White House, the “Huston Plan” is often called the most terrifying. And what was the plan worked up by my old friend Tom Charles Huston in 1970? After Black Panthers began murdering cops and a Greenwich Village bomb factory — where an antipersonnel bomb was being prepared to massacre noncommissioned officers and their dates at a dance at Fort Dix – blew up, Huston, with CIA, National Security Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency backing, urged the reinstatement of FBI practices used from FDR to LBJ. These included warrantless wiretaps and surreptitious entries, “black-bag jobs,” to stem the epidemic of terror bombings. Nixon OK’d the plan, but rescinded his approval five days later after J. Edgar Hoover’s objection. And who had been in charge of FBI black-bag jobs in the LBJ era? Mark Felt. Maybe when Woodward met Deep Throat in that garage, Felt was just casing the place.

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

Trump barred from conservative meet ATLANTA â€” Donald Trump opened his mouth again and found the door closed to him Saturday at a high-profile gathering of conservative activists. His latest incendiary comment, about one of the Fox News moderators from Thursdayâ€™s Republican presidential debate, led to a scolding by some of his rivals and the party, and condemnation by organizers of the RedState Gathering. The billionaire businessman lashed out against Fox Newsâ€™ Megyn Kelly for her questions during the campaignâ€™s first debate. She had asked the candidate about his use of derogatory language toward women and whether it reflected the â€œtemperament of a man we should elect as president.â€? Referring to Kellyâ€™s questions, Trump told CNN in an interview late Friday, â€œThere was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.â€? Soon after the interview aired, RedStateâ€™s Erick Erickson booted Trump from the eventâ€™s Saturday lineup. â€œI just donâ€™t want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal. It just was wrong,â€? Erickson wrote on the RedState website. Â

Prosecutor charged with felony perjury NORRISTOWN, Pa. â€” Pennsylvaniaâ€™s top prosecutor barely spoke at her arraignment Saturday on charges including a felony count of perjury, but her attorney stressed afterward that she has no plans to resign, despite growing pressure even among her fellow Democrats. Attorney General Kathleen Kane did not enter a plea during the brief proceedings via closed-circuit television in suburban Philadelphia and only responded to the judge with yes or no. She said nothing when she left and avoided a phalanx of news cameras by going out a side door. Magisterial District Judge Cathleen Kelly Rebar set a preliminary hearing for Aug. 24 and set bail for $10,000 unsecured bond. Kane is accused of leaking secret grand

jury information through an operative to a newspaper reporter as payback for a former state prosecutor she thought made her look bad, and then lying about her actions under oath. Prosecutors say she also enlisted aides to spy on office employees and keep tabs on a grand jury probe into the leak. â€œWeâ€™re looking forward to fighting the charges,â€? defense lawyer Rost Kramer said in Norristown after the arraignment. â€œShe has no plans to resign from her position.â€? Â

ment. As the parade began, he took an armful of stuffed animals and placed them in the middle of the street where his son died. The U.S. Justice Department and a St. Louis County grand jury cleared Wilson, who resigned in November, of wrongdoing. A separate Justice Department investigation of Fergusonâ€™s justice system found evidence of a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias by police. Â

Brownâ€™s dad says family in mourning

CENTENNIAL, Colo. â€” James Holmes will spend the rest of his life in prison after at least one juror balked at the possibility of sentencing him to death for the massacre that claimed 12 lives and spawned a gut-wrenching four-month trial. Because the 12 jurors failed to unanimously agree that Holmes should be executed, he will be sentenced to life in prison without parole for the chilling 2012 attack on a midnight screening of a Batman movie that also left 70 injured. Nine jurors wanted to execute Holmes, but one was steadfastly opposed and two others wavering, a juror told reporters after the verdict was announced. â€œMental illness played into the decision more than anything else,â€? said the woman, who would not give her name. â€œAll the jurors feel so much empathy for the victims. Itâ€™s a tragedy.â€? The verdict shocked the courtroom. Holmesâ€™ mother, Arlene, who had begged jurors to spare his life, leaned her head against her husbandâ€™s shoulder and began sobbing. In the back, Aurora police officers who responded to the bloody scene of Holmesâ€™ attacks began crying.

FERGUSON, Mo. â€” On the eve of the anniversary of Michael Brown being shot and killed during a confrontation with a police officer, Brownâ€™s father said Saturday that the family is still mourning the 18-year-oldâ€™s death. Several weekend events are planned to commemorate Brownâ€™s death, Among them was a parade on Saturday led by Michael Brown Sr., starting at the memorial on Canfield Drive in Ferguson that marks the site where Brown was fatally shot by former officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. Time has not healed his wounds, Brown said before the procession, in which several hundred people, a drum corps and some cars joined in on the fivemile route to Normandy High School. â€œAt the end of the day, I still lost my boy,â€? he said. â€œIâ€™m still hurting. My familyâ€™s still hurting.â€? Brown said the anniversary brings back all of the grief and raw emotions, but that itâ€™s important to continue standing up to concerns about police brutality and the use of force. His sonâ€™s death helped spur a national â€œBlack Lives Matterâ€? move-

Police accuse man in shooting death MCCOMB â€” McComb police have filed seconddegree murder charges against a man in the fatal shooting of a 10-yearold boy. The Enterprise-Journal reported that Jaâ€™Darrius Wilkerson died Thursday of a gunshot wound to the head. Police Detective Shannon Sullivan says the boy and other children were left in the care of 22-year-old Willie Wilkinson Jr., identified as the Jaâ€™Darriusâ€™ cousin. Details have not been released for lead to the shooting. Sullivan says Jaâ€™Darrius lived with his grandparents and Willie Wilkinson had been staying there for two to three weeks. Officers arrested Willie Wilkinson at the scene for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and on probation violation warrants. Willie Wilkinson is currently being held at Pike County jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on the seconddegree murder charge. Â

Death row appeal goes back to court JACKSON â€” A state death row inmate is going back to a north Mississippi courtroom to again fight for a new trial. The Mississippi Supreme Court has ordered a Lowndes County judge to determine if the results of post-conviction DNA testing raise enough questions to jus-

tify a new trial for Eddie Lee Howard Jr. Howard, now 61, who was convicted and sentenced to death in the slaying of 84-year-old Georgia Kemp of Columbus. Evidence against him included bite marks on her body. The Supreme Court, in the order signed Thursday by Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr., makes no specific mention of Howardâ€™s challenge to the bite mark evidence that the inmate argues is now widely discredited in legal circles. Wallerâ€™s order directs the trial court to hold a hearing to determine if Howardâ€™s arguments of newly discovered evidence including the results of DNA testing could â€œprobably produce a different result or induce a different verdict if a new trial is granted.â€? The courtâ€™s order does not disclose what the DNA testing revealed. Howardâ€™s attorneys argue in briefs that DNA results do not connect Howard to the crime. Howard was convicted of raping and fatally stabbing Kemp in 1992. He was sentenced to death. Authorities said Kempâ€™s body, with two stab wounds to the chest, was found by Columbus firefighters when they answered a call to her house in 1992. A bloody butcher knife was found near the body. Kempâ€™s ankles were bound with nylon stockings and authorities found evidence that she had been raped, including a bite mark on her body, according to the court record.Â

Bond set for man in child porn case VICKSBURG â€” Bond has been set at $2 million for a man who authorities allege checked into casinos in the Mississippi and Louisiana under assumed identities and using their hotelsâ€™ free Wi-Fi connections to download hundreds of images of child pornography. Russell Haley, 65, of Gulfport faces a total of 50 counts of possession of child pornography. The Vicksburg Post reports affidavits read Friday in Warren County Justice Court show two of those counts are in Mississippi, and 48 are in Louisiana. Bond was set at $1 million in each state. Haley made no statements at Fridayâ€™s hearing other than to answer routine questions and ask for a court-appointed attorney. â€œThis has been in the works for several months,â€? Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said Haley was arrested Thursday at DiamondJacks Casino in Vicksburg. Warren County investigator Todd Dykes said when Haley was arrested he had several fraudulent pieces of identification including fake passports. The case was investigated by the sheriffâ€™s office, the Attorney Generalâ€™s Office Internet Crimes Against Children or ICAC Task Force, Louisiana State Police, and gambling regulators in both states. Investigators in both states discovered Haley had been visiting casinos over the past several months using aliases to rent rooms.

Funding decision may be revisited Associated Press

JACKSON — Some Mississippi school districts are asking a Hinds County chancery judge to reconsider his decision that legislators are not obligated to fully fund an education budget formula every year. Former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, who represents 21 school districts in the funding case, filed a motion recently. In July, Chancellor William Singletary rejected the for-

mer governor’s argument that state law mandates the Legislature fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that Musgrove argues in briefs that more credence should have been given to the Legislature’s constitutional obligation to public education. When it’s fully funded, MAEP is designed to provide each school district enough money to meet

midlevel academic standards. Collectively, the districts are seeking more than $240 million they said they were shortchanged during six state budget years, the most recent of which ended June 30. The lawsuit also sought an order that would have affected the entire state by making legislators fully fund a formula that was put into law in 1997 but has been ignored most years.

Volunteer CEO Robert Williams said The Alliance is also working with two existing industry expansion projects with 140 new jobs attached. ■ Main Street Corinth, which received $20,000 last year, is requesting $30,000. Director Brent Johnson said the organization invested more in entertainment for the Slugburger Festival this year and enjoyed larger crowds as a result. The organization is also taking on a community garden project as

work on the Wick Street pocket park wraps up. ■ The Corinth Area Arts Council, which manages the county-owned Corinth Coliseum Civic Center on Taylor Street, made a request to the county for level funding of $24,000. Cindy Mathis, representing the council, told supervisors the current priority project for the historic building is replacing the brass railings on the stairways to the stage. The city and county will finalize their budgets by Sept. 15 for the new fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.

hammered for a second day Thursday as Viacomâ€™s underwhelming earnings gave investors another reason to sell, after industry bellwether Disney earlier in the week trimmed a profit outlook due to more people cutting the cord on pay-TV packages. While there have long been signs consumers love online video distributors like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, itâ€™s the first time that signs of trouble for the traditional cable and satellite TV business have sent such a powerful shudder through the stock market. Disneyâ€™s stock dropped 11 percent since Tuesday, when it reported that it was trimming its forecast for TV subscriberfee profit growth through next year because of subscriber losses at its flagship ESPN sports network. Over two days, Viacom fell 21 percent, Time Warner dropped 10 percent, Discovery Communications slumped 9 percent, Twenty-First Century Fox fell 13 percent and Comcast fell 6 percent. CBS was down just 1 percent after mostly recovering from a slump on Wednesday. â€œQuestions around the death of pay TV are now front and center even if the size and pace of declines are likely being overstated by press and Street commentary,â€? wrote analyst Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson Research. Dish said Wednesday its satellite TV subscriber losses accelerated in the quarter through June, falling 81,000 to 13.9 million, nearly double the loss of 44,000 a year ago. Viacom Inc., which owns Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, reported Thursday that its profit fell in the most recent quarter. While that is largely due to a lack of big films this year, there have been questions about how it will handle a shift in how people consume media. Its shares have fallen 41 percent this year. â€œThere is no question that our industry is in the midst of significant change,â€? Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman told investors Thursday.
