State Briefs Associated Press
Mayor wants aides to live in town MCCOMB — Mayor Whitney Rawlings said he wants city department heads to live inside the McComb city limits, a stance that could narrow the field of candidates as the city searches for police and fire chiefs. The police and fire departments are in the hands of interim leaders. Police Chief Greg Martin and Fire Chief B.J. Nettles both retired Aug. 31. Deputy Chief Stephen Adams has been named interim fire chief until while Deputy Police Chief Scott McKenzie is serving as interim police chief. Both live outside city limits, as do most McComb police officers and firefighters. Rawlings’ position would mean the interim chiefs and others in the departments wouldn’t be eligible for the jobs if an ordinance requiring residency is enacted by the Board of Selectmen. The current ordinance has no requirement. “When this ordinance was put in place, I don’t think that they perceived that 30 years later, almost the entire police and fire department
would live outside of McComb,” Rawlings said. “I think they were trying to include a few candidates, but now it’s the whole department.” Rawlings said he wants to amend the ordinance that sets residency requirements for city officials. As it stands, all city employees must live within an 18-mile radius of McComb but cannot live in Louisiana.
3-year-old dies; was found in vehicle HATTIESBURG — The Forrest County sheriff is investigating the death of a 3-year-old boy who was found in a hot vehicle. Coroner Butch Benedict tells the Hattiesburg American that Cameron Shaw likely overheated in the vehicle parked at a home by U.S. Highway 49 near the Stone County and Forrest County line. Benedict says first responders couldn’t find a pulse before taking the child to Stone County Hospital in Wiggins, where he died. Forrest County Sheriff Billy McGee says the death was an accident, but investigators are trying to determine whether to bring charges against the mother. He says her
account of what happened left lingering questions and authorities were waiting for results of a drug test.
Clarke has 3rd fire fatality in 3 weeks QUITMAN — Investigators are still trying to identify a woman who was killed in a house fire early Friday in east Mississippi. Clarke County Coroner Greg Fairchild tells The Associated Press on Saturday that authorities don’t have a positive identification of the body found in the rubble. It was Clarke County’s third fire death in three weeks. The home was owned by a 60-year-old woman. It was in the Matherville community in south Clarke County, near the Wayne County line. Sheriff Todd Kemp says he didn’t immediately know whether the home had smoke alarms. It was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived about 6:30 a.m. Friday. A neighbor reported the fire.
Two pedestrians killed on highway OCEAN SPRINGS — Authorities say a man
and a young boy were killed Friday night when they were trying to walk across a south Mississippi highway and were struck by a sport utility vehicle. Mississippi Highway Patrol Cpl. Jason Gazzo says 43-year-old said Jeffrey Dogget and 4-year-old Brandon Campo were trying to cross state Highway 609 near St. Martin at about 9 p.m., when they were hit by a 2006 GMC Yukon. The man and the boy, both from Ocean Springs, died at the scene. Gazzo says they were not related. Gazzo says a preliminary investigation showed alcohol was not a factor in the crash. The driver’s name was not released.
Parish opposes dam proposal COVINGTON, La. — A plan to dam the Pearl River in Jackson, Miss., to alleviate flooding and create a lake there has drawn opposition from the St. Tammany Parish government and environmental leaders, who fear the project would damage Louisiana wetlands and threaten marine life.

Parish Council on Thursday passed a resolution opposing the project and will seek a meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers about the proposal. The resolution said the Rankin-Hinds Flood Control District and the Pearl River Vision Foundation are considering construction of a dam and creating a 1,500-acre lake on the Pearl River in Jackson. The reduced water flow could eliminate 1,500 acres of wetland and more than 1,500 acres of forest in Louisiana, adversely impact the swamp tour industry and possibly jeopardize three endangered species of wildlife. It would also affect the salinity levels in the Mississippi Sound and cause problems for the oyster populations in Louisiana and Mississippi, the resolution said. Andrew Whitehurst of the Gulf Restoration Network said the plan, which would control flooding but also create development opportunities along a lake, would dredge and widen the Pearl River in Jackson from its current width of 250 feet to 1,500 feet. The lake and a cross-channel weir, or low-head dam, would be near the Interstate 20 Pearl River Bridge, he said.
Brookhaven OKs tigher budget BROOKHAVEN — Some programs and positions have been eliminated in a trimmeddown budget for 20132014 fiscal year in Brookhaven. The Daily Leader reports reports the budget was approved by the Board of Aldermen this past week. It projects expenditures of about $12.8 million in the fiscal year
that begins Oct. 1, down from the $13.5 million budget of the previous year. In the new budget, salaries of city employees and the aldermen are frozen. More than 50 percent of the city budget consists of salaries and insurance. New items in the budget include $5,000 for recycling initiatives and $50,000 that is set aside for future parks among other things. Services that consumed a chunk of last year’s budget are not in the one approved for 2013-2014, helping the city cut back on spending.
Construction begins at long-delayed park NETTLETON — Construction has begun on a long-delayed children’s park at a 2.5-acre site donated by a local resident. Doris Causey — who gave Nettleton the land four years ago — told WTVA she lived at the site with her family for more than four decades. “I can’t wait,” Causey said. “It’s prayers answered.” Progress on converting the site into a park has been on hold for several years because of a shortage of funding. Causey has worked with city leaders to secure grants to help build the park, and has gotten some help from her neighbors. “The community itself is very supportive of it,” Mayor Jimmy Taylor said. “It has just been awfully difficult to actually get anything started.” Site work has started and is expected to be completed in about two weeks. All that is needed to complete the park is money for playground equipment.
