Friday night’s rainfall put local creeks to the test with one of the bigger 24-hour totals on record for the city. Drainage commissioner Milton Sandy Jr. said he was very surprised to find more than 6 inches of rainfall in the gauge at his office Saturday morning. “This places it in the record for one of the top 10 24-hour rainfall events in the last 111 years,” he said. Corinthweather.net, which has a gauge on North Madison Street, recorded 4.97 inches on Friday and 0.95 inches on Saturday, for a total of 5.92 inches for the duration of the event. That’s more than fell on May 2, 2010, the date of major flooding in the city. That day saw 5.68 inches. There are notable differences in the scenarios — May 1, 2010, also had significant rainfall, while the Corinth area has recently been experiencing a dry spell. “People have asked me over the years whether I really believed cleaning out the canals would help prevent flooding,” said Sandy. “We have had relatively few significant rainfall events to test the theory since May 2, 2010, but Friday night was certainly one of them. Not only was it a significant volume but also pretty intense over a relatively short period of time from 8 to 12 Friday night and then until 3 or 4 in the morning. There is no question in my mind that if nothing had been done, we would have

Officials look to purchase as possible game changer BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Local officials hope to provide an economic game changer with Monday’s purchase of 417 acres of land for marketing to industry. It is envisioned as a new industrial park setting that offers ample rail access while putting a larger parcel of land into the portfolio, potentially opening

the door to bigger projects. The Alliance’s land purchase, backed by six local banks, closed Monday on the property which has frontage on U.S. Highway 72 and is near the Kimberly Clark Parkway. Officials gathered in a field off Barnstable Road to make the announcement. “About a year ago, we began at The Alliance to look and

see what we could do to really improve Corinth’s chance of landing industrial prospects,” said Reece Terry, chairman of the Economic Development Council. “One thing that came to light virtually every time we talked to professional developers and successful communities was that we needed more product — that product being in large-

Free job City mulls possible fates of old school properties fair starts up today BY JEBB JOHNSTON

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen is trying to keep the South, East and West Corinth school properties out of the city’s hands. In a special meeting Mon-

day, the board voted to seek an attorney general’s opinion on whether the city can relinquish the reverter clause which has come to light as the Easom Outreach Foundation attempts to take over the South Corinth campus. The

reverter clause in the deed of each school states that when the property stops being used as a school, it returns to city ownership. The board also voted to undo a motion it made in a recent meeting when a con-

tract with Easom Outreach was presented. For several years, Easom Outreach has been working toward creating a community center at the South Corinth campus.

Mission Mississippi makes tour stop in Alcorn County BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The mission isn’t complete. The effort to promote racial unity through Jesus is an ongoing effort. Mission Mississippi made its stop in the county on Sunday as part of its “Mississippi Glowing for Christ” trek across the state. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the organization is making its way to all 82 counties in the state. On Sunday, local individuals came together as a show of unity for the cause. “It was a great event,” local Mission Mississippi chapter facilitator Bobby Capps. “In a big picture, what Mission Mississippi is doing is saying what happened on Calvary makes us all equal through Jesus … it doesn’t matter whether we are black, white or yellow, we are all part of the same family in Christ.”

Lawmakers face long budget writing process Associated Press

JACKSON— Now that budget hearings are over, Mississippi lawmakers face a long process of deciding how to spend tax dollars for fiscal 2015, which begins July 1. The 14 members of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee held four days of public hearings last week and quizzed agency leaders about how money is already being spent on programs large and small. “I think that’s the job we’ve now got — to evaluate how they’re spending their money, what did they get, what did they spend it on last year, what do they plan to spend it on next year, why is there an in-

crease, what do they want that money for,” House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said after the hearings ended. “Those are the kinds of questions that we now have to evaluate and make judgment calls on.” In December, the committee will release a budget blueprint, and Republican Gov. Phil Bryant will release his own separate set of spending recommendations. All 122 House members and 52 senators will vote on a final budget by late March or early April, if they stay on schedule. Mississippi’s current budget is about $5.8 billion. State economist Darrin Webb predicts Missis-

“It’s unacceptable. It’s an embarrassment to us.” Ed Morgan Commissioner sippi will continue to see modest growth, and lawmakers say the 2015 budget will be slightly larger. A few agencies are seeking budget decreases, but most requested an increase of about 5 percent to 25 percent. The Department of Revenue requested a 66 percent increase, with Commissioner Ed Morgan saying the department needs to hire more employees. He said the department had answered only 26 percent of custom-

er calls in the past year. “It’s unacceptable,” Morgan said. “It’s an embarrassment to us.” The Department of Public Safety requested a 45 percent increase, and lawmakers grilled DPS executives about pay raises and vehicles. Several lawmakers said DPS has not fulfilled promises to replace outdated vehicles that state troopers are driving. Commissioner Albert Santa Cruz said the agency bought 15 vehicles for one

of its divisions, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. Budget writers also questioned the Forestry Commission about multiyear financing to buy radios for a statewide emergency communications system, and asked the director of the state Wireless Communication Commission whether local governments or other users should pay fees to be on the system. The Department of Education sought full funding of the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, as required by law. Although lawmakers were generally cordial about the request, House Ap-

propriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, said other parts of government would be shortchanged if legislators pump an additional $264.5 million into MAEP, as requested. The formula is designed to ensure that schools receive enough money to meet midlevel academic standards. It was put into law in 1997 and phased in over several years, but has been fully funded only two years. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican who heads the Budget Committee, said “the vast majority” of agency directors presented wish lists that were “somewhat reasonable and somewhat rational in size.”

then with utilities close to it, it’s not a real easy find.” This land is traversed by Norfolk Southern’s busy Crescent Corridor main line and the short line Redmont Railway. It also has ample water, natural gas and electrical

capacity, with a nearby TVA transmission line offering 60 megawatts of excess capacity. “We essentially are going to get two 100-acre sites on rail, which is very good for us,” said Chandler. “It puts us in a position to compete for projects that we really have

not been able to compete for.” Alliance CEO Brett Marlar said the property could possibly provide three separate site locations. The Alliance continues to see requests for sites with rail and 100 to 150 acres. “Now we have two of those with every piece

of data that a company could request ready to go,” said Marlar. Corinth and Alcorn County elected officials are optimistic about the prospects. “This is a significant step in the right direction in our quest for industrial recruiting,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin.

“I think this is going to open us up to a lot of industry looks that we didn’t get before,” said Board of Supervisors President Lowell Gann. Immediate development plans include improvements to the access road and clearing 15 to 30 acres near the Norfolk Southern main line.

The Alliance expressed thanks to the banks for making the purchase possible — Commerce National Bank, BancorpSouth, Trustmark Bank, SOUTHBank, Renasant Bank and Home Banking Company. A new Alliance industrial fund drive is beginning to support the purchase.

Teach God’s Word Men and women should exercise watchful and pain-staking care in verifying messages that are represented to be the messages of God. Many Old Testament teachers were very careful about what they taught being the true message of God. Gideon was such a one. He judged Israel 40 years as the 5th judge—Judges 6;7;8. Without doubt Gideon is among the brightest and enlightening of O.T. history. One of his great missions relates to the deliverance of Israel from the Midianites and their allies. He rallies his own family, then his own tribe, then neighboring tribes, as he prepares to deliver Israel. Yet, he has genuine hesitation over his calling. Is God really with Israel? He lays a fleece of wool on the floor and ask the Lord to let the fleece be wet with dew and the floor dry. It was so. Then he ask the Lord—that the earth be wet and the fleece be dry. It was so. Now, he has the assuring token that God was with him. Gideon wanted to be sure that he was acting with God’s authority and support, not simply on some vague feeling. God speaks to man today through His Son Jesus. The New Testament— written by inspired men—2 Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21. Man needs to exercise caution and teach the “Lord’s Way.” The Holy Spirit never speaks of Himself and would not dare express His opinion, but always repeats what He has received from the Father and the Son. We meet a great many people who tell us that they would “just as soon go to one church group as another.” For them, “going to some church groups” is not a matter of conviction but one of convenience. The sad mistakes that have been made by misguided men in all ages. Some even imagine in their own heart that they have received a special vision from the Holy Spirit. “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed”—Gal1:8. Paul repeated himself in v-9. These are those who fall in with every kind of teaching because they think that such a course is open minded. Many times they rest in the illusion that one’s being able to lend approval to every kind of church group is a sign of abundant and never-failing faith. Acting without Bible authority is not a sign of strong faith, but the evidence of a weak indifferent - unstable faith. Read II Peter 1:5-11. The last night—Campaign for Christ 7PM—Welcome

Firearms Rally

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Sept. 24, the 267th day of 2013. There are 98 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Sept. 24, 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.

State Representative Tracy Arnold (center) visits with shoppers at the booth for Jessie James Outpost outdoor and sporting goods store during the Stand Your Ground Freedom Rally Saturday at Crossroads Regional Park.

On this date: In 1789, Congress passed a Judiciary Act, which provided for an attorney general and a Supreme Court. In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as Black Friday after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market. In 1929, Lt. James H. Doolittle guided a Consolidated NY-2 Biplane over Mitchel Field in New York in the first all-instrument flight. In 1948, Mildred Gillars, accused of being Nazi wartime radio propagandist “Axis Sally,” pleaded not guilty in Washington, D.C., to charges of treason. Gillars, later convicted, ended up serving 12 years in prison. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack while on vacation in Denver. In 1961, “Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color” premiered on NBC. In 1963, the U.S. Senate ratified a treaty with Britain and the Soviet Union limiting nuclear testing. In 1969, the trial of the “Chicago Eight” (later seven) began. Five of the defendants were later convicted of crossing state lines to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, but the convictions were ultimately overturned. In 1991, kidnappers in Lebanon freed British hostage Jack Mann after holding him captive for more than two years. Children’s author Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, died in La Jolla, Calif., at age 87. In 2001, President George W. Bush ordered a freeze on the assets of 27 people and organizations with suspected links to terrorism, including Islamic militant Osama bin Laden, and urged other nations to do likewise.

Ten years ago: After four turbulent months, three special legislative sessions and two Democratic walkouts, both houses of the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature adopted redistricting plans favoring the GOP. The top candidates vying to replace California Governor Gray Davis joined in a lively debate.

Five years ago: Officials reopened Galveston, Texas, to residents who were warned about Hurricane Ike’s debris and disruption of utilities. Japanese lawmakers elected Taro Aso, leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, prime minister.

Singer/songwriter Bill Beaty performs Saturday morning during the Stand Your Ground Freedom Rally at Crossroads Regional Park hosted by the Alcorn County Patriots.

Jay Anthony, a member of the Alcorn County Patriots and one of the organizers of Saturday’s Stand Your Ground Freedom Rally at Crossroads Regional Park, takes tickets for door prizes being given away during the event. The rally was held to celebrate the official passage and implementation of Mississippi’s open carry gun law (House Bill 2). The day featured speeches from local legislators and government officials, a reaffirmation of the oath to the Constitution led by the president of Mississippi Oath Keepers and displays from a variety of area businesses and political figures. There were also refreshments, inflatable games for kids and more. Shelby Pratt opened the event with a performance of the national anthem. House Bill 2 went into effect Aug. 29 after the state supreme court unanimously upheld the bill and removed an injunction issued by a Hinds County Circuit Court preventing the bill from going into effect as planned on July 1.

The board is concerned the properties will become a drain on the taxpayers. Concerns have also been voiced about whether Easom Outreach can afford to

maintain the South Corinth campus. School board President Ann Walker told the mayor and aldermen that she is not in favor of seeing the South Corinth campus sold. “I’d like to see them

try to make a go of it,” said Walker. Alderman Ben Albarracin said he wants more information on the Easom Outreach Foundation’s plans. If East Corinth and West Corinth are sold, the board is also con-

cerned about protecting the integrity of those neighborhoods. Superintendent Lee Childress said the school district shares that concern. Recent inquiries suggest the East Corinth property could sell eas-

ily, Childress said. A prospect is interested in the West Corinth campus but does not have the funding for it. The school district vacated the three campuses upon the opening of Corinth Elementary School on Droke Road.

According to Capps, around 75 attended the event on the steps of the Alcorn County Courthouse. Rev. Christopher Traylor with Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church led the group in a devotion following opening remarks by Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin. Members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) are responsible for caring the six-foot lighted cross from county to county. “The South has a lot of painful stories,” said Capps. “Mission Mississippi opens all of our understanding and allows us to have conversations with one another … it’s very helpful to the community and myself.” Mission Mississippi’s celebration services are being held to not only bring people together of different races, but also different denominations to celebrate racial reconciliation and healing.

Corinth, Miss.

Bell case returned to Forrest County BY JACK ELLIOTT JR JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court is giving Charles Sylvester Bell a chance to argue that he can’t be tried twice for the same crime. Bell says prosecutors used an armed robbery charge to support the pursuit of a death sentence. When the death sentence was overturned, Bell was re-sentenced to life in prison. Then, prosecutors indicted him separately for armed robbery, got a conviction and Bell was sentenced to 25 years as a habitual offender. Bell calls it double jeopardy. Black’s Law Dictionary defines double jeopardy as “the fact of being prosecuted or sentenced twice for substantially the same offense” — in this case, armed robbery. Prosecutors say Bell waived his Fifth Amendment double jeopardy rights. The state Supreme Court told a Forrest County judge to sort it out. The Supreme Court says if the judge sides with prosecutors, he is to determine if Bell’s waiver of rights was constitutionally permissible. A ruling on a constitutional question would bring Bell back before the Supreme Court. It is a roundabout way to perhaps get a not unfamiliar issue settled conclusively. Bell was originally sentenced to death in 1977 in the slaying of D.C. Haden, but that sentence was overturned by a federal appeals court in 1982. In 1984, Bell pleaded guilty to a new indictment of armed robbery as a habitual offender to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to serve 25 years on that charge and life imprisonment for the capital murder conviction. A Forrest County judge ruled in 2011 that Bell waited too long to file a post-conviction petition. The state Court of Appeals upheld the Forrest County judge’s decision last year. Bell — in a handwritten 18-page brief — and prosecutors each cite the same case, Rowland v. State of Mississippi from 2010. According to court records, Rowland pleaded guilty to two counts of armed robbery and to two counts of capital murder that occurred in 1979. In 2007, Rowland argued in a postconviction petition that he should not have been convicted of armed robbery at the same time armed robbery was used by prosecutors to support the capital murder charges. In 2012, the Supreme Court tossed out the robbery convictions in the decades-old capital murder case. It said Rowland was placed in double jeopardy when he was convicted of capital murder during the armed robberies of two people and separately for the armed robberies of the same two people. “The remedy for such a double-jeopardy violation is to vacate the armed-robbery convictions and sentences,” wrote Justice Michael Randolph. Bell says his appeal is a “mirror image” of Rowland’s and he should get the same consideration. Prosecutors say the two cases are nothing alike. “In Rowland, the record failed to reflect that Rowland had been advised of his constitutional rights, specifically his Fifth Amendment right against double jeopardy. “In this case, this court has already determined ... that the trial court thoroughly questioned Bell regarding his desire to plead guilty and that his attorneys had advised him of his constitutional and statutory rights, which he waived. The court found that Bell pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty,” prosecutors said. Bell argues “a plea of guilty does not waive double jeopardy.” He says double jeopardy is also an exception from the three-year limitation on the filing of post-conviction petitions. “The double jeopardy issue is a fundamental Constitutional right ... and a claim of illegal sentence or denial of due process in sentencing also must be considered regardless of when it is raised,” Bell said. “Surely, this is cause enough to overcome a bar that should have been applied in the first place.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Jack Elliott Jr. is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Trying to defund Obamacare high risk investment This has been the worst time, politically, for President Barack Obama since he took office. Recent polls reveal that public confidence in both his domestic and foreign policies has been falling, amid revelations about their defects and dangers. Even people who once supported and defended him have now turned against him. There have even been rumblings against Barack Obama in the Congressional Black Caucus and among labor unions that were a major factor in helping him get elected and re-elected. Two of President Obama’s own former Secretaries of Defense have publicly criticized his gross mishandling of the Syria crisis, which has emboldened America’s enemies and undermined our allies around the world. As ObamaCare continues to go into effect, step by step, its high costs and dire consequences for jobs have become ever more visible -as have the lies that Obama blithely told about its costs and consequences when it was rushed into law too fast for anyone to see that it would become a “train wreck,” as one of its initial Democratic supporters in the Senate has since called it.

As more and more revelations have come to light about the cynical dangerThomas and ous misuse Sowell of the InterColumnist nal Revenue Service to harass and sabotage conservative political groups, the lies that the Obama administration initially told about this, as part of the coverup, have also been exposed. So have the lies told about what happened in Benghazi when four Americans were killed last year. Their killers remain at large, though they are known and are even giving media interviews in Libya. With Congressional investigations still going on, and turning up more and more revelations about multiple Obama administration scandals, the political problems of this administration seem to loom ahead as far out as the eye can see. What could possibly rescue Barack Obama from all these political problems and create a distraction that takes all his scandals off the front page? Only one thing: the Republicans.

By making a futile and foredoomed attempt to defund ObamaCare, Congressional Republicans have created the distraction that Obama so much needs. Already media attention has shifted to the possibility of a government shutdown. Politically, it doesn’t matter that the Republicans are not really trying to shut down the government. What matters is that this distraction solves Barack Obama’s political problems that he could not possibly have solved by himself. Should ObamaCare be defunded? Absolutely. It is an economic disaster and will be a medical disaster, as well as destroying the Constitution’s protections of American citizens from the unbridled power of the federal government. For that matter, President Obama deserves to be impeached for arbitrarily waiving laws he doesn’t like, in defiance of his oath of office and the Constitution’s separation of powers. Chief Justice John Roberts also deserves to be impeached for his decision upholding ObamaCare, by allowing the government’s taxing power to override all the Constitution’s other provisions protecting American citizens from the

arbitrary powers of government. But, for the same reason that it makes no sense to impeach either President Obama or Chief Justice Roberts, it makes no sense to attempt to defund ObamaCare. That reason is that it cannot be done. The world is full of things that ought to be done but cannot in fact be done. The time, effort and credibility that Republicans are investing in trying to defund ObamaCare is a high risk, low yield investment. Even if, by some miracle, the Republicans managed to get the Senate to go along with defunding ObamaCare, President Obama can simply veto the bill. There is a United States of America today only because George Washington understood that his army was not able to fight the British troops everywhere, but had to choose carefully when and where to fight. Futile symbolic confrontations were a luxury that could not be afforded then and cannot be afforded now.

Biden remains mysterious on a possible 2016 run BY ROGER SIMON INDIANOLA, Iowa — Joe Biden spoke for about a half-hour at Tom Harkin’s steak fry here Sunday, Sept. 15 which for Biden is barely a clearing of the throat. But it was more of what he didn’t say that counted. He lavishly praised his host, Harkin, who is retiring from the Senate in 2015. And he lavishly praised his president, who will be retiring in 2017. He praised San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who shared the stage with him and may be beginning a brilliant national career. He even reserved one line of praise for a man who hasn’t been getting all that much praise lately. “I think John Kerry has been one of the best secretaries of state in the history of America,” Biden, a man not capable of understatement, said. But how about Hillary Clinton, who recently held that job? How about Hillary Clinton, who some think will run for president in 2016? For her, Biden had not a single word.

Is it because he intends to run against her? Or that he just forgot? Or that he couldn’t name everybody in government -- though Biden sometimes seems to try? The Harkin steak fry -at which no steak has ever been fried; they are grilled -- is no ordinary event. And when Biden was invited to headline the event this year, it set tongues wagging. Was this an invitation to open his 2016 campaign? Biden gave no hint, only a bit of devilish humor. Turning to Castro, Biden said, “It seems when you come to speak at the steak fry, a whole lot of people take notice. I don’t know why the hell that is. You’ve attracted the entire national press corps!” The national press corps -- or a reasonable fraction of it -- did not turn out for Castro, of course. They came out to see whether Joe was going to go for the big brass ring once again. At breakfast Sunday morning, attended by two reporters from The Washington Post and me, Castro said, “My hope is that Hill-

ary and Biden work it out. Should we have a primary fight? Of course not!” You can argue it either way. Primaries sharpen candidates and get them ready for the general election, or they so bloody candidates that they are exhausted before the general election even begins. A 2016 primary battle between Biden and Clinton might merely be a pressdriven fantasy, of course. There is no doubt both have earned the right to run, but there is no assurance that either will. And if Hillary decided to run, would her prospects of victory be so daunting that Biden wouldn’t even think of challenging her? Biden could have set minds to rest either way that Sunday, but he chose mystery instead. After a goofy photo op -Harkin, Biden and Castro holding steaks on spatulas over an enormous roaring grill -- a reporter asked Biden whether he is ready for 2016. “I’m ready for some House and Senate seats in 2014,” Biden replied.

That would be nice for the Democrats but far from assured. They could lose seats in both houses rather than gain them. But Castro, at breakfast, was certain that time favors his party. “Right now, the Democratic Party has a broader coalition than the Republican Party,” he said. “When you think of the hoops a Republican has to jump through for his base compared to ours! The Democrats will win anyway in 15 years (because of demographic changes in the electorate), but we’ve got to accelerate it.” And Castro, who turned 39 on Monday, may play a role in that acceleration. As well as seasoned warhorses such as Biden, 70, and Hillary, 65, the Democrats have a number of relative youngsters gnawing at the bit. “The downside of a young, up-and-coming bench is that everybody is ambitious,” Castro said. “And nobody wants to lose.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Roger Simon is Politico’s chief political columnist.)

US edges closer to high-level talks NEW YORK â€” The Obama administration edged close to direct, high-level talks with Iranâ€™s new government on Monday, with Secretary of State John Kerry slated to meet his Iranian counterpart this week and the White House weighing the risks and rewards of an encounter between President Barack Obama and Iranâ€™s president, Hasan Rouhani. An Obama-Rouhani exchange on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly would mark the first meeting at that high level for the two nations in more than 30 years. Such talks could signal a turning point in U.S.-Iranian relations â€” but also could be seen as a premature endorsement for a new Iranian government that has yet to answer key questions about the future of its disputed nuclear program. Obama advisers said no meeting was scheduled. But they added that the U.S. planned to take advantage of diplomatic opportunities while in New York and indicated they were not leaving a possible encounter between Obama and Rouhani to chance. â€œI donâ€™t think that anything would happen by happenstance on a relationship and an issue that is this important,â€? Ben Rhodes, Obamaâ€™s deputy national security adviser, told reporters

traveling with the president to New York. The election of Rouhani, a moderate cleric, has led to speculation about possible progress on Iranâ€™s nuclear impasse with the U.S. Particularly intriguing to American officials are Rouhaniâ€™s assertions that his government has â€œcomplete authorityâ€? in nuclear negotiations. That would be a marked change from previous governments and their relationship with Iranâ€™s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Â

Navy officials look to close safety gaps WASHINGTON â€” Navy officials are moving to close gaps in the security clearance process, recommending that all police reports involving an individual must be included when a background check is done. A week after a former Navy reservist gunned down 12 workers at the Washington Navy Yard, officials said the background report given to the Navy failed to reveal that he had shot out the tires of another personâ€™s car during a 2004 dispute in Seattle. Instead, the report said Aaron Alexis â€œdeflatedâ€? the tires, and did not mention the use of a gun. Defense officials have acknowledged that a lot of red flags were missed in Alexisâ€™ background, allowing him to maintain a secret security clearance and work as a Navy contractor despite a string of

police and behavioral problems. Â

Officials book 2 for drugs in Prentiss

Official at center of scandal retiring

BOONEVILLE â€” Authorities in Prentiss County authorities say two Booneville men were booked Friday in separate drug investigations. Sheriff Randy Tolar tells WTVA that 48-year-old Billy Wayne Prentiss was booked with manufacture and possession of a controlled substance. Tolar says investigators found a methamphetamine lab on his property. Separately, Tolar says investigators booked Frederick 42-yearold Eugene Ragin with three counts of sale of a controlled substance.

WASHINGTON â€” Facing a possible firing, the Internal Revenue Service official at the center of the agencyâ€™s tea party scandal retired Monday, ending one chapter in a scandal that has engulfed the tax-collection agency since spring. Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status when she was placed on paid leave in May. While she was in charge, the agency acknowledged that agents improperly targeted tea party groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections. Lerner first disclosed the targeting at a law conference in May, when she was asked a planted question about IRS treatment of political groups. Less than two weeks later, she refused to answer questions at a congressional hearing, citing her constitutional right not to incriminate herself. A day after the hearing she was placed on paid leave at the age of 62. Lernerâ€™s retirement came as a review board was set to propose that she be fired, said a statement by Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

Airport upgrading for larger aircraft COLUMBUS â€” Golden Triangle Regional Airport has obtained $3.4 million in grants to pay for upgrades to the airportâ€™s runway and taxiway and widening of the exits and entrances from the runway to the taxiway. Airport executive director Mike Hainsey told WTVA the work should allow the airport to handle larger aircraft with greater safety. â€œWe might be able to take larger ones, such as 767-type aircraft. They have an A340 that we would have to evaluate once the workâ€™s done. Weâ€™ll have engineers take a look at what we can take,â€? Hainsey said. The airport currently can accommodate aircraft as large as a Boeing 757 or Airbus A320. The work is expected to

start in October and take about 90 days to complete. Engineers will evaluate the impact of the runway and exists work and then advise airport officials about the capacity to land larger aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration is picking up about 90 percent of the cost, with the rest coming from Mississippi Department of Transportation and the airport. Â

Casino revenue shows slight rise JACKSON â€” Mississippi casino revenue rose slightly in August compared to the same month last year. Mississippi Department of Revenue figures show casinos took in about $179.1 million in August, compared to about $178.4 million a year ago. The 12 casinos in coastal counties won about $90 million â€” a 4.3 percent increase over last Augustâ€™s $86.3 million. The 18 riverboat

casinos from Tunica to Natchez won about $89 million, down 3.3 percent from $92.1 million last year. Casino revenue increased for only the second month this year in Mississippi, thanks to the strong month on the coast. Still, one month isnâ€™t enough to reverse the overall statewide downward trend. The numbers exclude casinos operated by the Choctaw Indian tribe, which arenâ€™t required to report winnings to the state. Casino revenue peaked in Mississippi in 2007 and has fallen each year since. There was a brief improvement in early 2012, but the downward trend resumed. Industry leaders have said that along the Mississippi River, Tunica and Lula casinos have suffered from competition from the expansion of gambling in Arkansas. The nationâ€™s economic downturn also has been cited as a negative factor for the casinos.

Work begins on TVA project Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Valley Authority is beginning work this week on part of a project that will reduce emissions at its coal-burning power plant in Gallatin. The Tennessean reports workers are set to start pouring concrete for a 370-foot chimney, which is part of a $1.1 billion project that aims to produce cleaner air by cutting certain emissions by up to 96 percent. The work begins even though a coalition of environmental groups has sued TVA over its decision to continue operating the plant. Meanwhile, several businesses in Gallatin are anticipating the project as a way to spur the local

economy. TVA is the nation’s largest public utility, supplying power to about 9 million people in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. The federal agency is beginning a nearly fiveyear effort this year to build devices at the plant that would cut emissions of mercury, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide. The move comes after TVA entered into an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, four states and three environmental groups to meet new requirements of the federal Clean Air Act by reducing emissions. The federal agency considered options including

whether to invest money in reducing emissions or to shut down the plant. “I think it is a close question whether to proceed with the projects,” TVA president and CEO Bill Johnson wrote in a letter this year. “The Gallatin units are performing very well, and there are better candidates for retirement on the TVA system.” The plant burns 13,000 tons of coal a day and produces enough electricity to power the equivalent of 300,000 homes. Critics of coal-burning plants argue in their lawsuit that TVA didn’t fully study other options including closure. “TVA in our view didn’t take a close enough look at the retirement option and other solutions to

meet that demand,” said Jonathan Levenshus, who helps lead the Sierra Club’s Tennessee Beyond Coal campaign. “They could have taken a harder look at renewable energy, a harder look at efficiency.” Businesses near the plant are gearing up for as many as 900 contract workers who will be needed for construction of the emissions devices. “We’re glad the steam plant is going to remain open,” Gallatin Mayor Jo Ann Graves said. “It’s going to provide a lot of jobs for people in this area.” The project will have more than one positive impact, Graves said. “It’s cleaner air for all of our citizens,” she said.

Driver gets 12 years in fatal accident OXFORD — A man pleaded guilty Monday to driving under the influence in the crash that killed two University of Mississippi students in October 2012. WLBT reports that John Howard Strickland Jr. was sentenced in Lafayette County Circuit Court to serve 12 years in jail. Another 13 years was suspended. Siblings John and Sarah Wheat died after the vehicle Strickland was driving crossed a median and struck their car head-on. Prosecutors say Strickland was under the influence of marijuana at the time of the accident. Wheat family members were present for the sentencing.

Authorities book amory man for thefts AMORY— Authorities in Amory say a 27-year-

old man has been booked with possession of stolen property. Police Chief Ronnie Bowen tells WTVA that Corey Anthony Epperson was booked at the Monroe County jail. Bowen says investigators recovered power tools, air compressors and lawn equipment during the investigation of thefts in the town. It was not immediately clear whether Epperson has an attorney.

Lawyer seeks bond in pipe bomb case GULFPORT— An attorney has asked for bond for a man charged with weapons violations after authorities found a pipe bomb in a car at a state prison in Leakesville. Scott Jenkins Waits wasn’t in the car when the bomb was found June 1, but authorities say he was involved in making it. Prison officials say the bomb wasn’t intended to be used against the

facility. Waits lawyer, John Weber, says his client should be released due to a medical condition and to protect his home from looting. Another defendant, John Harberson, has pleaded guilty in the case. Authorities say Harberson drove a woman to visit an inmate at the south Mississippi Correctional Institution and forgot the bomb was in the car.

Motorcycle wreck badly injures man BILOXI — Authorities say an Ocean Springs man is recovering from severe burns after he crashed his motorcycle and it caught fire. Biloxi Police Sgt. John Doucet tells The Sun Herald that 25-year-old Raymond Rollins lost control of his 1998 Honda motorcycle on the Biloxi Bay Bridge around 10:45 p.m. Sunday.

Doucet said Rollins hit the center guard rail and rode along the barrier a short distance before coming off momentarily. Rollins then re-engaged the guard rail at the end of the bridge. Rollins’ motorcycle then burst into flames, Doucet said, before coming to rest in the center of the west-bound lane of traffic. Rollins jogged away from his motorcycle while peeling off burning clothes as a friend he was riding with called the police, Doucet said. Doucet said Rollins suffered a laceration around his left leg and has burns on 43 percent of his body. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Rollins, of Ocean Springs, is recovering at the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Doctors curious about chemical exposures WASHINGTON — From mercury to pesticides, Americans are exposed daily to environmental chemicals that could harm reproductive health, the nation’s largest groups of obstetricians and fertility specialists said Monday. The report urges doctors to push for stricter environmental policies to better identify and reduce exposure to chemicals that prove truly risky. But it’s likely to scare pregnant women in the meantime. That’s because during the first prenatal visit, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists wants doctors to ask mothers-to-be about their exposure to different chemicals. They’re also supposed to teach women how to avoid some considered most worrisome during pregnancy. “What we’re trying to get is the balance between awareness

and alarmist,” said Dr. Jeanne Conry, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Specialists with ACOG and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine examined research about industrial chemicals and pollutants that people can absorb from the air, water, food and everyday products. Few chemicals hit the market with good information about safe levels — something the groups hope to change. But certain chemicals are linked to infertility, miscarriages, birth defects and other problems, the committee said.

Flood water takes life of 79-year-old woman DENVER — A 79-yearold woman whose house was swept away by the Big Thompson River was found dead on the river bank, authorities said Monday, bringing to eight the death toll from the massive flooding in Colorado. As the number of people unaccounted-for

dwindled to six, Vice President Joe Biden viewed the devastation from a helicopter before meeting with disaster workers. “I promise you, I promise you, there will be help,” Biden said, trying to mute concerns that a possible federal government shutdown could derail relief efforts. The latest victim was identified as Evelyn M. Starner. Larimer County authorities said she drowned and suffered blunt force trauma. Starner was previously listed as missing and presumed dead. Authorities initially said she was 80.

BlackBerry company agrees to Fairfax sell BlackBerry has agreed to a $4.7 billion sale to a group led by its largest shareholder, Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd., after new smartphones failed to turn the company around. BlackBerry Ltd. said Monday that a letter of intent has been signed and that its shareholders will receive $9 in cash

for each share. The deal comes just days after the Canadian company announced plans to lay off 40 percent of its global workforce. The BlackBerry, pioneered in 1999, was once the dominant smartphone for on-thego business people and other consumers. It could be so addictive that it was nicknamed “the CrackBerry.” President Barack Obama couldn’t bear to part with his BlackBerry. Oprah Winfrey declared it one of her “favorite things.” But then came a new generation of competing smartphones, starting with Apple’s iPhone in 2007. The BlackBerry, that game-changing breakthrough in personal connectedness, looked ancient suddenly. Although BlackBerry was once Canada’s most valuable company with a market value of $83 billion in June 2008, the stock has plummeted from more than $140 a share to less than $9, giving it a market value of $4.6 billion, just short of Fairfax’s offer.

The comforts of cash

The surging stock market means some mutual fund managers are trying to sell high. Theyâ€™re cashing in their winners and waiting to see if prices will fall before buying again. If theyâ€™re right, they will have protected their investors and have more cash to buy bargain-priced stocks. If theyâ€™re wrong and stocks keep rising, their investors will miss out on the gains. The Villere Balanced fund (VILLX), for example, keeps 15 percent of its $877 million in cash, according to Morningstar. It has posted an average 12 percent annual return over the last five years, putting it in the top 1 percent of its category, and it has exited completely from some of its winning stock picks, such as Carnival (CCL). On average, fund managers have 4.6 percent of

their portfolios in cash, according to a survey done earlier this month by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Thatâ€™s up from 3.8 percent in January. Holding cash isnâ€™t necessarily a red flag, says Todd Rosenbluth, director of mutual fund and ETF research for S&P Capital IQ. Mutual funds always have cash on hand to pay investors who are pulling their money out of the fund. Rosenbluth says he considers a fund to be fully invested if it has as much as 5 percent of its assets in cash. Once the amount surpasses 10 percent, he says investors should ask why and check to see if the fund has a history of holding on to cash at the right times.

Like many homebuilders, sales of Lennarâ€™s homes have been growing along with the housing market recovery. The builder, which sells homes for entry level and move-up buyers, as well as retirees, has benefited from the limited supply of previously owned homes for sale.

Investors find out today whether rising interest rates dampened the builderâ€™s sales in the June-August quarter.
