Police seize $9,000, drugs and vehicles BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Police Chief Ralph Dance praised his narcotics officers Wednesday morning for helping bust a known drug house in Corinth. Officers took five individuals into custody and seized $9,000 in cash and a large amount of various narcotics during the late Tuesday night bust. Many items were confiscated, including two vehicles. “This was one of the larger busts we have had in several years,” said Dance. “It’s pretty exciting to know that we have helped remove such a large amount of drugs off the streets of Corinth.” Dance said officers were watching the

1508 Tate Street address when a female left the home. A traffic violation would result in a traffic stop where officers seized 19 ounces of marijuana in individual bags and around $5,000 in cash. “The female was traveling at a high rate of speed,” added Dance. “She was stopped by officers at the corner of Cemetery and Horton Streets around 8:20 p.m.” Within two hours, PD and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics executed a search warrant on the Tate Street property. “Several individuals tried to flee out the front door as officers entered the residence,” said Dance. “Another individual Please see ARREST | 2

Authorities identify school threat suspect; charges still pending

Luring industry

Several bulldozers moved about the new industrial park property Wednesday, removing trees and debris.

IUKA — A Alcorn County man is being held in Tishomingo County Jail for making a threat toward a school earlier this week. According to authorities, Japheth Wilson, 19, of County Road 312 in Corinth, remains in custody of the Tishomingo County Sheriff’s office while charges are pending. Tishomingo County Investigator Adam Hall said both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Mississippi Bureau of Investigation were contacted to determine what charges may be placed on the suspect. Wilson was taken into custody at Dollar General on U.S. Highway 72 West in Corinth on Tuesday.

No weapon was found on Wilson. Around 11 a.m. Tuesday morning, Tishomingo deputies informed the Tishomingo County School District of threats that had been made toward a school. Law enforcement said a man might be headed to a school in Tishomingo County with a weapon. “We received word of a possible threat in regard to one of our schools,” said Tishomingo County School District Superintendent Christie Holly. “The authorities were unsure which campus, so to be safe we decided to put a lockdown on all campuses.” All schools remained on lockdown until after the suspect had been taken into custody.

Work continues on rail hub City hires 2 prosecutors BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Pastoral land off Barnstable Road and the Kimberly Clark Parkway is undergoing a transformation that local leaders hope will translate into jobs. For the last few weeks, heavy equipment has been removing trees from 40 of the 135 acres of the south site of the Northeast Mississippi Rail Hub as part of a project funded by a $225,000 TVA grant. The work also includes a 2,200-foot access road, grubbing of 35 acres and a topographical study of the industrial park site. “It looks like a completely different place than what it looked like even four weeks ago,” said Alliance President Gary Chandler as elected officials and

Lowell Hinton Board of Supervisors president community leaders gathered Wednesday morning to view the progress. The phase one site preparation will help give prospects a better view of the land, which boasts dual rail access and is just off Highway 72 with ample water and electrical capacity. The north and south parcels together encompass 417 acres. The Alliance’s purchase of the

land followed talks at the end of 2012 with TVA, the Mississippi Development Authority and local elected officials on the direction Corinth and Alcorn County should take with industrial recruitment efforts. “We knew that we were a little shorthanded on industrial real estate, whether that be exPlease see SITE | 2

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen hired two attorneys to take on the duties of city prosecutor. Thomas L. Sweat Jr. recently resigned from the post, and the city had five candidates under consideration for the prosecutor’s duties in municipal court. The board interviewed candidates Tuesday afternoon and made the hires in a closed session after Tuesday’s regular meeting. The new city prosecutors are John O. Windsor and Robert G. Moore Jr. Windsor, in private practice in the city since 2008, is a former special assistant attorney general and senior at-

torney and hearing officer for the Mississippi Department of Corrections. He also previously worked with the AG’s cyber crimes division. Moore has served as the elected county prosecuting attorney since August 2011, with duties involving justice court, youth court, chancery court lunacy hearings and appeals. He has also had a solo practice since 2011. Moore previously worked with a Jackson law firm handling civil matters and the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation as a legal advocacy coordinator. The hires were made in a split vote of 4-3, with some disagreement on the hiring of two individuals.

isting buildings or greenfield sites,” said Chandler. “The message was pretty clear to us that we needed to go out and find our next industrial park setting for Corinth and Alcorn County. The message was: Look for something north of a hundred acres on rail.” The Kimberly Clark Parkway provided the answer, opening up a huge swath of undeveloped land east of Corinth and south of Farmington in an area where the hunting is known to be good. “I knew the gentleman that owned this when I was a kid,” said Ralph Coln, the interim Second District supervisor. “We hunted all back in here. I sure hope we can get some industry in here for Corinth and the community.” The south site was

targeted for development first because it has two rail lines — Norfolk Southern’s main Crescent Corridor line and the Mississippi Central Short Line operated by Pioneer Rail. “There are only a handful of dual-rail sites left in the market now, and this is one of them,” said Chandler. Praising development of the land, Board of Supervisors President Lowell Hinton described it as one of the biggest opportunities to come about in his lifetime. “You have to have a vision and then you have to have an opportunity,” he said. The Alliance “helped to create the opportunity to buy this property.” Chandler acknowledged efforts of the local legislative delegation, city, county, TVA and MDA to make development of the site possible.

Two vehicles — a GMC Yukon SUV and a Oldsmobile Cutlass sedan — were confiscated, as well. Dance said names of those custody will be released once charges are filed later today by the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics. “I’m really proud of our guys,” added Dance. “Our narcotics unit had been watching this location for some time.” The chief said he believes the bust will lead to more arrests in the coming weeks. “It’s not over,” he said. “We encourage anyone who believes they know where drug activity might be happening to please call us.” (To report a tip, contact the Corinth Police at 662-286-3377.)

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Thursday, October 8, the 281st day of 2015. There are 84 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On October 8, 2005, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake flattened villages on the Pakistan-India border, killing an estimated 86,000 people.

On this date: In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, and in several communities in Michigan. In 1918, U.S. Army Cpl. Alvin C. York led an attack that killed 25 German soldiers and captured 132 others in the Argonne Forest in France. In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. In 1945, President Harry S. Truman told a press conference in Tiptonville, Tennessee, that the secret scientific knowledge behind the atomic bomb would be shared only with Britain and Canada. In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0. In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles. In 1967, former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee died in London at age 84. In 1970, Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitsyn was named winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. In 1982, all labor organizations in Poland, including Solidarity, were banned. In 1998, the House triggered an open-ended impeachment inquiry against President Bill Clinton in a momentous 258176 vote; 31 Democrats joined majority Republicans in opening the way for nationally televised impeachment hearings.

Continuing its variety of offerings to the community, Rowan House will hold its first book signing from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The initial book signing will be for “A House Divided,” written by Emily Ruff Witcher and illustrated by Joanna Keith. “This is Witcher’s first book, but she does have a line of stationery,” said Rowan House owner Emily McGrath. “We have ordered the book and hope to carry the stationary as well.” Copies of the book may be purchased for $14.95 on the day of the event,

though we may root for different teams we still have one thing in comm o n , we love Mississippi,” said an enthusiastic McGrath. “The book is beautifully illustrated in watercolor.” “We hope to have m a n y m o r e b o o k signi n g s in the future,” she added. “We are thrilled about this event and all the events coming up at Rowan House.”

Stolen ring lands Prentiss woman in jail BOONEVILLE — On Thursday, Oct. 1, a diamond ring was reported stolen from a CR 3101 residence. Constable Sammy Henderson took the call. Investigators and deputies following up on the report, located Kara Lynn Rantz, 30, of CR 8401, the Rantz following day wearing the ring and arrested her. She was charged with grand larceny. Her bond was set $5,000. Rantz was released on bond on Saturday. The ring was returned to the owner.

SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Tonya Knight had murder charges dropped against her recently in Hardin County Circuit Court. Her ex-husband, Christopher Knight, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of his mother in Hardin County Circuit Court in July. District Attorney General Matt Stowe said there was no clear evidence that Tonya Knight was involved in the murder. All charges were dropped against her. The DA did say that should evidence emerge that she was linked to the crime, she could be charged. Tonya Knight spent 10 months in the Hardin County Jail when she was arrested, along with her husband, after the murder. She testified as a witness of the state at Christopher Knight’s trial. Peggy Jean Alexander was killed in March 2013.

deadline. As of Tuesday, there were 309 tags ordered and paid for. “We hit our goal this morning before lunch and so now we just keep trucking through our deadline on Friday and see what number we wind up with,” organizer Pam Swain said. “We’re very excited we are going to be able to move forward.” The group needed to hit 300, the number needed for the state to begin producing the tags in January. The specialty tag costs $31, with $24 of that going into the school district for continued technology needs and playground equipment. Swain said it was a school and community effort folks rallied behind. “I think our Commodore family just really came together and got behind this and made it happen in five and a half weeks,” she said. “We had about half a dozen people who were very instrumental in helping pull in these applications, but it took everybody.” While Swain said there was a core group of organizers, there were people hustling for the cause throughout the community. “There were so many people we didn’t even know were pushing it that got with their neighbors, co-workers and encouraged other teachers to get this,” she said. “I really was an entire school district that worked hard on this. “We’re extremely proud of our Commodores and we can’t wait to show our pride to people from the outside looking in that are going to see what a great school district that we have.”

Corinth, Miss.

Letter to the editor

We should demand more from elected officials Dear Editor: I read with amazement in Tuesday’s Daily Corinthian the following headline, Supervisors approve employee pay raises. The story explains that supervisors had a light agenda that included approval of pay raises for the staff in the supervisors’ office, justice court and the chancery clerk’s office, as budgeted – I guess those last two words are the key. Please allow me to clarify that the individuals in these offices are probably all good employees and well deserving of a raise. But, here’s the problem. A few short weeks ago, just after the August primary, we were told the county was in dire straits and we simply had to have a tax increase to make ends meet. According to board president, Lowell Hinton, as reported on Aug. 27, a tax increase was needed because the landfill and 911 had deficits. The landfill deficit was reported to be $948,000 and 911’s deficit was reported to be $590,000. Only in government do we call a $1,538.000 loss a deficit – in the real world that’s call “Hemorrhaging Cash” and only in government do we say the loss has accumulated over 18 years and no one thinks anything about it. And, we didn’t mention the regional prison, which is running in the red most every month. My point is -- how can these people look the taxpayers in the eye? Nowhere in the real world are you allowed to operate over a million and a half dollars in the red and still handout raises, regardless of how insignificant they may be. It’s time we not only expect, but also demand more from our elected officials. Tom Snyder Corinth

Policy reform from outside Washington Not all important public policy reforms come from Washington. Really lasting reforms can percolate from the bottom up, brewed by citizens with a grievance pushing state and local governments to act. Consider the case of Right to Try legislation. These are state laws that allow doctors to prescribe investigational medicines being safely used in clinical trials for patients diagnosed as terminally ill. You may not have heard about these laws. But you may have heard a lot if a loved one or Facebook friend is facing advanced cancer or ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and cannot obtain medicine that might alleviate symptoms or extend life because it has not gained final approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Right to Try legislation has been championed by the Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute, which has been largely ignoring Congress and concentrating on urging state legislatures to pass such laws. And they’ve had considerable success. Right to Try laws are now in place in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. A Right to Try law passed by wide margins in the California Assembly and Senate sits on Gov. Jerry

Brown’s desk in Sacramento. There is speculation that he will veto it, but there may be Michael enough votes Barone for an override. Columnist As any political junkie could tell you, these include red states, blue states and purple states. Together they contain more than half the nation’s population. And Right to Try legislation is being considered in other legislatures as well. Typically these bills have bipartisan support. Many legislatures have passed them by unanimous or near-unanimous votes. Readers may wonder how state laws could override a federal regulatory agency. In fact the FDA currently has a Compassionate Use policy that allows patients with dire diagnoses access to drugs that have passed Phase I clinical trials and have been judged safe. But applying for this exemption requires 100 physician hours of paperwork and only about 1,000 applications are approved annually. This is in line with the FDA’s longstanding institutional culture. For historical reasons, the FDA is much more averse to approving new drugs and treatments than its counterparts in Eu-

rope and other advanced countries. That’s contrary to the usual regulatory pattern in which Europe is more stringent than America. The FDA approval process for new drugs typically takes about 10 to 15 years and costs companies about $800 million from testing in clinical trials to market in pharmacies. Many cancer and ALS patients die or endure excruciating suffering while waiting for approval of alleviating drugs. “Americans deserve transparency,” writes Goldwater Institute president Darcy Olsen in her forthcoming book “Right to Try.” “They should not have to beg their government for the right to save their own lives, or stand by while the government makes decisions behind a veil of secrecy, (decisions) that allow some to live and leave others to die.” Olsen notes, “The FDA so far has not challenged Right to Try laws. It would be unwise to do so. If it does, it will lose twice -- once in the court of law, and once in the court of public opinion.” The FDA regulatory regime is based on the idea that a single centralized command-and-control government agency can make optimal decisions that affect everyone because of its unique expertise. That idea, as the success of Right to Try laws in dozens of legislatures demonstrates, is

increasingly refuted by experience. It has also been refuted by the regulators themselves. Under pressure, they bent rules in the 1980s and 1990s to allow drug access to patients with AIDS, then a fatal diagnosis. More recently, under the harsh light of international publicity, the FDA allowed a physician who contracted Ebola in Liberia to take a drug that had never even been tested on human beings. So far as I know, there has been no serious backlash against these decisions. The logic of allowing those who face terminal illnesses and irreversible physical deterioration to gain access to existing and tested drugs seems to most people irrefutable. The striking and bipartisan success of Right to Try laws suggests that Americans have lost confidence in the notion that centralized regulators have unique expertise and can determine what is best for everyone. This is a major policy reform, and one that has come from outside Washington. (Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone, 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.)

Joaquin and Obama: Two forces of nature Hurricane Joaquin dumped large amounts of rain on the East Coast, but another “force of nature” flooded the country with so much rhetoric it was difficult for most people to keep up. Before barely any facts were known, there was President Obama on camera (when isn’t he?) making a 12-minute address -- a relatively short time for him -about the school shootings in Roseburg, Oregon. The president referred to himself 28 times, according to Grabien.com, again proving that whatever happens in this country, or the world, it really is all about him. He talked about the need for “common sense” gun laws, and yet in the case of the Oregon shootings, as in so many other similar tragedies, he never mentions the responsibility and moral guilt of the shooter. Someone intent on killing other human beings will not be deterred by more gun laws. Law-breaking is what criminals do; otherwise they would be law-abiders, a word that applies to responsible gun owners. And those “gun free zones” are just advertisements to potential killers not to expect armed opposition to their shooting spree. One might

as well replace a sign warning that your home has an alarm with one that says the door Cal is unlocked, Thomas come in and take what Columnist you like. Perhaps the president might consider telling us what law, short of gun confiscation, would prevent, or substantially reduce, gun violence. He won’t, because as he admitted, he wants to “politicize” the Oregon shooting. And what of the mentally ill? The Oregon shooter’s neighbors recognized that something was a little off about him, but no one said anything to authorities. Would more gun laws have broken their silence? Every last gun in the shooter’s arsenal, according to reports, was legally acquired. That’s with gun laws we have in place already. Would another law or two or three have made a significant difference? Responding to reporters’ questions at the White House Friday (with each answer lasting 10 to 12 minutes), the president said he would not sign another continuing resolution to avoid

a government “shutdown” now to come just before Christmas. He chastised Congress for its failure to pass a budget, ignoring the real obstructionists, the Democrats, with their filibusters and manipulation of Senate rules. And the president called for an increase in the debt ceiling so we can “pay our bills.” But in 2006, when he was a senator from Illinois and George W. Bush was president, Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling. At the time he said, “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills ... I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” So it was a failure of leadership then, but not a failure of leadership now? And let’s not even start on this administration’s multiple failures with Russia and in the Middle East. If the president were serious about paying down the debt, he might start with a Government Accountability Office report released recently that reveals improper payments to “deceased individuals or those

who use deceased individuals’ identities” made by 124 programs across 22 government agencies. The GAO estimates these improper payments, which it says is a pervasive problem across government, totaled $124.7 billion in fiscal year 2014, an increase of nearly $19 billion over fiscal 2013. New job figures came out last week and the president commented on them. He said 142,000 new jobs were added in September. He conveniently ignored these Bureau of Labor Statistics figures: a record 94.6 million Americans not in the labor force (the lowest participation rate since 1977 during the Carter administration). If President Obama were paid according to the number of words he uses, he would be a multi-billionaire. If that pay were reduced by the number of untruths he told -- from “climate change,” to federal spending and the debt ceiling and budget, to the supposed effectiveness of more gun laws — he would be broke and in debt, like the nation he so poorly leads.

Biloxi’s ninth casino nears construction BILOXI — The Biloxi City Council has approved Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich’s plan for connecting the last length of the road around East Biloxi that will allow the city’s ninth casino to move forward. The Sun Herald reports Chris Ferrara showed designs of Biloxi Pointe Casino he and his team of investors want to build off Eighth Street in East Biloxi Tuesday and described the amenities that are part of the $260 million resort. He said they plan a casino, large convention and enter-

tainment center, hotel, shops, Ferrara said the commitment from the city to build the last part of the road from Back Bay Boulevard down Pine Street to U.S. 90 is needed to get the financing. “Investors like this market,” said Jeff Hartmann, founder and chief executive officer for the proposed resort. He told the council members that if they approve the agreement to build the road, the $7 million the Biloxi Point developers have committed will be there. Before any work on the road is done, the agreement requires the casino developers to close on

the $260 million for the project. “When we present the money,” Ferrara said of the $7 million, “that’s when the road work starts.”

Firefighters arrested in golf cart theft PASS CHRISTIAN — Two Pass Christian firefighters have been arrested in connection with the theft of a golf cart. Pass Christian police Chief Timothy Hendricks tells 37-year-old Jason Hair and 34-year-old Adam Noble were taken into custody Tuesday. Hendricks says Hair is a full-time firefighter in Pass Christian, and

Noble is a part-time firefighter in Pass Christian and a full-time firefighter in D’Iberville. Hendricks says Hair was arrested on a grand larceny charge in connection with the Sept. 30 theft of a golf cart. He says Noble was arrested on a charge of receiving stolen property in relation to the theft. Both men are free on bonds of $10,000 each.

Locomotive named Mississippi sold NATCHEZ — A 19th century locomotive with Natchez roots likely will not be returning to its home state any time

soon. The locomotive, named the “Mississippi,” was auctioned for $220,000 Monday in Philadelphia. Although the identification of the winning bidder had not been revealed, one thing is certain — the State of Mississippi did not place a bid for the train that got its start in Natchez. The locomotive is considered to be the oldest in the South and got its start in Natchez as part of the Mississippi Railroad Company in 1836. “It is a very important artifact and we would love to have it in our collection,” Mississippi Department of Archives and History Director Katie

Blount tells The Natchez Democrat. “Unfortunately, we were not in a position to place a bid.” Blount said the amount of money that would have been required played a role in the decision not to place a bid. The train operated between Natchez and Hamburg, a small community in Franklin County. It was displayed in the Chicago Exposition of 1893 and ended up as part of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry’s collection. On Monday, the museum auctioned the locomotive, along with four other pieces in its transportation collection.

Coast Guard ends search for crew JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Coast Guard plans to end its search at sunset for 33 missing crew members from a U.S. cargo ship that sank last week during Hurricane Joaquin, officials announced Wednesday afternoon. Robert Green, father of missing crew member LaShawn Rivera, said despite the decision, “I think we’re still hopeful. Miracles do happen, and it’s God’s way only. I’m prayerful, hopeful and still optimistic.” The 790-foot cargo ship sank Thursday off the Bahamas during Hurricane Joaquin, a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds that was producing 50-foot waves. Officials say the ship’s captain had plans to go around the storm as he headed from Jacksonville, Florida, to Puerto Rico but the El Faro suffered unexplained engine failure that left it unable to avoid the storm.

Gunman killed self after police shot him ROSEBURG, Ore. — The gunman who fatally shot nine people at an Oregon community college last week killed himself in front of his victims after two police officers wounded him, authorities said Wednesday. When two plainclothes detectives spotted Christopher Harper-Mercer in the doorway of a campus building, he fired at them, and the officers quickly returned fire. The killer then went back inside and shot himself in a classroom where many of his victims lay dead and wounded, a prosecutor told a news conference. It was authorities’ most detailed account yet of the gunman’s death. Previously, they had said only that the 26-year-old attacker killed himself after a shootout. The detectives arrived within minutes of the first reports of gunfire at Umpqua Community

College. Seconds later, the officers “both felt they had a good target,” Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg said. Two of their bullets hit a wall but a third struck HarperMercer on the right side. The wounded gunman “entered the classroom again, went to the front of the classroom, and shot and killed himself,” Wesenberg said.

Steve-O of ‘Jackass’ jailed for stunt LOS ANGELES — “Jackass” star Steve-O has been sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges filed after he staged a protest against SeaWorld atop a crane in Hollywood last month. Los Angeles City Attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan says Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, pleaded no contest Wednesday to trespassing and illegal use of fireworks. Mateljan says he was also sentenced three years of probation and ordered to reimburse the city nearly $14,000 for its emergency response.

Obama apologizes to group for attack WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama apologized to Doctors Without Borders on Wednesday for the American air attack that killed at least 22 people at a medical clinic in Afghanistan, and said the U.S. would examine military procedures to look for better ways to prevent such incidents. Obama’s phone call to the group’s international president, Joanne Liu, came just a day after the White House had stopped short of an apology, waiting to learn more while acknowledging that the attack was a U.S. mistake. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama offered condolences to the group’s staff and pledged a “transparent, thorough and objective accounting of the facts.”

University cancels classes, cites threat BY BRUCE SCHREINER Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Eastern Kentucky University canceled classes and shifted a home football game to another campus because of an escalating threat after the discovery of graffiti that threatened to “kill all” this week, school officials said Wednesday. School leaders called off classes for the rest of the week, effective midmorning Wednesday, as police tried to track down the source of threats that unsettled the campus in Richmond, Kentucky. The school later said its football game against Tennessee Tech, scheduled for Thursday night on the EKU campus, will instead be played at Georgetown College in central Kentucky. EKU’s public safety office said there was no evidence of imminent danger on campus but reported “an escalation in the threat, originating from social media.” Police presence around the campus has increased, the office said. School officials did not immediately identify the nature of the social media threat. Univer-

“I know a lot of people that are actually pretty terrified by this. I’ve been walking around campus and everyone is packing their bags and leaving.” Christopher Payton Editor-in-chief, The Eastern Progress Eastern Kentucky University’s campus newspaper sity spokeswoman Kristi Middleton declined additional comment, citing the ongoing police investigation. The campus threats surfaced in recent days. On Monday, campus police issued a public safety alert after menacing graffiti was found in a student center bathroom on campus. The graffiti said: “Kill All By 10/8/15.” University President Michael Benson said Wednesday that classes were canceled to enable law enforcement to thoroughly investigate the continuing threat. He said the goal was to limit safety risks while assessing the threats. “While we are confident the responding team of law enforcement agen-

cies has kept a watchful eye over our community and is diligently investigating the threat, it has become clear this incident continues to be unsettling to a number of our students, faculty and staff,” Benson said in a campus message. Classes also were canceled on EKU’s satellite campuses in the region. The school has about 16,900 students. The action comes less than a week after a shooting at an Oregon college. The shooter killed nine people and himself. The disruption at EKU comes during midterm exams. Full campus operations will resume next Wednesday, following the school’s scheduled

fall break on Monday and Tuesday, Benson said. Benson urged students, faculty and staff to “look out for each other” amid the threat. “I know a lot of people that are actually pretty terrified by this,” said Christopher Payton, editor-in-chief of The Eastern Progress, the campus newspaper. “I’ve been walking around campus and everyone is packing their bags and leaving.” Mike Mitchell made the hourlong drive from Mount Sterling to pick up his daughter, Irisbel, a freshman at EKU. He said he thought school administrators made “the right call” in canceling classes as the investigation continues. “This day and time, you never know,” he said. “You have to take threats seriously.” Mitchell said his 18-year-old daughter was “ready to get away for a couple of days, just due to this situation.” Kickoff for the Eastern Kentucky-Tennessee Tech football game is set for 7 p.m. EDT Thursday at Toyota Stadium at Georgetown College, EKU said. The game had been set for the same

time and day at Roy Kidd Stadium on the EKU campus. A women’s soccer game between Eastern Kentucky and Southeast Missouri that was set for Thursday at EKU has been moved to Transylvania University’s Pat Deacon Stadium in Lexington, Kentucky, EKU said. The game is set for 1 p.m. Thursday. EKU officials also canceled a performance of the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” that was scheduled for Wednesday night at the school’s arts center. Campus police continue to follow up on tips and interview people as part of the investigation, EKU public safety officials said. Authorities have been unable to substantiate a specific threat against a specific building, they said. State and federal law enforcement agencies are also involved in the investigation, campus officials said. The university is offering a $10,000 reward for an identification leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible.

South Carolina still on edge from floods; 2 die in truck BY ADAM BEAM AND MEG KINNARD Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — It could take until the weekend for the threat of flooding to ease in stormtattered South Carolina, where a senator warned of a potential billion-dollar cleanup bill, two more people died in the floodwaters and the flagship university sent a home football game 700 miles away. Rivers rose and dams bulged as storm water from days of heavy rains made its way to the Atlantic Ocean, causing a second round of flooding downstream. Gov. Nikki Haley paid a visit to the coast, which she said would still be in danger for another 24-48 hours. “We’re holding our breath and saying a prayer,” she said. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham warned the disaster could “break the bank” of federal emergency funds, possibly topping more than $1 billion. In another image of the storm’s otherworldly toll,

“Everything is gone! My clothes and all can be replaced. But my little things, my pictures, are all gone.” Wendy Dixon Flood victim

state officials said caskets have popped out of the ground in 11 instances in six counties. At least 19 people in South Carolina and North Carolina have died in the storm, while many survivors returned home to discover they’d lost everything. Wendy Dixon burst into sobs after realizing her wedding album and dozens of photos of her two sons and three grandchildren were destroyed. Overcome with emotion and barely able to walk across her waterlogged carpet, Dixon grasped the arm of a niece inside the Columbia apartment. “Everything is gone!” she wailed. “My clothes and all can be replaced.

“THE UNKNOWN GOD” The seventeenth chapter of Acts records Paul’s visit to Athens, Greece during his second missionary journey. The text indicates that “his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. “(verse 16) He began to discuss spiritual matters among the Jews in their synagogue, and with the philosophers of the city as well. Ultimately, he is taken before the authorities, and questioned about the things he has been discussing in the city. It is on this occasion that Paul gives one of the great sermons in the New Testament. It is a sermon about the one true God and what he has done, and what he requires of people today. Our world is not entirely unlike that of Paul’s day, and the truths revealed in this sermon are as relevant as when Paul first spoke them. What did Paul teach that we need today? First, he talked about the one true God. This God is Creator, Designer, Organizer, and Sustainer of mankind, and the universe in which he lives. Even the poets of their day recognized that man is the “offspring of God”, and that it is in Him that “we live and move and have our being.” Today we need to embrace the God of Heaven, and reject the false gods that are everywhere being put before us. Paul talked about man’s need to repent, or turn away from sin. “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.” (verse 30)That command leaves no one out. Have you repented of your sins, or are you willing to do so? Paul talked about judgment. (verse 30) Jesus spoke in his final week on earth of judgment to come. (Matthew 25:31-46} Paul said “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:10) The Bible is clear about the certainty of Divine judgment. Could it be that some reject the idea of the one, true God as Creator and provider, because if we accept that we are compelled to accept the fact that he will also be our judge. Sobering indeed is the thought of judgment in the presence of God. In this chapter you also notice there are different responses to the sermon Paul preached. Some mocked when he spoke of the resurrection. Some wanted to hear more at a later time. Some accepted the message and became followers of the truth. How will you respond to the truth about the “Unknown God”? We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ

But my little things, my pictures, are all gone.” It was another anxious day of waiting for floodwaters to recede around the capital city. About 1,000 residents near the compromised Beaver Dam were told to evacuate Wednesday morning, though the order was lifted several hours later when crews shored up the dam. Haley said 62 dams across the state were being monitored, and 13 had already failed. However, she said South Carolina was fortunate that those represented only a small fraction of 2,000 or so dams regulated by the state. At a news conference, Haley and other officials were asked repeatedly

about whether the state had spent enough in previous years to maintain dams and other infrastructure. “I think the analysis of this can be done after” the danger from the floods passes, she said in one testy response. But Graham said the federal lifeline must be treated with care to avoid a “pork-laden monstrosity” like the federal government’s aid package to the Northeast Hurricane Sandy in 2012. He warned state and county officials not to use the disaster as an opportunity to ask for money unrelated to flood damage. He also said it would take weeks to get a reliable damage assessment. “We’re talking hundreds of millions (of dollars), maybe over a billion,” he said while visiting a shelter in Columbia. And in an extraordinary move for the football-crazy South, the University of South Carolina announced it was moving Saturday’s football game against No. 7

LSU some 700 miles to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The university said more than 80,000 fans expected for the game in Columbia would have put too much stress on weakened infrastructure. In the most recent storm-related deaths, a group of five railroad workers were in a pickup truck when it drove past a barricade and plunged into the water where pavement was washed out. Three men in the pickup managed to get to safety around 3 a.m. Wednesday and divers later found the bodies of two men, authorities said. The workers were in town to help repair washed out tracks. Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Curtis Wilson said the barricade was in the wrong lane, but regardless, the railroad workers should not have been out because there was a citywide curfew in place. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said all nine deaths in the county have come from people trying to drive in flooded areas. Officers have located the cars belonging to several other missing people. “I’m fearing the worst on that,” Lott said.
