Production begins at silicon plant BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

BURNSVILLE — Production has officially began at North Mississippi’s newest manufacturing facility and officials say the hiring of workers isn’t over. “We currently have approxi-

mately 85 employees,” said Mississippi Silicon Vice President John F. Lalley. “We expect to hire more in the near term as we ramp up to full operations.” Earlier this month, the silicon producer began the process

of “hot commissioning,” which Lalley said is the process of testing to verify if production functions according to its design and specifications. “One of our two furnaces are heating,” he said. “We recently put raw materials into the fur-

nace and within a few days made our first tap (drain) of the furnace.” The Northeast Mississippi Waterway Industrial Park facility is producing silicon metal for a broad range of industries including the aluminum, auto-

motive and chemical industries. The plant will produce about 36,000 tons per year of silicon metal. Lalley said one of the furnaces has operated continuously Please see SILICON | 2

An outpouring of Christian love is the best medicine needed for a former Magnolia Regional Health Center employee. Donnie Lawrence, who was a respiratory therapist at the hospital for over 30 years, was recently diagnosed with a form of leukemia and other health issues. A gospel singing event and auction are set for Saturday, Nov. 7 at East Corinth Baptist Church. Proceeds made through the fundraiser will go toward medical expenses of Lawrence. The auction is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with the singing to follow at 6. “We ask everyone to come

out and support this man of God,” said event organizer and Lawrence’s son-in-law Randy Black. Lawrence has worked as a youth Lawrence pastor at several churches in the area. He also helped start two churches in Alcorn County and has been a supporter of other Christian events. Those who would like to donate an item for the auction can contact Black 662-415-7719 or Brandy Lawrence Black 662396-1492.

State officials join Jacinto talk Women’s group ready BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

JACINTO — Another round of talk about the Jacinto Courthouse and its management on Friday appeared to end in frustration for those on both sides of the issue. Joining the discussion at the Jacinto Senior Center near the courthouse were a couple of

representatives of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. A member of the Jacinto Foundation Board of Directors — Tony Gates, the board’s vice president — also listened to the locals air their concerns. He expressed bewilderment after the meeting. “I’m really confused as to

what they really want,” said Gates. The concerned citizens, pushing for a change in the foundation’s leadership, have found that, as a nonprofit corporation, the foundation is governed by its by-laws and is largely in a position to control Please see JACINTO | 2

Guest announced for Mid-Morning Concert series BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Filled with upbeat tunes and festive holiday favorites, the chapel of First Methodist Church in Corinth will reverberate with joy and wonder as guests gather at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22 for a special fall Mid-Morning Concert. Sponsored by the Corinth Music Club, the featured guest for October will be celebrated singer Josh Tippey, who hails from a small town in central Illinois. Following high school, Tippey attended The American and Dramatic Academy in New

York City and went on to perform multiple professional musical theater performances in the United States and Canada. He now enjoys singing at weddings, churches, festivals, small businesses, and other establishments. “I’m very honored, blessed and excited to share my talent here in Corinth,” said Tippey. “I sang a handful of songs at Vicari Italian Grill one night and they seemed to go over well.” The performer prays additional doors will open and new opportunities present themselves once more people hear

him sing. “Isn’t that what every singer wants?” he mused. Selections include “Corner of the Sky” (Pippen); “All Good Gifts” (“Godspell”); “Younger Than Springtime” (“South Pacific”), “Any Dream Will Do” (“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat); “Do I Love You” (Cinderella); “Can’t Help Falling In Love” (All Shook Up); “Night and Day” (Gay Divorcee); “The Impossible Dream” (Man of LaMancha); “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” (“I’ll be home for Christmas”); “Blue Moon” (“Grease”); “Cry”

(“Forever Plaid”) and “New York, New York” (“New York, New York)”. “This set of music, ‘Best of Broadway,’ highlights some great classics from shows such as ‘Grease,’ ‘Godspell,’ ‘South Pacific’ and many others,” explained Tippey. “I hope everyone who comes out enjoys listening as much as I enjoy performing.” Organized in 1922, the Corinth Music Club is a member of the Mississippi Federation of Music Clubs and offers several concerts throughout the year.

Hundreds rally against Confederate emblem BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Civilrights leader Myrlie Evers-Williams, Mississippi-born rapper David Banner and a prominent South Carolina lawmaker are calling on Mississippi to remove the Confederate battle emblem from its state flag. About 400 people took part in a change-the-flag rally Sunday outside the Mississippi Capitol. No alternative design was proposed, but rally lead-

ers said the flag is racially divisive. Three men holding large flags with various Confederate emblems watched the rally from a distance across the Capitol lawn. The emblem — a blue X with 13 white stars, over a red field — has been on Mississippi’s flag since 1894, and voters chose to keep it in 2001. But the massacre of nine black worshippers in June at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, has renewed the debate about the public display of Con-

State employees pay more for insurance The Associated Press

JACKSON — A supplemental insurance contract for all state employees might cost less and provide better coverage for such services as dental and vision insurance, but contracts are fragmented among more than 100 state agencies plus school districts and higher education entities, The Clarion-Ledger reports. There’s also no requirement for competitive bidding or to get proposals for the best price or coverage. And some Mississippibased insurance companies tell the newspaper they’re being shut out in a process that is not very transparent, open for competition or regulated for fairness. Since state employees pay most of the cost of supplemental insurance and “cafeteria plans,” the issue has mostly stayed off state leaders’ radar. The only recent legislative push, state Rep. William Shirley’s bill for consolidated dental coverage, was fought by agency leaders who don’t want to change and individual insurance agents who don’t want consolidation. House Insurance Chairman Gary Chism, R-Columbus, said it passed in the House but the Senate never picked it up. “Lots of members got calls from school districts,

community colleges, state agencies,” he said. “The agents that have the contracts had great concern. They liked what they had. Our members started saying, ‘My community college board doesn’t want this.’ “But to me there’s no question there could be money savings” using the buying power of 180,000 people instead of smaller numbers per agency, Chism said. The state provides health insurance for about 90,000 government and school workers thorugh a self-insurance program which also covers 90,000 dependants. It competitively bids out administration of the plan. But employees must pay for supplemental coverage, such as dental, vision, long-term disability and other services, such as flexible spending accounts. State agencies provide payroll deduction and some in-house administration, but also choose just what to offer. The state Department of Finance and Administration oversees the state’s health insurance but has no authority over supplemental plans, said Director Kevin Upchurch. He said employees might save if agencies got together to get more clout, and was not aware of any ban on such cooperation.

federate symbols. Police said the mass shooting in Charleston was racially motivated, and the suspect had previously posed for photos with the rebel flag. Republican state Rep. Jenny Horne of South Carolina said Sunday that Mississippi is hurting its own economy by keeping the battle emblem on the state flag. “It is a new South. The economic development opportunities that Mississippi is missing out on — you don’t even know

it, but it’s costing all citizens jobs,” said Horne, who gave an impassioned speech in July as South Carolina lawmakers voted to remove a Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds in Columbia. Horne on Sunday wore a lapel pin with a photo of her friend and colleague, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, who was the minister of Emmanuel AME Church and was among those killed June 17. Horne said South Carolina removed the

Confederate flag from its place of prominence because of tragedy. She said she’s “cautiously optimistic” that Mississippi will do the right thing and change its flag. Critics say the Mississippi flag is a divisive reminder of slavery and segregation and doesn’t represent a state where 38 percent of the 2.9 million residents are black. Supporters say they see the Confederate emblem as a symbol of history and heritage. Evers-Williams was

national chairwoman of the NAACP from 1995 to 1998 and is the widow of Medgar Evers, the Mississippi NAACP leader who was assassinated outside their family’s Jackson home in 1963. At the rally Sunday, she noted that Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee had distanced himself from Confederate symbols after the South lost the Civil War. “If a former Confederate general recognizes the divisiveness of a symbol of disunity, we must do so, also,” Evers-Williams said.

such as lasagna, chicken divan, chicken spaghetti, cornbread dressing, spaghetti, breakfast enchiladas, sausage rice casserole and around numerous pies are just a sample of the tasty treats on sale at the event. The food booth will be located on the southeast corner of the CARE Garden, Beginning at 8 a.m., food will be sold on a first come and first served basis. Fillmore Street Chapel, which dates back to 1871,

is a popular wedding venue in downtown Corinth. The sanctuary is wellsuited for musical presentations and competitions due to its acoustics. It is often used for concerts open to the public. The next big project slated for the building is the repair of joists underneath the sanctuary along with the installation of new pine flooring. “This will be a major undertaking requiring a large expenditure,” said Fisher.

Fellowship Hall. All the cooking and baking is being done for the group’s annual Frozen Food Sale on Nov. 21 at Red/Green Market. Proceeds from the sale will go toward at least one structural improvement and one cosmetic enhancement to the popular chapel, according to chapel committee chairman Rosemary Fisher. “This past year, we have made a number

of simple repairs to the building,” said Fisher. “Planting has been replaced and furniture was purchased for the reception rooms.” Over the years, a number of improvements to Corinth’s oldest church building have been financed by the chapel committee, members of FUMC and other interested individuals, according to Fisher. The FUMC group came up with the idea of a food sale five years ago. Items

since Sept. 29. “We are pleased with the furnace productivity and the quality of the silicon metal being produced,” Lalley added. “We are on track for the startup of furnace two within the next six to eight weeks.” In that time, Lalley said, he hopes to hire another 25 to 30 employees. “As we add ancillary operations and hopefully expand the plant, our long term goal is to create 200 jobs within the next several years,” said the vice president. All open positions at Mississippi Silicon are listed with the WIN Jobs Center, Lalley said. “People interested in applying should register with the job center,” he added. “On our behalf,

operate the other acreage,” said Executive Director Beth Whitehurst. Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams asked what citizens who are willing to volunteer services can do. “For our grant projects, we definitely require professionals that are bonded,” said Woodrick. “It’s not that we don’t trust people that want to volunteer — we have a lot of buildings that would be lost without volunteers — but certainly if there is some work that is permitted, we would want somebody that is licensed and bonded.” Also, detailed plans and specifications are required to ensure the project is clearly understood by all parties, said P’Pool.

The courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. “To have a National Register listed property that early is really significant,” said Woodrick. “It was also declared what was known at that time as a Mississippi Archaeological Landmark in 1975, which again is one of our earliest Mississippi landmarks.” The biggest concern that led to the series of meetings, according to George, is the condition of the grounds. “We wanted permission to clean it up and look like a community,” he said. “You drive down the road, everybody’s yard is immaculate.”

its own destiny. “We’re just wasting our time trying to get something done,” Willie George concluded at one point. Rep. Tracy Arnold of Prentiss County asked if there is any way control can be stripped from the foundation, suggesting eminent domain as an option. “Most of the people on their board are all connected politically,” he said. Residents are fuming over condition of the grounds, particularly in the area referred to as the park and the nearby Calton house; limited access to the courthouse; lim-

ited offerings in the gift shop; a lack of “ambition” and “excitement” in the management; and references to permission from MDAH. “Do they have to go through the archives,” said George, “to let something run down and not maintain it?” Some tried to point to a way forward with the citizens and foundation working together. “This is a situation that many communities would love to have, because they’ll have a meeting about the historic property and nobody shows up because nobody cares,” said Jim Woodrick, director of the Historic Preservation Division at MDAH. “I would encourage all of

you to talk to the foundation and aim at providing us an application for next year, assuming we get more preservation grant monies, and get a list of priorities.” Sen. Rita Potts Parks suggested the citizens form a “friends” support group to get some constructive communication going between them and the foundation. Prior to the concerned citizens meeting, Woodrick and Ken P’Pool, deputy state historic preservation officer, walked through the courthouse with representatives of the foundation to view the renovation work that is in progress and answer some questions. “I don’t think there are

any issues we can’t work through on that building,” said Woodrick. He described MDAH’s role in issuing permits for work on landmark properties such as the courthouse. “Generally we don’t care too much about just routine maintenance issues,” he said. “We generally care about changes to the building or if you were replacing some historic fabric of the building. You don’t go out with a Mississippi landmark property and just start tearing into something without checking with us.” For any of the property that is not directly owned by the foundation, “We have an agreement with the county whereby we

Today in History Today is Tuesday, October 13, the 286th day of 2015. There are 79 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On October 13, 1775, the United States Navy had its origins as the Continental Congress ordered the construction of a naval fleet.

On this date: In A.D. 54, Roman Emperor Claudius I died, poisoned apparently at the behest of his wife, Agrippina. In 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known as the White House, was laid during a ceremony in the District of Columbia. In 1843, the Jewish organization B’nai B’rith was founded in New York City. In 1932, President Herbert Hoover and Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington. In 1944, during World War II, American troops entered Aachen, Germany. In 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon held the third televised debate of their presidential campaign (Nixon was in Los Angeles, Kennedy in New York). In 1962, Edward Albee’s four-character drama “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” opened on Broadway. In 1972, a Uruguayan chartered flight carrying 45 people crashed in the Andes; survivors resorted to feeding off the remains of some of the dead in order to stay alive until they were rescued more than two months later. In 1981, voters in Egypt participated in a referendum to elect Vice President Hosni Mubarak the new president, one week after the assassination of Anwar Sadat. In 1990, Le Duc Tho, co-founder of the Vietnamese Communist Party, died in Hanoi a day before his 79th birthday. In 2000, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Ten years ago: Scores of Islamic militants launched simultaneous attacks on police and government buildings in Nalchik, a city in Russia’s turbulent Caucasus region, leaving 139 people dead, most of them insurgents. Five years ago: Rescuers in Chile using a missile-like escape capsule pulled 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a halfmile underground.

to appear in court Tuesday. Court records did not show whether he had a lawyer who could be contacted for comment. Olridge is one of four Memphis officers have been shot to death in just over four years and the second fatally shot in the past 2.5 months. “It just doesn’t get any easier,” Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong told reporters Sunday. “I didn’t think that we’d be here again so soon.” He noted that the investigation is in its early phases, adding that “details are sketchy.” Police on Sunday blocked the street in front of the house where the shooting happened. A plainclothes detective spoke with a neighbor. Uniformed officers also were on the scene. Olridge, who joined the department in September 2014, had a fiancee who is four months pregnant, Armstrong said. Relatives of the officer could be seen crying outside the hospital where he was taken. In August, Memphis police officer Sean Bolton was fatally shot in the line of duty. Police have charged 29-yearold Tremaine Wilbourn, who was on probation for an armed bank robbery, with first-degree murder in Bolton’s death.

Mold remediation begins at library

Man faces charge in killing of officer MEMPHIS (AP) — A man with a felony record has been charged with possession of a firearm in connection with the fatal shooting of an offduty Memphis police officer, authorities said Monday. Lorenzo Clark, 36, was charged in the shooting death of 31-year-old Terence Olridge, who had been on the Memphis Police Department just a little over a year. He is the second police officer to die in a shooting in less than three months. Memphis police spokesman Louis Brownlee said Olridge and Clark were involved in an argument that escalated into a shootout in the Memphis suburb of Cordova. The two men were neighbors. Olridge was on his way to work Sunday at about 1 p.m. when the encounter with Clark happened. The men exchanged gunfire, and Olridge was struck. He went back to his house and tried to get help. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. Police say Clark surrendered peacefully after the shooting. Brownlee declined to say whether more charges would be filed in the case. Clark was scheduled

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — The University of Mississippi is working to get rid of mold from the Archives and Special Collections section of its library. The Oxford Eagle reports the mold, found during June, is not dangerous to people or harmful to any of the collected items, and the cleaning project should be complete in a matter of weeks. Stan Whitehorn, head of access services and operations manager, said library employees noticed the mold after realizing the heating and air conditioning system had stopped functioning at full capacity. The humidity in the room rose rapidly as a result, creating the ideal environment for mold to grow. When the section was closed in June, precautions were taken to begin cleaning documents that were as old as the 17th century. The room was closed to the public and vacuum systems were brought in to gently pull mold spores off the items. Whitehorn said staff and student workers take turns cleaning the books. The archive contains rare books and papers written on and by famous Mississippians.

Corinth, Miss.

Hillary has a new agenda Hillary Clinton has a new gun agenda that is the same as the old gun agenda. We all are appalled and heartsick over the country’s mass shootings, which aren’t any less shocking for their routine occurrence. But that doesn’t mean we know how to stop them. The Pavlovian Democratic reaction is to offer a raft of familiar gun-control proposals, whether or not they Rich have any bearing on mass Lowry shootings. Hillary’s ideas are a testaNational ment to the essential sterility Review of the gun debate, no matter how much heat it generates. There is no way around the fact that marginal changes will do little or nothing to stop mass killers, while more sweeping changes – even if they were practicable or wise – run afoul of the Second Amendment. Among other things, Clinton wants to renew the assault-weapons ban, which we had for 10 years before it lapsed in 2004. The ban never made any sense, and a push to revive it is nostalgia for a meaningless gesture. To review: A so-called assault weapon is a semi-automatic rifle tricked out with frightening-looking cosmetic features. It is functionally indistinguishable from any other semi-automatic rifle. Assault weapons might play an out-sized role in crime in Hollywood productions, but not in real life. Rifles generally aren’t used in shootings, let alone assault rifles. All rifles account for about 300 homicides a year. A Department of Justice-supported study of a possible renewal of the assault-weapons ban called its effect on violence “perhaps too small for reliable measurement.” Clinton wants to close the “gun-show loophole,” which is one of the great cliches and myths of the gun-control debate. The loophole doesn’t actually exist. Federally licensed dealers have to run a background check or otherwise ascertain that a purchaser has passed one, even if the dealer is selling at a gun show. Private sellers don’t have to conduct one – whether or not they are selling at a gun show. The inordinate focus on gun shows might make sense if there were evidence of an epidemic of criminals using them to get their weapons. There isn’t. A study in the journal Preventive Medicine of criminal offenders in Chicago found that most obtained their guns through personal connections. “Rarely,” the study said, “is the proximate source either direct purchase from a gun store, or theft.” Clinton also seeks to tighten up background checks by not letting dealers automatically sell to a buyer if a check hasn’t been completed in three days. The problem with background checks as a means to stop mass shootings is that very often the shooters don’t have criminal records and haven’t otherwise been adjudicated. This makes it impossible to use background checks to stop them from buying guns. If it matters, none of this has anything to do with the Oregon shooting. The killer apparently used handguns to mercilessly shoot down his victims (although he also had a rifle, an AR-15). All of his 13 guns came from federally licensed dealers. He passed background checks. Not incidentally, the politics of her proposals are good in the Democratic primary. From gun-friendly (and low crime) Vermont, Bernie Sanders opposed the Brady Bill in the early 1990s and is relatively reasonable on the issue. In the general election, though, Clinton is risking a fierce backlash. She promises to make her change in the “gun-show loophole” through unilateral executive action, a pledge that couldn’t be better designed to activate the National Rifle Association. Substantively, her proposals aren’t wellthought-out, because Democrats don’t think when it comes to guns. They hold the same subrational belief that President Barack Obama expressed in his impassioned post-Oregon statement last week: that preventing mass shootings is easily within our power, with enough political will. Would that it were so. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Gracious Father, may the world speak to me of thy gifts, and of the peace and power which it freely offers. May I not pass by thy great appeals, and prefer to purchase at a great cost my indolence and dissipation. Amen.

A verse to share “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” 2 Corinthians 5:18

State is 1st in declining prison population The motivations are different, but the result is the same. President Obama is happy about a decrease of 6,000 people in federal prisons nationwide. The rationale is that these people are nonviolent drug offenders from the 1980s and 1990s whose Charlie s e n t e n c e s Mitchell were unduly harsh in the Columnist first place. Mississippi’s inmate population has dropped by 3,000 people over the past several months — by far the fastest decline of any state. The rationale, though, is that prisons cost too much money. What’s going on? Assorted Pew-recommended, Texas-tested changes in approaches to locking people up were adopted, albeit quietly, by the Mississippi Legislature in 2014. Several other states did much the same. The legislation was handled with no fanfare. (Just about the worst thing to say about a legislator seeking re-election is that he or she is soft on crime. No incumbent wanted to wear that label.) The process was started by Gov. Phil Bryant when

he appointed a task force on prison reform early in his first term. That commission (which preceded the more recent commission appointed in response to top-level corruption) issued a rather straightforward report. The Legislature, for the most part, followed the recommendations. There are some twists and turns, but the essence centers on (1) dividing crimes into violent and nonviolent categories, (2) more community-based corrections and (3) a pledge for more post-release monitoring and assistance. All track the findings of scholarly studies conducted over many years in the Public Safety Performance Project of the private Pew Charitable Trusts. Bryant was adamant about violent offenders. No break for them. But for those who really haven’t hurt anyone but themselves, there are lesser maximum sentences and earlier opportunities for release. The community-based aspect includes wider use of drug courts, which require that people who admit their crimes and admit their addictions undergo monitored treatment with the looming threat of being locked up. It also involves alternatives such as house arrest. The post-release changes

are related to the fact that a third of the people in prison have been there before — the so-called revolving door syndrome. Finding ways to help former inmates stay out of trouble is a lot cheaper than locking them up again. Amazing numbers have some with the 35-year-long surge in locking people up here and nationwide. The federal Bureau of Prisons was home to 25,000 people in 1980. Even after the first round of federal releases, the number will be at 200,000, still a 700 percent increase. Mississippi tracked the national trend, started by President Nixon’s 1971 declaration of a War on Drugs and amplified by former Gov. Kirk Fordice’s 1995 Truth In Sentencing legislation. Official figures today say it costs taxpayers $17,177 per year to house and feed a Mississippi inmate. That puts the price tag of a 20year sentence, assuming no inflation, at a third of a million dollars. For this fiscal year, Senate Bill 2855 allocated $333 million for prison operations, which is a third of a billion dollars. And unlike so many other spending categories — Medicaid, roads, education — there is no federal match or supple-

ment. Hard time costs hard dollars. New Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher (who got the job when his predecessor was arrested for and later pleaded guilty to federal felonies) is squarejawed and straightforward. He’s made some friends and some foes in his first year in the role, but no one doubts his determination. For one thing, he wants higher standards and better pay for corrections officers. For another, while corrections is costly to taxpayers, it’s lucrative to the private prisons in the state that are guaranteed a return on their investment. What about the other thing? The effect of all these criminals being back on the streets? That’s interesting, too. Texas, the first state to adopt the Pew reforms, has actually recorded a decrease in violent crime by making smarter use of its cell space. Mississippi is middleof-the-pack among the 50 states when it comes to violent crime rates. Being “smarter on crime” as opposed to “soft on crime” might lead to better scores on that, too.

Cochran pushing back on flood risk standards U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, this week again called on the Obama administration to provide a d d i t ional Sid Salter details on Columnist their efforts to establish a new federal flood risk standard despite resistance from Congress. Was the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina caused by the storm’s wind or the water pushed by the wind over structures? The legal fights over that question roiled for years. Ultimately, the position of the insurance industry generally that storm surge was included in the water damage exclusion of most applicable policies was upheld by the courts. The Obama administration has attempted to write the concept of climate change into the new federal flood risk standard, a pos-

ture that has met resistance from Cochran and other Republicans in Congress. Why? According to Joe Scata of the Natural Resources Defense Council: “The Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, which was issued via Executive Order 13690, is one of the most far-reaching federal policies on climate change adaptation. The FFRMS was developed by the President’s State, Local, and Tribal Task Force on Climate Change Preparedness and Resilience and underwent an extensive public comment process with listening sessions held throughout the country.” The new policy makes no changes to the National Flood Insurance Program, which covers Americans in flood-prone areas like the Mississippi Gulf Coast with federally backed insurance if they meet federal risk minimization standards. But the new FFRMS will apply to grants the program provides, which will impact construction in those areas. As Cochran has noted, the

new standard represents a major shift in federal policy. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) circulated a memo three years ago stating the agency’s intent to take global warming into account when preparing for severe storms. But other federal agencies continued to rely on historic data rather than future projections. The new policy will change that. Under the new standards, agencies have three options for establishing the flood elevation and hazard area they use in the siting, design and construction of federal projects. Federal agencies can either use “actionable climate science” data, build structures two feet above the 100-year flood elevation for standard projects and three feet above for critical buildings such as hospitals and evacuation centers, or build to the 500-year flood elevation. Mississippians on the Gulf Coast face the same challenges today they did

before Katrina – particularly in terms of insurance. The “wind pool” is residential and commercial property insurance that includes wind damage to high-risk properties inside the six coastal counties (George, Harrison, Hancock, Jackson, Pearl River and Stone). The “wind pool” policies insure against calamities including wind damage, but not against flood damage unless separate and highly expensive flood insurance is purchased – if it’s available. Flood insurance is a property insurance “add-on.” The entire “wind versus water” litigation sought to force insurance companies to honor insurance policies that covered damage from wind so that they include wind-driven water or storm surges like that caused by Katrina. But the courts ruled almost exclusively in favor of the insurers in that litigation. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state.

How Do I Keep from Doing a Sin That I Want to Do?

SAMUEL D. SMITH U.S. Army 1967-1970

In a Bible class that was discussing the topic of homosexuality, a 13-year-old girl asked, “What about someone who really doesn’t want to have those feelings but can’t seem to stop them?” That is such a great question, for there are many who are struggling with homosexual desires but they don’t want to be. How can they stop? What can they do? First, the first step in stopping sinful desires is to have a desire to stop. The Bible calls that “repentance.” To repent, as defined in the Bible, is to change one’s mind which then leads to a change of conduct. One must truly want to stop sinning, if he is going to overcome the desires and thoughts. Genuine change of life will not follow where genuine change of heart and mind does not first lead.

I give my permission to publish the enclosed information in the Daily Corinthian Veteran’s Day issue.

Second, one must disassociate with friends and acquaintances who do not share the same godly drive. If one truly wants to stop sinful desires but he continues to hang around those who are given to (or approve of) those sinful desires, then those associations will weaken the resolve and eventually quell the determination. Our friends have a tremendous inﬂuence on us (1 Cor. 15:33), and some of them will keep us from making meaningful changes in our lives.

Signature________________________Phone___________________

Third, deliberately associate with those who do share the same godly drive. As we disassociate with ungodly inﬂuences, we must build relationships with faithful Christians, who will help “sharpen” us as Christians and help us deepen our resolve to live holy lives for God (Prov. 27:17).

Veteran’s Name___________________________________________

Fourth, abstain from tempting situations and people. We all know that we are especially weak and susceptible when we are in certain situations, around certain stimuli. God’s solution is clear-cut, “Abstain from fleshly lusts which ware against the soul” (1 Pet. 2:11). Get away. Stay away. Fifth, pray about it. The power of prayer is beyond our ability to comprehend. “You do not have because you do not ask” (Jas 4:2). In detailing the Christian armor, precisely suited to fight the devil and his temptations, the final piece of armor is “praying always” (Eph. 6:18). Ask. Seek. Knock. All the time! Sixth, write the word of God on your heart. We all need to be able to say, “Your world I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You!” (Psa. 119:11). When “the law of his God is in his heart, his steps do not slip” (Psa. 37:31). God’s word has amazing power to work in our lives! Seventh, remember that being tempted is not a sin. Jesus was tempted but never sinned. Fleshly lusts are hard to overcome, but with God’s help we can resist giving in to those sinful urges. Each victory over temptation will help you to win another victory down the road. Trust in God. Lean on Him! Welcome To Northside

Flight evacuated on tarmac after engine fire put on a different plane that later departed Las Vegas. The airline said the pilot aborted takeoff and reported the fire as the plane was rolling down the runway after indications of a mechanical issue. The plane taxied to a remote area and was met by firefighters. Christine Crews, a McCarran spokeswoman, said 11 firefighters from the Clark County Fire Department put out the fire within 30 seconds of the response.

The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — A California-bound Allegiant flight was evacuated in Las Vegas after an engine caught fire on the tarmac, the second plane fire at the airport in as many months and the latest in a string of issues for the low-fare carrier. Allegiant Air flight 516 was preparing to take off for Fresno at McCarran International Airport Sunday afternoon when a fire was reported in the right engine. None of the 160 passengers and six crew members was injured. All were bused back to the terminal and passengers were

slides, such as burns and bruises. “The fire was out,” Crews said. “There wasn’t imminent threat of harm.” The incident did not disrupt the airport’s operations and all runways stayed open and functional. The airline said it is conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire. The National Transportation Safety Board said it is gathering information but has not launched an investigation. The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 plane registered to the carrier was built in 1991 and was

most recently certified in March 2011. The engine was made by Pratt & Whitney, according to the FAA. Boeing is the parent company of the MD-80. Sunday’s fire is the latest in a string of issues for the Vegas-based company in recent months and comes after a British Airways plane caught fire at the airport in September. A British Airways’ London-bound plane halted on the runway as it was preparing to take off on Sept. 8 after an engine caught fire. All 157 passengers and 13 crew members survived, some with minor injuries.

For Allegiant, a possible maintenance issue was cited in September when a flight from Bismarck, North Dakota, to Las Vegas was diverted to an airport in southern Utah. Another Allegiant flight made an emergency landing in July at a closed airport in Fargo, North Dakota, after company executives piloting the aircraft reported they were nearly out of fuel. In June, flights at St. PeteClearwater International Airport in Florida were cancelled after one of its planes was forced to make an emergency landing because of pressurization problems.

In 2013, Allegiant grounded its MD-80s for days to check and service exit chutes after acknowledging it missed a 2007 manufacturer’s recommendation to overhaul chutes every year instead of every three years. The airline defended its safety record Monday, saying in a statement: “Safety is, above all, our top priority. Our safety record remains among the best in the industry.” The airline has also faced ongoing labor disputes with pilots and flight attendants, with a federal judge this year barring Allegiant pilots from striking.

Princeton economist wins Nobel for work on poverty sweeping solutions to poverty and about the effectiveness of aid programs. And on Monday, it earned him the Nobel prize in economics.

Angus Deaton has dug into obscure data to explore a range of problems: The scope of poverty in India. How poor countries treat young girls. The link between income inequality and economic growth. The Princeton University economist’s research has raised doubts about

kronor (about $975,000) from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Deaton’s research has “shown other researchers and international organizations like the World Bank how to go about understanding poverty at the very basic level,” said Torsten Persson, secretary of the award committee. He becomes the sixth scholar affiliated with Princeton to win the Nobel in economics since it was first given in 1969. “That lightning would strike me seemed like a very small probability event,” Deaton said at a news conference at Princeton. “There are many people who are worthy of this award.”

Deaton grew up in a family of modest means. “Not having money can give you a perspective on the world that you don’t get other ways,” he said. “Most people in my family thought I should be out (working) in the fields, not reading books. Fortunately, my father didn’t think that way.” For Deaton, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and holds dual U.S. and British citizenship, everything starts with an analysis of data. “Thinking about numbers hard is one of the things I think is really important,” Deaton told The Associated Press. Deaton created tools that let governments in poor countries study how

families adjust spending in response to, say, an increase in the sales tax on food. “He’s an economist’s economist,” said Dani Rodrik, a Harvard colleague. Deaton has done “very careful, detailed work” on data about poverty at the household level in poor countries “so that one could understand the effects of changes in policies on how people behave,” Rodrik said. Deaton discovered that India had far more poor people in rural areas than previously thought, a finding that led the government to expand subsidies. “Households that were not defined as poor before can now be reached,” said Ingvild Almas, associate professor at the Norwegian School of Economics. “That is a direct result of Deaton’s research.” He also hit upon what the Nobel committee called an ingenious way to discover whether families in poor countries spent less to care for daughters than for sons. Among other things, he studied how much households spent

on “adult” items, such as beer and cigarettes, to see whether families consumed things differently depending on the sex of newborn children. His surprising conclusion: They didn’t. Another Deaton study challenged the once-popular notion that malnutrition caused poverty by making people too weak to find work. He found the relationship worked the other way: Being poor caused people to be malnourished. Deaton is physically imposing. “He has football player dimensions,” said David Warsh, who writes the Economic Principals blog. And he isn’t reluctant to voice strong opinions. In his 2013 book, “The Great Escape,” Deaton expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of international aid programs in addressing poverty. He noted, for example, that China and India have lifted tens of millions of people out of poverty despite receiving relatively little aid money. Yet at the same time, poverty has remained entrenched in many African countries that have received substantial sums. Deaton’s book drew criticism from Bill Gates, who runs a foundation dedicated to fighting global poverty. The billionaire founder of Microsoft found Deaton’s critique of aid programs too broad. “If this is the only thing you read about aid, you will come away very confused about what aid does for people,” Gates wrote on his blog last year. Deaton has criticized the widening income gap between rich and poor in the U.S. But he has not become a darling of antiinequality activists the way another Nobel-winning economist, Columbia University’s Joseph Stiglitz, has. That may be because his views on inequality are complicated. In “The Great Escape,” he wrote that “inequality can sometimes be helpful” in promoting prosperity by giving people incentives to work harder and more efficiently.

Shooting at game badly injures man ARLINGTON, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man was shot and critically injured during an altercation at a tailgate party in a parking lot outside the stadium where the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots played on Sunday, police said. Arlington police spokesman Christopher Cook said officers were alerted to a fight in a parking lot of the NFL stadium. They heard a gunshot as they arrived and found a man in his early 40s injured. The man was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was later flown by helicopter to a hospital in Fort Worth for treatment. The suspected shooter apparently fell while attempting to flee, was injured and was also taken to the hospital, Cook said. The suspect was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and will be jailed once he is released from the hospital. Â

Man who lost leg hopes to surf again HONOLULU â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 25-year-old surfer who recently lost most of his leg in a shark attack near Oahu says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determined to ride the waves again. Hawaii News Now reports that doctors amputated most of Colin Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left leg after he was attacked by a 10to 12-foot tiger shark near islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Shore on Friday. The day later, Cook was out of his hospital bed and taking a few steps. The Oahu man had just opened his own fiberglass surfboard shop and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to work while he learns to walk again. His friends are trying to raise $50,000 so Cook wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about money during his recovery. Â

Obama is a longtime admirer of Robinson and her novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gilead,â&#x20AC;? an Iowa-based narrative that the president said he had read while visiting the state as a candidate. Obama explained that he met with Robinson because he was anxious simply to have a conversation with someone he liked and admired. Â

Chefs in white coats escorted the casket of celebrity chef Paul Prudhomme into St. Louis Cathedral on Monday. Dark-suited chefs from his highly successful K-Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Louisiana Kitchen brought the casket down the aisle to Jackson Square, where a brass band played a dirge. The Rev. Robert Cooper euologized him as a determined man of faith who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the failure of his first restaurant, a hamburger stand that closed after nine months in 1957, get him down. The largely self-taught Prudhomme, known for dishes including blackened redfish, died Thursday after a brief illness. Â

Incorporation splits business owners PURVIS -- If the push to incorporate Bellevue is successful, several businesses on U.S. 98 would become part of that proposed city. As can be expected, the owners have differing opinions on being included in what would be Lamar Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth city. Some, like Forrest Roberts, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking sides one way or the other. Roberts, who owns all the area Corner Market locations including the location in the Bellevue community, tells The Hattiesburg American heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support either side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live in the city (Hattiesburg), so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m indifferent,â&#x20AC;? said Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support either side â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I have no opinion. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m for what the citizens vote for.â&#x20AC;? Other business owners in the area are much more adamant on the subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m for Bellevue,â&#x20AC;? said Melvin Stafford, owner of Belleco Home Center on U.S. 98. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be Hattiesburg or Bellevue, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather it be Bellevue.â&#x20AC;? The move to incorporate began officially in late August, after a Lamar County Board of Supervisorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting during which the Citizens

of Bellevue group made a presentation outlining the details and benefits of the proposed city. If incorporated, Bellevue would span about 15 square miles with an initial population of 5,000 to 10,000. The Citizens of Bellevue group currently is working to gather on a petition the signatures of two-thirds of the registered voters in the Bellevue community. That document must then be filed in chancery court, per incorporation procedures. In addition to Corner Market and Belleco Home Center, the city would include businesses such as CVS Pharmacy, Citizens Bank, Merit Health Medical Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Primary Care Clinic and the Hattiesburg ClinicBellevue facility.

Wife of man killed in blast files lawsuit MOSS POINT -- The wife of a man killed in a 2014 explosion at Omega Protein is suing the company, saying her husband did not receive adequate warnings about flammable hydrogen sulfide gasses inside a storage tank he was working on when it blew up. The Sun Herald of Biloxi reports that Katlyn Taylor filed the lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court. Her husband, 25-year-old Jerry Lee Taylor II, was welding on the top of a metal storage tank at Omegaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fish processing plant on July 28, 2014 when the tank exploded. Katlyn Taylor is seeking punitive and compensatory damages for wrongful death, pain and suffering and other claims. She is asking for a jury trial.

Buyback bust? Individual investors are selling stocks, but companies are still buying, and at a torrid pace. Companies in the Standard and Poor’s 500 index are on track this year to spend $550 billion repurchasing their own shares, according to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices. That would match last year’s splurge, a post-financial crisis high. Buybacks have helped fuel the 6½-year bull market. By cutting the number of shares over which earnings are spread, they lift earnings per share and help companies look more profitable. The boost is big. In the second quarter, buybacks lifted EPS by 4 percent or more at a fifth of S&P 500 companies, according to S&P Dow Jones. But buybacks may hurt more than they help. Critics say they starve companies of funds needed to build factories, buy equipment, boost R&D budgets and hire people. A 2010 study by Fortuna Advisors of long-term stock returns showed that companies spending the most on buybacks vastly underperformed those that spent the least on them. Investors may be wising up. A fund that tracks companies repurchasing the most, the PowerShares Buyback Achievers Portfolio, beat the S&P 500 by an annual average of nearly six percentage points in the six years through 2014. So far this year, the buyback fund has lost 4 percent versus a loss of 2 percent for the broad index.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our early 70s and have two daughters. The younger one lives nearby, is married and has a 2-year-old. The older one, “Deirdre,” is divorced from a verbally and emotionally abusive husband. We had warned Deirdre against marrying this man because they seemed incompatible, but we were supportive when she insisted she loved him. They moved 2,500 miles away, and we traveled as often as possible to see her and show that we cared. When she called at 3 a.m., crying and begging me to talk to her husband, I traveled alone to comply. We suggested they seek counseling, which they did, but it didn’t help. When Deirdre filed for divorce, we paid for her lawyer. When her ex left her high and dry, we paid for a new car so she could get to work and drive her daughter to school. We pay their airfare to come here for summers and holidays. Annie, we are on a fixed income and it takes a lot of sacrificing to pay for all of these expenses. When we visit, my wife cooks and helps our granddaughter with her homework, while I clean house and take her to and

Annie’s Mailbox from school. Meanwhile, she has become just as confrontational as her mother. The girl never says thank you, is not affectionate toward us and has no respect for our authority. Recently, Deirdre became angry when our granddaughter called her at work in tears over a broken necklace. We were partly blamed for the incident and we flew back home upset and are currently not on speaking terms with Deirdre. I recently sent her a birthday card with a check, telling her that I will always love her. I don’t want to sever relations, but this relationship negatively affects my wife and I wonder whether there is a better solution. — Up the Creek Without a Paddle Dear Creek: Yes. Let go. Deirdre is difficult and her life with an abuser didn’t help. Her daughter is a combination of her parents, so you cannot expect sweetness and light from the girl. What you can do is accept them as they are. You are equating your

financial sacrifices with your treatment, but it won’t always match up. Do what you feel comfortable doing, but without expecting an emotional reward. Deirdre and her daughter could benefit from counseling, and you can suggest it, but again, keep your expectations in check. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. Dear Annie: Oct. 13 is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread from the breast to other organs in the body, most commonly the bones, liver, lungs or brain. Unfortunately, most of us diagnosed with MBC will eventually die from the disease. Additional research and treatment development will help a great many patients in the future. Please urge your readers to get informed. — New York Dear New York: Thank you for the timely reminder. Anyone who is interested in more information can contact the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network at mbcn. org or the National Cancer Institute at cancer.gov. We’ll be thinking of you.
